Common Mistakes on International Health Certificates for Small Animals
If you are planning on traveling out of the country with your pet, there are some frequent stumbling blocks in preparing your pet for this travel. Below are common mistakes made when obtaining international health certificates for small animals, as well as useful contact information and websites at the bottom that can be valuable resources.
Health certificate not signed by an accredited veterinarian: To issue an owner of a pet a US Interstate and International Certificate of health examination for small animals, many countries require a veterinarian to be accredited in the state where they issues the health certificate.
The health certificate lacks an original signature. While most veterinarians are familiar with the standard health certificate, many countries have their own format. It is very important to take time to review the certificate so you understand what is required and where you and your veterinarian sign and date the form. Please sign in a non-black color.
Missing rabies certificate: Always remember to send the rabies vaccination certificate (preferably signed by the veterinarian) along with the health certificate(s). The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) needs to see it in order to verify the information on the health certificate.
Health certificate not completely filled out: The USDA often receives certificates which are incomplete. The most common incomplete sections are:
• Box # 5 - Animal Identification
• The boxes for the certification statements by the owner (bottom left), or the veterinarian (bottom right) or both. The appropriate boxes must be marked with an "X" when the owner and veterinarian sign the certificate.
Addresses are incorrect or incomplete: The addresses are confusing, but need to be filled out as accurately as possible. The name and address of owner/consignor is their address in the US. The address of the consignee is the foreign/destination address (whether it's a home, hotel, military base, etc.)
The wrong health certificate is used: As indicated above, many countries have provided us with their own certificate format. Certificates for the European Communities (EU) should be two sided – front to back). If there are any questions about the type of certificate to use, please contact the USDA office (see below).
Missing test results: Make sure to submit copies of test results reported from the lab that actually ran the test.
Information on the certificate does not meet the requirements of the destination country: For some countries, a simple health certificate and rabies certificate is insufficient. Please be sure that to contact authorities for the country where you are traveling and ask about their requirements to import a pet. A pet owner should also contact their transporter (airline, etc.) to find out their requirements. Many times the airline has more stringent requirements than the destination country, including how long the certificate is valid (airlines may meet or exceed USDA requirements). If you and the owner are not aware of the country's import requirements, please contact the USDA (see below).
Veterinarian signature not provided by an accredited veterinarian: Many countries require the veterinarian examining your animal for the health certificate to be USDA accredited in order to prepare the pet for entry into their country. Ask your veterinarian if they are accredited for international health certificates with the USDA.

Table of Contents
Sometimes you need to know what is happening with a task, even if you're not the one currently working on it. That is where notifications are helpful. To receive a notification when a task has been modified or had something added to it, click the Watch this task button beneath a task's details. Later if you decide that you no longer want to be notified about changes to a particular task, click the Stop watching this task button.
To add yourself to the notification list of many tasks at once, return to the task list. At the immediate left of every task is a checkbox, and at the bottom of the task list is a dropdown list of actions, and the Take Action button.
To see which tasks currently have you on the notification list, select Tasks I Watch from the Project Selector drop-down.
The Notifications Tab
Note: This paragraph describes functionality that can only be accessed by the Project Manager or a member of the global Admin group.
Shown is a list of users who are currently "watching" this task. When anything changes in the task (task details modified, comments or attachments added etc), Flyspray sends out a short notification message to each person on the list, letting them know what the changes or additions are. Notifications are sent using email or Jabber instant messaging, using the email/jabber address in each user's profile. Usually each user can choose their preferred method of notification, but it can be over-ridden in the global options dialog. Users should ensure that the notification addresses in their profile are correct, as Flyspray will not complain if they are wrong.
To add a user to the notification list for a task, simply select them in the dropdown list, and click the Add to list button. To remove a user, click the Remove link next to their name.
- Notifications are never sent to the user making the change. The user already knows what action they made, so Flyspray doesn't fill their inbox with information they already know.
- Notifications are always sent to the person who has been assigned the task, regardless of whether they are on the task's notification list or not. Of course, this doesn't over-ride the previous tip - if the assignee makes a change, they don't receive the notification.
Technical Information
Adding to notification list: The dropdown list for adding users to the notification list does not contain every user registered on your Flyspray installation. The list only contains users who are members of your Project groups, as well as users in global groups defined as "can be assigned tasks" in the global options. This is done by the ListUsers() function, in includes/functions.inc.php
Database tables: Users to be notified are listed in the {$dbprefix}_notifications table.
Standard Notification Triggers: These are the times when a notification is sent to those on a task's notification list:
- Task details changed
- Task closed
- Task re-opened
- Dependency added
- Dependency removed
- Comment added (adding a note if any files were attached)
- Related task added
- Taken ownership (user assigned a task to themself)
- New assignee. If a user is assigned a task, so they need to know.
Special Notification Triggers:
- New task opened (category owner is notified)
- Someone requested a Project Manager to action something on a certain task. These notifications are sent to everyone in the project who is in a group with the Manage Project permission.
- Project Manager denied request. If a PM denies the above request, everyone on the notification list receives the notification.
- Sending a confirmation code for a new user signup.
- Sending a user a "magic URL" so that they can change their password.

