text: Are the people selling at gun shows all dealers or are some private collectors? Is it usually better to go early on in the gun show to find better deals or wait til day 2 or 3? I am going next weekend. I can go after work on the first day or anytime on the 3rd day. I was wondering if I am likely to miss out on the gun I am looking for (which is the Springfield XD 9mm) if I wait until Sunday. Or will I be able to get it cheaper if it is still there on Sunday because the show is almost over.

Funeral-Related Industries:
Complaints and State Laws Vary, and FTC Could Better Manage the Funeral Rule
GGD-99-156: Published: Sep 23, 1999. Publicly Released: Oct 21, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined various issues involving consumers' dealings with funeral-related or death care industries, which include businesses that provide funeral and cemetery goods or services, focusing on: (1) the availability of information on the nature and extent of consumer complaints about death care industries; (2) the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) efforts to ensure compliance with its Funeral Rule; and (3) selected state governments' roles in protecting consumers in their death care transactions.
GAO noted that: (1) comprehensive information on consumer complaints that would indicate the overall nature and extent of problems that consumers experienced with various aspects of death care industries was not available for a variety of reasons; (2) one reason is that consumers can complain to a variety of organizations about death care issues and can lodge the same complaint to more than one organization; (3) another reason is that no single organization or combination of organizations collects and compiles all complaints into one database; (4) also, each organization can have its own way of compiling and maintaining complaint information, which would confound efforts to compile and analyze aggregate complaint data; (5) although the organizations GAO contacted were able to provide some data, the number of complaints about death care was generally low compared to complaints about other categories of consumer issues; (6) FTC's Funeral Rule requires that funeral providers give consumers accurate, itemized price information and various other disclosures about funeral goods and services; (7) over the last 5 years, FTC has taken steps, including distributing compliance guides and working with the funeral home industry, to promote compliance with the Funeral Rule; (8) FTC took these steps because it was concerned about what it perceived as a relatively low level of compliance--about one-third--among funeral homes in the late 1980s; (9) FTC maintains that compliance among providers covered by the Rule has increased substantially over the years; (10) however, FTC does not have a systematic or structured process for measuring funeral homes' compliance so that overall conclusions can be drawn about their actual compliance with the Rule; (11) FTC's efforts to measure compliance have been limited to narrowly scoped test-shopping sweeps in selected areas; (12) GAO analyzed the available records of funeral homes FTC test-shopped in fiscal years 1997 and 1998; (13) GAO's analysis indicated that among the limited sample of homes visited, compliance indeed was high for the Funeral Rule's core requirement and somewhat lower for other elements of the Rule GAO reviewed; and (14) the five selected states differed in their approaches to protecting consumers who deal with funeral homes and cemeteries and make preneed arrangements.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its letter to the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 720, FTC stated that, with regard to this recommendation, it was assessing its approach toward creating a statistically valid representative sample of funeral providers. As of August 2003, FTC staff stated that they constantly evaluate the methods by which the funeral rule may be enforced through, among other things, funeral home sweeps. FTC staff reported that FTC makes decisions about its approach yearly as part of their strategic plan.
Recommendation: To help assess the overall effectiveness of FTC's Funeral Rule enforcement strategy, the Chairman of FTC should: (1) review possible approaches to determine the most cost-effective means for FTC to conduct sweeps that would result in both a more convincing sample of funeral providers and a broader analysis of the various requirements of the Funeral Rule; and (2) develop and implement a plan for carrying out such an approach in a systematic manner.
Agency Affected: Federal Trade Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FTC revised its Funeral Rule Offenders Program (FROP) handbook to include specific procedures for capturing, in detail: (1) the specific violation found during test shopping that is done as part of a funeral home sweep; and (2) a written explanation of factors considered when making decisions about actions taken on funeral homes subject to test-shopping. FTC's revised procedures also call for a new two-tiered review of the file on each funeral provider shopped--an initial review by the coordinator of each individual sweep and a final review by the program coordinator. According to FTC's Funeral Rule Coordinator, FTC has also trained regional staff responsible for conducting sweeps about the new procedures via a series of conference calls.
Recommendation: To ensure that FTC can consistently: (1) determine whether violations of the Rule's requirements occurred; and (2) document the specific reasons FTC did or did not act on such violations, the Chairman of FTC should train FTC staff on the specific standards needed for a consistent and acceptable level of documentation.

The avatar is the only good work outta these. Sorry but it's so. The rika one's just urgh. The blue background is ugly , the text is weird and the render itself has a bad quality (or it's cropped badly)
The MCR one is so random it really looks like no work at all just text and border slapped on it. So yeah. The sigs are no good this time.

Well, to be frank. It's mediocre. The color combination is good. but the BG does not suit your render. A sky BG would suit it better IMO. Second, the text. You can use the text tool but that's just a suggestion. Don't bite me, eh? :P

I'd seriously like to see how you do the text part because well, mine always looks smooth but yours doesn't...
Oh and take your time when doing sigs. Don't ever rush em.
EDIT> I think I know why your texts look very sharp and pixely. Please, if you insert your text then up there there are some settings. And the setting with a double a before it. Please be careful that the setting is not set to without(or none, can't remember what the english word was there, my PS is german D=) Set it to soften or some other but not the first. The first makes it look ugly. And KasumiGirl, when you read this here please do it as well since your texts are kinda the same. I hope this works out^^

Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
I'll do my best to lay this out, not hard but there are some things that will make it go much smoother. You will find this all easier if you have a second person.
1) There are 2 bars (Hi, I'm captain obvious) but one is for the rear and one is for the front. They also have stickers on them stating which one goes where. Make sure they face the correct direction or you will have wind noise.
2) There are rubber strips that will be attached to the tops of the rails; MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE LENGTH OF EACH STRIP! THEY ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS. THE BARS ARE NOT THE SAME LENGTH. Don't do what I did and have to start all over because I miss-matched them. The trick to these is to get the channel on the bottom locked on one side then use your thumb to push them into the bar. Leave about 3 inches at each end to have access to the screws.
3) Back the screws off about as far as they will go, if you hold the bracket in your hands as you do this you will see the mounting bracket lips drop below the bracket housing. Once you get these to drop as far as they will go you are ready to attach to the bars. Until you drop these lips down you will not be able to get it to click into the mounting track on the Jeep. I would suggest using a piece of cardboard or something to protect the panoramic sun roof (If you have it) The allen wrench flew out of my hands once and it hit the glass, nothing happened but spooked me.
4) Once you have the lips from the mounting bracket locked into place you need to make sure that the bar is centered right to left, (This is where a second person will come in handy) if it is off set one way or the other when you tighten the screws the mounting block will be pulled over. If you do this back the screw off and center rack bar so mounting blocks sit flush on the roof track when tightened down.
5) once you have it centered and tightened down push the ends of the rubber strip down at the ends and you should be all set.
Sorry I dont have pictures of the assembly process.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
Thanks for the tips. I'm still waiting for Yakima to come up with something for the factory rails, but if they don't soon this will come in handy.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process

