I was alittle nervous buying this ring it just seem too good to be true... 3/4 karat diamond ring for that cheap i had no faith and in the product description it states that its just a ring but the pic shows a set so i was nervous but it look exactly like the pic... Sparkling and big... I cant stop looking at it... If your a couple on a budget and want a nice ring until you get the "big one" this is definely a great choice.. I wanted to post a pic but it wont let me but I love it and i love the price too.. It looks like a expensive ring.. If you dont like big statement pieces then this ring is not for you... If you love big bling out fancy rings then this one is a winner..
I love this ring! Better than what I expected! The sparkle is so gorgeous! You dill not regret getting it!
i love this ring it's so beautiful i get lots of compliments. i love how it sparkles i would recommend this ring to anyone
Bought this as an engagement ring for my girlfriend. She loved it. Its sparkly and huge. If your lady is into flashy and has long slender fingers this ring will be perfect. The ring is a bit to big for Short fingers
the quality of the ring is horrible, would not recommend to anyone. false advertisement.
I had been looking at this ring for months before ordering, unfortunately I should have kept it with Overstock. It looks like it came out of a jacker box!! Very, very cheap looking. The 4 prongs sticking up got caught in my sweater, hair...scratchy....There was no sparkle or shine to it. Really cheap & gulky looking, something out of ancient time years back...ok, just plain UGLY.
much bigger than it looks but very nice.
Nice ring for a first time bride. Nice sparkles to diamonds, small size but nice
First of all the ring was sized incorrectly, or they sent me the wrong size. I have been a 7.5 with every ring I have ever owned, and I couldn't even slide this one on my finger. I see positive reviews from basically everyone else.. but I don't know how my ring got past quality control. There was a brown diamond smack dab in the middle. The ring did not look like a quality piece, and while it was priced reasonably for a diamond ring, you aren't going to fool anyone. No one is going to think its an expensive piece. You get what you pay for. I maybe would of kept it as a cocktail ring and ditched the wedding band if mine did not come with a hideous brown diamond, but it did. I would however, not choose this as an engagement ring, OR replacement engagement ring. Its more of a fun fashion ring.
i must say the ring was better than i thought it would be the problem was they sent the wrong size twice then the third ring was promised to get to me before i left to go out of town and that didnt happen and a special day was ruined the ring was sent out the day before i left to go out of town so for the inconvience and because my day was ruined i wont ever order from overstock again.

Despite being given a perfect opportunity for success, no matter what you do it ends in total failure. If the same opportunity was given to another person it would have resulted in success, but you only transform things into failure..on a very large scale.

Bring Ikea to Saskatoon
This is a petition to bring Ikea to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatoon would be an excellent location due to its geographically, central location. The people of all the many towns and cities throughout the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba would appreciate a location being placed centrally. We all love IKEA! Us, being Ikea loving prariefolk that we are, drive out of province for a minimum of 5 hours just to browse this delightful store! We\'ve done our driving and probably own more Ikea stuff than people in Calgary! LET\'S BRING IKEA TO BEAUTIFUL SASKATOON. I hope that the CEOs of IKEA Canada will consider Saskatoon for a future location.
Julie Neilson
Really? The closest IKEA to Saskatoon is in a neighboring PROVINCE????

Yesterday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule for Stage 2 criteria for "meaningful use" for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs.
In the rule, CMS proposes to specify criteria that eligible health care professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals must meet in order to qualify for an incentive payment, as well as introduce changes to the program timeline and detail payment adjustments. The proposed Stage 2 criteria focus on increasing the electronic capturing of health information in a structured format and the exchange of clinically relevant information between providers at care transitions.
CMS also proposes new objectives that have greater applicability to specialty providers and additional criteria for reporting clinical quality measures.
Physical therapists (PTs) are not defined as EPs at this time; therefore, they are not yet eligible for incentives under Medicare of Medicaid, but, accordingly, they will not be subject to penalties for failure to implement EHR systems. However, physicians and facilities that are included in the program will expect PTs with whom they share patients to use compatible EHR systems. A new APTA resource, Guide to Understanding and Adopting Electronic Health Records, can help PTs make decisions about selecting and implementing EHRs.

