Swimming pools are a wonderful source of fun and amusement, not to mention a great way too cool down. The whole family can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, including your dog.
It is important to remember that even though pools are a great addition to our backyards they can also be dangerous. Pool safety is not only for people and it is important to realise that dogs (and other animals) can drown in pools. The following are some important tips on how to keep your dog, and other animals, safe when they are in or around a pool. Remember, dogs often don't see the same dangers as you do, so for them jumping in the pool is just fun and not potentially life threatening.
Dogs are often left unsupervised for long periods of time which allows them to get up to mischief. If they decide that they feel like going for a swim or getting into the pool area they can often find a way either by digging, jumping over a fence or pushing through a fence. You need to ensure that the pool fence is safe and well maintained to try and prevent this from happening. Make sure there is nothing on or close to the fence that they could climb on and then jump over the fence. Some dogs might like to dig under a pool fence so they can squeeze their way into the pool area. Be sure to check around the edge of the pool fence daily to see if your dog has been busy digging. Also make sure you do not leave toys in or around the pool as pets may be able to see them and be attracted to them.
If your dog does go swimming in the pool or has access to a pool the first thing you need to show them is how it get out of the pool safely by using the steps or a ramp. Make sure that the pool steps or ramp are dog friendly and easy to use for them. Depending on the size of your dog you may need to alter the steps, sometimes by making more steps, so they can easily get out. A ramp, like a Skamper Ramp, is often the easiest and safest way for your dog to exit the pool. Ensure that the steps or ramp are not slippery as you don't want them sliding around on it and hurting themselves.
The other most important pool safety rule for your dog is to teach them how to swim. Not all dogs are good swimmers or even naturally know how to swim. You should teach your dog to swim in a controlled environment when you are in the water with them supervising and able to help if needed. Not all dogs can swim, so you need to show them the basics and help them until they get the hang of it. If you need some tips on how to teach your dog to swim we have a blog post full of help here. If you are not able to or want a bit of help you should speak to a local dog trainer and they may be able to come and assist.
Invest in a flotation device or life jacket to help keep your dog afloat. There are a few options available like the EzyDog DFD Life Jacket or KONG Sport AquaPro Flotation Vest . They are a great idea if your dog is not a confident or very capable swimmer and it gives you that piece of mind that they are a little bit safer. However, do keep in mind that this does not mean you can leave them unsupervised.
Learn Doggy CPR. As a pet owner knowing Doggy CPR is a useful tool that you hopefully will never have to use but it could possibly save your dogs life. Some local animal organisations, shelters, trainers or your vet may run classes or be able to teach you the correct CPR techniques.
An alarm is a good last line of defence for the pool. There are pool alarms available that are designed to go off when something like a pet or even a fallen branch breaks the water surface.
If you bring home a new puppy or kitten you must ensure that they can not get through the pool fence or better still they don't have access to the area at all. They are so tiny that they can often squeeze through the standard pool fencing and being young and out exploring they may just end up falling in the pool.
Keep in mind that cats can also drown in pools although most cats don't like water some breeds like Bengals actually love water. Cats can jump a pool fence and are sometimes attracted to a swimming pool to drink out of or just to look at, which then makes them at risk of falling in.
Never leave a dog unsupervised or with free access to a pool. Even if they can swim, they should never be left alone in or around a pool as accidents can happen. Please make sure that your pool and pool fence are safe and you follow the above tips to help to avoid any tragedies.
Until next time,

Evil is the new black. Lewis Black, that is. The angriest man in show business is now presiding over the court of pop culture on his new show, Lewis Black's Root of All Evil (Wednesdays at 10:30 pm/ET, Comedy Central). We caught up with the raging funnyman to discuss his new venture.
TVGuide.com: Explain the concept of Root of All Evil.
Lewis Black: The idea was that we pick two things from culture or life and we have a head-to-head. Two comedians are charged with coming up with why, let's say, Oprah's more evil, or the Catholic Church is more evil. I ask questions and goad the comics and over the course of a half hour we try to discover who or what is more evil.
TVGuide.com: What inspired the show?
Black: Scott Carter from Bill Maher's show, and David Sacks, who had written a number of good shows, had the idea. They basically felt it was time that popular culture be put on trial and I was the one who should judge it.
TVGuide.com: The opener pits Oprah against Catholicism. But shouldn't you have excused yourself because of your appearance on Oprah?
Black: Hey, I don't have to. I'm in charge. I'm beyond prejudice. [Laughs] She was nice. What I found weird was that [Oprah's producers] kept telling me that the show was going to be me and a bunch of young comics, and I was coming on as the the next big comic. And that was not true. [They're] telling America I was a young comic. I was already an old comic!
TVGuide.com: What are the criteria for choosing those on trial?
Black: How irritating are they, how much are they in our face, how much time have we wasted paying attention to them. Usually, that's where we start. If the show stays on the air it'll be easier and easier to figure out what should be against what.
TVGuide.com: You're like the Judge Wapner of pop culture!
Black: More Judge Roy Bean! Wapner is in his own world. I come out of the West with a six-gun and start shooting at will.
TVGuide.com: Will you continue to do The Daily Show's "Back in Black" now that the writers' strike is resolved?
Black: Yes. It's mostly the writers crafting material for me, because I'm just not available. And we've been together so long they pretty much know my quirks, and at times they know them better than I do. When they don't hit it, I throw in things. I certainly know how to be me.
TVGuide.com: Do you consider yourself a comic with a persona or a comic actor playing a role?
Black: I consider myself a comic with a persona.
TVGuide.com: Given your confrontational style, this platform is ideal for you.
Black: That was part of the reason Scott and David came to me, I think. It's right up my alley! [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: Is there anyone you do not consider evil?
Black: Mother Theresa and Mary-Louise Parker!
TVGuide.com: Who are some of the "evil" people you're really looking forward to skewering?
Black: We got to go after Dick Cheney, which was a lot of fun. That was great. If we were on now we'd probably go after [Mike] Huckabee and Ron Paul without breaking a sweat. I think [Pakistan president Pervez] Musharraf. We went after [Korean dictator] Kim Jong-il, which was very good.
TVGuide.com: Would you put deceased people on trial?
Black: We talked about it. Our special "dead" shows!
TVGuide.com: Since we're in an election year, are you going to put the presidential candidates on trial?
Black: We did eight shows. If they call up an order I would certainly imagine we put 'em opposite each other. The great thing about this show is that the comics are really good at going right after whomever we present to them. I think that's what makes the show. We let them take something they can tear into. I think the nice thing about this show is that it's a great way for a comic to do comedy without doing their act. It's another way in which you can watch the comic mind at work.
TVGuide.com: Of all those tried on the show, who is the most evil?
Black: We were talking about whoever wins the first week we'd put up on the website the second week and we'd have a vote. And they'd go on to compete against whoever wins next and they would vote. I think eventually, depending on how this works out, we may have an "evil-off."
TVGuide.com: What is the definition of evil?
Black: It's somebody or something that irritates you so much you can't have a complete thought.
TVGuide.com: What TV do you enjoy?
Black: I like Weeds a lot, and I like Californication. I like The L Word for probably not the right reasons! [Laughs] I like it the way people watch Desperate Housewives. Girls kissing is good, but really how much crazier can this get? I like The Office and Colbert a lot. I watch my show, The Daily Show, Keith Olbermann. Meet the Press and Face the Nation are like a cup of coffee to me. I'm so irate after watching one of those, I can stay awake for a month.
TVGuide.com: Are you planning on doing more stand-up specials?
Black: If all goes well, I will do a show on Broadway starting in September through the election. And we'd have one on Comedy Central.

