Planning a holiday? Naturally, you can't stop thinking about how great it's going to be. But what about your closest, dearest companion? Not your significant other, rather that four-footed furry friend who wakes you up with a sloppy lick, or trips you up as you head for the kitchen and your first cup of coffee. Yes, that's right – your dog or cat.
Before you rush out and book that holiday, have you thought about what you will do with your pet?
Let's face it – some pets, however much you love them, just don't enjoy being away from familiar territory. This particularly applies to cats, but some dogs too are happiest in their home environment. So your first decision is whether to take your pet on holiday with you, or leave it at home.
If it's the latter, you have two choices – either place your best friend in pet accommodation, or have someone come in and pet-sit for you.
Your pet will be happiest if you can enlist a professional house sitter while you're away; you can relax too, knowing that your house, pet and plants are being cared for full time. Having a friend or relative calling in to feed your pet is an option, but falls well behind the security of a full time house sitter who can give your pet the attention it needs.
Placing your pet in accommodation requires planning, too. Make sure you book well in advance. Visit the kennel facilities to satisfy yourself that the accommodation and staff will be suitable for your pet.
Taking Your Pet on Holiday
If you can't bear to leave your best buddy at home, it's not just a question of packing an extra suitcase – there's still a lot of planning involved.
Firstly, you need to make sure that your pet will be welcome at your place of stay. Check out the Kenyan Pet Friendly Directory, which lists almost 350 places that will accept pets. You could also check the online pet-friendly directory, SA-Venues.
Whichever you choose, make sure you get hold of a copy of the pet policy that applies for the establishment. This should list the types of pets that can be accommodated, sleeping arrangements, special facilities available and any extra charges that may apply for pets.
Pet Health
Just like humans, pets need to be healthy to enjoy their holidays. Take your pet to the vet for a check up and vaccination well before you intend to travel. If you're going to a rabies area (Kwa-Zulu Natal, for example) your pet's rabies vaccination must have been given in the 30 days before you travel.
While at the vet, get your pet's identification (such as microchip) checked and get your pet used to wearing a collar that can be marked with at least your phone number. It is a good idea to check out pet insurance before you take that break – why not do that while you arrange your own travel insurance?
Car Travel
Travelling by car with a pet can be a trying experience if he is not used to it. Train your pet accordingly, as far in advance as possible. Get a strong pet carrier that has plenty of room for your pet to sit, stand and lie down. Make sure it has good ventilation and comfy bedding – something that your pet normally uses is ideal and provides some security. If you're getting a new carrier, let him get familiar with it.
Take plenty of water with you and make frequent stops so your pet can stretch out and take natural breaks – important for yourself, as well. Whatever you do, do not leave your pet in a locked car, even with the windows open. Ever.
Air Travel
Most domestic flights will accommodate your pet, but he will need to travel in a special container and in a pressurized hold in the aircraft. Food and water will be your responsibility and you will need to check in earlier than normal – usually 90 minutes beforehand – but enquire with the airline first. They will normally charge an extra fee for your pet and most will suggest that your pet be sedated before the flight to ease the stress.
Your holiday won't be much fun if your pet constantly gets into trouble or disturbs other guests. Think over how your pet will behave while on holiday and what you can do to prepare him for the time away.
It only takes a little planning and forethought for your pet and you to have a whale of a holiday together!

Michael Kors Fall 2013
Just as we were getting to the third waypoint of Michael Kors's fall collection, a rollicking take on urban survival rendered in high-octane hues of royal blue, neon orange and taxi-cab yellow, out came a surprise twist. Look 20, on Hanne Gaby Odiele, featured an über-chic charcoal melton coat over a flannel blazer, deftly belted, trousers the same shade of gray as the coat, and flat black lace-ups with silver metal-edged toes. A minute or two later, a male model walked out just as soberly attired, sans swaggering topcoat and wearing rather more guyish shoes, even if they were pearly white. With Michael Kors there has always been the sense that he believes femininity is at its best when its framed with a little masculinity—how could he not feel that way, given he's one of this country's greatest advocates of American sportswear, that original borrowed-from-the-boys approach to dressing? Yet this moment of androgyny was perhaps the closest Kors has ever come to bringing his women's and men's clothes together, even if for the longest time they've shared the same runway.
Kors, at a preview of fall earlier this week, joked that while he's no seer, given that he'd started work on his quilted, bonded, and camouflaged fall during Hurricane Sandy, and was putting the finishing touches to it on the eve of his show nearly four months later, perhaps his design impulses all those months ago had been spot-on. Yet his powers of intuition were also clearly alert to something else; that gender specificity seems to be getting a rethink, not least by women themselves, and what they are craving is high fashion with all the perceived practicality of men's clothes, right down to the lack of encumberment and the nifty no-nonsense notion of pieces that don't need endless amounts of negotiation to wear.
If this ticks the right boxes for you, then you'll want to take a look at Kors's coolly urban silver quilted sleeved black coat, or a similar shape rendered in that superbright blue that's rapidly becoming the color of the season. Or perhaps one of his capacious peacoats, swathed with a sweep of fur down the back. Or, indeed, his crisp, boyish, and cropped pants, rendered in everything from black crepe to tweed jacquard to camo gabardine. But it couldn't all belong to the boys—well, not unless they have very specific tastes, that is. Just for the girls: belted fur stoles (also in camo!), to genius mohawk fox hats (perhaps inspired by that original taxi-driving survivalist himself, Travis Bickle), to pointy high pumps resting on tread soles, to quilted purses whose articulated hand straps can be altered at whim.

