There are many benefits of coconut oil for dogs being discovered for dogs, even though it was not recommended in the past. The coconut, also known as the "tree of life", has been found to have many benefits not only for humans, but for our best friends as well.
There are many products and furniture made from coconut lumber and leaves. Many foods and desserts have at least a bit of coconut milk in them. But the most popular use of the coconut, in the field of health and medicine, is the coconut's oil, which has been found to cure or alleviate many diseases.
Benefits of Coconut Oil For Dogs
Many diseases and ailments, like yeast infections, smelly coats, hot spots, cuts that have been infected, and even cracked paws, can all be cured with just a jar of "virgin coconut oil." When all forms of diet remedies have failed, then it is time to try out this miracle natural medicine for your dog. Virgin coconut oil means that it is unrefined, and it can be used for both dogs and humans. Lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid, can help prevent bacterial and viral infections. This is most commonly found in a mother's milk and builds the immune system. Fortunately, dogs can benefit from the same kind of protection and health advantages it gives throughout their lives.
There are many other benefits of coconut oil for dogs, all good reasons why you should give your dog some virgin coconut oil. First, it can potentially reduce cancer risks. It also improves the digestion of your dog and becomes medicine for most digestive upsets. The thyroid function is also kept normal with coconut oil. It can give your dog a smooth glossy coat, as well as healthy, supple skin. Yeast and fungal infections are also treated and prevented through the use of coconut oil. Arthritis and similar pains can also be minimized or treated. Coconut can also balance your dog's metabolism rate to keep his weight under control.
Another area in which amazing results have been attained is in prevention of parasitic infestations, and apparently curing the problem in many instances. As described in an article on the HealingNaturallyByBee.com website:
Coconut oil may provide an effective defense against many troublesome parasites including giardia. Like bacteria and fungi, giardia can't stand up against MCFA found in coconut oil.
Research has confirmed the effectiveness of MCFA in destroying giardia and possibly other protozoa.5,6,7 By using coconut oil and other coconut products every day, you may be able to destroy giardia before it can establish a toehold.
It can be given internally or applied externally, and can provide remedies for many skin infections. It can disinfect cuts and improve your dog's general skin and coat condition, making it healthier. Wounds also heal faster with coconut oil, and it helps to deodorize your dog's skin and clear up some rashes as well.
And unlike most herbal products that are good for your dog's health, coconut is something that your dog will most probably love to eat. They will most likely gobble up the coconut oil and not be too picky with it. Just as humans can get a bit nutty for coconut, so can our beloved buddies. Mix it with their food – it has cured many picky eaters.
Many vets and researchers today are recommending the regular use of coconut oil for dogs and many other pets as an excellent source of nutrients, which keeps your dog in good health.
The recommended dose is pretty easy; just give a teaspoon of coconut oil per 10 pounds of dog, or you can give a table spoon per 30 pounds. Start with about 1/4 the recommended dosage and build up to the recommended level over 3-4 weeks, as sometimes flu-like symptoms can appear if you hurried it right away.
More benefits of coconut oil for dogs are being constantly discovered. Get some for your fur baby's health and well-being.
Have you already started using coconut oil for your dog? Feel free to share this article with others below.

Can I put coconut oil on dogs fur and how much he's about 60 lbs
I have two dogs a shitzu and a shorkies my shitzu has arthritis and my shorkie has anxity problems someone told me to start the cocnut oil I started last night they loved it would you give it to them twice a day or once a day
Would like to hear from anyone who has used coconut oil for your dogs breath problem and did it work ?
YES! My oldest dachshund has always had a bit of funky breath, but as he got older it got so much worse. About a month ago I started giving all my dogs about a teaspoon of coconut oil as a bedtime treat. My youngest's dachshunds fur is incredibly shiny and even the vet complimented her about it. My middle pup never had many problems, but her coat is more shiny now. So on to the one I have constant problems with, my oldest. His breath is worlds better than it was a month ago. And when I say this, it had gotten so bad I wouldn't let him near my face. Now I am happy to let him lick my face again.
What is the difference between coconut milk, coconut water? I used the coconut oil on my show beagle. I have one over weight dog , how much and when do I give her the coconut oil?
Hi Barbara.
Coconut milk is extracted from coconut milk. Coconut water is what you get as soon as you open one.
Do you use the liquid form or coconut oil in a jar? And does it have to be organic?
All coconut oil is organic. Coconuts are naturally organic. Don't be fooled by the label and pay more.
I have a Great Dane who weighs around 140-150#'s. Out of nowhere about a week and a half ago she came down with a horrible case of hives. She is now started losing hair and looks horrible. I've tried Benadryl which did not work at all, so I'm going to start her on coconut oil tonight and see if that helps. I am going to start her at 1 tbsp 2x a day and then work up from there…….Fingers crossed!
My dog did that also, its Hypothyroid.
Hey my Female 12 lb Shitzu had the same case. Did you get to try the coconut oil and what was the result?
I'm not a vet. To cut a long story short, I've now researched pet nutrition for almost 6 years and been feeding our girls raw since they were 8 weeks old, the eldest is now 6 years young.
I run a Facebook group "As Nature Intended". This group is an advocate of 100% natural raw diet for pets. I invite holistic vets, researchers, trainers, breeders, whisperers, nutritionists and of course carers from all over the world. If you are looking for advice, considering on making the transition, or looking for guidance, hints and tips on how to make the transition or when and what to feed. Wish to learn the benefits of alternative medicine, raw feeding and much more?
Then this informative group is there for you, 24/7
I have also found it is useful for dog tartar build up & that pesky bad breath. Please keep in mind it is not a cure all for tartar build up, your dog should have still have dental's by your Veterinarian.

