Large Animal Veterinary
Ask a Large Animal Vet and Get Answers to Your Questions ASAP
Thank you for your question.
I have a few questions for you.
How many days had she had her hind leg problem?
Is she eating and drinking normally?
Are her bowel movements normal?
Do you see any cloudy nasal discharge?
I got her yesterday from a friend. Apprently she has had the problem since birth, nurse fine from mama in the beginning but then slowly got weaker until they decided to remove her from her mom because she obviously wasn't getting enough. She nurses from a bottle great! Haven't had a problem at all there. She has round hard stools and is peeing just fine. She did have cloudy nasal discharge yesterday but not much. Today it is much clearer. I'm just trying to figure out if I can help her out. Poor thing is a sweetheart and tries SO hard to get up but just struggles all while breathing hard and panting. It's almost like it hurts her to try to get up.
Only when she tries to rise
Her temperature is normal, she nurses well and her breathing becomes labored only when she struggles to rise. This rules out a respiratory infection.
Selenium deficiency is always a possibility in kids with muscle problems. The BO-SE you have given addresses the possible selenium problem.
There is a possibility that she has inflammation or swelling around the nerves of her hind limbs. This could have occured during her birth. An injection of the antiinflammatory drug flunixin (Banamine or Prevail) may be helpful in this case. One mL per 10 pounds once daily for three days may be helpful.
I'm sorry that you have rated my service as poor.
What can I for you do to make my service better?

It hasn't been an easy job to re-roof the old Treadwell pump house on Sandy Beach.
"They're working the weather and the tides a bit."
That may be a bit of an understatement. Project manager Gary Gillette says it should have been done by now.
When calm winds and tides allow, roofers from North Pacific Erectors make progress on the more than 100-year old building.
Gillette says most of the roof blew off years ago. And now the Treadwell Historic Preservation and Restoration Society has raised the funds to repair it.
Gillette is on the society's board. He says project costs could reach $35,000.
"It sounds high. The materials are probably 6 or 7 thousand of that, but when you also consider the logistics of getting materials out there, dealing with the tide, getting up to that structure, they had to build a platform to work from, it's pretty involved for such a little project," he says.
The society has a state grant matched by local donations of materials and cash to repair the concrete structure that's an icon of the old Treadwell mining days. He says the society needs to raise another $8,000.
Workers are using treated wood for new interior walls and the roof, so Gillette says it should last another 50 to 100 years.
Not all the work can be seen.
"They had to build a platform inside to work from then they had to build the walls inside because they didn't want to rest the roof on the existing walls," he says. "The concrete is not strong enough to take it, so there's more than meets the eye there."
To help preserve the new roof, the window openings will also be covered.
"Part of the problem is the wind gets through there and puts a lot of lifting forces on the roof and lets rain and stuff get in there," Gillette says, "so we're covering over the windows with a black material."
He says the windows will still look like a black hole in the concrete structure.
"It's called Dibond and it's like two layers of really thin aluminum with a high density foam core," he says. "I think it's an eighth or a quarter-inch thick."
The Treadwell pump house was used to pump salt water for the milling process and fire suppression when the fresh water in Treadwell Ditch froze in the winter.
The pump house project is part of the Treadwell society's effort to preserve the old mining area. Last year interpretive signs were put up along the trail. Gillette says the society also has some state grant funds to design a new roof for the old concrete office building that's left near the trail.

To pay respects to the birth of the Johnny Cupcakes brand—which took place while I was a sales clerk at the Newbury Comics record shop in Braintree, Massachusetts—we collaborated on a t-shirt for the re-grand opening of Newbury Comics, Braintree. We announced this last minute, and still had many people camping out. They usually call it urban camping—but this time it may have been suburban camping. Sorry to hear about the coyotes in the parking lot at night…glad nobody got eaten all the way.
Always great to see both familiar faces and new people.
My pal Justin and I both worked at Newbury Comics 10 years ago. It was a great time in our lives, as we met many wonderful people and shared an awful lot of laughter + memories. So brainstorming on this simple project together, held a lot of sentimental value to us. We only produced 100 t-shirts, which were all individually numbered. & 100 pins. All sold out!
Andy with his brand ASN clothing. The t-shirt he made, and is wearing, says "What the pho?" -I thought it was pretty clever!
One of the coolest items I've ever signed! Battletoads for regular NES / Nintendo Entertainment System. One of the hardest games for that system—aside from Ghosts 'n Goblins for regular Nintendo.
A lot of people came out to show support—these two are from Brockton, MA. And speaking of NES…I used to beg for rides there, from friends—so that I could search for regular Nintendo Games at the old Cash Converters pawn/thrift shop.
Free cupcakes for all!
Marianne and I have known each other since way before I even had a shop in Boston. She's been the captain of the ship, with organizing, planning, designing this new location for Newbury Comics. She's done one heck of a job! Marianne is quite talented. Once she crafts more of her awesome mystery items, I'll post some photos up online. Actually, maybe I'll even see if she wants to do a run of limited JC x Marianne mystery items…
Newbury Comics very much feels like the movie Empire Records.
Their new location has much more room for growth—but still has all of their o.g. merchandise.
Did you know that I used to DJ from ages 14-17? No laptop djing… I would lug around many crates of records and would DJ in the rap band I was in (we even played at CBGB's!) I also DJ'd parties, as well as this one short-lived club in my town. Some day I'd like to get into music again. Maybe making music from scratch.
Where it all started…
A simple homage to the humble beginnings.

One hour east of Havana lies the port city of Matanzas, where rumba emerged in the late 19th century. Brought to Cuba by Africans who were transported to the island to work as slaves, rumba was created around a flamboyant and boisterous combination of Congolese-derived drumming styles and Spanish flamenco-singing influences. It has grown to become one of Cuba's most important Afro-Cuban dance and music genres.
The rhythms of rumba have given rise to three very different forms of dance. Yambú is the oldest and slowest; it is rarely performed today. Guaguancó is a flirtatious dance, performed by couples. Columbia, the fastest and most athletic, is performed by a male dancer.
By the mid-20th century, rumba was merging with son to form the precursor of salsa. To many, rumba is more than a music and dance genre; it is the collective expression of the Creole nature of the island itself.

