The front door of the house is of great importance as it depicts the preference and the taste of the people living inside the house. It is important to pay attention to the appearance and the design of the front door while building your dream home. It will be an appealing factor for other people and will also reflect the grace of your personality. Now-a-days there is a large range of front door designs for the house and one can select the design for the front door according to the structure of the house. There are some useful tips that should be kept in mind before selecting the door.
While selecting the door to be placed at the front of the house you should consider that its design should be in a harmony with the design and the structure of the entire house. If it is not blended properly with the color of the house then whatever you do for its attractiveness, it will always look apart from the house. This is why more importance is given to the door designs. If the house has a classical look then try to have a door which has a contemporary design so that it can easily fit with the look of the house.
The main objective should be that the door perfectly matches the aesthetic and the beauty of the house and adds to its appearance. Another important factor to be considered is the weather protection and the safety factor. The door should be strong and it will be the best option to use the doors made of wood or fiber glass. The doors having glass windows look very attractive but they are easy for the intruders to break in. The material should also be considered keeping in view the weather condition and to protect the door from its effects. It is important that the door designs that you choose should be resistant to dents and scratches to increase the life of the doors.
When you go for buying a door, you will find a large variety of the doors available in the market. They are available in different designs, styles and patterns. You can also select a wooden door with carvings. It looks really beautiful and neat and can also compliment the design of the house as well. Wooden doors are reliable and are long lasting and people also prefer them because they give a royal look to their house. They also give an antique look to your home and look perfect.

Is privacy possible in a social network? And, if so, which social-network service does it the best? We put Facebook and LinkedIn head-to-head.
Privacy policy: A draw
One of the least viewed pages on a website, the privacy policy, is nonetheless the centrepiece of a company's privacy posture.
When it comes to the policies of these two social networks, Facebook has an edge for its format and readability.
The content of both policies get a B grade from me, however.
When you hit the Privacy link in the Facebook footer, you land on an attractively designed tutorial page.
This "guide to privacy on Facebook" very clearly explains the concept of sharing profile information at three levels - friends, friends of friends, and everyone - and describes the rationale behind its recommended privacy settings.
This section links to the full Facebook privacy policy, a 5,531 word thesis. Meanwhile, the LinkedIn privacy policy is a 6,250-word essay.
This variance in length and readability makes sense, though, because the LinkedIn audience is generally older and more educated.
To their credit, both policies provide an above-average level of detail of the data they collect and how they use and disclose it.
That said, they're both weak in three areas: data security, data access and email retention.
On security, neither provides any level of detail behind the standard commitment to use SSL on payment pages and also use network firewalls.
On data access, both fall short of offering to provide users a full account of the data stored and disclosed about them.
On email retention, I've always wondered whether the messages I send via Facebook and the InMails I send via LinkedIn are retained indefinitely, but neither policy sheds light on this question.
One Facebook friend of mine, a privacy attorney, has forsworn sending any messages via LinkedIn until a delete button is added, a feature that LinkedIn reports is being rolled out now.
For its part, the LinkedIn policy makes a bolder statement about third-party disclosure, stating: "We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personal identifiable information to any third parties for marketing purposes".
You can't get much better than that.
Facebook, meanwhile, makes a much clearer commitment to delete user information, stating: "You may deactivate your account on your account settings page or delete your account on this help page" and "Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 90 days, but will not be available to others".
All in all, still a draw.

27 January 2011
Pete Postlethwaite (1946-2011)
Published on January 27th, 2011 @ 07:02:35 pm, using 591 words, 1324 views
I see similarities where most people would find none. When I share my findings, I often elicit a squinty, eyebrow-distorting WTF!? reaction.
Benicio Del Toro and Leonardo DiCaprio, lookalikes?
Well, I see it. They could be brothers as far as I'm concerned. But then again, I'm weird.
In high school, I took an elective class that produced a little piece I deeply, deeply love. Can't explain or pinpoint why exactly. Maybe the simple fact that I made it with my own two hands. Maybe that's a good enough reason for love. Fact is, I'm damn proud of it. I love the way it feels in my hands - cool, seemingly moist, easy to grasp with an almost soft hardness to it. A hardness, betrayed by the illusion that it might turn soft any second.
But did I make it from scratch, I often find myself wondering…
I've always wondered whether we are doomed to rely on things already in existence in order to quote-unquote, create. Or whether we have a gift for actually creating from scratch. Fifty-one percent of me is of the opinion that creating from scratch might be too tall an order. There's always a precedent. Always an inspiration. We're better at being led by inspiration, adding nuances, changing things here and there… sculpting.
No easy task that was… sculpting that little guy.
Fifty minutes a day of being dared into a corner by hurdles, cut down to size by shortcomings, pressured into consenting to compromises all the way through. Actively compromising all the way through.
Don't have the skills to sculpt open eyes? Let them be closed. Let the dude enjoy his slumber…
Don't have the skills to sculpt hair? Let him be bald.
Can't sculpt a realistic bald head? It'll look weird? Give'im a sleeping cap (pom-pom and all.) And so it went. Hurdle, a couple of steps back, momentum and… jump!
I remember loving sitting in that room oblivious to the chattering girls hard at work on their colorful beads and their chatter. I wasn't there for beads. I've never been anywhere… for beads.
Right around that time (circa 1993, I think it was) I saw a movie called In the Name of the Father. It made quite an impact. I remember going back to see it a second time. I remember writing about it for the school literary magazine. I have screencaps imbedded in my brain of Daniel Day-Lewis' gift for incontestable truth under imaginary circumstances (in this case adapted from life.)
And I remember a man I had never seen before. An Irish gentleman (or so I thought at the time) who was there for support. Amazing support.
That man made his mark in my film-embedded brain. So much so that I'm positively convinced and have been for years that he inspired my little high school project. Or rather, I was inspired by that great, great face and everything it could and did show. Something about the eyebrows and the cheekbones. Not the humility and the dignity. I didn't have the skill for that. But I did see a resemblance the moment it was finished and I see it to this day. Maybe it's there, maybe it's me being weird. I can already feel the squinty eyes on me, the distorted eyebrows, the WTFs…
I see it. I like to think I was inspired by him.
Enjoy your slumber, Pete Postlethwaite.

