Practicum and Field Experiences
Department of School, Family and Mental Health Professions
Practicum and fieldwork training experiences are essential components of our programs. Students apply what they've learned in the classroom to their work as trainee counselors and family therapists in local schools, mental health agencies, hospitals, outpatient psychiatric and primary care settings, and other service settings. We select and cultivate optimal training sites to offer students diversity and depth in training opportunities. We also carefully select site-based supervisors and foster strong linkage between these site-based professionals and USD faculty. Our specific practicum and fieldwork experiences are described by program below, with examples of the training sites. Across programs, students receive expert supervision on-site and on-campus, with multiple layers of support and complementary practice perspectives to assure a rich experience.
In order for students in the SFMHP department to gain greater exposure to a wide range of counseling and mental health promotion services/programs, beyond their intensive practicum placements, we are encouraging students to engage in volunteer opportunities in the community. This list will be updated periodically as additional opportunities become available.
If you have further questions, email Peggy Hetherington at email@example.com.
The field experiences courses (COUN 588P and COUN 590F) represent major benchmarks in the master's-level theory to practice training of students in the school counseling specialization, as it is the first supervised clinical experiences, providing direct services to K-12 students.
School Based Practicum (COUN 588P)
The practicum is the first course requiring onsite experience with students/clients. The school counseling practicum is a school-based model, where a small group of students (4-6) are assigned to a school site with an USD faculty instructor. The instructor and students spend one whole day at the site providing direct service to students, and engaging in group and individual supervision. Throughout practicum, students continue to develop the basic counseling skills introduced in pre-practicum and prepare themselves for the advanced clinical instruction provided in yearlong fieldwork placements during their second year. School counseling practicum requires 100 hours at a site with 40 hours of direct client contact.
Peggy Hetherington, the Director of Field Experiences, will contact you during your first semester in the program to explain procedures for practicum placements. She may also be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com, if you have questions.
Before qualifying for practicum, you must complete the Clinical Instruction Benchmark Assessment (CIBA) with your advisor. (See copy of the CIBA paperwork here). As a part of the CIBA process, students complete a personal reflection document, submit papers from prerequisite classes (COUN 503, Professional Orientation, COUN 504, Pre-Practicum, COUN 520, Theory and Practice), and complete a verification of counseling hours form, obtain professional liability insurance, submit certification of fingerprinting clearance, and provide completed self and instructor assessments from the COUN 504, Pre-Practicum course. Students are also encourage to take and pass the CBEST exam, as this is a requirement to apply for the Pupil Personnel Services Credential at the end of the master's program.
School Counseling Fieldwork (COUN 590)
COUN 590F is a three-unit course taken upon completion of COUN 588P (Counseling Practicum: School-based). The course provides in-depth guidance and counseling experience in public schools and in agencies working with school-aged children. The course is designed to provide the intern candidate with experiences enhancing knowledge, skills and dispositions included in the USD School Counseling Program's learning outcomes. Fieldwork students are expected to demonstrate competencies of the highest caliber.
Prior to final approval for placement in the yearlong fieldwork experience, the school counseling student must arrange a meeting with their faculty advisors to complete the Fieldwork Readiness Process. (Review the required paperwork and expectations)
Students participate in fieldwork over their final two or three semesters in the program. A Fieldwork manual provides details regarding all requirements for the fieldwork requirements for the school counseling specialization. (Review the manual.) Students should carefully follow the instructions in the manual. The clinical instruction manual is available to review on the counseling program website and will be given to students during the practicum experience.
During each semester of enrollment in COUN 590F, the student candidate will complete a minimum of 300 clock hours at a field site selected following consultation with the student's advisor and the Director of Field Experiences. The student can enroll in three units of fieldwork during any one semester. Students applying for the credential must complete 600 supervised hours during at least two semesters. The student will participate in a group supervision class which will meet weekly during the semesters the student is enrolled in COUN 590F. A university supervisor will make two visits per semester to the fieldwork site to collaborate with the site supervisors and observe the USD counseling student.
During the first year, students will have a number of opportunities to learn about the types of sites available. The Director of Field Experiences, Peggy Hetherington, email@example.com assists students in finding appropriate placements in conjunction with faculty advisors.

CMHC Clinical Instruction Overview
The CMHC specialization is oriented towards state requirements for licensure in a wide variety of states. Clinical instruction refers to Clinical Interviewing COUN 540, Practicum I/II/III, COUN 587P, COUN 597 and COUN 598, and any mental health experience where CMHC students are exercising various counseling-related skills under USD approved supervision.
State-recognized board certification and licensure represent the highest credentials for independent mental health practice. The qualifications of the clinical supervisor are critical to the development of mental health practitioners. Toward that end, the USD CMHC specialization requires that the supervisor of record must have a valid mental health credential from the state of California and training in supervision of clinical experiences. This board certified or licensed supervisor requirement means that a student's clinical instruction hours accrued at the masters level will be accepted by the state of California and most likely would be accepted by other states.
CMHC Practicum I Overview (COUN 587P)
The CMHC practicum experience represents a major benchmark in the master's-level clinical training of students, as it is their first supervised clinical experience providing direct services to clients. The practicum is oriented towards providing relevant clinical counseling and training experiences in mental health settings.Before being assigned to a practicum site the student completes the Clinical Instruction Benchmark Assessment (CIBA), an in-depth evaluation of their readiness for practicum. The CIBA includes a review of instructor and self-evaluations from their clinical experience practice in clinical interviewing (COUN 540), the student's reflection on his or her perceived readiness for practicum, and an interview with their program advisor which focuses on the knowledge, skills and attitudes the student has developed that will make them effective in delivering direct services to clients.
Course Prerequisites for Enrollment in CMHC Practicum I
COUN 504 - Pre-practicum in Counseling Techniques
COUN 520 - Counseling Psychology: Theory and Practice
COUN 548 - Forensic, Ethical-Legal Issues in CMHC
COUN 543 - Foundations of Mental Health Counseling (Can be taken concurrently)In addition, all USD CMHC practicum students must maintain continuous proof of valid malpractice insurance during their Clinical Experience courses while they are providing direct service to clients at their sites. Practicum assignments are made by the Director of Field Experiences, Peggy Hetherington, in consultation with the CMHC faculty and the trainee. During the Practicum I experience, 100 hours are required during the semester, with a minimum of 40 of these hours in direct service to clients. The typical practicum I experience has the trainee present at their assigned site two days a week with the trainee providing four to five hours of direct service to site clients under supervision. In addition, the student will participate in one hour of individual or triadic supervision, and two hours of group supervision with a university-assigned supervisor during a scheduled three hour class meeting held at the site or at the university.
CMHC Practicum II/III Overview (COUN 597, COUN 598)
COUN 597F and 598F are three unit courses taken during the last two semesters of the CMHC Program.
CMHC practicum II/III is intended to provide in-depth counseling and training experiences in settings similar to those where the trainee anticipates obtaining employment after graduation. These courses are designed to provide the CMHC student with experiences enhancing knowledge, skills and dispositions in the USD's counseling program's learning outcomes. The trainee is expected to demonstrate competencies of the highest caliber. Prior to final approval for placement in the minimum of two semester practicum II/III experience, the clinical mental health counseling student must arrange a meeting with their faculty advisors to complete the Practicum II/III Readiness Process (review the required paperwork and expectations). The total number of practicum II/III hours required is 600 hours, with a minimum of 240 hours in direct service hours with clients. Students are required to enroll twice, once in either COUN 597F or COUN 598F to meet the requirements. Approved hours may only be accrued while officially enrolled in CMHC practicum II/III.
On-site supervision will be the direct responsibility of the designated clinical supervisor at the site. The on-site supervisor should possess a valid California license in a mental health area, have been licensed for at least the past two years, and have completed training in supervision of clinical experience. The CMHC program has a multilayer approach to supervision so the CMHC practicum student will also participate in a weekly group supervisor class at USD, and a bi-weekly individual supervision session with USD clinical supervisors.

