- the impact of competition from other market participants, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband and telephone providers, digital subscriber line ("DSL") providers, and video provided over the Internet;
- general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn, high unemployment levels and the level of activity in the housing sector;

- our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions.

Anyone who knows me, or for that matter, anyone that's been following this blog for very long, knows that I'm a pretty independent spirit and tend to take other people's advice as (at best) suggestions (including my doctors).
So today I got out and drove my car. This goes against all instructions from my doctor, advice from my husband, and in direct violation of the traffic laws of the great state of Texas (until we secede, at which point it will once again be the great nation of Texas). It's actually against the law in Texas to drive impeded — such as being in a sling. Even if someone else smacked me, it would have been my fault. So I weighed the unlikely event that I would become crossways with a law enforcement officer against wearing my sling while driving. Caution overruled what is probably good sense, so I went without my sling. I spend some time out of it each day (showering, exercising, etc.) so I figured that a few minutes more wouldn't hurt anything.
I didn't go far, but Sunny (my bright yellow SmartCar) hadn't be started, much less driven, in the three weeks since surgery, and I know how I feel when no one revs my engine for that long.
Need I say that they only way I could even consider driving is around is that my husband is out of town this weekend?
Granted he had great intentions on taking Sunny and me out for a spin before he left yesterday, but (1) he's been very busy leading up to this trip and (2) being a Cadillac guy, he doesn't really like driving the SmartCar. I suspect that (2) had more to do with the fact that he hasn't gotten Sunny out of the garage.
Living a block away from two of the busiest freeways in the state, probably the nation, has it's pluses. I took Sunny down the block and around the corner and within a few minutes was tooling along the access road at a healthy 50 mph. When I got to the intersection of the second highway, being Sunday morning, there were like five cars on it, so off we went there. He got to stretch his legs at 65 mph, followed by a few cool down blocks through quiet residential neighborhoods before being safely tucked back into his garage spot.
The only problem I really had is that I can't use my turn signal and the fact that drivers who don't use their turn signals is one of my pet peeves bothers me considerably more than the fact that I snuck out in the first place.
But it was good to be bad. It was good for me to get out of the house for a few minutes. I now have confidence that if I absolutely needed to, I could drive. And it was certainly good for the car to get his tires turning and his engine revving.
Hopefully Thursday when I see the doctor he'll let me have a bit more freedom. While there's a lot of great things about being able to hang around the house and work from home, I'm ready to feel normal again.
I'll check in after I see the doc on Thursday unless something worth noting comes up. Thanks for checking in and for all the good thoughts.

Do you have the courage to follow Jesus Christ?
Do you have the courage to follow Jesus Christ?
When Christians say they are Jesus� disciples, it means they are his students. They learn from him and practice lessons that come from him.
This means practicing those lessons that contradict society�s ways.
Jesus talks about the love of money being the root of all evil. How much do you love money? Do you pursue it with a vengeance to the detriment of other obligations?
The Bible teaches that everyone is created in God�s image, that everyone is equal in God�s sight. As a student of Jesus Christ, do you think you are better than some people � or many people? Do you think there are persons or groups of persons that are inferior� different nationalities, different skin colors, different ways of interpreting the scriptures? Do you carry any prejudices, whether it is about race or economic status?
Jesus teaches that Sabbath rest is important. He practiced this himself by spending time alone to pray and have focused time with God. Do you practice Sabbath rest, or are you active seven days a week? Do you declare that you deserve to have fun, and by so doing have no thought for your relationship with God?
Jesus teaches that we must stand firm in our conviction of him. He says to let our yes be yes and our no be no.
How well do you do with this?
Jesus says we must not commit adultery � as it says in the Ten Commandments � but he takes it farther. He says that if anyone looks at another with lust, adultery has already been committed in their heart.
Have you committed adultery in your heart?
Jesus calls his followers salt and light. Salt brings out the flavor in foods and was used as a preservative. Jesus� disciples should help add richness to life and share the Gospel. As light, his disciples should be beacons of hope, expectation, joy, love, grace and forgiveness.
Do you represent these traits?
Many pastors today try to convey that it�s easy to follow Jesus. I have occasionally been guilty of this. But being a Christian � a disciple of Jesus Christ � is not easy! It is challenging because Jesus� teachings, and the call for disciples to follow and live those teachings, go against everything the world says is OK.
So, I�ll ask again: Do you have the courage to follow Jesus? Being a Christian is not for sissies. It is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those who would be wishy-washy when confronted by challenges.
Being a Christian means taking a stand for Jesus Christ, every moment of every day.
The Rev. Mark Broadhead is Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview�s pastor.

The Australian DJs behind a prank call to the hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was being treated have spoken of their regret after one of the nurses they duped was later found dead in a suspected suicide.
In emotional interviews on Australian TV networks, presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian insisted that their prank call to the King Edward VII's Hospital in central London had "never meant" to get that far and they had expected staff to hang up on them.
The pair posed as the Queen and the Prince of Wales when they rang the hospital where Kate was being treated for acute morning sickness. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha took the initial call and, believing the call to be genuine, put them through to another colleague who was duped into describing Kate's condition in detail.
A tearful Greig, who was at times comforted by Christian, told Today Tonight on Australia's Channel Seven: "There's nothing that can make me feel worse than what I feel right now. And for what I feel for the family. We're so sorry that this has happened to them." Christian said he was "gutted, shattered, heartbroken" by the nurse's death.
Mother of two Ms Saldanha, 46, was found dead on Friday in what appeared to be a suspected suicide. Greig said: "I remember my first question was 'Was she a mother?'. I have thought about this a million times in my head, that I just wanted to reach out to them and just give them a big hug and say sorry."
In a second interview on the Nine Network, the DJs said they had never expected their fake call would be put through to the Duchess's ward. They said they expected it to last 30 seconds, get told off and have the phone hung up in their ear.
Christian told Nine's A Current Affair programme: "It was something that was just fun and light-hearted and a tragic turn of events no-one could have predicted or expected. We are shattered, heartbroken and our deepest sympathy goes to the family, friends and all those people affected. Mel and myself are incredibly sorry for the situation and what's happened."
In a statement, the radio station's owner, Southern Cross Austero Media, said it had suspended advertising on the station 2Day FM until further notice, ended Greig and Christian's Hot 30 show and suspended prank calls across the company. The statement said attempts had been made to contact the hospital before the hoax was broadcast, adding that it believed no laws had been broken.
A spokeswoman for the King Edward VII's Hospital said: "Following the hoax call, the radio station did not speak to anyone in the hospital's senior management or anyone at the company that handles our media inquiries."
Police in London have contacted their Australian counterparts about speaking with the two radio presenters. Scotland Yard is understood to have asked police in Sydney for assistance, with a view to interviewing the two DJs ahead of an inquest into Ms Saldanha's death. A post-mortem examination is due to be held this week and an inquest opened and adjourned at Westminster Coroner's Court, Scotland Yard said. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

