Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hi, I am Dr. Skelding. Skin issues are frustrating to veterinarians as well as to humans. Lots of times our pets have inhalant allergies just as we do, and these present instead of like sinus issues with us, they are skin issues with the pet. It is also complicated in pets because they often times have food allergies as well. The answer to treating these problems is to try and take charge of the things we can control like the food, minimize the contact allergens like grass, and treat the skin issues as they arise. I am a big fan of hypo-allergenic diets. I also, do integrative medicine, which means I have also been trained in Chinese medicine utilizing acupuncture and herbal medicine. With this knowledge base I know these animals have to have a hypo-allergenic diet that when the protein (main meat) breaks down it is cooling to the body like Wellness white fish and sweet potato. Us vets used to always use lamb and venison, but those proteins heat the body of and make it more itchy. In my practice we also use herbal medicine in the worst months. This helps limit the visits to us to get antibiotics for the secondary bacterial infections that occur as well as limit the amount of steroids that the animal has to have.
so what dog food do you recommend and what herbal meds?
hes misserable.how do we find out what hes allergic to?
My favorite hypo-allergenic dog food is "Wellness" White fish and sweet potato. It comes in canned, dry, and treats.
I would also recommend seeing an herbalist/acupuncturist to help with the herbal formula. Each dog is different and based on a Chinese physical assessment, based on physical exam findings decides which formula to use.
Try the link www.tcvm.com to help find one near you.
There is not ONE answer to skin issues. It is frustrating for both the owner and us veterinarians, but using western and eastern medicine together does help.
If you want to find out specifically the inhalents that he is allergic to , you can do a blood test or a skin prick test just like they do with us at your veterinarians office.
If you are satisfied with my answer, please click the green accept button and I will move on to the next question.

Retail Debit Fees May Be Capped
Posted on May 15, 2010
The beleaguered banking industry suffered yet another blow Thursday evening after the Senate voted to impose price controls on debit transactions, a move that follows years of begging by retailers for governmental limits on the high charges demanded by banks every time a consumer swipes a debit card. The amendment is in a bill that still must win Senate approval.—JCL

this is great news. I never understood why banks can offer rewards programs that are then paid by the merchants. If I want to give my customers a discount I decide how and when, not I have to earn less so the the bank can get all the good publicity and earnings.

The The New York Times suggests the banking industry is beleaguered.
Beleaguered: To harass; beset: as in, We are beleaguered by problems.
I think beleaguered should be replaced by Besieged: as in, We are surrounded by hostile forces.
But I wont be happy until I see besieged replaced by the adjective Conquered: as in, decisively defeated.

Fairfax to cut more journalists
Page Tools
John Fairfax intends to cut up to 7.5 per cent of its editorial staff at its Sydney and Melbourne metropolitan newspapers.
The publisher said it had initiated discussions with the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance about a proposed redundancy program at the newspapers.
Fairfax announced the move today to staff at its Sydney and Melbourne newspapers - The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun-Herald and The Age.
"The proposed targeted redundancy program would encompass approximately 55 editorial employees, or between six to 7.5 per cent of editorial staff at the papers," Fairfax said in a statement.
"This is coupled with other operating efficiencies, including non-editorial staff reductions that are underway in other parts of the metro publishing business unit."
The company will announce the final redundancy provisions to be taken in the accounts for the 2006 financial year if the program proceeds.

Ok Zakk, I sort of understand, these masons think you are the antichrist or Jesus himself returned?
Jesus is the one they called "The King of the jewish people, The Lion of the tribe of Judah."
He would be the captain of the boat of dead people who have eternal life. Christians supernaturally die with Christ and are reborn to eternal life in Christ.
Archeologists have recently found that some of the Cherokee Indians from the Southeast US have Ashkenasi Jewish blood and know they must go way back to a migration of unbelievable antiquity, early Jewish times. Atlantian times possibly??
Have you looked into your genealogy?
Maybe they know something about you that you don't.
The gold they talk about, possibly the missing Ark of the Covenant (made of gold), supposedly either secretly guarded by jewish people or the masons? Or Captain Kidd the pirate's missing gold? Or pixie dust gold created by some sort of magic the masons are involved in?
It is all very puzzling. I would be tempted to talk at length with those approaching you with these accusations, writing down every clue they give you.
Watch the movie National Treasure and tell me what you think.

The Clinical Significance of a Single MVK Mutation in HIDS.

