Renal Essential Chews for Cats
I have been giving these to my 21 yr. old cat for about a year and a half, who was diagnosed 3 years ago with kidney disease. She still eats them readily twice a day (she is normally very finicky and loses interest easily of any treat-like item). They are very easy for my ole girl to chew, as well. I started her on them when another natural liquid kidney supplement was discontinued. I was desperate to find something natural that would keep, what is left of her kidneys, functioning as best as possible. I truly believe, along with her low phosphorus food diet, they keep her renal system regulated, as advertised. No one can ever believe it, when I reveal her age, as she still exhibits a high energy level and, so far, no straining or accidents outside the litter box. Thank you Vetri-Science for a great natural product that works!!

Belle, your pond is beautiful and I love the natural look you have around it. Are your water lillies easy to keep alive? I use clorox in our water works to keep them clean looking so can't have anything alive. I put some duck decoys in one this year to add some color.LOL Luvs signs are so darn cute and I think I need a circut to add to some of my stemware. I started painting some with blue roses for a TS tablescape and will bake them so I will be able to wash them. Anj, are you feeling better yet? KM, hope you are getting your room finished w/o to much tiring work. I haven't redone a room for quite awhile but need to get going and keep things modernized. We are starting to get ready for the fair we set up at every year. Will be spending any free time I find on packing freight up. This year will end up with all our sales for Sept. so hope we end up with good sales for this month. We are still trying to buy land and build but it's so expensive that it kinda scares me. We had a wonderful Prime Rib dinner with friends this evening. I have never cooked one and probably never will if she keeps inviting us over to eat with them every time she cooks one. She had fixed a pineapple dessert that was light and so good. I'll have to ask for the recipe. I set a new table so will close and try to get it posted over on the Holiday forum. Punk |

Belle,what a lovely pond, I really love how you have the little wooden dock and all the pretty plants. I can certainly see how you would get allot of enjoyment sitting out there enjoying it. Punk, so good to hear from you. Prime rib really does sound good, haven't had any for quite awhile. I've only cooked it once, did a thing a friend gave me about heating up the oven, putting the prime rib in and then turning off the oven and not opening the door until x amount of time had passed. It wasn't as well done as I like it, but DH and DS and DIL loved it! I'd just as soon go buy the whole meal! LOL What are you thinking about buying land for? Did you get your parents place sold or are you still renting it out? Are you opening more business locations? Hope you do great at the fair. Luvs |
Beautiful pond area Belle. I know they are lots of work since my brother has one. It's always a work in progress. ha Sounds like ya'll are having fun with family and friends. We went on a little fishing trip last weekend and we are planning a camping trip for this last weekend before school starts. Getting ready for that. I'm not big on camping but my kids love it so....the things we do. I have started a new project. It's a Halloween project that I'm doing for a thank you for my SIL for letting us stay with them. She LOVES Halloween. I found a 3 pack of canvases for $3 at the TS a while back so painting it on one of those and will get her a little easel to prop it on. Hope she'll like it. I'm also doing a couple of other little projects to go in the thank you package. ha I'll show pics before I mail them off. So I'm busy busy as usual. |
Hi, tried to post earlier and couldn't get through on here. Guess it's working now. Luvs, we still own the parents place but still rent our businesses so are hoping to move up and own them someday. I had a real estate gal drop by today and she hasn't had her office open for months so may be willing to rent it. It is so expensive to try to buy land and build. We may have to do one thing at a time. Anj, good to hear from you. Sounds like you are making the kids lives as fun as possible before school starts. I love camping but know it isn't everyones bag. Hope that new matress continues to help you sleep better. DD just returned her new Simmons and went back to her old one. It was a king and just wasn't holding up like it should. She thinks most of the king size will be like that. They paid $1800 for her old one one sale and love it but its a queen. I would never pay that much for one. Good idea to put the dog in the kennel and get a good nights sleep before you head camping. Do you have a camper or use a tent when camping? I'm a little spoiled with having a cabin and toy hauler to sleep in. The last time I slept in a tent it rained all night and I woke up cold and wet while the others in the cabin had a good nights sleep. Glad to hear you will be posting some pictures of your new projects. I'll try to get something finished to share soon. Punk |
Oh Boy if this isn't a first in a while (me coming here and being the last one who posted). Am I on top of things or what? Hope you are busy painting and taking pictures to share! I made homemade spaghetti sauce in the crockpot today so dinner was easy and gave me more time to be on here. I took out burger for tomorrow night so we can BBQ before it gets to cold. It's getting down to low 50's at night so fall is coming fast. I'm behind again on my on line training so maybe this is your way of helping me stay focused and caught up. Will start some training and check back later. Punk |
Hi All, everyone must be really busy. I spent Sat. yard saling and shopping. Today I packed the truck full to take to the TS.LOL I have grown from size 1 to 8-10 so have alot of clothes to share with others. I still have alot of baby items and toys from DGD and want to get them to a new home also. It's funny how we think the kids need all these neat toys and then we give them away. I also got some house cleaning and laundry caught up. I am going to have a new sattelite system installed this week so have to have things sparklin' clean. Maybe I should do this every week.haha We are still getting things ready for the fair so got a few things packed to the toy hauler today also. Need to go get the water shut off so will close and check back soon. I didn't get any training done so best work harder on that this coming week. Punk |

