How Tibetans celebrate the new year - Losar
Not yet published by Keith Lyons
Country: Taiwan
The Experience
For Tibetans living in the greater Tibetan area, as well as those in exile overseas, the Tibetan New Year is an importance occasion. And it's a great time if you happen to be braving the winter in the Tibetan plateau or borderlands.
The new year celebrate often happens around the same time as the Chinese New Year, and like Chinese New Year, the event isn't just one day but a celebration that lasts for more than 2 weeks.
The festival has its origins in ancient Tibet, before the arrival of Buddhism, when Bon was the dominant religion, and many rituals were required to placate the spirits and deities to ensure a good harvest in the upcoming year. The focus is on purifying and getting ready for the new year.
In the lead up to the change of year, around some Tibetan areas the monasteries will hold elaborate rituals including mask dances to reinforce the virtues of a devout life, and also act out the battle between good and evil. The temples give offerings to the protector gods, while in people's houses they clean the house and their clothes in preparation for the new year.
When the 1st day of the 1st month of the new year begins, there is activity at the monasteries and in households, the head of the house will sometimes get up early to make offerings to the local water source and also outside the house to protect it.
On the times I've experienced Tibetan New Year with Tibetan families, the day starts with a simple meal together, with yak butter tea, roasted barley and perhaps some wheat bread. The first day is the most important, as the family are reunited for this occasion, as a sign of unity and harmony. Everyone wears their new or clean clothes, often their ethnic costume.
It varies from place to place, but on the first day, locals often visit the main monastery nearby, light incense and juniper, string up prayer flags, and leave offerings for the monastery.
Often each place will have a circuit - visit this monastery on the first day, another on the second, and another temple on the third day.
As well as a family and religious festival, Losar is also a community event. From the second day people go out to greet their neighbours, and bring gifts to thanks those who have helped them during the past year.
During the first few days, families often enjoy together special foods or delicacies. And in the evenings there might be singing and dancing, as well as drinking of barley wine or spirit.
So as a guest, what should you do? First, bring along some gifts for your hosts. Second, be prepared to greet each person with 'tashi delek' - a Tibetan greeting.
Third, be prepared to fully take part in whatever is happening. This might mean you have to sing a song from your country. Or join in the circle dancing.
Losar goes on for 15 days, to the new full moon. Across the Tibetan world, it is usually held in the dark days of winter, but can be a rare opportunity to experience Tibetan culture at its richest.
When to Go
Many choose Lhasa, the capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region, but for travel to this area you need a permit, a guide, and all the travel arrangements.
Which is why going to a Tibetan area outside the TAR is easier - Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan or Yunnan. You might also be able to combine your visit with other festivals and events, particularly in Yunnan and Sichuan, which has a variety of ethnic groups as well as distinct Tibetan groups.
Tour operators such as Lijiang Guides, CITS and Drolma Tours offer trips into Tibetan areas, and can include home stays with Tibetan families.
Odds n' Ends
You need to bring clothing for the cold, sub-zero temperatures at night time. During the day it is often sunny and warm.
In Tibetan areas, be careful not to point with your fingers at anything.

"The U.S. is a Bad Country"
|At the Korean Comfort Women protest this morning across from the Japanese embassy in Seoul
|A PAC-3 'missile defense' battery just visible over the wall at US's Osan AFB in South Korea
I began my day in Seoul by going to a protest by the Korean Comfort Women with Juyeon Rhee (fellow member of the US Solidarity Committee for Democracy & Peace in Korea). The well attended protest was observing the 70 anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese imperialism. This weekly protest of the Comfort Women began in 1991 and is held across the street from the Japanese embassy in Seoul. During WW II Japan forced more than 200,000 Korean women to serve as sex slaves for their imperial Army.
The Comfort Women continue to demand that the Japanese government issue an official apology (which they have yet to do), pay financial restitution to the women, and include the important story in Japanese school textbooks.
Following the protest we boarded a train for the two-hour trip south to the US's Osan Air Force Base in Pyeongtaek for a guided tour by a prominent local activist. We were driven around the perimeter of the bulging base that is now adding a second runway – likely as a result of Obama's 'pivot' of Pentagon forces into the Asia-Pacific to encircle China. (More airfields are needed for Pentagon warplanes.) In order to make the base expansion possible the US has forced the South Korean government to take even more lands from local farmers. Local citizens and their supporters resisted this land grab by waging a long fierce campaign but their villages and rice fields were eventually taken.
Osan AFB currently has F-16 and A-10 warplanes stationed there as well as the high-flying U-2 spy planes. In addition the air base hosts PAC-3 (Patriot third generation) missile defense systems that are aimed at China. Their job is to take out the retaliatory response following a US first-strike attack against Chinese nuclear forces.
The tour continued to the nearby US Army base called Camp Humphreys that is also undergoing major expansion. Similar to Osan AFB the US forced the grabbing of two rice-farming villages near the Army base to provide additional lands for the base expansion. These new facilities at Camp Humphreys will allow the US to move its current base inside downtown Seoul southward making it more difficult for North Korea to retaliate against the US bases following a Pentagon attack on the north.
We had dinner with one rice farmer who lost his land when his village was taken. He and others moved to another nearby location but they couldn't replace their rice farms in the local area. The farmer, now the mayor of his small village, had to buy new rice land two hours away and must make that long drive back and forth to work in his new rice fields. I was told he spent time in prison for "obstructing" the expansion of the Army base during their protest campaign.
The Pentagon currently has 27,500 troops in South Korea at 70 bases and military facilities. In order to pay for the current expansion of its bases the US has demanded that the South Korean government pay for the big changes taking place at these military outposts. (My liberal Democrat Congresswoman Chellie Pingree calls it 'burden sharing by the host nation'.) Thus for the Korean people it is a double insult – not only is their government an occupied client state of the US empire but the people must increasingly pay for unwanted US military operations inside of their country.
Our guide today several times, while driving us around the perimeter of the two bases, said, "The US is a bad country." I immediately thought how much I wished the American people could take this tour and hear his words. This remarkable activist also spent time in prison for trying to protect his people from the American assault on their culture and way of life. I was told that he helps take care of the elderly farmers who were not able to purchase new rice fields and now struggle to find ways to make money in order to survive.
I came away from Pyeongtaek today feeling sad, ashamed of the US, and disgusted with those many American people who don't really care what happens to the people around the world who are displaced by US military bases – or are killed by the soldiers that make war from these outposts on behalf of corporate capitalism.
I wish I could do even more to help spread solidarity for these good people who want nothing else but to be left alone.

