This synergistic blend in Theramedix NK Nattokinase Formula has been shown to have high fibrinolytic (breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity. Theramedix NK provides: Nattokinase NSK-SD 1,000 FU Other Supporting Enzymes: Amylase Thera-blend 3,600 DU Protease Thera-blend 16,000 HUT Glucoamylase 40 AGU Lipase Thera-blend 600 FCCFIP Cellulase Thera-blend 1,000 CU Bromelain 96 GDU Mineral Blend 40 mg 60 capsules per bottle. No excipients or fillers. Nattokinase NSK-SD is the only Nattokinase that has been specifically studied for cardiovascular, circulatory and blood pressure benefits.* This blend exhibits the unique ability to act as a potent fibrinolytic and antioxidant enzyme.* Minerals are cofactors of enzymes and are added to support metabolic enzyme production and increase activity by raising alkalinity.* Fibrin is a protein that forms in the blood after trauma or injury, and is essential for halting excess blood loss. There are more than twenty enzymes in the body that assist in clotting the blood, while only one that can break the clot down (plasmin). Bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins present in the blood also trigger an inflammatory condition resulting in excess cross-linked fibrin. Since there is no danger of blood loss and trauma has not occurred, this cross-linked fibrin will circulate through the blood and will stick to the walls of blood vessels. This contributes to the formation of blood clots, slows blood flow and increases blood viscosity contributing to the elevation of blood pressure. Nattokinase helps to balance the clotting of the blood so that excess clotting is reduced.* It reduces blood viscosity, helps clear obstructions caused by the protein fibrin and plaque along the arterial wall and it inhibits ACE.* Nattokinase enhances the body's production of plasmin and other clot-dissolving agents.* Moreover, Nattokinase is a natural dietary supplement that is a regular component of some foods and is very safe. Nattokinase has been the subject of 17 studies, including two small human trials. In one study, researchers from JCR Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University, and Miyazaki Medical College tested nattokinase on 12 healthy Japanese volunteers (6 men and 6 women, between the ages of 21 and 55). They gave the volunteers 200 grams of natto (the food) before breakfast, then tracked fibrinolytic activity through a series of blood plasma tests. The tests indicated that the natto generated a heightened ability to dissolve blood clots. On average, the volunteers' ELT (a measure of how long it takes to dissolve a blood clot) dropped by 48 percent within two hours of treatment, and volunteers retained an enhanced ability to dissolve blood clots for 2 to 8 hours. An additional study showed an 11% decrease in blood pressure after just two weeks. Indications:* Cardiovascular health, High blood pressure, Stroke, Heart attack, Heart disease, Scar tissue. Enzymes FAQ's How long will it take to start seeing results when I start taking enzymes?Though everyone is different, for most individuals results can be noticed relatively fast compared to other alternative health therapies. Typically, using a particular product from a few days up to a few weeks (3-4 weeks) will allow one to make a decision whether benefits are being produced. Are there any side effects when taking enzymes?They are happy to say that positive effects rather than negative effects are experienced by most people. When starting enzymes, the body may experience what they like to call "adjustment effects" rather than true side effects. Many of the uncomfortable reactions such as an upset stomach, allergy-like symptoms or irritability are actually signs that the enzymes are working. The body is cleaning itself out and the healing process is starting. The body is processing more food and liquid and receiving more nutrition from food or supplements when taking digestive enzymes. The gut is healing, cleaning out inflammation and waste and there is die-off from yeast, bacteria and pathogens when taking therapeutic formulas that contain high amounts of protease. If adjustment effects are not well tolerated, simply lower the dosage and slowly build up the potency. Some people see no adjustment effects at all. Are Theramedix plant enzymes which are produced by fungus safe to use?Since their introduction, there has never been a documented case of illness from mycotoxins or Aspergillus fungus infections associated with fermented enzymes, which is a testament to the effectiveness of the screening process employed by the enzyme manufacturing industry. Before the Aspergillus fungal organism is used in fermentation, the specific strain is extensively screened to determine if the organism is capable of producing mycotoxins under the conditions of fermentation. Theramedix only uses plant enzymes derived from the fermentation of specific strains of "pharmaceutical grade" Aspergillus, which establishes their safe use. Once fermentation is complete, the enzymes are extracted by a complex process that isolates protein compounds from the surrounding material. No living Aspergillus cells remain in the isolated enzyme after the extraction process is complete except purified compounds, which do not contain any living Aspergillus cells and therefore cannot initiate infection or colonization. Why are some Theramedix products called "therapeutic" and others called "digestive?Digestive enzymes are just as they imply. They are to be taken with food. They have broad-spectrum digestive formulas and also specialty digestive formulas for those with specific food intolerances. Therapeutic enzymes which have been shown to provide many healthful benefits, work systemically in the body so they should be taken when the stomach is empty. They recommend taking therapeutic enzymes at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal. How do I know which enzymes to supplement with?They like to take a simple approach and first start with digestion since it is the foundation of optimal health. By improving your digestion you increase nutrient absorption and lessen the burden on the body to manufacture enzymes. The body's energy is then freed up for production of metabolic enzymes for systemic health needs. The second step would be to determine the number one health issue that you would like to overcome or reduce the negative effects of and choose the appropriate therapeutic formula. The Enzyme Deficiency Test is an effective tool for this purpose. Please feel free to give us a call if you need assistance with the test. If I am on a raw food diet or juices, do I still need enzymes?Raw foods provide only enough enzymes to digest that particular food and may seem like the ideal type of diet. However, for many it is generally not practical and in some cases not medically advisable. Due to the risk of bacterial contamination many foods such as meats, poultry, eggs and beans should not be eaten raw. Many people find the fiber content in many raw vegetable foods very difficult to digest. If I am taking vitamin/mineral supplements or other nutritional supplements do I still need enzymes?There are numerous types of supplements that can have health benefits. Vitamins and minerals are actually considered coenzymes. A coenzyme is dependent on energy and an enzyme to work. Also many products such as those containing Algae, barley grass or chlorophyll are wonderful foods that contain minerals, vitamins, and enzymes because they are a plant food. However, they do not have the digestive action of supplemental plant enzymes and, at best, their enzymes will only deliver the nutrients they contain. If supplemental enzymes are taken will the body stop producing its own enzymes?No, because supplemental enzymes support normal body organ function and perform very specific activities (amylase breaks down carbohydrates, lipase breaks down fats, protease breaks down protein). This may relieve stress on the body, reducing the load of work, thus reducing the load of output or energy utilized by these organs. Supplemental enzymes do not control organ function or organ production directly. If you discontinue supplementing the body will continue to make whatever enzymes are necessary for digestive and metabolic purposes. Do children need to supplement with enzymes?Unfortunately, children usually eat the same SAD (Standard American Diet), enzyme-deficient foods as their parents. Also, many very young children and even infants suffer from food intolerances. Children receive the same health benefits from enzymes that adults do. Is there a way to preserve our body's enzyme levels?It is thought that they inherit a certain "enzyme potential" at birth, sort of an enzyme piggy bank. Preserving this potential is the key to optimal health and longevity. The demand they put on our bodies may deplete our supply at a much faster rate than nature intended. There are several ways to fortify your enzyme potential; eat raw foods as much as possible, lessen your intake of foods in general, and the simplest way is to take high quality digestive enzyme supplements. Are supplemental enzymes destroyed by stomach acid?They use plant based enzymes which can tolerate the acidic environment of the stomach. Each enzyme type has an optimal pH, meaning it will work at its highest capacity within a specific range. Many are not completely "denatured" in stomach acid. They become "inactive" when in an incompatible pH in the body and will become "active" when entering a compatible pH. Some will even remain active in stomach acid. On the other hand, animal based enzymes (glandular) many times do become completely denatured in stomach acid. Can enzymes be taken when a person is on prescription medications?Plant based enzymes are considered natural and break down components from natural sources. Pharmaceutical drugs are synthetic and therefore enzymes wouldn't interfere with their activity. Proteolytic (protease) enzymes, such as Nattokinase which is in their NK do have an effect on blood viscosity (thickness). Please consult your physician if you are on blood-thinning medications. CDX, which contains Cellulase, should not be taken with any timed-release medications as they have a cellulose coating. Can more than one enzyme product be taken at the same time?Yes, but just make sure that you take digestive enzymes together with meals and therapeutic enzymes together on an empty stomach (30 minutes before or 2 hours after eating). Can probiotics be taken with enzyme supplements?Yes and probiotics actually help manufacture enzymes for the body. Proteolytic enzymes will only hydrolyze or break down the 3 Ds; anything that is Dead, Damaged or Does not belong. They will not interfere with colonization of probiotics. Some companies use HCL (Betane hydrochloric acid) in their digestive formulas. Why do none of Theramedix products contain HCL?A complete enzymatic digestive formula should not contain hydrochloric acid. HCL will counteract the activity of the enzymes amylase and lipase, which work in a more alkaline environment. For example, when HCL and lipase are combined in the same formula, lipase is undetectable when tested because it has been rendered ineffective by the HCL. Theramedix Thera-Blends the four main types of enzymes in every formula - protease, amylase, lipase and cellulase. Thera-Blending allows these enzymes to work across the board in the pH range of a 2-12. Whether the person is acidic or alkaline, in every range of the human body with or with out HCL, Thera-Blended enzymes are active. What is the difference between DGT and DGX?DGT is less potent than DGX so it is recommended for those who may desire a gentle product or want to start by introducing enzymes gradually. It is also good for more sensitive individuals and the elderly or younger children who have difficulty swallowing a larger capsule. DGX is ideal for anyone suffering from other health issues and who want the highest potency available. Generally, if there are no digestive sensitivities present, people 35 or older would benefit as this is when our own enzyme production starts dropping more noticeably. When a person has milk or dairy intolerance should they take GCF or LCS?It depends on what part of the dairy component they have a problem breaking down. GCF contains DPP IV Protease Thera-blend? which assists in casein (dairy protein) digestion. LCS contains Lactase Thera-blend? which assists in lactose (dairy sugar) digestion. Some products seem to have similar benefits, such as RPR and Serratio 120k. How do I determine which one is appropriate? RPR is recommended to help speed the recovery of sore muscles and joints due to overexertion or damage. Inflammation related to injuries, sprains or surgeries, all of which are considered acute, is relieved. Serratio 120k is recommended for more chronic conditions or those related to autoimmune disorders. Conditions that cause pain, discomfort, swelling and stiffness would benefit. Both may be taken together in severe cases. How does PRX compare to other proteolytic formulas available?When comparing products it is important to determine potency, purity and reliability. Make sure the enzymes in the formula are all measured according to FCC standards and by units of activity not weight (such as mgs). It is important that plant enzymes be utilized to achieve the most activity over the broadest pH range. The addition of a mineral blend to provide necessary metabolic cofactors for better bioavailability is important. Check for other ingredients and avoid products that contain fillers and additives like silicon dioxide or magnesium stearate. Finally, make sure the product is tested to ensure that it meets label claim. PRX meets all of these requirements. PRX proves to be a highly effective formulation to support immune function and assist the body in detoxification. Many other products do not fall within these criteria. Most of the products I have seen for Candida overgrowth contain herbs. How does CDX work?CDX, which uses just two groups of enzymes, Cellulase Thera-Blend and Protease Thera-Blend, appears to be a very simple formulation. However, it is extremely effective and has none of the side-effects of the traditional herbal formulas. They could compare the Candida cell to a coconut which has a very hard, protective outer shell and a meaty interior. Cellulase has two functions; it hydrolyzes the hard outer shell of the fungal or yeast cell which is called chitin and it also breaks down undigested fiber in the colon which is food for yeast. The Protease breaks down the protein core of the organism along with the toxins that are released, thereby reducing the effects of "die-off". Should GCF be used by those who have Celiac's Disease? No. GCF was designed for individuals who have gluten allergy or intolerance. However, they have found that some individuals who have celiac's disease may benefit from the use of GCF along with other digestive enzymes. They consider it a "safety net" product to use when a person is unsure of