- Caller ID
- Integrated Answering Machine 6 x AAA NiMH batteries
Good So Far 08/27/2009
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG9333T 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 3X Handsets Expandable Digital Cordless Phone Integrated Answering Machine
Works well lots of cool features
none so far
Other Thoughts:
I was really worried about buying these phones because of the 50/50 reviews, most sayingt aht they had problems connecting and also battery life. So far i have not had that problem at all which could be due to the fact that all 3 phones are within 15 feet of each other with 1 wall inbetween each. We shall see though iv only used it to recieve 10 or so calls.

So I just got around to watching this movie today - it is the Will Smith flick originally written by our very own Gary Whitta about a father and son getting stranded on Earth that has undergone quite a few changes over 1000 years. I thought overall the movie was pretty decent for a mindless sci-fi flick. The acting was just average but I really enjoyed all the tech, like the suits changing color, scanning and communication devices or the malleable weapons. Then as always after finishing my viewing I went online to read some trivia and comments. Then I realized wow - people really have a strong disliking for this movie and mercilessly pick it apart as if sci-fi cinema has always been somy holy bastion of reason and logic.
So I'm curious - did you guys really hate it? And if so, why? Personally I thought it was a decent flick with cool special effects - a 7/10

Just a couple days ago I was wondering when there'd be book award news… so today I'm feeling almost psychic because, well, the list of Russian Booker Prize finalists was announced. There aren't any big household names here, though some are familiar:
-Mikhail Elizarov Библиотекарь (The Librarian), a parodic thriller that involves murder and book gangs. (!) Here's an English-language summary.
-Elena Nekrasova Щукинск и города (Shchukinsk and the Cities), in which a Russian-American farmer from Arkansas and an American mason-millionaire go to Ukraine in search of Masonic relics from the 19th century. Photos on Nekrasova's Web site to go with Shchukinsk. Nekrasova's English-language site.
-German Sadulaev Таблетка (The Tablet) I think this no-language booktrailer on YouTube sums things up, though it doesn't capture that the main character, called "office plankton" in this review in "Kommersant," sees himself in other terms (i.e. as a Khazar) when he dreams. My new word for the day: booktrailer.
-Vladimir Sharov Будьте как дети (Be Like Children), (the novel is online: начало, окончание), looks at 1917 Russia using a Biblical fable. This book was also nominated for the Big Book prize. (A Big Book site interview with Sharov.)
-Galina Shchekina Графоманка (The Graphomaniac) tells the story of a woman in a provincial city who writes and wants to find spiritual happiness instead of something more everyday.
So there you go. Whoever wins on December 3, 2008, will receive a $20,000 (U.S.) prize; all finalists receive $2,000.
Edit: Here's a Russian-language article that contains two brief excerpts from each Booker finalist. The piece sees Boiashov and Sharov as prize season favorites because of their 2008 Booker and Big Book nominations.

Very soft and cuddly
By Cruiser
from Toronto, Ontario
I was rather apprehensive ordering this cardigan because of how voluminous it might look on me and the fact that maintenance requires "dry cleaning."?? I ordered the Heather Dove in a Regular, though I wear a regular size Medium. Not bad at all. Even better is that I put it in my washing machine and hung it to dry. Fantastic! I couldn't figure out why a 100% polyester cardigan needed to be dry cleaned. I am using this cardigan as a layering piece for around the house, especially over my PJs.
Love this house coat
By EM
from Ottawa
This is so cozy! I wear it all the time in the house. So cuddly and soft. Love it! Bought another to give as a gift. This is the perfect garment to lounge in. A must.

