- Pick up a free book from us on World Book Night
Pssst! Want a free book? Don't be shy! For three days in April We ♥ Libraries will be able to oblige.
Monday April 23 is World Book Night – an event that aims to celebrate books and reading, and which sees thousands of volunteers sharing their love of reading by handing out free books in their neighbourhoods.
This year there are 25 titles on offer, all donated by publishers to help spread the love of reading – and the We ♥ Libraries team has been chosen as givers, as part of our mission to champion and celebrate library services in North Herts and Stevenage. We will be handing out 24 brand-new copies of Daphne du Maurier's classic psychological thriller Rebecca around Hitchin town centre between Saturday April 21 and Monday April 23.
We'll be out and about between 12pm and 3pm each day – or until that day's quota of eight books is taken off our hands. Just some of the places where you might come across us include the marketplace, in the High Street, on Windmill Hill, or around St Mary's Church.
We'll be identifiable by the pink heart stickers we'll be wearing, complete with the W♥L logo – so just ask us for a copy of Rebecca, with one available to each adult reader. Readers will be able to record their books on the World Book Night website so the organisers and other participants can share the day's successes.
Rebecca tells the tale of a dysfunctional marriage after its nameless heroine is swept off her feet on the French Riviera by a wealthy, grieving widower and owner of an idyllic English country estate. The couple marry in haste and return to what should be leisurely wedded bliss in the country – but the house and its owner share a dark secret which poisons their lives together from the moment they set foot there.
The novel was published in 1938 and made into a highly-acclaimed, Oscar-winning film by Alfred Hitchcock with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the leading roles. But people who have seen the film still have surprises in store from the novel – the plot was significantly altered to make it acceptable to the Hollywood censorship code of the day.
Of course, if you don't get one of the 24 copies, we'd strongly encourage you to pop along to your nearest library branch where you'll be able to take home all the free books your heart could desire. Another brilliant reason to join the library would be to read more works by Daphne du Maurier or to find out more about her extraordinary life.
So, come and find us, and help celebrate World Book Night. We'll look forward to meeting you!

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Problem Diagnosis (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/)
- - I have a bad knocking. (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/i-have-bad-knocking-30986/)
I have a bad knocking.
:( so I have a 02 wrx sedan, it has a VF39 turbo, sti tmic, straightpipe 2" exhaust, intake and hks SSQV BO. I went out last night and i raced a few of my friends and it was fine, on the way home i had problems. I was going about 40mph in 4th and my turbo was not in boost but spooling which is unusual for that gear, then when i put it in 3rd i could hear a knocking. The car then died and i pulled off to the side. i let it sit then started it again. the engine shook and made some noise then there was a loud knock. I turnned the car off. I think it is either a spun bearing or a bent rod or something along those lines. I havent had it check yet. Hoping to see what you guys have to say, thanks alot
Sounds like what happened when I broke a piston connecting rod.
Was the knock in sync with the rpms and sound like it was coming from the bottom of the engine? In other terms....a low/deep sounding knock.
yes im pretty sure like 90% its a spun bearing
If it sounds like what I described, then yeah. I'd bet its a bearing/rod issue. Normally if a bearing goes it can take the crank and rod with it.
awesome!! I have to find out what parts ill need.
Ask me how I know :(
Does it sound like this?
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_cV9maoCQs&feature=related]YouTube - WRX rod knock II[/ame]
Parts needed:
New motor:p
no not at all
i have a knocking noise at 3k rpms in first and second gear but not when i idol could this be the same issue as a spun bearing or bad rod? my car has never died on me but than again ive only had it for four days
i guess am facing the same issue.it was a knocking tuckling sound...and i was accelerating to hear the voice....ma car turned off and did not start for a while.later that day when i started it...the noise became loud and clear.so my question is how much or what parts was needed change
my car is making some noises also but it sounds nothing like that video. it sounds more like this @3:26...
 or this
more of a random clunk rather than the previous video with sounds like a playing card in a bicycle spoke.
this noise came out of nowhere also and i noticed my turbo got kinda hot as well. i was thinking loose timing belt = retarded timing = too rich = lots of fuel getting to the turbo and making it hot?? pretty sure a rebuild is coming up.
^Oil starvation more than likely.
[quote=pzr2874;279337]^Oil starvation more than likely.[/quote]
oil level is perfect, and after sitting at idle for about 20 minutes the temp gauge never went above normal. but when i drove it just a couple houses down the turbo itself started to smoke. it could have been coolant steam if it was starving for oil and got hot under a load .do you think a bad oil pump would still show good level on the stick? how do you test the oil pump anyway? i'm about to have the front torn down to replace the timing belt tensioner and check everything else up there.
What color was the smoke?
If anything look at your turbo/wheel.

