How to give pills to pets
LOS ANGELES -- Giving pills to your pet may be more traumatic for you than the animal, but it doesn't have to be.
No more copay for birth control
WASHINGTON — A half-century after the advent of the pill, the Obama administration Monday ushered in a change in women's health care potentially as transformative: coverage of birth control as prevention, with no copays.

One of the original all-terrain strollers, the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle has 12" air-filled tires, an aluminum frame, a smooth push and is suitable from birth. Whether you navigating the city streets or a trail outdoors, the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle has everything you need.
Receive a FREE black Freerider- the innovative stroller board that converts into a scooter- with purchase!
Material: Buggy & Stroller Board
Brand: Phil & Teds
Origin: Imported
Jack Black, Naomi Watts, and Gwyneth Paltrow all entrust their kids to Phil & Teds strollers. The fact that they're glamorous celebrities means that these durable prams pass the style test. But safety never takes a backseat: Just ask the Oregon woman who watched as a truck veered out of control and hit her 20-month-old's stroller—with no injuries. And the ultra-adaptable design fits two kids in no more space than your typical single stroller.

Lens Of Anarchy - Baltimore City Paper's Write Up On Qball's Legendary Photography Of Biker Culture
Damn stoked to see our good buddy Qball made the cover of the Baltimore City Paper a couple years back. He has worked his ass off to become the great photographer that he is and has the journal entries of stories mentally logged to talk on at any given time. If you ever get a chance to see Qball at a run, rally or just milling about waiting for miscreants to enter stage right, shoot the shit with him as he is as genuine as they come and most of all is a true rider.

The Selvedge Yard Reviews "Living The Life"
The Selvedge Yard (A historical record of artistry, anarchy, alchemy & authenticity)
"Q-Ball's images make you feel like a fly on the wall– knee deep in the mud, the blood, and the beer. And Sorez's biker poetry throttles, brakes, and pulls no punches. Together they create a 2%er's masterpiece that is truly one of a kind."

[923] Ureteral and Urethral Margin Status in Radical Cystectomy Specimens
Zuzana Kos, Farshid Siadat, Eric C Belanger, Bich N Nguyen, Kien T Mai. The Ottawa Hospital and University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Background: The status of ureteral and urethral resection margins in radical cystectomy specimens, performed for urothelial carcinoma, is a source of consternation for surgeons and pathologists alike. We correlated margin status with preoperative patient factors and postoperative outcome.
Design: Consecutive radical/total cystectomy specimens for urothelial carcinoma (UC) along with the associated clinical charts were reviewed.
Results: A total of 91 specimens (Male[M]/Female[F]:76/15) were reviewed. The ureters, urethra and their respective resection margins were assessed for both in situ and invasive UC. At least one ureter was involved by in situ UC (ISUC) in 23 cases, and invasive UC in 4 cases. At least one ureteral resection margin (not including subsequent ureteral resections) was involved by ISUC in 5 cases. No invasive UC was present at any of the ureteral margins. The urethra was involved by ISUC in 36 cases, and invasive UC in 21 cases. The urethral resection margin was positive for ISUC in 5 cases and invasive UC in 2 cases.
There were 41 (M/F:38/3) specimens with involvement of either the ureter, urethra or both by in situ or invasive UC, and 8 (M/F:7/1) specimens with either ureteral, urethral or both resection margin involvement.
Of the 41 patients with ureteral/urethral involvement: a) 25 had a history of low grade UC for at least 3 years (mean: 4.5 yrs), with multiple recurrences and resections, including BCG/radiation and chemotherapy in 18 patients. 10 patients subsequently developed high grade UC and 15 patients showed focal to extensive squamous differentiation; b) 9 patients had ISUC resistant to BCG treatment for at least 2 years (mean: 3.5 yrs); and c) 7 patients had no available history.
Of 8 patients with positive resection margins, the 5 patients with positive ureteral margins (all in situ disease), regardless of the status of the urethral margin, were associated with high-stage disease (lymph node metastases in 3 cases) and death due to disease in 0-2 years in 3 patients. The 3 patients with only a positive urethral resection margin, (2 invasive and 1 in situ) had no associated perivesicular tumour extension or lymph node metastasis, and were alive for 1-3 years of follow up.
Conclusions: Patients undergoing radical cystectomy for UC were more likely to have positive ureteral (+/-urethral) resection margins following a protracted history of recurrent low grade UC with multiple resections and presented with advanced stage at radical cystectomy. Cases with only positive urethral resection margins were associated with better clinical outcome.

