German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Health Issues (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/)
- - Does he have HD? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/426954-does-he-have-hd.html)
Does he have HD?
So I was looking at the symptoms of HD in dogs. I noticed that "bunny hopping" was one of them. So that was no big deal until i realized that Rosco "bunny hops" when he runs. He doesn't look like he's in pain but he whines a lot. I'm guessing it's either because we brought him home just 3 days ago or because he is teething (he's 3 1/2 months old). But he walks funny too. He's really clumsy when he's walking around. Is this because his bones are still developing? And when I lightly push down on his rear he sits down easily. I heard that was also a symptom of HD? Both his parents are ASL. I know they have a different way of running and walking. So is this normal for him? Should i b e concerned?
BTW he has a guarantee on his hips and elbows.
The only way to know if a dog has HD is xrays. And yes they can develop HD as a puppy.
However, I imagine that yours is a typical 14 week old puppy who has too big feet, clumsy body and is just in the puppy growth. He probably has a lot of angulation in the rear, which also makes babies clumsy . Lots of legs to grow into.
Clumsiness as a pup, especially an ASL, have nothing to do with HD and everything to do with structure! I have seen GSD pups at AKC shows whose back legs looked like egg beaters and wondered how they could walk...but then the same dog months later went much better....this style of dog just moves differently and as a puppy that extreme angulation just makes their movement look bad. Has nothing to do with HD, some of the really angulated dogs I have seen have OFA Good hips.
I would not worry about HD right now, let the pup grow up, he will get in better control of his body as he gets older.
Hello, try not to worry too much about your pup. They can be so clumsy and hop around on occasion. I wouldn't advise pushing down on his rear, though, the hips are developing and you don't want to put too much stress on the hip joint. Just try to enjoy without worrying about HD, you can always X-ray when the dog is older, have fun with the pup! :)Bob
I don't think any "type" is more prone to HD than another....just that so many people look at that angulation and movement and - not really understanding WHAT HD actually is! - assume that the dog has HD....
HD is the structure of the hip joint basically. Not the angulation or the movement....a good dog/horse person can sometimes see movement that is suspect - but it is much more subtle than what you are seeing.
Don't worry about it too much - if the pup comes from OFA certified breeding stock, your chances are better that the hips will be fine...no guarantees, but dice are loaded for better hips.
With HP dogs don't cry out of pain. It could be Canine degenerative myelopathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and your dog doesn't have to be old for that. Why couldn't such things be adressed to the vet first?

Unlike wine which only gets better with time the time span of an NFL athlete has an expiration date. No matter how intensity the veterans off season workout may be every player on the gridiron will lose the battle to father time. Each year the NFL get an infusion of new faces, fresh legs, and new talent and in order to make room for the next group of stars veterans are forced to either retire, be cut, or waived. The franchise cornerstones of fans favorite teams struggle accepting this inevitable fate and often fail to leave with their pride intact.
The NFL waiver wire is filled with players who have collected their fair share of honors at the height of their career who are now unemployed looking for work. Even Canton-bound Hall-of-Famers like former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and 2011 Defensive MVP Charles Woodson must find a new home place to finish the final years of their career.
The brutality and sheer violence of the NFL game played on the gridiron is nowhere near as intense as the cold truths issued out by an NFL franchise front office. At the prime of a franchise player's career he can do no wrong but with each new acquisition or draft selection the same player many viewed to be irreplaceable will one day be deemed an expendable asset.
Although a few of the former All-Pro players will receive another chance at stardom, majority of them will be forced to accept the reality that their time in the NFL is done. Which veteran who once filled stadiums and excited masses will be left waiting in vain for that call that will never come? Ex- Pittburgh Steelers linebacker, James Harrison? Ex – New York Jets linebacker Byron Scott? Ex- Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney? Ex- Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner? In time the answer to these questions and more will be revealed because in the NFL its not the guy in pads but the guy in the tailored suit with matching cuff-lings who will end their career in the NFL. Stay tuned… I know I will – A. Denmark

ok. so ever heard of William Shakespeare? sure you have. he was one of the best and most famous play writer in the history of the world. (aside from the fact that he stole everything he wrote. so ignore that last statement—he was a good liar and a lousy play writer. idk.)
so i saw, in theatre (well, our theatre doesn't count as a real theatre, but it was good anyway) "The complete works of William Shakespeare, Abridged." it was three people, two men and a woman, (Chuck, Noami, and Carlos) doing every single one of Shakespeare's plays condensed into two hours. yeah. it was amazing to say the least.
so here's what happened to me:
i was sitting there while they were doing Hamlet. it was after the intermission. and they called me onto the stage to play a part.
yeah. seriously.
i was just sitting there and they guy said "we need with Ophelia—your help right there. in the green. with her hands over her mouth." and the girl came down and dragged me onto the stage and i was shaking and everything. but then i got a hold of myself and thought ok, Haley, you're onstage now, you can do this.
so they go on explaining what I'm going to be doing. Noami (yeah, it's supposed to be that way. i think it's cool. no-a-me.) told me my cue and said that when she says a line i have to scream. so when she said the cue… i (unintentionally) let out this little squeak.
ok so i meant it to be quiet, but not that quiet.
but everyone laughed, so that was good.
anyway, the "jerk" (who wasn't really a jerk, just doing his part) Chuck started "criticizing" me… lol it was hilarious. i hammed it up, too. got all defensive, then smirked at him, and everything. (hey, i can be sarcastic)
anyway, at that point, Noami and Chuck started to tell the audience what they were going to be doing to get me to scream louder. they were going to symbolize everything going on inside my head. one person, this old bald guy, would run up and down the stage pretending to be my "insanity." (haha. my insanity is an old guy.) the people in the front two rows were waving their hands saying "maybe, maybe not." one third of the auditorium was saying "get the to a nunnery" (meaning get out of my life i hate you.) the next third said something (idk what) about me being ugly, and the third said "cut the crap, Hamlet. my biological clock is ticking and I want my babies NOW!" (haha. i turned my head away for that part…)
anyway. while they were all being taught their parts, Carlos (the guy who picked me to come up) was giving me a little bit of one on one coaching near the back half of the stage. how to scream loud, what i was supposed to feel in my body, what was going on inside my head etc… and i hadn't told him that i'd had any experience.
so they lights went down, the old guy started running across the stage back and forth. i could hear voices…. lol the audience did a great job, too. then they pointed to me and said my cue, the lights all turned red, and i screamed as loud as i could, first pulling my head up then doubling over but not falling.
for those of you who don't know… I'm loud. i could hear my voice bounce back onto the back wall and hit me again… weird feeling.
it was so much fun. I've never been able to scream as loud as i could. and that rocked :D
and i don't think the actors were prepared for more than a scream, but it was SO MUCH FUN getting into that part.
haha. everyone thought i was a plant! an actor who was told to sit in the audience. probably because Chuck was, too. he started off in the second row. but he was so much of a ham within the first two minutes of just sitting there talking to the people, that i had my suspicions… anyway.
so that's what happened to me.
those of you who can, go see the show! it was definitely not for anyone under the age of fourteen or fifteen, so don't bring your young impressionable children or they may be scarred for life and pick up some not-so-pious habits or nasty language.
Sunday is the last day here in New Bern. students are only $5 a ticket. so go!!!!
love always,

