German Shepherd Dog > A stamp questions (14 replies)
A stamp questions by CMills on 08 June 2012 - 23:41 |
OK, what is the meaning of this on the back of pink papers: "a" zuerkannt, Bef. normal I know the A is normal, but what is the Zuerkannt part mean? |
by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:01 |
What, no one knows???? |
by Hutchins on 09 June 2012 - 00:16 |
Do a search on "a stamp" on here. You will find your answer there. |
by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:22 |
I did, there was nothing said about the Bef. normal?? |
by B.Andersen on 09 June 2012 - 00:29 |
HD-Zuerkannt (hip dysplasia-awarded) means that the dog is recognized posthumously for progeny whose hip quality was of at least average quality or better. He/she himself was not x-rayed and certified as hip dysplasie-free, but he/she were thought to be hip dysplasie-free because of quality of the hips of the progeny. Typically this was done in the days before the "a" stamp became a requirement. Since the early 1980's the "a" stamp program has been enforced, and you will no longer see this award indicated for dogs born after the late 1970's |
by k9gsd78 on 09 June 2012 - 00:29 |
My understanding is that it means the hips have been rated, but the actual rating (normal, fast-normal, NZ) is not known. |
by Hutchins on 09 June 2012 - 00:32 |
OK Im sorry. I thought that was probably already asked here. |
by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:33 |
So the Bef. normal relates to the hips, or elbows? I was thinking the "a" zuerkannt related to hips, and the Bef. normal was related to elbows? Anyone know for sure? |
by B.Andersen on 09 June 2012 - 00:34 |
Bef means results |
by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:36 |
B.Anderson- this relates to a 3 yr old dog currently living, who has this on the back of his pink papers, I know the part you're talking about, the post-humously awarded it. |
by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:37 |
Thanks to all who helped clear this up for me! |
by Sherman-RanchGSD on 09 June 2012 - 01:07 |
For a dog that is living and you are now recieve the paper work back or is stamped on the pedigree I think it is simply stating what rate was awarded for example: The award or granting of/ awarded or granted it is found to be: _____normal_____ insert the rate. and there is a symbol stamped there from what I remember. that would be my interpretation as a lay person with limited German language skills.... You know how they say * it is lost in the translation* because if you dont have a feel or emotion for the other language then being to literal can sometimes screw you up. Perhaps some one fluent or those that have dogs with SV papers will clue you better..but thats my take. Happy weekend! Debi at the |
by Bhall on 09 June 2012 - 01:57 |
It means a-stamp GRANTED Results a-normal |
by UrsulaGSD on 09 June 2012 - 16:21 |
Hello, "a" zuerkannt for me is an x-ray taken from an older dog, so that the exact result can't be determined due to some wastage of the articulation which occurs with age. Maybe I am wrong, as this was given to a 3-year old dog. Anyway, "zuerkannt" means "granted" without stating the exact grade. Regards, Ursula |
by Hukka on 09 June 2012 - 19:18 |
a=dem Hund ist im SV-HD-Verfahren durch einen Befund "normal", "fast normal", "noch zugelassen" die Bezeichnung a zuerkannt. |

