How to help my senior, pain management etc.
Hi everyone,
Sorry this is a bit long
I have a question regarding a senior Pekingese, not a shepherd although in his mind he is one lol. My boy has always been a guy with lots of health issues starting very early in his life:(. He has stomach ulcers, heart murmur and degenerative joint disease. Years ago he was paralyzed due to a few cushioning discs that burst into the spinal cord space. With acupuncture and crate rest we got him walking again. Over the years he has been suffering on and off with back & hip issues and would often receive Rimadyl to help with the pain.
These last months he has been more stiff than usual. I blame it on the cold winter weather and I havent been watching him carefully enough to prevent him from jumping up and down the stairs. He also is not a real fan of my German Shepherd puppy and gets himself so wound up trying to get her away from him. So I monitor that she leaves him alone by distracting her with toys to play with. In the evening both sleep with me in the bed and she knows to keep her distance from him although I sometimes do see her cuddling up to him and he just lets her.
I took him to the vet again as he was pulling his back into an arch again, looked very miserable and showing signs of pain (shacking a bit :(). The vet gave me some Tramahexal & Diazepam and said I shouldnt let him run up and down the stairs and try keep him calm (easier said than done as he loves running and acting like a crazy puppy lol). Luckily I work from home so can keep a good eye on him and I do see a slight improvement although with the meds he is clearly walking a little drunk.
So my question is what have you guys used and had success with to help your seniors overcome the aches and pains of age?
He is currently on the hills mobility but I am planning to switch him over to the Orijen senior but due to the high protein I was advised to first have his kidneys and liver checked.
If the vet gives me the ok for him to start him on the Orijen senior would I need to supplement this with anything?
This boy means the world to me and he is only 10 years old there must be more that I can do for him. Feeling a little helpless and worried:(
Thanks for reading:)
When rimadyl stopped working on my senior she gave him metacam. It seemed to make a world of difference.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I used accupucture for my old cat that really worked with lessening the pain of mobility. Laser treatment also worked for my GSD mix towards the end.
I know how you feel. No matter how llng you have them or how old they are, its just never enough time. Have you tried glucosamine? Adequan shots have really helped my senior recover some mobilty with out taking pain meds.
You have my sympathy; it is so difficult and ten isn't really old for a small dog. My Heidi is on Rimadyl, but you say you have already used that, so I don't have any other suggestions. Diazepam is the generic name for Valium, so it should keep him calmed down a bit, but may contributes to the drunken walk.
I use Duralactin, a joint supplement and natural anti-inflammatory, to keep my old dogs and any that have had joint surgeries comfortable. I use this long-term to prevent the inflammation and to prevent pain or minimize the pain. It is available in forms for horses and dogs.
For years, I have used Tramadol when my dogs have had surgeries. It just became a controlled substance here and I will be asking my vet for other options.
I have a ShepX who has a degenerative back disease. We've managed 5 years, he is 10 now, although the last year has been more difficult. It's a balancing act, it's diet, supplements, eastern medicine, western medicine, but all in balance and moderation. When a natural path fails, then it's medication time.
I opt to go a more natural path - he gets a pain killer if he's limping, do not kid yourself, I do not inflict my personal opinions on the welfare of my dog to the detriment of that dog.
However, where we live, swimming is limited in a controlled setting, we put an above ground in, he gets his joint supplements, limited exercise, a diet, I have researched and am comfortable giving him along with supplements in the same manner. When he needs it, he gets a pain pill. It's a precarious balance. I live in the land of lakes, but, those lakes often due to high water tables contain too much bacteria - so a pool, controls the water, we're on year 5 of me swimming him in a therapeutic environment, I can, now do it alone.
Fo a long time, therapeutic swimming, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment along with a 60% RAW diet were maintaining things, now, we're a bit further from those luxuries, so what someone else did, I have to learn to do or work around, visits to a chiro or acupuncturist, due to distance are less. However, a larger property means more injury or irritation. It's a balancing act, invest yourself in every aspect of care and prevention and behaviour modification. Use medication when necessary, but it's really about improving a quality of life and getting it to a manageable plateau.
In my experience, we gave my senior nearly two years of great mobility and diminished pain using Adequan therapy, plus GOOD supplements (Natural Eggshell Membrane, Collage Type II, Ester-C, Fish Oil, Vitamin E (mixed tocopherol)). This combination was so effective that he got off Rimadyl almost entirely and was MORE mobile (and in less pain) than when he was on Rimadyl -- but it took about a month to be able to fade the Rimadyl away.
My experience is here: http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ur-senior.html
There's a thread about Natural Eggshell Membrane here:
I want to emphasize that Adequan is a "game changer" for many dogs with arthritis. The loading dose is expensive, but it's powerfully good stuff--it heals the arthritis instead of masking pain.
Since acupuncture worked for your dog in the past, I would definitely go back to doing that for the pain too -- it can be awesome for arthritis!
Due to my schedule the last 4-5 months, I was unable to get my dog out too much, we brought an equine masseuse in weekly, massage and stretching. It seems to have helped.

Readers weigh in again on Excel sins and solutions. Tips include totaling at the top, while traps like poor version control can even threaten to force restatements.

Some other resources to reduce the incidence of sloppy spreadsheets in 2009: Jason Karaian's article "Spreadsheets: Formula for Success" reports on the 2008 conference of the European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group (Eusprig). The next is 2-3 July 2009 in Paris. Their site www.eusprig.org has free PDF downloads on good practice guidelines including Phil Bewig's succint 'How do you know your spreadsheet is right'? For those sseking more assurance, there is a Spreadsheet Safe certification, see www.spreadsheetsafe.com To declare my own interest, I am the author of 'Spreadsheet Check and Control' which describes 47 Excel techniques to assure spreadsheet quality. Thanks to all who contributed to the CFO threads. If you would like to take it further, Eusprig has a discussion forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eusprig/

I utilize excel's conditional formatting tool to make data (or results) stand out. I recommend this tool as an effective way to quickly bring attention to values over or under a certain threshold - such as growth rates or returns.

