Memorial Day weekend has always been a big time in Greensburg, and the May 4 tornado won't change that.
Neither will the people attending the town's annual rodeo and high school reunion go hungry, thanks to some barbecue aficionados from around the state and region.
About 20 people involved in barbecue cooking competitions were expected to arrive in Greensburg Friday night and this morning. They plan 3,000 meals.
Leading the effort is Ken Johnson of Topeka, who was driving back from a barbecue competition in Missouri with his wife when news of the tornado came over the radio.
"My wife said 'There's got to be something we can do for them,' " Johnson said. "All of a sudden I thought, let's go cook for them."
Johnson suggested the idea on a Web site visited by fellow cookers and it quickly gathered momentum. Cargill donated 1,000 pounds of beef, and cooks from Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma volunteered to prepare it on four large smokers being brought to the town. Another 80 pounds of pork loin will also be prepared.
"We'll work in shifts, some cooking, some slicing and dicing," said Keri Cathey, a cookoff competitor from Broken Arrow, Okla., who's coming to Greensburg. She'll camp near the smokers.
Asked how the often competitive and secretive cooks will decide whose recipe to use, Catchy said, "You know, I don't know how they're going to work that out."
The barbecuers are just some of the many groups, individuals and private companies that have helped feed Greensburg residents and the aid workers helping them. Schwan's Foods is expected to hand out ice cream today, and Blue Bunny has promised to do the same soon.
"It (help) is coming from places all over the United States," said Dee Smith of the Salvation Army.
Johnson hopes a good dinner helps lift the spirits of Greensburg residents, with whom he feels a strong link. He survived the 1966 tornado that hit Topeka.
"I can remember coming up from the basement and not finding anything," he said.

This travel info-graphic looks at US Travel Safety by airplane, car/truck, bus, motorcycle and other forms of transit. There sometimes are misconceptions about the safety, or lack of safety in each of those different methods of travel so the hope is to perhaps dispel some of those misconceptions.
A common misconceptions about flying that this info-graphic dispels is the fact that travel by air is only 7 times safer than driving in terms of the percentage of fatal accidents per mile traveled. Most traveler believe flying to be 100 or 1000s of times safer then traveling by motor vehicle however when you factor in the fatalities that result from small planes and commercial planes, it's only 700% safer than flying.
Another statistic that may surprise some is the number of miles that the average American travels each year by plane, motorcycle, bus, car, truck or public transit such as train or rail. 15,911 miles seems a bit high but the statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration prove otherwise.
The infographic was researched using US census statistics from 2009 as well as stats from the NTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
This infographic was created for Austin Personal Injury Lawyer Zinda & Davis PLLC. Their aim is to raise awareness of the hazards of travel while educating people about transportation safety in the United States.

So that's it then? David Cameron has achieved his breakthrough in the first head-to-head test of electoral strength with Gordon Brown.
Unless Ken Livingstone knows something the rest of us don't know about yesterday's high turnout in London, Labour looks as if it has been pretty comprehensively stuffed.
All this on a day when Tony Blair gets into Time magazine's top 100 global movers and shakers. Oh dear, that will deepen this morning's scowl.
But don't bet the pension quite yet. The overnight BBC figures which we watched just before 2am still stand. These are always slightly artificial statistics, but perception matters: Tories 44%; Lib Dems 25%; Labour 24%.
Tory net gains so far 146; Labour net losses 163; Lib Dems net gains 11 - which must be a mighty relief to Nick Clegg at a difficult juncture for him too. Capturing Hull - Prescott country - provided an early boost.
No such consolation for Gordon Brown? However, it remains possible that Labour will claw back second place, as happened in 2005 after the BBC initially put Labour third. It's a detail, but the small print can be important.
Thus the Tories took Erdington - a swing ward just north of Birmingham's Spaghetti Junction - which I visited during the campaign.
That's one way of telling ministers that the white working class - core labour voters - are hacked off by the credit crunch and other factors yet to be analysed. Immigration too, murmur some Brummie politicians.
Bad results in Wales and southern England, offset by some net Labour gains, in Oxford, Ipswich, Liverpool and elsewhere.
Better in the north, where a lost ward matters more than it does in the more fragile Labour south. Despite five Labour gains in Liverpool, the Lib Dems hung on to power against expectation - including mine - by acquiring an overnight defector.
That's politics. Exactly how did the Tories do in the north? I'm still trying to work that out, but in places like Bury better than Labour expected. Not so well elsewhere. The detailed picture may prove patchier. But perception is (nearly) all.
Brown will not rush to reshuffle his cabinet. Perhaps he should, but it is not obvious what sparkling improvements he could make and it is never a smart move if it looks like panic.
He has asked his ministers to come up with new ideas and they are already promising to listen and learn from voters. "We didn't react early enough" to the 10p tax problem, a slightly contrite Harriet Harman conceded on the radio.
She also admitted that London is not expected to provide a very different result from anywhere else.
So the task of reconstructing a coherent sense of purpose and direction becomes harder, though not impossible.
Cheerful Eric Pickles, ex-leader of Bradford council, now Cameroon local government spokesman (and hammer of the BNP when opportunity allows), made a wounding remark when he observed this morning that the Labour government seems to be "coming to the end of its natural life", running out of energy and ideas.
Well, that's what happens in the political cycle, as in nature: death and renewal. If that perception takes hold they're finished.
Today's Guardian reports a 33-vote backbench revolt over renewable energy policy, as Shell backs out of a major commitment and the Greens nearly took Norwich city council.
Politics are now "more fluid", Clegg told radio listeners. Indeed they are, but a rampant Tory party may make it harder for Clegg's marauders to live off the land.
Labour was also pummelled in Wales (its Plaid Cymru partners in government too?), where the Tories have been marginalised for years.
Anyone with an interest in maintaining the union must welcome the revival of all-UK parties on the Celtic fringe as well as the Anglo-Saxon fringe.
So that must be in the wider national interest. For soon-to-retire first minister Rhodri Morgan this is a tricky result. He was an outspoken Brownite when Blair was deemed to be the problem.
Labour entered these elections with fewer councillors than at any time since 1977, the year after Jim Callaghan took over as PM from Harold Wilson - and lost his slim Commons majority - at a time when the then-new Tory leader, Margaret Thatcher, was getting into her stride.
Labour lost power two years later, just as John Major lost power two years after new boy Blair gave him a serious seeing to in the local elections of 1995.
If these results turn out to be the worst for Labour since 1968 then the same pattern is visible.
The cabinet, wider government and the parliamentary Labour party were a talented but indisciplined rabble by comparison with today's well-marshalled cohorts.
Just open Richard Crossman's diaries at any page to check that simple proposition.
In any case, there will be protests in the coming days, but hopes of a serious plot, let alone a coup against Brown, will not materialise. Gordon is their destiny - for better or for worse.
"It's not been a great night, it's a wake-up call. People are angry. We have to find the underlying causes of this discontent and do something about it," says one grassroots Middle England MP.
In politics, hope has to spring eternal to keep them going. For the Tories this must be the cheeriest day in a very long time.
For the Lib Dems and Labour it's time to panic quietly and get stuck in. I wonder if Ken Livingstone is up yet, whether he's been walking the kids to school and looking forward to the rest of his life. It won't be so bad, Ken. You'll probably enjoy it. Tony Blair seems to be having fun.