the content of a certain food. What is recommended for more severe digestive disorders like Ulcers, Crohn's, GERD or Colitis?SGI contains no protease, which can be irritating to inflamed, irritated tissue. It is formulated with a lower potency combination of plant enzymes along with herbals to soothe, protect and repair the gastrointestinal area. I have heard how important pHB balance is overall health. How do I determine if I need pHB?Their pHB is designed to raise alkalinity. There are numerous indications that pH is out of balance such as acid reflux, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mineral deficiency disorders, acidosis and hormonal imbalances. An overly acidic condition in the body will eventually, if left uncontrolled, lead to disease. As a preventative it is simple to monitor your urine acidity by using pH test strips. Urinary pH should fluctuate between 6.0-6.4 in the morning and 6.4-7.0 in the evening. Can enzymes be used as an anti-aging supplement?Much research is currently being done in the field of anti-aging and enzyme therapy is one area of exploration with promising implications. Dr. Edward Howell, an important researcher in the field of enzyme nutrition stated, "The length of life is inversely proportional to the rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential of an organism. The increased use of food enzymes promotes a decreased rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential." When the body fails to replace old cells with new ones at the rate it should along with the body's loss of enzymes the aging process accelerates. Thus, immune cells eventually face the same fate as the body ages, further resulting in age related diseases and many health issues. Since our body's supply of enzymes is not an endless reservoir, supplementation makes good sense. Is it possible for enzymes to have an effect on diseases and other health issues?In Germany and Japan enzymes have been used for several decades by orthodox medical researchers to augment established therapy. Systemic enzyme therapy as an adjunct to overall treatment for various diseases has finally gained a foothold in America. Enzymes have been shown to benefit some people with everything from allergies, migraine headaches and insomnia to cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Enzymes help in balancing body systems such as the digestive system, the circulatory system and the endocrine system. In turn, when the body is functioning properly and efficiently the immune system is better prepared to fight any disease and maintain the balance. Plant Based EnzymesPlant based enzymes are grown from Aspergillus. Aspergillus is a fungus grown in a laboratory setting on plants such as soy and barley. This fungus is a non-pathogenic pharmaceutical Aspergillus species and is free of mycelium contamination. They are called plant based, microbial and fungal. Of all the choices, plant based enzymes are the most active.* This means they can break down more fat, protein and carbohydrates in the broadest pH range than any other source.* In their manufacture, removal of all the Aspergillus leaves only the enzymes. Aspergillus enzymes have a strong record of safe use in the food industry, and they are considered food by the FDA. These enzymes can be taken with meals to aid in the digestion of all foods, or they may also be taken following or between meals to meet needs beyond digestion. Plant enzymes are not disposed of as if the body has no need for them.* They exit only after there is no more activity left in them to do their work.* Since they are a component of food, which is natural to the body, and since they are proven to be catalysts, plant enzymes are in a completely different arena from other enzyme supplements.* The Theramedix Thera-Blend™Theramedix uses an exclusive Thera-blend™ process for its protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase products. This means that each of these enzyme products consist of multiple strains of enzymes. For example, there are four protease strains present in the Thera-blend™ protease. These four strains have been carefully selected by examining the pharmacological research and choosing protease strains that are able to break protein bonds at varying pH levels-as one might find in the human digestive and metabolic system.* Most other enzyme products contain only one strain of enzyme. What happens when that enzyme is in an area of the digestive tract that has a pH outside of it's activity range? The enzyme is not able to break protein bonds, and thus remains inactive in that area of the body. Thera-blend™ enzyme products, on the other hand, are specially formulated to be active across the entire range of pH's that might be present in the digestive tract and metabolic system.* Figure 2 illustrates how multiple strains of one type of enzyme (such as protease) enhance the range of activity for Thera-blend™. Notice that there are three strains of protease shown. All have a slightly different optimal pH at normal body temperature. By combining the three they are able to achieve greater activity over a broader pH range (this is not an exact graph, but simply meant to illustrate the benefit of Thera-blend™. Completely Vegetarian SourceAll of the Theramedix enzymes are from either plant or plant based sources (such as from fungal and bacterial cultures). They use no glandular enzymes in their products for a number of reasons. Plant based enzymes are useful in developing and maintaining a proper digestive system and in allowing the body to produce more metabolic enzymes by reducing the need to produce digestive enzymes.* They can also be used for supporting health and various structures and functions of the body.* Glandular enzymes are better suited for specific treatment purposes rather than in enzyme maintenance programs. To simplify our understanding, we can think of enzymes that our bodies use as being one of three groups; food enzymes, digestive enzymes, and metabolic enzymes. Theramedix enzymes suit all of these purposes. Futhermore, the enzymes sold in stores may be thought of as being from one of three main categories: plant based (protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase, invertase, maltase, lactase, etc.); those coming strictly from plants (bromelain and papain); and glandular or animal enzymes (pancreatin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and ox bile). See Figure below for a basic comparison among the main enzyme product categories. Theramedix enzymes only come from strictly plant or plant-based sources, so they are of the highest availability enzymes available and there are no animal-derived enzymes present in their products. In addition they use 100% vegetarian capsules, and have no fillers. History of TheramedixIn 2005, Theramedix was officially launched and represented by Enzyme Consultants in specific markets all in the US. They are honored and determined to provide complementary and alternative practitioners with a proven, pure, and highly active line of enzymes. MissionTheramedix is a company dedicated to providing health care practitioners with a premier line of plant derived pharmaceutical grade enzymes. They are determined to provide the highest activity enzymes with the highest integrity available to health professionals and their customers. It is their determination to provide well-researched and well-documented information to help educate as many people as possible in the benefits of enzymes for maintaining and promoting optimal health. VisionThe role of Theramedix is to provide health professionals and their clients the most effective enzyme products available. In addition, they encourage an open dialogue between their practitioners and their consultants. Proper communication as it affects your practice is highly valued - in order to improve upon formulations and address specific needs in the market. They utilize the expertise of doctors, researchers and clinicians in formulating each of their products. Therefore, clear communication, honest feedback, research, and a host of educational and marketing tools are offered by their company to support the growth and development of your practice or clinic. They are here to serve you and your practical needs. PhilosophyIt would be an understatement to say that 'no two enzyme formulations are created equally'. At Theramedix, they believe strongly in passion and determination. Although, they still need to grow and develop as a professional line, they are 100% committed to expanding any research of plant based enzymes to help define efficacy and application. This is a monumentous task, but they wouldn't dream of neglecting their passion for truth and commitment to learn more. They would like to extend their curiosity to their customers who share their enthusiasm through participation in clinical trials and other related research objectives. It's something they envision to be their priority for many years. Methods & Measures Quality Methods and Measures of Enzyme ActivityThere are a number of enzyme supplement products on the market today. Only by analyzing the content labeling to compare products can you be sure you are getting the best product available. However, eighty percent of the enzyme supplements sold in health food stores today are plant-based. The other 20% is made up of glandular (animal sourced such as pancreatin, trypsin and chymotrypsin), and plant (bromelain and papain). It is important to understand that the assays used to measure each of these materials are different. There is no comparison of the active units used to determine how much protein, fat or carbohydrates an enzyme can break down in a matter of minutes of a plant or glandular enzyme verses a plant based enzyme, as the active units are very different. As a rule of thumb, one active unit of a plant based enzyme can equal anywhere from 10 to 100 active units of the plant and glandular enzymes. Therefore, on a unit per unit basis, plant based enzymes are 10-100 times more active than other choices. Theramedix products contain the highest activities available. No other company uses such high active units in a multiple enzyme line. In addition to a comprehensive digestive enzyme (DGX) that is on average ten times stronger than their competitors, Theramedix has a high amylase (AMS), a high protease (PRX), and a high lipase (LPS) product. They are one of a kind. They take enzyme activity seriously, and they measure this activity using real and valid units, as recognized by the FDA and nationally recognized standards. There are various methods for measuring activity of enzymes, and Theramedix uses the methods recommended by the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), an accepted standard of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FCC, published by the National Academy Press, is the system for determining enzyme potency used by the American food industry. This is the ONLY National Standard for evaluation of plant-based enzymes, and they establish activity levels and potency for enzymes. Whereas most supplements state the activities in weights, such as milligarms, enzymes are concerned with bioactivity. There is no direct relationship between weight and units of activity. The FCC Unitt Measurments Are Expressed As Follows: Alpha-Galactosidase-GalU (Galactosidase units) Amylase-DU (Dextrinizing Units) Bromelain - GDU (Gelatin Digesting Units) or FCCPU Catalase - Baker Units (Named after the Author) Cellulase - CU (Cellulase unit) Glucoamylase - AG (Amyloglucosidase Units) Hemicellulase - HCU (Hemicellulase Units) Invertase - INVU (Invertase Activity unit) Lactase - ALU (Lactase unit) Lipase - FCCFIP (Federation Internationale Pharmceutique) Maltase - DP (Degrees of Diastatic Power) Nattokinase - FU (Fibrinolytic Units) Pectinase - AJDU (Apple Juice Depectinizing Units) Phytase - PU (Phytase Units) Protease-HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine base) Xylanase - XU (Xylanase Units) It is important when comparing enzyme products to make sure measurements are listed using FCC standard codes. There are a number of different methods used by companies who sell enzymes as part of a line extension, but who do not adhere correctly to quality assurance nor do they indicate this on a label. For this reason, some products on the market may state enzyme amounts in milligrams, or other non-recognized units. Because of the variety of labeling formats used it is important to read carefully and make sure you are comparing labels and activity appropriately. To Help guide your comparisons of Theramedix products to their competitors, they have provided the table below to compare units that might be found in one product to those found in another. Quality & ManufacturingOUR PROMISE: All Theramedix products are manufactured and tested through rigorous quality control procedures to provide you with the most pure, potent, consistent and reliable enzyme products available. All their enzymes are pharmaceutical grade so that they meet the same stringent GMP standards of pharmaceutical drugs. Not only do they use their own quality control facilities to check the quality of their products, be they also send each batch of product out for third party testing in a reliable lab that is able to perform the tricky FCC designated methods for testing enzyme activity, as recognized by the FDA. High Standards, No Fillers: It is important to understand that the FCC standards they use to measure activity of their enzyme products are the only nationally recognized standards for enzyme products. Additionally, they use no fillers in their products, so they are able to provide you with high potency products in smaller capsule sizes, as well as eliminating completely the potential of allergy or intolerance to common fillers, such as dairy, preservatives, salt, sucrose, soy, wheat, yeast or artificial flavors or colors, that may be included in the products of their competitors. Third Party Testing: More about third party testing: They have intensively searched for a third party laboratory that is able to perform all the complex analysis needed to test enzyme products using FCC methods, and found that only one commercial laboratory is able to perform the complex analyses of enzymes, Venture Labs. Enzyme analysis assays are extremely difficult and labor intensive with expensive standards, so there has been only one laboratory up to the test. Theramedix tests every batch of enzyme by not only their own QA/QC procedures, but then they have each batch third party tested with Venture Labs. Kyle Newman, the Laboratory Director for Venture Labs has 15 years of experience analyzing enzymes, and he knows all the methods for enzymes and recommends FCC as the best. Moreover, Venture Labs uses only validated methods. Only a handful of companies do third party testing on their enzymes, and even fewer do it on every batch, as does Theramedix. That is one example of Theramedix's dedication for providing the highest quality and potency enzymes on the market.

