Linda Mahoney ID 44420 I have been going to the Chester Animal Clinic since 2007,they have all ways been the best for my pets. When we moved here from Texas my West Highland Terrier had diabetes and was blind. They took great care of Whittaker for two years, he lived to be 15 years and ten days, due to the great care he got at the clinic. We have a new West Highland Terrier and he loves going to the clinic, because Doctor Taylor D. Lyne and the girls at the front desk are so good to him. The clinic is worth paying a little more for a great doctor if you really love your pets. Everyone in the clinic is great with pets large and small. They are the best and Reilly and I, love them all !!!!
8074/I have been brining my elderly beagle to this clinic for several months for gland issues. The staff is very attentive when I need an appointment because it's usually last minute. The vet techs are very helpful with the issue and my dog loves seeing them each month. The prices are fair for this service. Front desk staff is pleasant.
This is by far the best clinic and boarding spot in the Chester area. My dogs have always been well cared for and excited to visit with Dr Lyne and staff. We will see you guys soon for a dental...
Client ID # 5471
Chester Animal Clinic is amazing! Ever since I first contacted them they have been friendly and helpful. Both vets I have seen there are knowledgeable and kind. You can tell the whole staff loves animals! :-) My dog is always treated well and they take great care of him. I also love that there is a boarding kennel connected to the clinic and they have access to Lestat's shot records so I can board him at any time without problems. The prices are not bad either and I recommend every one taking their pets here! :-)

8110: Greetings, I'm Randy Wilson and I was very impressed with the level of services provided at Chester Animal Clinic. The VET's appeared knowledgeable on my specific breed of dogs, and was very invested in seeing that I was comfortable with there services and follow through. They made reasonable recommendations on how I can be a more effective dog parent. The customer service with Jessica at the front desk was exceptional. They provide you reminders of your appointment and follow through in making sure you are satisfied. It didn't hurt that they were an attractive group of professionals as well. I will definitely continue to send my dogs to this clinic.

In response to DebnPat D.:
Making the decision to put your put pet to sleep can be one of the most difficult and emotional ones to make. Everyone on our staff are pet owners and at one point or another have had to make that hard choice. And honestly, it can be very difficult for our staff to make sure we get all the information from a client when their upset but we try to get this information ahead of time so we can make the process as easy possible … it's never easy though. This client called on a cell phone with poor reception so our receptionist was not able to understand everything that this client was trying to say. After reading this comment I was disappointed that we had communicated so poorly to this family on how we handle euthanasia appointments and services. We do give clients options as every family handles this circumstance differently. Some families have been agonizing over this decision for quite some time and are just emotionally spent, some have young children that wouldn't understand, some just don't want to be present (physically or emotionally). If owners choose not to be present, for whatever reason, we take the pet immediately back to our treatment area and do the services at that time. If families decide they want to be present before, during, and after we do need to make an appointment for them so we can ensure an exam room is available for them as soon as they walk in the door. The staff unfortunately stumbled when trying to explain about making an appointment. For those that are present they often need to coordinate with other family members, friends, as well as school and work schedules so we do ask when would they like to come in, again, we're trying to work with their schedule and needs. I'm sorry that this family didn't feel they were treated compassionately but I know that all of our staff has cried with clients, hugged clients, held their hands and even stayed with them if no one else could be there with them. We do have a compassionate group of folks, unfortunately this client didn't see it.
From the way this comment is written it is evident that emotions were running high and they were very sensitive. I feel terrible that they had this experience with us.
I do, however, greatly appreciate the feedback so we can take pause and learn from this experience. I have already had a staff meeting, once we found this comment, on how to properly walk a client through the questions that need to be discussed.
We've been serving our surrounding area for over 45 years. We do try to be available when clients need us that's why our doctors hours and hours of operation are longer than most in the area. Our doctors do have two hours in the middle of the day, one for lunch and the second to review their medical cases for the morning as well as any diagnostic analysis that had come in during the morning and early afternoon so they can make definitive diagnosis, call clients with a treatment plan, approve prescription refills, return client calls, etc.
We also offer cremation services to all of our clients as well as send them card that includes their pet's pawprint and a tuft of their hair tied with a ribbon. We've received many "thank you" cards and emails from clients through the years that have appreciated not only our compassion but the care we showed their pet during their lifetime.
Again, we feel badly that this client did not feel well served over the phone but glad they were able to find someone that better met their needs.
My beloved Teddy has been a happy and healthy patient of Chester Animal Clinic for the past 6 years. Dr. Lyne and his staff are the quintessential example of quality and loving veterinarian practice. The service begins even before I make a phone call – the clinic sends reminder postcards which includes offers for "pet portals," which allows clients to keep up-to-date on needed services via the internet. Appointments are easy to schedule. I find it particularly special that Dr. Lyne, the owner and lead Veterinarian works the evening and weekend shifts. I know of very few doctors and owners who cover these hours. In fact, Dr. Lyne called me this morning (Saturday) to check up on Teddy, and to give me an update on his blood work results. I know Dr. Lyne cares about Teddy, and that comforts me and secures my trust.
The positive experience continues when I take Teddy in for a visit and I am greeted by the Vet tech. They often recognize Teddy by name, and greet him with him hugs and rubs. We never have to wait long for the exam to begin. The techs always ask about my concerns, and read his history to make sure previous issues have not resurfaced. The Vets conduct a comprehensive exam, and respectfully share their findings. They spend a great deal of time explaining procedures and medicines so I full understanding of what I need to do and can expect. The techs and/or Vets call the next day to follow up with me and check up on Teddy. From beginning to end, Chester Animal Clinic offers a reassuring, positive service experience.
They even offer laser surgery, which allows for non-invasive removals of tumors. Teddy had a benign (thank God) growth removed using this type of surgery. I was able to pick him up the same day, the healing process was simple, and he has no visible scars.
I did have a concern with a comment made by a vet tech about Teddy. She had told me that he still looks good considering his age. (He was 7 at the time) Granted, I am hypersensitive because he is my baby, and I know the tech was really trying to give him a compliment. But I felt bothered enough to talk with Dr. Lyne about the situation. He validated my concern, and agreed that the tech was not sensitive to my feelings. Employees will say the wrong thing sometimes; as long as the leader can correct the situation and put the client at ease, it is a positive in my book.
With Chester Animal Clinic, I know I am a respected and valuable client, and Teddy is in the best care. I have recommended Dr. Lyne and Chester Animal Clinic to my neighbors, co-workers, and am proud to do so to anyone looking for a comprehensive and loving Veterinarian.
OMG ! I am visiting in the area and have a familly cat with terminal cancer. We travel for business and stopped in Chester to visit family. When our Cat's condition unexpectedly took a rapid decline we knew it was time to do the final kindness and let him rest in peace. Chester Vet Clinic was the closest so we called.
The girl was so rude and uncaring - didn't listen when I cried and told her we needed to bring him in for euthanization - she asked stupid questions like "what kind of dog is he" and "what day is good for you" ! Excuse me???? I told you my cat is dying with cancer, took a sudden downturn and we need to have him put to sleep and you want to know "what day" is GOOD for us? Then she said the cost varies - if we want to be with him it is more and if we want to take the remains with us or leave them or cremate him. We told her that we couldn't do that to him, just drop him off to die, and she asked if we wanted to know what the price difference was to be with him! I cannot believe she was so insensitive and uncaring! Then she said we would HAVE to have an appointment because she doesn't have doctors there from noon to 3:30!
I see and agree with all of the previous comments! They are only there for the money, they do not care about animals- yours or anyone elses!!!
We got the name of another pet clinic/hospital with better coverage and the first thing the lady on the phone said was "I'm so sorry you are having to go thru this." She let us know we could set an appt for today and if we wanted to spend some time with him before we could come in the afternoon. They offer clay footprints and other memorial aids, as well as taking care of cremation, etc.. She was so caring and sympathetic!
NEVER GO TO CHESTER ANIMAL HOSPITAL ! AWFUL - if they talk to me this way i can just imagine how they treat animals who can't talk back!
Take your pet here only if you hate animals! no really, I found the whole place a bad experience, have been more than once, I wanted to give place a chance. All they care about is money I heard about a lady wanting to write a check for their service, and they shouted,we cannout let you leave withot paying! she was trying to pay,she had been there many times, they did not know her....
It's like a puppy mill except this is a clinic mill, just in an out and who cares?
My Pet is a part of my family, My pet and I were treated rudley. I was there to seek help for my animal, insead I got 2 seconds with Dr.Lyne who was vey rushed, another non-professioal lookiing girl came nd went over this huge bill!!! never again...
Where did this staff come from? even the girl in grooming acted like she hated her job. The Vet, runs in like he has no time, with this huge grin on is face, gives a little pet on the head, $400 later you never see him again his staff steps in to explain the procedures and cost. While they are feeding you pages of expensive information they are rude, demand payment, speak down to you, my dog hated that place, all of the staff were horrible..the nicest thing I heard was when the front girl answered the phone "Hello" I will never go back, I feel for all he money I spent I still do not feel confident with the care my pet received, so again I will take him to another VET, i'm sure they don't care, my pet and I were just in their way.

