Miner Elastomer Products Corporation Suspension and Shovel Components for the Mining Industry
Miner Elastomer Products is a manufacturer of high-quality suspension and shovel components for the mining industry. These haul truck suspensions and shovel components use TecsPak® technology as the basis for significant improvement in product lifecycle and lower cost of operation. TecsPak is a proven energy-absorbing material designed to meet demanding performance requirements in an array of applications.
Suspensions and shovel components for energy-absorption problems
Miner Elastomer Products has the manufacturing capabilities to develop suspensions and shovel components to customer specification or provide off-the-shelf products.
TecsPak suspensions and shovel components consistently solve energy absorption problems where other materials fail. Understanding customer requirements for lower cost of operation and improved product quality are the reason TecsPak suspensions and shovel components were developed.
Mining haul truck suspensions
Miner Elastomer Products has a selection of TecsPak haul truck suspensions available for various model trucks. TecsPak suspensions are built to replace the oil and nitrogen OEM suspensions. The TecsPak suspensions provide a superior ride in both the loaded and unloaded condition. These suspensions are designed to handle specific loads in all types of environment.
TecsPak suspensions are virtually maintenance free. There is no oil or nitrogen to refill and no seals to leak and replace, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance cost per hour of operation. Installation is as simple as removing the OE oil, nitrogen suspension and installing the TecsPak suspension.
All Miner Elastomer suspensions are designed to accept the OE load monitoring system already on the truck. No modification to the truck is necessary and standard off-the-shelf bearings are used in all TecsPak suspensions.
Heavy-duty shovel components for mining equipment
Miner Elastomer Products offers several heavy-duty TecsPak bucket door components that improve performance, reduce downtime and increase shovel output. TecsPak shovel components are designed to absorb maximum load capacities while reducing wear on steel components.
Shovel components consist of snubbers to replace steel bellville washers, bucket door bumpers to prevent steel-on-steel contact of the bucket door, latch bar bumpers, wear pads and boom bumper assemblies to prevent bucket damage to the main boom.
All Miner Elastomer Products heavy-duty shovel components are designed to reduce down time, increase productivity and lower operating cost.
Sucker rod shock absorbers
Miner Elastomer Products TecsPak sucker rod shock absorption solutions to enable oil pumping units to produce more oil while reducing the kilowatt requirements and easing the amp spikes when the weight changes velocity.
In addition, TecsPak sucker rod shock absorbers reduce the stresses on the rod string preventing separation and breakage. They are designed to absorb shock as the sucker rod is raised and lowered. The sucker rod cushions are mounted on top of the pumping unit's hanger bar.
TecsPak sucker rod sucker rod cushions are easily installed and require no maintenance, reducing downtime and increased productivity.
Gas well springs
Miner Elastomer Products gas well springs offer improved performance over the traditional steel coil springs found in most gas well lubricators. TecsPak gas well springs are not affected by well contaminants that are often found in deep gas wells.
Gas well springs are incorporated in the lubricator as a manual catcher mechanism, along with a bumper pad to absorb the shock of the plunger at the surface in the event it surfaces at a high velocity.
Traditional steel coil springs would often crack or chip leaving steel fragments in the well head, causing the well to be shut down for repairs and replacement of the spring. TecsPak gas well springs will not break or chip, extending the life of the well spring and increasing production.
Mining truck wheel chocks
Miner Elastomer Products mining truck wheel chocks are designed for the demanding requirements of the mining industry. Currently two sizes of wheel chocks are available with more under development.
The TecsPak wheel chocks are designed for over-the-road trucks and large mining haul trucks. Tough TecsPak wheel chocks are virtually indestructible and suited for all types of environments. All TecsPak wheel chocks are made from high-visibility orange TecsPak material.
The large wheel chock line is designed for mining haul truck applications. For 240t and larger haul trucks, a minimum of four wheel chocks are recommended. These chocks are strong, lightweight and crush-resistant. Individual chocks weigh in about 30lb and will not damage tires even if they are run over.
Note: TecsPak is the registered trade mark of Miner Enterprises.

The tenth house in an Indian horoscope or astrological chart indicates professions/Vocations/Occupations of a native. This indian horoscope chart also denotes position and prestige and the honour which one holds in society. A well placed tenth house is an indication that the person would be successful in his/her life. The nature of profession would depend upon not only on the strength of the ascendant, the Sun and the Moon. Another important factor which must be considered is if mercury is well placed, the person would belong to a learned profession, since mercury is the lord of intelligence and wisdom. If mercury and Moon are the weak in a Vedic horoscope chart, the native will not be firm in decision making and may not be suitable for jobs involving higher responsibility and critical analysis. If the lord of tenth house of online/vedic horoscope chart is placed in 6, 8, and 12th houses, the person's professional career would be subjected to vagaries of fortune, unless he takes to religion and the occult. If there is no planet posited in tenth house of a Vedic horoscope chart then Navamsha chart will indicate the vocation of a person.
Persons with sun placed in the tenth house or if the sun is exalted in the horoscope chart will be favoured to hold high government position. They could also be legal luminaries, Judges, lawyers and other belongings to Government or semi-government organizations. If Moon or Mercury receives the aspect of Saturn or Rahu, the person's path will be set with difficulties. A strong or well placed Saturn in the tenth house of a horoscope chart is a very favourable for the person's career. The Sun in the tenth house in a horoscope chart is also favourable for the person's career which will be smooth. If there are too many malefic planets are posited in the tenth house of a horoscope chart then it is explained by vedic astrologers that the person may experience series of set backs in his/her professional and business career.Rahu in the tenth house of horoscope chart will favour the native to acquire affluence and he/she will travel widely for the purpose of business or profession. If the tenth house lord is placed in the twelfth house, the native may work in a foreign country. The ruling planets at any particular time of a native's life would indicate the direction in which the travels will favour the native. If a business man wants to decide about his business, and is governed at a particular time by the operative period of the planet Sun and if The Sun is well placed in horoscope chart, then the person would be benefit if he enters into business relations with countries in the east. The Vedic planets have sway over various directions to decide career of a person. The tenth and eleventh houses of horoscope are connected with professional matters; business etc. still the whole horoscope must be analyzed scientifically before a Vedic or Indian astrologer passes his judgement on it.
The Sun is connected with Government jobs, semi government organization, state government jobs, law and judiciary, even where the individuals with a powerful sun in the tenth house are not in the employment of government, they will still be interacting with government in several ways, they may be either government contractors or commission agents, directly dealing with government or state agencies. If the Sun is placed with the lord of Ascendant, it indicates political career, but if The Sun is placed in his enemy's house, the individual must guard the advantages intelligently. But yet the native will enjoy ample opportunities to hold high position of authority, in the service of the people and the nation. Mobilization of energy and resources will help in the long run-In the case of politician, if Saturn, which is connected with the masses, is combust or debilitated for a greater success, he should be wise enough to counteract the planetary afflictions through remedial solutions or astral remedies, which includes Pooja, Homam and offering alms to the needy and the poor. While the sun is considered as a king in a planetary cabinet, Moon is considered as a queen. These Vedic or astrological Planets are termed as Royal planets.
If Jupiter is placed in the tenth house from the ascendant, it confers lot of wealth, power and respect among highest circles. Persons with prominent or exalted Jupiter in their birth charts would need lot of co-operation and help from one and all and they will pursue occupations or professions which will involve the patronage and good will of others and to acquire success.

