The statutory minimum age of marriage in the Slovak Republic is 18 years for both sexes, although courts may exceptionally allow minors over 16 years to enter into marriage.[1]In regard to early marriage, the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic reported 1,024 females and 420 males under 19 years of age entered into marriage for the first time in 2012,[2]while latest figures from the United Nations (UN) indicate that 1.0% of females aged 15-19 were married, divorced or widowed in 2010, compared to 0.2% of males in that same age range.[3] Although the adolescent fertility rate is gradually dropping (17.0 in 2013,[4]compared to 21.6 in 2012[5]), pregnancies among girls aged 14 years and under peaked in 2012, with the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic reporting 48 births that year, the highest number on record since 2002.[6]
Slovakian law provides for joint parental authority during marriage, and for both spouses to take care of family needs, including household needs, according to their skills, capabilities and financial situation.[7] Family matters are jointly decided by both spouses, and each spouse can represent the other in ordinary family matters, such as financial transactions.[8]
In the case of divorce, case child custody and maintenance is determined by the court in the best interest of the child, although parents can submit an agreement regulating the exercise of parental responsibility to the court for approval.[9] In deciding on the child's custody, the court takes into special consideration the emotional ties, development needs and future educational environment of the child.[10] According to the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, 10 948 divorces were pronounced in 2012; 61.8% of couples who divorced that year had at least one under-aged child; and couples who divorced that year had been married for 14.9 years on average.[11]
Slovakian law provides for equal inheritance rights for wives and daughters, as the Civil Code makes no gender distinction regarding the rights of the spouse and children of the deceased.[12]
Statistics and surveys illustrate a gender gap in relation to paid and domestic work in Slovakian families. Husbands are indeed statistically more economically active than their wives, with the UN reporting respective overall employment rates of 61.7% and 52.4% in 2011, and especially high gender gaps in the 15-24 and 25-29 year old age groups (61.0% and 90.4% of husbands aged 15-24 and 25-49 were respectively employed in 2011, compared to 23.0% and 67.8% of wives in those age groups).[13] Moreover, only 5.7% of mothers with children younger than 14 years of age worked over 45 hours a week in 2008, compared to 25.9% of fathers.[14] Gender gaps are also apparent in domestic work, with Slovakian women reportedly spending on average 13.6 more hours than men on weekly housework, in 2005.[15]
Women and men have equal rights to initiate divorce. [16]

