The black cat was dying.
His kidneys failing, he could no longer navigate the stairs in the house. Leaping onto the bed was impossible. Eating was a chore.
Finally, he retreated to a closet.
After 17 years, Laura Maynor knew it was time to say goodbye to Cinder. So on a warm Denver afternoon in June, she carried the cat into the backyard, talking to him about the times they had shared. Soon Keri Jones, the veterinarian who had provided home hospice care for Cinder, arrived with her kit.
And after a few minutes, Cinder closed his eyes and Maynor murmured goodbye.
"I would never use a vet's office for euthanasia again," said Maynor, a cat owner for 47 years. "Doing it at home is so much easier on the animal and owners. It was just such a calm, peaceful, loving kind of experience."
America is undergoing a cultural sea change in how we say goodbye to our pets. A growing hospice movement is teaching pet owners how to administer late-stage care to animals with terminal illnesses. Vets make house calls to euthanize pets in the comfort of the home; bereavement counselors work with humans grieving over their four-footed dead.
It's a long way from picking up a rifle and saying goodbye to Old Yeller, the old farm and frontier model. And it speaks to the increasingly complex relationship many people have with their animals.
We expect our children to outlive us.
This translates to a lot of Kleenex: An estimated two- thirds of American households have pets, with more than 65 million dogs, 77 million cats and about 40 million birds. That doesn't count dozens of other varieties of animals large and small, hooved and clawed.
Attitude, affluence shift
A national leader in the animal-bereavement and hospice movement, the Argus Institute sits in a spacious headquarters in Fort Collins.
The institute, named after Greek hero Odysseus' loyal dog, was founded in 1984 on the notion that humans, just as they mourn relatives, mourn their pets. It is associated with Colorado State University's James L. Voss Vetenirary Teaching Hospital.
It has grown into a vanguard facility counseling about 1,300 people a year with a budget of about $256,000, a mix of state money and private donations.
"There was a recognition that veterinarians weren't being trained to deal with the emotional needs of the 'moms and dads' of companion animals," said Jane Shaw, the institute's director. "Since then, there's been an appreciation and understanding of the fact that people who love and value pets will grieve over their loss.
"It's a cornerstone of our work."
The expansion of animal- hospice and pet-oriented grief counseling services in recent years is rooted in an intersection of attitudes and affluence. For people without kids under their roof, pets often become surrogate children. This can lead to eyebrow-raising silliness - birthday parties for dogs? - but the profound emotional attachment is genuine.
"It's not surprising that people grieve so hard for their animals," said Ann Brandenburg- Schroeder, a Lakewood veterinarian specializing in home euthanasia since 2001. "Animals are often around you more than another person. They're with you like a second skin."
Adds Gail Bishop, the Argus Institute's clinical coordinator:
"Losing an animal that loves and adores us and can't wait to see us when we come through the door - we all had that love and acceptance when we were born, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get that back. An animal brings extraordinary value to our lives."
When people have the means and motivation to give their pets the best, perhaps it's only natural for them to treat animals as family - and that extends to life's end-stage.
This can spur questions about priorities in a world awash with human misery.
Bishop finds that a reasonable question, and offers a considered answer.
"I guess we all have different values," she said. "For me, some people should put their money into relief for Darfur or Katrina. Our values run from A to Z, and that drives our ambitions and emotions.
"But loss is loss."
The Argus Institute serves clients nationwide, although most hail from Colorado and surrounding states. Its Pet Hospice Program, a free service staffed by volunteers, operates within a 20-mile radius of Fort Collins.
Gabrielle Pearl is a client. Her family's 10-year-old beagle, Katy, has lymphoma. The dog's cancer went into remission after five chemotherapy sessions but returned two months later. Now it's just a matter of time.
"The hospice volunteers come once a week, check on Katy and monitor her, and take the information back to our vet," Pearl said. "It really gives me peace of mind."
On a recent Sunday, Katy wasn't breathing well. Pearl picked up the phone, and a volunteer was at her house in 20 minutes. No charge.
"It's nice to know I don't have to panic and take her in every time," Pearl said. "The whole experience, difficult as it's been, has been amazing. We're really lucky."
Home hospice care allows animals to remain in a stable, familiar environment. It's comforting to all parties.
"It makes a huge difference," said Maynor, who five weeks after Cinder's death had to euthanize her calico cat, Tessa, who suffered from a tracheal tumor.
"Each individual, client as well as pet, is unique," said Christine Daigler, a Littleton veterinarian offering home euthanasia and hospice care. "I think a lot of clients, once they have a pet diagnosed with a terminal illness, don't want to go back to the clinic."
Hospice workers teach owners how to administer medicines to pets at home, just like people are taught to be caregivers to a dying parent.
Human-animal history
Studies of the 10,000-year interplay between humans and domestic animals indicate it began as a utilitarian exchange: Dogs could help in hunting, carry light loads and serve as early-warning systems around campfires. Cats rid granaries of vermin. In turn, they were fed and protected.
Over time, that relationship evolved.
"The research shows consistently that the vast majority of people who have companion animals consider them family members," said Christina Risley-Curtiss, an associate professor at Arizona State University's School of Social Work.
"Along with that, we are finally acknowledging that other animals are sentient, emotional beings who experience fear, pain, attachment, loss, etc.," she said.
Risley-Curtiss, who is a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics in England, speaks from experience: Last spring, she chose home euthanasia for her 13-year-old greyhound, Rayne, who was terrified of the vet's office. "There was no way I wanted to subject her to that fear and anxiety if I didn't need to," she said.
Settings vary for euthanasia. Some people choose the living room, others the outdoors.
On the Argus Institute's west lawn is a grove of trees. It's a space where pet owners can spend the final minutes with an animal during euthanasia.
"Dog owners who spent a lot of time outdoors with their animal like the natural setting," Shaw said.
Cat owners often opt to use the institute's "comfort room," with upholstered chairs and sofas and muted lighting. There's also a CD player: One young woman recently arrived with her terminally ill cat and a special piece of piano music.
Tailored farewells
Randy McCarty of Firehouse Animal Health Center in Denver has offered in-home euthanasia since entering veterinary practice in 1983.
Demand for the service has doubled in the past few years. Beyond its comfort, a home setting avoids the stress on people and pets of that final drive to the vet.
"Moving that whole process to the home serves so many different needs," McCarty said.
"But no two situations are similar," he said. "Sometimes it's a process a client wants expedited. Sometimes it takes 2 1/2 hours. People show me the animal's toys, share their memories, give the animal a last treat."
Euthanizing a pet at home costs about the same as in the vet's office - $100 to $250, depending on the animal's size and whether it is to be cremated. In-home service is not for everyone. Some folks can't bear the idea of a room in the house that will always be associated with the animal's death. "They want to have the last memories of the pet being alive and viable at home," McCarty said.
McCarty sees his role as an advocate for the pet and person alike. He doesn't advise whether to put an animal down, but offers information on the pet's chances for recovery, its pain level and quality of life.
McCarty estimates he's euthanized more than 750 animals in his 24-year career. To this day, he often cries afterward.
"People ask me, 'Isn't this the worst part of your job?' Oddly, it isn't," he said. "You're providing that bridge as the pet passes out of this world, and sparing them pain in their decline.
"It's just part of what I do."
Brandenburg-Schroeder asks clients to set aside at least an hour for a euthanasia procedure.
Once the animal is settled, often on a lap or favorite blanket, the vet administers a series of IV injections: sedatives, then anesthetics, then sodium pentobarbital, the drug that takes the animal from sleep to the longest sleep. The drug sequence takes a matter of minutes.
"Many people feel overcome by the decision because they feel like they're playing god," Brandenburg-Schroeder said. "But animals aren't afraid of death.
"People ask me if I get depressed, but I don't," she said. "I'm always in the midst of great love, this tremendous bond between people and animals. That's what the tears mean."

