"We had a wonderful time on board - our best travel experience so far. we really appreciate the Oceania team for making our travel so special and comfortable"1
"A random Google search opened our eyes to the idea of a World Cruise. We added it in our bucket list for retired life. Then we advanced our plans slightly…and decided to do it NOW.
The Ship crew welcomed us warmly. The stateroom was spacious, room service was good We enjoyed the meals, the wines. It was an experience to remember. There were plenty of programs in the Insignia Lounge which we enjoyed. With the "Current" news letter which gave details of the programs for the next day, we received daily a news letter on the Indian news which was very much appreciated by my husband. It was our first time on a cruise ship. We enjoyed it and look forward to going on future holidays
I have returned from the trip and just a quick note to thank you and the team for the excellent organisation and professionalism through out. It was a fantastic experience and I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail and level of service in every aspect of the cruise. Thank you for handling all aspects exactly as committed and do stay in touch.

This is how 2 referees rated Paul:
|Hourly Rate
I am a very hard working and conscientious professional who always strives to meet the learners needs and encourage them to achieve their potential in everything they do. I have exceptional communication skills and develop an excellent rapport with my students. I will do everything in the best interests of the students, motivate them to work hard and provide them with opportunities to succeed and achieve their goals.
I have vast experience teaching geography at all levels for the past 5 years. Throughout that time I have taught SQA qualifications at every level and this is my 3rd year teaching the new national and higher qualifications, which have been implemented throughout North Lanarkshire for the past 3 years. Additionally, I have been at the forefront in my department in developing resources to support the learners needs and ensuring all students are meeting the standards required to pass all the outcomes for each level. I also work for the SQA as a marker. I have two years experience marking the exam papers and assignments for both the national 5 and the new CfE higher courses.
I have 3 years experience as a tutor and during that time all candidates I have tutored have gained an A or B at higher level. In each SQA level class I have taught over the past 5 years over 80% of pupils have achieved an A or B.
My approach is to work one-on-one with students to build upon their knowledge and enhance their understanding of the content in the geography curriculum. I provide resources and study aids, which helps to improve this aspect of their learning. Additionally, I work with the student to improve their exam technique, which is essential for achieving a top grade at all levels. In doing so, I will teach the student how to write exemplar answers, work on timing and mark their work, which I will then provide detailed feedback on the areas which require improvement.
Furthermore, I will work with each student on their added value units or assignments to show them how it should be structured, the detail they must add to gain full marks and practice completing these assignments in the allocated time. Once again, I will mark each piece of work and provide detailed feedback in order for them to produce an assignment that meets the requirements set out by the SQA markers.

Jim's Diary, 23rd February 2104
I first heard the theory when I was in my third year at secondary school. It was a Biology lesson. I didn't like the sciences, but I listened because I had to. If I failed that exam, I was dead.
We were discussing evolution. My teacher was firmly convinced that everything evolved by chance, and seemed certain that there was no 'grand design'. Everything was luck, as far as she was concerned.
Me? I wasn't so sure. I've never believed in luck, or chance. Coincidence seems to me an absurd concept.
Anyway, that was where I first head the words 'evolutionary dead end'. I'm not sure of the context. I think we were debating where or not we – mankind, that is – would evolved any further, or whether our society had stopped this kind of progress. Certainly, it seemed clear to me that natural selection had faded out of the picture. I mean, we don't exactly kill off the weak and sick now, do we?
So. They told me that we were an evolutionary dead end. Of course, I didn't realise at the time that they meant 'dead' literally. I don't think they realised either. But I memorised what the examiners would expect me to say, the correct answer, and that's what I wrote in my exam. It wasn't clever, and it wasn't original, but it got me the marks so I passed.
That was my method for everything. You don't need to understand a thing, as long as you know what the examiners expect you to say. It worked, didn't it? Certainly, I didn't fail at all.
I'm not sure that memorising the correct answer is going to help me nowadays. You see, the human race just wasn't good enough. They couldn't adapt, and they didn't make it through.
Instead, they left me here alone, to fight for myself and my survival. Not that there's much left to survive for. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.
Let me tell you what happened.

