Washington DC Mold Remediation Company
Mold Removal in District Of Columbia is completed by our expert and professional staff who is certified, insured and bonded in Washington DC Mold Removal and has many satisfied customers since 1989.
For property owners in Washington DC, it is important to remember that mold exposure can be extremely hazardous to the health of families, colleagues, and customers. Home and business owners must put significant time and effort into finding the right mold remediation companies to complete their mold removal project. With over twenty years serving the communities within the District of Columbia, SI Restoration's mold removal specialists have created a set of guidelines for property owners to consider when searching for a mold removal contractor.
Insurance, Licensing, and Bonding
Washington DC mold removal specialists that service the District of Columbia should be licensed, insured, and bonded for mold remediation. Mold exposure is not only dangerous for the inhabitants of the affected property, it is also dangerous to the technicians on the job.
Reputable Washington DC mold remediation companies need to provide the proper licenses to operate in commercial and residential properties. Licensed mold contractors must pass a gamut of exams and testing in order to be qualified to work safely and efficiently in homes and businesses. Also, state and federal governments can regulate the quality of technicians and the equipment and chemicals used during the remediation process. By hiring a mold remediation company without a license, the property owner risks severe health hazards and damages to the property.
Insurance and bonding is also important to cover potential damages and hazards that could occur during the restoration process. Even the best mold removal company could make a mistake on the job. A reputable mold removal specialist can back up their work with the proper insurance, making sure that all work done is safe and up to the mold industry standards.
Independent Industrial Hygienist Testing
Property owners must be wary of mold remediation companies that advertise "free mold testing." Mold spore counts should only be administered by a third-party industrial hygienist (IH) who has no affiliation to the specialist hired by the property owner to remove the mold.
By including an independent IH in the process, the risk of tainted test results is eliminated. Contractors that administer and deliver test results on their own can present the results in a way that benefits the contractor and not the consumer. With the third-party Industrial Hygeniest, an unbiased result will be delivered, protecting the interests of the consumer and providing a fair assessment of the work done in the affected area.
Let Mold Removal Specialists Handle It
Washington DC property owners must remember that coming into contact with mold is not only dangerous to their health, but also the health of their property.
When mold is touched, its spores are disbursed into the air. Mold spores, dead or alive, can cause cross contamination into other areas of the home or office. If property owners attempt to clean or remove the mold on their own they risk other areas of the property being infected with mold growth, including their air conditioning and HVAC systems.
Washington DC Mold remediation specialists not only know how to remove mold best, but will also supply negative air technology and containment practices during the mold removal process. This will guarantee that all mold killed and removed from the affected area will be properly quarantined and cross contamination will not occur.

Just asking, is Surrey really safe?
Re: "Surrey is safe, top cop assures," The Leader, Jan. 17.
I guess this is how we placate the law-abiding masses? By not alarming them? By telling them Surrey is safe?
Well, since most of crimes are targeted shootings, let's hope they are good shots and wipe each other out.
As a Surrey resident since 1976, I have seen drastic changes in this city that used to pride itself as a farming community with lots of cattle, a little zoo, trees, and people that cared about their neighbour's well-being.
What happened to us? One neighbour shut themselves off from going too far at night. There is hardly a soul walking around unless someone is looking to jack a stereo or steal bottles out of a garage.
A few years ago on an Easter morning, the son of another neighbour chased a would-be car thief and tackled him and beat the living crap out of him. This was just in my quiet cul-de-sac alone.
Enough already. Some of us are not standing for it. A couple of drug operations are gone, but I'm sure many more will be moving into those new mega-homes that are building up all over.
There are laws, but the only ones in favour of enforcement are the law-abiding people using reasonable force. Just my two cents.

USC falls to CSUN in 11 innings
USC got a strong start from junior pitcher Bobby Wheatly, but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead then imploded in extra innings as Cal State Northridge beat USC 9-4 in 11 innings on Friday night at Dedeaux Field.
Kyle Davis, a freshman from Pacifica High, started the 11th for USC and ran into trouble. William Colantono led off and reached on an infield chopper up the middle, and then Davis walked Kyle Attl. Both runners moved into scoring position on Tommy Simis' sacrifice bunt, and then Davis walked Nicolas Osuna to load the bases.
Cal Vogelsong then hit a two-run double to left field to give the Matadors a 6-4 lead, and one out later, Josh Goossen-Brown also hit a two-run double to left to make it 8-4. The Matadors added another run on a dropped line drive.
The Trojans (2-3) held a 4-1 lead going into the seventh, after James Roberts' first-inning RBI double and a three-run fifth inning, in which Dante Flores and Vahn Bozoian had RBI hits.
Wheatley (Orange Lutheran High) pitched six innings and allowed one (unearned) run on four hits, walked one and struck out six, but the USC bullpen couldn't hold down the win for him. USC plays at Cal State Northridge on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Last week I wrote about seven reasons to buy the Google Nexus 7 and was able to find one at my local Best Buy on Friday. After spending a couple of days with the new Nexus 7 tablet I am hooked on the high resolution display and narrower form factor.
If you are interested in the Nexus 7 tablet and would like the chance for a free 2012 version in MINT condition, along with two cases, please listen to MobileTechRoundup show #301 and enter our giveaway.
Google announced the Nexus 7 last week and stated the device would be shipping by 30 July. Retailers, I believe Best Buy was first, jumped the gun on Friday and that opened the floodgates so that Amazon, Staples, and others let customers purchase them as well.
I pre-ordered on from Best Buy, but was able to find one at a local store so picked it up on Saturday morning and will return my pre-order one when it arrives. The 32GB WiFi model is available for $269, this is the one I purchased, and the 16GB one is $229. There will be a 32GB LTE model coming in the future for $349 that will support AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon data networks.
The Nexus 7 comes in a vibrant blue retail package, narrower and slimmer than the 2012 Nexus 7 retail package, much like the device itself. An USB A/C adapter and USB cable are included in the package, along with a small Quick Start Guide.
The first thing that stood out to me when pulling the Nexus 7 from the retail package was the narrower form factor. The 2012 model is thin and well designed, but it always felt a bit too wide for holding in one hand while manipulating with the other.
I also noticed the rather wide upper and lower bezel on the new Nexus 7 and am trying to figure out if this will bother me or not. I do like the all black color scheme, where the 2012 version had a silver frame.
In my previous Google Nexus 7 post I listed some of the improved specifications found in the new Nexus 7. Key specifications include:
The display is fantastic and is one of the aspects of the 2012 version that I wished was better when I purchased it. That is no longer the case as the Nexus 7 display can't be beat. The stereo speakers sound great and are a welcome addition.
I have an Energizer Qi charging plate that supports charging two devices wirelessly and one device with a cable. The convenience of charging without having to plug in the cable is great and I am getting spoiled by more and more of these devices having this functionality.
While I don't ever use my tablets to take photos and haven't sought out tablets with a rear facing camera, the camera seems decent on the Nexus 7. I like the photo sphere functionality and the Nexus camera experience.
The 2012 Nexus 7 Android 4.3 update is starting to roll out so it will soon have the latest Android software to match the new Nexus 7. The new Nexus 7 comes with the latest version of Android and a couple things I have noticed so far are the ability to rotate the screen (took a separate utility on the previous Nexus 7), the new Play Games service, and user profile support. Steven shared his top five features of Android 4.3 and I look forward to testing out more of these functions.
I read a few magazines I am subscribed to on Google Play and they look even better on the high resolution Nexus 7. I regularly rent videos from Google when I travel and look forward to testing out this functionality on my commute and future travel. The stereo speakers sound great with Google Play Music and will be great to share videos with family and friends.
The Nexus 7 is less expensive than the iPad mini and with my heavy usage of Google services it is a fantastic tablet option. I will be looking for a case to prop up my Nexus 7 for video consumption. As I use the Nokia Lumia 925 on T-Mobile, the Nexus 7 will meet my mobile Android needs.
Did any readers pick up the Nexus 7? Anything else you want me to test out on the device? I also ordered a Chromecast and will be testing out how well it works with the Nexus 7 soon.

