Already owning its big brother, NR90GC2, I bought this for 2nd fix and I'm impressed so far. Lightweight, easy to handle, it does what it says on the tin! Highly recommended.

Just bought this finishing nailer from Power tool world, and find it a excellent bit of kit. If the 1st fix nailer is as good as this one I will be purchasing that one soon.

As good as the orange nailer, finished the job and product paid for itself. couldnt have done without, really good nailer. The customer service and delivery were excellent, with next day delivery as expected, and a very good price too. thank you

This is an excellent nailer that works as expected and provide excellent value for money. Have completed my first project applying cladding to a outside building. No problems experienced. The depth adjustment following the instructions can be slightly confusing but quickly sorted through trial and error. At this price every trades person / DYI person that does any carpentry work should have one.

Good purchase and service nail gun performing well .Still early daysas good as paslode.

awesome quick delivery, have been using the gun none stop on 2nd fix, battery lasted a week out of the box without charge, gun works no different to an orange one , all good so far

Excellent product easy to use and as good as major brand, delivery time as promised. Have used powertools world before and will definitely use again and again.

Great product and great service
Gavin Sibley
Posted - 21 August 2014
once you get used to this tool it is great to use...but...very frustrating to get to grips with the small problems a brand new piece of kit gives you. Nails get stuck on a regular basis and you have to have a bit of savvy to sort things out.
Chris Taylor
Posted - 1 August 2014
1st class product and great price time will tell but so far so good and less than half the price of the orange 1 and just as good
Anthony Dervey
Posted - 25 July 2014
thought I would give this a go, good light weight gun that after 3 weeks of sight work fixing skirts and archys has so far worked quite well, occasional jams are easy to deal with and only seem to occur if you rush things too much, feels slightly less powerful than my old paslode but does the job okay, probably need to re-review in say 4-5mths to get a truer review, fast delivery and good response on the phone, so far all good
Jeremy Foster
Posted - 26 June 2014
After spending sometime comparing reviews on Paslodes and the DeWalt nailers I decided on the Hitachi.
Excelent service from PowerTool World, delivery was the next day and the product was well packaged.
When I could not find the soft tip cap in the box, one quick call to Power Tool world and a very knowlegable guy advised me, without hesitation where this was stored.
This is a great tool, light and easy to use and I would recommend it. My son who is a chippie, has a Paslode nailer but now after seeing this Hitachi nailer is now considering purchasing one of these himself.
William Goldstein
Posted - 11 May 2014
I am very pleased with this gun as it feels very light and comfortable but very powerful.
A Hussain
Posted - 8 May 2014
bought this power-tool world received following day excellent service machine very light easy to use, if you get one of these its a good idea to get the packs of nails at same time saves on delivery charges and nail are reasonable
Jeff Mitchell
Posted - 5 May 2014
A cheaper alternative to paslode. Can't fault it so far. Seems well constructed and solid. The batteries last ages.
Defo recommend one.
Stuart Neale
Posted - 26 April 2014
this is a nail that will compete with any other nail gun on the market im happy with performance and handling cheaper to buy and cheaper to maintain ie: nails, gas, cleaner kits
Josh Green
Posted - 1 March 2014
Works well only problem is mine didn't like the Hitachi gas it would only fire nails very time with paslode gas but time will tell how good it really is.
Jason Rosser
Posted - 12 December 2013
First Hitachi second fix nailer only had it for a week but it have been hammered, used continuously for the whole week charge of battery lasts very well, light in the hand and far better piece of mind knowing the price compared to others, time will tell as to how long it lasts, so far so good

this gas nailer looks good, feel good and is good
Milford Georgeson
Posted - 17 April 2013
I'm new to this type of tool and have only used air powered nailers before. The Hitachi is very light but feels tough. It's easy to set up/load with brads, battery and gas and so much easier than setting up a compressor and dragging hoses around. I toroughly recommend it but couldn't give it five stars because I haven't used the competition. Dis I say it was chaep? No? well it is.
Kevin Clifford

My husband reports that this tool really does the job with no clogging or binding thus far ! Happy to have purchased this gas Hitachi rather than electric, which we were considering to start with.

