The Himalayas and other Far East mountain ranges are positively packed to the gills with Buddhist villages full of wise monks who will teach weary Western travelers — especially the old Mighty Whitey — to cast off ego, become one with the universe and attain true enlightenment. Also, to punch through people's heads. Despite being stuck up in a bunch of cold mountains, Shangri-La (alternatively Shangri La) is usually shown as an idyllic and beautiful place, full of rare flora and fauna, and tended by little bald men in orange robes who beat gongs. Alternatively, it may be shown in a more realistic (though no less idealised) light, being cold and uncomfortable to those who are used to Western decadence. Surrounding Shangri-La is an endless expanse of beautiful but dangerous mountain peaks, none of which feature ski slopes or extreme sports wankers with broken collarbones. Sometimes getting to the village or monastery requires a special Sherpa with secret knowledge, or for the mountaineer to be near death. Other times, it's just a case of turning a corner. Either way, there are definitely no tourists. Shangri La is almost universally based on Tibet, with the monkish religion a highly watered-down variant of Lamaist Buddhism. Hiding place for many a Utopia. Yet finding it and getting in is usually a lot easier than getting out. Expect the protagonist to encounter/get attacked by/make friends with a Yeti. Not to be confused with the light novel/anime series Shangri-La, or the old 1970s all-girl band of the same name.

It's been another cold and somewhat dreary winter week but we did enjoy trying out some more good recipes. If you see one you might like to try, please clip and save it to your recipe box.I just checked and the tulips are coming up and the red color is supposed to be gorgeous! We need the landscape color right now.Thompson's Taco Pot PieThis satisfies that craving for a taste of Mexican food without going out to eat.• 1 pound ground beef (We prefer grass fed organic.)• 1 package (1 and 1/4 ounces) taco seasoning mix• 1/4 cup water• 1 can (8 ounce) beans (Choose from: kidney, pinto, OR black beans)• 1 cup chopped tomato• 3/4 cup frozen corn-thawed• 3/4 cup frozen peas-thawed• 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese• 1 package (11.5 ounces) refrigerated corn breadsticks 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Brown meat in medium sized ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to separate meat. Drain drippings. 3. Add seasoning mix and water to skillet. 4. Cover over medium-low heat 3 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. 5. Stir in beans, tomato, corn and peas. 6. Cook 3 minutes or until mixture is hot. 7. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.Unwrap cornbread dough, separate into 16 strips. Twist strips, cutting to fit skillet. Arrange attractively over meat mixture (like spokes in a wheel) then press ends of dough lightly to edges of skillet to secure. Bake 15 minutes or until corn bread is golden brown and meat mixture is bubbly.This makes 4-6 servings.Dee Dee's Fresh Broccoli SaladI am always trying new ways to enjoy veggies without steaming them; this is a fresh and delicious way to eat broccoli.• 2 bunches fresh broccoli• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled• 2/3 cup raisins• 1/2 purple onion-chopped Dressing:• 1 cup mayonnaise (We use Hellman's or Duke's.)• 1/3 cup sugar• 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar• Wash, drain and cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces. 1. Combine broccoli, bacon, raisins and onion in a large bowl. 2. In a separate bowl mix mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar. Pour dressing over salad and toss. 3. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving, tossing occasionally.The recipe I used to use called for more bacon but I cut it down. We have been buying bacon with no sodium nitrites or nitrates and then freezing several slices and using them as needed.It makes 8 servings and you can make it in the morning for dinner later that evening.Coconut Lover's Cloud CookiesIf you enjoy coconut like we do-this is something you must try!• 2 2/3 cup flaked coconut-divided• 1 package Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Classis Yellow Cake Mix• 1 egg• 1/2 cup vegetable oil• 1/4 cup water• 1 teaspoon almond extract 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Reserve 1 and 1/3 cups coconut in medium bowl and set aside. 2. Combine cake mix, egg, oil, water, and almond extract in large bowl. 3. Beat at low speed with electric mixer. 4. Stir in remaining 1 and 1/3 cups coconut. 5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into reserved coconut. Roll to cover lightly. 6. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. 8. Cool one minute on baking sheets before removing to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing in airtight container.This makes about 3 and 1/2 dozen cookies.What Grandma didn't teach me:To save time when forming dough into balls, use a 1-inch spring-operated cookie scoop. Tips of the week:To keep bouquets of flowers fresher and longer, try trimming every stem off daily and refreshing the water in the vase. You'll be surprised how much longer you can enjoy your flowers. I recently was given a dozen red roses and I used this method and they stayed beautiful for two weeks!Have another good week in Parker County. It's a great time to buy or order from the seed catalogs. Walk outside and plan a new area to garden or expand an existing area. It's time to trim roses, as well as any other trees or shrubs that made need a "haircut."

November 28, 2014
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A Nevada senator says a lot of people diagnosed with mental health problems aren't being included in a national database used to check the backgrounds of gun buyers.
Republican Sen. Ben Kieckhefer of Reno says the number of court-ordered involuntary admissions to the state's two public psychiatric hospitals is much lower than the number cases referred and granted by the courts.
He says over the past two years petitions were filed seeking the involuntary commitment of 4,700 people determined to be a danger. Of those, Kieckhefer says only a fraction resulted in court-ordered commitments, a step that triggers a listing in the national database.
But Kieckhefer says in many cases, people are hospitalized without a court order while legal proceedings continue.
He wants to close that loophole.

