In response to:
The Republicans have to figure out a way to stop this action now. Ideas?
In response to:
Joseph, I think the choice of President was driven in large part by guilt and wanting to show ourselves the world that "yes, here, in this country of ours, anyone can grow up and become president--regardless of race, creed or gender. We've put America's original sin (slavery) behind us." But the voters really did not look hard enough before they leapt--there were warning indicators about leftist leanings and belonging to an anti-American "Christian" church and lack of experience. For some reason, the Church seems to have decided to choose a Latin American pope--those were the indications before the last papal enclave. Fine, but look before you leap. Were the candidates thoroughly vetted? Is the Pope orthodox, that is, does he believe in scripture, cannon law and the church traditions and teaching in their current form? The jury is still out on that one.
In response to:
I think the Pope is confusing people by making statements which contradict the church's teaching without actually changing the church's teaching. The comparisons to Obama are sort of valid in that Obama is over-reaching the Constitution in changing various laws (ACA) without Congressional action and writing laws without Congressional action (Dreamers' Act was unilateral, amnesty will be unilateral) which over-reach the power of the executive under the Constitution. In other words, what Obama is doing doesn't square with the Constitution. Well, what the Pope is doing doesn't seem to square with the Church's own teaching, tradition, or even scripture. So he's just confusing one and all. I think that's Scott4672's point--what is being said by the Pope doesn't square with scripture. When the Pope says things like "who am I to judge?" he confuses believers and nonbelievers alike. No, we are not to "judge" in the sense of assigning persons to heaven, hell and purgatory. Only God can do that. But we are to evaluate every thought and act that presents itself to the mind. 90% of the things that present itself to the mind are morally "neutral", such as "should I wear the green shirt or the red shirt today?" (morally neautral). But "should I perform (a certain type of) sexual act" is not morally neutral. "Should I divorce my spouse?" is not morally neutral. "Should I end the life of my unborn child?" is not morally neutral. "Should I agree to participate in activities that violate my conscience?" is not morally neutral. This is exactly where the Pope is confusing us by saying vague statements such as "who am I do judge?" Does that mean "go ahead, do anything you want sexually, as long as you lead an otherwise Christian life, who am I to judge?" or does he mean "God will overlook it and soon the church will, too (certain types of sexual acts)?" Does he mean "Go ahead, participate in acts that violate the church's teaching, who am I to judge?" No one knows, because the remarks seem unthought-through, off-the-cuff, shooting from the lip, and not logically cohesive. Hence, the moral confusion that the American bishops are reacting against.
In response to:
TXTRUTH, you nailed it.
Raymond, it's all about letting the country be over-run by new illegal voters. Otherwise, regular Americans have figured out we're being badly led and will get new leadership.
Trait, You are nailing what is wrong with the current response to the crisis.
Our leadership is in deep denial about the problem at some level. Ultimately, the sycophants and toadies will have to acknowledge the threat, but before that, a lot of people are going to be unnecessarily exposed to the disease.
Good point, Ava. Home quarantines are better than nothing, but other people in the home can are susceptible to exposure to their family member's bodily fluids. That's why if one member in the family catches something, it is likely they all do. The returning soldiers are being quarantined in Italy. So the current scientific thinking indicates there is a role for quarantine in protecting public health. Well, why not here for arrivals from hot spots that are not soldiers?
This is what it feels like to be lead from behind. The man in the cockpit is flying by the seat of his pants. So Ebola will spread until the madness stops.
In response to:
This is what happens when the first-best solutions are ignored (barring flights from hot spots). Second best is home quarantines for anyone arriving from hot spots. But that still will allow the spread of the disease before we get the medicines and vaccinations to stop Ebola. It is better than nothing. In the end, we will get correctives, but not before the horses (the public health in the USA) have run out of the barn. Even then, every correct movement will be fought by the powers that be. We are being led from behind. The man in the cockpit is flying by the seat of his pants.
In response to:
Tin, you have a "tin" ear for God's word. You have turned God into the tooth fairy, or some "love" beatnik, "if it feels good, do it"-type hippie, carefully editing out of the Bible the clear warnings in both the OT and NT that "the wages of sin is death." You contradict scripture, you pervert the word of God, and twist what God says to suit your purpose, which is probably the pursuit of pleasure. In other words, your god is your belly. Like Esau in the Bible, you are forfeiting the inheritance for a meal. You are forewarned by scripture where your self-delusion will lead. But where there's life there's hope. If you can't see we're in trouble, you don't want to see. Eyes wide shut.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Run 'D' might be weak
But it looks like Blue pass 'D' could be strong
There's a saying in the reality-TV Jackass-era programming, that, "if you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough." Well, in the world of pro-football, if you're gonna be small, you better be fast, and be even tougher.