Don't make my bed unless i've just changed the sheets which i do fortnightly.
Usallay I change my sheets every saturday laundry day, but there a few time when its 2 wks. Neatly make the bed when I change the sheets rest of the time I just pull up the sheet and comforter. Since I live alone only one side of the bed gets used the other side doesn't get messy.
Love the smell of sheets fresh from the line, when i was able to do that I'd bring them in and fluff them in the dryer to get rid the stiffness, same with bath towels.
Dunno if I'd call it 'making the bed', but I NEED to put a cover on, otherwise BunBun the bunny makes too much of a mess.
you guys must be the most peaceful sleepers..... by the time i get up I have pillows in all corners of the room and the blankets and sheets torn off of the bed
I have to try to remind myself to use the other side of the mattress very so often. It's been a while since it was occupied. So, I find that I sleep on the right side of the bed toward the middle. There's definitely a 'spot' where I sleep - even if a flip the mattress, it doesn't take long for another spot to develop.
haha...I'll wake up to occasionally find a pillow on the floor (but right next to the bed) or the comforter off. But other than that it's all good.Originally Posted by Piel

- - Alcohol Stoves (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/cruising-articles/20408-alcohol-stoves.html)
Alcohol Stoves

Would the fumes be dangerous if I were to use an alcohol oven to heat the cabin occasionally?

Mark Matthews responds:
As far as I know, alcohol fumes aren't dangerousjust nauseating. The dangers from an alcohol stove come primarily from the alcohol spilling and creating a fire. If you've never had to battle a fire fueled by alcohol, it's a bit bizarre the way a liquid can spill everywhere and then start burning. Sometimes the flame itself is hard to see because it burns at a low temperature.

The other problem with your idea is the open flame. It's not so bad with well-ventilated areas, but any open flame down below in a sailboat is cause for caution. I once had a rough passage in which the contents of an open locker rearranged themselves. Little did I know that the toolbox had fallen on top of a can of WD40, puncturing it. When I moved the heater in front of that locker, whoom! My mate found the fire extinguisher and put out the fire (after giving me a good shot with it). The lesson is that special care has to be taken with all open flames on board a boat. And of course, you'll want to keep a hatch open a little to make sure you have enough fresh air circulating as well.

A final drawback to alcohol is that it puts out water vapor, which can create mold and mildew. That said, all the drawbacks in the world are canceled on a cold winter night when all you have is an alcohol heater! I've opted for a small electric model now that we're dockside. It puts out a dry heat, is cheap, and the convenience can't be beat. But living out on the hook is another story!

Anyone who operates a Volvo knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do. It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Shock Absorber to fix your vehicle. Volvo automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of sporty handling when driving their C30 around town. Car aficionados know that a reliable name is built into each Volvo, and know that only the highest quality repair C30 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
The first production cars from over a hundred years ago must have been very unpleasant to drive. Shock absorbers became widely used on cars and trucks in the 1930s, and the comfort they brought to drivers was so impressive that all vehicles afterward, including yours, have benefited from them. Without your Volvo C30 shock absorbers, every inconsistency in the road will be felt by you and your passengers. The shocks on your car or truck dampen sharp movements by compressing and releasing a pocket of gas within the shock body using hydraulic pressure created by a valve and piston. Today, a strut and coil spring assembly has replaced the shock absorber on front suspensions due to its increased mobility; so depending on the age of your Volvo C30, you may only find them in the rear.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Volvo C30 part for your needs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Russell Wilson threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate with 35 seconds left in the third quarter to help the Seattle Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 16-12 on Sunday. Wilson shook off two third quarter interceptions -- including one that was returned for a touchdown -- and outperformed Cam Newton on a struggle-filled day for the Carolina offense. Wilson threw for 221 yards, while Marshawn Lynch ran for 85 yards for the Seahawks (3-2). Newton threw for 141 yards on 12-for-29 passing, while the Panthers managed just 190 total yards. Their only touchdown came on Captain Munnerlyn's 33-yard interception return early in the third quarter. Carolina started the season with plenty of optimism with the return of Newton to lead a high-scoring offense, but the Panthers (1-4) struggled against the tough Seahawks defense all afternoon.