Simple and genuine advice that counts
Looking for a care for yourself or a loved one can be a very emotional time.
You may be apprehensive that the time has come for you or your loved one to need specialist care, and have some misgivings about whether you are doing the right thing. That's a perfectly natural reaction and we understand that.We are here to help, and support anyone that needs it.
We aim to support residents and their families in any matters affecting their care needs.
Dementia Care Support
It's important for the home to adopt a lifestyle suited to the needs of a resident with a dementia. One of dementia's effects is that logical thinking slowly deteriorates, which means the resident must rely heavily on feelings and emotions. Bear this in mind when you walk into a home; if you don't feel at ease then someone with a dementia is unlikely to feel at home there. Individuals with a dementia tend to like to touch and feel things, and if a home is aware of this there will be objects of interest hanging on the walls or placed in the rooms. Having these items placed around the home sparks conversation and sometimes memories for the residents, and is also an effective calming tool.
- Memory loss
- Personality changes
- Confusion
- Loss of ability to carry out routine tasks
- Mood swings
We recommend the PayingForCare website www.payingforcare.org for all our clients and relatives. PayingForCare has been designed to help individuals make more informed decisions about the arrangements and funding for long-term care. The site is equally useful for powers of attorney, family members and friends. We highly advise that clients and relatives speak to an independent financial adviser, who will be able to advise you on the best options.

A study of 266 undergraduates showed higher grade point averages (GPA) among those who more often engaged in at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity-generally defined as effort of seven or eight on a scale of one to 10. (According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, those exercising moderately can talk but not sing, while vigorous activity makes it difficult to say more than a few words without pausing for breath.)
Though exercise advocates may not be surprised that those who are physically active tend to get better grades, researchers say this study involved older students than most.
"While the link between physical activity and academic achievement is well established for elementary and middle-school students, this has been less studied among college students," said Joshua Ode, Ph.D., who supervised the study. "We documented a positive association between vigorous activity and GPA."
Researchers, including Jennifer Flynn (then an undergraduate), also examined other factors that might correlate with GPA, including gender, race, study time, participation in university athletics, class standing and major (kinesiology/other).
"After accounting for these variables, vigorous physical activity was still associated with GPA," she said. The research team developed an equation that includes physical activity, gender and major to predict GPA. "Students who participate in vigorous activity seven days per week have GPAs that average .4 higher, on a scale of 4.0, than those who participate in no vigorous activity."
Noting the relatively small sample size, Ode and Flynn called for more research to further clarify associations between physical activity and academic achievement throughout one's college career. Meanwhile, said Ode, their findings reinforce what many experts already recommend-a daily dose of physical activity to reduce stress, improve performance and increase one's sense of well-being.

Kids are blessed untroubled and dynamic. When it's fun time, they do not treatment for anything even if their outfits get split, their arms get filthy or their locks gets screwed up! With children becoming a clutter by the end of the day, moms find it very difficult to treatment and design their locks. The process becomes more complicated for moms who have to deal with African-American locks, which are normally rough and weak, and easily get twisted. Luckily there are certain great African-American hair styles that would not only give their locks a nice look but also design it up in a stylish order.

As I go through Isaiah 53, I will highlight various words that appear elsewhere in the OT:
(53:4a) Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows
(11c) he shall bear their iniquities
(12c) yet he bore the sin of manySt Matthew (8:16-17) directly quotes verse 4a and applies it to Jesus healing the sick and casting out demons; it has nothing to do with Penal Substitution. The term "bore" (H5375) here also appears in verse 12c, and the term "carried" (H5445) also appears in verse 11c. What the parallel usage in 4a (and Mat 8:16f) shows is that the notion of 'bearing' need not be literal nor so called "imputation", but rather a way of simply saying 'takes away'.
(4b) yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
(7a) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted
Job 2:5 But stretch out your hand and touch his [Job's] bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.Many Protestants read 4b as saying people thought ("esteemed" H2803) Jesus was being punished for His own sins rather than ours, but that's a serious distortion and quite unwarranted. In fact, it ties back to 53:2-3, where it says the Jews "esteemed" (same word) Jesus as a nobody, and at the Cross thought was under God's displeasure because God didn't come to His rescue (cf. Mat 27:40-43) - though these folks were obviously jumping to erroneous conclusions. The term "esteemed" in Hebrew is very frequently used in reference to people "reckoning" evil thoughts or plans against others, or even down right mistaken (Gen 38:15; 1 Sam 1:13). The term for "stricken" (H5060) is also applied to Job (where the Devil challenges God to touch/strike down Job), as is the term for "smitten" (H5221, where Job states he was 'smitten by God'), and finally, the term "afflicted" (H6031, where Job states he was afflicted/humbled by God). Keep in mind that though the English words might be slightly different at times (depending on Bible translation), the color-coded Hebrew words are the same, and the context clearly is using the words the same way as well.
Job 19: 21 Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,
for the hand of God has touched me!
Job 30:11 God has loosed my cord and humbled me
(5) But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
(10) Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him
Job 6:9 that it would please God to crush meJob 5:17 blessed is the one whom God reproves; therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty
As with the previous verse, a similar theme emerges: The Hebrew terms "crushed" (H1792) and "chastisement" (H4148) are applied to Job. One important note here, some translations render the term "chastise" as "punishment," but this is inaccurate since the term refers to fatherly correction and not a judicial punishment (note how frequently the book of Proverbs uses the term!). With that in mind, while the term "stripes" (H2250) doesn't appear in Job, the reference to Proverbs above shows it can fit the 'chastise' concept as well.Prov 20:30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.
The term "laid" (H6293) in Hebrew means to "encounter, meet, make intercession," and this is how it's used in verse 53:12c. Taking into account the parallel in 12c, the notion that should be drawn from 6b is that the Servant took upon Himself the burden to correct the sins, and interceded (not substituted) to make atonement. Examples of intercession (again, not substitution) appear all over the OT, for example: Jer 15:1; 18:20; Num 25:10-13; Deut 9:16-20.(6b) the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all
(12c) he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors
Conclusion: The purpose of this brief exercise is to show that just because someone - in this case the Suffering Servant - is having pain inflicted upon them, even by God's decree, that this automatically entails God's Wrath must be upon the individual, for that is a serious logical fallacy. The prime example of this false assumption being soundly disproved is that Job is explicitly described as being "stricken," "smitten," "afflicted," etc, by God - yet the very lesson of the Book of Job is that God caused all this suffering to fall upon Job yet God's Wrath was never upon him. Why can it not be the same for the Only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ? This is not to put Jesus and Job on the same plane, God forbid, for their status and merits are without comparison. Rather, Job would be a foreshadowing of a more excellent Person, Jesus Himself, which is something the Early Church Fathers saw very clearly.
For more information on how Isaiah 53 is incompatible with Penal Substitution, see Section 3a of this Essay.