In the Matter of
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropiate to institute public administrative proceedings against Respondent Walter Thompson Reeder ("Reeder") pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
In anticipation of the institution of these administrative proceedings, Reeder has submitted an Offer of Settlement ("Offer"), which the Commission has determined that it is in the public interest to accept. Solely for the purpose of this proceeding and any other proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Commission or to which the Commission is a party, prior to a hearing and without admitting or denying the findings contained herein, except that he admits the jurisdiction of the Commission over him and over the subject matter of these proceedings, Respondent Reeder consents to the issuance of this Order Instituting Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Issuing a Cease-and-Desist Order ("Order") and to the entry of the findings and the issuance of the cease-and-desist order as set forth below.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that said proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted.
On the basis of the Order and Offer, the Commission finds the following:1
A. Respondent
Walter Thompson Reeder, 48, has served as vice president and a director of Swisher International, Inc. since March 1988. Reeder is the second highest-ranking officer at the company and reports directly to CEO Patrick Swisher ("Swisher"). Reeder also is the majority owner of Charlotte Hygiene, the company that purchased the Charlotte hygiene franchise. Reeder resides in Charlotte, NC.
B. Other Relevant Persons and Entities
Swisher International Inc. (SII), a Nevada corporation headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is in the business of franchising commercial and residential hygiene services. Following its initial public offering in 1993, SII registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Its common stock traded on the NASDAQ from April 1993 to May 1998 under the symbol SWSH and currently trades on the OTC bulletin board. On April 28, 2000, Swisher International filed a Form 15 terminating its registration with the Commission pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 12(g)(4), and is no longer required to file periodic reports with the Commission.
Patrick Lee Swisher, 46, has been Chief Executive Officer and a director of SII since its inception. Swisher is also the majority owner of Lone Star Hygiene, LLC ("Lone Star"), a Texas corporation that bought and manages the Houston franchise.
C. The Premature Recognition of the Houston Franchise Sale
SII and its Chairman Patrick L. Swisher overstated the company's earnings for the quarter ended July 31, 1996 by prematurely recording the $450,000 sale of the company-owned Houston franchise to a corporation Swisher set up and controlled. At Swisher's direction, SII improperly recognized the revenue in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 1996, despite the fact that the sale was not finalized. The $284,017 gain SII recorded on the sale was material as it enabled SII to report quarterly net income of $163,886 instead of a loss of $120,131. Swisher's and Reeder's intentional or reckless conduct resulted in the accounting staff recognizing the sale of the Houston franchise as a third quarter transaction, when in fact that transaction was not yet completed.
SII's third quarter Form 10-Q also failed to disclose that Swisher was the majority owner of Lone Star. Such disclosures, known as related-party transaction disclosures, are required by Regulation S-X § 210.10, Interim Financial Statements [17 CFR § 210.10], and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 57, Related Party Disclosures.
By virtue of his position and conversations he had with Swisher, Reeder knew that Swisher was the majority owner of Lone Star, the entity that purchased the Houston franchise. Reeder also knew that the company's financial statements did not reflect (1) that Swisher was the majority owner of Lone Star or (2) that it was a related-party transaction. Nonetheless, on or about February 14, 1997, Reeder reviewed and signed a representation letter requested by the auditors. In this letter, Reeder told the auditors that all "Related-party transactions and related amounts receivable or payable including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements and guarantees, all of which have been recorded in accordance with the economic substance of the transactions" had been properly recorded and disclosed in the company's financial statements. SII's Form 10-K filed after the close of the audit did not disclose the related-party nature of the Houston franchise sale.
On October 30, 1996, the company filed a Form S-3 registering 221,000 of 480,000 SII shares Swisher had recently transferred to Armand Investment Corporation ("Armand"), a Bahamian company for which Swisher was the sole director. The registration statement, which respondent Reeder signed as a director, did not disclose that Swisher was a beneficial owner of the shares, which was a material fact.
Reeder knew that Swisher was the sole director of Armand. Through conversations with Swisher, Reeder knew that Swisher had initially contemplated using the Armand entity as the majority owner of Lone Star Hygiene instead of himself and therefore that Swisher controlled Armand. Reeder also understood Armand to be a retirement vehicle for Swisher. Subsequently, on January 21, 1997, Reeder witnessed Swisher's signature as an "Authorized Representative" and "President" of Armand Investment Corporation. Nonetheless, SII made no effort to amend or update the Form S-3.
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder prohibits a person from making misstatements or omissions of material fact or engaging in any scheme to defraud in connection with the purchase or sale of a security. A fact is material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider the information to be important. Basic, Inc. v. Levinson, 485 U.S. 224, 231-32 (1988). To violate Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, a defendant must act with scienter, Aaron v. SEC, 446 U.S. 680, 695 (1980), defined as a mental state embracing intent to deceive, manipulate, or defraud. Ernst & Ernst v. Hochfelder, 425 U.S. 185, 193 n.12 (1976). Recklessness also has been found to satisfy the scienter requirement. See, e.g., Decker v. Massey-Ferguson, Ltd., 681 F.2d 111, 120 (2d Cir. 1982).
Reeder's intentional or reckless conduct resulted in SII's accounting staff prematurely recognizing the Houston franchise sale in the third quarter of 1996, in violation of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. As a result, the financial statements included in SII's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 1996 and the Form 10-K for the period ended October 31, 1996, were materially overstated.
Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act provides that no person shall knowingly falsify any book, record, or account or circumvent internal controls. Rule 13b2-1 prohibits the falsification of any book, record, or account subject to Section 13(b)(2)(A). Rule 13b2-2 prohibits an officer or director from making material false statements or omissions to an accountant in connection with an audit of an issuer's financial statements or the preparation of any document or report required to be filed with the Commission. By signing the representation letter that told the auditors that all related-party transactions had been disclosed, under the circumstances described above, Reeder's intentional or reckless conduct violated Section 13(b)(5). This conduct also violated Rules 13b2-1 and 13b2-2. Likewise, Reeder's conduct resulting in the creation of records reflecting the Houston franchise sale in the company's third quarter violated Rule 13b2-1.
Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act, prohibits any person from obtaining money or property by means of untrue statements of material facts or omissions, in the offer or sale of securities. Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act proscribes "any transaction, practice or course of business, which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit . . ." in the offer or sale of securities. A violation of these provisions may be established by a showing of negligence. Aaron v. SEC, 448 U.S. 680, 697 (1980); SEC v. Hughes Capital Corp., 124 F.3d 449, 453-54 (3d Cir. 1997). Respondent violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) by signing the Form S-3 which omitted to disclose the material fact that Swisher beneficially owned Armand's 480,000 shares of SII stock.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds that Respondent Walter Thompson Reeder violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 10b-5, 13b2-1, and 13b2-2 thereunder.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate to impose the following orders:
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act and Section 21C of the Exchange Act, that Respondent Walter Thompson Reeder cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act; and Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13b2-1 and 13b2-2.
By the Commission.