Drop your briefs, your boxers or your panties for the camera and show your stuff. Attach your pics to an email to email@example.com. And let me know if you want your email address posted. Nudity only, no sex or sexually explicit shots. Include a first name we can use and a little about yourself if you wish. Makes the post more interesting. And its not against the rules to be creative. Your email is your permission to post your picture here. It may take a few days for your pics to appear. So come on, drop your pants or skirts and show the world how we're all beautiful in our own way.
The best way to comment on pictures that you like is to click on the individual picture and leave your comment there.
333 … Jesse has taken off his pants. (7-31-12)
Jesse doesn't agonize over his penis being too small. He doesn't have to. He has a big one.
And sometimes it just keeps getting bigger.
There is no primate alive that wouldn't be satisfied with this rocket, male or female.
332 … Armand has dropped his pants. (7-30-12)
Armand is a bisexual young man on a road of self-discovery. When he took these pictures he showed them to his girlfriend, who suggested he show them somewhere. Here he is on Enlightened Male.
His poses demonstrate what he finds alluring about men. I think many of us would agree. Armand, at one time self-conscious about how much his penis shrinks when its soft, now thinks it's ridiculous that a man as a lover is judged by his penis size.
I imagine Armand and his girlfriend have a great relationship. Judging by what he said in his email, it sounds like she knows how to appreciate such a beautiful, insightful young man. It's guys like Armand that make posting these pages so much fun.
Armand's profile in a mirror. A fine looking man from head to toe.
Armand mentioned those times he finds himself in a place where there are naked men, how so many of them have shrunken limp penises. It was during an occasion such as this that he realized how beautiful these men were, which, at the same time, he realized the same thing about himself.
331 … J, 20, from Ireland has gotten naked. (7-28-12)
J got circumcised two years ago. The photo above is a before picture.
Here's what J had to say: "I think being circumcised looks and feels SO much better than being intact. Been wearing briefs since the cut as I think it feels better Not many Irish guys are cut, I don't actually know any other cut guys so I like that I'm kinda special here . I used to think my penis was small but since i got circumcised it has grown an inch I think my tight foreskin was holding it back! I know its still small but I'm happy with it because it's pretty thick "
With J circumcision was appropriate. He had a reason and he was old enough to make the decision for himself. Personally, I think he looks pretty darn good in both the before and after pictures.
330 … Gerardo has unzipped his pants, then he got naked. (7-26-12)
Looks like there is room in that shower for two. Can you imagine two pairs of soapy hands?
Whoopsie-machupsie … that innocent little guy in the shower has turned into the big kid on the block. Gerardo has one heck of an orifice stretcher.
Gerardo has one fine body, though a good portion of his body weight is jutting out in front of him.
I can only imagine the smiles this handsome man part brings to a partner's face.
Nice shot. Something other than Gerardo's chest wanted to get into the picture.
329 … Mike, 50, from northwest New Jersey has gotten naked. (7-24-12)
Now and then a really creative guy comes along (and really hung). Today that would be Mike.
Mike obviously doesn't age. There must be something in the air up there in New Jersey.
Mike certainly knows something about manipulating pixels, or he knows someone who knows someone. Either way, he gets off posing nude. With a body like Mike's, who would want to wear clothes?
Mike poses professional on a part time basis. If he were posing for me he wouldn't need the jewelry. No way you can improve on or enhance Mother Nature's natural gifts.
Mike's male centerpiece is designed to get into some tight places, then stretch them out a bit. If that tight place was yours, your mind definitely wouldn't be on something else.
Great shot. Extremely sexy, not to mention inviting.
I couldn't resist posting all of Mike's pictures. He knows how to hit all the right buttons.
I'm not sure if I have ever seen a more appealing 50. I wonder what he looks like soft.
328 … Will from the USA has dropped his pants. (7-24-12)
Now we know Will's source of pride and self-esteem. He usually keeps in in his pants, but he got it out for us. That makes this a good day for everyone.
Thing is, when Will gets it out, it does this … juts toward the ceiling. Think you could refrain from taking hold of it if you were standing there next to him?
This gives us a pretty good idea of what we'd see if were we lying on the floor between Will's legs. Any volunteers?
327 … Kevin has gotten naked. (7-22-12)
Sometimes the lines, the curves, the angles of a man's body come together so beautifully, it's hard to take your eyes off of him. Kevin is such a man.
Add a masculine pattern of body hair and he gets even more irresistible.
The final touch is a healthy libido. Kevin is presenting his penis jutting forth, letting us know his body chemistry is in tune with what we're thinking.
I'd say Kevin has things well in hand. No wedding band. Does this mean Kevin is available?
326 … Hugh, 60, from the UK has gotten naked. (7-21-12)
Now this is nice. Circumcised men can only try to imagine what it feels like to have their glans completely covered with sensitive skin. But Hugh knows, and I imagine he's quite happy with it. I've always been fascinated by foreskins that close and form a nipple of skin just off the end. It's like getting a bonus from Mother Nature.
Hugh's penis is taking on weight. His glans are peeking out. Not hard to imagine a few intimate things you might like to do with a fine penis like this. Beautiful size and shape. Hugh is a happily married man, coming to terms with his sexuality, which has been a well-kept secret all these years. He would like to explore, but like countless men in the same shoes, where does one begin, considering the myriad risks and the emotional ramifications?
325 … Rob from Australia has gone to a nude beach. (7-21-12)
Interesting shot. I hope Rob isn't getting too much sun on his penis. And a fine penis it is, resting on its side between the tan lines. There is nothing quite like getting naked on a beach, sunning like Rob is, or playing in the waves, your dangling parts bobbing in the surf. Rob is setting a great example for the rest of us.
324 … Bran, 33, has gotten naked. (7-17-12)
Bran is a very masculine looking guy that has always been self-conscious about his penis size. Since he doesn't look like a human mule, I assume he has convinced himself it's too small. Maybe it is … that is if he were trying to sexually satisfy a heifer. But as far as the human race is concerned, I'm sure the vast majority would be delighted.
323 … Jeff, 40, has dropped his pants. (7-16-12)
Hmm, this is nice. Penis size preferences are a subjective matter. As far as this writer is concerned, Jeff's is perfect.
Now Jeff is naked. I find that very agreeable. He lost 40 pounds during the last year and has ended up looking like this. Wow. Now his whole body is perfect.
Jeff is a bi married guy. Though his bisexuality is a well guarded secret, he has come to terms with it and realizes it will never go away. Such a shame guys, especially married guys, have to keep their sexuality locked inside. Way too many bi-guys have to celebrate their true self privately.
Another wow! Like so many other men, Jeff's penis fully retracts when he's in a seated position. It's what I call the adorable look. Jeff works often as a nude life drawing model for several universities in his town, and he loves being comfortable enough in his own body to show its uniqueness to others.
Goodness! Jeff is ready for blast-off. Either he just saw his wife step out of the shower, or he's looking at an interesting website on the Internet. Maybe things down there between his legs need a little attention.
322 … John, 81, has gotten naked. (7-16-12)
You are looking at a man 81 years old. Not bad, huh? John is a nudist and a free thinker. He gets frustrated when some of the younger men in the gym locker room strip down to their underwear, then wrap a towel around their waist before taking off their underwear. Does seem kinda silly, doesn't it. Sounds like these guys aren't too comfortable in their own bodies.
I want to be as free as he is when I get to be eighty.
321 … Ray, 21, has gotten naked. (7-15-12)
Wouldn't it be nice to be 21 again, especially if you had a chance to meet Ray? Youth can certainly make a guy look delicious. Too bad it seems to pass like a whisper in the night.
Imagine yourself sitting across from Ray, both of you naked. This is what you would see.
Ray is a perfect example of how beautiful a young man can be with a bit smaller penis.
Very nice. Ray is good with different poses and angles that give us different perspectives of his body. I couldn't resist posting everything he sent.
Here Ray really looks tempting. He didn't say who he shares his body with, which means both guys and girls can fantasize.
320 … Geoffrey Has dropped his pants. (7-15-12)
Geoffrey has one heck of a man centerpiece to be proud of. I've seen baseball bats not this stiff. I bet there are more than a few that would like to spend an hour or two between Geoffrey's legs.
319 … Ron has gotten naked. (7-15-12)
Looks like Ron has gone into the bathroom and closed the door. Wonder what he's doing in there. Clearly there is more than enough to keep him entertained and it's jutting upward just below his navel. Maybe he would like some company. Nice trim.
318 … John from Oregon has dropped his pants. (7-15-12)
There are certainly some rock hard guys running around out there. John is no exception. That red color makes it look full of passion. And there's that lovely gentle curve to the left.
317 … John has gotten naked. (7-12-12)
Who wouldn't enjoy looking at a man sitting back and relaxing like this, especially a man that looks like John. It's hard not to fantasize about what you'd like to do with him. Though John was married 30 years, he writes stories about what he fantasizes about with other men. He was a boy when he had his first experience with another guy.
John first masturbated when he was 11. Had his first ejaculation at 13. He's been masturbating nearly everyday since. Obviously the years have not taken a toll on his magnificent erections. Nice handful.
316 … Brian from Chicago has gotten naked. (7-12-12)
Brian is a perfect example of why male nudes have become so popular on the Internet. He's gorgeous. Can you image snuggling with him on a wintry Chicago night?
315 … Free of Charge, 30, from the UK has gotten naked. (7-11-12)
You may agree that Free of Charge has a perfectly desirable body. When he's sitting up like this, his flaccid penis has that common accordion effect, which makes it look so innocent and adorable.
Here the accordion effect has disappeared and things have gotten considerable longer. This is what you would likely see if you woke up with Free of Charge in the morning. What a way to start the day.
Proof positive Englishmen are delicious.
Looks like Free of Charge is offering his penis to someone. It's anyone's guess whether that would be a man or a woman.
This is called temptation. If you were standing behind him, you would feel it in your hands.
314 … Brad, 45, has lowered his Speedo. (7-10-12)
Now why is it, when I lower my Speedo, I don't look down and see something like this? This hunk of manhood must have made one heck of a bulge in that swimsuit. Obviously Brad got in the right line when they were handing out penises.
Brad has dropped his pants in front of the mirror. He's 100% percent gay, which may mean he's checking out his anus. Maybe he plans to share it later on tonight, that is after his partner finishes with the main course located up front.
313 .. Trevor has gotten naked. (7-10-12)
Nice shave, among other things. But Trevor stays shaven, always has, always will.
Trevor calls himself a mature man. Just so happens his body has retained its slim, youthful shape. I bet he's as playful as a 23 year old. Here he looks mighty tempting.
Goodness! Trevor is a naturists, but he didn't say anything about his sexual disposition, so I don't know if he's offering this pose to men or women. I do, however, have my suspicions.
312 … Haroldo, 23, from Central America has gotten naked. (7-9-12)
We get quite a few immigrants here in the U.S. from Central America these days. I'm wondering why Haroldo hasn't come yet. We can use all the Latin hunks we can get, especially those who like to pose naked. He has probably heard about our politics and decided to stay home.
