July 1914
Countdown to War
When a Serbian-backed assassin gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in late June 1914, the world seemed unmoved. Even Ferdinand's own uncle, Franz Josef I, was notably ambivalent about the death of the Hapsburg heir, saying simply, "It is God's will." Certainly, there was nothing to suggest that the episode would lead to conflict much less a world war of such massive and horrific proportions that it would fundamentally reshape the course of human events. As the author, a historian reveals in July 1914, World War I might have been avoided entirely had it not been for a small group of statesmen who, in the month after the assassination, plotted to use Ferdinand's murder as the trigger for a long-awaited showdown in Europe. The primary culprits, moreover, have long escaped blame. While most accounts of the war's outbreak place the bulk of responsibility on German and Austro-Hungarian militarism, the author draws on new evidence from archives across Europe to show that the worst offenders were actually to be found in Russia and France, whose belligerence and duplicity ensured that war was inevitable. Whether they plotted for war or rode the whirlwind nearly blind, each of the men involved, from Austrian Foreign Minister Leopold von Berchtold and German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Sazonov and French president Raymond Poincare sought to capitalize on the fallout from Ferdinand's murder, unwittingly leading Europe toward the greatest cataclysm it had ever seen. A revolutionary account of the genesis of World War I, this book tells the story of Europe's countdown to war from the bloody opening act on June 28th to Britain's final plunge on August 4th, showing how a single month, and a handful of men changed the course of the twentieth-century.

Armenian politicians confident that Turkey will recognize Genocide
April 24, 2014 - 19:35 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey will have to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide sooner or later, deputy foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said after his visit to Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial Thursday, April 24, according to ARKA.
"What's important is for us to be well prepared and consistent. Our consistency will produce a result sooner or later. Turkey will acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, with PM Erdogan's recent statement suggesting the fact," Kocharyan said.
"It is our hope and belief that the peoples of an ancient and unique geography, who share similar customs and manners will be able to talk to each other about the past with maturity and to remember together their losses in a decent manner. And it is with this hope and belief that we wish that the Armenians who lost their lives in the context of the early twentieth century rest in peace, and we convey our condolences to their grandchildren. Regardless of their ethnic or religious origins, we pay tribute, with compassion and respect, to all Ottoman citizens who lost their lives in the same period and under similar conditions," Erdogan's statement said.
The chief of the government staff Davit Harutyunyan believes that the day is near for Turkey to recognize the Genocide, with the condemnation of the crime as a task of the whole humanity.
He further urged Turkey to show political will and acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in the face of undeniable facts.
He also characterized Turkish PM Erdogan's statement as a political necessity, according to Novosti-Armenia.
Parliament speaker Eduard Sharmazanov named the international recognition of the Genocide among key priorities in Armenia's foreign policy. "Unless the international community recognizes and condemns this crime against humanity, they'll always be a risk of repetition of such atrocities in future," Sharmazanov said, according to Armenia Today.
He further slammed Turkey's denialist policy and urged Ankara to follow Germany's suit in apologizing to Jewish people and recognizing the Holocaust.
As the Central Election Committee chair Tigran Mukuchyan stressed, crimes like Genocide have no limitation period, for there are material and moral damages to be compensated.
The secretary of Prosperous Armenia faction Naira Zohrabyan slammed Turkish PM's condolence message as another one of Ankara's cynicisms.
She labeled the statement as Turkish leadership's demagogical move, meant to suggest Ankara's efforts to normalize ties with Armenia, Novosti-Armenia said.
Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan also slammed Erdogan's statement as an attempt to equalize the victims and the perpetrators. "Non-recognition of the Genocide is a perpetuation of the crime against humanity, which is a crime in itself," she stressed.
In conclusion, she expressed confidence that Turkey will sooner or later recognize the Genocide, Panorama.am said.

The Armenian Genocide
The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths reaching 1.5 million.
Top stories
The head of the Armenian delegation to the OSCE PA handed the Pan-Armenian Declaration to the OSCE PA President.
"I repeatedly stated that we don't have unlimited time for ratification of protocols. I regret that the message was left unheard," Sargsyan said.
The projects will also promote the integration of Syrian refugees in the country and assist children without parents.
Also, Abrahamyan said that a new ministry will be set up to deal with issues related to int'l economic integration and reforms.

Abbey Watkins does stunning pencil drawings. "The inspiration can come from anywhere, i find beauty in most things. A lot of my work is generated from fashion imagery, but i love to create my own ideas from other areas of interest such as music, film, the natural world, past fashions, dreams and utopian worlds."

