Phantom Pregnancy in Dogs
Hi! I thought I'd write a bit about a common problem, especially in unspayed bitches like my own black labrador, Willow.Selective breeding has led to our domestic dogs becoming sexually mature at an earlier age. In addition domestic bitches (except African breeds) have twice as many seasons as wild wolves. In this article I will outline a little about the physiology of pregnancy and false pregnancy (pseudocyesis), and ways in which we can help bitches with either true or false pregnancies.The Oestrus Cycle: Female dogs have a season every 8-9 months. Initially there will be vulval swelling associated with a blood stained discharge. During this phase (proestrus) she will flirt with males.In the second phase, Oestrus, the vaginal discharge changes from blood-stained to straw coloured. Ovulation occurs, and the female is most fertile.The next phase, dioestrus, is when the bitch is hormonally pregnant. The corpus luteum, formed at ovulation in the ovary, matures and produces female sex hormones. These in turn stimulate the secretion of prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary, stimulating milk production in the mammary glands.False pregnancy: The hormonal cycle of the bitch assumes that pregnancy has occurred after every cycle, whether or not a mating has taken place. She will therefore experience the physiological changes of pregnancy over the next 2 months. She will have an increase in progesterone production, milk production and an increase in appetite. She may even go into mild labour.The caregiver may notice physical and emotional changes, particularly 8-9 weeks after her last season. She may exhibit a change in preferred diet to blander food, fluid retention, and a wish not to take her usual amount of exercise, and she may hoard toys and treat them as puppies. There may be restlessness, lack of appetite, panting, trembling, whining and nest-building at the time she would have given birth. There may be a degree of aggression to perceived threats. She will usually return to normal after 2-3 weeks, 48hrs after the birth would have occurred.How we can help: As this is a physiological occurrence which settles over 2-3 weeks, treatment is rarely needed. If possible try to reduce stimulation of the mammary glands, by reducing stroking and wiping, and not allowing the bitch to lick excessively, as these will increase prolactin release and further milk production.Occasionally the bitch may become ill, by producing excessive milk, or other problems. She may need treatment to reduce milk production, such as diuretics or hormone treatment. Although some advocate reduced fluid intake to induce dehydration and reduce milk production, others feel that this may be unsafe.It is rare (but not unknown) for bitches who are spayed (ovariohysterectomised), to exhibit these changes. Although the majority of the hormones are being produced by the ovaries, some are produced in the adrenal glands.Complementary Therapies: Pulsatilla from health food shops has been used with good effect. It can also be used just after a season in a bitch with a history of false pregnancies.Spiritual healing and Reiki can help the dog accept and work with its hormonal state, and help restore self-healing and homeostasis. It can be supplemented with crystals such as chrysophase, moonstone and blue lace agate.Aromatics that may prove useful include rose, fennel (to dry up lactation) and vanilla. Of the Bach flower remedies, vine, chicory, red chestnut & mustard may be helpful.In this article, I have discussed the physiology of false pregnancy, and suggested ways in which we can help bitches to cope with the pressures involved. Although many advocate spaying as a way of preventing recurrent false pregnancies, this does not always prevent it. Fundamentally, false pregnancy is a natural occurrence in bitches, and usually needs no treatment.The full version of this article is available on my website at: http://www.thenaturallyhealthypet.com/articles/20070824_2 Take care!AlisonDr Alison Grimston Holistic Doctor and Animal HealerWellingham Vane, Wellingham Lane, Ringmer, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 5SNTel : 01273 813 251 Email : firstname.lastname@example.com: www.alisongrimston.co.uk Blog: www.holisticdoctor.typepad.comHoliday Cottage :: Animal Natural Therapies WebsiteTrue Healing Comes from Within

Police say a 15-year-old boy is being held in a psychiatric hospital after he allegedly planned an attack at a school on the anniversary of the Columbine High School killings.
Police say the boy, who has not been identified, stockpiled gasoline, propane, fuses and a machete. The boy was arrested Monday evening after police searched his home in Monroe, 45 miles northwest of New York City. Police say he told them he planned to attack the Monroe-Woodbury High School in Orange County on April 20 and was looking to buy an assault rifle.
Police say the boy recently transferred to another school and harbored grudges against former classmates. Police say it appears he acted alone. Monroe-Woodbury Superintendent Joseph DiLorenzo said the willingness of students to come forward with information averted any threat to the district.

