"God Provides the Answer and We Listen to Ourselves"
#AceNewsServices says l have just heard on the local news about how the UK economy has improved and is growing faster than any other country. Well we should all be so grateful and be patting this government on the back for a good job, of course let us look deeper and we see that this transparency, is a dark glass hiding the real truth.
The reason is, oh yes we have growth of 0.8% and a rise in-house prices of 24% in certain areas of the country, mainly in the South of England of course. So far so good …………………………………………….
So why am l such an pessimist? Well everything that has been achieved in this country for the last 30 years, has had a price and the price in this case is borrowing, lending and debt.
George Osborne says we need austerity, and cuts of £25 billion are required, but the real cost is the#UK Debt stands as at today's date, at over £900 billion and counting. According to "UK National Debt's" latest figures and as l write, this is £1.254.936.279 and some change. Check it out yourself when you read this post, and see how much it has grown, just click #UKDebt
- So how is this government funding our lifestyles as citizens? Well according to the ONS ………………..
The UK national debt is the total amount of money the British government owes to the private sector and other purchasers of UK gilts.
- Public sector net debt was £1,211.8 billion at the end of September 2013, equivalent to 75.9% of GDP
- Source: ONS [1. ONS public sector finances ] [This figure excludes temporary effects of financial interventions (PSND ex) (page updated October 23rd 2013)
So as you can see the rise is dramatic in 2012-13 to say the least, but in 2008-2009 it was nearly half. Now you would think people would have learned that a "Financial Crisis" in 2008, and how much everyone lost. This should teach us that borrowing too much does not work, but we are so easily tempted into buying what the devil wants, not what we need.
Now the BBC reports today that figure from the SMMT that New Car Sales were up in 2013 in the UK car sales in 2013 recorded their best year since 2007, industry figures have shown, helped by cheap credit deals and stronger consumer confidence.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that 2.26 million vehicles were registered in 2013.
That was a 10.8% rise on 2012, although the figure is 6% lower than 2007's 2.4 million figure.
The 2013 total was boosted by a 23.76% rise in sales in December, marking the 22nd successive month of increases.
Industry analysts say that attractive financing deals have tempted buyers, with three-quarters of sales to private buyers now involving a financing package.
So once again we are back into that borrowing circle, as this government literally con's us into believing what they tells us, and just like sheep, we follow them into the darkness to be shorn.
Finally as l said earlier and it may stagger some, due to the staggering amount of "Payment Protection Insurance and the Compensation" people are using their money as either deposits or part-payments to purchase new cars. Thus putting the monies stolen from them, back into the same pockets {or similar} that has just paid out the compensation!
Does this not sound ludicrous, to anyone or is it just me?
I rest my case but mark my words, mark them well 2008 crisis was a walk in the park compared to what will happen in the future, no government, country or nation can borrow money on debts, and then charge interest just to keep "British Banks" in business.
You have been warned – more updates soon ……………………………………………………………………………………………….

#AceNewsGroup Wishes All Our Readers A Happy New Year And A Prosperous 2014#Peace
#AceNewsGroup wishes all its readers a " Happy New Year and a Prosperous 2014″ and may your life be filled with goodness and mercy.
Reflections on a New Year that has not yet arrived, and one that began for me by "Caring" and ended with "Sharing" as l spoke to more people about their lives.
As l grew into a person with greater compassion and humility, than l ever believed possible, by understanding forgiveness, that comes from experiences, never from judgement.
That allowing myself to release feelings, sometimes good and sometimes bad, allows want to turn to need, and need to turn to forgiveness.
So let 2014 be a year of "Peace and Love and let us all "Care and Share" and let "Charity" be from the "Heart" not our Pocket.

Tropical Storm Keith 1988 Came in Like a Lion and Left Like a Lamb with No Fatalities Reported – Travel Forward to Now and it is a Different Story
#AceWeatherNews says in 1988 according to the records a tropical storm named Keith arrived like a lion with winds reaching 70 miles per hour, then dissipated and left like a lamb. The resultant casualties were a few trees and power lines and damage to was fairly minor ,it cost overall for all subsequent repairs $7.3 million. The best thing was "No Fatalities Were Reported" and l thank God !
In the years preceding this until the last one only a month ago ,winds have reached upward of 200 miles per hour ,casualties are numbered in hundreds and sometimes even in thousands and the damage is measured not as slight, severe or even catastrophic ,but devastating! The fact is our weather is getting worst, we would like to say "Global Warming" is or is not to blame, or even "Climate Change" is not really causing it, or we are told this occurred years ago by certain scientists.
Though al we know is that by the time we have finished clearing up after "Super Typhoon Haiyan" , it will not matter what caused it, but how many families will have lost their loved ones ,leaving them homeless, starving and in desperate need. These are the things that really matter, not what we call the storm or its ferocity ,but how many people suffer.
All l can say is God willing one day we can return to the days of " Tropical Storms" like Keith and eventually to a slight blow over the Atlantic, or Pacific.
Extract Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Tropical Storm Keith, the eleventh tropical storm of the 1988 season, was the latest North Atlantic tropical cyclone in the calendar year to strike the Continental United States since the 1925 season. Keith developed out of a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea on November 17 and reached a peak intensity of 70 mph (110 km/h) shortly before striking the northeastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula. It turned northeastward in the Gulf of Mexico, and made landfall near Sarasota, Florida, on November 23. Keith became extratropical near Bermuda on November 24. The extra tropical remnant persisted for two more days.
Keith produced moderate to heavy rainfall in Honduras, Jamaica, and Cuba. Minimal damage was reported in Mexico. The last of four named North Atlantic hurricanes to hit the United States during the season, Keith produced moderate rainfall, rough storm surge, and gusty winds across central Florida. Overall damage was fairly minor but widespread, totaling $7.3 million. Near the coast of Florida, damage occurred mainly from storm surge and beach erosion. Further inland there were floods, downed trees and power lines.
No fatalities were reported.

