Is there a way in VirtualBox to turn off the default routing functionality offered and have one of the VMs act as a router. Below is how my setup looks like.
I want to make the OpenBSD (VMrouter) to switch packets between the two subnets. I'm doin this to get an understanding of how this all works basically.
Networking mode for all VMs : Internal Network

VM1 VMrouter VM2
VM1 -> CentOS 10.0.1.10/24network
VM2 -> BT5.0 10.0.2.10/24network
VMrouter ->OpenBSD` acting as a gateway router with two VNICs one for each subnet.

My wife and I stayed for a month having travelled from Scotland. Everthing was perfect in the villa and the website description is accurate in every detail. The pool was wonderful.
We especially enjoyed Gaspiralla Island beaches with easy parking for beach access. Well worth the $6 toll to get to the island. Thanks again Joe for letting us rent your lovely villa
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week golfing vacation during November 2013 in sunny Rotonda. The house was well equipped and it was nice not having to purchase upgrade cutlery or even coathangers (as has been the case with other vrbo rentals) for our stay. Now that we're back in Canada's cold climate, we are particularly missing our daily swims in the delightful heated outdoor pool! Joe was very responsive to any of our needs and also returned the deposit cheque very promptly.
Thank you Joe for allowing us the use of your beautiful villa. We had a fabulous month. Weather was awesome we loved the area. It was so peaceful. The golf courses were amazing. So much to see and do and everything was so close. Would highly recommend this vacation home. The grapefruit tree in the backyard was an extra bonus. We loved the area so much we invested in our very own piece of paradise!
This was our first time renting property in Florida....we found our April stay here extremely enjoyable and everything we could have hoped for! We absolutely loved the very peaceful surroundings and were fascinated with all that nature right in the backyard. The grapefruit tree was an especially added bonus-could not get enough of this very delicious fruit. This home is perfectly situated in proximity to gulf beaches, shopping and numerous villages and towns, to say nothing of plenty of golf courses minutes away. The pool was wonderful and we appreciated the bikes on site for excercise. The owner, Joe is easily accessible and was prompt to reply to our few questions - he is genuinely concerned for his tenants!
My husband and I recently spent a month at this property. It is a well appointed, clean and equipped home with lots of amenities. Pool was clean and well maintained with lots of sun on the lanai. Lots of wild life in a very tranquil setting. Lots of restaurants and beaches nearby. I would recommend this property to 55+ and families with children, young and older. Home also equipped for small children. Owner very accommodating and easy to communicate with.
This was the first time we stayed at this house, the place is very clean and tastefully decorated, the grounds are beautiful, the pool was fantastic with its southern exposure, we had sun all day, palms also provide shade in the pool area.
The house comes complete with everything you will need for your stay and is located on a very quiet street, short drive to shopping and beaches.
Special thanks to Joe who welcomed us with a phone call the day we arrived, just making sure everything was to our liking.
Thanks so much Joe

A restaurant owner says a judge was wrong to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and is taking the case to Ontario's highest court.
George Foulidis sued Ford over comments he made to a the Toronto Sun when he was a city councillor, suggesting an untendered, 20-year leasing deal between Foulidis's company and the city was corrupt and that it "stinks to high heaven."
A judge dismissed the lawsuit in December 2012, ruling that Foulidis didn't prove the comments were directed at him or that they were defamatory.
In documents filed with Ontario's Appeal Court, Foulidis argues that the judge wrongly zeroed in on an additional comment Ford made, saying "I can't accuse anyone or I can't pinpoint it."
Foulidis says the overall tenor of Ford's comments is defamatory and his additional remark doesn't neutralize what Foulidis calls the false and damaging allegations.
The appeal is tentatively scheduled to be heard May 20 and Ford has not yet filed his responding documents.

I was beyond excited when I saw these! So I showed my supports and made the purchase. The colors on the shoes in person are very vivid. They look exactly like the picture and the quality of the shoe is no different then any other superstar. They fit great and I get compliments out and about with them. I bought the entire set and it's compliments everything well. ... read more
I absolutely love this shoe. The primeknit breaths like a sock, buts holds the foot as tights as I would expect from any other shoe. Also, the shoe looks awesome. Looks even better in person than the picture shoes. My only comment is that the shoe runs a little big. I would probably order 1/2 size down from normal. I usually wear 10.5, but ordered a 10 and it is perfect. ... read more
I really like the colour (electric green) and they are very comfortable to wear. I was worried about the cuffed hem but they actually look fine and the cuff is loose enough that it always falls around the ankle. ... read more
I was waiting for them one week and when i saw them i was really dissapointed about the size, i have 6 and they are quite small and narrow for a normal UK 6 and the quality it's questionable of leather . Looks ok in general but not worth it the price I paid for it. My friends ask me if they are not fake considering the quality. So overall I wouldn't buy them again from adidas. ... read more
Realy good quality pants.i have to send mine back though,as im usuallu size l in adidas pants but this one is vary slim fit and would not feel comfortable enough to do squads in than as they would pull down .recomend to go size up unless u have vary slim body.other than that its a good quality pants.been using adidas web site often and must say they provide great service and so easy to send stuff back if u are not happy .good comunication and service 10 out of 10.thank you for that;) ... read more
I needed something in between my summer canvas shoes and my winter leather shoes - thank you England, for all the rain =) - and these seemed perfect. The fit was really good for me and I loved the pattern. ... read more
I am really happy with my purchase, they are stylish and comfortable. I did buy half a size smaller than I normally would as fitting on the large size for me personally and they fit perfectly. Only downside daughter might pinch them! ... read more
Excellent trainer, comfortable, stylish and cool. Prompt delivery, especially like the tracking facility which is slightly different to other tracking facilities I've used. Delighted with my purchase. ... read more
I saw these online last month for Pride & being a member of the LGBTQ community, I thought this was awesome of Adidas to support us. I instantly fell in love. My color choice was perfect. The colors stand out with the all black. Haven't worn them yet. Saving them for White party here in Miami ... read more
I bought my boyfriend two pairs of these shoes in red and green and when he saw them in yellow he had to have them. So... Suffice it to say, he loves them and wears them almost every day, and when he's not wearing these he's wearing his other stylish and comfortable adidas shoes I got for him. ... read more
I usually wear a 10 but went with a 9.5 because that's all that was left and I figured the primeknit is stretchy enough but these shoes are too narrow to size down. Go true to size. The insole is nice on this shoe but the sole is like classic Superstars and pretty firm. If I got these in a 10 though I'd be very happy. Ended up returning them sadly. Quality is incredible however; 3M on the stripes, PK is super soft and it's an awesome twist on a timeless classic. ... read more
The Adidas Superstar II has a lot of very good points. However, some may think that they are a bit toned down in terms of style. Here's the advice: if you're looking for a good pair of casual shoes that goes best with your jeans, khakis, and shorts, these are going to be the best choice for you. ... read more
The thing that attracted me about them was the design i like funky looking shoes.it was love at first sight and i had to have them.actually thinking about purchasing the white ones as well.yesterday i was walking home from work and 2 people stopped on the way to ask me where i got them from!!!!turning heads ayyyyeeee ... read more
I absolutely love these shoes, bought them from the shop as my other shoes let the water in so needed some to wear straight away. Literally the comfiest shoes from the second I put them on. I have wide feet and they are perfect! Only thing I'm gutted about is that I didn't buy them sooner! ... read more