On the Commonweal Yahoo discussion group there are periodic discussions of hate-crime legislation and on differing legal systems approaches to it. Todays "Washington Post"at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/19/AR2007041902518.html [1] reports that the European Union has approved new regulations on hate crimes and racism; they would need approval by national parliaments and definitions of the offenses would have to be supplied.
But examples were given: it would be a crime to deny that the Jewish Holocaust happened, or the slaughter in Rwanda. On the other hand, requests from former Soviet republics that denying or trivializing crimes under Stalin be included in the regulations were rejected by the E.U. officials.
According to the Post article, "human rights organizations criticized the new guidelines as too weak, citing loopholes such as one that would allow states to limit prosecutions in [perhaps "to" is meant?] cases likely to disturb public order."
All this seems quite foreign to the US constitutional and legal traditions, and people from elsewhere are critical of us for this lack. On the other hand, some of us think that actions like this resemble nothing more than those notorious "speech-codes" some colleges have embraced. One will already notice the selective outrage displayed by the EU officials as between Hitler and Stalin.

Comment - Soft Drinks & Water - Olympic Tension for Sports Drinks
By Richard Corbett | 21 August 2012
The flags have been folded away, the medals handed out and the Olympic flag handed to the Mayor of Rio: London 2012 is over and Richard Corbett, like many, enjoyed it. But, did sports drinks producers get as much from the Olympics as he did?
Only the Olympics can get you transfixed for sustained periods of time by events like archery or taekwondo just because a compatriot has an outside chance of a medal. It is for this reason that the global beverage heavyweights responsible for the big sports drinks brands got their cheque books out once again and invested sizeable amounts to be associated with the Games. No other sporting event offers such an opportunity to reach the audience for sports drinks.
According to beverage researchers Canadean, the sports drink market is big business: Around the world, we drink more than 11bn litres of the stuff, which is in excess of one-and-a-half litres per capita; enough to fill 4,457 Olympic swimming pools. Of course, that is nowhere near CSDs, but sports drinks sell for nearly 50% more than regular soft drinks and that is what justifies the big players' huge marketing spend.
Authenticity is key, that is why advertising activity often has a scientific slant to it. No expense is spared to sign up global sporting superstars to be pictured training and guzzling the relevant product, often with somebody in a white coat nearby measuring something. The Olympics is where many of these sporting superstars congregate.
Timing is also an important part of the marketing mix. It is probably no coincidence that the British Medical Journal chose this month to publish a series of articles disputing the advertising claims of the sports drinks and training shoe players. Not surprisingly the British Soft Drinks Association and the American Beverage Association have had their noses put out of joint: It is criticism from a high-brow source that undermines the credibility of the products of some of their members. It will rankle a bit when you think they have just invested a small fortune supporting and promoting the greatest show on earth. The Olympics is Christmas for sports drinks.
I have some sympathy with the ABA and the BSDA because there is undoubtedly science behind the drinks. Science is expensive and that is why just three companies - Coca-Cola Co, PepsiCo and GSK - account for two-thirds of the world's sports drink sales. You have to have the resources to develop products in a part of the drinks market that is bordering on pharmaceutical.
There are many that agree with the two trade associations when they say that the British Medical Journal is guilty of cherry-picking the scientific studies to bash the sports drink industry.
There is, of course, likely to be some gap between the science and the advertising. No ad agency would be doing its job without exaggerating the claims of its client a little bit. The problem with sports drinks is that a lot of the people who drink them have not undertaken strenuous activity. They may be appropriate to Usain Bolt after an intensive training session but not for the rest of us, who have not. Sports drinks are too often consumed for refreshment not for replenishment. For this reason, they probably have as high a profile in convenience stores and garage forecourts as they do in gyms and sports clubs. It is for this reason more than a shortfall in their scientific credibility that make sports drinks vulnerable to criticism. Sports drinks are often contributing to the obesity issues so well-publicised in the developed world.
The ABA and the BSDA are right to defend their corner, though, because they have much to lose from any backlash against sports drinks. UK drinkers consume nearly three litres of sports drinks each per year, while Americans consume as much as 15 litres, considerably more than the global average. In fact, the US accounts for four in every ten litres of sports drinks consumed around the world, according to Canadean.
If the US sports drinks market sneezes, then it is likely that the global sports drinks market will catch a cold.

Behavior Changes in Senior Dogs (cont.)
Specific Geriatric Behavior Problems and Their Behavioral Treatment
Anxiety-Including Separation Anxiety
Some common concerns reported by guardians of aging dogs are increased sensitivity and irritability, increased fear of unfamiliar pets and people (sometimes accompanied by aggression), decreased tolerance of touch and restraint, increased following and desire for contact, and increased anxiety when left alone. Noise sensitivity from hearing loss can also make some dogs more anxious and vocal. Your own frustration and distress over your dog's behavior can add to your dog's anxiety as well.
If house soiling has become a problem, some guardians opt to crate their dogs when they're not home. Unfortunately, confining a senior dog to a crate can raise his anxiety level if he's never been crated or is no longer accustomed to it. To make things worse, if he can't get comfortable in the crate, or if he can't control his bowels or bladder, he'll be even more anxious and may attempt to escape. In these cases, it may be the confinement, not the guardian's departure, that causes anxiety.
If it's the guardian's departure and absence that causes a dog's anxiety, it's called separation anxiety. The cardinal indicators of separation anxiety are:
The most important factor in diagnosing these behaviors as separation anxiety is that they occur only during your absence. If these behaviors occur while you or your family members are home, other issues may be causing them instead. For example, if your dog soils in the house both when you're gone and when you're home, you probably have a house training problem. The same is true of destructiveness. If destructive chewing happens when you're home, it's a training issue, not separation anxiety.
A distinct feature of geriatric (late-onset) separation anxiety is that it can manifest as nighttime anxiety, almost as if your dog views your sleeping as a form of separation. Your dog may keep you awake by pacing, panting and pawing at you, and demanding attention. This type of separation anxiety may indicate undiagnosed disease, and it can be relieved by treating the disease or, at minimum, relieving your dog's pain or discomfort. A thorough examination by your dog's veterinarian is crucial to determine whether there's a medical basis for your dog's anxiety.
Treatment for separation anxiety involves controlling any underlying medical problems and using a behavioral treatment called desensitization and counterconditioning (DSCC). Please see our article, Desensitization and Counterconditioning, for more information about the effective use of these treatments. Identifying and changing any of your own responses that might be aggravating your dog's behavior is also helpful. In conjunction with behavioral treatment, pheromones and drugs can be used to reduce anxiety and improve your dog's cognitive function. Please see our article, Separation Anxiety, for more detailed information on this disorder and its treatment.

