hi people, well again me. i st
hi people, well again me. i still have the same problem, which is like this. if i do a turbulent channel flow simulation i get good results with k-epsilon and reynolds stress models. if i do the same simulation with any nonlinear model i always get profils which are completely non-axissymmetric. for example all the turbulent kinetic energy is on one side and the velocity profile has its peak more near one side than on the centreline. i am wondering if someone else had a problem like this before and maybe can help me. as inlet and outlet boundary condition i chose the pressureoutlet boundary condition, because the pressure is the only thing i know.
and something else i forgott.
and something else i forgott. can plz someone tell where i can find the iplementation of y+ in openfoam. i want to change it somehow so that it is easier to get a y+ over 100 for a channel flow.
Could not resist it - I just l
Could not resist it - I just love this code:
scalar yPlus = Cmu25*turbulenceModel::y_[patchi][facei]*sqrt(k_[faceCelli])/nuw[facei];
Can it be easier?
/home/hjasak/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.2/src/turbulenceModels/incompressible/wallFun ctions/wallFunctionsI.H
yeah that part i also found...
yeah that part i also found....but how can i change it, so that the values for y+ which are calculated are a lot higher with the same grid? i am not that much into c++, i just tried to multiply the expression by a high constant. it is not really working. after changing or edditing the file do i only have to save it, or do i have to compile it?
i want to change it somehow so
i want to change it somehow so that it is easier to get a y+ over 100 for a channel flow
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I always thought that Y+ was a function of the distance of the first grid point from the wall. In other words if you need to maintain a different Y+ range, you can change your mesh accordingly. Why does anyone need to tinker with header files unless they want to modify the way it is calculated?
do i have to compile it?
Almost certainly, if you've edited any source file. You need to either build just the library that the source contributes to (*.so) or if the source is directly linked to your solver you need to rebuild your solver as well.
well here is the thing...y+ ha
well here is the thing...y+ has to be over 100 for openfoam in combination with wall functions. if you take a channel flow with water (v = e-6, Re = 10000) it is nearly impossible to get such an unfine mesh so that the wallfunctions are valid.for height of 0.2 m even if i take 10 elements it is too fine :-)
so i thought about changing the hole wallfunction-y+ implementation. but i am not sure. i think i get weird values with the nonlinear models because of the bad y+-grid combination i have. the other models seem to be unsensitive against it.
It isn't a good idea to change
It isn't a good idea to change the way Y+ is calculated. If I remember my turbulence modeling correctly, standard wall functions take care of the near-wall region and bridge the gap between k-epsilon solution in the bulk and the wall itself. So the wall functions are essentially based on some assumptions one of which is to ensure that the first resolved grid point away from the wall and should not fall in the laminar sub-layer or the buffer layer. Which means that if you change the way Y+ is calculated, you will no doubt relax some of the assumptions that were used to formulate the wall functions. Logic suggests that you will then also need to change the wall functions itself. Am I making sense here?
sure that makes sense....but f
sure that makes sense....but for example i found another standard wall function expression......i thought that this other one could work better. also y+ has to be over 40 in that one. but well maybe its also another problem why the nonlinear models are not working :-)
Hi all!
It's been a while since you wrote here but did someone find out what is wrong with the nonlinear models? Until now I did not check for the wall functions for nonlinear models but with nonlinearKEShih I also have problems. I am also trying to use them, first some tests with a boundary layer flow. The results are different from the analytical solution and I thought maybe because from the original Shih paper mentioned in the code the dirac terms, i.e. the double dot products or the gradU are not implemented. Also in the cubic I find no such terms. I think they are responsible to make the contraction of the resulting Re-stress tensor equal to 2/3 k but I am not exactly sure if it can cause this behaviour mentioned here before.
Did someone have the same feeling when comparing with the paper?

By far, the number one tourist attraction in Rochester, this museum does not disappoint. It's all in the name: the 'Museum of Play' is all about playtime for the kid in everyone. Toys, games, and numerous entertainment pieces that span the history of play items for kids. Parents bring their children from all over the globe to come see how kids played over the years, as well as to see their favorite playtime characters, like Big Bird and the gang from Sesame Street. A must-see museum!
If you're looking for something a bit more Eastern United States-historic, take a trip to the George Eastman mansion. Eastman was an engineer and lover of photography, and so his mansion now stands as a museum of modern photography, the oldest of its kind. It houses countless photographs, antiques, and one-of-a-kind film.
This is your daddy's amusement park, it's actually one of the oldest ones in New York. There's plenty of fun to be had at this fully-functional interactive museum, though. Bring the kids and show them how roller-coasters and amusement park rides used to be when their parents were kids. The rides here are simple, but deceptively thrilling, even if they don't boast top speeds of 60 mph like the ones made nowadays. They even have some great water rides, and nobody gets tired of splashing each other in the face, no matter how old they are.
Most people rank this zoo second only to the Brooklyn Zoo in New York. It has a great variety of apes, elephants, rhinos, and birds. There are even polar bears and penguins to get frosty with at Seneca. The layout of the zoo is easy to navigate and filled with plenty of accessible ramps, benches, and friendly staff to make the trip enjoyable for everyone.
This museum is more than just science descriptions and stationary exhibits. At Rochester's Museum and Science Center you get to play with science. You can shoot laser beams, take a trip into outer space, make your own robot, and dig up science like an archaeologist. There's so much to do here that you might have to take two trips to see and do everything.