Silence a tad deafening for Supermum's during holidays
IF YOU are getting me food, great, otherwise, can you please be quiet?"
As I heard a little voice utter those words while I was digging through the fridge just over a week ago I could only shake my head.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Can you please be quiet?
That is a statement I have uttered more times than I care to remember since the birth of my son 11 years ago, and now it was being echoed back.
One thing I have learned in those 11 years is boys really can be noisy.
No matter the activity it was always with added sound effects.
In fact, it was in times of quiet that I knew to be very suspicious.
Then I would find my child doing something (or eating something) he shouldn't.
Like other mums, I have adjusted to the added noise in order to stay sane. Well, as sane as any mother.
I stopped watching live television, recording my favourite shows and watching them in the rare times I was guaranteed quiet. You know, the times when the kids are asleep or not home.
I learned to tune out the background noise so it hardly became noticeable.
In times where that seemed impossible I followed the "if can't beat them, join them" theory, so I would turn some music on and play it louder.
This week however, the silence in the house is noticeable.
As my son spends the school holidays at my parent's property, I am enjoying a touch of serenity.
There have been no important questions being asked while I am in the middle of a shower.
No repetitive questions of what there is to eat because he is hungry.
I have even watched some television shows while they are actually on TV (although I miss that I can't fast forward the commercials).
There has been no sharing of bodily functions, his new favourite noise making activity, as boys do.
And there have been no more demands for me to keep quiet.
I know by the end of next week I will crave the return of noise at home but for now I will enjoy the silence.
I just never realised before how loud silence was.

Hoboken downloaders could be subpoenaed!
Several Hoboken residents may be in some big trouble!
Like downloading movies? You may be busted next!
Cablevision Optimum Online customers in Hoboken "on the list…"
Hoboken411 reader Matt sent in this *very* interesting tip about illegal movie downloading…
"As film companies try to combat the film pirates out there who primarily exchange movies online now via peer2peer service – e.g. BitTorrent — the fight has, in some ways, come to Hoboken.
NY/NJ/CT cable provider Optimum Online (i.e., Cablevision) is about to be subpoenaed by Voltage Pictures for email addresses belonging to those in the Hoboken area.
Last month, Voltage announced that they intended to file a lawsuit against 50,000 downloaders of their oscar winning movie The Hurt Locker.
As a follow up to their announcement, not only has the lawsuit been filed in Washington, DC, but Voltage today released the first 700 IP Addresses of those they intend to bring to court — several of which are Optimum Online subscribers in the Jersey City/Newark/Elizabeth and Hoboken areas.
Typically, lawsuits like this in the past (at least filed by the lawfirm representing Voltage), amount to out of court settlements of approx. $2500 — meaning that Voltage is seeking to bring in $125 million while the actual cost of 50,000 DVDs would be in the range of $650,000 — assuming that they received the $13 that Amazon charges for a copy of the DVD and that retail stores don't take a cut of the retail price.
But I'm not writing to necessarily say who's right and wrong in this case, I'm writing to point out two things:
- Cablevision/Optimum/Verizon/AT&T/etc. are going to be subpoenaed for the contact information for each of the 50,000 people who downloaded the movie — so much for anonyminty on the internet, and…
- Anyone who has left their wifi network without a password over the past few months may have had somebody steal their internet access and download this movie, and may now owe $2,500 to Voltage Pictures…..unless they can somehow prove that they weren't the ones using their internet access, in which case the cost is just legal fees.
In my building downtown, there are at least four or five open networks which I know guests in my apartment use rather than asking for my password….
Anyway, I thought this whole issue might be of interest to your readers, because, even if they don't personally pirate movies online, someone on their network may have and their ISP might be turning them in.

What's faster than an AMG and could be coming to Holden showrooms? The Cadillac CTS-V: one of a smorgasbord of high-performance machinery that's being lined up to replace Holden's V8 Commodore range.
Whatever lands Down Under, it won't match the once-in-a-generation benchmarks of the McLaren P1 or Le Ferrari – which we've put head-to-head in Italy for the ultimate hypercar fisticuffs.
La Ferrari too expensive? Join us on the streets of Melbourne in the seductive Alfa Romeo 4C that's the start of the Italian maker's comeback.

Thursday night: Shelton fire personnel rush to Latex factory again
Multiple Shelton fire trucks and dozens of firefighting personnel rushed again to the Latex Foam factory on River Road on Thursday evening. (Aug. 14 photos by Brad Durrell)
Fire alarms could be heard going off throughout the sprawling complex on Route 110, where mattresses and related products are made and where there have been two previous fire incidents in the past few months.
The fire call came in at about 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 14. Firefighters could be seen entering the basement of the building from the rear — the same location they had used for access during the previous fires.
Personnel at the scene said the water flow alarm had gone off, which can mean the sprinkler system has been activated.
Shelton Fire Chief Fran Jones said an emergency sprinkler had been activated inside an industrial dryer oven in the basement. The dryer had been running but no product was inside it at the time, he said.
The dryer is used in the manufacturing process at the factory.
"There was no smoke and no fire when [firefighting] units arrived," Jones said.
Workers gather outside the building
Latex workers gathered outside the building in the south parking lot and observed the fire response. One worker said the alarms had gone off but he was unaware of any specific problem — such as an actual fire — inside the building.
Earlier, some people at the scene also said they were unaware of an actual fire, but someone else said there had been a problem with the same industrial dryer that started a previous fire and it was quickly put out by localized sprinklers.
By 8:05 or so, some firefighters could be seen leaving the building but others remained inside.
Two previous fire incidents
The two previous fire responses occurred on June 26, when a major nighttime fire began in an industrial dryer in the basement, and on June 30, when it appears some charred remnants from the previous fire may have started a minor incident.
The June 26 blaze caused the building's basement to be flooded due to all the water from the emergency sprinkler system and firefighting efforts.

