About Us
If you have any questions on any of the animals pictured on our site, please call Ms. Donna Campos, 580-695-0206, or 355-7729. We want to thank all our local vets!
We are a rescue for cats and dogs that are in need of loving homes. Please bring all family members to see the animals since everyone will be living in the same household. Peace and harmony are a good thing and remember it takes the whole household to provide for a loving pet. You will need to fill out an adoption application and provide a form of identification then pay a fee for a fully vetted feline or canine.
Sometimes an adoption just doesn't work out for whatever reason please bring our furry friend back to us. We understand life happens and we are always glad to see them again. It's the right thing to do.
Since each pet listed come from different organiztions and locations please call the numbers that are listed in the "NOTE" section. If you are having any trouble call 580-695-0206 or 580-355-7729.
Pawsitive Options for Adoption Lawton-Commanche County HS is a non-profit 501(C)(3) rescue formed to offer an alternative for canine and felines that would otherwise face an uncertain future. We are a group of volunteers that have a passion for animals and the rescue mission of finding loving homes for the animals under our care.
No loving companions are adopted out until they are spayed or neutered, check by a veterinarian and vaccinated.
Foster homes are always scarce and in high demand so if you can open your hearts and your home to help our animals it would be much appreciated. Every foster makes it possible for another unwanted animal to find a loving home. Locations in the Lawton and surrounding area would be ideal but no home will be excluded for consideration.
What would a non-profit be without donations? Remember donations are all tax deductible. Wouldn't you rather give to loving cause then Good old Uncle Sam! If you are like us, we have already given at the office!
Barn homes are needed from time to time for our felines that just can't seem to adjust living with us humans. So, we would like to see them put to work catching those pesky little rodents. We will make sure you will have a healthy and vetted cat, if you will make sure the cat has a warm shelter from our cold winter nights, supplemental food and water and a kind eye out for his/her needs. The cat will make sure to provide you with a rodent free barn. It's a win/win situation.
Are you a literary giant like Hemingway or Steinbeck and can plead a case? We need grant writers! Grants are the lifeblood of any rescue. We are busy taking care of the animals and finding homes and need you to put pen to paper!
If you can't adopt, foster. If you can't foster, sponsor. If you can't sponsor, volunteer. If you can't volunteer, donate. If you can't donate, educate, network and crosspost. EVERYONE can do something, large or small, to help save a life.
Each organization or person will direct you on the location of the great pets listed here so a new friend can start sharing his/her life with you. Please be careful and call the numbers listed in the "NOTE" section.

Re: st: RE: Mean test in a Likert Scale
Sun, 2 Sep 2012 11:23:00 +0100
The original question was posed by Leonor Saravia: here is the link
again for anyone interested.
Yuval is _not_ here returning to the original question, which was
about response variables on a Likert scale. My own line on this is
that despite what people say, t tests often work well, but watch out.
Yuval is criticising the use of an ordinal predictor treated
numerically in regression. I imagine widespread agreement with Yuval's
point, which is elementary. The only good justification for doing that
is if the relationship is linear in practice, which is unlikely to be
true of Yuval's kind of example. But again that is true of any
I want to stress that this problem is a different target.
The details of the Kmenta (1997) reference are missing.
For my part, I am shy of claiming "the correct analysis" of anything.
I've seen too many cases where smart people have come up with
different good analyses which each have merits. I think there are many
incorrect analyses around -- meaning analyses that can be argued to be
incorrect -- but the asymmetry is important.

I'm using the 4.0 Beta 2 versoin of Spiceworks, I'm impressed with the breadth of information this tool provides. However, (there is always a "however") when I run the report to discover which of my clients do not have anti-virus software installed, I get old information, when I check those clients, they do, infact, have AV installed. Is there a way to purge the reporting to get all new data or is this dynamic information? It appears to be cached.

Empowering Children. Strengthening Families. Building Community.
The Family Leadership Circle is Cradles to Crayons' group of generous and dedicated families who play a critical role in sustaining our mission to provide local children with the essential items they need to thrive.
Members of the Family Leadership Circle give $1,000 or more annually and receive special acknowledgement as well as opportunities to come together to foster empathy, community responsibility, and good citizenship in their children through the shared experience of volunteering and giving to children and families in need.
Why join the Family Leadership Circle?
"I think that families should join the FLC because it's a great way for busy parents and kids to come together to learn about and to actually help families in need.
As a mother, I know what the needs of a growing family are, how hard it can be to meet those needs, and how quickly they change. I like volunteering at C2C because they directly serve individual children and have a high-impact, tangible effect on children. If we can teach our kids at an early age that it is important and satisfying to give to others, they will carry that lesson with them into adulthood. The FLC is a fun way to teach kids about the benefits of philanthropy." Katie Norton, FLC Ambassador
Benefits of the Family Leadership Circle
To find out more about the Family Leadership Circle, please contact Renee Houle, Senior Manager of Family Philanthropy at (617) 779-4721 or email@example.com.

(OTC PINK: AXXU), an emerging data flow management and digital marketing company, announced today that the Company has launched its first ignition interlock mobile application, the Axxess Information Reporting (AIR) app, now available through Apple for the iPhone and iPad. With an intuitive interface and up-to-date information, the application includes a breath alcohol calculator (BAC) to help those with an interlock to not violate their restricted driving privilege, a sales and service locator, the Company's "Connect to Cab" feature, and Axxess' previously-announced "Refer a Friend" portal, which helps distributors and manufacturers enhance their marketing effort by allowing app users to generate income for themselves and interlock companies by referring potential new clients. This referral ability is one of the many new ways that Axxess transforms the traditional interlock company from a simple hardware distributor into a data-driven income generator. "The 'Refer a Friend' portal has helped us grow faster than any of our competitors in our market," said Laura Cardenas, General Manager of Arizona Monitoring Systems, an interlock distributor. "We have over 30 referring groups that make money by referring clients to us, and that number is virtually unlimited." Commenting on the new Apple app, Michael Roth, Chairman and CEO of Axxess, stated, "We are very excited about this first application, not only because it is groundbreaking in the interlock space, but also because it showcases the very best of what we do in terms of application marketing. We see this application as a great example of the kind of apps that can really save clients money and deliver significant returns over the long run." About Axxess Unlimited Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona with offices in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Axxess Unlimited currently operates two divisions that focus on increasing revenue for clients: data flow management and proprietary digital marketing platforms.