"This was a modern/contemporary shower design that appealed to my daughter and her age appropriate group. She felt it was tastefully designed and celebrated motherhood. The paper quality was excellent and the choice of printing styles made the card individualized for her taste. She chose the black/grey motif with white lettering for most of the card and black lettering for her name. We loved the black and white polka-dots for the back of the card. It was spectacular and the guests raved about the unique shower invite that they received."
"I am so happy and pleased with the way my baby shower invitations turned out. It was simple yet I was able to use their format to customize the invite to my preference. I highly recommend tiny prints. I was weary in the beginning because I have never used them before, but now I will continue to use them for all my invitation and card needs."
"The quality of these invites is great! Very heavy card stock,the blue color is great and the back of the invites hae the stripe blue color all around."
"Our shower planning team fell in love with this trendy chic chalkboard design even though it wasn't what we were originally looking for, and it has ended up giving us some really fun inspiration for other details of the shower too. Tonight I dropped off a few extra invitations for the mommy-to-be to have, and her exact words were "OMG these are the cutest!! I LOVE them!!" That reaction from our special first time mommy was worth every penny spent! And as always, the order arrived right on time, and the paper quality & design detail were superb."
"I was very pleased with the quality of the card stock, the printing and the on time delivery of my invitations . I also found the website easy to use . This card is perfect for a baby shower that will be given in Dana Point , California ( the Whale sighting capital of the West )"

