Mom and Dad picked me up from the vet today. I stayed there overnight while they went to the shore. I'm still a special needs puppy with my bum leg, so I stayed where they would respect doctor's orders. No better place than with the doc!
The good news is that I can start going for short walks! Up to 3 times a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time. Maybe, I won't drive mom and dad nuts with my pent up energy. Mom also said something about her finally getting a few pounds off since she wasn't walking me, but I don't know what pounds are. Oh well! If it makes her happy, I hope it happens.
The bad news is that I still have to take medicine for pain, I can't run and I can't jump! Where's the fun in that?!!! I guess beggers can't be choosers.
I can't wait for the sun to go down so I can go for a walkie! Finally!
Well, I gotta rest up so I'm in top form for it!
Well, things have been NUTS!!!
Indy was doing OK. On Sunday, she was starting to act more lethargic and was reluctant to eat. We took her temp then and it was normal. So we decided to wait and see.
We then got distracted from her issues when I was suddenly diagnosed with an infected, impacted wisdom tooth on Tuesday, that had to be surgically removed Wednesday. I was in too much pain to even notice that she was getting worse.
Wednesday night I was well enough to spend some time with her and knew something was wrong. She turned her head away from everything I offered, she would even growl a little if we bothered her too much. I took her temp again and it was 104. Since she was already on antibiotics, it had to be serious.
Our vet was closed, so we rushed her to a hospital in DE. They ended up taking off her cast. Her surgery site didn't show any outward signs of infection, but the cast's ridges on the inside, had made 4 or 5 small open wounds on her leg about 2 inches above her paw. She seemed relieved just to have it off.
That doctor changed her antibiotic and added another pain pill in addition to the one she was taking. She said that there were some other tests they could do, but she was stable enough to wait until Thursday morning for a follow-up with our vet. I got the antibiotic in her,but the other 2, not a chance. Her appetite was too poor to put it in a treat and she's been so grumpy with us(no one else-she MUST hate us by now) we were too afraid that she would bite us if we tried to open her mouth and shove it down her throat.
She seemed a little better Thursday morning. We had to drop her off at our vet's office so they could do bloodwork.
It turned out that she had a reaction to the tape used in her cast. Apparently, she was twisting her leg in the cast because of the irritation and cutting her leg on the cast from the inside. It's not her knee. Her temp had dropped while at the office. She's on 2 antibiotics now and 2 pain meds and has to be on a bland diet.
She would just refuse to eat.I tried 3 variations of chicken and rice-chicken breast and rice I made myself, and 2 different kinds of canned food, but she won't eat it. Her lack of appetite has made it nearly impossible to give her her medication. I've tried everything: pill pockets, peanut butter, cheese, hot dogs, kong paste, baby food, turkey. I did introduce her to yogurt and managed to hide one drug in it and she ate that. She also is able to figure out immediately when I'm slipping her meds in something and then refuses that food the next time I offer it to her.
I've been at my wits end because not only does she refuse to eat, but the amount of medication I'm able to get into her is declining. In her present state of mind, prying her mouth open to give pills is not a good idea. I also tried the tube thingy that is supposed to shoot pills to the back of their throat(joke and a half-she was royally p.o.'d after that fiasco). I'm also wasting more pills than I'm getting into her with all of these attempts to hide them and they get ruined.
She finally ate a little chicken cat food this morning and her yogurt with her 1 med hidden in it. She finally ate a convincing amount of food tonight. After we got home from yet one more shopping trip to try and find things to tempt her, she had her 1st bowel movement in several days. Since she wasn't eating, she didn't have to, but I'm thinking the yogurt got her stomach reved up again. After that she ate 2 small helpings of raw extra-lean ground beef!
She would have eaten more I think, but the doc said to keep the meals small but frequent. I'm still only able to get one drug in her, but it's one of the most important ones. I'm not going to sweat the pain meds since she's resting comfortably and getting around pretty well without any complaints. I think the original plan was to stop them Monday anyway. Her cast is off, so her abrasions and tape reaction sites that caused her fever to begin with, are healing up nicely.
Well, tomorrow's it. ACL surgery day. My daddy started freaking out a few hours ago and getting cold feet about doing it. I'm freaking out because I haven't been allowed to eat since 8:30 this morning and I stopped getting water at 8:30 tonight. Mom is trying to mentally prepare herself to get through tomorrow first, then tomorrow night without me home and finally, my long recovery.
Guess she better get the Xanax ready!

Uh-oh! It seems i have been tagged! for everyone i tag just scroll down, rules are at the bottom. Well here goes nothing...!
1. Sometimes my mom feeds me little pieces of ham when shes making ham sandwiches... i love it. :3
2. I like to sit behind the laptop screen and jump out onto the keypad and scare meowmy.
3. I sit on top of the hamster cages and watch them for really long periods of time C:
4. I was originally going to be named jack sparrow, but my meowmy decided that in a few years she would regret it, so we settled on Jax.
5. I growl and scratch anything that comes near me when im eating.
6. My first toy at my furever home was a heffalump stuffed animal that my meowmy gave to me off of her own shelf. I bring him everywhere with me.