HEREFORD - Deaf Smith County residents Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a $1.55 million bond issue to provide improvements to Hereford Regional Medical Center.
Residents voted 735 to 248 for the bonds, which will pay for updating outdated equipment and for repairs to the building, said Jackie McNeese, administrative assistant to Chief Executive Officer James Taylor.
The vote tally showed that 74.8 percent of the voters favored the bond issue.
"We're really excited," McNeese said. "We feel like this is a statement from the city of Hereford and the county of Deaf Smith for our hospital."
McNeese said the long-range planning committee now will decide when will be the best time to sell the bonds, prioritize the hospital's needs and then spend the money. The bonds will be paid off within 10 years, McNeese said.
"We're ready to get that money tomorrow," she said.
The board hopes that it will not have to raise taxes, but it is possible that yearly taxes could increase $8, or about 67 cents a month, on a $50,000 home, according to information from the hospital.
About $1.3 million of the bonds will go to direct patient-care equipment and about $177,000 will go to indirect patient care equipment and renovations, according to hospital information.
The money will pay for a laundry list of needs at the hospital, including outdated radiology equipment that fills a room, intravenous monitors, obstetrics equipment, ultrasound equipment and other medical equipment throughout the hospital.
McNeese said the radiology equipment is 17 years old, which would make it difficult to find replacement parts should it break down.
Building repairs - including plumbing repairs and boiler replacement - also top the list of needs at the hospital.
The bond proposal came out of a study by the long-range planning committee of the hospital board of directors, McNeese said previously.
The hospital board of directors voted in September to set the bond issue.

There is something a bit weird I noticed lately: When the message 'Question with new activity' pops up at the top of the questions list and I click the 'Questions' button instead of the message itself, the new question mysteriously vanishes for a few minutes or so, no matter how often I click 'Questions' again. Basically it looks like the polling time for the bar is much shorter than that for the 'Question' button. Did anybody notice this?

This question came from our discussion, support, and feature requests site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems.
This is by design.
The Questions page is heavily cached, so it can take a couple of minutes for new questions to appear.
Since pushing new questions via Web Sockets is a lot less expensive, there's no caching (or less) and they appear much faster this way.
The obvious solution is: Don't do that.
Real-time updates have been designed specifically to prevent this delay and reduce the load on the servers.

Immediately after crashing the security gates, Domino and Attack Beast switched positions for the next shot.
As Riley prepares to jump off the roof, a plane can be seen (and heard) in the background flying quite low to ground. However in the very next shot that includes Duke, the plane is gone. Given the angle of the second shot, the plane couldn't have got out of shot in that time.
Riley's suit appears to be several sizes too big, especially when he first appears (he signs the clipboard before going to the roof). You would think that a business man such as him would be able to afford a tailored suit, or at least one his size.
Duke: You should know that Beast and I aren't talking.
Kyle: Is this about Alanis Morissette?
Duke: No car is gonna tell me what music to play!
Kyle: Erica, Trek, find out if there's any other connection between these guys, if any one person might benefit from their deaths.
Trek: I can handle it, if you wanna let Erica do something that she's good at. By the way, what are you good at?
Erica: If Dr Geek here wants to prove what a man he is by talking to the computers all by himself, fine with me!
Kyle: Why can't we get along like the guys on Mission: Impossible?
Jenny: How'd you get him to listen to you? Duke would never take orders from a car.
Kat: I just used Kyle's voice print. Duke thought he was talking to him.
Kyle: Do you think the cars are getting a little too smart?
Duke: I don't want things to get ugly, do you?
Assistant: Five years of Tai Chi, you don't wanna mess with me. (Duke moves closer) He's at the elevator, you just passed him on your way in. Don't hurt me!
Erica: Look, Jenny, the reason I'm here is because I've got talent for convincing people I'm someone I'm not. But lets face it, there is no way anyone is going to buy me as Trek's girlfriend!
Jenny: Why not?
Erica: Ow, that hurt!
Domino: Dr Magda Matleonski, former KGB mind control specialist and apparently a cross-dresser with no flair for colour!
Jenny: You're not working for Vogue, Domino. Just give us the facts.
Jaclyn: Hurry back because I want to know who did your implants.
Erica: Oh, they're real.
Jaclyn: Yeah right, honey, and I'm Elle Macpherson!
Jenny: (about Erica and Trek) Well well well, sounds like they're actually getting along.
Duke: Give them time.
Erica: (to Trek) Look, Beevis, I rated higher than you in hand-to-hand combat, don't tick me off!
Jenny: Duke, lets try to catch up with them. Kyle, you should......probably tell us what to do.
Kyle: Why can't we get along like the guys on Mission: Impossible?
Mission: Impossible is an American televison series that ran from 1966 to 1973. It concerned the work of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), a small group of secret agents. It inspired a trilogy of films released in the 1990s and 2000s with Tom Cruise as the lead agent in each.

