While most Canadian parents ensure that their children are immunized on time, some are hesitant about vaccination, delay vaccinations or outright refuse recommended vaccines. This practice point offers clinicians evidence-based guidance on how to work with vaccine-hesitant parents, especially those with safety concerns. Suggested steps include: understanding the specific parental vaccine concerns; using motivational interviewing techniques; staying on message and using clear language to present evidence of disease risks, and vaccine benefits and risks fairly and accurately; informing parents about the rigour of the vaccine safety system; addressing issues related to pain from immunization; and avoiding dismissal of children from a practice because parents refuse to immunize. Because immunization is one of the most important preventive health measures, responsible for saving literally millions of lives, addressing the concerns of vaccine-hesitant parents must be a priority for health care providers.
Key Words: Childhood immunization; Vaccine hesitancy; Vaccine pain; Vaccine safety
While most Canadian parents ensure that their children receive routine immunizations (estimated to be >80% of children),[1] health care providers will encounter parents who are hesitant about vaccination or outright refuse to accept some or all of the recommended vaccines.[2][3] For most of these parents, the main concern is vaccine safety.[3][4] Research has shown that a health care provider's advice has a major influence on parental decision-making.[2]-[6] This practice point offers evidence-based guidance to clinicians on how to work with vaccine-hesitant parents, especially those with vaccine safety concerns.
To more effectively approach vaccine-hesitant parents, health care workers need to appreciate why parents develop ambivalence about immunization. Exposure to purported 'experts' who make cognitive shortcuts, use flawed logic and send mixed messages contributes to parental confusion about vaccine safety.[7][8] Parents may readily recall a media or friend's story claiming to show that vaccines cause autism, yet they have likely never seen or heard of a child with measles pneumonia or encephalitis. The Internet, traditional media and celebrities also contribute to vaccine refusal.[8]-[11] Even 5 min to 10 min on an antivaccine website can dramatically alter one's perception and decrease acceptance of vaccines.[11] Despite antivaccine websites being filled with cognitive errors in reasoning, wishful thinking and distortion of reality,[12] the powerful stories of children alleged to have been damaged by vaccines linger in the subconscious and influence parental decision.[7]
How can health care providers more effectively engage vaccine-hesitant parents in a decision-making partnership? What follows are five important steps in this process.
Do not assume that every parent has the same concerns.[3][13] Using a nonjudgemental and nonconfrontational tone, ask parents what they are most worried about and to describe their understanding of disease risks and vaccine benefits and risks. Listen carefully. Validate why parents may hold a specific belief about a vaccine, especially if it is based on misinformation and/or misunderstanding. Do not plant new concerns by bringing up spurious vaccine allegations that the parent has not brought forward because this may suggest that vaccines are truly dangerous. If the concern is about the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism, discuss how the original allegations were fraudulent and that there is no evidence of a link.[14] Correct other specific misconceptions if parents have them, such as "the inactivated poliovirus vaccine causes polio" or "all routine infant vaccines contain mercury (thimerosal)".[15] Health care providers can promote the value of vaccination by relating compelling stories of children damaged or killed by vaccine-preventable diseases.[7] If the clinician does not have personal experience with such cases, powerful vignettes can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/cdctv/diseaseandconditions/influenza/why-flu-vaccinations-matter.html or www.immunize.org/reports/.
"Vaccines are safe and effective, and serious disease can occur if your child and family are not immunized."
Parents may be under the impression that their child is at a lesser risk for infectious disease because of good health, privileged socioeconomic status or protection from breastfeeding. The evidence is strong that healthy, nonimmunized children are more affected than adults during outbreaks, given their comparatively wider social networks. For example, a 2011 measles outbreak cut a wide swath across Europe, readily infecting those who were not vaccinated.[16]
Despite unimmunized children being at low risk of acquiring certain infections in Canada, the risk of devastating consequences from serious vaccine-preventable infectious diseases is only an airplane flight away. Infants, children and youth need to be immunized on schedule and on time.[4]
Parents should be reminded that their decision not to immunize on time can have consequences for others. Their healthy unvaccinated child may spread a vaccine-preventable disease to high-risk individuals. For example, a child might infect an infant sibling with pertussis, a pregnant woman with rubella, or a grandparent with influenza or pneumonia. Cocooning – providing protection for young infants by immunizing those around them – can be a helpful strategy to prevent pertussis.[17]
Consequences – especially when they have the potential to strike close to home – can influence parental decision-making. Invoking parent-child equity can help in discussions with younger parents, who have enjoyed good health and freedom from many infectious diseases as a result of their routine childhood vaccinations. Consider asking questions such as: "Don't you want your child to have the same health advantages you had?" or "Wouldn't you feel terrible if your child suffered from a disease that you have been spared from?" Some vaccine-hesitant parents rely on herd protection from vaccine-preventable diseases[6] without knowing that this is not possible for a disease such as tetanus. Remind these parents that the tetanus-causing microbe resides in soil and will never be eliminated. Deciding to defer tetanus immunization until an accident can be tragic because many cases of tetanus occur in individuals who have sustained only a seemingly trivial injury.[18] Similarly, a 'wait-and-see' plan to vaccinate only in an outbreak scenario places the child in a precarious position. Full protection against many diseases (eg, pertussis) cannot be achieved with one dose of vaccine. Even vaccines that are efficacious with a single dose act too slowly to reliably protect if they are given at the start of an outbreak because it may take two to three weeks to achieve protective levels of antibody.
Be aware of the language you use. Use standard vocabulary for both disease and vaccine risks. Explain what you mean by 'common', 'rare' and 'very rare'. Use a common denominator for disease and vaccine risks. Parents may not understand single-event probability. Emphasize that many disease and complication risks are high, and complications may not be correctable even with the very best medical care.
Framing your message – presenting information of the equivalent outcome in terms of gains (positive) or losses (negative) – is key.[19][20] For example, most people would choose "75% lean beef burgers" over "25% fat beef burgers," even though the two statements are identical. Given that risks can create anxiety, the statement, "A vaccine is 99% safe" is more effective than, "There is a 1% chance of side effects." Similarly, "If you decide not to be immunized against HPV, you increase your chances of getting HPV and cervical cancer," is more effective than, "If you decide to get the HPV vaccine, you decrease your chances of getting HPV and cancer and giving HPV to your partners."[20]
Avoid using academic jargon that can be misconstrued or misunderstood.[21] There are many good resources for answering parental vaccine questions using clear language that avoids academic language pitfalls, including: the Canadian Paediatric Society's book, Your Child's Best Shot;[22] the Immunization Communication Tool from British Columbia;[23] Basics and Common Questions (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/default.htm) and Provider Resources for Vaccine Conversations with Parents (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/patient-ed/conversations/index.html), two websites from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA); and Caring for Kids (http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca), a bilingual website for parents and caregivers produced by the CPS.
Vaccine safety worries are the top concern of hesitant parents.[3] Few are aware of Canada's robust vaccine safety system or that vaccines are held to a higher safety standard than drugs.[24] Both the National Advisory Committee on Immunization and the CPS make recommendations for vaccination based on the disease epidemiology and evidence for vaccine safety, efficacy and effectiveness. These statements are independent of vaccine manufacturers. As well, because vaccines are often only approved in Canada after they have been in general use in other countries for some time, Canadians benefit from additional safety and effectiveness data. This information is reassuring for some vaccine-hesitant parents.
For many parents, immunization pain is a source of distress that is often overlooked.[25] A 2010 evidence-based Canadian clinical practice guideline on measures to reduce the pain of childhood vaccination, developed by an interdisciplinary group of experts and endorsed by the CPS, provides helpful suggestions for parents and immunizers.[25]
Dealing with parents who outright refuse immunization for their children can be frustrating for health care providers. While a minority of parents (an estimated 3% in the United States)[13] may never change their minds, many do accept vaccination if health care professionals respectfully listen to and address their concerns. While this may take multiple discussions and progress may be slow, the result of a fully immunized child is worth the effort. Every health encounter is an opportunity to discuss vaccination. Referral to an expert skilled in discussing this area may help, although persuading the parent to attend such a visit is often a struggle. Faced with parents who refuse immunization for their children, some physicians may consider dismissal from their practice. However, in Canada there are complex legal, ethical and public health issues.[26] Refusing to continue the child's care is unlikely to prompt the parents to agree to immunization and would not be considered to be in the best interests of the child.
In summary, dealing with vaccine-hesitant parents requires knowledge and skill. Health care professionals must understand parents' specific concerns and take time to foster trust. This means presenting the evidence in a way that parents can understand it and showing compassion for the child. Taking the time to do these things well can mean the difference between a child being immunized or not. Because immunization is one of the most important preventive health measures, responsible for saving literally millions of lives, addressing the concerns of vaccine-hesitant parents must be a priority for health care providers.