The two-week pre-season in the CFL is not the time to make definitive statements about a football team. While the optics of only being outscored by five points in two games are dramatically better than the 70 points they were outscored by in 2013, it is too early to predict what lies ahead for the 2014 Bombers.
It's difficult to gauge success or failure in the pre-season because each opponent you face has its own agenda in terms of starter exposure, game plan, and evaluation criterion. If you think you have your football team pegged before Week 4 or 5 of the regular season -- especially after as much change as this team has incurred -- you are fooling no one other than yourself.
The one thing the pre-season does, though, is provide a snapshot of what is being emphasized, and defensively speaking, we may finally be able to see the direction this Gary Etcheverry scheme is headed in.
Only the greatest of defences, with the rarest combinations of talent, have the ability to take away everything, and limit both the run and pass at once. More commonly, a defensive co-ordinator forges his scheme around what he feels his priorities are to defend, and compromises other areas. If you are primarily concerned about the pass and pressuring the quarterback, then the way you build your team may create vulnerabilities on the ground, and vice versa. For every scheme, for every coverage, for every front and blitz, there is a weakness. Defence is all about defending the probabilities of down and distance, and minimizing the greatest perceived threat in any situation.
To that end, with what little we have been shown of this Bomber defense in two pre-season games, and from what we have been told, giving up yards on the ground may be the price that is paid this season for a stingy backfield over the top, and hopefully, a yet to be revealed, unrelenting pass rush.
With two exhibition games in the books, and nine days to go before things get real, we have every indication this is the identity this defence is shooting for. Against Toronto and Calgary, the Blue and Gold gave up 135 yards and 193 yards on the ground, respectively, for an average of 164 yards a game. While that would be an ugly trend to accept and digest over an 18-game schedule, surrendering just under 200 yards a game against the pass -- like the Bombers just accomplished -- would be a trade-off I would be willing to take, if the sacks also picked up to an elite level in a yet-to-be seen attacking scheme.
You didn't have to be a defensive super sleuth to have seen this style of play coming, and its requisite shortcomings. As soon as the Bomber brass started talking about emphasizing speed over size and disguising pressures through variable fronts, it was easy to identify where the vulnerability might be.
In an interview with Bob Irving last Friday, coach Mike O'Shea made some interesting comments to this exact point: "The bigger and slower you are, the easier it is for the bigger and slower offensive linemen to get you... If you are undersized and you move very well it's a nightmare for offensive linemen to try and get a hold of them." Sage words indeed, when you are talking about rushing the passer and threatening these lumbering behemoths with speed and movement. Nothing quite threatens an offensive lineman like a full complement of afterburners at your disposal.
On the flip side of that coin, though, is the fact nothing also excites an offensive lineman -- they are excitable types -- like running the football against an undersized front. Quicker players may be adept at avoiding and escaping blocks, but if you run around blocks against a downhill running attack, you won't have enough fingers to plug all the leaks in the dam. If the bulldozer is coming straight down main street, and you decide to get out of the way and detour, you might find yourself in a different neighborhood altogether.
While this defence has the personnel to be effective against both fronts -- athletes such as Bryant Turner Jr., Jason Vega and Zach Anderson are far from one-dimensional players -- if they can continue to be as successful against the pass in the regular season as they were in the pre-season, and average, say, three sacks a game, it would go a long way in making a potential weakness against the run easier to forget.

Topsy Turvy Tomato Variety
Greetings All! First time grower. My Mom has a bad habit of buying impulsively and she picked up a Topsy Turvy for my girlfriend and me.
We love to cook and are excited at the possibility of cooking with our own fresh veggies. We live in a Townhouse with no yard, so this seems pretty ideal for us. We get plenty of sun on one of our balconies.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what variety of tomatoes we should try growing in this thing. I've read through the forums and understand that we'll need to water the plant often. We're in Southern California, so the weather shouldn't be an issue.
Any advice, or shared success/failures that we could learn from would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you'll buzz over to the Tomato Growing forum here you'll find discussions about Topsy Turveys. I linked one of them below. Unfortunately I fear you will be greatly disappointed as they seem to be one of those things that sound good in theory but don't work in real life.