Bowles wins at All American Speedway
By: Staff Report
Holmes' fifth-place finish good enough for season points title
Jason Bowles from Ontario, Ca. led for just 11 of the 157 laps at the Toyota/Napa Auto Parts 150 on Saturday night at All American Speedway, but 10 of those trips at the head of the pack were at the end of the race as Bowles took the checkered flag. Bowles, second in the NASCAR Camping World Series West standings, bested Mike David of Modesto by .371 seconds in a race that lasted just over one hour and three minutes. Moses Smith of Tempe, Az. finished third. Paulie Harraka of Wayne, N.J. and season points leader Eric Holmes of Escalon took turns at the head of the pack, with Bowles holding the lead position for just the second circuit of the track, for much of the race. Bowles made his move in the 148th lap, moving ahead of Holmes to take a lead he would not relinquish. Greg Rayl of Roseville finished 17th in the field of 24 cars. The top finishers at All American Speedway on Saturday night: 1. Jason Bowles, Ontario, Calif., Ford, 157 laps, 49.634 mph, $7,000. 2. Mike David, Modesto, Calif., Toyota, 157, $4,600. 3. Moses Smith, Tempe, Ariz., Toyota, 157, $3,000. 4. Todd Souza, Aromas, Calif., Chevrolet, 157, $2,600. 5. Eric Holmes, Escalon, Calif., Toyota, 157, $3,050. 6. Paulie Harraka, Wayne, N.J., Toyota, 157, $3,250. 7. Jamie Dick, Albuquerque, N.M., Chevrolet, 157, $4,015. 8. Wes Banks, Oakdale, Calif., Ford, 157, $1,675. 9. David Mayhew, Atascadero, Calif., Chevrolet, 157, $2,150. 10. Jim Inglebright, Fairfield, Calif., Chevrolet, 157, $2,125.

By most accounts, Georgia' first day of spring practice went about how head coach Mark Richt expected it would.
Not that he considered that a bad thing. On the contrary:
"You can see certain veterans that just understand the system, they're in tremendous shape and their technique is outstanding," Richt said. "(Wide receiver) Michael Moore is an example of that. (Cornerback) Prince Miller is an example of that. You can just see guys like that can understand what's going on out there. Mostly, everyone of the seniors knows what's going on, but there's a pretty good gap between the guys who understand what to do and the ones who are still unsure. But that's to be expected. That's what these first few days are about, teaching and hopefully where you can get it enough to compete full speed."
Much of Richt's early attention was focused on freshmen quarterbacks Zach Mettenberger and Aaron Murray, who along with offensive lineman Dallas Lee are the Bulldogs' three early enrollees taking part in their first collegiate drills.
As expected, their days met with mixed results.
"(Tuesday) was a day to gauge a lot of things and they were typical true freshmen, being a little nervous and had a hard time hitting their targets, not good with their footwork, still learning to call plays in the huddle and learning their cadence," Richt said. "But there's no question that these are two very talented guys. We're excited at how they can throw the ball and Coach (Mike) Bobo has been very happy with them in the meeting room and quickly they've picked up things off the board."
Richt's only regret Tuesday was that more players could not take part in the first of the spring's 15 practices.
Green jerseys dotted the Woodruff Practice Facility everywhere he turned.
"We've got over 20 guys that could have been playing who are not," Richt said. "Last year we had four who could not participate. When we started our mat drill program this year, we were already well over 20."
But not all the players in green simply stood idly by.
Left tackle Trinton Sturdivant (ACL) watched intently as offensive line coach Stacy Searels put his charges through their initial paces, while Jeff Owens did the same with the rest of the defensive linemen.
Richt praised the leadership of senior quarterback Joe Cox, but also had kind words for backup Logan Gray who he said was particularly impressive on this first day.
"Logan had a very good today. It's very obvious he knows what to do, his footwork was right, he knew how to play-fake, run the boot-leg and threw the ball extremely well," Richt said. "We've taken Logan out of any special teams meetings the rest of the spring so he'll spend the entire time in quarterback meetings and go through all the quarterback drills."
Running back Caleb King got a quick leg up on the competition for the starting tailback spot where he's currently competing for the top spot with redshirt freshman Carlton Thomas with Richard Samuel and Dontavius Jackson out for spring with their respective injuries.
"Caleb has a great chance to show the coaches that he knows what he's doing and he looked good today," Richt said. "He lined up with No. 1 unit today with Richard not participating but Carlton got in some good work, too. He's coming along."
Georgia will practice again on Wednesday and Friday before going full pads for the first time Saturday morning in preparation for the G-Day Game scheduled for April 11 at Sanford Stadium.
NOTES: With Pro Day set to begin Thursday at approximately 10 a.m., many of the former Bulldogs scheduled to take part are already in Athens. That list includes Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno and Dannell Ellerbe who attended Tuesday's practice.
Former Bulldog and current NFL free agent George Foster was also on hand.
Twenty-nine media members were on hand for the Bulldogs' first day of spring drills.
Redshirt freshman Jeremy Longo did not practice today suffering from an undisclosed illness but is expected back Wednesday.
Richt said son Jon, who asked for his release from Clemson, will transfer to either a Football Championship Subdivision team (I-AA) or one in Division II. Richt said his son would like to stay in state, but has not ruled out looking elsewhere if an opportunity does not arise. Jon Richt made his decision to leave Clemson last Monday, but his father joked that he did not find out until Wednesday as he was in Mexico with the rest of the coaches on their annual pre-spring retreat and did not have his cell phone turned on.

Topic: AdVenture Capitalist: General / Micromanagement was a Poor Design Decision
The micromanagement doesn't "keep me there" at all. In fact, it helps me leave, when I wouldn't want to because an important expensive milestone can be reached "in just 5 more minutes." Instead, I can pull some strings for a little accelerated output, reach the milestone, and walk away satisfied and running optimally in 1 minute.
That's the way I see it anyway – a tool that respects my time and makes the game just a little flexible towards my schedule or priorities.