My oh my. I think Haroldo's penis is about to lift skyward. Posing this way, he's more than enough to make your heart flutter.
That's about as smooth and pinks as a man's glans get, and about as tempting.
311 … Young Mr. A, 22, has gotten naked. (7-9-12)
Young Mr. A is bisexual. He has been fascinated by the male body from a very early age and still is today.
This rock hard, bright red missile protruding from Young Mr. A's legs is quite a handsome male centerpiece. No wonder he wanted to offer it up to the World Wide Web.
A beautiful, imposing man. Be fun to watch him in a nude wrestling match.
310 … John, 24, has dropped his pants. (7-9-12)
John was so self-conscious about his penis size, he didn't lose his virginity until he was 23. That's all behind him. He has made up for lost time with at least two women that have assured him he was quite satisfactory.
309 … Jason from Wisconsin has gotten naked. (7-8-12)
Jason just shaved his entire body. Hmm … nothing but smooth skin, a couple intriguing tattoos, a handsome erection and one fine body. Be fun to step into that shower with him and lather him up.
Now this is one smooth launching pad for that rocket. Why is it that darn near every penis looks so tempting? Must have something to do with the way Mother Nature wired us. Bet there is more than a few wired for Jason.
308 … Jim, 50, from Alabama has gotten naked. (7-8-12)
Jim is old enough to remember one of America's most colorful governors, one that happened to be from his state (for those who don't know, I'm talking about George Wallace). It has taken Jim all this time to explore his bisexuality. He finally decided to get intimate with another man. Now he's wondering why he waited this long. Probably because same-sex escapades are still frowned upon in most quarters in Dixie.
Jim enjoyed every minute of his tryst with the other guy. I'm guessing the other guy was thanking his lucky stars.
This is Jim's version of heaven on earth. Now it's a matter of making up for lost time, given the fact that male intimacy has opened up a whole new world for him. For Jim there is no turning back.
307 … Fred from New York City has dropped his pants. (7-8-12)
This is Fred's masculine centerpiece designed for giving and receiving pleasure. It's probably giving you visual pleasure right now. He calls it his curious tool. So if you're looking for something that would feel good in certain intimate places, and happen to be in NYC, you'll find it hidden away in Fred's pants.
306 … Bill, 41, from the Midwestern U.S. has gotten naked. (7-6-12)
At 6′ 4″, 310 pounds, there isn't much about Bill that is small, except what he normally keeps hidden away in his pants. Just goes to show even big men come in a variety of sizes, concerning their manhood that is.
Bill is a bi-curious married man, like untold millions of other guys. He is self-conscious about his penis size and weight. Understandable in the world we live in today. Based on all the hype around the perfect man, many of us are self-unconscious for a variety of reasons.
Because of his concerns, Bill hasn't allowed himself to get up close and personal with another guy since his teenage years, when he and his best friend "experimented" on a regular basis, which went on until their early twenties.
Maybe Bill's penis isn't large, but given it's delightful shape it's certainly irresistibly tempting. Obviously it's in fine working condition. You wonder if it might have been the thought of all of us looking at it that created that slippery little pearl on the end.
When it comes to men, Bill needs to focus only two things: lots of guys dearly love small penises, and lots of guys are attracted to big men. No doubt a few of those are looking at Bill's pictures right now.
305 … Dave has lowered his underwear. (7-5-12)
Dave has one of those penises that retract into the body. That's okay. He is attracted to small, uncut, shaved penises, a boat I'm beginning to believe is pretty crowded. Seeing them soft turns Dave on even more.
304 … Ant from the UK has unzipped his fatigues. (7-4-12)
Now this is sexy. Ant is a paratrooper in the English Army. Wow! Even better, he's bisexual. Double wow! Can you imagine jumping out of a plane with him, landing in some secluded spot, then having a few hours together?
Ant has to be discreet. Even though it isn't illegal to like other men in the Army, it's still taboo. An encounter with another trooper is definitely a no no. What's up with that?
303 … Adrien, 27, from Spain has gotten naked. (7-4-12)
Adrien is a handsome young man that has been debating the issue of shaving, trimming or going natural. Here he is with all of his pubic hair glory.
Here's Adrien with trimmed hair and shaved balls, the look he prefers. I happen to agree with him.
Adrien shaved (or almost). I think it depends on the man. There is something to be said for clean shaven, but it doesn't look right on men with considerable body hair. It also depends on the guy's partner. Now you decide how Adrien looks best.
302 … Alan,27, from Hong Kong has gotten naked. (7-4-12)
Alan wanted you to see what a small Chinese penis looks like. He's self-conscious about it due to some of the comments he's heard from women. Sounds like a case of finding the right girl.
Despite the problems with women, Alan's penis looks all but irresistible.
At 3.5 inches fully erect, and given how wet vaginas get, Alan's penis often slips out during sex. I would suggest he give her a manual climax first, then she'll not feel cheated. Or perhaps this is a good reason to try anal sex.
All things considered, Alan's penis looks like something a partner could have a lot of fun with.
301 … Ruben from Texas Has dropped his pants. (7-3-12)
Ruben is straight, but he likes walking around naked. He says his penis is not very big, though he also says it serves him well. A good many of us knows exactly what he means. He certainly has some robust balls standing ready.
Looks like it is serving him well this very minute. I'd say that's a handsome handful.
Every man alive knows what it's like to give his penis a firm squeeze. There's nothing quite like it. Sometimes a bit of slippery stuff leaks out.
300 … Reg has gotten naked. (7-2-12)
Reg has sent a great picture. It is also quite sensuous.
Reg is beginning to get aroused thinking about all you guys and girls looking at him, and perhaps getting a little aroused yourself.
My goodness! Reg's penis is jutting straight out. And it's doing so over a pair of appealingly squeezable balls.
A different view… Reg's rocket must be at least seven inches. We'll have to keep him out of the small penis section.
If you are wondering what the whole man looks like, here he is in silhouette. Another fabulous picture, and of a masculine guy with a great body.
299 … Tony has dropped his pants. (7-1-12)
This is what I call delightful. It's a shame Tony ever has to hide it away in his pants. Even his balls like being up close and personal.
Perfect for those who like them smaller. Tony's partner could get the whole thing in their mouth.
Tony must be thinking about something arousing. His little guy is getting larger.
My word! What's happening? If I didn't know better, I would think we're seeing an optical allusion. Tony's little guy has turned into quite a handful.
298 … Greg has gotten naked. (6-29-12)
This is male libido with a capital "L". What man wouldn't be happy looking down and seeing this?
What a rocket! Greg didn't say anything about himself. Whether he shares this fine male part with another man or a woman is anyone's guess. That means you can pretend.
Some of the steam appears to be gone. Greg's penis is resting. Could this be because it has just had a vigorous workout?
297 … Crazy Cub, 37, from Ohio has gotten naked. (6-27-12)
Crazy Cub is into hairy men. Those are the guys he shares this seven inch handful with. That means if you are shaving, forget it.
Some men are fortunate enough to have a well-shaped ass. Looks like Crazy Cub is one of them. Too bad this intriguing picture is out of focus.
Look at those shoulders. Crazy Cub must work out.
Ready, willing and able. I'm thinking Crazy Cub is contemplating a hairy guy right now, or maybe a friend of his has just walked into the room.
296 … Calvin, 65, has gotten naked. (6-26-12)
Who says 65 year old men aren't beautiful? Calvin is here to let you know you have something to look forward to, as his companions can attest. He looks awfully appealing clean shaven.
Calvin changes channels when a Viagra commercial comes on. Who needs it? He got a divorce when he came out. His kids gave him a t-shirt that read "Formerly married, currently happy".
This fine male centerpiece is his right hand's best friend, though with the sex life he still enjoys, he doesn't have to call on his right hand for much help. Calvin is here because he identifies with the sentiments expressed on this site, as do many of us both young and old. You can find him at www.silverdaddies.com/851450.
295 … 4.5 has lowered his underwear. (6-25-12)
You may know a redheaded blond. This is 4.5′s version. I've identified him as 4.5 because that's his measurement, 4.5 inches of rock-hard manhood that he's darn proud of. Who wouldn't be? Bet you can imagine ways to have that blond hair tickling your nose.
294 … Trebor, 45, from Tennessee has gotten naked. (6-22-12)
Trebor is a masculine guy that happens to be attracted to both men and women. That means virtually anyone has a chance with him if they're in the right place at the right time and catch his eye.
He enjoys taking pictures of himself and describes himself a naturally smooth Hispanic average adventurous guy. Just what the doctor ordered for a sizable percentage of our population.
If you're not tempted yet, perhaps this pose should do it. Obviously Trebor knows what gets some guys juices flowing.
Trebor has a military background and he now flies for a living. Not only is he an attractive man, he gets more interesting by the minute.
Hmm, I wonder what he did with his magnificent penis during the era of don't ask, don't tell. Or before then, when casting your eye toward another man could really get you in trouble. The cock ring hole serves to make him even more tantalizing.
293 … V has gotten naked. (6-21-12)
Do you like men brimming with testosterone? V very well may be your dream come true. Masculinity is one thing, V is a man's man.
Here V is relaxing, or is he waiting for a little action?
So this is what's responsible for those errant contours we see in men's pants. Wonder what V would look like in a pair of tight jeans.
Color makes a world of difference. It so often distinguishes one man from another. V's skin color is all but irresistible. And his penis certainly appears to be pointing in the right direction.
V wanted you to see a little more of him. If this isn't a male ass I don't know what is.
292 … Diver, 21, has gotten naked. (6-20-12)
What an amazing swimmer's body! This is the first time Diver has ever done anything like this. The notion of sending in his pictures made him a little nervous, but aren't we glad he built up the courage. Diver is basically straight but slightly curious … perhaps he'll one day meet just the right guy for a little adventure.
These rock hard missiles happen a lot when you're 21, especially when you're thinking about thousands of guys and gals looking at you naked. One can only imagine how exciting the road will be ahead him.
291 … Paolo from Italy has dropped his pants. (6-20-12)
We're not seeing much of Paolo here, but we're seeing enough to know Italian men are just so darn sexy.
Paolo didn't say whether he is gay, straight or in between. The matter is open for speculation. No doubt he would get a few double-takes on one of those beautiful Mediterranean nude beaches.
Paolo is a man that makes it very hard to keep your hands to yourself, that is if you were with him when he's naked like this.
290 … Limone has gotten naked. (6-19-12)
Limone just finished his boyzilian (IPL method). Very becoming on an attractive young man. I bet the girls (or is it the boys) also approve of his smooth skin.
Is it the clean shaven look or the hardy erection that make Limone look so young and vibrant? (One might add delicious to those adjectives.)
A closer look. Perhaps you should avert your eyes before temptation gets the better of you. Limone says he's not circumcised; his foreskin is so short it just looks like he is. I doubt anyone would be overly concerned one way or the other.
289 … Anthony has gotten naked. (6-19-12)
I don't know much about Anthony, except he'd make a great poster boy for masculinity. What could be more inviting for anyone that prefers men with a little body hair?
288 … Michael from Manchester has dropped his pants. (6-19-12)
Now this is nice. A handsome erection set against a bright yellow pillow. You've heard of pillow talk … be interesting to strike up a conversation with Michael, that is if you could keep your mind on the subject matter.Pin It