Makes 6 servings
Those fast-food joints sure know how to make fried chicken. The only problem is that the breading sucks up oil from the fryer, making greasy (albeit tasty) chicken. I like to coat chicken breasts with a flavorful crunchy coating and "fry" it in the oven at a high temperature. They come out cracklin' crisp, very low in fat and so good you'll be licking your fingers.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 cups corn flakes
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
(about 3 pounds total), rinsed under cold water
and patted dry
1. Place the oven rack in the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray a jelly-roll pan with vegetable oil.
2. Place the flour, thyme, basil, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, pepper, salt, curry powder and cayenne in a 1-quart recloseable plastic bag. Seal and shake until combined. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, buttermilk and mustard. Set aside.
4. Place the corn flakes in a food processor with the steel blade in place and process, pulsing, until broken up but not turned into crumbs. Place in a medium bowl.
5. One at a time, place each chicken breast in the seasoning bag and shake until coated. Then dip it into the buttermilk mixture and then into the corn flakes, firmly pressing the corn flakes onto the chicken breast. Place each chicken breast, not touching, on the jelly-roll pan. Spray the chicken lightly with vegetable oil.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
Nutritional information per serving: 289 calories (8.2% from fat), 2.7 g fat (o.6 g saturated fat), 40.8 g protein, 21.8 g carbohydrate, 98 mg cholesterol, 534 mg sodium.
Salt Sense: Omitting the salt reduces the sodium to 357 mg per serving.
Cooking Tip: This chicken stays crunchy for only a short time after it has been removed from the oven.

An Alice-based oil field services company has settled a reverse race discrimination lawsuit filed by the EEOC.
The commission filed the suit in 2008 on behalf of Bert Yaklin, a white parts-department employee of Coil Tubing Services, which supports the petroleum industry in Texas and Louisiana. The EEOC charged that Hispanic supervisors at Coil Tubing discriminated against Yaklin because of his race and national origin and fired him when he complained. The company was also charged with subjecting Yaklin to harassment, a hostile work environment and disparate terms and conditions of employment because he is not Hispanic.
The suit alleged that the company violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by firing him in retaliation for complaining about the harassment to human resources.
Under the terms of the consent judgment, Coil Tubing will pay $60,000. The company also agreed to post an anti-discrimination notice, enforce a written policy against race discrimination and conduct anti-discrimination training for supervisors, managers and the HR manager at its Alice facility.
Advice: Make sure your anti-discrimination policies and procedures are being followed. The EEOC has noticeably stepped up its enforcement efforts since President Obama took office in January.

December 13, 2006 By News Report
Commission Chairwoman Dixie Roberts
Joined by Gov. Dave Freudenthal and several members of the Wyoming Legislature, Commission Chairwoman Dixie Roberts explained the reasons for developing this information. "The Legislature asked the commission to help them make data-driven decisions related to our healthcare workforce," she said. "This is a snapshot what we've gathered to respond to that need."
The handbook provides examples of the information contained in a newly developed database on physicians, physician assistants, advance practice nurses, dentists, pharmacists, pharmacies and hospitals. The handbook covers a wide range of topics such as education backgrounds, ages, practice locations, specialties, services and retirement timeframes.
Freudenthal said the data would have a variety of important uses. "All too often, we are influenced by insufficient information and rumor when making healthcare policy decisions," the governor said. "Whether it is pinpointing the training programs we need, or examining our ability to deliver services in our most rural areas, this information can be a critical piece to better decision-making."
The handbook was developed in cooperation with the Health Professions Tracking Center (HPTC) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Over the past year, HPTC conducted a series of surveys to build the database and will continue collecting information to maintain its accuracy. In addition to its work in Wyoming, HPTC manages information on the healthcare professions and facilities of Nebraska and Western Iowa.
"While this data is useful today, it will grow even more useful in the future as we continue to gather updates and gain the ability to track trends," said Sen. Charlie Scott, R-Casper. Copies of the handbook may be obtained by contacting the Wyoming Healthcare Commission at (307) 235-3221. It may also be viewed at county libraries across the state.

Bioshock Infinite Cosplay? (Newbie)
Hello! Some people might recognize me from the 2K forums,I know I recognize some people ahem mr.bubbles... On the other hand this is my
FIRST TIME ever wanting to cosplay
and I really want to try to make my own costume,it doesn't feel special if I just buy it online,I want to do it all by myself.
I believe there's an Anime Expo in a couple months so this is really urgent and I'm hoping to try to make at least an decent one. I really want to
make an "Boy of Silence"
so far he has my favorite design in Bioshock Infinite and I really like the backstory so far. I was going to become an Splicer but I decided I wanted to be a character I really would love to try out.
Boy of Silence Design:
I'm just curious how much money it would cost for material to make the helmet,I just want one that won't break or get crushed to easily. Also I don't know really know about the clothes,I do not and I mean DO NOT know how to sew! Do you guys think I could do it within a couple months? How much money do you think this will cost?
This is my first time,or do you recommend going for something easier? Like I said I'm new,but I really want to get into cosplaying,I might borrow some money from my brothers or someone if it's at least 100$ (I'm assuming that's the cost) and owe them back somehow. I really can't go over the 100$ limit though

Western face battle to avoid relegation in Europe
12 June 2011
A very young and relatively inexperienced Milne Craig Clydesdale Western squad slipped to 3-2 defeat in the crucial final group game against Austrian side HC Wels in Club Champions Challenge leaving them in a relegation dog fight with the French side CA Montrouge tomorrow.
Despite starting quite well and winning a series of short corners, Western were unable to make the most of these chances and paid the penalty when a defensive error led to the Austrians taking a lead into the interval.
Wels then increased the advantage early in the second period when possession was once again surrendered all too easily. Western however did respond and captain Sam Judge reduced the arrears courtesy of a set piece goal but minutes later Wels were awarded a penalty stroke to restore the two goal lead.
Nicki Scrastin managed a further goal but it was only to prove to be a consolation in a game where Western's inability to take opportunities created came back to haunt them once again.
Tomorrow will be sure to be a very tense affair with a win a necessity to ensure survival