Temperate rainforests
Temperate rainforest in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. (Wrin, via Wikimedia Commons)
This article draws upon the work of numerous writers, published by Ecotrust in the cited works below, and was also contributed to by Malka Geffen of Ecotrust.
Temperate rainforests have been recognized as a distinct biome throughout the 20th century, although ecologists have not used the term uniformly. Most vegetation classification schemes use vegetation structure (and, secondarily, unique fauna) to define biomes, but temperate rain forests can be structurally similar to nearby forest types. Temperate rainforests are also difficult to define floristically because they share species with warmer and drier forest types.
Studying the temperate rainforests of North America, ecologist Paul Alaback defined the most widely recognized criteria for the biome: over 1400 millimeters annual precipitation, cool summers stemming from an equable year-round climate, mean annual temperature between 4 and 12 degrees Celsius, and infrequent fire.
Location and General Description
Temperate rainforests are coniferous or broadleaf forests that occur in mid-latitude areas of high rainfall. Most temperate rainforests occur where mountain ranges are close to the coast, giving rise to the term "coastal temperate rainforest." Coastal temperate rain forests occur in the oceanic moist climates of western North America, southwestern South America, Western Europe, southeastern Australia and western New Zealand and possess remarkable ecological similarities.
Worldwide, coastal temperate rainforests are not common. Of the world's estimated 1.3 billion hectares of temperate forest, the historic extent of coastal temperate rain forest totaled thirty to forty million hectares (2–3 percent), scarcely one-thousandth of the earth's land surface. Tropical rain forests once covered roughly forty times more land. Though both forest types have been drastically reduced, over 30 hectares of tropical rainforest stand for every intact hectare of coastal temperate rain forest.
The largest contiguous coastal temperate rainforest traces the northwestern maritime margin of North America: from Kodiak Island in Alaska south through British Columbia to California's redwood fogbelt. This region includes about half the remaining worldwide distribution of coastal temperate rainforest. The coastal temperate rain forests in Oregon and Washington have a distinctive dry summer season. In these forests, catastrophic fires occur every 3 to 6 centuries. By contrast, the temperate rainforests of southeastern Alaska and northern British Columbia have high annual precipitation distributed throughout the year. In this perhumid zone, wind is the dominant natural disturbance regime, while fire is comparatively rare. This zone also encompasses some of the largest remaining intact landscapes outside of the tropics.
Biodiversity Features
While tropical rainforests contain a diversity of plant and animal species vastly disproportionate to the area they occupy, coastal temperate rain forests contain a similarly disproportionate share of biological production. Coastal temperate rain forests accumulate and store more organic matter than any other forest type — as much as 500–2,000 metric tons of wood, foliate, leaf litter, moss, other living plants, and soil per hectare.
Temperate rainforests include some of the longest-lived and massive tree species in the world, such as coastal redwood in California, red gum in Australia and alerce in Chile. Some individual trees in temperate rain forests have grown for two millennia and surpass six meters in diameter.
All temperate rain forests have thick layers of epiphytes — plants that drape the bark, twigs and branches of dominant trees. Most of the world's temperate rain forests are evergreen — needle-leaved in the northern hemisphere and broadleaved in the southern hemisphere — which allows these trees to actively grow throughout much of the year and minimizes nutrient demands.
The marine waters adjacent to temperate rain forests are productive as well. The upwelling zones and coldwater currents that bathe the edges of coastal temperate rain forests account for a substantial share of the biological production of the oceans. The productivity of coastal temperate rain forest ecosystems is enhanced by the nutrients and organic debris washed out of coastal watersheds, epitomizing the concept ecologists call "ecotones" — zones of transition between adjacent ecological systems. The seven anadromous species of Pacific salmon and trout, which range widely in the North Pacific before returning to their natal coastal rain forest streams to spawn, dramatically demonstrate the reciprocity of forest and sea.
Human Impacts
The fecundity and relatively mild maritime climates of coastal temperate rainforests have invited heavy exploitation. Coastal temperate rain forests were among the first landscapes logged when Euro-Americans settled North America's Pacific Coast in the l850s. Widespread clearcut logging of old-growth conifers in this region has resulted in many rain forest valleys becoming industrial tree farms. Monocultural plantations of introduced tree species have also replaced large areas of the native forests of southern coastal Chile and New Zealand. The once-extensive coastal rain forests of the Scottish Highlands are gone, replaced by non-forested heaths and plantations of introduced Sitka spruce and lodgepole pine.
Recent actions taken for the protection of temperate rainforests around the world include the protection of the 400,000-hectare Kitlope Valley — one of the largest remaining intact coastal temperate rainforests in the world — announced by the government of British Columbia on August 16, 1994; the conservation of more than 2 million hectares in the Great Bear Rain forest announced by the government of British Columbia on February 7, 2006; and the incorporation of more than 2 million hectares of Chilean temperate rain forest into the World Network of Biosphere Reserves announced by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization on September 24, 2007.
Industrial exploitation of the lands and waters of the coastal temperate rainforest has meant insecure livelihoods for thousands of residents. Communities dependent on logging, mills and coastal fisheries have seen their prosperity wax and wane with the boom-and-bust cycles typical of raw materials economies. Around the world, residents are seeking to diversify local economies and to capture more of the value of the raw materials harvested and exported from the rainforest fringe.
The growing importance of recreation and tourism in the economies of many coastal areas and the recognition that conventional resource extraction depletes natural capital are forcing a reappraisal of resource-based industries. Conventional logging's true contribution to local economies is exaggerated, for example, by the extent to which associated road building alters flows of nutrients and sediment and thereby reduces the production of coastal fisheries. Modeling of alternative silviculture practices — such as selective logging, longer rotation ages and mixed-age and species retention — suggests that active management can provide significant timber output while maintaining landscape biodiversity.
Through the retention of greater total standing biomass, these types of alternative management practices also store more carbon on the landscape. For forestland owners facing development pressures, the emerging environmental market for carbon storage may be one way to increase profitability, while ensuring the public benefits that these forests provide. Boosting the carbon stored in coastal temperate rain forests can contribute to mitigating, or offsetting, the global emissions of greenhouse gases.