Google's Nexus 7 was made available early and many of us were able to pick one up at Best Buy, Staples, and other local retailers. The Nexus 7 is a major improvement over the 2012 model.

Pluck a string and it vibrates. As it vibrates there are points along the string where it is absolutely still. Pluck a companion string and sometimes those points line up. If you pull that string tighter there are more points of stillness and a greater chance that points will line up. If you pull it too tight, it snaps.

text: The Utility of Serious Games for MarketingMaggie Greene7/13/08 3:30pmFiled to: MarketingSerious GamesIndustryBusinessSecond LifeVirtual WorldsVirtual worlds7EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A new report has been released on the utility of 'serious games' and in-game marketing in virtual spaces like Second Life; OTOinsights, the research arm of One to One Interactive, takes a look at the success (or lack thereof) of marketing attempts by major firms. They describe the results as 'uneven' and make some suggestions on how companies can better utilize virtual spaces to pitch their product(s): Advertisement "Serious games" refers to the use of games and game technologies for non-entertainment purposes. Traditionally, the education, health, and military sectors were the primary actors in this domain, but in the past few years, marketing has arisen as a major sub-domain of this area. Examples range from the selling of advertising inside video games to dozens of small, experimental corporate-sponsored spaces in virtual worlds such as Second Life, to the fully realized first-person shooter America's Army, developed as a recruitment tool for the U.S. Army. The results have been uneven, as most of these early efforts have had an experimental edge. This report releases findings that compare player engagement in some of Second Life's most successful user-generated areas compared with some of the more ambitious corporate-sponsored efforts in Second Life.From Worlds In Motion: Advertisement In its study, the firm noted that overall, the top user-generated sites are more popular than the top corporate sites in Second Life. "Perhaps the explanation for this disparity is that corporate sites offer different content or experiences than user-generated sites, and builders of user-generated sites are more effective at offering the content users want. Or perhaps the corporate sites offer similar content, and the reason is that Second Life users are simply resisting corporate influence as a part of their hipster ethos."Oh, snap.

Lewis Centre expansion opens next month in Courtenay
After months of construction, the Courtenay Recreation Lewis Centre expansion is set to officially open June 10.
Susan Murphy, manager of recreation services, said the project team is working hard to get the facility open.
"We're almost there, the crews are working on the finishing touches over the next few weeks," noted Murphy. "The entire department has worked hard on this project, and we are extremely excited to welcome the community into the new space on June 10."
The 11,000-square-foot expansion includes a new 4,000-square-foot Wellness Centre, a 3,000-square-foot activity room, plus new change rooms and showers. The squash courts are also being upgraded, along with a new mezzanine and squash viewing area. The Wellness Centre will feature extensive new equipment.
Murphy advised the expansion will have additional benefits.
"Not only does the Wellness Centre have state of the art fitness equipment, but it also has a spectacular view," she said. "Staring out at the lush green park and downtown landscape will be a real treat for our users."
The project represents a major leap forward for a facility that has been serving the community in a variety of shapes and forms since the 1940s.
The needs of older adults have been given special consideration in the project. Courtenay Recreation has chosen easily customizable, accessible equipment that will meet a wide range of user requirements and abilities.
The Evergreen Club, for members aged 55 and up, is contributing $5,000 to the Courtenay Recreation Lewis Centre project.
Gord Kruger, president of the Evergreen Club, said the donation represents the club's support for the project.
"We felt it was important to contribute, particularly since so many of our members use the facility," noted Kruger. "The Lewis Centre is an integral part of who we are and what we do."
The donation will be used to purchase a SciFit Inclusive Fitness Total Body Exerciser, a recumbent bicycle with foot and hand pedals providing upper body, lower body, or total body exercise.
"It's going to be a great piece of equipment," said Kruger. "We reviewed several options, and this one struck us as being a vital one for overall health and fitness."
Local resident Al Gray has been involved with Courtenay Recreation since the early 1970s, as a member of the Courtenay Recreational Association board of directors and as a facility user. He is particularly pleased with the new Wellness Centre's potential for older fitness users.
"People have been turned away from senior weight training programs at the Lewis Centre in recent years, because there wasn't room to accommodate them," advised Gray. "They had to use a lottery system for people wanting to take classes.
"This new Wellness Centre will hopefully mean they can get rid of the waiting lists. Weight bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis, so it's important that those services are available."
During opening week, Lewis Centre users will be able to take advantage of free equipment orientations, extended Wellness Centre and childminding hours, free introductory classes and daily prize draws. More details and schedules for opening week activities will be announced later in May.
Work on the Lewis Centre will continue throughout the summer, as crews move to renovate parts of the existing building. Crews will upgrade mechanical and ventilation systems, and constructing a new administration area for special needs programs and services. Project completion and official grand opening events are planned for October.
Funding assistance to help reduce borrowing costs for the $5.4-million project has been committed from a variety of sources, including $1,000,000 from the Federal Gas Tax Fund, as well as a $400,000 Community Recreation Grant from the Province of B.C. The City is actively pursuing other funding opportunities.

