Mate, i just bought a new pair of Webs from the Market
by Steven Kirkpatrick September 25, 2007

The web is a drinking game played by the most American of Americans (THE AMERICANISTS.) The beautiful game traces its humble beginnings to Spokane, WA and Gonzaga University. To play the web coffee cups need to be set up on a quarter friendly table and after the ceremonial web chant, the action begins. The chant must be of a sufficient nature to scare little children. Each player attempts to bounce their quarter in a cup. If the quarter lands in the cup on the first attempt, the player may pass in either direction. The goal is to lap an inferior quarter bouncer. Upon lapping them, they have been officially webbed. If the person on the other side of the inferior quarter bouncer make it on the first try they can web the person again. The game is traditionally played with three cups but depending on the number of players 3 is not uncommon. Further, 4 and 5 cup games have been attempted with mixed success. The individual being webbed, must drink out or puke out. This rule is strictly enforced and any web game that doesn't observe this rule is no web at all. The web usually results in crunkness. The importance of patriotism and sexism cannot be underemphasized in the web, for it is the game where boys become men. It is a true battlefield for only the most glorious of warriors. Many strong men have blindly partaken in the web. Their lives have been changed indefinitely.
The web is the greatest game ever.

The windshield's center panel swings open to allow access to the U-shaped bow bench seating, which also features a center insert to turn it into a comfy sun lounge.
The plush helm seat swivels to face your guests, who can relax in the spacious comfort of the wraparound lounge bench that also features a removable snack table.
With her 375 HP Corvette V-8 engine, the Malibu Sunscape hits a top speed of 49-mph and gets 5 miles-per-gallon at 25-mph.
A built-in ice chest will chill-out the day's beverages.
The V-Drive inboard power train creates minimal wake for maximum water skiing performance.
Tested by Capt. Vince DanielloIn the past, when I went snow skiing my goal was as many fast, hard runs as I could squeeze into a day. Over time I mellowed. I still ski hard, but have learned to appreciate a relaxing break between runs. Serious participation in watersports is no different. For those who enjoy their time inside the boat as much as their time behind the boat, Malibu offers the Sunscape Sport V series. It's like the summertime version of your favorite ski lodge.The smallest of Malibu's luxurious Sport Vs, the Sunscape 21 LSV does not compromise skiability. Built with the same SV23 Diamond hull as her professional grade sisters, some would say she is the perfect size ski boat. At only 2900 pounds, slalom wakes are extremely smooth, yet the company's Wedge and MLS options quickly convert her into an aggressive wakeboard boat. (See the article for our test of the Wakesetter 21 XTi for more information about these innovative systems.) The biggest difference between the Sport V and the rest of Malibu's line, the V-drive propulsion system places the engine at the stern of the boat, rather than in the middle. This creates a spacious center seating area for warm interaction between family or friends. Malibu has (up-scaled) the interior too. Kick back and close your eyes in the hand sewn, heated driver's seat and let the forced air heater warm your toes on a cool morning. Remind you of that cozy chair by the fireplace? Other luxuries include a hand sewn upholstered dash and an optional hot water shower. Special attention is given to reducing engine noise, (for a totally relaxing experience). The huge lounge wraps around three quarters of the cockpit, and includes a removable snack table. The rear facing section of the lounge lifts for access to a cavernous storage compartment beneath the windshield, intended to keep all wakeboards, skis, and equipment out from under foot when not in use. A cooler is concealed under starboard aft section. While the cooler is generously large, those of us in Florida might appreciate a bit more insulation at the expense of a few cubic inches. The remaining seats conceal additional storage.The bow seating area includes a removable insert to form a cozy (lounge). The windshield hinges for access to the bow, and a Plexiglas panel closes off the section beneath the windshield on chilly mornings. There is storage beneath the forward seats, and additional ski storage under the deck in the walk-through.To make full use of the luxurious helm seat, it swivels around to face the seating area, including the driver in conversation, or lunch. The bucket style seat can be locked forward, keeping the driver in place during high speed turns. The seat slides forward to precisely position the driver at tilt steering wheel, and includes adjustable lumbar support. As with all of Malibu's boats, switches and controls are close at hand, and the large instruments are easy to read. An large sunpad covers the engine at the stern, and creates two storage areas on either side of the engine. At the front of the sunpad, the ski pylon swivels on exceptionally smooth needle bearings and retracts when not in use.Malibu is known for employing technology in design, construction, and manufacturing, but the company gives comfort a technological boost as well. Hydroponic dampening system – All Sunscapes are equipped with Malibu's silent rider mufflers for further noise reduction, and can include the Perfect Pass cruise control system, allowing the driver to dial in an exact speed or RPM and return to it at will.The V-drive powered Sunscape I tested was not as perfectly balanced as Malibu's midship engine models, the trade off for having the engine in the stern. Otherwise she performed impeccably, with better performance and enhanced safety over what is expected from sterndrive boats. Because the rack and pinion steering controls just a rudder, not an entire out drive, steering was extremely smooth and nearly effortless, even at full throttle. The boat planned off quickly at 2.7 seconds but with the weight of the engine in the stern, her bow rose a bit more than the company's straight inboard boats I tested. Once on plane, the boat ran remarkably level. Our test boat was equipped with a 375 horsepower Corvette engine, taken right off GM's assembly line and custom built for Malibu, which propelled us to a top speed of 49.1 miles-per-hour at 5500 RPM. The boat cruised economically too. At 3500 RPM we made 34.5 miles-per-hour, burning 8.7 gallon-per-hour, making four miles per gallon of gasoline. At 25 miles-per-hour, the boat's most economical speed, it was making better than five miles per gallon.Malibu's Sunscape 21 LSV fills an important niche quite well. Her compact size and inboard engine are well suited for aggressive skiing, while the stern engine V-drive configuration makes her a great family boat. Add in the versatility of huge wakes from the Wedge and MLS systems, and the extra poshness of the Sunscape line, and she offers something for everyone in the family.