I've often said my quilts have more exciting lives than I do. They certainly travel more with trips to exotic faraway places, performing in their in colourful textillian ways. If only they could tell stories of their adventures, I'm sure they would keep us entertained for hours with interesting tales. All I can report is the parts of their journeys that I do know about.

Charming Smiles - A finished quilt.
I know some of you are curious after my last post as to what I was up to with my colourful button and pretty fabric combinations.
I was a tad worried you'd get sick of me showing yet another finished quilt so soon after the last few so I thought it would be nice to have a post of simple eye candy. Plus I thought it was only fair to the buttons to give them a post of their own because little details like that sometimes get lost in the bigger picture.
Anyway I won't keep you suspense any longer, without further ado, here's the big reveal...

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren, which allows bloggers to share what books they've received in the past week. They can be from stores, contests, tours or publishers!
Most of my new books this week are compliments of my two library memberships! It's been a great way for me to find and hire books I would otherwise have to buy (and most likely ship from overseas) I have a lot of Maria V. Snyder this week – mainly because I've heard so many good things about her books! I can't wait to read them!
• Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder (purchased)
• Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder (purchased)
• Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder (purchased)
• Forget-Her-Nots by Amy Brecount White (from Skye via the Aussie Swap!)
• The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan (library borrowed)
• The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong (library borrowed)
• The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong (library borrowed)
• The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong (library borrowed)
• Stolen by Lucy Christopher (library borrowed)
• Storm Glass by Maria V. Snyder (library borrowed)
The Study series by Maria V Snyder was only $20 in one pack! I instantly snapped the set up because usually they're $20 each – or at least they were last time I looked in a bookstore. I'm also thrilled to be able to read Forget-Her-Nots from Skye. I'll be sending her The Dark Divine this week in exchange. My first book swap, yahoo. I'm so excited! :)

During the American invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Iranian government cooperated and provided intelligence information. At that point, there was a real opportunity to end old disputes and reach a common accord since Iran disliked the Taliban government in Afghanistan. George Bush rebuffed Iranian efforts at reconciliation, but the Obama administration is making concerted effort to establish relations with Iran. Richard Holbrooke, special envoy to Afghanistan chatted with Iranian delegate, Mohammad Mehdi Akhundzadeh at an international conference in The Hague. Akhundzadeh announced: "Welcoming the proposal for joint co-operation offered by countries contributing to Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully prepared to participate in the projects aimed at combating drug trafficking and p lans in line with developing and reconstructing Afghanistan."
Iran is being hit with drugs entering their nation and impacting youth. They also have scant love for the Taliban and would prefer a stable government to its north. The window is open to join together and deal with the drug issue. After that, it will be possible to explore other ventures for cooperation. A first step might be small, but it is a step away from Bush policies which alienated Iran.

To decide whether a liver transplant is the right treatment for your child, the transplant team at Seattle Children's Hospital will carefully assess your child's:
We also consider what we learned in our meetings with your family.
The biggest factor in making the transplant decision is the urgency of your child's situation. If your child is in intensive care with acute liver failure, the evaluation and transplant decision can be made within one day.
You can expect a decision within one week of completing your pre-transplant evaluation if your child has had liver disease for a long time and the liver's function continues to get worse. Once all of your child's information and test results are ready, the entire transplant team will meet to make the decision.
A member of the team will communicate the recommendation to you by phone or at your child's next scheduled clinic visit. You will also receive a notice of this recommendation in writing.
The decision could include any of the following:
If the team decides that your child is a candidate for liver transplant and you as a family agree, your child will be placed on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) transplant waiting list, even if your child is receiving liver tissue from a living donor.

We all know that yogurt is good for us. Low fat yogurt is a good source of dairy and calcium, helping to make our bones stronger. It's also packed with beneficial bacterial cultures that help support digestion and our immune system. But do you ever get bored of your watery, runny American-style yogurt? Have you been looking for a thicker more indulgent alternative that will still keep you healthy? Look no further…Greek yogurt is here to stay! Greek yogurt is a better alternative to the stuff we're used to eating. Just make sure to opt for the low-fat or non-fat varieties.
Texture - Greek yogurt has a smooth, rich and thick consistency that tastes too good to be true! Part of what makes Greek yogurt different than regular yogurt is that it is strained to remove the whey, giving it a dense texture
Versatility - Greek yogurt can be used for both savory and sweet dishes. Due to its thick texture and rich taste, many people use it as a substitute for milk, sour cream and even crème fraiche when cooking or baking.
More Protein - Greek yogurt is a protein powerhouse. Since it is strained, the protein content is concentrated, providing an average of 20g per cup as opposed to 13g per cup for the American style.
Easier to Digest - Greek yogurt contains less carbs than regular yogurt and therefore less lactose, the sugar in dairy products that can sometimes upset people's stomachs.
Fullness Factor - Greek yogurt is dense and so high in protein that it keeps you feeling full and satisfied longer.

Onodera keeps Japanese title
By Joe Koizumi
WBA#14 Yosukezan Onodera (20-1-1, 7 KOs), 140, kept swinging roundhouse blows mostly to the target named air, and barely managed to keep his Japanese national super-light belt by a unanimous but disappointing decision (97-91, 98-81 and 97-92) over powerless southpaw Yuji Wauke (12-3, 6 KOs), 139.75, over ten hard-fought but terrible rounds on Monday in Tokyo, Japan. Fresh from his upset coronation by dethroning then world-rated Norio Kimura (retired) in his fourteenth defense this April, Onodera was expected to show a good performance in the initial defense before his warm-heated adherents. Too nervous and tense, Onodera forgot textbook jabs and straight rights only to wildly throw looping punches, missing the target time and again. Why could he win? Wauke, the southpaw challenger, was infected with a swine-flu-like swinging decesase and poorly followed the champ's roundhouse rallies. He hit the deck with the champ's chopping right in the third, and they were both wasting great amount of energy, hitting the air together all night. Promoter: B-Tight Promotions.