April 30, 2016
Drought has been the major weather headline for the past two years, but officials are urging preparedness for exactly the opposite.
It's Flood Safety Awareness Week nationwide. The recent storms are a reminder that parched grounds can quickly fill up with even only a few hours of torrential rain. Flooding is still the number 1 storm-related killer in the past 30 years -- ahead of lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Officials are urging residents to review how prone they may be to flooding from streams, rivers and oceans.
Take a look at the links below for useful information on causes of flooding, how one can acquire forecasts of heavy rainfall, and even tips of flood insurance and safety.

I really tested this camera out the first two days I had it as I wasn't going to keep it if it was crap. We have printed a number of the many pictures we took and was not dissappointed with any of them. There is no noticable noise, the colours are spectacular, the 5 x zoom for such a compact camera is excellent, all the modes and features, it just does it all. Movie mode is good but can generate some big file sizes. One of the best assets of this camera is the software. Easy to use, quick ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Political Wisdom: Why Did We Take a Chance on Obama?
Here's a summary of the smartest new political analysis on the Web:
by Sara Murray and Gerald F. Seib
Why was America, at a time of war and economic crisis, willing to take a chance on "an unknown Illinois senator with a funny name over a war hero they've known for years?" That's the question Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic puzzles over in the aftermath of President-elect Barack Obama's victory. Part of the reason is the "expansion of the Democratic-leaning electorate by Obama." For one, he did better with Hispanics than John Kerry and "he grew the ranks of younger voters; he grew the African American vote; he did a bit better among white voters, but still lost working class whites by nearly 20 points. Obama won among new voters by more than 30 points."
Partly it's because "Obama is a once-in-a-generation candidate, a brilliant communicator in an age of communication. Cool and consistent under pressure." In part it was because of "the financial crisis, and the candidates' response to it. Probably the crucial moment for both campaigns." And at least part of the answer lies with "Sarah Palin. Polling shows that she drove some voters away from Sen. (John) McCain and to Barack Obama. Voters judged her to be too inexperienced to be president. Also, instead of appealing to independents, she became a polarizing figure."
Speaking of Palin, Karen Breslau of Newsweek looks at where she goes from here—and specifically what she needs to do if she wants to become the republican standard-bearer. "Despite Palin's newfound national profile, she is anything but a sure shot to become the frontrunner for a wounded GOP in 2012," writes Breslau. "Other young, charismatic Republican governors are waiting in the wings: Louisiana's Bobby Jindal and South Carolina's Mark Sanford are already both well known in the conservative movement and are sure to give Palin tough competition. And former Arkansas governor and 2008 dark horse Mike Huckabee (though he's now detoured from politics with his talk show on the FOX News Channel) is also a potential contender."
Breslau advises Palin that she "could start by helping Republican candidates raise money in the 2010 midterms, a strategy that would keep your name in the headlines and at the same time, allow you to put a few favors in the bank, which any good pol knows can be drawn on later." She also needs to get to know all those conservatives who defended her when she was named. "The social and conservative leaders who gushed all over television about Palin in the days following her nomination had never met her. They still haven't. Palin, you need to meet with movement leaders at the local, state and national levels, as well as at the grassroots: first to thank them for their support in 2008, and then to butter them up for 2012."
Meantime an Obama Administration is already getting under way as he asks Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the fourth ranking Democrat in the House, to be his Chief of Staff. Washingtonpost.com's Chris Cillizza breaks down the decision saying, "By acting immediately to fill this important position Obama is showing that, as promised, he will move quickly to fill senior roles in his White House — perhaps cognizant of the slow pace and struggles of former President Bill Clinton during his own transition process in 1992." Emanuel also worked in the Clinton White House and "during that time, Emanuel built a reputation as one of the savviest political minds in the party and also one of the most confrontational and sharp elbowed. His tactics and approach earned him the name 'Rahmbo,'" Cillizza writes. "In pursuing Emanuel, Obama is also sending a message to Capitol Hill that he recognizes the need to work with them by selecting one of their own but that he also will not be afraid to play tough — Emanuel's trademark"
Even though Obama is quick to get his staff organized, Brookings' William Galston cautions him on trying to do too much too soon once he gets in the White House. "The economic pressures on Obama will be intense. He will assume responsibility for implementing a $700 billion financial rescue plan, the ultimate costs of which are almost impossible to assess. Economists of every ideological stripe are recommending an additional fiscal stimulus package of at least $200 billion (some say $300 billion) to counter plunging demand and the threat of deflation. These measures alone will bring the budget deficit within hailing distance of $1 trillion, a number that will give many Americans sticker shock…Some of Obama's advisors are urging him to set aside budget limits, at least in the short term, and their arguments are substantial…If ever there was a case for a major Keynesian stimulus, they add, that time is now. Indeed, the costs of caution may well be greater," Galston writes.
"The risk is that at some point, the rest of the world will become less willing to finance an orgy of American deficit spending and will demand higher interest rates, which could torpedo prospects for sustainable growth. The new administration will have to judge where that point is and be willing to change course if its first guess about the tolerance of global lenders turns out to be wrong," Galston says. "These considerations suggest that it would be wiser to begin by plucking low-hanging fruit–for example, with the children's health care legislation vetoed by President Bush–rather than plunging into the expensive task of subsidizing health care premiums for all currently uninsured Americans. In the same vein, many states have infrastructure projects that they have authorized and approved, but will have to defer because of declining revenues. Giving the states the wherewithal to proceed with these projects as part of the stimulus package may be more prudent than leading off with a long-term infrastructure commitment."