Celebrity Trees
By Nicholas Kokales, Springfield Representative
Fairfax County Tree Commission
What would you call someone who simultaneously provides habitat for wildlife, reduces and filters stormwater runoff, traps carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, reduces noise pollution, reduces energy costs, and enhances human health by merely living twenty four hours a day, seven days a week? Gifted? Genius? Superhuman? How about a tree!
You may not see a Red Cedar singing on American Idol or a Sycamore kicking a 55-yard field goal at FedEx field, but trees provide a multitude of must-have ecological services each and every day. Now in Fairfax County they can receive "celebrity" status.
The Fairfax County Tree Commission officially launched the Celebrated Trees of Fairfax County program on Saturday, April 25 of this yearin conjunction with Arbor Day and Earth Day. The program is on-going throughout the year and encourages citizens to nominate a tree in one of four categories:
- Big – A tree that is large for its species
- Historic – A tree associated with a historic event, person, landmark or institution
- Commemorative – A tree or group of trees planted as a memorial of an event or person
- Favorite – A tree with special significance to a person or group
Nomination criteria and forms are available at the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services Celebrated Trees page. Nomination forms can be filled out and submitted electronically to email@example.com, or printed and mailed with additional documents to the address listed on the Celebrated Trees page.
Eligible trees receive an honorary designation as a Celebrated Tree of Fairfax County and will be included (with photos) in a database on the County's website. As a future project, the Tree Commission plans to produce a book that will include pictures and narratives of each Celebrated Tree.
Trees help humans in so many ways, and indeed help to make our lives possible. The Celebrated Trees program is a way to recognize and raise awareness of all they do for us. Do you have a celebrity living in your neighborhood?