Just Fabulous!!!!
By Benz11
from Fonthill, Ont
This fabulous Sweater/Jacket arrived just in time to go into my suitcase for a flight. I love it. The style is chic and current. Easy to wear, beautiful quality. I love full fitting dramatic sweaters and tops and this is it. I love the uncluttered neckline and opening down the front. The high slit sides add ease and fashion. This will be a 3 season garment for me. Thank you Marla, Other fabrics would be great and also... please make black!!! I look forward to your next collection...CHEERS!!!
I like it inside out
By Belle
from Calgary
I purchased this Fleece Cardigan along with the striped pullover and matching pants. I have decided that this cardigan looks better when worn inside out. Even if the black triange inserts show, I think it adds to the look, and best of all that gives the garment a long collar. The arms could have been cut a little narrower, but, I am willing to wear it anyway. In two weeks I will be travelling overseas, and I plan to wear this on the plane.
By Jewel Girl
from Ottawa, Ontario
I ordered this in oatmeal and am happy with the purchase. I bought it as part of the 3-piece outfit (striped sweater & flatter fit pant) as the entire set looked nice. It is nice and warm and soft, even if a bit bulky. Odd that while it is soft, it also can stand away from the body, but a belt helps. I will keep the entire outfit and look forward to wearing it more during cool transitional weather (spring, fall) when a coat is not needed. It would be hard to fit this top under a coat.It will be great for travelling as it is casually comfortable yet still dressed up. It's also a wonderful clean slate for jewellery, especially a big colourful brooch.
Not sure about the quality
By Lorna
from Vancouver BC
I bought the 3 piece outfit in oatmeal. I like the style but I am not confident in the quality of the fabric. I have several pieces from this line. I like the simple designs but I think the fabrics used need to be upgraded in order for me to really give my 5 star my endorsement.
Pleated fleece cardigan
By Shoppers
from Toronto Ontario
This garment has such potential. The design and cut is excellent. However, because of the fabric used, I find just too much of it standing out. I have to return it much to my regret.
I wanted to like this
By Annie Oakly
from Cochrane Alberta
This was as soft as advertised, but looked like a Tent on me. I bought the blue grey in regular. It looked like plus size clothing, it was just not flattering at all, but I can see it looking great on the right person. It's so light
Good pattern, executed poorly
By JoJo
from Nanaimo, B.C.
I loved the color, length and over-all style. The fabric is very soft and cozy feeling. However, there was something wrong with one shoulder as it wouldn't drape properly and I was disappointed that the side slits went all the way up to the armhole.

Horrible Material...
By G
from Ottawa area
This topper had such potential. - Idea and Concept - Al - Cut - Al - Material - Horrible.Of all the materials in the world - this one (in my opinion) is not worth the execution of the idea.As eluded to in all videos, this would be great over pyjamas - I did not buy it for that - but, I do agree with this statement.Due to material chosen - this garment is way over-priced.Received it 1 hour ago, already repackaged and ready to go to the Post Office for return. (sigh...more Shipping/Handling fees).

Activision Increases Licensing Partnerships to 150 - News
by William D'Angelo, posted on 18 June 2013 / 2,820 ViewsPublisher Activision Blizzard has more than doubled its licensing partners in the last year to 150. They have also increased their retail space by a third. Call of Duty licenses include Turtle Beach, Brady Games, BioWorld, and PowerA.
"Our licensing strategy is focused on partnering with industry leaders and category experts who will align well with our games' demographics and deliver meaningful brand extensions," said Ashley Maidy, VP of global licensing and partnerships.
"Deeper integration at retail is a key element of our expansion plans. Licensing has allowed us to secure space outside of the video game aisle, providing our fans with multiple touch points for consumer interactions. Additionally, the programs have garnered space in non-traditional gaming retailers like WH Smith and Smyths in Europe. Overall, this holiday we are increasing our retail space by more than one third over last year."

