Wow, Jill! It would be a dream come true to have some map-art in your new book! Looking forward to creating my postcard for you!
Hi, Angie Cope posted your call at IUOMA. I have made you something and wonder do you want it in an envelope or with a stamp on it? I think it is robust enough to go either way.
Oh, how great! I'll be putting on my thinking cap. Thanks for the opportunity to submit!
hi jill…
i have a couple of cards that i have made that i would like for you to see… can i email them to you or do you need them in your hands? No biggie either way… i just wanted to check. ANd, if i send them ; do i get them returned? Thanks

I have a postcard ready for you. It should go in tomorrow's mail. What a great idea, Jill!
i assume there is a deadline of when these need to be mailed by ? sounds like a great fun challenge !

Originally, the Saints had tentatively planned to start Hicks at nose tackle, then cross-train him at end. But they probably shifted gears after drafting nose tackle John Jenkins.

Lately I've been getting into the homebrew scene with my Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.
A strange thing I've noticed in particular with Wii Homebrew is that files and folders are often sorted by the creation date instead of alphabetically. So if I happen to copy over TyrianWii before Asteroids, then Asteroids is on the bottom.
So what I would like is an application that will just modify the creation dates and timestamp of files and folders to get them to sort alphabetically.
Required features:
1) It should handle both directories and individual files.
2) Ideally it should recurse subdirectories. Or make it very easy to navigate a file system and sort all folders & files in a certain directory.
I've heard of something for linux or possibly mac called a Poke that would change the date, but I'm not sure what it is or how it works, and I'm on Windows XP, so it's not an option for me.

After losing Missouri and Texas A&M to the SEC, the Big 12 was thought to be on the verge of extinction, but wound up becoming a tougher league in 2012. Both of the new arrivals, West Virginia and TCU, are ranked in the preseason Top 25, and those teams will challenge Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State and Kansas State for the title. Any of those six can win the league, but can any of them be good enough to play for a national title?
Express-News college football writer Mike Finger breaks down the top players, schedules and games for the Big 12 this season.
Geno Smith, West Virginia: After torching mainly Big East defenses for 4,385 passing yards (fourth in the nation) and 31 touchdowns last season, the Mountaineers' senior quarterback begins his Big 12 tenure as the league's preseason offensive player of the year.
Landry Jones, Oklahoma: Already the Sooners' career passing leader after three seasons, Jones ranked third nationally in passing yards last year. But he needs to cut down on his 15 interceptions, and find a way to thrive without receiver Ryan Broyles.
Alex Okafor, Texas: The Big 12's preseason defensive player of the year racked up seven sacks, 14 tackles for loss and 17 quarterback pressures as a junior. What makes him especially tough to contain is the fact he plays across from Jackson Jeffcoat, who might be the league's second-best defensive end.
TCU: Everyone plays everyone else in the Big 12's round-robin format, but the Horned Frogs were done no favors in the details of their first year in the league. They finish with five consecutive games against teams in the preseason Top 25, including three on the road. Before that, trips to SMU and Baylor both loom as potential trap games.
West Virginia: In terms of spreading out the danger, no team got a better Big 12 draw than the Mountaineers, who only have to make four road trips and get Kansas State, TCU and Oklahoma at home. Their biggest test is a game at Texas on Oct.6, and if they win that, they might become the de facto league favorites.
Oklahoma vs. Texas, Dallas, Oct. 13: The winner of the Red River Rivalry game has finished in the national top 10 in 10 of the past 12 years.
Oklahoma at West Virginia, Nov.17: It'll be the Sooners' first trip to Morgantown, and their first chance to play the Mountaineers since WVU romped to a 48-28 Fiesta Bowl victory following the 2007 season.
Texas at Kansas State, Dec. 1: The Wildcats have a long history of foiling UT, having won four in a row and six of eight against the Longhorns. Mack Brown would prefer to finish the regular season anywhere else.
Wes Lunt, Oklahoma State: The replacement for former Cowboys quarterback Brandon Weeden has never suited up for a college game, but OSU coach Mike Gundy awarded the freshman the starting job after he enrolled early and practiced well last spring. Gundy's quarterbacks always have opportunities to compile big yardage, and Lunt, despite his inexperience, should be no different.

Below is the poem entitled Waiting For Spring which was written by poet
Johnson. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Joyce Johnson
Since spring forgot to come and winter stayed,
My garden is untilled, seeding delayed.
A sodden March ran damply through each day.
I hope for April to remove the gray.
Each April is reserved for tulip tours.
The brilliant colors are delightful lures.
The tulips are attracting avid fans,
While other crops fill in as also rans.
Our valley is a beauty in the spring,
But spring is not here yet and that's the thing.
We pray the sun comes out and is on time
For merchants to attract the tourist's dime.
So now it's up to April to perform
To give us days that are spring like and warm.
So tourists can find beauty and some fun
And I at last can get my yard work done.