Most all the reviews on them are quite negative so keep your expectations in check.
The only varieties recommended for them are the small dwarf varieties. Even the smaller determinate varieties quickly out grow them and the small amount of soil they hold will require watering several times a day especially in your zone.
You'd do better on your balcony with a 18-20" container tomato plant.
Here is a link that might be useful: Topsy Turvey discussion
Thanks Dave,
I saw that thread and was hoping that over time some people may have found more success with trying different things. I picked up a young Celebrity Tomato (the picture looked nice) and the vines looked healthy. I'll give it a try and post the results.
The biggest problem is that the sun is.. up THERE, and the planter is upside down. The leaves are going to have the undersides shone on, and they will want to flip over.
The growing point of the tomato will never grow down, It will always try and grow around the side and upwards. The topsy turvey pepper planter might works, as well as the through the sides strawberry planter, but even then, You're fighting gravity.
I tried growing in one, and I realized how they got the tomato to grow like you see in the commercials.... They grew it right side up, and then flipped it for filming. The biggest problem is that the feeder roots will grow to the "top", but when you water, all the water will sit and collect near the main stem.
I picked up a young Celebrity Tomato
Celebrity is normally a quite big plant, much bigger than the average determinate variety. Instead try one called Patio - it is usually available where plants are sold.
Even right side up you still have the problems of too little soil and the high water and feeding demands. If you are growing to grow one right side up then anything other than a small flower pot will give you much better results.
I realized how they got the tomato to grow like you see in the commercials.... They grew it right side up, and then flipped it for filming.
Yeah it sure is a rigged commercial. In previous discussions many pointed out that they must have tied ripe tomatoes on it too since no plant ripens and holds at perfect all that many tomatoes all at one time. *wink*
The best small patio tomato I have grown is the sweet and neat cherry tomato. Awsome tomatos, fairly prolific for a plant that size-but mostly the tomatos just tasted really good.
The plant will grow in a one gallon bucket and never gets more then 2 feet tall.
I have used the planter for different herbs as well as annuals, and both times it looked very pretty and was useful with the herbs. The one time I tried an actual tomato plant in it, it just limped along. Whatever you plant in the top, make sure it likes alot of water!

Counselors to America's Small Business
You, the franchisee, have supported this system with your royalties and initial purchase price and it now will be one of your biggest assets as you decide to grow your business.
Betty Otte, SCORE Counselor
You, the franchisee, have supported this system with your royalties and initial purchase price and it now will be one of your biggest assets as you decide to grow your business.
Since the systems for the franchise are already in place, your biggest concerns as you grow your business are:
Finances –having sufficient capital and resources
Location – for many businesses, location is critical.
If you are thinking about purchasing a franchise, keep the following 5 tips in mind.
Consortium of Public and Private Organizations
In Helping Entrepreneurs Leverage Technology to Fuel Their Growth and Success
Kevin McDermott and Steven Smits originally intended to operate a small company producing aviation lighting systems. They soon grew their business when only 20 months into operations, the company was awarded a $7.7 million contract from the Air Force to supply lighting at 28 bases. Kevin, vice president of business development, says, he and Steve, the president of the company who is a service-disabled veteran, made a conscious decision to hire veterans for the workforce they'd need to meet the contract.
Attending meetings at their local SCORE chapter, Kevin and Steven met with Milwaukee mentor Joan Burke for small business help.
"There was an awful lot we didn't know" about starting a business, Kevin says. They must have learned a lot quickly, because Patriot Taxiway Industries received the 2010 SCORE Award for Outstanding Veteran-owned Business.
Attending meetings at their local SCORE chapter, Kevin and Steven met with Milwaukee counselor Joan Burke, and they were given checklists to understand what it takes to start a small business and to understand what they'd be up against.
SCORE, Kevin says, gave them the framework to ask the right questions that would help them succeed regarding banks, liability insurance, marketing to the federal government. "In the military, we have a role, we have a task. The environment doesn't bother us; we fix airplanes," Kevin says. "It's different when we have to go out and hire people."
Kevin and Steven each have more than 20 years' experience in the Air Force National Guard. They met in 1988 and have been deployed together all over the world including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo and Somalia. Nevertheless, Kevin calls starting a small business one of the most challenging, albeit rewarding, things he's ever done.