text: 5 Superb!Posted: 16/09/2011I purchased the Sony ZX300 headphones for use in the home and at college. The headphones look amazing, are light and have been rugged enough to survive being thrown around whilst inside my bag. They are comfortable both on my head and around my neck-one can easily listen to them for hours without feeling any discomfort. The sound quality is better than the Skullcandy Hesh SCS6HEBZ-FB Headphones I also own. The bass is clear: it doesn't sound cheap or distorted, even at loud volumes. I cannot believe they only cost 16.99-for this price they were an incredible purchase. Excellent headphones, could easily retail around the 50 pound mark as they sound that good!

Afonso III
Afonso III
biographical name(born May 5, 1210, Coimbra, Port.died Feb. 16, 1279, Lisbon) King of Portugal (1248–79). He emigrated to France and became, by marriage, count of Boulogne. He gained the Portuguese crown when his older brother Sancho II was deposed by order of the pope. As king, Afonso regained control of the district of Faro (1249) and completed the reconquest of the Algarve from the Muslims. His reign saw the first admission of commoners to the Portuguese Cortes (parliament). Afonso's assertion of the royal right to repossess church lands led to his excommunication by the pope.

This is the second evaluation guide in the Effective Interventions Unit Evaluation series. This guide aims to explain the planning stage of an evaluation by describing the steps necessary in planning both an intervention and an associated evaluation, identifying some general questions to address when planning an intervention, and outlining some questions that evaluations commonly tackle.
To help illustrate the main points in this guide, an example of a fictitious outreach needle exchange service is used.
Regulations covering services for children and young people up to the age of 16 years which are to be regulated under the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001.
Applicable to services in public, private and voluntary sectors, and in domestic or non-domestic premises which provide services for over two hours a day and for six days or more each year.
This guide has been reduced to help people involved in putting the NICE guideline on schizophrenia into practice. It highlights a selection of resources available from NICE, government and other organisations. These resources are intended to provide an overview of information directly related to the guideline, not an exhaustive list. It should be noted that many of the documents and resources listed were published before the NICE guideline on schizophrenia.
Guide that reports on the first phase of the Action on Health Visiting programme and sets out the next steps for the future. It is intended as a handbook for health visitors and their teams, provider managers, commissioners, educationalists and everyone who has an interest in providing a public health programme for children and families.
Guide produced by SWIA to enable local authority social work services to undertake self-evaluations in order to improve service performance and outcomes for those who use services.

Husband and I are debating best way to finish the siding job on our 1840 house. We are having a carpenter re-side with pre-primed clapboards and stainless steel nails. Question. Should we set the nails and putty or caulk over each one before we prime and paint? Or just leave them and prime and paint? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Aren't the nails covered by the next row of clapboards? And the siding nails of which I know have large heads that cannot be set like finish nails. Plus, the whole reason for using SS nails is to prevent rusting and rust staine---no need to treat/cover. |
If your carpenter knows what he is doing, other than the top row, you should not see nails. He nails at the top of of the siding then the next row covers those nails. The top row, he should countersink SS screws (so you dont see nail pops) then use a 30+ year caulk to cover the screws before painting. |
1/2 x 6 wood clapboards are not normally blind-nailed because if the exposure is greater than 3 inches it is assumed that they will cup, however, even though I have been designing homes in New England for 40 years, I have never seen clapboards blind-nailed and wouldn't allow that method on my projects. Stainless-steel 5d or 6d ring-shank siding nails (with very small cross-hatched heads) should be placed just above the butt line in the thickest part of the clapboard and hammered so they are perfectly flush with the finished clapboard without dimpling the wood (no nail guns). Some carpenters sink them a slight bit and then the painter putties them but I think it's a substitute for poor carpentry skill. |
Thanks for the responses. Macv- We did this job ourselves on another part of the house three years ago. We used SS screws and counter-sunk and puttied each one. We also used "rain slicker" under the clapboards and made sure that there was as little space for caulking as possible. None of these "niceties" were mentioned by the carpenter. I was willing to pay him on an hourly basis to do the job the way we wanted but husband was afraid of taking him out of his comfort zone. We find it very difficult to find a tradesman who is willing to take the time to really do the job right. I fear they have been conditioned by society as a whole to get in, get the job done and get out. 99% of clients wouldn't know the difference or care to pay for it. By the way, we are in New England also (south shore of Boston). |
I know some carpenters who would do it right without any instructions and quickly but they might charge too much per hour. I assure you they would not blind-nail clapboards in this climate nor would they use screws. They would also tell you that putty is a job for a painter, not a carpenter. |
We screw because we are amateurs (even after working on an old house for 25 years) and we invariably have to remove something and screws are easier to remove and replace than nails. I understand the puttying is the job of the painter (us!). I guess what I don't understand is if the carpenter quotes you $50 an hour and you accept, what difference does it make to him how long it takes as long as you are willing to keep paying. I know I am ranting here and perhaps we haven't spent enough time interviewing carpenters and when we ask people for recommendations they are as not as picky consumers as we are but I feel destined to work on this house for the rest of my born days because no one else will ever do a good enough job to satisfy us. And we can't let it go. Wah, wah, wah . Thanks for listening. |
Installing siding isn't a difficult task for a carpenter unless he's trying to do it by himself from a ladder like a handyman. I'll ask some carpenters if they will work for that rate on the South Shore. |