TODAY TOR DETAILS 15 Doctor's discovery may end obesity HILTON HEAD, S C. - A doctor has discovered that an ingredient found in a small fruit grown in Asia, combined with an ingredient praised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture can help cause significant weight loss. In a study published in a prestigious American medical journal, Dr. Anthony A. Conte, M D. reported that the formula, now called Bio-Max .KWK), caused patients to lose more than twice as much weight as a control group on the same fat reduced diet Neither group was instructed to de crease the amount of food they ate or to increase their exercise levels. An ai tide published in\hc American Journal of Clinical Nutrition confirms that you don't have to reduce the amount of food you eat to lose weight, provided that you limit the tat. Scientists suggest that the mechanism behind the weight reduction includes decreasing sugar cravings and interruption of the "Krebs Cycle ", an important step in the body's tat storage process. "The best part ot this .unique discovery is that it is not a drug, but a safe dietary food supplement" says Dr. Conte. The Asian fruit, called garcmia, is similar to citrus fruit found in the United States with one big exception— it may help some people fight obesity! While Dr. Conte's study may be preliminary, the exclusive North American distributor, Phillips Gulf Corp., is calling the Bio-Max 3000 supplement "Nature's Ideal Diet Aid." According to a spokesperson tor the company, Bio-Max 3000 is now available on a limited basis through pharmacies and nutrition stores or call I-800-729-8446.© i ws Ptviups Gulf Coto Bio-Max 3000 is available locally at: CITY PHARMACY 386 Landa St. Now Braunfels 625-4711 133 Landa Street Jz ini Author's Noir: This stulcmcnt lots not liven a hulled by lite FDA.

horsepower guesses?
I am new to this site I am building a sbc 409 (.040 over 400) Im kinda new to the engine building I would love to put it on a dyno but just cant justify spending 400 on somebody else tuning my motor and knowing how much horsepower it makes anyway this is what I got and please bare with me I dont know all my part numbers
holley street avenger (670?)
ported edelbrock performer rpm heads stock valves 64cc chambers
holley strip dominator intake
speed pro forged pistons -4cc dish = 11-1 cr
solid roller comp xr 292
in a 509 400 block
stock polished and shot peened rods (5.7)
stock crank
anyway what do you think for hp and torque I know some of you guys are real good at this and I know everyone thinks that theyr motor makes way more than it does so dont hold back
what am i missing here to not get any answers sorry if it is something stupid I missed just really would like to know
thanks guess Ill just have to be more patient
should be a lot. So kind of hard to guess.
carb and heads are little small.
I calculate 11.3:1 cr for your setup, which is a little high. I think you will need to run 93 octane and retard timing a little. 10.75 or even 11:1 would be better.
but I would say 500/530 ftlbs if the engine is assembled and tuned correctly. Heads are most likely holding you back, but will make extra low rpm torque for the street.
I really wanted it to make good torque cause my pick up weighs about 3700 with me in it I have messed with alot of old bottom ends you know putting cams in changing heads and junk like that but this is my first real build up and I have been told that I should hit the 500 hp mark but wanted second opinions thanks I appreciate your guesses
It would be worth it to have the heads cut to 2.055 intake valves if you have the cash, the 400 needs air like it was a small big block. IMO the 670 carb is too small, even for a torque motor, so don't worry too much about torque because the 400 will have it anyway. Way, way more than a 350. Intake is a good choice, cam is also. STUD THE MAINS, ARP bolts in the rods, Stud Girdle on the rocker arm studs. 1-3/4" headers best but 1-5/8" will work nearly as good, get what will clear the angle plugs.
I've built several nearly identical versions of this combo, you could easily see 540+hp if the heads are good. Believe me, once you mash the gas on this, you will never look at a 350 the same way again.
EDIT: Compression ratio is a little stout for pump gas unless you stay on top of the tune and ignition advance curve. If you want to take some away, open up the combustion chambers some to the bore outline around the intake valve, curving over to the spark plug.
I don't want to open a can of worms here but some 400 4-bolt blocks have had issues w/main webs breaking when stressed.
I believe the reason that Chevy went to a 2-bolt later on was due to this- they found better reliability from it, rather than the 4-bolt configuration. If you look closely at the 4-bolt web, you can see how the bolt "holes" it.
A better scheme is to use a 2-bolt and splayed caps if you don't go w/an aftermarket or bowtie block, IMHO.
I know others swear by the 4-bolt blocks, and have had great luck w/them, and I have absolutely no prob. w/that.
Cobalt is right about the weakness of the 4-bolt 400 and why Chevy went to 2-bolt, and it is why the smart racers don't go looking for a 4-bolt 400. That being said, there aren't 400 blocks on every street corner and so we have to run with what we have. I've run 4-bolt 400's at this power level without a failure but it was not by choice. Getting up over 500hp in a stock block of any brand is always a gamble, that's why Dart is doing good business. :)
EDIT- moved to start a fresh thread.
hey guys I sold my 4 bolt 511 block to help fund this build but the 509 block is a two bolt main im sure excited all i have left to buy is push rods and guide stud girdles and everybody I have talked to around here (my machinist) has told me I need to run some race gas to accomodate for my high compression wich I am ok with I dont plan to drive this truck as a daily driver and thanks so much for your guys input and now you got me thinking to take my heads off to have new 2.05 intakes in do you know if 2.08 would fit performer rpm heads my dad always told me it was better on 400s to run the biggest you could on the intake valve side it sucks not having him around to ask these ?s
and I have lots of holleys I have a 780 cfm single pump vacuum secondary would that be a better choice for my application
Personally, I really like dbl. pumpers/ mechanical secondary carbs. For your deal, at least a 750.
While larger valves can be worth some power, if I were to have wanted 2.08's say, I'd have bought different heads (Dart, etc.) with a larger port and combustion chamber volume than the RPM's.
This starts a never ending cycle- at some point you have to commit to a build, optimize the components, buy them and build.
If you keep changing your mind (I know how this works :pain: ) the costs and complexity keep rising.
Were it me- and I had amassed the parts that you have, and given the weight of the truck- I think I'd go ahead with the build as-is. But a different set of heads sure would be nice... and then I could use different pistons, and gears, and then...
See what I mean? :D
very true thats how this build got started I had a all stock 511 400 in it and I wanted to change cams and then I thought well I could go with a better cam if I can find some decent 64cc heads so I had it down to a short block then I thought well Ill just pull it out and check the rods and mains make sure they are nice and then they werent so it was a complete rebuild then I found a 509 block a better crank I found my heads for 500 complete rebuilt with all port work already done and had some 5.7 rods laying around already shot peened and polished and I had the forged pistons with them and all of a sudden I didnt use a single part of the original motor thats what I hate about tearing stuff apart it always costs you money
The 780 carb is a better choice than the 670, and I have good success with vacuum secondaries, but you need to know how to tune the accellerator pump and the vacuum secondary spring, otherwise a DoublePumper is more fool-proof. If the heads are already on the motor, I'll agree with run them as is, you could always pull them for a valve size upgrade next winter if you find you want to look for more power at that point in time.