Hello HMiS,
I really do think that we are on the level here and are not as far off in our mindsets as we might think. Probably more to do with perception, but hey, such is life.
Although I might sound like a broken record here, I've got a question... What is the difference between going to an Orthodox Bishop and Bp Thuc? I mean they are both excommunicated, right? This is the kicker for me. Catholic principle dictates that we not commune with excommunicates, heretics, and schismatics. This is the whole point of what we are trying to do as traditional Catholics. Now why not just trust that God will provide a good faithful Bishop instead of breaking one of the principles we are trying to uphold?
See where I am going with this?
If you disagree, feel free to hit me with the smack down as you see fit. Look forward to hearing from you. God bless....
Oh, I forgot to mention... I can see Epikeia applying to a situation such as going to a bishop who is in good standing out of necessity. The thing is, however, throughout Thuc's whole situation, he was under the ipso facto excommunications for the "imprudent" consecrations, and not in good standing (obviously). How does the rightness of his consecrations change depending on who he is consecrating, especially when we shouldn't go to him in the first place?
God bless, dude...
One last thing... Seriously...
If anyone wants to hear the SSPV's opinion on this question (and not just mine), The internet radio station, WFTS ( http://www.wftsradio.com/ ), is doing an interview with Bp Kelly specifically on the Thuc consecrations. The entire interview is three hours long and is being released in three parts. The first part is being replayed for the next couple of days. It is right now just an introduction to the overall situation in the church and only the last couple minutes of this segment start to touch on the Thuc issue. I have not as of yet heard the two other parts of the interview, and so cannot comment.
Fr Jenkins also has a segment about Fatima and the Third Secret. It was pretty good!!!
Just FWI, in case anyone was interested.
God bless...
I value your opinion, JD.
But I must say, to equal Thuc and any schismatic bishop of an heretical orthodox sect, goes beyond me. I think to say so is wrong and just calumny. Thuc was not an heretic, nor a schismatic. He was a confused prelate, but not a non-Catholic.
You, nor Bp. Kelly and Fr. Jenkins, have the authority and the right to declare someone to be excommunicated. Not only because they are not the interpretators of the law (the Pope is), but also because they themselves have also acted under Epikeia for their own bishop's consecration! Why blame others then?
In fact, given the history of Fr., now Bishop Mgr., Clarence Kelly: he ran away from the SSPX, broke with some other priests of the "Nine", and him having occupied SSPX property. Given that history, Bp. Mendez (?) of Alceribo (?) might have also incurred excommunication, because Fr. Kelly might have run away and started a homosexual sect?
I just can't follow the reasoning here.
And to doubt the validity because of the personal history of the Consecrator is wrong. I could doubt Fr. Kelly's ordination concerning validity, because Cardinal Liénart was the Consecrator of Abp. Lefebvre, and Liénart was a high ranking Freemason, and at least a very liberal modernist. Cardinal Rampolla - a Freemason - was the one who consecrated Cardinal Merry del Val, an excellent prelate and a great Anti-Modernist hero.
It is not required for VALIDITY and not even for LICEITY on part the consecrated cleric, that the consecrator be of a pure personal history without sins and excommunications.
After all, as the SSPV does not know what the status of the Papal See is at the moment, Abp. Thuc did repent from the consecrations at Palmar de Troya and of the homosexualist bishop, and he received the lifting of the excommunication from Pope Paul VI. So when consecrating the sedevacantist bishops Zamora, Carmona, Guérard des Lauriers, he might have been no longer under the penalty and at least had subjectively repented from his previous consecrations, if you grant that Paul VI had canonical authority according to Thuc in 1977. After that he came to the conclusion that the Papal See was vacant. And thus acting (again?) under Epikeia - after having received canonical freeing of excommunication by Paul VI - Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc validly and licitly consecrated Bishops.
Licit according to the Sedevacantist opinion at least. And some later Fr. Clarence Kelly took the same Epikeia argument to receive Consecration without a papal mandate from an other emeritus-bishop.
So what is the problem then about the post 1981 Consecrations of the Thuc line. Fr. Kelly took the same arguments as did Frs. McKenna and Vezelis to justify their consecrations.
So why is he mocking them and is Bp. Kelly constantly doubting the validity of the Thuc line with these most illogical and very emotional arguments? It's because he is in an intense emotional struggle with Fr. Anthony Cekada and the others of the Nine (1983), with whom he broke, and who subsequently broke with each other.
There are NO VALID arguments at all to call into doubt the validity of the Abp. Thuc line of Consecrations after 1981 (the Palmar de Troya line having been invalidated since ca. 1983 due to an invalid Palmarian "new rite" of Antipope Gregory XVII Gomez).
Why should I take them seriously then?
It is truly a disease among the Sedevacantists to call into doubt other groups' valid Sacraments and to claim right and authority to proclaim this and thus "lure" people out of those groups.
This is done by "Einsicht" (Germany) a publication in which Prof. Dr. Eberhard Heller constantly doubts the validity of Abp. Lefebvre's consecration etc. Why? Not because he would have doubted it under Pope Pius XII's pontificate. No, merely because he emotionally abhors from the SSPX's position and demands all-or-nothing Sedevacantism.
And the Mgr. Bp. Clarence Kelly arguments go along the same line. But then again they can be used again Kelly himself too.
It does not help the Sedevacantist Movement to constantly divide and get ruptured internally. But then again I am not really into Sedevacantism. At least not (yet) in my own convictions concerning the Most Holy Apostolic Roman See of Peter.
Both Bp. Kelly and the sedevacantist Thuc-line bishops are valid bishops, who have received consecration acting under Epikeia.
To end with: the sins of the Consecrator-Bishop are not "transmitted" to the consecrated, if the consecrated act under good intentions and good will in the spirit of Canon Law.
Another note: Bp. Castro Mayer of Campos deemed the Thuc consecrations valid.
And Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger officially acknowledged the validity of the Thuc bishops.
In the mean time even some non-re-consecrated bishops from the Palmar de Troya and sede groups (e.g. Bp. Seiwert Fleige) have been officially reconciled by the Vatican (being recognized as episcopal clerics) without being consecrated sub conditione. The Vatican - under modernist influence - might not be that bothered about validity as Cardinal Walter Kasper demanded the lifting of the bull Apostolicae Curae of Pope Leo XIII in which Leo XIII declared Anglican orders null and invalid in se. But I highly doubt that the Vatican would easily take over former traditionalist or Palmar-sectarian bishops while they don't re-consecrate them. After all, why wouldn't they want to make the sedevacantists of Thuc-line priests feel uncomfortable?
May I add, that the reasoning of Bp. Kelly about Abp. Thuc and the "fact" that ordaining individuals without a Mandate and without good selection, lead to the coming into existence of "home-aloner" sedevacantists, who think the Church defected and there are no licit Sacraments left.
This link is essential too:
What is the difference between going to an Orthodox Bishop and Bp Thuc? I mean they are both excommunicated, right? This is the kicker for me. Catholic principle dictates that we not commune with excommunicates, heretics, and schismatics. This is the whole point of what we are trying to do as traditional Catholics.
What book is this? (I'm just curious)
11. It is sinful to doubt the validity of someone's Holy Orders, without proof.
11. It is sinful to doubt the validity of someone's Holy Orders, without proof.
I'm interested to know "how so is it a sin"? If one is doubtful of a priest's valid holy orders, it is presumed that the burden of proof lies on the priest. I have never met a priest (except one) who did not hesitate to tell me his ordination, the bishop who ordained him, and where it took place. The priesthood is the highest calling a man can receive (not even the angels are so privileged) and he is right to be "proud" to speak about it and will do so happily. The only priest I have ever asked about his orders, and evaded the question is perhaps the priest we all have encountered in our meanderings in the internet: Fr. Moderator (Morrison) of Traditio. His evasiveness makes one avoid going to him for the sacraments, for the reason that he has no priestly faculties, unless and until he provides irrefutable proof (at this point in time anyway) that he is validly ordained. And it these priestly faculties that one must be sure of when asking about a priest's valid orders, because having none, he cannot confer the sacraments (esp. confession and the Eucharist). There is what is called the "common error" -- where one sees a long line in the confessional and rightly presume that since everybody is going to confession to this priest he must be valid. In that case, one receives absolution via this "error," even if this priest had no valid holy orders. This especially for those who have no ordinary jurisdiction.