HyperIgD syndrome (HIDS) is an autoinflammatory disorder caused by mutations in the MVK gene that encodes mevalonate kinase. Traditionally it is considered to be transmitted as an autosomal recessive disorder. As a large referral center for children with periodic fever syndromes, we have seen a cohort of symptomatic patients with only 1 mutation in the MVK gene. Since there are no defined diagnostic criteria for HIDS, we compared these patients with our cohort of HIDS patients with 2 MVK mutations.
Patients were evaluated in the Periodic Fever Clinic at the National Institutes of Health. Clinical and laboratory information were collected at each visit. CHI square and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to compare patients with 2 MVK mutations and those with only 1 MVK mutation.
22 patients with mutations in MVK were evaluated in our clinic; 15 patients were found to have 2 mutations (V377I and 1 other mutation). 7 patients were found to have only 1 mutation, V377I. All MVK coding regions were screened in these patients and we were unable to identify a second mutation. The carrier frequency of V377I in our control Caucasian population was 0.3% (2/739). In contrast, in 344 independent cases of recurrent fever submitted for MVK testing, 8 bore a single copy of V377I for a frequency of 2.3%.
Clinical presentation at the time of a flare was compared between the 2 groups:
|2 mutations
|1 mutation
|Age of onset (mo)
|Duration (d)
|Frequency (wks)
|T max
|n (%)
|n (%)
|Flare with immunizations
|12/13 (92.3)
|5/7 (71.4)
|Abdominal pain
|15/15 (100)
|6/7 (85.7)
|14/15 (93.3)
|6/7 (85.7)
|Oral ulcers
|11/15 (73.3)
|4/7 (57.1)
|Sore throat
|13/15 (86.7)
|5/7 (71.4)
|13/15 (86.7)
|5/7 (71.4)
|4/15 (26.7)
|2/7 (28.6)
|8/15 (53.3)
|5/7 (71.4)
|11/15 (73.3)
|5/7 (71.4)
|Cervical adenopathy
|15/15 (100)
|6/7 (85.7)
|7/15 (46.7)
|1/7 (14.3)
|11/14 (78.6)
|4/6 (66.7)
|Developmental delay
|4/15 (26.7)
|2/7 (28.6)
There was no significant difference in clinical presentation between the 2 groups of patients.
The two groups were similar in percentage with documented elevations of acute phase reactants with flares and mild elevations of IgA. Mean serum IgD levels for those with 2 MVK mutations was 103 mg/dl vs. 31 mg/dl for those with 1 mutation (p=0.03).
Aside from the higher IgD levels in those children with 2 MVK mutations, there does not appear to be any significant clinical differences between these 2 groups. Prior studies in children with 2 mutations have not correlated IgD levels with disease severity. The relatively small number of children with 1 mutation in our cohort may influence the analyses, but thus far there are no clear trends to offer the clinician in the identification or predictability of the disease course in children with either 1 or 2 mutations. Given the higher frequency of V377I heterozygotes in our patient cohort as opposed to the general population, our data suggests that under some circumstances this could be associated with clinical HIDS, although clearly other factors must play a role given the 0.3% frequency in the general population.

Cover band - flashy (Neil) Diamond is a convincing fake
Updated 3:04 am, Sunday, February 16, 2014
Name of band: Super Diamond, with front man "Surreal Neil" (Randy Cordero of San Francisco).
The object of their tribute: Neil Diamond, in his cheesy-ballad, polyester-suit-wearing '70s heyday, inspired by the eight-track that Cordero had as a kid that started it all, including such anthems as "Sweet Caroline" and "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon."
Why that artist? The first music Cordero had as a kid was Neil Diamond. He likes the range of ballads, catchy songs and anthems, and he respects Diamond as a songwriter whose songs have catapulted other bands to fame. Diamond wrote "Red Red Wine," which many think originated with UB40, and "I'm a Believer," which was recorded by the Monkees in 1966.
Challenges: Super Diamond has had more success than most cover bands, performing in sequined shirts all over the country and inspiring the 2001 movie "Saving Silverman" - about a Neil Diamond tribute band. Cordero has been Surreal Neil for 26 years and still gets bookings, especially since Diamond was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. But the gigs only sort of pay the bills.
What Neil Diamond would say after seeing a Super Diamond show: Neil is a big supporter of Super Diamond. He came backstage at the House of Blues in West Hollywood and thanked the band members. "I thanked him for not suing us," Cordero says. "Then he sang 'I Am ... I Said' with us. Now his steel drummer often plays with us when he's not on the road."

The judge at Rob Ford's defamation trial hammered away at the mayor's lawyer Monday, raising questions about whether Mr. Ford went "too far" with his suggestions of corruption to rely on the defence that his remarks were fair comment.
Early in Gavin Tighe's closing address, Mr. Justice John Macdonald of the Ontario Superior Court interrupted to say there was no need to persuade him of the importance of free speech around the city's controversial, sole-sourced lease extension with Tuggs Inc., the company that owns the Boardwalk Pub in the Beaches.
The owner of Tuggs Inc., George Foulidis, is suing Mr. Ford for $6-million for allegedly suggesting to The Toronto Sun editorial board in August 2010 that the deal was corrupt.
"The issue here's a little different," the judge said. "In the course of exercising those rights, properly to be exercised in the context, did [Mr. Ford] just go too far in relation to Mr. Foulidis? It's sort of a jump up."
The Mayor's lawyer says his client did not libel Mr. Foulidis in the first place – Mr. Tighe argues Mr. Ford was flagging institutional corruption at City Hall and did not know Mr. Foulidis's name. If the judge disagrees, Mr. Tighe plans to fall back on the defence that Mr. Ford's remarks were fair comment.
Recent Supreme Court of Canada judgments have broadened the definition of "fair comment" so that as long as a statement is rooted in fact, speakers can express a wide and even bizarre range of opinions on that fact, Mr. Tighe told the court.
"The comment must be based on fact. We know that's the case because Mr. Foulidis kept saying it's a done deal. The deal is the fact," Mr. Tighe said.
But Judge Macdonald repeatedly took issue with that idea.
"How can you say that an imputation of corruption is based on fact?" he asked, pointing out later that Mr. Ford admitted in the witness box last week that he had no proof of corruption or bribery, only a hunch and innuendo from anonymous callers.
Mr. Tighe replied that it was simply Mr. Ford's opinion that the deal was corrupt; if at least one other person could share that opinion, it should pass the test, he said.
"Your honour, if Mr. Ford had said, 'I think this deal was brought from Mars by aliens,' if he could find someone else to agree with him, it's not defamatory," Mr. Tighe said.
Mr. Ford stayed in court all day to hear the closing arguments while his deputy, Doug Holyday, chaired a meeting of the mayor's executive committee.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Foulidis's lawyer, Brian Shiller, tried to undermine his opponent's suggestion that Mr. Ford's chief concern was the process that led council to ink an untendered deal with Tuggs Inc. against the advice of bureaucrats.
He pointed out that Mr. Ford did not stay for the May 12, 2010 vote at which council signed off on the final lease agreement, or for a vote at audit committee that summer that could have sparked an auditor-general's investigation into the deal.
"Mr. Ford rails on the fact that the process is corrupt. That's what he tells this court, but he doesn't even remain to vote to get the audit committee to look at [the Tuggs deal,]" Mr. Shiller said.
He called that proof that Mr. Ford, then an Etobicoke councillor, was only interested in garnering attention for his mayoral run.Report Typo/Error