I needed a receiver hitch for my new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee so I shopped around and ended up with the same company I used for the hitch I added to my GMC Acadia. Quality is very good. It's a little heavier than I expected but solid.
Reviewed By GREG G (COATESVILLE, IN) Reviewed for a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee —2/17/2016 2:15 AM
I wanted an aftermarket hitch with a similar look, and fit as the factory hitch. Reese stopped making the hitch, so several stores were out of stock. Not only did AutoAnything have the hitch in stock, they had the best price on the internet. The box was setting on my doorstep a couple days later. The hitch is heavy-duty, and made very well. Includes step-by-step instructions, and is very easy to install. With this hitch, you must remove the rear bumper cover in order to install the bezel.

Luxury fashion design brand Stella McCartney opened a new retail boutique in Shanghai, China this week.
English fashion designer Stella McCartney, known for her rock star lifestyle and for creating exclusive looks for the Royals and Olympians, has embarked upon a new project, preparing for her latest store launch. Launching lines in China, this summer, appears to be a trend, with other famous names such as Marc Jacobs and Romeo Gigli launching collections in East Asia.
It is the first ever freestanding store, in China, for the English designer. It is located at the Reel Mall on Nanjing Road. The layout of the store includes: "glazed, ceramic tile (exterior store walls), an oak parquet floor in a herringbone pattern and brass fixtures" (WWD).
Two more retail stores are scheduled to open within the next year in Asia for this mega-luxury brand. Additionally, this year, her line Stella McCartney Kids will be featured in a Shanghai shop-in-shop (hipster lingo for branded shops within a retailer). Moreover, executives at Stella McCartney have disclosed their strategy to expand retail presence in China as well as in other parts of the World. Although, Lane Crawford is Stella McCartney's distributor in Hong Kong, Stella McCartney is taking her distribution in-house for these new Chinese retail shops.

