ProsIf you get the chance of actually working with/interacting with the executive team you quickly realize how much they care about the company and those who work within it.
The majority of the "individual contributors" are some of the brightest, hard working and fun to be around people that I have ever had the pleasure of working along side with.ConsSome groups/departments are great to work in/with, other groups I would tell people to avoid which explains the mixed reviews on here.
Lack of opportunity to grow/advance.Advice to ManagementAdviceThere is a break down between the executive team and the "workers" somewhere in middle management that is preventing the company from being "great". Maybe more interaction between the executive team and the "individual contributors" would do some good. Make a point of having lunch with someone new once a week on the "lower end" of the workforce in an informal setting so folks can see how you really are and not the trickle down approach which isn't really working. (Very few people outside of middle management could even tell you where the CEO's office even is)

This shoe fits true to size however it is cutting into the back of heel at the ankle. The backing of the shoe has a short curve into the heel that is really uncomfy. I might have a blister by the end of the day :( The toe box is nice and wide tho; totally comfy, and the velvety material is nice. Still, I do recommend to others since it may just be me it cuts into.
I am in love with these simple chic flats. So happy I took the chance in ordering them in a 1/2 size larger. They fit perfectly! They'll be perfect for the first day of school paired with my adorable striped flowy skirt! 5 stars lulu"s!
These are my first d'orsay style flat purchase, and I couldn't be happier. They are simple and just a bit different, and would go with a lot of different outfits. The price kind of helped me to take the chance on these, and for a $20- something pair of shoes, they are great! I ordered a half size smaller like the description suggests and they fit perfect. I love that they have some traction on the bottom, I walked a lot in them and never came close to slipping. Theres not much in the way of padding or support, but they are not uncomfortable- more like walking in a flat sandal. kind of rubbed the back of my left ankle, but thats nothing I haven't dealt with in the name of new shoes.