Just wanted to tell that until I installed WPSEO 1.4.7 today, I was happily managing meta descriptions with
add_filter('wpseo_metadesc' ....)
Now, in addition to that, I had to use
add_action('wpseo_head' ....
and echo the meta there
So, now I have two hooks: one for /shop/page/..., because Yoast doesn't want meta description on "paged", and another one - for the /shop/ itself, after the 1.4.7 upgrade.
My code is working OK now, but all this is quite ugly... I know that you guys already have a Yoast fix in
WC_Query::wpseo_metadesc(). I guess, there will be more like this now.
Otherwise - WooCommerce is great. Thank you!

Be careful what you wish for! I knew what I was getting into when I asked for my readers to send in their own feedback and potential GTRs, but the outpouring of responses was surprising nonetheless.
There's sort of an ego boost that comes with the territory when robbing one of your competitors blind, or pulling off so many sick trades you become "that guy" that people no longer want to trade with. I'll even throw in some of the more interesting questions I received so this week's column isn't just limited to a brag-fest. Since this week is about you, the reader, let's get to it and cover as many e-mails as possible!
We'll start it off with Jordan, who sold high on Brandon Jennings:
I traded Brandon Jennings and Chris Douglas-Roberts for Monta Ellis just after the Bucks-Grizzlies game where Jennings had 26 points. Since then, Jennings has averaged 14.2 ppg on .298 shooting and CDR has averaged 12 ppg on .377 shooting, while Ellis has averaged 35.2 ppg on .523 shooting.
The column that I wish I wrote was one talking about selling high on Brandon Jennings -- my money is still on Tyreke Evans to finish as the season's best rookie -- but allow me to use this e-mail to do a little bit of that here. While Jennings' recent shooting woes may kill any chance at getting what you once may have gotten for him, I find it hard to believe he can continue scoring 21-plus points while needing more than 19 shot attempts a game to do so. Jennings won't collapse, but his early season performance -- and subsequent regression -- is a reminder of how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day minutiae of fantasy basketball while losing perspective of the six-month grind that it truly happens to be.
Stepping off the soapbox a bit, I happen to love the trade. Monta Ellis is my boy, because it looked like, even with Stephen Jackson aboard, the Warriors would have no choice but to let Ellis hoist as many shots as he wanted. With Jackson out of the picture, the sky is the limit, and it is very nice to see Ellis harness more of his potential and start making it a point to get to the line (6.1 free throw attempts per game). Whether he gets 3-point range -- currently at 35.3 percent from beyond the arc -- or totally eschews that from his game, fantasy owners will benefit either in 3-pointers or field goal percentage, so there is almost zero downside. And since most leagues don't factor in turnovers, his biggest weakness happens to be negated.
Moving on, Anand talks about buying low on Amar'e Stoudemire and Jose Calderon:
I wanted another solid point guard so I traded Chris Bosh and Manu Ginobili for Amar'e and Calderon. I know Calderon hasn't had a great start in the dimes department and Stoudemire has been rebounding like a point guard, but what do you think, based on the fact that I have lots of dominant bigs already?
Anand already owned Al Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Elton Brand aside from Bosh, while his second-best point guard was Mo Williams, so the rationale is easy to understand. It takes a lot of courage, however, to trade Bosh's 24 and 12 for Stoudemire's 19 and 8. Considering what a surprise the Suns have been, what does it say that Amar'e is on pace for his first sub-20 scoring average since his days as a rookie? There is a very real chance that his days as a 25-point scorer are done, in which case his value hinges more on his rebounds and blocks, categories he's never been particularly strong in.
But the key really hinges on Ginobili versus Calderon, which definitely would have been a tempting risk to take prior to the season. Unfortunately, considering how explosive the Raptors' offense has been this year, it has to be that much more surprising that Calderon is barely averaging six assists when he was pushing nine per game last season. In other words, Calderon isn't as valuable to this well-oiled machine as many people assumed he would be. Ginobili's consistent output in 3-pointers, steals and free throw percentage makes it easier to tolerate his swings in value, as he rarely needs much playing time to make an impact. The idea had the clear makings of a rip-off, but I think the inclusion of Ginobili spoils things a bit.
Scott tries his hand at buying low on Calderon, too:
Hey Adam, I traded Luol Deng for Jose Calderon. I needed assists and had an abundance of points and rebounds. That said, I was still nervous about trading a surging player for a slumping one. What do you think?
This, my friends, is the jackpot. While I like Deng, his lack of versatility limits his upside considering his greatest contributions come in two plentiful categories. He's also not a dominant go-to scorer, so his proficiency is more in flux relative to his minutes and teammates. Right now, Deng is 47th on the Player Rater (sorted by averages) while Calderon is just 76th, but we're just one month into the season, so expect some regression to the mean. (Calderon finished 31st last season.) More importantly, it's a lot easier to replace swingman types than it is to replace a solid second point guard. There is also a lot to be said for the fact that Scott is not getting any of Calderon's disappointing production, and has already banked Deng's overachievement; chances are that in the next five months, they will be much closer to even, if not decidedly in Calderon's favor.
And to cap things off, we have an inquiry from Ronak about the biggest surprise of the year:
What's the real value of Marc Gasol? The best offer I have gotten for him is Ben Gordon. Is that good enough?
This is a topical question considering Gasol's recent string of single-digit point production. Has he produced at a high enough level for long enough to have significant trade value, or do most owners view this as the beginning of a regression? My best guess is that Gasol is for real. He gets to the line a ton for a big man, which is a strong sign, and provides all-around production considering his decent tallies in assists and steals. He might not be the top-20 threat he's currently ranked as, but should be a safe top-40 or so guy at the least. Ben Gordon, it's safe to say, is not in the same stratosphere. To hammer home last week's point, if an owner doesn't want to pay the going rate for a guy like Gasol (or Chris Kaman, another popular sell-high guy), feel no qualms about holding on to him for the duration of the season and reaping the rewards. If you can't acquire or deal a guy for your price, don't hesitate to walk away from the table.