More Drama! Massive Brawl Erupts During Love & Hip Hop ATL Reunion [Video]
Things got way of hand yesterday (July 15) during the taping of the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Reunion. It got so bad that the cops and paramedics were called to treat several of the cast members for injuries. According to sources, the fights involved Mimi, Tammy, Althea, Joseline, Debra, Stevie J and Benzino.
Now yesterday we reported that Stevie J leaked semi-nude photo of Benzino's fiancée Althea Heart….. well there was so much tension definitely in the room and in retaliation Benzino cracked about Stevie J and Joseline's alleged drug use. While security tried to separate Benzino and Stevie J, TMZ reports that Joseline attacked Althea.
Apparently that wasn't it for Ms. Joseline, she manages to attack Waka's wife Tammy and both Bambi and Waka's mom jumped in. According to theJasmineBrand, they even stopped filming and had everyone return to their hotels.
Watch the clip below:
SMH… We'll keep you posted on the reunion date.

Ghost Eyes
Suddenly, something made the man whip around. There, at the very edge of his field of visioin, there had been a movement. The figure turned, eyes darting wildly and scouring the darkness for any further movement. There it was again. A shape, black against the murk. His breathing quickened. The hairs on the back of his neck rose and his hands curled into fists at his sides:
"Who's there?" he called defiantly, desperately trying to quash the fear creeping into his voice. "Show yourself!"
A laugh eminated from the shadows, low and ominous as the snarling of some great animal. The man clenched his fists, his face as bone-white as his knuckles. He called again, louder and more agitated. The intruder gave a reluctant sigh and slowly began to emerge from the dark. Eventually it stopped, standing several feet away from the man and still completely shrouded in shadow. Nothing could be seen of its face, for it was completely obscured, as if it were a part of the shadows themselves. The only features the man could make out were a pair of eyes shining out of the darkness as if lit by some icy inner fire. They were as pale as mist, even the pupils seemed discoloured - almost as if the colour had been drained out of them. For all their seeming brightness, the eyes had all the warmth and emotion of a blizzard, their depths holding nothing but an iron-hard fury that gleamed evilly in their bleak, heartless depths. Ghost eyes.
"So you're here?" said the eyes, a hint of malicious humour creeping into the velvety tone. "And what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
"Don't play games with me!" the man hissed, taking a step foward out of the lamplight. "You know why I'm here. You haven't been keeping your part of the bargain. I want results, not your false promises."
The eyes laughed again, the sound echoing off the stone houses and making the hairs on the back of the man's neck stand on end. It was hard to believe he was talking to anything but some black-hearted spectre. The sheer evil in those eyes only served to add to the effect.
Finally, the eyes spoke again: "Don't you worry. I have every intention of keeping my half in our little deal." It paused, a momentary shadow clouding its gaze. "I haven't forgotten the last time."
The man smiled. For all its eerie ghostliness, he knew he had a tight hold on this one. After all, beneath this seeming evil, ther was still a human heart at its centre. A rotten, stone-encased, withered heart it may be, but a heart none the less.
"Good," he said. "Now get on with it. I want results by dawn tomorrow. Put those knives of yours to some use."
With that he turned and strode off into the dark, pulling his coat tighter around his shoulders to hide the redness burning there. The eyes watched him leave, their haunting, misty depths burning with smouldering fury. Although it still remained cloaked in shadow, the snarling edge to its voice cut the air like the knives that hung, invisible, at its waist.
"I'll put my knives to use," it hissed. "Just don't be surprised if they end up stuck between your shoulderblades this time."

Architectural engineer (PE)
Architectural engineering is a professional engineering designation in the United States. The architectural engineer applies the knowledge and skills of broader engineering disciplines to the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and renovation of buildings and their component systems while paying careful attention to their effects on the surrounding environment.[1]
With the establishment of a specific "Architectural Engineering" NCEES Professional Engineering registration examination in the 1990s, and first offering in April 2003,[2] Architectural Engineering is now recognized as a distinct engineering discipline in the United States.
Note that in the United States "architectural engineering technology" is different from architectural engineering;[3] in the United States architectural engineering technologists tend to be drafters or assistants for the design and construction process, while in Europe, Canada, South Africa and other countries Architectural Technologists have a role similar to Architects and Architectural Engineers.
Areas of focus[edit]
- Architecture (if licensed as an Architect)
- Structural engineering
- Construction engineering
- Construction management
- Project management
- Green building
- Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC)
- Plumbing and piping (hydronics)
- Energy management
- Fire protection engineering
- Building power systems
- Lighting
- Building transportation systems
- Acoustics, noise & vibration control
A common combined specialization is Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, better known by its abbreviation MEP.[4] An MEP design engineer has experience in HVAC, lighting/electrical, and plumbing systems' analysis and design.
Some topics of special interest[edit]
- Building construction
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Efficient energy use, Energy conservation, or Energy demand management
- Renewable energy
- Solar energy
- Green buildings
- Intelligent buildings
- Autonomous buildings
- Indoor air quality
- Thermal comfort

Doctor K: As we age, our balance is affected
Thu., June 6, 2013, midnight
DEAR DOCTOR K: In a previous column you wrote about the importance of balance exercises as we age. But why does our balance get worse as we get older?
DEAR READER: A number of changes that come with aging can affect our balance.
• Inside our ears is a balance center called the vestibular system that detects where our body is in space. Are we upright or lying flat; are we standing on our feet or performing a handstand?
The vestibular system is connected to centers in the brain that also control our balance. When the vestibular system and brain determine that we're about to fall over, the brain directs the body to take corrective action.
As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off. This affects how accurately we detect our position in space. That, in turn, affects our ability to correct our position.
• Our sight, the ability to focus and see things clearly, diminishes with age. So do depth perception, night vision and sensitivity to contrast. Eye problems can impair, blur or distort vision. The loss of these visual cues compromises balance.
• Blood pressure can dip suddenly when you stand up, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, even fainting. Standing up slowly – sitting first on the side of the bed when you rise, for example – may help.
• We lose a lot of muscle mass and strength as we age. We also lose power – a function of strength and speed – which affects balance, too. If you start to trip, power helps you react swiftly. Exercise can help you rebuild strength and power, or at least slow the pace of decline.
Medications may also increase your risk of falls. They can cause blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness.
Along with regular aerobic exercise and weight training, balance exercises are important as we get older. Such exercises really can help you improve your balance. I've posted some of these simple exercises before, but I think it's worthwhile to highlight them again. You can find them on AskDoctorK.com.

