Axle Weights...?
I'm not sure if this is the right section for this kind of question but here goes... (if not, Gary can you please move it for me or tell me where I should repost?)
I notice many times on here you talk about not going over your axle weight rating(s) which makes sense for many reasons but my question is, can you actually be ticketed for it? If so can someone direct me to or post a link to the FMCSA rule(s) that address this?
I've been told numerous times that exceeding the GVWR, GCWR etc. of your tow vehicle is not recommended but not illegal... (at least not in the U.S.) To my knowledge the only manufacturer recommendations that are enforcable by law are tire load ratings...? (for instance, my rear tires are rated at 3150 lbs when in a dual application for a total of 12,600lbs which exceeds the axle rating, but my trailer tires which are rated at 3500lbs each matches my axle rating of 7000lbs, so in that case the trailer axle ratings would be enforcable but not the truck axle rating)
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone can point me to the specific rule(s) that address this so I know what I'm up against the next time I get weighed out by a DOT cop... Based on my personal experiences (and yes, almost every time I've been inspected the officer does check my door sticker) there has never once been a mention of being overweight on the axle (which I know I have been, numerous times, but never over the tire load ratings) I just need to know if I've been getting really lucky, if this is a specific state to state ruling and not federal, or some other loophole perhaps? Thanks in advance!
You can never, should never exceed your axle, or tire weight ratings. Yes you can be ticketed.
So if your tires are heavier duty (higher rated) then stock, and all tires per axle combined will take more weight then the axle is rated for, no you still can't legally go over your axle rating. You've been lucky if you have been over. You cannot exceed your trucks IRP registered weight either.
I'm certainly not trying to start an argument or question your knowledge as it seems extensive but I'm looking for the actual statute that states you must abide by a certain axle limit... I don't know the statue number off the top of my head (I can find it if need be, if anyone's interested) but I recall a specific rule addressing tire loading, just never anything axle-wise... Any suggestions? I've already looked and can't find much...
No arguement here. Finding it shouldn't be that hard, maybe search the FMCSA website, contact the DOT, HWY Patrol? I'd hunt it down for you but I'm just to busy working right now. Let us know what you find.
So after almost 2 days of searching this is what I've come up with, sorry for being long-winded but I'm trying to be thorough... This is a quote I found on a different site and I will referance some actual statutes I've uncovered as well...
Quote "Some suggest that RAWR per the door sticker is legally binding by federal law. Specifically by para f of FMCSA:
(f) Except as provided herein, States may not enforce on the Interstate System vehicle weight limits of less than 20,000 pounds on a single axle, 34,000 pounds on a tandem axle, or the weights derived from the Bridge Formula, up to a maximum of 80,000 pounds, including all enforcement tolerances. States may not limit tire loads to less than 500 pounds per inch of tire or tread width, except that such limits may not be applied to tires on the steering axle. States may not limit steering axle weights to less than 20,000 pounds or the axle rating established by the manufacturer, whichever is lower.
The argument is that the last half of the last sentence "the axle rating established by the manufacturer, whichever is lower." is referring to the door sticker RAWR.
It is my contention that this actually refers to the "steering axle" which according to my English classes is the subject of the sentence. My contention is to find a standard relating to the rear axle in para f you have to refer back to the first sentence:
"States may not enforce on the Interstate System vehicle weight limits of less than 20,000 pounds on a single axle" " End Quote
FMCSA reg. 571.120 referances tire and axle load regulations, in summary it states that the tires on a given axle may not have a combined load rating of less the GAWR.
FMCSA reg. 393.75 covers the load restrictions based on tire choice (which is the only law addressing enforcable axle load(s) due to the fact that tire load ratings are actually issued by the DOT not the manufacturer) and reads as follows:
§ 393.75Tires.
(a) No motor vehicle shall be operated on any tire that
(1) Has body ply or belt material exposed through the tread or sidewall,
(2) Has any tread or sidewall separation,
(3) Is flat or has an audible leak, or
(4) Has a cut to the extent that the ply or belt material is exposed.
(b) Any tire on the front wheels of a bus, truck, or truck tractor shall have a tread groove pattern depth of at least 4/32 of an inch when measured at any point on a major tread groove. The measurements shall not be made where tie bars, humps, or fillets are located.
(c) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, tires shall have a tread groove pattern depth of at least 2/32 of an inch when measured in a major tread groove. The measurement shall not be made where tie bars, humps or fillets are located.
(d) No bus shall be operated with regrooved, recapped or retreaded tires on the front wheels.
(e) A regrooved tire with a load-carrying capacity equal to or greater than 2,232 kg (4,920 pounds) shall not be used on the front wheels of any truck or truck tractor.
Tire loading restrictions
(except on manufactured homes).
No motor vehicle
(except manufactured homes, which are governed by paragraph (g) of this section)
shall be operated with tires that carry a weight greater than that marked on the sidewall of the tire
or, in the absence of such a marking, a weight greater than that specified for the tires in any of the publications of any of the organizations listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119 (49 CFR 571.119, S5.1(b)) unless:
(1) The vehicle is being operated under the terms of a special permit issued by the State; and
(2) The vehicle is being operated at a reduced speed to compensate for the tire loading in excess of the manufacturer's rated capacity for the tire. In no case shall the speed exceed 80 km/hr (50 mph).
