Nasty looking lump on his chest/stomach???
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, we found this nasty looking thing on Einstein's stomach/chest area today. At first we thought it was a nipple, or a tick. We took a closeup photo of it and decided it's best to ask around.
It's like a hard lumpy flaky bump. A picture is attached.
We are a little concerned and hope it's nothing too serious, but you just don't know. So any advice will be appreciated. We plan to monitor it and take him to the vet if it changes.
go to the Vet asap then monitor.
It could be a wound from scratching, it could be anything actually. It could be cancer. You will never know without going and having it checked out. I hope it is nothing, but like Doggiedad said; go to a vet for your own peace of mind.
Obviously you're going to a vet, and I'm no pro. But it looks like a standard wound. Maybe he got caught on a stick or something.
Dog Skin Tumors | Causes and Prevention
Here is a list with a description of types of lumps and lesions...see what best fits your pooches and go from there...
When my dog had sores on his stomach and under his arms I went to a vet. You can also get the Merck veterinary book if you and to try and self diagnose.
Thanks everyone for the replies so far. Sorry to ask the same question again but wondering if someone has seen something like this in the past? I checked all the sites that list the different types of growths/tumors in dogs and while most are benign I couldn't find anything that looks like this.
Any advice will be much appreciated!

Classical Athens and the Delphic Oracle: Divination and Democracy
€ 39,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2005
BeschreibungThe Delphic Oracle was where, according to Greek tradition, Apollo would speak through his priestesses. This work explores the importance placed on consultations at Delphi by Athenians in the city's age of democracy. It demonstrates the extent to which concern to do the will of the gods affected Athenian politics, challenging the notion that Athenian democracy may be seen as a model for modern secular democratic constitutions. All the known consultations of the oracle by Athens in the period before 300 BC are examined, and descriptions of consultations found in Attic tragedy and comedy are discussed. This work provides a new account of how the Delphic oracle functioned and presents a thorough analysis of the relationship between the Athenians and the oracle, making it essential reading both for students of the oracle itself and of Athenian democracy.
InhaltsverzeichnisIntroduction; 1. How did the Delphic oracle work?; 2. What did the Athenians think of the Delphic Oracle?; 3. What did historians and philosophers say about the Delphic oracle?; 4. How and why did the Athenians consult the Delphic oracle?; 5. What did the Athenians ask the Delphic oracle?; 6. Why did the Athenians (and other Greek cities) go to war?; 7. Conclusion: divination and democracy; Appendix 1. Consultations of Delphi in Attic tragedy; Appendix 2. Concordance of Athenian consultations.
PortraitHugh Bowden is Lecturer in Ancient History at King's College London. He is the author of numerous articles on Greek religion and history and is editor of The Times Ancient Civilizations (2002).
Pressestimmen'... clear, straightforward and jargon-free'. BBC History 'This work provides a new account of how the Delphic oracle functioned, making it essential reading both for students of the oracle itself and of Athenian democracy.' History Today 'His discussion of this central theme of the book is carefully and thought-provokingly placed within a wider religious, political, intellectual and cultural context than one might immediately imagine such a title to embrace ... closely argued and immensely provocative ...' Journal of Classics Teaching 'This excellent little book challenges many generally accepted views about both Athenian democracy and the Delphic oracle in an attempt to highlight the role religion played in ancient Greek political discourse. ... well written and researched ... this affordable monograph with its clean text, useful appendices, full bibliography, and fine (and extensive) English translations will surely become a standard reference on both the Delphic oracle and Athenian society.'

Something to consider before you go shopping. Mossberg has an inline muzzle loading barrel you can put on their model 500 shotgun. It sells for about $130. They also have rifled barrels for slugs and sabot rounds. With one action and three barrels (those plus a 28" with screw in chokes) You can hunt just about anything.

Take lots of rope.....
Skinning a deer at first was overwhelming go to YouTube and look up " skinning a deer with a golf ball"
I can't believe how easy this makes skinning a deer.
Go to Dicks and get something called "butt out"
Get a good pelvic saw, head light, do not go cheap on a hunting suit..... There is nothing more miserable than freezing in the woods......... Expect to pay about 300-400 on good clothing, good h20 proof boots. Take lots of good socks. If your in a tree invest in a good safety harness not only will it help you if fall you can hook your deer up to and drag it fairly easily.
If your at all Squimish rubber gloves and a cloths pin may help. Don't forget hand Warner's...
Its not about guns...Its about Freedom!
Assistant Instructor @ http://www.green-ops.com/ Located in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area "Why should your training be any less special?"
Contact your states Game Dept. and check to see if they have a hunter's safety course or similar (great resource). They should have a booklet on the laws and regulations on hunting and fishing. Here in Virginia you can use a rifle in some counties and in others only a shotgun. Take care and stay safe. Happy hunting.
In Ohio, if you haven't had a hunting license before, you do need to attend a Hunter's Ed course. Even if you have held a license, its still a good idea to attend one.
With the right shotgun, you can stretch the range out a bit. Depending on the part of Ohio you wind up in, dictates the types of shots that are prevalent, and the range you should expect. Also, your shotgun can only hold 3 shells, that is 3 total, so 2+1, not 3 in the tube, so you will probably need to plug it.
The gun season in this state is very limited, bow season is open a whole lot longer.
EDIT: In Ohio each county also has its own ODNR game warden. They generally are a great resource and wealth of knowledge, you can find contact info for the one for your county, or the county you will be going to at the ODNR website. While they generally are busy, most are also very friendly, and would rather answer questions beforehand, than issue citations in the field for honest mistakes. So give them a call.

Have a good knife for field dressing, and careful around tarsal glands (sweet glands) if you cut them with your knife it can leave that smell on the meat.
Good tip right here. Call you local game warden and mine him for some data. He will know some local public hunting areas that could be good "semi-secret" spots to hunt.EDIT: In Ohio each county also has its own ODNR game warden.