Twelve days after Santa arrives with presents, an unassuming threesome comes to offer their gifts to children, sparking a world of magic and imagination. This is the Reyes tradition we Latinos grew up with.
The Three Kings worship Baby Jesus It's been said that the longest Christmas celebration in the world is Navidad in Puerto Rico. Maybe it's because we, Boricuas, mix the American custom of beginning right after Thanksgiving with the traditional Christmas calendar, and then we continue with Las octavitas all through January. The season finally comes to a close on February 2nd when we celebrate La Candelaria, and burn the Christmas tree in a big bonfire. It's a non-stopping fiesta of grand proportions!
But as far as Puerto Rican children are concerned, the season is really about those 12 days between December 25th and Día de Reyes on January 6th (the same days the famous carol sings about). There's nothing like the excitement of waiting for Santa Clós to bring those highly anticipated presents on Christmas morning! It was so hard to fall asleep imagining how the big, jolly fellow, along with his toys and reindeer, would turn into an hormiguita (a little ant), and crawl under the front door (there are no chimneys in the Caribbean). But Christmas doesn't end there.
See how Christmas is celebrated in Latin America
Los Reyes are coming!
While Santa's visit is a culmination of every Latino child's wish, the arrival of Los Reyes Magos is just as cherished. According to tradition, there were three Wise Men who followed a star that led them to Baby Jesus. Once they found him, they presented him with gifts of gold, incense and myrrh. From then on, the Reyes come down from heaven every January 5th to leave presents under the Christmas tree. But to get the presents, you have to prepare.
While Santa gets cookies and milk, the Reyes get quite a different welcoming. In preparation, children fill empty shoe boxes with grass from the backyard--food for the Wise Men's camels, of course! The grass is left, along with some water, for the Reyes after their long journey. While Santa is known for bringing the bikes and nice dolls, Los Reyes usually bring smaller toys and more practical gifts, like socks and pencils. There was an earthiness to the Wise Men's unassuming presents that we all seemed to like growing up, and for some reason we felt we could better relate to them. Perhaps it's because they had Spanish names that seemed natural to us (Gaspar, Melchor and Baltasar), or that they came from places with palm trees. But, I think the fact that they'd personally seen the same Baby Jesus that lay placidly in our Nativity scene filled us with great amazement. Plus, we loved the idea of those hungry camels!