"Rows Don't Foot" ??? 1) I am unfamiliar with the term "rows don't foot". Could you please elaborate? Posted by Cynthia Berndt | Sep 2, 2008 2:27 PM ET Footing just means adding. One seldom sees this language anymore, though it was still fairly common in the 70's when I articled. As an audit junior, one was given the task to "tick and bop" (the former being a mark you made on the page, the latter being the motion you made with your head). One of the things checked was that reports footed and cross footed ie. Added down and across.

I have found a very simpel set of rules do wonders for making spreadsheets useful. For example, a summary tab, all input cells are color coded in one color used by the entire group, or 'what if' variables color coded in another unique color. When used consistently, the rules are very helpful in passing information among the group, with some understatnding of the structure and thought process of the person producing the sheet.

If you want to read an Excel 2007 spreadsheet in an earlier version, download a free utility from Microsoft that will allow you to read the file.
Posted by Richard Wendt | September 02, 2008 06:43 pm
If you are refreshing the data in your spreadsheet, the top left cell is your starting point to populate the sheet to the right and to the bottom of the page. Control totals at the top of the page (or to the left of your starting cell) do not get overwritten by data refreshing and you do not have to constantly manually add back in your control formulas.

1) I am unfamiliar with the term "rows don't foot". Could you please elaborate? 2) I have found that using a "Table of Contents" worksheet with Hyperlinks to important worksheets/cells works well. Each of the other worksheets also has a Hyperlink back to the "Table of Contents" to facilitate moving around the workbook.
Posted by Cynthia Berndt | September 02, 2008 02:27 pm
I find that using an external database (eg, Access, Applix/TM1, or open source tools like Jedox/Palo) and controlling the quality of the data there is very effective at reducing errors. Part of the problem with spreadsheets is that the data and the format for the reporting/analysis are in the same place. Using an external database with Excel as a reporting front-end keeps the file size down and lets the spreadsheet maker concentrate on the logic and format clarity, rather than wasting time pasting or rekeying data.
Posted by Roy Magruder | August 28, 2008 01:08 pm
There were two related comments about sending files with too much data or sending files with links to files the receiver does not have access to. One of the suggested solutions was to copy and paste the cells with the critical information. My solution is to create a summary tab that links to the backup detail then just copy the whole tab to a new sheet then break the links using Edit/Links/Break Links. This way I maintain the integrity of the supporting details without burdening my reader with an over size file and a bunch detail that will serve to confuse them. Like wise if I receive a file with links to files I do not have I use the break link and save the file.
Posted by Marshall Griffin | August 22, 2008 05:15 pm
Spreadsheets in general can be a problem in regard to SOX. Some of the big complex sheets need to be replaced by database applications. Before you get arrested.

Kate Moss Stuns in Playboy Photos, Sneak Peek in Mag's 60th Anniversary Cover
Kate Moss celebrated her 40th birthday by showing off her curves in a bunny-like fashion on Playboy's cover for its 60th anniversary, according to the DailyMail.com.
Moss appeared on the cover in head to toe bunny attire. She wore a black, velvet leotard, white satin bunny ears and white cufflinks. [SEE ABOVE]
Moss, who will turn 40 on Jan. 16, seemed to do no wrong in Hugh Hefner's eyes, owner of the magazine.
"She's a worldwide celebrity and iconic and crosses the boundaries from sexual imagery to upscale modeling. It's a natural for us," he said.
According to the New York Daily News, the cover was supposed to be a secret. Moss' hairstylist, however, accidentally reported that the model had already posed for fashion photographers Marcus Pigott and Mert Atlas.
On March 16, in a fit of excitement herself, Moss tweeted a photo from London of the legendary Playboy bunny.
Jimmy Jellinek, Playboy's editorial director, told the Los Angeles Times that Moss was the perfect poster girl for the magazine.
"This is a massive global brand. You need a global icon in order to celebrate that - that was the impetus. You're talking about the face of Burberry, the biggest supermodel in the world on the cover of Playboy," he said.
He went on to say that Moss was the "perfect partner" to help Playboy launch their next 60 years of success.
"This creates a heat for the brand globally. It started with Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Playboy 60 years ago, an icon for her time. Now we've got Kate Moss!" he said.
Earlier this year, Moss posed topless for V magazine. She has also appeared naked in an ad for jewelry designer David Yurman and suntan lotion St Tropez.
Moss has joined the group of other famous females like Pamela Anderson and Dolly Parton who have graced the front page of Playboy magazine.
Moss, not known for laying low with a hermit-like lifestyle, has not revealed her plans for her upcoming birthday celebration.

More than 13% of the major online retailers tracked by The Retail Email Blog in July referred to Christmas or the holidays, a higher proportion than in any of the prior 6 years. According to a new report [download page] from Epsilon, as the holiday season nears, retailers may want to rethink their subject lines, as the most popular keywords used during the 2011 season did not drive the highest open rates.
In fact, the Epsilon study finds that the subject-line keywords that had the highest open rates, "coupon" (16.3%) and "intro" (16.1%), were only used in 2.1% and 0.4% of retail emails, respectively. Similarly, "toy" (14.7%), "now" (14.5%), and "new" (14.2%), which rounded out the top 5 subject line keywords in 2011 by open rate, were only used in 0.3%, 4.9%, and 9% of emails, respectively.
By contrast, "free" (used in 25.2% of emails), "shipping" (in 24.8%), and "sale" (in 12%), the most-used keywords in holiday subject lines, only saw open rates ranging from 10.2-10.9%.
During the 2011 holiday season, click rates were highest for emails delivered on Sunday (3.5%), which the report suggests may be due to consumers searching for last-minute deals or considering purchasing online items they viewed in-store earlier in the weekend. Saturday (2.9%) saw the next-highest average click rate, followed by Tuesday (2.8%), while click rates were on Thursdays (2.5%) were the lowest.
Open rates were also lowest on Thursdays (10.1%), while they reached a peak on Tuesdays (11.6%), closely followed by Saturdays (11.5%). Email volume was highest on Fridays and Wednesdays.
Data from Epsilon's "2012 Holiday Trend Report" indicates that Saturdays saw the highest average order values, close to double that of any other day. The report recommends that marketers take advantage by promoting big-ticket items on Saturdays.
Meanwhile, Wednesday (the second-highest day for email volume) saw the highest average conversion rate (10.4%), followed by Saturday (9.5%), Thursday and Friday (both at 8.5%).
About the Data: Epsilon's "2012 Holiday Trend Report" is based on over 1.4 billion email messages from over a dozen companies from October, November and December 2011. Metrics were aggregated and summarized by week. The findings also reflect a segment of historical purchasing activity from the Abacus Cooperative database from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2011.

