Liver laceration is not an unusual injury. Because of the liver's size and its fixed position in the body, it is prone to injury. It is the second most commonly injured organ when the abdomen is injured. When the liver is injured, it can be lacerated and this can be life threatening.
Types of Liver Laceration
The two causes of liver laceration are blunt trauma and penetrating trauma. Blunt trauma laceration occurs generally when ribs that cover the liver (7 to 9) are fractured. This is the most-common cause, which generally happens as injury received in a motor vehicle accident. Penetrating trauma is when something outside the body, say a knife, enters the body and cuts the liver. Each injury is also graded on a scale that rates the injury anywhere from 1 to 6 with 6 being the most severe.
Surgery or Not
If the liver has been lacerated, there will be bleeding. The abdominal area will be painful or at least tender. The patient may even have pains in the right shoulder and signs of shock. Surgery used to be used to repair all lacerations until studies found that 86 percent of them had stopped bleeding by the time the surgery was done. This meant the body had already begun recovering from the laceration on its own and the surgery simply created one more injury for the body. Nowadays, the diagnosis of a lacerated liver is made by a CT scan. This is non-invasive and indicates whether the bleeding has stopped or not.
Common Treatment for Lacerations
Large lacerations will still require a laparotomy (surgery that opens the abdomen) and repair. Smaller lacerations can be monitored to ensure the body is able to repair itself. Initially, the doctor will monitor the patient to see if the bleeding stops. Blood tests will be done to measure the hemoglobin and hematocrit in the blood. After an initial drop after the injury, the numbers should begin to increase. Patients will also need total bed rest for two days. During this time, additional blood testing will be done every 6 to 12 hours to ensure no reverses in the hemoglobin or hematocrit. After being discharged from the hospital, strenuous physical activity may be limited for up to three months as the liver recovers from the injury.

All three incarnations of the fabled sci-fi TV series are coming to DVD:
• The original series, hosted by Rod Serling and featuring such guest stars as Telly Savalas, Robert Redford and Vera Miles, that ran from 1959 through 1965.
• The 1985 update, with episodes written by Steven Bochco (NYPD Blue) and J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5).
• The latest entry, which bowed on UPN in 2002, with host Forest Whitaker and a bevy of hip young guest stars, including Jessica Simpson and Molly Sims.
That's a total of 258 episodes, and fans such as Mark Dana of Carlsbad, Calif., couldn't be happier. "I'm going to be glued to my TV set for the entire collection," says Dana, a 49-year-old physician.
All 152 episodes of the original The Twilight Zone are now being prepped for release by Image Entertainment. Plans call for five "complete season" sets, with the first one coming out Dec. 28 and the rest rolling out through 2005.
Image has released the original Twilight Zone once before, in five boxed "collections" of random episodes retailing for $100 each. The new edition will find the shows arranged in chronological order, and with high-definition transfers. The five box sets, which will retail for $120 each, will be packed with special features, including commentaries from surviving cast and crew members.
"These new editions will become the quintessential collector's version of this iconic television series," says Image's Barry Gordon. "Research tells us The Twilight Zone remains one of the most popular television series of all time, and it's never before been available in its entirety, by season, just the way it was shown on TV 40 years ago."
Image will release all 63 episodes of the mid-1980s Twilight Zone as well, with season one ($70) also slated for release Dec. 28. Seasons 2 and 3 will be packaged together in one box set ($70) slated for release in March.
New Line Home Entertainment, meanwhile, has assembled all 43 episodes of the contemporary series in a six-disc DVD set, arriving in stores Sept. 7 ($60).
"The property itself has a strong equity, due to the classic series," says New Line's Matt Lasorsa. "And this series contemporizes a lot of the older story lines and introduces a lot of people's favorite guest stars. So it's got the same kind of edge, but it's for a broader audience."
The DVD set of the updated series includes remakes of two of the most famous classic episodes:
• In "The Eye of the Beholder," Molly Sims reprises the lead role originally played by Donna Douglas as a young woman who eagerly awaits the outcome of surgery to correct her abnormal face. When the bandages are pulled off, they reveal a beautiful face, but the doctor recoils in horror as the camera shows that he and others in the operating room are horribly deformed.