Honing in on the 5 most important moves in month 1 allows 11 months implementation and adoption toward vast improvement in the formula. We are sensitive to the older agent demographic but building scalability and leverage with the technology knowledge base of the Millennial, X, and Y generation. Connecting people beyond the retrieval of cloud
data and onto a transparent platform of discussion, market knowledge sharing and learning is what agents will value most going forward. As the importance of brick and mortar subsides the importance of digital apps and connectivity is vital. Discount brokerages can only play the one step split equation to attract agents, Companies with TS 2, (tools, strategies, training, and support) available in a tight package and easily accessible will win the recruiting war going forward. Chasing discount deals is one thing, being able to offer growing a predictable, sustainable, and dependable career is what complete agent platforms are all about.
Treating tenured real estate company like a fresh start up with a one year goal of complete transformation is happening and the tools and knowledge to turn your history of success into a Roadmap to the future is what making your agents first in mind is all about.

Risk Of CT-Induced Cancer Minimal Compared To Risk Of Dying From Disease
Young patients who undergo chest or abdominopelvic CT are more than 35 times more likely to die of their disease than develop a radiation induced cancer, according to an analysis of 23,359 patients, some of whom were scanned more than 15 times.
The analysis conducted at three hospitals in Boston, found that in the chest CT group, 575 out of 8,133 patients were deceased after a mean follow-up of about 4 years. "That compares to the 12 cases of radiation-induced cancer that would be expected in this group based on the BEIR-VII method, a commonly used model for determining CT-induced cancer incidence," said Rob Zondervan, one of the authors of the study.
In the abdomino-pelvic CT group, 1,124 out of 15,226 patients were deceased after a mean follow-up of about 3.5 years. "That compares to 23 cases of predicted cancer incidence," said Mr. Zondervan. "Our results indicate that the risk from underlying disease overshadows risk from CT radiation-induced malignancy, even in young adults," he said.
Records of all patients aged 18-35 who underwent a chest CT or an abdominopelvic CT from 2003-2007 were included in the analysis.
The data was broken down further based on number of CT examinations. Patients who had only one or two scans had the most predicted cases of CT-induced cancer (20 out of the 35 predicted cases). "This seeming anomaly arises from the much greater number of young adults who get one or two scans," said Mr. Zondervan. "These results do emphasize that we need to focus our radiation reduction efforts on patients who are very rarely scanned as well as those who are more frequently scanned," he said.
The analysis will be presented at the ARRS Annual Meeting May 1 in Vancouver, Canada.

MILF tones down the violins, warns talks will get tougher
COTABATO CITY, Philippines—Moro Islamic Liberation Front chairman Murad Ebrahim has asked the public to tone down its expectations of the peace talks with the government even in light of the recent agreements announced by the two sides.
"The road ahead is more rugged and tricky than what has been achieved so far," Ebrahim said in a statement released via e-mail to the media here on Thursday.
Ebrahim, who once headed the MILF peace talks panel before becoming head of the rebel group, said "the real test of the success of the talks hinges on the conclusion of agreements on the substantive issues like power-sharing, wealth-sharing, extent of territory of the new Moro entity."
Mujiv Hataman, acting governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, said he could not agree more.
Hataman said that while certain camps spoke of peace, they unwittingly muddled issues and had become part of the problem instead of the solution.
He said the media could help in this aspect by being circumspect about the information they report to the public.
"Some people learn to speak not quite well but ill of others, partly because of leading questions in interviews…. But we should also learn to help build peace even in public statements," Hataman said.
Ebrahim said that while the breakthrough in the negotiations has restored the MILF's confidence in the government, people could do more by also praying.
"Pray for more successes of the ongoing peace negotiation in the coming months so that the Moro question and the armed conflict in Mindanao would be finally settled and in order for the whole country to embrace just peace and prosperity," he said.
The agreements recently signed in Kuala Lumpur include the establishment of a transition mechanism for the expansion of the ARMM's areas.
"The transition mechanism will translate our political aspirations into pragmatism and how these would lead to the actual empowerment of the Moros to exercise self-governance is part of the larger agenda," Ebrahim said.
Ebrahim also appealed to the international community, particularly members of the International Contact Group (ICG), to sustain their efforts at maintaining the momentum of the latest round of talks—the 27th session—in Kuala Lumpur.

