Research Volunteer Education
In accordance with the policies and procedures of Thomas Jefferson University, volunteers are to receive training in laboratory safety. The information in this training module is meant to provide a general overview of the topics. For more complete information, you will need to attend a Lab Safety training class. These classes are held monthly, and a listing of the dates and times of the classes can be found at Office of Research Administration. Your Principle Investigator can assist you in finding this information.
Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) administers the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. It is a standard that requires that all material originating from humans be treated as potentially infectious no matter the perceived low risk of where that material comes from. This includes blood, body fluids, semen, vaginal secretions, saliva, human organs, human tissues, and human cells, even if these cells come from a commercial source, such as ATCC.
Bloodborne pathogens are organisms that use blood or body fluids to spread. Currently, there are three known viruses of particular concern. These are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
HIV is a disease of the immune system that makes it difficult to fight disease and infections. Once infected, it can take months to years for symptoms to develop. Common symptoms include fevers and night sweats, swollen lymph glands, rapid weight loss, fatigue, rashes, white spots in the mouth (thrush). Infection with the virus is still often fatal in time. While medications can control symptoms and prevent secondary infections, there is currently no vaccination or cure for HIV. Infection is spread through direct contact with blood, body fluids, or human tissues/cells.
In the research setting, the highest risk comes from working directly with the virus, from a scratch with a pipette tip while working in cell culture or an accidental needlestick while inoculating animals. It is also possible to become HIV positive through an accidental injection of a lentiviral construct during a research project. In this case, while showing positive on an HIV test, the symptoms of the disease would not occur.
To protect yourself, always wear gloves when working in the lab, use safety needles for injections, and make sure animals are well anesthetized during the injection procedure.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
Hepatitis C is also a risk to healthcare workers. Like HBV, HCV also attacks the liver, but the symptoms are a milder version of those found in Hepatitis B. It can take from 2 to 26 weeks for an infection to develop following exposure. Also like HBV, the infection can become chronic and lead to cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. There is no vaccination available for HCV.
In the research setting, the highest risk comes from working directly with the virus, from a scratch with a pipette tip while working in cell culture or an accidental needlestick while inoculating animals.
To prevent infection by any of these viruses or other bloodborne pathogens, always wear gloves while working in the lab. When not working in the biosafety cabinet (BSC), wear eye protection, i.e. for moving cell cultures between the biosafety Cabinet (BSC) and the incubator. After removing your gloves, make sure to wash your hands before leaving the work area or donning another pair of gloves. If an exposure does occur, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water or flush your eyes out at an eye wash station, report the incident to your supervisor, complete an accident report, and report to University Health Services (UHS). If the incident occurs before or after UHS's regular business hours (7:30am-4:00pm), then report to TJU's emergency room.
Fire Safety
Fires require fuel, oxygen, and heat. These are the components of the fire triangle. A fire will break out whenever these items come together in the right amounts. By the same token, if you remove any one of these items from the equation, you can prevent a fire from happening.
If a fire should occur, you need to follow the steps below. The first letter of each step spells the word RACE; the acronym you should ALWAYS remember no matter where a fire occurs.
- Rescue-anyone in immediate danger. Also be aware of your fellow lab personnel that may need some assistance leaving the area: the co-worker who is 7-8 months pregnant, a co-worker just back from surgery, someone who has a broken leg and is wearing a boot, etc…
- Alarm-activate the pull station closest to your area and dial "811" from a campus phone. You can also use your cell phone to dial 215-955-8888. This is equivalent to using the local number for your police station or dialing "911." "811" will bring assistance quicker but if you feel uncomfortable with stopping long enough to use a Jefferson phone, then use the local number.
- Confine-close the door behind you
- Evacuate. Leave the building using the fire tower stairs. If you feel that the fire is small enough to be extinguished with a single extinguisher AND you feel comfortable using one, then attempt to extinguish the fire. MAKE SURE you have left yourself an escape path. NEVER allow the fire to get between you and your exit!
To use a fire extinguisher, remember the acronym PASS.
- Pull the pin. (Some fire extinguishers may require releasing a lock latch or pressing a puncture lever.)
- Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. You should be standing six to ten feet away from the fire.
- Squeeze the handle in five-second bursts. Do not move towards the fire too soon. If you do, you may push the fire backward where it can flare up.
- Sweep the nozzle from side to side across the base of the fire.
Hazard Communication
OSHA has another standard called the "Hazard Communication Standard." It requires employers to ensure the safety of their employees who work with hazardous materials. Since many of these materials are chemical in nature, that is what the standard focuses on.
A chemical is considered hazardous if it is likely to cause harm. Chemicals can have two types of hazards: physical and health
- Physical hazards are related to the way that a chemical interacts with other substances or the environment. A chemical that is physically hazardous can harm you by exploding, igniting, or reacting violently with other substances.
- Health hazards are related to the way that a chemical interacts with your body. If you are exposed to a chemical hazardous to your health, you could suffer short term injury or illness, long term damage, or even death.
In order for a chemical to harm you, you must be exposed to it. You can suffer a chemical exposure by any one of the following means.
- Eyes - Many chemicals can burn or irritate the eyes. In some cases, chemicals may be absorbed through the eyes and enter the bloodstream.
- Skin - Some chemicals can burn the skin. Other chemicals may pass through the skin unnoticed and enter the bloodstream.
Inhalation - The most common type of exposure occurs when chemicals are inhaled into the lungs. Inhaled chemicals may irritate your nose and throat, damage your lungs, or enter your bloodstream through your lungs.
Ingestion - You may ingest hazardous chemicals while smoking, eating (this includes chewing gum), or drinking. This is why NONE of these activities are permitted within the laboratory. After finishing with a hazardous chemical, remove your gloves and wash your hands. And, remember to ALWAYS wash your hands before leaving the lab to smoke, eat/drink, or use the restrooms.
Injection - Injection occurs if you are cut by a tool, instrument, or needle that has been contaminated with a chemical.
Exposures can result in either local and/or systemic effects. A local effect occurs when the chemical causes damage at the point where it first contacts the body, such as a burn caused by hydrochloric acid. A systemic effect occurs when the chemical enters the bloodstream and travels throughout the body, such as the cancer effects caused by benzene. The organs most commonly harmed include the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, and reproductive organs.
Every hazardous chemical has a Safety Data Sheet, or SDS, formerly known as a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). These sheets outline key information about the chemical and are organized into 16 sections. The 16 sections are identification, hazard(s) identification, composition, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accident release measures, handling and storage, personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicology information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information, and other information. It is YOUR responsibility to read these sheets BEFORE using the chemical and asking questions of your supervisor or Environmental Health and Safety if you do not understand something contained within the SDS.
The standard also requires that a list of hazardous chemicals be present in the lab and that the SDS for each chemical be available to the personnel working in that area at all times. These are often kept together in a binder alphabetically. OSHA also permits them to be saved on a computer, as long as that computer is accessible to all employees, including volunteers, at all times.
Lastly, the Hazard Communication Standard requires that all containers be labeled with
- product identifier-the product identifier on the label should match the one used on the SDS
- signal word- indicates the relative level of the hazard, i.e. "Danger" for more severe categories and "Warning" for less severe
- hazard statement(s)-are assigned to a hazard class and category to describe the nature and degree of the hazard For example,
- Fatal if swallowed
- Toxic if swallowed
- Harmful if swallowed
- May be harmful if swallowed
- pictogram(s)-there are nine Some are used for more than one class of hazard, and a label may contain more than one pictogram
- precautionary statement(s)-A phrase that describes recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical. Some examples are: 1) First Aid information, 2) "Keep away from heat," or 3) the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to wear.
- the name, address, telephone number of the manufacturer.
Stock bottles that come from the manufacturer will be labeled correctly. However, it is up to YOU to label any secondary containers used in the lab appropriately. For example, if you pour 100mls of alcohol into a 250ml bottle from the original stock bottle, it is now your responsibility to label the 250ml bottle to match the stock bottle.
Emergency Management
Please refer to Thomas Jefferson University's Internal Disaster Plan (Policy #199.40) located on the TJU Intranet for detailed information.
Bomb Threat - if you receive a call or letter indicating that there is a bomb on campus, STAY CALM. For a phone call, listen carefully and obtain as much information as you can (bomb location, when will it go off? bomb type?). Note the time of the call, caller's sex, voice characteristics, any background noises, and whether the call is internal or external. Proceed to call "811" and follow the instructions you will be provided.
Suspicious Package - If you receive a suspicious package, call "811" from a Jefferson phone. Do NOT use your cell phone to make this call, as that act could actually detonate the package. A suspicious package is defined as a package that contains an address label with missing or incorrect information and/or no return address, is lopsided, has a strange odor, is stained on the exterior, or has wires protruding from it (indicating a possible explosive device).
Internal/External Disasters - Remain calm and await instructions from Emergency personnel.
Spills - It is expected that you can handle small spills of biological and chemical materials. For large spills, cordon off and restrict access to the area, and call "811." Provide as much information as you can: what spilled, how much, was any one hurt, etc… Please don't leave the general area, so that the Emergency response personnel can talk to you prior to entering the area to clean up.
Accident Reporting
If you have any type of accident (a chemical or biological exposure or an overexertion injury as a result of moving a box) while on Jefferson's campus, notify your supervisor immediately. Your supervisor will complete an accident report and send you either to UHS if you have suffered a biological or chemical exposure or to HealthMark for a physical injury, such as an overexertion injury. If the accident or exposure occurs before or after regular business hours, please report to Jefferson's emergency room. After treatment has been provided, you will be asked to report to UHS or HealthMark the following business day.
Other Policies
There are many other policies that affect you as a volunteer on Jefferson's research team. Some of these policies are listed below. It is strongly suggested you read them before beginning your project at Jefferson as a volunteer.