All that came up on the screen was a basic version of my website - no login screen. I thought that the login area might be broken, so I tried to get into the admin area for my other website using the same direction (mywebsite.com/wp-admin/) and I was able to get into the login area.
What could be the problem with getting the login screen to come up for this particular website?

Winter Leagues 12/29 – One Tough Inning Sinks Claggett; Figueroa Wins
Checking in on Pirates' players and friends in Thursday's winter league action:
Tiburones de La Guaira 6, Bravos de Margarita 2
Anthony Claggett made the start for Los Bravos, and buzzed through the first four innings, allowing only a walk and a single in the top of the 1st. He retired the side in order for three innings, but got into trouble fast in the 5th. Back-to-back singles to begin the inning, and a wild pitch, put two runners into scoring position with no outs. A sacrifice fly plated one run, and another pair of singles brought in a second run. An intentional walk loaded the bases, and with two outs, Claggett was relieved. The new pitcher, Kristhiam Linares, hit the first two batters he faced with pitches, driving in two runs, and a wil...

Learning the ins and outs of cropping, resizing, aspect ration & resolution in Photoshop Elements below. If you can't see it, register for your free photography journey here.
Cropping, Resizing, Aspect Ratio and Resolution in Photoshop Elements. We've been talking about them a lot lately. Some (like me) might even say we've talked about them ad nauseam. But this is the last post, I promise.
If you want to read the detail and understand why you should do what you need to do, read these articles:
- Photoshop Elements – Cropping vs. Resizing
- Photoshop Elements – Aspect Ratio and Print Size
- Photoshop Elements – Resolution
If you want a short and sweet summary, I put it all together for you here:
- Cropping is for changing the composition or aspect ratio of an image.
- Resizing is for changing the resolution of an image or making it "weigh less."
- First off, keep in mind before you zoom in too close on your camera that you might need to crop your image in order to get the print size you want.
- You probably start with 4 x 6 images in your camera. You can print those as 2x3s, 4x6x, 8x12s, or 16x24s with no cropping necessary.
- Do you want a 5×5, 5×7 or 8×10? You will have to do some cropping. Use the crop tool to set the aspect ratio.
- Want to enlarge your image for print? Get the aspect ratio right first with the crop tool, then decide how much you can enlarge based on your pixels and resolution.
- Want to post the image on the internet? The aspect ratio doesn't need to change, but the "weight" does. You will need to resize to a resolution of 72 ppi, and a width of maybe 1000 pixels wide, depending on how you will use it. Make sure Resample is on in the Image Size dialog box.
- To change only the resolution of your image, use the Image Size dialog box (Image menu/Image Size/Resize) and turn off the Resample box.
- In the Image Size box, always keep Constrain Proportions on.
- Confused by all the Resample options? Just go with the ones Adobe recommends as "best for."
Ok, so do you understand all that now? Congratulations!
Now, what do you give your clients when you give them digital files? Do you send the same image in multiple aspect ratios? Do you send all images uncropped with an explanation? Or do you take requests from the client?
Unless there is a strong artistic reason to do otherwise, I send all images in their original aspect ratio to clients. And with the digital package, I send a quick explanation that some cropping may be required when they print certain sizes. And I always try to leave a little cropping room when I snap the picture.
What do you do when sending clients digital files? Something tells me there are better ideas out there. Post them on my Facebook page if you'd like to share. [/show_if]