BoBomb Tiki Mug
- 9 oz Capacity
- 5 3/8" Tall
BoBomb is our first-ever take on the classic Tiki Bob design! When Big Toe approached Tiki Farm with his design in the form of a Tiki Bob meets Hand Grenade it was ON!! Big Toe's super-creative twist on the classic Bob design was an immediate smash hit with the entire crew. We all concurred that Bob as a Hand Grenade was a unique enough concept to move this one forward from a 2-dimensional concept to a 3-dimensional Tiki mug reality! BoBomb measures 5 3/8" in height and has a 9 oz. capacity.

no on the knot today.. its way too heavy believe it or not! Im not into leaving conditioners in my hair as heat protectants, they leave it stiff and sticky. My newest love is Jane Carter Revitalizing Leave In, umm LOVE ! Before i would use Infusium23 leave in (same consistency) on damp hair and a drop (literally) of oil or Redken's Smooth down serum on each section before flat ironing (you can also try that combo)
But the last two times i straightened i use the Jane Carter alone with GREAT results.. i intended to use OnenOnly Argan oil treatment in place of the Redken (because it has cones, to protect) but i didnt need it. Idk whats in that stuff, maybe the henna but my hair was SHINY!
To maintain it i smoothed butter only on the ends every morning and night, my natural oils took care of the rest.. & it stayed lovely until i washed it. Love that Jane Carter as a heat protectant!

Your Vermont Fall Foliage Vacation
September 27, 2013 by Corey A. Edwards
Visitors who have booked a Vermont fall foliage vacation with us will be happy to hear that recent warm and sunny days, followed by cool evening temperatures, have caused the colors we all love to start appearing among the treetops!
Those photogenic oranges and yellows, as you likely know, are caused by the early fall frosts. The colder it gets at night, the quicker the trees achieve those peak autumn colors that made Vermont famous.

The FinePix Z700 EXR is the latest of Fujifilm's compact camera range to utilise the company's advanced Super CCD EXR sensor, a technology first introduced last year with the launch of the excellent FinePix F200 EXR compact. This unique sensor design has three different modes of operation offering the choice between the full resolution of a 12-megapixel sensor, superior dynamic range or improved high-ISO noise control.
The results from the F200 were impressive, and the same sensor technology has since appeared in several more of Fui's high-end models, including the brilliant S200 EXR super-zoom, and the F70 EXR and F80 EXR advanced compacts. The Z700 EXR marks the first time the EXR sensor has been used in one of Fuji's slim compact range of point-and-shoot fashion cameras, and it is combined with other advanced technology to produce what is undoubtedly one of the smartest ultra-compact cameras on the market.
The Z700 is a slim and attractive ultra-compact designed to appeal to the style-conscious buyer who is looking for a versatile but easy-to-use camera. It measures 98.1 x 59 x 20.3mm and weighs 158g fully loaded, possibly a bit on the heavy side but certainly slim enough to fit in a shirt pocket. It has a slide-down front panel concealing a 5x zoom lens equivalent to 35-175mm, while on the back it has a huge 3.5-inch touch-screen monitor with a resolution of an impressive 460,000 dots, double the resolution of most compact camera screens.
It is available in a range of four colours; silver, red, the inevitable pink and the shiny gloss black shown here. The build quality is excellent, and despite the camera's slim profile it is pleasant and comfortable to handle, although the skinny frame of the monitor and the slippery surface of the gloss finish make it hard to grip securely with sweaty fingers.
As well as the 12-megapixel EXR sensor, the 5x zoom lens and the huge high-res touch screen monitor, the Z700 also features sensor-shift image stabilisation and HD video recording, which is a pretty decent specification by any standard, however the most impressive thing about the Z700 is its price. It has the style, build quality and features of an advanced luxury compact, and from any other manufacturer one might expect to pay close to £300 for this level of style and sophistication, but Fujifilm is managing to knock these things out at £160, which is practically budget-camera level.

Men's Tennis Downs South Carolina
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - It came down to singles play for the Florida men's tennis team this afternoon as they overcame the loss in doubles and took down SEC-foe South Carolina, 4-2, at Linder Stadium at the Ring Tennis Complex.
The match proved competitive early in doubles play as South Carolina's Andrew Adams and Kyle Koch clinched the doubles point at court two with an 8-6 defeat of Florida's senior pair Mike Alford<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=22> and Florent Diep<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=27>.
Right out of doubles, Gators' Diep dominated Gamecocks' 112th-ranked Adams at No. 2 singles to even the match 1-1. Sophomore Diego Hidalgo<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=31> followed suit and took down USC's Thiago Pinheiro to win at No. 3 and lift the Gators, 2-1. South Carolina grabbed their second point at court five singles to even the score for the second time.
Jumping into the singles lineup for the first time since Feb. 1 at UCLA, freshman Elliott Orkin<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=32> battled back from a first-set loss to defeat USC's Andrew Schafer and bring the Gators within one point of the victory.
The match between the SEC rivals came down to sophomore Gordon Watson<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=29> vs. No. 55 Tsvetan Mihov on court one and freshman Maxx Lipman<http://www.gatorzone.com/tennis/men/bios.php?year=2013&player_id=33> vs. Kyle Koch on court five. Watson clinched the match for the Gators with a two-hour, three-set win in his first time playing in the No. 1 spot.
Assistant Coach Mark Merklein's Minute: "It was a tough one and we expected that today. It was hot and we were 0-1 in the SEC coming into the match, so we needed to get things in order. We worked really hard leading into this match and we knew it would be a fight all the way through and it was. It was quite a match."
"We look to build confidence and engrain a certain identity into our team. That's what we're trying to do. We're young and we're, in my mind, trying to be the toughest team in the SEC - physically, mentally and show up day-to-day to work."
"Orkin has been through a lot. He wasn't playing and all of a sudden he's put into the SEC scene in a battle down there. He fought and Maxx hung in there. Down the road, they'll be Gator greats. They're great and they're just getting better."

