I've never been one of those fawning pet owners, the kind who dress up their animals in funny clothes and won't let them be dogs. I guess I can understand some of the extremes when they substitute for children and human companionship, and I have rarely found many humans as loyal as a dog once it decides to latch on to you.
I must confess one of the worst days in my life was when I took Bridget to the veterinarian, knowing she would not return. For 18 years the combination poodle and cocker spaniel had been a beloved member of the family, a sister and companion to all four children. There was a time when the middle kid, Sean, wouldn't kiss anyone but Bridget.
She hated cars and despite her near-blindness, incontinence and the mental impairment of advanced age, that fear still gripped her. But I held her trembling on my lap, driving with one hand to the vet's office, tears streaming down my face. The veterinarian concurred that what was left of her life would only be painful and that it was time for a dignified ending. She was, after all, ancient in dog years.
As I waited to take her home for burial on the hillside in the yard she loved to roam, I thought of all the fun times we had with her — smuggling her into a hotel that prohibited pets by tying Lisa's little bonnet on her head and wrapping her in a doll blanket with the oldest, Scot, cradling her in his arms as we bustled by the front desk to the elevators.
I remembered her sitting patiently every day in front of the mail slot, having been advised by some inner clock that it was time for the postman. She never was more than a few minutes off. She would spring into action the second the slot was opened, yanking the mail and slinging it about all the while growling ferociously. On the other side of the door, the mail deliverer would die laughing. He loved the game as much as she. For years every piece of mail had bite marks in it.
While all this took place years ago, the memories came flooding back with the news that Michael Vick, the very rich and talented quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, had agreed to plead guilty to charges in connection with a dog fighting enterprise in Virginia. It was not just the fact that dogs were encouraged to rip up each other in sick and sadistic high stakes events but also that animals that failed to perform were drowned, shot and even hanged that made me furious. We are now being told that these violations of every humane instinct occur rather regularly, particularly in the South. Vick's arrest has brought a public awareness of this tragic behavior that may help curtail it.
One can only hope that this is true, but it will not change the fact that a young man with athletic abilities only a relatively few people possess also apparently is utterly devoid of the qualities that separate the civilized from the uncivilized. More frightening is the fact that he certainly is not alone in his disregard for the laws of man and nature.
Vick is expected to pay with a loss of freedom and privileges and a great deal of money. The National Football League is taking its time deciding whether he has any future with it. That should be a simple decision. The NFL needs to send a message to every current and aspiring player that it considers this transgression or anything similar to it an automatic disqualification forever — that the very repugnance of the act has been made more so by the fact that it was carried out without apparent remorse.
What may never be answered clearly in this case is why someone who has signed a multi-year contract for more than $100 million, plus a bonus of more than $20 million for agreeing to do so, would imperil that with an endeavor so clearly abhorrent. The only answer would seem to be a combination of arrogance and a stunning lack of morality.
But then as one who cried while digging a hole to bury the furry, little body of a longtime friend, I guess my opinion is prejudiced.

Well put…
…as a dog person, I so agree –
…as do the jurors in this link –
Revel in your loving kindness Dan,theres too little of it in todays world….Signed, fellow animal lover…
I buried my best friend too. I've tried to express it many times, but 19 years later it still hurts too much. Thanks.
Lexie Homewood
I've shared my adult life with dogs for the past 34 years. I just lost, on Wednesday, the finest, bravest, smartest and most loyal of the bunch. She was, as dog lovers say, my Heart Dog. I'll be grieving her loss for some time to come.
I have been appalled by the occasional parties coming forth to defend Michael Vick, saying that when he pays his "debt to society" all should be forgiven. This man not only did inhuman and inhumane evil, but that very fact shows that he has a fatal flaw, a character deficit that I believe nothing can rehabilitate. I hope when he gets out of jail he cannot find anyone who is willing to hire him for anything.
mr. hirsh:
A sports columnist from the Seattle P-I has already worked out the future redemption of Vick as only he and his fellow sportswriters can make us feel it. O. J. Simpson would not have been freed if it weren't for
his audience. It's the same audience that MSNBC catered to when it was outside Paris Hilton's house waiting for her to go back to jail. Jesus, thank God for Netflix. I don't have to take it anymore, either. But the medium works; let's face it! As far as going the other way with pets, that is, humanizing them, my Yorkie has a purple sweater and her meals are made out of human food recipes, thanks to China. She's over fifteen years old and out to set a record, just like my mother-in-law.
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about "humanizing" pets. We have four dogs, two goldfish and a cat. We'd never dare to try to humanize them — even the goldfish are our spiritual superiors, we realize. To humanize them would be to debase them.
We strive only to serve and please them.
Another one…
…that SOOO gets it! –
…as did the wise man in the NPR story I heard heading home to my furkid – he said, with all Vicks money there was no reason the dogs needed PTS – he should be made to keep them comfortable until –
…my mom got an email this week that summed up our love for pets – talked about having to let a dog cross to The Rainbow Bridge – and a youngster took in stride – he expressed while he wasn't 'sad' –
"People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
…excuse me while I go rub my Sibe's tummy! –
I'm surprised at this being posted here on CHB but, since it has been, I will add my 2 cents. As one who grew up on a working cow ranch and is fully tuned into the understanding of the laws of nature on this planet, I suspect that I have a much more realistic attitude towards the life, purpose, and death of animals than the rest of you. I've birthed, nursed, fed, killed, slaughtered, dressed out, cut up, and ate just about every mamal, fowl, etc. that would be fit for human consumption. Also, I've had animals with which I have had an amazingly close bond akin to love. Especially, a horse and a dog and a cat. Each was very special.
The main thing my background provides me with is a respect for all living things. I have seen many a dog fight but none that I (and anyone else present) did not put an end to asap. Bull fighting and dog fighting are two of the worst forms of animal abuse. No animal should ever be subjected to anything for which nature did not intend. In our need to produce food for people we have subjected many animals to terrible abuse. Forunately, animal rights groups have corrected most of that.
Like most of you I consider those who would seek to excuse Michael Vick and allow him to return to influence the youth of america as a star football player to be the most selfish people on earth. They don't care what he has done, they just want to have their thrill by watching him do things on a football field no one else can do and then they can brag about eyewitnessing it later in life. Michael Vick is a cruel and depraved human being. He should be shunned by all of society and prevented from ever being allowed in a position where he can be held in esteem for anything other than campaigning, and advocating for animal rights. That should be his sentence. At least 20 years of it! He doesn't have to actually feel that way but he should be forced to perform that way in order to pay his debt to animals > NOT SOCIETY <> animals!!!