A $100million manufacturing company in Alabama was undergoing major restructuring. It planned to spin everal of its lines into standalone business units. It needed General Managers and key support people for each unit. The CEO asked Dr. Lakin to assess all of his managers (26) as part of his planning for how to best use the talent in the organization.
A venture capital group in Boston asked Dr. Lakin to assess a candidate for their new acquisition of a $70million company in San Francisco. After the candidate was hired, Dr. Lakin was asked to coach the new CEO for a year. The CEO subsequently asked Dr. Lakin to assess of his direct reports and candidates for new positions to help with planning and performance improvement.
The owners of a $70million+ company in Baltimore asked Dr. Lakin to assess them, their family members, COO, and CFO to make recommendations for helping family members become the next generation of leadership over the next five years.
The President of a $50million manufacturer in Arkansas asked Dr. Lakin to assess his senior team to help plan a series of succession plans and spin-offs for the near future.
The Chairman of a $800million conglomerate would routinely ask Dr. Lakin to assess the senior management team of each new acquisition to help assess talent and to look for successors to key people in other divisions.
A typical referral:
...CEO is frustrated that recent new hires did not work out or that there were too many surprises.
...Senior manager recognizes that more objectivity is needed in the hiring process.
...A desire for a third-party to look at an existing team and help development planning.
...A problem manager needs to be assessed to determine if he/she is worth the effort to develop (and if "fixing" is a likely possibility).
Dr. Lakin helps companies reduce some of the surprises in selecting and developing managers. It is not easy to see which candidate is the best one for the company or to tell which person is ready for promotion. Dr. Duane Lakin and his colleagues interview and test candidates for key positions in companies to help make such decisions easier for the hiring executive. They also assist in developing individuals and teams through training and individual coaching.
Dr. Lakin also teaches NLP skills to selling professionals across the US, Canada, and Great Britain. He leads NLP-based sales training in customized formats and through public workshops called "The Unfair Advantage, Sell with NLP!". The Unfair Advantage is also available to individuals in a workbook format. More information can be seen at Sales training NLP for Sales. A free sampler of the NLP training program can be found by contacting Dr. Lakin at firstname.lastname@example.com. For those who prefer to learn by listening, an audiobook of "The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP!" is also available. Click the links on the home page for more information. Online lessons are also available at www.SellWithNLP.com.
Dr. Lakin has a background in clinical and organizational psychology, systems theory as applied to family and organizations, and organization/management development. He is a consultant to companies in the US, Canada, and the UK. He is a member of the American Psychological Association, and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Agoura Hills may be wettest in L.A. County
Agoura Hills may be wettest in L.A. County
By John Loesing
Acorn Staff Writer
Swimming pools are filled to the brim and rain gutters work overtime, but the best way to tell that the area has received more than ample rain this season is by the gauges used by meteorologists.
The Los Angeles County Public Works Department, operator of the flood control districts, receives rainfall information from 71 automatic gauges throughout the county. Individuals take manual readings at another 150 sites countywide.
A busy spot for rain tabulation this year has been Agoura Hills where one of the automatic gauges is located.
Almost 24 inches were recorded in the city as of March 6, according to the public works department. Eight to 10 inches fell in the area during the first week of March alone.
Average rainfall in Agoura Hills stands at 17.5 inches as measured each season from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
Over three inches fell on March 6, but that wasn't the city's biggest day. The gauge registered 4.89 inches on Jan. 10.
Agoura Hills officials said property held up well despite a persistent Pacific storm that lingered off the coast for a week. No major flooding occurred on streets or sidewalks, but a crumbling hillside threatened the backyard of a home at the corner of Eagleton Street and Pisces Street in the Fountainwood area, according to Dave Adams, city manager.
The slide was contained, but other hillsides in the city remain soaked to capacity.
The rain also caused saturation on Ladyface Mountain, the city landmark just south of Agoura Road.
"In the past we've seen a waterfall coming off the mountain, last week there were two," Adams said.
Some of the biggest rainfall totals in the entire county have been recorded in Agoura Hills this season, according to officials.
"We're dealing with higher elevations and things like that," said Rodney Brown, a public works spokesman. "We have different cells in certain areas and some areas won't get as much rainfall. It varies."
Just a few miles away in Calabasas, for example, the season total is 21 inches compared to 24 inches for Agoura Hills.
Like Agoura Hills, Calabasas rainfall is about three inches above normal, said Betty-Jeanne Farmer, a citizen who operates a county rain gauge at her home in Old Town.
Guess what, Farmer said. There's still plenty of time left this season for even more rain.
"It's not really unusual, but I really wish it would go away for a while," Farmer said. "Sometimes we'll get a string of one or two inches in a day."
Farmer and her husband collect the rain in an old metal cylinder located in their backyard, the same instrument they've used for years. Farmer's father-in-law began taking measurements at the house in the 1920s and the job has been in the family ever since.
Farmer said the last big rainy season was 1998 when El Nino dumped over 41 inches on Calabasas. It was the year when normal rainfall amounts doubled and more than 20 inches fell on the Farmers' rain gauge in February alone.

Startups competing for $10,000 prize at Recruiting Innovation Summit
The world of recruiting is changing every day. The tried-and-true practices of past generations of recruiters have all but gone by the wayside as the digital age ushers in a revolutionary era of hiring strategies. Technologies such as social media websites, talent communities, mobile apps and email have had a major impact on the way hiring managers identify and evaluate potential hires for their organizations.
Next month, Ere.net will be hosting the Recruiting Innovation Summit in order to showcase and educate companies about upcoming technologies in the recruiting industry. The event will be held at the Computer History Museum on May 17 and 18 in Mountain View, California.
The conference will feature a brand new startup competition, in which six companies will compete for a $10,000 grand prize based on their advances in recruiting technology, according to the Recruiting Innovation Summit website. Out of 50 applicants, GooodJob, Lab of Apps, Ongig, Mystery Applicant, TraitPerception and Venturocket were selected for the running. In addition to presenting their developments for the grand prize, each organization will have the chance to meet with major recruiting companies and discuss the future of hiring.