Notwithstanding the valid concerns of some of our fellow JG'ers, I decided that the Mopar roof rails would meet my needs in terms of utility and security, and that they suited my taste the best in terms of looks. Hat tip to Mashie for sharing some detailed photos of his install with me as I was researching my options. As you will see, I also relied heavily on 81866's excellent writeup.:thumbsup:
Went out in a light DC snowfall this morning to get the rails at a local dealer. Took the WJ so that the WK2 would be warm and dry when I returned for the install. It was an enjoyable and satisfying DIY project that anyone can handle.
Commentary by photo #:
1. I threw this pic in just for fun. I had zero need for any of the tools but the hot coffee came in handy in my cold garage and I had dialed up this thread on my iPad to refer to 81866's walkthrough. Plus, I had the workmate set up from my recent repair project on the garage door extension springs detailed elsewhere. Props to JeepGarage. (oh yeah, my stepladder was a big help; not pictured)
2. The components come fully assembled (I removed the non-photogenic plastic from the 4 towers for this shot). I add my vote to the consensus that the printed "instructions" do nothing to edify the first-time installer. I benefitted from the advice here about the differing lengths of the rubber strips that fit into the top of each rail. Someone mentioned a touch of WD-40 to ease their insertion but I decided to go w/o lube. :eek: I found that alternating thumb presses from either side just above the rubber ridges worked to get them to drop into the slot.
3. Yes, the labeling makes the placement and orientation of the rails foolproof.
4. The screw that drops the mounting bracket into installation position is the one to the outboard end of the crossbar (the inboard screw tightens the crossbar to the tower itself but the assembly ships with some play in the connection to allow for positioning. I had no need to adjust that inboard screw at this step). There is no reason that I could see to back that outboard screw out any further than flush with its fixed retainer, as shown.
5. Note the rubber gasket where the tower meets the chrome roof rail. Make sure it is pressed up into place or it will interfere with a proper fit.
6. I tightened the two screws in back and forth fashion with a slight priority given to the inboard screw (the one that clamps the crossbar to the tower). I found that grasping the tower as shown allowed me to torque it into alignment as I tightened it down. I don't have the tools to measure the force I used to tighten these screws. The inboard screw will tighten to a firm stop and I used common sense on the outboard screw.
7. I chose to install the two crossbars at max spread (front to back) on the rails. I may have to adjust the rear crossbar forward depending on the ski rack that I end up with and how the ski overhang interacts with the liftgate when opened. Note that the outside view makes it look like the tower is mounted forward of its rearmost position, but if you look across you can see that it is in fact back all the way. The roof rails' black trimcaps curve in and create this illusion.
8. The inexplicable "lock" design. The lock has no other purpose than to prevent the removal of the end caps. The simple addition of a longer strip of metal would prevent access to the two critical screws even if a thief tore off the rubber strip. If my security needs increase I may have to re-engineer the "lock" to accomplish this. I was shaking my head as I took this photo. :confused:
9. I am very happy with the finished install! I prefer the aviation-style wing look to round crossbars. The Mopar setup adds an understated sportiness and completes the athletic look of the WK2 IMO. I tugged pretty vigorously on the finished product and can report that it feels like it is welded to the roof. No junk whatsoever.
I took way longer than is necessary on this project as I enjoyed my coffee and decided which steps warranted photos and comments. Questions welcomed and thanks again to our OP wjs81866. Any redundancy with his writeup is due to my OCD/overkill tendencies and is not a reflection on his effort!
Man, thanks for this thread! I was starting to question my intelligence due to being unable to install these! Mopar's instructions for every product make me want to rip my hair out..
I'm cruisin' in a 2012 Mineral Grey Jeep Grand Cherokee X Series w/ the Black Leather Interior...God, I love this ride
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
i just ordered my mopar racks last night on amazon, only $218 - much better price. thanks to this thread and others full of good install info.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
I have decided to go with these as well. Much wind noise with them and do they pop off easily enough to remove them often or is it a process?
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
Its a bit of a process as there is a key lock to deal with and a couple screws to lossen and tighten, perhaps 15 minutes.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
pretty easy install, did mine today - as for the rubber strip just slide it in when you remove one of the end caps with your keys.
tip is to really loosening the bolt on top for the latch to drop itself low enough to catch the rails.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
So I wish I did not rush the install as it was easy except I didn't realize that the bars where two differnt lengths. Long and short the rubber strip was too long so I thought it needed to be cut. AHHHHHH My bad. Now I have one too short. How do I buy a replacement part? I have looked online everywhere with no luck.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
Yakima rail grabs and 48" bars for $211from etrailer.
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
Does anyone know if the standard Thule T-slot adapters work with these cross-bars?
Re: Roof rack Cross Bar Mounting Process
Check out Rocky Road's roof rails and crossbar system ($298.) before buying the factory package. They look properly Jeep-rugged, are much sturdier, and offer a greater spread between front and rear bars.

