(2) The controlling producer shall render accounts to the controlled insurer detailing all material transactions, including information necessary to support all commissions, charges and other fees received by, or owing to, the controlling producer;
(3) The controlling producer shall remit all funds due under the terms of the contract to the controlled insurer on at least a monthly basis.

The rates of the commissions, charges and other fees may be no greater than those applicable to comparable business placed with the controlled insurer by producers other than controlling producers. For purposes of this subdivision and subdivision (7) of this subsection, examples of "comparable business" includes the same lines of insurance, same kinds of insurance, same kinds of risks, similar policy limits and similar quality of business;
(9) If the contract provides that the controlling producer, on insurance business placed with the insurer, is to be compensated contingent upon the insurer's profits on that business, then the compensation may not be determined and paid until at least five years after the premiums on liability insurance are earned and at least one year after the premiums are earned on any other insurance. In no event may the commissions be paid until the adequacy of the controlled insurer's reserves on remaining claims has been independently verified pursuant to subdivision (1), subsection (d) of this section;
(10) A limit on the controlling producer's writings in relation to the controlled insurer's surplus and total writings.

(c) Every controlled insurer shall have an audit committee of the board of directors composed of independent directors. The audit committee shall annually meet with management, the insurer's independent certified public accountants, and an independent casualty actuary or other independent loss reserve specialist acceptable to the commissioner to review the adequacy of the insurer's loss reserves.
(d) In addition to any other required loss reserve certification, the controlled insurer shall annually, on the first day of April of each year, file with the commissioner the following:
(1) An opinion of an independent casualty actuary or any other independent loss reserve specialist acceptable to the commissioner, reporting loss ratios for each line of business written and attesting to the adequacy of loss reserves established for losses incurred and outstanding as of year-end, including incurred but not reported losses, on business placed by the producer; and
(2) A report and summary of the amount of commissions paid to the producer, the percentage such amount represents of the net premiums written and comparable amounts and percentage paid to noncontrolling producers for placements of the same kinds of insurance.