The other advice I have to offer you is this: Go places other hunters don't go. Deer move away from hunting pressure. That means that after the first day of gun season you need to think outside of the box. There may be a swampy area or a steep ravine that keeps others hunters away. Hunt where others don't. It takes hard work sometimes but it often produces good results.
Lastly I'll say that it doesn't always need to be farther or harder to get to for it to be a super hot spot. Many of my good spots have been right near a freeway or in a little clump of woods that other hunters think is just too small to hold deer. Think outside of the box and go where other hunters don't.
As far as gear goes: Boots make the difference. 99% of the people that get cold in the woods get cold feet. Cold feet get painful really fast and are the quickest way to a miserable hunt. Get good water proof boots with at LEAST 800 grams of thinsulate insulation if you are going to sit still and stand hunt. Buy them 1/2 to 1 size larger than your normal shoe size. This allows good blood flow to your feet when wearing heavy socks. If you don't have good blood flow to your feet then 1 million grams of thinsulate won't help. Boots are the #1 item for staying in the woods a long time. Feet ALWAYS get cold first if you don't have good boots.
i believe we will be bow hunting. the thing that stinks is i am pretty sure i wont be doing this often. i want to be comfortable, and warm and dry but dont want to spend alot of $ for 1 or 2 days. who knows, i might get lucky and bag a huge buck, and want to go back again. its like golf, its always that 1 shot that keeps you coming back, not the million that pisssed you off enough to throw and break an expensive club........ or in my case clubs
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
Advice for bow season: Deer are less disturbed from pressure during bow season so they will move more naturally at this time of year. The way to kill a deer in bow season is to get between their bedroom (cover) and a food source. Deer need three things to live: cover (the bedroom), food and water. Hunt between cover and food.
If you pay attention to the wind, hunt between cover and food, practice shooting and if you can be still then you will take a deer. It's just that simple. Playing the wind, being patient and simply being there is the key. You can't kill a deer if you are at home on your couch.
ETA: One more thing about the wind. A deer's nose is its most powerful weapon. If the wind is blowing from you towards where you expect to see a deer then you're toast. You'll want the wind blowing from the deer toward you.
Also avoid scented soaps and aftershave/lotions for a few days before you go hunting. Avoid using Downy (or other fabric softener/smelly laundry soap) on your hunting clothes. A deer's nose always knows!

The secular reprobate mind is filled with violence, moral relativism and lawlessness designs and its actions have ravished this nation since the 60's beyond all recognition of what the founding fathers envisioned.
Let us first look at the barbaric act of abortion. Since 1973 there has been 55 million abortions of our American children. May I say that NO gun has ever achieved that statistic not even all the combined arsenal of WW2! The abortion agenda of the Left is the holy grail of their godless ideology. The abortion ideology is a narcissistic ideology, which at its core is rooted in pure death. Of all issues that liberalism promotes and seeks acceptance for none is more championed and protected by these barbarians then abortion. Oh the hypocrisy of the Left!.
We as a nation have received the Left's critical theory as absolute today and our family unit, men, women, children and every aspect of our society in the name of "liberation" and personal freedom have reaped the whirlwind upon our culture and society.
(Isa. 5:20, Rom. 1:18-32, 1 Cor. 1:18-31).
Aids, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, death, many faceted philological problems, violence, oppression, tyranny, slavery, addiction, damnable dependency etc… etc… have all come to be and now have their jack boot on the neck of our nation all because of the reprobate mind which has now become legal (Isa. 5:20).
(John 3:19-21, 8:32, 36), but our day has become so dark, so deviant, so lawless and yes relativistic that the average Joe or Sally is totally oblivious to Divine REALITY and moral absolutes. Today absolutes are so twisted out of proportion, words and morals are redefined to legitimize lawlessness. Good is called evil and evil good! Such were the days in which Isaiah the prophet spoke about and here we are today with the very same spirit at work in our nation.
My dear friend our day is only going to get worse until we as a nation finally implode on ourselves. Decadence, lawlessness and moral relativism are now the dominant ideology of our land. We indeed as a nation have apostatized not just from Almighty God and His Word but from moral absolutes as well. The result of this apostasy is very evident today throughout our U.S. culture and society.
Decadence, lawlessness and moral relativism are now the dominant ideology of our land.
It is easy to deduce that the Liberal mind - void of Almighty God and moral absolutes is the exceedingly far greater evil and threat to our culture and society than a gun.
My dear friends the inmates are now running the asylum, Washington and the media. May Almighty God's Word give you the light you need and keep your rooted and grounded as we as a nation and a world head strait into the Day of the Lord.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

How safe is it to have lipo soon after a neck lift? If both of the surgeries are going to be under local anesthesia, does it make it safer? What additional advice do you have for me?
Is It Safe to Have Lipo Two Days After a Neck Lift?
Doctor Answers 5
Combined aesthetic surgery procedures
It doesn't make sense to do these surgeries 2 days apart unless you are going to 2 different docotors. Even then, you should give them at least 2 weeks of healing between. If you have chosen a great real plastic surgeon for the neck lift, he/she can certainly handle the liposuction so I don't understand why you would need 2 doctors if that is what you are up to here.
Liposuction and neck lift
I would avoid having the two surgeries staged so close together. Whay are they not being done in the same setting?
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Do not do liposuction 2 days after neck lift
Liposuction requires moving you around, which may harm the recently done neck lift. Either do them together or one month apart.
You might also like...
Better to wait before Lipo two days after Neck Lift
If you are planning the lipo after the neck lift I would suggest you wait for the neck procedure to heal before having the lipo. As Dr. Placik said it may be better to do both at the same time. The benefits of doing them both at the same time are: one healing period, one anesthesia session, saving on facility fee, anesthesia fee, and surgical fee. Just a suggestion.

I have been watching Republic Wireless for a while and considering whether I should switch from my current Verizon plan when it runs out. Everything looks very appealing (especially with the new phone/pricing), but the biggest question I have had from the beginning is how the network coverage compares to Verizon's. I have heard people on Sprint's network complain about poor coverage in many areas before, but I also know that part of Sprint's network is roaming on Verizon's, so part of the complaints may be due to the fact that they had to pay for roaming (which I understand is free with Republic Wireless). Additionally, comparing the coverage map on Republic Wireless's site to the one on Verizon's seems to show that you have comparable (if not, better coverage).
Ultimately, I would be interested to hear from current customers who were previously Verizon customers (though comments from Republic Wireless employees would not be unwelcome either). Have you had any less coverage with Republic Wireless compared to Verizon? If so, how much, and how often?

