Q: What is Your Opinion?
April 28, 2010 | By Ches21 | 6 answers | Expired: 2098 days ago
I was just curios to know this, do you think $10 is an outragous price for a nail trim cause I don't think so what do you think this is the petco price. what do you think?
Also I know all the pet groomers at petco they are really nice and do a good job if they need help with a dog that they have to groom they call in their proffessoinal dog trainer who I also know they are all very nice and all of them are trained and they are all proffessional groomers. They will not hire a groomer that does not have any excperince I have applied for jobs there before and the only person they hire with no training are sales assicotes and Assistant groomers. But they work with the assistant groomers before they let them loose to groom on their own.

No, i dont think its rediculous. I go to a groomers and pay $10 for each pup. And if i want the vet to do it, it would cost $25, now thats rediculous.

$10 sounds very reasonable and fair.
the reason groomers must be trained before applying is the amount of education is takes to be a groomer. not that they go to school for an excessive time, but you have to learn how to cut an assortment of dogs w/an assortment of tools and which goes w/which...it's just a lot to learn. paying someone while they're learning costs money. on the flip side, trainers don't need to know much. obedience can be pretty basic, and that's what you pay for at a place like petco. when you get out of basic obedience, you start to delve more and more into behaviorist training, and behaviorists don't work at petco. it's like the difference of teaching sit, stay, and come vs making corrections based on a dog's behavior {like chewing b/c of separation anxiety}.

i heard something on a local radio station the other day about some kind of event going on for some Humane Society in another parish, advertising doggie nail trimming for "just $25".
i'd pay $10 to have my dog's nails trimmed before i'd do it myself...but not at Pet Co. their "groomers" aren't very highly trained. i'd rather have a pet care professional do it, and most vet's offices are pretty reasonable.

I don't think that is an outrageous price. Everyone and every business needs to make money. With businesses, they have overhead costs....business license, insurance, rent, etc. Your Vetrinarian might be marginally cheaper beacuse he is billing you for other services such as shots, exam, etc. If your happy with the service at Petco then it sounds like an ok price.

Its a fair price. My vet charges $8...but then you have an "office visit" charge on that. Some vets will waive it for you but not always. I took my hound over to PETCO for trims. The only problem I ever had was a curious lady who wondered if my dog was abused. My girl had just been retired from the track less than two weeks so she looked typically underweight and every rib showed. Anything more than $10 I think is too much.

In the early ROBO-ONE competitions the first day was entirely devoted to 2 minute autonomous demonstrations where each builder's robot had to perform, and be scored by a panel of expert judges. The competition was intense and the pressure extreme. There could easily be as many as 100 humanoid robots lined up to try and impress the judges enough so that they could grab one of the 32 slots to return the next day and battle in the ring.
Honestly, the autonomous demonstrations were always the high point of the ROBO-ONE competitions for me. It separated the men from the boys, and it really highlighted a lot of unique design and creative talent. In some ways it was more interesting than the kung-fu style battles that have made ROBO-ONE famous world-wide.
Unfortunately staging that type of event required a large number of dedicated staff and volunteers. Typically the major robot related companies, including some of the software and media creators, would provide staff members to assist in the logistics, judging, support, and other duties. But in these tough economic times the format had to be changed.
Starting with the pre-qualifying event held during the 3rd ROBO-ONE Humanoid Helper Project competition last December, the format was simplified tremendously, but still forces competitors to demonstrate that their design is worthy and capable of performing. The new qualifying test is simple. Just beat the clock, and other robots, at running down a long, straight course.
It's actually more difficult than you would guess. The robots have to run as fast as they can, avoid running or falling off the course, while trying to keep their path as straight as possible. Here's how some of them faired:

Organic Baby Clothing
Infants are more susceptible to chemical irritants in clothing. So clothing them in undyed organic cotton reduces the chances of irritation and exposure to chemicals which are used to manufacture conventional baby clothing. These retailers have selections of organic clothing for babies: NutureMama, The Nuture Center, Ecobaby, BlueCanoe, Pangaya Nordic Natural Woollens specializes in baby clothing made from organic wool.

