Not in Texas
Dr. Nancy Scanlan's article, "Treating Arthritis With Integrative Medicine" [September 2010], contained an error. She stated, "Acupuncture may be performed by a human acupuncturist under a veterinarian's supervision." This is not true as a blanket statement.
In Texas, only licensed veterinarians may perform acupuncture on animals. I suspect that other states have similar rules in their Practice Acts.
I was disappointed by that comment and by the sentence in general, as it went on to state: "… but veterinarians certified in acupuncture are often preferable because they know more about drugs and animals." Considering Dr. Scanlan's credentials, including acupuncture certification, I am dismayed that she did not word this appropriately.
Veterinarians certified in acupuncture should be recommended as the first line for this therapy. And it is not because we "know more about drugs and animals." Veterinarians with a CVA are highly skilled and trained in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine and in veterinary acupuncture.

Quality Offering
I want to thank you for Dr. Alice Villalobos' Quality of Life Scale, which helps people like me in our efforts to provide quality end-of-life care for our beloved pets. I print a copy at the end of each day spent caring for my dog, and it allows me to honestly and objectively evaluate how we are doing.
My sweet girl is a 13-year-old German shepherd rescue suffering from hemangiosarcoma. I'm certain an abdominal bleed ultimately will take her life, but in the meantime I am determined to provide her a quality death, just as I have provided her a quality life.

Editor's note: Dr. Villalobos' Quality of Life Scale may be found on the Columns page at VeterinaryPracticeNews.com.
Handy for Herbs
I appreciated the article "Getting Started with Chinese Herbs," by Dr. Nancy Scanlan [June 2010].
I am not trained in TCM but am interested in learning more. I get overwhelmed with the different language of the TCM diagnoses and herb names. Dr. Scanlan's article was basic and well-organized; perfect for a beginner.
I hope to see more articles by Dr. Scanlan in the future.

High Cost of Research
I read with interest Jessica Tremayne's article "Pain Control A Necessity, Not Option" [August 2010].
Ms. Tremayne quotes Dr. Butch KuKanich as saying, "It costs $50 million on average for a veterinary clinical trial," and he goes on to say this high cost is the reason companies don't conduct clinical trials of pain medication.
The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine requires any animal medication that claims to treat or control pain to be tested in a clinical trial conducted under rigorous specifications and submitted to the center for review. All the NSAIDs currently marketed for the control of pain associated with osteoarthritis or post-surgical pain have been tested in well-controlled, blinded clinical trials. More information about the design of these trials can be found on the center's website.
The company I co-founded, AlcheraBio, is a contract research organization that conducts clinical trials for animal health companies. As such, we have an accurate understanding of the costs of veterinary clinical trials. On average, the cost of a clinical trial required for approval of a cat or dog medication by the center can be from $1 million to $2 million. There is no veterinary clinical trial that I am aware of in my 22 years in the pharmaceutical industry that has costs on the order of magnitude that Dr. KuKanich suggests.
Of course, there are medications used "off label" for the control of animal pain that are not FDA approved and may not have been tested in a rigorous clinical trial.
The article goes on to say, "Manufacturers don't see a profit coming from conducting the research, some say." On the contrary, a well-controlled statistically significant clinical trial result, if the drug shows effectiveness against pain, can be used by manufacturers to help market their product.

Atkins supported the criteria development and the assessment of suitability and risk for future site selection of nuclear power stations. Criteria based on issues such as environmental constraints, seismic risk and population demographics are being mapped out using geographic information systems (GIS) to inform the development of discretionary and exclusionary criteria for assessing potential sites for new installations.
Atkins collated large amounts of geospatial data for the UK from various national agencies. The data was processed, combined and integrated into a GIS. The GIS allows for varying criteria to be tested and to model the outcome for suitable sites. In addition, the Atkins team supported the data collection for the strategic environmental assessment on the proposed National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation.

