Here at the museum we are busy celebrating National Volunteer's Week by promoting the good work that our volunteers do, raising the profile of volunteering, and saying thank you to the amazing volunteers we have.
This second blog post focuses on our brand new Tea Room team led by The Friends of the Museum who are now running our new refreshment area in the Old Stable Block. Everyone working in here is a volunteer and all profits are being fed back into future museum projects and events. The new Tea Room has been developed as part of our Heritage Lottery Fund relaunch which has provided us with many more facilities and a better environment for our visitors.
It's a really exciting time for us at the museum to be able to offer our new tea room to our visitors, but also to be able to develop volunteering opportunities in the tea room.
Since opening on 26th March a strong team of volunteers has been established who are working to shape the tea room's future. But we need more help!!! If you are interested in helping out in the tea room (particularly over the summer holidays) please contact our Volunteer Corodinator Rebecca Buck on email@example.com.
The Old Stables Tea Room currently opens on a Thursday and Saturday and Monday to Saturday during school holidays 11am to 3pm.

Orphaned by the destruction of their home planet, Megamind and Metro Man have led two very different lives. Metro Man has had a privileged upbringing whereas Megamind has been brought up by the inmates of a local jail. Megamind has carried this chip on his shoulder for many years and decides he wants to be rid of his enemy once and for all. One day he actually achieves this goal and destroys Metro Man. But now that he has no nemesis, what will Megamind do with his time?

Threads, Not Just for Optimizations
Published on January 24, 2013 by Jesse Storimer
The Ruby community seems to be abuzz with people talking about threads. But often, the conversation is geared towards the fact that our machines all have multiple cores, and we (c|sh)ould be running our code in parallel, blazing fast on ALL the cores. I absolutely think this is a good idea, but I want to talk about the other side of the equation.
Threads aren't just for speed optimizations. Threads can help us organize our programs.
Threads to organize 'processes'
Threads can be a great way to organize our code into processes (I'm talking about operational processes here, not operating system processes), tasks, or functional units. I'll give you a few examples.
First, let's take a look at our beloved MRI. This example doesn't actually involve Ruby's
Thread class, it's something internal to MRI itself. If I boot up an
irb session and look at my Activity Monitor I see this:
Before I've run any code, MRI is already using 2 threads. You might think this is due to some gem that I've included in my
~/.irbrc, but it persists even if I start up
irb with the
-f option. So it's something inside MRI itself.
I asked a semi-related question on Twitter a while ago and got the answer to this:
@jstorimer MRI 1.9 uses a separate thread to handle signals, which starts on VM initialization. pipe may be used to communicate the info.— deepfryed (@deepfryed) March 31, 2012
So when MRI boots, it spawns a thread that registers handlers for Unix signals. You can see this for yourself, if you read C or are feeling adventurous, in MRI's
thread_pthread.c. Why does it do this?
It's a smart way to organize one particular process of a program: signal handling. Rubinius uses the same strategy, as does the JVM.
It stems from two important facts:
Firstly, In MRI, Ruby threads are backed by native OS-level threads. Each time you do
Thread.start, the OS will be spawning a new thread.
When a signal is delivered to a multithreaded process that has established a signal handler, the kernel arbitrarily selects one thread in the process to which to deliver the signal and invokes the handler in that thread.
Quoted directly from The Linux Programming Interface Section 33.2.1.
When we have our code running in multiple threads that are interacting, we need to wary of things that may go awry in terms of synchronization, locking, etc. Then throw into the mix that a signal may arrive at any time and asynchronously interrupt our program, perhaps this would add more problems related to re-entrancy, race conditions, etc.
Thankfully, MRI makes this a non-issue. MRI starts up a dedicated thread to handle these asynchronous signals, and feed them to the main thread in a synchronous fashion (using the aforementioned Unix pipe). This way, there's a little bit less uncertainty as to what the behaviour will be when a Unix signal arrives. This is actually the recommended behaviour for multithreaded programs as described in The Linux Programming Interface.
So Ruby uses a dedicated thread to handle incoming Unix signals. This has nothing to do with speeding things up, it's just good programming practice. One more example.
Threads to wait on Unix processes
When you spawn a new Unix process using
fork, you really should either wait for it to finish using
Process.wait, or detach from it using
Process.detach. The reason is that when the process exits, it leaves behind some information about its exit status. This status info can't be cleaned up until it's been consumed by the parent process using
Process.wait. When you use something like
Process.spawn or backticks,
Process.wait is called internally to cleanup the aforementioned status info.
Sometimes, if you're forking a process directly using
fork, you don't care about the exit status info. In this case you can use
Process.detach to register your disinterest in that status info. Whereas
Process.wait is a pretty direct hook into the wait(2) system call,
Process.detach is purely a Rubyland construct. We can look to Rubinius to show us the pure-Ruby implementation:
def self.detach(pid)
raise ArgumentError, "Only positive pids may be detached" unless pid > 0
thread = Thread.new { Process.wait pid; $? }
thread[:pid] = pid
def thread.pid; self[:pid] end
Process.detach is just a thin wrapper around
Process.wait, using a background thread to wait for the return value of
Process.wait, while the main thread continues execution concurrently.
Again, this has nothing to do with speed, but allows the proper housekeeping to be done without burdening the program with extra state.
Speed is good too
Threads certainly can be used to make our code do things faster and more efficiently. My intention was to shed some light on other use cases for threads that don't get talked about as much.
MRI, Rubinius, and the JVM use a dedicated thread to receive incoming Unix signals. Ruby's
Process.detach uses a thread to wait for the return value of the blocking
Process.wait method. Threads aren't just optimizations.