In Detail
Setting up a basic Joomla! Web site is easy; what comes next is hard and expensive – making the site do exactly what and look exactly how you want. With this book in hand, it is easy to adapt your site to bring your vision fully to life.
This book will help you to separate your site from the crowd of other Joomla! sites without having to invest in developers. It will guide you through how to customize different parts and aspects of your site and will also show you how to turn your site into a profitable business via these customizations. You will be able to build a successful, professional web site that will adapt to all your business needs.
You will be taken beyond the basics of Joomla!, and given an insight into the techniques and tools used by the professionals to rapidly develop unique, custom sites. This will enable you to develop your own professional-quality Joomla! site without assistance, saving you time and money. You will learn how modules, plugins, components, and templates are constructed, and how to make changes in them, giving you the confidence to make more elaborate changes to your site. On top of this will be a look at common problems Joomla! site developers face and how best to deal with them.
You will also learn techniques for building a business with Joomla!, as you step through building a subscription-based web business. Towards the end, you will look at marketing and monetizing this business fully to maximize your return.
This step by step guide will show you how to build and customize a unique web site with Joomla! using the same techniques as the professionals
Filled with plenty of examples and careful explanations, this step-by-step guide teaches you to build a subscription-based business site with Joomla!. This site will evolve chapter by chapter as you apply the techniques and theory that you are learning to it.
You will start by looking at the environment in which you develop, setting yourself up with the right tools to develop a professional site as effectively and efficiently as possible. Then you will move on to setting the purpose of our site, and why it is important to have a clear purpose and goals for your site before you ever even install Joomla!.
You will begin to look through choosing, installing and customizing extensions, and proceed to work on your sample subscription site as a practical example of the information covered in each chapter.
Finally you will look at how to market and monetize your site to ensure the maximum success for your site.
Who this book is for
This book is written for people with basic knowledge of Joomla! who want to expand their skills and move from simply assembling extensions and installing a template to truly customizing their own site.
Readers are expected to have functional knowledge of Joomla! and a very basic understanding of terms such as FTP, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, even if they have no real knowledge of the workings behind these terms. This book does not cover topics such as installing Joomla! and extensions, or creating content.
The ideal reader is one who wishes to build a successful business web site using Joomla! and is interested in making as well as saving money by applying professional tools and techniques to the development, monetization, and marketing of their site. Non-business focussed site owners can still benefit greatly from the book, however, if they wish to add a level of professionalism to their work.

Picture perfection
Bring your world into focus with the COOLPIX L810 digital camera. A 26x optical zoom gives you the control you crave to get closer to your favorite subjects without losing resolution. Nikon's NIKKOR ED glass lens and vibration reduction technology give you smooth, blur-free shots, while a variety of scene modes, including Nikon's Easy Auto mode let you focus your subjects rather than your settings. Oh, and did we mention in-camera editing? Do basic fixes and even add fun effects right from the 3.0" touchscreen so you can share your best pictures instantly. Plus, the L 810 doesn't stop at photos — a 720p camcorder lets you get stunning video, and the built-in mini-HDMI port makes it easy to take your videos from the touchscreen straight to the big screen without needing to make a stop at your computer first. Last (but certainly not least), the L810 uses four AA batteries, so replacement batteries are easy to find. And, lest you think you'll be running through batteries faster than you can recharge them, you can get up to 740 shots when you use lithium batteries (up to 300 shots with alkaline, and up to 450 shots with Nikon's EN-MH2 rechargeable batteries).

The holiday season means family, friends and fun, but stress is often an unwelcome guest. Holiday stress happens to many of us and can hit when you least expect it. How can you keep the "Happy" in "Happy Holidays?" A few simple steps can minimize stress and help you enjoy the holidays.
• Be realistic. Many people think the holidays are ruined if things aren't perfect. Real life is not like a holiday movie. Nothing is perfect when people are involved. Relax when things don't go the way that you think they should.
• Stick to your budget. You can't guarantee a happy holiday by going on a spending spree. Decide how much money you can afford to spend and stick to the budget so post-holiday bills don't catch you by surprise.
• Make a plan. Grab the calendar and schedule days for shopping, visiting friends, and other activities. Don't wait until it's too late to finish your wrapping, baking and mailing. Make time to get the work done so there's time for fun.
• Simplify. Remember that it's okay to say no. You can't do everything for everyone or join every holiday activity that comes your way. Make time for yourself so that you are rested for the time you do have with friends and family.
• Exercise. Exercise and good nutrition help reduce stress.

History is the study of the past and its interpretation in the present. Historians make sense of the past by analysing evidence from written, oral, visual, digital and material sources in light of historical context. Using a range of approaches, they examine past events, processes and relationships, interpreting their origins, significance and consequences.
In a major in history you can study different periods, places and cultures, from the Medieval through to the present-day, from Australia and China to the United States and Europe.
Study plan
A major in History requires 36 senior credit points, including at least 24 credit points of core units of study of which 6 must be taken at 3000 level.
Junior units of study (1000 level):
Junior units of study survey a broad period and region and a variety of different approaches. You can choose from three different units of study in the first semester and four in the second, according to your interests. To progress to senior-intermediate (2000 level) units of study you complete any 12 junior credit points in History or Ancient History.
Each junior unit in History involves two hours of lectures and one hour of tutorials each week, and 4500 words of assessment including a source analysis, outline and final essay answering a set question, and an exam that examines the breadth of your knowledge, as well as your participation in tutorials.
Senior units (2000-level):
You must complete two junior units before you can do a 2000-level unit. You have a choice of approximately 8-10 units each semester, focused on the histories of particular nations or themes explored in a variety of different times and places.
Each senior intermediate unit involves two hours of lectures and one hour of tutorials each week, and 4500 words of assessment, including a bibliography, outline and a final essay, an exam or journal, and participation in tutorials.
Senior units (3000-level):
You must complete four 2000-level units before you can do a 3000-level unit. You have a choice of three units: the Primary Source Research Project; History Beyond the Classroom; and the Historiography Research Project – each focused on an independently framed project .
Each senior unit involves a one-hour lecture and one-hour tutorial each week, and 6000 words of assessment, involving a proposal, bibliography, outline, drafts and a final 4000-word project.

