Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.

HAWS Unleashes a New Campaign to Foster a More Humane Community
HAWS, the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County, is asking the community to take action in support of the life-saving work of Waukesha's #1 pet resource center.
"HAWS goal is, and always has been, to adopt out all healthy and treatable animals," notes Executive Director Lynn Olenik. "To build an entire community that's humane needs the involvement of all those around us."
The life-saving programs of HAWS include:
· The Spay-Neuter Initiative Program (SNIP) clinic, and Project Guardian – a free spay-neuter service that is aggressively combating cat overpopulation, a problem that still exists in Waukesha County.
· HAWS' Behavior Department and Mod Squad™, volunteers and staff that work with dogs that are turned away by others, to rehabilitate these pets to make them wonderful adoption candidates.
· Instilling humane sentiments with the community's youth: HAWS Kids 'N Critters Day Camp, K'HAWS and Critter Club youth programs, partnerships with Lad Lake and many area schools and scout groups train the animal welfare leaders of tomorrow.
Olenik adds, "All these efforts come at a price, and HAWS needs our community to take action to continue these important programs. We are committed to remaining open admissions – we don't turn an animal away, and full service – providing adoptions, animal rescues, reuniting lost pets with their owners, rehabilitating animals in need and treating those with medical challenges."
Ways the community can join the movement:
· Volunteer at HAWS by working with the animals, or assisting with events and Mobile Adoptions.
· Foster an animal too young for adoption, or one that is recovering from illness or injury.
· Adopt a pet from HAWS…and tell others to adopt rather than purchasing from a pet store!
· Donate – money, supplies, time – every amount helps and there is always a need at HAWS.
· Promote spaying and neutering of companion pets, outdoor/barn cat populations, and end "backyard" breeding.

Adopt 4 Paws from HAWS: Meet the very happy Kane!
At HAWS our door is always open…to people AND animals, because we're here 24/7 to assist you.
You'll find all the paws to love at HAWS!
My name is Kane, and I am a 7-year-old Lab mix looking for a home without another dog, although cats would be fine.
I was adopted and then brought back to the shelter because I am VERY HAPPY and super ENTHUSIASTIC about life…which came across as me lacking manners and self-control. But I just need time to show you what a great dog I really am! I really, really need a home that understands me and a owner that will take the time to train me and realize that I am just strong and ACTIVE.
An active home with a biker or runner would be great…because a tired dog is a good dog! I'm ready for a game of football, tag, Frisbee, whatever! Teenagers who want to play with me would be the best, but I have been known to knock over younger kids with my enthusiasm so I should probably not live with them.
Call HAWS today at 262-542-8851 or log onto www.hawspets.org for more information on Kane and all his adoptable buddies at HAWS!
HAWS Viewing/Adopting Hours: Monday through Friday, 1:00 – 6:00 p.m., Saturday, 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Sunday, Noon - 4:00 p.m. Receiving Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Saturday, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Sunday, Noon - 4:00 p.m.
By the way - HAWS' 2nd Winter Symposium has been announced! Join us on Saturday, December 1st for a day of information and networking with other "pet people." Topics include pet nutrition and the link with behavior, therapeutic laser treatment for pets, and end-of-life care. Animal professionals and the general public are invited to attend. For details and registration, log onto our website.
A Kind of Cat-tastrophe
HAWS would like you to know that today, October 16th, is National Feral Cat Day.
(Today is also Boss' Day, and anyone who shares their home with a cat knows there are similarities…but we digress.)
Originally launched by a group called Alley Cat Allies, National Feral Cat Day is designed to improve awareness and welfare of outdoor cats. Millions of these cats are living outside in our communities nationwide, but many are not spayed or neutered, leading to a very real overpopulation problem. Did you know that a single cat and her first litter of kittens can be responsible for the births of almost 500,000 more cats? If 1 cat = 1.5 million, imagine what will result from a barnyard full of cats…
Waukesha County is home to many, many, MANY outdoor cats! HAWS takes in thousands of cats each year – currently we have dozens available for adoption. Many of these great animals were born outside and have been homeless since birth. Without HAWS stepping in to help, these cats would give birth to more cats (compounding the problem), and could also face an unknown future full of predators, traffic mishaps, extreme temperatures and hunger.
HAWS' Project Guardian is designed to end cat overpopulation in our community, by offering free spay/neuter surgeries. Project Guardian is also designed to create awareness within our community – to spur our residents to get involved by caring for these cats either through Trap-Neuter-Release in the case of cats that are working on area farms, or through a concentrated effort to rid an area of unwanted cats by trapping and re-homing them.
If you are aware of outdoor or stray cats in your area, please contact HAWS SNIP clinic at 262-542-8851, x109 to spay or neuter them through Project Guardian. When you prevent the birth of more homeless animals and help put an end to animal overpopulation in our community you are literally a life saver!
By the way – this Sunday is our annual Guinea Pig Primer. Come learn more about this great little pets and their care – even bring your pet piggy along to participate in the Guinea Pig Olympic Games…featuring the Sprint for Parsley. This FREE event runs from noon til 4pm – and everyone is welcome!
Salad Days at HAWS!
There are so many great pets up for adoption at HAWS these days, it is hard to pick just one to spotlight. But we'll do our best...
Say hello to Crouton the Cat!
Crouton is a 1-year-old, shorthair cat with coloring known as "pastel torbie." She was brought to HAWS' shelter after being found wandering stray in the City of Waukesha.
This sweet girl is playful and friendly. She would do well in a home with kids, and also would probably like another cat-sibling to pal around with and explore. We get the sense that she was not at all thrilled to be an "outside" cat and will love the luxury and domesticity of house living. She loves to snuggle, too!
Crouton and all her adoptable friends at HAWS are available for viewing 7 days a week - stop in today and find some paws to love of your own!
By the way - upcoming events include our FREE "Solving K9 Behavior Problems" seminar (10-29), TTouch for Little Critters (11/4), and Winter Symposium (12/1). Check out our Upcoming Events calendar for details and registration!
'Tis (Time to Start Thinking About) the Season
Leading up to the holidays, HAWS has all sorts of events, fundraisers and neat goings-on to help the pets of our shelter. We invite you to join us as we "share the gift of creating a humane society"!
This Saturday is the Friends of HAWS annual Holiday Bazaar and Bake Sale. Get a jump on your holiday shopping with gifts for both the pet and the pet fan - all in support of the animals at HAWS! There will be handmade crafts and homemade baked goodies for sale as well as other pet-themed items and HAWS' ever-popular Paw gear. (Possibly there's a HAWS hoodie sweatshirt in your future?!) The Bazaar begins at 9am and runs until 4pm. Stop by early for the best selection...and stay for a light lunch, too!
Love getting your pet in holiday apparel and getting a pet photo for your holiday cards? HAWS has several opportunities for you to do just that, with proceeds going to the shelter.
- This Saturday from 10am - 3pm HAWS' Mobile Adoption Center will be at End of the Leash in Pewaukee (115 W. Wisconsin Ave.) for a holiday event - make a donation from HAWS' Wish List and receive a photo of your pet from Studio 360 of Pewaukee.

