Which animal is the smartest in the world? Which bird dives the deepest? Which is the fastest animal on land? Get the answers from the "Zoo Education Exhibition 2012 - The Most Extreme Animals in the World" organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD).

A trip to Thirk on this glorious sunny day was to be entertaining and frustrating at the same time.
The team saw the return of Sam Fletcher and Nicky Desoysa who were to star in the team performance.
Thirsk are bottom of the table with little chance of survival but they are a team who has been solid and difficult to break down in the past.
A tricky opening spell in which good Chapeltown possession was wasted in front of goal with Tom Casson going close and James Davidson getting in the way of a lofted reverse strike from Robin Codina much to his annoyance. However it was at the other end following a decent save fromAndy Bowring that the ball fell to a Thirsk player who somehow managed to drag his effort wide of an open goal.
With this fresh in the memory Greg Bristol made good ground from the back with a exchange of passes with Matt Burgon he then found Tom Casson who easily dribbled into the D and then mishit his shot or perhaps it was a pass the jury remains out on that one but James Davidson was well placed at the back post to push the ball home 1-0.
Further efforts on goal by all the forwards saw the Thirsk keeper make repeated saves however it was a scrappy finish for Tim Lloyd who hit home for the second when the ball broke to him.
The game deteriorated here turning into a dribble-athon with some would say great runs and shots from Tom Casson, Robin Codina and Viv Balachander which went wide hit the post and on occasion was well tackled without adding to the score.
Viv Balachander turned out to be the more lucky player as follwoing another drbble he did actually manage to score from just inside the D making it 3-0. Thirsk heads were down and they looked like a team well beaten already.
The Chapeltown defence were soaking up any attacks with Lee Robinson continuing his good vain of form while Sam Fletche looked assured at ceentre back while Greg Bristol continued with good tackles and tracking of players to prevent opportunities.
FRANK TINGLE was placed in centre midfield and showed some great touches and some excellent tackles to win the ball back. It was one such steal that led to a Tim Lloyd break down the left and following an exchange of passes saw a simple finish by Nicky Desoysa at the back post to make it 4-0 at half time.
The second half was to continue in the same form as playing to our strengths and passing the ball around stopped and dribbling took over. A further goal was scored by Robin Codina following a good passing move started by Matt Burgon who found Viv Balachander who in turn found James Davidson who drove along the back line before finding Robin Codina unmarked at the back post.
A rare Thirsk break saw a rather sympathetic penalty flick given away as Lee Robinson was adjudged to have pulled down the Thirsk player. The flick was well taken and there was little that Andy Bowring could have done. Andy pretty much became an observer after this goal.
James Davidson should have done better when one on one with the keeper but his strike was saved cannoning off the keeperwho went down injured. The keeper had attempted to continue but left the pitch injured after making another save from James and Robin Codina.
Confusion set in as the umpires were presented with Thirsk opting for 11 outfield players and no kicking back at this point. This led to two further goals from Viv Balachander and Tom Casson who was deserving of a goal after playing somewhat superbly as the lead attacker.
Matt Burgon needed a rest and we opted to put Viv Balachander into centre midfield with the versatile FRANK TINGLE the five minutes Viv was in there he managed to satnd on the ball at least five times citing that the ball moves differently in the middle!!
Robin Codina managed to get his second goal of the day as Thirsk put a keeper back into the net for the closing ten minutes of the game. Good possession from Chapeltown had seen several attempts at goal eitehr miss ar attacks break down due to the sheer numbers that were now defending. However a Viv Balachander shot was saved only for Robin to slot it away to make 8-1 at the end of the match.
Man of the match went to Viv Balachander who was somewhat fortunate with his dribbling getting him two goals. Dick of the day nearly went to Viv too but the conspiracy against the team captain James Davidson didn't win over as Nicky Desoysa was heard at the start of the game claiming he was a star at Rotherham Hockey club and as one of the dick votes said, nobody is a star at Rotherham!!
Next up is away to Ramgarhia. They have had a dip in form Chapeltown will be keen to get back to back victories!!
Nobody has commented yet. Be the first!

Operating restrictions that have grounded operations using Eurocopter Super Puma models in the UK have been lifted following a two-day meeting of the pan-industry Helicopter Safety Steering Group.
The withdrawal of the AS332L/L1, L2 and EC225s from service followed a fatal accident involving an L2 near Sumburgh, Shetland Isles on 23 August.
However, announcing its decision on 29 August, the HSSG said it felt it was right to the return the aircraft to service following the "time out for safety".
It says consultations with the helicopter operators suggest they are "satisfied that there is no reason to believe there is an inherent mechanical problem with any of the AS332L/L1, AS332L2 or EC225 helicopter types".
It also notes no reaction from either EASA or the UK Civil Aviation Authority "which positively affirms that there are no safety reasons that support a suspension of flying".
"Finally, the global picture is that these airframes have continued to fly; moreover, the Norwegian CAA has publicly stated that there are no technical reasons that support a suspension of service," it says.
Additionally it points to the initial statement issued earlier on 29 August from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch which "suggests that the helicopter was intact and upright when it entered the water".
"As a consequence, the HSSG supports the return to active service of all variants of the Super Puma fleet."
However it suggests that given the sensitivities around the accident, the L2 fleet should only initially return to non-revenue operations.
Additionally it mandates an independent review into offshore helicopter transportation.