Howdy folks. My name is Brandon, almost 21 and looking to enlist USAF come March-ish 2012. I've been a pretty die hard Mustang enthusiast for a long while but am real interested in Scoobys, and may go look at a 2004 WRX around here with 63k miles for about $11,900.
Right now I have a 2004 Mustang GT with 70k miles I owe about $9300 on. I'm thinking I can break even loan wise to where I finance about the same amount on the WRX given what my car is worth and how low I may get the dealer down, but that is besides the point.
My question and point in thread is mostly to welcome myself and to also inquire about the main things to look out for on these vehicles, as I am completely new to the idea of owning a turbo'd vehicle. Any insight, advice, etc. is very welcome.
Glad to be aboard.
P.S. For anyone interested, here's my 'stang, LOL....

Housecall for Health: Benefits of Broccoli
Broccoli may be more than just a nutritious food choice… new research shows new ways it could be beneficial to your body.
FOX's Colleen Cappon reports in this edition of "Housecall for Health":
Audio clip:
Another reason to eat your veggies, a new 'super-charged' broccoli may prevent arthritis. A study from the University of East Anglia in England finds a main component found in broccoli blocks a key destructive enzyme that damages cartilage. The special cross-bred super-vegetable is ultra-high in nutrients that protect the joints. Trials in mice have been successful, and researchers hope the current human trial will yield the same results.

Rajon Rondo is out for the season after a torn ACL he suffered in the Celtics' loss against the Atlanta Hawks last Friday night. So now there are a lot more questions for the Celtics. Do they finally rebuild? Do they keep going with this squad?
I asked three of the best Boston Celtics bloggers around. John Karalis (@RedsArmy_John) and Jamey Burke (@KWAPT) are two of the mainstays from Red's Army and Jay King (@CelticsTown) leads the troops in Celtics Town. They are three of the most knowledgeable people about the Celtics and they tell us what they think the Celtics should do with this current squad. And, of course, I asked them about Boston's dynamic point guard.
Before the season started, what were you expecting out of the Celtics?
JOHN KARALIS (Red's Army): Well, I bought into the hype, admittedly. I thought Rondo was going to take a bigger step forward, I didn't expect Paul Pierce to take as much of a step back, and I expected the bench to perform much better than it did. I had them as a legitimate title contender because I thought they had addressed the issues with the offense while keeping their defense strong.
JAY KING (Celtics Town): The Celtics came within 10 minutes of the NBA Finals, then bolstered their talent level significantly in the offseason. I naturally expected they would limp through the first 43 games of the regular season with a sub-.500 record, possessing an offense near the league's basement and a defense strong but not quite elite, and then valiantly beat the Miami Heat in double overtime on the same day Rajon Rondo was ruled out for the season with a torn ACL.
All jokes aside, I thought Boston gave itself a fighter's chance to challenge the Heat in the Eastern Conference. Obviously, the Celtics haven't done that, and Rondo's absence will hurt them especially once the playoffs arrive. He was always their biggest advantage in a playoff series. Now, he'll be sitting on the sideline looking fresh azimiz — you know, assuming the Celtics make the playoffs.
JAMEY BURKE (Red's Army): I was expecting a run deep into the playoffs when looking at the squad the Celtics brought into training camp. The only question (and it still is) was how we would compete without a true center? Sure, Miami is also somewhat of a "small ball" team, but you have the Knicks w/Chandler & now Stat back, Lopez/Humphries on Brooklyn & Atlanta's big front line.
You guys saw the play where he might have torn his ACL against Atlanta. At the time, what were your thoughts about it?
JOHN: Didn't give it a second thought. Part of that was because he continued to play, and I thought he might have pulled a muscle or something. Part of it was having watched the Celtics blow a 27 point lead, I was more focused on what a crap-avalanche this collapse was.
JAY: I thought nothing of it. Nothing at all. He played the last 12 minutes of that game, and actually, in the two overtimes, doubled power forward Brandon Bass' rebound total for the entire game. I don't think anyone foresaw Rondo being seriously injured. Heck, he was originally slated for the starting lineup Sunday against the Heat.
While we're on the subject, I'm convinced Rondo would feel no pain even after getting run over by an 18-wheeler, punched in the face 45 times by Mike Tyson and having an air conditioner dropped on his head from the 15th floor of a hotel.
JAMEY: Honestly, I thought perhaps it was just another "tweak" of his ankle or perhaps a knee on knee bang-up. But this kid has been tough as nails, which may be something C's fans have taken for granted. Before you knew how serious it was, you expected him to bounce right back as usual.
What were your immediate thoughts when you learned Rondo was out for the season?
JOHN: What expletives are allowed on this site?
There's a bit of deflation when you hear news like that. I truly believe this team has a lot of talent that has been under-performing for whatever reasons. When you lose the only guy on the roster than can consistently create for himself or others, that's a big blow.
JAY: Denial and disbelief gave way to "NOOOO!!!!!" which gave way to "Please let Paul Pierce retire as a Celtic," which gave way to "What type of ice cream should I choose to wash down my sorrows?"
I ended up eating a whole carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream, then filling it with my tears. And then I screamed at my television "ANYBODY BUT RAY ALLEN" at least 17 times as the Celtics improbably staged an amazing double overtime win against Miami.
JAMEY: I was actually at the game on Sunday. It was hard to really try & comprehend it in the middle of that maddening afternoon. But honestly, my first thought with no filter was "we're done..". Then I just felt utter sympathy for Rajon. This kid is a fierce competitor and it's so clear he loves the game. Basketball is his life. It must be so hard for him emotionally. Stay strong, kid.
What do you think is the best route for the Celtics? What is next for this squad?
JOHN: This is the great debate in Boston. The problem for the Celtics is they're not constructed well for either the "blow it up" or "make a trade and make a run" options.
The Celtics main assets for a trade are Rondo (even with the injury), Paul Pierce, Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger. Beyond that, they have guys with some value, but not enough to make any big deals.
Sullinger and Bradley have value beyond their contracts (Bradley especially), so trading them right now will require a more complicated deal when you try to get their value in return because now filler players that the other team might not want have to get involved. Pierce's contract is pretty big, so the Celtics will likely have to take a bad contract in return for whatever young assets/picks MIGHT be out there for him (and let's face it, in today's climate, it's not a lot).
So the best thing the C's can do is maybe find a point guard and and big man either through free agency or via minor trade (maybe for a Brandon Bass type player… if possible) and see where it goes.
Let's not forget, ownership likes to make a little extra cash with some playoff gates. If the team can somehow rally and make it a round or two… that's money in their pockets. If the Celtics want to blow it up, They can do it in June and July.
JAY: Danny Ainge should look into dealing almost every piece on his roster, and he should be most hesitant about dealing Rondo, Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger, all of whom look like essential pieces to whatever lies in the future.
But making huge trades is easier said than done. Kevin Garnett has a no-trade clause. It will be tough to find fair value for Paul Pierce, and that's before factoring in the huge sentimental factors linking him to Boston. Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and Jason Terry — all of whom Ainge would likely consider trading — have limited value. A roster reset is possible, but Ainge won't sell off any of his pieces unless it helps Boston's future standing.
JAMEY: I like what Ainge is doing right now. He's not panicking-he's evaluating the situation, and waiting to see how the team will play with different guys running the show and an offense with more "movement." I say don't blow it up; it's kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Stand pat with the guys you have now, perhaps try and bring in another big & see how things go. Then blow it up over the summer (just kidding, I think)!
If the Celtics are going to fully rebuild, should Rondo be traded?
JOHN: I still don't think so. This is a point guard league and, for all his flaws, Rondo is still one of the best. Yes, you can trade him and try to get some picks and young talent, but Rondo IS young talent. And he's got a great contract. When people describe the types of players the Celtics should be getting in return for "blowing it up"… they're talking about guys like Rondo. I don't want to become the Bobcats here. Sorry, Charlotte fans.
JAY: No, for several reasons. First, the Celtics won't be able to fetch fair value for Rondo after he tore his ACL. His future's too questionable. Second, he's one of the NBA's best point guards. Third, he has one of the NBA's best contracts. Fourth, he's still just 26 years old.
Which makes his torn ACL now, when he should be entering the prime of his career, even more cruel.
Anybody got some mint chocolate chip ice cream, or a tissue?
JAMEY: That is the toughest question. I'm eager to see how he responds after this latest injury. Unfortunately, it's going to be at least 5 months until we do. The critics say that Rondo's attitude needs an adjustment, and that his defensive effort is not consistent. But you cannot take away from what he brings to the Celtics: pure electricity. When he is on the floor, he's a game-changer. At any moment he can explode for a slew of points, make a huge steal or set-up his teammates for easy buckets. He's one of a kind and one in a million. He thrives in the spotlight and enjoys facilitating. You have to keep him.
Thank you to everybody that participated. The Celtics play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, who defeated the Washington Wizards on Monday night.