In celebration of Black History Month, we complied a selection of videos from NBC Learn's "Finishing the Dream" to use as an aid to teach the struggles and celebrate the triumphs of the Civil Rights movement over the span of 60 years. Additional material can also be found in the Special Report archive under Martin Luther King, Jr. "Finishing the Dream" is a project by NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Select a video by clicking on a topic below
Back in 1951, 13 black parents sued the Topeka, Kansas school board, charging that their children's segregated education was unconstitutional. The case became famous, known as Brown versus the Board of Education. It wasn't the first case challenging separate but equal laws, but like past cases, it was born out of frustration and dissatisfaction with racial inequities.
Rosa Parks, in refusing to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man, became the mother superior of the civil rights movement. Parks' arrest caused a protest that lasted 381 days, and led to the Supreme Court ruling that segregation in public transportation is unlawful. Despite the changes she brought about, Parks continued to believe that it will be a long time before feelings of white supremacy are completely erased from the United States.
Everyone's heard of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., and learned about their contributions in the civil rights movement. Few, however, are familiar with the name Emmett Till. Till's death, at the hands of two white men in the segregated south, opened American's eyes to that region's racial hatred. Though his killers were not brought to justice for their crimes, Till's legacy lives on in the form of new books and documentaries about him, created to keep his memory and legacy alive.
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling that school segregation was unconstitutional did not end the practice. Many state and local officials continued to bar black students from all-white schools. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to Arkansas to enforce a court order to integrate a high school.
It took the protection of U.S. soldiers for nine black students to enter Little Rock Central High School and integrate its all-white classrooms. But, their challenges didn't end at the schoolhouse door. They had to endure continuing insults and threats from their classmates for the rest of their time in the school.
Four young black men sat in the 'Whites Only' section of their local diner and demanded service. The North Carolina diner had to close down for five months because of the incident. This peaceful action by four black students spread to fifty-four cities within days and contributed to the elimination of segregation from the United States.
In 1961, a small group of activists, both black and whites, decided to travel by bus through the Deep South, where segregation in bus facilities wasn't just the custom, it was the law, and where the simple act of boarding a bus was enough to put one's life on the line. The law stated that waiting areas at bus stations could not be segregated for those traveling between states, but many did not follow this law. The activists, known as the Freedom Riders, rode in protest of this injustice and continued to draw America's attention to the racial violence in the South.
In November 1963, President John F. Kennedy appealed to Americans to support the civil rights of black citizens to equality in education, public accommodations and voting. Days after his speech on the proposed Civil Rights Act, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Dorothy Height was one of the principle planners of the march on Washington on August 28th, 1963, which led to the Civil Rights Act. Height often worked behind the scenes as male civil rights leaders took the spotlight. But, she later became an adviser to presidents and received the nation's highest civilian honors.
A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2009 permitted the continued enforcement of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, but some justices questioned whether the act is still necessary.
In 1968, athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos placed the struggle for civil rights on a world stage when they raised their fists on the winners' podium at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City. They wanted to draw attention to the treatment of African Americans in the U.S. The men were suspended from the U.S. team and sent home.

Can anyone confirm?

It feels good to have affirmation about spreading the story. Yesterday I spoke to about a hundred DOE employees in Albuquerque — a program sponsored by the Federal Women's Program. The program was terrific. I started out by saying that I suspected history might not have been their favorite subject in school and got them laughing at my past associations in history class: yawning, daydreaming, watching the clock and waiting for the bell to ring. Then I followed up by saying that I didn't intend to lecture them, but rather instead tell them a story and show them photos about my grandmother and family's association with my grandmother's suffrage campaign wagon. My grandmother, Edna Buckman Kearns, is an example of the tens of thousands of women across the U.S. who worked together to win the vote. History is much more interesting with a personal angle. I found this to be especially true when I spoke to high school history students at the New Mexico School for the Arts in late February.
The suffrage campaign wagon used by Edna Buckman Kearns.