Employer Shared Responsibility for Healthcare…a/k/a Play or Pay
Beginning January 2014, employers that generally employ 50 or more full-time or full-time employee equivalents will be subject to the Affordable Care Act provision known as Employer Shared Responsibility. If an employer does not employ, on average, more than 50 full-time or full-time employee equivalents, then the employer is not subject, at this time, to the Employer Shared Responsibility provision. Currently, full-time status is defined as an employee working, on average, 30 hours per week. Employers can determine whether they meet the large employer threshold for January 1, 2014 by using applicable information from 2013. Very important, if two or more companies have common ownership, then the companies will be combined for purposes of determining if they are subject to the Employer Shared Responsibility provision. The aforementioned provision applies to all employers, including non-profits and government employers.
The above provision states that employers with 50 or more full-time employees or full-time equivalents must offer group health benefits to the employee and their dependents (not spouses) or pay a penalty. Additionally, the provision states that the coverage must meet minimum essential benefits and also be affordable. For the plan to be deemed affordable, the employee's portion of the single premium cannot exceed 9.5% of the employee's household income. In order for the health plan to provide minimum value, the plan must cover at least 60% of the employee's costs.
Penalties associated with the Employer Shared Responsibility provision are either $2000 or $3000 annually per full time employee. The penalty amount depends on the circumstances as to whether the employer offers qualifying health coverage or not and whether the coverage is affordable.
There are many useful tools to help in understanding Healthcare Reform. Feel free to view the tools provided by us or any other information provided by the various resources available. For your convenience we have provided you with a link to a flowchart illustration of the Employer Shared Responsibility provision provided by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Artificial Pancreas Could Replace Insulin Injections: Scientists
Human tests of an artificial pancreas are set to begin in 2016 and the first implants could take place within a decade, according to British scientists.
They said the wristwatch-sized device is surgically implanted in the abdomen and releases insulin into the bloodstream, and could make insulin injections a thing of the past for people with diabetes, Britain's Daily Mailreported.
The insulin supply in the first-of-a-kind implant is controlled by a gel barrier. When a user's blood sugar levels rise, the gel liquefies and releases the insulin. When sugar levels drop, the gel hardens again. Insulin is added to the device's reservoir every two weeks.
The device is the next best thing to a cure for diabetes because patients no longer have to manage the condition themselves, according to the development team at De Montfort University in Leicester.
"The device will not only remove the need to manually inject insulin, but will also ensure that perfect doses are administrated each and every time," said Joan Taylor, professor of pharmacy, the Daily Mailreported. "By controlling blood glucose so effectively, we should be able to help reduce related health problems."
The researchers said the implant could help all people with type 1 diabetes and those with type 2 diabetes who require insulin injections.
"This device is cheap and simple to use," Taylor said. "It has the potential to bring an end to the misery of daily injections for diabetics."
Less Educational Content in Kids' Screen Time as They Age
As children get older, their use of educational resources on television and other electronic devices decreases, according to a new study.
Researchers surveyed nearly 1,600 parents and found that what might be considered educational material accounted for less than half of the screen time among youngsters ages 2 to 10. Most of that screen time involved television, The New York Timesreported.
The poll also revealed that while children's screen time increases as they get older, there is a decrease in the amount of educational content, according to the researchers at the nonprofit Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a research institute affiliated with the Sesame Workshop.
The survey found that 2- to 4-year-olds had just over two hours a day of screen time, including one hour and 16 minutes of educational content, while children ages 8-10 had more than two and a half hours a day of screen time, but only 42 minutes of that was regarded as educational, The Timesreported.
Family income appeared to have an effect. Children in households earning less than $25,000 spent 57 percent of their screen time on educational activities, compared with 38 percent of children in families earning $50,000 to $99,000.
Weight May Reduce Effectiveness of Morning-After Pills
European health officials are reviewing morning-after emergency contraceptives to determine if they're less effective in overweight women.
The European Medicines Agency said Friday that it would evaluate new data suggesting that the effectiveness of morning-after pills could be reduced in heavier women. There is no timeline on when the review will be completed, the Associated Pressreported.
"We need to find out what the association is with (body mass index) and if there is a cut-off threshold for when the medicine becomes less effective," agency spokeswoman Monika Benstetter said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said late last year that it was studying the issue.
In November, HRA Pharma of France revealed that its morning-after pill Norvelo was less effective in women who weighed more than 165 pounds and did not work in women who weighed more than 176 pounds. The company changed its labels to warn patients, the APreported.
Norvelo contains the same active ingredient -- levonorgestrel -- as other emergency contraceptives such as ellaOne, Levonnelle and Levodonna.

Watch this, skip that
"Hannibal" 10 p.m. Thursday, NBC Television long has had a creepy love affair with serial killers, but never more so than now. Tonight, Hannibal Lecter joins Joe Carroll, Red John and the endless stream of loonies on "Criminal Minds."
The supervillain from Thomas Harris' "The Silence of the Lambs" appears here in much younger form, as the fictional time period of this series predates even the earlier Harris novel "Red Dragon."
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to see "Hannibal" yet. Those who have are mixed in their opinions, which range from "brilliant" to "doesn't quite work." But given the story's pedigree and the presence of executive producer Bryan Fuller, I'll give it a chance.
"Academy of Country Music Awards" 8 p.m. Sunday, CBS I can't imagine caring who wins any of these awards, but they aren't the reason to tune in. The live performances draw us, and this year's lineup seems strong, despite the obligatory inclusion of Taylor Swift. This year's lineup includes Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, George Strait and the Band Perry
"Mad Men" 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC The most thoughtful and provocative drama on television at the moment – and perhaps ever – returns for its sixth season. As the show moves into the late 1960s, the ties will get wider and the sport coats louder, but the stories will remain intense and dark. After Sunday's two-hour kickoff, "Mad Men" settles in at 10 p.m.
"Men at Work" 10 p.m. Thursday, TBS There seems to be a surfeit of sitcoms about young, hip-but-goofy guys doing hip-but-goofy things. "Men at Work," which begins its second season tonight, is one of them.
"Smash" 9 p.m. Saturday, NBC A sad example of how not to fix a show, "Smash" moves to Saturdays, presumably to live out the remainder of its short days. The musical drama began well enough last year but soon lost its way. Everyone seemed to agree on the problems: overly broad drama, underdeveloped characters. NBC vowed to fix them, but when the curtain rose on Act Two, some faces had changed but the troubles remained.