Currently in the editing and production queue, for publication in the next couple of weeks, are the following documents by Yours Truly:
Also in the works is a piece that I'm co-authoring with Thomas Keitt about serious gaming as a tool for requirements collection. Updates on the exact publication date of these documents are coming soon.
Unfortunately, the document about the future of CRM is coming next month. I'll give you a more exact ETA, Dear Reader, as soon as I can.
Once in a while, I enjoy columns about technology from people outside the technology industry. James Fallows, for example, doesn't suffer from all the unstated assumptions and personal agendas that many inside the industry have, so he regularly makes very useful observations from the "civilian" perspective.
On the other hand, Farhad Manjoo's column in Slate today really misses the mark. Here's his argument in a nutshell:

Forrester's Business & Technology Leadership Forum 2008 is coming up soon — September 23-24 in Orlando, Fla. This event is designed to arm technology and business leaders with emerging organizational, process, and technology practices that balance chaos and control to drive new business value. We have a great speaker lineup this year, with keynotes from:

I'll confess, one of the more surprising results of my recent research into Agile development in practice is the large number of motives to go Agile. From eliminating useless documentation to shortening development cycles to making the schedule more predictable, there were as many different reasons for Agile as people I interviewed.
Perhaps that's part of the success story of Agile: partly by design, partly by historical accident, the Agile movement addressed many different needs. In this way, Agile is a lot like the Protestant Reformation. Remember junior high school history class, when we heard that Luther's protest conveniently occurred just when secular princes were looking for ways to gain independence from Rome? The Agile movement arrived when more was happening in the technology industry than just the disgust of developers with schedules in which no one believed, or projects that didn't deliver what the customer wanted.
Posted by Tom Grant on September 8, 2008
Sometimes, personal or organizational change depends less on what new techniques you choose, and more on the fact that you're making any choice at all. For example, to some degree, losing weight is about making a commitment to some dieting technique, to be named later. Which diet you choose matters, of course, but it's not the sole determinant of weight loss.
In doing research here at Forrester, I keep having that thought as I skip merrily from topic to topic. Thinking about adopting some requirements tools? Good for you! The acknowledgement that you need better ways to track and analyze what customers want you to build, rather than what you prefer to build, is the first step towards greater product success. Before you choose the right tool, congratulate yourself on making that commitment.
Feel like the development team is going to lose its collective mind trying to apply some waterfall methodology? Congratulations! You're ready to look at the product development process in a whole new way. Soon, you'll be ready to pick the Agile methodology that works for you.

|Oil and water: The future of marine renewables
|Friday, 25 March 2011 15:27
Page 1 of 4
by James Ashworth*
The age of cheap energy is over.
This undoubtedly presents huge challenges, but it also opens up huge opportunities for engineers and scientists. The use of oil as a dependable and secure long term option looks ever more improbable as the world's supplies are rocked by political and price instability. Predicted global energy demand growth of 40 percent by 2030 points towards a future scramble for supplies. And the environmental picture prevails ever stronger. Those that ignore the changes face becoming like "the best horse-whip manufacturer in town just as they invented the motor car".
Questions over renewable energy are inevitably linked to political will and the cost and availability of carbon-based alternatives. But renewable technology has moved on and some of it might be closer to hand than we imagine. Nature has provided engineers with technical solutions to many of today's challenges, opening up a new field called "bio-mimicry". The world's oceans contain over 5,000 times current global energy demand. Wind and solar power are important but maritime renewable energy will inevitably play its part too. What are the options available?
Oil and Democracy
The seething discontent that has surfaced in the Middle East and North Africa is a portent of tectonic changes to come. Many oil suppliers are governed by old men enforcing often brutal and usually autocratic rule. The deals, under which oil is supplied, will likely bear little detailed future and open scrutiny. The West lauds political emancipation. But it is hoisted by its own petard. Pluralistic democracy and free speech are poor bedfellows with shadowy deals. Other shifts have occurred that serve to change the picture further.1. Current unrest makes guaranteed oil supplies increasingly uncertain
Less than two decades ago, 70 percent of the world's oil supplies were under the operational control of the world's major oil companies. Today, this position is reversed. 70 percent of world oil is now controlled by governments, many of whom are facing actual or potential civil unrest. Most oil companies have already passed their point of peak production and we can wonder at what might be their long term business model.
Game Changers
There is probably more oil left in the ground today than that used in the history of man. But what remains is far less accessible than that used and much is to be found in deep water or under ice. This means that the cost of extraction multiplies. The recent 'Deepwater Horizon' disaster in the Gulf of Mexico did more than expose an uncomfortably close relationship between the US Government, its safety regulators and the oil industry. It generated raw anger amongst the voting public that will have most politicians thinking twice about supporting exploration in environmentally sensitive areas. Increasingly vocal opinion and toughening legislation point towards additional costs of compliance.2. The 'Deepwater Horizon' changed the game
Within the last three to four years, we have witnessed the development of horizontal drilling techniques. Drilling into Barnett shale deposits, small explosions are used to crack the rocks and release plentiful natural gas. Traditional gas prices have been linked to oil. But any significant growth in global economic activity or other upward pressure on oil prices will likely see the gas price decouple. Relatively cheap, abundant and "clean" gas (it produces roughly half the CO2 of oil) could replace expensive and "dirty" oil as the transportation fuel of choice. It is already making big inroads into oil fired power plants.
Meeting the demand for global energy
Some estimates predict global energy demand will rise from current levels around 25 Terawatt hours (TWh = 1012 Watt hours) up to 40TWh. Meeting this demand without producing devastating levels of environmental pollution present huge challenges. In February, China's Environment Minister, Zhou Shengxian warned that pollution and the demand for energy and other resources "threaten to choke China's economic growth" and Premier Wen Jiabao said China was lowering its annual economic growth target from 7.5 percent to 7.0 percent, in part because of its impact on the environment. The holy grail of nuclear fusion (the energy that powers the sun) is still some way off. So the intermediate solution will comprise a mosaic of technology. Current renewable technology, whilst offering good environmental credentials, is mostly too small the meet the requirements of the grid. And the wild weather conditions that favour renewable generation tend to be remote from the population demand. Power distribution technology has still not caught up with generation.
The only sensible, clean and capable solution today for significant grid power generation lies with Uranium 235 and nuclear fission. Public perception and misconception surrounding nuclear technology is politically charged and emotional. In truth, atomic bombs and nuclear power are as closely related as a tsunami is to a glass of water. The French have been generating 80 percent of their power needs and exporting more over decades, without incident. The current disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is undoubtedly of concern. But it clouds the real issues as the factual is held hostage to the sensational. Nuclear power remains fundamentally safe and clean.
Renewable power has traditionally land-based on photovoltaic generation (solar cells) and wind turbines. The challenge has always been the trade off with arable land for solar farms and aesthetic and acoustic pollution of large wind turbines. Both have also offered relatively low levels of power output; good for supplying small communities, but not good for long distance grid generation. This is changing and the new generation of offshore devices hold out the promise of large scale, renewable power some of which is already in the making.

