8 Foods You Should Never Give your Cat
Cats are natural carnivores. You would think that giving them raw meat such as raw fish and raw beef will satisfy their wild nature. However studies show that, like other pets, there are simply some foods that they should not be fed with. While some of these foods may cause only minor discomforts such as gastric upsets, some are serious enough to warrant meticulous veterinary care in a clinic facility, lest death is allowed to occur.
Here are just some of the food items that every responsible cat owner should know about. Knowledge of these foods to avoid giving their cats should form the basis for healthier cat feeding practices.
Forget what cartoon TV shows tell you, tuna can be especially dangerous to your cat, especially when given as primary food. It is not necessarily fatal, though. However, tuna has been shown to be particularly addicting to cats. When consumed in large quantities, this can lead to mercury poisoning in cats. Additionally, giving your cat tuna in oil can result in steatitis. This health condition is more commonly known as the yellow fat disease.
Garlic, Chives, and Onions
These herbs are known to be especially dangerous to cats because of the damage they cause to the red blood cells. This is especially true for onions. Consumption of onions in cats can lead to Heinz body anemia. Garlic and chives are often associated with gastric upset although garlic can also damage the red blood cells. Nonetheless, it is always best to stay on the safer side of things.
The methylxanthine theobromine that is contained in chocolates is especially lethal to cats. Chocolates have been shown to induce heart attack often preceded by excessive vomiting and diarrhea that can lead to electrolyte abnormalities. This leads to cardiac arrhythmias that can progress to death.
The main effects of alcoholic beverages on the cat are almost synonymous to its effects on humans. However, they only need a fraction of the amount to elicit a potentially fatal reaction. A couple of teaspoons of your favorite whiskey can literally send a 5-pound feline into coma. Greater amounts can literally bring the cat to her grave.
Grapes and Raisins
While these food items can be viewed as great treats for training pets, they are not recommended especially for cats. While scientists are still determining the exact cause of the liver and kidney failures that are seen in cats that consume sufficiently large quantities of either raisins or grapes, it is always better to be safe.
Caffeinated Beverages
Coffee and cola drinks that contain caffeine should never be given to cats. Caffeine, like theobromine, can induce cardiac arrest in cats. This is often preceded by restlessness, fast breathing, muscle tremors, and heart palpitations as well as seizures.
Raw Eggs
Never ever give your cat raw eggs. The whites in raw egg contain avidin. This enzyme decreases the ability of the cat's intestines to absorb biotin. Additionally, raw eggs can contain Salmonella leading to food poisoning or Salmonellosis.
Raw Fish
There is an enzyme in raw fish that acts to destroy the cat's stored thiamine. This enzyme, called thiaminase, can significantly lead to severe thiamine deficiency which then results to seizures and ultimately, death.
Cats are natural predators. While you may not give them any of these foods, leaving them very accessible on top of your counter or table is an open invitation to your cat. While avoiding to give these foods to your cat is necessary, it is equally important to safeguard them from your cat's reach.In fact the foods that you feed your cat can actually trigger bad or good behavior. Spicy and junk food have been attributed to bad cat behavior such as spraying and destruction of personal property. According to the experts at www.odorklenz.com cat urine can be very corrisve and quickly destroy areas in your home. Stay tune for our Febuary 2016 blog where we will discuss how to get rid of cat urine smell naturally and alos how to effectivel trick your cat into wanting to use thier litter box

Jesse Dylan isn't the first director to make the jump from music videos to feature films, but he's certainly one of the most creative and successful. He is also a prolific director at the forefront of the commercial production field. Combine these talents with his career as a photographer, and you have a portrait of an artist fluent in both the message and the medium. Jesse began his career directing music videos for a diverse collection of groundbreaking artists that include Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, and Lenny Kravitz. His most recent work includes music videos for Nelly Furtado and The Eels. Working with the Black Eyed Peas on an Internet project for Snickers, Jesse forged a bond with will.i.am, who recently sought his services again to collaborate on a project for Barack Obama. The result, a song/video/speech, the Yes We Can Song, which started out virally online and has been seen by tens of millions of viewers since its debut in February 2008. In addition, it has most recently won an Emmy Award. For more information please visit http://www.apbspeakers.com.