Managed Care Won't Get Much Healthier
By Sam Stovall
Recently added to Standard & Poor's -- the list of industries with top S&P Relative Strength rankings -- are companies that operate managed-care organizations (MCOs), such as HMOs. Those outfits have been mostly immune to the ills affecting the overall market. Year-to-date through Feb. 28, the S&P Managed Health Care index fell 2.6%, vs. a 4.6% decline for the S&P Super 1500 (the combined S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P SmallCap 600). In 2002, the subindustry index rose 5.2%, vs. a 22.5% fall for the 1500.
I asked Phillip Seligman, S&P's managed-care analyst, if the group's inclusion in the Industry Momentum portfolio indicates that higher stock prices are to come. Despite his belief that managed care's long-term prospects are bright, Seligman thinks investors may believe that all the good news for 2003 is already out and that post-2003, performance won't be as good.
According to Seligman's most recent industry report, the group should continue to deliver strong earnings growth, fueled by premium price hikes in the 15% to 18% range. That should outpace medical-cost inflation, which is expected to be several percentage points lower.
However, the analyst notes that employers are taking stronger positions against rising premiums by cutting expensive options and reducing rate hikes in favor of higher co-payments -- a practice known as buydowns. Most MCOs are likely to experience increases in their medical-cost ratios, or the direct costs expended on health care as a percentage of total premium revenues. In light of buydowns, the premium-rate yields realized by MCOs can be up to three percentage points lower than the rate hikes, narrowing the gap with medical cost trends. Indications are that medical-cost trends will moderate.
Nevertheless, to attract accounts, MCOs have reduced their premium growth rate to more closely match medical-cost trends and have developed consumer-directed products that have helped reduce overall medical costs. These products have only recently been introduced and aren't widespread, so their effect on the industry hasn't been felt yet. Also, to offset rising medical-cost ratios, MCOs are aiming to reduce their selling, general, and administrative costs by improving information-technology systems to further automate transaction processing and consolidate service operations.
President Bush's vow to veto patients' rights bills being considered by the Senate because damage awards would be costly and would lead to higher premiums could be good news for the MCOs. And Congress has put managed-care reform on hold to focus on the war on terrorism and on the economy.
Seligman expects earnings of publicly traded MCOs to increase 15% to 20% on average in 2003, after a similar gain in 2002. Well-run MCOs with strong underwriting skills, good cost controls, and a stable of attractive products should be able to sustain this earnings growth for the longer term.
However, many investors, reflecting a view that the economy can only improve from here, may now wish to reinvest profits from the run-up enjoyed by these defensive stocks in the past few months into cyclical or higher- beta issues. In the past few months, Seligman has reduced his opinion on his top picks in the group, Anthem (ATH ), UnitedHealth (UNH ), and WellPoint (WLP ), to 4 STARS (accumulate) from 5 STARS (buy).
Industry Momentum List Update
For regular readers of the Sector Watch column, here's this week's list of the 11 industries in the S&P Super 1500 with Relative Strength Rankings of "5" (price performances in the past 12 months that were among the top 10% of the 116 industries in the S&P 1500) as of February 28, 2003.
*S&P's ranking system for the appreciation potential of stocks over a 6- to 12-month period: 5 STARS (buy), 4 STARS (accumulate), 3 STARS (hold), 2 STARS (avoid), 1 STAR (sell).