Once upon a time, one could look down the road along Fort Lauderdale beach and inland along U.S. 1 and see flat land and the occasional scrubby palmetto as far as the eye could see. Now villages meld into adjoining towns, towns into cities, suburbs into each other and the entire county has become one sprawling megalopolis that stretches from the sea to the Everglades and from the northern border of Miami to the southern border of Palm Beach and beyond.
South of Fort Lauderdale is Hollywood, which has a small but significantly entertaining downtown area built around one of the several big traffic circles that characterize the city. Thanks to a redevelopment project that beautified downtown streets with intriguing architectural touches, trees and flowers, downtown Hollywood has become a popular. Restaurants like California Cafe and Henry's China House , and shops like Sigrid Olsen are popular among visitors.
Not far away, the tiny town of Dania, founded by tomato farmers, has left its farms behind and is best known for a street lined on both sides by dozens of antique shops brimming with an eclectic array of collectibles. Parimutuel fans flock here to Dania Jai-Alai and Simulcast , where talented handball players compete, slamming a wooden ball around at speeds up to 100mph and catching it in a hand-held basket.
Beach enthusiasts will find some of the region's most intriguing sands here, many of them tucked away behind forests of palms, pines and palmetto bushes. The standout is Hollywood North Beach Park , where you'll find many a sea turtle.
Traveling north of Fort Lauderdale, one wanders through a series of small towns including Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, which pretty much describes this tiny town that is home to a cluster of small inns and a few seaside cafes. The 180-acre Hugh Taylor Birch Recreation Area is filled with animals and tall, lovely trees. Beyond lies the city of Pompano, which gets its name from a coveted fish found in abundance here. Pompano is particularly proud of its sportfishing options and is home to a number of fishing competitions, a big fishing pier and a popular seafood festival . Hillsboro Beach, home to some of the region's most imposing seaside manses, is one of the loveliest parts of the drive, with the road rolling beneath massive trees and vegetation that must look much as it did a century ago when the fabled Barefoot Mailman strode the sand, armed with mail for the region's earliest settlers. Hillsboro Inlet is home to a fishing fleet so you can always find a fishing trip here and fresh-from-the-sea seafood at the Pelican Landing .
Continuing northward, you pass through Deerfield Beach, home to a few small resorts, before you reach Boca Raton. Boca's love and lure is its historic and elegant Boca Raton Resort and Club , a creation of architect Addison Mizner, whose pseudo-Mediterranean architecture is a wonder to behold.
To the west of Fort Lauderdale lies a host of smaller cities that are the bedroom communities of the region, their residents working in municipalities throughout the area or in Miami. Among those are Sunrise, Plantation, Tamarac, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Margate, Lauderdale Lakes, Davie—which is particularly proud of its farmland and celebrates it with Western-style architectural touches—and the newest town of them all, Weston, a developer's dream just minutes from the Everglades.
Once billed as the home of more restaurants per capita than any city in the nation, Fort Lauderdale loves—and virtually lives in—its restaurants. Hardly a day goes by in the city where the discussion doesn't turn to the latest great restaurant find: a favorite seafood haven, the best spot for steak, a great waterside spot or a new romantic-dining discovery.
Port Everglades
It's easy to find amazing steak, at such renowned spots as Shula's On the Beach and the casual Chuck's Steak House or the woodsy Raindancer , the later two as popular for their brimming salad bars and French onion soup as for their beef and seafood selections. Cool-chic can be had at Bimini Boatyard , and trendy crowds also head for the seaside H2O , where an intriguing menu is abetted by an equally diverting seaside location.
Work does get done in Fort Lauderdale but much of it gets done over lunch at such popular downtown spots as Mango's , where street-side tables are packed by noon. At Mark's Las Olas , where an award-winning chef and a sleekly sophisticated atmosphere cater to the wants of classy customers, the tables are full from midday to nearly midnight. When the flavors of France tempt, thundering herds head for Le Cafe de Paris , where chefs of considerable local renown have been presiding over their respective, and respected, kitchens for decades. Enjoy Southwestern fare at Canyon or have some pizazz and pizza at Bistro Mezzaluna . Dine with a view, waterside, at Casablanca .
Those who want the sand almost between their toes as they dine head for the north end of the beach where Aruba, an on-the-beach—casual dining spot offers views of swimmers and suntan fans frolicking alongside a fishing pier, where determined anglers dangle a hook in hopes of snagging supper. Have some fish and chips on the river at Shirttail Charlie's. Those who delight in the combination of casual and gourmet may head for By Word of Mouth , where the menu is as intriguing as the green-striped exterior.
If the focus of discussion is seafood, you are likely to hear enraptured tales of dinner at 15th Street Fisheries , tucked away in a marina where impressive yachts provide entertainment, or Old Florida Seafood House , where much of the staff has been around long enough to recognize regular customers.
North Beach Area
Not far away on chic Las Olas Boulevard, lines form on weekends at the Floridian Restaurant , where judges and lawyers, politicians and regular folks gather to gossip as they down a creative collection of egg selections—one even including a bottle of champagne—in the ultimate in casual surroundings, inside and out. Boulevardiers who aren't at the Floridian can likely be found at Vie de France Cafe & Bakery just down the way, or up on Federal Highway at Croissan'Time Cafe , where French-speaking bakers create what the name suggests, along with baguettes, epis and a host of downright irresistible pastries, sandwiches and sweets.
Indulge in comfort foods at Ireland's Inn Ocean Room and enjoy the elegant Oriental options at Rainbow Palace . Picadillo and plantains can be had at Las Vegas , or try the bouillabaisse at the beach at Sea Watch . If steak is more your taste, bask in the kitsch in a den at The Caves . You can always have a yodel at Alpine Village , where the food is homemade and divine. If an evening that includes both fine food and enchanting entertainment is in order, no Fort Lauderdale devotee would fail to name the Mai-Kai , one of the city's oldest restaurants and perhaps its most revered.
At Sage , French touches are applied to contemporary cuisine. If you'd like to enjoy a bar atmosphere with your dinner, try Howl at The Moon , where the food is simple, and the people-watching is complex.
From the historic Museum of Discovery and Science to the serene Deerfield Island Park , Fort Lauderdale offers many attractions for visitors.
Museum of Discovery and Science Downtown Fort Lauderdale is home to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts , the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art and the Museum of Discovery and Science . Browse the offerings at Pocock Fine Art & Antiques , then have dinner at Reed's River House .
Stranahan House Explore the many fine galleries located downtown. The New River Gallery , the Seldom Seen Gallery and the Beaux Arts Galleries are three of the best. Tour Stranahan House , the city's oldest home, then dine at Mango's Restaurant & Lounge .
Old Fort Lauderdale Village & Museum Stroll through the historic Old Fort Lauderdale Village & Museum , then picnic at Bubier Park and visit Wyland Galleries . Have dinner at Indigo or Jackson's Steak House .
Old Dillard Art and Cultural Museum In North Fort Lauderdale, visit the Old Dillard Art and Cultural Museum , the Mills Pond Park and Deerfield Island Park . Grab lunch at Old Vienna , then go to Butterfly World in Tradewinds Park.
Sunshine Cathedral Tour the Sunshine Cathedral , cool off at Paradise Cove Water Playground or hit the links at Raintree Golf Resort . When you're through, dine at Blue Water Restaurant & Bar or Ronieri's Restaurant .
Go snorkeling, take a deep sea fishing trip or take a ride in a helicopter; there are many ways to see Fort Lauderdale.