Several media sources have reported that Andray Blatche will re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets, after meeting with Coach Jason Kidd on the first day of the NBA Free Agency period. Blatche, who had a breakout season for the the Nets last year, had been receiving calls from several other teams including the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors. But Blatche decided to return to the team that gave him a chance last season after being released by the Washington Wizards for some off the court issues. Blatche averaged 10.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last season, while finishing 14th in the league in Player Efficiency Rating (second on the team only to Brook Lopez.)
Although Blatche was quite adamant about wanting to return to Brooklyn there was some speculation that he might jump ship for a bigger pay day but he returned for a veteran minimum 1 year, $1.4 million deal. Despite losing out on some money this season by returning to the Nets, this will end up being the best move Blatche can make. Oh, and he is still owed $15 million over the next two years by the Wizards, so he should be just fine.
By re-signing with the Nets he will have a chance to play alongside 5 All-Stars and should get significant minutes. Since he can play both the 4 and the 5 plenty of opportunities will be available for him. The Nets will also be monitoring Kevin Garnett's minutes throughout the season, meaning Blatche should see solid court time with some of the starters. Blatche will have plenty of easy opportunities at the basket as the opposing defense will have to concentrate on the likes of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Brook Lopez. Defensively, look for Blatche to improve also. Garnett has made it very clear in the past that he doesn't tolerate players that do not give full effort on both ends of the court and Blatche will learn a lot from one of the best big men to ever play.
Also, expect the Nets to get a lot of national TV attention this season, especially if they make a long playoff run like many suspect they will. Blatche will have great exposure heading into a huge free agency season for him. Next summer, if he has a good season, he will have a number of suitors knocking on his door with big contracts in hand. Or if he wants to stay in Brooklyn, the Nets will have his Bird rights and can give him more than the veteran minimum.
For the Nets, they get a good scoring big man off the bench that gives them versatility at the 4 and the 5. If Blatche, is as productive as he was last season he will be an absolute steal for $1.4 million. He provides a very deep frontcourt for the Nets, who will have Blatche, Reggie Evans, Mason Plumlee and Mirza Teletovic vying for time off the bench. The combination of scoring, rebounding and shooting big men off the bench will provide for a number of different looks for Kidd to bring in the game at various stretches.
The most important thing that Blatche brings is depth to a team that had its bench issues last season. For a team with, arguably, the best overall starting lineup in basketball they will need to have productive minutes from their role players if they want to make a long run. Blatche, newly acquired Jason Terry and, potentially, 3-point specialist free agent Kyle Korver will be the keys to their bench scoring.
As was apparent in the playoffs this season a bench can win or lose a team a series. The Indiana Pacers really struggled against the Miami Heat when their bench unit came on the court and that came back to haunt them. In the Finals, the San Antonio Spurs received great production from role players Danny Green, Gary Neal and Boris Diaw when stars Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili struggled early in the series. However, Miami's production from players like Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Norris Cole and Chris "Birdman" Andersen ended up being too much, along with the "Big 3" for the Spurs to handle.
General Manager Billy King understands how important depth will be to an aging team and bringing back Blatche might be the key move for the Brooklyn Nets this offseason.Tags: Andray Blatche, Basketball, Billy King, Brook Lopez, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nets, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, NBA, NBA Free Agency, Paul Pierce, San Antonio Spurs