Is there a statute with a better acronym than RICO?
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, apart from its great acronym, has been both a great success and a tool for misuse. We don't often see RICO claims in the employment context, let alone employment class actions, and we can't resist commenting on a recent Eleventh Circuit case addressing a claim that an employer violated RICO by depressing wages though the hiring of illegal aliens.
First, a history lesson. RICO was passed to combat organized crime and, more particularly, the intersection of organized criminal activity and legitimate businesses. The key to understanding RICO is that intersection, and the use of what it describes as "a pattern of racketeering activity" to acquire or run a legitimate business or to laundry money.
Still too abstract? There are four flavors. Think about the stereotypical mob and we'll use the waste removal business as an example. If they go around and acquire all the local small trash hauling companies through subtle or less subtle threats that bad things might happen if they don't sell, that might very well fit within RICO's definition of "acquiring" an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity. Once they acquire it, if they go around telling others that unless they use their garbage business, as opposed to someone else's, something bad might happen, then they fit within RICO's definition of conducting the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity. If they launder money through the business, then they are "investing the proceeds of a pattern of racketeering activity." Lastly, like many statutes, they can also "conspire" to do any of the above.
RICO was an early success when applied to genuine organized crime and has been credited with many successes. In the 1980s, however, plaintiffs' attorneys began to try to use RICO in routine business disputes. This effort was aided by RICO's deliberately broad definition of the so-called "predicate acts," the criminal actions used to exploit or dominate legitimate business. These included mail fraud (basically a fraud where the U.S. mails are used) or wire fraud (once the telephone and faxes, and now the internet).
Courts quickly became fed up with the misuse of the statute in garden variety business disputes and particularly in the late '80s and early '90s is was not uncommon to see courts with standing "RICO" orders that required explicit details regarding the "predicate acts", the "pattern of racketeering activity," and similar definitional phrases. These claims also gave new life to Federal Civil Rule 9, relating to the need to plead fraud with specificity, and many RICO/fraud complaints were dismissed on that basis. When it became apparent that adding a RICO claim to a run-of-the-mill dispute, including an employment dispute, accomplished nothing other than irritating the judge and facilitating removal, such claims fell out of vogue.
So it is interesting to see, decades after RICO claims fall out of favor apart from genuine criminal activity, and after the subsequent Iqbal and Twombly opinions, a case from the Eleventh Circuit addressing a RICO claim that the employer acted to depress wages for its employees. In Simpson v. Sanderson Farms, Inc., Case No. 13-10624 (11th Cir. Mar. 7, 2014), the plaintiffs worked at a large poultry processing plan in Georgia. They asserted state and federal RICO claims that the employer improperly depressed wages through, they claimed, hiring illegal immigrants at lower rates of pay and falsely representing that they were authorized to work in this country. The primary "fraud" was the alleged knowing use of false immigration documents.
The Eleventh Circuit has recognized, at least in theory, that a claim of depressed wages though a pattern of racketeering activity could be recognized under RICO. See Williams v. Mohawk Industries, Inc., 465 F.3d 1277 (11th Cir. 2006). The employer moved to dismiss those claims on the grounds that the complaint failed to allege either an injury or proximate cause with the requisite specificity under Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007), and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009).
The district court dismissed the initial complaint without prejudice and also dismissed an amended complaint that narrowed the issues as much as anything else.
The Eleventh Circuit was even less impressed with the specificity of the allegations than the district court. It noted that the plaintiffs conceded that they had, in fact, received wage increases, but had argued that the increases would have been higher but for the claimed illegal conduct. It found no support in the complaint or amended complaint, however, apart from repetitive, conclusory allegations, to support that allegation. It also rejected the plaintiffs' market theory on the numerous grounds resting on the vague market definition and sparse facts. Similarly, it found insufficient allegations to support proximate cause, either by comparison with actual wages or by a market theory analysis. It therefore affirmed the dismissal of the complaint and amended complaint.
The Bottom Line: RICO claims can exist in the employment context, even on a class action basis, but must be pleaded with a high degree of specificity.

Understanding psychological growth and deviations from healthy developmental processes is essential in helping individuals and couples improve their situation. In my work, I make use of adaptational and motivational perspectives. Using adaptational strategies, I attend to how a client experiences, appraises, reacts, and copes with life stressors. The motivational perspective, on the other hand, attends to the fulfillment of physiological, security/safety, belongingness/love, esteem, and self-actualization or spiritual needs. It is not uncommon to be unaware of our deeper needs and motives, and the conflicts that exist between our needs and the actions used to satisfy them. In helping others, I tailor my approach to the client's goals and needs.

