I have three perlick faucets. Two have perfect motion when going forward and backward, but one moves everywhere and does not stay in place. It seems like the actual bolt that moves is loose and causing this, but has anyone had similar experiences or any answers?
Has it been taken apart? You might try taking it apart and making sure that the shaft is pressed down as far as it can be. If it was put back together somehow without that shaft pushed all the way down into place, it might be wobbly.
While you're at it, take apart one of the faucets that's working well and compare. Notice that there's also a little plastic piece that channels the shaft so that it moves only forward and back, not left and right. That might also be missing for some reason on the faucet, or perhaps isn't working for the reason mentioned above.
Good luck!
Is this a 525ss, the one piece perlick with no removable spout? If so , yeah I bought one and hate it. You have to tighten the nut closest the body to get some good restriction, without the pressure of the beer on the ball it wont stay shut. I dont know why they went with this design? Good luck.
Primaries: Mojave Red (AG)
Kegs: Hibiscus Saison (AG), Orange Kolsch (AG) , Cocunut Porter
Future Brew: Wee Heavy
Yes it is a 525s.Thanks for your help! Inside I see the plastic ring and two o-rings. I have tried pushing it into place while tightening, but it doesn't "stay". It seems to be fine for some period and then goes back to its wobbly state after a few pulls
Does beer leak out? I ordered 2 of the 525s, they'll be here Monday. Are the 425s better?
DaveBlitzkrieg Brewery
the 425's are the classic and yes they are better are far as I am concerned. They have an additional shank that slides in and out as opposed to just this lever with a ball on it .
I recently installed 2 of the 525SS models and both have a very slight wobble left and right. They work fine, but seeing this thread makes me a bit concerned that I may have a developing problem.
I do like the perlick better than the original faucets I used, so I hope this issue does not grow for me.
I bought the creamer, which is the same except for the ability to push back on it to get a cream action. Its crap , I took it off and put my 425 back on . Here are the difference if you can tell in the pics below:
525ss and 575ss creamer
I have two 525ss and one is a little loose while the other is nice and tight. However they both still seal perfectly. I can handle a little bit of a wobble over a tap that is fused together so hard that I can barely open it. Plus the price was right.
I have four 525s and love them. There is a very slight wobble left and right, but I don't care. And if you take them apart and put a little bit of food grade lubricant on the ball (on the side that seals) there never a problem sealing. I haven't tried the 425s, but the slight wobble with the 525s doesn't bother me.
NoVa, just make sure that if you take it apart you push down on the removable shaft hard until it clicks. then screw the little nut on. If you don't, it will wobble badly.

Parent involvement
We are a new family this year , I have 3 girls in this school , we are very happy ...
This is the best school in Clintondale! Never had any problems. Have 2 kids going. To bad I have to go out of district for middle school. Mrs.Lamont is great and the staff are simply the best. Would send my children there before Rainbow, especially Parker.Congrats McGlinnen for the education you bring to every student.See you in the fall.
I have always liked McGlinnen. The teachers and the staff are wonderful. My children loved being there. I will be sending my younger children there also.
McGlinnen is an excellent school! My kids have been going there for 5 years. I have never had any complaints. There is many opportunities for parents to get involved which in turn helps our children do better. The kids learn much about giving their time for charity. They stepped up to the challenge to help raise money for Tsunami victems and the hurricaine victims. The principal is a wonderful lady who really cares for our kids. You couldn't go wrong at this school.
the school is great, alot of parent involvement, great after school activity's. Teachers and staff are wonderful.