Patriot had a very successful run with the Warp Series drives, some of the most sought after JMicron based products that routinely outperformed products from competing SSD manufacturers. In order to distinguish the JMicron drives from the new Indilinx controlled drives, Patriot needed to let go of the Warp product name. The first press release announced the new drive as the Fusion, but in a last minute decision the name was changed to Torqx.
While other companies were rushing to get media and e-tailers their Indilinx SSDs, Patriot was scrambling to get the new packaging ready and the Torqx drives had to sit in a warehouse. With everything finally lining up correctly Patriot is now on a mission to show that with patience comes a superior product. For starters, Patriot was able to update their drives with the latest firmware for the Indilinx Barefoot controller, something that hurt the performance numbers of the G.Skill Falcon when we reviewed it last month. Patriot was also able to react to what enthusiasts were asking for from SSD manufacturers, a way to mount 2.5 inch SSDs into 3.5 inch drive bays.
Today we are going to put the new Patriot Torqx up against other manufacturers SSDs from both the consumer and enterprise markets. How will the Torqx compare? Let's find out.

The India Spa Market: Flourishing in the East
By: Kristen Wegrzyn
Posted: October 31, 2013, from the November 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 6
According to the PwC/FICCI report: "There exists strong consumer connections with traditional products and services … Consumers trust and believe in the goodness of natural and herbal products and ingredients." Although traditional products and services have continued to be alluring for the Indian consumer, offerings have begun including modern advancements.
Linda Harding-Bond, founder of Moontide Consulting and award-winning master esthetician, traveled to India to lead retail training for more than 80 skin care professionals at the Oberoi Hotel Group. Harding-Bond explained that Oberoi didn't just utilize Eastern or Western skin care; instead, it featured a combination of an ayurvedic product line and a European one. Spa menus also feature traditional and modern treatments.
Spa treatment focuses. "The spa and skin care industry has evolved over the recent years and has shown phenomenal growth. Spas in India are now offering extensive service menus with various therapies to indulge and pamper the client, making it possible for the leading skin care brands to enter the market," explains Arethna. (See Let India Inspire You for ideas on how to incorporate the popular treatments and services from India into your spa menu.)
Traditional Indian services still appeal to Indian clients and tourists alike, and are a major part of spa menus, including ayurveda, which was originally recorded 2,000–4,000 years ago, potentially making it the world's oldest health care system. Its practices strive to "create harmony between the body, mind and spirit; maintaining this balance prevents illness, treats acute conditions, and contributes to a long and healthy life," according to the Spas and the Global Wellness Market: Synergies and Opportunities report. Other practices include meditation and yoga, as well as homeopathic and naturopathic treatments.
Although controversial, skin-lightening treatments and products continue to remain popular, due to centuries of women in South Asia being raised to believe fairer complexions are more beautiful, and the maintenance of this belief by the media.4

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Boo Boo!
Facts about Boo Boo
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Boo Boo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi!!! My name is Boo Boo!!! I came to the shelter because my owner had too many dogs. I am a very shy fellow that needs a loving person to bring me out of my shell! I would love to have a forever family! Please come see me today!
Other Pets at Humane Society of Independence County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Boo Boo, a Batesville Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Batesville, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Batesville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Batesville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Batesville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Batesville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Mercury can slow children's neural growth
Research studies show the slightest amount of mercury can retard children's neural growth and the effects are often permanent.
Recent research links mercury to autism, ADD and diminished IQ.
Mercury poisoning impacts children's brain development and also causes many symptoms that are indistinguishable from autism.