What Is This Stripper's Face Doing in Miley Cyrus' Butt?
MILEY CYRUS hit up a strip club in New Orleans earlier this week. And not surprisingly, the ladies were pretty friendly to her in the VIP lounge.
But one dancer in particular got a little friendlier than the others ... by shoving her face into Miley's backside. Miley was fully dressed, but still ... I think this violates a law or two. Or at the very least some club rules.

OK, I got to thinking about this and what I might have done different. I will try to just keep this a summary. I have a tendency to get a little riled up when relating this episode. Ten years ogo
My now wife and I (when we were still dating) were going to her parents house for dinner, and we were on my bike. Two lane each direction surface street, 35mph, Sunday afternoon about 4:00. We are in the right lane, left track (and 1 of two times that I have ever just rode with the flow, no hurry to get anywhere, usually doing flow +5mph) climbing a fairly steep hill and I hear tires screeching. I look in my right mirror and all I see is a Ford emblem, drifting to my left. I move the bike to the right track and start accelerating (really in the wrong gear for a quick move with passenger and hill). I look over to my left and I watch this car slide sideways into the left lane, passing me going uphill.
The image that is burned into my head is the four occupants of the car of, South o the border origin, do not have the look of OH :banned: , were going to wipe out It was Whoo Hooo!!! Roller Coaster ride!!
The car did an abrupt vector change and came straight at us, hitting the bike in the saddle bag (left rear corner) knocking the bike into a fishtail. I tried to get her back under control for a couple of swings and knew it was a lost cause. I waited until the next swing and laid her back (now sideways), hooked my elbow under my passengers arm and kicked off before we got high sided. I loved her, but she is 1000 pounds of uncontrolled mass that I did not want to be in front of while we are sliding up the road.
Before the bike stopped rolling (side over side) I was on my feet looking for the vehicle (at this time I had been riding for 22 years, it is safe to say I know how to tuck and roll). I really wanted to have a talk with the driver and what I thought of his driving abilities. I located the car that had hopped the curb and ended up in the planting area at the end of the parking spaces in an apartment complex. I started walking towards the driver, and the car, backed up, turned around and started coming at me increasing speed, all occupants still having a good ol time.
The car swerved around me - barely, went back onto the street, back up on the sidewalk, passing all the traffic stopped at the light, through the intersection and continued on their way. I am ashamed to say that at this point I had completely forgotten about my date, and her location. I was beyond :banned: and really wanted to talk to the driver. As it turns out, she had just gotten back on her feet (she was still laying in the road, and the car all but skimmed her).
So, I put it to you You are where I was, just getting back on your feet, you locate the vehicle and see it coming towards you. You still have your carry piece with you.
Know this. Hit and run accidents in Denver are pretty much never resolved.

If any of the three major party leaders in Ottawa should have a ready response to questions on the Senate, it's Thomas Mulcair. The New Democratic Party wants the upper house abolished, end of argument.
"We're putting forward this motion now because our goal is that the Senate be abolished before 2015, when we will form government," the NDP leader replied Monday when queried about a motion urging Ottawa to to work with the provinces to close the upper house.
Clear enough. But when confronted with a further question on the same issue — would he, as prime minister, appoint NDP members to the Senate? — he suddenly became all dodge-and-weavey.
"We're starting now to explain exactly what we're going to do, which is to work with the provinces and territories to abolish the unelected, unaccountable, and unapologetic Senate, and we're not going to change our point of view. That's been our position for the past 50 years."
In politics, it's never a good idea to burn your bridges, so it's commonplace for MPs to equivocate. But not in this case. If the NDP is against the Senate, it's against the Senate. The response to the query should have been simple: Nope, an NDP government will not make appointments to the Senate.
Update: Post gets action.
Stephen Harper avoided making Senate appointments in his early days as Prime Minister because it appeared to conflict with his own plans for reform. Then he discovered it was harder to govern when faced with an upper house filled with Liberals who got a kick out of making life difficult for a Conservative prime minister. Since then he has established himself as one of the more prolific Senate-stuffers in prime ministerial history: in just seven short years he has managed to eclipse the Liberal majority and place 58 of his own choices in nice, safe, unelected positions.
Mr. Mulcair may fear he'd find himself in a similar position, trying to run a government faced with a hostile upper house. In his case the situation would be even worse: without a single NDP senator, he'd be confronted by a united front of appointees to whom he represented just one thing: unemployment.
Still, he has had harsh words for Mr. Harper's tactics:
"We know that the Conservatives have talked one game with regard to the Senate and done something entirely different. They said they wouldn't name senators; they've packed the place with Tory bagmen. We know the Liberals think the only problem with the Senate is that there are not enough Liberals in the Senate," Mulcair said. "We think that laws should only be made by people who are elected."
Harsh, but not unfair. Should he find himself in power, and bow to the necessity of naming his own appointees, Mr. Mulcair would be no better than the Liberals or Tories. The NDP has a solid election issue on this, an issue that clearly differentiates them from the two other parties. Mr. Mulcair should be clear and forthright on his plans: no Senate, no senators, period. Let the other parties explain the Mike Duffys and Patrick Brazeaus, the Raymond Lavignes and Andrew Thompsons. The NDP has an opportunity to accomplish something useful, and should be careful not to waste it.