Anthony Rizzo is one of only four players from the Chicago Cubs who will be participating in the World Baseball Classic, the third instance of the international baseball competition. Rizzo will be playing for Italy, as he is of Italian heritage.
The other participants from the Cubs organization have yet to play in the MLB. Ryan Searle, who spent the majority of the 2012 baseball season playing for the Cubs' A-ball affiliate, will pitch for Australia. Yao-Lin Wang and Hung-Wen Chen will both play for Chinese Taipei, the official name in sports given to the team from Taiwan.
Chen, Searle, and Wang are all prospects in the Cubs system, and are unlikely to be seen in the MLB any time in 2013. Rizzo is the only big leaguer from the Cubs to participate. In previous World Baseball Classics, Michael Barrett, Derrek Lee, Henry Blanco, Carlos Zambrano, Kosuke Fukudome, Ted Lilly, Alex Maestri, Carlos Marmol, Vince Perkins, and Geovany Soto have all represented their countries and the Chicago Cubs in the event.
Some critics don't like the idea of the classic, as they suspect that it takes too much out of players, especially pitchers. A player of any sport's highest honor should be seen as participating in an international competition representing your country. Hopefully, people will eventually start to see the World Baseball Classic the same way the Olympics are seen in other sports. At the very least, it is a higher level competition for stars to get their at-bats in before the regular season gets rolling. The classic starts in March.

Dear Alec,(I swear I'm not usually this insane, sorry.) We're starting with you because I'm angry as hell and I think I get it all out on a place where you can't say shit. So here we go.
You told me you would never, ever hurt me or lie to me or push me to do things I didn't want to do. And I believed you. But now look where we are, all because you're a sorry dick.
I was getting comfortable with you. Even though you screwed up a few times, it was okay. But now it's too much. You told me you had serious feelings for me. You told me you cared about me and if we didn't live so far apart, you would date me.
But then I find out ALLLLLLLLLLLLL this shit about you and, well, screw you, to put it lightly.
Not only did your EX tell me all the stuff you were saying to her while we were "talking," but you told me some stuff too. Oh, like maybe the same day you told me I was the only girl you wanted, your EX was sending me screenshots of you talking about wanting to be in bed with her. Not only did you repeatedly ask me for nudes even after I said stop, but you went ahead and sent me a dick pic. Because that's DEFINITELY what I wanted. Not only did I find out FROM YOU that you had, in you words, "six other side hoes waiting for you," but you proceeded to tell me you loved me after that.
Bitch NOOOOOOOOOO. Then, you told me that you met this girl who you had "hella feelings for" and she was "super gorgeous." You told me you wouldn't like me the same after that. You told me I was more of a sister. But THEN you went to tell me that if it didn't work out, you would come back to me.
But I didn't trust you. You proceeded to tell me how stupid I was for feeling so hurt over it. But maybe you should think about the shit you did to me leading up to that. I was hurt because of ALLLLL of it.
AND THEN you denied ever saying in the first place that you would come back BUT I HAVE SCREENSHOTS HOE KISS MY ASS.
ANNND THENNN I wrote you this super long paragraph about why I hated you and then you just said "Oh." OHHHHH YOURSELF BACK TO HELL BITCH.
And then I sent you this thing saying "f you" for everything you did to me, and you said "f you for being so butt hurt."
NO. You don't get to be mad at be for being hurt when you've been an ass to me since the day we started talking.
No, f*ck you. Kiss my ass, damn hoe. Go to hell. I hope you're happy, because that won't last long. Karma's a bitch, so keep barking up the same tree because you're soon going to find out to not treat people like shit. Bye bitch love ya never

It's dirty work – Trail building
From today (Monday 22nd), the FC are extending the diversion as the harvesting contractors are making swift progress and have now using the same track as the existing diversion. This will turn into a bigger mud bath than it already is with the forwarder making deep ruts.
The last two Sundays have seen us make a start on improving the drainage to the many berms on the Dog and Monkey. To do a proper job, we're cutting a channel through the wall of the berm and installing a 150mm diameter drainage pipe to carry water from the sump well away from the trail.
Next Sunday, we'll be making a start on the seven berms or should that be swimming pools in Tackeroo.

This article appears in the Dec. 28 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
POPPIN' OFF: The double cork 1080 is the season's hot new snowboard trick, particularly among U.S. riders duking it out for the four spots on the Olympic halfpipe team. Shaun White first landed the seriously spectacular move -- a triple-spinning, off-axis double backflip -- in March at his secret training halfpipe in Silverton, Colo. Then, in August, Louie Vito became the first to nail it in competition, at the New Zealand Open. Now, fellow Olympic hopefuls Luke Mitrani, Danny Davis, Kevin Pearce and Scotty Lago are perfecting frontside, backside and back-to-back variations. All will go cork-crazy at Grand Prix contests in Mammoth, Calif. (Jan. 8-10), and Park City, Utah (Jan. 22-23).

