Your best friend, companion and greatest listener might be the one who snuggles up with you during a nap, can't wait to take a walk in the afternoon, and gives you big sloppy kisses or purrs when you let them know how much you love them. For those of you have a pet, you know what I'm talking about.
Research has shown time and again that there are positive benefits to having a pet in the home when you're going through a health crisis or dealing with a chronic disease. The positive benefits are true for all age groups, from young children through adults.
Some of the benefits include: decreased level of anxiety and despair, increased feelings of well being, increased social functioning, and increased mental capabilities. In other words, having a pet present can really make a difference in your daily quality of life.
They are a source of comfort and unconditional love; they require nurturing and attention (which takes the focus off of you and on to them for a while). Having a pet can also give you a sense of safety and security. A true companion at any time you might need it!
I would love to hear from those of you who have pets in your life. Share your stories with each other on how having a pet as a cancer survivor has helped you.

The best gift that I received on my recovery from Cancer was my lovely dog, he is just great in every way and certainly has helped me along great. I would not be where I am today only for him. So this is one of the best gifts ever!!
I thank God everyday for my baby boy Buddy he is a bulldog puggle who has pulled me out of very bad depression. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer have had chemo, surgery twice and now dealing with terrible nerve damage. Having buddy to take care of has been a blessing . He forces me to get out of bed and to stop feeling sorry for myself I truly don't believe I could have gone through this without him. He knows I'm not well and comforts me in way that I can't even explain ,I encourage anyone going through this to go and adopt a dog or cat it will be great treatment and help your recovery.
One of the first things I did when I got home after having my last chemo treatments was to get a puppy. I already had 2 wonderful dogs, but I wanted the puppy and I promised him that I would do my very best to stay alive as long as he does. He is so funny and keeps me laughing all the time. He really perked up the two older dogs too. They are little angels that help me on this journey.
During my radiation and chemo for rectal cancer both my miniature Daschunds, Alfa and Romeo, would snuggle up to my lower back to keep me warm and help with healing. They would help me thru the sleepless nights. Always ready with a kiss. They knew where the problem was. They are my happy place.
I have to thank my Pomeranian Brandy for being with me thru my bout with Breast Cancer.
I called her "Nurse Brandy" because she was always by my side. She was very comforting, I would talk to her and sometimes cry and she would give me a kiss like she was telling me I would be ok She is the BEST gift my husband has given me. Mommy Loves her little Sweetheart (Brandy).
My cat is my best friend these days & nights. Intially was told by Oncologist to get rid of cat & litter. I did but after 4 weeks I saw him at the humane shelter deathly ill with upper respiratory problem. I asked to have him back. They were "happy" to do that. He is well again & rescuing me...
8 months ago a little puppy was dropped in front of our house in the scorching louisiana heat, we brought her in and instantly fell in love! i named her Penny and at 23 lbs. and 1 year old she is the absolute joy of our home-jack russell mix- heaven sent ? YES-3 months ago diagnosed with scc of the epiglottis deciding on treatment direction as we speak but i can tell Penny is so loving i just cant believe i feel this way about this pup, she is in our life for a reason!
My 2 ''boys'',Milo the cat and Stitch the chihuahua are MY REASON for living and fighting my ovarian cancer and maybe, not test confirmed yet, leukemia. Despite my medical condition I am living happy everyday !
I feel really lucky... I was going through a very difficult time... I was extremely depressed and scared because for the first time in my life the next day was scarier than the last, life felt like it was too hard to continue on. I had a massive panic attack at my parents house and they called in a crisis team. Thanks to their recommendation along with the encouragement of my therapist I went and got a dog the very next day. I credit my yorkie with saving my life. I had to live every day because she depended on me.... I had to get out of bed because she needed me... I focused on the cute things she did rather than on the things I was worried about. Since then, I have become an entirely new person... I am happy and healthy and I smile every day because my yorkie saved my life and introduced me to a new community of people that I had so much in common with instantly! I am so thankful I was encouraged to get a pet... it was the decision that saved my life.
Undoubtfully my two cats have been my greatest support. They are attuned to my low times and often stay close by me throughout the night when I am having a dark time.
I cannot question their tangible love and supportive wishes for me to keep keeping on.
I rescued an abused beautiful little 7 pound 4 year old Maltese just a year and a half prior to my diagnosis for breast cancer. She was by my side and faithful companion through my entire cancer ordeal. Once successfully in my remission, my fur baby was diagnosed with a neurological problem which prevented her from walking. She became paralyzed and had heart problems. We had to have her put down a couple of weeks ago. It has broken my heart. But in the end, I realize that God gave her to me on loan. We healed each other. By her passing, Muffie knew her job here was done. I'm in remission now. I take comfort in knowing that I gave her the love and caring she needed, just as she gave me in my critical time. Her loss has devastated me so much more than cancer ever could. It is still so fresh. Her memory makes me think of the good times over the bad now.
I have 2 beautiful and loving English Springer spaniels who were by my side every step of the way while I healed from my Bladder cancer surgery and chemo. Without them it would have been very difficult. Their non-stop love and care is irreplaceable.
Cancer for the rich. Wonderful!! Now what about the rest of us who get cancer and as a result are hit hard financially to the point where we have to give our pets up. Yeah - pets may help us through having cancer but cancer does nothing to help us keep our pets.
I have my 3rd renal cancer (in lungs this time). I have a black rabbit age 5, a black lab age 3, and a tabby, age 2. This winter, they have been indoors with me, so they have never let me be sad.
Today I had to put my best friend, Miss Kitty, to sleep after 16 years of devoted love and companionship. It was such a difficult decision because my furry friend had been my source of support and love, and quite frankly I'm not sure what I will do without her. Four years ago I was diagnosised with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Miss Kitty was always there as a source of healing for my aches and pains, a listener when I was feeling frustrated or angry about my situation, or a comforter to give me a rub on the leg, a nudge on the chin or sense of warmth and love as she sat on my lap or slept on my bed every night I will miss her terribly and wonder tonight how I will replace my devoted caregiver. On the days I felt the worse I always knew I was needed by her to take care of her needs and that gave me a sense of purpose and reason to stay positive about why I needed to stay strong and healthy for her. I know it will take awhile to grieve her loss, but in time I know I will find another kitten to fill the void. A pet's unconditional love is a very important aspect of the healing for a cancer patient and/or survivor.