Post-9/11, counterterrorism strategy across the globe has drawn much criticism from human rights groups and civil libertarians for relying too heavily on military action. Experts are now pointing to countries in Southeast Asia for effective alternative models which treat terrorist suspects better and keep public support on the government's side. At a recent regional security conference in Singapore, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said: "The governments out here take it very seriously and, in my opinion, seem to be doing a very good job individually and working together to deal with that terrorist threat" (NYT).
Southeast Asia is often referred to as the second front on global "war on terror." Terrorist organizations like Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) in Indonesia and Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines claim links with al-Qaeda. JI seeks to establish a pan-Islamic state across much of the region. According to a 2007 Congressional Research Service Report (PDF), JI formed close working relationships with other militant Islamic groups in the region and has cells in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand as well as in Australia and Pakistan. "[C]rackdowns by various governments in the region… are believed to have severely weakened the organization," it notes. But counterterrorism specialists warn that challenges remain in terms of better regional cooperation between the countries and potential regeneration of JI and other terrorist networks.
Experts say Indonesia and the Philippines have used soft counterterrorism methods to fight terror. While the Philippines approach is a more militarized one, in Indonesia terrorist suspects are treated well and encouraged to defect or to share information. Joshua Kurlantzick, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, writes in TIME that Indonesian security forces once reviled for their brutal treatment of suspects have adopted a new approach. Today, Kurzantzick notes, "the Indonesian government successfully prosecutes cases against these militants in court, keeping public opinion on Jakarta's side."
The contrast with Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay is obvious and not lost on public opinion abroad, experts say. The trend also has registered in Washington. The U.S. State Department's 2007 Country Reports on Terrorism recognizes Indonesia's successful efforts to curb terrorism by noting a 14 percent increase in the number of tourists to the country. The United States has close military ties with several countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand. These relationships range from arms sales to port facilities to military training. In Indonesia, the United States helped to train and equip Special Detachment 88, an Indonesian counterterrorism police unit launched in 2003 in response to the Bali bombings.
Yet, unlike in Pakistan, where air strikes like the one that went awry on June 10 in Pakistan's tribal areas have stirred anti-American anger (BBC), Southeast Asian countries have had more success convincing their populations that the counterterrorism struggle is being conducted by their own governments on their behalf. In a September 2007 opinion survey conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org in Pakistan, only 27 percent of participants said the cooperation between Pakistan and the United States on security and military matters had benefited Pakistan. Ambassador Dell C. Dailey at the U.S. State Department's office of the coordinator for counterterrorism said in December 2007, "Our most important task in the war on terrorism is not the 'destructive' task of eradicating enemy networks, but the 'constructive' task of building legitimacy, good governance, trust, rule of law, and tolerance."

One aspect of character growth is the Liliale (Re-real?) Orbs, which can be placed in a grid where you'll be able to control your character's growth in different categories: strength, vitality, dexterity, intelligence, spirit and agility. While these are pretty much self-explanitory, strength also increases your chances of a guard break, while vitality helps you resist them. Intelligence increases offensive magic power and your chances of delivering a status attack while Spirit helps you defend against those very two things. Agility is useful for the Artes, while dexterity makes them powerful and determines your chances of landing a critical hit.
The company had mentioned at the game's announcement that J-pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki is singing the game's theme, 'Progress.'

Court: State can put an end to local redevelopment agencies
Cities across California were sent reeling Thursday by a state Supreme Court ruling that could spell the end for about 400 local redevelopment agencies.
The court ruled on the constitutionality of a pair of bills passed by the Legislature in June. Assembly Bill 1x 26 sought to help balance the state budget by eliminating local redevelopment agencies and seizing their money. Assembly Bill 1x 27 would have allowed redevelopment agencies to remain in operation – if they voluntarily agreed to give the state a portion of their property tax dollars every year.
The court upheld the first bill, but struck down the second, which for the moment appears to leave redevelopment agencies with no chance of survival. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the California Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities and others.
"That is the worst news we could have had," said Bruce Broadwater, a city councilman in Garden Grove, one of 25 cities in Orange County with a redevelopment agency.
Cities view redevelopment agencies as an important tool to revitalize run-down neighborhoods. Redevelopment agencies have the authority to seize properties and use property tax revenue to subsidize new development. The agencies have also been used to finance parks, the restoration of historic buildings and other costly local projects.
Despite the court's ruling, redevelopment agencies won't go away immediately – they must pay off their existing debt. The decision, however, prevents redevelopment agencies from engaging in new business.
Immediately following the court's ruling, the California Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities vowed to work with the Legislature to develop a bill to save redevelopment.
"Without immediate legislative action to fix this adverse decision, this ruling is a tremendous blow to local job creation and economic advancement," association president Julio Fuentes said in a prepared statement. "The legislative record is abundantly clear that Legislators did not intend to abolish redevelopment. We hope to work with state lawmakers to come up with a way to restore redevelopment."
Long-time redevelopment critic Chris Norby, a Republican assemblyman from Fullerton, said most legislators would like to bring back redevelopment. But Norby said redevelopment agencies are greedy. The two-package bill passed in June would have allowed for their survival, he said, but the agencies challenged it because they didn't want to cede anything to the state.
"They wanted it all and they wound up with nothing," he said.
In Orange County, cities officials reacted to the court's ruling with dismay.
"I'm very disappointed," said San Juan Capistrano City Councilwoman Laura Freese, who chairs the city's redevelopment agency. "This is the one option we hoped we weren't going to have to work with."
In the past, redevelopment money has been used to renovate the Mission Capistrano Depot and entice businesses like Orange Coast Chrysler and Tuttle Click Ford to San Juan Capistrano.
The court's decision now jeopardizes planned projects, which would have relied on redevelopment funds, including a water line to service the proposed Plaza Banderas hotel downtown and the first steps of the downtown revamp plan.
In Irvine, the ruling cast doubt on the viability of the Orange County Great Park, which is meant to be constructed with future redevelopment money.
"The voters of Irvine have approved the Great Park and the way that we planned to fund it was through our redevelopment agency," said Councilman Jeff Lalloway. "At this point, we don't know what the Supreme Court's ruling means for our plans."
Irvine's contract with a homebuilder creates a legal obligation for the city to build the Great Park, and existing obligations are supposed to be fulfilled under the new law, Lalloway said.
"There's going to be a lot of scrambling by state legislators," he said. "I can tell you for a fact that these guys are going to run and scramble to fix this mess because they did not intend to eliminate redevelopment agencies."
Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez called it "a sad day, awful....This means we have to shut down -- we will no longer have a redevelopment agency."
Santa Ana is struggling to close a projected budget gap of $30 million in the next fiscal year. The city budget impact of the court ruling weren't immediately clear on Thursday. But the city had said in August it would have to pay $20 million to participate in the alternative redevelopment program that was struck down by Thursday's court ruling. The city's redevelopment agency was expected to receive $728 million in net tax increment revenues over the remaining life of existing redevelopment projects.
Planned redevelopments such as a façade renovation for the historic Spurgeon building in downtown Santa Ana won't be able to go forward, Martinez said.
However, the Station District, a planned combination of housing, retail and park space along Santa Ana Boulevard east of downtown, will go ahead because state tax credits for affordable housing are already in place for the project, she said.
Huntington Beach Mayor Don Hansen said one of his biggest concerns is how the state is going to wind down cities' redevelopment agencies in a way that won't devastate already-tight budgets. A list of projects slated for the Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue area as part of an extensive effort to revamp two of the city's main corridors will be heavily affected by this ruling, Hansen said.
"I'm hopeful that they'll understand that just yanking it out from underneath us has serious consequences to local budgets," he said.
"This will probably bring any of (those projects) to a complete stop."