Kara @ Just1Step Says :
Hey there!
Ok I am in a predicament. I upload all my photos to Picasa web albums to serve multiple purposes.
1) To use the photos for my blog (which would suggest a resolution of 72 ppi, max width of 800 pixels)
2) For my family to see pictures (which would again suggest a resolution of 72 ppi, max width of 800 pixels)
3) So my family can download and print photos as they wish (which would suggest a resolution of at least 240 ppi, min width of 1440 to print out a 4×6).
So now I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to upload two of each picture. I also don't want to bog down my blog. Any suggestions?
Kara @ Just1Step Says :
PS I loved your blog posts on the topic, thanks so much for providing them. 🙂
I just now found you…and am so grateful I did. I learned picnik is closing, a free photo editing website I have used to resize all my photos. Thank you so much for detailing how to do this is Photoshop Elements. It's just as easy BUT without someone {like you} explaining it, it can seem so foreign. So, THANK YOU for helping it make sense to me!
Melissa Harris Says :
In the post, you mentioned that you give clients the original aspect ratio with a quick explanation that they may need to crop to print. Would you share that quick explanation with us??
I understand it now (thanks to You) but not sure I could relay it to others.
So I want to change the aspect ratio of my photo WITHOUT CROPPING it. How do I do that?
I have taken classes and read books on this very topic but never quite "got it". I understood it but didn't fully understand all of the elements of ratio, cropping and resizing.After reading your posts and tutorials, I finally "got it". Thank you for helping me.

olmec valley last of three blocks
I'm in level 10 (olmec valley) and I try to push the last block out of the room that was full of water on to the pressure plate. But it isn't moving. I now it is possible, 'cause I did it before. Now I can't possition the block correctly in front of the opening. Is this a bug?
I'm stuck here for a few days now and it is starting to get irritating.
I had the same problem. I had to replay the level and then it worked. It must be just a bug. Have you downloaded and applied the patch?
Well, I replayed the level and this time I could push the block in the hole. Now I'm at the pyramids.

Avengers Leaves Tony Stark Traumatized For Iron Man 3
Marvel's Kevin Feige teases that Iron Man 3 spins directly out of the events of The Avengers, with Tony Stark changed by his experiences with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Marvel's Kevin Feige teases that Iron Man 3 spins directly out of the events of The Avengers, with Tony Stark changed by his experiences with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Marvel Studios has announced its delayed "Phase One" 10-disc Blu-ray collection will be released April 2, complete with a glimpse of "Phase Two," which begins in May with Iron Man 3.
The 17-second teaser for Shane Black's Iron Man 3 briefly shows the new suit in action, Gwenyth Paltrow in trouble and a first look at Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin and a new photo showcases Iron Patriot. The full trailer premieres Tuesday.
New photos from the Florida set of Iron Man 3 show the Extremis and Iron Patriot armors, as well as star Robert Downey Jr. as a carousing Tony Stark. Directed by Shane Black, the film opens May 3, 2013.
A symbol on the crew hats for Iron Man 3 suggesting the upcoming Marvel film will see the return of the Ten Rings, the terrorist organization the inadvertently inspired Tony Stark to build his armor in 2008's Iron Man.
Marvel and Disney have delayed the release of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One — Avengers Assembled" limited-edition box set following a trademark-infringement lawsuit over the packaging. The case is being redesigned for release next spring.
Disney and Marvel have released the first look at the package for "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One — Avengers Assembled," the much-teased 10-disc limited-edition Blu-ray collection arriving Sept. 25.
With plaudits being thrown in Andrew Garfield's direction for his performance as Peter Parker in Sony's rebooted The Amazing Spider-Man, you can't help but feel for Tobey Maguire, whose take on Parker seemed to be relatively popular during his tenure as Marvel's friendly box office blockbusting wall crawler from 2002-2007. But he's hardly the actor to suffer from rebootitis the most…
Marvel has debuted a preview trailer for its upcoming 10-disc limited-edition Blu-ray collection called "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One — Avengers Assembled." More details will be announced July 15.
The president of Disney Channels Worldwide has revealed there are discussions about developing an Iron Man animated series.
A new report asserts that the star-spangled battle armor recently photographed on the set of Iron Man 3 doesn't belong to Iron Patriot, but rather to War Machine.
Robert Downey Jr. apparently had a role in mind for Bill Murray in Marvel's Iron Man, but didn't know how to track down the famously inaccessible actor, who relies on a seldom-checked voice mailbox to field offers.

The simplest way of displaying a "details" table about any model, is to show a ModelFrom with all fields readonly or (selects) disabled.
Also, the labels are preferably translatable, not just capitalized names of the column tables in your models. So the constructor translates the field labels as well.

if isinstance(self.fields[f].widget, Select):

self.fields[f].widget.attrs['readonly'] = 'readonly'

Thanks, this is very useful. However, the readonly attribute does not work for inputs with type file, so I think that for files, there should be a new Widget, which displays the file.