Developed by Michael Roth, a retired Arizona city court judge, AIR is the only system in use that conforms to federal evidence rules, processing over 48,000 data logs – and growing - annually to courts, probation departments and state agencies.

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – Sweden's Rikard Karlberg sunk seven birdies for a seven-under-par 65 to take a two-stroke lead in the first-round of the CIMB Classic in Malaysia, while Spanish star Sergio Garcia lurked four shots back.
American defending champion Ryan Moore turned in six birdies of his own to lead a pack of golfers just three strokes off Karlberg's pace on 68.
The Swede, who has struggled this year to overcome a stubborn viral infection and said he "almost stopped enjoying the game", credited his strong start to a decision to just shake off the negative feelings and relax.
"I just went out there and tried to be as relaxed as possible and just have fun," he said.
Karlberg had five birdies on the front nine at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club and cemented his lead with two more on the final two holes.
World number four Sergio Garcia, the highest-ranked golfer in the field, was in striking distance after entering the clubhouse with a three-under 69.
Garcia, 34, started brightly, notching four birdies over his opening nine, but could manage no more the rest of the way and suffered a bogey down the homestretch.
But the Spaniard, who has seen a revival in his play this year including a January Qatar Masters win and runner-up showing to world number one Rory McIlroy in the Open Championship, was pleased.
"I felt like I played quite well. Obviously I didn't hole a lot of putts. I hit some really good putts that I had quite a lot of lip-outs, but other than that, it felt good," he said.
Patrick Reed, a bright spot for the USA in its latest recent Ryder Cup loss to Europe, was among several entrants who finished the day at two-under after shooting a 70.
England's Lee Westwood, who won on the same course in the Malaysian Open in April, had an up-and-down day to finish at even par, tied with a group of golfers including this past season's FedExCup champion Billy Horschel. Westwood, a former world number one, turned in a card featuring two birdies and an eagle three on the par-five fifth, but also two bogeys, and a double bogey on the par-four 16th.
"I struggled with the speed of the greens more than anything, but made a nice eagle at five, which got me back to level par. So not too much damage done," he said.

Case of 15 - £27.90 each
When the founder of Whole Earth, the pioneering organic food company, was sent a sample of organic cocoa beans over 25 years ago, he had a sample of 70% dark chocolate made up from the beans. When it arrived and was left on his desk, his wife spotted the unguarded bar and helped herself. She'd never tasted anything like it in her life and was certain that other confirmed chocoholics would love it as much as she did. And with that, Craig and Jo set about making organic chocolate.
They selected the name carefully, aiming to reflect the brands of their childhood, and chose Green to symbolises their strict organic principles and Black to represent the intensity of the chocolate.

Wonderful location
... some soccer fans (singing in our pub before they moved on, having a great time) and then we moved down the street for lunch. Closer to the boat we found a great restaurant and we sat inside although I think the locals were staying outside - it was still a little cloudy and cool for us - we had a fabulous leek soup and potato roll with mushrooms and onions - just delicious. Now, we were ready to head to ...
Andernach to Cologne
Beautiful morning as we left Andernach and cruised towards Cologne. The river traffic is noticeably heavier and bigger, with many more River Ships (barges), but the scenery along the river is beautiful.
We spent the morning in the lounge, reading, talking, relaxing. Of interest on the river were the remains of the Remagen Bridge which was destroyed by the Allies in WWII. The movie, The Bridge ...

It's front facade covers 750 sq metres and has 10,000 sq metres of lead light windows. It suffered 14 direct bomb hits during the war but was rebuilt. We declined the invitation the climb the 560 steps for what is reported as breathtaking views from the southern spire. I expect the climb up is more breathtaking than the ...
Day 11 - Flight to Cologne
... Standing under the bridge, pondering, knowing that the Idi is very shortly setting sail for Kinderdijk - just up the Rhine - home to gorgeous, immaculately preserved windmills, a plan starts to develop. Hoping that Patty has made it safely back onboard, I begin to work on the elements of my plan. Hours pass, and I take a last stroll around the darkening city of Cologne, lights coming on all over town. It's lovely, especially at night, and I start to look for a ride to Kinderdijk.

