Hi Are American Ash and American Oak good wood for making cutting boards ?? It seems that they are very seldomly used for this purpose. Maple seems to be the preferred choice, but I have a lot of Ash and Oak I would like to use. |

The porous nature of oak has a tendency to trap and hold debris. This can make it unattractive for cutting boards- especially end grain type. -- Lew- Time traveler. Purveyor of the Universe's finest custom rolling pins. |
#2 posted 09-03-2010 05:23 PM |
Greetings, Actually, the best woods for cutting boards are Maple, Walnut, Purpleheart, and any wood that does not have a big open grain and porous…... Like Lew said, oak and ash are so much alike in nature, they're not good. -- Here in the South, we say "down the road a piece"...and , "it's over yonder".....!! |

I would think it necessary to carefully consider using ash as well, as it is quite lightweight; you could end up making one larger than typical, making it much easier to swing at you with by a wife that didn't appreciate your having bought a new table saw without talking with her about it first. I still have lumps. -- Power tools put us ahead of the monkeys |

I might use ash, but would not consider oak. As lew said, it is too porus, but if used as a cutting board, it will splinter as you cut into it. Use a tighter grain wood. I prefer hard maple. Our island is a buther block used for cutting all the time. It works great. That's why the real butcher blocks you buy are generally maple. |
#5 posted 09-03-2010 10:31 PM |
I know a lot of people use purpleheart for cutting boards. With that being said, it is my personal preference to stay away from it, as I feel it is too hard, leading to dulling your knives faster. The two things I feel are both important in the wood you choose for a cutting board (assuming it's actually going to be cut on) are: -- Jonathan, Denver, CO "Constructive criticism is welcome and valued as it gives me new perspectives and helps me to advance as a woodworker." |

White oak is fine for cutting boards. The tannic acid kills bacteria and the capillaries in the wood are halted, stopping absorbtion. Red oak, however, has continuous capillaries and is not good for a cutting board. Most cutting/chopping boards of white oak are of the long grain variety, not end grain. If you go to a pig-pickin' or hog barbeque in the south, you will find most of the meat is chopped up on white oak, long grained boards.

Avoid both for bacteria reasons. |
#8 posted 09-15-2010 06:55 PM |
For a more complete understanding of bacteria on cutting boards, may I suggest this article? In summation, both plastic and wooden cutting boards carry bacteria. Wood is better than plastic. Don't forget to bleach the cutting board after each use/cleaning. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

A man has been jailed for life for beating his teenage ex-girlfriend to death with a dumbbell while in the presence of their young daughter.
Jack Wall, 22, murdered 19-year-old Amelia Arnold on 7 November 2012, after she ended their relationship because of his "consistent and persistent" abuse, a court heard.
She was discovered in woodland four days after being reported missing. A post-mortem examination revealed she died as a result of head injuries.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard that Wall used "terrifying force" as he attacked her in the home they shared in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, after she threatened to report him to police for assaulting her.
He fractured her skull by striking her with a dumb-bell. Fearing she was still alive, he then stuffed a sock into her mouth, the hearing was told.
Wall's uncle, Joseph Potter, described in court as a "seasoned criminal", then assisted his nephew in dumping Miss Arnold's body in a shallow grave in Travellers Lane, Hatfield.
Wall, of Hadrian's Walk, Stevenage, denied murder but was found guilty by a jury last week.
He bowed his head as he was jailed for 19 years, along with a four-and-a-half-year sentence for obstructing a coroner, to run concurrently.
Potter, from Sycamore Avenue in Bletchley, was jailed for two and a half years for assisting an offender and obstructing a coroner.
Judge Aidan Marron QC said: "You took a life. You also deprived your child of a devoted mother.
"It is my judgment that you subjected her to consistent and persistent physical and verbal abuse.
"It is my view that she was terrified of you... you sought to control not just her but everything about her.
"She saw sense and was determined to end the abusive relationship. Your response to that was to attack her.
"It took place in her home in the presence of her little child."