If you divide the economy into three parts, you have the welfare bums who do nothing but sponge off society with no desire of ever doing anything to lift themselves out of poverty;
Next, you have the uber-wealthy Wall Street bankers and high rollers who bankrolled Obama's campaign and eventually collected hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts and "stimulus" money;
Now, which third of the economy is left to foot the bill the other two groups are collecting off of? That's right - the middle class.
You can count on those groups collecting to support Obama in the next election blindly. Life has been good for them. As the saying goes, "If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on Paul's support." It is for this reason I find it incredible that anyone who has to go to work every day to feed his family would even think of voting for Obama and his motley Marxists.
- Marianne 2012/07/17 16:03:48Right trackAlthough there are many contradictions, half truths, exaggerated critisism and too much confusing information, there is a trend toward more sustainability. The "green wave" had great difficulties for starting, and economy is slow to recover, as too many SME's were closed down or bought up before the very crisis. The globalisation was controlled from the beginning on by big companies or corporations and caused more damage than economic growth, while fair trade organisations which would allow the weaker countries to build up their own economy was limited to a few spots. Too much profit orientation would worsen the situation. Salary dumping, exacting work conditions, outsourcing and precarity would demotivate the shrinking numbers of increasingly sickened employees.
More transparency in the governmental and economic strategies would be useful, and that applies to all the world.

President Obama stated that the business that private equity firms do was just fine, only what Mitt Romney did at Bain Capital was wrong.
Barack Obama and his campaign have been making Mitt Romney's time at Bain Capital one of their premiere mantras that have over and over backfired in their faces. They decided to attack the fact that Bain outsourced jobs during the restructuring of the companies they acquired. So what does Obama have to do with it? During the time he points to, 1999-2002, the executives of Bain donated to Obama for his campaign. No doubt at that time Barack Obama was not at all upset about jobs being outsourced as he got some big, fat checks from the executives

But in the long haul, when we fix something, it stays fixed more often then half the time, and when we break something, were more likely fix it again.Take the long view, and human society does nothing except get better.

What causes flatulence? 31 possible conditions

What Are Gas and Flatulence?
Flatulence is a medical term for releasing gas from the digestive system through the anus. It is also commonly known as farting, passing wind, or having gas. It occurs when gas collects inside the digestive system.
Gas collects in two main ways. First, when you swallow air during eating or drinking, oxygen and nitrogen collect in the digestive tract. Second, as you digest food, digestive gases such as hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide collect. Either case can cause flatulence.
What Are the Causes of Flatulence?
Flatulence is very common, and it is estimated that a man will naturally pass wind between 14 and 25 times a day. A woman will pass gas between seven and 12 times per day. If you pass wind more frequently than this on a regular basis, you could be suffering from excessive flatulence, which has a number of causes.
Swallowing Air
It is natural to swallow air throughout the day, normally during eating and drinking. Typically, only a small amount of air is swallowed. If you frequently swallow more air, you may find that you suffer from excessive flatulence.
Reasons that you may swallow more air than normal include chewing gum, smoking, sucking on objects such as pen tops, drinking carbonated drinks, and eating too quickly.
Dietary Choices
Your dietary choices could lead to excessive flatulence. Some foods cannot be absorbed, meaning that they pass from the intestines to the colon without first being digested. The colon contains a large number of bacteria that then break down the food, releasing gases as they do so.
If your diet is high in foods such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, raisins, lentils, prunes, and apples, you may suffer from flatulence. These foods can also take a long time to digest, leading to an unpleasant smell associated with flatulence.
Foods high in fructose or sorbitol, such as fruit juices, can also cause an increase in flatulence.
Health Conditions
If your diet does not contain a large amount of carbohydrates or sugars, and you do not swallow excessive air, your excessive flatulence may be caused by a medical condition.
Potential conditions behind flatulence range from temporary conditions, such as constipation and gastroenteritis, to food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance. Digestive problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease, can also lead to flatulence, although they are rarely the cause.
How Is Flatulence Treated?
Flatulence may be treated in a number of ways, depending on the cause of the problem.
There may be ways for you to treat excessive flatulence yourself.
First, look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of difficult-to-digest carbohydrates, try to replace these with carbohydrates that are easier to digest, such as potatoes, rice, and bananas.
Keep a food diary so you can identify any triggers, and eat around six small meals a day instead of three larger ones.
Additionally, avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air that you swallow. This includes ensuring that food is chewed properly, as well as avoiding chewing gum or smoking.
Some people find that exercising helps to promote digestion and can prevent flatulence.
There are a number of over-the-counter medications that can treat flatulence, although these will only temporarily stop the problem. These include charcoal tablets that absorb gas through the digestive system as well as dietary supplements, such as alpha-galactosidase (Beano).
Medical Care
If your flatulence is unexplained, or if you suffer from other symptoms along with flatulence such as a swollen abdomen or abdominal pain, it is important to see your doctor.
Your doctor will discuss your symptoms with you, including when the problem started, and if there are any apparent triggers.
A blood test may be requested, both to ensure that the body is not fighting an infection and to identify any possible food intolerances.
You are likely to be advised to follow the steps above, including keeping a food diary and changing your eating habits. You may also be referred to a dietician.
In addition, you may be given medication for a specific condition such as IBS, if it is diagnosed, or sent for further tests to get a conclusive diagnosis.
What Is the Outcome if Flatulence Is Left Untreated?
There are no long-term consequences for not treating flatulence. If the flatulence is caused by a food intolerance or digestive issue, the problem may get worse, or other symptoms may develop.
In some cases, prolonged excessive flatulence can lead to other issues, such as depression and eating disorders. It is important to maintain a healthy diet and to see your doctor if the problem begins to negatively affect your life.

