We pretty much do this every year - post pics of our "garden buddies", either the two-legged or four-legged type.
Since I'm trying not to run out on the balcony every 5 minutes and poke my eye into my jugs, I'll get us started on this year's entries. My garden buddy isn't allowed on the terrace, but she sits in the window and supervises me, and helps to chase those durned pigeons away! (We won't talk about how she has to sample everything I have growing inside. Sigh.) My Gracie in her 2009 "glam" shot: This is more representative of her, poking herself where she has no business being: OK, folks, let's see your garden buddies! PV |
Follow-Up Postings:
What a beautiful kitty Gracie is! I think this is a great idea! My kitties, Frasier & Niles, are brothers from the same litter and they look nearly identical, except Frasier has a little more white on the blaze on his chest. They love hanging out on the balcony, I just have to watch them or they will eat some of the plants (crocuses & mint seem to be the favorites). As long as I have plants lining the South wall or pull down the blinds, they can't get off the balcony onto the roof. Frasier, about to munch the crocuses (not allowed): Frasier, after being scolded for eating the crocuses: Niles, chasing the light reflections: Niles, checking the new WS sprouts: Niles, wondering when these hyacinths will bloom: Higher vantage point: |
Sidney is my little garden buddy. She so loves being outside in nice weather. This is her in the wisteria: Checking out the sweet william: |

Especially the shot of her oh-so-daintily sniffing the sweet williams! LOL! Prof - a camera is a requisite around here. We absolutely love pics - of everything! PV |

I had a gardening buddy named White Cat. She adopted me when her owner died. I fed her twice a day on the front porch. During one of our snows this year, she disappeared. I've walked the neighborhood looking for her, but I haven't found anything. I doubt she would have allowed anyone to take her in. She was a free spirit. On Wednesdays, she got a can of cat food as a treat for keeping the squirrels and other cats out of the beds. She never pooped in my yard, always across the street. She was a good cat. And then there is my cat, Daomai (that's Chinese for 'bad luck'). She doesn't really like nature a whole lot after an altercation with some very aggressive hummingbirds in the condo patio a few years ago. She rarely leaves the sidewalk or the driveway, but I do find her out in the yard some mornings. Usually she watches me from the window. She'd just as soon kill you as look at you. Yes, very ying/yang. |
I love this thread & love these pictures! PV - My balcony is only one story up. If I don't put pots in the corner, they might try to get through the railing around the corner to the roof. With the rest of the balcony, though, there really isn't anywhere for them to go, there's no ledge. They'll jump up on the railing (it's pretty wide) occasionally or poke their heads through the railing but mostly they follow me around or if I'm just relaxing then they find a nice sunbeam and relax too. I only let them out when I'm gonna be out there for a little while and I prop the screen door open, so they can run back in if they want to. When I come back inside, they pretty much follow me back in too. When I first moved in, I was a little nervous about it, but last summer we spent a lot of time out there without any trouble and they love it. I hope to see more garden helper pics! |
Everyone's kitties are so cute! Thanks for getting this thread started PV. Look forward to seeing more pics. -StLGirl |
This post makes me sad in a way. This will be the first spring I've had without either of my two very first cats - Sebastian and Cosmo. I do have one kitty, Daisy. She's not allowed outside much as there are a lot of strays around my neighborhood. I also have two dogs - Maggie and Lucy. The dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, so they definitely keep me company. Here are some pictures: |

I have two new garden "helpers" this year. please say hello to Remy and Cody.......... They are already trying to help me dig and weed...lol Lisa |
ollierose - sorry to hear about Sebastian and Cosmo. Beautiful animals. The rest of your four-legged family is so cute. SAMMY! What a face! Lisa - those are some cute pups. Oh, I miss having dogs ... Hey token - have you spotted White Cat yet? Your Daomai looks like a nice kitty - is she really evil? PV |
Thanks PV, I've been missing them a lot lately. My other "kids" really are the best. Then again, aren't everyone's pets? Too bad humans can't be as nurturing, loving and forgiving as they are! Diana |

Jeese, Gail, doesn't that just get ya when people are so cruel to the most innocent of all creatures? What a beautiful dog he is! Sammy looks like he's carrying around the "stinker gene"! He reminds me of our dog Spot, too cute for her own good! I have got to my DH to take a few pics our critter family! GG, don't the dogs chase the ducks away? Our Spot has the Canada geese population trained to stay out of the courtyard here. |
Hi Nancy Drew, As Joseph says to his brothers at the end of Genesis "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good". That dog is one of the best things that happened to us (although if you had told me that when he was a puppy & chewing/destroying everything he could get his teeth on, I would have had something to say!!) They are all very cute, but I must say, that picture of Lucy looks like she's smiling :) Cheers! |

Nancy, the pool has to be fenced off with a temporary snow type fence when we have the cover on it, as we are afraid that the dogs would run right over the cover and then end up drowning or needing rescue. When the cover comes off they know to stay away from the pool. They do keep the critters out of the other part of the yard though. I try to make sure that there is nothing (cat squirrel etc.) in the yard when I am letting them out. They are fast, and 'almost' got a cat not long ago..it tried ot go up over the fence and one of them got it by the leg. It did get away and over the fence, but I have never seen it in the yard since. gg |
This is Thor, my lap top cat. He is great to have around after a long day because he loves to sit in your lap and purr up a storm. Very relaxing. This is Odin, Thor's brother and NOT a lap cat. He prefers instead to play with a toy that you toss or drag on a string. He will occasionally fetch a toy that you toss. |