Peaking Lights | 20/02/12
Indra Dunis and Aaron Coyes, AKA Wisconsin's Peaking Lights (described by one particularly enraptured reviewer as "the most exciting band I have seen in fucking years. Full fucking stop.") are returning to the UK to hypnotise and delight audiences with their swirling bliss of dubby majesty for some hotly-anticipated shows this summer, with some guaranteed-to-be-showstopping festival performances as well as a couple of headline shows in London and Leeds. So make sure to mark these dates in your diary now, because they really are something very special live:
- Saturday 2nd of June – London, Field Day
- Sunday 3rd of June – Dublin, Forbidden Fruit
- Tuesday 5th of June – Leeds, Brudenell*
- Wednesday 6th of June – London, XOYO*
- Friday 17th August – North Yorkshire, Beacons Festival
- Saturday 18th August – Brecon Beacons, Green Man Festival
*support provided by the wonderful Julia Holter.
The frankly unfairly-talented Dunis and Coyes have had a hugely busy and successful 2011, releasing not only their majestic (and critically adored) album 936 in November, which rocketed immediately into many critics' end-of-year lists, but also a fully-functioning human child, a fixture of their touring set up last year.
They are currently putting the finishing touches to their new, as-yet-untitled masterpiece, which will see a summer release – more news to follow soon. Incidentally, we're talking about a new record rather than another baby, although you never know...

Microsoft very quietly announced a new Xbox Live Arcade game today called Karaoke. On the surface, it sounds rather harmless; partnering with The Karaoke Channel, it lets users stream around 8000 songs from a central library, and you can use SmartGlass to queue up tracks and save a favourites list.
The weirdness comes in when you learn how you pay for the thing. It's not an up-front purchase. And you don't pay for songs. Instead, there's a small rotating library of free songs. To access the entire library, you pay, by throwing down for blocks of 2, 6 or 24 hours.
In other words, you're renting the game. Or paying by the hour. However you want to put it. It's certainly a novel approach to a console game. Let's see if it actually pans out (I have my doubts, since for some reason it doesn't support Kinect, meaning you need a compatible microphone).

In this connection reference may be made to the well-known fact that in some hysterical subjects there are so-called "erogenous zones" simple pressure on which suffices to evoke the complete orgasm. There is, perhaps, some significance, from our present point of view, in the fact that, as emphasized by Savill ("Hysterical Skin Symptoms," Lancet, January 30 1904) the skin is one of the very best places to study hysteria.