by Rev. Richard C. Eyer
This end was the death of my mother-in-law. My wife and I had decided to drive the 65 miles from Milwaukee to Chicago after early church to see her failing mother at the nursing home. She had been failing for weeks but hung on just enough to keep us all off balance in our plans for the immediate future.
I had been there before, waiting at the bed-side with patients when I was a hospital chaplain. I had seen the uncertainty and ambivalence of family members awaiting the death of a loved one. I saw the concern for each other as well as the impatience with death, waiting patiently for something no one wants to have happen yet knowing it is time for it.
Each of Mom's children had taken their turn at the bedside over the past several weeks, even as they had done several times before in her lifetime, wondering if this would be the time of her departure. My wife's family is very close and has always supported each other well.
I focused on supporting my wife. Being a support to in-laws is different from being part of the immediate family. In-laws are sometimes required to wait on the sidelines like a coach, supporting the players so they can play their best.
There is helplessness, even loneliness, in being a coach. You are not a player, and you can-not act like one. It interferes with the game, and you risk being ejected from the game at times. However, you do have to be a coach, even if it is only for one player at a time.
My wife and I had gone to early worship in order to receive the Lord's Supper and then drove immediately to see her mom. We arrived about 11:20 a.m. that morning, and as we stood in her doorway, she waved and tried to speak, a good sign since she had been largely unresponsive on other visits. Because she was having some breathing problems, the nurse assisted her with her oxygen mask but with little success. The mask was removed. Mom remained agitated and did not speak except to suddenly turn toward me and, with urgency in her eyes, call my name.
The seriousness in her look as she spoke my name reminded me of a similar time: when my own mother died. We had accompanied my mother to the hospital emergency room, and as she was being admitted to the hospital, she turned to my wife and said, "Take good care of my son!" It was Mom's last request. I now heard my wife's mother asking me to do the same for her daughter, so I became her coach in the final minutes of the game.
Because my mother-in-law was agitated and restless, we began to sing hymns to her. She calmed down. I read parts of Psalm 62 to her:
"For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from Him comes my salvation. He only is
my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I
shall not be greatly shaken. For God alone,
O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is
from Him. . . . On God rests my salvation
and my glory; mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out
your heart before Him, God is a refuge for
us. Once God has spoken; twice have I heard
this: that power belongs to God, and that to
You, O Lord, belongs steadfast love" (Psalm
We then prayed for Mom's peace, and my wife sang "Amazing Grace," later recalling the words, "Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; His grace has brought me safe thus far, His grace will lead me home" (LSB 744:3).
As we sang, her mother's color changed. She took three more breaths and then stopped. As my wife later recalled, "We sang her into heaven," just as we had done with my mother a few years ago.
It has been a few years since I retired as a hospital chaplain, but all those previous times of waiting at the bedside with families has come back to me in a flood of tears. I have been with what seems like dozens of patients at their time of death, waiting with families or sitting at the bedside in their absence. I had often walked patients up to the door of heaven, awaited its opening and watched them walk in, then returned to walk again with others.
The hard part is not only in walking others up to the door of heaven but in not being able to walk through the door with them into Christ's fullest presence. But, like many times before, it was now time for me to walk with others again—my wife and her family—as they grieved the loss of their mother, my mother-in-law.
In the end, it is all Christ . . . from the cross to the resurrection, His cross and ours. In our suffering and dying as His faithful ones, we, too, eventually get to walk through the door with Him!

RC develops tailor-made nutritional programs designed to provide the best suited response to dogs' specific needs.
For dogs under treatment, we have developed a range of dietary foods which takes into account the risks associated to the dog's main pathology (renal insufficiency, food intolerances, oral hygiene, digestive, hepatic, or urinary disorders, joint mobility, obesity, recovery…).
Urine Dilution
Thanks to the high moisture content of wet food, Urinary S/O Canine increases urine dilution
Struvite Dissolution
Urinary S/O Canine effectively dissolves struvite uroliths
Low RSS
Increasing the volume of urine simultaneously reduces the saturation of urine with calcium oxalate and struvite. This approach ensures that Urinary Canine produces a urinary environment unfavourable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals
Anti-Age System
The synergistic antioxidant complex (Vit E, Vit C, taurine, lutein) helps maintain healthy DNA, promotes health of the immune system and neutralises free radicals, the negative effects of which increase with age
meat and animal derivatives (poultry), cereals, oils and fats, minerals, vegetable protein extracts (maize), derivatives of vegetable origin

Nose Reshaping Scottsdale
People choose nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) for a number of reasons. If you feel that your nose does not fit with the rest of your face, or creates an imbalanced appearance, then you may be interested in nasal surgery. Nose reshaping is also appropriate if the nose has been disfigured due to an injury, birth defect, or disease.
After listening to your expectations, Dr. White carefully sculpts the nose to produce a more attractive appearance that is in better proportion to the rest of your face. The result is a nose that fits your face and looks completely natural.
Rhinoplasty Procedure Information
Rhinoplasty is performed at the Piper Outpatient Surgical Facility in Scottsdale under general anesthesia.
After nasal surgery, you return home with an external cast or splint in place. The cast or splint is usually removed in 7 to 10 days. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. The majority of swelling and bruising subsides progressively over 2 to 4 weeks. External sutures (if any) are removed in 4 to 6 days, and internal sutures will dissolve.
The semifinal result of a nose reshaping procedure is evident in 3 months. The final result is evident in 12 to 14 months. If you need to improve your breathing, correction of a deviated septum (septoplasty) may also be appropriate.
Complementary Plastic Surgery Procedures
An additional procedure that may enhance the result of a rhinoplasty is a chin enlargement to create a more symmetrical appearance.
Rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance if being done for cosmetic reasons.
Rhinoplasty Surgery
The specific risks and the suitability of nose reshaping can be determined only during your consultation with Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. White. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are unusual.
- Learn more about Nose Reshaping Plastic Surgery at the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery web site or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons web site.
My interactions and services with Dr. White were excellent. I have been completely satisfied with the results of my surgery, pre-surgery services, and post-op. All staff were super friendly, professional, and supportive of my procedure. I highly recommend Dr. White.

This woman wants your help
Calvetta Williams founded Mothers Against Violence earlier this year and now she's ready for you to get involved in the effort.
She is determined to decrease violence in our state. Tuesday night, you have the opportunity to become part of the mission.
Williams said she wants anyone and everyone interested in helping this cause to come to the meeting tonight with ideas and opinions on how to combat violence.
If you can't make Tuesday night's meeting, you can still help by donating money or spreading the word, which could include going door-to-door passing out fliers.
KCCI's Kim St. Onge talked to Williams to find out why it is so important to have this group and the community's help.
"I just know I can't give up. I just know we have to keep pushing and keep doing something, because you're right, we've had what three shootings in the past month. I just know we can't give up and we can't be afraid," said Williams.