More New Books in Westwood
Here are some more books that are new in the Westwood library.
The psychology of prayer 2013 Spilka and Ladd
Essential assessment skills for couple and family therapists 2011
"Showing how to weave assessment into all phases of therapy, this indispensable text and practitioner guide is reader friendly, straightforward, and practical. Specific strategies are provided for evaluating a wide range of clinical issues and concerns in adults, children and adolescents, families, and couples. The authors demonstrate ways to use interviewing and other techniques to understand both individual and relationship functioning, develop sound treatment plans, and monitor progress. Handy mnemonics help beginning family therapists remember what to include in assessments, and numerous case examples illustrate what the assessment principles look like in action with diverse clients."
When to use what research design 2012
"Systematic, practical, and accessible, this is the first book to focus on finding the most defensible design for a particular research question. Thoughtful guidelines are provided for weighing the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods designs. The book can be read sequentially or readers can dip into chapters on specific stages of research (basic design choices, selecting and sampling participants, addressing ethical issues) or data collection methods (surveys, interviews, experiments, observations, archival studies, and combined methods). Many chapter headings and subheadings are written as questions, helping readers quickly find the answers they need to make informed choices that will affect the later analysis and interpretation of their data."
Doing what works: An integrative system for the treatment of eating disorders from diagnosis to recovery 2009
"Eating disorders at times leave practitioners feeling as emotionally challenged and out of control as the patients they treat. This is the first book of its kind to provide support, direction, clarity, and optimism to clinicians treating these disorders. In describing what to do and how to do what works, reader-friendly strategies and holistic guidelines bring together science and human personality, protocols and art, skill and instinct, evidence-based research and practicable clinical applications to provide a fully integrative approach to eating disorders care."
Spiritually integrated psychotherapy 2007
"From a leading researcher and practitioner, this volume provides an innovative framework for understanding the role of spirituality in people's lives and its relevance to the work done in psychotherapy. It offers fresh, practical ideas for creating a spiritual dialogue with clients, assessing spirituality as a part of their problems and solutions, and helping them draw on spiritual resources in times of stress. Written from a nonsectarian perspective, the book encompasses both traditional and nontraditional forms of spirituality. It is grounded in current findings from psychotherapy research and the psychology of religion, and includes a wealth of evocative case material."
Cognitive therapy for challenging problems 2005
"This groundbreaking book addresses what to do when a patient is not making progress. Provided is practical, step-by-step guidance on conceptualizing and solving frequently encountered problems, whether in developing and maintaining the therapeutic alliance or in accomplishing specific therapeutic tasks. While the framework presented is applicable to a range of challenging clinical situations, particular attention is given to modifying the longstanding distorted beliefs and dysfunctional behavioral strategies of people with personality disorders. Helpful appendices include a reproducible assessment tool, the Personality Belief Questionnaire."
Cognitive therapy of anxiety disorders 2010
"Updating and reformulating Aaron T. Beck's pioneering cognitive model of anxiety disorders, this book is both authoritative and highly practical. The authors synthesize the latest thinking and empirical data on anxiety treatment and offer step-by-step instruction in cognitive assessment, case formulation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral intervention. They provide evidence-based mini-manuals for treating the five most common anxiety disorders: panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. User-friendly features include vivid case examples, concise "Clinician Guidelines" that reinforce key points, and over three dozen reproducible handouts and forms."
The psychology of religion 2009
"Scholarly and comprehensive yet accessible, this state-of-the-science work is widely regarded as the definitive psychology of religion text. The authors synthesize classic and contemporary empirical research on numerous different religious groups. Coverage includes religious thought, belief, and behavior across the lifespan; links between religion and biology; the forms and meaning of religious experience; the social psychology of religious organizations; and connections to morality, coping, mental health, and psychopathology. Designed for optimal use in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, every chapter features thought-provoking quotations and examples that bring key concepts to life."
Psychodynamic therapy 2010
"Presenting a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to conducting psychodynamic therapy, this engaging guide is firmly grounded in contemporary clinical practice and research. The book reflects an openness to new influences on dynamic technique, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and positive psychology. It offers a fresh understanding of the most common problems for which patients seek help--depression, obsessionality, low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, panic, and trauma--and shows how to organize and deliver effective psychodynamic interventions. Extensive case material illustrates each stage of therapy, from engagement to termination. Special topics include ways to integrate individual treatment with psychopharmacology and with couple or family work."
Five ways of doing qualitative analysis 2011
"This unique text provides a broad introduction to qualitative analysis together with concrete demonstrations and comparisons of five major approaches. Leading scholars apply their respective analytic lenses to a narrative account and interview featuring "Teresa," a young opera singer who experienced a career-changing illness. The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches; their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant, "Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book."
Child and adolescent therapy 2012
"Widely regarded as the definitive clinical reference and text in the field, this authoritative volume presents effective cognitive-behavioral approaches for treating frequently encountered child and adolescent disorders. The editor and contributors are leading experts who provide hands-on, how-to-do-it descriptions illustrated with clinical examples. Relevant theories and research findings are explained, and exemplary treatment manuals and client workbooks reviewed. Coverage encompasses evidence-based treatments for aggression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, depression and suicidality, obsessive–compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and trauma. Ways to involve parents in treatment are addressed throughout."

Treating Patients With Alcohol and Other Drug Problems: An Integrated Approach, Second Edition 2011 By Robert D. Margolis, PhD and Joan E. Zweben, PhD
This new edition of the book seeks to enhance the confidence and skill of psychotherapists and other practitioners in addressing alcohol and drug use in the context of their ongoing work. It includes new material on individual psychotherapy and family therapy for clients with AOD problems, as well as an updated overview of the treatment community (both self-help and professional) that examines the basic assumptions and operating principles of various treatment venues in an effort to minimize the miscommunication that can occur when professionals from different "cultures" attempt to collaborate on client care.
Young Children With ADHD: Early Identification and Intervention 2011 By George J. DuPaul, PhD and Lee Kern, PhD
This book is the first to describe empirically-supported early intervention with children aged 2–5 years who have or are at risk for ADHD. The authors present a three-tiered model for prevention and intervention that can be implemented at home or in preschool settings. This promising model can be adjusted to the degree of difficulty the child is experiencing and consists of universal intervention strategies, small group skills instruction, and assessment-based behavioral interventions.

P2AB is a community site where members of the firearms community / gun culture can get together and share information on which manufacturers, businesses, politicians, and governments support the 2nd amendment unconditionally.

To that end you will find a blog, social media and message forums to use. All of these are integrated, you can choose to read the blog, participate in the message forums, or the social media aspect. Or any combination of the three.