The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62×39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. Its complete designation, SKS-45, is an initialism for Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945 (Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова, 1945; Self-loading Carbine of (the) Simonov system, 1945), or SKS 45. In the early 1950s, the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front-line service and replaced it with the AK-47; however, the SKS remained in second-line service for decades. It is still used as a ceremonial arm today. The SKS was widely exported, and was also produced by some former Eastern Bloc nations as well as China, where it was designated the "Type 56", East Germany as the Karabiner S and in North Korea as the "Type 63". The SKS is currently popular on the civilian surplus market in many countries, including the United States, Canada and New Zealand. It was one of the first weapons chambered for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, which was also used later in the AK-47.
The SKS has a conventional layout, with a wooden stock and rifle grip. The SKS is a gas-operated weapon that has a spring-loaded bolt carrier and a gas piston rod that work the action via gas pressure pushing against them. Also, it has a "tilting bolt" action locking system. The SKS is shorter and less powerful than the semi-automatic rifles that preceded it, such as the Soviet SVT-40. However, the SKS has a 4-inch longer barrel than AK-series rifles, which replaced it; as a result, it has a slightly higher muzzle velocity.
The SKS's ten-round box magazine is fed from a stripper clip and rounds stored in the magazine can be removed by depressing a magazine catch located forward of the trigger guard (thus opening the "floor" of the magazine and allowing the rounds to fall out).[2] In typical military use the stripper clips are disposable. If necessary they can be reloaded multiple times and reused.
While early Soviet models had spring-loaded firing pins, most variants of the SKS have a free floating firing pin within the bolt. Because of this design, care must be taken during cleaning (especially after long storage) to ensure that the firing pin does not stick in the forward position within the bolt. SKS firing pins that are stuck in the forward position have been known to cause accidental "slamfires" (uncontrolled automatic fire that empties the magazine, starting when the bolt is released). This behavior is less likely with the hard primer military-spec ammo for which the SKS was designed, but as with any rifle users should properly maintain their firearms. For collectors, slamfires are more likely when the bolt still has remnants of Cosmoline embedded in it. The firing pin is triangular in cross section, and slamfires can also result if the firing pin is inserted upside down.
In most variants (Yugoslav models being the most notable exception), the barrel is chrome-lined for increased wear and heat tolerance from sustained fire and to resist corrosion from chlorate-primed corrosive ammunition, as well as to facilitate cleaning. Chrome bore lining is common in military rifles. Although it can diminish actual accuracy, this is not a real limit on practical accuracy in a weapon of this type.
The front sight has a hooded post. "The rear sight is an open notch type which is adjustable for elevation from 100 to 1,000 metres (110 to 1,090 yd). There is also an all purpose "battle" setting on the sight ladder (marked "П"), set for 300 metres (330 yards). This is attained by moving the elevation slide to the rear of the ladder as far as it will go.".[2][3] "The Yugoslav M59/66A1 has folddown luminous sights for use when firing under poor light conditions, while the older M59 and M59/66 do not."[2]
All military SKSs have a bayonet attached to the underside of the barrel, which is extended and retracted via a spring-loaded hinge. Both blade and spike bayonets were produced.[2] Some versions, such as the Yugoslavian-made M59/66 variant, are also equipped with a grenade launching attachment.[2]
The SKS is easily field stripped and reassembled without any tools other than an unfired cartridge. The rifle has a cleaning kit stored in a trapdoor in the buttstock, with a cleaning rod running under the barrel, in the same style as the AK-47. In common with some other Soviet-era designs, it trades some accuracy for ruggedness, reliability, ease of maintenance, ease of use, and low manufacturing cost.
During World War II, many countries realized that existing rifles, such as the Mosin–Nagant, were too long and heavy and fired powerful cartridges that were effective in medium machine guns with a range in excess of 2,000 metres (2,200 yd), creating excessive recoil. These cartridges, such as the 8×57mm Mauser, .303 British, .30-06 Springfield, and 7.62×54mmR were effective in rifles to ranges of up to 1,000 metres (1,100 yards); however, it was noted that most firefights took place at maximum ranges of between 100 and 300 metres (110 and 330 yards). Only a highly trained specialist, such as a sniper, could employ the full-power rifle cartridge to its true potential. Both the Soviet Union and Germany realized this and designed new weapons for smaller, intermediate-power cartridges. The U.S. fielded an intermediate round in the .30 U.S., now known as the .30 Carbine, and M1 carbines were fielded in large numbers but not as a replacement for the 30-06 round in general use.
The German approach was the production of a series of intermediate cartridges and rifles in the interwar period, eventually developing the Maschinenkarabiner, or machine-carbine, which later evolved into the Sturmgewehr 44 Sturmgewehr, or "storm rifle", which was produced during the war, chambered in the 7.92×33mm Kurz intermediate round.
The Soviet Union type qualified a new intermediate round in 1943, at the same time it began to field the Mosin–Nagant M44 carbine as a general issue small arm. However, the M44, which had a side-folding bayonet and shorter overall length, still fired the full-powered round of its predecessors. A small number of SKS rifles were tested on the front line in early 1945 against the Germans in World War II.[4]
Design-wise, the SKS relies on the AVS-36 (developed by the same designer, Simonov) to a point that some consider it a shortened AVS-36, stripped of select-fire capability and re-chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge.[5] Of course, this viewpoint is problematic, as the AVS uses a sliding block bolt locking device, while the SKS employs a more reliable tilting-bolt design, which is an entirely different style. As the bolt mechanism is one of the defining features of a rifle, having a different bolt means the SKS and AVS merely appear similar in layout, while differing vastly in bolt lockup, caliber, size, and that one has a fixed magazine and the other has a detachable magazine. It also owes a debt to the SVT-40 and M44 that it replaced, incorporating both the semi-automatic firepower of the SVT (albeit in a more manageable cartridge) and the carbine size and integral bayonet of the bolt-action M44.
In 1949, the SKS was officially adopted into the Soviet Army, manufactured at the Tula Armory from 1949 until 1955 and the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant in 1953 and 1954. Although the quality of Soviet carbines manufactured at these state-run arsenals was quite high, its design was already obsolete compared to the Kalashnikov which was selective-fire, lighter, had three times the magazine capacity, and had the potential to be less labor-intensive to manufacture. Gradually over the next few years, AK-47 production increased until the extant SKS carbines in service were relegated primarily to non-infantry and to second-line troops. They remained in service in this fashion even as late as the 1980s, and possibly the early 1990s. To this day, the SKS carbine is used by some ceremonial Russian honor guards, much the same way the M14 Rifle is within the United States; it is far less ubiquitous than the AK-47 but both original Soviet SKS rifles and copies can still be found today in civilian hands as well as in the hands of third-world militias and insurgent groups.
The SKS was to be a gap-filling firearm manufactured using the proven operating mechanism design of the 14.5×114mm PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle and using proven milled forging manufacturing techniques. This was to provide a fall-back for the radically new and experimental design of the AK-47, in the event that the AK proved to be a failure. In fact, the original stamped receiver AK-47 had to be quickly redesigned to use a milled receiver which delayed production, and extended the SKS carbine's service life.
Almost as soon as the SKS was brought into service, it was made obsolete for Soviet purposes by the new AK-47. However, it found a long second life in the service of the Chinese army, who found it well suited to their own style of warfare, the "People's War" whose main actors were highly mobile, self-reliant guerrilla bands and rural militias protecting their own villages. In People's War the emphasis was on long-range sniping, spoiling attacks, and ambushes, and for this the Chinese army preferred its version of the SKS (the Type 56 carbine) to the AK pattern.[6]
From its introduction in 1956, the Type 56/SKS remained the workhorse of the People's Liberation Army for 30 years. In 1968, the army was briefly re-equipped with the unsuccessful Type 63 automatic rifle, which had been intended to combine the sustained firepower of China's first AK variant (confusingly called the "Type 56 assault rifle") with the precise semi-automatic fire of the SKS/Type 56 carbine and replace both of those separate weapons. However, by the mid-1970s, all manner of problems were plaguing the type 63 rifle. Troops clamored to be given back their carbines, which had been redistributed to local militia units, and the army staff abandoned the Type 63 and returned the Type 56 carbine (SKS) and Type 56 assault rifle (AK) to service. The standard practice was for squad leaders and assistant squad leaders to carry an assault rifle and for most other soldiers to carry a carbine, so that a front-line infantry squad fielded two assault rifles, two light machine guns, and seven carbines. However, after the beginning of China's 1979 border war with Vietnam, combat units found that the carbine's capacity for long-range precision fire was wasted in the mountain jungles of the border region and units were hastily re-equipped with assault rifles. Guns of the AK family (including both the Chinese army's Type 56 auto and the Vietnamese army's AK-47s and AKM) are for structural reasons relatively inaccurate, and because the Chinese army has historically favored precision fire (despite always having weapons ill-suited to that task), the Sino-Vietnamese war directly hastened development of the PLA's Type 81 automatic rifle. By the time border conflict broke out again between China and Vietnam in 1983, the Chinese military had already been completely re-equipped with their more accurate, precise Type 81 auto.[7]