Acute cholecystitis is also known as inflammation of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is an organ that sits below the liver and helps your body digest fats.
H. pylori are a type of bacteria that may not cause problems. However, sometimes it can cause pain, bloating, and burping, and may lead to ulcers or stomach cancer.
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach pushes up through your diaphragm and into your chest cavity. Common symptoms include heartburn, belching, and abdominal discomfort.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Food poisoning occurs when you consume foods contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Symptoms are usually uncomfortable but not severe.
If your small or large intestine becomes blocked, fluid and digested food cannot move through. This can cause bloating, stomach cramps, and burping.
Malabsorption syndrome occurs when the intestine's ability to absorb important nutrients is compromised. Certain conditions, such as Celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, and dairy allergies may lead to malabsorption.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation in the pancreas, which causes pain and swelling in the upper left side of the abdomen, nausea, and burping.
Stomach cancer occurs when cancerous cells form in the stomach lining. Because it's difficult to detect, it's often not diagnosed until it's more advanced.
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by an immune reaction to gluten. Symptoms vary but can include arthritis, fatigue, and abdominal symptoms.
Cystic fibrosis causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems. Learn about its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment.

The Navy launched the F-35C Lighting II Joint Strike Fighter by catapault for the first time at it's Patuxent River Naval Station, the Navy website reports.
The first test at Patuxent went off November 4. The Navy did previous testing in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The Navy says its F-35C is different from the F-35A and B because of larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear, to hold up under the strain of catapult launches and short landings on aircraft carriers.

Fireworks & Ponies
World Event: Darkmoon Faire
6 / 13 (46%)
This was a fun achievement to do, and had I not been at my cousin's house, I would have finished it in no time. All you need is 6 Darkmoon Fireworks and then go to your respective friendly capital city. And since Eivyn is a Horde character, she goes to Dalaran, Shattrath, Orgrimmar, Silvermoon City, Thunderbluff and Undercity.
The back story is that, I have no internet connection at home so I had to go to my cousin's place near my office so I can mooch some wifi for a few hours. However, his 6 year old daughter saw me playing and was so intrigued with what I'm doing. She wanted to see how my character, Eivyn, can fly. Needless to say, the niece took over my game time and made Eivyn fly around random places.
It's so cute how she'd go, "Tita, why is the boat floating?", when I made her go up one tower in Orgrimmar to wait for the zeppelin going to Undercity. Somewhere along The Barrens she has decided to fly low and tumble along the ground, giggling, and partially screaming when she encounters the bad guys. I keep telling her they're no match for her, but she wouldn't listen. =))
Anyway, as I've said, this achievement is easy enough. I just followed this comment from brionl in WoWhead and did what was suggested:
Buy your Darkmoon Fireworks at the Faire, take the portal back to Thunderbluff.
Go up into the city proper, and set off your fireworks.
Take the portal to the Blasted Lands, go through the Dark Portal and fly to Shattrath City, set off fireworks.
If you have a Kirin Tor ring, port to Dalaran, otherwise take the portal back to Orgrimmar, and take a zepplin/fly to Dalaran. Set off Fireworks.
Take the portal back to Orgrimmar, set off fireworks.
Take a zepplin to Tirisfal Glade, fly to Undercity. Make sure your mini-map says Undercity, not Ruins of Lordaeron. Set off fireworks.
Take the globe thingie from the courtyard to Silvermoon City, set off fireworks.
Achievement complete.
Easy enough, as this achievement is pretty much self-explanatory: ride a Darkmoon Pony. Go to the far end of the fair (by the water), and you'll see the petting zoo. Walk to the far east side and there you'll see mules & ponies standing about.
Achievement earned:

Security firm Symantec reported revenue of $1.48 billion for its second fiscal quarter, beating out most analysts' expectations, but down 3 percent from the same quarter one year ago. Earnings were also better than expected, which checked in at $294 million, or $0.36 per share.
Symantec attributed the growth to its consumer business and increased IT spending, which bodes well for the company, considering a recent survey by Intuit Payroll suggested that the majority of SMBs have been spending less on security, even as cybercrime continues to rise.
"We're definitely seeing the U.S. market stabilize," Symantec CEO Enrique Salem noted in an interview on Wednesday. "We've seen China and parts of Asia continue to do well, and we're seeing some weakness in western Europe."
While consumer revenue was up 6 percent year-over-year, Symantec may have a tough time pushing its storage products. According to data from research firms IDC and Gartner, server sales were down roughly 30 percent last quarter.

Windows XP / Windows 2000 / Windows ME / Windows 98 SE / Windows 98
Soldier Front is an mmo built around a modern day setting first person shooter. It's basically Counterstrike with lots of quests, unlockable, and achievements. There's a ton of different guns to unlock and use, and a lot of maps. The graphics are on par with Counterstrike, which is to say, not very good. There's a lot of maps but their design isn't very good, each game seems to end up with people sniping from chokepoints, all stuck in the center of the map. The action itself is basic Counterstrike gameplay where you have deathmatch and objective matches. There's no single player so if you don't like multiplayer shooters, you should look elsewhere. The game is a good distraction, but it can be laggy and it needs some better maps. The achievements and unlocking give it some legs and it's free, so it's worth a look.

Our desktop application needs to run on Mac, Windows and Linux. That's why we chose Qt. Before, we had three separate code bases for those 3 platforms.
In the old implementation, we drew our own "window caption" with Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons. It looks the same in all three platforms.
This time around, I am not so sure. I thought of letting Qt use whatever's default caption and caption buttons for each platform, the rectangular "X", "_" windows buttons, the round buttons on the left hand side on the mac, and whatever goes with Linux/Ubuntu etc.
Is this a wise decision? One of the things pushing me there is that i'd have to write the resize code for the window class I'm writing, the dragging code, the button work and everything else that comes with writing your own windows caption.
I noticed that if I use this, " Qt::FramelessWindowHint" to remove the caption, i automatically lose my resizing grapple too. Is there a way around that? Also how would you go about implementing your own windows dragging code? (providing you knew the area you'd want to use as a "draggable caption". Seems like I need to catch the button down on that region, enter a drag mode, track the mouse movements and move the windows according to the deltas. Similar for resize. I've done that in other platforms before, but I wanted to ask if Qt has a mechanism that allows me to do that "out of the box"?

A subtle long-term shift in atmospheric patterns driven by global warming could lead to longer and more intense droughts in the southwestern U.S. and other semi-arid regions. Most climate models suggest that that a belt of higher average pressure that now sits closer to the equator will move north.

Looks amazing!
I'm doing a campaign in this area and this will be very helpful for my PCs.
Keep up the good work!
ive seen that 'screw it' attitude before. are you sure youre trying to finish ALL your projects? cause i feel pretty screwed over on the project thats most important
The reason why I keep waffling back & forth with these is that the more I research each region, the more I miss the old FR, and the more depressed I get, and I get a 'screw it' attitude. I am trying to finish ALL my current projects, before I give up for good (if I do). You guys who post comments give me the incentive to finish, because I know some folks still care. This is one I made a promise to myself, and someone else I admire and respect, to finish.
Very nice. I'm glad to see your back to working on the Faerunian maps.
This is handy for one of my side-projects.

"You either build or destroy. Where you come from?"
- "The Magnolia projects in the 3rd ward slum"
Lyric Meaning
"Building" is a term that the 5 percenters, from the line above, use to describe gaining knowledge.
Supreme Mathematics 8. – Build or Destroy
To Build is to elevate the mentality & material of ones self, others & the planet. To Destroy is to ruin the mentality & material of ones self, others & the planet by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.
The meaning depends on the punctuation:
you either build or destroy*
where you come from**
*[ {no punctuation} = ½ of Jay's idea OR (,) = ½ rhetoric]
**[ (.) = +½ of Jay's conclusion OR (?) = +½ rhetorical question]
Jay's Idea= Him thinking to himself about the meaning of life
Rhetorical Question= 5%ers inquiring about Jay's character.
Regardless of intent: that verse = oracular spectacular.
Jay Electronica is from the Magnolia Projects, a notoriously dangerous housing project in New Orleans that was eventually torn down and is in the process of being redeveloped.