MICA vs. SCAD vs. RISD vs. Cooper Union ---- I got Accepted to MICA and RISD!
Hey CA good to see you
I am a senior in highschool and am planning on going to an art college. I take art very seriously and have given this decision very much thought. There are many colleges to which I am applying but i dont have a solid idea of which school i would like to actually attend.
WHat i'm looking for in an art college is a program that has a very strong traditional basis where i can learn a great deal about technique and traditional art in general (color theory, anatomy, environments, life drawing.... .etc). At the same time i want a school that is able to take this and apply it to a modern sense and bring into a new realm that utilizes design and technology.
The schools to which I am applying are:
1. Maryland Institute College of Art
2. Savannah College of Art and Design
3. Rhode Island School of Design
4. Cooper Union
Could I get some recommendations and advice. Also, any schools that fit my description that I havent listed??
hey just an update i got accepted to both mica and risd!! havent heard back from teh others

So...what do you want to major in?
November 26th, 2005 #3
Cooper Union is a fine arts college. They probably won't be able to teach you anything about classical drawing methods and techniques. If they do, it'll be pretty thin. They're more into exploration and stuff.
I'm also kind of confused...what kind of program are you looking into? Are you planning on being an illustrator or something? Give us some idea of what you're planning on doing and then we can help you.

November 26th, 2005 #4
if you wanna do traditional stuff with a degree in classical foundation then id go to MICA. i have visited that school and it seems like my jaw hit the floor every 2 minutes that day. they have very good classical drawing and painting classes. but the issue really is what you wanna get a degree in. most colleges teach u traditionial art media if you take illustration. because you have to anyway.

Visiting a school also helps you out. I first wanted to go to MICA and University of the Arts but after seeing SCAD's illustration program and campus I felt more at home there. Weird but true. You need to feel like you fit in at a school to properly enjoy it and take alot out of it.

I have to agree with the others. Go where you feel like you fit in. Which school have you chosen, by the way? I attended Rhode Island School of Design for illustration. It was a very traditional school. I feel like I walked away with a heap of knowledge and direction. The environment there was intense. I could sum up my experience with a life schedule of working, eating, and sleeping. If you planned on focusing on anything else you would flunk out. Gave me quite the working ethic. Real life after school was easy in comparison. I wouldn't trade my education for another looking back. I'm a concept artist and 3D modeller for the game industry. So I guess it worked out. Good luck with your choices.
December 14th, 2005 #8
As everyone has said, find the place thats the best fit for you. Visit as many of them as possible. I go to SCAD and will graduate in 6 months. Majoring in Illustration with a minor is Drawing. From the drawing minor I've gotten a pretty solid figure drawing foundation and loads of different media experience from illustration. There are open houses at SCAD every month so come down and check one out if you're interested. There are also two tours of the campus a day, everyday so you dont need to come to one of the SCAD Days. The best thing you can really do is visit places. I've been really successful at SCAD and enjoyed my time here immensely but that doesnt mean that the same will apply to you. Good luck.

i've been in mica my freshman year, so i can give you some insights.
if you're interested in traditional than you should be fine there, although it depends on the teacher. some of them prefer contemparary fine arts, but some love strictly traditional, old masters and such. you get to do tons of life drawing either way, plus if you're really motivated outside of class life drawing sessions are available. the only downsides to mica are cost and location.
pm me if you have any specific questions.
January 12th, 2006 #10
I went to SCAD, which I would reccommend, but more strongly for some areas than others. Let me know if you'd like more info. Finding a school in a city you like is important, you've got to visit them to get an idea. I liked Savannah, but after 4 years I was ready to move. I have thought about going back someday to teach though.
From what I remember about Cooper Union, it's freaking impossible to get in, but once you do, isn't it free? It used to be that way, not sure if things have changed. If you got in, and it is indeed free, I'd go there in a heartbeat. You could always get a more specific masters degree after that and you'd be in the same place financially.

In arguing that we must leave Earth to ensure human survival, Richard Gott ignores important moral questions (8 September, p 51). He assumes that it is morally justifiable to expend a large share of global financial and technical resources to ensure the genetic survival of a few human specimens and their descendants.
He assumes that European imperial colonisation provides a supportive analogy for the colonisation of space. Many people, not only in non-European nations, do not see European colonisation as benign or beneficial to the colonised.
Gott argues that the first human on the moon spoke English because of England's earlier successful colonisation of America. This colonisation also decimated indigenous populations, provided a market for slaves from other colonised populations and destroyed natural environments. European colonists travelled to environments intrinsically supportive of human life and still suffered loss of life that would be morally unacceptable now.
At present, we ...

Great supplement for depresssion
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1991305 on Nov 21, 2012
High concentrates of Folic Acid have been shown to aid anti-depressants in making more serotonin available to the body. I was using a prescription version called Deplin but the cost was too high for me. I've found this produce to give the same benefits. On days when I don't take it I notice more depression, so I take one daily. And you can't get the benefit by buying Folic Acid at the drugstore. One would have to consume dozens a day for the same or lesser benefit.
lowering my homocysteine level
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2613706 on Jan 16, 2013
I had been trying desperately to lower my homocysteine with a high dose of ordinary folate. It had worked in 2004, but not any more. Then I read about 5-MTHF and thought that 1 mg should do it. Disappointment again. Then I made a mistake and ordered 5-MTHF in the 5 mg strength. That did it. My number is 8.5 where I want it to be. I may have to toggle back and forth between the two strengths because it can be unwise to lower homocysteine too much.

BizClim Success Story: COMESA trade and Investing Conference
The COMESA Trade and Investment Conference was organized by BizClim and COMESA Regional Investment Agency (COMESA RIA), with the support of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture Belgium-Luxembourg-Africa-Caribbean-Pacific at Hotel La Plaza, Brussels, Belgium, on the 18th and the 19th of December 2008 in Belgium, Brussels. A total of 154 delegates attended the two day event, including a large COMESA delegation led by Hon. Felix Mutati, Member of Parliament and Former Minister of Trade and Industry of Zambia. The objectives of the conference were to foster stronger linkages between the EU and COMESA stakeholders as well as to show case opportunities that COMESA has for European investors especially in the sectors of agriculture, energy, infrastructure, ICT, tourism and mining.
The second life of the ACP Business Climate Facility has been given an extension!
Nominated by Africa Investor with the prize of "Best Investment Climate Initiative of the Year", BizClim II was set to leave the forefront of the scene at the end of January 2013 after 2 years and half of activities and 48 specific projects implemented in around 50 ACP countries, covering in a balanced way the whole region. Soon after, the final evaluation of the programme concluded that "BizClim was able to develop high standing and credibility as a flagship programme both for the EU and the ACP. It established a reputation for promoting regional integration through practical, future oriented private sector development roadmaps and through actively disseminating knowledge to ACP countries."