(g)(1) Tire loading restrictions for manufactured homes built before January 1, 2002. Manufactured homes that are labeled pursuant to 24 CFR 3282.362(c)(2)(i) before January 1, 2002, must not be transported on tires that are loaded more than 18 percent over the load rating marked on the sidewall of the tire or, in the absence of such a marking, more than 18 percent over the load rating specified in any of the publications of any of the organizations listed in FMVSS No. 119 (49 CFR 571.119, S5.1(b)). Manufactured homes labeled before January 1, 2002, transported on tires overloaded by 9 percent or more must not be operated at speeds exceeding 80 km/hr (50 mph).
(2) Tire loading restrictions for manufactured homes built on or after January 1, 2002. Manufactured homes that are labeled pursuant to 24 CFR 3282.362(c)(2)(i) on or after January 1, 2002, must not be transported on tires loaded beyond the load rating marked on the sidewall of the tire or, in the absence of such a marking, the load rating specified in any of the publications of any of the organizations listed in FMVSS No. 119 (49 CFR 571.119, S5.1(b)).
Code of Federal Regulations448
(h) Tire inflation pressure. (1) No motor vehicle shall be operated on a tire which has a cold inflation pressure less than that specified for the load being carried.
(2) If the inflation pressure of the tire has been increased by heat because of the recent operation of the vehicle, the cold inflation pressure shall be estimated by subtracting the inflation buildup factor shown in Table 1 from the measured inflation pressure.
Table 1Inflation Pressure Measurement Correction for Heat Average speed of vehiclein the previous hour Minimum inflation pressure buildup Tires with 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs.) maximum load rating or less Tires with over 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs.) load rating

This link comes from the CA DOT website which reads almost identically to what I've been able to find on other state DOT sites as well:
Another quote on the subject from a different site:
"I am a retired state police commander. I commanded a district which had the highest fine producing fixed scales in the state. In additiona I was one of 2 of the first Troops in the state to be certified as motor carrier safety inspectors. By IL statute only the ISP has the authority to conduct MCS inspections. I taught truck weight and MCS law at our academy.
Simple answer to your question. The sticker on your truck is placed there by the manufacturer. It's like the tag on your mattress. It's required by law to tell the consumer what is in that product. After sales that sticker doesn't have to remain on the vehicle and there are a lot of vehicles legally on the road today which no longer has the sticker because of body repair, etc. The manufacturers do not make the laws. Think about this too. Do you think every Troop or weigh master out there has memorized what all the manufacturers stickers say on every style of truck made? Then toss into the mix 4X4 v 4X2, same model trucks but with different engines, same model trucks but with different axle ratings, or same model trucks but just different years. We don't care what the sticker says or even if there is a sticker. What the manufacturers put on that sticker is not law, it's just a to let the consumer know what that particular vehicle's design specs are.
The max weight laws are generally 20K on a single axle, 34K on a tandum axle and gross is 80K. These are federally mandated limits. I say "generally" because gross depends on the bridge length of your vehicle (distance between the front and rear axle) and the number of axles. The 34K can also vary depending the distance between the tandum axles. It could be more. Weight limits may also be posted less than the max on certain roads."
In summary everything I've been able to locate (aside from hearsay and opinion with no fact to back it up) seems to indicate that the only "enforceable" weight limits lie with your registration and tires, GVRW, GCWR and GAWR are simply manufacturers recommendations and have no legally binding authority (there was a statute in SK making them legally binding but as far as I can tell that was repealed in 2007)... Now I'm not saying overloading components is safe or necessarily intelligent (it may void warranties among other things) but I see nothing legally binding about manufacturers ratings...
I know there are people who claim to have been hassled over this exact issue but I have yet to see anyone show a copy of a warning or citation or even specifically refer to the section of code that they allegedly violated... Not saying that I don't believe them but I would like to look over the law myself so I can have some knowledge on my side in the event that I get hassled for it rather than just taking someone elses word for it...
If anyone has received a citation for this I would love to see a copy of it just so I can see what section of code the alleged violation was included in...
Anyone who has any additional light to shed on the subject please chime in!
Interesting. I still recommend that you DO NOT load over what your axle rating states in your door jam, or your tire ratings either. Sorry for the short response, I'm mobile right now.
That's ok gary I appreciate any and all replies. When you get time to go through my post more thoroughly and give me your opinion that would be great and as always I reserve the right to be wrong! Just for the record I never overload my tires but as far as the axle goes (sterling 10.25) ford and sterling have 2 different ratings, according to one I have gone over, according to the other I haven't so your guess is as good as mine... Keith
the 20k single axle and 34 tandem axle would be reffering to big trucks i believe. mine had a door sticker of 52k for the truck - 12k front 40k for both rears... but on tandems you can legally only load up to 34k. as well the the trailer - 34k for tandems and 40k for a spread axle (im guessing due to the spread its two single axle ratings on 20k each to get the 40k total)
12+34+34 = 80k for a semi.... if you load over that (requiring an overweight permit) you can still have 40K on the drives, and 40k if you have a spread trailer. you can keep increasing weight as much as you want you just have to keep adding more axles to compensate for the extra weight so that you never go over the mfg's weight ratting on the axles.
hope that kinda explains it....