Here is Part I, a.k.a. the first 3, of my 5 bold predictions for the upcoming Indianapolis Colts season (Part II coming very soon): Derrius Heyward-Bey hauls in a pass during training camp (Photo credit: AP Photo) 1. Derrius Heyward-Bey lives up to his potential When you hear the name of newly acquired Colts wide receiver Derrius Heyward-Bey you may think 'bust', I think 'potential'. At 6'2" 215 lbs. he ran a 4.25 40 at the combine coming out of college (one of the top 40's ever recorded at the combine)! The possibilities for a man of his athletic prowess are numerous; pair that with a quarterback (Mr. Andrew Luck) who was the most hyped number 1 overall pick since John Elway (and Luck lived up to that hype in his rookie campaign) and Heyward-Bey might just fulfill those possibilities. To make my argument I present you with some important stats from the 2012 season: Donnie Avery: 60 receptions, 781 yards, 3 touchdowns, 112 targets, 16.67% drop rate T.Y. Hilton: 50 rec, 861 yds, 7 tds, 88 targets, 16.67% drop rate Derrius Heyward-Bey: 41 rec, 606 yds, 5 tds, 80 targets, 12.8% drop rate The drop rates and targets were found at Pro Football Focus and KFFL.com (other stats were taken from ESPN.com); Hilton and Avery were tied at third among the highest drop rates in the NFL. These were two of the primary guys Luck was throwing to last year, Hilton listed at 5'9" 178 lbs., Avery listed at 5'11" 200 lbs., and they are both known for being speedsters (Avery is now gone). Enter Heyward-Bey; he had a lower drop rate at 12.8% along with less targets and someone who has had the misfortune of having to catch balls from 7 different quarterbacks in 4 years (such as JeMarcus Russell, an aging Carson Palmer, Kyle Boller, Terrelle Pryor, and others of similar skill). Though he did have a 35.7% drop rate his rookie year and 21.6% the next, he has improved those rates the following years to 8.6% and 12.8% respectively. This showcases that he has the willingness to work on his craft. His work ethic, size and incredible speed combined with the fact that he's playing with one of the next great quarterbacks of the NFL, after spending time with the bottom dwellers of the league, make him primed for an outstanding season (800-1,000 yds, 10 tds, 60-80 receptions). Lawrence Sidbury goes for a sack against the Green Bay Packers (Photo credit: Curtis Compton ajc.com) 2. Lawrence Sidbury provides pass rushing depth Who? A question I hope avid watchers of the Indianapolis Colts won't be saying about Lawrence Sidbury by season's end. He is a 6'3" 269 lbs. defensive end out of Richmond who ran a 4.64 40 coming out of college in 2009. He spent his first 4 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, and he did not really prove himself till 2011. In that year he played in 16 games and recorded 11 tackles along with 4 sacks, as a backup defensive end. But in 2012 he only played in 10 games and recorded 1 lone tackle. However, reading about him all off-season it seems that the Falcons coaching staff simply did not give him the chance to improve on his successful 2011 season in 2012. So, GM of the Indianapolis Colts, Ryan Grigson, signed him to a cheap deal hoping to hone his potential into something useful for the Colts defense. I believe Grigson made a very solid decision in doing so. Sidbury proved that he can be an adequate backup rushing the quarterback in 2011, and he'll get his chance to prove that he can be a good one with the Colts in 2013, most likely backing up Robert Mathis. Though, since he is learning a new position in playing at outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense instead of defensive end in a 4-3 defense, I expect most of his production to come in the second half of the season. That being said I anticipate a 5-7 sack season from Sidbury (assuming no injuries occur, which we all know is a grand assumption), and that would be a great year for the backup of our main pass rusher (Mathis). 3. Colts' defensive secondary improves radically Vontae Davis returning the football after a turnover (Photo credit: Jonathan Daniel) Barring an injury (Landry and Toler are known to be injury prone, as was Davis last year) I believe the defensive backfield could be in the top echelon of the NFL. Darius Butler (arguably our best corner from last year excluding the last few weeks from Vontae Davis) is now our SLOT defensive back. He is behind Davis and Greg Toler. Davis had a terrible start to the year in 2012, but by the end looked like a shutdown corner. In the AFC wild card game against the Baltimore Ravens, wide receiver Anquan Boldin may have demolished our secondary, but how many times did you hear Torrey Smith's name? Davis was the one covering Smith and he ended up having 2 receptions for 31 yards (footballdb.com). Toler is a free agent addition from the Arizona Cardinals, an underrated defense last year. Toler is a physical corner who is suited for a man to man defense, which head coach Chuck Pagano likes to play. I actually attended the Colts open mini-camp practice and I came out most impressed with Toler's play. He has deceptively long arms and his instincts look fantastic, I look forward to watching him play this year. Next up: LaRon Landry, Mr. Meat n' Potatoes himself: LaRon Landry tweeting and confirming he likes 'meat n potatoes' Landry, simply put, is a beast of a man. He is 6 feet and 225 lbs. of pure muscle. He is a 'make you scared to catch a ball over the middle' safety. Landry is a very athletic hard-hitter (Bob Sanders anybody?) who is coming off a pro-bowl season; a major upgrade from Tom Zbikowski at the very least. Another addition to the defense: Antoine Bethea. I know he was on the team last year, but because of the lack of help he had in the backfield, he tried doing too much and his play suffered. I expect us to add pre-2012 Bethea (a 2 time pro-bowler) back onto the roster: I mean just look at the help he has this year in Landry, Toler, Davis and Butler versus having to consistently deal with Cassius Vaughn, Sergio Brown, Tom Zbikowski and Joe Lefeged last season. Though I do have my concerns of this secondary being exposed if the defense can't collectively stop the run (I am still not sold on the rush defense even with the front 7 upgrades) I still have high hopes. All this on top of the fact Pagano is back; I consider him to be one of the best secondary coaches in the entire league (defensive play improved significantly when he got back last year), and I think this secondary is primed for a fantastic season, a top 10 finish.

Juni 2014
BeschreibungThe Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 was of enormous international as well as national significance. In this gripping volume, Frances Lannon explains how this internal conflict between democracy and its enemies escalated to involve Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. We go behind the scenes to find out the true story of the bitter fighting within the sides, not just between them. The experiences of the men and women caught up in the fighting are highlighted. For them, and for a world on the brink of the Second World War, the stakes were agonisingly high.
PortraitFrances Lannon is Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. She has published extensively on the cultural and political origins and significance of the Spanish Civil War, including 'Privilege, Persecution and Prophecy: The Catholic Church in Spain 1875-1975' (1987), and recent articles on women in the Civil War.

Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
@Naumov23 what do you think mobile phone games are any more adult? In the end they are basically the same thing. also if you do like apps well ps vita will also have that as well with playstation suite SDK.
on top of everything why would you want to waste time on you're phones battery playing a game. when you could use a 2nd gamming device to not waste the time on you're phones battery, and use that extra time you get for other things like calling someone, or whatever.
to me it just seems you do like handhelds ,but peer pressure is pushing you back.
on a side note most people do not play there handhelds as there out. some play it in hotels ,in bathrooms, laying down, in there bed, at there grandmas, or a day they did not feel like getting up, and going to the tv because of whatever. not many actually play them on the go.
me I like handhelds more then home gamming systems. why well because of the types of games that are made for handhelds. also how I can go anywhere in my house sit in any position , and have the freedom to go anywhere if i so choose to, and also not be stuck on my tv or pc in one room.
Want a option to buy avatar's on the ps vita's psn store. Then vote on the link by copying it to your web browser.
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
Hm.. if you think about there are tons of games on consoles and handhelds that are rated M for Mature (17 and older...) so I wouldn't say Call of Duty, Resistance, Killzone or Uncharted is for "kids"
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
I think it depends on the platform. IMO, the 3DS is very kiddish and is only now starting to see games for 'older' people. The Vita however does have a lot of mature games coming out like resistance and killzone so I wouldn't say handhelds are for kids. I do understand your point though because I loved my handhelds when I was a kid (Gameboy, Gameboy colour, Gamegear, Gameboy advance) and the PSP was a good machine as well. I'm taking a chance with this one because I think it will be great. I used to have a DS but the games for it are so childish and there's only a few must have games really.
Anyway, the short answer to your question is no....
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
Hey guys,
please keep any kind of personal attack out of this thread
Now - on topic...
I think the Vita is really a grown up model of handheld. It's got a lot of advanced features that would appeal to and draw in older games, along with more mature games like has already been mentioned.
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
It really is all a matter of personal preference. I play lots of games on DS and PSP, and plan to get a Vita. It's funny, because in my case, having played video games for over 25 years, I am actually gravitating towards handhelds, and away from consoles. I've got the DS for more casual games (love the TouchMaster series), and I love the fighting games on PSP. I can kick back with a handheld on the couch, on a recliner, on my porch, anywhere. I'm also a retro fan,so I know the Vita's compatibility with PSP on PSN titles will fit the bill nicely.
I do not have a PS3 or Xbox 360, and am not really interested in either.
I am very much looking forward to the PS Vita.
I am a portable gamer now, because that's how I roll.
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
I think it all boils down to the type of gamer you are and where you play, and with modern handhelds, what else you do with your PSP.
I'm pushing 40 and still use my PSP. The games are smarter, and I have the GPS, and the Camera with the european software so I can make stop motion videos and take pics of the kids. I bought all my kids PSP's (3000's) and got them a camera as well. One loves hers a plays it constantly and sends me pics etc. One only uses the camera and doesn't play the games that much, the last hasn't toushed hers in 6 months. My 11 your old buy prefers the DS we have, because of the games he plays, but still used the PSP for portable internet, and FPS games.
I say look at what the PSVita does and decide if you will use it. With skype on a 3g unit you have a hasic cell phone with a lot of smart phone options. If they put iBook on the PS Vita I will be getting rid of my phone in favor of the vita. I hate phone games, and I game and read books all day (bus ride home, lunch break, smoke break). I use my PS3 enough, and use my PSP enough it still makes sence for me.
But if you are not going to use at least half the new features, and don't play handheld games at least 3 times a week, can you really justify 300 bucks, plus games. In that case I would say save some money and get another 3000. The price of games will drop like a stone and system in self is already down to 130
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
I'm sure many would say all video games are for kids. That didn't stop you from getting a PS3 or PSP did it? Why would it be different with a Vita?

I'm 30 and I still want a PS Vita. I have plenty of responsibilities to take care of, but there will always be time for gaming, even on handhelds.
So to answer your question, no, you're not too old for a PS Vita.
This thread just reminded me of this commercial:
Haha! Yeah, I have seen that commercial before. Good marketting (I guess) makes commercials serve as an analogy for conversation.
To the thread's author, I would simply respond that you should not waste your time trying to be something that is in the minds eye for someone else. Be your self, otherwise you will go though life being insecure, not sure what to do and have very little confidence in your self or in your decisions and these thoughts will show up in you actions.
If you want to buy a PS Vita than buy it. Not that I am forcing you to buy it (as bias aka "fan boyish" as it might seem) but, do what you feel is good. It is not hurting anyone if you buy a PS Vita especially if you want to play a video game to bring you some form of entertain for a determinate amount of time. I see no particular harm in playing video games, especially if other people really want to lay video games. It seems like a win-win scenario, tbh.
Do not listen to other people's critiques, if they are not constructive and if they do not apply to you. Go with the flow.
Re: I feel like handhelds are for kids..
I can see what you mean. But gaming is for everyone know a days its more an entertainment piece than "just for kids". But imo I'm going to get a weird feeling though when I have my breaks around campus using the Vita. This is more of a "mature" handheld person's gaming choice. I wasn't interested in the 3ds cause of the lack of games that applied to me. Then the Vita came along.