In a way, the original Borderlands was shackled by its aesthetic. For all of the wacky violence and seemingly infinite combinations of guns, the dull, dusty browns of post apocalyptic Pandora quickly lost their appeal, and the identikit goons you chopped down blurred into a homogenous singular. That's something that the inevitable sequel seeks to put right, and from the demo level we saw at Rezzed, it succeeds with aplomb.
Playing a mission from late on in the story, with characters levelled up to 25, we're thrown into a glittering city square, all lush green trees and shiny walkways. The cel-shaded style from the first game remains, but it's clear that the engine is pushing the boat out further, and that the designers have been given much wider scope to explore the different possibilities Pandora has to offer.
The mission starts off with acts of petty vandalism, but soon escalates into a pitched battle between the four stars of the game, and the security forces that patrol the raised platforms and plazas that make up the intriguingly organic structure. There are choke points and sniping vantage points, all worked into a level that never feels like it's been built solely to cater for a gunfight, but manages to fill the role perfectly.
All four characters are player controlled, and the HUD keeps you well informed of their position. The four different disciplines are the same as in the last game, with a few new twists, and they compliment each other well, with their roles in the ensuing chaos defined by the talents and abilities they posses.
That chaos is even meatier than it was in Borderlands. Guns recoil with a delicious snap, and the game sticks to RPG traditions by showering numbers out of enemies as you pepper them with bullets. It's glorious to behold, as powers are thrown, turrets are built, and an angry hairy midget stomps around with a rocket launcher and machine gun blasting holes in the armoury of a variety of drones, walkers, and cutthroat troopers.
Working as a team is essential, and whilst the "last stand" mechanic from the previous game, which sees you resurrected if you manage to kill another enemy before a time bar runs out, is still present, a helping hand from a comrade is always welcome.
As the fire fight plays out, the suns of Pandora set and night breaks, bringing a palpable shift in atmosphere. It's clear that Gearbox have attempted to right the wrongs of their first, fantastic but flawed attempt at mashing together the shooter and the RPG. The world feels more solid, the story fed out in snatches of dialogue between the characters rather than the reams of text that filled the first.
Worth the wait? The shooting at the core of the experience is certainly a more refined beast, the loot less incessant and the weaponry just as excessive. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether Gearbox can create a world varied enough to justify the thirty plus hour narrative that the game boasts. On this evidence, they're certainly on the right tracks.

What an amazing location. The apartment is very well equipped, clean and the owners are very friendly. Would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone. Close to Fussen for King Ludwigs Castles and only a couple of hours from Munich. We had a great holiday here and can't wait to return.
Great location, quiet and stunning scenery
Very nice hosts
We visited it again
We had a fantastic week staying at Knittel. We were made to feel very welcome and the owners tried very hard to communicate with us even though we don't speak German and they don't speak English. The apartment is decorated to a very high standard and felt like a true home from home whilst we were there. The balcony is a lovely place to relax and the surroundings are very beautiful.

This is not the first time I have discussed media coverage of 'Latin' Converts to Islam. In fact, I have written about how they are depicted in terms of their relationships, the ways in which Indigenous converts from Latin America puzzle the media, and how 'Latina' women are said to be the new face of Islam.

CatSpeak : how to learn it, speak it, and use it to have a happy, healthy,… (edition 2001)
by Bashkim Dibra, Elizabeth Randolph, José Dennis (Illustrator)
Work details
Catspeak:: How to Communicate with Cats by Learning Their Secret Language by Bash Dibra
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Read during Winter 2002/2003
I didn't learn all I expected to from this book on cat behaviour but I liked that the little chirping sounds my cat makes to me are the sounds a mother cat makes to her kittens and she is treating me as such. Hmmmm.
Cat Speak had all the worst qualities of a really bad self-help book, presenting advice that was either common sense dressed up in pseudo-science or which sounded good, but wasn't. The author begins by talking about how famous he is for his work with dogs, but he's really always loved cats too (honest!). The self-aggrandizement was pretty annoying and read more like an ad than a passage by a cat lover. Things only got worse from there, starting with some gimmicky lists such as "The Seven Instinctive Feline Behaviors" and the "Six Special Feline Abilities and Idiosyncrasies". The advice for understanding your cats mood was mostly of the obvious type - at least, no one in my family has ever had trouble telling when our cat is angry, sad, or hungry without someone to explain what different ear angles mean. If a cat wants you to understand how it's feeling, they're pretty good at letting you know. Where the book really went wrong was when it tried to give scientific explanations for cat behavior. One mistake they made is referring to cats as nocturnal, when they are actually crepuscular (awake at dawn and dusk). While this might seem nit-picky and unimportant, as someone about to adopt a cat it would be nice to know that they might (like my cat Maggie) be really wild as you're going to bed and want lots of attention in the morning - but not all night. In a lot of cases, I just felt like the author was trying to do too much in too little space. He went into just enough detail to get it wrong and not enough detail to explain cat behavior accurately.
Well, let's see. It . . . parts of it are about cats . . . and . . . um . . . there are useful tables on pages 133 and 138 . . . and . . . that's about it, really, for those who have ever crossed paths with a cat. Did I mention the tables on pages 133 and 138? Those were good.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451207092, Paperback)Cats are intelligent and reasonable animals, capable of enormous affection and loyalty and willing to cooperate with their owners-if asked to do so in a polite manner. With dogs, one commands; with cats, one suggests. Knowing which "suggestions" to make, and how to make them, is the key.
In CatSpeak, Bash Dibra shows cat owners how to do the previously unthinkable: train their cats! Understanding feline body language, facial expressions, vocal signals, and the instinctive behaviors that make up CatSpeak, the unique language of cats, is vital to the endeavor. So are the three P's: patience, persistence, and praise. The author takes the reader step-by-step in forming a new, mutually satisfying human-feline relationship.
With easy-to-follow instructions and complete, up-to-the-minute information, CatSpeak provides everything you need to know to have a happy, healthy, well-mannered cat.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:46 -0400)
Discusses cat behavior and cat training, and provides information about such topics as breeds, socialization, bringing a cat home, verinarians, food, exercise, facial expressions, and cat tricks.