8 - Saoirse: EavesdroppingMature
Not having rooms of my own, if I'm given a job that involves being out late, I like to crash on the sofa back at the den. Often, if I take my chances on the couch, Silvisa kicks me out and I am forced to find my own place. I have several cunning strategies, which do not involve sleeping on the streets, as once I did in fear and shivering. Those old experiences, have, however, made me scarcely fussed if I have no bedcovers, and I am not choosy when it comes to finding a place to put my head – just as well, perhaps, in my line of career.
Occasionally I raid the PCB bank account and book a room at one of the many small two-star inns in the network of streets round where I haunt, although it's not regular that I can snatch the money, or the risk – Silvisa doesn't seem to take too kindly to me when I resort to theft. Besides that, there is always the hazard of discovery. I may be anonymous to the police, and Silvisa may have a pact with them, but they know I'm here, and they know I've killed people, and if they can get hold of me and have me convicted without Silvisa knowing, they will do it.
Sometimes I use my eyes and pick locks. Front doors are shadowed in the twilight, and a black figure unseen. The houses I select are always temporarily vacated – some people go on holiday far too often for the good of their properties, and, alternatively, victims and investigators are unlikely to return to their homes for days after the death, if it has been contrived with skill – and if they do, I know all too well how to deal with it…
That particular morning, I had slept on the warm side of a door which displayed the sign, 'No milk till Saturday, and, consequently, was forced to leave before daylight to avoid the watchful eyes of diligent neighbours.
I wandered a little, shopping for a dry loaf and some bitty cheese in a tiny black market shop I knew of in the area. We of the organised assassination profession are pristinely informed on the whereabouts of such places, and I knew exactly where to go. I knew the man; he was a gaunt guy of forty or so, unwashed and unshaven, who blew smoke rings through his nostrils and snatched the pennies from my palm with claws, bitten and twisted. He leered as he counted the coins, thrust the lot in his pocket, having realised that there were thirteen pennies extra in what I had given him, and glared me to the door.
On my roundabout route back to the den, I watched for suspicious behaviour as I swung my umbrella, Bertha. And saw nothing that I deem it important to tell, at this point in time.
When I reached the den, slipping in with the tall grace characteristic to a person with limbs too many and too long, it was just forty-one minutes past five in the morning. Dropping to the maroon couch and covering my body with a rough blanket of the same colour, I treated myself to a short nap.
When I woke about half an hour later, I was instantly aware of voices through the wall partition. They were pitched to a low frequency, but I instantly recognised the tones of Silvisa Welmoen, who simultaneously played the roles of my boss and my Nemesis, and Peregrine Waters, the only male member of the gang. He hasn't been here long, and I haven't spoken to him much, but he seems nice enough. Not the kind to go sleeping round with every girl he finds, which I respect. And yet he's not the typical assassin. I don't think he's ever killed. He just writes the notes for Silvisa, which makes me think that firstly she has a thing for him, or else he has a thing for her, and secondly that he's a bit wimpy.
Because I am an assassin, and therefore a sleuth and a spy, I could not endure the voices without the words, and so I did not hesitate to ease the blanket from my head and creep to the wall. With my ear against the plaster, I could hear every word.
"I see. So that is my mission?"
"I'm sorry it involves…that," said Silvisa, her voice sounding strangely soft through the muffling of the wall. She never beat about the bush with anything. Maybe I missed a word spoken very quietly.
"I'll be okay," replied Perry bravely.
"I knew you would be. According to a recent report from Saoirse, I must warn you that there is a very slight possibility of complications."
I recollected in an instant the 'recent report' mentioned by my chief. Just yesterday I came across a stray note in the gutter near the corner shop. I did not pick it up. I spat my chewing gum out onto the underside of my shoe, and placed my foot very deliberately over the paper. I remember yet what it read, though I did not consider it to be significant at the time – how naïve of me, each and every detail is everlastingly significant. But shall I tell you of what it read? No; I shall not, for it may be a trap, and Saoirse Whelan does not fall into traps, though she may be the instrument of many.
"What sort of complications?"
"That I cannot tell you. They may never come into being. But if anything crops up, keep focussed on your task and I promise that you will not be further distracted, harmed or discovered."
"And if I do not keep focussed?"
"As I said, there will be consequences – for all of us."
"I see. I will do my best."
"You will do more than your best," and her voice was hard once again. "You will succeed."
I heard footsteps almost immediately, and let myself collapse back onto the sofa, yawning long and loud as if I had just got in.
Rubbing my eyes, I sat up and pushed myself back to my feet. I faced her square, and I saw that she knew I had heard the last part of the conversation.
Her eyes were narrow and angry as she stared me down – although I think now that she had smelled my presence before she had seen me – but I collected myself and stayed calm, slipping a hand to the inner pocket of my tight oiled-blue jeans and slapping a wicked silver key down on the table. Forgetting my unpardonable offence, she snatched up the key with her cold fingers, and turned her back on me.
"The man has been disposed of adequately?" her voice slipped from between her lips, smooth as butter but twice as cold and not half as yellow.
"Untraceable," I said. "A small folding bomb with an evaporating shell. It will have terminated the man, and perhaps a few others near him. But untraceable."

A BRITNEY Spears fan has been killed after falling from a fairground ride
following one of the star's gigs.
Siobhan Healy, 31, had been attending the Toxic singer's Dublin date of her
Femme Fatale tour.
She had been on a fairground ride set up outside the O2 arena in the city
after the concert when she was thrown to the ground.
The tragedy happened at 11.20pm and killed Siobhan, from Willsborough, instantly.
Councillor Michael McGreal, a neighbour and family friend, said she was an only

He said: "The community is very shocked.
"I know her family very well, we are all very upset."
It is believed she fell from a ride called the Tip Top, which was run by funfair
operator Kenneth McFadden, owner of McFadden's Entertainment.
He added: "We can't say what happened, it all happened so quick
"We are just in bits at the moment, we are just devastated."
The area outside the venue has now been sealed off ahead of a forensic
examination by police technical experts.