Gun control is not about saving lives or reducing violence.
February 2013: Vice President Joe Biden in his own words:
"Nothing we're going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring uh, uh gun deaths down to a thousand a year from uh, from what it is now"
It is about taking your guns!
Reasonable Gun Laws?
National Firearms Act (1934)
Gun Control Act of 1968 (1968)
Firearms Owners Protection Act (1986)
Gun-Free School Zones Act (1990)
Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993)
Federal Assault Weapons Ban (1994-2004)
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (2005)
Gun owners have already been reasonable!
No more "reasonable" gun laws!
What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you get?
This is what I consider reasonable:

YAVATMAL: Nationalist Congress Party will take a firm stand to ensure prompt help and justice to the farmers of Vidarbha, assured deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar. He was addressing a mammoth gathering of Congressmen and farmers from across the district at the postal ground on Monday to facilitate the formal entry of Uttamrao Patil and his hundreds of supporters into NCP.
NCP state unit president Madhukar Pichad, ministers Manohar Naik and Anil Deshmukh, MLC Sandeep Bajoria, ex-MLC Dr NPHirani, ex-MP Uttamrao Patil, ZP member Suresh Lonkar, former MLAs Annasaheb Parvekar, Prakash Patil Deosarkar, Vijay Patil Chondikar and Bapurao Patil Panghate and district unit president Pravin Deshmukh shared the dais.
Over 100 people's representatives on various local bodies along with Uttamrao Patil were inducted into NCP by state president Madhukar Pichad.
Pawar said that with the entry of Patil and his supporters, the strength of NCP had increased and it would be demonstrated in the elections to municipal councils, zilla parishad and panchayat samitis. "You have reposed your trust in Congress and BJP till now in Vidarbha. But both the parties betrayed you. You give your mandate to us (NCP) and we will change the face of Vidarbha," Pawar said.
Pawar highlighted the achievements of the Democratic Front government in the state in the last one year and said that it had taken a number of far-reaching decisions to help farmers. "We have already framed the textile policy and it is our effort that the cotton mills should be set up in the area where it is produced," he said. Textile parks will be set up at 60 places to achieve the objective, he said.
The government has decided to give crop loan up to Rs one lakh with zero per cent interest and Rs 1-3 lakh loan at the rate of 2% interest provided the farmers are ready to pay installments regularly, he said.
Regarding the minimum support price (MSP) for cotton, Pawar said that it should be one that matches the production cost. He admitted that the MSP of Rs 3,300 per quintal of cotton is much less than the production cost and it should be hiked.
"We have proposed to take a delegation to the prime minister to demand for lifting ban on export of cotton, sugar, onion and soyabean and competitive global market for agriculture produces," he said, adding that there will be no snapping of electricity connections to water pumps in future.
Though the Maharashtra Energy Rate Board has proposed 41 paise per unit hike, the government has decided not to impose it on farmers for which it will give subsidy to MSEDCL, Pawar said.
He has also highlighted the benefits of the Rajiv Gandhi Jeevan Dayi Yojana of the Govt and said that 2 crore families will soon be brought under the scheme which will be launched from April 1 next year.
"The Govt is scrutinizing the feasibility of bringing the farm labour under MREGS so that the labour charges will be shared in the ratio of 75% ( by Govt) is to 25 % ( by respective farmers).
Before winding up his speech, Ajit Pawar cautioned his baiters that they should not interfere with the activities of the Party and if anyone tries to do so, they would be answered with the same coin.
He has also trained his gun at MNS chief Raj Thakerey and Shiv Sena Working President Uddhav Thakerey as both of them often criticize him and makes uncalled for allegations regarding the farm and co-op bank issues and he posed a question if they know where the cotton and sugar cane are grown and how a co-operative bank or similar institution function.
The Party State Chief Madhukarrao Pichad, Minister Manoharrao Naik, Uttamrao Patil, Suresh Lonkar, Adv. Shankar Rathod, Vijay Patil Chondikar and others have also spoken at the function and urged the gathering to strive for converting the district into an NCP stronghold.

Remarks on the Style of Commercial Web Texts
De Beaugrande (1984) has argued that a purely (text) linguistic analysis of language artefacts cannot account for the rich communicative contexts that define style. In fact, there is no norm or grammar that characterises a given passage of text to be stylistically relevant. In other words, the manipulations that one could perform on a surface text's linguistic or grammatical structure may barely affect the style of the text at all. Changes on a text may rather influence the style via the context and less via the linguistic structure. Consequently, a linguistic discussion on the style of writing should somewhat be hold in terms of text being an element of discourse than text being a structural unit of language. Other contributions to that discussion may then come from the fields of pragmatics and semantics.
2007-11-10 21:43 | 08. Writing for the WebE-Commerce and What Can Be Read between the Lines
Any Web site, whether a private home page or an e-commerce platform, follows certain plans and motivations that are related to the idea of the whole. Media companies therefore use their Web site to bring the latest news to the public; computer systems companies intend to sell computers and accessories; hobby Web sites try to entertain people with animations, interactive jokes, or games; and publishers of serious content provide concise facts about specific topics. So, information on the Web always serves certain functions and ambitions. For this shall be the context of my concerns, I will make a few remarks on e-commerce in this and the following postings.
2007-06-23 19:37 | 05. E-Commerce , 02. Internet UsageThe Use of Literature on Web Linguistics and Usability
Whereas traditional literature on the fields of discourse analysis and text linguistics is – as one would have expected – very much at hand, useful literature (including online papers) on the particular concerns of Web linguistics are rare and ambiguous. Indeed, the topic is widely discussed among a variety of Web sites, but scientific standards, such as giving references or providing the information necessary for citing these publications, are often ignored . Therefore, I only used a few online papers for my discussion on Web linguistics. These however have been derived from reliable sources, as far as I can say.