Rabbi Daniel Lapin
October 28, 2012
Dale Carnegie started it with his book How to Win Friends and Influence People. With Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg continues to stress the importance of "friends." But collecting "friends" because of the benefit they bring you is creepy and manipulative. It is certainly no way to form authentic relationships.
This Thursday night, God willing, will be the first of twenty-seven speeches I shall be delivering in the United Kingdom under the auspices of Jeffrey Lestz and the Genistar Corporation. I will be lecturing on the topic of authentic relationship building, chiefly for business but also applicable to friendship and romance. Please forward this link to friends in the UK, so they can join me.
Here is one piece of helpful information I anticipate sharing. Carefully read this verse:
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them… --(Genesis 2:19)
God brought Adam two categories of creatures (i) every beast of the field; (ii) every bird of the air.
Next verse:
And Adam called names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field… --(Genesis 2:20)
Surprisingly, Adam named three categories (i) Cattle, (ii) the birds of the air (iii) the beasts of the field.
We have a problem: Not only does Adam reverse the order of birds and beasts, but he names an entirely new category—cattle.
As is so often true, the answers lie in the Lord's language—Hebrew.
Here are the opening three words from Genesis 2:20. I know you may not read Hebrew (yet) but gaze upon these words as graphic elements. (The middle word is Adam.)
And Adam called names
Now view the Hebrew names for the books of Exodus and Leviticus:
Exodus Leviticus
Do you see the similarities? Ancient Jewish wisdom teaches that the answers to the mysteries of Genesis 2:20 can be found in the transition from Exodus to Leviticus.
The very end of Exodus describes how God cements his relationship with Israel by providing them with ever-present visible protection throughout all their journeys, via Heavenly clouds and a pillar of fire. In response, Leviticus opens with Israel strengthening its relationship with God by bringing Him offerings. The Hebrew word used for offering or sacrifice is Korban which actually means 'getting close'.
In other words, close and authentic relationships are brought about by giving to the other. Find ways to do favors for friends. (If you mistakenly think sacrifice has a negative connotation—as in, "Look how much I sacrificed for you,"—there is an entire chapter on the word Korban and the practical life applications of it in our book Buried Treasure.)
Giving a name is an intimate act of closeness. When we address people by name, we initiate connection and acknowledge their individuality. Parents name newborns; lovers give one another pet names. In naming the creatures, Adam is establishing a relationship between man and animals. Thus, he distinguishes between them, ordering them by degrees of closeness to humans. He first introduces a new category— cattle. Cattle include those animals that work together with humans to the benefit of both. Adam places birds next because birds bring music and color to our homes and gardens. Finally, he names beasts, those animals that avoid human habitation and with whom we have least relationship.

"Friending" people on Facebook is easy. Real relationships demand that we discover ways to do things of value for our new acquaintances. While business connections are essential, forging a special relationship with one individual in marriage is our most important bond. It is so critical, that God embedded directions for doing so in multiple verses at the beginning of Genesis. Delve into the mind-blowing ancient Jewish wisdom on this topic with me through my 2 audio CD set, Madam, I'm Adam: Decoding the Marriage Secrets of Eden. It truly pains my heart to see couples starting marriage or struggling to maintain one without this treasure trove of information from their Creator. I've temporarily reduced the price to make sure you can get—and gift—this precious investment.