A Talavera tile from our Alhambra Series, it is hand-painted mostly in a cream/sanded background. It has a very vivid green circle in the middle, with four blue cobalt petals-like around it and a terracotta/yellow flower on each of them. A picture is worth thousand words, just check it out! Some relief is shown on the tile because the amount of glaze placed before the firing process, this creates a 3D effect on the tile when the glaze is embossed out as heats up. This tile can be used as a complimentary background tile in any wall or horizontal surface, as shown in one of the pictures. The tile is handpainted, this means that no two tiles are exactly alike! There might be small differences in size, weight and even the painting. If you want to enhance that little spot in your wall, pool or any indoors/outdoors space, this is what you are looking for! In the additional pictures this tile is shown as an accent inside the Adobe Talavera Clay Tile.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
I said yesterday that there has been a change in the way people view Apple - not the way you think. This change is a surprising one. They are becoming more optimistic about the company.
It looks as though the optimism could be misplaced in the short term as the share price continues to decline- we'll know more tomorrow but commentators are lining up for a bloodbath around Apple on earnings day.
The pessimism is, however, over done and over the past month people have begun to realize that and give voice to more optimism.
The three charts below reflect three sentiments, in fact. Joy, Optimism and Trust. They are all measures of the trend in those sentiments, online, as they relate to Apple. The data is drawn from blogs, analyst reports and news sites (the data is courtesy of Marketpsychdata, a firm that supplies sentiment data into Wall St).
You'll see these critical sentiments have all turned in Apple's favor, though the past two days have put pressure on them, too.
I suspect the reasons for the turnaround in sentiment are the rumors of an iWatch, an iTV or a wrap around phone. People are willing Apple to create something new and are confident and trusting that they will.
It's also a reflection of a cyclical sentiment, but perhaps also a sense that Apple had gone too high too fast, and that it is now reaching a level where it can be viewed as a value stock with very strong fundamentals. The rapid rise and fall could help stabilize Apple over the long term as sentiment makes its way back in to positive territory.
Of course in the meantime, tomorrow's earnings could trigger a sell-off. There is a lot of fear around the brand right now.
Investing is a counter cyclical game. If all you ever do is follow then the chances are you are going to lose. So it should be no surprise either to see that there is a countervailing trend to all the pessimism that is being voiced about Apple.
On the other hand, Apple has been rewarding its executives handsomely while losing an incredible 50% of its value. But as Gene Marcial points out here on Forbes:
The Street's bullish stance is astonishing considering that some $290 billion of Apple's market value has been wiped out in just six months. Of the 37 analysts from major securities firms who follow Apple, none has downgraded the stock to a sell, according to available data from MSN.com. But 25 of them still recommend the stock as a "strong buy" and six others rate it as "moderate buy." Another six Apple watchers rate the stock as a hold.
Apple pessimism is clearly overdone. But that may not change what happens tomorrow.

Synopsis: Unlikely partners
Although superconductivity and magnetism are inherently competing orders, there exist materials that can host both simultaneously, such as heavy fermion systems, some cuprate superconductors, and the newly discovered pnictide superconductors. An example of such a system is the much studied heavy fermion system . Application of a magnetic field in its superconducting state can drastically affect superconductivity and can also induce magnetic order, depending on the strength of the field and the temperature.
In the latest issue of Physical Review Letters, Georgios Koutroulakis and collaborators from Brown University in the US and the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses in Grenoble, France, report a detailed low-temperature NMR investigation of the phase diagram of . They find that the magnetic order induced at high fields is an incommensurate spin-density wave, which likely coexists with a so-called Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase—a superconducting state with a spatially modulated order parameter. They also discover a new phase lying between the incommensurate spin-density wave state and the low-field ordinary superconductivity; they conjecture that it is a different kind of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase. – Alex Klironomos

Happy MPM folks! A day late, but there is nothing short of excellence in this week's roundup. The dedication to pizza in this group is pretty hardcore. I'm talking vigilante-flour-smuggling-across-borders hardcore. And beyond that there are new hyrbrids cropping up, like dmcavanaugh's Sfincillian, some kitchen chemistry from the first lady of pizza experiments, Ms. Norma427, and the topping ingenuity that we have come to expect from amusebouche1. Girl Loves Pizza shows a simpler, and equally delicious side, to her pizza making and Jimmyg gets back to his New York roots after his hiatus into Bonci-landia.