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT: This thread hasn't been posted on for a while.
Help me please! Vomiting pregnant dog am freaking out :-((45 Posts)
57 days pregnant and has just thrown up, a very large amount each time, twice, about 10 minutes apart.
She did manage to get into the bin earlier and eat 2 bags of that horrid onion salad you get with Indian curries so may be a factor but im quite worried seeing as she is is due labour any day and i haven't the first clue about any of it.
What type of dog is the bitch and what was she mated with?
health of the dog
This thread is very scary.
The lack of knowledge by the OP is horrendous and anyone who wants to own a dog should be expected to learn the basics about dogs eg mating etc.
We all can fall on hard times but it costs nothing to learn how to protect and look after your animals and prevent situations like this.
I agree with Korma she may be giving the OP a hard time but the whole situation could be avoided. The OP is still making incorrect decisions for the dog yet feels that because of her situation she has no choice. It is not humane to make the dog suffer because of our problems.
The dog is ill because of the OP inability to cope.
Take the dog to a rescue, where she can have her puppies safely, where there will be 24/7 medical care and the puppies will be rehomed correctly and spayed.
I do have huge sympathy for the OP situation (there for the grace of god etc) but that does not stop her from making the correct decision now for the health of the .
We can help you find the correct rescue for your dog
This thread is ridiculous.
It is clear there has been very little thought or responsibility taken for the dogs situation so far, but it is also clear that OP is now aware that something has to be done right now.
OP I recommend you get to the library and borrow a copy of a book called 'The Book of the Bitch' by JM Evans and Kay White. Do it first thing tomorrow and read it cover to cover.
You need to make a clean and secure whelping area, to find lots of clean towels which you should cut up to receive each pup into. Buy some vet bed from eBay or similar which is easy to wash and dry quickly. Pups will be messy.
Read this and this.
Get on the phone tomorrow morning and take responsibility for what is going to happen; find a vet who will help you and get them on stand by for any problems.
Plan to get your bitch spayed. As soon as you possibly can. A accidental mating is dangerous, irresponsible and foolish. Add to that your current financial troubles which are only a couple of months after the mating, and it's clear that behaving responsibly is the only possible option.
Also pray it is a trouble free whelping. It would be heartbreaking for your bitch to lose her life because you haven't cared properly and that is a very real possibility with your lack of preparation.
It's American but may be helpful
Yeah I do
If we continue to 'assist' people who dont neuter or act responsibly then the situation is never going to change
Op had already had sound advice so I didn't see the need to add to that
No one had said how bloody stupid and irresponsible the situation is though so I thought I'd add that
If we make not neutering and irresponsible breeding completely socially unnacceptable rather than cooing about cure puppies then hopefully people will think twice
Lets be honest, if the other dog in question had been neutered then this bitch wouldn't have been mated
Regardless of ops financial situation, if she had been a millionaire I would have said the same, except at least then the money would be available to neuter and provide healthcare
Korma do you really honestly think that your posts have been useful?
Neither- nueter. Typo sorry
Blame isn't going to help right now though. That dog needs a check up to ensure that she's not carrying a foot ball team or that ones in an awkward position blocking the exit , or that they aren't large and impossible to birth naturally. As much as i can't abide idiot owners who don't neither animals or seek advice, scaring op off so that she doesn't feel able to come back and read responses doesn't help that dog and doesn't change the fact that she herself is struggling and however misguided she was trying to do the right thing.
op if you are reading this please ring round tomorrow and find someone or somewhere that will help you and your dog. X
whereis she became pregnant whilst in ops care - her brothers dog mated her.
So another un neutered dog
So op is to blame for the pregnancy
Aren't people on benefits entitled to help with vets bills? Please call vets or the RSPCA or pdsa, Battersea etc. see what options are available to you. Someone somewhere should be able to help you. You didn't know she was pregnant and if you took her then she was clearly in a bad situation and I'm assuming that you have no medical history of the dog. If you explain all this to anyone who will listen some vet or organisation may offer you a free consult. Just to get her checked over.
Did you get her from a rescue centre? Is there any way they could foster her to someone more experienced for the birth and then you take her back? I dont know if thats even possible
She's 57 days pregnant, which is less than 2 months.
How have you gone from totally secure and financially comfortable to too poor to get her to the vet in less than 2 months?
You really haven't thought this through, and it's not you who is going to suffer for it, it's your dog.
Yes I hear your excuses
But you could have prevented her from becoming pregnant and putting her at risk and being responsible for god knows how many puppies too
We all fall on hard times but had your dog not been mated it may not have been such an issue
Mate, you need to rehouse that dog. If you don't even have the money to get your kids to a an e, you cannot afford to have a dog. It's not a family member, it's a dog, and you cannot call an ambulance for a dog, there is no nhs for a dog, and you cannot get emergency loans from the social to meet a dogs needs. You can do all this for your children, because we have the social care system as a safety net, and because they are not dogs. Dogs are a luxery.
I'm sorry i have to leave the thread i have not slept and am very upset right now and feel attacked for trying my hardest to do the right thing in a bad situation. Thank you to those that offered advice instead of having a go.
Its ok op i read my post back and realise i might have sounded a bit abrupt, i can be a bit like 'right what are the facts' sometimes without any sympathy so i apologise too
oh and the insurance company i work for dont cover breeding animals so they wouldnt cover whelping and associated costs such as a c section. so ultimately it might not make that much difference that op doesnt have insurance.
Where did u get dog from? Is it possible to find out what the dads breed is. How big is your dog? If its small or the dads big u could be looking at a c section. Please do something to find out before you have a real medical emergency on your hands.
Speak to Any animal charity you can and explain situation. You need to know how many puppies and get advice in how to assist as dogs can have complications.
So korma if i had her for 10 years and only just got into this situation would you be advising me to give her up then because i could not comfortably afford an emergency?
Like i said i was financially better off when i agreed to take her and did not expect everything to go wrong but i have always been taught a dog is for life so was not going to just throw her away and show my kids that when it becomes difficult i can just abandon her.
Do you have a good relationship with your vets? Some of my family cannot afford vet fees. Our vet is happy to treat their pets on the understanding that the fees will be paid at the earliest possible time. It's an arrangement I made with them because we've always used that vets and they know I will pay, if my family cannot.
Which insurance companies have you looked at? Some are far cheaper than others. One of my dogs costs £35 per month, the other £6 a month with different companies.
Dreams yes the PDSA is what caters to those on benefits here but they ask for a donation. She is going there after the litter to ensure that this cannot happen again.
No I don't think it is unfair actually
In an emergency with regards to your children you could get an ambulance or even a taxi would take pity on you
There is no such provision for dogs, rightly so because they are an expensive privilege
A lot of vets won't just let you pay off a bill in instalments especially if you are a new client with no insurance
Your plan is flawed and irresponsible
I'm sure there is a scheme that will spade your dog for free if you are on benefits? Is there a blue cross near you op? Have a look as they are free for anyone on benefits I think.
That is unfair Korma i cant even afford the taxi fair to a hospital right now if god forbid my kids needed it does that mean i should give them up too? If she needs a c section then i will have to have her treated in an emergency and owe the money to the vets and pay it off with a loan or over time there is a way around these things it is simply that the pdsa cannot be contacted today for me to know my options.
When i agreed to the dog i was not in this much financial trouble and like i said already had plans to register with pdsa and sort out insurance ect it came on very suddenly and by then my kids had bonded and giving up the dog would have been heartbreaking for them.
Do you not think i know i cant really afford the dog right now? But i am not willing to give up a member of this family when it will not stay like this for long it is simply a difficult time right now, if i gave something up every time i struggled i wouldn't have any bloody kids right now either.
What if she has difficulties with birth and needs a. Section ?
Where will you find the 700 + pounds for that ?
I'm sorry you are struggling financially, truly I do sympathise but to take in a dog you cannot afford to provide care for and to then let that dog become pregnant is more than a little careless
If you can't afford healthcare, insurance etc then you can't afford the dog

