UltraISO Premium Edition 220.127.116.1100 Multilingual + Serial Keys + Portable | 8.39 MB
Along with large capacity hard disk popularity, people were already used to coping compact discs to CD/DVD image files (also called compact disc image document) , generally used is the famous ISO 9660 international standards format, therefore CD/DVD image files are called ISO files.
Because the ISO file retained complete data information of the compact disc (including compact disc boot information), you were allowed the convince to use commonly used CD burning software (for example Nero-Burning ROM ) to record the disc with your CD-R/RW over and over forever, it can also be used directly through Virtual CD-ROM drive software (for example SoftDisc ) .
UltraISO is a CD/DVD image file creating/editing/converting tool , it can directly edit the CD/DVD image file and extract files and folders from it, as well as directly make ISO files from your CD/DVD drive or hard disk. At the same time, you can maintain the ISO bootable information, thus creating your own bootable CDs and DVDs. You now have the power to make and edit your own ISO files, and then burn them to CD or DVD for your own needs.
UltraISO is in sole possession of the intellectualized ISO document format analyzer, it can process at the present time almost all types of image files, including ISO and BIN, it may even support new image files which are yet to be created. UltraISO can open these image files, directly extract files and folders, edit it and convert other image files to the standard ISO format.
UltraISO uses the double window unification user contact interface, you have the choice to only use the quick buttons and/or the mouse Drag & Drops, you can handle any CD/DVD image file easily.
Here are some key features of "UltraISO Media Edition":
· Can directly edit the ISO image file.
· Can directly extract files and folder from ISO image file
· Can add / delete /create new directory /rename ISO file image content.
· Can make ISO file from hard disk document.
· Can create CD image from CD/DVD-ROM, maintain bootable information.
· Can process the compact disc boot information, you can directly add/remove/extract boot image of the ISO image.
· Supports nearly all known CD image file formats (.ISO, .BIN, .IMG, .CIF, .NRG, .BWI and so on) , and converts them to the standard ISO form image.
· May directly set the file/folder to hidden attribute
· Supports ISO 9660 Level1/2/3 and Joliet extension
· Automatically optimizes the ISO image file structure, saves the CD space.
· Supports the shell document type integration, Open Image files through double clicking them or the Right Click menu of the mouse with the open dialog.
· The double window user interface is extremely convenient to use.
· There are rich add-on tools, you can create ALL in 1 bootable compact discs, CD image file management, even the virtual CD/DVD drive , those functions are really powerful.