The purpose of student financial aid is to provide resources to students who otherwise would be unable to pursue a postsecondary education. The primary responsibility for meeting Community College costs lies with the student and his or her family.
To receive financial assistance all students must: be admitted to the Community College, be enrolled in a degree Program of Study, be in good academic standing, and be making satisfactory academic progress.
According to federal regulations, financial aid recipients must:
The Community College uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA on the Internet at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. If a student does not have Internet access, they may complete a paper FAFSA that may be obtained from either the Department of Education
Students, new and returning are strongly encouraged to submit initial or renewal FAFSA applications as soon as possible after January 1 of each year. Some types of financial aid have limited funding. Students whose FAFSA applications are delayed run an increased risk of receiving reduced awards. Only students who have applied for admission to Santiago Canyon Community College will be issued a financial aid award notice.
Aid for most federal funding is awarded based on financial need. The EFC is a measure a family's financial strength and indicates how much of a students' and students' families (for Dependent students) financial resources should be available to help pay for educational costs. The EFC is calculated from the information reported on the FAFSA and according to a formula established by law.
Family income and assets are considered in determining the EFC along with family size and number of family members attending a college or career school. The EFC can be found on the Student Aid Report that is based on information reported on the FAFSA. To determine financial need for federal student aid programs (except for an unsubsidized Stafford loan), the EFC is subtracted from the Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA is the total amount it will cost to go to school for a year. Costs include tuition and fees, housing, allowances for books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.
COA – EFC = Financial Need
Undergraduate students must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester to be considered full-time students and receive full financial aid benefits. Undergraduate students enrolled part-time may be eligible for a prorated portion of their financial aid. Some undergraduate programs require enrollment of at least six credits per semester.
Federal grants and other financial aid are used to meet financial need. A financial aid award letter will be provided upon receipt of a Student Aid Report. Any changes made to original FAFSA answers may result in a change in financial aid award amounts. If your financial aid record is selected for verification, any changes made during the verification process may also change financial aid award amounts.
Students who have received any Title IV aid from a prior school or are currently receiving Title IV aid at another institution while attending Santiago Canyon University must also notify the Office of Financial Aid, as this other source of funding may affect students' eligibility to receive maximum Title IV aid.
Santiago Canyon College is a part of the Rancho Santiago Community College District

Eid Greetings: Hugathon or Kissathon?

Eid Greetings: Hugathon or Kissathon?
by Yasir Birjas
During the Eid day, we get hugged and kissed more in an hour than others would in an entire lifetime. Eid day becomes a hug-athon day, and in some cultures, it's even a kiss-athon. You get hugs and kisses (on the cheek of course) from people whom you know and do not know. You get it from every Tom, Dick and Harry, or let me say from every Ahmad, Abdullah and FathaAllah.
Hugs and kisses, depending on the culture, come in different forms and formats. In some cultures, you hug three times by holding the person's upper arms while your chin almost relaxing on one of the shoulders and then swing your shoulders right, left and then right again each time faces come across as you switch from one side to the other. Sometimes this hug comes with a kiss on the shoulder. Some cultures add a nice innocent squeeze while folding the arms around the other persons' back. Sometimes the squeeze can be breathtaking, literally. In other cultures, one hug on one side is enough followed by a nice warm double hand shaking.
The Sudanese hug is fun - to save some time they just pat you on the opposite shoulder and then shake hands with you. With this kind of hug comes a long standing of "how are you, how's the family, are you ok, are you fine?" and on and on of the same line of greetings until someone gives up first. I love the way they do it. Many African hugs look similar to that one except that they pat and give a quick and light embrace, or a front shoulder to shoulder push.
Unlike men, women hug each other passionately. They even do the kissing part more than men do. They are more social, and for them it is a reflection of joy and happiness more than just a formal greeting. The kissing part for many of people, especially young ones, who grew up in the west, to only be polite I say, does not make any sense. Unfortunately, the cultural pressure nowadays made it even look awkward to watch men kissing each other on the cheek, let alone to kiss someone who is young, including a close family member. With high rates of inappropriate conduct around the world, including in Muslim societies, we do not blame people if they shrug their shoulders when they see it, or are approached with something like that. Here is a hint, if the person is not from the culture of kissing, then don't try it.
Some other cultures, such as in the southern belt of the Arabian Peninsula, they have a very different way of greeting. A nose bumping and sometimes nose kissing substitutes for the cheek kissing thing. You don't like it? You don't have to do it, you can just kiss the shoulder, it will do the job. Kissing the forehead or the hand is very common with the elders as a sign of respect; you should try it especially with your parents and grandparents. They will love it. In the Gulf culture, with the shaking of hands comes the custom of sticking cheek to cheek and the kissing will be in the air. Sometimes you stick the right cheeks first for once and then you move to the left cheek with three to four quick bumps, each comes with a kiss in the air but with a longer intermission before the last bump and then hands released.
Sticking cheeks together with a nice squeeze is common amongst women. They like to hold the forearms as they kiss, or they embrace with one shoulder by placing their arm over one shoulder from above. Much of the air kissing happens there with women as well, probably to avoid ruining their makeup art, or to avoid smearing others with their multi-colored lipsticks. Some aunties love the multiple super fast kisses on one cheek. Ask the younger ones, they hate it. For whatever reason it is done, they just express their emotions and feelings.