At Home
The Long Goodbye
Well, Beets, our miracle dilute calico who singled-handedly caught gophers, mice, snakes, moles and a few other critters at the old farm and proudly hauled them over 20 acres (almost a 1/4 mi) to the back door of our farm house to "feed us" is becoming more frail every day.
It becomes harder and more difficult to watch her go downhill every day - as of today, she is 19 years, 1 month and 14 days old and she still purrs like a new-born kitten as long as she is laying on top or beside me even though she is becoming so fragile...
I've started giving her some of the KRM I saved from Haystack's time and, yes, I already have the vet on board for a house call if that becomes necessary; just feeling very sad and wondering if anyone else has gone through this? I know I have many times before but it never gets easier....
Guess I'm just looking for some sympathy here and, maybe some support, because I know what is to come ....
IR, It is so difficult when our fur babies start to tell us it is time.
My Boris was the same way. At 18 he was getting thinner and more sensitive to food. DH started giving him scraps of turkey because he seemed to tolerate it well. But like Beets, he kept his normal schedule and didn't seem to have pain.
We had to let him go when he had a stroke. The vet said we could try different things, but he was so upset and confused we couldn't let it go on.
You both will know when it is time to say goodbye. It is never easy.
Fun and Info
This is the negative side of living with a pet who has a life span shorter than ours. But the positives far out weigh that negative. They give us such love, amusement, companionship during their relatively short life.
If you are looking for sympathy and understanding you know you will get it here.
We went through this with Lily a rescue cat of ours. We couldn't say for sure how old she was, but that she was at least 16, but it was possible she was even older.
She died of cancer. The vets prognosis was a year and he was right. At her age he recommended just bringing her home and loving her until she told us it was time.
It was not easy watching the cancer grow. It was skin cancer that began on her ear and spread all over her head. We watched carefully for signs she was not well or suffering and she was her old self right up to the end.
And at that time, she gave us the gift of not having to make a choice. One day she stopped eating and lay down and went to sleep the next. We made her a comfortable bed and in the night she peacefully stopped breathing.
It's never easy seeing an old friend come to the end. Hugs to you. Give Beets special treats and treat her like the royalty she has become.
Special HUGS to you and Kitty Beets. Give her that extra attention for now.
Last Sunday I had to assist my DD with that very decision. Miss Kitty was about 17. It's never easy.
I wish you both the very best.
~Like sands through the hourglass
~So are the days of our lives
Just know that you did right by BEETS and it's known! It's SO hard when a pet owner has to make that final decision.
Many thanks to everyone who has responded; your posts mean a great deal to me. Just having support during this time means so much. As of today, Beets is still doing "well" but well is a relative term...
It's day to-day and every day when I wake up, part of me hopes that she will have passed peacefully during the night and another part of me is over-joyed when I see her move and know she is still alive.
It's such a roller coaster w/o the excitement - just the ups and downs.
I'm hoping her time comes soon for my sake and I know that sounds so terrible but, at the same time, I'm ordering another case of KMR tonight in case it's not so easy. So many conflicting emotions ~ so thank you, everyone, for your kindness and compassion.
Idaho, I'm so sorry to hear that Beets is failing. Hard thing to live with. Been there and done that myself. You've taken wonderful care of her and she's provided much love and companionship. Neither of you could do more. ((((Hugs)))
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Sorry to hear about Beets. It's so hard to let go and accept what's going on. We are all selfish in wanting longer times with our furry ones because they've brought such unconditional love and joy I to our lives. I've been thru this 5 times and it never gets any easier. Hope you have a bit more time with Beets before her time comes.
Sorry to hear about your kitty. They are such wonderful friends. I had one for 26 years and a a couple others into their late teens. The ones I have now are getting older.
Just continue giving Beets lots of love.

So sorry to hear about Beets. It's so hard to say goodbye. We had our German Shepherd Holly with us for 14 years. She had a rough time Thanksgiving that year and she started to bleed on a Sunday night. We made her comfortable and we had to say goodbye the next morning at the vets. I will never do that again, I will try and figure out how to get a vet to come to our home. My husband, grown son and I sat with her and cried. My daughter headed back to college and she said that she cried all the way back on her flight. We know that you have given Beets a good life and been a wonderful friend. We also know that it's so hard to let go. All of us love our pets and want them to be with us. We don't want to let them go but it's our last act of love to let them leave us peacefully. We know that you will know when to make that decision and we all send you our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry about Beets. You have my support and prayers. I know how hard it is to let a furbaby go, and my heart goes out to you. Hugs!
You said something about you saved something "from Haystack's time". What did you mean? I hope nothing has happened to Haystack. You haven't mentioned her lately, and I got to wondering.
Idaho, sorry to hear about your sweet Beets. It's never easy no matter how many times you lose a pet. I miss all of mine.
Wow, 19 years. That's a wonderfully long life and, knowing you, a love filled life too. 19 years seems like such a long time....and yet, when it come to nearing the end of a beloved pet's life it feels like such a short time.
I hope you and Beets have a bit more time left together to enjoy each other. I'm sorry and I know it's hard...
Irish Kid -- I think she was referring to some special foods that she had for Haystack when she was ill. So far as I know, Haystack still thinks she rules the roost!!!
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Thanks, everyone for all of your posts. You know, it's funny, I don't cry during the day but, at night, once everyone is settled in and I come here to read any responses, the tears do come ~ I think because it is such a relief to know that others understand...
My reference to Haystack was simply that, when I weaned her from the bottle-feeding, I had 3 cans of KMR left which I kept knowing this day might come - it's high-powered nutrients and very gentle on the digestive system - "purr-fect" for kittens and great for geriatric cats as well.
Beets has absolutely has gone to town lapping it down and wanting more and more and more. We ran out and the case I ordered is stuck somewhere in Illinois - UPS says won't be delivered until next Thursday. Guess they don't work weekends and I forgot that Monday is a holiday.
One thing I have to say is that DH, without being asked, got up early and has made 2 50-mile RTs this week to the nearest PetCo to buy out all of the KMR they had and Beets is still here...
As for Haystack? I caught her today and almost yelled at her ~ then realized she wasn't attacking Beets ~ instead Haystack was cleaning the top of Beet's head and ears! So all is well on the western front ~ thank you, friends for sharing this journey with me. I hope it is helpful to others as well, active or lurking.
So nice to not feel alone during this time.