• In "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," Andrew McCarthy plays the original Claude Akins role as one of a group of paranoid small-town residents who believe human-looking aliens have invaded their neighborhood.

By O. Kay Henderson
Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says current retirees should continue to get the Social Security benefits they were promised, but younger workers should be allowed to invest their Social Security taxes in a private account.
"Under no conditions can we possibly alter the Social Security terms right now for those who are on it, but for those who are not yet at 65, we also have to be very brutally honest and tell people we can't pay out the same level of benefits that we have been for people currently on the program," she says.
Critics of what they call "privatizing" Social Security argue many seniors would have seen their retirement savings evaporate in the Wall Street meltdown. Bachmann argues that Americans will be "far better off" if they manage their own retirement savings, rather than relying on the government-managed Social Security system, which she says amounts to theft.
"That's been really the lie that government has given to people, that you have money somehow in a mysterious account in Washington. Well, poof. The sad news the money's not there. It's gone. Government reached in and stole it," Bachmann says. "For future retirees, let's change the system so that we are no longer funding big government and the welfare state. Instead, let's fund ourselves so government can't touch our money."
Bachmann says if younger workers get to invest their own Social Security taxes, they can pass that chunk of money on when they die.
"We do need to set up a system of ownership where people have title in their Social Security, so that in case something happens to them, their beneficiaries, their loved ones will own their benefits," Bachmann says. "That isn't the way it is today."
Bachmann made her comments on November 4 during a 20-minute interview organized by AARP. Three other candidates also taped segments for the series which was broadcast statewide on Mediacom's last night. AARP's "Video Voters Guide" program is now available on Mediacom's "on demand" channel.

1 An Assessment of the Potential Profitability of Poultry Farms: A Broiler Farm Feasibility Case Study C.F. Hamra A Research Paper Submitted to the Faculty of The University of Tennessee at Martin in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science Agriculture and Natural Resources Systems Management May 2010
3 Abstract Poultry farms, mainly chicken farms producing meat or eggs, can be highly specialized operations. To maximize profits and plan future enterprise activities, a feasibility analysis prior to investment and proper management during the operation are required. Proper management ensures efficient production and good quality products (meat or eggs). This is accomplished by controlling diseases, maintaining feed efficiency, proper handling of wastes, and proper sanitizing of the poultry house. Due to short turnover rates of poultry flocks and strong market demand, the poultry business could potentially be a profitable enterprise. This study details a profitability analysis on a flock of broilers raised for the purpose of meat production. A farm and its facilities were rented to grow and finish the flock for market delivery. The farm was located in South Lebanon, in the Marjoyoun Valley and was rented on a lump sum basis. Production (input) costs and sales (output) prices were used to determine the feasibility of growing broilers in the region. The flock was introduced into the poultry house on November 11 th, 2009 and was managed until it reached the slaughtering phase, as per market requirements, on December 20 th, The total production cost was $10,479 (including rental cost, labor salaries, electric cost, and other miscellaneous costs). Because the farm used in this study was rented, depreciation expenses on the buildings and equipment were not considered in the feasibility analysis. The flock produced 4,428 kg of meat at a market selling price of $3.10/kg of meat. Thus, total sales were $13, (USD), resulting in a net profit of $3, (USD). Depending on the location of the poultry farm and the owner s experience and facilities, profitability may vary. ii
4 Market prices of chicks, meat, and feed vary and these variations can affect enterprise profitability. Examining input and output price trends from 2007 through 2009 revealed the following insights. When the price per kg of meat goes down, feed costs tend to decrease (compensating for the low meat price). When the price per chick increases, the price per kg of meat also tends to increase, thus compensating for the increased cost per chick. Since price variations are critical factors in determining future profitability, statistical forecasting techniques were used to set a range of price expectations for the year 2010 so that sensitivity analysis could be performed. Sensitivity analysis was used to test the robustness of this feasibility study under several different pricing scenarios. This analysis showed that the operation is predicted to be profitable, or at least break even, at all the forecasted extremes of input and output prices including low meat prices coupled with high feed and chick costs. iii

