Brought this chair, because of it's weight cap. I weight 259lbs, chair said it was rated at 350lbs. It lasted from Dec.2010 till Feb 2012. The seat base is made of cheap & thin plywood. Where the base screws attach to the seat, the plywood busted. All I can add is think befor you buy this chair.
The chair is big and wide and very comfy-the only thing I don't like really is the tilt on it will go forwards a lot but not backwards-so it's almost like your ready to get up and go in a way-especially if you tilt it all the way forward-the long seat does go downward a bit-I will be buying a little ottoman which will help with my sitting position. The fabric is like a suede texture also.
Yes, this is a good heavy duty chair. It is nothing like the ones sold in story. If you are a heavy set person then this is the one for you and the price is a great value for the money.
I got this as a gift and they love it. Was easy to put together, comfortable and accommodating. The only complaint I have is the way it arrived. It came via UPS and the packaging was so beat up (and some of it had been completely ripped off) I thought for sure that it would be damaged and have pieces missing, fortunately though it was fine. The chair isn't even 60lbs but that's what UPS billed the package as.
It's been a couple of weeks since I assembled the chair, so that experience is behind me enough to not overshadow my whole experience with the chair. I work at home on the phone and at my computer, so I've used this chair quite a lot since I got it. Overall, as my review rating indicates, it's a good chair. All of the materials are sturdy and I don't think it's going to break like my last chair did. (I weigh 280). The cushions seem stiff at first, but this chair is rated to support 350 lbs for 8 hours, so keep that in mind. The seat doesn't tilt, but the backrest does and you can lock it in any position.
I can't reach the knob under the chair in the front that controls the unlocked seatback tension, and the default setting is very weak. So, I have the seatback locked all the time, but I change the locked position every so often for comfort. OK, I'm going to pass on a few tips on assembly. Follow the instructions literally. Yeah, I tried what I thought would be easier but I just wasted my time and effort. Mainly, instructions say to not tighten anything until final assembly. They mean it because nothing is aligned with the pre-drilled holes automatically. You assemble it loose enough so that you can push and squeeze everything to line up the holes and brackets and put in a bolt. Follow the diagrams, too. You need to position the chair parts as shown or you will have the wrong approach to push/squeeze the parts into position.I wish the instructions had explained all this to me. I still don't have the bolt screwed into the back where the frame attaches to the backrest. I could never get it to line up with the blind, sunken nut built inside the backrest. But, it's not moving or anything so I think it's ok. Good luck!
I was tired of buying the cheap chairs that broke after a few month because they were built for the 'average-size' person. I am not average size and need a larger chair. This one fits the need to a 'T.' It is easy to assemble if you follow the instructions and only takes a half-hour, at most. I have been using it for the past three weeks and it is starting to take on my individual shape. Every day it is more comfortable. Anybody who is at the top end of 200 pounds or larger should invest in a chair that actually feels good to sit in for the entire day.
I have this chair for 3 years being in use daily for more than (13) yes thirteen HRS, and it is like unused. Holds tight, functions with no noises, there is no instability, everything is perfect. You won't believe.
I'm going to review this chair even tho i've only had it together for a few hours as i've owned quite a few others to compare to.Yes its heavy duty. I weigh over 300 lbs. and i can see it easily handling my weight.Seat is very wide and firm but may soften with time.I've had others that seem fine only to go flat in a few weeks or months.Arm rests are made of heavy duty vinyl so maybe they wont peel and crack after awhile.
The chair isn't that hard to assemble.The armrests and coasters are already attached,HOWEVER...the screw holes don't align up with the too large slotted holes so grab you some washers before you assemble or some will sink down into them.Also the screw hole in the back of the seat that supports the armrest would just spin when tightned and therefore rattles when you lean back.Thats another bad thing,tho a hiback seat,it doesn't lean back much at all.I don't know why some reviews said it wasn't for short people.I'm very short legged and i can lower it more than enough.The 2 separete paddles to adjust it seem alot lower and harder to reach than other chairs i've owned.Shipping was free to store and fast.Its the only hiback heavy duty walmart sells at the time of this review so i had to get it as Best Buy,Staples and Office Depot didn't have but moderate use(2-4 hours) only office chairs.
I wish walmart would add a edit option to their reviews so i can come back after a few months to let people now if the seat softened,if armrests crack,pressure cylinder held up etc.
I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it. Can hardly get him out of it. I searched for chairs online, the same chair on an office website is 350.00 so I think this is a great deal. Specially with the 97 cent shipping.