The state of affairs sure does stink (figuratively and literally) in Sochi, eh? Journalists have been documenting everything from stray dogs to brown drinking water in the city hosting the Winter Olympics, even after Russia poured some $51 billion into getting ready to host the games, making it the most expensive in history. Come on Russia, get it together, right?
Well, keep in mind the scourge the Olympics brings upon the host cities themselves — such that it's a wonder any place would actually want them.
Many nations vie to host the games for the perceived economic and geopolitical benefits. Nothing like the world sending you its best athletes in traditional garb to make you look like you're super-important (way to show commitment to those shorts, Bermuda). And then think of all that money coming from tourists and investors!
But economic studies show a mixed bag. Some places, such as Barcelona, may have ended up with a long-term benefit. But look other sites, such as Athens; the Greeks shelled out $15 billion, contributing to the nation's crippling debt, and ended up with bunch of abandoned sports complexes to show for it. The Beijing games cost $40 billion, and tourism bookings actually went down during the summer of 2008. The air pollution levels that Chinese officials had committed to lowering during the games rebounded when the events ended.
Russian officials insist they will be better off in the long run. But others in the nation argue that the resources could have been better spent. "If all that astronomical amount of money — astronomical even for Russia — had been invested in the improvement of utilities and services, it would have given a strong push to economic development," Vadim Bit-Avragim, who helps manage about $4.3 billion at Kapital Asset Management in Moscow, told Bloomberg.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is banking on Sochi becoming a resort and destination city in the aftermath of the Olympics. But ratings firm Moody's predicts that uncertainty about the long-term benefits for Sochi overshadow any potential gains, which, by the way, will have to come from the hotel sector since that's where most of the private investment went.
"It depends on the Russian government's efforts to attract new tourists to Sochi, which we estimate need to increase by 2.5 or three times after the Olympics to ensure that the majority of the hotels are full," a Moody's analyst told Reuters.
Given that most of the press that Sochi's hotels have received has focused on doorknobs falling off and blame for Bob Costas's eye infection, it's tough to foresee tourists, Russian and otherwise, flocking to their offerings.
Asking for the world's spotlight can be a great marketing campaign. Other host cities were already international destinations. Not so for Sochi, or for Russia as a whole. Tourism accounts for only 1.5 percent of the nation's economy, and Russians tend to go abroad for vacation.
But that spotlight can shine brightest on the ugliest spots, which is how things are playing out in Sochi. And, probably, for most future Olympic destinations.
So while we all mock Sochi's inability to be an adequate host, remember that when the journalists and athletes depart, they're leaving behind a city that may very well be worse off for the entire experience.