Rajon Rondo made triple-doubles a regular occurrence last season, when the Celtics point guard recorded six regular-season triple-doubles and four more in the playoffs. With 10 playoff triple-doubles, Rondo is tied with former Celtic Larry Bird for the third-most playoff triple-doubles in NBA history.
Rondo achieved another triple-double of a different kind this summer.
In an Instagram photo tweeted by a user named Gerard Austria, Rondo purportedly is shown in the Philippines with three lovely young women at a lounge or club. Dressed in a silver jumpsuit, Rondo is the picture of comfort.
Check out Rondo hanging out in the tweet below.

What I bought – 20 January 2010
"They get a thrill here – that's why they come. They take stupendous joy in the indignation and compassion they feel on account of these mangled stiffs; it's their roller coaster. I know this," he said, making a tragic incision across the abdomen of an adolescent girl, "and I'll tell you why. Since I'm here all the time and take apart fifty of these things a day, I can't feel for each and every one of them. I'm not God. I don't have that much in me. The ladies' aides and the social critics sense immediately that I couldn't give a goddamn about all this inedible meat, and that's just what they want. They know they're better than the miserable bastards they try to help, but they really enjoy thinking that they're better than the rest of us, who aren't as 'compassionate' as they are." He turned to Peter Lake again, and said, "You notice how often that very word escapes their lips. They use it like a cudgel. Beware." (Mark Helprin, from Winter's Tale)

Topics covered within the Learning Strategies component include how to use memory to best advantage, mnemonics, reading comprehension techniques, and classroom etiquette. Topics covered within the Test-Taking component include how to prepare for tests, how to takes tests, and a relaxation technique. The strategies taught are considered "best practice" in the field.

Q: How do I know my child will use the information from the course?
A: First, all techniques taught in the class are reinforced throughout the week during class. For example, a method of notating homework assignments is taught, and this method is used throughout the week to write down Study Skills homework assignments. Secondly, brief assignments are made each day to reinforce the day's learning. For example, on the first day, students are asked to prepare their study area at home. Often times, students will be asked to teach parents strategies learned that day in class. Finally, a parent meeting is scheduled on Monday night, the first day of the course. During this time, parents are briefly exposed to each of the strategies being taught to the students. Armed with this knowledge, we hope that parents will reinforce use of the strategies during the year.
Q: What is the cost of the course?
A: Currently, tuition for the course is $185, which includes supplies and the parent meeting.
Q: Who sponsors the Study Skills program?
A: The Psychoeducational Clinic at NCSU sponsors Study Skills. The Clinic is affiliated with the APA approved School Psychology Training Program, housed within the Department of Psychology at NCSU. The Clinic serves both as a resource for the community by offering quality assessment and intervention services for learners of all ages and as a training facility for doctoral students in the School Psychology program.
Q: How can I get further information?
A: Should you have any further questions, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Psychoeducational Clinic at 515-1713. If no one is available to take your call, leave your name and number so that we can contact you.
Q: How do I register for the 2014 classes?
A: 1) Download and complete the registration form (preferred) or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send you one via e-mail.
2) You must return the registration form along with a non-refundable deposit of $50. Once these materials are received, you will receive a confirmation of enrollment or waiting list status.