Best Tailgating Kegs
With Tailgating Season Nearly Here, We Present The 10 Best Kegerators To Keep The Party Going
Football season is officially underway, which in drinking terms translates to tailgating season. And chances have it you've been so preoccupied assembling an elite fantasy football team (or playing Madden '16) that no effort's been put into figuring out how you'll be quenching all thirst for booze in the coming months. Well, since beer remains the preferential beverage of choice amongst the pigskin faithful, there's only one way to go when rolling with huge crowds. Enter the kegerator.
These residential draft beer-dispensing machines remain a fixture in most backyards, mancaves, and even car trunks — keeping brews cold and fresh all season long. Now it's all about investing in the right one to accommodate your chugging needs. The market offers a variety of kegerators for indoor and outdoor use, with amenities and features including built-in countertops, freestanding, one-to-three tap, and portable. The choices are overwhelming.
So, rather than have you spend hours performing research, we picked up the tab and narrowed down the prime selections for you. That way there's more time to monitor your fantasy stats. Here is a list of the best beer kegerators to kick off your next social football gathering.
Krups B100 BeerTender
The sexiest and most accommodating of the crowd, the BeerTender's taste quality comes from its ability to beautifully blend into any environment. It's functional and light enough to carry around, while offering efficient cooling for any outdoor tailgating extravaganzas. Best of all, it requires little energy to run and keeps beer fresh for up to 30 days after tapping. The machine is designed to take on other 5-liter mini kegs too.
Edgestar Full Size Triple Tap
Fantasy Football ringleaders looking to host their entire league on Sundays have more than enough taps to work with here. Edgestar's beer-dispensing trifecta can tackle three 5-gallon kegs simultaneously, with a Deep Chill mode engineered to serve up cold brewskis till the keg is tapped. Question the chill factor? Place your peepers on the digital, front-mounted temperature display for reassurance. Mount the kegerator permanently to a corner in the basement or use its casters to switch up the décor, and maybe even convince the gang to lift it up onto the back porch.
$854.05 at Amazon.com
Keggermeister KM2800SS
Most of us feel inclined to down an entire keg before the end of a Monday Night Football game. With the Keggermeister, you have the luxury of saving some extra sips to cope with those long days at work, as the machine keeps the beer from going flat for up to three months. The black and chrome spout with stainless steel tower and onyx countertop certainly adds elegance to your home. Not to mention the four durable casters make it possible to spread that same lavishness around the mancave or pool area.
$591.99 at Amazon.com
Nostalgia Electrics KRS-2100 Kegerator
Storing up to 10-gallon kegs, this mobile brew dispenser is made to service large crowds. The chrome guardrail is insulated tight to keep beers carbonated for weeks on end, plus the addition of an empty 2.5-pound CO2 bottle and adjustable thermostat ensures your silver bullets stay frosty. Four swivel casters means simple transportation between the backyard, basement or parking lot.
$448.99 at Amazon.com
Beverage Air DD68C-1-S
This luxury multi-beer dispenser spares nothing when it comes to performance and price. On top of fitting three half-sized kegs behind its sleekly designed dual-door system, the Beverage Air stocks canned and bottled refreshments to accommodate every drinker present. Expect chilled beer to ooze from the dispenser's 1/3 hp compressor R-134a refrigerant, which maintains the temperature to produce brisk results.
$3,435.25 at Amazon.com
Edgestar Mini Kegerator TBC50S
Inexpensive, portable, and craft beer-friendly, this mini-keg specializes in chilling brews that have their own built-in Draughtkeg pressure system. That means Heineken and Newcastle Brown Ale mini kegs only. However, the machine is versatile and supports an optional CO2 tank to use with all other types of drafts kegs. No matter the brew option, the machine's Peltier thermoelectric cooling system keeps everything cold at moderate temperatures for chilled sipping.
$219.95 at Amazon.com
Kegco K309SS-2
A double-fisters fantasy, this dual-tap sipper can undertake two kegs or convert into a refrigerator. The Digital Temperature Control system surpasses coolness expectations with a temperature range of 32-75°F, which should result in a few frosty brews. Once emptying out the barrels, remove them and utilize the space to stock the kegerator with 12-packs and gallon jugs. And unlike most models, the Kego KS309SS-2 comes equipped with the necessary equipment to support each keg.
$709.99 at Amazon.com
Avanti Dual Mini-Keg Kegerator
Larger than most of the market's mini-beer coolers, the Avanti offers more bang for the bang courtesy of its sturdy design and storage space. For starters, you can set up two different mini-kegs for variety. It packs attractive features including a digital display, glass storage shelf, and CO2 regulator and pressure gauge. In addition, the stylish draught-type handle makes for convenient pouring as well. And in the case one of your drunken pals manages to break off any of its reinforced parts, the manufacturer's warranty will take care of the damages.
Smart+ Products Freestanding Kegerator
The fact that it's been sold out for months on most online retail sites says a lot. But this isn't a popularity contest. The Freestanding Kegerator earns notoriety for its attractive presentation value, consisting of a non-wire-hanging, sleek beer tap and chrome guardrail. Let's not forget its capability to hide a CO2 tank inside. A few wire shelves come bundled to transform this kegerator into a foot bar fridge. The 1-year warranty only adds to its value.
$549.99 at Amazon.com
Midea HS-199B
Midea's kegerator can handle ½- and ¼-sized keg models, and doubles as a mini-fridge to preserve bottles and cans at purposed temperatures. Mechanical controls equate to seamless operation, whereas the high cooling system keeps everything on tap chilled. Though keep in mind you'll need an independent thermometer to monitor accurate temperatures. The removable drip tray also assists with collecting spills caused by inebriated klutzes.
$479.99 at Amazon.com

Park Model Pact: RVC, American RV & Athens
November 24, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Park Model Pact: RVC, American RV & Athens
For the first time ever, an outdoor hospitality company, an RV dealership and a manufacturer are forming a joint venture.
RVC Outdoor Destinations will be teaming with American RV of Olive Branch, Miss., a dealership carrying a variety of RV classes and park models, and Athens Park Homes of East Texas, quality builder of RV park models, park model cabins and now the Resort Cottages branded by RVC, according to a news release.
"This is the first time in the RV industry that these three types of establishments have formed a partnership," said Phil Surles of Athens Park Homes and manufacturer of RVC Resort Cottages.
RVC President Andy Cates added, "A dynamic team has been formed and I believe it will drive more interest to park models and to the outdoor hospitality industry."
The partnership is new for everyone involved, but relationship ties beforehand have helped to ease the way. Cates and Peter Albano, president of American RV, have been supportive friends providing feedback to each other in the past. Albano was interested in pursuing the park model business that Cates and the RVC team have spent considerable time exploring.
Each company expects to benefit from this venture by giving interested buyers a new and improved product line, thus widening their purchasing options. The RVC Resort Cottage's superior architectural design, layout options and overall quality are just some of the features that make it stand out from traditional park models.
In addition to providing a new line of park models, American RV is now able to offer a highly attractive destination for people interested in purchasing an RVC Resort Cottage, which can be placed at any RVC Outdoor Destination. American RV will continue to offer traditional park models, which are ideal for farms, hunting camps, recreational land and guest houses.
Furthermore, RVC Outdoor Destinations will assist in sales of RVs by arranging a smooth "maiden voyage" experience. This program is designed to help the new RV owner from purchase to their first RV vacation at an RVC Outdoor Destination. American RV is reciprocating favors by helping to drive traffic to RVC properties via park model sales and cross marketing.
About the Principals
RVC Outdoor Destinations is rapidly becoming a leading outdoor hospitality company. Based in Memphis, Tenn., RVC Outdoor Destinations owns and operates six properties in the Southeast, one of which is a boat club. An RVC Outdoor Destination is a natural environment mixed with a hotel experience. Their properties are typically located in scenic pastoral settings often with significant water frontage.
American RV, located not far from RVC's headquarters, has been operating for over 10 years and is the oldest northern Mississippi RV dealership. They take pride in their vast selection, dutiful assistance and economical prices. Their "easy to find…hard to beat!" motto reflects their devotion to sell the right kind of motor or land home for each customer.
Athens Park Homes is headquartered in East Texas and operates the nation's largest park model manufacturing plant. With their already advanced floorplans and features, they have joined RVC to create another exceptional product in the industry.