Book Reviews
Book Reviews
A Balanced Introduction to Computer Science
Even a cursory glance shows that this is intended to be a textbook; however, it is difficult to say at what level this book might be useful. I thought it was overly simplistic for university courses and too detailed for classes taught alongside cooking and painting in Adult Ed.
The author seems to have thought that simply alternating between web programming and other topics made it "balanced." However, the choice of additional topics and how they were covered makes me wonder whether the book started out to be one on web programming, and then additional material was added so that it could be marketed as a general computing book instead of competing in the already satiated web programming book market.
The additional material lacked coherency or logic in the order or depth of its coverage. For example, if the Data Representation chapter had been followed by one on programming with different data types, it might have made sense.
Instead, the chapter was preceded by Conditional Execution and followed by Conditional Repetition, so it seems that the choice of where to insert non-programming chapters was almost random.
Sometime during your career, it might be useful to know how transistors and gates work, and there is a whole chapter on this; however, with the exception of a brief explanation of GUIs, less than one page is devoted to what an operating system is and does. Furthermore, I don't understand why you are told how flip-flops work, but nothing about virtual memory or multi-tasking.Material is presented at a level at which most people can understand it, but some places are so overly simplified that they are misleading, if not outright wrong. The book gets another big ding for the price – US$ 100.
If this book is a requirement for any college computer course, it is no wonder that a college education can break the bank.

Your Brain: The Missing Manual
Network admins know how the network functions and how their tools work. Programmers also understand the development tools they are using, such as IDEs and versioning software. Naturally, knowledge workers need to understand the systems with which they are working. One tool that knowledge workers tend not to know much about is the most important one: their brains.
Your Brain: The Missing Manual begins with a brief overview of your brain and nervous system. Despite the brevity, you get a nice introduction to the architecture of the primary tool of knowledge workers, followed by a chapter about how the brain is powered, which addresses how different kinds of foods and chemicals, such as caffeine, affect our brains.
Next comes a chapter about sleep, which includes what it is, how it affects us, how lack of it affects it, and so forth. For example, I didn't know that sleep actually reinforces things that we learn during the day.
The rest of the book covers less concrete, yet important, aspects of how our brains work, including a look at perception, memory, emotions, and reason. In the chapter about perception, the author discusses how our brains interpret optical illusions, and how our culture can influence how we interpret certain images. In addition to the biological and psychological aspects, the chapter on memory provides some tricks to help improve memory.
Although a few examples relate directly to knowledge work or computers in general, connecting the book's topics to the process of setting up a new database environment or troubleshooting a server problem is straightforward. Overall, this book is an informative, enjoyable read.

Sams Teach Yourself Ajax, JavaScript, and PHP All in One
The publisher's description of this book says, "Using a straightforward, step-by-step approach, each lesson in this book builds on the previous ones, enabling you to learn the essentials of Ajax programming with JavaScript, PHP, and related technologies from the ground up." This sounds like a big goal for one book. I have never been a big fan of books that attempt to teach several different topics at once, and this book didn't change my opinion.
On the other hand, considering all of the limitations of trying to cram so much between the covers, the authors do a reasonable job, with just a few exceptions.
Because each of these primary topics could fill an entire book, the authors do not go into much depth. For example, six pages are dedicated to PHP "classes," and the only thing said about things such as inheritance is that it can be done and extended.
Although authors Phil Ballard and Michael Moncur do a good job of presenting what material is there, they provide an introduction rather than enough material to be put to practical use.
Despite having "Linux" mentioned on the cover, the book seems to be geared specifically toward Windows programmers and browsers because Windows-specific features are mentioned without explanation of how to implement them for Linux.
The book includes a CD with a number of software packages for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, as well as a reference library that, oddly enough, is in PDF instead of HTML. The XAMPP package on the CD is for Linux 1.6.6, which hopefully is not the kernel version, but I didn't find anything more about the package or how to install it.