German truck maker Daimler AG took the wraps off its 'Asia business model', a far-reaching strategy that will see its FUSO range of trucks, which rolled out from the company's plant near here on Thursday, exported to nearly 15 countries across Asia and Africa. The FUSO trucks have a local content of over 80 per cent. The FUSO range of trucks, which was produced by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, Japan (MFTBC), consists of five models that span medium/heavy-duty and light/medium-duty. These trucks will be exported and sold through the FUSO network to markets such as Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
"The new strategic FUSO truck range is meant only for the export market. We plan to export nearly 1,000 trucks this year," said Albert Kirchmann, President & CEO, MFTBC, while addressing reporters.
According to Dr. Kirchmann, the new Asian model will leverage on two Daimler outfits — Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler AG, and MFTBC.
Not only will a strong focus be placed now on an integrated 'Trucks Asia' product portfolio, DICV's supplier base will be used to provide a co-ordinated procurement strategy that will ensure greater cost efficiencies.
Responding to a media query, Marc Llistosella, Managing Director and CEO, DICV, said that Daimler's Asia strategy was not planned to counter-balance the excess capacity in India.
"This is not because capacity is lying idle here. If you remember, we said we would eventually do exports four years ago. This is only to leverage the existing production network of FUSO, which is sold in over 150 countries," Mr. Llistosella said.
The Oragadam plant, near here, will now complement Mitsubishi Fuso Truck's Kawasaki plant in Japan, and the combined target of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and DICV is to double the annual sales of Fuso trucks to 290,000 units by 2020. Company officials, however, refused to divulge the expected geographic contribution of this target.
The completely built units of Fuso trucks will first be exported to Sri Lanka next month, following which they will be exported to Kenya, Brunei, Zambia and Bangladesh this year.

I had a PDQ 32 (very similar )surveyed in Deltaville ~ 14 months ago.

So with that, can anyone make recommendations of a surveyor and yard in Deltaville? Keep in mind that it's a Gemini, so a surveyor and yard experienced with cats could be useful (the yard work he wants is not really cat specific, so it's less of an issue there).
Also, is there a size limit on the dink they can get in terms of the amount of room between the hulls for use with the davits?
Thanks all.
I was pleased with the work.

The yard was Gratitude and there were no surprises, but all they did was haul and clean. They do have a lift wide enough for the Gemini.
Re. the dink, don't know. A PDQ is wider. However, I think they carry it above the hulls, no?
He really should be asking on the Gemini Yahoo group - he'll find it someday anyway.

To argue more against myself (than against anything you said), the flip side of my own argment is that there is no area of our conscious mind that can not be manipulated by direct interaction with the brain. Studies show that electrodes inserted into the various regions can directly manipulate the part of the mind that area regulates. They can cause hallucinatory sensory input, trigger emotions, even interfere with memory recall, problem solving or speech. Similar results are observed with traumatic brain injuries, sometimes even resulting in permanent personality changes. With such a direct a causal relationship between the brain and consciousness it's hard to conclude anything other than that we are nothing more than our own brain.