9 An Assessment of the Potential Profitability of Poultry Farms A Broiler Farm Feasibility Case Study Introduction Poultry farms are farms that raise chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other birds for meat or egg production. In the past, poultry farming involved raising chickens in the back yard for daily egg production and family consumption. However, poultry farming today is a huge business that is split into several operations including hatcheries, pullet farms for meat production, or farms for egg production. This paper will focus on poultry farms raising chicken. Chickens originated from Jungle Fowl in South Eastern Asia around 3200 BC (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Chickens were domesticated and spread to China, India, Africa, Pacific Island, and Europe. The main use of chickens has never changed. They were primarily raised for human food. In addition, their feathers were used for making cushions, litter for fertilizers and, in some societies, chickens were used in cock fighting as a source of entertainment. As the human population increases, the poultry industry continues to grow to meet the demand for poultry products in world markets. The importance of poultry farms lies in the quality of products that are provided to humans. Broiler farms provide meat that supplies the human body with high quality proteins. Layer farms provide eggs rich in proteins and vitamins, especially the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Poultry farms are fast-paced operations that can fulfill the demand for meat and eggs, and can be expanded easily to meet the ever-growing demand (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). 1
10 Chickens are fast growing animals. In the past, it took about 4 months to produce a twokilogram chicken. However, today a two-kilogram chicken can be produced in 42 days (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Due to this fact, a better understanding of husbandry practices, and use of new technologies, poultry farms can be profitable enterprises. Each operation in the poultry business has become a huge business by itself. Some farms specialize in producing eggs for market consumption, or for hatching chicks for the purpose of meat production. Many large farms specialize in raising broilers for meat production. Other businesses are focused on feed preparation or on using the wastes of poultry farms for compost production and fertilizing farmlands. If managed and marketed well, all segments of the poultry business can be profitable. Objectives This study will examine the feasibility of broiler producing farms in Lebanon. A rental farm will be used as a representative case study for other poultry producers. Sensitivity analysis will be used to determine potential profitability when input costs and point of sale values are varied. 2
11 Literature Review Poultry farms can be classified into two main types: farms for egg production and farms for meat production. Egg Production In egg-producing farms, day-old chicks are purchased from specialized hatcheries that produce egg-producing pullets. These pullets are either raised by the egg producer or a pullet grower until they are ready to start laying eggs, which is usually at 19 weeks of age (Beutler, 2007). The egg production cycle lasts for about one year. The pullets and laying hens are raised mainly in environmentally controlled poultry houses in cage systems. To make the maintenance process easier, automated feeding, watering, and egg collection systems were developed. Feed and water are moved on rotating belts which pass by the cages. Another rotating belt collects the eggs and sends them to the sorting chamber to be tested for fertility, graded, and sorted according to size, making them ready for delivery to the market (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Laying hens in egg producing farms are usually of small body frame and body weight compared to broilers. They can be classified into two groups: dual purpose chickens or egg producing chickens. Egg producing chicken breeds have been bred and raised for maximum egg production (up to 300 eggs per year) rather than high meat yield (Beutler, 2007). Dual purpose chickens are smaller in size than commercial meat breeds. They are used for meat as well as egg production, and can produce around 200 to 250 eggs per year (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). 3
12 There have been several developments to increase the marketing value of eggs. These developments include omega-3 eggs, folate and lutein enriched eggs, as well as free run and organic eggs. These specialty eggs increase the value of eggs, and have caused a noticeable change in the market (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Meat Production In poultry farms focused on meat production, broiler breeders are raised mainly in environmentally controlled poultry houses. Fertile eggs are collected and transported to the hatchery, where they are placed in hatcheries for 18 days and then transferred to incubators in the last 3 days (Beutler, 2007). After hatching, broiler chicks are distributed to producers who grow out the birds, and send them for slaughtering and processing after 42 days. These broilers are chickens