Welcome to KrisNelscott.com
In the first week of the new decade, an emergency phone call shatters Chicago Private Detective Smokey Dalton's hopes for a good 1970. His adopted son Jimmy and Jimmy's best friend and cousin Keith Grimshaw need help.
Smokey arrives at a South Side hotel across from the boys' school in time to clean up a horrible mess, one the boys mostly solve on their own. But the boys' heroic actions echo across all of Chicago. Smokey finds himself standing alone against street gangs, the mob, and the Democratic Machine.
If he fights this battle and fails, he stands to lose not only Jimmy and their future together, but also his life.
"Easy comparisons can be made to Dave Robicheaux, Spenser, and Easy Rawlins, but Smokey is his own man. Women want to be near him and cook his dinner as he settles his nerves with three fingers of Scotch. A great read for fans of detectives guarding an inner city's grimy streets." —Library Journal
"Dalton's hard won small victory vividly illustrates a turbulent period of our recent cultural history." —Publisher's Weekly
"… a gripping read that drags us deeper into [Smokey] Dalton's uneasy world." —Entertainment Weekly on War at Home
Acclaim for the Smokey Dalton Series
• Edgar Award nomination
• Shamus nomination for Best Private Eye Hardcover Novel
• Winner of two Spotted Owl Awards for Best Mystery by a Northwest Writer
• Oregon Book Award Nomination
Ebook available from your favorite ebook seller and trade paperback available from your favorite bookstore.
Praise for the Smokey Dalton Series
"Nelscott's series setting, in the turbulent late '60s, gives her books layers of issues of racism, class, and war, all of which still seem to remain sadly timely today." —Oregonian
"Nelscott has her own, very distinct voice, and her series creates its own deeply satisfying pleasures and cogent points." —Seattle Times
"Nelscott is good at conveying the edgy caution that blacks once brought to their movements among white society." —Houston Chronicle
"(A) crime writer deliberately taking chances." —Chicago Tribune
"It's not hard to draw parallels between Nelscott's PI Smokey Dalton and Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins, another secretive, canny black man trying to solve mysteries while circumspectly navigating the white world. But Dalton's no knock-off. (Would you label the hundreds of hard-boiled detectives who've appeared in Raymond Chandler's wake mere Marlow Xeroxes because they're white?) —Entertainment Weekly

Dubai Creek is a saltwater creek located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). It ends at Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Some sources say that the creek extended as far inland as Al Ain, and that the Ancient Greeks called it River Zara. Historically, the creek divided the city into two main sections – Deira and Bur Dubai. It was along the Bur Dubai creek area that members of the Bani Yas tribe first settled in the 19th century, establishing the Al Maktoum dynasty in the city.
In the early 20th century, the creek, though incapable then of supporting large scale transportation, served as a minor port for dhows coming as far away as India or East Africa. Although it impeded the entry of ships due to current flow, the creek remained an important element in establishing the commercial position of Dubai, being the only port or harbour in the city. Dubai's pearling industry, which formed the main sector of the city's economy, was based primarily on expeditions in the creek, prior to the invention of cultured pearls in the 1930s.