"After two minutes' conversation, a cell phone's digitized impulses disable the safety barrier (blood-brain-barrier) that isolates the brain from destructive proteins and poisons in the blood. Professor Leif Salford, the neurologist who carried out the research for this finding, said "It seems that molecules such as proteins and toxins can pass out of the blood, while the phone is switched on, and enter the brain. We need to bear in mind diseases such as MS and Alzheimer's are linked to proteins being found in the brain." Startled by $4 billion a year in extra claims among cell phone-wielding drivers, North American insurers did a double-take that found simply juggling phones is not causing a 600% increase in accidents over other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios, taming pets, making out, pouring coffee, retrieving dropped cigarettes, talking and gesturing to passengers, or actually steering the vehicle. Instead of just another dangerous distraction, tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cell phone severely impairs memory and reaction times. Hands-free mobile speakerphones cause even more crashes because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference than handheld units. For all drivers dialing out, University of Toronto investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car persists for up to 15-minutes after completing a call."
"That's comparable to the risk of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims Dr. Chris Runball, chairman of the B.C. Medical Association's emergency medical services committee. Reeling from "dial-a-collision" costs, the government of British Columbia may join England, Spain, Israel, Switzerland and Brazil in restricting or banning the use of cell phones by drivers. In New Zealand, cell phone towers are prohibited on school property because of possible health effects. But Health Canada regulations ignore the hidden hazards of cell-wrenching cell phones, which send pulsed signals through the skull in a process one expert likens to "jackhammers on the brain." "Safety Code 6" looks only at microwaves burning skin. Basically, Health Canada claims if it can't cook you, it can't hurt you, its like saying cigarettes aren't dangerous unless they burn you. Carrying similar risks of long-term lethality, and strangely just as legal, cell phone addiction mirrors the prestigious early allure of smoking – as well as an immensely profitable industry's steadfast denial of risk and responsibility. As poisonous as cigarette smoke and even harder to corral, the cell phone's second-hand microwave and radio-frequency (RF) pollution pose invisible but significant risks to bystanders–particularly children riding in cars that transmit amplified cell phone signals through their steel structure. Cell phone transmissions damage the ability of white blood cells to ward off infectious disease by disrupting the immune system's electromagnetic communications. Dr. Neil Cherry has measured accelerated aging, increased cell death and cancers caused by radio frequency microwaves from cell phones and their relay towers."
"With the brain's electro-chemical communications repeatedly zapped by lightning-like cell phone pulses, this Ph.D. biophysicist warns that headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, dizziness, depression, arteriosclerosis and even Alzheimer's can result from frequent or prolonged calls. "There is also a higher incidence of cardiac problems," Cherry comments, "in terms of the timing function in hearts. You get more heart attacks and more heart disease – it has now been shown in many studies." The biophysicist from Lincoln University in Christ Church, New Zealand has also found that cell phones can murderously modify moods. In brains and bodies seriously derailed by tiny imbalances in trace minerals and hormones, depression, suicide, anger, rage and violence can result when calcium and serotonin levels are disrupted by cell phone transmissions."

A week of Ardennes Classics comes to a close with the most esteemed of them all – Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
Sunday's Amstel Gold Race and Wednesday's La Flèche Wallonne are both challenging races in their own right, but Liège-Bastogne-Liège is on another level altogether.
For one thing, there's its status. As one of the five Monuments of cycling, the Classic is coveted by riders from all across the peloton.
Riders such as Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Sky), for instance, skipped La Flèche Wallonne to go into this race as fresh as possible, while big stars such as Chris Froome (Sky) and Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) will ride despite having skipped virtually all of the Spring Classics season so far.
Then there's its age. At its core cycling is a sport in love with tradition, and therefore races that have been around since the early years of the sport are regarded as special by the fans and riders.
And none are as long-lasting as Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which was first held all the way back in 1892, and is nicknamed 'La Doyenne' after the French for 'The Old Lady'.
Finally, and crucially, there's its difficulty. Whereas the former two each rely on short, steep hills to break up the race, Liège-Bastogne-Liège is a more arduous affair with climbs that are longer and altogether more difficult. Here, a puncheur can't get away with short, intense efforts to get over the uphills – they have to be genuine climbers.
Among the toughest climbs is La Redoute, the landmark the race is most closely associated with.
Narrow and flanked by hordes of cheering roadside fans, there's nothing to compare to this in either of the other two Ardennes Classics – its average gradient of around 8.4% and maximum of over 20% is as steep as anything found in those races, while its length of nearly 2km marks it out as relatively long.
The seventh of the ten climbs tackled, La Redoute kicks-off the race's endgame. Next up, a little further up the road at 20.5km from the finish, is the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons, an even steeper effort (9.9%) where Andy Schleck attacked to win the 2009 edition.
The Côte de Saint-Nicolas is the penultimate climb, which always plays host to attacks from very big names, although in recent editions has failed to make for an effective launchpad for successful attacks.
That may be why the Côte de la Rue Naniot has this year been added between the Saint-Nicolas and the draggy uphill finish in Ans.
Positioned 4km after that previous ascent and just 3km out from the finish, this 600 metre, 10.5% averaging cobbled climb will make for an even harder finale than the riders are used to, and ought to make for a more select race than the last two editions, where unusually large groups remained intact to the finishing sprint.
This adjusted finish will do little to dampen Alejandro Valverde's (Movistar) confidence of landing a second successive and fourth career victory at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The extra climbing ought to play in his favour, and he's on great form having won La Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday.
The Spaniard won't find this race quite as straightforward, however. The extra climbs and more nuanced route will give Etixx-QuickStep's duo of Julian Alaphilippe and Dan Martin – who rounded off Wednesday's podium behind Valverde, and have a strong record in this race having finished second last year and won in 2013 respectively – more of a chance to work together to put Valverde under pressure.
As mentioned above, riders such as 2014 winner Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge), Astana's Vincenzo Nibali (who regularly animates this race) and Sky's Michal Kwiatkowski (who, as a specialist of this kind of route, will be given leadership ahead of Chris Froome) will likely be will also return having missed La Flèche Wallonne.
And the kind of long range attacks that Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal) has put in throughout this Ardennes campaign will be harder to control.
Valverde might be favourite, but there's a long queue of riders plotting to take his title from him.

Episode 34: Caring for a Child With Lyme Disease
August 22, 2018
Cindy Kennedy, FNP, talks with Dorothy Leland about her struggles to find the support she needed as the parent of a child with Lyme disease. Leland, an author, blogger, and vice president at LymeDisease.org, sheds light on how she became an advocate for her child.
Dorothy Leland
Leland fell into the world of Lyme disease when her then-13-year-old daughter became mysteriously ill and disabled in 2005. Eventually, she figured out that her family was part of a growing yet invisible group of people grappling with a disease that is ignored by the government and the medical establishment.
Soon, she became a local support group leader in northern California and is now vice president of the national advocacy organization LymeDisease.org. She writes the blog "Touched by Lyme" and has a special interest in how Lyme disease affects the whole family — not just the person with the illness. She is co-author of the book, "When Your Child Has Lyme Disease: A Parent's Survival Guide."

Community Dinners is honored to announce that we have received the domestic hunger grant from the ELCA. This grant will enable us to feed our neighbors in the Logan Square area fresh, wholesome meals each Wednesday evening as we've done for almost three years.
Although carefully preparing meals for the well fed and underfed in our neighborhood is important to us, it's not nearly as important as the social, emotional and spiritual nourishment that our program provides.
The act of simply sitting at the table, sharing food and conversation with a person that has been marginalized can do so much. Not only can you make another person's day, you can change your own perception, face your own fears, face your own issues with race and immigration and it can and change your life. Sitting and talking about the issues of the day with people who look like and have the same background as you does little to change things on a tangible level.
Spread the love, everyone!
Love is a messy, dirty, warm, inclusive mess and we invite you to join this mess called Community Dinners each Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30PM at 2649 North Francisco. This isn't charity, it's our community.