We just installed this gate yesterday. It is hardware mounted, which worried me at first, but now I realize I shouldn't have been worried. Installing it was a breeze and it only put 8 small holes in the wall that will be easily patched when we decide to remove it permanently. I really liked that the gate can be removed completely at any time and then put up again easily. You install four latches/mounting brackets on the wall that you insert the ends of the gate into. The top brackets have a locking mechanism that locks the gate in place, but it can be opened and the gate removed. The gate is sturdy. It is pretty easy to open and close. The door itself is nice and wide and the opens either way. It closes quietly.The bars are too narrow for our cats to squeeze through so it definitely keeps the baby in.I like the extra height and the color and shape complements our decor nicely. It doesn't look utilitarian like our other gates.I would buy this gate again and recommend it. It was just what we needed for our 59" space.

I bought this gate in January 2010 to place at the top of my basement stairs. It's now September, and the gate can be opened by simply pulling on it. The locking mechanism has failed in a very short period of time. Do NOT waste your money on this product!

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Summer Infant Stylish & Secure 6 foot Extra Tall Metal Expansion Gate:
Use this for a walkway from dinning room to living room. It was easy to install the only downside is how there isn't any support throughout the middle a little flimsy but overall pretty good product. Might go with something a little more in price next time.
Comment on this review
Awesome just what I was looking for!

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Looked seemingly endless for a sturdy gate that would fit our 63 inch opening between our living room and kitchen. So glad I found this gate! Its sturdy and looks great (it's dark metallic brown color is subtle and matches wonderfully with our rooms) I love that its xtra wide AND tall because I can use it for a good few years. Husband got this put together and up fairly quick. All in all a smart and stylish buy!
Good quality, easy to put up.
By Busy mom of twins
from San Antonio, TX
My husband & I were looking for a gate that was sturdy enough to keep the kids safe but we were also needing a larger gate. The location was wider than most gates can provide although you are able to purchase extensions this one already had enough. It's also tall & easy to open with one hand. In addition, it has a great look to it.
Nice Doggy Gate
By TH Florida
from Tarpon Springs, FL
I actually bought the gate to keep our puppy out of the living room. The opening was 5 feet so there weren't a lot of options for such a large opening. The gate was easy to install and is very sturdy. It is also very easy to remove and reinstall if we have guests.
Love it!!
By Mom To Princess and Twins
from Philadelphia, PA
This is a great product. Setup was done easily and quickly by my husband and it is easy to use by all. We have an elementary school age child and she uses it with very little difficulty. What I like the most is there is no where for the little ones to get their fingers caught/pinched when opening/closing the gate and it is not cheap looking or flimsy. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with little ones!

great gate
By mom of a toddler
from Rhode Island
We use the gate to keep our toddler confined to one room. There is a big opening from our family room to the dining room. This gate is great! Easy to install, love the fact that you can walk through. Very sturdy. Our opening is 73 inches and this fits up to 72 inches so we had to make some adjustments. Wish it came with an extra extension.
Great gate
By Mike

Great product. I am using it my daycare. It is extremely sturdy and solid. went together very easily.
Great large baby gate
By john
from texas
Great gate to enclose our living room with a rather large opening. Easy to assemble and hang. Already has had several tests from our 2 children and has stood up to them. Would recommend if you have a large opening you need to gate off.