7. I like to watch my family play the wii.
The "Tag! You're It!" Rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write in their own diary about their seven things and the rules of the "Tag! You're it!" game. You also need to choose seven other cats to tag and list their names. Don't forget to leave each cat you tagged a comment (Catster Paw Mail) that you tagged them and instructions to read your diary for details of game play. Have fun tagging and meeting new kitties (hint: check recently updated diaries to find some kitties who haven't been tagged that might have fun playing the game.)!!!
My Seven Catsters:
Jadzia Dax, Arwen, Cinder, Toby, Kia, K.C., Flash
Guess what!?!?!
I got diary of the day! My broffur Philly will be so jealous.
Its certainly exciting to be noticed!
Thanks Catster :3
So today Mom told me it was time to move out.
I guess at four months im old enough to get a bachelor pad.
So we drove over to the pet store and looked at condos for big man cats like me.
We found one with 3 levels! I was happy mom let me buy it.
When we got home i filled my new little room with my favorite stuffed mousies and jingleballs and i sat on top of my new 3 level condo like a king. Mommy put it in the basement and i was soo excited to sleep in it! I was a man with a plan and a new home to make smell like me. When the lights went out i sat in my new little home, but when i looked down.... the floor looked so far away....
3 levels is a far way down.
I decided if i didnt move about a lot i wouldnt fall, and tried to fall asleep.
When my eyes shut my new manly independent brain had a dream about playing with mommy and a big ball of yarn. I was so happy and chased after the never ending string. But then the yarn ball ran out and with the end of the string i reached the end of the earth. As I fell off the end i had a feeling that just this once i wouldn't land on my feet.
I suddenly woke up and the basement seemed darker than it did when mom had the halloween party (I'm allergic to a few of her friends so i had to spend the night down in the basement)
"maybe i dont have to be a man yet..." I thought to myself. I mean, i could still have my own 3 level condo and sleep with mommy, right?
I crawled down each level of my home and crept to the stairs. i walked up the first floor of the house, then the second.
I heard mommys snoring and knew i was in the right place, not off the edge of the earth.
I crawled into bed and headbutted her a few times to let her know she didnt need to be afraid anymore because i was there.
I laid down on the bottom of the bed, and this time, the string never ran out :)

The quote "Faith Based on Now" posted January 18, 2010, where Chögyam Trungpa speaks of a mistaken view of faith, which views people almost like rats in a scientific experiment, brought this joke in an e-mail from a reader:
Two rats are in a lab in their respective cages, an old rat, which has been there for a long time, and a young rat, which has just arrived a few weeks ago. The old rat has been observing the young one, silently. One night, when everybody's gone home and the lab is quiet, the old rat turns to the young one and asks: "How'r ya doin meyete?" (This is supposed to take place in Australia).
"Pretty good, hey! Thanks for askin" says the young rat, a bit surprised to hear the old rat which had been so silent.
"Got everthin' you need?" continues the old rat.
"Yeah, yeah, no problems whatsoever," the young rat replies, not knowing what much else to say and looking quite content.
The old rat is in a talkative mood. He goes on asking: "And how's young Doc Skinna treatin' ya"?
"Oh I've got him wrapped 'round me little finga," says the young rat with beaming eyes.
"You know, when I ring the bell, he brings me food."
The story says that the old rat burst out laughing then went silent forever.
Thanks again for the quotes.
Kind regards
Sydney (Australia)

Dalston-based tech start up Roli raised the money from Balderton, Firstmark, Index and Universal Music.
Between them, previous investments have included LoveFilm, Betfair, King.com - the makers of Candy Crush - and Pinterest.
It is a signal that tech start-ups specialising in hardware are on the rise.
Roli's first product is the Seaboard Grand, a silicone-covered keyboard that lets musicians slide between and bend notes, which won the Design Museum's 2014 product design of the year award.
The investment will be used to launch a host of new products, from modular drum machines to guitars - and, perhaps, eventually in computer peripherals and human prosthetics.
CEO Roland Lamb told Sky News: "While in the immediate term we are completely focused on building great music products, more broadly the Seaboard is a great example of expanding this bandwidth of interaction.
"It builds off of a high-capacity activity - playing the piano - and adds extra dimensions of input capacity and rich tactile feedback."
The investment is fillip for East London's growing hardware scene.
Silicon Roundabout came to prominence as a hub for web businesses.
Increasingly, though, start-ups are not building websites or networks - they are making real things.
Blaze sells smarter bike lights, Makie Labs creates 3D printed toys, Technology Will Save Us sells DIY gadget sets, Kovert is working on designer wearable tech such as smart rings, and Kano is selling computer kits based on the most successful UK hardware start-up of recent times, the Raspberry Pi.
Sugru is a new type of self-setting rubber - a sort of Blu-Tack you can use to repair or modify your belongings.
Newspaper Club lets people design, print and distribute their own physical newspaper, made from dead trees.
Berg is the maker of the Little Printer, the first in a range of products and services built around the "internet of things" - the network of internet-connected objects, whether a fridge or a set of keys.