Hello everyone! I am a type II diabetic, and have been since 1990. I am one of those Type II's that does not fit the mold of mainstream media. I was diagnosed while in the Marine Corps and coincidentally also in the best shape of my life. I have never been overweight, and never had bad eating habits, however the family history has Type II's in every generation. Spending any time indoors makes me completely mental - I am into just about anything and everything as long as I am outside. From hiking, hunting, fishing, four wheeling, jet skiing, boating, etc etc.
Up until 9 days ago I was on oral medications only. Over the past 12 months my AIC went from a 6.1 up to a 14.2! This did not happen overnight, but because I was always so controlled on the oral medications I made the mistake of not checking my BG regularly. Long story short, my pancreas stopped functioning and I went on Insulin. I am taking Humalog and Lantis for a TDD of between 45 - 50 units per day.
My fasting numbers are now in the 80's and my after meal numbers are usually between 90 and 110. I attribute that success 100% to this forum. When I was advised that I would be starting Insulin I spent several days reading and reading until my eyes bled - who knew there was so much to learn? Myself and my endo are still dialing in the insulin, but I think that I am doing pretty well for using it less than 2 weeks - so I thought I would drop in here and give you all a huge Thank You! This forum has a huge wealth of information, and from REAL diabetics - that is very difficult to find.
I will be continuing to read and post as things come up, but I really want you all to know that this site really does help people, and I can attest to that! Thanks Again for such a great place!
Wow. I am overwhelmed with deja vú reading this thread. Often I feel as though I am preaching to the choir. This time, I'm listening to the choir. Practically everything here I have said somewhere, sometime, to somebody. Feels like old home week.
Like all of you who commented here, I get very plugged in by the all-too-prevalent mindset that says insulin use is a last resort, or an admission of failure. How absurd! It ought to be just the opposite. If you can't achieve control by other means, and you have this incredibly powerful therapy available, it's insane not to take advantage of it. That's how I see it, anyway.
If you had a broken leg, would you put off getting a cast a long as possible? Would you consider it a last resort, or view the need for it as failure? Of course not! You'd want it RIGHT NOW, the sooner to begin healing.
For the record: I have been T2 for almost 20 years. For most of that time I controlled it casually and somewhat haphazardly with exercise, oral meds, and a (semi) reasonable diet. About a year ago I realized that my A1c was creeping upward no matter what I did so I began an intensive course of self study. One of the first conclusions I reached was that insulin was a big part of the answer. Fortunately, I have a really terrific PCP who didn't need much convincing.
For whatever it's worth, I agree with jims about the etiology of T2. A century ago the average American consumed around 4 pounds of sugar a year. Today (according to the USDA), it's more than 150 pounds per person per year, and that's not counting the 50-plus pounds that are concealed in packaged process foods. So, we eat 30 or 40 times the sugar our great-grandparents did, and diabetes is spreading at epidemic rates. Could there be a connection? Nahhh . . . .
We evolved eating protein and vegetables. We didn't even eat grains in any significant quantity until agriculture was invented, and that's only been about 10,000 years. We simply aren't engineered to process large amounts of carbohydrate. Evolution just doesn't work that quickly.
Okay. I'll shut up now.
Wow, your post really made me think about things, David. You are right, 100% right, and who would know better than a diabetic? 12 years ago, I said I wouldn't give myself a shot, and it was only until I could see that it was a pen, and the help of an excellent diabetic educator that I said, please please can I have my insulin. I wonder how much better I would be doing now if I would have said yes right away, or at least been more open to it? Somehow, it appears that if we are on insulin, we are on our way down hill. Your analogy was great, I am going to use it when I try to explain to others about my insulin, Thanks,
Yes, exactly. I wish I had done this years ago. I hear you, loud and clear.
Amazing. I ended up at a point where I was 13.3 A1C and caught my liver misbehaving badly. My BG would not drop sub 184.
I started insulin - humalog 75/25 about 7 years ago.
Afer changing how I took metformin to arrest the liver monkey shines and work my diet ( modified mediterranean style diet - 1200 calories a day
as well as 2 miles walking a day).
Today, my pancreas after 26 years stopped its rip van winkle act and went back to working and I ended up yanking the starlix, actos and the 75/25 humalog. I now use humalog lispro - 2 units for every meal and I stopped my lantus which is very effective correcting the basil insulin.
My Doctor said I had a non standard T2 case that did not match any of his playbook and recommended practice.
Things are slowly changing and folks are beginning to realize the human digestive ssystem is complex and the Liver, and other hormones need checking and possible boosting and control and that always foocusing on the pancreas and insulin to the exclusion of the other factors for T2 is neither wise nor effective.
As for the oral meds - throw those in the ashcan. I wish I had been put on the liquid insulin far earlier. The oral crap forces one to eat to prevent lows while the liquid insulin is totally flexible and can be easily sized for the carb loading of a meal. Properly done with sufficient exercise, one does not gain weight.
You are doing great a TDD of 45 to 50 is great not that much insulin resistance. And your blood sugars are fantastic.
Some docs, including endos are reluctant to put people on insulin because they don't have total control over anything. So make sure your endo knows that this is something that YOU want to do and WANT to get your "D" under control. Your numbers sound high, and if you are doing what you should maybe a sliding scale insulin before meals would do you good. Ask him/her about it and see what they say?
You can get all three of these books from Amazon:
Richard K. Bernstein, Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, 4th. ed. (New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2011)
Gary Scheiner, Think Like A Pancreas, (Boston: Da Capo Press, 2011)
John Walsh et. al., Using Insulin, (San Diego: Torrey Pines Press, 2003)
Notwithstanding the advice you may (or may not) receive from your health care team, it will be YOU who makes the day-to-day decisions involving management and control. You should read all three of these books if you're going to use insulin. They will give you the essential knowledge base you need in order to manage this very powerful tool effectively. (Actually, every diabetic should read the first one, insulin or no insulin, but that's a different discussion.)
Finally, tuD, these forums and the chat room are an immensely helpful knowledge bank to draw on when it comes to actual real-world experience of those who have been here before you.
I worked very hard to try to get good control as a T2. I had all these books and followed Bernstein since 2006, but I couldn't achieve what I considered my target. But my doctors were basically happy if I was at 7-8%. I kept pushing my GP for insulin as the medications, diet and exercise were not enough, but no go. My GP absolutely refused to be the one to initiate insulin. So I was referred to an endo after more than a year of asking for insulin. And my endo turned out to be just as bad, constantly changing medications, the latest greatest drug, some costing me $200/month. But still refusing my request for insulin. In the end, I just threw up my hands and started insulin on my own. I did it smartly, I own all the books David S. mentioned, plus more. It has been two years, I dropped my A1c like 1% and have never had a serious hypo. Even more surprising, I have not gained any weight since starting insulin.
After starting, I made an appointment with a new endo and just presented myself at her door already having started insulin. She has no problem with it. In the end, I think that no doctor wanted to be "liable" for the decision to initiate insulin. Frankly, this is "my" diabetes and it is my decision, I just acted on it.
Brian -- so much good information there. Thanks for posting your experience.
Being satisfied with 7 or 8 percent A1c's is absurd, as you recognized. I don't think there can be any question that the fear of liability is a major factor in the reluctance of some doctors to prescribe insulin.
Everyone's experience is their own. My GP was very willing to cooperate, in part I think because it was evident to him how much homework I had done. It wasn't all luck, though -- I ended up with this doctor because I went shopping. I interviewed doctors, told them what I wanted to do, and gauged the reactions. I picked the one who seemed least doctrinaire and most willing to work with me, and as it turned out, I chose well. He deals with me like a partner, not a boss.
The moral of all of that is, if your doctor isn't willing to do what's needed to normalize your blood sugar, you need a different doctor.
But the final, absolute bottom line is perfectly encapsulated in your last sentence. For each of us, it's our disease, our life, and our responsibility. You can get all the advice in the world, from doctors or anyone else, but achieving control -- the actual doing of it -- is up to you and NOBODY else.
In the end we have to take control of our own bodies. If we are very lucky we will find a doc/endo who will be willing to work with us, trust what we are feeling, not what the drug sellers are telling them is the "latest and greatest". Keep records of your numbers, your diet, your exercise, your emotions, etc and present that info to your providers. It IS our disease and we are responsible for taking care of us. I don't know about putting yourself on a med, how did you get your insulin without a script? But if that's what it took, you are lucky to not have done more harm....and to have such good results. I applaud you!
I think we owe it to ourselves to be "smart" patients, so I have always done a lot of reading and learning about diabetes. I bought and owned many books, including those listed by David S. above. When I started insulin, I was already very experienced counting carbs and knew everything I needed for intensive insulin management. I even asked Dr. Bernstein himself whether insulin was an appropriate step on one of his teleconferences. You are of course right, it can be foolish and dangerous to just start insulin, but I tried very hard to make sure I did it safely and smartly and I only did it as a last resort when it became clear that I was going to continue being denied it as an option.
And we are fortunate that human insulin remains an over the counter drug. In most of the US, you can walk right into Walmart and ask for Relion NPH and R without a prescription.
I am happy to have moved to insulin. No oral medication ever dropped my A1c more than a couple 0.1%. Finally, I have the control I want.

ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT and THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY MESMERIZE AUDIENCES WITH THE COMPELLING AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM
Nominated for Three Academy Awards® and Three Golden Globes®
Directed by Academy Award®-Nominated Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson,
THE MASTER Heads To Retail On February 26, 2013!
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company announced today the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD release of THE MASTER, the innovative film that has won over audiences and critics alike. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), the 1950s-set drama centers on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as "The Master" (Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Moneyball) who creates a belief system which catches on with other lost souls - and a young WW-II veteran (Joaquin Phoenix, Gladiator) who becomes his right-hand man. In addition to Hoffman and Phoenix, the film also stars Amy Adams (Doubt) and Laura Dern (Little Fockers). THE MASTER heads to retail on February 26, 2013 for an SRP of $39.99 for the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and $29.98 for the DVD.
Haunted by his past, WW-II veteran and drifter Freddie Quell crosses paths with a mysterious movement called The Cause, led by Lancaster Dodd aka "The Master" and his wife Peggy. Their twisted relationship is the core of this film that is "a glorious and haunting symphony of color, emotion and sound with camera movements that elicit an involuntary gasp and feats of acting that defy comprehension (A.O Scott, The New York Times)."
Awarded Best Actor for both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson at the 2012 Venice Film Festival, THE MASTER is a film "that casts a spell like a fever dream (David Ansen, Newsweek)."
Stunningly photographed in 65mm, THE MASTER stands as an undeniable cinematic experience. Will Freddie be able to outrun his past? Will The Cause help or hurt him? Can this tortured, violent creature be civilized? Or is man, after all, just a dirty animal?
THE MASTER Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD special features include: "Back Beyond" which features outtakes and additional scenes edited to music by Johnny Greenwood; "Unguided Message," an 8 minute short / behind the scenes; Teasers/ Trailers. The Combo Pack also includes an additional special feature "Let Their Be Light (1946), John Huston's landmark documentary about WW-II veterans." Note: Special features are subject to change.

An American biotech company is about to start the world's first study using human embryonic stem cells.
The project focuses on repairing spinal cord injuries. The stem cells will be injected into people who can use their arms, but can't walk.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the measure this week.
Stem cell studies are controversial, because they create a live embryo and then destroy it.
The New York Times reports there could be a backlash against using stem cells if this new therapy proves unsafe or doesn't work.

Bowser Jr. Space
Bowser Jr. Spaces are a variant of minigame spaces in Mario Party 9. When landed on (for a human captain), Bowser Jr. will appear and challenge the captain, as well as a randomly chosen second player, to a Bowser Jr. minigame. The second player can be either a CPU player or a second human player. However, if a CPU captain lands on this space, Bowser Jr. will always force a human player to play his minigame with the CPU captain. This is likely done to reduce giving human players chances of winning, and to not have CPU-only minigame play. If the team wins, they get five Mini Stars each; if Bowser Jr. wins, he will take five Mini Stars from both players. Bowser Jr. randomly picks one minigame out of all of them and asks the captain if he or she is "sure" that's the minigame they want to play. If the captain (also a CPU captain) says "No", Jr. will simply pick another minigame. When this happens, the second minigame Bowser Jr. chose is what the players must play. If only two players are playing, however, this space will not be present. Likewise, there are no Bowser Jr. Spaces in the DK's Jungle Ruins board. Names in other languages[edit]

The majority of companies do not vend their goods straight to the end consumers even in B2B markets. Between the companies and the end consumers are a set of mediators carrying out multiple functions. These mediators comprise the marketing channel or distribution channel or trade channel, as they are alternatively known.In any distribution channel, there are three sets of intermediaries:
1. Merchants:
Such as wholesalers and retailers; these merchants, buy the goods hence take title to the goods from companies and resell the goods in smaller lots to other channel members or end customers.
2. Agents:
Such as sales agents, carrying and forwarding agents or manufacturer's representatives; these agents represent the company, look for new customers, negotiate on behalf of the company, and help expand the reach of the company's channel. However, they do not take title to the goods.
3. Facilitators:
Such as transportation companies, warehousing companies, insurance companies and after sales-service facilities, facilitate the distribution process but do not negotiate sales or purchases nor take title to the goods.
In a general sense, channel members "add value" to a company's products by making the goods available at the right time, place and in the right quantity and right conditions to the end customer. To do so, a number of activities need to be performed. We can broadly classify these activities into forward flows, backward flows, and point-of-sale.
The various activities taken by channel members are:
• Transfer of title or ownership and physical movement of goods.
• Storage of goods at various transit points as well as stocking and inventorying goods.
• Processing orders from retailers and customers.
• Assuming risk connected with movement of goods.
• Provide for payment of bills and credit to buyers.
• Negotiate pricing and other terms.
• Maintain a sales force to stimulate demand at retail level and to service retailers.
• Develop and disseminate information to stimulate merchandising.
• Handling complaints and sales returns.
• Display of products at retail level through attractive merchandising.
• Gathering and sharing information with companies about buying patterns of current customers, potential customers, competitors and other factors that affect the business.

Paul Strand American, New York City, 1923 Palladium print 9 11/16 x 7 5/8 in. 86.XM.683.54
In 1921 Paul Strand married the painter Rebecca Salsbury. During the early years of their marriage, he photographed her frequently, making this intimate portrait of her in 1923. It is a close-up study of her peaceful, sleeping face, her chin resting gently on her bare shoulder against the white bed linen. The folds and curves of her flesh are softened in the even lighting that bathes her skin, while the claustrophobically close cropping emphasizes her form and at the same time diminishes her more individual features.