Another High extraction sandwich loaf
I have not made any bread blogs for a while now, as i was moving to a another apartment.
Yesterday, i saw a bag of sifted wholewheat flour (truns out to be a high extraction, as i was unable to get rid of tiny bran and germ particles through my sifter), and decided to bake PR's wholewheat sandwich loaf from it (Found in Whole grain breads book).
I prepared a BIGA, and a SOAKERin the morning 8:30 am, and headed for work. I used tiny amounts of yeast in the BIGA inorder for it to ferment slowly until i return home 8 hours later. The BIGA was fermenting faster than i had anticipated, and asked my wife to put it in the fridge, and take it out 2 hours before i return (Wives do come in Handy afterall! :P)
I have yet to try SF (subfuscpersona)'s suggestion on freezing the BIGA and then slowly defrosting it in the fridge 24 hours prior to the baking day. I'll try this method soon.
When i returned, i waited for the BIGA to Ripen, and Mixed all ingredients. I intensively mixed the dough by hand (ala bertinet) until i had a smooth silky elastic dough. moderate Window pane was possible with this dough. I devided the dough into 1.5Kg (for the Pullman look alike pan), and 1.3 Kg for the other pan (IKEA's) red pan.
I baked on a 40 minute 500F preaheated stone. For steaming, i used the wet towel method of Sylvia's. (My now reliable steaming method, thanks sylvia!).
The Pullman Loaf Crumb
The Regular Pan (IKEA's) loaf crumb
After having baked thrice with my two pans, I have come to a conclusion that The material used in my IKEA pan conducts and retains heat more than the silver deep pan (pullman lookalike).
The flavor is outstanding, thanks to the formulation of peter reinhart, and the freshly milled wheat flour. I also mixed in some extra bran wholewheat flour. The crumb is soft and rich, yet light. It toasts beautifully too. The aroma of the finished loaves is heavenly.

Momma to DD (12/04) and DS (11/09) .
I survived 16 mos! Ask me about breastfeeding a baby with posterior tongue tie, high palate, and weak oral motor skills- whew!
I'm terrified that I'll never sleep normally again & that I won't find my way out of this.
I have no addiction history. I'm such a prude that I've never even been drunk, smoked a cigarette, or had more than 3 drinks at one time. The idea with the Ambien was to get my sleep regulated, but it never happened. So part of me is skeptical that taking a benzo would solve the problem. Isn't there still an underlying cause of insomnia? Supposedly that's what the Zoloft will help, but it hasn't happened yet...
readytobedone, how did you keep going during those days after such awful insomnia? I've averaged 4 hours/night for the last week & I feel like I'm just at my wits' end. I don't know that I've ever felt so low in my entire life. I just don't know what to do.
Part of me feels like I should try sleeping without Ambien & see what happens. Part of me is so tired I just want to sleep. I'm petrified of being on meds for a long time. I keep asking myself questions like: What if the Zoloft doesn't solve the underlying cause of my insomnia & I'm stuck taking Remeron (or some other sleep med) & still having insomnia? What if the insomnia is really behavioral? Would the Zoloft even help if that's the case? I feel really stuck, not knowing what to do tonight: try sleeping on my own or take Remeron at least until the 100mg dose of Zoloft kicks in.
I'm writing with an update that I hope will provide solace to those of you who are suffering from insomnia. I've been trying to sleep on my own since June 1, while on 100mg of Zoloft for anxiety. I slept great for 3 nights at home & then 6 nights while on vacation, but had trouble falling asleep again after returning home. I tried to stay positive and tell myself that I had evidence that I was capable of sleeping on my own & falling back asleep, that it would take awhile to get back to normal, etc.
By the time I saw my psychiatrist again on June 25, I had slept 12 of 24 nights w/o any sleep meds (Remeron). He suggested increasing the Zoloft dosage to 150. Since then, I've only had to take Remeron twice: the night before I upped the Zoloft dosage & the night my parents & aunt & uncle arrived at our house for a 4-night stay. (Who wouldn't get stressed out about that?!) I am truly amazed at how easily I'm falling asleep and getting back to sleep, even after being awakened several times a night by noise from my mother-in-law's walker. (She's staying with us for a month & uses a walker due to her prosthetic leg.)
When I read posts saying "I had terrible insomnia & got over it and you will, too," I wondered whether I would ever be able to say that, whether I would forever be unable to sleep and to fully enjoy my life and care for my baby like I wanted to. I'm so incredibly relieved to be (mostly) on the other side of this problem. I learned that everyone needs to find their own way through postpartum insomnia; for me, the solution was Remeron, Zoloft, time, and a great deal of support from my husband, friends, family, therapist, fellow church members, and people on boards like this. It was so reassuring to know that others had survived insomnia. I hope my experience will help others know that they're not alone and that insomnia does not have to be a permanent condition.

China's Minmetals Resources could raise up to $HK6.72 billion ($825.7 million) with a stock sale to fund its proposed bid for Equinox Minerals, according to a term sheet of the offering seen by Reuters on Monday.
The company plans to sell up to 1.2 billion new shares each at a price range of $HK5.20 to $HK5.60, a discount as large as 11.7 per cent from its last traded price on Monday. The stock tumbled 5.5 per cent before trading was halted in early afternoon ahead of the announcement of the share placement.
Minmetals, China's biggest metals trading firm, offered $US6.5 billion on April 4 to buy Equinox, chasing the target company's copper assets in Zambia and Saudi Arabia.
Three Chinese banks agreed to provide $US4.6 billion to fund the takeover, with the remainder coming from Minmetals' cash reserves and from equity issuance.
Minmetals hired BOC International, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie and Morgan Stanley as bookrunners.