When you are decomposing fractions into constants
1/(x-1)(x-2)^2 = A/(x-1) + B/(x-2) + C/(x-2)^2
Why do you have to repeat (x-2), instead of just putting B/(x-2)^2?
I know how to solve these types of problems, but I don't understand it conceptually.
Suppose you had to add
1/(x-1) + 1/(x-2) + 1/(x-2)^2
your common denominator would be (x-1)(x-2)^2
in the same way if you had
1/(x-1) + 1/(x-2)^2
you would still have that same common denominator of (x-1)(x-2)^2
So when you are trying to reverse the process, how do you know which way it was?
To allow for all possibilities we use the first version.
In the first case, if the 2nd term is missing, that will show up as B=0
You could solve it as you put it:
1/(x-1)(x-2)^2 = A/(x-1) + B/(x-2) + C/(x-2)^2
or as
1/(x-1)(x-2)^2 = A/(x-1)+(Bx+C)/(x-2)^2
otherwise you'd be missing one parameter of type B/(x-2) in the most general form.
Wow that makes sense. Although, how come the C/(x-2)^2 doesn't follow the rule where the numerator must be one less power than the denominator?
Shouldn't it be Cx+D/(x-2)^2?
When you have B/(x-2), it takes care of the term Bx/(x-2)^2, so you use either one of the two, preferably the former.

Passenger Terminal and Cargo BuildingsThe passenger terminal covers approximately 7,000 m2 designed to handle and process about 300 passengers in a given busy hour. The parking area in front of the building is designed to cater for 200 cars. There are three levels to the Terminal Building namely:
- Ground Floor - Passenger Concourse/Baggage Handling
- Mezzanine - Airport Staff Offices
- Second Floor - Passenger Concourse/Arrival and Departure Lounges
Both the Terminal and Cargo Buildings are virtually complete save for the completion of some interior fittings and outside landscaping works. All the major hardware components of the IT systems for the Terminal Building which include the baggage handling system, ticketing, flight information, security and customs have been installed.
Works on the construction of the car park are ongoing and are near completion.
ICAO Critical BuildingsThese buildings, which include Air Traffic Control Tower(ATC), Fire Station, Air Traffic Systems & Navigational Aids and Fuel Farm are complete and ready for commission. The ATC Tower is approximately 50m tall with the design based on the ICAO requirement to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the approach paths, the runway and all aircraft manoeuvring areas.
The fire station is approximately 1,400m2 and incorporates a secondary control room as a backup to the ATC tower. Five fire trucks and an ambulance, already procured, will make up the emergency vehicles' response teams. The remaining works are focused on landscaping, parking areas, access roads and utility connections.
Air Traffic Systems & Navigational Aids have all been installed and are ready for operation.
Fuel farm tanks with a capacity of 1.2 million litres have been installed, tested and are ready for use. SWACAA intends outsourcing the function to a private specialised contractor.
Ancillary/Support BuildingsThe ancillary buildings comprising of the Police Control Post, Warehouse and Maintenance, In-flight Catering and Police Station are at their final stage of completion.
Runway, Taxiway & ApronThe runway is 3.6 km long, 60m wide. The design is based on Code E aircraft (i.e. Boeing 747, Boeing 777 or Airbus 340).
The concrete apron covers an area of 332m by 260m. ( 86, 320m2) The design is based on handling/parking 2 Code E aircrafts (Boeing 747, Boeing 777 and Airbus 340) and 3 Code C aircrafts (J41).
All runway and taxiway lighting is now installed and the laying of the final asphalt layer for the runway are done. Site acceptance tests for airfield ground lighting have also been conducted. The apron is now substantially complete with the apron walling, adjacent to the baggage ramps, progressing well.
Access Road and UtilitiesThese comprise of the following infrastructure elements:
- Access Road
- Edible water
- Sewerage Water Systems
- Bulk Power Supply Substation
- Telecommunications System
The access road, including necessary lighting and signage is complete. The civil/structural and mechanical works for the sewerage treatment plant are complete. The Swaziland Electricity Company completed and commissioned the power supply substation. Telecommunications System has been installed.
Air Traffic SystemsThese comprise the following infrastructure elements:
- Secondary Radar
- Radio navigation systems (i.e. Instrument Landing System, Non Directional Beacon and DVOR/DME)
- Meteorological equipment
- Aerodrome Ground Lighting (AGL)
- Air Traffic Control tower equipment and facilities
- Fibre optic communication network
Legislation & ComplianceThe Swaziland Civil Aviation Authority is in full operation and most of the staff that will inspect and license Sikhuphe International Airport have been recruited and enabled basic technical training. Overall, training is ongoing at ICAO approved institutes. The design of the national airspace and production of related instrument procedures is currently underway. This includes the conducting of WGS-8 survey. The airport operator division of the Authority has started the process of applying for the aerodrome licence.
MarketingSwaziland hosted Routes Africa 2010 between the 30th of May and the 1st of June 2010. This event was attended by high profile Airport Executives and Aviation delegates from Africa, the Middle East and Europe, and was aimed at showcasing Swaziland as an attractive business & tourist destination. Sikhuphe International Airport was also exhibited in subsequent Routes Development Forums.
There has been several meetings with airline operators who have shown interest in flying to Swaziland, combining it with other neighbouring destinations. The Swaziland Civil Aviation Authority, together with other key industry players are aggressively marketing Swaziland as a destination accessible by air in an environment that meets all the ICAO safety and security standards.

Western Illinois
Lincoln, Neb. — Walter Pitchford led four Huskers in double figures, as Nebraska improved to 2-0 on the season with a 62-47 win over Western Illinois Tuesday night.
Pitchford, a 6-foot-10 sophomore, totaled a game-high 14 points, including a trip of 3-pointers, to pace the Big Red. Sophomores Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway added 13 apiece, while Leslee Smith came off the bench with 10 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes.
Petteway nearly recorded a double-double, finishing with 13 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes, as Nebraska had a 34-30 advantage on the glass and forced 15 Leatherneck turnovers.
The Huskers return to action Sunday afternoon as they take on South Carolina State. Tipoff at Pinnacle Bank Arena is set for 2 p.m.
The match will be carried on the Husker Sports Radio Network and shown online on the Big Ten Digital Network.
Pitchford and Smith keyed a decisive first-half run, as the Huskers (2-0) used a 23-7 spurt to seize momentum and build a 17-point first-half cushion. Leading 8-7 after a 7-0 WIU run, Smith came off the bench for two quick baskets and a pair of free throws to stake the Huskers a 16-9 lead. Moments later, Pitchford's conversional 3-point play started a run of eight straight points for the Florida transfer as his second 3-pointer of the half pushed the lead to 13 points at 24-11.
A 3-pointer from Jabari Sandifer stopped the run for the Leathernecks, but baskets by Benny Parker and Shavon Shields sandwiched between a Pitchford 3-pointer put the Huskers up 31-14 and the Huskers took a 19-point lead into the locker room.
Nebraska shot 56 in the first half, including 4-of-8 from 3-point range, while holding Western Illinois (0-2) to 32 percent in the half and 38 percent on the night, including 4-of-19 from long range.
Petteway carried the Huskers in a sluggish second half, scoring 10 of his 13 points in the final 20 minutes, as Nebraska cooled off after halftime. Despite shooting just 32 percent in the second half, the Huskers led by as many as 23 points on several occasions, the last being at 58-35 with 4:56 remaining after a Petteway 3-point play, and cruised to a 15-point win.