NY Times Adopts Right-Wing Framing On "Right-To-Work" Law
Blog ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
A New York Times article on Michigan's "right-to-work" law adopted a right-wing framework by portraying union dues as "mandatory" and "compulsory" without explaining that labor leaders say those dues are necessary to avoid free-riders, who benefit from union-negotiated contracts while depleting those unions of resources. In contrast, a Times editorial provided the full context on this issue, including problems with possible "free riders."
The Republican-controlled Michigan government is in the process of passing a so-called "right-to-work" law. Conservative media are hyping the law using false arguments that the law would benefit Michigan workers and the state's economy, and that it's required to avoid "forced-unionism" at work places.
A New York Times article on Tuesday repeatedly highlighted the "mandatory" and "compulsory" aspect of union dues in states that have not adopted "right-to-work" laws, while ignoring a key reason unions negotiate those fees with employers as part of the collective bargaining process. A Wall Street Journal editorial previously framed this issue using similar conservative rhetoric, saying that unions "coerce" workers into paying union dues.
Economist Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, explained that unions are obligated to represent every worker -- even non-union members -- who is part of a collective bargaining unit that the union is recognized to represent, and that "right-to-work" laws simply ban the requirement that all workers who benefit from this union representation pay for the cost of maintaining it:
Right-to-work laws prohibit contracts that require that all the workers who benefit from union representation to pay for union representation. In states without right-to-work laws unions often sign contracts that require that all the workers in a bargaining unit pay a representation fee to the union that represents the bargaining unit.
The logic is straightforward. When a union is recognized as representing a bargaining unit it legally must represent every worker in that unit, whether or not a worker opts to join the union.
This means not only that non-members get the same wages and benefits that the union negotiates with the employer, but the union is also obligated to represent any non-member individually if that worker gets in a dispute with the employer over an issue covered in the contract. For example, if a non-union member is threatened with a discipline action or firing, the union must defend this worker's rights just the same as if they were in the union.
Right-to-work laws prohibit workers from being required to pay for this union representation. What right-to-work laws actually guarantee is the ability for a worker to benefit from union representation without having to pay for union representation.
The Times' loaded reporting on the issue is made more problematic in comparison to an editorial the paper published on the same day that laid out the purpose of these union dues (emphasis added):
These measures are misleadingly known as "right to work" laws, and their purpose is no less deceptive. Business leaders say workers should not be forced to join a union against their will, but, in fact, workers in Michigan can already opt out of a union. If they benefit from the better wages and benefits negotiated by a union, however, they are required to pay dues or fees, preventing the free riders that would inevitably leave unions without resources.