Milton B. O'Connell Statement on Civil Defense
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Milton B. O'Connell, Deputy Director for Public Information of the New York State Civil Defense Commission describes the state's plans for civil defense in light of disclosures of the extent of damage caused by the H-bomb explosions in the Pacific. The New York State Commission on Civil Defense states this has no impact on the plans for civil defense. Lt. Gen. C. R. Huebner, State Civil Defense director, stated as much on March 1, 1954, the same day the h-bomb explosion took place: "There is no reason to be defeatist and to maintain that nothing can be done to deal with the effects of this new weapon. While the damages and casualties will, of course, increase, and the importance of prompt and effective post attack measures is magnified, the actions to be taken are essentially the same as in the case of an atomic blast."
"Civil defense is fundamentally the people...prepared to take positive action to cope with the effects of a hostile attack."
"There is no alternative but to improve our defenses, both militarily and civil."
A somewhat frank discussion of the effects of an h-bomb attack follows, mostly through quotes from Huebner.

SAP's Business Suite 7 Launch Sends Mixed Signals
Posted by Paul Hamerman on February 5, 2009
- 440 Recommendations
- 0 comments
SAP held a carefully orchestrated product launch event for Business Suite 7 in its global marketing headquarters in New York on February 4, 2009. I had the privilege to attend this event, along with a cadre of other industry analysts, investment analysts, press, and industry influencers, as well as key partners and customers. The 2 hour program featured presentations from senior SAP executives, a product demonstration, and a Q&A session that included CIOs from 3 large SAP customers – IBM, Roche and Colgate-Palmolive.
The program turned out to be heavy on value messages and was not so specific on what the release actually contained. SAP is positioning the Business Suite 7 within the economic downturn, emphasizing customer value propositions. These include "industry-rich value scenarios," which are pre-defined processes within the Suite that span traditionally siloed functions. SAP also discussed "Best Run Now" packages, smaller and more contained applications designed for quick ROI, which were first introduced in October, 2008. SAP emphasized "better and faster insight," promoting integration to its Business Objects analytics products, which are managed as a separate line of business an not included in Business Suite 7.
The wave of articles in mass media and IT trade outlets immediately following the launch confirmed my impressions about the lack of clarity of the announcement – they were all over the map. Impressions of the launch ranged from emphasizing web-based software and SaaS-like capabilities (off target), to cost savings, modularity, upgradability and ease of use (partially correct).
On a larger scale, customers naturally want to know if this is a substantive release or a marketing/repackaging event. It's both. From my perspective, this is what the lauch of Business Suite 7 really boils down to:
· Release synchronization – there will be a synchronized release schedule for the entire suite of SAP enterprise application products, including ERP, CRM, PLM, SRM, etc. as well as industry-specific modules. Previously, the products has been on separate schedules and had unique release nomenclature, as well as having some architectural dissimilarities. ERP 6.0 (also known as ECC 6.0) is now part of the Business Suite 7 umbrella, although SAP decided against changing the release number of this flagship product at this time. The synchronization of releases is a key benefit, according to Colgate-Palmolive's global IT executive, Ed Toben, because it simplifies integration and testing of new functionality across the breadth of his SAP footprint.
· UI harmonization – the release features a more consistent and improved user interface across the various applications, based on work initially done for SAP CRM. While the UI efforts represent considerable improvement, SAP has a propensity to use the tiniest of fonts on its screens. This has usability implications not only for software demonstrations, but for actual use of the applications to the extent that this cannot be easily adjusted by the end user.
· Upgradeability – another important element of this launch event is the availability of enhancement packages for the full suite, once customers upgrade to this release. Previously available only with ERP 6.0, the enhancement packages are smaller and easier to apply than traditional upgrades. Using tooling called the Switch Framework, customers can select (i.e., turn the switches to ON) the enhancements they would like to activate. Previously issued in 6 to 9 months intervals with ERP 6.0, the enhancement package release schedule will now be an annual event. While this is an improvement for SAP, enhancement packages still lag well behind SaaS solutions in terms of update frequency and granularity.

"Liked the number of photo options, as well as, being able to use space for a personal message and also an inspirational quote. Upgraded to the black envelopes to better coordinate the set. Felt that the basic paper option still provided a "keepsake" quality. Most importantly, my graduating daughter loved them. Will definitely use TinyPrints services again."
"We were very happy with how our announcements came out for our daughter's high school graduation. We would definitely use TIny Prints again."
"Customer Service was wonderful, helped me design the perfect Graduation invitations. Very pleased with the finished product."
"I ordered these announcements to share my son's graduation with friends and family that I know would most likely NOT be able to make it to the graduation ceremony. It was a money savings things since formal graduation announcements are so expensive. However, these are so nice and so fun with all the pictures I almost wish I was sending these to everyone!"