Venues like London Hackspace, Here East and Digits2Widgets offer free or cheap 3D printers and other maker tools.
It was recently announced that the Maker Faire - a great exhibition of DIY and professionally made physical products - will be coming to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
In 2011, internet entrepreneur and investor Marc Andressen declared that "software is eating the world".
Now hardware is.

Last week was pretty uneventful, including our weekend at the cabin. We did get to swim Wednesday and Thursday which was great! Friday we headed to the cabin and mom and dad cut the grass as usual Friday evening and I just hung out on the patio. We did sit outside that evening around the fire pit cause it was a beautiful night. I stood guard at the corner of the cabin again just in case those black snakes tried to come back, but we haven't seen them in a while. I also had to keep tabs on Gizmo because she has now taken to going back and forth between the front porch and patio and mom said it's my job to be sure she doesn't go any further. I'm on it!
Saturday we went for a few walks and did get to go swimmy for a short period under the small bridge we go passed on one of our walks. It was nice to cool off cause it was pretty hot, especially after being at the property early. Which btw is really flat! They still need to flatten it a little bit further out, but mom and dad staked out all the buildings and I was in the house:) Well, not really, but I was inside the stakes that represent our future house:) Mom did take us for a nice walk through the woods and I'm glad I get to walk cause I can check things out, but I do miss my Kubota rides. Ever since mom got that Fitbit thing she wears on her wrist, places we use to drive the Kubota we now walk. I know it's better for our health, but come on mom, a ride every now and though won't hurt...please! Saturday night we just hung out inside cause it rained. Sunday was pretty much the same as usual. We hung out for a while then packed up and headed home in the evening.
This week we went for a visit to Manor Care Tuesday evening and everyone was happy to see us. I even got to show off for a couple new people on the third floor. Yes, I know, I'm such a ham:) I have search training on Sunday and mom said it is supposed to be hot which I'm not thrilled about, but mom has plenty of fans and bought a swamp cooler for me to wear to help keep me cool too. Other than that, I don't think I have anything else happening. I'm hoping we get to swim this week since we are home and it is supposed to be hot all week. I'm sure we will cause mom is good about that since she knows how much we love it!
Oh yeah, I did forget that dad's chair broke last week and he said it was all my fault, but honestly I don't buy it. Mom and dad have recliners and Chloe and I like to lay under them when they have them up. Mom says we're acting on instinct and we think we're in our "caves". In fact, before mom puts her chair down she'll say "out of the cave" and we know that means to get out from under the chair. Well, dad refuses to do that cause he said he shouldn't have to say it and we shouldn't be stupid enough to be under there in the first place. Well, last week he put his chair down and yes, I was under it. Fortunately for me I didn't get hurt, but dad's chair sure did. It was leaning to the side really bad and it wouldn't close too good. Dad said I broke it, but I think it was a long time coming cause he's up and down a lot and it wore things down and it just so happened that the time I'm under it the stupid thing broke. Mom defended me and she let's dad in her chair til his is fixed and makes sure to keep an eye out and tells dad to let her know before he puts down the chair so it doesn't happen again. Dad says it's my fault so I'll say sorry, but really it wasn't.
Well, that's about all I have for now. I don't know when this will get posted cause Dogster is having so many issues lately, but hopefully they get them fixed soon and we can all get back to having some Dogster adventures for all to see!
HOT! HOT! HOT! That about sums up how my weekend was. It was so hot that we spent most of it in the cabin in the AC and that stinks! I like being outside, but when it's so hot, we really can't enjoy things. Poor mom and dad had a lot of grass to cut so they had to be outside Friday when we got there and most of Saturday. Mom cut part of Clair and Velma's place since Clair has been at the hospital with Velma every day and can't get it done. I did hang with mom for a while Saturday, but then dad took us dogs with him to the property and we got to be in the AC in the truck which was nice. Oh yeah, you should see the property. They finally have the excavation done and it's as flat as a football field. If it wasn't so dang hot outside, I would have had fun chasing Chloe all over the place! Maybe next weekend it won't be as hot and we can play there for a while. No worrying about holes or tripping on corn stalks:) We did get to go to the swimmy hole for a little later in the afternoon and I enjoyed that a lot.
Sunday morning we went for a walk in the woods before the temps got too high and that was fun, but we didn't see any critters for me to chase:( I guess they were all already hiding in their shaded places trying to keep cool as the day got hotter. I'll sure be happy when this hot spell is over that is fur sure! Other than the walk, we didn't do much cause it was so hot and we headed home around 4pm and just chilled some more after we got home.
Mom said we don't have any visits this week, so she'll try to let us swim as much as possible as long as no storms. That's been the major problem and why we don't get to swim. Til mom gets home in the evenings, all the storms come and then we're stuck in the house:( Paws crossed that they hold off until we get to swim and rain later at night.
Well, that's about all I have for now. Mom still wants to post pix, but Dogster isn't working right so as soon as they get things squared away, look for our pix from NC. Have a good one!
Well, we returned from my first vacation and it was quite an experience. Mom said she felt bad cause there really wasn't anything too exciting for us, but I didn't mind and enjoyed just going to different places even if we didn't do much at those places. I'm not going to go into major blow by blow detail and just give you the summary of each stop.