April Scours
I've worked for Seventh Generation in one capacity or another for 19 years, which means that it's been about two decades since I switched exclusively to green cleaning products. I am most happy about this decision in April and May, when the annual rites of spring cleaning begin.
After a winter of white-outs and a March filled entirely with mud, our Vermont home is in desperate need of major renewal. So we put our game face on, grab an armload of Seventh Generation products, and jump right in.
And that's the beauty of it -- we don't have to think twice about what we're spraying, pouring, and wiping with. Whatever it takes, whatever we need, Seventh Generation is there to do the job in a way that gives us a great clean plus great peace of mind. Using green products makes me feel good in all the ways that count, which, after all, is one of the benefits of spring cleaning.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm still dreading the big clean up. It's not going to be pretty. But at least with Seventh Generation in my spray bottles, it won't get ugly.

I do a fair bit of editing here, and the error messages are now popping up a lot more frequently, and with more troublesome results.
More often than not, edits result in the Whoops error message, although sometimes the edits are actually processed.
There's a much more worrisome outcome sometimes, however - a few times today, I made edits and received error messages, and the errors didn't show on the page. However, edits involving creating new person pages were creating the new person pages, and nothing else.
Fortunately, I caught that one after creating only two new person pages. But you can see how a bunch of empty person pages might be created without editors even realizing it.
I know we're beating a dead horse with regards to wiki problems, but I figured that in the interest of trying to solve these problems, I should let you guys know.
Good luck!

5.0 stars 3 totalReview Brian Hannemann
Posted by anonymous
I am in the legal field, myself, and know a good (or bad) attorney when I meet one. I interviewed four top-tier Labor Law attorneys, referred by trusted sources, each of whom wanted my Sexual Harassment/Unlawful Discrimination/Retaliation/Wrongful Termination case. I chose Brian Hannemann because he was the most confident, qualified, understanding, and fee-justified. His phone voice, alone, told me he meant business and that he was going to put the Defendants in their deserved place, from day one. He asked questions that the other three attorneys never thought to ask, and laid out an absolutely brilliant strategy that exposed Defendants' weaknesses and used them in our favor. What I had thought was a narrow-scope case was actually a broad-scope, multi-count case with substantially more value than I had initially thought. After consulting with Brian, I researched case law and code and found that he was correct on every point discussed.
Brian's confidence, professionalism, and sense of humor are reassuring during a challenging and demoralizing time. With respect to Defendants' dirty tricks, Brian has extreme confidence, hilarious one-liners, and contingency plans. He has even done his homework on each individual player!
Brian's fee agreement is fair--better than the other attorneys'--and he works much harder to earn it. He doesn't nickel and dime for up-front costs; he even credits the attorney's fee award against his contingency fee (unheard of!). He doesn't have a bunch of shark partners or exorbitant overhead; he will work the case and patiently wait for the result. He is attentive and detail-oriented on a micro level, and strategizes on a macro level. He clearly loves his work and puts the client's interests ahead of his own. In person, he has a clean-cut, professional appearance and commanding presence. His materials are high-quality; his legal writing is brilliant and accurate, legally and grammatically (I'm really picky!).
I will recommend Brian Hannemann ALL DAY LONG.
Posted by Amber
Attentive, thorough, and a brilliant strategist. Always returned my calls quickly. Very caring and personable, yet PERFECTLY aggressive at the same time. Tells you like it is, good or bad. He gives the bad guys and insurance companies an education in law!
As a survivor of a sexual assault at the workplace by my own boss, the situation could not have been more horrible. Brian came in and was my champion from moment one. I've heard others complain of lawyers not returning calls, having paralegals do all the work, endless things to get more money. Brian is the exact opposite, his personal attention is unheard of and his ethics unmatched. Now I call him for referrals and advice on any legal matter I have. I really can't say enough great things about him. All I can say is Thank You Brian for being one in a million!
Posted by anonymous
Brian is best lawyer I have come across. He works hard for the best result, does not overcharge his clients, tells you like it is whether good or bad, is very approachable, answers all questions, knows the law, and he does not take any ____ from opposing counsel.

These courses are designed to prepare students with a wide range of knowledge regarding artists and the cultural issues highlighting specific centers of creation. The courses are also designed to help students develop informed approaches to viewing and critiquing works of art, involving not only academic theory but themes such as the commerce and industry of art in relation to museums and institutions. The core courses are offered on a yearly basis, vary from term to term and are open to Masters and PhD students. Some undergrad students, if eligible, can take a graduate-level course through the fast track program with departmental approval. (Note: The 7000-level courses are only open to doctoral students.)
Along with these core courses are offered seminars in the fields of Aesthetic Studies, the History of Ideas and Studies in Literature in collaboration with the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Museums (CISM), highlighting this interwoven educational approach within the field of Humanities. The CISM program is spearheaded by Richard Brettell, whose aim is to provide students with as wide an understanding about the field of aesthetic and intellectual practices as possible. The seminars are specifically designed to give students a deeper understanding of the way in which museums function as institutions, bearing in mind issues of display, conservation, curatorship, advances in technology, management and the museum space as a place of memorialization, especially in reference to Holocaust studies. These CISM-based courses also provide students with career possibilities in the field of aesthetics outside of academic institutions. The courses in conjunction with CISM in the field of Aesthetic Studies are HUAS 6313 The Business of the Arts, HUAS 6318 The Arts and Their Institutions and HUAS 6324 Spaces of Display and Performance, although there have been other core seminars taught in collaboration with museum partnerships and academic affiliations outside of The University of Texas at Dallas, namely Southern Methodist University and Texas Christian University.
In an effort to give prospective students an idea of the courses offered within the fields generally termed as aesthetics, history and literature, here is a detailed list of various topics in relation to the CISM courses and other core seminars which were instructed in the past 3 years sharing a close association with the interdisciplinary study of museums.