Campers stay in equipped cabins that are clean and comfortable. All of the girls bathrooms were overhauled in 2004 and the boys bathrooms will be overhauled this spring. Cabins accommodate 6-12 campers, depending on age, and your campers counselor sleeps in the cabin in their own room. This helps provide privacy, security and comfort for all of the campers. Since the washrooms are in the cabin, young campers feel more comfortable with their nighttime routines. The girls and boys cabins are separated by a field and the Rec Hall to help with privacy and comfort issues.
Sports Department
With a multi use basketball, tennis and floor hockey court, campers can participate in a wide variety of activities. The Sports Department has a wide variety of equipment to provide a diverse program for all campers. Our archery range is nestled away from the rest of the daily activities to provide a safe archery range. There is a new archery range with multiple targets, lacrosse sticks and much more!
Rec Hall
The Rec Hall is a large indoor space that is utilized for many fun and exciting evening programs. It provides the venue for our weekly dances, special events, end of camp award ceremony and slide show.
Dining Hall
The Dining Hall in many ways is the heart and soul of the Camp. It is where the entire camp meets three times a day to enjoy excellent food and fellowship. All of the meals are prepared on site by a professional team in a clean and efficient kitchen. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated for as long as we are given notice prior to the campers arrival.
One of the most incredible features of the camp is our wide sandy beach. The waterfront provides the central focus of our daily activities. Hosting four activities, swimming, sailing, power sports and canoeing/kayaking, there is always something going on at the waterfront. With a wide fleet of canoes, kayaks and sailboats, campers are not limited in their choice of adventure. The swimming area has a sandy bottom with a gradual increase in depth. This enables swimmers of all abilities to feel comfortable and safe. Camp has two ski boats and a wide range of wakeboards, waterskiis and kneeboards. Camp provides all lifejackets and paddles. All campers and staff are required to wear a proper lifejacket or PFD while in any boat or while doing a power sport.
Wood Lot
Camp is fortunate to have an amazing woodlot on site. This are provides an amazing resource for our Nature Program. In addition we utilize the forest for many evening programs and activities.

Water fight: Part two
In the second part of our water analysis, Kipp explores ways to combat water scarcity. With the issue rapidly climbing both social and political agendas, the imperative to act is growing.
July 13, 2010 5:27 by Katherine Azmeh
"Without water security, social, economic and national stability are imperiled," Mikhail Gorbachev wrote in 2000. "This is magnified where water flows across borders – and becomes crucial in regions of religious, territorial or ethnic tension." The former Russian statesman and Nobel laureate stressed the diplomatic imperative presented by the water scarcity crisis.
A diplomatic solution to water resource allocation is certainly the ideal, but for the Mideast region, the numbers reveal that more than this will be required – we'll need technological solutions, too. With 5 percent of the earth's population, the Middle East contains less than 1 percent of the earth's fresh water.
Our oceans contain 97 percent of the earth's water, making desalination techniques worthy of continued research and investment. Although critics contend that desalination is too expensive and energy intensive to be a sustainable solution, recent innovations using nano-technology may significantly decrease its cost– by as much as 75 percent according to estimates from the Arlington Institute, a non-profit research institute that specializes in thinking about global futures.
More efficient water crop irrigation techniques, including carefully controlled drip irrigation systems, for example, also hold the potential to drastically slash water use. The technology is neither expensive, nor sophisticated, which makes it particularly important in developing countries, where a greater percentage of the water supply may be used for crop irrigation than in more developed nations.
Privatization of water management services has also been suggested as a way to increase efficiency, innovation, and maintenance. Particularly in developed nations, a market-oriented approach would be expected to provide the incentives to achieve more efficient management.
Differentiated systems of water purification and use are also gaining attention.
"The water used to wash your car, water your lawn or to do a load of laundry doesn't need to be as pure as the cold glass of water that quenches your thirst on a hot, summer day," according to Asghar Sabbaghi, professor of decision sciences at Indiana University South Bend. "The water used to clean boilers at a food manufacturing plant does not need to be as pure as the water which goes into the food products themselves," he adds.
And don't forget conservation and trade. Examples include reclaiming water for reuse, capturing rainwater, implementing dry sewage systems, and sharing water across borders as a commodity of trade. Reclamation of water is an idea which is gaining support in the Gulf, where Abu Dhabi recently announced plans to introduce quotas on the use of treated sewage water for agriculture, landscaping and cooling purposes. According to Majid al Mansouri, the secretary general of the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi, the UAE government has now identified treated water as a resource in its own right.
Finally, countries can be more intelligent about the water they use. As landscape architect Geoff Sanderson pointed out to the National, "There has also been too much landscaping in a country [the UAE] that can ill-afford the water needed for this. Abu Dhabi does not need all the shrubbery and grass. It is a total waste." The UAE is one of many countries that may soon have to accept certain limitations on lifestyle.
But where there is will (and necessity), there is a way. This adage is particularly apt in the matter of the region's water scarcity. Adequate drinking water is non-negotiable. What is negotiable, experts contend, is the quality of water that is used for the diverse functions, financial investments in technology, and the willingness of citizens to pay for greater efficiency – and most importantly to use less.