The NBAA/Corporate Angel Network (CAN) soirée committee announced today that a private concert by legendary band Three Dog Night will be the capstone to this year's Soirée. This year's event to benefit CAN, the industry charity that arranges for cancer patients to fly to treatment in empty seats on business aircraft, will be held Wednesday, October 22, at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Ballroom as part of the 2014 NBAA Convention.
Besides the concert from the band, whose hits include "Mama Told Me," "Shambala" and "Try a Little Tenderness," the event will again feature silent and live auctions–the latter headed by auctioneer Spanky Assiter–as well as a cocktail networking hour and a dinner. The funds from these auctions will help CAN to continue transporting cancer patients to specialized and lifesaving treatment. CAN coordinates 250 patient flights each month and has arranged more than 45,000 flights since it was founded in 1981.
At last year's event in Las Vegas, the silent and live auctions raised nearly $440,000 for the organization. NBAA has set up a dedicated web page to register for the event, purchase tables and/or to donate auction items.

Slides often end this way, with the Mets taking out their frustration of the last four days with a 17-1 mauling of the Cubs this afternoon. Daniel Murphy, who hadn't homered since last July, went over the ivy twice to back the solid pitching of Jon Niese.
You can't call this a turnaround game unless they reel off a few more, but it was a good start heading into Los Angeles. At one point, the Dodgers were running away with the NL West, but after losing eight of their last ten games, including being swept by the rival Giants, Los Angeles finds itself tied for first with San Francisco.
Chris Young goes against former Met Chris Capuano (who should have been re-signed) tonight, but with R.A. Dickey and Johan Santanta going the next two nights, the Mets will have the pitching advantage. With Clayton Kershaw starting Sunday night, LA would get that pitching advantage thereby making the series a toss up. If the Mets come home from LA with a split, who wouldn't take that consider how this trip started?
As bad as the Mets played the first two games, they were that good today. Pitching and power; the Mets had it all together this afternoon. Will they keep it up over the weekend? It's possible, but they showed signs of life and answered being pushed around by pushing back.
With how the Mets played the first three months of the season, it was what we've come to expect.
As you can tell, I have not been around since Friday. I went in for surgery, had complications and only today have I been able to sit up without help. The only thing I could reach was the TV remote. Today is the first day since Friday that I've been online.
Helping me through this time have been the Mets and TV sports. In particular, the NBA playoffs. My basketball rooting interest are the Celtics and whatever team is playing Los Angeles and Miami. When those teams play I am paralyzed as to who I want to lose more, the Lakers or LeBron James' team. No, I won't get over it.
But, I must say, the Mets have been a joy to watch. R.A. Dickey is a great story and his contract should be extended. Time after time, he does it again. I wasn't crazy about the communication in left field between Mike Baxter and Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and the bullpen has been a challenge to watch.
I've been watching Ike Davis, and while I believe he'll get his swing fixed, the overriding question is when? I was against the minor leagues, but he's just not right.
I see where David Wright's average has dropped and threatening to dip below .400. I read with amusement where Terry Collins answered about Wright possibly challenging .400, saying he had the speed. What mumble jumble. If George Brett, Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs and Rod Carew all fell way short, how could anybody believe Wright can sustain that clip for the Mets?
Anyway, I said thank God for the Mets, and I meant it. Whomever your team is, give thanks for that. When people are down physically and mentally, or just shut ins, sports is their key to the outside and there's a lot of reason to give thanks for that.
I hate leaving the blog unattended, and tried to reach Joe DeCaro to post for me, only I learned he had surgery himself. The two of us should be on the DL.
Anyway, I hope you realize I was thinking about you guys while I was hurting and how I missed the communication with you. I need to reach out again to repair the damage from being away, but I hope you realize after all this time I wouldn't leave without saying a proper goodbye and something had to have come up.
It's still a thrill for me to watch the Mets, comment about them and read your responses. Thank you for that and I'll try to stay on my feet from now on.
Best to you all, JD
They are still talking about adding an extra wild card , but it won't end there. The one-game playoff is bound to drag on to three games, then five ….
I realize the old format will never be again, but the more you add to the playoff format the more the sport is diluted. The season drags on long enough as it is and this won't help matters. What if there's two teams vying for the final seed? Do you add another game?
The suggested format would allow the three division winners first-round byes, but what if one of the wild cards has a superior record to a division winner. That's not entirely fair, either.
As it is, the integrity of the regular season is compromised because of interleague play the unbalanced schedule as not every team runs the same race to October. Unfortunately, I never see them doing away with interleague play although it is not nearly the success Major League Baseball portrays it to be. Interleauge play is compelling in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but other than that, who really cares?
Yes, they'll show up in Pittsburgh when the Yankees are in town, but there's nothing exciting about seeing the Royals or Mariners come in. There's just not the draw MLB executives believe.
Sadly, as long as Bud Selig is commissioner, interleague play is here to stay.
If they really want to do something about the integrity of the regular season, and by extension, the playoffs, here's a system that could work.
I'd do away with the division format and simply have the two leagues. If they insist on interleague play, they could structure it where every team plays the same schedule. The same schedule promotes fairness.
From there, I'd take the top four teams and seed them so one plays four and two plays three. That would be a fairer and more equitable solution.
There are some impressive, heavyweight syndicates vying to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the latest entry the clear frontrunner in my opinion.
I'm thinking slam dunk for Joe Torre.
Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, has potentially the most financial clout, but Bud Selig and the owners will likely view him as a loose cannon, much the way NBA commissioner David Stern does.
The Magic Johnson and Steve Garvey groups bring a local flavor, but they don't have the cache of Torre.
As the sale of the Boston Red Sox proved, Selig leans toward his favorites and has long admired Torre. That Torre worked for Selig last season also gives him an insight into the inner workings of Major League Baseball the other groups lack.
Torre is a leader on so many levels, with respect within the baseball community and the Los Angeles business community. This is a man with integrity and clout. If he's truly sincere in this endeavor, I can't see the team being sold to anybody but him.

The company that brought it back to the U.S., BMW, doesn't have any other cars in KBB's decade-old Top 20 and isn't known for keeping its cars out of the shop for such long periods. The Mini's turned that idea on its head while giving owners of its original 2002 incarnation the same 1.6-liter, 115-horsepower engine that made the car so fun to drive in the first place. That horsepower number may seem a bit undersized compared with 160-horsepower midsized cars on the morning commute, but that horsepower is pushing a svelte 2,300-pound car and taking turns like a BMW twice its size. The look of the car turned people onto it immediately, but the drive and standard features such as six-way manually adjustable faux-leather seats, a tilt steering wheel, centrally mounted speedometer, air conditioning, a six-speaker stereo with CD changer pre-wiring, speed-sensitive intermittent wipers and power windows, locks and mirrors didn't hurt. It's also a safe little box with ABS, cornering assist, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, head airbags and a crash sensor that turns on the hazard and interior lights automatically and unlocks all the doors in the event of a collision. You'll have to cross your fingers and hope the original owner spung for the premium package if you want cruise control or a sunroof, but it'll look just as sexy while giving owners minimal hassle for their money.