The State of Mind Control in the World
When l first saw this video l was amazed and astounded by how little l really knew about mind control, and how using such simple techniques of making us believe that what these people and organisations are doing, is simply for our own good!
The video l have included is both graphic and can make people come to some awesome conclusions, but without being shown, people would just be totally unaware of what is really happening.
My intention is to start with this video supplied by INFOWARS and then add further items that l have gathered over time to support,, a number of the re-iterations and comments made by the people in the video, having now complete some research on the subject.
This first post simply titled The State of Mind Control in the World is just to begin to highlight ,how easy it is for us all, including me for quite sometime to be blind-sided to the real truth ,but when God was ready l was shown my world and its people, not in glory, but in the pursuit of power, money and the ability, be it perceived to try playing at being God.
It reminds me of the fall of Adam and Eve and the word spoken by God to Adam his creation, you can eat of all the trees in the Garden, but do not eat of the one in the midst of the Garden, as upon that day you will surely die! The problem was as always he listened not to God, but the one that was from his rib, called Eve ,who listened to the snake! A simply case of "Chinese Whispers" you might say, but in fact the most significant part was never spoken, that of what was not said by God! This was simply – "How could Adam or Eve know where the midst of the Garden was when their eyes were closed to the truth" of course they could not, so someone namely the snake had told them ,thus when God came back from walking, he knew what had taken place, just by the answer to his question.
Would it not be great to be like God you may say, the problem is that Mankind does not know the answer to what will happen next, in the next second so to speak ,all they can do is guess! Well my reason for telling you this short story is to elicit any preconceived notions that this type of control is the end, it is not – it is simply "The Beginning of the End" l suppose l could have called my post simply that, but l needed everyone reading this post now and in the future to be fully aware ,these people will be stopped not by us, but eventually by God!
This plan of his rolled out since the death of Jesus Christ started over 2000 years ago – in fact to be precise 2,013 or 2013 if you prefer, it will only end when God is ready and not one second before ,when the second coming has just happened!
So fear not as you watch the video and please add your comments ,share with people making them aware of any concerns you may have, or refer them back to my post and let them ask questions!
God Bless you All Keep the Faith whatever your Beliefs

The Cost of Peace Keeping in this World when Brother Fights Brother
The United Nations owes $80 million to India, the most it has to pay any country for costs relating to peacekeeping operations, a top official said. Apart from India, among the largest troop contributing countries to UN peacekeeping missions, the other top countries which are owed outstanding payments for such operations are Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Rwanda and Nigeria.
"Among those countries waiting for our payment, on top of the list is India. We owe India 80 million dollars" for contributing troops, formed police units and related costs, Under-Secretary-General for Management Yukio Takasu told reporters on Wednesday. India is followed by Ethiopia, to which the UN owes $54 million, Bangladesh ($50 million), Pakistan ($49 million), Rwanda ($37 million) and Nigeria ($35 million). On the other hand, the United States owes $795 million to the UN for the regular budget, and $651 million for peacekeeping operations assessment.
It seems that keeping the peace in this world is becoming as expensive as the war chests, so many countries have filled up just lately, as conflicts in other parts of the world are building up!
This reminds me so much of a statement made by Jesus to his followers, where he is said to say – look for wars in other countries and the rumour of such wars ,this will not be the time of my coming!
He went onto to say that brother will fight brother, is this not so as Israel fights Palestine and Muslims born of the House of Islam fight among themselves, just to say l am right and you are wrong!
If the West is so right then how come as one War is settled such as Egypt another started in Libya followed closely by Syrian conflict, the truth is these wars have gone on for many years, these are a war of words, that eventually lead to arms. Though the real truth is never easily seen as the political machinations and intrigue of political figures hiding in the dark ,making and receiving phone-calls from counterparts go on daily, working out how to balance the budget! Of course the odd War will help to fill the coffers!
Meanwhile children die of poor sanitation, mothers are unable to feed their malnourished and orphaned offspring ,as their so-called leaders vie to become top-dog!
The outcome of course is the UN Peace Keeping Forces of the world are sent into these War torn countries to sort out the mess, created by man being right!
So maybe l should have called this post, the "UN Owes India $80-Million or the Us owes the UN $795-Million to Provide Peace for being Wrong " not Right! The truth about being so-called "Right" is that innocents suffer and families wake up every morning, hearing the sound of guns, be it peace keepers or other military factions!
So being "Right or Wrong" really is not the question, when "Brother fights Brother", it really is the beginning of the end as the only real mainstay in any of these countries for generations, has been family! Now this will no longer exist as each one battles out their in differences about who is "Right and who is Wrong"!
When Jesus spoke these words about "Brother fighting Brother" little did he personally know what the real truth would be in practice, as he was just born to speak the "Word of God" that one day in the future, and now coming to pass, would have such a dramatic affect on people's every day lives!
My personal view is that nobody of any colour, creed, religion or country is either right or wrong ,as being right causes wars, and being wrong causes wars! We are all equal in the eyes of God, and it is time for us all to become equal in our own way of looking at these events! The question simply is to say to ourselves if these so-called leaders are so right ,why are their wars, why do people starve, why do people have pestilence and why so much death!
If we cannot answer because by saying l am wrong and l believe in sharing all that l have and in helping people everyday of my life, then we are doing something wrong! As only by this method of being humble in the sight of God can we ever be able to do anything "Right" and bring health ,happiness and harmony to people's lives #peace