I am undergoing chemotheraphy for breast cancer and my husband is undergoing chemotheraphy for stage IV lymphoma. We worried about being able to take care of our three furry angels in the beginning but have found that without them we would be lost and they would be lost also. We have made it work and thankful for it.
Before my throat cancer and ultimat laryngectomee, we had/have three wonderful cats. One, Midnight is 17 of our years old, Shadow is 7 years old and boots is a spry 3 year old. They would talk and listen to me before the cancer and now I am confined to clicking noises and finger pointing. They are so intelligent it sometimes amazes my wife and me. It is a perfect day to sit in my lounger and a complete lap full of cats. They seem to know that I am different now and take that into consideration when I admonish them to do something. One will allow you to brush her for hours, one wants nothing to do with brushing and the third, because of her age, loves our attention. I never could speak 'cat' before the loss of my voice and I don't need to speak it now. They are truly a pleasure to have.
I have been digianosed with breast cancer12/6/2010 I have two Collies and two shelties they are constantly kissing me and loving me along with my husband It really feels good to know you are loved this much.I feel like they will be helping me heal threw my cancer will be a rough year to go threw but the love of my dogs and husband will help me heal
I have had my terrier mix, Charlie aka "Po-po" for the last 5 years. He has been of such comfort to me during these trying, fearful times...he always senses when I am not up to really paying attention. He lets me know he is there to snuggle with but if I feel that I want to be alone, he seems to truly understand. He just comes by, looks at me with those big eyes, puts his head on me for a quick pat or kiss, and then curls up either next to me or in the same area as where I am, lifting his head once in a while to make sure I'm ok...he knows what to do and senses my feelings. God sent him to me to give me a reason to continue this battle. I dread the day of my demise (multiple myeloma). He is not as independent as he once was, checks on me, looks straight at my face as if to "read" me. At night, he hops in my bed, snuggles, then when I turn the tv off, he knows it is time for sleep, so he gets down and gets on his bed. During the night, he hops in my bed, sits and looks at me, then snuggles again until morning. What pleasure he brings to my otherwise sad life after my diagnosis...he needs me, but I need him more. LOVE THAT DOGGIE!!
I cant say enough about our pets helping us.
As others wrote ,our pets are so special in our time of need.
Everyday my mind thinks what will happen to my dogs if I die? I have a family member that will take them ,but I know with me is best and where they would be happiest. I have to beat this for their sake as well as my own.
my love of and for them helps me to not dwell as often on my cancer. I find that I want to do any and everything I can do or find to win the cancer battle, they need me with them While in the hospital for the pancreatic whipple surgery and recovery stay, my thoughts were about my 2 toy poodles and wanting to hurry and get well to go home to them.. Knowing they were missing me and not understanding why I was gone so long. Wondering if my family were caring for them the way I left instructions.to do.
When I returned home, they stayed always where I was during my recovery. Understanding that I couldnt walk them, or play fetch. I am a widow and live alone they keep me active since I have to care for and play with them,
Im doing chemo and they seem to understand the times Im feeling really fatigued and lay down.to sleep a couple of hours earlier than our usual nap time, my love for them keeps me going
Wife discovered she had Breast Cancer in April 2008 and had a double masectomy in May. During her chemo and radiation treatments, she would be so weak she could not climb into the bed. Gracie, our oldest Great Dane, would lay beside her the whole time. One day after a nasty round of treatments, my wife collapsed on the floor by the bed. Gracie, jumped on the bed and walked over to her side and lowered her head. My wife reached up and gently grabbed her collar. On her own, Gracie understood, she pulled my wife up and into bed. Once my wife got settled in, then Gracie layed down with her back against her leg and Gracie's head on my wife's chest. She waiting till my wife fell asleep before she would sleep. In September of 2008 while my wife was still going through treatments, I get diagnoised with Colon Cancer requiring complete removal. Through all this, our Danes were a source of joy, companionship, and physical help. I would have trouble getting out of a chair after my surgery, my wife still wasn't able to help me, so one of the Dane would let me grab their collar and pull me up. Today, my wife and I are doing great, and we pamper our 3 Great Danes, because they are family to us.
I have prostate cancer, live alone, no living relatives left. However, I have three WONDERFUL PUGS that keep me going on every day. I am so pleased to have them andd they are happy with me. We talk and watch T every day and evening. I could not hold on without their love and care.
We have an 8 month old rat terrier, Merri and believe me she truly is! My husband has had kidney cancer 20 months now. He had his left kidney removed 2/09 and the scans were clear till 12/09. It was back in his liver. Started chemo pill treatment and was shrinking. During this time our son had another rat terrier, Cookie, we would keep from time to time. She died this past May. My husband took it very hard. When she was here she was his buddy and he was hers. We got Merri for both of us but especially for him. What a treat and she truly is a merry little gal!!! Six wks. ago they found a tumor on his spine. He had surgery and will have his 10 treatment this Tuesday. He has some paralysis in both legs and is getting physical therapy. He uses a wheel chair and a walker. Merri is on his lap every time he is in the wheel chair, gives him goodnight and goodmorning kisses. If I'm busy in the house she usually will lie down between his legs when he's in the recliner. He was never a dog lover like I am but Cookie and Merri has given him so much love and attention, he can't help himself now. My opinion they truly are a part of therapy in healing us emotionally
It was great to read your article. It's all very profound and overlooked as a therapy. I use my pet as a therapy dog when counseling people diagnosed with Cancer. A dog engages people through their unconditional acceptance and non-judgmental way. They give empathy freely. We have clients come only on days that my dog is working.
I am a survivor of 6 year now and I owe my recovery a lot to my dog Phoebe. She was the one who as a puppy kept climbing up on to my chest to get close and this is how I discovered I had a lump in my breast. I was told I had Stage 3 and went through months of chemo, then surgery and radiation. Phebs was always there and would wanted to go outside and she pushed me to take her out. I was so sick, but knew she needed attention and forced myself to get up and walk her. Today I remember those walks and all the attention she gave me. I had great support from my husband, friends and especially the Phebs.