This product exceeded all my expectations except for one. It took us 4 hours on Christmas day to put the chair together because the holes were not drilled out correctly. We still don't have the screw screwed into the back of the chair for the arms but there's 8 screws holding it together underneath so it's fine. I bought this for my boyfriend whose back would hurt sitting in a regular office chair. He's right at the 300 lb mark and he says after a week of sitting in it that this IS the most comfortable and supportive office chair ever.
Thankfully I read the reviews on this product before I bought it, so I was prepared for the challenges of assembly. I did not tighten any of the screws before final assembly and had a relatively easy assembly. Please note, the screws for attaching the arms and back of the chair to the seat are screwed into the underside of the chair (don't go looking for the screws in a plastic baggie).
I'm very satisfied with the sturdiness of the chair and the comfort! Great buy considering many of the other chairs for plus/over sized people are $300-$500 range. Thanks to all the previous reviewers who helped me make an informed decision!
Had this chair for over a year and it hasn't gotten any better! When it first came the seat seemed very hard and uncomfortable. A assumed that over time it would soften up as many do. Was I wrong! It is as hard and uncomfortable today as the day it arrived. It is well built and would make a decent chair for the shop but definitely not a desk chair that you would sit in for any length of time. Even pads don't help. The seat is just not made for sitting!
This is a throne. From which I may reach out over the internet and expand my Empire. It comes with a six year warranty. In six years I will have complete dominion over mankind. All will live to serve me. Or they will perish for their arrogance. Feel my Power!
Easy setup, took like 10 minutes, good instructions. Not to stiff, tilt back great feature. Quality construction. Perfect for 294 LB user.
I had read other user reviews before I purchased this chair. The experiences given regarding the bolts and alignments were somewhat daunting. Maybe the manufacturer got the feed back and re-acted positively. When my chair arrived, true to reports, the outer packaging was pretty beat up but the chair was intact and not damaged. All of the parts were present and accounted for. There were no loose bolts....they all had been placed in the appropriate holes and screwed in lightly to insure they fit. That was good news. The chair parts are a little cumbersome and heavy so if you're not a strong person enlist the help of a friend (or your mother-in-law). It didn't take nearly as long to assemble as I was led to believe. Over all, the chair has proven to be very sturdy, not that bad to look at and a good value. The black micro-suede is going to be hard to keep free of dust and lint. The chair seat could use a little more cushion for me.
The chair is not that comfortable and has limited mobility, the height the chair can go is shorter than I actually need. I think the price should be lower based of these factors
The chair is strong and sturdy and is the best one I've ever had.I weigh 270 pounds and feel very comfortable sitting in this chair.It is wider than the average office chair and I'm very pleased with it.My only complaint is the arm pads.They are comfortable
but the material is poor quality.The covering cracks and crumbles.I've complained to the company several times about this.They have been very courteous and have sent
me several replacement pads.They keep falling apart.I may just get some good material and recover them myself.Still I love this chair and can live with the cheap
arm pads.
This chair is a dream! We bought it as we figured it would be made with better quality if it was made for a big man. We were right. My husband weighs 125 and he just loves it! It is so very comfortable to sit in, (for me too).... It was a breeze to put together also..
If you are looking for a quality office chair, that isn't skimmy or cheap, then purchase this one!!!
It rates up there with our first $750.00 chair that finally wore out! Thanks Wal-Mart for carrying such a swell buy!!!!
I'm not thrilled with being fat, but since I am it has been a problem finding a comfortable office chair that I can do computer work in for about 8 hours per day. This chair fits the bill. The seat is wide and deep and so far comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a "big person" chair.
I researched chairs on line and this one appeared to be the best value and Walmart had the best price. Same chair listed at Sears and K-mart for over $200.00.
When they say: "Big Man's chair" they are not kidding! This chair is big! Heavy duty casters etc... Very sturdy!
I wish the arm rests would elevate up and down, but I guess they are stationary for a reason...to be solid, which this chair is.
This is not a plastic cheaply built chair - it is a powerhouse chair. I would recommend this chair not only to someone that is big, but for anyone. It is very comfortable!

Okay, Tigers interview after Sunday's round. Anyone else sick of this act? I could care less if he ever plays another round of golf ever. Rory comes out after blowing up, and graciously answers questions from his heart. Tiger gives one word answers and is ignorant in his body language. After all he was through you would think he would have learned to treat people right. He is just an ignorant so and so.

I posted a similar thread in the 'Beekeeping 101' Forum, so if anyone is seeing this for the second time, my apologies.