Need your fast-food fix? Taco Johns of Waukesha will be announcing their annual Nachos Navidad fundraiser with billboards posted on November 12...which is the day they will start selling $1 ornaments to benefit HAWS! Then, starting December 1, 25 cents from every Nachos Navidad sold through December 31 will be donated to HAWS. In past year's this fundraiser has brought in THOUSANDS of dollars to our shelter, and what a delicious way it is to support the HAWS cause!
By the way - Ttouch for Little Critters is this Sunday, November 4, at HAWS. Treat your rabbit, guinea pig, or other small critter to the calming effects of Tellington TTouch.

Sky's the Limit
Tom "Sky" Skibosh covers the Wauwatosa, Brookfield and New Berlin prep scene for Community Newspapers. If something is going on in local sports, Sky has an opinion about it. If you agree or not with what Sky says, we want to see your comments.
Football weekend is early, but it's here
I had the opportunity to see two intercity rivalries this weekend to start the way too early football season.
Friday night I saw New Berlin Eisenhower crush New Berlin West, 43-0, at Ike and then on Saturday I saw the return of the Tosa East-Tosa West game for the first time in 15 years.
Gusho this weekend, big games on gridiron in Brookfield
The annual Al Gusho soccer tournament at Brookfield East is set for Friday and Saturday, with the Spartans hosting Madison Memorial in the stadium and Neenah battling Catholic Memorial on the north field at 4:30 p.m.
Arrowhead meets Muskego in the stadium and Marquette plays Kenosha Bradford on the north field at 6 p.m. the first night.
Those are some pretty good teams all playing in one spot, so if you want to see some good soccer, head over to East Friday and Saturday.
The Spartans and the Lancers should be in the thick of the Greater Metro Conference race again, along with the powerful Hilltoppers. One thing both coaches — East's Herbie Dundun and Central's Jon Mroz believe in is playing as many tough non-conference games as possible.
Brookfield Central football
It's early in the season, of course — only one game has been played — but the Brookfield Central football team faces a big challenge on the road Friday.
The Lancers lost to Racine Park (1-0), a team that hasn't had a winning season since going 10-2 in 2008. The Panthers were 4-5 last year and 5-5 in 2009.
Central is playing two-platoon football, a luxury some smaller programs don't have. They fell behind 17-0 to Park, before DeMario Harris scored on a nice 32-yard run to put their first points of the season on the board.
But Central's defense couldn't control Panthers quarterback Jordan Payne, who scored three rushing touchdowns and rushed for 155 yards, averaging almost 10 yards per carry.
The Lancers showed a solid running game, however, as running backs Harris and Craig Jordan and quarterback Jason Meichtry rushed for 278 yards among them. Harris had 135 yards and touchdown runs of 32 and 20 yards, Meichtry had 81 yards and a 43-yard run, and Jordan rushed for 62 yards.
It is too early to know how good either of these teams will be come playoff time, but nobody wants to begin the season with an 0-2 record.
One thing for sure, the Lancers will have to pick up their passing game, as Meichtry completed as many passes (5) as he had intercepted.
While coaches don't — and shouldn't — look ahead, media people do it all the time.
The Lancers open the Greater Metro Conference season with West Allis Hale and Sussex Hamilton, both team's with opening week victories. During the preseason prognostications, Central is bunched in a group with these two teams and Menomonee Falls behind the always powerful Marquette.
One interesting angle — which will probably have nothing to do with the end result — is the return of the Lancers' offensive coordinator Joe Koch to Oak Creek, where he had built the Knights into a state powerhouse before leaving a few years back.
After covering New Berlin Eisenhower-New Berlin West and Wauwatosa East-Wauwatosa West games Friday and Saturday, I am looking forward to getting my first exposure to one of my Brookfield teams.
Brookfield East football
Across town, the Spartans are coming off a 55-0 victory over Grafton on Friday. It was important for the young Spartans to get off to a good start, especially since both their quarterbacks, Bryce Pompos and Dylan Golla, were getting their first snaps as varsity players.
But before making reservations for the state tournament, East fans need to realize the Blackhawks — who were 0-9 last year — have not won more than two games in a season going back through 2005.
East will now host Milwaukee South of the City Conference, a team that has had back-to-back 3-6 seasons.
It is important for a squad as young as the Spartans to build some early-season confidence before beginning the rugged GMC schedule. The Spartans catch a break by opening against West Allis Central and Wauwatosa East in games one and three with a tougher matchup against Menomonee Falls in between.
The Bulldogs and Red Raiders, both improved teams, only had one win between them last year, a win by West Allis Central over Tosa East. The Spartans' second game of the GMC season, at Menomonee Falls, will be the biggest challenge East will face in the first five weeks, in my opinion.
Smart non-conference scheduling by East coach Tom Swittel will hopefully pay off.