7 Useful Web Design TipsMay 12th, 2008 in Articles, Web Design Tips by kailoon
What do you think about web design? You can find the articles related to "how to" do web design everywhere by mentioning as "top tips" or else. However, I did read it and find it useful. I recommend them to those who are willing to step into this field or those who can't get himself on the hot list for quite a long time. Here, I will giving some tips from my point of view and also some will be taken from other experienced web designers. I am not saying that I am so pro in this field and want to act here but just wish to share my opinion and tips.
1. Structuring
I found that this is even more important than what kind design you are going to use. To get this done, I need to do some analysis and research about the site I am going to build. For example, target users, functions, Colors and always see from the users' side. After I gather all the information, then I can only start drawing out the layout and decided what to focus and what isn't important.
2. Sketching
So we all know, we do our job in Photoshop or other softwares. But, before that, I recommend that we start by using a pencil and papers. I prefer to sketch out the layout and write down the important notes we need. This will always save me a lot of times to try in Photoshop directly.
3. Concept
Do not try to put all the nice design elements that you get from the popular sites in one page. This will not make your site perfect but may destroy the whole site. For example, kailoon.com, I am using some elements that related to stone age and I avoid all fancy things and also those orb effects or reflection which considered as web 2.0 must used elements. (actually, web 2.0 is all about reflection also, it is more on the function wise). It will only makes the whole thing not match to each others and i usually describe this as a "rojak site". Means "mixing the trendy elements" into one "bowl".
I prefer to use the concept based on the logo. It is because, the first thing people will see when browsing a site is the logo, top left or even center. Then only he will continue to navigate the site. So, the logo concept will easily go into their mind and influence the rest of the reading. For example, If the logo is something smooth, soft or light. I will choose something relevant and use some different style on the important section to attract attention. The elements you can used based on the logo are the colors, style and perspective.
4. Web Usability
Is kind of how you judge whether it is a good web design or not. A fantastic web design but users find no where to navigate it and a normal, clean web design interface and users can easily understand the message and navigate. Which will your client go for? Combination of both advantages? Here is an interesting comic to explain it. And you also can refer to what Jakob Nielsen talk about usability.
make it short, even thought your web interface is very nice and creative. People can't navigate it and leave, then your works and efforts will be wasted. means useless!
5. Consistency
The main thing in my mind when doing design job is the consistency. I know this maybe also defined as "same, boring, not creative" by some of you. but the thing is, inconsistency can makes your users lost when navigating your site. I also prefer to use not more than 3 types of fonts (left side of the example)in a web design. This also make the whole site look more balance and look like all under one roof. Else, it will become like what you see on the right hand side.
6. Right technology at the right time
Nowadays, people like to use mootools or ajax to create some nice effects. But, is it all necessary? I admit that the effects look cool and I also use it in my site here. However, I just use it for a try because I never try this before. And, I use it after I I completed my web design. What I want to say is we do not decide what technology we are going to used before we decide what we are going to build. It's not about building the solution before there's a problem. It's about having a problem and using the right technology to solve that problem.
I can find this mostly in the portfolio sites from the web designer who wish to show to their clients that they are capable on doing this kind of cool stuffs. Sometimes, we only need something simple and well organized to gain the confident of the clients.
7. Spacing and Padding
This is very important to make sure that your site will not look like a spam site or "rojak site". It also help users to read your content more easily. More white space can make your interface look more clean and well organized. What we need to do is make sure there is some padding for the content with the edge of the container or frame. For example:
Forgive me if anything I said is wrong and you may find that I am not inserting those sites with the problems I mentioned above. I don't want to hurt anyone and this is just my opinions and tips about web design that I learn from my experiences. Hope this article and help you. My purpose here is to share and also try to educate those clients to listen more from the web designer they hired.

How a three-hour, minimally invasive procedure gave one patient with liver cancer another chance at life
When Georgeann Jansson was diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, the most common form of primary liver cancer, she immediately met with an oncologist to determine the best course of action.
The treatment would be taxing. She would either need to undergo surgery to remove part of her liver or be treated by rounds of chemotherapy and/or radiation. And the prognosis was bleak – even with this aggressive strategy, she would potentially have just a few more months to live.
For Georgeann, who had spent the last few years battling a myriad of health challenges, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, cirrhosis and severe anemia, those extra months just weren't worth the physical toll this treatment strategy would take.
"I have had too many family members who went through chemo and radiation." Georgeann explained. "When I found out that this option would only buy me a few months, I decided to ride it out and, if it was my time, to die."
But then an acquaintance told Georgeann about Dr. Marcelo Guimaraes, a Vascular Interventional Radiologist at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) who has successfully treated patients with cancer in a less invasive way. So she sought out a second opinion.
No radiation, no chemo, in and out of the hospital
- it sounded like parole to a prisoner!
— Georgeann Jansson,
patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Georgeann met with Dr. Guimaraes, who recommended transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), a minimally-invasive procedure that uses an X-ray guided catheter to deliver local chemotherapy, lipiodol (a poppy seed oil that is opaque to radiation) and beads to block liver cancer blood vessels. Because the chemotherapy is so targeted and the lipiodol and beads help reduce the amount of medicine leaving the liver, patients typically do not suffer the same side effects as they would with traditional chemotherapy.1
Dr. Guimaraes suggested pairing TACE with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy, which uses a heating probe to kill tumors. After a long discussion, Georgeann agreed to the procedure.
"No radiation, no chemo, in and out of the hospital - it sounded like parole to a prisoner!" Georgeann explained. "I was totally floored by Dr. Guimaraes' knowledge and dedication to the procedure. I realized I had a chance that I couldn't turn down…I had no reservations whatsoever."
Days later, Georgeann arrived at MUSC ready for the procedure. Dr. Guimaraes placed her in the angiography suite, made a 2-millimeter incision in her arm and used GE's Discovery™ IGS 740 to take 3D cone-beam CT images, which helped him locate the artery supplying the tumor with blood.
He then used GE's Liver ASSIST solution2 to help pinpoint where to maneuver the catheter and release the mix of lipiodol chemotherapy followed by beads.
Once the beads were successfully injected, Dr. Guimaraes used the 3D cone-beam CT images with GE's Needle ASSIST solution3 to help him determine the precise needle trajectories for radiofrequency ablation. Once identified, he inserted the needles around the tumor and applied heat to reduce its size.
The entire procedure took approximately three hours and Georgeann was released from the hospital later that day. Within a week, she completely recovered from any surgery site pain and one month later, she received a follow up MRI, which showed promising results - the tumor was dead, without evidence of residual disease or complication.
Today, over one year since Georgeann's initial appointment with Dr. Guimaraes, her tumor remains under control, without evidence of recurrence or new lesions. While Dr. Guimaraes will continue to regularly monitor Georgeann's liver, the progress so far has provided an incredible amount of physical and emotional relief.
"Every day is a gift. " Georgeann said. "Even though I have other diseases to contend with, it's the mental freedom from this that makes me feel better. I'm here and able to see a new day and that is directly due to Dr. Guimaraes and his staff, their knowledge and dedication and the technology that kept me here."
Dr. Guimaraes is a paid consultant for GE Healthcare. The Statements by GE's customer and patient described here are based on results that were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist i.e. hospital size, case mix, there can be no guarantee that other customers or patients will achieve the same results.