Characteristics, Uses and Taxation of Investments - Securities Regulation
b. Regulation - regulation is extensive in the securities industry, both at the federal and state levels.
- The 1933 Act - applies to the required disclosure for the issuance of new securities. Issuers of non-exempt securities must file a registration statement with the SEC. Anyone purchasing a new, non-exempt issue must receive a prospectus.
- Exempt securities include US government securities; municipal bonds; commercial paper and banker's acceptances with maturities of less than 270 days; insurance policies and fixed annuities; national and state bank securities; savings and loan securities and charitable, religious, educational and non-profit association issues.
- Exempt transactions include Regulation A: corporate offerings of less than $5M; Regulation: Private Placements; Rule 147: securities offered and sold exclusively intrastate and Rule 144 (control securities owned by directors, officers or persons owning or controlling 10% or more of an issuer's voting stock/restricted securities: acquired through other than a public offering, e.g. private placement), 144a (the sale of non-registered foreign and domestic securities to qualified institutional buyers e.g. with a minimum of $100M in assets and 145.
- The 1934 Act - the people act, it regulates the secondary market which comprises outstanding securities, trading and the participants in it. The act created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The act requires registration of all firms and persons trading securities on the exchanges and over the counter, registration of the exchanges and the OTC market, regulation of credit by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), regulation of trading activities, regulation of insider transactions, proxies and short sales, regulation of client accounts, the customer protection rule, net capital requirements of broker/dealers and issuers' reporting requirements.
- The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
- The Maloney Act of 1938 - amended the 1934 Act to allow the SEC to create self-regulatory organizations (SROs) or designated examining authorities (DEAs) to monitor broker/dealers not affiliated with a stock exchange. It was here that the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) was chartered as the SRO of the OTC market.
- The Federal Bankruptcy Act of 1938
- The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 - is applicable to corporate bonds with an issue size of more than $5 million within twelve months and with a maturity exceeding nine months. The purpose of the act is to protect bondholders. The issuer is required to appoint a trustee to ensure that the terms of the trust indenture-the series of promises between the issuer and trustee-are fulfilled for the bondholders' benefit.
- The Investment Company Act of 1940 - defines and regulates investment companies. Such companies must register with the SEC prior to issuing any shares to the public; set forth clearly their investment objectives in the registration statement and prospectus; have a minimum $100,000 net worth, have at least 100 shareholders, comply with pricing, sale and reporting standards.
- The Investment Advisors Act of 1940 - regulates investment advisors, defined as anyone who offers investment advice for compensation as part of their business. Broker/dealers fitting the definition must register under the act, investment advisor representatives must register as well and pass the Series 65 (Series 66 if Series 7 licensed) unless a particular advanced certification exempts them from doing so in the state where they register (e.g. Chartered Financial Analysts and Certified Financial Planners may be exempt from the exam requirements, depending on the state in which they practice).
- The Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 - the goal of this act is to protect investors from broker/dealer insolvency or failure. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation is independent and government sponsored. Membership is compulsory for broker/dealers registered with the SEC who pay an annual assessment that funds a pool to meet potential claims for customers from a failed broker/dealer.
Coverage requirements - customer accounts are covered to a $500,000 maximum, of which the cash coverage may not exceed $100,000. Note that the coverage amounts are per customer, not per account. The order of events in a liquidation is as follows.
- Securities held in the customer's name are delivered to registered owners.
- Cash and street name securities are distributed pro rata.
- SIPC funds are paid out to meet any remaining claims up to the per customer maximum.
- Customers with claims exceeding the limits become general creditors of the broker/dealer.
- The Securities Acts Amendments of 1975 - these established the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) which regulates the issuance and trading of all manner of municipal securities.

This cardboard box fort was a bit impromptu. I started off working on next week's craft project – next minute I was rescuing toilet rolls and old boxes and creating my son an 'underwater' fort to accompany his new Lego 'Atlantis' set!
The fort is quite simple, but it does have an escape chute – this is important, it means when the Lego Shark attacks, the little Lego diver can escape by jumping down the tower and sliding out of the secret side exit!
How to make your own cardboard box fort with escape chute
I'm not going to provide step by step instructions, it's too simple for that. But I've added a little illustration above, it shows how the chute needs to run from underneath a tower (made from a toilet roll) to a hole in the side of the box. You'll need to ensure the angle is steep enough for the Lego character to slide down without getting stuck.
Update: Fiona from Neverending Lists had a crack at this project (which according to her four year old is a "farmhouse not a fort") she added some nice modifications, have a look.
If you are using recycled cardboard boxes why not cut down one side and reverse fold them so the unprinted cardboard is on the outside. It's a much easier surface to decorate or paint, you can even use felt-tip pens. One last thing, for more cardboard inspiration check out these beautiful castles created by Anne Wood.