Added Mar 19, 2013
by luxperdiem
Cincinnati, Unit...
I finally finished M6560! I expected to be really excited by this pattern, both during sewing and once it was completed. The finished fit, even tweaked leaves a lot to be desired. It might not look it, but it's REALLY low cut. Low Cut enough to where I would have to worry about some serious wardrobe malfunctions (read: nipple slips all day you guys). I don't think the X back does any favors for my line backer shoulders either. I had some neckline gaping issues where the straps start coming up from the bodice, which would only add to the nip slip danger. The zipper seemed really long, and I was right. If I completely unzip the dress it's pretty much impossible for me to zip by myself once it's on.
The pattern was easy enough to assemble though. I didn't like how the facing wasn't finished at all. It's just pressed up, which is kind of annoying and makes it have a tendency to roll up over the neckline. Mind you the facing is under stitched, but it doesn't seem to do much. I made view b, and ended up adding a ruffle because it seemed weirdly short, as I told you guys a few posts ago. Also the way the top is constructed, it squishes your boobs together in a really unflattering uni boob way. They look pretty good from the front, but from the side there's like no profile, and I'm pretty well endowed.
While this pattern strives for simple, it really sacrifices that with the fit. I have a feeling this will probably be worn more to the pool over my bathing suit than out to dinner. It was nice to actually get a project done though!
I don't think I'll attempt a resew of this. It might work better for someone else though. For now the patterns going in the fail box.

Banks pledge to deliver 'continuous improvement'
The UK's leading banks have voluntarily agreed to take part in a "programme of continuous improvement in culture, competence and customer outcomes" to be monitored by a new banking watchdog.
The Banking Standards Review Council (BSRC) will issue an annual report "setting out progress by the sector and individual banks", while each bank will report on its own performance.
The six banks and the building society which commissioned Sir Richard Lambert's review said:
The chairmen of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, RBS, Santander and Standard Chartered welcome the publication of Sir Richard's final report.
It confirms that there is a role for a new Banking Standards Review Council in restoring trust amongst customers and clients.
They accept his recommendations and undertake to implement them expeditiously.
Sir Richard has agreed with the banks to take on the role of interim chairman of the BSRC until a permanent chairman is appointed later this year.
A panel of respected figures from outside the banking industry, and chaired by Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, will appoint the new chairman.

I'm always curious about a writer's process when it comes to scripting the first movie in a series. What story threads do you let hang and which ones are you sure to tie up before the end? Do you test multiple endings to find out which one works best either leading into the second story or ending it completely? These are questions that Keller will undoubtedly soon find himself asking.
Matt Reeves accomplished what many thought was an impossible task last year, directing a beautiful, well-received remake of the Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In.

I love how the Addams Family has ZERO slut-shaming. Like… honey you can dance naked and enslave someone with your womanly charms if you want to, I don't fucking care, but so help me you're going to get a college education first.
The Addamses are what every family should aspire to be like (you know; without the dismemberment and electric chairs as play time). Honestly, have you ever seen more unconditionally loving and supportive parents than Gomez and Morticia? And not just with the kids, but with each other. I think what's especially unique about them is how open they are with everything. They don't treat their children like children. They treat them like they treat everyone else; direct, and to the point.
It's creepy how many good examples of parenting and romantic relationships there is in these characters, especially considering they are supposed to be the antithesis of the stereotypical American nuclear family.

Solar energy that doesn't block the view
A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface. And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU's College of Engineering, the key word is "transparent."