Grant's Sous Vide cooking equipment is precision temperature cooking - the most consistent way of cooking!
The principle of cooking food sous vide is simple: food (e.g. a cut of meat) is vacuum sealed in a pouch with/without an accompanying sauce or seasoning, and then cooked in a precision temperature controlled bath at comparatively low temperatures (typically around 70°C). Sous vide cooking method is mainly used for cooking meat and fish, vegetables and fruit and offers a range of key benefits:
- Consistency: each dish is the same, every time
- Flexibility: no rush, leave in to cook for an extra hour with no effect on quality
- Lower energy: less heat extraction, less heat in the kitchen. Little energy to maintain temperatures
- Quality: achieve excellence in molecular gastronomy. Experiment and invent new dishes
- Workflow: Food portions can be prepared in advance, vacuum sealed and stored in a refrigerator for comparatively long periods of time – ideal for coping with the peaks and troughs in activity and for master kitchens supplying 'satellite' kitchens
- Cheaper cuts: transform cheaper cuts of meat into premium. Make same quality dishes, only cheaper

Texas Fusion Paella, Texas Tempranillo and Flamenco Music were front and center at Ab Astris Winery in Stonewall, TX.
What better way to celebrate Tempranillo in the Texas Hill Country than to pair it with a paella that is filled with smokey brisket, chorizo, andouille and chicken with a rich, flavorful broth.
*My Paella Travels is my mobile Paella Catering Business creating paella events for private events as well as winery events. They are a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.*
Ab Astris Winery, located a few miles outside of Fredericksburg, opened their doors and began pouring wine earlier in the spring. They wanted to do something fun for their wine club member pick up and decided that paella and music would be a great way to celebrate. You can stop by their tasting room to sip and sample their wines from Texas grown grapes including their awesome Tannat, Tempranillo, Montepulciano and Roussanne, to name just a few. Please check out their winery and website for their current releases and wine club here.
Guests enjoyed wine and cheese boards while listening to the soulful and jazzy Flamenco music by Nathan Hinojosa.
Ab Astris means of the stars and it seemed that everyone was sitting under the stars (Estrellas) enjoying their Saturday afternoon. The fire pits were keeping everyone cozy and the food and wine was keeping everyone happy.
With the help of my daughter and husband, we served over 70 guests with three paellas! It was a busy afternoon but we loved it.
As you can see, my dear husband Eddie is in charge of keeping my paella pans nice and shiny! Can you tell how excited he is to be doing that? LOL! Actually, he's pretty obsessive with keeping my pans clean and shiny before and after each event. No! He's not for hire. He's mine!
This lively group of winery guests really loved my paella!
Wine, paella and music under the big Texas Hill Country sky – a glorious afternoon.

Epic – [ep-ik] – heroic; majestic; impressively great; spectacular; very impressive; awesome.
I am epic.
When I was five, seven year-old Guy Rainey stole my green boots. I tackled him, ripped my precious boots from his feet and proudly walked home with my prize.
I have a law degree.
When I was six, I kicked an old lady in the shins for telling me to be nice to my older brother.
I was voted most likely to succeed by my homeroom peers as a freshman in high school.
I lost the junior class president election to Jay Seedall and student body president election to Chris Wright before I was elected senior class president in a sympathy vote. Something can be said for persistence.
The Rotary Club elected me Youth of the Year for Idaho in 1990.
I won the regional Cub Scout Olympics in 1981 and 1982 because I could do 66 pushups in a minute. I can do more today.
As a fifth grader I went undefeated in wrestling in the 55-pound class. I won my first match by choking a boy in a headlock until he cried.
As a junior in high school, the football coach told me I was getting pretty big…for an 8th grader. I decided not to play football that year.
I have five children: Parker, Katherine, Andrew, Ethan and Dylan. I helped deliver Andrew and Ethan. I got dehydrated doing my part to conceive Dylan and was sick for a week.
I can drive a golf ball far, but I am a lousy putter.
I have eaten sushi in a 300 year old Japanese restaurant, tasted some nasty fish soup in Taiwan, got lost at 3:30 in the morning in the Netherlands, fought in the octagon with a former champ, jumped out of two airplanes, got run over by a car on my motorcycle and filmed my own leg surgery, raised millions of dollars for my companies, surfed waves of wind on a mountain top and once flew from Taiwan to Japan to Chicago to Amsterdam in the same day.
I am 42 years old, I am 5 foot 10 inches tall, I weigh 170 pounds and I can Cross Fit with the 25 year olds.
I have moderately high cholesterol and I use Rogaine to prevent any more of my hair from falling out.
I almost worked for the CIA as a recruiter. I would have made the perfect assassin because I am perfectly forgettable. However, I would have had a problem with that killing thing.
I am a regular top income earner and executive in network marketing and I have been married to a beautiful blonde since 1998. We got engaged on the top of the fertility pyramid on trip for top performers to Mexico.
I am epic.
Whether or not you agree with my self-appointed title of "Epic" does not matter. After reading the hodge-podge of bullet points from the first 42 years of my life, my purpose in writing is to help you too to become epic.
I have spent more than a decade making videos about other people, telling their stories, helping them make money and become compelling to others. I want to help you to become Epic and then help others to do the same.
Life is meant to be lived. Money is meant to be earned, saved and occasionally spent on things that just make you happy. I have money, but I want more of it. I have friends and I cherish them and what they bring to my life. I hope you also want to make more money, surround yourself with more friends and be more epic.
Becoming epic will help you feel comfortable in your own skin and helping others to do the same. When you understand there is an epic version of you, maybe you will set bigger goals, live life more, help more people and have the confidence to achieve heroic, majestic, impressively great, spectacular, very impressive and awesome things.
It's time to be epic.