With Kevin's background in electrical engineering and optical design, and Steven's in avionics manufacturing, the two had strong credentials for producing their aviation lighting systems, which makes lighting systems for aviation customers, from the overhead lights in an airplane cabin, to the runway and anti-collision lights utilized by airports.
"There has to be a better way." That's what Jack Licata used to think during his days as a U.S. Air Force missile officer.
On his mandatory monthly day of office duty, the chore he least looked forward to was emptying the trash. "It was both messy and inefficient having to dump the bins and replace liners," Jack says
Following his discharge in 1988, Jack pursued several successful careers, first in truck sales, then as head of an environmental company that recycled auto oil filters, antifreeze and motor oil. But the idea of handling trash more efficiently stayed in the back of his mind. He frequently watched the problems encountered by fast-food workers when they emptied the large bins found in most restaurants. As the father of two young children, he also understood the hassles and potential messes that came with getting the trash ready for pick-up in the home.
By 2006, Jack was ready to devote more attention to the product, which he called Bag Ups. The biggest challenge—raising awareness of Bag Ups among his target commercial and retail markets—would require a more sophisticated marketing and distribution strategy. That's when he decided to contact New York City SCORE.
One of the first things SCORE Counselor Elliott Merberg encouraged Jack to do was to focus on his business plan for Bag Ups. "It not only crystallized my thinking but made it easier to explain my idea to the outside world," Jack says. "Over the next several months, I'd refine the plan and share it with Elliott, who would always give me new things to think about."
Elliott also kept urging Jack to think of ways to get the product to market as quickly as possible. "His mantra was 'Get it out there,'" Jack says. "I gained so much confidence from that because I know he sees a lot of ideas—some good, others not so good. For him to give that kind of support and say I have a good product was a tremendous boost."
Jack's strategy included visiting a Chicago housewares trade show, where he gave a presentation on Bag Ups before a panel of purchasing agents. That led to a spot on the QVC cable shopping network and instant exposure for Bag Ups to complement his Web site.
Jack is working on taking Bag Ups to the next level, including getting the product into a broader range of stores and establishing links with Web sites that promote green products. Elliott is helping Jack craft a proposal for a regional supermarket. SCORE Counselor Howard Geltzer, whose experience includes promoting the Sony Walkman, is advising him on a marketing campaign that may include producing a 60-second TV commercial.
"I wasn't a neophyte when it came to starting a business, but everybody needs to think outside the box," Jack says. "And the only way to do that is to have someone from outside take a look at what you do. That's what the people at SCORE do best. The level and breadth of their expertise is great. Even if you've done all this before, they'll give you insights and ideas that you might never have thought of."

|In London, Carmelo Anthony praises Knicks owner
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 16 January 2013 07:40
Two days after the Newark Star-Ledger reported that Dolan had put listening devices on the court to monitor everything said to and by Anthony, the New York Knicks forward spoke about the hubbub Wednesday in London.
Anthony says ``I got an owner that looks out (for me). You can't beat that.''
Anthony and Boston forward Kevin Garnett exchanged words during the Celtics' 102-96 victory Jan. 7. Anthony, clearly thrown off his game and finishing just 6-of-26 from the field, then tried to confront Garnett near the locker room.
Anthony would not reveal what was said by Garnett.

Brendan Shanahan Leading NHL's Crackdown Against Illegal Hits
Published October 6, 2011
UPON FURTHER REVIEW: In Denver, Adrian Dater noted Shanahan "introduced some new-school elements to his new job, including a video explanation for every suspension he hands out." And so far, a majority of NHL players "seem to be in favor of the crackdown on head shots -- but some are worried that things will be taken too far" (DENVER POST, 10/2). The GLOBE & MAIL's Jeff Blair wrote under the header "Shanahan's Candour Gives Fighting Debate A New Punch." Shanahan "might be more comfortable in front of the video camera, giving out a dry, written, pseudo-legal interpretation of the latest suspension he's handed out, but he also seems able to think on his feet." But Blair added, "It would seem that a league smart enough to use video to explain its suspensions would also realize it's time to get in front on fighting" (GLOBE & MAIL, 10/3). In Boston, Kevin Paul Dupont wrote the NHL.com videos with Shanahan "explaining the many suspensions he has handed out of late are appointment web watching" (BOSTON GLOBE, 10/2). SI's Farber writes Shanahan explains each decision with "succinct eloquence" (SI, 10/10 issue).