May 13, 2011
By Cameron Harris, Assistant Media Relations Director
BATON ROUGE, La. - The Tennessee baseball team managed just four hits off of LSU starting pitcher Kevin Gausman as he fired a complete-game shutout to lead the Tigers to a 9-0, series-opening victory on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
"(Gausman) did a good job," UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh said. "We had our chances with two on in the third inning, but we made two baserunning mistakes. In the fourth inning, it was a 0-0 game and we had runners on second and third with one out and we didn't score. It seemed like we were kind of flat after that. They scored multiple runs a couple of times and we started trying to do too much. We didn't have a lot of good at-bats at the end of the game.
"We have to come out harder tomorrow. Last week, (LSU) won the Friday night game by a similar score at Alabama and were shut out the next two games. A couple of years ago when they won the national championship, we were here and lost the first game, 18-3, before coming back to beat them the next two days. We were the only team to beat them in a series that whole year, so it is definitely possible. The score of the game doesn't really factor in. We just have to have a different mindset coming out tomorrow. It's not football where you have a week to think about it. We have to come back tomorrow ready to play."
Senior Josh Liles accounted for half of the team's hits with a double and a single to push his career total to 195. Fellow classmate Matt Duffy and junior Charley Thurber had UT's other two hits. For Thurber, his single came in his first at-bat since April 16 at Alabama when he suffered a wrist injury.
Gausman struck out seven in his nine innings of work to improve to 4-6 on the season, while Volunteer junior Steven Gruver fell to 4-7 with the loss. Freshmen Carter Watson and Jon Reed each struck out one in an inning of relief for the Big Orange.
The Tigers opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth, using three straight hits to start the frame to bring home two runs. A suicide squeeze by LSU right-fielder Alex Edward three batters later made it 3-0 in favor of the home team.
After a scoreless fifth, LSU tacked on five more runs in the fifth and another in the seventh to account for the final score. Gausman retired the last 13 Tennessee hitters to close out the game.
Game two between Tennessee and LSU will take place at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon and will be televised live on CSS and online at ESPN3.com. UT sophomore right-hander Nick Blount (1-3, 5.79) will square off with Tiger freshman Kurt McCune (6-3, 3.51). The series finale is set or 2 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Do you know where your bones have been?
Until a few weeks ago, Lakeside resident Tom Adams didn't. That's when the mail brought a letter telling him that a piece of bone used in a surgery to fuse two vertebrae in his spine had come from a donor, and that it had not been properly screened for viruses.
"I was a little startled it was there," says Adams, who has had 14 surgeries to repair damaged discs in his back. "I've always shied away from that sort of thing."
A spokesperson for Missoula-based Neurological Associates, which performed the surgery, was unavailable for comment. According to Adams, Neurological Associates hadn't told him that they'd used donated bone.
Turns out the donor didn't know what was going on either. The transplanted bone, Adams says he was informed by Neurological Associates' Dr. Carter Beck, had been stolen.
On Feb. 23, a district attorney in Brooklyn, N.Y., indicted Michael Mastromarino, a former oral surgeon, and Joseph Nicelli, a funeral home owner, for stealing tissue from corpses without consent.
Mastromarino and Nicelli sold the parts through their company, BioMedical Tissue Services. That company supplied the bone that ended up in Adams' body.
After removing bone from a corpse, Mastromarino and Nicelli's company allegedly replaced it with PVC piping. Also, according to the indictment, they falsified death certificates to change ages and causes of death.
They also allegedly failed to screen the body parts for viruses, which is why 68-year-old Adams is now being tested for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis. Little is known about the person from whose body Adams got his bone. The parts, Adams says Dr. Beck told him, are believed to have come from a Florida morgue.
It will be a few weeks until Adams knows the results of his tests, and what other surprises his transplanted bone might hold. Adams, who says he has flatlined three times in his life due to multiple health problems, isn't afraid to find out.
"I've lost my fear of death," he says.