Get Compensation and Justice
Were you diagnosed with a Salmonella infection after eating Gravel Ridge Farms eggs?
You may have the right to sue for compensation if you are a victim of the Gravel Ridge Salmonella outbreak.
National food safety lawyers Fred Pritzker and Brendan Flaherty are representing people sickened by this outbreak. If you or someone you love got Salmonella poisoning, contact Fred and Brendan about filing a lawsuit.
Contact Fred and Brendan For a Free Case Consultation:
Gravel Ridge Salmonella Outbreak
The FDA is investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections associated with shell eggs from Gravel Ridge Farms.
As of October 2, 2018, 38 people got sick in a Salmonella outbreak associated with recalled Gravel Ridge Farms eggs sold by grocery stores and restaurants in AL, GA and TN. In this outbreak, onset of illness dates range from July, 10, 2018 through August 7, 2018.
Salmonella Symptoms
Symptoms of a Salmonella infection, which include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and fever, usually develop within six to 72 hours of exposure and last about a week. Patients suffering from severe dehydration must be treated at a hospital. In instances where the infection travels from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream, Salmonella infections can be life-threatening.
Salmonella Lawyer
A Salmonella lawyer can help you get compensation for illness from contaminated food. Lawyers at our law firm have won millions in lawsuits against restaurants and food companies, including $6.5 million on behalf of a child who suffered permanent brain damage and $4.5 million on behalf a man who got meningitis and almost died.
Gravel Ridge Egg Recall
On September 6, 2018, Gravel Ridge Farms issued a recall for cage-free large eggs. The recall includes eggs packaged in single-dozen cardboard cartons and 2.5-dozen cardboard flats with the UPC 7-06970-38444-6 and "use by" dates from July 25, 2018, through October 31, 2018.
Restaurants and grocery stores in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia including Piggly Wiggly, Warehouse Discount Grocery and Western Market stores served and sold the eggs. You can see a complete list of stores where the recalled eggs were sold on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website.

Through 11/16: Noh theater masks at Phoenix Art Museum
Kabuki, with its elaborate makeup and costumes, fast-paced action and lively atmosphere, usually comes to mind when people think of Japanese theater.
But there's a more esoteric form of theater called Noh, which incorporates music, dance and drama, and utilizes meticulously crafted masks to express emotions.
"It's the difference between Broadway musicals and opera," said Joni Koehn, a Phoenix Noh expert who wrote her Ph.D. dissertation about the subject. "Kabuki is very flashy, like Broadway, while Noh is more like opera: Those who love it are really passionate about it, but it's not as accessible."
Established in the 14th century as an intellectual art backed by the ruling class, Noh is a minimalist art form exploring a wide range of human emotions through well-known myths and historical occurrences.
Noh is the subject of an exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum called "Quiet Rage, Gentle Wail," featuring 22 masks and 24 accompanying prints depicting Noh theater, by artist Tsukioka Kogyo, who was a big fan of the dramatic art. The collection, donated to the art museum in 2009, runs in conjunction with Arizona State University's "Japan in Global Context" series, funded by the Japan Foundation.
Janet Baker, curator of Asian art at the Phoenix Art Museum, was ecstatic when the museum received the gifts, but she noticed there was little accompanying information, so she turned to Koehn.
"When we got the prints, we had no idea what they depicted and there was no identification whatsoever," Baker said. "The masks had just a name identifying them, so Joni was instrumental in enlightening us.
"We've been able to reveal those stories in the prints, and the characters depicted in some of the prints are wearing particular masks in the collection."
Only men perform in Noh theater. The masks can represent a variety of characters from a beautiful young woman with fair skin and delicate features to an old man with long beard and frightened expression. The masks also depict supernatural creatures, such as demons and beasts.
Koehn's dissertation was about the character of the demon woman in Noh theater, and the exhibit features one such mask with an accompanying print.
"The stories of the demon woman are ones in which the woman is wronged by her husband, and she turns into a demon and is depicted with horns," Koehn explained. "She comes back and tells the tale, about how angry she is with the man, and the priest prays for her. Then she either disappears or is saved, but most don't end up being saved."
The current Noh repertoire consists of about 250 plays. Koehn said many, like the plays about the demon woman, deal with marital issues and the virtues of loyalty, as well as giving one's life to defend the honor of another. The Buddhist plays often discuss a person struggling with salvation and enlightenment.
Noh masks are crafted from cypress wood, special paint and other materials, such as horse hair. The process is completely embedded in tradition and history.
"There is an art to making a Noh mask correctly, and it must be made precisely the way it's always been done, which seems odd to many people," Koehn said. "The closer to the original, the better it is."
Baker said the mask-making tradition is very strict and formal.
"To be innovative and new is a very Western concept," she said. "The mask makers had to adhere to specific qualities and characteristics the masks are supposed to have. So a mask made 200 years ago looks very much the same as one made 400 years ago."
Some masks may appear simple, but the master carvers understand light and movement so well that just one small tilt of a mask can change the expression completely. This skill is highlighted in three large photographs in the exhibit.
ASU's "Japan in Global Context" series is one result of a grant from the Japan Foundation to incorporate Japanese cultural programming in various ways. So far, the grant has helped fund a number of exhibitions at the ASU Art Museum and brought in special guests from Japan.
Claudia Brown, professor of Asian art history at ASU, works regularly with Baker and knew the donation of the masks and prints would make for the perfect partnership.
"Part of the reason the grant was successful is because we emphasized our community connections, which helps to bring in a much wider audience," Brown said. "We've brought together the expertise of ASU faculty members, a local scholar, the curator and her staff to put this show together, and make good use of these masks."
Baker hopes visitors will learn more about the lesser-known art form and appreciate its subtle beauty.
"It's a very unique form of Japanese art that we can now introduce to our community," she said. "Most Japanese people today don't even understand it, and it perhaps parallels Shakespeare today. ... Through the amazing moments captured in the prints, and the masks with their engaging personalities, visitors will find it very engaging."
'Quiet Rage, Gentle Wail': Through Sunday, Nov. 16. Phoenix Art Museum, 1625 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. $12-$15; $10 for students with ID; $6 for ages 6-17; free for age 5 and younger, and museum members. 602-257-1880, phxart.org.

Hello Serghei,
The highlight of a visit of Segovia!
You've chosen an excellent POV to show us both church towers between the arches of the aqueduct.
Well composed. Great sharpness. Well done!
Best regards, Paul

Zdrastwuj Serghei!
In the first moment I thought it's a roman aqueduct in France Pont du Gard
Wonderful composition I suppose this aqueduct is 2000years old.
I like it (but in the upper left corner the sky is a bit green - but this oversight doesn't change my opinion that it's wonderful shot and composition)
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Serghei
awesome subject!