Lucy and Gracie may be Irish setters, but the pair of pooches recently proved their blood runs red, white and blue.
Their owner, Mariann D'Alessandro of Harriman, captured a photo of them saluting Old Glory in their own way shortly after she hung a new flag outside her Cornstalk Heights home.
"It was a beautiful sunny day with intermittent soft breezes, which made the flag wave majestically at times," D'Alessandro said.
She and her husband, Ed, had just finished putting the new flag on a balcony flagpole for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday when they realized the dogs were missing.
"They are perpetually wherever we are, and I panicked somewhat, thinking that perhaps they had gotten out of the house," D'Ales-sandro said.
"I went back upstairs and, as I passed one of the bedrooms overlooking the balcony, the two of them were sitting, almost patriotically glued to the window, watching the flag."
Could learning the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" be far behind? Happy Fourth of July, Lucy and Gracie!

Trying to revive gardenia bonsai, need help!
A friend of mine got a gardenia bonsai as a gift and watered it too little. It dried out horribly, all the leaves shriveled up. I felt bad for it so I started watering it every day to see if it would come back to life. For about two weeks it did nothing. On the third week it started to sprout new baby leaves in a small section on the bottom. The rest of the tree is still shriveled and dry. Is the tree still salvagable? What should I do?
Sounds like you've made some progress in saving it.
Most of the tree may not come back, and then again it may.
If I were you I would look online for "Gardenia care" and see what else I could do for this little tree. I know there are specific fertilizers for gardenias but even a general fertilizer would help.
Hi Hawkeye03.
I recomend you put your bonsai in a homemade greenhouse. you find a lot information about make a greenhouse with PET bottles or plastic bags. Controlling the humidity is crucial to your plant survive.
Hope your bonsia make it.

New York: Apple Inc.'s iPads and other tablet computers are flying off the shelves this holiday season. Starting next year, growth is expected to slow. Tablet shipments will climb 54 percent this year to 221.3 million, before decelerating to 22 percent growth in 2014 and less than 10 percent in 2017, researcher IDC predicted Wednesday. The popularity of smartphones with bigger screens and the market saturation of tablets in the U.S. and other countries will spur the slowdown, said IDC, which previously estimated 2013 shipments of 227.4 million. This year, tablets are among the most popular holiday gift items after Apple, Samsung Electronics and Amazon.com introduced new devices in time for the shopping rush. Apple's dominance is being challenged by Samsung, Amazon and other rivals that are offering lower-cost tablets using Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Android will power 61 percent of the tablets shipped in 2013, up from 52 percent last year, while Apple's market share will fall to 35 percent from 46 percent, IDC said. By 2017, IDC predicts, Microsoft will be a bigger player with 10 percent of the tablet market, compared to 31 percent for Apple and 59 percent for Android.

Front end loader & mower recommendations or possibilities
Hi all â¦
I recently wondered into my friendly john deere dealer for parts for my old Scotts (made by Deere).
I shouldnâÂÂt have done that⦠I started lusting for the smallest JD units which had a front end loader on them (they were physically larger than I need)... Carp - I only went in there for some tire tubes ...
I was wondering if anyone out there has done any kind of conversion to their small rider / tractor which basically converted their riding / tractor to a small scale front loader ?
I donâÂÂt need a machine which is as large as those nice JDâÂÂs / I donâÂÂt have room for a larger machine like that. I donâÂÂt have all that much property (3 acres)⦠I darn well cant swing it financially.
I was wondering of there are any older riders / tractors out there which lend themselves to these types of conversions - or if there are kits out there for this conversion. Were there models available which would easily accept this modification?
I have a Scotts 2046 rider (1998) and was wondering if there was any chance to convert it)⦠I suspect a sturdy frame is a high priority with this type of arrangement, and guess the Scotts 2046 is not ready to deal with this sort of adaptation �" but I am not sureâ¦
I am NOT looking to move mountains, but moving around a little clean fill, top soil and light stone would be really handyâ¦
I guess the perfect candidate would be some type of mid-size riding mower / garden tractor which can power mowing deck (38-42/46 inches)on Thursday, and be moving clean fill on Saturday morning without me killing myself to convert it over...
Does this perfect (small ~ midsize) combination exist? If so - finding one in need of basic repairs might be my preferred route...
Your consideration and advice is greatly appreciated.
PS - If you have any photos of something you created or assembled - Id really like to see them... I am hoping for ideas which I can buy/assemble as I dont have much in the way of fabrication equipment - and little welding skills.
If you built your own and you have any recommended do's (and definitely dont's) please pass them along as well. I don't really want to make it if I dont have to.
Thx - Dave
And the other:
Here is a link that might be useful: P.F. Engineering
Here is a link that might be useful: Johnny Bucket for JD/Sabre/Scotts
If you check out the other sites listed you will see you can add a loader to almost any lawn or garden tractor.
I have made a loader for my 32 year old (Dayton) 990 MTD garden tractor. This tractor is a heavy duty tractor with a 3PH. I started out with a tilt bucket,I designed, on my 3PH over 25 years ago and then last year made a loader that I designed. When the tractor was new you could buy a loader for it but after 32 years MTD does not sell the loader any more so I designed and made my own. Here are some pictures of the tilt dump and then the loader. If you want any more information let me know. The last picture is when the tractor was new in 1976.