The nbn™ network is replacing most existing landline phone and internet networks across Australia and this may impact your building's lift emergency telephone lines.
KONE is partnering with nbn™ to make sure our customers are kept informed of the changes and their lift's safety is accounted for during this process.
Make sure your lift's emergency telephone line remain operational throughout this transition by registering the phone number of your lift's emergency phone with nbn™ at nbn.com.au/fireandlift. You can also register your building's fire indicator panel in a similar way.
What will happen?
If your lift isn't registered, the emergency phone may stop working on your building's disconnection date, generally 18 months from when the nbn™ network is first made available to the building.
In most cases the nbn™ network will not work during a power outage and therefore it will be necessary to install a new lift emergency phone that also uses a mobile network connection to support operation during a power outage.
In limited circumstances (buildings with direct fibre to the premises connection, battery backup installed and phone service provided through the nbn™ Connection Unit UNI-V/TEL port) lift emergency phones may be reconnected to the new phone service over the nbn™ network. However it is important that you are aware of the limitations of nbn's battery backup if you are considering this option. Refer to the nbn Fibre User Guide for full details about this capability.
Keeping safety top of mind
Safety is KONE's business and the emergency telephone line is an integral part of your lift's safety system. It must be operational at all times, even when there is a power failure.
If your lift is serviced by KONE, the emergency telephone line will connect to KONE's 24/7 Customer Care Centre in Sydney and our team are ready to assist passengers if they experience any issues or need help while inside the lift.
To support continuing operation of this key safety component we recommend you register your lift with nbn™ now.
Register now!
Registering your building is quick and easy – just have the following information handy and visit nbn.com.au/fireandlift:
- Your role and contact details
- The building's address
- Number of floors, lifts, fire emergency panels
- ATMs and connected vending machines (if applicable)
- The telephone numbers which relate to each of these services (you can find out by holding down the alarm button in your lift car which will call the lift's customer service number and they can advise you of the phone number.)
- Your body corporate or strata plan (if applicable)
Already connected (or about to connect) to nbn™?
If your building has already migrated to the nbn™ network, or you are about to migrate, you need to notify your lift maintenance provider as soon as possible as your lift telephone may not work during a power outage.
Please have your type of internet connection handy and call your local lift maintenance provider to discuss your options. If you are not sure of the type of connection you received, you can check with your internet service provider.