Mayhem # 1472516
About MeThanks for checking out my page,
A little about myself I'm an artist turned architect. The professional philosophy I've developed and followed could simply be called "Follow the Form". Think of it this way has anyone ever had to tell you what an attractive person looks like? Hopefully probably not. Most of us are hard wired that way a good design, figure drawing or even building should tap into some of that.
So I draw every chance I get & when you look at my buildings, furniture and art the subtle curves and proportioning of the human form is built in. Most people seem to like it, although they couldn't tell you why. In my mind that's good design.
I do (2) types of sittings the first is just drawing it's set up the same way as any college level figure drawing class. 1 minute poses for 15 minutes, 5 minute poses for a half hour (2) 15 minute poses (1) half hour long pose.
The second type of sitting is more like a photo shoot, I use photography as my set-up medium for my charcoal pencil and ink wash paintings, and each photo-shoot lasts approximately 1 hr, and consists of 50-100 photos. This type of sitting is normally for creating commercial art. If the model is interested in doing a TFP shoot a CD will be made available of the shoot & if he or she is interested in purchasing the original art or print a knock down rate can be negotiated.
Thanks for your interest,

Jason Heyward was hit by a Jon Niese fastball in the top of the 6th inning of the Atlanta Braves' final game of their two game series with the New York Mets at Citi Field.
The pitch hit Heyward squarely in the right side of his jaw, just below the ear. He was able to walk off, but appeared to be understandably disoriented by the 94 mph fastball from left-hander Jon Niese.
Heyward has seen the Mets in-stadium doctor, and is currently waiting in the Braves' training room, awaiting transport to a local Manhattan hospital. Heyward refused a stretcher, and left the stadium walking with an ice pack on his jaw.
Bearing in mind, Citi Field has in-house x-ray capabilities, as Tim Hudson did not require a trip to the hospital when his ankle was injured by Eric Young Jr, it makes Heyward's trip to an outside hospital that much more disconcerting for Braves fans.

As a photographer, one of the things I've long wanted to do was chase and photograph epic storms. Alas, all of my other responsibilities keep me from roaming the country for weeks at a time in hopes of capturing that awesome moment. For some brave souls however, it's a way of life (at least during storm season). The incredible time-lapse video below was shot by Mike Olbinski over 18 days of chasing. He says of this endeavor:
"Blood. Sweat. Tears. Joy. That's what this spring was for me. The miles, the grind, the failing, the epic days missed, the lack of sleep, the jubilation, the friendships strengthened, and the time away from my family. And when the chasing was all done…wondering, was worth it all?
Heck yeah it was."
For a great write-up of the effort, be sure to open this in Vimeo and read the description.

Singer and actor Rain who is currently serving in the Korean military made a surprise appearance that shocked his fans.
Rain unexpectedly attended a special event for the new film 'R2B : Return to Base' held in Seoul on August 22nd.
Yoon Joon Sang and Kim Sung Soo who were present at the event were greeting the fans, when out of the blue, they asked the audience members, "Who here is currently a soldier? Raise your hand."
Hearing his cue, Rain who was seated amongst the audience raised his hand, causing the fans that were present to shriek in pleasant surprise.
Until now, Rain who plays an important role in the film had been unable to participate in any promotions for the film, due to his military service. His hand-written letters read out loud at promotional events made fans want to see him even more, and Kim Sung Soo suggested Rain make a surprise appearance to greet and thank the fans.
Rain received a 4-night 5-day temporary leave from the military, and returns on August 23rd.

Women in Saudi Arabia are often described as either victims of patriarchal religion and society or successful survivors of discrimination imposed on them by others. Madawi Al-Rasheed's new book goes beyond these conventional tropes to probe the historical, political and religious forces that have, across the years, delayed and thwarted their emancipation. The book demonstrates how, under the patronage of the state and its religious nationalism, women have become hostage to contradictory political projects that on the one hand demand female piety, and on the other hand encourage modernity. Drawing on state documents, media sources and interviews with women from across Saudi society, the book examines the intersection between gender, religion and politics to explain these contradictions and to show that, despite these restraints, vibrant debates on the question of women are opening up as the struggle for recognition and equality finally gets under way.
'This book deserves praise - and more importantly - to be read by those with an interest in Saudi Arabia or a desire to learn more about the factors and mechanisms that contribute to women's continued marginalisation worldwide.' - Times Higher Education

As mentioned in a recent article by Orange County Register columnist, Jon Lansner, new homes sales are on the rise.
Although all of the Irvine new home sites are experiencing an increase in sales, one of the fastest selling projects in town is by The New Home Co. in the Portola Springs area called Lambert Ranch.
Lambert Ranch features a collection of five and six-bedroom floor plans that range from 2,730 to 5,182 square feet.
Prices start in the $900,000s and go up from there. Many of the floor plans feature a private "life space" with a separate entrance that can be used as an office, bonus room or separate living area for additional family members.
The floor plans have been designed to easily allow more than one generation to live together.
The builder even offers an option that will allow two adjoining homes to be purchased without a fence in between (i.e. one backyard, one common area).
But one of the biggest draws for Lambert Ranch is the fact that there are no Mello Roos taxes for buyers to pay.
A Mello Roos district is an area where a special property tax on real estate, in addition to the normal property tax, is imposed on individual property owners.
The taxes are used to pay bonds that were issued for the purpose of financing public improvements and services such as streets, water, sewage and drainage, electricity, infrastructure and schools.
For some new home developments, the Mello Roos assessment can add as much as 1 percent of the sales price to the property tax amount on an annual basis.
To illustrate, an $800,000 new home could come with up to $8,000 a year more in annual property taxes.
The developers for Lambert Ranch paid for the infrastructure costs up front, which is why Lambert Ranch has no Mello Roos assessment for individual homeowners.
So far that formula has been successful, with the builder selling out all 55 homes that have been released since April.
The builder expects to release another 12 home sites this weekend, and to be completely sold out within a year.

