|Laparoscopic surgery of the gastroesophageal junction.

|Incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter mechanism leads to gastroesophageal reflux (GER), which is the most common indication for surgery of the gastroesophageal junction. Evaluation, diagnosis, and the modern surgical treatment of GER are discussed. Evaluation of patients with severe heartburn include upper endoscopy to evaluate the general condition of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; an upper gastrointestinal contrast study for a complete anatomic view of the esophagus and stomach; esophageal manometry to evaluate the function of the esophagus; 24-hour pH monitoring to determine esophageal acid exposure; and a gastric emptying study selectively to determine the presence of a motility disorder. These studies most often prove the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux, hiatal hernia, Barrett's esophagus, peptic esophageal stricture, paraesophageal hernia, or achalasia. The laparoscopic approach to treatments for these include Nissen fundoplication, Toupet fundoplication, Collis gastroplasty with fundoplication, modified Heller myotomy, esophageal diverticulectomy, and revisional operations. These procedures are described in detail. The results of these operations indicate that they are safe and effective and should be considered the new gold standard for correction of gastroesophageal pathology. Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized many procedures traditionally performed through a laparotomy. Although they are technically more difficult and require a significant amount of time and practice for the surgeon to become proficient, it is becoming apparent that for functional surgery of the gastroesophageal junction laparoscopy is the access of choice.

It's bowl season so there must be drama on the Florida campus.
The Gators prepare to play Penn State in the Outback Bowl knowing they will not have Urban Meyer back as head coach. Offensive coordinator and associate head coach Steve Addazio will also be leaving after the bowl game to take over as head coach at Temple. Will Muschamp will be the new man in charge next season and Addazio was unlikely to be retained.
Last year at this time, Meyer was retiring, then un-retiring to take a leave of absence. Despite the drama last season, Florida still went on to destroy Cincinnati 51-24 in the Sugar Bowl.
Florida enters this bowl game with a 7-5 record and is guaranteed to end the season with its worst record in the six-year tenure of Meyer. His previous low-water mark was a 9-4 campaign in 2007, a season that was sandwiched between a pair of BCS championships.
For Penn State, the issue is whether or not Joe Paterno will be back on the Nittany Lions' sideline next season. He turned 84 on December 21st.
Paterno is a living legend who has graced the Penn State sidelines for 61 years, the last 45 of which he as served as the head coach. He owns the most wins in NCAA major college football history (401), bowl victories (24) and appearances (36). Perhaps the one stat that says as much about Paterno's success and unprecedented longevity as any other is his bowl record of 24-11-1. Penn State's bowl record without Paterno as head coach is 3-2-1.
Like Florida, Penn State enters this game with a 7-5 record which ties for the 8th-worst record of Paterno's tenure.
The Nittany Lions defeated only two bowl teams this season, Michigan and Northwestern, though none of the five losses came against teams that failed to earn a bowl slot.
Florida beat four bowl teams - USF, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia - and, like their bowl counterpart, all of the losses came against bowl teams.
Florida is on a 2-bowl winning streak and is 4-1 in its last five bowls. The Gators are 18-19 in their bowl history.
Penn State has won 4 of its last 5 postseason contests and is 10-3 in such games since 1994.
Florida vastly underperformed the computer's preseason expectations. CollegeFootballPoll.com's Congrove Computer Rankings (a.k.a. CCR Top 120) projected the Gators to go 11-1 overall and 7-1 in the conference. They finished just 4-4 in the SEC.
Penn State was picked to go 9-3 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten, but also finished 4-4 in the conference.
The computer favors Florida to win the Outback Bowl matchup by 5.58 points. It is 8-4 in forecasting the winner of Gator games this season and 10-2 with the Nittany Lions. The computer is just 3-8 against the spread with Florida and 4-7 with Penn State. (Such information is tracked for the sole purpose of recording the computer's accuracy in picking games and ranking teams. It is not intended for gambling purposes).
Florida has won both previous meetings with Penn State, both of which came in bowl games. The teams met in the 1962 Gator Bowl and the 1997 Citrus Bowl, now known as the Capital One Bowl.
The Gators are 1-2 in Outback Bowl appearances, all of which took place between the 2002 and 2005 seasons. The Nittany Lions are 3-0 in previous Outback appearances which all took place between the 1995 and 2006 seasons.
The game will be broadcast nationally on Saturday, January 1 at 1:00 p.m. (ET) on ABC from the 65,657-seat Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, home of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Design in Action
The Femme Den points to an array of products that smartly and subtly consider women in their design.
OXO'S GOOD GRIPS TOOLS aren't targeted to women, but adjustable handles, lightweight design, and neutral colors help women feel in control and well-considered.
Clear labels highlight the benefits of SIMPLEHUMAN'S TRASH CANS. Exteriors are smudge-proof, air suspension at the lid ensures a quiet close, and the deep canister fits into the kitchen while holding a week's worth of trash. Those are more enticing to female shoppers than its cubic capacity and stainless-steel finish.
Women tend to be the photo organizers in families. Lightweight and cordless, the HP PHOTOSMART 375 COMPACT PHOTO PRINTER appeals to them with one-touch printing and easy photo sharing.
Unisex skis are a major misstep: Wider hips and looser ligaments make novice women skiers nine times more likely than men to tear their ACLs. K2'S LUV WOMEN SKIS are specifically tailored to the female physique, without being hot pink.
The NESPRESSO ESSENZA D90 skips a techy interface for intuitive design, and it lets the user customize cups for guests with minimal effort.