1976 Boston Marathon winner Jack Fultz just forwarded me this link to Natsuki Terada's wrong turn at this year's Hakone Ekiden showing up on ABC News. It's nice to see Hakone get mentioned on ABC, but they misreported what was happening and missed the point of the clip. While dramatic and funny it's important to point out that Terada did not lose the race. The pack of four guys he was in was racing for 8th-10th place, the last three seeded spots for the 2012 Hakone Ekiden. Having a seeded spot is a prestige which means the school is free to compete in October's Izumo Ekiden. The last of the four runners would finish in 11th and his team would have to requalify next fall. Terada's school, Koku Gakuin University, had never made the seeded bracket.
He had kicked into 8th at the time of his wrong turn less than 200 m from the finish and looked as though he would have held that position if he had stayed on-course, but Terada nevertheless miraculously returned from the wrong turn to overtake Josai University and finish 10th. Koku Gakuin got its seeded spot, Terada's only goal in that last kick. Whether it was 8th or 10th made no difference, hence Terada and his teammates' elation and the 11th-place Josai runner's devastated collapse at the end of the Youtube upload, cut from the ABC video. In other words, despite the entertainment value of the clip its point is that Terada succeeded, not failed. If hearts go out to anyone it should be to Josai's anchor.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Duplicate collections of pear trees from arround the world are now preserved in two ways: using refrigerated tissue cultured plants or stored in liquid nitrogen (cryopreserved). The in vitro cultured plants can be stored without repropagation for one to five years and remain alive. The cryopreserved pears we anticipate will survive for 100 or more years. Ten percent (169 accessions) of the pear trees held at the National Clonal Germplasm Repository are also kept as tissue cultures in refridgerator temperature storage. Meristems (small shoot tips) of more than 50 types of pears are now stored in liquid nitrogen. More than 100 additional pears were screened for survival following brief freezing in liquid nitrogen. pear meristems are stored in liquid nitrogen at the National Seed Storage As an added security precaution, cryopreserved pear meristems are stored in a remote location at the National Seed Storage Laboratory, Fort Collins, ,Colorado.
Technical Abstract: The security of genetic resource collections mandate preservation by several techniques. Duplicate collections of field-grown pear genetic resources are now preserved in medium and long-term storage using cold rooms or liquid nitrogen dewars. Ten percent (169 accessions) of the primary pear field collection held at the National Clonal Germplasm Repository are kept as in vitro cultures in 4 degree C storage in polyethylene tissue culture bags. In vitro cultures were stored under refrigerated temperatures for 8 months to 4.7 yr with a mean storage time of 2.75 yr. Meristems for more than 50 peear accessions are stored in liquid nitrogen. More than 100 additional genotypes have been screened for survival following cryopreserved storage. As an added security precaution cryopreserved pear meristems are stored in liquid nitrogenat the National Seed Storage Laboratory, Fort Collins, Colorado as a remote long-term base collection.

From the publisher
As we near the end of 2016, entrepreneurship is flourishing, innovation is on the agenda of government and business, and the global political and economic climate is changing. In the end-of-year edition of Forge, we take a look at the seven biggest factors that will influence business and the economy in 2017.
Read on for an overview of just a few of the features in Forge Volume 2 Number 4.
Seven big business trends in 2017
Business journalist David James looks at the factors that will affect the economy and business in the year ahead.
The competitive advantage of millennials
Hitting your entrepreneurial straps in your mid-20s can yield a lot of benefits. Forge speaks with five millennial founders to discover what it takes to be successful at a young age.
Seven rules of failure
Failure is usually looked upon as a negative outcome; however, without failure there's less chance to learn, innovate, and succeed.
An ocean of economic possibility
Australia's blue economy is a largely untapped research, but a plan launched in 2015 aims to address the challenges facing the marine economy, and sharing the knowledge required to grow it sustainably.
Five-star discounts
Long gone are the days of luxury beach resorts being the domain of multimillionaires; with competition increasing in the travel booking industry, and companies offering all-inclusive packages, you could get yourself a high-end holiday for rock-bottom prices.

Jyll gave a small bubble-cry when the army of men entered the room. As the shot that hit, or almost hit, nathan (jyll was not sure which) she backed into the shadows (the non-living shadows). An arm grabbed her and covered her mouth. She could not bubble write at all. A rough, but quiet voice wisperd in her ear.
"Do not make a sound...Your friends do not know about the rest of us...yet....."
with fear in hear eyes jyll looked up at the man, and the rest of the men in the darkness. They must be back up, or maybe a hidden force, waiting to ambush from behind. She was not sure how they had gotten into the hideout without anyone noticing, but they were bad news. Struggling,jyll tryed to alert the others of second group of assassins, but to no avail.
"how old are you anyway?" The man said. "Six? Seven?" He smiled down at her. " You could be usefull... later....perhaps...leverage. The man's smile intensified, a erie, sickening smile. "Yes...leverage..."
A sharp pain shot up jyll's arm. Looking down, she flinched as the man pulled a small syringe from her arm. "
"Don't worry...It won't kill you...only make you...tired...For a little while." The man wisperd. He made a silent signal to the rest of the men in the shadows, and they slipped into one of the many passage ways of the house. Jyll watched, to weak to struggle as the man dragged her into the hall. Just before she slipped into unconsciousness, she thought she heard flamara knockout the last of army that had shot nathans ear, With a small cheer, flamara and the others ran up the stairs. No one noticed jyll was missing. The second group of assassins sped up a little, and continued into the dark maze of hallways. Continued with grim heartlessness.