Applications are sandboxed and run across multiple servers.[1] App Engine offers automatic scaling for web applications--as the number of requests increases for an application, App Engine automatically allocates more resources for the web application to handle the additional demand.[2]
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of consumed resources. Fees are charged for additional storage, bandwidth, or instance hours required by the application.[3] It was first released as a preview version in April 2008 and came out of preview in September 2011.
Currently[when?], the supported programming languages are Python, Java (and, by extension, other JVM languages such as Groovy, JRuby, Scala, Clojure), Go, and PHP. Node.js is also available in the Managed VM environment. Google has said that it plans to support more languages in the future, and that the Google App Engine has been written to be language independent.[4]
Python web frameworks that run on Google App Engine include Django, CherryPy, Pyramid, Flask, web2py and webapp2,[5] as well as a custom Google-written webapp framework and several others designed specifically for the platform that emerged since the release.[6] Any Python framework that supports the WSGI using the CGI adapter can be used to create an application; the framework can be uploaded with the developed application. Third-party libraries written in pure Python may also be uploaded.[7][8]
Google App Engine supports many Java standards and frameworks. Core to this is the servlet 2.5 technology using the open-source Jetty Web Server,[9] along with accompanying technologies such as JSP. JavaServer Faces operates with some workarounds.
Though the integrated database, Google Cloud Datastore, may be unfamiliar to programmers, it is easily accessed and supported with JPA, JDO, and by the simple low-level API.[10] There are several alternative libraries and frameworks you can use to model and map the data to the database such as Objectify,[11] Slim3[12] and Jello framework. Jello framework is a full-stack Java framework optimized for Google App Engine that includes comprehensive Data Authorization model and a powerful RESTful engine.[13]
The Spring Framework works with GAE, however the Spring Security module (if used) requires workarounds. Apache Struts 1 is supported, and Struts 2 runs with workarounds.[14]
The Django web framework and applications running on it can be used on App Engine with modification. Django-nonrel[15] aims to allow Django to work with non-relational databases and the project includes support for App Engine.[16]
All billed App Engine applications have a 99.95% uptime SLA.[17]
App Engine is designed in such a way that it can sustain multiple datacenter outages without any downtime. This resilience to downtime is shown by the statistic that the High Replication Datastore saw 0% downtime over a period of a year.[18]
Paid support from Google engineers is offered as part of Premier Accounts.[19] Free support is offered in the App Engine Groups, Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and GitHub, however assistance by a Google staff member is not guaranteed.[20]
SDK version 1.2.2 adds support for bulk downloads of data using Python.[21] The open source Python projects gaebar,[22] approcket,[23] and gawsh[24] also allow users to download and back up App Engine data. No method for bulk downloading data from GAE using Java currently exists.
Compared to other scalable hosting services such as Amazon EC2, App Engine provides more infrastructure to make it easy to write scalable applications, but can only run a limited range of applications designed for that infrastructure.
App Engine's infrastructure removes many of the system administration and development challenges of building applications to scale to hundreds of requests per second and beyond.[27] Google handles deploying code to a cluster, monitoring, failover, and launching application instances as necessary.
While other services let users install and configure nearly any *NIX compatible software, App Engine requires developers to use only its supported languages, APIs, and frameworks. Current APIs allow storing and retrieving data from the document-oriented Google Cloud Datastore database; making HTTP requests; sending e-mail; manipulating images; and caching. Google Cloud SQL can be used for App Engine applications requiring a relational MySQL compatible database backend.[28]
Per-day and per-minute quotas restrict bandwidth and CPU use, number of requests served, number of concurrent requests, and calls to the various APIs, and individual requests are terminated if they take more than 60 seconds or return more than 32MB of data.
Google App Engine's integrated Google Cloud Datastore database has a SQL-like syntax called "GQL". GQL does not support the Join statement[29] Instead, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships can be accomplished using ReferenceProperty.[30] This shared-nothing approach allows disks to fail without the system failing.[31] Switching from a relational database to Cloud Datastore requires a paradigm shift for developers when modeling their data.
Developers worry that the applications will not be portable from App Engine and fear being locked into the technology.[32] In response, there are a number of projects to create open-source back-ends for the various proprietary/closed APIs of app engine, especially the datastore. AppScale, CapeDwarf and TyphoonAE[33] are a few of the open source efforts.
AppScale automatically deploys and scales unmodified Google App Engine applications over popular public and private cloud systems and on-premises clusters.[34] AppScale can run Python, Java, PHP, and Go applications on EC2, Google Compute Engine, Softlayer, Azure and other cloud vendors.
TyphoonAE[33] can run Python App Engine applications on any cloud that support linux machines.
Web2py web framework offers migration between SQL Databases and Google App Engine, however it doesn't support several App Engine-specific features such as transactions and namespaces.[35]
In Google I/O 2011, Google announced App Engine Backends, which are allowed to run continuously, and consume more memory.[36][37] The Backend API was deprecated as of March 13, 2014 in favor of the Modules API.[38]
In Oct 2011, Google previewed a zero maintenance SQL database, which supports JDBC and DB-API.[39] This service allows to create, configure, and use relational databases with App Engine applications. Google Cloud SQL offers MySQL 5.5 and 5.6.[40]
Google App Engine requires a Google account to get started, and an account may allow the developer to register up to 25 free applications and an unlimited number of paid applications.[41]
Google App Engine defines usage quotas for free applications. Extensions to these quotas can be requested, and application authors can pay for additional resources.[42] Below are limit and quotas defined per application:
|Time per request
|60 sec per normal request, 10 minutes for tasks, unlimited for backends
|HTTP response size
|Datastore item size
Application creators who enable billing pay only for instance hours, bandwidth, storage, and API usage in excess of the free quotas. Free quotas were reduced on May 25, 2009,[43] reduced again on June 22, 2009.[43] but then revised in May 2011 to allow for more infrastructure and pricing changes.[44][45]