March 22, 2010 Northwestern Oklahoma State University's Social Sciences Department has received a $100,000 endowment from the Masonic Fraternity of Oklahoma.
With this endowment, the Northwestern Oklahoma State University-Masonic Institute for Citizenship Studies will be created. Among other things, the department hopes to use this Institute to inculcate to the students of Northwestern a sense of patriotism and an ethos of service to the nation.
A reception and gift presentation is planned for Wednesday, March 24, at 4 p.m., in the Wyatt Room in the Student Center. Members of the Masonic Fraternity led by Charles R. Belknap of Enid, Grand Master of Masons, and Charles L. Stuckey of Ponca City, a past Grand Master of Masons, will be in attendance. Belknap and Stuckey are both graduates of Northwestern.
"We are excited to have these individuals at Northwestern," said Dr. Aaron Mason, assistant professor of political science.
Some of the specific duties and tasks of the Institute will be:
To assist in the promotion of annual departmental-related events such as Constitution Day, the Cultural Lecture Series, the Presidential Lecture Series and other related innovative programs;
To defray the costs associated with speakers being brought to campus to present on historical, social, economic and political matters;
To assist in the promotion of university-sponsored conferences concerning United States politics, economics, sociology and history;
To assist with costs associated with various student-run organizations such as Pi Sigma Alpha (political science honors society), Phi Alpha Theta (history honors society) and the Leviathan Society;
To assist the department in its research efforts including publishing activities and other initiatives designed to further the dissemination of knowledge within respective departmental disciplines.
Mason said he attended a Masonic Charity Foundation presentation in August and presented his ideas to John Logan, Executive Director of the Foundation. The collaborative efforts of Mason and the Foundation have resulted in this meaningful gift to Northwestern.
"The Masonic Fraternity of Oklahoma has been very generous, we appreciate their support and are very excited about the endowment," Mason said. "This type of support will not only benefit the University and its students, but also the larger community of northwestern Oklahoma by allowing the University to bring speakers to campus and to provide quality programs that benefit all the people of this part of the state. In this way, the Masons are helping all of us and for that we are grateful."
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Hey guys, I have recently been saving and aquiring parts to go big turbo on my 2002 awp gti. I should be starting this so I thought I would make a little thread to get your guys input and share!
I bought this car about a year ago, almost stock. My previous jetta had the usual bolt ons, so I knew I wanted more; Originally debated going Frankenturbo, but I wanted a kit that is tried and tested with little to no installation issues. Being a student I wasn't planning an over the top build or anything crazy, just a budget build that I can enjoy and can keep growing and improving as funds allow.
Anyway, here we go!
Whats going on:CTS big turbo kit- featuring a garrett 50trim .48ar
Thermal coated manifold/exhaust housing
630cc injectors
Walbro 255 inline pump
Turbo back 3" exhaust
sai,evap,pcv delete
I am still undecided about the tune. Going with either unitronic or maestro.
I like that I dont have to send my ecu away with maestro but I want to drive the car, now spend countless hours working out bugs and tweaking.
Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated!

The Star pistols were easily the best of the Spanish pistols---Star PDs (in 45 ACP) were popular carry guns back in the 80s and 90s---not much choice in those days---The Star BM and BKM were smaller 9mms that also got carried a lot.

Hey fellows, As I posted a couple of weeks ago or maybe it has been longer than that. I was missing not having a Star PD in my carry rotation. I had one in the 80's and it was such a nice carry gun. Well I found a nice one for $350 at a LGS. It had rubber pachmeyer grips which I don't like on my carry guns so I got some nice wooden grips made by Eagle from the 80's for it. I hope to pick it up this weekend or next Thursday ( I am still waiting for the state to clear me) . Any of you guys or gals have a love for the Star PD? I will post pics asap.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!

I had one for many years in the Starvel finish. One of my bud's has a blued one. I think it was probably the perfect size for carry.
Question Everything!
I wish that I still had mine. Nice compact carry firearm. Mine always went bang.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
I owned two of the STAR Firestar series handguns. An M-43, single stack SAO 9mm and it's larger brother, Firestar 30MI, DA/SA 15-1, 9mm.
Both were forged steel frame, heavy as a brick and built like a tank. Accurate and dependable and if STAR was still in business, I would have kept them.
I get a sad feeling when I'm reminded that STAR went out of business years ago and Taurus continues to make mediocre quality handguns.
My dad had one? Bad spring or something made it shoot full auto. Eye opening. He traded it fast.
Ok fellows, Here are a couple of pics of my PD. It is awesome.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Nice looking pistol. Congrats.

Life is fragile and is what we make it. Keep dear to your heart that of your loved ones and fellow man and by God don't try to take it from me or my loved one's.
NICE !!! I've had a couple of them in my past. One in blue and one in Starvel finish. Both were great carry/ shooters and primary carry guns for sure. There's a buffer inside the recoil spring system that needs to be replaced in a timely manner. You can tell when it's getting worn, as you'll start to experience a couple ftf issues. ALWAYS a good idea to keep these little washers in your cookie jar parts. If you come up to the store (KTP) I think I may be able put my hands on a couple of spare mags that might be floating around in the spare mag bins/drawers. Send me a PM and I'll give you my hours that I am there.
Again, you got a great little carry gun that will serve you well for years to come

I heard you can get new buffers for it here; Jack First Gunshop - First in Gun Parts - Rapid City, South Dakota
Nice score TWO GUNS....................... Troll
Damn good looking Piece..!
Congrats.,.and looking forward to your range report.
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Thanks Class3NH, I sent you a pm. Yes I know about the buffers and will be getting some next week. The buffer in the PD looks new.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Congratulations, Two Guns.
Fine looking PD.

I have a soft spot for Star and also Astra. Have a Star BM 9mm around here and a little Astra .25.
I like the look of your new pistole. It's a .45 which is always appropriate. It's made out of real steel. It's compact and handy. I'd own it.
Good price too!