The First Nation has a registered population of 2171 people as of November 2005 [1]. Approximately 1036 members of the First Nation live on-reserve, and approximately 1135 live off-reserve.
The First Nation is affiliated with the Saskatoon Tribal Council, along with six other First Nations.
The First Nation takes its name from the name of its first chief, Chief Mistawasis. Mistawasis, or "Big Child" in English, was the first person to sign Treaty 6 in 1876.

The season finale of FX's Animated Series Archer, which aired last night, contained several Rush references.
The first Rush reference came early in the episode when the character Dr. Krieger talks about listening to "Red Barchetta" through his "...awesome van's" stereo...". He also mentions to Archer's love interest Katya "Please tell me you like Rush..."
Later in the episode, the van that Dr. Krieger mentioned earlier appears on screen -- and it is painted in the style of Rush's Exit...Stage Left album cover, except that it is called "Exit...Van Left". You can see a large-scale image of the van via this LINK.
The episode's trailer is available HERE.

Novella Why do we continue to take the time to write these types of stories of true love and happiness that withstands all the pain and suffering? I could pull out the text book answer argued by those who continue to read these novels, they can answer the questions we long to be answered, they can give hope to those who seek it, that one day they will find their very own Prince charming but truthfully the reason for me is a simple one ... It's a story worth telling.

Apparently not everyone hails from Planet Halfassery
In comp and my Milton seminar, I've at least taught the material before and have old notes and/or experience to go on. In Shakespeare, however, I'm teaching a play that I don't know well and have never taught.
Hurrying from the parking lot to my office this morning, I spied my Renaissance colleague--also a junior professor, but an actual Shakespearian--walking a few blocks ahead of me.
"Colleague!" I said, running to catch up with him. "Hey! All's Well That Ends Well. You taught it?"
"N-no," he said, looking at me funny. "That's one of those plays--I don't think I've even read it since college."
"Yeah," I said. "I know! But I'm teaching it today and I don't have a lesson plan."
He stopped walking and gave me a look of pure, startled surprise. Not disapproval--just wonder. "But you teach. . . now, right?"
"In 20 minutes." I said. "Well, gotta run! I need to grab some coffee and figure some stuff out. Group work? Maybe? It'll come to me. Catch you later!"
And in fact, it was totally fine: I'd loved rereading the play and was eager to talk about it--and my students, too, were lively and opinionated. We worked through a couple of scenes, broke down some themes and images, and thus filled our 90 minutes.
I'm still laughing, though, at how utterly perplexed my colleague seemed at the idea of someone (or perhaps me in particular?) showing up for class unprepared. On my planet, that's not so unheard of.