My family and I harvested our first honey over Easter by crushing a combs-worth of comb scraps trimmed from the combs of a feral hive that I recently transferred to a deep lang hive body from a bridhouse where they had taken residence for the last year or so (I responded to a swarm call from a panicked old lady who had just recently seen the bees entering and leaving her birdhouse :-). All the comb scraps were from the top of the combs and contained mainly honey cap (after a few cells of pollen and larvae were picked out by hand).
The honey tastes very good, but is cloudy becase even after straining three times with a very fine mesh strainer, it is full of tiny particles of wax suspended in the honey. The combs were old ad brittle, and I suspect that may have something to do with the increased 'wax powder' that ended up in this honey (versus harvesting from fresh wax).
I am pretty sure that if I heat the honey to 150 degrees or so that the wax particulate will melt and seperate from the honey, but this will also likely result in pasteurizing the honey. So I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with the following questions:
1/ should I worry about trying to get the wax particulate out of the honey or forget about it? I don't care too much about the cloudiness but it does impart a mild wax taste and more importantly, when put in tea, for example, it leaves a small residue of melted wax on the cup and on any spoon used to stir.
2/ Aside from straining yet again, what is the best technique to filter wax particulate out of honey?
3/ I undertand that heating the honey above 100 degrees F may pasteurize it and destroy some of the natural goodness, but how bad is it really? Am I better off having cloudy/waxy/all-natural honey, or clear/pasteurized honey?
Appreciate any help anyone can give me with this waxy/cloudy honey problem...

Southern California - August 5, 2013
This report covers conditions and observations made between Monday, July 1 and Sunday August 4, 2013. The next report is scheduled for Monday, September 2, 2013. However, in the event of any significant occurrences prior to that date, this site will be updated as soon as possible.
This report's photos for the southern region show a shaker removing the crop from a young planting in Madera County and the windrowed nuts waiting to be picked up in Kern County. Our final image shows the degree of hull split visible in the Padre variety in Kern County in a planting also showing the leaf burn caused by excessive salinity levels.
Hot to very hot temperatures dominated the conditions during July in the southern San Joaquin Valley, with a mild respite in the period's closing days. Daily maximum temperatures reached to as high as 110 degrees during the first days of the month, continuing the heat wave that began in the previous period. Temperatures moderated slightly as the days progressed, dipping into the lower 90 during the milder days of the month and reaching a few degrees over the century mark on the warmest. Morning lows followed a similar trend, remaining at uncomfortable levels in the mid and upper 70's during the warmest days and ranging from the lower 60's to lower 70's for much of the period. Monsoonal moisture coursing northward from Mexico created uncomfortable humidity levels on several occasions during the month and spawned a few afternoon thunderstorms as well, most notably over the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Pre-harvest activities dominated grower's attention during July as they prepared for the upcoming harvest. Irrigation and control measures for mites and Navel Orange Worm drew the greatest amount of attention as growers worked against the high temperatures to manage moisture levels while working to reduce the incidence of fungal infections on the splitting hulls. Many have been fighting increasing populations of web-spinning mites for several weeks, particularly in the Kern and Tulare County, but also in areas of Fresno County as well. Heaviest infestations have resulted in a degree of defoliation in many plantings in those areas. Growers have completed treatments for Navel Orange Worm and will be working to complete shaking of their most susceptible varieties prior to the initiation of the next flight of adult moths in an effort to reduce the degree of rejected kernels in the crop. Ant bait applications have also been conducted by growers with excessive populations of damaging species.
As shown in the photos accompanying this report, harvest operations have begun in the southern region, with the first orchard of the year shaken on July 19th northeast of Bakersfield in Kern County. Since that time, observers have noted that the pace of operations has increased steadily in orchards throughout Kern and Tulare counties. Shakers also began moving through orchards in western Fresno and Madera counties in the closing days of July. The combined effects of deficit irrigation practices, heavy mite pressure and the increasing levels of salinity have accelerated harvest dates in many southern region plantings. As a result, growers are anticipating moving through their orchards at a fairly brisk pace. While many in the region expecting to begin shaking within the next two weeks, the first product shaken was picked up and delivered to the huller/sheller in the period's closing days.
Many growers are hoping to squeeze in an irrigation after removing the Nonpareil and prior to shaking their pollenizer varieties. Growers are being very judicious in their irrigations this year, wanting to conserve ample water needed for the all-important post harvest irrigation needed to support the now differentiating flowers buds forming for the 2014 crop.

SPL: Rangers take over at the top of the table
Rangers took a massive step towards the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title when they clinched victory in the final Old Firm derby of the season.