I would show it just to avoid a headache.
This is a discussion on CCW, Security Guard requests license? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have been wondering, I know if a LEO asks for your CCW license you should show it but what if you are asked by ...
I have been wondering, I know if a LEO asks for your CCW license you should show it but what if you are asked by a security guard at the mall or a big box store? Do you produce your license or simply say that you are licensed and there is no requirement to show it, or is there?
I think I may show it so as to not cause this guard to follow me around while the LEO's are on the way and just cause more grief than necessary, what are your thoughts?

I would show it just to avoid a headache.
I would think we need to know why the security guard is asking you for your CCW. If there was an incident I would wait for the police. Otherwise how does the security guard know if you are concealed.

I was thinking along the lines of an accidental printing and a sharp Guard or something along those lines, purely hypothetical.
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
Private property laws vary from state to state; the Security Officer/Guard/ETC has every legal right to ask to see your permit; you have every legal right not to show it... They also have the legal right to instruct you to leave their property at that very moment of you giving them a reason to think something isn't right...
With that said, whether or not you do have it you will more than likely be asked to leave the property for making the security's job un-needingly harder (Which typically means you were giving the S.O. a lip full); not only that, but if you refuse to show your permit, and they know you're carrying there are two things that come to mind; 1. You aren't good at CCW... 2. When they call the PD, the radio will come across that there is a subject with an unbrandished weapon refusing to work with security, and he refuses to leave (Criminal Trepassing... In other words, PD is going to be in a hurry to the call).
Long story short, you don't have to, but to avoid any sort of issue, it'd be much easier to show them.

i can tell you how it works in PA. you are under NO obligation to show any sort of ID to store security. they are corporate security, not civil law enforcement. if a security guard asks, or demands, to see your ID, you can tell him where to put his demands. in fact, if a police officer stops you on the street, and demands your ID, you can refuse. you might get hassled, but, under PA state law, LEOs need reasonable suspicion to ask for ID. in other words, walking down the street is not grounds for a Terry stop. again, this is PA; i don't know how it works in TX.
Using wisdom and showing respect will always get you a lot further. And if you think about it, their job has to suck.
Life is too short, stop to smell the roses and don't let anyone take it away from you!
Personally, I'd show it to him. No harm, no foul and I'd be glad to know that I'd inadvertantly been printing so I could correct it.
I don't show my ccw to anyone unless they are a police officer. I am not required to by law, so it's just not going to happen.
legally......cops ,yes...security,no..although if the guys is respectfull and polite I will.He won't disarm me however...if that's his plan,call the cops.Or if the guy's an a-hole wanna be.....call a cop,I'll wait.I have never been in this situation,and hope never to be.I pocket carry mostly,so unless the guys is rubbing up against me,he can't tell....and if he IS rubbing up against me,he's got more issues than if I'm carrying.
"Just because I'm paranoid,doesn't mean they're NOT after me...."
I carry everywhere it is legal to do so. How would anyone know you were armed unless you told them so. Don't ask Don't tell
Why do I carry a Gun? Because I can't carry a Cop
One good reason to be apprehensive about showing ID to any security officer is very simply that some of them are in truth real 'wing ding' wannabe's!
Frankly, I'd play it by ear, and it would most strongly depend on the attitude and demeanor of the person requesting....that said...no SO in Florida has ANY right to demand ID. Further, one really doesn't know if that guard is licensed, has had a background check, or for that matter is really very stable...and I have seen and delt with those that were all of those!
I most clearly remember one that pulled an aggravated assault on a couple dropping off metal at a salvage yard after hours, holding them at gun point and telling them that the law "gave him the right to shoot them"! He went to the crossbar immediately. I remember one fool that worked for the now defunct J.M. Fields that accosted me as I was leaving the store with two surplus rifles I'd just purchased screaming at me to "get the bolts open"........He just about turned blue when I badged him and told him in no uncertain terms that he was precisely one sentence away from a very unwelcome ride!...........
Some are just trying to do an honest job, BUT there are, as I said, some real characters that get attracted to that sort of job and they're usually the ones that could not be hired as a LEO.
If the matter becomes an issue, then the best recourse to to request LE at the scene.
I always had a joy in my last job when it came to training the high-end contracts simply because I didn't have to focus on basic training, and I could focus on how the private security sector differed from law enforcement, and what advantages we had; not only that, but I would also get to learn from past experiences from the S.O.'s when they were employed in law enforcement (Some swat, very interesting people) and rarely, body guards from our high end contracts. Fun times
I sure don't miss training the low-end contracts though; I'd intentially, "over train" security officers in the low-end contracts. Between wanting to impress the clients, and making sure the guys and gals wouldn't tarnish the companies name; it was an uphill battle simply because many were wanting to get into law enforcement (They are fun to train if they are willing to learn) and then THOSE types where you know they won't make it more than six months. I hated dealing with those types...
Beretta 92FS
Personally, even hypothetically--I don't see how we ever got to point A to begin with. If a security guard (a member of the general public such as I in his capacity) is asking to see my ID or permit, then something has gone very wrong or they have x-ray vision. If I passed through some metal detector and they are alerted to me, and I'm legally carrying and approached by them and asked to do so, I will produce my documentation and state I'm armed. Nobody at this point is allowed to ask me to either reveal, or relinquish my firearm unto them until a full fledged law enforcement officer is on the scene with a warrant or probable cause. Once I've made that attempt to cooperate with reasonable demands and they decide to overstep their bounds, I'd be taking future legal action against the individuals and/or the establishment which employs them after filing a formal complaint with the local jurisdiction of law enforcement.