(JACKSON CO.) - A three-year program that has provided thousands of hours of community service and trained many workers in Jackson County has come to an end.
Jackson County United Way's AmeriCorps program did not receive a second round of funding due to the federal sequester, leaving fewer dollars available for the initiative, said United Way director Tonja Couch.
The Corporation for National and Community Service allocated $2.3 million to Indiana for such programs across the state this year; however, funding requests have exceeded $4.8 million, leaving 53 percent of requests unfunded.
Without AmeriCorps workers, many community agencies such as Boys & Girls Club of Seymour, Girls Inc. of Jackson County and Jackson County Public Library will have to cut programming and services, especially those targeting outlying areas of the county, or find other funding sources or use volunteer labor.

Every season knitters eagerly anticipate the new Rowan Knitting and Crochet Magazine, packed full of inspiring designs. Now launching its 60th magazine, rowan promises 43 designs which 'represent everything true to Rowan over the past 38 years'.
They have created this special video to give you a taster
With Noro you can always expect a feast of colour in every ball and hank, beautifully balanced and such fun to knit. This season the brand is launching Hakone, which they tell us 'perfectly balances the ideas of complement and contrast'. The main tones of this chunky yarn variegate through the spectrum with heathering to make each colour pop! Designs can be found in The Art of Colour pattern booklet featuring homewares, ponchos and sweaters.
Bergere de France is known for it's fun and stylish yarns that have a real sense of French style. It was quite hard for us to choose our favourite yarn from their new collection but we thought you might like to try Filomeche which is a lovely fluffy roving yarn in a chunky weight. The colour palette is wonderfully balanced with 11 shades that work well on their own or in patterns. A lovely snuggly yarn.
With chenille well and truly back in fashion Sirdar has launched new yarn Smudge which has the most incredible stitch definition. Smudge comes in a palette of 10 shades that includes the soft, pale pastels as well as the stronger, richer shades of Heirloom and Flock. The Sirdar design studio will also be launching lots of patterns to go with this new yarn.
Stylecraft's new collection includes an addition to their Life family of yarns that caught our eye. Called Life Vintage it is a subtle mélange of heathered colours to give a nostalgic feel. It looks great when combined with solid colours from the Life collection as you can see.
Finally, we have a touch of elegant luxury from the Pure Bliss collection from Debbie Bliss. Lhasa is a delicious blend of Cashmere and Yak in a chainette construction. Debbie has created really elegant designs to bring out the real beauty of the yarn.
Keep your eyes peeled for all the other new yarns that will appear over the coming weeks. IT looks like it's going to be a fantastic season for knitting and crochet.