Alaska Railroad will mark the 90th anniversary of the famed serum run with expanded service between Anchorage and Fairbanks, part of the rail route involved in the historic journey.
The idea is to offer visitors a chance to retrace the rail portion of the route on which life-saving diphtheria antitoxin was transported to the isolated western town of Nome, where an outbreak of the disease nine decades ago was killing children.
Sled dogs and mushers get much of the glory for their courageous relay on the last leg of the journey across the remote tundra, but the train played a key role too. It brought the serum from the southern port of Seward as far as Nenana, outside Fairbanks, and handed it off to the mushers.
"Since time was such an issue, it would have been unlikely that the serum would have arrived to Nome in time if the railroad had not taken it to Nenana," Dan Seavey Sr., who helped coordinate the first Iditarod sled dog race, says in a statement.
Indeed, the precious transport...

Read moreU.S. News & World Report on Tuesday named Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., the best luxury hotel in the United States.
Rancho Valencia near San Diego received a 5-diamond rating from AAA last week and already had a five-star rating from Forbes. It also made Conde Nast Traveler's 2015 World's Best Hotels Gold List.
"Word of mouth has gotten out there, and momentum builds" Jeff Jacobs says of the resort's newfound fans. He leads an investment group that bought the property in 2010 and invested $30 million to upgrade the site.
Even with the changes, the character of the boutique resort remains. "The owners of the original property in 1989 did an incredible job of building a resort with 52 rooms on 45 acres," Jacobs says.
In selecting the best hotels of 2015, U.S. News ranked 2,558 properties in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, according to a statement.
The magazine looks only at luxury hotels that have 20 rooms or more and weighs the opinions of travel...

Read moreIf you're lucky enough to be traveling in Hawaii right now, you've likely seen humpback whales breaching and slapping the water. At this time of year, they're pretty hard to miss.
Humpbacks make the more than 4,000-mile journey from Alaska to Hawaii typically between December and April. Sightings are best in January and February when babies are born, and moms with their young can be seen off the coast of several islands.
(In Southern California, gray whales can be seen along the coast making their migration from the Bering Sea to Mexico's Baja Peninsula and back.)
If you want to go whalewatching, many companies operate seasonal tours right now. If you book ahead of time online, you're likely to find a discount. Also bear in mind that boats aren't allowed within 100 yards of a whale — neither are humans swimming or paddling.

The cruise line's Valentine's Gift Package is good for cruises on the MS Paul Gauguin. The ship carries 332 guests and sails around Tahiti and other French Polynesia and South Pacific destinations.
The gift is good for those who reserve a cabin by Feb. 14 on any Paul Gauguin cruise through the end of the year. The $200 credit -- one per booking -- allows you to pick from spa treatments at the ship's Deep Nature Spa by Algotherm.

One of our best "table draws" is a couple half bushel baskets divided into 5 or 6 wedges with a diffrent type of hot pepper in each one. They are very attractive sitting on the table and people will often come over and buy other stuff like heirloom tomatoes or other high dollar items. We sell them 5 for a dollar the first couple weeks, and end up with selling them 10 for a dollar, we don't make much money for them but they draw a lot of people, granted it is a lot of work.
People buy them to pickle, string, or decorate. We would like suggestions for fairly early (as we live in Northern, Ohio) and prolific production. They also need to be lots of diffrent colors and generally attractive or interesting looking. We also grow mainly heirlooms so that is important. Our best ones so far has been Lemon Chilis. Any advice on varieties for this use? |

Check out the seed savers exchange catalogue if you haven't already. they have a lot of beautiful heirloom hot peppers of all shapes, sizes and colors. Peppers are such eye candy. |
Thanks. I have it, we've used a lot of theirs before. There are just so many out there that I thought people might have advice. |

if you're looking for early, stay away from capsicum chinense, habanero types, and others from tropical places. As a general rule, those are very long season, and might require heroic methods to get colors duirng summer months. It is possible, with early planting and optimum growth, however. Reimers has a huge selection: |

Active Standard: E1921 - 14a
Developed by Subcommittee: E08.07 | Committee E08 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Rationale
This ballot item adds language to clarify that the standard presumes that the material evaluated to determine To is homogeneous. Additional guidance is also provided to users that suspect their material may not be homogeneous, including evaluation methods which determine if the material is likely to be inhomogeneous and then calculate appropriate indexing temperatures and failure probability bounds for the material if it is inhomogeneous. Finally, the use of the outlier method to eliminate data points obtained from possible inhomogeneous material is proposed to be deleted. It has been demonstrated that the outlier method currently in E1921 does not discriminate between homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials with sufficient accuracy, especially for the small number of data (i.e., 6 to 12 specimens) currently allowed within the standard. Therefore, it is not appropriate to discard data that have met all requirements to be considered a valid KJc measure. Specific modifications to section are as follows. Modifications to 1.8 clarifies that the assumption within E1921 that the material is homogeneous, identifies that additional inaccuracies are associated with inhomogeneous materials, and references procedures that the user can employ if material inhomogeneity is suspected. New Section 5.3 recommends separate metallographic analysis, mechanical testing, and toughness testing of possible nonuniform regions to also aid in determining if the material is inhomogeneous. Additionally, in Section 9.3, the use of the outlier evaluation to eliminate possible inhomogeneous material using current Equation 18 is proposed to be deleted and it is clarified that no valid KJc data shall be discarded unless the data is not representative of the intended test material. Guidance on interpreting outliers using alterative evaluation methods to identify possible inhomogeneities and then quantitatively assess the material inhomogeneity is also proposed. New references are added which provide these alternative evaluation methods.

So Jerome Valcke actually said these words, according to Reuters:
(Reuters) – Too much democracy can be a hindrance when organising a World Cup, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said on Wednesday.
Valcke said one of the reasons FIFA had encountered difficulties in organising the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was due to the various levels of government in the South American nation.
He expected fewer problems for Russia 2018 with President Vladimir Putin.
"I will say something which is crazy, but less democracy is sometimes better for organising a World Cup," he told a symposium on the tournament.
"When you have a very strong head of state who can decide, as maybe Putin can do in 2018…that is easier for us organisers than a country such as Germany….where you have to negotiate at different levels.
Think about these words. Let them sink in. Then read them again. That annoying democracy. But the final sentence is a real kick in the balls,. Sepp Blatter said these words:
"I remember my first World Cup where I was directly involved was the one in Argentina and I would say I was happy Argentina won," he said.
"This was a kind of reconciliation of the public, of the people of Argentina, with the system, the political system, the military system at the time."
Amazing. Horrifying. But amazing.