Thanks to his puppet friends of various personalities, comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham kept the nearly full Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa laughing Wednesday night.
The sometimes off-color comments made by his cast of characters often had the crowd roaring -- then looking around to see if others were also laughing. Dunham isn't exactly the thinking man's comic by any means: his jokes are simple, quick and sometimes topical one-liners that certainly have their appeal, but it's all kept at surface level.
Dunham, originally from Dallas, hails these days from Southern California and began his rise to fame in local comedy clubs, including the Irvine Improv. So this quasi-hometown audience welcomed him with open arms and seemed irritated, maybe even slightly insulted, that the sound guy goofed on the audio for a video that played before Dunham hopped on stage.
One guy yelled so angrily -- "We can't hear it!!!!" -- I turned around to make sure he wasn't toting a shotgun.
Eventually the error was fixed, and the video replayed from the beginning until the audience cheered Dunham's arrival, though at first he indulged some puppet-free stand-up humor that included multiple stories about his personal life -- getting his first dummy for Christmas in 1970, anecdotes about his three daughters and his divorce from his wife of 15 years.
The latter is something Dunham rarely touches on, but in comedic fashion he forged ahead, talking about how there are "no more girlie crap decorations" in his home and how his single-guy pad now looks like "a 14-year-old boys room … there are robots, dummies, some Star Wars stuff.'"
Yet, though that portion of his performance was mostly entertaining, the crowd quickly grew restless. Dunham picked up on the cues: "I know you didn't come to see me. We have people in boxes, and I'll get to them."
Dunham first brought out his grumpy old man, Walter. Since his work last year landed Dunham at No. 3 on Forbes Magazine's list of the highest-paid comedians in the U.S. -- he's able to sell out 10,000-plus capacity arenas these days -- the comedian poked fun at this OC Fair gig via Walter's tell-it-like-it-is persona.
"What the hell? We're outside," Walter said as Dunham propped him up on a stool. "Where has your career gone? We're doing a show at a fair? Your career is booming now. What's next, the circus?"
Achmed the Dead Terrorist – a skeleton suicide bomber – also made an appearance, though for a while it felt as if the audience was holding its breath, waiting for the puppet's one famous line. Dunham didn't keep them waiting: "Silence! I keeeeel you!"
Dunham's most annoying puppet, Peanut, was also part of the show. Really? He can't kill off this purple woozle? I don't even know what Peanut is, but he takes Dunham from reasonably funny to Teletubby lame in seconds. The hyperactive, high-pitched noises and quirky on-stage mannerisms start grating quickly.
José Jalapeño on a Stick -- literally a giant jalapeño-pepper puppet on a stick, wearing a sombrero -- usually provides for some good material, but Dunham hardly used him and his jokes seemed to fall flat.
That said, Dunham remains an amazing ventriloquist; his lips never seem to move and he can do crazy things with his voice. Most impressively, when he was holding Achmed, he was able to throw his voice to make it seem that Walter, locked away in his trunk, was talking from inside.
Dunham's talents also shine when he has two characters out at once -- like Peanut and José Jalapeño, for instance. He can go back and forth between voices while remembering to speak his own dialogue, all without skipping a beat. It's like patting your head, chewing gum, walking and rubbing your stomach all at once – in front of thousands of people.
Dunham shamelessly plugged his appearance in the coming Steve Carell comedy Dinner for Schmucks, for which Dunham created a new female puppet named Diane for his role. After showing an extended trailer for the feature film, Dunham brought out Diane, basically a promiscuous lush, during his encore. Unfortunately, he isn't so great at imitating a female voice; Diane mostly sounded like a mix of Achmed and Walter. Maybe the kinks on this one aren't quite all worked out, but for now -- not impressive.
Comedian and guitarist Brian Haner, also known as just "Guitar Guy," opened the show with a few songs, including one that showcased his support for the Arizona immigration law. Half of the audience cheered; the other half, well, not so much. (To be fair, he did preface it by saying his wranglers warned him not to sing it, followed by: "I believe in what I believe in, and if that offends you ... too bad.")
Haner's comedy is just so-so, but his guitar playing is pretty tremendous. Fun local fact: Haner is the father of Brian Haner Jr., aka Synyster Gates, guitarist for Huntington Beach metal band Avenged Sevenfold. It's easy to see where his son gets his musical talents.

Bad dreams and nightmares are among the most startling and emotionally potent of remembered dreams. Even a partially remembered disturbing dream can linger in our waking minds. But what do we know about this phenomenon of disturbed dreaming? And what's the difference between a bad dream and a nightmare?
There is now good evidence that parts of the brain may be awake while other parts are asleep. Sleepwalking is a premiere example: The portion of the brain capable of generating complex behaviors is awake while those portions which normally monitor our activity and lay down memory of our behaviors are asleep.