Child psychologist and parenting expert Tovah P. Klein, Ph.D., gives insight to toddlers and how they thrive by giving us a toddler's view of the world, as well as tips for calming a public tantrum.
Let her get bored! Who cares if he never finishes dinner? And who says he has to share his toys, anyway? A refreshing new look at the terrible 2s aims to convince us that a hands-off attitude is not only key to your sanity, but also the seed of your child's future success.
The way that parents interact with their kids from ages 2-5 has a permanent impact on who those children become later in life. Scared yet? In How Toddlers Thrive: What Parents Can Do Today for Children Ages 2-5 to Plant the Seeds of Lifelong Success (Touchstone/Simon & Schuster), Tovah P. Klein, Ph.D., a Manhattan-based child psychologist and parenting expert who has spent more than 20 years working with toddlers, gives us a unique perspective of the world as seen through the eyes of small children. Her easy-to-read "toddler manual" explains why letting a child be a child is the best way to instill self-confidence, resilience, and compassion that last a lifetime.
You write that we need to set a strong foundation during the toddler years in order to avoid "consequences that are seen for years to come."What most of us say we want for our kids is for them to be able to handle life, to be compassionate beings, to problem-solve, and to be motivated. If kids can't trust themselves, then it's very hard for them to put those pieces together. The roots of self-regulation are laid down in these early years, and to overlook that could mean a child grows up feeling insecure, afraid to try new things, and not being understood.
Are some parents more intuitive about "cracking the toddler code"? There's definitely a range. Anyone with more than one child knows that there is more than one way to interact. The second child can teach you so much if he's different from the first. Some parents come to it more naturally. Some say, "I loved having a baby, but having a toddler is hard." For others, the opposite is true. It depends who the parent is. And ultimately, our children teach us.
You recommend that parents rethink the food battle: Mealtimes are about chatting and coming together as a family, not about eating.In many cultures, food is nurture, food is love, but it's also a way of saying "I'm a good parent. My child eats well." Well, unless your child has a rare medical condition, he won't starve. Most kids have a control place—like sleeping, food, or clothing—and there are very few places where a kid can get control! But food can be a battleground. For toddlers, it's a battle of independence. They decide they're in control. The less the parents make it into a control battle...the easier it is for everyone. Kids will learn to eat what they need, but only if the parents stop interfering.
Any advice about every parent's nightmare: the epic public tantrum?If it's somewhere like a grocery store, leave immediately, even if you have to abandon your shopping cart. All your child needs at this point is calm. She cannot listen or be rational, so do not make demands of her. She needs to hear "It's okay, I'll be here when you come down out of this." It's frightening for your child, too. She is literally beyond control, and counting on you to keep her safe. I always remind parents, "this too shall pass," but it's also important to look back and work out why your child has fallen apart to that point. Was she overwhelmed? Tired? Over-stimulated? Disappointed? This is a very little person!
You talk about the idea of letting the child be selfish, that generosity and sharing will come later. How can we possibly abandon correcting our poor-mannered kids?Parents always tell me, "It's embarrassing when my child doesn't follow social norms." I say, "Get over it. It's not about you." At ages 2 and 3, kids are just figuring out who they are. It is a very selfish time. We all want our kids to be kind human beings—but first, their sense of themselves as their own person has to develop. If we force them to share before they are ready, we are asking them to give up a piece of what they need. The media is very black and white on these nuanced concepts, but parents need to understand that toddlers are just going through an antisocial phase.
How do you feel about tablets and other technology for toddlers?There is no question that kids learn through interaction in an environment with three dimensions. The brain develops by using all the senses. But one of my biggest concerns with technology is that it takes the parent away from the child. Young kids' interactions are very "in the moment." If they look up and Daddy is busy texting, the child feels neglected. Kids need that human interaction. Our kids are counting on us so much. We need to have a zone where our kids are number-one. Right now there's no boundary. (Get the low-down on children's ability to learn from learning-oriented entertainment.)
Are there any toddler traits that you wish we didn't grow out of?Oh, definitely! I envy a toddler's wonder and curiosity, his lack of cynicism, his joy, his ability to embrace the moment. Toddlers truly do find joy in very small moments. They don't see mistakes as mistakes—a setback isn't necessarily wrong, or bad. And they can still think outside the box! They come up with new and innovative ways to do things. Toddlers really do have the ability to go into something open-minded.
What can you say to parents who are still struggling with the simple yet vital message that no single interaction makes a child who he or she is?In this parenting climate there is so much pressure on parents that they can end up believing, "Every move I make is the most important moment in my child's life!!" But in reality, kids are forgiving. What kids are actually taking back from these moments—good and bad—is a message of "I am loved, I am cared for, Mom and Dad are there for me. I can count on them." And that comes from a relationship that does and sometimes does not go smoothly. Bad moments teach kids that it's not about perfection: "Hey, even Mommy can do it wrong!" It's in those very moments where we think we've done the worst job that the broader picture should emerge—that our kids are thriving in a relationship, not just one interaction.

