Animal safety was established originally under NADA 128-620 and its supplement (48FR42809; September 20, 1983, and 53 FR 40058; October 13, 1988). No new studies were conducted to establish animal safety associated with the use of fenbendazole in dairy cattle of breeding age.
A. Toxicity Tests:
Toxicity and teratogenicity studies conducted at Hoechst Research Laboratories in Frankfurt, Germany, and in the United States were summarized in the FOI Summary for the original approval of fenbendazole in a food-producing species under NADA128-620 (48 FR 42809; Sept. 20, 1983).
B. Previously Established Safe Concentrations and Tolerances:
The safe concentrations established for total residues of fenbendazole in edible tissues of cattle are 5 ppm in muscle, 10ppm in liver, 15ppm in kidney , and 20ppm in fat. A tolerance of 0.8ppm parent fenbendazole (the marker residue) in cattle liver (the target tissue) was established with the original approval under NADA128-620.
Under a supplement to NADA 132-872 (61 FR 29477; June 11, 1996), a safe concentration for total residues of fenbendazole in milk of 1.67 ppm was established.
C. Milk Total Residue and Metabolism Study: LAV # 1506 SVM (Jan. 1992 to Aug. 1993)
This study was designed to determine the total residue profile as a function of time, to identify metabolites of fenbendazole in milk, and to select a marker substance to monitor measure residues in milk of lactating dairy cows.
Study Director:
Dr. Steven Barker, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University
Study Animals:
6 lactating Holstein cows, 33 mo. to 7 yrs old, averaging 603 kg body weight
Test Article and Dosage:
14C-fenbendazole 1.98 mCi/g in aqueous suspension administered at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg as a single dose, via stomach tube
A morning milk sample obtained from each cow prior to treatment to served as a blank control for the study. Following this milking, five of the cows received the test article. The sixth cow (control) did not receive fenbendazole. Morning and afternoon milk samples were collected for 6 days following drug administration.
Total residues for each whole milk sample were determined by scintillation counting in triplicate assay. Selected samples were also centrifuged, and 0.5mL aliquots of fat and water portions were counted to determine label distribution. For metabolic profiling, milk samples were extracted by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) techniques, and the absolute recovery of total label was determined by scintillation counting of the extracts. The distribution of the extracted label between remaining parent drug and metabolites was determined by HPLC analyses using UV diode array and in-line radiolabel detection. The identity of radiolabeled peaks was matched with known standards for the metabolites of fenbendazole based on retention time and UV-diode array spectra.. Samples were also assayed quantitatively by HPLC using an internal (mebendazole) standard and correcting for recovery.
The results from the radiolabel assay for total residues in whole milk and the HPLC analyses of metabolites in whole milk averaged for the five cows as a function of time are presented in Table 5.1.

**Ratio percent used to calculate tolerance level.
At all times following administration of fenbendazole to lactating dairy cattle, residues in milk of fenbendazole and its metabolites were below the established safe concentration, and the total residue was evenly distributed between the fat and aqueous fractions of the whole milk. All residue levels were below the target of 0.83ppm for the 1X tracer study (one-half the 1.67 ppm established safe concentration). No residues were detected in milk from the placebo (control) cow.
Metabolic profiling of the total residues indicated that the concentration of parent drug in milk was negligible. The sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites of fenbendazole were the compounds that contributed to milk residues. The sulfoxide metabolite of fenbendazole was established as the marker residue as it was present at levels significantly higher than parent fenbendazole or its sulfone metabolite. No other metabolites of fenbendazole were found in milk.
The tolerance value was calculated from the marker to total residue ratio when total fenbendazole residues are at a maximum in milk. That maximum occurs in the range of 24 to 36 hours following dosing, and at that time, the sulfoxide metabolite represents approximately 35% of the total residue present. Accordingly, the tolerance for the fenbendazole sulfoxide is set at 0.6ppm (35% of the 1.67 ppm safe concentration).
D. Calf Tissue Total Residue Study: LAV # 1507 SVM (Apr. 1992 to Aug. 1993)
This study was conducted to measure residues in calves born to 14C fenbendazole-treated dairy cattle. Total residue profiles in calf liver, kidney, fat and muscle were measured to provide data demonstrating the extent to which fenbendazole and its metabolites are transferred to and retained by the tissues of calves born to fenbendazole-treated cows.
Study Director:
Dr. Steven Barker, School of Veterinary Medicine - Louisiana State University
Study Animals:
6 pregnant Holstein cows, 3 yrs or older, averaging 616 kg body weight
Test Article and Dosage:
14C-fenbendazole 1.89, 1.95, and 2.09mCi/g in aqueous suspension administered at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg as a single dose, via stomach tube
Five days prior to anticipated calving, five pregnant Holstein cows were administered an aqueous suspension of 14C-labeled and unlabeled fenbendazole containing approximately 2 mCi activity/g by stomach tube at a dose calculated to equal 5.0mg/kg body weight. A sixth pregnant cow was administered carrier with no fenbendazole and was the control for the study. Four calves (one from the control cow and three from treated cows) were delivered by cesarean section approximately 70 hours after dosing. The remaining two treated cows calved naturally (1 calf each) at 4 and 25 hours post-dosing. A treated calf died 5 hours after delivery. Three of the four remaining treated calves and the control calf were sacrificed 24 hours after delivery. The other treated calf was sacrificed 48 hours after delivery. Surviving calves received colostrum from treated dams and milk replacer as needed for 24 to 48hours up to time of sacrifice.
Total residues for the described tissues were determined by oxidation of 0.5 g tissue samples in triplicate and scintillation counting and are summarized in Table 5.2.
Table 5.2.
Mean concentrations (+/- sd) of total residues of fenbendazole and metabolites in calf tissues following administration of 5.0 mg fenbendazole/kg body weight to five pregnant dairy cows.
|Total Residue (mcg/g)
|1.398 (0.998)
|0.528 (0.383)
|0.386 (0.400)
|0.306 (0.236)
For metabolic profiling, liver tissue from one calf was extracted by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) techniques, and the absolute recovery of total label was determined by scintillation counting of the extracts. The distribution of the extracted label between parent drug and metabolites was determined by HPLC analyses using UV diode array and in-line radiolabel detection. The identity of radiolabeled peaks was matched with known standards for the metabolites of fenbendazole based on retention time and UV-diode array spectra.
Results indicated that the label was distributed between the sulfone (34%) and sulfoxide (58%) metabolites of fenbendazole and parent fenbendazole (8%). No other radiolabeled metabolites were observed in the liver. Profiles of kidney, fat, and muscle tissue from all calves using HPLC indicated the presence of the sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites. The parent drug, fenbendazole, was present in trace quantities. No other metabolites were indicated by the assay.
From these residue data it was concluded that, in calves born to and consuming colostrum from fenbendazole-treated dams, residues of fenbendazole in edible tissues were below the established safe concentrations. Residue levels in liver, kidney, fat and muscle as a percent of the safe concentrations were 13.98%, 3.52%, 1.93% and 6.12%, respectively. Therefore, edible tissues of calves born to fenbendazole-treated dams is safe even when fenbendazole is administered prior to parturition.
E. Milk Residue Tolerance Study: LAV # 1591 SVM (Nov. 3, 1992 to July 16, 1993)
This study, using non-radiolabeled fenbendazole, was conducted to determine the total quantity of fenbendazole and its metabolites in whole milk as a function of time and to expand the examination to include use of the actual market formulation. A further objective was to determine whether incurred fenbendazole residues or its metabolites demonstrate activity in three commonly used milk antibiotic screening tests: Charm II assay, Delvotest P, and Bacillus stearothermophilis disc assay (BSDA).
Study Director:
Dr. Steven Barker, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University
Test Article Administration:
fenbendazole 10% suspension, administered at 5.0 mg/kg as a single dose, via stomach tube
Study Animals:
11 lactating Holstein cows, average 505 kg body weight, milking ³ 20 kg /day
The ten treated cows received fenbendazole 10% suspension in a dose of 5.0 mg fenbendazole/kg body weight. The control cow was untreated.
Cows were machine milked in the morning prior to treatment. Milk samples were collected at that milking and were used as blank controls for the study. Milk samples (100 mL) were then collected at the 4:00 AM and 4:00 PM milkings for seven days following fenbendazole treatment.
For metabolic profiling, milk samples were extracted by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) technique. The amount of parent drug and metabolites was determined quantitatively by HPLC analyses using UV diode array detection. The identity of peaks was matched with known standards for the metabolites of fenbendazole based on retention time and UV-diode array spectra.
The administration of fenbendazole 10% suspension at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg body weight to lactating dairy cows produced residues in whole milk identifiable as fenbendazole sulfoxide, fenbendazole sulfone, and trace quantities of fenbendazole. Peak residue time in milk was 24 hours after administration. Peak fenbendazole sulfoxide marker level was 0.12 ± 0.03 mcg/mL (Table 5.3). No residues of fenbendazole were detected in the control cow.