Love the K2 Womens Skis, I hear that K2 are also now making snowboards specifically tailored to the female physique
50% of the designs mentioned here are kitchen and "happy homemaker" items. Why not explore further into the world? Other things that women use outside the home? This list almost seems as though it was written by a man! What's next? "The handle on the new GE appliances are nice and small for dainty hands and too fragile for the grip of a man?" Or, "Gee, this new ironing board is light-weight and I'm able to iron my husband's shirts easier!". Come on....in a series of blogs about "equality", the exploration into design should go further away from the kitchen and other "Mommy" items, no? Let's celebrate equality amongst all people and not play into stereotypes or divisive thinking. -----I'm the Cold Wiz

sounds likes it.
there is only a certain amount of mouse and rat catching a cat can do.
yes that's what it is and its lovely
it needs a bit of tender loving caring as in pruning.
they like lime free soil and water when really dry and feed with liquid feed they don't like frost.
you need to get the families and children to get donations of flowers or cuttings from family and friends and get fathers to build flower beds and dig etc ,you can get a lot of free timber from skips .You cant keep on expecting firms and supermarkets to provide for your ideas and schemes,they are not bottomless pit of money and it will be more rewarding if everyone involved plays apart in making this garden.
you would need to read the label it came with as it will not fruit otherwise, and yea it is an attractive plant lovely leaves and little red type flowers ,I like it .
you either leave them or dig them up and put in a pot or tub and cover with soil (to prevent drying out and wet occasionally and leave in shed till autumn but its best to leave them if you can and divide if need be.

Day 124: Bageleggs
We played hard today. Awake at 6:30, we organized the basement (or disorganized it in an attempt to begin organizing), cleaned out a couple church sales (which contributed to the already dire basement situation), made peanut butter puffed wheat squares for my niece's yard sale and lemonade stand, played in big buckets of water, jumped on the trampoline, had pizza and drank lemonade squeezed fresh to order using an antique juicer my sister picked up somewhere. It was the best lemonade stand in Calgary, with its pyramid of fresh lemons, sugar and pitcher of ice water, handmade signs, chocolate cupcakes and puffed wheat squares. I wish I had my camera.
Afterward, W slept right through dinnertime, woke up at 7 and still refused to get out of bed. I doctored up the leftover fusilli from last night, baking it with cheese to bring him up to share in bed. He had a meltdown that it wasn't eggs and toast, so after briefly trying to explain that I wasn't running a restaurant (it seems he doesn't quite grasp the concept of eating out yet) I finally relented and made bageleggs.
We grew up with bageleggs. My mom started making them in Toronto, where there were bagel shops on every block. When we moved to Calgary in the late 70s, there was not a bagel to be had. My Toronto dentist had told me if I ate a bagel a day I would never need braces, and for awhile I thought this stupid new city where everyone wore cowboy hats and didn't have swimming pools at school or know what a bagel was would force me into a headgear for a big chunk of my precious elementary school life. Then we found Bagels & Buns on 17th Avenue.
You make a bagelegg by slicing a bagel in half and putting it cut side down into some butter and oil in a hot skillet (a bit of both to keep the butter from burning, and because butter is delicious and oil is good for you) and breaking an egg into the middle. (Sometimes, when you get one of those bagels with hardly any hole, you need to tear it open a little.) Baste the top as it cooks, or flip it over easy; my method of choice. I haven't had a bagelegg in years, and forgot how much I love them. The bottom gets all crunchy, and the sides of the bagel hole protect the yolk from breaking until you want it to.
(Of course I ate my way through half a pan of puffed wheat squares before we even got to the bageleggs.)
Puffed Wheat Squares (Plain or Peanut Butter)
1/4 cup butter or non-hydrogenated margarine, or 1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
8 cups puffed wheat, or 7 cups puffed wheat and 1 cup salted peanuts
Lightly spray the inside of a large bowl with nonstick spray. Put the puffed wheat (and peanuts, if you're using them) into the bowl and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, corn syrup, brown sugar and cocoa over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over the puffed wheat and stir to coat evenly. Press into an ungreased 9" x 13" pan and refrigerate or leave at room temperature until set. These are easiest to cut at room temperature.
Makes 20 squares.
Per Square (without peanuts): 106 calories, 2.4 g fat (1.5 g saturated fat, 0.7 g monounsaturated fat, 0.1 g polyunsaturated fat), 21.2 g carbohydrates, 6.2 mg cholesterol, 0.9 g protein, 0.6 g fiber. 20% calories from fat
Buttery Chocolate Corn Pop Squares: Replace puffed wheat with an equal amount of Corn Pops cereal. Fat content remains the same. (These are SO GOOD.)

Before reading your Blog I'd never heard of a Bagelegg, but I just made one and I LOVE IT. I like my bagel toasted before it hits the pan and the yoke comes out perfect every time. Thank you for this new breakfast favourite!

Gosh dang, I'm glad I found this… googled bagelegg along with a few other word combos with no luck, emailed my dad to ask how to make them, then went back to searching and found this, they were yummy as heck aside for the yolk being slightly undercooked, I've turned away from runny yolk in my maturity… Don't forget the cheese! Thanks Julie 😀

Wonderful idea!! Love it. Just telling my grandchildren I was going to make bageleggs got them all enthusiastic before I'd even started. That's a new family classic, now.
Hey,Julie, have you ever tried to make lox and bagels? It's a breakfast I really love. I'd be interested to see your twist on it.

(Breakfast was bagels from the Six Hundred Degree Bakery – a naturally leavened, wood fired bakery here in Tofino – some of them turned into bageleggs.) […]

Campbell shared the news with her leadership team at Benson. Superintendent Smith sent an email Friday to Benson staff and families explaining her decision to ask Campbell to make this transition. Campbell followed up with a personal email. An emailed announcement to Grant staff and community members included an invitation to meet their new principal.Campbell is former Grant teacher
"Looking for the right person to build on Vivian Orlen's work at Grant, Carol Campbell immediately jumped out," Smith said.
Campbell taught science at Grant from 1998 to 2007, after serving as a teacher and athletic director in St. Charles, Missouri for 15 years. She went on to lead Newberg High School's Silver School, one of four small schools on the Newberg campus where she held high expectations for every student and made it her focus to know every student's story.
"Her work in Newberg paved her way back to PPS in 2011 when I selected her to lead Benson High School at a crucial time as we implemented High School System Design," Smith said.
To even out enrollment and strengthen neighborhood high schools so that all students could access a rigorous and robust core program regardless of where in the city they live, PPS closed the three small schools on the Marshall Campus, turning Jefferson into a middle college focus program and capping enrollment at Benson starting in the fall of 2011.
Building on Benson's strengths
"Carol has been an effective advocate for Benson," Smith said. "She deepened and added new partnerships – including with Oregon Institute of Technology - and supported the Benson staff's creativity and talent including teachers Katie Meyer and Linda McLellan's Fit to Live & Learn program that earned state and national recognition."
Smith indicated that Campbell's advocacy and all that she put in place will continue to serve Benson as Smith considers ways to continue building on Benson's strengths
PPS is inviting Benson staff and community members to weigh in on the characteristics they want to see in their next leader in an online survey (click "weigh in") or at a meeting Monday, July 22 at 6 pm at Benson. Smith said a new Benson principal would be selected before the start of school.
Campbell said that while she is excited to lead the school where she taught for so many years, the transition is also bittersweet. She will be wrapping up work in July at Benson and then transitioning to Grant and will assist the next Benson principal when he or she is selected.
"It is very difficult for me to leave Benson," Campbell wrote to her staff and community. "I have grown to love the unique programs at Benson and have learned a lot about the importance of providing opportunities for students to explore a variety of career possibilities. Benson is a special place and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to a part of this amazing school community."

