Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
My female dog has had some vaginal discharge (yellow/white and sticky) for the last couple of days? She is fixed, she is still eating drinking, and doing everything normally. Will it go away or is it an issue?
I think this may be an issue. Vaginal discharge is not too worrisome to me in some cases. But those are usually intact female dogs with a bit of slimy mucousy discharge. Any time a fixed female dog is having white and sticky discharge I think it should be examined.
This could be a no big deal thing like vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina) which could easily resolve with treatment or it could be something requiring a little more management like a urinary tract infection.
I would try to get her looked at. Be sure you don't let her urinate before her appointment so a urine sample can be collected.
Yes. If you notice that she is feverish (you can check her temperature with a thermometer if you are able - normal is 100-101 or so), off her food, depressed, or squatting around in multiple spots to urinate instead of just going all in one spot.
Watch the discharge closely. If it develops a bad smell or begins looking yellow or greenish in color make her exam a higher priority.
You can use a mild antibacterial handsoap and a clean, soft warm wash cloth to keep her vulva cleansed and keep her from getting a further infection from the drainage as well.

On certain sites, I noticed that IE8 on vista would crash with a Data execution Protection Error message. After digging through all of my addons, I narrowed it down to the "iepasswordmanagerhelper Class" and the "Lenovo Password Manager" extensions.
Although most sites work, some sites will constantly crash the browser. lenovo.com has just recently started to crash it. pcworld.com's news and review articles seem to always take it down as well. I've also disabled memory protection in IE8's advanced settings with the same results on or off. only disabling the addons in IE8 seems to fix the problem, but since I like the feature (especially with the fingerprint reader) I would rather have a fix than a workaround.
Password Manager version is 3.00.0205.00 and Client Security Solution version is 8.21.0006.00. Thinkvantage system update is not showing any updates to thiese versions, and all TVSU updates have been applied. Laptop is a Lenovo R61 7733 system running the Lenovo image of Windows Vista Ultimate. It has the built in Fingerprint reader as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Highland • Defense surprisingly helped decide a game in which the teams combined for 930 yards of offense.
That's how Timpview escaped with a 36-33 victory Friday night at Lone Peak.
The Thunderbirds held the defending Class 5A champion to six points after halftime and rode a career night by Braydon Galland to win on the road for the second consecutive week.
Galland caught four touchdown passes among his eight receptions for 200 yards.
"I wasn't expecting to play that big a role, but I'll take it," said Galland, who scored on passes of 53, 30, 80 and 5 yards from quarterback Jake Lloyd. "They were double-teaming Dax Raymond, and we took advantage."
The 80-yard touchdown was a turning point for the T-Birds (2-1), who won at Westlake last week. Timpview's Pita Taumoepenu blocked a field goal attempt with his team trailing 27-20 in the final minute of the second quarter.
Lloyd found Galland streaking up the middle of the field and hit him in stride for the score on the next playto enter halftime down 27-26.
"We get down when we are losing, so that really changed momentum going into halftime and had us feeling good," Galland said.
Lone Peak quarterback Baron Gajkowski amassed 286 yards of offense and threw for three touchdowns in the first half. It was a different story after the break. Running lanes he found in the first half were sealed, and throws began to sail high and wide of intended targets.
"We made some adjustments in the way we covered them," Timpview coach Cary Whittingham said about his defense in the second half. "[Gajkowski] loves to pull it down and run it. That was a problem for us in the first half."
Gajkowski finished with 309 yards on 27-of-46 passing. He added 106 yards on 20 rushing attempts. His 6-yard touchdown with 2.8 seconds left provided the final margin.
Lloyd threw for 294 yards but turned to the running game late to milk the clock and seal the victory. Gregson Aspinall had 114 yards on 10 carries and scored on a 7-yard run in the first half.
Timpview once again was its worst enemy in terms of penalties. The T-Birds were whistled 14 times for 130 yards a week after committing 22 infractions.
"Unfortunately, still, we're dealing with some penalties that hurt us," Whittingham said. "Some of those penalties kept us from first downs that we needed and from possibly putting more points on the board. We've got to clean that up."
Austin McCherney scored two touchdowns – a 25-yard reception and 19-yard run – in the first quarter for the Knights (1-2), who finished with 443 yards of offense. Talon Shumway (7 yards) and Dustin Watkins (8 yards) also caught touchdown passes.

The River Lune rises in the hills around Tebay in thje North of England and runs through rural farming country to Morecambe bay. It is generally considered as a river of high purity and unspoiled nature. The salmon fishery was at one time considered amongst the best in England and Wales, with very high catches to both rod and net fishermen. During the late 1960's the disease UDN decimated the stock. Since then there has been a recovery of the stock, but this is considered by most anglers and netsmen to be a partial recovery of some of the previous stock components. In recent years anglers and netsmen have voiced their concerns over the Lune stock and have lobbied for action to improve the Lune fishery. This net limitation order (NLO) and the separate byelaw in conjunction with habitat improvement are proposed as part of the strategy for future conservation and management of this salmon fishery. The fishery is currently exploited by 37 licensed netsmen, the highest number of any single estuary in England and Wales. There are 26 haaf, 10 drift and 1 seine nets available. Current estimates of the rod fishery are that 1100 to 1400 anglers fish 14 000 days per year. The River Luhe is one of the few rivers within England and Wales that has the benefit of an accurate fish counter. The counter is at Forge Weir approximately 4 km upstream of the tidal limit. The counts, together with records of the catches from the rod and net fishery, enable a reasonably accurate assessment of both rod and net exploitation. Extensive surveys of the juvenile population, carried out in 1991 and 1997, provide additional information. The purpose of this document is to describe and explain the current state of the salmon population in the River Lune and in doing so, demonstrate the current need for stock conservation. A second purpose is to demonstrate that the proposed NLO and byelaw package should allow the salmon population to reach its conservation target (spawning escapement target).