I'd like to wish Mick Jagger a happy 69th birthday by sharing one of the most electrifying rock 'n' roll moments in cinema: the "Memo From Turner" scene in Donald Cammell's mindbending masterpiece Performance.

Bilingual? No problems if you're not, the important sections here are Kenneth Anger's, where the Magus of American Cinema tells his story from Fireworks to Lucifer Rising, via Bobby Beausoleil, Mick Jagger and Aleister Crowley, in this rare interview with French television from 2003.
The Rolling Stones hanging out at Brian Jones' Courtfield Road apartment for an Italian news item, in January 1967. Jones tickles the ivories, Jagger smokes, and Richard lies in bed strumming his guitar. The Stones were about to release Between the Buttons, their 5th U.K. and 7th U.S. studio album, and the last produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. As was the practice back then, the U.S. version differed from the U.K. release with tracks replaced with the singles "Ruby Tuesday", and "Let's Spend the Night Together". The album was a glorious pop masterpiece, and contains the first hint of psychedelia ("Yesterday's Papers"), which The Stones would focus on with the next album Their Satanic Majesties Request, and Keith Richard's first lead vocal on "Something Happened to Me Yesterday".
Though this clip has been over-dubbed, it doesn't take away from its cultural importance, as it captures The Stones in a relaxed mood at the start of what would be one of their more difficult and controversial years. Within the year, Jagger and Richard were arrested, tried and sent to prison for drug possession. Jones suffered a similar fate, though escaped jail. Where their experience strengthened the bond between Jagger and Richard, it left the fragile Jones broken. Interesting then, to see from this clip, that Jones was the main focus and appeared to be the group's leader, what a difference 12 months would make.

Ossie Clark was a master cutter, who could run his hands over a figure and cut a dress to fit perfectly. He liked his dresses to lie next to the skin, nothing in between, capturing the wearer's form, beauty and shape. Clark's inspiration was dance, his idol was Nijinsky, and the movement, flow, and freedom of dance inspired his clothes to enhance the female form. At the height of his success, in the early 1970s, his clothes were worn by some of the world's most beautiful women - Ali MacGraw, Patti Boyd, Gala Mitchell, Twiggy and Elizabeth Taylor. His leather jackets were worn by Keith Richard, while he designed a jump suit for Mick Jagger to wear during The Stones Exile in Main Street Tour. His favorite model, the beautiful Gala Mitchell said in 1971:
"Usually I lack confidence, but when I wear Ossie's designs I know I'm beautiful and sexy. His clothes are like a play. I act to suit the mood of the dress. Fashion now is very sophisticated - as always Ossie had that feeling first."
The magic of Clark's fashion was the cut, the shape, the heart-tugging style, and the beautiful prints designed by wife Celia Birtwell. Together, Ossie and Celia brought a fabulous, ethereal beauty to fashion in the late 1960s, early 1970s, which has often been copied, but rarely equalled.
Here's a small selection of Ossie and Celia's fashions from German TV, circa 1969. Painting above David Hockney's Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy (1971).

In this footage shot by the Maysles brothers on December 6, 1969 for the film Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead wait for a helicopter on a pier in San Francisco to take them to the Altamont Speedway.
Jagger, in not so sympathetic devil-mode, foppishly preens and sashays like rock royalty, much to Jerry Garcia's amusement, while attempting to force an unyielding Charlie Watts to bestow a kiss upon a groupie's forehead. As Jagger continues to egg Watts on, Charlie responds with the classy retort "Love is much more of a deeper thing than that.. it is not flippant, to be thrown away on celluloid."
Later that day, the whip would come down.
This footage never appeared in the final cut of Gimme Shelter. It did eventually turn up on DVD as part of the Get Yer Ya Ya Yas Out boxset.
Michael Azerrad has written an insightful piece on The Gimme Shelter outtakes on his blog.
Well, it's certainly an improvement over some of the other outfits he wore that decade…
Although there is much debate about when the Rolling Stones "peaked" or what their last decent album was—I still loved Goat's Head Soup, thought It's Only Rock & Roll was okay and felt the same about Black & Blue. I drew the line at Some Girls. You may feel differently—having said that, music aside, what about Mick's clothes from about 1970 onward?
His fashions started going downhill a lot earlier than the music did.
For a guy who dressed so damned cool in the 60s, by the time this short live show was shot at London's famed Marquee Club in 1971, Jagger's much-vaunted fashion sense had clearly turned to shite. The guy who looked so spooky and satanic in the Uncle Sam top hat and cape get-up during the 1969 tour was now wearing a glittery mid-drift "top" with a sideways-cocked, multi-colored silk baseball cap???
Imagine what the rest of them thought when they realized they had to go onstage with this git dressed like this… It's a great set, Mick Jagger just looks like a bit of a dork here.

The recent News of the World 'phone hacking scandal wasn't the first time the red top used illicit means to obtain stories. Back in the swinging sixties, the paper regularly bartered with the police for information to use in its pages.
One of the News of the World's tip-offs to the cops led to the most infamous drugs trial of the twentieth century, where Mick Jagger, Keith Richard of The Rolling Stones, and art dealer Robert Fraser were imprisoned in an apparent attempt to destroy the band's corrupting influence over the nation's youth.
For the first time, the true story behind the arrests and trial is revealed by Simon Wells in his excellent book Butterfly on a Wheel: The Great Rolling Stones Drugs Bust. Wells' previous work includes books on The Beatles and The Stones, British Cinema and most recently, a powerful and disturbing biography of Charles Manson. In an exclusive interview with Dangerous Minds, Wells explained his interest in The Stones drugs bust:
'As a student of the 1960s it was perhaps inevitable that I would collide with the whole Redlands' issue at some point. Probably like anyone with a passing interest in the Stones, I first knew about it mainly from legend - the "Mars Bar", the fur rug, the "Butterfly On A Wheel" quote etc. However, like most of the events connected to the 1960s I was aware that there had to be a back story, and not what had been passed down into myth. This story proved to be no exception, and hopefully the facts are as sensational (if not more) than what has passed into mythology. Additionally, as a Sussexboy - I was familiar with the physical landscape of the story- so that was also attractive to me as well.'
Just after eight o'clock, on the evening of February 12 1967, the West Sussex police arrived at Keith Richards' home, Redlands. Inside, Keith and his guests - including Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, the gallery owner Robert Fraser, and "Acid King" David Schneiderman - shared in the quiet warmth of a day taking LSD. Relaxed, they listened to music, oblivious to the police gathering outside. The first intimation something was about to happen came when a face appeared, pressed against the window.
It must be a fan. Who else could it be? But Keith noticed it was a "little old lady". Strange kind of fan. If we ignore her. She'll go away.
Then it came, a loud, urgent banging on the front door. Robert Fraser quipped, "Don't answer. It must be tradesmen. Gentlemen ring up first." Marianne Faithfull whispered, "If we don't make any noise, if we're all really quiet, they'll go away." But they didn't.
When Richards opened the door, he was confronted by 18 police officers led by Police Chief Inspector Gordon Dinely, who presented Richards with a warrant to "search the premises and the persons in them, under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1965."
This then was the start to the infamous trial of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Robert Fraser.