How the breastfeeding team supported me and helped my baby
Our daughter Ella's birth was a planned C-section at 34 weeks – 6 weeks early – due to a complicated prenatal diagnosis. The day of Ella's birth, we held our breaths as Ella took her first. The highs were high and the lows were low, and it often seemed that just when we had a handle on our daughter's condition, something would change and there was a new concern to address.
Before Ella's birth, we met with a breastfeeding consultant to help us understand life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and some of the benefits of breastfeeding. Besides being experts in the benefits of breast milk, the lactation nurses at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin are supportive, thoughtful, understanding and above all, never pushy. Not only were they my teachers, they became my confidants and friends.
In between battling medical emergencies, we were trying to be just like any other set of parents enjoying the first moments with our baby: seeing her eyes open, giving her a first bath, first diaper change, first snuggle. I focused on what I was able to do, and I knew providing breast milk for our daughter would provide her with nutrients and make her immune system stronger.
The stress of having a child in the NICU long-term took a toll and my breast milk supply suffered, even after Ella was discharged. The lactation team helped find ways to prevent my supply from dropping. I often looked forward to coming back to the hospital for clinic visits and overnight stays because I knew I would be able to use a Medela Symphony breast pump.
Today, Ella is a vibrant 2 ½-year-old child who balances her curiosity with sweetness and her stubbornness with determination. The breastfeeding team is a key part of the medical team at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. We are certain that providing breast milk to Ella helped give her a strong foundation.
Medela, a leading maker of breastfeeding equipment and supplies, is holding an online contest that will award $5,000 in breastfeeding products to six hospitals with the most online votes in the Medela Virtual Human Milk Collection Campaign. I encourage you to register and vote online for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Your vote could help other moms and babies at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
Please watch the following video to hear why you should vote for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in the Medela Virtual Human Milk Collection Campaign now through November 30.

It's Only a Day Away

The Cliff Lee Drama promises to unfold shortly–tomorrow they say [1]–and I for one am fed-up with all this waiting. I hope he signs with Texas, stay the bad guy (and I think he's lock to go back). Look, if he comes to the Yanks, I'll bellyache about the contract, because it's insane, but I'll be pleased that he improves the team in the short term. If he passes, I'll be relieved and eager to see what the Yanks do next.
That said, this waiting game isn't endearing Lee to anyone. Not that he does–or should–care.
It's raining in New York this morning. The Jets play the Dolphins in the late afternoon game out in Jersey. I wonder if football players wake up bummed when they hear raindrops or if it just doesn't matter at all to them as they gnaw on a slab of raw meat.
In the meantime, check out this loving appreciation of Vic Ziegel and Maury Allen by Harvey Ararton in today's New York Times [3].
Araton gets props over here.
In the meantime, the Knicks [4] are on early this afternoon. Yes, the Knicks. Amare has been so much better than I ever expected. What a nice surprise. It's been awhile…
UPDATE: The first half of the Knicks-Nuggest game today at the Garden is enough to turn fair-weather Knicks fans like me back on. 66-65 Knicks at the half, a shoot-out. Lots of fun. Nene vs. Amare has been spirited, Amare came close to getting his second tech and tossed in the second quarter. Refs gave the Knicks a hometown call. Nene's thrown down three dunks, the last one, emphatically! over Amare.
Can't remember the last time I was actually excited about watching the second half of a Knicks game…
UPDATE: Knicks win a good one [5]…that's their 8th win in a row, something they haven't done in 16 years.
Celts and then the Heat come to the Garden this week. Nice.

We can probably thank the Chinese market—which embraced the once-faltering Buick brand—for the compelling cars being built by GM's less showy upscale division. Introduced in 2011, the Verano packs all of Buick's luxury, technology, craftsmanship and performance into a premium compact sedan.
For 2013, the Verano gains an optional turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque—with a manual transmission, it returns up to 31 mpg on the highway. Highway economy from Verano's standard Ecotec 2.4-liter direct-injection four-cylinder improves slightly to 32 mpg. Advanced safety features include a standard rearview camera and available crash-avoidance technologies.

This is Pantera's fifth album, and not their debut which the band used to claim. In this album, they had completely ditched their glam metal past, and went on to a more aggressive style of metal. This style would later be known as groove metal. There's plenty of thrash here to go around, particularly Heresy, Domination, and especially Shattered. Most of the other songs use a much slower and groovier version of the genre. That said, Phil Anselmo is still using falsetto vocals for this album, but uses them a lot less often then he did in Power Metal, as he is mainly using more aggressive vocals this time. However, his voice would go to shit on their next album. In terms of heaviness, they were certainly at their peak. The drumming is pretty fast and intense, and Dimebag shreds like crazy on this album.
The title track, Cowboys From Hell, starts off with a nice groovy riff that's bound to get you head banging, or at least tapping your foot. Phil sounds a lot more aggressive here. Dime really starts to shred towards the 2:30 mark with a cool solo. This is one of the better tracks on here. 10/10
Primal Concrete Sledge is mainly a drumming based track, and it's very aggressive. The drums are fast as shit. That's pretty much the highlight of this song. Phil and Dime also give a pretty nice performance in this song. However, it's a little too short as it only last about two minutes. It's still awesome though. 9/10
Psycho Holiday is one of my favorite songs on here. The guitar work is pretty catchy and has a nice groove to it that's bound to get stuck in your head after a few listens. Phil sounds cool on this song as well. I especially like when he wails out the chorus. "I'm on a Psycho Holidaaaaay!" That's cool as shit. The drumming stays consistent too. The solo is pretty cool as well. This song rules! 10/10
Heresy is one of the more thrashier songs on this album, and that proves to be obvious the second you listen to it. It starts off with one hell of a riff that you have o headbang too. Then drumming is pretty aggressive and fast and adds to the song. Phil sounds awesome in this song, especially when he shrieks out the chorus. "Heresyyyyy!" He manages to stay aggressive vocally. The song really gets good though at the 3:30 mark when the riffs and drumming speed up. This song is heavy as shit! 10/10
Cemetery Gates is the only ballad on this song, and it's the best ballad they've done, in my opinion. It's very emotionally driven, yet still manages to stay heavy in it's own right. It's got riffs considering that it's a ballad. I find it kinda ironic that made this song, considering that it's about missing someone who passed away and died. Ironically, that person would be Dimebag Darrel himself. Though this is probably very obvious, it's ironic, because he wouldn't have been murdered until about 15 years later. Anyway, this song has a nice solo towards the five minute mark that adds to the atmosphere to this song. My favorite part of the song, though, is when Phil wails out "Gaaaaaaates"! I could sing along right to that, and I sometimes do. Awesome song! 10/10
Both Domination and Shattered are heavy thrashers that kick the shit out of anything they would do on their later albums. They have the riffs, drumming, and overall aggressiveness that your typical thrash metal song has. Shattered, in particular, is very fast and Phil is certainly at his peak here vocally. His vocals are almost godly in this song. His singing alone would make the song, but add one awesome solo from Dimebag, and you get one monster of a song. Both of these songs get a 10/10.
Clash With Reality is another groovy thrash song. Phil's vocals on this song are awesome, he mainly uses his falsetto vocals here. The riffs are pretty heavy as well. The song kinda drags a little though. It's still good though. 9/10
Medicine Man, Message In Blood, and The Sleep are all decent groove metal songs. They lag a little, and get pretty boring after a while, but they still piss on most of the stuff they would do later. Dimebag gives out a nice performance in all of these songs, which save them a little. All three of these songs get an 8/10.
The Art Of Shredding is a cool song that's about shredding. Dimebag does just that in this song, as the riffs are heavy, and there's a bit of a variety of different riffs in this song, and the solo is cool too. The guitar work in this song is just purely awesome. Phil gives out a nice performance as well. 9/10
Overall, this album is heavy as well as aggressive. However, it was this album that would push Pantera even further into the mainstream, and therefore would encourage them to stick to trends.
Their next album isn't half as good as this one, and it would go to show that being "tough" and "badass" is more important to them then the music itself.