Claude Lynch gets help with the homeless count survey form from VA Social Work Intern Clarissa Bradley and ARCH Case Manager Michael Lewis while taking a survey at the Salvation Army Thursday afternoon. (Lee Talbert/Johnson City Press)
The annual 24-hour count of Northeast Tennessee's homeless population is under way.
Mandated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the count kicked off Thursday and will continue through noon today in Washington, Sullivan, Carter, Greene, Johnson, Unicoi, Hawkins and Hancock counties.
The Appalachian Regional Coalition on Homelessness, HUD's designated Continuum of Care organization for the region, is leading the count and has deployed its staff members and volunteers from many of the 70 local housing and human service agencies aligned through the coalition to shelters, public kitchens, day centers and other homeless service agencies as well as outdoor locations where homeless people are known to camp.
ARCH is also requesting anyone who is aware of a person in the region who is homeless or living in a place not meant for human habitation to call 928-2724 with information on where they can be located, counted and offered assistance.
Dr. Joy Drinnon, chair of the ARCH board of directors, emphasized the results of count are used to secure need-based grant funding for area homeless services and is critical to the mission to end chronic homelessness.
Michael Lewis, a case manager for ARCH, and Clarissa Bradley, an intern with the social work department at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Mountain Home, interviewed approximately 40 homeless individuals at lunch and dinner at the Johnson City Salvation Army kitchen on Thursday and seven at the Johnson City Transit Station. In between, the two canvassed the city's interstate and railroad underpasses, where they found about eight obvious camps but no people.
"We found their stuff — sleeping bags, blankets, flashlights, matches — but no one was there, like they had just left," Lewis said. "What it was is, there's no stretch of railroad with an underpass that doesn't have someone living there.
"Until you see a camp, you don't realize. But what concerned us was finding children's toys in the camps. It's one thing to live outside but to drag a child through that?"
Ironically, the Salvation Army's 85 beds at the shelter for men, women and children were not full, even with Thursday's daytime high temperature below freezing and the overnight low expected to dip into the low single digits.
Jim Stark at Salvation Army's Center of Hope said while the shelter was near capacity and everyone was welcome to spend the day inside because of the dangerous temperatures, empty beds were available Wednesday night. The white flag flying outside Thursday signaled space would be made available even if the beds filled up that evening.
Wendy Ramsey, director of Supportive Housing for Kingsport Housing and Development, spent Thursday conducting surveys at the Johnson City Downtown Day Center on Fairview Avenue and will return to the center this morning.
While the center's day room was at near capacity, Ramsey said most of those there had been surveyed at other sites earlier in the day.
A veteran of the annual count, Ramsey said the data gathered in past years shows about 85 percent of the region's homeless population is in Washington County.
She said the Shelter Plus Care supportive housing program operated by Kingsport Housing is among the region's HUD-funded programs and many of its referrals come from the VAMC, the Downtown Day Center operated by the College of Nursing at East Tennessee State University and Frontier Health's larger offices in Johnson City.
"People gravitate to Washington County because of the services," she said. "There's a lot of generous work done here."

A: Human Hair offers the most natural look and feel. It is remarkably soft with a shine and movement that is not easily duplicated in synthetic hair. It is also extremely versatile. Human Hair can be cut and styled to suit your personal tastes. And while it can be a more expensive pick, with the proper care, it is also more durable and can last over a year.
With technological advances, synthetic hair has come a long way in recent years. In some cases it is difficult to tell the difference -- the denier and texture are such that they feel almost like human hair. As a matter of fact, with some of the higher quality synthetic pieces, you would never know they were not natural human hair if you didn't have the human hair right next to it to compare!

HAMILTON, Bermuda -- Bermuda is preparing for the arrival of Tropical Storm Gabrielle.
The British territory suspended ferry services on Tuesday as wind and rain started to pick up.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says tropical storm conditions are expected late Tuesday, with up to 4 inches of rain predicted.
The storm was centered 165 miles south of Bermuda at midmorning and was moving north at 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Gabrielle is expected to strengthen in the next two days and pass over or near Bermuda by Wednesday morning.
Farther east over the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Humberto's maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph and the storm is expected to become a hurricane.
At 11 a.m. EDT, Humberto was about 220 miles west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands. It was moving west-northwest near 9 mph and was expected to turn toward the northwest later today.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by MIckey22 Is this my size? I love the color and had to make this shoe a part of my collection. Trying the shoes on, they fit, but as I walked, looking in the mirror, there was a lot of room in the back of the shoes as if I was trying to make my older sister's shoe fit. I wear a size 7 and this shoe is a 7 so I am thinking that maybe I should invest in the gadget that prevents your foot from sliding. Otherwise, the color is vibrant and will spice up any outfit. I guess I should also mention the comfort level - very comfortable to wear and walk about. November 16, 2012

Sentences Containing 'undertaker'
After Over the Edge, The Rock was scripted into a feud with The Undertaker over his WWF Championship.
Although he did not win the match, he was impressive enough that when Cena attacked Jordan after the match was over, The Undertaker, with whom Cena was feuding with, came to the ring and helped Jordan to his feet.