- Fretful Porpentine said...
Well, but you had in fact not only read but re-read the text, right? That counts as fully prepared on my planet, which I think I shall call Planet Fullassery after this.
- Flavia said...
Well, "re-read" in the sense that I last read it five years ago!
Doing the reading and having a lesson plan at least sketched out = fullassery.
Doing the reading but having no lesson plan = halfassery.
Doing neither = noassery.
The real question is what to call it when you HAVE a lesson plan but HAVEN'T done the reading recently, which is unfortunately what I often do in Shakespeare with plays I know pretty well (and which I did all the time in Brit Lit I, when I wound up teaching an identical syllabus for four consecutive semesters). I consider that to be halfassery, too, but without the panic and adrenaline rush that to me are at least partly redemptive: if you feel guilty about halfassing it, that's a kind of virtue, surely. - 5:34 PM
- Fretful Porpentine said...
So in other words, I am confused, and the planet where I live a fair bit of the time is actually called Noassery? Awesome!
- phd me said...
20 minutes? That's about my timetable these days! I feel awful for putting so little time into the lessons but it's about all I can do to show up for class these days. And it's probably not helping that I can usually pull it off since that just encourages the halfassery. I'm headed toward pedagogical disaster any day now.
- Sisyphus said...
All hail to the Queen!
It's good to see someone from the home planet once in a while. And a royal half-ass-er-er, no less! - 9:33 PM
- Flavia said...
PhD Me: yes, but do your 20 minutes also include taking nearly 5 minutes to buy a cup of coffee and nearly 10 to walk to the building your classroom is in? Didn't think so!
(Although I should confess that in my car on the way to campus I got stuck at one very long light--which I know to be a long light--during which I whipped out my book and started dog-earing pages. So, I had maybe 8 min of prep total.) - 9:34 PM
- Flavia said...
Oh, and Fretful: upon a reconsideration of terms, I think you're right: doing NO prep is fullassery, and being totally prepped is noassery. I lost sight of what the "assery" is supposed to convey--which is, I think, the embarrassing exposure of same in full or in part?
- Sisyphus said...
I just had to add that when I Googled "halfassery" and "definition" my blog came up as the top choice ... you'll need to post more on this Flavia!
- Horace said...
Funny, this x-assery is precisely what will happen in my classes tomorrow!
- T.E. said...
So your Shakespearean colleague, he's fairly new, yes?
I'm not sure I'm sold on the ass-half-full semantics. Will have to think about this one. This may provide enough etymological entertainment to see me through till Thanksgiving break. - 6:11 AM
- Belle said...
Well, y'all are the English types, so when you figure out stages of assery, please advise. It'd be so delightful to know at least what to call the stage of 'so what am I supposed to do today?'
- Flavia said...
T.E.: Yes; he's of more or less my status. Very smart and very sweet, but definitely tightly-wound.
And please DO get back to us on this important semantic question! (Didn't you and Dr. V get involved in the debate, on my old blog, over whether the expression "giving he@d" was an example of metonymy, synecdoche or something else entirely? I don't recall how that one ended.)
And Sis: my apologies. It seems that you, truly, are the monarch-by-right of Planet Halfassery! - 5:53 PM
Sorry, but I think an ass is a unit of measure.
Hence, half-assing something is only putting in half the required effort, while an ass-ton is quite a bit.
-scr - 3:44 AM
- Thoroughly Educated said...
I did participate in that debate at the old blog, though I don't remember how it ended, either, or even what position I took!
- Scrivener said...
I almost never went into class with a clear-cut lesson plan. I spent quite a bit of time thinking about possible avenues of discussion, but only rarely tried to go in with a real plan. The classes where I did have a lesson plan were always my lamest classes, too. I say kudos to you.
- Flavia said...
So for the nonexistant readers who are still interested in this question, the first citation for "half-ass" is from 1863, but that term (and the later "half-assed") seem really to have entered the lexicon in the late 1920s and 30s--according to the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (which is my all-time favorite reference work, not least because it reveals that every word you've ever read has some grossly offensive secondary or tertiary meaning).
Irritatingly, there's no suggestion as to what the "ass" refers to, but since the expression seems to have been particularly popular in the military, I'm sticking with my interpretation: to half-ass something is to go about it sloppily, as if with one's ass hanging half out.
And as for the "head" question: according to the same reference work, "head" was commonly used in the late 19th/early 20th C. as a metonymy for "mouth" ("as a source of offensive or inappropraite talk"--e.g., "shut your head"), and it was ALSO, in the mid-20th C., a slang term for a young woman (cf. "broad").
So I stick by that earlier claim, too: the phrase is a metonymy. (I'm not linking to that earlier post, because it's on a totally different, boring subject and the interesting part is all in the comments--but it's easily findable through a Google search.) - 10:56 PM
- Sisyphus said...
Such a fascinating discussion --- so it's true, what they told me: all you need to be an English major is know the bible and have a dirty mind!
is that an ass-ton or an ass-tonne? An ass-tonne is equivalent to a metric butt-load, i think....