Over 40 million Needy Children and Adults to be Affected Nationwide, Study
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A survey released today by Spectrum Science Communications states that a little known anti-privatization measure in the current farm bill would critically harm Kansas' ability to effectively administer its Medicaid program. The measure, offered as an amendment to the House-passed Farm Bill by Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA), would restrict all states from using non-profits and other private organizations in the administration of public assistance programs.
Over 40 million needy children and adults would be affected by the disruptions in service that would occur if the federal government takes away states' ability to partner with private firms and non-profit groups. Among those who would be affected are over 14 million enrollees in the Medicaid and The State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP), 26 million food stamp recipients, and 1.9 million participants in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
"This provision will severely hamper the administration of hundreds of social services programs in the U.S., affecting 365,000 recipients of Medicaid in Kansas," said Audrey Spolarich of Spectrum Science Communications.
The Spectrum study found that states such as Kansas rely on non-government organizations to assist in the administration of many means-tested social service programs. Private contractors provide pharmacy benefits and claims processing and monitoring services for Kansas' SCHIP and Medicaid programs, with over 35,000 children in Kansas enrolled in the state's SCHIP program and about 365,000 enrolled in Medicaid program.
"As someone who has had to administer these programs to recipients, I can tell you first-hand how adversely impacted state governments will be if this provision passes," said former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges. "In South Carolina and other states, important services like Medicaid and Child Support Enforcement depend on commercial and non-profit support. We can't let Washington play politics with the administration of these vital programs."
All 50 states and the District of Columbia rely on non-profit and commercial organizations to assist in the process of administering means- tested programs, according to the study. A total of 309 social services programs in the United States are administered by private organizations, 207 of which involve private contracts for direct beneficiary services.
The Baca amendment (Section 4015) specifically requires that only state employees be involved in any part of the process of administering food stamps to beneficiaries. States will not be able to opt out of this anti- privatization measure, even if outsourced programs have been more cost- effective and resulted in more enrolled beneficiaries in their states.
The provision "would deprive states of needed flexibility, remove a significant means of innovation, bring to a halt many valuable programs now in place," said Larry Goolsby Director of Legislative Affairs for the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA), a nonprofit, bipartisan organization of state and local human service agencies.
The Baca amendment is not included in the Senate version of the farm bill. The House and Senate must reconcile their versions of the bill before the President can sign a measure into law.

Well I think the point of my comments should be that while most revisions seem to improve things based on my understanding of the literature, surgeons can only take patients as them come. Even if 99.9% are helped, there are always going to be a few patients who have some other condition that will undermine the surgery. Cases like that other woman's and yours and a few other I could name are relatively rare at least in the testimonials. That does NOT mean that your pain is imaginary and frankly I am shocked that surgeons ever tell this or imply it to a patient UNLESS there really is some large percentage of psychosomatic cases that are helped by being told the pain will get better. I doubt it though.
My best guess is that there is something else going on. Just because a person has had spinal fusion doesn't then make every single health issue the person encounters related to the surgery. In your case, I believe you said you had problems at least 2 years before your surgery. Now maybe a surgeon should know that whatever that is, it would likely worsens with spinal fusion given you were already too stiff, I don't know. On the other hand, did you really have a choice about spinal fusion? As an adult, maybe you did. If you make it to adulthood functioning then you probably weren't surgical as a child. Most kids in surgical range, on the other hand, do not seem to have a choice... surgery is clearly better than no surgery. It is no close call.
For people like you, once you rule out the fusion as being the cause, it becomes a long, frustrating road to find the right specialist. That show, Mystery Diagnosis is real... it is sometimes very hard to make a diagnosis and people go years before they find the right specialist.
Have you contacted the Mayo Clinic? They take unusual cases as far as I know. The husband of one of my riding instructors was accepted there for unusual migraine headaches for example.
I wish you every luck. Life is so unfair.

Last week, HP killed its webOS devices unit. Over the weekend, the company slashed the prices on the TouchPad. The result? The TouchPad sold out completely in a matter of hours. This confirms what I've been hearing from friends and family: "I'd love a tablet, but I'm not paying laptop money for one."

Apple's iPad2 costs look to be the same as iPad's in 2010. And Apple is the biggest consumer, so they benefit the most. iPad1's component costs are about $200 at the moment, but those are Apple's costs...
PS: Did you try to insult me? Or maybe you know the actual costs of components to manufacturers? How many contacts at Foxconn do you have?