(2008) [16] Family Act (Act No. 36/2005 Coll.), s.28(2) and s.19(1)
Slovak law criminalises rape, sexual violence, sexual abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, and procuring and soliciting prostitution.[17]
While domestic violence is not explicitly named in the Code, s.208 refers to "battering a close person and a person entrusted in one's care", while s.127 specifies that "a person who lives or lived with the perpetrator in a shared household" is included as a "close person", and "a person entrusted into one's care". S.208 of the Code therefore covers domestic violence, and contains a very long and specific list of prohibited forms of physical and mental suffering, including "repeated and unjustified denial of food, rest or sleep, or denial of necessary personal care, basic clothing, elementary hygiene, health care, housing, upbringing or education".
Rape is defined by the Criminal Code as the act of using violence, or threatening to use imminent violence, to force a woman to have sexual intercourse, or taking advantage of her helplessness to commit such an act.[18]Rape is therefore necessarily perpetrated against female victims, and thus distinguished from sexual violence, which can be directed towards males and females.[19]Marital/spousal rape and the rape of pregnant women are, inter alia, aggravated forms of rape,[20] and the Code specifies that a helpless person shall mean a person who owing to age, health, circumstances of the offence or circumstances on the offender's side, had no chance of effectively defending the attack.[21]
Sexual harassment, on the other hand, is not criminalised under Slovakian law. However, the 2004 Anti-discrimination Act[22] includes a specific reference to sexual harassment since 2008 under article 1 s.2a(5): "Sexual harassment shall mean verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature whose intention or consequence is or may be a violation of a person's dignity and which creates an intimidating, degrading, disrespectful, hostile or offensive environment." A recent report by the European Commission indicates that the Slovak Republic was reluctant to amend its labour legislation due to "the unwillingness to accept the problem of discrimination on the grounds of sex and opinions interpreting sexual harassment as a private affair of the directly involved parties", and that the change only occurred to comply with European Union (EU) harmonisation requirements, although the current definition is not fully compatible with EU directives.[23] The report also indicates that the possibility for the claimant to shift the burden of proof onto the defendant is only stipulated in the Anti-discrimination Act, and not in the Slovakian Code of Civil Procedure, thereby making it hard for victims of discrimination to succeed in court proceedings due to lack of evidence.
Despite this legal framework and the adoption of two successive National Action Plans for the Prevention and Elimination of Violence Against Women for the periods 2005-08 and 2009-12, violence against women remains a concern in the Slovak Republic. As of September 2013, Slovakian authorities had reportedly recorded 356 cases of sexual abuse, 233 cases of domestic violence, 64 reports of rape, and 51 cases of sexual violence that year alone.[24] Moreover, according to an EU-wide survey on violence against women in 2012, 23% of Slovakian women had experienced intimate physical and/or sexual violence by their current partner or previous partner (7.0% in the last 12 months) ; 22.0% had experienced non-partner physical and/or sexual violence (5.0% in the last 12 months); 34.0% had experienced intimate psychological violence by their current partner and 46.0% by their previous partner; 16.0% had been stalked (6.0% in the last 12 months); 36.0% indicated having experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence in their childhood; 32.0% were aware of domestic violence in their circle of friends and family; and 28.0% were aware of domestic violence in their work environment.[25] There is no available data on the percentage of women who agree that wife beating is justified under certain circumstances.[26]
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) expressed concern over the high rate of violence against women and girls in the Slovak Republic,[27]with both committees urging the country to provide sufficient and adequate shelters for female victims of violence, to sensitise authorities to all forms of violence against women, and to raise public awareness of violence against women. The CEDAW, the CAT, and the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) have also expressed concern over trafficking of women and children for sexual and other exploitive purposes, as recently as 2012 (CESCR).[28]
Despite these recommendations, Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE) NGO reported in 2010 that only five shelters were specifically set up to support female victims of domestic violence and their children, and that 459 shelter places were missing to reach the target number recommended by the European Parliament.[29]WAVE also reported the absence of any free-of-charge 24 hour helpline for female survivors of violence, and stated that no budget had been allocated to the Action Plan for the Prevention and Elimination of Violence Against Women for the periods 200912 (the same remark was made by the European Women's Lobby (EWL) in 2011).[30]
According to a report published by the Slovakian Institute for Labour and Family Research in 2012, "System defects, discontinuity and legislative amendments, and relatively high turnover of personnel, as well as other factors are affecting the plight of solutions to violence against women".[31]For instance, the report pointed to the limited efficiency of legal provisions enabling police officers to expel perpetrators of domestic violence from the common housing or neighbourhood for 48 working day hours,[32]and stated that sexual violence and abuse are only reported to police by one in four victims. Underreporting was also identified through the aforementioned EU-wide survey conducted in 2012, with only 12.0% of Slovakian women reporting the most serious incidence of intimate sexual and/or physical violence to the police, compared to 14.0% for non-partner violence, and 17.0% for stalking. The findings of the survey also indicate that 41.0% of Slovakian women are not aware of any institution or support service for violence against women.[33]
As regards conviction rates for violence against women, the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic reported that 265 persons were convicted of rape and sexual abuse in 2011, including 73 juveniles,[34] while the Slovakian Institute for Labour and Family Research indicated that the conviction rate for rape averaged 27.0% between 2006 and 2011, and dropped to its lowest rate (21.0%) in 2011.[35]
The Institute also stated that particular attention should be paid to violence against Roma women, who are excessively vulnerable due to their high rates of poverty.[36] The CAT expressed concern in 2009 over continued forced sterilisation practices on Romani women,[37] before the European Court on Human Rights (ECHR) ruled against the Government of the Slovak Republic in three cases between 2011 and 2012.[38]Despite these rulings, the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights noted in 2013 that the Government had still not recognised these illegal practices nor formulated an official apology, and therefore called on the country to ensure that all alleged cases were followed up, and that victims be given appropriate, effective and prompt compensation.[39] The CAT also expressed concern in 2009 over reports of internal and cross-border trafficking of Roma women and children.[40]
Female genital mutilation is not reported to be practiced in the Slovak Republic.
Latest UN figures for the period 2008-12 indicate that 96.9% of women in the Slovak Republic were attended by skilled health personnel at least once during pregnancy.[41]The Government indicated in 2009 that women made insufficient visits to prenatal care services, given that antenatal mortality accounts for the largest share of perinatal deaths.[42] According to the UN Population Fund's 2013 State of World Population Report, 66.0% of women aged 15-49 used some form of modern contraception,[43] although NGOs are concerned about the high cost of oral contraception and lack of public subsidisation.[44] The Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic reported a neonatal mortality rate of 3.3 deaths per 1 000 births in 2012, along with an infant mortality rate of 5.8 deaths per 1 000 births that same year.[45]These figures illustrate a slight increase since 2011 (respective rates of 2.9 and 4.9).[46] According to the Statistical Office, the mean age at first birth in 2012 was 27.29, compared to 24.14 in 2001.[47]
Abortion is available upon request, and in the event of threat to maternal life, rape, health concerns, foetal impairments, and for economic or social reasons.[48] According to the most recent national statistics, 16 377 abortions were recorded in 2012, compared to 22 792 in 2001, and the general abortion rate was 12.0 abortions per 1 000 women aged 15- 44 in 2012.[49]

Recent data does not indicate a son bias. The country had a male/female sex ratio at birth of 1.05,[50] and for the working population (15-64) male/female sex ratio of 1.0.[51]There is no evidence to suggest that Slovak Republic is a country of concern in relation to missing women.
Nearly identical pre-primary school, primary school and secondary school enrolment rates were recorded for both sexes between 2008-12.[52]

