Skunks are actually very intelligent. I'd rate them above cats and below dogs. They readily learn things via positive reinforcement. For example, the ones that come to my moms house wont spray her even when she shoo's them off. They've come to associate her with the food supply and have apparently figured out that turning their butt to her makes her go away FAST.

CORK, IRELAND -- (Marketwired) -- 08/13/14 -- SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced UK survey results highlighting the impact of application performance and availability on business end users, and their experiences with and expectations of IT when problems arise. Chief among the findings is that while the application is now the heart of businesses of all sizes and its performance is the lifeblood of success, IT continues to struggle to ensure its performance and availability.
The proliferation of BYOD, cloud, SaaS and consumer technologies in the workplace have made the application the disruptive technology that will drive business IT into the coming decades. At the same time, the application delivery chain is becoming more complex to support as applications become more networked, virtualisation drives IT infrastructure convergence and abstraction and end users become more mobile.
"Applications affect nearly every aspect of our world. And not just business, but well beyond. Today, applications impact people's lives in ways never imagined just five to ten years ago," said Suaad Sait, executive vice president, products and markets, SolarWinds. "The resulting importance of application performance and availability requires IT to expand beyond infrastructure-centric management to add app-centric management. Beginning now and increasingly so in the future, this will make or break businesses. Ultimately, IT will be held responsible for application performance, regardless of whether the application resides on premise or in the cloud. It's no longer just about if an application is working; it's about that application working to end user expectations. These survey results should be a wakeup call for IT Pros everywhere."
Fielded in June 2014, the survey yielded responses from more than 303 business application end users currently employed full time in an office environment -- public and private sector small, mid-size and enterprise companies -- in the UK.
Survey Findings
The application is the heart of business and its performance is the lifeblood of success
Applications, such as Microsoft® Exchange, SharePoint®, NetSuite® and others, are now at the core of nearly all business-critical functions and beyond. Major vendors such as Cisco have acknowledged this reality by architecting data center offerings to be app-centric. With this, application performance and availability have become more important than ever; productivity, end user satisfaction and revenue are all affected.
In fact, 94 percent of business end users who responded to the survey said application performance and availability affect their ability to do their job, with 44 percent saying it is absolutely critical. In addition, approximately 1 in 5 said slow or unavailable applications result in significant financial loss for their companies annually.
Reliance on applications is high, end user expectations are even higher
The quality of the end user application experience is critical for success. End users expect applications to work and work well. When application performance or availability issues do arise, end users expect a quick response time to problem resolution from IT, down to just minutes in some cases. For example, 66 percent of respondents said they expect application performance or availability problems to be resolved within an hour of reporting them, with 30 percent expecting a resolution in a half hour or less.
IT struggles to ensure application performance and availability
Despite the rise of applications as king of business infrastructure, applications and some form of management tools to support them have been in general business use for decades. However, the struggle for IT to ensure performance and availability of business-critical applications remains. To illustrate, 82 percent of respondents said they contacted their IT department in the past year due to an application performance or availability issue, with more than one-third having done so six times or more.
The complexity of the modern application stack (AppStack), or the application delivery chain comprised of the application and all the backend IT that supports it -- software, middleware and extended infrastructure required for performance -- adds to the challenge of identifying issues and the time required to resolve them. For instance, 38 percent said they have waited a full business day or more for performance or availability problems with business-critical applications to be resolved, with 22 percent having waited several business days or more.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Arrived at the hotel late on Feb 7th. Our room was 100 degrees F, the bellhop said he had never seen a room so hot. After a half hour a maintenance person fixed it.
We woke up at 5 am when it was 100 degrees F again, the heating system had again malfunctioned. So much for sleeping it had been progressively hot all night.

Upgrading or downgrading? I'm so confused.
Jan 13, 2013
Well, my 5D II (with some accessories) is on ebay, and a 6D is on the way. But is this an upgrade or a downgrade?
Just kidding...
Looking forward to the 6D. Love the smaller size and lighter weight, and the AF and features are more than enough for me.