*No residues detected; **Marker residue
Antibiotic residue test screening was conducted on milk samples from three treated cows chosen randomly. The samples were collected at 12-hour intervals for 72 hours post-dose. Tests performed included the Charm II assay, Delvotest P, and BSDA. Zero-time samples were included in all antibiotic screening tests; DelvotestP and BSDA also included milk collected from the control animal at 12-hour intervals for 72 hours post-dose. Examinations indicated that the incurred residues from treated cows had no discernible or consistent effect on the assays. No sample from any cow examined gave a positive response to the Delvotest P and BSDA. Assay results of ten antibiotic classes indicated that fenbendazole and its metabolites do not interfere or cross-react with any consistency in the Charm II assay.
It was concluded that the fenbendazole sulfoxide marker residue level was below the tolerance level; therefore, total residues were below the established safe concentration for milk. A zero-day withdrawal period was approved for use of fenbendazole oral suspension at 5 mg/kg bodyweight in dairy cattle of breeding age. It was further concluded that use of fenbendazole does not interfere with routine antibiotic drug screening.
F. Milk Discard and Slaughter Withdrawal Time:
The milk residue depletion studies described in Subsection C, above, demonstrates that the maximum levels of fenbendazole residues in milk are well below the 1.67ppm safe concentration and 0.6 ppm tolerance when lactating dairy cattle are treated at the approved dosing rate of 5mg/kg body weight. Accordingly, a zero-day withdrawal period was approved for use of fenbendazole (PanacurÒ , Safe-GuardÒ Suspension 10%), at the 5mg fenbendazole/kg dose, in dairy cattle of breeding age.
The 8-day preslaughter withdrawal time established in the original approval of NADA 128-620 (48 FR 42809; September 20, 1983) as codified at 21 CFR 520.905a applies to lactating dairy cows treated with fenbendazole 10% suspension.
G. Regulatory Methods:
A regulatory milk assay method is not required because of the establishment of a zero milk withdrawal period in lactating dairy cattle. However, an HPLC assay method is on file at FDA/CVM in Rockville, MD. A regulatory tissue method was developed as part of the original fenbendazole approval. The method, entitled, "Determination Procedure for the Measurement of Fenbendazole in Bovine Liver Tissue", is on file at the FDA's Freedom of Information Office, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857.
The data submitted in support of these supplemental applications satisfy the requirements of Section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and implementing regulations at Part 514 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR 514). The data demonstrate that Safe-GuardÒ (fenbendazole) Suspension 10% and PanacurÒ (fenbendazole) Suspension 10%, when administered per os as a single dose of 5 mg/kg to cattle, including dairy cattle of breeding age, are safe and effective for the treatment of internal parasitism due to common species of lungworm, stomach worms, and intestinal worms.
The toxicology data on fenbendazole submitted with the original application to NADA128-620 (48 FR 42810; Sept. 20, 1983) allowed the establishment of a safe concentration of 1.67 ppm for total residues of fenbendazole in milk. Based on submitted residue and metabolite data, a tolerance of 0.6 ppm for residues in milk of fenbendazole sulfoxide (the marker residue) is established. Because the maximum levels of residues found in milk of fenbendazole-treated cattle were well below the safe concentration and tolerance noted above, no discard of milk (zero milk withdrawal) is required. The slaughter withdrawal time of 8 days required for treated dairy cattle of breeding age is the same as that established for cattle under the original NADA 128-620.
Federal law restricts PanacurÒ Suspension 10% for Cattle to use by or on order of a licensed Veterinarian. The decision to keep PanacurÒ Suspension 10% as a prescription product was made in 1988, based on the approval of the 10 mg/kg body weight dose for beef cattle (53 FR 40058; October 13, 1988). The 10mg/kg dose is not for use in dairy cows of breeding age due to potential for violative milk residues. Safe-GuardÒ Suspension 10% is marketed as an over-the-counter (OTC) product. The decision to keep Safe-GuardÒ Suspension 10% as an OTC product was made in 1988, based on the fact that it would not carry the 10 mg/kg dose on its label.
In accordance with 21 CFR 514.106(b)(2), these are Category II changes. The approval of these changes did not require reevaluation of the safety and effectiveness data in the parent application.
The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(d)(5) that these actions are of a type that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the human environment. The Agency's finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and the evidence supporting this finding are on public display in the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305), Room 1061, Mail Stop HFA-305, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