Mick Jagger makes his TV debut with some sensible shoes.
Fashion designer Michael Fish created some of the most memorable outfits of the 1960s and 1970s, most famously the "men's dress" as worn by Mick Jagger and David Bowie. His designs were also graced the films Modesty Blaise and Performance.
Here is Mr Fish as he introduces a brief taster of his 1969 collection, from German TV's Aktuell.

Taken from the December 18 performance, this was broadcast as The World's Greatest Rock'n'Roll Party on pay-per-view and in closed circuit cinemas - the first use of pay-per-view for a music event.
It's interesting footage, inasmuch as it belies the backstage tales of excess most associated with the "World's Greatest Rock'n'Roll" band.

Intel has announced that it is to buy McAfee, the security software company, in a deal worth approximately $7.68 billion (£4.9 billion). The world's biggest chip company will purchase all of McAfee's common stock for $48 a share, in cash. McAfee will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, reporting into Intel's Software and Services Group.
Intel explained the move in a statement, saying that it would enable Intel to become a one-stop-shop for security hardware and software, making it better able to protect businesses and consumers. The company said that security was now as important internally to it as energy efficiency and connectivity, a move influenced by the reality of billions of devices connecting online.
"With the rapid expansion of growth across a vast array of Internet-connected devices, more and more of the elements of our lives have moved online," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and chief executive in a statement. "In the past, energy-efficient performance and connectivity have defined computing requirements. Looking forward, security will join those as a third pillar of what people demand from all computing experiences.
"The addition of McAfee products and technologies into the Intel computing portfolio brings us incredibly talented people with a track record of delivering security innovations, products and services that the industry and consumers trust to make connecting to the Internet safer and more secure," Otellini added.
"The cyber threat landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years, with millions of new threats appearing every month," added Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive of McAfee. "We believe this acquisition will result in our ability to deliver a safer, more secure and trusted Internet-enabled device experience."
The coming together is pretty much a done deal, save for McAfee shareholder approval and unspecified regulatory clearances, though we imagine these are formalities.

Let's talk moisturizer! It's that time of year where the weather really messes with your skin causing dryness, irritation, and breakouts. It's the worst! If you're breaking out like crazy it's because you're not moisturizing enough. Even if you think you are, you're not. What happens is that your skin gets so dry that nothing can come out of your pores causing you to breakout and even get those nasty underground zits that are sooo painful. I learned this from my girl Julie at Mirelle's Studio. She gave me a facial and she could barely do extractions because my skin was too dry. This is when I started to use a good moisturizer that got the job done. In about a month's time frame, my skin cleared. It's funny that something as simple as moisturizing can do the trick. I've tried countless creams, gels, and even eliminated certain foods from my diet. Who knew?!
This weather totally sucks but your skin doesn't have to. Below are my favorite moisturizers both drug store and high end brands. Have you tried any of them? What is your favorite moisturizer?

Adding a Second 4-piece to a Second Floor
We just bought a house with 4+1 bedrooms and only ONE BATHROOM.
Not good for 4 women in one house.
I wanted to know if its possible to add a second four piece (bath stall, sink, toilet) by tying it into the existing bathroom's 'stack' (that's the vent and drain system in the wall yes?)
We already know we can convert the wet bar in the basement relatively easily into a powder room in the future - we've heard its been done before (and we're hoping we're not just stupid people :P).
Could someone familiar with building code (hopefully in ontario,canada?) give me some feedback on this plan? The worst case scenario would be to find a way to add another 'stack' I guess, but since the bathroom being added to the master bedroom is so close to the existing - we were kind of hoping it was possible to use what has already been put in.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
With the info you've given us, I'd guess yes, you can. More details are necessary.
It's possible to tie in to an existing stack, but, without additional details it's difficult to provide a definitive yes/no for your situation. You are going to need building permits to do what you want to do and your architect should be able to help you determine if a) your house will support a bathroom on the second floor as is, and b) if you can use the existing stack.
(I'm from Ontario!)
Neat. The place we want to convert is actually one of the two walkins on an exterior wall of a detached house. I suppose the floor would need possible modification to makethe subfloor strong enough for tile - but apparently the side wall on the closet is connected to the bathtub-wall of the four piece. We are replacing an old roof - which would give us the ability to add a vent to the existing bathroom as well as easy access to the plumbing vent up to the roof.
The house is about 40 years old now, but wow. I really hope you guys are right about being to tie into the existing :3 would make my mom so happy! I've seen it done on TV - but I don't trust that kind of 'reality'
Besides modifying the subfloor, there should be an assessment to see if the existing structure can support the weight of a bathroom (shouldn't be an issue, but, has to be assessed) and if not what has to be done. All that should be done during the permit application process.

Hey All,
I am hoping this helps someone who wants to do what I just did.
I have had my 08 WRX sedan for 2 weeks today. I love fog lights (they're great in the blizzards here!) and wanted the factory kit... but $300ish for parts only? No way.
I discovered that the OEM kit consists of the lights, fasteners, new turn signal arm, and a relay. Here's what I bought:
-Relay from dealer: $13
-OEM lights new on eBay: $73 each
-used turn signal arm w/ fog switch: $35 (eBay)
-fasteners from hardware store: $4
-$198 total
The fasteners required were 2 M6 bolts w/ washers (stainless), and 4 push-in body panel connectors. There were 2 sizes required, since the fog light holes were of different diameters.
As far as the install, I found a handy scan of the OEM instructions online somewhere- but it wanted you to remove the front bumper cover! I didn't remove the cover, or even jack up the car. With a little creative contortion, I was able to get them in by only removing 3 panel fasteners on each side (the first 2 in front of each wheel, and one on the bottom of the bumper cover's L and R edges). The hardest part was finding the fog light wires. FYI, mine were folded and taped up out of the way with blue electrical tape. The passenger side wire was easy to see in through the fog light hole, but the driver's side wire was more toward the front grille- hard to find and harder to reach. All told, it probably took me 30 minutes total for the 2 lights and about the same for the turn signal stalk. I have not tested them yet as the relay I ordered from the dealer won't be here until tomorrow- but I'm pretty confident it'll all work out. [UPDATE 7/7/11: just picked up the relay, installed in a couple minutes or so, and all works great.] I am so glad that the wiring is installed even on cars without FLs.
I hope this helps somebody; no reason to tear that bumper cover off!