Breaking Local News
7-11 robber caught
Police think they have the man who robbed a South Charleston convenience store last week. 33-year old Jeremy David Elswick was arrested on a warrant late Sunday in Charleston as police were investigating another indicent. Officers think Elswick walked into the 7-Eleven store on Jefferson Road early on July 25 and hid a gun behind his back. After demanding cash, he made off with about fifty dollars, then sped off. He's been charged with first-degree robbery.
Overtime expenses don't hurt Charleston budget much
New numbers show the city of Charleston spent more than $4 million in overtime for the 2012 fiscal year that ended June 30. or about ten percent over budget. Most of that went to the police and fire departments. Fire calls and police investigations are hard to predict, so overtime costs can be a variable when setting the budget. Even with the overtime, payroll costs came in less than budgeted for the fiscal year that just ended.
New report centers on prescription drugs
A new report aims to bring stricter laws to stop price gouging by drug companies The report says a group of "gray market" drug companies pull in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits each year by buying needed pharmaceuticals and selling them at inflated prices. Cancer patients are a particular target. A joint Congressional investigation cited the lack of government rules and regulations to control this secondary market as a problem that faces not only West Virginia, but the entire country. The study was partially commissioned by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who said it's important lawmakers make sure prescription drugs are affordable.
New oil and gas exhibit opens
The Culture Center at the State Capitol has a new exhibit. The exhibit about the history of West Virginia's oil and gas industry opened Friday and shows how West Virginia has played a crucial role in oil and gas development across the country. The exhibit covers the early days of wooden gas barrels and century-old pumps, along with antique signs and old photographs. The free exhibit is open to the public.
Goble's accused killer awaits arraignment
The man accused of killing Kathy Goble has been indicted. Charles March is accused of killing his co-worker Goble and buring her body in a shallow grave. She went missing in April 2010 and her remains were not discovered until May of 2012. March has been indicted on murder and concealment of deceased human body in connection with her death. March and Kathy Goble both worked at Kelley's Mens Shop in Charleston. March is expected to be arraigned on the charges on August 10.
CA filmmaker arrested in WV
A California filmmaker was arrested over the weekend in Lincoln County on her way to film a protest Saturday. The protest happened at a Patriot Coal mine in Lincoln County, and Babette Hogan was taking pictures from the passenger seat of a vehicle on Kanawha State Forest DRive when a West Virginia State police trooper demanded her camera. She refused, and was eventually handcuffed. Hogan is working on a documentary on the environment.
Kanawha Chief Deputy retiring
Kanawha County Chief Deputy Johnny Rutherford is retiring this week to clear the way for his campaign for sheriff. Rutherford is running unopposed in the general election in November, and he's afraid his campaign might violate federal law if he's still with the sheriff's department. The West Virginia Gazette reports Rutherford recently found out about a legal opinion holding that state and local employees who oversee federal funding cannot run for public office. A sheriff candidate in another county recently dropped out of the county sheriff's race for similar reasons. Rutherford has turned in his letter of resignation and will officially retire Tuesday
Still Working Together
Rumors that the Kanawha/Charleston Humane Association would no longer be parterning with Dog Bless were put to rest at last night's Board Meeting. They will continue to work together. Dog Bless is a nonprofit that arranges for dogs in the shelter to be sent to rescues in other states, thereby reducing the number of dogs euthanized at the shelter. Dog Bless also coordinates foster homes where the dogs can stay until a transport is arranged.

Gag Order
Citing an interview that aired Wednesday night with Shawn Lester on WSAZ-TV Kanawha County Circuit court Judge Duke Bloom has issued a gag order in the case yesterday. Lester who's trial is to start Monday, said in the interview he is innocent and it would make him feel better as a person to have fewer people think he is "this monster." He is facing a first degree murder charge in the fatal shootings of three people outside a convenience store in 2003. Bloom's order bars anyone associated with the case from discussing it.

Domestic data shows Apple's Mac sales up 5% in March quarterThe latest U.S. sales data from NPD suggests Apple's Mac sales were up 5 percent year over year during the March quarter, a number lower than some have expected.
Analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray believes the numbers suggest Apple could miss expectations on Wall Street when it reports official Mac quarterly sales during its earnings call next Tuesday. Investors generally expect Apple sold 4.3 million units during the three-month period, representing a 14 percent year-over-year increase.
Mac sales may end up lower than expected because Apple has not issued a meaningful refresh for its core MacBook Pro and iMac lineups in over a year. Munster believes those two product lines combine to account for 50 percent of Mac sales.
Given the latest NPD data for the March quarter, Munster expects Apple will report Mac sales in the range of 4.1 million to 4.4 million, representing 9 percent to 17 percent year-over-year growth, respectively.
But Mac revenue is expected to be just 15 percent of Apple's overall revenue in the March quarter. Because of that, Munster believes that any Mac "softness" reported by Apple will be offset by strong iPhone and iPad sales.
Looking forward, Munster expects the Mac lineup to pick up steam in the coming months, as Apple is widely believed to be preparing a refresh of its Mac lineup. Specifically, the MacBook Pro, iMac and MacBook Air are all candidates for updates with Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors.
If all three major Mac products are given an update in the June quarter, Munster believes it would result in a reacceleration of Mac sales that would compensate for any perceived disappointment in the March quarter.
Indications also surfaced earlier this month that Mac shipments were slow in the first quarter of 2012 due to a lack of new hardware. At the same time last year, Apple refreshed its major MacBook Pro notebook line, but this year Apple has been waiting for Intel's next-generation Ivy Bridge processors.
On Topic: MacBook Pro
- Early Black Friday: Apple's current 15" MacBook Pro for $1,699 ($300 off), 27" iMac 5K for $2,299 ($200 off), 13" MacBook Air for $889 ($110 off)