NEW YORK Three new bulk ferrous scrap sales to Turkey off the East Coast were concluded late last week, sending prices upward after a two-week lull.
Market participants said that the primary driver for higher prices was a strong increase in Mid-Atlantic prices due to scrap flow concerns.
Two U.S. exporters sold mixed bulk cargoes to different consumers late Friday at $405 per tonne c.i.f. Turkey for an 80/20 mix of No. 1 and No. 2 heavy melt.
One exporter sold around 27,000 tonne of HMS 1&2 (80:20), 10,000 tonnes of shred and 5,000 tonnes of plate and structural scrap at $405, $410 and $415 per tonne c.i.f., respectively, according to several market sources. The second exporter sold about 32,000 tonnes of HMS 1&2 (80:20) and 13,000 tonnes of shred at $405 and $410 per tonne c.i.f., respectively.
A little later, news broke of a third bulk sale off the East Coast by a third exporter at $416 per tonne c.i.f. Turkey for a 42,000-tonne vessel carrying only plate and structural scrap. Although large-volume shipments of plate and structural have historically commanded a $15 premium over HMS 1&2 (80:20), sources said the cargo sold at the usual $10 to $11 premium over heavy melt.
The $405-per-tonne price for HMS 1&2 (80:20) is about $11 to $12 above the last confirmed sales from the United States, although a slight reprieve in bulk freight rates allowed pre-shipping prices of scrap some additional strength.
As a result, AMMs East Coast Ferrous Scrap Export Index for HMS 1&2 (80:20) settled Monday at $382.82 per tonne f.o.b. New York, up 3.9 percent from $368.43 previously.
Late Monday, one source said that a U.S. exporter had sold an additional two cargoes at $407 per tonne for HMS 1&2 (80:20), indicating further strength in export tags.
Sources in Turkey, however, questioned how long the market can support higher tags, with one source capping the price at $410 per tonne. "Flat product prices in Turkey are on the top and expected to decrease. Local U.S. scrap consumption is weak; therefore, there will be no shortage and most of the collected cargoes will go for export," he said.
"There is a slight upward trend in finished product prices in export markets. However, raw material prices are climbing faster and as usual mills are at a loss to catch up," a second source said. "Another setback for Turkish mills was last weeks announcement from the United Arab Emirates that they will now impose a 5-percent tax on Turkish steel bar shipments. This is very bad news for Turkish mills, and it means a loss of almost 100,000 tonnes per month in export volume. We do not expect much activity in the next few days, as the domestic market is very slow and product prices are low. Demand from export markets is weak as well."
A third source noted that Turkish mills had been hit by a similar tax in Egypt, but a fourth source said that Turkeys recently approved budget for infrastructure development could have an early "psychological impact" on prices in Turkey. "Then actual demand will follow suit," he said.
On the West Coast, only one bulk ferrous scrap export sale reportedly was concluded late last week at an average price of $417 per tonne c.i.f. China for a cargo carrying two-thirds heavy melt and one-third shred.
That lone sale put AMMs West Coast Ferrous Scrap Export Index for HMS 1&2 (80:20) at $376.01 per tonne f.o.b. Los Angeles, a 3.2-percent increase from $364.50 previously.

From Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
-- For the second year in a row, a statewide survey of more than 100 known bat wintering sites has found no signs of White-nose syndrome, a deadly disease that has killed more than 6.7 million bats in the Eastern United States and Canada.
"Neither the fungus nor the disease was found in Wisconsin," according to David Rendell, bat ecologist. Bats are voracious insect eaters, helping keep crop and forest pests and mosquitoes in check. A recent national study estimated the insect-eating services that bats provide between $658 million to $1.5 billion alone for Wisconsin's agricultural industry.
To determine if the disease was present in Wisconsin caves and mines with wintering bats, the DNR bat surveillance crew searched 114 sites for signs including a fuzzy white fungus on the nose, mouth and ears of hibernating bats, and unusual behavior like bats hibernating near cave entrances where it's colder or bats flying outside during the day during winter.
The sites searched represented 95 percent of the known underground locations and was one of the most extensive surveillance efforts in North America, Redell said. The sites had been identified by DNR crews last year from among 800 potential sites searched and determined to have bats present and conditions suitable for the fungus.
Redell believes that the arrival of the White-nose syndrome in Wisconsin is still imminent, since the disease was detected along the Mississippi River corridor, but the delay has provided the "great benefit of time."
"The more time we have for research to understand how this disease spreads throughout populations of bats, the better able we can assess options that may possibly slow down the arrival and devastating effects of the disease," Redell says.
The delay also has given DNR staff time to work with private landowners to help them take voluntary steps to keep the disease out of caves and mines, with commercial tourist cave operators to educate visitors about the disease and prevention steps and for recreational cavers to learn how to decontaminate their gear to avoid accidentally spreading the fungus.
White-nose syndrome, so-called because the fungus leaves a powdery white fuzz on hibernating bats' noses, ears and wings, kills 70 to 100 percent of bats in contaminated caves. It was discovered in New York in 2006 and has since spread to 16 states and four Canadian provinces.
In January, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimated that 5.7 million to 6.7 million bats had died from white nose. Bat populations are susceptible to decline because of low reproductive rates -- mothers typically give birth to just one pup per year -- and white-nose syndrome has been particularly deadly to bats.
Wisconsin has one of the highest concentrations of hibernating bats in the Midwest. Some bats from neighboring states of Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan—up to 300,000 bats—spend winters here so any disease affecting Wisconsin's hibernacula has far reaching impacts on the summer landscape.

In November 2006, the Maasai Mara was named as the eighth wonder of the world because of what experts termed as "the uniqueness of the area and the preservation it provides to so many species living in harmony." It is understandable because this annual migration is the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is 270 km from Nairobi, a five hour drive or 45 min by air. For a full package of scenery, game and the ultimate bush experience, the Mara is the place to be. The National Reserve was the shooting location for the film Out of Africa and rema0.ins the location for the British Broadcasting Corporation's big cat wildlife series. The resting place of the big five, the reserve's major attraction is the great wildebeests and zebras migration from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara. This annual event happens between July and September and is the greatest show on earth. These animals cross over to Kenya through the Mara River. You are bound to see the pretentious crocodiles lazing away under the water only to dramatically break out of their sleep and snap up the migrating wildebeests and zebra.
Dinner and overnight at Mara Siana camp or similar.
Day 2