Alpinist Jacket
Flagship of our GORE-TEX® Pro Shell line, the incredibly resilient Alpinist is engineered to excel in the loftiest, most unforgiving places on earth. It boasts incredibly rugged and breathable fabrics, state-of-the-art three-layer construction, and a ridiculous complement of technical features.
Look for this item to be back and available in the Fall.
- Main Materials
- GORE-TEX® Pro Products 3L 100% Nylon 3.9 oz/yd
- Fit
- Athletic Fit
- Weight
- 1lbs 9.6oz (725.7g)
GORE-TEX® Pro
What is it?
The next generation of GORE-TEX® Pro products utilizes a totally new, patent pending, membrane technology. This new membrane, which is used exclusively in GORE-TEX® Pro products, consists of multiple ePTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) layers with a unique microstructure. These new GORE-TEX® Pro fabrics are Gore's most durably protective mountaineering hard shells ever.
How does it work?
Building on time tested Gore membrane technology this new generation of GORE-TEX® Pro products uses a 100% ePTFE based multi-layer membrane construction that eliminates the need for the protective Oleophobic layer of traditional GORE-TEX® Pro products allowing for increased breathability while preserving its protection against contamination.
What are the benefits of this technology?
With up to a 28% increase in breathability over current GORE-TEX® Pro laminates, this technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The new membrane technology performs better in lower humidity conditions, is more comfortable in warmer conditions caused by solar loading, and has improved dry out times in conditions with frequent work-rest cycles with.
Designed to be even more durable and rugged than past generations, the new GORE-TEX® Pro fabrics feature a new high density ripstop micro grid woven backer for snag resistance on the inside, and a collection of durable abrasion resistant face fabrics on the outside.
Performance Specifications
Waterproofness: JIS L-1092: 20,000 mm
Breathability: 3 to 6 depending fabric
What is it?
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
How does it work?
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
What are the benefits of this technology?
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.
Performance Specifications
Content: 78% Polyester, 22% Nylon
Total Weight: 32 g/m2

Ouch. Didn't see that one comming. Sad, but lets test it again in a year
Phoronix: R600 Gallium3D Loses To AMD Catalyst Legacy Driver On Windows 8
For those ATI/AMD customers with graphics cards of the Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 generations, they are supported by the "Catalyst Legacy" driver but this older proprietary driver branch is seldom updated for new Linux kernel and X.Org Server releases. Thus, the only real option for those with these older Radeon GPUs is to use the open-source Radeon Gallium3D graphics driver. But how does this driver compare to the still-maintained Catalyst Legacy driver for Windows 8? Here are some benchmarks.
Ouch. Didn't see that one comming. Sad, but lets test it again in a year
Its "high end"? r600g maybe wont ever get enough optimizations (backend for radeonSI changed, and will be main focus now), to suprass Catalyst in support for GPUs requiring lots of them.
yet again.. MICHAEL... FRAME LATENCY IS IMPORTANT NOT ON AVERAGE, BUT ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE SPIKES, ERGO AN HIGHER FRAME LATENCY AVERAGE WITH WAAAY LESS LATENCY SPIKES IS BETTER THAN LOWER AVERAGE WITH LOTS OF SPIKES
And now how does the Windows 8 catalyst compare to the Linux one? They're not exactly the same, and the legacy Catalyst for Linux still exists, even if it requires downgrading the X server.
radeon hd 3650 still gets lockups while or after running games/3D apps on free drivers (it's random but once u start 3D app it's 100% of getting a lockup within an hour)
Useless comparison... Apples to oranges...
Framerate speed is not the only thing that matters in a graphics driver. In Windows 7, Blender feels much more responsive, and selecting objects takes less than a second, whereas in Linux (with the lastest open source AMD drivers) sometimes it takes more than 5 seconds to select a different object.
Second that.
For latency avrg is equal to avrg FPS... Here is some good article about good methodology for couting and comparing latency:
Hope its easy enought to integrate into PTS.

"In the Sticks" is silly, absurd, smart and LOL funny. It's an affable strip about an ex-golf professional who's inherited a nearly bankrupt golf club populated by three very odd animals who (usually) try to help him make it work.