We're here for you Idaho! Glad to hear that your Beets is still with you.
I am sorry to hear about Beets My thoughts go out to Beets. This can take a long time I know. For five of my shelties several times it went on for a very long time sometimes up to a year.
Your heart is in turmoil, but for me thinking about all the great things they brought to my life, and care I gave them helps me realize when they are so sick, that the time I have cannot be spent grieving, but thinking about the great things and how I can help them now. This is why I just occassionally update what is happeing now with them.
Good luck to Beets

Well, just posted a response - Admisn grabbed it and said it needed to be reviewed. That hasn't happened to me in a long time - just wanted everyone to know Beets is still alive. I know I didn't use any "prohibited" words - will probably take TPTB over a week so won't be posted back any time soon.
Just came back to the boards and saw this. I'm sorry about Beets, I know how difficult it is. My Sammi is 16 and I'm dreading the day. I can tell she's getting older, skinnier and shedding like crazy.
I know when she sits and looks at a chipmunk and does nothing about it, that she's too old to be bothered
IR, I haven't been able to get on here for quite some time, had to get a new computer. It makes me so sad to read this, I know how much
Beets means to you. I went through the same thing with our Pekingese a few years ago. He was 16, totally blind, totally deaf, but still ate good, loved being loved on and still played. We were SO torn and sad about it all and just couldn't bring ourselves to say goodbye as long as he wasn't suffering. Our decision was made for us when we had to move. We knew he wouldn't know where he was or know his way around when we moved. I know the feeling of going to bed and hoping the pet goes peacefully on it's own. We're all here for you and feeling what you're feeling. Sending BIG hugs your way!
i, too, have gone through this more times than i can remember but we will always have animals (rescues). i feel your pain; prayers to you.
Thank you, every single one of you who have posted here on this thread. I know it is a difficult topic and one that is hard to comment on ~ so thank you, everyone who managed to do so.
As of tonight, Beets is still here - every day she seems a bit more frail but, at the same time, she still goes up and down the stairs (2 story house here) and wants only to lay in my lap or right next to me - purring - is one more day she is still here.
I can't thank all of you enough for understanding how difficult this time is...
PS. Gypsy Dancer, so very glad to see you posting again - now if we could just get "luvs-to-flip" and Yve back again....
IR, thanks so much, it's good to be back! I totally agree with needing to get Luv-to-flip and Yve back..really miss them! I'm glad to hear your precious Beets is still there with you. Just enjoy everyday with her and love her as much as you can..and I know you do! You and Beets are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. I've been there several times lately. Everybody says you know when it's time and I've found that to be so true: all of a sudden you realize that neither one of you can go thru this any longer, and you're both ready for the peace that comes with that decision. But it's still painful.
Thinking of you and Beets--hope all is still ok.
Can't begin to tell all of you how much your posts have meant and, yes, Beets is still here with me tonight. But the KMR that I think gave her a reprieve over the last month, has lost its attraction. The case of KMR I ordered arrived just in time last month and she seemed to be doing well on it ~ for a while ~ but she just isn't eating/drinking like before but, at least, it gave us one more month. : :
I'm going to start giving her canned catfood three times a day starting tomarrow - she usually only gets it every night - in addition to the free-fed dry food. The time is coming but she is still happy, purrs up a storm while on my lap, "talks" to me constantly and is able to go up and down the stairs with no problems so I'll keep trying to make the end as easy as possible as long as Beets indicates that that is what she wants.
Have to say I am so appreciative of all of you here on the boards ~ told a couple of people the last few weeks about Beets ~ without exception, they were all very sympathetic AND they said, "well, she's really old" so it's probably best to just put her down and get a new kitten.
Sorry, but neither people nor animals are interchangeble. Can't tell you how upset those comments made me - so, once again, have to say how much I appreciate hearing from individuals who do get it.
IR, people can be SO insensitive! You're right, they just DON'T get it. As an animal lover, I just don't understand how people can be so cold about pets....just see them as disposable. "Well, that one's old so just toss it out and pick up a new one". If they only knew how much we love our pets and how we give them our whole hearts. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Beets sounds like a very strong and tough girl, she may hang in there much longer than you think! Give her fur kisses and hugs for me.
Some people can be so insensitive, Beets is your friend not an old pair of shoes. She deserves love and care and you are doing just that for her. Take care.
As always, thanks to all of you - Beets is still here but I just had to post back about the ones who sincerely were trying to comfort me with telling me that Beets was so old - just put her down and bring a new kitten into the home. Thank you, all of you, for posting what I would have liked to say to them.
I didn't think about shoes - instead, I thought about an old sweater. Made me think that they were sorta saying that about an old sweater that was worn out and out-of-fashion so it would be so much easier just to get a new one.
Yes, much easier to just buy a new shoes or a sweater or get a new furry family member BUT I love Beets - she has been a constant in my life for over 19 years and I bless everyday I have been so fortunate to have had her.
I have, selfishly, posted this thread seeking support and have received it beyond my expectations but I also hope that others might be benefiting as well; it's hard to talk about the end in every day conversations whether it be people or our beloved animals. Thanks, all.
I have been off here for a few weeks tending to a ill friend. In late May we found that our almost 14 year old Lily had thyroid cancer. Despite removing her thyroid and a few weeks chemo - she lost her fight on her 14th birthday. I have been greiving. I never realized that my other 14 year old cat would grieve as well. It has been harder on me trying to deal with her grief than my own. For weeks she would wander through the house howling for her "sister". They spent their whole lives together. She would get me and try to make me find Lily. She would look at me at times and I would imagine her thinking: you must be the dumbest human there is - we are missing a cat lady!
Lily was never just a cat.
IR, you know we are always here for you...and for beautiful Beets. (((Hugs)))
professorc, I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. It's one of the hardest things in this world, losing a fur baby. And always so sad to see one animal looking for and/or grieving for one they've lost. Sending (((Hugs))) your way also.
hi idaho. looking over this post & others but don't see any updates about beets. hope all is well.
Thanks for asking, maggiejoe, and everyone else who has posted here!
Well, good news and bad news. The good news is that Beets is still here, purring up a storm, eating canned catfood three times a day and is never more than a foot away from me...the bad news is that she is continuing to fail. That's the usual prognosis of renal failure and there is nothing any of us can do to change it.
But, in the meantime, she still brings joy to my life and I hope that I bring comfort to hers ~ she deserves it. When I started this thread 3 months ago, I honestly thought that Beets would not live to see the end of the month. Well, she is now 19 years, 4 months and 24 days old ~ and I have been thankful for every one of those days. I guess sometimes, the long goodbye is longer than we expect. And dare to hope for...
Oh, my goodness, IR, I am just now seeing this thread. I am so sorry to be so late to it though I am THRILLED Beets is still with you!
One of our cats, Little White, was diagnosed with renal failure a number of months ago. It's been touch and go but for the most part, she's been getting canned food literally about 5-10 times/day.
Thoughts and prayers are with you. You already know that.
beets is a strong old gal & continues to survive because of your good care.
Idaho: I'm glad Beets is still with you. Sometimes people can be so insensitive, as if a furry friend can ever be replaced! NOT!
Professorc: I'm sorry about your cat. I know how hard it is to lose a pet that you love. And Charcoal'sMom, I'm sorry about Little White. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
IR, glad to see your update--I had been wondering if Beets was still with you.
Professorc, sorry for your loss, it's so hard when they leave us.
Charcoalsmom--so sorry to hear about Little White.
I thank the father above that there are people like you that love thier fur babies and don't discard them like an old worn out item that we no longer want.Thinking of you and praying for you and Beets.
Use it up,wear it out,make do or do without.Mama said!!!