We left on Saturday, June 28, and had a the VERY long drive to North Carolina. We left in the middle of the night (3am) I had no clue what was up cause we never did this before, but mom had our beds in the backseat of the truck so I just curled up and slept most of the way. We did stop several times at rest stops and it was nice to stretch our legs and get drinks. I wasn't thrilled that I had to stay on my leash, but it was nice visiting with all the people who wanted to see us. We did have one stop in West Virginia that mom let us off leash to play a while cause there was a huge area and no people around. It was a much needed break. We finally arrived in Hendersonville, NC in the afternoon and it was a really nice place. We had the entire downstairs of a big house and a yard, two decks, a gazebo and a swim spa, but no doggies allowed in swin spa:( We relaxed for a couple hours then went to Joann and Pratt's place to visit. They have a farm with two horses and lots of room to run. They are really nice and really liked us. Apparently they use to have an Aussie many years ago and haven't had a dog since, but by the time we left, they were talking about getting another one cause they loved us so much!
We were in Hendersonville for 3 days. During that time we spent a lot of time at Joann and Pratts and met a lot of people. They were all really nice, but there were these two twin boys, Josh and Jacob who pushed both Chloe and I to our limit. At first we had a great time playing and I even did some search and rescue training with them (which by the way mom said I did pretty good at), but then after a while they would not give us a break! I would hide behind a chair and Josh would always find me. He did this thing where he'd hold his breath and I didn't like it at all. I tried to tell him a couple of times, but when he kept doing it, I finally pushed him with my nose and he stopped. Jacob wasn't too bad and did leave us alone when his parents told him too. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit there a lot. We even helped Joann with the horses and went for a walk in the vineyard which is beside their farm. One day we went to Doug and Marcia's house and we met their German Shepherd, Mojo. Mom was all worried about me being mean, when in fact it was Chloe who acted up. Yeah, you heard me right Chloe. We were all in shock at her behavior. Mojo didn't so anything to us, but Chloe went ballistic on him and was snarling, growling and barking like I've never seen her. I went over to her to be sure she wasn't possessed or something, but she was fine with me. Mom thinks she acted that was cause she had two bad experiences with Shepherds and unfortunately Mojo got the pent up wrath of Chloe. The last day in Hendersonville we went to Main Street which was really fun. We got to go in a pet store and pick out our own treats. I mean we literally reached in and picked out our goodies:) We also got ice cream and even went into an antique store, can you believe that?!?! Mom was very nervous that we would bump into something and break it, but we were on our best behavior and it was fun going into stores that we never were allowed back home. NC is very pet friendly and there were not many places we weren't allowed to go. Oh yeah, we went to the railroad station too and it was VERY hot that time so we were only out for a few minutes, but it was cool to see where Nanny Waple use to play when she was a kid. Mom took some pix from Hendersonville so look for her to post them.
Our next stop was on Tuesday in Mocksville. This was a short stop and I'm glad cause it was VERY hot! It was even hot in the hotel at first. Dad cranked the AC full blast when we got in the room and check out the pix mom will post to see how I was taking advantage of it too. Anyway, we visited with a friend of dad's who he use to work with. His name was Micah and his wife is Amber and they have 4 kids. But you know what? These kids were so well behaved you didn't even know they were around. I felt bad cause they really wanted us to play, but it was so hot I couldn't even handle laying still let alone run around and play. They had a couple dogs (Scout and Tracker), but they didn't bother us and they have goats and chickens and us dogs seemed to upset them all cause they didn't know us so we weren't allowed around them much. Cuz their dogs don't go in the house, dad didn't want us in either, but thank goodness mom knows me as well as she does. We were on the porch in the shade, but we're use to being in AC all day so even in the shade I was having issues. Mom could see I was really stressed and asked if we could come in and lay inside the house on the floor and we were allowed. Unfortunately, I was already overheated and got sick a little, but mom got me outside in time so I didn't make a mess. After that, we were allowed inside the rest of the visit, but had to be on our very best behavior and believe me, we were!
Wednesday we headed to Belvidere and that drive seemed to take furever, but we finally arrived and got to see our friend Pat. He's the one who comes to the cabin at least once a year for a visit. It was nice to be in a house with more area, rather than that hotel room. This leg of the trip was nice and relaxing cause we didn't have to run around with mom and dad everywhere and could just chill at Pat's. This trip was so hot that honestly, without having a pool or someplace to swim, I was happy staying inside. Mom did take us out after the sun went down and it cooled a little to play ball and frisbee. The most excitement we had of the trip was Thursday night. The hurricane was coming up the coast and although we were 60 miles inland we still had rain and wind. That evening we were watching TV when all of a sudden everyone's cell phones went off with warnings. The next thing I know, mom was in total meltdown, I mean TOTAL! I never saw mom like I did Thursday night. Apparently there was a tornado in our area and we were in the middle of the flattest place ever with no basement to hide in. Mom made us go into the bathroom with her and we both stayed with her the entire time. At one point mom really freaked out and we went into the bathtub. I'll admit I was a little nervous cause if you remember we were in a tornado a few years back at a Dock Dog competition, but I didn't panic like mom. I did know something was up cause I could sense it and when I thought the tornado was right over us I jumped on mom and pushed her down in the tub. We were in the bathtub for what felt like furever, but finally dad came and got us and said all was okay. Thank goodness! That was some excitement for sure and I hope we don't have to go through that anytime soon. We didn't get to see any fireworks for July 4th cause of the hurricane:(
Saturday we headed home. We didn't have to make as many stops cause it wasn't as far, but still far enough for me. It was a nice trip, but I gotta tell you, I was happy to be home and out of the car! Needless to say, that night I slept in bed all night long and loved every minute of it!