Shouldn't this category be a sub-category of social psychology instead of a main category? Jaywin 04:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Good idea having this part of sociology and social psychology as well. We earlier decided to remove the Soc Processes from the Browsebars (at the top of each page) as I agreed with your idea that the Soc Processes should be a sub category. We also did something similar with experimental Psy, changing it to Cognitive, and moving some of the info over to Research methods. Its looking better and more trim now. Tom Michael Mostly Zen (talk) 23:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Are group processes & social processes synonomous? Jason Bessey - Jaywin (talk) 00:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not quite. Group processes would be a subcat of social Psy, as would social processes. Group processes would include things like group formation, groupthink, peer pressure, cults, things like that, social processes could be processes that involve just 2 people.
- Whilst the definition of a social group is only 2 or more people, those people also have to consider themselves as part of a group for any social interaction to be considered group effects. E.g. We are 2 people interacting now, reading each others messages on the internet, but we are also part of the psychology wiki group. If we were in a bar, just talking between the two of us, and not about the wiki, it would be social interaction between 2 friends, rather than a group. Does that make sense? Social Psy is my worst Psy subject.

GERMANNA_COLONIES-L ArchivesArchiver > GERMANNA_COLONIES > 2007-12 > 1197670730
Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Land Deed from Tobias to John Wilhoit
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:18:50 -0500
In reply to query in GERMANNA_COLONIES Digest, Vol 2,
Issue 366 re subject ("Who is John Crittendon?"), if this could
possibly be John (Jordan) Crittenden, the latter was born in
1786 in Woodford County, KY to John and Judith Crittenden.
John Jordan Crittenden served in the State House six
consecutive terms; was elected to a vacancy in the US Senate;
served additional various terms in the US Senate, was U. S.
Attorney General briefly under two presidents, was also (briefly)
governor of Kentucky; authored the "Crittenden Compromise"
as a way to alleviate sectional conflict.
While not in Owen County, a John Crittenden (probably
the father of John Jordan Crittenden) did receive a 10,000 acre
grant in December 1788 (before statehood) in Fayette County,
the watercourse being Severn Creek and Kentucky River.
Owen County was formed in 1819,
from Scott, Gallatin, Pendleton, and Franklin Counties, NOT
from Fayette; however, Fayette covered a large part of Kentucky
before statehood. (I did not trace the county formation to
see if this 10,000 acres was in fact the 10,000 acres you
are concerned with.)
This is probably more than you wanted to know about
the John Crittenden(s), and your man may not be the illustrious
John Jordan Crittenden, said to be the best educated of the
early KY governors, but could possibly be his father.

Have you ever shared a link on Facebook only to discover that the preview image you want isn't available to choose from? If you're a WordPress user, have you not wanted that featured image to be the preview image on Facebook. Or, do you just want to limit other people from sharing your links with the "wrong" image?
What you might not be aware of is that Facebook easily allows you to do this using their Open Graph tags that you can embed on your page. In this article I will explain how to include them and what each tag does.
[framed_box bgColor="#fcffc4″] Want to add this to your WordPress site? Jump right to our tutorial! [/framed_box]
What are Open Graph Tags?
Open Graph Tags are nothing special in terms of HTML. They are just a series of custom meta tags that Facebook itself reads when scanning a page. Here is what Facebook says in their developer documentation:
The tags allow you to specify structured information about your web pages. The more information you provide, the more opportunities your web pages can be surfaced within Facebook today and in the future.
The main benefit of these tags is that you get to customize how Facebook reads the links that people like or share from your site. You get to control the title, description and featured image instead of leaving that up to the person sharing your content. This gives you consistent control over branding.
The Tags Your Must Include
Facebook has chosen to require you to use a minimum amount of tags if you are going to use them at all. Fortunately, they are all tags that you would want to use. In no particular order, the tags are: og:title, og: type, og:image and og:url. Facebook also asks (forcefully) that you include fb:app_id or fb:admins.
In addition, Facebook recommends that you also add og:site_name and og:description to the header.
Furthermore, to make sure the tags are easier understood, include the following in your <html> opening tag, following the type specification:
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"
This would make the head look like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
What Do The Tags Do?
Now that we have gotten down the basics of what open meta tags are and what Facebook requires of you, let's have a look at what each of these tags do specifically and what the markup is to add them. All of the tags are prefixed by og: (for open graph) and the word following is usually pretty self-explanatory.
Consider this as an equivalent of your HTML <h1> tag or whatever tag you are using for your page headline. This is used to grab the title of the link when sharing a link to Facebook. The benefit of specifying this in an open graph tag is that you can exclude your site name if you'd like, something which likely is in your page <title> tag.
<meta property="og:title" content="5 Time Saving Notebooks and Sketchbooks for Web Designers"/>
One of the less self-explanatory tags is the og:type tag. Basically, since Open Graph is a protocol used to interact with your Facebook profile and experience, types are a number of pre-defined, real-life objects that say something about the contents of the page. If you are posting a review of a book you would want to use "book" as the type as an example. Facebook offers a comprehensive list of support type objects on their developer page.
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
The preview image that shows up when you share a link on Facebook can be fully customized. Not a lot of people are aware of this and even fewer take advantage of it. By default, if this tag isn't specified, Facebook will load all of the images on the site and give the person sharing the link a choice. This means that ads can definitely be used to share your article, something far from ideal.
Instead make sure that you include this tag on your page and control how it appears. Square images work best, although any will suffice.
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.xldstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/p2-large-200x200.jpg"/>
There's not much to say about this tag, other than the fact that it does what you think it would do. When specifying this in your header, it should indeed contain a link back to the article that you are sharing. It's just another way of making sure Facebook gets the right metadata for your link.
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.xldstudios.com/2011/11/02/5-time-saving-notebooks-and-sketchbooks-for-web-designers/"/>
Facebook really likes to know which of their users or pages are connecting with Facebook to use the open meta tags. If you want to use all the power of a Facebook application as a base for your website sharing, you should go ahead and use the fb:app_id tag and enter the ID of the app that you create.
If you on the other hand just like to connect your website with Facebook's sharing functions via your personal account, using the fb:admins tag and your own User ID (not your username or nice name, but the numerical ID) will be just enough.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="2618000377458"/>
Another tag that is rather self-explanatory is og:site_name. Just fill it with the normal name of your website as Facebook uses this as a base to write from where a user shared the content.
<meta property="og:site_name" content="XLD Studios"/>
Finally, just like any search engine needs a good description, so does your page that is destined to be shared on Facebook. By specifying a custom description, you can control what appears when a user shares the content on Facebook and can try to tailor it so that more users click on the link and read your article, or keep sharing it.
<meta property="og:description" content="Explore 5 different notebooks and sketchbooks perfect for the designer wishing to do sketches away from the computer."/>
WordPress Users: How Do You Do This?
If you are using WordPress you need to think in a slightly more dynamic way if you choose to add the tags by hand to your header.php, or through your functions.php, hooking into the WordPress wp_head(); function.
Later this week, I will be showing you how to set your theme up for the Open Graph tags in a good way, using proper WordPress coding principles and supporting all of the parameters discussed here today, including setting an image tag that will for blog entries be the same as your featured image and for your home page be a custom logo that you can set. Stay tuned for the article.
If you would rather use a plugin, basic support (the tags discussed in this article with the exception of the image tag) is included in the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast. This is currently the plugin that we use on new websites that we build here at XLD Studios and favor it over competing solutions such as All in One SEO and SEO Ultimate.
Adding Open Graph Tags to your page header will help ensure that your content is shared in a more favorable way on Facebook. If you dig deeper into Facebook's Open Graph protocol though, you will find all sorts of more advanced use for it, where sharing is just the tip of the ice berg.
Given how easy it is to gain control over how links from your site appears on Facebook, it is something you ought to consider just doing.
Don't forget to use the Facebook developer site article on the Open Graph Protocol as a reference.