Loki2, I have to agree with the overall thrust of your argument, but I think this:
"By any measure other than diplomatic recognition, Taiwan is an independent country."
is quite mistaken. Measures other than diplomatic recognition include:
Long-standing cultural norms
Economic integration (the focus of the article)
Family ties
These are all quite important. Your final question, likewise, could be asked equally about the Confederate States of America, Quebec, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Yucatan, the Basque regions, Bretonny, and various other bits and bobs that have been mislaid by history around the world. The only reason anyone actually cares about Taiwan is that it is rich, due to its looting of the Chinese Treasury before the KMT's ignominious defeat and flight.
"By any measure other than diplomatic recognition, Taiwan is an independent country. It has its own government, a population who overwhelmingly identify themselves as Taiwanese, and an economy that is larger than most other countries. "
It is quite interesting to see that you would perceive it that way. Take Scotland for example,it has its own government, a population , an economy and even a different history from England .As far as i know, most people living there identify themselves as scotish. but still it is a part of the United Kingdom. So on what ground can you draw a conclusion so racklessly ? "By any measure", you are telling a joke for you haven't really considered about any measure and made a conclusion with prejudice .
Why is it that China is always portrayed as a villain in all your articles? What and when has China as a nation done anything bad to any country?
Looking at it impartially, this whole situation has to be one of the oddest results of international politics in the modern era (although my favorite is Macedonia being forced to use the name the Former Yugoslav Repulbic of Macedonia).
By any measure other than diplomatic recognition, Taiwan is an independent country. It has its own government, a population who overwhelmingly identify themselves as Taiwanese, and an economy that is larger than most other countries.
The only reasons Taiwan isn't independent is fear of repurcussions from China and a fading pipe-dream among some in the KMT that somehow they will retake control of the mainland.
At what point will the CCP and KMT wake up to the reality that's been patently obvious to everyone else in the world for some decades?
"Economic integration with China is not doing what China hoped and the opposition feared"
well, we can wait, we waited for 100 years for the return of Hong Kong and Macao, then why can we wait for the return of Taiwan? It's right over there, across the sea, and does not have any feet to run away, we mainland Chinese are very patient!! lol
"Knowing China better makes Taiwanese even more aware of how lucky they are to be prosperous and free."
And what is the effect on mainland Chinese of increased familiarity with a prosperous and free Taiwan? This is an interesting question.
"Despite being trounced in the presidential election in 2008, and seeing its former leader, Mr Chen, jailed for corruption, the DPP now has a realistic chance of winning back the presidency next year."
This is partly because Ma Ying-jeou mishandled the response to the disastrous Typhoon Morakot in 2009, which obviously has nothing to do with China, and partly because the new crop of DDP leaders are far more moderate than Chen Shui-bian, and their China policy not much different from the KMT's (nobody's advocating the termination of direct flights or closing the door to mainland tourists, for example).
Quite the contrary of what the Economist asserts here, the economic integration with China is doing rather well for both Taiwan and Mainland China.
It is exactly what China hoped and the opposition feared, a peaceful and gradual integration.
One has to understand that it takes time to nurse the relationship and resuscitate the polarization, indifference and even animosity toward the Mainlanders instigated under the 12 long years of corrupt rules of Lee Teng Hui (ostentatiously under the then KMT he controlled) and then DPP's Chen.
That over 60% of voters in Taiwan voted in the new KMT that led to the consummation of ECFA is testament to this warming trend.
It is inevitable the majority of Chinese on both sides would like to have re-unification sooner rather than later. However what form and shape of the re-unification it will take will depend on negotiations so that the concerns ot Taiwanese are fully taken care of.
Heh! Heh! Heh! You Westerners sur luv to hear China's faltering steps. Your saliva drools uncontrollably the slighest moment something negative about China tingles. Ha! Ha! Ha! KMT are no fools, DPP are no idiots. If power does not seduce why is the US clings so desparately to her No. 1 stature with unmatched military bases and fleets and need connerstones like UK and Japan? But we heard US vetoed an UN resolution on Israelis.... hmmmm..... a small territory like Israel pitting one US against the other 14 in UNSC... did that actually happened? Any Western media on this...? Why not the Taiwanese do something like the Israelis? It will be even much easier when its just across the border and with the same culture, same appearance, same language, even better for the Taiwanese a direct access to UNSC. Really under-estimating the Taiwanese.
Well, North Korea and South Korea both share a common culture yet are separate countries, because each one has a different political ideology, and each one does not want to be governed by the other.
Now the question is whether the Taiwanese majority want to lose their democratic rights of electing their own government leaders, and be governed by China?
The Economist also wrote 'Even the numbers wanting "status quo now/unification later", at 17.6%, have barely budged since the 2008 election. In the same period, support for independence, now or later, has climbed from 30.5% to 35.5%.'
The DPP plays the politics of fear, accusing KMT supporters of selling out the country and that young Taiwanese men would soon be "training for the PLA in Heilongjiang" province.
The KMT, for all its shortcomings, is much more practical and business-focused.
Taiwan is definitely separate from the PRC in many ways, but diplomatic recognition is important. Taiwan must get the PRC's approval to negotiate bilateral trade agreements with other countries, for instance.
This has become a big deal as Taiwan becomes less and less of one.
-- 'Beijing yesterday praised President Ma Ying-jeou's call for Taiwanese to refer to China as "mainland China" or "the other side," a move that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said constituted political manipulation...'
Let me say firstly; I like you all, I like China and its People,I don't like war!
What about the Formula one Culture 3 Countries,3 System's one People and all pull at the same String?
-- 'Former vice-president Annette Lu's "1996 consensus" says Taiwan became an independent sovereign country on the day it held its first general presidential election in 1996...'
Hello. Is this the room for an argument?
India's Gujarat invites Taiwan to build its industrial park there
One way Taiwan can maintain 'status quo' or independence is to tell the world that it is where people can learn Mandarin Chinese in safer and more comfortable environment. They can also promote that traditional Chinese letters are used in Taiwan allowing you to read or communicate smoothly in more democratised and/or richer Chinese-speaking community in Asia.
Taiwan can thus keep the eyes of the global community on it to defend its indigenousness, ingenuity and independence.
-- 'Following a referendum in 1997, in which the Scottish electorate gave their consent; a Scottish Parliament and devolved Scottish Government were established by the Labour government of Tony Blair. The process was known as devolution and was initiated to give Scotland some measure of home rule or self governance in its domestic affairs, such as health, education and justice.
Devolution resulted in administrative and legislative changes to the way Scotland was governed, and resulted in the establishment of a post of First Minister to be head of the devolved Scottish Government. The term "First Minister" is analogous to the use of Premier or Governor to denote the heads of government in sub-national entities, such as the provinces and territories of Canada, provinces of South Africa, the states of Australia, and each state of the United States of America...'
-- "As countries grow and develop, certain events in their histories stand out as key moments for ushering in significant processes of change. For Taiwan, the staging of the Taipei International Flora Exposition is such an event, heralding a new era of transformation that promises to promote the country as a hotbed of innovation, and showcase its many economic, cultural and social achievements.
There is no question that the expo is an effective way for Taiwan to demonstrate the vitality of its soft power in nurturing international relations. Hosting such events is also an outstanding platform for sharing the achievements of the nation's industries and R&D outfits, while showing off the renowned warmth and hospitality of Taiwanese people..."

I love to photograph, whether it be your priceless wedding day, a sweet moment captured between you and a family member, or a candid moment with your children. From weddings to lifestyle portrait, simple to lavish whatever the occasion, it deserves to be presented with beautiful, moving photographs. My style is a mix of fine art and photojournalism.