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- In a 3 quart saucepan, bring water, salt, and potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat.

Recent GLAAD Media Award honoree Tom Ford is making a move from cutting fabric to cutting film. That's right: Ford is making his directorial debut
with an adapted screenplay of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, A Single Man.
E! Online's Mark Malkin broke the story this morning, revealing that Colin Firth is in talks to star as a gay college professor who deals with the sudden death of his lover.
The fabulous Julianne Moore will play the professor's friend who helps him deal with the death, while Jamie Bell has signed for the student role. The story takes place in 1962 in Los Angeles.
Ford plans to begin filming in L.A. in November.

Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU) had a loss and missed Wall Street's expectations, BUT beat the revenue expectation. The revenue beat is a positive sign to shareholders seeking high growth out of the company. Shares are down 1.5%.
Prudential Financial, Inc. Earnings Cheat Sheet
Results: Net loss was $232 million (Operating profit, which excludes the results of policies sold before the firm went public and some investments, was $1.69.) in the quarter versus a net gain of $686 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Revenue: Rose 292.58% to $45.91 billion from the year-earlier quarter.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Prudential Financial, Inc. reported adjusted net income of $1.69 per share. By that measure, the company missed the mean analyst estimate of $1.74. It beat the average revenue estimate of $12.86 billion.
Quoting Management: "We are pleased with the progress we've made over the past year toward achievement of our longer term objectives. We are continuing to benefit from strong business momentum, with a growing base of quality business driven by solid sales and flows. We surpassed significant milestones during the year, including $1 trillion of assets under management, over $400 billion of account values in our Retirement and Annuities businesses, and annualized new business premiums of over $4 billion in International Insurance. We've strengthened our U.S. businesses with the completion of two major ground breaking pension risk transfer transactions in the fourth quarter, building a leadership position in an attractive market well suited to our proficiencies. These transactions speak to our capabilities, our culture of multi-discipline collaboration, and our financial strength. Our acquisition of The Hartford's individual life insurance business, which was completed early this year, is also expected to provide financial and strategic benefits. Our International Insurance business continues to perform well, with results benefiting from growth in multiple distribution channels and our achievement of cost synergies consistent with our goals through the successful integration of the acquired Star and Edison businesses. Our unique business mix, the quality of the businesses that make up that mix, and the talent of our people support our prospects for achievement of strong returns consistent with our targets as well as continued growth," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Strangfeld.

I have created a number projects which I have placed in a folder on a corporate network so they can be shared among team members.
When I open an sdc file, it works fine, but when a teammate does the same, and press the "Compare Now" button, they receive an error about "Registering databases" and "Reading constraints".
They have the same access to the database that I have, so that is not the problem.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Re: Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie
Well, I guess since Wes and bad_fish rely so much on mathematical equations there is just no need for the high end. Guess companies like Levinson, Krell, Mcintosh, Ayre, Dynaudio, Bryston, Meridian...etc just may as well pack 'er up and call 'er good. Basically they are saying that if a Levinson amp "specs" out the same as an amp/receiver costing 1/10th the price...why buy the Levinson? Math says it won't sound better. If Dynaudio can't build a better speaker than Polk because the math don't say so why buy Dynaudio? It appears that alot of companies will be out of business soon due to "math". Again, the math/science angle is such a cop out. Stop using it as an excuse to cheap out on your systems.
Cables are really no different than the components in your system but to a lesser extent and are VERY relative to the equipment you use. Whether that's an $800 "discrete" receiver or whatever... Why not go a step further? Why don't you guys use 18g bare wire for your system? I'll bet there is 18g out there somewhere that "specs" out the same as your cheap Canare or Bettercables... Oh right...you're not "bias" use your ears please. |