State v. Carter
The three year limitation for the filing of a petition for a writ of error coram nobis has been the law in Connecticut for more than 130 years. In connection with a drug turf shooting during which a seven year old girl was struck by a stray bullet, Anthony Carter was convicted, following a jury trial, of various crimes including assault in the first degree. He filed a direct appeal and numerous collateral attacks on his judgment of conviction. On Dec. 1, 2011, he filed a pro se petition for a writ of error coram nobis, requesting that the court correct errors of fact regarding a motion in limine "heard on May 2, 2002, which if known at the time judgment was rendered, would have prevented its rendition." The court, Alexander, J., denied the petition noting that it was filed after the three year limitation period. The court denied Carter's motion for reconsideration. The next day, Carter filed a second petition for a writ of error coram nobis requesting that the court correct errors of fact regarding his motion for a judgment of acquittal after verdict heard on Aug. 2, 2002. Judge Alexander denied the second petition on Jan. 5, 2012. Carter's separate appeals from the denial of his petitions were consolidated. Carter claimed that the court erred by denying his petitions absent a written objection from the respondent state and by applying a three year limitation period. The Appellate Court concluded that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the petitions and should have rendered judgments dismissing them. The judgments were reversed for form and the cases remanded with direction to render judgments of dismissal. The three year limitation period for filing a petition for a writ of error coram nobis is jurisdictional. A court may raise an issue of subject matter jurisdiction sua sponte at any time because it implicates the court's authority to act. Carter's petitions disclosed on their face that they were not filed within three years of his conviction, which is all that was needed to bring the jurisdictional matter to the court's attention. The petitioner did not identify any statute or rule of practice requiring the court to hold a hearing before acting on an untimely petition.VIEW FULL CASE

Welcome to the Swiss Federation of Clinical Neuro-Societies
Dear colleagues
The idea of creating a federation originated on the 30.08.2006 at the "Bahnhof-Buffet" Zurich where Prof. Bassetti, Prof. Hess, Prof. Hildebrandt and Prof. Valavanis came together. After hours of discussion and bringing together different prospects the concept of the SFCNS was born.
Three years thereafter in 2009 the Swiss Federation of Clinical Neuro-Societies (SFCNS) was officially founded. Starting with six members, today already 14 societies are members of the SFCNS and help to strengthen the clinical neurosciences in Switzerland.
The mission of the SFCNS is to promote collaborations and interactions between clinical neuro-societies in Switzerland in order to enhance interdisciplinary knowledge and overall impact of our disciplines at medical, scientific, public and political level.
In 2010, the very successful 1st meeting of the SFCNS took place in Basel with the main topics stroke, epilepsy and disorders of the spine & spinal cord. After Basel the SFCNS board has been very active at different levels.
First, discussions were searched for and entertained with potentially interested societies. This lead to a growth of our Federation from the six founding societies (Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroradiology, Neuropediatrics, Neuropathology and Clinical Neurophysiology) to the current 13 members.
Second, the Federation received the mandate from the Swiss Conference of the Cantonal ministers of Public Health (GDK) respectively from its Decision Board IV-HSM (Highly Specialized Medical Services) to define criteria and procedures to certify in Switzerland stroke centres and stroke units, centres for the treatment of epilepsy, and centres for the treatment with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of movement disorders. Three committees started their work in early summer 2012. We are optimistic that more mandates may be trusted to the SFCNS in the near future.
Third, the SFCNS was involved in co-organizing teaching and scientific events with different member societies at national as well as local level. From June 5-7, the 2nd SFCNS Congress took place in Montreux. The main topics were functional restoration, neurooncology, neurocritical care, depression, dementia and chronic pain. Each member society was given the possibility of being involved in the organizing of topics that are tailored to their specific area of interest and expertise.
To give a short outlook, I would like to announce, that the 3rd SFCNS Congress will be held in Basel in 2016, september 28-30, together with the Swiss Society for Neuroscience (SSN) and other societies.
I'm looking forward to the 3rd SFCNS Congress and all the challenges, the SFCNS will face in the future.
Prof. Dr. med. Anton Valavanis
President 2013 2016