A BizClim success story: the ECOWAS Common Investment Market
Against the background of a meager share in total world investment flows of about 0.47% in 2007 and a population of about 300 million people, the ECOWAS Commission enlisted support from BizClim for the preparation of an Investment Policy Framework (IPF) to facilitate the creation of a healthy business environment and to attract investors into the West Africa region. The harmonization of regional investment policies into a singular code would remove obstacles to doing business and provide efficient and effective regulatory framework to promote healthy competition and growth of the regional private sector.

39 CLUES, Heir to Harry Potter?
By Jackie Burrell
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 at 12:55 pm in Books.
Go on. Admit it. We're all looking for the next "Harry Potter." But Scholastic, HP's U.S. publisher, thinks it may have actually found the heir, so to speak, to the wildly popular book series in a new multi-media book and game they're launching in September. And Steven Spielberg seems to agree.
"The 39 Clues" is a 10-volume mystery series about a powerful, ancient family — the Cahills — whose members include Napoleon, Benjamin Franklin and every major power figure of the last 500 years. (Hmm, sounds kinda Freemason-like, no?) Young Amy, age 14, and Dan Cahill, 11, are caught up in a desperate race to find the 39 clues — hidden across the ages and around the world, we're told by Scholastic — that lead to ultimate power, before another branch of their family beats them to it.
What sets the books apart from all the other "no, no, this is the next Harry Potter" contenders is that the series is written by several high-profile authors, who will crank out a new volume every few months. The books come packaged with collector clue cards, and an online component turns the whole thing into a massive multi-player game with $100,000 in prizes.
Who's wielding the pen(s)? Rick Riordan of "Lightning Thief" and "Sea of Monsters" fame penned the series opener, "The Maze of Bones" and sketched the story arc for the next nine books. The other authors include Gordon Korman, the author of "Swindle" and "Schooled," for book 2, Peter Lerangis (Spy-X and Watcher series) for book 3, and Jude Watson (several "Star Wars" prequels) for book 4.
And now, there's a movie too. Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks picked up the movie rights this morning.
Color us intrigued. The book hits store shelves Sept. 9.