I look up from the wooden table I am seated at as two new people enter The Bunker. I gasp involuntarily then hope to myself that I didn't just stare at the one of them with my mouth wide open like a dork for more than 20 seconds. I can't believe he's here! Actually…no, I can believe that his IQ would lead him to be invited, but it's been so long… I make a mental note that next time I shall demand that Agent K show me the complete list of invitees…If there ever is a next time…
The girl accompanying Lewis Johnson looks timide and wholly un-special. She is greeted by the official-looking lady (who I discover is called Sandy) in pretty much the same way as I was. The two of them seem to get off to a smashing start and begin to chat right away, leaving Lewis standing by the door gaping at his surroundings. Yes, the bunker is quite a make; a bit like the TARDIS-bigger on the inside. But that's just an appearence; Team M figured out that if we crammed as many books as possible into the spaces of corners, and all the nooks of the shelves, the actual area of the remaining space appeared to be expanding.
I clear my throat and anxiously take a step forward.
"Johnson. Long time, no see. Still the prat you were five years ago?" I say to him roughly.
"Irma, Irma, Irma...Still the pedantic pen-pusher you were? I may have changed, but I know that you won't have."
"I am this close to slapping your smug face-"
"Fine. Go on then... It won't bring you any happiness...or Quantum Physics Equation answers for that matter..."
I scowl nastily at him. "So why are you here anyway?"
"Why do you think? The world needs my intelligence...It also needs to be repopulated after the exothermic chemical burning is over and done with."
I snort, mostly in disgust. "You...?"
"Oh and guess who I've chosen to be my mate?" Lewis says with a smug grin as he points over at his companion.

Petra Fischer has turned her back on life in Hollywood to work as a solicitor for a major City law firm.
Brando, who died of pneumonia last week, is said to have "adored" the 31-year-old, whom he adopted when she was 14.
Miss Fischer became part of Brando's entourage when her mother, Caroline, became his personal assistant. Her father James Clavell, who wrote Shogun and directed The Great Escape, had agreed to pay his ex-mistress ?40,000 plus ?800 a month towards her upbringing.
Miss Fischer had to endure two bitter legal battles as the actor first pursued her father then her mother through the courts. In 1982, claiming she had been "emotionally disturbed'', Caroline - aided by Brando, who had come to hate Clavell - sued him for ?7 million palimony. The case lasted several years until the actor dropped the claim.
Brando then stepped in to help pay Miss Fischer's school and university fees. She was said to refer to the actor as her father and was there to comfort him when Cheyenne, his real daughter, killed herself in 1995.
Nevertheless after his finances worsened, Brando, who had given Caroline ?125,000 in 1985 to set herself and Miss Fischer up in Britain, demanded she repay the money when she retired as his assistant after 25 years.
He launched a legal battle that was concluded against him four days before he died of lung failure in UCLA's hospital. Today a friend of Miss Fischer said: "It was all very sad. I think she wants to draw a line under it all."
- Brando was cremated in a private funeral in Los Angeles on Monday. Only members of the actor's family attended the service.

Robin Lehner was not a fan of having his crease crashed Saturday night, and he chose to share those feelings by trying to fight anything on skates in a different-colored sweater. The Binghamton Senators goalie absolutely lost it in the second period after members of the Syracuse Crunch crashed Lehner's net pretty hard, taking some liberties after the whistle. That led to a few isolated tussles between skaters. Once the dust started to settle around the net, Lehner got to his feet and went after one of the perceived offenders. He was able to get a few shots in before he was pulled back by an official. However, Lehner broke an unwritten rule by going after those players, which set off Riku Helenius at the other end. The Syracuse netminder then skated the length of the ice, a decision he'd soon regret. Lehner was even more fired up upon dropping the glove and blocker to take on Helenius, pummeling with a couple of good right hands (for a goalie fight, at least), before the scrap finally ended. Lehner was assessed a game misconduct, but he was able to ham it up for the fans on his way off the ice. Here's the thing, though. It was all downhill for Lehner and the Sens from there. The hot-headed goalie was sent off with Binghamton holding a seemingly safe 5-0 lead. However, the Crunch stormed back the rest of the way, eventually forcing overtime and winning the game in the extra time. See video of the brawl below (with a stick tap to Puck Daddy for this one).