What is the lipid bilayer?
The lipid bilayer (phospholipid bilayer/cell membrane) is a structural component of the cell that isolates the cell components (organelles, cytoplasm) from the extracellular environment.
Functions of the lipid bilayer
- Maintain an internal environment: the external cellular environment is often different to the cellular environment (ion, protein concentrations etc). The cell can control its environment by controling gene expression of transmembrane proteins (see 'crossing the membrane')
- Allows the cell to control what enters/exits: transporter proteins and channels enable the cell to selectively uptake molecules that it requires whilst excluding those that may be harmful.
- Protection: the lipid bilayer creates an envelope - housing the cellular components and offering some protection. Some cells, such as plant cells, have a cell wall which offers further protection.
- Contains important components involved in cell recognition, communication, signalling etc: the lipid bilayer is the boundary between the internal and external environment and must mediate communication between the two.
- Gives the cell shape (anchors with the cytoskeleton): in some cells the shape is important. One example is the red blood cell. Its concave shape increases its surface area allowing it to bind oxygen much more efficiently.
Structure of the lipid bilayer
The lipid bilayer is made up of many phospholipids that align together. Each phospholipid is made up of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail (figure 1).
The most common phospholipid is phosphatidylcholine which contains a choline molecule bound to phosphate and glycerol (figure 1). The hydrophilic head is polar allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, whereas the tail region - made from two hydrocarbon chains - is non-polar or hydrophobic.
It is this combination of both a hydrophobic and hydrophilic region (amphiphilic) that gives phospholipids such an important function within the cell. When placed in water, the phospholipid molecules naturally align into a bilayer (figure 2), allowing the hydrophobic tails to avoid water whilst the hydrophilic heads form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Interestingly, the lipid bilayer will form a closed sphere (liposome) to completely exclude water from the hydophobic tail.
Phospholipid bilayer
Crossing the membrane
The lipid-bilayer isolates the internal components of the cell from the extracellular environment. Whilst lipid-soluble molecules can cross the membrane directly through the bilayer, this is not so for large molecules such as glucose, water and other polar molecules. So how then do these enter the cell?
Transmembrane proteins are anchored throughout the entire bilayer and allow non-polar molecules to cross the membrane, facillitating the passing of these molecules into or out of the cell. These proteins not only allow essential components into the cell, they also offer an opportunity for the cell to control what can and cannot enter.
But how does the cell do this? The cell can tightly control what can and cannot enter the cell by altering the expression of genes encoding transmembrane proteins. For example, when the cell is low on glucose, genes that code for glucose transporters will be switched on. These newly transcribed proteins will translocate in the membrane where they can facilitate increased glucose uptake.
What else is found In the membrane?
Along with the various kinds of transporter proteins, other molecules are found within the lipid bilayer that are of functional importance to the cell and include:
- Cholesterol - provides support and reduces permeability.
- Other proteins:
- Glycoproteins, which have roles in cell-cell signalling, can act as receptors for hormones and other molecules.
- Antigens, which act as cell recognition molecules. Antigens have major roles in the immune system and help the body in identifying foreign cells.
Many of the molecules associated with the lipid bilayer help link the extracellular environement with the intracellular environment.
Fluid mosaic model
Singer and Nicholson (1972) were the first to describe the lipid bilayer with the the fluid mosaic model. But what does this actually mean?
What this means is that the individual phospholipids are not fixed and will move around within the bilayer, much like the movement of molecules in liquids. One way to imagine this is by thinking of a glass of water. Whilst the consistency remains constant, the molecules within the glass are free to move.
The term 'mosaic' refers to the proteins and other molecules found within the membrane that create a mosaic-iike appearence.

The question of who owns our newspapers, television and radio is vital to democracy. The information and opinion we draw on must reflect a range of different voices and views if we are to be able to understand and debate the issues of the day. The Government's task is to create a framework for media ownership which protects that plurality of voices and encourages a diversity of content whilst, at the same time, promoting the most competitive market for media businesses and attracting new investment ...

Pietermaritzburg - A former policeman, who won R10 million on the lotto in 2009, appeared in the Pietermaritzburg district court on Tuesday charged with theft of R250.
Dayalin Maslamoney, 39, is charged alongside his co-accused, Zaheer Khan, with theft under false pretences relating to an incident in Boom Street on Sunday night in which a man was robbed of R250.
It is alleged that Maslamoney and Khan knocked on the door of Yusuf Billy, pretending to be police officers, and that Maslamoney then produced a name badge with the SAPS insignia on it.
The two men questioned Billy about an alleged "suspect", and when Billy said he did not know anything, the two men allegedly demanded cash from him.
Meanwhile, one of Billy's friends who was in the house at the time called the police.
When Maslamoney and Khan fled, they were nabbed by police within metres of the house. The case has been adjourned to February 11 for the two to secure legal representation.
Maslamoney hit the headlines in 2009 when his then wife Reena took him to court in an attempt to stop him from accessing his lotto windfall. Reena, who bought her husband the winning R50 "quick pick" ticket on April 18, 2009, claimed in court papers that Maslamoney had squandered over R500 000 of the R10m.
The couple married in community of property.
She claimed that her husband had paid R100 000 for a vehicle, put down an R80 000 deposit on a property in Pietermaritzburg and paid her debts to the tune of about R36 000. The rest he spent on having parties and liquor and drugs for his friends.
At the time, Reena said that she intended to divorce her husband and was entitled to 50 percent of the winnings.

Gallery: Redskins-Eagles Through YearsPosted by on September 6, 2013 – 4:07 pm
By association, the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles are two of the biggest rivals in the National Football League. Dating back to their first encounter in 1934, the team's have faced one another every year with the exception of 1943 when the Eagles merged with their Keystone State brothers, the Steelers, to form the Phil-Pitt Steagles.
Seriously who picked that creative name?
Anyway, the NFC East foes have engaged in some heated games over the years and have gotten the best other both on the field and through trades. With a little less than 72 hours remaining until the 157th edition of Redskins-Eagles, here's a gallery of some of the most memorable moments between the two:

Redskins-Eagles Have A Lot Of HistoryPosted by on September 6, 2013 – 1:54 pm
Monday's matchup between the Redskins and the Eagles will mark the 157th overall meeting between the division rivals. This is the 156th regular season meeting between the Redskins and Eagles' franchises, not including two meetings in 1943 when the Eagles merged with the Steelers to form the Phil-Pitt Steagles. The Redskins lead the all-time regular season series 80-70-5. With exception of the 1943 season, the two teams have played a home-and-home series every year since 1936.
Including a playoff win in 1990, the Redskins' 81 combined victories against the Eagles are their most against any opponent. A win on Monday would give the Redskins three straight wins against the Eagles for the first time since winning four straight across the 1985-87 seasons.