Yeah as far as I can tell those laws were enacted to apply to big trucks but I can't find a separate set of laws for small trucks... I might have to start stopping at scale houses as I go by and take a poll as I go cross-country, see what the enforcement thinks about the issue
I'm going to tell the following story because I think it reinforces the opinion stated earlier that no one can be expected to know every combination and that most of the laws were written with big trucks in mind. Mostly I'm going to tell it because it made me laugh!
I was crossing from one state to another and pulled into the port. I drove the steer axle over the scale, then the drive axle and finally the trailer axles at which time I get a red light. I was empty so I wasn't expecting any issues but the light stayed red and red and more red as I sat staring at it intently. I finally decided the weigh master must have stepped away from the console while forgetting to give me a green light. At this point I took my foot off the brake and let the truck start rolling. I immediately heard someone start yelling, slammed on the brakes and checked the mirrors to see what was wrong. There were two officers by my right side trailer axles with a tape measure. I got out and explained to them that I was sorry but I had been focused on the light. No problem they said, they were just measuring the axle spread and for me to park and come in. When I got to the counter the mid 40 year old male officer explained that he had no issue with me but was using my trailer to demonstrate to the new officer in training that while I have three axles the spread does not meet the ten foot requirement. Now the new officer in training was a mid 30 year old rather attractive female and this guy was puffed up like a blow fish trying to impress her with his knowledge. I then asked him "By not having the 10' spread what does that mean to me in terms of what I'm allowed in your state?" His reply, "We can only allow you the weight allowed for a two axle trailer." At this point I thought Uh Oh, a two axle single tire trailer won't be allowed much weight so I asked him "what does that mean to me in terms of weight allowed?" I think he puffed up a little more if that were possible and replied "thirty four thousand!" I thanked him very much and got out of there. I wonder if I'd of had the ten foot spread what they would allow me?
XCAV8R, good thing a drop axle wasnt involved, he would have sounded like Cliff Claven from the tv show ' cheers ' ! " I calculate by the hypothesis of the quadrilateral bisect of the asociles right triangle, counterbalanced by the offset of the hypoteneus of the pythagorean threum, at a ratio of the secant divided by a percentile of the trapezoid.....wanna sleep with me tonite sweetie???? I is smart !!!
XCAV8R: What state was that in? Not gonna lie that sounds like some of the IL truck enforcement cops I've talked to haha although I have to admit some of them are pretty sharp, just depends on who you get I guess...
Axle weight ratings
I agree with Walkinman in that there may not be a statute that specifically limits weight on an axle per the manufacturer's specs. But I also agree with Gary in that one should not overload an axle assembly beyond what it is factory rated for.
The statement that Walkinman posted from a former state patrol officer shows that even they recognize that there is not a rule that covers this topic. I too would like to know if anyone who posts on here has been fined or warned about axle over-loading.
Dutch, you nailed it!!!! I'm pretty sure the officer didn't!
Walkinman, I specifically didn't name the state just to keep from having someone pass this on to them but it was not Illinois. Probably not a big deal I'm just a paranoid kind of guy!
XCAV8R, Can't say I blame you, I can be pretty paranoid myself (I think that helps me keep my record clean
) and I wouldn't want to get you in trouble I was just being nosey
I wasn't thinkng of me so much as the subject state just taking a harder look at us because they got made fun of. Like I said, probably not a big deal, just that continuing paranoia thing I've got going.
Hey sometimes paranoia can be a good thing haha it helps keep us out of trouble
New gcwr definition?
Hi everyone! I enjoy this forum & have adhered to a lot of good advice I've found here. I know this topic has been discussed more than once here but was recently informed of an fmcsa amendment that has me concerned. Should it?
I don't think so because the GCWR given by the manufacturer (Dodge for instance) clearly states "Standard Configuration" in their spec sheet. I wouldnt say the trailers we pull are anything close to a Standard Configuration. The window stickers on a Dodge also state, "Unless Optional Equipment is added". I take that to mean extra axles, larger axles, more brakes, etc.

Bella Thorne
March 25, 2014
Bella Thorne, star of the Disney Channel's Shake It Up, is headed off to star in considerably darker material, as she has been cast in Dimension Film's new installment in the Amityville franchise, according to The Wrap.
Franck Khalfoun, director of such horror films as P2 and the 2012 remake of Maniac, is set to direct, with Jennifer Jason Leigh set to star.
The Amityville Horror, released in 1979, was the first in a long line of films set within the haunted Amityville home and based on a supposedly real story told in the book The Amityville Horror: A True Story by Jay Anson.
According to reports, the new Amityville film was originally going to be of the found-footage variety, but those plans were scrapped in favor of a traditional narrative. Dimension has slated the film for a January 2015 release.

Free Agency – Bargain Hunting
Free Agency – Bargain Hunting
Free agency isn't just about going out and getting the best players. Everyone knows Nnamdi Asomugha is an elite cornerback, and that Ray Edwards is a hard-to-stop defensive end.
While, in an ideal world, you'd be able to upgrade your roster with both men, the simple facts are that teams will be clamoring for their attention and they can only choose one. More so, they'll cost big money and that's not something every team has the capacity to take on.
So instead, franchises need to look for guys who contribute, but aren't quite as sought after, or won't cost quite as much. Last year, a number of teams found big time contributors in this regard. We're looking at Houston with Wade Smith, Seattle with Raheem Brock and Chris Clemons, and Tennessee with Jason Babin.