Hi All, Punk, I don't mean to leave you here chatting all alone. I've forgotten to click over here to see what's going on. I've got a few wood pieces ready for a design, but haven't gotten started on one yet. I've also played around with the Cricut some more--made some cute little Halloween cutouts. Hope you get the training all out of the way soon--don't you hate it when things like that are on your mind needing to be done. That's how my vines or my block wall are for me--always needing to be worked on, and I can only do them a section at a time because I fill up all the trash cans and get too tired. Hope Anj and Belle are doing okay and having some summer fun. Hard to believe our summer will soon be over already! My son and his family get home tomorrow night from Costa Rica, I will be relieved to have them home safe and sound again. Have fun all, Luvs |
I see that not only have I been gone far to long but my last post didn't post......small temper tantrum :) Thank you all for the nice review of my pond. It may be some..well more than some work, but it is well worth the effort. Punk...the water lilies are so simple to grow. Your pond or water area just need to be at least 24" deep....the freezing thing, although mine froze solid one year while outside of the pond and they still survived. You might try algae fix instead of bleach to keep your water works clear and clean. Then you can have flowers or plants. If you love Prime Rib (and who doesn't)you need to try it baked in rock salt. You loose no juices at all and it is so tender.....OK I'm hungry! I also thought I wouldn't every spend big bucks on a mattress, then we got a temporpedic, and forget the bucks, now DH leg movements don't keep me awake all night....AH! I also have less legs and knee pain which helps me forget the cost. I hope Anj mattress help her as well. We have very strange weather here. It can be in the 90's by day and down to 55 at night. Rarely does it stay hot at night, which is really nice. Today is supposed to be our last day of 90's plus, I sure hope so!!!!! Yesterday it was 97 and when I went outside at about 7 PM it was like someone put bricks on my chest. Anj....you have your dog, we have Simba, our male cat. He has started yowling at night and unless you talk to him he will keep it up. He has been banished to the mud room several time. Luvs....like you I have been over on the side catching up, my you all have been busy. I have had a whirl wind couple of weeks. My SIL's father had a stroke and I have been taking care of the kids she day cares, 4 year old twin girls, a boy 10 and a 13 yr old girl, and then her Mom had a heart attack and she had to fly to CA., so I also cared for her DF when he came home. Thank goodness the kids are very well behaved! But, I am worn out! Now I need to catch up on everything here at home and the weeds have taken over my flower beds. So...when is vacation----OH! I'm retired! Gotta run...well walk, the dryer just dinged....who ever was silly enough to put a bell on a washer or dryer.....I don't want to know they are done, it just means I have to get moving! Take Care and stay cool! Belle |

To say that Koreans get into video games more than most of us would be an understatement. Sure, we may stay up til midnight to play a sweet new game, but these guys build friggin' stadiums to play them in. Starcraft isn't the only game that's taken off in Korea, though. Ragnarok Online has been a huge MMORPG in the country that spread worldwide and is now landing on Android.
Android devices are already pretty awesome comic readers. There's very little I love in the world more than watching Deadpool hack and slash everything in the universe up on the ultra-high resolution display of my Nexus 10. Though, if anything is gonna give the merc with a mouth a run for his ill-gotten money, it may just be the collective comic anthologies of properties like Star Wars, Hellboy, Serenity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more.
Did you hear about Google's sweet new app called Keep? After five years of Android existing without a basic note-taking app like iOS had for forever, Google finally got around to creating its own. Oh, and it even added a to-do list and picture uploading and voice memos and-wait, what's that? You don't want to use it because Google Reader closed? I'm not sure I follow.
I'm an open-minded kind of guy, though.
I heard from a reliable source that you guys like unlocked cell phones. Well, eBay's Daily Deals have you covered today with an unlocked international Galaxy S III for $449, which is slightly cheaper than the previous deal on this handset of $470. The device comes in your choice of black, white, or blue. As a bonus, the shipping on these devices is entirely free, which makes it one of the cheapest high-end handsets you can get unlocked, excluding the Nexus 4.
Yesterday, Google added support for audio playlists and media controls to Google Currents. We thought this sounded like a pretty neat feature, and, hey! We're on Google Currents! So why not put two and two together? Today we updated our Currents edition to include a feed of our audio podcast and it's actually kind of beautiful. Take a look:
It was possible to add audio before, but it wasn't quite this nice.
Do you like sword fighting giant spiders, expansive worlds to explore, pickpocketing items from strangers, avoiding jail time, riding horses, sneaking around, gathering loot, switching from first- to -third-person at the tap of a button, choice-based questing systems, ragdoll physics, and ancient lore? Then I can think of two games you might be really interested in! One of them is Ravensword: Shadowlands!
The game is set in a fantasy landscape and sends the player on a mission to "solve the mysteries of the Kingdom of Tyreas." Presumably, these are different mysteries from the ones in the Kingdom of Aralon, which were addressed in Aralon: Sword and Shadow, a previous game from the same developer.
As soon as Andy Rubin stepped down from Android, and the head of Chrome stepped up to take his place while maintaining lordship of his former OS, rumors have flown wildly that the two operating systems may merge. Not so, says Eric Schmidt. Speaking at a Big Tent event in India, the former CEO, current Chairman says that the two will remain separate products, though they may have more "commonality" between them.
Google released an update to the news reader it hasn't abandoned today, adding a bunch of support for audio-centric features. Playlists are now available for editions that contain audio content, and users will be able to play, pause, and jump forward or backward in the playlist. There are even status bar controls added for when audio is playing, so you don't have to sit staring at a blank playback page while listening.
Gamers, players, and couch potatoes of the Android Entertainment Force. You are about to embark upon a great download, toward which the developers have striven these many months. The eyes of the Play Store are upon you. The hopes and prayers of war shooter-loving players everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers in arms on the IAP fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the microtransaction war machine, the elimination of nickel-and-diming tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the Android ecosystem, and security for ourselves in a free-to-play world.
Sometimes, the modern world is just too much, you know? Video recording glasses and self-aware phones. It makes you miss the old days where when someone made you upset, you didn't bicker with them on Twitter. You just ran them through with your sword. That's the escapist fantasy that DevilDark: The Fallen Kingdom offers. The game is set in a medieval time when monsters roam the land and you have to gut them to win loot.