The stronger the squeeze, the stronger the relation. Just don't depend on that to gauge your meter of sensitivity with people. I'm sure after half an hour of cheek sticking and squeezing and after long time of constant smiling you get cheek muscle fatigue. You won't be able to keep up with smiling nor squeezing.
There are so many different forms of hugging and kissing during the Eid. If you attend the Eid day, you will observe tens of different patterns. I know they start genuine and passionate but after half an hour or so of hugging and kissing, they become mechanical, and you can tell people are running out or energy.
For someone who wears glasses, like me, hugging and kissing is a nightmare. They keep bumping into other people's noses, faces, head covers, hijabs and sometimes catch some of their hair. And talk about hugging or kissing someone else who is wearing glasses too, now that is a scene. Therefore, before the hug-athon starts I take my glasses off and keep them in my pocket, otherwise I will have to spend the rest of the day fixing it and cleaning it. And spending your Eid day doing just that, trust me, it's not fun.
Nevertheless, it is so beautiful to see the Muslims happy and joyful on the Eid day. It is so nice to watch everybody on the Musalla after Eid prayer exchanging hugs, kisses and handshaking with beautiful words of greetings and du'a. But what is it with hugging and kissing on Eid day anyways? Is this is the way to greet and congratulate one another for the Eid? Is there any standard way to do it? Do we know any specific Sunnah for greeting from the beloved Messenger of Allah,salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to follow on Eid day?
Greeting in general is a beautiful Sunnah that Islam requires it's followers to observe. Spreading salam or peace in Islam is a duty upon every single Muslim. And responding to the greeting is even obligatory. We know that from so many direct and indirect aspects of our religion.
1. As-Salam is the beautiful name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and one of His Almighty attributes.
2. When Adam was created, he was taught the greetings of salam by the angels. Since then it had become his way of greeting and the way of his offspring.
3. We send salam and blessings on our beloved Messenger whenever he is mentioned.
4. The greeting with salam, by the angels and other messengers of Allah, was mentioned in the Qur'an many times.
5. Laylatul Qar, the Night of Power, was praised with salam and peace.
6. Spreading salam to everyone is a great virtue, as mentioned in hadith Abdullah ibn Salam may Allah be pleased with him who narrated, the Messenger of Allah said: "O people! spread salam, and feed the needy and pray at night while people are asleep, you will enter Paradise in peace." (Tirmidhi). And in hadith Abu Hurayrah may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah said: "You shall not enter Paradise until you (truly) believe, and you will not (truly) believe until you love one an another. Shall I guide you to something if you do would make you so? Spread salam amongst yourselves." (Muslim).
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says: "When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things." (an-Nisaa' 4:86).
So what are the etiquettes we should follow for Eid greeting?
1. Start with salam (as-salamu alaykum) before anything else, if within a group, one salam is enough to everybody. If you were entering a room full of people then it's better to direct salam to three directions; right, left and front.
2. Try to be the first who starts with salam. Abu Umamah narrates the Messenger of Allah was once asked: "When two men meet, who should start with the salam greeting first?" Rasulullah replied: "The one whose more worthy with Allah." (Abu Dawood and Tirmidhi)
3. Hand shaking is the standard greeting. Al-Baraa' may Allah be pleased with him narrated, the Messenger of Allah said: "There is no occasion when two Muslims meet and shake hands, except that Allah forgives their sins before they part away." (Ibn Majah).
4. On regular basis, hugging and bowing down is not required, as matter of fact bowing down is not permissible to anyone but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Anas may Allah be pleased with him narrated; a man asked the Messenger of Allah, "If one of us meets his brother or his friend, should he bow down for him? He said "No". "Should he embrace him and kiss him?" the man asked. "No" The Messenger replied. The man then asked, "Should he then hold his arm and shake his hand?" He said, "Yes". (Tirmidhi)
5. When greeting people, we should do it with a cheerful face. Meeting people with cheerful face does not hurt your face muscles or your ego. Abu Dhar may Allah be pleased with him narrated, the Messenger of Allah said: "Do not disparage (underestimate) any good deed (no matter how small it is), even if that deed was to meet your brother with a cheerful face." (Muslim)
6. Hugging and kissing, in the way described earlier, on special occasions is acceptable. It is a cultural matter that shari'ah does not object to. It was reported that when Zaid ibn Haritha came back to Madeenah (from a journey), the Messenger of Allah stood up to greet him, he kissed him and embraced him. (Tirmidhi) And when Ja'far ibn Abi Talib the cousin of the Messenger of Allah came back for Abyssinia, after his long absence, the Messenger of Allah embraced him. (Abu Ya'la)
7. Verbal greeting with any permissible phrase, such as "Taqabal Allahu minna wa minkum" may Allah accept (the good deeds) from you and from us, is recommended. This was reported as the practice of the Sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them. Other phrases are also acceptable as long as prayers and invocations mentioned are halal, without phrases of shirk involved.
8. It is important here to mention that the Messenger of Allah salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam never shook hands with foreign women, women who are not mahram to him, let alone to hug them or kiss them. Foreign women are those who are not related to the person by blood relation or not of his unmarriageable kin. And the best example is the example of Muhammad salla Allahu alyhi wa sallam.
In conclusion, the Eid day is a day of celebration and praising the Lord subhanahu wa ta'ala. It is also a day of worship, and therefore we should not turn it into a day of disobedience. The festivity of the Eid does not mean the violation of the good deeds. The greetings on Eid day, are the manifestation of joy and happiness. Regardless of your cultural choice, when the Eid comes, get ready to join the hug-athon and kiss-athon. May Allah accept from us the best of our deeds, say Ameen.

My Guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji) has affected me by loving me, and therefore I love you. So this is a meditation. You attend with your mind to a point in the heart space in the middle of the chest and you will say "I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness." You were "I am ego" and now you're going to become the reality of your true self with a capital "S." As you sink into this practice you're going to start thinking about things like "I can do without this, this is crap" and that's the ego. When Maharaji said to me "I want you to love everybody" I said "I can't do it" which meant that my ego couldn't do it, and he just ignored it because he wanted to dance with my soul.
Keep repeating to yourself "I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness." Remember to mentally focus your attention in the middle of the chest. You are going to make loving awareness the pivot point of your consciousness. In the future you will know yourself as loving awareness- if somebody asks you your name of course you don't say "I am loving awareness" but you will say to yourself, while walking down the street or going into the marketplace, "I am loving awareness." Now take on that identity instead of the identity you had before. You shift your identity to "I am loving awareness." The awareness is not a thing, it's no objective thing. You can't point to awareness- you're aware of your eyes seeing, you're aware of your ears hearing, you're aware of your thoughts as they come out of your mind. So "this will never work" is a thought, and just label it as a thought. Label thoughts. This loving awareness is the witness of your incarnation.

Vehicle Acquisition and Disposal
Sound decisions come from good intelligence and weighing a number of requisite factors
Evaluating and pricing equipment to determine the true value is important before deciding to trade, wholesale, retail or auction, says CAFM. Consider the quantity and pricing of similar trucks currently in the marketplace. This will impact the value of your trades."
"Regardless of how a vehicle is disposed of, vehicle appearance and condition can pay big dividends by improving both its value and sales appeal," says Jim Gleason, a veteran commercial truck sales professional and equipment broker based in Micco, FL. "It is best to maintain a vehicle's appearance by taking good care of the vehicle with regular preventive maintenance and automotive hygiene throughout its use, rather than having to invest time and money into cleaning it up at replacement time.
"The visual appearance of a vehicle makes the most lasting impression," he gores on. "That old expression - 'eye appeal is buy appeal' - is true. Some buyers will overlook certain mechanical defects if they like the look of the vehicle."
Improving vehicle appearance can be as simple are cleaning out the interior; repairing ripped seats; removing stains from carpets and seats; making sure there are no missing knobs and buttons; removing stickers and decals; and repairing or replacing cracked windows and windshields, Gleason says.
The exterior should be washed and detailed, the engine compartment cleaned, tires should match and have ample tread depth and sound casings, and on sleeper tractors, the mattress should be replaced with a new one, adds Eddie Walker, a long-time used truck sales professional and owner of the Best Used Trucks used truck dealership in Fort Worth, TX.
Additionally, Walker and Gleason advise making all needed repairs so that any commercial vehicle can pass a U.S. DOT safety inspection, and having all service, maintenance and repair records for each vehicle. They also say fleets might consider vehicle adding warranties to equipment for sale as a way to increase appeal and value.
There are several providers that offer truck engine and powertrain warranties, including National Truck Protection, Premium 2000+ and American Truck Protection.
It is important to decide upon trade terms and conditions for vehicles that are to be traded or returned, says Marty Crawford, president of the Used Truck Association (UTA) and senior account manager for dealer sales development at Arrow Truck Sales, a used truck dealer with locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
"Many times the maintenance department is not told in what condition the trucks are to be traded or sold, and this slows the process and causes great confusion between the maintenance department and management, often placing the maintenance department in the middle without authority to correct the problem," he explains.
The UTA - an impartial organization comprised of used truck professionals and associated businesses committed to strengthening the used truck industry - has created a set of guidelines for industry-standard trade terms and conditions for establishing the condition of a used truck, as agreed to by both seller and buyer. Meant to reduce confusion in the marketplace, the guideline covers engines, drivetrains, brakes, tires, frame, cabs, sleepers and bodies.
Crawford suggests not having potential buyers or resellers inspect vehicles to be sold or traded-in trucks until they have been repaired, as most buyers or sellers won't pay for the vehicles until they are in "trade terms."
Companies often used their trades as partial payment for the new trucks, he says. If the trades are not ready, this can slow the delivery on the new trucks.
Don't overlook establishing when the buyer will remove the used vehicles, adds Crawford. Some buyers will leave vehicles on the company's lot until they are sold, which could be months later. "It is best to have a stated schedule for removal."
Fleet managers should carefully weigh the costs involved with "reconditioning" against the costs of a replacement unit, advises CAFM. Its definition of reconditioning is not repairing parts or systems that are defective, but rather replacing a set number of components and systems to bring the vehicle back to like-new standards. This may involve replacing some components that appear to be functioning perfectly or strictly performing cosmetic reconditioning.

Do the components and capabilities of an in-circuit tester justify the investment?
In-circuit test has always been a major purchase decision for manufacturers. System costs range from $100,000 for a basic configuration to more than half a million dollars for a full configuration, high-node-count system. Is it worth the investment?
Testhead module. The testhead module holds one of the most important parts of the ICT system, consisting of the following (Figures 2 and 3):
ICT pin card. The ICT hybrid pin card provides analog, digital and functional test capabilities. The split digital driver and receiver design controls efficient use of the resources, where it permits a single channel to drive a pin and receive on a separate pin. Each digital driver and receiver pin consists of programmable slew rate, voltage level, edge placement, shorts threshold, clock generation, event triggering and switchable pull-up or pull-down capabilities. These permit various testing options, from simple to complex devices and circuitry on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBs).

Click Image To Visit SiteI know you are searching or you wouldn't be here reading this. I know you are sick and tired of settling for a 'Less Than' Life. I know you are struggling and can't see a clear way out.
How long have you struggled? How many years have you settled for less than you desire? How many dreams have you given up on and ignored because they were 'Just Dreams'?
I know your frustration, I know your fear — I've been there and was living a mediocre life that seemed to just happen to me until I made the decision to live my life on purpose and advance to the life I REALLY wanted – 1 step at a time.
Here's my story — in early 2002 I had somehow gone from the spotlight of Broadway to walking dogs in New York City and making less than $300 a week. I had lost all of my motivation, inspiration and vision, was living off my credit cards and woke up every night at about 3 am in a state of panic about how I was going to be able to keep living this way without drowning.
In August of that year I made the devastating decision to become an adult and settle for less than what I always dreamed of. I decided to grow up and pushed any thoughts of going back to performing away. I took immediate action and charged $10,000 on my credit card to work with a well known 'Guru' and get my own online coaching business started.
Unfortunately this turned out to be one of the 'Gurus' that didn't have my best interests at heart and only cared about getting my credit card number. I was now $10,000 further in debt with an online business that was sucking money out of my wallet every month. I was still only making $300 a week, my relationships were suffering and I missed being an entertainer.
And then the breaking point came — one night I sat in my apartment, feeling alone and helpless. For the first time in my life I believed there was no way out. I felt like I was being sucked under and that everything I had hoped for was vanishing forever.
And then I heard a voice yelling from underneath all the pain and sorrow and self pity — it was my voice and it said, "It doesn't have to be like this! You don't have to settle, there is always a way!"
And then I did the strangest thing. I sent an email (it was almost midnight) to a personal development author and coach who I knew lived in NYC. The email said something to the effect of:
I know you probably get thousands of emails like this every day and there is no way for you to know that I'm serious and not looking for you to fix my problems, but I am in serious debt and need some ideas so that I can turn this around fast — this isn't just about money — this is about me not giving up on the idea that my life can be amazing. If you have any ideas let me know.
Imagine how surprised I was when 1 minute later an email came in that said, "What's your number? I'll call you right now."
He called and asked me if I'd ever done sales. I hadn't, I had only coached, but I told him I was open to trying anything. Long story short, within 2 months we were in an office with me running his sales team and coaching program. We did over $1 million that… Read more…