I'm a huge fan of travel and friendship/family as well. But my system will never suffer for it. Your system is as only good as it's weakest link. You want to willingly put that link in your system because of math...have at 'er. |

Re: Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie
For all the forum members who think they know and understand how the human nervous system responds to outside stimuli, especially sight, sound, and smell in different individuals try this experiment.
Which would you choose for a date? A sighted person would surely choose the woman over the fish. But what about a blind man with a different interpretation of his senses? The same goes for cables, if you think their right for you depending on what you see, hear, or smell, go for it but don't criticize others for what they perceive is better due to their own sensory system! Arguing about cables is as idiotic as this post. |

Re: Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie
Not trying to be critical, just helpful. I was once on the "wire is wire" side of the fence but had the ability to see reason when it cam to R&D, quality, the basic overall "change" of sound and fidelity when better cables were applied. Hey, if these guys are happy with cheap wire...good on 'em. If I could help someone get to the next level well, I think that would be great too. Please try to be a little more mature in your next post. Next forum please... |

Re: Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie
That's a complete red herring arguement. Even two amps from the same manufacturer won't spec out the same. You are talking about the difference between a piece of shielded wire and hundreds of electronic components on a circuit board connected together to reproduce sound. Just because two blank pieces of paper are capable of displaying the same information doesn't mean that every book in the world is the same. Paper carries the message, just like wire. The printer actually makes the book, just like components. Don't assume that because I understand the differences in cables that I am trying to "cheap out" on my system. I just understand where the cost is justified. |

Thanks I was curious if it would make the video look to long and distorted. How close can it be to the wall to make it show up perfect? In your opinion what do you think is the best one. I think we are going with the criminal one and nurse one.
Hi-Rez Designs are great! We had to purchase a commercial license for use inside our attraction. On their website it says if you are part of a pro or paid attraction you need a commercial license as well. I would contact them through their website for more info: www.hi-rezdesigns.com
Best of luck this year!
Hey DeadEnd,
Long time no talk... We are actually dealers of Hi-Rez and will be happy to sell you a license. Just let us know!

Policy & Politics Minnesota GOP: Let Parents Know When Kids Seek CareApril 21, 2011 If a new Republican-backed proposal passes the Legislature, Minnesota would become the only state to prevent minors from seeking STD services without parental approval, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Sen. David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) is sponsoring the measure, which would require parental consent for minors seeking treatment for STDs, pregnancy, or drug or alcohol abuse. The state's current, 40-year-old law prevents doctors from disclosing medical information to parents unless the patient agrees or the condition is life-threatening. Under the proposal, parents could also access their children's medical records. "It seems if you talk to any parent, most would assume they have the right to know about the medical condition of their child," said Hann. "I think it's a surprise to find out that we don't." Aggie Leitheiser, assistant commissioner for the Minnesota Department of Health, said the bill could lead to higher rates of STDs, unintended pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, premature births or other complications, and long-term health problems from untreated conditions -- thereby driving up health care costs. The bill was approved by a Senate committee but lacks a companion House measure, making passage unlikely.

Storage: Stable in lyophilized state at 4°C for 1 year after receipt. Sterile stock solutions reconstituted with carrier protein are stable at 4°C for 2 months and at -20°C for 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.Maintain sterility. Storage at -20°C should be in a manual defrost freezer.Background
EGF is produced by epithelial cells, fibroblasts and many other cell types (1,2). Low molecular weight soluble EGF is generated through proteolysis of a larger ~130,000 molecular weight transmembrane precursor (1,2). Both soluble and membrane forms of EGF are active (2). EGF induces proliferation, differentiation, and survival of many cell types including tumor-derived cells (1,2, 3). There are multiple members of the EGF family and multiple members of the Erb/Her EGF receptor family. EGF binds to ErbB1/HER1 and induces homodimerization or induces heterodimerization with other Erb/Her members (1). Binding of EGF signals through the MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and STAT 5 pathways (1). EGF, EGF family members, EGF receptors and their signaling pathways are involved in many cancers and are targets for therapeutic intervention (1, 2).