BUNN-O-Matic Residential 40600.0100 Customer Reviews
Product Code: 533-406000100
I exchanged glass for ssteel pot more money but Ilost coffee temp.its still a great machine
Very easy to use no frills coffee-maker. Have owned Bunn before. This new thermal pot keeps coffee hot much longer than previous models. Set aside a more expensive two month old coffee-maker and bought this new Bunn. Even though there is no timer, coffee is quick to run through so that is not a problem. Best one yet. Earlier Bunn made 2 - 4 pots a day and lasted for 5 years.
I love Bun coffee pots! My last one lasted four years and it sprung a leak. I am very happy with the new one I purchased. Very sleek and nice looking. Nothing like a fresh pot of coffee in three minutes!!!
After many hours of searching and reading reviews and ordering another brewer, I chose the Bunn and am very satisfied with the quality and heat of the coffee brewed. As mentioned the machine is quite large, but a more than acceptable trade-off. My only real complaint is that the thermal carafe only maintains the coffee at an acceptable temperature for 2 or 3 hours so that you either need to decant the coffee into another insulated carafe or make small amounts that you can consume within the 2 to 3 hour timeframe. Apart from wishing for a better insulated thermal carafe, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this coffeemaker or the seller. Very satisfied overall with this online shopping experience and would use this seller again should they stock something I need.
Use it every day. Love the way it makes my coffee so fast. Very satisfied..
We have always used BUNN coffee makers ... I wanted to try this one because of no hot plate... Preventing scorched coffee. We love it! I found if you fill the carafe with hot water and let it sit just long enough to prepare your coffee in the filter and prepare your water, the coffee stays hot for hours... I have even gone back 6 or more hours and the coffee was still hot!
Great pot, brews in 3 minutes for a full pot. Keeps coffee hot without a burner eye. I just recommend warming carafe before brewing.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Donna Albertone has stepped down as CEO of Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina less five months after taking the job.
Albertone, who started work May 21 and resigned Oct. 10, says the job was not a "good fit" but declined to discuss details.
Bo Dempster, board chair for Prevent Child Abuse and a partner at law firm Poyner & Spruill, says the board hired Albertone for "the passion she has with respect to child abuse in all its forms," but that "what she wanted to do was a great deal more than our resources and our focus would allow.
"The issue "was one of scope," he says. "It wasn't one of direction."
Dempster says Michelle Hughes, who is vice president for programs and served as interim executive director before Albertone was hired, has been reappointed to the interim job while the board conducts a search for a new executive director.
Speaking on the condition they not be identified, people familiar with Prevent Child Abuse say Albertone resigned after finding she could not make organizational changes she thought she had been hired to make, a mismatch they attribute to a lack of awareness on the part of the group's board about operations.
"The board was not as engaged as it needed to be," says someone close to the organization.
Dempster says the board "has been as responsive and on top of this situation as it's evolved over the last month as any board I've ever served on.
"The board, he says, consists of "very smart and very dedicated people who are very focused on the mission of the organization."
People familiar with Prevent Child Abuse say that Albertone, in trying to make changes, also ran into resistance from the organization's senior staff.
Karin Cox, the group's director of communications and development, says Albertone had "some different ideas she wanted to bring to us."
But Prevent Child Abuse "was already committed with other things we were supposed to be doing, and adding other things to our plate would not have been good timing," she says.
Albertone, who joined Prevent Child Abuse after helping to develop initiatives the Cleveland Catholic Diocese used to train over 110,000 volunteers to protect minors from sexual abuse, reportedly wanted to diversify funding for the North Carolina group by expanding beyond state contracts and foundation grants to include more individual donors.
But most of the staff and resources at the organization, which has an annual budget of $1.3 million, are tied to the strategic direction in which it already was moving when Jennifer Tolle Whiteside resigned as CEO a year ago to become president of the North Carolina Community Foundation, people familiar with Prevent Child Abuse say.
For five years, they say, the organization has been steadily shifting its focus to play a greater statewide role in shaping public policy.The Duke Endowment in Charlotte has invested an estimated $200,000 to $250,000 a year, on average, to help Prevent Child Abuse make that shift.
A big factor in Albertone's decision to resign reportedly was her assessment of the degree to which a big new collaborative partnership Prevent Child Abuse launched this year would fully address the problem of child abuse in the state.
With $2 million a year in funding from The Duke Endowment and the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust in Winston-Salem, the new initiative will team nurses with first-time mothers and their families in some of the state's poorest counties.
Albertone concluded the new initiative, while designed to intervene effectively on behalf of families to prevent child abuse, initially would not help the organization's local affiliates, people familiar with Prevent Child Abuse say.
Both to address the broader problem of child abuse and to appeal to individual donors, they say, Albertone wanted to offer other programs in addition to the new initiative, an "evidence-based" program developed by the national Nurse-Family Partnership.
But those suggestions reportedly met resistance from senior staff and called for making changes the organization could not afford and that could have hurt funding for the family-nurse program, in which Prevent Child Abuse is partnering with the North Carolina Partnership for Children, known as Smart Start.
Dempster, the board chair, says he is not involved in the organization's day-to-day operations and so does not know if there was staff opposition to the changes Albertone wanted to make."
Clearly, when this becomes an issue of scope, the thing they were all joined by was their desire to prevent child abuse and maltreatment in all its forms," he says. "That is the mission of the organization, and that is something that everybody believes in."