Adult contemporary music
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014)
Adult contemporary music (AC) is a broad style of popular music, ranging from 1950s and 1960s vocal music[1] to ballads with a varying degree of rock influence.[2] The term is also used to describe a radio format which plays such music.
Adult-contemporary radio plays music other than hip hop, heavy metal, hard rock, teen pop music and rhythm-heavy dance tracks, genres less popular among the target demographic of these radio stations. Radio stations playing this format generally targets the 18–54 age group, the demographic which has received the most attention from advertisers since the 1960s.[3]
Adult contemporary music has spawned a number of sub-formats: hot AC, soft (or "lite") AC, modern AC, urban adult contemporary, rhythmic adult contemporary, smooth jazz and Christian AC (softer contemporary Christian music). Some radio stations play hot AC, others play only soft AC and others play a variety of sub-genres. It is not considered a specific music genre, since it includes music from a number of different genres.[citation needed]
According to AllMusic, the three most successful adult contemporary artists on the Billboard charts are Barbra Streisand, Elton John and Neil Diamond.[4]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014)
Many radio stations played top-40 hits, regardless of genre, until the mid-1970s (when they began to target particular demographic groups).[citation needed] Specialized radio stations then played specific musical genres.
When rock and roll became popular during the mid-1950s, conservative radio stations wanted to play non-rock hits; these stations included adult standards and big band titles to appeal to listeners who had grown up with those songs. This format was known as middle-of-the-road (MOR), played on WJR in Detroit, WGN and WBBM in Chicago, KGO in San Francisco, WNEW in New York, and WCCO in Minneapolis.[citation needed] Billboard magazine first published an adult-contemporary music chart in 1961, although it did not use the name "Adult Contemporary" until 1979.
While most popular MOR stations at the time were on AM, beautiful-music and classical stations began to move to FM because of its superior audio quality. Although most easy-listening music was instrumental, adult contemporary music attempt to create a similar ("lite") format with compatible tracks by popular artists.
Early examples of the adult-contemporary format included WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky and KDKA in Pittsburgh, former MOR stations which began playing fewer standards and more contemporary, non-hard-rock music. During the mid-1970s WHAS called its format "Good and Gold", including rock-and-roll oldies on its playlist and playing harder-rock songs on weekends. "Mellow rock" stations (such as WMGK in Philadelphia, WBBM-FM in Chicago, KNX-FM in Los Angeles and WCCO-FM in Minneapolis) emerged on FM, mixing adult-contemporary hits with album tracks by singer-songwriters such as James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King, Janis Ian, Paul Simon and Elton John.
VH1 began as an adult-contemporary version of MTV, appealing to viewers in their 30s and 40s. During the mid-1990s, it began playing videos by Hootie & The Blowfish, the Gin Blossoms, Alanis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge, the Spin Doctors, Amy Grant and Ace of Base.
Adult contemporary music has evolved; artists such as Barbra Streisand, the Carpenters, Barry Manilow, Captain & Tennille and Olivia Newton-John peaked in popularity in the 1970s, becoming less popular in the 1980s when artists whose music videos received heavy rotation on MTV, such as Phil Collins, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Tears for Fears and Whitney Houston, began appearing on the adult-contemporary charts. Phil Collins has been described by AllMusic as "one of the most successful pop and adult contemporary singers of the '80s and beyond."[5] VH1 has moved away from its adult-contemporary format with Destiny's Child, Eminem, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg. Since the mid 2000s, bands such as Wilco and Feist have pushed indie rock into the adult-contemporary format.[6]
Hot AC[edit]
Hot adult contemporary (or "hot AC") is a format in which radio stations play a variety of music from about the previous 30 years; classic hits predominate over newer songs, and the playlist varies by station. Modern adult contemporary, a variety of hot AC, includes modern rock music. In 1997, Mike Marino of KMXB in Las Vegas described the format as reaching "an audience that has outgrown the edgier hip-hop or alternative music but hasn't gotten old and sappy enough for the soft ACs."[7] The target audience was 25 to 39, and the format's artists included The Cranberries, Better Than Ezra, Alanis Morissette, Seal, The Wallflowers, Hootie & the Blowfish, Modern English, Counting Crows, No Doubt, Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler, Sarah McLachlan, Jewel and Sheryl Crow.[7] Unlike modern rock, with an 18–34 male target audience, modern adult contemporary appealed to women. Early modern AC stations were KTNP in Omaha, Nebraska, KBBT in Portland, Oregon and KPEK in Albuquerque.[8]
Soft AC[edit]
Known as "the acoustic equivalent to Prozac",[9] soft AC (an older-oriented version of AC) began during the late 1970s. Greater Media introduced its Magic format at WMGK in Philadelphia in 1975. WEEI-FM in Boston was the first station to use the term "soft rock", with advertising slogans such as "Fleetwood Mac...without the yack" and "Joni...without the baloney". The longest-running adult-contemporary format in the top ten U.S. markets is 103.7 Lite FM KVIL in Dallas-Fort Worth.[citation needed] KVIL went on the air in 1962, adopting its current format in 1969. In 1982, WMJX Magic 106.7 in Boston debuted with a soft adult-contemporary format and became the most popular music station in its market. The following year, the Lite format debuted in New York (WLTW) and Chicago (WLIT). KOST in Los Angeles, formerly a beautiful music station, switched to soft adult contemporary that year. Other names for the format include "warm", "sunny", "bee" (or "B") and EZ Rock, and it combines the middle-of-the-road, beautiful music, easy listening and soft rock formats. Some soft adult-contemporary stations capitalize on their appeal to office workers (females aged 25–54, a key advertiser demographic), calling themselves stations "everyone at work can agree on".[citation needed]
In 1995 Broadcast Programming introduced a syndicated format, AC45+. BP programmer and consultant Mike Bettelli said that adult contemporary stations had dropped Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, Barbra Streisand, Anne Murray and Barry Manilow, adding Take That and Bon Jovi. Adult standards and easy listening were for older listeners, and women aged 45–54 were overlooked. A sample hour of the format included Chicago, Olivia Newton-John, Elton John, Smokey Robinson, Bobby Darin, Christopher Cross, Vanessa L. Williams, Simon & Garfunkel, Manilow, Whitney Houston, Charlie Rich, Billy Joel, Maureen McGovern and Lionel Richie; songs by Frank Sinatra, Mariah Carey and Michael Bolton were also played.[10]
Urban AC[edit]
Urban adult contemporary music is geared to adult African-American audiences, playing R&B and soul music rather than hip-hop. Examples of urban AC stations include WBLS in New York, WHUR in Washington D.C., and KJLH in Los Angeles. Sirius XM Satellite Radio features the format on its Heart & Soul channel.
The rhythmic adult contemporary format focuses on uptempo disco, early hip-hop, R&B and dance music for African-American, Hispanic and white audiences. Stations include WKTU in New York, WISX in Philadelphia and KQMV in Seattle.
The rhythmic oldies format focuses on old-school R&B and soul hits from the 1960s to the 1990s, including Motown and disco. The format, also known as "jammin'" or "groovin'" oldies, was pioneered in 1997 by KCMG-FM ("Mega 100") in Los Angeles. Before its popularity faded, it included white artists such as ABBA and the Bee Gees. Rhythmic-oldies stations, targeting an African-American audience, include WRBO-FM in Memphis, Tennessee and WWWS-AM in Buffalo, New York.
A late-night quiet storm format blends urban and soft adult-contemporary music: ballads and slow jams, primarily by African-American and Latino artists. Keith Sweat hosts the Keith Sweat Hotel, a nightly syndicated quiet-storm program.
Christmas music[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (March 2014)
Some soft adult-contemporary stations play Christmas music in November and December. Although many are contemporary seasonal recordings by artists played in the usual format, vintage songs by older pop, MOR, and adult standards artists such as Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, the Carpenters, Percy Faith, Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams are also heard.
British broadcasters have a Christmas holiday schedule from the first Monday of the school holidays to New Year's Day. Christmas music on U.S. and Canadian radio stations typically begins the week before Thanksgiving Day, ending after Christmas or New Year's Day; a later end may coincide with a format change. Stations sometimes begin the holiday format earlier, in late October or early November, although such music outside the Christmas and holiday season has been unpopular with listeners. The roots of this tradition trace back to the beautiful music and easy listening stations of the 1960s and 1970s. These stations introduced Christmas music into their playlists around Thanksgiving, playing Christmas music exclusively for 36 or 48 hours around Christmas Day. An all-Christmas format beginning around Thanksgiving began at a few stations during the mid-1990s.