Unfortunately for me, the ET:QW demo doesn't seem to be very dual core friendly at all on my 32 bit Kubuntu gutsy and Intel C2D E6400.
Can you explain a bit more about how you configured the game to use multiple cores?
I think only one CPU is being detected by the game.
When I run the game and watch cpu monitors, one CPU gets a lot of use and the other gets barely any at all.
When I try setting the variable "r_useSMP" to "1" the game segfaults.
When I click to auto-detect my graphics settings, it sets everything to lowest quality even though I have E6400 3GB RAM NVIDIA 7950 GTS 512MB. And the console output says parsing error when it tries to read /proc/cpuinfo. Even though /proc/cpuinfo is readable by the user and shows both CPUs. The console output also seems to show only one detected Intel CPU.
When I try to look at "sys_cpuSpeed" and "sys_cpuPhysicalCount" in game, neither variable exists.
So there is a bug in the game for me. Any of this happen for you? Or anyone else with dual core? Any at all?
Also where can the netdemo used in this article be downloaded so we can compare against these results?

Buffalo News Special Report:
Third of a four-part series
There was less than 24 hours left to strike a budget deal.
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz had failed to convince legislators that a tax hike was needed during hastily called meetings over sandwiches and chips.
So Poloncarz, on the eve of the budget vote, insisting he was still open to compromise, summoned reporters to his 16th-floor office suite to hammer home his view that legislators were about to push through "fake cuts" and "phony gimmicks."
"They're wrong and they know that," Poloncarz said.
And later: "They're too damn afraid of making the hard decision that's necessary."
Some legislators found Poloncarz's tone insulting. A day later, they pushed through their own budget cuts.
It's the type of scene that many who have worked with Poloncarz say defines his first year in office.
He's smart and works hard. He knows a lot about county finances, but he was unable to work out a deal to get his budget plan passed.
And one other thing. He doesn't have the personality of your typical glad-handing politician. Just the opposite, some say. In fact, when describing Poloncarz, words like aloof and bland are as likely to come up as intelligent and analytical.
"There's no personality or charisma," a Williamsville businesswoman observed.
"Not friendly," said a 53-year-old Buffalo Democrat.
"Thinks he knows it all," said another community leader.
As part of a series of surveys on leadership in Buffalo and Erie County, The Buffalo News asked local business, community, government and political leaders their views on Poloncarz and his first year as county executive.
The survey found uncertainty over Erie County's future, particularly regarding the county's finances and what some see as a lack of vision from the county executive. Forty-five percent of those surveyed said the county is headed in the right direction, while 30 percent said it is not. Another 24.5 percent are unsure.
"The county lost more residents in the last 10 years than any other New York State county," one community leader said.
A slim majority – 51 percent – said Poloncarz has what it takes to move the county in the right direction.
As for Poloncarz's first year in office, more of those surveyed liked what they saw than didn't, but for many, the jury is still out. About 43 percent say Poloncarz did an above-average job in his first year. About 30 percent describe his first year as average, and another 27 percent as below average.
"He's got the ability to be a good county executive," said Robert M. Glaser, a Republican who served as chairman of the Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority. "I think he's still growing into the job."
Poloncarz gets kudos for reaching a lease deal with the Buffalo Bills, for supporting county libraries and cultural institutions in his budget and for the way he's dealt with county unions. He also gets praise for the quality of his top staff, particularly Deputy County Executive Richard M. Tobe.
But it was Poloncarz's handling of his first budget proposal that leaders most often cited as his biggest failure.
Hard-line stance on budget
Criticism of how Poloncarz handled the budget came from all sides – Democrats and Republicans, those who rated his overall performance as above average and those who gave him lower marks.
For some, it was simply that Poloncarz sought a tax increase. For others, it was the inability of a Democratic county executive to push his spending plan through a County Legislature that Democrats controlled. That also reflected criticism from some leaders that Poloncarz's personality sometimes gets in the way.
"He's a bit too 'my way or the highway,' but after his budget battle defeat, perhaps he's getting better," one Democrat said. "He needs to learn to compromise. He may not be as politically astute as he thinks he is."