TripAdvisor Reviews Pondok Keladi Guest House Langkawi
Travel Blogs from Langkawi
Beautiful Langkawi-cut short due to the floods
We did not make the last ferry to Langkawi but had to stay the night at a hotel in Satun, which is just about 10 km from the ferry terminal – still in Thailand close to the border to Malaysia. We made sure to make the first ferry over to Langkawi the next morning, and with a 1-hour time difference in Malaysia, we made it to the island shortly …
966km in 10 days
... one August falls in... Nevertheless, the beautiful Cameron Highlands consists of dense jungle with God knows what lurking behind the foliage, tea plantations and strawberry farms (no surprises that the local speciality is tea and scones with homemade strawberry jam). We thought that the best way to see the area would be to join a tour. We went to the plantations, did a jungle walk and visited a strawberry farm, where a farmer hijacked my camera and took hilarious photos of us ...
Sailfish Chaos!
... and within an hour we again had two functioning engines. There did not appear to be any adverse effects to the engine, but out of an abundance of caution we elected to continue on one engine for the time being hoping the winds would pick up so we could sail. Our plan was for me to go to bed early and Ginette would helm until about midnight and then I would take over from then until early AM when I would hand over again. We expected to be in Langkawi at around 11 AM. So after dinner ...
Mighty Nature- Borneo / tropikalne lasy Borneo
... kasjerka wrzaskiem oznajmiła że odniosła zwycięstwo w walce z technologią i udało się jej ów zasięg złapać... Sam park jest niesamowity- bogactwo kolorów, widoków rodem z pocztówki, setki różnych insektów, ptaków, gadów itp. Każdego dnia przyroda nas zaskakiwała pokazując rośliny i zwierzęta, których nie widzieliśmy nigdy wcześniej. Park ...
Lazing around in Langkawi
... we still enjoyed our lazy walks with our juices and chatting to the local Malay beach bums chilling on the beach playing music.
We finally decided to hire a scooter on the third day and would keep it until we left. We hired it from a backstreet local man who called himself 'Smiler'. Unlike the 'Chief', Smiler did live up to his name and was always waving and smiling at us whenever we drove past!

Skip to comments.If BHO is reelected, Time for Texas to Secede (Vanity)
Posted on 07/07/2012 10:55:47 AM PDT by no dems
click here to read article
Actually, it was replaced by the 1876 Constitution because the earlier constitution was implemented when Texas swore allegiance to the Confederacy—basically, it was a "Confederate Constitution," enacted when Texas joined the Confederacy. When the Confederacy lost then Texas needed a new constitution to re-join the Union.
Immediately after the Civil War, a new constitution was imposed on Texas when the post-war state military commander intervened at the state constitutional convention to force Gov E.J. Davis, democrat, to reject slavery and accept Republican demands for emancipation.
For most white, ex-confederate Texans, the new constitution represented defeat and humiliation, was regarded as imposed by outside forces, i.e., Radical Republicans. (Radical in the sense they wanted immediate emancipation, not a gradual implementation).
When Democrats gained control of state government in 1872 and 1873, their first priority became to draft a new constitution.
By the fall of 1875, 90 Texans gathered in Austin to finalize a new constitution for the state.
The largest group of delegates at the convention were known as the Grange, an organization of farmers, committed to a slogan of retrenchment and reform for state government.
The new constitution favored a restrictive constitution of great length; they returned to the tradition of Jacksonian democracy, reinstating the long ballot and shortening the terms of office for elected officials.
Ref. you map in your Post #92: I'm glad to see that many of the battleground States in the 2012 Election don't have that many "immigrants". Obama's latest "Amnesty" dictate, via Executive Order, so he can get the Mexican vote, won't help him much in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. Not that many Mexicans there. In Florida, the Cuban vote will offset the Mexican vote. In Texas, the Conservative vote will offset the Mexican vote; same goes for Arizona. California is a lost cause anyhow, let California vote for whomever they want. And in Nevada, the Mexican vote will be offset by the Mormon vote; same goes for Colorado and Utah. So, Obama's Amnesty won't help him much on November 6th.
Lol, I fly a flag to let people know where I'm living at the moment. There is no Navajo Nation flag, so Arizona it was. After spending the afternoon on this thread, I'm changing it back, just because.
But, just think how much fun it would be to try Saxxon.
To put it another way. I live in Texas, because I love Texas. I love my little corner of Texas in particular. But whereas nationality is like marriage, state citizenship is like having a mistress.
America is my country. If I were ever to leave America, I'd have to get a divorce before I could remarry, and I'll go to jail if I have two wives at once.
Texas is home to me, and I do believe it will be my home forever. However, it's purely voluntary. No divorce is required if I ever decide that Louisiana is sexier. And, there is no law that says I can't have two mistresses.