Basic Character Creation
From Goonwiki
After you've gotten the client running, the first thing you'll need to do is make a character. This guide should help you do that intelligently.
Important notice
The most important thing you should have in mind when creating a character is that your choice of race, bloodline etc. will only affect a couple of starting skills, your portrait, and nothing more. Any character can learn any skill given enough time.
Players from other MMOs tend to think that your character creation choices will set your playing style or roles in stone, when it couldn't be farther from the truth in EVE. Your race, bloodline etc. will have no effect on you beyond the first few hours of play.
TL;DR Any race can fly any ship and follow any career, they are all nearly identical and the only thing separating them is your choice of portrait.
Quick Summary
If you don't want to read this whole article, here's the lowdown: Try to think of a good name as it is permanent.
- (Warning about names: In big fleet actions with 100+ ships on each side, fleet commanders often pick primary and secondary targets in alphabetical or sometimes reverse alphabetical order. Try not to make characters with names starting from A-E or V-Z.)
Pick a race and portrait you like the appearance of. Combat characters should restat primarily for Perception followed by Intelligence. Find out which race of ships you like best and focus your training around them.
Do those things and you won't go too far wrong. That said, the guide below should give you a bunch of information not immediately obvious from the Character Creation screens. Reading it will help make sure you make the character you actually want instead of the one you just thought you wanted.
If you want a specific information on the skills given to each character and alternative restat suggestions, see Recommended Base Stat Builds.
the first dicision you must make is your character's race. In the short term, this determines what sorts of ships you can fly in the first hours of play. Remember that in Eve, there is never a penalty for training to use another race's ships or equipment, and you're free to train anything that you've met the pre-requisites for. When deciding which race of ships you wish to use it helps to know a little about each, since each race's ships have a slightly different play style and required skill set.
Races and Ships
Every race's ships offer general themes, such as the Gallente's large drone bays, or the Minmatar's small, fast ships, but within each race, ships in the same class can also offer a wide vareity of utility. The Caldari's Osprey mining cruiser for example, is radically different from the Moa sniping cruiser, even though they are both Caldari and require the same Caldari Cruiser skill to be trained before use. Merely flying one race's ships will not limit your ability to experiment with ship fittings.
Remember, choosing a race does not set in stone what you will do in Eve or what you can fly \xE2\x80\x93 it's perfectly possible to make an Amarr character who specializes in Drones, or a laser-loving Gallente, or a Minmatar who flies a Caldari Electronic Warfare (EW) platform, or what have you. You are not limited to any particular class or race of ship.
Amarr Ships
Amarr ships are gunned with Lasers, while their primary defense is to armor tank. In a fight, remember to keep an eye on your ships capacitor level. Fun, somewhat one-dimensional though; great if you like a tough ship, and you only have to train a comparatively small number of skills to be good at it. The drawback of Amarr ships is that they lack versatility, and are generally limited to one damage type. That said, Amarr is currently the favored race of fleet operations due to the strength of the Amarr Battleships.
Caldari Ships
Use Railguns and missiles offensively, and shield tanking and electronic warfare for defense. They also get the longest-range gunnery options of any race. They're a good choice if you like long-range sniping combat, or if you like support roles and/or combat denial of enemy fleets. Also the best race for PvE isk making in general, though Amarr works just as well in our home (against Blood Raider NPCs)
Gallente Ships
Their ships are known for featuring Drone Bays, while also borrowing features from other races. Offensivly, most of their ships make heavy use of [Drones| drones], and the powergrid available on some of their ships is more suited to Blasters. Most Gallente ships favor Armor tanking. Generally regarded as the weakest of the racial options for ships at the present time due to the weakness of blasters and the ineffectiveness of drones in big fleet battles.
Minmatar Ships
Minmatar ships tend to be fast and can feature either very short range or very long range, slow firing, heavy damage projectile weapons, but low general defenses. Can either armor tank or shield tank depending on the ship. Flying these ships well means training a wide variety of support skills, but once you have all the skills, they're very dangerous on the battlefield. They have some of the strongest small, fast ships.
Race and Roleplaying
Some people choose their initial race for Roleplay reasons, for unlike most MMOs, EVE has a very large and detailed background that contributes to a very vibrant-- if marginalized-- role play community. The race/heritage choice screen upon character creation has much better descriptions of each races' background, but here is a brief description of what each race means to the roleplayer.
Religious fundamentalists who consider the other races to be their rightful slaves. Imperialistic, arrogant, dominating; the Amarr are the largest and oldest empire and most populous race in EVE. Slavery is legal and alcohol is banned in Amarr space, and a heavy class based system keeps everybody in a perpetual hierarchy. At one point the Amarr even grew arrogant enough to attempt an assault upon the mysterious Jove empire, but were quickly humiliated with a total defeat, allowing the Minmatar slave race to free themselves and leaving the Amarr currently weak enough to be forced upon an uneasy truce with their one-time slaves.
Amarr ships are streamlined, goldenrod, and have cruel sounding names. In Star Trek lore, they generally look reminiscent of Romulan combined with Cardassian ships.
An oligarchy of numerous corporations united under a single state-run corporate empire. The Caldari praise efficiency and utility over everything else, caring nothing for such wasteful concepts as "art" or "looks" in their designs. The Caldari once hailed from the same home system as the Gallente, but their drastic differences in cultures have at one point caused the two to war. Eventually brought to a stalemate, an unease truce eventually settled upon, with the unfortunate agreement of the Caldari being forced to leave their home world and resettle to the north... something the Caldari have never forgiven nor will forget.
Caldari ships look like they were made for function over any sort of form, even lacking any sort of paint job; they are of the duct-tape-and-cardboard asthetic, but most of them are as efficient as can be.
The democracy-loving entertainers, producers, artists and innovators... but also very much semi-libertarians of the EVE galaxy. The Gallente admire the Minmatar for their freedom loving ways and agitate against the Caldari and Amarr for their rigid systems of authority. The Gallente actually elect their leaders and make choices as a Republic, unlike the other races. Gallente ships are the exact opposite of Caldari: form over function. They have all sorts of bizarre almost alien-looking designs, with the general sort of black and green color scheme of the Alliance ships from Firefly. Besides their bizarre look, Gallente ships would probably fit in well with the Federation from Star Trek--all around good at everything thrown their way.
Tribes of freed slaves who rebelled against their Amarr overlords in the past and set up an uneasy truce with the other empires. Many Minmatar are still renegades and continue to wage war on the Amarr in retribution for centuries of abuse. Many of the disjointed tribes are composed of nomadic traders and merchants. The closest allies of the Minmatar are the Gallente, who respect their desire for freedom and self-governance. Minmatar ships look pieced together from scraps found at junkyard only also held together with string and duct-tape. Their ships have a dark blood-red steel look reminiscent of Reaver ships from Firefly.
Choosing a Bloodline
Each race is further subdivided into "bloodlines,\xE2\x80\x9D or what are sometimes referred to as subraces. Each race has three bloodlines, two older ones that came on release with EVE and the newer Asian bloodlines that have been recently released.
Picking a bloodline has a large influence on the looks of your character, so take a look at each one to see what appearances are available.
|Ni Kunni
Next you'll pick your character's gender. We hope you don't need this explained. It doesn't make any direct in-game difference what your character's gender is.
Picking Your Ancestry
Next you will be asked to select an ancestry, also known as a bloodline's heritage. (In Eve, you can choose your relatives!) These are all flavor text and have no effect on your character; you cannot even view your character's heritage later in-game. These are bloodline specific, such as Gallente Intaki having heritages of 'Artist' or 'Reborn.' Pick whichever one you want.
Character History/Career
Next you'll see two screens that let you pick your character's prior career and career specialization. Once again this is flavor text and has no effect on your character, so pick whatever sounds best to you.
Once you've made the first choice, you'll see two possible Specializations. These are going to vary a little by race, but as before has no effect on your character, choose any.
Picking a Portrait
After you pick race and bloodline, you'll go to a character portrait screen. Feel free to spend a few minutes picking a face you like-- feel free to read this very excellent guide to professional portrait making.
Be warned: there is an annoying bug with spending too long of time making a portrait! If you spend over three to five minutes editing your portrait, the login server will idle you off, and when you go to submit your portrait it will disconnect you! A simple solution to this is to every few minutes go forward a step to the portrait confirmation screen, and then type in a name-- which can be anything and does not have to be final. When you enter your name it will 'refresh' your status on the server, resetting the idle meter, from which you can simply go back two steps to continue working on your portrait.
Choosing a Name
After you decide you like your portrait, you will be asked to enter a name. Your name is permanent, and case sensitive! There is no way to change your character name at a later date short of completely restarting with a new character. This goes for capitalization and so forth as well -- Eve will reproduce your name exactly as you type it, with or without capitals. It will not autocapitalize the first letter, etc.. So if you forget to capitalize your name, it will remain like that forever.
I say this because I know quite a few people who have been playing for two years or more, and they have horrible names they wish they could change, but they can't without losing those months or even years of training. Probably the best known example of this is Goonfleet member "Buttpipe." Apparently, the name seemed like a good idea to him at the time. Now, months later, he's still stuck with "Buttpipe" as his handle, despite his daily GM pleas for a change. Don't be a Buttpipe. Pick something you'll like down the road.
Take this advice only if you're positive you want a dumb name: pick a name that is as unpronounceable and unspellable as possible, and that begins with a letter in the middle of the alphabet. This makes it less likely you will be targeted in a group engagement, as you have a really awkward name to call out over teamspeak, and you will never be on top of the FCs overview which will always be sorted by name. Use a random name generator if you can't think of a name with these attributes. The downside to this is obviously that nobody on our side will be able to pronounce your name either, and its just not cool.
Attributes and Skill Training
Eve features five character attributes:
- Intelligence
- Perception
- Charisma
- Willpower
- Memory
Attributes do not affect anything that you do actively in game - that's up to your skills - but your character attributes do affect how quickly you can train these skills. Every trainable skill in Eve features a Primary attribute and a Secondary attribute. Roughly speaking, each point in a primary attribute will save you an hour of training every day, while each point in a secondary skill will save you half-an-hour every day.
Certain skill categories share a theme of requiring certain attributes. Gunnery, missile, and ship piloting skills rely primarily on Perception, while Drone-related skills rely heavily on Memory, and most ship outfitting skills (very important!) rely on Intelligence. Many of the "late game\xE2\x80\x9D skills that take the longest time to train -- such as skills for piloting Capital Ships and advanced weapon skills -- rely heavily on Perception.
Memory is important for learning, science, industrial, and drone skills, but it's generally not as important if you're looking to dive right into action.
Finally, the Charisma attribute affects trade skills, corporation management, wing command, or how your character "interact" with NPCs (for example, if you plan to run a lot of missions). Charisma is generally neglected, since most players won't train more than a few levels of trade skills or a minumum of mission-buffing skills. Charisma is useful for a few specialist builds -- leadership and trade and the like -- but most players consider it the least desirable, as these specialist skill categories take up less than 10% of all of the skills in game (the only combat-related paths that emphasize Charisma are the Command Ships paths and the Leadership Skills).
Generally you should allocate points to the five attributes based on this rough list of descending game-mechanics importance: Perception, Intelligence, Willpower,Memory, and Charisma, these attributes will affect how quickly you train various skills.
Remember that as a new player, you have two attribute restats available. Take advantage of that by buffing the attributes that affect your learning skills. Once you've used your available restats, you will gain a new restat every year following your last restat.