If you're prepared to look, there are some bargains to be had. And if you're not prepared to look, just listen to what we have to say as we name our top ten bargain free agents. After all, we wouldn't lie to you.
Antwan Barnes, DE / OLB
It's pretty hard to get noticed as a rush specialist when you're a Raven. You know Terrell Suggs and Jarret Johnson aren't coming off the field, and so it proved for Barnes. In 2008 and 2009 combined, he managed less than 300 snaps, though he did show some promise. Fast forward to 2010 and after seeing some action for the Eagles (and generating pressure) he finally got a real opportunity as a pass rusher in nickel situations with the Charger. The outcome? He was the sixth most productive pass rusher in the whole of the NFL with 32 quarterback disruptions on just 202 roles. Maybe he can't translate to an every down end, but he could star in sub packages.
Atari Bigby, S
72 snaps. That's all Bigby saw in 2010 as the Packers found partners for Nick Collins in the shape of Morgan Burnett and Charlie Peprah. A year earlier he got 757 regular season snaps and responded with four interceptions and a ninth place ranking in our safety grades. He's not great in coverage and will give up some plays, but he'd represent a cheap upgrade for a number of teams in a safety market crowded with players looking for top dollar.
Brandon Jackson, HB
You'll never confuse Jackson with a top running back. Simply put, when you hand him the ball he's not the most productive runner in the league. But the NFL is a passing league more now than it ever has been, so you need backs who make you better in that regard. While others are looking at Darren Sproles and Jason Snelling, check out Brandon Jackson and you won't go wrong. The past two years he has excelled when the Packers have got him the ball in space, and he backs that up with some impressive blitz pick up.
Evan Mathis, G
We've recognized the play of Mathis on more than one occasion to no avail. For whatever reason, the Bengals just didn't see fit to get him on the field consistently after an incredible start to the 2009 year. It's a shame for them (he was much better than Nate Livings), and a shame for offensive line aficionados. Mathis was dominant when he was on the field, rarely giving up pressure and pushing around defenders in the run game. Even when he came in for some cameo snaps in 2010, he highlighted his talent with a series of good plays. Some team will get excellent value with him.
Fred Evans, DT
Ironically, with Pat Williams moving on, the best fit for Evans would be with the Vikings. They have room for a tackle who can eat some space and contribute on two downs. That's the kind of guy Evans can be, only he found himself dropping down the depth chart for Minnesota this year. Still, we'd look back to 2009 and particularly 2010, when, in limited snaps, Evans was a real force on running downs. Plenty of teams could do with getting stouter in this regard.
Jason Spitz, C/ G
Back in 2008, he played like one of the best linemen in the league, despite being shifted about at right guard, center and left guard. He had some bad performances, but more often than not he won his battles and earned our recognition for it. Moving to the present day and, in those two seasons since, he's managed just 301 snaps. He hasn't looked great in them, but then spending most of them at left guard was probably asking too much. A proven commodity at center and right guard, there aren't enough good offensive linemen in this league for Spitz to not be on the field.
Nick Roach, LB
He made an impression in 2008, and took advantage of an injury to Brian Urlacher to really show off how talented a linebacker he is in 2009. Unfortunately, the Bears are deep at linebacker and he only got on the field for 131 snaps last year. The shame in that is that whenever Roach is on the field he tends to have a positive impact (as long as you have him going forward). Could prove a very nice pick up for a team looking at a two down linebacker while not prepared to spend on a bigger name.
Omar Gaither, LB
The last time Omar Gaither got on the field for a significant amount of time he was making a big time impression before injury ended his 2009 season. His play in the first five games of that season was as good as any linebacker at the time. Sure, he isn't the best dropping into coverage, but his work in 2009 (and 2008 before that) are the work of a man who needs to be on the field. Get the impression he could flourish in a number of defensive systems.
Scott Mruczkowski, C
When Nick Hardwick was out injured, in stepped Mruczkowski and you know what? He actually played better than Hardwick that year. Unfortunately, with the pedigree of the Pro Bowler, Mruczkowski was never going to get into the starting lineup, and understandably so because Hardwick had a great year. But now as a free agent in a league that could use some better centers, someone could save themselves a lot of money (and get better production) with the man out of Bowling State Green.
Victor Abiamiri, DE
After missing all of 2010, it would be easy to forget about Abiamiri, but he's still young at just 25, and for those that do remember, was actually pretty decent in 2009. He showed the kind of ability that a complete defensive end has, as good against the run as he is rushing the passer. He may never put up the kind of dominant numbers that win you Pro Bowl appearances, but he can go in and do a job for a team.

Boston Bombing: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know
Here's everything you need to know about the bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday.Click here to read more
According to CIA Counterterrorism Director Larry Johnson, the type and timing of the devices used in the Boston Marathon bombing bears the "hallmark of al-Qaeda." Although there is no concrete evidence to suggest the origin of the attack was either domestic or international, Johnson said that the bombs used (pressure cookers) are popular on the India-Pakistan border and are favored by al-Qaeda militants, reports Mediaite.com.
"It's important to note that that particular model – that type of explosive has been very popular along the Pakistan-India border," Johnson said.
Boston Bombs Were Pressure Cookers: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
According to recent reports, the bombs in the Boston Marathon bombing were made from pressure cookers, similar to what other terrorists used in previous attacks.Click here to read more
Johnson also said that the bombs, timed to go off at approximately the same moment, were also most likely constructed by an organized terrorism group, rather than just some crackpot.