Medication Summary
Medications may also be prescribed for anal fissures, such as topical nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and onabotulinumtoxinA injections, and are considered first-line therapy.[13] These medications reduce anal sphincter tone, which, in turn, increases anodermal blood flow.
Antibiotics may be necessary for the treatment of anal fistulas, especially if the patient presents with systemic symptoms.
Laxatives, Bulk-Producing
Class Summary
Psyllium facilitates easier passage of stools.
Psyllium (Fiberall, Metamucil, Konsyl, Reguloid, Natural Fiber Therapy)
Psyllium promotes bowel evacuation by forming a viscous liquid and promoting peristalsis.
Class Summary
Vasodilators that cause smooth muscle relaxation are used for relief of anal spasm.
Nitroglycerin rectal (Rectiv)
Organic nitrate is indicated for moderate to severe pain associated with chronic anal fissures. It elicits internal anal sphincter relaxation and reduces sphincter tone and resting intra-anal pressure.
Anxiolytics, Benzodiazepines
Class Summary
These agents may potentiate the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and facilitate inhibitory GABA neurotransmission.
Diazepam (Valium, Diastat)
Diazepam is indicated for the relief of severe anal sphincter spasms.
Class Summary
Antibiotic therapy must cover both aerobic and anaerobic gram-negative organisms.
Vancomycin is a potent antibiotic that is directed against gram-positive organisms and is active against Enterococcus species. It is useful in the treatment of septicemia, enterocolitis, and skin-structure infections. Vancomycin is indicated for patients who are unable to receive or have not responded to penicillins and cephalosporins or for patients with resistant staphylococcus infections. Creatinine clearance measurements are used to adjust the dose in patients with renal impairment.
Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Metronidazole is active against various anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It appears to be absorbed into cells. Intermediate metabolized compounds are formed and bind DNA and inhibit protein synthesis, causing cell death. The antimicrobial effect may be due to production of free radicals.
Ampicillin and sulbactam (Unasyn)
This drug combination of a beta-lactamase inhibitor with ampicillin interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis during active replication, causing bactericidal activity against susceptible organisms.
Ticarcillin and clavulanate potassium (Timentin)
This drug combination of antipseudomonal penicillin plus a beta-lactamase inhibitor inhibits biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide and is effective during the stage of active growth. It provides coverage against most gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic organisms.
Clindamycin (Cleocin)
Clindamycin is effective in the treatment of anaerobic bacteria. It has been shown to have superior effectiveness against streptococci and staphylococci. It continues to be effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Calcium Channel Blockers
Class Summary
Calcium channel blockers work by decreasing resting anal pressures. In a recent review, calcium channel blockers were shown to be as effective as topical nitrates. Oral and topical calcium channel blockers (diltiazem and nifedipine) have been shown to be effective treatment options for anal fissures.
Nifedipine (Nifediac CC, Adalat CC, Procardia, Procardia XL)
Nifedipine is the prototypical dihydropyridine. The topical form is preferred but must be compounded in the pharmacy.
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Cardizem CD, Cartia XT, Dilacor XR, Tiazac)
Diltiazem is a nondihydropyridine that has been reported to be effective. The topical form is preferred but must be compounded in the pharmacy.
Neuromuscular Blockers, Botulinum Toxins
Class Summary
OnabotulinumtoxinA is used typically to treat muscle hypertonia and cosmetic disorders. Typically, onabotulinumtoxinA is injected into the internal sphincter, reducing hypertonia. Various dosing schemes have been used, and it is typically injected on both sides of the anal fissure. OnabotulinumtoxinA has been shown to be as effective as topical nitrates, but with fewer adverse effects, including headache, and can be an alternative to surgery.
OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX)
OnabotulinumtoxinA is used typically to treat muscle hypertonia and cosmetic disorders. Typically, onabotulinumtoxinA is injected into the internal sphincter, reducing hypertonia.