Moving on to the performance offering, we have the Amilo M4438. Lars had a sneak peak at this when he was trawling the hauls at CeBIT, but we've got a bit more dirt on it now.
Of course, the undoubted highlight remains the stunning 17in 1920x1200 widescreen display (graphics designers and photographers eat your hearts out) but we now know it is also one of most fully featured desktop replacements we have ever seen.
For a start it comes with an nVidia GeForce Go 6800 with 256MB VRAM, a 2.13GHz Pentium M processor and two SATA slots allowing two hard drives to be coupled together for extra storage. 160GB via two 80GB HDDs is the maximum at the moment, but FS says configurations of up to 240GB should be possible by the third quarter. Mind blowing.
Needless to say, you get a dual layer DVD rewriter and all the connectivity bells and whistles you could ever need: Firewire, 4x USB2.0, 10/100 Ethernet and fax modem, DVI-I connector, S-Video and SPDIF audio out. In addition the M4438 has an ExpressCard slot, multi-format memory card reader (SD, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO) and wireless. Sound should be good too as FS has managed to jam two stereo speakers inside along with a separate subwoofer. Naturally everything is all built upon a Sonoma base.
Weight is expected to be approximately 4.1Kg with battery life lasting two hours (lousy for a notebook, pretty good for a desktop replacement).
To get mouths watering further, FS says we can expect a Windows XP Media Centre version of the M4438 with built in TV tuner shortly after the launch of the standard machine. Start looking for this hard ass from September onwards, pricing will be dependant upon configuration.

Goats will go to great heights to eat — even Christmas trees.
I must admit, everything I know about goats I learned in kindergarten, plus the research on an occasional goat-related story in 2012. But just after Christmas, I saw a news story on an ABC-TV affiliate that opened my eyes — about how goats just love eating Christmas leftovers. Trees, that is.
As a matter of fact, goats will strip a Christmas tree of its ever-greens and soft bark in minutes. And as a bonus, the goats then have piney-fresh breath — similar to the lovely aroma of the pine-scent cardboard tree that keeps the inside of my car from smelling like me.
If you've ever been to petting zoo, you know how bad goat breath can be a real turnoff to the kiddies. That's because most show goats have a restricted diet of hay, goat chow, and an occasional child's coat sleeve. Throw a spent Christmas tree into a petting zoo, and you'll have a festive display of goat grazing plus, (BURP) breath like old tannenbaum himself.
Of course, I'm just imagining this spectacle. Sadly, most Christmas trees are spent long before petting zoo season. But if you have goats (and a lot of folks in Haywood County do), and you have neighbors with used Christmas trees cluttering up the yard (like so many of us do), then you have (if I remember my high school biology) a simbigioatic relationship.
In other words — got goats? Merry Christmas. Chances are, this time of year, you can reduce your feed bill.
Now I'm not suggesting that you dump your Christmas tree leavings in a neighboring goat farmer's field. I got in way too much trouble last year when I suggested honking at goats along the roadways to see if they were the fainting variety. I since learned my lesson.
But if you know someone who keeps goats, ask him if he wants your Christmas tree.
It's yet another way we can "eat local."
And you'll know your tree is going to a better place than a landfill.
I wish I would have know about this unique goat appetite for pine trees when I was in Florida. One post-Christmas, I asked my teenage boys to haul our shedding Christmas tree to the front yard for pickup by the city sanitation department, and then went to work. When I returned home, the tree was gone, so I didn't think a thing about it. Months later, as I was mowing the lawn, I noticed a dead tree in the back corner of our lot. It looked a lot like last year's Christmas tree. In fact, there was still some tinsel clinging to the remains.
I confronted the boys, who if they were mowing the lawn like they were supposed to, would never have been discovered.
Sure enough, they had missed the trash pickup and resourcefully, had hidden the tree in the outer perimeter of the yard.
If only we had goats when we lived in Miami. On second thought, they would have probably been mistaken for Chupacabra.