Enjoying some quality time together in the UK, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were spotted making their rounds in London, England today (October 13).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" costars/real-life lovers strolled along Portobello Road, both dressed casually as they stopped into a few shops.
Stepping out to premiere her new movie, Freida Pinto took "Trishna" to the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on Friday night (September 9).
Joined by her "Slumdog Millionaire" co-star beau Dev Patel, the couple worked the red carpet at Princess of Wales prior to the evening screening.
Making some time for each other, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were spotted out and about in New York City last night (August 4).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" costars/real-life lovers looked so happy together as they took a romantic stroll around Manhattan.
Enjoying their time in Antibes, France, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were spotted at the 2011 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala tonight (May 19).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" couple looked snazzy as they arrived at the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, with Dev sporting a grey suit while Frieda donned a shimmery green dress.
Enjoying some quality time together, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were spotted having dinner in London, England last night (May 10).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" couple both looked a bit camera shy as they made their exit from Scotts Restaurant in Mayfair, carrying some shopping bags.
Finished up with a stay north of the border, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were busy gearing up for an outbound flight out of the airport in Montreal, Canada on Saturday (April 23).
Making time for some physical fitness, Dev Patel was spotted leaving a gym in London, England on Tuesday (February 22).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" star kept his hood up as he walked to his car, not looking all too pleased to see the paparazzi awaiting his exit from the fitness spot.
While most awards shows honor the best films of the year, the Razzies recognize the worst achievement in movies.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Good Evening,
You are in a difficult spot. She's 18 now and technically considered an adult. If she is still living with you, she ought to start contributing to the family/get a job, buy groceries (show some responsibilities)
You are also correct that she takes any attention she can get. What she does to aggravate you is just that- trying to get a reaction. Try to set strict limits, follow up with them for example (if you're providing her with money, cell phone, access to a car, etc) these things can be taken away if you're providing them to her.
If she is lying and cutting that is something that can be addressed in counseling (it could be helpful but it has to be something consistent and she has to want to get the help) If she has never been evaluated by a psychiatrist, you may encourage her to do so to rule out different disorders such as borderline personality disorder or any other mental health condition.
Stealing/lying are traits of antisocial personality disorder (personality disorders are never really cured but can be managed if the person is willing to make some changes)
We did therapy and counciling. She is diagnosed w/personality issues. She is on a strict rule regulation. She has no car, no phone. no internet access. She is sleeping in the office on the couch because she "lost" her room. She does chores for food, water, and essentials on a point system. It's not working. She has tried medication, did not find one that worked including buspbar, paxil, ect...
I dont think anything will work. I dont know what to do. It's not the guidelines, we are strict. Its not repetition, we have someone at the house to watch her and follow the rules from the time she gets home - at our expense - to avoid problems. She STILL does it. Now she isnt alowed to use the bathroom with the door closed or have a shaver and her bag where she keeps her things is searched DAILY to find anything she could cut herself with. I dont know what else to do.Please help with some new advise. Please, i am begging.
If she has not been in residential mental health treatment that may be something you would want to try. If you have an individual with a personality disorder it would require a lot more than an e-intervention.
If you believe that mentally and emotionally she is at a risk to cause someone or herself a harm, usually the probate judge in your state can mandate someone to be brought to a clinic and held there for an evaluation for up to 72 h/the sheriff dept picks the person from their home and brings them there.
If you believe that she will agree to treatment, then the residential option would be something to explore.