No matter the dispute - whether about pigs in Kanosh, a power plant near Sigurd or a posh resort outside Beaver - a recent state law shut the door to Utah residents seeking to settle those spats at the ballot box.
On Friday, the Utah Supreme Court flung that door wide open again.
A unanimous seven-page ruling tossed out SB53 as unconstitutional and empowered Utahns to take on land-use decisions through the time-honored practice of gathering enough signatures to force a public vote.
The issue came to a head when some die-hard Sevier County residents launched a grass-roots push so voters could weigh in on a proposed coal-fired power plant near Sigurd.
"When we started out in February 2008, we believed we were doing a countywide right to vote," Sevier County resident Elaine Bonavita said Friday. "We now can say we played a part in restoring the right to vote to all Utahns across the state."
SB53, sponsored by Sen. Brent Goodfellow, D-West Valley City, barred voters from launching initiatives dealing with land-use ordinances. The bill breezed through the 2008 Legislature, got signed by the governor and took effect in May.
Bonavita led a successful effort to get the 299-acre coal-fired power plant on next month's ballot. However, attorneys for Sevier Power Co. pointed to SB53 and argued that Proposition 1 should be removed. A 6th District judge agreed.
Early last week, Utah's high court ordered the measure back on the ballot and, on Friday, issued its full opinion.
"This direct prohibition of the subject of an initiative brought otherwise within the conditions, manner and time restrictions imposed by law is beyond the power of the Legislature to enact," Justice Michael Wilkins wrote.
With that, the court upheld the people's power to initiate legislation on any subject, including land use.
In March, land-use attorney Jeff Owens called SB53 a loss for Utahns.
He ultimately argued Sevier County's right-to-vote case before the high court.
"They let me gravy-train my way to a Supreme Court win," Owens said, crediting the grass-roots residents for "doing the hard work."
SB53's reversal took Goodfellow by surprise.
"It was never my intent to take away the power of the people to petition their government," he said.
"My intent was to protect the integrity of master plans, private property and land-use documents."
Sevier Power's co-owner, Bruce Taylor, hoped for a different decision.
His efforts to get the required approvals for a proposed $600 million facility have spanned eight years.
Farther south, Beaver County resident Margaret Wellman, who took part in the fight against the exclusive but embattled Mount Holly ski-golf resort, applauded the ruling.
"It affects the whole state," she said, "so we're happy for everybody who does not want to see unlimited, big development."
Kanosh resident Steve Maxfield, a Millard County Commission candidate, also rejoiced.
Maxfield has pushed for a referendum on his town's new land-use document that bars residents from owning pigs.
"Kanosh is a great town that has been around for over 150 years," Maxfield said. "We've chosen to be neighbors. If our neighbor wants to have a pig, that's OK."

Esthetic Schools
The skin is the largest organ of the body, so good skin care is essential for purposes of long-term health and wellness. Estheticians embrace this philosophy and seek to help clients look their best and feel comfortable in their own skin. If you are the type that always seems to notice healthy skin (or skin in need of special care), consider exploring esthetic schools and transform your expert observations into employment opportunities.
Estheticians want more than just the visual results that a facial or spa body treatment affords; they want their clients to know how to take care of their skin for the duration. Estheticians may also recommend make-up that will enhance their client's skin tone and features. Designing a customized skin care plan that includes dietary recommendations is another facet of an esthetician's job duties. In some salons, estheticians may be called upon to assist or even take the lead with hiring, firing or supervising employees, or advertising the business to the surrounding community. Finally, some estheticians work in medical settings, interacting with patients dealing with skin irritations resulting from diseases like cancer or perhaps serious burn injuries.
Esthetic Schools: A Smart Move
Over 1,000 esthetic schools are currently accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences. This first-rate commission is approved by the U.S. Department of Education, so you can rest assured that your training meets the highest standards. Before exploring the list of 1,000 schools, make sure you meet the basic admission requirements. Esthetic school attendees must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, and be free from communicable/contagious disease. You must also be willing and interested in working closely with people to meet their health and beauty needs and goals as it pertains to their skin.
Courses typically offered in a basic, 300-hour program at an esthetic school are as follows: eyebrow shaping, massage, makeup application, skin diseases and disorders, and anatomy & physiology, to name a few. If you're interested in a career as a medical esthetician, you will likely be required to take courses in glycolic peels, microdermabrasion and laser hair removal; this level of advanced training encompasses a 600-hour program.
After graduation, pursuit of a CIDESCO diploma is an available option if you want to take your esthetics career to the next level. This diploma provides international qualification in esthetics and requires two-days of written and practical exams, in addition to three years of experience as an esthetician.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that, as of May 2008, about 26,300 people held skin care specialist positions and earned an average hourly wage of $15.40 (including tips and commission) and an average annual wage of $32,040. Those who successfully complete esthetic school and become licensed to offer a wide range of skin care services will fare well and are likely to find more opportunities in this growing field.
Check out esthetic schools today to find the program that will prepare you for a beautiful career in skin care.