Breakthrough for cleaners as first contractors re-sign historic Clean Start Collective Agreements
The contract cleaning industry and community supporters came together in Canberra today at a historic ceremony to mark the re-signing by 16 cleaning contractors on to Clean Start Collective Agreements.
The first Clean Start Collective Agreement was signed in Canberra in 2008 after a long, hard and often noisy battle by cleaners for fair pay, better jobs and higher standards in Australia's crisis-ridden contract cleaning industry. The latest Agreement includes a 4% pay increase and stronger protection against immoral sub-contracting practices.
Louise Tarrant, National Secretary, of United Voice the cleaners' union, says ""Today is a turning point for Australia's contract cleaning industry.
"The recommitment by key contractors to the Clean Start Collective Agreement for a further four years is significant because it consolidates industry reform which was initiated, fought for and won by workers.
"Low paid cleaners came up with the solutions to stop the race to the bottom in their industry. They convinced property owners, tenants and cleaning companies there was a better way – Clean Start - and they have proven it delivers. In the process, cleaners improved their lives and secured higher building maintenance standards for owners and better services for tenants.
"We don't pretend the battle is over or that all shonky contractors have been driven from the industry. This year's audit of 1,000 cleaning contractors by the Fair Work Ombudsman in response to illegal practices in the industry proves there is more to be done. But the Agreement makes it harder for these operators and provides protection for cleaners and ethical contractors.
"We congratulate cleaners and companies at today's ceremony for their leadership in this essential industry.
"Now it's time for the rest of the industry to respect their cleaning workforce and get behind the industry leaders today re-affirming the value of Clean Start for everybody. Negotiations are progressing and we look forward to more sign ups. Their choice is clear: be part of the solution or be part of the problem," says Louise Tarrant.
Present at the re-signing ceremony at the ACT Legislative Assembly were cleaners, contractors, and political, religious and community leaders, including Imam Adama Konda (Canberra Islamic Institution), Archpriest Father Ilija Dragonsavljevic (Serbian Orthodox Church), Diana Abdel-Rahman (President, Australian Muslim Voice), and Bishop Pat Power (retired Roman Catholic Bishop).
Canberra cleaner Chris Wagland says "I've been a cleaner for 29 years. I work to provide for my three sons and their futures. I take pride in my job and want to be supported to do it properly.
"Before Clean Start, the industry hit rock bottom. Things were really tough for cleaners like me. We were under more and more pressure. It became impossible to do the job well. That's when I decided enough was enough.
"What's changed the most since Clean Start is the attitude. Cleaners have more self-worth and more confidence about what they do. I get more money, which is good, but the job security that goes with it is the most important.
"My supervisors had their doubts, but they have come on side. They see the benefits of a win-win situation. With Clean Start, contractors can get work at a reasonable price without being undercut by dodgy contractors.
"I'm proud of what we have achieved. We can't go back. Clean Start is the future for our industry," says Chris Wagland.
Clean Start Members Say No to an Increased Retirement Age
The Productivity Commission says retirement age should be raised to 70! What do you think?
Listen to Cathy on 'The World Today'
SBS News: Cleaners underpaid by thousands
A union that represents cleaners says it has confirmation that a major cleaning company has been underpaying workers.
The union, United Voice, says the Fair Work Commission has forced Glad Group to disclose its arrangements with sub-contractors, who it says pay employees well below the required rate of $24 per hour.
United Voice secretary Jess Walsh told Andi Yu, it means some cleaners are missing out by up to $15,000 per year.
Taking The Cleaners To Westfield
An Australian union representing cleaners at Westfield malls shelved strike action in favour of a worldwide sweep through the global retail giant's books. Now it's shopping reports of company tax avoidance in the US, UK and Australia.
For two years the giant Westfield shopping-centre group refused to countenance demands to back a modest pay rise for some 1,700 people who clean its Australian shopping malls.
The traditional, stereotypical union response to such a deadlock might have been to pull the cleaners out. Instead, the relevant union, United Voice, determined to put more "cleaners" in.
They put the accounting cleaners through Westfield across three continents, focusing on the tax practices of the Australian-based multinational in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The tactic has not – at least not yet – seen the union's members get their pay rise. But it sure has shone a light on dubious aspects of Westfield's corporate behaviour.
The union, and its associates and agents here, in the US, and the UK, have compiled evidence of tax dodging on an epic scale.
In the United States in 2012 alone, according to the union, Westfield paid some US$116 million less in property tax than it should have.Read more
International students battle workplace exploitation in Australia
By Kate Arnott for Newsline
The union covering hospitality workers and cleaners in Australia has launched a campaign to expose unscrupulous employers who exploit international students.
United Voice says the students are among the most exploited when it comes to the worst paid jobs in Melbourne.
"We've heard stories in the hospitality industry of international students being paid as little as 7 or 8 dollars (AUS) an hour," said Jess Walsh, the Victorian secretary for United Voice.
"Now in Australia the minimum wage is just over 16 dollars an hour,"
Dr Mark Zirnsak from the Justice and International Mission with the Uniting Church said there are cases where overseas students working as cleaners have neither met their employers nor seen a pay slip.
A recent union survey of 200 international students found one quarter received 10 dollars an hour or less and 60 per cent earned less than the minimum wage.
As well, United Voice says students reported being subjected to discrimination and abuse.
"What can happen is a group of international students perhaps Chinese students or Indian students might start working in a building and they find they are systematically treated differently from the other cleaners who are doing the same work," said Jess Walsh from United Voice.
"Perhaps given some of the tougher jobs perhaps reprimanded more severely if they make a mistake."Read more
Glad Group caught ripping off international students
Cleaners need your help!
And – they've ripped off their cleaners repeatedly in the past! Glad has been forced to repay almost $200,000 in unpaid wages to cleaners and fined $62,000.
It almost seems like this company has built its business ripping off cleaners.
Please give us your feedback: what should cleaners and the community do to stop Glad exploiting its workers?