Fabaceae (legume family)
Legumes are a very large family of 16,000 species in nearly all of the world's habitats. Champion drought tolerators, they are most abundant in the arid tropics. Their prevalence in the Sonoran Desert flora (for example, there are 53 legume species in the Tucson Mountains, 8% of its plants) reflects this desert's tropical origin. North of the Mexican border most of the common Sonoran Desert trees are legumes. DescriptionThe family was named Leguminosae for its fruit, which in most species is a legume (the technical term for bean pod, a single-chambered capsule enclosing what appears to be a single row of seeds that is actually two rows — alternate seeds are attached to opposite halves of the pod). There are three subfamilies with flowers that look very different from one another at first glance, but arose from a common pattern: Caesalpinioideae, Faboideae, and Mimosoideae Mimosoideae subfamilyThe petals are fused in this group, but they're so tiny that they are not noticeable. What one sees is a powder puff of stamens. It's easy to visualize the derivation of flowers of this group from the above subfamily. Start with a caesalpinoid flower such as a Palo Verde blossom. Reduce the petals until they nearly disappear, greatly elongate the filaments of the stamens, and combine several to many flowers into a tight cluster. The visual result is a ball or cylinder of stamens (powder-puffs or catkins, respectively). All species are woody. Examples include acacias (Acacia), mesquite (Prosopis), fairy duster (Calliandra), and mimosa (Albizia). NotesPlants require large quantities of three minerals: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The latter two elements are present in soil, but nitrogen is an atmospheric gas that plants cannot use directly. Some soil bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) can fix nitrogen (convert it into nitrate or other compound) into a form which plants can use. Another major source of nitrogen is the decomposition of dead plants and animals. In arid soils especially, where decomposition of organic material is slow, plant growth is often limited by the available amount of soil nitrogen. Many legumes harbor colonies of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots. The plant provides favorable habitat and carbon for the bacteria, and the bacteria in turn provide surplus nitrate to the plants. Nitrogen-fixing legumes have higher concentrations of nitrogen compounds in their tissues than non-fixing plants. When legume leaves decompose they release the nitrogen and enrich the soil. Nitrogen is an essential element in proteins, so nitrogen-fixing plants can make large crops of seeds with high protein contents (more than 50 percent in some species). The typically large, nutritious, and abundant seeds of legumes are an important food source for many wildlife species, including insects such as bruchid beetles. Adult bruchids are flower beetles, while the larvae of most species are seed predators. Bruchids are not restricted to legumes, but there is a myriad of species that specialize on legume seeds. Some species are very host-specific, while others feed on a wide range of seeds. Decades of intensive study of the bruchid-seed relationship would likely not reveal all aspects of this tiny part of the ecological web. |

Civilization's new design lead on combat evolved
God only knows how many otherwise productive hours of people's lives the Civilization series has stolen over its 20-year history. That turn-based structure is a work of time-sapping genius. Civilization V is out at the end of the month, and VG247 spent an afternoon with the game and its ambitious, ideas-filled new lead designer, Jon Shafer, to see how subtle changes to a classic formula are steering the series gently in a new direction.

Interview – Civilization V's Dennis Shirk
Just as a game of Civilization constantly shifts through the ages, evolves, and occasionally pits horse-riding cavalrymen against 1,500-horsepower tanks, so too does the videogame industry grow and change. A mere five years have passed since the launch of Civilization IV, but already, the industry's a different beast entirely.
How, for instance, does one of gaming's most legendary franchises deal with pirates' overrunning of the PC, the issue of restrictive DRM, the waning influence of the strategy genre, and new input devices like Kinect and Move?
We got a chance to sit down and quiz producer Dennis Shirk over those questions and more. See it all after the break.