Colonial Inn
Colonial Inn first opened in 1947, when tourists began coming to explore the beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Now one of the oldest properties directly on the beach in Nags Head, Colonial Inn is a landmark, located right beside the Nags Head Fishing Pier and within a short stroll of local restaurants. Though the inn is too small to support a full-time concierge, front-desk staff revel in the opportunity to share their local knowledge and point guests in the right direction—perhaps to an ideal fishing spot. A total of six nearby piers line the shore, positioning travelers to catch bass and, in the summer, perch and inner tubes.
Each king or queen room is spacious, with windows overlooking either the Atlantic Ocean and beach or the courtyard's outdoor pool. There's a microwave and mini fridge inside for stowing snacks, and the inn offers a complimentary continental breakfast each morning.

Conventional wisdom says that your 20s are the greatest time of your life, but it looks like today's 20-somethings may not agree with that belief, due to their personal finances.
PNC Financial Services Group recently conducted a survey of more than 3,200 respondents ages 20-29, and the results show that young professionals are struggling to make money and save some of that money for their futures. Take a look at a few of the key findings.
- Fifty-eight percent of respondents with some college education are behind where they expected in terms of financial success.
- Forty percent still live with their parents or relatives.
- Twenty-three percent indicate that their lack of financial security is a source of stress.
While respondents may not feel content with their current situations, the findings show that they're serious about getting their personal finances on track. About 60 percent of respondents who still feel financially dependent on someone else are determined to be independent soon.
"It is not a lack of ambition we are seeing in these data," Mekael Teshome, an economist for PNC Financial Services Group, says. "It is more about a lack of opportunity that has hindered many young adults' progress against their professional and financial objectives."
The combination of a competitive job market and overwhelming student loan debt are undoubtedly two key ingredients that are weighing on today's 20-somethings. However, regardless of how you feel about your job and your salary, there are steps toward improving the state of your savings account that can pay off down the road.
Here are three recommendations.
- Let your boss do the work for you. Ask your employer to automatically deposit a portion of your paycheck into a savings account at your bank.
- Make the most of free money. If your employer matches 401(k) contributions, make sure that you maximize your earning potential.
- Be on the lookout for personal budget-cutting opportunities. Even small adjustments such as taking your lunch to work or lowering your monthly cable bill can add up to make a big difference.
Are you a 20-something saver? How do you feel about your financial situation? Do you have any advice for other young professionals?

My friend is on her way back from a trip and she has a felony warrant out for her arrest. When she arrives at the airport(chicago,nyc and so on) will the state of arkansas extradite her? If not, does this mean that the charges against her will be dropped? I understand the warrant never goes away until you get it sorted. However, they will then also know that she fled the state so will she get another charge?
Short answer : Yes, and Yes (Yes, she will be extradited and yes she could be charged with fleeing the Jurisdiction and/or failure to appear in court). Longer answer: nobody knows for sure if or When this will happen. As you said, this warrant will continue to haunt her for the rest of her life until she gets it cleared up. She needs to get an experienced criminal defense atty. on her aside, from the area where she was charged, ASAP.

I've read that people are extradited on case by case situations due to some states not wanting to spend money and the overall severity of the offence. In your opinion because this is a felony dwi you are certain she will be extradited back to arkansas? She has never hurt anyone but she does have a history of failures to appears. This is her 4th dwi. She has a big problem with drinking. Do you think she could enter a program instead of going to jail?
I am not certain of anything, nor can anyone else ever be. However, That is correct that costs plays a role in extradition decisions, balanced against the severity of the offense, etc. She will definitely need to go to treatment if that what's you mean by a "program," but that is not necc'ly a substitute for jail.
That are many factors that go into the analysis to answer your question but the short answer is that they can arrest her and hold her until she is brought back to Arkansas. That does not mean that they will, but they can. She should call our office for more complete answers.Ask a similar question