Coach's Turn: Mike Shanahan At The MicPosted by on September 6, 2013 – 1:45 pm
On Friday, Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan addressed the media one final time before his team takes the field Monday Night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
It marks the first time since 2006 that the Redskins opener is not on a Sunday, as they played Minnesota Vikings at home on Monday Night Football.
A win at home would mean so much more than Mike Shanahan tying Tom Landry for the most season opening wins (16) since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, London Fletcher becoming the sole league Ironman and giving the team its longest regular season winning streak (eight) since 1991. It would give the team a jumpstart on its defense of the NFC East crown tour.
Anyway, Shanahan gave an important update on Brandon Meriweather and spoke about Trent William's progression during the offseason.

Chris Cooley Stays True To RootsPosted by on September 6, 2013 – 12:02 pm
Last night when the Denver Broncos soundly defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener, those who picked them in season predictions to make a deep playoff run were giving themselves pats on the back over and over again.
Has somebody checked Chris Cooley's back this morning? Cooley, Redskins legend and current radio analyst on "The Drive with Cooley and Czabe" heard weekdays from 4-7 on ESPN980 along with "Cooley's Corner" on game days, tweeted out his hand drawn playoff prediction featuring the Broncos and this team:

Storylines The Eagles Are FollowingPosted by on September 6, 2013 – 11:02 am
After the NFL season officially kicked off last night after a slight delay, the resounding sentiment at Redskins Park this morning is excitement. Despite still being three days away, the players are ready to defend their NFC East crown against an Eagles team that they swept last season by a combined score of 57-26.
Season opening games usually come with a bevy of storylines to follow as every team starts on even playing grounds, 0-0 and as optimistic as ever. While the season opening game isn't an all-encompassing indicator for how the final 15 games will play out, it does at least give a sample of what a team has to offer.
As everyone saw last season during the Redskins' 40-32 victory over the Saints, the offense was going to be elite and Alfred Morris was indeed the real deal. It was also evident that the secondary was going to encounter some struggles.
Anyway, Monday night's game marks the 157th the Redskins and Eagles have tangled since 1934 when the Redskins squeaked out a 6-0 victory. Just as the team and Redskins fans are following several players and storylines closely, so are the Eagles.
Here's what Philadelphia and national media outlets are saying before the game:

Thanks for the opinions all! We have a cousin that just named their son Dodge so maybe we should stick with the car theme and go with Elise (Lotus) hehe!
We had liked Sonya because of Russian heritage but I can see it isnt as appealing to others.
I think Rose, Elise and Sabrina are our top three. Maybe Rose Elise, Sabrina Elise or Elise ?MN. I hate use Rose as a MN. Seems to cheezy.

Mazda has barely thrown off the shackles of Ford, but the Japanese already make their new freedom felt. In a way that won't make Ford happy.
Mazda and their new largest shareholder Sumitomo will spend anywhere between $350m and $475m, and will open a plant in Mexico that will start making lots of little Mazdas as early as 2013. According to The Nikkei [sub], Mazda will build its bread & butter Mazda2 and Mazda3 models in Mexico. They will not be shipped north. The cars are destined for the Mexican, Brazilian, and other Central and South American markets. Mazda will initially make some 100,000 units there, later more. An engine plant is also in the cards.
This marks a series of firsts for Mazda.
- It is Mazda's first new overseas production base since they opened a plant in Thailand in 1998.
- All previous plants, in the U.S., China and Thailand, had been run jointly with Ford.
- Mazda will hold a majority stake in the operating company — something it has never done before. Sumitomo will lend a hand in the management.
Mazda will also be treading on an in-house Monroe doctrine somewhere at Ford, and will be interfering with growth markets in the Southern Hemisphere. That will cause joy in Dearborn.
Mazda has big plans down south. They sold some 50,000 cars in the region last year, only 4.5 percent of global sales. The company wants to sell 1.7 million units worldwide in 2015, up 30 percent from now. A lot of this growth is expected from South America.
Why Mexico? Mexico has an economic partnership with Mercosur, a full customs union between Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Like its European counterpart, Mercosur is expanding. Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru are associate members. Even Israel and Egypt joined. A plant in Mexico lowers customs barriers to these countries.
What's more, tariffs on autoparts exported from Japan to Mexico will disappear in 2014 under a bilateral economic partnership agreement. Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, and Honda, which already are in Mexico, will be able to further lower their cost there.

Today I'll break down our 2's. Check out my thread on our 1's from yesterday http://www.pacersdigest.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=25292
Walsh and Bird created quality depth this past summer with all their acquisitions they made. With all our injuries and turbulent history as of late we needed depth at all positions. Now we are set to compete even when we potentially might lose a player as is the case at the 2 position.
- SJax, Jax represents a real dilemma for the Pacers. I'll go over the positives first. 1. He shows up and plays. At the very least injuries haven't taken him out of the lineup that often. 2. He is one of the few perimeter players we have that can create his own shot and this is vitally important for us to have. However, with the addition of Harrington and Tins being healthy we aren't is bad shape as we used to be here. 3. He is a threat to shoot the three and we don't have a lot of perimeter players that are true threats. We need shooters to open up the post for O'Neal and dribble penetration. 4. He can defend 2 and 3's effectively. 5. With him in the lineup he is the number 3 scoring option and frees up Tins and Runi to run the offense and get eveyone involved and not have to worry about shooting too much.
Negatives: 1. He might not be available for the season because he could be in jail. 2. Do we really want a guy who says he's committed to being a professional and then goes out and does what he does on our team after all that we have been through in the past few years. 3. He kills the ball movement in our offense when he takes the ball and runs time off the shot clock going one on one. This ok on occasion, but he does it too often and frequently at the worst time in the game possible. 4. He takes bad shots, early in the shot clock and does not have a good understanding of when its a good time to shoot or not shoot. He basically just shoots is all the time. 5. He's not a good passer basically because he's only looking to shoot. 6. He'll turn the ball over because he forces shots. 7. He's a volume shooter. He needs to attempt alot of shots to score points because he doesn't hit for a high percentage from the outside. He'll get numbers when he puts up alot of shots or when he is hot.
Jax can be a real asset to our team, but not if he is in jail or shooting to much.
- Quis, really haven't seen much of his game, but from what I know he can get to the rim, defend on the perimeter (I still don't know why Avery didn't use him against Wade in the Finals, he has the size, strength quickness and smarts to defend the best scoring 2's in the NBA). He's got a good handle and is a good passer. However, he can't shoot from the perimeter and consequently he won't create as much space as Jax can for O'Neal to operate. He's really a good asset of the bench too and would strengthen our 2nd unit.
I'm confortable with him starting or coming off the bench. Let's hope the strip club incident is the one and only for him.
- Marshall, can't comment I haven't seen him play, but it sounds like he is aggressive going to the basket, but lacks an outside shot. At the very least he hasn't got in trouble off the court and he play's hard and aggressive. He is a good fall back of Jax is off the team and we need a backup for Quis.
- White, probably best sitting and watching this year. I haven't seen him play, but Carlise usually doesn't play rookies and from what I hear I'm not sure he is ready.
- Runi, ok when we want to have to 1's in the game together. With him an Tins in together we have great ball movement and his shooting can open up the floor for O'Neal and Harrington to operate. A lineup with Tins, Runi, Jax, Harrington and O'Neal has the potential to put a lot of points on the board if we are forced to play at a pace where we can't run and O'Neal would love this setup because it means he'll be posting up with alot of space. However, the matchups have to be right for Runi to be able to guard the other teams 2.
I'll be back to go over our 3's next time.