Some legislators saw Poloncarz's offer for a budget compromise as "too little, too late" when it became clear that the Legislature wasn't going for his plan. Needing just one more vote to pass his budget, Poloncarz sought a deal in the final days through Legislator Kevin R. Hardwick, a City of Tonawanda Republican.
"I think that the county executive decided that he was willing to seek a compromise at the last minute," Hardwick said, "but those sorts of discussions should have started a lot sooner."
Looking back, Poloncarz doesn't see the budget as his failure, but instead a failure on the part of legislators to see "the reality of the issues that we were facing."
Could he have worked earlier to tailor a budget deal that legislators would have accepted?
Maybe, he conceded during a recent interview. But he has come to believe "there were some legislators who would not have voted for any tax increase, no matter what we did." People forget, he said, that he proposed the tax increase only after trimming $20 million from the budget and dipping into the surplus.
"Every time we thought we had a chance to negotiate a budget deal, the goal posts were moved," Poloncarz said. "I've always said compromise is not a bad word, but it takes two people to compromise. If one side says they're willing to compromise, but then they do not and they move the goal posts, who's at fault there?"
While the budget battle defined Poloncarz's first year for many survey respondents, it was his personality that stood out in his leadership style.
An overall grade of C+
The News sent three separate surveys to 320 government officials and business and community leaders in Erie County. One asked people to rate the county executive, but only if they had direct interaction with him; 117 people responded to that survey.
The respondents gave the county executive an average grade of 3.3, or a C+, on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) on 18 leadership categories.
He scored average or above average on each category. His top grades were in intelligence and work ethic. His lowest scores were for vision and temperament. That was hammered home by the top weaknesses cited – those related to his personality, a perceived lack of vision and a potential to be too partisan.
His greatest strength, by far, was the fiscal and legal knowledge he brought to the job as a former county comptroller and attorney.
"He has some of the qualities you would desire in a leader, but in the end, his deficient interpersonal skills will be his downfall," a Republican said.
It's not just his critics who faulted Poloncarz for a prickly persona.
"Sometimes lacks people skills," wrote one community leader, a Buffalo Democrat, who otherwise gave Poloncarz high marks across the board and rated his overall performance as "excellent."
Poloncarz is the first to acknowledge that he's not a "back-slapper."
He's not the type to work a room with glad-handing and smiles. He likes a debate, a chance to pick apart an argument and employ the Socratic method he learned in law school.
"Some people don't like it that I'm willing to stand up for what I believe and sit there and say, 'I think you're wrong and here's why,' " Poloncarz said. "They're used to the back-slapper elected official who will say anything to anyone to get a vote and keep them happy."
He knows that can rub people the wrong way, but he sees it as standing up for what he sees as right. He'll put it in writing, too.
Last April, after Legislator Joseph C. Lorigo, a West Seneca Conservative, criticized Poloncarz's four-year plan in a column that appeared in the West Seneca Bee, Poloncarz sent out a four-page letter picking apart the piece and accusing Lorigo of leveling "factually inaccurate partisan attacks towards my administration in a cheap attempt to score political points."
The letter was copied to the entire County Legislature, the county control board and the county comptroller.
"It was completely over the top," said Lorigo, a frequent critic of the Poloncarz administration. "He doesn't know how to respond rationally. I think the best leaders, whether it be county executive, mayor or president, are people that can effectively communicate their point of view without being so partisan."
Misleading public persona
Others say Poloncarz's public persona is misleading. Get to know him, and he's even-tempered, likable and approachable.
"He clearly is not a dynamic personality that lights up a room like a former Gov. Mario Cuomo or a Bill Clinton," said Daniel C. Oliverio, who met Poloncarz when Oliverio served as chairman of the county's Fiscal Stability Authority. "But on a personal level, Mark is a gentleman. He's interesting to talk to, and we've had difficult conversations. But they've always been productive, and he was willing to listen."
And those hard-line stances?