Intellisense for SQL, how hard is that? Well judging for how long we have been asking for it the answer is "very". Also talking to the product team it is actually much harder than for C# VB etc. because of the nature of SQL.
Anyway intellisense appeared in CTP5 of SQL Server 2008 and at that stage it had a few niggles in it which have now been fixed. One of those niggles was that it didn't check which version of SQL Server it was running against, so you could use intellisense against SQL Server 2000/5 for example. However the downside was that it was directing you to write SQL Server 2008 compatible T-SQL, which would work most but not all of the time on the older versions.
Rather than try and make intellisense work for the older versions, in RC0 and RTM it does now test for the version and is disabled if the target isn't SQL Server 2008. This isn't going to please everyone as some people thought this was going to be implemented for all versions, but it was never intended to support legacy versions, given how hard it was to develop.
is there a way to keep the CTP5 version?
or some 'hack' to enable intellisense for the RTM?
I would like to use it (knowing the compatiblity issues) for 2005.
I am pretty sure you can't, so upgrade to SQL 2008 and put it ihnot 2005 compatibility mode would be my top tip
I also think this function should be kept. Just let the user decide.
Moreover, it is a good place to "promote" 2008 because developers may find many new feature available only in 2008 when IntelliSense show the available command/functions.
They have a connect bug on it, go vote for it. Its one way to get MS to change their mind.

Good stuff.
Great work on composition, but as a nitpick the coda isn't long enough; you're missing two phrases. Unless that's what you intended, but it rubs me the wrong way when I hear it, since, well, who can't sing along?
Still good, though. Keep it up.

Regardless of what other reasons you have to dig into your AdWords account, here are some spring cleaning tips that will serve you well (plus a tip for Google Image Extensions).
When is the last time you gave your search campaign a spring cleaning? In the physical world, a spring cleaning weekend is often the result of some event (perhaps a visit from an in-law) that highlights just how badly your place needs a deep clean. Online is no different, and with the upcoming mandatory upgrade in Google AdWords to an Enhanced Campaign structure, now might be the perfect time to do a spring cleaning of your accounts, while perhaps even reorganizing things at the same time.
Another reason to go into your campaigns with a fresh look is the launch of Google's Image Extensions (now in beta). Image Extensions deliver the power of images across advertisers - not just those online retailers who have had an opportunity to experience huge increases in CTR on their PLA ads. If you aren't aware of the Google Image Extensions program, it's exactly what you would expect, but is outlined in Google's public announcement.
Regardless of what other reasons you have to dig into your AdWords account, here are some spring cleaning tips that will serve you well, even if you've already moved your Google campaigns over to the enhanced setting.
Grab that spreadsheet and start the spring cleaning!

Does seed start mix benefit from adding anything for flowers?
I have a terrible history growing flowers from seed. It only works about 20% of the time for me.
I'm looking to grow a lot this year and am starting with a seed starting mix. I'm wondering if flowers would benefit from adding anything to the Jiffy mix (such as blood or bone meal, worm castings, an over all plant food like espoma plantone, etc)?
Thanks for the advice.
No, not likely helpful adding anything to the seed starting mix. Nutrients needed to germinate are already stored within the seed. What you need to provide is moisture, the right temperature, light if appropriate.
Additional fertilizer isn't necessary until after the first couple of pairs of true leaves have grown out, you can cautiously add some then, typically mixed to about 1/4 the strength the directions on the package label of your product indicates.
At what point to you think your prior issues have taken place, are you having trouble achieving germination, growing the seedlings on once they've germinated...someone here can help if you give more information.
I think with the pods it was probably too wet, when using mix it was probably not pressed down enough to remove air spaces, or possibly I was dropped seed onto the mix, added more mix, then watered and or agitated which could have put my depth way off.
This time I premoistened the mix, gently pressed it down added the see and then covered with the appropriate depth followed by another light pressing.
I expect things to go better this time.