" Brand: Bob Martin / Animals Equipment Type: Cat Health "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
When I first left home, I decided I needed some company and as I worked all day, I decided on a kitten, then concerned that one kitten would be lonely, I brought two from the same litter and called them Bruno and Tyson.
Once they started to go outside, we seemed to develop and problem of fleas, particularly with Tyson, and of course, having two, meant that they were constantly sharing!
The product s available it pack sizes of 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks. This means that it should ensure your cat is flea free for this amount of time. I have only seem the 4 week pack in my local supermarket however pet shops and specialists do the larger sizes. It is also available from places like Wilko's & Home Bargains
The 24 weeks tube costs around £7, 12 weeks for £5.50, 8weeks for around £4.50 and 4 weeks for around £3.50. Prices can vary slightly from store to store so it is worth shopping around.
Simply cut the top of the small tube and apply to the rear of you cats neck (where they cannot reach if they try and lick it off).
When the product has dried, all you then need to comb your cat with a flea comb on a regular basis.
If you have more than one cat, I would recommend keeping them apart until the product dries completely. I made this mistake and as soon as I applied to Bruno. Tyson tried to lick it off him - this resulted in quite a scary experience of trying to rinse Tyson's mouth out with water.
Your cats must be a minimum of 12 weeks old to use the product.
My thoughts:
I would definitely recommend this product, luckily, since having my cats, I have only had to use it a couple of times, but each time has been a great success.
I have only ever used the 4 week tube, but found that this actually lasted longer than this and I only now use if we ever have an outbreak of fleas. As nasty as it sounds, I was amazed at how many dead fleas I was finding when combing my cats after applying.
I would recommend if you do get fleas, I would also treat the carpets too otherwise they will never go.
Thanks for reading.
Our cat is now almost two years old and is growing up so fast! It feels a little crazy sometimes that we've had her over a year and a half now too. Our cat is a house cat and has absolutely no desire to go outside at all. She has a few health problems and because we have several friends with outdoor cats we do the sensible thing and ensure that we keep our cat up to date with injections, flea prevention treatment and de-worming treatments on a regular basis.
In the past I have used Frontline and this has always helped to keep any fleas off my cat. Obviously it is hard to tell if any fleas have actually entered our home but we do have a friend whose cat has had fleas recently that seem to not have disappeared despite them treating their home and their cat several times. This time round I wanted to get Frontline again but our cat had needed treatment that week and so I picked up 24 weeks of Bob Martin protection from Sainsburys for around £5.69 or £5.89. This is stated as being £7.49 on the Sainsburys website but I only bought our 24 week protection packet 8 weeks ago so not sure that the price has raised this much, often I find different prices on pet items in my local Sainsburys than compared to online at the same time, no idea why as other products are usually fine!
Within this packet there are 6 blue/light grey coloured spot on containers. These come in a plastic tray type thing which is contained within the cardboard packaging. It took me just a few seconds to open the packaging and then just a second to snip the top off one of the spot on containers. So in all the packaging was very simple to use and the spot on containers very thick and strong yet not so strong that I struggled to cut the top off.
So this spot on is very simple to use, like all or most spot on products. Once I had snipped the top off I parted the hair on the back of my cats neck/bottom head area (not so easy when she is incredibly fluffy!). Then I just pour the liquid on to the back of the neck and in all it probably took me around 15 seconds to get the entire contents of the container on to her skin. This was very straight forward, just like with Frontline.
The difference that I noticed next after applying the liquid was the smell. It is an almost dusty, dank smell and my cat was really not impressed. Usually when I use a spot on my cat happily sits there while I do it and she does not struggle or try to get away, however with this Bob Martin spot on it was a totally different scenario. My usually placid cat tried to get away from me and when I held her she hissed and me and scratched me. Now this is obviously because something was upsetting her as she is very placid and never hurts me, even when we are playing aggressively. I had to get my husband to help me hold her so I could finish dispensing the liquid on to her neck/the back of her head. This also happened the second time that we used this 4 weeks later and again she was incredibly upset by us using it. She was sitting for several hours after use with her eyes at a slanted angle as if something was upsetting her eyes and it took a good two days before she stopped smelling disgusting.
I will say that our cat has not developed fleas while we have been using this for 8 weeks, however as I said before we don't have an active flea problem in our home. She has also not had any ticks or problems like that but as she doesn't go outside they wouldn't be expected anyway, however it is always good to protect her just to be on the safe side.
I must say that we will not use the 24 weeks of this that we bought. Our cat actively hates us (which is unusual) while this is being administered and for a day or two afterwards. Her character changes quite drastically when this is first applied and she becomes very naughty and aggressive, this is not something that happens with Frontline and so I have ordered some more from Amazon now.
I will say that my cat did not develop fleas despite lots of guests coming to see us who have outdoor cats. The off putting smell and the change in my cats behaviour is enough to worry me and these two reasons and the ones why I will not by or use this again. I would not want to pass this on to anyone else so I will be disposing of the rest of these flea treatments now to avoid my cat having to cope with being upset again by this being administered.
I have a little bundle of fun running round at home. A 5 month old kitten who has recently come back from his first weekend at a cattery who also came back with his first case of fleas. Being a conscientious pet owner I wanted to make sure that my kitten (Bailey) was healthy and happy but also to make sure my home was an itch free one too.
On a trip to the supermarket I noticed the Bob Martin Spot on flea repellent and decided to pick some up along with some flea tablets which promise to rid the fleas within 24 hours. The Spot on repellent comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 12 weeks protection (3 tubes) up to 24 weeks protection (6 tubes) and this is the one I went for as it was the only size in stock.
The Spot on sounds simple to apply and it is, if your cat/kitten stays still while you part his fur and squeeze liquid onto it...Bailey doesn't. After a quick run around and a game of hide and seek, Bailey gave up and sat (not entriely at his will) whilst I applied the spot on. The tablets had since cleared the initial infestation so this was just precautionary. After applying to the back of his neck, off he went quite happy if a little annoyed he couldn't reach the back of his neck!!
This product shouldn't be bought with the aim of killing fleas as that's not what it's for, this is a repellent only and is designed to protect your cat/kitten and your home as it is designed to brush off on your furniture.
So far so good, one week in and Bailey has stopped scratching as much so I think the combination of the tablets and the spot on has worked but I suppose only time will tell.
The Spot on is available for 24 weeks protection (one application 4 weekly) for around £7.99 at Pets at Home and most supermarkets. The smaller sizes are less commonly stocked but they are typically around £4-£5.
Based on the experience so far I would recommend this product to cat owers but I suppose only in combination with another treatment if fleas are already present. There are other brands available which offer similar promises but Bob Martin is a recognised name with this sort of product and it's definitely a name I can trust.
I have a couple of cats and with animals you need to not only watch them in terms of general health but for fleas and worms as well. The expense people can go into for there animals is enormous so when I was given a free spot on which was Bob Martin I used it.
I had heard of Bob Martin and it was my friend who gave me the product to try out claiming it worked for her cats. My cat developed some fleas due to a neighbour who was keeping a stray cat and they were passing on the fleas.
I had issues trying to remove them so needed help and this was the solution. I had this some of container which was 0.9,ml and it was a poorly put together. It took me forever to take the actual lid of the container off and I needed to use a knife as scissors were no where around.
I then poured this liquid onto the back of the neck and it is meant to spread through the cat to stop the fleas so you need to make sure it works first. My first problem was trying to apply this product as it was time consuming to hold a cat down for a prolonged period of time.
Eventually this liquid which smelt in some ways was applied and the cat was not happy. On the day I put this item onto the cat I found it had a few fleas roaming so I waited for my next attempt. 48 hours had elapsed and I found NO dead fleas.
I was shocked because this was clearly a product designed to kill fleas and it did nothing of the sort and it seemed there was even more. I had sprayed carpets and chairs and made sure all toys and beds were washed.
I went and sort advice from my vet who advised me against Bob Martin as they were a cheap alternative to Frontline and they do not work. I had used Frontline before and it seemed expensive and I love to find a more simple bargain.
Eventually I needed to settle back to Frontline even though it was going to cost a fortune I knew the fleas would disppear and the problem would disappear. The problem is Bob Martin claim it is 24 week protection when it seems it hardly reaches 24 hours.
I know seeing this inside Tesco they charge around £7 but I am unsure how many little liquid spot on containers you get but even for that price it is silly money to waste.
Your putting your trust into a product which sadly does not deliver any results so it can be a problem for people and especially when you applied it correctly as they directed.
I have learnt from my lesson and would hope others would as well. I would pre warn people your animal will almost certainly not want this applied to them so be careful and do not get this in your eyes burning is likely to occur also.
Bob Martin Cat Spot On
Description: Brand: Bob Martin / Animals Equipment Type: Cat Health / Repellent for fleas and ticks.
As someone who shares their home with 2 Siamese cats, I am very conscious of ensuring that they are as happy and healthy as possible. The cats are actually house cats but until earlier this year, we also had a little dog (who we still sadly miss) who naturally spent a lot of time outdoors.
Around a year and a half ago, our dog had to have a minor operation at a local vets and to our dismay, returned with fleas. Apparently this is extremely common, because people take dogs in to have them diagnosed with fleas, and of course, sitting in the waiting room, dogs will sniff around other dogs. We had always used Frontline on the dog to prevent this happening but because she had been unwell, we had lapsed by a few weeks which unfortunately, was all it took. It took around a week or 2 for us to realise what had happened, and by that time, the cats were scratching too.
We immediately went to a local pet shop and bought this product. On first inspection, it seemed very similar to Frontline (which we used on the dog) so we were comfortable that it would be successful. It cost in the region of £4 and it easy to apply. You simply squeeze open the little applicator, then sneak up behind the unsuspecting cat (by far the hardest part!) and apply to the back to the back of their neck.
Unfortunately, this product was very ineffective and we soon realised that it has little to no effect. We consulted our vet who advised that these over the counter products were not always as good as something from a vet and popped in to purchase some Frontline from them.
Frontline was a little more expensive but so much better. The problem was quickly resolved and aside from the usual washing of pet bedding, flea sprays etc to ensure that there were none of the little blighters left, the situation was quickly contained. Now, we regularly use Frontline to ensure that the situation doesn't happen again.
In summary, this product was a complete waste of money and certainly not something that I would recommend. It may be more expensive but better to treat your animals properly first time around and prevent the problem of fleas lasting any longer than it has to, give this product a miss and pop to your vet for some Frontline!
Bob Martin Cat Spot On is a product we have used as a flea and tick repellent for our cats. Its a simple to use product that is easily sourced and as its a well known brand it was something we felt was going to be a reliable and safe product to use with our pets.
The packs we have bought have had 3 small tubes of the product placed in the centre of a simple cardboard pack. These packs provide enough of the product for up to 4 weeks per application. So with the 3 tubes we have been able to use them every 4 weeks to give a combined 12 weeks protection to our cats when buying 2 packs per time.
We have found Bob Martin Cat Spot On to be an easy to use product that has not caused any adverse reactions with our cats. Its very simple to use if you follow the instructions provided on the pack. We have found that when using the product as directed our cats have not been stressed by the application of the product.
The way we apply the flea and tick repellent is to cut open the end of one of the small plastic tubes and then hold our cat gently, carefully pushing back the fur on a small area at the back of our cats neck. We then allow the product to sink in a bit, giving our cats a gentle smooth to settle them for a while, before releasing them to go off and play.
By following this method which is the one we are directed to follow by the makers of the product, we have found that our cats don't end up trying to lick or paw at the flea repellent. As not only do they have difficulty reaching it due to where we have placed it but its had a while to sink in before we let them off to play.