In the 2001 film Rock Star, the lead singer of a small-town tribute band wins a contest to join his favorite band. The movie's plot was inspired by the real-life story of cover-band crooner Tim "Ripper" Owens, who was chosen by Judas Priest in 1996 to replace singer Rob Halford. If director Brett Ratner had his way, he'd use a similar template for a film...based on the Guitar Hero franchise.
Ratner, who was recently tapped to direct the big-screen version of God of War, told MTV this week about his burning yearning to make a film inspired by Activision's billion-dollar franchise. "I would love to do a Guitar Hero movie, if Activision would ever let me," chimed the Rush Hour and X-Men 3 helmer. "I'm trying to convince them...It could be about a kid from a small town who dreams of being a rock star and he wins the Guitar Hero competition. One of these dreams-[come-true] kind of concepts."
The filmmaker also told MTV his branding company, Brett Ratner Brands, helped Activision choose the name for Guitar Hero World Tour. "For instance, naming Guitar Hero: World Tour, coming up with the new Guitar Hero game name. It's sort of like [MTV's] Rock Band. So they said: 'Come up with a name.' And I did, and it became Guitar Hero: World Tour." Ratner has also included Guitar Hero in several music videos he directed, including Miley Cyrus' "7 Things."

The Upper Canada Cyclones AAA minor bantam team were recently named AAA Playoff Champions for 2010-2011 after defeating the Eastern Ontario Wild AAA in the final round.
The Cyclones ended the season in third place behind the Wild and the Ottawa Senators. The Cyclones easily handled the Senators team in the first round of playoffs, defeating them 6-2, 4-1, 2-0 and 6-2. The Cyclones lost only one game in this series, 3-2.
The Cyclones were ready for the Wild and came out full force winning the opener 5-2. It was all the Cyclones from there on as they defeated the Wild 6-3 and 3-2. With the fourth game looming, the Cyclones needed only a tie to win the series and they waited until 20 seconds in the third period, with a player in the penalty box, to score the goal, tie the game, win the series and be named "Playoff Champions".
The Cyclones draw players from numerous associations throughout the Ottawa Valley and members of this team were from Brockville, Prescott, Iroquois, Long Sault, Richmond, Metcalfe and Smiths Falls.
Pictured above are team members. Front row (l-r): Andrew Caicco, Quinn Wichers, Geoffrey Lawson, Jordan Johnson (Assistant Coach), Bruce Johnson (Head Coach), Shane Woolsey, Junau St. Germain, Aidan Ethier. Second row (l-r): Bruce Doef (trainer), Bobbi-Jean Doef (Co-manager), Bradley Reed , Cory Morrell, Matthew Noory, Chris Galea, Zachary Brant, Evan Mantha, Sarah Lawson (Co-manager). Third row (l-r): Tyson Kirkby, Neil Doef, Samuel Tremblay, Scott Hope, Cole Haggar, Zach Shankar.