Ferrer, Nadal win to give Spain 2-0 Davis Cup lead
SEVILLE, Spain Rafael Nadal barely needed to break a sweat in another dominant performance on clay. David Ferrer then needed one of the best matches of his career to put Spain on the brink of another Davis Cup title.
Ferrer rallied for a grueling 6-2, 6-7 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Juan Martin del Potro on Friday to give the host Spaniards a 2-0 lead over Argentina in the final.
After Nadal brushed aside Juan Monaco in the first match, Ferrer looked to be in trouble after Del Potro went ahead 2 sets to 1. But the Argentine seemed to struggle with fatigue and nerves down the stretch, double-faulting on set point in the fourth to force a decider.
Ferrer then jumped out to a 5-1 lead before clinching the victory with his 28th forehand winner to close out a match that lasted nearly 5 hours.
"Maybe today was the best match of my career," Ferrer said after leaving Spain on the verge of a third title in four years.
Earlier, Nadal eased to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 win over Monaco, and Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco can close out the series for four-time champion Spain against David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank in Saturday's doubles.
The United States is the only nation to have rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the final, in 1939 at Australia.
"We're still alive, of course, and we have another chance tomorrow," Del Potro said. "(But) you see that even if you play unbelievable tennis against Spain you can lose."
Ferrer dropped to his knees and let out a long scream after putting the South Americans on the verge of failing for the fourth time in a final. They also lost to Spain in their last appearance in 2008.
"I expected a tough match but maybe not that tough," said Ferrer, who made amends for losing his one singles match in the final at Mar del Plata three years ago. "I was nearly perfect, if not I wouldn't have won."
Ferrer's comeback looked unlikely after Del Potro took control in the second and third sets, with the former U.S. Open champion's booming forehand dictating many of the rallies. Of Del Potro's 71 total winners, 39 came from his forehand as the cold conditions favored the lanky Argentine's game.
But with Nadal and Spain's team willing him on, Ferrer capitalized on Del Potro's errors as the Argentine followed up one of his 10 aces with his fifth double-fault to take it to a decisive set.
The fifth-ranked Ferrer carried the momentum and the support of the majority of the 26,000 spectators into the decider, and broke in the fourth and sixth games for a 5-1 lead.
"We knew (Del Potro) was the best chance to give Argentina one point, and he was very close so we're disappointed," Argentina captain Tito Vazquez said.
Nadal returned to the comfort of clay after a disappointing performance at last week's ATP World Tour Finals in London, and his best play followed as he broke Monaco seven times.

Our Pets
They are our pets. What would we do without them?
They listen to our problems without interrupting. They amuse us with their playful exuberance. Some of them even share a bed with us, nuzzling next to us on these cold winter nights. They are our pets. What would we do without them? Some of our pets are extraordinary. Wilderwood Service Dogs is a non-profit organization that trains working dogs to aid people with neurological issues, including children with autism and adults with dementia. Some of our pets are extreme. Slithering snakes, scaly lizards and rare birds populate many homes throughout Southern Illinois. "Snakes and lizards make good pets," said Ron Kodie, owner of Ark Aquatics in Mount Vernon."They like to be handled and they're easy to clean up after. You're not chasing after a snake with a pooper-scooper." Most of our pets can be classified somewhere between extraordinary and extreme. We will all classify our pets as the best in Southern Illinois, if not the world � even if they misbehave from time to time. "People really do enjoy their pets more when they are well-trained," said longtime De Soto dog trainer Carol Ely. "Any animal can be trained." Ely knows from experience. She trains dogs through John A. Logan College's continuing education program and has trained more than 200 birds and a rooster. Feathers or fur, good owners can't imagine neglecting their pets or leaving them behind in ditches, garbage cans or on the side of the road. But workers at local animal shelters know that those incidents occur all too often. "There are a lot of sad things that happen, but we have a lot of happy stories, too," said Penny South, manager of PAWS Place in Anna. Inside this special section, you will find out how to help your local shelter, what to do in a pet emergency and how to make your dog an upstanding citizen of the canine community. So grab your dog, cat or your bearded lizard, curl up on the couch and enjoy. -- Joe Szynkowski A SPECIAL SECTION FROM THE SOUTHERN ILLINOISAN FEBRUARY 21, 2012 special.thesouthern.com The Southern Illinoisan (USPS 258980) is published daily for $178 per year at 710 N.