BLOODBORNE P ATHOGEN Guide California State University San Marcos Risk Management and Safety Phone: (760) 750-4502 Fax: (760) 750-3208 http://www.csusm.edu/rms/ History and Overview Health care workers' concern for their health and safety increased as the AIDS epidemic was recognized. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) responded by developing a new approach to Infection Control - Universal Precautions. Universal Precautions are protective measures employees use to eliminate or minimize exposure to infectious agents that may be present in human blood, tissues or certain body fluids. Universal Precautions is based upon the premise that "...all human blood and certain human body fluids are treated as if known to be infectious fo r HIV, HBV, and other bloodborne pathogens." Regulatory Guidelines The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) incorporated many of the CDC's Universal Precautions guidelines into a standard entitled "Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens." (29 CFR 1910.1030) The final rule was published December 6, 1991. Six months later, California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board published changes to Title 8 CCR, Section 5193, Bloodborne Pathogens, proposing a State standard relating to occupational exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens. The California standard is almost identical to the federal standard. As required by law, CSUSM Environmental Health and Safety has taken the Bloodborne Pathogen law and added a procedure manual to address: Training and record keeping HBV vaccination program Post-exposure procedures Hazard communications Exposure control and emergency CPR Purpose and Scope of the Standard The purpose of the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard is to protect workers from bloodborne infectious diseases. Protection is particularly targeted toward employees exposed to agents or occupational situations that could cause accidental transmission of any bloodborne infectious disease in general and both HIV and HBV in particular. 2 CSUSM Exposure Control Plan (ECP) The CSUSM Exposure Control Plan is intended to eliminate or minimize employee exposure to bloodborne pathogens while complying with all provisions of the OSHA bloodborne standard. The ECP identifies the job classifications of all "occupationally exposed" individuals and is reviewed annually. The ECP is located in the Risk Management and Safety Office at the Rancheros Building or can be retrieved on the World Wide Web via the home page at http://www.csusm.edu/rms/ . Additional copies of the Exposure Control Plan can be obtained by calling at 4502. Exposure Control Plan Responsibilities Each of us is partially responsible for our health and safety on the job. We share responsibility for the welfare of other people in our work environment. The responsibilities identified in the ECP are outlined below: Occupationally Exposed Employees Attend training seminars Apply the information presented in the workplace Ensure personal protective equipment and engineering controls function properly Comply with label requirements, work practice controls and housekeeping duties Report safety deficiencies to immediate supervisor Follow emergency action, exposure incident and post exposure procedures Supervisors of Occupationally Exposed Employees Receive training on the hazards of bloodborne pathogens Insure that the potentially exposed employees under their supervision receive initial training at the time of the initial assignment and at least annually thereafter. Are provided engineering controls when possible Use safe work practices Use appropriate personal protective equipment Are provided a copy of the Exposure Control Plan Methods for Recognizing Tasks It is anticipated that the following employees may have contact with human blood and other potentially infectious materials; University Police, Facility Services personnel, principle investigators or laboratory technicians performing work with blood or OPIM, phlebotomists, custodial and maintenance personnel, and handlers of biomedical waste. 3 Exposure Control Employing proper exposure control techniques can reduce the likelihood of employee exposure to infectious agents. The following precautions are recommended for individuals who handle blood and OPIM: Eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics and handling of contact lenses are prohibited in work areas PPE shall be available and worn as outlined in the ECP Universal Precautions shall supplement routine exposure control recommendations Waste shall be managed as outlined in the ECP Selection of Personal Protective Equipment If the nature of the task, activity or job requires direct contact with human blood or other potentially infectious materials to which Universal Precautions apply, personal protective equipment shall be available and worn as outlined in Enclosure 5 of the ECP. If gloves are required to be worn, latex, nitrile, vinyl, or butyl rubber gloves may be used. Disposable gloves shall not be washed or disinfected for reuse. Reusable gloves may be disinfected and reused upon inspection for damage. Appropriate protective clothing (aprons, lab coats or gowns) shall be worn if the potential for soiling employee's street clothes exists. Masks shall be worn whenever splashes, sprays, splatters, or droplets may be generated. Biosafety Levels Four biosafety levels have been described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which consist of combinations of laboratory practices and techniques, safety equipment, and laboratory facilities. Each combination is specifically appropriate for the operations performed, the documented or suspected routes of transmission of the infectious agents, and for the laboratory function or activity. The recommended biosafety level for the organisms in use represent those conditions under which the agent can ordinarily be safely handled. The levels are in designated in ascending order, by degree of protection provided to personnel, the environment, and the community. The essential elements of the four biosafety levels for activities involving infectious microorganisms are summarized in Table1. 4 Table 1. Summary of recommended biosafety levels for infectious agents. Biosafety Level Agents Practices Safety Equipment Facilities (Primary Barriers) (Secondary Barriers) 1 Not know n to cause Standard Microbiological None required Open bench top sink disease in healthy Practices required adults. 2 Associated with human BSL-1 practice plus: Primary barriers = BSL-1 plus: disease, hazard = auto- Limited access Class I or 11 BSCs Autoclave available inoculation, ingestion, Biohazard warning or other physical mucous membrane signs containment exposure "Sharps" devices used for all precautions manipulations of Biosafety manual agents that cause defining any needed infectious materials waste PPEs: laboratory decontamination or coats; gloves; face medical surveillance protection as policies needed 3 Indigenous or exotic BSL-2 practice plus: Primary barriers = BSL-2 plus: agents with potential Controlled access Class I or II BSCs Physical for aerosol Decontamination of or other physical separation from transmission; dis ease all w aste containment access may have serious or Decontamination of devices used for all corridors lethal consequences lab clothing before manipulations of Self-closing, laundering agents; PPEs: double door Baseline serum protectiv e lab access clothing; gloves Exhausted air respiratory not recirculated protection as Negative needed airflow into laboratory 4 Dangerous/exotic BSL-3 practices plus: Primary barriers = BSL-3 plus: agents whic h pose high Clothing change All procedures Separate risk of life threatening before entering on conducted in Class building or disease, aerosol- exit from facility III BSCs or Class I isolated zone transmitted lab or II BSCs in Dedicated injections; or related combination w ith supply/exhaust, agents with unknown full-body, air- vacuum, and risk of transmission supplied, positive decon systems pressure personnel suit 5 Epidemiology, Symptomolgy and Transmission OSHA has determined that occupational exposure to human blood, tissues and body fluids poses a significant health risk because these may contain bloodborne pathogens such as: Human Immunodeficiency Virus Bloodborne Hepatitis Viruses Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses (Ebola, Marburg, etc.) The greatest occupational exposure potential for the laboratory worker is a puncture wound from a sharp contaminated with human blood, tissue or body fluid. Direct and indirect contact with bloodborne pathogens enables them to enter the body through broken skin (parenteral entry) and through the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth and urogenital tract. The bloodborne pathogens that cause malaria, relapsing fever, Lyme disease, viral hemorrhagic fever and Colorado tick fever can also be transmitted by insect bites or animal contacts. Table 2 lists the most common bloodborne pathogens, initial symptoms, routes of entry, and transmission information. Modes of Transmission Modes of transmission are pathogen dependent. Common modes of transmission include: Broken skin/mucous membrane Ingestion Inhalation Insect bite Parenteral Rat bite Sexual contact Transfusion Although accidents provide and easily identified, readily recognizable event, the source of most laboratory-associated infections is less readily identified. 