Thread: Sick & Tired
02-21-2005, 07:27 PM #1ssn01Tourist
Sick & Tired
I've always been a super healthy person. I rarely got sick ever growing up.
Now all of a sudden, tho I eat right, exercise, do everything that I should to stay healthy & havent changed anything in the past few yrs to cause this...
I've been sick now for 5 months.
I have no insurance & no doctor. I've researched til I'm blue in the face home remedies, tricks & tips & some help, others dont & some that do help only are temporary.
The doctors & hospitals here have turned me away for no insurance (despite it being illegal... yes they do it). I can't get into a dr's office because of it. The free clinics tell me to go to a real dr as there's nothing they can do.
they dont even know what's wrong.
i'm more venting right now than anything. i've tried all the avenues & either hit a brick wall or was forced away.
i'm tired of being sick all the time. i'm tired of sleeping away the days. Utter exhaustion & then I come home for chores & sometimes I can't even do those. Something as simple as loading or unloading the dishwasher makes me exhausted to think about. So I end up - being the insomniac I am - sleeping for 12 hrs or more!!!
I'm just sick & tired of being sick & tired.
no response necessary... just needed to "say" it.

Hi Sue, I can give you a few sites to go to and do some more research at. But first, a few things to consider.......
Have you had your hormones checked?
Have you had your thyroid checked?
Have you had your Iron level checked?
Are you experiencing any depression/unusual stress in your life right now?
When was the last time you did a colon cleanse?
Are you taking a B100 complex?
Are you taking a powdered Magnesium supplement?
Are you taking any supplements?
How are you cooking your food?
Do you use a cell phone?
Do you use a tanning booth?
Do you have power lines close to your bedroom?
Are you cleansing your lymph system to get rid of the toxins?
Do you work in a toxic enviornement?
Do you use toxic body care products/cleaners?
Often when a person if so tierd and sick, it is a sign that their immune system is weak and their body is breaking down at the cellular level. Some of the questions I have asked here might be related to what you are experiencing.
My own personal experiences with Dr's was not/never has been good. I had to learn to doctor myself. All the Dr's wanted to do was perscribe drugs to mask the symptoms. I wanted no part of that
I have not been sick in years now. Here are a few sites for you to go to Sue

Sue, I do not have insurance either, but if you can pay cash, why won't the doctor see you? If you live in a community with a public health department, please ask if you can make an appointment to speak with a nurse. I think they could steer you towards a medical or mental health clinic that will charge you on a sliding fee scale. Have you ever been treated for depression? I have suffered from depression at different times of my life, and many of your symtoms sure sound like some I have had. Are you still exercising? Just getting outside and going for a walk on a sunny day can improve my mood sometimes. Please keep looking for treatment.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements02-22-2005, 08:28 AM #4ssn01Tourist
I've done everything I know to do... no medical professional will see me w/out insurance.
I dont have the cash in hand to go to a Dr anyway.
Never been treated for anything since I was a child. Last time I went to a family practitioner I was 9 y/o with a deadly, but mysterious, disease... to this day no Dr has been able to identify what I had.
However, I don't know. I still exercise every day I get a chance (about 4 times a week now) and I'm just getting sicker & sicker... and it doesnt seem to matter.
I just want to feel better so I can actually sleep at night (not the day) & have energy during the day to enjoy my family...

I posted an article in Alternative Health on Adrenal Gland function. You may find it helpful Sue. I think it's a crime and shame that managed sick care of america is so money oriented. Show me th$$$$$$$$$$$02-22-2005, 09:47 AM #6ssn01Tourist
First I want to thank you personally for posting my personal favourite hobby... medicine. I've studied it broadly for many yrs & even have former family members from whom I've learned much.
It's still a past-time of mine to read up on the lastest health studies & news... I used to even subscribe to a few medical journals (tho lately w/little money to eat on... I cant afford them).
However, my personal thanks from myself & everyone for the interesting and at times even *gasp* factual information (this is nothing against you - it's a statement to our ever-changing technology & research studies that say breathing is deadly today & life saving tomorrow).
A yr or so ago when I actually had some money I gotta ton of tests done (lipid, THx, cbc, among others to have a full blood "map")... everything came out perfectly normal.
I should be under no stress... with an easy non-toxic job, a healthy house to run & clean up, healthy family w/no contagious factors. I get more than enough sleep now... if anything more than I ever have in my life, my diet is fine, exercise is normal... getting more now than I have previously... but not to exhaustion.
I shouldnt be depressed, i gotta made life!!! I mean w/little to no expense, a free roof & board, except I do some housework & am the chef *giggle*...
My schooling is going extra well... challenging, but I except & desire that (otherwise what's the point?).
Either way... I've been doing tons of research to see if anything sounds relatively familiar. Besides the lack of energy (among other things) I've had other symptoms for the past 5 months... things that are somewhat mundane and easily controlled... just occur more often that perhaps it should.
So it's just finding out what's really falling apart.
I'd be happy to know I could make it 5 yrs... let alone 10.02-22-2005, 09:51 AM #7

I'm not a medical professional, but I can tell you that you have many of the symptoms that go with depression (sleeping, exhaustion). I was depressed most of my life, and finally asked for and got help about 15 years ago. And once I agreed to take anti-depressants my life changed. Now I know what it is like to feel NORMAL.
I wonder if you are being turned away for lack of insurance because of tests the doctors want to run but won't without insurance?
I urge you to find a clinic at a university or a county health clinic that will let you pay cash. I don't think you can be turned away!
Good luck to you -- I will be thinking of you.02-22-2005, 09:57 AM #8ssn01Tourist
Thanks Jean...
I think i'll start researching around the area (even out of the county) to see if there's a cheap or free clinic.
Unfortunately I dont have that much money to go & just pay cash for anything other than a baguette of bread & pasta a couple times a week for a "quick run to the store for dinner".
And I've no other income and can't ask for financial support from other family (as I'm not considered part of my parents/siblings family any longer) & can't ask for any more money from other half as I've already taken out a huge loan as is!
just hoping life will get easier... fewer trips to the bathroom (diarrhea 4 times a day for 5mos, tossing cookies couple times a wk, exhaustion?? more than likely due to dehydration (despite my 6 cups of water a day!))02-22-2005, 12:20 PM #9