Concerning access to land and non-land assets, the Civil Code contains general, gender neutral regulations on the acquisition of ownership, including non-discriminatory provisions regarding joint property between spouses (s.143 - s.151), while the Land Registry Act No. 162/1995 regulates real estate rights in more detail, and does not appear to contain any gender discriminatory provisions. As regards access to financial services, the World Economic Forum reported almost identical access to accounts in formal institutions among both sexes in 2013 (79.0% of women had an account, compared with 80.0% of men).[53] Moreover, according to 2011 data from the World Bank, only a fraction more men had taken out a loan at a financial institution in the past year (12.7% of men, compared with 10.3% of women), and possession of credit and debit cards were almost identical among both sexes (21.6% of men had a credit card, compared with 19.2% of women; 69.6% of men had a debit card, compared with 67.1% of women).[54]
In regards to access to public space, the Constitution guarantees, inter alia, freedom of movement (art.23), freedom of expression (art.24), freedom of speech (art.26) and freedom of assembly (art.29).
According to the European Commission's most recent data, there were no striking gender gaps in the frequency of getting together with family and friends. 22.0% of women visited family on a daily basis, 36.6% every week, 21.0% several times a months, and 12.7% once a month; while 22.9% visited friends on a daily basis, 29.2% every week, 21.8% several times a months, and 14.1% once a month.[55]
The Government of the Slovak Republic has taken several measures to increase women's political participation. In particular, a National Strategy for Gender Equality 2009-13 was passed on 8 April 2009, followed by a National Action Plan for Gender Equality 2010-13 on 12 May 2010, whose first operational objective consists in achieving equal representation of women and men at all levels of decision-making and power.[56]Moreover, a female Prime Minister (Iveta Radičová) held office between 2010 and 2012. [57]In its 6th term (2012-2016), the Parliament has three women out of the four deputy speakers.[58]
The Government has not adopted national quotas to increase women's political participation, however,[59] although the People's Party-Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (Ľudová strana - Hnutie za demokratické Slovensko - HZDS) has voluntarily set a parity target.[60] No quotas have been established at the sub-national level.[61] Women remain under-represented in parliament, with 2013 data from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) indicating that women make up only 18.7% of Parliament (28 seats out of 150), thereby placing the Slovak Republic in 81th position in the World Classification of women in Parliament.[62]
As regards leadership positions more generally, latest UN data indicates that women represented 13.3% of Government ministers in 2011, 63.8% of judges in 2010, and 23.1% of Constitutional court members in 2008.[63] Moreover, according to the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, women's representation on boards of directors doubled between 2005 and 2012, jumping from 11.0% to 22.0%.[64]
Regarding workplace rights, the 2004 Anti-discrimination Act prohibits discrimination on grounds of sex, inter alia, in employment and other areas, and states that discrimination on grounds of pregnancy and maternity, and discrimination based on sexual or gender identification, constitute discrimination on grounds of sex.[65] Moreover, women in the Slovak Republic are entitled to 238 days of paid maternity leave,[66]which is fully financed by the Government and equates to 65.0% of their wages.[67] In addition, it is prohibited for employers to ask about family status or to discriminate on the basis of gender during job interviews,[68] and to terminate women's contracts during maternity leave.[69]
The Government has taken measures to promote gender equality in labour relations, including the organisation of an annual competition entitled "The Employer accommodating family, gender equality and equality of opportunities", and the organisation of conferences.[70]
Despite these measures, several challenges remain, including gender gaps in employment rates, wages, working hours and part-time work. In the fourth quarter of 2013, 44.0% of women were employed, compared to 58.1% of men.[71]Moreover, a report published by the European Commission in 2013 indicates that female employees in the Slovak Republic earned on average 20.5% less than male employees in 2011, compared to the EU gap of 16.2%.[72] This gap is corroborated by national statistics for 2012, which indicate that women earned on average 761 euros per month, compared to 1 003 euros for men; and that women consistently outnumbered men in the 200-700 euros monthly salary range, while men consistently outnumbered women in the 700-2300 euros range.[73] In addition, 2011 data from the OECD indicates that men work longer hours on average, with 87.0% of men working over 40 hours a week, compared with 78.0% of female employees.[74]Finally, the European Commission also reports that the Slovak Republic's 2012 female part-time employment rate of 5.5% was well below the EU average of 32.1%, and that part-time working hours decreased between 2002 and 2011.[75]
There are no gender inequalities in access to ICT. According to latest UN data for 2013, 78.0% of women and men used Internet over a three month period, and 74.0% of women and men used Internet on a weekly basis. Access to computers was also identical between sexes (79.0%).[76]
Slovakian law provides for equal citizenship rights for women and men.[77]

Target Mobile has been offering pre-orders of the iPhone 4S since last Friday. As of now they are only offering them for AT&T and Verizon. All models with the exception of the black 32GB iPhone 4S for AT&T is still available.
Today, October 13, is the last day that they can accept pre-orders for any of the iPhones. The cutoff date for getting the device on launch day was Monday, October 10. Even though the devices won't arrive until mid-next week that is still a lot sooner than the 4 week wait time that Apple is currently estimating for new orders.
At the time of purchase a $50 deposit is required for the pre-order. When your iPhone arrives at the location in which it was pre-ordered the $50 will come off of the total price of the handset. Hurry though because like we said today is the last day of pre-orders since tomorrow is launch day.
Anybody getting ready to head over to their local Target Mobile now?