- Lisinopril 20 MG Oral Tablet
- Lisinopril 5 MG Oral Tablet
- Lisinopril 10 MG Oral Tablet
- Lisinopril 20 MG Oral Tablet
Prinivil for patients
Angioedema: Angioedema, including laryngeal edema, may occur at any time during treatment with
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, including lisinopril. Patients should be so advised
and told to report immediately any signs or symptoms suggesting angioedema (swelling of face,
extremities, eyes, lips, tongue, difficulty in swallowing or breathing) and to take no more
drug until they have consulted with the prescribing physician.
Symptomatic Hypotension: Patients should be cautioned to report lightheadedness especially during
the first few days of therapy. If actual syncope occurs, the patients should be told to discontinue
the drug until they have consulted with the prescribing physician. All patients should be cautioned
that excessive perspiration and dehydration may lead to an excessive fall in blood pressure because
of reduction in fluid volume. Other causes of volume depletion such as vomiting or diarrhea may
also lead to a fall in blood pressure; patients should be advised to consult with their physician.
Hyperkalemia: Patients should be told not to use salt substitutes containing potassium without
consulting their physician.
Leukopenia/Neutropenia: Patients should be told to report promptly any indication of infection
(e.g., sore throat, fever) which may be a sign of leukopenia/neutropenia.
Pregnancy: Female patients of childbearing age should be told about the consequences of second-
and third-trimester exposure to ACE inhibitors, and they should also be told that these consequences
do not appear to have resulted from intrauterine ACE-inhibitor exposure that has been limited to the
first trimester. These patients should be asked to report pregnancies to their physicians as soon as
NOTE: As with many other drugs, certain advice to patients being treated with PRINIVIL is warranted.
This information is intended to aid in the safe and effective use of this medication. It is not a
disclosure of all possible adverse or intended effects.
Prinivil Interactions
Hypotension - Patients on Diuretic Therapy: Patients on diuretics, and especially those in whom diuretic therapy was recently instituted, may occasionally experience an excessive reduction of blood pressure after initiation of therapy with PRINIVIL. The possibility of hypotensive effects with PRINIVIL can be minimized by either discontinuing the diuretic or increasing the salt intake prior to initiation of treatment with PRINIVIL. If it is necessary to continue the diuretic, initiate therapy with PRINIVIL at a dose of 5 mg daily, and provide close medical supervision after the initial dose until blood pressure has stabilized. When a diuretic is added to the therapy of a patient receiving PRINIVIL, an additional antihypertensive effect is usually observed. Studies with ACE inhibitors in combination with diuretics indicate that the dose of the ACE inhibitor can be reduced when it is given with a diuretic.
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents: In some patients with compromised renal function who are being treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the co-administration of lisinopril may result in a further deterioration of renal function. These effects are usually reversible.
Reports suggest that NSAIDs may diminish the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors, including lisinopril. This interaction should be given consideration in patients taking NSAIDs concomitantly with ACE inhibitors.
In a study in 36 patients with mild to moderate hypertension where the antihypertensive effects of PRINIVIL alone were compared to PRINIVIL given concomitantly with indomethacin, the use of indomethacin was associated with a reduced antihypertensive effect, although the difference between the two regimens was not significant.
Other Agents: PRINIVIL has been used concomitantly with nitrates and/or digoxin without evidence of clinically significant adverse interactions. This included post myocardial infarction patients who were receiving intravenous or transdermal nitroglycerin. No clinically important pharmacokinetic interactions occurred when PRINIVIL was used concomitantly with propranolol or hydrochlorothiazide. The presence of food in the stomach does not alter the bioavailability of PRINIVIL.
Agents Increasing Serum Potassium: PRINIVIL attenuates potassium loss caused by thiazide-type diuretics. Use of PRINIVIL with potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, triamterene, or amiloride), potassium supplements, or potassium-containing salt substitutes may lead to significant increases in serum potassium. Therefore, if concomitant use of these agents is indicated because of demonstrated hypokalemia, they should be used with caution and with frequent monitoring of serum potassium. Potassium sparing agents should generally not be used in patients with heart failure who are receiving PRINIVIL.
Lithium: Lithium toxicity has been reported in patients receiving lithium concomitantly with drugs which cause elimination of sodium, including ACE inhibitors. Lithium toxicity was usually reversible upon discontinuation of lithium and the ACE inhibitor. It is recommended that serum lithium levels be monitored frequently if PRINIVIL is administered concomitantly with lithium.
Prinivil Contraindications
PRINIVIL is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to this product and in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and in patients with hereditary or idiopathic angioedema.

If and when you find yourself in a new relationship and choosing to take things just that little bit further, you might suddenly feel unexpectedly overcome with awkwardness. Having shared an intimate relationship with your previous partner, the prospect of opening up your life to someone else might fill you with dread and second thoughts. This, of course, is quite natural and could be a sentiment also felt by the person you are with.
If you do find yourself questioning your reasons for having started this relationship, then you must ask yourself why. If this is your first experience of a relationship after bereavement and the first time you have had to consider things leading on to something more intimate, then it is important to acknowledge that you are in this place because something has told you that this is where you want to be.
Experiencing a second love does not mean that it has to be second rate or in second place to your first. In fact, because we tend to idealize situations, it is quite possible that the memories of your first life partner could be somewhat over-romanticised. Losing a spouse does not mean that you won't or can't grow to love someone else and able to enjoy a loving, sexual relationship together; nor does it mean that you have to forget your previous life partner!
It is presumed that you are, by now, comfortable with this special friend and have allowed yourself to reach this situation with equanimity: so why the awkwardness? It might be that you're making subliminal comparisons to your deceased partner or that you feel guilty accepting that you are ready to move on. Perhaps you're worrying about what your family might think. Whatever the reason, it is important that you share this with your new partner. If he or she is sympathetic and understanding, then they are likely to be someone worthy of your affections.
So how do you deal with this? Unless you're tee-total, a couple of drinks will help you to relax; and if the moment comes at the end of a day spent in each other's company, and you have both been enjoying the experience of just being together, you may find that what comes next, comes naturally.
For some, the thought of baring all can be a daunting prospect. Again, it is likely that your partner could be feeling the same way. If you've planned this adventure; a weekend away perhaps, then you may have indulged in some enticing new underwear. A satin petticoat can be very alluring on any woman; an old pair of jaded underpants on a man, a probable turn-off!
Creating the right atmosphere is also important. It doesn't have to be too contrived but perhaps a scented candle or two, low lights and some soft music could all help to set the mood.
Acting upon any advice that you might give to a friend, follow your own code of conduct. Safe sex is essential, and ensuring that you really want to go ahead, and that you are not under any pressure, is very important. Moving on at your own pace will make the experience much more enjoyable for both of you. Getting that first time over will also move the relationship on a notch, if that is what you want.
There are no hard and fast rules about this; you just have to be guided by your emotions and instincts. Make this time together special. Try and put all anxious or embarrassing thoughts out of your mind and determine to enjoy yourself.
What matters is that you both trust and respect each other, while continuing to build upon the chemistry that has brought you together.