You can put a sentence on your home page telling people where you temporarily reside. Your flag should be the Lone Star.
I'm glad you changed it. Otherwise, I'd to have to harass you ... relentlessly. ;p
While you are using analogies, did you fail to mention that you and rest of us paying tax payers are bitches of the US Tax code?
Will secession happen? Probably not in the next 25 years, but I for one am sick and tired of this socialist state where the entitlement crowd is firmly entrenched on left hind teat of the tax payer. A conservative country based on God fearing folks who work hard appeals to me. Back in the old days, if you didn't work, you didn't eat. And those who were disabled relyed on their loving families to take care of them. Not the GD US Federal government.
Texas could ratify treaties closely aligning itself to United States in defense, much as we do with Canada. As far as watching corporations leave..... Watch what happens when we drop the corporate tax rate by half. They'll be flocking here.
Believe me, Texans have enough resident firepower to "deport-in-place" any objectionable wetbacks foolish enough to play "Santa Ana" again.
Read what again? Did you not state "Wyoming barely outproduces tiny Vermont"? I can't find anywhere "I clearly said that Wyoming out produced Vermont".
I am not about to blow my time looking up Wyoming statistics, but I know its the biggest producer of coal and a significant producer of oil and gas, $12Bil? Maybe like our other FRiend, you misplaced a zero or 2.
I don't think the marriage analogy works.
Re: the poligamy aspect - Our law permits you to have dual citizenship (in the U.S. and another country.) No divorce required.
Re: the mistress aspect - Our law says you're a citizen of the state wherein you reside and that you can have only one primary residence.
I live in San Antonio. Have for over 46 years. And I do not brag. My mama raised me better than that. And my grandmother would have made me cut my own switch.
You can fly any flag you want.
When was the last time the Mexican military won a battle?
They will never defeat the drug cartels.
Mexican "government" (loosely used term) is so thoroughly corrupt they have ruined all hope of their culture flourishing.
Let me remind you that there are 2+ civilian firearms per man, woman and child in Texas. And the largest US military base plus several Air Force Bases in Texas. And the bomb factory.
Forget Mexico militarily.
Wyoming's GDP is $38b. Sorry to disillusion you, but that is it. Which is indeed $12b more than Vermont.
Really; then I guess somethin like the following is exactly one of the not-benefits of State Citizenship that you don't get/lose upon moving:
NM Constitution, Art XXI, Section 1. [Religious toleration; polygamy.]
Perfect toleration of religious sentiment shall be secured, and no inhabitant of this state shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship. Polygamous or plural marriages and polygamous cohabitation are forever prohibited.
That's about as close to outlawing having mistresses as you can get without allowing some truly creepy big-brother statism.
Yep, he said Texas. ;^)
"Texas could ratify treaties closely aligning itself to United States in defense, much as we do with Canada. "
Lol, in reality it would be like the War of 1860 ;) when Texas tried to secede. "Closely aligning"... sure!
If Texas went out—other states would join them. This would happen only if the President disregarded the US Constitution. Then Texas and others could form a new nation—The Constitutional States of America-—using the old USA Constitution around the Government. This would mean Civil War—if Texas seized nuclear arms and threaten to destroy New York or Washington-—It may end as soon as it starts. In any case—the USA would cease to exist.
I don't mean to stoke the fires, but just think of our elected "leaders," and where they went for college.
I had to cut my own switch too. Oleander!
Not unless you also choose to renounce your US citizenship.
The farther we keep going down this road the more your stories and details change. First they were in the dumpster barely equal to VT, then far ahead of VT, now is 38 not 12, what next? The place really ain't Wyoming?????
But you know the feds lie about everything.
The most dependent area in the United States is Washington DC. Those weakling fascist freaks couldn't take a leak unless someone was holding the pot to piss in. They're all fat slobs living off the taxpayer teat. Cut off the support and they all die.
That's exactly what my friend said when I pointed out that the high numbers of blacks in prison is accounted for not by racism but by their high rate of committing crimes. He claimed the FBI statistics on who the perps were was corrupted, despite it having been gathered from victims. He refused to accept the data because it disagreed with what he believed, instead of changing his belief to fit new facts.
To my mind this is profoundly unconservative. We're the ones who base our system of belief on facts, not on wishful thinking. What the world is like, not what the world SHOULD be like. When new facts show our beliefs to be incorrect, we change our beliefs. Or at least to my mind we should.
Why are conservative states much more likely to be "takers" and liberal states more likely to be "givers?" Don't know, though I suspect there are a lot of reasons that could be laid out.
But unless you can come up with a convincing reason why the data is corrupted, I think it is inappropriate to claim it is false simply because you don't like the conclusion.
The one modern convenience I really would not want to live without.
I'd have to find me a cold creek and lay in it all day long, and maybe at night too...
I was being more or less facetious in my post #226 when I said "But you know the feds lie about everything".
But I will say this, the days of blindly accepting anything the federal government says at face value are looong gone for me.
In fact, the first things I think of when I read a statement from the federal government is "What are they covering up or spinning?" and "Who benefits from this?"
If there are no unbiased facts to back up a statement or document released by the federal government there is no reason to accept it as valid. The government does not automatically get the benefit of doubt for the simple reason they have done nothing to deserve our trust.
How? What can the Feds DO? Send in the military? Lot's of Texans in the military, not to mention other service members that are not happy with the current chain of command. Texas is also fairly well armed state.
There is NOTHING the feds could do. NOTHING.
If that happens, I would hope that our military honors their oath to defend the Constitution. We have almost come to that point.
But i think that you as a mixed race man fail to realize your perspective is just as indicative and perhaps prejudicial as that of a white southern man like myself is purported to be
We all opine as much via what we are as what we believe
Well, if ya gotta die on vacation, try to get yourself up to Montana.
Hell, you'll probably figure you're already in heaven just by showing up!
I know you don't. Believe it or not, I think you're one of our best and brightest here on FR.
But i think that you as a mixed race man fail to realize your perspective is just as indicative and perhaps prejudicial as that of a white southern man like myself is purported to be
I think about that. More in that I'm Irish, Scottish, Mexican, and yes, black. Less, in that I've never known a relative who wasn't white, that is to say had any ties outside of white American culture. I'm mixed only insofar as the one drop rule counts. Yet, the stigma is enough that in moments of cowardice on my part, I've lied about it many times. Honestly, I don't even know if I'd reveal the fact that my father took the secret that he was an octaroon (to invoke an ugly word) to his grave, if I weren't the anonymous Melas here. Yet, being nothing but white culturally, I have to question what's wrong with that culture that could compel such secrets. You may disagree, but I find something very unhealthy in that.
Cold is my kryptonite. I couldn't handle Montana for long. Maybe Hawaii.
You are welcome.
And you are wrong. This is an old myth. Get over it. The War Between the States settled that issue with the new Texas Constitution.
But it is not groundless insofar as how they vote or think or behave in general.
Not one metro area of population of over 1 million in the US that I can think of is majority GOP or conservative anymore and yes I realize those are two different things.
Even Salt Lake went for Obama by a small margin.
Dallas ...where I think you reside...was in my day as a lad there considered a socially conservative city that went like most of the South from Dixiecrat to GOP in early 70s and had a string of conservative mayors and even a staunch conservative paper then in the Dallas Morning News.
Now that is over all gone with the sands of the Hispanic demographic surge from the south and those who have stayed.
Same for Houston and believe it or not...former conservative city of San Antonio...that close to the border but stayed afloat ideologically...just like San Diego did too once and Orange county.
This is why folks like myself generalize about how folks behave and how that translates for us all.
It's polite to note the exceptions which in Texas is about 1/3rd of Latinos and a handful of blacks.
But I don't base my views on exceptions even if I note them. It's like running a business, if you plan based on exceptions you go broke.
If folks run campaigns or govern like that they will lose elections or power in short order.
i wish race or ethnicity or religion did not matter and folks would just do the right thing that is moral, compassionate and what works best in the context of human nature and we did for a long time with plenty of hiccups
but we have been inundated with peoples who have a whole different mindset and we can see what that has done to our electorate
i know folks eschew the notion that becoming a non white country is an issue but just based on voting alone it most certainly is
everywhere where the white population has shrunk has gone downhill electorally for the GOP and fiscally as an entity
not to mention the social ramifications and that all troubles me for our future
a future likely rather short for me in context at 54 but I have a lot of children
Of course, Rhode Island and Massachusetts do very little to inspire a sense of pride in your state.
I wouldn't expect a non-Texan to understand. (I don't mean that disrespectfully.)
As an American are you proud of your heritage? Can you imagine not being an American? Would you give up your American citizenship easily? Is it important to you that your children/grandchildren are born on American soil?
If you can understand that, it's the same for Texans. We're proud to be Americans, of course. But being Texan is as important.
I think New Yorkers, Alaskans, and Hawaiians have similar fierce pride.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Salt cedar switches here....also...ouch!!!!
Do we need to reconsider this idea?