Planned Parenthood Challenges Countries to Do Better in Reducing Unsafe Abortion
New estimates from the World Health Organization show that as of 2008, 26.1 million unsafe abortions take place annually, nearly all (98 percent) in developing countries. These estimates reveal that the annual number of unsafe abortions has risen as the world's population has grown, but that better access to contraception and safe abortion contributed to a modest decline in rates of unsafe abortion in many regions of the world. "Some 47,000 women per year are estimated to lose their lives from complications of unsafe abortion, almost all of which could have been prevented through better access to sexuality education, fertility awareness, contraception and especially safe abortion services," the report states.
Rates of unsafe abortion were highest in central and eastern Africa, where unmet need for contraception is great and access to safe abortion is highly restricted. By contrast, in countries like the United States, where contraceptive use is widespread and abortion is safe and legal, serious injury and death from abortion are virtually nonexistent.
"The numbers are quite clear, where contraception is broadly available and abortion is legal and safe, women are able to avoid unsafe abortions," said Mary-Jane Wagle, Vice President International, Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Planned Parenthood urges governments around the world to make contraception affordable and available, ramp up their investments in new technologies like medication abortion for earlier, safer procedures, and to reexamine restrictive abortion policies in light of the scientific evidence. Banning abortion does not make it go away; it only makes it unsafe."
Maternal mortality rates released earlier this year by a group of UN agencies including WHO, showed far greater declines, indicating that progress in reducing unsafe abortion lags behind other efforts to improve women's health worldwide.

I want to install a fresh air intake on my Pellet stove but the kit from the manufacturer (Quadra Fire) cost about $100 which is outrageous. Even the dealer said "make it yourself". I can find the parts to to this myself with the exception of the aluminum flex tubing. I need 2 inch and cannot find anything under 3" that is not part of an expensive kit. Where should I look?
thanks, Rick.

I bought this duvet cover in taupe/twin size, as an upgrade to my dorm bed at college. The duvet I got was twin size and the cover fits perfectly without big gaps. It is SOOO soft and the taupe color is very versatile, as it can be matched with many other colors. It works very well with my plum colored sheets. Highly recommend this duvet cover set!
I was worried that this was going to be thin and transparent. The material was nice and the colors were accurate. One of my duvets is a light blue and it doesn't show through, even on the white side.
I bought two of the twin size. They were the best I found online for the price, I thought, and I was not disappointed when I received them. Very nice, polished finish. Easier to put on my comforters than some I've had before. They are bigger than the twin comforters I put them on, which I like, and yet the comforters stay put inside them with no bunching up or sliding around, etc. I chose the light blue and it is a very pretty blue, exactly the blue I thought it'd be from the picture. I would definitely recommend this product.
I bought these in the tan/taupe color. They are true to the color on the website, and the quality was actuallymich better than I expected for the price. The sateen fabric is very soft. I washed these according to the directions and took them promptly out of the dryer to hang. They had a smooth feel and very little wrinkling. (no need to iron, love that!) I recommend twin size comforters to fill these; I tried full/queen as someone recommended that gavetwin duvets a "fluffy"look, but for me it just looked lumpy. These duvet covers do not have ties in the corners, but safety pins work fine to hold the corners of the comforter. These are not of a heavy, thick,fabric but have a nice quality "feel" to them. The pillow shams are really pillow cases,but that isn't a problem for me, especially considering the low price.
I bought two twin duvet/sham sets in light blue/white. No, they're not the best linens in the world but for the price I paid I am very happy with them. They look sharp and crisp, wash really nicely, and I think will wear for a good long time. Btw, I saw these on *** but got them for quite a bit less on Overstock.
Washed the duvet and shams before I put them on the bed. Material wrinkles and had to iron the shams. But it wasn't bad for the duvet and 4 days later the wrinkles are not noticeable. The color is a darker green than sage but still has a greyish cast to the green. That is what I wanted and the color that was reflected in the picture. It fits my double-sized comforter better than most. Many combine the Full/Queen and it's too big. I used the suggestions here to get large safety pins for the corners, and it works great.
Bought the khaki/white reversible duvet cover and shams with the hope of a quick fix until I could find the right cotton comforter I liked. This is better than expected with a wonderful look and soft feel. I am extremely satisfied and would purchase this again!!
Looked for a long time for a Duvet cover - without pilow covers. Not being able to find just the Duvet cover, and having explored many websites, I opted to purchase the Milena 3 piece reversible set. It washes very well, and is almost wrinkle free. The colors on both sides of the cover work very well with my color schemes. It is a shame the pillow covers have to sit in a closet, unused.
The material is soft so it feels comfortable, I bought the set mainly for the duvet cover which has a button closure on the button, it works well. The color is not loud but a true green, not dark, just the way I envisioned it, perhaps it looks a tiny bit darker than what the photo shows. Pleased with this product.
This set is marvelous for the price. Looks way more expensive than what I paid for it. The material is soft and lovely, no trouble getting my comforter into the duvet...would buy extra if I needed them or more colors available.. Don't be afraid to get this....I am still trying to figure out what some reviews tended to be negative. I think it is a super buy.