The latest little touch of evil left over from Dick Cheney's shadow administration was an alleged post-9/11 plan to rollback President Ford's 1976 Executive Order prohibiting assassination (which President Reagan amended in 1981 to specifically include terrorists). Basically, Cheney wanted to be able to go kill foreign leaders deemed "bad guys."
According to a recent New York Times story, the CIA "developed plans to dispatch small [paramilitary] teams overseas to kill senior Al-Qaeda officials." Which in theory would have cut down on civilian casualties and offered an alternative to drone aircraft strikes or "seizing suspects overseas and imprisoning them in secret CIA jails."
Cheney never went forward with the revival and some say his plans were only revealed to deflect attention from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's squabble with the CIA over water-boarding briefings; but to think for one thrilling moment that Central Intelligence could have been restored to its former glory: the cloak and dagger days of exploding seashells and poisoned briefcase handles…
Why, that's almost worth trampling the constitution for.
But even though we've been denied the thrill of murdering foreign leaders, we thought it an appropriate moment to look back at some of our better attempts to do just that.
The classic era of Central Intelligence — which, by the way, is the proper, professional, way to refer to the agency — began after WWII and continued until the mid-70s, when Congress spoiled the fun, investigating and insisting on oversight. And by then the best intelligence was coming from satellites and signal intercepts anyway. By 1989, they were so hobbled they failed to anticipate the collapse of the Soviet Union.
But in the old days the CIA was completely unrestrained. They were Ivy League cowboys who toppled governments, forged banknotes, consorted with the underworld and spent billions on urine detecting sensors in the Vietnamese jungle — and assassinated with relative impunity.
In 1975 the [Congressional] Church Committee, whose work eventually put the kibosh on the CIA-sponsored assassination, identified five alleged peacetime assassination plots among the CIA's nefarious deeds (which also included intercepting the mail of US citizens, illegal experimentation and other domestic espionage atrocities). The targets: Fidel Castro, Rafael Trujillo, Rene Schneider, Patrice Lumumba and Ngo Dinh Diem; the leaders of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Congo and South Vietnam, respectively.
To date, the Central Intelligence Agency has never actually admitted assassinating anyone. But a glance at a 1954 "Study of Assassination" pried loose from the Central Intelligence Agency archives and Church Committee's "Interim Report: Alleged Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders" strongly suggests they have at least had a hand in a few of them.
The Study, a how-to guide to assassination, was included as part of the CIA training manuals produced for Operation PB Success, an attempt to overthrow the Guatemalan government. It's full of deliciously evil morsels. A warning against gut jabs, cautions that "abdominal wounds were once nearly always mortal, but modern medical treatment has made this no longer true." (Sever the spine near the cervical region with a light hatchet blow instead, for "absolute reliability.") Another more sinister nugget advises that: "no assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded."
The Study also contains a reason why the CIA never owned up to assassinating anyone. "It should be assumed that [an assassination] will never be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by members of an associated foreign service." The CIA subcontracts its killers, in other words. The reason why? "This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing communications to paper."
The failed assassination of Fidel Castro was among the most venomous of the Church Committee's discoveries.
Between 1960 and 1965, particularly after the humiliating failure of the CIA-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion, the assassination of Fidel Castro inspired incredible creativity from the agency, including (according to a sheaf of documents Castro handed over to Sen. George McGovern in 1975) an attempt that took place on November 22, 1963 — the very day of John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Proven CIA plots included lacing Castro's recording studio with hallucinogens, placing radioactive thallium salts in his shoes to depilate Castro's famous beard, poisoning cigars with botulism toxin (a.k.a the active ingredient in Botox), exploding sea shells, and other more conventional strategies. Most worrying of all was the subcontracting of Mafia (who had owned casinos in Havana before the Cuban revolution) to do the deed. Castro remained in power until 2008 when he handed control to his younger brother Raul.
Poison was also the weapon of choice for killing Patrice Lumumba, the rabble-rousing anti-colonial leader of the Belgian Congo (now: Zaire), with CIA operatives procuring "lethal biological materials" (they considered rabbit fever, undulant fever, anthrax, sleeping sickness, small pox and TB) from Fort Detrick, Maryland and an accessory kit of "hypodermic needles, rubber gloves and gauze masks" that were "packaged in such a way that they could "pass for something else" to do the deed. Supposedly the stuff was disguised as toothpaste.
Though the Study cautioned against firearm assassinations (assassins tend to under-estimate the lethality and accuracy of guns) they were a popular choice.
In 1961, Lumumba was finally seized on a commercial airliner, and later killed by a rival government group who may or may not have been facilitated by the Belgian and American governments. The CIA also admitted to "extensive agency involvement with the plotters" who gunned down Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1961, but given the man's brutally repressive regime (captured in Junot Diaz' Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao) it was slightly more defensible from a human rights standpoint.
The CIA denied any involvement in the military coup that killed (quasi-) democratically elected South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963, on the orders of President Kennedy they failed to intervene (a move Viet Cong leader Ho Chin Mein described as 'insane' and exponentially increased resentment against the US-backed South Vietnamese government).
According to the Church Committee, in 1970 Gen. Rene Schneider was kidnapped (and accidentally killed) because he stood in the way of a coup, insisting on constitutional means to remove winning Marxist candidate Salvatore Allende from the Chilean election. Allende became President and was deposed in 1973, only to be replaced by Augusto Pinochet, one of the most repressive leaders in South American history.
In the 1970s, the U.S. government removed two categories of assault from its arsenal – chemical-biological weapons, and assassination. Though getting rid of these "tools" was partly humanitarian, assassination and chemical-biological weaponry are among the most horrifying and unpredictable of tactics. Getting rid of them was likely as much a tactical decision as it was humanitarian. And that is probably the real reason why Cheney didn't bother reviving the practice.
Daniel James Murray was on a mission to kill President Obama. Thankfully, he's just one more in a long line of American failures.

"Interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and clinicians has been the guiding principle of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch since its founding 20 years ago," said Professor Walter Rosenthal, chairman of the board of directors and scientific director of the MDC. He also stressed the importance of the Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC) for clinical research. The MDC and Charité – Universitätsmedizin have operated the ECRC jointly on Campus Berlin-Buch since 2007, and each contributes six million euros annually to fund the ECRC. Remarking on the planned closer institutional links between the MDC and the Charité, Professor Grüters-Kieslich and Professor Rosenthal added, "We want to continue to expand in the future what we have successfully begun here on a small scale."
The organizers of the symposium, Professor Friedrich Luft, director of the ECRC, and Professor Dominik Müller (ECRC) seek to demonstrate that researchers and clinicians can gain surprising new insights, e.g. into the pathogenesis of serious diseases, when they look outside the box of their own fields. Current research has shown that the immune system is not only responsible for the defense against diseases, but can also affect the body's salt and fluid balance as well as blood pressure. A report on this topic will be given by Professor Jens Titze (University of Vanderbilt, Nashville, Tennessee, USA and the University of Erlangen), one of the leading experts in this field, at the Berlin symposium.Professor Ken Bernstein (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA) will present new insights on an enzyme (ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme), which among other functions also regulates the fluid balance of the body. New findings suggest that ACE also affects the immune system and helps inhibit the growth of tumors.
A subset of these growth factors also plays an important role in high blood pressure during pregnancy (preeclampsia), one of the most dangerous complications for mother and child. A lecture on this disease, which is very difficult to treat with drugs, will be given by Professor Ananth Karumanchi (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center & Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA), who discovered the importance of growth factors for preeclampsia.

Alaska Department of Education & Early Development Division of Libraries, Archives & Museums P.O. Box 110571 Juneau Alaska 99811-0571 (907) 465-2925 Fax: (907) 465-2990 MS 206 Helen Troy Monsen collection Alaska State Library BIOGRAPHY Helen Troy Monsen (1899-1989) Helen Marian Troy was born in 1899 in Skagway, Alaska. She was the oldest daughter of John Weir Troy and Minerva Lewis Troy, who both came from pioneer Washington families. John Troy came to Alaska in 1897 as a correspondent for a Seattle paper and stayed in Skagway until poor health caused him to return to Washington. John returned with Minerva to Skagway in 1898 and managed a pack train taking supplies over the White Pass. Helen's sister Dorothy Minerva was born in 1901, although it is unclear if she was born in Skagway or in Washington. The Troy family moved back to Seattle, Washington in 1907. In Seattle, John helped organize the Alaska Club and its successor the Arctic Club and founded the Alaska-Yukon Magazine that he published for a year. John and Minerva separated in 1909 and divorced in 1911. John moved back to Alaska in 1913 with Helen and Dorothy to be editor of the Daily Alaska Empire in Juneau. He purchased the newspaper in 1914. While visiting Seattle in 1916, John Troy married Mrs. Ethel Crocker Forgy, formerly superintendent of schools in Seward and also a licensed embalmer. The couple continued to live in Juneau, where in addition to being the manager and editor of the Daily Alaska Empire, John Troy was also Collector of Customs for the District of Alaska from 1919 until 1922. John and Ethel, both Democrats, were active in politics in the state and in the nation. Both were members of the Democratic National Committee and attended the Democratic National Convention in New York in 1924 as well as other conventions during the 1920s. Because of health problems, Ethel left Alaska in 1920 and lived in Southern California until her death in July 1974. After Helen graduated from Juneau High School in 1916, she attended the University of Washington where she studied journalism. She met Robert William Bender, also a journalism student, while at the University of Washington. On January 20, 1922 the couple upset family members' plans for a wedding when they eloped in Seattle. Bob Bender worked for Columbia Theaters, Universal Theaters, and Fox Theaters in the northwest and in New York and Ohio. In 1932, Bob and Helen moved back to Juneau to work with John and the Daily Alaska Empire. After Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed John Troy Territorial Governor of Alaska in 1933, Bob became the manager and editor of the paper, and Helen acted as the hostess at the Governor's Mansion. In 1937, Bob went south to visit his father, William Lewis Bender, in Tacoma, and to regain his health. On December 26, 1937, Bob Bender passed away in Phoenix. After Bob's death in 1937, Helen became the manager and editor of the Daily Alaska Empire. As editor, Helen was vocal in her support of home rule for Alaskans and disagreed with some who sought statehood. Governor Troy resigned as governor of Alaska in 1939 due to health reasons. Helen married Alf Nikolai Monsen, an experienced Alaskan pilot, on October 11,1941 in her father's hospital room in Juneau, Alaska. John Weir Troy passed away in Juneau on May 2, 1942 and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Alf Monsen continued to live in Juneau and fly for Pan American Airlines while Helen continued as the manager and editor of the Daily Alaska Empire. October 26, 1947 while flying from Seattle to Juneau, Alf Monsen's plane crashed into Tamgas Mountain on Annette Island in Southeast Alaska, leaving no survivors. Alf was buried next to John Troy in Evergreen Cemetery. Helen continued as the manager and editor of the Daily Alaska Empire until 1955, when the company was sold to William Prescott Allen. Helen remained in Juneau helping at the Empire and working at the attorney general's office until 1966 when she moved to Palm Desert, California. Helen passed away July 4, 1989 in California. She was cremated in California and her remains were buried next to her husband and father in Evergreen Cemetery in Juneau. 2 MS 206 Helen Troy Monsen collection Alaska State Library Helen Troy Monsen's Family Names in bold are individuals with items in the collection Minerva Lewis (1873-1960)—John Weir Troy (1868-1942) — Ethel Crocker Forgy (1887-1974) m. 1892, d. 1911 m.