Yes. I think we would consider all of the crops that we have as crops that
have been subjected to some type of genetic modification. Now, of course, we
have the newer techniques--recombinant DNA techniques--of introducing a
single gene or a few genes. . . .
From the early 1980s, these methods were applied in medicine?
So when the questions started to be raised about the application of these
techniques in the food sector, FDA had a lot of experience from the research
guidelines through NIH and from its own experience in reviewing the first
We've used genetic engineering in enzymes in foods without public
Yes. The first food ingredient was something called chymosin, or what people
may know better as rennet. It's the enzyme used to clot milk to make cheese.
That enzyme was produced in a bacteria as the first product of modern
biotechnology. FDA made a decision on rennet in 1990. We had a petition with
an opportunity for public comment, and we received no comments from the public
at all, at that time.
That was just the first of many enzymes?
Yes. Of course, there were other things--enzymes used to make high fructose
corn syrup, for example, which is used in soft drinks.
So before this current phase, what products have genetically engineered
. . . Things like bread and cheese and soft drinks, and the vitamins and amino
acids and so forth. But they are often not things that people would see in the
grocery store. In other words, when you buy a loaf of bread, you may not
realize that the enzymes used to produce that bread have been genetically
modified. That they're very minor components of the food, I guess, is the
Those products have created very little public comment. The second wave is
crops transformed to make more traditional foods.
Yes. . . . That's about the time that FDA was becoming aware that agriculture
was going to be a big sector of the biotechnology industry. Under the
mechanisms that we regulate food safety, we do not routinely review new
varieties of corn and potatoes and things that one would think of as food
before they go to market, even though there are several hundred new varieties
developed in the U.S. every year. Nevertheless, we do have authority over the
safety of that food.
But would you let those crops in, and then recall them if they're
Yes. The law places the legal responsibility on the purveyor--the person who's
selling the product--to provide a safe and wholesome product to the consumer.
The law also gives FDA broad enforcement authority to take action if there is
something that's unsafe about the product.
What makes you think these new genetically modified varieties will be
We actually spent several years at FDA looking at what would be the impact of
this technology on the food supply. The government had decided that, as a
matter of policy, biotechnology would be regulated under the existing statutes,
which for FDA meant that we would regulate foods under the Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act. We had to be sure that in fact that statute was adequate.
So our scientists examined all aspects of this technology relative to food
production--looking at how similar the products would be, how they would be
different, what kinds of safety testing would be appropriate for these
products. After careful consideration, we felt that we were dealing with foods
that we're well familiar with, in the sense that these are new varieties of
corn and potatoes, soybeans. . . .
Explain the concept of "GRAS."
Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, food additives--things like spices,
flavors, preservatives, and sweeteners--are required to be approved by FDA
before they can be used in food. The definition of a food additive does have
exemptions for substances that are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS).
Congress, in enacting the requirement for food additives, recognized there were
many substances that had been safely used in food, and did not want a
pre-market review of all of those substances, such as sugar and vinegar and so
forth. They also said that . . . if it's generally recognized in the
scientific community that the use of the substance is safe in food, that it
would be exempt from the pre-market approval requirement.
So we have a large class of substances--enzymes, many flavors, and many common
food substances, such as vinegar and sugar and salt and pepper and so
forth--that are added to food, but that do not undergo pre-market approval,
because they are generally recognized as safe.
Could this apply to genetically engineered enzymes, for example?
Yes. FDA has said that, in looking at modifications by genetic engineering,
there can be new substances in the food, such as a protein or an enzyme. To
the extent that those substances are similar to proteins or enzymes that we
have consumed safely, we would consider those to be essentially similar to
substances that have been accepted as GRAS, and so we will not require
pre-market approval for those substances.
We do have the legal tool to require pre-market approval if genetic
modification is used to introduce a substance that's very different, and we
don't have a basis to believe that that substance is generally recognized as
safe. . . .
So a potato is a potato is a potato, if it's not checked.
Yes. There is the possibility that someone could change the potato in a way
that would be significantly different. If, for example, through gene
technology, a protein were introduced that was very different from proteins
that we've safely consumed, FDA has authority to require pre-market approval
for that protein as a food additive. . . .
Is a variety of BT corn of interest to the FDA?
We have felt from the beginning that when there is a new technology--and we
consider recombinant DNA or modern biotechnology to be a new technology--it's
prudent practice for developers to discuss products that are produced by this
new technology with FDA before they enter the marketplace. Then we can be sure
that there's nothing about this technology that has not been resolved in terms
of food safety. . . .
In terms of a product like BT corn, where the corn is modified to produce a
substance that is a pesticide, that pesticide substance is evaluated by EPA
under the pesticide laws and regulations. But the corn itself, in terms of its
use in human food, still falls under FDA.
If it was "substantially equivalent," would you allow it?
"Substantial equivalence" is a difficult term, and it's not a legal term in the
U.S. . . . We use that concept as a way of comparing the new product with its
counterpart, in terms of how similar, how different it is, so that we can focus
the testing on making sure that any differences in the product are also
How similar is BT corn or Roundup Ready soy to other varieties?
In terms of the testing that we have seen, those products, except for the
introduced trait, are similar in all other aspects that have been measured. In
other words, the corn is still the same corn in terms of its starch content and
its other nutrients. Whatever is typical of that particular plant has not been
Given that there was little public comment on enzymes, were you surprised
when this issue recently became of greater public interest?
We had what we thought was quite a bit of interest in this in the early 1990s,
when we were in the process of reviewing the first products, including the
Flavor-Saver tomato. We had a very open public process, and FDA did receive
many comments about this technology at that time. Once we completed that
public process and made the decision for the first products to go to market,
there were then several years when we really received very little input from
the public. It's only been within the past couple of years that the level of
concern has once again been raised. . . .
In terms of allergenicity, is there anything new because of the process by
which these products are made?
Allergenicity is not a new topic, and it's something that we do take very
seriously. Because genetic material can be moved from different sources--from
one plant to another, or from one non-food source to another--there is the
possibility of introducing new proteins into the food. We know that there are,
of course, many proteins that make up the food supply. A few of those proteins
are allergens. . . . So one has to be very cognizant of possible allergenicity
when a new protein is introduced into a food, whether that's by a gene transfer
modification, or whether it's by a simple addition in the manufacturing
FDA indicated in its early policy that we would be particularly concerned if
genetic material were transferred from a food that we know causes allergic
reactions, such as peanuts or fish or soybeans. In that case, we actually feel
that developers should assume that they have transferred an allergen, unless
they can scientifically demonstrate that they have not. . . .
Would you say there's more risk of allergenicity with this
We actually think the risk is very low, based on our discussions with
scientists who are expert in the field of food allergy. The reason is that
there are ways to scientifically assess the possible allergenicity of a protein
that's derived from a source, where we know that individuals are allergic to
that food. We've actually had an example where a soybean was developed with a
protein from Brazil nut. There are individuals who are allergic to tree nuts,
including Brazil nuts. The scientific procedures did demonstrate that that
protein was an allergen, and that product was discontinued.
In terms of proteins that would come from sources that are not known to be
allergens--bacteria, for example--the feeling from the scientists was that,
while there's always some chance that a protein could be an allergen, it wasn't
very likely that most proteins would be allergens, particularly if they did not
exhibit characteristics that are typical of food allergens. Food allergens,
for example, tend to resist digestion. The proteins that have been introduced
into foods, to this point in time, have all been shown to be readily
digestible, and not similar to any known toxins or allergens. . . .
Would you say that was the biggest of the issues? What about
There are two aspects to that. One is the genetic material that's introduced
that produces a new substance, such as a protein. That's where we can
determine what the protein's function is, whether it's digestible, and whether
it has any similarities to known toxins and allergens.
Then there's a second area of question, which is about the food itself. Foods
contain many different substances, some of which would be harmful to people if
they were present in levels that are higher than what is typical of the crops
that we now have. So we do make sure that companies run the analyses to make
sure that substances that are typical of the food are present at levels that
are acceptable. . . .
What about the neutrality of the agency as to whether this technology has
succeeded or failed?
Our responsibility is to protect the American public. In terms of products