These wolves are from the subspecies that would be native to Wisconsin.PHOTO: B. Lorber
They were all named "friend" in different Native American dialects.PHOTO: B. Lorber
They like to roll in other scents, often pungent odors, to mask their own scent from predators.PHOTO: B. Lorber
Wolves are highly social animals.PHOTO: B. Lorber
Often they are given whole animals to eat, just like if they were in the wild.PHOTO: B. Lorber
Eating the entire animal including bones, fur, hide and ligaments is good for the wolf. Helps aid in digestion and teeth health.PHOTO: B. Lorber
The wolves have a rotating schedule of enrichment to work on different areas of development. These boxes were filled with treats to encourage them to tear into them.PHOTO: B. Lorber
Other enrichment includes social (training/grooming), sensory (use of scents), and food (mice, dog bones, pig ears, antlers etc).PHOTO: B. Lorber

Paris Saint-Germain are having to live with the new reality that is Financial Fair Play.
After accepting a reduced punishment from UEFA this summer for breaching FFP protocols, the French club has had to call off their pursuit of Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria due to the Argentine's excessive transfer fee.
"I have been in negotiations for Di María with my friend Florentino Pérez, but for me the player is too expensive and we have stopped negotiations," PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said at David Luiz's introductory press conference on Thursday.
The admission is the first time that PSG have publicly stated their interest in the Argentine international, who starred for Argentina at the World Cup but missed the final and semifinals due to a thigh injury.
Recent reports in Spain have claimed that PSG would need to pay a fee of 60 million euros ($80.2 million) to sign Di Maria, and after spending 50 million euros on Luiz, PSG need to bring in some revenue in order to afford Di Maria.
Here are some more stories to kick off your Thursday:
Arsenal could have a new club captain this season.
Current captain, defender Thomas Vermaelen, is not content with a place on the bench for another season and is the subject of transfer speculation from across Europe. On Thursday at a press conference, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted that the club has received bids for the Belgian international.
"Manchester United are part of the group (of bidders). He could leave," Wenger told reporters. "We have offers from abroad and ideally I would rather sell him to a club abroad. We're in a position where it's difficult to stand in his way."
According to the Daily Telegraph, Man United are the favorites to sign Vermaelen but Barcelona have entered with a £10 million bid. Arsenal signed Southampton's Calum Chambers this summer, giving them another centerback option behind starters Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny.
Nacional substitute Julio Santa Cruz played the hero for his club in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final.
Santa Cruz scored from close range in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to tie the match at 1-1, sending the Nacional fans at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco into rapture. The goal canceled out San Lorenzo's opener in the 65th minute, when Mauro Matos fired home on the volley inside the box.
The second leg of the final now moves to Buenos Aires, Argentina, as both teams aim for South American glory.

What do you think of these reports? Surprised to see PSG pull out of the Di Maria sweepstakes? Do you see Vermaelen moving to Man United?

Playing Singapore for the money in Japan is not going to help Brazil. If they want to move on from their poor performance at home, they need to schedule quality opponents.
a 4th place finish at the world cup is hardly a poor performance – they were beaten by the 2 best teams in the tournament.
they played less than spectacularly in the tournament but were doing OK
until they embarassed themselves
a 7-1 semi-final loss
and a 3-0 final match to finish 4th in BRAZIL at a time of great social upheaval is a huge blow for them
This – if you want to look for what is wrong with Brazil this is it. The national team is now a money spinner first. Making your players fly half way around the world to play competition that is worse than what you could get at home or in Europe.
there is no way that Ghanian player makes 4.8 million euros a year at Marseille? Is that really possible that he's 1 of the highest paid players in Ligue 1 despite not being at PSG/Monaco/Lyon?
when was the last time Vermaleen was actually a good defender? 2011? 2012? why such a rush of big clubs to sign him?
MADRID honestly wanna keep Benzema. He's a very good striker but top 10 world striker he is not then again they don't wanna show up Ronaldo by signing a Suarez or Ibra, so i guess makes sense
now we know why Besler was so sought after. – Lack of quality backs.
you mean 3.6 million euros a year …that actually is not too high for France outside the 3 big spenders. The issue would be if it wear over 10 million. I think it is just what Liverpool value him at compared for what else they could get at outside back. Keep in mind, he is very young and raw, but he has potential. If he was more polished, then maybe.

Wow, Celtic (and by extension, Scottish football) stink.
they were talking about this on taslkSport this morning. apparently the squad they put out there were a bunch of no names. still ridiculous but they were saying they can basically guarantee they'll win the SPL again this year anyway so who cares? it was an interesting debate but still pathetic.
They never should have relegated Rangers. Oh Rangers deserved it but that doesn't mean it was smart.
Scotland has a chance in the new expanded 24 team Euros but that's the only reason why.
we knew this for years. It's been confirmed for 5 years but for now SCOTLAND is horrid for sure. Best to go to a 2nd division if the only choice is Celtic. 6 Champion League games (not even guaranteed you get to play-off round) is real sad.
scotland will never be in another world cup or euro
i was so happy to see Madrid sign Benz to that long-term contract and then to wake up today and see that PSG officially rule themselves out of the Di Maria transfer makes me even happier. granted, i'm sure the money will be sorely missed given they were banking on that money to help offset James' transfer. this also tells me no one was really that interested in Cavani because they were trying to sell him to allow for Di Maria.
i guess Man United and Juve could circle back around and bid below €60m since PSG is out of the race and wouldn't drive the price up.
i confused
Madrid need to sell someone.
they have Kroos, Modric, Alonso, the big German guy whose name i forget
for central midfield and their attack is
Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria, Rodriguez, Bale
whose gonna ride that bench? This is truly the Galacticos. Imagine if OZIL was still there.
it's insane for sure. Khedira is who you are thinking of. not to mention Illara, Isco, and Casemiro. i'd add Jese to the list of attackers. he'll be back from his ACL and the kid needs to play because he's going to be sick.
and to think we are still rumored to sign Falcao. there is no need!