Ken Lewis's Dubious Achievement Award
'America Banker' made Bank of America chieftain Kenneth Lewis 'Banker of the Year' this year. Yay?
Well. America Banker's decision to bestow Bank of America chieftain Kenneth Lewis with its "Banker of the Year" honor is pretty much going over like a lead balloon, what with this being the worst year ever for bankers and all. "It just doesn't seem like the right time to be dancing in the streets and celebrating banking," J. J. Hornblass of BankInnovation.net tells the Times, which itself snarks that the honor is "like being named the outstanding British soldier of 1776." But we expect the real outcry will occur when American Banker, which just laid off a bunch of people ("less than twenty," but still) hosts a retro–Gilded Age soiree to celebrate the King of the Dipshits at the Plaza, skedded for December 4, right around the time that BofA will likely be announcing its own layoffs as it merges with Merrill Lynch. "Let's just hope they serve a lot of alcohol," says Hornblass. Yeah. And let's also hope the people with, you know, the guillotines don't show up.

Banking Chiefs Must Come Clean on Risks
Talk to me.
That is the message that investors large and small are sending Wall Street banks ahead of the third-quarter earnings season. Starting on Thursday, when J.P. Morgan Chase JPM 0.31 % kicks off the proceedings, U.S. lenders will be under pressure to dispel the market's sense of déjà vu over another financial crisis.
With microphones ready, analysts' spreadsheets wide open and journalists' fingers poised over keyboards, the likes of J.P. Morgan's James Dimon, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS -0.11 % 's Lloyd Blankfein and Morgan Stanley's MS -0.03 % James Gorman will have to persuade us that—yes, you guessed it—this time is different from 2008.
But here is the rub: Simply saying it, which seems to be the Wall Street titans' preferred way of dealing with the issue so far, won't do the trick. Investors are in doubting-Thomas mode and need facts and figures.
You can't blame the market for demanding proof of banks' health. U.S. financial stocks have been the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500 this year, even after Monday's rally in banks' shares.
The reasons are known: a double-whammy of sovereign/banking turmoil in Europe and an anemic U.S. economy. Yet, the response to investors' fears from Wall Street's corner offices has been underwhelming, especially on Europe.
The arguments used by financial chiefs can be summarized thus: "Nothing to see here," and "Trust me, I am a Wall Street chief executive."
Unsurprising, neither has reassured investors. Take the first line of defense. Wall Street firms have rebuffed investors' questions about their exposure to Europe's troubled GIIPS (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) with words like "nominal," "manageable" or "well-hedged."
Such arguments are disingenuous, at best, because they refer to "net" exposures—the difference between gains and losses once all derivative trades are completed.
Unfortunately, net exposures are theoretical concepts, a bit like Platonic ideals of a balance sheet, based on the assumption that in a crisis all the derivatives contracts U.S. banks have with counterparties will be honored at the same time.
That is one big assumption. "Using net exposure assumes high quality of collateral and that hedges work in 'tail scenarios,' neither of which are certain," wrote Richard Ramsden, a Goldman Sachs analyst, in a note to clients last week.
In fact, when Lehman Brothers Holdings collapsed in 2008, it was a breakdown in the derivatives markets that exacerbated the aftershocks of the bankruptcy.
Mr. Ramsden estimates that large U.S. banks could be on the hook for $641 billion in GIIPS countries, if all derivatives, guarantees and commitments were taken into account. That is a lot more than the $150 billion or so of exposure Wall Street likes to talk about.
That difference of, give or take, half a trillion dollars is the stuff of nightmares for investors. Unless, that is, banks bridge the gap between fact and fear with a granular account of what is in those derivatives books, how much could really go wrong should Greece and other countries default and how good the collateral and hedges are.
When I asked executives from several banks why they haven't been more forthcoming, they mentioned the inherent complexity of their derivatives trades and concerns that rivals might steal their secrets—two reasons that might be valid in normal circumstances but that pale into insignificance in the current environment.
Heightened disclosure has often been used by banks to soothe investors' nerves. During the last crisis, financial groups produced warts-and-all accounts of their mortgage-backed securities as investors clamored to understand how toxic their balance sheets had become.
My sources say that some firms will provide more details about European exposures with their results. While they are at it, they should also swamp investors with details of their funding situations, reliance on "hot money" from hedge funds and equity- and debt-raising plans (and perhaps explain why now it is a good idea to use their money to buy back shares).
The problem faced by Wall Street chiefs is that, after the turbulent events of three years ago, they can't really ask the financial community to leave them alone and let them deal with the situation. The trust train left the station in September 2008 and isn't coming back anytime soon.
After being less than open on anything from collaterized debt obligations to off-balance sheet "SIVs" and auction-rate securities, U.S. banks can't expect investors to take their latest reassurances at face value.
"The best surprise is no surprise," says Charles M. Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "It is not as if investors have a ton of confidence in management and revealing it all could lead to them losing faith in management: They have already lost faith."
It is time for bank chiefs to lift the veil on their finances. Unless Wall Street does the talking, investors' mounting fears will take over the conversation.