WASHINGTON (8/15/14) — U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield (KY-01), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power, is pleased to congratulate the Job Corps Program for 50 years of service to millions of at-risk youth whose lives have been forever changed by the program and to give a special recognition to the Earle C. Clements and Muhlenberg Job Corps Centers located in Kentucky's 1st Congressional District.
This week Job Corps Centers around the country began the kick-off of their Golden Anniversary celebration.
The Earle C. Clement Job Corps Center in Morganfield and Muhlenberg Job Corps Center in Muhlenberg both provide a vital service to Kentucky's 1st Congressional District by serving hundreds of disadvantaged youth between 16 and 24 years of age. Through Job Corps, these students receive an education and career training skills to help them obtain a job and become productive members of the community.
Earlier this year, Whitfield was awarded honors and recognized by the National Job Corps Association on Capitol Hill. As a founding member of the Congressional Job Corps Caucus, Whitfield has continually fought to preserve the Job Corps Program and ensure that it is managed properly by the U.S. Department of Labor in a way that best meets the needs of students. He also worked closely with his Congressional colleagues to ensure that Job Corps receives adequate funding in order to serve as many youth as possible. As a result, tens of thousands of formerly disconnected youth are safe, learning and starting careers in our nation's fastest growing occupations.
"I call upon our citizens to join me in saluting the Muhlenberg and Earle C. Clement Corps Centers and the Job Corps Program for 50 years of success in serving millions of disadvantaged youth by providing academic, employment and social skills training to empower young people," said Whitfield. "I ask everyone to support the official designation of the week of Aug. 18-22 as 'Celebrate Job Corps 50 Week.' I am pleased to see the continued work of these groups, and proud to be involved in helping with such a worthy cause."

Finding an Apartment for Rent in Jonesboro, AR
Jonesboro, Arkansas is primarily known as a college town. There are a lot of other great things about the town besides the Arkansas State University, but you will find that college life really defines this town. From the cafes and diners catering to a younger crowd to apartment complexes built with short-term stays in mind, this is definitely a stop on many a young professional's career journey. Whether you're 18 or 88, however, you can still have a great time living in Jonesboro whether it's for a year or a lifetime.
Top Neighborhoods in Jonesboro, AR
There are a lot of really great neighborhoods in Jonesboro. Some of the best include Valley View and Pleasant Grove. Valley View offers a beautiful view of the valley while Pleasant Grove is just as pleasant as it sounds. Other great neighborhoods include Ridge, Nettleton and Philadelphia. All of these neighborhoods, though more suburban than urban, can be surprisingly affordable if you take your time to find a great apartment there.
Shopping in Jonesboro, AR
The major shopping center of Jonesboro is the Mall at Turtle Creek. Here you'll find JC Penney, Dillard's, Target, a food court with some good Chinese food, coffee and fast food, and plenty of sitting areas to give your feet a rest. Jonesboro was ranked ninth in Kiplinger Personal Finance's listing of the ten best cities for cheapskates in 2012, so you can do a lot of great shopping here on a dime. To be clear, Jonesboro is simply affordable, and that goes a long way with folks just looking to get by.

It tends to stay pretty warm in Jonesboro. You will want to pack a coat and some long pants if you plan on spending a whole year in Jonesboro, but in the summertime you can expect average lows around seventy degrees. In the winter, the lows can get down to the high twenties, but even then, you're going to see highs hovering around fifty degrees. Jonesboro isn't like a tropical island, it does experience winters, but the winters are mild. The summers, on the other hand, are not, so make sure to bring some shorts and tank tops if you're spending the summer in Jonesboro.
Transportation in Jonesboro, AR
Getting where you want to go is pretty easy in Jonesboro. The Jonesboro Economic Transit System (JETS) serves the area with four fixed routes. If you need to get all the way across town, that might take a little more time than you'd like, but JETS does serve the entire city. If you need to commute to work every single morning, it might be worth investing in a vehicle of your own, if you don't have a car already, but if you work in the same neighborhood where you live, a bus pass should be able to handle all of your transportation needs.