a practical guide to investing in bonds, bond funds, and other fixed income securities
The news media and the U.S. government publish data on TIPS. I also created several spreadsheets to help with the calculations.
Wall Street Journal, TIPS Market Data. This web page from the Wall Street Journal shows yield on specific issues of TIPS. It's updated once a day after the market closes. It also keeps an archive of the prices and yields in the past. The prices on this page use the 1/32 convention. 99.01 means 99 plus 1/32 which equals 99.03125 in decimal.
Bloomberg, Government Bonds. Instead of showing the yield on every TIPS issue, this web page from Bloomberg lists yield for only four issues as a representative sample. It's updated in real time when the market is open.
U.S. Treasury, Daily Treasury Real Yield Curve Rates. This web page from U.S. Treasury lists constant maturity yields for four maturities. The yields are extrapolated to exactly 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, and 20 years even if there are no actual bonds that mature at those exact marks. The data are updated daily after the market closes.
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, charts for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year TIPS yield. Using the same constant maturity yields data from U.S. Treasury, these charts show where the yields have been in the recent past. Because the Treasury changed their extrapolation methodology recently on December 1, 2008, historical comparison crossing the 12/01/2008 date isn't as meaningful as otherwise. The charts are updated daily with a few days of lag from the U.S. Treasury data.
Bob Hinkley, TIPS Data Bank. Data for all TIPS ever issued: index ratios, interest (paid and accrued), and OID. Useful for validating brokerage confirmations and 1099 tax forms. Also all TIPS auction results, and CPI annualized changes since 1961. Updated monthly. November update shows year's OID to aid in projecting taxable income.
I also created several spreadsheets for TIPS.

Have you ever tried to do a defrag using the Windows defragmenting utility? It does its job, but it takes a really long time. I've started my system defrag and left it overnight before and that just drives me crazy!
Well, I found a much better solution! This week's free download is called Smart Defrag. It has many more options than the Windows utility and it is stylish as well. It color codes all of the different files so you the user can tell what exactly it is doing.
Obviously, it has a standard defrag utility, but so much more too! It gives you the ability to schedule defrags, change the settings of boot defrags, and even exclude certain files and folders. The most amazing feature has the same name as the program, Smart Defrag. When your system is idle, it will automatically start defragging your computer. Additionally you have the ability to change this time under the Automatic Defrag tab in the program. It will also continue to defrag based on the usage of your computer which can be changed in the same menu. When you get to the preset usage level, it stops. It then waits for you to finish and starts up again where it left off. This is a very useful feature and if you have ever waited for a defrag you know exactly what I mean. No more waiting for the defrag to complete so you can use your computer again. How cool is that!
This option makes it so that you don't have to worry about defragging again. Just let it run in the background and it will defrag whenever it has the chance. That ensures your system is optimized at all times. I have been using this program for a long while now and I have not even noticed it running! In the world of defragging, this is unheard of and makes keeping your computer clean and running good effortless!
You can download Smart Defrag for yourself right here. Enjoy!
~ Scott

Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many British personnel are participating in the EUFOR as part of Operation Concordia in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. [108072]
Mr. Ingram: Three British personnel are participating in EUFOR's Operation Concordia in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
The United Kingdom is also represented by the Director of Operations, EU Command Element in AFSouth, Naples, who is a double-hatted NATO officer.
Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which countries' personnel are participating in the EUFOR as part of Operation Concordia in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; and how many personnel are involved. [108073]
Mr. Ingram: The total complement for Operation Concordia in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is some 467 personnel. Countries contributing personnel are Austria; Belgium; Bulgaria; Czech Republic; Estonia; Finland; France; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Italy; Iceland; Latvia; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Mr. Wiggin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the facilities for contacting families and friends in the UK for reservists are the same as for regular armed forces serving in the Gulf. [107975]
Dr. Moonie: Yes. There is absolutely no distinction between members of the regular and reserve forces. Both have access to exactly the same welfare package which includes facilities for contacting friends and families such as welfare telephones, BFPO mail service and e-blueys (an email version of the bluey aerogram), access to the internet and family travel concessions.
Mr. Jenkin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether all Type 23 frigates are to be enhanced with CEC capability; and if he will make a statement. [107117]
9 Apr 2003 : Column 300W
Mr. Ingram: Discussions on the number of Type 23 frigates to undergo full ship fitment of United Kingdom Co-operative Engagement Capability (CEC) will be taken at Main Gate investment decision in 2005. Analysis suggests that fitment to seven Type 23s will provide the most cost-effective way to introduce the UK CEC capability at the earliest opportunity. This will provide a sufficient force to develop the usage and tactics of the system and also to provide a robust network to interact with CEC in the Type 45 Destroyer.
Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development pursuant to her written statement of 1 April 2003, Official Report, column 51WS, on Afghanistan, and with reference to the Afghanistan Development Forum in March, what steps her Department are taking to encourage the fulfilment of pledges made in Tokyo and reiterated in Oslo in December 2002. [107841]
Clare Short: The majority of donors are performing well against the pledges they made in Tokyo in January 2002. My Department enjoys good relations with many of the donors and we take the opportunity to encourage them to fulfil their pledges whenever we are in contact, both at an official and ministerial level.
Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment her Department has made of Doha trade negotiations with respect to the 31 March deadline; and if she will make a statement. [107545]
Clare Short: The Government are disappointed that the 31 March deadline to establish modalities for a new Agreement on Agriculture was not achieved. Agricultural trade reform is critical for developing countries and central to the wider Doha Development Agenda. WTO members must now redouble their efforts to reach consensus by the fifth meeting of the WTO Ministerial Conference in September this year and the UK will continue to play an active part in seeking to bring this about. Regarding the 31 March deadline for WTO members to make initial market access offers under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), we welcome the tabling so far of offers by 13 WTO members, including some developing countries, and encourage other members to follow suit. As to the EU's initial offer, the Government have been working hard within the EU to agree an offer that will be meaningful for both developed and developing countries. Although the offer has not yet been finalised, it is well advanced and we expect it to be presented to the WTO very shortly.
Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what steps her Department is taking to put new momentum into the Doha trade round; and if she will make a statement. [107550]
9 Apr 2003 : Column 301W
Clare Short: We are very concerned at the lack of progress in the current round of WTO negotiations. As I explained in a speech to Chatham House on 25 March 2003, failure in Cancun would be a major set back for both the world economy and poor countries. A full copy of the speech is available on my Department's website (http://www.dfid.gov.uk).
In order to inject political momentum into the round I am undertaking, together and in co-ordination with my ministerial colleagues, a series of activities both in public and in private to advocate the benefits of the round, push the negotiations forward, and ensure a successful outcome in Cancun.
The Government will continue to work to ensure that the promises for a 'development round' made in Doha become a reality.
Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will make a statement on progress with achieving transparency in respect of the European working groups for which her Department is responsible. [105736]
Clare Short: The Government have long been committed to greater openness in the EU Institutions. This was a key theme of the UK Presidencies in 1992 and 1998. Making it easier to gain access to non-sensitive documents is crucial to this. The Government welcomed Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. As a result, more documents are released to the public, while genuinely sensitive documents are given the protection they need.
Much of the council's work takes place in preparatory bodies, including working groups. Agendas and timings for the working groups can be found on http://europa.eu.int/cal/en/index.htm.
Accountability and transparency of Council business to Parliament are ensured by the scrutiny process, to which the Government are also firmly committed.
We strongly supported the measures agreed at the Seville European Council to make the council more open when in legislating mode. We remain committed to increasing transparency. The Future of Europe Convention is also looking at ways to make the EU more open.
Mr. Yeo: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list events at which her Department and each agency and non-departmental public body for which her Department is responsible have exhibited in each of the last three years, stating for each (a) the purpose of exhibiting, (b) the cost of exhibiting and (c) the number of staff attending for the exhibition. [107629]
Clare Short: It would not be possible to list all the events in which the Department has participated over the past three years without disproportionate effort. DFID's exhibitions and events schedule supports
9 Apr 2003 : Column 302W
DFID's Development Awareness role. The principal events in which the Department has participated in each of the past two years are:
Business and trade unions sector: CBI and British Chambers of Commerce annual conferences, TUC annual conference;
Media sector: Sheffield International Documentary Festival.
Staffing at these events is a maximum team of three.
The total annual operating costs for DFID's events activity for each of the past three years is shown in the table. The figures include associated promotional tasks such as support for ministerial regional visits and internal staff-focused activities.
|Financial Year