"This must be the hardest part of your job" I said to the veterinarian as she prepared the needle. She shook her head no, "This is the hardest part of pet ownership" she said.
Whether it was compassion in the face of my poorly restrained emotions and open expression of pain and loss or the truth of how she felt, at that moment it was the only truth of the world to me.
Twelve hours earlier I had come rushing in through the doors like a thunderstorm with my eighteen year old cat, Boscoe, in my arms, wrapped in blankets. Ushered quickly into the examination room he was assessed and treated for Addisonian shock.
No response to the treatment or medications. No improvement from re-hydration. Not responding to warmth. He was 'shutting down'.
The logic was simple, it was the rational decision to make, the right one for him ... and incredibly hard. I suspected it would be, but I wasn't expecting it to be this hard. I had to make the choice of what to do. I wasn't ready for it.
I had assumed he was aging appropriately and gradually - slowing down in every way, eating and drinking less, missing the litter box a little more often and sleeping a fair amount. Just six or so months past he was diagnosed with Addison disease and had responded to treatment.
I would like to say I didn't see this coming, but I knew it was coming. I pushed it off to the far recesses of my brain and stubbornly ignored it, while doing all I could to keep him happy, safe, living a good life. It wasn't until he fell to his side one day and couldn't get up that I said to myself, "I can't keep doing this to him".
I never gave this day much thought, what I would do or could afford to do. I never pondered on the what and hows of the act either. I didn't even know how to decide or what to expect.
Signs Of Dying In Older Pets
The signs of aging in our pets and the signs of approaching death are quite similar, the only distinction being the severity or degree of the symptoms. As older animals shut down there are some basic symptoms common across the board.
Nearly all animals stop eating and drinking when death is imminent, but this is not always noticed by the pet owner till the animal starts to look a little dehydrated or wasted. Sunken eyes, lack of elasticity in the skin or less need to use the litter box are all signs of anorexia.
Your pet stops using the litter box (for cats), dogs no longer want to go for walks. They become incontinent as their muscles relax and they lose control of their bowels. Some illnesses can cause an odour that starts as bad breath and soon becomes an all over effect.
They lose interest in the things around them - toys, you, that noise down the hall, food and water.
The heart rate lowers, dramatically, to just a fraction of its normal rate. Breathing becomes laboured as less oxygen is available to the lungs due to the lowered heart rate. Blood pressure drops quickly, causing weakness. The body temperature begins to cool and does not respond to being warmed up.
Deciding It's Time
There are no hard and fast rules to deciding when it is time to euthanize your pet. Every situation, illness and pet is different. But you can do a few things to help you get to the answer for your pet and situation.
One of the first things you should do is speak with the vet on your pets condition. Bringing someone along who is not as emotionally invested in your pet as you are is a good idea too. They can add a perspective that you the pet owner may miss. Ask questions about everything – is there any further treatments, what to expect, is pain involved, how long, what are the odds of recovery, quality of life and so on.Credit: AcadiaVet
Once you're done questioning the vet and gleaming medical information and professional advice, you have to ask yourself a few questions. Particularly if you have not fully come to terms with the situation and are hemming and hawing over it. Ask yourself whose interests are you taking into account, is this the best decision (either for it or against it) for me or for my pet, and be honest with yourself, even if you find you are thinking of only your own interests. Talk to others around you or who have gone through this already.
Look at the quality of life your pet will have if you decide it is not the time. Has the pet stopped eating and needs force-feeding? Has the pet become incontinent to the point of soiling themselves? Do they have any interest in their favourite activities, treats or people? Is mobility hindered to a great degree? Laboured breathing?
As hard as it is you have to look at what is best in regards to both emotional cost and the financial. While you want to do what is best for your pet, you also have to do what is best for everyone else involved. Be honest and ask yourself if you are actually able to manage the care they will need at home, often high needs care. Can you afford all the extra costs, the time and the emotional ride of watching them decline and or die at home.
As my pet was not in pain, the main deciding factor was the quality of his life. Was palliative care an option? Are there more good days than bad days? Does he still do the things he loves? In my case, my cat's quality of life would have been me carrying him around all day, holding him up in the litter box, force feeding and rehydrating. His life would have been a joyless drag as there was little to no hope of improvement.
I made the difficult decision.
Saying Good-bye
Pets live in the moment, not in the past and no concerns for the future. They are always in the present. It doesn't matter how many times you walk in and out of the door, they're always happy to see you. I don't believe for a second my cat was reliving his life and all the joyous moments. He was laying there afraid and sick and dying.
Saying good-bye is never easy, it's not any easier either when you are confident that you made the right choice, for your pet and not for yourself. Relive some great memories, tell them how good they were, how loved, how much they will be missed. Give them hugs, kiss them, stroke their heads and talk assuredly to them.
How you say good-bye is up to you, but it is important that you (and other family members) do say good-bye. Choosing to be present at the time of euthanizing or not, is also up to you. For many pet owner watching them go is heart wrenching, while others take comfort in being there for their pet. Not all want their last image of the pet to be of them dying.
From my experience, I am glad I was there for him and could hold him while it happened, but I do hold some regrets in looking down and seeing the needle empty into the shunt he had in.
What To Expect and What Happens
Euthanasia is virtually a pain-free and peaceful process. It can often be done at the pets home by a veterinarian, but all too often it is done in the examination room or the vet's office. Credit: pawshpalKnowing what is going to happen and what the pet experiences can be helpful in making the whole process less traumatic for you.
Our vet explained everything that was going to happen step by step and even explained what would be happening with our pet. In an odd way it was comforting to know, but made the whole experience no less emotional.
We had to sign papers that we understood everything explained to us, we spoke briefly on what we wanted done with the body – burial, private or public cremation. I choose public as I did not want his ashes. I would never fully let him go if he was in my living room even in ashes form.
Whether you are holding the pet it's on a table or the floor with you stroking them, the veterinarian will likely use an over dose of pentobarbital. The first shot depresses the central nervous system, starting with the part of the brain that is responsible for awareness, the second shot causes anesthesia – an absence of pain and induces death by stopping the lung function followed by cardiac arrest.
The entire emotionally intense experience was quite quick, no more than fifteen or so seconds. It was peaceful in every sense of the word.
I do want to point out that when I asked the veterinarian about letting him die at home on his own, she was quite honest and blunt with me. Animals die in your sleep, not theirs. They lay awake the whole time while their body shuts down, panic and fear arise when the breathing becomes laboured or confusion hits. It could take hours for an animal to die 'naturally'. Euthanasia is a quick, clean and relatively pain-free death in comparison.
The decision to euthanize a loved pet is a difficult, emotional, stressful and intense one. Preparing yourself for it if possible, is always smart. It really does help.
Humans and their pets, often irregardless of the amount of time spent together, whether a few years or twenty, develop strong bonds that run deep. You are going to grieve your loss, some will grieve as deeply as if they just lost a family member or friend.
Your pet was likely your companion, devoted family member, the best friend that was always there – good or bad. They become members of the family. Grieving their loss is only natural.
Everyone grieves in different ways, different intensities and react differently to grief. Most people will experience the multi stages of grieving.Credit: unknown
Cry, show outward signs of sadness, your loss and how you feel. Talk to people who you believe would understand what you are experiencing. Try and go out often or stay busy and try not to dwell on it.
You may feel guilty after the fact, convincing yourself there was more you could have done, it would have turned out all right. It's natural to feel guilt when you have made the decision to euthanize your pet, but you really shouldn't as you probably put a lot of thought into it and it was the right choice.
There are a plethora of way to express your grief and to do things that your feel honour your pets memory. Have a back yard memorial. Make a ceremony out of the scattering of the ashes (if you kept them). Write about you and your pets memories. Draw them if that works better for you. Plant a tree or a garden in his memory. Donate to animal shelters in the pet's name.
They enriched your life, touched your heart and became your best friend – choosing to let them go when they are too old to enjoy life, in pain or have a low quality of life takes a lot of strength, love and compassion to do.
Feel free to share your experience, so that others may learn from your experience too.