What repairing methods are most suitable?
2 Attachment(s)
Good day,
I am a novice to brickwork, so I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to fix some cracks on my brick wall.
I discovered a couple of huge cracks in between bricks on one of the brick walls surrounding my garden.
I have taken a few measurements, and it seems like that the upper section of the wall above the crack has not moved at all, but the bottom part below the crack has leaned inwards. (Please see attached photograph). Im suspecting that it might be caused by movement of the ground.
I am worried that the brick wall might collapse. In this case, should I get the wall repaired or replaced? What repairing methods are most suitable?
You can certainly tuck point the cracks with mortar mix, but that's a band aid fix for a bigger problem. Your wall has some sort of settlement problem that is probably based on the footing underneath it. Or, the earth that it is retaining is pushing against it due to lack of drainage.

Nicolas Gaitan is set to become the latest player to join Louis van Gaal's Manchester United revolution.
According to Portuguese newspaper Record, the Argentinian midfielder is in talks with United and incoming manager Van Gaal will have the final say over whether he wants to sign the 26-year-old or not.
The paper also claims that the forgotten man of United's midfield, Bebe, could be used as a makeweight in the deal.
Bebe was regarded as a a flop at Old Trafford, making only two league appearances since he joined from Vitoria de Guimaraes, but has impressed at Portuguese top flight Pacos de Ferreira on loan last season.
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
1/19 Arturo Vidal
The Juventus midfielder is among United's top targets this summer, particularly after impressing for Chile at the World Cup. Having helped his current team secure the Serie A title, Juventus aren't keen on letting him go.
Getty Images
2/19 Marco Reus
Rumoured to be near the top of United's target list, a possible swap deal involving cash and Shinji Kagawa has been mentioned. The Borussia Dortmund player would not be a cheap acquisition, especially given his recent declaration that he wants to stay at Dortmund next season
Getty Images
3/19 Arda Turan
Former manager David Moyes had been seen watching Turan, though his dismissal put a doubt over whether United were still interested. The winger's agent claims an offer has been made, so is the Atletico Madrid winger on his way to Old Trafford?
Getty Images
4/19 Arjen Robben
The Bayern Munich winger has said Van Gaal has offered him a place at Old Trafford if he wants it. Currently he's happy to stay where he is, but things can quickly change.
5/19 Claudio Marchisio
With Paul Pogba highly unlikely to be prised away from Juventus, United's attention could turn to team-mate Claudio Marchisio. The Italian international would provide some class and experience.
6/19 Mats Hummels
With defensive reinforcements high on United's list of priorities, Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels has unsurprisingly been linked with a move to Old Trafford. The German has been earmarked as the ideal replacement for the now-departed Rio Ferdinand and after his impressive showing at the World Cup, he's even more desirable.
7/19 Raphael Varane
Raphael Varane has already snubbed United once in his career, opting instead to join Real Madrid. It would surely take a big offer to prise the classy defender away now.
8/19 Seamus Coleman
Reportedly already the subject of a £15m bid, Seamus Coleman could be the man being lined up as the answer to United's problems at right-back.
9/19 William Carvalho
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has reportedly been watched 15 times by Manchester United, although the £29m asking price could prove a stumbling block. The Portugal international has also been linked with Arsenal.
Getty Images
10/19 Xherdan Shaqiri
Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri has struggled to force his way into the first team at the Allianz Arena and could be a target for United as well as rivals Liverpool. His impressive displays for Switzerland this summer could make it harder to prise him away.
11/19 Alex Song
Barcelona are understood to be ready to let the former Arsenal player leave this summer. Could provide some strength to United's midfield. Could also bring embarrassment judging by his behaviour at the World Cup.
12/19 Fabio Coentrao
Supposedly came within hours of signing in January, the Portuguese left back could be brought in to provide back-up to Luke Shaw.
13/19 Julian Draxler
A long time Arsenal target, United are reportedly interested in pinching the young German with a bumper offer. Seems unlikely though. Arsenal also strongly interested.
14/19 Sami Khedira
The Germany international is reportedly being pursued by a host of sides, and United might be wise to get in the mix as they look to add some quality to a fairly feeble looking midfield. Real Madrid appear open to letting him go with the 27-year-old having just one year left on his contract. Arsenal and Chelsea are among the others keen on signing the World Cup winner.
15/19 Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan hitman would prove pricey and tricky to snatch away from PSG and it seems unlikely United have enough to offer him.
16/19 Luciano Vietto
The Racing Club youngster has been impressing in Argentina for some time although a move directly to United would be something of a surprise.
17/19 Santiago Arias
Should a move for Seamus Coleman fail, PSV defender Arias is reportedly being lined up by United. Played for Colombia throughout the group stage of the World Cup.
18/19 Miralem Pjanic
Rumoured to part of a joint bid including teammate Benatia, the Bosnian midfielder is reportedly another on United's large hit list.
19/19 Kevin Strootman
Van Gaal knows Strootman well from working with him in the Netherlands set-up and has indicated he is interested. Roma are reluctant to sell whilst his recovery from a knee injury may prove a stumbling block.
United have already signed Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilabo and Luke Shaw from Southampton this summer.Reuse content