ADVERTISEMENT Half of Ron Kodie's job at Ark Aquatics is talking people out of choosing the wrong kind of exotic animal. "Some people think it's cool or manly, I guess, to come in and ask about getting the biggest snake we have, Kodie said. "I " had one guy want an anaconda one time. I told him that would outgrow him and his house. " Kodie and his wife, Andi, bought the Mount Vernon pet store in September. Formerly Squak N Talk Pet Store, Ark Aquatics specializes in selling exotic animals such as pythons, bearded lizards and many types of unique birds. Kodie advises customers to do their research before settling on an exotic pet. "Some people don't realize that these animals can turn on you, Kodie said. "These " things are still wild animals, no matter how many generations have been breed in captivity. " For first-time snake owners, Kodie recommends the ball python, which has a mild temperament compared to a red-tailed boa or Burmese python. "They are very docile and they don't mind being handled, Kodie said. " "They're called ball pythons because they curl up into a ball. They won't strike you all of the time like other snakes. " Kodie said most people interested in owning their first lizard are under the impression they want an iguana. "People just don't understand that they are going to get six feet long and most of them end up with THE SOUTHERN FILE PHOTO A parakeet and a rabbit share a carrot snack at The Science Center in Carbondale. bad temperaments, he said. " "They will whip you with that tail and split you open. " Kodie points people toward the less dangerous bearded dragon. "They look really neat and they only get to be about 18 to 20 inches, he said. "They " like being handled and will sit on you. Their food needs are basic, too. They make all kinds of formulated diets now to make things easy on pet owners if they don't want to track down live food." Ark Aquatics also serves people looking for tarantulas, chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs and birds. Kodie said there is a boost in popularity for pets you can keep in an aquarium. "There is a certain ease of maintenance that people are looking for, " he said. "And for people renting their house or apartment, a lot of these animals usually aren't excluded in the lease like a dog or a cat. " Clean-up is generally easier with an exotic pet, Kodie adds. "For the snakes it's a contained environment, he " said. "There isn't as much to keep up with, just change some water and food. " Kodie said some people are using snake -- and fish -- filled aquariums as conversation-starters in their homes. Ask the Veterinarian: Strange Pet Behavior Dr. Craig Smith, DVM, of Pet Wellness Center, PC in Marion answers your questions on your pet's strange behavior. Pet Owner Question: "My 2-year-old cat Janie is Pet Owner Question: "My dog constantly chews and licks at his feet. I always thought this was just a nervous habit or maybe he was just bored. I can't tell. Is this something I should be concerned about?" Dr. Smith: In short, yes. This behavior can be caused by something as simple as a punctured paw pad to something as severe as an autoimmune disease or canine cancer. However, the most common culprit is allergic skin disease. This behavior presents due to your dog's allergic reaction to the environment or even to components of your dog's food. The licking itself can cause yeast and bacteria to form that leads to secondary infections. It is very important to consult your pets' veterinarian if you notice your pet excessively chewing or licking their body to get an accurate diagnosis. Otherwise, the pet's quality of life will deteriorate. Pet Owner Question: "I've always wondered why my dog kicks up grass after she has a bowel movement. Why does he do that?" Dr. Smith: Many pet owners with gaping holes in their lawns understand why you asked this question. While pet parents who love a well manicured lawn might be frustrated, medically speaking it is a completely normal dog behavior. Believe it or not, every member of the canine family (the fox, the wolf, the dingo, etc.) makes so cute. She always sticks one paw in her water dish before she drinks. Can she not see the water? It's cute, but I worry that she might be trying to tell me something. Help!" Dr. Smith: Though many people think cats despise water, if it's not being aimed at them or causing them stress many cats actually enjoy it. While it isn't likely that Janie is having vision problems at her age, she may be trying to tell you her water is less than fresh. Cats are very hygienic and love to have a clean, fresh environment. That's why many cats prefer drinking directly from places we might not consider clean but have flowing water like toilets. There are many different water bowls available that provide the same appeal to cats and can keep you from having to excessively refill her bowl. Dr. Craig Smith, DVM, is the Senior Veterinarian at Pet Wellness Center, PC in Marion, Illinois. With over 25 years of veterinary experience, he and his staff have the skill and knowledge to keep your pets feeling their best.

Not only is it a sanitary issue, it's also territorial. When a dog makes the scratching motion into the dirt, the glands in a dog's feet release pheromones.

The non-profit organization trains service dogs to help people with neurological disabilities. It is recruiting volunteers and will need foster homes to raise puppies from six months to one year. Commitment will include raising the puppy as a mainly indoor dog, socializing them in your community, providing dog food and attending Wilderwood puppy classes. For more information visit www.wilderwood.org. -- Joe Szynkowski As a registered psychiatric nurse, Tiffany Denyer spent 15 years in hospitals treating people with neurological disabilities. She watched people suffer from brain trauma, autism, emotional illness, dementia and Alzheimer's. She struggled to accept the hit-andmiss medicinal treatments and therapeutic approaches that never seemed to fully resonate with her patients. Away from work, Denyer had been involved with dogs since her childhood. She trained them for obedience and service, and took them into nursing homes to visit the elderly. She felt first-hand the power of pet therapy. "I remember saying, `This stuff really works, said the '" Steeleville native. Denyer earned a canine study degree in California and brought her newfound education and passion back to Maryville, Tenn., three hours east of Nashville. That's where in 2005 she founded Wilderwood Service Dogs, which is the only organization of its kind that addresses the unique needs of people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. "It is a result of my life experiences as a nurse and as a dog-lover, Denyer said. " Wilderwood starts its service dogs off as puppies, which spend a year with foster families learning basic behaviors and commands. They then shift to Wilderwood's Illinois facility in Willisville � located 20 miles west of Du Quoin in Perry County.