Heroin Influx Ignites a Growing AIDS Epidemic in China
By PATRICK E. TYLER
Published: November 28, 1995
DADINGHU, China— Ai Hang is 23 and appears as robust and muscular as any farmhand in this village. Saved from handsomeness by a crooked grin, he has a self-assuredness that is beguiling, so it seems almost believable when he says he just might defeat the sickness inside him whose symptoms he has never felt.
"The health clinic people said I have AIDS and that I would only live for six months or a year, but it has been already two years and I still have all this energy and good health," he said, sitting on the mat floor of his bamboo-frame house, his arms draped over his blue plaid sarong. "I told those health clinic people: What if I don't die? Do you want to bet some money?"
Mr. Ai is one of the victims of the heroin plague that swept into China as the country opened its borders to trade in the 1980's.
It has undermined the health and stability of thousands of peasant villages, with sudden deaths from overdoses and crime where virtually none existed before. And it has brought with it the companion plague of the human immunodeficiency virus, which is spreading rapidly among China's population of intravenous drug users.
Six years ago, when he was 17, Mr. Ai had never heard of the AIDS virus when he and his friends, with whom he often drank the pungent rice wine of the Dai ethnic minority, bought some packets of the white powder known as No. 4 and sprinkled it on their cigarettes to get higher than they ever had on wine.
No. 4 is the purest grade of heroin produced in the laboratories of neighboring Myanmar, formerly called Burma, whose mountains are a 20-minute walk across the rice paddies from here.
"At first we smoked it, but a year later we started using needles," Mr. Ai said. "We would buy one needle for more than 10 of us, and sometimes we would use the same needle for a month."
They never knew the danger. No one told them.
Officially, China's Ministry of Public Health says there are 2,428 reported cases of H.I.V. infection nationwide, but few people have been tested, and health officials privately estimate that China has as many as 100,000 carriers of the virus.
More than half are believed to be here in Yunnan Province, which shares borders with Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam and where needle sharing by drug users, as well as sexual intercourse, has spread the disease.
Earlier this year, the Academy of Medical Science estimated that the number of H.I.V. infections could exceed 266,000 by 2000. While this is far from the worst infection rate in Asia, its rapid incipient growth in a country whose blood supplies remain largely unscreened for the virus is a cause for concern.
[On Oct. 28 the Health Ministry announced that it was undertaking a large-scale public education campaign on AIDS prevention and would mobilize China's hospitals to enforce a rigid blood-screening code.]
"This country is a large target for a much more serious outbreak of H.I.V. infection," said a Western physician who recently visited here.
In the nearby village of Handeng, no one has ever told Old Zhuang, as 45-year-old Zhuang Xiangsai is familiarly called, that the horrible symptoms he suffers are from the onset of AIDS.
"Generally speaking, if they test positive for H.I.V. they don't inform them, because it creates psychological pressures," said Chen Gangsheng, a longtime resident of Ruili, the county seat in this district.
The village chief of Handeng, Shuai Hanya, 50, is fed up with the AIDS problem. He said with a snort, indicating he was not serious, that if he finds any more cases, "I'll just cut off their heads."
As he escorted a visitor to Mr. Zhuang's home recently, Mr. Shuai, a Communist Party member, warned: "Old Zhuang is sick and pretty soon he'll be dead. And it smells pretty bad when he coughs."
Up the bamboo ladder to the second floor of the grass-roofed house, Mr. Zhuang could be heard stirring in the darkened room. He crawled out from under the mosquito net suspended over the pallet that is serving as his deathbed and scooted gingerly across the floor. His white cotton shirt hung loosely over his decimated frame. His head drooped with a blank gaze under disheveled hair.
Mr. Zhuang is the son of an opium addict, and possibly the grandson of an opium addict. His wife and stepdaughter do not know on which of his forays into the heroin dens and brothels of Ruili he acquired his infection.
"He doesn't think about his wife and daughter," said the stepdaughter, Qin Meisu. "He just cares about himself."
When the village chief inquired after his health, a soft, high-pitched noise came from Mr. Zhuang, more whine than speech. He complained that there was a ghost in his backbone that was trying to kill him with excruciating pain.
"When he's in there, I have pain all over," he said, leaning weakly on his arms and staring at the floor as if he lacked the strength to lift his head.
The blood that comes up when he coughs betrays an advanced tubercular state, and his stepdaughter said, "When he sleeps, he sometimes groans and makes loud noises.
"The last couple days, we bought some drugs for him. "If we buy him a little opium or heroin, he feels better."
In Mandarin Chinese, AIDS is pronounced EYE-dze-bing, which is partly a transliteration but also carries the meaning "the sickness that comes from love."
On the streets of Ruili, love, as it were, is for sale from hundreds of prostitutes who parade through the charcoal smoke of the sidewalk food stalls and outdoor karaoke bars. The nightly cacophony seems to render human speech unintelligible, but the flesh market, as the locals call it, is undeterred.
Only in the last two years have condoms come to Ruili, because in the past China's population control program imposed birth control on women through intrauterine devices and sterilization. By the time condoms arrived, a wave of H.I.V. infections had already rolled through the brothels, city residents say.
A big public education campaign here against sexually transmitted diseases includes information about AIDS prevention for the first time, but Ruili's public health officials refuse to discuss the local rate of infection, which is said by medical officials in Beijing to be the highest in the country.
"In the last two to three years they haven't released any statistics on AIDS, because they are afraid it would start a panic," said a longtime Ruili merchant.
The most positive development in some of the villages around Ruili is that village leaders have taken the initiative against drug addiction, no longer ignoring the crisis.
In Dadinghu, the village chief, You Wensen, explained his technique: "We mobilize the entire village and family members of those on drugs and we threaten them, 'If you keep using drugs, all the people here will not help you when you ask for help, and we will kick you out of the village.' "
In a culture where everything from harvesting to house building requires the help of neighbors, it seems to be working.
Those addicts who resist are hauled off to the detoxification center, where the "cure" is 12-hour days laboring in the fields with no help against the pains of withdrawal.
But for villagers like Mr. Ai, the local campaign to monitor and support H.I.V. carriers is over.
"The hospital in the city used to send someone to regularly check the four people with H.I.V. and gave them condoms and made them take very expensive medicines," said Mr. You, the village chief. "They used to come every 10 days, but now they haven't come in a long time."
Mr. Ai said: "They don't come anymore to give me drugs. They told me that since there is not going to be a cure for this disease, there is no point."

Letters from Opa
A visual story of five generations
de Guido Deboeck
Acerca del libro
This photo book contains photos from five generations of my family including several photos that are more than hundred years old. It contains photos of my grandfathers together with a few images from my mother's and my wife's family. The emphasis is on "Opa" which is a Dutch endearing term for Grandfather.
The message of this book is very simple: we are all made from the genes we inherited from our parents and grandparents; we were all shaped by the village we came from; where we were brought up; the country we grew up in. Conventional genealogists research important facts such as births, marriages, deaths, occupations, the times and circumstances in which people lived. Genetic genealogists analyze the DNA of people to define where they belong in the tree of human relations.
A photo book like this one contributes to each of these interests. This book primarily designed for my grandchildren may also be of interest to family members, brothers, cousins, nieces, or even friends. It may also be of interest to other, non-family members, who may find it useful as a template for making a visual portrait of their own family history.