Steven Davis proved to be the difference between the two teams when he grabbed the only goal of the game at Ibrox.
The victory could prove pivotal in the title race as Rangers move two points ahead of Celtic into pole position with just three games remaining.
Kevin Kyle kept Falkirk bottom of the table as he again proved his worth to Kilmarnock with a crucial equaliser in today's 1-1 draw at Rugby Park.
The Bairns were outplayed in the first half but Darren Barr headed them in front 11 minutes after the break.
The visitors looked set to climb off the foot of the table but goalkeeper Dani Mallo let Kyle's 20-yard strike squirm through his hands midway through the second half.
Falkirk did cut the deficit at the bottom to two points, while Killie remain embroiled in an intriguing relegation battle.
St Mirren stayed second bottom after losing 3-1 at home to Motherwell.
Teenager Jamie Murphy opened the scoring for the visitors with a 13th-minute header and David Clarkson then contributed a goal in each half for Well.
Substitute Stephen O'Donnell, making his comeback from injury, sparked a late rally when he scored with a fine volley, but it proved a mere consolation as the Paisley side remained mired in the relegation fight.

Parents concerned about their underage youth going to a paddock dance party advertised on Facebook don't need to worry, according to organisers.
They say security will be heavy at the event being held at Horohoro tomorrow night.
A couple of parents have contacted The Daily Post concerned there won't be enough supervision for the 500-or-so youth who have already indicated on Facebook that they intend going.
Two Rotorua DJs, Ngarimu Voss and Tony Gallacher, are hosting the STDJ's 121212 Party with up to 1700 young people invited on the Facebook page, with 503 stating they are going and 211 indicating they may go.
One parent, who didn't want to be named, contacted The Daily Post said she and her husband were concerned about the legitimacy of the dance party and whether police knew about it.
"Do the police know in case 800 people turn up and get out of control?"
She is also concerned the young people may get hurt if it rains.
"If it rains, are the kids going to get electrocuted because some cowboy set up the stage electrics? How about refunds if it's a thunderstorm or, these days, a tornado," she asked.
Another parent, who also didn't want to be identified, questioned how safe her daughter was going to be at the event.
"You will have hundreds of kids there. I'm sure they won't have enough security to keep on top of that many kids. They can take alcohol and drugs in and nobody will know any better. Kids can be cunning."
Mr Voss, who organised the event, said parents need not worry as security would be tight at the alcohol and drug-free dance party.
"It will be a safe environment and something fun ... our security people are very experienced and will be checking everyone and bags before people can come in. They will also be checking cars for alcohol and drugs," he said. "It will be confiscated ... We just won't let it in. We are really strict on that. We want them to see you can have a good time without alcohol and drugs."
At the first Under-age Dance Party held last year, between 500 and 600 youth turned up, Mr Voss said.
They are expecting about the same number or a few more this year.
"There is just nothing for them like this in Rotorua. We just felt there was a massive opening for this. I've got a sister this age and she tells me what goes on at youth parties. I thought there could be a better environment for them to party in than getting drunk and taking drugs and the party spilling out on to the street. You don't have to get drunk to have a good time."
However, there have been a few hiccups setting up this year - from finding the right outdoor venue to a ticket thief.
One of the young people selling tickets told them her wallet and tickets had been stolen but it soon transpired she was telling lies, Mr Voss said.
"She was under-selling the tickets and keeping the money for herself."
Rotorua police Acting Senior Sergeant in charge of community services Mike Membrey said police had not been notified about the event, but previous events run by the same people had been run "fairly well" with few incidents.
"They have been run before without many issues, they do use security and fence it off and do their best to control it," he said. "We're not endorsing it. The party comes with its own risks with people driving to and from the venue, possibly with alcohol being consumed before or after the event prior to travelling, which police are concerned about."
Pre-event tickets cost $15 and are available from XPloit or $20 at the gate.
Gates open at 7.30pm on Wednesday December 12. Nobody will enter or can re-enter the paddock after 9.15pm.
The dance party will go through until 1am.

Where I stayed
Hotel President Palace
Alan woke the next day to find that he too was suffering from Bukhara Belly. In fact he was so sick that I actually felt pretty good when I looked at him. Naim was keen to cancel our proposed stay in a yurt camp at Nurata in the Kyzylkum Desert and I hastily agreed. A night in a yurt camp in the middle of the boiling hot desert without proper toilets or access to any medical help sounded horrendous. I think Alan was too sick to even take in our decision.