Most individuals we treat at The Ranch addiction and mental health rehab program have underlying issues of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that fuel substance abuse, depression, anxiety, codependency, eating disorders or hypersexual behavior. A common misconception is that PTSD can only result from a catastrophic event such as military combat, assault or a natural disaster; however, there are many types of trauma that are more subtle, but just as emotionally damaging.
The Ranch mental health center and drug rehab provides comprehensive complex trauma and PTSD treatment for survivors of childhood and/or adult trauma. Learn more about our PTSD inpatient treatment or call 844-876-7680.
What Is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a medical diagnosis given when trauma-related symptoms persist and interrupt daily life. Considered an anxiety disorder, it is treated with a variety of approaches from counseling and relaxation techniques to psychiatric services and medications as well as specialized trauma therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing®. For some, PTSD requires intensive support and therapy in a PTSD treatment center.
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD is caused by exposure to various types of trauma. A direct, firsthand experience, for example, such as assault victimization or involvement in an accident, a life-threatening illness or natural or manmade disaster can cause the type of trauma reaction seen in PTSD. Witnessing the plight of others who are in danger, suffering, or who are seriously injured or killed, as well as learning about traumatic events that others have experienced can also cause PTSD.
Exposure to the following can result in PTSD:
- The possibility or actuality of one's own serious injury or loss of physical integrity (extreme violation)
- The possibility of one's own death
- The possibility or actuality of another's serious injury or loss of physical integrity
- The possibility or actuality of another's death
Traumatic exposure causes severe emotional and psychological effects such as intense fear and helplessness. In PTSD-related trauma, one is abruptly confronted with overwhelming life circumstances and adverse consequences that induce trauma symptoms.
Types of PTSD Symptoms
Post-traumatic stress disorder manifests as clinically significant and persisting trauma symptoms for more than one month. PTSD symptoms are grouped into three major categories:
Re-Experiencing Trauma
A central characteristic of PTSD is re-experiencing the traumatic event(s). This usually occurs with distressful memories and intrusive thoughts (unwanted thoughts that occur spontaneously as if "intruding"). Both of these symptoms, if severe enough, can interfere with concentration, decision-making, problem-solving, mood stability, sense of well-being, performance and participation in daily events.
Re-experiencing symptoms are considered clinically significant if they interfere with important areas of functioning such as the performance of one's usual social, occupational, or family roles and routines. Distressful memories and intrusive thoughts can also interrupt sleep, affect appetite and interfere with other types of self-care and health maintenance activities. If severe and persistent enough, these cognitive symptoms can occur in all life situations, seriously affecting all realms of normal functioning.
Traumatic events may also be re-experienced in dreams or nightmares. The trauma may be relived in dreams that replay actual events or in dreams and nightmares that relate to the trauma in more symbolic and exaggerated ways. Fear and helplessness are typical reactions resulting from these types of dreams. These trauma symptoms can cause an individual to have chronically inadequate sleep and to resist sleep altogether.
Another form of re-experiencing is commonly called flashbacks. These are intense experiences of reliving trauma while awake. They are brief periods of dissociation in which the past event seems to be occurring in the present. Flashbacks are disorienting and very distressing experiences. The fear, helplessness and/or horror of the original situation are vividly relived and some will respond to them as if the trauma is actually happening again. These are called dissociative experiences because one is abruptly separated or detached (dissociated) from the actual present situation and events.
Numbing and Avoidance Trauma Symptoms
Trauma symptoms can manifest as "shutting down" or unresponsiveness to one's current experience. "Numbing" or dulled emotions and sensations cause a lack of interest and diminished participation in usual interactions and activities.
Avoiding reminders of the traumatic event is a common PTSD symptom. One may actively avoid discussing the event and try to avoid memories, thoughts and feelings about the trauma. Avoidance can significantly interrupt the daily routine as some individuals will seclude themselves, withdrawing from interactions and usual activities or go to other great lengths to avoid reminders of the trauma.
Hyperarousal Trauma Symptoms
A state of increased arousal is typical in PTSD. Elevated levels of fear, distrust, watchfulness (hypervigilance) and anxiety are usual symptoms. Wakefulness, physical agitation, irritability and being easily startled are common manifestations of arousal that persist and interrupt usual functioning. Hyperarousal symptoms are symptoms of alertness and increased energy experienced in situations of danger. In PTSD, these continue well past the time of actual danger.
Types of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
There are three different types of post-traumatic stress disorder. Each is a distinct medical diagnosis. Onset and duration of trauma symptoms are indicated by the specific diagnoses.
The three types of PTSD:
Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Acute post-traumatic stress disorder involves symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal that last less than three months.
Chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Chronic post-traumatic stress disorder involves symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal that persist for three months or longer.
Delayed Onset Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
In delayed onset post-traumatic stress disorder, symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal begin after at least six months have passed since the traumatic event.

In its first quarterly report since announcing plans to go all in on the Internet cloud, Adobe Systems (ADBE) is expected to show a continued slide in sales and earnings as it makes the transition from licensed to subscription software.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the graphic design software firm to earn 33 cents a share excluding items on sales of nearly $1.01 billion for its fiscal second quarter. That would translate to year-to-year declines of 45% and 10%, respectively. Adobe is scheduled to report Q2 results after the market close on Tuesday.
Adobe's flagship Creative Suite business is seeing near-term declines as customers move from buying the software upfront with one-time payments to leasing the software on a monthly subscription basis. Over time, Adobe expects its customers will end up paying more for its software, because they won't be skipping incremental releases to save money.
Investors watching the Q2 results will be focused on the company's transition to the subscription business model. Key metrics include subscriber numbers and annual revenue run rate. Adobe is targeting 1.25 million subscribers by year's end. As of March 19, Adobe had more than 500,000 paid subscribers of its Creative Cloud offering.
Adobe added 153,000 net new subscribers for the Creative Cloud in its fiscal Q1 ended March 1. It ended Q1 with 479,000 paid Creative Cloud members, up 47% from its Q4.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Breza expects Adobe to added 200,000 new Creative Cloud subscribers in Q2. Adobe guided to "slightly more" than the 153,000 subscribers it added in Q1.
"As a reminder, subscribers are expected to increase (quarter-to-quarter) through the year and total 1.25M for the year," Breza wrote in a research note Thursday. "The recent launch of Creative Cloud for Teams and a yet to be launched enterprise version, which together represent (about) 50% of the installed base, should help ramp subscribers going forward."
On May 6, Adobe announced that it has stopped development of its legacy licensed creative professional software and is putting its full support behind its Internet cloud offerings. New versions of such familiar products as Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver would be available only through Adobe's Creative Cloud service.
That announcement has helped to accelerate adoption of Adobe's subscription offering, Wedge Partners analyst Kirk Adams said in a research note Thursday.
For its current fiscal Q3, Wall Street analysts are modeling Adobe to earn 35 cents a share minus items on sales of $1.01 billion. Those targets would translate to year-to-year declines of 40% and 6%, respectively.
Adobe shares were up nearly 2% in afternoon trading in the stock market today.