Sega has posted an 11 and a half minute gameplay demo from their E3 2011 presentation of Aliens: Colonial Marines earlier this year.
The most striking part of the first person shooter is the complete lack of a HUD, giving a more visceral, immersive experience, making the xenomorph attacks that much more frightening.
Check out the E3 demo in the video below.

The War Chant
The Seminole "War Chant"
Florida State's "war chant" appears to have begun with a random occurrence
that took place during a 1984 game against Auburn, but in the 1960s, the
Marching Chiefs band would chant the melody of a
popular FSU cheer. In a sense that chant was the long version of FSU's current
"war chant." During a thrilling game with Auburn in 1984, the Marching Chiefs
began to perform the dormant melody. Some students behind the band joined in and
continued the "war chant" portion after the band had ceased. Most agree the
chant came from the fraternity section, but many spirited Seminole fans added
the hand motion to symbolize the brandishing of a tomahawk.
The chant continued among the student body during the 1985 season, and by the
1986 season, it was a stadium-wide phenomenon. Of course, the Marching Chiefs
refined the chant, plus put their own special brand of accompaniment to the "war
chant," for the sound we hear today.
Atlanta Braves fans took up their version of the song and chant when former FSU
star Deion Sanders came to the plate as an outfielder. The Kansas City Chiefs
first heard it when the Northwest Missouri State band, directed by 1969 FSU
graduate Al Sergel, performed the chant while the players were warming up for a
game against San Diego.

The role of Guardian ad Litem taking shape:
Family Court Judges and Domestic Relations Commissioners have long used private, independent lawyers to facilitate resolving custodial and timeshare disputes in divorces. These lawyers are appointed by the judge as a Guardian ad Litem who is to, in some manner or another, look out for the children involved. The role of that Guardian ad Litem (or GAL) can be a confusing and ambiguous thing. However, the Supreme Court of Kentucky has issued… Continue reading

You can make excellent food-quality freezer containers from 1- or 2-quart cardboard milk cartons. Cut off the top of a carton and cut down the sides to form flaps. We have found that they can be reused if the contents are first put into a plastic bag. Remember to leave expansion space for freezing. A closure tab on the cover is optional. Just seal the carton with regular masking tape and a label.

Volonte Plus Group
Joseph is trained to be a nurse and has owned his own pharmacy since 2007. He does his business east of Kisangani, a city that was destroyed by deadly clashes of foreign armies in the year 2000. Kisangani is located in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the Province Oriental which borders with Uganda and the Sudan.
Joseph started his business as an independent nurse who treated patients from his home. Concerned with serving his neighborhood's community's needs for medicines, in 2007 he decided to open a pharmacy with the financial support of loans from Hope Kisangani. Today that pharmacy generates a profit of $350 per month for him.
In order to realize his dream of one day opening a Health Clinc, in 2007 Joseph decided to join one of Hope Kisangani's group – the group is called "Volonté Plus Kis". He is the vice president of the group. The group "Volonté Plus Kis" is the first of Hope Kisangani's groups to receive loans from Kiva.
Joseph will use the next loan that he receives to buy the pharmaceutical products that will increase his pharmacy's stock and therefore grow his revenue.
He is 41 years old, married and the father of 5 children; the children's ages range from 6 to 21 years. Two of the children are attending school.
Joseph est infirmier de formation et gère sa propre pharmacie depuis 2007. Il exerce son activité commerciale à l'est de Kisangani, une ville qui a été détruite par des affrontements meurtriers des armées étrangères en l'an 2000. Kisangani se situe au nord-est de la République Démocratique du Congo dans la Province Orientale qui fait frontière avec l'Ouganda et le Soudan. Joseph a commencé son activité entant qu'infirmier ambulant qui soignait des malades dans son milieu. Soucieux de desservir la population son quartier en médicaments, il décide en 2007 avec l'appui financier de Hope Kisangani à travers des crédits, d'ouvrir une pharmacie qui lui génère aujourd'hui un bénéfice de $350 par mois. Pour réaliser son rêve d'ouvrir un jour un Centre de Santé, Joseph a décidé en 2007 d'intégrer un des groupes de Hope Kisangani dénommé « Volonté Plus Kis ». Il y est vice-président. Ce groupe « Volonté Plus Kis », est le premier groupe de Hope Kisangani à bénéficier des prêts de Kiva. Le prochain prêt que Joseph recevra lui servira d'acheter des produits pharmaceutiques qui renforceront le stock de sa pharmacie en vue d'accroitre le revenu. Il est âgé de 41 ans, marié et père de 5 enfants dont leurs âges varient entre 6 et 21 ans. Deux d'entre eux sont scolarisés.
Additional Information
About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