Saint Eusebius of Samosata
Bishop of Samosata, Syria. Fought Arianism, and defended Orthodox Christianity in the 4th century. Active in the Synod of Antioch in 361, a site of great debate over Arianism. Emperor Constantius was displeased, and demanded that Eusebius turn over records from the synod, threatening to amputate the bishop's hand if he refused; he refused; Constantius was impressed, and let him go.
Worked with Christians in Syria and Palestine, encouraging their faith during the persecutions of Valens. This work got him exiled to Thrace, but when Valens died in 378, Eusebius returned to Samosata. Killed by an Arian woman when he want to Dolikha, Syria to ordain a Catholic bishop.

Check out the new sunscreen guidelines from the FDA.
Why should I use sunscreen for sun protection?
Sun protection products help protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays.
You can't see UV rays from the sun! There are three types of UV rays:
Choosing and using sun protection products
Look at the SPF
Sunscreen products contain active ingredients that absorb into your skin to provide sun protection within the skin layers. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) number on the product label tells you how long the product will protect your skin from burning UVB rays. Use a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher.
Broad spectrum products are best
These products have ingredients that absorb into your skin and block both harmful UV-A and UV-B rays from ever entering your skin.
Use products that contain one of the following to get broad spectrum protection:
Is it water resistant?
Sun protection products may be labeled as "water resistant". Don't be misled by these labels – reapply sunscreen every 40-80 minutes (depending on the product) when you have been in the water.

Comments On Mar 08, 2014:This should be on all bikes ,as it will save you from destroying your top end and maybe your bottom end. Both of them!!!

Comments On Mar 03, 2014:It is nothing but my own fault for not reading the instructions after removing the tensioner when doing new rings. You ***HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE TENSIONER IS COLLAPSED FULLY BEFORE INSTALLING** otherwise this will over tension your cam chain and it will break. A symptom is poor starting ,as if your autocompression isn't working. Don't take out your piston and valves like I did due to user error...
TECH NOTE: All auto cam chain tensioners need to be collapsed before installation regardless of brand

Comments On Dec 18, 2013:I bought this to replace the factory tensioner and it was surprising how much less noise it actually makes now. I used to be able to hear the cam chain slapping around in there and it was not cool but now it runs smooth as can be! I bought it with a new piston and gaskets to do a top end rebuild but I have only done the tensioner and it was money well spent to replace the stock one.

Comments On Nov 18, 2013:installed very quick and easy. directions were spot on. this solved my rattling cam chain issue and the bike sounds 10x better than before. make sure you install it in the correct closed position or things could be fatal.

Comments On Sep 04, 2013:I replaced the stock tensioner in about 10 minutes using a new copper gasket and two o-rings, then cranked the engine with the the kill switch in the off position to get oil pumped everywhere. Then started the bike. I couldn't believe how quiet the engine was. I didn't expect that much difference.