I've ranted on about a new phenomenon named "Blogcasts" for several months now. Blogcasts are all about accepting that most of us have very little time to find answers to problems, need practical advice, find webcasts can often be long and little relavence(there are exceptions of course) and we'd benefit from actually seeing how to do something. Blogcasts are essentially mini-webcasts which are linked to from blogs and therefore are available for RSS(Real Simple Syndication) via search engines and aggregators(such as SharpReader).
Brian Tucker kindly hosts the Blogcastrepository which is a great place to find blogcasts and thanks to Brian's software you can post your own up there too. Incidentally Brian's not a Microsoft employee – the whole point to blogcasting is that the community is able to share experience, tips and techniques with everyone who's interested.
My colleagues who work with TechNet in Microsoft in the UK(our job title is IT Pro Evangelist) post their own blogcasts – I've included links to the blogcasts on their sites as follows: Eileen Brown, Mat Stephen, Michael Platt and John Howard
In my opinion the beauty of Blogcasts include the following:
- Anyone can post them
- No special software/hardware is required to either view or produce them
- Microsoft have no control over them – in other words the IT Pro community(you!) decide which are good based on the number of hits you make on them
- They are concise, to the point, pieces of advice/demonstrations that enable you to take action and get more value from the software you already have – they are definately NOT about getting you to buy stuff
- Many people are creating new blogcasts every day
- They are short hence require little of YOUR time, little of the author's time & can be accessed from low bandwidth connections
- The are practical
- They don't contain any padding hence they get to the point straight away unlike many webcasts!
- They are free to view and free to produce
Incidentally Blogcasts are not the same thing as "podcasts" – the difference being they're short, visual, practical demonstrations(in most cases) of HOW TO DO something. IMHO podcasts are typically more like web-based radio shows focussed on specific topics of interest and as such are complimentary
Please feel free to hit the "feedback" button and let me know what you think.