Haunter Offers TV-Grade Ghouls and Chintzy CG Fog
I imagine by now the seasoned horror fan ought to feel wary of novel variations on well-established formulae—the fresh intrigue generated by such gimmickry rarely justifies the betrayal of tradition it entails.
Genre is by design inexhaustible, and genre films—particularly horror films, among the most rigidly codified since the western—offer pleasures commensurate with their fidelity to the template. And who wouldn't prefer predictable to poor? Well, Vincenzo Natali, it seems, who with Haunter conspires to tell a ghost story from the perspective of the ghost.
The trouble? Between Insidious, The Conjuring, and Sinister, each of which has enjoyed some critical and commercial success, we have come upon a revival of the classical haunted house picture, a long-dormant horror tradition on the verge of a new golden age, and that timing has the unfortunate consequence of casting Haunter's faults in relief. Its high-concept premise—an angsty murdered teenager (Abigail Breslin) struggles from the afterlife to warn her killer's next victim—has an elegance roughly on par with a Goosebumps novel, refusing to follow its own contradictory rules and barely sustaining a pretense of internal logic. Fear, meanwhile, is relegated to a handful of lazy jump-scares integrated without regard for tone or rhythm.
The filmmakers likewise botch aesthetic considerations: Jon Joffin's musty, amber-hued digital cinematography looks embarrassingly amateur compared to Chris Norr's superb low-budget work on Sinister. In 1997, Natali fashioned an original, accomplished science-fiction picture called Cube out of a single set and a few hundred thousand dollars. Sixteen years later, a much higher budget at his disposal, he can muster only TV-grade ghouls and chintzy CG fog.