Whats for Dinner?
I think Im not alone when i say that a good dinner and some entertainment is a real morale booster. And i know its going to be hard on you the most when you cant provide for your family when your food runs out because there was only so much your BOB or SHTF bag can carry. Now, i know what your thinking "your BOB is only to hold you off till you reach another location" but i think there is a big chance you could not be able to reach another location for any lots of reasons. Yes you can fish, hunt, and set traps but its not like you are GUARANTEED to get something every time, and if you do how can you cook it in camp so you will want to eat it? What im asking what recipies, and entertainment you have for a time like this.
Here is what you have: Your BOB and its contents.
Bacon and powdered eggs for starters.
and when that runs out?
Eat the can.
Bring some fishing line and get some of those yo-yo spools or put line on a nice stick you find and fish the old fashioned way. Hunt using weapons and traps i.e.( pit falls, and what not.)
Entertainment, Imagination, cards, portable "road trip" games found cheap at wal-mart. These are just a few things you can do that dont take up much space. I have never used yo-yo reels or used a stick and line but hey It's worth a look.
A package of rice will supplement things as well and lasts a long time.
It would be great to see some actual survival recipes, some actual one where you made it with what you brought with you or found while heading to the hills.
Just make sure it has Bacon in it. Anything with Bacon in it can't be all bad

True Education—True Religion
It is my opinion that the roots of all education over the centuries are essentially religious. Education, and in fact religious education, has existed from time immemorial. I am aware of no culture, primitive or otherwise, that is not very much concerned with at least informal education, and even primitive cultures have placed more formal emphasis on religious education. I certainly do not mean by this that all education in all cultures has been based on truth. In fact, there have been many abuses, to the extent that some of the most grievous of man's sins against man have been perpetrated in the name of religion.
Perhaps this is one of the basic reasons why in our society today we observe the phenomenon of a conscious effort to secularize education, thus endangering the moral and character development of people. Even as early as Plato's day, he defined education as teaching those principles of character and morality that have been pronounced right by law and confirmed as truly right by the experience of the oldest and most just. (Robert Ulbich, History of Educational Thought, New York, American Book, 1950, p. 6.) Today it is painfully apparent that we live in a period that Alvin Toffler described as a time when the tempo of change and this process of secularization have arrived at a point in our civilization where institutions are overturned; values are shifted; and life's most meaningful roots shrunk. (Alvin Toffler, Future Shock, New York, Bantam Books, Inc., 1972, p. 1.)
Of course, I believe that what we need as a human society is true education and true religion because I maintain that all true education is essentially religious and all true religion is essentially educational.
I recall with warmth the faith-confirming experience that I had in my sophomore year of college in a human physiology course. Never before had the miracle of human life and the human body struck me with such power and conviction. I never did learn of what religious persuasion the professor was, but I shall never forget the impact on my life of what I learned and felt. That teacher was instrumental in helping me receive an expanded spiritual commitment that the genesis of life must be credited to a magnificent Creator and not chance.
I found great inspiration in a physics class and I discovered additional reverence for creation in a geology course. I shall never forget what I consider the religious educational experience I found in studying Spanish grammar, composition, and literature with one of the most effective and demanding teachers I have ever known at Brigham Young University. Far from being faith-destroying, I discovered that my experiences with psychology and philosophy became for me sources of strength to my faith. And, without embarrassment, I confess that on occasion I became misty-eyed with what I would describe as a spiritual experience by the beauty of some of the choice portions of poetry, literature, and music created by the masters.
If we as students and teachers would consider education generally with this perspective, can't you see how much more spiritual and exciting learning and life would be? The search for truth would be constant, and though we recognize that a great amount of those things taught or written today are of little eternal value, we nevertheless would be motivated to continue our quest for ideas and truth by sifting through whatever chaff there may be for the kernels of wheat to nourish us or the pearls of thought to delight us. Then, our learning or education could become a "religious experience" and a source of immense satisfaction and happiness.
, President, Missionary Training Center, Provo, Utah
The Lord said, "And he that will not take up his cross and follow me, and keep my commandments, the same shall not be saved." (D&C 56:2.) That is an interesting and meaningful phrase, to "take up [one's] cross." I wonder if taking up one's cross might mean to sacrifice whatever is necessary to be a true member of Christ's church, to accept full membership in the kingdom of God, to be a loyal, willing subject—that is, to put the kingdom of God first, above all other considerations.
The men and women who have lived as honored, faithful, and revered Latter-day Saints in the history of the Church are those who have contributed to the building of the kingdom of God and the eventual establishment of Zion. Because they have been one with the Brethren, they have been accepted of the Lord. We know that these Saints have exercised their free agency in a manner that brought great blessings to themselves. They have believed that loyalty to the living prophets is of great necessity in demonstrating their faith in God, although it requires setting aside personal feelings, ideas, and even comforts.

The Blessing of Blessings
My wife and I have been blessed with four lively little girls. Some time ago one of them became ill with an ear infection. We gave her some medication and put her to bed, but a short while later we could hear her crying again.
I went to her bedroom and realized that her ear was bothering her a great deal. She cried and tossed and turned in her crib; she wanted me to hold her, and yet she wanted to be in bed. You parents know how it is when a child is sick. I caressed her brow; I sang softly to her; I held her in my arms. She dozed momentarily and then was awake again. Comfort did not come to her.
For an hour I did everything that any other father could and would be disposed to do. But when I saw that she still suffered, I did something that only a few fathers can do for their children. I decided to give her a blessing. I knelt down at the side of her crib, put my hands through the bars and placed them on her head. The blessing was simple and not very long, but before I had finished my little girl had fallen asleep and she rested peacefully until morning.
I didn't have to go in search of a priest or a minister. The church of Jesus Christ gives to every father who is willing to meet the requirements the sacred privilege of holding the priesthood. We can bless our families and administer to them the saving ordinances.
Think for a moment, if you will, about your friends and relatives. Among them are there not many parents who love their children? Are there not among them fathers who would like to be able to bless their children? You brethren who know the joy of blessing your wife and children, wouldn't you like your brother, your cousin, your uncle, and your friend to have the same privilege? Are you willing to share that joy with them?