'Lion King,' 'Wicked' top box office in 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway's highest-grossing show in 2013 wasn't a new strutting musical or a bawdy one or even one with a big star. The crown goes to a regal but gray-maned performer — "The Lion King," now in its 16th year. And another veteran turned heads when "Wicked" recorded Broadway's highest single-week gross ever.
The old-timers are going just fine, end-of-year-data from the Broadway League released Monday showed. The 10-year-old "Wicked" earned a staggering $3.2 million over nine performances for the week ending Sunday, the first time a show has ever crossed the $3 million mark in a single week. Another pro, Elton John and Tim Rice's "The Lion King," ruled all other shows during the entire calendar year, ending with nearly $97 million, despite the fact that there are five bigger theaters on Broadway. For good measure, the show pulled in $2.8 million over nine performances last week, a theater record.
Several other shows — including current Tony winner "Kinky Boots," the 2011 Tony winner "The Book of Mormon," the new acrobatic revival of "Pippin," the sizzling "Betrayal" and the veteran "Chicago" — all finished 2013 with box office records.The win for "The Lion King" is just the latest accolade for the show. This year it became the first Broadway show to earn $1 billion, and last year it swiped the title of Broadway's all-time highest-grossing show from "The Phantom of the Opera."
It is the fourth-longest-running Broadway show, behind only "Chicago," "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera."

The chief executive of his Web Foundation helped to explain the conflict of emotions.
Still, George has steadfastly controlled his emotions as the most painful questions have been asked.
But those women—and men—had the decency to struggle with their emotions versus their code of conduct.
The Romney campaign wooed those voters by deferring to some of their emotions.
Phillips contends that the emotions are worse this time around.
He had come of a people which had to do with essentials in the matter of emotions.
For a long time he sat, too exhausted by his emotions to think.
But he was Spanish enough in the expression of his emotions.
There were no resources for them in emotions of valour or patriotism.
In the present instance, however, he showed but imperfect control of his emotions.

Eyeing bigger sales, some U.S. restaurants go small
By Lisa Baertlein
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc, known for its premium-priced burritos using meat from naturally raised animals, is testing a "Low Roller Menu" and other downsized, lower-priced selections to boost traffic.
The move from the upscale quick-serve chain comes as restaurants such as Outback Steakhouse, T.G.I. Fridays and Quiznos use similar tactics to tempt penny-pinching consumers, who are spending less on meals away from home amid the worst U.S. recession in decades.
Chipotle, which until only recently could raise prices with relatively little resistance from customers, is testing the new menu in Denver-area restaurants. It features "Low Roller" items such as single tacos and soup and salad sides, a kids' menu and new additions such as Chicken Pozole soup and a Carnitavore burrito bowl.
Company founder and Chief Executive Steve Ells said the menu highlights variety "while still making great food affordable and accessible."
Analysts say the move, which was preceded by successful promotions such as T.G.I. Fridays' "Right Portion, Right Price" menu, attacks on two levels. It targets cash-strapped consumers who might need lower prices to justify a visit to a sit-down restaurant, as well as diners such as Baby Boomers and women who are looking for smaller portions.
"It's a strategy born of necessity," said Bob Goldin, executive vice president at restaurant consulting firm Technomic.
The Cheesecake Factory Inc, which like Chipotle is known for ample portions, has unveiled a 16-item small plate menu with offerings such as Hand-Battered Onion Rings and Ahi Tartare priced from $3.95 to $6.50. Continued...

Very cool - first research-grade Mink Frog obs on iNat! Will you add it to the Global Amphibian Bioblitz project?