Well, that was a tough one. Check out the latest rankings update, loads of action!
Well, that was a tough one. Check out the latest rankings update, loads of action!
i know he is a team mate of mine so im a bit biased but why is Walter Gahadza still at 26?? at 11-0 over 3 years surely he should be a bit higher then he is, not top 10 but at least top 20 surely.
I'm presuming its because of who he's beaten.
U155lbs is stacked.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
Mathew Gurr 0-1
Arunas Klicius 0-10
Mathew Foster 0-1
Giacomo Pala 1-5
Giuseppe Aramini 1-3
Andy Cona 0-12 (on sherdog i heard he has 2 maybe 3 wins but is missing losses too)
Darius Kuncevicius 1-9
Tautvydas Lileikis 8-9
Paul Cook 11-4 (1-4 in last 5, only win in that time against Danny Welsh)
Manuel Garcia 25-15 Has a history of not beating anyone any good
Loic Marty 13-15
Is that the form of someone who should be top 10...top 20 maybe?
There are some good fights for him out there at WW and i'm for 1 interested to see those fights
Rankings have went mental this month lol. Massive task to undertake and props to you guys at Your MMA for keeping up with it.
I don't agree with some of the placings this month though. Some guys higher/lower than they arguably should be or not in at all. Hope you guys don't take it bad but I'll mention a few examples...
Still don't think Ash Grimshaw should be above Dave Hill when he has a win over him, albeit split decision. A wins a win. Josh Ramage I think is a bit high given the quality of the wins on his record. If you compare him to Alex Enlund, for example, who has a good win over Gambetesa. I think maybe guys like Chris Garry should be in the rankings with wins over Gambetesa and McDonough.
Im surprised that Merv Mullholland has went from 14 to 23 after the loss to Wheeler. Granted Wheeler was an unranked fighter last month but if you compare it to other times this has happened e.g. Sam Boult def. Alan Johnston, Johnston kept his high ranking and Boult went in just above him. Colin Fletcher moves down two places on the back of one loss in the UFC, Steven Ray moves up one place on the back of a loss to Curt Warburton. Doesn't make sense, not consistent. I think some guys like Chris Stringer and Myles Price have better quality wins than some of the guys at the lower end of the rankings.
Ryan Scope jumps in at 18 after a win over Luke Newman who was ranked 30 last month. I think hype has been the driving force behind that and there are guys with better wins that should be above him at the minute. JMS so low at WW? Danny Mitchell below Danny Roberts? Mitchell has wins over the likes of Musoke which is better than any of Roberts wins just now. I think hype has also pushed Ash Beamont up the rankings. Wins over 0-8, 1-2, 4-3, 7-3 (Lee Caers being the best win there, and his wins have come to guys with negative records). I think guys like Dean Amasigner (wins over Seydina Seck, Peter Irving, James Bateman), Ronan McKay (wins over Cathal Pendred, Lee Chadwick and Leigh Cahoon) and Dan Hope (wins over Avi Jack, Steven Ray and Gary Kono) should be in above guys like Ash Beamont, Quasim Shafiq, Warren Kee etc.
I hope this doesn't offend any of the fighters mentioned. Not an attack, merely some observations.
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.
could well be more but 1 that struck me straight away.... jay mortimore ???? am i missing something lol ????
he hasnt fought since july 2012....and that was his 3rd loss in a row, i believe hes went to muay thai now instead and hes still ranked number 12 heavyweight in the uk ? say what ?
also to above post.... chris garry is retired a far as i know...
Last edited by danhardy84; 29-03-2013 at 07:42 PM.
Guys like Dean Amasinger haven't won at the weight in question for 2 years probably
Same for Danny Mitchell must be well over a year since a win at ww
Ronan Mckays big wins came back in 2009
I can't speak for all of the panelists but I will try and make sense of some of these. I'm aware opinions will obviously vary and appreciate everyone's constructive criticism. No offense is taken when it's constructive. Or otherwise really to be fair.
Ramage has several wins not on Sherdog, including one over Alan Philpott. Enlund's win over Gambatesa was three years ago, and he hasn't had his best run of form recently. Garry has retired.
Re: Fletcher, I actually think it was a tad harsh for him to move down a couple of places after that performance, but I think Ray upped his stock with a valiant performance over a very good (one of the best) lightweights in Europe. Time will help sort the absolute madness that is the lower end of the lightweights out.
The manner Beaumont has been winning fights has definitely got him some fans - big knockouts and running through tough guys would certainly catch someone's eye more.
Amasinger is inactive. Looking at it, there's definitely a case for Dan Hope. Ronan McKay is a tough dude, but also relatively inactive of late and his big wins are way back.
Not bad to be pulled up on only a few things when you look at the size of the task. As I said, no offence taken. Everyone will view some things differently. We try to be as unbiased as possible and be the best resource possible, always looking to improve.
Always gonna be a tough job to do rankings, gonna be picky an say louis chapman has only fought once at fw and lost, his fight b4 was at 68kg, and gary kelly has only fought once in 3 years, being picky but also valid point lol
With regards to big wins being from a few years back, I just kinda think it's a disservice to guys who have fought stiff competition seeing guys who are beating up "lesser" fighters more recently fly up past them in the rankings.
It's a hard thing when doing rankings, but I suppose I would always give the dude who is testing himself against top competition and coming up short a few times, winning a few times, a higher ranking than guys who go on win streaks beating less than notable opponents.
Anyway, that's my tuppence worth in
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.