Bringing it back to Buffalo -State-of-the-art laundry facility for Buffalo's East Side
- Details
- Created on Tuesday, 03 April 2007 02:37
- Written by Susan Capparelle
Giardino's company has several development projects in New York State and the Northeastern United States. Although revitalizing East Buffalo is one of his reasons for the project, he cites another compelling reason. In 2005 Giardino discovered that a Buffalo based laundry was at the top of every local hospital's wish list.
"In discussion with area hospital CEOs there was a desire to outsource their linen," says Giardino. Until then many area hospitals handled their laundry in-house while others utilized commercial suppliers as far away as Rochester and even Syracuse. "Another significant reason was the capital cost of maintaining laundry equipment at the hospitals when it could be better spent on medical machinery," he says.
Giardino partnered with Sodexho to handle the plant's linen processing. "Sodexho has a great track record of providing quality managers and managing services – we were very impressed with what they did with the Cleveland Clinic hospital," says Giardino.
The site was acquired in April 2005 and all site remediation took place between then and Dec 2005. "The plant was gutted,' said Giardino. "Floor trenches and pits were cut into the floor to run hot water and wash solvents and to reclaim heat and recycle. "New high efficiency boilers, new thermal windows, new truck docks, new offices, a cafeteria and locker rooms were all installed. By July 2006 the process was complete and on Dec 21st 2006 the laundry opened for business.
The 60,000 square foot laundry currently employs 160 full-time people with the expectation of employing 200 local residents at the laundry's peak performance. Hours of operation are 6am-11pm with two shifts.
Twenty-one million pounds of hospital linen are currently processed at the facility which has a 30-40 million pound potential according to Bob Pfeiffer, District Manager East Coast, Sodexho Laundry Services.
The laundry services several hospitals and hospital systems throughout Western New York including Brooks Memorial Hospital, the Catholic Health System of Buffalo, Erie County Medical Center Corporation, Kaleida Health, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and TLC Health Network, through an agreement with the Western New York Purchasing Alliance LLC.
According to Pfeifer the furthest hospital is 50 miles way and Sodexho has contracted with a delivery company to deliver the laundry to the facility.
"We offer a very comprehensive linen and laundry service to the hospitals,' says Emeka Okeani, President, Sodexho Laundry Services. "We are not a company that just drops laundry at the hospitals – we want to insure the maximum efficiency of our products and that we impact the patient experience positively."
To meet such stated high standards the plant is not only state-of–the-art but also ergonomically friendly. Computerized programming moves the goods around the building while long-standing stations have soft mats and the new equipment's design takes into account the position and angle of the worker.
Plant equipment includes 2 Lavatec 16-pocket tunnel washers, 6 Lavatec dryers supporting each washer, 4 Chicago feeder/folder/ironers, 5 Chicago small piece folders, 2 Chicago blanket folders, a Kemco hot water system, and 2 Cleaver Brooks boilers.
While 160 jobs may not seem like enough to reinvigorate an old inner city neighborhood, Giardino points out that for a community that traditionally loses jobs, gaining 160 permanent jobs with the
potential for more is a big plus. (Centerstone has a business plan in the works for the remaining 80,000 sq feet of the plant.) Giardino also believes that the project sets a precedent for future successful collaborations in the area.
"From a developer point of view the key to success is to listen to the different needs of the participant s in the project," he says. "The hospitals all had different business projections, different assessments but we balanced the different interests of different hospital and brought them together in a communality of participants."

DHEA Supplements
By Sherry L. Granader, Nutritionist
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands that is a precursor to estrogen, testosterone and other hormones. It is also important for supporting the immune, nervous and circulatory systems. The production of DHEA peaks in the mid-20s, starts to decline at the age of 30 and by the age of 70 is only at about 20%. DHEA is considered an anti-aging therapy to improve muscle strength, bone density, skin thickness and sexual function, especially in women.
Many people believe they can fight the effects of aging, improve sex drive, build muscle and improve other health conditions with supplementation, however there are some risks.
Most DHEA supplements are made from soy or wild yams and act as a precursor to male and female sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Precursors are substances that are converted into a hormone by the body. Supplementing with DHEA can increase the levels of these hormones and claim to:
• Build muscle strength
• Strengthen the immune system
• Slow down the aging process
• Boost energy levels
• Improve mood and memory
Many report positive effects from taking DHEA, however there are many studies that show opposite effects in the body, and no one knows the long-term effects from supplementation that could prove harmful. If you are dealing with any type of cancer, specifically ovarian, breast or prostate, then it is not a good idea to supplement with DHEA.
Supplementing with DHEA has shown promise in those dealing with mild to moderate depression and may help when used in a combination for treating adrenal deficiencies, lupus and obesity. However, more research is needed in these therapies and others including low bone density, psoriasis, infertility, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Some of the side effects of supplementing with DHEA include:
• Hair loss
• Upset stomach
• Oily skin
• Acne
• Deeper voice and facial hair in women
• Nasal congestion
• Headaches
• Irregular or rapid heart beat
• Insomnia
• Changes in cholesterol levels that are not favorable
These side effects are the result of increased levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body and the long-term effects of elevating hormones is not fully known. One version of a DHEA supplement is known as 7-Keto that is endorsed to reduce body fat while boosting the metabolism, making it easier for the body to burn calories more efficiently. However, there is very little evidence for investing in this supplement for weight loss. Many athletes take DHEA to improve their muscle strength and performance. That is because it is considered a 'prohormone' that increases the levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone. It is always a good idea to check with a health professional or nutritionist before taking any supplement, especially DHEA.

Re: your March 6 article, "Hooters' full bar idea riles some in T.O.":
If Hooters is allowed to amend its license to serve hard liquor, it will surely be the end of life as we know it in Thousand Oaks - imagine serving hard liquor at a restaurant. Just kidding.
There is no sound reason why Hooters should not be allowed to have a full bar. The radical minority here has some agenda we just don't see. To allow a few very vocal individuals to speak for the city seems hard to fathom.
Let's approve the license and let the restaurant remain another successful employer in our great city.