Uhhhhh...if Chicago doesn't have strict gun laws, why Mr. Superintendent do you feel the need to make the point you supposedly don't have strict gun laws? Your response sir????
This is a discussion on Breaking News Out of Chicago within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; this speak for itself "0:36 thru 1:01"...
this speak for itself "0:36 thru 1:01"
Uhhhhh...if Chicago doesn't have strict gun laws, why Mr. Superintendent do you feel the need to make the point you supposedly don't have strict gun laws? Your response sir????
This is a laughable statement, apparently he hasn't looked at the local gun laws on the books in his area.
He only made one error of fact. Chicago and Illinois both have very strict laws regarding firearms. What neither have is the resources or wherewithal to impose harsh sentences for violations of those laws by violent criminals. The state is broke, and can't afford to incarcerate gun criminals.

Rahm is a skilled ventriloquist... probably got the whole book on "how to throw your voice" off the back page of his favorite comic book, back in the day.
Oh and by the way, the Super was right, Chicago does not have strict gun control laws. They have onerous gun control laws. he was also right regarding minimum sentences... NYC has strict gun control laws and hefty ENFORCED sentences for gun crime... and a bit less gun crime as a result.
Chicago has so many criminals from the streets to the elites, that it cannot have enforced sentences... they wouldn't have any criminals left to run the city... Including those who practice ventriloquism, without a license.
It could be worse!

So I'm trying to grab the
background-color of an HTML element and I'm having issues with the way I'm doing it because each browser likes to return the "color" in a different format.
var currentColor = $(this).css('background-color');
In Chrome you'd get something like:
currentColor = 'rgba(0, 0, 0)'
Whereas in Firfox:
currentColor = 'transparent';
I don't even pretend to know what IE would do.
Is there anyway to unify this?

The Nashville Predators are legit, even without Rinne in net
Cam Lewis
January 16 2015 10:31AM
The Nashville Predators, who currently own the best record in the NHL, are about to begin life without the league's best goaltender, Pekka Rinne, who will miss the next three to five weeks with a knee injury. With Rinne out of the lineup, the Predators will be forced to prove to the rest of the league that they truly are the Stanley Cup contender their record suggests they are, and that they aren't just a one-dimensional team riding the success of their goaltender.

Canucks will miss the playoffs, Kessel trade rumors, Flames slowing down, Oilers usual antics, Teemu the Dominator and more in this week's Roundup.
Nobody was better than the Dominator when he was at his best
Cam Lewis
January 14 2015 09:15AM
When Buffalo raised Dominik Hasek's number to the rafters on Tuesday night, it sparked a question regarding where he belongs on the list of greatest goaltenders of all time. While he doesn't have the same longevity or success that legendary goalies from the same era like Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur had, when he was at his best, nobody was better than Hasek. At his peak, he was the most dominant goalie ever to play the game. There's a reason he was called the Dominator — it certainly wasn't just a pun on his first name.

It was another rollercoaster weekend for Oilers fans. You were on a high after Friday's convincing victory over Chicago, but the winning ride didn't last long after yesterday's loss to the Florida Panthers.
We are officially past the halfway point of the NHL season, with only the Rangers, Canucks, Panthers and Blue Jackets not playing 41 games, but we've seen 627 of 1230 games played.
Here are some thoughts on the first half and some expectations for the second.

In a game against the Jets on Sunday night, the Ducks raised Teemu Selanne's number 8 to the rafters at The Pond, permanently enshrining the greatest and most important player in the history of the franchise. In memory of Teemu's career, let's take a look back at just how incredible a player he was.

Thibodaux resident recalls childhood spent half a world away
Published: Saturday, July 7, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 6, 2007 at 11:40 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- The soundtrack of her youth was a sirens call. The hot fashion accessory was a gas mask. And war threatened to destroy everything around her Oxford, England, home.
Yet, the constant peril presented by World War II didnt stop Valerie Howes Thibodaux -- 6 years old when it began in 1939 -- from venturing to her neighbors farm to play with animals.
"At times, I didnt realize the danger," she said. "Perhaps I was told, but I didnt listen."
The same could be said for her adult life, when she married a man from south Louisiana, despite her grandmothers reservations. Thibodauxs willful ignorance to her grandmothers fears led to a 30-year marriage with husband Wilton three children and a newfound independence.
Valerie Howes Thibodaux was born in 1933, and from an early age was raised by her grandparents. The couple tried to shield the girl from news of the war, but examples were too prevalent to be ignored.
"We knew what was going on," Thibodaux said. "We heard the air-raid sirens."
Still, there were also rare moments of normalcy amidst the chaos. Thibodaux and her friends rode bikes, played on a nearby farm and gladly accepted gifts of cranberries and eggs from American soldiers.
Two years after the wars end, Thibodaux left her grandparents house for boarding school in Penzance Cornwell. She returned a year later and enrolled in nursing school, a vocation her grandmother encouraged. She switched to a secretarial college in Oxford shortly after her 19th birthday and was working as a secretary when she met her future husband.
Wilton Thibodaux fought in the U.S. Army during World War II. In addition to his 10-year tenure in the army, he served 11 years in the Air Force.
The couple was married in 1961, despite the initial misgivings of her grandmother.
Thibodaux recalls that the humidity and Cajun culture required the biggest adjustments when they moved to Louisiana in 1964. Thibodaux also had to adjust to her new role as a stay-at-home mom. Her husband worked at Avondale Shipyard.
Each cultural difference, Thibodaux said, taught her to be more independent. Her husbands death in January 1992 from lung cancer forced her to rely more on herself.
Today, Thibodaux, who is a U.S. and British citizen, spends her time reading at the library, swimming in her backyard pool and caring for her two dogs.
She still has a pronounced English accent and drinks a cup of tea occasionally, but hasnt returned to her home country since 1995.
In fact, her definition of homesickness has changed.
After her husbands death, she briefly moved to Delaware to live close to her daughter. But it wasnt long before she returned to Thibodaux.
"I just felt like (Thibodaux) was home," she said. "I missed it so much."