Belgian Appeals Court Says Google Must Pay Up For Linking To Newspaper Websites
from the linking-is-infringing dept
I guess this means we can no longer link to any website in Belgium.
In the meantime, Google has been ordered to remove any and all links to articles and photos from all Belgian newspapers (in German or French -- as the article notes, the Flemish papers have no apparent problem with Google News). Google execs seem understandably bewildered by the decision. First of all, they're sending these newspapers traffic, which you would think is a good thing. Second, for the most part (with a few notable exceptions) courts have found that merely linking is not infringement. And, most importantly, if these newspapers don't want Google linking to them, all they have to do is set up a robots.txt file telling Google to go elsewhere.

Transforming Data-Driven instruction
The uses of technology in education go far beyond the delivery of curriculum on computers, interactive whiteboards, and tablets. Technology tools have revolutionized the management of student data, empowering teachers in making data-driven decisions. Web-based data management systems assist with day-to-day management of formative data, link to a districts current data and to state standards, identify students at risk, generate reports, and enable 3-tier progress monitoring for RTI. Mobile devices save significant time and provide assessment results immediately. Mondo offers two technology products to help use data effectively: the web-based DataZone online data management system and mCLASS®: Reading 3D Mondo Edition, a handheld and online reporting platform. Mondo also offers its complete K5 collection of leveled student books as interactive e-books in English and Spanish as well as all of Bookshop's shared reading materials which are available for interactive whiteboard.

Diarrhea kitten just spayed help!!
My kitten was just spayed on Thursday and she has had diarrhea quite a bit through yesterday and today. Even just now my poor baby girl is having diarrhea for the second time in the last 10 minutes. She was not this bad yesterday. She is taking a half of a pain pill once a day (started them yesterday). Is this normal? I thought it may be normal for a few days so I didn't panic and call the vet today. Now they are closed tomorrow and Monday (Holiday). I'm wondering if I should have called them today now I feel so bad and guilty
Any advise? Could this be from the operation or pain meds? Please anyone???
It's a possibility that the pain medication is causing the diarrhea since it happened right after her spaying. How long is kitty to stay on the pain medication? Is kitty active, eating and drinking well? the important thing with diarrhea is to keep her well hydrated. If she's not drinking and becomes lethargic, call your vet immediately or take her to an emergency vet, as young kittens can go down fast. She should not be drinking any milk, as this often causes digestive upset. Some people have had good success with firming up stool by adding some pure canned pumpkin to the food, about 1/4 tsp. not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugar. Hope things work out for you and kitty. Let us know how it goes.

Re: Kitten with Diarrhea
Yes she has been eating quite well and drinking water through the day. I think it's the 20mg of Tolfedine (pain meds) she has been taking once a day - (1/2 pill). I grind it up into a powder and put it in her food. On Thursday early evening when I got her home after the spay she seemed fine. She ate a little and drank some water. Friday morning I gave her 1/2 a pill crushed up in her food and then by late afternoon she had some diarrhea and again in the evening - and boy does it stink so bad lol poor baby girl. She literally runs to her litter box to make sure she gets in it on time. Saturday early morning she had more diarrhea and at one point she had no control and I saw some on her bum and I cleaned it off - it was a yellowish colour. She was fine after that until after she ate (pill crushed up again in the food). By late afternoon she had the diarrhea again which she controlled this time and later in the evening she had it 2 more times within about 10 minutes of each other. She seems good now (it's 12:45am) she's sleeping. There are 2 pills left for her to take (she gets a half each morning) last one she takes will be on Monday. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the diarrhea goes away after that. I'm just not sure if it's the eating after surgery or pills that is causing this.
I would stop the pain pills immediately. They are not necessary for the healing. How is her incision looking?
Not all cats can tolerate it and it can be hard on the kidneys and liver and this is a sign that she is not tolerating it well.
From this website:
Gastro-intestinal, renal and hepatic function should be monitored periodically in animals on a long-term therapy. Treated animals should be monitored for the occurrence of side effects. Adverse reactions considered typical of NSAIDs include gastro-intestinal ulceration, renal toxicity and hematological abnormalities. NSAIDs present a greater risk in animals under 6 weeks of age or in aged, debilitated or sick animals. Tolfedine should be used with caution in these cases; careful clinical monitoring is advised. In the event of gastro-intestinal signs (e.g. loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea or melena), or adverse drug reactions (e.g. lethargy, behavioral changes, abnormal bleeding), treatment should be discontinued.

I would be taking the kitten to see a vet right away. Your kitten may be eating and drinking, but the amount of d'rea that it is having, your kitten will become dehyrdated very fast. And like catlover has stated, kittens do down fast.
Re: Diarrhea
Arghhh - I just typed out this whole long message and by the time I was trying to upload it the system timed me out so I will keep this short.
I have discontinued giving my kitten her pain meds to see if this helps with the Diarrhea. She has been eating well and drinking quite a bit of water. I did look up the info on the meds like the one post showed but I think some of you are over reacting a little. She was only given 4 pills - she is to take a half a pill once a day for 4 days. The info that one poster showed is for longer term usuage of the pills which I can see may cause the kidney/renal problems or even failure. I don't believe my kitten is taking enough to cause that type of damage but I'm not a vet. I will monitor her today/tonight and see if her not taking the pill today makes a difference. My vet is closed on Sundays and since it's Thanksgiving on Monday they are closed then as well. If my kitten seems to be in any type of distress I would certainly not hesitate to take her to an emergency clinic.
Thank for you input - have a great day.