6 Table 2 - Symptoms, Routes of Entry and Transmission of Common Bloodborne Pathogens Agent Disease Incubation Period Principle Method Symptoms Immunity Carrier State (initial infection) of Transmission Plasmodium species malaria 10-35 days insect bite, weakness, sweating, gradual no transfusion headache, fever, chills, muscle pain Treponema pallidum acquired syphilis 9-90 days Sexual sore in genital area no no HIV AIDS 2 mos-10 yrs sexual, broken flu-like illness no yes skin/mucous membrane, transfusion HBV viral bloodborne 40-180 days sexual, broken fatigue, vomiting, yes yes hepatitis skin/mucous fever membrane, transfusion HDV Same as HBV 2-10 weeks same as HBV same as HBV yes no HCV Same as HBV 2 wks-6 mos transfusion same as HBV ? yes Leptospira leptospirosis 4-20 days broken skin/mucous impaired senses, no no interrogans membrane, headache, fever, chills, inhalation muscle pain, rash Borrelia species relapsing fever 2-15 days insect bite sudden fever, severe yes no headache, chills, nerve and muscle pain Borrelia burgdorferi Lyme disease 2-30 days insect bite spread red rash, no no swollen glands, stiff neck Brucella species brucellosis 5-60 days broken skin/mucous sudden fever, night yes no membrane, sweats, chills, severe inhalation, ingestion headache, body aches 7 Table 2(cont) - Symptoms, Routes of Entry and Transmission of Common Bloodborne Pathogens Agent Disease Incubation Period Principle Method Symptoms Immunity Carrier State (initial infection) of Transmission Francisella tularensis tularemia 1-10 days insect bite, flu-like illness yes no ingestion, inhalation Babesia species babesiosis 1 wk to 12 mos insect bite, same as malaria no no transfusion Streptobacillusmon streptobacillary 3-20 days rat bite, ingestion rash, headache, chills, no? no iliformis rat-bite fever fever, arthritic symptoms Spirillum minus spirillary (rat-bite) 1-3 weeks insect bite same as streptobacillus no? no fever Creutzfeldt-Jakob Creutzfeldt-Jakob 15 mos-20 yrs broken skin/mucous confusion, madness ? ? virus disease membrane Marburg virus hemorrhagic fever 3 days-2 weeks broken skin/mucous sudden fever, ? no Ebola virus membrane weakness, severe leg pain, rash, stomach pain Junin virus hemorrhagic fever 7-16 days scratched or broken same as yes no Machupo virus skin/mucous Marburg/Ebola and membrane, sweats, sore throat inhalation of dried infected rodent feces and urine Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever 3-12 days insect bite, also same as some no Virus infected rodents and Marburg/Ebola domesticated animals, broken skin/mucous membrane HBV is the only bloodborne pathogen that has an approved vaccine. 8 Hepatitis B Vaccine All employees that are anticipated to have contact with human blood and OPIM will be offered the opportunity to receive the hepatitis B vaccine and antibody titer. This is offered at no cost to the employee. Prior to receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, each employee will undergo training as outlined in the ECP. Medical contradictions or employee immunity revealed by antibody titer are reasons for the employee not to participate in the program. If an employee refuses to participate in the hepatitis B vaccination program, the Hepatitis B Vaccination Declination form will be duly administered. Emergency Procedures A bloodborne pathogen emergency is an unplanned release of blood or OPIM. This release may be the result of a spill, an aerosol release, and injured co-worker, or an unanticipated encounter with human blood or OPIM. Only occupationally exposed employees can perform decontamination procedures. Protective clothing and equipment appropriate for the situation must be worn. Cleanup must be accomplished in a manner that considers both the safety of personnel and limiting the release of viable biologic agents. Emergency actions to take in the event of spills of blood or OPIM: Contain spill to prevent spreading to uncontaminated areas Pour enough disinfectant (10% bleach) into the spill to double the spill size Allow at least 15 minute contact time Carefully mop up liquid or soak up with disposable towels/pads. Pick up glass or other sharps with tongs Soak mop in disinfectant for 20 minutes before reuse Dispose of all spill materials in red bag Wash hands thoroughly Emergency actions to take in the event of aerosol generation: Stop work immediately Presume the aerosolized material is contaminated with bloodborne pathogens Inform all others in the area that an aerosol may have been generated Evacuate all employees for at least 30 minutes Notify RM&S at 4510 or 4567 afterhours. Decontaminate all exposed surfaces 9 Emergency actions to take in the event of an injured co-worker: Assess the situation If the injured co-worker can provide his or her own first aid, assist the person only by supplying bandages and dressings The injured person will decontaminate any contaminated surfaces, if possible Emergency actions to take in the event of an unanticipated encounter: In all likelihood employees experiencing an unanticipated encounter will not have been previously considered "occupationally exposed" These employees must attempt to avoid contact with human blood and OPIM. Notify at 4502 or 4567 afterhours. Procedures Following an Exposure Exposure to a bloodborne pathogen is any "...specific contact (eye, mouth, mucous membrane, non-intact skin, or parenteral) with blood or OPIM that results from the performance of an employee's duties". All employee exposure incidents shall be reported to as quickly as possible. Employees are responsible to wash the area immediately with soap and water, report the incident to his or her supervisor, and to seek medical attention immediately. Supervisors are responsible to complete IIPP Form 5 Accident, Injury & Occupational Illness Investigation Form and insure that exposed employee is transported for medical assistance. Upon receipt of the IIPP Form 5, RM&S will schedule a confidential medical evaluation and follow-up for the exposed employee. RM&S will conduct an exposure investigation, documenting the route(s) of exposure, exposure circumstances and the source individual if applicable. Signs and Labels Warning signs shall be posted at the entrances to areas where work with biohazardous materials is performed or where biohazardous materials or waste is stored. The sign shall include the international biohazard symbol, the name of the infectious agent, special requirements for entering the area, the name and telephone numbers (work and home) of the laboratory director, and the biosafety level designation. Biohazard warning tags or labels must be used to identify containers of infectious materials, infectious waste, and refrigerators, freezers, and incubators where biohazards are located. The tag or label must contain the word "BIOHAZARD" or "BIOLOGICAL 10 HAZARD" and the international biohazard symbol. Additionally, biohazardous waste must be identified with a CSU San Marcos Generator label. International Biohazard Symbol 75040 760-750-4502 2750- Generator Label CSU San Marcos 4502 Biohazardous Waste Management Biohazardous waste is defined as Laboratory waste, cultures and stocks of infectious agents from research laboratories, wastes from the production of biological agents, discarded live and attenuated vaccines, and culture dishes and devices used to transfer, inoculate and mix cultures or material which may contain infectious agents and may pose a substantial threat to health. All non-sterilized cultures shall be presumed to be biohazardous. Any specimens sent to a laboratory for microbiologic analysis shall be presumed to be biohazardous. Surgical specimens including animal parts or tissues removed surgically or by autopsy shall be presumed to be biohazardous. Sharps, including any objects or devices having acute rigid corners, edges, or protuberances capable of cutting or piercing, and including, but is not limited to, hypodermic needles, blades, microscope slides and slip covers. All of the above listed items, except sharps, are considered putrefying waste and should be stored in the waste freezer located in room 3-102. Generally, biohazardous wastes can be grouped into one of the following categories: Dry Solid Wastes (Red bag) Sharps Liquids Animal Waste 11 Dry solid wastes include: petri dishes, culture tubes, culture flasks, plastic serological pipettes, pipette tips, gloves, and benchcoat meeting the definition of biohazardous waste. Dry solid waste shall be placed in red double- lined biohazardous waste bag labeled with international biohazard symbol and generator label. The biohazard bags should be placed inside of a supported, reusable container with a lid. Biohazardous waste bags shall have strength to preclude ripping, tearing or bursting and must be tied before being transported. Sharps include: any sharp instrument that can be identified as being associated with animal or human care or can be associated with use in medical and research laboratories regardless of the presence of infectious materials, hypodermic needles and syringes, pasteur pipettes or other glass pipettes, scalpels or scalpel blades, blood vials or test tubes, and contaminated glassware that cannot be cleaned or is damaged. Biological sharps must be placed in red, rigid, leakproof, puncture resistant container and labeled with international biohazard symbol and CSU San Marcos Generator label. Liquid wastes shall be kept separate from solid wastes and shall not be stored for extended periods prior to treatment. Appropriate sterilization techniques (steam or chemical) must be used prior to disposal. Animal waste includes animal carcasses, body parts, and blood products. Place in red double-lined biohazard bag labeled with international biohazard symbol and generator label. The strength of the bag must preclude ripping, tearing or bursting. Notify RM&S at 4502 to have the animal waste removed from the laboratory immediately. 12