October 1, 1941 Harry Morgan — Dorothy Minerva (1901-1993) — George Arch Lingo (1901-1976) | Jack Burton Farleigh — Joan (1924-2001) — Tom Moore SCOPE AND CONTENT The collection consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings and other articles, images, and memorabilia of Helen Troy Monsen, her father John Weir Troy, her stepmother Ethel Crocker Troy, Helen's husbands Robert William Bender and Alf Nikolai Monsen and her sister Dorothy Troy Lingo. John Troy was Governor of the Territory of Alaska from 1933-1939. Correspondence between family members focuses on family matters, touching only briefly on local or current events. These letters and telegrams give insight to the private lives of the family members both in Juneau, Alaska, in Washington State, and elsewhere in the country. Snapshots taken by members of the family include pictures from Washington, Oregon, and California; bills are primarily from businesses in Juneau. Correspondence between individuals in the collection and others cover such topics as politics and business, specifically newspaper or theater, or formal thank you notes for hospitality. The presence of selected incoming and outgoing correspondence, especially in the case of Governor Troy, adds depth to the topics discussed. The collection will be of interest to researchers interested in Alaska between 1925 and 1940 as well as those specifically interested in Governor John W. Troy, his appointment in 1933, and politics in Alaska between 1930 and 1940. While there are some items relating to the Daily Alaska Empire, there are fewer than might be expected. The collection is housed in five boxes and is arranged as follows: Series 1: Helen Troy Monsen Box 1 Series 2: John Weir Troy Box 2 Series 3: Ethel Crocker Troy Box 3 Series 4: Other family Box 4 Series 5: Cards and Images Box 4 Oversize materials Box 5 3 MS 206 Helen Troy Monsen collection Alaska State Library Timelines Helen Marian Troy Bender Monsen, 1899-1989 1899, March 22 Born in Skagway Alaska, John Weir Troy & Minerva Lewis Troy 1907 Moved to Seattle with family 1913 Moved to Juneau with father 1916 Graduates from Juneau High School 1917-21 Attends University of Washington journalism school where she meets Robert Bender 1922, Jan.20 Marries Robert William Bender; live in Seattle working as publicists for Universal Pictures theaters in the area. 1932 Moves back to Juneau with Bob Bender 1933 John appointed Territorial governor, Bob takes over as managing editor 1937, Dec. 26 Robert Bender passes away in Arizona, Helen takes over as Empire publisher 1939 John resigns as governor 1941, Oct 11 Marries Alf Nikolai Monsen, 1942 John passes away 1947, Oct. 26 Alf Monsen dies in plane crash 1955 Sells Empire to Texan, Prescott Allen of Laredo 1963 Retires 1966 Retires to Palm Desert, Calif. 1978 Anchorage newspaper publishes obituary 1989, July 4 Passes away in California 4 MS 206 Helen Troy Monsen collection Alaska State Library Robert William Bender 1896-1937 1896, Sept. 12 Born Tacoma, WA to William Lewis Bender and Attended public schools in Tacoma 1915 Graduated from Stadium High School Attended the University of Washington During WWI joined United States Ambulance Corps, saw service in Italy and France and participated in the drive on the Western Front Works for the Tacoma Daily Ledger in advertising 1921 Finishes his work at the University of Washington, Graduates Assistant Business Manager of the Everett News, Assistant Manager of the Columbia Theaters in Seattle 1922, Jan. 20 Marries Helen Marian Troy 1922, January, Editorial Secretary to Dr. Henry Suzzallo, University of Washington 1923-1932 Worked in the theater business, manager of the Universal Theaters in the Pacific Northwest 1928 Gloversville N.Y. as Supervisor for the Schine chain of Theaters in New York and Ohio 1930 Fox, manager of the Fox-Brooklyn theater in Brooklyn, NY, transferred back to Northwest 1932 came to Juneau as Editor and Manager of the Empire 1937, Dec. 26 Dies of heart problem in Arizona Alf Nikolai Monsen, 1900-1947 1900, Feb. 1 Born in Bergen Norway to Hans and Betzy Monsen 1906 Came to the United States with family, returned to Norway (year?) 1910 Returned to United States Attended public schools in Oakland, California 1917 Came to Alaska as employee of the Alaska Railroad 1920 Returned to Alaska and worked for the railroad 1921 Married Margaret Simonsen (Wesley, Albert) 1928 Began flying 1931, February Got a job with Pacific International Airways in Anchorage, AK 1932 Joined Pan American when Pacific International Airways was bought out 1941, Oct. 11 Marries Helen Troy Bender in Juneau 1947, Oct. 26 Dies in plane crash 5 MS 206 Helen Troy Monsen collection Alaska State Library John Weir Troy, 1868-1942 1868, October 31 Born in Dungeness, Washington to Smith Troy and Laura Bass Weir Troy.