After all this talk of just soaking millionaire and billionaires with new taxes, is it smart for President Obama to hang with the super-rich on Martha's Vineyard this summer? Liberal Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan said no on Tuesday:
I love my summer vacation. I like President Obama more than most of you. But a new Marist Poll says that for the first time ever a majority of American adults — 55 percent — will not be booking a summer vacation this year. They're too worried about jobs and money. The "Staycation" of 2009 has morphed into the "Naycation" of 2011.
But Obama, who's got us panicked over this debt-ceiling stalemate, will soon be off — again — to Blue Heron Farm, Martha's Vineyard. Check out the pictures of this "farm" online. You practically drool. It looks like the centerfold of "Town & Country," the magazine for aspiring zillionaires.
But unless Obama fixes this fiscal disaster — now — he can't go. He should have a staycay like the rest of us.
Instead, he'll be looking at 28 acres on the water from a pristine white Victorian farm house handsomely appointed with Restoration Hardware-style chairs and tables on an elegant patio.
Eagan concluded: "Barack Obama is running for re-election with dismal poll numbers, more than 9 percent unemployment, gas sneaking back to $4 a gallon and a blistering heat wave melting us all. It's just an unseemly time for him to be frolicking surfside on a summer vacation that may well cost us beleaguered taxpayers as much as $50,000 just for the house — forget the Secret Service and all that presidential security."
Eagan will probably not be echoed by the Obama-loving national media elite.

Rendon has walked in 38.2% of his plate appearances since Jeremy Rathjen went down for the season.
Rendon went 6-for-13 this past week, with an amazing 10 walks, reaching base in 16 of his 24 plate appearances. Most of his hits came on Friday, in a 4-for-4 game against Marshall. Some quick facts on Rendon:

-He currently has a .552 OBP, thanks to a 27.9% walk rate.

NutriSystem D
A new meal delivery plan from NutriSystem catering to the needs of a diabetic diet.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Get started by saving with these Nutrisystem Coupons
This newest innovation from NutriSystem caters exclusively to the unique dietary needs of diabetics. This population of Americans is continuing to grow, and as a leader in weight loss products, NutriSystem is creating a diabetic version one of its famous meal plans with NutriSystem D.
The program was undergoing clinical trials in late 2008 and became available in Spring 2009. The trial showed that users lost 16 times more weight with NutriSystem D than without, lowered their blood sugar level five times more, and lowered their A1c (glycated hemoglobin) by 0.9.
The NutriSystem D program functions very similarly to the other NutriSystem programs. It allows you to lose weight, control blood-sugar levels and manage your diabetes with its 28-day menu-delivery program that include diabetic-friendly, low-glycemic carbohydrates, free round-the-clock access to registered dietitians and an easy-to-follow meal plan.
NutriSystem announced in July 2012 that it added a team of certified diabetes educators that's part of the company's dietary and healthcare services department and is available by phone to Nutrisystem D customers seven days a week from 7 a.m. - 12 a.m. (EST). This service is free to Nutrisystem D customers and intended to be an additional support system and answer questions about anything from nutrition to personal care.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?

On the NutriSystem D plan you will eat three meals, one snack and one dessert each day. Like all NutriSystem plans, you will have to supplement your packaged foods with low-fat dairy and fresh fruits and vegetables.
A typical day looks like this: NutriSystem scrambled eggs and cheese for breakfast, beef and vegetable soup with a green salad for lunch, NutriSystem pretzels for a snack, sliced beef steak with potato wedges and brocoli for dinner and low fat yogurt and mixed berries for dessert,
- Cheesy Margherita Pizza
- Golden Pancakes