Manning Just Wanted To Be Paid Less Than Tom Brady
According to ESPN, when?Peyton Manning?became a free agent after being released from the?Indianapolis Colts?in 2012, he had one request for his agent while finding a new team: He did not want to be paid more than?Tom Brady.
Manning's agent, Tom Condon,?talked about Manning's free agency in an interview with MMQB.com.
Condon said that a dozen teams were interested in Manning and he thought he would be able to secure a deal of around $25 million per season for the future Hall of Fame quarterback. According to MMQB,?When Manning made the decision to sign with the Broncos, he asked Condon:?"What does Tom Brady make?"
"$18 million a year," Condon replied. Manning then answered,?"then I don't want to make a penny more than that."
We know that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are longtime rivals but together, they?combine for over $33.3 million in average salary.
Manning's agent claims that Manning was pretty upset with him when he found out the Broncos' offer was for $19.4 annually. He again had to remind his agent that he didn't want to make more than Brady.
Condon ultimately apologized for making such a "preposterous" deal and called Manning's wife to help persuade Manning to take the deal.

On Saturday, April 29 at 1:00 P.M. at the Dennos Museum Center in Traverse City, Michigan, a guided tour of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians' Natural Resources Office and the Arthur Duhamel Marina will commence. Tour guides will interpret the activities, mission, and research projects associated with the Natural Resources Office. In addition, the tour will include a visit to the Arthur Duhamel Marina where tribal fishers will exhibit their fishing boats. Native American Tradition in a Modern World focuses on the tribal fishers' views and beliefs regarding the management and conservation of Lake Michigan fisheries. This program has been organized by the Great Lakes Center for Maritime Studies at Western Michigan University in conjunction with its "Fish for All" exhibition, which is currently located at the Dennos Museum Center.
Following a 1979 U.S. District Court decision recognizing tribal treaty fishing rights, the Bay Mills Indian Community, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians created their own fisheries regulatory policy. The three tribes and the Little River Band of Ottawa have joined together to create the Chippewa Ottawa Treaty Fishery Management Authority (COTFMA). Under a 1985 U.S. District Court Consent Order, COTFMA shares responsibility for fisheries management with state and federal fisheries officials. The tribes and COTFMA support fisheries research and education. Fishing is integral to tribal culture both today and in the past.
The Dennos Museum Center is located on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Admission to the program is $5.00. For more information, please contact the Dennos Museum at 231-922-1055.