that are developed by a technology--whether it's a new technology or a
conventional technology--our role is to ensure that the products are safe. Our
role is not really to make a judgment about whether they should be placed in
the marketplace or not. . . . We are not here to impede products from being
developed and introduced into the market if they are safe. We are here as the
gatekeeper to close the gate if a product is not going to be safe for
consumers. . . .
You're not interested in the process by which a food is made, but in its
That's an important question, because yes, it is the characteristics of the
ultimate food product that we're interested in, in terms of whether that
product is safe for consumers. But it is important to know how a product is
produced, because that often gives you a window into questions about safety.
Different processes may raise different issues.
. . .
As a regulator, does the term "genetically modified food" give you any
definitional problems?
I don't think it really gives us problems. It's just that it's been difficult
to find terminology that everyone can understand and accept around the world.
We have always thought about genetic modification as something that applies to
all methods of altering plants, animals, microorganisms, that are used for
producing goods, such as foods and agriculture. Today that term is being
applied more specifically to the modern techniques of biotechnology. . . .
If we were labeling something as genetically modified, we'd have to label a
lot of things.
In our view, we'd have to label all the foods in the market if we just simply
said the broad definition of "genetic modification."
Clearly, that's not what people are talking about. . . . Europeans are
talking about food made with recombinant DNA techniques.
That is really the main issue. The actual legislation in Europe is a little
bit broader than just recombinant DNA. It includes some other sort of modern
techniques, but excludes from their definition the more traditional kinds of
techniques, such as hybridization. . . .
Mandatory labeling is very complex. What kinds of problems would you have
to wrestle with?
First of all, you have the plant that has been developed for a particular
purpose, and there may be several varieties of that plant that have been
developed by recombinant DNA techniques--several varieties of BT corn, for
example. But there may be other varieties of corn, and there are other
varieties of corn, that have been developed by different methods of plant
breeding. All of those varieties of corn will be processed together. They
will be shipped together. Then the processed products will then be introduced
into many different kinds of products. So it's very difficult to distinguish
which products contain material from modern biotechnology or any other
particular technology.
In terms of the food label itself, it can be very complicated, because you have
many ingredients in the food. An ingredient such as an oil, for example, may
or may not contain DNA or protein, depending on whether that oil is highly
refined or only partially refined, and whether it's a composite of many
different varieties that were used to make that oil. . . .
What about labeling food derived from animals that have eaten GM foods as
We have considered that issue. We do regulate animal feeds. The feeds, of
course, in some cases, contain new proteins. Those proteins, as I've mentioned
earlier, have been shown to be readily digestible. So we would not expect any
new material or different material to accumulate in the meat or in the milk of
animals that are fed feeds that are derived from plants that have been
developed by modern biotechnology.
Would you like to be faced with mandatory labeling?
For us, it's more a question of the law that we have. We do, of course, have
mandatory labeling for significant changes in the food. If there's a new
allergen in the food that people would not expect, that must be labeled. If a
consumer needs to know how to cook or prepare the food differently, that must
be disclosed on the label. If the food has a different nutritional value,
those kinds of changes have to be disclosed for a food developed by modern
biotechnology, just as they do for other foods.
But the question about the method--which is really the question that many
people would like to know--is a difficult one. Under our law, we are required
to make information available if it's material to the product. We have looked
very carefully at the use of recombinant DNA techniques, and we do not have any
information that the simple use of the techniques creates a class of foods that
is different in safety or quality from foods developed by other methods of
plant breeding. So we don't have a legal basis to require manufacturers to
disclose that information on the label.
The manufacturers are free to disclose whether the product is developed by
modern biotechnology or not developed by those processes, as long as they do so
in a way that is truthful and doesn't mislead the consumer.
Does that mean that the companies can't make claims about good or bad
When we look at labeling, we don't just look at the specific words, such as
"produced using modern biotechnology." We have to look at the whole food
label. What image does that convey to the consumer? What message will a
consumer take away from that food label? So if the product says, "This product
was not produced using modern biotechnology," but it has a happy face or
sunshine or something that conveys that this product is better than its
competitor, then we think that would be misleading to the consumer. If it's
simply a factual statement that this product was or was not produced by modern
biotechnology, then we would think that would be suitable labeling.
. . .
What about the taco shells that Taco Bell used? How could something like
this happen, given our regulatory structure?
This was a case of a product that was not approved for use in food. It was
approved by EPA for use in animal feed. The company that developed this
particular plant believed that they had a management program that would ensure
that the growers of this corn would channel that product into feed use, and
keep it out of the food supply. In fact, the company did explain that plan to
FDA. Obviously, it didn't work.
We did begin to receive reports that there had been some methods of detecting
the Cry9C, the name of this protein, in taco shells. We initiated a full
investigation into the matter. . . . As a result of that investigation, we did
determine through analytical methodology that in fact the Cry9C protein was
present in the taco shells that had been provided by the Kraft Company.
How widespread was this?
I don't think we know that exactly. . . . Nevertheless, Kraft recalled the
products. . . .
Was a potential allergen released into the food supply?
We have no information to suggest that there is a health problem with this
product. At the same time, it had not completed the review process. There
were questions about whether this particular protein might have some of the
characteristics that are similar to food allergens.
How would you reassure an anxious consumer? How could you make this less
likely to happen?
We have to be very cognizant about the complexity about the food supply, that
it's very difficult to separate something that's used in feed from something
that may also be used in food. That's something that all the agencies will be
looking at very carefully.
It's not terribly reassuring to hear that.
What we want to have in place is a process where products complete the
regulatory system before they go to market. I think that's the most important
thing, from FDA's perspective. That's why we're moving to a mandatory
notification system, to make sure that we are in fact informed about all
products before they go to market.
The mandatory system exists under existing law? Or would you need new
We think we have the authority. We're going to publish a proposal and explain
the legal basis that we believe that we can require companies to notify us,
under the existing law.
So if I'm a company producing a product with new genes, what do I have to do
to comply with mandatory notification?
The process that's been in place since the early 1990s is based on the 1992
policy, which provides comprehensive guidance to developers about the kinds of
issues that should be taken into account during the development and testing of
these products. What FDA has said right from the beginning is that we want
companies to come in and talk to us about these products early on, early and
often, even when they're on the drawing board. . . .
That gives an interchange between the FDA scientists and the company scientists
about the design of tests. So when the company then goes forward with the
testing, they have FDA's advice in the beginning. Once they've completed all
the testing, then we ask them to provide information to us, so that we can
evaluate whether in fact they have done the correct testing and whether they've
answered the relevant safety issues before these products go to market. . . .
Why should we trust a system like that?
We don't have the resources to do product development kind of testing. On the
other hand, as I said, our scientists do interact with the company scientists.
They look at the company scientists' data. That's our first line of making
sure that the data is sound. Under our system, the data that supports a safety
of product is always available, under the Freedom of Information Act, to anyone
who would like to review it. So all scientists who are interested--or others,
for that matter--can review that data. Of course, there is a federal law
against defrauding the government. So it's not in anyone's interest to provide
false information to the agency. . . .
What do you say to those people who say we've rushed headlong into this
It doesn't seem that way to those of us that have been working in this area for
many years. Our scientists have spent many hours reviewing data on the
technology as well as the specific products. . . . In reaching our decision on
the Flavor-Saver tomato, we discussed the scientific approach that had been
used by the company. That was the approach put forward in our 1992 policy,
with our Food Advisory Committee, which is a committee of experts from outside
FDA consisting of academic, industry, and consumer representatives.
One of the things that the committee concluded was that the product did not
raise substantial public health issues. They felt that it was appropriate for
the company and FDA to have gone through this elaborate process over several
years of review of this product, but in fact they suggested that we find a
simpler way, if there were going to be products that would be similar to that.
. . .
But you don't think this has been rushed?
No. This is something that FDA has done in a very deliberate manner: looking
at the science first; looking at the types of products and our regulatory
system; and really trying it out through the consultation process. It's been a
very deliberative and publicly open process.