FIGHT FOR CHANGE: The GLOBE & MAIL's David Shoalts wrote the goal of Shanahan and the league "is laudable but the process is sure to be uncomfortable" (GLOBE & MAIL, 10/2). In Pittsburgh, Josh Yohe wrote Shanahan's early work "has received praise from players, and his hands-on approach feels refreshing." Yet his job "remains daunting, as a faction of players seemingly always will push the envelope with controversial hits" (PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW, 10/2). A GLOBE & MAIL editorial stated, "This should be the season to end headshots in hockey." But the NHL's "determination to take headshots out of the game and protect the brains of its players is still in question." The editorial: "If the league is serious about headshots, any deliberate targeting of the head should be ruled by definition an 'attempt to injure,' and subject to an automatic five-minute 'major' penalty, and expulsion from that game" (GLOBE & MAIL, 10/1).

About disabled toilets...
Started by podg , Jan 09 2013 06:50 PM
237 replies to this topic
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:50 PM
I am just finishing my first period since #4. I also have a copper IUD, and there was a heavy day there when I was overflowing/changing protection every half hour. I use a menstrual cup so get my hands bloody during the change.
I was at a (beach)toilet where the mens and womens cubicles are both across from the basins, which are shared. Because of the bloodiness situation I used the disabled cubicle so I could wash my hands without displaying them to anyone.
When I walked out a party of people with visible disabilities and their carers were going by and I was consumed with guilt.
Did I do the wrong thing, EB?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:55 PM
Not really sure why you're asking. Do you want criticism or praise or?
I dont see why it matters what EB thinks.
FTR - if its an emergency as it clearly was and you were quick - there is nothing wrong with what you did.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:57 PM
I think what you did under the circumstances is fine.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:57 PM
Pretty sure that having your period isn't a disability.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:58 PM
Was there a sign saying you MUST be disabled to use these loo? And is so did they have a criteria on what they class as disabled?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:00 PM
I think it's ok too.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:00 PM
Ive been in exactly the same situation and done the same thing. In fact i did it at seaworld last year during a badly timed overly heavy period and a carer had words with me about it. I apologised but didn't explain, I mean, really - the guy was right, his disabled client/friend/lover/relative's needs are why the loo is there, even if i had explained, my menstrual disfunction is pretty irrelevant to him. There is also a baby change room in the shopping centre in this town where the "parent's" toilet is a lot smaller than a regular cubicle (!!!!) and I've used the disabled toilet across the hall instead, so I don't have to chose between locking my kids on the other side of the cubicle and shutting the door while I go!'
Look, the toilets are there for the disabled. I suspect morally we are in the wrong on this but in practice I'm not exactly sure what else we can do?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:00 PM
Does it matter now? What's done is done. If you feel guilty, try not to do it again. If you felt it was an "emergency" then you had to do what you had to do. I'd forget about it.
eta: I've never used a menstural cup, but couldn't you have wiped your hands clean with toilet paper before washing them?
Edited by Kitty Fantastico, 09 January 2013 - 07:03 PM.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:02 PM
I am pretty sure some people on here will lynch you for that. As far as those waiting are concerned, they don't know if genuinely needed that toilet or not. For all they know, you could have been changing your colostomy bag. As far as I'm concerned, you needed it, you used it. Why feel guilty?

Really? Would it say "don't be a scumbucket"?
Anyway, OP, I can understand your embarrassment but I like to think I would have used a regular toilet and then just wiped my hands with toilet tissue so any blood was less obvious before washing them in the sink. Admittedly, I have only ever used pads so I have no idea what happens when you change a cup - please forgive me for picturing you looking like Sissy Spacek in Carrie.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:03 PM
I think it is fine that you used them. Don't worry about it.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:04 PM
Off topic, but to the poster who said that the carer had words with you, that surprises me. You hear a lot on here about invisible disabilities and the carer does not know your situation at all.

I use a cup and you can get a bit of blood on your fingers, but it isn't as though you couldn't wipe and wash when outside as you said.

Off topic, but WHAT is a menstrual cup??????
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:11 PM
Were the people with disabilities waiting to use the toilets?
I'm really hoping a scheme I read about recently does begin to roll out--if you have a disability and a need for the toilets, you get a universal key to the toilets which can be used Australia-wide. That would be win-win as we never again would have a thread about people justifying using a disability toilet and people who need the toilets will have access.