Your four-legged loved one is certainly part of your family, and as a result, it makes sense to provide him or her with the best care and medical insurance you can find. The question no longer is whether you should buy pet insurance for your cat or dog, but how much coverage to purchase. As you hop on the pet medical insurance train, beware of certain pitfalls and do your homework in advance.
Pet coverage traps include improper coverage-meaning, you end up paying much of the vet treatment-financial instability of the insurer, and pre-existing conditions that are not clearly defined in the insurance contract.
Other things you should keep an eye on, include, your veterinarian's policy preference, claims processing and reimbursement procedures, and ways to reduce your overall premium payments. More generally, I suggest you compare pet insurance plans at Pet Insurance University and PetInsuranceReview.com before making a final decision.
How Much Does The Pet Insurance Policy Cost?
Read the insurance policy and the fine prints-attentively, says Robert, a retired vet and expert in pet insurance matters. Pay attention to things like deductibles, surcharges and exclusions-meaning all conditions, treatment needs and risk events that the medical insurance company does not want to cover because either they could be extremely expensive or there is no coverage precedent to justify the inclusion of such conditions in the policy.
Robert, the pet insurance expert, says it is always preferable to ask your insurance agent directly how much your monthly premium will be, as well as how much you would fork over should your pet need medical care.
Insurance companies typically quote pet coverage premiums based on:
- Your deductible amount
- The maximum dollar amount the insurer will pay for each incident
- The maximum amount you would pay for each incident, in terms of co-payment
- The maximum cash the insurer plans to spend on your pet during his or her lifetime
What Is (Really) Covered in My Pet Insurance Plan?
Know what type of coverage you are paying for. Don't trust the "goodwill" of your insurance agent or believe that the pet medical insurance company is here to "help" you and take care of your pet when medical misfortune strikes. I'm not saying you should not believe what your insurer tells you, but just remember that things like fine prints along with terms and conditions often contain important information that your insurance broker may not tell you, not to mention that the company itself could be a little "economical" with the truth when it comes to disclosing important information.
Questions to ask include:
- Are accidents covered?
- Will the insurer reimburse me if my four-legged loved one underwent surgery?
- Are X-rays and prescription drugs covered?
- What is the maximum annual benefit the insurance company will pay?
- What is the reimbursement amount per incident?
- Is your pet covered for cancer?
- Are hereditary diseases included in the insurance plan?
- How much will the insurance company pay for hospitalization?
- Will the insurance company work with my vet and vice versa?
- Besides cats and dogs, does my insurance company cover other animals?
What Is the Insurance Company's Operating History-And Financial Rating?
Figure out the company you are dealing with, even before reading its policy and coverage options. I want you to research the company, figure out its financial strength, and know more about its operational history. Call your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) branch and ask a representative about the insurance company's BBB rating do the same with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
Read online reviews; talk to other pet parents and hear their experiences with various pet insurance providers. Seek feedback also from your vet and make sure he or she would accept payments from your prospective insurer.
Call the pet insurance company and ask a customer service representative what the company's financial rating is. Credit and financial ratings vary but suffice it to say that they range from A-for "Strong"-to C and D, which is the category you definitely want to avoid when shopping for a pet insurance company.
Does the Insurance Policy Cover All Kinds of Pets – Or Just Some?
Future pet parents usually ask "what pet type is right for my family," but I think a better question is "what pet type will my pet insurance company cover?" In a modern-day economy in which medical pet insurance is getting more expensive by the day, you definitely want to be covered when it comes to pet insurance. This is because, as a pet parent, the buck ultimately stops with you and you will be paying for your pet's health incidents or other liability issues.
Most insurance companies only cover dogs and cats, which makes sense, given that the majority of Americans have only those two pet types in their households. If you have bird, snake, rabbit or horse, among others, talk to your insurer beforehand and explore coverage options.
If the insurer does not cover your pet, ask the customer service rep to refer you to another coverage provider. A great place to enquire also is your local zoo. Call the zoo's customer service department. A zoo typically has a diverse assortment of animals for which it provides pet insurance, so you have better odds of finding a solution to your pet coverage problem by talking to the zoo's manager.
PETA also can help when it comes to pet insurance referrals, so give them a call or email them.
Would My Vet Like the Insurance Company and the Policy?
If you currently have a pet, ask your vet what company he or she likes. If you are a future pet owner, talk to family members, friends and colleagues who have four-legged loved ones. It is important that your vet like the pet insurance company you want to choose. Also, make sure your insurer does not have breed-specific limitations that could exclude your pet.
I suggest you select an insurance company who does not have a network; that way, you have some leeway in choose the vet you want.
How Does the Reimbursement Process Work?
Know in advance how your policy's reimbursement process works. Stay away from medical insurance companies that have a long claims filing and reimbursement process-the kind of organization that requires so much paperwork to file a claim and get reimbursed, you are out of money before it finally gets back to you with a reimbursement check.
Remember three things as you dig deeper into your plan's reimbursement process:
- How much will the insurance company reimburse?
- How long will it take to dole out the cash?
- How much do you pay upfront?
The key thing with pet insurance and for all insurance policies, for that matter, is that upfront costs can be hefty, especially if your four-legged little one has a rare condition or needs a prolonged hospital stay. So you would need to have enough money to pay initially, with the hope that the insurance company will keep its part of the bargain and disburse the funds as soon as possible.
Let me use an example to further break down the reimbursement process.
For example, say you sent your cat to the vet for a rare condition treatment, and the disease is covered. You file a claim for $2,000, and your policy has a 75% reimbursement option, with a $100 deductible. Your insurance provider generally has a 90-day window to review and approve your claim and mail you the reimbursement check.
- Claim: $2,000
- Reimbursement: 75% of $2,000, or $1,500 (to received within 90 days)
- Deductible: $100
- Insurance company payment: $1,500
- Your out-of-pocket: $600 ($100 deductible + $500 to be paid after the insurance company's reimbursement)
How Can I Reduce My Pet Insurance Premiums?
To reduce your medical pet insurance premiums, talk first with your insurance agent. Ask him or her discount options that are available to a pet parent like you. Enquire about pet-related discounts as well as rebates and other price reductions linked to things like food, prescription drugs and wellness initiatives.
There are five fundamental ways to lower your insurance premium (although I must admit that this list is not exhaustive):
- Increase your deductible,
- Cover all your pets with the same insurer,
- Cover your pet with an affiliate of your traditional insurance company (the one covering for things like health, life, home and car),
- Sign up for pet-oriented organizations like PETA, and use your membership status to receive discounts, and
- Enroll your pet in a fitness or general wellness program
Pet insurance is a relatively easy concept, but pay attention to a few specific things to prevent the kind of inconvenience that happens when you find out that your four-legged loved one has a condition that is not covered or can only be covered if you dole out all the cash you have. When reading and signing a pet medical insurance policy, things to heed coverage types, reimbursement amount and process, medical exclusions, and the insurance company's rating and how long it has been in business.