There has been recent media commentary involving flight crew sleeping while in charge of an aircraft. These have been based on a report filed with the CAA by the airline concerned, subsequently released by the CAA following a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Following clarification from the airline concerned, the CAA is satisfied that while this was a reportable event, and both pilots were concerned they were suffering symptoms of severe fatigue and took controlled rest separately, they did not fall asleep at the same time. It was right that the airline reported this to us after one of the pilots raised their concerns. The airline is now taking steps to adjust its rostering arrangements for flight crew.
The safety reporting procedures are designed to help us enhance aviation safety and ensure we base our actions on the best information available. Aviation safety is our number one priority and we will take all necessary action to ensure that reportable events are carefully considered and where problems are identified, lessons are learned.

The breaks partially aimed at diversifying the state's economy will kick in on July 1
Associated Press
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jun 12, 2013
Gov. Neil Abercrombie has signed a law increasing tax credits for filmmakers to help expand Hawaii's movie industry.
The law, which goes into effect July 1, extends film tax credits until 2019. It boosts the credit to 25 percent from 20 percent on the neighbor islands, and to 20 percent from 15 percent for projects on Oahu.
Movie productions will be able to claim a credit of up to $15 million.
Advocates of the measure have said it will help diversify Hawaii's economy, which relies greatly on tourism and the military.
Maui County Council Chairwoman Gladys Baisa told state legislators who deliberated the proposal that the larger tax credits will help compensate for the high cost of producing movies in Hawaii. She said the measure will add needed jobs for local people.
The Tax Foundation of Hawaii, an educational nonprofit organization, has been highly critical of the tax credits.
"Taxpayers should be insulted that lawmakers can provide breaks for film productions but refuse to provide tax relief for residents, many of whom work two or three jobs just to keep a roof over their head and food on the table," the organization wrote in testimony submitted to the Legislature.
The group called the credits "a drain on the state treasury" and said the money would be better spent on school infrastructure repairs, social programs or tax relief.
Hawaii has been the site of popular TV shows and films including "Lost" and "The Descendants."

It's going to be strange playing 2 straight opponents who don't have a real QB playing the position for FSU.
Anxious to see at least the first quarter of Aggies/Tide. Hope Johnny F makes it fun.
**** bye weeks :(
The helmets Rutgers will be wearing Saturday vs. Army.
I think those helmets are pretty cool for a 1 time thing. Especially with all of the **** NJ and NYC has gone through in the past week.
I think they're pretty cool looking. But yea it's kind of hilarious that they'll be decked out in American flags while playing a group of guys that are all going to be officers in the Army.
Why does every MAC team have to blow it once they get ranked? Was hoping there was a chance next week's Toledo - Northern Illinois team could have been between ranked teams.
Nice try Freeman.
VT takes the lead 22-20 with 2:19 left in the game.
Holy **** what a TD Rashad Greene.
Logan Thomas INT seals it for FSU.
Nice to finally win a game while playing like total crap on the road.
Game next weekend in College Park, but with Maryland's Linequarterbacker not exactly much reason for concern.
I'm looking quite forward to this Saturday. First time I'll be on an ESPN3 broadcast (Western Illinois vs. Youngstown State, 2 PM ET/1 PM CT). I'm the color commentator and hopefully one or two of you are interested enough to tune-in! YSU does have a few draft prospects.
+rep if you say nipple on air.
If you want, I can say Williams upwards of 20 times though. Youngstown State has 6 players with the last name Williams, including two of their starting linebackers (including Travis Williams, The U transfer), and Andrew Williams, who has 15 receptions and 204 receiving yards over the last four games, second most receptions and most receiving yards on the team in that span.
Also, Youngstown State does have two guys on offense who I guarantee will be in NFL camps this summer in RB Jamaine Cook and OG Lamar Mady. I think Mady is very underrated and should get drafted. Cook is a very good all-around back. Very thick lower body, runs hard, great vision, solid quickness and speed, good, natural receiver out of the backfield. I think both deserve to get drafted because Cook could be a nice back-up guy at the next level and Mady has potential. I wrote about him last year after his very first game and thought he had all the tools, was just raw. He's improved, still needs work, but not many guards move as smooth as he does for his smooth and get to the second level so easily.
This is not a game, as an Aggie, I have been looking forward to ever since we joined the SEC.
I don't think it will be that bad Brent. You guys got a lot of ballers on that team.
Mississippi State believed too lol.
UM-Northwestern could be a pretty nice matchup with denard out today

Strict, conservative,
I enjoy what I do but Randstad is so very strict with everything. An example, if you put a picture of your family on your desk it has to be in an approved picture frame! That's nuts!
$38,000. Very happy with the compensation!