People have been fighting over Lake Champlain as long as there have been personal flotation devices. The waterway's strategic value is evidenced by the dozens of shipwrecks on the bottom. The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has been discovering, researching and protecting those rusty relics, and the result is the Lake Champlain Underwater Historic Preserve, a gallery of sunken ships accessible to divers. But there's plenty to look at on land, too. The dry museum chronicles the maritime history of the area through exhibits, boat-building demonstrations, lectures and festivals.
The original Vermonters — Native American Abenaki — have a voice at the Vermont Folklife Center. So do the Vermont descendents of slaves. With an archive that consists of more than 3900 tapes, the organization aims to document and conserve the state's cultural heritage, including groups making history today. A recent photo exhibit captured the lives of Mexican dairy farm workers in Addison County.
Best known for its connection with the Underground Railroad, the Rokeby Museum preserves the history of four generations of remarkable Robinsons. Ahead of its time in every way, the family was made up of Quakers, abolitionists and artists. They were also successful farmers. Patriarch Thomas R. Robinson was among the first agriculturalists to import Merino sheep to the U.S. If he were around today, the old man might be raising something equally radical, like llamas. Two of them live across the road from the Rokeby, along with a camel.

Another girl and I are managers of the football team and one time, at an out-of-town game, we needed to find water to make Gatorade. Turns out we had to use the other team's locker room to get it. After we filled up, we started walking out and fell in front of the entire opposing team! They all started laughing at us and some of them were pretty cute, too!
Flirting Fall
I met this cute boy over the summer and it turns out that he was on the cross-country team and our schools competed against each other! I was super excited to see him and he cheered me out at our meet while I ran. I decided to thank him after my race and things were great until I tried to take a sip of water. I ended up spilling the whole thing all over myself! He just stared at me and said, "You must be tired!"
Hit And Run
I decided to show off to my crush while playing baseball in P.E. When it was my turn at bat, I hit the ball as hard as I could and it went straight towards my crush's face! It ended up breaking his nose! That was a great way to get his attention before homecoming—not!
Bottoms Up
I was so excited to wear my new skirt to school, but my underwear lines were visible so I had to wear a thong. At lunch, I tripped over a table and my skirt flew up! Everyone in the cafeteria saw my whole butt, including my crush! I was mortified!
Rude Interruption
While on vacation with my best friend and her family, we saw these super cute boys that were staying at the same hotel we were. They kept walking by us and throwing footballs our way all day. One night, we were walking on the beach when we saw them! We were so excited when they started walking towards us, until my friend's dad shone a flashlight at them! The quickly turned around and started walking in the opposite direction! They avoided us the rest of the time we were there.
Split Up
I had just learned how to do a split and was really excited about it. At school, my friend told my crush that I could do one and he didn't believe me so I decided to show off. When I went for it, I ripped my jeans and he totally saw my underwear!
Wrong Number
My best friend and I were texting each other embarrassing childhood pictures one day when we suddenly realized we were in a group text with both our crushes and the entire soccer team! Lets just say the next day they had a lot of laughs!
My friend asked to borrow my Chapstick in class one day. She sits three rows behind me and my crush sits right in front of her. We weren't allowed to get up so I decided to throw it to show off and I hit my crush in the face! It was awful and I definitely learned my lesson!
Sink Or Swim
I was changing for gym when my best friend asked me when our homework was due so I ran out to check the calendar in the hall. The calendar is on the wall between the boys and girls locker rooms so my crush saw me when he walked out. He came up to me and said, "Nice shorts," and when I looked down I realized I was wearing bathing suit bottoms! It was terrible!
Strike Out
We were playing wiffle ball in gym class and my crush and I were on separate teams. I tried to impress him by playing well. When it was my turn to bat, it hit the ball and ran, but as I rounded third base I ran straight into someone and fell on top of them—it was my crush! We laugh about it now, but it was definitely embarrassing at the time!