You should consult your vet first before stopping meds.
There are times when the anesthesia used upsets a kitten's system. That is possibly, combined with the pill, the reason behind the kitty's upset.
Another member mentioned adding a small amount of pure pumpkin to the kitten's food. You could also give her a small amount of plain yogurt to help coat her stomach and restore her belly flora or give her a pinch of Asidopholous (a probiotic).
A kitten is so active and on the go it doesn't take much to upset their system. My youngest one spent part of yesterday throwing up because he ate his food way too fast.
I'm sure within a few days kitty will be back to normal. Maybe up till she starts feeling more herself it would be a good idea to add a bit of water to her canned food to ensure she is getting more fluids and does not become dehydrated. It would also not be a bad idea to talk to your vet's office on Tues when they reopen.

Pain meds or not. The vet obvious gave the meds to take home, for a reason. The cat probably didn't take the surgery well, really painful for the cat, so he opted for the client to take meds home. Also, we do not know, if the meds are causing the d'rea. Are we really in the right notion, to tell someone to stop taking anything. no, I don't think so.
She really should be consulting her vet and figuring out why her kitten is having d'rea.
Re: Diarrhea
Update on the Diarrhea....
I did not give my kitten her 1/2 pill yesterday to see if this would make a difference. She still had the diarrhea yesterday despite not taking the pill so I decided that I would give her the 1/2 pill this morning. She still has the diarrhea but it does not seem to be that yellowish strange colour it was the day after the surgery it was more brown in colour and it does not seem to be as much diarrhea as before but she is still getting it whenever she goes to the litter - I'm monitoring this. I did buy some cat food at Global Pet Food Store yesterday which is chicken & pumkin in a broth. I always buy good quality high moisture content kitty food from this pet store. The only weird thing I noticed yesterday and today is her eyes - at times they seem cloudy looking and her pupils seem very large to me which is unusual. There was a time this afternoon (maybe from taking that 1/2 pill I'm not sure) that her eyes looked normal - clear and normal pupil but this evening they look a bit odd again. I am going to give her the last 1/2 pill tomorrow morning and I will call the vet first thing. As 12+ mentioned on there post, she is a very active playful kitten (like most) and she jumps up on everything and runs around. I think all stuff they gave her before/after her spaying is what is trying to come out of her now. I'm looking at the receipt for the spaying and they gave her 2 Tolfedine 20mg pills, 1 Metacam injection and 1 IV Fluids during Anesthetic and she was checked over (examined). She is healing well I am keeping my eye on her belly area where they stiched her up. The vet that spayed her is very reputable and well known in the Toronto area - a few people I know take their dogs/cats to him. Thanks to everyone's help and comments it's great to find a community that's so helpful.
Metacam alone often makes cats very ill and has a black box warning now that Metacam can cause acute renal failure in cats.
I'm not a vet or anything, but I 100% agree that you need to stop using the pain meds. Would you rather your cat be sore for a few days or dead? You can keep giving her the pain meds which are probably doing absolutely nothing for her anyways because it was a spay surgery, not some sort of crazy horrible surgery... the only thing the combination of Metacam and post op NSAIDS is going to do is probably kill your cat at this point.
I'm a surgery tech and I basically refuse to give Metacam to any animals at this point because I've seen too many bad things happen from it and to be honest it does NOTHING to help the animals. Sorry, long rant, but it's a waste of money and puts animals at risk, especially kitties.
Does it say what anesthesia was used? Probably not related but I am curious as I am not familiar with the pain pills they sent you home on.
And just for the record it can take several days for the diarrhea to resolve after stopping the pain pills. The amount of time you gave for the problem to resolve was not enough.
Sorry, I'm kind of bitter about how it seems like vets really go overboard with pain meds now a days when at where I work the dogs are up and playing and happily bouncing about within 2-3 hours after their surgery. It's not some horribly blood surgery that requires weeks of pain meds like some places make it seem unless there is some sort of special reason for it, and the vet should have made that clear at the time you picked her up. And usually the meds they go home on make them feel worse than when they left. I mean even my cat who had open heart surgery I didn't give him more than 1 day of pain meds because they made him feel like crap and as soon as it wore off he was a happy little man again.
I would still give your vet a call first thing, but if you were a client that called where I worked, this is what I would tell you to do until the veterinarian who did the surgery was contacted. It's all up to you though.

I thought the Metacam injection was the anesthetic? Kathryn your post and a few others is really worrying me now. My kitty seems fine, she's running around, playing with her toys, and does not seem to be in any distress from what I can tell. Why would a good real known vet give her something that would be harmful to an animal? The vet hospital I took her to get spayed is **************** - they are very well respected which is why I payed a lot more money to have her spay done there. I could have had it done much cheaper but opted to go to someone who was not only recommended by 2 people I know but also has excellent reviews on websites. Why do so many people responding think she may die? Come on now this is just making me feel really scared now.

How old is your kitten AM?
Metacam is actually a pain med. Not an anesthetic. The other medication I have not heard of although I did just do a check. Here is a site with info about it...
http://www.drugs.com/vet/tolfedine-6...blets-can.html There is one line in it that I find a little concerning but you can judge for yourself and speak to your vet.
There are conflicting views as to whether or not cats need/should have pain meds after spay surgery. Personally I have had over 60 cats s/n in the last two and a half years and none have had pain meds. Part of that is because I work through a low cost s/n rescue which does not supply pain meds as part of their service. Part of that is their belief that cats actually do better without pain meds because the ensuing pain from the spay reminds them they should not be as active as they normally would be. With pain meds they would not feel the pain and would continue to play vigorously. You are/should be trying to keep kitty as quiet as possible after any surgery to help aid healing. I know that is very difficult with cats.
I am going to PM Dr Lee for you. He is our volunteer vet. Maybe he will answer before you get a chance to talk to your vet. Hopefully he can help set your mind at ease.
My biggest concern with your kitty is the diarrhea. Even if there is a lot of broth in her food it is still ok to add extra water for dehydration. Diarrhea in a cat can be life threatening. Notice I said can be. It does not necessarily mean it will be. Sounds like your girl is doing ok at this point. Let's wait to see what Dr Lee and/or your vet say.