"Great Hiking and Scenery" Ricketts Glen State Park by PA2AKgirl
Ricketts Glen State Park Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 122 photos
Ricketts Glen is located in what is known as the "Endless Mountain Region" of Pennsylvania. (Northcentral to Northeastern PA.)
I think it's the most beautiful part of the state and I love going up to Ricketts Glen for some hiking.
The park is close to other state parks as well (ie: Worlds End...which is fantastic) so if you're planning on visiting Pennsylvania, take a couple days and head up there...
This park was approved to be a national park but that ended during WWII. It's named after Colonel Ricketts who was involved in the Civil War, namely at the Battle of Gettysburg. He owned a good portion of the land and it was eventually sold to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It's now preserved not only as a state park but also a national natural area in the glen area of the park.
Kitchen creek is made up of 2 branches that carved the gorges of of Ganoga Glen and Glen Leigh. At a place appropriately called "Waters Meet" these 2 branches come together and then flow through Ricketts Glen. There are wonderful rock formations and a few types of waterfalls, including "bridal veil" (flows straight down as in the 1st picture) and "wedding cake" (in tiers...like my last picture)
- Pros:Amazing waterfalls, convenient, great recreational site
- Cons:can be a bit dangerous on the Falls Trail

Also if you are going to attempt winter hiking be careful of sink holes in the snow. Some places you may be knee deep and all of a sudden you are waste deep because of boulders under the snow.
These cabins were clean, inexpensive, and convienent for a family. We had a wonderful time here. The waterfall trail hike is worth your time. You should be in good shape.
Gorgeous photos. What beautiful scenery!
This place looks fantastic, thanks for the tips!
I had to pay another visit ti your Ricketts Glen pages. It looks like a beautidul place.

Deputy hurt in crashBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 28,2013A Rutland County Sheriffs deputy was hurt in a crash in Killington on Sunday.
Vermont State Police said Deputy Jayson Flood, 33, was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for unknown back, neck, and head injuries after his cruiser, a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, was involved in a collision with a 2002 Jeep Wrangler.
A hospital spokeswoman said Floods condition was fair Sunday evening.
Police said Flood was driving east on Route 4 near Pico ski area at around 2:45 p.m. and the Jeep, driven by Andrew J. Palmer, 37, of Rutland, was behind him.
Flood activated his emergency lights and veered right in preparation to make a U-turn, according to police, but Palmer tried to drive around him rather than obey and utilize caution when emergency vehicle lights were activated.
The cruiser sustained severe damage to the drivers side, according to police, while the Jeep sustained dents and scrapes to its passenger side.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash. They did not indicate why Flood was making the U-turn. A dispatcher for the Rutland County Sheriffs Department said they could not comment on the crash as it was still under investigation by state police.
The Vermont State Police were assisted by members of the Rutland County Sheriffs Department, Rutland City Police Department, Regional Ambulance Service, and the Killington Ski Resort.