Train Learning Skills
The Learning category features nine skills that will increase your character's attributes and therefore your training speed directly. It's a very common practice to focus your early training on these skills, as they will affect how quickly you train skills for the rest of your eve career.
It's not necessary, or recommended, to complete these right away; if you do, you'll train a lot of skills at light speed, but for your efforts you'll probably burn out without ever undocking. Train them between skills you'll use more often, or while you're away.
Specific Recommended Builds
If all of the above was too much for you, then simply refer to the link that has been repeated various times on in this article: Recommended Base Stat Builds. This contains more specific information on the tangible differences of each character build.
Note that since every account can have 3 characters on it, you might want to have one PvP pilot, one production pilot, and one "whatever" pilot-- just remember only one character per account can be training at once!
Some people like having lots of alts, others just have one main character. Suit yourself, and have fun! For more information on alts and playing with multiple accounts at once, please refer to the article here.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Waverly Grill Restaurant Review: This small but elegant hotel restaurant surprises and pleases with its good food and professional service. The kitchen chooses plates colored to show off each dish, but the food always takes priority. If you wish, appetizers can be served in the handsome bar's side room, complete with private pool table. A favorite starter is scallops wrapped in ultrathin ham and grilled, or try a grilled portobello mushroom with balsamic sauce. We found the Vidalia onion soup rich and flavorful and the Caesar salad excellent. Flaky sea bass lightly wrapped in an ultrathin potato slice comes set in a bed of grilled vegetables. The filet of prime beef is broiled to perfection. There are a half-dozen desserts available and a menu of ports and Cognacs. The wine list numbers 50, with 40 available by the glass. More vintages would be nice.