Pet adoption An easy way to save a life and add a friend BY JOE SZYNKOWSKI FOR THE SOUTHERN Local humane societies and animal shelters are bursting at their seams, filled with surrendered dogs and abandoned cats looking to land with loving families. Dedicated staffs -- comprised mainly of volunteers -- pour long hours into their passion to ensure that every animal is clean, fed and healthy while it waits to find a permanent home. It is a heartstringtugging reality, one that isn't going away any time soon. "We're always full, " said Penny South, manager of PAWS Place in Anna. "Once one is adopted, there are 10 more trying to get in that spot." Pet adoption is an uphill battle, but good luck `Some people think you will get a more well-breed dog from breeders or a pet store, but most times it's quite the opposite.' PENNY SOUTH MANAGER OF PAWS PLACE IN ANNA BEFORE YOU ADOPT Do your research: Potential adopters are urged to know what type of animal they want to take home. Breed, size, age and temperament are a few factors to consider. Be patient: Most shelters are understaffed and working hard to care for the animals in their facilities. The application process could take time, as shelter staff is most concerned with finding the right fit for their animals. Stay aware: Shelters and humane societies conduct various pet adoption events at local pet stores throughout the year. Call you local organization or find them online for more information on upcoming events. finding a local shelter waving the white flag. Watching a onceneglected shelter animal transform into a pet is worth the work, sweat and tears for these advocates. "If you didn't have more success stories than failures, then you couldn't stand to do it anymore, South said. " "There are a lot of sad things that happen, but we have a lot of happy Page 4 Tuesday, February 21, 2012 The Southern Illinoisan � Our Pets stories, too. " With the help of extensive online galleries and cooperative shelter employees, people looking to adopt pets have a bevy of tools at their disposal to find the right animal. In fact, South recommends that potential adopters conduct some research before they even enter the shelter doors. "We want people to do look into what breeds they want and find the right pet for their family, she said. "For dogs, " find out if they will be active or laid back, and also find out the size they will grow to be. Also, people with allergies will want to find breeds that don't shed as much. " The adoption process can be quite thorough because shelters take the time to make sure their animals and potential adopters are a good match. "We're trying to find people who are going to take care of them, keep up on their inoculations and tend to their health-care needs, South " said. "We like for our dogs and cats to be part of the family. " For people who have previously owned pets, shelters will check in with past veterinarians. They also reserve the right to request a home visit to avoid sending an animal into a dangerous situation. PAWS Place will not allow one of its cats to be adopted by a family that plans on keeping it outside. Most shelters require an adoption fee. South said the fee is a bargain when considering the perks that come with a shelter pet -- at 6 months old, animals have already been spayed or neutered, have had vaccinations and been microchipped. "We do a lot to make sure these animals are adoptable, " South said. "We're looking for people to take care of their animals. This isn't a new blouse you wear for a year and toss it out. Pets are like your children and you want these families to have a commitment to the animals. " Lend a hand to your local shelter Looking for an opportunity to get involved at your local animal shelter? Most organizations are volunteer-based, offering you the chance to devote your valuable time to a worthy cause. Volunteer duties may include walking dogs, playing with cats, answering phones and cleaning the facility. Many shelters are in need of monetary donations throughout the year, as well.

"To teach a dog not to jump, we never put our hands on the dog or scream at the dog. We turn our back and ignore. " Ely offers many tips of the training trade through her John A. Logan College continuing education courses focused on dog obedience and socialization. She offers different levels of training and private sessions depending on how much dog owners are hoping to accomplish.

As more research is directed toward pet health, Ely stresses the importance of fitness and agility training. Overweight and obese pets are at higher risk for diabetes, joint pain, high blood pressure and other weight-related diseases and injuries, Ely says.

" If a dog in Ely's class is overweight, she is up front with the pet's owners about the need to cut out some treats and add an exercise routine. "People don't realize that even a simple thing like a crooked sit is attributed to a dog being overweight, Ely said. " "That is where the importance of agility training comes in. " Ely advises dog owners to take charge of whatever training issue is in need of help -- whether it is weight, obedience or agility. "Dogs have to learn to adapt to people.