No. 8 Arkansas opens on target with preseason goals
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- When Arkansas opened practice in mid-August, several Razorbacks talked big about the Bowl Championship Series and returning to the Southeastern Conference title game.
Some even uttered what should have been unthinkable for a school with one bowl win in 17 years and a team that entered the 2003 season on a two-game losing streak: "National championship."
Reporters and broadcasters paused, stopped jotting down notes and took a deep breath while players made seemingly outlandish predictions.
A few notes survived that day.
"We're about the win the championship. We have to, anything less is unacceptable," said senior wide receiver George Wilson, one of the most respected and levelheaded Razorbacks on the roster.
Stopping there and thinking SEC championship would be reasonable. Arkansas did advance to the title game last year, losing 30-3 to Georgia.
But Wilson didn't stop there. After a few words on the 24 seniors and adapting to some new schemes, he made a leap that would have made fellow receiver and All-American long jumper Richard Smith proud.
"The rest is going to take care of itself, not just an SEC championship, but a national championship," he said. "The national championship goes through Atlanta first."
Yes, that's possible. The SEC championship game winner has won three national titles -- Alabama in 1992, Florida in 1996 and Tennessee in 1998.
But did Arkansas need to think about that?
After a 4-0 start with wins at Texas and Alabama, the No. 8 Razorbacks are making believers out of those who doubt such intentions.
"A lot of media people probably are surprised, but the players, coaches and staff aren't," said senior linebacker Jimarr Gallon, who intercepted Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle to set up Arkansas' field goal in the second overtime of a 34-31 win in Tuscaloosa last week.
"We just have faith in ourselves and we continue to believe we can win every game," Gallon said.
The Razorbacks, who have won 10 straight regular-season games, were off this week before beginning eight straight weeks on the field. They can use the time to rest a litany of injured starters and contributors.
Wilson has a sprained ankle. Cornerback Lawrence Richardson just returned to practice from an ankle sprain he suffered Sept. 13 in the 38-28 win over Texas. Safety Bo Mosley hyperextended his knee at Alabama.
On the defensive line, one place where Arkansas doesn't have much depth, Arrion Dixon (knee) and Chase Pressley (ankle) are on the mend, too.
Gallon, who took over at outside linebacker when Tony Bua moved to free safety, has played the last three games with a cast protecting the ring finger on his left hand. On the first day of tackling drills, he broke it in 10 places while tackling running back Cedric Cobbs.
Gallon thought it was jammed so he yanked on it and played two more plays, worsening the injury. Now, he ignores the pain until after the game, but he hopes the week off will let the finger heal enough that he won't need the cast against Auburn on Oct. 11.
Meanwhile, when Cobbs lines up against the Tigers at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, it will be the deepest he has played into a season without injury since 1999.
Cobbs has finally improved on the form he showed that year, when he set an Arkansas freshman record with 668 yards rushing.
He has already rushed for more yards than any season since with 562 on 88 carries. Almost all of his carries have resulted in positive yardage, with only 10 yards lost. He's averaging 6.4 yards per carry, better than the 5.8 he had as a freshman, and his 140.5 yards per game ranks third nationally.
"He came in as a ball of fire as freshman," Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said. "He's been hurt, after that (the) biggest thing he's matured and he's always an unselfish hard worker. Instead of always looking for 70, 80-yard runs, he's looking for four yards and running hard for those four."
Cobbs showed that against Alabama, rushing 36 times for 198 yards, both career highs. His longest carry was for 22 yards.
"I'd hate to play one that's better," Alabama coach Mike Shula said. "Seeing him live, he's stronger than maybe I would have thought. He's more powerful. He kept coming and coming and coming."
Cobbs' running has been made more effective by two things -- a powerful offensive line and an efficient passing game using two quarterbacks.
Starter Matt Jones has completed 59.6 percent of his passes (31 of 52) for 427 yards and four touchdowns. Backup Ryan Sorahan, who led two second-half scoring drives in the win at Alabama, is 19-of-35 for 319 yards and a touchdown.
Their first three interceptions of the season came in the second half at Alabama. Also in that game, Cobbs' fumbled at the Alabama 13, which was the first by an Arkansas running back in 609 carries.
Yet the Razorbacks still found a way to come back from a 21-point deficit.
The seniors Wilson talked about at the beginning of the season kept Arkansas calm at Alabama and are expected to do the same as the Razorbacks look to their next eight games. Provided they keep winning, they should be favored in every one until the season finale at LSU.
"It's not going to be smooth sailing every game. Every game is not going to be just go in there and blow the team out," Wilson said. "Last week was just another challenge for us to overcome. A lot of teams would have easily started pointing the finger, got rid of the game plan and gave up all hope. Instead of doing that, we pulled together even stronger and had to believe even more."

A CT scan, also known as a CAT scan or Computed Tomography, is a special kind of X-ray that takes pictures of a cross-section of a part of your body. CT scans may be used to find certain conditions that regular X-rays cannot find. CT scans also can be used to monitor progress during or after medical treatment for some conditions. The CT scanner is comprised of an X-ray tube that moves around your body. The CT scanner then sends signals to a computer.
When it is time for your scan, you may be asked to change into an exam gown. Clothing with snaps and zippers may interfere with the scan. For most Abdomen CT scans, you may be told not to eat or drink for four hours before the exam. During the scan, you will lie on a padded table that is connected to the CT scanner. The table will move a short distance every few seconds to position you in the scanner. The machine will not touch you and the scan should be painless. It is very important that you lie completely still during the scan. Sometimes, a contrast material (X-ray dye) is used to outline blood vessels or organs to make them easier to see. If you receive a contrast medium through an IV, it will be given at this time. You may feel a brief flush or a metallic taste in your mouth from the contrast. This should pass. Before the scan, it is important that you let us know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to X-ray dye or if you are allergic to iodine.
Should you have any discomfort during the test or after the injection, inform the technologist. The average time for any CT exam is 15 - 20 minutes.
Depending on the type of study being done, you may be asked to drink contrast material. CT scans without contrast usually do not require special preparation. If your referring physician needs to order an Abdominal CT scan with an oral (by mouth) contrast, you may be asked to arrive an hour before your scan so you have enough time to drink the contrast before the CT is performed. Usually, you can take any medicines you might need with a small sip of water during those four hours. Your doctor will give you any special instructions that you may need before your scan. Be sure to follow the instructions or ask questions if you do not fully understand.
It is important that you notify us if you are, or think you might be, pregnant.
And if you are diabetic, please let us know if you are taking Glucophage, Glucovancel or Metformin. If so, the staff will ask you to stop taking your medication for 48 hours after the CT.
A radiologist reads your CT Scan, and the results are reported directly back to your doctor. Your insurance is filed for the scan. You are responsible for any co-pays, co-insurance or deductibles that have not been met. Co-pays, co-insurance and the deductibles are due at the time of service.
If you have any additional questions about this procedure, please contact a member of the Baylor Diagnostic Imaging Center staff where you are scheduled.