POLE vaulter Jack Phipps - who has his sights on the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 - visited Little Lever High School to inspire the next generation of athletes.
The 19-year-old who is a student at Loughbrough University, where he is studying for a degree in business management, visited the school through Sports 4 All UK Ltd.
It organises visits by Olympic and professional athletes to inspire children to get involved in sport.
Jack took an assembly for year seven and eight pupils before working with 40 gifted and talented youngsters.
Head of girls' physical education, Jenna Bannister, said: "The young people were inspired.
"He showed them how to pole vault and afterwards spoke to them in a feedback session about teamwork and co-operation."
"A couple of our students said they would continue the sport. They would never have thought of taking up this sport if Jack had not visited the school."
Jack spends his time visiting a number of schools.
He said: "We want to get younger people into sport and understand athletes are able to compete in high level sports but still be involved in education."

London (Nov. 14)
What appears to be a determined effort to suppress the activities of the Palestine Telegraphic Agency, the Palestinian link in the world-wide news gathering service of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and to obtain control of the news service to and from Palestine, on the part of the Palestinian government, is indicated in the cancellation of a concession granted to the Palestine Telegraphic Agency. It appears that the Palestinian government, in expectation of terminating the work of the Palestine Telegraphic Agency, is preparing to replace it with a news service controlled and manipulated by the government.
Last Spring an arrangement was concluded by which the Palestine Telegraphic Agency became the Palestine representative of Reuters, the latter placing at the disposal of the P. T. A. a daily cable service consisting of the
(Continued on Page 4)
(Continued from Page 1) most important news items to the extent of 7,500 words a month. At the same time Reuters agreed to take the P. T. A. news from Palestine. At this point it is well to note that in Palestine the P. T. A. is a general news agency and not only a Jewish news agency.
As the basis of the five year agreement with Reuters the latter placed at the disposal of the P. T. A. an arrangement it had made with the Palestine authorities according to which the Palestine administration agreed to waive the local terminal charge (landing tolls) of 6.25 gold centimes per word on condition that Government headquarters receive gratis one copy of all Reuters news telegrams. Before entering into the agreement with the P. T. A. an inquiry from Reuters to the Palestine government as to whether P. T. A. would be considered a suitable agent was answered in the affirmative. On May 8, the Palestine government agreed to waive the local terminal charges as regards all Reuters telegrams. The concession went into operation on June first and was terminated October first. In answer to a request made by Jacob Landau, managing director, to the Palestine Government to reconsider this question, an answer was received from Chief Secretary H. C. Luke, refusing this request but indicating that the government was prepared to take into its own hands the manipulating of Reuters service in Palestine.
That the cancellation of the concession is part of a general policy to obtain control of the news service to and from Palestine, upon which the Palestine government has embarked is evidenced by the fact that through the Colonial Office, it tried to bring pressure to bear upon the "London Times" who had appointed as its representative in Palestine Gershon Agronsky, the correspondent for the P. T. A. and the J. T. A.
Difficulties encountered by Pierre Van Paassen, a special representative of the J. T. A. in Palestine and also acting for the "Evening World," in obtaining usual post office facilities for collecting messages, the suspension of the Hebrew daily, "Davar," for publishing a document which had received publicity in hundreds of newspapers throughout the world, are further indications of the government's efforts to make the press of Palestine dependent on news sources which would be in the hands of the government.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have a low-key visit when he calls on Donald Trump today. With Indian stocks at record highs, here are some picks to consider.
Tata purchased Jaguar Land Rover for $2.4 billion in 2008.
Tony Fernandes and AirAsia are making the right noises in entering the Chinese air industry. But is it a smart move or brave folly?
TAL Manufacturing Solutions, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors, has built an industrial robot which helps manufacturers increase productivity 15%-30%.
India is starting to demonstrate many characteristics that drove Chinese growth at a rapid clip in recent years.

Tata Motors (TTM) stock is rising after the company released its global wholesale figures for September.
The bears are firmly in control of Tata Motors.
Investors in Tata Motors Ltd saw new options become available today, for the January 2018 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 858 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration.
While some may argue the worst is already discounted, the charts have yet to bottom.
In the United States, sales could hit 20 million new cars and trucks by 2017. Which car makers will benefit?
European markets fell on Friday, following another selloff in Asia, as investors remained largely unmoved by relatively upbeat data on the eurozone manufacturing and services sectors.
India's Tata Motors will build its next assembly plant for the iconic British luxury cars in Slovakia. Mexico and the U.S. lost out.
The world's most beautiful SUV is also the best at handling. However, you may want to wait for the diesel version in the fall.
The J.D. Power Initial Quality Index report says that Korean cars have fewer problems in the first 90 days of ownership than Japanese vehicles.
Korean cars are the top quality vehicles by a growing stretch.
Cramer is avoiding Tata Motors, likes Ambarella over GoPro and thinks it's time to start a position in ConocoPhillips.
The free fall in transportation stocks may be over and that's good for the rest of the markets, Cramer says.

Is it a good idea to sell to WeBuyYourHome.Com and rent back?
I've looked at these We Buy Any House.Com etc type websites - are they for real? I realise they'll only offer around 90% if you're lucky but to stay in the house via rental is better than moving isn't it?

It works for some people which is why companies such as these exist, you need to establish how much the rent is and for how long this is set for, as for some people the monthly rent is higher than their mortgage meaning they sell their house for a lot less than could get, fall behind in the rent and are evicted so be very careful on what you decide. Also typically they will offer 90% OF THE FORCED SALE PRICE. this is the price that it is guaranteed the property wil sell in 4 weeks so much lower than the open market value, then subtract 10% It may be worth looking to see if your local council is offering the governments shared ownership scheme or any assistance should you be facing difficulties.Answered on Sep 9 2010, Report content
If they gave you 90% of the house value, you would see flying pigs. The catch could be a very high rent, way over it's worth and you could be tied in for a long period. Usually they give very little for properties. We considered this when moving from Essex and the offer on our house was 38% under the lowest valuation from 3 agents in area. If you need to stay where you are and can't afford the mortgage I would consider auctioning the house. These companies are there to give little for houses for maximum profit, depends on how desperate you are.Answered on Sep 9 2010, Report content
There are many fast sell companies out there, I suggest you Google search this and do some homework on a few of them, I do not know the company you have mentioned so cannot comment. Try and find out if they a regulated by the National Association of Estate Agents or the Ombudsman Scheme this should give you peace of mind if you decide to go down this route.Answered on Sep 9 2010, Report content
Thanks all - I believe that these places have to be regulated by the FSA now. They're basically - from what I can tell - people atfer making money from your own personal circumstances. You're down and they pounce. I'm sure some people benefit and are happy with their services, but I bet they would have prefered the extra few thousand if they'd had the time to sell through the usual channels.Answered on Sep 9 2010, Report content

The maker of Lucozade, the sports energy drink, has lost an attempt to prove that it is a "functional food" rather than a beverage, in a ruling that means that the product will be subject to VAT.
Lucozade was trying to prove that the drink is a functional food rather than a beverage, and therefore zero-rated for VAT under section eight to the Value Added Tax Act 1994. Most food is zero-rated for VAT.
However, in a ruling in September (GlaxoSmithKline v HMRC FTC/06/2011) the Tax and Chancery Upper Tribunal ruled that Lucozade Sport is mainly drunk for hydration and pleasure and should be classed as a beverage.