As summer winds down, here are a few topics that have come to mind lately.
You've been chopped!
I'm not a good cook, but I love watching shows on the Food Channel such as "Chopped," "Iron Chef" and "Cupcake Wars."
It's just amazing to see the talent of the chefs and bakers - how they approach ingredients they've never worked with, cook without measuring and present their food beautifully.
I recently watched an episode of "Chopped: Grill Masters" where the contestants used mystery ingredients in the appetizer, entrée and dessert they prepared, primarily by grilling. The five-part series was filmed outside at Old Tucson Studios over nine days. It provided a beautiful backdrop to the show.
Election overload
I am getting so weary of the political races - from Romney and Obama to the local primary elections. I skip news articles and television clips on the races. I ignore the candidates' signs that crowd the main intersections of Tucson. Those signs, however, have sparked my sons' interest in politics.
While I'm focused on driving, Preston, 9, and Griffin, 6, read the signs and start asking questions. Who is Matt Heinz? What does a Pima County supervisor do? Who puts those signs up? Why did someone draw a mustache on Ally Miller? What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans? Try answering that in a nutshell for children as you are trying to avoid a speeding ticket from the camera on River Road near Brandi Fenton Park. It's not easy.
We got a phone call the other night at our home. I checked the caller ID and asked my husband, "Who is Dustin Cox?" Preston interjected, "He's running against Mohur Sarah Sidhwa and Victoria Steele for state representative." Well, I'm glad someone in our family is paying attention.
Back to school
School is in session, and two items on the school supply list for Preston and his fellow fourth-graders were a 4GB flash drive and a set of ear buds for laptop use. Computers and iPads are in the classrooms on a regular basis, and I really like that technology is so integrated into their learning.
I was also encouraged to hear the fourth-grade teachers speak about teaching students how to use technology responsibly. One teacher commented that universities will not focus on ACT and SAT scores first. Admission committees will see what kind of Internet presence the applicant has, and what they find will be a significant factor in their decisions.
It's strange to be thinking about college admission factors for my 9-year-old, but that's the world we live in, and I'm glad his teachers are ahead of the curve.

Six reasons to visit WonthaggiRichard Cornish
Published: January 5 2013 - 12:01AMCountry show
The Bass Coast Summer Agricultural Show is a real country show with bulls, chooks and horses. Next weekend come and watch big men in blue singlets chop through massive hardwood logs in mere seconds in the Woodchop State Championships. Also look out for the beautifully audacious work of local yarn bomber Dell Nolan who is covering poles, posts and trees in intricate patterns made from coloured wool. She has been offered an old tractor to cover but at the time of writing it wasn't confirmed if she would be covering it. The Bass Coast Shire is putting on healthy living cooking demonstrations while the ladies of the Wonthaggi Tennis Club will be baking scones for the Devonshire teas and currying eggs for the sandwiches to feed the folk at this classic country fair. Wonthaggi Recreation Reserve, Korumburra Rd, January 12 (and 13 for equestrian events only), family ticket (two adults, two children) $25Good food
Rose Wallace is a former Greville Street, Prahran, hospitality identity who made the sea change to Wonthaggi, opening Mega Bites cafe 16 years ago. It's a lime green chairs at white tables in a main street shop kind of place. Rose and her crew make everything on site from grinding the spices for the curries to preparing the minced lamb for the Turkish burgers. It's fresh, fast and fun with good coffee and a healthy range for vegos and gluten-free diners. Out back is a concession to well known local children's author Alison Lester of Are We There Yet? fame. Here you can buy prints of her work and other quality merchandise. 132 Graham St, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 9am-4pm, 5672 3344Old book bank
In the grand old State Savings Bank is David Norton's Ramalama Book Exchange, an eclectic collection of more than 80,000 books that line the walls of the 1915 building and the former manager's quarters. Norton's pet section of local history has books by shipwreck historian Don Love and a chilling account of the 1986 Phillip Island murder by true crime author Vikki Petraitis. Norton is particularly proud of his 1952 edition of Mary Grant Bruce's Billabong Adventures, complete with dust jacket. 1 McBride Ave, Wonthaggi, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 9am-3pm (open Sunday 9am-3pm during January), 5672 4790, ramalamabooks.com.auLocal meat
Husband and wife butcher team Anthony and Emily Mitchell have carved a nice little niche for themselves in Wonthaggi by focusing on Gippsland lamb and beef. "Gippsland grows some of the best meat in the world," says former school teacher Emily, "so why would you want to sell anything else?" Here they dry-age their beef and make some rather delicious curry lamb and coconut sausages. Emily is a good cook who can reel off scores of recipes for every cut of meat in the counter, a boon to kitchen-challenged customers.Mitchell & Co. Traditional Butchery, 150 Graham Street, Monday-Friday 6am-5.30pm, Saturday 6am-1pm, 5672 1181Going underground
Deep under Wonthaggi, just a few decades ago, men and horses would work in the dim light mining for coal. Men would hack the black coal from the rock and horses would drag coal wagons up to the surface. From 1909 to 1968 underground mines operated around the town, producing 17 million tonnes of coal to power not only industry but our suburban and regional train network, which used coal-fired steam trains until the 1960s. The mines were revitalised as a visitor attraction and underground tours are held twice daily, with enthusiastic former workers volunteering to guide visitors through their quite fascinating workplace. Above ground are free displays and facilities.State Coal Mine, Garden Street, 5672 3053, open daily 10am-4.30pm, tours 11.30am and 2pm. Family of four $46.10, book on 13 19 63Life's a beach
In summer the patrolled Cape Paterson beach is safe for families, while just to the west is the reef break off the rocks at the cape. The back roads around the coast here lead to dead-end roads with hidden paths to beautiful, scarcely populated beaches. For local knowledge see Steve Cousins at Vortex Surf and Skate shop.