Many surplus SKS rifles were disposed of in the 1990s, and photographs and stories exist of SKS rifles used by guerrilla fighters in Bosnia, Somalia and throughout Africa and Southeast Asia[8] during the 1990s and well into the 21st century. Several African, Asian, and Middle Eastern armies still use the SKS.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union shared the design and manufacturing details with its allies, and as a result, many variants of the SKS exist. Some variants use a 30-round AK-47 style magazine (Chinese Type 63), gas port controls, flip-up night sights, and prominent, muzzle-mounted grenade launchers (Yugoslav M59/66, possibly North Korean Type 63). In total, SKS rifles were manufactured by the Soviet Union, China, Yugoslavia, Albania, North Korea, Vietnam, and East Germany (Kar. S) with limited pilot production (Model 56) in Romania and Poland (Wz49). Physically, all are very similar, although the NATO-specification 22mm grenade launcher of the Yugoslav version, and the more encompassing stock of the Albanian version are visually distinctive. Early versions of Chinese Type 56s (produced 1956–1971) used a vertically aligned blade, whereas the majority of Chinese carbines made after 1971 used a spike bayonet[citation needed]. Many smaller parts, most notably the sights and charging handles, were unique to different national production runs. A small quantity of SKS carbines manufactured in 1955–56 were produced in China with Russian parts, presumably as part of a technology sharing arrangement. Many Yugoslav M59/66 series rifles were exported to Uruguay and Mozambique[citation needed]; the Mozambique versions having teakwood stocks, the wood supplied by that nation. The vast majority of Yugoslav M59 and M59/66s have elm, walnut and beech stocks. Russian SKS's had stocks of Arctic Birch (or "Russian Birch"), and the Chinese were of Catalpa wood ("Chu wood").[9] SKS carbines have also made appearances in recent conflicts in Africa, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Today, the SKS is in service with Cambodia, Laos, China, North Korea and Vietnam, as well as many other countries in Africa. SKS rifles have been seen in the hands of pro-Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine as of May 2014.[10]
Nations that utilized the SKS but did not receive manufacturing rights included Afghanistan, Congo, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Mongolia, Morocco, the United Arab Republic (Egypt), and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.
After World War II, the SKS design was licensed or sold to a number of the Soviet Union's allies, including the China, the SFR Yugoslavia, Albania, North Korea, Vietnam, the German Democratic Republic, Romania and Poland. Most of these nations produced nearly identical variants, with the most common modifications being differing styles of bayonets and the 22 mm rifle grenade launcher commonly seen on Yugoslavian models.
Differences from the "baseline" late Russian Tula Armory/Izhevsk Armory SKS:
There is some debate as to the relative manufacturing quality of each nation's SKS production. The Chinese SKSs varied significantly even among new rifles with some having screwed in barrels, milled trigger groups and bolt carriers with lightening reliefs cut into them being at the top end and cheaper rifles having pinned barrels, stamped trigger groups and slab-sided bolt carriers – though overall quality and serviceability remained high. Yugoslav types are generally considered to be better made than Chinese, yet the Chinese types typically have chrome-lined barrels while the Yugoslav versions do not, resulting in some Yugoslavian carbines having bores in considerably worse condition than even the cheapest Chinese SKSs. While often encountered in well-used condition, Romanian carbines were as well-built as the Soviet versions. In general, carbines from any of the preceding nations are considered high-quality, durable, and reliable arms despite manufacturing differences.[citation needed]
The interchangeability of many parts has resulted in carbines on the U.S. market that are a mixture of different parts of varying quality, sometimes including parts from different countries, often with non-standard after-market parts. Such rifles are usually referred to as "parts guns" and are generally considered the lowest-quality carbines encountered.
East German and Albanian SKSs bring a higher price than those of other countries. Soviet and Romanian carbines have largely reached price parity, with Chinese carbines somewhat lower in price. The stock on the Albanian versions being of a slightly different manufacture and being rarer due to low production numbers. There were approximately 18,000 Albanian SKSs manufactured during the late 1960s until 1978, and of those, approximately half were destroyed. Most of the remaining East German SKSs had been sold/transferred to Croatia in the early 1990s.
The SKS is popular on the civilian surplus market, especially in Canada and the United States. Because of their historic and novel nature, Soviet and European SKS carbines are classified by the BATF as "Curio & Relic" items under U.S. law, allowing them to be sold with features that might otherwise be restricted. Chinese manufactured rifles, even the rare early "Sino-Soviet" examples, are not so classified, though the "Sino-Soviet" rifles qualify for automatic Curio & Relic status due to being manufactured over 50 years ago. Because of the massive size of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, over 8 million Chinese SKS rifles were manufactured during their 20 years of use making the Chinese SKS one of the most mass-produced military rifles of all time although still far behind its successor the AK-47.
In Canada, the large flux of imported SKS rifles has driven prices down to around $200–$300 per Russian SKS. The Chinese Norinco SKS can be bought for slightly less. As with most military surplus rifles, they are coated in cosmoline for the preservation of the firearm while under storage for decades at a time. Along with a large supply of bulk 7.62 x 39 surplus ammunition, SKS rifles have become a popular firearm for civilian ownership.
In Australia, the Chinese SKS rifle (along with the Soviet SKS rifle) was very popular with recreational hunters and target shooters during the 1980s and early 1990s before semi-automatic rifles were restricted from legal ownership in 1996. Since the introduction of the 1996 gun restrictions in Australia, the Mosin-Nagant series of bolt-action rifles and carbines have now filled the void created when the SKS was restricted from legal ownership.
In the early 1990s, the Chinese SKS rapidly became the "poor man's deer rifle" in some Southern areas of the United States due to its low price, lower even than such old favorites in that role as the Marlin 336. Importation of the Chinese SKS into the U.S.A. was banned in 1994.
Due to its relatively low cost and widespread availability and usage, the SKS has spawned a growing market for both replacement parts and accessories. Many aftermarket parts are available to modify the carbine—sometimes so considerably that it bears little resemblance to the original firearm. This may include items such as synthetic stocks, pistol grips, higher capacity magazines, replacement receiver covers (to allow the mounting of scopes, lasers, etc.), different muzzle brakes, recoil buffers, bipods, and more.
The carbine's integral 10-round magazine is not an issue in those states and nations which prohibit higher-capacity magazines, except Canada,[38] and New Zealand. In the case for Canada, the SKS is classified as a non-restricted firearm and the magazine must be pinned to five rounds or the rifles must be retrofitted with five-shot magazines, while New Zealand's arm code states that an A class center fire, self-loading rifle must have no more than seven rounds in the magazine (this only applies to guns on an a-cat licence, those on an e-cat have no magazine limit). Where higher capacity magazines are legally permitted, there are a number of secondary market vendors that sell higher capacity magazines of up to 30 rounds (or more). These secondary market magazines may be installed by first removing the fixed OEM magazine (a process that involves the removal of the trigger group assembly with a pin punch, screwdriver, bullet-tip, or similar device). However, although the 7.62x39mm round is generally compared to the American Winchester .30-30, many states have laws against hunting rifles with magazines of more than five rounds. Magazine plugs limiting the magazine to five rounds must be used for hunting in these states.
While aftermarket detachable magazines may be simple to install, doing so may be illegal under certain circumstances or even in some vicinities. SKS rifles with detachable magazines are banned in the U.S. states of California, New York and New Jersey. They are also banned in Cook County, Illinois, which includes Chicago and many suburbs, although as of the 2010 McDonald v. Chicago US Supreme Court decision, the City of Chicago ordinance does not disallow removable magazines, creating a confusing situation for firearm owners.
An often overlooked[citation needed] law in the U.S., with regards to the modifications of the SKS is U.S.C. 922 (r), which regulates imported rifles with certain features the BATFE defines as not being suitable for sporting purposes. This law requires a certain number of "compliance parts" of U.S. manufacture to be installed on any modified SKS.