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Boys Basketball: Marian Catholic overruns Thornton for McDipper championship
By Pat Disabato email@example.com December 30, 2013 10:06PM
Tyler Ulis, of Marian Catholic, splits the Thornton defense going in for the basket for the McDipper Tournament Championship Game at Rich South, Monday, December 30th, 2013, in Richton Park. | Gary Middendorf~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: February 1, 2014 6:20AM
Tyler Ulis wasn't going to allow the chance to lead Marian Catholic to consecutive McDipper championships slip away.
Not even after seven-time McDipper champion Thornton raced out to an 8-1 lead Monday night.
By the time the first quarter ended, the Spartans erased their seven-point deficit and tied the game at 14.
By halftime, behind an awe-inspiring display by Ulis, Marian opened a 12-point halftime lead and cruised to a 75-58 victory over Thornton to claim McDipper 41 at Rich South.
Ulis finished with a game-highs of 28 points and six assists. For good measure, he pulled down four rebounds.
"I had no thoughts in my mind we were going to lose," said Ulis, who earned McDipper MVP honors for the second straight year. "Even when they were ahead 8-1, I had no doubt we were going to win."
Josh Cohn and Terrone Parham provided quality support, finishing with 13 and 12 points, respectively, for the Spartans (10-1). Ki-Jana Crawford was a force as well, adding nine points, seven boards and customary tenacious defense. Chris Austin came off the bench and canned two three-pointers for Marian, which is the first team to register back-to-back McDipper championships since Thornton accomplished the feat in 2004 and '05.
"It's these kids," Marian coach Mike Taylor said. "They just have a hunger and they love playing together."
Ulis, however, was a show-stopper, constantly thrilling the capacity crowd with precision no-look passes and myriad baskets. The Kentucky recruit keyed a 13-2 run to start the second quarter that was the difference. When he put the finishing touches on a jaw-dropping move to the paint that resulted in an easy bucket, the Spartans' lead had swelled to 27-16.
"He gets that look in his eyes and says, 'Let's go,' " Taylor said of Ulis. "He such a darn competitor."
Thornton got as close as nine on multiple occasions in the second half, the final time coming at the 2:41 mark of the fourth quarter when Keondre Woods' bucket made it 65-56. Woods finished with 15 points.
Any thoughts of a late rally were squelched when Parham buried a three-pointer that made it 70-56.
Despite the loss, Thornton (7-4) served notice its a team to reckon with the rest of the season.
"It's very disappointing," said Thornton's Jamani Pierce, who finished with 16 points and seven rebounds before fouling out. "But we played well overall. I know we're a team that can make a run."
Justin Taylor added nine points for the Wildcats.

You know the advantages of AHA.
Do your patients?
Even with familiar phrases like acid test, acid music, and acid rain, the word "acid" still brings up caustic connotations to many consumers, which can be challenging when those consumers are patients, and you're suggesting they put alpha-hydroxy acid on their body. While the benefits of your patients using an alpha-hydroxy lotion for dry skin far outweigh doing nothing at all, we believe your patients will be more likely to have a successful outcome if they understand the science behind an alpha-hydroxy cream or lotion.
Dry Skin and KP
We encourage you to share the following video with your patients. This simple video spotlights dry skin associated with keratosis pilaris (KP), which you are aware is a very common condition that affects an astounding 40 percent of the world's population1. The video demonstrates the exfoliating properties of lactic acid—an AHA used in AmLactin® alpha-hydroxy skin care moisturizers.

To tell or not to tell is the question....
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 03-17-2012 - 9:07am
I was hoping that Andy's thread would inspire someone to start a discussion down here re whether one should or should not tell their spouse they had an A. I know that some of you had no choice due to discovery, but for those of you who have managed to get past your A without disclosure, perhaps you would like to tell the readers how and why you chose this path, and how it is working for you. Then there are some of you who have come clean to your spouse, and I would like to hear the pros and cons of this decision. I don't want this to turn into a debate, but rather a mature exchange of opinions.
I was single and never had to face this decision, although I did eventually tell my adult children. They had already sensed my fondness for XAP, so I felt I owned them the truth.
|Sat, 03-17-2012 - 11:44am
Just like A's, we all have differing opinions on this subject.
I have chosen the Don't Ask, Don't Tell approach.
To those who don't know my story, I have been on the other side of a DDay many times.
|Sun, 03-18-2012 - 11:38am
I deeply respect the opinions from both sides, as long as the reasons behind that opinion are coming from a right-minded heart.
|Sun, 03-18-2012 - 12:37pm
One could argue they have a right to know. Sure, do I feel guilt that I deeply deceived my H for about 2 years, do I feel guilt that he has more or less been living a lie for two years? Of course I do, everyday, but I think his not knowing outweighs the pain he would have and the life altering experience he would have to go through. He has also commented that the friends we have that have told he agrees with me that these men should have kept their mouths shut. He has said that as long as it is over, they are sorry, realize they made a mistake and are trying to remain committed to their W and family that that is what's important and that it was selfish for them to have told. I have to agree with him.
My H confronted me twice about my "friendship" with x, I denied like a crazy lady. I often fear those questions could come again, I think he had to know something was up between us in order to ask twice and he believed me because that was easier to swallow than the truth. I feel guilty about that too, if it ever comes out one day, those two confrontations will just be salt in the wound as well. As are terrible things, I had lost all rational perspective. I regret that I have even put my H and kids in a position that could harm all of them. My behavior is shocking to me.
I will carry this secret. This whole A has taken its toll on me and I regret it ever happening. I did it though and I do not want to hurt anyone else if I can avoid it.
|Sun, 03-18-2012 - 2:48pm
If you wouldn't mind, could you expound more on what you meant by some DDays were better than others? I also need to ask you, "Why did you stayed M. and after what she has put you through, why would you deny your own A? Have the two of you ever had MC?
This is all subjective to me, my situations, and above all are my opinions.
When younger I felt it was just a bad situation and it wasn't as unusual as a lot of my friends were going through the same problems. Somehow when you are younger you can accept a lot more.
|Tue, 03-20-2012 - 3:18pm
Would you have handled it differently had your W not had affairs?
It is only speculation at this point but I believe that is why I was so open, (and ready) for an A.
|Sun, 04-08-2012 - 4:16pm
I find this thread very interesting as I still think about this question on a daily basis even though the A has been over for over 3 months...we've not been nc the whole time, but the A has been over.
|Tue, 11-13-2012 - 6:59pm
I think this is really an important question and think it is worth serious consideration. I read an interview with a therapist and a man who was feeling really bad about an affair he had some ten years earlier and the therapist advised him not to tell his spouse as so much time had passed and the devastation of the spouse vs healing in the relationship was well past relevance. I remember being very angry about that advice and it took me a long time to accept this as reasonably good advice as I am a betrayed spouse and feel strongly that spouses deserve the right to know what is happening within their marriage.
I'm a betrayed spouse, four plus years out from d-day. I still feel strongly about a betrayed spouse's right to know, but see the wisdom of not inflicting the devastation on a spouse after so many years. I don't know what the right answers are; buy may I share what and why I feel that the betrayed spouse deserves to right to know.
My spouse had four affairs, three physical and one emotional. Strangers knew a great deal about very intimate and troubling things regarding my children, myself, and my spouse that I was not being made aware of. There was a small handful of friends and family who also knew about the affair that never gave me a heads-up and could have prevented my spouse from making further devastating decisions. After my spouse admitted to an affair, it was absolutely humiliating to find out that so many people knew about intimate problems in my marriage that I wasn't being made aware of. That fact added a significant layer of pain to an already painful discovery. I will say that I'm just as upset with those people, innocent or not, as I was with my spouse. They didn't deserve to know what was going on with my family. I did. I deserved to know these things even though it took me two painful years to get over the discovery and to repair our relationship.
What I feel I absolutely deserve to know is when the affair['s] started, when and where they occurred, if they were physical and if they involved sex, and when and if it ended. I don't believe it was ever useful for me to know the physical details of the sexual encounters my spouse had. I still can't shake those images and they continue to be problematic in our intimacy four years out. She shielded me from some of that and I think it was wise to do so.
It would not have been ok for strangers to know things about my marriage that I didn't. Even though it was unbelievably painful finding out.
my two cents.