Tammy Smith Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings on February 17, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, TAMMY SMITH, a 40-year-old resident of Billings, pled guilty to embezzlement/theft of labor union assets. Sentencing is set for May 19, 2010. She is currently released on special conditions.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica T. Fehr, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
Painters Local 1922 is a labor organization in Billings. It is composed of approximately 31 members, all of whom are employed in occupations related to industrial painting. The local is party to a collective bargaining agreement with four industrial painting contractors located in Montana which are engaged in interstate commerce. The local employed SMITH as the local's office secretary beginning in 2002. Her duties included coming into the office from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. each weekday to check correspondence, handle phone calls, write checks for the local's expenses, collect members' dues, issue receipts, prepare deposit slips, make bank deposits and prepare the locals LM-3 report, a federal reporting requirement. She was paid $10 per hour for the time she worked.
Local 1922 members pay working dues of 4.5%, which are paid directly via payroll deduction. Members also pay monthly dues of $22.75 which are paid directly to the local, either by mail or in person at the union hall. SMITH was the person primarily responsible for collecting the dues and issuing receipts to the members for their payments. The dues were to be collected, receipts issued, and the money deposited into the local's bank accounts. During the course of the investigation it was determined that cash dues payments, accepted by SMITH, were never deposited in the local's bank accounts. A review of SMITH's personal bank accounts for the same period show cash deposits that coincide with missing cash from the local's cash receipts. SMITH was not authorized to keep any of the cash collected as members' dues for her own personal use.
In addition to the missing dues payments, the investigation also uncovered that SMITH was writing checks from the local's bank accounts to herself or to cash. SMITH was not an authorized signatory on any of the labor union's three bank accounts. The questionable checks were reviewed by the president and the business manager of the labor union. Neither individual had any explanation for the majority of the checks written to SMITH or to cash. The president and business manager of the labor union confirmed that SMITH was not authorized to write herself the additional checks. The additional, unauthorized labor union checks corresponded to deposits made to SMITH's personal bank account.
The total amount taken by SMITH from the labor union, without authorization, was $11,175.43.
SMITH faces possible penalties of 5 years in prison, a $10,000 fine and 3 years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Department of Labor.

Vakoka By Marty Lipp Published January 20, 2006 Introducing: The Malagasy All StarsWorld Music Network Intro102CDSHIYANU NGCOBOIntroducing: Zulu Guitars Dance: Maskanda From South AfricaWorld Music NetworkSUKKEIntroducing: New Directions In Jewish Roots MusicWorld Music Network
While one could argue that most world music labels are "introducing" artists to American audiences, this laudable series from World Music Network globetrots to pick out worthwhile projects that otherwise would not be playing at a theater near you. The first three of the series touch down in Madagascar, South Africa and Eastern Europe. Vakoka arrives with a back story worth noting: it represents a project headed by Hanitra of the internationally known group Tarika and a foreign-born producer who fell in love with Madagascar's various types of music. The group brought together a dream team of composers and musicians and created songs that represented different facets of fanahy Gasy or Malagasy soul. The Vakoka project is truly singular in ethnomusicological terms, but it also is a sweet, swinging listen too. Acoustic-based, the tunes move with a gentle funk and float with rootsy voices. Shiyani Ngcobo is a veteran South African guitarist who plays in the maskanda dance style, which is little known outside his homeland. Ngcobo turns out to be one-man dream team himself, mixing various regional versions of maskanda and also lyrically mixing Zulu proverbs with contemporary musical commentary. Those who loved the "Heartbeat of Soweto" collection would similarly go for Ngcobo's acoustic guitar picking. The third disc is from the group Sukke, which is composed of three prominent klezmer musicians from Europe whose principle instruments are accordion, clarinet and bass. While the group plays straightforward klezmer music, without mixing it with other genres, the members write many of their tunes, forwarding the tradition in that way. These three discs, while disparate, show this new series is off to a good start, bringing traditionally rooted music to wider audiences.

I read somewhere that the Packers are the only team in the NFL that will have all 22 of its starters from 2003 returning for this year's campaign. That is a good start, but since G.B. didn't win the Super Bowl last year, it is not good enough. In Green Bay, a 10 - 6 record and two games deep into the playoffs isn't good enough, and Coach Mike Sherman knows it. I am sure Sherman is preparing for the draft knowing that the 2004 club must improve personnel to take it to another level.
The last two years, Sherman and staff have done well with their number one picks, landing WR Javon Walker and LB Nick Barnett, both of whom are excellent ballplayers who should have great futures. Should the Packers be able to pick another instant impact player with their top pick this year, their chances increase for another shot at the Super Bowl. The Packers have the 25th selection in the draft this year. Both Walker and Barnett were selected in that range in previous years, so there is every reason to believe that another gem can be plucked from this year's talented draft pool.
So"¦who will the Pack select with their first round pick? The Packers don't have a lot of glaring needs on offense. Maybe a backup tight end or perhaps a backup for Brett Favre would be nice. On defense, there are several needs starting with defensive end, cornerback, and strong safety.
Here are some possibilities that might be available to the Packers in round one. Antwan Odom, an all-purpose defensive lineman from Alabama; Batman Carroll, a super athletic defensive back from Arkansas; J. P. Losman, a cocky gunslinger-type QB from Tulane; or Ben Watson, a Georgia tight end with impressive speed and strength. Randy Starks of Maryland is another possibility. Starks is a big, strong nose tackle who could contribute this year. Matt Ware of UCLA might be available. Ware can play either safety spot or cornerback and has a big upside.
My hunch though is the Packer's first pick goes for a quarterback, if their man is available. Cheeseheads will be glued to a TV set next weekend to see how it plays out.

Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars presented the 51st Street Fire Station with a check for $3,000 last Thursday. The money was raised in March during the organization's Irish Music Festival.
The money will pay for a bailout wall in the firehouse's backyard, where firefighters can practice jumping out of windows using a personal safety system.
The next Boulevard Bars event is on Saturday, Sept. 7 — the Halfway to St. Patrick's Day Music Festival with proceeds going to the Sunnyside/Woodside Boys & Girls Club. For more information check out the group's Facebook page.
Sunnyside's Boulevard Bars is a collective of 10 bars and restaurants on and around Queens Boulevard.
During the Sunnyside Santathon in 2012 the group raised $5,000 and hundreds of toys at its pub crawl, which benefitted St. Teresa's in Woodside, St. Raphael's in Sunnyside, the 108th Precinct, the MercyFirst Angel Guardian Orphanage in Brooklyn, the post-Hurricane Sandy 94th Street toy drive in the Rockaways, the Metro homeless shelter on Queens Boulevard and the Hour Children Center in Long Island City.

Since research shows that videos increase consumers' likelihood of selecting a physician, we began working with Rush Powers Media in late 2010 on a multi-year project to add video content to Find-a-Doctor, the physician directory on the Rush website. RPM has been responsive to our needs and to the project's often unforeseen challenges—whatever they are and whenever they arise. They have proven themselves to be a team of creative, reliable and detail-oriented specialists in many aspects of video production, project management and communication. These physician profile videos, which support our brand of approachable medicine, are a testament to the dedication, expertise and countless hours that Leah, Dave and their team have given to this project.
Our agency has enjoyed working with Rush Powers Media for the past two years on a variety of client and internal projects. We consider Rush Powers Media to be our 'go-to' resource for all video production. We appreciate their understanding of quick turnarounds and high quality solutions that are cost-effective for our clients and our internal needs. From the start, Rush Powers Media aligns the overall project with their specific client's needs and goals. They have an excellent project manager on staff who takes the headache out of the various details of video production. Their ability to bring out the best in the content and the subject matter is always impressive. From the shoot to the editing to the final product, it is a pleasure working with the Rush Powers team. Our team has a high level of trust in Rush Powers and the results consistently exceed expectations.
It was a great pleasure working with Dave and the team from Rush Powers Media on our promotional video! They took the time to get to know our organization, and really understand what we do. They were very responsive to our needs and truly listened to our suggestions. In the end the video was amazing. It debuted at our gala event and was such a success. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
From start to finish, the creative process was professional and smooth. The resulting high-quality videos Rush Powers Media produced for us were engaging and brilliantly told our story of investigative journalism in the public interest. They've greatly aided our fundraising efforts.
Video has become a dominant player in telling our stories on the web. The professional, quality work Rush Powers Media did documenting our annual conference last year provided us with video content we're using on our website and sharing on Facebook to help build the buzz we need for this year's conference.

Tony DiNovo, president, said DNO creates fresh-cut items as its buyers request them. Many of the items it sells to schools have been specifically requested.
First lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Initiative and its emphasis on children's nutrition encourage school foodservice directors to serve more fresh produce, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program funds daily fresh produce snacks in some elementary schools. Both have helped increase produce sales to schools in Ohio.
ProduceOne also works with school districts to provide a variety of choices for snacks, Pavlofsky said.
Education, health care and national foodservice accounts are ProduceOne's main sources of sales.
One issue that concerns Ohio restaurant owners is the state's 2012 minimum wage increases from $7.40 to $7.70 for non-tipped employees and from $3.70 to $3.85 for tipped employees.
The state's minimum wage is subject to a voter-approved 2006 constitutional amendment that requires annual adjustments based on the rate of inflation.
The increases will occur on Jan. 1, and they apply to employers with gross incomes of more than $283,000, according to a news release from the Ohio department of commerce. Companies grossing $283,000 or less annually are required to pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25.

Alliance Credit Counseling
Since cash inflows and outflows vary in amounts and intervals it can often get quite confusing in trying to figure how much we can afford to spend or save during any given month. Just because you have left over cash this month doesn't mean it's actually available for spending. Learn more about cash flow and debt management and get a free counseling session with an experienced and certified debt counselor by filling out the form to the right.
This calculator was designed to convert all inflows and outflows into their monthly equivalents making it easier to see how much you can really afford to spend during any given month. And because your household is just as much a business as any traditional business, the various sections of the calculator have been set up in the same way most businesses would set up their cash flow worksheet.
Starting at the top and working your way down, complete and calculate the cash flows for each of the six sections. Once you've computed the entire worksheet, including the Cash Flow Summary, you can then go back and edit your entries. Once you're comfortable with your Cash Flow Forecast you can then click on the "Create Report" button at the bottom of the worksheet. This will create a condensed report in a new window that you can print out and refer to when creating your spending plan.