Well, I started this thread last August 25th, called it "The Long Goodbye" and received so many encouraging posts ~ thanks to everyone who posted or simply lurked and sent good thoughts my way. I realized today that it was time for an update since it has been seven months and Beets is still here!
A bit of a miracle and maybe just a bit more of tenacious love of life on Beet's part. She is still quite frail but hangs on with every claw she has ~ dry food upsets her stomach resulting in vomiting so DH and I have started to feed her a "spoonful" of canned cat food @ 10-12 times a day plus KRM 3xdaily - it's working so far....
The bad news: her fur has become matted and no amount of gentle combing gets it out; her breath is bad because of the toxins her kidneys can't expel and her excessive urination is very tough on the litter boxes ~ I used to scoop twice a day. Now it is every time I walk by her box....
But the good news: Beets is still overjoyed to be part of our family, insists on laying on our laps while she purrs her heart out, goes up and down the stairs with no problems although it takes her much longer than it did last August.
Bottom line, I would never have expected Beets to still be alive today when I started this thread last August ~ hope that gives hope to some of you dealing with "end of life" issues with your furbaby-family members ~ we really don't have all the answers no matter how talented our vets are....
Thanks, everyone, for the support and prayers ~ think they might be working although I do realize that it is only a matter of time.
So happy to hear the good news, IR!
Aw IR, I had no idea Beets was going through this! Beets feels your love and kindness.
Wow,19 yrs is a long time for a cat. That's how old Miss Kitty was when her time came. For a cat reaching over 19 yrs, we must be doing something right.
Regarding the matted fur...is there any way to take some scissors and cut those off? Just a thought....
Keep us updated IR. You know we all support you and care much for you furry "vegie".
"Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened"
Thanks, CCM and luvtoflip, for your responses ~ we enjoy every day with Beets and are just so thankful to still have her with us.
About the matting? Well, it's a situation that I haven't encountered before; I know that I have posted many times that there is no need to "bathe" cats as they are quite capable of taking care of that duty themselves (unless they are very geriatric and can no longer do it themselves).
Guess words can come back to haunt as Beets is no longer able to groom her back as she has always done and, thus, the mats. Perhaps if I had bathed her on a regular basis when she was a younger cat, a bath wouldn't be so bad now...
As it is, she will be 20 years old on July 12th and putting her in a bath at this late date would probably cause a pretty severe reaction on a physical level that she can't afford; I agree with the scizzors and cutting them off and have been doing that as time has gone on but, unfortunately, if I clipped all of them off, she would look like a ***** little kitty!
She has always had such dignity; I can't do that to her now. She is still the matriarch of the family and the other cats give her great deference. Case in point, when I got out the Laser Light tonight, Beets started chasing it and all of the other cats held back and let her play....
If only people would be so kind when one of own is failing; think we could all learn a lot from "animals." My two-bits for the night.
PS. Anyone else who is dealing with the issue of aging/end of life issues with beloved family members (even if they are furry or hairy and have four legs), please feel free to chime in. This isn't Beets or my thread = it's a thread for all of us.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident,
IR, I agree that at an older kitty might not take very well to an actual bath...especially if they've never had one!
Our Lola kitty cannot reach her backside either, IR. When I asked the vet about this, he actually told me that I could give her a "sanitary shave". He did it that day in the office and I've kept up with it every since.
He actually told me that he recommended this with all cats...especially the older ones or any with lots of fur = fur "back there". We have a razor for cutting hair so it makes it easier. A trimmer on an electric razer might work but depending upon the thickness of hair...could be tricky.
I told the vet that I had (occassionally) been using baby wipes on Lola...on the areas where she can't reach anyway. While he didn't say this was a bad thing, he did mention that taking a simple warm wash cloth would get the same result. If You think the wipes might be an idea, you can usually find actual pet wipes in the pet section of the larger chains like W-Mart. I guess I just figured the baby wipes would work just as well for her since I usually have them anyway to help clean "mommy's" makeup off~LOL
I can admit that Lo doesn't really like it when I deal with her backside(she fusses a little bit), but seems to appreciate it when she stops pouting and realizes she has a cleaner backend.
Back to the shaver idea....it is a little difficult doing this sanitary shave alone but I usually place her between my legs with her head facing me...well...me!lol Then I try to go as fast as I can. I really don't think it hurts her. I think it's the sound of the buzzing razer more than anything that she's reacting to.
And yes, after we're all done, her backside does resemble a furry little "target" of sorts.LOL
Just a thought. You know Beets better than any of us so you do what you feel is best.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention something else. I always run the baby wipes through some warm water before going to "that area" so it's not so cold and shocking! I guess I felt that I wouldn't like it if someone came at my backside with a cold cloth of some sort!LOL
Hope little Beets is with you for a long time dear friend~
"Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened"
Glad to hear that Beets is still with you. I have often thought about her since you first posted last summer. You are doing a fine job!
I watched Ishan take a very long time to hobble across the pasture last night, and I realized that I must think about her quality of life. She is 13 years old and a very large dog (Akbash breed). She suffers from arthritis and now has a growth just beside her armpit. Surgery was not an option at her age and size.
She has been content to lie in the sun and sleep most of the day while the younger guard dog protects the flock, but I'm afraid we're slowly losing her.
I will try to keep her comfortable as long as possible, but we are not close to her like we would be with a pet. That may be hard for some of you to understand, but she has known from the time she could see that her place was with the flock, and she has never asked for anything else.
Lady's Mom, I do understand the difference between a "working" dog and a family pet and know you will struggle with doing what it right as you realize that age has caught up with Ishan...
Without going into detail, we had a cattle ranch and a few "working" dogs who lived, breathed, driving and herding and never would be distracted from their "job" but, as always, time moved on and the day came when they could no longer keep up. Tough call to make and everyone needs to make the call on their own but we always opted to keep them.
We kept them on the front porch ~ tough for them to see everyone leaving without them the first time ~ but, then, surprise, surprise ~ they settled in quickly to become beloved family pets. I guess a second life of sorts and a beloved one for all of us lucky enough to have been given their love once they transferred it from the herd to the family.
Bo Beep ~ I know that is not your new name but, seriously, I hope you will think again about Ishan before you make any decisions. No, Ishan has never asked for anything else but that doesn't mean that she isn't capable of doing so.
Thanks for chiming in here on this thread; think it is time for all of us to have a safe place to talk about a very difficult situation that all lovers of animals have to face at one time or another...
luvtoflip, Thanks for your post ~ I read it out loud to Beets and the others!
Beets is still capable of grooming her "undersides" ~ she has always been a very fastidious cat in that regard so no need for assistance there. But she isn't able to completely reach the top of her back so that is where the matts are accumulating. Cutting them off as I can while trying to leave her with enough fur - not fun at all; sad even but she still is pretty active, purring and loving - I've began to think we should have named her "Timex" ~ she just keeps on keeping on.
I do thank everyone who has been sharing this journey with me ~ it's a tough one but one we will are make some day....
We would do what is necessary only if she is suffering. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. But the layout of our farm doesn't make the house the right place for her to be. I don't think she would be happy away from the sheep.
I would like to make a small house/bed for her under the cedar trees, where she can watch everybody, but don't know if she would stay there. She does go into the barn at night.
She is also going blind and deaf, but still walks with the flock occasionally to the far pasture. I don't know how she does it.
She has been a good loyal dog, and has taught me so much about guard dogs.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