that are raised for the purpose of meat production and have a larger body frame and weight than layers (Beutler, 2007). Approvals and Construction of Poultry Farms Prior to the construction of a poultry farm, initial approvals from the appropriate planning department must be obtained. These approvals usually take into consideration the environmental aspects of poultry farming including avoiding or minimizing visual views, noise, odor, and wastes. When constructing a poultry farm, future plans should be taken into consideration. For example, after the operation starts, waste material will be generated. Construction planning should include plans for an isolated area to dispose the waste material without causing any health or environmental risks, including risks to water resources, until some specialized company for compost production collects the wastes (Wood et al., 1998). 4
13 Due to the type of business and growth potential, poultry farms should be constructed in a manner that allows for future expansion. This should include plans for expansion of feed storage areas, drainage, and effluent (Wood et al., 1998). Facilities on a Poultry farm Facilities on poultry farms are related to the purpose of the farm. In general, all poultry farms share common facilities and equipment such as feeders and drinkers. However, depending on the purpose of the farm, some facilities vary. For instance, some meat production farms include slaughter house facilities. The purpose of having these slaughtering facilities on a broiler farm is to minimize cost and increase profits through vertical integration. Egg production farms are equipped with nest boxes if the breeders are raised on the floor, or, if raised in cages, automated belt systems are installed for collection of eggs. Hatcheries are equipped with incubators that maintain the eggs for 18 days and hatchers that keep the eggs for 3 days, both maintained at the right temperature and humidity required for hatching (Wood et al., 1998). Waste Handling Wastes are produced in all types of poultry operations. After poultry houses are cleaned and sanitized, the wastes should be confined in one area for later removal by specialized companies for composting or proper disposal to avoid contaminating the environment. This confinement area can be used for all types of wastes including litter from most poultry farms and un-hatched eggs from hatcheries (Wood et al., 1998). Poultry litter can also be considered to be a by-product with economic potential. At the end of a production cycle in a broiler or egg-production operation, litter is removed mechanically from the poultry house, and can be used as fertilizers for crop production. Litter can also be 5
14 removed and sold to commercial processors for composting operations or nursery preparations. It can also be composted on the farm in a confined area, and then applied to farm lands. Management of Poultry Farms Feeding Feed costs have a major impact on the profitability of poultry farm operations. The high cost of feed is related to the energy and protein contents of the diet. In an unbalanced diet, with an excess protein, feed would cost more, thus increasing production costs. With low protein diets, chickens would take more time to grow, and could be at a higher risk of catching diseases. Chickens have different nutrient (feed) requirements depending on their type, age, and sex. Rations formulated to meet nutrient requirements produce faster growing, and healthier chickens, and thus better products and more profits (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Excess dietary nutrients are often excreted in the feces. The excess nitrogen and phosphorus in feces could cause a threat to the environment. For this reason, managing feed formulas for accuracy is an important step in the poultry farm management to safeguard the environment, and reduce operating costs (Karcher, 2009). Disease Management In the management of poultry farms, probably one of the most difficult phases is the management of the newly introduced flock. For the operation to be profitable, a good disease prevention program should be available for the newly introduced chicks to avoid any future losses. Diseases can be transmitted via humans, other birds, newly introduced chicks, or contaminated equipment. Controlling diseases from the beginning is important for the success of the operation (Mobley and Kahan, 2007). 6
15 Vaccination Vaccination is an effective way to reduce the negative effects of diseases that can cause losses in a poultry operation. Diseases can be caused by viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and parasites. Viruses are the number one cause of poultry disease and are considered to be the largest threat to poultry farms. Viral diseases can be reduced by proper sanitation on the farm, biosecurity measures, and vaccination of the chicks and chickens (Dr. M. Farran, personal communication, 2009). Viruses can cause several diseases; the major ones include: Marek's disease, Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, laryngotracheitis, fowl pox, fowl cholera, and avian encephalomyelitis (Jacob et al., 1998). Vaccination is mainly done to prevent Marek s disease, which can infect laying hens and hence, a whole flock if the eggs are infected. There are several vaccination