Fort Lauderdale Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is an eye surgery procedure that removes excess skin or fat on the eyelids. This operation is carried out with the scalpel or using a CO2 laser also called Erbium. It is also possible at the same time to treat wrinkles (crow's feet) or abnormal pigmentations of the skin (skid resurfacing).
Blepharoplasty: A quick operation
This excess skin, also called dermatochalasis is usually associated with aging, it corresponds in fact to a relaxation of the tissues, and is usually on the upper eyelids. But dermatochalasis also exists on the lower eyelids, usually associated with the presence of pockets. The duration of the operation generally does not exceed one day (ambulatory surgery) and usually takes place under local anesthesia, possibly accompanied by anesthetic supervision.
Blepharoplasty is often presented by healthcare professionals as one of the most spectacular in terms of outcomes, probably because it touches on what is most expressive about a face, look. For patients using cosmetic surgery, blepharoplasty is usually the first surgery performed. As a general rule the improvement is durable, and the fatty pocket does not reform. A distension of the skin can nevertheless take place again, mainly due to age. In some cases – rare – a scar line may persist beyond one year.
The duration of a is blepharoplasty surgery is short, and is performed as part of the outpatient surgery, the patient in the vast majority of cases does not remain more than a maximum day in the clinic, knowing that the operation in it Itself does not exceed one and a half hours. The threads are removed after a few days.
• The duration of treatment effectiveness differs from one person to another. In general, it is estimated to be five years or more. Then, an operation can be considered again. Smoking, drinking, and overexposure to the sun can contribute to accelerating the aging process.
• The loose, drooping skin of the upper eyelid may not be due to the eyelid but rather to drooping eyebrows. It is important to make a distinction because, depending on the cause, the problem will be approached differently.
Here's a good test: place your fingers on the skin, just above the eyebrows, or – better yet – ask someone to do it. Start by raising your eyebrows, then lower them. If the problem of drooping skin begins to improve markedly before it gets worse, chances are that at least part of the problem is caused by drooping eyebrows. In this case, eyebrow correction should be considered.

Aditi Bajpai's mother Divya started her own company when Aditi was only two. She used to export bedding and clothes, and also design for her buyers. As a child Aditi would accompany her mum to work and spend endless hours around fabrics, playing with spools of threads and getting her dolls dresses and her dresses made at the workplace. Watching her mother work Aditi's interest in design grew organically through the years. When she was in her teens, they would always talk about the day they would have their own brand. It wasn't until Aditi graduated from Lady Shri Ram College in Political Science that she started thinking seriously about design.
During her final year of masters, Aditi and her mum would spend many evenings over endless cups of chai discussing their plans. Around the same time Aditi had started experimenting with Illustrator and had made many graphics on her computer. Many branding sessions and months of hard work finally culminated into their brand, Almirah.
The designs for Almirah are made by Aditi, she creates the graphics and silhouettes and then decides the colors for the range. Divya handles the production and looks after quality control and administration. Here are a few of their designs:
Almirah was founded with the aim to invoke the memories of 'days gone by'. Many garments are made with organic cotton. Hand block printing, tie dyeing, Kantha, and motifs from the Indians jungle both urban and rural are used.

Citation: Su, L., Chopping, M.J., Rango, A., Martonchik, J.V., Peters, D.C. 2007. Support vector machines for recognition of semi-arid vegetation types using MISR multi-angle imagery. Remote Sensing of Environment. 107:299-311. Interpretive Summary: Nadir viewing reflectances from satellite sensors such as Landsat and MODIS sometimes have problems adequately classifying community types in desert grassland areas. Multispectral sensors that can view the surface at different angles like the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). Surface anisotropy patterns from bidirectional reflectance distribution function models, and support vector machine algorithm were tested to see if the community type classification in desert grasslands can be improved. It was determined that nadir-viewing classifications had a classification accuracy of 45.0%; addition of the MISR data, then surface anisotropy patterns, and finally the support vector machine algorithms improved the classification accuracy to 60.9%, 68.1% and 76.7%, respectively. In the future these additional remote sensing approaches may be useful to wild land managers in different agencies while for now the results are of most interest to remote sensing scientist attempting to develop optimum methods for classification in desert grasslands using all possible approaches as demonstrated here.
Technical Abstract: Mapping accurately community types is one of the main challenges for monitoring arid and semi-arid grasslands with remote sensing. The multi-angle approach has been proven useful for mapping vegetation types in desert grassland. The Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) provides 4 spectral bands and 9 angular reflectance. In this study, 44 classification experiments have been implemented to find the optimal combination of MISR multi-angular data to mine the information carried by MISR data as effectively as possible. These experiments show the following findings: 1) The combination of MISR's 4 spectral bands at nadir and red and near infrared bands in the C, B, and A cameras observing off-nadir can obtain the best vegetation type differentiation at the community level in New Mexico desert grasslands. 2) The k parameter at red band of Modified-Rahman-Pinty-Verstraete (MRPV) model and the structural scattering index (SSI) can bring useful additional information to land cover classification. The information carried by these two parameters, however, is less than that carried by surface anisotropy patterns described by the MRPV model and a linear semi-empirical erneldriven bidirectional reflectance distribution function model, the RossThin-iSparseModis (RTnLS) model. These experiments prove that: 1) multi-angular reflectance raise overall classification accuracy from 45.8% for nadir-only reflectance to 60.9%. 2) With surface anisotropy patterns derived from MRPV and RTnLS, an accuracy of 68.1% can be obtained when maximum likelihood algorithms are used. 3) Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms can raise the classification accuracy to 76.7%. This research shows that multi-angular reflectance, surface anisotropy patterns and SVM algorithms can improve desert vegetation type differentiation importantly.