Hi Sue,
Please keep us posted. We care about you. Could some of your problems be diet related? I have a friend with a diagnosis of "Celiac Sprue" I think I spelled that right. He can not tolerate most grain, only rice and oats. Your reference to baguettes, pasta and diarrhea made me think of this.02-22-2005, 12:25 PM #10ssn01Tourist
Ya know... that ran across my mind too... so i cut it out for a little over a month... boy was that HARD!!!
but the symptoms continued... and I have since stopped all dairy (so now i'm a vegan! @ labels)... it continues.
W/headaches, nausea, restlessness at night but lethargy/fatigue during the day, diarrhea, etc etc etc.....
it might just be anxiety.
being in transition with family, work, school, my personality/growing, etc etc... maybe i feel i'm in the middle of my own "homemade" chaos.
despite feeling happy & content w/everything as is... my body isnt!02-22-2005, 02:43 PM #11

Hi: I am knitting a woman's shaker sweater with raglan sleeves - my 1st project. I am having trouble understanding the pattern. The sweater is knit bottom up, and front and back of the sweater are knitted the same (if I understand correctly).Can you please explain the following instructions with a little moredetail? Thank you
Cast off 4 sts beg next 2 rows. Next row (RS) K3, Sl1, K1, psso. pat to last 5 sts. K2tog, K3.
I understand the direction for the "next row," but I don't know what row to cast off the 4 sts.
The pattern then says work 3 rows even in pat. I know what this means, but then the pattern says to - rep last 4 rows 7 (4-1) times more. The last 4 rows would not be the same because the pattern says to work 3 rows even in pat.
> The link for the sweater pattern ishttp://www.bernat.com/data/pattern/pdf/Bernat_Camouflage007_kn_pullover.en_US.pdf> > Thank you very much!
First you BO 4 sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows; that will form a 'notch' that's the underarm. Then the next RS row k3, do a decrease, work in the shaker st pattern to the end, dec and k3. To work in the st pattern, you will work the sts as they appear in your knitting. You've just decreased 5 sts so you can't begin it with the same st you did when you had all of them. Looking at your work, you should be able to see that 'this is the next st, so it begins here'.
thank you for answering so quickly. I am so eager to continue knitting, but I still am not understanding. Are you saying, to BO 4 sts and continue with K3, Sl1, K1, psso. pat to last 5 sts. K2tog, K3 on the same row. And, then repeat this for 1 other row. I am so sorry, but I don't knowwhere I decreased 5 stitches unless you mean the 4 sts I BO at the beginning of the row and the last K2tog. I wish patterns were written for beginners.
Bo 4 sts on a RS row, continue across in the pattern st, turn. BO 4 sts on a WS row, continue across in the pattern st, turn. Now do the k3, skp on the RS row, work across in the pattern to the last 5 sts k2tog, k3. Then do a WS row, a RS row with no decs, a WS row, then do another dec rows - k3, skp, knit to last 5 sts, k2tog, k3.
What I meant about the decs was when you do the 3rd row that begins with the k3, you will have lost 5 sts at that point - 4 from the BO and 1 from the dec at the beginning of the row. So you can't start with the first st of the st pattern, you have to start it where stitch 5 would be. But it's much easier to look at your knitting and tell where you are than try and calculate it from the stitch pattern.
wow!!! I think I got it now! Thanks for simplifying things.It is so amazing how things become clearer when a little moreinstructions are added. Being a new knitter, it's just not goodto assume we know anything!!I just might have to come back as I proceed with the sleeves.Thanks a million!!!!!
After you do a couple sweaters, you understand how they're shaped. Most are generally the same - BO for the underarms, then do decs at the armhole edge to shape it. You'll get down.

CeleTalk : Puma Phone
Mar 4th
The sports brand Puma has teamed up with the manufacturer Sagem to develop the Puma Phone.
The Puma Phone is equipped with a touchscreen of 2.8 inches that can display images of 240 x 320 pixels and a camera with a resolution of 3.2 mega pixels coupled to a LED flash. This phone is also equipped with a VGA camera at the front for video conversations. The Puma Phone should also be very appreciated by the athletes with its pedometer, GPS, compass and stopwatch equipping the phone.
The Puma Phone is also equipped with a slot for SD memory card and a jack of 3.5 mm in which you can plug the earphones supplied with the phone. The device has a correct connectivity with Bluetooth 2.1 and a compatible HSPA network.
The interface of the Puma Phone is very easy to use and the menus make its functions very accessible. In addition to the usual functions found on the phones in this category, Puma Phone has a lot of fun applications like music player shaped turntable or animated Puma.
The Puma Phone is distinguished by the presence on board of a solar charger with a charging indicator, placed on the back of the camera. The charger should enhance the Li-Ion battery that provides the phone normally with an autonomy of 5 hours of talk time and 350 hours on a standby mode.
Aimed to youth and athletes , a fetish clientele of the brand Puma.
No, there not everyone is going to use Android, the operating system for Google's new generation of phones. Sagem, in association with the brand Puma, shows that other types of smartphones are possible. Indeed, the Puma Phone will not bother you with a platform for downloading applications as rich as those of terminals such as the iPhone, the Nexus One or HTC Desire. However, it offers original functions. It is indeed a smartphone mainly dedicated for the sport, and if it meets its public, it could, why not start a sportphone mode.
Among the options of the Puma Phone, as I said previously the pedometer and stopwatch are evidently intended for athletes. The first count your steps, calculates your speed and distance traveled, while the second, more conventional measure your time. The Puma Phone also incorporates several features now standard, but may show a new utility in a jogging in the woods: compass, GPS, geotag, mapping and routing.
In two terms if you are an athlete , the puma phone is the smartphone you need .