What "no name" wrote says it all. Our two dogs have helped me so much through my treatment. They have stayed by my side. I have talked to them and hugged them every day. When I had some problems with passing out after some intense chemo my dear dog Walker would stand by the bathroom door in the middle of the night when I would get up watching to make sure I was okay. He has recently passed on. By coincidence it was on the day of a PET scan I had which showed cancer progression. My buddy is still with me. I know and feel this every day. Dogs and other pets give so much joy to all of us. Our other dog now walks with me down the road every day and continues to stay by my side. He helps me to remain hopeful about the future. I have told him that he is a gift to me as Walker was. He is helping me. Dog lovers tend to all understand the specialness of their wonderful companions.
Because we walked I saw the full moon over the lake.Because we walked I watched him swim, quickly,so smoothly,to get his stick. Again and again.
Because we walked I got to laugh when he stalked the squirrels. Because we walked we learned to trust each other. Because we walked he got to run free with amazings cuts and turns as only a young herding dog can do. Because we walked we talked. Because we walked I saw his happiness in the moment, and I learned. Because we walk I will heal.
My husband & I agonized many times over 18 yrs that we didn't have a cat - our daughter-in-law was highly alergic to them. They have since divorced and I got two kittens. They were the last of the litter to go and brother and sister. I couldn't seperate them at their tender age of 3-1/2 mos. It was the best thing I have ever done, although very expensive initially. My husband suffered a 2nd heart attack and had to undergo quadruple by-pass surgery. He would ask me everyday how they were. I fully believe they assisted him in his recovery when he came home. They were still young and so a delight to watch and play with. I got some leashes and leads and would tie them up outside so that my husband and the kittens would go out to enjoy the warm spring weather (I didn't need to tie him up!). Pets offer joy, warmth, and love to their owners.
This blog caught my eye immediately given my passion for animal companionship and my current process of writing my thesis on companion animal loss. The human-animal bond is very important yet it is only acknowledged on certain levels. It is great to see responses from those who adore their companion animals and that Mayo chose to write about this topic. It needs to be talked about more.
After retiring,the death of my husband, and surviving two cancers,my two mini dachshunds became a true lifeline.Since they are both elderly rescues with very different personalities,they are a source of nonstop love and entertainment.Since I have to walk them 4x times a day,it forces me to get out of the house.They are a blessing,and I adore them.
I had breast cancer (stage 1) in 2008. I recovered rather quickly. But in 2009, I came down with Aml.
And I was in the hospital for 5 months. Honestly, I was more worried about my 2 dogs than myself. It was so hard to go through but now I'm home and with my chow and shepherd. The love and support can not be be matched. I would not be in remission if not for my dogs.
I have a cat who lifted a big rock of stress out of my chest for all the agony I went through. Since then I can not live without my cat. Yes Pets make a big difference in life.
My Dachshund Chewey is a joy, he gives me so much comfort and love. I try to stay strong because we need each other.
I HAD BREAST CANCER SIX YEARS AGO. I HAVE A CAT NAMED SWEETPEA. SHE IS CONSTANT SUPPORT . SHE WAS THERE WHEN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE NOT. IT IS NICE TO CUDDLE WITH HER AND I TALK TO HER EVERYDAY. SHE IS A GREAT HELP TO ME.lorayne
After my diagnosis with breast cancer (which was my third bout of cancer having had surgery for ovarian cancer in 1978 and colon cancer 2001) in 2002, I remember lying down and the dog and two cats came in to be with me. They sensed something was wrong and just stayed with me till I got our of bed. Both animals took an enormous amount of verbal abuse, yet they came back to show me how they loved me. I do not believe that this third bout of cancer could have been accomplished without thme.
I have joked that my cancer memoirs will be entitled "My Dog Saved My Life". My Boxer made me walk every day during chemo, allowing me to get out of the house, get away from my troubles, and keep up my strength. When the bone pain became unbearable, he lay beside me on the floor keeping my legs warm. And when I could not get up, he stood firm while I used his body to steady myself. And when my husband checked out because it was all too hard on him, my Boxer was there with hugs and loves and cuddles.
My two greyhounds gave me company when I was recovering from surgery, and were instrumental in getting me up and walking them again - they're calm dogs so they let me take my time, but I knew I had to do it...I love them dearly!
during treatment for mm Molly came into my life a small white fuffly puppy. She brings me joy and comfort and helps me to enjoy the simple things like playing ball walks in the woods and laying on my bed when I am too tired to do anything else
I have a very independent cat. While she's not a lap cat, she does accompany me wherever I go in the house and is a source of entertainment since you never know what she'll get into next.
The companionship of my cat - a year old, male. has brought an unexpected amount of joy into my life. Through this past year of diagnosis, surgery and treatments, this little creature has given me an amazing amount of comfort, distraction and affection.
When I was going through chemo, Clyde, my black lab would curl up on my lap every afternoon and nap with me. He knew I was sick and needed him there to comfort me. Maybe it was my imagination, but sometimes it even seemed like he was worried about me. Before I was sick our habit was to walk 3 miles every day after work. Both Clyde and Sam (choco lab) encouraged me to walk every day during treatment. It got down to taking an hour to walk a mile, but we went anyway. They have been there every step of the way on my recovery too. I could not be more blessed.
My pomeranian relys on me daily for everything so I have to be alert and in a positive mood because they are so sensitive to everything from moods, to reactions, etc.. He keeps me healthier because we walk daily.
i love my dog.-petee
I have two dogs and a cat and I think they are three of the best things that have ever happened to me. The joy and happiness they bring me are immeasurable. I think that pets add something that nothing else can to our lives and I love mine!
When I come in the door to my awaiting husband, cat and dog, the animals are eager to meet me with nothing but love and excitement, which I can't help but reciprocate immediately, while my husband, though very loving and attentive, is usually preoccupied. Also, when I'm stressed and busy, it's easy to blow off conversation and affection from my husband (though I am generally loving and attentive to him), but no matter how busy, I cannot resist the urge to stop to pet my 8 year old cat, curled up in a ball on the couch when I pass, or the invitation to pet or play with my 1 year old boxer when he rests his face on my lap as I work on an essay. Our pets are a definite highlight in our day to day lives.
My initial therapist felt having a pet was so important to my recovering that he gave me a deadline to get one. I have been dealing with depression for many years, and the last year has been extremely difficult. There were many days that the only reason I smiled is because of my pet. I would highly recommend a pet to anyone suffering from an illness which can becoming isolating.
I know that ever since we rescued our dog May 2010 my blood pressure has gone down enough to get off the medication.
Pets will help reduce stress, give continous affection and companionship, so much of the depression from loneliness can be eliminated. Also helps with physical ailments.