Sunday we had a house full of people. Jan's family was in from Germany and Emmie wanted to come swimming so there was 5 people. Then of course the entire Waple clan came over too so we had like 16 people at one point. Mom did let us swim for a while, but because I kept trying to bite Emmie's plastic ball and kept jumping on people in the pool, mom made us stay in the house. I know it was all my fault and I can't go around jumping on people, but I was just so excited! She did let us back out after some of the people left and we got to swim for a while with mom and dad.
Monday was back to the usual routine. Mom and dad both back to work and us dogs just lazing around the house. The weather is still hot as ever so not much walking right now. Tuesday was another bad storm and we were back in the bathroom with mom. There wasn't a tornado this time, but mom wasn't taking any chances just in case.
Last night we went to see our friends at Manor Care and we told them all about our trip. They were happy to hear about our adventures and mom showed them some pix too.
This weekend we're headed to the mountains and I can't wait! I really miss the mountains when we're gone too long. The weather is suppose to be hot again, but at least we have a swimmy hole we can keep cool in:)
So now I'm finally all caught up with my adventures. I hope everyone had a good 4th of July and made it through the hurricane and all the storms!

Chapter 24
ONE fine, frosty Sunday in November, Frances and I took a long walk; we made
the tour of the city by the Boulevards; and, afterwards, Frances being a little tired,
we sat down on one of those wayside seats placed under the trees, at intervals,
for the accommodation of the weary. Frances was telling me about Switzerland;
the subject animated her; and I was just thinking that her eyes spoke full as
eloquently as her tongue, when she stopped and remarked--
"Monsieur, there is a gentleman who knows you."
I looked up; three fashionably dressed men were just then passing--Englishmen,
I knew by their air and gait as well as by their features; in the tallest of the trio I at
once recognized Mr. Hunsden; he was in the act of lifting his hat to Frances;
afterwards, he made a grimace at me, and passed on.
"Who is he?"
"A person I knew in England."
"Why did he bow to me? He does not know me."
"Yes, he does know you, in his way."
"How, monsieur?" (She still called me "monsieur"; I could not persuade her to
adopt any more familiar term.)
"Did you not read the expression of his eyes?"
"Of his eyes? No. What did they say?"
"To you they said, 'How do you do, Wilhelmina, Crimsworth?' To me, 'So you
have found your counterpart at last; there she sits, the female of your kind!'"
"Monsieur, you could not read all that in his eyes; He was so soon gone."
"I read that and more, Frances; I read that he will probably call on me this
evening, or on some future occasion shortly; and I have no doubt he will insist on
being introduced to you; shall I bring him to your rooms?"
"If you please, monsieur--I have no objection; I think, indeed, I should rather like
to see him nearer; he looks so original."
As I had anticipated, Mr. Hunsden came that evening. The first thing he said
"You need not begin boasting, Monsieur le Professeur; I know about your
appointment to -- College, and all that; Brown has told me." Then he intimated
that he had returned from Germany but a day or two since; afterwards, he
abruptly demanded whether that was Madame Pelet-Reuter with whom he had
seen me on the Boulevards. I was going to utter a rather emphatic negative, but
on second thoughts I checked myself, and, seeming to assent, asked what he
thought of her?
"As to her, I'll come to that directly; but first I've a word for you. I see you are a
scoundrel; you've no business to be promenading about with another man's wife.
I thought you had sounder sense than to get mixed up in foreign hodge-podge of
this sort."
"But the lady?"
"She's too good for you evidently; she is like you, but something better than you--
no beauty, though; yet when she rose (for I looked back to see you both walk

Get out the paint
6. Paint the exposed areas with two coats of accent paint, letting it dry between coats.
7. Once completely dry, remove tape. Touch up paint with a small paintbrush.
*To create a precise pattern, follow our directions, but you can achieve a similar look by creating a zigzag pattern with 1- and 2-in. painter's tape, alternating widths side by side continuously across both tabletops, then taking off the 1-in. tape strips and applying accent paint (two coats) to the exposed space. Painter's tape comes in several widths (1 in., 1 ½ in., 2 in., etc.), so you can vary your design as you like.

Q'eswachaca: The Inca's Straw Bridge
Every year, the Q`eswachaca bridge is rebuilt, keeping alive an Inca tradition. Building this bridge made out of Puna grassland, called Ichu, was the only way settlers could cross the rivers in their time. This used to be part of a network of bridges in the Cuzco region and now is the only one of its kind, which exists thanks to the local villagers.