Despite Heyman begging McMahon not to let The Undertaker use his cast as a weapon, the request was denied and the match went on as planned.
He chuckled blithely, took off his shining tile, pointed to a notched pink circlet of paper pasted into its crown, with something lettered on it, and went on chuckling while I read,`J. B, UNDERTAKER.'
His earliest work appeared in 1922 as illustrations for "Verotchka's Tales" and "The Undertaker's Garland".
His plans were thwarted, however, by the WWF Champion, Steve Austin, who rescued Stephanie and denied The Undertaker his ransom.
His winning record was decisively ended by The Undertaker on 19 March and he also failed to win the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania XXVI, his first WrestleMania appearance.

If I know, I wish I may land in HUMP YOURSELF, YOU SON OF AN UNDERTAKER!
In Australia, the deceased is cremated in a coffin supplied by the undertaker.
In the main event, The Undertaker defeated Steve Austin in a singles match (with Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon as the guest referees) to win the WWF Championship.
In the United Kingdom, and possibly other countries, the undertaker is required to remove such devices prior to delivering the body to the crematorium, and sign a declaration stating that no hazardous device remains in place.

It is by means of an additional capital only, that the undertaker of any work can either provide his workmen with better machinery, or make a more proper distribution of employment among them.
Leading up to the match, Lesnar broke the Undertaker's hand with a propane tank.
Lesnar had previously cost Undertaker the title in a match against then-champion Kurt Angle, which granted him a shot at Lesnar's title.
Lesnar made it to the final two, with the only remaining entry being a returning Undertaker who entered the match last. Lesnar went on to win the match by eliminating Undertaker, which now guaranteed him a title match at WrestleMania XIX.
Lesnar's rapid rise to the top of WWE in 2002 led to a feud with The Undertaker, which involved a match at Unforgiven.
Like his partner Patterson, Brisco was unable to officiate the entire match after The Undertaker attacked him.
No, sir, they drop off right along there ain't any dull spots in the undertaker line.
Of the produce of a great manufactory, in the same manner, one part, and that always the largest, replaces the capital of the undertaker of the work; the other pays his profit, and thus constitutes a revenue to the owner of this capital.
On May 3, 1999, The Undertaker threw Austin off the stage, and two weeks later, the WWF Champion handcuffed his title challenger to a crucifix, which was raised above the ring.
Patterson, however, was unable to officiate the entire match after The Undertaker executed a chokeslam on him.
Six days after his Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker, Lesnar successfully retained his WWE title in a Handicap match with Heyman at the Rebellion pay-per-view against Edge.

The Undertaker and Austin wrestled inconclusively until Austin hit The Undertaker on the head with a folding chair.

The Undertaker returned to confront Lesnar and accepted his challenge for a WrestleMania XXX match.
The Undertaker's price for Stephanie's return was control over the wrestling organization.

This plot development set up a feud between the two wrestlers, which would be settled in a standard singles match for the Championship at Over the Edge, in which both Vince and his son Shane, who had aligned himself with The Undertaker, would serve as the guest referee.
Vince then came down to the ring as another referee replacement, but when Austin forcefully pulled The Undertaker's head over his shoulders to perform a stunner, Shane prevented him from performing a three count.
With Angle finally out of his hair for the first time in nearly a year, Lesnar returned to feuding with The Undertaker.

This cut and no flat!
Got this cut in my old Vittoria Rubino Pro 3 Clinchers about 500 miles ago, still no flat! Have over 2000 miles and they are good for another 1000 I would guess. Bought a new set because I was worried about this cut, but I'm not going to replace them yet.
So true. I had a very similar dimple-type cut in my Rubino Pro 3 rear tire and still got 3,000 miles out of it, at least half of that after the damage. Reassuring.