City landed the Premier League title on the final day of the campaign last season as they overhauled United to take the top prize.
However, Frenchman Evra insists United are the bigger club and has brushed aside any rivalry between the two Manchester sides as he feels United have always been "superior" to City.
"I don't know if we could talk about rivalry between both Manchester clubs, because we have always been superior to Manchester City," Evra told French Media.
"And even if they won the national title last season, that won't change anything."
United currently hold a two-point lead over the reigning champions in the Premier League, with the two sides set to meet at City's Etihad Stadium in December.

There is nothing magical about who I am. I'm the guy next-door. I'm the nice guy that wonders why "nice guys finish last," but at the same time hopes that he can break the mold. I grew up in a very supportive and happy home. I look at my parents in awe of what they've managed to accomplish while raising 3 boys.
I wonder what my future has in store for me, but I know that no matter what happens, everything is going to be all right.

Audiences will have a choice on March 28 … guns or God. The release date for Sabotage, the actioner starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is being moved up from April 11th to March 28th, putting it face to face with Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic Noah which stars Russell Crowe, Emma Watson and Jennifer Connelly. Sabotage is being released by distributor Open Road Films. The new date moves the picture away from Ivan Reitman's NFL comedy starring Kevin Costner and four other films in wide release and into a weekend with only one … Noah. Open Road just opened the animated family film The Nut Job to strong business; it found its weekend and has collected $40M in two weeks. Sabotage is financed and produced by QED International. It's from writer-director David Ayer (based on the screenplay by Skip Woods) and produced by Bill Block and Paul Hanson. Sam Worthington and Olivia Williams co-star.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Actioner 'Sabotage' To Be Released In March Against 'Noah'
12 Comments
And just like that Sabatoge went from being #1 at the box office to #3 opening weekend.
more like #1 at the box office and not #3 opening weekend
Great call Mr. Block, Noah will sink, fast.
Classic good versus evil. Noah vs. Arnold! I'm laying my chips on The Terminator to rise to the occasion!
doesn't matter what date Sabotage is released, it won't open well. Arnold has proven that he can no longer open a movie, doesn't matter how good the director is. Look at The Last Stand and Escape Plan. Same with Stallone. People just don't care about these senior citizens trying to still act tough.
Noah on the other hand has a perfect release date for it's content and will reignite the interest in biblical films. I am sure there will be controversy which means more publicity and more interest from the public.
No doubt, Noah will beat Sabotage…it wont even be close.
Arnold is over, Sabotage will flop.
It's a David Ayer Film, not just Arnold. Looking forward to it.
I guess you didn't see Harsh Times.
To those who think Sabotage will even come close in BO to Noah… you are badly mistaken. I'm thinking Sabotage was moved only to provide counterprogramming. Noah looks pretty awesome (yes, I'm in the target audience) while Schwarzenegger just can't command the audience like he once did.
I don't think that 'winning the weekend' is the primary goal here… the goal is opening bigger than it would have done in its previous date. And to that end, I think this is the ideal strategy. Noah will underperform, Sabotage mght slightly over perform – I think the opening weekends will be $18m for Sabotage and $25m for Noah. Given the respective budgets, that's a win for Arnie, not Crowe.
@Anonymous – No but I did see Street Kings, End of Watch and Training Day (which he wrote). If Arnold is losing it, Ayer could very well help him.

Dear Commons,
It is clear that you pride yourself in your work tremendously, and you do a great job. I feel honored and privileged to have access to such an exceptional dining hall. That said, I find the April 2nd napkin post entitled "Pride" tremendously offense, and I apologize for the insolence of my classmate.
Commons is amazing.
Much love.

A suspect has been arrested in the murder of Mollie Olgin and shooting of Kristene Chapa in Portland, Tex.
According to the local NBC affiliate, David Malcolm Strickland, 27, was arrested along with his wife, Laura Kimberly, 23, on Friday by U.S. Marshals and Texas Rangers in the San Antonio suburb of Helotes.
The attack took place two years ago and stunned the LGBT community throughout Texas. Dallas activist Cd Kirven collected funds for Portland's crime stoppers program and organized a local vigil.
The murder took place in a park in the coastal Texas town. Olgin was found dead and Chapa has been recovering from her injuries. According to the NBC report, she is still receiving physical therapy.
Told about the capture of the suspect, Chapa told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, "It will never take back the pain and hurt he did to our families. And it won't bring Mollie back."