Disclaim Her: I own nothing, seriously. well, I do own the Dementor Spawn, but I'm sure I'd loose any suit I filed for infringement because they are, in fact, a derivative work of JK Rowling.
Chapter Nine Sweeties.
Deep in the forest of Fangorn, in the centre of a Circle of the Ent Elders, bloomed a glowing silver flower. It was the single largest flower to bloom in the forest since the Ent's themselves were birthed from the earth.
In the centre of the blossom, curled in a fetal position, lay a sleeping Harry, newly named Erutáwë. With his rebirth into Arda, life was renewed, reinvigorated. A youthfulness seeped into the bark of the Ent's, spreading to their forest domain.
A burst of magic roared through the forest, spreading across all of Middle earth. Hobbits in their hovels looked too and fro as a warm breeze, scented with honeysuckle and clove washed over them. The Elves, in their forest dwellings, shivered as pleasure tickled their spines. Humans grew heartened by the magic, while the servants of Sauron gasped in fear as the magic caused them pain.
Harry now stood in the centre of the flower, silvery tears still running down his face as he mentally searched through his whole being for the comforting weight of his powerful magic. Upon finding it gone, washed clean as if he had never been a wizard, Harry sank to his knees and sobbed again.
He was lifted from the ground and cradled in bark covered arms, swaying gently from side to side. An Entish lullaby sent him spiraling into oblivion.
Draco couldn't comprehend what he had been told, and what he had experienced. He was devastated that his last link to the wizarding world had been carelessly slain due to the action of a mere muggle. But the feeling he had gotten from his brief glimpse into the soul of creation, had felt like a hug from Harry.
Resolving to figure out his feelings later, he dressed quickly, but carefully, and began his search for this Boromir character.
He found the sobbing man curled up under a tree. Aiming a kick at the man's side he gave a satisfied smirk at the pained grunt he received in response.
"Get up you son of a bitch!" he hissed. Boromir rolled over, spotted him, and scrambled to his feet. "Mind explaining to me just what the hell you were doing interrupting Harry during a fight?"
"I-I." Boromir started, but hung his head. "I have no excuse. I misjudged Prince Harry, and it cost him his life."
"You're damn right you misjudged Harry! Harry is the least evil person I've ever met! If you're looking for an evil wizard, then look no further! I served the evil creature that murdered Harry's birth parents, for two years! I did everything I could to antagonize him and his friends! And he forgave me. I caused his mentor to die and he forgave me. He saved my life from that prick Saruman. He is the most selfless man I know. And you killed him." Draco spat.
Boromir fell to his knees, heart wrenching sobs filling the air. Draco kicked him again just to be spiteful and stomped off, brushing past a wide-eyed Legolas. Realizing just who he'd shouldered past, Draco whirled around and fixed th elven Prince with a glare.
"And you! You're the worst fucking bastard of all of them! You don't deserve Harry's affection!" he whipped his hand in a snapping motion and stunned the elf, before stomping away. Legolas' eyes widened at the thought that his growing feelings for the Elf Prince might have been reciprocated.
Draco stormed through the covered and uncovered walkways, mouth set in a firm line. Everyone gave him a wide berth, which was wise considering the dark look on his face.
Harry came to awareness floating over a half-naked Draco. He reached down a ghostly hand and poked Draco through the eye.
"Ow! Fuck that was cold!" Draco shouted as he came awake instantly. "Watch where you put that thing, Potter! Potter?" Draco took a second look. "Gah!"
Harry had to laugh as the always graceful Draco Malfoy fell from his bed in a heap of bedclothes.
"Potter! What the hell? You're a fucking ghost now? Oh fuck, you're going to be haunting me now aren't you? This is my punishment for being such a hot and evil sexy man!" Draco cried dramatically.
"Shut up, Draco! You are such a conceited berk! As if I would haunt you when I can be spying on people bathing. And no, I'm not dead. It's a very long story, one that I'll explain when I see you in person. Just know that you need to take my place among the fellowship. I need you to keep Boromir from taking the Horcrux from Frodo. I have a feeling that he'll try and take it and end up dead."
"It's nothing less than he deserves. That idiot caused you to fall into some deep chasm with some fire monster!" Draco snapped.
"I'm not mad at him anymore, if I ever was. In fact, I've forgiven him, which is why you need to save him!" Harry insisted.
"I don't think I will." Draco said childishly.
"Draco! I need you with him so I can handle some business!" Harry shouted.
"What business could you possible have, dead boy?" Draco asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"It's a secret, you dolt." Harry said. "And, if you go I'll get you something that no one else has in any world you've ever been too."
"What is it?" Draco asked, curious.
"I wont tell you! But if you want to find out, then you've got to join the fellowship. I'll be able to help out from time to time, but we probably wont meet in person until much later." Harry said, looking behind him at something only he could see.
"Alright fine. I suppose someone needs to be there to keep those children in line." Draco huffed.
"Thanks Draco." Harry said earnestly.
"It's no problem, I'm just so glad you're alive, Haz." Draco whispered.
"I'll explain everything when we meet next. Keep a very close eye on Boromir."
"I will. Oh! You'd better go and see your parents elf-boy!" Draco said, suddenly remembering.
"That was my next stop. Bye Draco!" Harry faded from view, only to reappear at the foot of his adoptive parents huge bed.
"H-Harry?" a red-eyed Galadriel asked, not believing her beautiful eyes. "Oh my son, what has happened?" her partly sobbed words woke Celeborn, who looked at Harry with shocked eyes.
"I'm not dead!" Harry quickly rushed to reassure them. "I'm actually asleep at the moment, though I don't know where the Ents have carried me."
"The Ents? How on earth-?" Celeborn started to ask.
"I don't know. After I fell, and I'll get to that in a moment, I woke up surrounded by Ents. I had a little breakdown, and passed out."
"What transpired after you fell?" Galadriel asked, scooting to the end of the bed to get a better look at Harry.
"I met Manwe and the rest of the Valar. They each blessed me with some of their power. I, am no longer a wizard. Manwe, avatar of Eru Illuvatar, has named me Erutáwë. I am Noldor, Maia, and Vala. I wield the powers of the Valar."
"Oh Harry!" Galadriel said, tears springing to her eyes anew. "I am sorry for your loss."
"I am saddened by it, but if sacrificing my magic allows me to save my home, then I do it gladly." Harry said, smiling gently as he realised that he meant it.
"What will you do now?" Celeborn asked.
"Draco will take my place amongst the fellowship, and I will rejoin him when I am able." Harry said. "I love you two so much, you taking me in means more to me than you will ever know." Harry said as he faded from sight.
"And we love you Harry." Galadriel whispered. Her ring began to glow, and warmth and peace suffused her being. Celeborn's ring glowed as well and the two were cocooned in the love from their child.

Please people, do not post potentially inflammatory imagery to this thread.
Yes, some of the "stuff" floating around currently is very funny. I find some of it humorous as well, but please leave it at the door when entering this thread. "Retort" images tend to spiral out of control in fast moving flame wars and we really don't need that. Humans, especially young men are extremely visual by nature and can become quite excitable with visually stimulated. Please don't fuel the simmering feelings of angst.

I heard the Italian said something about his mother (who's very ill, maybe dying.) Zidane also lost some kind of father figure a few months ago.
And I don't see why it'd disgrace his carreer. Wasn't he always the generally-mild-but-with-an-explosive-temper type?
(Still, I wish he'd waited until after the game. Then he could have kicked the other guy in the nuts or whatever.)