Ductless Mini-Split
This is not really a DIY question, but thought it would be an interesting discussion.
Why is this technology not used more in the US?
This unit appears to answer many needs caused by poor duct assembly and attic or crawlspace duct installation.
COST $$$. The better ones are all imports, Fujitsu, Sanyo, LG, Mitsuibishi and expensive. They are very popular in Asia. They are good for A/C but cannot produce much heat with a heat pump or have add on electric heat so that eliminates all the States that need supplemental electric heaters in the ductwork for cooler times of the year.
I also find them loud. With central AC you only have a small register or two which is more visually pleasing than having a unit mounted on the wall.
LOUD, You sure yoo are talking about minisplit uints??
The vast majority you can't hear the blower running most of the time.
What brands and models did you wire in that were loud,
Volume is hard to describe in itself. A cellphone is loud in a quiet movie theater, but yelling is quiet at a gun range. The only way to describe volume is a comparison. Split units are quiet compared to window or wall units, however, they are louder than central AC (which is what the thread starter was comparing it to).
I can't say that they are in all applications. Sounds like the ones you wired were not installed quiet properly.
Like I said earlier. Many you have to try to hear running. Specially the newer ones with inverter condenser units.
So the drawbacks could be:
1 - No emergency heat function.
2 - Cost which can be subjective.
3 - Sound, which again is subjective.
4 - Aesthetics, maybe also subjective.
Do the units truely provide better cooling vs a heat pump?
What about heat vs a heat pump?
Has anyone installed one of the multi-zone units? I know there are benefits to standard zoned systems.
They provide the same amount of cooling as a heat pump. Only difference is the reversing valve in a heat pump allows the reverse cycle. Heat pumps lose their heat output proportionately as the outside temp drops and cost more to run at lower temps/produce less heat. Google: air to air heat pumps for more info. http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/publications/...sheatpumps.cfm
Fuji makes some VERY high end high SEER units
Sound is very quiet from my experience. Although a high end air handler or furnace with a variable speed ECM motor/blower can be EXTREMELY quiet if setup properly with correct sized ducts.
Some units stop running at an outdoor temp of 13°, others still provide heat at -10.
Depends on what brand/model your getting. They can deliver 80% of rated heat at very low temps. Compared to regular split system heat pumps.
I've installed two mini-split heat pumps at my residence in North Carolina where temps have ranged from 0 to 100 F. They are Friedrich M18Y3F units and they both worked flawlessly in heat and cold for 4 years until one of them stopped cooling a few weeks ago. Service guys says lightning got to it. Hopefully a new control board is going to put that unit back on line soon.
Both are indeed a bit loud when blowing on high speed, but the ultra-quiet low speed setting is virtually silent. Of course you don't get 18000 BTU/hr on low speed either. Comparing the noise of a mini-split to one duct on a central HVAC system is comparing apples to oranges.
Regarding efficiencies, my "inverter" mini-splits tune themselves to the required heating or cooling load and seem to be very efficient. But they cost more too.
Cost is probably the factor. I looked into one of these myself, as some can actually be done DIY, the refrigerant tube has a special connector kinda like a quick switch air compressor connection. But at their cost, may as well pay a bit more for central AC.
Ended up buying a portable unit instead, though I sometimes regret not getting a through the wall unit. The portable unit is east to setup, but is VERY loud and inefficient. It gets the job done though.
Mini splits will be louder then central AC because the fan is in the unit itself, not in the basement in the furnace, but the portable units will be even louder.