I have yet to master the art of keeping fresh produce in a household of one. Thankfully, there is always baking to the rescue. One particular afternoon, a bowl of shiny, red apples stared at me from the kitchen table, begging to be eaten before they were too far gone. I happened to have enough pie crust dough (thawing in the fridge) for something … even if it was something small.
I was able to bake three (two for me, and one for a close friend) apple galettes, shaped like mini envelopes with cinnamon-dusted fruit bursting from the inside. They may have been tiny, but the taste was mighty. Just one or two bites can show someone, including yourself, a little love and care.
Sometimes, mini is the best size when it comes to desserts. One tiny serving can make the most of a special ingredient, encourage a moment just for you, and create a little food gift love. Here are five recipes to get you on your mini way.
Meyer Lemon Mini Cannoli Cups: This mini take on the classic Italian dessert packs a light, bright flavor in every bite.
Sweet Summer Tartlets: Showcase your favorite fruit on these petite desserts at your next food gathering and have your friends reaching for more.
Moscato Sabayon and Berries: This treat will count as your daily dose of fruit. The wine will be our little secret.
Saffron Panna Cotta with Spiced Pecans: Sometimes all you want is the cream. For those moments, this is the perfect mini dessert.
Rustic Apple Custard Pies with Walnut Crust: Mini jars are already adorable, so wait until you see them filled with apple pie. This recipe is super easy, and the results are irresistible.

A US judge has issued a bench warrant against rapper, Tyga, following his refusal to appear in court for a hearing.
The rapper was expected to show up for the hearing following the non-payment of a settlement ordered in favour of a landlord who claimed he (Tyga) damaged the apartment which he rented to him.
His delay in making the payment led to a court date where he was meant to answer questions about where he was hiding his assets.
According to TMZ, the landlord is angry over recent reports that the rapper bought his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner a $200,000 car for her birthday.
He feels this amount should have been used to serve the payment he was ordered to make by the court of law.
The rapper now faces a high possibility of being incarcerated.

You can do whatever you. What is the purpose of your analyses?
Hello! New to the forum here and looking for help.
I have 3 separate "Urban" monitoring locations. 10 observations were made at each location.
Is it possible to combine the observations from the separate locations so I would have 30 total observations in this one "Urban" group? Is it then possible to calculate the mean concentration based on these 30 samples even if they were from 3 different locations? And lastly, would it be possible to compare the mean (or other statistic) from these combined observations to another group (for example, 15 observations made at only 1 "rural" site)?
Thank you all for your help!
You can do whatever you. What is the purpose of your analyses?
Stop cowardice, ban guns!
The purpose would be to combine the the 10 observations that were taken at each of the "Urban" sites so that I have 30 total observations to work with instead of 10 at each site. This way the statistics are better (ex. confidence intervals, estimates of the mean, etc.). But would that be ok to do or do I need to keep the "Urban" observations separate since they were taken from 3 separate sites?

These photos are from day one of my vacation.. flying to miami. Before heading to the islands we stayed the first night in Miami at our friends place along the river in Brickell. The top photo was right after we got out of the taxi, my traveling outfit. Always opt for something comfy. Wearing a black maxi skirt from LF, a plain tee from BB Dakota, a BCBG hat and of course my Pendleton computer bag. We landed, went straight to lunch at one of my favorite places.. Perricones, took a little nap then went out for dinner and dancing with a bunch of friends. The long black dress I wore to dinner I borrowed from one of my best friends, Caroline (also in the picture.) The dress was her great grandmothers.. famed fashion editor Diana Vreeland. How cool is that?!?!? It's so simple, chic and elegant. Love it.
Right now I'm on my friends boat in Harbour Island, Bahamas. The bottom picture was taken about 5 minutes ago. Casually drinking a mimosa/ working on a second post I'll post later today from the first day here on the island. (I'll try to, but all my friends are yelling at me to get off the computer as we speak.) Haha they don't understand blogging.

I am the first born in a family of four children. I am a mentor and role model to my siblings. I am an alumna of Akili Dada's Young Changemakers Program and of Precious Blood Secondary School. I am a woman empowered to make a difference in society. I am Nyatichi Michelle Buyaki.
I grew up in Nairobi and right from the beginning, my parents strived to give me the best education they could afford. I was taught the importance of education at a very young age and this has seen me through my years of school. I recently graduated from Precious Blood with an 'A' grade of 84 points. The constant mentorship and guidance from those around me has molded me into who I am today.
Akili Dada, a leadership incubator for young African women, has been a big part of my life. I joined Akili Dada in form 2 purely on the mentorship program and a year later became a scholar. Akili Dada has transformed my life in very many ways some of which I did not realize until I graduated from high school. Akili Dada has opened doors for me to meet the changemakers of society today and interact with them on different occasions.
Akili Dada did not only give me a scholarship in high school, but has (and continues to) shape me through the leadership academies and all the activities that do not just build character, but also inspire change in society. Through Akili Dada, I have learned the importance of community service and the impact it has in achieving our visions and goals in society. On a personal level, I have participated in numerous community service projects, including the setting up of a library and volunteer teaching in local schools. This is one aspect of leadership that I have embraced and continue to build on as I find and create my path.
The commendable spirit of sisterhood that we share at Akili Dada has enabled us to appreciate our diversity and work together towards creating a better world. We respect and listen to each other while holding each other and ourselves accountable for doing our very best in every aspect of our lives.
It is vividly clear that our pasts do not define us, and given an opportunity like the one I received through Akili Dada, we can leave prints on the surface of this earth. I look forward to pursuing computer engineering in university once I complete my internship at the Akili Dada office.
Through this life of mine, I will carry the spirit of inspiring change in the best way I can. As we way, "Once a Dada, always a Dada."