Global Assault on Westfield Group
By the Australian Financial Review:
Westfield Group is facing a challenge to its social, environmental and governance policies from a global coalition of labour and community groups. In Australia, the focus is on a dispute with the union, United Voice, on behalf of the more than 1600 cleaners in Westfield's malls. In the US, the focus has been on Westfield's contribution to property taxes which fund services like schools. The driving force behind the campaign is a veteran union organiser and the national president of United Voice, Michael Crosby. "Companies need to pay attention to Environmental Social and Governance (ESG)," he says. "On a tiny issue like cleaning they have blown us off and now it is coming back to bite them." Westfield co-chief executive, Steven Lowy, dismisses the claims. On cleaning, he says Westfield has dealt in a very professional manner with an issue that is about wages being paid by contractors. On US land taxes, Lowy says his group has paid its property taxes "as assessed by the County and in accordance with California law, just like everyone else". But that has not stopped Crosby. Last month he held a meeting in the Washington headquarters of the American Federation of Teachers to agitate for concerted action. Along with the teachers were representatives of the Teamsters, whose members include public employees like firemen who are paid by property taxes in states like Florida – and the London-based Economic Policy Group. Crosby has also commissioned a report on Westfield in Britain. And he is planning to "reach out to" environmental groups. "The result of disrespecting the cleaners is that Westfield will have problems everywhere they operate in the world," he says. "They are not behaving rationally. If we got everything we asked for, it is only the equivalent of the depreciation on two corporate jets."Read more
City raid turns up heat on GLAD Group
The cleaner's union, United Voice last night ran the first of a series of raids on a leading cleaning company after exposing its practice of repeatedly underpaying international students.
Last night's action confirmed that subcontractors engaged by the Glad Group were illegally paying international student cleaners almost $6.00 an hour below award wages at 114 William Street, Melbourne.
Almost two-thirds of Glad Group's city cleaners are international students and their mistreatment, as revealed in a United Voice investigation last month, threatens the viability of Australia's export education industry.
The raids are following the revelation that Glad has been found on 25 occasions to have under-paid Melbourne cleaners a total of $57,651.51. And last year in the Federal Magistrates Court Glad was fined $62,000 and made to repay 31 Sydney cleaners a total of $133,845.93.
Cleaning Industry, A Dirty Business for International Students
The cleaning industry seems to be getting murkier by the day for international students as they are becoming major victims of scams wherein they lose up to $15000 a year in wages and benefits.
Office cleaners working in Melbourne's CBD are routinely subjected to wage rip-offs, exploitation and verbal abuse, a covert investigation by cleaners union United Voice has revealed. The investigation has also revealed that international students are the major victims of this scam.
The report reveals that deep inside our grandest, shiniest office towers is a secret world rife with bullying, intimidation and fear and that students working as cleaners are subject to exploitation and are under extreme stress in terms of job insecurity.
The report has also found that some office tower owners are duped of up to $150000 a year by cleaning firms promising to pay their staff $24.35 an hour but instead pay only $15 or less.Read more

James Gandolfini's long-awaited movie with co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus comes out tomorrow on what would have been the late Sopranos' star's 52nd birthday. Gandolfini's last film Enough Said is about a divorced woman who decides to pursue a guy who ends up being her new friend's ex-husband. It's a comedy that's said to be sincere and loveable.
USA Today reviews the movie saying:
It's clever, farcical and offers wry social commentary. With its heartfelt performances, intelligent writing and subtle humor, this is easily one of the most perceptive and engaging movies of the year … It is easily his best performance since Tony Soprano — in a role that's light years away from the memorable Mob boss.

NYPD Commissioner Calls Verdicts "Disappointing"
New York, NY —
It's not everyday we get a verdict, let alone a mistrial, in a police murder case. Yesterday, we got both. Former "Sopranos" actor Lillo Brancato was cleared of second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of off-duty police officer, Daniel Enchautegui.
A judge also declared a mistrial in the shooting death of officer Russell Timoshenko during a traffic stop in Brooklyn last year.
Here to help us make sense of the two cases is Eugene O'Donnell Professor of Law and Police Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He's also a former police officer and former prosecutor.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Tracheomalacia is collapse of the airway when breathing. This means that when your child exhales, the trachea narrows or collapses so much that it may feel hard to breathe. This may result in a vibrating noise or cough.
Tracheomalacia can result in recurring respiratory illnesses, or make it difficult to recover from a respiratory illness. In the long term, it can lead to progressive lung injury.
Many families—and even doctors—do not know that there are surgical treatments for tracheomalacia. At Boston Children's Hospital, our surgeons provide advanced treatments to cure this condition.
Tracheomalacia occurs when the cartilage in the trachea (windpipe) has not developed properly and causes the airway to narrow during exhalation. Tracheomalacia may be congenital (present at birth), or acquired later.
Tracheomalacia has many different forms. Some children will only experience mild forms. For others, this condition can be life threatening and require immediate intervention to allow your child to breathe regularly again.
Tracheomalacia is often undetected or misdiagnosed, often as asthma or simply noisy breathing. You may have been told that this is the "new normal" for your child or that your child will eventually grow out of it. Our doctors will be able to provide more information about your child's condition and make sure you know everything you need to know.
After your child is diagnosed with tracheomalacia, you may feel overwhelmed with information. Your neonatologist or pediatric surgeon may suggest that your child is treated at the hospital where you delivered. However, given the rarity of this condition and the importance of a successful first treatment (repeated procedures can result in complications), it is important to know all of your options. You want the best possible care for your child, which means working with surgeons who have significant experience treating this condition.
Here are some questions you may want to ask your doctor:
To make an appointment or speak with a member of our team, please call 617-355-3038.
For families residing outside of the United States, please call Boston Children's International Health Services at +01-617-355-5209.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

I Feel As If I've Committed A Horrible Sin!
Dh recieved the best raise that he ever has w/ any company that he's ever worked for (3K yr added to his base pay) so.......
last night he wanted to take all of out to dinner to celebrate. For years,we had been wanting to treat the kids to the Chinese buffet -but for us, that was unthinkable( too expensive).Well, we broke down & did it anyway last night.
Even though the baby ate for free & 3 of the smaller houseapes had reduced cost meals & I ordered water to drink...the bill came to...........$99.02 plus a $12 tip for the waitress for waiting on our large family.
We did pay cash for all of it & it didn't take away from anything else in our budget....but I still feel so horrible for spending that much....I keep thinking of how we could have put that money toward something else - then I try to reason that it was okay b/c we were celebrating dh's good news.......still feel guilty,though.

Yes, that is a big bill. On the other hand, it's not as if this is a regular thing for you. A celebration is just that: CELEBRATE! It seems as if you have this under control since you paid with cash. Don't beat yourself up over it. It's important that your children share your celebration and understand the rarity and preciousness of it. And congrats on the raise!03-28-2008, 10:47 AM #3

A CELEBRATION IS A CELEBRATION!!! Celebrations do not come along very often. Yes, the bill was rather high but you had a worthy thing to celebrate relish the memory because there will be many times in the future as you eat your frugal meals that you can look back on the memory...and by the way smile and think of the good time that you had.Blessed and Highly Favored!!!!