"We develop scalable cardiac electrophysiology imaging techniques. One project involved designing a multi-parametric system for imaging a low-light 2D preparation of thin tissue slices. The three key parameters measured were transmembrane voltage, intracellular calcium concentration and excitation wave propagation. Traditional approaches use two camera systems, which may be too costly and technically challenging for most cardiac electrophysiology research groups. We used Photometrics' Evolve 128 EMCCD camera, modern high-power LEDs and a custom-fabricated multi-band optical filter to image the key parameters in time and space. The Evolve 128 camera is very well designed and versatile. It had the speed needed to capture the rapid electrical wave propagation patterns in cardiac tissue. It also had sufficient well depth to capture large volumes of light at a low noise level, essential for imaging voltage dyes. And the after sales technical service allowed me to get going immediately."
The Evolve 128 is the ultimate deep-cooled, back-thinned EMCCD camera.

For many pet lovers, losing a pet is like losing a best friend, a family member, and a trusted companion all at once. When that loss occurs, many are left with grief and other emotions that can be overwhelming, not knowing what to do or say to move forward, or what to say to others in a similar predicament. Deceased Pet Care has partnered with Jennifer Wilmoth, a pet loss counselor, to help you through these emotions and the grieving process.
Deceased Pet Care Funeral Homes' new Pet Loss Support Group, will be held on the first Tuesday of each month beginning June 5, 2012, from 7:30 pm — 8:30 pm. The meeting will be held in the Community Room on the second floor of the Chamblee Funeral Home at 4991 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia, 30341. Come and share your story, or just listen and receive support from others who understand what it means to lose a pet. We will explore the grief process and learn ways to let go and move forward in a meaningful way that pays tribute to your beloved pet. Together we can get through the grieving process and start the recovery process.
Questions regarding the Pet Loss Support Group may be directed to Deceased Pet Care Funeral Homes at 770-457-7659.

Novartis collaborates with Banner Alzheimer's Institute on study
Novartis announced a collaboration with Banner Alzheimer's Institute, or BAI, on a pioneering clinical study in Alzheimer's disease, or AD, prevention. The study will determine whether two Novartis investigational anti-amyloid treatments can prevent or delay the emergence of symptoms of AD in people identified as being at genetic risk for developing the late-onset form of the disease. Using an innovative trial design, the two treatments will be given in cognitively healthy people at genetic risk of developing the build-up of amyloid protein in the brain that may eventually lead to AD. One treatment is an active immunotherapy, a treatment that stimulates an immune response, and triggers the production of natural antibodies against amyloid. This investigational treatment, given via an injection, is in phase II clinical development. The second treatment, a BACE inhibitor, is an oral medication about to enter phase I trials and is designed to prevent the production of different forms of amyloid.