The more the U.S. government spends on offensive techniques, the greater its interest in making sure that security holes in widely used software remain unrepaired, says Reuters
Although the United States government accuses other nations of cyber espionage it intelligence and military agencies are actually among the world's biggest buyers of hacking tools, according to a recent special report from newswire agency Reuters.
The preemptive strategy worries some people in the technology industry because the tools being bought by the U.S. relies on vulnerabilities of existing software programs.
"The more the government spends on offensive techniques, the greater its interest in making sure that security holes in widely used software remain unrepaired," Reuters said.
The U.S. government's strategy of buying up exploits makes sense, according to some national security officials and security executives, because it prevents these exploits from falling into the hands of organized criminals and repressive regimes.
The interest of the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. intelligence agencies such as the National Security Agency, in information about security holes of computer systems is encouraging the growth of a market in exploits, according to security researchers and former government officials.
U.S. lawmakers point to China as cause of cyberattacks
Report: Flame US-Israeli cyberattack against Iran
"If the U.S. government knows of a vulnerability that can be exploited, under normal circumstances, its first obligation is to tell U.S. users," according to Richard Clarke, a former White House cybersecurity adviser. "There is supposed to be some mechanism for deciding how they use the information for offensive or defense. But there isn't."
Instead, the situation has resulted in many talented hackers who previously alerted companies like Microsoft Corp to security flaws in their software now turning to selling information on exploits sometimes to defense contractors.
"Defense contractors and agencies spend at least tens of millions of dollars a year on just exploits, which are the one essential ingredient in a broader cyber-weapons industry generating hundreds of millions annually," the report said.

Filing system

I've got to admit that my computer and physical filing systems leave a lot to be desired and I desperately need to get them into shape.
My current 'system' is that I give each new contract a number, and a new folder is made in My Docs\My Company Name\Contract name. So far so good. But within those files there are all sorts of stuff. Plus there are other files like insurance info, tax info, accounts, banking, etc. etc. Plus all the emails (outlook).
I could do with rationalising everything into a much more simple system. Is there anybody out there that has a good filing system?

is to first draw it on a sheet of paper. Put yourself at the top, and then construct a tree diagram. In my office we use this method to design complex website navigation systems, although we use software to do the drawings.
The idea is obvioulsy to be able to drill down to a document in the shortest number of mouse clicks, and that often means splitting document types into sections of their own, rather than keeping all client files together in one directory. For instance, it may be better to create a folder called 'quotations', and have sub-directories within it, one for each client name (or number), rather than put each client's quoation documents in with other doc types in one client folder.
When you search for a document for a client called 'Jones manufacturing' you already know what it is you're looking for, and if it's a quotation it's probably quicker to go to 'Quotations' and click on 'Jones' than it is to go to 'Clients/Jones/docs/quotation
I hope I've made that understandable - I assure you it works very well. Inside each sub-folder you can have others: 2007 say, and 2008, so everything is filed under a year, or even a month.
To sum up - it can be easier to keep each client's documents by content type, rather than lumping them all under one roof.

It does beg the question, what about other business files such as excel account files, letters to accountant, insurers, etc. I guess that they can be given files such 'accounts', letters, etc.
I will do the tree diagram as you suggest and see what comes up.