How to Prep Portobello Mushrooms
1. Rub the caps with a paper or cloth towel or use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. (It is not necessary to peel cultivated mushrooms, such as portobellos, which grow in sterilized compost mixture.)
What You'll Need:
- Paper or cloth towels and/or a vegetable brush
- Chef's knife
- Serrated-edge grapefruit spoon or spoon to remove gills
- Large heavy-bottomed skillet
- Cutting board
- Large bowl
- Pepper mill
- Garlic press
2. Pull off any stems and save for soup stock.
Tip: Wiggle stem back and forth gently to avoid wasting excess mushroom.
3. If the caps have very dark gills, you may wish to remove them. Using a small spoon, paring knife or a serrated-edge grapefruit spoon, scrape off the gills and discard.
4. Use portobello caps whole or sliced or cut them in half and then slice. Cut them into 1/2-inch squares for chunky sauces, or use them as a receptacle for savory stuffing.

VH1's move back into the dating space continues next month with the launch of "What Chilli Wants."
The reality skein, starring Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas — one-third of 1990s supergroup TLC — bows Sunday, April 11, at 10:30 p.m. on VH1.
Show, which received an eight-episode order last year, centers on Chilli as she enlists the help of relationships expert Tionna Smalls to find love.
Smalls, in turn, brings Chilli's celeb pals — including TLC partner Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Missy Elliot — on board for insight into "What Chilli Wants."
According to VH1, Chilli's "checklist" for a man includes "eight-pack abs, a gorgeous face, funny, loves kids, is religious, can't smoke, can't drink, can't eat pork."
VH1 plans to air a sneak of the premiere episode on its website beginning March 29.
FremantleMedia North America produces the show. Larry Barron, Kevin Williams, Bill Diggins and Chilli exec produce with VH1's Jim Ackerman, Dave Hamilton and Jeff Olde.
Chilli also starred in the UPN reality competish "R U the Girl with T-Boz and Chilli."
VH1 hasn't shied away from the celebrity-meets-dating genre; last week it tapped NFL star Chad Ochocinco to star in "The Tournament," in which women compete to go out with the Cincinnati Bengals player.

There are numerous controversies, half-truths, and opinions…most condemnatory…floating around the net about exotic animals as pets. Most of the vitriol is coming from men and women who haven't, have no wish to, and will never own an exotic animal. I hope my articles can clear the air and give a balanced point of view. The exotic pet trade is neither perfect nor an atrocity. It is merely like any other pet trade.
They must be fed a nutritionally comprehensive (meeting the requirements of AAFCO), meat-based, higher-energy extruded dry dog food with attainable supplementation of (also for enrichment) whole prey products (around five-10% of the diet). We will have dog and handler passes accessible plus Auto Park vouchers if needed, we can only issue one particular dog & handler pass per volunteer we might be in a position issue to added passes where PAT dogs are registered in joint names but this will be topic to availability. We got video of Vikram rambling as he tried explaining what went down. There appeared to be a burn mark on 1 of the dogs. They do not have a dog-like psychological cooperation with humans and do not comprehend correction.
If you know of an upcoming event, a cool item, a new pet supply shop, etc. in the Madison, WI region, please let me know ! My husband and his daughter had a chicken as a pet. It lived in the residence from the time it was a baby so it regarded as them its flock. The negative news is that there are some fairly potty names out there to keep pet owners and buddies of fur and enjoyable scratching their heads a small or else laughing out loud!
I think it is so cute! What a great blog! I am attempting to turn into a vegetarian because I see how badly the industries treat these poor chickens. Now that I see the much more personable side of chickens it makes me even that more disciplined to quit eating meat. Who knew chickens could be so cool. Once more, use either violet or magenta, or both. Note: If these colors are not offered, white may possibly be substituted. Hold the candle and think about it with the traits you want it to represent.
It really only took him a day to realise that the staff and volunteers here were not going to hurt him, he rapidly relaxed to show his true nature. Tip is a Shih Tzu variety mixed breed kind and around 2 years of age. We all think he's a little bit unique so do not delay if your interested in this variety of rescue dog. significantly, much a lot more price friendly. I spent close to $100 on toys for my rats when I initial got them. same toys continue to get ignored whilst the house meade ones are a consistant hit! As a side note, goldfish who survive for some time in stressful waters are most likely only acclimated to the ammonia, which is not necessarily a very good point. It is nevertheless wearing down on their well being, and too higher of a level of ammonia will totally nevertheless kill them. LSU says Mike's caretakers kept a close watch throughout his final hours to make positive he did not suffer.