Presents a generalization of a new kernel family with compact support in scale space which we recently published (Vision Interface, pp. 445-52, May 1999). We have shown that the proposed kernels are able to recover the information loss when using the Gaussian kernel, while they drastically reduce the processing time. Furthermore, the generalized kernel family preserves all the properties of the previous one and it offers other important properties, like the behavior of the first and second derivatives which are guaranteed to be the same as the Gaussian kernel one at any scale space. The latter property plays an important role in image processing, as we show in this paper. The construction and some properties shown in the previous version are recalled and some of the new properties of the new version are proven. An application of extracting handwritten data from noisy bi-level document images is presented to point out the practical impact of the improved version of the proposed kernels

In short
Children in Moroto district are resorting to gold mining instead of going to school arguing that it is a better deal for them. An estimated 5,000 children are working in gold mines in Rupa Sub County in Moroto district either in actual extraction or in ancillary services such as selling food and collecting water among others.
At the Rupa gold mining site about 10 kilometers away from Moroto town towards the Kenya border, 15-year-old Moses Aleper scours the water for glistering flakes, a job he says beats going to school on an empty stomach.
Aleper says his parents tell him what he is doing is right because he can buy his own clothes. He says there is no point of being in school because there are few formal job opportunities in Uganda now days.
Aleper says he gets between 7, 000 to 10, 000 shillings a day for his labour.
An estimated 5,000 children are working in gold mines in Rupa Sub County in Moroto district either in actual extraction or in ancillary services such as selling food and collecting water among others, and the number is said to increase significantly on weekends and during school holidays.
14-year-old Philips Lokulu, who dropped out in primary six at Rainbow Primary School, argues that gold mining for now is better.
Lokulu, who says he is a total orphan, notes that he wants to work hard and get enough money to return to school next year.
//Cue in: "….was in rainbow primary school…"
Cue out: "….is very far no where to get them."//
Some of the children in schools near the gold mining site are said to be abandoning classes for the mining, arguing that they want to get money to support their parents in buying scholastic materials.
13-year-old Paul Luka, a primary three pupil of Karamoja Development Agency primary school confesses that in most cases he ends up missing school for gold-mining which he says is a lucrative business.
He says because of gold mining he is able to support his parents efforts in educating him.
//Cue in: "….we are digging the gold…."
Cue out: "…pay the school fees."//
Robert Jaka, the Rupa Sub county LC 3 chairperson says school attendance in the affected areas is about 35 percent of the total school days, meaning that in one week a child working at the gold mine will attend school for just two days.
Jaka says they know the dangers of involving children in gold mining, both in terms of losing school days and damaging their health, but that they rely on the goodwill of people to report the cases but this does not happen often because parents encourage their children to seek employment at the mines.
Jaka says his efforts to persuade parents to keep children in school have been in vain.
Joseph Noruku, an elder who is said to be among the people behind the establishment of the mining site in Rupa in 1980, decries the exploitation by those who buy the minerals from these children.
Cue in: "There is nowhere to go…"
Cue out: "…one hundred thousand"
Dusty conditions in the mines, where protective masks are not used, may also contribute to respiratory tract infections.
Children under 18 constitute 30-50 percent of the total workforce in small-scale gold mines across Africa, according to the UN International Labour Organization.

STINNETT Miguel Flores returned to death row Wednesday with a new date with the executioner.
Judge William D. Smith, during a hearing in 84th District Court, set Nov. 9 for Flores execution.
Smith read through the history of Flores capital murder conviction and appeals, then asked Flores if he had any reason why the execution date should not be set.
No, Flores said.
Flores, a Mexican national, was placed on death row for the June 1989 kidnapping, rape and stabbing death of Eastern New Mexico University student Angela Tyson, who was working at a video rental store in Borger, Globe-News files state. Flores has been on death row since Sept. 14, 1990.
Tysons family filled two rows of the courtroom for the hearing.
After the hearing, Tysons father, Gerald Tyson, said he felt the execution was one step closer.
He took her life and should give his life in place of it, because hes destroyed more lives and harmed more lives than he knows, Tyson said.
Minnie Tyson, the victims mother, said she and her husband were planning to attend the execution, but theres no such thing as closure.
He was the last person she saw alive, Gerald Tyson said. I can be maybe the last person hell see alive.
The Tysons thanked friends, family and law enforcement for their support.
Weve met people we never knew before thats grieving with us, Gerald Tyson said.
Flores has exhausted all but one of his remedies to forestall lethal injection, according to 84th District Attorney Clay Ballman.
His last recourse is to ask the U.S. Supreme Court one more time to review his case, Ballman said previously. He has 90 days from June 12 to ask for that review.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case in 1994, Globe-News files state.
Flores abducted Tyson at knifepoint when she was closing up the Borger video rental store where she was working and forced her into her car, Globe-News files state. Flores drove her to a remote area outside Borger, where he sexually assaulted her, court records state.
After the assault, Flores drove Tyson to a spot where they were seen by the victims father. Flores drove back to Borger, where he parked the car and talked to Tyson for several minutes, records state.
When Tyson began screaming, Flores stabbed her with a pocket knife, court documents state. Tyson was stabbed six times in the chest and four times in the back, according to trial testimony.
Her body was found in the front seat of her car about 1 a.m. June 29, 1989. The car was parked in front of a residence on Mary Street, northeast of Borger.
Flores came within days of being executed in 1995, according to files. On Aug. 5, 1995, Flores received a stay of execution from U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice. He was scheduled to die Aug. 9, 1995. Attorney John Jay Thorpe asked that the court appoint him to represent Flores at the federal level and to put off the execution.
Justice granted Thorpes request and gave him 180 days to prepare the petition that would challenge the constitutionality of Flores conviction and death sentence.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the states highest criminal tribunal, upheld Flores conviction and death sentence in December 1993 and denied his application for relief on July 28, 1995, court documents show.