Réunion informelle des Ministres de la culture: «Le nouveau rôle et les nouvelles responsabilités des ministres de la culture pour initier le dialogue interculturel» - Strasbourg, les 17 et 18 février 2003
(version anglaise seulement)
Discours du Dr Petros M. Kareklas, Vice- Ministre du Ministère de l'Education et de la Culture de Chypre
I would like to congratulate the Steering Committee of the Council of Europe for its initiative to take a serious look, through specific actions, at such an important issue as Intercultural Dialogue and the role it can play in the prevention of conflicts. Mankind has no other choice. The events of recent years compel us to work together so as not to bequeath to our children a civilization based on violence and intolerance, but to build a civilization based on peace and tolerance.
Due to its geographical location at the crossroads of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, Cyprus was, from ancient times, a meeting point for great civilizations and religions.
At times, these different cultures and religions were a source of strife and conflict, while, more often than not, they were used as a pretext to cover up the political and economic interests of those who wanted to exploit the significant geopolitical position of the island.
It must be pointed out that Cyprus, from antiquity to present day, has shown remarkable tolerance and acceptance of foreign cultures and religions, never failing to establish bridges of communication with them. It is not, therefore, by chance that in the Cyprus dialect which, to a large extent is the language of Homer, there are numerous words which are derived from the languages of other peoples who came to Cyprus, many times as conquerors, and who then proceeded to settle on the island. Moreover, the visitor to the Archaeological Museum in Nicosia has the unique experience of finding himself before remarkable works of art, which are the result of a free and creative synthesis of elements from eastern and western cultures. This is characteristic of the ability of the Cypriot artist to assimilate features from different cultures and, through a free and creative composition, transform them into a work of art, which represents his own unique world. This dialogue with other cultures which characterizes Cypriot art also characterizes other aspects of Cypriot culture.
We, therefore, consider Cyprus' role as a connecting link of cultures to be of primary importance. We also look upon this role as an obligation on our part to cultivate and promote peace, stability and prosperity in our region. Our policy is to reinforce the acceptance of our religious and cultural particularities, and create bridges of communication between the different ethnic and religious groups which make up our population.
The recent history of Cyprus and the de facto and forced partition of the island since 1974, has begun to create a new state of affairs, so far unknown in Cyprus. The violent division of the island into two by the Turkish troops, and the compulsory enclavement of the Greek Cypriots in the south and the Turkish Cypriots in the north, has alienated these two main communities of the island from each other, with no means of communication, cultural or otherwise, between them. It is, therefore, natural that both communities now harbour feelings of fear and insecurity. The conflict culture has begun to penetrate into all aspects of life. The colonial political dogma "Divide and Impera" has been a complete success, thus serving the well-known foreign interests which promote it.
Fully aware of the need for rapprochement between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, the Republic of Cyprus has encouraged civil society to develop its own initiatives and courses of action and to work towards recreating the bridges of communication, as they existed between the two communities for centuries in this island of the Eastern Mediterranean.
I shall not go into all these initiatives and courses of action, but I shall mention a few characteristic examples, which demonstrate the wish of the people of Cyprus for communication and for the creation of mutual trust and understanding between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The last decade has seen the formation of more than 60 Bicommunal Conflict Resolution Groups, which hold meetings and working sessions on a regular basis. The efforts of these groups have been reinforced to a great extent by new means of technology such as the Internet.
We also have the "Youth Encounters for Peace" which function under the guidance of two inspiring teachers-peace builders. These young people have created, amongst their other achievements and activities, a bicommunal dance group.
Furthermore, meetings between Greek and Turkish Cypriots who live in mixed villages are encouraged. I must also mention the Bicommunal Choir for Peace, and the rock and traditional folk music festivals which are organized in the buffer zone.
Also significant is the cooperation between the Greek and Turkish community for the conservation of our cultural heritage, as in the case of the Venetian Walls of Nicosia, the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas in the Karpass Peninsula and the Hala Sultan Tekke near Larnaca.
These constitute only some of the attempts that are being made with the objective of creating bridges of communication between the two communities, and which are gradually beginning to sweep aside misperceptions, mistrust, fears and negative stereotypes.
Our will to intensify these efforts and to support the good practices of the Council of Europe in creating an intercultural dialogue for the promotion of peace can be demonstrated by the fact that the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia is participating in "Shared Cities", an action plan of the Council of Europe.
Apart from our political problem, in recent years Cyprus has seen the influx of new cultures with the arrival on the island of a large number of foreign workers from different countries and continents. This is a matter of deep concern for the Ministry of Education and Culture which is trying, through special programmes, to help both children and adults to get acquainted with, and to respect each other's culture and civilization, and to help them - without trying to assimilate them - to take their place in society.
We are well aware of that fact that establishing peace is a very slow process, and that it takes only a few days of war to destroy what took tens of years to build. We also know that our only defence against war is to implant the virtues of peace firmly in the minds of our people.
With the accession of Cyprus to the European Union, we now have the necessary prerequisites for building a peaceful and prosperous future for all the people of our island - Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Armenians, Maronites, Latins and others.
And that is what we shall strive to do - with all our might!

One thought on "15 minutes of Holmgren talking Pronger, Giroux concussions, and more"
I like what the Flyers have done, particularly picking up Jagr. I don't know that you have solved your goaltending woes, today's game excluded. The Big Bad Bruins are back and the road tl the Cup goes through Beantown. That being said, the Flyers are as coach Laviolette stated on the 1st episode of 24/7, one of the top teams in the NHL. It ks going to be fun going forward. Obviously, I am a Bruins fan, but I hate the Rangers and hope Philly destroys them in the Winter Classic.