- - "Utter Gunk"?
"Utter Gunk"? I adopted a BLM mustang recently, from a neighbor who purchased her from an auction. She is about 4 yrs old. I have bathed twice before, first two bathes of her life. I was bathing her today and noticed thick gunk, like a moist black/brown tar-like substance, not sure how else to explain it, between her utters. It does come off but did not want to start scrubbing and pulling it off before I asked for some advice. Is this ok to remove, is it a normal build up after 4 yrs w/o bathing? Thanks! |
thats totally normal, and yes remove it. its just dirt and other crap built up between them and she will be much more comfortable if you remove it : ) |
I don't know about your mare's business. But my new gelding came to me with a sheath so dirty people thought he had a load of grain stuck to his penis. And of course it had to be cleaned since his favourite thing is letting ol' mellow yellow hang loose (don't worry I'd have cleaned it anyhoo). lol. Good luck with your spring cleaning. It does sound like just build-up but I'm not 100% sure, and other people's advice on this subject would be much more sound. |
Yes, it's normal, and yes you should bathe her and remove it. Proceed cautiously, as some mares like the procedure about as much as geldings like having their sheaths cleaned. Have someone hold her for you, or do a little at a time. |
Thanks for the responses, appreciate it! Will be time for another bath very soon. |
If you want to make it easier on yourself make it a part of your normal grooming routine. I wipe out my old mare's udder at least once a week that way it never gets really nasty. |
The Excalibur wash for geldings and studs "Semi Annual Weenie Wash Day" works great for udder smegma too. Once you get the smegma off, you can just use a baby wipe weekly to polish up her tatas. =) |
You may get lucky and have a girl who likes it. Both our girls really enjoy having their udders cleaned, dirty girls (lol) |
My mare also like having her udders cleaned. Congrats on the new mustang. They are great steeds. =) |
This is quite an entertaining thread...lol My palomino mare does not mind having her udder cleaned, but my little red head is a different story! She will need some work. |

Thanks again Ray |
your limited when trying to post pics directly to the site due to bandwidth, or something of the sorts. i tried to do it before and mine wouldn't even load due to pixels in the camera settings. at photobucket you can post huge pics and it doesn't limit the pics and how large they can be on this site, but if you try to load directly on this site it will either limit the size or not even load at all. photobucket is free and easy to set up. just need an email addy and follow the link and all that crap.
Tried the photo bucket thing...took me almost an hour, damn I feel like an idiot, here is a photo bucket URL of the picture I tired to download here, it's expanded so it shows that it can be more than a thumb nail picture, I clicked and dragged about 8 or 10 pictures...I hope this works.

As far as posting pictures and videos, check this out widetrack, Jon put it together: How to post pictures and videos on Hotrodders.com BTW, HTML has nothing to do with pictures. Jpegs, Mpegs etc. are what you need to deal with. You need to re-size pictures to go under the 3KB size limit for each picture. You can re-size pictures with the software that came with your camera.