Dead Aid
Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa
Dambisa Moyo
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $24, 208 pp.
It's anyone's guess whether Dead Aid, the title of Dambisa Moyo's new book, will become as famous a phrase as "Live Aid," the 1985 rock music extravaganza that raised money for famine-stricken Ethiopia.
Thanks to a spring flood of publicity, however, Moyo's catchy, unabashedly derivative title is now part of the economic lexicon, and her thesis that aid has done more harm than good for Africa is woven into the ongoing economic dialogue about how to help the third world. I didn't appreciate just how woven until I read a newspaper comment by the head of American Friends of Kenya, a small nonprofit organization based in Connecticut with which I am traveling to Kenya this summer. "None of the stuff we do is aid," the AFK leader was quoted as saying. "We are not an aid-providing organization. We are an infrastructure-building organization." It seems that aid, like charity before it, has become a bad word.
Moyo is not the first to argue that aid to Africa has inadvertently caused economic stagnation, endemic corruption, and even civil wars. But she is the first black African economist, albeit with all the proper Western credentials (a PhD in economics from Oxford, and a master's from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government), to make this case so pointedly. So she has made the media rounds, everywhere from Fox News to The Colbert Report.

I have some problems in my Google Maps plugin.
Firstly, when I change the zoom, nothing changes on the map, it's always an automatic zoom. How to fix that?
Secondely, when I am on the map, there is a beautiful option which permit to make an itinary! But... The default units are "miles"... But nobody in my country use this unit. How could I change the default unit to kilometer?
Thirstly, just for the fun: it could be too cool if you permit to add some icons themes! The basic theme is cool, but not the best I saw I think. ^^
Babye and thank you so much for your plugin :)

Hello everyone,
I would like to use WordPress as a tool to organize the updates and news posts on my site's main page (index.html). For this I would like to "pull out" (if possible) only the Date, Title, and Content of each post that I make with WordPress (cutting out File Under, Comments and everything else). Regrettably I am unfamiliar with PHP and have a while until I can begin familiarizing myself with it. If anyone can help me with a way I can call up only those three things to display on my splash page, I'd really appreciate it. All of my WordPress files are stored in a folder named WordPress off of my main directory.

Screw drive does ot necessarily mean slower focusing. Varies from lens to lens. In lens focusing is certainly quieter although I never minded the sound of the lens focusing it can be poor in video usage.

Shadow Box Jesus Clock
This clock stand 8" high and 1 1/4" thick. It requires a 3 1/2" clock insert. The clock is made by sandwiching three pieces together. This gives the clock a shadow box effect. This is a very easy project to cut. You want to use two contrasting woods so the figure of Jesus stands out and is the focal point.
My email was down on and off for most of the day. If you are waiting for a reply to your email please be patient. I have gotten behind and I'm not sure if any email was lost during the outage. I'll try to get caught up Sunday.

You fell head-over-heels in love with Beauty Protector's Protect & Detangle styling spray when we first sampled it. Thanks to your rave reviews, Beauty Protector went ahead and developed this shampoo for an exclusive launch with Birchbox. The sulfate-free formula is powered by pearl powder, which is rich in conchiolin, an ingredient that acts like the hair protein keratin. This fortifying ingredient teams up with other nutrients that guard against and heal the effects of heat styling (think frizz and destroyed ends). The result is glossy, bouncy strands that, yes, also smell amazing.
I had received the leave-in conditioner in a previous box and loved it, so I was definitely excited to try their shampoo and conditioner. I loved that it is sulfate-free and vegan, as I try not to use too many chemicals in my hair to keep it looking healthy. This product works great, although it does take some getting use to the fact that it does not really later. Still my hair feels clean and looks shiny.5
I have a LOT of hair - Very thick and almost down to my elbows. I was impressed that I only needed about a nickel-sized dollop of this shampoo for enough lather to clean my scalp. However, this shampoo left my hair SQUEAKY clean, which I don't like, I try to stick with products that are more moisturizing. I don't have anything BAD to say about this shampoo - It just isn't for me.4

Living On-Campus
A home for students from across australia and around the globe
UON Student Living is the University of Newcastle's on-campus residential precinct at our Newcastle and Central Coast campuses, with a range of facilities and living environments to suit undergraduates, postgraduates, couples and students with special needs. Awarded the Asia Pacific Association for Student Housing award for Excellence in Student Experience, UON Student Living provides an unparalleled student living environment. UON Student Living are global leaders in student accommodation with our unique ResLife program, 24 hour support services, facilities, customer-support initiatives and preferential living options.
On-campus accommodation at the University of Newcastle offers so much more than just a room. Located just 20 minutes from the city's beaches and CBD, UON Student Living offers an experience unlike any other. Our diverse residential community provides opportunities to develop your skills and forge lifelong friendships with people from all around the world. And with all costs included and the convenience of living so close to class, experiencing the distinctive world of on-campus living is more affordable than you think.
Experience all that Uni has to offer
Our residents are supported by a team of professional staff who work with the Residential Leadership Team to provide an integrated ResLife program that offers strong academic and social support and a wide variety of fun activities to cater for all tastes. Our student-focused facilities include study areas, common rooms and indoor and outdoor social spaces. Twenty-four hour security and on-call resident support provides peace of mind for those coming to live on campus, as well as for their loved ones at home.