My heroes have always been gadgeteers
So when the Star Wars movies came out, it was no big surprise that my favorite character was Boba Fett. You don't see him do much other than haul Han off in a block of carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back, but my eyes popped out of my skull when he finally gets to cut loose with a few of his toys in Return of the Jedi. Oh, man. Wrist rockets, a jet pack and the best looking blaster of the bunch. Then those sissies push him in a big hole with an over-sized ant lion. Dumbest movie idea ever. But I digest... er... you know what I mean.
Anyway, Boba Fett has been on my ever growing list of cool things to sculpt for about 4 years now. I finally made time to create my tribute to a great character in 15mm. Without further ado I give you...
Boba Fett.
Suck sarlaac digestive juices you pansy-ass rebel scum.

HP is an overall known name today. The organization is one of the most established IT organizations that keep on existing till date. So steadfast has been the client base of the organization since the starting attributable to its subjective items that it has been the highest offering brand regarding PCs and has been there since the year 2007. The organization gives its product, equipment and different partners administrations to end clients, little organizations, bigger companies, government associations, scholarly establishments and wellbeing segment associations. HP Printers too are one of the better items from the organization that are generally utilized by a few end clients and companies alike in various parts all around the globe.
Issue that can happen in a HP printer
A printer is only an electronic gadget thus regardless of on the off chance that it's made by a worldwide pioneer or from some littler player, it will get some kind of issue inside it because of a few or the other reason. There can be sure sorts of issues that can happen in a printer gadget, for example,
- Printer not able to give printouts or as expected regarding size, shading or more
- Printer Toner Showing message for low toner
- Some kind of support message appearing from time to time
- Printer execution support off altogether
- Paper sticking inside the printer
- Unable to associate with PC or system
- Issues with printer's drivers and software
Drawing nearer official support for help
These technical issues might possibly critically affect the printer's execution and to its client's efficiency, however over the long haul it is constantly encouraged to have these issues settled at the soonest, for they will most unquestionably turn out to be significantly more basic in future. To have them determined one should dependably approach the official group for help at the most punctual. Official HP Printer Support group is knowledgeable with all makes of their printers, thus they quickly resolve your issue when they are being drawn nearer. In any case, such live help administrations are reachable just till the time the printer is secured by a guarantee.
What to do when guarantee on printer terminates?
After the printer guarantee lapses, the main help that keeps on being accessible from the organization formally is its online self improvement base, which has data about all printer models, and in this manner can be perused through to comprehend the issue well and afterward investigate it. Be that as it may, any individual who observes these modules to be excessively extreme, making it impossible to comprehend or any individual who likes to just get live help can look for help from some other free substance. Such elements more often than not for request a specific charge consequently, which will differ based upon the source being utilized by the client to approach them.
Alternate Methods for Acquiring HP Printer Support
The main interchange to authority HP support, particularly for those issues that are equipment related and require some administration like HP printer repair, the help of a neighborhood professional would be the best wagered. You can likewise ring accessible as needs be technical support administrations suppliers for all issues that are not equipment related. The last can't take a shot at equipment issues for their help is given via telephone and they won't have the capacity to investigate your printer. The charges of accessible as needs be printer specialists are additionally path not exactly those of your neighborhood expert.
You as far as it matters for you should survey the validity of your picked HP support firm by perusing audits about it on the web, furthermore check for value gets ready for a couple of such firms before recognizing the right one for you. This will give you a chance to wind up in a win-win circumstance and will likewise get you the administration pretty much as you would have needed it to be.

Outside of the Taj Mahal, a long entry path leads through a park that is crawling with monkeys. It has become a tourist draw to bring or buy food and then feed the monkeys. The only problem is, these monkeys are not only smart, they are quite aggressive. I was told of stories of women reaching into their purses to pull out a banana and when the monkey saw other bananas in the purse, he snatched it and climbed into the tree with it. I made sure to only take food out of my bag when the monkeys weren't looking but one skeptical monkey (below) charged me and snarled and showed his teeth. I jumped back and the resulting photo, while blurred, captured the "aggressive" look on his face.
One couple came by on a moped and threw bread as they drove causing a near stampede of monkeys (photo & video below).
Further along the path vendors sold all sorts of snacks and nuts. I thought that this man and his tray of snacks made a very nice photo. I tried some of the dried peas he had and they were pretty good.
As I approached the entry gate to the Taj Mahal I worked my way into the crowd. I was finally getting used to the confinement of the crowd and the pushing and shoving; personal space is not appreciated in India.

Liberal ruling on standing for environmental groups in nuclear case
The High Court has rejected a challenge by Greenpeace to an official decision enabling British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) to test its new thermal oxide reprocessing plant (THORP) at Sellafield, Cumbria. The decision raised important issues concerning the legal interpretation of the Radioactive Substances Act 1960, but its longer term significance for environmental litigation probably lies in the Court's liberal approach to the issue of standing.

patterns > Spring Wildflowers and 1 more...
> baby acacia
baby acacia
baby acacia is a simple and summery little fingering weight baby singlet knit seamlessly and top-down in cotton. This is a deceptively simple and quick knit that yields gorgeous results.
baby acacia can be knit with either a few gathers across the bodice of the singlet and finished with a ribbon; or the body fully gathered. Either is equally super girly and cute and looks great with either skirts, shorts or pants.
baby acacia works equally well in either cotton or wool. The 4ply weight makes it a lovely light garment ideal for layering. Looks great by itself or under a t-shirt.
baby acacia is part of the Spring Wildflowers e-book.
The other patterns in this e-book are:
acacia (8ply version) sized 1-10
darwinia (can be knit as a dress or babydoll top) sized nb - 10
You can purchase each pattern individually, or the three as part of the e-book at a discounted rate.
As part of the bigger picture, acacia is part of my Australian Wildflowers Collection, which also features Olearia and Cassia.