About us
The "Hellenic Petroleum Marketing Companies Association" (SEEPE) has been operating since 1977 and represents 12 Petroleum Marketing Companies that distribute 90% of liquid fuels and other oil products of our Country and that employee, directly or indirectly, dozens of thousands of employees.
Association's mission is the development of positions and the handling of issues referring to the smooth operation of the Oil Industry in Greece. The Association contributes with constructive and specialized advice and suggestions to organizations and the State.
The main purpose of the Association is to inform its members of proposed changes in the legislation and to help form and advocate the industry's position.
Sales volumes in the Domestic and International Market for the period 2009 - 2013.
The total sales volumes of petroleum fuels in the quinquennium 2009-2013 have decreased by 36,49%.
The sales in the Domestic Market have decreased by 41,59%, while the sales in the International Market have decreased by 23,92%.
More specifically:
Ø Domestic Market Sales
Automotive diesel has dropped by 33,13%.
Of course, the unknown factor regarding Diesel Oil is the quantity of Heating Oil used illegally as Automotive Diesel Oil.
Ø International Market Sales
More specifically, Marine Gasoil was reduced by 20,74%, while Fuel Oil was reduced by 27,19%.
The total reduction in the International Market sales was 23,92%.
The significant decrease in Fuels is mainly caused by the adverse economic circumstances, the increase in international platts oil prices and predominantly by the great increase in the excise duties and VAT.
Generally, the economic crisis and the austerity measures (intense recession, unemployment, additional taxation) have a negative effect on Industry sales.

Dating While My Daughter is Watching!
By Andrea Oden
Today I decided to teach my daughter a lesson – a life lesson, indeed. You see, I've been divorced for three years. Since the divorce my daughter has spent every other weekend with her dad. This has given her the much needed time with her father and has also given me the much needed time to be a single woman. I have slowly learned to love myself again; I've learned how to live with my glorious imperfections and also I've learned to date after 40. And dating after 40 is a trip. It's very different from what I knew in my twenties. Over the course of the last three years I've dated three very different men. One man traveled nearly nine months out of the year. Therefore, the time we spent together didn't really involve my daughter very much.
Man number two had issues. Now I won't bore you with the details but I will say I quickly realized he didn't deserve the pleasure of my daughter's presence. We only dated a few months so, while he met Ashley*, he didn't spend much time with her, other than an occasional visit with us to our church.
This leads me to man number three. He's the one I've fallen quite hard for. He's the one I'm excited to unwrap a future with. He's met Ashley and has had dinner with us on three separate occasions. We've been dating for about four months now and have uttered those three magic words… "You want breakfast?" (Just kidding)
For the last few months when my daughter visits her father, I've raced across town to be with a wonderful man. Things were moving along splendidly until the unthinkable happened… Ashley's father cancelled!
Yep, life happened and he was unable to spend weekends with her. He didn't know when he would be able to return to the weekend schedule. Never did I even imagine such a thing could happen. I was traumatized. What would I do now? How do I date when I have my daughter every weekend? For the past four months my man and I have been living in a protective little bubble, just the two of us. What happens now?
I was devastated that I didn't have a Plan B. I can't send my daughter to a relative's house every weekend. I can't schedule play dates for her every weekend. In sheer horror I realized, I may never have sex again. I may never wake up at noon from a night of talking, cooing and cuddling. I would never spend another beautiful evening listing to oldies with a man nibbling at my neck.
For the next three days I tossed and turned and prayed and hoped. "Oh God, please let Ashley's father change his mind. Let him figure out whatever problem he has and call to say he's changed his mind."

Investing in green jobs, reducing carbon emissions and ensuring a sustainable future for Welsh communities should not become 'an easy target' in tough times – especially as investing in sustainable solutions can help support Wales' economic recovery, a leading Cardiff University expert will argue this week.Professor Terry Marsden – Director of Cardiff University's new Sustainable Place Research Institute and a leading expert in sustainable development, will warn of the dangers of making sustainable development 'an easy target' ahead of the UK Government's comprehensive spending review.
"We must be smarter and find new ways of working when funding cuts loom" Professor Marsden will say. "Wales remains one of only a handful of countries in the world to have a statutory duty to consider sustainable development. "Whilst it's tempting to see sustainable development as a luxury – especially when finances are tight, cutting funding for sustainable projects is not the way to support or help support our long-term economic economy and ensure a sustainable future for communities across Wales," he added.Professor Marsden's warning comes as Cardiff University launches its new Sustainable Places Research Institute.The Research Institute brings together world-leading researchers – and has been designed to focus on sustainable solutions for all parts of the world - including Wales.Experts from across the University will be working on creating comprehensive solutions by combining experts in buildings, energy systems, communities, the natural environment, infrastructure, health and policy-making – who often work in isolation elsewhere.His call follows the UK Government's decision to withdraw funding for the Sustainable Development Commission – the sustainable development watchdog.Professor Marsden will say: "The Sustainable Development Commission has played a crucial role in helping Government departments work together to tackle the triple threats of climate change, economic downturn and inequality - as well as keeping a critical check on progress."Everybody knows we are facing a heavy deficit, and we should not be too prescriptive about how the Government deals with it. There remains an ever increasing need to develop expertise and collaboration between sustainability scientists and policy makers – as we move forward in these challenging times."We really do have an opportunity to do things differently in Wales. The creation of the new Research Institute means we can look to work with AMs and Welsh MPs to continue to help improve intergenerational life chances and help create sustainable places."-Ends-