Thanks Guys
I've made up my mind, I'm going to get the hang of this whole picture posting thing. Dan...Thanks for the link to what Jon posted...I've been busy today but will go through it step by step...when I get a bit more time. Brian...the picture you posted was the one that I was trying to post...thanks..I had to get it done in California...LOL...That's what the Orange truck looked like before I put the transparent Orange over top. I wanted to post that in the custom painting thread...How do I do that? LOL Malc...I feel better after you posted that it might be Photo bucket and not me...I know it's me...the check is in the mail anyway. Well, I spent a few hours trying to learn how to post pictures and this is the closest I've come. I actually got the bolt cutters off of my Avatar...that's a start. As I mentioned in a previous post, the information seminar on using an English Wheel was well received and did have a few surprises. We had 29 people the first night and 30 the second. I told them that there where people that could do amazing things with an English Wheel (as well as other tools) and that I, by no means claimed to be an expert. I made it very clear to everyone that attended that this wasn't going to be an in-depth course and that it was going to be a "how to" session using basics. I started off by explaining how metal reacts under different conditions and demonstrated on a 12 X 12 piece of 24 gauge sheet metal showing how putting it through the English Wheel gives different curves in the metal. I used several different Wheels (anvils) to show the different patterns that it made, proper tracking techniques, overlap and explained how these patterns would be used in forming metal to get the correct multiple curves needed out of a standard piece of sheet metal. I answered a few questions and that took us to the break. During the break, a fellow came up to me and complimented me on explaining things in terms that where easy to understand (I thought to myself...that's the only way I know how to explain...LOL) I talked to him for a few minutes and finally asked what kind of car he had and he told me, he had a 28 Essex Coupe. I asked what he did for a living and he told me...he had been a machinist for the past 36 years. I swallowed hard and asked "why would you come to this information seminar?" He told me that he hadn't used lead in so many years that he had forgotten what he did know and wanted a refresher course but, if I thought it would help, he could bring in some sample pieces he had made on the English Wheel for the next evening. I told him absolutely. The rest of the first evening was spent answering questions while the people where watching the pre-made repair panel being welded in. I was actually surprised how many people thought that welding a panel would be done in one continuous weld and a lot of time was explaining why the welds where moved around to avoid warping the panel. Everybody got to run their metal through the wheel and then they broke off into groups of six and proceeded to butt weld 2 pieces of metal together and for the most part, warp the panels beyond recognition when they first started...LOL. My new found Machinist College and I showed them how to straighten it out and weld in a more metal friendly manner. I got out of there real late. The following evening, the welds on the old Buick where dressed, with fans going and bay doors open we started leading, explaining cleanliness, tinning, leading and then working the lead. I think we used about 90% to 95% less lead than would have originally been used. Some people tried it but most people just wanted to watch and ask questions. Then the machinist brought in some samples of what could be done on an English Wheel and brought a straight piece of aluminum with him, in minutes that piece of aluminum was formed, shaped and perfect, one side to the other. I found it amazing how fast this artisan could mold metal, I understand why he brought aluminum and he admitted that it was easier to form but what he did in a short time would have taken me hours...if I could have done it at all. I was honored that he made an appearance let alone showed what could be done...and yes, I got it on video. The two evenings where a success, thanks in a big way to my surprise machinist guest. My good friend now has a proper repair done on his car, many more people in the hobby have a better understanding of what it takes to restore a vehicle and I think I made a great contact that I can learn from and may have an Essex to paint in the future. So, all in all, I would do it again, even though it put me behind a bit in my schedule. Over the next few days, with help of another member of the club running the camera, I hope to edited the video from just over 7 hours of footage to about 15 minutes...I'll be the guy with the goatee standing beside the guy that, as Randy put it, knows a few tricks on the English Wheel. Ray |
OKAY...I left my reading glasses at the thing last night and went out half way through this post and bought a new pair...Now that I can see things close up again, I have no idea what that picture is on my Avatar nor did I ever take a picture of anything like that...I think I like the bolt cutters better...LOL and still don't know how I got those cutters up there.
Can't wait to see it.... I won't say to much anymore...accused of being a nay sayer here for trying to help someone here...(Not on this thread) Funny how they come here asking for help, And I come to help others,,, I give my time here,,,,, But it's all good,, So I guess I'll just go back to posting pictures.. Good job Mr.Ray.. Keep up the good work.. |
That does sound like the evening went great - very happy that worked out for you and your buddy. I have watched a couple of videos of Ron Covell, and have considered trying to take one or more of his metalworking classes. It is amazing what a skilled craftsman can do with an English wheel. Can't wait to see you video!