Our trip from Bukhara to Samarkand was long and tedious. Alan was lying in the back seat of the car, almost delirious and only surfacing when we had to scream to a stop to let him out to be sick on the side of the road.
We now often joke that like Alexander the Great in the 3rd century BC, Alan left his DNA all along the Silk Road
On the way to Samarkand we stopped off at a ceramics workshop where we met up with a number of people who were part of two large bus tours, an English tour and oddly to us in an Islamic country, an Israeli tour. We were to find that a number of people on their tours had gone down with similar stomach problems. One of the tour guides gave Naim a name of some medicine that "only worked for Uzbekistan stomach infections". We duly bought heaps of this stuff from a local "dorixona" or drug store. Fortunately for us, you can buy prescription drugs over the counter in Uzbekistan.
We finally reached Samarkand and were delighted with our new modern and comfortable Hotel President. Four nights here in absolute comfort was certainly appreciated. Once again we were on bread and Viola cheese for dinner.
At the Hotel President we once again caught up with some of our English and Israeli friends who were part of the bus tours. Unlike a German bus tour group we met in Khiva, they were very happy with their tours and a pleasant group to be with
It was very hard to get information from our Pakistan travel agent. We had no phone and the Internet was prohibitively slow – it took me exactly 60 minutes to send one email to our Pakistan agent – and without a phone that actually worked, our trip there was beginning to concern us, err - me. But how lucky could I be? At breakfast one morning I noticed a large group of (obviously) Pakistani businessmen at the hotel. Well, of course it didn't really help us when I asked about current safety issues in northern Pakistan. One group said it was "quite safe" in the Northern Areas, the other group looks grim and sadly shook their heads. Alan said it served me right – we were going there anyway…..
The next day Alan was still sick and I was still queasy. I could not believe that he downed two fried eggs for breakfast though…..
We found the food in Uzbekistan for us to be pretty ordinary
Breakfast, however was a real challenge. Plates of cold pancakes, sweet stale bread, dried out splitting slices of processed cheese, sliced cucumber, chunks of fatty salamis and incubating ponds of floating frankfurters were enough to frighten the boldest appetites. No wonder Alan stuck to the eggs.
The ubiquitous Plov is the national dish for Uzbekistan. It really is a rice pilau that includes cubes of mutton, vegetables, spices and lamb fat or oil - and heaps of it. How it could be regarded as an aphrodisiac was beyond us. Other staples are the ubiquitous shashlyk, usually fatty mutton, and all varieties of laghman - soupy meat flavoured noodles that are quite tasty until you get to the large lump of congealed mutton fat in the bottom of the bowl.
Alan survived the fried eggs and we spent a very sedate day. Our hotel was near the university grounds of Samarkand and was surrounded by leafy wide roads and large parks
University students approached us on many occasions, interested to find out what country we were from and using their conversations to practice their English skills. They were genuinely friendly and a delight to talk with.
The architecture of the local government buildings was interesting. It was quite European, dignified and very attractive with pastel coloured buildings, white pillars and ornate white trimmings.
Our walk that afternoon was that of a walk with a mission. We were obviously feeling better and were more so when Alan found a shop selling beer. And cold beer too. Furthermore, we found a number of restaurants that looked pleasant and were only a couple of kilometers from our hotel.
That evening we ventured out for our first real meal in days and thoroughly enjoyed a meal at the lovely restaurant Staraya Arba
We understood that it is difficult to negotiate a taxi in Uzbekistan so we opted to walk there and back to these restaurants. After, we had been walking all day and another four or five kilometers or so would do us no harm. What we didn't realise was that electricity is rationed at night time and so there are no street lights. And as no-one eats until at least 9.00 pm in summer, we faced long and very dark walks home along the tree lined footpaths flanking the large Samarkand parks. While we encountered no problems at all, it was very threatening to be walking alone in such dark and lonely areas. And it was probably pretty stupid to do so too.

Bail Bond Premium
Bail Bond Premium
The bail bond premium is the cost to post a bail bond, which in many states is restricted by law to 10% of the bond amount. For example, if a bond is set at $10,000, a $1000 premium would be paid to the bail bond company in exchange for posting the bail bond and releasing the defendant from custody. In some cases, a bond can be written for 8% depending on the percentage filed and approved by the insurance commission. Payment plans are normally available through bail bond companies in order to pay the bail bond premium. Please keep in mind, that most companies will allow you to put a percentage of the bail bond premium as a down payment, but payments are set up to allow you to pay the entire bail bond premium. Bail bond premium payments are normally set up on a monthly, weekly, or bi-monthly basis until the full bail bond premium is paid in full. Paying for the bail bond premium is usually paid by cash, check, PayPal, or credit card. The bail bond premium is
non-refundable and fully earned upon release of the defendant from jail, regardless of the final disposition of the defendant's case. Paying a bail bond premium to a bail agent is usually a more affordable option than posting cash to the jail in place of the full bond amount.