I have a WRX wagon 1996, I have noticed over the past few days when starting after it has been parked overnight or if it has been left for a couple of hours when I get in a start driving it appears to 'miss' slightly, it is fine if I accelerate moderately but if I am driving gently it has a subtle jerk or lack of smoothness. When it warms up it is absolutely fine and goes like a bullet. I have replaced the fuel pump due to failure a few months ago so that is not the issue, it has been serviced regularly but I have not, as yet changed the plugs, building up the enthusiasm for those!
Could this be an engine management problem or one of the sensors, it feels as if it is running slightly weak when cold, just like a car would with a carburetor/choke not working properly.

He's coming back for one more ....
He's coming back for one more ....
"Hell never sell any ice cream going at that speed"
If its against Juan Manuel Marquez I fancy his chances of winning.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
If you need a friend, get a dog !
Marquez is the name that keeps coming up hope this will be in the uk!
Would love it to pan out so that he fights Marquez then Urango then challenges for the winner of Pac man VS Maywether...winning them all obviously
he looks in terrible shape marquez is way undersized, marquez is a better fighter but is probably giving up too much weight to hatton. I like Hatton vs margarito or cotto, but that won't happen.
"A boxer is the best predator on land. The Lion, but throw him in the shark tank and he becomes just another meal" Renzo Gracie.
I'd be intrested to see Hatton vs JMM, JMM is an awesome fighter...seems to have lost alot of credit since the Mayweather fight but he's still one of the best around at his weight.
Hatton vs Cotto would also be decent. Either way i'm glad to see him fight again and pray he can go out on a win, one of my fav fighters and he's done alot for british boxing...don't want to see him go out on a loss. I know people say he should retire but if it was that easy why does pretty much every single fighter come back? If you retire on top fans will call for you to come back, seems like you can't rightfully retire untill you've had a few losses which is stupid.
if hatton v cotto was on i would sell one of my lung to go see that.
Wherever and whoever he fights I'll be on the front row again just incase it happens to be his final fight.
I was on the front row at UFC 105 and sat 3 seats away from GSP shit was crazy.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
i had good seat got them from dana and was one his blog couldnt belive it.

Hail damage
How do I get all of these small dents out my truck looks like a golf ball
Perfect job for someone who does paint repair. They will usually give you a price by the panel.
They are like storm chasers. :D
:drunk: Sure did. Honest I'm still sober. Thanks Brian.
Thanks man I was lost
I had a guy from Kansas who worked for me. He said that repairing hail dents with a torch and ice cubes, is a talent many bodymen there learn very well.
I think he said to heat a dime-sized spot to red color... then quench it with an ice cube.
Good luck. {:-(
Fixing something like that saying heat it with a torch and put an ice cube on it would be like saying "slice a hole into her side and then remove the appendix and sew her up". :rolleyes:
Just passin' on what I heard. :-)
I could have said "Sand it and fill it with plastic".
what YOU DO IS TAKE A SMALL BU -TAINE TORCH AND YOU GET SO YOU CAN SITE DOWN THE PANEL YOUR WORKING ON SO YOU CAN SEE THE HAIL DENT AS IT STARTS TO COME UP. Now you slowly warm the area around the dent with the torch working from around the hail dent intoward the middle of it. Dont get the panel to warm and if it starts to go down instead of up get off it with the heat. You should see the hail dent come to where it looks perfect now real fast hit it with a cold rag dipped in water or with ice in it. The panel should lock right there.Ive done hood and roofs this way. I did and old ford taurus hood this way. It was sliver and I couldn't get a couple to come up or we wouldn't have even had to paint the hood. If you get good at it you wont even burn the paint.Find and old hood or trunk lid take a marble in a sock and put some dents in it and practice untill you get the hang of it. Once straight you can do it over and over untill it comes easy to you. When you do it's way faster than filling with mud and blocking straight.
Could make all the difference on the proper process to do the repair old all steel panels new could have aluminum hood and such on them JMO.
We really need to know exactly what it is IMHO to really help. :thumbup:
NO MartinSR no joke. I had never tried it until and assistant manager told me how to do it so I thought what the heck I'll try anything once.We had a hail job in the shop and he wanted me to do it. Said it didn't have to be perfect but to get it as good as possible. Was and older ford taurus late 80s style sliver in color.I got the hood set up so I could site across it like I was about to do pdr work. Then took my small butane torch and as I said started around the outer edge of the hail dent with the heat and slowly warmed the metal working into the center making sure not to get it to hot. Sure enough it expanded the metal just like he said it would. As the dent raised up with the heat I could watch it until it was up perfect with the rest of the hood then hit it real fast with the cold rag and it just seemed to lock it right there. Dam est thing I ever saw. I would never have thought it would work but it did. The hood had maybe a dozen or better hail dents in it and I got them all out but two. Took maybe a hour after I got the hang of it. Only burnt the paint in a couple of spot and the just enough to discolor it. Filled the two remaining dents, da-ed it down and painted and looked good. Take and old junk hood with hail dents in it and try it. If you can learn the trick it's a real time saver.
I don't have hail damage very often (I have only seen it a few times in my life) but I do have one coming in next week, a Kia Soul, I'll give it a try.
But I have tried this method on other small soft dings and it was a failure. Maybe the hail dent being about as "soft" a dent as you can get, maybe that makes the difference.
That would be something to see.