What is Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease (also referred to in more formal medical research as Huntington Disease) is an hereditary neurological disorder of the central nervous system that causes progressive degeneration of cells in the brain, slowly impairing a person's ability to walk, think, talk and reason. It was first described in 1872 by an American doctor, George Huntington, who studied an extended family in Long Island affected by the condition.
Symptoms of Huntington's Disease
Symptoms develop gradually over months or years. The age at which they first appear is usually between about 30 and 50. However, in about 5 per cent of cases Huntington's disease becomes apparent before the age of 20 (in this situation, referred to as juvenile-onset Huntington's Disease, it is usually inherited from the father). The onset and rate of progression of the disease tends to follow a pattern within each family.
Symptoms begin with memory loss (especially of recent events) or confusion, changes in personality and mood that may include aggressive and antisocial behaviour, as well as clumsiness or uncontrolled muscle movements (these movements are known as chorea) and rigidity.
As the condition progresses, other symptoms of dementia appear, such as loss of rational thought and poor concentration. Involuntary movements, difficulties with speaking and swallowing, weight loss, seizures, depression and anxiety may also occur.
The disease often progresses slowly, and the affected person may live for 15 to 20 years after the initial diagnosis.
Causes and Risk Factors of Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease is caused by a single defective gene on chromosome 4. This leads to damage of the nerve cells in areas of the brain including the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex, and to the gradual onset of physical, mental and emotional changes.
The Huntington's Disease Association estimates between 6,500 and 8,000 people in the UK have the disease.
The tragedy is that by the time symptoms appear, the person has often had a family and may have passed on the gene to their children. Each person whose parent has Huntington's disease has a 50 per cent chance of inheriting the gene, and everyone who inherits the gene will at some stage develop the disease.
In three per cent of cases, there's no family history of Huntington's disease and the genetic fault may be a new mutation.
The disease can't be prevented from developing if someone has the faulty gene. To inherit the illness, the gene only has to come from one parent, making it autosomal dominant.
The gene for Huntington's disease can be detected with a blood test, which is available to those aged over 18, before symptoms begin. This can determine whether someone has the faulty gene and help them in their family planning.
With no cure, many of those at risk decide not to take the test rather than live their life in the shadow of the disease. Genetic testing has also led to fears that those with a family history of the condition will have financial problems, such as getting insurance and mortgages.
Treatment of Huntington's Disease
There's no cure, but supportive care can ease many symptoms and help a person with Huntington's disease, and their family, lead as normal a life as possible.
Drugs can relieve symptoms of involuntary movements, depression and mood swings. Speech therapy can help improve speech and swallowing problems. A high-calorie diet can help maintain weight and improve symptoms such as involuntary movement and behavioural problems.
Cognitive changes often result in loss of enthusiasm, initiative and organisational skills, which can make multi-tasking difficult. Constant nursing care is needed in the later stages of the disease and support for carers is important, too.
Secondary illnesses, such as pneumonia, are often the cause of death.
There's extensive research into possible treatments for Huntington's disease. One technique is the use of transplants of foetal brain cells, which appear in some cases to repair and rejuvenate the damaged area.
Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Leeds have found that one of the body's naturally occurring proteins is causing some of the disruption that occurs in the brains of those with Huntington's, and its effects may be modified by using drugs that are already being used to help cancer patients. But it is likely to be years, if at all, before these developments result in an effective treatment.