Beware, if a bail bond company tells you that you can pay any other percentage, without an unpaid premium agreement stating that you will pay the entire bail bond premium "in full" over time, then they are doing what is called "rebating." Rebating is illegal in the State of Washington, per the Washington State Insurance Commission. If you see that a company is "rebating," that should tell you a few things: They are operating illegally, and are probably not going to treat you fairly if they operate in this manner. If a bail bond company is operating illegally, think about how they will probably treat you and your loved one once they are released from jail.
At A-Affordable Bail Bonds we will work with you and your financial situation, we will treat you fairly and legally on the bail bond premium in order to help you bail your loved one out of jail.

Sulfonate producer Chemtura Canada Inc. has been fined $150,000 after a pump failure at its Scarborough, Ontario facility discharged sulphuric acid into the environment.
January 30, 2013 by Hazmat Management
Sulfonate producer Chemtura Canada Inc. has been fined $150,000 after a pump failure at its Scarborough, Ontario facility discharged sulphuric acid into the environment.
The plant produces sulfonates and silicates used in lubes, industrial oil formulations and greases, according to an announcement from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
The ministry stated that the release of the sulphuric acid caused adverse impacts to the surrounding environment and community. People exposed to the mist reported health impacts.
Area businesses were shut down, people in the area were evacuated, and a number of schools in the area were impacted.
"Environmental protection legislation protects communities and the environment. Breaking these rules can result in serious penalties and is an offence the Ministry takes very seriously," said Environment Minister Jim Bradley in the December 2012 announcement to media.
The company was fined $150,000 plus the victim fine surcharge of $37,500 and was given 90 days to pay the fine.
Previous Conviction
On May 14, 2012, Chemtura Canada made headlines when the company pled guilty to a 2010 spill at its Emira plant near Waterloo. The spill forced BLE-25 and acetone into the natural environment. BLE-25 contains diphenylamine (DPA) and is used as an antioxidant to manufacture rubber products.
The offence under the Environmental Protection Act left Chemtura with a $150,000 fine issued by the province.
The spill resulted in black particulate fallout in Elmira. At the time, company officials said the impact stretched about 1.5 kilometres in a southwest line from the site.
Chemtura Canada spent $1.7 million cleaning up the spill and paying for property damage. The company also implemented preventive measures, including addition of a dedicated operator to run the BLE-25 process.
At the time of the 2010 spill, Chemtura manager of environment health and safety, Dwight Este, exlained how the accident occurred.
"At a certain pressure, the system gives way and that's when the material was released from a vent into the atmosphere," Este said. "That's the design of the system. It prevents the vessel from rupturing."
Despite these two recent convictions and fines plus numerous other issues in Elmira, Chemtura's two locations (Elmira & West Hill Scarborough) are poised to receive verifcation under *Responsible Care, a program of the Chemistry Industry Assoc'n of Canada (CIAC). I base this prediction upon the verification team giving them a failing grade (ie. incomplete) in early December. Chemtura asked for and received a Do Over. Since then there have been teleconference calls with the verification team as well as an in person meeting last Wednesday in Elmira. There isn't much point in a Do Over unless you're going to change the outcome, now is there?
Well as expected they got their *Responsible Care verification. Mind you they publicly attacked the Chair (Dr. Dan Holt) of the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee at a Woolwich Council meeting and they had to rely on the former CPAC Chair Pat McLean to vote in favour. Dr. Dan voted against and had the full support of the current CPAC. The Chemical Industry Assoc'n of Canada (CIAC) claim it's better to have polluters in the tent than outside as they (CIAC) can influence them more. As far as I can see Chemtura gamed the system because they sure don't have the confidence or respect of knowledgable and honest folk in Elmira.

Summer 2013
Dominick Tringali
Staging Sports
When Dominick Tringali says he's "living a dream," it's not hyperbole. Over the last 20 years the veteran television stage manager and associate director has been paid to see some of the most legendary moments in New York sports history.