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what funds her Department has allocated to Guatemala in each year since 1997. [108046]
Clare Short: Since 1997 my Department has spent the following funds on Guatemala:

NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced a $975,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Scholarship for Service program.
Over the course of five years, this award fully supports eight Information Assurance (IA) students, who are chosen by the university, for their two upper class years including tuition; fees; medical insurance; books; travel; a stipend to cover room and board as well as providing an internship in the summer between their junior and senior years.
Upon graduation, the students will fulfill the "service" obligation through employment by a government agency in their area of expertise for two years.
"It is so gratifying to have the ability to reward our strongest students with this award," said Associate Professor Peter Stephenson, director of the Norwich University Center for Advanced Computing and Digital Forensics. "This grant goes a long way in supporting our program."
"This is an exceptional program, and we are absolutely delighted that the NSF has selected Norwich as a grantee," said Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty Guiyou Huang.
Also this year, two Norwich students earned full funding through theDepartment of Defense Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP) grant and scholarship competition.
As in the NSF program, students receive a full ride plus internships, and commit to go into government service for a period of time equal to that of scholarship support, year for year.
Norwich University was named a Center of Excellence ininformation assurance education by the US National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security in 2001, and in 2011 it was designated by the US Department of Defense Cybercrime Center (DC3) as a pilot university of the Center of Digital Forensic Academic Excellence (CDFAE) program.
The existence of these programs and continued focus on cyber security at the national level has been advocated by Senator Patrick Leahy.
"Senator Leahy has served as a national leader for the development of cyber security capability, advocating for the Scholarship for Service program and supporting Norwich University's recognition as a Center of Excellence in Information Assurance and Cyber Security," said Phil Susmann, vice president for strategic partnerships and president of Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI).

The party doesn't need a facelift, it needs a housecleaning.
The men agreed that housecleaning was all right—after it was over.
There are a few words on this last point in the chapter on housecleaning.
No frogs, toads or eels were allowed near, but in the work of daily housecleaning, the storks and the mermaids were great friends.
Why could not they be told plainly that there are no housecleaning days in the tenderloin?
"housecleaning is very different nowadays from what it used to be," she began.
Rested and refreshed, they all returned promptly to their housecleaning.
The work went merrily forward during the next two days, although the season was hardly propitious for housecleaning.
Following our own housecleaning, the Eskimos had one on June 12.
I notice whenever any of our family goes away and gets ready to come back, it is a signal for a mad bout of housecleaning.