A lot of you have experienced some of my collections but I want to introduce you my friend Crystal. Her sad eyed painting collection is beyond belief! When I was looking through her pictures and saw she had an actual Keane, I think I almost peed my pants. I'll let her tell you a little bit about her collection.
My mom actually got me collecting these pieces. She bought me a really cute Lee piece (that I've since lost in a move or something) gosh probably about 15 years ago or more. From there it just grew. I would buy one every time I saw one in a thrift store which wasn't very often. It seems they never charged very much for them back then and I've gotten several of these for $1. I hardly find them in thrift stores anymore. I always look but usually never find any so I really haven't added to the collection in a while.
The last time I found one at a thrift was last year. I found two really great Maio pieces in great looking frames and they were $5 each. Of course they are all over ebay but the sellers want a lot for them--usually more then I'm willing to spend. Most of my ebay purchases have been small pieces. So if you want to start collecting them ebay's a great place to start and know your artists--Keane, Maio, France, Eden, Lee, Idylle are some of the main ones you see. There are plenty more artists of the genre out there too--not to mention Gig who did the Pity puppies and kitties if you like sad animals.
One of my faves by the artist Eden. I love this because I'm an artist and I have a cat. Another great score I got was a Maio. I got it at the flea market for $4.00! It is a bit different because it shows a more adult person and not a small child. I love how beautifully it is painted.
My absolute favorite of my collection is this Keane painting. Margaret Keane is the grand dame of the genre. She has a definite style and her pieces are usually filled with such emotion and are almost always sad or depressing. I love thin one about 2 runaways. The long alley really gives you a sense of loneliness.
Hanging them all together really gave me a sense of how many I actually had and I have! I love looking at them and I love the hunt for them. That's half the fun of collecting anything really--the hunt for them. Because I don't see these in thrifts much anymore when I do come across one I get so excited!
Crystal's collection makes me excited! I love that I can geek out with her when it comes to these sad eyed beauties. Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us, it is amazing!

Malla-yuddha (Devanagari: मल्लयुद्ध,[1] Bengali: মল্লযুদ্ধ, Odia: ମଲ୍ଲ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ, Kannada: ಮಲ್ಲಯುದ್ಧ, Telugu: మల్ల యుద్ధం malla-yuddhaṁ, Tamil: மல்யுத்தம் malyutham, Thai: มัลละยุทธ์ mạllayutṭh̒) is the traditional South Asian form of combat-wrestling[2] created in what is now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. It is closely related to Southeast Asian wrestling styles such as naban and is the ancestor of kusti.
Malla-yuddha incorporates grappling, joint-breaking, punching, biting, choking and pressure point striking. Matches were traditionally codified into four types which progressed from purely sportive contests of strength to actual full-contact fights known as yuddha.[3] Due to the extreme violence, this final form is generally no longer practised. The second form, wherein the wrestlers attempt to lift each other off the ground for three seconds, still exists in south India. Additionally, malla-yuddha is divided into four styles, each named after Hindu gods and legendary fighters: Hanumanti concentrates on technical superiority, Jambuvanti uses locks and holds to force the opponent into submission, Jarasandhi concentrates on breaking the limbs and joints while Bhimaseni focuses on sheer strength.