Last week my husband, Jason, and I took our daughter to our neighborhood park in New York City. Bryn is almost two. She's such a girly girl, with her stickers and her jewelry—and she loves other girls. So on this day, she walked up to one just a bit younger than herself, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then walked along chirping, "It's a little baby girl! I love her!" Jason and I looked at each other, and I know we were thinking the same thing: If only….
Here's what goes through your mind when you're 41 years old and someone tells you you're going to have a baby: Um, what? But I just had my period! Didn't I? And aren't I 41? It was late winter, and I had gone to the doctor because I'd been spotting. He ran some tests and came back into the room. "You're pregnant," he said. (He doesn't mince words.) Jason wasn't with me, because why would he be? When I told him later that day, his jaw dropped. I couldn't blame him. Mine had too.
Because my first pregnancy had been complicated, and because I was over 40, the doctor told me that I was "high risk" and needed to take it easy. So I took it so easy. I had to. I was still bleeding, and I was nauseated and uncomfortable—"way worse than last time," I said to Jason. I felt seven months pregnant even though I was six weeks along. And because we hadn't planned this, I felt unprepared, like we had so much to do to get ready for this baby. Still, I was excited, if cautiously so, with the words high risk ringing in my ears.
In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, you try not to tell anyone, especially if you're me. (My first pregnancy had been outed by a blogger.) So I told only my assistant and one exec at Skinnygirl—to explain why I couldn't fly to Australia for a promotion.
One other person knew. We were renovating our new apartment: Bryn's bedroom was going to be pink (obviously), and we'd have a "man den," with brown suede paint and dark carpet. When we found out I was pregnant, Jason and I decided to do the den pale, for the baby. But the decorator had ordered everything, and she had to have been thinking, What is wrong with you? So I told her I was pregnant. It was crazy: I didn't tell my best friends, but I told a woman I had known for three months because it affected the decor.
Happiness, interrupted
In the seventh week, after the doctor showed us the heartbeat, Jason and I went for this great dinner downtown in Tribeca with another couple. We had a wonderful night, and I decided to stop worrying about all the planning we hadn't done and just let myself be happy. When we got home, I told Jason, "You know what? This is meant to be." While we'd been putting off pulling the trigger, not actively "trying," the universe had stepped in. We were glowing and happy, and I think we both started to feel: This is real.
And then it happened. The next day it was warm out, 50 degrees, but you'd have thought it was negative 10, I was shivering so much. I took Bryn to the Central Park Zoo, and I was cold and tired, and felt terrible. Then, in the makeup chair for Bethenny Ever After, I started bleeding. Really bleeding. Jason picked me up, and we went to the doctor. In the exam room the doctor ran an ultrasound, looking for the heartbeat. Something was wrong. "I'm not finding it," he said. Jason said, "I don't see it." And I'm like, "Is this a miscarriage?" I didn't know.
I got dressed, we met the doctor in his office, and I launched into it. "Is it because I'm busy? My lifestyle? Is this my fault?" I asked. "Absolutely not, absolutely not," he replied, before I could dump all my neuroses on his desk. "You're 41. You had bleeding. There's nothing you could have done." And I hadn't done anything. Since I'd found out, I'd been lying down for an hour or two a day and letting others take up the slack. But I blamed myself—of course I did.