Re:I Disagree. (179 comments)
Get real, MP's vote for their manifesto and act to further their political careers. They will help with issues that don't conflict with those two aims. That won't change, no matter how many emails you send. And not being ignored doesn't mean I got the result I wanted in all cases. I'm no th eonly person in the constituency and there are conflicting issues. In those cases you have to get involved and campaign to change the political landscape and again simply filling an inbox with emails will not do that.
Re:I Disagree. (179 comments)
As to your point about noticing them in a group, how do you know that a personal approach would not have worked much better, my dealing with my MPs (Charles Kennedy and then Danny Alexander) have always yielded good results within a few days. I've never been ignored.
Re:I Disagree. (179 comments)
You fill out the form once and the lobby firm sends repeated emails. "you have to ask why voters are having to do this to be noticed". Voters don't have to do this, it just seems an easy way to have influence. But real influence takes time and work. This MP was interviewed last night with a representative of the lobby group. The lobbiest had polled his members in the MP's constituency and the majority wanted the group to keep emailing the MP. So the (majority of) 400 members (read self selected) of the group in that constituency want to flood the MP's inbox at the expense of the 50,000 other voters in the contituency who comunicate directly. If I was the MP I would have just routed the emails to the deleted items folder
I Disagree. (179 comments)
If you actually care about your politics or campaign, then write to your MP direct. Simply filling in a form and spamming MP's simply stops the people who do care from communicating with their MP. Taking your argument to its logical conclusion, we should just have an arms race between different lobby groups who would automatically send every MP a million emails a day just to show how much we care about an issue.

Yes, I tend to agree. Otherwise a proprietary application running on GNU/linux would have to be GPL'ed as soon as it supplies a callback function to the OS.

If I remember correctly, things may have changed, C++ is supposed to be implemented as a precompiler for C. Which means that for a new system you need only need to transfer the precompiled output (C) and then put it through a bootstrap C compiler on the new system. As I say things may have changed.
Re:Good news, but... (157 comments)
I seem to remember that this is the kind of size for a first human study. I guess this is to make sure that the patients didn't die / develop cancer / turn into zombies. The more detailed studies will happen, but I think when you get to the human trial stage, the ethical considerations suggest a small group.
A fundamental problem with his argument (733 comments)
"One obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game. It has rules, points, objectives, and an outcome. Santiago might cite a immersive game without points or rules, but I would say then it ceases to be a game and becomes a representation of a story, a novel, a play, dance, a film. Those are things you cannot win; you can only experience them."
There are a couple of major problems with this paragraph.
1. The is an implied assuption that if you can win at something then it cannot be art, an assuption that he provides no evidence for. Why cannot winnable games be art? I've frequently heard the term "poetry in motion" applied to sports people. Prior to Duchamp, found art was not art. How about conceptual art? Was that art a hundred years ago? Art is a moving target and in some cases it is perfectly reasonable for a piece to be art for one group of people but not for another group. A personal piece fro the artist to a friend for instance.
The blanket assertion that anything winnable cannot be art fails due its breadth.
2. He is using the term "game" in two different ways so that there is a generalised "Computer Game" inclusive of immersive games, and then the subset of games which excludes imersive games which then become representations of Films, novels etc.
Here he shows the flaw in his argument by effectively claiming that anything that can be considered art cannot be a game and anything he considers a game cannot be art.
He has decided the result before a ball has been kicked:-)

Re:Well that's a bit odd, I think. (102 comments)
The human brain is quite remarkable in its ability to justify its own actions to itself. "Group think" plays its part in situations like this, "all the other guys are doing it so it must be ok". How somebody responds to authority can also be important. "My boss said it's perfectly legal". And finally you may have the "Lets give Henry Kissenger the Nobel Peace Prize" type of meme coming in from families or friends. "You are really good to you sick mother you're a very nice person". With enough reinforment in various forms you can get people to do pretty much anything