BRITISH COLUMBIA – FPX Nickel of Vancouver has results from three of the eight diamond drill holes in the Baptiste deposit at the Decar nickel-iron project 80 km north of Fort St. James. These are the first holes drilled at the project since 2012, and they support the potential for resource expansion beyond the limits of the 2013 preliminary economic assessment.
FPX says high grade nickel mineralization was cut over broad, near surface intervals in hole 63 and 65 collared 250 metres east and 420 metres southeast, respectively, of the previous pit outline. Hole 63 intersected 104 metres grading 0.164% nickel starting at a vertical depth of 66 metres. Hole 65 cut 132 metres grading 0.147% nickel beginning 22 metres below surface. Mineralization at the Decar property is a disseminated, coarse grained nickel-iron alloy (awaruite) hosted in ultramafic rocks.
Previous drilling from 2010 to 2012 defined mineralization along a 2.5-km strike length, and the new results expand the strike length a further 650 metres in a southeast direction.
Further information about the Decar project is available at www.FPXnickel.com.

Pietersen takes to twitter to deny taping allegations
ENGLAND batsman Kevin Pietersen hates the media at the best of times, and he doesn't do press unless he has too, such as winning a man of the match award.
Any hopes of a change in that stance look even more remote after Channel Nine implied Pietersen had been using silicon tape on his bat to prevent the detection of edges and cheat Hot Spot during the Ashes series.
The report, which only named Pietersen, also suggested players from both sides also used the tape.
An angry Pietersen took to Twitter to defend himself over the allegation.
"Horrible journalism yet again!" he tweeted.
"My name brought up in hotspot crisis suggesting I use silicon to prevent nicks showing! Such hurtful lies.
"How stupid would I be to try & hide a nick when it could save me on an LBW appeal, like in 1st innings (at Old Trafford) where hotspot showed I nicked it.
"I am never afraid of getting out! If I nick it, I'll walk. To suggest I cheat by covering my bat with silicon infuriates me."
The England and Wales Cricket Board wants an apology and explanation from the broadcaster.
Australian captain Michael Clarke also had his say, insisting none of his squad were cheats.
"I didn't know there was such a thing you could do to hide nicking the ball on Hot Spot," he said.
"I wouldn't think it would make any difference. I've never heard of anyone doing it."
The drama has added more intrigue to the fourth Test which starts in Durham tonight.
Despite rain ending Australia's hopes of winning the Ashes at Old Trafford earlier this week, batsman Steve Smith said there was still plenty to play for.
"It would be nice to get a win on the board here. We're obviously disappointed that last day at Old Trafford. We were clearly in the box position and looking to drive the game forward there," he said.
"That's our sole focus at the moment, to try and win this Test match and then level the series when we go to The Oval."
It won't be easy though, as England has won all four of its Tests at Durham - three have been by an innings - and paceman James Anderson loves the venue.
He has taken 15 wickets in two Tests at an average of 14, his best at any venue.
Australia's only selection decision is whether to include seamer Jackson Bird, the only member of their 12-man squad who did not play in Manchester.
England: Alastair Cook, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Onions, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Joe Root, Graeme Swann, Chris Tremlett, Jonathan Trott.
Australia: Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Jackson Bird, Ryan Harris, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Chris Rogers, Peter Siddle, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Shane Watson.

Nine months after a seemingly perfect beach proposal, "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba and actor Robb Derringer are reportedly over!
People magazine reports that the couple has quietly called off their engagement.
Last week, Carrie sparked breakup rumors after posting a cryptic Instagram post, which read, "Just when I think I've learned the way to live, life changes." Along with the quote, she captioned the post with a broken heart emoji and prayer hands.
Earlier this month, Carrie and Robb appeared to be on the same page with their wedding plans. She told Us Weekly, "What's really fun is that Robb and I are doing it together and I like that. I like that we talk about every single step of the way. It's almost like that's the wedding – the process of planning – it's the process itself that brings you closer together, so that's really exciting."
They were planning to tie the knot in Hawaii. She revealed, "My dream wedding would be outdoors – on the beach, for sure. Robb and I both want the ocean and nature to be involved, because we're both very close to the ocean. We both know we want to live there one day, and it's one of the areas we bond in the most."

He walked through the halls as if he had no purpose.
He seemed so confused by all the people who seemed to be in such a hurry around him.
He didn't know why he didn't have that drive in his life.
He didn't seem to have anywhere to go and no idea what he really wanted either.