Great Grandmother's Soup

Great Grandmother's Soup
|From: Texas_Dawn5 (Original Message)

| Great Grandmother's Soup
This is my family's favorite soup recipe. It NEVER turns out the same way twice. They call it Great Grandmother's Soup (it was her recipe she passed to me)
First everytime you peel an onion, peel potatos, cut any vegetable take the part you would normally throw away and put it in a gallon size zip lock bag and stick it in the freezer. Once that bag is full you are ready to go.
Take ziplock bag and empty into a large pot. Fill with water. Boil until mush. Strain out mush, saving soup base. Throw out mush. Now with base in pot, clean out the fridge... any left over that will be good in soup add away! I sometimes add a pound of stew meat too and/or a can of stewed tomatoes. It is never the same twice but it is always good! Only once in the hundreds of times of making it need I need to add salt. IF you have left overs, it freezes well too.

Whoa, Nelly! Or should I say, Whoa, Peggy? There were big moves being made on tonight's Mad Men, and Peggy Olson couldn't escape the waves crashing into her as the tide rolled in.
We've seen bits and pieces of Peggy this season, but her storyline hasn't really taken off. That is until tonight's "For Immediate Release" episode, which had her penning the press release that gave the episode its title.
Needless to say, there are SPOILERS ahead!
That press release announced the creation of a brand new ad agency (yes, another one).
Good bye Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Goodbye Cutler, Gleason, and Chaough.
Hello as-yet-to-be-named new agency that will have our old friends working WITH their old rivals ... and Peggy's relatively new bosses. The combination comes on the heels of SCDP losing Jaguar (thanks to Don giving them the heave ho) and Vicks (thanks to Pete running into his father-in-law, the Vicks honcho, at a brothel).
Roger managed to snag a meeting at Chevy for SCDP, but when Ted Chaough walks into a Detroit bar and finds Don already drinking, the two quickly determine they're not going to get anywhere as two separate but small agencies. As one behemoth, on the other hand, they can take over the world ... or at least Madison Avenue.
Of course combining might be good for their bottom lines, but what about Peggy?
She just bought an apartment with Abe! She can't afford to leave her job as copy chief with Cutler, Gleason, and Chaough, even if it means following them right on back to the people she just left.
Not that she'd want to. It seems the more time our Peggy spends with Ted, the more she's falling for her boss. She's even picturing Don's foil when she's making out with Abe.
She may be shocked to be returning to work with Don Draper rather than against him, but at this point Peggy seems content to follow Ted anywhere. Even if it is back into the lion's den.
And if reuniting Peggy with Don means we get to see more of her, that's perfectly fine with us. At Don's side is just where Peggy belongs!
How about you? Are you happy to see Peggy and Don working together again?

ED is an inability to get and / or keep an erection that allows sexual activity with penetration. It is not a disease, but a symptom of some other problem, either physical, psychological or a mixture of both.
ED should not be confused with low libido (little interest in sex) or the inability to reach an orgasm or ejaculate. Premature (too early) and retrograde ejaculation (into the bladder) are also different problems which require a different approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Occasional ED is normal. There is no need to worry about the occasional failure to get or keep an erection. Some of the causes of occasional ED include excessive intake of alcohol, anxiety and tiredness. One of the most common causes of ED is middle aged men is lack of sleep.
ED is very common and becomes even more common in older men. 52% of men over 40 years will suffer from ED. With each decade of age, the chance of having erectile problems increases.
At a superficial level, getting an erection is a simple process. There are two tubes of spongy tissue that run along the length of the penis and this spongy material is surrounded by a tough fibrous, partially elastic covering.
A message is sent through nerves that leave the lower spinal cord, telling the blood vessels entering the spongy tissue of the penis to let more blood in. The flow of blood out of the penis is then blocked off so that the penis fills with blood and stretches within the outer casing. This creates an erection.
Underlying this relatively simple explanation is a very complex range of chemicals in the body that also work together to get the erection. At any one time, the muscle cells in the spongy tissue and in the blood vessels are influenced by a balance of chemical factors, some which cause an erection and some which encourage a flaccid (soft) penis.
Many factors can interfere with getting an erection and often two or three factors are present at one time. In other instances there appears to be no obvious cause for the erectile dysfunction; however, most cases of erectile dysfunction are physical in origin.
There are many diseases that interfere with the functioning of the penis by either reducing blood flow or affecting the nerves. Some of these diseases include heart and blood vessel diseases, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and alcoholism. When the ED is caused by a physical illness it usually develops slowly. Some prescription drugs, such as antidepressants and blood pressure medication can cause ED as a side effect. One in 10 cases of ED is caused by psychological factors. A man's sex drive (libido) can be affected by stress such as problems at work or financial worries. Feeling depressed and anxious about poor sexual performance can also lead to ED.
There is no doubt that the ageing penis has less responsive muscle cells, which interfere with good erections. Like the rest of the ageing body, muscle tone in the penis reduces with age, as do many other aspects of sexual function. It can take longer for a man to get fully aroused. It may take much longer before a second erection happens, compared to the experience when young and usually the erection is not as firm.
When a man experiences erectile dysfunction he should see his local doctor, whether or not he wants to have sex. The reason for this is that ED may be symptoms of underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. It is important to talk openly to a doctor about any problems with sexual functioning.
Diagnosis of ED does not require complicated tests. After taking a history of sexual function and general medical factors, the doctor will do a physical examination of the penis, testes and prostate. Blood tests are done to check glucose (sugar levels), cholesterol and testosterone levels.
Usually there will not be a specific treatment that will lead to the cure of ED. However, there are treatments that will allow erections to happen and can be used to enable sexual activity to take place. The main types of treatment for ED are:
There are tablets (Viagra ®, Cialis ® and Levitra ®) which work in 70% of men with ED. These drugs, known as PDE5 inhibitors, inhibit a particular enzyme in the penis, enhancing the erectile response to normal sexual stimulation. Taking a tablet for ED is non - invasive and does not cramp the spontaneity of lovemaking.
A vacuum device is a pump placed over the penis to create blood flow. It draws blood into specific tissues of the penis, mimicking a normal erection.
There are medications which increase blood flow when they are injected into the penis. One of the side effects is a painful erection lasting for hours, known as "priapism".
Hormone therapy is only suitable for men whose levels of sex hormone, such as testosterone, are too low. It is not a common cause of erectile problems.
In consultation with your doctor, changing your prescription drugs if they are the cause.
Cialis Online
Penile prosthetic implants are usually used as a last resort if all other treatments have not worked.
It is usual to start with the least invasive treatment, such as tablets and to recommend more complicated injection treatments or surgery if the tablets fail.
At the present time there are no proven ways to prevent erectile problems developing, however keeping general good health may help lower the chance of having these problems.
Heart disease and diabetes can cause ED so preventing both of these problems through lifestyle changes, such as sensible eating and exercise habits, may greatly reduce the likelihood of developing ED.
Psychosocial problems are important and may cause ED in their own right, or together with one of the other causes listed above. Relationships are complicated and many factors cause tensions, which can affect sexual relations. In some men, problems can become ongoing and it can help to talk through the issue with a skilled counselor. Improved sexual function may be delayed by failing to deal with the psychological side. Being open and honest with your partner will encourage a good understanding of the problem and couples can work together to bring about a positive result to their relationship.