methods. Some vaccines are administered via drinking water. Others can be sprayed, whereby the spray enters the nostril or the eye to form antibodies. Another way is by injection using an automatic syringe in the neck (Jacob et al., 1998). Chicks are usually vaccinated between 2 to 16 weeks of age, depending on the type of vaccine and disease. Some vaccines are marketed as mixtures to prevent more than one disease. More vaccination methods have been developed in the United States. For example in-ovo vaccination has made the process more labor efficient. This method vaccinates the embryo in the egg at the hatchery; after that there isn t any need to vaccinate again on the farm (Williams, 2007). Slaughtering and Processing In the final phase of the poultry operation, in both egg laying farms and meat production farms, slaughtering has to occur. In egg production farms, older hens must be culled when egg 7
16 production is reduced. The hen is either sold to another farm or, more commonly slaughtered. At the slaughtering facility, all poultry must be brought to a holding area where a good shelter with sufficient time for rest and water are provided before slaughtering (Wholesome meat and fish Act, 2005). Prior to slaughtering, all poultry are stunned using the correct voltage depending on size and weight of the birds. Slaughtering should be as humane as possible, allowing blood to drain for about 90 sec. after killing. Hot water at 82 C should be available to ease the removal of feathers. After the feathers are removed, the bird is eviscerated, washed, and the carcass is cut into pieces. The knives should be sanitized frequently to avoid disease transmission. After cutting and chilling of the chicken carcass, packaging takes place at an area close to the slaughter house. Packaged chicken meat is then stored in refrigerators before going to the market (Wholesome Meat and Fish (Slaughter-houses) Act, 2005). The U.S. poultry industry was faced with opposition in 2009 when animal rights activists questioned the slaughtering techniques used at some plants. Advanced slaughter machines are slaughtering at a rate of 6,000 broilers an hour. Even with this high number, the world still needs more chicken for consumption. How will market demands be met? A balance between efficient slaughtering technique and animal welfare must be established. Cleaning and Sanitizing After poultry are removed from the poultry house, it must be cleaned and sanitized. The sanitation process differs depending on the floor type and type of poultry house. Several disinfectants can be used to clean and sanitize the poultry house. However, the disinfectant must be chosen carefully to avoid problems with newly introduced flocks (Smith, 1999). 8
17 Budget Considerations Starting a poultry farm requires start-up capital and a budget for the operations. Usually farmers get loans from banks or other lenders for start-up costs (Rhodes et al., 2008). The startup cost of a poultry farm varies with the size, and the facilities required for the farm to run. In 2008, the average cost for a poultry broiler house in Maryland was about $10 per square foot. This number varies depending on the design, location, equipment required, and doesn t include the cost of land (Rhodes et al., 2008). The budget represents the income, fixed & variable costs, profits, and investment amounts for the poultry farm, depending on its size. Determining these values and using an enterprise budgeting sheet will give the broiler producer a clear view of the operation and whether or not it is feasible (Rhodes et al., 2008). Start-up costs represent a substantial investment (Table 1). These costs include construction of poultry houses, equipment within the houses, tractors and other implements, wells and water systems, and site preparation (Rhodes et al., 2008). Usually the farmer gets a loan to cover these initial costs. Rhodes et al. (2008) prepared an example of an enterprise budget for a broiler farm (Table 2). The table includes the descriptions of the farm, and the total number of flocks/birds that can be produced per year. The broiler producer can use estimates of income and costs to estimate gross income, variable and fixed costs, leading to an estimate of the net income. The gross income (table 2) represents the total amount of money received by the grower from the sales of broiler meat after slaughtering. Income can also come from the sales of litter or other byproducts of the operation. 9

20 Producers can encounter both variable and fixed costs. Variable costs include the cost of electricity, equipments, house cleanout, building repairs, telephones and alarms (Table 2). Fixed costs include the cost of labor, insurance, taxes, and land charges. With good management practices, the grower can reduce costs, thus increasing profitability. A cash flow statement of the poultry operation represents the total cash revenues, costs, and required investments that will be spent on the operation (Table 3). The aim of preparing a cash flow statement for a poultry farm is to estimate the available cash for loan payments and other farm requirements prior to the start of the project. The poultry producer would then have a clear idea of the revenues and costs, and can determine a payment schedule to pay back the loan (Rhodes et al., 