The staff is friendly and very helpful. The location is perfect if you don't want to be in crowded Yangshuo. The pool is great and we really enjoyed the food.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This hostel is located just outside Yangshuo and right within the karst mountains and close to the Yulong river. They can arrange various activities in the neighborhood such as bamboo rafting, bicycle tours and cooking courses. Very friendly management and staff and an OK restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxing which closely resembles a French B&B on the countryside. We planned to stay only one week yet extended our stay with 8 nights. Improvement point are the shower facilities (hot shower issues).
Overall we would certainly recommend this accommodation to others as it will suit any kind of travelers. We really enjoyed our stay here.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say four students at Talladega High School were killed when the car they were riding in smashed into a tree shortly after classes ended for the day.
The lone survivor, 17-year-old Ashley Wright, was in critical condition late Wednesday at University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital.
Talladega County Coroner Jerry Castleberry identified the girls who died in the Wednesday crash as 19-year-old Marquesha L. Cook; 19-year-old Kiara Chatman; 19-year-old Jasmine Chatman; and 18-year-old Areshious Wright.
Castleberry says Ashley and Areshious Wright are sisters. The Chatmans are cousins.
Police say the car may have been speeding when it ran off the road and hit the tree, but officials are still trying to piece together what happened.

Life Happy Rafting! (Ignore the Corpse)
posted by July 7 at 8:31 AMon
From the Associated Press:
Police say white water rafters going through the tricky Blossom Bar rapids on southern Oregon's Rogue River may see the body of a California woman who drowned there last week but cannot be recovered.
The waters remain too rough for safe removal of the victim. Rafters are complaining about the ever-present corpse. Full story here.
Upsetting update/background from Slog tipper Ryan:
My cousin, a rafting guide on the Rogue River for eight years, told me about this story three days ago. His company Arta wasn't responsible for the accident, but knows the company involved. What was left out:
Helicopters aren't the only way to get to the body. Powerboats that commonly go down the rogue for tours are able to get to the body and one such boat tried to remove the body. It was too tangled to remove without risking ripping the corpse in half.
Oregon BLM [Bureau of Land Management] had agreed that dam levels could be altered for a half-day time period so that river levels could be lowered to get the woman out. The sheriff's department refused to ask for the levels to be lowered and the BLM cannot lower levels without a proper request. It would potentially take 4 hours for one person with bolt cutters and a saw to get her out if the levels were lowered.
The woman was a mother of three. The other rafter had her kneecap torn off by the accident. She was medevaced out within hours. The dead woman is visible from the water and her hand is above water line. Tour groups walk around this rapid now.
Basically, the sheriff's office is lying. Expect something to be done as its in the news now. The woman drowned 6 days ago. This is a really disturbing case, especially considering how callous the sheriff's department has been in handling it.
Eep. Stay tuned.
Update from Slog commenter Truthteller: The woman's body has been recovered.

Review of the hardback: 'While recent years have seen a welcome growth of research into small companies and business start-ups, acadmeics still face the problem of getting a clear mental image of what exactly is under consideration ... Research in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also faces some daunting problems of collecting and interpreting data ... this collection of 13 papers is an impressive indication of the value of systematic analysis in this field ... the substantive contributions [are] consistently well-written and often insightful ... the key lesson that emerges is the need for caution when attempting grand generalisations ... the volume is a testament to the principle that goos research should focus on interesting problems, even it the domain is complex and defies simplistic conclusions.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
Book Description
Why has the US successfully economy successfully moved beyond its chief competitors? This collection suggests that at least some of the answers to the pattern of divergent development can be found in the role of the entrepreneur. By examining the process that new firms and entrepreneurs play in the economy, the essays in this volume make a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the macroeconomy. The public policy implications of this process are clear. Countries that encourage entrepreneurship and free entry will have better macroeconomics performance than those that retard it.

A crook in San Jose, Costa Rica was salivating... thinking easy cash was headed his way.
He spun a whopper of a tale over the phone... promising $350,000 in prize money.
But he didn't know the Simla senior on the other end wasn't buying his sweepstakes story.
On the phone Henry Schuler said, "Man, that's great! Just get me that money!"
The small town of Simla doesn't see too many city slickers... but Henry Schuler heard from one promising big cash once $490 was wired to Costa Rica.
He claimed to be with the Federal Consumer Protection Agency which doesn't exist.
Henry was upset. "We're hard working people. We barely can make a living as it is... and then they want to scam us out of a few dollars."
News of Henry's call spread to Mayor Jerry Allen and Simla Police Chief Jim Leach. The chief called the sweepstakes man pretending to be Henry's son.
The chief said, "$490 is a lot of money for him." "No Jim, your father, he misunderstood. He's not to pay $490, he's to only pay $200."
The man went on for 20 minutes until the chief let him have it.
The chief said, "Let me tell you one thing, you're talking to a police officer okay. And i'm not buying any of this that you're telling me okay." "Uh huh." "This call is already being traced. I've had you on long enough so we'll get to the bottom of this okay?" "Okay, no problem. You have a trace so you come over to my office and I'll show you everything is on the up and up."
Chief Leach would like to catch the con man, but he's out of the country and outside his jurisdiction.
Just remember, you can't win a contest you never entered.
And anytime you're asked to wire money out of the U.S. that's a sure sign a crook's waiting at the other end.