Never broken.
Book by: elbowelephant
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter5 (v.1) - Never Broken.
It was quite dark in the back of the van before 'Tim' as i knew him, flicked a switch on the roof of the van which turned a small light on in the middle of the roof.
I could now see quite clearly, there was a matress which almost filled the whole of the floor of the back of the van, a black douvet and a couple of pillows and some posters of half naked women on the inside walls of the back of the van, this had obviously never been touched by a girl ever before and was not the slightest appealing apart from the posters, which made me slightly aroused due to my attraction to all both genders.
I could now also see clearly what Tim looked like, he was wearing a black T-shirt (short sleeved) which barely hid his muscles that were bulging out of his shirt, he obviously worked out which scared me a little knowing that i had no chace of overpowering him if he tried anything, he wore blue, wripped, baggy jeans and black, shiny boots. He had short black hair and light grey eyes which were now staring at me.
He moved towards me and placed my hair behind my left ear, he then whispered into my ear with a calm but stern tone in his voice \"Don't you dare move a muscle.\" That short sentence was enough to bring fear into my system as i jerked my head to the side, facing away from him.
He then got a pair of scissors and started cutting away at the scarf that had been tyed around my arms and legs, circulation quickly rushed back into my hands and feet as they were now free, i knew that he was about 5 times the size of me but in a desperate attempt to escape, I jumped up and did a quick few steps towards the back of the van, ignoring the pain in my ankle, i reached the doors and desperatley yanked both handles trying to escape, to my suprise one of the handles clicked and openned the door, i took a long deep breath of the fresh, cold air before i felt a thick, cold, heavy chain wrap around my neck, pull me down to the floor of the van and drag me back towards the chained fence.
\"little help Mitch?\" Tim said in a now angry tone, Mich immediatley grabbed both ends of the chain through the fence either side of my neck and attached them together through the other side.
I now had no hope of moving again, Tim slammed the back door shut, then quickly moving towards me he openned a pack of cable ties, he tied each of my wrists to the bottom of the fence causing me to choke and have to raise my head upwards to be able to breath, i then felt him pulling both of my feet out to the side of me and somehow tying my feet to the floor of the van.
I soon felt very vulnerable and exposed as Tim had a full veiw of my black, laced thong that i was wearing, i jerked both of my legs in an attempt to close them and hide it.
Mitch soon realised that i was strapped in securley and loosened the chain a little so that i could now face Tim and breath with no difficulty.
I soon noticed Tim was sat across from me on the matress, he was staring down between my legs with delight, a second passed before he teasingly licked his lips and lowered one of his hands to his crotch, i followed his hand downwards with my eyes and noticed the huge bulge down one of the legs of his jeans, i gasped in shock and fear that he was going to rape me right there and then, this bulge was honestly bigger than a ginie pig if you were going to compare it.
He lightly rubbed up and down his bulge, making him breath heavy and close his eyes, he was quickly interupted by the the sound of a fast car zoom past the van, the van shortly afterwards, came to life and started to move, the force of the movement sent Tim flying backwards, causing him to hit his head on the back of the van, before i could realise, a huge grin had appeared on my face, pleased to know that Tim was now hurting, however my grin soon dissapeared as i noticed Tim's huge hand flying towards my face to slap me, the force of the slap left a bright red hand mark almost instantly on the side of my face followed my a pleased tone \"little bitch\" as Tim said directly to me.
Tim quickly lay down on the matress, bringing the douvet over his giant figure, his head placed (but not looking up) directly inbetween my legs on a few pillows, \"CLOSE THE BLIND WILL YOU?\" he shouted in a now tired tone of voice.
I heard a loud rattling noise as a black shutter was brought down on the drivers section of the van, shorty followed by the flicking of the light switch that caused the back of the van turn pitch
Tim was soon sleeping silently on his matress, the only noise i could hear was the purr of the engine as we quickly sped up the road that linked to my driveway, i guessed the 2 men, Ashley and Mitch were busy driving to wherever we were going to, too busy to speak, not that i would hear them anyway.
I soon felt my eyelids becoming heavy and i closed them, not wanting to drift into a sleep but taking it as the only thing that would pass the time, i let my mind take me into my dreams.

Celebrating the Belfast Telegraph's exciting compact revolution
The Belfast Telegraph will enter a new era in its 138-year history from next week as it changes to a different and more exciting new format.
Staff and senior executives from the newspaper — which was founded in 1870 — gathered at Crumlin Road Gaol yesterday afternoon along with many of Northern Ireland's leading business figures for the official launch of the new all-compact edition of the Belfast Telegraph.
The new format will go live across all editions throughout the day from next Wednesday.
Backed by a comprehensive television, radio and outdoor campaign, the new paper will comprise a 68 page main news section which includes comment, news review, politics, business, lifestyle and sport.
The five-edition daily paper will also be enhanced by a broad range of specialist supplements, including Business, Private and Public Sector Jobs, CarFinder, HomeFinder and a new 24 page sports pull-out every Monday.
Chief Executive of Independent News & Media (NI) Michael Brophy said that the move was the result of extensive market research.
"Independent News & Media began the compact revolution in quality newspapers with The Independent back in 2003," he said.
Video: The Belfast Telegraph goes Compact
"The Belfast Telegraph followed suit in 2005 with the introduction of the Saturday compact and, soon after, the morning edition.
"The adoption of a wholly compact format is a natural development for the company and it is a move which has been fully endorsed by our readership, as evidenced in extensive research carried out over the last year."
Mr Brophy said that in answers given to a range of questions about the content, format and style of the current Belfast Telegraph, 95% of respondents had given a "resounding thumbs-up" to its news content, while 80% responded positively to features and columnists.
"However, 52% of respondents said they didn't like the size of the paper and 53% actually stated they would prefer it to be smaller," he said.
"With strong support both externally and internally we are ready to enter a new era for Northern Ireland's leading daily newspaper, confident that we are shaping the Belfast Telegraph to meet our readers needs in every aspect."
The Belfast Telegraph has been printed as a broadsheet since September 1, 1870. The compact format was introduced in February 2005, with a new Saturday morning edition. This was quickly followed by the daily 'am' edition the following month.
From next Wednesday, March 25, all five daily editions of the Belfast Telegraph — including the City, Final, County and North West — will be printed in compact format.

If you don't venture outside of your confort zone you will never know. Join us and take a look.
There is no one smoking in TG. Poles and dancers? Hmmm, bring your own I guess.
Mark Berninghausen
Mark, maybe you could start a new forum here, "Tailgater Today" could be a "PG" rated summary of the most active topics.
I remember there being a lot of postings with correct grammar and spelling in Tailgater... that was really offensive.
Trying to think inside the box...
Mark got correct as well, so he has backed off! LOL
Regards, Barry
Where is "Tailgater"? -js
James Wagner
I think I can be proud of being the main instigator in the formation of Tailgater. Years ago it was getting so hard to sort out the posts about beekeeping from the rantings of the right wing, God fearing Obama haters that I complained. Or was it long before the Obama haters and back in the period when the right winger Bush lovers thought the war in Iraq was our countries crowning glory?
Just remember before you enter Tailgater... "You can't unsee something"
People are so afraid of the things they don't know. Tailgater is a discussion forum concerning topics folks don't like to talk about in other forums, such as Religion, Politics, and other things. This has to be hidden and segregated to protect the innocent?
Mark Berninghausen
Think of it like the Playboy Club and you need a key to get in.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Oh, you probably wouldn't want to get me started on those subjects. ;-)
Barry: Yes, I saw that. If "Tailgater" were where "Enter at your own risk" is, it would make more sense. Anyway, I went there and it pretty much went nowhere. Will give it another go.