Liberty softball program continues its run of success with another playoff appearance
Five straight trips to the state quarterfinals has been both a blessing and a curse for the Liberty softball team.
After another outstanding season, the Falcons made their fifth straight trip to the Class 5A quarterfinals this year, but they also saw their season end there for the fifth straight time.
We left there holding our heads high, Liberty coach Nolan Meeuwsen said after Libertys 4-1 loss to Pendleton on May 30. I felt like we played as well as we could have. But it still stings when you lose a quarterfinal game for the (fifth) year in a row.
Meeuwsens Falcons established a lot of program firsts this season including most wins (22), most wins in a row (11) and most wins against 6A opponents (8) but they ultimately fell short of the one first that everybody wanted: a trip to the state semifinals.
The future is bright, however, with only one senior on this years roster, meaning the Falcons should be a legitimate threat to finally break through the glass ceiling next year.
A lot of good things happened this season, Meeuwsen said. Theres so much about this ballclub that has nothing to do with softball thats really cool. This is just a great group of kids. They play the game the right way and they really reinvigorated me as a coach.
I looked forward to every single day I got to spend with these kids and I think they felt the same way about each other.
And hell get to spend a lot of time with them next year, too.
Girls golf team extends streak of state tourney appearances
Speaking of streaks, Liberty extended another one this spring when the girls golf team earned its seventh consecutive berth to the Class 5A state championships.
Led by junior Stephanie Miller, who captured medalist honors at the Northwest Oregon Conference district tournament on May 13, the Falcons qualified as a team for the state tourney yet again.
Miller showed her mettle with an impressive third-place finish at state, matching the best finish in school history. Millers two-day score of 19-over-par 163 was better than every golfer except the Summit duo of Madison Odiorne and Alyssa Kerry, who swept first and second place at 158 and 161, respectively.
That performance also helped power the Falcons to a fifth-place finish as a team with a cumulative score of 790.
Libertys other scoring golfers were senior McKenzie Oster (17th, 95-90–185), freshman Netianah Northcutt (30th, 109-105–214) and sophomore Elaina Maki (41st, 118-110–228). Freshman Lorrin Santoro also competed (58th, 141-145–286).
Young basketball team makes impressive run in NWOC play
Libertys boys basketball team didnt feature a single senior starter this year, but that didnt stop the Falcons from making a run at a regular-season NWOC championship.
Led by sensational sophomores Koby Alvarado, Blake Walker and Jacob Mast who were all named to the NWOC all-star team Liberty rolled to a 17-9 overall record and a 10-4 mark in conference play, two games behind league champ Sherwood and good for a tie for third place.
That sent the Falcons to the play-in round, where they whipped Dallas 62-51 to earn a spot in the 16-team state playoff bracket. Libertys season ended with a loss to Bend with a trip to the Class 5A state tournament on the line.
The Falcons graduated two seniors and will return all five starters next year, including 6-foot-3 post Byron Greenlee, who also picked up all-NWOC honors.
Boys swim team earns another fourth-place trophy at state
Two years. Two state trophies.
Thats what the Liberty boys swim team could say for itself after a dynamite performance good enough to earn a second consecutive fourth-place trophy this past February at the Class 5A state swim meet at Mt. Hood Community College.
A week after earning its first-ever district title, Liberty made the finals an exciting session all the way through on the second day at state. Anton Loncar, Daniel Lupro, Max Schmitt and Jake Collins got the Falcons on the board with a fourth place in the 200-yard medley relay.
And then the fireworks really started.
In the 100 butterfly, the University of Denver-bound Loncar upset three-time defending champion Carlos Hunnicutt of Springfield in near meet-record time for his second-ever individual state title.
Next up, Lupro finished second in the 100 freestyle, missing a championship of his own by just .04.
Then, Loncar, the 2013 100 backstroke state champion, put in a great bid to defend his title, but Mountain Views Brandon Deckard went out fast and held off Loncar at the final wall. Both boys smashed the Class 5A meet record (50.77) and almost broke the OSAA record (50.02), with Deckard finishing in 50.03 to Loncars 50.23.
Lupro added a fourth place in the 100 breaststroke, and then helped the Falcons cap the meet with a stirring performance in the 400 free relay. The team of Decker Strom, Nathan Allison, Lupro and Loncar was sixth at the halfway point, but Lupro and Loncar swam the fifth-fastest and fastest legs of the entire race to overhaul Summit at the finish for second place.
In all, those efforts added up to 36 points for Liberty, which finished just a point behind co-runners-up Mountain View and Springfield.
Quite a day for those Falcons.