"The Rangers winning the Stanley Cup at Madison Square Garden; watching Wayne Gretzky skate off the ice for the last time in his career in 1999; working at Yankee Stadium for David Wells' and David Cone's perfect games; and the last game played at the old Yankee Stadium in 2008, to name just a few," says the sports-crazy Brooklyn native who grew up and lives in New Jersey.
Although technology has radically changed how sports are covered and broadcast, Tringali says his job has remained "pretty much the same" since he joined the DGA 20 years ago with the MSG television network.
"Stage-managing live sports means interfacing with people," he explains. "We're equal parts traffic cop, bodyguard, caddy, and motivational coach no matter who it may be—broadcasters, players, public relations staff, or technicians."
Tringali adds that while his producers may format pre- and post-game coverage and intermissions in the studio, "on the field, or the court, the game dictates everything, and we make it up as we go along." And being the main "conduit" between the producer and director in the booth (or truck), and on-field broadcaster, means Tringali has worked with broadcasting's elite tier. He rattles off quickly with obvious pride: "Dick Enberg, Marv Albert, Brent Musburger, Dick Stockton, Mike Breen, Joe Buck, Mike 'Doc' Emrick and Mike Tirico."
Of course, it's the mishaps that tend to stand out the most. "Like the time Roger Caras, aka the voice of the Westminster Dog Show, missed introducing the national anthem because they started before I could give him a cue," laughs Tringali. "I'll never forget him turning to me with his God-like voice, and saying: 'In all my years, I have never missed an anthem—until now.'"
No sport has provided more surprises than Tringali's personal passion: hockey. Cueing announcers in and out of commercials and promos, or doing post-game interviews on the ice, require a careful selection of footwear. Not to mention dealing with the unique nature of its athletes.
"Once I had to bring a hockey player to our studio during an intermission between periods," Tringali recalls. "So I met him in the hallway off the ice, introduced myself, and as we began to walk, he stopped to ask if he could first go to the locker room to get his teeth. I stared for a beat, and then said 'sure,' relaying to the producer through the headset that his intermission guest would be delayed.
"There have been any number of reasons why guests have been late coming to the studio, but denture wear—or lack thereof—was a first, even for me."

Kazmi, Mohammad Afzal (1972) TAXONOMY AND MORPHOLOGY OF SOME MARINE CARIDES OF PAKISTAN. PhD thesis, University of Karachi, Karachi.
This study is based on the Taxonomy and morphology of marine carides (Crustacea, Decapoda) of Pakistan. The carides of the Indian Ocean in general and those of the Northern Arabian Sea in particular have been greatly neglected. This is the first attempt to describe in detail the carides of the Northern Arabian Sea as well as those from the Bay of Bengal. The material at hand comprises of 20 species belonging to 12 genera and 7 families. Among these Processa edulis (Family Alpheidae) are first ever recorded from the Indian Ocean. Acanthephyra eximia (Family oplophoridae) is the first subsequent record of this species from Northern Arabian Sea. Synalpheus tumidomanus, Athanas dimorphus and Pontocaris Pennata are recorded for the first time from Northern Arabian Sea. Alpheus tirmiziae is described as new to the science. Oral appendages and peraeopods are minutely examined, where enough specimens are available secondary sexual characters and individual variation is also studies. Colour of live specimens is carefully noted.

Genre: Editorial and Opinion
100% Recyclable Plastic is made from Old Tires
Used tires, despite being quite notorious as a waste material, are actually not that hard to collect and recycle. You can for example, simply reuse it as raw material for road construction. Other concepts for recycling tires may even be more efficient, such as this old concept that might provide a more "flexible" tire recycling solution.
It was the year 1995, when Swedish company EcoRub first developed a new method of recycling tires. The method primarily involves mincing up used tires. It is first cut into small bits, separating
the tire from its steel and fabric components. The small bits are then ground further until it turns into a powder material. Finally, the powder material is mixed with plastic along with a special
chemical bonding compound to produce a new type of rubbery industrial material. This new tire-derived material, which can be easily recycled as long as it is collected properly, can now be used for
a variety of different purposes such as floor covering.
Today, EcoRub's tire recycling process it's currently patented in Europe and in the United States. According to the report, there are at least four companies in the U.S. granted with licenses to use their system, with each company producing 15,000 to 20,000 tons of the rubbery material every year.
Despite the process being more advanced and quite economical compared to other recycling methods currently available, its prevalent or widespread adoption is still yet to be made. Proper financing for several startup projects is seen as the cause, particularly in certain parts of Europe.
The latest iteration of their tire recycling process takes the form of a pioneering project named as ACE. Started in 2010, it is an EU funded 3-year long project that aims to unravel the huge potentials of this recycling technology to the entire European continent.