Today we drove from Arches National Park to Colorado National Monument. When we got there we went in the Visitors Center to get our junior ranger books, and then we went back to the RV to have some lunch. We then drove to some trailheads. It was ten degrees cooler in Colorado than it was at Arches, so it was much easier to hike! The first hike that we did was called Cokes Ovens, and that hike was only 1 mile. Since we were hiking my Dad gave us a cherry powder to put in our drinks that made my lips so red! We saw a really pretty canyon when we got to the bottom, but it wasn't prettier than the Grand Canyon. Also we saw a smoke that was coming from a fire from one of the many fires that are currently burning in Colorado. One fire has already burned 200 houses in Colorado Springs.

Today when I woke up, everybody started to secure things so we could start our drive out of the Moab campsite. We were driving to Fruita, Colorado which was about 2 hours. When we arrived we went to the Visitors Center for the Colorado National Monument. Madison, Katelyn, Emma, and I looked around the little store and got out Junior Ranger books. The Junior Ranger books are full of activities such as crossword puzzles, fill in the blanks, and coloring pages. Once you finish them all you go back to the Visitors Center and get your Junior Ranger badge.
For a while we worked on our Junior Ranger books and looked around the little museum in the building. We all watched two 12 minute videos in the auditorium. One was a picture video and the other was a geology video. They were SO boring. So, we left the auditorium and worked on the activities again. We then left in the RV for two short hikes that we were going to do. The first short hike was called Coke Ovens. It was a mile walk roundtrip. Before we left for the hike we all got little packets to flavor our waters with. It was cherry flavor. Yum!
It didn't take long to get there at all. Once we all arrived there was a cliff that was fenced up. We looked over and there were many beautiful rock formations. On the walk back Uncle Mike was throwing rocks over our heads and they would smash down in front of us. At first it freaked us all out because we didn't know what it was. We found out it was him and we all laughed. Soon, Emma started throwing rocks also. She didn't exactly have great control over her throwing. One rock that she threw went literally went less than an inch by my ear! Ha ha. Yeah, not so much. I was just trying to live in the moment of still having my ear.
Once we got back to the RV we really got a good look at Emma. The drink we got had stained her lips bright red. It was all turning flakey and peeling off. She looked like a really funny lady that we saw at the Arches Visitor Center. The woman had very bad lipstick that peeled all of her lips. The last hike was called Otto's Trail. It was a quarter mile each way. At the end was a look out area where you could see more rock formations. Shortly after it we drove to out campsite. Guess what?!? There was A/C there!!! But it would have been okay if there wasn't because it was 10 degrees cooler than Arches. It was like HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! Madison, Katelyn, Emma, and I took showers! I felt clean for the first time in a few days! The showers were sooo nice. For dinner we had Mac and Cheese, French fries, and chicken. Oh, yeah, and salad for the vegetarians.
After dinner the girls and I played some board games. We played Set, Sequence, and Scrabble. I lost BAD in Set. Figures, the girls play it all the time. I won Sequence. Yay me! But lost again at Scrabble. Uncle Mike told us that tomorrow we were going to go to Dinosaur National Park. It was back in Utah. The drive was going to be 3 hours. So he said that he was going to leave early while we were all sleeping. He wouldn't be able to drive with the couch pulled out so I need to sleep in the back bed with Madison. Today was a good day and I can't wait to go see those dinosaur bones!

Royal Bank of Scotland has maintained its "buy" rating on
RBS says the revised guidance is not without risk as it depends on upcoming woodchip price negotiations, which look difficult given the reduced demand from Japan and the strength of the $A. Also, higher employee costs, due to a tight labour market and higher fuel costs, will also prove difficult for the company. The broker notes that upside could potentially stem from corporate activity, the sale of the forestry or automotive businesses or a sooner-than-expected business turnaround.

Ha ha I am doing just this right now!
I don't see how anyone could paint with a mouse!
They do however, and some damn good too, I reckon a drawing tablet is the way to go tho.
I find sketching with a pencil and scanning the sketch in the fastest. You can also cut and move, rotate and scale parts of your sketch which is handy.
If you have analogue painted alot you are bound to be frustrated in the beginning.
Slow down!
Give it time.
No 2 people use this medium the same just relax and enjoy exploring this very handy tool.
I used painter for a while and it aproximates different materials better, PS is pretty good tho.
Good luck and for crissakes have fun!

Washington | US President
He will speak at Jerusalem's convention centre, but not before the Knesset, Israel's parliament. And he will inspect a mobile missile-defence battery, though not one in the field, where they protect Israel from enemy rockets.
These, and a host of other scheduling decisions, have been made by the White House as it seeks to orchestrate every minute of Mr Obama's first visit to Israel as president.
Israeli officials have voiced mild disappointment Mr Obama is not addressing the Knesset, while Middle East experts have asked how he can visit the Church of the Nativity, one of Christianity's most sacred sites, without visiting the Western Wall, holy to Jews, or al-Aqsa Mosque, a holy site for Muslims.
"Any presidential visit to Israel is highly sensitive because Jerusalem is the crucible of three world religions, and everything about the Holy Land is highly symbolic and usually contested," said
The symbolism is even more central because the White House is playing down hopes Mr Obama will carry with him a new initiative to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
As is the case with every presidential trip, Mr Obama's itinerary is the product of exhaustive negotiations between the White House and the host government. The visit's brevity, 48 hours, and its strict security restrictions meant some ideas were rejected.
For Israelis, there is much to savour in the itinerary. Besides Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial that is obligatory for every visiting head of state, Mr Obama will lay a wreath at the grave of
The White House has opted for Mr Obama to deliver the major address of his visit at the Jerusalem International Convention Centre rather than the Knesset. A senior official said the setting reflected his interest in reaching out to younger Israelis, though given the Knesset's reputation for rambunctious debate, Israeli officials said the White House also worried about Mr Obama being heckled.
The centrepiece of Mr Obama's message to Israelis, officials said, would be that he supported Israel, both in its clashes with neighbours and with a nuclear-minded Iran.