"Since the 60s, brands have been spending their advertising dollars on influencing consumers in the age 18 to 54 demographic segments. Today more and more advertisers are targeting those 55 and up. The reason is simple: advertising to older adults makes good business sense. Except for certain products designed specifically for older Americans, advertisers have virtually ignored older demographic segments in their advertising campaigns. Advertising sales have come to be based on two main segments, people aged 18 to 49 and those 25 to 54. "With a continued emphasis on these groups, companies are increasingly losing their connection with the 78 million Baby Boomers," Doug Anderson, SVP Research & Development for Nielsen, tells Marketing Daily. While Boomers spend 38.5% of CPG dollars, Nielsen estimates that only 5% of advertising dollars are currently targeted toward adults 35-64 years old (a slice that includes the latter half of Generation X as well as Boomers)."

"On Sunday night New York magazine published a piece by its music critic, Nitsuh Abebe, in which he says Wilco's leader, Jeff Tweedy, accurately predicted the general reaction to his group's recent album, The Whole Love, back in April: "I have no doubt that the second this record becomes available there's somebody sitting in a basement at their computer with the word 'meh' already typed up, waiting to post a review." Abebe concurs with that assessment and goes on to explain it as a result of two things: first, the maturation of a certain type of indie music. Of musicians like Wilco, Feist, and Radiohead he writes, "These acts, intentionally or not, have won; they've taken a lower-sales, lower-budget version of the type of trip Sting once took, from a post-punk upstart to an adult staple." The second reason he says very few people are up in arms about the evolution of a style of music (and musicians) once beloved for its outsider ethos and "authenticity" into something that has been characterized as, variously, "dad rock," "for sale next to the register at Starbucks" or, even, as Abebe does, "NPR Muzak," (not that we're sensitive or anything) is our current oversupply of alternatives. If we're not into it, he says, we no longer have to throw a fit, because we're already on to the next one. But some people will throw a fit, because some people like the feeling they get when they're in the middle of throwing a fit. Abebe's piece this week addresses these people, or, as he says, the "phenomenon" of people whose knee-jerk reaction to "adult contemporary" is to run screaming in the other direction — maybe even without listening first."

Superintendent of the Germantown School District Susan Borden is resigning from her position at the end of the school year.
Borden has accepted a position as superintendent of the DeForest Area School District in Madison. Her last day in Germantown is June 30, after which she will immediately begin her position with DeForest.
"It's just a wonderful opportunity personally and professionally," she said.
The School Board will approve her resignation at its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Monday and decide what route to take in finding a replacement.
Borden started her position in Germantown in 2010.
"I am just so tremendously proud of all of the successes we've had in the last three years. Academically, we are easily in the top 10 percent in the state and there are some umbers in the top 10 percent in the nation and we've really accelerated that," Borden said.

Decorated Moose Cookies
Last week, when I shared my decorated bear cookies several of you wanted to know more about Mr. Moose. You know that old saying, "Ask and you shall receive?" I'm pretty sure it wasn't referring to moose cookies, but we'll overlook that today. The first time around I used an older Wilton bear cutter to make these cookies. I liked the angle of the arms and the extra ear space the lower body allowed. However, since this cutter is no … [Read more...]

Panda Bear Cookies
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed an unfortunate lack of bear face cookie cutters on the market today? The ones I've found are either way too big or way too small. While I wait for someone to remedy this, I'm limited to using what I have. While I've been known to morph frog cutters into bear faces, this time around I wanted something a little "rounder".