2008,). The cash flow statement can also be developed for established farms, and can help in following the cash in or out of the operation on a daily basis. The producer can monitor costs, and work on reducing them to end up with a high positive cash flow. Net cash flow is obtained by subtracting the total cash expenses from the total cash receipts. If the result is positive, then the firm is considered profitable, and with that profit, the poultry producer can pay back loans, buy poultry houses or equipment or use the cash for other farm or personal expenses. Feasibility To do a feasibility study for a poultry farm, the purpose of the farm should be clear because this affects equipment required, water requirements, and the type of waste management system that will be used. When estimating costs for establishing and running the business, the poultry producer should consider potential extremes in costs, in addition to current costs. A feasibility study conducted by The Center for Agricultural Development & Entrepreneurship in Oneonta in NY (no date), compares several options that a poultry producer 12

22 might consider when starting a poultry investment. Table 4 summarizes the feasibility of an onfarm processing unit versus processing at the USDA facility in Delaware County. The total cost of processing at the USDA processing facility is less than processing on farm for poultry producers raising 5000 and 10,000 poultry units per year (Table 4). However, it would be feasible to process on farm for producers raising 20,000 or more poultry units per year, where the transportation cost to the USDA facility would outweigh the costs of constructing an on-farm facility (The Center for Agricultural Development & Entrepreneurship, nd). Table 5 is a projected income statement for a feasibility study of a broiler farm done by the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority, of the Government of Pakistan (2002). The study was based on raising 7,500 birds at the farm, taking into consideration farm rental costs and all other fixed and variable costs. The projected income for 10 years on a meat producing farm in Pakistan increases over time (Table 5). The profit (after taxes) for year one in the Pakistani currency, Rupee, is 183,047Rs or $2, As the farm grows, the projected net profit also increases. In general, larger farms have decreased cost on a per bird basis. All costs vary depending on management, and thus profits vary with management practices. The same generalization would also apply to egg producing farms. With an ever increasing human population, the demand for poultry should continue to grow. Well managed poultry operations should be profitable in this environment. 14

25 Materials/Methods To determine feasibility of poultry production, this study used a small rental farm located in South Lebanon in the Marjoyoun valley (Fig.1). On November 11 th, 2009, 3,060 day-old chicks were introduced into a poultry house furnished with wood chips and supplied with heaters, feeders, and drinkers. The chicks were bought at a price of $0.55 each from a local supplier. The poultry house preparation cost was $270, which included the cost of wood chips and gas for heaters. The cost of the feeders and drinkers was included with the rental cost of $500 per flock. All cost figures used in this report are in United States dollars (USD). Figure 1. Farm Location in Lebanon 17
26 Feeding: Feed for broilers varies according to age. The percentage ingredients differ between the starter, grower, and finisher feeds. However, the ingredients in all feeds used were corn, soya, sish granule, mono di-calcium, broiler pre-mix, methionine, lysine, enzymes, coline, coxi, salt, stone granules, and soya oil. Starter feed was used for chicks between the age of 1 and 10 days. For this study, a total of 1 ton of starter feed was used at a cost of $507/ton. Grower feed was used for chicks between the age of 11 and 28 days. The amount used was 7 tons at a cost of $475/ton. The finisher feed was used for chicks between the age of 29 and 50 days. The amount used was 6 tons at a cost of $435/ton. The variation in feed quantities was related to chick size and growth stage. The conversion of feed differs between the three levels of growth, with broilers in the growth phase consuming more of the grower feed as compared to the other feeds. Vaccination Four vaccines were used throughout the grow-out: B1, Gamboro, Gamboro Stress, and Clone. Vaccine B1 was applied to the chicks at 7 days of age; Gamboro was applied at the age of 12 days, and Gamboro Stress at the age of 22 days. Clone was applied at three stages, at the age of 18, 27, and 35 days. The cost of vaccine B1 was $6, Gamboro $9, Gamboro Stress $16, and Clone $23 (this is the per flock costs of vaccines). Slaughtering The flock was ready for slaughter at an age of 46 days on December 20 th, 2009, as per market requirements. Broilers were moved in plastic cages into the holding area of the slaughter house at different times, depending on the speed of slaughtering. The slaughtering method was traditional, following accepted Islamic slaughtering practices. 18

Hello Everyone,
My question would be which is the best method to study values, and how to properly apply them in my compositions? any help regarding this would be appreciated.