What supplies are liable to VAT?
Value-added tax (VAT) is due on any supply of goods or services made in Slovenia, where there is a taxable supply made by a taxable person in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by said person. Supply of goods shall mean the transfer of the right to dispose of tangible property as owner. Supply of services shall mean each transaction that is not supply of goods (including abandonment of ownership rights, the omission or toleration of any action or state, providing services based on the law or other act).
Supply does not include anything done otherwise than for a consideration. However, certain supplies carried out for no consideration are deemed as taxable supplies; for example, use of goods for non-business purposes (business assets used for private purposes or for the private purposes of his/her employees, or disposal of goods free-of-charge).
What is the standard rate of VAT?
The standard rate of VAT is 22 percent.
Are there any reduced rates, zero rates, or exemptions?
Yes. There is a reduced rate of 9.5 percent for certain goods and services (specifically determined by the VAT Act), including:
There is an extensive list of exempted supplies with the right of input VAT deduction, including:
The list of exemptions (without the right of input VAT deduction) includes:
What are the other local indirect taxes beside VAT?
Who is required to register for Slovenian VAT?
Slovenian Entities
If a business makes taxable supplies in Slovenia over the VAT registration threshold EUR50,000 in the last 12 months, it will be required to register and account for Slovenian VAT. If it trades below the registration threshold it can still choose to register for VAT as a Voluntary Trader, however in this case it should stay VAT identified for at least 60 months. The threshold is not relevant for foreign entities.
Taxable persons shall be obliged to report to the tax authorities when their activities in respect of which they are liable to charge, levy and pay VAT, begin, change, or cease.
Taxable persons and legal entities that acquire goods from other European Union (EU) member states where such acquisitions are taxable in Slovenia have to register for VAT purposes in Slovenia.
Non-Slovenian Entities
Foreign legal entities should register for VAT in Slovenia for all supplies of services and goods for which the place of supply is considered to be Slovenia, and no reverse charge mechanism is applicable.
If a business is not registered for VAT in Slovenia but sells and delivers goods from another EU Member State to customers in Slovenia who are not VAT registered (distance sales), where the value of those sales exceeds a threshold of EUR35,000 it is required to register and account for VAT in Slovenia.
Access the VAT registration form on the Slovenian tax authority's web site: http://www.durs.gov.si/fileadmin/durs.gov.si/pageuploads/Obrazci_ANG/Claim_for_issuing_VAT_identification_number.pdf. (PDF 296 KB)
Are there penalties for not registering or late registration?
Failure to report to the tax authority when activity begins, changes, or ceases, or failure to submit an application for registration within the prescribed time limit may result in the imposition of a fine ranging from EUR2000 to EUR125,000 depending on the type of offense.
If a taxable person who does not have a seat in Slovenia and supplies goods and/or services in Slovenia fails to register for VAT and/or appoint a fiscal representative, the said person is likely to lose its right to reimbursement of VAT paid on the acquisition of the goods and services supplied by other taxable persons in Slovenia or on the import of goods into Slovenia.
Is voluntary VAT registration possible for an overseas company?
Are there any simplifications that could avoid the need for an overseas company to register for VAT?
If a business supplies goods or services on the territory of Slovenia, then it is required to register and account for Slovenian VAT.
However, there is a safety mechanism applicable in Slovenia. In case the foreign tax payer does not register and pay VAT in Slovenia, the receipient of goods or services must pay the VAT to the State Treasury.Nevertheless, a foreign taxpayer is still in breach of local legislation.
Does an overseas company need to appoint a fiscal representative?
Taxable persons, with their main seat of business in a third country or on third territory, who have not established a registered business and do not have a fixed establishment in Slovenia must appoint a tax representative who is liable to pay the VAT if the foreign taxpayer fails to fulfill his obligation (VAT registration and VAT payment). Taxable persons established in another EU MC may appoint a fiscal representative.
Is VAT grouping possible?
Can an overseas company be included in a VAT group?
Not applicable.
How frequently are VAT returns submitted?
Most registered businesses are required to submit VAT returns on a monthly basis. However, for taxpayers whose annual turnover does not exceed EUR210,000 the VAT return may be submitted on a quarterly basis.
Failure to submit VAT returns on time may result in a penalty of between EUR2,000 and EUR125,000, depending on the type of offense.
For a taxable person who commences with performing a taxable activity, the tax period for the first 12 months shall be fixed at calendar month.
For the taxable person with the seat of establishment outside Slovenia, the tax period shall be a calendar month regardless of the volume of annual turnover.
Are there any other returns that need to be submitted?
European Sales List (Recapitulative Statements)
If a business supplies goods that are shipped from Slovenia to VAT registered businesses in other EU Member States or render services to a VAT payer identified in other member state, it is required to complete Recapitulative Statements. Recapitulative Statements are completed on a monthly basis.
Intrastat Supplementary Declarations
VAT registered businesses with a value of dispatches or arrivals to or from other EU member states that exceed a threshold EUR 120,000 (for arrivals) and EUR 200,000 (for dispatches) per calendar year must complete respective Intrastat report each month. The special treshold is set at EUR 4,000,000 for arrivals and EUR 9,000,000 for dispatches of goods.
Failure to submit statistical reports on time may result in a penalty EUR 1,252.
Access statistical reports on the Statistical Office Web site:
If a business receives a purchase invoice in foreign currency, which exchange rate should be used for VAT reporting purposes? (e.g. central bank's exchange rate applicable on the date of the invoice)
Where the value, which is the basis for determining the taxable amount, except for the importation of goods, is expressed in a foreign currency, the exchange rate applicable to the conversion of this amount into the national currency (EUR) shall be the foreign exchange reference rate of the European Central Bank valid on the day when the tax liability arises and published by the Bank of Slovenia.
Can a business recover VAT if it is not registered?
Yes. If a business is established in another EU Member State and is not performing taxable activities in Slovenia, then it should submit an electronic claim under EU Directive 2008/09/EC to the tax authorities in your home country.
A non-EU business should recover the VAT under the 13th Directive. Under both of these provisions there are strict time limits for making claims. Taxable persons shall have the right to a refund of input VAT that relates to a period of between 3 months and 1 year (the period can be shorter than 6 months if it represents the remainder of the calendar year). The time limit for submitting a refund claim is 6 months after the year in which the VAT was charged.
The minimum amount to be claimed for the period not less than six months is EUR 400, while for the rest of calendar year the minimum amount is EUR 50.
Non-EU resident entities are entitled to a VAT refund on the basis of reciprocity.
Does your country apply reciprocity rules for reclaims submitted by non-established businesses?
Yes: Croatia*****, Iceland, Israel, Japan, South Korea*, Canada, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey**, Serbia*** , Taiwan****, Montenegro******.

Are there any items that businesses cannot recover VAT on?
Yes. There are certain items that businesses cannot recover VAT on. For example:
How are exports of goods and services treated?
If a business exports goods to a customer (business or private) outside of the EU then it does not need to charge VAT but should keep proof of export.
In general the supply of services by a business established in Slovenia to a foreign business customer (B2B), is taxable in the country of the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism. However, supplies of services to a private consumer (B2C) are in general taxable in the country of the supplier and therefore subject to Slovenian VAT.
The following exceptions apply to the B2B and B2C main rules as described above:
The following exceptions apply to the B2C main rule:
How are goods dealt with on importation?
When goods are imported into Slovenia, import VAT and customs duty may be due. This has to be paid or secured before the goods will be released for free circulation.
For import VAT exemption please refer to simplifications section described above.
How are services which are brought in from abroad treated for VAT purposes?
If businesses receive certain services from suppliers outside Slovenia, they will generally be required to account for the VAT in Slovenia. Under the reverse charge mechanism they are required to account for the VAT as output tax on their VAT return covering the period in which they received a service or have made a payment. The right to deduct input VAT shall arise at the time when VAT becomes chargeable. A taxable person must not deduct input VAT before the tax period in which it received invoices for goods or services supplied or in which it received customs declarations for imported goods.
Is a business required to issue tax invoices?
What do businesses have to show on a tax invoice?
If businesses must issue a tax invoice it should contain the following data:
Can businesses issue invoices electronically?
Yes, electronic invoicing is permitted provided authenticity and integrity of the invoice are assured.
Is it possible to operate self-billing?
Yes, self-billing is possible under following conditions:
Can a business issue VAT invoices denominated in a foreign currency?
The amounts which appear on the invoice may be expressed in any currency, provided that the amount of VAT payable is expressed in EUR.
Is there a relief from VAT for the sale of a business as a going concern?
VAT shall not be charged, levied, or paid on the transfer of a company or part of a company, which represents an economic whole to another taxable person. The purchaser should intend to use the assets to carry on the same kind of business.
Are there any options to tax transactions?
The lease of fixed property, transfer of real property (except partly-constructed property), and the transfer of buildings and their parts (under certain conditions) are generally exempt from taxation.
However, there is an option to tax these transactions if the lessor and lessee conclude a special statement and lodge it with the tax authorities. The aforementioned statement is feasible to prepare only in case that the buyer is entitled to deduct 100 percent of input VAT.
How are transactions between head office and branch treated?
Transactions between head office and branch are not treated as a supply for VAT purposes (except supply of goods to other EU member state).
Are businesses able to claim relief for bad debts?
Is there a general anti-avoidance provision under VAT law?
There are no anti-avoidance provisions but some "transfer pricing" regulations are applicable under Slovenian VAT law.
What is the penalty and interest regime like?
Individuals who commit an offense in connection with the independent performance of activities shall be subject to a monetary penalty. Legal persons shall be subject to a monetary penalty for violations if they:
Tax audits
How often do tax audits take place?
No special rule; the key for selection of tax reviews is confidential.
Are there audits done electronically in your country (e-audit)? If so, what system is in use?
Not yet; tax audits are usually held at client's facilities or at the tax authorities, however for the purposes of usual tax control (not an audit), the tax authorities may request data electronically.
Advance rulings and decisions from the tax authority
Is it possible to apply for formal or informal advance rulings from the (indirect) tax authority?
Are rulings and decisions issued by the tax authorities publicly available in your country?
Mostly yes, however, please note that informal rulings are not treated as a valid legal basis, but in general it is accepted.
In your country, are there unique specific indirect tax rules (regimes) that differ from standard indirect tax rules in other jurisdictions?
Are there indirect tax incentives available in your country (e.g. reduced rates, tax holidays)?