Skip to comments.Google Cars Drive Themselves, in Traffic
Posted on 10/10/2010 4:36:17 PM PDT by lbryce
Anyone driving the twists of Highway 1 between San Francisco and Los Angeles recently may have glimpsed a Toyota Prius with a curious funnel-like cylinder on the roof. Harder to notice was that the person at the wheel was not actually driving.
The car is a project of Google, which has been working in secret but in plain view on vehicles that can drive themselves, using artificial-intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and mimic the decisions made by a human driver.
With someone behind the wheel to take control if something goes awry and a technician in the passenger seat to monitor the navigation system, seven test cars have driven 1,000 miles without human intervention and more than 140,000 miles with only occasional human control. One even drove itself down Lombard Street in San Francisco, one of the steepest and curviest streets in the nation. The only accident, engineers said, was when one Google car was rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light.
Autonomous cars are years from mass production, but technologists who have long dreamed of them believe that they can transform society as profoundly as the Internet has.
Robot drivers react faster than humans, have 360-degree perception and do not get distracted, sleepy or intoxicated, the engineers argue. They speak in terms of lives saved and injuries avoided more than 37,000 people died in car accidents in the United States in 2008. The engineers say the technology could double the capacity of roads by allowing cars to drive more safely while closer together. Because the robot cars would eventually be less likely to crash, they could be built lighter, reducing fuel consumption.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
If the same criteria were applied as with air crashes, and as stringently, "accidents" would break down to a combination of negligence and pilot error, with mechanical failure far behind. Just saying.
It might not be a good idea to be texting while surfing the web on the laptop while changing clothes and doing makeup during breakfast while fiddling with the gizmos in the car while allegedly driving with a fresh hangover...
How much would it cost to keep the other car from getting the parking place? If cars are driven by computer then some cars will become more equal than other.
A funnel-like cylinder would look like... a dunce cap?
I think it's brilliant. I've long called for us to "Automate Driving" on this board.
Imagine a world where the elderly and the young no longer have to be chauffeured. Where there are few or no autobody shops, few traffic cops, few traffic courts, no speeding tickets, no ambulance chasing lawyers, car insurance would be cheap.
The amount of waste in the economy from wrecked cars and injured automobile occupants would be eliminated.
It's one of the best things we could do, and it should be well within our reach.
Sort of like Obama in the 1/2 white house.
I'm sure the car of the future will have a MS Windows OS that will crash at the wrong time. Explain that one to your insurance agent.
These guys were going way beyond proof of concept right into making automobiles operate a new way.
You could send your car all by itself to the dealer for a check up and any warranty work.
I hope these don't spend too long in the overpriced novelty stage. Being epileptic, a car like this could really change my life for the better...
I want to know what the car will do to me when I flip it off in traffic.
Man! I wish my '60 Chevy Impala would have had that! Imagine being driven around while you neck in the back seat. I was born too early!
How did it become legal for these guys to NOT be in control of their automobiles?
I bet it is illegal to do that. Not that anyone will care unless they wreck and kill a bunch of people.
70 MPH and you get to inspect the blue screen of death.
Any shot at a manual ejection seat?
I'm skeptical. If only because I wonder about who would control the computer controlling your car.
Imagine: certain destinations need to be approved by your local DMV. Oh, you've reached your federally-mandated Fast Food Quota for the month, no McDonald's for you...
That, and you'd have an easily accessible log detailing everywhere you travel.
Imagine a world where your car's autopilot runs under Windows.
Now imagine a world where a bunch of hackers (or terrorists) take control of a whole bunch of cars at the same time...
Think of it like cruise control. The computer is controlling the vehicle, but there is a driver behind the wheel ready to override if he doesn't like what the computer is doing.
Kubuntu Kars?
A car with no driver would be a car that would be really easy to steal.
Then it will spread down to luxury vehicles, and kits for handicapped and seniors and so on. Yes there will be errors and problems, but I expect that they will be rare from the outset - much lower than the risks of having human drivers. (I work as a quality engineer in automotive safety electronics.) This stuff is being developed over a long period, step by step, so there is time to refine the testing techniques and recognize the odd scenarios that could stump or fool the software.
I would strongly agree that two things be kept inviolate: that drivers be able to take control of the vehicle, and that the autonomous controls be strictly tied to driver input/control (not subject to remote manipulation or command).
True, and delivery vehicles could become extremely lightweight, designed to carry only the cargo and no passengers.
Teamsters are gonna love it - all bennies, no work.
Even people that can drive, could spend the commute time doing other things. For example putting on their makeup or eating breakfast, or texting....oh...well, you could do those things without being hazard. You could also read, work, etc.
I don't think anyone is suggesting letting microsoft design car operating systems.
My '96 Chevy has a computer that controls the engine and the cruise control. Almost all modern day cars do. In the event of a computer failure, the car goes into "limp mode", the individual components, fail safe to preset values that are still driveable but far from optimal.
There will be computer failures and some redundancy will have to be built into the cars. But relative to humans, the computers don't tire, don't get distracted (non-microsoft OS), and can do more things at once than a human.
There is that downside. It would have been awesome when we were young. But as a parent, I'd be looking for that vehicle chaperone program.
Generally agreed, but they should be options.
I can think of exceptions to this. A car owned by a DWI offender or other unsafe driver shouldn't allow the driver to take control.
Conversely, couriers, taxis, business vehicles, parents, guardians, may want remote control. It just needs to be secure enough to keep terrorists at bay. I think there are situations you should be able to alter the route, remotely, but you shouldn't be able to alter the programming remotely.
Once the technology is in place. How do you keep a terrorist from programming cars to attack? All he has to do is gain physical possession of the car and be able to make alterations. Some thought needs to be given to that.
Do we want to allow car owners to hack their own vehicle's software? Allowing it could make for vast improvements, as every car owner, could become a source of technical development. But without controlled testing, they could introduce errors that would be unsafe.
I repeat-
How did it become legal for these guys to NOT be in control of their automobiles?