Brian, we had hail here in the north bay on thursday. it was puny hail that hit the ground and was just gone. when i lived in kansas in the 60s i saw golf ball sized hail that totaled cars left outside. How about the lightening/thunder storms that rolled through the bay area??? SF, the east and south bay got pounded. PG&E reported over 1000 strikes to the grid. being in the east bay did you see any of that???

text: I wouldent say that I have downsized per say...I primarily carry a Colt 1911 or an S&W 686...but, some days I just don't feel like strapping on that kind of weight. Comfort is the key, you hear time and time again "if its not comfortable, you wont carry it." With that being said...some days I have the 1911 on my hip...other days its the G30...and some days its a S&W 642. I think the only reason I would change for good would be due to physical disability (if something happened to me where I was physically unable to carry a larger firearm) or if, for whatever the reason, I was no longer able to shoot my primary weapon effectively.

Product cipher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, a product cipher is a popular type of stream ciphers that works by executing in sequence a number of simple transformations such as substitution, permutation, and modular arithmetic.
Product ciphers usually consist of iterations of several rounds of the same algorithm. While individual rounds are not themselves secure, it is hoped that a sufficiently long chain of rounds would load the cipher with sufficient confusion and diffusion properties as to make it resistant to cryptanalysis.
A product cipher that uses only substitutions and permutations is called a SP-network. Feistel ciphers are another important class of product ciphers.

Well, I found my forever home one week ago and life couldn't be better! My new sister Zoe is quite the character and in spite of being a little pushy in the beginning, she has now warmed up to my presence. Gee, who wouldn't love such a good looking boy like me.
It would be great if my mum and dad didn't have to go to work, but I really can't complain too much as I get to stay in the cosy room with a Kong and some treats. I don't really care about Kongs, unlike my sister, but don't tell my mum as she rushed out to buy a new one just for me. She also rushed out and bought me a plush doggy bed, but it really is too soft for my liking. I was hoping Zoe would use it but she just loves to throw it around the room.
Speaking of Zoe. She actually gets to stay in the main bedroom during the day as my parents don't think it is wise to leave us together. But little do they know that we talk to each other through the vents while they are away. Actually, my dad came home and caught us the other day and he thought it was hilarious.
I really cannot believe how much exercise I am getting these days. My parents work full time and my mum is at college 2 nights per week, but this doesn't prevent them from taking me on lots of fun walks around the neighborhood. My mum even gets up at 5am to take us for a run and then in the evenings I get to walk for 1.5hrs with mum, dad and Zoe. Gee, this is the life!
I have also noticed that my skin hasn't been itchy since coming to my new home. Mum tells me that the food I was eating probably caused my skin issues and now that I am eating Evo dry food (with some salmon oil) I am feeling much better. I think a stress free life also helps and my life is certainly that.
Well, I better go and get some rest, as I heard that my mum is taking me to a dog friendly wine tasting event in my neighborhood this evening. Now that should be fun! Cheers!
Well, I think I have finally found my forever home. Admittedly, I have only been in my new house for 6 days, but it does seem like my mum and dad really love me alot.
My new mum and dad don't know a whole lot about my life other than I arrived at the shelter around the age of 3 yrs old. A friend had taken me from my original home to try and give me a better life, but I only stayed with her for a month and then I was dropped off at the animal shelter. I really didn't like staying in that place and ended up getting a really bad cough, then the hair on my head started to fall out. The wonderful people at the shelter thought I was stressed so they found me a foster mum, who decided to adopt me. I was so excited! I am going to a new home again, but this time I just knew it would be forever.
But I was wrong. Just a few months later I found myself back in the shelter, again. I really don't know what I did wrong? But here I am, again, back in this cold, dark cell.
Then something wonderful happened. I started to hear a buzz around the shelter about someone wanting to meet me. Can you believe it? I should be really happy, but I don't think I am going to get too excited about the prospect of a new home just yet.
Well, I met the new lady and she seems lovely. I knew straight away that she had fallen for my good looks, but then she drove away. Oh well, back to the cage. Well, would you believe she came back AGAIN and this time she had another dog with her? Maybe she is dropping her dog off just like I was dropped off. Well, we actually got a chance to sniff each other and then she drove away, again.
Well, at that point I thought all hope for me finding a new home was gone, but would you believe that the lady came back AGAIN! This time she had the same dog with her and a man. Well, I thought they all seemed lovely, and I was nearly excited enough to start wagging my tail…and then they left.
One day went by, then another, and then on the third day the lady came back (yet again), but this time she had a collar and leash. I really think this is it! Yep, she put the collar on me, the staff said there farewells, and we were on our way, home sweet home.

El personal es genial. Me encanta el servicio al cliente. Miss Yolanda siempre me hacen sentir bienvenido.
Es el peor lugar en el que nos hemos alojado. Alfombra manchada. Recortes de pelo en lavabo. Suciedad por todas partes.
No me alojé Encontramos una cucaracha dentro de la nevera
Ubicación y precio Ruido a las 11:00 de la noche. Se podía escuchar el piso de arriba. Gente corriendo y llamando a las puertas.
Habitación limpia y bonita La puerta no cerraba correctamente.
Ate at Shula's restaurant, which was very good. Just high priced. Location is very convenient. Staff at hotel and restaurant very friendly and helpful. You could hear everything that went on in the hall. Rooms are noisy.The smoke alarm in the room across went off and they couldn't turn it off for awhile. Didn't know there was $15 charge for parking.