January 30, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The 56th Annual Saint Nicholas Celebration to benefit Saints Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary was held on Sunday, December 9, 2012 at Saint John Cathedral Center, 210 Greentree Road in Munhall, Pennsylvania. During the program, George Juba, GCU President and CEO, presented an educational grant of $100,000.00 to Archbishop William C. Skurla of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh for the SS. Cyril & Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary.
In honor of Saint Nicholas, the Patron Saint of the Byzantine Catholic Church, the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh and the Greek Catholic Union (GCU) hold this annual event to offset the costs of educating students entering or currently attending the seminary. Since the event's inception in 1961, the GCU has donated more than $2.6 million.
Event attendees were asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy suitable for a child up to age 12, to be donated to the Salvation Army's 'Treasures for Children' program. As in previous years, the toys were donated in blessed memory of Archbishop Basil M. Schott. Since 2010, more than 800 families have benefitted from the toys collected at the Saint Nicholas event.
"The Saint Nicholas Celebration is an awesome showcase of fraternalism and the sentiment of giving," said Christie Petty, Fraternal Director of the GCU. "Our Byzantine Catholic parishioners are not only helping the seminary but also many children in need this season."
The 57th Annual Saint Nicholas Celebration is scheduled for Sunday, December 8, 2013. It will again be held at Saint John Cathedral Center, 210 Greentree Road in Munhall, Pennsylvania.

X5 msport more aggressive than F10
I've been driving an X5 MSport loaner the last few days and I keep thinking why isn't the f10 more like this
The wheels and tires are much more aggressive (315)s in the rears
The steering feels much more weighted
Exhaust is sportier and most importantly the suspension is incredibly firm, a bit to firm but one should expect this if you get a Msport, unless its an f10
You would think a sedan would be treated with the sportier version but not in this case
Based on E60 chassis, hydraulic steering, older front suspension setup.
I had an E70 X5, no sport or M sport packages. It also rode incredibly firm. But it did handle very well.
Try driving a 335. Handles incredibly well and the steering is extremely heavy but the car also rides like garbage if the roads have any imperfections on it. There's always a trade off.
The ride for the new 335is just way too harsh IMO.
Ever plot hole feels like it's gonna break the car.
Maybe the perceived differences arise from 550 vs. 535, but this just doesn't ring true.
The new Ferraris have been noted for having hyper light steering, but full of feel.
Same with our cars when the steering weight is increased. It's just heavier, not more full of feel.
Granted i still prefer this setup over my E90 which felt awesome if you are driving on a smooth road tossing the car into fast corners but once you hit any bumps or dips the car pounds the hell out of you. Sometimes it hits so hard you would swear the chassis would crack or the windshield would break.
I could even hear the turbo more so than the 5, I think the exhaust was the biggest difference, maybe some of it is psychological
I have hydraulic steering btw
It's just a matter of opinion. My wife drives the X5 majority of the time. Once I put the F10 to Sport+ the ride is good enough for me. Also, I have DDC so the suspension does firm up a bit. I may be the only one to say this, but I prefer the steering on the F10 over the X5. The hydraulic steering is a bit too tight similar to the E92 my wife had before. It was a good match on the E92 but on a car as big and wide as the X5, it takes some effort to move around tight spots. I often catch my wife negotiating turns into a parking spot. While the E60 did have hydraulic steering too, it was more forgiving than the E92. I find the F10 be a balance probably due to the fact I got used to the electric steering.
The F10 is also in the luxury mid size segment while the X5 is on the sport activity segment so there's gonna be that difference. It'll be interesting to see what BMW will do with the new 2014 X5 coming out.
I don't think you can fit 315 rears on the F10's wheel well without spacers of some sort.
Light steering has less feel than naturally loaded steering. When you turn the wheel the tires naturally strives to go straight and this force transmits to the steering. The more of this force that is passed through the "heavier" the steering feels. Factors like speed and grip determines the force on the tires and factors like the power assist boost and steering geometry determines how much force reaches the steering wheel. Light steering has less dynamic range and thereby reduces this aspect of feel. The steering feels more "numb".
For those of you that are truly unbiased, it will challenge some of the definitions being thrown about; light, heavy, feel, numb, subtle, etc. It will also show you that other makers (Ferrari and Porsche) see some of the same things that BMW does.
Rumors has it that one of the main goals with the F10 LCI is to "re-engineer" the steering for more feel. It will be interesting to see the result and what that will entitle. Whatever the result it's good to hear that it could be a priority.

text: Schools in MSAD 63, that's Eddington, Holbrook, and Holden are the latest to report an outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus. The absentee rate at Holbrook Middle School reached an alarming rate earlier this week. Carol Warmuth is the Registered Nurse who works for MSAD 63. "It was reported to the CDC that the absentee rate was 20%," says Warmuth, "and they've been following up and there are a lot kids out, especially at the middle school, with influenza like symptoms meaning high fever, cough." She says not all of the absenses were a result of the H1N1 virus but a number of the students that were absent reported flu like symptoms. School health officials say there were a few confirmed cases of H1N1, however they say there is no need to continue to confirm H1N1 once they know it's in a particular community. "I think it's because influenza, H1N1, the regular seasonal flu, and any other influenza like illness it's all treated the same," she says, "you treat the symptoms, you treat with fluids and Tylenol, and Ibuprofen, and rest." Warmuth says they've been stressing prevention in their schools. "What we've been doing all along," she says, "and certainly stepped up this year is teaching kids how to cough into their sleeves or their elbows, and how to wash their hands and to wash their hands frequently and stay home if they're ill."The preventative measures have been well received by students and with all the delays in getting the vaccine those measures have been many folks only defense against H1N1. "I'm disappointed because I was hoping that would not happen, unfortunately H1N1 has spread very quickly and unfortunately it was before the vaccine was available." Bangor area school children will have another chance to get both the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccine November 4th at the Bangor Civic Center.