Ah, the changing of the season; new wardrobe, new hair and new makeup palettes. One of my favorite lines, Laura Geller Beauty, released its spring 2014 collection.
I've written before about LGB and how much I love their über-reasonably priced line – especially their colors and their Spackle primer. This season they are offering a palette of darkish neutrals for lips such as warm coral, warm raspberry and brick red in their Color Enriched Anti-Aging lipstick ($21). My favorite is the "Cream Latte," a warm brown-pink that suits my coloring perfectly, wears long and feels super moist and creamy on my lips (great for dry weather).
The collection also includes some lovely creamy lip liners (Pout Perfection Waterproof Liner, $17) because this season is all about the '90s and the lips must be lined.
But the best, most wonderful item in the collection is the Love Me Dew moisturizing lip crayon ($16). Hydrating and packed with Vitamin E, the thick crayon is the easiest to apply lip color I have ever used and totally lives up to its name. If I was banished to a desert island with only one beauty product I would take this with me because I bet it could double as a blush.
For the eyes, Laura Geller Beauty has released two palettes of its Crème Glaze Trio Baked Eyeshadow: Golden Sunset and Sandy Lagoon ($29 each). The "foil-like" trios include anti-oxidants from white tea extract and Vitamin E and the saturated hues last all day. I am at this very moment rocking the Sandy Lagoon palette which includes a neutral taupe, a cocoa brown and a striking bright blue which, so far, I have only had the guts to use as a liner.
Laura Geller Beauty's spring line, including the new Spackle Undereye Primer ($24) and the Triple Duty Palette ($36, which includes a concealer, camouflage for blemishes and a primer powder to "set" your face) are available at Ulta, Ulta.com, QVC and QVC.com; Nordstrom.com and LauraGeller.com.
Baume de Rose 10th Anniversary
Nothing smells better than roses, unless it's the rosy scent of By Terry Baume de Rose, the secret celeb-fave balm that softens lips, cuticles or whatever (works great on rough elbows).
The pretty pink balm, $60 (yes, it is pricey but it lasts a long time), includes Rose Essential Wax, Pastel Oil, Shea Butter, UV filters (SPF 15) and Vitamin E that leaves your lips feeling soft and smooth.
I put a little on at night before bed and first thing in the morning – after exfoliating my lips with warm water and a rough cloth — and my smile stays moisturized all day.
The cult-fave is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a limited edition silver heart jar available at Barneys.com, SpaceNK.com and Beauty.com as well as SpaceNK shops in Bloomingdale's.
H&M's new wedding dress is sheer genius
Everyone's favorite Swedish fast fashion retailer H&M just made planning the perfect wedding loads easier and less expensive by introducing its first wedding dress – for the easy-on-the-budget price of $99.
The dress, Grecian style with a sheer top and silvery embroidery at the shoulder, isn't just priced to suit every budget; it's in a silhouette that would flatter any figure.
While the retailer has made some forays into bridal fashion before as part of collaborations with designers, this is the first time it has produced a wedding gown under its brand. It's a launch that is sure to change the landscape for bridal fashion to come; the availability of pretty, fashionable bridal gown for less than $100 means that even if it is for the most special day of your life you don't have to spend a year's salary on a dress you'll (hopefully) only wear once.
The dresses will be available online and in select stores later this month.

White House, nonprofit groups battle over charitable deductions
Source: Washington Post
But the White House is also looking to limit the charitable deduction for high-income earners, and that has prompted frustration and resistance, with leaders of major nonprofit organizations, such as the United Way, the American Red Cross and Lutheran Services of America, closing ranks in opposing any change to the deduction.
Its all castor oil, said Diana Aviv, president of Independent Sector, an umbrella group representing many nonprofits. And the members of the nonprofit sector I represent dont want any part of it. Its a medicine were not willing to drink.
The frustration stems in part from what some nonprofit leaders describe as a philosophical disagreement between Obama and the non-profit sector. The president has framed the tax deduction as a benefit for the wealthy, they say, while in their view the deduction is a benefit for charities that use the money to help the needy.
But Kies acknowledged that no one knows exactly how much reducing the deduction would impact giving. A report last year by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University concluded that the effect of Obamas proposals to reduce the charitable deduction and raise tax rates for the wealthy would be a relatively modest decline of up to 1.3 percent in itemized giving, or $2.43 billion a year. Other estimates have ranged as high as $7 billion a year.
Some in the sector are skeptical that there would be any significant change at all.

I think the President is wrong on this one. Incentivizing the well-off to help the less fortunate isn't a "benefit for the wealthy." Losing as much as $7 billion would really hurt social service agencies. There have been other deductions that have been talked about to get rid of; that conversation should continue, but I think the charitable deduction shouldn't be part of any "fiscal cliff compromise."
As Tocqueville noted, civil society and nonprofits are such an important part of a progressive society. They are laboratories for new initiatives and methods that can make huge impacts helping those in need.
It's such an important issue. I hope others agree that this needs a serious discussion and, at the very least, should be separate from any last-minute negotiations.

1. First off, your source is the WAPO. Is it factual, or another fabrication?
The fiscal bluff fiasco has been red meat to those who make shit up.
Secondly, the rich give very little to these organizations. The numbers are out there.

2. I have a problem with "charity" that provides only "fish" & not "the fishing pole", i.e. it doesn't
solve what problems it could solve and, in many cases, finances jobs on the backs of those who could be doing that work themselves, perhaps more efficiently, and more effectively, and for significantly less.
I know that not all charity falls into this category, a.k.a. noblesse oblige, but I have seen enough of it up front and very personal in the care of the elders in my family that I am quite interested in addressing this problem before I find myself at the mercy of professional, not-for-profit, do-gooders who aren't worth what they are being paid.

3. I think its effect is over stated
I'm not all that convinced that the uber wealthy will particularly stop donating. You may see SOME declines, but the vast majority of that will be in vanity charities that people start as mostly a tax dodge, and/or as a way of employing friends and families.

4. Start collecting on churches who politicize. That should solve our national debt problem.
And create us some good jobs in the meantime!