Some Arab rulers continue to declare their strong support of Palestine and its cause.

We use adverbials of manner to say how something happens or how something is done:
The children were playing happily.
He was driving as fast as possible.
We use adverbials of place to say where something happens:
I saw him there.
We met in London.
We use adverbials of time to say when or how often something happens:
They start work at six thirty.
They usually go to work by bus.
We use adverbials of probability to show how certain we are about something.
- Perhaps the weather will be fine.
- He is certainly coming to the party.
Try these tasks to practice your use of adverbials.

Hi Kirk
Well I tired to answer the Adverbials 1, even after giving the right answer it gives be a that I'm wrong is it the placement of the answer only this part is a bit confusing can you clarify?
Hi Wilson,
I'm not sure what you mean. I've tested the activity and it seems to be working fine, recognising the correct answers whatever order I put them in. Could you let us know what exactly happened, please? Which words in which columns were marked as incorrect? We'll see if we can replicate the problem.
Best wishes,

Tharindu lakshan replied on Sri Lanka Permalink
The Learn English team,
When we make questions in passive voice, What form we should put the infinitive? past participle or present simple???
Hi Thari,
Have you seen our active and passive voice and question forms pages? Please be sure to look for answers to your questions on the site before asking - there is a search box to help you find answers. And when ask a question, please ask it on a relevant page (e.g. a question about verbs should go on a page related to verbs, not adverbials) and make it as specific as possible and with an example if possible.
Thanks and best wishes,
The LearnEnglish Team
Tharindu lakshan replied on Sri Lanka Permalink
The Learn English team,
* He do it very well.
*He does it very well.
What is the correct one?
Hello Tharindu,
'He does it very well' is correct. 'He' is a third-person form, and so 'does' is needed.
Best wishes,
The LearnEnglish Team
Tharindu lakshan replied on Sri Lanka Permalink
I can't understand. I don't understand. which is the correct one????
Tharindu lakshan replied on Sri Lanka Permalink
Would is used much times. But i can't understand how use would. Some teachers say would is past of should. But would is used more than that.
Hello Tharindu,
You're right that would is used in many different ways. I'd suggest you read our will or would page for more information.
As for your other question (above), both sentences are correct, but they mean slightly different things: "I can't understand" implies that you have made an effort to understand something, but still don't understand it.
Best wishes,
The LearnEnglish Team
Hello :),
Can you tell me deferent between "good" and "well".