Hello Serghei, a magnificent picture, with great panoramic view of the ruins and part of a very remarkable city! very attractive vertical, fabulous color!!
all the best

Hi Serghei,
What can I say, just more proof that it's the eye of the photographer, not just the camera that makes for a captivating image! Love this composition, multiple windows looking out beyond...feels like we're getting a two-for-one. The foreground aqueduct cuts across the vertical frame with immediate impact and presence, while the city and sky behind give much color and interest that keeps the eye going further into the picture.
I get the very distinct impression that you had consciously arranged this so that the two towers were smartly placed in full view between the upper row arches of the aqueduct?? :) Sharp detail, texture and well balanced light. Very well done, this turned out great! Have a pleasant day ahead. Take care.
Friendly wishes from the desert,

Hello Serghei,
I once attended a weekend Nikon School, where two world class photographers showed off their masterpieces using cheap small cameras. It's the eye behind the view finder, much more than the camera. You've shown this artistic composition composition, and more than adequate sharpness.
Warm regards,

Hello Serghei,
Very good capture of this wonderful Roman aqueduct. The idea of this close-up with a very well managed DOF to include and present fantastic architecture in the background is really great! Well seen and done. TFS.
mcmtanyel (58669) 2013-09-10 7:11
Hi Serghei,
I wish I were there, too. This reminds me of the Roman aquaduct in Istanbul. Yes, those "cheap, small soap-boxes" will also deliver beautiful photos when the conditions are right. I love your framing through the arches.
Best wishes,

Howdy Serghei,
Excellent up front vertical view of the famous Roman aqueduct, especially being a two decker, then the distant Segovia town, all in fine resolution.
Good job,

Привет, Сергей!
Очень удачная композиция. Мощная аркада акведука не заслоняет, а только улучшает и украшает вид этого старинного города. Хорошая идея, грамотно реализованная в этом снимке. Поздравляю с отличной работой!
Дальнейших успехов!

Hello Serghei.
Once back from my vacation at the beach, I'm active again in these pages.
Superb composition, typical of a teacher, looking for something different is his framing, I love this closeup of the aqueduct, and especially as churches have placed in the doorway of the arches. Superb image.
Very nice range of colors which gives us this picture.
Magnificent both luminosity and sharpness.
Very well done.
I wish you a happy weekend.
Best wishes.

I'm missing some very basic Ubuntu One usage information, like how to synchronize the files between Ubuntu One, my Android phone, and my Ubuntu 12.04 PC.
Is there a users guide or reference manual someplace?

I'm missing some very basic Ubuntu One usage information, like how to synchronize the files between Ubuntu One, my Android phone, and my Ubuntu 12.04 PC.
Is there a users guide or reference manual someplace?
The android app can be found here.
The way this works is that everything in the Ubuntu One folder (located in your home folder) is automatically synchronized to the cloud. You can add more folders to be synchronized by right clicking on them in the file manager and navigating to the
Ubuntu One sub menu and finally clicking
Synchronize This Folder.
On Android your photos are uploaded to a folder named after the model of your phone (mine is
Pictures - HTC Ruby), and you can select files to be downloaded from Ubuntu One to your phone. These are not synchronized with their versions in the cloud after download, however.
You can upload files within the android app by navigating into a folder and hitting the + icon in the right. You will need an app like File Manager installed to be able to just select any file from the SD card, however. To do this, select
Add file after tapping the + icon and select
File Manager (or your preferred app) from the list.
To get your pictures or other files in Ubuntu One on your PC you need to use the Ubuntu One app for Ubuntu (Open the dash and type
Ubuntu One). Select the folders here that you want to sync to your computer:
The folders in the cloud that you select will be placed in your home folder and synchronized with other computers. For example I sync my scripts so I always have my most current work no matter which machine I turn on.
There is also a music app for Ubuntu One that requires a subscription to work. It can stream your whole music collection to you, which is great if you have an unlimited data plan. It can be found here, if you are interested.
FolderSync is an app that lets you sync selected folders between Android and various cloud services, including Ubuntu One. The free version shows ads and limits the number of cloud services you can use simultaneously.
Dropbox nor
Ubuntu One seem to offer this basic functionality natively...

Very old post and strangely, Ubuntu One Mobile App still does not support syncing like Ubuntu One desktop App. In mobile devices, it just lets you access what's present in your U1 account. If you download and modify a file, it does not sync back to U1.
As far as third party sync apps are concerned, i don't trust them on the permissions they ask, and the ads they show.
I had the same issue while using Ubuntu One App on my BlackBerry Z10. This solution I came up with, will work for all platforms all devices not just Z10.
It might seem little complicated to use for some users. But here it is.
I have created a very basic shell script to sync a folder(which is already in sync with Ubuntu One App in my Laptop)
Shell script I use to sync the folder with phone memory or memory card : After connecting my phone using USB mass storage(my memory card name is MICROSD in my case)
The folder ~/MyFolder is already in sync with U1 in my laptop(OS: Ubuntu12.04).
So this goes to: 1. First thing first, the folder i want to be synced with my phone, is already in sync with U1 and my Laptop.
I just now have to sync the same folder either from my Laptop or from U1, with my Phone.
As I don't know a way to sync a folder directly from U1 with a phone, I'm going to sync the folder on my Laptop with my Phone.
This script syncs folder on my Laptop which is at ~/MyFolder, with the folder in my Z10 memory card at /media/MICROSD/BlackBerry/documents/MyFolder
Replace these paths in the script with relevant paths for you
#BB MyFolder Sync
echo "Starting sync with Z10.."
cp ~/MyFolder/* "/media/MICROSD/BlackBerry/documents/MyFolder/" -u -v -a -r -R -p
#add -i for interactive sync, to prompt before overwrite
echo phase 1/2 completed..
sleep 2
cp /media/MICROSD/BlackBerry/documents/MyFolder/* ~/MyFolder -u -v -a -r -R -p
#add -i for interactive sync, to prompt before overwrite
echo phase 2/2 completed..
sleep 60
Now save this as SyncMyFolder.sh and check "Allow executing file as program" (just in case you don't know this) under permissions in file properties
All set and you can now connect your phone using mass storage. You can now hit enter on SyncMyFolder.sh and choose "Run in terminal". It'll show you what is being done in the terminal window. When you see "echo phase 2/2 completed..", the folder is synced.
The only con of this process is that i have to sync my phone this way every night manually. The files I modify on my phone are now synced with U1.
There is another possibility to sync files from Ubuntu One on your Android Mobile to your PC. However, it means using dropbox to transmit the file temporarily between the SD card and the Ubuntu one folder. That said, I would prefer this method than installing something unknown or messing too much with the configs. At the end of the day your main storage is in Ubuntu and you delete the file to be transported in dropbox later. It's just a temporary transport mechanism but this works to sync from Ubuntu back to the PC then.
Step 1 - open doc with office, edit doc etc. Step 2 - save as, /storage/sdcard0/u1/Ubuntu One/folder Step 3 - Go to /storage/sdcard0/u1/Ubuntu One/folder Step 4 - Click file and send it to dropbox Step 5 - Go to Ubuntu and click 'add file' from dropbox folder where you saved Step 6 - Sync file on mobile device and it will appear on your desktop now in file list Delete file from dropbox
Please note dropbox's privacy policy.
5. data retention "there may be latency in deleting information from our servers and backed up versions might exist after deletion"
Step 2b. You could save it, encrypt it, then send it to dropbox and decrypt it after on your pc or mobile after sync (if you must).