I can hardly logon, gconfd-2 produces high load and /var/lib/gdm/.gconfd/saved_state grows quickly to around 4 GB until it fills the disk :-( I removed that file while gdm was not running, no matter, it got created again ... So right now I have no desktop on my desktop, writing this from the thinkpad. Could someone point me at how to start debugging this? I already rebuilt gdm, gconf, gnome-session ... revdep-rebuild shows nothing, dispatch-conf either Thanks, Stefan

Georgetown lost to Pittsburgh, 13-3, on Saturday night. |
May 4, 2013
Bethesda, Md. - Georgetown sophomore starting pitcher Matt Hollenbeck (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) gave up five runs in the first three-plus innings as the Hoyas lost to No. 17 Pittsburgh, 13-3, in a BIG EAST baseball game at Shirley Povich Field Saturday night.
The Hoyas, who have lost five-straight league games, fall to 25-20 overall and 5-12 in the BIG EAST, while Pittsburgh improves to 35-11 overall and 14-3 in the league.
Hollenbeck gave up an infield single in the first inning and got around that before getting into trouble in the second, as the Panthers took advantage of three walks and scored four runs, all with two outs. Steve Shelinsky hit a leadoff single and Hollenbeck retired the next two batters before walking Evan Oswald to extend the inning. Panthers shortstop Dylan Wolsonovich followed with a home run to left-center, making it 3-0. Hollenbeck walked the next batters and Casey Roche delivered the fourth run with a single up the middle.
The Panthers scored one more run in the third to push the lead to 5-0, but sent seven batters to the plate. Hollenbeck left after issuing a one-out walk in the fourth. He went 3.1 innings, giving up five earned runs on six hits with six walks and three strikeouts.
Freshman Jordan Chudacoff (Highland Park, Ill./New Trier) struck out the first two batters he faced in the fourth inning before giving up two runs in the fifth and one more in the sixth.
The Hoyas scored their first run in the sixth when junior right fielder Christian Venditti (Newtonville, Mass./St. Sebastian's) hit a leadoff double down the left field line and moved to third on a groundout from junior first baseman Steve Anderson (Albany, N.Y./Guilderland). A sacrifice to left from senior second baseman Danny Poplawski (Bellevue, Wash./Overlake) cut the lead to 8-1.
The Panthers scored two more runs in the seventh, both charged to Chudacoff, as the lead went to 10-1. He finished going 3.0 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on three hits, with two walks and three strikeouts.
Freshman Gino Basso (Glen Allen, Va./Godwin) threw 1.2 innings and gave up three runs on four hits with two walks and no strikeouts.
Venditti hit his seventh home run of the season with a blast to left-center in the bottom of the eighth inning. The rally continued with two outs as sophomore catcher Roberto Rodriguez (Clermont, Fla./Montverde Academy) hit an RBI double to left, scoring senior Corbin Blakey (Alpharetta, Ga./Centennial) who walked and moved to second when sophomore Dean D'Ambrosio (Upper Saddle River, N.J./Don Bosco Prep) walked.
Pittsburgh starter Matt Wotherspoon went 7.0 innings, giving up one run on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
Senior Alex Pettee (New Canaan, Conn./St. Luke's), making his first collegiate pitching appearance, threw a scoreless ninth inning, striking out one batter.
Georgetown closes its series against the Panthers on Sunday, May 5, with first pitch at Shirley Povich Field slated for 1 p.m. The Hoyas will start freshman Matt Smith (Cranberry Townswhip, Pa./Seneca Valley), who is 3-1 with a 3.35 earned run average, while Pittsburgh is expected to start junior Ryhs Aldenhoven (6-0, 2.23 ERA).