You and your dog will have many happy years ahead of you together. But eventually the years will take their toll, and your elderly dog will need special care. If you know what to expect, you'll be prepared to cater to his needs without becoming a nervous wreck.
When is a dog considered to be old? As a rule of thumb, when he enters the last third of his life expectancy. For example, a dog of a breed whose life expectancy is fifteen years is old at the age of ten. With cross-breed dogs it becomes difficult to tell. Usually, large dogs have a shorter life expectancy than small ones.
An old dog requires as much special care as a puppy. This is because old age brings ailments (commonly, arthritis, heart disease and kidney failure) and physical discomfort; food and exercise have to be tailored to your dog's age and health; changes in demeanour and habits are common in the old dog; he can no longer cope with certain situations that didn't trouble him when young; he loses eyesight and hearing.
Your old dog may prefer a warm and comfortable place to laze about most of the time. But he also needs exercise. Physical exercise keeps the blood flowing to the brain, which is important in helping the dog keep his mental faculties. Exercise will also help keep the muscles supple, the joints healthy, and the mind in a youthful state. Also, insufficient exercise and activity contribute to obesity - a condition where the dog has gained and carries too much weight - which may cause serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Exercise should be moderate or slightly strenuous, depending on your dog's health. Usually, a dog that has always been active - a regular participant in demanding dog sports, for example - will appreciate slightly strenuous exercise. A dog that has led a quiet life will appreciate moderate exercise. As a guideline, slightly strenuous exercise means the dog running, off-lead, for about ten to fifteen minutes once a day, and taking a couple of twenty-minute walks at a brisk pace. Moderate exercise means three fifteen-minute walks a day at a slow to brisk pace. Your vet knows your dog's physical condition better than anyone else, so ask him to recommend an exercise programme.
Mental exercise keeps the dog thinking, so he can still solve minor problems he encounters daily. For example, if he sends a ball rolling under the sofa, he'll still know how to retrieve it - provided it hasn't rolled out of reach. A dog that isn't used to thinking will probably look at the ball and bark, without trying to get it. Use the obedience exercises you learned to keep your dog mentally exercised - sit; down; stay; leave it, and drop it are good examples. His joints may be painful, and he may not be able to move as fast as he did when he was young. Be patient, and don't expect him to respond immediately. Serving one of his daily meals in a Kong toy also keeps him mentally exercised.
While there's no need to panic at the slightest change you see in your dog, because he's taken for regular check-ups, do play it safe and take him to the vet if:
Because your old dog spends most of the day sleeping, make sure his bed is warm and well-padded, and keep it out of draughts. An old dog has a hard time adjusting to changes in routine, so don't move his bed from place to place. Pick a spot where there are people most of the time so that he doesn't feel lonely and scared.
After you've bathed him, dry him thoroughly with a towel and hair dryer (if he's not fussed by the noise) and keep him indoors until his coat and skin are completely dry. He may shed more, so use a soft brush and brush him gently to avoid scratching his skin and hurting him.
Because eyesight and hearing deteriorate - other senses do too, but not as much - avoid rearranging furniture. If you have to move furniture around, be careful with pointy corners at your dog's eye level. Cover them with plastic or rubber-rounded corners you can buy from a hardware store and clip on to furniture. Take your dog, on the lead, for various walks around the house so that he can get used to the newly arranged surroundings. When he's alone at night, and likely to move around, leave some lights on - he can't see well in the dark anymore.