If you want a curvier bird, a flip-flop works well too. Like many of my cookies {on a good week} my cardinals … [Read more...]
Decorated Rose Cookies
Believe it or not, I have never been a rose kind of girl. It's always bothered me that something so expensive dies in just a few days. That doesn't mean I'm not a romantic. I just prefer gifts that last a little longer or at least taste good. I really like these cookies because they were inspired by a paper bouquet my little boy made for me.

BUTLER: "The goal of the week is to basically educate the public of the importance of invasive weed detection and control efforts throughout Oregon." :08
audio file
BUTLER: "It's evolved into where we are working on 117 state listed noxious weeds statewide. Agriculture is where it all started and it is still a key component to protect the 5.1 billion dollar agricultural industry from invasive noxious weeds. But it goes beyond that as far as these have far reaching effects on all of our natural resources in Oregon." :21
"They can also not only be direct competitors with crops, but they can also be contaminants in seed. If they are in seed lots, prohibit it from being exported out of state or out of country." :14
"These new invader weeds, if you can find them early on, that is certainly what we are all striving for and before they become a significant problem. That's where the ag community and growers can be very active to let us know if they find new weeds." :15

Pisaq is a quechua word, this word has no translation to another language, because it doesn't qualified as an object or specific place.
Pisaq is situated at the east of the Sacred Valley of the Inkas. To this village you come by guided tour by bus. (There are tours that pass all the Sacred Valley like Pisaq, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. If you prefer, you can hire a taxi driver to take you to these locations).
Archeological Park of Pisaq
In top of a mountain, is were you can find the archaeological park of Pisaq, is composed by numerous squares in which the main one is know as the Intihuatana, admired because of the finest finished that all of the remains have. Also is of great importance the pre-Hispanic cemetery, the biggest one ever found in this part of the continent.
The Inca constructions of Pisaq are admired because of the huge platforms that surround the mountain were the remains are located, all of the structures are made in polish rock, perfectly align, all of them are surrounded by lookout points or atalayas.
Handmade Market of Pisaq
In the main square, underneath the huge trees that are there for ages, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sundays one can see the all of the pottery and art that bring for a diversity of bargains in the textiles and all of the craftsmanship the locals bring to sell.
On Sundays in the old temple there is a celebration in quechua and the attendance is by all of the locals and mayor of all the communities.
In Pisaq there is a great market place, where you can buy textiles and many other things. The market in Pisaq is bigger than that of Chinchero. Your problem probably will be that you pass Pisaq first. There are more things to choose between in Pisaq, but perhaps you can make better bargain at Chinchero.

I think Cousins should have started second half as well. I think also RGIII should have became passing QB last couple games of season and this playoff game, due simply to the fact that his Knee was damaged. With that said it was a good turn around season given we were suppose to finish 9-7 at best. Good job Shanahan on turning the year around.
Robert Griffin III reinjures knee on fumbled snap
Robert Griffin III's spectacular rookie season came to an end in gut-wrenching fashion on Sunday evening. Griffin's right knee, already fitted with a bulky brace due to an injury he suffered back in Week 14, bent awkwardly as he attempted to recover a fumbled snap against the Seahawks, leaving the Washington QB down in pain.
Eventually, Griffin gingerly stood up and limped into the tunnel behind the Redskins' bench. Kirk Cousins replaced him on the Redskins' next possession, though Griffin did return to the sideline.
Griffin initially hurt that knee when he took a huge hit during the Redskins' win over Baltimore — as Haloti Ngata made contact with him, Griffin's knee whipped forward and hyperextended.
RGIII tried to return to that game but left again after just four plays, then sat out Washington's win over Cleveland the next week, then returned to the lineup against Philadelphia.
Despite delivering victories in Weeks 16 and 17, Griffin seemed to be playing at less than 100 percent — a fact that was quite noticeable whenever he tried to run the football. He had no real trouble leading Washington down the field for an early touchdown Sunday, though, even with a little hitch in his step.
But the game's outlook began to change on Washington's second scoring drive. On a 1st-and-goal play, Griffin scrambled to his right and fired an incompletion to the end zone as he fell to the turf. He came up limping badly. Neither Griffin nor the Redskins' offense was able to recover after that, despite holding a 14-0 lead. Griffin's dire situation was highlighted on zone-read option in the fourth quarter — he broke outside, then almost had to drag his leg forward for eight yards. Cousins' first possession, after Seattle took a 24-14 lead courtesy of that fumbled Griffin snap, ended when he was hammered and threw an incomplete pass on 4th-and-14.
Mike Shanahan can expect some criticism for his decision to keep playing a clearly bothered RGIII, especially in the wake of a Sunday report that Dr. James Andrews never cleared Griffin to return to the Ravens game after his injury, despite Shanahan's insistence that he did.
Shannahan is not going to get fried for this. Like we say down here in the South, "HE GONE GET FROUD !" How could a seasoned head coach stand there and watch such a thing happen? Either he didn't understand the extent of RG III's injury or just too plain blind to care. As for the team doctor's assessment on the injury, and clearing Griffin to play, somebody is telling a lie. Either the good doctor or Coach Shannahan.
Mike Shanahan should be fired, and he should be out of football for good. He gambled for his own short term success and in the process he has jeopardized the future of one of the most promising young players the NFL has ever seen. Disgusting, really.
He didn't get hurt running a read option pistol offense. The ravens game he was hurt scrambling and today on the second drive again he hurt it scram billing. I guess qbs aren't supposed to scramble according to bbc. Pay a little more attention before you comment on an article hmmm...
Who could have thought that a QB can get hurt while running a read option pistol offense in NFL. Hmmm...
Shanahan should have benched RG3 in favor of cousins at the start of 2nd half. It was clear RG3 had damaged his injured knee and wasn't effective after the 14-0 lead and it wasn't as if Redskins didn't have a decent backup QB option. Skins may have won the game had cousins played in the 2nd half.
And I suppose a scrambling QB is not a big part of read option pistol offense. Let's see... RG3 had a concussion while scrambling, hurt his knee while scrambling - the same knee injury which wasn't fully healed and might have serious repercussions, but I'm sure none of it has anything to do with the read option pistol offense Redskins are employing. Hmmmm... interesting!