Holly was still staring at him trying to make sense of the streak of silver that had appeared where she touched. She did something unexpected then, she walked towards him cautiously. She removed the handkerchief from his pocket with shaking hands and gently started to wipe away the make up.
The Spine caught her hand. "Why?"
She remained silent as she continued to wipe it away. The Spine let her, feeling it was the least he could do to show her who he really was.
"I guess I should properly introduce myself," he said once she finished. "Hi. I'm The-"
She cut him off. "I know who you are. I didn't recognize you under all that makeup
. Spine."
He flinched when she said his name. The truth was out, and she hadn't run away yet, this was a good sign, but then again, she hadn't truly reacted yet.
"Why didn't you tell me instead of all this?" She held up the makeup covered handkerchief.
"Most people find my
.. appearance, to be rather intimidating. I just wanted to go out for a night and feel normal.
Holly sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Why would you want to be normal? Normal is boring and uninteresting and," she sighed once again. "It's everything that you're not." She looked sown at the ground unsure of what else to say.
"I would give anything to be normal for a day
" he said longingly. He paused for a moment, "I should go now, shouldn't I?"
Holly kissed him, a kiss saying that it was all okay. "Does that answer your question?" she asked teasingly. She kissed him again, The Spine smiled against her lips, happy that she didn't feel betrayed.
The door to her opened behind them. Aaron's head peeked out. "Holly you out- What the hell?!" He shouted as he took in the sight of Holly kissing The Spine.
Holly was suddenly ripped from The Spine's arms by her angry brother.
"Holly?! I thought you were on a date! What are you doing with this," He gestured at The Spine. "scrap heap?" He spit the last two words as though disgusted with himself for saying them.
The Spine released an involuntary puff of steam at the insult.
Holly pulled her arm out of her brother's grip. :This 'scrap heap' " she mocked his tone, :is my date, and HE has a name."
"What happened to that guy Roy? What are you lying to me now too?!"
The Spine stepped forward hoping to diffuse the situation. "Maybe I can-"
Aaron cut him off with a sneer. "I'll get to you in a minute."
Holly glared at Aaron. "You won't be getting to anything in a minute Aaron. This is Roy, his real name is The Spine. he may be a robot, but he has been nothing but a perfect kind to me since we met."
Aaron laughed sarcastically. "Oh, so you're dating robots now? That's a real improvement."
"it's better than the bimbos you bring home!" She spat back at him.
"What would dad think if he could see you right now?!" He obviously struck a chord as tears sprung to her eyes. The look of regret that crossed his features showed he had never meant them, but it was too late to take them back. Holly turned from him and walked away, passing The Spine. "Holly wait! I didn't mean it, Holly!" he shouted after her.
The Spine followed her without a word as she walked away. "Holly
." he said softly once they had gotten several houses away.
She stopped and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I'm sorry you had to see that." she said quietly.
He wrapped his arms around her as she continued to cry. "do you want me to take you home? he asked after her tears had subsided.
She shook her head. "i can't go back there. Not tonight."
The Spine sighed. "Do you need a place to sleep? The Walter manor has plenty of rooms
She looked up at him with a mix of confusion and thankfulness. "Do you really mean that? I mean you barely know me."
"I could never leave someone as beautiful as you out in the cold." He said charmingly. He pulled out his phone and dialed Michael. "Mr. Reed? I was wondering if you could take us home." A short pause. "Yes I said us." Another short pause. "Holly and I." Another pause, "Yes I know that. There's really no other choice here." He paused for another moment. "Can you have Brianna prepare a guest room?" Another pause and The Spine responded semi-angrily, "Yes, Mr. Reed, a guest room, is that a problem?" A final short pause before The Spine responded, "Good, then I'll see you in a few minutes." He put away his phone without another word.
He looked at Holly, she was shaking slightly. "You're cold." he stated. Before she could protest he placed his jacket around her shoulders, and they waited for Michael Reed.
Back at the Walter Manor Paige and Rabbit found themselves in the living room once again, settling in to watch a movie. Paige settled onto to the couch, far closer to Rabbit than she had before, he draped an arm around her before poking her and saying "You're not gonna fall asleep this are-are-are you?"
Her only response was to smile and snuggle closer to him. Her head rested against his blue matter reactor, the soft whir mesmerizing her as she tried to focus on the movie. Rabbit had given up all allusions of watching the movie long before it had started. He watched Paige, the little ways she shifted as she breathed, the movement of her black lips as she mouthed along to her favorite lines.
She was beautiful, and she was his. For all his life he had shared with his younger brothers, but this? This was something they could never have. Paige looked up at him, she had lost interest in the movie a long time ago, content to listen to the hum of his core. He kissed her gently, savoring the moment. He moved a strand of hair away from her face. He had known her for only a few months, when she began to work at the manor, but right then, he knew. "I l-l-love ya, Paige."
She looked up at him with sweet eyes and said, "I love you too Rabbit." before sealing it with a kiss.
Part 15 will have more Holly/The Spine, Paige/Rabbit, and Hatchworth in the next chapter
I do not own Steam Powered Giraffe or the characters in any way. I only own Holly and Aaron.

Very adorable with Rabbit and Paige! But what happened to Brianna? XD
i love the rabbit and Paige moments. it so ADORABLE!! even if they are short stories, i still really enjoy them. keep up the awesome work!
I promise there will be more Rabbit/Paige in the very near future. I never intended to pair them originally it just happened, and now that it has I've had continual requests for more Rabbit and Paige, and I promise they won't all be so short, that was me trying to fit a sweet moment into the end of the chapter, for my sake as well as the fans
I don't mind that the stories are short. And fitting in a sweet moment at the end if very good.i love sweet moments!
Well there will be some longer ones in the future, I'm nt exactly the best at writing those scenes, I've only ever been on one date and that was 2 1/2years ago. Romance isn't exactly my forte.
Ooohhh my goodnes. This is.. This is just too adorable!
glad you're enjoying it! Things are about two steps from the most complicated (and coolest by far) plot line I have EVER written so hold onto your hat!
Gorgeous bit of fiction, but I think you should read this and the other entries aloud to yourself and remedy the grammatical errors and put in the words that are missing here and there. It's getting really REALLY cute!
I know I have grammar erros, problem is my mom is an english major so when I edit myself I end up with a mangled piece of what it used to be, I have an editor he's just currently 'out of commision' at the moment so to speak, he's going to help me out once he gets some much needed sleep