Best Buy just did exactly what I suggested JC Penney do in my recent post, "The Lesson Of JC Penney: If No One Cares About You, Your New Pricing Model Doesn't Matter." I agued that JC Penney was solving a pricing problem with a newfangled pricing model when the real problem was brand relevance. Further, I suggested they take a hard look at themselves to find a brand idea first:
"Just answer that question – 'What motivates the decisions you make?' – and you might just find your brand idea, your relevance, your reason-for-being, your brand truth, ready and waiting for a little creative market-exploitation."
Best Buy has done exactly that with their new positioning, tag line, and ad campaign, under the banner, "Making Technology Work For You." Check out one of their new television spots to get a feel for the idea here.
Let's take the tag line on its face. Here's why I think it's powerful for Best Buy.
Making Technology Work For You.
Technology. Technology has always been Best Buy's focus from a product standpoint, so we're building upon a truth. This word alone elevates the brand above all of the products they sell. Technology can change, and will change, but Best Buy is promising to master it all. The focus is not around pricing. It's about technology. And within the context of the rest of the tag line, becomes a dynamic force.
Service. With the word, "Making," the tag line is active, not passive. The brand suddenly shifts from static store with a bunch of stuff in it, to an engaging, dynamic, productive, partner in a human being's interactions with technology. This notion starts to immunize Best Buy from the Amazon "showrooming strategies" because there's no one to talk to at Amazon. No one's going to help you. Sure you can read consumer product reviews, but those rarely talk about the many applications of the products. And technology can be complex, which brings us to…
Pain point. The biggest fear people have with technology is whether it'll work or not. Best Buy will "make technology work." I buy it, makes sense coming from them, and, as long as they can actually deliver it, cool.
Customization. Possibly my favorite part of the line is "…for you." These two words not only finish the thought, "Making technology work for you," these two words imply that not all two people are created equal when it comes to technology because no two people want to use technology the same way. Acknowledging this fact empowers the consumer, compliments them, and admits, in essence, "We don't know how you're going to use it and that excites us." Best Buy is wisely leveraging this insight as a springboard for the television creative (multiple true stories of surprising ways people are using technology).
Fact is, people are doing amazing things with technology these days. My virtual company, Ideasicle, would not exist without it. Technology is a driver of innovation not because of what the technology can do, but because of what you can do with the technology.
And if Best Buy truly delivers on this promise – and judging from the operational investments in training there's reason to believe they will - Best Buy will create a new value transaction with their consumers. A value RadioShack wisely dabbled with during it's "Do stuff" phase, but unwisely abandoned without giving it a chance. A value that may inspire people to actually care about the Best Buy brand. Better yet, to a consumer, which retailer literally has the " best buy" in terms of product pricing will become more of an after-thought, and less the reason for being.
JC Penney could learn from Best Buy's move. I just hope it's not too late for either of them.

Rihanna Covers Esquire Magazine, Named Sexiest Woman Alive!
by Rolls Royce
posted Oct 11 2011 9:25AM
Rihanna looks beautiful on the cover of Esquire Magazine, being named the Sexiest Woman Alive! Check out the interview where she talks about everything from her tour, drinking before the show and Chris Brown…
It was a pretty fascinating scene. Bodyguards, dancers, dozens of people who looked liked they had nothing to do. I saw Jay-Z duck into your dressing room.
I was walking out as he walked in. He was like, "Yo!" I had my tea in one hand and my drink in the next.
You drink them at the same time?
One is tea and one is a shot. I usually like dark liquor — brandy or whiskey — but it's very high in sugar-content and I have some photo shoots coming up, so I had to switch it up to vodka.
Do you live on your bus during a tour?
I hate going to hotels when I'm on tour. I like to stay on the bus. I can sleep, I can shower, I can just pull up right to the venue everyday. I work out. I have a trainer. So, she trains me wherever, whenever. Touring messes with my metabolism, so I have to get tight.
What do you eat on tour?
I'm very stubborn when it comes to food. I don't like to try new things. When I came to America, there were so many different cultures and tastes. I haven't acquired a taste for a lot of things. Like, calamari? Jay-Z had to make me eat it. We have this thing called Taste Test Tuesdays or New Flavor Fridays or Substitute Saturdays.
What happens in your dressing room before a show?
I eat lozenges, steam my voice, do my makeup. I Skype my vocal coach and we sit there at the makeup table and do warm-ups for about a half-hour. Then, Jen, my personal assistant slash bartender, brings me a shot that she dilutes with a little something so it's not so harsh, like orange juice or soda water and lime.
Why do you have the shot?
I have to have it. I take it very seriously, so there is a level of anxiety, always. I overthink everything when it comes to my job. The drink calms my nerves. I sip it while I watch the opening act from my dressing room. Sometimes I go out into the audience. I put on a really big hoodie and sneak out there.