The best thing ever. I have used mine for about a year and a half and they sound gross but they are truly awesome. I think they are less gross than tampons and I forget I have my period with it and my periods aren't painful anymore.
This is the one I use and it's probably the most well known http://divacup.com/products/the-divacup/

Oh but then what on earth will people do? If they didn't have accessible toilets, the world would end.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:16 PM
I ask because people here hold strong views on this, and I want to know for next time in case I was in the moral wrong.
The loo is just a disabled one, you know the drill, bars to hold, wide entry, basin in the cubicle, room to manoeuvre. Labeled with a blue wheelchair and indication it is unisex. Pretty obviously not for just anyone who needs a standard toilet visit. The change table is not in there.
I don't think a period is a disability either, but I think walking out of a cubicle into a public handwashing area with a hand covered in blood is pretty poor form if I can avoid it.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:18 PM
How would that scheme work in all the places where the baby change facilities are in the disabled toilets (which seems to be most of them)? Or would they not be fitted for the universal key thingy?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:23 PM
Ange those are not dedicated disability toilets so, no, they would not be fitted with the lock.
OP, honestly? Do you need to keep asking? I think you will find that people who don't need the toilets will generally support you and people who need the toilets or are carers are just over here in the corner with our eyes spinning while we rock and chant.
What would you have done if the disability toilet was not available for your menstrual emergency?
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:26 PM
Just wipe your hands with toilet paper before going out of the cubicle- that's what I do. I wouldn't think to use the accessible toilet for that reason.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:33 PM
The mlk scheme I think it is, is the universal key is not widely supported, and further it discriminates those who do not have access to the key or left it at home. For instance a person with a disability traveling from overseas would be discriminated as they would not have a key or have to make additional arrangements
Further accessible facilites facilities are not for the use of a person with a disability only, that would be discriminatory towards able body persons where the only is installed is one that is accessible.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:33 PM
Thanks for responses. I was going to the toilet in trepidation each time, not sure just how messy it would be as it was still on the increase.
I wanted to know from EB, as a sample of responsible considerate society, whether I should regard it as justifiable or never do it again.
I think I know now. Thanks.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:37 PM
I don't see an issue with you using it in this instance.
If your beach toliets are anything like our local ones, there wouldn't have been paper in the loo to wipe your hands with anyway.

Problem keeps re occuring
I currently own a 92' Pontiac Bonneville, now my problem is this... Whenever I decelerate(brake) there is a "pop" sound once i reach 2000 rpm in 2nd gear generally, now i also hear this sound sometimes when I go over bumps. Not that this is serious however, i recently had an issue driving down the highway and all of the sudden my car began shaking violently and my tire blew. Now my question is that could this "poping sound" be related to my tire blowing? If so what could that problem be caused by. Thank you in advance for the help.
Could be
Is this a low mileage car ?, with tires that are aging and deteriorating ?
I had a flat once or twice in the Saab, never a noise or shake, some pulling, of course..
What did the expired tire look like ? - that should tell you what was going on..
Check the fit of your brake calpers with its mounting pins, and are the calipers free to slide on these pins? The calipers should have little to no lateral free play on the pins, but slide freely in and out. (There will be some friction from the pin seals.)
If the pin holes in the caliper have worn too much, replace both calipers and pins.
Make sure that the brake pads are sungly fitted and not sloppng around.

This section gives you access to current standard interpretations separated by topics and related normative documents.
Can areas converted from natural forests after 1994 become certified if the forest manager is actively restoring these sites toward natural conditions? Would it be possible to invoke FSC-ADV-31-001?
|Normative Reference
|Wednesday, 11. September 2013
In general no, but there are 2 exceptional cases where certification in these areas may be allowed:
Invoking FSC-ADV-31-001 is not possible. The Motion 18 from the GA 2011 requires the FSC to complete the Plantations Review.
If conversion in circumstances other than compliance with FSC Criterion 6.10 cannot take place within an FSC-certified area, is the conversion of plantations to natural forest not permitted?
|Normative Reference
|Criterion 6.10
|Wednesday, 11. September 2013
Criterion 6.10 refers to 'Forest conversion to plantations or non-forest land uses'. The formation of more natural conditions is not covered by this criterion.
There are no requirements for the formation of more natural conditions (e.g. from plantations to natural forest). This is OK as long as HCVs are maintained and not threatened.
Please, check the definition of 'conversion' in the Policy for Association (FSC-POL-01-004 V2-0).
We have two clients, which are certified under single certificates.