You guys are absolutely right regarding naming him and warning others. I'm going to give him one more chance to make it right over the next day or so, and if not, I will publicly name him (maybe I'm too merciful, I just want to be fair before he gets bad press all over)...not to spite him or to get back at him, but to prevent others from enduring the same frustration and wasted money.
If someone had posted a similar experience about him, I certainly wouldn't have had him touch my pistol. I'll let you know what happens in the next couple of days.
George, thanks for the tip on the Wilson sight. However, I looked into this option and the cut is not the same. Both are 60 degree X .300" wide, but the Heinie is .060 deep while the Wilson is .075. Using the Wilson would require rewelding and recutting the dovetail.
Many sincere thanks for the input...I'm rather new at getting work done by gunsmiths and its good to have confirmation that this type of service is unacceptable.

As most parents know, getting your kids to love their veggies can turn the kitchen into a battleground.
Food artist and author of "It's A Very Veggie World: A Delicious Rainbow of 25 Recipes Your Family Will Love," Clare Crespo, dropped by Access Hollywood Live to show how to make good for you food fun! Here are two of her kid-friendly recipes.
Veggie Wagon
(serves 4)
1 large eggplant
1 medium zucchini
1/4 cup margarine
1 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 toothpicks of skewers
Cut top quarter off eggplant lengthwise, leaving stem intact. Dice this piece (leave skin on). Scoop out eggplant from remaining piece (leaving half-inch thick wall of eggplant), and dice. Cut four half-inch thick slices from zucchini (for "wheels") and dice remaining zucchini.
Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is starting to color, about 5 minutes. Add diced zucchini, bell pepper, and diced eggplant and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, basil, salt, and pepper and cook until liquid evaporates.
Attach zucchini "wheels" to eggplant using toothpicks or skewers. Fill eggplant with cooked mixture.
Bear Paws
(serves 4)
3 medium sweet potatoes or yams, scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise into half-inch slices
2 tbsp. margarine, melted

Eurotunnel cross-Channel ferries 'anti-competitive'
Passengers and freight firms could face higher fares as a result of Eurotunnel running its own ferry services between Dover and Calais, a watchdog has said.
The Competition Commission has warned the Channel tunnel operator's ownership of MyFerryLink may be anti-competitive.
Eurotunnel bought three ships from operator SeaFrance after it went into liquidation to run the service.
The company said it would challenge the provisional findings of the Competition Commission.
P&O Ferries and DFDS also run ferries on the Dover to Calais route, but the commission said it believed it would be better if there were two independent ferry companies competing with the tunnel.
SeaFrance, which was owned by French state-owned rail firm SNCF, went into liquidation in November 2011. Eurotunnel bought three of its four ferries for £52m last year.
Sell business
The commission claimed Eurotunnel, which now runs 16 ferry crossings a day, bought the boats to prevent Danish rival DFDS from picking them up cheaply and driving down prices.
The commission said Eurotunnel may have to sell or dispose of the business to address its concerns.
Conservative MP for Dover and Deal, Charlie Elphicke, welcomed the report.
"Clearly (Eurotunnel) should sell the ships," he said. "They should go back to running the tunnel, which they do very well.
"They should get out of the ferry market and they should allow open competition without them trying to get too much market share."
Eurotunnel accused existing operators of using the commission process to protect their own interests.
It said its new brand, MyFerryLink, increased competition and brought more choice for customers.
"Eurotunnel intends to continue to work with the Competition Commission to allay the concerns raised by existing ferry operators and to demonstrate that the creation of MyFerryLink is a good thing for the market as it is both pro-customer and pro-competition," said chief executive Jacques Gounon.
The Competition Commission is expected to publish its final report on 14 April.

Back in June 2011, Twitter announced its t.co URL shortening tool, for formatting links of 20 characters or greater. Last week, they widened this to include all links tweeted directly through Twitter.com.
The official statement put out by the social networking giant so popular with UK business, claimed this would,
"protect (their) users from malicious content". Going on to say it would also, "offer insight on engagement".
Delivered well, it should prove beneficial to marketing professionals, digital relationship departments and SEO service providers.
Using the tool, all links will be automatically checked for malware, phishing scams, bogus domains and spam sites, and warn users accordingly. Unlike other popular link shortening tools, the t.co tool will display the full domain name to the user too.
The use of the service could not be simpler; requiring the author of the post to simply paste their link into their message. This will allow the administrators of Twitter accounts to tweet much faster, and with greater coherency.
The other aspect of the tool allows each link to be analysed for quality and impact.
This could provide invaluable information which is not always easy to determine, but, is thought likely only to be available to Twitter for internal use presently. It could be rolled out to users at a later date.
Whilst the first roll out will see the service only being made available for links posted direct to Twitter, it is possible that it could be used as a general link shortening service in the future.

DALLAS Kimberly-Clark has launched a new feminine care brand that hopes to redefine the personal care category.
U by Kotex includes tampons, pads and liners available in brightly colored and eye-catching designs, and focuses on the importance vaginal health through a open dialogue, Kimberly-Clark said. The company said it was prompted to launch the line after the release of "Break the Cycle: A Study on Vaginal Health," a study conducted online in August 2009 by Harris Interactive on behalf of U by Kotex, which surveyed more than 1,600 North American women ages 14 to 35 years. The study found that 7-in-10 women believe it's time for society to change how it talks about vaginal health, yet less than half (45%) feel empowered to make a difference.
"For the past 50 years, advertisers -- Kotex included -- have been perpetuating this cultural stigma by emphasizing that the best menstrual period is one that is ignored," said Andrew Meurer, VP North American group brands feminine/adult/senior care at Kimberly-Clark. "The way the Kotex brand will be positioned in the future will be very different. Moving forward, the tone of the Kotex brand's marketing will adhere to its new tagline, 'Break the Cycle.'"
In line with the debut of U by Kotex, the brand is launching a national integrated marketing campaign that frankly addresses vaginal health. According to published reports, some of the televised advertisements, slated to premiere this week, were prohibited from using the word "vagina" on broadcast networks; yet the ads mock censorship regarding the taboos surrounding such open discussions about vaginal health.
"What we like to say is 'We're taking the category from institutional care to personal care,'" Meurer added.

Industrial output across Britain rose by a robust 0.9% in February compared with activity in January, official data showed today, cementing the country's economic recovery.
Over 12 months, output jumped by 2.7%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) added in a statement.
Manufacturing output, which excludes mining and quarrying, electricity, gas and water supply, grew by 1% in February compared with January. It increased by 3.8% year-on-year, the ONS said.
Samuel Tombs, economist at the Capital Economics research group, said the figures "provide reassurance that the economic recovery has remained strong and broad-based" in Britain.
"February's industrial production figures confirm that the recovery in the manufacturing sector still has plenty of momentum. The solid 0.9% monthly rise in industrial production, the largest for eight months, largely reflected a 1% increase in manufacturing output," Mr Tombs added.
Overall, Britain's economy expanded by 1.7% last year, the strongest growth since before the financial crisis, and is forecast by the government to rally by 2.7% in 2014 ahead of next year's general election.