Especially when it came to the budget, supporters see those as the county executive's strong belief in what he sees as right for the county.
"He's not going to do something out of political expediency that's going to hurt the county," said Robert M. Graber, a fellow Democrat and clerk of the Erie County Legislature. "Because he really does care about the county, the people and the services."
On the survey, respondents ranked his "ability to compromise" slightly above average, and that was among Poloncarz's five lowest-scored leadership qualities.
But he also got one of his highest scores – a 3.85 out of 5 – for providing leadership on an issue that took a great deal of compromise: striking a deal with the Buffalo Bills to lease Ralph Wilson Stadium for the next 10 years.
That's not the only area he showed leadership, according to some.
Compromise on land bank
Poloncarz proved he could compromise early in his first year with the creation of a regional land bank to deal with vacant and abandoned properties, said Sam Magavern, co-director of the Partnership for the Public Good.
The application to win a spot in the state's new land bank program was almost derailed by disagreement over how much control the City of Buffalo would have on the board overseeing the regional land bank. Mayor Byron W. Brown wanted the city to have six seats on the 11-member board. Poloncarz initially wanted the city to have three.
It was clear that if the city and the county submitted separate applications, the chances of either getting the state's approval would be slim. A Saturday morning meeting between the two leaders averted that situation. In the end, the city got five seats. The county got three.
"The ability to collaborate with the city on that was great," Magavern said. "He had just taken office and didn't have a pre-existing working relationship with the mayor, particularly, so I thought it was impressive that the two of them worked together on an important thing. ... It spoke well about both of them."
It is those victories that Poloncarz focuses on when he looks back on his first year, not whether area leaders rate him as "not very friendly."
Public, private lives
Poloncarz breaks apart his public and private lives.
There's Poloncarz, the county executive, the guy who spent six years in the county comptroller's office. Then there's Poloncarz, the guy who grew up in Lackawanna and still plays rounds at South Park Golf Club.
"The person that I am with my friends that I've known for 30 years is not necessarily the same person that I'm going to be around a group of people I've never met before," Poloncarz said. "Some elected officials and politicians will act as if you're my best friend that I've known for three decades, even if I just met you three minutes ago. That's not me."
The personality issue is not unique to Poloncarz among county executives.
Former County Executive Chris Collins was often criticized as aloof and arrogant during his term. Former County Executive Dennis T. Gorski was also viewed as having a personality issue.
In a Buffalo News survey conducted in 1990, two years into his term, Gorski received a below-average rating for his temperament. That improved to above average in a subsequent survey, done in 1999, toward the end of his third term. Gorski's overall score was 3.5 out of a possible 5 in the 1990 survey and 3.6 in the 1999 one.
To Poloncarz, the job is about substance, not style. "My responsibility is not to keep everybody happy as the county executive of good times," Poloncarz said. "My goal is to ensure that I'm the county executive who runs a tight ship, who ensures that the services that the public wants, demands and needs are provided as effectively and efficiently as possible."
When it comes to those goals, however, some say Poloncarz hasn't clearly communicated his vision.
Low grade for vision
The county executive got his lowest leadership quality score – a 3.01, or just about average – for vision. Poloncarz wasn't surprised. Some of the region's leaders, he said, just haven't heard his message after one year in office. He believes that will change, especially after delivering his first State of the County address last week and detailing his economic development agenda later this spring.
"We've got a proven track record of a year in office," Poloncarz said. "And now I can really put down my stamp of what I want and what I see as the vision for my administration and this community going forward."
As he does that, Oliverio said, Poloncarz and other county leaders will need to "sacrifice a little partisanship for some vision and some political risk to benefit all of us."
"We're at a crossroads here in Erie County with the situation with the state where we're going to have to do more ourselves," Oliverio said. "That's going to require some leadership, some risk and politicians taking a stand for the good of the community."