User Feedback(Page 1 of 2, 26 total comments)
I have been on this 1 week and I love all the food so far..Very pleased!
I bought the 5 day starter packs (3 of them) and the food is palatable, some very good. It is easy to follow and the first week I lost 2.5 pound however the second week I gained back 2 and have now lost 1 of those pounds. I have noticed my fasting blood sugar is higher and even though I'm on the D (diabetic) plan there are tons of carbs. I intend to continue thru the packs I have then make a decision about continuing. The weight will have to come off and the blood sugar go down if it's a go.
I might change to the new Atkins program that allows for 40 grams of carbs a day.
I want to place my next order. I can't seem to get on the correct page to do this.
Hi Everyone! Just joined this website a few minutes ago. I'm 52, was diagnosed w/Type 2 diabetes 2 months ago. I've been on Nutrisystem off and on for about 20 years. ALWAYS lost weight on the program but when I went back to my old eating habits, gained all back. I rejoined Nutri in March and since then I've lost 20 pounds (EXTREMELY slow I know). I did not join as a diabetic but I'm not switching plans as I checked food for food on both plans and I'm ok; I'm not ordering anything that's NOT on the diabetic plan so I'm ok with the Woman's Plan. My opinion on Nutrisystem is this: The MAIN negative is the cost, it's friggin expensive ($300 a month w/out grocery food). That's been the main reason why I stopped the plan over the years, it got very expensive. Cost aside, I really like the food (buttered popcorn is to die for and yes it's on the diabetic plan also), there's enough of a variety for anyone. The great thing IMO about Nutrisystem is it teaches you the MAIN principle of ANY diet ------- portion control. I believe that once I loose all my weight (20 down, 15 to go), since I am now a diabetic I will be keeping the weight off and not go back to my old eating habits (crossing my fingers on this of course) when I go off Nutrisystem. So, bottom line - main con is Cost. Pros are: teaches portion control, food is really good, enough of a variety, frozen food is really good (orange popsicle, delicious).
The glycemic index does not consider the glycemic load. Sure, carrots are high on the glycemic index, but you'd have to load 3 REALLY large raw carrots to get a slight increase in blood sugar. I find nutrisystem to be misleading. ANYone can prepare a diabetes friendly menu with some education and a trip to the store to get the good foods, for a lot less that NS. It's all in portion sizes, and you can cook the correct portions yourself for much less. There are NO "you can't have it" foods on a 'diabetic diet." There IS NO diabetic diet, darn it! Just healthy cooking the foods you like and stepping away from the table a little sooner. If you are presented with a fake cookie alongside a real cookie, I would wager many people would eat the 'diet cookie (has just as many carbs as a regular cookie, by the way) and then eat the REAL cookie too, because it's more satisfying. See your local diabetes educator for more details.
are there any plans for nutrisystem plan for those with celiac disease???
I dont need to lose alot of weight but need to reduce sugars and retrain myself to eat right will this work
I'm ready...what do I do?
I am a person who can eat anything. I have liked everything in my diet plan. I am fat because I can eat everything and what I get from Nutrisystem is consistency,eat this and this and this. I have lost 6 1/2 lbs in les than a week. This is my new medicine.
About 10 months ago I weighed in at 498 pounds. Had been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes as well as hypertension. I'm a single dad with two boys counting on me to be there. I saw the nutri-system - D plan on television one day, but simply couldn't see myself ever being able to afford it on my income. Eventually, I came to the realization that I couldn't afford not to try it. While it hasn't been easy, it has been worth it. After 10 months I am 70 pounds lighter and still dropping. I know I'm a long ways from my goal of 250, but I know I will get there. I'm also able to be more active with my sons. It's like smoking. When you're ready to quit you will. As far as the price, it's really not that bad when you toss in the frequent discounts. It's easy to cut corners and or place a price on health until you don't have it anymore.
i am highly alergic to MSG..mono sodium glutemate...a flavor inhancer that is in a lot of soups and processed food....is there any in your products...also i would like to know the cost of shipping
The food makes you have so much gas that it makes you feel miserable. I lost no weight on this diet. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!
I have a stepdaughter with very bad eating habits-potaoes,rice,&beans period--her dr. told her she is prediabetic and needs to eliminate those three foods from her diet for at least 6 mo. will you diabetic plan work for her
Plan less than I spent on groceries a month. Lost 85+ pounds and able to reduce meds w/ DR supervision because of weight loss. Saved my life.Changed my lifestyle. Must be committed to changing eating habits.
I'm single and spend more than $300 a month on groceries and eating out, so this will actually save me money. I'm also considering it because it will save me time. I've done the Zone and South Beach diets and it's time consuming. Would be nice be able to go to the gym after work, then come home and have a meal ready, rather than spend 30 mins or more preparing one. Just hope the food is really good.
love the food - have lost 55 pounds in 4 months AC1 8.5 3 months ago when first went to dr. 3 months later AC1 is 5.7
dr. stated stay on NS very good diet
I love everything about NS
I am 61 years old
Folks, it is 10 dollars a day. You spend that , I bet on food. Fast food is about that for one meal, unless you buy the dollar junk. It is a lot of money, but total your weekly shopping list first before you say you can not afford it. I do hope everyone out there better finances this coming year.
Food still costs money. Healthy food costs more. Everyone can do this diet at home. The Zone, or South Beach, or any change that includes the glycemic index will get you the same results. Change it up, and even cheat once in a while, will help in the long run. Live longer and enjoy life more. Instead of waiting to have someone hand you a fix-it pill, or ready made meals, make your own food. Costs so much less and helps your whole family eat healthier.
not sure if will work for me.
A1C is misleading! It's hemoglobin A1C witch is a special blood test that cost more money to run. Dr's usually order this test once a year. So if that is your key indicator you need check with your doctor. Also google "Hgb A1C".

The PMC .223 I have bought before functioned fine (although quite dirty) the primers are crimped making it a pain to reload too.
Honestly I have bought very little .45 ammo recently as it is still hard to find around here and expensive as all get out when I do. Reloading with leadsafe 200gr bullets and unique or bullseye powder keeps shooting .45 alot affordable.