Turn Data into Selling Points: Reciting Statistics Won't Work in This Market. Data Must Be Three Dimensional, Personal, Perceived as Pertinent by Your Clients before They Will Buy. (Ad Sales)
Berman, Helen, Folio: the Magazine for Magazine Management
For years, I never really understood what an acre was. You could tell me an acre is 43,560 square feet, or that it equals 1/640th of a square mile. But then if you told me your house sat on a 10-acre lot, I still wouldn't know whether to envy or pity you.
Finally, though, someone told me an acre was the same size as a football field, minus the end zones. Bingo. I got it. Now I know if I had a 10-acre lot, I'd have room for that tennis court I've always wanted.
Data, in other words, isn't the same as information. You can tell your prospects any piece of data you want: that your readership is 300,000, that average household income is $75,000, that your CPM is $12. But unless you put that data in context, you'll never turn it into information that your client can understand and act on.
In his book Information Anxiety, Richard Saul Wurman states: "Understanding is the bridge between data and knowledge." As salespeople, it's our job to create that bridge for our clients. But before we start throwing data at our clients, we have to ask ourselves two things: 1. What do we need to tell our clients to persuade them to invest in our publication? 2. What data can be turned into persuasive information?
Creating this "bridge," then, is really about positioning. We have to examine what perceptions our clients may already have about our publication. Then we must decide whether to build on those perceptions, or help our clients change them.
Because no two clients perceive your magazine exactly the same way, no two presentations should use the same "bridge" between your data and information. In my seminars, I refer to this as "kaleidoscope selling." In the same way kaleidoscopes create different patterns with the same pieces of cut glass, salespeople can use the same raw data to create different and compelling sales presentations. With our reader surveys, CPMs, pink sheets and editorial, we can create particular patterns that will excite our individual clients.
To use data to sell, take the following five steps:
1 Select the pertinent from the superfluous
When you are dealing with a "big thinker" client, someone who wants to hear what's new and different about your magazine, you don't need to drag out every renewal statistic from your media kit. Instead, home in on the data that works for her. You can talk about landing a guest columnist from the Washington Post, or how your magazine is the leader among the top-grossing poultry farmers.
Each client will be turned on by different pieces of data. Use your pre-call fact-finding to learn what excites your latest prospect, and keep the rest of your data in reserve.
2 Turn data into information
Remember, information is that which leads to understanding. Looking at the "acre" example again, I like visuals and sports, so comparing an acre to a football field works for me. But it might not work for your warehouse executive trying to plan the size of a new building. In that case, I might describe an acre as big enough to hold 5,000 pallets, or small enough to enable a forklift to travel from loading dock to back wall within 30 seconds.
Any fact can be turned into information. Say 22 percent of your readers have household incomes of $100,000 or more; nationwide, only 6 percent of households have that income level. You could tell your client:
* Our readers are nearly three times as likely to have $100,000 incomes.
* Our readers are 252 percent more likely to have $100,000 incomes.
* Of every 1,000 reader households, you'll find 220 with incomes of $100,000. …

What people say about WildFiona
When I crave great free prono I know that a visit to XXXLiveCam is a great way to find a beautiful babe with a great body masturbating. I prefer women with brown hair and big tits and if they're willing to fuck big toys deep into slippery cunts then I'll stick around.
It seems that only on xxx teen tube I can find a really great teen porn that I love so much. I always hurry home after work to these young and sexy bodies. I get a real pleasure, just watching these teens having hot sex.
Teen porn site 18porno includes breathtaking girls just like the ones you'll see at XXX Live Cam as they do their dirty deeds live for the audience. That means stripteases, dirty dancing, and hot masturbation with fingers and toys that fuck their pretty holes until they cum.
This incredible teen porn tube is full of amazing webcam shows starring the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Every time I visit there are new chicks and they're always breathtakingly sexy with great bodies. The only difficult thing is picking the girl to watch.
As I am reading live sex industry news quite frequently, I am always looking for some nice-looking MILF sex sessions that would impress me, and then one day I found Wild Fiona. This brunette hottie has the best boobs, the longest legs, the tightest ass and the dirtiest thoughts, which she shares with me when we bring it on. That's why I spend so much time with her.
We had great sex chat with Wild Fiona about three months ago for the first time and now I relax with the brunette beauty about two times per week. She gave me a lot of jerk off instructions and we did a lot of other naughty things together. It is much more impressive than watching homemade xxx video even in high quality.
If you want to ask me which of xxx live cams impressed me the most then I would answer without doubts that it was chat with Wild Fiona. This slender brunette camgirl with pretty face and nice body got what to demonstrate and she is fond of exposing her most attractive parts on webcam.