You know about TED Talks, right? They are exciting and fascinating presentations from brilliant experts about important science discoveries and ideas of our time. They reach a global audience and contribute the spread of knowledge.
CHAD Chats are no different, except that they are presented by comedians about subjects in which they have very little formal training. And they happen in a bar. And they are hilarious.
Next Thursday, Nov. 10, catch Famous Author Mykle Hansen and local performers Dax Jordan, Virginia Jones, Christian Ricketts, and Reuben Nisenfeld speaking satirically and at length about Really Important Ideas. I will be facilitating the affair. Topics will include Ending Poverty through Facebook Statuses, Cats, Abraham Lincoln's pants, Brain Chemistry, Everything, Nothing, and Carl Sagan.
Presentations begin promptly at 8pm on Thursday November 10th at THE SARATOGA BAR, 6910 N. Interstate. Full bar and menu. The bar's monthly X-rated open-mic comedy (the Smutty Clown! which I also host alongside Sterling Clark) will follow. Good times will abound!

On the 8th day of Christmas Beyond the Picket Fence gave me...a star that is quick and EASY!
For this 15 minute project I started with some great old barn wood--I joined two pieces together to make more of a square piece. I drew a star on it with chalk.
I then screwed a rusty, old painted screw into the 5 points of the star.
Starting at the top I wrapped some ribbon around each screw,
and tied the top off with a bow.
Fun, easy, and a great way to add Christmas cheer.
I am linking up at Jennifer Rizzo and at Shanty to Chic

Senate Aerospace Caucus on Defense Investment Remarks, Senator Patty Murray

Defense investment accounts not only support current operations, they also ensure that our troops will always have the tactical advantage of technological superiority, according to a new report released by AIA.
"We all recognize the need to address the nation's debt and deficit spending," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey at a Senate Aerospace Luncheon. "On the surface, defense investments are easy reductions. But with a worldwide mission and a limited number of service members, we must make up in technological capability what we lack in numbers."
The report,…
The future of the U.S. human spaceflight program is at a critical juncture, said Aerospace Industries Association Vice President for Space Frank Slazer.
"Cutting exploration budgets any further threatens our economic growth potential and risks our leadership in space," Slazer said in testimony before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Science and Space. "As a nation we can choose to continue our leadership in manned exploration and innovation or inevitably fall behind."
U.S. space technology and its many spin-offs have fueled our economy and made us an unquestioned world leader. However, with the…

Kitchen Window My kitchen window over the sink had been bare since we moved in (over a year). I couldn't decide if I wanted a blind or shade so I just put off buying anything. I considered that water would be a factor in what I chose, So I decided to go with a blind rather than a shade that could be affected by water splashing on it. I couldn't believe the difference in having a really nice blind in that plain window. Now not only does it look better, I can control the amount of light I get when I'm at the sink. My husband had no problem with installing the inside mount and the measurement was perfect. Everything needed for installation was included and it took him probably ten minutes, maybe less, to install. My kitchen is a pale green so I went with the really white color. The price was right, the look was right which made for a great purchase.

Awesome blinds! These are great! I installed them about 2 weeks ago and they look high end! It took me about an hour to install the first one but once I knew how to do it the next one took 15 minutes. Just remember that the valance (it isn't labeled in the directions) is the decorative covering piece that is installed after the blinds - the plastic pieces in the hardware packet are for putting the 3 valance pieces together and for hanging the valance on the headrail. I will be ordering more for our house.

The renewal process is a two-step process as follows:
The application can either be submitted on-line or via paper.
You can read written instructions demonstrating how to apply for renewal on-line or watch a ten-minute video on the renewal process. NVAP strongly recommends you not postpone the renewal process until just before your accreditation expires. The database you access to take your APHIS Approved Supplemental Training and retrieve your certificates of completion, as well as the database you access to apply for renewal of accreditation may be unavailable at any time due to maintenance schedules or technical problems outside our control.
Or you can renew using a paper VS Form 1-36A application, which you will sign in ink and mail to your NVAP Coordinator.
You may complete your training anytime during your three-year renewal cycle but may not apply to renew your accreditation until six months prior to your assigned Accreditation Renewal Date (ARD).
If you do not know your ARD, contact your local Veterinary Services (VS) NVAP Coordinator in the State where your business address is located. The National Veterinary Accreditation Program sends e-mail reminders six, three, and one month prior to your ARD. If you prefer to receive one reminder via US Postal Service three months prior to your ARD in lieu of e-mail reminders, contact your VS NVAP Coordinator and request that they remove your email address from our records.
If you perform accredited duties in more than one State, it is only necessary to renew your accreditation one time.
Still have questions?
For import/export questions, contact the VS Export Service Center.
For NVAP questions, see Additional Information or contact your local NVAP Coordinator or email the NVAP at email@example.com.