We were in town for the weekend for a wedding. I thought the hotel was very nice. Clean. Modern. The staff was friendly. Overall I enjoyed the hotel and would recommend to a friend. Level 8 bar was very nice too. The balcony was spacious and had a nice view to sit, relax, and enjoy a drink.
Clean sheets This is a hotel that gets a lot of traffic. Its clean but the room smelled like spray deorant and the floors had carpet which was not great flooring for the cost of the hotel. Also forced valet parking. Other hotels priced less offer comparble amenties for less.
Location is perfect, staff friendly and efficient, rooms are very nice and having a Shula's 347 at the hotel a real plus. Was very disappointed with thev $15 a night parking. So my stay was not the $149 advertised. Bait and switch?
Great location Room was humid. The sheets and bed felt damp and the carpet did not feel clean.
Great breakfast selection. Convenient location. Has option of 2 bedrooms and a kitchen with a small living room. The room I had this time (I have stayed previously) was apparently trashed by the previous customer. The bathroom doorknob was broken and mended, bath towel bar broken, rug was stained all over, doors were stained (specially the 2nd bedroom one), ottoman was shredded.
Friendly staff. Loved the social hour with food. So special!!! Would have liked the pool to be heated.
The room was huge & fully equipped with a full size kitchen, although we were only there one night. Breakfast selection was good with average quality.
No surprises, no hiccups in check in, price, or checkout. Room was clean, spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Was here for one night only to attend nieces graduation from FAMU, and the lication was perfect. Easy access to shopping, restaurants, and graduation venue. Probably get a cheaper rate but for the convenience and quality of room and servuce I think it would be hard to beat the value. One night stay. It exceeded our expectations.
Justo a la salida de la autopista interestatal Olores extraños, sucio ascensor, pequeño desayuno
Mi mayor preocupación cuando viajo es la limpieza, el precio. Me encanta conseguir una buena oferta. Fue impresionante!!
Estaba bien. La alfombra en la habitación era vieja y estaba manchada. Creo que deberían cambiar todas las moquetas de las habitaciones.
Todo Nada
Had a nice breakfast bar , spacious room, evening get together with food Room smelled like a wet dog and later like reheated fish
Cleanliness, quiet, friendly staff, hotel gym, breakfast buffet The rooms are designed so that the bathroom sink is viewed by all, so there is no privacy at the sink. There should be a bathroom door that closes off the sink area from the rest of the room, the way it's done in most homes and other hotels.
Convenience Breakfast included Location Friendly staff The horrific smell in our room that remained for the duration of our 3 day stay. Smelled like a litter box. Was booked solid so had to put up with it. No offer to locate and eliminate the source. Just to change rooms but were none available. Would have been great otherwise.
Reserved room with two queen beds a month before we got there. Called the night on the way. Got there had a king bed with pull out sofa! Had to move furniture and set up pull out at midnight. And the room smelled
Any hilton is always a very nice place to stay I didn't like the price of the hotel just because it was graduation the prices went up. Also I was not told a $40 charge will be taken off my card but have yet to get refunded
The staff was extremely courteous and put in the extra effort to make our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable! After our evening check in, we were making some hot chocolate to have with our cookies and we were offered whipped cream. She was so kind and pleasant from the start! The room had everything we needed and expected from our frequent stays at Hampton Inn. A nightlight was a plus since our bathroom light switch is connected to the fan. Love that the hotel makes the effort to be environmentally friendly too. Would definitely stay here again!
No serious complaints. The bed seemed a little hard to me overall the room with comfortable. Cleaning staff were a bit loud we could hear them laughing and talking in the halls while we were still asleep. The front desk staff were very friendly
We couldn't check in until 6pm because the football team was there. We did not know until we arrived in town at noon. The general manager Sophia was very helpful as well as Trey on the night shift.
Breakfast was nice . Location was perfect . Comfortable and clean . Not all staff were professional .
Estaba justo al lado de la autopista Hay un montón de prostitutas
Nada La habitación era desagradable y tenía una horrible olor a moho. Era vieja y sin duda no vale la pena.
Nada Muy decepcionante, cucarachas por todas partes mientras dormíamos.

Help with shrimp substrate!
Hi all,
I just got a 20 gallon tank and would like to put CRB and CRS in it. I was wondering what substrates you guys would reccomend that are avaiable online in the US. My water comes out 7.0 out of the tap. I am trying to stay away from Fluval and ADA aquasoil shipping is about 35 to my house so its more expensive then the actual bag. I do have a old bucket full of floramax i use in my 75 gallon, but i still want to lower my ph. Suggestions!Please help! :D
Is there a swimming pool or spa supply store anywhere near Point Pleasant NJ ?
If so, just buy a bag of pool filter sand. Your shrimps will love it.
They sell PFS in 50 lb. bags for around $10, and you'll have enough to do 2 - 20 gal tanks, or more.
No, it won't lower your pH, but most other appropriate substrates for shrimp won't either.
There are other safe ways to lower pH - you don't have to lower it very much to make it ideal for shrimp. Are you planning on a piece of dritwood for that tank ? That could do it.
If you are willing to use the fluval shrimp stratum, amazon will deliver it for free if you buy 2 8.8lb bags. That is what I have done for my last 2 20L tanks.
I see you are in NJ, Ridgewood aquarium imports carries ADA soil.