Unfortunately, we live in a society where we need to be on the constant lookout for people who want to steal from us. You may have been previously robbed at either your home or business and are looking to catch the person in the act again. You can use several methods to catch a thief.
Set up a home monitoring system. A home monitoring system involves the use of imaging technology to record areas of your home or business that you wish to keep secure.
Put in flood lights. Flood lights can be used to catch a thief trying to break in or at the very least to scare them off.
Install a security system within your home or business. Security systems can alert the authorities to potential break-ins on your property. Slomin's Shield and ADT are trusted names in security.
Use the webcam on your computer to catch a thief. You can set up your webcam to double as a security camera. Read the operating instructions that came with the webcam to find out how to store images.
Get a guard dog. A dog can protect your home and attack when thieves break into the premises. The dog may need to go through a training program in order to understand how to safely protect your home.
Tips & Warnings
- If money comes up missing at your business, you can try to arrange a situation which allows you to catch the thief in the act.
- You should never try to catch a thief by using physical force or running after them. Contact local authorities to handle the matter.

6 Things You Probably Didn't Know About The BC SPCAWednesday, February 25th, 2015
At Accent Inns we love animals, we welcome them into our hotels and proudly support the BC SPCA – so much so that every time a pet stays at one of our hotels and we collect the pet fee and we give the organization $1 on their behalf. Approximately 4,000 animals stay at an Accent Inns hotel every year, so this means a welcome contribution wends its way to BC SPCA. We also regularly partner with, and promote, special campaigns in support of this amazing organization. (more…)

Dog-Days …and Nights (Travelling with your dog)Saturday, November 29th, 2014
I have an Australian Shepherd called Finnegan – Finn for short – he's a great dog; friendly, well-behaved and adores everyone. I rarely take him with me on out-of-town trips though because finding a hotel that takes dogs is tough, if they say they accept pets, it usually just means they 'tolerate' them. I thought finding a hotel that actively welcomed them would be well-nigh impossible. That is until I checked out Accent Inns – these guys seriously love dogs, as their advertising says they really do speak Pekinese; although Finn is not fluent in Pekinese he certainly understands the sentiment and approves by vigorously wagging his little nub of a tail (Australian Shepherds don't have full tails).

Why Be a Dog Friendly Hotel?Tuesday, January 28th, 2014
So many folks tell us how thrilled they are that Accent Inns is a dog friendly hotel, but on occasion I get asked by some, "why would you welcome dogs in your hotels?" I can understand if someone isn't a pet owner they might not understand. It's simple really, our pets (dogs, cats, etc…) are living breathy mammals just like you and I and being so, it's instinctual (in my opinion) for us to form tight bonds, love our pets. (more…)

BC SPCA takes cruelty to animals very seriouslyMonday, November 29th, 2010

The BC SPCA is the only animal welfare organization in B.C. with the authority to enforce laws relating to animal cruelty and they responded to nearly 6,000 complaints of animal cruelty and abuse last year. Their investigations resulted in the rescue of 3,443 injured animals and the removal of 1,332 more animals from dangerous or neglectful situations. April was one of these animals. (more…)

My cat has had an URI for a few months now. She has been on
Customer Question
My cat has had an URI for a few months now. She has been on antibiotics for 2 months(the pink liquid and the white liquid that goes in the fridge) her runny eyes and nose cleared up for a while but she still had congestion in her nose which made it difficult to breath. Her breathing difficulties have been consistent throughout the months. It's also very loud. Her runny eyes and nose are back and her breathing is still the same. I have also been giving her nose drops and lysine chews. She is eating and drinking but I feel like her eating has decreased because she doesn't want treats like she usually does but I do see her eating he regular food(she hasn't lost weight). We have a 2nd cat who is fine and hasn't gotten sick. I have been to the vet 3 times. Just not sure what else to do. The vet says the her lungs and heart sound fine. She does have bad teeth but they don't seem loose or bothering her since she eats dry food. I can't afford to keep going to the vet but I feel terrible listening to her have trouble breathing. What else should I do? Sex: Female Age : 9 Type of Cat: Calico

Hello JACustomer,
I am sorry to hear about Brookie. Thank you for using Just Answer to ask about her.
My name isXXXXX am a veterinarian, and will do my best to help.
Is the discharge out of both nostrils equally? Do you ever see blood in the discharge?
One thing fairly common in cats is a benign inflammatory polyp in the nose. These can be hard to see ( since a cat nose is too small to look up inside). Sometime you can see them sticking out behind the soft palate, in the back of the throat. Usually you have to sedate a cat to get a good enough look. Imaging (Xrays, CT, MRI) can be helpful.
Another test I do in these cats that just keep snuffling is test on the discharge, called a PCR panel. It tests for several infections, and may tell you what you are fighting and how best to treat.
If a course of the antibiotic doxycycline has not been tried, I would. One of the most common nose infections is cats is an organism called Mycoplasma, and the pink and white liquids do not work against it, but doxycycline would.
Please let me know if I can answer or help with anything else./