I'm sorry, I'm not at all trying to scare you. You are just NEVER supposed to give NSAIDS to an animal that is having any sort of GI symptoms, especially with cats because it can kill them in a matter of a day or two. I mean you really need to follow up with your vet, but I just know from experience that post-op pain meds that are sent home with patients often cause more harm than good This applies for spays and neuters.. for other types of surgeries it's a different story I don't need to get into right now.
I mean, could you imagine being sick to your stomach and going and taking a big ol' ibuprofen? You'd probably feel like crap too!
Metacam is not a sedative, it is an NSAID that the use of in cats is highly controversial and that is why the oral version (which your kitty is not taking luckily) has a new black box warning on it strictly prohibiting it for use in cats.
Let's put it this way-
The one vet I usually work with keeps pain meds to a minimum and instead relies on minimally invasive procedures and does the surgeries as quickly as safely possible. These animals do AMAZING and are happy and healthy, usually feeling like nothing happened at the end of the day and by the next day they don't remember a thing.
Another vet I used to work with insisted on loading animals up with (incorrect) doses of pain meds for an extreme amount of time. This vet's surgeries were more invasive and lasted longer. These animals awoke SCREAMING in pain, often to the point I was sooo uncomfortable I had to leave the room. They would scream and scream and he would just assure us that the pain meds were "doing their job". These animals would often get quite sickly with GI problems. We've had atleast 1 that died of Acute Renal Failure 2 weeks after being spayed and receiving 4 days of Metacam.
Now if you had a choice, would you prefer to have a minimally invasive procedure that made you a bit uncomfortable for a few hours with no pain meds, or be cut up and sent home on pain meds that made you wanna barf your brains out?
I'm sure the hospital you went to would not purposely try and do something to harm your kitty! I am just speaking in general out of experience. I am just saying that kittens can easily die from diarrhea and in your post-op instructions you should have been given instructions to discontinue medications if diarrhea or vomiting occurs and probably even an emergency phone line to be able to call. I know for all of our meds, NSAIDS or not, this is one of the main warning we tell people. And for the shelter we have a 24 hour emergency cell phone line so that we can be reached all the times for situations like yours Things are done differently in other places though, so while this is routine where I am I cannot speak for everyone where you are.
The cloudiness of her eyes has me worried as well. They may not have applied eye lubricant during her surgery which is not good. Cat's don't usually close their eyes during surgery depending on the anesthesia used, so we put in artificial tears to keep their eyes moist. It's even on the anesthesia instructions to do so as damage to the eye can occur if you don't. I'm not saying that's what happened, but it's a possibility, so that is something I would have checked out as well. The pupil dilation things you are describing do not sound normal this many days post op. Usually by 5-10 hours post surgery the pupils should be returned to normal. I know that if I saw a cat the day after surgery and it's eyes were still dilated or looked funny I would be bringing that cat to see the vet ASAP.

Hi 14+kitties,
Thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it. My kitty is just 5 and 1/2 months old. The receipt does not show how many mgs the dosage was but I've now done a bit of research on Medacam and in Canada the dosage should not exceed 0.2mgs. I can't imagine a cat having reactions to the Medacam after this long - her spay was on Thursday and from what I've read, this would have been injected before the operation but I don't know for sure if she could still have a reaction. Also, she was given IV fluids which I've read is good when givin the Medacam. After reading up on all this and seeing the "cautions" with this type of drug, I do wonder now why my vet would not have given her something else - I am angry now. Too bad I did not ask beforehand what they were going to give her. I just trusted that they would use the safest drugs. As I mentioned before, they are from what I hear a really good vet hospital. I am going to have to find out if even with the 1 dosage of the Medacam if there could be any liver/kidney damage later on. I'm worried now I tried so hard researching vet hospitals, talking with people I knew, looking up reviews on vet's etc...before I decided where to have her spay done. I even cancelled a spay at another vet hosptial because I didn't feel it was good enough for my kitty. I stressed over the spay for weeks - my friends all thought I was nuts because they all said it's such a routine procedure but I was still scared to death - it's still major surgery as far as I'm concerned and she's my baby girl. If you can find anything else out from Dr. Lee, I would be really grateful as I probably won't be able to hear from the vet until later tomorrow.
Thank you.
Dr Lee will answer in this thread when he gets the message. You can "talk" directly to him.
5.5 months is a sweet age. So full of mischief. I have 6 that just turned 6 months today. They will be going in to get fixed as soon as I can get a Sunday off and schedule their s/n. Then they go up for adoption. They are a very busy bunch.
Hang in there. I know how we worry about our babies.

Just an update on my kitten...She's doing great no more diarrhea and her eyes look fine. The vet called me and said she was most likely having diarrhea due to all the stress she's been through.
Thanks everyone for all your help and advise.
Wonderful news!!! I am so sorry Dr Lee didn't get to you. He must be very very busy. But so good to hear kitty is doing well. Her incision must be almost healed now and she will be back to her silliness. So now it's pic time please.

Kitty is not out of the woods yet as her diarrhea has returned and she has been vomiting now after she eats. She was fine from last Tuesday up until Thursday evening - no vomiting and solid poops. Then on Friday morning when I fed her (fish style food) she gobbled it down really quickly and then 10 minutes later threw it up - this is the first time she's done this. I gave her some other food (pate kind) just a little because I felt bad she had thrown up the other food I gave her and she did not throw it up. Then in the early evening she threw up her food again and also on Saturday and today. She's been drinking a lot of water as I've been checking this constantly.
I noticed that since the spay she has quite the appetite now and eats her food really fast - all in one sitting which she never did before as she would usually save a little bit for later. I wonder if this is causing the vomiting - she gobbles her food down and then 10 minutes later she's throwing it up. The diarrhea started on Saturday morning and has lasted through the weekend.
I spoke to the vet last Monday after noticing the diarrhea after her spay (all last weekend) but he told me that it would not be caused by the medications she received during the spay and most likely was caused by stress after being spayed. He did say that if I wanted to bring her in to have her looked at he would be happy to check her out but he said it would be good to bring in a poo sample to have checked. I am taking her in tomorrow but I don't know how the heck I'm going to get a poo sample when she has diarrhea?
She is not showing any signs of being in any distress from what I can tell. She's been playing all weekend and being her rambunctious self (she's a kitten after all lol) but it's now a real concern for me. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem after there kitten/cat was spayed.
Bringing in a poop sample is probably a good idea. Some medications you should ask about are Albon and Metronidazole.
What brand of food are you feeding? At this point it's a good chance that the stress of the spay and the medications just really messed up her stomach, but if you are feeding store brand foods they are not going to help. That would be like if you were really sick with a stomach flu then decided to continuously eat fast food, you'd probably feel really yucky too.
Depending on what you are feeding, you may need to try a different food that will be easier on the stomach. There are some holistic pro-biotics that might be able to help, as well as adding some pumpkin to the diet. But if your kitty has something like giardia or coccidia then it's possible the surgery threw that into full effect and that's what is making her sick.
My cat is smarter than your honor student.