"Oh shit."
That simple profanity alerted Professor Snape that something was amiss more than usual. His students normally opted for something slightly more discreet, and if it was worth that blunt exclamation, it had to be disastrous. He walked behind the slender, black-haired student that had said it, becoming slightly alarmed at the fact that instead of the potion being a deep red and still, it was pink, and bubbling uncontrollably. The professor already knew what had gone wrong; they didn't just give out the title of Potions Master.
"Potter you idiot!" he roared, causing the boy to jump, and everyone else besides, also causing someone to scream in shock. "Did you add in the powdered mother-of-pearl?" The Potions Master's voice was dangerously low. Harry groaned. "Add it in now, before that thing explo—"
They were cut off by the sound of an actual explosion. Harry looked down at his cauldron, expecting to find it in pieces. His, however, was fine. He looked around and saw poor Neville looking like he had stuck his face into black paint, completely terrified, and Seamus looking rather irritated.
"Potter…" Snape growled, his desire to kill Harry all too evident. "You have two weeks of detention with me."
"What?" Harry yelped, shocked.
"And an essay on the importance of adding the correct ingredients so that the professor can concentrate on the more dangerous students." At this, the angry man glared at Neville and Seamus. "Two rolls, given to me within three days. If I see Miss Granger's handwriting anywhere on it, even in edits, it will be another two rolls on doing your own work, Potter."
"But why the detention?" Harry found himself asking before he could stop himself.
"For the damage you caused by keeping me from preventing the explosion in Longbottom's cauldron. Class dismissed. I've had enough of you." With that, the professor swept from the room, and Harry glared at his back.
"That's bullshit," Harry growled, picking up his equipment and packing it away. He was the last in the room; everyone else had sprinted out, lest Snape come back in his foul mood.
"Oh, hi Harry!" He turned to see a familiar blonde looking at him.
"Hi Luna," he said rather irritably. She looked him over.
"Whatever happened, it'll be alright," she assured him, her serene smile on her face. He laughed bitterly.
"No it won't. I have to write two scrolls on adding the right ingredients, and I have two weeks of detention!" he said vehemently, violently picking up his bag. "I'll see you." She waved at him happily as he walked away.
"Oh my dear boy," the breathy woman said, staring at him gravely. He rolled his eyes and glared at her.
"I know, I'm going to die a gruesome death tomorrow," he snapped. She looked taken aback.
"No need to get angry. I was going to say that you will become entangled with something you shouldn't. And yes, you will be mauled by wolves," she added, walking off to another table. Harry turned to Ron.
"I'm sick of hearing her predict my death," he said. "She's so full of it. Especially about becoming entangled with something? That's stupid." Ron shrugged, clearly unsure how to appease his angry friend.
Harry was walking back to his common room to put his books away. At the end of the hall, he caught a glimpse of a tall blonde walking away. He nearly screamed. Why did Lucius Malfoy have to show up today of all days? He could have dealt with it any other day, but today was the worst. That damn man seemed to make his mission in life to torment him with snide comments about his feats, and anger at the fact that Harry had landed him in Azkaban. Harry did suppose that he would be bitter towards anyone who had led to his imprisonment. But still, it was the worst day for the prat to show up.
Harry let out a roar of frustration, angrily throwing his wand down to his mattress. He yelled in surprise when sparks shot out the end and landed on the curtain, starting a small fire. With a quick spell, Harry put the flames out and let out another angry cry, throwing his robes off and putting on something more comfortable for dinner. He was a little late, he knew, but there would still be plenty of food. Besides, there was less of a chance of running into Malfoy if he were a little later.
He walked through the halls, looking down at the floor, hands shoved into pockets, muttering angrily. Some days were just horrible; if one thing went wrong, everything after that went wrong. Of course, by this philosophy, Harry knew he was bound to have to talk to Lucius at some point. He wasn't prepared, however, to walk right into the snake himself. Harry groaned; he'd hoped it would just be a simple passing in the hall, a few curt words, and then they'd be on their way. But no, he had to nearly knock him over. The elder Malfoy glared down at Harry.
"Watch where you're going, boy," he said in a silky tone that dripped malice. Harry rolled his eyes, just wanting to get out of the situation that was bound to make his day worse. Malfoy's eyes narrowed. "Why, you insolent brat!" he hissed. "I would have thought that the hero of the Wizarding world would have at least decent enough manners to apologize. I was minding my own, trying to make my way to that idiot headmaster's office, and you nearly cause me to fall in an undignified heap to the floor." The blonde man looked like he wanted nothing more than to put his hand to Harry's throat and squeeze.
Harry glared at him, his nails making crescent-shaped indents into the palms of his hands. "Fuck off, sir," he said with nasty emphasis. "First, I've been having a horrid day, and I don't need you to make it dismal. Second, I don't give a damn what the 'hero' should or shouldn't have. Third, you could have moved out of the way. Just because I wasn't watching where I was going because the halls are normally empty around this time, doesn't mean you can't move your ass out of my way, you fucker." He reeled back after the powerful slap that Lucius aimed at his face. Somehow, it felt strangely liberating to have said everything, even though it was uncharacteristic to be so… mean about it. It felt good, honestly.