Okay, this term is one of my pet-hates. I just wanted to see what you guys think.
So not to taint the poll, I will leave my opinion out for a while .. :wink:
And to make this fun, the first person who knows where the original term "Latin America" came from you get a surprise! :P
Re: Hispanic/Latino
Re: Hispanic/Latino
Hint: Cinco de Mayo
I thought the term Latin America was coined by Napoleon to empahasize that the region spoke a Romance language (Spanish, Portuguese and French are all Romance languages) as opposed to the mainly anglo roots of North America, and he knew the term Franco America would not be accepted. Napoleon was attempting to take over this region.
I guess the Cinco de Mayo reference has to do with the fact that the Mexicans defeated Napoleon.
Am I right?
I don't think Latino/Latina or Hispanic are races anymore than North American is a race - the region is highly mixed with African, European, Asian and aboriginal blood. It has always been understood primarily as a linguistic/cultural category in terms of the census, etc. However, there are many commonalities between people from Latin American countries (and also many differences - like Africa, it is a huge, diverse region) and I think most people have a stereotype of what a Latino looks like. For me, I will sometimes say I am mixed race Latina/African because in my mind they are two separate things and both my parents look very different, though both are from the Caribbean which is in L. America.
A cyber beijo from me :kisses:kisses.gif (what more could you expect from a poor graduate student :lol: )
This is an interesting write up I found.
For me Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity/cultural/linguistic group.
Hispanic to me means someone who speaks Spanish (e.g., Spain) and that excludes Portuguese and French speakers. Many people from Latin America that I know do not use Hispanic when referring to themselves *especially* if they live on the West Coast of the US. On the East Coast, it is more likely to be used interchangeably with Latino.
I have friends from Romania and Italy and they too refer to themselves as Latin meaning that they speak a Latin language. I never think twice about their usage because it is true.
If someone says he is Latino then I immediately think he are from a Latin American country.
None of these terms refers to a race as people from these countries can be of any arbitrary race.
As Amneris said, calling Latino or Hispanic a race is like calling North Americans a racial group. The same race and ethnicities that immigrated to the US also immigrated to Latin America. For example, there are people of Japanese descent in Brasil. To me they are Brasilian and Latin and I would not exclude them. A friend of mine who is Japanese Brasilian studied abroad in Utah (have not explanation for why she choose Utah LOL) and the people at her school did not believe her when she said she was Brasilian and Latina. She was hurt by this because Brasilian, not Japanese, is all of the culture she knew. BTW the people who said this to her were American (usually White or Black) or Mexican.
Another friend of mine is Jewish and she was born in Brasil to Polish parents. She is offended when people look at her blond hair and blue eyes and Jewish culture and tell her that she is not Latina enough (whatever that means) because she is not Catholic and she does not have the stereotypical features of a Latin person :roll: . And many of these people who say this *are* from Latin America!
I actually do not say I am Latina. I say that I have Brasilian heritage. I sometimes say that I am from a Latin culture but never say I am of Latin/Latino/Hispanic race because LATIN/LATINO/HISPANIC ARE NOT RACES. Just wanted to put that out there for the people who think it is...... :lol:
Many people (especially North Americans but also other people) forget that Latinos have different customs, food, language/use of language, skin color, and hair color and texture. Even within the same country, we are different. Yet, this eclectic blend makes us special and unique. 8)
According to the US government there are 5 main races:
American Indian or Alaskan Indian
Black or African American
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
and 2 main ethnicities:
Non Hispanic/Latino
The ethnicity question should always be asked first, then the race question.
(I work in public health, and have to deal with this stuff ALL the time.)
OOps. When I put in my vote, I didn't even read what the title was. I thought it was asking if I was Latina and I voted yes. I didn't know the post was asking if one thought being a Latino/a was a race until I started reading what you very smart curlies were saying. You are absolutely right, being Latino/Latina is not a race, as anyone who has picked up a history book can discern. Very cool discussion.
I know it's not a racial classification but sometimes it makes things easier.
Technically I am hispanic (and that's the term I use other than dominican) because I'm from the island of Hispanola. However, I've always thought of everyone but Brazil & Belize being included in the hispanic classification and Latin being the umbrella term. I think latino is very much a west coast, mexican thing.
We all make assumptions. Just this past fall, I was super-embarassed! I was at a musical theatre audition and a good friend was with me, and we met this woman who was a very recent immigrant from Argentina (where my grandfather is from) who my friend had met previously, and I was speaking to her in Spanish. My friend is Italian-Canadian and could basically understand us as she speaks Italian. Anyway, the conversation ended where she was saying she'd like to meet more Latin Americans and I invited her to come to the Spnaish mass at my church if church was her thing (assuming all Latin Americans are Catholic, as the vast majority are.) She got kind of uncomfortable and said it wasn't her thing. When she left, my friend told me I had made a huge faux pas... she was Jewish! I am embarassed to say the thought never crossed my mind. I haven't seen the woman since, but I really hope she doesn't think I was trying to convert her or disparaging her faith!!!!
I was not talking about the person who makes assumptions because we all do that. I am talking about the people who tell the people that if they do not look or act a certain way then they are not true Latinos. You were not doing that when you invited the person to Misa.
Being Brasilian we NEVER say Hispanic to describe ourselves and hardly say Latino (but that is for another reason as many of you know. <ducking from the apples being thrown at me>) :lol:
It is the same as calling North Americans a race and I doubt anyone would do that. And obviously that North American is not a race but like Latin America, Europe, etc. it does have a culture in common.
The US only uses it to separate Hispanics from North American. It was not a category until there was a huge influx of people from Latin America. No one cared when a few Costa Ricans, Brasilians, Argentineans, etc. immigrated to the US.
It is more of a political (and social) than a scientific thing
I am not sure if the term is used in Europe.
ETA: Race is such an arbitrary term anyway. During the 19th Century, Italians and Irish were each considered a separate race. :roll:
The idea of race changes with politics and society.
my hubby is mexican. when i talked to the cencus lady she ask what race my hubby was. then she gave me a list and he was not on it. so she marked him as other.

Show of hands, who LOVES being attacked by insects every time they walk outside?
Nobody? I figured as much!
Mosquitoes, flies, gnats, anything! They're all over the place and they are just waiting to buzz in your face or chomp on your skin!
You've tried EVERYTHING to keep 'em away!
Instead of trying to avoid them or scare 'em off - how about you put a stop to them FOR GOOD!
This bug zapping racket is way more effective!
When you pop batteries in this bad boy and hold down the activation button, it's not only going to let you give insects a whack, it's gonna ZAP 'em dead immediately!
It really works! I've been using one of these for YEARS and it's always been my go-to for solving annoying insect problems.
It doesn't matter how soft you hit with it, the zap does all the work!
And the best part? It's TOTALLY SAFE!
For one: you have to be holding the button for the racket to have any power to it! If that button isn't pressed, it's just a plain old racket! If you accidentally touch the top, nothing will happen!
And two: even with the button pressed, it has a safety "mesh" on both sides! You'd have to be really trying to touch the electric part of the racket! But bugs? They're so small they go right through and always get zapped!
So feel free to let anyone use this bad boy (and honestly, once you've seen it, nobody can resist trying it out!)
And honestly? It's just fun! Like I said, once you give this thing a try, it's impossible to put back down!

3-23-12 OWL and WW Tourney
Awarded by, 03-25-2012 at 08:23 AM (659 Views)
3-23-12 Owl Tourney Lanier Had a trip with two groups "Outdoors Without Limits" and "Wounded Warriors" at Lanier for striper and spotted bass. What a great couple of organizations, makes you realize how blessed and lucky we all are and how much others have sacrificed for our freedom. Had close to 40 boats and almost 60 participants. Weather was sweet with overcast skies and mild breeze. I fished with Mac and Wayne and what a couple of wonderful fishermen. Wayne had never caught a striper so was thrilled, Mac loved bass fishing and had some really nice spots. All fish came on bluebacks slow trolled behind planer boards out in 80 feet of water just off the channel. Stripers are cruising the surface now and will blast the baits, spots came off humps, midlake. Thanks again guys for your service and letting us help a little, lots of fun. Back to Fontana next week. Later Capt. James

When Jack Gleeson's Game Of Thrones character was killed off last year, he was inundated with offers to star in blockbuster action movies.
But the Irish star turned them all down — so he could focus on his own theatre company.
Gleeson, who founded the company with three friends from university, is now preparing to bring their acclaimed surreal comedy Bears In Space to the Soho Theatre.
The actor, 23, who played villain King Joffrey in the HBO drama, told the Standard: "The offers came in, but I just had a lack of desire to do a big action movie. What I enjoy most is this kind of thing, where I can have fun with my friends.
"My real interest is in creating something from the ground up. I never say never to anything, but for the time being I get far more fulfilment from being part of a project that I have helped create and have more of a stake in."
When he left Game Of Thrones he initially said he had retired from acting, claiming he was no longer enjoying it.
But he said this project had reinvigorated him, adding: "I never said anything so definitive. Plus, I don't really see this as acting — it's more like a fun project with friends."