Piper Jaffray says shares of Array BioPharma are attractive at current levels ahead of Phase III data readouts for binimetinib in melanoma, selumetinib in Kras-mutant lung, thyroid and uveal melanoma, and filanesib in multiple myeloma. Piper sees the biggest overhang on Array shares as being the financing requirement and it notes that binimetinib could be returned to the company from current partner Novartis (NVS). Nonetheless, it feels investors should take a "serious look" at Array and keeps an Overweight rating on the stock with a $9 price target.

Anacor, Sandoz enter into agreement for commercialization of Kerydin in the U.S.
Anacor Pharmaceuticals (ANAC) announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Sandoz, a Novartis (NVS) company, pursuant to which Sandoz will distribute and commercialize Anacor's drug KERYDIN topical solution, 5% in the United States. PharmaDerm, the branded dermatology business of Sandoz, will be responsible for the sales and marketing of KERYDIN. On July 8, Anacor announced that the U.S. FDA approved the New Drug Application for KERYDIN, the first oxaborole antifungal approved for the topical treatment of onychomycosis of the toenails, a fungal infection of the nail and nail bed that affects approximately 35 million people in the United States, according to Podiatry Today. The agreement with Sandoz entitles Anacor to upfront payments totaling $40M and an additional milestone payment of $25M expected to be paid in January 2015. Under the agreement, Sandoz and Anacor will share equally, under a long-term profit-sharing arrangement, the gross profits accrued by Sandoz on sales of KERYDIN, except that in 2015 Anacor will start receiving profit-sharing payments after the first $50M of gross profits have been accrued by Sandoz. The long-term profit-sharing arrangement includes cumulative minimum profit-sharing payments to Anacor in 2016 totaling $45M. Anacor will also have the option to repurchase all rights in KERYDIN from Sandoz on the later of three years from launch or December 31, 2017, at a price to be determined pursuant to the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Anacor will supply product to Sandoz at cost through Anacor's contract manufacturers, and Sandoz will be responsible for all of its selling, marketing, distribution, general and administrative costs related to the commercialization of KERYDIN. Anacor will hold the NDA and will be responsible for any further development of KERYDIN.

Novartis reconfirms FY14 revenue guidance up at low to mid single digit rate
The company stated, "We are reconfirming our outlook for FY14. Group net sales in 2014 are expected to grow at a low to mid-single digit rate. Group core operating income is expected to grow ahead of sales in 2014, and now refined to mid to high-single digit. This outlook recognizes the entry of generic competition for Diovan monotherapy in the U.S. on July 7, including an authorized generic from Sandoz on the same date. If June average exchange rates prevail for the remainder of the year, the currency impact for the year would be -1% on sales and -3% to -4% on core operating income."
Novartis reports Q2 Core EPS $1.34, consensus $1.42
Reports Q2 revenue $14.6B, consensus $14.81B. Reports continued pipeline progress with positive regulatory decisions and significant clinical trial data released in Q2.

Have a few questions on host pick.
- You can only pick one skater as host pick for 3 spots you have for your competition you host?
- Do you have to choose the skater who has higher SB and/or WS even as a host pick if you have several candidates?
8 men: six with two events each (Hanyu, Kozuka, Machida, Mura, Oda, Takahashi); one host pick (Murakami); and a TBA host pick
7 men: five with two events each (Abbott, Miner, Rippon, Dornbush, Weir); one host pick (Razzano); and a TBA host pick
5 or 6 Men: one with two events (Gachinski); three with one invitation each (Menshov, Dmitriev, Voronov); one host pick (Bush); and a TBA host pick (could be Menshov, Dmitriev, Voronov or someone else)
4 or 5 men: two with two events each (Chan, Reynolds); one with one invitation (Rogozine); one host pick (Firus); and a TBA host pick (could be Rogozine or someone else)
3 men: two with two events each (Amodio, Joubert); and a TBA host pick
3 men: one with two events (Song); one host pick (Guan); and a TBA host pick
2 men with two events each (Brezina, Verner)
one man with two events each (Contesti, Ten, Fernandez)
one man with one event (Hendrickx, Majorov)
The ISU communication even states that Jr. Worlds and JGPF medallista are guaranteed a spot. Joshua Farris fits in both.. If this was a mistake from ISU I hope there's a way for him to appeal as son as possible.
Thanks, Vagabond!
That is what I thought but I have been hearing different things,
so wanted to make sure.
Last season's GP announcement (which was also IIRC released AFTER the GP assignments were announced ) removed the language that guaranteed JGPF and JW medalists one GP spot.
From 2011-12 GP announcement:
From 2010-11 GP announcement:Medallists from the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2011 and the medallists from the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2010/11 will be included in the selection process. Skaters/couples who have stated their intention to skate as Senior in 2011/12 might be included in the Grand Prix event(s) if they fulfil the requirements of the minimum score.
Medallists from the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships 2010 and the medallists from the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2009/10 will be included in the selection process. Skaters/couples who have stated their intention to skate as Senior in 2010/11 will be guaranteed one (1) event.
How do we call this then? Press release???, whatever term you like to use, the fact is that they are publicly akwnoledging the that Jr. World medallists are assured of 1 spot.
Maybe they just copied and pasted from an old announcement LOL
This year's announcement says the same thing:
http://www2.isu.org/vsite/vnavsite/p...0.html?id=1066Medalists from the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final are guaranteed one spot. In order for a skater/couple to be eligible to compete at a Grand Prix event, a minimum score must have been achieved.
ETA: IIRC, in the past, skaters who earned medals at both competitions received two berths, since each medal guaranteed them one berth.
I found a similar Grand Prix press release from last season here:
The 2011-12 press release did not contain the JGPF/JW medalist guarantee that the 2012-13 press release states. I guess we'll have to wait for the ISU to issue the 2012-13 GP announcement (PDF document) to know what is going on...
Even if the rule about JGPF and JW medalists being guaranteed 1 event was removed, Josh is still number 20 on the most recently updated SB list which alone guarantees (or should have) him 1 event. Not getting 2 events I could understand, there were no promises about that, but either this is some kind of tactical error or USFS forgot to submit his name for selection or persuaded his coaches into having him stay on the JGP another season without him knowing. If he really wants to compete on the senior GP, he should make an appeal to the ISU outlining what I said above. There's even a chance he could get 2 assignments if USFS were to give him SA, and honestly, he's probably the skater most deserving of that spot if he tries to get this sorted out and turns down the JGP.
I think the US federation blocked the request from Joshua. Their reason might be 2 JG assignments is better than 1 SG assignment. Moreover, if the proposed rule change is passed, once you enter into the SG circuit, you cannot go back to JW anymore.
I am concerned that Canada's #4 man, Elladj Balde, is not listed for any GP. He could be given the one TBA at Skate Canada but surely he deserves an assignment in light of his placement at Cdn Nats.
just came back from a month of remote vacation
holy cow, I am happy for Miki's return
weak entries for NHK trophy
and Julia will be competing amonst all the big girls in France and China. good luck Julia
and Shelepen getting only 1 assignment
I hope she gets the host pick so she can get 2 or to Polina K.