When distinguished surgeon Gerard van Doorninck asked staff nurse Deborah Culpeper to marry him, his reasons were practical, not romantic. As she had been secretly in love with him for some time, Deborah accepted his terms and hoped for the best. It might all have worked out very happily, had Gerard's friend Claude van Trapp not done his best to try to spoil things!
All Else Confusion

I purchased this generator in November 2014, ran and tested it for about 6 hours and then turned it off, refreshed the oil, and added fuel stabilizer. There it say until Feb 16th, 2015 when we encountered an ice storm and lost power for three days. Day One I ran extension cords off the NEMA-20 outlets and powered a microwave, and my refrigerator. On Day Two, I decided to hook it directly into my house panel via the L14-30 plug (make sure to turn off main breaker!). I was able to power two refrigerators, my TV, cable, and Internet equipment, my gas furnace and lastly my water heater. It was as if I had not lost power at all. So much so that neighbors that didn't have power stayed with me because my house was warm and well lit. The generator ran for 3 days without fail and provided me with ample power to run what I needed. Maximum current I was pulling was 26 amps, measured via an amp probe. The generator ran for about 8 hours a tank under a 8-12amp load.It's a noisy unit, but since I live out in the country, it wasn't so bad. I might think someone living in town with close neighbors may be a little upset with the noise. You definitely aren't going to be able to hide the fact that you have a generator. I nicknamed my house as "The Outpost" during the storm. :-)

I bought this generator based on the good reviews it received from Consumer Reports. Got it home and read the manual before I did anything else. Right up front, it says:CAUTION: This generator is not intended to power sensitive electronic equipment without the addition of an appropriate line conditioner and surge protector (both not included). Sensitive electronic equipment includes, but is not limited to, audio/video equipment, some television sets, computers, and printers. Sensitive electronic equipment should be operated on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators.Since I wanted to be able to power my furnace, my refrigerator and my hybrid water heater, all of which contain electronic controls that have microprocessors, I had serious reservations about using this generator for that purpose. Going back and re-reading Consumer Reports, they do caution against using a generator with electronic devices unless the generator has a clean, high quality sine wave output. Clearly, Harbor Freight knows that this generator does not meet that requirement. I just wish they would tell you that on the web page or on the outside of the box.Unless all you want to do is power some light bulbs, be very careful with what you run off this generator.I would have liked to power it up and put a scope on the output to see whether it is any good (or how bad it is), but if I had put gas in it, then returning it would have cost me a 20% restocking fee.I returned it, unused, for a full refund.

Comments about Predator Generators 8750 Peak/7000 Running Watts, 13 HP (420cc) Generator EPA III:
I bought this generator on sale in Oct. 2015. Had it all setup for next power outage. Well on Jan. 16, 2016 I woke at 2 AM with no power, house down to 50 degrees and outside temperature of 4 F. In 15 minutes I had it hooked up and running total house lights, pump and furnace. What a savior it was. Churned right along for 3 hours till power came back on. I was a great item to have in emergencies.

It's quit and easy to run!
By J bear

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Very easy to use. Very quit compared to older one my parents have and twice as much power. Wish it had a true 30 amp rather then the 28 amp. Wheel kit is easy to install and makes it very easy to move. Battery is a little confusing to install according to the Manuel. But it's a hit with me and my family. Going to be used for home and RV trailer power needs. Yahoo! Thank you for a great product!

Purchase of 8750 /7000 Running Watts Generator
By Dave
from Durham, NC
We purchased the generator to be prepared when the power goes out during a winter storm or after a hurricane blows through. We never know when either will happen here in North Carolina. The best thing about our new generator is that it turns on by simply pressing a button. Our old one required pulling a cord, sometimes for half an hour. This one starts up immediately. Of course that can change over time. We have compared the price locally and are very pleased with the cost.

I purchased this generator 2 hours ago and had in running within the an hour. I ran it for 1 hour and changed the oil and found a good amount of metal in the oil. This did not surprise me since I have purchased compressors before and found the same problem. As I did with the compressor, after running it for an hour I changed the oil, as I have had no problems with the compressor, hopefully this will extend the life of the generator. As for the battery, a lawn and garden tractor batter will fit but is has to be strapped in but will save you a large amount of money since it requires a motorcycle style battery that are not cheap.