$38,000. Very happy with the compensation!
Strict, conservative, competitive, high-pressure,
Very hard sales driven. "Good to know you" is not really the goal anymore. It is very much "good to get your business." Required to make a certain number of sales calls and visits to prospective clients that you have not met with yet. I sometimes feel like a telemarketer.
$37,000+, quarterly bonuses, reimbursed for mileage and expenses
Cut-throat, political, high-pressure, bureaucratic,
Great job to get experience to move to a better company/job. Great training in place to allow you to be successful...however the CEO and upper management are clueless to how to be successful. All employees are completly over worked and underpaid. I'm jumping to the first opportunity I get to get away from this company. I would rather ride on a garbage truck than to be a pawn for this company. Sales goals are to high to reach because staffing consultants have to many jobs to do at the branch level. As a staffing consultant you will be responsible to make sales calls, visits, presentations, proposals, compliance, HR for employees, pay roll, admin work with in the office, filing, recruiting, interviewing, all the while the phones are ringing constantly, people walk in constantly, and they wonder why you haven't made any calls for the day. The business model that they have is completly flawed. A salesperson should sale, a recruiter should recruit, and a receptionist should act as a gate-keeper to protect others and advise. The offices are leanly staffed, my office has/had 2 people managing 85-100 employees....on top of that we recieve 100+ calls a day, 30-50 walkins a day, and with all this we are expected to make sales calls while managing all this. Upper management is a joke, they are completly out of touch with their employees and reality.
Pros--pay is ok. Benefits are great. You will get much experience in sales, recruiting, HR, and how to run a business.
Cons---where should I start. You will work long hours
you will never be compensated for your hard work(they find ways not to give you your bonus.
The phone never stops ringing, the only way to move up in the company is to be a branch manager and this is the hardest job in the company. They will shit on you time and time again. As a branch manager you will be responsible for the numbers and managing the office and also you will act as an agent. So you are playing both as a manager and agent. Completely not worth it. I believe in work, however one should be rewarded, don't expect it here.
Randstad and Yacht are the worse company I have ever worked for. The company is full of sneaky managers that only think how to make their own success. They don't care about their self, not about the company and not about the people who are working under them. Those managers make promises they never follow up or they are replaces by other managers. They don't care about sustainable business, because after a short period they are gone. Working for Randstad and Yacht do suck big time for me!
There are only cons working for Randstad and Yacht.
Hierarchical, strict, cut-throat, disorganized, political, high-pressure, bureaucratic, unprofessional,
During the Spherion and Randstad merger, a lot of innovations were carried over from Spherion to Randstad
Back Office technology tools are some of the best in the business, with constant updates and new tools added
Randstad US has borrowed the good reputation of Randstad Holdings from Europe (if it can keep it)
So many internal company divisions and departments, one feels like they are always learning
Large and varied client base makes working for Randstad fun at times re: client engagement
Impressive promotional swag and professional publications available for clients
Good opportunity for young professionals to try to work for a large corporation
Randstad owns a Clipper Ship and race car!
IT Department is skillful and expedient
55 year anniversary!
Randstad is so heavily metrics based, it has completely forgotten the people element of the people business
Employees at VP level are promoted rapidly while managers or below wait years without promotion
Ridiculously high percentage of internal turnover at every career level, due to unattainable metrics
Turnover causing overwork, loss of bonus, and eventual quitting of most experienced employees
Bonus structure heavily based on factors outside an employee's direct control
Toxic and immature management who rule by finger-pointing, fear, and blame
Micro-managed workplace breeds frustration, discontent and paranoia
Zero communication or strategy from senior "management"
Only company-sanctioned items may be placed on desk
Extremely bureaucratic and inflexible organization
Lower salary than competition and few perks. Bonuses are carefully designed to be unattainable.

Uncertainty over Zuma jet dealComment on this story
Johannesburg - The department of defence declined to comment on Friday on reports that it was finalising the purchase of a luxury VIP jet for President Jacob Zuma.
However, there are suggestions that no such deal is on the cards.
"The (defence) minister (Nosiviwe Mapisa-Naqkula) will engage the media on the projects and programmes (of the SA Defence Force) in a week's time, after a briefing on these," said defence communication head Siphiwe Dlamini.
He declined to comment further.
According to media reports, the jet would cost $150 million (about R1.26 billion) and an extra $80m to reconfigure.
Also included in the deal was a Global Express 600 costing $28m for the deputy president, bringing the total bill for VVIP transport to $258m.
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj referred queries about the reported deal to the defence department.
The saga has provoked an outcry from the Democratic Alliance, which says spending R2bn on an aircraft is wrong, given South Africa's levels of poverty.
"Before you make assumptions, first verify (with the department). You are assuming they're spending it... There was no such deal on the table," said Maharaj.
He said there was no provision on the budget for such expenditure.
He then declined to comment further.
It is understood that while the defence ministry might have looked at providing a VIP jet for Zuma, no commitment has been made, nor is likely be made to actually purchase one. – Sapa

Markaya Posey, 6, of Fort Myers, holds a stuffed Palmer the turtle. She was introduced to Palmer while a patient at Golisano Children's Hospital.
- Filed Under
Any kid in a new environment can be shy. When the environment is the hospital and the children have cancer, it takes a special talent to make them comfortable.
At the Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida, that's where Palmer the turtle comes in.
As many as 300 kids and counting have been coaxed out of their shells by a creation of Fort Myers resident Bob Storms. Palmer is a green and tan plush turtle with a zipper down his middle, who comes out of his shell, too. When kids first come to the hospital, they are admitted to the Palmer the Turtle Club with a certificate and a stuffed animal. ...