I have found that the occasional splurge helps my family to stay on track frugally with less complaints.
It seems like a lot, but you made memories with your houseapes and celebrated your husband's success! Nothing to feel guilty about!03-28-2008, 11:06 AM #6

$112 for 2 adults and at least 4 children isn't that bad for a celebratory night out.
The next comments are not meant to be harsh or rude so please, please don't take offense by them.
In your post, you sound as if you almost regret your decision to celebrate. That you denied yourself something to keep the cost down (water instead of tea or soda/alcohol). I don't understand where your guilt is coming from but it comes across as very strong. If your guilt overshadows the celebration to the extent where you feel that horrible and regret it, then how many more memories and celebrations will be tainted in the future? Will you and your children learn to associate celebrating with guilt? Why celebrate at all then?
Aren't we frugal as often as we can be so we can enjoy the things we truely want out of life? Celebrating good fortune and making a memorable night for you, dh and the kids was priceless. Don't beat yourself up with guilt.
With all the hard work you put into beign frugal and raising your family YOU deserve to enjoy yourself when you make the decision to celebrate.03-28-2008, 11:27 AM #8

Congrats on the raise!! YAY for your family!!!
I would not feel bad about taking your entire family out to eat - you have a good sized family and eating out is not cheap. This was a celebration - not a every week kind of thing! Most folks will tell you that splurging is also included in being frugal - I think it's great to splurge when something great happens. Just yesterday we splurged - my DS16 got his drivers license! So my husband let him pick his treat - Pizza Hut stuffed crust. Not enough to feed the family until we were full and $13 for one pizza instead of $5 at Little Caesar's - but it was DS's treat. Same for you and your family - a special treat!!
Congratulations on the raise!!

When good things happen you deserve to celebrate and I think a $3000 raise is a darned good reason to celebrate...get off the guilt trip and make fond memories of that meal, rather than guilt ridden ones!03-28-2008, 02:24 PM #12

That's such a wonderful thing. Don't spoil it by feeling bad about something you don't do that often. This was a "live a little" splurge. Enjoy that you did it.03-28-2008, 03:36 PM #13

Graham Stokes 15th January 2016
"DJM provided a first class service from start to finish. Not having used DJM before I was apprehensive about giving them the go ahead for my bathroom overhaul and re-fit, but there was no need to have been concerned. Dan took the time required at the initial visit to listen to what I wanted, fully explained various options and fully answered my questions. The work was then carried out over a 2 week period to a very high standard throughout and Dan kept me fully informed of what would be happening each day. Dan arrived every day at the agreed time to fit in around my family's routine. Even the little extras that I added as the work progressed was no trouble, Dan simply sourced and fitted these with no fuss. I have ended up with a new modern bathroom, exactly as I wanted and despite the extras added, the work came in under the initial estimate. I have already discussed with Dan another job for him later this year and would not hesitate to recommend him to others."

"Dan and his team did a wonderful job of preparing the ground and putting together a log cabin kit. Their skill and understanding of the nature of wood ensured that it will last for years to come and the quality of the finished product was far better than I expected. They went above and beyond what was expected of them and for a very reasonable price."
Steve Wood 7th August 2015
"We had a tricky building problem that some turned down due to access issues. We wanted an outhouse down the side of our house with only 3 foot to spare - and 18 foot long, on uneven ground and it needed to be waterproof as it stores a glider. Dan and his team came up with a well built, clever design with lead flashing and gutters. Perfect! On budget, on time - even in the rain. Very happy customers."

Robert Overett 18th July 2015
"Dan arrived promptly as promised to price for repairing the porch woodwork, replace guttering, wooden facias and clearing gutters. He then emailed a quote and arranged the start date all within a week. The work was carried out whilst we were away, keeping in touch and then emailed photos of the completed work. Quality of work and attention to detail was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending DJM Carpentry and Building, and will use their services again."

Ian Maden 3rd May 2015
"Dan came in on time, on budget, with excellent advice thrown in. He is a perfectionist as was his colleague Glenn. I will definitely have them back for phase 2. Cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment he arrived to quote I felt confidence in him and he delivered,"

Educational Children's Book, 'Tame Your Manners at K.A.M.P. Safari,' Receives Recognition
PALM BEACH, Fla., May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Interest and participation by libraries and schools grows as author, Loretta Neff and The Elegant Way Foundation, Inc. announced that their children's educational book, Tame Your Manners at K.A.M.P. Safari, received a coveted literary review by The Children's Book Review and further credibility of its message on manners with a prized testimonial from The Emily Post Institute.
Since its debut in March 2014, Tame Your Manners at K.A.M.P. Safari continues to charm children, parents, caregivers, and teachers across the country, and has already proven to be a "must-have" book for families and a teaching tool for at-risk and special needs children.
"We all know it's a jungle out there, so it might be time to head to K.A.M.P. (Kids' Animals & Manners Program)! Using wild animals and their traits as examples on how to and how not to behave in social and home settings, author Loretta Neff provides kids with an enjoyable and humorous approach to improving manners and etiquette and creating relatable experiences that put the lessons of social graces into perspectiveincluding bullying," states The Children's Book Review. To read the full review, please visit www.childrensbookreview.com.
Tame Your Manners also received a prized testimonial recently by the author's greatest teaching influence and an industry pioneer, The Emily Post Institute. Lizzie Post, author and spokesperson for The Emily Post Institute encapsulates the book, "Tame Your Manners at K.A.M.P. Safari is a creative and fun way to introduce kids to the concepts of etiquette that are the foundation behind most of our manners."
Author Loretta Neff, commented, "These types of endorsements not only meet the high standards of libraries and schools, but also demonstrate the value of the book even if published outside the traditional publishing realm. We knew that gaining the support of the literary world would not be easy on our own, but having control of the book project to meet our charitable mission was an important factor in our publishing decision. We're beating the odds, and are truly grateful for having the support of educators and literary professionals to help ensure our continued success."