There are two important, complex and, as Norman Gunston would say, ''controversial'' decisions this month from the Court of Appeal - the home of the state's brightest, most learned and least fallible judges.
One case deals with remarks at a social occasion by Judge Michael Finnane, in which he is said to have expressed forceful views about paedophiles and how they should be punished.
The other is a decision about the liability of a local council for the actions of hunting dogs that attacked and killed a four-year-old girl, Tyra Kuehne, in the country town of Warren.
Both decisions and the reasons behind them have their peculiar elements.
The Finnane case is called CUR24 v the Director of Public Prosecutions and the District Court of NSW. CUR24 can now be revealed as a former priest, Brian Spillane, who was sentenced yesterday by Finnane to nine years' jail for sex assaults on young girls.
There are a number of other trials in the pipeline in which Spillane is the accused.
Because Finnane is known to be tough on sex crimes, CUR24's defence team was anxious to get the judge removed from the case, or at least the sentencing.
To some extent they have succeeded because the judge is shifting to the Dust Diseases Tribunal and the remaining Spillane cases will be tried by someone else.
Before he could sentence Spillane yesterday, Finnane had to wait for the Court of Appeal decision, handed down two weeks ago.
Greg Walsh is Spillane's lawyer and in March last year he had a conversation with Finnane at a tea party following the swearing-in of another judge at the District Court.
Walsh swore that as he walked into the reception area he was approached by Judge Finnane, who had a cup of tea in his hand, and said words to the effect: ''G'day Greg, representing another paedophile are you?''
Walsh said he was representing a former teacher at Knox Grammar School, whereupon Finnane is alleged to have said:
Later he allegedly said, after another judge interjected in the conversation, ''they're all guilty … they're all guilty''.
''Well, you know what should be done with these paedophiles? They should be put on an island and starved to death … that's the best thing for them.''
Later he allegedly said, after another judge interjected in the conversation, ''they're all guilty … they're all guilty''.
At that time Spillane was awaiting sentence after being convicted of the assaults on the young girls.
The defence lawyers sought to remove Finnane from sentencing the former priest, while the judge insisted that the conversation did not take place in those terms.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the summons to remove Finnane, finding that his statements did not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
In arriving at that point there was an impressive effort put into reasoning why Walsh should not give evidence or be cross-examined.
In other words, the appeal decision was not based on testing witnesses as to which version of events was more likely to be correct.
To do so would endanger the dignity and public confidence in the legal profession and the judiciary. The appeal judges all agreed that it was unnecessary in making a determination about the apprehended bias of a judge to make a finding of fact about the the disputed words. The relevant principle was concerned with appearance, rather than reality.
The test of judicial bias is what a fair-minded bystander might think. In an impressive leap of faith, appeal judge Tony Meagher said bystanders in this situation would simply put aside Finnane's comments about paedophiles, because they would know that a judge would rise to the occasion and ''consistent with his training and function'', do the right thing. No one would consider it likely that the judge would be governed by anything other than the evidence.
I hope that makes everyone feel better.
In the Kuehne case a largely different set of appeal judges decided that the Warren Shire Council was not liable in damages arising from the death of young Tyra, even though there had been numerous complaints about the dogs that killed her, and inaction by the council in declaring them ''dangerous'' under the Companion Animals Act.
A ''dangerous'' dog was one that has ''without provocation'' attacked or killed a person or animal, and it would have to be constrained in accordance with the legislation.
The case involved some quite tortuous reasoning about ''without provocation''. Justice Anthony Whealy reasoned that because the dogs had been trained to kill pigs they did not need to be provoked to kill a pig and by extension, although it was not clear, they could kill a small child.
Just what a pig has to do to provoke a killer dog is also not certain.
In this sense, the dogs were provoked as a result of their training, and because of that there would be a problem in declaring them dangerous, under that definition.
Since this death the legislation has been changed to proscribe the attack kind of ''hunting dogs'' as dangerous dogs. But that is not much help to Tyra's father and brother who sued in nervous shock for damages.
Whealy did not accept that the dogs owned by Mr Thomas Wilson had a history of causing serious harm, although there were instances where his dogs seemed to menace or frighten neighbours or passers-by.
He dismissed the claim that ''these dogs were trained hunting machines'' as ''highly emotive and overlooks the fact that they were trained to hunt pigs not humans''.
The distinction between a pig and a small child may not be as sharply defined to a killer dog.
Importantly, Bob Carr's 2002 legislation, which raised the bar for claimants against councils and other public authorities, really nailed shut the Kuehnes' case. In this state, a council can be on notice about a danger, but escape liability except in the most ''unreasonable'' circumstances.
Many would have thought this case was one of them, but apparently it's emotive to think so.

On one hand, Oh and others said, North Korea's isolated government needed a scapegoat. On the other, according to Chinese sources close to the secretive government of Kim Jong-il, Pyongyang has determined it risks economic collapse without security guarantees and access to international lending institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, to which the United States holds the keys.
So President Kim Jong-il manufactured a crisis to win concessions, they said.
"Now the economic situation is more precarious than before the reforms. They can't do this halfway," said Cui Yingjiu, a Chinese Korean economist and adviser to the North Korean Government. "They risk social chaos and economic collapse."
The crisis has been made worse by a reduction in the humanitarian aid that had kept North Korea on life support since 1995. Because of a shortage of donations, the World Food Program has had to cut the number of North Koreans it is helping this year from 6.4 million to 3.5 million of the country's estimated 22.6 million inhabitants.
"It's a tough call deciding who has to be deprived," said Gerald Bourke, an official with the World Food Program in Beijing. The recent "very rapid inflation" of rice prices is "putting food way beyond the pale for a lot of people," he said.
North Korea's announcement of economic reforms led some observers to conclude that Mr Kim was ready to lead his country out of isolation.
These steps included:
An expression of regret following a clash between North and South Korean naval forces last June.
The suggestion that North Korea would hand over Japanese Red Army members wanted for their involvement in hijacking a Japanese airliner in 1970.
An informal meeting in July between the North Korean Foreign Minister, Paek Nam-sun, and the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell.
Transport links between North and South Korea.
A summit meeting between Mr Kim and the Japanese Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi.
Talk of establishing as many as five special zones for foreign
The economic changes included raising prices and wages, devaluing the North Korean won against the dollar and cutting state subsidies for failing businesses.