Her booth at the Carbondale farmers' market will soon be hounded by hungry pooches craving her homemade treats. It's a Saturday tradition. "They know the spot. It's hilarious to see the dogs pulling their owners, Shelley said. " Shelley's recipe book, "Earl's Pearls Doggie Drooling Treats, has " helped boost her business in Carbondale and beyond. She averages 35 to 40 regular customers every Saturday at the farmers' market, requiring her to produce more than 500 treats per week. Shelley hopes to devote more time to her growing business when she retires as office manager of Carbondale Dentist Group this spring. "I don't sit down after work, I go straight into the kitchen, said Shelley, " explaining how she balances her busy schedule. "If I sit down, I won't get back up. " Shelley's recipe book offers more than 75 snacks for dogs of all sizes and appetites. "This year I've gotten more business than ever in the off-season, which is December through March, probably mostly thanks to the book, she " said. Earl's Pearls is a business that Shelley formed out of her longtime hobby. She had often given treats to friends' pets as Christmas gifts. Then during a trip to Indianapolis, Shelley and her daughter came across the popular Three Dog Bakery. That trip inspired her to get serious about her business. She began baking and bagging treats to sell Saturday mornings with the goal of selling $50 in treats each week at the farmers' market. She left her first Saturday with $75 in sales. Carbondale City Councilman Chris Wissmann and his German Wirehaired Pointer, Cappy, are THE SOUTHERN FILE PHOTO Earlene Shelley show her new dog treat cookbook to customer Mike Vance of Carbondale at the Farmer's Market. More online: thesouthern.com/weblinks A local vet's guide to pet emergencies With a few rules, dogs and offices can mix well Moving in together? Take your time combining pets DETAILS Earlene Shelley's recipe book, "Earl's Pearls Doggie Drooling Treats," is available at Day Shift, Bookworm and Neighborhood Co-Op in Carbondale. From April to November, Shelley also sells her book at the Carbondale farmer's market. Godiva's Cinnamon Crunch 1 package flour tortillas 1 egg, beaten 3 tablespoons milk 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon cinnamon Cut tortillas into wedges or strips. Beat eggs and milk together and brush over tortillas. Mix cornmeal and cinnamon; sprinkle over tortillas. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes. Tortillas should be crunchy. � Earlene Shelley longtime customers of Earl's Pearls. "When it's market day, Cappy knows exactly where Earl's Pearls is, " Wissmann said. "I like to let her lead me. " If it were up to Cappy, the farmers' market would take place every day of the week. "Sometimes she will want to go on a walk at midnight or one in the morning, Wissmann " said. "Invariably, she will lead me over to where the farmers' market is and she will lay down where Earl's Pearls booth belongs. She's very despondent when she finds out she won't be getting treats. " It's easy to see why Cappy and other dogs keep coming back for more. Shelley uses simple ingredients with no preservatives to make the most natural dog treats possible. She also leaves out foods that can harm dogs, such as raisins, white sugar and chocolate. Treats with bacon, cheese or peanut butter flavors are the first to go, Shelley said. "I make a biscotti with honey, peanut butter and bananas, she said. "I " swear it tastes just like banana nut bread. " Shelley's dogs, Daisy May and McKensie, are her "quality control team. " "The dog I had before, she had to go on a diet, " Shelley said. "These two dogs get only four or five treats a week. That's the thing. Some customers have had to back off a little bit for their dogs because there's nothing low sugar about my treats." With so many tasty ingredients, it is not uncommon for Shelley to hear dog owners admit to a taste test or two. "Hey, some of them I've eaten, too, she said, " laughing.

First I turned off the circuit breaker at the control panel to my Jenn-Air stove-top. At 220-volts, don't take any chances with electricity!Then I removed two screws that hold the burner switch panel in place and lifted up the panel to expose the wires that are connected to all 4 of the burner switches, the exhaust fan and pilot lights that indicate if a burner is turned on. I used a circuit tester to determine that the power was indeed off to the switches. Again, it is extremely important to respect 220-volts of electricity. I ensured that all of the wires were already labeled the same as the terminal connections on the switch (i.e. H-1, H-2, P, etc.). If they are not, label them yourself with masking tape around each wire. Then I removed each of the wires connected to the burned out switch with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Next I removed the two screws attaching the burner switch to the panel.To install the new switch, repeat all of these directions in reverse, making sure to attach each labeled wire to the correct terminal on the burner switch.Turn the circuit back on at the circuit breaker. Then test the burner switch and see if the burner heats up. Hopefully, you'll be cooking in no time...............

Jimmer's game is like …
Feb 1, 2011, 12:05 PM EDT
Jimmer Fredette truly is a national story. They're even talking about him in Boston.
And nobody talking college hoops in Boston.
BYU's senior star got the treatment from Globe columnist Bob Ryan during the weekend, a guy who made his name on the NBA beat. So his column focus makes sense to me: "Who does Fredette remind you of?"
It's the game every NBA fan's playing these days. When Jimmer heads to the league, who's he gonna be like?
Ryan dismisses Jimmer as Mark Price (too boring) or J.J. Redick (stand-still jumper). And don't even think about Dennis Johnson, because DJ "was completely sui generis." (Ryan's audience took Latin; mine took IM.)
That leaves … Scott Skiles. And that ain't bad.
As my buddy and Seattle sports anchor James Sido noted recently, Skiles posted Jimmer numbers – 27.4 ppg – for Michigan State in 1985-86. And that's without 3s.
But Ryan's willing to go one step further. Much like Kevin Durant has completely defied comparisons because of his blend of size and skill, Jimmer may very well be the first Jimmer Fredette.
In college? Sure. But that may be asking a bit much for the NBA.
Want more? I'm also on Twitter @MikeMillerNBC.

Let's be real here. Which NBA team do you think he will lead? Even Steve Nash is missing Stoudermire, though many say that he made Amare' a better player. Seem to me, he's missing Amare more than Amare" is missing him. Let's not get excited just because a kid does well in college, most of them don't excel in the next level. Is this kid going to be any different, I doubt it but let's wait and see, I could be wrong but history is on my side.