|One of the most frustrating conditions encountered by feline guardians is chronic upper respiratory signs, consisting of varying degrees of sneezing, nasal discharge and congestion / sinus obstruction to varying degrees of eye discharge. While this is most commonly seen in cats and kittens in high stress, crowded situations such as the outdoor stray population, and in shelters or pet shop situations, it can also occur in overcrowded pure bred catteries as well.
The typical first line of treatment often used by veterinarians in most of these cats, include prescription antibiotics like Clavamox, Baytril, and Doxycycline, as well as topical antibiotics for the eyes such as Terramycin. While most cats seemingly respond to these treatments, it is important to realize that in those cats who do respond, it is likely a secondary bacterial infection from bacteria such as mycoplasma, bordetella, feline chlamydia or feline bartonella that are responding. In those cats that either have relapses, don't respond to antibiotics completely, or develop chronic life long symptoms of the airways and eyes, most of these cats are usually suffering from feline herpes virus, known as feline rhinotracheitis virus, and feline calici virus.
In any cats suffering from any chronic infection, it is also important to rule out feline leukemia virus and FIV virus with a simple blood test at your veterinarian's office. And while most vets rely on injectable feline rhinotracheitis virus and feline calicivirus in trying to prevent disease in these cats, many veterinary immunologic experts feel that the injectable form of these vaccinations does not help prevent infection significantly at all, and in fact I have seen an activation and/or worsening of feline rhinotracheitis virus or feline herpes virus after using the injectable form of the vaccination. This is one of those vaccinations, that if you are going to use it, that giving it intranasally works much better than the injectable vaccination mentioned here.
While there is active ongoing research on newer drugs and products on the horizon to hopefully help these struggling chronically infected cats, there are little controlled studies on current effective drugs to treat these cats. I find a more holistic approach seems to work better using immune boosters such as interferon, as well as supplements like Echinacea and goldenseal used periodically on a week on/week off regimen, as well as using an amino acid called L-Lysine which has helped a certain percentage of cats infected with feline rhinotracheitis virus or feline herpes virus.
Vetri-DMG liquid can also help to varying degrees in some cats. The company Vetri-science recently came out with a wonderful chewable combination of DMG and L-lysine known as Vetri-lysine, which I have found quite useful in some cats. There is also an excellent company called Standard Process which makes wonderful feline specific supplements to boost and support the whole body and immune system. Transfer factor is another outstanding immune booster that I have seen help many of these infected cats. While this virus is not contagious to people, many cats can remain carriers of this herpes virus for a lifetime (as occurs in human herpes) and can activate anytime at a later date , often after a physical or emotional stress, including vaccination with the injectable form of the feline rhinotracheitis vaccination.
Given time and patience most cats ultimately will become relatively asymptomatic, seemingly clearing the infection on their own, as their own immune system eventually controls the herpes virus. However, there is a population of cats who develop chronic frustrating nasal and eye symptoms that are difficult to treat; thus the suggestion of some of the complimentary therapies mentioned here.
It is also helpful that during a respiratory flare-up that feline guardians place their cats in a cool or warm air humidified environment (such as steamy bathroom) for several minutes a few times a day, which can help loosen up nasal and airway secretions. This is called nebulization. Some of these cats will also eventually develop symptoms of gingivitis and gum issues, and oral ulcers, as both feline herpes rhinotracheitis virus, as well as feline calicivirus, have been incriminated as two of the many factors involved in oral disease in cats as well.
While the scenario I have depicted above may sound quite ominous, even in cats with chronic respiratory symptoms, other than being chronic snufflers, and guardians needing to get use to living with cats that often do make a mess around the house from their nasal discharges, most of these cats do live a full life, and just need periodic intermittent nursing care in the majority of those chronically infected and as outlined in this blog.

This Week in Petroleum History, December 16 to December 22
December 17, 1884 – Article features Oilfield Thunder and Lightning, Fires and Cannons
"Oil fires, like battles, are fought by artillery" is the reporter's catchy phrase in a New England magazine article.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology publishes "A Thunder-Storm in the Oil Country" – its firsthand account of the problem of lightning strikes in America's oilfields.
MIT not only reports on the fiery results of an lightning strike, but also the practice of using artillery to fight such conflagrations.
Especially in the Great Plains, where new oil discoveries have begun following the Civil War, lightening strikes are igniting oil tanks.
It's a technological challenge for the young petroleum industry, which learns that shooting cannon balls into the base of burning tanks allow oil to drain into a holding pit until fires die out.
The MIT article explains that "it is usually desirable to let (oil) out of the tank to burn on the ground in thin layers; so small cannon throwing a three inch solid shot are kept at various stations throughout the region for this purpose."
Today, several Great Plains museums have cannons donated from oil companies on exhibit to educate visitors. Oil museums in Seminole and Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and El Dorado, Kansas, include these unusual representatives of this early fire-fighting technology. Read more in Oilfield Artillery.
December 17, 1903 – Fueling the Wright's First Flight
A homemade engine burning 50 octane gasoline for boat engines powers Wilbur and Orville Wright's 59 second flight into aviation history at Kittyhawk, North Carolina.
The brothers' genius "mechanician" Charlie Taylor fabricated a 150-pound, 13-horsepower engine in their Dayton, Ohio, workshop. "We didn't make any drawings," Taylor later recalled.
"One of us would sketch out the part we were talking about on a piece of scratch paper, and I'd spike the sketch over my bench," he added. "It took me six weeks to make that engine."
The Wright brothers used Ohio natural gas to power their workshop. A "one lunger" (single cylinder) three-horsepower natural gas engine drove the overhead shaft and belts that turned a lathe, drill press – and a rudimentary wind tunnel.
Natural gas had reached the brothers' printing business from Mercer County, about 50 miles northwest – in an area previously judged by the official state geologist to be "barren."