Jet Pet Resort now rewards pet owners who take the time to share their secret boarding and pet care solution with a friend.
Vancouver, British Columbia | March 15, 2013
Pet owners in Vancouver (and across British Columbia) are often faced with a serious dilemma before traveling for either business or leisure. Where do they keep their pet while away? Traditionally that question has been answered by only 2 viable options: a jail-like pet kennel or with a trusted friend or family member. Understanding the need for better pet care options and facilities, Jet Pet Resort (http://www.JetPetResort.com) has designed a 5 star pet resort, spa and day care facility catering primarily to dogs and cats that is a welcomed alternative for pet owners whose cherished pets require a little more attention and pampering. And Jet Pet Resort has just created a new program to reward its clients for their valued referrals.
Pet owners who have discovered the exceptional amenities that Jet Pet Resort offers are likely to either 'tell the world' or to closely guard their secret. To that end, Jet Pet Resort has started a campaign to convince their customers to 'share the secret' and has just launched an original and innovative new referral program called Resort Rewards . "We have two types of pet owners that come to Jet Pet Resort. The first is 'The Sharer' – the pet owner who will tell everyone about us and the wonderful experience their pet had at Jet Pet Resort. Then there is 'The Secret Holder' – the pet owner who does not want to let anyone else know about our incredible facility so they don't want to let the secret out." says Michael Maenck, General Manager of Jet Pet Resort which is located just minutes away from the Vancouver International Airport.
To encourage sharing the secret pet owners who now refer a friend to Jet Pet Resort will be entitled to receive one of three rewards for their pet; a FREE overnight stay, a FREE day of daycare, or even a FREE Spa service. "We think that we have created a program that will cater to both types of our client very well," continues Maenck. "Not only will the motivation to receive a value added incentive be there, but they can 'bank' their rewards for multiple stays and services. Telling people about Jet Pet Resort will now really pay off!"
In addition to sharing their wonderful experiences with pet-owning friends, pet owners are also encouraged to remind their friends that they will qualify for the Jet Pet Resort new guest special offer. All first time guests have an opportunity to try the facility out for just $27 a night for small and medium pets and just $37 a night for the 'not so small' pets – up to 7 nights stay. Included for the guest is a luxurious private suite, with a minimum one walk per day, play time in the indoor and outdoor play areas, access to treadmills and plasma TV's and plenty of love and attention. In addition to the special trial offer, new clients are invited to try out The Spa at Jet Pet Resort, a state-of-the-art grooming and care facility and receive $10 off grooming. This special rate is subject to blackout periods and is good until December 14, 2013.
"When people talk about Jet Pet Resort, I want them to remember and share all of the wonderful excitement, energy and impressions they had when they walked through our doors the first time." says Cam Dahl, Owner of Jet Pet Resort. "Pet owners often sacrifice and give so much for their pet; it's about time that they get something significant in return for their recommendation."
About Jet Pet Resort
Jet Pet Resort (http://www.JetPetResort.com) is a pet-centred resort, spa and daycare facility that is specially designed and built with a pet's comfort, care and relaxation in mind. Open 7 days a week, it features 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor pet resort and spa amenities it is uniquely designed for pets and features individual dog & cat suites, lounges with plasma TVs & web cams, full service kitchen, a state-of–the-art pet spa and indoor & outdoor lounge areas.

The Artificial World Around Us Lucy Kavaler drawings by Gloria McKeown Have you ever gone to a supermarket and been lured straight to the shelves of packaged cake by the artificial smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns? Have you ever been to a used car dealer and been surprised that the second-hand cars smell new? Do you know that hardware, automotive parts and machinery can be made out of plastic instead of metal? Do you know that diamonds, rubies and emeralds need not come from a mine? Do you know that America's favorite ice cream is flavored with wood pulp and many soft drinks owe their sweetness to coal? Do you know that you can satisfy your hunger without food? The Artificial World Around Us introduces the fascinating world born in a test tube. Some of the discoveries made in the laboratory provide only pleasure or comfort. But most of them serve a real purpose in these times of rapidly expanding population and rapidly diminishing natural resources. Published by The John Day Company, 1963. Hard cover, no dust jacket. 125 pages. Stamped inside front cover, library pocket inside back cover, a bit of wear to corners. A little discoloration at bottom of spine. But very clean and neat for an ex-library book. Under 1 lb.

Angry And Sad At The Same Time
Posted 30 August 2010 - 03:14 AM
Posted 30 August 2010 - 03:39 AM
Apologies, but I can't remember asking you before - are you being professionally treated at the moment? Any medication? Psychiatrist?
I ask because what you're describing there sounds (to my non-professional self) quite a bit like a mixed-state, which is often associated with Bipolar (but can be other things too).
Bipolar sometimes leaves us in a state where we are sad and negative about everything, but still filled with this angry, anxious energy, and it often leaves us lashing out at those around us and at the same time feeling terrible.
This isn't unique to bipolar, but I'm just familiar with bp since I *am* bp
If you're not currently being professionally treated I'd really recommend doing everything you can to get treatment, because if it is bipolar or something like that, it can be a serious issue, and mixed states are one of the most dangerous states for someone to be in (to themselves).
Best wishes
There is always hope.
Posted 30 August 2010 - 10:22 AM
You certainly sound frustrated. Anger at someone leaving us in normal - even when they have no choice like in death but the focus needs to be on your getting a job, yourself together & I completely identify w/not wanting to interact w/anyone. I have been the same way & the anger too..I hope you are getting assistance..if not medications at least someone to talk to. I assure you, you are not alone in how you feel, it may seem that way but here is a whole site dedicated to those of us on the same or similar path.
Hi forum! Today I feel bad. It mostly started later in the day today. I went to go pick up some take out so I could eat dinner. As soon as I had to go it started raining outside, I got drenched. Then people can't drive in the rain and they cut me off down the road. I'm so sick of it raining here everyday it sucks! Every time I have somewhere I need to go it starts raining! Then after all that I brought the food inside the house and my parents were home. My dad got after me for coming in the house with my shoes on I was in a hurry to get inside and get changed after being outside in the rain. I told him to bleep it. Then I sat down to eat and the weather was on. I was furious! The weather man was on tv and I said those mother bleepers don't care if it rains all day because all the are worried about is there bleeping lawns! I was swearing up a storm. My mom got after me of course lol. Later on I had to go to 2 different stores to pick up food and other things. I was still angry! I was in no mood to go to the store I did not want to be bothered with anyone! All I could think about is how my life sucks having no job, no friends, and my gf leaving me. I am sorry to say this but I hate her for leaving me she is such a Biotch! I am very angry at her! Then I got home later and the anger just turned into sadness I just cried for a while and melted. I felt really bad! I hate my life so much! I am sad, angry, worried, I hate myself! I hate everything anymore. I'm just so alone. I don't mean to be angry I just get very mad. I have woke up that way before too. I'm really a nice guy inside I have just been through so much hurt in my life. Thanks for listening! :)
Posted 30 August 2010 - 10:29 AM
feeling angry is a natural emotion...its just being able to control it
and not overcome us which can be difficult at times.