Opposed to idealism in philosophy, art, etc. In reference to scholastic doctrine of Thomas Aquinas (opposed to nominalism) it is recorded from 1826.

Materialism and naturalism are forms of realism. The term realism is also used to describe a movement in literature that attempts to portray life as it is.
An attempt to make art and literature resemble life. Realist painters and writers take their subjects from the world around them (instead of from idealized subjects, such as figures in mythology or folklore) and try to represent them in a lifelike manner.

Hi, I am Connie Maguire and I am the elected Town Clerk/Tax Collector for the Town of Parishville since January 2006. I am also the Record's Management Officer for my town as well as a Notary Public. I am currently serving my second term as the District 9 Director for the New York State Municipal Clerk's Association.
Before that I was Deputy Town Clerk for 3 years for Retired Town Clerk Shirley Robinson. I am a graduate of Parishville Hopkinton Central School and am a Licensed Practical Nurse having graduated from Seaway Area Tech. I worked for a few years in the Potsdam Nursing Home right after graduation.
After needing a change from nursing, I worked in the retail field for 29 ½ years as a Pharmacy Clerk, Department Head, Office Clerical and as an Assistant Manager for the Fays Drugs chain (which later became known as Eckerd Drugs). When my children were in school I was active in school functions and helping in the classrooms. I have been involved in Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts with my children as well. I am the Treasurer of the Parishville Historical Association and am involved in the Parishville Garden Club. I enjoy working with my residents and was very involved in the planning and execution of the Bicentennial Celebration for the Town of Parishville in 2014.
I still live in Parishville in the home my grandparents lived in their entire married life. I have been married to my husband Dan for 34 years. I have two grown children, Kelly and Danny both who both live and work nearby. So far, I have 3 grand dogs with hopes of grandchildren in the near future.

Plush Meat Products and T-Shirts
Get Your Own Sweet Meat
There's something really fun about having a pillow shaped like a huge hambone. This is thinking of the folks behind Sweet Meats, an online pillow creator and retailer. Their sweet meats are available in several different types — including hambone, porky chop, and racka ribs — and they even sell instructions on how to make your own. Personally I'm a big fan of the t-shirt. What meat lover wouldn't want a cute pink tee with the words "Meat is Sweet" ($14.99) emblazoned on it?
This year I saw their booth at Maker Faire, and while it wasn't the first time I'd seen them, I wanted to make sure you got to see them too.
So tell me, would you bring sweet meat into your home?

The definition of the "ideal" beauty changes over time. These days, fashion magazines portray beautiful women with luscious tans and long flowing hair as the ideal beauty to many modern women. As such, women do their best to imitate this ideal with tanning beds, cosmetics and hair extensions. The imitation is not much different now than it was in Elizabethan times.
High hairline, perfectly arched brows and bright eyes were also standards of Elizabethan beauty. Many plucked their eyebrows and their hairline back at least an inch to give that aristocratic look of the fashionable high forehead. Kohl was used to outline eyes, and sometimes, women used belladonna to brighten their eyes.
Women strove to achieve fair hair by dying their hair. One substance (by today's standards, completely disgusting) used was urine. Those who could not achieve the fair look typically wore wigs. Wigs were also used for those who went bald or to simplify their lives rather than dealing with their own hair. The hair styles varied, but the tightly curled front was the most popular.
Queen Elizabeth I was the guiding image of ideal beauty. She set the standard that many women of her time tried to imitate. No other queen in English history had such an impact on fashion as her.

What does the Radavist mean?
Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST
Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike to shredding the trails on full suspension. Take the time to get rad.

WALTHAM The Boston Celtics are in a 2-0 series hole to the Miami Heat.
The only time a Celtics team has rallied from such a deficit to win a series was in 1969, a team that featured Hall of Famer John Havlicek . . . who just so happened to be at the Celtics practice facility on Thursday.
"John shows up when he thinks we need him," quipped coach Doc Rivers. "John just shows up. He's great. I love having him around."
Coincidence or not, his timing could not be better.
While the Celtics continue to maintain that they are confident that they can get back into their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with Miami, it can only help to hear words of encouragement from a Celtics legend who has actually been there and done that.
"I love when all those guys come around," Rivers said. "Hell, I wish they'd come to every practice. I just think they got more stories, more truthful stories . . . " and with a glance towards the championship banners that hang on the walls, Rivers added, "and the history is above them. It's always good when they (Celtics legends) come around."
The 1969 Celtics trailed the Los Angeles Lakers 2-0 in the NBA Finals. After losing both road games, the Celtics returned home to win Games 3 and 4. They lost Game 5 in Los Angeles, and bounced back to win Game 6 in Boston and closed out the series with a 108-106 Game 7 win in Los Angeles.
The game-winning basket in Game 7 was scored by former Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson.
"We always felt that if we could just get healthy, we could beat anybody we played," Nelson told CSNNE.com.
Here we are, 42 years later, and some things remain the same.