From my brief time on the Gulf Coast, I would agree with Z. G. Tampa was (its been quite a while now) one of the most depressing cities I have ever seen. It just felt "mean" somehow.
From a discussion on another board, it appears to have gotten better???
I still remember Ybor City being the battleground between a group of skinheads and a group calling itself "The African People's Socialist Party." Not to forget the Klan sherrif candidates in the surrounding counties.

New African Development Center in Willmar, Minn., to offer small business loans and promote cultural understanding
The African Development Center of Minneapolis will open a satellite office in Willmar in the coming week, signaling a significant investment in the community.
The ADC is a non-profit community development and commercial lending agency that seeks to help newcomers gain financial understanding and independence. Its Willmar office will serve Somali communities in Willmar, St. Cloud and Marshall.
Abdirizak Mahboub will be moving to Willmar in the next week to run the office. His wife and three children will join him later in September.
The center purchased the building at 516 Litchfield Ave. in downtown Willmar and has been remodeling it inside and out. A façade and awning were removed to reveal the original decorative brick on the front of the building.
The interior has been remodeled to make several offices, a reception area and rooms for classes and meetings. Walls and the exterior trim are painted green and orange, the signature colors of the ADC.
A grand opening is scheduled for noon to 7 p.m. Sept. 15. The 500 block of Litchfield Avenue will be closed for the celebration, which will feature food and music.
Mahboub introduced himself to representatives of nonprofits agencies this week at a networking meeting of the Minnesota Council on Nonprofits. He told them he has lived in the United States since 1981 and moved from the East Coast to the Twin Cities in 2007. He recently completed his master's degree in public affairs from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
The purchase of the building and the addition of full-time staff is a sign of the ADC's commitment to the area, Mahboub said. "We mean business coming to Willmar."
Willmar was chosen because "we wanted to get in the heart of the west," he said. "It's a very welcoming city; we are glad to be here in the Willmar area."
According to an ADC fact sheet, the ADC has a current portfolio of 139 clients and $4.4 million in loans. In the past five years, it has served more than 3,000 people, made 292 loans and funded 168 projects.
ADC programs are open to any Minnesotan without regard to ethnicity. The organization has been recognized as the top small business lender in Minneapolis for several years in a row.
Mahboub and other staff members from the center's Minneapolis office will work with small businesses and offer frequent classes for first-time homebuyers and financial literacy. The plan is to have three to four different training sessions each month, he said.
The classes will be taught mainly in English, he said. The center encourages new Americans going into business to learn English so they can serve their entire community.
One of the center's goals is to help newcomers build good credit and learn how to navigate an unfamiliar financial system.
"This (Somali) community comes with a lot of baggage in terms of not understanding the financial system," he said. People who don't understand the financial system can be taken advantage of, he added.
Mahboub said the center offers low-interest business loans with traditional financing or with options that allow Muslims to avoid paying interest.
Because the ADC is a financial agency and not a social service provider, he said, he will develop relationships with nonprofits in the community.
"No one organization can do everything; we all need each other," he said. "We try to partner with organizations that serve our clients."
Mahboub offered to help where he could to promote cultural understanding between the African newcomers and the rest of the community.
"We can connect on a lot of these things," said Roberto Valdez Jr., director of the Willmar Area Multicultural Business Center. Both organizations work with small businesses.
Christie Kurth of the Willmar Area Food Shelf said she would seek out his assistance in helping her and her staff better understand and serve Somali clients. "We do our best," she said, but they would welcome more cultural training.
In recent years, the food shelf has gone from serving an average of one Somali family a month to serving one family a day.
Mahboub said he will also try to help refugees deal with the culture shock they have experienced. It can take years to get used to a new country, he said. He joked that he experienced a serious culture shock when he came to this country and encountered a lesser one when he moved to the Midwest. "I'm trying to fit in."