DURHAM, N.C. -- As the father of a Duke lacrosse player,
John Danowski read every headline about the allegations of rape
that ended the Blue Devils' season, forced their coach to resign
and led to the indictment of three of his son's teammates.
But none of those headlines scared the longtime Hofstra lacrosse
coach from accepting the challenge of leading the Blue Devils as
they start to rebuild.
"Bad things happen sometimes," Danowski said Friday as he was
introduced as Duke's new coach. "You get stronger, you learn and
improve, or you can go the other way. But certainly here, it
appears to me that everybody's working really hard to learn from
past experiences and push forward."
Danowski, whose son Matt is a Duke senior and an All-America
attackman for the Blue Devils, will take over for Mike Pressler,
who resigned soon after a woman told police she was raped by three
men at a March team party where she was hired to perform as an exotic dancer.
A grand jury has indicted three players -- Reade Seligmann, 20,
of Essex Fells, N.J.; Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y.;
and David Evans, 23, of Bethesda, Md. -- on charges of rape,
kidnapping and sexual offense. Defense attorneys strongly have
proclaimed the players' innocence.
The rape allegations led Duke to first suspend the team from
play and later cancel the season. They also led to criticism of the
program and the players' behavior, which included a history of
problems tied to alcohol.
By bringing in Danowski -- who was offered the job after meeting
with university president Richard Brodhead on Thursday -- Duke is
hoping to put all that to rest.
"Today's all about moving forward, not looking backwards,"
said athletics director Joe Alleva.
In 21 seasons at Hofstra, Danowski compiled a record of 192-123,
taking the Pride to the NCAA Tournament in seven of the past 11
seasons. In his 24-year career, Danowski has a record of 219-139,
making him one of eight active head coaches in Division I with 200
"I think he's the right man for the job, not only because he's
my father but [because] his track record speaks for itself," Matt
Danowski said. "It's a step forward for our program, just to get
back to a sense of normalcy. We've got a coach and everybody's
looking forward to late August to get back here and start playing
Last year, Danowski led the Pride to a 17-2 record, matching an
NCAA record for victories set by Duke the previous season. He had
said it would take something pretty special to lure him away from
the program he had led since 1986.
Ultimately, coaching Matt and the Blue Devils -- who reached the
national championship game in 2005 and were considered contenders
for a national title in 2006 -- fit that description.
"He has an opportunity to coach his son," Hofstra athletics
director Jack Hayes said. "Not too many people get that chance, so
we certainly were understanding of his pursuit of the job."
Last month, Duke appointed assistant coach Kevin Cassese, a
two-time team captain and U.S. national team player, to serve as
interim coach while the school searched for a permanent
replacement. Alleva said Cassese would serve as an assistant coach.
Brodhead canceled the highly ranked team's season April 5,
following the disclosure of a vulgar e-mail sent by player Ryan
McFadyen in which he joked about killing strippers. A university
investigation later found a history of disciplinary problems
involving team members, including underage drinking.
But a faculty committee recommended the team be allowed to
resume play, with its members' conduct strictly monitored. Brodhead
agreed to reinstate the program, but only after all remaining
players agreed to a mission statement that emphasizes academics,
tolerance and a code of conduct that, among other things, prohibits
underage drinking.
"There is no way Duke could hire somebody and that person would
guarantee that things would run perfectly," said Virginia coach
Dom Starsia, who led the Cavaliers to the national championship in
May. "But in John Danowski, I don't think they could've made a
better hire for themselves.
"I'm glad Duke's back up on its feet and running again. There's
no reason Duke lacrosse can't get back to where they were before
all this happened."
Also Friday, a judge ruled District Attorney Mike Nifong can subpoena the home address of any uncharged lacrosse team member he plans to call as a witness. But Judge Kenneth C. Titus declined to give Nifong access to records of activity on the students' Duke identification cards, which can be used to purchase items and gain access to campus buildings.
Attorneys for the uncharged players argued the information is protected by federal privacy laws and that Nifong's subpoenas seeking the information were flawed.
Nifong has said every member of the team is a potential witness in the case and having the home addresses would ensure he could call the players to testify at trial, which is unlikely to begin before spring 2007. He wanted the information from the key cards to confirm what the players told investigators about their whereabouts following the March 13 team party.

Part 1 presents the international trading environment and the relations between developed and developing economies at a macroeconomic level. There will be a particular focus on trade blocs, a major and fast-evolving influence on international trade activity. Other issues include the role of institutions such as the WTO, and the continuing use of protective policies in various states.
The overall aim is to provide the platform needed to follow Part 2 of this module, 'Business Operations in Emerging Economies' which will examine operational or microeconomic questions in a number of countries.
Business operations in emerging economies
With the global spread of international business operations, the emerging market economies are of key importance for international business. These economies offer many opportunities for expansion in terms of low cost locations, resources and new markets. However, these economies also present special challenges for international companies arising from the nature of the rapid economic and political transformations they are currently undergoing.
This module intially examines the underpinning economic theory necessary for an understanding of the growth and development of emerging economies. It then examines the strategies available to international firms for successful operation within these economies.

Kate Middleton and Prince William
When Kate and William went on their honeymoon, they took a note from his mother, Princess Diana, and went in style. The two of them traveled and stayed on a private island in the Indian Ocean. Saucy pictures even emerged later, so it wasn't as secret as the couple was hoping it would be.

The Basics of Twitter
Step 1 - Creating an Account
Twitter Cheat Sheet
The Anatomy of a Tweet
Let's Talk #Hashtags
Create Effective #Hashtags
If you fairly new to social media, in this case Twitter, you may have had a tough time figuring out what or how to tweet. Below are the most common questions when it comes tweeting on Twitter:
- How do I figure out which hashtag to use and set it up?
- How do I know what people are saying?
- How do I know what hashtag people are using if I want to find conversations about an area of interest?
- How do I know who is using the hashtag?
How to figure out and set up a hashtag?
Setting up a hashtag is easy. Type it in the Twitter search and see if anyone is using it. If not, start using it. If they are, modify it in some way while keeping it short.
In this screenshot you see I did a search for #classpets. As I looked through the Tweets I found it relevant. I can use it as is or make some modifications to it. I can add another hashtag to tweet or edit it. Then all you do is start using it and tell others to do the same.
How to know what people are saying?
People are using hashtags in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and more. But how do you know what they're saying? One way is to do a search in each platform. A better way is to use Tagboard which aggregates hashtags from a variety of mediums. Here is a link: Tagboards.
Here is what it looks like. You simply search the hashtag and then you can look at #hashtags used by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Vine, or Flickr. Or you can click one social media icon and look just at posts from that platform.
How to find the hashtag people are using?
Interested in a topic but don't know what hashtag people are using. No problem. Use Hashtagify.me. Say you were interested in the "flipped classroom." Type that term into Hashtagify.me and see what happens.
Notice that #flippedclassroom has a popularity of 35.6 and What is more popular is #flipclass with a popularity of 46.2.
Keyhole allows you to search for hashtags, and keywords on Instagram and Twitter. And dishes out dashboards of very valuable information – including influencers, top posts, reach, top pages and domains. They'll also slice the data by demographics, platforms, keywords and hashtags. You can also save your searches for future
KeyholeHow to know who is using the hashtag.
Use sites mentioned here like TOPSY or Hashtagify.me, but the best way to find people using a hashtag is on Twitter. Simply search for the hashtag, then select "People." When you do, you will see the top people using the hashtag which is great.