As we also make sure that we sit with our cats and give them a bit of a stroke whilst the product sinks in, we find that also cuts down on the risk of the product not being applied correctly. After all its best to get the dosing done all at once rather than have to chase about after an unhappy cat trying to apply more of the product and the way we apply the Spot On works well for us.
Over all Bob Martin Cat Spot On has been a product we have used as a flea and tick repellent, but not as a flea or tick killer. If at anytime you suspect that your cats may already have fleas, this product will not help to cure the problem. You will need to treat the fleas or ticks first and then when that is completely sorted you can go on to use this product.
As we have not had unwanted pests visit our cats when we have used this I have to say that it does work for our cats. I don't think it can be fully relied on when allowing our cats to go outside and so we fit them with soft flea collars when they go out as an extra precaution. As we haven't had any issues with this product I have to give it 4 stars.
Bob Martin Cat Spot On comes in a number of pack sizes from a single dose pack to 2 does 8 week pack, the 3 does 12 week packs we have used and a 24 week pack.
To keep fleas at bay we always write the date of our cats dosing on a calendar so we can refer back to it if needed which I would recommend you also do if you can. Prices for the product can vary so do look out for offers and expect to pay between £1.99 for single packs up to £3.40 for a 2 does pack and a bit more for the 12 week packs at up to £4.50.
Fleas and ticks are not a laughing matter, just the mere mention of them makes me scratch and feel uncomfortable so in order to keep my home flea free I use Bob Martin Cat Spot on for Whizz the cat!
It is very important when you own a cat to protect them from fleas and ticks as it's not nice for them and it's not nice for you. Now, you can decide to take them to the vet to have this treatment done but that it costly and time consuming and why would you do that when this fantastic product is avaiable in your supermarket.
Bob Martin Spot on cat treatment comes in a little tube in a thick liquid form that you apply directly to a cat. This is so much easier than trying to put something in their food. Basically you break open the seal of the tube with the top of the other side of the cap. Then make a parting in your cats fur at the top of its neck and squeeze the liquid out directly onto its skin. You don't need to rub it in which is good, I definitely avoid touching it and then I do send my cat outside just to make sure I don't come in contact with it but I haven't had any reactions or anything with it. You can use it on cats or kittens from 12 weeks of age. I've been using this on Whizz for years now and so far no fleas which is really nice.
Once you have applied the solution it will provide 4 weeks of protection. In order to carry on the protection they advise you to reapply within 28 days. One tube costs around £1.50 but I buy the multipack which contains 6 individual tubes for 24 weeks of protection for £7.49 which is a savings of about £1.50.
According to the back of the box, this product is approved under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986, for use as directed. HSE No. 7809. PCS No: 95578 Version 1.
Arnold - My pet cat (see profile pic), developed fleas about 12 months ago.
Aged 4 at the time he had never had any problems at all before this point, but one night my wife noticed a dark black, wriggly little flea / tick crawling through his bright white fluffy fur.
There was nothing that we could do that night, as it was late, but the next morning we headed off to our local 'Pets At Home' store to try and buy something to clear the fleas. There was a wide range of treatments in there, but the main one on the shelves was the 'Bob Martin' brand.
Priced at about £3 for 24 weeks protection - split into 6 little spot on bottles, (one to be applied every 4 weeks) we happily purchased the treatment, and went home, to try and tackle Arnold!
This product by Bob Martin is a spot-on treatment, which is very common for the treatment of fleas. The spot-on is basically a small white plastic bottle, containing a solution which is designed to spread throughout the cat's body, and kill the fleas.
So later that day my wife held Arnold on the floor, while I applied the solution. To open the little bottle you have to cut off the top, which isn't very easy to do, and then apply the solution (0.9ml) to the skin under the fur at the nape of the cats neck, between the shoulder blades. It needs to be applied here to stop the cat from licking the solution before it has soaked in properly. However Arnold must have managed to get his head around his body onto his neck area, and licked a bit of the solution as later that night he started to salivate quite badly which was really disturbing to watch.
After grabbing the packet to see if this was related to the flea spot-on, I discovered that it did warn (in the small print) that this could happen if the cat managed to get any in its mouth.
There are also lots of other warnings on the packaging which include:
Wear suitable gloves.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Wash hands after use.
Keep away from food, drink and animal feedings.
Keep out of reach of children
After a few hours of salivating, Arnold seemed fine again, and the next day we found a few dead fleas in Arnold's fur, which we combed out, and everything seemed to be working well, until a whole week had passed, and I was in bed one night when I felt something on my arm! You guessed it, it was a flea!
I hardly slept that night, as I couldn't get it out of my head, and constantly felt as though I could feel things crawling on me. We checked Arnold's fur thoroughly the next morning, and the fleas were all over him still!
I rang the vets later that day, to see what he thought, and basically he told me that Bob Martin spot-on is a waste of time, and acts as more of a mild repellent, just killing the odd one! He recommended that I went to the vets and purchased some of their flea treatment which is not available in shops, but was really good (and really pricey!!), so off I went to get some.
The treatment from the vet which cost over £10 did work almost instantly, and came in a much easier to open bottle, with a twist off neck. It was worth paying extra for, for Arnolds comfort, and our piece of mind, and so Arnold is regularly treated now, and has not had any sign of a flea since.
My overall opinion is that Bob Martin spot-on is not worth trying. Yes it is far cheaper, than Frontline, or Advocate, but what is the point of paying anything at all if it does not work, and you then have buy some proper treatment afterwards!
Thanks for reading.
This stuff is damned near useless! Maybe it has some effect - I assume it is better than using no flea repellant at all - but barely worth bothering with.
I have always used some stuff from the vets which works in the same way in that you squeeze the little tube of it at the back of your cat's neck (which is always easier that trying to get flea powder combed through their fur etc!). The stuff from there is very effective at killing the fleas, it spreads throughout the cats fur killing the nastly little blighters and it also is meant to get spread around the house onto the carpets as your cat moves around, to kill any lurking there (although I would still recommend a proper carpet spray - again available from a vets at around £14 a bottle - a couple of times a year at least).
The problem was that the vet charged a lot of money for it and with me having two cats the lure of Bob Martin's cheaper stuff was just too great! However, whilst I've never really known my cats have fleas - even though I never used the stuff from the vets quite as often as they recommend - they certainly did have fleas after I used this stuff! I wouldn't say my house was hugely infested but after seeing 2 or 3 of them jumping around here and there I had no choice but to go to the vets, get the real stuff and part with my hard earned cash. So it actually cost me more in the long run to buy Bob Martin's!!! I would never touch a cheaper version again, my poor cats (and myself and my son!) are worth more than that!
Really, just don't bother with it, it is a waste of money and time.
I use this product on a regular basis, as well as the Bob Martin Spot on Cat Wormer.
I cannot fault this product, If you have cats you will know that trying to put the granules in their food or trying to squirt liquid down their throat is virtually impossible. I found that the first time I tried the granules they worked but then the second time my cats figured out what I was doing and just left their food, so not only was the food wasted but so were the granules.
This product is so simple, you snip off the top and squeeze the liquid on the back of their neck, they don't tend to enjoy it too much, but if your quick at least you know it's done. It's so much better than other products because it gives you peace of mind, once it's on them it soaks in and you know it's done.
I would definitely recommend this for cats, it's far easier than anything else I have tried.
After reading other reviews on this product I was really quite worried when I spoke to my Nan and heard that she had used it on her cat and advised her to have the vets phone number on standby!
However, no adverse effects seemed to have been caused by the use of the Bob Martin Flea Spot on. In fact, no effects seemed to have been caused by the use of it. The flea infestation on the cat was no better or worse before or after using it. The most frustrating thing was that once it had been applied, we needed to wait at least 7 days to apply anything else to the cat which would actually work on the problem!
We decided the product was completely pointless and we wont be using it again. In future we will put the money spent towards a much more expensive, and effective, prescription-only spot on flea treatment.
I bought this product for my cat about a year ago, when I didn't have much money and wanted a cheap alternative to a product like Frontline, which would prevent any nasty fleas getting to my kitty.
Big, big mistake. Using this product ended up costing me a fortune! I used it as directed in between the cat's shoulders, used the right amount and so on. A few days later I noticed that the cat had been scratching a lot, so I checked underneath his fur to find quite big scabs where I had put the treatment. These were clearly painful.
I took him to the vets, where they told me never to use Bob Martin, as this happened to cats all the time, and that George had had a bad allergic reaction - had to have antibiotics, steroids and had to fork out for other flea products - ended up costing me 70 quid! My advice is to avoid this product, it made the cat ill, cost me money and time and it didn't even work as I found a flea on my boy!
Right. Fleas. Very nice creatures, arent they?
No. Thats right. I hate them as well. And this product is something we have used about 6 times altogether. Doesnt mean its good.
Now, what Bob Martins Spot On treatment is, is a little sqeezy bottle, which is as big as your thumb. To apply, you must first snip the end of the bottle, part the fur on the cat, which is located inbetween the shoulder-blades and a little up the neck. This stops the cats from licking it off, and susequently coughing and foaming at the mouth.
Does it work? Well, it seems to be hit and miss. Because your cats a little squirmy about having stuff like that, particularly liquid, touch their fluffy backs, applying this doesnt please them. Having two cats myself, one stayed put, and took his 'meds' like a champ. The other one squirmed her way out of it half way through application. This shows that two people are really needed to do a decent job of this.
Personally, I go for the Shampoo. Cats dont like being tipped with water, but it works very, very well, and starts killing them instantly. Spot On, well, doesnt. It also has a slightly strange smell to it, and makes your cats fur sticky to touch.
Of course, this should be used in a regular flea treatment of your pet and home. It works if applied properly. And if your having trouble, get someone else to help, or get your vet to apply it for you, which they should do for free.
When my cat was having a flea problem I saw this in Tesco and instantly thought "wow, what a bargain".
I just wish I had left it well alone. The price may only be small but the consequences of this little pippet are dire!
After about 10 mins of putting on Bob Martins Spot on my poor little puss starting loosing his balance and foaming at the mouth! We wasn't sure what on earth to do so took him to the vets.
Once at the vet she took one look at my cat, looked at me with a raised eyebrow and said "Bob Martin I assume?"
According to her this is a real common occurance and there have been several hundred cases of cats being paralysed, foaming at the mouth and dying after using this product.
I now stick with the one the Vet prescribes, it may be more pricey but my little puss is worth it!
These pesky little critters called "Fleas" are the bane of a cat's life! It doesn't matter how many times you comb them for flea's the little things have a way of hiding in the most awkward of places. But not any more! Now they have no where to hide.
All their hiding places where banished when I discovered Bob Martin had come up with a product that repels both flea's and Ticks. You know how it is, get the can of flea spray out and your cat can hear that a mile away and you can't find them for dust? It's just the same when you open a can of beans or a can of cat food! Just how do they tell the difference? But this time I had the upper hand! At long last I had come across a product they hadn't "heard" of.
All you get in the pack are six relatively small blister packs containing, wait for it, Margosa Extract 3% w/w ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate 9/8% w/w diethylene glycol methyl ether, whew! Each application treats one cat for four weeks so you have 24 weeks flea free, what a pleasure? They are really easy to apply too, which is great, because I don't enjoy wearing my cats as they spit hiss and fight every step of the way as I try to make life better for them. All you have to do is firstly snip the end off the tube, which actually is no mean feat, then part your pets fur between it's shoulder blades at the nape of the neck. I have found that doing this while they eat makes this far easier. Squeeze the tube and apply all the solution to the skin. Try to avoid getting it on the fur, although this is not really possible. Some inevitably does. Do not rub it into the skin either, because this apparently reduces the performance of the product too. But once the deed is finished, your cat will be flea and tick free!
Because the product is an insect repellent, you should really wear suitable gloves and disposal of the empty tube in a bin should be paramount so that the repellant is kept away from children.
Inside the packaging you will also find a chart to record the date you used your spot on. I think this is really helpful as it illiminate's confusion when it comes to re-dosing your cat.
All I can say is thank goodness for innovation. A very easy way to keep cats healthy and everyone happier!
Repellent for fleas and ticks.