So something to note that I didn't. There are two sizes of these Wayfarer sunglasses. I thought I had scored an amazing deal, finding these for such a great price. But please note, these are the larger of the two options. I prefer the smaller version. I'm a petite and these glasses were just too big for my face. For those looking for the larger pair, these are great. For those looking for the smaller version, these are very different!
Excellent glasses, but they are not as small as the description indicates. I'm a 5'9" woman and these feel a little big on my face, so don't expect these glasses to fit average or petite women very well.
I am a life guard and was looking for something that I can put prescription lenses into so that I don't have to wear contacts at work anymore. I love these because it allows me to do that. The color is exact and even though it is kind of dark in color, there are lighter shades of brown too. So they are super cute! The only complaint that I have is that the frames are big. I can almost wear my regular glasses under them. But I will keep them
The sunglasses were just as described, arrived quickly and are the same great quality and look you would expect from Ray Bay. My duaghter absolutely loved these sunglasses and has enjoyed wearing them since receiving them. Shopped the internet and Overstock was by far the best price for the same product. No complaints what so ever.
If you're hesitant to buy these, don't be. They are exactly as described. In regards to the negative reviews regarding fit and color. Please do your research and go try a pair on at your local store. This style is not for everyone. I knew what I wanted and these did not disappoint. Shipping was super fast and the price was a steal.
I was nervous after reading the reviews about the large size of the frames...they are perfect in size! They are not the huge frames people are talking about. I love my Ray Bans!
These glasses are sooo wonderful. I'm lost without them! They are substantial, and after a year, they are still like new. They are a little big for my head, which reviews did indicate, but not so bad that I had to return them. They don't slip around. First pair of Ray Bans, and now I get why they are so popular. I LOVE THEM.
Can't beat the value. My son loves the glasses!! Classic style & the quality is always spot on. Enjoy shopping on OS!!!

Somerset Care and Forget Me Not Book are working together to enhance quality of life and service delivery by offering a new 'Life History' service, which involves creating a memory book.
The online memory book created at Forget Me Not Book allows the capture of personal, enlightening and fun stories or anecdotes which when combined with photos provides a rich insight into the life and character of a person. The content can then be printed into a beautiful book.
Jon Lale, Director of Forget Me Not Book said "We are very excited to be working with Somerset Care as they roll out the use of our website across their care homes, and look forward to working with both staff and families.
We didn't coin the phrase 'Person Centred Care' but it quickly became evident that we had developed something that helped care homes deliver it. What's been impressive about working with Somerset Care was how open minded they were and how hard they are working to integrate Forget Me Not Book into their processes.
It's clear that Somerset Care are leaders in their field and we are confident our partnership will have a major impact on the well-being of those in care."

They walked on to the Baltimore football field Thursday evening surrounded by huge cheers, standing cheers, and the NFL's newest stars smiled and tipped their caps.
That these zebras were now lions showed how the darkest three weeks in NFL history might become of the most enlightening periods in sports.
In causing chaos by locking out its regular officials, the NFL brought order to the way an American fan thinks. In losing its integrity, the NFL gave us an education.
We get it now, don't we? We understand this whole arbiters-of-fair-play thing more than ever, right? I'm guessing we'll now have a greater appreciation for officials not only in football, but in every other sport where once we viewed them only as uneducated goofs who are ruining our games.
Now that we have actually seen uneducated goofs ruining our games, well, we might look at that scowling NBA referee or home-plate ump and realize the sport is lucky to have him.
"The one positive thing out of this whole mess is that people will have a new perspective and awareness of the extraordinary value officials bring to any sport," said Barry Mano, the Wisconsin-based founder and president of the National Assn. of Sports Officials. "Fans think we're a bunch of part-timers screwing around being bossy and being paid too much. I think now they'll see it differently."
Kill the ump? Not anymore, not after we've seen how much worse it could be. I was in the Angel Stadium stands Wednesday night, two days after the Monday night refereeing debacle that rocked the sports world, and I sensed a new respect for the umpires. It was a close game with the Seattle Mariners, there was a strike call loudly questioned from my second-deck section, and several other fans turned to the guy and wondered how he could see it from there.
Conspiracy theories in the NBA? The only conspiracy that worries is one that would replace the veteran referees who routinely control the biggest names in sports as if they were kids in sixth period PE. Thanks to football's replacements, we've seen what can happen when giant men sense a weakness in officiating, and it's not pretty.
We learned these things not only by watching the football replacements mess up, but also by watching how they messed up. Even though the turning point in the lockout was a bad call that gave the Seattle Seahawks a last-second victory over the Green Bay Packers, this wasn't as much about the bad calls as the poor game management and administration that undermined the officials' ability to make those calls.
"People see that our guys are not just making calls," said Mano. "These guys are masters at moving through the chaos and settling things down."
Mano said one of the biggest examples of a need for respect was a celebrated play that didn't even involve an official. Remember when Tampa Bay's defense caused an outcry by rushing into the New York Giants backfield when quarterback Eli Manning was attempting to end a game with a kneel-down?
"If a veteran official like Ed Hochuli was around, they never would have tried that," Mano said. "He would have been like, 'OK, guys, game ending here, let's not do anything stupid.' He would have stopped it before it happened."
The standing ovation given referee Gene Steratore and his crew before Thursday night's game between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens will certainly not be repeated after this weekend. The bro-hug given by the Ravens' Ray Lewis to line judge Jeff Seeman will happen nevermore. Granted, we're never going to love these guys like we're loving them now, upon their return after three weeks of being replaced by low-level college and Lingerie Bowl officials.
We still won't be their friends. But I'm guessing we'll no longer be their enemies. We won't always agree with them, but I'm guessing we'll have a deeper respect for them.
"It will be a relatively short honeymoon. That's fine," said Mano. "But the awareness has been raised."
I'm certainly going to think back to the lockout the next time I scream about a holding call. I'm going to remember it the next time I go on television to rip what I think is a bad strike call or a phantom charging violation. I'll be just as angry, surely, but I'll calm much more quickly now that I understand that these so-called uneducated goofs may have the most difficult job in sports.
"Right now, all of the media guys are coming to me with that awareness, all of you are saying, 'I just had no idea," said Mano, who did 16 media interviews in the 16 hours after the Wednesday night labor settlement.
I'm guessing it's not just us. Mano said that his daughter, a lawyer who never discusses officiating with him, texted him Monday night with, "Officiating in Packers game equals train wreck."
Mano laughed at the recollection, saying, "For my daughter, who doesn't care about this stuff, to suddenly send me that? I thought, holy smokes, here it comes."
Now that the debacle has ended, here come some doses of reality that will test our new understanding. There will be a close play in a World Series game, a controversial pass interference in the NFL playoffs, Kobe Bryant loudly claiming he was fouled on a drive in the playoffs … and, yes, we'll scream. But if the last three weeks taught us anything, it is that the officiating is exact and impossible and probably as good as it can be. And in the end, that will put us back in our seats and allow us to move on with our lives.
The refs will still be blind. But, hopefully, we won't.