Each residence offers a choice of accommodation options, with the option of private or shared rooms and private or shared facilities to suit our student community. We also offer a variety of living arrangements to suit students seeking the ease of fully catered meal options or the flexibility of semi-catered living, through to self-catered options for students seeking more independence.
I lived in a share house for the first 3 months of uni, which was great and the people I lived with were really friendly. But, I soon found it wasn't quite the uni experience I had been looking for. I had some mates from Orange living on-campus, and eventually I was lucky enough to meet my current roommate, and he asked if I wanted to move in and the decision was made. It's been great living so close to the uni, close to the shops as well, and there's always something going on so I'm never bored.

Rock and roll kills rockers dead
That was the subject line on an email I got this morning from my partner Patrick, who sent me the link to this compassionate, Christlike site.
Jesus has a special hate-place for leukemia and MS victims.
« Makorokoto! | Nabokov on MySpace »
That was the subject line on an email I got this morning from my partner Patrick, who sent me the link to this compassionate, Christlike site.
Jesus has a special hate-place for leukemia and MS victims.
I refute thee in two words: Keith Richards.
What about Elton Buttfuckin' John? That guy in the Who with the hair? David Bowie? David Crosby?
The table also neglects to list the biggest live fast, die young rock star death of them all: Jesus.
For being a Rock and Roll hating website, they list musicians I've never even heard of (and I spend my day filling my brain with useless pop-culture tivia).
I am glad to see that GG Allin made the list, although it would have been much better if he had gone the way he intended, a suicide on stage. "Bite it, You Scum," indeed.
That list is plagiarized from Greil Marcus. I think it can be found in Ranters and Crowd Pleasers. Isn't stealing a sin?
Trouble with these hate filled Bible thumping folks is that they forget that the Bible goes both way...
"There were some who pleased God and were loved by Him, and while living among sinners were taken up. They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding, or guile deceive their souls" Wisdom of Solomon
I, for one, prefer my verse with it message of love, then that website's message of hate.
And for you unchurched, sorry for making you look at two Bible verses today (even though I am responsible for only one of them). Please forgive me.
I like where you can accept or reject jesus at the bottom. Reject him twice and learn about hell!
Poor Karen Carpenter is always forgotten from these lists..
OMG! Karen is there..!
Hell isn't good, Hell isn't good--it's Hell.
WTF--Nat King Cole qualifies as a "rocker"?

Watercolor woman by cnigrelli185Watch
©2012-2016 cnigrelli185
A watercolor of a woman in profile. I re-uploaded this since I scanned it.
looks very neat, I like it! Great job!
I love your style of water colors.
Very cool. I love the abstract hair, great color balance
Such depth in the eyes, i love it!
love the expression. very powerful eyes. great piece
so cool! i like the concept!
Very interesting work!
It's nice I think soon enough you'll become great artist
Oh very cool! I like the hair!
amazing work, really impressive ♥
i love the expression she has on her face nicely colored too!
Love the drops and lines, beautiful eyes too! ^_^
awesome! i really like the smooth texture and the sorta conceptual vibe that the hair colors give it
Great work! Very energetic.
This is just so wonderful. I love the colours
I LOVE this! The use of watercolour is fantastic!
Very nice. It's a fine use of watercolor, which I love.
The colour of blue in her eyes matches greatly with the colour in her hair. Love the loose hairstyle. Beautiful.
She's really beautiful
So cool!!!~
I love it
Wow! This is so beautiful!
This reminds me of Emilie Autumn
What I like about this is how perception can affect the context of the painting. If you were to remove the face and have just the hair, you wouldn't necessarily think that what you are looking at could be human hair in a portrait. However, the beautiful face that you have drawn here meshes wonderfully with the hair, to the extent that we could hardly think of it as anything else.
Awesome! I love the colors
Nicely done!!!
I love the concept !
it's so pretty!!! :33
looks like one pic I used to make the collage for my French books xD

5 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
After I got this cage in the mail, setup only took about five minutes. It's not very sturdy, and not very good for parakeets. Most birds like to stay at the highest point, and the highest point of this cage is a tiny little area. So, after only having it a day, I went to my local petstore and paid only 30 dollars more than I did on this cage and got something enormous, attractive, and my birds love it. This cage I donated to a school..
The owner of the pet store delivered my new cage to my house and when he saw the pagoda cage he said it was ridiculously overpriced.
I definitely don't recommend this cage to anyone with parakeets.
I bought this cage for my lovebird, and he loves it. It would be great for birds up to cockatiel size, I think. The cage is well built. The stand feels sturdy enough, but the wheels don't really work, and most of the time I just end up dragging the thing. If you don't move it much that won't be a problem. It comes with four perches and four food dishes with splash guards. Over all it's a good deal for the price, it's a very large cage and is as well built as any other cage I've owned.
Excellent value! Bird cage was exactly as advertised. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Yes, it really does. The cage was the perfect gift. I ordered black , the instructions were for black, the box said blue, and we got white. Other than that it was perfect.