Aim to be famous..." One of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu's seven aims for the
company and its staff. (Others include "Recruit and retain the best" and "Have
fun and celebrate.")
When the multinational firm of accountants sent the headhunters into the
corporate jungle to find someone who could deliver on this particular definition
of the Deloittes man or woman, they got it - and some - when they bagged Louise
McBride, 40, was born into fame, married it, and has worn it for years
herself like an Hermes kid glove. She is also an international tax lawyer. The
two, until now, have been less than compatible in her professional life.
International tax experts are not only not supposed to be famous or have fun,
they are very rarely women. McBride is one of a scant handful of women in
Australia practising at the highest level in this abstruse, high-yield area of
She is also arguably the tallest poppy in the overlapping worlds she inhabits
- the arena of corporate law and the equally competitive register of Sydney
society, where she appears both in her own right and as a corporate wife (she is
married to Greg Daniel, the former deputy chairman of Clemenger and coalition
supporter who is plugged into Sydney's business, political and social networks).
Always glamourous and occasionally jaw-droppingly expensive in Chanel couture
(her orders from the Paris shows are made up at an atelier after several
personal fittings) she cuts a swathe through the City's tide of genderless
pin-stripes. (It was ever thus. At Sydney University in the late 70s her
denim-clad peers remember her standing out. "We often wondered if she'd mistaken
lectures for a cocktail party," said one.)
Clothes are McBride's release and hobby. "I've always loved the theatre of
costume," she said. "As a child I loved dressing up. Carla Zampatti says I'm a
frustrated wardrobe mistress." The expensive ones are an occasional treat. Her
first Chanel suit (red, couture) was a present she promised herself when she
made partnership. "As a schoolgirl I loved Roses for Mrs Harris, the story about
a charlady who saves up for a Christian Dior couture ballgown. Some people buy
flats and shares. I reward myself with clothes."
In the small field of wealthy career women and rich men's wives, she carries
the best Kelly bag (ostrich skin, not calf, a 40th birthday present to herself).
She has the intellectual edge too - a masters degree in law and an IQ well over
Not to mention the rest - a $1.85 million Whale Beach home and two children,
Unity, 10 and Hunter, 3. She is also the daughter of the country's best known
fallen icon, William McBride, the obstetrician who alerted the world to the
tragedy of the anti-morning sickness drug, thalidomide. Dr McBride was struck
off the NSW Medical Register in 1993 after a medical tribunal found him guilty
of scientific fraud over his investigation into another drug which he believed
was also causing birth defects. .. last week he was
His daughter did not grow up a political wimp. A passionate believer in
radical tax reform, Louise McBride is perhaps best described as a neo-Liberal,
an economic libertarian. Using tax to redistribute wealth, she argues, is an
outdated concept which has never worked.
She is an outspoken critic of Labor's recent tax policies - like Bob Carr's
land tax, which she says fails to differentiate between short and long term
landholders, and Kim Beazley's "vision-less" election tax plan. Neither did the
Howard Government (which she has advised on tax) take reform far enough - she'd
have liked to see significant cuts to both corporate and personal tax rates so
the wealthy have further incentive to invest. She also argues that the
definition of income must be broadened; deductions removed; the tax-free
threshhold raised and a flat tax introduced.
McBride's network - including Nick Greiner, Mark Burrows, Helen Lynch,
Malcolm Turnbull, David Clarke, David Gonski, Belinda Hutchinson - reads like a
CBD column. She has a healthy media profile and is in demand as a speaker;
during the election campaign she addressed a Liberal Party lunch attended by
Treasurer Peter Costello, James Packer and a swag of high profile coalition
In short, Louise McBride is out there. Famous. Much of what she does is
noticed, very often envied, and frequently talked about. When she left the
mega-legal firm Clayton Utz, where she had been the sole female partner in the
prestigious corporate division for four years, to join the bean-counters at
Deloittes as an international tax partner, the gossip-raddled Sydney legal
fraternity spun into a frenzy.
Citing "family reasons" for her departure from Claytons, McBride flew off on
an overseas holiday, leaving in her fragrant wake a grapevine sizzling with
stories - that she had been sacked, that she had counter-sued, that she clashed
with other partners, that she had had enough of the masculine world of law, that
she wanted to spend more time with her family.
The managing partner at Clayton Utz, Glenn Eggleton told the Herald there had
been no sacking. "The fact is Louise resigned," Mr Eggleton said. "She is a
very competent tax lawyer and a highly talented woman."
McBride refused to comment on the gossip. Her reasons for leaving Clayton Utz
to join Deloittes, she told the Herald, centred around the fact that the
US-based accounting giant was able to offer her not only a bigger international
stage for work, but more flexibility in her personal life and a culture which
encouraged a high profile.
Deloittes, one of accounting's Big Five, has award-winning policies for
retaining and promoting women, and is aggressively marketing its tax business.
In August the company sponsored the Financial Review's wrap-around coverage of
the Federal Government's tax package, using large photographs of its tax
experts, Chet Wood, Steve Towers, David Hastings, Peter Blackwood and the
freshly recruited McBride.
"We look for people with something more than just technical competence," said
Lynn Odland, Deloittes' American-born CEO. "We want world class tax
professionals with great business networks and energy. We liked Louise for all
those reasons."
That McBride has left the law firm came as no surprise to those people who
know her well. Legal culture is essentially conservative and collegiate;
individuals rarely lift their heads from the fee-generating ruck and
self-promotion is still regarded as faintly declasse.
One legal source said McBride's glamorous lifestyle and high media profile
was "intensely disliked". A story (which McBride refused to confirm) was that
she clashed vigourously with a group of partners over the promotion of a woman
who had children and worked part-time. (Clayton Utz is regarded as a tough
environment; unlike some mega-firms it has no part-time female partners.)
Investment banker Mark Burrows had been pushing McBride to move for years.
"Law, where you are seen as a processor, not an originator, is too narrow for
her," Burrows told the Herald. "It's also a very male driven culture. Louise is
talented and eclectic. She needed a wider stage."
McBride, who was headhunted for Deloittes by Heidrick and Struggles' Jocelyn
Denhert, said that during her interviews with Deloittes she laid everything on
the table. "I told them my husband was on boards, we go out a lot, I am
outspoken, I wear expensive clothes and I love having a social life. They said,
'Great, you are the sort of person we want.'
"They made it clear that the company was a flexible workplace commited to
encouraging diversity."
Before moving she sought the counsel of a number of people in the business
community, notably, company director Helen Lynch, whom she contacted through
Nick Greiner. Lynch said she found McBride to be "incredibly bright, a
progressive professional and a business woman."
"As for her leaving a law firm," Lynch said, "She's made a significant
contribution in assisting her profession to think about how to maximise their
strengths by exploiting diversity," Lynch said.
LOUISE McBride is one of two daughters and two sons born to William McBride
and Patricia Glover, both doctors. A highly strung little girl with a strong
perfectionist streak, she struggled at school, PLC Croyden, suffering a learning
disability which made reading and writing difficult.
"In primary school I was told I was dyslexic. When I got to high school
things got better, but later, it didn't matter how many awards and degrees I
got, there was still a voice inside me saying 'You can't write or spell'."
McBride's childhood sense of failure, as well as growing up in the shadow of
a famous father, combined to make her an over-achiever, driven at times to
"When I was a partner and pregnant with Hunter, I was working on a really big
transaction, getting home at 2 and 3 am. I worked right up to the day before he
was born. Two mates escorted me to the carpark and told the security men to
lock me out!
"There's this culture among some women lawyers to pretend they're not
pregnant. They tell war stories about going from the office to the labour ward.
It's rubbish. I'm not proud of the fact I did it."
McBride, who relies heavily on a nanny for her children's care and is often
home at Whale Beach well after they are asleep, said she gets the "nervous
nellies" about being a good mother. "You think you're not doing it very well.
But then, if my children are as proud of me as I am of my mother, then that will
be a good thing."
She returned to work full-time after a few months off following their births.
"My mother said I should get my career under control first. She said children
need you most when they get a bit older."
Her role as working mother provides occasional grist for the gossip mill at
the eastern surburbs' school gates. One story, that she employed two nannies,
one for weekdays and one for weekends, reached mythical proportions.
"I did, while I was doing my honours year for my Masters of Law. I was
working full time and trying to write my paper on the weekends. I couldn't rely
on Greg to do anything domestic. I'd find Unity eating biscuits for dinner in
front of TV and Greg would say 'Well that's what she wanted!'
"One day Unity asked me if I didn't like looking after her. I sat her down
and explained that I loved her very much and I tried to explain why I was so
driven, but I couldn't. It was a terrible moment."
McBride is candid about the impact of her father's fall from grace on her
"spoilt" life. "I was 30 when it happened, Unity was just born. I had this
lovely lifestyle which I thought would go on. But when it unravelled I had to
grow up a lot. There were people who thought it would bring me down a peg or
As the eldest, and a lawyer, McBride took on the role of supporting her
parents emotionally and explaining the complexities of the medical tribunal
hearings. She was frustrated with her father's performance as a witness
("Terrible! He tried to remember everything. His files were in a mess - he used
to write things on the backs of envelopes"); and she became disillusioned with
the media, and the political and legal processes.
"Then I became philosophical. The tide comes in and the tide goes out.
There's nothing you can do to turn it around."
McBride believes one day her father's theory will be proven correct. "When I
was growing up I saw my father as a god. I had to realise that he was human. But
he's still a very good human, genuinely concerned for others.
"I love and admire my father. I never once saw him feel sorry for himself or
hold a grudge. He taught me a lot about resiliance."
Perhaps this has helped McBride avoid the scars of battle - a guarded
brittleness - acquired by some women who have succeeded in the blokey rugby
scrum of law and business. While highly ambitious, she has remained, in the
words of a friend, "a girl"; romantic, utterly feminine, passionate on issues
she believes in, and at times, astoundingly candid.
But there is a tough, hard-nosed practitioner inside the velvet package. When
it comes to tax, McBride brooks no argument - "the most complex tax legislation
in the world" needs a complete overhaul.
"The concept that tax must be used to redistribute wealth belongs in the
19th century. I'd prefer to see a system which encourages wealth creation and
allows people to keep more of what they earn. It encourages investment.
"Imagine if you told Carl Lewis he had to wear weights so the others in the
race could catch up. The Tax Act takes away disproportionately higher amounts of
income from those who work harder and earn more. That's where people like me,
tax lawyers, become attractive."
An admirer of the work of Stanford economists Robert Hall and Alvin Rabushka,
who have spent 20 years modelling a flat tax of 19 per cent, McBride's most
radical proposal is for a flat tax here.
"The current tax system has pushed nearly 20 per cent of all full-time
employed persons into the top marginal tax bracket compared with about one per
cent in 1954-55.
"A flat tax regime, combined with a complete overhaul of the current system,
would revolutionise the way we live. I'd like to see a big bang. Soon."