Hello, Jana,
How is Brookie doing?
Ask Your Own Cat Question
replied 3 years ago.
Hi Rebecca,
I called my vet and told her about your suggestion and she had no problem putting her on different meds so Brookie is now on doxycycline. She's been on it for 4 days now. I do feel like I'm seeing her improve a little. Ive seen her eating more and her nose isn't running as much(both nostrils were had discharge coming out but one nostril was a lot worse than the other). It still sounds difficult to breath. She does have moments of relief when she calms down and is sleeping. Her breathing doesn't sound as bed then. But I do notice her breathing out of her mouth a lot.
replied 3 years ago.
Hello Jana,
I am glad to hear Brooke is doing somewhat better.
Open mouth breathing in cats always worries me, however. If she continues to do that, or if it gets worse, you might get a chest Xray to be sure she does not have asthma. Usually with asthma the lungs sound congested or raspy and you did say your vet said her lungs sounded clear, but if she has open mouth breathing for any extended or frequent periods, I would consider a chest Xray
Hope she continues to improve. Thank you for the update. Rebecca

My vet seems to think she needs to get her teeth worked on. I know that can be expensive which I don't have the money for and I want to make sure that the vet is right and. I guess I just want to make sure that it absolutely is her teeth and she will be better after getting them done. I dont want to do anything unnecessary. In your opinion do you think it could be her teeth from what Ive described? She still eats hard food without an problems it seems like.
replied 3 years ago.
If she has a lot of tartar, and gingivitis, that is a health concern. Bacteria from the mouth and the tartar can pass through inflamed gums (not healthy gums) and get into the blood stream, and cause internal illnesses such as chronic kidney disease, heart disease, etc.
It is also possible that she could have a sinus infection from an infected tooth, since the roots of the teeth extend to the sinuses. So it is possible there is a connection.
No doubt that cleaning her teeth will be good for her health, but it may or may not clear up this problem with her breathing. It certainly would not be money wasted to have her teeth cleaned, but I would not guarantee that this chronic breathing problem would get better after a dental cleaning. The two problems may be unrelated.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on!
I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.

Bold marketers know this: an economic downturn is the perfect time to gain market share. Spending marketing money during tough times seems counterintuitive, but time and again it has paid off for some of the best known brands. During the 1970s Revlon and Phillip Morris turned up the advertising heat to gain market share. Further, MediaPost reports that,
A McGraw-Hill Research analysis three years after the 1981-82 recession found that companies maintaining or increasing ad spending during that period enjoyed 256% higher sales than companies that had decreased their budgets.
There is no better time than a recession to brand yourself as an industry leader and survivor. Consumers avoid lesser known brands during tough times. They want the comfort of knowing they have purchased something from a brand that will weather the storm.
Weak competitors throw in the towel, giving smart, strong competitors an opportunity that should not be passed up. Also, media companies are struggling so the canny marketer can negotiate deals on advertising. Thus, fewer marketing dollars are needed to make the same impact. It becomes easier to reach your audience with less competitive clutter. Your aggressive marketing message now tells consumers that you are stable and strong, perfectly positioning you for a surge in better times.
However, it appears most of the big boys have forgotten those lessons learned in past recessions. General Mills should be the poster child of every marketer, increasing its consumer marketing spending by 19 percent recently. So, get out there and take the market share that rightfully belongs to you.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Stone Settings for Jewelry? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=40278&th=7424#msg_40278 <![CDATA[I've been getting questions about stone settings and I'm curious to see what's possible beyond simple prong settings. How would you go about doing a bezel setting? Or a bead setting? And do you think the (polished) silver printing is accurate enough to drop in a stone that you measured for? Can the 3D print contain all of the necessary material to create these kinds of settings without having to resort to traditional methods (i.e. soldering small strips of silver)?

 Just curious. I'm not necessarily looking for a tutorial, just some examples maybe of these types of settings being done. Anything to give me an idea of what kind of work and skills are needed. I'm not a jeweler, but I'm willing to entertain the idea of something more complex than a simple print-and-cast. Thanks!]]> TajTiger 2011-12-15T01:42:46-00:00 Re: Stone Settings for Jewelry? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=40338&th=7424#msg_40338 <![CDATA[I don't have any answers for you but thanks for asking this question. i've been meaning to ask the same thing myself for a while.

 Hopefully someone has tried these things before and can save us some time and money with experimentation.]]> samhaddow 2011-12-16T01:27:09-00:00 Re: Stone Settings for Jewelry? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=40353&th=7424#msg_40353 <![CDATA[I've used compression setting on 3 rings now. The hard part is silver is very malleable. But I'm getting better at it. ]]> Youknowwho4eva 2011-12-16T14:02:13-00:00 Re: Stone Settings for Jewelry? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=85543&th=7424#msg_85543 <![CDATA[I found this old thread looking for information on best practices and tips on designing settings for gems and other stones. Any pointers or tips?

 I tried and failed once, and I have been reluctant to try again.