Andean women harvested, wove and built 6 thick ropes, which connect them to the rest of the villages at almost 13,000 feet over the Apurimac River. Four of the six ropes are placed in the bottom, and two are used as the straps. Each one is made out of thousands of thinner cords skillfully woven by women who passed this technique down from generation to generation.
However, ladies aren't permitted to participate in the rope renewal process; according to tradition, men are responsible for the dangerous job of changing the old bridge ropes for new ones, which are secured to Eucalyptus tree trunks at each side.
During the Incan period, an intricate system of trails were developed to connect the Empire, known as the Qhapaq Ñan, and these bridges were critical to cross the perilous canyons and rivers. The Incas were truly ahead of their time, developing a complex technique centuries before modern bridges were built.
The weaving and construction of the Q`eswachaca straw bridge can be admired every year on the 2nd Sunday of June in Canas, located three hours outside Cuzco. The celebration lasts 5 days, where you can experience first-hand this unique annual tradition and incredible culture.

Nickel Rout Seen Easing With Output Costs Breached: CommoditiesBloomberg News
Nickel, the worst-performing industrial metal in the past year, is bottoming as prices fall below the costs of producing cheaper substitutes, curbing supply as consumption rebounds.
Prices have fallen 12 percent in the past year and are now below the cost for China to produce nickel pig iron, or NPI, a substitute derived from lower-grade ores, at an average $15,700 a metric ton, Barclays Plc says. Nickel, which traded at $15,446, will go as low as $14,500 this year, the median of 12 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg shows.
The metal retreated in four of the past six years as China responded to shortages by adding NPI output that now accounts for 18 percent of world supply, from 3 percent in 2006. Slumping prices may slow the expansion just as demand accelerates at the fastest pace in three years and orders to withdraw record stocks from warehouses reach more than six times the average over the past decade. Nickel will trade at $18,100 in the fourth quarter, or 17 percent more than now, the median of 25 estimates shows.
"You have less efficient producers in China, so they are more prone to cut back on production if they see prices fall much," said Alexandra Knight at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Melbourne, the best forecaster for industrial metals tracked by Bloomberg over the eight quarters. "We are still forecasting growth of 8 percent for China in 2013. That should be supportive of the base metals market over the year ahead."
Trading Partners
Nickel fell 9.5 percent this year on the London Metal Exchange as the LMEX index of six metals dropped 10 percent. The decline compares with a 6.2 percent retreat in the Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 commodities and a 4.6 percent gain in the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities. The U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge against six major trading partners, rose 3.4 percent and Treasuries returned 0.6 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Global output will exceed demand for a third year as China makes the most ever nickel pig iron, or NPI, a substitute for the purer metal traded in futures, Morgan Stanley estimates. Production will outpace demand by 88,000 tons this year, or more than seven months of U.S. consumption, Barclays estimates. While that's unchanged from last year, the projected surplus is almost nine times more than the bank was forecasting as recently as October. New projects from Sherritt International Corp. in Madagascar to Vale SA in New Caledonia are also adding supply as Chinese NPI output expands for at least the eighth consecutive year, Morgan Stanley says.
Stainless Steel
Both are the consequence of prices that reached a record $51,800 in 2007, spurring new investments. Mining companies had failed to keep pace with the 10-fold expansion in China's stainless-steel output from 2000 to 2006, Barclays says. The alloy accounts for about 65 percent of global nickel demand, according to the International Nickel Study Group in Lisbon. China now consumes 40 percent of the base metal, more than double the proportion seven years ago.
Annual gluts since 2011 caused inventories tracked by the LME to double since November 2011 to a record 169,386 tons, exchange data show. Morgan Stanley expects demand to expand 10 percent in 2013, the most since 2010. Global stainless steel output will rise 4.9 percent to a record 36.3 million tons this year, according to MEPS (International) Ltd., an industry consultant in Sheffield, England.
Orders to withdraw metal from warehouses, known as canceled warrants, doubled to 24,528 tons this year, compared with an average of 3,721 tons over the past decade, according to LME data. Consumption, valued at $28.4 billion last year, is expanding as the International Monetary Fund predicts global economic growth will accelerate to 3.3 percent this year, from 3.2 percent in 2012.
Forward Sale
As much as 30 percent of inventories may be tied up in financing deals and unavailable to consumers, according to Societe Generale SA. The accords typically involve a simultaneous purchase of metal for nearby delivery and a forward sale to take advantage of a market in contango, when later-dated contracts cost more than those with nearer dates. To be profitable, the spread must exceed storage, financing and insurance. The LME's monthly contracts are in contango through 2018.
Some producers are still making money, with OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel, the largest, expected to report an increase of about 50 percent in its most widely tracked measure of profit to $3.25 billion this year, the mean of 17 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg shows. Shares of the Moscow-based company fell 16 percent to $15.43 in London trading this year and will rally to $20.83 in 12 months, according to the average of 15 forecasts.
Acid Leaching
Sherritt International's shares fell 25 percent to C$4.33 since the start of January and will reach C$7.23 in 12 months, according to the average of 10 forecasts.