It is virtually impossible to think about celebrity blogs and bloggers without thinking of Necole Bitchie. A cleaver play on Nicole Richie, the brand that is Necole Bitchie has surpassed even the expectations of Necole herself. I remember Necole Bitchie when she was on Myspace blogging about Nivea. Did you hear what I said? Myspace and Nivea. She has come along way and her journey is incredible, but she will be the first to tell you that her journey is far from over.
Many people are familiar with NecoleBitche.com, but few know the fierce woman behind the blog. Bryan Cain-Jackson of the Huffington Post spoke with Necole Bitchie regarding life and the sacrifices that you have to make in order for your dreams to come true.
Read Bryan's interview with Necole below.
Thank you for taking the time out to talk to me today, Necole. I truly appreciate
I appreciate it as well, Bryan. Thank you.
So, where are you originally from Necole?
I grew up in a very small town on the eastern shore of Maryland called Cambridge.
What are some of your most important childhood memories that lead you to being the woman that you are today?
My mother worked so hard, so I spend a lot of time with my grandmother. She was the firstbusiness owner that I ever knew. My grandmother owned a barber shop and she cut men's hair all day. I felt some type of power in that. She was sitting there and she'd laugh a thunderous laugh all day and they admired her. They'd come in everyday and pile into her shop and talk about the latest. She really guided my steps. I was 16 when she passed away — I was lost after that.
When a tragedy takes place, we're lost. Tragedy places a person at a position of needing to decide what their next move is going to be. Who was Necole Bitchie at that time of being at a crossroad?
You know how a stage play has three acts? I feel like in my life right now, I'm one the fourth act. At that point in time it was right after my mom had passed I had lost everything that I felt was important in my life. It was when I was going to a job everyday and when I was in school, which was when I was at a crossroad. That's when I had an epiphany. I received an email from a lady that was basically saying that we shouldn't be held down by material things. We want to achieve certain goals, but we have a car payment that we're about or we have to make the rent — we have all of these material things that really don't matter and are holding us down to going into that job every day. I started to think about how true this was. I don't have any kids, I'm still young, so why am I working so hard every day and who am I working hard for? I'm definitely not working this hard to pay a car payment. Two weeks later, I started selling all of my furniture. I left school in my last semester, I quit my job and I was headed to Detroit.
Why Detroit? What was there?
I chose Detroit, not because I had a plan — it was a place where I didn't know anybody. I felt like that was the best place to get to know myself and really find out who I was.
What did you do once you were there?
Initially, I was in the entertainment industry — I found an internship opportunity. My drive is pretty intense; so once I was out there I was moving pretty quickly.
You were meant to be a free spirit, not held down to commitments that don't seem as pivotal to the direction your life is going in.
Exactly. I've spoken to a woman who didn't go after her dreams because she was worried about what she was going to do with their house full of furniture. Really? You're going to let a house full of furniture stop you from following your dreams? If you said a husband and a child then I get it — but, you're not sure what to do with your furniture? I sold everything for $700 and just kept it moving, I couldn't let that hold me back from achieving what's right for me in my life.
Wow, Necole. You have redefined the meaning of the word fearless in a few different respects.
I do have to say this though — there are going to be moments of discomfort in your life because there is going to be a struggle. There will be times where you have to sleep on other people's couches and that will take away your pride. You'll be asking those friends to use their couches while they are doing their routine of going to and from work and they're moving up, all the while you're struggling.
You swallowed your pride and made sacrifices to achieve what you wanted. That's truly inspiring.
I did the sleeping on couches; I was always in a different state whenever someone called me. I didn't have a place. They all looked at me as though I didn't have myself together. But, look at me now because of that sense of sacrifice. I say that because when people don't see a return on their going out on a limb and going for their dreams immediately — like if they don't see results in three months, they're ready to stop trying and go back to the land of familiar. It takes time to get that breakthrough.
It does take a long time. That is all due to the fact that we are participants in this society of instant gratification. We want it now and we don't want to wait. In a lot of instances, we don't even want to truly work for it.
When it comes to these celebrities that are revered, people don't do the research on them and their story. Everyone had a struggle before they made it. It might seem like celebrities go from nothing to something within the blink of an eye, but there was a journey.

Make of this what you will.
Because, I admit, I don't really know what to make of it.
Here is ESPN's latest ranking of the top 10 freshman in college basketball:
1. Jabari Parker, Duke; 2. Andrew Wiggins, Kansas; 3. Tyler Ennis, Syracuse; 4. Julius Randle, Kentucky; 5. Joel Embiid, Kansas; 6. Marcus Foster, Kansas State; 7. Isaiah Taylor, Texas; 8. Aaron Gordon, Arizona; 9. Jordan Mickey, LSU; 10. Noah Vonleh, Indiana.
Do you know how many of those top 10 will be playing in the Sweet 16 this weekend?
Just two — Randle and Gordon.
Mickey and Vonleh never made it into the tournament. The other six, including the top three, didn't make it to the Sweet 16.
Parker was 4-for-14 from the floor (0-for-3 from 3-point range) and scored 14 points as Duke, a No. 3 seed from the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference, was upset by #14 Mercer of the unheralded Atlantic Sun Conference, 78-71.
In the next round, Mercer lost by 20 points, 83-63, to 11th-seeded Tennessee.
It was unusually poor performance from a very talented player who was voted first-team, all-American and national freshman of the year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
But the stunning setback also marked the second time in three years that Duke, with a roster filled with hotly-recruited, highly-regarded young players lost its opening NCAA tournament game.
As a No. 2 seed in 2012, the Blue Devils lost to #15 Lehigh, of the Patriot League.
Wiggins, the most sought-after recruit in the country last year, scored only 4 points — 4! — on 1-for-6 shooting Sunday as the second-seeded Jayhawks lost to No. 10 Stanford, 60-57.
Although Ennis led Syracuse with 19 points, he was just 7-for-21 from the floor, and 0-for-5 from beyond the arc, as the third-seeded Orange lost to No. 11 Dayton, which finished tied for fifth in the Atlantic 10 during the regular season, 55-53.
Foster was 1-for-7 from 3-point range as Kansas State was a quick knockout at the hands of Kentucky, 56-49, Friday in an 8-9 game.
Taylor scored a game-high 22 points Saturday as #7 Texas lost to #2 Michigan, 79-65, but made just 8 off 22 shots without attempting a 3-pointer.
Without question, any team in the country would have been delighted to have any of those "top 10″ players.
Yet, as this past weekend's results made clear, the presence of such players hardly guarantees success.
On the other hand, Kentucky started five freshman from what was regarded as one of the all-time great recruiting classes Sunday against the veteran, undefeated Shockers. who went to the FInal Four last year.
Make of THAT what you will.