 I measured the stone with a micrometer and designed the setting to accept it. What kind of space do you leave for the gem? Do you "notch" the prongs to accept the gem? I'm totally new at this, but I have been designing for a while now, just not settings like this. Thanks.]]> dfoley75 2014-02-27T16:56:15-00:00

Unfortunately, we can't embed the video here, but Fox News' "Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson moderated an interesting segment about the proper amount of video game screen time for kids. The discussion featured "Reality is Broken" author and game developer Jane McGonigal, and Susan Maushart, author of the book "The Winter of our Disconnect."
What is most interesting about the segment is the level of civility of all involved. Discussions about video games and the effects on children can often get out of control as two diametrical views collide and the moderator drops the ball or interjects their own opinions on the subject.
This segment offered three different perspectives; McGonigal believes the proper amount of screen time is right around three hours; Carlson allows her children 30 minutes a day; and Susan Maushart believes that technology gets in the way of life. While Maushart's method sounds extreme, it works for her, and as a parent that's her right.
Watch the segment here and form your own opinion.

Alvin's Brass Bullet Pencil Sharpener is the perfect accessory for taking on a day-long sketching trip. It's one of the tiniest and most compact pencil sharpeners ever made, yet it's one of the sturdiest.
It features solid brass bullet-shaped construction with a replaceable stainless steel cutting blade. The blade can be removed and sharpened in a knife sharpener.

works great
By murdermouse
from Atlanta, Ga
Comments about Alvin Brass Bullet Pencil Sharpener:
Compared to the cheap things that come with drawing sets these are great. The blades are much sharper and replaceable. I have severe arthritis and this is much easier to turn. Less likely to break the pencil core too.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Little workhorse
By Bajo el Sol
from Costa Rica
You wouldn't think weight would matter in a simple pencil sharpener, but it does. Skip the plastic models and go for brass. Fits the hand well and gives a sharp point.
The Best!!
By SerraSerra
from Akron, OH
I absolutely LOVE this little sharpener! Been looking for something that does coloured pencils without chewing them up and this certainly does a great job of not doing that. Doesn't do as good a job on my Staedtler graphite pencils but that's not why I got it. Would highly recommend for those using coloured pencils.

Great Sharpener
By Hannah Rain
from Summerfield, FL
I purchased this sharpener a few weeks ago for my Prismacolor colored pencils, it sharpens them perfectly best sharpener I've owned thus far.
Well worth the money!
By rexgrl3
from Atascadero, CA
You pay for what you get. This is the best sharpener I've ever used. I read the reviews and am so happy I ordered this item. It sharpens regular drawing pencils easily and charcoal pencils like a dream. The size is handy because I can take it anywhere. I also bought extra blades so I am ready when I have gone sharpening crazy and dull the original; that will take awhile!

Compact and Efficient Sharpener
By Wynd
from Banner Elk, NC
I am using this sharpener to sharpen Prismacolor pencils. I love the pencils, but my only issue with them is also what makes them so great - they have a soft core of color that can easily break using most sharpeners I have tried. The key with this one seems to be to hold and spin the sharpener itself around the pencil, not to spin the pencil in the sharpener. It seems to be easy on the color core, and puts a perfect point to the pencil. I also like the fact that when the blade becomes dull I can switch it out with a new one without having to go on a search for a new sharpener. While it is compact and I like that, I can see where it might be easy to misplace, especially if the surface you are working on looks like the top of my desk - a bit cluttered! I would buy this sharpener again *if* I ever do lose it, and I recommend it.
All you need
By SW
from Kathmandu, Nepal
This is the only sharpener you'll ever need. More importantly, it's the only one you'll ever want. It sharpens pretty much perfectly every time, and the blades are easy to change out. I can't imagine ever using anything else. Honestly.
love the bullet it sharpens so nice , love love love

Show Detailed Description
To evaluate if HLA-mismatched, unrelated-donor umbilical cord blood stem and progenitor cell units (UCBU) offered a clinically acceptable alternative to matched unrelated-donor allogeneic bone marrow for transplantation with 180-day disease free survival as the endpoint. HLA typing was performed using DNA-base high resolution methods to determine HLA alleles. Patients with "true" HLA 3/6 and 4/6 matches were evaluated. In addition, a separate study in adults addressed the problem of limited cell dose and engraftment failure. The study was not planned as a randomized comparative clinical trial. Instead, it is a phase II/III efficacy study.

I paid $55 for this album. There was little to no information, only that it was limited to 100 copies--pressed CD, in hardbound book-style digipak. Great packaging, I have to admit. The sound samples on the website were excellent. Only problem is (which I was not aware of), 54 minutes of this 60 minute CD is one repeating loop, which sounds like a cue ball breaking in a game of pool. (They should've called it "Pool Room"?) There's even a round ball on the cover artwork that coulud be a cue ball. Is this a hint??? Well OK, actually in the loop there is a cool low-drone and cicadas sounds, so it isn't just the cueball. The 6 minutes of actual music is EXCELLENT! Some great steel cello stuff like on the "Wouivre" CD, and some KW keyboard drones. But these tracks are like only two minutes apiece. Then they fade out and it's back to somebody playing pool for 30 minutes. I think the cueball stuff would've been cool as a 10-min. opener and/or closer, but 54 minutes of it is a bit much. Can you medidate to this album? I don't know, I'll have to try it out.
Being in a quiet place where the sound of human beings is either absent or minimal.