Broody rises after 2 weeks
My black Australorp has been sitting on eggs for two weeks. Today was a particularly hot, muggy day. When I got home from work she was sitting in the "next-door" box and no one was covering the eggs.
I went inside hoping it was just a momentary lapse, but when I checked two hours later, she was still sitting next door. The original nest had one broken egg in it and was pretty stinky, so I removed all the eggs and cleaned the nest.
When I cracked the eggs, not a single one was fertile.
If the eggs had been developing, would she know by two weeks that there were chicks? I wonder if something told her that nest was a dud and so she decided to begin again on fresh eggs?
Darn it, I was so looking forward to peeps!
Hens are pretty darned smart. :)
Did you check the eggs to confirm the presence of a blastoderm or blastodisc?
You can crack a couple of fresh eggs to see if they are fertile, check out the instructions on this page for how-to's and great pictures, read the section on 'Fresh Egg Breakout':

I like the Charr and I like the Elementalist, screw it i'm doing them both.
Donatello's forum posts
Its nice to see that we will have a good mix of professions.
For me i'm doing Elementalist
I am in season 2 right now and I don't find it bad. I guess I just don't think about stuff as much as other people do I am enjoying it so far.
Can I still link my GW1 profile to GW2 if I manage to recover my first account?
Yes you should be able too. You can download the GW1 client from the Guild Wars website and try to figure it out from their.
I have started watching this show and it's great. Good story people die all the time lots of action I recommend it. all the seasons are on Netflix streaming so do your self a favor and watch it.
I got them both at the same time so that I would not know the difference. worked out for me.
Im down for this. I have played the first GW lots, I'm mostly a PVE guy but I will do some PVP if needed. I have always wanted a great comunity to play games with and this one is the best.
If you can try playing online with someone doing the same quest that way it wont be locked for them and you can complete it.