The Texas Transportation Commission approved Revision 1 of the 2011 Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) at their November meeting. The revised manual became effective on Dec. 6, 2012.
The Texas MUTCD governs the placement of signs signals and pavement markings on every public road in Texas and on certain private property. Under state law, each road authority, including TxDOT, is required to follow the provisions of the manual.
The purpose of having a single manual is to ensure that traffic control devices are applied uniformly across the state as well as the nation. This type of uniformity helps improve the overall safety and efficiency of our roadways.

Chlorene injection
Hi, new here. On a drilled well and have suffered with clear water iron >5PPM plus iron bacteria for years. Simple filters are not effective and every time I have researched something that might work it was cost prohibitive.
Was recently given a 5 stage with RO for just drinking water. Have it mostly installed but not hooked up yet because iron is one of the few things it can not handle. While the manufacture recommends an iron pre-filter they will not recommend a *specific* one since they do not sell them... Argh!
Want to avoid the expense of any thing whole house so what are my options? Will a washable ceramic be enough? Do they make a tiny softener system that can handle iron that high? Currently buying an average of 3 1/2 gallons per day for drinking and cooking, so 1 gallon per hour should still be plenty even with the RO wasting 2 gallons for every 1 produced.
Chlorene injection
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
When was the last time you had the water tested? Can you post those results? Otherwise we are just wild guessing. Tom hit it right with Chlorine injection to start. But what to do after that?
FYI, RO's do not typically run at a 2:1 ration, depending on the system design, 4:1 - 8:1 is more common. If you are running at a 2:1 ratio, the water should be carefully pre-treated or you will be replacing membranes regularly.
Thanks both! Searching for "chlorine injection" and not liking what I have found so far. Complete systems that are way over my budget and components that are not specked in a friendly to DIYSers way. Will keep searching...
Last professional test was long ago. Just ran a cheep kit a few days ago to re-confirm what we have know for almost 20 years. Iron is off the scale and a few other minor issues that are trivial to fix.
The 2:1 ratio is from the RO filters literature. Have not started using it yet so can not confirm. None of the reviews, even the negative ones, mentioned this so I have to take their word.
Check this online vendor's "Complete Guide to Home Chlorination Systems" at http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/chlorinator.html. It's a pretty comprehensive, step-by-step guide to choosing a chlorinator system. It's got some prolems:
1) They sell Stenner injection pumps, which some pro's like, others don't;
2) They suggest injecting the chlorine before the pressure tank, which some pro's like, others don't;
3) They say you can't use bleach for the chlorine solution, but that's not true for Clorox brand;
4) They show a carbon filter (required as part of the system) in their illustrations, but don't give much detail. There are many discussions of carbon filters on this forum.
And, of course, the cost problem remains, but you get what you pay for.
Yea, unfortunately there is no cheap way out of treating IRB and clear water iron and both will mess the RO filter up in short order.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Sorry for the delay, just received my TDS meter today. Good news is that it is only 55 ppm and agrees with the test strip result below. Not a whole lot worse than our bottled water at 16 ppm.
Mikey, thanks for the lead! ~$500 is a bit more palatable than the $1,200 I had been finding for 'systems'. Will continue to research various chlorine injectors though it looks like a whole house is my only option.
Summary of test strip results:
Iron > 5ppm
Copper 0
Nitrate < 5ppm
Nitrite 0
Chlorine 0
pH 5
Alkalinity 80ppm
Hardness 3 grains (or 50ppm)
Iron bacteria confirmed by slime in toilet tank.
Here is a link for a company that sells the Chemilizer. You should remove the chlorine after you inject it with a carbon tank and a contact tank is often used to give the chlorine time to do its job.
Let us know what your plans are, these projects are fun!

It sounds like you have a significant iron problem. Unfortunately, while there are many good solutions to iron that may be tailored to your specific situation, you will not find a *true* solution for cheap. I would estimate $1 - $1.5K.

Grading the Systems: The guide to state standards, tests, and accountability policies
January 30, 2004
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Richard W. Cross
Theodor Rebarber
Co-published by the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation and AccountabilityWorks, with support from the Smith Richardson Foundation, this report looks at six elements of K-12 accountability systems in 30 different states. Each state is rated on standards, test content, alignment of tests to standards, test rigor, testing trustworthiness and openness, and accountability policies. The major conclusion: while some states have the basis of a sophisticated and rigorous accountability system in place, no state has every element of a serious standards-based education reform package in place. And few states are as open to evaluation as they ought to be.

Having Their Say: The Views of Dayton-area Parents on Education
November 14, 2003
Chester E. Finn, Jr.