Cheesy Baked Egg and Bacon Benedict
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
This takes no time at all to make, and makes a great weekend brunch! Serve this over toated English muffin halves, it's delicious! For this recipe use the thin-sliced bacon (uncooked) you can use the thicker sliced but you will have to partailly cook it first before using in this dish..
Top Review by LAURIE
I divided this in thirds to make. The first casserole I made as directed using 5 slices bacon, 4 eggs 1/3 cup cream, 2/3 cup swiss and about 1/8 cup parm cheese in a 8x8 pan, and served it over english muffins, DS and DD#1 loved it and both thought it did resemble eggs benedict. It is very rich and filling. I am not a lover of eggs with yolks I can see, (I know Im wierd) so I made another 8x8 casserole with 5 slices bacon, 2/3 cup swiss, 4 eggs, slightly beaten, 1/3 cup cream over the top and the parm. This was good and rich also. DS liked them both. I would like to try it with a thin canadian bacon or ham. Wither way this is a great casserole and very quick to put together. This smaller casseroles did not take the full 10 minutes at 425, more like 8 minutes. Thanks Kitten!

CRYP is reaching out to its supporters and friends this week in a final push to bring Santa Claus to more than 1,600 children on South Dakota's remote, 2.8-million-acre Cheyenne River Lakota reservation. According to Julie Garreau, CRYP's executive director, more than 400 "Dear Santa" letters remain to be adopted—with just five days left until Christmas.
Already, volunteers from across the United States and as far away as Ireland are converging on Santa's Workshop at CRYP to sort and wrap thousands of gifts. These dedicated helpers work around the clock to ensure that each child will receive two or three gifts from his or her personal letter, as well as much-needed winter clothing and shoes.
The good news is that it's not too late to help.
"At this point in December, there's no question that donations are down over previous years," Garreau said. "That being said, we know from experience that incredible things can happen in the last few days before the holiday.
"Supporters absolutely can contact us to adopt letters, if they would like to fulfill the children's Christmas wishes and send the gifts to our campus in Eagle Butte," she continued. "If it's easier, however, simply click the 'Donate' button on our website and make an online contribution. It's fully tax deductible, and we'll do the shopping on our end to make sure all the children who wrote letters to Santa have the happy, joyful Christmas they so richly deserve."