Dear list,
Would like to enlist some assistance with an install on an IBM 9112-265 Intellistation.
Have followed the liveCD install without many problems.
Have gotten to the yaboot configuration and attempted to configure and have dd'd the kernel file rev 32r7 to the sda1 1meg partition.
Upon reboot the system fails to find the kernel file and boot.

When I have rebooted on the liveCD again and recieved the prompt to work with i have attempted to try and mount the sda3 root partition from the original install. I presume because there is only the LiveCD /etc/fstab with tempfs entries in it i cannot mount my real root partition and the system knows nothing of the original parttitioned disk from the install.

Could someone direct me on what action to take to mount the original partitions such that i can edit the yaboot config file and achieve a successful boot from scsi disk.
or
can someone please instruct on how to set up yaboot config correctly such that i can reinstall the lot and get the bootloader correct.

Thanks in advance.

Just a mention - I have made up a small new site which is aimed to be a links portal to start folks off when seeking RKBA info. The links provided are certainly not all there could be but do cover many of the more useful sources.
The cause is altruistic - no financial gain to me ( the few ads are courtesy ads, no revenue). There are a few articles and videos within the site but these are secondary to its main purpose - over time there may be a few more additions. Any glitches found please PM me.
If you know anyone who needs a starting point to get them better educated on 2A matters then suggest they stop by the RKBA - 2A, Homepage

The Bradley County Board of Education has been given the go-ahead to pursue any litigation related to the ongoing debate over how previously collected liquor taxes should have been distributed.
During its Monday night meeting, the Bradley County Commission passed a resolution "to approve school board action" on the matter that pits the county school board against the city of Cleveland.
James Logan Jr., the attorney the school board has hired to help address this matter, has said the city owes more than $700,000 in back tax revenues to the county school system.
Monday night, he asked the Commission "to defer to the Bradley County school board to determine when and if litigation will be necessary."
The Commission had already passed a resolution that had cleared any conflict of interest for the school board to hire an attorney who had worked with the county government on other matters.
On Monday Logan said "the real party in interest" was "the entity that represents the Bradley County school system," the school board.
While he said the school board hoped to settle the matter outside of court, the board was choosing to address the issue.
State law dictates a 15 percent tax be charged on liquor sold by the drink on the premises of places like restaurants. Tennessee Code Annotated 57-4-306, which concerns the "consumption of alcoholic beverages on premises," dictates that "one half of the proceeds shall be expended and distributed in the same manner as the county property tax for schools is expended and distributed."
However, regarding counties with populations between 27,900 and 27,920, "according to the 1980 federal census or any subsequent federal census, any proceeds expended and distributed to municipalities which do not operate their own school systems separate from the county are required to remit one half of their proceeds of the gross receipts liquor-by-the-drink tax to the county school fund."
The law also reads the "collections of gross receipts collected in unincorporated areas" are to be given "to the county general fund," and 50 percent of gross receipt taxes are to be given "to local political subdivisions by subdivision."
The Bradley County school board passed a resolution Dec. 18 stating it "does hereby respectfully request the city of Cleveland to pay over unto the Bradley County School System all funds received by the city of Cleveland and which have not been distributed to the Bradley County School System as provided in [Tennessee Code Annotated] 57-4-306."
However, Cleveland has maintained it does not owe those funds because of the phrase in the law that specifies "municipalities which do not operate their own school systems" and the fact it does operate a school system separate from the county's.
Logan said the school board is hoping to meet with city officials to discuss the matter as it had not been able to yet.
At the school board's Jan. 25 meeting, Bradley County Schools Director Johnny McDaniel said the board's Dec. 18 request to meet with city officials to discuss the matter had not received a response.
The Cleveland City Council voted Dec. 23 to send a response to the school board saying it believed the city had done nothing wrong.
He said the city has since agreed to meet with the school board, and a meeting had been scheduled for Feb. 10. However, Logan added he had recently gotten word the city wanted to postpone the meeting until Feb. 24. He said he was unsure when the two entities would actually meet.
While some commissioners expressed concerns that passing the resolution would limit the county's ability to pursue its own litigation if the school board chose not to pursue any legal action, the Commission passed the resolution with votes from all 11 of the commissioners present.
It was agreed the school board would be the "party in interest," and Commissioner Bill Winters said it was "appropriate" for the county school board to move forward with it.
While the Commission will be looking at what the school board will do, commissioners said the county did have a stake in the argument because of how much the county would or wouldn't have to allocate to the county school system in the future.
"That's $700,000 less that we would have to come up with," Elkins said.
Also at the meeting, Commissioner Charlotte Peak-Jones said McDaniel had taken action on a matter which had been discussed in a previous work session.
A man who lived next to Michigan Avenue Elementary School had complained about the lights and noise resulting from the lack of a buffer zone being in place. She said the problem was in the process of being remedied.
The Commission also voted to allow a retiring K9 police officer to take ownership of the dog he has been handling on the job.
Two requests for rezoning were also approved. A property at 162 Helton Road was rezoned from Forestry/Agricultural/ Resid-ential District to Highway Commercial District. Property at 2628 Dalton Pike was rezoned from General Commercial District to Highway Commercial District.