When Your Eyelashes Turn in and Rub your Eye
What is Entropion?
My mother has been bothered for quite some time by her eyelids, which have turned in on themselves and now the edges of her lower lid and lashes rub against her eye. I had no idea this was even a condition until I googled it and came up with not only a specific diagnosis but also a name: Entropion.
Symptoms of Entropion
As you can imagine, this is an extremely irritating condition which causes inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva (the transparent layer which covers the white of your eye and lines your eyelids, much like the membrane lining an eggshell). Apart from irritated eyes (it usually feels like sand or grit is in your eye) you can actually see your eyelids turning in. You may also experience a discharge or pus coming from your eye.
Causes of Entropion
There are four different types of Entropion
- Congenital Entropion: Some people are born with this disease of the eye, though it's extremely rare. It usually begins to manifest in children with some sort of facial paralysis and generally only affects the lower lids.
- Acute Spastic Entropion: Is common after eye surgery, trauma, or eye infections, but can occur without them as well. It's caused by the spastic tightening of the muscles surrounding the eye. A lot of these patients also have a component of involutional entropion as well.
- Involutional Entropion: This manifestation of entropion is also sometimes referred to as senile entropion (and it's the one my mother is most likely to have. Needless to say, she was not thrilled with the name) because it mostly occurs in older people and only affects the lower lids. It's, unfortunately, due to the changes that occur to the muscles and tendons surrounding the eye when you age.
- Cicatrical Entropion: This form of entropion is caused by scratches on the surface of the conjunctiva. These can come from chemical burns, improper healing of scar tissue, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, chronic infections or even a bad reaction to topical medicines.
Diagnostic Considerations of Entropion
Your doctor will first need to determine that you do indeed have entropion and not another form of eye disease. There are several that can be mistaken for entropion because of similar symptoms however, treatment is different. These are:
- Trichiasis: is actually a fairly common malady of the eye with very similar symptoms to entropion.
- Epiblepharon: This is a congenital disease of the eye affecting the muscles and skin.
- Eyelid Retraction: A tightening of the eye muscles.
How to Correct Entropion
Sometimes the disease will actually spontaneously correct itself, however, more often, some sort of intervention is needed. This will depend on the type of entropion that you have but options include:
- The most successful form of therapy is surgery, however...
- Eye Drops to help lubricate the eye can help to protect the ocular surface and may also break the cycle in patients with spastic entropion due to dry eye syndrome.
- Antibiotics and Corticosteroids can be useful in treating autoimmune diseases that affect the eye such as Blepharitis, which may cause spastic entropion.
- Botox is also especially useful in treating spastic entropion.
- Some patients with cicatricial entropion are treated with chemo therapy.
"When you think there's nothing like the patient to show you how to do your surgery, then this book appears with amazingly realistic pictures to help you through every aspect of your next day's case. It's very helpful and easy to use." Customer Review
"Gelatt has produced the definitive text which is without doubt a magnum opus. It is, however, very long and somewhat repetitive since the same topic is covered in several chapters rather than having one place to which all other chapters refer. This is good if you are revising from it, since it forces you to read slightly different accounts of the same material but not good if you want a quick reference which tells you all you need to know. Different chapters don't always agree and the index doesn't always lead you to each entry for a subject (take ligneous conjunctivitis for example which isn't in the index at all). There are some outright mistakes (keratin where it really means keratan in the cornea chapter for instance) which is a shame in a text that will be the definitive text for years to come. Neverthless every veterinary ophthalmologist will need to buy it - but veterinary surgeons in practice might find it a bit to much to be really useful unless they wanted to really research a topic in great detail. Having said all that this is the place to go if you want to know what's right up to date in veterinary ophthalmology, for basic science, canine ophthalmology in depth, feline, equine, exotic and lab animal, even poultry ophthalmology. If it is known at present it's in there!" Customer Review
Self Help and Temporary Relief of Entropion
Sometimes you can use surgical tape to pull the eyelids away from the eye (your doctor may even try this) but, for obvious reasons, this is only for temporary relief of symptoms.
Veterinary Entropion
Dogs and cats can be affected by entropion as well. In fact, it's actually fairly common in certain breeds of dogs such as the Bloodhound, Bulldog, Retrievers, Chow Chow, Rottweiler, and Shar Pei. With cats, less so though certain short faced breeds of cats such as Burmese, Persian and Maine Coon can be affected. Normally, cats who do acquire feline entropion do so later in life as a result of an injury or, more commonly, a manifestation of the herpes virus.
The symptoms are very similar to those in humans.
Surgery is the corrective treatment of choice for dogs and cats, just as with humans. Though, you should wait until your puppy is at least six months old to ensure that the eyes have developed enough. If you don't have your pet's entropion corrected, it can eventually cause corneal ulceration, pigmentation, and scarring which may cause blindness.
The American Kennel Association doesn't allowing showing of dogs with "cosmetic surgery," and they classify entropion surgery as cosmetic, though if your dog has been diagnosed with spastic entropion then you will be able to breed it.
If you suspect that you, or someone you know has this disease, the best course of action is swift diagnosis and treatment by an eye specialist.

My 8 year old daughter had Steven Johnson syndrome at age of 2 years. After 2 years of sjs she had entropion on both her eyes. Now after 6 surgeries for correcting entropion some of her eyelashes still turning invards needs some more surgery. If you have any solution please help
Entropion has got to be extremely uncomfortable. I went 3 months with an irritating tickle in my left eye and I couldn't figure out what the problem was. One day while staring at in the mirror the light hit my eye just right and I saw an invisible / thin strand of hair growing from my eye lid curling into my eye.
As soon as I removed it there was instant relief. I can not image having MULTIPLE eyelashes constantly rubbing the inside of my eye.
Great job on this hub!