Different. I told you I was trying to use a little more color and be bolder. And as I keep my promises, here it is. It´s something completely different from what I usually wear but let me say one thing: I felt great out of my comfort zone. So today I leave you with some advice that worked with me: get out of your comfort zone from time to time, try new trends, something that normally you wouldn´t wear. You´ll be surprise with the results, you´ll see.
Well, I´m giving a new opportunity to my heels. So far the relationship is going well.

After cycling 65 miles from Hancock, Maryland to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, over a rough dusty path, we were ready for a shower and a good meal.
We had chosen the Town's Inn since it was on the lower part of Harpers Ferry. We had already researched and knew and that we had to get our pannier laden bikes up a spiral staircase and over a pedestrian bridge to get to Harpers Ferry. We knew that climbing the hill to the Town's Inn was enough and did not want to have to climb even further to upper Harpers Ferry.
We were helped to our room by Jeff, the assistant manager. He was a very pleasant friendly guy. He explained the menu for the restaurant and that he and his wife, Jill, prepared the home cooked meals. We decided to have dinner at the Inn's restaurant. Homemade chicken potpie with steamed vegetables and peach cobbler was great after most choices along the path had been fried options.
The accommodations were good, but could have been a bit cleaner, but then we were filthy when we arrived. A locked area outdoors was provided for our bicycles.
The town was quiet other than the trains at night, but this was Harpers Ferry and there is a lot of train traffic.
The cost of the Inn and the food was a great value and the staff was friendly. We were looking forward to breakfast at the Inn the next day and was delighted to hear that they started serving at 6 am since as cyclists in a heat wave at the end of May/first of June, we were looking forward to an early start for our 61 mile ride to Georgetown, Washington DC. By 6:45 am, no one had arrived, so we sadly went on our way having a piece of fruit, a muffin, and some nuts. We had so looked forward to a good breakfast to have a started our day's ride.
Steve and Diana
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- ***Rates starting at $120*** This family-friendly historic Inn (circa 1840) is located in the center of the Harpers Ferry living history village situated at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, just steps from the C&O Canal Towpath and Appalachian Trail, as well as the storybook train station served by Amtrak and MARC trains. Open from 6 a.M. - 10 P.M. Every day of the year, the restaurant on the first level of the Inn offers indoor and patio dining featuring popular cuisine, including homemade specialties and healthy options. Also on the first floor is a Sundry / Snack / Supply Shoppe which has been described as a "high-end convenience store, a mini-health food store, and an old-fashioned country store with local products." The second floor consists of two bedrooms with beautiful slate-tile private bathrooms. A parlor containing a treasure of books, toys, and games is situated on the third floor, along with another bedroom. Free WiFi is available. Step outside and enjoy river views, river sports, hiking, bicycling, museums, shopping, and more in this quaint town that is adjacent to the Harpers Ferry National Historic Park and surrounded by other national parks, farms, and Civil War battlegrounds. Although located only 60 miles from DC, the Inn is "a world away" from life in modern urban and suburban cities. We invite you to travel "over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house" for relaxation, recreation, and retreat. ... more less

I started knitting A 3/4 length coat in 'Colorado' (which looks akin to carpet shreds) Its made in 2 halves for the back, and the same 2 halves for the front. Only prob is, now I've finished one side, how the heck do I make the other match?
I'm using a raspberry shade, so its all similar shades in the stripes, but the pattern in the Rebecca magazine has 3 different colours in it, and the stripes are perfect, right down to the shading!!! (Its called 'Gray and Red coat')
I see either 2 choices ahead if I can't solve it;
1. rip it back and knit a different coat on circs, and I hate circs.
2. Carry on and have a rather mismatched looking coat.
What to do... what to do???

About: Hull Royal Infirmary Hull Royal Infirmary Hull HU3 2JZ
Posted by SueP
I was admitted to Ward 11, neurology at HRI
Sept 2015 due to suddenly being unable to walk!.
I was already under the care of a consultant neurologist and whose care has been EXCEPTIONAL!
I feel I must write this review as many of the reviews are negative. I do not believe my care or treatment could have been any better! My GP promptly referred me to a neurologist last summer, who sent me for a scan which showed a spinal abnormality.
The neurologist explained everything to me and I was then sent for various diagnostic tests and started on treatment, this whole process only took approximately 3 months.
At A&E I explained I was under the care of a neurologist.
A&E informed neurology and a doctor was sent to assess me.
Within 5 hours I was admitted to ward 11 where my consultant was waiting for me, having already organised, and sent me for, an emergency scan!
I was an inpatient for over 3 weeks and my care during the whole of this period on ward 11 was FAULTLESS.
I cannot thank ALL the nursing staff, the consultants, registrars/doctors, physiotherapists involved in my care enough, they are all amazing.
I have only 2 criticisms (both management issues). Despite the excellent care I received from the staff it was very evident that the ward was regularly understaffed putting a huge pressure on the nursing staff!!
Secondly I agree with comments on reviews regarding contacting the consultants' office as I have also experienced problems getting through to anyone. I question how the consultants can be expected to work efficiently when they do not have sufficient secretarial back-up and staff are also trying to learn a whole new patient computer system!!!
I bet the Chief Executive has all the secretarial back up they need!
Give it to the consultants who are on the front line giving direct patient care!
The secretaries and admin staff, although unseen most of the time, play important roles for the efficient and smooth running of consultants time and patient care which is pretty obvious from previous comments!!!
Response from Hull Royal Infirmary about a year and a half ago