I started at this place to study, there's a female member of staff (yea she's kinder good looking) never looks at me or talks to me, yet I talk to everyone else and they talk to me, when I need help she never comes over someone else does yet she goes to other older males to help the but not me!.
I really don't get it, I've done nothing to her I don't even know her!, all the other staff like me and I'm a friendly nice bloke. Very strange, anything you girls know?.
When I'm studying she will be loud sometimes wth her collegue, I really am chuffed, I just feel like asking her what's her problem is.
What does it mean if a girl ignores you?
I started at this place to study, there's a female member of staff (yea she's kinder good looking) never looks at me or talks to me, yet I talk to everyone else and they talk to me, when I need help she never comes over someone else does yet she goes to other older males to help the but not me!.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 10
definately a crush, you should approach her for help if you like her or else both of you are going nowhere.00|00|0
lol she likes you but maybe a tabu for her she's doing the right thing so if you like her just say a little hello and smile to her if not sure send he a note lol she needs the push so you need to let her know you like her and would speak to her a little help if she's strugling with it same way00|00|0
She has a crush :)00|00|1
Ya when I like a guy I get extremely shy to the point where I can be perceived as standoffish. Just kill her with kindness, see if she shows interest. Life's too short to worry about things like that.00|00|0
If she ignores you she most likely doesn't like you in "that" way, sorry.10|10|0
good what happend keep us informed lol00|00|0
I think she likes you!:)00|00|0
she does not like you but don't worry she is not the only girl in the world you will find other girl00|00|0
I did the same thing to a guy once, because I felt like if I look at him he'd know I like him and I was embaresed. I donno why I did it. I just couldn't look at him. I was talking to every one but him. looking at every one but him. she might like you or she might hate your guts for no reason00|00|0
Maybe, she is creeped-out by you...if you have ever stared at her or said anything about her that may be why.10|10|0
Nope never started at her or spoken about her to anyone!.
What Guys Said 4
Don't worry about it, if she has a problem then it's hers to solve. If your asking because you're into her, and I'm guessing you are because other wise you wouldn't care, then you gotta be the man and make the first approach. If she continues to ignore you after you try to talk to her then move on and don't look back. If she does respond to you then she was probably just waiting for you man up and take the first step.20|20|0
agree...men lead. You wait too long your done.
Yeah this is good I user to wait for th? perfect moment and when it never happened I was left wondering. You gotta take th? first step.
There are two possibilities:
1) She likes you but doesn't want to make it obvious as it could make the atmosphere awkward and she might fear you do not like her and she will get embarrassed. So she tries to play it cool by ignoring to see how you react. it has worked as you are here on this website posting a question ; )
2) She senses you are into her and is keeping her distance.00|00|0
Either she is nervous or uninterested00|00|0
maybe you stare at her and it creeps her out.
i remember at the fast food place I work at this really hot girl came in. I didn't realize this til later but I stared far too long as she was coming in, like it was obvious. I'm pretty sure she got offended and thought I was a creep because the whole time I served her she didn't make any eye contact and was really stand offish.
a week later she came back in and as she came I didn't pay her attention, then while serving her I acted like she was just another customer and I wasn't interested in her (I do this with all girls now, works wonders). that time around she acted normal and was even nice to me.
so I think maybe you're just staring at this girl a lot or something (I mean you notice her avoiding you after all this time so you HAVE to be looking/paying attention) and it weirds her out. you should just start avoiding her like how she avoids you00|00|0
I don't stare at her though, I only glance when she's not looking like back turned I am smart like that, I do what you do and act as if I don't fancy them and treat them like every other girl.Maybe she's bitter I don't fall at her knees?.
like I said just keep ignoring her...or you can even just walk up to her at some point and start a conversation to see what happens lol. often when people are attracted to each other they ignore each other. either way just be natural and not scared, as well as reasonable, normal person and she won't get creeped
Ok thanks, seems good to me!.

Part-timers are the dark side of the bright jobs numbers
When it comes to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' "First Friday" unemployment numbers, March's data are a good reminder of our monthly mantra: don't read too much into any one set of numbers, based on two very different surveys, both themselves based on samples of much larger populations.
That said, no matter how humbly provisional I know I should be, I have a less exuberant reaction to the March numbers than some commentators seem to. They point to the healthy number of jobs created — 192,000 — and the upward revisions of the past two months' numbers — 37,000 more jobs added than originally reported during the winter.
And there were other bright spots, notes Wellesley's economics department chair Kristin Butcher, whom I interview on the NewsHour Friday: temporary jobs were up in March, and they tend to be a "bellwether" of future job growth, as do construction jobs, which are also up.
But overall, Butcher views March's numbers as I do: with caution. That's because, according to the survey of 60,000 households, roughly 170,000 more Americans of working age were added to the population in March, consistent with the number we add just about every month, and also consistent with the Census Bureau's report that the U.S. population is growing at slightly more than 2 million people a year.
But that would mean that the number of jobs added — 192,000 — just kept pace with the number of new people who needed them. And sure enough, that would explain why the total number of people who told interviewers that they hadn't worked even one hour in the previous week — the total number of officially "unemployed" in America — barely budged, and is still well above 10 million.
As Making Sen$e regulars know, we also keep track of a more inclusive measure of unemployment which we call U-7: the total number of Americans who say they want a full-time job but don't have one. That number rose in March, for the first time since October, to nearly 24 million. That is a lot of people.
So what happened to explain the rise? Well, a lot of it seems to be because the number of part-timers who want a full-time job swelled. The BLS news release claims that "The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed at 7.4 million in March."
But in fact, if the BLS' Table A-8 is to be trusted, the number of part-timers wanting full-time work number rose from 7.168 million Americans to 7.411 million in just the one month of March. That's an increase of more than 3 percent. Yes, it could be a statistical "artifact" as they say: a more or less random number. But it also could be a sign of employers running from the Affordable Care Act, or a wobbly underbelly to an otherwise optimistic body of data.
Paul Solman spoke with "Leading Indicators" author Zachary Karabell last month about our obsession with economic statistics like the unemployment rate.