Lana is pushing a cart into a room where sheet music is on a stand and classical is playing from a record player. She announces herself. A man with a big, round face, who's sitting in a wheelchair, closes his eyes and holds up his hand, telling her to hold on a sec. Dude, you're not Hannibal Lecter yet. Then he shuts off his record player and turns around to face her. "The Langs moved to Smallville in 1938," he says in his gravelly voice. He tells her the Langs took over some local farms. Lana smiles and calls him a history buff. "It's kind of my obsession," he tells her, and I'm amazed there's no foreboding sound cue here. "Are you my next victim?" he asks. Lana says he doesn't look very scary. "You should have known me in my younger days," he tells her. She tells him she's sure he was quite the heartbreaker. I'm not sure that's exactly what he meant. He suggests that they take a spin around the grounds to catch up on Lang family history. He just wants to hear how her parents got flapjacked by that meteor. Lana smiles in agreement, her pretty face splitting open and revealing an even prettier face inside that mere human beings cannot look at directly.
Outside on the pond-bridge. Pretty fall colors in the trees. Wait, so last week's episode took place in winter, but now it's fall again? Lana comments on how pretty the area looks. Crusty Old Man tells her that most people stay at home and watch TV. Especially on Tuesday nights. Crusty Old Man asks Lana if she'll go back to his room and get him a scarf because he's afraid he'll catch a chill. How do you catch a chill? Is that like getting the heat sucked out of you by a kryptonite monster who wants to stay warm? Lana says, "Sure!" in her bright voice, and takes off, leaving Crusty Old Man to fish some cigarettes and a lighter from his robe pockets. Naughty Crusty Man. As he tries to light, he drops his Zippo and then has to lean over to retrieve it from the ground.
Quick cut to Cassandra and Clark. He's supposed to be reading, but nothing's been said, and Cassandra starts coughing roughly. She asks for a glass of water. She stands to drink, and as she reaches for the glass, it falls between them.
Cut from the falling glass to Crusty Old Man reaching down for the lighter.
Back to the falling glass.
Glass shattering.
Crusty Old Man leans to the side and tips over his wheelchair. It falls into the pond with him, and we see the water electrified by the wheelchair's supposed motor. There's lots of blue electricity as Crusty Old Man (now Crispy Old Man) lies, face down, on the surface of the water. Small explosion.