Share this now to help elephant spread the word that the time for discrimination as socially acceptable is past, and please "like" Equal Rights for All.Whatever our party or political view, the path of love and compassion is truly nonpartisan, and much more fun! ~ ed.
"No capacity for empathy." Let's hope she's (even a teensy bit) wrong.
It gets better? Mitt gets worse.
If you care about equal rights for all, this is your election: compassion hangs in the balance.
Equal rights must in our generation be seen as they are: non-negotiable.
You know, as it says in the Declaration of Independence:
"The equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Julie Goodridge was a lead plaintiff in Goodridge v. Dept of Public Health — the lawsuit that brought same-sex marriage to Massachusetts. In this video, Goodridge shares her family's encounters with Gov. Mitt Romney, including a meeting with Romney, which Goodridge describes as "the most frustrating experience in the entire marriage case."

Ben Fouhy muddied the waters on Sydney's Olympic course today by presenting Canoe Racing New Zealand with a serious dilemma after his unexpected success in the final K2 1000 selection trial for London 2012.
The controversial Olympian's combination with Fred Teear upstaged the duo thought most likely to occupy New Zealand's K2 1000 berth in London - Steven Ferguson and Darryl Fitzgerald - in the last event of the Oceania championships in Penrith.
By finishing second in the final, won by Australians Ken Wallace and Murray Stewart, Fouhy and Teear strengthened their claims.
Ferguson and Fitzgerald were a distant seventh almost 12 seconds behind Fouhy and Teear, who were chased home by the third New Zealand combination of Troy Burbidge and Liam O'Loughlin.
CRNZ high performance director Grant Restall admitted the emergence of Fouhy and Teear - who only formed their combination late last year - had complicated matters.
"It's opened up a can of worms. Previously we had Steve and Darryl sitting pretty dominant and now Ben and Fred have started to come forward.
"They are a force to be reckoned with so we need to consider that. Their climb has been steeper."
This was the third trial following races on the Blue Lake in Rotorua and last month's national championships - the score between the pairs was one win apiece but more success for Fouhy and Teear does not resolve the issue because Ferguson and Fitzgerald are considered the more experienced combination.
The three-man selection panel of Steven Richards, John MacDonald and Terry Newlands have until June to submit their team to the New Zealand Olympic Committee for rubberstamping. CRNZ head coach Gordon Walker also has input in the decision making process.
Fouhy, the K1 1000 silver medallist at Athens eight years ago is assured of competing in his specialist event in London, but the Olympic dreams of Ferguson, Fitzgerald and Teear now rest with the selectors.
"We'll sit back and go through the stats, work through things and try and work out who we're going to nominate to the NZOC," Restall said.
There may be a fourth and final trial held either at Lake Karapiro or at the Polish World Cup meet in May.
However, it was preferable for the team to be confirmed before they head to Europe to complete their preparations for London.
Fouhy, who announced his retirement from the sport in January last year because of recurring funding issues and a lack of autonomy over his career, has been impressive since reconsidering.
Fouhy, 32, cruised to the K1 1000 national title and secured New Zealand's Olympic berth yesterday when winning his heat by 7 seconds.
Fouhy was fourth in the final - and then disqualified for a technical infringement - but neither setback has a bearing on his selection in the individual event.
Meanwhile, in the women's programme Lisa Carrington and Erin Taylor combined to win the K2 500 final as their preparations for London intensified.
Competing abroad for the first time since last August's world championships in Hungary, the duo clocked 1min 45.11 seconds to cross ahead of Australia's Naomi Flood and Lindsey Fogarty (1:45.70).
"We always want to race really well and it proves the training we've done over the last six months has been worthwhile," Carrington said.
Carrington, the K1 200 world champion, pipped Alana Nicholls in her specialist event though her Australian rival squared their ledger in the K1 500.
Teneale Hatton secured New Zealand Olympic qualification in the K1 500 by winning her heat but was no certainty to go to London.
Her selection for the Oceania champs was not significant because the field was weakened by the absence of Australians.
Hatton was only fifth at the New Zealand championships; Marianne Archer and Rachael Dodwell are among those eyeing the berth.

I would just stick with Bryce Lodge in Bryce. Ruby's is pretty weak,IMOP.
Eat lunch in Zion, right outside the lodge under the big tree, many people there every day.
Whiptail Grill in Springdale would get my vote. Spaghetti squash enchilada is very good there.