She's popularly known as the Bold & the Beautiful girl of the 20th century….she's a well known face in the bollywood industry….be it item songs…be it television shows….be it talk shows….be it as a performer…be it as a T.V. host….trust me I can go on and on….
You probably have a fair idea by now who I'm talking about….it's none other than our much talked about "controversy" queen- Rakhi Sawant.
Rakhi's Early Life
This lady was born into a Hindu Marathi family on 25th November, 1978 in Mumbai. Rakhi's father was the ACP at the Police Station in Worli and worked with Mumbai Police. Jaya Bagdi is Rakhi's mother's name. Rakesh Sawant, a film director is Rakhi's brother and Usha Sawant, a former actor is her sister. Rakhi belongs to a conservative and old-fashioned family and as expected Rakhi's father wasn't too thrilled when he got to know that his daughter was stepping into the film industry in order to establish herself professionally. In Rakhi's father's opinion, Bollywood was a disrespectful line of work.
Rakhi Sawant attended school at Goklibai High at the Vile Parle neighborhood in Mumbai. From there, she went on to the Mithibai College (Mumbai) to study further in the division of Arts.
Rakhi's Career Chart
Debut as well as breakthrough
Rakhi was just a fourteen year old the time she did her opening item number, in the year 2000, for the film "Joru ka Gulam", opposite Govinda. Sawant's biggest triumph came in 2003, when she starred in "mohabbat hai mirchi", the popular item song in the motion picture "Chura Liya Hai Tumne". This is where Rakhi proved that she wasn't the kind of person to get bogged down by failures or pressure. She had to audition more than a couple of times before she finally had the part in her kitty.
So we see that while she was still a little kid in school, Rakhi shot to fame. Suneel Darshan, a well known bollywood director, was the one who had proposed to cast Rakhi Sawant in a small dance sequence opposite Govinda.
Ever Since, Rakhi has featured in a number of bollywood films. She dint stop at that, Rakhi has more than a few Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil movies in her kitty, but she has more of an "item girl" tag attached to her. Rakhi has explored more areas in her professional life, she's also marked her presence in several videos and music albums.
Television unveiling and achievements
It was June 2006, when a high-flying Punjabi singer, Mika Singh, kissed Rakhi forcibly when she was present at the musicians birthday bash, and this turned out to be one of the biggest media hullabaloo.
A couple of months after this controversy, Rakhi appeared on one of the grandest reality shows on television by the name of "Bigg Boss" for their first season, and like she always amazes everyone, she was one of the last four contestants. As usual, in this phase of her life too, drama was the big part of her life. She became the center of attention for the dramatic brawls with her housemate in big boss.
Rakhi was a part of Nach Baliye 3, where she paired up with her former boyfriend Abhishek Avasthi. She won't disappoint you….don't worry! Well, this couple filed a case against the channel Star Plus after they lost in 2007 against Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh, who won the contest. The couple accused Star Plus of having tampered with the viewers voting systems.
In the year 2007, Sawant made her debut in the area of singing with the album that was launched under Venus Records and Tapes Pvt. Limited and was titled as "Super Girl". The video (from the album) called "Yarra Na Dil Laga" features Sawant as a super girl that saves civilians from different adversities.
In the year 2008, there was a show by the name of Yeh Hai Jalwa, which was aired on the TV channel 9X. It was a reality show, dance-based, and Rakhi won the show. In was later in 2008 (November) that Rakhi chose to appoint internet branding, senior journalist, publicist and marketing specialist Flynn Remedios for handling her branding and Media needs.
Moving onto the year 2009, Rakhi was seen in a reality show by the name of Rakhi Ka Swayamwar on Imagine TV, where she was to select a husband. Rakhi Ka Swayamwar became the chief rated show ever in history for this channel. Rakhi chose Elesh Parujanwala, based in Toronto (Canada) as her to-be life partner. These two were then seen as a couple on the TV serial Pati, Patni Aur Woh, where the two had several problems and eventually separated because they couldn't cope with their irreconcilable differences.
Rakhi has also been seen as a Judge on the reality show Rakhi Ka Insaaf, where she solved problems that a common man faces. This show was later banned from being aired after a participant committed suicide.

Rakhi is known for her outspoken and sometimes "loud" attitude, her courage, her spirit and most importantly her "controversial" image. It's up to you now, like her….love her….dislike her….the one thing you won't be able to do is ignore her!

I LOVE this punch. In fact, I love all of the slim profile border punches from EK success. They are so much easier to travel with and now I find myself using border punches on most of my LOs just because I can take them with me now. I think the Starry Night one is perfect for boy LOs. I tend not to use a lot of flowers and such on my LOs since I only have boys. So of course I lean towards stars to replace the flowers. This is the perfect way to do that with having lug around a bunch of chipboard. My next purchase will definitely be the matching Starry Night corner punch.

1949 International !/2 ton
I have a 1949 International 1/2 ton p/u and I am wanting to put a independent front suspension on it and was wondering if there is any kits out there and if not are there are any ideas how I it could be done.
I doubt if your going to find a kit for your truck simply because its not one of the more "popular" models around.
I would take some measurements off the front section of your frame (frame width, length, tire track width, etc.) and take a look at some of the more popular frame clips (Nova, Camaro etc.) to see if one might come close to fitting. Another option might be the bolt on system used in mid 70's Chevy pickups. Depending on your ingenuity you might be able to make one of those setups work.
Good luck
http://www.chevytrucks.org/tech/ifs&rearend.htm this site has all kinds of info on different suspensions. It should be just what you need...........joe
I have a old StreetRodder mag that showed them putting a S10 clip on a late 40s international. I'll see if i can dig it up/

There's no way to take the whole pin out without breaking it? I don;t want to bend it out of place incase I want to use it again. And simply unplugging the connector doesn't do anything but give you constant DRL, but no bake light.
You could have just unplugged your DRLs....

I was already at the switch, so I jut wanted to test it out.
In my experience the sensitivity of the hill assist varies from car to car. With that, some may find it more annoying (or helpful) than others. On my first car (MY11) it would only engage on fairly steep hills, which made it very helpful. On my second (MY12) it engaged on the slightest of inclines. This caused me to burn the clutch half a dozen times when I wasn't expecting it to come on.

Like learning how to not roll back while on a hill, I learned how drive with Hill Assist. Knowing its there and how it works, engaging while in gear as Demon described, is just like learning a new clutch. You just have to adapt.

It seems contradictory, to me. It seems like either someone would want full control of the driving experience (give me manual!), or they'd want the conveniences that go with a slushbox. (give me an auto!) The person that learns driving on a hill-assisted manual may have a little bit of a surprise the first time he drives my car in San Francisco.

M Roadser oil change
So the question is Oil filter first then oil or vise versa
I've seen it done both ways in changing the oil in BMWs. Guru Kris L replaces the oil before changing out the filter. I change the filter as the oil is being drained out thus saving time. The whole affair takes me 15 minutes, while those who use an oil extractor takes much longer, enough time for a few beers as you can see in his video.
The (old) oil will remain in the filter until the vacuum is broken, by loosening the lid. If you drained/refilled the crankcase, then loosened and changed the filter, you would've introduced the dirty oil into the fresh oil.
I loosen the filter as the very first thing, allowing it to drain into the crankcase, then simultaneously evacuating the crankcase by siphoning the oil out.
Upon refilling, I like to pour at least a quart/litre of oil into the filter housing, then fit the filter and continue pouring oil over it. This saturates the filter, reducing the amount of time it takes for the engine to acheive oil pressure.
As Randy says, if you want to keep about 1 quart of dirty oil in your engine, change the oil first, then the filter. I prefer to remove most of the dirty oil.
I start the extractor, change the filter, then refill the oil. Multitasking. :)
Since any oil you pour into the filter housing, drains into the crankcase as you are putting the cover back on, I don't bother.