"Bear Spray" meaning spraying shots in the bears direction right? I have seen that work! Haven't seen the canned stuff used before, I prefer a side arm.
Maybe this isn't the right spot, but anybody personally or had a buddy or acquaintance stop a black bear or grizz with bear spray? I could see deterring a black bear, but seems like it could be tough to turn away an angry grizz
"Bear Spray" meaning spraying shots in the bears direction right? I have seen that work! Haven't seen the canned stuff used before, I prefer a side arm.
There was actually a pretty good thread on here a few weeks back. I learned a lot.
Basically the experts say that you are less likely to get hurt using bear spray than a weapon.
I do know that bear spray is not designed to incapacitate just irritate.
Human spray incapacitates.
In that regard, I think it would have a similar effect on a grizz as a black bear, although if either one is absolutely going to attack you the spray is not going to stop them. It probably would lessen the attack.

I had a good friend have to empty a full can of bear spray on a griz while guiding...she ran through 3 different spray sequences on different charges...he eventually had to put her down with his .45-70 at ten feet...it took four shots. .game and fish determined it was self defense when they investigated..as it was. . I personally carry my .44mag with snake shot in the first two chambers and 340 grain in the next 4. . I'm around grizzlies alot during summer and fall...if they want to come for you, they will. Just my thoughts from lots of close experiences
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
Never had to use it and hope I never do... knowing my abilities with a pistol though the spray is a better option. 12 gauge, 45-70, or some other long gun would be my weapon of choice.
I am in the same boat as Grizz with a pistol. I would probably just as far ahead to carry a spear as a pistol.
In 99% of all the lion attacks I've read, the cat attacks before the victim ever knows it's there. Most of the encounters were the cat was seen before attacking eventually turned tail. I said "most". Not sure we're I read it but a revolver is the #1 pistol for bear/cat attacks. When attacked you can point blank fire without jamming, if that thing is trying to kill me, I'm gonna try and do the same.

Kidnapping survivor Jaycee Dugard said the women who went missing about a decade ago and were found at a Cleveland home need a chance to recover.
"These individuals need the opportunity to heal and connect back into the world," she said in a statement released through her publicist. "This isn't who they are. It is only what happened to them. The human spirit is incredibly resilient. More than ever this reaffirms we should never give up hope."

a still from Chalmers Safari.
and Chirps
Meisha Rosenberg
George Arts Project, Courthouse Gallery, through Aug. 14
Animals are everywhere: as pets, on the grass margins of our
highways, and as meat on a dinner plate. Over the past few
decades, theorists from Peter Singer to Donna Haraway have
convincingly argued that how we relate to animals is crucially
important morally. Many have pointed out that we humans are
also animals. Artists have always been fascinated by animals
beautiful and varied forms, and increasingly, animals have
taken a central place in art, often as symbols of environmental
Lake George Arts Project tackles animal themes for a second
timetheir first show about animals, Zoo: Artists Look
at Animals, was in 2005and this new incarnation is a
mostly successful look at some of the issues raised by those
furry, scaly, and crawly creatures in our midst. Its also
a showcase of some impressive talents. Its a bit of an everything-and-the-kitchen
sink show, as curator and the Projects director Laura Von
Rosk explained: It morphed, from an annual call for submissions,
into something bigger when she discovered the animal theme.
With our anthropomorphizing of animals as cute cuddly likenesses
in popular movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua and
now, God help us, G-Force (with talking guinea pigs),
its difficult to get at anything resembling their truth,
and different artists take varied approaches to the problem.
Some make use of irony, as with Adelaide Paul, whose fascinating
porcelain sculptures (here a small pink dog on a heart-shaped
pillow, Bitch II, and an untitled standing horse) are
often covered in stitched leather, and Mary Kenny, whose small
mounted animal heads bring to mind taxidermy and toy animals.
Both are thought-provoking, although they dont approach the
apocalyptic animal rights visions of, for example, Sue Coe.
Also darkly ironic are David Iseles four wonderfully wacky,
sinister boxes posing animals as daffy constructs. In his
Making Ducks (2007), ducklings are yellow dime-store
puffballs framed by tree bark; in A Dinosaur Goes to the
Museum (2007), a cartoon dinosaur visits its metal-boned
forbears. The overall effect is like a box Joseph Cornell
might make after taking acid and watching Night at the
Related to these gestures of the absurd, animals are objects
of fantasy in Amy Rosss surreal watercolor collages of birdshrooms
(birds with the heads of mushrooms, realistically rendered).
And three masterful paintings by Patricia Bellan-Gillen explore
animal symbology: in Stealing God, a gorgeous white
monkey floats on an equine inner tube, while in Crossing/After
Patinir (2008), Renaissance-styled saints row a boat on
a textured sea of smoky pinks alongside turtles with torches
on their backs.
Still in a dream world, but taking a turn for the more conflicted,
are Jason Bronners small nightscapes of snarling canids and
Andrew Johnsons collaged images of gazelles confronting helicopters.
Here we get glimpses of animalitya quality of violence we
think of as coming from the beasts but which might be just
as much human. Beauty and terror were most satisfyingly embodied
in videos from Catherine Chalmers superior American Cockroach
project: Cockroaches survive in Gas Chamber, while
Safari plunges viewers underwater to watch a white
frog devour a bug wholethe camera is so close, we can almost
feel the frogs digestive processes begin. The soundtrack
(cockroaches whisper and giggle; antennae beat like drums)
enhances the effect.
Others approach the subject of animal life with Zen-like reverence:
Catherine Hamiltons ink drawings of a rabbit and a squirrel
are so whispery-soft and precisely realized you could easily
think they were in pencil. Similarly, Barbara Moodys charcoal
drawings of goats (Moving On, 2008) and rabbits (Should
We? 2007), would be at home in a lushly printed childrens
book, while Ann Lovetts close-up color photographs, framed
by ocular circles fading to black, evoke, somewhat heavy-handedly,
vanishing species. Reet Das beautifully detailed 80-inch
wide collages of anatomical hearts and a skeleton intertwined
with rats, woodpeckers, and schools of fish argue for human-
animal interdependence.
With 15 artists jostling for attention in one room, unevenness
is inevitable. And without wall text, context is often lost:
Looking at Deborah Browns oil paintings, for example, you
might not know theyre part of a larger series envisioning
animals in places that used to be their habitats. A video
from Michael Pestels Ornithology Series, in which he creates
music for and with birds, needed more background. While its
less provocative than it might be, given that the exhibition
tries to do several things at once (please a popular audience,
showcase contemporary artists, think about animals), it does
an admirable job.