Second-year quarterback Kirk Cousins will start at quarterback for the Washington Redskins on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in place of Robert Griffin III.
Cousins said the coaches informed him that he would start this week. Rex Grossman will be the backup quarterback with Griffin a game-day inactive.
"I'm going to submit to the authorities above me and do what I'm supposed to do -- try to help this team win no matter what role I'm asked to take on," Cousins said. "These are not the circumstances you necessarily want to be in when you start the season."
Coach Mike Shanahan hinted at a possible switch on Monday when he said if Griffin did not play this week that he would sit out for the rest of the season. He said Wednesday that he talked to owner Dan Snyder last week about the number of hits Griffin absorbed this season.
"I thought it was in his best interest and the organization to talk about it," Shanahan said, adding that Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen discussed shutting RGIII down.
"To be honest with you, I wanted to give Robert as many reps as he could possibly have. ... Sometimes you have to evaluate, when you are getting hit repeatedly, the risk-reward. With Robert, the hits were piling up on him. I was afraid we were going to set him back. I said, 'Hey, it's not worth it right now.'"
Shanahan said giving Griffin the opportunity to enter his third season with a full offseason presents the quarterback the best chance to "make the leap." Griffin spent last offseason rehabbing from ACL surgery.
According to Shanahan, he mandated the full support of the front office and didn't want to hear about a change of heart down the line.
The Redskins (3-0) are in last place in the NFC East and the move was made to protect Griffin from injury in the team's remaining three games. Griffin suffered a major knee injury in the Redskins' playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks in January but returned in time for the start of the regular season.
Cousins said Griffin is handling the news professionally.
"I do believe that Robert is the franchise quarterback here in Washington," Cousins said. "He was drafted No. 2 overall -- a lot of picks were traded to get him. I'll say it again, even as I start this week, I still believe it's his team. That's the reason they're resting him. He's the starter of the future."
Griffin was told the move was made with his health in mind, but he sid it did take him by surprise.
"I'm sure everybody knows by now, coach decided to shut me down for the rest of the season," Griffin said. "We talked, I expressed my desire to play, finish with my guys and see it through. He explained to me his reasoning. At the end of the day, it's coach's decision.
"I thought it was just another normal week; turns out it was not that way. I'm just going to continue to focus on getting better."
Cousins, a fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft out of Michigan State, played in three games last year. He started against the Cleveland Browns and led the Redskins to a victory, finishing his rookie season with 33 completions in 48 pass attempts for 466 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
This season, Cousins has appeared in two games, including last Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and has thrown for 107 yards.
"I think that it is a great opportunity to show what I'm capable of," Cousins said. "But football is a team game, and I'm only as good as those guys around me. ... This is about the Washington Redskins and doing what I can get a win."
Griffin struggled this season after his quick recovery from the knee injury. But his mobility is not the same as when he led the Redskins to the playoffs last year and was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the year with 3,200 passing yards and 815 rushing yards. In the the past five games alone, Griffin was sacked 24 times.
"It's a tough time -- there's tests going on right now," Griffin said. "God is testing me. You just have to look at life a different way in times like these."
Griffin has not talked with owner Dan Snyder about being shut down.
"That's a whole 'nother deal," he said. "It's Mike's decision."
While Shanahan's future up in the air with the Redskins, Griffin indicated that there's still support for the coach among the players.
"I think that's the general misconception is that players in this locker room want people gone," Griffin said. This is a tough time for everybody. Who knows what way it will go."

This was a woman to whom the normally acid-penned poet Ariosto wrote tributes.
It is as extravagant as Ariosto, and as dull as Wilkie's Epigoniad.
Ariosto and Tasso were no more free from it than were Horace and Virgil.
Not long after the publication of the revised edition Ariosto's health gave way.
Ariosto is worse; Smollett ten times worse; Fielding no better.
Indeed, we know of a letter in which he asks the poet Ariosto to advise him about certain details.
Ariosto has been, after Homer, the favourite poet of Europe.
The common faults for which Ariosto taxes women are cupidity, infidelity, and fraud.
Next in date and importance is the Orlando Furioso of Ariosto.
The author here alludes to the hypogryphe, a winged horse, invented by Ariosto, that carried the Paladins through the air.

After Thoughts: Jonny White & Oliver Brown
I absolutely love these guys, and had such a fun time chatting with them on the show. I didn't tease them aboot their Canadian accent even once. It was hard to resist. For the record, I hail from Minnesota, so my accent can't be much better.
I met these guys through one of their projects, Welcome to Type 1. It's amazing, and before we continue with this post, I'd like to share their introduction video with you.
I just love everything about that. The idea, the execution, and the direction they're going. Everything.
We talked a lot about Welcome to Type 1 and how it came to be, covering Jonny's background in studying psychology, and specifically media psychology and how those things (videos, stories, etc) affect how people think. We also talked about Oliver and his gift with visual thinking and story telling.
But Welcome to Type 1 is not the only cool thing we covered. Turns out that Jonny is quite the adventurer. In 2006 he rode a bike from the top of Africa to the bottom (Tour d' Afrique), through 10 countries, taking 120 days, and covering 12,000 kilometers (7,456+ miles). They created an award winning documentary (The Long Road Movie) that has been on TV many times and is available to watch online.
And just to show that these guys like to keep things fun, they threw in a conversation topic just for kicks. I never knew octopi were often smarter than dogs…
In closing, I'd like to share another whiteboard video from W2T1. I hope you'll take some time to listen to the show and get to know Jonny and Oliver.

I'd love to be better at photography but that's what Instagram is for, right?
I also enjoy finding new series on Netflix and Amazon to get sucked into when I'm bored. Roku has changed my life. House of Cards and Orange is the New Black are genius series. Also love Newsroom.
I went to way too many concerts when I was younger and tend to just stick to tunes on my iPod these days unless the venue/show is fairly mellow.

I've a cat now, too,black with a white bib, perfect evening wear for the opera.The house is under a cliff, and I've my own studio.I am so high here, so high. Clouds spill over the mountainslike waterfalls in slow motion, then float into my bedroom.No one can tell me what day it is, or even the time of year,all I know is it's the season of blue butterflies.I am learning Portuguese, which is packed with diminutives –buttonholes are buttonhouses. I've bought an MG,with red leather seats, which my story in the New Yorkerwill pay for once they stop demanding changes –one tires of typing even a masterpiece.The fireflies move with milky blue lights, like distant trains.We go to bed at 9.30 and read, surrounded by oil-lamps.Apart from my asthma, and an allergy to cashews,I feel better than I have for years. I know it's a clichébut Brazilians really are (which I love them for) crazy. This poem, part of a longer sequence, is a collage of words and images that Elizabeth Bishop used in her letters.