Help! My cockatiel won't stop lay eggs...what should I do?
My 1.5 year old female cockatiel won't stop laying eggs. I am worried in the order of her health. She's incredibly difficult to give her veterinarian prescribed oral calcium supplement to, though she does chew on her cuttle bone. She shares a cage next to a male budgie who has noticeably become her companion, and have plenty of out of cage time as the door to the cage is only shut at darkness. I attempted to better regulate the sleep with a consistent schedule so that there be sufficient dark time. What else can I do short of seperating my two little friends, which I really would not like to. Thanks!
to lend a hand with her calcium intake offer her boiled Egg Shells, crumbled them up and offer contained by a treat cup. Yes try to shorten the days, give her only 8 hours of day muted, do not offer her a nest or nesting material.
If you are removing the eggs after she lays them then she will continue to lay more eggs to replace the ones that were taken. Also, it may be a honest idea to separate them if they are mating. Sometimes correct pet stores carry wooden eggs that look like the real entry, therefor you can take the real eggs away and replace them beside the dummy eggs and she will most likely stop laying eggs. Good luck with it!
You didn't say if you were removing the eggs. Do not remove them. Leave them till she abandon them.You can also replace them with dummy eggs which you can get on line or some economically stocked pet stores. I got some wooden ones from a bag of craft parts in a hobby shop approaching Michael's.
The calcium from your vet is excellent. Sometimes my birds will take meds if I just hold up the syringe and consent to them bite it---Squirt! This only works once with Baytril.
In desperation you can try Lupron shots (hormone) to help stop lay.They don't always work, sometimes must be repeated,and will empty your wallet in a hurry. They are a desperation tactic after adjectives else has failed. When they do work they solve the problem till the next bout of eggs. I own friends that tried the lupron. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. One had to go so far as to have her Alexandrian spayed (or doesn`t matter what you call the birdie equivalent)
Keep up with the calcium and really try to shorten her day, That sometimes works comparatively well.
The eggs most likely arent furtile! It is complex to breed and have baby cockatiel babies.. Females will lay eggs with out a mannish .. its normal or go ask your VET!
Answers: Dont allow them to look around in depressing places for nesting places, dont provide nesting materials, and put a grate at the bottom of the cage to discourage shredding paper and laying eggs on the round up floor. Leave the eggs in for at least 3 weeks. Feed her a nutritious, low-fat diet, as high-fat diets encourage breeding. Lots of veggies and fruit is great. Dont provide her many baths, dont pet her very much, and if you do hold on to the petting to the head. Many ppl dont realize it but petting a birds back will stimulate sexual behavior. Spinach is also a good source of calcium. You can check out of the two together.
nurture her some fresh cut up green beans It worked for me.
give me the eggs i enjoy a girl cockatiel named angel put them in different cages or agree to me have some cute little baby cockatiels mine wont have any babies
Let her always lay on the eggs until she is sick of it and leaves them then remove them. If in that is a nest box in cage take it out as this encourage egg laying. Also do not pet the bird on her back at all or permit her try to feed you. As she sees the cockatiel as her mate this is a hard one as she may hang on to laying even if you do separate and put in different shut within but same room. make sure she is getting 12 hours of light and 12 of foggy as that often cuts down on breeding sx. Make sure she has additional calcium which it sounds like you are doing. Cuttle bones, crushed oyster shell, calcium from vet, boiled eggs cut up with shell on them. You can also get some virtual eggs at pet store and replace the real ones she will not know difference and they will not go bad. I hold a lone bird that lays every month no matter what I do. I just make certain she has much calcium and does not become egg bound. If you have to separate them see what happens whether you put them side by side in different cages. Other than that don't think near is much you can do. Sorry. :)