A rabbit on the run near Buckingham Fountain in Chicago. (David Klobucar/ Chicago Tribune photo / April 15, 2003) |
So mankind adjusts and persists, finding new ways to fight back.
"People come to us and ask, Can you do this?'" says David Cuddleback, CEO and president of Enviro Protection Industries Company (EPIC), which recently responded to customer needs and developed an armadillo repellant. "Then you look at the science of repelling that creature. We have a whole base of substances we're familiar with. We know exactly what can be used safely, no chemicals, what's safe around humans, recorded safe by the USDA or EPA."
Insect management is not only important on its own level, but lessons from it can be applied elsewhere.
"In the insect world (the amount of research) is massive," says Michael Wagner, an assistant professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University. "Integrated pest management, that kind of stuff. Lots of universities have programs. That gets a lot of attention because crop production is very important here and around the world."
Wagner considers such insect research "an engine that works for others." His work, in fact, is based on the insect-control model. Researchers, he says, want the most environmentally responsible way to do the job, "which is not to eliminate the pests, but to limit the harm being done by these pests."
Wagner is applying that idea to his field of study, the sea lamprey. Researchers are using a synthetic version of a pheromone that stressed lampreys produce, an alarm substance, that warns other lampreys of impending danger. The parasitic eel-like vertebrates can then be manipulated – away from some streams and rivers and into others.
"The idea we're pursuing is called push-pull," Wagner explains. "It's a very simple, intuitive idea. When you're trying to manage pests, you're really managing crop damage. The push-pull idea is the simultaneous use of attraction and repellants. Push them away from your stuff (through the synthetic pheromone) and pull them into other areas where they can be controlled."
Elsewhere, the battle continues as other researchers seek ways to control pests.
Bitter victory
Amar Grewal is president of Natura Products, a company with branches in the U.S. and Canada that manufactures a line of products that promote pest control by limiting the damage. A microbiologist and organic chemist who has worked in the field for more than 20 years, Grewal has designed a slow-release tablet that does double duty in the garden.
He uses denatonium benzoate, "basically the world's bitterest substance. You put it in the root system of any plant and it gets taken up (into the plant). That was a no-brainer. What we wanted to test was, Does it remain bitter or get broken down? In a nutshell, it stayed bitter."
The chemical makes plants – roses, hostas, tulips – unappetizing for deer and rabbits and other creatures. Then he doubled down by adding components that enhanced a plant's root system and also broke down organic matter around the plant. It was a fertilizer-pest control all in one.
"It's not just a repellant, it's a fertilizer, a soil additive, it works as an organic fungicide."
He eschewed the one-size-fits-all notion. When a study showed that the product kept aphids from roses, he tailored it for rose bushes. When he saw how the root application made the roots especially bitter, he did some tinkering and produced a groundhog and vole repellant.
Natura (deergone.com) now sells repellants for deer, rabbits, voles, groundhogs, dogs, cats, raccoons and squirrels, all based on the same technology.
Narrow focus
The repellant industry has moved away from the chemical approach and toward more natural substances, says EPIC's Cuddleback. "When made well and used properly, they are easily as good, often better, than the old chemical approach."
Granular products work better than sprays, he adds. And all of EPIC's repellants are from the company's own recipes.
"Sprays are in the vicinity to 2 1/2 6 percent active ingredients. Our granulars can carry three times that, up to 20 percent of active ingredients. So we get a lot of stuff on the ground that throws out more smells. That's our approach to repelling."
There are products for deer, rabbits, moles, cats, dogs, gophers, snakes, voles and the aforementioned armadillos. EPIC (epicrepellents.com) is also working on analyzing the behaviors of 13 varieties of ground squirrels in the U.S. "We're close to these things," Cuddleback says. "But we're only going to put them out there when we're sure of them."
And then there's the big one: rodents.
"The state of the art is attempts – and it hasn't been achieved – to find repellants for rodents like mice and rats," he says. "That's hard to do because they're very persistent pests. I make no promises, but I've seen what's out there and we can do better than that."
Using genetics
Trichomes are hair-like outgrowths on plants that produce chemicals that can ward off pests. After decades of cultivation, today's tomatoes are lacking in trichomes, which in the wild produce acyl sugars. But research at Michigan State has identified the gene that helps in the production of these sugars. The goal is to genetically engineer cultivated tomatoes – and other plants in the solanaceous family, such as potatoes, peppers, eggplants and petunias -- so they can produce the acyl sugars that work as a repellant.

Notwithstanding sharply reduced global demand in the last three months Volvo Construction Equipment rounded off a solid 2012 by extending its market leadership of the Chinese wheel loader and excavator segments, protected profitability via active inventory management – and sold its second highest ever number of machines.
Prior to his dramatic win on Sunday in the Volvo Golf Champions in South Africa, world number four and local hero Louis Oosthuizen had the best Friday of his life. Not only did he move into the lead in the tournament, but he also received the keys to the very thing that he has coveted for two years – a Volvo Compact Excavator EC55B.
Volvo Construction Equipment's supplier relationship with Steelwrist for the supply of Tiltrotators is being extended to excavator quick couplers.
Volvo Construction Equipment's (Volvo CE) efforts have been recognized with the industry's first worldwide certification for ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental care) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health & safety).
A weakening total market – which was down 11% in the year to August – coupled with increased price competition put pressure on third quarter sales and earnings at Volvo Construction Equipment.
Characterized by its ability to handle varying conditions, widths and applications, the DD100 is a 10 tonne double drum asphalt compactor from Volvo Construction Equipment that provides a smooth mat with fewer passes.
The new edition of the Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) company magazine, Spirit, is now available, with a special focus on safety.
Continued momentum in most markets reinforced a self-assured quarter for Volvo Construction Equipment, one that saw the company post strong earnings and strengthen its position in the Chinese wheel loader and excavator market.
The latest special history edition of Spirit, Volvo Construction Equipment's company magazine, is now available to read online and on your iPad, celebrating almost two centuries of innovations and industry firsts.
Volvo CE reported record sales and profitability in Q1, 2012, with sales up 17% and higher than ever operating income and operating margin for a first quarter.