5. This way or that way
I wonder which organization gets the best results for the buck, Us Govt or United Way?
I wonder what proportion of the money given by the rich to charity is given to real charities that do legit work for those in need VS how much is donated to designer charities who are actually special interest groups and political movements?
Right now, our purely voluntary donation system is serving the rich far more than those with needs. I would argue that taxing is, in effect, involuntary donation. So I say tax the rich on their money. The government can provide the social services. That is part of its function.
If your country has universal health care, you dont need the rich to feel like giving for poor people to get health care. For example. Right now, a rich person donates a bit, and we talk about how much they are needed. But many more do not give. Or give to self serving causes, and receive financial gain. Such as Romney donating millions to the Mormon church and writing it off as charity.
Charities are needed when there are gaps that need filled. In a better regulated and properly taxed system, those who give of their own free will, not for personal financial gain, will be plenty to fill the remaining gaps.

7. Nuke it. It unduly aligns the common interest with the interests of millionaires.
Sure some (or even many!) of those millionaires give to good causes but at the end of the day that's tax revenue being allocated to THEIR causes.
There will still be donating, just reduced by the marginal tax rate of the donators for the donators that were donating their preference plus their tax benefit. And I'm sure there are donators that donate regardless of tax benefits so they'll continue to donate the same amount.

8. It's hard to believe the deduction has no impact on middle-class giving:
somebody paying 33% in taxes gets to give $100 but with an actual out-of-pocket bottom-line cost of $67
We could probably tighten up the rules on what constitutes a charitable organization: there do seem to be a lot of "charitable organization" that do very little charitable work, other than paying somebody a huge salary

Elizabeth Forward School District to purchase utility services through consortiums
Elizabeth Forward School District will continue its participation in the Western Pennsylvania Electric and Natural Gas Consortiums for the purchase of utility services during the next three years.
The school board approved the agreement at its meeting on Thursday. It will run for electrical service through January 2015 and for gas service through July 2015.
The board approved a month-long "skill building summer school program" for the extended school year beginning July 1. It will be conducted weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with teachers reporting at 8:30 a.m. District money will be supplemented by IDEA or Individuals with Disabilities Education Act funding.
Personnel actions were approved included several involving the high school band: Logan Orange was named indoor percussion assistant, Colin Humphrey indoor percussion associate, Melanie Lewis the colorguard assistant and Kelley Revak and Anthony Palmiscno as volunteer indoor assistants, all for the remainder of the 2013-14 school year.
The board approved a publisher agreement with Through Process Enterprises of Ellwood City effective through Dec. 31.
The board will send teacher Bernice Kirby to the Pennsylvania Association of Federal Program Coordinators at Seven Springs April 27-30 at a cost of $1,500; teacher Timothy Wesolowski to the Advanced Placement Summer Institute at South Fayette High School June 23-26 at a cost of $1,132; and teachers Lisa Spang and Angie Milliren to the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association conference in Hershey March 26-29 at a cost of $1,751.
The board granted a leave of absence to teacher Bryan Weibl and accepted the resignation of substitute custodian Margaret Kuhn.

At a south Belfast internet cafe, a group of students are browsing the web.
Most are more interested in clicking on music or chat sites than anything political. But Sean tells me he does talk politics when he surfs the net.
"People from America tend to raise the topic of Northern Ireland. People from here find it boring - we have to live it - but I would answer questions when Americans ask me what it's like here".
Richard doesn't know much about political websites, but he has heard of blogging, short for keeping a log on the web.
"I would consider doing it", he says, "but I wouldn't use my own name."
Not all Belfast web users are so shy. Mick Fealty set up the Slugger O'Toole web site about 18 months ago.
Initially, he regarded it as a personal site to pursue his own research interests in Northern Ireland politics.
But soon the number of visitors was growing from 100 to 200. Now the site averages 2,000 hits a day.
Although Fealty lives in England, his Slugger site attracts Northern Ireland web users with pseudonyms like Belfast Gonzo, Fluffy and Ulster Decides.
There are also regular contributors happy to use their own names, among them a number of elected politicians.
Newton Emerson, who edits the satirical web site, the Portadown News, sees this partial abandonment of anonymity as a breakthrough.
"People used to say to me when I started up the Portadown News, you better keep your head down, you're going to get into trouble," he says.
"But that hasn't been the case and I think people are beginning to realise that you can speak your mind in Northern Ireland 10 years after the ceasefires and not get a kicking."
'Particular interest groups'
Forums exchanging messages about Northern Ireland politics are nothing new.
With Irish America as an important driving force, Irish Republican Bulletin Boards have been a feature of the web for many years.
But in the past sites tended to cater to particular interest groups with republicans and loyalists talking mainly to their own kind.
However, Slugger pulls in people of all persuasions and none.
"I think that's the joy of it," says the Ulster Unionist activist and newspaper columnist Alex Kane.
"It includes people who are DUP, people who are republicans, people who are genuinely interested in politics as well as some who are quirky and certifiably barking. There's nothing I know of quite like it".
The presence of so many diverse political activists leads not only to interesting exchanges of views, but also to the airing of inside information.
Sinn Fein councillor Eoin O'Broin reads with interest the messages from SDLP and Alliance activists and finds himself surprised at times by the detail they provide into other party's internal disputes.
"These are interesting insights which are useful and valuable to read," he says, "especially for a politician like myself".
'Possible successor'
Slugger might still be mainly for the anoraks, but it can influence how the mainstream media handle stories.
Mick Fealty claims a number of scoops, including a recent eyewitness account of racist intimidation in south Belfast.
"That was picked up by the BBC, UTV and led to a front page story in the Guardian," he says.
On the day Ian Paisley announced his decision to stand down from the European parliament, DUP insiders were tipping Nigel Dodds as a possible successor.
However, within minutes a Slugger contributor pointed out that the latest rules would force the North Belfast MP to choose between Europe and his North Belfast constituency.
The DUP put its thinking cap back on and this week picked the barrister Jim Allister as its European candidate.
One problem facing anyone setting up a bulletin board is quality control, ensuring messages don't degenerate into personal abuse.
Newton Emerson gave up on the chat site he had linked to the Portadown News because he didn't have the time to moderate what he calls the "hardcore of lunatics" who spent all day "typing rubbish" on the web.
Mick Fealty operates a soccer style system of yellow cards and red cards intended to keep the debate above board.
"The rule is you have to play the ball, not the man," says Fealty, who has doled out red cards barring contributors from the site for a month at a time when they overstepped the mark.
Slugger doesn't have a particular party political agenda to push. If it did, its opinionated contributors would probably be quick to log off.
But in an environment where walk-outs are as common as walk-ins, it provides a virtual talks table at which everyone can communicate with a click of the mouse.
And surely, that's no bad thing.