Much has changed in education in Dayton during the past two years. The remarkable election of a 'reform' majority to the Dayton school board, and the selection of a new superintendent. Passage of a huge levy for school-building construction and renewal. The arrival of the politics-governance Act and Ohio's Senate Bill 1. The dramatic growth of the charter-school sector and of controversy surrounding it. Some ferment on the high-school reform front. And much more. Thus, it seemed time to once again 'take the community's temperature' with respect to a wide array of K-12 education issues. Herewith are the results.

The State Testing Program for Ohio and How It Works: A Primer for Charter Schools
October 24, 2003

With the passage of the politics-governance Act (NCLB), states have had to adjust their accountability systems to comply with federal law. As a result, in the summer of 2003 Ohio's Governor Taft signed House Bill 3, which dramatically changed the state's assessment system and what it means for charter schools. This report helps charter school leaders coordinate their testing and data reporting procedures to meet state and federal guidelines, in the hope that all students might surpass Ohio's academic expectations.

The Mock Trial Organization (MTO), launched last fall, gives aspiring business leaders an opportunity to learn what it takes to try a case in court -- while having fun and exploring career options.
"It's a great idea for students to enhance critical-thinking skills," says Frederick Hoffman, special instructor, management, who serves as club advisor with the help of Assistant Professor of Management Jennifer Thor.
OU junior Jonathan Huynh was preparing for law school with public speaking and acting courses, when he developed the idea for a mock trial club.
"I wanted to develop my educational experiences outside of the classroom," says Huynh. "I picked mock trials because I enjoy a competitive setting and learning about the legal profession."
Comprised of four students this year, the club plans to expand next year.
"Students learn to think on their feet," Hoffman says. "They must master their ability to react. It also enhances their oral presentation skills and even fosters acting skills. And, for those interested in going to law school, it will acquaint them with significant details of the courtroom process."
The mock trial experience can prove invaluable to prospective law students, adds attorney Kevin Gleeson, SBA '73.
"Interacting with opposing counsel, the court and witnesses is an experience available only in this setting and not in a classroom," he says. "The court room is a very dynamic environment, constantly changing. If you asked a combat general, they would tell you the best laid plans cannot always prepare you for what occurs when battle begins. This scenario is applicable to the events which surface when trial commences. Being able to change direction and make sound strategic decisions during the engagement is critical."
With more members next year, the MTO hopes to compete in the regional mock trial competitions sanctioned by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA). The AMTA presents member organizations a new trial case every August, alternating between criminal and civil cases. During competition, students argue both sides of the case.
This year's plan is to present the AMTA's mock trial for the SBA this spring and continue recruiting members. Mock trial participants can portray attorneys or witnesses. Thor, who also is an attorney, helps with preparations.
Huynh is enjoying himself. "It's fun and educational," he says. "You can meet a lot of people with similar interests." He's also impressed with the group's mock trial case from AMTA. "It's a very long case. I've enjoyed reading through it and formulating questions."
Now he's looking forward to delving into real trial competitions. "When you go to a tournament, you don't know what role you'll play, which forces you to think objectively."

Clinician for delinquent male youth
Best part about my job
Seeing these young, troubled boys get excited about things you wouldn't anticipate them liking, such as tea parties with school administrators.
Interests and hobbies
Singing, exercising, reading, learning about new cultures and spending time with close friends and family.
I'm inspired by
My faith, and people who choose to be nice and contribute without waiting for their "kickback."
Making healthy habits fun
I try to exercise a few times weekly, and I watch my portion sizes. I stay motivated to regularly exercise by choosing fun, social activities that will keep me coming back, such as Zumba® or yoga. When I go out to dinner with my friends, I don't avoid the temptation; I just take a little piece of it. My friends all order separate dishes, and then we all share.
Most grateful for
My education. No one, certainly not me, thought that I would ever be the first one in my family to earn a master's degree. It just shows if you put in the effort, are persistent and can tolerate frustration, you can change your situation.
How to wear bright colors
Those who are comfortable wearing only black or neutral colors could try a loud scarf or a great pair of earrings. If you want to wear just one tone, throw an interesting accessory in there to add some more color.
Feeling beautiful in your own skin
Women need to make it a priority for themselves. So often women worry about everyone else, making sure that everyone else is comfortable, but in doing that, you need to make sure you're comfortable, too. Maybe you go to the spa or get a massage one day. Sometimes I'll do a facial with DHC Tourmaline Pack; I do that for myself at home. It's just very important to carve out time for yourself.
Basic skincare routine
I have oily skin with occasional breakouts. I wash my face twice daily and exfoliate with a loofah in the morning. I use Deep Cleansing Oil to remove my makeup. I use Pure Soap because it is mild enough to not strip my skin of necessary oils, but efficient for keeping the oil at bay. To moisturize, I use Salicylic Face Milk; in the winter, I use Olive Virgin Oil.
Favorite DHC products
Velvet Skin Coat is a perfect primer, and sometimes I wear it alone without makeup. It covers enlarged pores really well. Deep Cleansing Oil takes care of mascara and foundation all at the same time. I don't need eye makeup remover, because I use Deep Cleansing Oil.
What makes DHC different
I love the fact that the products are olive oil–based. There's a lot of research to support how good olive oil is for you.
Are you a devoted DHC fan with a great story to tell?
You could receive a DHC makeover and a professional photo shoot in San Francisco!
To be considered for our Customer Spotlight, please send us:
• A recent photo (nonreturnable) that clearly shows your face
• Your name, age, address, phone number, email address, and length of time as a DHC customer
• Your favorite DHC products and why

Double Eyeglass Holder: I l
By Mare
from Laguna Woods, CA
About Me Career, Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Practical, Stylish
Best Uses
Comments about Double Eyeglass Holder:
I use the product daily and the color red is great because I can find the product right away in my purse. This is a "pro" comment. The negative comment would be that the product isn't long enough to accommodate all glasses. I wear two different types of glasses: one for computer work and one for driving/reading. While the former fit into the product, the latter doesn't, so I have to resort back to a former eyeglass holder.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Too Small
By Laura the animal lover
from Cromwell, CT
I had read another reviewer's comment about this being too small but there are different sizes of glasses and since I have two small pairs of wire frame glasses, I thought, "no problem" but I was wrong. After trying to stuff one pair in and trying the zipper, I didn't dare try to stuff the second pair. This needs to be a little bigger all the way around. Not worth the trouble to return so I am using it as a change purse and a debit card holder. I love the hard case one that I also ordered. That one is perfect!
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not Great
By Kit
from Jacksonville, Fl
About Me Budget Buyer
Todays larger eye glasses do not fit comfortably in this product. It just needs to be a bit larger so the glasses do not crack

Works Perfectly !
By Libby
from NLR, AR
About Me Career, Practical
This product works great in the car, and your glasses are handy when you need to change from regular glasses to sunglasses. Keeps the glasses from bumping around and getting damaged from rubbing against each other.