Student Stories
One of the best ways to learn about the value of these programs is to listen to what the students themselves have to say. Each story below gives a snapshot of the student experience in the Oxford Tutorial Program. All give testimony to the transforming power of a semester or two as a visiting student at the University of Oxford.
English/History Student
I arrived at Regent's Park College, Oxford, England … six days before my twentieth birthday and two years after the start of my college career. It was a beautiful day and I remember it well. Getting there had been a dream and a journey. I had spent the previous academic year at Georgetown preparing with Dr. Apple and Dr. May. After much help, guidance, and a paper on the French revolution that I considered my greatest achievement thus far, I was finally where I had always wanted to be.
During my first term at Oxford I studied 19th century British history with a tutor from University College. Her office was located down an old corridor, past an ancient statue, up a rickety flight of stairs, through a breeze way and next to the cleaning cupboard. Inside, however, was a scene from Harry Potter. Old wooden bookshelves covered every corner of the room, accompanied by a huge hearth and antique sofas. She always began our tutorials by offering me a cup of tea and asking me how my week had been. We would then begin what I always considered friendly academic debate. I rarely won any of are discussions, but always left with the feeling of immense gain. This type of one on one environment gave me the opportunity to defend my argument to someone who was a specialist and author on the subject. It is a unique academic experience between tutor and student–one that strengthens one's confidence, as well as one's intellectual and oral skills.
During this first term, known as Michaelmas term, I also participated in crew. In December I was given the opportunity to compete in the Christ Church regatta, a 'friendly' competition between all beginning Oxford college crews. Seven other girls, one male cox, and I would wake up at 0600 three times a week and run down to the river for practice. At Georgetown I was a member of the cross-country team, but being at Oxford gave me the chance to taste the competitiveness of another sport, one well known to the British.
Outside of the Bodleian, the History Faculty Library and the boat house I spent Michaelmas term getting to know students at Regent's and becoming accustomed to the British way of life. I enjoyed visiting the common room for afternoon brew (commonly know to us Americans as tea), visiting the local Kebab vans for midnight snacks and dressing up in my gown for formal hall every Friday night. …
Before I departed for the United Kingdom a good friend told me 'this year abroad will change you…you will come back a different person.' Recounting my year now, I know she was right. As I write this testimony to my year at Oxford I am sitting in a computer lab at University College London. I am getting ready to embark on another journey, a M.Sc. in Social Anthropology. I feel confident in saying that I would not be here if it was not for my year at Oxford. … I was pushed to my outer limits at Oxford, but in the midst of that experience I realized that I could achieve what I thought would be impossible, and in doing so, I created new limits for myself.
Mathematics Student
As far as my studies were concerned, I consider my time at Oxford one of the best preparations for graduate school that I received. All three of my tutors were not only excellent instructors, but they demanded hard work and diligence with every assignment.
I studied at Regent's Park during the fall term. Being the only Georgetown student studying in Regent's at the time, I was very grateful that the other students were so welcoming. The social atmosphere at Regent's was very communal, and I was happy to get involved whenever I got the chance. Whether it was having a cup of afternoon tea, running to rowing practice at the crack of dawn, or being on the losing side of every football match, I loved every minute of it.
Adapting to the British culture and being able to enjoy the beauty and historical significance of Oxford was very rewarding. … Looking back on my time in Oxford, I feel privileged to have been offered this wonderful learning and social experience.
Theology/History Student
My experience at Regent's Park impacted me greatly, both personally and academically. The challenge of finding my way in another country, making new friends and adapting to a different way of study has greatly increased my abilities to learn and perform well in challenging settings. Receiving challenge and encouragement from the best minds in my field pushed me far beyond my expectations. The time I spent wrestling with ideas in the lecture halls, libraries and tutorials at one of the world's greatest universities helped me to discern my vocation with greater clarity and sense of purpose. I would make the same choice again without hesitation.
History/Philosophy/English Student
A photograph of the students and faculty (and, of course, Regent's Park College's mascot, Emmanuel the turtle) hangs in my office at the College of William and Mary—a graphic testament to the continuing significance of my time spent at Regent's Park. After all, my experience at Oxford shaped, and continues to shape, my scholarly development. The traditional tutorial-based format, in which students meet with their tutors once a week to discuss an essay that the student has written on a prescribed topic, gave me tremendous autonomy to study on my own initiative and without constant supervision—a skill invaluable in graduate school. Furthermore, the access to the impressive collections of Oxford's Bodleian Library facilitated my studies immensely. Yet not all my education took place in the libraries and classrooms. The cultural opportunities of living abroad broadened my horizons just as much as the academic curriculum. In walking the streets of Oxford, taking the short bus ride to London, or spending a long weekend with a Regent Park student's family in northern England, I began to appreciate the rich diversity of the world and was able to gain perspective on my own culture and community. Even more, my opportunity to travel through much of western Europe during the month-long Easter break allowed me to see many of the places I had so often studied in history classes, and taste cultures heretofore alien to me. I have a feeling that the Regent's Park photograph—and the significance of my Oxford experience—will stay with me no matter where my career takes me.
Art History Student
Certainly my experience attending Oxford University was a turning point in my life. Everyone is familiar with the prestigious reputation that the name Oxford University carries with it. However, after a semester studying art history there, Oxford exceeded my expectations!
Can you imagine a library that contains every book written since the 1600's? Many visitors to Oxford not permitted within the walls of the Bodleian Library, but Georgetown College students are matriculated as visiting students with the University with full library privileges.
As an art history student I did more than just read books and write papers each week. Assignments included: researching primary sources, special access to the Ashmolean Art Museum where I held priceless works of art by William Blake and J.M.W. Turner, and an assignment to study and write essays on certain artwork on display in London galleries and museums. In addition, while I was attending Oxford, I was given the opportunity to meet one-on-one in the London studio of a former president of the Royal Academy of Portrait Painters who gave me advice on my own painting. Lastly, I participated in events, seminars and fieldtrips with the Oxford Art History Society.
The experience of studying as a visiting student at Regent's Park College of Oxford University was not only an amazing academic experience, it was a fascinating period of personal growth. The experience has given me confidence to tackle personal goals. Interviewers never fail to highlight this global experience on my resume. The art education I received from Georgetown, coupled with the Oxford experience, has led me to start and develop an art business painting murals and portraits for private and commercial clients. Another effect of the Oxford experience is that it developed my research skills that I am currently applying in my second year at Chase College of Law.

Mazda Repair Questions? Ask Mechanics for Answers ASAP
Is fan working properly
I am thinking you need a water pump but just need to qask you a couple of questions.
Also when replacing the thermastate you will want to test it as they have been known to be bad even though new.
you would just boil water to get it to open at 190 it should open. Make sure you get all the bubbles and air out after replacement
if the is air between the thermastate and coolant it will have to over heat to open.
yes, fan wasn't working properly when I first got it but now after I replaced fan relay now the fans due kick on. One thing that I did notice is that the bottom hose where the thermostat is located wasn't getting hot at all. Also, I didn't get any any surge when I squeezed the bottom hose. The top radiator hose was getting hot.
how do you bleed this system?
You would want to run with cap off until bubbles are gone if temp gets to 3/4 hot turn off and let cool down when it cools down it will bleed some of the air
Then when it cools down start it again til you dont see bulbbles. or it hits 3/4 again then turn it off again.
it a pain I know.
I tried to let it run with cap off the resevoir since on this particular model the reservoir is actually pressurized. but it didn't seem to me that it was circulating.
is there any definitive way to know if water pump is circulating?
if all the bubbles are out it may be the water pump then. the hose under thermastate not getting hot could be air or a water pump
If its not circulating the water pump may be out.
with the cap off the reservior should you see movement in the reservoir tank? Or if you squeezed the bottom hose should you see any change in the level in the reservoir?
yes if you squeez hose it should push coolant
so if it doesn't would it definitely be water pump?
http://www.ehow.com/how_7679_tell-cars-water.html if there is a air gap no. Here are some tips on a bad water pump.
and here http://www.ehow.com/how_4813473_water-pump-bad.html
The water pump doesnt have to leak to be bad if blade breaks off
You dont want to damage the housing. The clamps pinch off or cut off if you will. The hose and clamp is one assembly. So you will have to replace the whole hose and clamp. Of course its a dealer tool and part. This is something when you get it back on you will have to have a hose clamp tool to crimp back on. With as complex as this could get you would want to have dealer do it with thier tools. Or at least show you hands on til your confident. If you have any other questions please let me know.
If you are not satisfied with my answer I can opt out for other experts to view your question. Your answer is the number one thing.

Yes mine too. They were on Britain's Got Talent back in 2007 where they reached the semis, so it was pretty awesome to see them on here. Would be nice if they had the same success here if not better. Them and John Pizzi the ventriloquist are two acts I've seen before as John was on last season but didn't make the live shows.Quote:
That said i think my favorite acts were the strength duo - and they are helped by having aerialist acts as well as the balance acts, and then the ventriloquist who is using a digital version of a ventriloquist dummy.
I am still dreading the return of Leonid the Magnificent, though. If he were to come back this would be his fourth try.

I have a stupid question due to something stupid I did. I was cooking some rice and accidently burnt some of it. The pot it was in was non-stick and pretty new so the rice came out with no problem. Is this pot still useable or do I need to replace it? I'm worried that the non-stick coating will mix in with anything I cook in it. (The pot is a Cusinart GreenGourmet so its not a teflon/PTFE non-stick pot.)
I cleaned the pot with soap and water and it looks like it did before this cooking disaster. Do I need to replace this pot or can I still use it?