Developing a five-state consortium to implement tobacco cessation guidelines
Five western states -- California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Hawaii -- have funding to implement comprehensive programs and have begun to develop strategies for statewide implementation of the United States Public Health Service guidelines. Lacking sufficient information and resources individually, this grant will allow these states to pool their experience and information about how to assist health plans, providers, purchasers, and state agencies to define their respective roles and to collaborate on delivering evidence-based cessation services. Further, these states propose combining and standardizing protocols and tools, and providing technical support to assist implementation in each state by forming a two-year Pacific Center on Health and Tobacco.Specific deliverables will include a guidebook and tool kit for implementing cessation best practices across statewide systems. The project will be considered successful if the guidebook and tool kit are widely disseminated through SmokeLess States programs and other national technical assistance facilities, and are employed to improve or accelerate the development of other state tobacco cessation initiatives.

- - How long after food/water should a puppy potty? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/416986-how-long-after-food-water-should-puppy-potty.html)
How long after food/water should a puppy potty?
He's 8 1/2 weeks old. I control his food water but he wont potty until about 2-3 hrs after food or water. I feed him half cup of Nature's Domain three times a day but he only poops twice a day (morning a couple hours after breakfast and evening a couple hours after dinner. Does NOT poop after lunch.) Is this normal? or should he be peeing and pooping more? [B]I read everywhere that a puppy should potty 5-30 minutes after food/water.[/B] Is this true for you? Cuz it seems awfully inaccurate.
I've found that at the very least my puppies all seem to pee 5-20 minutes after eating. I've had some that will pee and poop in that time, and others that will only pee, but will poop a couple hours later. Twice a day for poop sounds pretty normal to me, especially for a puppy on a higher quality diet (it seems like the purina/pedigree puppies in my classes poop 8-10 times a day! D: ) Every puppy is different. As long as you get a good feel for when he is likely to have to go and you let him out to do his bathroom breaks in the grass where they should be, I feel like you're doing well.
Some puppies that tended to take a long time, I would be patient with a reward them as soon as they go. It takes patience in the beginning, but it helps them get the idea that the faster they do their bathroom duty outside, the faster they'll get a nice tasty treat.
Nature's Domain is a grain free food, there usually is less poop to deal with on a grain free.
Mm, ic. so far the replies are reassuring. I was 1) Starting to get worried that he might have something wrong and 2) Starting to get fustrated because how do you teach a puppy where to poop when he wont poop? Sometimes.. I think I just need to wooooosah. and relax and be patient. This puppy business is no joke, eh? hahaha
i noticed Kali pooped twice right after she ate in the morning. Literally within a minute. i never noticed before soi was wondering why doesnt she poop when we go out.
i think all dogs are a little different. :)
Our's poo'd about the same as you describe at that age. However, he did pee a lot. We kept water down all the time and didn't regulate his water intake. My wife was concerned about controlling his water and we have another dog in the house. So we had a little trouble with that. He is 17 weeks tomorrow and we have been about 3 weeks without an accident. The last 2 accidents he had were my fault. I didn't pick up on the "sign". So in reality he has been solid for about a month.
We started taking him out every 20-30 minutes whether we felt like he had to go or not. Then the duration increased over the following weeks. We are currently at hours.
Sounds normal. Mine will go half a day without pooping and rarely does he have to go right after he eats. It's usually an hour or more after eating that he poops. This morning was the exception and he went within 15 minutes after eating. On the rug. By the door. :(

Now, certainly for the folks that have a 0 or net negative tax liability, any type of flat tax is going to hurt them. The entire situation is a catch 22, someone is going to get screwed. I personally believe everyone should be paying some amount of income tax. Regardless of level of income. I dont care if its just $1. Either that or the level of services provided by the Government via the taxpayers needs to shrink. It doesnt work and the proof is right in front of everyone.
I stated that I was talking about the person who is barely getting by. If you are currently paying 11% in income tax I was clearly not talking about you.
And the 9% sale tax would be on top of the current 6%, so the total would be 15%.
We would still need the IRS with a flat tax. Maybe it could be smaller, but any reduction in size would be more than made up for with the added bureaucracy and infrastructure for collecting the nation sales tax.

Chad McCumbee finished 10th Saturday in the Berlin ARCA 200 at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich.
McCumbee started 13th out of 31 drivers and was one of 11 drivers who completed all 200 laps.
Joey Coulter won the race, beating Patrick Sheltra by 0.768 of a second on the 0.4375-mile oval. The win was Coulter's first in ARCA Racing Series.
Coulter is the 11th different winner in the 2010 season and the 10th first-time winner this season.
The West Brunswick and South Brunswick high school football teams will be among the 10 teams playing Friday in the 24th annual BB&T Football Jamboree.
The jamboree is a fundraiser for 10 southeastern North Carolina high schools and student scholarships.
The jamboree begins at 5 p.m. at Legion Stadium in Wilmington with the cheerleading showcase. West and South cheerleaders will be participating.
Season tickets for West Brunswick High School sports are on sale and can be purchased at the front desk in the school office or by calling athletics director John Floyd at 398-2740.
The all-season pass costs $50 and covers all sporting events for the 2010-11 school year at West except for N.C. High School Athletic Association playoffs and the Easter baseball/softball tournament.
Zack Byrd is known as the "Birdie Man" among the Hooters Carolina Tour Players.
Last week he earned his nickname when he shot a sizzling 9-under score of 201 to win the three-day event at the par-70 Oyster Bay Golf Course in Calabash. He collected $3,700 for his efforts.
Byrd carded a 69-64-68 over the three days of play and credits his coach, Mike Schroeder, with helping him keep the ball in play on the tough Maples design that weaves in and out of the surrounding marshlands.
LELAND—Two Thunder Alley bowlers won college scholarship money in the recent BPAC/GA Rising Stars Youth Scholarship Tournament.
Christian Roberts, of Bolivia, finished first in his division (170 single-game average and higher) and won $1,500. He is a student at South Brunswick High School.
Amanda Buckner, of Leland, finished sixth in the same division and won $400. She is now a student at East Tennessee State University.
CHRISTIANSBURG, VA.—A pitch not thrown proved to be the most important pitch in the championship round game Aug. 4 between Brunswick County and Louisiana in the Dixie Boys World Series.
The Beachcombers played at Farmstead. Low gross: Randy Cogdill 84, Charlie Shore 86 and Stu Cleveland 89. Low net: Fred Ortiz 69, Cogdill and Jim Beairsto 69. Team, two low nets on each hole: Ortiz, Bob Smith, Reggie Auten and Bob Brownley, 20-under par. Golfer of the week was Randy Cogdill.
I first met Zack Byrd in 2003 when he won the Carolinas Junior Championship. I sat in his home in Calabash and chatted with the young phenom, and his parents, Cindy and Steve. He was being home-schooled at the time because his junior golf schedule was so rigorous it would not allow him to attend a regular high school with any consistency. Each week, his dad or mom drove him to junior events all over the country.
Having been a professional fisherman for nearly 20 years, there is simply no replacement for experience in learning and understanding an area's fishery. And to this day, I am still humbled at how foolish the fish can make me feel. However, I do feel as if time has afforded me the opportunity to experience year after year seasonal fish behavior and, as such, sort of get an idea about what the fish are doing.