Two banks that were trustees for one of the biggest frauds in Orange County history have offered $106 million to make investors go away -- but it may not be enough.
Wells Fargo Bank and Bank of New York Mellon struck a secret deal in recent weeks with the court-appointed receiver for Medical Capital Holdings, a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. Now attorneys who are suing the banks are trying to scuttle the deal.
Investors lost about $1 billion in Tustin-based MedCap. The company, which claimed to be selling investments in medical receivables, actually was investing in money-losing hospitals, a medical nuclear reactor, a movie about a Mexican Little League team and a 115-foot yacht, the Homestretch.
Top officer Joseph J. "Joey" Lampariello pleaded guilty to wire fraud and failure to file a tax return last week and could get 21 years in federal prison.
Attorneys packed the courtroom of U.S. District Judge David O. Carter Wednesday to argue over the proposed settlement. Carter ordered them to see a mediator and return to court on July 23.
The stakes are high:
Two rival groups of investors, each with their own team of lawyers and conflicting legal theories, sued the banks in 2010. The two sides appear to be united only in their opposition to the banks and their fury at Seaman in making a deal behind their backs.
Carter wanted to know: Why the secrecy? Why not invite the plaintiff's attorneys to the settlement talks? Surely, he suggested, the plaintiff's attorneys "might have driven up the value (of the settlement) by $25 or $100 million?"
Ron Malone, Seaman's attorney, said that "as a group (the plaintiff's attorneys) were dysfunctional and there was open warfare among them." If we had invited them to settlement talks with the banks, he added, "we would not agree on the shape of the table, much less a settlement."
Wylie Aitken, one of the plaintiff's attorneys, said Seaman and his attorneys "suggest that they can hijack our clients. ... I just don't think that's the way we should be proceeding."

Pretty Little Liars Review: Waiting for A-nswersby Teresa Lopez at . Updated at . Comments
That's it!?!?
After months of waiting, the Pretty Little Liars return was a quite the letdown, wasn't it?
Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Episode 1 involved a whole lot of waiting and not a lot of action or even some great scares. It's true we got a good reveal at the end, but like most PLL fans, I'm hesitant to think that "it really is over."
And just what did we find out?
Shana is A...or at least she's the A that attempted to kill Alison and then shot Ezra. I was definitely suspicious of Shana when she showed up at the hospital acting all sorts of shifty.
It wasn't that much of surprise when she also showed up at the theater, but it was shocking that she was dispatched (from both the scene and the show) so quickly.
But clearly Shana isn't the only A. There was an entire park full of masked and hooded figures taunting the liars in a scene that was supposed to be spooky but came off as rather goofy.
Plus, wasn't Shana scared off by A in Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Episode 18? How does that work if she's one of the A-team? I'm guessing that was the point when the real A recruited Shana for his/her cause... or convinced Shana to avenge her true love Jenna.
Shana's rationale for betraying Alison makes a lot of sense because Alison has made so many enemies I'm surprised she has any friends to help her anymore. In fact, Alison's horrible past lead to one of the other big plot points of the evening: Mona's Army.
After finding out that Alison is no longer undercover, Mona starts preparing for her former bully's return to Rosewood by recruiting anyone who Alison had ever teased mercilessly with a hurtful nickname.
Lucas is there, as is Paige, who seems to decide this club is not for her until a final member arrives - Melissa. This group could turn into quite the formidable enemy for Alison if this whole A thing is going to be dropped for awhile.
However, let's be clear: departing from the central mystery would be seriously frustrating for loyal viewers! I'm not saying that Janel Parrish's Mona isn't awesome to watch in action, but I need a lot more A-nswers first.
I'm probably the most interested in Melissa's secret. She confessed something to her father during Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Episode 24, something that would exonerate Spencer.
So, did she kill that other girl?
My gut says probably not, but I think she knows who did and it's someone close to her or her family. Her father's insistence that no one, not even her mother, can know the truth suggests it might be Melissa. Although she seems to feel a lot of guilt about the other girl's death, she doesn't seem that torn up about it.
But Melissa isn't the only one still holding onto secrets; it looks like Alison still has some left to confess. She revealed CeCe's part in this A-drama to Emily, but there has to be more. No one survives that long on their own (especially as a teenager) without a lot more help.
The season may have started with a disappointing installment, but it did set up some interesting villains for the next season.
Who is going to be the biggest trouble this season for the liars?
Here's your first look at Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Episode 2, "Whirly Girl."
Turns out Alison was there to save the girls so many times: Emily from the saw, pulling Emily out of the garage, pulling all of them out of the fire, etc. Plus, a girl with Ali's looks, whose picture has been posted all over the nation, would need to at least cut her hair to be less noticable. I am curious about Mona's army—and Melissa's secret and her role in the army. I rather liked the theater set, but I'm amazed that the girls slept and slept soundly.

Am I the only one whos wondering whats happened too Mrs D. The end of season 4 she was knocked out n buried alive yet theres been no mention of it
Comment modified at
Quite underwhelming! I don't know, it's just got boring to be mislead so much, Shana was attacked by A, just a couple of eps ago. The Mona story would be fine if they concluded the A story, but now it's just pushing the A story to the side. Just like the Ezra story did. And what's this shit about just a month passing since the Halloween ep? Will the girls ever exit high school????

Ugh. Bless you for reviewing this and finding so much to talk about. I had to rewind and watch several scenes more than once to see if I was missing something exciting. I wasn't. Sigh.