I mean I get that it's probably not the most likely thing, and I'm hesitant to put my feelings into something that's probably just going to hurt a lot later. I met this guy a couple months ago, like back in August, on Tinder and went back to his place the first time I met him, but we didn't have sex until maybe the forth or fifth time we hooked up. He did say from the beginning that he wasn't looking for a relationship, and we had a catch up a couple weeks ago and he said he was in the same place.
So normally I would just believe what he said and not hope for anything more. But we've recently started texting and hanging out a lot more - we text every single day now, and we'll meet up for dinner once a week before we have sex. All this time together is turning my head for sure, so I'm wondering if it's maybe doing the same thing to him. He's kind of a quiet, shy type, and without going into mean, crude details the sex has been a bit unsatisfactory for him, which leads me to wonder exactly why we're continuing to have it. I'm still fucking him because I like him. How can I know if he's still fucking me for the same reasons?
I don't think he's seeing any other girls, like I said we text all the time and hang out a bunch. He doesn't have time to have another woman on the side and I bet he doesn't have the girl skills, either. I want to transition from this weird thing where he's taking up space in my life and yet not being my boyfriend to taking up space in my life and being my boyfriend. I'd like boy catching advice, I guess.
Most Helpful Guy
Call me closed minded, called me a moron, whatever, but I'm gonna speak my mind.
For the fuckin' life of me, I can NEVER understand why a girl, or a guy for that matter, would EVER want a committed relationship with a person who is apparently not above using your body as an inanimate sex object.
Think about it.
Let me fuck you, but let's not mix feelings and emotions into it. Hey, you know, feelings and emotions? That thing that marks you as a human being?
Sure, that sounds SO MUCH like someone I would want to build the foundations of a strong relationship with.54|10|2

i got major respect for this dude. he has to be little extreme cause most people dont learn other wise. Look at the women who may be our future wives theyre acting in such a derograty manner having casual sex. when truly indeed they have forgotten what it takes to build a special relationshipand the values of a true gentlemen not one who has casual sex on a weekly basis. thats why as the years go by we keep humiliating women in songs, movies and in other forms of media. add to that we keep objectifying the and calling themsuch abusive names and more. If you dont believe me take a look around he is right women do need to raise there standards amongst other things too.
Nice. Good job trying to ruin the heavenly fuck buddy system, asshole. -_______-; It's really up to the woman for when they have sex and with who, today. Don't make it something it's not. You don't know his reasons for not wanting a relationship. He could be scared that she'd end up dumping him--he's a shy guy, she said. He might think he's not good enough or something. Or, maybe he just doesn't have the time or resources for a relationship.

Blueberry-Cornmeal Muffins
Our blueberry muffins are delicious first thing in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
- Yield: Makes 12
Photography: Antonis Achilleos
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August 2003
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk, plus about 2 tablespoons for tops
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (about 1/2 pound), picked over and rinsed
- 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse sanding sugar (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in center. Lightly coat a standard muffin tin with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and orange zest, if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolks, and butter. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just blended. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until just stiff. Gently fold whites and blueberries into the batter until just combined.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven; gently brush tops with buttermilk, and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Continue baking until tops are golden and a cake tester inserted in a muffin center comes out clean, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let muffins cool slightly, about 10 minutes, before turning out of tin.

The youth movement is coming, and with that in mind, fantasy owners should keep a close eye on Mike Conley (30 minutes, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 3-pointers) and Darrell Arthur (29 minutes, 7 rebounds, 2 steals). Both looked fantastic in their first game without Iavaroni, and both could be solid pickup options if the Grizzlies decide to give them more playing time in the second half of the season.
Under the boards
It was sweet revenge for Boris Diaw as he torched his old team to the tune of 26 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals and three 3-pointers. Gerald Wallace was equally dominant, with 28 points, eight rebounds, five assists, five steals, two blocks and three 3-pointers in the 98-76 victory over the Suns. Both players were presented with more opportunities when Emeka Okafor got into early foul trouble against Shaquille O'Neal. Yao Ming gave us quite a scare when a knee injury sent him to the sidelines in the second quarter against the Pacers. Thankfully, the injury is not considered serious, and X-rays came back negative after the game. Still, fantasy owners are going to be understandably concerned any time Yao misses action. If this injury turns out to be more serious than expected, be sure to give Luis Scola (25 points, 7 rebounds) and Carl Landry (17 points, 1 block) a look in Houston. Charlie Villanueva continued his hot streak Friday, dropping 27 points with seven rebounds, five 3-pointers and a steal. Charlie is now averaging 19.2 points, 6.4 boards, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 3-pointers this month and finally looks like a safe pickup candidate. As impressive as Villanueva has been in Milwaukee, Randy Foye has been even better in Minnesota. The Timberwolves have won eight of 10 games in January thanks to Foye's 20.8 points, 4.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.0 3-pointers on the month. Foye did it again Friday in a victory over the Hornets with 24 points, five rebounds, eight assists, four 3-pointers and a steal. Point guard Sebastian Telfair has reaped the benefits of Foye's hot streak. Telfair scored 10 points with eight assists, two 3-pointers and a steal Friday and is now averaging a solid 11.0 points, 6.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 3-pointers this month. If you need a point guard, go get him off the wire. Rookie Danilo Gallinari continued to impress the New York faithful with 11 points, three 3-pointers and a steal in 17 minutes Friday night. Gallinari is showing great touch from downtown since returning from a back injury and is shooting 46.2 percent from long distance this season. The downside of the Rooster's emergence is that it seems as though he may cut into Wilson Chandler's production. Chandler had his second straight poor game Friday with just 8 points in 22 minutes of action. Keep a close eye on this situation going forward. After two straight huge games, DeAndre Jordan came back down to earth with just three points, seven rebounds and a block in a victory over the Thunder. Jordan got into early foul trouble (like many young big men tend to do) and proved that he'll be an inconsistent high risk/high reward option until Marcus Camby returns to the lineup.