Seems funny how that when firmware that can't be jailbroken is released we receive a Tiny update the same day. Firmwares that can be jailbroken (and need of downloading the shsh right away is important) take months for Tiny to get updated forcing people to use redsn0w to get their file.
For those complaining about no jb for 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 I'm sure the saved exploits on iOS 6 will be used to jailbreak those firmwares if iOS 7 breaks them but 6.1.4 did not. Chill out.
Has nothing to do with being ungrateful, it's just being realistic. You have to be lucky to at least not have to restore once in a 12 month period, or you don't use any tweaks.

Recently it has come to my attention that there is a awful lot of illegal activity going on via Private Message. I would just like to let the community know that this will not be tolerated at all. Not only will I not allow discussion of illegal activity on the public forum, I will also not allow it via PM. I have been silently banning people for this type of behavior. Your private messages are not "private". As we run the forum, we reserve the right to read/open whatever we want. The idea that some of these script kiddies think they are smarter than a team of security professionals is almost comical. So consider this your one and only warning. If you get banned from this forum and you email me saying it was unfair, I would make sure you haven't been private messaging illegal behavior type stuff. There are plenty of h4x0r and Warez forums on the net where you can go talk about whatever weird or illegal crap you want to.
I would also like to add that some forum members have been doing a great job of replying to these messages and letting the people know that illegal is unacceptable. I know who these people are and they have not gone unnoticed.
I will be attacking this problem extremely aggressively in the next few weeks so beware.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Doppelwanker is a German internet expression describing either a person or an entity that is seen as an individual's exact double in masturbating style and technique. While each of us may or may not have a Doppelwanker, it is certain that some of us do. There is significant proof of this, despite the fact that the so-called scientific circles see the Doppelwanker as a figment of a totally deranged and downright dirty mind. [1]
edit History of the Doppelwanker; history of the usage of the exact term
The exact first use of the term is lost in the history of time, but by the outbreak of the First World War a number of German Infantry were using the phrase in dispatches from France, specifically linked to the synchronised masturbatory festivals they witnessed there.
Within modern times the term is most often witnessed within online community porn sites such as Chatroulette, usually by fat&shit teenagers upon discovering another individual demonstrating a similar style in approaching the vinegar strokes.
edit How to find your Doppelwanker most effectively
This is perhaps the easiest thing in the whole Doppelwanker phenomenon. You will only need to log onto Facebook and describe your masturbation methods in detail. You can be certain a large number of similarly obsessed people will cheer your methods and discoveries as brilliant. A buck gets you fifty those are all your Doppelwankers!
An alternative method of locating your Doppelwanker is to crack one off in a public place were others are likely to be doing the same, such as city parks, public toilets or your front lawn. If there is nobody around, you can just follow the trails of cum that wankers traditionally ooze in their wake.[2]
edit What to do when you find your Doppelwanker?
This problem hasn't been worked out yet. It is obvious that since both you and your wank-double are (mostly) masturbators and even share the exact same methods, any kind of relationship would be futile. You could always have a masturbation party, however, if you feel so inclined.[3]
Some within the scientific community point out the dangers of proximity of Doppelwankers. The more intense the masturbator the higher the levels are of something catastrophic occurring. Masturbators who utilise expert techniques such as the "thumb brake", the "flickswitch", the "slapcock", "juggling metal balls under your antlers like Moses", and "zombie whittling" [4] are thought to be of such great risk should two Doppelwankers meet that many countries have strict guidelines to prevent meetings from occuring.
edit Footnotes
- ↑ The scientific circles are filled with fucking perverts. They deny orgasm - and as a result, their balls fill until they burst. This is true. It really is. That's why laboratories are always filled with professor cum.
- ↑ Sometimes a wanker has milked himself so dry that no trail can be spotted. In such a case, there is nothing much to be done except wait for the next opportunity. A letdown, isn't it?
- ↑ Needless to say, if you are gay, you can always shout "suck my cock!" or "flick my clit!" Some wankers still go for ordinary sechs. I mean, ordinary to gays. I'm not gay myself. I really am not.
- ↑ Approximately the same as "flogging a dead whores"