Notify one of the mods. Per the tapatalk faq, it means the plugin is very outdated and needs to be replaced with the latest version.

I think you should ask one of the current guys because I'm not at liberty to just say what they have or don't have enabled.
That being said.. there isn't any real legitimate reason this should have already been done over the past two months. If there is some mysterious reason, I'd like for that to be explained to the community.

Hey all. Please keep in mind that my first duty in this is to not break the site. I've only been on the tech side of PSU for a couple of months, but my 12+ years of software/web development is my guiding light as to how I do things. Part of my process is to only implement new features and fixes that can be tested in a development environment. No matter how small. Dev environments rarely mimic production in every way so that can be a a bit of an impediment to some new features/upgrades.....particularly forum software. My goal is to get to a point where I feel confident that any updates, fixes, etc. that I implement are fully tested before they go live. I treat PSU just as I do the many applications that I develop for on a daily basis in my normal job. PSU isn't my day job, but it is for others and I owe it to them to take care that PSU is in good hands.
Thanks for your patience.

After two months of holiday indulging, my friend Patrick informed me that he was going to lose weight in the new year, to get ready for his upcoming wedding to his fiancé Kelsey. "How are you planning to do that?" I asked, curious to know how this young man, a former college football player who could probably bench press a Volkswagen, would approach the challenge. "Lettuce wraps," he replied.
Well Patrick, this one is for you. And it comes from my best pal and blogging buddy, the incredible marvelous Jaden Hair of SteamyKitchen.com, from her newly released cookbook, Steamy Kitchen's Healthy Asian Favorites. (In fact, all of the recipes in her book would be great for your new year resolution, hmmm, maybe I'll get you a copy as a pre-wedding gift!) These lettuce wraps are easy, fast, and fresh with stir-fried chicken, green onions, shiitake mushrooms (mushroom flavor bombs), and sweet bits of mango, seasoned with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce, and served in butter lettuce cups. You can easily whip them up in less than half an hour.
Chicken Mango Lettuce Wraps Recipe
PrintWhy the corn starch? It's a cooking trick that you often find in Chinese recipes. The corn starch helps the chicken hold in its moisture and keep it from drying out in the high heat of the stir frying.
Recipe slightly modified from Chicken Mango Lettuce Cups in Steamy Kitchen's Healthy Asian Favorites by Jaden Hair.
- 1 pound ground chicken (I use ground chicken thighs for more flavor)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce if cooking gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon corn starch (or potato or rice starch)
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil (a high smoke point oil would be best such as rice bran oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 large mango, diced (see How to Cut a Mango)
- 1 head of butter lettuce, rinsed, leaves separated
1 Place the ground chicken, soy sauce, and corn starch in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
2 Heat a wok or a large sauté pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the oil. Add the green onions and sliced shiitakes. Let cook for about a minute.
3 Increase the heat to high, and add the ground chicken, soy sauce, corn starch mixture. Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground chicken and spread around the pan. Stir fry in this way for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Add the seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, and diced mango. Remove from heat. Adjust seasonings (rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce) to taste.
Scoop spoonfuls into the cups formed by the lettuce leaves to serve.
Options - stir in a small spoonful of chili sauce, or add a few chili pepper flakes to the oil as it is heating. Top with some fresh cilantro leaves. Experiment with other meats such as lamb, turkey, beef, or pork. Try subbing out the mango with mandarin orange slices.

Oct 31 Halloween: Bay Area Youth Protest Against ICE in SF; Call for an Immediate End to All Raids
This Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31, hundreds of youth from throughout the Bay Area gathered with community members and families to denounce the atrocities committed against immigrant communities by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Youth demanded an immediate end to all ICE raids, the shutdown of all detention centers, and the creation of real sanctuary cities.
The protest started at 10 am in San Francisco's Ferry Park (Washington between Davis and Drumm) with blessings from Danza Azteca and community organizer and author Betita Martinez, skull face painting, and other festivities. At 11:30 am, a funeral march made its way to the ICE office at 630 Sansome, followed by a mass rally in front of ICE.
The protest was a response to ICE attacks on immigrant communities, attacks that have taken place even in so-called "sanctuary cities" like San Francisco. The protest also brought attention to the repression and violence faced by immigrant communities during a presidential election season that has seen neither major candidate address the issues facing immigrant families.
Breaking News From 10/31:
2:15pm: In Oakland, 400 people were reportedly prevented from attending the protest because of BART's closure of the Fruitvale station.
2pm: Protesters have surrounded the ICE building on Sansome. Several people have locked down with 55-gallon drums on both ends of the building's driveway, where vans normally load and unload detainees.
11am: BART police have shut down at least three stations - Richmond, Fruitvale, and Coliseum - from which groups of protesters were gathering to commute to the protest in downtown San Francisco. At least three protesters were arrested in Richmond. Some trains were delayed, and others were bypassing Fruitvale and Coliseum stations.