Pleasantly surprised
Posted Apr 28, 2014Pros: Modern decor, clean. Room is comfortable and nicely decorated, good size for NYC, comfy beds. Great breakfast (included), nice rooftop bar.
Cons: The Wi-fi connection (free) was unstable. No biggie to me, I just didn't use it.
Location: Excellent location, 2 blocks from Empire State building, Manhattan Mall, 10 minute walk to Times Square, too many things to name.
Having been in NYC before I wasn't expecting a lot of comfort from this 3 star hotel. I was very glad to have chosen this hotel from the minute I stepped into the modern lobby. Everything looked much better than in the pictures, I had a excellent experience throughout the whole 5 nights I spent there.

Raising Chickens
Raising Chickens
It is very important when you start out raising chickens for eggs to make sure that you are allowed to keep chickens in your backyard. You will need to check with your local authorities to make sure that you are able to keep chickens and see what restrictions they may have. i.e. some councils will not allow you to have roosters but will allow hens.
The reason why this is important is because you don't want to go to all the trouble of setting up your chickens only to find that you are breaking the laws in your area. If you don't check with your local authority then you may run the risk of prosecution.
Roosters are not allowed in some cities.
Another important consideration when raising chickens for eggs is whether you raise your chickens from eggs i.e hatch them yourself or whether you buy them as baby chicks and raise them. You can also buy chickens that are ready to lay. For those who are new to raising chickens I would recommend buying chickens that are ready to lay.
One, you don't have to wait long for your chickens to start laying and two, the older chickens are not as vulnerable as the young chicks and are much more likely to survive. It's critical that you buy from a reputable supplier because the health of the laying hens is important for their egg production and also makes it easier for you to care for them.
You don't have to have an expensive chicken coop for your chickens. There are many ready made chicken coops for sale out there but it is really not too hard to build your own. If one of your motivations for raising chickens for eggs is saving money then buying an expensive chicken coop will defeat that purpose.
There are many books available on building your own chicken coop with easy to follow plans using cheap easily available materials. All you need to do is decide how many chickens you want, (I would recommend 2 to 4 chickens for a city backyard.) and make sure that you find a chicken coop design that will suit that amount of chickens. The less space you have available means the less chickens you should have.
Instead of complicating raising chickens for eggs by having a huge flock, concentrate your efforts on a small number of chickens. Most chickens in full production will lay an egg each day. If you have too many chickens you may find it difficult to use all the eggs that they will produce.
I have found that having 2 to 4 chickens will give you plenty of eggs for your family and friends and you will not be overwhelmed with eggs that you cannot use. Concentrate your efforts by only having a few hens and you will find that raising chickens for eggs is not as hard as you may think.
Chickens need to have a place to roost at night which is protected by the weather and they need to be fed and their water checked every day. They also need a nesting box to lay their eggs in which you put in your chicken coop. If you have children, you will find that they love collecting eggs as it is a lot of fun and you can also get them to help with feeding and checking the water as well.
Chickens need a variety of foods to produce great tasting eggs and the best way to achieve this is to feed them all your kitchen food scraps. Chickens will eat just about anything and what they are doing is transforming your food scraps into fantastic garden fertilizer. Chickens will also benefit from eating layer pellets or grain to maintain their egg production and will quickly turn any weeds and garden waste you have into fertilizer as well.

Pre – Made Chicken Coops
If you are not a handy person and don't want to build your own chicken coop, you may want to buy a pre-made chicken coop. When you add up the cost of materials and your time it often works out cheaper than designing and building your own. Most of the pre-made chicken coops available have everything that your chickens will need such as roosts and nesting boxes. They often have handy design features that you may not have thought of such as storage areas. These Coops below are a good cross section of what is currently available and offer good value.
Pawhut Deluxe Backyard Chicken Coop / Hen House w/ Outdoor Run
This coop is a high quality larger size chicken coop which is made of fully treated and
grooved wood. Coated with water based preservative. Coming with a two section
nesting box for egg laying. This coop can be wide opened to be a "fresh air school", and
closed to make a controlled-environment coop. This coop is well designed with one
Living House, a two section Nesting Box and a Backyard Run.
This Chicken Coop is perfect for 2 to 4 Chickens and has received very good reviews
from those who have already purchased it. It is sturdy and the price is very reasonable.
Wood Chicken Coop Hen House with Run
This chicken coop gives your chickens the ability to move seamlessly from a comfortable enclosure to an outdoor protected space. The indoor facility includes multiple roosting poles and a large nesting box that is able to hold multiple chickens. A small entrance with a travel ramp allows your chickens to run in and out easily, without being wide enough to let the elements in when the weather is bad. This attaches to a wide open fenced enclosure that allows them plenty of room to move around. The roof is split into multiple segments so the roof may be peaked, closed or completely opened up. This is a perfect unit for someone who has a few chickens, but still needs to minimize the space that the coop will be using. This Coop is suitable for 4 to 6 Chickens.
Precision Pet Cape Cod Chicken Coop
The Cape Cod can comfortably house up to four rabbits or chickens. The Precision Pet Cape Cod Chicken Coop or Rabbit Hutch provides a quality shelter that you and your pets will love. The two front doors provide easy access to the shelter's interior whether you need to reach your pets or simply perform routine maintenance. The nesting box with roosting bar is ideal if you are using the Cape Cod as a large outdoor chicken coop. A removable pan under the retreat makes cleaning easy whether you keep rabbits or chickens. This shelter is made with high quality fir wood. An internal ramp provides pets with easy access between the raised retreat and the spacious run where your pets can stretch their legs. Zinc-coated wire mesh encloses the run but provides ample ventilation. That way, whether you use the Cape Cod as a premium rabbit hutch or chicken coop, your pets will always be protected from predators and the elements.The Precision Pet Cape Cod Chicken Coop or Rabbit Hutch is designed for easy maintenance and assembly.
Best Pre Made Chicken Coop
I have been looking around for the best pre made chicken coop I can find for a reasonable price and I have found that a lot of them are flimsy and not of good quality. However I just came across this plastic Chicken Coop available from Amazon which has received rave reviews. It is perfect for someone who wants to start raising chickens now. Apparently it only takes 30 minutes to an hour to slot together and it is water proof and easy to clean.