OXFORD, Ohio -- Shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday, the polling place on the Miami University campus was overrun by large young men in red sweat suits.
About 20 members of the Miami RedHawks football team filed into Withrow Court, the school's ancient former basketball gym, as a group. They were here to make the first presidential votes of their lives. That night, they would win a football game against Toledo, 23-16.
"This was the most important thing we did today," receiver R.J. Corbin said after casting his vote.
Here in a state that, perhaps more than any other, shaped the future of the nation, Miami-Toledo was decidedly on the undercard to Bush-Kerry. In fact, many wondered why it was on the card at all - including SI.com columnist Frank Deford. But RedHawks coach Terry Hoeppner responded to the criticism by putting democracy in motion.
Of all the ideas being pitched this campaign season, Hoeppner might have had the best. One day after practice in early October, he introduced the team to election officials he had invited to the football facility. He asked the players to register, and all 105 responded -- some of them signing up while wearing towels after emerging from the shower.
Hoeppner said all of his players told him they voted Tuesday -- but he added, "they all tell me they go to class, too. ... The football team that votes together wins together."
According to several players, what Hoeppner set in motion then remained in motion through Tuesday. Members of a traditionally fickle young voting base became involved in the process and explored their own beliefs, the way you'd hope college students would.
Players tuned in to CNN. Read about topics on the Internet. Educated themselves on local issues and races. Debated and discussed. On the short walk from Hepburn Hall, where many of the players live, to Withrow Court, the players were talking politics, not football.
"We'd be sitting around as a team, or go out to dinner, and politics would come up," offensive lineman Mark Kracium said. "Politics is definitely a touchy subject, but we discussed what we thought about certain policies."
Of course, it has been hard to avoid politics for the last month in Ohio. Driving into this idyllic college town, the roadsides were carpeted with political signs. A thicket of signs stood in front of Withrow Court: eight for Democrat John Kerry, three for President George W. Bush, and another two dozen pertaining to local elections. Every time you turned on the television, the ads came in torrents. Cell phones and dorm phones chirped constantly with pre-recorded messages touting Bush or Kerry.
And the candidates have criss-crossed the state in person as well. Hoeppner introduced the Bush twins at a gathering campus -- which many of the players attended regardless of political affiliation, for obvious reasons. Kerry campaigned on the Toledo campus last week, Bush came to the city the next day, and vice president Dick Cheney the day after that.
"They're definitely hitting Ohio hard," said Kracium, who is from New Carlisle, Ohio, and seemed to be one of the most politically inclined players. "I'm definitely going to turn on the TV and watch the returns -- after I watch the highlights from the game."
On a raw, windy night at Yager Stadium, the election was a hovering topic. Laptops in the press box were frequently diverted to news sites to check the electoral count. And in a major news outbreak, the president of the United States was found reclining comfortably in a lounge chair at a tailgate party.
He had a bowl of peppermints on his lap and a Coors Light sitting on the arm of the chair. (Scandal! Teetotaling president falls off wagon!) W. was smiling, but looking a little thin.
OK, so it was a life-size cutout of Bush, not the real thing. The bogus Bush was a special guest of John Tuggle, a former Miami player under Bo Schembechler and a three-decade-plus season-ticket holder from Eaton, Ohio. And, in case you hadn't guessed, a staunch Republican.
"We're just glad that George could join us to tailgate for the big Toledo-Miami bash," Tuggle said.
Many of the fans who made up a smaller-than-expected crowd of 13,940 had no qualms about the game being played on Election Night.
"I think it's great," Tim Skinner said. "We're not going to know for a while who's elected anyway."
All the RedHawks wore "I Voted Today!" decals on their white helmets - the suggestion of Hoeppner's wife, Jane, who said, "The players are about football, but not all about football."
But in a battleground state where every vote mattered, the Miami football team had its say. And felt good about it afterward.
"Four years from now," Hoeppner said, "we'll do it again."
Said linebacker Dontae Wright: "If you're going to play on this day, you need to show people you still care about your country."
Like the rest of the state of Ohio, the RedHawks said the team seemed to be split about 50-50 between Bush and Kerry. The team offered a snapshot of the nation as a whole: whites, African-Americans, city kids, rural kids, conservatives, liberals. Abortion, same-sex marriage and the economy were major issues with several players. Surprisingly, only two of about eight RedHawks interviewed mentioned Iraq.
The only thing they unanimously agreed upon was the importance of voting. Especially linebacker Terna Nande, who became the first member of his family to cast a vote in America.
Nande's parents, David and Veronica, moved to America from Nigeria more than 20 years ago. David, a plastic engineer in Grand Rapids, Mich., impressed upon his son the incredible freedom and prosperity available in America -- things not in great supply in many other parts of the world.
"He's a very educated man, and he felt very strongly about it," Terna said. "He told me how he fought to become an American citizen, and how black people had come from Africa to this country and died for the right to be free and vote.
"He didn't tell me who or what to vote for. He just said, 'Terna, if you care about your future, you'll do the right thing.' "
Terna Nande and his teammates did the right thing Tuesday afternoon. By voting first and playing second, they did their part to keep this most important of American days in perspective.