This is my own first personal experience watching a review by Totalcar, but I have to say I loved it. The location, video footage and general hoonery is very Top Gear like. The presenter really hits on all the important themes and answered alot of my own questions about the M5 while having fun at the same time. By the end of the video, you can tell this car has really grown on the presenter and I think that says it all
The first reviews of the all-new 2012 BMW M5 have been full of praise (click here for an overview). Yet, some enthusiasts continue to pine for one thing – a manual transmission option. As reported before (and confirmed by an earlier set of spyshots), BMW will again offer a manual transmission for the new M5, likely for the US market only.
This new photo of the interior of a manual M5 unveils some subtle differences in the center console. The shifter itself seems to be fairly short … CONTINUED
It's been several months since we last discussed the topic of an all wheel drive M5. The last update we posted was news from Autocar claiming that an AWD version of the M5 had been approved.
Speaking at the new M5′s press launch in Spain, the F10 M5′s project leader, Max Ahme, touched on this subject. Although he did not confirm the approval of a AWD M5 already, he did let on about its very real possibility.
As M cars' power figures continue to climb generation after generation … CONTINUED
Here's a preview of an upcoming Top Gear magazine feature where James May with the help of The Stig thrashes the F10 M5 thoroughly, while comparing it to its top competition – the E63 AMG sedan. Check out some preview words and some Stig driving footage inside.
Autocar is the first to come in with a direct head to head comparison of the F10 M5 against its competitors, in this case the E63 AMG and the Jaguar XF-R. They make their pick, although for very specific reasons which may not matter to those looking to make a decision for a daily driver. See the review inside.
The first drive acclaims for the 2012 M5 continue as Motor Trend posts their first take on the F10 M5. Calling it improved with age, like a bottle of fine wine, Motor Trend believes that the F10 M5 is better than the E60 M5 in every way. How's that? See some excerpts inside.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris' video review of the BMW F10 M5 has now been posted, following his initial print review.
After his initial drive, Harris called the 2012 BMW M5 "mostly awe-inspiring" and said that there is no other powertrain like this in a series production car. He called the F10 M5′s performance outrageous and gave it a full 5 star rating.
In this video, Harris posts and addresses the following main questions:
- Has it got any range (fuel)?
- Has it got torque?
- Can you not … CONTINUED
We've all seen plenty of photos of the new 2012 M5′s imposing biturbo V8 S63Tu engine, which produces a whopping 560hp. But what exactly are we seeing when we peek under the hood of the F10 M5? Here is an explanation of some of the components seen on the S63Tu engine, as well as how they work together.
Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe reviews the 2012 BMW F10 M5 on video, giving us some excellent visual and audio of the F10 M5 experience. He's overall impressed and sums up by calling the new M5 still a proper lunatic's car. We like that!
Autoblog posts their review of the F10 M5 with a lofty summary – that it sets the holy standard for mixing performance with luxury. How does it do so? Read on.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris takes a first drive crack at the production F10 M5 and comes away impressed, as all the others have. He calls it a compelling package which takes the usable hyper sedan to new levels of all-around ability.
Top Gear's online magazine doesn't mince words in its verdict of the 2012 BMW M5, beginning their review by calling the F10 M5 chuffing excellent. So what made it chuffing excellent for Top Gear's reviewer? Take a look inside.