Important read immediately: CDC Discovers new virus
This virus is called Worm-Overload-recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life. Update: After extensive testing it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE but may require a more generous application. Disclaimer: Sorry it's Friday, and I just couldn't help my self. This was not verified on Snopes LOL

Set your eyes on the night sky this weekend for a spectacular sight.
The moon will appear bigger and brighter than any other time this year, an astronomical phenomenon occuring when the moon is both full and at its closest to Earth in its orbit, which scientists call a perigee.
The perigee full moon, popularly known as a "supermoon," will appear 8 percent larger than the average full moon, said astronomer and Georgia Regents University physics professor Grant Thompson. The moon will be about 14,000 miles closer to Earth than average.
"A lot of people think the moon's orbit is a circle. The orbit is actually an ellipse, more like an egg shape," Thompson said.
Supermoons are not unusual – one occurred in May and another one comes in July – but this Sunday's full moon will appear the largest of all.
"It's amazing how bright it is, and it lights up the earth significantly," said Darlene Smalley, the program director of Dupont Planetarium at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center in Aiken.
The moon will be closest to Earth at 7:32 a.m. Sunday. Such close proximity won't occur again until August 2014.
Because the moon reaches its peak fullness on Sunday morning, the supermoon can be viewed Saturday and Sunday nights, Smalley said.
The moon's brightness will be too blinding to safely view with a telescope, Smalley said. People can use binoculars to get a closer look, but a full moon is not the best time to view lunar features such as craters, she said.
Some people will have a difficult time discerning the moon's bigger appearance, but the brightness will be evident, Thompson said. Unless one looks at the full moon often and knows its typical size, the supermoon won't appear much different in size.
The supermoon will affect ocean as the moon's gravitational force will cause extra high and extra low tides.

|More information:
When Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was first published in 1974, it caused a literary sensation. An entire generation was profoundly affected by the story of the narrator, his son, Chris, and their month-long motorcycle odyssey from Minnesota to California. A combination of philosophical speculation and psychological tension, the book is a complex story of relationships, values, madness, and, eventually, enlightenment. Ronald DiSanto and Thomas Steele have spent years investigating the background and underlying symbolism of Pirsig's work. Together, and with the approval of Robert Pirsig, they have written a fascinating reference/companion to the original. This guidebook serves as a metaphorical backpack of supplies for the reader's journey through the original work. With the background material, insights, and perspectives the authors provide, it has become required reading for new fans of the book as well as those who have returned to it over the years.

The Brisbane-born forward has gone straight into training today (Thursday) with his new team-mates.
But Hill has admitted, with registration red tape to tie up, he would not be thrusting his new man into the sell out game and instead would let him settle in before the away clash with London Wasps on New Year's Day.
"Ezra will not be involved. He was a little but late for registration for this game," revealed Hill.
"He arrived on Wednesday, he has trained with us on Thursday and he looks in very good shape. We will do all the paperwork and he will be registered in time for Wasps.
"He is big but he looks lean. Ezra is not bulky and heavy, he looks athletic. We will get the fat calipers on him later on to really test his body fat, but looking at him he has the height and size.
"If he can play rugby like we have seen in all the footage then he is going to be exceptionally good. We will look to get him involved at Wasps."
Hill is keeping his team selection close to his chest but admitted that fit-again duo Matt Mullan and Matt Kvesic are in his plans.
He added: "Both Matt Kvesic and Matt Mullan are fit. That is a really big boost for the club and both will be involved, in some capacity, with the match day 23.
"We are keeping our team under wraps until Boxing Day like Leicester Tigers. We will keep each other guessing for now."

Evolution Hoax
A9 TV, July 29th 2012
(In response to an audience viewer who asked a question about interfaith dialogue)
You can participate in the discourse of a Christian. You can welcome him, speak to him. He explains his views and so you do. This is a dialogue. But what is the point of calling it a dialogue? I become irritated at that word. You can converse with them, befriend them, show compassion and listen to their views and in return you can also talk about your own. He can talk about Christianty and you can talk about Islam. You can explain the beautiful Islam and point out what is common in Christianity and Islam. We can make effort to struggle against irreligion and say that we should unite in the "Oneness of Allah", "Love for the prophets", "Faith in the Hereafter", and in making a struggle against Darwinism and materialism. So there is no need for that word. There is nothing wrong about it, it is something beneficial. This is also known through the verses of the Qur'an. In the Qur'an Allah wants us to employ a "beautiful style" while talking to them. What does this mean? This simply refers to the "dialogue". This is the explicit meaning of "dialogue". Allah wants us to speak to them, to converse with them and to behave good to them. Allah says that we can marry them, eat the food they cook. They can come into our homes and so we can go their homes. We can invite them to our meals. So we can be friends. Allah relates this to us in the Qur'an. There are some people who harbor doubts about anything. They embace a policy of hatred, assuming that if Christians are granted freedom then the same freedom will be granted to Muslims. Those who hate Christianity also hate Islam and Judaisim. They come to a state of mind that only loves communism. That is to say, it is the first step to attack Islam; they implement it as a first step. Why would we be enemies to Christians? They are the People of the Book. In the Qur'an, Allah states that the closest to Muslims are the Christians.
I several times stated that I am not a hafiz (someone who has memorized the entirety of the Qur'an). People ask why I am not a hafiz? I do not know the Qur'an by heart. We can open the Book and look it up or we can read it on the computer. This would be solid and we can also show them the verses. A person may make a mistake when he knows by heart, but reading allows no room for any mistakes. This has nothing to do with being a scholar. Memorizing the Qur'an does not mean scholarship. Being a scholar is something different. Memorizing the Qur'an is beautiful, but it is enough for a particular group of people to be hafiz. There is not a provision about being a hafiz in the Qur'an. Allah does not ask us to memorize the Qur'an. He wants us to abide by the Qur'an. We read the Qur'an and abide by the provisions of the Qur'an inshaAllah.
(In response to an audience member who said that Alawites are being externalized)
Being an Alawite means loving Hazrat Ali and being a man of love. Having love for everytihng Allah loves. Having love for Allah, for our Prophet (saas) and the Ahl Al-Bayt. It means "exuberance".
Alawites love animals, plants and everything. They are all brave people, they are stout-hearted people. Those who say otherwise say something stupid. They are the base, hypocriticaland bigoted lot. They are already loveless, baseless people. They already love no one, let alone Alawites. They even hate their own people, they hate one another.2012-08-28 13:47:44