Bosham, Chichester City Colts and Chichester City Youth feature in our latest youth football round-up.
Get involved in the coverage by sending your match reports and team pictures to email@example.com - we need them by 5pm Monday for inclusion in each week's paper and this online round-up.
Following an impressive 7-2 Invitation Cup victory over Barnham Trojans, Bosham's under-15s capped a fabulous 48 hours by watching England under-21s win at Brighton's Amex Stadium.
Six separate goal scorers – Ed Kennett (2), Lewis Rustell, Harry Spicer, Tommy Veness, Callum Eugster and Jake Bradwell – helped steer Rick Kennett's side to an impressive first-round triumph on Sunday, with a trip either Worthing Town Black or Lancing Rangers – who they visit in the league this Sunday – awaiting in the quarter-finals.
As an FA Charter Standard club, Bosham took up a free ticket offer through the Sussex FA for the under-21 match against Switzerland on Monday – with prime seats just behind the dugouts for the Euro Championship qualifier – a game in which the Three Lions ran out 3-1 winners.
Assistant manager Chris Rustell said: "It was a thoroughly enjoyable night – the Amex is a fantastic stadium to watch football, and I'm sure the boys will take away a few memories from the occasion."
Last season, the current Bosham under-18s saw England women against Germany at Wembley in a similar offer as the village club continues to develop and inspire their players of the future.
More good news for the under-15s comes from a £250 grant from UK Power Networks' sports bursary for the purchase of training equipment.
Chichester City Colts 10 Pulborough Pythons 0
Chichester City Colts secured a fantastic win over the Pythons.
An early goal from Jack Kennedy was quickly followed by Harry Angell beating the Pythons keeper and walking the ball in.
Max Hopp nearly made it three but his strike was just wide. Teddy Phillippo put one in off the post for the Colts' fourth goal.
A bit of magic team work from Angell and Kennedy resulted in a second goal for Angell and the Colts went in at half-time 5-0 up.
The second half started with Angell completing his treble by looping one over the Pythons goalie.
Josh McCulloch saved a few shots to keep his clean sheet. The next Colts goal was powered in by Ben Roberts.
George Purvis twice rounded the keeper, taking the score to 9-0. Sub Matthew Palfrey flipped the ball into the net for a double-figure winfor the Colts.
Man of the match was Max Hopp.
CHI COLTS: Harry Angell, Harry Dobinson, Louis Godfrey, Max Hopp, Hugo James, Joshua Jensen, Jack Kennedy, Joshua Mc Culloch, Matthew Palfrey, Theo Perrin, Teddy Phillippo, George Purvis, Ben Roberts.
Chichester City Youth Green lost out to Worthing Town Youth in the Lavant Cup final. It was a close-fought game in muddy, windy conditions with both teams working incredibly hard.

Changes in the administrative team
2007-10-05 03:23:29
Server 1
Once again we want to inform you about some changes in the administrative team:
With deep sorrow we say Good bye to Soraya and Nightwish, who left LaL to have more time for their private life. A big Thank You goes to the two and their input into the team. We are hoping to see you back soon!
Next we want to report that our RaabHimself is once again a moderator for the support - he simply can't be without us
And we are pleased to announce that we have two new moderators in our team to strengthen the bilingual support: Hamilton and Achilles. In addition, Hamilton will work on the manual. Welcome to the administrative team and we wish you much success!
Lastly, three promotions within the team to fill open positions have to be noted: Samantha and Ferse are now silver administrators and Morwen is now a gold administrator.
They will surely give their best to the team.
Hence, the administrative team now consists of 10 people (in addition to klony, one of the creators of LaL):
Three gold administrators: Body, Sven, Morwen
Two silver administrators: Samantha, Die_alte_Ferse
Five moderators: Raab_Himself, Gaeltacht, lysi, Hamilton, Achilles
However, our job advertisement for an additional moderator is still valid!
The successful candidate is a dedicated gamer with a lot of experience for multiple gaming and strategic situations in LaL. He/She is willing to spend time in supporting other gamers in the chat and forum. A good knowledge of the forum and the manual are expected. Bilingual support for English and German is of advantage, as is the availability for support in the late hours of the day.
Interested gamers that are at least 18 years old are asked to send their applications for the position by support-query to us.
Best regards,
L&L administrative team

Widdle yukkie poo!
There was a slug on my rhubarb – a baby slug. Awwww! I let it crawl around on my thumb for a while; it left an ickle trail of slime.
Allowing something to leave a trail of slime on your thumb creates an inviolable bond of hospitality, so I couldn't just pour on the salt. I ditched the baby slug on a tree trunk far away from my garden. It exuded a slimy rope and rappelled down, twisting in the wind as it searched for suitable habitat. It stretched out its eye spots with all the exuberance of youth!
I hope it gets eaten by a bird.