Study: In Rush Hour, Bikes Move Just As Fast As Cars
French researchers just released what they say is the "first robust" study of urban bike riding. It might seem obvious to urban dwellers, but they found that bikers rode just as fast as cars during rush hour. The researchers conducted their research in Lyon, France, home of a massive bike-sharing program. They analyzed 11.6 million trips taken during two years.
Eric Jaffe at the Infrastructurist blog explains the numbers:
On early weekday mornings, before rush hour, Lyon bicyclers reached an average speed of 14.5 kilometers per hour (roughly 9 miles per hour) — though "experienced or hurried" riders got up to 20 k.p.h. (12 m.p.h.), the authors report. During morning rush hours the average bicyclist's speed dropped to 13.5 k.p.h. (8.4 m.p.h.). Still, that figure compares very favorably with the average car's speed in a downtown European city, which ranges from 10 to 15 k.ph. (6.2 to 9.3 m.p.h.).
If you add the time it takes to find parking, the authors of the study note, bicycles easily make for a speedier commute.

Col. Lewis G. Brewer, Esquire For the respondent Mr. Frederick L. Small For the Charging Party Ira Sandron, Esquire For the General Counsel, FLRA Before: GARVIN LEE OLIVER Administrative Law Judge DECISION Statement of the Case This decision concerns an unfair labor practice complaint issued by the Regional Director, Region III, Federal Labor Relations Authority, Washington, D.C., against the Air Force District of Washington (Respondent), based on a charge filed by the AFGE-GAIU Council of HQUSAF Locals, AFL-CIO (Charging Party or Union). The complaint alleged, in substance, that Respondent violated section 7116(a)(1), (5) and (8) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, 5 U.S.C. section 7101 et. seq. (the Statute), by refusing to furnish the Union with the names and addresses of all employees within the bargaining unit pursuant to section 7114(b)(4) of the Statute. Respondent's answer admitted the jurisdictional allegations as to Respondent, the Union, and the charge, but denied any violation of the Statute. A hearing was held in Washington, D.C. The Respondent, Charging Party, and the General Counsel were represented and afforded full opportunity to be heard, adduce relevant evidence, examine and cross-examine witnesses, and file post-hearing briefs. The Respondent and General Counsel filed helpful briefs. Based on the entire record, including my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor, I make the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations. Findings of Fact 1. At all times material, the Union has been and remains the exclusive representative of Respondent's employees in an appropriate unit consisting of all General Schedule and Wage Grade nonsupervisory, nonprofessional employees. On May 12, 1986, the Regional Director, FLRA, Region III, issued an Amendment of Certification and Clarification of Unit in Cases 3-AC-60001 and 3-CU-60001, respectively. Employees in ten additional organizations located at Bolling Air Force Base, Arlington, Virginia, and Alexandria, Virginia were added to the unit. This resulted in the addition of approximately 450 employees to an existing unit of approximately 1,800 employees. 2. Unit employees are located at several locations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area from Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland on the east to Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia on the west. They are also located at Bolling Air Force Base, the Pentagon, Baileys Crossroads, and Arlington, Virginia. Employees are spread over a geographical area of approximately twelve miles. The bulk of unit employees, approximately 1500, are located at the Pentagon. Approximately ninety percent of the approximately 450 new employees added to unit were located at Bolling Air Force Base. 3. Respondent's predecessor and the Union entered into a collective bargaining agreement effective for three years from the execution date of September 30, 1977. It was renewed automatically pursuant to its terms. On May 28, 1986, the parties entered into a "Memorandum of Understanding for Negotiation of Expired Agreements." No actual negotiations on the terms of a new contract have taken place to date. Proposals are scheduled for exchange in December 1986. 4. Edward N. Giddings is the Commander of Respondent and Tom Conner is Respondent's Labor Relations Officer at its Washington, D.C. location (G.C. Exh. No. 1(f), par. 4; G.c. Exh. 1(g), par. 1) Prior to April 10, 1986 Respondent's headquarters was located at Bolling Air Force Base, District of Columbia (G.C. Exh. 5, 6). As of April 10, 1986 Respondent was using a Washington, D.C. 20330-6420 address which, from later correspondence, appears to be located at the Pentagon (G.C. Exh. 1(a). 5. By letter dated April 9, 1986 Union president Frederick L. Small proposed an additional agenda for a scheduled monthly meeting between the parties in view of the recent expansion of the bargaining unit. He requested a list of all bargaining unit employees and their home addresses. By letter dated April 11, 1986, Mr. Small also requested the names and home addresses of fourteen additional employees who had been placed under Respondent for personnel servicing as of April 1, 1986. 6. Union president Small advised Respondent's labor relations officer, Tom Conner, on April 16, 1986 that with the accretion of bargaining unit employees the Union needed the home addresses in order to communicate with bargaining unit members. 7. The Union requested the names and home addresses for the primary purpose of using them to communicate with the bargaining unit members it represents. Union president Small has also considered using the home addresses to recruit new Union members. 