"Don't you ever say that to me again," Lucius snarled, adjusting the black leather gloves he wore.
"What, tell you to fuck off? Or call you a fucker?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. His smirk simply infuriated Lucius further. Lucius' glare cut like diamond, his eyes shining with a cruel determination.
"I'll teach you some manners, Potter," he spat, dragging Harry into a nearby, empty classroom. He began removing his cloak. He turned to Harry, whose glare would have stopped a slightly less determined man. He pushed the teen against the wall and roughly shoved his mouth on the younger boy's. For a moment, Harry simply stood there, frozen. He felt himself giving into Lucius' lips. It felt right to be kissing him, but it wasn't right at all. It was beyond wrong, he knew. Or at least, that's what he tried to tell himself. Harry's hands made their way to Lucius' back. His lips parted slightly and Lucius' tongue darted inside Harry's mouth. The sudden intrusion alerted Harry to exactly what was happening, and the moment he realized what he had done, he began to fight back, his nails raking the blonde's back through the suit he wore. Lucius recoiled with a sharp intake of breath. He was flushed, several strands of hair out of place. He looked pleased with himself, but unsatisfied. Smoothing back his hair, he took his cloak and turned on his heel. "Next time, Potter, I won't be so easy on you."
Harry watched the older man go and sank to the floor. What exactly had that been? He'd felt anger in Lucius' lips, but also lust. Somehow, they had felt wonderful. Not like Ginny's, or like Cho's. They were firm and controlling, not waiting for him to take the lead he never really wanted to take. Then, when his tongue had found its way into his mouth, it had startled him out of his reverie, though he sincerely wished he hadn't ended it. There was no denying that he had enjoyed the elder Malfoy's "discipline." Lucius' lips had tasted like fine wine, as if the man had been drinking before visiting Hogwarts. It tasted rather good, actually. The force, and the taste were rather arousing, his lips beginning to tingle. Harry found himself with the beginning of an erection at the mere memory of Lucius' kiss. He blushed fiercely, realizing exactly what it meant. However, he wasn't just going to leave it there. He walked over to the door and closed it softly, retreating back to a corner of the room where he could tend to the growing bulge in his pants.
Harry walked out of the room in a state of disbelief. Had he really just jerked himself off to the thought of Lucius Malfoy, the father of his rival, and twice his age? The man was beautiful, yes, but cruel and unmerciful. Harry had always pictured himself with someone who was the picture of kindness, who would truly care. But the idea of Lucius' "bad boy" image was alluring in an entirely different way. It was incredibly unusual. There was also the maturity Lucius undeniably had. His schoolmates were still children in his eyes. He knew he needed someone who could at least try to understand what he had been through, and hold an intelligent conversation. Harry knew Lucius was intelligent, as well as beautiful, and the sudden thought of actually sleeping with him made him know what he wanted. The fact that he had called Lucius' name when he came, imagining those smooth hands instead of his own calloused hands, was enough to leave him embarrassed and a little angry with himself. He needed to talk to Hermione.
He found Hermione in the Library after having gone to wash his hands. She looked up at him and a concerned look crossed her face.
"Harry… Your lips are bruised," she said, scrutinizing them. Harry blushed.
"'Mione, I need some help. I ran into Lucius Malfoy. No, don't say anything yet," he said when she opened her mouth to speak. He continued. "I was already having a bad fucking day with Snape and Trelawney, and then I nearly made him fall and he got pissed, so I told him to fuck off." Hermione gasped, a hand over her mouth. Harry grinned sheepishly. "Then, he… um… he took me into an abandoned classroom and kind of attacked me with his mouth. Then he just left."
"Harry, you need to tell McGonagall," Hermione whispered shrilly. She couldn't scream or Madame Pince would kick them out.
"Actually 'Mione, after he left, I kind of… well, the memory of him sexually aroused me," he admitted uncomfortably. Hermione stared at him as if she had been hit with a brick in the face.
"Please tell me you did not masturbate to LUCIUS MALFOY!" she hissed. Harry blanched and Hermione looked pleadingly to him. "Oh no, you did, didn't you?" Harry nodded. Hermione groaned and put her face in her hands. "Honestly Harry, this is a really bad way to come out to me. I mean, I'd figured it out already, but he's not the person that makes you want to figure it out."
"'Mione, I'd known I was gay for a while," he said slowly, raising an eyebrow. "I mean, I went out with Seamus secretly for a while. We'd meet in the Room of Requirement and we'd—"
"That's quite enough, thank you," Hermione said pointedly. Harry blushed, thinking about what he'd almost said. "But does Ron know? He may take it harshly, especially after that horrid book he bought you for your birthday about charming witches." She made a face that said that she clearly disliked it. Harry snorted.
"It was reading that book that made me figure out my sexuality," he laughed softly. Hermione giggled. "I think I might be attracted to him. I mean, definitely sexually. But I think maybe just in general. I'd always seen myself with someone who was really caring and everything, but I just find Lucius downright sexy, and the idea of the bad boy image is actually appealing. I guess I just like a little bit of adventure." He shrugged. "Well, I really should go raid the kitchens and get something to eat. I'm starved. I'm pretty sure dinner is over now."
Hermione leaned in and whispered, "I hear orgasming burns a lot of calories. He is pretty sexy, Harry." Harry blushed crimson at Hermione's rare shamelessness as he walked away.