Companies have to act to protect their trademarks or they may lose them, it is known as genericization. Ironically, Google has this problem with people using the term "Googling"

at the moment this is just a FEELER!
i have a set of OME 885 front springs that are already installed on OME Nitro shocks with the 1/2" top plate spacer. these are completely assembled and ready to bolt in and go. also if i can round up all the small pieces possibly a diff drop as well for free. this setup was mounted and run on my truck for approximately 1,000 miles and then removed. they have been sitting in my shop since then.
if your interested let me know.. again at the moment this is just a feeler but most likely i will sell if there is interest at the asking price.
and again these are preassembled, you could have the front of your truck lifted in about 30 mins easy.
edit... these will fit 05-present 4wd tacomas and prerunners.

A college bound student has many transitions to navigate including adjusting to college life, succeeding academically, and making new friends coupled with balancing their need for connection to family and their new found independence. Siblings of college bound students face adjustments as well.
Teenage siblings can become close; sharing interests and activities, having similar tastes in music and television shows, and negotiating the sharing of household space.
Colleges and universities have seemingly endless resources for students entering college. However, other family members - younger siblings - are often ignored during this potentially huge upheaval, even though their own separation anxiety can be intense.
Encourage siblings to send text messages, e-mails, phone calls, etc to share their lives with one another. If you send care packages, be sure to include notes from younger siblings.
Take the younger sibling to MSU to spend the night or the weekend (please check with your student's roommate first). Family Weekend is the great time to visit Minnesota State.

We all knew the next Tomb Raider would be different, but until I saw this reimagining for myself at the E3 show, I truly wasn't prepared for just how different.
Crystal Dynamics hasn't merely made Lara Croft younger, they've made her – for the first time – vulnerable. This is no self-assured, strong-willed superhero. This is no sexy British badass. This is a scared young girl who's in way over her head, who must nervously talk herself through dangerous situations, who desperately seeks the help of other survivors and who won't escape this adventure without bleeding, bruising and a lot of painfully broken bones. Does that make her weak? No, it makes her relatable, believable and extremely likable. It seems strange to say about a character who's been around for 15 years, but Lara Croft might be the best "new" hero of 2012.
In the video above, I talk to Brian Horton – Senior Art Director for Tomb Raider – about how the reboot was conceived, and how he expects it to be received by loyal longtime fans.

Patch 3.2 brings some Hunter love {WoW}
Jun 19th 2009 10:34AM While I agree not all of the changes are ideal. But as Brig….errr Eddie has said before, we (hunters) will find a way to adapt. Who knows, maybe we were spoiled by the BM buff of TBC and now having to actually work for our DPS annoys some. I see it more as a new policy handed down by corporate and we have to make it work. Of course not everybody is going to be happy about it but until Blizz takes our bows/guns and pets and gives us a sling shot and a pet rock, I'm sure hunters will find a way to maintain. (besides, I have always wanted to put a frost trap down and an immolating trap (hadn't thought of the snake trap but that sounds like fun too), that potentially some nice DPS to help us burn stuff a bit faster, granted, I don't know how easy it will be but it does sound like fun

Jun 11th 2009 4:13PM Hey,
I recently started paying attention to ilevel (with Ulduar). Honestly, I think BC upgrades were easier to follow. Then with WotLK, and the mad dash to 80, some of the instance drops were pretty good and clear, at least in my case. Then came Naxx; cake. Clear upgrades. Ulduar on the otherhand has given me headaches in trying to figure out what's the best upgrade. You might think some tier gear would be better than an item off of one of the earlier bosses, nope. at least not in my case. And I'm pretty sure I recall GC saying that's the way they wanted it.
Sure something's are clear upgrades but once you are doing Ulduar consistently, all bets are off.

Friday night, a little after 7 p.m., my granddaughter called me. She had just left her school in Mesa where she is a teacher and discovered that she had a flat tire. She managed to drive her vehicle to a nearby mini-mart/gas station but couldn't release the spare tire. She is a do-it- yourself kind of person so I knew she was really frustrated to have even called me for help. Once I arrived and saw the situation, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to physically help her either. As we were discussing the problem in the mini-mart, two very kind customers happened to overhear us and they offered assistance. They wouldn't take anything but our verbal thanks and appreciation. In talking with them, I learned that they work for Elite Mobile Auto Detail and had just stopped for a snack. Jose and Edgar are true gentlemen. I don't have a huge need for auto detailing, but when I do, I'll absolutely use them.