8. By letter dated April 22, 1986 Respondent, by its agent Tom Conner, denied the Union's request for the home addresses of all unit employees. Respondent stated, in part, as follows: In balancing the employees' right to privacy against the public interest in disclosure, the Employer must respectfully deny the Union's request for home addresses. Employees have a strong privacy interest in their home addresses. Disclosure could subject the employee to an unchecked barrage of mailings and perhaps personal solicitations, for no effective restraints can be placed on the range of uses to which the information, once revealed might be put. In arriving at such conclusion, it is noted that the Union had not indicated why the information is necessary to the fulfillment of its representational obligations. Additionally, the Union has not indicated how the addresses will be protected from unauthorized use/release. Moreover, Local 1092 was certified as the exclusive bargaining representative on 7 February 1972 and long standing established alternative means of communicating directly with unit employees have clearly been adequate and effective. In this regard, the Union is able to communicate with unit employees through the use of reserved union bulletin board space (see MOA, Article 21, Sections 6 and 7), through the nonduty hour use of meeting facilities (see MOA, Article 21, Section 4); through the use of a weekly information bulletin (see MOA Article 21, Section 1), through the use of desk drops (see MOA, Article 3, Section 4); through on-site distribution of material during nonduty time of the participants (see MOA Article 3, Section 4), and through the use of its network of officers and stewards with access to unit employees (see MOA, Article 4, Sections 3 and 4). 9. The parties stipulated that the information requested by the Union is normally maintained by Respondent in the regular course of business and does not constitute guidance, advice, counsel, or training for managemant officials or supervisors relating to collective bargaining, and I so find. (Tr. 7). 10. Respondent does not have a complete list of the names and home addresses of bargaining unit employees. The Civilian Payroll and Account System, Randolph Air Force Base Texas maintains the home addresses of all of Respondent's employees, about 3,900, but not whether they are in or out of the bargaining unit. Respondent maintains a separate list of bargaining unit employees, without their home addresses. In order to compile the home addresses of bargaining unit members a computer program would have to be written which would extract that information from the two separate lists. It would take a computer programmer one or two days to design such a program. Respondent could also compile the information manually by having a clerical employee check and reconcile the list of bargaining unit employees (totaling about 2250 to 2500) against the list of names and addresses of all employees (totaling approximately 3,900). 11. The Union has the following existing means of communicating with bargaining unit employees. a. List of bargaining unit members. In March 1986 the Union was provided a list of the names and duty station abbreviations of bargaining unit employees. The duty location was designated by a four-letter code or abbreviation. Telephone numbers were not provided. The Union was provided a description of some, but not all, of the duty locations corresponding to the abbreviations. The Union did not request Respondent for an explanation of the unidentified abbreviations. b. Union use of weekly information bulletin. Under Article 21, Section 1 of the agreement the Union is allotted up to one half page of each bulletin for appropriate Union correspondence, notices, and other matters concerning the relationship between unit employees and the Employer. In September 1986, the Union president prepared an article for publication requesting employees to volunteer for a team to deal with contracting out matters and to submit a proposed name for the team. Respondent rejected the article as "not appropriate for publication." c. Union bulletin board space. Article 21, Section 6 of the agreement provides for Union bulletin board space in the Pentagon and "other buildings where there are 10 or more unit employees." The Union has five bulletin boards at the Pentagon. It does not now have bulletin boards elsewhere. d. Nonduty hour activity and desk drops. Article 3, Section 4 of the agreement recognizes that employees of the unit may conduct internal Union activity during nonduty hours. It also provides that desk drops will be arranged by mutual agreement. The Union has never attempted desk drops. It attributes this to the fact that many employees are scattered throughout the Washington area and much of the working space is locked after duty hours. e. Union meetings. Article 21, Section 4 of the agreement provides that whenever practicable meeting facilities will be made available for Union activities during nonduty hours or during duty hours as specifically provided for by the agreement. The Union holds monthly meetings. The average attendance is approximately ten employees. f. Officers andstewards. Article 4, Section 3 and 4 of the agreement provides for Union officers and up to 15 stewards "so each employee in the unit will have reasonable access to a steward." The Union has 15 officers and stewards. It does not now have stewards at the Andrews Air Force Base, Baileys Crossroads, Cameron Station, or Fern Street Annex locations. g. Union office space and telephone. Article 21, Section 7 provides office space for use of the Union. The Union office has a telephone. The Union has not been furnished the telephone numbers of unit employees. Respondent's telephone book has not been updated to include all bargaining unit employees. As of the date of the hearing, Respondent has refused to provide the Union with the information requested. Discussion, Conclusions, and Recommendations