I've worked around horses for about 9 years now. Started out just spending time with the horses in the the field next to me. Then started working with them, training the foals and looking after the pregnant mares for their owner. Just last spring I finally got my own mare - an 18 (now 19) year old QH.
When I first started working with the horses and especially the adorable foals I always wanted one of my own! I always thought that if I ever got my own mare I would breed her and get a foal. My reasons for wanting a foal I guess were summed up in that I thought they were adorable and I wanted to raise and train my very own foal. I didn't take into account the idea of conformation of the mare, age, suitable stallions, possible high vet costs, foaling facilities, etc. Granted I was between the age of 9 and 13.
I knew I wanted a future with horses so I started studying like crazy all about them, joined this forum and have been learning tons ever since. After reading several threads and doing my own research I came to the conclusion that it would not be fair to just breed any mare for a kyoot foal!
I have a mare now, but I would not consider breeding her as she would be a 19 year old maiden mare, is technically grade (papers lost) and I do not have the kind of money for the possible emergency vet bills and proper foaling facilities etc.
But I will not give up my dream of having my own foal some day!! I'm just going to be smart about it. I will wait till I have the money, time and facilities, money for a trainer for the foal if I am not competent enough by that time, and either have a mare that is registered and real breeding quality and breed her to an equally worthy stallion that compliments her, or I will buy a young mare (no older than 8) that is already in foal (again most likely registered and good confo) and do things that way. I also would probably want the mare to be broke as I would likely only have that one foal out of her.
So I just want to say a big thank-you to everyone that has started threads or posted on them advice about breeding! It has certainly changed my outlook on this issue!

Good evening Jazzy Nation friends and family, After much prayer I have been lead to step down as the GM of Jazzy Nation. There are some exciting things on the horizon and in life you sometimes have to let go of what you're currently holding onto in order to take hold of your next venture. In ministry it is no different, when God speaks you listen and then move and in order to receive what God has in store for you, you must often be willing to let go. Jazzy Nation will continue broadcasting what you have come to love in contemporary inspirational music however over the next week or so the operations will be transitioning to Church Beat Radio staff.

Expand and Exterminate is a modification for TA spring. Primarly it's done by one man named Fang, who has done it all by scratch every once in a while asking for help by the community. EE ( expand and exterminate) is constantly updating. This is quoted from the sort of temporary site: (This is written by Fang) "This is a FAQ for Expand and Exterminate as well as a brief history of the project where it started from and some background fluff. Q:What is Expand and Exterminate? A:Expand and Exterminate is a mod created by Fang with help from several dozen other people which is based loosely on the games Earth 2150, and Earth 2160. The game started as a project for Me to make my own mod and test crazy ideas with weapons. It expanded into a almost semi Total Conversion based on Earth 2150/2160. The goal of this mod was to create a game atmosphere that felt post modern, while still being believable. The gameplay was intended to be fast paced and tactical with a focus on unit group composition...
Now the mod is translated and published to KR and SEA.
Posted by Go4 on Apr 13th, 2012
The map is now available on EU, NA, SEA and on KR servers. Also SEA and KR have translated versions.
The map is getting popular again in EU and it is quite popular in KR.
From now I will start working again on this project, first adding a team vs team mode, than improving guide system. Than I will start further polishing the game and adding stuff.
Also I still looking for any cool spaceships models to replace Starcraft 2 models.