The Voice
The Voice Season 2 Music Wish List for April 23, 2012: Songs We'd Love to Hear From Team Adam and Team Cee Lo
After last week's shocking instant eliminations on Team Christina and Team Blake, we know that tonight's contestants will be singing for their lives on the show.
If they want to perform on The Voice stage tomorrow, here's what we suggest:
Team Adam
Katrina Parker
"A New Day Has Come" by Celine Dion
Katrina has a beautiful, pure quality to her voice, and has been compared to strong female vocalists like Adele. We think she'd sound gorgeous on this Celine Dion ballad.
"Shake It Out" by Florence + The Machine
Mathai's distinctive sound makes her stand-out in the contestant pool, and her rockin' stage presence would allow her to "shake it out."
"Grenade" by Bruno Mars
Ignoring his mishap with The Killers last week, Pip does have a strong, old-timey sound. Bruno Mars loves to play up the big band angle and we bet there's even a spot for our boy's bow tie in there!
Tony Lucca
"Paradise" by Coldplay
Though this song is incredibly repetitive, Tony could definitely leave us with a memorable performance. After all, the man does know how to rock out, and so does Coldplay. Match made in heaven.
Team Cee Lo
"I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross
Though we're not always the biggest fans of Cheesa's voice, we loved her fun disco number two weeks ago. She'd put on a good performance with this Motown hit!
Jamar Rogers
"The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson
No other performer in this competition could do Michael Jackson with as much energy as Jamar. We'd love to see him try out some of Michael's dance moves too.
James Massone
"My Love" by Justin Timberlake
James has been playing up his ladies man vibe with supple sounds and a soft voice. We know another artist who does that too ...
Juliet Simms
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye
This girl could rock out to just about anything, but we'd love to see her tackle Motown. Songs about cheating spouses and wronged lovers? Sounds perfect for her gritty tone.
What do you think of our choices? Comment below!

In New York, the NYS DMV lists an accident on the driving records of every driver in an accident. An accident that appears on the driver record does not assign the fault to that driver or determine fault. An accident normally remains on a NY motor vehicle record (MVR) during the year that the accident occurred and for the following three years. The accident is then removed on January 1st of the forth year after the collision.
If the accident was considered by the state or DMV to be of a serious nature it can remain on a driver record for more than 10 years. This information regarding your driving record is important to know because insurance companies typically look at your driving record when determining your rates.
If your accident is listed when an insurance company checks your driving record it can then affect your rates. If your insurance is raised due to an accident, NYS regards this as a surcharge. The reasons for which surcharges are allowed by New York Insurance Department can be found on their website. It does not mention how long the surcharge can last, many states allow 3 years, so you may need to contact this agency to find out what New York allows.

70F in March in Minnesota? You've got to be kidding me. Surely there is another big snowstorm yet to come. Regardless, I rode this morning for the first time in a while. I've become wary of slipping on ice so the unicycle has stayed in the garage. Today we set out for a short training run.
I think the thing I lost after my 2 month layoff was acclimation to the seat. I was pleased that my balance was fine, and my fitness was still reasonable due to other things I'm doing, but my crotch hurt. I had trouble finding a comfortable position for the first 6 or 8 blocks. After that I forgot about it for the rest of the ride.
My favorite part of the ride wasn't anything physical, but rather my drive by the local bicycle hangout. There are two bikeshop/coffee bar/breakfast joints across the street from each other at 4th and Churchill and I like to ride down 4th and up Churchill on my way back home. Middle age guys in red Lycra, snappy bikes and thickening beltlines were hanging around the outside tables with their lattes when I rode past. The last thing I heard as I approached the corner was a voice saying, "yeah, its all carbon" in reference to some type of rim on his machine, and then as I rode past, nothing but silence. Once clear the conversations picked up again, not likely about the joys of unicycling.
Its great to be out again. The trails will be dry soon.

For No. 11 Bakersfield (CA) rolls to SWYL Championship and many other topics visit HSWrestling.net
To a man, the Drillers agreed: Bakersfield (CA) (No. 11 in Nation) wrestling team is no less hungry, no less motivated and no less focused that it was a year ago, when it was chasing a state title instead of defending one.
It showed Saturday, when Drillers won 10 of the 14 finals matches in the Southwest Yosemite League Championships at Frontier.
?It hasn?t changed.* Even though we won last year, people might say that it wasn?t legit.* We?re not cocky; we?re just here to wrestle.* And we?re going to do whatever we can to win.?Nickell, ranked No. 6 in the state at 112 pounds, had perhaps the night?s biggest win when he downed Frontier?s Vincent Gomez, who?s No. 5, 11-4. It was Nickell?s first victory over the Titans sophomore.
Ian Nickell, Bakersfield Senior
Bakersfield scored 276 points to easily out-distance Frontier (193) and Centennial (158) and win the re-configured SWYL.
In all, Bakersfield will send 13 of a possible 14 wrestlers to next week?s Central Section Yosemite Divisional at East High; the top four in each SWYL weight class advanced.

The Stockton Thunder (15-10-0-4) take on the San Francisco Bulls (11-15-3-1) at home at Stockton Arena for their final match up of their three-game weekend set . The puck drops at 4:00 PST with Stockton Arena doors opening at 3 p.m.
Today is "Kids Take Over the Stockton Arena", an event where kids have the opportunity to hold various positions throughout the Stockton Arena as well as Thunder Staff Positions. Kids were invited to apply online for jobs ranging from Usher's to Storm Squad to Thunder Broadcasters.
In addition, rally towels will also be given to the first 2,000 fans entering Stockton Arena. After a 7-6 overtime win in last night's contest at Stockton Arena, the Thunder look to win game three of their three-game weekend set against the Bulls.
Tensions from Friday night's match up between the two Pacific Division teams spilled over into last night's game which was a high scoring, action packed overtime game.
The Bulls, who won Fridays' game 5-2 at the Cow Palace, led the Thunder 3-1 at the end of the first period. Forward Mitch Bruijsten who tallied the only goal of the period for the Thunder scored off a rebound from a Greg Miller shot.
The Thunder outscored the Bulls 4-1 during the second period, giving the Thunder a 5-4 lead over the Bulls, their first lead over the San Francisco team.
The offense was lead by Bruijsten, who registered an additional 3 points in the second period (1g-2a). His linemates Miller and Joey Martin also collected two points with each contributing one goal and one assist in the frame.
After San Francisco took the 6-5 lead, the Thunder would have to rely on Alex MacLeod to once again tie the game up at 12:39 of the third period. The score would remain that way until overtime. Dean Oulette of the Bulls received a two-minute penalty for high sticking at 2:57 of the overtime period giving the ECHL leading power play unit an opportunity to end the game. The Thunder would convert thanks to Miller with assists coming from Nathan Deck and Martin.
Following today's game will be a hockey first! Kids who register through the Community Corner will be invited to paint the ice after the game. Anyone who had preregistered can head to the Pre-Registration booth on the fan deck to complete the waiver and receive their wristbands. There are still 240 spots to paint the ice, so if you want to be a part of the action, be sure to head to the New Registration Table, also on the fan deck to reserve your spot! The Thunder will host the San Francisco Bulls again on Jan. 3 where the painted ice will be played on in the "We Paint the Ice" event presented by We Paint, Lester Low Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, and Naf's Ice Paint.