The General Counsel contends that the information is "reasonably available" within the requirement of section 7114(b)(4)(b) of the Statute, /1/ and the Authority's decision in Farmers Home Administration Office, St. Louis, Missouri, 23 FLRA No. 101 (1986), which was rendered after the hearing in this case, is dispositive of Respondent's other defenses. Therefore, the General Counsel claims that Respondent violated section 7116(a)(1), (5) and (8) of the Statute by refusing to provide the Union with the names and home addresses of bargaining unit employees pursuant to section 7114(b)(4). Respondent defends on the basis that the information was neither "normally maintained" nor "reasonably available" within the meaning of section 7114(b)(4)(A) and (B) of the Statute since the agency must either write a new computer program or have clerical personnel reconcile two separate lists. Respondent also argues that the Authority should follow the decision of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 1923 v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, 712 F.2d 931 (4th Cir. 1983) in this case since it asserts that the matter arose at the Pentagon located in the State of Virginia, within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. (See Finding 4). As found above (Finding No. 9), the parties stipulated at the hearing that the information requested by the Union "is normally maintained by Respondent in the regular course of business." Therefore, no consideration can be given to Respondent's post-hearing argument to the contrary. It is also concluded that the information is "reasonably available" despite the fact that Respondent could compile the information only by having a computer programmer write a new computer program or by having clerical personnel reconcile two separate lists. The Authority has rejected identical arguments that such efforts to compile the information would place an undue burden or expense on an agency. In Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center, St. Louis, Missouri, 19 FLRA No. 85 (1985), the agency also contended that the home addresses were not "reasonably available" because it would be necessary to pull the personnel files and hand record the addresses, with no guarantee of their accuracy, or develop a program for its computer at a cost that would go as high as $736. 19 FLRA at 690. The Authority's decision on remand, 24 FLRA No. 5 (1986), rejected these arguments and held that "the names and home addresses of the unit employees are reasonably available to the Respondent and . . . it would not place an undue burden on the Respondent to provide the Union with the information requested." In Department of the Air Force, Scott Air Force Base, 24 FLRA No. 28 (1986) the agency made similar arguments. The Authority again held that the home addresses were "reasonably available." Respondent claims that disclosure of the home addresses is "prohibited by law" and is not "necessary" within the meaning of section 7114(b)(4)(B). Respondent asserts that the Union did not submit any justification for its request and has alternative means to reach the employees it represents. The Authority's decision in Farmers Home Administration, Finance Office, St. Louis, Missouri, 23 FLRA No. 101 (October 31, 1986) is both controlling and dispositive of Respondent's contentions. Thus, the Authority held, in part, as follows: "On balance, we find that the public interest to be furthered by providing the Union with an efficient method to communicate with unit employees it must represent far outweighs the privacy interests of individual employees in their names and home addresses. Disclosure of the requested information would not constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and does not fall within the (b)(6) exemption to the FOIA. Since the information does not fall within the exemption, its disclosure is required under the FOIA and, under exception (b)(2) to the Privacy Act, its release is not prohibited by law. (23 FLRA No. 101 at p. 6). . . . . ". . . we conclude that the disclosure of the names and home addresses of bargaining unit employees to the Union is necessary within the meaning of section 7114(b)(4) of the Statute for the Union to discharge its statutory obligations. Consistent with that conclusion, we find that the disclosure of the information sought here falls within the routine use established by OPM, and its disclosure is therefore a routine use under exception (b)(3) of the Privacy Act. Therefore, even if the disclosure was not authorized under exception (b)(2) of the Privacy Act, relating to the FOIA, it is authorized under exception (b)(3). "Release of the requested information is therefore not prohibited by law. It may be released pursuant to exceptions (b)(2) and (3) of the Privacy Act. (23 FLRA No. 101 at p. 7). ". . . We find that the statutory requirement concerning sufficiency of a request under section 7114(b)(4) is request satisfied for requests such as that involved here when a general written request for the information is made. A precise explication of the reasons for the request involved here is not necessary . . . an exclusive representative's need for the names and home addresses of the bargaining unit employees it is required to represent is so apparent and essentially related to the nature of exclusive representation itself, that unlike requests for certain types of other information, an agency's duty to supply names and home addresses information does not depend upon any separate explanation by the union, of its reasons for seeking the information. (23 FLRA No. 101, at p. 8). . . . . "We will not review the adequacy of alternative methods of communication on a case-by-case basis . . . we find that the mere existence of alternative means of communication is insufficient to justify a refusal to release the information. Further, we find that it is