Looking for the perfect custom tattoo design?
Allow our 10,000+ custom tattoo designers to create your next custom tattoo!
Public Discussion (Visible to all Tattoo Designers)
Thank-you everyone.
What else do you have in mind for the design?
Still workin on it and will submit in the morning. :D
Looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life, I do like some of your previous works.
Thinking a mix of black (grey scale) for my character representation showing a little darkness in the life of all of us, with some bright colour for the good in life in my daughters representation. Open to size and overall shape, size in design spec is make sure your well rewarded for your unique artwork, need not cover the entire area.
really want something with a wow factor, maybe even incorporating some black light imagery into the design.
My wife and partner is my soul mate from this life and past lives, she is a very old soul dating back to atlantis, whereas my soul is relatively new only a couple hundred years old, we've shared many lives/reiencarnations together (mostly asian). My wife is my spiritual guide, who keeps me on the path.
My Daughters are 6 & 1yo. They are are the opposite balance to my hectic life, the one who bring such joy and compassion. They are my muse, entertainment and all things bright and colourful, who inspire me to be a greater man. My life evloves around their future.
In the order in which they stand out in my head:
Do you want your wife represented or does it matter to you? If you want her in, is she a partner protector or one of the protected, or if you want to go deeper, is she protector of you and your daughters?
Your daughters as a balancing influence - are they each one side of 'balance' or are they one side and you the other? What's the nature of that relationship?
Say a few words about each of your daughters - it can mean the difference between a cool tattoo and a living monument to the relationship. Think about how they see themselves as well as how you see them.
Is one or both of them the type to sit still and let father protect, or do they come in swinging?
Say a few words about yourself for the same reason.
How old are all of you?
Thank you,

10-tonne Northern Territory landmark stolen
Page Tools
They struck in the dead of a sweltering Top End night.
"It's a rich part of our history, gone," Gerry Wood, an independent Northern Territory MP, said yesterday. "It could only happen in the NT."
Mr Wood and other residents of the small town of Howard Springs, 35 kilometres south of Darwin, are furious about the disappearance of their 10-tonne, 115-year-old steel railway bridge.
Thieves brazenly drove a crane and four-wheel-drive vehicle to the bridge, which is 50 metres off a track on the town's outskirts. Using oxyacetylene equipment they cut the steel uprights and bridge spans and used the crane to load the steel on to a getaway vehicle.
The bridge was part of the North Australian Railway, which closed in 1976. Built mainly by Chinese workers in the 1890s, it was Darwin's most important transport link to the Territory's gold mining towns.
During World War II it also transported vital munitions, supplies and troops.
Mr Wood, 54, said he was shocked by the crime which he believes was committed by professionals. "Look there," he said, pointing to footprints. "They were wearing industrial boots. The only people around here who don't wear thongs are professionals."
Mr Wood said that recently two similar bridges along the 500 kilometre disused track had disappeared in similar crimes.
"People think they can get away with stealing our heritage because it's a little bit isolated out here," Mr Wood said. "But we can't let them get away with this sort of thing."
Mr Wood will ask the NT Government to offer a reward to help solve the crime.
There were no police experts at the scene yesterday, but NT police said they were on the case.

@jacobdLocale: North Bay
I have a pair of very lightly used carbon poles from Titanium Goat. These are the original AGP Poles which have now been replaced by the Ruta Locura Yana poles (and they're compatible with all of the new parts). I'm the original owner. They were used a few times on trail before I decided to stick with my GG LT4's. The poles are like new in all respects other than a little dirt on the baskets. The grips and shafts are in beautiful condition.
Weight per pole is 3.8 ounces with the basket included. They can be adjusted to about 52 inches overall length.
I'm looking for $120 shipped
I also have a Tenkara rod which can be attached to these poles or work as a stand alone rod I'm only selling it if someone wants both the poles and rod. This was an early Tenkara that I believe was made specifically for Titanium Goat, it's similar to but not the same as the Clarkii which is the current rod.
The rod has a 10 foot overall length and weighs 1.3 ounces including the braided line. I have a butt section for the rod which for the most part looks like the top of the trekking poles but is about 6 inches shorter and weighs 1.3 ounces. This section can screw directly to the rod for standalone use (making a 2.6 ounce complete rod) or the rod can be attached to the top section of either pole. An adapter is also included to attach this rod to a Gossamer Gear LT4 pole.
I'll do the whole package for $190 shipped
Please EMAIL me if you don't mind… email@example.com