In Sanskrit, mallayuddha literally translates to "wrestling combat". Strictly speaking, the term denotes a single pugilistic encounter or prize-fight rather than a style or school of wrestling. It is a tatpurusha compound of malla (wrestler, boxer, athlete) and yuddha or juddho (fight, battle, conflict). The compound is first attested in the Mahabharata referring to boxing matches such as those fought by Bhima. Another word for a sportive wrestling match or athletic sports more generally is mallakrמḍa. The second element, krמḍa (sport, play, pastime, amusement) implies a more limited-contact style of folk wrestling rather than true grappling combat.
The term malla was historically a proper name referring to, among other things, an asura known as mallגsura and the name of a tribe from the Malla Kingdom mentioned in the Mahabharata. The name Malla was also used in this sense for an ancient mahajanapada, a Nepalese dynasty descended from them, and the Mallabhum kingdom in Bishnapur. In the Manusmriti (10.22; 12.45), it is the technical term for the offspring of an out-caste kshatriya by a kshatriya female who was previously the wife of another out-caste.
Wrestling in South Asia has a history of at least 5000 years[3] making it the oldest known codified form of fighting in the region. Competitions held for entertainment were popular among all social classes, with even kings and other royalty taking part. Wrestlers represented their kings in matches between rival kingdoms; death matches before the royal court served as a way to settle disputes and avoid large-scale wars. As such, professional wrestlers were held in high regard. In pastoral communities, people would even wrestle against steers.
The first written attestation of the term mallayuddha is found in the Ramayana epic, in the context of a wrestling match between the vanara King Bali and Ravana, the king of Lanka. Hanuman, the god in Ramayana, is worshipped as the patron of wrestlers and general feats of strength. The Mahabharata epic also describes a wrestling match between Bhima and Jarasandha.[4] Other early literary descriptions of wrestling matches include the story of Balarama and Krishna.
Stories describing Krishna report that he sometimes engaged in wrestling matches where he used knee strikes to the chest, punches to the head, hair pulling, and strangleholds.[5] He defeated Kans, king of Mathura, in a wrestling match and became new king in his place. Siddhartha Gautama himself was said to be an expert wrestler, archer and sword-fighter before becoming the Buddha. Based on such accounts, Svinth traces press ups and squats used by Indian wrestlers to the pre-classical era.[5] Later, the Pallava king Narasimhavarman acquired the moniker Mahamalla meaning "great wrestler" for his passion and prowess in the art.
Competitions in medieval times were announced by a kanjira-player a week beforehand. Matches took place at the palace entrance, in an enclosure set aside for games and shows. The wrestlers typically came of their own accord during public festivals, along with magicians, actors and acrobats. Other times they would be hired by nobles to compete. Winners were awarded a substantial cash prize from the king and presented with a victory standard. Possession of this standard brought national distinction.[6]
The scene of action was gay with flags flapping, and the citizenry quickly packed the rows of benches. When the wrestlers climbed into the arena, they strutted around, flexing their muscles, leaping in the air, crying out and clapping their hands. Then they grappled, holding each other tightly around the waist, their necks resting on each other's shoulder, their legs entwined, while each attempted to win a fall or break the hold.
The Manasollasa of the Chalukya king Someswara III (1124–1138) is a royal treatise on fine arts and leisure. The chapter entitled Malla Vinod describes the classification of wrestlers into types by age, size and strength. It also outlines how the wrestlers were to exercise and what they were to eat. In particular the king was responsible for providing the wrestlers with pulses, meat, milk, sugar as well as "high-class sweets". The wrestlers were kept isolated from the women of the court and were expected to devote themselves to building their bodies. The Manasollasa gives the names of moves and exercises but does not provide descriptions.[1]
The Malla Purana is a Kula Purana associated with the Jyesthimalla, a Brahmin jāti of wrestlers from Gujarat, dating most likely to the 13th century. It categorizes and classifies types of wrestlers, defines necessary physical characteristics, describes types of exercises and techniques of wrestling as well as the preparation of the wrestling pit, and provides a fairly precise account of which foods wrestlers should eat in each season of the year.[1]
As the influence of Indian culture spread to Southeast Asia, malla-yuddha was adopted in what are now Thailand, Malaysia, Java, and other neighbouring countries. It was popular not only among commoners but also patronized by royalty. The legendary hero Badang was said to have engaged in such a wrestling match against a visiting champion in Singapore.
Traditional Indian wrestling first began to decline in the north after the medieval Muslim invasions when influences from Persian wrestling were incorporated into native malla-yuddha. Under Mughal rule, courtly fashion favoured the Persianate pehlwani style. Traditional malla-yuddha remained popular in the south, however, and was particularly common in the Vijayanagara Empire. The 16th-century Jaina classic Bharatesa Vaibhava describes wrestlers challenging their opponents with grunts and traditional signs of patting the shoulders. Sculptures at Bhatkal depict wrestling matches, including female wrestlers. As part of his daily routine, the king Krishna Deva Raya would rise early and exercise his muscles with the gada (mace) and sword before wrestling with his favourite opponent. His many wives were tended to by only female servants and guards, and among the 12,000 women in the palace were those who wrestled and others who fought with sword and shield. During the Navaratri festival, wrestlers from around the empire would come to the capital in Karnataka to compete in front of the king, as described by the Portuguese traveller Domingo Paes.[7]
Then the wrestlers begin their play. Their wrestling does not seem like ours, but there are blows (given), so severe as to break teeth, and put out eyes, and disfigure faces, so much so that here and there men are carried off speechless by their friends; they give one another fine falls too.
Malla-yuddha is now virtually extinct in the northern states, but most of its traditions are perpetuated in modern kusti. The descendents of the Jyesti clan continued to practice their ancestral arts of malla-yuddha and vajra-musti into the 1980s but rarely do so today. Malla-yuddha has survived in south India however, and can still be seen in Karnataka[8] and pockets of Tamil Nadu today.
Wrestlers train and fight in a traditional arena or akhara. Matches take place in a clay or dirt pit, thirty feet across and either square or circular in shape. The soil of the floor is mixed with various ingredients, including ghee. Before training, the floor is raked of any pebbles or stones. Water is added approximately every three days to keep it at the right consistency; soft enough to avoid injury but hard enough so as not to impede the wrestlers' movements. Wrestlers begin each session by flattening the soil, an act which is considered both a part of endurance training and an exercise in self-discipline. During practice, wrestlers throw a few handfuls of dirt onto their own bodies and that of their opponents as a form of blessing, which also provides for a better grip. Once the arena has been prepared a prayer is offered to the gym's patron deity, most commonly Hanuman. Every training hall has a small makeshift altar for this purpose, where incense is lit and small yellow flower garlands are offered to the god. This is followed by paying respect to the guru by touching the head to his feet, a traditional South Asian sign of respect for elders.
Many wrestlers live at their training hall but this is not always required. Traditionally revered as extensions of Hanuman, all wrestlers are required to abstain from sex, smoking and drinking so the body remains pure and the wrestlers are able to focus on cultivating themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. This purity is also said to help achieve the highest level of martial and sporting perfection. A wrestler's only belongings are a blanket, a kowpeenam (loincloth) and some clothes. In this regard, they are often compared to Hindu-Buddhist holy men.[2]
Boys typically start training at the age of ten to twelve. To avoid stunting their growth, young trainees are first taught kundakavartana, callisthenics and exercises to develop their overall strength and endurance without equipment. Exercises that employ the wrestler's own bodyweight include the sun salutation (Surya Namaskara), shirshasana, Hindu squat (bethak) and the Hindu press-up (danda), which are also found in hatha yoga. After acquiring the necessary power and stamina, students may begin khambhasrama, referring to exercises that use the mallakhamba or wrestler's pillar. There are a number of pillars, although the most common is a free-standing upright pole, some eight to ten inches in diameter, planted into the ground. Wrestlers mount, dismount and utilize this pole for various complex callisthenics designed to develop their grip, stamina, and strength in the arms, legs and upper-body. In a later variation, the pole was replaced with a hanging rope. Rope mallakhamba is today most commonly practiced by children as a spectator sport in itself rather than its traditional role as a form of training for wrestling.
Other training concepts include the following.
- Vyayam: Physical training in general. This includes rope climbing, log pulling, running and swimming.
- Rangasrama: Refers to the wrestling itself and its techniques. Includes locks, submission holds, takedowns and, formerly, strikes.
- Gonitaka: Exercises done with a large stone ring called a gar nal in Hindi. It can be swung, lifted, or worn around the neck to add resistance to press-ups and squats.
- Pramada: Exercises performed with the gada (mace). An exercise gada is a heavy round stone attached to the end of a meter-long bamboo stick.
- Uhapohasrama: Discussion of tactics and strategies.
- Mardana: Traditional massage. Wrestlers are given massages and also taught how to massage.