Now that I am able to use a keyboard I wanted to share what happened to me as a warning to those who don't ware helmets and to share my accident story that everbody (except me) finds really funny.
Two weeks ago tomorrow I was completing my bike ride when I saw movement in the grass on the edge of the road. Before I go I could react this grey flash came out the weeds before my mind could even register "oh crap a squirrel" I went over the handlebars on the concrete. A truck was approaching with two young men who jumped out to assist me. I was sitting there dazed when they approached and asked me if I was OK? The asked if I had hit a pot hole and as I started to mention a squirrel we all turned to look at my bike and there it was; the squirrel had ran into my spokes then traveled up and was lodged between the fork and the brakes. The one guy just kept saying I never seen anything like this in my life. The gave me a ride back to my truck and then asked if I would like them to remove the squirrel? I called my wife on my cell phone for help and watched as they performed a squirrelectomy on my bike. My only regret in my fuzzy headiness is that I did not take a picture of the squirrel (truly worth more than a thousand words).
My wife took me to the emergency room where the xrays showed a 3rd degree seperation of my collarbone and I also had a concussion. For any of you guys who think they don't need to ware a helmet I can tell you this had I not been wearing one I would have had a serious head injury or worse.
Oh yea one more thing I think over the past two weeks I have heard every version of every squirrel joke known to man kind. The people in the emergency room waiting room even sent home a picture of a squirrel with my wife to give me.

The rule is designed to cut the amount of carbon pollution emitted by power plants. Commission Chairman Gary Hanson says one of the biggest concerns is the cost of improving the carbon footprint of the utility providers around the state.
He says utility companies will be faced with the question of how to balance the costs of compliance and new generation facilities with the rates consumers will pay.
Scott Parsley of East River Electric, says they share the overall concern of many companies from around the state.
Representatives from nine different energy companies spoke at the forum in Sioux Falls on Thursday. They estimated rate increases anywhere from 40 to 70% under the proposed EPA rule.

- An individual pretending to be a PSE&G employee calls a small business customer to schedule a meter replacement, but says the work cannot be completed until the customer's balance is paid off. In some cases, customers are told their meter is broken and must be replaced for a hefty fee.
- Customers are told to purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak at a pharmacy or convenience store, use cash to put money onto the card, and then provide the number on the card to the person who called them.
- Customers are advised that if they do not immediately call back and provide the MoneyPak information, the meter replacement will not be scheduled and their service will be turned off that day.
- When customers provide the MoneyPak number, they are told that someone will be out to change their meter later that day. Meanwhile, the scammer transfers the funds to a prepaid card and cashes it in at an ATM.
- In many cases, customers who fall victim to the scam do not realize they have been defrauded until no one turns up to replace the meter.
PSE&G Warns Customers About Payment Scam
NEWARK, N.J., April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PSE&G is urging its customers to be alert to a scam that is increasingly targeting small businesses. In the scam, which has been reported across the country, individuals misrepresenting themselves as PSE&G employees threaten to turn off electric and gas service if payment is not made to them that day. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120830/MM62627LOGO)The scam involves payments using Green Dot MoneyPaks. As noted on the MoneyPak packaging and on the company's Web site ( www.moneypak.com), to protect themselves from fraud, consumers should treat the MoneyPak like cash and only use the MoneyPak number with businesses on their approved partner list. PSE&G has alerted its customers to similar scams in the past. In recent weeks, however, a new tactic has emerged that is targeting small businesses. Here is how the scam works:

Reviews by Bruskorken
Smooth although a bit clunky at times.Bruskorken | May 28, 2013 | Review of FEAR (1) - PC
Story: F.E.A.R (stand for First Encounter Assault Recon) is a US special forces team, you are a "Point Man" with superhuman reflexes that is supposed to investigate this "girl. The story is simple but it works. Since it's a horror it really tries to nail the gameplay and atmosphere. Gameplay: Smart A.I (That's a welcoming feature) that set the game up at a decent challange. If you turn up or down the difficulties it also makes the A.I dumber or smarter depending on the difficulty. It's very smooth and the controls works well. The scares was and is the setpiece of this game, and it makes you feel on the egde. The main mechanic is the Slow-Motions that they executed really well which now is done by many other games. Graphics: Albeit a bit dated still holds good. The levels have decent varity and it's well put together. The weapons looks and sounds good. Conclution: Fatastic FPS, it's campaign is liniar but for good reason and game design. Still hold up for today. I recommed playing the first one well... first.

In advance of the upcoming SES Chicago 2010 conference, I had the opportunity to ask aimClear President Marty Weintraub some questions about taking advantage of YouTube. His company provides traditional and social pay-per-click (PPC) management, natural search-engine optimization (SEO), reputation monitoring/management and social media/feed marketing (SMO) services to national clients.