|[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3759) Geronimo Tomcat Clustering - No GBeans for adding Static Members

I'm not sure why this is. There could be a number of reasons. I suggest you start with a fresh server and copy only the changes necessary from any external config.xml. For example, start with the default config.xml and copy over only the necessary clustering config from the attached config_ag21.xml. I'm not sure how you lost the mconsole-ds module since it seems to be present both in the config_ag21.xml as well as the default config.xml that my server build starts with. For clarification, I ran this on Geronimo Tomcat Java EE 5 2.1.3. If you have any further trouble with this, please post questions to the user list with a reference to this jira. I don't believe the comment section of a long closed jira is the best place for discussing bugs that aren't really related to the changes made in relation to that jira. > Geronimo Tomcat Clustering - No GBeans for adding Static Members > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-3759 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3759 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: Clustering > Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.1.1 > Reporter: Shiva Kumar H R > Assignee: Jason Warner > Fix For: 2.1.3, 2.2 > > Attachments: ClusteringStaticMembers_GERONIMO-3759.patch, config.xml, config_ag21.xml, tomcat_server.xml > > > Tomcat uses multicasting for discovering cluster members.

Many travelers, both frequent and infrequent, are vaguely aware that their credit card may protect travel investments. This protection is often marketed as free benefits offered by the credit card companies to make your life a little easier. But do these benefits really cover travelers fully?
We've done our research and we believe comprehensive travel insurance is the best option for any traveler whether they are traveling in the U.S., to the U.S. or outside of the U.S. Let us explain:
Pre-Existing Conditions
While most credit cards that offer travel protection also offer travel accident assistance (closely related to travel medical insurance), they restrict this coverage from customers with pre-existing conditions. So if you had a medical test done that revealed an irregular rhythm in your heart, then any related illness or injury while you're traveling, like a heart attack or chest pains, will most likely not be covered by your credit card insurance.
The same could be said for a comprehensive plan, but several plans provide a pre-existing condition waiver which removes the pre-existing condition exclusion. Provided the traveler purchases the plan within the specified time period after their first trip payment, is medically fit to travel and meets all other coverage requirements, the pre-existing condition waiver can help to ensure reimbursement for a covered illness or injury while traveling.
Long-Term Travel
Sometimes, travelers take extended trips. Most credit cards will not cover trips that last longer than 60 days. If you are planning on taking a trip that lasts a full season or semester, your credit card may not give you adequate protection.
You can purchase a comprehensive plan that is specifically designed to protect a traveler during longer trips. These plans have trip interruption and travel medical coverage to protect travelers during their extended time away.
Medical Evacuation
Not all credit cards will provide coverage for emergency medical evacuation, but all comprehensive travel insurance plans offered on InsureMyTrip do. It's an incredible benefit that will help to get the traveler to the most appropriate hospital for their covered illness or injury.
Unlike credit card insurance, some comprehensive plans may allow for "hospital of choice" coverage. This benefit may allow the traveler to be evacuated to a hospital near their home if the attending physician deems it necessary and they are medically fit to be transported. Medical evacuation costs can be pretty substantial, and the right plan can help with this cost.
Credit Card Choice
Not every card has travel protection benefits; does yours have it included? For the most part, you'll find that the high-tier cards include the benefit. So, if your credit card is a "Sapphire", "Signature", "AAdvantage" or any of the "best" cards – you probably have this benefit, and most likely an annual fee. If your card is missing those words, you should look closer at what's included with your account.
If you purchase a comprehensive travel insurance plan, you will never have to wonder if you have the benefits. You'll know what is included and excluded because each plan comes with a detailed certificate that outlines this for you. Even better, if you purchase your plan from InsureMyTrip, you'll have access to incredible representatives that can answer any question you have on that plan!

Blogs Liberty and Power Just Unbelievable. Unbelievable.Apr 19, 2004 2:11 pm
Just Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
You can be certain that a disaster must be in the making, when reality manages to seep through even into the editorial ranks at National Review. Via Matthew Barganier (and as David Beito already mentioned here), I note that those self-same editors who have been endlessly advocating for remaking the entire Middle East -- for which project the invasion of Iraq was only the very first domino, you will undoubtedly recall -- are now announcing that we must be"realistic," and they even dare to criticize the Bush Administration for believing its own propaganda!
I mean, really. How much lower can you get:
Since the conclusion of the war, the Bush administration has shown a dismaying capacity to believe its own public relations. The post-war looting was explained away as the natural and understandable exuberance of a newly-liberated people. (Now some Coalition officials suggest that a crackdown would have sped the reconstruction.) Secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld denied the obvious reality of a guerrilla resistance and compared it to urban street crime in the United States. Every piece of good news has been hailed as turning the corner, even as the insurgency has remained stubbornly strong.Of course, being anxious to maintain their credibility and avoid a quick trip to the Institute for the Criminally Ignorant, also known as the Asylum for Deluded Nation-Builders, the NR editors are quick to assure us that the invasion of Iraq was not a"neoconservative war," and that it was urged"primarily" only as a war"to serve U.S. interests."
It is easy now to pick at what seem to have been errors in the occupation. There probably weren't enough troops. The administration probably wasn't determined enough to get international help, even on its own terms — although this would have had to happen in an environment poisoned by U.N. fecklessness and French bad faith in the run-up to the war. The administration clearly wasn't ready for the magnitude of the task that rebuilding and occupying Iraq would present.
Even if the administration had avoided these mistakes and made all moves correctly, it is still possible Iraq would be very messy. But this concession points to an intellectual mistake made prior to the occupation: an underestimation in general of the difficulty of implanting democracy in alien soil, and an overestimation in particular of the sophistication of what is fundamentally still a tribal society and one devastated by decades of tyranny. This was largely, if not entirely, a Wilsonian mistake. The Wilsonian tendency has grown stronger in conservative foreign-policy thought in recent years, with both benefits (idealism should occupy an important place in American foreign policy, and almost always has) and drawbacks (as we have seen in Iraq, the world isn't as malleable as some Wilsonians would have it).
But this is only true if you construe"U.S. interests" to require regime change for every third- or fourth-rate dictatorship in the world -- and if you believe that the existence of any government not to our liking gravely imperils our own safety. Simple common sense ought to inform you that this is clearly and obviously not the case (and a tiny smattering of history wouldn't hurt either) -- but common sense and the kind of lowered"expectations" that NR urges now, now that Iraq shows every sign of exploding into even more of a hell on earth than it was before, are qualities that have been notably absent from the pages of National Review for more than a year. And after pushing the notion of turning Iraq into a model of democracy for the Middle East, they actually have the nerve to say that"it is time for reality to drive our Iraq policy, unhindered by illusions or wishful thinking." (The title of the editorial is, and I do not make this up:"An End to Illusion." We've gone through the looking glass, Alice.)
If the NR editors truly expect us to believe that they never endorsed the kind of neoconservative nation-building project that requires projecting American force into every corner of the globe, then the only possible response is the one Al Franken employs when confronted by similar instances of mendacity. This is not to suggest that I agree with Franken's liberal politics; obviously, I do not. But his response is the only appropriate one that comes to mind:
There, I feel better now. Try it. Say it as loudly and in as drawn-out a manner as you can. You'll feel better, too. I guarantee it.
(Cross-posted at The Light of Reason.)
UPDATE: If you want to consider a remarkably blatant example of the kind of foreign policy"thinking" that goes on at National Review, consider my discussion of a Jonah Goldberg article from a number of months ago. Goldberg's policy prescriptions are typical of NR; the only difference is that, in this instance, he was unusually clear about his motives and goals.