A bill (S. 2389) introduced by Sen. George Allen (R-VA) that would make it illegal to solicit, acquire, or sell another person's confidential telephone records without that person's consent has been approved by the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
A similar provision (S. 2178) has been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. S. 2178 would prohibit obtaining confidential phone records by fraud or any other unauthorized means from a telecommunications carrier or IP-enabled service provider. Under the measure, the sale of such records by anyone would be punishable by up to five years in prison. The penalty doubles for repeat violations within a 12-month period and for violations involving more than $100,000 or more than 50 customers. Law enforcement activities are exempt.

At least three seats on the Door County Board will change in the April 1 election, as three current county supervisors have decided not to run.
Incumbents Cletus Fontaine, who represents the towns of Union and Brussels in District 1; Mark Feuerstein, from the towns of Gardner and Nasewaupee in District 4; and Hugh Mulliken, from the towns of Baileys Harbor and Liberty Grove in District 19, have all filed declarations of non-candidacy, according to Door County Clerk Jill Lau.
Potential candidates have picked up papers to fill the vacancies. John Bur, a Union town supervisor, has filed in District 1. Two people have taken out papers to run in District 4 - LeRoy Liebe, a former county supervisor from Nasewaupee, and Gardner Town Chairman Jon Koch. Donald Sitte, Baileys Harbor town chairman, has filed to run in District 19.
At least one other district has a possible race. Jacksonport Town Supervisor Randy Halstead has picked up papers to run against incumbent Supervisor Dale Wiegand in District 16, which also covers a portion of the town of Egg Harbor.
Candidates for the spring election have until 5 p.m. Jan. 7 to file their paperwork with the county clerk at 421 Nebraska St., Sturgeon Bay. A candidate needs to gather 20 signatures from residents in their district to be on the ballot, Lau said. If more than two candidates run for a seat, there would be a Feb. 18 primary.
Other offices in the Door County spring election include the towns of Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Gardner, Gibraltar, Liberty Grove, Sevastopol and Washington, all villages, the city of Sturgeon Bay and all school boards. Residents interested in running for those seats can pick up papers from their local town, village or city clerk or school district office.

During the month of April, the Nebraska Corn Board, in cooperation with the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA), will join NASCAR® in kicking off its second year of the NASCAR Race to Green Campaign.
The campaign is intended to highlight the environmental accomplishments of green programs put in place by NASCAR and its partners like American Ethanol.
Accomplishments of NASCAR Green™ programs include the move three years ago to Sunoco Green E15, a fuel blended with 15% American Ethanol.
In the month of April, American Ethanol has committed to planting 50 trees for every American Ethanol green flag waved in all three NASCAR racing series.
Through the course of one mature tree's lifetime, it absorbs one metric ton of carbon dioxide –the same amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series® car driving 500 miles.