The Best Christmas Story – Special "Liberty Limited" Train to Army Navy Game – Wounded American Heroes Traveled Aboard Famous Private Railway Cars to the game…
This is a YOUTUBE video of the hero's train racing to Philadelphia. A little boy watches the train speed pass with total awe. The cars carrying the heroic soldiers aboard classic Pullman private and passenger deluxe equipment from the past. The original Liberty Limited was the Pennsylvania Railroad's premier passenger train between Washington D.C. and Chicago.
A great holiday and Christmas story celebrating the true spirit of giving happened on December 10th. Wounded soldiers were honored as they traveled on the "Liberty Limited"! A special chartered a train transported soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital to the Army Navy Game. The train was organized by American patriot Bennett Levin.
They traveled in luxury aboard some of the most famous historical private railway Pullman cars still operating in America. The trip was completely for the soldiers.
Besides the train crew, car owners and staff – only the soldiers were allowed.
Self-aggrandizing Washington DC Politicians were prohibited from taking the train – avoiding their using the event to promote themselves. The media were barred and no military brass.
Just American heroes!
(Left: This shot captures the beautifully restored former Pennsylvania RR E8A locomotive – owned by Mr. Levin.)
At 1,850 feet—19 private passenger cars and two classic EMD E-8 diesel-electric locomotives in the Pennsylvania Railroad's famous Tuscan Red/gold pinstripe keystone livery—the Liberty Limited was a sight to behold, roaring up the Northeast Corridor at 90 mph on December 10, on its way from Washington D.C. to the 2010 Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia.
Inside the gleaming private-varnish consist, with Liberty Limited operator Bennett Levin's Pennsylvania 120 open-platform business/observation car bringing up the markers, were 70 "Wounded Warriors"—U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps personnel from Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Medical Center. With them were 25 family members and guests, 24 military support staff, 16 car owners (who donated use of their equipment), 42 food preparation and wait staff, 30 crew members and police officers—"and no politicians or media," according to Levin, who with wife Vivian and son Eric (Conrail's Superintendent of Motive Power and rebuilder and caretaker of his father's 1951-vintage E-8s), has operated this special trip three times at the behest of U.S. military.
During the course of the all-day event, there were 225 breakfasts, 160 lunches, and 250 dinners served on board private cars that came from Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maryland, Connecticut, Arizona, and New Jersey. This included ground crews from CSX Transportation and Conrail in Philadelphia, on site security and police escorts, and SEPTA drivers.
The following story is reprinted from the Philadelphia Daily News, written by Ronnie Polanescky.
And now, I bring you the best Christmas story you never heard!
(Left: Bennett Levin) It started last Christmas, when Bennett and Vivian Levin were overwhelmed by sadness while listening to radio reports of injured American troops.
"We have to let them know we care," Vivian told Bennett.
So they organized a trip to bring soldiers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital to the annual Army-Navy football game in Philly, on Dec. 3.
The cool part is, they created their own train line to do it.

Yes, there are people in this country who actually own real trains. Bennett Levin – native Philly guy, self-made millionaire and irascible former L&I commish – is one of them.
He has three luxury rail cars. Think mahogany paneling, plush seating and white-linen dining areas. He also has two locomotives, which he stores at his Juniata Park train yard.
One car, the elegant Pennsylvania, carried John F. Kennedy to the Army-Navy game in 1961 and '62. Later, it carried his brother Bobby's body to D.C. for burial.
"That's a lot of history for one car," says Levin.
(The train speeds. The Chapel Hill – with the yellow stripe – was once owned by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. The wounded heroes lived a moment of history aboard such cars.)