zinger637 latest pickup and last moments with focus
Last week I was fortunate to work an accident for one of the shop vans at a local Ford dealership where I patrol I'm a LEO for those who don't already know. Well the manager of the ford dealership made the scene and appreciated how I handled things at the scene. I been wanting a truck for the longest and he said if I ever needed anything to let him know. Well I told him and make a long story short he took care of me and resulted in a new 2012 F150 FX2 with all the bells and whistles a truck could have minus the moon roof and navi. Wasnt to fond of the eco boost and the colors they had available so I went with the v8. The silver and color scheme reminded me of the focus. Focus was just getting a little to small for me. With the crzy amount of rebates the truck had and what the manager gave me the focus was able to be paid off. Don't have much plans for this thing except to hook up my police strobes and maybe your regular bolt ons CAI and corza cat back exhaust and tune. As for the focus alot of the parts have been selling through word of mouth etc. What I have left are the coils and wheels with tires. I will still troll on here from time to time since my sis is a focus owner as well.
my sis focus
i can't believe it. your car was easily my favorite 2nd gen.
nooooo i love your car..... but i do like the new truck lol
Appreciate it, I put alot of money, time, research, and not scared to go to extreme with it. I did alot of things many focus owners would not do.
Honestly needed something bigger for work and my extra jobs.
I'll live vicariously through my sis 08 focus since all those parts are mine. May even throw my Simmons on there since I'm in no rush to sell them.
I know I have impacted the foci world locally and felt like i did my part. Getting married next yr comes along with buying a house and the truck comes more in handy and spacious for my equipment. It's a fun truck to drive and spoiled in it, still trying get used to it. Feels good to finally see over traffic.
truck looks great man.
troll on, we expect regular updates or um.. someone to kick off the new truck section of Blue Oval Forums :D
Definitely a nice pick up Adam. Too bad the focus is moved on.
No worries, I know you will enjoy that ride and will take care of it just as you did your focus.
No kidding, will probably be the cleanest truck in Houston lol. Congrats on the new truck.
I find this to be a FAIL on a monumental level.
^^ I'm gonna have to agree. You by far took the crown for best 2nd gen I've ever seen and I'm deeply saddened to not see anymore updates. Congrats on the new truck though!
I cried this evening.

Israel's Tel Aviv holds annual gay pride parade
TEL AVIV, Israel — Drag queens, politicians, grandmothers and shirtless men descended on Tel Aviv in their thousands Friday to party in the annual gay pride parade, the 15th march to be held in an Israeli city that has emerged as one of the world's most gay-friendly.
Loud dance music beat along the parade's route, with rainbows painted on participants' faces, arms and bellies. Drag queens in sequins and platform heels waved to the crowd from floats as scantily-clad men bopped and bounced to the music.

|Relm: I couldn't miss the chance to practice my drawing!
|This article is in need of a few pictures. Perhaps you can help by uploading a picture of Smite from Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade.
Smite (インパクトブレイク, Inpakuto Bureiku?, lit. Impact Break) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series, originating in Final Fantasy XIII.
Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
Deal heavy damage with Attack to launched target about to recover from stagger.
Smite is a Commando auto-ability assigned to the Attack command ability which deals 500% of physical damage to a launched enemy about to recover from Stagger. It is available to Lightning at Crystarium Stage 4, Snow at Crystarium Stage 7, and Fang at Crystarium Stage 5.
Final Fantasy XIII-2Edit
Smite returns as a Commando auto-ability without changed effects. It is available to Noel at Role Level 22, and Serah at Role Level 26.
Lightning has initial access to Smite in the Paladin role available to her in Requiem of the Goddess downloadable content scenario.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
Smite once again returns as an ability, functioning similarly to its predecessing appearances. However only certain enemies can be launched (such as Reaver, Cyclops, and Noel Kreiss). In order to Launch such enemies, the player must stagger them twice; first as an initial condition, and then as a Launch command which can be executed from an Attack or Light Slash command after the Stagger Wave is flashing red. Once launched, the enemy can be immediately Smited by using Heavy Slash, or attacked first to increase damage dealt. An enemy subjected to Smite immediately ends its Staggered state (similar to Snow and Fang's Full ATB skills, Sovereign Fist and Highwind, respectively) and as such, it is better to deal as much damage as possible before ending in a Smite to ensure the enemy dies from the attack. Note that attacking an airborne enemy for too long will cause it to fall, thereby missing the timing for Smite.
Dissidia 012 Final FantasyEdit
Smite is a Commando Bravery attack for Lightning available from the start. It is a physical attack performed midair with melee low priority and the Wall Rush effect. It takes 20 CP to set, and by mastering it with 100 AP the CP cost is reduced to 10. Smite composes of two aerial slashes ending in with a powerful downward smash.
Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015)Edit
Pictlogica Final FantasyEdit
Final Fantasy Airborne BrigadeEdit
Final Fantasy ArtniksEdit