ShinyStyle Loves: Lulu Guinness Royal wedding souvenirs
Nicole Richie owns over 200 pairs of sunglasses.
The reality TV star-turned-designer – whose House of Harlow accessories line carries the eyewear – is often voted one of the world's most stylish women and admits she has a huge number of shades to help accessorise her fashionable outfits.
She told Teen Vogue magazine: "I view them as fun masks to accessorise your face. In my defence, I make sunglasses, so I have to research-shop, and I own every pair I've ever designed."
Nicole is well known for her signature bohemian look and says she relies on extras to transform her wardrobe staples of jeans and a T-shirt into something special.
She explained: "You change the look with accessories. And by accessories, I mean sunglasses, head scarves, shoes, bed jackets.
"I'm always missing that in-between layer. On the West Coast, you don't need a full jacket, but you want something more than just a tank."
The designer also creates footwear but says because she is only 5ft 2in she is more interested in comfort than style.
She said: "Comfort takes precedence for me. These are super-high, but because they have a built-in platform, they don't feel like it.
"I am not that girl who can do super-arched heels. All the shoes I design have a cushion and a platform."

Carrying on with our archive galleries of our very favourite designers and their best designs, today we're going to look at Louis Vuitton, one of France's most loved and celebrated design houses. Even if you're not familiar with their collections, you'll probably know what their luxury handbags and luggage looks like – and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to some truly gorgeous work.
We've got a lot to thank Louis Vuitton for – three cheers for the fashion house that brought womanly curves back into vogue with a now unforgettable Autumn/Winter 2010 collection, which featured the likes of Lara Stone and Elle MacPherson wiggling down the runway in staggeringly sexy nipped-in 1950s dresses and two-piece suits. And thus the ladylike trend was born, one of the most flattering trends to have surfaced for a while.
We also fell hard for their 2011 spring/summer collection which showed an opulent range of oriental-inspired silk prints, and their delightfully silly 2010 collection filled with florals, bows, fluff and afro wigs galore. This is truly a fashion house that never fails to surprise us. Have a look at our favourite LV moments in the gallery above.
By Emily Borrett.
Carrying on from our top 10 fashion moments of 2010, I'm looking at some of the highlights of the various Fashion Weeks that have happened this year. From Alexander McQueen's first runway show under the direction of Sarah Burton, to the oil-slick punk aesthetic at Balenciaga and classic Parisian style at Chanel, each show has been a joy to cover. But when I got down to it and racked my brains for all the collections I've pored over in the last year, I've found that the five collections in the gallery below have been particularly special. Check them out below. If you have any other collections this year that you think especially deserve a mention, have your say and leave us a comment below.
We were excited about the first part of Sonia Rykiel's collection for H&M, which came out last year, and managed to get our hands on enough lingerie to keep us going into 2011.
However we can't wait for the second part, which focuses on knitwear and is out on the 20 February.
To taunt us that little bit H&M has put together a video , which shows how the collection was made and what we can expect to see on the shelves once we've finally pushed our way through to the front.
We're already in love with the bright stripped jumper dresses and our sleeping bags are waiting patiently by the door.
Comparisons are being drawn between Anna Sui's previous collections, and her forthcoming range for Target. The designer has already cited Gossip Girl as inspiration for her Go International line, but clearly her past runways have also provided a good start. Four dresses from her 2006 and 2007 collections have been modified for her new retail range which is set to land in store on September 13. Most of the items will sell for under $50 (woot!) click here to check out the lookbook.

Seasoned guitarist, songwriter and composer Alick Macheso has put out a new album, "Kwatakabva Mitunhu (Kure Kwekure)" which has received mixed reactions from fans with some saying it was a half-baked project while others say it was another masterpiece from the king of sungura.
However, one of Macheso or Extrabasso's long-serving members, Jonas Kasamba, said there were no hard feelings over the sentiments.
"We are happy with the debate that has been generated since the launch of the new album. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we greatly appreciate it," he said.
To ardent fans of the Orchestra Mberikwazvo, the album is as good as it gets especially now that it has triggered a lot of excitement around the dance routine called "Kochekera".
The dance craze has taken over the music scene by storm in the same way Psy (pronounced as Sai) has done on the international scene with his chart topper "Gangnam Style."

"Seriously, that kid is creepy as hell. Pete Vonder Haar, Film Threat
"...[Davey-Fitzpatrick] is beyond perfect...the look on his face is more frightening than all the scary scenes in "Silent Hill" and "An American Haunting" put together... Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
"...smooth, stylish, clever, soulless and a hoot. Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Editor's NoteJohn Moore's remake of Richard Donner's unsettling 1976 horror classic increases the quality of production values, yet stays very true to the original. Live Schreiber (EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED) plays Robert Thorn, a wealthy American official living in Rome, whose wife, Kate (Julia Stiles, MONA LISA SMILE), has just lost her first child. At the behest of a strange priest, Robert substitutes an orphaned child for his own without Kate's knowledge, and soon the small family is living an idyllic existence on a lavish estate in England. But when the child, Damian (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick), turns five years old, strange things begin to happen, beginning with a nanny's public and very grisly suicide at the boy's lavish birthday party. Kate begins to notice odd things about her child, such as the way other children don't want to play with him, his strange provocation of animals, and his increasingly pronounced withdrawal from her. By the time she begins fearing for her life, however, it may be too late, and it's up to her husband to figure out once and for all if the child really is the spawn of Satan. Thus Robert embarks on a journey that takes him back to Italy, Jerusalem, and an encounter with a priest of decidedly horrific mien; he's aided by a photographer who has figured out what's going on, and who just might be the next one to die. The atmospheric, spooky mise-en-scene, marked by an almost constant storm and grey tones interrupted by startling reds, deliciously makes the most of the film's exaggeratedly apocalyptic message. The wonderful Mia Farrow (ROSEMARY'S BABY) is unbelievably creepy as Damian's replacement nanny.