Attorney Rogers provided superior service. He provided representation for me in a trucking accident case. Based on my initial correspondence with him, he went to the accident site and began investigating the wreckage remaining at the site, skid marks on the interstate, and damage to the surrounding vegetation. His knowledge and skills in this area of law made the litigation process proceed in a smooth and timely manner. Attorney Rogers always returned telephone calls in a timely manner. His support staff was also helpful. Attorney Rogers handled the case in an ethical and professional manner. It was obvious that he valued his clients, and I felt he valued my case. I would definitely use this attorney again and refer my friends and family to him.

I recommend Buck because not only does he do a very good job, he also treats you like a member of his family. If you need to get in touch with him he takes the time to listen to you and doesn't make you feel as though you are bothering him, he makes time for you.
Posted by Scott
When I got hit head on by a tractor-trailer truck I guess that was the worst day of my life. When I was introduced to Buck and the firm that was one of my best days. With this lawfirm I was treated like family and nobody could do more to prepare a case than this person. I consider him a personal friend. Somrtimes I think this man works around the clock but still finds time for his family. I was totally impressed.

In the event you find yourself needing an attorney , I would strongly recommend Mr. Brian Rogers. He was a God sent , when he joined my son's case , with his knowledge , responsiveness , understanding , compassion ,patients and care. He and his staff gave you the feeling that this is someone you can trust . It did not matter about the time ,day , or even if it was a weekend , he would return your calls to answer questions ,ask questions , or just answer any of your concerns . He recognized immediately the signs and symptoms my son was having from his injuries and began to get us in touch with the right doctors needed for the right type of care my son needed . And with this ,it helped us to understand why and what my son was going through and how to help him and how to help him cope with his situation and disabilities . He would make sure you had good safe accommodations close to where you needed to be when you had to go out of town for medical appointments or for the case. He would not hesitate to come to your home to meet with you to explain what is going on in your case and explain it in a way for you to be able to understand . He truly cares about the his clients and what is in their best interests. His concerns does not end when the case is over , he continues to keep his clients best interest to heart and checks in with them to see how they are doing and informs them on new treatments, tests, home appliances for the disabled , etc. that will help them to live a life as close to normal for them as possible . Once again , he is a God sent !

Robbie Rockwell Drops 34 Points on No. 14 Jarrell to Send No. 3 Tatum to 2A Region III Championship
NACOGDOCHES — The scouting report has been out for a while, but lately, it doesn't seem to matter. Robbie Rockwell will make you pay.
Tatum's junior perimeter gunner hit seven three-pointers in a 34-point effort to lead the third-ranked Eagles to a 61-44 victory against No. 14 Jarrell in Friday's Class 2A Region III semifinal at SFA's William R. Johnson Coliseum.
Tatum (31-9) plays No. 2 White Oak in Saturday's noon Region III championship at SFA. White Oak beat Tatum 59-54 in White Oak on Jan. 9 and 63-62 on a buzzer-beating tip-in Feb. 2 in Tatum.
Rockwell's regional semifinal outburst is his second 30-point performance of the playoffs. He hit a career-high 11 treys in a 38-point effort in Tatum's first-round blowout of Hawkins. Rockwell, who's averaging 23.0 points in the playoffs, has made 24 three-pointers in four postseason contests.
"I knew I was gonna feel it coming into the game," Rockwell said. "I put up a lot of shots before the game. I did my form shooting and just knew what I had to do to win and stay hot."
Jarrell (31-4) tied Tatum early in the second half, but the Eagles held the Cougars to four points in the third quarter's final 6 1/2 minutes to take a 43-30 lead to the fourth. Tatum's Cole Hughes fouled out with 6:13 left and Javolick Garrett, the Eagles' top scorer last two games, had four fouls when Jarrell made one final run, cutting Tatum's lead to 45-40 with 6:24 remaining.
But Rockwell answered with a triple, and Garrett scored on an acrobatic, from-the-hip flip layup to finish a drive for a 50-41 lead with 3:02 to play. Rockwell then delivered the dagger on a right-corner three off a Garrett assist, putting the Eagles ahead double figures, 53-42, with 1:44 left. Garrett, Klifton Willis, and Rockwell hit 6 of 6 free-throw attempts the rest of the way to ice the game.
Garrett had another strong game despite picking up his third foul late in the first quarter. That kept him out of the game the rest of the half, but he came back with a vengeance in the second half, scoring 13 of his 16 points.
"I had to play it safe. I knew the team was counting on me to come back, and I had to do what I had to do," Garrett said. "The fouls, they were scary because I thought I was gonna be out."
Tatum's typical pressure defense hounded Jarrell the entire game, forcing 28 turnovers and holding the Cougars to 10-for-31 shooting. Morgan Cooper led Jarrell with 15 points, while Landon Ledbetter added 10 points. James Klelpac had eight points and five rebounds.
Tatum's Jahee Johnson didn't score, but played well in other facets with a team-high five boards, three assists, two blocks, and two steals.
Tatum jumped to a 16-7 first-quarter lead, but Jarrell staged an 8-0 run to cut the Eagles' lead to one point early in the second. Jarrell's only lead was 2-0 almost two minutes into the game. Tatum led 26-24 at halftime before Jarrell tied the game 74 seconds into the second half, but the Eagles outscored the Cougars 17-4 the rest of the period.
Class 2A Region III
No. 3 Tatum 61, No. 14 Jarrell 44
SFA's William R. Johnson Coliseum, Nacogdoches
Jarrell — 11 13 6 14 — 44
Tatum — 16 10 17 18 — 61
Jarrell (31-4) — Morgan Cooper 15, Landon Ledbetter 10, James Klepac 8, Wesley Alvarez 6, Tony Brown 3, Houston Stewart 2.
Tatum (31-9) — Robbie Rockwell 34, Javolick Garrett 16, Cole Hughes 4, Klifton Willis 4, Shaq Johnson 3.