Day 8: Airborne
EditPrimary Objectives:
- Destroy the Storage Depot Door
- Deliver the Hydraulic Fluid
- Hack the Warehouse Controls
- Deliver the Avionics
- Repair the Fuel Pump
This mission requires a lot of running around. You may want to use some medium to long range guns like Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, or Submachine Guns with good accuracy. A smaller body type may be good too. The first step is destroying the Storage Depot Door. Switch to a Soldier Class so you can plant a HE Charge on the door. Guard it and wait for it to blow. Once it blows, steal the Hydraulic Fluid inside and deliver it to a plane in the hanger. If you are killed while holding it, you will drop the fluid. It must be recovered by a teammate or the enemy will return it to the starting location.
After delivering the fluid, you must Hack the Warehouse Controls. Switch to an Operative class and place a hackbox on the controls. The more Operatives hacking, the faster the hack will go. Once the hack is complete, a crane-like arm will drop the Avionics. Now you must deliver the Avionics to the same plane in the hanger from earlier. Run back to the hanger and deliver the Avionics, but watch out for any enemy turrets or landmines.
Once all of that is taken care of, you must repair the fuel pump. Switch to an Engineer class to do this. Use the Objective Wheel to find the fuel pump near the plane. The more Engineers repairing, the faster the repair will go. Repair the pump to complete the mission.

Front axle suggestions pls
I am looking for a front axle that can run stock parts. I originally wanted to chop down a ford dana 44 HP to waggy width. I have a trussed 8.8 in the back and would like something stronger than the 44. I want to run 36-37s with 5.13s. I don't want to run full width. I think a 609 or 449 would be sweet but that's lots of $$$ and not anywhere near stock parts. Maybe I'm kidding myself and the 44 is the best option that wont cost me too much coin. Any suggestions are appreciated.

a 44 with cromo shafts and 300m u-joints would be strong enough for 36-37or throw in a toyota hp and get longfeilds or dirty 30's and you can run 38-40's all day. I dont know what your putting it in but toyotas are p/s drop.

should have mentioned this is goin in a xj so I need driver side drop. You think a yota front is stronger than a 44? I hardly see those for sale but maybe I am not looking in the right place.
Just seen you have rockwells going in.....not looking for something quite that big :). |

by that do you mean a 30 spline kit? Stil end up with unit bearings. Seems like a locked 30 ring and pinion wouldn't last long. I did see a company is making a 513 for the 30 but that pinion is tiny.

just figure how much you will spend on good shafts and joints and that will easily pay for a 1 ton front..do it right the first time and you will not regret it.

You'll probably end up spending almost this much if you have to get any custom shafts anyway. Just go for it.

85-91 kingpin or a 92-97 ball joint ford hp60 but down ~5" on just the long side to make it 64" wms and you can get the shaft resplined for ~$70 and everything fits nice.
Hp44 is a waste unless running a 4 banger, just run a hp30 94 hp60 64.5" wms |

why do you say the 44 is a waste unless you have a 4 banger? I would eventually like to have a small block. D60s are hard to find for a decent price. where can I get shafts resplined for 70 bucks? I would imagine that would be heat treated as well.

Axle Guru Extraordinaire
hp30 only goes down to 4:88's so if you need/want 5:13 or 5:38's then a hp44 is the way to go. The weak point it the same for either axle the axle joint.
Don't even mess with half ton stuff with 37's and a small block do it right the first time. There are deals out there you just have to keep your eye open. Moser Engineering, last I checked was $65 might of gone up plus shipping there and back is not expensive. No you do not heat treat again.