Healing childhood trauma can lead to overcoming addiction, depression, anxiety, or any debilitating condition which benefits from redefining who you are. According to US Dept of Health & Human Services: Child Welfare, childhood trauma effects are persistent fear response, hyperarousal, increased internalizing symptoms, diminished executive functioning, delayed developmental milestones, weakened response to positive feedback, and complicated social interactions.
"You survived by seizing every tiny drop of love you could find anywhere, and milking it, relishing it, for all it was worth. And as you grew up, you sought love, anywhere you could find it, whether it was a teacher or a coach or a friend or a friend's parents. You sought those tiny droplets of love, basking in them when you found them. They sustained you. For all these years, you've lived under the illusion that somehow, you made it because you were tough enough to overpower the abuse, the hatred, the hard knocks of life. But really you made it because love is so powerful that tiny little doses of it are enough to overcome the pain of the worst things life can dish out. Toughness was a faulty coping mechanism you devised to get by. But, in reality, it has been your ability to never give up, to keep seeking love, and your resourcefulness to make that love last long enough to sustain you. That is what has gotten you by."
From Wikipedia—
A traumatic event involves one experience, or repeating events with the sense of being overwhelmed that can be delayed by weeks, years, or even decades as the person struggles to cope with the immediate circumstances, eventually leading to serious, long-term negative consequences, often overlooked even by mental health professionals: "If clinicians fail to look through a trauma lens and to conceptualize client problems as related possibly to current or past trauma, they may fail to see that trauma victims, young and old, organize much of their lives around repetitive patterns of reliving and warding off traumatic memories, reminders, and affects."
1. One of my favorite bloggers for many years is Syd. Syd's blog is I'm just F.I.N.E.—Recovery in Al-Anon. For this post, I've included his writing from: "More will be revealed":
I took my mother-in-law for her doctor's appointment today. In the car, she began to tell me about the tests being done on her husband, who is still in hospital. I have written here before that he has cirrhosis of the liver. The doctors are doing a liver biopsy and some other tests as well.
I asked her if she thought alcohol was a factor in his liver disease. And she opened up to talk to me as she has never done before. She told me that my father-in-law would go on binges for days. She said that she has been called every name in the book by him, been yelled at and belittled. She also told me that her own father drank. And she said that he did not want her to marry another man who drank.
All of this came as a huge "Ah-Ha" for me. I could understand her anger over the years, her need for a perfect house, her changeable moods. It all made sense to me when I knew that she was a kindred soul–an adult child of an alcoholic who married an alcoholic.
I have been around my mother-in-law for all of my married life. Yet, I never had this kind of conversation with her. She kept her distress from her sister and from close friends. And she kept it for all these years from me. Now, I see her through different eyes. I feel a level of compassion for her that I have for newcomers who arrive in pain.
She has persevered through a marriage of over 50 years, carrying around a secret that so many of us, who are affected by alcoholism, do. She told me that the reason she stayed in the marriage was because of her daughter, my wife. And that decision no doubt had its ramifications for C. Probably, what she isn't aware of, is that she stayed for other reasons as well–hoping to change the alcoholic, fear of abandonment, economic fears, pride, and a host of other emotions that keep us bound in an emotional prison.
I shared with her about my father. I didn't mention my wife as I won't break her anonymity, even to her own mother. I told her that I don't know whether my dad was an alcoholic but that I also had a lot of unresolved emotions carried over from childhood. And I told her that I have learned to detach from the belligerence of others by physically removing myself. She said that she tunes out her husband's yelling as best she can.
How I wish that she could have gotten into Al-Anon. The conversation we had made us both feel better. As she put it, "We now know something about each other that we didn't before." How very true. More will be revealed.
2. From Nel writing at Discovering Serenity. Repost below is from Talking About Trauma:Is it necessary to heal?"
Today, I was asked a question by a therapist-friend of mine, who knows I am a survivor of trauma, but does not know that I am DID. I was explaining that sometimes I get "stuck" in the healing process, like I plateau and I'm moving forward but I don't feel like I'm making progress. I explained to her that I get stuck usually in fear, and the emotion overcomes me. I am unable to process memories with my therapist at that point. They just swirl around in my head.
She asked, "Do you have to talk about the memories to move past them?"
I answered with a very strong YES! Although, as one of "The Regulars" I don't have clear memories of the abuse, someone else does. And they really feel like it is important to talk about it to "move on" (or whatever you call healing). My therapist-friend felt that in her professional experience, it wasn't always necessary to process the trauma, but more important to learn and implement coping skills.
I agree that healthy coping skills are important. Grounding. Containment. Hobbies. Distraction. Relaxation. But without processing the trauma, I know I will never move on. I need to talk about it with my therapist. In detail, including feeling the feelings no matter how overwhelming they are. Once and for all. I don't know if that's just different for me, or if it is different because I'm DID, or if it's different because I'm dealing with Complex Trauma. Or all three?