Zero Waste in School
2014 will see a focus upon reducing waste in schools across Central Otago and the Queenstown Lakes. Everyone on the planet has to deal with waste. It's a fantastic theme to be able to introduce and grow education for sustainability in the classroom.
How can we guide our schools towards zero waste? Let's start with following the Enviroschools Action Learning Cycle. Have a look at page 17 of your Enviroschools handbook for guiding questions and links to tools to help you solve them.
Identify the current situation with your waste – what is happening?
During the first few weeks of term start discussions about waste. What waste do you have in the classroom? Where does it come from? How much of it do you have? These are simple questions that can be asked to all students. Record what you find. There is a fantastic teacher pack including audit sheets on the Enviroschools Measuring Change website.
Visit www.unpackit.org.nz to find a fantastic selection of resources dealing with waste in schools. There is something in there for everyone, really easy lunch box audits and information about packaging and recycling. Please remember that Simon is available to support classrooms in person and remotely within the Queenstown Lakes District, your students and teachers can contact him directly with any questions relating to EfS, and in particular waste.
We have made a padlet with some useful zero waste links, why not create your own in class? Add Simon as a contributor and he can answer questions directly on there.
Edible Gardens in School
Edible gardens in schools are AWESOME! They are a fantastic way to teach students about life cycles and observe how they work in a fairly short time span. From growing a seed into a seedling, planting those seedlings into the ground, watering them, watching them grow, talking to your buddies about the amazing growth that's occurring, harvesting, eating your gorgeous kai and then returning the leftovers to your compost heap to create soil to use in the same process all over again. There are a heap of resources out there, a Google search of Edible Gardening in Schools will return thousands of options. Over time I've gathered a few goodies, well I think they are, and now I've made them available in a collection on my Google Drive.
Central Otago Early Years Education for Sustainability (COEYES)
The early childhood sector in Central Otago is already delivering lots of education for sustainability. As we investigate funding options to increase our capacity as a team we are doing everything we can to support this sector. With all of the work already happening, there has been an opportunity to pull it all together. A group of dedicated early childhood teachers have attended evening workshops all year. The workshops are open to anyone in the early childhood sector. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to to find out more.
The Google Drive folder for our clusters can be found here.
- Term 1 2014 – Edible Gardens
- Term 4 2013 – Water Padlet
Notes from around the web
Links pages are a nightmare to navigate and manage. Endless lists of page titles is confusing and boring to trawl through. Thankfully the emergence of Internet technologies is making this easier. Simon has decided to start using a website called Padlet to collect some of the interesting and entertaining links he finds that are at the very least vaguely related to Education for Sustainability. You can also keep an eye on Wanaka Wastebusters Facebook page for ongoing updates from all of us.
October 2013 – A lovely variety of links here, from an introduction to why we need to choose a sustainable future through to a photography projects helping us understand the lives of different people and cultures across the globe….
September 2013 – Wilding Pines and Unpackit explained on video, living outdoor shade rooms, the sow and grow timetable and so much much more……

new springs make ride to high
I recently replaced everything in the front of my 69 chevelle control arms disc brake conversion and coil springs. Now the ride is way to high.
I used moog springs and i need to cut them down some.Does anyone know about how much cutting one coil will drop the front end?
Give the springs time to settle to their final ride height. I usually don't advise cutting or heating springs (especially not heating) to get to the final ride height, especially a nice pair of aftermarket ones. If they don't settle to a lower height, take them off, sell them and buy a set with lower advertised specs.
i would buy some different lowering springs
but....if you plan on cutting, you should wait a while, they will settle some
cutting coils is cutting corners, imho. you went through the trouble and expense of the disc conversion and new coils, it sounds like you are not the cutting corner type.
i would make sure the coils are properly seated in the control arm cups and upper pockets, sometimes they are not seated in the oem moldings and that will make the car sit higher. it helps to use a spring compressor to allow you to assemble the control arm and spindle, then rotate the spring to the right orientation and release tension. be sure to ride around and let them settle and then decide if you need drop specific coils.
You need to drive the car for 2 weeks, the springs will settle, possibly more than an inch. Then if you're still not happy, there's nothing wrong with cutting coils. I've done it to nearly all of my vehicles, with never any problem.

Hey Art, do you want me to mail you a CD of my high res pics of the blaster I took? I know I mailed them to Alex, did he forward them on to you?
The stabilizer is not the right model, a screw needs to be replaced, and the weathering isn't a perfect match, but I think it has a similar feel to the original.
Nice Art... wow a few props that are different than the norm.
nice to see!!
That looks awesome Art! Great job man.
Looks so cool, especially test fitting the stabilizer in the front. You're the only person I know of so far with the correct tube for this blaster. :thumbsup
Thanks to you!
When I do this again, I think I will take a rough scotch brite pad to the flash tube first to give the surface just a bit of catch. The metal surface is so smooth right now that the paint comes off just a bit too easily.
Is that a real tube, or a replica? Very nice, as always:)
It is a real flash tube.
Space Uzi's are the best, it looks great.
Thanks to volcerc and odiwan72 I now have the correct michell sweep arm base for the supertrooper rifle. :)
Nice score, Art! That barrel is looking slick.
what type of paint did you use?
Well, I got just a little closer to my goal today. Found a Graflex with a mostly correct spring switch... It isn't perfect and the graflex itself is a little roughed up, but overall... getting there...
Well... 5 Graflexes later... I think I am close to done... I have had the absolute WORST luck with getting exactly the right model Graflex... but this one turned out pretty nice. Unlike the original test painting in the first post, I have left this one freshly painted as the photos of the Supertrooper with the autoblaster show the barrel to be relatively unweathered.
One word... Nice!