Dog Sled Adventures owner Jim Ouimet got support from most of the Mono County Board of Supervisors Tuesday to work with county staff to find a "bare bones" way to give Ouimet a better living situation.Ouimet's dog sled business is located on county land, under a county lease, off the Casa Diablo Road east of Mammoth Lakes and the S.R. 203/U.S. 395 junction.
The supervisors agreed Tuesday to accelerate efforts to give Ouimet an inexpensive living situation, take another look at an option to pay him for county land "caretaker" responsibilities, work toward a long-term housing situation for Ouimet and his staff, and more.
There was no deadline set for the staff to report back to the supervisors regarding progress on the issues, but Supervisor Larry Johnston, who spearheaded a long discussion about the nine-year Dog Sled Adventures tenure on the land, said he believes it will be "soon."

The most common way of getting around Dubai is by taxi; they are cheap and easy to find. The new Dubai Metro system opened in 2009 and now covers the length of Dubai from Jebel Ali in the south, all the way to the airport, then inland to All Rashidiya. Most of the malls are connected on the central portion of the route. There is a Gold class cabin, and special carriages for women and children. Tickets costs from AED 2. Many hotels offer shuttle bus services for guests as well. Metered taxis are cream coloured, with uniformed drivers. The public bus service covers most areas of the city and its beaches; a monthly period pass as well as a discounted purse pass are available. Routes and bus numbers are posted in both Arabic and English. Small wooden motorboats (abras) cross the creek every few minutes between Bur Dubai and Deira. Cars are the most popular method of transport for locals in the city, and although roads are well-marked and car hire cheap, visitors should think twice about hiring one, as driving standards are erratic and accidents frequent. All accidents must be reported to the police, and chances are good that a visit to the police station will be necessary. Outside the city, signposts are rare.
Electrical current is 220 and 240 volts, 50Hz. The most frequently used plugs are the square three-pin type.
The currency of the United Arab Emirates is the Dirham (AED), which is divided into 100 fils. There are no currency regulations in the UAE and all major currencies are readily exchanged at banks and large hotels. The Dirham is fixed against the US Dollar. The best exchange rates are found at private moneychangers who operate throughout the territory, particularly in the more popular souks (markets) and shopping centres. Most major credit cards are accepted. ATMs are common throughout the UAE. Banking hours are generally Saturday to Thursday from 8am to 1pm, but some are also open between 4pm and 8.30pm.
The International code for the United Arab Emirates is +971. Local mobile phone networks provide wide GSM coverage throughout the country. Guest starter packs, including a SIM card and credit, can be bought on arrival at the airport, providing three months of cellular access. Internet cafes are widely available, and most hotels have high speed internet access. The internet is censored to filter out any material and websites deemed undesirable by the authorities.