I've noticed that when cats eat their meal too fast, sometimes they do throw up afterwards. You can slow down her earting by smearing it on a plate so that she has to lick it off. This should prevent her from gobbling it down and swallowing air in the process. Hope this helps.

As the year began, advocates for immigration reform might have thought legislation was right around the corner.
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives were talking about principles for immigration reform, and President Barack Obama said in the State of the Union address that he was making it a priority this year. The Senate passed an immigration reform bill in June 2013. Groups as disparate as the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce agree that the country's immigration policy is in a shambles and needs an overhaul.
A few weeks later, the goal of comprehensive immigration reform seems as far away as ever. Asked what it would take to get a reform bill passed this year that would be acceptable to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Kevin Appleby, director of migration policy and public affairs for the conference, said, "How about a miracle?"
The problem is not that a majority of congressional representatives are against reforming immigration policy and providing some kind of path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants who are currently in the country, Appleby said. The problem is that an influential and vocal minority is against it, and their opposition is enough to throw sand in the works of a divided political situation where the two sides do not seem to want to work together.
Appleby, added, though, that the situation is "not as bleak as it looks."
"The fundamental trends are in the direction of reform," he told Our Sunday Visitor. "If we put this on the floor of the House right now, it would pass, and it would pass with some Republican votes."But Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, does not want to call it for a vote until there is a bill most Republicans support up for consideration. In early February, Boehner said chances were slim that a bill would make it out of Congress this year, with one obstacle being Republican distrust that Obama would enforce whatever law a Republican-controlled Congress passed.
Other Republican congressmen who have expressed at least theoretical support for immigration reform including Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have said the only reform bills they would support would put "security first." Even Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Feb. 9 that passing immigration reform would be good for the Republican Party nationally, "but when you take it district by district, it's hard to get a majority of Republicans to sign onto it."
A bill that would win Republican support might not pass muster with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, who have been in the forefront of advocacy for immigration reform since 2005, when they issued "Strangers No Longer," a joint pastoral letter with the Mexican bishops' conference. In the USCCB's most recent attempt to call attention to the plight of immigrants, members of the Committee on Migration and Refugee Services plan to gather in Arizona on March 31-April 1 to tour the U.S.-Mexico border and offer a Mass in memory of the nearly 6,000 migrants who have died trying to cross into the United States.
Polls show a majority of Americans favor creating "a pathway to citizenship" for undocumented residents, although the GOP is more likely than Democrats to say securing the border is a priority.
But the USCCB would not support a bill that would prevent undocumented immigrants from achieving legally protected status for years while various "enforcement targets" aimed at eliminating illegal immigration are achieved, or a bill that would make it impossible for people who are in the country without documents to ever become citizens, essentially condemning them to permanent second-class status, Appleby said. The conference also objects to a proposal that would call on state and local law enforcement authorities to enforce federal immigration law because it could criminalize nonprofits, including Catholic agencies, that provide human services such as emergency food supplies to undocumented immigrants.
Indeed, Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, M.Sp.S., auxiliary bishop of Seattle and chairman of the migration committee, commented Jan. 29 on the House Republican principles for immigration reform that, while encouraged reform was on the House Republicans' agenda, the bishops were concerned about some of the principles, particularly one that would confer legal status, and not a path to citizenship, to the undocumented in the country.
Catholics who want to influence their representatives on immigration reform should engage in good old-fashioned politics by contacting their legislators, Appleby said. Because while Americans might tell pollsters they are in favor of immigration reform, "the challenge has been getting people to pick up the phone or write a letter. It's not as clear to many people how it affects them directly as it is with taxes or health care reform."
The only way it would be clear is if the United States had to function without its immigrants for a while, Appleby said, although people sometimes change their minds when they get to know undocumented immigrants personally.
Elena Segura, director of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Office of Immigrant Affairs and Immigration Education, said something like that happened with Dennis Hastert, a former Republican Speaker of the House from the western suburbs of Chicago.
In 2006, when immigration reform advocates from the Chicago area collected 200,000 postcards in opposition to an anti-illegal immigration bill, Segura was with a group that traveled to Washington to present them. At the time, she said, Hastert, a Catholic, was totally opposed to immigration reform. Now, he is an advocate for change.
"They are part of our neighborhoods, they go to our churches, their kids go to our schools, they work in our factories, they mow the grass, they dig trees, they wash dishes, they make beds in motels — I mean, they're productive people," Hastert said, according to the Chicago Tribune. "And our economy really couldn't operate without that group. ... Unless those people can have some legitimacy, they can never move forward."
Segura called Hastert "a Paul of our time" in light of his conversion on the immigration issue, which she attributed to the prayers sent in his direction and his opportunity to meet undocumented immigrants. "I believe we should not just pray for votes, we should pray for the change of hearts," Segura said. "That is salvation for both sides."
Segura has not lost faith that immigration reform will become reality.
"We believe in a God who is always with the people who are suffering," she said. "Sometimes pilgrimages are short, and sometimes pilgrimages are long, and this is a long pilgrimage for the undocumented community."