Passion Fruit, Mango and Chocolate Cake
January 29th, 2010 | Category: Cakes, Chocolate, Friends
This cake was inspired by so many things, I don't know where to start. Actually, I do. Paris. Denise Acabo's shop, A l'Etoile d'Or. Mr Genin's caramels lined up on the white marble counter top. Mango and passion fruit caramels, to be specific. New Year's Eve dinner party at my friends' house has been a tradition for over 10 years and I've been baking cakes for the occasion for ...
Sour Cherry Crumb Bars
September 17th, 2009 | Category: Cakes, Fruit
I made up something called a Monday Morning Syndrome Cake a while ago. It is basically a cake that you bake on a Sunday night, which helps you to survive the cubicle cabin fever on the first working day of the week. And somewhere along the line I completely forgot about this genius idea. No wonder why I've been grumpy on Monday mornings lately. So when I received ...

New Year's Eve dinner parties at the mansion last for two days. The first night is a joyful gathering between close friends. Everyone is on their best behavior. 12 grown-ups and few kids dining like royalty. Come next afternoon, things get ugly. The vultures are back at the table for a leftover lunch party. No plates, no silverware, no rules, no mercy. The first pair of claws ...

Sweeter than an orange, larger than a tangerine. This seedless, deep orange-colored beauty is called a clementine. You can buy them for their looks alone. I had a different motive.

text: I just got an 05 with 49k miles and my cruise control is rattling. I read the fix, Cruise Control Buzz DIY Fix, but I also read a lot of people saying that it was fixed by dealerships for free because of a TSB. I called my local dealership and asked them about it but when they searched on my VIN they said that there were no open issues with the car. They also said that they had never heard of the problem and that it would not be covered under warranty. So I am wondering if it was in fact something that should be fixed under warranty or because of a TSB and if so could someone post more info on that. Thanks.

Laptop just dropping out
Ding, Dang-nab-it! For some strange (aren't they always) reason, my laptop has been "dropping-out" in the last three days. Now, "dropping-out" is: while viewing a web-site the screen just goes black with the cursor arrow still on it, but the cursor cannot be moved. No certain web-site either, actually the last time it happened I was on this site about twenty minutes ago. Since the first incident, on Tuesday, I have learned not to touch anything and it will come back on exactly where I was at, all by itself. This take about eight (8) to twelve (12) minutes to happen. I have ran my "Webroot Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware", and my "Anti-MalWare" and they find nothing. I've ran the "disc clean-up" and "de-frag". Only one web-site open at any time, unless I click a link related to the topic, then only one. I'm showing that I still have 24GB of free space on the "C" drive, so I don't think it's crowded. Any suggestions, please? Thanks, David
Thanks, frozenstar. I'm thinking, at this time, it may be the motherboard (big OUCH there) as the lcd screen does not seem to have any problems at any given time. As far as the video card, it's a possibility I'm sure. I bought this Toshiba at a Best Buy on sale, and had upgrades done in the store at that time. It has never been touched since and has been flawless, to me at least. Maybe after the Christmas rush I will go to visit my sister and take it back to Best Buy to have it "anal-ized", as a co-worker used to say. Merry Christmas to all, David
First off, have you backed up your important data recently? What model of laptop? Do you know how to update your video drivers? I would do that first thing.
Does this only happen when you are browsing the web? Which web browser do you use? Only certain sites? Are they flash or java sites?
I would try a couple of things...
1. Use a different browser for a bit.... Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera... see if that happens.
2. Check out this tool, it will tell you how hot your machine is running: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
See if it is overheating
3. Check your eventlog (application and system) right after one of these occurrences. (You can right click My Computer, click manage, and go to eventlogs - or click start>run ((Or WindowsKey+R)) and then type in "eventvwr".) Look for any red x's or yellow !'s right within the timeframe of the little blackout seizure your machine is having.
i'd look into the power settings too.... could be one of them got bumped....
could also be the fan on yer video card is on it's way out. (if applicable)
that could cause the symptoms described.
Yeah, check power settings - good call DM.
Probably a heat sink rather than a fan on the vidya card - if heat is the issue, the whole thing will probably need to be broken down and cleaned. I would also re-thermal paste the CPU and any other applicable heat sinks.
Important data has been backed up. Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111. I did try the video driver update and was informed that I have the latest driver. Only happens when I am on the web, using FF, tried using IE for one day, same problem (just once). I'm currently using an "Antec" cool pad, as I sit with laptop on my lap a lot, no intake ports blocked and warm air coming from the discharge ports. I'll run the Amico link to see what it shows. I'll also have to check the event log also. It certainly is time to open it up for a good visual inspection and cleaning I know. I now have another problem, which may or may not be related. I've noticed that I cannot tap my touchpad (mouse) to lock the cursor and scroll using the right side of the touch pad. Tapping the touchpad does lock it in to use the "down" or "up" arrow keys to scroll though. I've gone all through the touchpad issues to no avail. Could these two problems be connected? Thanks, David
I don't think the problems are likely related, but they certainly COULD be... if they are, I would say possibly bad RAM, a loose connection, or a motherboard getting ready to cash in it's chips.
Some other things to try....
1. Next time it does this, try using the keyboard shortcut to suspend the computer. If it works, bring it out of suspend and see what happens.
2. Download http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896645.aspx - Process Monitor - and kick this heifer off before you start browsing. If you have the disk space, log it too. Keep an eye on the time. When your computer goes Patty Hearst style on you, wait until it snaps out of it and then stop the logging. Snip from like 2 or 3 minutes before the outage until right after the outage. Post that here.
3. Play some MP3s, see if they keep playing during an outage.
4. Download the Fedora 12 LiveCD http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ (You could also get Ubuntu or Mandrake, or whatever) There are direct downloads out there too. Burn this to a CD with like http://www.poweriso.com/ (assuming you have a burner and cds handy!) Now, boot to that, fire up firefox and browse as normal... you know what, you might just try http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.c...inuxMint-8.iso as it supposedly includes flash out of the gate - in case flash is causing the issue.
This could rule out something in your OS, drivers, etc... without doing a reinstall of Windows.
5. Shutdown and pop the case. RAM should be easy enough to get to. If you aren't really comfortable doing this off the cuff, let me know and we can do like a step by step. It SHOULD be fairly easy to get to the RAM, the HD, and like probably the wireless card. So, start with re-seating the RAM. See if that works. Assuming you have two sticks (Make a small mark on one of the stickers if they are identical), and if re-seating does not work, try swapping their slots. If that does not work, pull one... leave the other in it's slot. Check that. If that does not work, pull that stick and pop the other into the other slot. That should be enough, but if you are OCD and have the time, you could try each stick individually in each slot. (Very unlikely to produce anything, but you never know!)
6. As an alternative to the Linux LiveCD route, you could also try installing VMware or another virtualization program... fire up an instance of XP in there, and see what that does. This is hardcore nerdery, so you can most likely disregard, but I was up 16 hours fighting an ESX upgrade last night so I am all kinds of improvise, adapt, overcome (and caffeinated).
Anyway, let me know how she go!
sounds like you covered most everything i was going to add today...
i was coming back to mention the ram. sometimes the sticks get a wee bit of corrosion.
is knoppix still around? i liked that ok.
try Opera, see if that makes any difference.
good to have you here 80HD
but i still miss Nestor Kelebay.... Po)
Hahaha thanks! Pretty cool place, and I enjoy helping out - I signed up because I am going to do some electrical and remote gate stuff in the future, but saw this forum and said HEY! If I am going to leech off of one side, I can try to help the other.
You bring up a good point on the RAM - Thurman, when you take it out, make sure the contacts are clean - they should be fairly shiny copper.
yeah, the guys here help figure a lot of diy problems ....even a couple of MINE! lol
i do believe that's why i signed on to begin with.... had to check what code was on a project.
Thanks for all the reply's and helpful suggestions, 80HD-It will take some time for me to follow all of your suggestions as I'm not a computer savvy person. I did try this and it has seemed to help-I had an extra battery and decided to put it in as I had not used it in a while. After putting it in and letting it charge up I have not had this laptop drop out since. I very seldom run this unit on just the battery(s) as they both have a short life span, so I just plug it in. Maybe there was something in the other battery causing this laptop to drop out, who knows? Now if I can get the scroll on the touchpad to work I'll be back to normal. I do have a wireless mouse and it works fine, but I just miss my scroll function. Thanks, David
"Maybe there was something in the other battery causing this laptop to drop out, who knows?"
dang... dunno how i missed that one.... of course it had something to do with it... grrrr....
heck, mine did the same thing last month....
My laptop just died after almost two years. Anybody have a great laptop they want to recommend?
I know the MacBook is top shelf but I'm not sure I want to drop 1k on it.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
i like my HP laptop....7 yrs and still going strong.
my son got one too.
my daughter got a toshiba... it's ok, but she's had problems with it.