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a deal in principle to acquire slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Saturday morning.
The Red Sox have received permission from Major League Baseball to negotiate with Gonzalez on a new contract, the sources said, and Gonzalez's physical examination, one of the last hurdles to the deal, could happen Saturday. The team already has flown in Gonzalez, who had surgery Oct. 20 on his right, non-throwing shoulder to clean up the labrum.
In exchange, the Padres would receive three prospects in pitcher Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and outfielder Reymond Fuentes, according to a baseball source.

six-year, $140 million bid and possibility of a seventh year

The Rangers boosted their offer to Cliff Lee and may well wind up getting him, as Jeff Wilson writes. But at some point, the Texas baseball operations executives involved in this must have asked themselves: Have we lost our minds?
Even the Yankees, with their enormous revenues, are feeling uncomfortable with where these negotiations have gone. History tells us that seven-year deals for pitchers almost never work out, at any age, and yet now the Yankees have made a seven-year offer to Lee, who will throw his first pitch in the 2011 season at age 32.
Lee is an incredible athlete and in great shape and highly regimented in his work ethic, and of course he's been one of the greatest postseason pitchers in the history of baseball. The guy walked 18 batters and struck out 185 last season. All of those factors make you feel good about his chances for pitching well in the immediate future.
But three years ago, he struggled so badly for the Indians that he was sent to the minors. His fastball is typically 91-92 mph, so as he ages and loses velocity, he'll soon drop into the much more hittable 89-90 mph range. His best weapon is his incredible command, and if that suffers just a bit, he will be a very different pitcher. "He has very little margin for error," one talent evaluator said this week. "If he starts to decline, he could go from being great to being average quickly."
If the Yankees sign Lee and he regresses in three years, it would be devastating -- but not debilitating. New York is already looking at the real possibility that Alex Rodriguez will be underperforming in the last years of his career, while making huge dollars -- and if the Yankees sign Lee, they would be committing almost $55 million to a 42-year-old A-Rod and 39-year-old Lee in 2017.
But the Yankees are a money machine, thriving; they can afford that kind of commitment.
Can the Rangers? Does it make sense for them to commit those kinds of dollars to one player?
Well, the answer is complicated.