Property consists of a 2.94 acre site located at 712 Highway 82 West in the central area of the city of Greenwood, Mississippi. The site is improved with 5 buildings that consist of a total of 34,200 square feet. See below for more detail. Local Agent: Sonny Bowie Bowie Realty, Inc. 502 E Jeff Davis Greenwood, MS 38930 email@example.com (662) 453-1430 home (662) 455-9333 office (662) 392-5562 cell - Area description: The general area in which the subject site is located is east central Leflore County, which is in the eastern section of the rich alluvial Mississippi Delta. The Delta is primarily an agricultural area which extends to Vicksburg, Mississippi on the South, to Memphis, Tennessee on the North and extends from the Mississippi River easterly approximately 50 miles. This homogeneous area of natural resources together with its economic, political, and social history separates itself from other areas of the state. There is little difference in the topography anywhere in the Delta. It is all one large alluvial valley, rich in nutrients and ideal for agricultural use. Leflore County has naturally developed principally as an agricultural area. It ranks among the top counties in the nation in both cotton production and total farm income. Excellent yields of soybeans and rice are produced along with wheat and feed grains. Greenwood, the county seat, is located at the intersection of U. S. Highway 82 and U. S. Highway 49. Other highways in the Greenwood area include Mississippi State Highway 7, which runs north off of Highway 82 into Grenada County. The nearest commercial airport is the Mid-Delta Regional Airport, approximately 52 miles west in Greenville, Mississippi. Railroads in Greenwood include the Columbus & Greenville & the Illinois Central. Greenwood's nearest full service port is the Port of Greenwood, which is located on the Yazoo River Waterway. Greenwood is approximately 96 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi, the state capital and 130 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. It is approximately 25 miles west of U. S. Interstate 55, which runs north and south through the entire length of the state of Mississippi. According to the Mississippi Development Authority, in 2000 Greenwood had a population of 18,425, but in 2010 it had decreased to 15,205. The 2000 population for Leflore County was 37,947, while in 2010 it had decreased to 32,317. These population decreased are common throughout the delta area. According to the local area Chamber of Commerce, the area around Greenwood has a labor force of approximately 56,000. Of this amount, 15,880 are in Leflore County. Greenwood has always been considered a hub of industrial activity. Its five largest manufacture employers are Viking Range, with 500 employees, Hartland Catfish Company, with 420 employees, America's Catch, Inc., with 350 employees, the John Richard Company, with 350 employees, and J. J. Ferguson Sand & Gravel, Inc., with 350 employees. From our study of this area, we have concluded that Greenwood offers a very desirable industrial and commercial atmosphere. The subject's immediate area consists primarily of Highway 82 West in central Greenwood. This general area is one block south of the Yazoo River and Greenwood-Leflore County Hospital, and ten blocks west of downtown Greenwood. Downtown Greenwood has seen some revitalization over the past ten years. Viking Industries has remodeled several buildings in the area. There are fewer vacant buildings in the area than in recent years, and property values have stabilized. This area is the Central Business District and is the oldest developed area of Greenwood. It consists of buildings approximately 100 years old, and uses including the Leflore County Courthouse, professional offices, restaurants, retail, and the Viking headquarters. The subject's immediate area of Highway 82 consists of a mixture of commercial uses including hotels, restaurants, and commercial retail. It has a good location with good access, visibility, and exposure. There are no undesirable adjoining properties. Please refer to the area and market map to better visualize this description. - Number of buildings: 5 - Building condition: Average

The majority of Britons think sweeping spending cuts unveiled last week will hit the poor hardest, a poll showed on Tuesday, in a blow to the government's claims that the austerity measures are fair.
The survey by pollster ICM for newspaper The Guardian found that 52 percent of those quizzed believe the cuts will be unfair while 44 percent agree that the government has done a good job of spreading the pain evenly.
In the poll, some 48 percent said they thought the cuts went too far, while 36 percent thought the balance was right and eight percent wanted the cuts to go further.
In July, a total of 55 percent of people thought the balance was right or the cuts should go further, according to the paper.
George Osborne, finance minister in the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, last Wednesday unveiled the cuts that will cost 490,000 jobs, slash government budgets by around a fifth and take the axe to the welfare state.
He has insisted they are "fair choices" and will hit the rich hardest.
But a leading economic think-tank, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, warned cuts to the benefit system would on average have a greater effect on the poor than on the wealthy.
For Tuesday's poll, ICM interviewed a random sample of 1,002 adults aged over 18 by telephone on October 22-24.