That said, this is a delightful, artful animated feature, lovingly crafted by the folks at Industrial Light and Magic. Its just great to watch: individual characters faces, limbs, even their skin is rendered with a precision that shows how far computer generated graphics have advanced in recent years. Background details are consistently mined for extra humor, and perspective is handled with wit and care.
All this work is in the service of a movie that follows the form and formulas of the classic Western, perhaps the distinctive American film genre. But it does so in order to have fun with the type. Were tipped to this in the opening credits, which employ the images and music weve come to expect, then undercuts them with a mariachi quartet of little birds who tell us were going to see the life and death of a great legend, a promise that the ensuing action doesnt quite deliver on.
The hero, of sorts, is a chameleon, voiced in a tour de force by the equally mercurial Johnny Depp. The little guy has been sharing an aquarium with a mechanical toy fish and a headless doll torso and longing for a larger stage upon which to strut his stuff. He gets his wish when his home is thrown from a car and he is cast adrift in the desert. A prophetic armadillo named Roadkill (Alfred Molina) advises him to seek his fortune and his Self in a little town called Dirt.
So off he sets, the bird band relating the archetypal significance of his existential quest at various stages. Along the way he accidentally (and hilariously) bests a fearsome hawk, sheds several layers of scales, and meets the fetching but disdainful orphan lizard Bean (Isla Fisher), who gives him a ride to the edge of town. The aptly-named Dirt looks like the stage set for a movie, except that the buildings are somewhat, um, eccentric. The post office is a mail box, and other structures also comically demonstrate that form follows function.
The townspeople are also a hoot: when Rango walks into a saloon, it brings to mind the alien bar scene in the first Star Wars. The Dirtizens are ruled by a dictatorial mayor (Ned Beatty), an old turtle who is hoarding and secretly dumping the towns water supply in an effort to get people to move out so he can buy their land on the cheap. It wouldnt be fair to tell you why, but heres a hint: think Chinatown. You can also catch echoes of Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Apocalypse Now, High Noon, and any number of other classics.
In fact, the ideal audience for Rango may be movie critics and others who have wasted far too much of their lives in the darkness (present company excepted, of course). People who get the in-jokes will be constantly giggling; others, not so much. And parents should guide their children pretty carefully, especially if the kids dont like snakes.

I know this may sound stupid.....I apologize in advance for this question........but what are estrogen or progesterin creams & where do you put them? Just typing this question is embarassing to me. I just can't figure out what estrogen/progesterin cream does for a menopausal woman or where you rub the cream on at.:( |
Follow-Up Postings:
I rub the cream on anywhere where the skin is thin. It really works, absorbing in like a derm patch. Also goes to show that lotion you put on your skin also gets absorbed... I rub it on the insides of my arms... around my neck etc. |
Try putting progesterone cream in the Google search site and it will bring up lots of information on it. I'm well pass menopause, but kept having headaches and a general "yucky" nauseous feeling on a monthly basis and DD recommended the cream and since I have been using it for nearly a year, I no longer have these problems. She uses it to help with PMS and swears by it. Donna |
See, this is funny Donna... I just answered your other post about your daughter. For me, the progesterone cream does nothing for PMS. I had tried progesterone for PMS 20 years ago...nope, and the cream doesn't help now either. Really a bummer for me, because I have really AWFUL pms AND menopause now... I am almost to the point of wanting my ovaries ripped out... that way I only have ONE thing happening to me, but not quite. |

I just started with natural progesterone (tablets) and estrogen cream (bioidentical. I have had loss of appetite since I started menopause (wierd!) and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen - I know people say "you're lucky" but it isn't much fun - I can't look forward to going out to dinner or cooking.... Also do you think that these hormones may help??? |
are you taking any drug like prozac? One of the side affects of that type of seritonin uptake inhibitor is decrease of appetite. Works for me... :o) |
Ok, call me dense but I just don't get estrogen creams. Where do you get estrogen cream? How is it absorbed into your body? What does it do for you? Also, where can I get the natural progesterone tablets mentioned here? |
I have progesterone cream, called Meno-cream, fairly expensive, I got it at Walgreens. It is absorbed through your skin. Yes, things DO get absorbed through your skin, hence "The Patch" and that is why I make my own lotions, because I don't want chemicals and preservatives absorbed into MY skin. :o) |
You don't need extra estrogen, your body has and makes plenty, it's the progesterone that falls dramatically after menopause. Emphasis on estrogen replacement therapy has been highly publicized... why?... because the pharmaceutical companies make big money from it. A couple of good books that explain it much better than I can are : Hormone Balance, A Matter of Life and Health by Kristine Klitze R.N. B.S.N What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by |
I'd respectfully like to disagree with Donna statement "You don't need extra estrogen, your body has and makes plenty, it's the progesterone that falls dramatically after menopause" ALL hormones decrease with menopause, and I know that my estrogen has decreased due to the fact that I have a higher libido, which indicates the ratio between estrogen and progesterone has changed. My mother, also a retired Public Health Nurse is on hormones due to a hysterectomy.... she also might disagree with your statement. Maybe that statement works for yourself, but not everyone is the same. |
Donna, according to the RN at my compounding pharmacy, they will add some estrogen at times. I use a compounded Progesterone cream. Mary Jo, to answer your question I rub my cream onto the outside of my thighs. I was told not to use it on my face and one reason is if I need to have a salava test later, it might alter the results. my two cents |
I use the inside of my arms to rub onto thighs. Carla |