Although women have no choice with drooping—it's going to happen with time—wearing an underwire bra helps prolong sagging.
Large breasted ladies, with or without implants, should wear great lifting underwire bras. Light, lacy bras are gorgeous, but it's not the best way to fight gravity since there is no support.
Although women have no choice with drooping—it's going to happen with time—wearing an underwire bra helps prolong sagging.
Photo credit: Bare Necessities
When I train female clients, I tell them that I do not want to see an ounce of bounce during high intensity workouts. In other words; wear a good sports bra.
Some of my clients are very well endowed (up to K), while others are smaller. Regardless of size, it's important to "tame the beast" and keep bounce to a minimum. Because of this, I have been on the hunt for sports bras that minimize bounce, and have been able to find some that may be of interest to women who exercise.
Below you'll see three bra brands that got the thumbs-up from my clients, and me, who swear by the bras we wear.

In this Article
What are complications of untreated panic attacks?
Without treatment, panic attacks tend to occur repeatedly for months or years. While they typically begin in young adulthood, the symptoms may arise earlier or later in life in some people. Complications, which are symptoms that can develop as a result of continued panic attacks and develop into other mental illnesses, may include specific irrational fears (phobias), especially of leaving home (agoraphobia), avoidance of social situations, depression, work or school problems, suicidal thoughts or actions, financial problems, and alcohol or other substance abuse. Panic disorder also predisposes sufferers to developing heart disease and of dying prematurely.
If left untreated, anxiety may worsen to the point at which the person's life is seriously affected by panic attacks and by attempts to avoid or conceal them. In fact, many people have had problems with friends and family, failed in school, and/or lost jobs while struggling to cope with panic attacks. There may be periods of spontaneous improvement in the attacks, but panic attacks do not usually go away unless the person receives treatments designed specifically to help people with panic attacks.
What is the prognosis for panic disorder?
Often, a combination of psychotherapy and medications produces good results in the treatment of panic disorder. Improvement is usually noticed in a fairly short period of time, about two to three months. Thus, appropriate treatment for panic disorder can prevent panic attacks or at least substantially reduce their severity and frequency, bringing significant relief to 70%-90% of people with panic disorder. More than 18% of people who are assessed but not treated for this condition tend to relapse in less than two years.

in response to Mikesa21 SolvedThere are a couple of different folder options under File. The first folder option you see in iTunes is for adding a playlist folder to your iTunes source list. If you have a lot of playlists you can organise them by creating folders and dragging different playlists into the folder of your choice: iTunes for Windows - Organizing playlists into folders
The other option File>Add Folder to Library is for adding music or video files to your iTunes Library. Photos are not added to your library. In the case of photo, iTunes is only used to select a folder of photos on your hard drive to sync with the iPod
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading and managing photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive (in Windows Explorer) to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select "Synch photos from."
4 Choose "Choose Folder" from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod

A Wonderful Work, i like both Ciel and Niege, and the Background too, even though i think that the clouds without the "Outlines" would had look better (you know like in some of the RockMan Dash artworks that the clouds are just White in a form like you did, but without the outlines.)
Anyway, I must this pic!