Noida, India (PressExposure) March 19, 2012 -- Access databases can be encrypted but if you lose the password, there are no means to access it. But don't worry; now there is a way. Kernel Data Recovery, a leading software brand specializing in recovery tools, has an excellent software program for Microsoft access password recovery. In MS Access, loosing password is equivalent to losing the data. However, Kernel for Access Password Recovery is an exceptional tool with a unique approach.
Data security parameters shouldn't deceit you but at times you can become a victim of your own trap. Yes, if you lose or forget the password of Access databases, there is no way out. Since, Access databases don't provide a way to recover the lost password or regenerate a new password without opening the database, remembering the password is extremely important. But if you have Kernel for Access Password Recovery software, the case can be different as lost passwords can be quickly recovered. Use it to recover lost or forgotten passwords from all versions of Microsoft Access password-protected database files (*.mdb).
Access reads a workgroup information file, where each user is identified by a unique identification code. The level of access and the objects access level are determined based on this identification code or password. This password can be set with User-Level Security Wizard. The .mdb files stores this password using strong encryption algorithms. You can't even remove the database password if you do not know the password. This MS access password recovery software recursively scans the password protected database file and generates the actual password instantly. Use the recovered password to open the Access files and now you can either keep them unprotected or reuse encryption methods.
This MS access password recovery tool supports multilingual password recovery. Passwords of any length and with any combinations can be easily recovered. Thus, passwords with numeric, alpha-numeric and Unicode character embedded encoding can also be easily retrieved. The tool instantly scans the file and displays the password.
Free Trial Version:
You can check the authenticity and potentials of this amazing software with the free trial version. This evaluation version can be tried as many times as you wish but it displays only two characters of the password. However, at times a simple hint is enough to let you recall a password. If you want the recover the full password then the paid will certainly provide immediate rescue. Find more about the software at http://www.msaccesspasswordrecovery.net
Supported Versions:
Supports recovery of passwords from Microsoft Access 95/97/2000/XP/2003 databases (mdb).