The Council is investing almost £2 million in four key areas during 2011/12 as a direct response to priorities flagged up by residents in last autumn's Budget Consultation and to try and reduce future maintenance costs.
Environmental street scene improvements, road and pothole maintenance, anti social behaviour initiatives and support for local businesses will all benefit on top of the £3 million announced last year.
The money will be spent on the following:
Road Rescue|: Building on the £2.9 million campaign announced a year ago a further £300,000 is being invested in more re-surfacing and maintenance works plus an additional £150,000 for pothole repairs.
Smart Streets:| More than £1 million is being spent on environmental street scene improvements including painting lamp posts and additional street cleaning.
Safer Communities|: Around £160,000 will be used to work on initiatives to prevent anti social behaviour, improve community facilities and promote neighbourhood safety.
Boosting Business|: Building on the Council's previously announced £1 million Recession Fund an additional £300,000 is being spent on initiatives supporting local businesses and jobs.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" has another wannabe singer on the loose!
Joining Kim Zolciak in her dreams of singing super-stardom is Sheree Whitfield, who just released her debut single "Who Gon' Check Me Boo?" on iTunes.
The title is one of Sheree's catchphrases from her blowout with a party planner last season -- and lyrics like "Before you say anything else to me, go and fix your grill" are likely pointed at co-star NeNe Leakes.
Sheree is one of many "Housewives" to attempt singing, following in the footsteps of Kim, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Melissa Gorga, Michaele Salahi, Kandi Burruss and Gretchen Rossi.
What do you think? Sound off below.

OH. MY. GOD..........really? Cant stand her anyways, but this is laughable!

Why do all the real housewives think they can sing. The only real singer in the bunch is candi. The rest are wannabies
andre`: 1138 days ago
She just want money because she is broke. Who in their right mind would like this. She is trash. Got a nerve to talk about someone, and she looks just like a man. Hot mess. Please sit down Sheree and have your mother cosigned for you to get another house or car. She thinks she is so young, but looks like a old fool.

Ok i agree with most of what was written in this article except lumping Kandi Burress in with the other "singers". Kandi is the only one who can sing beautifully & who has the credentials to back it up. Leave Kandi alone! She is one of the few sane one of the lot of them!!

My daughter (9 yr old) has had an on and off battle with lice since February. I thought we had it whipped, but guess what? They're back! I had used hot water (and high heat in dryer), but have since switched to Tide Coldwater (fresh scent - I love it!). So I guess that I need to buy some all temperature detergent so I can re-treat all of her clothing, bedding, etc, right? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You will need more information than you'll get here. 130F for five minutes min. is required to kill lice and nits. However there's much more you need to know. Google "head lice treatment" or go here: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Head lice treatment info
On the detergent question -- I think you can use the Tide Coldwater with hot water washes. It's been formulated to work on grease and other tough stains in cold water -- i.e. get out tough stains DESPITE the fact that you're using cold water -- but there's nothing that says you can't use it in warm or hot water. From the FAQs on the Tide website: Q: What happens if I use warm water by mistake? |
Take some advice from a doctor: forget the laundry and focus on your daughter's head. That's "where the money is" as far as the lice are concerned. Go ahead and wash her sheets, but nothing else. Contrary to popular myth, lice do not jump off heads and lie lurking on furniture or bedding hoping to pick up a new host. They just don't move well on anything but human hair; leaving for anything other than another head would be a very poor gamble. The two main reasons why kids get recurrent head lice are that live nits have been left in the hair, or that the kids were reinfested by putting their heads together at school or camp. There was a study done looking at bedding of 20 people with untreated head lice -- only one immature bug was found on a single pillowcase; everything else was free of lice. (The immature ones don't grip hair as efficiently as adult bugs, so apparently one fell off). Also, the nits need the warmth of the scalp to hatch, and they're firmly glued to the hair -- they won't just fall off and hatch in your house. My two daughters had lice at the same time. I got rid of them in 10 days by shampooing with nix, then combing for nits every day with a metal lice comb (I used Licemeister -- the best metal comb -- a good 45 minutes per head per day), then re-shampooing after 10 days. The bugs were clearly somewhat resistant to nix, so I think without the combing we would have had problems. I continued to comb for about 5 minutes each twice a week for a month after that to make sure there were no new bugs. (With the lifecycle of lice, if you have missed nits you will have a noticeable new population after about a month.) For a nontoxic alternative to Nix, check out Nuvo for Headlice -- wasn't around when my kids had it, but it seems to work. I would use it in conjuction with combing, however. Also check out www.headlice,org for a video demonstrating how to comb thoroughly. Also for comic relief and some very good info, check out this article from the Atlantic Monthly: http://www.theatlantic.com/past/issues/2003/01/orourke.htm Good luck! |
I agree with kgiov. You don't need to kill eggs. egss that are not attached to the hair on the head are not going to hatch. they are not the problem. The ONLY eggs you have to worry about are those within 1/2 or less inch of scalp currently attached to your child's hair. If you have a caucasion girl in school betwen 4-12 years old they are prime target for head lice. First keep in mind that head lice do NOT transmitt diseases, they do NOT infest homes like bedbugs do so you want to be caeful and AVOID any pesticide, especially pesticide shampoos. The best and safest methid is patient machanical removal. that means an eXCELLENT proper metalic lice comb, and a $50 investment in a good florescent (much cooler) large mangifying lamp, a comfortable chair with perhaps a dvd for your kid to watch while you spend four one hour sessions every four days to remove any eggs and live lice. http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Fluorescent-Magnifier-Lamp/dp/B0002V2F7S/ |