Yola, this is your 3rd anniversary at the Bridge. We think of you all the time and talk about what a great great dog you were and how privileged we were to have you even if it was just for a short time. We adopted you when you were 12 years old....you were only with us a little over two years. For a big dog such as you, I guess that's pretty good, but the day you left us we were filled with such sadness.
I hope you are running free with your dog brother Zoot...and he is taking you on great adventures like he used to do when you two were young together. We love you, Sweet Yola...we always will.
Thank you Abby and family for my box of candy. It's so nice not to be forgotten by my friends, especially since I have already crossed over the rainbow bridge. Thank you for remembering me...I am a lucky dog to have so many good friends.
Today is Yola's birthday. What a special dog she was. We adopted her when she was 12 yrs. old. We only had her 2 yrs. She passed on Nov 5,2010
She must be running with her brother Zoot...they went everywhere together before they were adopted out separately.
We love you, Yola and we always will.

· Three cheers for the Home Office-commissioned KPMG report on the alcohol industry's social responsibilities, published today, which appears to condemn pub and bar operators and recommends a tough new code of conduct or mandatory regulation led by local authorities. These are the bad guys, it's clear. Strangely, however, the supermarkets get a pat on the back for exemplary behaviour, despite price-led promotions such as the Morrison's TV campaign last Christmas which saw Lulu and other celebrity tipplers endorsing great deals such as £10 for a litre bottle of Smirnoff, Gordon's or Bell's. Now interestingly, Smirnoff, Gordon's and Bell's are all made by Diageo, the world's largest drinks company and one of Britain's biggest exporters. And it does seem quite interesting that KPMG is auditor to both Morrisons and Diageo, and has been hired by Diageo to lead the group's fight against whisky import tariffs in India. But then it's all quite interesting in its own way, really. Can't wait to read it.
· Impatient, too, to see David Cameron in action as he moves to fix our broken society. First stop Watford, where, as we know, his former parliamentary candidate Ian Oakley has resigned in the wake of his arrest over allegations that he masterminded a campaign of intimidation against his political rivals. Victims endured hate mail, unsolicited pornography and vandalism. The tour might then reasonably progress to Bury, where the highlight of Tory rule since May appears to have been the appearance of one of the victorious councillors at the local police station, alleging that he had been manhandled after a meeting by a senior party colleague. The alleged victim said he did not wish to pursue the matter, though he had it formally recorded, but many will nevertheless take the view that this is the sort of low-level yobbishness we must eradicate if our society is to heal. Cameron must act. We know he will.
· Because we know Mrs T would have been straight on to it. The Iron Lady we called her. And that wasn't just her medication. Last week we reminisced about the misery she brought Labour types and how they swapped malicious jokes to cheer themselves up when she held the reins of power. Correspondent John Stringer brings us this example, which was doing the rounds in 1980s Sheffield. "Thatcher died and went to hell, and after two hours the devil rejected her. God asked why. She'd done such terrible things in her life; he thought that was the appropriate place for her. 'Because she's only been here two hours and she's shut down 20 furnaces already,' explained the devil. After which he was marked down as a wet." She stood no nonsense in the glory days.
· She famously had her particular take on the economy and the money supply; as has Robert Mugabe, but everything we hear suggests that his will be even more ruinous. One businessman travelling in Zimbabwe informed the firm's accountants in London that the meal he enjoyed the night before had cost one trillion Zimbabwe dollars. Using the official Zimbabwe exchange rate, this came to £15.2m, he said, but calculated using the prevailing unofficial rate, the bill came out at £3.30. Which rate should he use, he asked? And what should one tip?
· Finally, we salute Anthony Young, 77, a British National Party council candidate whose hopes of sweeping to power in east London were stymied by the fact that he could only muster 37 votes for the extreme right in his chosen ward while the Conservative gained 1,600. It was a difficult campaign. He spoke about it afterwards. "The scruffy and amateurish-looking leaflet distributed some 36 hours before the polls opened - and to at most some 400 people carefully selected from the register as having British, European or Jewish-looking names - cannot have helped," grumbled the candidate to the Ilford Recorder. "I won't stand for election again for anything anywhere. Perhaps in heaven, if I ever get there, it will be different, but frankly it helps nobody to pretend that someone of my vintage is physically or mentally up to the job." On the contrary, Mr Young. We thought you were perfect. Perhaps we're biased.

He's well-known for his success with the ladies, but James Franco insists he never did the hibbity-dibbity with Lindsay Lohan.
The "Spring Breakers" stud told Los Angeles Magazine that despite his poetry about the "Mean Girls" actress in his new book "Directing Herbert White," he's never sealed the deal with her.
Coming up with another "Kimye" spoof, Seth Rogen and partner-in-crime James Franco forged a hilarious rendition of Vogue's latest cover picture.
Looking snazzy for the interview, James Franco stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Friday (March 14).
Though he's best known for his acting work, the 35-year-old star dabbles in many other art forms and got the chance to promote his latest pet project during his appearance.
She has a well-established appetite for male affection, and Lindsay Lohan'ss list of bedfellows appears to be long and distinguished.
Per a report from In Touch magazine, the "Mean Girls" star kept a roster of the guys she's boffed, and back in January she shared the record with some gal pals.
Lighting up the Big Apple on Thursday (March 6), James Franco and "Gossip Girl" starlet Leighton Meester attended the "Of Mice And Men" press conference at Signature Theatre.
He loves to have several irons in the fire so-to-speak, and last night (March 5) James Franco kicked off Franco Fest in New York City.
The "Spring Breakers" stud was joined by Travis Mathews at the IFC Center in Manhattan as he welcomed guests and hammed it up for the shutterbugs.
He's no stranger to the pressures of fame, and James Franco has a special place in his heart for Shia LaBeouf, regardless of his penchant for strange antics.
The "Spring Breakers" stud wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times in which he dissected the possible causes for the "Constantine" hunk's curious tendencies.
Tinseltown is replete with romance this time of year, and some of our favorite famous folks took to Twitter to share Valentine's Day greetings.
Chris Brown tweeted some love- "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all the beautiful women around the world.. Know that you are loved and appreciated !! God bless."