Pundits Strike Out on bin Laden
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
On the morning after a new video from Osama bin Laden emerged, ABC's influential "The Note," the political/media online tip sheet, observed: "In the absence of any data to grab onto, it is a near certainty that the vast majority of weekend TV chatterers will assume that the tape is good for the President and bad for Kerry."
One expects the worst from TV new pundits, but one hoped that newspaper reporters and commentators would not lose their heads in a similar manner. For, as "The Note" noted, the outcome of the election may be determined "partly from how the candidates handle this and partly from how the press does."
Apparently the notion that the arrival of the new tape was good for Bush was based on the belief that he is "strong on terrorism," and the reappearance of Osama played into this. This quickly became the conventional wisdom and, possibly, a self-fulfiling prophecy.
Hardly getting equal weight was the idea that the tape reminds us that: (1) 9/11 happened on Bush's watch, (2) Bush has not yet caught bin Laden, perhaps because he (3) switched his attention to Iraq where (4) we have contributed to the terrorist threat against us in numerous tragic ways, not to mention suffering more U.S. casualties (dead and injured) than we absorbed in 9/11, with eight more U.S. Marines added to the tally on Saturday.
Would the press go along with other media, predicting a Bush surge, possibly allowing the bin Laden tape to sway the election (and then express regrets that they allowed this to happen in the weeks ahead)?
The early returns were not good. But the evidence, as of Sunday, apparently proves the pundits wrong.
Here was the early word from Mark Z. Barabak of the Los Angeles Times: "Most analysts thought it would aid Bush, at the least, by changing the subject from stolen Iraqi weapons, doctored campaign ads and other developments that had thrown the president on the defensive for the last few days."
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank noted that the tape could cut both ways, but added: "Weighing in Bush's favor is that Americans have typically rallied around the president when they have felt threatened, and bin Laden's tape is menacing. Also, the fact that bin Laden was making his presence known through a videotape rather than through a Madrid-style attack could be seen as evidence that Bush had done his job of protecting the public."
Then there was David Brooks in his New York Times column: "One of the crucial issues of this election is, 'Which candidate fundamentally gets the evil represented by this man? Which of these two guys understands it deep in his gut – not just in his brain or in his policy statements, but who feels it so deep in his soul that it consumes him?'" Guess who Brooks favors?
On the other hand, The Washington Post's Dana Priest and Walter Pincus pointed out: "Although he directed statements to the American public, many intelligence and other counterterrorism experts concluded bin Laden's primary goal was to use the U.S. campaign season to enhance his public profile rather than to sway the election.
"'The tape is more about his own audience, about getting himself reelected as the head of the movement, than anything else,' said Winston P. Wiley, former CIA deputy director of intelligence.
"Inside the CIA, one senior U.S. counterterrorism official said, 'I've heard it argued either way ... but listen to what he's saying. It doesn't matter who's president.'"
The Boston Globe, after a balanced assessment, closed by quoting Kerry foreign policy adviser Richard Holbrooke: "The important thing, unfortunately, is that Osama bin Laden is alive and looks pretty well. [The tape] raises a much deeper question: How can this grotesque mass murderer be out there on international television more than three years after 9/11?"
Or as Maureen Dowd put it in her Sunday column: "The Bushies' campaign pitch follows their usual backward logic: Because we have failed to make you safe, you should re-elect us to make you safer. Because we haven't caught Osama in three years, you need us to catch Osama in the next four years. ... You'd think that seeing Osama looking fit as a fiddle and ready for hate would spark anger at the Bush administration's cynical diversion of the war on al Qaeda to the war on Saddam."
Her home paper, The New York Times, on Sunday showed the divide between pundits who rely on unnamed insiders and reporters out on the road.
Adam Nagourney weighed in today with a "news analysis" that repeatedly emphasized the "somewhat welcome news for President Bush." Nagourney repeated himself, stating that the tape "reinforced what has been the defining rationale of Mr. Bush's re-election candidacy" and later affirming that the campaign had come full circle "to the moment that has defined Mr. Bush's presidency and shaped his re-election campaign."
But in the same paper today, on the front page, came a report from Kirk Johnson in Colorado, headlined: "Voters, Their Minds Made Up, Say bin Laden Changes Nothing."
Even more telling: numerous daily tracking polls (even the one from Fox News) released Saturday and Sunday showed absolutely no boost for Bush since Friday and, if anything, a slight hike for Kerry. So much for the Bush bounce.