WEMBLEY, England — The American hunger to score goals in the gold medal game quickly turned into a feeding frenzy.
Abby Wambach watched Alex Morgan go to the end line and twirl for a picturesque pass in front of Japan's goal.
She was ready to kick it in for the first goal of the game when Carli Lloyd appeared out of nowhere.
"For a millisecond I didn't know what was going on," Wambach said. "She basically ran through my foot. I think I kicked her in the face.
"But a head is better than a foot in that situation because you can control it better:.
That was just the beginning of Lloyd's mischief in the Americans' 2-1 victory over Japan that clinched a third consecutive Olympic gold medal.
In the second half Lloyd barged down the middle, went against the grain and scored on a 54-footer into the left corner. That gave her four goals for the Olympic tournament
"I saw her coming and I ran wide and took my player wide," Wambach said. "I knew she was going to hit it. When she did, I was so tired I couldn't even get over to her to celebrate. I just went to the mid-stripe and waited for the next kickoff."
As usual, the U.S. victory depended on an entourage. Goalkeeper Hope Solo was brilliant, denying Japan with spectacular saves on at least four occasions, and bailing out captain Christine Rompone after a giveaway deep in the Americans' end in the 83rd minute.
Another turnover by Rompone had allowed Japan to cut the lead to 2-1 on a goal by Yuko Ogimi.
The Japanese, who beat the Y.S. in the World Cup final on penalty kicks last year, had the ball 58 percent of the time. Timely defensive plays by Rompone and Rachel Buehler helped avert goals, and Solo did the rest.
Solo has been critical of her teammates and especially former U.S. players.
"We didn't want this to become about that," Wambach said.
"In the end she's the best goalie that's ever been on the planet," Lloyd said.
The U.S. advanced by beating Canada, 4-3, on an double-OT goal by Morgan. The game was fraught with controversy, with the U.S. getting an indirect free kick because Canada goalkeeper Erin MclLeod was judged to have held the ball longer than the prescribed six seconds.

About Me
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
This jigsaw has a solid build and feel. You can tell this is a well made machine. The zero clearance blade inserts make for a nice cut without tear out.
Like all Festools, the dust collection is better than just about any other tool in it's class. Not as good dust collection as say a TS 55, but really good compared to my previous Bosch jigsaw.
The big downside is the view of the blade. With the guards/dust collection pieces in place, there is very little view of the blade. Also compounding this is the bandsaw like blade guides. They keep this saw cutting very precise cuts, but at the expense of visibility.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For FERS Folks: the Money Decision
Tuesday - 4/19/2011, 4:00am EDT
If $500 or $5,000 suddenly appeared on your doorstep would you keep it? What if you got a perfectly legal cash windfall every two weeks, the equivalent of a 5 percent tax-deferred pay raise. Would you accept?
For most people that's a no-brainer. For the vast majority of federal and postal workers (those under the Federal Employees Retirement System,) getting the extra money is easy. All they need to do is put 5 percent of their own pay, via payroll deduction, into the Thrift Savings Plan each payday. Uncle Sam will match the first five percent, although FERS employees are allowed to invest an additional 5 percent without a government match.
For any FERS employee, and especially new hires for whom the TSP is a brand new perk, the amount they put into the TSP is an important decision. So what to do?
On April 11, Joe Sullender, a certified financial planner, joined benefits expert Tammy Flanagan on her For Your Benefit radio show. He's with Wells Fargo advisors based in McLean, Va.. To hear the entire show, including tips on the best dates to retire, click here.
Meantime, here are some highlights from the program for FERS investors:
- For new hires with the Federal government, there can be some trepidation with how to proceed with saving for retirement while still managing current needs and other goals. A careful balance must be struck between long-term planning (like retirement) and more immediate needs such as education, savings, purchasing a first home or even paying down debt. However, regardless of the new FERS employee's situation, it is imperative that they contribute at least 5% to the TSP. If you contribute 5% to the TSP, they match these contributions 100% - meaning your money is essentially doubled instantly. Combine this matching with the compounding interest on these funds over the years and you can quickly see how a 5% contribution early in one's career can accumulate to quite a bit of money by retirement.
- Once the 5% contribution has been met, then you may want to consider maximizing the TSP contribution up to the 2011 limit of $16,500. Ideally, it is recommended that each FERS employee try to "max out" the TSP. Not only are all TSP contributions pre-tax, but all growth accumulates in a tax-deferred shelter, allowing it to grow faster than it would in a taxable account.
- Be sure, however, to weigh this savings against other goals that could be more immediate. First of all, it is usually advisable to not contribute more than 5% to the TSP if you have high-interest debt such as credit cards. Use all disposable income to wipe out this debt before trying to build your retirement nest egg. Additionally, many people I meet with in the mid-career stage have been maximizing their TSP and are in excellent shape for retirement - but have nothing put away for their children's college education. Be wary of this and be sure you are tackling all of your goals at the same time - water ALL of the "plants" the best that you can!