Opinion on Optima Batteries
I was at Costco last night and noticed they are selling Optima Red Top batteries. Anyone had any experiences with Optima's? Do I need to make any changes to the system to use one? They look physically smaller than a stock battery.
I've use'd one in the coupe for 4years not a bit of trouble,no corrosion on terminals,can be mounted about anywhere any position, do not need a battery box if in trunk would recommend for any vehicle. :thumbup:
Great for Jeeps. Like Zonk said, very rugid and work at any angle with no acid spill. The downside I have heard is that they don't have the life that traditional lead/acid batteries have.
They can be physically smaller, but they usually have much more CCA (cold cranking amps) than anything that comes in your car originally. They do not have the traditional liquid battery acid in them, so they can be mounted upside down if that interests you.
As for life span, I had one in a classic car that sat for six months at a time during the winters. The OPTIMA never failed to start the car. That battery was still showing peak CCA after almost seven years. They will recharge quicker than a lead acid type battery.
Check out the warranty of an OPTIMA. It is longer than any other lead acid battery.
If you chose to mount an OPTIMA in your trunk, they do not need to be vented like a lead acid battery.
When OPTIMA was being developed, the manufacturer provided them to state law enforcement in AZ (for the heat) and CO (for the cold). They were overwhelmingly approved by the two agencies that tested them. They were put into production after those tests.
The shorter life is the first time I have heard that comment. I have heard nothing but praise from people who have them.
This was one guys opinion that used Optima's in the past . I don't have first hand experience on this battery. Probably shouldn't have thrown that unreliable info. out there.
No prob Brad.
Optima's sound the way to go, I'll need to replace the Jag's battery box and bottom plate. Which brings me to the next question. Did you have to change your battery hold down and bottom plate because of the size difference? I don't mind the battery being smaller I could use the room.
Made mine,you might be able just to use your old box,put new battery in old,maybe screw small piece of bent steel tight against battery,your hold down may still work
I didn't mean to imply that an OPTIMA can't fail...anything manmade has that ability, but an OPTIMA probably won't fail due to the typical weaknesses of a lead acid type battery.
Since an OPTIMA is usually smaller than an oem type battery, you may have to alter your oem type hold down/tray. The OPTIMA (from COSTCO) typically comes with two red plastic adapters that may allow you to use you oem hold down/tray without much modification.
You can also do that as others suggested or if you want to spend the money, there are several billet type brackets that are OPTIMA specific.
If you intend to trunk mount your OPTIMA, then a battery box will be a good idea. I used a generic black plastic battery box for my OPTIMA, but RB'S OBSOLETE has a really nice compact ABS battery box now. http://www.rbsauto.com/
HEY JAG: I bought a 6 volt unit for my 1954 Chrysler because it sits around a lot and lead acid battery would run down quite often. It doesn't self discharge so it will last a long time. I then bought a 12 volt for my 38 Lafayette street rod because I was having hot start problems and wanted the higher cranking power. I am completely satisfied with both applications and I am using battery disconnect switches on both vehicles just to be sure of no circuit drain. They initially cost more but you will not have to replace them like lead acid units.....DAVE
Hey, Bro'
I put an Optima RedTop in my truck earlier this year. After researching batteries, I couldn't find anything that would top the Optima -- I believe it's the best battery available today. I had to make the batt-box in my truck larger (the original wasn't wide enough) ... otherwise, it works just fine -- my truck starts like a champ!
54 Chevy Pickup
The only thing that bothered me was Costco was getting the same price for the batteries as the auto parts stores around town. I wonder why they are not giving us a price break?
I have been using Optima Bats for several years because my batteries are inside my coupe and PU. No fumes, no vents, no corrosion and very good service life. You need to read the fine print on charging. They do not like fast/quick charge and will die a sudden death after about the 2nd or 3rd one (been there, done that). I prefer the Yellow Top ( deep cycle) for my street rods because of the sometimes inactive periods and the constant discharge of sound system and efi memory circuits. The CCA is almost as good as the Red Tops. I also like the side post/top post capability since I use the side posts for starter and main ground leads and the top posts to feed my electrical control panel.which I locate near the battery for easy access vice on the fire wall behind the dash.
I like your system Trees, that is exactly what I am looking at for my 34.