For the alternates list, last year's rules (v.1) state that all of the skaters in the Top 24 SB and WS guaranteed one who got only one in the initial selection have to get two before anyone in the Top 75 get selected for non-host picks, although there's no obligation to choose them.
I'm not sure who is affected here: Lipnitskaia, Shelepen, Korobeynikova, Sotnikova, Gold, and Sinitsina/Zhiganshin all were Top 24 SB and would have been guaranteed one without taking JGPF/JW medals into consideration, with Sui/Han guaranteed two from their Worlds result. All of the rest weren't submitted for senior GP.
Last year, without the medal guarantee, Monko/Khaliavin got two in the initial selection, and neither of them (USA, CHN) were host picks.
This year, of the 12 Ladies who were Top 24, but not Top 12 at Worlds,
Five got two: Lipnitskaia, Tukhtamysheva, C. Zhang, Gold, Sotnikova (1 host)
Seven got one: Czisny, Nagasu, Korpi, Biryukova, Korobeynikova, Shelepen, Li.
Gold doesn't have a host pick, and she didn't medal at JGPF, so I don't think the number of spots is tied to the number of JGPF/JW medals.
I thought there might be a pattern where skaters in Top 24 SB and Top 24 WS got two over skaters with one but not the other, except where a skater got a host pick and a second, but I'm not seeing that: Korpi, for example, is ranked 5th in WS and 14th in SB. Nagasu is 13th in WS and 11th in SB. Zhang isn't in Top 24 WS.
On a different note, skaters are tweeting left and right about how thrilled they are with their picks. As expected, no one has yet tweeted "I hate [list event]. My selections sux."
But I thought Alex Shibutani's was worth posting:
Now I know why @rossminer wanted to call it a day at 8:30 last night. He wanted to check GP assignments at 2am.

text: I wouldn't say it would look silly (only 4" on each side). I understand your concern but you have to choose/compromise, either esthetic or efficiency. The SB 42 versus the 50 SB would be like comparing an RM10 package to a RM20 package, better front stage and as Dorokusai points out the SDA effect is better.

Here are some other "tweets" that fell by the wayside...
Ok Amanda, let me explain! I love the guys of One Direction, not as much as my daughter, who would say, THEY, in particular Harry, is freaking HOT! So nothing but good will and great things for "the dreamy" bunch that is One Direction! I was just having some fun On-Air!
ALSO, I personally am looking forward to thier Docu-Movie that comes out August 30th, "1D | One Direction - This Is Us". You can check out the extended trailer here... You're welcome! :)
I'ma geek for a good documentary and if music is involved even better! I liked the Justin Bieber, Katy Perry docs and looking forward to an inside peek of that craziness!
Had a taste of Milwaukee Wave Soccer on July 17th and our very own Elizabeth Kay joined me / will be joining me as the roaming Public Address Annoucner! Looking forward to celebrating 30 YEARS of the Milwaukee Wave this season at U.S. Cellular Arena as I head into my 16th year as Public Address Announcer. We have a couple new teams this season and early indications say we may get the season started in November or December. Stay tuned and LET'S GO WAVE!
Finally, for those that DIDN'T know, earlier this Summer, I took two weeks of vacation to bowl against, "The BEST bowlers in the world!" on the Professional Bowlers Tour when they were here in Milwaukee. It was QUITE the experience, which you can follow along! WATCH / READ / LISTEN all about it here.
I even did an interview with, "The Bowling News", you can read that article about my PBA experience here.
Thank you for listening, sorry about the Twitter laziness and feel free to reach out anytime! We'll see you at the Wisconsin State Fair!
It feels like I've known them FOREVER!
The first time I discovered Plain White T's was 2001, at a Tower Records in Schaumburg, IL, where this CD with a "STOP" sign on it was in the bargain bin. Took a look at it, said Plain White T's atop of it and was on sale for $3.99. Why not, right?
Little did I know that years later, I would be working with the guys for one of our EXCLUSIVE After 5 Live Events and the rest is history!
Every time Plain White T's are in town, I'm there working in some sort of capacity.
This time was Festa Italiana, where I was recognized by some fans before going on stage to introduce the band.
The girls introduced themselves, with their parents just a stones throw away, and had revealed that the entire family had been listening to me for years! Very flattering! They also REALLY wanted to meet Tom and the band because they were HUGE FANS of their music!
SO, what's a DJ to do? I told the girls, if the opportunity arose, I would come get them so they could meet the guys and sure enough at the last minute, I got the green light!
Ran over to get the girls, tell their family and it was nothing but screams, squeals and thank you's all the way backstage! :)
So a very big THANK YOU to Tom, Tim, Mike, Dave and De'Mar from Plain White T's for taking the time to meet our winners, even the last minute ones!