The only things that are likely to carry adult lice from one person to another are hair care instruments (brushes and combs), hats, headphones, sports helmets (batting helmets especially), and hair decorations like headbands, pony tail holders and fancy barrettes. Teach her to not share these things! Head lice don't live long off the body - time reported is 2-7 days. Anything that's been in storage for a week - even if it's just sitting in the linen closet - is really unlikely to be infested. it's the HEAD and the HAIR that need careful attention. And let all her classmates and friends and playmates parents know. Either someone is re-infesting your daughter's head or you never got 100% clear of them. It only takes 2 missed nits and the cycle starts over. |
@ kgiov << Also for comic relief and some very good info, check out this article from the Atlantic Monthly: http://www.theatlantic.com/past/issues/2003/01/orourke.htm >> Hysterical! Thanks for sharing. We went through an infestation about 4 years ago. I just saw a few nits and 2 black dots in my daughter's hair and a 2 nits on my son. I am treating all of us like it's an infestation so that it doesn't BECOME one! The things that worked best for us last time were: AND We couldn't find Dippity-Do, but we found a similar product at Rite-Aid (although I've seen it at Walmart, too) called La bella Styling Gel. It's in a tub and is light yellow color. We used the "Ultimate Hold" type. We parted the hair in little sections, saturating the roots first. [After the La bella, we used mayonnaise, too, "just to be safe." But, we won't do that again. The mayo melted once warm on the head and dripped.] Once we were done with the saturation, we combed the hair up at all the hairlines, and wrapped the head tightly with a great plastic wrap called Press 'N Seal, with the sticky side IN, pressing out the air bubbles as we went. Without a pillow (so they wouldn't slip down and pull off the plastic wrap), we lay them down on their bed on top of a towel for the night. [I've heard to leave the head wrapped "12-24 hours" since then. We'll probably do 12-14 hours tonight.] This did the trick. We wished we had done this (without the mayonnaise) and used the Robi Comb during from the beginning, as the Nix didn't do anything anyway. HTH |
"It only takes 2 missed nits and the cycle starts over." Therein might lie the problem. A friend who teaches in the local public schools tells me that they can no longer do anything, when they see nits on a child. They cannot report it to the school authorities; only lice themselves are reportable. |
Several years ago, my young daughter caught these too. Funny thing is, I never got them. It's funny because my daughter and I always have our heads together. Unlike my daughter, I blow dry my hair every single day. I have always wondered if this prevented them from thriving and have further wondered if putting a child under a hair dryer for 30-60 minutes might work (didn't think of this until too late to try)... For us, we eventually had to get a prescription shampoo - nothing else worked over the several month battle we had. My daughter has very long, very thin/fine hair (just like mine) - and short of shaving her head (if she was a boy, I would have done that!), I finally went to the Dr. for help. |
Well, I hope the OP finally got rid of her pesky problem. I, like jeri, had to result to a strong prescription from the pediatrician. They are most definitely resistant to OTC cures. I also agree -- don't waste your time washing sheets and bagging up stuffed animals -- cure what is on the head! Lice are practically immobile off the human head and soon die. |