The Yankees have made a one-year offer to Russell Martin, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News.
ESPN's Buster Olney reported Friday that the Yankees were "taking an aggressive approach" with Martin, but apparently that didn't include going beyond one year. Martin, though, remains under team control through 2012, so even if he signs a one-year pact, his team would have the opportunity to keep him for an additional year. Martin reportedly is leaning towards signing with the Red Sox, but it remains to be seen if the "aggressive approach" by the Yanks will change things.

The exterior door handles are of poor quality; they frequently break or do not offer enough leverage to open the door from the outside.
Problems for specific Jaguar Vanden Plas years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas problems
Exterior Door Handles May Break
Retrofit kit available to replace problematic self-leveling suspension
The rear self-leveling suspension is problematic and very expensive to repair. A retrofit kit is available to convert this suspension back to conventional shock absorbers and springs.
Rattling Noise Due to Failed Upper Front Shock Bushings
The upper bushings on the front shock absorbers are prone to failure and may produce a rattling/jingling noise as the car is driven over bumps.
Front Spindle Replacement Due to Abnormal Wear
The front spindle the wheel bearing is mounted on may wear requiring replacement.
Brake Pedal Stiff Due to Failed ABS Accumulator
The brake pressure accumulator, a component of the antilock brake system, frequently fails. This may cause a stiff brake pedal, forcing the driver to apply excess pedal pressure to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Servicing Front Wheel Bearings to Avoid Excess Play
To avoid excess play and wear problems, the front wheel bearings should be periodically inspected and serviced.
Growling Noise on Deceleration From Rear of Vehicle
A growling noise may be noticed on deceleration from higher speeds. This type of noise is commonly caused by a bearing failure in the rear differential. Replacement of the rear differential is often necessary to correct this problem.

Seymour Set for Sunday
N.E.W. DIRT held their first event of the season at the Seymour Speedway with an open practice day on Sunday April 28 as a shake down for the drivers and the track. After extensive work last fall and the lingering winter, crews only had this past week to work on the track. A total of 59 cars took to the track and positive comments were abundant throughout the day. The sunny 72 degree temps made the track slick over almost right away, but it stayed smooth from top to bottom all day.
Focus now shifts to this Sunday, May 5, when N.E.W. DIRT hosts their 30th Anniversary season opener on the banked 1/3 mile oval at the Seymour Speedway. Pit gates will open at 2 PM and drivers are urged to get to the track early for sign in. All events will be draw/re-draw with the cut off at 4 PM. Racing will start at 5 PM.
All drivers MUST be club members to compete with memberships only $10.00. Pit admission is $18.00 for members and $25.00 for non-members.
The grandstand will open at 3 PM. Admissions are unchanged with adults $10.00, Seniors 55 and over and Students 13-18 $7.00 with kids 12 and under FREE with an adult.
Six divisions will take to the track for the weekly Sunday night programs. Headlining will be the IMCA sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars and Sport Mods. Street Stock and 4 Cylinders help fill the bill and this year, the Fastrack Late Models return to the weekly slot for the firat time in several years. It all adds up to plenty of racing action to close out your weeknds throughout the season.

Something Old: A doll modernized before its time
Thursday, November 15, 2012
This is the time to run out to the grocery store and get a turkey for Thanksgiving. In the early 19th century, the turkey was a wild one, probably killed by a member of the community. If a time machine could bring someone from that era to our Thanksgiving dinner today, there would be very little inside or outside the house that has not changed. Food, communication, transportation, their contents and even toys might now be too complicated and look unfamiliar. Even dolls have been "modernized."