I am an independent consultant of a company that sells an amazing natural progesterone cream. Its called PhytoProlief (for menopausal women) and there is a Prolief (for women that are still cycling). Both creams contain 480 mg progesterone per ounce, are applied topically, and are conveniently packaged in a metered pump. Each dose supplies 1/4 tsp. containing the recommended 20mg of progesterone. There's no confusing and messy measuring. It retails for $30 a bottle lasts about 3 months. I can get it to anyone for $22 + tax and shipping. I have a verified paypal account. Contact me email@example.com |
Oh jeez... ads in here again...I won't buy from people who advertise in my GardenWeb...:o( |
Hi, i have been researching natural progesterone creams for a week or so now, and they all say that progesterone cream rubbed into fatty areas of your body, thighs, upper arms and lower abdomen are fully absorbed into the body, and used as your body needs it, but estrogen will be produced by the body by taking progesterone, and its quite unusual for people to need to take extra estrogen, its also not advisable, as this has been the many problems for years in that women have been given estrogen by Drs thinking that it needs to be replenished during menopause, whereas now the general way of thinking is that this actually procudes estrogen dominance, Dr Lee goes into this in great detail and by eck it all makes sense at last. Good luck. Fiona (UK) |
I went off Sarafem (Prozac) and am going to try the Meno Cream. I have a lot of anxiety and mood swings. Don't have the hot flashes yet. |

I have been using Estro-all for about 4 years now, and I think I'm addicted! At first, I just used straight progesterone cream, but still had severe night sweats. I switched to a progesterone cream with a tad of estrogen (Estro-all), and I'm a VERY happy camper. I buy 12 tubes at a time ($140) so it ends up being very inexpensive. 12 tubes will last me about a year and a half. I rub it on my breasts, inside of my arms, top of my feet and ankles -- and I rotate it every day. I used to put it on twice a day, but now I just put it on in the morning after my shower. For those of you who are trying this for the first time, it takes a few weeks to get the full effect. Give it some time. |

I am in my 2nd month of taking bioidenticals (Estradiol/Prog/Test) Why can't you apply the cream to your breasts? |

I love America. Seriously, I do. Is there any place on earth where man's regression is more accepted? Where entitlement reigns supreme? Where each are truly their own?
Take, for example, this recent four sentence news story describing a man's frantic search for his television's remote control and the resulting phone call to the authorities.
A 97-year-old man who wanted to watch a Milwaukee Brewers game called 911 to report someone had stolen his remote control.
According to the Greenfield police report:
The man called 911 to report someone had stolen his remote control from his residence in the 9300 block of West Howard Avenue prior to 8 p.m. Sept. 26.
The remote control was found after police responded, so the man was able to watch the Brewers game.
This reminds me of my camp counselling days as a teenager when elementary school students spent their summer torturing me with their incessant cries of theft whenever they'd lose any of their belongings.
It was never:
I can't find my baseball glove.
It was always:
Someone stole my baseball glove.
The last line of the article may be one of the most beautifully constructed pieces of condescension ever written.

Manners Matter
Opened in October, socialsklz:-) manners for the modern world offers etiquette workshops for children, tweens, and teens.
"Our world has become so complicated that social skills have gone by the wayside," says Faye Rogaski, founder of the business, who also teaches public relations at NYU and heads Faye Elizabeth Communications. She cites modern technology and social networking sites as factors in this phenomenon.
Rogaski teaches her students the importance of basic social skills, including a firm handshake, eye contact, and addressing adults as Mr. and Ms. "These social skills teach kids to respect themselves, which ultimately leads to respecting other people," she says.
Rogaski's classes also address dining skills, communication skills, and the impact of social media. For older children, she devotes a class to the importance of how they present themselves on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and addresses how it can have an impact on their futures.
Socialsklz:-) offers a workshop series for three age levels: children ages 4-7, tweens ages 8-12, and teens ages 13 and up. Each series consists of four classes held on Saturdays. Classes may also be purchased individually.
Located at 24 Union Square East, 4th Floor South. 212-579-5300. www.socialsklz.com.
More Magic
Fantasma Magic, a magic retail store and showroom that specializes in birthday party and event planning, has recently made some additions to its kids' birthday party package.

A birthday party package includes 3D videos, a Houdini museum, a comedy magic show in the store's miniature theater, and access to a private party room where healthy snacks, juice, pizza, and ice cream cake are provided. The party ends after the birthday boy or girl is levitated in front of the guests.
In the past two months, Fantasma has added more games and a dance contest to the party package, as well as more live animals during the magic show, including Rambo the Celebrity Bunny Rabbit. Children will now also be taught a magic trick before the party's end.