GREEN BAY – Taking a closer look at the Green Bay Packers' 23-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field, an NFC Wild Card defeat that ended their season and left plenty of questions for the organization going forward:
Thumbs up: Where would the Packers have been this season without Eddie Lacy? At one point Sunday, the fans were chanting "Ed-die! Ed-die!" but they could have just as easily been chanting "MVP! MVP!" Facing a third-ranked run defense that was daring him to beat them by playing both their safeties back, the rugged Lacy carried 21 times for a hard-earned 81 yards (3.9 yards per carry). If only the Packers could have had Lacy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the same backfield all season, imagine the production the offense might've had.
Instead, that will have to wait for 2014.
"It's sad. Everybody in here is sad. We played our hearts out," Lacy said. "We came out to play, but it just didn't end the way we thought it would."
Thumbs down: It is precisely the type of play that the Packers are paying safety Morgan Burnett $24.75 million to make. And once again, the fourth-year safety didn't make it.
While his outstanding safety predecessors – LeRoy Butler, Darren Sharper and Nick Collins – all blossomed into Pro Bowl players in their fourth NFL seasons, Burnett has yet to show he is capable of being a difference-maker. On Sunday, he once again had a chance to make such a play. With the Packers leading 17-13 with 10 minutes 37 seconds to go in the game, Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk was blanketing 49ers tight end Vernon Davis. While coverage isn't his strong suit, Hawk had good position when 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick zinged a strike on the seam route to Davis for a 28-yard touchdown that Burnett, who was a split-second late reacting, had been in position to break up or perhaps intercept. On replay, it appeared the ball went right through his outstretched arms.
"I was with him, but if he caught it, then it's not good coverage," Hawk said. "I should've found a way to break that up or pick it."
Player of the game: The Packers were looking cryogenically frozen in the first quarter, when they were outgained, 118-6, and the 49ers had as many points (six) and first downs (six) as the Packers had yards. Green Bay was lucky that the 49ers had settled for two chip-shot field goals on their opening two possessions as their offense bogged down and the Packers defense rose up. The 49ers were on the march again, facing second-and-7 at the Green Bay 29, when Kaepernick thought he had Davis down the right sideline. Au contraire. As Kaepernick's throw hung in the frozen air, cornerback Tramon Williams left his man to range over and pick off the interception. The offense then went 70 yards in 14 plays the other way en route to a 5-yard Jordy Nelson touchdown catch and a 7-6 lead.
While Williams' play in and of itself was big, what he did on his return – seeing and intentionally lowering his head and running Kaepernick over as the quarterback tried to tackle him.
"I don't get a chance to hit quarterbacks too often, so I saw a perfect opportunity in front of me," Williams said. "Kaepernick's a tough competitor. We did need a spark at that time and my play provided it at that point. The offense was able to come out and get a drive going and get into a rhythm and those guys got into a rhythm for the rest of the game and made some plays. As a defense, we just didn't get those stops when we really needed it."
Play of the day: Call it Rodgers to Cobb II. A week after their fourth-and-8, 48-yard touchdown pass in the final minute sent them to the playoffs, the quarterback and wide receiver were at it again. This time, Rodgers was facing a fourth-and-2 at the San Francisco 30-yard line when by some miracle he escaped the clutches of 49ers Ray McDonald and linebacker Ahmad Brooks and hurled a strike to Cobb, who caught the ball behind cornerback Perrish Cox for a 26-yard gain. Two plays later, fullback John Kuhn scored from a yard out to make it 20-17 Green Bay.
"We had a [missed assignment] on the play so it got very cluttered in there in the middle," Rodgers said. "I felt a guy swiping at the ball so I tried to pull it away from him and was being grabbed and I felt like I was free, so I just moved to my right and saw Randall and threw it to him."
Inside the game: All year long, it didn't matter who the quarterback was – from Rodgers to Seneca Wallace to Scott Tolzien to Matt Flynn and back to Rodgers – the Packers weren't good enough in the red zone. A year after scoring touchdowns at the league's third-best clip (68.1 percent) of their trips inside opposing 20-yard lines a year ago, the Packers converted just 33 of their 65 red-zone trips (50.8 percent) in the regular season, then went 2 for 4 on Sunday. For a team that had been an NFL-best 61.3 percent on touchdowns in the red zone since the start of the 2008 season, Sunday's failure was an epic one.
"It's huge. We've been fighting with that all year," wide receiver James Jones said. "You get down in the red zone, you need touchdowns, not field goals, and it bit us again today."
The backbreaker was when the Packers moved into position to score and had first-and-goal from the 9-yard line and settled for a field goal to make it 20-20.
"It's not what you want," wide receiver Jordy Nelson said. "It's something we've struggled with all year, finishing in the red zone, and it continued today. Give them credit for stepping up and stopping us and holding us to a field goal to tie the game. We've got to punch that in, one way or another."
Quote, unquote: "It's frustrating. In the locker room, everybody's disappointed. Tomorrow is the toughest day of the year because it's the end and guys go their separate ways. Today's probably tied for the toughest, as well. It's the last time this group of guys is going to be together. It's frustrating. We did some great things this year but we came up a little short." – Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, on the season-ending loss.
Injury report: Cornerback Sam Shields suffered what might be a serious knee injury on the Packers' second defensive play while joining a tackler of wide receiver Michael Crabtree late. Three plays later, outside linebacker Mike Neal suffered a knee injury of his own in a collision. Packers coach Mike McCarthy had no information on either player's condition, but if they both did suffer significant knee injuries, they both might have increased the likelihood of their return to Green Bay. Both set to become unrestricted free agents in spring, they may be bargain re-signs if their injuries are serious.
With Shields out, Davon House came off the bench to take Shields' snaps outside, while Neal's injury left the Packers with only two surviving outside linebackers. House (cramping) and rookie Andy Mulumba (knee) each sat out for a time but returned.
Extra points:
> Even though House came awfully close to blocking kicker Phil Dawson's game-winning field goal as time expired – a .GIF making the Internet rounds shows House diving to block the kick and the ball zipping right between House's outstretched arms – it wouldn't have mattered if he had blocked it. House was called for being offsides – referee Ed Hochuli made the call in the closing seconds – and Dawson would have gotten to kick from 5-yards closer, a 28-yard kick.
"Looked to me – I haven't seen the replay – it was pretty close," McCarthy said.
> When Mulumba injured his knee with Neal out and Clay Matthews (thumb) and Nate Palmer inactive, the Packers turned to first-round pick Datone Jones to play outside linebacker.
"Pretty much I'm prepared to play any position on the front seven. I know everything, and I'm very athletic and I can pretty much do it all," said Jones, who played only a couple snaps as a true stand-up outside linebacker until Mulumba reentered the game. "Most definitely, I was very prepared to do it."
> The Packers hold the No. 21 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft following their first-round playoff exit and 8-8-1 record.
> Wanting to pull out all the stops, the Packers had Cobb returning kickoffs. "This time of the year, it's about getting to a Super Bowl, getting a ring. Whatever it takes, I'm willing to do," Cobb said. "I'm all about this team, and I'm going to do everything I can to put 'em in the best situation. Coach made the call, and I went back there."
> The Packers have 17 unrestricted free agents for next year: Quarterback Seneca Wallace, quarterback Matt Flynn, fullback John Kuhn, running back James Starks, running back Kahlil Bell, wide receiver James Jones, tight end Jermichael Finley, tight end Andrew Quarless, tackle Marshall Nehouse, starting center Evan Dietrich-Smith, defensive tackle Johnny Jolly, defensive tackle Ryan Pickett, defensive tackle B.J. Raji, defensive end C.J. Wilson, OLB Mike Neal, linebacker Robert Francois and Shields. Linebacker Jamari Lattimore and safety M.D. Jennings are restricted free agents.

BATON ROUGE - Louisiana police juries, city councils and other public bodies must allow public comment on meeting agenda items before the items are voted on, according to a bill filed by Rep. Rosalind Jones, D-Monroe.
HB1307 has been passed by the House and will next be taken up by the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee.
The bill amends the current law that requires a public comment period at public meetings but doesn't stipulate that the comment period must come before a vote is taken.
Under the bill, "the governing body may adopt reasonable rules and restrictions regarding such comment period."
That line in the bill means public bodies will be able to decide what a "reasonable" amount of time is for public comment, Jones said.
Jones said public bodies can decide whether to have one comment period on all agenda items at the outset of meetings or allow public comment as individual agenda items come up.
School boards, who since 2006 have been required to allow public comment between voting on each issue, will not be affected by the bill.
Jones said she filed the bill after a constituent asked her to address the issue.
She said she has worked on the bill in collaboration with the Louisiana Municipal Association.
Jones said she expects her bill to pass the Senate without any significant opposition.
"All citizens will be able to express their views," Jones said.