Date submitted: September 08, 2011
- Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.
- In view of the latest Affordable Care & Health Reform legislation, how will keeping weak national and individual state-by-state lack of full recognition for autonomous practice in primary care for "non-physician" providers such as APRNs impact the exponential demand for increased access to care?
By restricting APRNs of full autonomous practice privileges, is cost effective quality access to care being restricted for Americans?
Can AHRQ support research for evidence-based solutions to help remedy this huge barrier to care for Americans?
- Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)
- yes
- If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:
- Comparison of access to quality health care in states that do not have statutory limitations to autonomous scope of practice for Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs)versus states that do have statutory limitations for autonomous scope of practice of APRNs. Do state limitations to autonomous scope of practice for primary care APRNs impact in access to quality health care for Americans? Are these types of limitations posing as barriers to quality access of care for Americans, and if so, what are some of these barriers and what are some strategies derived to use in overcoming any barriers identified in the research?
- What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)
- Primary care patients in the U.S. with or without insurance; especially those without regular care and those with chronic diseases such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, etc.
- Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
- Consideration may apply to racial & ethnic groups impacted the most by these conditions; e.g., African-Americans, Latinos and/or Native Americans.
- Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)
- Decreased levels for weight at or below the 50 percentile, BMI, lipids, hemoglobin A1c levels; attaining blood pressure readings at or below 120/80, etc.
- Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.
- Evidence pointing to poor state or federal legislation that could lead to worse healthcare outcomes or worse yet eventual increases in fatalities related to policies that limit access to care.
Appropriateness for EHC Program
- Does your question include a health care drug, intervention, device, or technology available (or likely to be available) in the U.S.?
- yes
- Which priority area(s) and population(s) does this topic apply to? (check all that apply)
- EHC Priority Conditions (updated in 2008)
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease, including stroke and hypertension
- Depression and other mental health disorders
- Diabetes mellitus
- Infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS

- Describe why this topic is important.
- There is a documented lack of primary care providers for the next decades, in proportion to the documented needs of over 45 million Americans needing health insurance coverage and care.
APRNs have a consistent and documented pattern of attaining nationally set parameters for quality of care outcomes, either equal to or surpassing in many areas, the care provided by other primary care providers such as physicians. Many exceptional APRNs have also demonstrated superior levels of care through the same measures asked of physicians but through independent nurse-managed health centers, achieving NCQA recognition (at Level 3) for Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) requirements.
There is no evidence of substandard quality of care or validity of a dangerous assumption of risks being imposed on the care of Americans by enabling APRNs to practice to their fullest extent of their capabilities (as recommended by the IOM's 2010 Report on the Future of Nursing).
- What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
- We are working locally with some of the IOM 2010 recommendations & representatives related to nurse practice concerns in order to achieve change that may impact on the quality of care and access for Americans. Some recommendations may be made to respective Governors and policy makers for needed changes to current laws an/or regulations. Positive outcomes for the APRNs derived from this type of research will undoubtedly impact interested physician providers and most certainly, the American patient.
- Does your question represent uncertainty for clinicians and/or policy-makers? (For example, variations in clinical care, controversy in what constitutes appropriate clinical care, or a policy decision.)
- yes
- If yes, please explain:
- Yes, all the above examples are potential barriers to health care; thus need attention from providers AND policy makers at local, state and national levels.
Potential Impact
- How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?
- It will help in championing these complex issues for a greater and unbiased view in order to be shared with policy makers and leaders in health care who may still be reticent to considering overdue revisions to health policy and law(s). Ultimately, the patients will reap the benefits of better increased access to top quality of care.
- Describe the timeframe in which an answer to your question is needed.
- The sooner the better, but before new policies and laws (or amendments or back-peddling on health care reform) is pushed without more of the facts and implications being readily available for those decision-makers.
- Describe any health disparities, inequities, or impact on vulnerable populations your question applies to.
- Undoubtedly, Americans with OR without health insurance coverage (or the most vulnerable due to poverty or lower SES) will be adversely impacted.