Zakuani finds the waiting difficult
Having to watch Saturday's MLS opener was difficult for Sounders FC's Steve Zakuani, but a lot is coming easier to the midfielder in the final stages of his recovery from a broken leg and related complications
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Weekend Watch: Must-see matches from around the world NEW - 1/30, 12:21 PM
TUKWILA — Steve Zakuani wants to cheer on his team, but it's not always easy.
Nearly a year has passed since the Sounders FC midfielder had his leg broken in Colorado last April. A serious complication called compartment syndrome and some resulting nerve damage prolonged the rehabilitation. Even as Zakuani nears the final stages of recovery, the games are still hard to watch.
"It's maybe even worse, because you want to play," he said.
Everything during Saturday's MLS opener against Toronto FC was a reminder to Zakuani that he can't yet return to the game he loves: the loyal fans packing CenturyLink Field, the pregame march to the match, the team band, even the national anthems.
"That's not going to get easy, I don't think, until I can play," said the 24-year-old. "I support from kind of a distance, and obviously I'm with the guys every day, and we all want the team to do well, but on the individual side of it I don't find it easy at all."
Fortunately, Zakuani is finding a lot of things easier from a physical standpoint.
Even though he's not 100 percent where he was preinjury (by his admission), Zakuani's leg continues to get stronger and these days he's essentially training without restriction. During Sunday's practice he wowed some spectators with a skillful step-over move to set up a shot — and it's not an uncommon sight.
With confidence growing, Zakuani said he's on track for an MLS return in July or August. Coach Sigi Schmid recently suggested that he could possibly play in a reserve game at the end of the April.
Said Zakuani: "I could barely jog or train (last summer) and now I'm playing with the guys — that's obviously great progress. That makes me happy, but you want more. I'm still pushing to get back to where I need to be. I'm getting there slowly."
On the field, he's getting places quickly. According to the Sounders' new GPS tracking system, Zakuani's top speeds in practice are very close to what they were at full strength.
To continue the final phase of recovery, Schmid said he wants to put Zakuani into more competitive situations, "eventually against opposition, where guys aren't going to be as protective of him."
Schmid also wants to play Zakuani more on a big field, instead of small-sided scrimmages, and also see those high-speed moments more frequently.
"That one burst is there," the coach said, "but then how long does he need to recover to have that burst again? That's what we're trying to cut down on is that recovery time. Once he can do that ... then we'll know he's close to being back."
• Forward Eddie Johnson (hip) was able to jog Sunday but is still expected to be out another couple weeks, according to Schmid. Midfielder Mauro Rosales had some swelling in his right knee after Saturday's game and will be evaluated further Monday.

Bugzilla – Bug 3040
Webmds can break if started from the wrong directory
Last modified: 2008-02-12 11:11:07
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
If there's a client-config.wsdd file (that's different from the one that webmds uses) in the current directory that tomcat is started from, webmds may throw an exception when trying to read its configuration files. Workaround: when starting tomcat, be sure you're in a directory that doesn't include a client-config.wsdd file (in other words, don't start tomcat from $GLOBUS_LOCATION).
Added code to CVS to detect this condition and display a meaningful error message (so it still won't work if you start it from the wrong directory, but it will at least tell you what's wrong and how to fix it instead of throwing a confusing exception).

Pacquiao joins Binay's party; oath-taking readied
-A A +AFriday, April 13, 2012
MANILA -- The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), led by Vice President Jejomar Binay, is preparing for the swearing in of its latest recruit, Sarangani Representative Manny Pacquiao.
Reports of Pacquiao bolting the majority coalition of congressmen backing President Benigno Aquino III surfaced on Thursday, when the world boxing champion expressed willingness to join Binay's camp after the two met in an event of the Philippine Sportswriting Association (PSA) last month.
But for party president Senator Aquilino Pimentel III, it actually took 10 months for them to finally convince Pacquiao to be part of PDP-Laban, which recently formed an alliance with the camp of former President Joseph Estrada for the 2013 midterm elections.
"We already have a meeting of the minds but we have yet to finalize the schedule of the oath-taking. I cannot say yet if it will happen before he takes on Timothy Bradley this June," Pimentel said, referring to Pacquiao's upcoming defense of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao, who lost his first try in politics in 2007, said he is going to run for governor next year, trading positions with incumbent Governor Miguel Rene Dominguez in deference to a political arrangement last July.
Dominguez is constitutionally barred to contest for a fourth consecutive term.
Pacquiao, who runs the Sarangani-based People's Champ Movement (PCM), will likely hold the position of provincial chairman, Pimentel said, although he "can also be a national officer if he wishes."
Asked of what convinced Pacquiao to choose the party, the senator said, "He likes our ideology and it also helped that his chief of staff (lawyer Franklin Gacal) was a former party lecturer on (PDP-Laban) ideology."
The ruling Liberal Party declined to comment on Pacquiao's political plans but in a text message, party spokesman Deputy Speaker Erin Tañada said, "Pacquiao was not a member of the LP. He was a member of the majority coalition."
Meanwhile, Pimentel clarified that Pacquiao's impending transfer has nothing to do with the government's decision to slap him with contempt charges for failing to present tax-related documents.
"That is not related to the recruitment. We have been asking him to join us for some 10 months already," he told Sun.Star.
Pacquiao earlier said he should no longer be taxed for earnings from his fights abroad consistent to the Philippines-United States tax treaty, but Malacañang surmised that the investigation will have something to do with his local endorsements.
There are reports indicating the case is connected to the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona, but the Palace already denied it is going after Pacquiao for his failure to sign the complaint.
This will be Pacquiao's second party after campaigning for losing presidential candidate Senator Manny Villar of the Nacionalista Party in May 2010.
A close ally of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the 33-year-old boxer even committed to join the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi) but snubbed the oath-taking rites in February 2007.
He transferred to the administration a day before Aquino's inauguration as president on June 30, 2010. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

What an exciting weekend. DGS tumbled off a chair and badly bruised his left elbow and had 2 trips to the ER (original then a follow-up for a splint). DD took him to his regular dr and everyone agrees it isn't broken, just badly bruised. They will make follow-up x-rays next week just to be sure, but he will spend at least 2 weeks in the splint. Please keep him in your prayers.