I too would cluelessly whine about one episode of a show that just announced it has another THREE SEASONS left to tell it's entire story....... seriously TV Fanatic, i've read a fair bit of your site over the last few months and you've got some great reviewers who use actual common sense when reviewing most shows but you've had the most beyond wrong/godawful person reviewing PLL now for god knows how long. you've done the equivalent of picking an impatient, clueless whiny crybaby who somehow expects EVERY answer in EVERY episode to review a Lost-like, extremely detailed mystery show where the whole point and appeal of the show is that they give answers and then give more questions! the Ravenswood reviewer definitely wasn't lacking common sense, give this for them to review instead because i'm definitely not wasting my time reading this nonsense again, let alone every week.

|I bought a home with an already installed pergola attached to the house. A few years ago I removed the crosspieces because they were in bad condition. The main structure seems to be OK, but some of the supports are damaged at the base. There is a little termite damage and the metal straps which secure the posts to the cement pieces are rusted through.
Can the supports be repaired? I've thought about complete replacement with vinyl, but I like to have hanging pots and such, and I have never seen that with a vinyl pergola.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 13 at 16:28
|I would definitely replace those posts and the anchors. Buy hot-dip galvanized post supports (won't rust) that keep the wood off the concrete. Something like this:
Make sure the posts are pressure treated (PT) wood (insect and rot resistant), and I'd recommend 6x6 (current code) instead of 4x4.
Can you post some photos of the whole pergola? Might have some other suggestions.

In GlobalGiving's fifth Online Fundraising Academy session, we invited our own Alison Carlman, to share tips and key lessons she's learned in donor communications. In her role as Unmarketing Manager, Alison is responsible for engaging the GlobalGiving community and for telling the stories of GlobalGiving and its partner projects. In 2013, Alison and her team raised $270,000 from donor emails.
Session Recording: http://www.anymeeting.com/globalgivingUS/EF54D686844C
Listen, test, learn, repeat – experimentation and testing key to improving work
- Listen to your audience, peers, research
- Test assumptions in experiments
- Learn from your experiments
- Do it again and again and again!
This is how GlobalGiving Listens, Tests, Learns and Repeats:
- Users – your audience, the people who receive messages
- To improve our e-newsletter, we got feedback from users – who opens, donates, clicks
- What we learned:
- Keep it short – people don't read news
- Talk about the users, not you – what's relevant to them, why they should care
- Made it even shorter
- Use big images – people click on the header image
- Use clear images with one person making eye contact.
- Add humor, make it clever and unexpected – include jokes, puns
- Have a big and clear call-to-action – make your ask clear and easy for users to do
- Personalize it! – add people's names, send personalized thank you. Users like to know they've been thought of, not just written to the masses.
- Peers – similar organizations you can learn from
- charity: water – use beautiful image, well laid-out, formatted for mobile phones, very little text, interesting lead text, unexpected, humorous and large call-to-action
- donorschoose.org – personalized by state, simple and short, made it sound urgent, very clear request
- Kiva – personalized, clear call-to-action, made it look like it was forwarded by a staff member
- Did A/B testing (divide users into 2 groups and provided a different email to each group to see which email did better)
- Kiva's "trick" forwarded email performed 2x as well
- Personalizing really works!
- What we learned:
- Use beautiful imagery.
- Make it mobile friendly
- Keep it brief.
- Use interesting lead text.
- Try unexpected/humorous (but still visibly clear) calls-to-action.
- Try unexpected subject lines and formats
- Project report titles are now the subject line when project reports are sent out to GlobalGiving donors
- Theory – what does the research say?
- The Science of Giving – check out Christopher Olivola's website (he's the co-editor) with resources/links about the book
- Money for Good first study
- Money for Good second study
- What we learn from research:
- Shorten distance between user and subject matter – connect them to one person/animal/object. Easier to feel like you can make a difference in one person's life than a big group.
- Tell a compelling story about that one person – how a person has overcome an obstacle or how they have potential to overcome obstacles
- Donors will give if they feel it will bring them close to people in their network – focus on what you can do for your users. Give them something to share so they can connect to their social network.
- People give more when it's easy – Make the process to give as easy as possible. And give reminders
- Not all donors are the same – these tips won't work for everyone. Need different messages for different donors.
Test, learn and repeat
- Look at metrics to measure success of email