National Pink Heals Tour visits UNC
Pink Heals is an international volunteer group whose mission is "to help people battling cancer with a focus on women and what they mean to us in our daily lives."
Patients and families enjoyed visits with the volunteer fire fighters from across the US. Cancer survivors and family members were invited to sign the vehicles with messages of hope and love. After their visit to the N.C. Cancer and Children's Hospitals, the team held a parade on Franklin Street and finished their day at University Mall.
The Chapel Hill Fire Department has supported UNC Lineberger for three years with fundraising events.
Jennifer Bowman, UNC Lineberger special events coordinator said, "We greatly appreciate the Pink Heals Tour visit and their goal of raising cancer awareness. Our patients and families had a wonderful time talking with Chapel Hill and Pink Heals fire fighters. Special thanks to Chief Dan Jones and Captain Byron Greeson for their help with making the event happen. We look forward to working with them again on October 26 at Kenan Stadium when the Chapel Hill Fire Department holds a 'Fill the Boot' drive at the UNC vs. Boston College football game."

W.Va. Workforce official losing travel perks
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Starting Friday, the free ride ends for the assistant director at Workforce West Virginia.
The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/11byopx) reports that the state employment agency has been picking up the cost of Claudia D. George's weekly 376-mile commute from her home in Fairmont to her office at the state Capitol Complex. She also gets paid $51 daily for meals and $100 for a hotel room.
George has had the arrangement since 2010 and she's accumulated $78,000 in expenses over that time.
She is paid a salary of $62,640 to oversee 21 field offices.
Workforce West Virginia officials said George's commuting and living expense reimbursements would end Friday.
Some Workforce employees had complained about the arrangement, but the agency says George's expenses were filed in accordance with state regulations.

b) own a flock of North Country Cheviot Sheep which are eligible for registration.
c) provide, on the official application form, a list of the Registered Flocks in which the males and females to be registered were bred.
d) agree to pay to the Society a Standard Flock Fee, as determined by the Society (at present £10 per annum).
e) agree to pay to the Society a Ewe Registration Fee, as determined by the Society (at present £0.06 per female breeding sheep per annum).
f) agree to pay to the Society the stipulated Ram Registration Fee for each ram not previously registered.
g) agree to have the flock inspected, if the Council so requires.
h) agree to pay any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the inspectors, if required to do so.
i) agree to abide by the rules of the Society.
j) submit the necessary fees with the application.
Rules and Regulations
Ram Registration
1. Every owner of a Registered Flock shall, before the 1st day of December in each year, upon the Society's official form for recording in the Flock Book, make a return of his Registered Flock, with a note of the sires being used. This return must be in the hands of the Secretary by the 15th of December. Entries received after this date will incur a surcharge of £15.
2. Every sire used in a Registered Flock must be individually registered and entered in the Flock Book. The Registration Fees are:
All Bought-in Rams
(unless previously registered with a number and name).......... £5 per ram
Home-bred (individually named)......................................... £5 per ram
Home-bred (not named) .................................................. £2 per ram
Flock Rules
3. All replenishments of ewe stocks must be from Registered Flocks and the lambs, gimmers or ewes so replenishing the flock must have been tattooed or tagged before leaving their breeder's possession (but see rule 9).
4. On acceptance for registration, each flock shall be given a flock number which shall be retained by that flock for as long as it is a Registered Flock.
5. Every owner of a Registered Flock shall each year by the 1st day of November, tattoo or tag in the left ear of each ewe lamb born that year which he means to retain in his flock and such other ewe lambs as he thinks fit, his own registered flock number, the Society's official tattoo mark and a letter indicating year of birth. This letter shall be notified to the owner each year. All ram lambs must be tattooed or tagged by the same time in the same way, but, in addition, they shall have an individual number ( 1, 2, 3, etc.), and the letter indicating year of birth, tattooed or tagged in the right ear. This number shall start at 1 each year.
6. Breeders of ram lambs to be tattooed or tagged must keep a private register showing the sire of each ram lamb and the flock number of the dam.
7. This register must be retained and be available for inspection at any time by the Secretary of the Society or other person authorised by the Council.
8. The Council of the Society reserves the right of, at any time, ordering the inspection of any flock or sheep belonging to any member of the Society. The issue of Export Registration Certificates shall be conditional on the inspection and approval by the Council, or a duly appointed panel acting in their name, of all sheep for export.
9. The Council may, and shall from time to time, send an inspector to witness the tattooing or tagging of lambs. The owner of a Registered Flock, on being asked by the Secretary, must inform him of the date on which the tattooing (or tagging) is to be carried out. In such cases the Secretary must have two clear days notice of the tattooing (or tagging).
10. The Council may decline any entry.
11. No entry either of flock or ram shall be received from a member whose subscription and fees for the current year have not been paid.
12. Failure to make any return will result in the flock of sheep being inadmissible for registration.
13. All members offering North Country Cheviot Sheep for Show or Sale must have them clipped bare in accordance with the Bare Clipping Rule. The Society reserves the right to inspect any sheep bare clipped and shall carry out random checks each year.
14. No riggs shall be exhibited or sold at any principal show or sale held under the auspices of the Society.
15. Hill Register rams can be used on Park Register flocks and all such rams must be tattooed (or tagged) in the left ear with the letters "NCH" followed by the Flock Number of the flock where they were bred.
16. At the Ram Sales each year there will be a levy for the Society, at present £2 per cent, with a minimum of £3, collected by the Marts on all rams sold.

RedHead® Cordura® Jackets for Men sold separately and can be found through item search for item number 38-704-865-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CR73 My second pair! I loved my first pair so much, I bought a second pair. They are incredibly well made and comfortable. I wear them for work and when riding my motorcycle. Carhartt makes pants with Cordura on the knees, but these Redhead pants have Cordura throughout, making them much more durable everywhere. The seat, pockets, etc. on these will last longer than regular cotton duck fabric because the 25% Cordura content is everywhere. This is important to me, as my pants tend to wear out in areas where there's more movement (like in the crotch) and places where I store items, like my wallet and pocketknife in my back pocket. If I could live in these pants, I would! That's how great they are. October 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AZGARY Great Pants I would highly recommend getting these for hunting in the desert. I walked 6.3 mi. in these, according to the app "Map my Hike", and they didn't wear me down. They did, however, protect me from the thorns of the scrub mesquite I was walking through. I'd like to have a pair of these in Realtree Camo! October 19, 2013