brian112464, 1998 Volkswagen Passat, 209,600 miRookie
also had the inside of my passat flooded...found drivers side rear drain hose for sunroof kinked between some metal section in the fender opened that but still getting small amounts of water when it rains real hard.... replaced trans. control module under drivers side carpetand got the car to start and run but still need to find the comfort module and replace it so i can get my windows to work....if anyone can help me with that...i would appreciate any info anyone can give me...
Visitor, 1999 Volkswagen Passat, 40,000 mi
Leaked to the passenger side module and car ran like crap. I got that fixed, sort of. The transmission still shifts rough. The driver's side module got wet about 6 mos. later and I lost interior lights, central locking sys., etc. which I have not fixed because to cost is prohibitive. The car is only worth 4k. I can not believe this car was designed by German engineers. My dog could have done better....
Visitor, 1999 Volkswagen Passat, 100,000 mi
My module malfunctions. Drain under car battery clogged and flooded module located on the driver's side floor. One by one things have stopped working...windows, power sunroof, gas door latch, remote start, heated/power mirrors, vw key malfunctions etc. I think VW should recall and fix the problem. POOR DESIGN...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING !!!!! I found where I can get a new one online...cost about $300.00.
Visitor, 2002 Volkswagen Passat
Had this occur 5 yrs back. Entire computer ($5K repair bill)system "flooded". Shocked to learn as have car regularly cleaned; luckily covered under insurance policy. Furious that VW tried to blame me. Filed complaint on-line with NHTSA.
Visitor, 2006 Volkswagen Passat, 89,000 mi
Water under carpet drivers side.
Visitor, 2005 Volkswagen Passat, 125,000 mi
TCI transmission controll module destroyed by massive water leaks, Water leaking in the passenger side soaking the contents of the glove box collecting in the rear floor pan. It will be the sunroof drains clogged or a drain under the battery or both. The tci is $1400 farfagnugen you !!!!
Visitor, 2000 Volkswagen Passat, 165,000 mi
haven't fixed it yet. at a loss to know what to do. car is dead in the water, so to speak. car was flooded front and rear seats, body control module is shorted. vacummed the water out and shoved the car in the garage. I don't have $$$ to fix. Shouldn't VW recall these cars and fix these drains and components?
Visitor, 2000 Volkswagen Passat, 119,000 mi
The car will not start -after heavy rain - clogged drains in sunroof cause leakage to inside of car to control module,
Visitor, 2014 Volkswagen Passat, 12,000 mi
Complained of rug being wet on driver side since got car- been in shop 2 weeks still not fixed. Think I got a lemon