wikiHow to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Jello Shots
Two Methods:Make the Edible Shot GlassesMake the ShotCommunity Q&A
Crème de cacao and strawberry gelatin combine to create the flavors of the chocolate covered strawberry Jello shot. To make the shot even more delicious and to add flair, this recipe calls for serving the shot inside actual chocolate covered strawberries.
Servings: 16
Edible Shot Glasses
- 16 large strawberries
- 4 oz. (113 g) semisweet chocolate, melted
Chocolate-covered Strawberry Jello Shot
- 1 4 oz. (113 g) package strawberry Jello
- 1 cup (240 ml) water, boiling
- 1 cup (240 ml) crème de cacao
Make the Edible Shot Glasses
Choose the largest strawberries that you can find for these edible shot glasses. Larger strawberries will be both easier to hull and easier to fill with your shot mixture.
1Cover a baking sheet with wax paper.
2Rinse the strawberries clean.
3Cut the tops off of the strawberries using a paring knife.
4Scoop out the innards of the strawberry. Be careful when doing this, just remove enough to make room for at least one scoop of the jello shot.
5Trim the bottom of the strawberries so that the bottom is flat, using your paring knife. Be careful not to cut too remove too much of the bottom; cut just deeply enough that the strawberry can stand up on its own.
6Dip the bottom of each strawberry in melted chocolate. You can dip it as far as you want, depending on how much of the strawberry you want coated with chocolate.
7Stand the dipped strawberries up on the baking sheet.
8Carefully transfer the tray into the fridge and refrigerate the strawberries for 15 to 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Make the Shot
For a variation, you can also use a dark chocolate liqueur instead of the crème de cacao. If you use dark chocolate liqueur, then dip your strawberries in melted dark chocolate as well to compliment the flavors.
1Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, stirring with a whisk until the Jello is distributed throughout the water.
2Add the crème de cacao, stirring with the whisk.
3Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring portions into your edible shot glasses using a tablespoon. Be careful not to overfill the strawberries because the gelatin will expand as it sets.
4Place the shots back in the refrigerator and chill them for 2 to 4 hours or until the Jello has solidified.
5Serve and Enjoy.
Community Q&A
- If you don't want to make the edible shot glass, simply serve the shot itself in 1 oz. (30 ml) paper shot glasses.
Things You'll Need
- Baking sheet
- Wax paper
- Paring knife
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Tablespoon

Maybe it's not quite Dracula being left in charge of the blood bank, but there is an obvious problem in giving politicians the power to monitor and review the activities of the state's corruption watchdog.
The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, which has enjoyed one of the most fertile periods in its 25-year history in recent years, is presently at the centre of a parliamentary inquiry into whether its "processes" should be changed to help increase the number of prosecutions flowing from its findings.
If it seems an exercise to sharpen the commission's teeth, it is worth considering what this might mean in practice.
The committee conducting the inquiry - which boasts seven government MPs, including its chairman and former attorney-general Greg Smith, four Labor MPs and one crossbencher - is looking in particular at whether the ICAC's functions need to be altered "to prioritise the assembling of admissible evidence for criminal prosecution".
The terms of reference were announced on June 19, a fortnight after corrupt former Labor kingpin Eddie Obeid made the incendiary claim that his chances of being prosecuted for corruption were "1 per cent".
The ICAC has wide powers to compel people to give evidence and hand over documents. But some of the material that has emerged in its inquiries may not be admissible in court as part of a criminal prosecution because the rules of evidence are different.
Damning handwritten notes by an Obeid family solicitor, for example, were a crucial part of the ICAC's inquiry into a coal tenement created on top of the Obeids' farm.
Client legal privilege may protect this material from being used in court, although there are exceptions (including for communications arising in connection with the commission of a crime).
David Hamer, an associate professor at Sydney Law School, said there was "a chance" the handwritten notes could be used in court, but it was "hard to predict" how it would play out.
The ICAC is not an evidence-gathering agency for the Director of Public Prosecutions: its core objects are to "investigate, expose and prevent corruption".
Requiring the commission to gather and assemble evidence for prosecutions as a core function could result in some conduct never coming to light at all. It is an attractive proposition for the minority of dodgy politicians in the state.
A potentially related issue is whether the commission should hold hearings in public. As a general rule, anti-corruption commissions in other states conduct hearings in private.
Steven Churches, a barrister and academic at the University of South Australia, said his state's ICAC - set up late last year - had produced no public reports to date, so people were "none the wiser" about how it was working.
Dr Churches said private hearings left reputations unsullied during investigations and allowed future prosecutions "to proceed with the waters unmuddied by preconceptions", which was important where a jury was involved.
But "one argument against private hearings is that if investigation proceeds in complete secrecy, members of the public who might have information, corroborative or exculpatory, are not alerted and so do not come forward".
The West Australian Corruption and Crime Commission holds some hearings in private.
Yvonne Haigh, a senior lecturer in policy and governance at Murdoch University in Perth, said it was often "more minor" cases that were heard this way and it was important to have a mix of public and private hearings.
Politicians, even the upstanding ones in the majority, may think it desirable to curtail the ICAC's powers to minimise the reputational fallout from public inquiries.
But they should think carefully about whether this would allow corruption to flourish in NSW undetected.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/6/2010 (2600 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
About a year ago my uncle and I were sitting in his lawyers' high-rise office on Broadway, with a view of the Golden Boy.
My uncle asked me to go and sit with him while he made statements for his residential school abuse claim. There would be several meetings, he told me, and he knew it was going to be a tough thing to do but he said he'd feel better with me there.
My uncle is one of the residential school children who have a severe abuse claim, separate from the general claims that all survivors can apply for.
His lawyer was a nice woman who got us comfortable and brewed some green tea. She explained how she would document my uncle's experiences of abuse. She said she was honoured to be part of helping tell my uncle's story.
So, that afternoon, my uncle began telling his story in great detail as the lawyer typed out every word. I thought I was prepared to hear his story, since I'd heard other people's stories of what they'd gone through -- some of them kept me up at night, they were so grim.
But I wasn't prepared. They were things you'd never want to hear happening to any child.
That was the first of three meetings with the lawyer. It left us both drained, I think. I had a headache from the stress of it and woke up the next day feeling like someone had stomped up and down my body.
I've always been a step away from what happened at residential schools. But to hear my uncle's memories made a big impact. Over the last year, I've given it a lot of thought.
It seems many of the sins perpetrated against those children over the hundred years of residential schools became the norm; the abuse they survived was sometimes passed on to each other while they were still in school and sometimes down generations like some horrific family anti-heirloom.
Being part of those afternoons with my uncle made me understand with a rare clarity what he'd been through as a kid. It also made me realize why he'd made the choices he did when he was young, and how it affects a branch of our family even today.
It was important for my uncle to tell his story. His secrets were no longer secrets. They are his truth.
They say the truth can set you free, and I think it can if you share it with others, let go of the shame, forgive yourself and those who trespassed against you. Let yourself heal.
From June 16 to 19, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) will be holding its first national event down at The Forks. Former residential school students, teachers and other staff are welcome to come and share their stories with the commission.
This was a hidden part of Canadian history that needs to be uncovered as much as possible.
There will be many stories to tell, some painful and even some good ones. These stories are all important and need to be told before we lose that part of our past that has affected all of us so deeply.
There will be many uplifting activities open to the public throughout the day and in the evening -- a powwow, a play by Ian Ross and a concert featuring Buffy Sainte-Marie, Blue Rodeo and Susan Aglukark.
These events aren't just for aboriginal people; everyone is welcome to come out.
Reconciliation starts with an open mind, and it isn't just for people who were part of the residential school experience.
If you know nothing at all about residential schools it's even more important for you to check out some of the events at The Forks. Maybe then you can learn about this little known part of Canadian history for yourself.