I chose sargent because or his bold and painterly yet realistic style,not to mention he is one of my all time favt.
What i have noticed about this image/painting is how he guide the eye to the eye using the perspective,economy and values to guide the eye to the point of emphasis/interest,i really like how he have placed a dark patch at the end of the of that bright sunlight/wall to keep the eye in the painting and to not let it leave.
Thank You,

I've set up a class to do my transformations with Xalan 2 (which is much easier than Xalan 1) but the includes in my stylesheets are being referenced from the working folder rather than the server root.
I came across the URIResolver which should correct this problem but there isn't any documentation on how to really use it.
Would anyone have any examples?

Home > National News > Bali > Article
Balinese cover band Xcite is belting out the Village People's YMCA. Debbie Webb, of Campbelltown, and her 16-year-old daughter Sarah are up on the bar dancing.
It's after 10pm in the Hard Rock Hotel at Kuta Beach and the snake-hipped singers dressed in slinky black know the songs that get the girls up.
It's a year since Debbie and Sarah were in Bali, and, like last time, they are hitting the night clubs with fervour. The Webbs, who are back this year with a family party of 24, are not frightened of crowded venues.
They finished their 2002 holiday four days before the bombings at Paddy's Bar and the Sari Club, where the Webbs had partied hard along the Kuta Beach strip.
This year's trip, booked only a month after the tragedy, includes sister-in-law Kerry.
It's Kerry's third Bali holiday and she feels "safer here than anywhere ... I wouldn't walk the streets at home".
Debbie and Sarah are in a defiantly celebratory mood. "We're Australian and we're not scared," Debbie said, "I will never stop coming here."
This year they brought clothing and gifts from Australia for their Balinese friends.
Drinking with them is Gede Bomba, a 24-year-old Balinese photographer whose legs were torn with shrapnel as he stood in Paddy's Bar last October.
"Now it's very hard to find jobs. Tell people to come to Bali," he pleaded.
Over in the cavernous room of the new Paddy's Bar, up Jalan Legian from the old site which is now planted with banana trees, it is much quieter.
The traffic rattling up the street outside seems noisy and asphyxiating, but true Bali regulars say in the old days it seethed with tanned, loud, drunk Australians.
Inside Paddy's, an Australian flag hangs near posters plugging a "Back to Bali" night.
Many want to avoid crowded spots, but a handful of relatives and friends of the Bali bombing victims ventured out into the clubs last week.
A large group of football players, including former Kangaroos defender Jason McCartney, who was injured in the bombing, were also in town.

Mexico City Mexico City Hostel
Facilities Map Streetview Reviews
Brasil No. 8 Col. Centro
Note: It is the responsibility of the hotel chain and/or the individual property to ensure the accuracy of the photos displayed. Travellerspoint is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the photos.
The best and cheapest hostel in Mexico & Only 20 meters from The Cathedral and Zocalo (main plaza) Mexico City Hostel offers economic, comfortable accommodation, in our newly and completely remodeled building. This building displays the beauty of Colonial times.
Mexico City Hostel offers a traditional atmosphere of Mexico. We are very close to many places of interest in the Center of Mexico City, for example, galleries, shops, markets and museums.
At Mexico City Hostel we offer everything you need for an unforgettable stay in the Center of Mexico City, Private rooms and dormitories, beautiful patios, complete hostel services (laundry service, Internet included in the price a nice and big breakfast also included and not only coffee and bread but eggs with jam, fruit bread with butter and jelly, coffee, tea, hot showers, lockers, safety box at front desk for valuables), tours and much more.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Mexico City hostel is a beautiful hostel with a friendly staff. I really enjoyed staying there for 2 nights in the low season.