mike lee
Spades & Hearts DOWN! Just loads the ad page with the word LOADING and the dreaded circle and the game loads in the background but the ad won't DO ANYTHING!!!! HELP, been like that for one full day now!
can't play spades for 2 days. It won't load
I seem to access the initial page but it won't load the video content just buffers. Frustrating!
zone hearts won't load!
If you are actually able to play ANY game all the way through to the end, it is a GODDAM MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is a plug in? I am being asked to add one in order to play Just words. I never had to do that before. How do I add it?
Freezing, slow loading..I wont play anymore
its been down for me for days any particular reason?
ever since msn change game web page, nuttin works, or very seldom, old saying, if it aint broke, dont fix it !!!!!wish all you hot shot sights, companies would just leave well enough alone, sheesh....just saying.....
Every time I sine in,I get an ERROR page
Just noticed that this site is identifying the Edge browser I am using as a version of Chrome. Interesting. Did MS do some "intellectual property" stealing from Chrome, or is Edge so screwed up that none of the sites really know what they are dealing with?!?
So glad that MS redesigned their game site a couple of weeks ago to modernize the appearance and to make it compatible with modern browsers, aren't you? Ever since then I have been having the same problems as everyone else - "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." error messages, blank pages when trying to return to a game. This happens whether I am using Edge or the latest version of IE. Today I can't even access the site, goes immediately to the Error 503 message.
all I would like to know is WHEN IS MSN GOING TO FIX IT.
I love my morning routine of msn free games which are not the same as download games
Well I can see I am not alone. Have been having trouble with this site for several days. Does anyone know if if they plan on fixing it or not??
Fix the problem. It's very annoying to get the error message. When trying again and finally it works and play a game it stops working.
Microsoft is just plain crap now. Windows 10 is a bomb, and so is their "new and improved" game page. What a joke. If they hope to continue to compete with Apple, they'd better get their shit together and hire a new IT team.
For three weeks the backgammon games disconnects at random times.....
I get half way throiugh a game of Just Words and the game vanishes!!
advertizements don't load stalls the game and then whole game is aborted. Whats with this new site worse than the last one you generated. Can't even play thru on one game.
games stall half way thru play white blanks keep coming up blocking the play screen new site is terrible!!!!
HTTP 503 ERROR site unavailable keeps coming up
What the heck is going on with msn games? I've been having problems for the past two weeks. In the middle of games a white blank page comes up.
After a while playing a game it stops working. This has been going on since the change. Please fix it.
just words won't complete a game or you can't access at all
Chosen games will not load or stalls part way through
I can get all the way to sign in but the game will not load
Internet-Backgammon continues to be more broken, and not simply working. This is ridiculous that Microsoft cannot keep it running simply. Playing in Expert mode on Windows 7 is a crap shoot each time trying to connect. Most times it fails or most times the game or match stops in mid play. Terrible.
I play a level of Cubis or Majong Tiles and the next level or replay won't load. I get an upside down i symbol and on Cubis, the computer freezes!
cant get on backgammon
Can not sign in msn games Getting a blank page
Nine times out of ten spades will not load. Why? This is consistant, not a one time shot. Getting sick of it. MSN, you should, and can, do better than this. Your service in this department stinks. Complaints seem to fall on deaf ears. Hearts and free cell which I also play seem to be o.k.
How many reports on SPADES do you need? Here's one more for good measure. We are tired. Fix what you have before adding more stuff
most troublesome game spot ever up down and cut offs and slow load times when you can play especially SPADES WTH?
Well Msn have managed to cock up checkers completely now , if i manage to get a game started it cuts out after a few moves,,,its obvious that MSN want to get rid of it
Backgammon problems for 3 days. Game disconnects randomly after you begin playing.
Dear MSN... YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is Backgammon down so much MSN?
msn has been down for 2 days and counting. why???
Backgammon down on home computer since mid November. Started using my old laptop and it worked fine until January 12, 2016. Now I continue to get error message.
Whats up with Back Gammon?
as far as i am concerned about backgammone, it was very fine since 13th Jan 2016 but today it is not working at all.
M$N games is transforming where eventually all the games will ONLY play on WIN 10.
Let's face it, M$N is forcing us to upgrade to Win 10.
Problem is enless you do a fresh install of WIN10 from a blank hard drive you will get a BSOD/Blue Screen Of Death due to a many applications that are not compatible with WIN 10. Which will co$t you more $$$.
Do you see the pattern??
trying to play bookworm, can not get the game to load. What is going on? Also, where is zone.msn.com/games?
I hope whoever is responsible for this dies choking on their own or (preferably) someone else's poop!!!! I WANT MY INTERNET SPADES BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have found out that MSN.COM has retired the version of Backgammon, Spades, and Checkers on Windows 7 and possibly higher as of October 2015. They now have other versions of the games. Check this out. http://zone.msn.com/en/general/article/genmultiplayermadness.htm
Microsoft internet spades isn't working.
It will not load.
This is my last time with anything "Microsoft" I am purchasing an "Apple".
4 days now and still no connection to server
Internet spades and backgammon have been down for 3 going on 4 days now. What's wrong? EXTREMELY IRRITATING!!!
Bloody MSN, do you at all care about your users? I am sure as hell you don't! (Backgammon unaccessible for three days now)
Its bloody msn ,, they do what they want ,,it is forever not working
Don't anyone knows an alternate gaming site since MSN Sucks
Why take down the old games when you don't have the new games to replace them....Spades, Hearts, Backgammon, etc....nothing works
Half the time it is not working. It will go for months without being able to play then for some reason it will start working again.... so it is not a PC problem... it has to be something wrong with their server.
msn sucks!
Same thing with Hearts .. I seem to be watching a lot of television at the moment.
I have not been able to play spades for over a week now.
MSN games it's over hearts loads and crashes, backgammon simply doesn't work! Pushing everyone to Win 10? :(
When is the new Spades going to be up and running? I am unable to get to the Spades Game.
bullshit it is "up and reachable"
Just some info for MSN game players -
The current versions of our multiplayer games are no longer supported as of October 1, 2015. We are adding a series of new multiplayer games in the coming weeks.
The new games will include the following, with additional multiplayer games coming online later this year:
Gin Rummy
Oklahoma Gin
Pool at the Lucky Break: 8-Ball
Pool at the Lucky Break: 9-Ball
Wahoo: The Marble Board Game
We will announce the new games on the MSN Games home page when they are live. Good luck!

South Africa is leading the way in
launching mobile health (mHealth) services with some of the most
successful and best known mHealth initiatives having been developed
in this country. This is according to Andrea Monteiro, director of
Mobile Health Africa, which will gather the leading minds in the
industry in Johannesburg in May.
Africa suffers more than 24% of the
global burden of disease, says Andrea, but has an average of
only two doctors per 10,000 people a shocking statistic. It means
that providing the majority of people in Africa with healthcare is a
major challenge. She says the evolution of mHealth services in
Africa is enabling the drastic improvement of the healthcare
infrastructure: In its most basic form it will provide access to
healthcare advice and information even in the most remote parts
According to the Mobile Health Africa
director, South Africa represents the ideal platform for the
deployment and evolution of mHealth services. She explains: The
country has a brilliant telecoms infrastructure, both in terms of
service provisioning and technology and is home to several
entrepreneurial NGOs currently investing in mobile technologies. On a
social level, mobile penetration rates are very high, and other
mobile services such as mobile money/mobile banking are already well
established and used successfully on a day-to-day basis.
The objective is to
evolve pilots to successful live mHealth deployments. Mobile Health

Washington, D.C. -- Slower-than-expected growth during the first half of the year caused the National Retail Federation to lower its retail sales forecast for 2014. NRF said it now expects sales will grow 3.6% in 2014, down from its earlier forecast of 4.1%. The group joined other industry experts in forecasting a pick-up in activity in the next five months.
"The severe weather and other factors we experienced earlier this year have taken their toll on retail, but most of those problems are behind us," said NRF chief economist Jack Kleinhenz. "A second look at our forecast shifted our expectations slightly, but it's important to note that the outlook is positive. Sales are growing and we expect them to continue at a moderate pace."
NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay said that no retailer was immune to the doldrums witnessed during the first quarter.
"That said, there is plenty of evidence that the second half of the year will be better for the industry as consumers begin to feel more optimistic about their spending decisions," Shay said. "And though we maintain realistic expectations of retail sales growth in 2014, we are optimistic that the chances for a stronger economy still exist."
During a conference call with reporters and analysts, the NRF noted that poor weather conditions in many areas of the country during the first quarter helped to create a more difficult sales environment than anticipated.
NRF also said the slow recovery following the recession continues to weigh on the job market and business spending. Consumers remain modest spenders and are selective and price sensitive.
Despite these and other challenges, "the positive message is how strongly we feel the second half of the year will be," Shay said.
NRF chief economist Kleinhenz noted that employment during the first six months of this year has expanded at its strongest pace since 2005, and that business and consumer confidence have edged higher.
NRF calculated that sales grew 2.9% during the first half of the year and will grow at least 3.9% during the second half. (The numbers include general retail sales and non-store sales, and exclude automobiles, gasoline stations, and restaurants.)