Sophomore hitter Brook Sedore and freshman hitter Siki Zarkovic each put down 16 kills as No. 12 Hawaii kept its slim playoff hopes alive Friday night when turning back unranked Pacific 25-22, 25-21, 19-25, 25-23 in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation volleyball match at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Sophomore middle Taylor Averill added 11 kills with no errors in 14 swings and sophomore opposite JP Marks had 14 digs for the Warriors (8-14, 7-12 MPSF).
Hawaii ran its record to 41-1 against Pacific and 22-0 in Honolulu.
For the last-place Tigers (6-14, 3-13) Taylor Hughes had a match-high 19 kills and Adam Troy 16.
The Tigers out-blocked the Warriors 13.5-3.5 with Christian Ahlin in on six and Hughes five. Hawaii had no blocks in the final two sets.
Pacific avoided the sweep when rallying in Set 3. The Tigers trailed 12-7 but outscored Hawaii 17-7 to force Set 4.
The Warriors trailed for most of Set 4 before taking their first lead at 15-14. A block of Zarkovic put the Tigers back on top briefly at 22-21 but kills by Zarkovic, Marks and Jace Olsen gave Hawaii match point at 24-22.
Mathhew Houlihan's fifth kill held off one match point only to have Peter Edwards' service error end it after 2 hours and 21 minutes.
The teams meet again Saturday at 7 p.m.

In Case of Emergency number: an emergency contact number stored in the address book of a mobile phone
'The growing practice of entering an ICE number has been encouraged by emergency responders as an easy, simple-to-implement tool in rapidly identifying and assisting those needing emergency care.'Grand Forks Herald 6th August 2005
'West Australians are being urged to store an emergency contact number in their mobile phones to assist authorities in the event of a disaster or accident … The "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) number would allow police and rescue workers to quickly alert family members if someone had been involved in a serious accident.'Melbourne Herald Sun 29th July 2005
if all mobile phone users carried an ICE number … paramedics and emergency services would have a straightforward way of ascertaining their identity and any vital personal information by talking to a nominated person
In the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in London on July 7th 2005, a new term hit the spotlight, its path to recognition in part assisted by widespread e-mail circulation across the globe: the ICE number. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. An ICE number is therefore the telephone number of a friend or relative who should be contacted in an emergency situation. The number can be identified in a mobile phone address book by the prefix ICE, as in for example ICE Mum, ICE Chris, etc.
If all mobile phone users carried an ICE number, should they be victims of an accident, paramedics and emergency services would have a straightforward way of ascertaining their identity and any vital personal information by talking to a nominated person. Phone users could have more than one ICE number, storing them in priority order as ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc.
The ICE number is the brainchild of British paramedic Bob Brotchie, employed by the East Anglian Ambulance NHS Trust. In the course of his experience, Brothchie had discovered that, though the majority of accident victims carry no next of kin details, over 80% carry a mobile phone. Reflecting on some difficult situations he had dealt with, where victims were unable to speak through injury, it occurred to him that a uniform approach for identifying an emergency contact on a mobile phone would make life easier for everyone. As well as the quick identification of a contact, emergency services could be sure that the number related to a person who the accident victim would want to be contacted in such a situation, someone who could for instance give consent for emergency treatment or provide vital information about an individual's medical history.
In April 2005, Brotchie launched a campaign to promote the concept of ICE numbers, backed by mobile phone company Vodafone and endorsed by Falklands War veteran Simon Weston. It wasn't until the more recent terrorist attacks in London however, that the idea of ICE numbers really began to take off, rapidly spreading across to the USA, Australia, and throughout the world. Global exposure of the concept occurred practically overnight, with international media coverage and a large-scale e-mail campaign helping to spread the word.
Mobile phone companies are now being encouraged to build an ICE contact as a standard address book feature on future models of mobile phones.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am complaining about the wireless phone service we don't have. We live in a fairly remote area, but the surrounding areas have wireless phone service. I have complained to Verizon on the local level, and through Customer Services. To get any service, we have to get into the car and go two and a half miles away from the house, so I think one could call this a "dead" zone.
All they (Verizon) will tell me is that "they are very sorry", but I still am paying a monthly fee, and will get charged $175 if I discontinue a two year contract.
I have gone on the cheapest plan they have and don't come anywhere near the 200 minutes they GIVE me a month.
What I want done is that they would let me switch to a "pay as I go" plan. We like the fact that we have a phone with us when we travel. We live 30 miles from Doctors, and most of the stores where we shop.

When you got the phone they gave you 30 days to test it out, and return it with no termination fees if it didn't work out. Apparently you are outside of that now?
Did it really take more than 30 days to discover it didn't work at your home? This sounds like whining to me. The fact you didn't cancel soon enough is not the fault of the carrier. Take your responsibility for you own actions here and move on.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

If he still smells after shampooing, your vet will have shampoos for smelly things like skunks. That should do the trick. Must be some powerful poop! BOL

Try a good brushing with a soft bristled brush. May take a couple of days.

"Skunk Off" should work. I get mine from the vet. Expensive but it is the BEST alternative. With a small dog it should last thru a number of encounters.
Sporting dogs LOVE poop. Instinctive to hide their scent. I guess smelling like a pile of poop makes sneaking up on pery easier?

We know that busy schedules call for simplified beauty routines, which is why we're big fans of multi-purpose beauty products like Laura Geller Beauty's Spackle Tinted Primer. Not only does this primer keep our foundation in place around the clock, but it also works as a brilliant bronzer. The lightweight formula is also oil-free, making it suitable for all skin types. It's fair to say we're hooked.
Did I mention I love this stuff? I know it's a primer, but I love it just by itself! It's light weight and non-greasy, and it gives my skin just the right amount of sun-kissed glow that I don't even need to bother applying foundation. It's a must have product for me!5
I really like the look of this primer either applied beneath my foundation or mixed with my foundation to deepen it a bit and give a nice glow.
The texture is very nice on the skin, not sticky or oily feeling at all, and the product has no added fragrance which I really appreciate.
Very pretty worn alone too, it can spread into a subtle sheer layer that can accommodate a wide range of skin tones.
I received this in one of my birch boxes and I fell in love. I immediately purchased the full size. I love how it is has a double duty and gives my pale skin color while priming it. It is super light weight and spreads evenly. It is not at all oily and just feels like a light more gel like cream that disappears into your skin once applied.5