Okay, now this might sound like I'm trying to be controversial for the sake of controversy – but I put it to you white bread's harder to give up than crack-cocaine.
Granted, I've never toasted and buttered crack. What I'm saying is, at least with crack there's a social stigma attached to it, it's illegal and it's notoriously hard to come by.
It's also only sold in places you wouldn't normally go to by people you wouldn't normally converse with.
When you pop to your gran's for a cup of tea, she doesn't pop to the kitchen and cook up a bit of crack for you, does she?
"No, I'm okay Nanna, I've already had some".
"Oh really? What about a little bit of whizz?"
"I'm saying no to drugs, Nanna."
Of course I'm not belittling the fight against drugs but recently I've been trying to rid my diet of white bread and "bad carbs".
And they are everywhere. I often finish work at around midnight and drive home. When I'm peckish there are two options – a McDonald's or Jimmy the local drug dealer.
It's a tough choice but invariably I go for the lesser of two evils and have a Big Mac. Even McDonald's are trying to make us eat better by putting fruit on sale and putting it inside every Happy Meal.
Why? No kid or adult is expecting to go to McDonald's and eat fruit, same way as I don't expect the greengrocers to stock fries and a Coke. It's just dumbing down and patronising.
What's next? Dealers cutting Vitamin D into coke? People should just do the job they're advertising. You don't go to a prostitute for a cuddle, do you?
I, like many of you, am trying to lose weight but, bloody hell, it's hard with all that yummy food about.
Sometimes I go into WHSmith and buy that Men's Fitness magazine. There's always a muscly bloke on the front and I think: "Yes, I'd like to look like him please."
So I grab the mag and head to the kiosk, the guy takes it, swipes it, then asks me: "Do you want a Galaxy for a pound?" Yes, yes I do.
That's about as healthy as I get. You know you're putting on weight when your hand is too fat to fit in the Pringles tube. I cried myself to sleep that night.
I was wearing a black polo neck jumper the other day and a girl said to me: 'Ooh you look just like the Milk Tray man."
I blushed and said: "Oh thank you."
She said: "Yeah, if he'd not bothered to deliver them chocolates and eaten them all himself."
I've been to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting for my addiction to carbs but they just banned me from attending in future.
I listened to all their stories of pain and woe and understood where they were coming from.
Sure, some of them had been to prison and had their families turn their backs on them. But I've also felt that struggle.
For me there is no worse feeling than your daughter looking up at you with her big Disney princess eyes and trembling lip and saying: "Daddy, I'm hungry" – and you look at her innocent, beautiful face and have to tell her that at 3am you sneaked downstairs and ate four Dairylea Dunkers.
There's no pain like the disappointment of a child.
Bread. Just say no.

SPEEDWAY ace Ben Morley cannot wait to take on the Eastbourne Eagles on Good Friday.
The 20-year-old Vortex Hammer rider has been wowing crowds at Arena Essex and earned the praise of team bosses for his performance as Hammers demolished the Birmingham Brummies 69-21.
Hammers team manager Neil Vatcher said: "I'm especially pleased for both Ben Morley, who had a great race victory, and for Lewis Bridger who showed a good return to form."
Morley said: "I did well against Birmingham and it's great to be able to show what you can do on a bike.
"I'm still learning lots about the sport and getting a great deal of help from the other more experienced riders who are happy to suggest a bike set up which will be good for me.
"But getting into the Hammers team has been big for me," he added. Morley's progress into the sport's Elite League comes partly thanks to a change in the regulations by the governing body which came into force a few weeks ago. The sport's Fast Track scheme meant that teams now have to make way for younger, less experienced riders and both he and Adam Ellis are local beneficiaries of that policy. And they're showing their team bosses that they can cut it with the country's best.
Hammers' general manager Alan Sargent said: "The scheme to encourage younger riders into the sport is working very well. "It's only just in and it's a little bit like the draft in American Football in the States. We went for Adam Ellis who was one of our assets and Ben Morley because we knew him and knew that he would strengthen our team.
"So far the selection has paid off. The youngsters race in so-called protected heats but they have both been showing what they can do.
"The riders have the chance to improve quickly and you can see this in the way both these riders have been doing," he added. Morley's own take on stepping up from Rye House to join the Elite League Hammers is pretty positive. He said: "So far this season we've looked pretty solid as a team but I think that we have been unlucky away from home. Getting to race for the Hammers is taking my career forward and means that I won't be stuck in the National Leagues. "I think that I'm pretty good at starts and I like to get to the first bend first.You have to be confident enough in your own start and be prepared to commit early on. It's more dangerous if you are a bit half-hearted," said the youngster who – when he's not training on the cinder track – is a gas fitter by trade.
Recently Morley tasted disappointment when he narrowly missed out on a GB Under 21 slot.
On Good Friday Hammers are at home for a 1pm Elite League meeting against the Eastbourne Eagles.