THERE was a ring of familiarity about Venus Williams's Australian Open experience as she won her second-round match on Wednesday night to set up an enticing third-round clash with Maria Sharapova.
The meeting of the two former world No.1s was sealed when Williams won in straight sets over France's Elize Cornet in a match that despite its 6-3, 6-3 scoreline was more difficult than it needed to be.
Williams, the 25th seed, and Sharapova the second seed, have 11 grand-slam singles trophies between them - Williams seven, Sharapova four, including the 2008 Australian Open title - but both have not won a slam in some time.
''I better bring my best game against her,'' Williams said when asked about her prospects against Sharapova, who leads Williams 4-3 in head-to-head encounters. But the American has won their only two grand-slam meetings in straight sets, at Wimbledon in 2005 and 2007, going on to win the championship both times.
At 32, this is Williams's 13th Australian Open and her 58th grand slam tournament. She hasn't made it past the fourth round of a slam since the 2010 US Open.
Sharapova's form during the first two rounds has been faultless - she hasn't dropped a game in either of her matches.
Williams wasn't so convincing against Cornet. She lost the first two games of the match and went down a break of serve early in the second set. Both times she responded well and showed she still packs an enormous punch at her best, winning six of the last seven games of the first set and the last four of the match.
Sharapova said their records would mean little when they took to the court. ''I hope for it to be a great match. You certainly know what she's capable of,'' she said. ''But when you're out on the court, you're not thinking about how many titles she's won … You're thinking about what you need to do to step it up … and win as many points as you can.''

Pingback: Muslim head scarf controversy: When does curiosity become discrimination? | TokNok Multi Social Blogging Solutions()
Of course they always attack a Muslim if its a girl. I doubt these islamophobes would have the balls to say such utter hatred to my face without pissing themselves when they realize how tall I seem up close. Bigots are cowards, people with a inferiority complex who have to hate on a group, especially one that is targeted by fellow bigots to make up for qualities they lack. They never attack the strong members but seek out the most vulnerable. Their hatred is the only thing that fills the void, which they can never satisfy. Eventually they are consumed by their hatred and reach a stage where they most likely beyond reasoning. Thanks to fascist organizations head by the likes of Gaffney, Geller, Spencer, and Gabriel, these bigots now have an outlet that serves as a buffet to feed their hatred. it's no surprise the more a individual is overtaken by hate, the more likely they are to commit violence. But when the targets of these organizations grow in strength and fight back and society accepts that group, these hateful coalitions go into a frenzy.

Man WTF is wrong with some people?
They were shouting "Baltagya" which is Egyptian Arabic for Hooligan or Barbarian.
Love that clip 😀
Jeez what an ass >:(

What kind of rally was that? And what did the crowd shout after the incident?
Jon Diamond
Yet another wanna be American hero attacking a woman.
This is the kind of action that the loons try to use against Muslims. They say we are disrespectful and violent of women. What was that?
What I posted in the story about the woman on the bus, harassed because she is wearing a hijab, also applies here. This loser did not have the courage to pick on a man. Instead he went after a woman.
He is also very lucky he did not do this in Texas. Because he is such a big guy, his hands can be considered deadly weapons and he could face stiff penalties for assaulting someone.
Then again, many people in Texas have a concealed handgun licenses. He probably would not have lasted too long down here.

I first ehard Hal when they supported the Doves in Cambridge. As soon as I heard them I fell in love with them. They have some amazingly catchy songs and some great composings. This is a brilliant first album for them they are sure to go places. The song which caught my eye as soon as I heard it was I Sat Down which I think is still one of the top 3 songs on there. You can really hear the influences of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Thrills. If you like the typical Irish rock then these shall be no exception to your CD collection, they really have it all together. Like the Thrills they are from Dublin and, like I said, really do take something from them. This is one brillaint album full of catchy, structured songs with a real 'Irish rock' feel to them. You cna tell why they chose Play the Hits, I Sat Down and Worry About The Wind to eb the singles. The really are some of the ebst songs on there. Not sayin that the rest is bad though no way.
Lyrics — 9
I haven't really focused on the lyrics because I'm not to bothered about how good or bad they are really, because they're expressing they're feelings. However I some of it is a bit weird. A song about sitting and lying down? I know this is probably metaphorical or symbolism but it's just wierd. But otherwise I really do like they're lyrcis, theyre memorable. Especially the choruses they are sang and figured so well just get you singing. The singer has a very young voice and can really reach those nots. Wow it makes my Ears sore in My Eyes Are Sore (not in a bad way, it's just very high pitched).
Overall Impression — 10
Like I said (3rd time) thye are very like the Thrills, but not too similar. There are so many decent songs on here. The best being these: Worry About The Wind, I Sat Down, Don't Come Running, What A Lovely Dance. I would definetly buy this again it is so catchy and unique in its own way. It's amazing.

Here's a chic alternative to your regular rectangular shawl – one with armholes knit in so you can wear it as a vest and allow the gorgeous length of lace to cascade down the front. Style it with a shawl pin (as shown at right) or leave it open.
A heavenly kid mohair/silk blend yarn in this lovely light grey shade makes this a "goes-with-everything" item that is nothing short of stunning.
A little bit of fabric up top serves as a soft layer gathering against your neck. Two different lace designs keep the project interesting.
Deep armholes allow you to layer this over tanks or long sleeves to maximize its versatility. Who says chasing the chill away can't be easily disguised as you dressing with elegance and style?

[1]Brian Vickers, who has been sidelined for the rest of the Sprint Cup Series season [2] after a blood clot was found in his leg, said that he will be back with Michael Waltrip Racing in 2014.
He said:
I feel like I could drive a race car, I just can't. I feel great. Still training, still exercising. I can't complain. … I'm frustrated and I've been bummed since obviously all this happened again. I'm just kind of looking forward. Things happen in life — that's part of it. You just keep fighting and have faith. That's all you can really do. I'm going to be out for three months and back in time for Daytona to race for a championship.
Vickers said that he suffered a mild foot sprain after a crash at Bristol Motor Speedway. He had to wear a walking boot to immobilize his right ankle, and that boot caused the clot.
He indicated that because both clots he suffered were not randomly produced, he has a better chance of returning to racing. He said:
It's not the clot and it's not that I can't race on blood thinners it's just that I can't crash. As long as I can promise my doctors that I will not crash then they're fine with me racing. Unfortunately, there's a lot of moving parts in a car that I can't control and 42 competitors that I can't control. I can't firmly commit to that so he would rather me not race. The risk is not even so much external injury like a cut or something, it's really more of an internal injury. They wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding.
Vickers also missed a large portion of 2010 [3] after blood clots were found in his legs [4] and around his lungs.