A few weeks ago I bought a new Impala LTZ. I just took it for a trip to CA for the holidays. So, I left when it was still dark. I noticed that the headlights and dash lights were noticably flickering. I thought is was maybe because I had my cell phone plugged in or something. Anyway, what I finally discovered is when the engine goes into 3 cyln mode, the lights flicker and continue to flicker as long as it stays in 3 cyln mode. As soon as it goes back to 6 cyln mode, they stop flickering.
Any of you 07 Impala 3.9L owners have this problem? Any of you techs heard of this? This cannot be a normal thing. Looks like I'm headed for a trip to the service department.

One of the most enjoyable things for me about collecting ephemera (and using it in my art) is finding unusual items. I love it when I find something for sale (or on those rare occasions, literally finding something) and neither I nor the seller knows what it is, but we all know that it's cool.
I happened upon just such an item last week! Maybe one of you, my wonderful readers, can help me out with this? I honestly have no idea what it is.
I have some guesses, of course - that's half the fun! I was thinking that it's a gauge of some sort; perhaps it's a measure of lines of type? It may look like paper, but it's a very thin, vintage plastic (the melamine kind). Judging by the back, it was stuck on something for a long time. There are even tiny nail holes, so I'm guessing it was meant to be seen often.
It starts out in 1/8 (rounded) increments, as you can see. Further up the line, starting at the 2, it goes to 1/4 increments. Starting at the 4, it goes to half-increments, until finally at the 14 it goes every 2 numbers up to 20.
I also LOVE the font! It doesn't look like Pica or Elite, but some other typewriter font of 50-60 years ago. I can't tell if someone actually took the time to type this or if it came this way, but it's nicely embossed.
Whatever it is, I'm glad it exists! This could've been thrown out SO easily, when an office closed or when the place updated to computers. Instead, it probably languished in the back of a filing cabinet or drawer for decades before my friends at Silver Crow Creations found it! Now it's mine! And that makes me happy. :D
P.S. We're getting clooooserrrr!!! You must be telling your friends about our AWESOME giveaway, coming up when we hit the 500 mark on Facebook! Tell your friends to "like" the page so that we can get this baby rollin'! :D

HOW TO Calculate your tank lighting (in LSI)
My tank is 48x12x20 (approximate)
If it's not based on lumens or watts and surface area etc what is it based on?
Do I think you wasted your money on that light source? No. All light sources that give you adequate light (and that have a nice professional form factor) are going to be expensive. I spent $600 on three 24" TrueLumen Pro LED strips for a 20 gal aquarium. I liked their slim form factor, but it took three of them to give me the light coverage I was looking for. The unit you bought looks to use more and higher wattage LEDs compared to my TrueLumen Pro strips.
Although I think those calculation-style efforts are interesting, in the link you referenced, I think they muddy the waters and still only provide a gross estimate - if that. Ultimately, what you want to know is the PAR: which stand for "Photosynthetically Active Radiation" and describes how much of the available light contributes directly to photosynthesis. There are meters to measure this directly and they are used in greenhouse, commercial, and scientific applications. The meters run about $379 (from Apogee Instruments, MQ-200 Quantum) for the type that would be useful to you.
Many may think that you use the meter once when you get your light source and then put it away in a drawer. But I use it quite actively during the evolution of a tank, especially as the plants grown in and begin to shadow each other, and also as the light source ages. Also, I've found that my LED dimmer doesn't always come back on to the same light level. So, every week during routine maintenance, I use it to validate my target. It's also extremely useful when putting together DIY lighting or building your own hood, etc. Using the meter, you can choose to use ANY light source technology and you don't have to know a thing about it, just measure the PAR. Measuring PAR takes out all the variables such as internal tank reflection, hood design, water absorption, surface reflection, bulb efficiency, and on and on… With a waterproof probe, you measure PAR at the plants in the water or at the substrate… this will be very different than a dry reading.
Back when everyone was using primarily standard linear fluorescent tubes, they implemented the "watts per gallon" rule as a method of targeting your light. That may have worked at the time as a rule of thumb because everyone was using a similar lighting technology and it was fairly predictable. But nowadays, there are at least 6-10 different technologies and they all produce different photosynthetic light (and waste heat) for a given wattage; and reflector design plays a huge role for tube or bulb style light sources. LEDs are relatively new on the mass market scene and they come in so many form factors that's its really difficult to gauge how much PAR they will produce.
Many of these LED fixtures are designed for reef aquariums. And these can be too strong for low-light planted aquariums. But building a dimmer, or raising the light, or filtering it with a neutral density filter will take care of that.
In PAR terms, a good target for your beginner planted tank would be 50-70 PAR measured at the substrate. Will your light source produce this over the entire tank? I don't know… it has to be measured to be sure. If you get lower than 40 PAR however, then in your non-CO2 tank you'd be co-limiting both light and CO2 which is not good. Keep in mind that the PAR levels I'm suggesting are for "thriving" plants, not "surviving" plants. You can keep a plant at it's light compensation point where it only gets enough light to offset the energy it uses to photosynthesize and you'd get zero net growth… This is "surviving". By contrast, a plant that actively grows, produces new leaves, fights off disease, and reproduces is "thriving". As an example, 20-40 PAR might be sufficient for mosses, pelia, ferns and anubias, but not for many other plants. The carpeting plants like HC and glosso require higher levels of light, around 65-70 PAR, to grow compact and horizontal. Plants that turn red, may only do so with even higher levels of PAR, around 90-120 PAR. But again, a general good range for a broad cross-section of plants is 50-70 PAR.

It probably would be better to add a cross-tank flow in addition to your HOB filters. The goal is to make sure that you don't have any "dead spots" in your tank. It will be come even more challenging as your plants grown in and hinder the water flow. To that effect, it may be good in a long tank to have a power head at each end of the tank. Side-mounted impellers similar to the Vortech MP series work really well too. Vortech's themselves are very pricey but are worth every penny. I guess the word of caution here is to not create so much flow that it taxes your fish!