Check out the bear cub & yearling development & behavior I have documented/witnessed :o)
Go to this link: To Visit My Second Chance Wildlife, Inc. FACEBOOK PAGE!
Bears that I have cared for, and observed Will eventually be released back to the wild, The bears this year will be Winter Den released ; I did discuss this prior with biologist Randy Cross. In most cases the bears will be monitored by Him & The MDIFW bear study while living In the Wild. Working together, and having an understanding Is of good ; I have always communicated with biologist In reference to bears, but lately I am having a very difficult time getting a response In particular with the lead bear biologist? I have been trying to get some satellite information.. I have no Idea why they have not responded? I am always upfront and honest, and I always have been, and they know that! I have absolutely nothing to hide. lately there Is a disconnect, and I don't seem to be getting any answers to particular questions? Update March 2014:I am happy to say that communication is starting to resolve some prior issues,and it looks as though they will be resolved..The 2 Lotec collars will be getting new batteries,and if need be, they will be refurbished..and too ;I would like to purchase 2/or 3 new satellite collars from another Co.and I am in the process of getting these cost figures and corresponding with lead bear biologist,and I will directly communicate with the distributor and go from there.All honesty;I never though it would be so difficult just wanting to pay for something-Don't figure..Now that I have finally gotten some feedback-It Is time to move forward. I Will purchase/pay for product immediately with my: Second Chance Wildlife, Inc. account, once everything is ready to order. I really do prefer private donations; because I do not care very much for: Money donations /or grants that have ties with the tangled web; being connected to Government /Unions/Special Interest/or The Washington establishment for that matter = The Machine, and the corruption that goes along with it! No matter what side of the progressive spectrum. SCW, Inc. Is not a government/nor Union run organization, nor a special interest group. Update: I have been trying to go directly through another distributor/Vectronics - In reference to potentially purchasing more satellite/gps collars; I have not received any response as of yet, from the Vectronics Co. ;that being after having had, emailed them on: March 27,2014,and again on: 4-13-2014.It Is now July 20,2014 I am posting this. It indeed has been a waste of my time trying- it has been way to much of a run around with no answers = very frustrating to say the least.I have not had very good luck at all when it comes to simply wanting to get sat collars for my bears - don't figure??
Well ; I sure have some news about my tough little bears: Survivor,Forest & Spruce-They escaped from the den box! I am not really very surprised,but I do like the box for keeping them together..It sounds as though they are doing just fine,...and I am really happy with their behavioral reaction with the the bear crew..I am sure that they will den up together ;that being the most probable scenario at this time of torpor. I received an email from: Biologist Jen Vashon, and this Is what she had emailed me a bit ago March 2014 : By the way, we were in the process of searching for a missing radiocollared bear , and it turned out it was denned not far from the den box of three of your orphans. They had left the den box and were near the side of a plowed logging road. When we approached they all climb the same tree, two going to the very top and one staying about mid-way. Made for a more interesting day and it was nice to see them all together. I like those den box releases---seems like they are more likely to stay together.
Second Chance Wildlife,Inc. Is not open to the general public! There are few whom have permission to be on the premises; and even then it is within guidelines! I keep even my presence to a minimum once the cubs are weaned. WE ARE NOT A CENTER! Purposes so as to keep the bears as wild, and as undisturbed as possible! PEOPLE WHO TRESPASS WITHOUT PERMISSION AND DO NOT REGARD THE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER! and odds are they are on monitor camera recordings. Please give me a call if you would like to learn more about bears; I will do slide show presentations for those who are interested, I love talking about bears, but I will have to schedule. Time & effort has been 100% Volunteer since 1997 .In 2014 some earnings: $4,000 total = That is the only earnings I have ever made in 17 years=most all of the donations go strictly to the bears, and have to gone to other rehabilitated animals that have had In my care,Monies are donated into my SCW,Inc. account and those funds go directly to :material/product cost, supplement food, immediate care supplements, worming, antibiotics, office supplies..( I will only be rehabilitating bears now, and will no longer rehabilitate other species!) I run Second Chance Wildlife Inc. and It Is not a special Interest group. Second Chance Wildlife Inc.is not run or operated by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, nor guided by them, or for that matter anyone else ,not a program, and I really do not care to much at all for most Maine News Papers/Main Stream Media.(" If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed. " THIS IS A GOOD QUOTE BY--MARK TWAIN) If anyone wants real information In reference to SCW,Inc., and has a questions;well than go to the source = Call me /or email me/or go to my fb site, website.. I never want to be run by any Government entity nor union/or special Interest group,or anyone else! But Take Note: I sure do like to think that I ,and The MDIFW biologist have learned from one another; I look at Individuals involved with working with bears and other species, and doing the very best they can. Randy Cross & his crew, and other bear biologist do a great job with preparing the bears just prior to release/or when needed = ear tag ,weigh, measure collar.., and then they monitor the bears once they are released to the wild; being In most cases within the 3 bear study areas. I have a good volunteer working relationship, and I try to communicate with biologist Randy Cross In reference to gathering any data from the bears that I had rehabilitated and have vhf/radio telemetry collars; that are now living In the wild; he keeps me informed on how my bears are faring In the wild, and I will send him and others on occasion some data/information that I have gathered during the rehabilitation process = I rehabilitate bear cubs, and monitor bear development, and document behavior, while bears are In my care, at my facility,and I also post a great deal of this data on my SCW,Inc. fb site. I absolutely love talking about bears and doing presentations or interviews with time permitted. I am very consistent, extremely meticulous, and at times I do not know why it is so difficult to get my point across to others.. My husband Michael helps me much with the upkeep of the facilities, I appreciate all that he does, and we sure work hard trying to keep the pens up to par, and I feel very blessed to have one of the best bear rehabilitation facilities In the country; being second to none! We have a new board member Rick Libbey, and he Is a professional photographer and has taken some photos of the bears, and 20% of the proceeds from the sales of his photos/products goes directly to SCW,Inc. every bit helps.. I too am trying to sell some picks of my own; that I have taken, and 100% proceeds will go to the bears.To learn more about My Maine bears view my website, face book page & youtube videos,and get the latest news & updates.. Thanks, Dawn L. Brown President & executive director, Primary caretaker,bear observer...

Easy to navigate,i like the way that if you deposit your money it goes into sections i.e sports,casino and gameslotto and suchit usually offers GP on horse races,every now and then a free loyalty bet is given.super fast transactions and payouts.their weakness is early prices on horses don,t offer that manyand football 1st goalscorers often short in price.but all in all ideal for 1st time punter.

for my opinion Ladbrokes have the best prices at footbal and basketball events than other online bokkmakers
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Ladbrokes is the top betting site in my opinion. The odds are not always as good as it's rivals but the sheer variety of events they show live really puts the other sites to shame. When you call to make a bet, the staff are always really nice and helpful as well. The area they could maybe improve on is to have more markets in the football, i.e first goalscorer market is only available in selected matches. In general the site is very user friendly and well presented. Keep up the good work.

just been advised despite what they advertise that you only get bog if you bet after 12 midday on the day of the race.for most people who work this is impractical and i have lost out 4 times so betting elsewhere now.thought it would be helpful to others.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
After a couple of month they restricted my sports betting account to very low stakes. No explanation from them. I still can bet at games and casino without any limit. I suppose they don't like to loose. It's a pitty that such a big bookie have to do this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Ladbrokes do have a great range of events to bet on and their pages are easy to navigate but I find myself only using them for reference as their prices are not the best and they have only very recently started offering best odds guaranteed on certain races. Their failure to get prices up early for the Horse Racing is another reason I often go elsewhere.
Ladbrokes reward their customers with loyalty points that is very original and gives loyal customers extra value. Their customer care is very good and try to respond to emails asap.
Ladbrokes are decent, have loads of games and markets and also loads of in-plays. Prices are a bit miserable compared to others and their mobile app needs some work as well as their webpage. Loads of errors and previous bets not showing up which pretty poor. Still worth a look though even to sign up and get a £20 bet free.
Ladbrokes brings the online and high street mix easily and greatly. It gives you the choice of depositing and withdrawing from any of their shops instantly after your bets are settled online in cash too. Also their site is simple and easy to use. Lacks live games to watch though.
If you are a regular punter who bets say a few times a week then Ladbrokes is probably the place you want to be going to as my experience with them is that they seem to be tailored towards the regular punter as I always receive emails from them with free bets inside and this seems to be a regular thing with Ladbrokes.

Acupuncture in Orange Park - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Orange Park acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into a number of trigger points on your body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
Credentials for Orange Park licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in Orange Park needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

County Executive Leopold and Superintendent Maxwell Announce Essay Contest
Essay contest invites thoughts on problems and solutions
Annapolis (September 19, 2008) - County Executive John R. Leopold and Schools Superintendent Dr. Kevin Maxwell today announced an essay contest for all sixth, seventh, and eighth graders that explains issues they face and recommends ways to combat or resolve them.
The winners will be interviewed by the County Executive on "Anne Arundel County's Week in Review."
"Our young people today face many issues," County Executive Leopold said. "This can include peer pressure, feeling like they have too much homework, not enough playtime outdoors, and many other issues that can put pressure on our middle school students. I want to know what the most pressing issues are for them and how they deal with it. This can also help other students that feel the same way but do not know how to cope."
"Our students are clearly our most important priority," Dr. Maxwell said. "I meet with members of a Teen Advisory Group throughout the school year to garner input from students on key issues and that input has a definite impact on decisions we make. This essay contest is another way to get that input, and to provide an opportunity for students to discuss their issues and offer ways to mitigate any problems they face."
There will be six winners in all, with one boy and one girl chosen from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade submissions. The winners will be chosen by a panel that includes county and school officials. The essays should be 300 to 500 words in length. The winning submissions will be featured on the Anne Arundel County Public Schools Website, and each winner will be interviewed by the County Executive for future "Week in Review" segments.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2008.