Good so far

from Oktaha ok.
I bought this generator to run my RV on a two week hunting trip. It ran flawless. Not too loud. I did buy a battery for easy starting. But really don't need with one pull on the rope will start it no problem. The only other thing I would ask for would be a remote start and kill so I wouldn't have to go out in the cold to start.... Good product I would buy again.

So far, so good
By Jwjr
from Concord, NH
About Me Beginner
Open the box, add oil and gas ,(you supply these) and pull the cord. The directions to prime the engine are to pull the starter cord slowly 1-2 times. I did that and the thing started on the second slow and effortless pull. Pretty amazing! Looks well built and durable. I wish it didn't have a metal tank, but everything else seems pretty nice. This is one of those things you need it, when you need it and don't when you don't. Now that I have it, my power will probably never go out again. Seems like a good product for the price and I am hoping for the best.

UO's Law Confab Packs House
Byline: Lewis Taylor The Register-Guard
CORRECTION (ran March 13, 2007): During a keynote address at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference at the University of Oregon on March 1, speaker Robert F. Kennedy referred to the country's "negligent and indolent press." A story that appeared on March 2 on Page C1 contained an incorrect quote.
Two big-name environmental advocates helped kick off the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference on Thursday night, lending some star power to the 25th staging of an event that has become a rite of late winter at the University of Oregon Law School.
Internationally known physicist, ecologist and author Vandana Shiva and environmental lawyer, radio host and author Robert Kennedy Jr. shared the lectern for the opening address of the conference before a packed house in the Erb Memorial Ballroom. Shiva spoke of biodiversity, ecology and what she called the "seed wars" being waged by corporations seeking intellectual property rights for crops. Kennedy discussed the undue influence of big corporations on the U.S. government, the perversion of the free market economy and the failure of what he called a "negligent and indignant press."
Both speakers issued calls for action by those in the audience.
"It's time for those of us who know what it is that makes this nation worth fighting for to stand up and take it back from those that don't," Kennedy said in closing his hour-long speech.
The keynote addresses marked the first day of what was billed as "the premiere annual gathering for environmentalists in the world." The conference continues through Sunday and features a number of keynote addresses including one by two-time vice presidential candidate Winona LaDuke.
Launched 25 years ago by a group of 15 speakers and 75 lawyers, students and activists, the conference has grown into a four-day event that attracts thousands and includes panel discussions, films and workshops. Along with law students and lawyers, the event also draws activists and community members. Law students organize the conference.
"I think this is a fabulous conference because it brings people from all over the world and all walks of life," said Vera Smith, a land-policy advocate for the Wilderness Society, a nonprofit organization in Golden, Colo.
Smith was one of those lucky enough to get a ticket for the opening night speeches. All 750 tickets were snatched up shortly after organizers began offering them in early February. The event was simulcast to audiences in Columbia Hall and two additional rooms in the law school.
Co-organizer Amanda Freeman attributed the big crowds to the presence of the speakers, both high-profile figures in the environmental movement. Shiva's presence attracted the television cameras of PBS' "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," which plans to air an interview with the anti-globalization activist. …

Chico Boxer RescueSaving Boxers since 1993
July 22, 2015
Currently in California there are literally hundreds of boxers in danger of losing their lives or ending up in homes that are less then adequate. If you are looking for a boxer to complete your family I can guide you to a dog in your area that needs help. Some of these dogs are in shelters in danger of euthansia others are being offered on Craigslist free or for a small fee with the family ignorant of how to screen for a good home. Consequently some of these dogs end up with "backyard breeders" who are care only for the monies they can make from breeding, not vetting or screening animals for behavior or health issues. Others are being offered by families who didn't understand the breed or the responsibility of owning a companion animal.
Thank you,
Tracy Hon
Chico Boxer Rescue
I am currently working with owners who can keep their companion in the home while I pursue a suitable family to adopt. Home visits will be performed and screening through applications. The dogs will not be under the auspices of Chico Boxer Rescue, but will have the advantage of screening and a written contract between owner and adoptive family. Due to the high numbers of boxers in shelters and on Craigslist it may take some time. The economy had not improved enough to enable many families to take on a new companion. Craiglist has become a very dangerous option for rehoming a dog due to the high numbers of animals ending up in bad homes or used for nefarious purposes, bait dogs, research, etc. I actually don't know how many accounts are true but for those who truly love their companion and find that they must rehome them you would want them to have a happy and safe life. If you are interested in this kind of help or assistance please email or call me and we can discuss the best options for your case.