New York, N.Y. (March 27, 2010)-The Mount St. Mary's men's lacrosse team stretched its win streak to three with a 12-5 win at Wagner on Saturday afternoon. Freshman Andrew Scalley posted three goals and two assists to lead the Mount to the victory.
Scalley's career-high five points paced the offense while Jake Willertz added three goals for the Mountaineers. The Mount's leading scorer, Cody Lehrer, who entered the game averaging 4.25 goals per game, posted two goals and an assist in the win while Brett Schmidt and Mike Adkins added two goals each in the victory.
Ben Trapp won 12-of-16 face-offs in the game and had four ground balls for the Mountaineers. Goalkeeper T.C. DiBartolo made 10 saves while allowing five goals in 56:30 of action. A.J. Schaufler made a pair of save in the final 3:30 of the game.
Cody Isander led Wagner with a goal and an assist while Michael Gutkin made nine saves while allowing 11 goals in 57:22 of action.
The Mount held a 39-to-27 advantage in shots and a 39-to-30 margin in ground balls. The Mount's man-down defense allowed just one goal in nine Wagner chances.
After falling behind 2-0 midway through the first quarter, the Mount scored the next three goals to take a 3-2 advantage. Isandaner and Mike Scheerer scored early goals to give the Seahawks (0-7, 0-1 MAAC) the early lead.
The Mount countered with a pair of Willertz goals sandwiched around a score by Brett Schmidt. Bryant Schmidt assisted on each of the Willertz tallies as the Mount went to the second quarter leading 3-2.
The Seahawks struck just 11 seconds into the second quarter with a Will Macumber goal to even the score at 3-3. Brett Schmidt answered that score with his second goal of the game to give the Mount the lead while Willertz completed a hat trick with an extra-man goal with 9:41 left in the first half.
After Wagner cut the Mount lead to 5-4, the Mountaineers rattled off the final three goals of the half for an 8-4 lead. Scalley was a key to the run, scoring twice while assisting on a Mike Adkins goal.
Mount St. Mary's took control of the game by scoring the only two goals in the third quarter. Scalley scored five minutes into the quarter before Lehrer struck for his first goal of the game.
Wagner's Mike Hurley scored an extra-man goal to open the fourth quarter scoring to cut the Mount lead to 10-5. The Mountaineers, however, sealed the win with goals from Lehrer and Adkins to close out the scoring.
The Mount returns to action on Wednesday, March 31, with a 3:00 p.m. home game against Sacred Heart at Waldron Family Stadium on campus.

When old friend actress Lara Dutta asked him to play in the film, but in a small part he accepted right away.
The name of this new movie production is Chalo Dilli, in which alongside Lara Dutta also stars Vinay Pathak. Furthemore reliable sources state that the actor dind't even demand a fees for his cameo part in the Chalo Dilli movie. Due to the fact that Akshay trusts Lara very much he didn't even wanted to know more about his part in the movie when deciding to go to Jaipur for two days to do the shooting.
This is not the first time that Lara Dutta and Akshay Kumar will be staring in the same movie production. The two played together in several films such as Andaaz, Blue and Housefull.

For now, third baseman Wright still a lifetime Met
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. This could be David Wright's last spring training with the New York Mets, a franchise coming off three straight losing seasons and a payroll purge. Surrounded by newcomers, the senior Met must be feeling like the last man standing.
"That's what happens," Wright said Wednesday. "You don't have success, and you get that turnover, and you see a lot of these new faces."
Unlike departed fellow stars Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran, whether Wright stays or goes might not be all about the money. Beyond failures on the field, the landscape is complicated by financial turmoil related to ownership's investments in disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme.
The Mets hold a $16 million option for next season on the 29-year-old Wright, who's coming off an injury-shortened 2011 that also was his worst offensively since his rookie year in 2004. It was an easier call cutting ties with Reyes and Beltran, both of whom were approaching free agency and price tags that were less clear.
General manager Sandy Alderson was circumspect earlier in the week, saying the Mets' finish might not factor into a decision on Wright.
"I'm not sure that that's very high on the list," Alderson added. "If there's anybody on the team whose future is independent of the club's performance, I think it's David."
Wright does his best not to fret about where he might end up.
"That doesn't wear on me at all because it's not my decision. I mean, you try not to worry about things that are out of your hands," Wright said. "It's probably a better question for Sandy and the front office."
Reyes signed a six-year, $106 million deal with the Marlins, and Beltran, dealt to the Giants at the trade deadline, got a two-year, $26 million deal with the Cardinals. Now, Wright will be playing alongside 22-year-old rookie shortstop Ruben Tejada.
"The team's going to miss Jose, the organization's going to miss Jose, the fans are going to miss Jose," Wright said. "Personally, I'll miss Jose.
"But at the end of the day, that's the business of the game."
Although he hasn't crunched the numbers, manager Terry Collins believes the Mets have the youngest team in the major leagues. Other players who will be 25 or younger on opening day include starting pitchers Dillon Gee and Jonathan Niese, catcher Josh Thole, first baseman Ike Davis and outfielder Lucas Duda.
Collins was unhappy Wednesday that Tejada won't arrive until Saturday due to visa issues in Panama, but a day earlier predicted that Tejada had a "chance to move really fast to be a special player."
"Yeah, we're a little lean at the upper levels and we might be a little thin right now," Collins said. "But we've got some players coming."
A March trial could clarify how much money the Madoff investments will cost the Mets. A bounce-back year individually certainly couldn't hurt Wright's chances of staying put.
Wright is a lifetime Met and the longest-tenured player on the team, too, making his debut in 2004 three years after New York made him a first-round draft pick. He's a career .300 hitter with five 100-RBI years. He also has two Gold Gloves at third base.
Last year, he was sidelined for two months by a stress fracture in his back, and batted just .261 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs in 102 games. He said he's well past that problem.
"David Wright's too good a player to go through what he went through last year," Collins said. "We're going to have play at a higher level. No question we're going to miss some of the things Carlos and Jose brought.
"But I think we've got some people who will pick that up."
Wright's numbers were worse before he went on the disabled list May 18, a .226 average and six homers. Now, he said the back feels "great."
"I feel healthy, and had a whole offseason to kind of work on it, strengthen it," Wright said. "So I'm excited to come to spring and kind of put that back behind me."
So, too, are the Mets.

With Hugo away it is left up to me to talk about motherboards and you know just how much I love that...!?!
Thankfully the 'P5E3 Deluxe' from Asus has come to my rescue being a product that is genuinely interesting.
Built upon Intel's X38 chipset, it throws a wonderful differentiator into the mix: an embedded Linux OS, which it claims will boot in just five seconds and offer base functionality. Dubbed 'SplashTop' (which sounds more like a description of a pub latrine), it has been developed by DeviceVM and comes with core versions of Firefox and Skype installed meaning web browsing, email and VoIP are at your fingertips almost instantly.
Of course if you are a Windows user (Vista? You have my sympathies...) the P5E3 works just as well as any other mobo since its Linux option is held completely separate and isn't stored on your hard disk.
Elsewhere, the mobo is typical of the X38 with support for everything from Core 2 Quad to Pentium 4 processors, an FSB up to 1333MHz, potentially 8GB of (overclocked) 1800MHz DDR3 RAM, dual PCIe 2.0 slots, 802.11n, passive cooling, dual Gigabit LAN, High Def audio and a swarm of USB ports.
The P5E3 Deluxe goes on sale now for just under £200 and if you're one of those 'Oh I just forgot to...' people you have found your technological nirvana.
Now Hugo, get back here!