Be it high season with heat and full house, I am not sure as the single rooms don´t have a fan, dorms are quite small, sometimes with no curtains and the whole place can be really noisy.
You have to like climbing stairs or not be forgetful as I am since there is only one bathrooms for the 3 floors.
Having said that, I haven´t been able to find a hostal in Mexico city for a good price, in a good location and quiet. The youth hostels in the city seem to be a bit pricey as they are the same price as hotel rooms with TVs and AC.
When it comes to meeting people, the travellers in Mexico City hostel really keeped to themselves... Maybe because there is no common kitchen where people hang around and chat.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Fairly clean rooms, bathrooms were shall we say "intermittent" with the water - I had 1 very hot shower and 3 cold ones over the 4 day stay. The plumbing in general is a bit dodgy - think this could be a reflection of the area in general. Some staff are more helpful than others, (go for the girl with the long hair she is more inclined to help you!) They do have a laundry service, breakfast included although not anything special . Overall - not the best hostel I've ever stayed in but by no means the worst. Great central location, beautiful building and very easy to find.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Great location and the girls at the front desk were really helpful!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Hi People I would recomend this place is very quiet and the people is very nice, the service is excellente is a great place for backpacker or people that doesn't have enough money to cover for a hotel.
Hola Gente el Lugar esta bien accesible ya que esta ubicado en una zona centrica de la Ciudad muy cerca del Zocalo y ademas pueden accesar muy rapido al metro que solo cuesta 2 pesos el trayecto y el tren ligero = Se los recomiendo porque lo use como via de acceso para ir al Estadio Azteca.

Not necessarily the same story, but someone to finally put an end to Philip. What do you think?

Charlotte: Robbie Loomis stepped down as Jeff Gordon's crew chief on Wednesday, four days after the team failed to make NASCAR's Chase for the championship. Loomis will finish the season as consultant for Hendrick Motorsports, while Jimmie Johnson races for the Nextel Cup title. He will join Petty Enterprises next season as vice president of race operations, where he will run the day-to-day operations for Jeff Green and Kyle Petty's teams. Steve Letarte, who has been with Gordon's team for three of his NASCAR titles, will take over for Loomis as crew chief. 'Great team' "I'm sad to see Robbie leave," said Gordon. "We made a great team and had more wins ahead of us, but the Pettys presented him with a fantastic opportunity. For him, it was time for a change and I'm happy he's found the right fit." Loomis joined Gordon's team in 2000, and the duo won Gordon's fourth Cup title the next season. Although Gordon has won three races this season, he hit a slump this summer and failed to qualify for NASCAR's 10-race title hunt. By missing out, Gordon is assured of his worst points finish since his rookie season, when he was 14th. New innings Steve Letarte will call his first race on Sunday in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. He has worked under crew chiefs Ray Evernham, Brian Whitesell and Loomis in roles ranging from tire specialist, mechanic and car chief. "I've worked with Steve for more than 10 years and we already communicate extremely well, both on and off the track," Gordon said. "The team has a ton of confidence in his abilities, so we're looking forward to the last 10 races of 2005 and getting an early jump on next year." Expected move The Gordon-Loomis split has been in the works for some time, with both sides indicating recently it was coming. It's a natural move for Loomis to head back to Petty Enterprises, where he spent 11 seasons before joining Gordon's team. "Robbie has been a part of our family for a long time, and we're happy to have him come home," Petty said. Loomis has been eager to step back from the day-to-day grind of being a crew chief. It's part of a reorganization of priorities he's taken since his mother battled a life-threatening illness last year. (AP)

How do you merge multiple forms into one form?Asked by cbguser on April 02, 2015 at 10:05 AM
I have multiple forms that we will sometimes send individually to a client and other times send all of them. Rather than having them click on multiple links, is there an easy way to combine forms into one long form with page breaks?
You could use our Field Manager app to combine the fields of those forms into a single one. You can see here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/471484#471677 a more detailed explanation of how it works.
Let us know if this helps.