Let me put this out there, I made it to 3 out of 4 ipl sessions. It was a very comfortable experience, no stinging, no burns, no rubber band snapping sensations, the office was great. Explained worse case scenario it may not work, best case scenario skin will look great. I browned on my sun spots, flaked, and they fell off just like I was told. My face looked great...due to microswelling.
On my 4th session, I was scheduled after July of 2010. I didn't show up. Reason being, I began to notice drastic changes to my face, cheeks losing plumpness, dry skin, strange scars just showing up, wrinkles developing, orange peel texture skin, odd creasing. I went in for sunspots, I came out with serious damage. I'm a victim and I didn't have any initial reaction.
If you decide that ipl is the best for you, take your own pre ipl pictures, and post ipl pictures once a month for a year. And please keep posting and updating, it will help people make more educated decisions once they have all the knowledge about ipl and lasers.

Animal Revolution: Changing Attitudes Towards Speciesism
Bloomsbury Academic, 2000 - Nature - 284 pages
When Richard Ryder coined the term 'speciesism' over two decades ago, the issue of animal rights was very much a minority concern that had associations with crankiness. Today, the animal rights movement is well-established across the globe and continues to gain momentum, with animal experimentation for medical research high on the agenda and very much in the news. This pioneering book — an historical survey of the relationship between humans and non-humans — paved the way for these developments. Revised, updated to include the movement's recent history and available in paperback for the first time, and now introducing Ryder's concept of 'painism', Animal Revolution is essential reading for anyone who cares about animals or humanity.

In osteoarthritis, the cartilage that protects and cushions
the joints breaks down over time. As the cartilage wears down, the bone
surfaces rub against each other. This damages the tissue and bone, which then
causes pain. The joint space in this hip joint is narrowed due to cartilage
loss and bone spur formation.

Phra Ajarn Gamtorn-Sak Yant Chiang Mai - R.I.P.
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Phra Ajarn Gamtorn, Abbot and Sak Yant Master of Wat Nong Khem, San Patong Chiang Mai.
Phra Ajarn Gamtorn had suffered from Diabetes and finally succumbed to the disease on Tuesday 14th September 2010 at 2am.
Phra Ajarn Gamtorn, aged 38, was born Baideegah Gamtorn and was given the name Gitisopanoe when he ordained as a Buddhist Monk 17 years ago. Full of humanity and with a great sense of humour, he had become a widely respected Sak Yant Master in Thailand. Phra Ajarn Gamtorn has bestowed his blessings on many thousands of Thai men and women who had the privilege of receiving a Sak Yant from him and latterly, with the growing interest of Sak Yant in the West, his blessings have been taken all around the World by the many foreigners who have visited him over the last two or three years.
One Response to "Phra Ajarn Gamtorn-Sak Yant Chiang Mai – R.I.P."
Do he have any student from him.

Car manufacturers have too many car dealers. Although they promise to reduce the number of dealers in their plans, one wonders if such a reduction will sufficiently improve the profit made by a manufacturer from each sale. I am very doubtful. I want to see alternative and more effective methods of selling cars. Does anybody have a better business model for selling cars?

She is his place for replenishment, for grounding, for rest, and for joy.
"Wool can't refuse you the regular quota of arms for annual replenishment," he said.
According to the measure of the giving is the replenishment in vitality.
Hence the above suggestion as to the replenishment of loss by evaporation with pure water is not perfectly satisfactory.
In giving ourselves forth in action, the replenishment comes.
Whether we go to nature or religion or science for replenishment, we must be filled.
Our most vital need was the replenishment of these sadly depleted ranks.
The warmer weather and the replenishment of food and clothing had inspirited the men.
Apart from this, the family coffers are sadly in need of replenishment.

text: ISLAMABAD- The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said today that sense of deprivation was rising in smaller provinces due to the PML-N's Punjab-specific policies. Addressing a press conference here, Imran Khan said "It seems as if Pakistan is limited to Punjab only." Karachi Circular Railway, which was to be constructed at a half price, was shifted to Lahore at a higher cost, he pointed out. "Where is the leadership of Pakistan? What happened to the peace talks? Nobody knows anything," he said, referring to air strikes in North Waziristan. "The prime minister is least concerned about the state of Pakistan. He is only interested in foreign tours," Imran Khan said. "I appeal to General Raheel Sharif to think about Pakistan while launching air raids in resource-rich Waziristan," he said. The PTI chief lashed out at the Punjab government for what he called harassing the youth after Faisalabad's public meeting. He alleged that the PML-N knows only rigging and bullying. He again accused the PML-N government of breaking all record of election rigging.