FaceUp: Guitar World
Frequency: Every four weeks (13 issues a year)
Launched: 1990
Circ: 180-200k
Publishing Company: Future US
Design Director: Alexis Cooke
To pull off any cover honoring Beatles legends John Lennon or Paul McCartney, words like ŌĆ£monumentalŌĆØ and ŌĆ£iconicŌĆØ need to be part of the conversation. Guitar World editor-in-chief Brad Tolinski and design director Alexis Cook expanded that conversation in order to avoid typical rock stereotypes for their magazineŌĆÖs holiday issueŌĆöand expanded their vision to give both Lennon and McCartney the front-man treatment on each of their own covers.
Tolinski emphasizes that the double covers were meant to reflect the solo careers of Paul and John. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs some collectorŌĆÖs mentality around this,ŌĆØ he explains,┬Ā ŌĆ£but in this particular case, it also made editorial sense. This issue wasnŌĆÖt about The Beatles, it was about their solo careers, so it seemed a little disingenuous to put them together on one cover.ŌĆØ
Artistic Guesswork
The first step to creating a fresh cover was finding photos of the icons that were unique, but felt like they made sense together. With Apple having cornered the market on photos of The Beatles, and with the unique challenge of needing two images that featured guitars, Guitar World was limited in its choices. Once theyŌĆÖd settled on two distinct photographs, Cook turned to illustrator Sean McCabe to bring some cohesiveness to the images. The grainier, black-and-white picture of Lennon required some intensive hand-coloring to make it jive with the McCartney photograph, and some deliberate use of cropping and scale was executed to make sure the photos worked well as a pair.
The coversŌĆÖ decorative flair, a contemporary reference to a psychedelic era, adds another element of visual connection to the two personalities. But it wasnŌĆÖt done without some hesitations. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a thin difference between making something look cool and classy as opposed to some sort of truck bumper sticker,ŌĆØ Tolinski says. ŌĆ£So instead of going with a gaudy rainbow, we tried a metallic silver foil.ŌĆØ
The foil process was something new to the magazine that brought unique challenges. ŌĆ£You create a layer that highlights where you want the foil to land, and you print the ink on top of it,ŌĆØ explains Cook. ŌĆ£Since you donŌĆÖt get a proof, from a production standpoint, thereŌĆÖs some guesswork in what that effect will be.ŌĆØ
The end result is two covers which, Tolinski and Cook hope, put an unpredictable twist on the usual take on the Lennon/McCartney duo. ŌĆ£We wanted these to feel monumentalŌĆötheyŌĆÖre obviously music icons, and we wanted to represent that,ŌĆØ Cook says. ŌĆ£But we also wanted them to feel different from other John Lennon covers on the newsstands right now. Those might take a somber approach. We wanted this to feel celebratory.ŌĆØ
The 3D image is fitting for the July/August cover since it marks the last of Advanced ImagingŌĆÖs print issues. The magazine is migrating towards a primarily digital format. ŌĆ£I think it went out with a bangŌĆöwith great images and great stories,ŌĆØ says editor Barry Hochfelder.
ŌĆ£The images treated as photo illustrations are a great solution to stock photos of Paul and John. It makes for a fun cover and evokes that ŌĆśPsychedelic 60sŌĆÖ art which was common on The BeatlesŌĆÖ album covers and concert posters. IŌĆÖm not a fan of the dark blue and definitely not a fan of the 3-dimensional, upper/lower type treatment of the names Lennon and McCartney. ItŌĆÖs too heavy and too obvious. These guys are like Elvis or Jesus: so recognizable and so deified that I wonder if you even need their names on the cover at all. Yet, I understand that this is a magazine cover in need of cover lines. I would have like to have seen their names incorporated in to the illustration: there is a disconnect from all the type at the bottom and the rest of the cover.ŌĆØ

Area road conditions improve
Road Condition Update - noon
FREDERICKSBURG — Area road conditions have improved since earlier this morning. While a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain continues to fall, the interstate, primary and major secondary routes are reported as primarily wet with some slick spots. Crews will continue to apply salt and abrasives to maintain the wet pavement and provide traction to slippery pavement. Motorists are encouraged to continue to reduce their speed and use extreme caution when traveling especially at bridges, overpasses and ramps. VDOT strives to clear all state maintained roads within 48 hours after a winter weather event.
Before traveling visit http://www.511virginia.org/RoadConditions.aspx?j=All&r=1 for road condition updates.
VDOT urges motorists to observe the following winter driving tips:
· Make sure your vehicle is winter ready.
· Keep an emergency driving kit in your car and wear your seatbelt.
· Keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles.
· Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges.
· When driving on ice, don't slam on your brakes. Travel gently. Turn slowly. Sudden changes can cause your car to spin out of control.
For real time travel information call 511 or visit www.511virginia.org. For winter preparedness information, visit: www.virginiadot.org/news/snowseason.asp

"I am extremely pleased with this notebook. I made it a special notebook of my dog, and I included a favorite saying under the alphabet. It turned out wonderfully with pictures of her in her puppy and adult years. Absolutely love this notebook and will order more of this with different themes. Impeccable quality too!"
"This notebook turned out very well--I bought it for a male and he really liked it (good for male or female). The note paper in this notebook is very elegant."
"I just had to add my first name in this customization, but it turned out to be a beautifully personalized artwork! I love the sketchy design of vines, which is going well along with cute letters of my name in yellow. I feel like this notebook is solely belonging to me. That was a good choice!"
"I use any excuse to take this out of my bag to write note so I can show it off. Which is good because I remember to write things down more!"
"I ordered this notebook so I could have pictures of my new baby with me while I was at work. Going back after having a newborn is going to be really hard, so I wanted something with me that would remind me of my sweet love. The photos on the cover are beautiful and the quality is wonderful. I cannot wait to start using it."

|January 24, 2011
David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that a federal grand jury in Hartford has returned an indictment charging WILLIAM ANTHONY ROBSON, also known as Rick Albrecht, 51, last residing in Trumbull, with one count of failure to pay a legal child support obligation. The indictment was returned on January 11, 2011, and remained sealed until ROBSON's arrest and initial appearance on Friday, January 21.
According to the indictment and allegations made in court, it is alleged that ROBSON failed to pay a child support obligation that had been ordered by the State of New York in February 1993 at the time of his divorce. Shortly thereafter, his former spouse moved to Connecticut with her four then minor children. ROBSON, who has previously resided in New York, California, Arkansas and Florida, has made no voluntary child support payments, and only minimal payments have been made through wage garnishments and seized state income tax refunds. The past due child support now totals approximately $175,000.
At the conclusion of his initial appearance on January 21 in Hartford, United States Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martinez ordered ROBSON detained based on a risk of flight.
If convicted of the offense, ROBSON faces a maximum term of imprisonment of two years and a fine of up to $250,000, in addition to the past due child support owed.
U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being investigated by agents of the United States Department of Health and Human Services with the assistance of the Trumbull Police Department; the New York City Human Resources Administration, Department of Social Services, Office of Child Support Services; and the State of Connecticut, Department of Social Services, Bureau of Child Support Enforcement. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Deborah R. Slater.

Often, you will only find a bunch of files .001 .002 .003 and so on after extracting a .RAR file, this is because you can compress files by compressing a ZIP or RAR archive again (a 2nd time).
Download 7-zip that also allows you to open Windows 7 themes and then double-click on the file .001 and you can then proceed with extracting the ISO files or whatever is inside the .RAR archive.