Looking for a UK city break? Try our top picks.
aaron a1
From musicals to art awards, city-wide music festivals and never-before-seen exhibitions, 2013 is an excellent year to visit Britain. The Olympics gave the world a taste of what's on offer: now's your chance to get over here and discover it for yourself! Here are some of the best cities...
There's all sorts happening in London in 2013. If you want to see the whole of London in one go climb to the top of The Shard — Europe's tallest building —and get an unrivalled view of the city's famous landmarks. Music fans won't want to miss the costumes and stage props of a British pop icon at 'David Bowie is' in March at the V&A. Then, if you're heading out for an evening's entertainment, catch the highly regarded musical 'The Book of Mormon' at the Prince of Wales Theatre in nearby Piccadilly.
You saw the Olympics on TV, now come and experience the Olympic Park for yourself. From July 2013 you can walk in the green parklands of the North Park and attend events at its 7,500 capacity arena. If you're fond of all things horticultural, visit in May for the 100th anniversary of the Chelsea Flower Show. A busy year all in all!
Crowned by the towering edifice of Edinburgh Castle, Scotland's capital is a delightful maze of spectacular sights, beautiful historic architecture and lots of top places to eat and drink. In 2013, head to the National Museum of Scotland for 'Vikings!', a brand new exhibition from January to May that explores modern perceptions of these historic people. While you're there, take a look at 'David Livingstone, I Presume', an exhibition to mark the bicentenary of the famous Scottish explorer's birth, open until April 2013. In the riverside Leith district, see a boat fit for a queen at the Royal Yacht Britannia which celebrates the 60th anniversary of its launch this year.
Step into Bath's elegant streets and immerse yourself in culture, heritage and plenty of excellent shopping. Visit the Jane Austen Centre, or indulge in Britain's only natural hot spring spa at Thermae Bath Spa. 2013 is the 200-year anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, and literature fans will want to time their visit to Bath with the Jane Austen Festival from 13 to 21 September. It's a colourful, costumed event which will see the city transformed into a picture of 19th-century life, complete with a grand masked ball. You'll find plenty of anniversary-related goings on at the Jane Austen Centre here too.
Named the UK city of culture for 2013, Derry will be host to a busy calendar of music, sporting, arts and dance events this year. 12-18 August will see the biggest festival of Irish culture in the world – Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann – take place in the north of Ireland for the very first time. Visit this historic city as it's taken over by musicians and performers and enjoy a week of non-stop partying. See fantastic projection-art by Lumiere, attend the controversial annual arts award the Turner Prize and be wowed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
2013 marks the 50th anniversary of television hero Doctor Who, so it's the perfect time to visit the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff. Based in the studios where Doctor Who was filmed, you'll come face to face with classic monsters, characters and props from the TV show and be able to take part in an interactive adventure of your own. Over at the Wales Millennium Centre you can catch hit musical 'Hairspray' between 18-29 June, or for a more classical performance, see the Welsh National Opera here from 8-28 February.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A surge of U.S. civilian advisers into
Afghanistan has cost nearly $2 billion so far, a U.S. government watchdog
said on Thursday, calculating the price of an important part of President
Obama's war strategy.
U.S. development experts are not much cheaper than the cost of sending
soldiers to Afghanistan, according to data in the audit by the Special
Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR.
The report said it was costing between $410,000 and $570,000 to deploy one
civilian U.S. government employee to Afghanistan for a year.
By comparison, costs per U.S. soldier per year in Afghanistan grew to
$697,000 this year from $667,000 in 2010 and $507,000 in 2009, the
Congressional Research Service says.
The Obama administration announced an increase in civilian advisers --
experts on matters ranging from agriculture to courts -- to Afghanistan in
2009 to accompany an influx of over 30,000 U.S. combat troops there.
Part of what was dubbed a "smart power" strategy, the idea was to build on
military gains with improvements in the lives of ordinary Afghans.
Diplomats and development experts were sent to help boost economic growth
as well as improve Afghan governing capacity and the rule of law.
The number of U.S. civilian employees in Afghanistan increased to 1,040 by
June of this year from 320 in early 2009, said the audit by SIGAR,
undertaken with the State Department's inspector general.
In June, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Congress the civilian
surge had peaked. But she did not discuss how quickly the numbers might be
drawn down.
The SIGAR report comes as pressure is building in Congress to cut
unpopular foreign aid programs in a time of austerity.
Lawmakers have already reduced some Afghan aid due to corruption concerns,
and may slash further if they feel programs are too pricey. Many lawmakers
are tiring of the war, which is costing the United States $110 billion
this year.
Republican Senator Bob Corker said on Thursday he thought the United
States had actually harmed Afghanistan with too much aid, distorting its
economy and culture.
"I think this whole nation-building effort has been put on steroids. ... I
think we have done tremendous harm to the people of Afghanistan with the
huge amounts of U.S. dollars that have flowed into the country," Corker
told colleagues.
Obama announced a plan in June to start bringing U.S. troops home from
Afghanistan. But the SIGAR report suggests that handing off to U.S.
diplomats and civilians in Afghanistan will not be inexpensive either.
"The U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan will likely lead to cost
increases for (the) State (department) due to key military security
functions that State will assume," the audit said. Plans to open two new
consulates in Afghanistan could increase costs, it said.
A congressional Democrat called on Thursday for reforming the way U.S.
foreign aid is organized, saying that would be better than just "cutting
Representative Howard Berman said the system should be changed so the U.S.
government can more easily transfer funds from one region to another
during crises -- and opportunities like the "Arab Spring" uprisings
against authoritarian rulers. (Editing by Peter Cooney)