Labour would scrap coalition plans for a £100m "modern-day borstal" to house young offenders championed by the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, and the justice secretary, Chris Grayling, the Guardian has learned.
It comes after Sue Berelowitz, the deputy children's commissioner, and prison campaign groups expressed deep concerns about the plans, saying it could harm the emotional and mental health of troubled under-18s.
In January, Clegg and Grayling announced that the new facility, described as a "secure college", would be built near Leicester by 2017, arguing it would be like a fortified school reserved for young offenders.
They claim the new prison will better rehabilitate young people convicted of crimes, but there are suspicions the plan is also intended to cut costs, as a place at a large institution is about £60,000, while smaller secure children's homes cost £200,000 per child.
The Guardian has revealed that prison governors have been ordered to cut the cost of holding prisoners in England's bulging jails by £149m a year, as part of a radical programme designed to slash the costs of incarceration by £2,200 a year per prison place.
Sadiq Khan, the shadow justice secretary, was initially sceptical of the plans for the borstal and now believes they are a recipe for disaster, especially if the emergence of the new "super-prison" ends up shutting secure children's homes.
He said Labour would vote against the legislation when the criminal justice and courts bill came back before parliament and would scrap the entire project if it won the next election.
"Depending on who the justice secretary is talking to, this is either a modern-day borstal or a school with a brick wall around it," he said.
"Evidence shows that smaller establishments for young people are more effective. It's easier to maintain control, they are less violent and there's a much better chance of rehabilitating young people. By opting for one big teenage Titan prison slap-bang in the middle of the country, families will have enormous distances to travel to see their loved ones, putting considerable strain on relationships with parents, all of which we know are crucial in rehabilitation.
"Moreover, by refusing to say what they plan to do about specialist secure children's homes, I'm very suspicious of their plans. The kinds of children they cater for would be all at sea in a 300-bed teenage Titan prison. It is a recipe for disaster."
The "secure college" would cost £85m and at least £20m in its first year of operation if each place cost a minimum of £60,000 a year per child. There is no additional money and this will have to come from existing justice budgets.
Many groups have voiced their concern about the plans, including the Prison Reform Trust, the Howard League for Penal Reform and the Standing Committee on Youth Justice.
Berelowitz, chief executive of the Office of the Children's Commissioner for England, said the organisation was "concerned that the focus on replacing existing small secure children's homes and other parts of the secure estate with a 300-bed secure college will result in a large impersonal environment that does not adequately meet the emotional and mental health needs of children in custody".
The Howard League for Penal Reform has said "constructing vast custodial institutions that do not have welfare at their heart will always fail to reduce outcomes for vulnerable children and will inevitably be centres of violence and self-harm".
Its criticisms are echoed by the Prison Reform Trust, which has said: "Small, local, intensively staffed units with a focus on taking responsibility, making amends to victims, gaining skills for employment and having a home to go to are safer and more effective than putting hundreds of teenagers together in over-large institutions."

What's so Transparent about Transparency?

Representationalists often use intuitions about the transparency ofexperience to defend their view that qualitative content isrepresentational content. According to these intuitions, wecannot attend to our experience except by attending to theobject of that experience. Although the transparency intuitionappears to be widely shared, even among non-representationalists,in this paper I suggest that there are two ambiguities inherent indiscussions of transparency. One concerns the strength of thetransparency intuition, while the other concerns its scope. Oncewe bring these two ambiguities to the surface, we can see that therepresentationalists' claim that experience is transparent turnsout to be considerably more controversial than ordinarily supposed.While the phenomenological data may support some kind of experientialtransparency, I argue that it does not support the kind of transparencyneeded for representationalism.