These two companies are owners of a part of their lands and concessionaires of the second part, comprised of small owners' concessions.
The small owners have contractually given full operational, administrative and responsibilities to these companies to manage the forest for 30 years, there is no ambiguity about the concession status of their lands.
Now these two companies want to enter into an FSC certification group that will be managed by a third company (Type I group, shared responsibilities). This third company is the mother company of these 2 forest companies.
We think that they can be considered as classical group members managing their own lands and concessions.
Shall each small owner be considered/become a group member?
|Normative Reference
|Criteria 1.6, 2.1; ADV-20-007-03
|Monday, 26. August 2013
No, owners don´t have to become group members, as long as the manager has explicit authorization from the owner to manage the forest in compliance with the FSC P&C.
Should the precautionary approach be applied to a decision concerning the sale of HCVF forest land which falls within the scope of an FSC FM/COC certificate to a different non-FSC certified legal entity?
|Normative Reference
|Principle 9: Maintenance of High Conservation Value Forests; Criterion 1.6
|Wednesday, 08. May 2013
FSC does not intend to regulate the sale of land containing HCVs by certified organizations or applicants, but it is expected that the organization will make every reasonable effort to safeguard the values and/or the area containing the values, including making the buyer aware of the values and measures to protect them.
How is "permanently sustained" interpreted for Criterion 5.6 in relation to calculated AAC? Based on experience working with a number of approved FSC national FM standards, it is our understanding that "permanently sustained" does not preclude harvesting levels that in any one year or perhaps even multiple years exceed what would be classified as maximum average AAC.
Or in other words it is possible to be in conformance with Criterion 5.6 when short term annual harvest volumes exceed calculated AAC if it can be justified based on long term management objectives (e.g. shifting age class distribution to a normalized state)?
|Normative Reference
|Criterion 5.6.
|Friday, 07. September 2012
Yes, it is possible, if the AAC that has been calculated based on recognised methods for a period of years, usually ten years, is complied with. Or if in case of unforeseen circumstances, e.g. calamities or storms, the AAC is adjusted.
Can a certificate holder continue to plant invasive species, such as black wattle (a highly invasive species) on a large scale in plantations established in 1930's?
|Normative Reference
|Criteria 10.8, 6.9.
|Friday, 03. February 2012
No, these plantations are not allowed unless invasive impacts can be controlled and effective mitigation measures are in place.
Under what circumstances can Canadian Non Renewable Forest License (with a 5 year term) be certified?
|Normative Reference
|Criteria 1.6, 2.1.
|Tuesday, 31. January 2012
According to FSC Principles and Criteria, a 5 year license wouldn´t be an impediment itself to achieve a Forest Management certificate. Nevertheless, long-term commitment to adhere to the FSC P&C in the Management Unit has to be guaranteed, together with clear evidence of long-term forest use rights to the land.
A statement of this long-term commitment shall be contained in a publicly available document made freely available. This document will also contain the commitments listed for the self-declaration statement required by FSC-POL-01-004 Policy for the Association of Organizations with FSC, for non-involvement in unacceptable activities.
The key factor is whether there is convincing evidence of management for the long-term stewardship of the forest. In evaluating long-term commitment to the FSC Principles and Criteria, FSC is looking for evidence of resources invested in long term management - for example in research, inventory, management planning, roading, controlled harvesting, post harvest inventory and forest protection.
In evaluating long-term forest use rights to the land, FSC is looking for clear long-term use rights of the owner. These may be partially delegated to a responsible authority, such as a concessionaire, for a shorter or longer period. FSC is then looking for clear evidence of this delegation of authority, together with the owner's commitment that the delegated authority has the right to manage the land in compliance with the FSC P&C.
Can land possession rights be considered as sufficient evidence to demonstrate long-term forest use rights to the land in the context of Brazil?
|Normative Reference
|Criterion 2.1
|Friday, 04. July 2008
Land possession rights can be considered as sufficient evidence to demonstrate long-term forest use rights to the land in the context of Brazil, provided that:
- the certificate holder (or applicant) can demonstrate to be in the process of obtaining formally registered land titles;
- the certificate holder can demonstrate the progress in obtaining formally registered land titles in each surveillance audit;
- there are no unresolved disputes of substantial magnitude over land tenure or use under possession rights (see Criterion 2.3);
- the land possession rights shall be transferred to formally registered land titles within a period of max. 5 years of including the land into the certificate.