The onus is on individual students to satisfy the institution that they meet the criteria to be classified as home status for the purpose of fees.
Places for Home fee students are limited, consequently we are required to establish fee status prior to making a decision on your application. There are two categories of fee status, Home and Overseas and assessments are based on the information and facts that you provide at the time of your initial application to the school.
Only certain categories of students will be charged home fee. You should always consult UKCISA for the most up to date information. A summary is given below.
In order to qualify as a home UK student, you must meet all of the following criteria:
NOTE: For LSE the ' first day of the academic year of the course' is 1 September.
The following categories of students may also qualify for the 'home' fee:
Asylum seekers
Asylum seekers would not ordinarily qualify for the Home UK fee status. However, LSE has two financial awards available for asylum seekers to the UK. Please see the Asylum seeker award page for more information.
In order to qualify as a home EU student, you must meet all of the following criteria:
The following may also qualify for the 'home' EU fee:
The above is only a very brief summary and there are a number of exceptions to the above conditions. For more detailed information, and to see whether you fall into any of these, or any other category, please refer to the UKCISA guide 'Will I pay Home or Overseas fees?'
UKCISA -The UK Council for International Student Affairs has a range of information on their website on all aspects of the International student experience including fees, funding and student support.
Changes to your fee status during your programme.
In most cases fee status cannot be amended after you have registered at the school, however certain categories under certain rules mean you may become entitled to the lower fee rate. If you think your fee status should be re-assessed, please follow the guidance below on requesting an assessment and submit documents as a registered student.
Please be aware that if you obtain 'indefinite leave to remain' after the first day of the first academic year of your programme (1 September in the year that your programme started), your fee status will not change.
The exceptional circumstances under which fee status may change are listed on the UKCISA website.
If after reading all the information and consulting the UKCISA website you believe that the School should reconsider your fee status please complete our fee classification questionnaire [PDF] and send it with supporting documentation to the appropriate address below:

Cal's perfect 10
Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin's inclusion in this year's game gives John Calipari 10 McDonald's All-Americans since coming to Lexington. The previous eight were DeMarcus Cousins (2009), Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb (2010), and the current freshman class of Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer. Among the star recruits not on that list is John Wall, who was a fifth-year senior and not eligible to participate in the 2009 game.
Calipari obviously hopes to add to his tally before the current cycle ends. UK is still in the running for Shabazz Muhammad, Anthony Bennett and Amile Jefferson.
Kentucky's 10 McDonald's selections in the last four years ties North Carolina for the most in that span. Duke (7) is the only other school to bring in more than four McDonald's All-Americans in the past four years.
Shabazz takes the stage
The main attraction this week in Chicago will be Muhammad, the highest-rated player invited to the game and an uncommitted recruit. The Las Vegas native is expected to announce his school decision April 10. He has narrowed his list to UK, UCLA, UNLV, Duke and Kansas.
Bennett on the radar
Aside from Muhammad, UK fans should pay special attention to Bennett, a five-star forward who has been on the Cats' radar for months.
Bennett missed much of his senior season with an injury, but he's expected to be at full strength for Wednesday's game. The Canadian big man has narrowed his choices to UK, Florida, UNLV, Washington and Oregon. He has yet to take any official visits, which he plans to do after the all-star season ends next month. It's possible his recruitment could extend well into the spring.
Jefferson still in play
Though he never confirmed it, most believed that Jefferson was torn between Duke and N.C. State heading into McDonald's week. While those two should still be considered the favorites, Jefferson told Scout.com on Tuesday that Kentucky was still in the mix.
"What they do with young guys is special," he told Scout. "How they bring freshmen together with communicating, playing hard, and winning is unbelievable. You don't get a lot of time with freshmen and to have them playing better than teams with fifth year seniors, Coach Calipari just does an excellent job."
Off the radar
The game's other two undecided players — Devonta Pollard and Tony Parker — were both once considered to be UK recruits but have fallen off the Cats' radar in recent weeks. Pollard said Monday that he was no longer considering UK. Alabama and Mississippi State are among the schools on his list. Parker has several schools still on his list, but Kentucky isn't one of them.
Other names UK fans might be familiar with are Perry Ellis, Dajuan Coleman, Rodney Purvis, T.J. Warren, Brandon Ashley and Gary Harris. All were UK targets before committing elsewhere.
West is the best?
A quick look at the ESPNU recruiting rankings says the West team should probably be the favorite heading into Wednesday's game. That squad includes six Top 10 recruits — including Muhammad — and nine Top 15 prospects. UCLA signee Kyle Anderson is the only Top 10 recruit on the East team, which has just three in the top 15.
Where's Nerlens?
The most notable absence from this week's festivities will be Nerlens Noel, the shot-blocking phenom who many consider to be the No. 1 recruit in the country. Noel switched from the class of 2013 to the class of 2012 on the eve of the McDonald's announcements, and therefore was not considered during the selection process.
Scout.com, ESPN and MaxPreps have all named Noel the No. 1 overall recruit in 2012. Rivals has not released an updated list of rankings since he reclassified. The 6-foot-10 center has narrowed his list to UK, Syracuse and Georgetown, and a decision could come at any time.
Hicks at the helm
There won't be any players from the state of Kentucky in the McDonald's game, but there will be some Bluegrass flavor.
Scott County's Billy Hicks was chosen by the committee as the head coach of the East team. Hicks just wrapped up his 32nd season as a high school basketball coach, leading the Cardinals to the Sweet 16 title game. Scott County lost in the final, but Hicks has won two state titles at the school. He has more than 800 victories in his coaching career.
Joining Hicks on the sideline will be Scott County assistants Chris Wilhite and Tim Glenn.
UK women represented
For the third year in a row, the UK women's team will have a recruit in the girls' game. Chicago point guard Janee Thompson will play for the East team Wednesday. She is the 35th-rated player and sixth-rated point guard in ESPN's HoopGurlz rankings. Thompson follows Bria Goss (2011) and Jennifer O'Neill (2010) as the third UK recruit to participate.
The girls' game will be televised on ESPNU and ESPN3 at 7 p.m. For more information, click here.