People Rush to Meet Tax Deadline
APRIL 15, 2014-- Tax preparers around the area have been busy all season working with last minute filers. Officials say that if you are filing your taxes at the last minute to take a deep breath, because you don't want to rush and make mistakes. Enrolled IRS agents say make sure you have all your paperwork ready for the big deadline. Be sure to double check everything and make sure you have all your documents ready. It's also important to double check that everything matches on your paperwork. If you don't have all of your paperwork officials say you should file an extension. What happens if you miss the big deadline? Well, officials say if you owe money the sooner you get it in the better, to avoid penalties and interest rates. Local residents say today was hectic to get that paperwork complete and in. If you did file an extension, that deadline is October 15th.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Singer Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees Wednesday said he is on the road to recovery after being "very unwell" in recent days, and he thanked fans for their support in a message posted on his website.
"I wish to thank my family, friends and fans and the many thousands of people who do not know me but have enjoyed Bee Gees music and have wished me well," wrote Gibb.
"I have been very unwell and am now on the road to recovery, and your prayers and wishes are a great tonic to me," the singer added.
The message comes after British media outlets in recent days reported that Gibb, 61, was battling liver cancer. Several of his representatives, however, either declined to confirm those reports to Reuters or were unavailable to comment.
Last month, he was hospitalized for abdominal pain and was treated for colon inflammation. After being released by doctors, he issued a statement saying he planned to return to work, according to media reports at the time.
Gibb is one of the surviving members of the Bee Gees, a band he formed with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry in the 1960s, and achieved international success with hits such as "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever."

Although unevolved cards are banned in elo, I just want to know if there are any new usable cards aside from those commonly used in the past (Wanda, Gwen, Svelthlana, noodile, zatman? and even Selsya Cr)
The only one I know that is fairly recent is Deebler because of the damg reduction. Any other ones you know/
Juicy Lord
Windy Mor
Xia Leming
Gina Glitt
at one point or another i have seen the cards above used in ELO
there are other cards out there i missed im sure
all the newer ones playable at a lower level never saw ELO since undeveloped/partially developed cards have been banned for a while
Milena 2*
C Beast 4*
Jackie Cr 3*
Dorian 4*
Lyse Teria Cr 2*
I might add:
Caelus Cr 4*
Vickie Cr 4*
Warren 1*
Ottavia 2* (yeah there is spiaghi now)
I saw some people use Charlie 3*
Jeena 2* (yes there is Arno, but people usually bring both and it is ridiculous)
Chloe and Miss Chloe 4*
Wee Lee 2* and 3* (he is very flexible)
Burt 2*
some less known cards
Kerozinn Cr 4* (I don't think it is worth to use now..)
Asporov 3* (this one is good)
Hattori 4* (not many use it since at 5* he gain 2 more power)
Jane ramba 2* (3* jane ramba is much more threatening than 2 stars version (with 4 damage))
Lets see...this list needs some major updating,so ll start off with
level 3 Mikaal
level 1 zatman
level 2 Milena
level 2 Jeena
level 2 Deebler
How is lv 3 Mikaal superior to other 3*s like Haaken and Sah Brinak? 2 power and 1 damage is a poor trade-off for one less star...
He's not, but since he has the ability at level 3, someone might theoretically use him at level 3. Same as level 4 Kalindra, 6/4 and +1lpd doesn't sound too threatening, but the option is there.
Is there still place for the unevolved cards? How about an event where only unevolved cards are use? Wouldn't it be interesting?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked far and wide in their attempt to trade wide receiver Arrelious Benn. They finally found a taker, even if they are barely getting anything in return.
The Philadelphia Eagles announced they acquired Benn and a 2013 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2013 sixth-round pick and a conditional pick in 2014.
In short, the Bucs were ready to cut Benn, a second-round pick in 2010. All the Bucs got was a move up from the seventh round to the sixth round. We suspect that a conditional pick is low, and dependent on Benn producing solid numbers in 2013. Benn hasn't topped 500 yards in three NFL seasons. He caught only four passes in Tampa Bay last year.
Philadelphia is looking for depth after DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Coach Chip Kelly likes to use a lot of speedy receivers, and Benn certainly qualifies in the speed department. Nothing is guaranteed for him making the roster, but the Eagles didn't have to give up much to get him.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Is an extension of time for an existing nonconforming use exempt from CEQA review? A new writ action just filed proposes to resolve that issue.
As a preamble, why should you care about a new petition in Superior Court? Good CEQA lawyers sometimes snag petitions filed in Superior Court on the theory that they might yield Court of Appeal opinions three years later, which may make some useful new law. Early anticipation of CEQA law may help other potential challengers to sharpen their administrative comments and writs, or conversely help developers to beef up EIRs to better withstand future challenges. Nothing causes a lawyer to swell with pride like being able to tell a City Council worried about a new court of appeal case that, "Oh yes, we anticipated that decision some time ago and built protections into your EIR--you'll be fine."
This petition, Protect Wine Country v. County of Riverside (RIC1407608), filed August 5, 2014, observes (correctly) that most jurisdictions require nonconforming uses to end "at a reasonable time," normally defined as that time which would allow the owners of nonconforming uses to get a reasonable return on their investments, while at the same time eventually creating zoning consistency. A new County ordinance, however, eliminates all time constraints on how long a legal structure or use can continue in areas where the zone has subsequently changed since the original approval of the structure or use. It effectively gives a permanent vested right to nonconforming uses regardless of future zone changes. It even allows nonconforming uses to expand by up to 25 percent with the same protections.
Petitioners Protect Wine Country filed comments on the EIR, seeking to enlighten local supervisors as to the errors of such an approach - especially the need for CEQA review - but the County stubbornly persisted. "No new land disturbance or development project is associated with this ordinance amendment and it does not commit the county to approve any new development." Petitioners, as usual, invoked Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5, the private attorney general theory, entitling them to recover their reasonable attorney's fees should a court conclude they were right.
The early line betting tends to favor the petitioner again. Pundits are unimpressed with the County's simplistic analysis that since nonconforming uses are by definition existing uses, continuing them cannot have any significant new impacts. Under the prior law, nonconforming uses (which presumably have greater adverse impacts than what the current zoning would have allowed - that is, after all, how they got to be nonconforming uses) will have to terminate eventually, at which point they would cease having greater significant impacts. The new ordinance, however, allows these uses to continue past that point - indeed forever. Ergo, it will have greater significant impacts - which were not studied - violating CEQA.
The County of Riverside, never a hotbed of environmentalist fervor, is perceived as taking a more pro-development tilt in recent years; given the Riverside economy, that should come as no surprise (the snarky local joke is that Riverside County banks are enticing people to open new checking accounts by offering them either a toaster or a new home...and most people take the toaster). The County itself even labeled recent zoning changes as "business friendly" amendments.
This case will play out with an interesting cast of characters. Protect Wine Country, a group of local vintners, toasted with champagne when they obtained a writ against an earlier Riverside County ordinance amending practically all zoning ordinances in the Country of Riverside. The ordinance would have added language allowing uses not listed as permitted in a particular zone if the Planning Director determines the use to be of substantially the same, in character and intensity, as permitted uses in the same zone, - and exempted such determinations from CEQA again because they "could not possibly" have different, significant impacts. Petitioner's counsel in that action and this action, Raymond W. Johnson, has drawn criticism in some circles for filing large numbers of CEQA suits and settling them with attractive attorney's fees awards, although skeptics should note that when forced to trial, Johnson has won his share of such suits.
We will keep you posted.

The Cruising Companion Car Harness Blue - Large attaches to most vehicle seat belts, keeping pets safe and secure while riding in cars. Further comfort is provided for your pets to sit, lie, or stand in the car. Woven nylon with quick-release buckles and heavy-duty hardware provide extra convenience and durability. Extra-wide, padded chest strap for even more comfort. Harness Size fits Girth Measurement: X-small: 7 inches 16 inches Small/Medium: 12 inches 28 inches Large: 28 inches 36 inches X-Large: 32 inches 44 inches States with Pet Required Vehicle Restraint Legislation Dogs unrestrained in cars distract drivers, pose threatBy Larry Copeland, USA TODAY 8/18/2010 Dog lovers, beware: Taking man's best friend for a ride could be risky. Nearly 60% of dog owners have driven while distracted by their pets as passengers, according to a new survey by auto club AAA. Only 17% - about one in six - ever use animal restraints, which can prevent pets from being a distraction and protect them and other occupants in a crash, the survey finds. In crashes, unrestrained dogs pose an unintended threat to the driver and other passengers, says Jennifer Huebner-Davidson, manager of traffic safety programs at AAA. She says an unrestrained 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert 500 pounds of force on whatever it strikes; an 80-pound dog in a crash at just 30 mph will exert about 2,400 pounds, she says. Unrestrained dogs also can prove distracting by climbing onto the driver's lap, interfering with the ability to steer or crawling onto the foot pedals. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that people use restraints on dogs and cats to prevent harm to the animals, the driver and other passengers, says Louise Murray, a veterinarian and vice president of the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York. Pets not only shouldn't ride in the driver's lap, they also shouldn't ride in the front passenger seat because of the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, Murray says. "The best way for people to think about this is to compare the dog to having a child in the car," she says. Pet restraints include harnesses, hard- or soft-sided travel crates and vehicle seats. People are taking their dogs along for leisure rides, on local errands and on other trips, according to the online survey by AAA and Kurgo of 1,000 dog owners who have driven with their dogs in the past 12 months. Other risks of riding with unrestrained dogs: After a crash, the animal might run away or prevent rescue personnel from reaching injured motorists. Almost four in 10 (39%) households in the USA have a dog, the American Pet Products Association says. "Our dogs are traveling with us so much more this day and age," Huebner-Davidson says. "They really have become part of our family. We want to make sure we're buckling up our dogs but also keeping our focus on the road." 5.00 rating based on 3 reviews Featured Reviews for Cruising Companion Car Harness Blue - Large Outstanding by RobRoyMom from Raleigh, NC05/07/2011 Today I'm ordering a larger size...my little sheltie just keeps getting bigger. This harness is so easy to get on to the dog & easy to attach the leash to just walk him into anywhere you're going. Also, he seems to find it less offensive than putting on that big fuzzy thing for riding in Dad's truck. Recommend it highly! Keeps my pups safe in the car... by Leslie from Massacusetts07/12/2012 I purchased several of these harnesses in various sizes, as I have 7 dogs. They're very easy to put on & fit. And so simple in the car, clicks in just your seatbelt. It lets the dog have enough slack so that they can sit, stand or lie down but keeps them restrained in the case of a short stop or, god forbid, an accident. Great product. by MJ from Chicago, IL04/10/2013 Hopefully my Molly can now be more comfortable in the car! Featured Reviews for Pet Gear Booster Car Seat - Large Charcoal Large charcoal pet booster bed by Soni from Tucson Arizona07/13/2014 Works well. Timely arrival. If you redesign, use thinner foam. the walls are too thick. Featured Reviews for Pet Gear Booster Car Seat Medium - Charcoal Chair-ish the moments by Mama Raine from Atlanta, Georgia09/11/2013 My son became a nervous passenger after a long hiatus from riding. After I purchased this booster seat, it has slowly introduced my son back to the passenger seat. He is not afraid of the car anymore. He can see where he is going. We love it!!!!! |

- - Tank Scrubber???
Tank Scrubber??? There is a product here in Oz from NUTRA SEA called "Marine Tank Scrubber", web address is www.customsealife.com. does anybody on here use their products at all?...and does this type of stuff work? I do use their "Reef Energizer" for my filter feeders, they seem to love that. Rob. |
oops, just checked that address and they are no longer. anyway I still got this bottle and want to know if I should use it up...still full and not that old. Rob. |
any ideas on these type of products? or should it be just plain elbow grease? |
If looking for a product to use to clean the glass of an old drained tank try this, salt. Salt from a mix used on a sponge can be used as an aggregate that won't scratch the glass. |
sorry, I should of said its an additive you put in an established tank, its says on the bottle: Marine Tank Scrubber contains molecules that are chemically engineered to remove pollution from marine and freshwater tanks. This product combines with pollutants to form large aggregates that are easily removed by mechanical filtration. Periodic applications of marine tank scrubber will keep your tank free of unsightly green, red and brown algae. what do you think?? Rob. |
Kent products make a similar binder. The idea is to "chelate" the smaller molecules and bind them into large particles. This can work well with a skimmer but can also overpower it with almost clear water pouring out every second. This can be very frustrating. I've tried them before in the freshwater tanks and was not impressed. |
so with good flow in a tank and a good Skimmer, i will be better off and save money in the long run? |

Iron Augury
It was a bankrupt ruin by the 1660s; nevertheless, the Saugus Ironworks foretold America's industrial might
November 1998 | Volume 49, Issue 7
Unfortunately, Winthrop chose a site in Braintree, south of Boston, for the first furnace, and it proved a costly failure when supplies of iron ore and water proved inadequate. Winthrop had so many other responsibilities that he was unable to give his full attention to the project. The company, deciding it needed new leadership, brought over Richard Leader, who had a thorough knowledge of the iron business.
While not abandoning the Braintree site, Leader chose to develop another site, north of Boston, in what was then Lynn and is now part of the town of Saugus. It was ready by 1647 but got off to a rocky start. Dr. Robert Child, one of the original investors who was visiting Boston, wrote Winthrop that "our Iron works as yet bring us in noe considerable profit."
Surviving records report frequent accidents and other troubles that came about as the request of a "want of experience in the Minerals in most of our workmen." Even the workers who had been brought over from England for their experience were a major problem. Because they had been chosen solely for their expertise, not for their religious convictions and personal behavior, they did not easily fit into the semitheocracy that was Puritan Massachusetts. A steady stream of ironworkers and members of their families appeared in the courts of Lynn, charged with drunkenness, adultery, nonattendance at church, contempt, and violation of the sumptuary laws (which regulated who could wear what types of clothing).
Still, great progress was made, despite the fact that, as one investor explained, "Every new undertaking hath its difficulty." By the end of the summer of 1648, John Winthrop the elder wrote his son that "the furnace runnes 8 tun per weeke, and their barre Iron is as good as Spanish." Moreover, the workers were showing a marked habit of adapting old ways to new conditions. As early as 1646, Joseph Jenks, a skilled blacksmith at the Saugus site, received a patent on an innovation described as "engines for mills to goe with water," for manufacturing edged tools, such as scythes. It is perhaps the earliest example of "Yankee ingenuity."
But while the Saugus ironworks turned out increasing amounts of both pig iron and products made from it, what it did not produce was a profit. The stockholders, not a bit different from stockholders today, kept pressing for changes that they hoped would lead to a return on their investment. As the losses mounted, the financial situation went from bad to worse. In 1653 the troubles exploded in a blizzard of lawsuits that reached as high as the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell.
Ownership of the ironworks fell into the hands of its creditors. But during the period when production was interrupted by legal troubles, the works deteriorated and many of its skilled workers drifted off to other places.
The Saugus ironworks never recovered. By 1676 the works were in ruins, and the town was petitioning for the removal of the dam across the Saugus River so that alewives could once again run up it to spawn.
Still, if the first industrial-scale ironworks in North America was a failure, the idea behind it—that one could make money producing iron in the American colonies—was sound. By the end of the colonial era, the colonies were producing one-seventh of the world's pig iron supply.
Archeological work at the Saugus site began in 1948, and a wealth of artifacts was found, including the five-hundred-pound hammer used to pound impurities out of the iron after it was smelted. Today, fully restored, the Saugus ironworks is one of the major tourist attractions of Massachusetts and a national historic site, run by the National Park Service. It fully deserves that status, for it is a memorial to the spirit that created it, a spirit that contributed as much in its own way as did the spirit of liberty to making this country what it is today.

School of Shred: Paul Gilbert on the Art and Science of Playing Lead Guitar
Blazing Pentatonics
Many of Gilbert's licks are based on patterns that he moves around the fretboard, as he demonstrates with the climbing A minor pentatonic legato run in FIGURE 11. The initial melodic pattern is eight notes long and is repeated with different notes across the remaining strings.
Although Gilbert has long fingers, he uses his fret-hand pinkie a lot. It's a point worth noting, because you might think that he would rely on his extended reach and not use his pinkie much at all. Gilbert advises students with similarly endowed hands to develop the use if their pinkie because it will pay off in the long run.
The earlier you build its strength, the sooner it can become useful. Be sure to use the pinkie to finger all the eighth-fret notes in FIGURE 11.
When playing this example, it's easy to start thinking in triplets, as the grouping of the first three notes suggests. Keep in mind that you're playing 16th notes; tapping your foot, or at least nodding your head on each downbeat as Gilbert does in the video, will help you feel the 16th-note subdivision.
FIGURE 12 is a descending, pattern based A minor pentatonic lick that Gilbert demonstrates, this one incorporating more hammer-ons than pull-offs. Notice the wide interval jump between the fifth and sixth notes (C down to E). Gilbert begins this lick with a downstroke and alternate picks the notes that aren't slurred, avoiding the use of two consecutive downstrokes or upstrokes, which in this case would slow him down. Try moving this lick to other areas of the neck and repeating it in different octaves, as Gilbert often does.
Natural Harmonics
In FIGURE 13, Gilbert demonstrates how a scale, in this case C major, may be played melodically in diatonic thirds. The pattern is "down one note, up two notes," and it stays within the scale. Gilbert does something similar in FIGURE 14. Here, he uses a symmetrical fingering pattern across the strings, but the notes don't comprise any particular scale.
Players like Eddie Van Halen and Dimebag Darrell have used symmetrical patterns like this in their lead playing. Be sure to concentrate on the fingering pattern used in this example and notice how it's similar to the first example, in terms of contour.
Gilbert then takes the same fingering pattern from FIGURE 14 and plays natural harmonics (N.H.) instead of fretted notes, creating a very cool and unusual note sequence with lots of wide intervals. When executing each natural harmonic, be sure to lightly touch the string with the fret-hand finger directly over the fret rather than press the string down to the neck behind the fret. The harmonics at the fourth fret are a little more challenging to nail and must be performed accurately. Otherwise you'll just produce a dull mute.
Piano-Style Licks
FIGURE 16 is a cool piano-style lick that Gilbert plays, and it's a pointed example of his efficient picking technique. As in FIGURES 7 to 10, the guitarist begins with an upstroke to economize the movement from the high E string to the lower strings.
A lot of Gilbert's super-fast alternate picking is based around this principle. When playing this example, keep the alternating notes on the high E and B strings separate so that they don't bleed into each other. You can do this by releasing each fretting finger's pressure against the string immediately after the note is picked. Also, avoid moving your fret hand excessively; it should move very little, in fact, so work on keeping the movement as efficient as possible.
Three-Octave Licks
Gilbert points out that a 24-fret guitar has a four-octave range (not including harmonics) and that the fretboard's layout lends itself well to repeating note sequences in different octaves up and down the neck using the same fingering shape. A cool technique the guitarist likes to use is to take a short melodic idea and transpose it up and down and across the neck in octaves, as he demonstrates with the three-note A major arpeggio shape in FIGURE 17.
This technique helps develop your skill at shifting positions quickly and offers a great way of extending a short lick into a mammoth one. Notice that the initial three-note sequence is repeated on the next two higher strings using the same pattern, two frets higher and then on the top two strings, three frets higher.
This two-string concept is particularly useful for guitarists since it relies on each pair of adjacent strings, except the G and B, being tuned the same way, in fourths. FIGURE 18 is another example of this technique that Gilbert offers, this based on a more interesting six-note pattern in the A Mixolydian mode (A B C# D E F# G), which works well over an A7 chord.
To help switch from his fourth finger to his second finger between each six-note group, Gilbert uses a subtle finger slide, which is easier than trying to perfectly nail each position shift "from the air" and sounds very cool. You'll find it helpful to first practice each six-note group separately before stringing them together. Also, keep your fret hand arched high, be- cause flattening your fingers will cause noise and slow you down.
Untranscribable Lick
"Here's my secret lick that's been impossible to transcribe," says Gilbert. "I know the mental process involved and can teach your brain how to get it. There's this kid in Japan who's apparently an expert on my style. He plays all the stuff that I've done, which is kind of frightening for me! Every time I see him play, I'm like, 'I've gotta learn something new!' And so I came up with a seemingly untranscribable, lightning-fast legato lick that I'm hoping even he can't play!"
Not letting Gilbert's "untranscribable" tag deter us, we've tabbed out the lick he plays on the video in FIGURE 19. The best approach is to start with you fret hand only, which maps out the initial 11-note pattern upon which the lick is based. Gilbert uses this pattern all the time, so it's worth getting to grips with it before adding the tapped notes.
The general principal behind the taps can be a little bit confusing at first, because Gilbert doesn't quite do exactly what he thinks he does; even though he starts of by tapping the B note at the D string's ninth fret on the video, when the lick is in full swing he begins taps the E note at the same fret on the G string instead. When he moves to other positions and strings, he then alternates the tapping between the two strings, but for our main lick, stick to tapping the ninth fret E on the G string.
This tap will serve as your "pulse" as you ramp the lick up to speed. Paul demonstrates this on the video, alternating between the original legato lick and the tapped lick. Listen for the rhythmic accents of each tap in the lick. This is the key to working with the odd set of notes and making the lick flow.
We can see why this lick has never been transcribed before, but it's reassuring to see that even a player as precise and technically accomplished as Gilbert finds the lick so intuitive that it's hard to explain.
One of the trickiest parts of playing FIGURE 19 is executing the fret-hand tap with the pinkie. This needs to be done quickly and firmly in order to generate sufficient volume for the note to be heard in balance with the other notes. Try practicing the first eight notes as a separate lick, aiming for even volume and tone between the notes. This will help with the transition between the third and fourth strings.