Mining companies are adding the most new supply through a process known as high-pressure acid leaching, designed to handle lower-grade laterite ores. Output from six of them will more than double to 205,000 tons by 2018, Morgan Stanley estimates.
The surge in Chinese nickel pig iron is a growing threat because producers have cut overhead through new technology. Electric arc furnaces and rotary kiln electric furnaces with costs as low as $14,400 are superseding blast furnaces that made NPI at $23,000 a ton, according to Barclays, which cited data from Brook Hunt, a research unit of Wood Mackenzie Ltd.
The new NPI technology is also improving the quality of output, with nickel content as high as 15 percent, from 3 percent in 2006-2007, widening its uses across stainless steel grades, according to Barclays. China's NPI production will advance 16 percent to 395,000 tons this year, Macquarie Group Ltd. forecasts.
"We still have massive infrastructure that have to be put in play in China and when you look at prices, they should be up from here," said Jonathan Barratt, the chief executive officer of Barratt's Bulletin, a commodity newsletter in Sydney. "But in the short term, you can't get too excited."

Our performance testing shows the extent to which the Omni 27 lags behind other $1,000-plus all-in-ones. Aside from a decent outing on Photoshop CS 5, HP's new all-in-one comes in at or near the bottom on every test. As long as you don't try to play games or execute demanding processing tasks, you shouldn't really mind this PC's relatively slow speeds, but if performance is a priority for you, you should look past the large screen to another system.
Fortunately, the Omni 27 is capable enough to handle virtually any media playback task. In conjunction with the large screen, the slot-loading Blu-ray player offers a crisp image that looks great even at a distance. The audio output also gets loud enough to cross a room without losing its integrity. Like most higher-end HP systems, the Omni 27 comes with the inconsequential Beats Audio software.
For other ports, the Omni 27 has a pair of USB 3.0 jacks, four USB 2.0 ports, a few audio outs, and an Ethernet port. USB 3.0 is welcome, but as stated earlier, the absence of video ports other than the HDMI input hurts.
HP includes a basic one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the Omni 220. You also get 24-7 toll-free phone support and a variety of support resources are available on HP's Web site, as well as on the system itself.
The HP Omni 27 is unique among Windows-based all-in-ones for its large display. Other than that, this is only an average computer, with middling features for its price tag. The screen might be enough for some, but with other vendors' 27-inch all-in-ones due in a few months, waiting for the field to develop is the most value-conscious strategy.

The financial services industry can be an unforgiving place for everyone. For every story of hapless investors being taken advantage of, there are countless untold stories from the other side: those of the rude, abrasive, inconsiderate clients and the investment advisers that have to deal with them.
It's true that in many cases, advisers are paid quite well to take the abuse, but the problem is difficult clients undermine their own circumstances. In order to get the most from your relationship with your adviser, both parties must trust and respect each other.
I spoke with one very knowledgeable investment professional this afternoon, who insisted on anonymity, to tell me what really annoys, traumatizes and disturbs advisers as well as how investors can get the most from their relationship with an adviser.
The indented text is a direct quote from Adviser X.
Changing the mandate
A client clearly expresses goals, resources and risk tolerance. Thoroughly discussed strategies are presented, client agrees, then calls and wants to know why you're doing this.
Client risk tolerance goes from what was agreed upon -- very conservative -- to 'why am I missing out on these opportunities.' Constantly changing the mandate will get a client fired faster than almost anything else. It's bad for the clients' financial health, too.
Be the hysterical investor
This is the client who is overly emotional about each and every development in the external environment.
They are someone who is jacked into CNBC like it's the matrix and constantly calls and emails.
Please do share your concerns with your adviser. But follow your adviser's advice, even if -- especially if -- your adviser recommends you consult a psychiatrist to help you learn to improve your emotional relationship with your money.
Comparison shop -- loudly
If you want to demotivate your adviser and want your adviser to appreciate your relationship less and less, make it really clear that you're constantly comparing them to other service providers.
Try to play them against other service providers by highlighting differences in fees or constantly present some other family member or friend's adviser's viewpoint as if it's relevant to your circumstance. It's a good way to make sure that your adviser celebrates when you finally transfer your business elsewhere.
Never, ever do anything your adviser repeatedly assures you must be done
Promise your adviser, make it really clear that you believe you're receiving good advice, promise to follow it but then do nothing. Not just once but again and again for years on end.
If you think your adviser enjoys reminding you to get your trust funded properly or your will be executed dozens of times, you can take comfort in knowing that that "joy" will only be exceeded by having to explain to your next of kin why none of the things that you told your family member were part of your plan are going to happen because you died intestate.
Having a client die without a will and then watching the family trying to figure out alternative ways to accomplish the decedent's wishes is a really, really big peeve of advisers.
Casually toss around five-alarm words such as negligence and damage
Avoid unwarranted use of attention-grabbing words like complaint, complain, negligence, damage. These are words that give your adviser a heart attack.
What you don't know is the career-damaging, cascading aftermath of paperwork, regulator interaction and procedures that are required by an adviser who hears these words come from a client's mouth or via email or by letter.