What is the best way to clean chicken eggs?
Question: What is the safest way to clean manure and dirt off of the shell of fresh eggs? I am just using warm water and a clean rag.
Answer: You can wash your eggs in water only if you plan to use them right away. By putting the eggs in water, you wash away the bloom from the egg, a protective layering that prevents bacteria from entering the egg. Therefore, if you want to store your eggs for use later, you should not put them in water. If you must wash the eggs, use HOT running water. A good idea is to get a soft brush and brush the dirt and manure from the shell.
My Chickens Have Stopped Laying Eggs.
The most common reasons for chickens to stop laying eggs are decreasing day length, moulting, disease, broodiness, poor nutrition, and stress.
1. Moulting
Moulting is a natural process that allows the hen to replace old worn feathers and at the same time rejuvenates her oviduct the organ that "makes" eggs. This allows the hen to increase its rate of egg production and produce higher quality eggs when it returns to lay. With the moult the hen puts all of her energy into feather growth leaving little for egg production. Every year I have first time chicken owners contacting me and asking why the hens that have been laying all year have suddenly stopped.
2. Decreasing Day Length
Natural moulting is a seasonal process related to changes in day length. Once the daylight hours begin to decline this will trigger moulting and consequently your hens will stop laying eggs for a few weeks. This usually occurs in the fall after chicks have fledged.
Often your whole flock will stop laying at the same time. Commercial growers use artificial lighting to prevent their hens moulting all at once and consequently they may often moult at any time.
3. Stress
There are many causes of stress, from predators hanging around or even a loud noise which can cause the hens to stop laying. You may have moved them into a new environment which is definitely stressful for them. Not only do they have to get used to their new home they also have to establish a new pecking order.
Do everything you can to make their life comfortable and they should reward you and start laying eggs.
Some hens of certain breeds are prone to becoming broody. This means that they will try to incubate their eggs to make them hatch. When this happens they stop laying eggs. They are more likely to become broody if they are allowed to accumulate eggs in a nest. The hens will sit on the eggs and get very annoyed when you try to take the eggs from the nest.
To avoid this situation it is best to collect the eggs at least once a day which will prevent the hen from building up a clutch of eggs. This is also important to preserve the freshness and quality of eggs for human consumption.
5. Disease
Diseases will stop your hen laying even if the symptoms they have are not obvious. Keep an eye on the hen and if any disease symptoms appear you will need to treat the disease before your hen begins laying again.
Hens need a balanced and adequate diet to maintain egg production. Many backyard flock owners don't realize how much calcium a hen needs to produce eggs. To maintain egg production you need to feed your flock a prepared layer ration or at least provide some source of calcium. e.g ground limestone or oyster shell that birds can eat when they need to. You should be able to source layer ration or oyster shell at your local feed store.
7. Age
Hens can live for many years. As with other species an aging hen will eventually lose its ability to be reproductive and will stop producing eggs. Protect your hens from the elements and predators. Make sure that their hen house is clean and well maintained and make sure that they have a constant supply of nutritious food and water. This will result in high egg production and many quality eggs for your family to enjoy.
Do you need a rooster for your hens to lay eggs?
Do you need a Rooster for your hens to lay eggs?
No you do not need a Rooster for your hens to lay eggs. Hens will lay eggs without a rooster but if you want your eggs to be fertilised so that they can produce chicks then you will need a rooster.
If you are planning on having a small backyard flock then it is best not to have a rooster as they can be noisy (crowing at daybreak) and some of them can get quite aggressive. For those of you that want to breed chicks from your hens then a rooster is necessary.
Chicken Feeders
Chicken Feeders
Having an automatic Chicken Feeder that hangs from the ceiling is a really good idea for the grain or layer pellets you will be feeding your chickens to keep them laying. This feed is the most expensive part of looking after your chickens so you don't want it contaminated with chicken manure. You can buy a relatively cheap hanging feeder or you can buy or make a treadle feeder which although more expensive will save you from food wastage. The feeders below are perfect for small back yard flocks.They are at a very competitive price and they guarantee that your chickens will get fed even when you are not there.
Miller 9112 12lb. Galvanized Hanging Poultry Feeder
This hanging feeder is made of heavy galvanized steel, is strong and will last a long time unlike the plastic versions. It has a 12 lb hanging feeder tube with a 12 feeder pan.It has rolled edges for safety.