Hi Jock, Regarding our reading. Hi Jock, Regarding our reading. It was amazing what came up, about Franks comrades it was great to hear from them all, and you mentioned that Frank would be digging a hole, He had to do it the very next day as we had a burst pipe. It was so good to hear about mum being around. Everything you said about her was spot on. It made me so happy. It was amazing, so many full names of family and friends, places and so much more. We are truly amazed - thank you!
Well I was very excited about getting a reading from Jock but nothing could have prepared me for how good the reading was from him.
I was going through a hard time in my life and this reading not only made things clear in my head but it gave me an understanding on how to cope and move forward which made me feel so much more confident in myself again.
So many spirits came to me through Jock which was not only amazing but very comforting. Jock was so accurate with the names of people past and present in my life, street names and information he knew and passed on from the spirits which was not only breathtaking but very real. I could not believe the evidence he produced from the spirits as I know no one else could know this information unless it was through people close to you in the spirit world.
All my questions and worries were spoken about so I now feel healed and reassured about my life again.
When speaking with Jock I felt so comfortable as he is so easy to talk to and is a great character. I have and would definitely recommend a sitting with Jock to anyone.
I have had readings by several mediums over the years, some very good and some charlatans but the reading I had with Jock Brocas was one of the best I have ever had. Jock Brocas uses a scientific approach when doing a reading and delivered very accurate facts, he gave no initials just names, surnames, addresses and who they were connected to.
The facts were just so precise,its truly jaw dropping! If you come across Jock Brocas name while looking for medium /psychic I strongly advise you that you found him for a reason,just as I did,so have the faith in yourself to contact him for a reading,you will be so happy you did,just as I am.
Thank you for your reading which, as a sceptic and having had a couple of disappointing readings before, left me amazed and awestruck. My feelings and belief following my reading was one of enlightenment and has changed my perception completely! I definitely would have no hesitation in recommending other sceptics to you.Yours in spirit!

Studying jaguar-turtle predation behaviour with Coastal Jaguar Conservation
Coastal Jaguar Conservation (CJC) is the name of an umbrella research project operated by independent researchers Stephanny Arroyo Arce and myself, Ian Thomson, in Costa Rica.
The main goal of the project is to study the jaguar (Panthera onca), other wild cats, and their prey species in Tortuguero National Park. However, we also work with and support several other projects at different locations across Costa Rica.
I am the co-founder and co-manager of Coastal Jaguar Conservation and have been working in Costa Rica since 2013. I originally came to Costa Rica as a GVI intern before then becoming the GVI staff member responsible for managing the "Jaguar Project" at their Jalova Research Station in Tortuguero National Park.
After leaving GVI I helped to establish Coastal Jaguar Conservation with Costa Rican researcher Stephanny Arroyo-Arce.
CJC's objective is to increase the current knowledge of jaguars, other wild cats and their prey species in Tortuguero National Park, and surrounding areas, in order to promote conservation and management actions that will enhance their long-term survival.
Of special interest to our project is the monitoring of the predator-prey interaction between jaguars and the local population of sea turtle that nest in Tortuguero National Park.
Our project is primarily based on camera trapping techniques, which allow us to document and identify species present in our study area as well as the identification of individual jaguars and other wild cats.
Further to this, we also conducted surveys to study the predation of jaguars on the four species of sea turtle that nest in Tortuguero National Park.
GVI volunteers support our project by assisting in surveying and data collection. The two main surveys that they participate in are the "Jagwalk", a 28-kilometre weekly walk along the park's coastline looking for signs of jaguar activity and evidence of turtle predation.
The second survey that they participate in is the weekly check of four of our camera trap stations, which are used to identify the species that inhabit the area.
GVI staff members are responsible for organising and submitting the data collected during these surveys to our project and ensuring that our project's protocols and methodologies are followed.
Both GVI staff and volunteers contribute immensely to our project and form the backbone of certain activities related to our work in Tortuguero National Park.
Further to this, the GVI Charitable Trust supports our project through donations allowing us to purchase equipment to be used by GVI staff and volunteers to conduct our surveys.
This story comes from GVI's Impact and Ethics report. To celebrate 20 years of work in sustainable development, we reflect on and showcase our impactful stories and data. Read the report in full.

I decided to pop into David's Bridal last week before dress shopping this weekend to get an idea of what shapes worked on me and what not. I honestly had no itention of buying from them since I thought I wanted something they didn't have.
Well – I was very wrong. I fell in love with the first thing I tried on (go figure) and after trying on a total of 19 dresses after it between Thursday and today, I went back and purchased the dress. I'm estatic. It's just so perfect. I never imagined myself in a strapless ballgown! Ahhhh! Just had to share!

Everywhere I turn there are messages about how bad moods attract bad things into your life, so when I awoke in a right old grump, I decided to do something about it. It's what Esther Hicks calls 'raising your frequency' – although tbh, I'm not sure we can all go round grinning like a Cheshire cat 24/7, but I'm trying to stay in the zone here.
I started with the Headspace app. 10 minutes with Andy Puddicombe usually helps, only I'd locked myself in the bedroom and as soon as I pressed play, my husband was hammering on the door.
'What the hell are you doing in there?' he barked.
'Let me in. There's no space for meditation in this house,' he said.
Tell me about it.
I gave up and headed to my office. By now, I was feeling even grouchier and decided to try a 10 minute money manifestation video on You Tube. It was one of Esther's and her voice is almost as soothing as Andy's.
As she was instructing me to know that abundance is all around, my husband burst in, saw a load of dollar bills on the screen and barked: 'Why are you watching this money-grabbing rubbish?'
It wasn't going well…
It's interesting though isn't it, that I am married to somebody who regards my efforts to improve our finances as 'money grabbing.' I was only doing a 10 minute meditation, it's hardly up there with robbing old ladies in the street.
I told my husband to leave the room or else I'd shame him on the blog and continued with the meditation. I felt much brighter afterwards and half an hour later, somebody called and suggested they could direct work my way for a small cut.
Then, I did the Ask And It Is Given cheque game. I wrote myself a cheque for £2,000 and imagined what I would spend it on. The first thing that sprang to mind was a divorce lawyer.
Personal manifesto
Money and I are dancing cheek to cheek.

Combine tangy Seville oranges with spices and whisky for a delicious marmalade.
Wash and dry the oranges and lemon. Pour 2.4 litres cold water into a large preserving pan. Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemon and add it to the pan. Reserve the pips and orange halves, but discard the squeezed lemon.
Cut the orange halves in half again and scrape the pith and pips into a large square of muslin. Tie the muslin to form a bag. Add the bag to the pan, tie the string ends to the pan handle.
Cut the orange peel into fine strips. Add to the pan and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours until the peel is very soft and the liquid has been reduced by half.
Remove the muslin bag but squeeze as much juice back into the pan as possible. Add the sugar to the pan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil the mixture rapidly for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and spoon a little marmalade onto a chilled saucer. Leave for a few seconds and then push with your finger. If the surface wrinkles the marmalade is ready. If not, boil for a further 5 minutes.
Remove the marmalade from the heat and allow it to settle for 15 minutes. Remove the scum with a flat spoon and then stir in the whisky and Mixed Spice. Spoon into prepared jars. Cover with a wax disk. Cover the jar when cold and store.