The band sounds the most engaged on the early hardcore numbers like "Suicidal Maniac" (Suicidal Tendencies), "Thirsty and Miserable" (Black Flag), and "It's the Limit" (Cro-Mags), while nods to the metal gods such as "Ghosts of War" (Slayer) and "Escape" (Metallica) are blistering and volatile enough to warrant inclusion, but feel a little rote.
Alternative PressEvery band represented on For The Lions are hardcore legends, and Hatebreed do their songs justice--they just don''t deliver anything in the way of innovation. [Jun 2009, p.104]
Overstuffed and a little undercooked, Lions suffers from the fact that Hatebreed's influences aren't terribly diverse, and many of the short, hard, and fast numbers tend to blend together in a way that won't appeal to anyone without a working knowledge of the American hardcore canon.
While it may not stand up to the rest of Hatebreed's canon, it does a great job of promoting some smaller acts that the average fan may not be aware of, and is a must-have for those antsy for new material.

- - What patterns do you see?
What patterns do you see? Below are pictures of two of our horses that I would love some feedback on. The first is our new 2011 APHA colt and the second is of our 2008 AQHA/APHA filly that we just bought and will be coming home to us shortly :D Our colt is a frame but does he carry the splash gene as well? Our filly is the toughest. She is an outcrop and is by two AQHA parents but is dual registered. She's showing overo markings but what type(s)? I see possible frame, frame/splash and/or sabino. The possible sabino markings are tough to see but you can sort of see what I'm talking about on the picture of her as a three year old. I wish I had more pictures to post but these are all I have right now. I know her breeder very well and have requested more but I haven't received them yet. 2011 APHA colt - AKA Austin http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/...ry52012116.jpg http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/...ry52012170.jpg 2008 AQHA/APHA filly - AKA Holly Yearling picture http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/...y-yearling.jpg Yearling picture #2 http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/...-yearling2.jpg Three year old picture (sabino markings?) http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/...ly3yearold.jpg |
932 Attachment(s) Whew, nice looking babies there! The colt, I agree for frame overo. He very well could have splash, there is a test out now for that if you want to know for sure. The filly, I see sabino and splash. The splash I see is going underneath her jaw. And the legs. The legs can also be caused by sabino, see the speckles where the white and brown mix together? And that spot along her left side speaks sabino to me. And the larger spot on the right speaks splash. :-/ |
932 Attachment(s) Oh by the way, can I have them both? LMAO! |
[QUOTE=CLaPorte432;1349392]Whew, nice looking babies there! Thanks CLaPorte432!! We love them both! Our little colt is our show prospect and he can't grow up fast enough, lol! I felt the same way about the sabino markings on our filly with the "speckles" on her left side. I also thought splash from the right side marking, tall stockings and her face. It's nice to know others see the same thing :-) You don't see possible frame? As for the splash, I heard about the new test (on here of course, lol!) and we plan on getting him tested for that as well as to make sure he's not a lethal white carrier. Not that we're planning on breeding him at this time but it's better safe than sorry :wink: As for your question "can I have them both", sorry, they're not for sale, lol!! :lol: |
All frame overos carry lethal white. Frame in its homozygous state is lethal. Posted via Mobile Device |
I can guarantee you that foal is a LWO carrier. Frame is LWO. One copy of Frame is completely harmless. Two copies is what's lethal. If you bred him for whatever reason, make sure the mare isn't a Frame carrier. Also definitely splash. Probably sabino also. The filly is splash and I'm going to guess sabino based on how jagged the edges of her white spots are. However, I would probably test her for Frame just to be safe because it can hide. |
932 Attachment(s) There is always the possibility for frame. So definitely test them both. My apha mare only has white on her face and belly markings like your girl (little on one side and a hand sized spot on other side) and to ankle socks and she is a frame carrier. So until you know for sure that they are or arent frame carriers, think of them as a frame carrier just to be safe. And dangit, i was hoping to snatch one of those lovelies from you. :-) Posted via Mobile Device |
No worries everyone, I already stated that he would be tested to see if he was a lethal white carrier :-) "Not that we're planning on breeding him but it's better safe than sorry" |
Don't waste your money testing the colt for Frame. He is. The filly, however, I would test. CLaPorte - My mare doesn't even have that much. One hind pastern white, a large blaze, and a very little, maybe quarter sized white spot near her elbow and she's N/O. ETA: Lethal white isn't a disease they develop over time. It's just a mutation within the gene that causes a malformed digestive tract when homozygous. You have nothing to worry about with the colt. :) |
I agree with previous posters. Frame and splash most definitely on the little boy. He has to have something more than frame, as frame doesn't like leg white. Sabino and splash, no frame, for the filly. Again, it's the high leg white telling me she doesn't have frame. HOWEVER - she should still be tested before breeding her at all ever. |