Chicken Coops
The design of your Chicken Coop is very important. There are so many styles and designs of chicken coops, it can all get very confusing. Do you buy one, and if you do what is a good design? If you make your own, how do you know you have everything you need to keep your chickens healthy. A good way to start is to make sure your chicken coop fits the basic principles outlined below. Whether it is the most luxurious or the most basic chicken coop you won't go wrong if you follow these tips.
A chicken coop can be very simple as this mobile coop above.
1. Space.
If you don't have much space then you need to restrict your flock to two or three chickens. Chickens need between one and two square foot each in their chicken coop and between two to four feet each in their chicken run.
Bantams need less space and the larger breeds need more, so the size of your hens does matter. If you don't take this into consideration you risk your chickens getting diseases and fighting each other. If you can let your chickens roam during the day in a large enclosed area then all the better. Just make sure that they are locked up in their coop at night.
2. Predators
This is so important as chickens are extremely vulnerable to all types of predators. From dogs and cats to wild and feral animals that may live in your area, they will all love to get a hold of your chickens. Foxes especially love chickens and because they can climb fences, the coop must be completely enclosed and be secure along the bottom, so that predators cannot dig their way in.
Here is an example of a very secure chicken coop and run, totally enclosed with bird aviary wire.
3. Protection from heat and cold
If you live in a cold climate having insulation or a light may be required in your coop to keep your chickens warm. Recent studies have proven that chickens will lay much more consistently if they are kept warm than those who are not This may sound a bit too expensive for some people so a cheaper way to get around this is to buy a heap of straw bales amd when winter comes place these around the outside of your coop. This will prevent drafts and also insulate your coop really well. If you live in a hot climate your coop will benefit from being either shaded by a tree or by a building.
4. Ventilation.
Fresh air is vital so along the top of your coop have a thin strip of bird wire that allows the coop to receive fresh air but not cause a direct draught onto your chickens. Do not have your vents down the bottom of your coop as they will create a draught directly onto your chickens. Toxic fumes can build up inside an unventilated chicken coop from the chicken manure so this is very important and is something that can often be overlooked.
This Chicken Coop has excellent ventilation at the top of the coop with bird wire making it secure.
5. Flooring
If you are only going to have a few chickens and you have decided on a mobile chicken coop then the floor can be just the ground the coop is placed on. As you will be moving the coop around the chickens will be quite happy with the new grass they get every time they are moved. A dirt floor covered in straw or hay is also acceptable in a fixed coop but it has the disadvantage of allowing rats and mice in and can be difficult to keep clean. A concrete floor is the best and will keep out rodents and is easy to clean. Straw or hay is still a good idea to put on the floor as it soaks up the manure and apart from providing warmth the combination of straw and manure produces fantastic compost.
This fantastic chicken coop has a concrete floor, bricks around the bottom so no predators can dig their way in, great looking nesting boxes and a roost.
6. Nesting Boxes
Nesting Boxes for your Chicken Coop need to be at least a foot long by a foot deep. Wooden boxes are the best but they could also be made out of plastic if necessary. Place them at least a foot off the ground and if necessary have a wooden ramp so the chickens can get into them. To make it easy to collect the eggs you may want to make a box with a hinged lid that you can open from the outside of the coop. This means that you don't have to go inside the coop to collect the eggs. This can save you a lot of time and means that your children can collect the eggs without letting the chickens out. Put some straw, hay, woodshavings or even shredded paper in the boxes so that the chickens are comfortable and the eggs don't crack.
These nesting boxes have a hinged lid on the outside of the coop so that you can collect the eggs without going into the chicken coop.
7. Roosts
Chickens roost at night so you need to provide them with a roost to sleep on. Roosts are best made of wood and can be made from small tree branches, wooden poles, dowel, or even an old wooden ladder. Just make sure that the chickens are able to hang on with their feet and that they can sit there comfortably. Metal roosts are not suitable as they can get freezing cold in winter and very hot in summer.
8. Feeders
Automatic feeders are very handy, or you may choose to scatter the hens food daily in their run when you collect their eggs. This has its advantages as there is little waste. If you are going to buy an automatic feeder you may want to place it in the chicken coop to minimise rodents who will love to share your chickens food and also the local bird population who won't be able to resist a free feed. For this reason I also like to use bird avairy wire rather than chicken wire as the aviary wire has much smaller holes and other birds won't be able to get into your chicken coop. It is also good to hang your feeder from the ceiling about six inches from the ground. This also will reduce waste, discourage rodents and stop the chickens from scattering the food far and wide.
If you need a chicken feeder click on the link below.
The Automatic Feeder hangs from the ceiling.
9. Waterer's.
Fresh water is vital for keeping your chickens healthy. They need their water checked daily especially in hot weather. You will need a bowl that is deep enough for the water not to heat up too quickly but shallow enough so that the chickens are able to reach it easily. It also has to be in something large enough so that they can't tip it over. Having an automatic waterer is a good idea but you still need to regularly check that it is working properly and that your water source is reliable. Another hint if you are raising baby chicks. Their water bowl needs to be very shallow as they can drown if their bowl is too deep.
This automatic waterer has two nipples that release water when the chicken presses on it.
Your Chicken Coop should have a place for the birds to roost, good drainage, nesting boxes, a feeder, a waterer and enough space for the number of birds you are raising. You can have a permanent chicken coop. a mobile chicken coop, a premade chicken coop, a homemade chicken coop and they come in all shapes and sizes.

If you are planning on raising your chicks from eggs then you will need an incubator of some kind. Fertile eggs should hatch approximately 21 days after the hen has begun to sit on them. You can leave them with your broody hen to hatch or you can incubate them yourself using an incubator.
1. Heat up Incubator
You will need to get your incubator ready by heating it up and making sure that the temp is at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit before you put your eggs in. You can buy an incubator that does not require you to turn the eggs or you can buy
one that does require you to turn them. Some people prefer to turn them themselves so that they are more involved with the process and can keep an eye on the eggs.
2. Position the Eggs
An incubating egg should be set in a normal position as it would if you laid it on a flat surface. The large end should be slightly higher than the pointed end.

Dems wary of Thaksin's vote confidence
Ong-art fears 'illegal' acts to rig referendum

The Democrat Party yesterday expressed scepticism over ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's claim that the charter rewrite would easily pass a public referendum.
Democrat list-MP Ong-art Khlampaiboon said the ex-premier's confidence that more than 24 million people would vote to permit the entire charter to be rewritten indicated that he could be up to something.
During a phone-in to the red-shirt rally on Saturday night at Bonanza Khao Yai, Thaksin said the number required to pass the charter did not bother him.