In what ways can you benefit from integrating your content with the itslearning platform? According to itslearning's Director of Global Sales and Services John Arthur Berg, it's easy to get started – and a partnership can be lucrative, even for vendors with small applications.
"itslearning has more than 2 million users, and the potential in our user mass, combined with our tools for handling Digital Rights Management (DRM) and licensing, can make it profitable to partner with us," says John Arthur.
If you're building a standalone app, as well as developing the core functionality of the app itself, you also have to deal with user provisioning, authentication and globalisation and localisation. But if you integrate with itslearning, you get a lot of this for free.
"A feature many vendors find interesting is our localisation support. You might start by adding your tool in your native language. But we have users in eight additional countries, if you choose to add support for other languages, itslearning can help you reach new markets."
External applications can also benefit from itslearning's assignment settings – including deadlines, mandatory/not mandatory, visible to, visible for, assessment scales and submission statuses. By connecting to these statuses, the activities from your tools will be visible in itslearning's task lists, calendar, reports, grade books and parent portal.
itslearning provides an excellent display window for your application, but it is up to you to actually sell your products. However, John Arthur is clear that itslearning does what they can to market your application – and that all applications are treated equal.
"Since we're an open platform, we have to be careful about not giving vendors competitive advantage or exclusivity. But if you as a vendor agree, we can bundle your tool with itslearning in a tender process," John Arthur explains.
"If a teacher can insert a video about a current news event directly into a test, the resource has gone from being a good bit of TV footage to something more: a tool for learning," says John Arthur.
itslearning's strategy is to be an open platform, as opposed to many other companies that demand a license or partner fee before vendors are allowed to use their APIs.
At itslearning, anyone can access the developer portal, their own developers, APIs and readily available SDKs – free of charge. The only thing you need is a minimum of programming skills and a place to upload your application.
But is there a market for third-party tools in the education segment? John Arthur believes the market is more open than most people think.
"It's an interesting market, definitely. All over the world, the education sector spends huge sums on content. And in the future, this market will most likely expand as more schools and universities look to reduce paper and textbook costs by buying more digital content. Right now, the highest earning third-party tool in itslearning makes over €600,000 a year," says John Arthur.
The sky is the limit when it comes to what kind of applications you can integrate with itslearning – and John Arthur already has a wish list of what he'd like to see developed.
"We really want to see good tools for video and real time collaboration, and tools for podcasts and wikis. Other tools that would be useful are a good Twitter integration, or a feed reader type of tool for the built-in editor in itslearning – this would really make communication for teachers and their students easier."
Perhaps higher education will take the challenge, and let their skilled students develop applications?

BO110620DAM: Anso 67 Special Run Damascus
Boker has continually demonstrated their abilities as a maker of premier high end collectible knives. This run of the Anso 67 has it all...beautiful fiddleback maple scales, USA made Boomerang design damascus steel, and a titanium frame. This one is not to be missed.
The model 67 by Jens Ansø was designed purely as a utility knife judging by its origins, but has also repeatedly impressed as a noble collector's item. Now the time was right for a damascus version and this model breaks new grounds with its skillful combination of classic and modern elements. The handle, in which for the first time a double titanium plate is used, provides the stable frame lock. The titanium plate on the back and the adjustable clip are satinized. The stainless damascus steel in Boomerang design comes from Chad Nichols of Mississippi and convinces not only with its high-contrast pattern, but also with its practicality. The warm color of the front scales of stabilized fiddleback maple and the noble sheen of this wood offers not only an extraordinary appearance to the eye, but due to its stabilization the entire knife does not lack resilience. A unique design that excites collectors and users of high-quality and exceptional knives alike. Comes in a noble collector's box and a certificate. Not a regular stock item. Delivery times may be delayed.
- Overall length: 7.625"
- Blade length: 3.5"
- Weight: 4.5 oz.
- Blade thickness: 3 mm
- Blade material: Damascus
- Handle material: Wood
- Made in Germany
Semi-Custom or Mid-Tech knives are knives produced by a process in which the designer has more direct--but not complete--involvement; parts of these knives may still have been made by others.
One of the older steel Capitals of the World: Solingen, Germany produces some of the best Kitchen knives and straight razors money can buy.
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.
A layered steel that can be either carbon or stainless. The finished blade is acid etched to give it a unique design. Damascus is known for its toughness, and edge holding capabilities.

John's partner David Furnish would not comment on the rumor, but told reporters 'your sources are very good!'.
Sir Elton John's partner David Furnish has sparked speculation Lady GaGa is to be their son's godmother - after refusing to deny reports she was chosen for the honor. The "Rocket Man" and Furnish welcomed son Zachary into the world in December by a surrogate mother.
Elton is godfather himself to two of Victoria Adams and David Beckham's sons, as well as to Elizabeth Hurley's son, Damian. And speculation has been rife over who the singer will pick to be godparents for his own tot.
Some gossips have suggested GaGa has been asked to take on the role, and now Furnish has added fuel to the fire by telling reporters, "We haven't publicly confirmed that yet but your sources are very good! I prefer not to comment on it because we are going to make a statement about godparents later on."

Mayhem # 1700836
About MeHello! I'm Candace Fontaine and I am a aspiring model. I'm still considered an "amateur" become I do hope to experience in the alternative modeling industry. This has been my dream for the past 5 years since I first picked up a Prick magazine and have seen Suicide Girls lol. But anyways, in reality, I'm a Georgia Perimeter College student and making a career into the medical field in Health Information Administration. I just recently moved out of my father's place and moved into Atlanta with my mom. I work at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse for the moment but that is just a job to pay the bills. If I were to be considered a model for any representative in alternative shoots, I would be fulfilling a long term goal of mine to show my passion for the underground scene. I thrive in music and expressing my love of art through photography of my body would be the ultimate goal. My main objective through this site is to show everyone my potential for a woman of my size to carry herself in the same world that people in the media put "regular" women in photography. My style in the real world is very much laid back and comfortable based on myself and economic reasons, but in pictures...I plain to rule the alternative genre. I have dye my hair countless times from purple, black, blue, blonde you name it! I have had my lip pierced, my left ear cartilage is pierced too. I have size 00 gauges and have two tattoos. My first tattoo is a treble cleft with a locus flower around it. That tattoo was symbolized as a fresh start when I turned 18. The other one is a zombie pin-up girl sitting on a crescent moon. I got her last year for Halloween for my love of zombies and pin up girls. So, this paragraph is just a surface of who I am.
My other contacts are:
And once you contact me through email and I know you better you can have my cell!
Thank you for reading a little on me and I hope to become a Model Mayhem!

 Hamilton councillors appointed former mayor Bob Morrow to replace Bernie Morelli as the Ward 3 councillor.

But the 11-1 vote during a special council meeting Feb. 7 didn't come without some drama with Stoney Creek councillor Brad Clark changing his vote to urge councillors to hold a more extensive selection process.

"I made a mistake," said Clark. "We should have engaged all citizens."

He said seven councillors had expressed similar concerns during the Feb. 5 government issues committee meeting to him on establishing a more open search process. Clark said other councillors agreed with him but said they didn't want to rock the boat. They were concerned about how some councillors had already identified Morrow as their preferred candidate. He called it an "old boys club" making a decision rather than providing citizens with a choice.