I just want to go through a number of channels blip-tv, and youtube to understand some information! Do not want to do anything! Of course, do not touch the legal issues! Thank you for the help!I think if it is the Chinese Government that has blocked access to blip-tv, youtube, and probably many other sites, do you really want to find a way to "break" that restriction.
I think that would be a very bad move considering what a government force can do to an individual. From what I understand they are insanely brutal in China, but I could be wrong, can't believe everything I hear or read.

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. and Italian coffee roaster Luigi Lavazza SpA have unveiled their jointly developed Keurig Rivo Cappuccino and Latte System for the home market.
The Rivo system uses Keurig's single-cup technology to brew authentic espresso-based beverages, and froths fresh milk from the machine's refrigerated compartment. It brews Lavazza espresso blends supplied in proprietary coffee pods; it does not accept traditional K-Cups.
The machine offers two espresso sizes: short (1.4 fl.oz.) or lungo (2.8 fl.oz.). It has three frothing modes, allowing preparation of cappuccino or latte as well as cold frothing.
The new Keurig Rivo will be sold exclusively at select Bloomingdales stores for $229.99 beginning in mid-November, and is expected to become more widely available by spring.
The Rivo debut follows Green Mountain's launch of the single-cup Keurig Vue earlier this year. The V1200 Vue commercial model, which began shipping this fall, allows users to customize the strength, size and temperature of their beverages, It is said to be the first brewer in the industry to incorporate RFID technology in its portion packs to control brew settings.
Both the Rivo and the Vue are designed to accept their own proprietary coffee pods rather than Keurig's well-known K-cups. The Rivo brewer goes head to head with Starbucks Corp.'s single-cup Verismo espresso machine launched in September. The major difference is that Rivo uses fresh milk, while Verismo uses powdered milk in pods.
Green Mountain has been facing increased competition since certain patents relating to the design of its K-Cups expired this fall, leading rival coffee roasters and private-label brands -- including Kraft's Maxwell House and the Safeway and Kroger's supermarket chains -- to produce Keurig-compatible portion packs.

Beijing — For hundreds of years, men have dreamed of building a canal across Nicaragua, conquering this volatile land of volcanoes and rainforests and breaking Panama's monopoly on global shipping.
On Tuesday that dream came a step closer to reality as a Chinese entrepreneur unveiled his route for a 274-kilometre, pounds 26-billion waterway from the Pacific to the Caribbean.
If Wang Jing pulls off the feat, it will rank as one of the greatest engineering marvels in history.
Sitting in the offices of his telecommunications company in an industrial park north of Beijing, Mr. Wang, 40, is clearly very serious and determined.
"I am 100% certain the construction will begin in December 2014 and we will finish in five years in 2019," he said.

He added that while a feasibility report is unfinished, "the framework" of the project has been decided.
Beginning at the Pacific port of Brito…

From $1.565 million
206-443-1521 or fifteentwentyone.com
SEATTLE -- All but four of the 143 condominiums at Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue have been sold, generating more than a quarter-billion dollars in residential closings since its completion in 2009.
The four remaining homes are each C plans and are priced from $1.565 million. They are located on the southeast corner of the tower and offer wraparound views of the downtown Seattle skyline as well as protected vistas of Elliott Bay over Pike Place Market.
The 1,734-square-foot, two-bedroom floor plan includes floor-to-ceiling glass, hardwood floors, a custom-to-project kitchen, 5-foot-wide hallways and 8-foot-high doorways. The master bathroom has a bubble-jet tub and private water closet.
"Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue is the product of a 'dream team' who shared a mission to develop the region's finest high-rise residential community," says Tom Parsons of OPUS Northwest Residential, the firm that developed the tower. "By listening carefully to the marketplace, we challenged the status quo and built a community of all penthouse-style residences -- far different from the typical development format found elsewhere. And despite the market correction and its more recent rebound, Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue remains alone in its class today. I have a feeling that it always will."
Parsons says successful partnerships between OPUS and project visionary William Justen, Weber-Thompson Architects, Susan Marinello Interiors, and the sales and marketing teams at Citrone of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty contributed to the project's success.
"In fact, many team members actually became homeowners," he says. "That's the ultimate validation. When individuals on your development team -- including your architect, marketing and sales teams and even your mortgage lender -- buy into the project itself, that says they believe in the product and the value."
Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue was designed so that every residence is at least a two-bedroom home with an average of 2,000 square feet of living space. Features include the Glass Room, an indoor/outdoor space with operating window panels for use in all seasons.
Homeowners have access to a penthouse-level amenity area with two view terraces above the city for barbecuing or entertaining fireside.
The community is located on Second Avenue between Pike and Pine streets, and is just a few steps from Pike Place Market and numerous urban amenities. Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue is also positioned to benefit from the billion-dollar waterfront park that will replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

Jeezy plans to not hold back with new album
Listen to Jeezy on iHeartRadio
Jeezy isn't holding anything back in his upcoming album. In a video teaser released over the weekend, the rapper announced that he's at work on his fifth album. Jeezy explains that when he first came into the spotlight, he restrained himself from talking about a number of aspects of his life out of fear that he could have gotten "in a lot of trouble." However, now he says "the statute of limitations is over with" and he can be more open with his music. Jeezy adds that his upcoming album is the first time he will be able to be fully open about his life.
The teaser also featured appearances by possible collaborators such as Usher, Future and Ludacris, as well as DJ Drama and Don Cannon.

/ Soil Health - There Is Life Underneath Your Feet
(l-r) Brian Glenn, Lawrence County Farmers Federation President; Jimmy Parnell, Alabama Farmers Federation President; participate in the infiltration test (left) and the slake test (right) with David Lamm, NRCS.
Auburn, Ala., August 16, 2013 –
David Lamm, National Soil Health and Sustainability Team Leader, was in Alabama to kick-off the Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) Soil Health Initiative. Lamm spoke at the Alabama Farmers Federation's Annual Commodity Conference in Birmingham on the importance of taking care of the soil.
"There is life underneath your feet," said Lamm. "Soil is a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans. Too often we focus on what's happening on top of the ground rather than what's happening below." Soil has a biological, a physical and a chemical component. It functions by cycling nutrients, regulating water, filtering pollutants, and providing a habitat for biodiversity and microorganisms. "Soil is a habitat you need to manage so it will thrive and flourish." added Lamm.
Lamm used the slake test to illustrate how highly disturbed soil particles separate in water versus soil that has not been tilled. Tillage can destroy organic matter and structure along with the habitat that soil organisms need. The soil that was not tilled had organic matter attached and did not separate when placed in water. We want water to infiltrate and not run-off. Understanding soil functions helps restore soil health. If you see earthworms in your field, you know you have organic matter. Earthworms contribute nutrients, improve tilth, porosity, and root development. Low or absent earthworm populations indicate little or no organic residue, high soil temperature and low moisture that are stressful to crop production.
To improve soil health, disturb it less, plant cover crops, use plant diversity, and grow living roots during the year. Keep it covered as much as possible to control erosion, suppress weeds, and conserve moisture.
Focusing on soil health will reduce the risks associated with crop production through improvements in drought mitigation, nutrient cycling, and soil retention.
Eight Alabama farmers have become Soil Health Champions and are helping spread the word about the benefits they have experienced. Visit www.al.nrcs.usda.gov and click on "soil health" to learn more.

Slayer plans to include Hanneman on next album
Listen to Slayer on iHeartRadio
Slayer's Tom Araya says he wants to include the group's late guitarist Jeff Hanneman on the band's next album.
The rocker tells Loudwire.com they have two Hanneman songs that are ready to go. He explains that in the year before Jeff died he presented several ideas to the group, including one complete song.
Tom says the other track is a song he and Jeff originally wrote for the album World Painted Blood. He admits they were never really satisfied with the song, which is why it wasn't included on their 2009 album, but they've now finished the track. Araya adds that there could be other contributions from Hanneman as well.
He says he hasn't "had the privilege of going through his audio files" yet, but he plans to listen to the material with the hope that he can find a way to used the music Jeff left behind.
Hanneman, who was a founding member of Slayer, died of liver failure back in May.

CUCM 7.1 LDAP Integration with Microsoft AD
Can someone please help? I am having difficulties populating my end user database in CUCM 7.1 with AD accounts that I want. Here is my dilemma.
I can configure my LDAP Directory settings within CUCM 7.1 with the follow LDAP User Search Base...
/* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}
This works. My active end user list will be populated with all of the AD objects. However, this includes a lot of accounts I do not want to show up.
Now, from one of my domain controllers I can create a query that returns only users who have any value in their ipPhone account attribute. It looks like this...
Is there anyway to combine these search criterias in CUCM 7.1 so my end user list is populated from my company's AD with only the accounts I want?

What's with the huge home button area?
Wow it's pretty much the same as every other case design for every other iPhone
So how exactly are you supposed to fit a case with any legitimate protection on a phone with an edge-to-edge screen without it interfering with the "Q" and "P" keys on the keyboard in Portrait mode or the Spacebar in Landscape mode?
I hope Apple tweaked the keyboard to where those buttons aren't nearly impossible to press with a case that has raised edges like the Otterbox Defender and the AGF Ballistic HC case.
idk the circle around the apple looks rather poorly aligned
blahhh iPhone 4's flat sides are easier to hold than 3G/s. Don't want this rounded edge junk again.
I would be fine with a back simillar to the iPad 2's unibody back but if it's the same plastic I'll be VERY disappointed. IMHO the i4 is by far the best design as far as looks, feel and over all quality. No matter what it looks like I will of course be picking it up on pre-order but I have my fingers crossed for a non plastic back.
Edge to edge screen will look UGLY unless Apple are using AMOLED so when the phones in standby you can not see where the screen panel is. So its ALL black.
This reeks fake all over it! I can't see apple turning back the clock to go back to an old inferior design, just isn't apple.

At Work
Heroine Worship: Talking with Kate ZambrenoBy Christopher Higgs
Kate Zambreno's first book, O Fallen Angel, won Chiasmus Press's "Undoing the Novel" First Book Contest, and her second book, Green Girl, was a finalist for the Starcherone Innovative Fiction Prize. So it should come as no surprise that her provocative new work, Heroines, published by Semiotext(e)'s Active Agents imprint next month, challenges easy categorization, this time by poetically swerving in and out of memoir, diary, fiction, literary history, criticism, and theory. With equal parts unabashed pathos and exceptional intelligence, Heroines foregrounds female subjectivity to produce an impressive and original work that examines the suppression of various female modernists in relation to Zambreno's own complicated position as a writer and a wife. It concludes by bringing the problems of the modernists into conversation with the contemporary by offering a timely consideration of the role of the Internet and blogs in creating a community for women writers.
What was it about the modernist wives that first interested you?
I think I came to the wives through an initial discovery of more neglected modernist women writers—Olive Moore, Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, maybe I'd add Jean Rhys to that list. I was living in London working in a bookshop and not doing much in terms of trying to write a novel, so I pitched to Chad Post at Dalkey that I write an essay on Kavan. And because I had nothing else to do, I sat in the British Library and read everything by her. And started reading all these other experimental women writers, like Elizabeth Smart—not the Mormon abductee, but the one obsessed with the poet George Barker, an obsession she documents in the amazing By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept. Not a modernist, I know, but I sat at the British Library and read the communal notebook she kept with Barker and thought about Vivien(ne)'s hand on "The Waste Land" manuscript. I began to be really interested in ideas of literary collaboration.