Flooring mishap...what do I do?
I'm replacing my wood flooring with tile. I already have part of my house tiled and wanted to tile the rest of it to match. FCA came and checked on what I had, told me they had the same tile in stock and could match it then came out and ripped out all the existing flooring in preparation for this tile. Turns out the tile they have does NOT match and they can't find it. What are my options? Are they required now to come up with a repair scenario that I will not be obligated to pay for such as: replacing all the wood flooring they ripped up OR replacing ALL the tile with a style that will be consistent throughout my house OR am I out of luck and have to find an attorney?
I give up who's FCA?
Look on the box and get the make and model off of it and Google it.
May get lucky and find some.
Sorry, it's a local flooring company. We did use the existing tile information as a reference but the company, apparently, made a mistake when referencing it as they've been unable now to find a match anywhere.
Styles change and every run of tile is a bit different than the last one----
I believe you were hoping for the impossible---tile setters always check that all boxes are from the same lot----hoping for a match after a while---sorry ,but that's very unlikely to ever happen--
FCA?---I don't think calling a lawyer is going to be much use---how can you hold someone responsible for having something available that you have not yet purchased--
Part of the issue (which I failed to explain that well) is that they originally said they had the tile from the same lot and that it was a match. When they got ready to install it, they discovered they were wrong and it wasn't the same lot. I guess what I'm getting to is wondering what, if any, responsibility they may have in correcting this situation. They proceeded with their assumption and ripped out all of my other flooring in preparation for the tile they said matched. What do I do about getting that fixed?
That's a very different situation-----
They should make that right----ask if they have enough to do the entire floor---then suggest that they do the whole shot on their own---at their expense----
Sorry I did not understand the situation----you are right-----some time a compromise is needed--so see what they say----
did they check to see that the tile matched before they tore the old floor out?
How long after the first tiles were installed did this happen? I have this feeling that they never had the matching tiles. Just a hunch.
The existing tile flooring was done 2 years ago so it would have been a stretch to match even the same lot but they assured me it would work and was the same. I thought it was iffy given the time that had elapsed. I'm hoping they come back and suggest what was mentioned in an earlier post, that they offer to do the entire floor with a new tile (replacing what's there already at their expense, I'm happy to pay for all the new tiling and labor but not to replace what's already there given the mishap).
And no, they didn't check the tile before they tore out the floor although I thought they did. Turns out they didn't.

The primary benefit of this integration is that the Effect Controls palette is now always available, although it has been renamed Properties. This changes its contents with context, and in Edit mode includes the Motion and Opacity controls as before. But Image controls have also been added, giving you access to brightness, contrast, hue and saturation controls without the need to add a specific filter. The Opacity section also adds quick fade in/out tools, and Motion the ability to rotate footage back to landscape which was shot in portrait mode, for example using a mobile phone.
The capture applet is now integrated into the main application interface, and supports DV capture from USB 2.0 camcorders as well as via FireWire.
Continuing the theme of integration, the capture applet is now part of the interface rather than a pop-up window. The range of supported editing formats has increased greatly, but the capture applet still only works with DV camcorders, although it can now capture DV over USB 2.0 as well with the appropriate driver. To acquire other file formats, a new Media Downloader applet has been added. This can import clips from optical disc and USB 2.0-attached cameras. You can bring in 3GPP and 3GPP2 files, ASF, MPEG-1, 2 and 4. Most gratifyingly, the MOD files used by the JVC Everio camcorders can now be used directly. However, one format is notable by its absence - HDV. With the just-released Pinnacle Studio 10 supporting high definition editing, this could be an omission Adobe will live to regret if HD camcorders fall any further in price (see our review of Sony's groundbreaking HDR-HC1E).
The core functions of the program haven't changed radically, but they're now much more friendly for the novice. Effect filters and transitions come with a picon to help you work out what they do, and you can group the ones you use often into a favourites section. Separate buttons help you find each category of effects. A new addition is the project archiver and copier, which will transfer everything you need to recreate the edit on a new system. The media is copied to a separate folder, which you can then burn to disc or copy to a removable drive.

Well, holiday (Christmas, Hannukah, etc.) preparations are in full swing up here! It's looking to be quite the jolly celebration. I am fully enjoying myself and indulging on cookies, nog, and gingerbread!
I do hope Santa brings you everything on your wish lists. I'll try to put a good word in for you. BOL! I'll be sure to sprinkle some angel dust on all of my furiends to help you be good until Santa comes!
Chauncey's hu-sis/typist here...
All went as well as it could on Tuesday. I made sure to get to my parents' house before they left so I could say my good-byes. Myles gave her a pet or two, too. Dad broke up a hot dog for her as her final meal (had to be something easy to chew) and she gobbled it up. I was able to get one last picture of her. My parents both went to the vet office and she passed in less than five minutes. She is buried out at the shack on a point with a beautiful view of the lake.
We miss her so much, and probably always will. While I haven't lived at my parents' house for many years, Chauncey was my childhood dog. I remember the day we picked her out of her litter - I was ten years old and so excited to be getting a puppy. The owners of the dogs were calling her Creampuff and she was adorable. The thing that I remember most vividly was her going into my room whenever no one was paying attention and eating the plastic noses off of my stuffed animals.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness, love, and support. I have decided to admit defeat on the individual thank yous at this point - I'm not even sure who I thanked already! Please know how much my family appreciates your gifts and kind words. My mom checks Chauncey's page and I send on your pmails to her.
I know Chauncey was met by so many of her angel friends: Lexi, Leo, Cody, Maggie, Dino, and many, many, many more. Your furiendship means the world and I trust you are showing her a good time. (Lexi, don't fly her so fast you google her eyes like Al's!) All I can say is that I am still so grateful to the friends we have made on Dogster/Catster. I started Al and Chauncey's pages on here as something fun to do, but this community has bred so many friendships and made such a positive difference to me. Thank you all!
Our family has been getting so much love and support from Dogster/Catster. We love you all so much and appreciate the pmails, gifts, posts, candles, and prayers you are sending. Hu-sis is trying to keep up with replies and thank yous, but if you don't get one right away, please know how thankful we are.
As most of you know, hu-sis is my typist, and she has been sending all of your messages to my mom. She is having a hard time with the decision, but knows it's my time. She called the dogtor yesterday, and I will probably make my journey Tuesday afternoon. Dad has my final resting place ready out at the shack with other dogs from our family. It has a beautiful view of the lake.
Again, please know of our love and gratitude for all of our furiends, new and old, we have made here.

I really enjoyed this book. I've never had much interest in biographies but this was well written and extremely informative. I had a lot of misconceptions about Geronimo. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
This was no wheres near anything I thought it would be like. I think anyone who knows anything about the history could have written a book equal to this. I would not recomend this book.