Tootin' the Horn
I picked up the phone and dialed in, because the technology that has made the biggest difference in my life in the past several years has, hands down, been Blogger. Why?
It's allowed me a freedom of expression like no other I've ever experienced.
It's opened up all sorts of dialog with other people, and given me perspective on other people's points of view... especially valuable for understanding those I don't agree with.
I've met innumerable friends, either through email or in person, that I never would have met any other way. Nine blogmeets later, I've traveled to places I probably wouldn't have put on my travel wish list, but now can't live without. I know people doubt that any sort of real friendships can be made over the web, but you'd have a very difficult time proving it by my experience.
I use it almost daily. I can't say that about any technology other than my battery-operated toothbrush. I could live without the whistles and bells on the brush, but I can't imagine not having my little niche in the blogosphere.
When I first started blogging, I had no site meter. I truly was sending love letters out to the ether, not knowing or caring who was reading. After about 18 months I finally added one. I'll never know how many visits my first posts generated... but I know that I thank each and every person who's taken the time to stop by... and even greater thanks to those that return again and again.
Who knew that four years down the road I'd still be blogging and many of the folks who inspired me in the first place would be gone or posting only sporadically? You have to be a little nuts to do this, after all:
Happy fourth blogiversary to me!

Xiangtan Zhengyang Bearing Co., Ltd.
bearing, Bearing, NTN Bearing, nsk bearing, SKF Bearing, Manufacturer and Supplier - China
NTN Tapered Roller Bearings (3XXXX)
earings of this type use conical rollers guided by a back-face rib on the cone. These bearings are capable of taking high radial loads and axial loads in one direction.
In the HR series, the rollers are increased in both size and number giving it an even higher load capacity. They are generally mounted in pairs in a manner similar to single-row angular contact ball bearings. In this case, the proper internal clearance can be obtained by adjusting the axial distance between the cones or cups of the two opposed bearings. Since they are separable, the cone assemblies and cups can be mounted independently.
Depending upon the contact angle, tapered roller bearings are divided into three types; normal angle, medium angle, and steep angle.
Double-row and four-row tapered roller bearings are also available. Pressed steel cages are generally used.
? Metric Design Tapered Roller Bearings
For metric-design medium-angle and steep-angle tapered roller bearings, the respective contact angle symbol C or D is added after the bore number. For normal-angle tapered roller bearings, no contact angle symbol is used. Medium-angle tapered roller bearings are primarily used for the pinion shafts of differential gears of automobiles. Among those with high load capacity (HR series), some bearings have the basic number suffixed by J to conform to the specifications of ISO for the cup back face raceway diameter, cup width, and contact angle. Therefore, the cone assembly and cup of bearings with the same basic number suffixed by J are internationally interchangeable. Among metric-design tapered roller bearings specified by ISO 355, there are those having new dimensions that are different than the dimension series 3XX used in the past. Part of them are listed in the bearing tables. They conform to the specifications of ISO for the smaller end diameter of the cup and contact angle. The cone and cup assemblies are internationally interchangeable. The bearing number formulation, which is different than that for past metric design, is as follows:
? Inch Design Tapered Roller Bearings
Besides metric design tapered roller bearings, there are also inch design bearings. For the cone assemblies and cups of inch design bearings, except four-row tapered roller bearings, the bearing numbers are approximately formulated as follows:
