Pinhole Phimosis
September 30 2008 at 6:34 AM

I am sufferring from pinhole phimosis. Some years ago, I started putting cylindrical objects (e.g. Chopsticks) in the orifice. Sometimes it works, but more often, it hurts a bit (no bleeding but just feel pain) on the foreskin and as it cures itself scars are built and the hole gets smaller and smaller.
After another hurts caused several days ago, it really looks like a pinhole and it takes 5 minutes for a pee. These days, I use some cosmetic tool (not sharp but can put in the hole) to keep the hole wide enough to pee.
I believed I may have a relatively complicated case as I don't think stretching will work for me. Is it fungal infection or something? Can I just try using anti-fungal ointment with no harm?

Fungus very likely
September 30 2008, 9:18 AM
You'd really have to cause some damage to have the reaction you describe. The pain would probably keep you from doing it, so it's very likely something else which is preventing the hole from enlarging.
Try treating for yeast and see what happens. Yes, no harm will come from using it.

Thank you for your reply.
Just to explore possibilities, I only got 'hurt' feeling (kind of little pain/heat at the opening), but my skin is soft with no crack or red spots or so. Other than fungus, could it be tiny wounds I got from stretching/enlarging?
About the cream, should I apply it when I still have that 'hurt' feeling? Should I do the exercise at the same time?

Good questions
September 30 2008, 7:38 PM
If something is hurting, it's a strong indication something is wrong. I think you need to treat it. The exercise can wait a while till the issue of redness and pain or heat is taken care of. Hopefully, this won't take long.

Yes, I am going to give tea tree oil ointment a try first.
For the exercise, I only insert the tool in the morning to keep a reasonable opening width. It usually gets smaller after a night's sleep.
Thanks again for your help.

More information to work with.
October 1 2008, 6:17 AM
Good. The more genuine information we have to work with, the more completely we will be able to help.
Firstly, I
need to know where you are in life, roughly what experiences you have had (partner, children, etc) and most specifically, whether you could ever retract your foreskin fully, what happened in childhood, and so on.
You are saying you do
have any visible cracking or injury. I wonder therefore, why you are talking about "tiny wounds I got from stretching" and "as it cures itself scars are built"? I recognise with a fair degree of certainty, this language as the common mythology of the circumcision "fetish" sites and some commercial interests who profiteer from circumcision, and it may indeed have crept into some medical parlance even though it is entirely contrary to medical principle and ethical practice.
There is no such thing as "invisible scarring" or "micro-tears", or at least no such thing in relation to a process of deliberate stretching. Now there actually
a disease called "Lichen Sclerosis" (which I have discussed previously in detail
on this forum
) which does cause progressive scarring within the skin, quite independent of trauma (such as stretching), and if you had this, you would certainly need to see a competent dermatologist (that is a skin specialist) who would arrange for you to use either the betamethasone I mention, or an even stronger topical steroid, as long as necessary to control the condition.
Note that some dermatologists (and again, particularly in America) might show indifference to your problem and suggest you have a circumcision, but it is salutary to note that circumcision is certainly
the treatment of choice when this condition occurs in the same area in women (which it does substantially more frequently than in men). The condition is also called "Lichen Sclerosis et Atrophicus" (LSA) and in reference to the foreskin, "Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans" (BXO) which is somewhat descriptive of the condition, but quite unhelpful in general and these terms are deprecated by doctors whose knowledge is current.
As you may see from those earlier threads, I think LS is
where you have had this restriction essentially from birth, but not impossible. The use of the steroid would seem to be desirable for this degree of restriction whether or not the problem actually is LS, it is simply that with LS it is
I am concerned that you may not be stretching accurately and effectively. In general, to get a dilating instrument to pass through the opening, you need to stretch the foreskin
(lengthwise) so that the passage is straight and the instrument will not become caught against folds inside the opening. Given that you can introduce an instrument
all the way through the opening, you need an instrument that either opens outward, or is progressively tapered (though as there is limited depth of the space under the foreskin, this may not allow for much enlargement).
The "Glansie" is designed for such a purpose and particularly for the degree of tightness you describe, though it becomes much less practical as the opening is enlarged to the order of 10 mm, at which point I would much favour the
Whatever you use as a dilator
have very smooth, blunt surfaces with no rough edges at any time. Your use of chopsticks sounds quite reasonable as they are prepared to be smooth, though they are not tapered as much as you might like and are of course, far too long.
With such a tight opening, it clearly
take longer even when you get the manoeuvres and the medications right, so a dilator adapted more to extended or continuous wearing, such as the "
flesh tunnels
" discussed here previously, might be the most suitable.
Finally, the antifungal cream can be used liberally and there is unlikely to be harm using it at the same time as stretching, perhaps making use of its lubricant properties (though the proper "surgical" or "personal" lubricant may be better). On the other hand, if you obtain the betamethasone ointment, it should only be used in the tiniest amount sufficient to apply to the tight part of the foreskin, without leaving an excess to transfer to the glans or anywhere else. It should
be used immediately before or during stretching as that would almost certainly tend to spread it unnecessarily.
That is what comes to mind at present; do keep in touch!

Things which may have been missed
September 30 2008, 3:19 PM
So, this problem has always been the case, or were you ever able to retract your foreskin? It would be illustrative if we knew your age, how long you have perceived this problem, and whether you are sexually active (since fungal problems may relate to this), and in what country you reside?
In any case, if your foreskin opening is becoming narrower, it clearly indicates some disease process. In such a situation, you
need to use an antifungal for a start. You also
benefit from the use of betamethasone ointment
in addition
to the antifungal. If you do a good deep read back through the forum here, you will see that we have discussed these things in detail.
If you could find a doctor who
such matters (and most American "urologists"
do not
, but the
sites offer pointers to doctors who should), it would help with the prescription of such a medication (the antifungals are of course "over-the counter") and some guidance on just how much force in using a dilator is likely to be appropriate.
If you have not been using a lubricant (standard "personal" or surgical one) to do the stretching, then this may well be difficult and traumatic, hopefully that may be the solution to your difficulties. Stretching should be only marginally painful, and correctly performed will
be the cause of scarring (on which point you may well have been misled by "information" elsewhere).

Re: Things which may have been missed

I can never retract my foreskin, and since birth the orifice has never been bigger than 1 cm in diameter.
I am now 34 and the symptom has been with me for about 8 years. I am gay and I only do hand job and oral sex. However, I am not sexually active anymore and I only do masturbation. I live in Hong Kong.
For betamethasone, I have used it for about a month several years ago, but now I would prefer a non-steroid approach.
Doctors here mostly will try to talk me into circumcision.
I use vaseline as lubricant.
Thanks for your help.

More things
October 1 2008, 3:43 PM
OK, clearly my reply dated "October 1 2008, 6:17 AM" was submitted before yours here was actually posted, so thank you for the specific details about your situation.
One cm would have been quite a decent starting point from which to stretch to "normal", if you had that much of an opening, it would be quite easy to use the
GFS device
. Clearly,
happened eight years ago which has caused the present situation and I think we have to accept that the skin is diseased in some manner. This suggests to me that you
need to use the betamethasone in addition to an antifungal despite your "preference"; the situation is relatively serious.
I suspect that in Hong Kong, betamethasone 0.1% ointment is in fact, procurable without a doctor's prescription. The fact that the doctors there will mostly try to talk you into circumcision indicates more their lack of knowledge of alternatives, than any deliberate malevolent design, though they may of course, profit from performing surgery. I presume that in that culture, they are more sympathetic to your desire to have a normal foreskin, than in America where ritual circumcision is so common.
"Hand jobs" and oral sex would seem to be relatively unlikely to introduce Candida ("thrush") to your foreskin, than vaginal intercourse, while solo masturbation has a pretty negligible risk
of course, you practice anal manipulation as part of masturbation in which case it is a huge risk. The anus is the
source of contamination with Candida in both sexes, simply because Candida is a contaminant of food and can actually proliferate in the bowel. Obviously anal intercourse, irrespective of the partner's sex, is "asking for trouble" from Candida infection.
Vaseline is fine as a lubricant for this purpose - and is also the base for the betamethasone ointment in any case.

Re: More things
October 2 2008, 7:34 AM
betamethasone 0.1% needs doctor's prescription here, not decided yet..For antifungal, I am using 3% Tea Tree Oil ointment as a start.
Today's update:
One point on the skin around the orifice hurts a bit when I put in my stretching tool (kinda cosmetic tool) until it gets stuck. Aiming to make a bigger hole, I tried to put in more..The orifice becomes a bit bigger now, however, when I pee just now, it seems to have 1 to 2 "wound" points and they cause more pain. No bleeding found.
Am I still in a state of "infection" or "inflammation"? I have had a little white discharges a few days ago (after a night's sleep), but not now.

October 2 2008, 12:44 PM
The tea tree oil is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial, so it should take care of any infection. One problem is that it can irritate delicate tissue. The glans and the inner lining of the foreskin are composed of mucosa, which could react unfavorably to the oil. Has this happened yet?
What consistency was the discharge? Was it watery, creamy or flaky?
no login
Re: OK
October 2 2008, 5:29 PM
My ointment is 70% aloe vera and 3% Tea Tree Oil. With 3% only, I think it doesn't react in any visible way as I didn't find any.
The discharge is just white and watery. As opposed to what I may think of a fungal infection should be, there aren't any flakes found for me.
So, I am not so sure about my condition here..
My symptom is the skin around my orifice gets hurt easily (usually start at any one point) as I insert a tool for stretching 1 to 2 times a daym with vaseline as lubricant.
When it gets hurt, and if I continue to do the exercise, I get something like an infection (pain at point of hurt when urine passes thro', occasional white discharge and no bleeding). After it recovers, the orifice gets smaller. If I am in good luck, I can then stretch it again to a size before the hurt.
Is it more like a fungal infection or I am just working to hard on it? If it is the former, I think it should not be a serious infection since I don't have a thrush or flakes or itchy. For the latter, heard from you guys that the skin should be quite elastic enough..(or because mine is no more since I have scars?)

Defining the actual problem
October 2 2008, 2:56 PM
Frankly, I'm not so keen on the Tea-tree oil as an effective antifungal and I certainly couldn't guarantee that it would not cause irritation and inflammation in itself. I would prefer to see you using a known pharmaceutical such as clotrimazole, miconazole or even fluconazole by mouth.
And your description of a "white discharge"
suggests that the overall problem is a fungal infestation. Now, if you have fungus (Candida; "Thrush") hiding under the foreskin, then the obvious problem is - how are you going to get at it? Well, you have two options, one is the oral fluconazole (Diflucan; Canesoral) and the other is to get one of the other creams into the space under the foreskin.
There's the point: I am concerned about exactly what it is you are doing with your "cosmetic instrument" (and indeed, just what sort of instrument it is - I have been presuming that it might be something that resembles the "Glansie"). As things stand, you should have a space under your foreskin, between the glans and the inner part of the foreskin; this space should extend all around the glans (except for the frænulum underneath) and should extend to the back of the glans - the "corona" or ridge that defines the extent of the glans.
We refer on this forum to the "balloon test" in which you hold the foreskin opening shut as you pee, so that this space inflates into a nice
balloon which then conceals the glans entirely. If you are having difficulty peeing at a normal rate, then this is what should be happening
every time
you pee and I am surprised that you have not mentioned it. If it is
happening, then either your foreskin is completely adherent to your glans, which would indicate quite severe and chronic inflammation (and indeed, make the stretching process far more difficult; beyond what we could hope to assist you with simply through advice here,) or else you are confused as to which part of your penis is which, and actually have a meatal stenosis rather than a narrow foreskin.
Given that
your foreskin is pronouncedly "ballooning" whenever you pee, and in proportion to the difficulty that you have peeing, then it will demonstrate to you that there is such a space under the foreskin and whenever you introduce an instrument, it should pass through the narrow part and into that space
with no difficulty or discomfort whatsoever
. If you have an instrument like the "Glansie", it can then be gently opened out to provide the appropriate stretch to the tight foreskin.
If you have a tapered instrument (with more taper than the chopsticks), then it should be able to be passed just into the space under the foreskin as I say with no difficulty, and
passed further in to provide the stretching, as far as the distance between the front of the glans and the back (the corona) allows. Clearly, to do this requires an instrument with a particular taper
the tip; they exist but I cannot find a reference to such.
In any case, I mentioned before that in order to get the instrument to pass through the tight part of the foreskin, you need to stretch the foreskin
as you insert it. Similarly, to get the antifungal creams into the space under the foreskin, you have to place the nozzle of the tube of cream against the tip of the foreskin, then hold the foreskin over the nozzle so that it makes a seal, then gently squeeze a bit of the cream through the foreskin opening into the space underneath. Once you have a little of the cream inside, you can massage it around so that it spreads all through that space.

Re: Defining the actual problem
October 3 2008, 6:45 PM
Since the clotrimazole and miconazole are sold under doctor's prescription here, I am using tea tree oil ointment as a starting point. I can only find tolnaftate over the counter, will it work?
My cosmetic instructment is a kind of taper. For my case, my foreskin opening is only 1mm!! The tool is needle shaped (but no shape) and I can put in for about 1 cm. I applied the ointment on the outside of the hole and use the tool to get some inside.
For ballooning, yes, I have several inflammation/infection before and my glan adheres with the foreskin. When I pee, only the part near the tip swells a bit.
More on my symptom, the foreskin is actually a bit swellen (thicker) near the opening. When I just pee, it still hurts. Before bed, I got a little (1~2 drops) watery transparent discharge with a bad smell.
Paul B.
October 5 2008, 5:53 AM
It does sounds as if you are in a very difficult situation there. Tolnaftate is a somewhat weaker antifungal to my mind - but may well be effective (I just took a look at it on my software - there are five or six listings for products using it; sometimes in combination - it is claimed to be quite unlikely to cause a sensitisation reaction).
I fear I have little more to offer; I have described as well as I can the technique of "injecting" some of a suitable antifungal cream under the foreskin and massaging it around. You clearly have a particularly
(longstanding) inflammation which will take some time to treat.
I have to say that it sounds as if you would be best served by a doctor with competence in this particular area but I have no idea how you would go about finding one. Clearly, you would need to avoid being referred to any doctor with the title of a "urologist" - it is a skin specialist or dermatologist that you need unless you can find a "generalist" ("GP" or "family physician") who takes a serious interest in your concern. Circumcision is somewhat farcical, as it would involve stripping any adhesions you may have developed to the glans, so in effect it would involve even more damage.

Feedline for Southland and South Otago
26 February 2012
Federated Farmers reopens Feedline for Southland and South Otago farmers tomorrow
Following a particularly dry summer in southern New Zealand, Federated Farmers will reopen its Feed Information Line following indication some farmers could run short of feed. Usually reliable winter feed crops were late establishing effectively losing two growing months. The line will be live from Monday 27 February.
"A lack of rain over December and early January means winter feed crops in Southland and southern and coastal Otago have lost up to two growing months," Federated Farmers adverse events spokesman David Rose said.
"Feed crops are necessary in southern New Zealand because grass growth stops for several months over the winter.
"Federated Farmers and DairyNZ are working together to ensure farmers in these areas can source adequate feed for their stock.
"Federated Farmers feed information service is free but as essentially a "dating agency" between suppliers and buyers. As such we take no responsibility for any other issues that may arise.
"Both farmers needing feed and those with surplus feed can call 0800 376 844 from Monday 27 February to add listings to our "Feed Available" or "Feed Needed" lists. It will be open to all farmers, not just dairy.
we have collated the feed types available, this information
will be posted on the Federation's website, www.fedfarm.org.nz.
"Naturally, we're all hoping for a benign autumn which will allow winter feed crops to achieve better yields. However, many farmers are sourcing supplies to make sure they don't run short in winter and we are looking to help," Mr Rose concluded.

Plans are being finalized to allow short-term street parking near the new Porter Ranch Community School, and new signs should be going up by mid-October along Mason Avenue, officials said.
The compromise worked out by City Councilman Mitch Englander will allow parents to park on the east side of Mason Avenue so they can walk their youngsters to and from class without fear of being ticketed. Provisions are being made for longer-term stays for volunteers and campus visitors.
The designated bike lane along that stretch of Mason will be eliminated for six months to make way for the curbside parking spots, officials said. During that time, the city Department of Transportation will determine how to permanently reconfigure the roadway and median strip to accommodate parked cars, bike and traffic lanes.
A parking crunch near the campus emerged soon after the 700-student school opened in mid-August at Mason and Sesnon Boulevard, both major thoroughfares lined with "no-stopping" signs.
The K-8 campus has a parking lot with about 110 spaces, which Los Angeles Unified planners thought would be sufficient for staffers and visitors. But when the school opened with a larger-than-expected kindergarten class of 150 kids, parents found themselves defying the parking ban to escort their youngsters to class.
The Department of Transportation recently installed school zone placards and 25 mph speed limit limit signs after parents complained about speeding motorists.

If branding is about steering a collectively held positive perception, what do you need to think about to steer your brand on the right course?
It's time to get planning, thinking and looking objectively and creatively at your business!
Back to basics first
Get some of the basics clear. Who are you targeting, what do your customers need, what do they think, what's on their agenda, what worries or delights them. Then take stock of your competitors. Have a good look. What are they doing well? What are they saying about themselves?
This sets a backdrop by which you can make decisions about the heart of your brand and the fit it has with your customers. For instance, your customers could be tech or gadget mad. They love the latest thing. Or they could be massively into design and their home appearance. Aesthetic is everything.
Your brand
These are some of the areas to consider to ensure you know what sits at the heart of your business and brand:
Beliefs: What you feel strongly about matters, so beliefs are a lynchpin of any brand. They'll direct the way things are done.
Example: Take Dyson, they work relentlessly to innovate and bring the next great product – they (or should I say Sir James?) believe you're only as good as you're last product.
His people, ethos, ways or working, adverts and products all ooze 'innovation and invention' in support of that belief. Just see what his foundation gives back all in the name of those two important words: innovation and invention.
The result? People are persuaded to buy Dyson because (they believe) they're getting a product that's at the top of the innovation tree and are willing to pay for it.
Personality and behaviours
How your business behaves and acts influences all sorts of business decisions. How you pick up the phone, how you write, even what you put on the company van are all examples of how your brand behaviours can be directive.
On a very simple level a relaxed brand answers the phone with 'Hello', while a more formal and serious business might want to start with 'Good afternoon'.
Examples: Going back to Dyson, they keep the focus on the product – it's the be all and end all. Their personality is all about being exceedingly clever and inventive in a way that's grounded in real life insight.
It's why you feel safe buying their brand, because they're so clever.
With that 'clever inventive' personality trait as direction, it makes decisions about what to put on packaging easy: Dyson make the point that they patent everything they do because it's so advanced. It's never been done, and so they can't be copied.
It's why you get directional balls that go round corners easily, and unique looking fans with no finger slicing blades.
Outside views help
Hopefully you can see why some of the basic questions around your customers are so vital to help you judge how to steer your brand thinking. You can also hopefully start to see how these branding decisions drive so much of your marketing activity and decision-making.
This scratches the surface, and more detailed thinking and planning can be hard. Being your own judge with an ability to push your brand into new, stronger directions is difficult. Objective expertise can really help get the right result (and save on your thinking time too). The rewards of that thinking time are massive, so get thinking, get help if you need it.

Get downtown fairly early, and get a spot near or across from the reviewing stand on Main Street. Foothill and Amador Valley are the first two bands and both are very good. Also appearing will be Granada, Livermore, Dublin, California (San Ramon) and Wells Middle School (Dublin. Stay until the end to see some of the biggest bands that are not from Pleasanton.

Will Amador be participating in this? In the past the marching band has been participating at BOA while this is going on. I heard that this year they are not going to participate in BOA because of the costs for the band families.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

The surfer violated a city ordance, was in the park when it was closed & recieved a disorderly conduct charge. Like it or not, we all live in society of laws. The surfer simply violated the law. Surfing Lake Michigan in the dead of winter is something that would bring attention to anyone. It's not a governemnt conspiracy, its simply the law. The same Police Officers would risk their lives to help him if he needed it & he becomes disorderly when confronted?

I think most of the charge stems from the fact that he was defiant and went into "I'm a surfer and this is my right! Punk Rock!" mode when confronted (according to the article).
They have seasons where you're allowed to surf mainly because they're undermanned (due to the lack of people going into that frigid water) during certain seasons. People can't swim there either - it's not just limited to surfing.
The guy knew he was getting into it to go for a surf - it is what it is.

Title: Alfred and William Waud Collection
The London-born Wauds' specialty was producing drawings--from quick sketches to finished works--of
places, people, and events assigned to them by editors. These drawings were the basis for wood engraved illustrations
in the periodicals published by their employers. Alfred Waud was hired by the New York Illustrated News in 1860 and he
remained with the News for nearly two years covering the opening months of the Civil War before joining the staff of
Harper's Weekly in early 1862. William Waud worked as a special artist during the Civil War for Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper. The Waud Collection presents a visually fascinating history of America in the mid-19th century, covering
visually subjects as diverse as the reconstructed South, and the townships that dotted both banks of the nation's largest
river system.

Title: Charles L. Franck and Franck-Bertacci
Charles L. Franck was a commercial photographer in New Orleans whose individual career and successors covered all but the first decade of the 20th century. In 1955, his studio was purchased by Alfred L. Bertacci Sr., who continued to operate within the same scope of assignments as Franck had done. Tens of thousands of photographs and negatives from the Franck and Franck-Bertacci studios, held at The Collection, chronicle the face and growth of Louisiana, and New Orleans in particular, during the 20th century. The change of the city through its photographed character focuses on major industries (the port, construction, transportation) during a period of racial integration, labor disputes, and urban growth. Social and cultural events–Mardi Gras, weddings, private parties–all feature in the collection as well. As the Franck Collection approaches the present day, the photographs of major building projects (the Louisiana Superdome, bridges across the Mississippi River, nuclear power plants, and petrochemical complexes) touch on issues of suburban and exurban expansion, and environmental issues.

Short term reproductive behaviour of foreign women who became mothers between 2002-2006 in Italy
The rapid increase in the number of foreigners in Italy has raised public interest in their demographic behaviour. In 2001-2007 the annual number of births to at least one foreign parent has more than doubled, from about 41,000 to more than 86,000. The main objective of this study is to give an overview of the demographic characteristics of foreign mothers in Italy. We investigate the risk of having another birth for women who became mothers between 2002 and 2006. The new approach in this study is the application of a deterministic record linkage to Italian administrative data on births, which allows a longitudinal analysis of birth histories. The results show that citizenship remains one of the most important factors in explaining the high heterogeneity in the reproductive behaviour among the mothers. The possibility of an `assimilative behaviour' to fertility patterns of native Italians increases for mothers whose partner is Italian.

Felton Prevails in Six-Year Fight to Acquire Water System from Cal-Am and RWE
"This is great victory for the the citizens of Felton and should inspire other communities to challenge private water utilities that are extorting huge, unjustified rate increases," said Jim Mosher, who heads up Felton FLOW's legal committee.
FELTON, California, May 30, 2008 -- The community of Felton, California today prevailed in its six-year fight to acquire its water system from California-American Water, a subsidiary of the German multinational corporation RWE.
Cal-Am and the San Lorenzo Valley Water District (SLVWD) announced a purchase agreement today, less than a week before the planned start of an eminent domain trial where a jury would have set the value of the water system. SLVWD will make a total cash payment of $10.5 million to acquire the water system, including the 250 acres of forested watershed land, which Cal-Am is donating to SLVWD. In addition, SLVWD will assume the $2.9 million loan that Felton residents have been paying for a new treatment plant.
"This is great victory for the the citizens of Felton and should inspire other communities to challenge private water utilities that are extorting huge, unjustified rate increases," said Jim Mosher, who heads up Felton FLOW's legal committee. "The SLV Water District has done an excellent job representing us and we look forward to having them manage the water system for us."
This is the latest in a series of setbacks for the private water utility. RWE announced in late 2005 that it planned to exit the water market and sell its U.S. holdings in American Water. They couldn't find a buyer, and instead opted for an initial public offering (IPO), which they postponed in November 2007 because of poor market conditions. Despite an even worse market they moved forward with the IPO last month. Shares sold at 10% less than RWE predicted and unenthusiastic buyers only picked up 36% of the expected 40% of shares in the company. RWE announced another stock sale earlier this week at a share price $1 lower than the IPO price.
"Cal-Am's 'donation' of the watershed property is a PR ploy that, in reality, gives them a chance to apply for a big tax break," said FLOW steering committee member Barbara Sprenger. "Felton residents were already paying for the bond for a new treatment plant, so Ca-Am's claims are, at best, disingenuous. The bottom line is that Felton residents will have local control of their water system and we won't be saddled with water bills that largely go to pay overhead expenses that do nothing for Felton."
The SLV Water District has agreed to accept restrictions on the Felton watershed property, which will prohibit development and commercial timber harvesting on the land. These restrictions are consistent with SLV Water District's long-held management policies. Part of Cal-Am's valuation of the property was that they had the right to build large homes and commercially log the forested watershed land.
Felton FLOW will schedule a community meeting at the Felton firehouse to explain the settlement and what it means for residents. The announcement will be posted on the Felton FLOW website (http://www.feltonflow.org shortly.
Felton's water system has been privately owned since the late 1800s. American Water purchased Felton's water system in 2001 as part of its larger acquisition of Citizen's Utilities. Shortly after that acquisition, American Water was acquired by RWE. RWE announced in late 2005 that it was exiting the global water market because it hadn't generated the expected profits, it hadn't done "due diligence" before buying the company and because American Water had failed to maintain the water delivery infrastructure and the required investment would have taken 200 years to complete.

I did edit the prologue script and in my output file, and I get the following at the top of the output file: /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/prologue[53]: cd: /fs/userB1: [No such file or directory] It has to be with the automount. I will reexamine my exports, auto.home, auto.master, etc and see if I can find the problem. The only other issue I see is that on userB, I can only get a FQDN for userB and the nodes. no shortname DNS resolution. Although the nodes can resolve the short hostname for userB without issue. Not sure if this is an issue or not. Thanks for all of your input.

Pictures of Candice Swanepoel in a Bikini in St. Barts
Candice Swanepoel Shows Off Her Sexy VS Body in a Teenie-Weenie Polka-Dot Bikini
Candice Swanepoel flaunted her sexy tan in a tiny pink bikini on the beach in St. Barts today. She modeled multiple two-pieces during her time in front of the cameras for Victoria's Secret, which kicked off when she landed on the Caribbean island earlier this week. Candice is just the latest VS face to show off her figure in the sand, since Alessandra Ambrosio and Bar Refaeli were also recently spotted in skimpy suits. Alessandra headed to Hawaii, where she played in the waves with daughter Anja and tried her hand at paddle boarding, while Bar indulged in a mud treatment from the Dead Sea. Alessandra and Bar were off duty, but Candice wasn't alone during her sunny workweek since fellow model and pal Erin Heatherton also joined her for the shoot.