I have been working at Bridgepoint Education full-time for more than a year
Pros – Decent Pay, good benefits, opportunities for professional development and growth, community partnerships. This company does a great deal of community service projects as well as outreach to the San Diego community. Outside of the admissions department, there is a great sense of job satisfaction, and safety. OUside of Admissions you will find a very professional atmosphere, and an emphasis on developing talents and leadership. Very supportive of the military community.
Cons – a lot of turnover, constant change. The Admissions floors are a place that can be very tough. Management puts a lot of pressure on employees and lower management to perform. I have seen people with Masters degrees completely not satissfied, nor appreciated for their value. I can say that the culture is changing though. The company is moving away from overly-aggressive sales tactics. Now they're just aggressive. The company doesn't do an adequate job of addressing parking problems.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep striving to develop a culture in the Admissions dept. that can support every employee. Everyone should feel proud to have this company on their resume, or facebook page. Continue to be involved in the community, and making the reputation of the brand a strong one. Make exceptions for students if you have to, especially if it means they won't feel ripped off.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I'm interested!
Hello this is an idea i represent (from clock)
" the idea is to make a skype stream to discuss how shading and volumes, and how to apply color theory to it. Also for people who wants, to discuss work by work and how to improve also stuffs about comic or design theory for people who want "
Is there anyone interested in joining us?
So the first skype finished, we had a bit trouble with the stream so we couldn't really get the whole tutorial and showing working but with sending files and all it works out.
We figured this could be done more often, like just talking to other artists(people) just about subjects you want or would like help with.
This is a skype of helping each other with the knowlegde we have.
This time we talked a lot about comics and panels stuff, which was very interesting and really motivational for me!

Mr. Speaker, I rise to present the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.
It introduces a new three-part plan for jobs and growth that is built on investing in people, building modern infrastructure and supporting a dynamic and innovative business climate.
Our government does so at a time when forces outside Ontario continue to affect our economy.
Leading many Ontarians to worry about their job security and their future.
The recovery from the global recession remains uncertain.

The newest Lamborghini puts a high-powered engine behind the driver and high-powered digital graphics ahead.
Pricing not available
The new entry-level Lamborghini is fast & light.
We finally meet the replacement for Lamborghini's Gallardo in the flesh... er, sheet metal.
Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the Veneno Roadster, a stunning embodiment of speed and audacity limited to a handful of production models in 2014.
At the 2013 Geneva Auto Show, Lamborghini celebrates 50 years by unveiling the Lamborghini Veneno, a production car that the Italian automaker sells for $4 million dollars and are already sold out of the 4 models built. Exclusivity comes with a hefty price tag.
It has a mid-mounted V-10, all-wheel-drive, and an unmistakable shape, but the new Huracan completely revamps the Gallardo's super sports formula.
The replacement for the Lamborghini Gallardo finally arrives with more power and tech, but less weight.
Google Street View takes its off-road cameras inside the Lamborghini Museum in northern Italy to give you a 360-degree tour.
Only one Egoista will ever be made: Lamborghini's 50th anniversary gift to Lamborghini. Here's your chance to take a spin in this self-indulgent set of wheels.
The luxury Tonino Lamborghini Antares has similar specs to the Motorola Moto G -- only at £2,500, it's just a touch more expensive.