London, Dec 28 (ANI): The next time you ask your pet pooch to fetch a stick, try to remember this stark warning: dogs suffer as many injuries chasing and catching sticks as they do on roads.
One of Britain's most eminent vets, Dan Brockman, professor of small animal surgery at the Royal Veterinary College, has listed out dozens of serious injuries and infections, almost all the result of animals being stabbed as they rushed after a sharp stick, reports TimesOnline.
"When I see people throwing sticks for their dogs in the park I just get so frustrated. I want to go and tell them to stop," the expert said.
In his new research, Brockman along with a colleague will detail some of the injuries suffered by pets when a game of fetch goes wrong.
They include: dogs left paralysed after being stabbed in the back of the throat by a stick that then enters the spinal cord, and animals left with serious internal injuries when a spinning stick jams between the foreleg and chest as they try to catch it on the move.
Also, the list includes: dogs who suffer a slow death as infection spreads from tiny fragments of wood left lodged in a wound.
For owners, Brockman said, there is another problem with throwing sticks for dogs - the huge cost of treating injuries.
"I have seen injuries that have cost up to 5,000 pounds in treatment fees - but where the dog has still died in the end," he said.
Brockman added that people who get their pets to chase after balls may also be behaving irresponsibly.
"You must make sure the size of ball is right for the dog," said Brockman.
"I have had to operate on dogs that have swallowed tennis balls too," he added. (ANI)

Sender E-mail
Some of the popular apps that will be available upon the release of Kindle Fire include Facebook, Pandora, Netflix, Twitter, Rhapsody, The Weather Channel, Comics by comiXology, and popular games by Zynga, Rovio, EA, Gameloft, and PopCap
With less than one week until the launch of Amazon's first tablet,
Kindle Fire
, the electronic commerce giant has announced that several popular Android apps will be available for the new tab upon its release.
Kindle Fire features a 7-inch multi-touch display with a 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4 dual-core processor, 8 GB storage capacity, 512 MB memory, a 14.6 ounce design, 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity, and Amazon's new Web broswer Amazon Silk. It will run a unique version of Android's 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, and will now offer a number of popular apps.
Some of the popular apps that will be available upon
the release of Kindle Fire
include Facebook, Pandora, Netflix, Twitter, Rhapsody, The Weather Channel, Comics by comiXology, and popular games by Zynga, Rovio, EA, Gameloft, and PopCap.
"We started talking to app developers everywhere the day we introduced Kindle Fire, and the response has been overwhelming," said Dave Limp, Vice President of Kindle Fire. "In addition to over 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, books, and magazines from Amazon, we are excited to offer customers thousands of apps and games to choose from on Kindle Fire -- from Pandora and Rhapsody to Facebook and Twitter to Netflix, as well as popular games from EA, Zynga and many other top game developers. And this is only the beginning -- we're adding more apps and games every day across all categories."
Kindle Fire users will be able to download the apps using Amazon's 1-Click payment technology, and won't have to register multiple times when downloading apps. Once downloading an app from the Amazon Appstore, it can be used on Kindle Fire as well as other
Android-based gadgets
EA, Zynga, Gameloft, Pandora, Netflix, PopCap Games, Rhapsody and The Weather Channel have all showed their enthusiasm for contributing content to the Kindle Fire. Other available apps and games announced include Bloomberg, Doodle Jump, Doodle Fit, Fruit Ninja, Jenga, LinkedIn, Quickoffice Pro, IMDb Movies & TV, Zillow, Airport Mania, Cut the Rope, and more.
Kindle Fire will be released November 15 for $199, and can be pre-ordered

The NOOK Tablet also offers a larger selection of books, newspapers and magazines, but comes at a price of $249 -- $50 more than the Kindle Fire.
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

The box came via mail from mcm. I have not installed it yet but it is high quality material and construction for a very inexpensive price. The box stores would charge a much higher price for the same thing.

Good quality, and easy to machine for switches and lighting.
Quick shipping, quality products and reasonable prices. I've redone most of my home with MCM products. Very pleased.