I Have had AMAZING support from friends and Family , Like I never expected. BUT Other friends (and Yes family too) Dropped me like a Hot Potato just after Dx. They were all "Oh I'm Sooooooooo Sorry, keep in touch, let me know if we can do anything.... etc, etc" Then..
Dec 17, 2008 - 5:06 pm
I believe that is a common experience. I still have hurt feelings from the slights from some friends and relatives (some not all, I should make that clear.) Some people can't deal with cancer; it could happen to them, too. They are afraid. I try to be compassionate but it still hurts. The main thing is to make sure you never, never treat anyone with cancer like that because you know how it feels. I don't think you will.
Dec 17, 2008 - 5:30 pm
Hi Tasha, Like Dream said it does seem to be a common experience for most of us who have had the big diagnosis and I agree with all she said as to why that seems to happen. A lot of people really just simply don't know what the heck to say or do so they disappear, probably not expecting to stay away forever but never quite know how to react with us so just keep putting off contact til alot of time has passed. Others I guess see their own mortality in our diagnosis and can't face that, who knows. For me I know that I used to be known as the life of the party, had a pretty normal life and was without alot of baggage and so it was 'easier' to be with me but once I was diagnosed all of a sudden some people saw me as 'different' now with a serious situation on my hands and that was all they needed to just simply stay away - again though I think it was that they just simply didn't know how to deal with me anymore, like it wasn't me now or something. It's odd. However, I have to say that I do understand that way of thinking to some extent because even now after I have talked to alot of survivors it is still hard for me to know what to say and I know so much more about it from both angles, that of the survivor myself and from others who are dealing with it now. It's always hard to know what to say because you never know where the person is in it all. Try and not take it personally if you can, I know it hurts, but be assured that those who stand by you are the ones you want to keep anywho. My best support then actually turned out to be a stranger who reached out to help when she heard of my diagnosis and we have been fast friends ever since, over 20 years. Like the saying goes 'when God closes a door he opens a window'. I hope some of that made sense. Blessings Tasha and remember you always have friends on this site, please feel free to call me one of them if you choose too. Hugs. Blueroses.
Dec 17, 2008 - 6:09 pm
"We" remind them of their own vulnerability. People go through life never thinking that something like cancer could ever happen to them, then someone like them whom they know gets cancer and they begin to realize, "If it could happen to him/her, it could happen to me!" "We" are the cold hard slap of reality reminding them that no one in immune from serious illness or other life "challenges". The same thing often happens to newly divorced people when their "happily" married couple-friends stop calling.
Love and Courage!
Dec 17, 2008 - 6:42 pm
Blueroses you said it right, heck you'd think it was contageous by email! I can't believe these so called friends...............RICK.....I was divorced and got the same, My so called "Happily married couple friends" suddenly wanted nothing to do with me, especially those who were insecure in their marriage........Those who really were happily married, well they were great.. I was friends with a few of the husbands and a couple of the wives, I was a church bell-ringer...But once I was alone..........hey different story here. I soon learned who had a good marriage and who was scared of a 42 year old blond with NO interest in men at all!..I would rather have had friends. Luv J XXXXX
Dec 17, 2008 - 10:36 pm
I'd rather have people in my life who truely care about me anyway. Even if that means I have to be alone. I recently read the book "Gilda's Disease." It was about ovarian cancer (which I had) and Gilda Radner. Gene Wilder was married to her when she went thru it and stuck by her even though it must have been very difficult at times. He even mentioned in a book he wrote that it had been a struggle being with her at times. Thank God she had someone like him in her life!
Dec 18, 2008 - 7:09 am
People stopped calling when they learned I had cancer, then I got divorced and the couples we occasionally spent time with, ignored both of us. Finally, after my brother committed suicide, those who should have been supportive, became too "busy" to get together anymore.
If any of the above could have happened in "their" lives, maybe they should have gotten a could physical and psychological check-up and consult a good marriage counselor? I was not the fault, I was the result of life's many challenges.
Love and Courage!
Dec 18, 2008 - 9:25 am
Hey Rick, I wonder what the stats are on divorce after cancer? I had the double whammy of cancer twice and then the eventual divorce. I guess it would be hard to count exactly how many offshoot whammies there were after both the cancer and the divorce with side effects, loss of mutual friends yada yada. For some, challenges like cancer only strengthen their relationships but I guess those relationships were much stronger to begin with or the cancer forced the two to wake up and see what was truly important. For the others, not so much I guess. For me it was a weak relationship to begin with I later realized. Just when we need support the most it is lost along with our health but in many ways I find it easier without all the hastles and stresses of a marriage gone wrong. Everything for a reason, eh?
I found though, as I said earlier in another posting here, that strangers started to come into my life to help - right out of the blue, and one in fact after finding out of my diagnosis (we were strangers til then)is still my friend 20 years later. Blessings to all.
Dec 18, 2008 - 1:30 pm
Thank you all, maybe I understand a little better now. It still Hoses me off but I guess I've learned who my REAL friends are. J x
Dec 18, 2008 - 1:48 pm
You sure do learn some different names for certain things, depending on where in the world you live. Never heard the phrase 'hoses me off' before, lol, but I like it. I was looking for a new way to say 'ticks me off' so there you go, you learn something new everyday online, lol. On a more serious note Tasha, hope we have been able to shed some light on your problem with friends bugging off after they knew of your cancer but really in the end like you said you have learned who your real friends truly are. Hugs.
Dec 18, 2008 - 5:30 pm
I read that the divorce rate was as high as 76% among families where cancer has occurred. This was when the divorce rate for the general population was at 50%. The majority of people in my circle of friends and acquaintances are those whom I met since my divorce and most of them have been divorced. In a lot of ways, my "journey" has helped me deal realistically with lowered expectations and fewer demands of myself or others.
Love and Courage!
Dec 18, 2008 - 7:16 pm
When I look back at the relationship I had while going thru cancer, I think I should have ended it right away when I first found out instead of ending it a couple of months after chemo was finished. It would have saved me alot of pain and anxiety. His behavior towards me had changed and he no longer spoke of our future together. As a matter of fact, the first time I came over to his house when I was well enough after the surgery, he told me that he had told his daughter (she was 8) that the reason I was at his house was because I was sick and he felt sorry for me! That it was similiar to her mother when she took someone into her house that was going thru a hard time after her divorce. Another time a single neighbor lady of his came over and flirted with him right in front of me. I was standing there wearing my cancer scarf. I guess she must have thought I was "just" a friend of his. But all in all, that relationship very likely would not have worked out anyway. He had too many issues and I was having alot of trouble dealing with them as much as I tried. I wasn't loved and I knew it!
Dec 18, 2008 - 7:43 pm
So sorry Dream that you had to go through all of that on top of the cancer. I too had my marriage break down, not the same way you did but the ending was the same - it ended. And with it went any support of course that I had which has been quite hard. I didn't see the end coming til it was right in my face, long story, so it was a real shock that I don't really think I am quite over. Actually I think I had a form of PTSD over it all in the end from how it all evolved after a couple of incidents that woke me up to what my ex was truly up to. I do remember a similar scene though, in it all, when I too realized that I wasn't love and I knew it but the trauma was that he lied right up til the end which made it so much harder for me. Gee it seems unfair that we have to deal with the cancer and all that brings and then another slam with a broken relationship, it's unreal how strong the human body and spirit truly is to cope with all of that and still come out on the other side - walking a bit slower perhaps, but surviving.
Dec 18, 2008 - 7:39 pm
Isn't that interesting. Thanks for the data. I do think you have a point about the 'journey' waking one up to dealing more realistically with lowered expectations and with making fewer demands on oneself and others. Makes alot of sense.
Dec 19, 2008 - 11:30 am
Trying to brighten up the day...
As One of our well known (several times divorced) English comedians said... "I'll not bother with marriage or divorce again, Just find someone you don't like and buy them a house"
Hugs Julia
Dec 19, 2008 - 10:10 pm
I, also, have had occasions when things in my life separated the real friends from the not so real friends in my life. I have to admit the ones I lost due to a dx of cancer hurt the most though.
Dec 20, 2008 - 8:42 am
I personally think that the friend who drifted away when she found out you had cancer and whose Mother had succumbed to it might have had a hard time of going through it all again with you. It might have been a constant reminder to her of what her Mum went through so I am sure it wasn't personal. Probably couldn't bear seeing it all again. Interesting about what you said about it being God's way of filtering out the riff raff in our lives, in some cases that might well be true. Hope the holiday season finds you and yours feeling well and happy. Blessings, Blueroses.
Dec 20, 2008 - 4:40 pm
Terato, you sure hit the nail on the head! It upsets people to know others with an illness or disability. Basically they don't want to deal with it in their head or physically with interacting with that person.
You really learn about a person's maturity and for lack of a better word "guts" when this comes up. I wonder if it has anything to do with after WWII parent's attitude toward their children? Shielding them from stuff and overcompensating? Course I work with others "younguns" who have no clue about life and mommy & daddy are always there to bail them out. The roses have not grown thorns for them yet. One gal on this website had a question about telling "dates" she had cancer. Course there is a time and place for that but heck I'd tell em and weed out the "not guts" right from the start. :)
Course life socked me when I was 13 when my dad became disabled so my attitude is different than a lot of folks I know. Maybe I just matured early. Sad to say, it seems like some people never mature and you'all's comments seem to agree with that.