Between Gold and sgallan
Gold gives: BJ Futrell
sgallan gives: Nikko Triggas
I don't know how I feel about this. I think it's a very even trade at this point and both guys could make a lot of noise. I'm sort of expecting Futrell to have a big year because he was very explosive last year as a freshman and I think another year of developing technique will make him very tough.
A similar story for Triggas: Rather than working on the international styles, he stayed in Columbus this summer to work on folkstyle. If he's improved from neutral, he should be very good.

Who is that woman in the police car on The Closer tonight? She sure will look familiar to a lot of people here in Wichita.
Why it's Christine Sementelli. The Wichita woman won a role on the tv show and her episode airs tonight on TNT at 8pm if you want to watch her acting debut.
Christine was the highest bidder for the role during a charity auction benefiting the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County. The CACSC coordinates agencies and helps children during child abuse investigations.
The experience was donated by Mike Berchem, producer of the show. His wife, Mary, lived in Wichita and is the founder of The Brian David Higby Fund. The fund supports activities to help at-risk children.
So Christine told KWCH TV a little about her experience on the show. She played a police officer and will be in three scenes. She says her favorite part of the role was riding with a stunt driver in a police car.
She doesn't know the entire storyline for her episode and is excited to watch it Monday night. She joked "You better watch closely because I may only be on there for a blink of an eye!" She says she has a pretty low-key personality but admits she was thrilled and excited when she saw the TV preview.
Watch Christine tonight (8/6) at 8pm on TNT. But, remember, don't blink!!!!!

Debugging flat thunks generated by the thunk compiler can be difficult because the thunk mechanism is complex and debugging tools capable of tracing through thunks are difficult to use. This article presents an overall strategy for debugging flat thunks, several specific debugging techniques, and a troubleshooting guide that explains how to fix many common thunking problems.
More information
Limitations on What a Target DLL Can DoBefore you get started debugging thunks, keep in mind that there are some limitations on what a target DLL can do inside a thunk. This is because a Win16-based application calling a Win32-based DLL is not a Win32-based process; likewise, a Win32-based application calling a Win16-based DLL is not a Win16-based process. Common specific limitations include:
Why Debugging Flat Thunks Can Be DifficultDebugging flat thunks is difficult partly because the flat thunk mechanism is a complex part of the Windows kernel. Its complexity stems from the fact that it must transform function calls in 32-bit compiled code into calls compatible with 16-bit code and vice versa. Because 32-bit code uses different data types and CPU register sets from 16-bit code, the flat thunk mechanism must translate function parameters, switch stacks, and translate return values. It is optimized for speed, yet must allow preemptive Win32 code to call non-preemptive Win16 code. The thunk compiler makes creating flat thunks much easier than manually creating them, but it isn't foolproof.
Debugging flat thunks is difficult not only because the mechanism itself is complex, but also because the necessary debugging tools are more difficult to master. Application-level debuggers such as the Microsoft Visual C++ debugger and WinDBG cannot trace through thunks because they consist of both 32-bit and 16-bit code and cause the system to claim or release the Win16Mutex. To trace through a thunk, you need to use a system-level debugger such as WDEB386.EXE. The major drawbacks to using WDEB386.EXE are that you need to know Intel x86 assembly language, know how Intel x86 microprocessors work, and remember many debugger commands.
The Best Strategy to UseThe best strategy for debugging thunks is to divide and conquer because is relatively easy and eliminates most of the problems before you need to trace through assembly language code in a system-level debugger. Flat thunks are composed of a Win32-based DLL and a Win16-based DLL, so it is possible to test each of these in isolation before testing them together. Create a Win16-based application to test the Win16-based DLL, and create a Win32-based application to test the Win32-based DLL. Doing so allows you to use a wide variety of debugging tools to verify that each side works properly.
Preliminary Checklist - Before Compiling with the Thunk CompilerOnce you've verified that each side works correctly, it's time to put the two together to test the thunk itself. Before you compile the thunk with the thunk compiler, make a preliminary check of the following items:
Trouble-Shooting Guide - After Compiling with the Thunk CompilerAfter you check the preliminaries, build your thunk DLLs and try to run them. If they run, continue with further testing to make sure they're rock solid. If they don't run, use the following troubleshooting guide to determine and fix the cause of the problem.
ThunkConnect16() in the Win16 or ThunkConnect32() in the Win32 side fails:

Jason Giambi is considering an offer from the Colorado Rockies to be their hitting coach. The Rockies first baseman is trying to decide whether he wants to stop playing and move into coaching, the Denver Post reported. Giambi, 41, was a finalist for the manager's job that went to former Rockies player Walt Weiss. The Post report indicated that Giambi impressed management during his interview for the managerial job. "I am going to take a few days, then talk to the Rockies again because my sole focus was on managing," Giambi told the Post. "I don't know what I am going to do yet. I just need a couple of days to digest everything." Giambi came to the Rockies in 2009 but has seen limited duty, mostly as a backup. Colorado apparently isn't interested in Giambi returning as a player, but ESPN reported that several other teams have inquired about signing him. After the season, Giambi underwent surgery on his left groin in case he wants to play next season and has an opportunity t...