Poem by: Luvving
Status: Finished
Genre: Mystery and Crime
Drink driver
Party over friends are gone, music played now in background.
Many people having a good time, some sodden with alcohol
Some teetotal all fine.
Thought I'd take a break before clearing up the mess
Spread out on the sofa in that rather flimsy dress.
Don't know how it happened or when I closed my eyes.
Tiredness had got me, the sleep it couldn't hide.
Thought that I was dreaming when I seemed to hear a knock
Knew I wasn't dreaming when a shouting voice called out.
Stumbled to my feet, diminished senses were in tow
Never knew what was going to hit me as I opened the front door.
I recognised my guest who just left about an hour ago
She said I'd better sit down, there's bad news and I should know.
So now I couldn't sit and told her to tell me straight away.
She said it's Jimmy, he is no more, he drank and drove
Crashed a tree, finished in a wall.
I couldn't speak, couldn't catch my breath, the shock was all so great.
I vaguely remember feeling hot, oh yes she said I fainted.
Jimmy and I go back as far as kids, and we were always together in company.
Now there would be no more Jimmy, because of stupidity.
So many times when Jimmy drank he'd never touch his car
Yet just this morn, don't know what was going on.
He drank and drove away his life.
I want the people who think they can, to put away those thoughts.
Don't drink and drive, try staying alive, and by you no one will get hurt.
I won't forget the life and soul of the party dancing close by.
So tell me why oh why did he do it?
Why did Jimmy have to drive?
Though fun was had we're all now sad.
Drink driving took Jimmy's life!

As a designer you will need to build up knowledge of fabrics and their properties. Essentially, these will become your "palette". You need to learn how fabrics feel and behave. You can start by touching, feeling and looking closely at the fabrics around you and gathering information about their construction and composition. Consider what you are wearing. Do you know which fabrics your clothes are made from? With experience you will be able to tell what a fabric is made from simply by touching or "handling" it, but that knowledge takes time to acquire.

The following is a guest post by Squiggle over at www.financesquiggle.com. To read further on investing strategies, see his post on the best way to invest $10,000. Enjoy!
Talking to most stock investors, you'll hear of attempts to maximize returns or beat the index. Those who strictly adhere to the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) contend that the stock market is too competitive and that stock prices reflect all readily available information, making consistently above average returns impossible. Hand-in-hand with EMH supporters, Random Walk Theory proponents will tell you stock prices are simply too random for you to achieve above average returns in the long-run.
The research is mixed, however. Many studies show that certain types of stocks tend to have better returns. Below is a summary of some of the evidence supporting investing in stocks with high dividend yields.
Research Highlights in Favor of High Dividend Yields
Tweedy, Browne Company LLC published a fascinating paper strongly in favor of investing in stocks with high dividend yields. One study in the U.K found that from 1955 to 1988, the decile of stocks with the highest dividend yields had a compound annual return of 19.3% compared to 13.0% for the index.
O'Shaughnessy Asset Management has a similar paper supporting high dividend yields. In a US study from 1930 to 2011, the top decile of dividend yield stocks had a compound annual return of 11.6% vs. 10.2% for all US stocks. Even more exciting, from 1990 to 2011, the top decile of dividend yield stocks worldwide had a compound annual return of 14.8% vs. 6.9% for the index of all stocks. The top decile beat the benchmark in 100% of the 5 year rolling periods throughout.
Credit Suisse published another promising paper on the topic, with an added twist. The firm examined the returns in 12 countries and reached the same conclusion that high dividend yields produce superior returns. They also examined a second variable of payout ratio (the percentage of net income paid out as dividends). In the majority of the countries studied, the combination of high yield, low payout ratio produced the best returns (in a few cases high yield, high payout won). For example, in the United States from 1990 through 2008, the high dividend yield, low payout ratio portfolio had the highest compound annual return of 15.4%, while the S%P 500 returned 8.4% annually.
Recent Performance of High Dividend Yield Funds
Despite the research, high dividend yield funds haven't been fairing well in the last several years. Here are three examples vs. the S&P 500 since their inception.

Final Thoughts
Unfortunately, high dividend yield funds have not been performing well in the last several years. However, the research in favor of stocks with high dividend yields is robust. Those with high dividend yields tend to outperform those with low dividend yields handily (especially those with a low payout ratio). As with most strategies that have shown outperformance over the long run, there are periods of underperformance.
Despite this recent lag, decades of sound research make this strategy worthwhile as part of your portfolio for the long-term. Diversification is one of the cornerstones of personal finance, so it's best to dedicate only a fraction of your investments to high dividend yield stocks. Additionally, research shows that funds with low fees outperform those with higher fees over long periods. Accordingly, dedicating part of your portfolio to the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM), with a low expense ratio of 0.10%, is an excellent investment choice.