1936 GC/Normal difficulty/Normal aggression
I'm playing as Germany using the superb single player Third Reich Mod made by Gringoesteban, that really does make it a challenge to win as Germany. I have played it several times before, but only reached as far as late-1941, after I started to experience logistical problems and was put on the retreat in several areas by the Red Army. I mainly wasn't able to finish that as I was off to university in that month. But now I hope to play till the bitter end, regardless of what happens.
House Rules:
The rules set down in the mod are:
1) Don't go to war with the USSR until May 1941 at the earliest
2) Only deploy submarines and capital ships in German ports (i.e. not occupied French, Belgium or Dutch ports)
3) Don't go to war until Danzig (which I have abided by)
My own rules are:
1) Don't invade the UK until the USSR has been defeated (I might edit the rule to also allow an attempt to invade when also at war with the Soviet Union)
2) Only invite historical countries into the Axis (i.e. Slovakia, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary & Romania)
3) I can only military control puppet states and Axis minors (as having them as expeditionary forces demands an exacting amount of supplies from Germany)
i) I can only military control Italy if the situation in Africa becomes extremely critical.
4) No reloading.
5) No pausing when responding to any attack or planning a minor attack.
6) ?? Any suggestions are welcome :)
Starting Situation:
I'm currently at 2nd January 1940. I annexed Poland in mid-September 1939, and I plan to do Operation Weserbrung in April 1940 and to invade France anytime on from March 1940, weather permitting.
The inflicted losses so far are:
My military at the moment is composed of:
Army: 50 inf, 52 mot. inf, 7 HQ, 5 l. arm, 1 arm, 3 mount and 1 cal division.
Navy: 39 SS, 6 BC, 6 CA, 11 CL, 6 DD and 3 transports.
Airforce: 19 INT and 9 TAC bombers.
Production: I hope to have 100 mot. inf divisions by early-1941, probably disbanding several of the inf divisions to achieve this. I am also making at least 20 garrisons by early-1941. I have 18 submarine squadrons in production that will be completed in August 1940, with production of these possibly being extended. 2 battlecruisers will be ready in May 1940, with destroyers and light cruisers also in production. I am maintaining an ongoing serial of interceptors, while also making 3 more tactical bombers.
Naval Strategy: As you can probably tell from my navy build, I aim to attack the UK's convoys. This is essentially for flavour, as the UK AI is given plenty of convoys through events in this mod, but I do hope to make some sort of dent in their supply system. These attacks will begin again after France has been taken and all my U-boats have made port in Brest and Bordeaux. However, I do hope to attack a portion of the UK's fleet this month, which is currently stationed in the Mouth of the Thames, with most of the U-boats at my disposal.
Army Strategy: As stated above, I plan to do Operation Weserbrung in April 1940 and to invade France anytime on from March 1940, weather permitting. Then I will invade Yugoslavia and Greece after France has fallen, again weather permitting. After months of recuperation and reorganisation, the USSR will be next with the invasion commencing in May or June 1941.
Airforce Strategy: With the mainstay of the Luftwaffe being interceptors, its role is to defend Germany's industry from Allied bombing. After the fall of France, the tactical bombers will be used alongside the U-boats to sink British convoys, up until 2 weeks before the invasion of the USSR if not longer.
Hopefully all these plans work out, with Operation Barbarossa being the main challenge. :D

Needing some serious Guidance here.
Issue: I had a difference in opinion with an advisor. My post in his thread did not VIOLATE any TOS.. He insinuated that I had "insulted his character" so to speak by a posting of mine, and asked me to refrain from posting in that thread. I tried to reply in that thread, and I even offered an apology, if his perception was that this was a personal attack. I had explained to him it wasn't. Merely a disagreement. I also offered him an apology and very brief explanation in a PM..
He "CENSORED" me and did not let my response post.. Is that fair? It wasn't an attack and an apology was offered, and he shut me down. Isn't that a TOS violation? I understand you guys have a tough job, and believe me I do appreciatte it. But when does an advisor's personal and possibly misinterpretated feelings allow him to censor a member.
I know you hate getting these types of messages and I'm sorry, but it ain't right. ANy help?