What does it mean when Anti-lock brake light, trac off light, Service Vehicle soon come on when driving? After the low tracg light comes on.
Oldsmobile Q&A
Ask Your Question2000 Oldsmobile Alero Question: Anti-lock brake light, trac off light, Service Vehicle soon
Answer #1
Russ April 24, 2009, 12:24MasterThere is an intermittent fault with your anti-lock brake system. For some strange reason GM thinks they need to turn on three warning lights. I would suspect the fault is with one of the wheel speed sensors. There should be fault codes stored in the ABS module which can help the service technicians isolate the cause of your ABS fault.

DON'T CHANGE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR! The dealer charges $150 with tax for that part, and that's probably not the problem!
I had the exact same issue. Those 3 lights would come on either when I moved the car, or turned the wheel to the right. The Chevrolet mechanic next door checked the computer and it gave a fault code for the Left Wheel Speed Sensor. I changed the expensive part and the problem still existed.
After researching this online, I found that there were a lot of similar problems, but the fix was to replace the wiring harness for the sensor, not the sensor itself. When I inspected my harness, I immediatley found 1 of the 2 wires nearly broken in half. My break was right at the connector to the sensor, so I couldn't simply repair the wire. I had to replace the harness. It was VERY easy (20 minutes max). The dealer stocks this harness ($110 with tax). I got it aftermarket online for $40 with the clips and butt connectors. Be sure to tape up the repair sight very tight to keep the moisture out of the harness. I had ramps to drive up onto so the work could be done from underneath the car. Otherwise, you will probably have to take the wheel off to get to the harness.

Alero 2001, February 05, 2013, 22:03RookieI had the same symptoms with my 2001 Alero, and went to a reliable shop and they told me that both of my front ABS sensors were sending back faults because both sets of wires were broken. for the driver's side it was possible to fix it by repairing the wire. On the passenger side next week I will go back to get the wiring harness and wire all the way back to the Module replaced. Total Cost-including diagnosis, repair of one side, and replacement of other side (150.00 CAN), so yes beware when you are told that it is the sensors or for that matter the Module. It could be something less major. The only codes coming back were related to the ABS in my case, so yes it can be that the "Service Engine Light" is on with no problem with the engine. Good luck, keep your car looking good!

The Hand of Borgus Weems
Episode Reviews (1)
A man finds his right hand is possessed by an evil spirit, guiding him to murder.
This variant on "The Hands Of Orlac" derives from a short story by Georges Langelaan, the original author of "The Fly". It's a fairly predictable tale, quite nicely done, but without any very memorable aspects. The plot moves pretty much as you expect it to, right down to the ending, when a previously sceptical character finds that his own hand is now possessed, and that the evil spirit of the murderous (if not diabolic) Borgus Weems is still very much active in the world. Ray Milland is able to lend his cliche role a certain gravitas, and Patricia Donahue gives a negligible minor role more class than it may have had on the page.moreless

Nou Mestalla (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈnɔw mesˈtaʎa]) is a partially built 75,500-seat[1] football stadium in Valencia, Spain, intended as a replacement for Valencia CF's current stadium, Estadio Mestalla. The basic concrete structure of the stadium was built between August 2007 and February 2009, but work was then halted for financial reasons.
The stadium architects are Reid Fenwick Asociados and ArupSport, and the cost is estimated between 250 and 300 million euros. The design features a futuristic exterior, clad in aluminium and an interior of wood. It is being built on the site of a former factory in the neighbourhood of Benicalap.
The plans for the new stadium were unveiled on 10 November 2006, by former president Juan Soler and the club who unveiled details about the stadium and presented a short film about the stadium at the Museu Príncipe Felipe in Valencia. The work on Nou Mestalla began in August 2007. It was due to be completed in the early summer 2009 in time for the 2009–10 season, but due to financial problems this date was never met.
On 12 December 2011, the club announced that it had negotiated a deal with Bankia to complete the stadium and transfer the old Mestalla property to the bank, and that it expected to complete the stadium in approximately two years, but this deal later collapsed.[2][3]
On 26 May 2008, four construction workers lost their lives following the collapse of some scaffolding on the Nou Mestalla site. At midday on 28 May, trades union UGT and CC.OO. called a five-minute silence for the tragedy, which was observed throughout the Valencian Community in all sectors of industry.[4]

Loved the home comforts of this guest house. Ian couldn't do enough for us, pot of tea and biscuits on arrival, room 1 was perfect, very large and spotless. Breakfast was amazing, and location perfect for walking to Windermere and Bowness without having to take the car. Plenty of parking outside of the guest house also. Would highly recommend this guest house.
Nothing we didn't like but a lounge area would make this guest house perfect.

Everything , even the weather was good.
There was no down side
Our host Ian couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable. A cup of tea on arrival was a nice 'touch' and the breakfasts him and his wife produced were excellent. 20 mins walk one way took you down to Lake Windermere and there were some good restaurants 10 mins walk the other way, namely Francines and Cafe Italia. Good location from which to explore.
Nice view and sound of the stream. Ian was lovely and useful at all times. Close to both Windemere and Bowness for journey. Breakfasts were delicious!
TV was in the corner, but we didn't watch it much.
Freshly made breakfast.
Can hear footsteps from upstairs. Heating in toilet was on but did not help with getting warm.

Nothing that matters much.
- Great location, only 10 minute walk to the town. - Great breakfast; cereals, yogurts, fruits, full english etc. - Lovely room, we stayed in the classic double room and it was lovely. Very spacious bathroom too. - Ian was also a great host and we felt very well looked after.

staff was friendly ....rooms are nicely decorated & I just loved the breakfast
Lynn and Ian were extremely welcoming and friendly. The rooms are well furnished and clean and we were offered a variety of high quality food for breakfast. The guest house is close to local shops, cafés and restaurants and has easy access to the local area and beyond. Highly recommended!