Clark had made the appointment of Morrow unanimous at the committee meeting. But after the vote Clark reflected on his decision. He said residents vote for councillors in elections to hold the public trust and engage citizens. He said council fell short this time.

"I went home and thought and prayed on it," he said. "I couldn't square the circle. This isn't the first time I stood alone before."

Clark had urged council to conduct an interview process soliciting candidates for the Ward 3 position. He said it would take about a week to complete.

Ward 4 councillor Sam Merulla called Clark "duplicitous" in his motivation. Merulla said Clark told councillors earlier that once council made a decision, he supports it regardless of whether he objects to it.

Supporters of Morrow say his selection was welcomed by residents in Ward 3. Merulla had said Morelli would have approved of Morrow representing the community.

In the gallery viewing the debate was Larry and Mark Morelli, Bernie's sons, and friend Marsha Duncan, who all applauded the selection. Morrow wasn't present during the council meeting.

Morrow, 67, served as Hamilton's mayor from 1982 to 2000. He was first elected to council in 1970. Morrow will also serve on the audit and finance, emergency and community services committees, and the Hamilton police services board.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
UPDATE: With a foster mom willing to take a few extra minutes a day feeding Daisy properly, she has gained an average of 3 lbs/week. She's up to 63 lbs and doing great. She is a very active dog and loving dog.
Darling Daisy is just that, the sweetest girl you'd ever meet. Daisy is a gal who came into the rescue with a digestive problem that required vet attention and she was diagnosed with adult onset Mega Esophagus. However multiple test results were negative,her tests were very good and she is healthy in every way. The vet said her case is Idiopathic, no known cause, that it can heal itself and she can improve. At this time we are feeding and have taught Daisy to stand up to eat her food at the kitchen sink. While this may seen odd, annoying or a lot of work, it's what Daisy needs to expand her diaphragm in order for her food to get into her tummy. We then simply walk her over and we sit down and she puts her front legs up on our lap and we have 'hug time', for at least 10 min. We keep her in an elevated position so the food can go down thoroughly. While some folks use a 'Bailey Chair', at this time this is working for Daisy.
She will most likely need to keep eating at an elevated level to ensure she can keep her food in her tummy.Daisy needs a committed adopter who will be able to deal with her special needs eating, otherwise Daisy will make a great companion, walking partner and Friend.
If you would like to make Daisy a member of your family, please apply with the rescue.
Each dog's adoption donation varies depending on the age of the dog.
$300 for any dog 1 year and younger (BABY)
$250 for any dog 1-3 years (YOUNG)
$200 for any dog 3-7 years (ADULT)
$150 for dogs over 7 (SENIOR)
All our adoptable dogs are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing & monthly preventative and have been spayed or neutered.
Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to meet the dogs. Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
***Not able to adopt? Consider FOSTERING one of our four-legged friends***
Donations to help us care for all the dogs in our program are also greatly appreciated and may be made from our main petfinder page: http://IDGSR.petfinder.com
Daisy, a Greeneville German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Greeneville, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Greeneville.

Tony Scott, the director of exuberant action films like "Top Gun" and "Unstoppable," and a prolific producer of television shows and commercials in partnership with his older brother, Ridley Scott, died on Sunday after jumping from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the Los Angeles Harbor. He was 68 years old.
Officials here opened a suicide investigation, but did not expect to conclude it or to have results of an autopsy on Monday, Ed Winter, an assistant chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, said.
"We know that he jumped from the bridge, 200 feet in height," Mr. Winter said in a telephone interview. "It was reported that several people witnessed him jump."

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food. Difficult to find the location.
our family 'room' actually turned out to be a suite comprising 2 large bedrooms a shower room and kitchen diner with setee and TV. This enabled us to sleep apart from the kids and have time to ourselves. The staff speak some english and the owner speaks perfect english. All staff were incredibly helpful kind and attentive. There is a large field area outsdie some of which is a play area with a water pump and various play things. our kids adored this and it was hard to drag them away. there are parakeets that fly overhead as well. The hotel is clean and attractive and comfortable. The food portions are enormous and some dishes such as the schnitzel could actually feed two adults. all food was beautifully presented. Great for families. Thanks We didnt realise that after a certain hour the gates were locked (quite early actually) and stood outside for ages ringing the bell with out answer. It wasnt explained to us clearly that the key to our room also opened the side gate and it was only by chance that i worked this out. This should be explained in english i feel and left on a card in the rooms. So maybe a little more information in English in the rooms would be helpful to avoid this happening again. the hotel's location is a little off the beaten track but this is a strength as well as it is so peaceful. Tram and and buses run from the end of the lane the hotel is in. When we booked in the service was slow as they were inundated with customers eating at the restaurant.
The manager was extremely helpful in changing our room to accommodate my handicapped wife as well as our daughter and granddaughter. A very special place.
no wifi despite promise of it. They let me use theirs but hardly free access. tough as my teenager was counting on it
exceptionell location in a parc and near river Rhein, though near to the city of Bonn nothing wrong
The hotel had an excellent sand play area for children, my children loved it and could have played for hours. The apartment which we stayed in was really useful for travelling with you children as there were separate sleeping and eating areas. It was excellent value for money.

ReKAP: Choosing an MCAT Test Date
October 9, 2012
Patrick Boyle
Last year we wrote about the proper way to choose an MCAT Test date. This week the AAMC released the 2013 MCAT test date schedule. MCAT registration for the January through May 2013 test dates will open on October 16th 2012. The exact time is not known but the AAMC recommends following them on twitter @AAMC_MCAT for the announcement.
Choosing an MCAT test date normally induces a lot of uncertainty so I want to take the time to ReKAP some things to think about:
The Time of Year
- There are 4 different "windows" to take the exam the Winter (late January), the Spring (March through May), the summer (June and July), and the Fall (August and September). The "ideal" time to take it, is when you feel fully prepared. It isn't worth it to rush your MCAT if you don't feel ready.
Morning or Afternoon Test
- There is no "easier" time. Some people tend to be morning people and some people prefer the afternoon. We recommend knowing yourself, making sure you pick a time you are comfortable with.
Weekday or Weekend Test
- This is going to be especially important for students considering a test date that falls into the academic year. You might prefer a weekend test date so as to not miss classes.
Important Personal Obligations
- Remember that you have a life outside of the MCAT. Things can come up at different times of the year: vacation, weddings, finals, and graduation. We recommend picking a time that you are going to be able to focus properly on the exam.
Testing Center Locations
- This is often something students forget about. You want to pick an exam location that is going to be convenient for you. Just like all things in medical school applications early is always better. It is in your best interest to register for your MCAT exam date ASAP. This way you are committed to studying for the exam and you are going to take the test at your preferred location. (Some testing centers fill up fast!)
There are many things to think about in one's own ideal MCAT test date. The bottom line is taking the test when you are comfortable and FULLY prepared, the key to #MCATdomination!