By now, we've all heard about how location-based networks are taking off. Foursquare, Gowalla, SCVNGR and now, of course, Facebook are all part of a new landscape filled with marketing opportunities. Part of what makes these services fun and attractive to consumers are the game mechanics. While I'm personally convinced that there is a "Rob cannot be a mayor" provision in Foursquare's code, many of my friends and colleagues enjoy the benefit of being a mayor of a restaurant, venue or store.[…] Continue Reading »

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/25/12 -- IMPACT Silver Corp. ("IMPACT" or "The Company") (TSX VENTURE: IPT) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the open pit Capire mine at the Capire Production Center. The Capire Production Center will initially host a 200 tonne-per-day (tpd) pilot plant, with plans to expand the operation up to 1,500 tpd in the future.
The Capire Project is located within the 200-square-kilometerMamatla district and is 16 kilometers southwest of IMPACT's active mining operations at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan, Mexico. The current development and subsequent commencement of production at Capire this winter represents the next significant phase of growth for the Company. The mineralization at Capire consists of volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") targets, and the ongoing, aggressive drill program will continue with the objective to further expand and define the deposit and its surrounding zones to determine the potential size of the larger processing plant operation. The planned open-pit trends in an east-west direction and the drill results in the following table highlight additional drilling which extended the deposit to the north and south.
CAPIRE DRILL RESULTS DRILL HOLE FROM TO INTERVAL Ag Au Pb Zn Cu (m) (m) (m) (g/t) (g/t) (%) (%) (%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12-06 78.25 80.30 2.05 507 1.81 2.20 4.02 0.41 including 79.30 80.30 1.00 929 3.27 2.77 5.27 0.63 and 105.70 110.80 5.10 183 0.20 1.05 2.45 0.13 including 109.80 110.80 1.00 322 0.35 0.44 1.31 0.07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12-07 39.65 41.15 1.50 238 0.63 0.54 1.12 0.12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12-08 44.70 45.75 1.05 247 1.63 0.18 0.35 0.11 including 79.30 80.80 1.50 302 0.32 1.20 2.40 0.26 C12-10 62.74 63.34 0.60 218 0.31 1.12 2.64 0.20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12-21 83.35 100.10 16.75 153 0.40 1.14 2.71 0.21 including 92.40 97.00 4.60 435 0.71 3.13 5.99 0.48 including 95.00 96.00 1.00 1,390 1.39 1.49 2.82 0.63 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- C12-25 13.20 23.35 10.15 107 0.58 0.90 2.43 0.10 including 13.20 18.30 5.10 150 0.79 1.29 3.54 0.12 including 13.20 15.25 2.05 315 0.91 2.93 8.19 0.25 C12-31 43.70 44.70 1.00 142 1.41 0.14 0.25 0.05 C12-35 123.00 125.05 2.05 219 0.76 1.09 2.89 0.20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drill holes listed in the table above were drilled vertically and all intersections are estimated to be close to true width. These holes expanded to the extent of the Capire mineralization in the north and south direction, while the zone remains open for further expansion to the east.
IMPACT Silver President and CEO, Fred Davidson, comments, "The Capire zone is unlike most of the vein mineralization found throughout the district. We are looking for polymetallic VMS prospects, and will initially be running mineralized material through the 200 tpd pilot plant to accurately determine what we are working with. Often benchscale tests are run on 500 tonnes of ore, providing a level of accuracy of about 70%. Our plan is to run a benchscale test with 60,000 tonnes of ore, to achieve a level of accuracy of about 95%." IMPACT engineers are now studying the possibility of expanding the open pit plan to incorporate some of these additional drill results.
The current combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate at the Capire Deposit totals 7.2 million oz. silver, 30,446 oz. gold, 95.6 million lbs. zinc and 37.2 million lbs. lead (see IMPACT Silver news release dated February 1, 2011 for details).
Wojtek Jakubowski, P. Geo., a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical content of this news release.
IMPACT Silver Corp. is a silver-focused mining and exploration company operating in Mexico. With 100% ownership of the producing operations in the 423-square-kilometer Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District and the 200-square-kilometer Mamatla Silver District which includes Capire, IMPACT is well positioned to grow into a multimillion ounce silver producer. IMPACT also has a 16.5% shareholder position in Defiance Silver Corp., a silver exploration company that is advancing IMPACT's 200-tpd mill and mineral concessions toward production in the Zacatecas Silver District. Additional information including photos of construction activity at Capire can be found on the Company website at www.IMPACTSilver.com.

With the recent advent of the new UNC Advisory Committee on Strategic Directions, there's been a lot of controversy about the group's inclusion of two right-wing millionaire businessmen: chain store magnate Art Pope of Raleigh and pharmaceuticals industry mogul, Fred Eshelman of Wilmington. Chris Fitzsimon has been reporting and commenting on this story frequently.
Interestingly, some observers — especially in the Wilmington area — have expressed the opinion that while they support the criticisms of Pope, they disagree with attacks on Eshelman. In this narrative, Eshelman is conservative, but a good guy and BIG supporter of UNC who's getting a bum rap by being grouped with Pope. Eshelman, himself, has complained that his politics are not relevant to his involvement in the new committee.
A new story posted today by WRAL's Mark Binker helps make clear, however, why that argument doesn't wash. Read more