I hadn't seen this video before, good as a heads up. I have several Fobus paddle holsters.
YouTube - Why you don't use a kydex paddle holster
This is a discussion on On the belt outside the waist band Kydex for Glock 23 within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Recommendations on quality manufacturers of Kydex outside the waist band holsters? I have seen the video on You Tube of a Kydex holster being literally ...
Recommendations on quality manufacturers of Kydex outside the waist band holsters? I have seen the video on You Tube of a Kydex holster being literally ripped off some ones belt. It is my understanding that the holster was a Fobus and that it has inferior rivets and that is why it was easy to remove. Any suggestions and comments? Regards
I hadn't seen this video before, good as a heads up. I have several Fobus paddle holsters.
YouTube - Why you don't use a kydex paddle holster
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
This has come up before (kind of) on DC with regard to Serpa holsters. The Fobus and the video are brought up. It seems the Fobus problem was with earlier models.
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
Fobus is NOT Kydex, it's injection molded plastic and the video on youtube is considerably OLD. The new fobus gear will not do that.
Also, Kydex is much stronger than plastic by far. My favorite is Raven Concealment. Comp-Tac is also good, but for OWB the concealment aspect will be more difficult due to the way their holsters tend to stick out from the belt line.
There are others, and you'll have to shop around.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
Laws are restrictive but sometimes necessary to maintain a civil society. Rights are nonrestrictive but are always necessary to maintain a free society.
Fobus is plastic, not kydex as per their website. Uncle Mike is injection molded kydex, not thermoformed kydex. When they liquify the kydex for the injection machines, the liquification ruins some of the better qualities of kydex, leaving it brittle.
The best kydex holsters are therefore thermoformed kydex, made by craftsman such as Dan Hillsman, RM Kydex, an others.
Kydex has excellent speed of presentation and is very compact, making for an excellent concealment holster. Of course, leather is a few millimeters thicker at both sides but you don't have as much worry about breakage.
You will not have any problem with someone breaking off your kydex holsters.
In fact, IMO, the Fobus video is largely hokey in that would you just stand there while someone ran up to you and ripped off your holster?
If CC then how would anyone even know it was there?
I had a friend whom I asked to rip my Fobus off and he gave a jerk and failed. I do not believe that with one in good shape it is all that easily broken. I have been using Fobus paddle holsters for at least 10 years with no problems except I had to work with one for a G26 to get it loose enough to accept the gun. Newer models with an adjustment screw take care of that.
I use them at the range, and often carry my 642 in one. I use one for my P3AT, and don't even have a leather holster for it.
I am not saying that Fobus is equal to Comp-tac for instance, but it is a satisfactory holster for carrying your gun if you like a paddle and OWB. It has gotten a bad rap, and I will not argue with anyone who says he has had a bad experience with Fobus. However, I have not, and recommend the Fobus paddle to someone whose budget is tight, and needs a holster. Yes, I am willing to stake my life on it, and do almost daily since I carry the P3AT more than any of my guns.
Comp-Tac makes some nice stuff. Their belt holster is made from one piece. Not easy to break. JSholsters makes a very nice paddle. Worth the extra money over Fobus. Blade-Tech is pretty good as well.
Look at FIST. Their stuff looks nice and they have a short wait itme with reasonable prices.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I ordered the Comp Tac OWB adjustable cant deluxe. The Kydex holster will come with the belt mount and a paddle mount. We'll see how it works. I ordered a gun belt from Beltman in NC. I like the looks of the straight up and down OWB kydex but I want the ability to cant the Glock 23 to suit my comfort and minimize printing. Thanks for all the inputs

enlarged kidneys?? any comments wud b greatfully appreciated.
I had my 20w scan on wednesday. We found out we are having a baby girl!!!
Im excited beyond words, I was kinda hoping for a daughter
Everthing seemed fine and measures fine. But then another sonographer came in at end and said he needed to take a look. He says babys kidneys are retaining fluid and enlarged! I had no idea what this meant. He said we will do another ultrasound in 6 weeks and he will report it to my doctor. He did say "I wouldn't lose sleep ovr it"
However. I'm still worried silly right now. It kinda took away my excitement
So of course I got home and researched everything I could online abt it. Many sites say it is a soft marker for downs??!! my NT scan came back great as well as all my bloood work. So I don't kno if I shud b worried. I'm 26. First baby. No history of defects in either mine or OH family. I'm just super worried sick! PLS does anyone have any experience or kno anything abt this?? I've really been struggling to find answers from anyone plus online says WAY more common in boys. So why does my baby girl seem to have an issue?? Pls help! ??

Breast cancer survivor from Monterey to be honored by SF Giants
Eleanor Uhlinger selected as team's 2014 Honorary Bat Girl
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - A Monterey woman will be honored at tonight's San Francisco Giants game as an honorary bat girl.
Eleanor Uhlinger was selected as the winner of the 2014 Honorary Bat Girl contest, which honors those who have been affected by breast cancer. A total of 31 women were selected winners, each for a different team.

GP commissioning is the bait which Howard Stoate has swallowed whole (Response, 12 January). There are good arguments for greater involvement of GPs in designing healthcare pathways, which is why a quarter of us are already nibbling at the idea. But he fails to mention all the accompanying reforms which cleverly reinforce each other to create the conditions for the marketisation of the NHS, with its attendant profit motive and explosion in transaction costs.
No mention is made of abolition of the fixed national tariff for provision of each service. This will lead to a race to the bottom, where competitive tenders will be won by the cheapest bids, as quality is so difficult to measure. The current fixed tariffs ensure competition on quality alone. No mention of Monitor, the body which will ensure awarding of all contracts is subject to European competition law, so preventing GPs from "anti-competitively" supporting their local hospital, if there is an alternative cheaper private provider.
Choice is an illusion to foster the market for competing providers. As a GP, I am uncertain of quality differences between my local hospital consultants, let alone those from multiple providers. Patients stand little chance of making rational choices when outcome data is so easy to manipulate. They always ask for one good local hospital. GPs will inevitably be guided by health management professionals in their commissioning decisions, which the private sector is eager to exploit. Why didn't the white paper just put a few keen GPs in charge of the existing PCTs and save the £3bn being used to create the conditions for an insidious private takeover of our NHS?