Submitted to: BARC Poster Day
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/26/2004
Publication Date: 4/29/2004
Citation: Patel, J.R., Williams-Campbell, A.M., Liu, M.N., Solomon, M.B. 2004. Hydrodynamic pressure processing, blade tenderization, and food safety [abstract]. BARC Poster Day. Paper No. 46. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The efficacy of hydrodynamic pressure (HDP) treatment for inactivation of E. coli O157:H7 in blade tenderized beef steaks was studied. Beef steaks (N = 48) were inoculated with a five strain cocktail of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and treated with blade tenderization (BT), HDP, or combination of BT followed by HDP (BTH). Control and treated steaks were cooked to 54.4 deg C (undercooked), 62.8 deg C (medium rare), and 71.1 deg C (medium) on open-hearth Farberware grills. HDP treatment reduced E. coli O157:H7 populations by 0.2 log10 CFU/g, which was not significantly different (P<0.05) from untreated controls. Survival of E. coli O157:H7 populations were always higher in cooked BT steaks compared to HDP or BTH treated steaks cooked to corresponding temperatures. This could be due to migration of surface bacteria to the interior of the muscle thereby protecting bacteria from lethality of heat. E. coli O157:H7 populations survived in BT treated steaks cooked to 71.1 deg C and were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those BTH treated steaks cooked to 71.1 deg C which was non-detectable. Results suggest that blade tenderization of intact beef muscle could transfer surface bacteria to the interior of the muscle, which would necessitate elevated cooking temperatures (>71.1 deg C) or a treatment like HDP for inactivation of bacteria.

Stars Align for 24 Hour Plays
For the past twelve years the 24 Hour Plays project has brought together actors, writers, and directors for a charitable and creative cause, and last night the 12th annual shindig came to the American Airlines Theater in New York City's Broadway district.
Amber Heard, America Ferrera, and Olivia Wilde were all in the house for their performance, heading out to BB King's nightclub for a Montblanc-hosted after party later in the evening.
Also in attendance were Justin Long, Vanessa Hudgens, Seth Green, and Jason Biggs who all took a moment to pose for the shutterbugs before continuing on with the party.
The 24 Hour Plays event raises money for the Urban Arts Partnership, an organization to support under-privileged kids in the NYC and LA school systems.

The whole self is oversensitive, and the very inflection of a voice has enormous significance.
My nature, unhappily, is an oversensitive one, and is apt to be affected by trifles.
I know the value of correct dressing, and I am not oversensitive.
But then, I thought, all this may be because I'm oversensitive.
Neither she nor her brothers understood their oversensitive relative.
The rigorous altitude of intellect in which she was reared served as a corrective to the oversensitive quality of her imagination.
Had you been self-depreciating and oversensitive, what I said would have turned you from that field of effort.
The days that followed were full of emotion for these two people, who were perhaps always ever-serious, oversensitive.
But if ambition is oversensitive, moral indignation is ever consolatory, for it plants us on the Judgement Seat.
In her childhood she suffered continually because of this oversensitive nature.

Deadly Disease
Distemper is a contagious, incurable and often fatal disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system in dogs.
Vaccinations have drastically reduced the number of victims, but haven't gotten rid of the disease for good.
Alachua County Animal Shelter workers say they do vaccinate the animals for distemper, but they cannot test them for one reason.
"Funding," says Ray Sim, Director of the Alachua County Animal Shelter. "Its very expensive we would not and do not have the funds to test every animal that comes into our facility and to then continue the treatment associated with that."
The Alachua County Animal Shelter currently has about 166 animals in their facility, but they only have 105 kennels. They said they would love to be able to isolate some who may have the disease but they would have to put about 20 to sleep per day in order to do this and that is something they are not willing to do.

The following will do what you want
Plot[y[y[x, #], {x, 0, 33}]&/@Range[10, 150, 15]]]
and using MapThread you could say color each of the plots differently using
Plot[y[y[x,#1], {x, 0, 33}, PlotStyle->#2]&,
{Range[10, 40, 15], {Red,Blue,Black}]]]
Using this second scheme you can add individual labels for each of the plots and so on

Impact of British Visa Rules
Universities see gains in applications, despite tougher regulations, but many institutions see sharp drops from India.
Applications from overseas students have risen by up to 26 percent at some major British universities despite the government's tougher visa rules that many feared would discourage interest. But the number of Indian applications for graduate programs has fallen dramatically at several institutions.
Times Higher Education surveyed universities in the Russell Group (research universities) and Million+ (a group of institutions that relatively recently achieved university status) on their applications from non-European Union students for 2012-13. The results offer some indications of whether the government's visa tightening is making Britain less attractive to overseas students -- a subject of intense debate at the highest levels of the coalition government.
The latest immigration statistics, revealed last week, show that the government is struggling to bring down net migration into Britain, fueling worries that it could take further action in the area of student visas.
Seven Russell Group and four Million+ universities supplied figures on their total applications from non-EU students. Data for the 11 institutions show an average increase of 9.4 percent in applications from non-EU students for 2012-13, compared with the same point in the 2011-12 admissions cycle. The Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow have generated huge rises of 26 and 19 percent respectively (to 30,513 and 19,519).
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK, said: "Although application figures for this year appear to be holding firm, they do not reflect the full impact of the changes, many of which have just taken effect." She warned of concern that "persistent, negative publicity surrounding visa changes will begin to bite in the near future," which "could be hugely damaging for many universities that had planned on expanding their numbers."
At some universities, graduate applications from India have dropped dramatically, with universities blaming the closure of the post-study work visa. This could present a major problem given that India is the second-largest source of overseas students for British universities, behind China, and the largest for overseas graduates students.
At the London School of Economics, graduate applications from Indians have fallen by 20 percent, a decline mitigated by a 15 percent rise in applications from China. At Edinburgh and Glasgow, the decline in this category is about 10 percent.
In April, the government withdrew the visa option for non-EU students to stay in Britain to work for up to two years post-graduation. Now students must have offers of graduate-level jobs, paying at least £20,000 a year, prior to the expiration of their student visas if they wish to stay on to work.
Pragyat Singh, head of the University of Wolverhampton's South Asia Regional Office, noted that competitors such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand offer post-study work options, meaning that Britain "just cannot compete in this market."
He added: "It is extremely important to understand who the consumer for UK universities is. It is the rising middle class from places such as India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. They aspire to higher education in order to procure better jobs and career opportunities. They need a job overseas to pay back [the loans] as local salaries just do not match up."