Sorry, I was in a hurry - there are a couple of Santa Fe food threads as well. Look for threads by DebitNM and BeachGirl247.
I really like Andiamo! www.andiamoonline.com in the Railyard area for moderately priced Italian food. Cowgirl BBQ, also in the Railyard, is tasty as well.

If you are in Kanab near a meal time the Rocking V is a fantastic place to eat.

BeachGirl put together a big list for Santa Fe.
Here's a few for SF: (1) Tomasita's - there's a reason they have lines out the door at opening; (2) La Choza - also good for NM food (Tomasita's is far better); (3) Flying Star Cafe - excellent and sizable desserts; (4) agree with her Gherkinness above on Cowgirl BBQ and Andiamo.
For Taos = Old Blinking Light, El Taoseno. Bent Street Cafe for lunch; but Doc Marten's is bang<buck.

I also like the Whiptail Grill and the Switchback Grill. My favorite in Springdale is Zion Pizza and Noodle. Great pizza, pasta, draft beer and wine.

At the recent World Series of Chess held in the tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick in the northern alps, a seasoned grandmaster was caught off guard by a local newcomer's surprising gambit. GM Ilya Boobipanov was defeated by LP Tully Bascombe in the first upset of the event. "This is an outrage!" Boobipanov complained. "Why was I paired with this incompetent fathead!?" The bewildered Bascombe, shocked by his own good fortune, commented "I don't even know what a gambit is! I just learned to play last week..... I thought I blundered a piece away!" Here's the comedy of errors itself:
Very amusing. The duchy of Grand Fenwick was a nice touch.
This was hilarious!
Funniest story I've heard in a long time
Was this actually real??
You bet it was real. Feel free to look up GM Boobipanov's games on chessgames.com if you need some proof.
Here is an update from the tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick: Local chess nebbish Tully Bascombe has been reported missing. Authorities say he was last seen at the World Series of Chess event where witnesses say he was involved in an altercation with another player. The well-known but short-tempered grandmaster Ilya Boobipanov is being held for questioning. Police say that so far, Boobipanov has just kept repeating the same annoying line: "I know nothing! Nothing!"
I can understand Boobipanov's pain, as he was just about to cross the magic 2800 barrier!
Yes, this is undoubtedly a factor in Boobipanov's bizarre behavior. As a result of his loss to this 'rookie', his rating has plunged precipitously. In fact, it's dipped so low, the authorities have forced him to eat his meals in the 'Class C' dining room, with a bunch of middle-school kids. However, there have been other unusual incidents at this tournament. See Another Shocker at the World Series of Chess!

Good 3.9 /5 from 109 reviews
Great service. great staff. we both had an excellent stay. will come back for sure
The stay was good. The restaurant was great for breakfast. The only minor complaint was the bathroom was a bit smelly and the outside shower did not work. We both like the open air showers in Bali.
Tony's is a little tired, but comfortable and great value. The location is perfect if you want to enjoy the best restaurants in Bali.
Everything about our stay at Tony's was great. Just one exception which I guess was out of Tony's control. Annoying dog was barking in the early am hours from a building site behind our room.
Tony's Villa is well located and 5mins to potatoe head and W hotel. Room were great. Downside was that some of the staff usually offer private cars which are over priced compared to taxi. While we were there,the other rooms were under construction hence it was noisy in the morning. But we would like to thank one of the staff EDDIE for his friendly and helpful service.do take note that there is a club outside the Villa hence would be noisy till 4-5am which was OK for us. Overall I would say TONY'S Villa is value for money: )

French Derby (Fr-I) winner Holding Court, who was also eligible for the $1-million bonus, finished sixth. Sagitta Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) winner King's Best was pulled up on the backstretch.Three-year-old Sinndar (Grand Lodge--Sinntara, by Lashkari) won his debut race at the Curragh in September and followed that with a head victory in the National Stakes (Ire-I) two weeks later. He made his sophomore debut in the listed Ballysax Stakes at Leapordstown in April, finishing second, a head behind Grand Finale. He defeated Bach by a head in the 1 1/4-mile Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial (Ire-III) before winning the Vodafone Derby by a length. With the Irish Derby win, Sinndar improves his career record to five wins from six career starts.