text: In the past few years, wine packaging and dispensing in the U.S. has taken on new forms, going beyond the now-ubiquitous screw caps on bottles. These include the various permutations of wine "in a box," Tetra Paks, and single servings of sparkling and still wine in cans. On-premise retailers are also increasingly offering wines on tap by the glass or carafe, which retain their freshness better than wines from open bottles. These new technologies offer a range of benefits, from environmental (reduction in the use of glass and the supplier's carbon footprint) to economic (cheaper packaging and lighter, more efficient freight loads), to widening wine's appeal to new consumers—particularly the younger set, who are more likely to welcome innovation and are less bound to tradition. Enter the concept of growlers for wine. A "growler" is a container that most commonly is filled with beer from a tap at a brewery… Read more

Lowe's earnings of 88 cents per share blew past Wall Street expectations of 79 cents. Same store sales were up 9.6 percent, the strongest quarterly comp since the first quarter of 2004, was not far from Home Depot's 10.7 percent gain.
Much has been made recently of the "gap" between LOW and HD comp store sales, but that gap is narrowing.
Lowe's full year guidance was raised to $2.10 from $2.05, and same store sales for the full year were raised to 4.5 percent from 3.5 percent. One point: the company has a fairly aggressive buyback program. For example, they generated roughly $2.2 billion in free cash flow last quarter; of that, $1.2 billion was used for buybacks while an additional $174 million was paid in dividends. That aggressive program helps a lot with the bottom line.
Is this the top for home improvement? It wasn't lost on anyone that Home Depot traded down yesterday on great numbers, even as other retailers were generally up.
As with HD, Lowe's valuations are stretched: they are about 20 times forward earnings, and this remains a stock that is still perceived to be interest rate sensitive.
And there's the rub: earnings may well hold up through the year, but valuations may not!
1) It may be summer, but now is the winter of discontent for retailers. Consider what's happened in the last week, as the retail body count has stacked up in alarming fashion:
a) Today, Staples guided lower for the full year;
b) American Eagle reported earnings of ten cents, no surprise since they pre-announced on August 6th. Third quarter guidance of 14- 16 cents per share is well short of the 35 cent estimate. In CEO Robert Hanson's words: "...we faced a highly promotional and competitive retail landscape and a decline in traffic, which have continued into the third quarter;"
b) Dick's Sporting Goods had lower guidance for the third quarter;
c) Nordstrom last week said full year would be below consensus;
d) Kohls guided lower on their Q3 last year;
d) Macy's guided lower on their full year last week, and
f) Aeropostale said sales were weak.
And yet HD and LOW had great sales increases as consumers spent on big ticket items like flooring and kitchen appliances. There is clearly some shift in spending going on, away from apparel and to refurbishing.
Some of this can be attributed to the fairly weak jobs growth. Staples, for example, missed on top and bottom line; lack of full time job growth has been cited as one reason a business like office supplies is not growing. The Wall Street Journal noted that 75 percent of all jobs being created are part-time.
TJX, so far, is the lone positive among apparel retailers. Be interesting to see what Ross Stores has to say when they report tomorrow, Gap reports after the close as well.
2) Toll Brothers reported earnings of 26 cents per share, in line with consensus, but revenues of $689 million were below estimates of $695 million. New orders were up 26 percent. Deliveries of homes for the full year was narrowed to 3,925 – 4,125 units from 3,850 – 4,200 last quarter.
CEO Douglas C. Yearley said: "Sales volumes and pricing power both increased this quarter from one year ago, a pattern consistent with recent quarters. We believe the recovery is real and we are in the early stages of the rebound."

When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
WVdolphan "Ireland gets it.
And those who also get it, know that Ireland gets it. Those who are clueless are still concerned about cornfed and the running game"
WVDOLPHAN "The last thing this team should be worried about is the OC(offensive corn). When you add it all up, its really a pretty solid OC"
If his 1st read is covered he runs, just like Baylor.
Wilson's season was actually far more impressive.
---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------
Kapernick plays on a loaded offense whose #1 WR is finally getting his comfort level. He also stares down WRs alot, which is one thing Wilson doesn't do.
Russel Wilson > Kap.
Wilson also had a 100 rating, and 6 more pass TDs, and got deeper in the playoffs without a fairy offense, and he did that while being 5'9.
Russell Wilson has a top 5 D, top 5 Running game, a seam threat TE and a great offensive line not to mention very good Wrs (a true #1 in Sidney Rice)!! Its not to hard to suceed when all the pieces are in place all you have to do is be a game mananger and not turn the ball over and make some plays here and there.....If hes on a team like Miami Russel Wilson isnt even talked about this year....Tannehill should of had this team in the playoffs if it werent for Carpenter and that speaks volumes being they dont have any playmakers a below average running game and a pourous o-line...I just dont understand for the life of me these things arent brought up when comparing T-Hill to others huge diff with the circumstances.....Oh and one more thing T-Hill beat Wilson!! Thumbs Down big time on this thread next!!!
I think Moore has already said he wants to find a opportunity to start somewhere, so I don't expect him back. Devlin looked decent enough for the back-up job but there's nothing wrong with drafting competition.