A federal judge shoved third-tier rapper T.I. (real name Thurston Howell, IV) back to prison for 11 months for violating his probation with a drug arrest Friday.
The jailing came immediately after the Court denied his Lindsay Lohan exception Motion, finding that he was not eligible.
"While defendant accurately states that the Lohan Exception Rule does allow for famous convicted felons to have their bail continued after a probation violation," said the court in its opinion. "Rapper I.T. (sic) is not eligible under Lohan.
"The defense dropped the ball on this one," said Nancy Grace, some hideous shrew who claims to once be a lawyer. "In addition to being famous, a defendant has to be white, and attractive. T.I. is neither.
Paris Hilton was blowing rails on the dashboard of a Mercedes when she was arrested," screamed T.I.'s attorney, Ira Fishbaum, after the ruling. "We be gonna file an appeal up in this piece, maf--ker."
T.I. was caught with drugs when arrested two days ago. The drugs, an Advil and 3 Skittles, were taken from the rapper, and he was tazed 3 times.
"Get white, get cute, or get out of California," said the Judge. "But if you plan on walking around all... you know --black, and all-- be prepared to go to jail."

Fibromyalgia is a tough diagnosis even for the experienced physician. A disorder of musculoskeletal pain throughout the body that is not explained by another systemic or rheumatologic disorder, its discomfort must persist at least three months. It's also known as fibrositis, myofascial pain syndrome, chronic pain disorder and muscular rheumatism. After osteoarthritis, it is the second most common rheumatic disorder and is estimated to occur in up to 5 percent of the population.
Fibromyalgia was historically a diagnosis of exclusion. After other systemic diseases were ruled out, fibromyalgia became the diagnosis by default. Originally published almost 25 years ago, the diagnostic criteria emphasized chronic widespread pain with a series of tender or trigger points. As these are far more common in women, the diagnosis criteria led to almost exclusively female incidence. Now the criteria are more symptoms-based, and the estimate has been lowered to about two out of every three cases being in women. While most common between the ages of 30 and 50, fibromyalgia can develop at any age, even in childhood, and there is no predominant culture or ethnic group.
Fibromyalgia is considered a disease of pain regulation. Centralized pain can be documented as early as adolescence and is experienced in different regions of the body at different times. There are different central nerve patterns of pain that don't respond to treatment or to surgery on specific trouble spots. The pain is mostly along with muscles and ligaments and very common in the back, hips, neck, and shoulders. There can be multiple tender points on the exam. Headaches, generalized fatigue, and sleep disorders often accompany this disease.
Fibromyalgia also has other characteristics that help in an earlier diagnosis. Family members may have a history of chronic pain, and genetic factors have been reported. Environmental factors that are stressors involving acute pain can be ones such as chronic fatigue syndrome, viral infections, or even psychological stress. About 50 percent are genetic and 50 percent environmental when twin studies are evaluated.
The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is made on history and physical exam. Fibromyalgia is best suspected in those with multifocal pain that has no specific explanation. Often blood tests ruling out systemic illness or autoimmune vascular diseases have to come back negative before settling on the diagnosis. There is no specific lab test for fibromyalgia. Widespread pain that is present for three months or more without another disorder that would explain it best fits the diagnosis of this disease.
Treatment for fibromyalgia remains difficult. Medication such as antidepressants may help, as they aid in disrupting pain cycles. Gabapentin, given in seizure disorders but also in chronic neurologic pain, is also used with varying degrees of success. A newer, yet popular option from people who have tried it, is the use of medical cannabis and CBD oil UK. These products have been known to effectively help people who suffer from chronic pain, like fibromyalgia, as well as insomnia, fatigue, and depression. Plus, they can also help someone relax and feel calmer which is great for those bad days. These capsules, that you can find somewhere similar to Every Day Optimal CBD, (https://www.everydayoptimalcbd.com/product-category/capsules-pills/), may be able to help relieve some of the symptoms of this condition until you are able to find a more permanent solution. Education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exercise all have shown positive benefits. Straight pain medication has shown to be of only transient benefit and may sometimes even worsen the symptoms.
In underwriting, chronic pain is the major factor. Associated depression, accidents, overuse of drugs and alcohol, and effects of constant emotional stress all play into risk assessment. Those who tolerate the disease well and have stable working and medication histories can qualify for preferred issue. When mobility, employment history, medication overuse or psychological conditions are associated with fibromyalgia, rating is centered on the specific associated problems and their prognosis.

In 1969, an art professor in the Soviet Union, by the name of Uri N. Denisyuk, wanted to provide a full record of things. The hard part was the world was in 3D and almost all recording methods we in 2D (pen and paper, Photos, film etc) so he started to create holograms to record the appearance of existing three-dimensional artworks.

The scheme of recording holograms, developed by Uri. N. Denisyuk, is one of most widespread in a representational holography and provides very high quality of the image in comparison with other schemes.
- OSA | High-resolution contact Denisyuk holography
The configurations, to assure high resolution in contact Denisyuk holography, are investigated by varying the construction and the viewing angles in the recording and the reconstruction setups, respectively.

Holograms appear all over the place. They can be seen in the television and movie industry or even in modern art galleries. Yet, what exactly is a hologram? Who invented it? How does it work?

Hey everyone,
I'll be covering a few topics, so be sure to read through the update. They can be found below in sub-headings:
Faction Management: Large changes have been made to the leadership team and who can become involved with Faction Management. There are now opportunities for community members who are not in the staff team to get directly involved with the server's Faction management Team, and more opportunities for the Faction Management Public team. The Government Management team has also been re-established and will focus on the server's legal affairs/operations and legal factions. I encourage you to read through the two announcements (labelled Faction Management, Government Management) for more information on those topics which include the new members and plans moving forward for Faction Management and factions in general. If you're interested in helping out, then be sure to send a letter of interest to whomever appropriate.
Official Factions: We recently made El Corona 13 and The Neighborhood Network official factions, congratulations to the both of them and their leadership teams. We have plans to make an additional 3-4 factions official by the end of the year and will be trialling new official perks and ideas to stimulate both the weapon and drug trade for the server as we move forward with those new official factions. The focus is on heavily supporting factions and their enterprise, and doing what we can to facilitate their role-play on the server as Faction Management.
General Improvements: The changes to Faction Management and Government Management are going to bring about large, and beneficial changes to both illegal and legal factions, and the foundations they base themselves upon. This will have a ripple effect in terms of support and improvement for weapon trade, drug trade, legal affairs, processes and so on. The survey itself will help flag prominent issues and people's concerns in a clean and concise fashion. We are interested in bringing priority ideas/issues to the front to work on immediately.
Administration Support: Last month's batch of TA inductees will be graduating this month and we will be bringing in another batch straight away to train and assess (as below) so we can ensure administrators are more available around the clock to assist players in-game. Remember that this is a training and assessment program, and these selected individuals are not full administrators until they successfully graduate.
New Testers: We will not be bringing in any new testers this month but will look at bringing in another batch before the end of the year. If you recently applied for the staff team then do not worry, if you make it through to reserved then you are eligible to be selected at any time.
Contact: My inbox is always open for queries and comments. If you want to strike up a conversation with me about something that concerns you, or want to flag my attention to a discussion that could use input or management's opinion, feel free to reach out to me and let me know. I try to respond to every message that I receive despite the amount that I get on a day-to-day basis. Forum PM is always the best way to get in touch with me and guarantee that I see your message. Please don't rely on IRC or Discord as a means of getting in touch with me.
Admin Level 2 -> 3
Admin Level 1 -> 2
Congratulations to the above on their promotions. Well deserved.
I'd like to welcome back the following administrators to the team:
Patrick — Level 1
Congratulations and I look forward to seeing you around again.
Congratulations to the following TA members who have graduated the scheme and become Level 1 Administrators:
Street Boss
Congratulations to the above and I look forward to seeing you around.
The following testers will be given the opportunity to join our Tester-Admin scheme and learn the ropes of administration and perhaps become a part of our game administration team in time:
Congratulations to the above and good luck.
Happy Halloween,