So you finally decided to get a cat. Maybe you just moved out of home, are living alone for the first time, and want a little company. Maybe you don't have the space for a dog but want a furry companion. Whatever the reason, there are a few things you should know before taking on the responsibility of caring for a cat. While they are markedly simpler to look after than their canine counterpart, cats still require basic looking after if they are going to live a long and healthy life. Here in our "Cats 101," you can find information to shine some light into the corners of cat ownership and all the little responsibilities that it entails.
Cats are so low maintenance. All you need is to feed them twice a day, right? No! Like any other pet they require a certain level of care, and if you aren't in a position to provide it then the role of cat parent is best left for later. Here are a few things to consider before making the leap.
Did you know that different breeds of cats have different temperaments and grooming requirements? Depending on your living situation, a certain breed may suit you better than another.
If you are on the fence about cat ownership, this article should clear up a lot of what might be dissuading you from making the leap. For someone who has never owned a cat, your perception might be dictated largely by myths and misconceptions. Cast off your shackles and learn the truth!
Thought you were just going to plop your new kitten down next to their litter box and they would know just what to do? Wrong! Unless you want a confused cat and a living room full of waste, read this article and avoid this comically routine foible.
What do you do if your cat has a cut on one of their paw pads? What justifies a visit to the vet? Your cat cannot tell you how bad the cut is, so read up now and save yourself some panic later
Just because Garfield could eat all the lasagna he wanted, doesn't mean your cat should be scarfing down plates of people food. Cats may seem like they moderate their portions, but give it a few months and you will be staring down one chubby kitty. Check this article out if you are worried about your cat's weight.
Hairballs. They are for real. If you haven't heard your cat start hacking up fuzz yet, just wait. There are ways to try to prevent them, and more ways to simply cope with them. These articles will help you understand what it is your cat is doing, and how best to deal with it.
Cats are constantly cleaning themselves, so you will probably never need to give them a bath, right? Guess again! While they do a pretty good job, there will come a time when your cat climbs up on your lap, brushes against your face, and you realize that they smell funky. Learn how to give your cat a bath the safe way, otherwise you may have to stock up on Band-Aids.
For the new cat owner with some extra time to burn, there are ways to teach your cat to follow commands. Not an endeavor for the faint of heart, training a cat will take all of your cunning and patience. However, the results will far surpass your initial investment. Learn how, and impress all your friends with your ultra obedient cat!
Certainly one of the less pleasant decisions to be made by any new pet parent, spaying or neutering is nevertheless an important one. There are a few things you should know before you decide. This article will shed some light on the advantages of having your pet sterilized.
Sometimes cats need surgery and just like anyone else, they are probably a little sore and need some extra help doing everyday things. Be prepared for what your kitty-on-the-mend might need by reading this article.
Cats, like people, also get old. And, like people, they can't do things they used to be able to. Help your cat gracefully approach their golden years by learning what to expect from your geriatric kitty.
Congratulations! You made it through "Cats 101." Hopefully you learned a few useful things and are now prepared to begin your life as a proud cat parent.

The next government in Dublin took shape yesterday with Ireland's two largest political parties striking a deal to work together.
Fine Gael and Labour, which both benefited hugely from the collapse of the ruling Fianna Fail party in the recent election, decided to form government.
A deal worked out by negotiating teams was yesterday endorsed by meetings of party members. Although their manifestos differed on many points and the two parties clashed during the campaign, they unveiled a programme for government based on a series of compromises.
They will have the advantage of a large majority in the Irish parliament, where together they won 113 of 166 seats. The formation of this particular coalition has been widely expected, since it was seen as offering the best chance of stability. The deal will see the installation of the Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny as Prime Minister with Labour leader Eamon Gilmore as his deputy.
During the campaign there were sharp exchanges between the two parties but the possibility of a coalition between them grew as their relative strengths became clear. A deal then became a near-certainty when votes were counted, with Fine Gael by far the largest party but falling short of a majority.
Fine Gael took 76 seats to Labour's 37. While various other arrangements were technically possible, most of them involved large elements of uncertainty – such as relying on independents.
These two parties have often gone into coalition in the past and this time the negotiations went smoothly, with no major rows reported during their intensive talks.
One of the most urgent tasks the new government has set for itself is to seek some easing of the terms of the €85bn (£73bn) bailout advanced to the last administration by the IMF and EU. Next will come years of tackling the country's economic problems.