The real question is, why did Zidane stop at just a headbutt? He must have known he would be sent off and he's supposedly retiring soon so why not give him a royal asskicking? I'm not condoning what Zidane did, I think it was the stupidest thing any footballer could possibly have done (wouldn't be surprised if he did it on purpose, but that's another issue altogether), but as the saying goes "Might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb." If you've gotta do it, go the whole hog!

Such a sweet victory and I am having such a great day reading comments on different forums from all kinds of Zidane fanboys trying to justify his actions. Yes, I know it's a guilty pleasure, I can't help it.
If it was the other way round - Materazzi hitting Zidane, few people would bother to find justifications. But now - "Oh, God, Materazzi must have said something racist, let's just forget that Zidane has a history of going insane for a moment and being sent off.". Talk about jumping to conclusions...
Oh well, Materazzi has the World Cup, so I guess he can bear the media idiocy. If it is proved he said something really bad - by all means, punish him in some way.Just make sure to punish every other trash talker out there too - let's say about half of the world footballers.

A headbut to someone that pissing you off, its normal. well not normal in a soccer match and its certainly not something everyone would but
taking thing to a physical level if they really! pissed you off in a certain way and you are the type to get annoyed is understandable. He knew it wasn't going to injure Materazzi doing it (i think ) and he wasn't trying to 'cheat' in the game, so i cant hate him for it. I guess also because I watch other sports were fights break out off the play.. that it seems human to do such a thing.
Not that interested in what people say Materazzi said.. only when it comes from a few of the players will I listen. Still whatever Materazzi and anyone says still I love Zizou just as much for that headbut or mabye even more =)

While it's obvious there are unpleasant people here in Italy, like evreywhere in the world (France included), we Italians have the courage to criticize our best champions if they do something wrong, like we did with Totti some time ago.
Anyway I have to thank sincerely average Frenchs and Germans: their offenses helped the re-born of a national feeling among us Italians and a dramatic reduction in Germans and Frenchs reputation over here. The truth is that the problems are evreywhere: in Italy like in French... where there are lots of "cultured people" and in the suburbs lots of black people poor and starving.
Bye bye from Italy

Well, I have some time so here are some comments on the WC.
This is probably one of the poorest WC that I've seen. No offense to French or Italians, but both teams don't have (at this time) what it takes to call themselves champions of the world. Just check how they went forward in the competition. Sad, sad....
The other big bucks that were a let down were Brazil, Germany and England. Brazil playing with France was a joke, Roberto Carlos was adjusting his freaking socks while Henry passed by him and scored. No one didn't do anything, the so called best player in the world didn't score once in the competition, and Ronaldo after hitting the all time biggest scorer position in WCs just relaxed.
England? With my countryman Sven as coach, they were bound to lose I think. But not like that..
Germany?? What happened to Germany? Oh, yeah, they are good hosts and let other people win...but I was expecting more from Germany...
And for those in here discussing Zidane, Italy and related prejudices, sometime ago some people here were raving how nice was to have European-only countries in a final. Is that what we have to show to the rest of the world?

But, what made me laugh, if it is correct of course, Materazzi's comments regarding the incident, saying that [after the claims that he called Zidane a terrorist (or according to a British mouth reader, using this word for his mother)] he doesn't even know the meaning of the word Islamic terrorist/terrorism. Now, that is a comment deserving a great laugh, maybe in a "laughing to the pitiful state" kind of way.
PS: Zidane shouldn't have been awarded the Golden Ball mainly because of the incident, but it seems that many people have chosen to ignore it.

In fact, the general knowlegde that he is so volatile makes their reactions even more incredulous. Hence my: "Come on, thats Zizou! What do you expect??" line.

The thing is, Materazzi IS a racist scumbag. He's always been. While that doesn't justify what Zidane did and his red was deserved, people are looking for the reason for that kind of reaction.
Moreover, assuming Materazzi said nothing is still as much of an assumption as assuming he said something. And considering his track record as a cheat I know which one is safer.
To be honest, I'm sorry to say this to the italian fans, but although the red was fully deserved the team's reaction was disgraceful (and unfortunately hardly unusual). One player on the ground whining as if he'd been sniped with the rest of the team complaining to the ref.
I'm sometimes even disgusted at my own team's behaviour with the diving and whining, too. I think it ruins football.
Anyway, I'm not too bothered by Italy winning the cup so long as this doesn't affect the corruption case. But daddy Silvio always has an ace up his sleeve to save Milan so god knows...

The problem with trashtalking in soccer is that the refs and FIFA try to make it be a completely whitewashed sport. Oh no, a guy fell down because of contact! FOUL!!!! OMG, a guy fell down because Zidane gave him a headbutt! RED CARD!!! WAAAAAAAH!!! CLEAN UP YOUR ACTS, WE ARE ALL LOVE AND HUGS PEOPLE!
I mean for the most part, soccer has EXTREME amounts of sportsmanship, with opposing players picking each other up after unintentional fouls, smiles, hugs and handshakes, and just about all of the best gestures you can see in sports that make American sports look like the lowest of trash in comparison.
The problem with soccer is that there will always be those few scumbags that ruin it for everyone else. Christiano Ronaldo, the whiny diving bitch, and Matterazzi, that racist insulting asshole that can drive any player so insane that they lose their tempers. The worst thing was, though, that Zidane has a HUGE history of being on a short fuse with a very fiery temper. In 1998, he STOMPED on the back of a saudi player. In 2000, he headbutted a german player in some world championship or something, and now he decks Matterazzi.
Though in such an otherwise clean game, those who would resort to insults and other dirty tricks to get the best of their opponents should be banned from the game since they ruin so much of its spirit. And heck, even after that headbutt, I don't think of Zidane as any less of a guy. He's a genius with the ball, and a generally genuine-seeming guy without it, being extremely upstanding in all situations in this world cup except this one.
Though IMHO the rules of soccer need to have a little slackening to prevent divers drawing fouls. If the ball is played, even if the guy gets decked, there needs to be no foul. The only time there should be a foul is if the man simply gets decked, but the ball is missed. So tactical fouls would still be called, but as for diving, no thx.
Too bad there can't be divecams 1000 or something...so that if a player dove intentionally, he'd get a yellow for unsportsmanlike conduct.

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have come on the market, which means spaces most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. About NaN% of the available space in the Johnson are subleases, so you will probably need to sign a longer term lease with the landlord directly. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this market are around 2 stories. Most buildings in this region were built in 1897 and are Class C.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Education is the dominant industry in this area.