text: 920 FXUS63 KFSD 200850 AFDFSD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 350 AM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Nose of subtle isentropic lift axis on the 315k sfc will gradually begin to produce showers and isolated thunderstorms just northeast of the CWA along the Minnesota River valley. Further southeast, seeing gradual buildup of low level stratus as moisture in the lowest levels remains elevated. Across the Nebraska Panhandle, a weak shortwave continues to lift northeast. Gradual downstream shower development seems likely through the central part of the state. For today: The big story will be the heat. The lesser story will be a low end risk for enhanced cloud cover and perhaps a few thunderstorms through mid-morning near the Missouri River. Depending on how the Minnesota develop grows, could see a weak backdoor outflow move into the eastern CWA, potentially tempering the heat buildup briefly this morning. The feature with perhaps the most influence could be the wave in western Nebraska. Have generally increased mid-lvl cloud cover in most areas through mid-day. Again, this likely won`t prevent the heat to build, but could lower highs a few degrees and slow the heating to some degree. At this point, do not plan on making any changes to current headlines given rather quick recovery potential today. Tonight: A disorganized wave of energy will continue to rotate through central Nebraska. Again, would expect an increase in both mid-lvl clouds and even stratus once again. However, will keep PoPs out of the forecast for now. Temperatures tonight will struggle to fall into the mid-70s. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 The heat and humidity continue into Thursday with southerly flow continuing across much of the area. Models suggest that a front will approach from the west, but timing and location of the front are quite uncertain. With the lack of upper level support this far south from the main wave, hard to discern how far it will go. For now, have sided close to consensus on timing and location. Ahead of the front, could see some moisture pooling east of the front, adding to concerns about the heat index. There could be a veil of mid-high clouds across the southern portions of the forecast area keeping temperatures down slightly. Regardless, have heat index values forecast well above 100 across much of the area and will continue the excessive heat warning. Models continue to produce sporadic precipitation throughout the Thursday into Friday time frame. It is hard to discern what is a real short wave and what is model generated, but the pattern is not supportive of precip. As such, have left the forecast dry on Thursday. Contemplated adding pops on Thursday night with orphaned boundary lingering around and low level jet developing across the plains. This sounds like a good set up in theory, but when one starts to look at the amount of convergence it is quite week with the core of the jet focused well to the south, and turning to the east as it approaches the boundary across the region. As such, have continued dry forecast on Thursday night. Friday looks to be another warm day across the area. May have some clouds across the eastern portions of the forecast area. With 925 hpa temps in the mid and upper 20s C, still will see temperatures in the 90s and lower triple digits. It is possible at this point that portions of southwest Minnesota do not reach extreme heat warning criteria, but is close enough at this time that I left the headline as is. Friday night, it appears that more robust ridge riders will move from southwest to northeast across the southeastern half of the forecast area. These disturbances knock the upper ridge back enough to warrant some chance pops at this point. A cold front associated with a short wave along the US/Canadian boarder approaches from the west on Saturday. Ahead of the front, atmosphere is unstable to warrant chance pops again. Drier and cooler conditions are expected on Sunday into Monday ahead of a more unsettled pattern Tuesday into Wednesday as a series of short waves move through under west-northwest flow. Have raised guidance pops slightly as a starting point. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1034 PM CDT Tue Jul 19 2016 VFR conditions should be the dominant category through Wednesday evening, however there are a couple of challenges. Due to the very humid air mass and small dew point depressions currently in place, certainly cannot rule out some fog development, especially east of Interstate 29 in southwest MN and parts of northwest IA late tonight and very early Wednesday. Due to a south to southeast breeze, it is anticipated that the fog will not become real widespread at this time. But another challenge is low stratus development. Already patchy stratus around 2500 feet has periodically developed here and there. Model soundings show that as the inversion lowers for the rest of tonight coupled with tight dew point depressions, it is plausible that low stratus in the LIFR category could develop in areas right around sunrise before mixing out by mid morning. This appears to be a threat especially at the KFSD and KSUX TAF sites, therefore hedged and included a scattered deck at 500 feet near sunrise as a heads up that this could happen. Otherwise from mid morning onward, conditions should be VFR Wednesday and Wednesday evening. Lastly, some models were suggesting some sporadic non convective low level wind shear tonight and also Wednesday evening. For now, left it out of the TAFs due to the surface winds being somewhat brisk. && .FSD Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...Excessive Heat Warning until 7 PM CDT Friday for SDZ038-050-052- 053-057>060-063>065-068-069.

Dr. Kamal Farid, the secretary of the majlis al-milli (lay council), said that the principle of forced deportation of citizens from their residence with their family, being forced to sell their property because of their religious identity without being at fault of guilty of any crime is a flagrant assault on the personal rights guaranteed by the Egyptian constitution, and establishes a dangerous precedent which might allow this to happen in other areas.