North Carolina lost starting junior guard Dexter Strickland to a torn ACL, and replacing him will have
an effect both on the offensive and defensive sides of the floor.Let's get you warmed up for the "College GameDay" road show (live Saturday from Tucson at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN) by taking a look at some notes and nuggets from our college hoops advanced stats research team (a group we call the "Stats in the Paint" team).
Saturday's Matchups
(5) Kansas at Iowa State, 2 ET on ESPN and ESPN3
Key stat: The Cyclones are the best team in all of college basketball in plays after timeouts, ranking first in points per play (1.14), adjusted field goal percentage (65.1) and scoring percentage (49.4). But Kansas is one of the best half-court defensive teams in the nation, ranking fifth overall in opponent field goal percentage (35.3) and seventh overall in opponent scoring percentage (33.4).
St. John's at (6) Duke, Noon ET on ESPN and ESPN3
Key stat: Duke allows 31.4 points per game in the paint this season, which is the most in the ACC and the fourth most among schools from the "Power Six" Conferences. Duke allowed opponents to shoot 57.9 percent on two-point field goals in its three losses this season.
(16) Mississippi State at (13) Florida, 1:30 ET on ESPN3
Key stat: Mississippi State averages 33.6 PPG in the paint, second most in the SEC, but allows 31.7 PPG in the paint, which ranks last in the conference. However, the Bulldogs allow opponents to grab only 27.5 percent of their missed shots and score 8.5 second-chance points per game, both of which lead the SEC. Florida is averaging 13.2 second-chance points per game, the second most in the conference.
Game Plans
• West Virginia -- Limit easy baskets
Syracuse scored a season-low 11 points off turnovers against Notre Dame -- its only loss so far. The Orange average 22.6 points off turnovers this season, which leads all schools in the power six conferences.
• Florida -- Score on pick and rolls
Among the 102 teams with at least 100 shots off pick-and-roll plays this season, Florida's effective field goal percentage (50.0) ranks fifth in the nation. Forty-seven percent of Florida's shots off pick-and-roll plays have been 3-pointers, the second-highest percentage in the SEC. The Gators are making 40 percent of these threes, the highest percentage in the conference.
Kyle Fogg on Jump Shots
This Season
• Arizona -- Get Kyle Fogg open shots
Fogg is shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range this season, third in the Pac-12, and just 39.1 percent on 2-point field goals this season. Fogg also averages one point per field goal attempt when coming off screens this season.
Tell Me Something I Don't Know
Among the topics Rece Davis, Digger Phelps, Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis plan to tackle:
How will North Carolina fare without Dexter Strickland?
The Tar Heels were at their best defensively with Strickland, the team's best on-ball defender, on the floor. The Heels were allowing 64.1 points per 40 minutes with Strickland on the court, compared to 72.0 with him off.
Offensively, however, the Tar Heels have been more efficient with Strickland off the court, playing with Reggie Bullock at the off guard spot. North Carolina averaged 91.9 points per 40 minutes with Strickland off the floor. With him on the court the Heels averaged 80.6.
North Carolina's offense has a different identity with Bullock, who leads the Heels with 93 3-point field goal attempts this season. When Strickland was on the floor, North Carolina attempted a 3 on just 17 percent of its shots. That number jumps to 30 percent when Strickland is on the bench.

Power seats hook-up
1 Attachment(s)
I have 1989 Cadillac eldorado bucket seats. Under the seat there are 2 plugs, blk and blu. blk has 2 wires, blk and orange w/blk stripe - blue plug has 4 wires, pink w/blk stripe, green w/white stripe, blue w/white stripe, white w/blk stripe. 1st que: How can I bench test to see if they will move? 2nd que: is there a schematic to show how to hook these up? I'm trying to download, but having trouble> thanks, Dana
You have four electric motors in the seat.
I would think that each motor controls one movement. You apply power to a motor, and it runs one way, you reverse the polarity, and it runs the other way.
See if the color of the wires at each motor corresponds to the color of wire at the plug. If it does, try hooking the two wires up to a 12 battery, (with a fuse) and see what happens.
See if you can identify what two wires control the four functions, and make a chart for yourself.
This is generally how reversing electric motors are hooked up. When you move a switch, it grounds one side of the motor, and applies power to the other side. Move the switch the other way, and it grounds the side that was hot, and make the side that was grounded hot, and the motor goes the other way. Sometimes, two relays are used for switching the motors. If this is the case, the relays are wired so that both relays ground both sides of the motor. When you move a switch, it switches one relay, and the wire on that relay, going to the electric motor, is switched from ground to hot, and the motor runs.
12v battery chargers work great for a pwr supply when doing bench tests

See attached schematics of power seats.
Cadillac Power Seats

OK, here's some info for you, based on my research into my 90's Cadillac Eldorado buckets:
"blk has 2 wires, blk and orange w/blk stripe": Blk is ground; orange w/blk stripe is 12V constant power, typically fused @ 20-25 amps.
"blue plug has 4 wires, pink w/blk stripe, green w/white stripe, blue w/white stripe, white w/blk stripe": This connector goes to the Cadillac seat control switch assembly (pic). From my experience, it will be VERY difficult to operate the seat without the Cadillac button assembly, as it contains a basic printed circuit board to cause multiple on/off actions when each button is moved. I found my switches on E-Bay.
I would also suggest buying a small sealed scooter, or motorcycle battery, for bench testing 12V electrical components; they give more consistent voltage than a battery charger. Attach some made-up 12 gauge test leads, with covered/protected alligator clips, & you can test any NEW circuit, anywhere on your ride.
I use a sealed Gel cell 12 volt battery for bench tests. It is a battery that came out of a UPS supply for computers. These batteries are also very common in emergency power out lighting in factories, schools, and many other public buildings.
If you need a small 12v sealed battery by all means purchase one, otherwise a charger will provide a good strong 12 source with low amps, why are low amps important? if you cross the wrong set of wires ie..... short them out, you won't fry the motor!