Adding new ceiling fan remote controls
There are many "universal" ceiling fan remote control kits on the market for overhead fans controlled by pull chains and a singe wall switch. All of them feature on/off and fan speed control. Others also offer light-dimming and thermostatic control capabilities. But whether you can use a ceiling fan remote kit depends on the amount of free space inside the fan canopy.
Many "ceiling hugger"–style fans have enough free space for the receiver for the ceiling fan remote. But "down-rod" styles may not. Shut off the circuit breaker to the fan and lower the canopy (use a voltage sniffer to make sure the power is really off). Check the fit of the receiver before you commit to wiring it in permanently. Keep your receipt just in case.
With the power off, connect the hot and neutral wires to the "AC-in" wires on the receiver. Then connect the three remaining wires to the fan and light (they're labeled by the manufacturer).
If you have neighbors nearby, you may have to change the frequency on the ceiling fan remote transmitter and receiver to prevent you or your neighbors from controlling one another's fans (see Photo 2).
Fixing ceiling fan problems
A ceiling fan can run nonstop for years without a hint of a problem. Then, out of the blue, it can quit completely, stop working on some speeds or start making a loud humming sound. You may think the motor is shot, but it's probably not. Those are all symptoms of a burned-out capacitor. The capacitor and the pull chain switch are the only two components that control the fan speeds. Switches rarely wear out. But they can break if you pull the chain too hard or it gets caught in the blades. You can hedge your bets and replace both the capacitor and the switch in less than an hour for about $20. Here's how.
Start by shutting off the power to the fan and the lights (if equipped). You'll have to gain access to the housing where the speed and direction switches are located. In fans without lights, just remove the bottom cover. Double-check the power with a voltage sniffer before you stick your fingers in the housing. If your fan has lights, remove the globes and bulbs. Then remove the light kit. That'll expose the wiring in the housing.
Next, remove the capacitor (Photo 1, below). A burned-out capacitor might have a burned smell, swollen sides or scorch marks. Those are sure signs it's bad. But even if yours appears to be in good shape, replace it anyway because it's still the most likely cause of your speed/humming problem (Photo 2, below). If you have any doubts about the fan switch, replace it, too. Remove the pull-chain switch by unscrewing the knurled outer knob. Pull the switch into the housing and disconnect the wires. Take both pieces to a ceiling fan or appliance parts store to get replacements. If you don't have a local source for parts, go to eceilingfans.com. Click on the "Capacitors" or "Wall Switches" tab to match each to a replacement. Finish the job by connecting the new parts and tucking everything back into the housing (Photo 3).
Fixing A Ceiling Fan Remote Control
Ceiling fans with factory remote controls don't use traditional capacitors to control fan speed. The remote receiver varies the voltage and current to change the fan motor speed. But ceiling fan remote control units can go bad too. Before you even think about tearing the fan apart to diagnose a problem, replace the batteries in the transmitter first. Then press the transmitter buttons to see if the LEDs light up. If you're not sure whether the problem is in the transmitter or receiver, you can send both units to eceilingfans.com for testing (testing and repair usually run about $25). The receiver is usually tucked into the fan's mounting bracket, which is connected to the electrical box.

Today's edit
This page has today been edited by someone who has just created a(nother) The Casual Vacancy Wiki. The edits s/he made have been reverted; not surprisingly, since:
- Giving one link to your wiki may be legitimate promotion of a fellow wiki related to this one; giving three such links is more akin to spamming. One is quite enough, and that one should be in the links section at the end.
- The third link wasn't appended to the links section as it should have been; instead, it overwrote (and thus removed) the (legitimate) existing link to the established wiki on this subject — an act of blatant vandalism.
To my mind, if there is to be only one link to an external wiki from this page, it should be to the one founded in September by DarkArtsProdigy. Apart from being older, that one is also better laid-out, less screamingly psychedelic and hence less migraine-inducing, and has a more attractive wordmark than the new one. Also, DarkArtsProdigy has a much better attitude than Aequus156.
What does anyone else think? — RobertATfm (talk) 15:00, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm willing to allow one link to an alternative wiki, but I agree generally that the two should be merged. ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:25, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Aequus156 has now replied to my post on the alternative TCV wiki to accuse me of being "shallow" — thereby, as will become apparent, providing a confirming instance of the old saying "it takes one to know one", especially since Aequus156 was also suffering the delusion that I founded the first TCV wiki (something it would have taken only a few clicks to check). Aequus156 also complained (with poor grammar) that the background image for the first TCV wiki isn't a seamless tiling; an irrelevant and nitpickity point, since the joins usually aren't visible anyway. Aequus156 also edited ProfessorTofty's post to that talk page to make it appear that he'd said that it was the old wiki, rather than the new one, which should be taken down; a very rude and nasty thing to do. Finally, Aequus156's response to my reply to his/her post was to delete the entire thread; showing yet again that s/he is incapable of handling even valid criticism, and is a vandal besides, hence is not competent to be editing any wiki, much less running one. — RobertATfm (talk) 21:03, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed, completely childish. Based on this, I think would be better to just have the link to only the one wiki. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:24, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
Interwiki links
The link to the newer TCV wiki has today been added yet again, so I've reverted the edit. The link added was inefficiently formatted in any case; interwiki links should be internal, e.g. ((w:c:otherwiki)), not external, such as (http://otherwiki.wikia.com/wiki).
I'm currently of the opinion that there shouldn't be a link from this page to any TCV wiki; there are two such, but one of them (the one currently linked) was founded by someone who ran it for only ten days before giving up on it, and who, although they still regularly log in and hence presumably get informed of all the messages left on their talk page requesting adminship (from two people who have proven admin track records on other wikis), simply ignores all such messages; whilst the other is run by someone who I think is too egotistical and too non-cognisant of the wiki ethos to really be a good wiki editor, and the last time I checked the wiki in question, I found it painful to look at due to its screaming colour scheme.
I've seriously been thinking of founding a third TCV wiki, so that there will be one without the faults of the other two; the problem is that I couldn't then add the link to it to this page, as I don't want to be seen to be promoting myself. -- RobertATfm (talk) 07:46, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- If you do found it, let me know and I'll join it and support it, and if you want me to be an admin, I can, though I can't guarantee how much time I'll put into it. And if you manage to obtain a decent following and setup, I'd be happy to allow a link here. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:28, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- P.S. - casualvacancy.wikia.com is still available. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:29, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I was thinking more of tcv.wikia.com (the His Dark Materials wiki is hdm.wikia.com); one of the problems with both the present wikis is that the URL is uncomfortably long, making linking to it more difficult than it needs to be. -- RobertATfm (talk) 23:40, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- P.S. - casualvacancy.wikia.com is still available. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:29, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