What is the procedure for one who must eat on Yom Kippur?
General Information:
One who is required to eat on Yom Kippur1 due to medical reasons, should not attempt to fast against the doctor's orders. The same Torah which commands us to fast on Yom Kippur tells us that guarding our health is far more important than fasting on this holy day. Just as a healthy person fulfills a mitzvah by fasting; an ill person does a mitzvah by eating.2
A rabbi should be consulted in advance to receive specific dispensation from fasting. However, in case of a medical emergency, or even if there is any question whether the condition is a medical emergency or not, the patient should be given food or medicine immediately.
A person who is required to eat or drink due to illness, but afterwards feels strong enough to fast, must resume fasting.
One who is weak and can only fast if he remains in bed all day, should not attempt to go to synagogue or pray, rather he should fast and remain in bed. Attending synagogue and/or praying are of secondary importance in comparison to the biblical obligation to fast.
Eating Procedure:
According to the Torah, one is only "culpable" when eating at least 1.26 ounces3 of food, or drinking at least a cheekful of liquid, within a short period of time.4 If possible, the ill person who must break the fast should eat and drink less than the abovementioned amount at intermittent intervals. Preferably, one should wait nine minutes between these snacks. Obviously, if the medical condition does not allow for this intermittent snacking, the patient must follow the doctor's orders.
In an ancient Machzor (High Holiday prayerbook), it is suggested for an ill person to recite the following prayer before partaking of food on Yom Kippur:
Behold I am prepared to fulfill the mitzvah of eating and drinking on Yom Kippur, as You have written in Your Torah:5 "You shall observe My statutes and My ordinances, which a man shall do and live by them. I am the L-rd." In the merit of fulfilling this mitzvah, seal me, and all the ill of Your nation Israel, for a complete recovery. May I merit next Yom Kippur to once again fulfill [the mitzvah of] "you shall afflict yourselves [on Yom Kippur]."6May this be Your will. Amen.
Technical Considerations:
When one is required to eat, no Kiddush is recited on Yom Kippur. (This applies even when Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat.)
Before eating bread one must wash hands as is done throughout the year. There is no need to have two complete challahs, as is required on all other festivals.
There is a difference of opinion whether the holiday ya'aleh viyavo is reciting during the Grace after Meals.
Pregnant or nursing women -- who are exempt from fasting on all other public fast days (with the exception of Tisha b'Av) -- must fast on Yom Kippur. A rabbi should be consulted if extenuating circumstances exist.
Similarly, one who has no strength to pray on Yom Kippur need not be upset. The chazzan's prayers cover for all those who cannot pray due to circumstances that are beyond their control.
2/3 of the Talmudic measurement called "k'beitzah".
It is biblically forbidden to eat or drink even less than this amount, but such an offense is not punishable by Torah law.
"However, in case of a medical emergency, or even if there is any question whether the condition is a medical emergency or not, the patient should be given food or medicine immediately."
for Chabad.org
Jerusalem, IL
You are commanded to fast only if it won't kill you.
If fasting would kill you, then you are commanded not to fast, so there is no conflict, and you do not need to ask forgiveness for not fasting.
On the other hand, if you are commanded not to fast, but do it any way, then you have to ask forgiveness for the sin of suicide.

I am Diabetic. Yes, I do fast. Have been since the age of 12. I do feel 'fuzzy headed' sometimes, due to being Diabetic. I go outside of Shul and get some air. My Rabbi told me, prior to Yom Kippur, when I told him I was Diabetic a few years back, to get some Orange Juice if need be. So far, I have been able to shake off. We all have to do what we feel we can. To me it is important to fast on this day.
Shana Tova to one and all.

Despite reporting better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter last week, shares of Pandora (NYSE:P) plunged as investors were unable to tune-out a reduced outlook.
How Good Are the Earnings?
The Internet-radio company reported net earnings of $2.1 million (1 cent per share), compared to $661,000 or break-even a year earlier. Adjusted earnings, which exclude stock-based compensation, more than doubled to 5 cents a share, easily beating estimates for just 1 cent per share. Revenue surged 60 percent to $120 million, compared to $75 million in last year's third quarter. Wall Street had expected revenue of about $117 million.
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
"This quarter exceeded our expectations as we monetized mobile at record levels and grew total mobile revenue 112 percent," stated Joe Kennedy, chairman and chief executive officer of Pandora. "During the quarter we launched Pandora 4.0, the biggest redesign on the iOS (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Android (NASDAQ:GOOG) platforms ever, bringing new, innovative and enhanced functionality to mobile devices for the first time for both users and advertisers." Pandora says mobile users now represent 77 percent of listener hours.
How Bad is the Outlook?
The upbeat third quarter results fell on deaf ears. Pandora surprised investors by predicting an adjusted loss between 6 cents and 9 cents per share for the fourth quarter, which extends through January.