Just when we thought Rania Yousef's split from bad boy ex-husband Karim Al Shabrawi couldn't get any more dramatic, [2]the Egyptian actress has reportedly decided to file yet another law suit.
In the messiest celeb breakup of 2012, the former lovebirds have been exchanging insults and accusations in and outside of court for the best part of this year.
From restraining orders, [3] to drug tests and death threats – Haifa Wehbe's twitter spats [4]are child's play compared to these warring spouses.
Last month Karim was reportedly found guilty [5] on a number of counts, including writing cheques without the balance to back them up.
Now – in addition to the many lawsuits she has already filed against him – Rania is said to be taking Karim to court after receiving a dodgy cheque of her own.
According to Middle East news portal Elaph, Rania is accusing her former hubby of writing her an empty cheque for 300,000 Egyptian pounds.
On the brink of a new year you might think it's about time for these warring exes to forgive and forget but if this latest lawsuit is anything to go by, it looks like this is one celeb feud that could be going on well into 2013.

New UK Poster for SKYFALL
MGM has released a brand new UK poster for Sam Mendes' great looking James Bond movie Skyfall. The action adventure spy thriller stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw, Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace and Tonia Sotiropoulou.
It's kind of crazy how little we know about the story for the film, even with the trailers that have been released. I think they're doing a better job keeping things under wraps than Christopher Nolan did with The Dark Knight Rises.
In Skyfall, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
The movie opens up internationally on October 26th, and then domestically on November 9th. Check out a couple of trailers for the film here!

Laugh your way to God? Laugh your way to love? What if you could reach enlightenment, joy and total relaxation through laughter?
Do you think you would be inclined to incorporate more laughter into your day if you knew it would be a pathway to love, growth and perhaps even God?
Meet Osho, a fellow giggle guru. I never met him but I love what he says about laughter.
Osho's world class smile, sense of humor and joke delivery skills are on full display in this "spiritually incorrect" Osho International video. Osho says instead of "God", the word "F**K" has become the most important word in the English language.
Ever wondered what it would be like to mix George Carlin's humor with Ghandi's demeanor?
Wait no more. Check out the video at the 1:20 and 2:20 minute mark. (I know my giggle yogini friend Joyce will love this!) If 4 letter words offend you, skip the video.
"At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities." — Jean Houston
God, Granola & Yogic Woo-Woo
I was searching the Internet the other day and found a short written interview with Osho explaining why he tells jokes. Osho believes jokes are prayers and through laughter, we can reach God.
I realize some of you may feel talk of God is too granola-yogic-WooWoo for your tastes but that's ok. To each his own. One of my fellow blogger mates, Tom Volkar, from Delightful Work once said he lost 60 readers overnight because he mentioned the word, "God". God means many things to many people.
I'm one of God's biggest fans. Because this is my blog, I'm going to let my God flag fly high since I am 100% certain God Giggles On!
I don't think you need to believe in a supreme being to appreciate the sentiments stated by Osho about laughter. Perhaps reaching God is not your goal. Maybe you would like to bring more peace, joy and relaxation into your life?
- Let Laughter take you where you want to go!
- Let Laughter be your release.
- Let Laughter be the celebration of life!
"Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it." – Henry Ward Beecher
Who was Osho?
Osho, born Chandra Mohan Jain (Hindi: चन्द्र मोहन जैन) (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) was an Indian mystic and spiritual teacher who garnered an international following and created an enormous amount of controversy. He is one of my newest giggle gurus. Osho's teachings emphasize the importance of meditation, awareness, love, celebration, creativity and humor (YAY!) – qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to religious tradition and static belief systems. Boo to suppression. YAY for laughter! Source: Wikipedia
"Humor is the fastest, fleetest way of giving —it can change pain to joy in a mere millisecond." — Stephen Post
Life, a Great Cosmic Joke
Osho was once asked: Why do you tell jokes?
His response:
First, Religion is a complicated joke. If you don't laugh at all you have missed the point; if you only laugh you have missed the point again. It is a very complicated joke.
And the whole of life is a great cosmic joke. It is not a serious phenomenon — take it seriously and you will go on missing it. It is understood only through laughter.
Have you not observed that man is the only animal who laughs? Aristotle says man is the rational animal. That may not be true — because ants are very rational and bees are very rational. In fact, compared to ants, man looks almost irrational. And a computer is very rational — compared to a computer, man is very irrational.
My definition of man is that man is the laughing animal. No computer laughs, no ant laughs, no bee laughs. If you come across a dog laughing you will be so scared! Or a buffalo suddenly laughs: you may have a heart attack. It is only man who can laugh, it is the highest peak of growth.
And it is through laughter that you will reach to God — because it is only through the highest that is in you that you can reach the ultimate. Laughter has to become the bridge. Laugh your way to God. I don't say pray your way to God, I say laugh your way to God.
If you can laugh you will be able to love. If you can laugh you will be able to relax. Laughter relaxes like nothing else. So all jokes to me are prayers — that's why I tell them. Laugh.
Do you believe you can laugh your way to God? Leave us a comment below…