A decision earlier this month by Major League Baseball to impose a dress code on reporters who cover the sport provoked a number of reactions.
Moral outrage: How dare they create "dress guidelines" that obviously target mostly the women who work the boys' world of clubhouses? (Tank tops, sheer shirts, and skirts/shorts of a certain length are now banned.)
Passionate approval: It's about time someone sent a message to the harlots who show up in anything but Mom Jeans or blocky, boy-like polo shirts while mingling with mustard-splotched baseball fans and chaw-spewing athletes in jockstraps.
Confusion: If tank tops and shorts are out because they're too suggestive, are plucked eyebrows next? Lipstick? Gym workouts that keep you svelte? Should attractive women on the baseball beat chomp back Munchos and pack on a pair of clubhouse-friendly love handles - you know, just for insurance?

Just like staying at home. The staff members make you at home.It is not the biggest Hilton hotel you have seen. But everything is there plus excellent services from the staff. Room was clean and the bed is comfortable. I really liked the secured underground garage as well which you can access with your room keycard.Rating:5
Great Place to StayWent to Yakima for a SkillsUSA conf. The hotel was within walking distance to everything I needed or wanted to see in Yakima. Hotel was clean and comfortable.Rating:4
The bed is super comfort!The best bed Ive ever sleeped in.Rating:4
Will stay there again.The hotel was nice, clean and convenient. Pros: - Plasma TV. - Wireless internet, complimentary. - Brunch in dining area; attentive wait staff. - Close to nice restaurants. - Farmers Market on Sunday mornings. - Ummelinas Day Spa is adjacent to hotel. Cons: - Fitness area is small. Only 5-6 machines. - Pool is too small for any lap swimming.
Travelers tip on local attractionsUmmelinas day spa next to the hotel was an unexpected surprise. I frequent their Seattle location often. Gasperettis Italian restaurant is great, lively. Greystone Restaurant was nice, but quiet and higher priced. I had filet mignon in both places and they were very good. We also found the Sunday Farmers Market two blocks from the hotel- it runs May thru Nov. We found some fresh fruit and pastries for breakfast.Rating:5
Hilton YakimaGreat hotel. Very nice. Confusing about the breakfast/brunch. It appeared to be included, but there is really a $10.95 fee per person.
Travelers tip on recreational activitiesZillah had some great wineries. Check out Hilton Winery!Rating:4

Nice hotel.Nice hotel.Rating:5
Great hotelThe room was very nice and quiet, even though there were many families in the hotel, we never heard a sound a night. It is "downtown" which is great because its close to things, but bad because we heard a few sirens and trains in the distance. The restaurant served excellent food and had excellent service. The pool and exercise room were well maintained. There was also garage parking which seemed very secure.Rating:5
Great hotel and location in YakimaExcellent stay - clean hotel room, exercise room, and pool area.Rating:4
Best Hotel aroundI travel to Yakima for business a lot. I have stayed in numerous hotels around the area. The Hilton is the best by far. Plenty of parking, walking distance to great food, clean, and in great condition. Highly recommended.Rating:5
Id stay here againCentrally located within walking distance to places to dine. All aspects met or exceeded expectations.Rating:5
Convenient and pleasantWe went to Yakima for a wedding, and just needed a convenient place to stay overnight, nothing fancy. This hotel was very reasonable and had everything we needed. The staff was delightful (and offered fresh baked cookies!). Our room was quite spacious, very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The hotel location is walkable to many restaurants and downtown, but also very convenient to the highway entrance. No complaints about this hotel -- it was exactly what we needed!