Gleeson set up the Collapsing Horse Theatre Company with Aaron Heffernan, Eoghan Quinn and Dan Colley after the four met at the drama club while studying at Trinity College in Dublin.
Their productions involve puppets and comedy, and Bears In Space was well received when it was performed at the Edinburgh Festival last year.
Quinn said: "It is about two bears in an intergalactic space ship who have just thawed from cryogenic stasis. It's a journey of self-discovery for them and ultimately a story about love and friendship.
"One of the main themes of the play is that you are there for your friends no matter what, and their friendship prevails no matter what comes between them."
Gleeson added: "A lot of the feedback we had was that people got a lot of entertainment from seeing four friends really enjoying performing together."
Bears In Space is on at the Soho Theatre from August 3 to 22. sohotheatre.com/whats-on/bears-in-spaceReuse content

Citation: Coss-Bu, J., Sunehag, A., Haymond, M. 2006. Contributon of fructose to glucose formation during meal ingestion [abstract]. American Diabetes Association 65th Annual Meeting, San Diego, California. Abstract No. 2646. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Fructose (FRU) constitutes an important source of carbohydrate intake. FRU is absorbed into the portal circulation unchanged and totally extracted by the liver on a first-pass basis. Evidence exists for the direct conversion of FRU into glucose (GLU) (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 87, pp 5449, 1990). The current study was undertaken to determine the contribution of FRU (both 6 and 3 carbon units) to GLU formation during meal ingestion. Following an overnight fast, three healthy adults (age, 25+/-4(SE) yrs; 60.7+/-3.2 kg.; BMI, 22.6+/-0.7 kg/m2) received a bolus of oral FRU (0.72 g/kg) enriched with 2 percent [U-13C] FRU (Study 1) or oral FRU (0.72g/kg) enriched with 2 percent [U-13C] FRU plus GLU (0.72 g/kg) (Study 2). Four hours following meal ingestion, subjects received I.V. bolus of glucagon (15ug/kg) to assess the uptake and storage of fructose carbons in glycogen. Glucose production rate (GPR, measured with [6,62H2] glucose) at baseline and GLU plasma enrichments of E[13C3]GLU and E[13C6]GLU were measured. Results: Study 1: GPR was 12.1+/-1.5 µmol.kg-1.min-1, and E[13C3]GLU at 1,2,3, and 4h after bolus were 1.8+/-0.3, 2.3+/-0.08, 2.4+/-0.1, and 1.8+/-0.2 percent, respectively. Study 2: GPR was 10.9+/-0.8 µmol.kg-1.min-1, and E[13C3]GLU at 1,2,3, and 4 after bolus were 0.48+/-0.03, 0.64+/-0.01, 0.82+/-0.02, and 1.02+/-0.09 percent, respectively. Following glucagon administration, the area under the curve (AUC) for the difference in plasma glucose concentration (mM) at 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes was 81+/-37 for fructose alone; and 79+/-24 for fructose with glucose (p=0.96); while the AUC for the difference in E[13C3]GLU at 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes was -16+/-5 for FRU alone, and 7.5+/-3 for FRU with GLU (p =0.01). The enrichment values for E[13C6]GLU were essentially zero (<0.1 percent) in both studies. Conclusions: 1) There is no direct conversion from fructose to glucose. 2) During ingestion of fructose alone up to 60 percent of glucose is derived from 3 carbon fractions of fructose, but only 20 percent during fructose plus glucose. 3) A greater fraction of fructose was converted to glycogen when fructose is co-ingested with glucose compared to fructose alone.

Japan's Java wars: Convenience stores angle for coffee market crown
By Chang-Ran Kim
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's convenience store operators are jostling for eminence in a famously cut-throat industry, and one product has come up trumps for the market's top players - coffee.
Millions and millions of cups of it.
Inspired by a popular 100 yen ($0.93) blend launched by McDonald's in 2008, Seven-Eleven touched off a boom in convenience store coffee last year, lifting Japan's long-stagnant coffee market and rankling rival businesses.
Late last month, Lawson became the latest convenience store chain to offer 100 yen coffee, a move that its president says has already buoyed sales.
Coffee, more than anything else, attracts both new and repeat customers, who typically also spend money on other items, convenience store executives say. Like other fast-food items, it also carries relatively high margins.
"The impact of coffee on customer traffic is huge," Lawson President Genichi Tamatsuka said recently.
As convenience store coffee heats up Japan's 1.3 trillion yen ($12 billion) coffee market, Starbucks Coffee Japan is planning to step up its premium teas and ready-to-drink products.
Convenience stores have been serving machine-made coffee for years but it never caught on due to quality reasons. Continued...

Klimt painting expected to sell for $25 million
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - A Gustav Klimt landscape stolen by the Nazis and recently restituted to the heirs of its Austrian owner is expected to sell for more than $25 million at auction this Autumn, Sotheby's said on Friday.
Klimt's "Litzberg on the Attersee" is being sold by Georges Jorisch, a great-nephew of Austrian iron magnate Viktor Zuckerkandl. When he died in 1927 the work was inherited by his sister Amalie Redlich, who was Jorisch's grandmother.
Redlich was deported to Lodz in 1941 and never heard from again. Her art collection was seized by the Nazis and sold. The Klimt work ended up at the Museum de Moderne Salzberg.
Last week the museum returned the work to Jorisch.
Researchers had spent 10 years investigating and authenticating Jorisch's childhood memories and description of the canvas hanging in Zuckerkandl's modernist home in the suburb of Purkersdorf, where he lived until age 10.
"The upcoming sale will benefit not only the heirs of Amalie Redlich, but also the Museum de Moderne," Andrea Jungmann, Sotheby's Austria's managing director, said in a statement.
Jorisch, who now lives in Montreal, will donate a portion of the proceeds for an extension of the museum to be named in his grandmother honor.
Sotheby's New York head of Impressionist and modern art Simon Shaw praised the nearly 100-year-old landscape's stunning quality, rarity and important provenance.
The auction house expects the work to command upwards of $25 million when it is sold at its fall sale of Impressionist and modern art on November 2. Continued...