If more people followed Barry Levinson's example and made art after taking issue with something I've written, Hollywood and my mailbox would both benefit. In recent interviews, the director has said his new film, Liberty Heights, emerged out of anger at comments he interpreted as anti-Semitic in my review of his Sphere almost two years ago: I identified Dustin Hoffman's character as a Jewish psychologist, observing that he was ''noodgey and menschlike.'' I also called Sphere a ''matzo ball,'' and in this I was mistaken: Upon second viewing, I now realize it's an overstuffed kreplach, and Levinson understandably had difficulty swallowing its box office failure.
Levinson was also uncomfortable, I think, that I called a character whose every mannerism is pop-cultural shorthand for Jewish a Jew. Why, he asked, couldn't I say the shrink was just a...guy? In response, why, I ask, can't the shrink also be known as a Jew? In any event, I (with my own identifying Jewish surname, omitted in the reportage) unlocked in Levinson a desire, a need to revisit and explain his own roots in a manner more direct and less cute than in Diner, Tin Men, and Avalon, his previous Baltimore-based, autobiographically anchored films.
In Liberty Heights, Barry Levinson calls a Jew a Jew. And with the freedom borne of that unveiling, he flushes a whole lot of schmaltz out of his arteries.
The movie is set in Baltimore's Jewish quarter in 1954, when an American kid safe from Europe's still-recent Holocaust might think the whole world was Jewishuntil he set foot out of his neighborhood, where the sign at a country club read ''No Jews, Dogs, or Coloreds Allowed.'' Thus, as Ben Kurtzman (Freaks and Geeks' Ben Foster) and his older brother, Van (Adrien Brody), venture away from the traditional table set by their mother (Bebe Neuwirth) and their burlesque-operating, numbers-running father (Joe Mantegna), they taste the possibilities of ''otherness.''
Levinson's storytelling here relies heavily on stereotype, but quickly established and resolved dramatic conflicts are, I suppose, useful in making untroublesome, incontrovertible points about changing times in modern America. (Even the most trite scenes of us-versus-them tension benefit from the strikingly expressive cinematography of Chris Doyle.) Van is smitten by a blond, gentile princess (Carolyn Murphy) who turns out to be a messed-up gentile drinker; Ben, befriending the one black girl (Rebekah Johnson) bused in to his newly integrated school, discovers not only that some blacks are affluent and well educated, but that James Brown is cool; and Dadno dummygets a whiff that burlesque is on the way out.
In other words, the transformational moments (as a menschlike psychologist might say) experienced by these liberty-seeking Jews are about as subtle as Mandy Patinkin's renditions of Yiddish songs heard in the background. But Levinson's passion to explain how he got from there to Sphere gives Liberty Heights its own farkatke Hollywood integrity. Mazel tov. B-

You spread with B.O. Williams took me away. It was an oasis piece within your recent online zine. I was 35,000 feet flying over southern Montana where B.O's coverts are located. I was late fall hunting again with B.O. rising to the ridges that held his birds. He has names for all his coveys and I was not seated in Airbus just pulling the hammers back with the dogs on point. There was no hint of the necessary 1% commercialism for lodges, South Africa Sand Grouse, Argentina flock shooting or South Dakota planted ditch chickens; Just B.O., his teachings and dogs. I love the man and appreciate how as a former high school educator and Prairie Democrat still has the energy to love guns, dogs and teaching.

Thanks for the great feedback!
BTW, Issue No. 10 now works great on Android tablets and iPads. I haven't spent all that much time on an iPad, but I love the way the last two issues of Sporting Shot look on it now. The Ben Williams video -- and the advertising videos for that matter -- look great when you double-tap and fill the screen.
Because Sporting Shot is Flash-based, it has never worked right through a browser window on an iPad. You have to download the app for Apple's app store. Has anybody used it?

Hi everyone -
I'm attempting strawberries for the first time this spring and will be planting them in strawberry pots and hanging baskets. Does anyone have recommendations for a good place to get good strawberry plants, around Madison? Bare root or in pots are equally good. Or, has anyone started them from seed? Tips? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
greenbeans, I never heard of growing strawberries in pots...interesting. My first thought is: What do you plan to do with them in winter? I've also never known anyone to start them from seed...I'd say buy plants. Jung and Gurney both are reliable sources for these. You can place your order now and they will ship at the appropriate time for you. Jung also has several stores here in Wisconsin--Point and Randolph come to mind. Good luck, and do let us know how this works out :) |
- Posted by greenbeans (My Page) on Sat, Feb 24, 07 at 20:16
Thanks for the response, Elvis. You can definitely grow them in containers (that's what strawberty pots are for). I think you just plant them in the spring, harvest throughout summer (unless you get june-bearing), and don't expect them to survive the winter. :) You just end up treating them like annuals, basically. there was at least one variety on the Jung's website that was listed as good for container growth, but that's about all I know. So, it'll be an experiment this summer. Fingers crossed. |

Each holiday season since 1986, the Saint Joseph - Berea community has joined together to support the Lights for Life program as a means to assist uninsured and low-income patients from the Saint Joseph - Berea service area in obtaining emergency care. The monies provided by this program's Emergency Services Fund may be used to pay for an service provided by the hospital and are limited to emergency care. Saint Joseph - Berea coordinates fundraising efforts for this program and its staff and volunteers work directly with persons in need. Now in its 23rd year, the program continues to be a blessing for people in the Saint Joseph - Berea service area.
Part of our mission as a Catholic Health Initiatives hospital is to develop creative responses to emerging health care challenges. Each year many low income, uninsured families face the possibility of becoming ill or injured and requiring treatment, which they may be unable to afford. A contribution to Lights for Life is a way in which you can help your neighbors through difficulty and participate in the promotion of a healthy community. Your gift is also tax-deductible.
The goal of Lights for Life is twofold. Each donation of $10 per name will purchase a "light" on the Lights for Life Christmas Tree in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one. At the same time donors will be helping uninsured patients get the help they need. We encourage you to donate to this worthy cause. We also invite you to join us in our annual tree lighting ceremony held the first weekend of December. This ceremony, with its roll call of honorees, is a very moving and meaningful tribute to the spirit of Christmas. There is no greater joy than to reach out to help a person in need. Make a contribution to Lights for Life a holiday tradition for your family.