This is my battery. Notice the fuse between the two 6 volt batteries.
(This is also a test of getting a picture in here.)
The wire harness on the battery is for testing boat trailer lights.
I also recently used the battery to run the electric window regulator for my for Aerostar to a position that would make it easier to slip into the door.
Info Update
1 Attachment(s)
39 Chevy.......Some added info/corrections:
-The 12V power connection is indeed 30 Amp, not the lower rating that I had given B/4. All diagrams that I have show a 30 amp circuit breaker supporting BOTH seats, combined.
-Attached is a PDF file wiring diagram for a '97 Eldorado. I believe that you'll find (as I did), that very few changes have occurred through the years, following yours. If your seats have heat, & lumbar support built-in, you'll need the Cadillac console mounted control module, & wiring harness, too, as these controls were NOT mounted on the seats in the early to mid 90's. (Attachment:) [A red 12V is shown; same as your orange 12V wire.]
Cadillac Heat & Lumbar Module
Here's a link to one for sale, if needed:
Thanks 4 all the help, I should be good to go, I did purchase the control swith, thanks again!
Both seats seem to fine, WHERE would I find a wiring Harness just to attach both buckets together? Thanks
Bucket Seats Wiring Harness?
1 Attachment(s)
I made mine. Reason? That's pretty much what the factory did.....When I pulled my seats out of the donor Eldorado, the factory STOCK main wiring leads from the two bucket seats (12V, & Ground) were soldered together, then shrink-wrapped, leading into a factory connector, then to the circuit breaker/fuse box.
For our street rod application(s) 10 gauge 12V, & ground wiring is the size to use for the offered 30 amp load. Either use the proper sized butt-connectors, or solder the connections if you prefer, but make sure to SHRINK-WRAP the connections, regardless. For further protection, I would also split-loom the entire harness, as the seats are one of the biggest amp draws in any vehicle.
My seat wiring goes to one of these, or you could use something comparable (pic):
Thanks again!
One last que: I have got a complete switch box for both seats, (Console) I am going to make my own wiring harness to make this thing work, my que: is I know 10 guage is good for power seats, but my wires coming out of my control panel are really small guage(Circuit board) It won't be a problem splicing to them, but will that be o.k. to do it that way? Thanks again, Dana

Sunshine bounced off the rock formations at Roxborough Park on Saturday, illuminating bits of history for those celebrating the fifth annual International Archaeology Day at the state park.
In combination with regular park visitors, a large crowd — too large for the available parking — filled the park, and cars wrapped around the entrance waiting to get in.
By Matthew Van Deventer
For the Courier
ARVADA — Sometimes a winning team just needs needs to get knocked down.
That's exactly what happened to D'Evelyn on Oct. 14 at Faith Christian. The Jaguars lost to the host Eagles 19-6.
Austin Vancil certainly wasn't expecting it. Most likely not too many people were.
"Not at all," Vancil said.
But the Dakota Ridge sophomore certainly was capable of winning the 5A Jeffco League cross country championship, and he did. Vancil ran the Clement Park course on Oct. 13 in 16 minutes, 24 seconds, holding off Arvada West's Colin Berndt by six seconds. It helped the Eagles to a second-place team finish, behind A-West with 59 points. The Wildcats scored 38.
PARKER — The 11th-seeded Dakota Ridge Lady Eagles (13-8-0) knew a run at the 5A state championships wouldn't be easy, especially if it meant battling their adversary — sixth-seeded Legend (16-5-1), which is exactly what happened.
DENVER — Christian Holmes was dressed for the occasion. With his Chatfield Chargers T-shirt, plaid team shorts, black socks with a red stripe and brand new orange shoes, the sophomore and No. 1 singles player was ready for the 5A state boys' tennis tournament.
More than the wardrobe, however, Holmes had the mental makeup to tackle the challenges he faced at Gates Tennis Center on Oct. 13.
DENVER — Gut-wrenching. Numbing. Speechless. Indescribable. Pick your description of choice because any and all of them could've characterized the Columbine Rebels on Oct. 14.

For the Courier
BAILEY — For years, Platte Canyon has been running roughshod over opposing defenses out of its unique Double Wing-T. The trend continues in 2016, as Front Range Christian will attest after absorbing a 46-12 Foothills League loss. Platte Canyon rolled up 428 yards on the ground in the Oct. 8 contest.
LAKEWOOD — The true character of a team can be tested by how it overcomes adversity. Ever since losing to Columbine 28-7 on Sept. 22, Chatfield has been on fire.
On Oct. 7 at Jefferson County Stadium, Chatfield defeated Golden 54-0 in its homecoming game. In their two games following their loss to Columbine, the Chargers have outscored their opponents a combined score of 106-0.
Be it with a soft touch or an overpowering kill, Chatfield senior Sierra Bartley has the skill set to be an effective, yet dominant force on the front line. Columbine knows that all too well.
Bartley is not the only force to be reckoned with fellow seniors Haley Fuller and Nicole Langford alongside junior Breanna Jones making noise on the front line. Add in the Lady Rebels' defense with kills scattered throughout the floor in Chatfield's 25-19, 25-15, 25-11 win Oct. 6 at Chatfield Senior High School.
If his trip to the 2015 5A state tennis championships taught Christian Holmes anything, it's that the now-sophomore at Chatfield Senior High can hang with the top players in the state of Colorado. He did, after all, get to the state quarterfinals.
Now, he's going back again, and he's not alone.

Treasuries Sink
Treasuries opened lower and then fell further. Wall Street Journal articles suggesting large job creations, position adjusting ahead of Greenspan, Indonesian Central Bank intervention to defend the Rupiah which spurred Treasury sales, poor JGB auction, and Berry article saying large deficits portend higher long term rates nearer than Greenspan thinks, underpinned the opening selloff.
Short covering and several deal pricings temporarily stalled a further selloff, but prices then tanked on the dollar surge. A Reuters article, regarding yet another European Union lawmaker calling for an European Central Bank interest rate cut, began the U.S. dollar's move up. Comments from Greenspan - "current federal funds rate accommodative at some point will have to rise" - extended losses into the close.