The Pleasure of Food
In This Article:
Eating is truly one of life's most pleasurable and sensuous activities. Quite simply, food tastes good. It pleases all your senses of taste. Food offers delightful aromas and textures. It refreshes us. Enjoying food, especially delicious food, is one of the most natural experiences in the world. Hooray!
So why do we persist in our love-hate relationship with food? It's so unnecessary. Food in and of itself cannot make you fat. It has no such power. The power resides in you and your eating habits. If you overeat any food, you can gain weight. If you eat food using the 0-5 approach, you can reach your ideal size.
A Healthy Appetite Really Is Healthy
Just as hunger is a valuable feeling you don't want to suppress, a normal appetite is a good thing, too. Appetite is the desire for food. Your normal appetite for certain foods fluctuates from day to day. You should honor your appetite. Don't ignore or resist its natural function. For instance, you might have an appetite for eggs and bacon for breakfast. You don't have to resist your appetite and eat only cereal. Go ahead and eat the eggs and bacon.
Crazy About Those Cravings
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as a false appetite. A false appetite is basically an irrational craving. Your brain becomes self-programmed to desire something so strongly that it incites you to compulsive consumption. Your false appetite often is for foods that can be harmful, such as allergic foods, lots of sugar, and highly processed refined starches such as breads, pasta, cookies, and cakes. We call these fluffy starches.
Mike, a college student, is allergic to wheat, corn, and milk products. They give him stomach cramps and frequent diarrhea. He can't resist eating certain wheat products, especially sandwich bread ... even when it makes him sick. His craving for bread can be so extreme that he will even put a fancy steak between two pieces of bread with a couple slices of cheese. Like someone who needs a daily fix of coffee, his desire for bread compels him to eat irrationally. His eating habits are ruining his fun and health. Of course, he can ultimately control his urge for these allergic foods by substituting other foods he loves that aren't harmful.
You can manage your appetite by directing it toward good-for-you foods such as the basics--meat, fruits, vegetables, and fats. If one day you have an urge for broccoli, give in to it. Ditto for steak, salmon, salad, and so on. Your body will be glad you did. You don't need to battle your appetite. Just manage it as one part of your overall eating approach.
Good Digestion Comes with Pleasurable Eating
Many people who are overweight have poor digestion. For the most part, poor digestion is not inherited or genetic. We give it to ourselves through the way we eat. Eating to soothe stress or anxiety is often the culprit.
Alas, poor digestion can lead to weight problems. Here's how: When a person feels stressed, the part of the central nervous system that regulates digestion switches off. This is called the parasympathetic nervous system. At those times of stress, the body can take in food and process some of it, but digestion doesn't work correctly to extract all the nutritional goodness from the food.
Poor digestion is not always obvious by observing symptoms. You could get heartburn, diarrhea, or constipation, but not always. Poor digestion can be seemingly silent.
If you eat when you are stressed, anxious, or nervous, you might as well be eating cardboard for all the nutrients your body gets. Yes, eating when stressed is a gaining situation. Now you might think, well, gosh, if I'm not digesting, the calories aren't getting handled, so I should be losing weight. Good idea, but wrong reality. When digestion is impaired, the body starts "starving" from lack of necessary nutrients. Yes, it goes into starvation metabolism and starts hoarding fat and energy. It thinks it's in a famine. The good news is that it's easy to make some corrections and get rid of stress at mealtimes.
If you feel stressed often, it can be helpful to take a supplement that contains multiple B vitamins. These help, but you could still find yourself stressed at mealtimes. Here's how to make meals a pleasant "losing" experience.

And that accomplishes what??? That's like saying "Franco's Saints are losing because of what the NFL did to their coaches. If only we could have what we had 2 years ago, we could win it all again." If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
We can't do ANYTHING about what was or coulda been. Only FOOLS buy into that bilge. OK...so there were mistakes made by past coaches and players...BUT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU INTEND TO DO "THIS SUNDAY"?????
If you can't see the correlation, you are beyond blind. Just keep your heads where the sun don't shine. BUT PLEASE...STOP telling us how YOUR views can solve anything. When you're out of ammo, pick up your weapon and run for cover...or steal some ammo from the enemy and continue to fight. But stop whining about how that last enemy surge wiped out all your ammo, and if only we could return to when we were fully operational.

Notice that he only apologizes to the "non-technical" folks, which he repeats a few times.
Phoronix: Mark Shuttleworth Sends Out Apologies
Mark Shuttleworth has apologized on the behalf of his legal team for one of his employees asserting their trademark rights over a web-site that was critical of Ubuntu's privacy within Unity. At the same time he also apologized over his earlier "Open Source Tea Party" comments for anti-Mir users...
Notice that he only apologizes to the "non-technical" folks, which he repeats a few times.
He is not apologizing about Canonicals' instance on defending their trademarks and copyrights, why should he?. Instead, he seems to be apologizing about using the toughest email template for their request .
The fact is , that website fixubuntu.com was indeed abusing from Canonicals trademarks and copyrights, there is no doubt about it. And i do not see how that website could be silenced in any way by that requests. Companies are entitled to defend their copyrights and trademarks from misuses or abuses too.
Mark talks around this quite carefully in his post, if you read it carefully:
"In this case Canonical has a trademark policy that enables community members to use the marks (good) and allows for satire and sucks sites even in jurisdictions where the local law does not (great!)"
(emphasis mine). Mark's clearly aware of the jurisdictional issues, but he's backgrounding them.
Sadly, the comments on his blog are closed. He deserves the recognition for finally apologizing for his insult.
I don't understand what you mean here.Troll someone to death and he will explode with a rant at least.
Even if it is a bit half hearted, it's still good he apologized.