Read an Excerpt
Her Royal Husband
By Cara Colter
Harlequin Enterprises Ltd.
Chapter OneIt was the sound he had been waiting for.
The faint rasp of the key in the lock, the tumble of the bolt. Prince Owen Michael Penwyck felt his muscles coiling. He was tense, ready. He became aware he was holding his breath, and blew out slowly, forced himself to breathe.
The heavy wooden door creaked on its ancient hinges. Owen was wedged behind it. He remained focused on the shaft of light that penetrated the darkness of his cell as the door swung slowly open.
A long shadow, elongated, fell across the cold, stone floor. The shadow showed one man, his rifle slung over his shoulder, the sharp angle of his elbow indicating to Owen he carried something in front of him. All was as the young prince had hoped.
The shadow paused, and before he became aware of the broken, empty cot, to register danger, Owen launched himself from behind the door, and smashed into his captor. The man had been carrying a food tray, and some of the contents, steaming soup, a cup of coffee, flipped up onto him and he howled in surprised outrage. And then in pain as Owen pressed the advantage of surprise, and kneed him with all the considerable strength of legs hard-muscled from years of mountain climbing, horseback riding, and hiking.
Too much noise, he thought with regret, stepping over the man who had curled up in a fetal position on his cell floor. His captors, alerted by that initial yell, were approaching down thehallway. Owen could hear their footsteps, coming fast, echoing like thunder in the cavernous passage.
Though Owen now knew escape was not likely, not this time, there was fierce swelling within him. It felt like a fire in his breast, a warrior spirit rising. He felt a moment of sweet gratitude for youth and strength, and he unconsciously flexed the hard line of his biceps, filled the breadth of his wide chest with a cleansing breath of air. He took a harder hold on the iron leg he had spent the better part of a day persuading to part company with the cot in his cell.
Fearless, ready, calm, like the knights who had been his ancestors, he stepped out of the doorway. He blinked once, hard, as his eyes adjusted from the murky darkness of the cell to the sudden brightness of the passageway.
Three men were on him almost instantly, dressed in black, faces covered. Owen swung the straight iron bar off the bed, putting all the considerable power of his arm and shoulder into the swing. He felt the jar of connection, and a man toppled to the ground. The bar had glanced off that first man and struck another, and that second attacker backed off warily, swiping at the cut over his eyebrow. He looked at his blood-covered hand with angry, stunned disbelief.
But the third attacker had ducked under the melee of bar and bodies, and was behind Owen. A sinewy arm, appallingly strong, wrapped around the column of the young prince's neck. The second man saw opportunity and rushed forward again. Owen dropped the bed leg and pried ineffectively at the arm that was cutting off his air supply. He reared back, smashing the head of the man who had his arm around his neck with his own head. Though the force stunned him, he was caught in the flow of adrenaline and felt no pain. He heard the other man's grunt, and felt a marginal loosening of the hold on his neck. Owen reared back again, this time kicking forward at the same time. He felt his foot connect with the belly of the second attacker, heard the satisfying "oomph" of the air leaving the man. His neck was free.
His satisfaction was short-lived. A black wave of men appeared out of a connecting passageway and was flowing down the hallway toward him.
And the attacker behind him was a demon. He had a clawlike grip on his shoulder now, and was slamming a hard fist over and over into the soft flesh of Owen's cheek. Owen managed to twist, to finally see his opponent head-on.
He was dressed in black, like the others, but the cover had slipped from his face. Even as Owen let loose a punch, and felt the man's nose give under the force of it, he was trying to memorize the hawkish features. He now knew there was no possibility of winning this fight, let alone escaping. Still, some base instinct roared within him, demanded he do as much damage as possible before the inevitable loss.
Owen used the man's own shock against him. He shoved him to the floor, leapt on top of him, his knees bracketing the man's chest. He pulled his arm back, seeing red now, his fury unleashed. But before he could complete his swing, his arm was caught fast and painfully. The air went out of him as someone leapt on his back, shoving him down hard on top of his opponent.
The young prince fought with everything he had left, but there were too many, now, holding him down. One sat on his back, a hard hand on his neck. Both his arms were being held behind him, and hands held his legs. He was lifted enough for the man underneath him to slither out, and then he was slammed back into the cold rock floor.
"Okay," he said, and heard the calm contempt in his own voice, "uncle."
That earned him a hard swat on the back of his head, and he tasted his own blood on his lip. He heard the subtle rattle of metal before he realized what they were doing, and felt his first moment of panic. He fought desperately with his remaining strength, managed to send a man flying and to get his arm free temporarily. But they came back harder than before, and his head was slammed again into the rock floor, and his arm twisted up painfully behind his back. He felt the shackle close and then click shut with cold metallic finality, first around his right wrist and then, despite the wild fury of his struggle, the left one.
More weight settled on him as he tried to writhe away from the leg irons. Cruel hands held him as the iron bands were clamped, too tightly, around his ankles.
He registered, with impotent fury, his own helplessness, and then was jerked roughly to his feet.
He stood, swaying, captured but unsubdued, and then marshaling his remaining strength, he lunged forward. He allowed himself to feel brief satisfaction in the wary respect he saw as men leapt back from him. He noted, too, that for a single, solitary man, he had managed to cause an inordinate amount of damage. The men who faced him were bloody and bruised, their clothing torn and disheveled. His captors' chests were heaving from exertion.
Owen reminded himself he did not have the luxury to gloat. He had only one thing left and he needed to use it. His mind.
Carefully, he looked at the men, taking swift mental notes. They were dressed the same as they had been the night of his kidnapping, in identical black sweatpants, black turtlenecks, now pulled up over the lower part of their faces and black woolen caps. The effect was dramatic and sinister. He tried to get a sense of nationality from the eyes of the men, from their skin color, but he could not. He did get a sense of organization. This was not a motley crew who had decided to capture a prince for ransom.
This was a highly organized group, quasi-military. He took his eyes from the men. He had been blindfolded when he arrived, and now he looked carefully at the passageway. It looked remarkably like a medieval dungeon, dark and dank. Still, the stones that formed the formidable walls caught his attention. They had a faint pink tinge. His gaze traveled up them. High up the wall was one small opening, barred, no glass. Owen was certain he could smell the sea.
That color of rock was famous on the island of Majorco, an island about to sign a groundbreaking military alliance with Penwyck.

Unless it is properly drained, the phreatic (or groundwater) surface can extend all the way through a dam and seep out the bottom of the downstream slope, or toe. Since the earth below this surface is saturated under hydraulic pressure, any structural weakness could cause a leak. A breach failure could quickly follow. The author explains how a tensiometer/piezometer sensor set installed in a dam, could provide signatures for failure events from some future catalog of engineered dam failures.