Not to discourage people from having their wishes carried out or making legitimate complaints but never use language for sport. That is a surefire way to lose the trust of your adviser. The relationship between a client and adviser is built on trust, and it has to be mutual if you expect to get the most from the relationship. Scaring them into looking out for you more intensely won't be effective.
Professionals will do a good job no matter how difficult the circumstances in most cases, but it's always easier to do things the easy way rather than the hard way.

Cockroaches are insects of the Order Blattodea.
There are roughly 3,500 species in 6 families.
Cockroaches exist worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions.
Cockroaches are also simply known as "roaches".
Among the most well-known species are the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, which is about 3 cm long, and the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, about one-and-a-half cm long, and the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai, also about one-and-a-half cm in length.
Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger, and extinct cockroach relatives such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were several times as large as these.
When infesting buildings, cockroaches are considered pests; out of the thousands of species, however, only a handful fall into this designation.

The market for Initial Public Offerings or IPO has been slowly taking heights lately, according to the latest news, and it is all because of the Facebook freeze.
Last Friday, the investors showed deep interest for the freshly public technology stocks, however, the Fender Instruments, a decidedly old-school company, bowed out its longtime planned initial public offering citing for market conditions and it sounds like a great idea. With the broader IPO market now in action, the analysts have decided to finally isolate or totally get rid of the guitar maker as a solo act. And it seems to be a great idea after all, they found out. Palo Alto Network, the stock of security Software Company, popped about 27 percent in its market debut. Kayak, on the other hand, jumped about 28 percent for its travel-booking website.
Oh, yeah I get it! But for now, so much of the Facebook freeze! I think we've already had enough. Besides, there are still about eight IPOs scheduled to come out the following week and there is a security software maker from the Netherlands that also came out. It was said to be a high-end steakhouse from Texas and a natural-food grocery store chain from Lakewood, Colo., among others. This is already the beginning of the evolution of things. The range of companies taking the plunge, along with their absolute number during the usually slow summer season, shows that the market for initial public offerings is in the midst of a rebound after a lull that followed Facebook's mid-May debut.

New businesses flocking to Las Cruces
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New businesses are flocking to Las Cruces. Officials at the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce thinks this is only the beginning.
Troy Tudor, the vice president of the chamber, told ABC-7 he thinks the milestone 100,000 mark in population has made Las Cruces more enticing for businesses.
Signs are hung up at many new buildings in the area.
Tudor said Las Cruces is growing into a great place for business.
"As soon as we saw the sign, we took it as a leap of faith that it was meant to be," said Charles Gates, owner of Arabella's restaurant.
That's what Gates and his wife thought when they saw that Lorenzo's in Mesilla was closed. Now the pair is getting ready to open a new restaurant in that building -- with a new Latin flavor.
The two have been working for a year to open Arabella's.
"We tried to create an environment that's nice and friendly but not too formal. As good as our Cuban food will be, I know our Italian food will be just as good," Gates said.
On Lohman, you can see new businesses on almost every block.
The Corner Bakery Cafe has several locations in El Paso. This month, the first Las Cruces spot will open.
"We're looking forward. We're getting ready. We're almost there," said the general manager of the new store.
Tudor said this is a big change from last year.
"Business is the backbone of every community so absolutely when we see that we get excited because it is going to be more jobs, more gross receipts tax gets paid and that helps our schools and paves roads and helps us operate as a community," he told ABC-7.
Though there may be more businesses popping up, it's no easy task opening a new business.
"It is an interesting time.We have always taken the theory that if you do it right, you'll be able to succeed. The economy itself and some of the changes definitely make it interesting," Gates said.
Gates said after all of the hard work, it will be a huge weight off his shoulders when the doors are finally open.
"If we have that homestyle, fun factor, we'll make it," he said.
Las Crucens will soon have a few more options for dining out.
Arabella's hopes to open at 4 p.m. Oct. 28. The Corner Bakery Cafe opens at 7 a.m. Oct. 25.

Plus, I had personal stuff with my daughter and my mom's situations, so I felt it was time for me to showcase my talents and go to the next level.
MK: After going undrafted, do you regret not going back for your senior year?
JC: Not at all. I thought that it was the best decision for my family. I was really surprised I didn't get drafted, but I just need to keep riding it out and do what I've got to do.
MK: What caused you to be suspended from the team in 2007?
JC: It was just some school stuff, some academic work, some cheating that I was accused of.
MK: Do you feel you've learned from that mistake?
JC: Definitely. I feel that it was a while back. I did what I had to do and suffered the consequences and everything else was good.
MK: What do you feel you bring to the table as an NFL receiver?
JC: As an NFL receiver, you've got to catch the ball. I don't care how fast or slow you are, you've got to catch the ball. That's my strength, and I can run good routes. I've got decent speed, but if you can run good routes and catch the ball, then I feel like I can move the chains at any time.
MK: Was there anything about your first rookie Mini Camp that you weren't expecting?
JC: Just the meetings, how long they are. Somebody was telling me they were long but I didn't know they were that long. But everything else, it was pretty much just straight football.