OopS! It left off the explaination. This Guillemot (a sea bird) egg evolved in this shape so it could not roll out of the nest and down the seaside cliffs, where it was laid! Cool!
I'd be curious to know how it did on a sloped surface, but its efficacy on a flat surface is beyond argument!
That's an intelligent design isn't it?
LOL couldn't resist.
An evolution in REVOLUTION, I would say!

This gearmotor is a miniature (0.94" x 0.39" x 0.47"), low-current brushed DC motor with 100:1 metal gearbox, similar to Sanyo's popular 12 mm gearmotors. These units have a 0.365"-long, 3 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft.
Key specs at 6 V: 120 RPM and 40 mA free-run, 12 oz-in (0.9 kg-cm) and 0.36 A stall.
These tiny brushed DC gearmotors are intended for use at 6 V, though in general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 - 9 V range (rotation can start at voltages as low as 0.5 V). Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. The micro metal gearmotors are available in a wide range of gear ratios-from 5:1 up to 1000:1-and offer a choice between three different motors: high-power (HP), medium-power (MP), and standard. With the exception of the 1000:1 gear ratio versions, all of the micro metal gearmotors have the same physical dimensions, so one version can be easily swapped for another if your design requirements change.Some versions of the gearmotors are sold with an additional 1mm-diameter output shaft that protrudes from the rear of the motor. This 4.5mm-long rear shaft rotates at the same speed as the input to the gearbox and offers a way to add a custom-built encoder to provide motor speed or position feedback.Full range of motors available

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.

My name is Cassie #2 (TIP)!
Facts about Cassie #2 (TIP)
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Cassie #2 (TIP)'s Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet adorable Cassie #2!
Cassie #2 and her two siblings, Humphrey and Ruby, were rescued from a high kill shelter by a kind volunteer who just fell in love with these adorable puppies lab mix puppies. Its hard not to, with their fluffy coats and sweet faces.
Cassie #2, is 7 pounds and she is approximately 8 weeks old as of 11/15/2012. They are healthy, happy and playful, and are wonderful with their foster mom's children and other dogs.
Please consider adding one of these adorable pups to your family!
Cassie #2 is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative.
Donation: $450.00 (includes $140.00 transport fee paid directly to USDA approved transport company where applicable).
Interested in adopting this fantastic canine? Please visit our website and complete an online application – we respond much quicker to applications than to emails as we receive a voluminous amount of email each day and it's impossible to respond to all of them in a timely manner even though we try.
Application: http://www.pawsnewengland.com/adoption-form/
An application does not mean you are required to adopt – it just lets us know you are seriously considering this dog for adoption.
PET INSURANCE: Paws New England as recently joined VCA Animal Hospitals in a program providing new adopters with a certificate for an initial health exam at a VCA Hospital and treatment of certain conditions free of charges for the first 5 days. This is a great program and PAWS is thrilled to be participating in for our adopter. There are also numerous other pet insurance programs available to shelter animals.
QUARANTINE: Paws New England participates and abides by the quarantine rules and regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, RI.
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND BOARDED EITHER PRIVATE FOSTER HOMES OR TRAINING FACILITIES. If a dog is listed as "local", he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England.
We are often asked, "Why would you charge 'so much' for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in discounted vet care, and many people will want to adopt it; an older dog with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt him/her. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cassie #2 (TIP), a Barrington Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Barrington, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Barrington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Barrington 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 Barrington 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Barrington paves the way for another one to be saved.

We are building a new home and are choosing appliances. Just decided to switch from full range to gas cooktop and double wall ovens. Don't want to bend over and lift heavy items out of oven repeatedly.
We want open burners, 48 inch and a griddle. If you have a 48 inch gas cooktop, please recommend a brand and why you bought it.
Follow-Up Postings:
Wolf offers semi-open burners on their ranges but only sealed burners on their rangetops.And they are discontinuing their semi-open burner ranges soon. A semi-open burner 48" rangetop that is on the market is Five Star. Also offers grill/griddle option. Like Wolf, Five Star burners are underpowered. A step down in quality vs Wolf but only $2.8k. Your other options are Bluestar RNB and Capital Culinarian. |
Sealed burners but Thermador offers similar power plus extra low burners for less money than the Wolf. You will see some complaints about the cycling feature of the extra low, but from what I've read these complaints are from people who Don't own the Thermador. The Thermador customers that I have like the feature. The Capital is a good choice for open burners. |

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback. We went to the Wolf Showroom today and felt like we were in the appliance mecca. We are going to visit the rep who has Blue Star, Thermador next week- haven't been able to find CC around town. I'll post more then. Happy Thanksgiving!! |

I had been using Plaxo to Synchronize my Google Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2007. But just found out that is will start costing $59 a year to use that feature, so I'm looking for a replacement.
I know about Google Calendar Sync, but need a way to sync the contacts as well. I'd prefer to have a single tool that does both.
Any suggestions?

Editors' Top PicksSee All
The iPod may have killed AM/FM radio for the latest generation of music fans, but the classic version of Apple's ubergadget only lets you listen to your own music collection; there's no hipster DJ introducing you to your new favorite band. Music fans still crave new sounds and personalized Internet radio services such as Pandora and Last.fm have filled the "music discovery" gap by taking note of your music preferences and playing songs they'll think you'll like. Pandora's a great service, but--portable devices notwithstanding--it's not easy to listen to away from your PC, which is where the Livio Radio ($150) comes in. The Livio Radio is the first Wi-Fi radio we've tested that is designed completely around the Pandora service, offering all the standard functions--like "thumbs up/down"--right on the front panel. The gorgeous design is outstanding for the price; it's easy to use and you won't find anything that looks this good until you spend about twice as much. Its competitors will better serve audiophiles and feature-junkies, but the Livio Radio hits the sweet spot for those looking for a simple, great-looking way to add Pandora to a bedroom, kitchen, or living room.
The overall design ethos is a mix between Apple and Tivoli, and even though we're not generally fans of the Apple whitewash look, the Livio Radio pulls it off. The cabinet is made of thick, black textured plastic that gives it a quality feel and doesn't smudge. The front panel is off-white and accented by a layer of clear plastic that gives it a classy glass-like look. The single speaker is behind a silver grille and the right half is dominated by the blue LCD screen with playback controls underneath. The only element that doesn't quite have that high-end feel is the plastic menu/volume knob, but that's our only nitpick on an otherwise outstanding design.
The included remote control is the slim credit-card-style variety; we prefer full-size remotes, but they're not common at this price point. The remote mostly duplicates the front panel controls, although there are some additional functions; we really appreciate the dedicated mute button and the five dedicated preset buttons for quick access to your favorite stations.