|Boost Your NCMHCE Test-Taking Success With These Strategies

Boost Your NCMHCE Test-Taking Success With These Strategies
So you have to take the NCMHCE (National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam). We say "have to" because no one we know has taken it for fun. Usually people take it because they want a license to practice their vocation, they have to take it to keep their job, or because they know getting their license will open new professional doors.
The Exam Is Not About Your Personal Worth
It's not about your expertise as a counselor either. It is an examination on a particular body of knowledge, written by a group of people with a particular perspective. You are being tested on how well you can bring your knowledge and experience to this exam. Try to keep your personal issues out of the process. Just learn the material and answer in a way you believe is correct.
All of these reasons are valid, and even if one of them resonates with you, you can still pass the exam. It's like you're a sailor being tested on riding a bicycle. All you have to do is take some lessons in bike-riding, use whatever appropriate skills you've learned sailing, practice-practice-practice, pass the exam, and go back to sailing.
Understanding the Structure of the Exam and What It Tests
Over the years, PTI (the Psychotherapists Training Institute) has trained hundreds of potential licensees to pass the NCMHCE. What we've discovered and learned from our students is that those who pass the test are generally those who are successful at integrating their education, experience, and knowledge with an understanding of and comfort with the structure of the exam.
Skills: The exam assesses two general types of skills—Information Gathering (IG) and Decision Making (DM). You must ace both of these skill sets to pass the exam. For example, an IG section would require you to identify what information you would need to determine a diagnosis or create a treatment plan. A DM example is when you identify a diagnosis or choose an appropriate referral for the client at termination.
Underlying these two skills are your knowledge base in the content areas and your expertise in case development. The exam consists of 10 "simulations," with several sections giving a cumulative score in both. If you bomb on one simulation, you can still make up points with the ones that follow.
Content: The content areas identified by NBCC include: Counseling Theories, Special Treatment Issues, Substance Abuse, Psychopharmacology, Outcomes, Career Development, and Fundamentals such as growth and development. When scores are reported, the content areas are collapsed into these three aggregates: Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, and Professional Practice.
A good understanding of case development is important since you do some things at the beginning of a case that differ from a successful termination and maintenance of a successful treatment experience.
To make this exam even more of a challenge, every choice you make is scored—positive or negative. This is very different from True/False or multiple choice exams, in which you receive points for correct selections and are not penalized for incorrect selections.
Given this structure, you must be very strategic with your choices because a correct selection that gives you a positive score and an incorrect choice that gives a negative score can cancel each other out. For example, if you choose the same number of correct answers and incorrect answers, you can end up with a score of zero.
We've had many new counselors contact us because they've taken the exam and failed. Often what we find is that they have an excellent knowledge and experience base, but were unfamiliar with the exam structure and chose too many answers, and the wrong ones reduced their score.
Some Suggestions for Studying
We recommend studying with others so you can hear different approaches to case development. The study process we've found to be helpful is:
This group study process, along with instructions for virtual study groups, is free online in the PTI Newsletter.
To enhance your retention of material, skim the material for the central points and highlight them; put them in your MindMap or outline them. Re-read the material and add a new level to your MindMap. But don't get bogged down recording all the details! If you want to review for more detail, then make flashcards.
Try making memory chains—for each word or concept, create an inner graphic picture of it. The more bizarre the image, the easier it will be to remember the image and the concept.
To become familiar with the exam structure, we highly recommend NBCC's NCMHCE study guide and PTI's ExamAce to help you understand the exam's approach. We also strongly recommend that students read the NBCC Ethical Guidelines so they know the value structure that underlies the entire exam.
Give Yourself the Best Chance for Success
Finally, we have found that the greatest obstacle to successfully passing the exam is your ability to access your wisdom. Your exam anxiety is your worst enemy. When you sit for your exam, if you are clear about your skills, understand the structure of the exam, and do not get into an argument with the way the exam is unfolding (the exam always wins), you are in the best possible position for success.
And if you don't pass, don't give up! Persevere—look at your scores, identify your weaknesses, study and practice, and take the exam until you pass!
Dr. Bullard's teaching and psychotherapy career spans 30+ years. She believes counseling is teaching new life skills and ways of being in the world. Her philosophy is that her job is to work herself out of a job. Helping develop PTI, co-authoring its textbook, and teaching the PTI workshop encompass that philosophy.
Linda Lawless, LMFT, LMHC, licensed 30 years, is an author, consultant, psychotherapist, and trainer. Her mission is to help professionals create practices that are as good for them as they are for their clients. Through PTI she helps qualified clinicians pass their exams so they can move into professional success.

Another fine specimen from the Petrified Forest National Park visitor's center in Arizona:
Postosuchus was another odd creature in the Triassic that looked much like a dinosaur, but wasn't — it was an archosaur, to be specific, a rauisuchian (close relative to the crocodiles).
During the late Triassic (228 – 202 million years ago), Postosuchus was the apex predator — and one of the largest carnivorous reptiles around. Just think of him as a large (up to 4 meters / 13 feet long and weighing up to 300 kg / 660 lb), fast, occasionally bipedal, armored crocodile — and you're most of the way there.