December 20, 1913 – "Prince of Petroleum" opens Tulsa Refinery
A refinery built by Joshua Seney Cosden – who will become known as the "Prince of Petroleum" – goes on stream in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
With a capacity of 30,000 barrels a day, his refinery is among the largest in the country. It continues operating today. The Cosden Oil Refinery is the oilman's second. He builds on his success by forming companies that acquire and transport oil to the refineries. He amasses a fortune estimated to be $50 million.
However, in 1925 Cosden loses control of his petroleum assets to the Mid-Continent Oil Company. He will make another $15 million in the oil fields of West Texas – but like many others he loses everything during the Great Depression. Although Cosden dies at 59 in 1940, his Tulsa refinery today continues as a part of a Dallas-based corporation.
December 20, 1951 – First Oil Discovery in Washington State
Oil is discovered in Washington when an exploratory well in Grays Harbor County flows at 35 barrels a day. The Hawksworth Gas and Oil Development Company discovers the oil with its Tom Hawksworth-State No. 4 well near Ocean City, Washington.
The well flows at 35 barrels a day with 300,000 cubic feet of natural gas from a depth of 3,711 feet. It is soon abandoned as non-commercial.
Eight years later, in 1967, Sunshine Mining Company reopens the well and deepens it to 4,532 feet in an effort to develop commercial production – but with only intermittent shows of oil and natural gas, the well is shut in again.
Although 600 wells are drilled in 24 counties by 2010, only one produces commercial quantities of oil – the Medina No. 1, completed by Sunshine Mining in 1959. The well is about 600 yards north of the failed Hawksworth-State site.
That Sunshine well, Washington's only commercial producer, is closed in 1961 after yielding just 12,500 barrels of oil.
When it comes to drilling for oil, Washington state is far down on the list of places where petroleum companies wish to explore notes a newspaper in Bremerton, Washington, citing Ray Lasmanis, a geologist with the Washington Department of Natural Resources.
"We would probably be last, or next to last," explains Lasmanis. "The geology is too broken up and it does not have the kind of sedimentary basins they have off the coast of California."

December 21, 1842 – Birth of a Boom Town "Aero View" Artist
Panoramic maps artist Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler is born in Lowell, Massachusetts. Following the fortunes of America's early petroleum industry, he will produce hundreds of unique maps of the earliest oilfield towns of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas.
Fowler is one of the most prolific of dozens of bird's-eye view artists who crisscrossed the country during the latter three decades of the nineteenth century, notes the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas.
"He produced at least 17 views of different Texas cities in 1890 and 1891, but that output is dwarfed by his production of almost 250 views of Pennsylvania between 1872 and 1922," explains the museum's "Texas Bird's-Eye Views" exhibit.
His panoramic maps became a hugely popular cartographic form used to depict towns and cities in great detail. Created without the use of observation balloons, they were marketed as "aero views."
Fowler featured many of Pennsylvania's oil earliest oilfield towns, including Titusville and Oil City – along with the booming oil community of Sistersville in the new state of West Virginia. He traveled through Oklahoma and North Texas in 1890 and 1891 similarly documenting such cities as Bartlesville, Tulsa and Wichita Falls. In total, he produced 426 unique maps.