Distribution |
| |||
HOW DO I RECOGNIZE IT? Distinctive features: |
Egeria (Egeria densa) is a perennial freshwater aquatic herb in the waterweed family. It has stems up to fifteen feet long that are frequently branched. It is distinguished from related species by the absence of turions (shoots from underground stems) and tubers and by the presence of showy, white flowers that float on or just above the water. It is usually rooted in bottom mud, but may be found as a free-floating mat or fragments with its buoyant stems near the surface. | |||
Description: |
Female flowers solitary, with 3 spoon-shaped sepals, reflexed at maturity, and 3 broadly ovate but unequal sepals 0.2-0.3 in (6-8 mm) long and 0.2-0.3 in (5-8 mm) wide. Male flowers are in groups of 2-4 with 3 boat-shaped sepals and 3 showy petals 0.35-0.4 in (9-11 mm) long and 0.2-0.35 in (6-9 mm) wide. Fruits: cylindrical, 0.3 in (7-8 mm) long and 0.1 in (3 mm) diameter, developing within the female spathe; rare or absent in CA populations. Seeds: if present, spindle-shaped and 0.3 in (7-8 mm) long (Hickman 1993, Parsons 1992). | |||
Egeria occurs in cool to warm freshwater ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and slowly flowing streams and sloughs. It can root up to seven meters below the water surface (Parsons 1992). In California, egeria occurs at less than 7,000 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada, Central Valley, central coast San Francisco Bay, and San Jacinto Mountains (Hickman 1993). | |||
Egeria is native to Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. It is has been distributed via the aquarium trade to many other parts of the world, including Chile, Mexico, the United States, England, New Zealand, and Australia, where it has escaped cultivation and become naturalized (Parsons 1992). The timing and location of its entry into California are unknown. Human dispersal via the aquarium trade is the most common means of egeria dispersal (Parsons 1992) and it can readily establish in natural water bodies after escaping from human settings. Once naturalized, egeria can spread along existing water courses into suitable new habitats without further human activity. Stem fragments at least two nodes long frequently break off and float away from the parent plant during active growth in spring (Parsons 1992). Fragments occur during all times of the year as a result of mechanical shearing of water flows, wave action, waterfowl activity, and boating. | |||
Egeria's dense underwater growth significantly retards water flow, interfering with irrigation projects, hydroelectric utilities, and urban water supplies. It may also slow water traffic and interfere with recreational and commercial activities such as boating, swimming, and fishing. Egeria reduces the abundance and diversity of native plant seeds in lake bottoms, and this is probably accentuated by increased sediment accumulation beneath the weed beds (deWinton and Clayton 1996). | |||
In California (and North America in general) reproduction and dispersal are via fragments of shoots and rhizomes, since only the male plant has become established. No seed formation has been documented (Anderson 1997, 1998, and pers. observation). Stem fragments can take root in bottom mud or may remain as free-floating mats. Roots range from fine and thread-like to long, thick, and robust adventitious roots, with many branches. Growth is most rapid during summer, as day length and temperature increase. Biomass in lakes reaches a maximum during late summer and fall. Thick mats form, consisting of long, intertwining, multi-branched stems below the water surface. No information is available on the rate of individual plant growth (Parsons 1992).
Egeria has a low light requirement. High light intensities cause discoloration and damage to the chlorophyll within about two weeks. Thus, turbid water is likely to favor rather than inhibit growth. Egeria thrives in red light spectra, which is more abundant near the water surface, and is killed or suffers under blue and green light spectra, which penetrate deeper below the surface. This may explain why the weed cannot establish itself more than twenty feet below the water surface (Feijoo et al. 1996). | |||
Several methods are useful in removing egeria, particularly in lakes and ponds where water movement is minimal. | |||
Physical control: |
Manual/mechanical methods: pulling, cutting, and digging with machines is costly, provide only temporary relief, and simultaneously encourage spread by fragmentation. Mechanical harvesting produces thousands of viable fragments per acre (Anderson, 1998). | |||
Biological control: |
Grazing: Two fish, the white amur or Chinese grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and the Congo tilapia (Tilapia melanopleura), have been introduced into water bodies to control egeria (Avault 1965). Currently, only the sterile (triploid) grass carp can be used in California and only in six southern California counties (Imperial, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura). Permitted uses are authorized by the California Department of Fish and Game throughout the state with certain restrictions. | |||
Chemical control: |
Herbicides in aquatic systems must be handled carefully to avoid worsening the situation. A specialist in control of aquatic weeds should be consulted. At present the following herbicides can be used at label concentrations to control egeria in California: diquat (contact type); copper-containing products (contact type); acrolein (contact type and highly restricted uses where no fisheries are impacted); and fluridone (systemic type requiring 4 to 6 weeks of treatment at very low rates) (Anderson et al. 1996). |