Not to spoil the fun, but guess what the Warriors earned for their takedown of the Nuggets?
Yep, a trip to San Antonio.
As impressively as Stephen Curry, Andrew Bogut and their mates dispatched Denver 92-88 on Thursday night, they now face a more formidable chore in the Western Conference semifinals starting Monday.
The Spurs are rested and healthy after sweeping the shorthanded Lakers - and they still have Tim Duncan in the low post.
The Warriors, as you might recall, haven't won a game in San Antonio since Duncan joined the NBA. For the record: Golden State's losing streak in the Alamo City covers 29 games and dates to Feb. 14, 1997, when Latrell Sprewell scored 32 points to lead the Warriors to victory.
For trivia buffs: Rick Adelman coached those Warriors and Chris Mullin, B.J. Armstrong, Joe Smith and Felton Spencer joined Sprewell in the starting lineup. Dominique Wilkins led the Spurs with 22 points.
This history of road futility is relevant because the Warriors will need to win a game in San Antonio to advance. Remember, they feverishly pushed hard at the end of the regular season to avoid the No. 7 seed and a first-round matchup with the Spurs (smart move).
These Warriors, of course, are far more capable than most of the teams that built that losing streak. They split this year's season series with the Spurs, winning twice in Oakland and losing twice in San Antonio.
Curry averaged 26 points in three games, missing one with a sprained ankle. Duncan led the Spurs, averaging 22.7 points, and point guard Tony Parker added 21.5.
The first priority for the Warriors, whether it falls to Curry or Jarrett Jack, will be limiting Parker's whippet-quick drives to the basket. No easy task.
The Warriors and Spurs have met once in the playoffs: Golden State won a first-round series 3-1 in 1991.

PARIS (AFP) - - The United States and the eurozone are set to break out of recession in the third quarter, the OECD said on Thursday, adding its voice to forecasts that a fragile global rebound is taking shape.
With the pace of US economic decline slowing and with the eurozone economy actually expanding in August, OECD chief economist Jorgen Elmeskov pointed to a recent "run of good news."
"A recovery looks to be at hand for the OECD at large," he told a news conference here following publication of an economic assessment by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, which groups 30 leading industrialised economies.
But he cautioned against getting "carried away," warning that the recovery could be "bumpy."
"There are some headwinds. And that's why we see a slow recovery but still a recovery."
Unemployment, he said, poses a particular risk, with unemployment totals in danger of edging higher even as the overall economy revives, "sapping" critical consumer spending.
He added that banks, businesses and households also had "a long way to go" to repair their balance sheets.
While the need for additional government stimulus measures has eased, Elmeskov stressed that official exit strategies from those in place "need to be implemented only at a time when the economy is sufficiently solid to actually withstand it."
The OECD in its report forecast annualised quarter-on-quarter growth in the July-September period of 1.6 percent in the United States, after a contraction of 1.0 percent in the second, and 0.3 percent in the euro area, after a second-quarter slide of 0.5 percent.
The United States contracted at a slower pace in the second quarter, 1.0 percent, than in the first, when te shrinkage came to 6.4 percent.
The 16-nation eurozone meanwhile grew in August for the first time in 15 months, according to a key purchasing managers' survey released Thursday.
Recession is widely considered to occur with two quarters running of negative growth, with a return to positive momentum signalling a potential turnaround.
But many economists fear what is known as a "double dip recession," with an economy showing signs of expansion only to shrink again.
The OECD report gave a margin of error of 1.9 percent for the US forecast and of 1.3 percent for the eurozone, underlining wide uncertainty and implying that recession could endure in both the economic giants.
The report also forecast continued recession in Britain, with negative economic growth of 1.0 percent and a margin of error of 1.2 percent.
The forecasts for Japan and Canada were 1.1-percent growth and 2.0 percent contraction respectively, with margins of error of 2.9 percent and 1.6 percent.
Elmeskov cited four areas of overall improvement in OECD economies to support the organisation's upbeat assessment.
Financial market conditions, he said, have become generally healthier since March, as credit policies have eased and share prices have strengthened.
This trend, he added, "owes a lot to measures taken by central banks and governments to stabilise the financial situation."
Secondly, as a drawdown in business inventories is unlikely to continue, production will have to increase.
Trade volumes, which have taken beating in the financial crisis, "may have stabilised or even started to grow again," with countries reporting growth in export orders.
Fourthly, the housing market "may cease to be a drag on activity," particularly in the United States where the "overhang"of unsold houses has come down and where prices have stabilised.
He also cited apparent recoveries in consumer and business confidence.

World Cup cut reverse unlikely
The 2019 showpiece will be contested by just 10 teams – four less than this year – prompting complaints from the sport's developing teams who claim they are being 'shut out' of cricket's biggest spectacle.
ICC chief executive Dave Richardson admitted he was impressed by the performances of the associate nations during the tournament and??said the issue over the number of teams for the next World Cup was not set in stone.
But, although the decision by the sport's world governing body to have just 10 teams in the 2019 World Cup will be reviewed later this year, Richardson said he did not expect any changes.
"The decision has been made; as we stand, it's a 10-team tournament at the next World Cup," he said on Thursday.
"We've also got the Cricket World Cup qualifier, which has been upgraded and been granted a higher status. Any decision to change the number of teams that qualify will have a knock-on effect for that qualifying tournament.
"There are lots of commercial implications to consider. We also need to have a look at the attendances at all the Associate games, what were the viewing figures, and see where they really stand."
Although none of the associate-level nations reached the knockout phase, they did record some wins against the traditional full member nations. Their supporters believe cutting the numbers at future World Cups will stall the global growth of the game but Richardson disagrees.
"To me the debate should be more about what are we doing for associate member cricket to enable them to qualify for a World Cup, whether it's an eight-team, 10-team, 12-team, 14 or 16-team. I think that's where we've made the most progress," he said.
"We want the World Cup to not just be window-dressing but a shop window for cricket at the highest level."
Richardson said the ICC still had ambitions of spreading the game to new frontiers, such as the United States, but their priority for now was consolidating their existing teams.
"Now we realise, let's not spread ourselves out too thin. We've got full member countries, Zimbabwe being one, West Indies maybe, where we've got to be careful that they don't fall off the ship," he said.
"USA, as an example, is a country that has enormous potential. It has more players playing cricket in the USA than Zimbabwe and I think very close to the number playing in New Zealand.
"If UAE can qualify for the World Cup then there's no reason why USA shouldn't. So that's going to be a focus for us in the next few years."


text: I can't install Huawei E173 under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1. I get the following message: "Upravljački program nije pronađen" in the screenshot means "Driver not found". I have also tried connecting the modem while connected to the Internet, to no avail. I had previously installed and used 3 other USB mobile broadband modems on the same system, 2 of which were Huawei. All software for these modems is supposed to be uninstalled. However, when I install it under a VMware virtual machine with a fresh install of the same operating system, everything works fine. I have also tried copying all relevant drivers successfully installed under the virtual machine to the physical machine, but that doesn't completely work, either. How can I solve this problem? I will pay $10 via PayPal to anyone who provides the solution.