text: PARIS, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tendil & Lombardi announce their new range of true Champagnes to hit shelves in the U.S. for the 2012 holiday season. Tendil & Lombardi Champagne is the project of Laurent Tendil and Stephane Lombardi, childhood friends from Lyon, France. Champagne lovers from early on, Tendil et Lombardi both left top management positions in multinational companies when they made the leap towards what had been a dream for years, creating their own Champagne. After reaching an agreement in 2007 with a producer allowing them to use parcels and equipment in the Aube region (Cotes des Bars), Tendil and Lombardi started the elaboration of their first cuvees, which would be released in 2011. Lombardi explains "We both decided to chase down our dream, despite the economic climate and personal financial risks. We've had some very rough nights where I would call Tendil saying this project is hopeless, and he'd tell me that we'd be fine -- some other nights he would call and I would be the one to reassure him." The road is still very long for these two entrepreneurs, nevertheless Tendil & Lombardi Champagnes are already sold in eight countries, and all six cuvees have been rated 90+ by Wine Spectator, not to mention the positive response from Wine Enthusiast, Stephen Tanzer and others. Tendil & Lombardi's six cuvees are mainly mono-varietal, either Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Lombardi explains, "This choice allows us to produce Champagnes that respect the specificity and authenticity of these two noble Champagne grapes." A highlight of the range is their "Rose de Saignee." Whereas most modern rose Champagnes are made by adding red wine, Tendil & Lombardi's rose gets its enchanting pink color from the traditional method of leaving the juice in contact with the skins of the Pinot Noir. The only blended cuvee in the range is the Cuvee Hymenee.

Couple sought for 2 N.C. deaths surrender after Norfolk standoff | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com
A couple wanted in connection with a double homicide in North Carolina led state troopers on an early morning chase Friday that ended at MacArthur Center, where they held off officers for hours before surrendering.
The couple's month-old child was with them and the man had a gun, police said. No one was injured.
Police identified the couple as Timothy Hartford Jr., 38, and Ashley Kristine Smith, 26, both of Kernersville, N.C.
Winston-Salem, N.C., police on Friday charged the pair with two counts each of murder and one count each of attempted first-degree murder.
Sgt. Michelle Cotten, a State Police spokeswoman, said Trooper J.D. Goad was parked near U.S. 58 and Wilroy Road in Suffolk about 1:45 a.m. when he spotted a Ford Explorer. It matched a description put out earlier by North Carolina authorities.
Goad followed the Explorer along U.S. 58 until other troopers could join him. Only then did he put on his lights and try to pull the vehicle over.
The driver did not stop, Cotten said, and instead led troopers on a chase along U.S. 58 and through the Downtown Tunnel. Speeds reached 80 mph, and a male passenger in the vehicle brandished a gun, Cotten said.
Troopers placed tire spikes on the Norfolk side of the tunnel in an effort to stop the vehicle, but it was still able to continue on to the MacArthur parking garage.
The sport utility vehicle crashed through a wooden traffic gate and stopped inside the entrance to the parking garage just after 2 a.m.
Police negotiators made contact with the couple and talked with them through the night, Cotten said. The only thing they asked for was a Coca-Cola for the child, Cotten said.
The couple faced an array of law enforcement, including police from Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk, state troopers, U.S. marshals, tactical teams, bomb squads, negotiators and traffic, motorcycle and bicycle officers, Cotten said.
About 7 a.m., the couple gave the child to authorities, and a few minutes later the man tossed a gun from the window of the SUV and the couple surrendered.
They are in custody in Norfolk and the infant has been taken by Child Protective Services.
Despite the standoff at MacArthur Center, mall General Manager Jim Wofford said all businesses opened on time. The only disruption came from part of the parking garage being shut down while police investigated the crime scene.
Hartford and Smith are being held in Norfolk without bond pending extradition proceedings to return them to North Carolina. M ore charges might be lodged against them, Cotten said.
Hartford, who has a lengthy criminal record including convictions for credit card theft, robbery and drug offenses, had been released from prison 16 months ago, according to the North Carolina Department of Corrections.
He was arrested again in October in Kernersville, N.C., and charged with possession of cocaine. He was free Thursday, having been released on bond, pending trial.
Capt. David Clayton of the Winston-Salem police said charges against Hartford and Smith stem from an incident on Thursday.
William and Edith Anne Magness, a married couple who are volunteers for Meals on Wheels, were delivering a meal to a home about noon when someone shot both of them, Clayton said.
The couple, from Clemmons, N.C., were making the last of 13 stops on their route.
When police arrived, they found that the resident they had been taking the meal to, identified as Robert Denning, had been shot.
William Magness survived and was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he remained Friday. His wife and Denning died.
Witnesses described a white man in a silver SUV leaving the driveway after the shooting, Clayton said.
Residents also told police that a man seen in a gray or silver SUV had parked in area driveways in recent days and had knocked on doors, asking residents for water or food for his baby. It was on the basis of those descriptions that police issued the alert Goad heard early Friday.
The Magnesses had been delivering meals one day a month for eight years, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.
They moved to Clemmons from Michigan several years ago, neighbors told the newspaper. Anne Magness was active in a garden club. Bill Magness is an avid golfer and devotedly tended to the couple's yard.
"He kept it immaculate," said Betty Morris, who lives two doors down from the Magnesses. "A weed didn't dare grow in his yard."
Mike Kite has lived next door to Denning for the past 20 years, the Journal reported. Denning had a stroke several years ago and was paralyzed on his left side. He used a walker. "He still had a great mind," Kite said.
He said that Denning was a bit of a loner, who lived simply. "I don't understand why anybody would want to do this," Kite said. "Bob never had any money."
Peggy Williams, an administrative assistant at Pine Grove United Methodist Church, told the newspaper that Denning would call the church occasionally, just to talk with someone.
"To kill an old man who can't defend himself and who was trying to live an independent life..." she said, her voice trailing off. "It's just kind of heart-breaking."
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