About the Book
My children's picture book version revisits an age old myth. I painted Adam and Eve inspired by the clean edges and shapes that typify Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. As a child I asked myself why God would put a fruit tree in his garden that was off limits to Adam and Eve.
For Eve, all is not lost when she decides what to do with the apple core.

April Morn Shawl by Kathryn White
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 5 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
April Morn Shawl
When Annie's Attic asked if I would be interested in doing a book on Irish crochet. I took and idea I had been toying with and developed it for this shawl. Wanted to do something fairly traditional, but in a mediun that would be more attractive to crocheters than the traditional thread. This is a warm snuggly shawl. It's 45 inches long by 60 inches wide.

Now's the time to get started on your end-of-the-year to-do list, particularly if your retirement planning includes leaving full-time employment in 2013. Here are four things that should be at the top of your list.
Review your Medicare plan. Medicare open enrollment, the period during which you can switch your plan, is shorter this year, opening Oct. 15 and ending Dec. 7. It is particularly smart to look at your prescription drug Part D plan, especially if your doctor has added or subtracted medicines. You might be able to save yourself big money.
Analyze your investment portfolio. The current long-term capital gains rate for people in the 10 percent and 15 percent tax brackets is zero. Taxpayers in the 25 percent and above tax brackets pay 15 percent. Starting Jan. 1, the long-term capital gains rate rises to 10 percent for those in the lowest two tax brackets and 20 percent for everyone else. If you have to sell stocks this year or next in order to pay the bills in retirement, selling this year might be the right choice. Now's the right time to get expert advice.
Review your will. Federal estate taxes were zero in 2010. This year, they are at 35 percent with a $5.12 million exclusion. On Jan. 1, the exclusion drops to $1 million and the tax rises to 55 percent. You don't have to be a zillionaire to leave a $1 million estate. In many parts of the country, a relatively modest home can be worth $1 million. Consider some strategies for sidestepping the problem so you don't leave your family with a big headache.
Consider your medical expenses. Starting next year, your out-of-pocket medical expenses must exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income in order to be deductible from your taxes. That's up from 7.5 percent this year. Also, the amount you can save in a tax-advantaged flexible spending account will be capped at $2,500. If you are going to get some dental work or your tummy tucked, do it this year instead of next.

Your style of rhyming is stretchy man. Good shit
Turn that beat up, it's dope.
Stretchy? It looks like you're giving me a compliment, but I'm not even sure what that means lol :P. Still, thank you.
In regards to the volume, will do. I'll rework the mastering on the track and make the beat louder, and hopefully I can re-upload it later today or tomorrow.
Thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked it.

I just had a moment. Looking out of my window at the rain over the city, this playing. It's was just a moment of awesome. I can't really describe it. But even though I don't usually listen to rap, I really like this.
Golly, thanks, that really means a lot to me! I'm glad you were able to enjoy this, even if rap isn't your preferred music genre.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, too!

By CALVIN PYNN
More than 75 percent of Virginia's school boards have passed resolutions in support of the August lawsuit filed by the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) and Norfolk City School Board.
The VSBA, along with 142 local school boards throughout Virginia, have joined together in order to contest the commonwealth's legal authority to take over and operate local schools. The lawsuit was filed to invalidate the 2013 legislation creating the Opportunity Educational Institution (OEI) and Opportunity Educational Institution Board.
The OEI would allow local authority for school boards to be placed into a larger state operated board if they appear to be underperforming. The legislation has been called unconstitutional, as the Constitution of Virginia specifically gives local school boards the authority to operate, build, consolidate and manage its own schools.
Jeff Bain, vice chairman for the Pulaski County School Board, said the state would be allowed to control all of the money allocated to a school under the authority of the legislation. That money would be transferred into the State General Fund, and then come out as they deem fit to operate that school.
"It's not just school divisions, but individual schools within divisions," Bain said. "That's why we're very upset and concerned about it, because we've had too many brilliant legal minds tell us that it's unconstitutional."
According to a news release from the Virginia School Board Association, 100 school boards across the state have passed resolutions. Among them are the New River Valley's local school boards, including Pulaski County, Wythe County, Radford City, and Montgomery County.
Additionally, Alexandria City's city council, Madison County's board of supervisors, and the Virginia Chapter of NAACP have passed resolutions in support of the suit.
According to Gina Patterson, executive director of the VSBA, the number of school divisions supporting the lawsuit is climbing every week.
"From every corner of the Commonwealth, the message is clear," said Patterson. "Violating Virginia's constitution, taking control of locally owned facilities, and requiring local communities to transfer their school division's funds to a board with no local connection is unacceptable."
In the release, Patterson also said that open communication, collaboration, and cooperation are what's truly needed to help students who are struggling.