The image of the target emerges in Johns' work in 1955, in paintings that incorporate friezelike arrangements of plaster casts taken from parts of the body. These two early constructions, Target with Plaster Casts and Target with Four Faces, are included in the exhibition, along with many paintings and drawings of the target image from 1958 to 1961. Each of these Target paintings by Johns features a depiction of an actual target that is, for all practical purposes, utterly interchangeable with the real thing. Yet unlike the flag or the number, which are also familiar images from this period of the artist's career, the flat target is simultaneously representational and abstract (a number or a flag can never be divorced from its status as a familiar sign). This makes the target susceptible to other ambiguities. Targets imply, or are instruments of, seeing across space (and seeing as an act of potential violence). But the optical nature of the concentric bands can also be understood to figure distraction rather than focus, something that is also suggested by the mechanical action of a rotating compass by which the image of a target is produced.
States of visual attention are further conjured by Johns' monochromatic target paintings (in white, gray, or green); there the bands are barely discernible, thus defeating the conventional role of the target as an object and a sign. Labor is also a factor in the meaning of the work: the sheer number of targets Johns produced during this period and the careful accumulation of graphic marks or brushstrokes (or of bits of paper in works that employ the technique of collage) signify processes of repetition that reflect the passage from fixation to trance.

In the most shocking incident the country has ever witnessed since partition, Salman Khan punched King Khan Shahrukh in the face. The incident happened in Mumbai Dehboob studio.
Producer Vinay LakshmanJethmalani, who was a witness for this terrible incident, says, "We, a group of 10 people, were around them and Shahrukh said something about Salman's new movie and the rift began. I heard Sallu saying that it even collected more than 120 crores and how many of SRK's film can collect that much?"
A unit boy, Jagjit Subramanya Vinayakam, said, "I didn't see much, a light and an explosion. Because both are big stars, so when they collided, there was too much light in the air that a human eye can stand. I just saw two stars approaching each other and bam, I just got thrown away."
Ananya Bharathvaasi, an item dancer who recently got kicked out of a song audition for the film Kick, opined, "I thought Sallu Bhai would watch my dance and make me the heroine of his next action film but unfortunately SRK was there and he suddenly went into 'action mode".
Okay, Now stop reading, let us tell you a truth- this is an 'unreal article' about the superstars as today is April 1 st, which means APRIL FOOLS' DAY.
Sorry folks, for the fake drama!
Salman and Shahrukh neither met in Mehboob Studio today nor they fought each other. For your information, the reigning superstars are very much in good terms and respect each other to a great extent.
By the way, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY, guys!

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
This is Dr. Christian. Welcome to JustAnswer.
Has she had any vomiting? Do you think she is drinking or urinating more than usual?
I haven't seen any vomiting, although both cats vomit from time to time, I haven't seen anything unusual. I definitely thinks she's drinking more. Since she shares a litter box with my male cat, it's hard to tell who is who, but I have seen more urine in the litterbox lately.
Thank you for that information. There are several medical conditions in older cats that will cause increased thirst and urination. Some will also cause vomiting as well. Here are some possibilities:
Hyperthyroidism- This is caused by a tumor in the thyroid gland that causes overproduction of thyroid hormone. It causes a cat to have a very high metabolism. The tumor does not spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms are eating with weight loss, vomiting, increased thirst and urination, diarrhea, fast heart rate and heart diseases. It is a very treatable condition with medication or radiation treatment. Diagnosis is by bloodwork. Here's a link: http://www.petplace.com/cats/hyperthyroidism/page1.aspx
Diabetes- Diabetes is a lack of control of blood sugar. The blood sugar becomes very high. The symptoms are weight loss, increased urination and thirst, more prone to infections, occasional vomiting and eventually loss of appetite and weakness. Treatment is usually a diet change and insulin injections. It is diagnosed with bloodwork and sometimes a urinalysis. Here's a link: http://www.petplace.com/cats/diabetes-in-cats/page1.aspx
Kidney Disease- Kidney failure is very common in cats and is a condition that is not curable but certainly can be treated to improve a cat's quality of life. Symptoms include weight loss, vomiting, increased urination and thirst, and lack of appetite. Diagnosis requires bloodwork. Treatment usually includes diet changes, fluids and sometimes medications to improve anemia or lower phosphorous levels. Here's a link: http://www.petplace.com/cats/chronic-renal-kidney-failure-in-cats/page1.aspx
Cancer- Cancer is a common condition as well and can cause a varied list of symptoms including weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite. Some cancers are more treatable than others depending on the type.Liver Disease- Liver disease can be caused by cancer, infection or inflammation (hepatitis). The symptoms include weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and sometimes a yellow appearance to the skin called icterus or jaundice. Diagnosis usually starts with bloodwork but final diagnosis of the cause usually requires ultrasound and a biopsy. Treatment includes diet changes, possibly antibiotics, and liver medications to help improve its health and function. Treatment is also specific to the cause of the liver dysfunction.The first step would be blood work and possibly a urinalysis. I think kidney disease is probably the most likely possibility but is easy to get tunnel vision and be fooled in these situations.
That's really helpful - thank you! Do you think it's safe to wait and see the vet tomorrow, or is this an emergency situation?
You are welcome. I think its safe to wait until tomorrow.
Thank you for your help! I appreciate the information, and that will help me go to the vet's with an educated plan...

GENEVA (Jan. 16)
The recent introduction of Nazi racial legislation by the Danzig Senate was branded as a violation of the League-guaranteed Free City constitution in a report submitted today by Prof. Karl Burckhardt, League of Nations High Commissioner for Danzig, to the League Council's Committee of Three on the Free City.
The committee, meeting to consider the report, was understood to have discussed appointing a commission of jurists to decide whether the act was a violation of the constitution. Prof. Burckhardt was said to have opposed such procedure on the ground that it would take a long time and prevent the Council from taking a decision at the current session. The committee will meet tomorrow to decide if it is competent to arrive at decisions and submit conclusions to the Council for final action.
Well informed League circles denied rumors that Prof, Burckhardt was intending to resign as High Commissioner and that the League's office in Danzig would be abolished. The High Commissioner was received today by Foreign Ministers Lord Halifax of Great Britain and Georges Bonnet of France.