My name is Angeli VanLaanen and I have been living with Lyme Disease
for over fifteen years now. Fourteen of those years I went
undiagnosed. Since the age of 10, doctors have struggled to explain my
wide range of health problems. I've been misdiagnosed numerous times
and even told it was in my head. Due to my strong immune system and
active lifestyle, I was able to keep many severe symptoms at bay for
years. But as my rigorous lifestyle as a professional skier took a
toll on my body, my Lyme symptoms worsened.
Lyme Disease is caused by a spiral-shaped bacteria (spirochete) called Borrelia Burgdorferi, which is transferred through the bite of a Black Legged tick. This bacteria attacks the central nervous system, can cause infection of multiple organs and produce a wide range of symptoms. If caught promptly, treatment can eradicate the infection in 6-8 weeks. If left untreated, the Lyme spirochete can embed into any area of the body, making treatment long term. This condition is called Chronic Lyme Disease. Chronic Lyme Disease can be immobilizing and even fatal. There is much controversy and debate in the medical community on treatment protocol and the possibility of a cure for Chronic Lyme Disease.
Growing up in Washington State, Lyme Disease was not on any one's radar. I suspect I first contracted the Lyme infection living in Green Bay, WI when I was 10 years old. I recall a few tick bites that year, but remember not thinking much of it. My symptoms started out as fainting spells and a sinus infection that lasted the entire year. I then developed migraine headaches and a hormone imbalance. Even after returning to Washington the following fall, my symptoms multiplied rapidly. From back, neck and joint pain, to muscle fatigue and spasms, to developing dyslexia and blurry vision, to lock jaw and digestion problems, my symptom list stumped doctors all over the state.
Unfortunately my story of going years undiagnosed, is all too common. Black Legged ticks can be found in almost every state in the US and around the world. 50% of people diagnosed with Lyme Disease have no recollection of a "bullseye rash," a symptom particular to Lyme infection. In years past this rash was the main diagnosing factor. These days you will find most physicians using the Western Blot blood test. This testing protocol is not sensitive enough to pick up the bacteria 100% of the time and in many cases this produces a "false negative." These are problems you may run into if your doctor even thinks to test you for Lyme Disease in the first place. In most cases doctors overlook Lyme Disease as a possible cause all together.
In November of 2009, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and began extensive treatment right away to combat the condition. Two and a half years later I am happy to report, I'm symptom free! Now my mission is to spread awareness by creating a campaign including a Lyme awareness film, "LymeLight." LymeLight follows my story of living with Lyme Disease.
The best solution for a problem is action.
To support or find out more about my Lyme Awareness Project, check out the LymeLight Kickstarter page.