By making breakfast part of your daily routine, you can increase your metabolic rate. "People tend to overlook how important breakfast is," says Taylor Newhouse, a registered dietitian with the Texas A&M School of Public Health. "We go all night without food, and our body can approach a fasting state, an episode where our body will withhold calories, if we wait too long to eat after waking up." So eat your breakfast and start burning more calories!

text: The Second Century: U.S.-Latin American Relations since 1889 focuses on U.S. relations with Latin America during the second century, a period bounded by the advent of the New Diplomacy late in the nineteenth century and the end of the Cold War about one hundred years later. This text provides a balanced perspective as it presents both the United States's view that the Western Hemisphere needed to unite under a common democratic, capitalistic society, and the Latin American countries' response to U.S. attempts to impose these goals on their southern neighbors. This book examines the reciprocal interactions between the two regions, each with distinctive purposes, outlooks, interests, and cultures. It also places U.S.-Latin American relations within the larger context of global politics and economics. The Second Century is an excellent text for courses in Latin American history and diplomatic history.

CARLISLE, April 16, 2015 – State Sen. John Blake (D-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Monroe) today joined legislative and military leaders from across Pennsylvania to discuss the economic importance of Pennsylvania's military operations at the inaugural meeting of the Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission (PMCEC).
The 17-member commission, which was formally established through Act 161 of last year, is tasked with examining and advocating for Pennsylvania's military installations and the important missions they have which support our state's economy and our national security.
"With a nearly $3 billion annual economic impact, Tobyhanna Army Depot is arguably the largest economic driver in northeastern Pennsylvania – and it remains the largest industrial employer in our region," Blake said. "Our commission was created to promote, protect and further develop Tobyhanna and our other fine military installations around the state which employ tens of thousands of hard-working Pennsylvanians."
The Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission was established under the Department of Community and Economic Development and will coordinate with the department – and also with Pennsylvania's Congressional delegation – to identify potential sources of funding for economic development projects and to monitor the prospective impact of future Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) activities at the Department of Defense.
"I am looking forward to working with my legislative colleagues as well as with economic development professionals and other volunteers on the commission to focus our efforts and activities that will protect and enhance the military value of our defense installations in serving our warfighters," Blake added. "We are aware that BRAC discussions will occur in Washington D.C. in the years ahead. We need to work now to ensure Pennsylvania installations and Pennsylvania workers are not endangered by future BRAC decisions."
Sen. Blake, a founding member of the Military Installations and Base Development Caucus in the General Assembly, will serve on the commission along with state Sen. Richard Alloway (R-Adams/Cumberland) and state Reps. Harry Readshaw (D-Allegheny) and Nick Miccarelli (R-Delaware).
The inaugural meeting of the Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission was held at Kings Gap Environmental Education Center in Carlisle.

Brighten up your home this spring
Category: Cleaning Companies
First things first, you'll want to make sure that your windows are sparkling. Use glass cleaner and a cloth to get the insides dirt free. For the outside of your windows, you may find it beneficial to call in a professional to help - especially if they are hard to reach.
If you get them cleaned every month, you can be sure that you won't miss the summer, even when you're in your home.
Also, you'll be surprised how much lighter the place will feel when it's clutter free. Go through each room and sort everything into things to keep, things that can go in the bin and items you can give to charity shops.
Be strict with yourself - do you really need menus for 15 different takeaways? Probably not.
Now, you can really make the most of your space. Perhaps you fancy moving the furniture around or adding a lick of paint too, to brighten up the place.
The most important thing to do though is to make sure that you're keeping your home clean. If it's messy and dirty then it won't feel as bright and open as it could.
Try to do a couple of small jobs every day and you'll find it much easier to stay on top of all of the tasks. You can even get the entire household involved, by making a rota for all of the jobs that need doing.
If, however, you'd rather be outside enjoying the sun, then why not call in the experts to help you out? Professional cleaners can come in on a regular basis and make sure your home is sparkling, so you don't have to.

Most percentage calculators on the market try to show you how clever they are by cramming in loads of functions. The result - some of them are more complex than a scientific calculator! With our EZ Toolz series, we turn this philosophy on it's head and make our calculators as simple to use as we possibly can.
EZ Percent #4 solves the problem "What is X as a percentage of Y?" (example: what is 50 as a percentage of 200?). That's the language the calculator uses, the same language you use. Not a mathematical symbol in sight. Have a look at the screenshots and you'll see what we mean.
Just because the app is simple to use doesn't mean it is basic in quality. You get nice big buttons that vibrate when you touch them, and a nice clear easy to read display.
We have made this app completely foolproof. For example if a button is not needed at a particular time it is disabled so you cannot press it by accident.
Check out our other EZ Toolz Percentage apps:
EZ Percent #1, which solves the problem "What is X percent of Y?" For example "What is 20 percent of 150?".
EZ Percent #2, which solves the problem "What is X plus Y percent?" (example: what is 60 plus 20 percent?).
EZ Percent #3, which solves the problem "What is X minus Y percent?" (example: what is 1024 minus 32 percent).
EZ Percent #5, which solves the problem "What number is X a Y percentage of? (example: 12 is 75% of what number?).
EZ Percent #6, which solves the problem "What percent greater than X is Y?" (example: What percent greater than 75 is 100?).
EZ Percent VAT, an extremely easy to use VAT calculator, which adds the current VAT rate to an amount, or subtracts VAT.
EZ Percent All7, which gives you all the above calculators in one app, with NO ADS, all for less than the price of a beer!
These apps are so easy to use, we guarantee your stress levels will drop and your productivity will rise just as quickly!
As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know at email@example.com.