- Box Office: Guardians of the Galaxy Wins Labor Day Weekend
Lance Armstrong is coming clean about his decision to use performance-enhancing drugs during his storied career as one of the world's most iconic cyclists.
In a much-anticipated sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired Thursday, cycling's former golden boy admitted to doping throughout his career, including each of his seven Tour de France wins.
During the intense interview, Winfrey grilled Armstrong, 41, with a number of questions concerning the pressures of fame, his decision to use drugs, and how he will apologize to the many people he retaliated against in his climb to the top.
PHOTOS: Biggest sports scandals of all time
"I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times," Armstrong admitted to Winfrey. "I know the truth. The truth isn't what was out there. The truth isn't what I said."
"I'm a flawed character, as I well know," he continued. "All the fault and all the blame here falls on me."
The disgraced cyclist also admitted that he didn't consider his decision to take performance-enhancing drugs "cheating" at the time -- rather, it was simply a way to create a "level playing field" since so many of his fellow competitors were also doping.
(Armstrong declined to name specific dates, people, and locations where the illicit drug use took place.)
PHOTOS: Athletes' personal lives
He did, however, detail the "cocktail" that he used before competitions: A mixture of EPO, blood transfusions and testosterone. He also previously used cortisone.
"I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture," Armstrong said, by way of trying to explain his behavior.
The cyclist claimed that he stopped using drugs in 2005, and competed in the Tours de France in 2009 and 2010 completely drug-free. He placed third in 2009 and 23rd in 2010.
The reason Armstrong refused to come clean before, he said, was because he got caught up in the "momentum" of his fame and popularity as an American treasure, a superhero who could do no wrong.
"It just gets going and I lost myself in all that," he told Winfrey.
Armstrong did have a bone to pick with former teammate Tyler Hamilton's claim, however, that he had failed a drug test during the Tour de Suisse in 2001, and then paid off the International Cycling Union to keep the results under wraps.
"I'm gonna tell you what's true and not true," he said, insisting that the UCI was the one who approached him for a donation. "That story is not true. No positive test, no paying off the lab, no secret meeting with the lab director."
But when addressing reports that he was ruthless in his determination to uphold his squeaky-clean image, Armstrong was a bit more cautious in his answers.
"There was never a directive" that the other members of his team had to take the drugs with him, he clarified, though he confessed: "I was a bully. I tried to control the narrative."
"At the time did it not feel wrong?" Winfrey asked incredulously.
"No," Armstrong replied. "Scary."
The second part of the 90-minute broadcast will be shown on Friday, Jan. 19, on the OWN Network.

Clinical Expertise
Constantly evolving disease patterns, subjective disease management, complex clinical trials, an inscrutable FDA, and the apparently irrational manner in which payers decide on reimbursement, is what makes this healthcare industry so challenging for those not deeply steeped in it. Each disease is different; appreciating the idiosyncrasies of each one is central to establishing development priorities, positioning new products, and conducting due diligence.
One hallmark of Health Advances' consulting is our knowledge of many diseases, the products used to treat these diseases, and the various approaches being explored to address the remaining unmet needs. Armed with databases and an incredible network of opinion leaders and industry contacts, our PhD's and MDs build upon a solid foundation of knowledge and informed instincts to make critical judgments on disease management paradigms, technology trends, and clinical events that will occur 10 to 15 years in the future. In an industry where value creation is so closely linked to reducing risk, anticipating the evolution of therapy in a disease state is essential for effective decision-making.
Case Study
Facing multiple possible lead indications, we helped our client define a logical development path to minimize risk and optimize value.