Its good as the original book and not written by LJ SMITH. it stefan telling the story it an ok book.
This book carries on with the story of Damon and Stefan Salvatore, two brothers whom are both vampires. It has been a while since the brothers have seen each other, twenty years in fact. But they are never that far away from each other. We follow them from human to vampire.
Stefan is living in England and suspects the work of a brutal killer is his brother. When he travels to London he looks Damon up. He assures Stefan he is not the ripper. So they work together finding out who it is. Then a twist is thrown in and an original may be after them. The showdown is one you don't want to miss. I don't want to spoil it but you won't see it coming.
My only disappointment is that they didn't follow along in a similar story to the tv show, I know it's based on the show, but the time frame differences do make a difference. We meet the characters from the show and get to fill in some gaps along the way. It is a really enjoyable and fun read.
I am a huge fan of L.J Smith books, I always have been. I know these aren't written by her anymore and that is disappointing, but they have tried and it is excellent writing. It is a fast paced and compelling read, one you will not want to put down. I would highly recommend this for all vampire fans, Vampire Diaries fans and urban fantasy fans.
Volume four of Stefan's Diaries (the ripper) focuses on his relationship with his brother, whom he last saw over twenty-years ago along with haunting memories of mystic falls. However, when news from London reaches Stefan about a brutal killer on the loose (aka. Jack the Ripper), the only suspect in Stefan's mind is that of a Vampire...and one with a deadly bite and lust for blood...this is an intense, heartrending tale of brotherly bonds amid electric tension and heated conflict. It is certainly reminiscent of those family tensions and dramas, for as the saying goes...
"Blood runs thicker than water"
Full of shocking drama, unfolding secrets and suspense this has to be one of my favorites of Stefan's Diaries (Origins, Bloodlust & the craving). With a touch of the danger similar to that from Twilight Saga: in the form of Nomadic Vampires, with a creepy feeling of foreboding as the tension rises, this is a book that will have you glued to the pages with anticipation. I love how the books have covers of the television series and those actors whom we see as those distinctive characters within the books, which make it all the more striking.
The Vampire Diaries are an exceptional series and so I cannot praise them enough!!

SBD/23/Sponsorships Advertising Marketing
Published April 23, 1996
The Orlando Area Sports Commission (OASC) "resembled a charity of sorts" in its early days, according to a profile in the ORLANDO SENTINEL. It barely survived on the public "dole and donations" from companies that supported its efforts to attract sports events to Central FL. Since then, the OASC decided to raise funds by offering companies a chance to advertise at its events. Also, since OASC President Randy Johnson became president eight months ago and began selling sponsorships, the OASC has generated nearly $68,000 in revenue, almost twice that collected in the previous twelve months. The "more-aggressive pursuit of private dollars" has also influenced new localities to join to provide OASC with $327,500, a 7% increase from last year (Gene Yasuda, ORLANDO SENTINEL, 4/22).

Genus: Bothriolepis
…an extinct genus of antiarch placoderms that lived during the late Devonian period. This genus was largely successful with over 100 species that lived throughout the Devonian. Most members of Bothriolepis were freshwater benthic detritivores, although some were probably able to enter saltwater as well. Some paleontologists hypothesize that live salmon they lived their lives in saltwater and returned to freshwater to breed. Like other antiarches Bothriolepis had a heavily armored head that was attached to a thoratic shield. It also had a long pair of pectoral fins, these fins were likely used to lift it off the bottom as its heavy armor would have made it sink when it lost momentum. It might have also used its fins to throw sediment over itself.

Savage 10 metre fish of the Silurian and Devonian
Heavily armoured piscine torpedoes with fierce teeth roamed the oceans in the early days of fishes, in fact the Devonian era is called the age of fishes by palaeontologists as they had a huge burst of speciation and diversified to fill most marine ecological niches during this time. The now extinct (fortunately) class known as placodermi (plate skin in Greek) was the apex predator of these long gone waters, and thrived from 438 to 358 million years ago, dying out at the end Devonian mass extinction (one of the lesser ones).