Article content
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Monday he was considering a political comeback for elections expected in March, but that the decision depended on who his centre-left adversaries selected as their main candidate.
A centre-left primary contest on Sunday left Democratic Party (PD) leader Pier Luigi Bersani, 61, ahead of his younger rival Matteo Renzi before a final runoff on Dec. 2, thanks mainly to his strong support among traditional PD voters.
Renzi, the 37 year-old mayor of Florence who has run as a moderniser, is mistrusted by many on the left of the PD but has wider appeal among the broader electorate. A Renzi victory is widely seen as a deterrent to a Berlusconi comeback.
In the latest of several switches of position, Berlusconi, who has previously ruled out running, said Italy needed a complete transformation following mounting popular disgust with traditional politics.
"I think that it's right for someone who had the honour of leading the Italian government for almost 10 years to reflect on the way to achieve this modernisation of Italy, this liberal revolution," he said, in an interview with his own Canale 5 television.
Berlusconi said he would decide what to do depending on whether the left's candidate turned out to be Renzi or former communist Bersani. "With Renzi, Italy could have a Social Democratic party like other countries such as Germany and England have," he said.

Thought for the Day – "Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of grains that could have become beer, but didn't."…Anonymous
We know you've got questions – everyone does. Or maybe you are someone who finds factoids interesting. If so, this might become your favorite page on the site.
We're not exactly sure ourselves what is going to end up on "Wort the Firk?". Maybe it will become our "FAQ" page. Maybe all the stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else will end up here. If you have any suggestions, let us know.
Hops and Pot – What's the Difference?
Who knew that hops (Humulus Lupulus) are biologically related to (cousins if you will) of cannabis? Also, according to Beeradvocate.com, "Hop plants are dioecious, meaning the males and females flower on separate plants — and the female cones are used in the brewing process. Hops are the age old seasoning of the beer, the liquid gargoyles who ward-off spoilage from wild bacteria and bringers of balance to sweet malts. They also lend a hand in head retention, help to clear beer (acting as a natural filter) and please the palate by imparting their unique characters and flavors. Basically, hops put the "bitter" in beer." For a painfully detailed explanation of the relationship between hops and pot, check out this article from BeerSci…
Some basics, straight from Wikipedia:
What is this homebrew thing anyway?
People homebrew for a variety of reasons. Homebrewing can be cheaper than buying commercially equivalent beverages; it allows people to adjust recipes according to their own tastes creating beverages that are unavailable on the open market or low-ethanol beverages that may contain fewer calories. Some people join homebrewing clubs and enter homebrew competitions.
– This is why the Parker Hop-Aholics exist!
Is it legal??
Most states permit allow homebrewing of 100 gallons of beer per adult (of 18 years or older) per year and up to a maximum of 200 gallons per household annually when there are two or more adults residing in the household. Because alcohol is taxed by the federal government via excise taxes, homebrewers are restricted from selling any beer they brew. This similarly applies in most Western countries. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter signed into law a bill allowing home beers, which was at the time not permitted without paying the excise taxes as a holdover from the prohibition of alcoholic beverages (repealed in 1933). This change also exempted home brewers from posting a "penal bond" (which currently ranges from a minimum of $1000.00 to a maximum of $500,000) which had the prohibitive effect of economically preventing brewers of small quantities from pursuing their hobby.
– Way to go, Jimmuh!

Mystery mum rescues pet dog Rocky from raging river
PUBLISHED: 09:35 06 January 2014 | UPDATED: 09:35 06 January 2014
A GRAtefUL pensioner is hoping to track down a mystery mum who saved his pet dog from a raging River Sid and then vanished.
Aubrey Bailey, 88, feared the worst when his elderley canine companion, Rocky, went for a paddle in The Byes, but was overcome by the water and washed away at an alarming speed.
An unknown woman rescued the stricken collie from the fast-flowing torrent - despite having two children in a pushchair and her own dog in tow.
She disappeared before relieved grandfather-of-one Aubrey could thank her properly.
He said the woman arrived out of nowhere 'like Batman' and described her actions as 'extremely brave and selfless'.
Aubrey, who lives in Hampshire but visits his step-daughter Angela Rose and her husband Michael in Sidmouth every Christmas, said: "It all happened so fast - just a few frightening minutes from beginning to end."
He described how the river hurtled 12-year-old Rocky away 'at a good 20 miles per hour' and eventually left his four-legged friend clinging to a rock downstream at the bottom of an eight-foot bank.
"I'm 88 and there is no way I could have saved him myself," said Aubrey. "I would have tried to get down and would probably have broken my legs.
"This lovely, young lady with two children in a pushchair and a dog shouted 'watch my pram and the dog' and in a split second leapt down to the water level, grabbed Rocky's collar - and dragged him out.
"I was so grateful, but our saviour made light of it, and went on her way.
"I have pinned a notice on the bridge, hoping she will identify herself, because I would like to thank her more appropriately."
Aubrey said the woman was around 25 years of age and had dark hair.
He added that Rocky was no worse for his adventure – and even wanted to go back in the river the next day.
The incident happened on December 23.

Before I left our condo in California for our home in Washington State I had some fun with this table. I had 4 Gracey Knight salad plates called Nantucket Shoreline that I wanted to create a table top around. My shells from my beach walks in the ginger jar made a fun centerpiece to go with these lighthouses.
I bought these 12 shell napkin rings at a local garage sale for $1.00. The light blue glass chargers cost me a 99 cents each at my local Goodwill.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

If you notice the way Dana White looks when he says, "I'll be cranking the blogs out this week like crazy" it is because he has said that in the past (like last week) and only ends up putting out one or two. Not cool to tease the fans like that Mr. White — and he knows it!
White says, "This might be the best video blog we've ever done" and he just might be right. Viewers get a look backstage after UFC 135. You will see "Rampage" Jackson following his loss to Jon Jones getting worked on by the doctor and seeing the big gash over his eye up close for the first time.
You will see the real reason Jones did not appear overly thrilled at the post-fight press conference, and it was not because he was not happy with the win, it is because the guy could barely walk after the fight and was in excruciating pain.
Watch as Aaron Simpson tries to talk after his fight with Tony Ferguson and as he asks the doctor if there is an alternative to having his jaw wired shut. Watch as Josh Koscheck tells Matt Hughes he was getting the best of him and Hughes says he wishes he could remember the last ten seconds before his lights got cut off.
All this and much much more…