I love CZJ for how graceful she seems to be under pressure — it can't be easy having to announce that you're in treatment again for your bipolar disorder, and on top of that, revealing your separation from your husband. Maybe behind closed doors she's having a terrible time, but the effort it must take to put on a happy face and meet work obligations is, I'm sure, considerable, so good on her.
I just… I keep looking at this dress and thinking she's just come from a quick bout of murder. Very FLOWERY, artistic murder, but murder nonetheless.
[Photo: Fame/Flynet]
I mean. I love her, but….
I just feel like she's better than this. It's not TERRIBLE, but it is a little bit Velma Kelly for K-Mart. Perhaps she had it coming.
[Photo: Getty]
Things that go without saying: she's gorgeous and I love her, and I want her and Michael Douglas to stay married forever and also, perhaps, I wish she had live-tweeted her reactions to Behind the Candelabra, because I suspect it was entertaining.
As for her ensemble:
She doesn't look BAD in it — does she ever really look THAT BAD? Okay, THIS was terrible, but I mean, like, in general. But she also kind of looks like she's wearing a bodyshaper with a tablecloth stapled to it. So that's….probably not ideal?
[Photo: Getty]
[Photos: Getty]
For a moment I didn't reognize this lady.
Is that crazy of me? Because now, I'm like, "Oh, right, of course, it's Catherine Zeta-Jones," but it took me far longer than it should considering that looking at photos of people like her is basically my job. I don't even know who I thought it was — part of it is that I forgot CZJ was even in Rock of Ages, so I had to solve that riddle as well, and between this and all the episodes of Countdown I am YouTubeing so I can play along, I just don't have TIME for any more PUZZLES, people.
But, the clothes: Am I wrong to wish she and Julianne Hough (which, whoops, you'll see in a bit) had switched outfits? That neon yellow would look astonishing on her, I suspect, but mostly I just want to cut this refried figure-skating outfit off of her before she breaks a leg attempting a heavily coerced triple axle. Plus, if you put it on Hough, somebody might look at her and decide it's time for an Ice Castles remake starring her and, say, Keegan Allen from Pretty Little Liars (he's got an apt Young Robby Benson thing going, kind of, right?), and I think the world would benefit heavily from THAT. We need more figure-skating movies. The last one we had was Ice Princess, and although I support the idea of making girls believe math is cool, we can't let the genre rest on a film in which Michelle Trachtenberg implied it's a carnival trick that you can master if you just go to physics class and buy a good calculator.

text: Comparison & Contrast Essay: Desktop Computer or Laptop Computer People of today often find difficulty in deciding whether they will purchase a desktop computer or a laptop computer. It may seem that the two are similar but they are totally different. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences of desktop computers and laptop computers in terms of convenience, maintenance, performance and cost. As we all know, a desktop computer is hard to move and it is cluttered due to many wires and cables that need to be connected to each other. Speakers, keyboard and mouse for a laptop computer is built-in so it does not contain wires. It is quite annoying to see so many wires and cables in a desktop computer. The laptop computer is also portable. You can move it with you while you travel and it just occupies a small space. Performance of a laptop computer and a desktop computer has great differences. The desktop computer is capable of having better components that can handle better graphics. It is suitable for hardcore gaming. All the components of a computer are much better for the desktop computer. On the other hand, a notebook has its limits. Even though it can handle some computer games, it cannot handle hardcore games which are new releases. Its battery is also limited and easily overheats in just a short time unlike the desktop computer which does not overheat easily unless you keep it turned on for a very long time � about three days without turning it off if placed in a well ventilated place or over clocking it. Maintenance is a great factor in choosing what type of computer you will go for. A desktop computer is easy to customize. You can easily choose what brand

Preference revelation
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In public choice theory, preference revelation (also preference revelation problem) is an area of study concerned with ascertaining the public's demand for public goods.[1][2] If government planners do not have "full knowledge of individual preference functions",[3] then it's likely that public goods will be under or over supplied.[4][5][6][7]
Unlike private goods, public goods are non-excludable and non-rivalrous.[8] This means that it's possible for people to benefit from a public good without having to help contribute to its production.[9] Given that information about marginal benefits is available only from the individuals themselves, people have an incentive to under report their valuation for public goods.[10] If public finance was entirely voluntary, then anybody who under reported their benefit would decrease their tax payment.[11]
This problem, which is known as the free-rider problem, could potentially result in collective goods being undersupplied.[12][page needed] In order to try and prevent this from happening, governments resort to compulsory taxation. However, forcing people to pay taxes does not reveal what they would be willing to pay for public goods. Therefore it's likely that the government will either provide too much or not enough of any given public good.
One solution to the preference revelation problem would be to implement tax choice. If taxpayers had to pay taxes anyway, but could choose where their taxes go, then they would have no incentive to hide their true preferences for public goods.