December 22, 1875 – Grant wants Asphalt for Pennsylvania Ave.
President Ulysses S. Grant urges Congress to repave Pennsylvania Avenue's badly deteriorated plank boards with asphalt.
Grant delivers a "Report of the Commissioners Created by the Act Authorizing the Repavement of Pennsylvania Avenue" to Congress.
The project will cover 54,000 square yards. "Brooms, lutes, squeegees and tampers were used in what was a highly labor-intensive process."
With work completed in the spring of 1877, the asphalt – obtained from a naturally occurring bitumen lake found on the island of Trinidad – will last more than 10 years. In 1907, the road to the Capitol will be repaved again with new and far superior asphalt made from U.S. petroleum.
By 2005, the Federal Highway Administration reports that more than 2.6 million miles of America's roads are paved. See Asphalt Paves the Way.
December 22, 1975 – Birth of Strategic Petroleum Reserve
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is established when President Gerald Ford signs the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
Today, the 727-million-barrel U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the largest stockpile of government-owned emergency oil in the world.
In addition to creating SPR, the 1975 legislation mandated increasing automobile fuel efficiency through a Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard mileage goal of 27.5 miles per gallon by 1985.
SPR was a revolutionary idea in 1974, notes the Suburban Emergency Management Project.
When the newly created Department of Energy assumed management in 1977, "it was generally believed that the mere existence of a large, operational reserve of crude oil would deter future oil cutoffs and would discourage the use of oil as a weapon."
SPR today includes five large underground caverns – naturally occurring salt domes near the U.S. Gulf Coast in both Louisiana and Texas.
The American Oil & Gas Historical Society is a 501 (c)-3 nonprofit program dedicated to preserving the history of U.S. exploration by providing advocacy for organizations that work to preserve that history through exhibition, material preservation – and especially educational programming.

Bruins ace fans 15 Islanders in Whataburger Classic triumph
CORPUS CHRISTI - The New York Yankees once took him in the first round. Two years later, that's unfortunately where the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders ran into him.
UCLA staff ace Gerrit Cole set a career high and a tournament record with 15 strikeouts, bringing his season total to 41 in 25.2 innings, as the undefeated Bruins capped off the opening night of the Whataburger Classic with a 11-3 victory over the Islanders Friday at Whataburger Field.
The 6-4 sophomore, a first-round pick out of high school and a preseason All-America selection, whiffed seven straight Islanders at one point, retiring 12 straight and 13 of his last 15 batters before leaving in the eighth inning.
"I got ahead of hitters and put them away really fast, so the pitch count was down," said Cole, who went 4-0 with a 1.06 ERA last summer to lead the USA National Team to the World Baseball Challenge Championship in Canada. "Early off everything was working, then later [the Islanders] made some adjustments."
Despite adjustments, the Islanders (7-5) still struck out 18 times on the night.
"That's a major league baseball arm right there," said Islanders coach Scott Malone. "But I don't care if you have Roger Clemens, or Nolan Ryan comes out of retirement, you're not going to beat anybody when you strike out 18 times."
UCLA (11-0) came to Texas averaging more than nine runs per game, and a pair of early homers showed that trend wasn't stopping in the Coastal Bend. Sophomore Tyler Rahmatulla's first career home run sailed into the centerfield screen in the first inning, and senior Blair Dunlap led off the third inning with a shot to left.
The Bruins held a 5-0 lead before allowing an unearned run in the fourth inning. Former Calallen Wildcat Jeramie Marek singled to right, reached second on a throwing error, and scored on Matt Holland's ground out.
Three straight singles to open UCLA's half of the fifth inning drove Roy Ferdin (1-1) from the mound. The former Ray Texan allowed eight earned runs in four-plus innings work, after giving up seven earned runs over his last three appearances combined, then yielded the mound to four relievers in five innings.
"We're an outstanding defensive club, but I thought we never took the hit away from UCLA tonight," Malone said. "We never turned the momentum around defensively, and that's probably my biggest disappointment."
Caleb Marx's pinch-hit single off of Bruin reliever Matt Grace drove in Cole's only earned run of the night, and Weston Montgomery's ninth inning, two-out double in the ninth inning gave A&M-CC its final run.
The Islanders take on No. 25 Oklahoma (13-1) Saturday at 1 p.m., then play a Sunday doubleheader with Mississippi State (9-3) beginning at 3 p.m. UCLA faces Mississippi State Saturday at 5 p.m. and Oklahoma Sunday at 11 a.m.

No. 15 Oklahoma 16, Mississippi State 5
It didn't take long for the Sooners to get settled into Whataburger Field, as Oklahoma sent 11 batters to the plate in the first inning, scoring six runs on five hits and three free passes.
Cameron Seitzer was 3-for-3 and drove in five runs, and designated hitter Ross Hubbard was 2-for-3 with 4 RBI for Oklahoma, who scored 11 runs in the first three innings on its way to a season-best 19 hits.
Pitcher Zach Neal tied his season high by striking out eight Bulldogs in six and one-third innings while allowing three earned runs as Oklahoma won its ninth straight contest. Drew Harrison, runner-up to Islander Matt Holland in Thursday's Home Run Derby, added a two-run homer in the Sooners' final at-bat.

13 Shouts - 11,110 Scrobbles
Sloppy Folk started as a collaboration between Shaun Richards and Michael Way in the dirty streets of Jozi. Both being without bands or cash, but having some songs they had written on Acoustic guitar. Thus "THE SLOPPY FOLK" was born. They have recently acquired a new member named Chris Linde who has been jamming stand up bass, mandolin banjo and drinking nearly as much beer as Michael!