It seems pretty fishy to me CNN has the vote count listed for the Republican caucuses of Utah and Idaho but not the Democratic caucuses of Idaho and Utah. In Idaho Sanders got 18,640 votes to Clintons's 5,065 votes and in Utah Sanders got 61,333 votes to Clintons 15,666 votes, so it's clearly not caused by not haveing actual vote count.
Hears two screen shots from CNN's website of the Utah cacus results, you can clearly see the Republican results has vote count listed where the Democratic results does not.
What's even more fishy is CNN has the Vote count for Arizona which Clinton won last night.

Most likely because CNN belongs to the type of billionaires who would absolutely hate to see Sanders win. In fact, the whole corporate media works that way. People say Fox news is right-wing and MSNBC is left-wing and CNN is center. In reality, they're all the same shit in different colors. There's really not that much difference between them (not as much as people believe there is). Not only CNN but all the corporate media systematically makes Bernie Sanders look weaker than he is while they make Hillary look stronger. It's a very subtle type of propaganda that millions of people who don't care so much about politics don't notice. One great example for this is the delegate number. The people at CNN know exactly that super delegates don't mean much. Should Sanders suddenly win more normal delegates, the super delegates would switch to his side, as they did with Obama in 2008 (and with all other candidates in all other previous presidential campaigns). And yet, CNN stubbornly keeps listing Hillary's number of delegates as approximately 1,650 vs. Sanders' 900 delegates. This is evidently wrong. It's a lie and it makes Sanders look very weak. It makes it look as though Hillary was almost twice as strong as Sanders. In reality however, 450 of Hillary's 1,650 delegates are super delegates. So the factual count is 1,200 vs. 900. That's already A LOT closer.
The people who own CNN want Hillary as president because they would not benefit from Sanders' policies. They're the type extremely wealthy, power hungry folks that he criticizes. And because they can't say that openly, they have to play dirty tricks and hope that the American people are gullible enough to believe these tricks.
With younger voters, this kind of crap doesn't really work because young voters use the internet and it's easy for them to get different, independent sources. But with many older folks this kind of stuff works really great and it's a tragedy. It makes me sad to see elderly Democrats vote for Hillary simply because they believe Sanders to be bad based on the lies of cable TV stations.20|20|0

text: Textainer's adjusted net income benefited from an increase in the size of the owned container fleet in the second quarter of 2012, compared to the year ago quarter, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt required to fund the expansion of our owned fleet.During the quarter, one of Textainer's subsidiaries issued $400 million of container-backed notes (the "Notes"). The Notes are fully amortizing notes payable on a straight-line basis over a scheduled payment term of ten years, with a maximum payment term of fifteen years. The Notes have a fixed interest rate, payable monthly, of 4.21% per annum. The Company also restructured its securitization facility, increasing the size from $850 million to $1.2 billion and adding four new participant banks. The interest rate on the new facility is 2.625% over one-month LIBOR during the initial two-year revolving period. Textainer ended the quarter with a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.3:1. The additional liquidity created by the recent financings puts the Company in a strong position to continue purchasing both new and used containers to meet the needs of shipping lines and their increased preference to lease containers. In the second quarter of last year, net income included a gain on sale of containers to NCI of $14.8 million net of the related impact on NCI as a result of restructuring Textainer's primary asset-owning subsidiary, Textainer Marine Containers Limited ("TMCL") and eliminating a minority partner. As a result of the restructuring, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Textainer Limited, now owns 100% of TMCL. The non-cash gain was the result of recognizing the fair value of containers and direct financing and sales-type leases in excess of their book value exchanged for TMCL's common shares at the time of the transaction and is excluded from the adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA amounts.

I always wondered how people got here on GAG... my story..
I was out at a bar/lounge with some of my friends and a group of loud, prity tipsy girls started talking to us. One of girls pushed her friend towards me screaming "she likes you", she was hot but this girl was trashed,. Long story short I found out her guy just broke up with her and her friends were trying to cheer her up and get "laid".
Fast forward few hours, we all started to leave and her friends took off without her, I offered to give her a ride and she was so drunk she tried to make out with me but it was just so sloppy, I didn't wanna sleep with this chick, it was pathetic.
Anyways, We got coffee and bagels and went by the beach to talk and sober her up. We sat up on the lifeguard chair and just talked and laughed. She told me her story and I told her to call me when she is sober and I will help her get him back. 2 weeks later she got him back.
She was ever grateful to me and started introducing me as Mr. Hitch to her friends and as a token of appreciation, took me out for dinner, we are now good friends. She suggested I should help others and pointed me towards GAG.
And that's how I got here... How did you get here?

Something Is Very Wrong In Bloglandia!
Mary Anne Richardson's Blog (aka Magpies Mumblings) seems to have disappeared!
At first I thought it was a glitch ... as we all know can happen on the Net ... but every link I knew to her blog came up with the same message ... something about this blog has been removed!
Say it ain't so! She has even been removed from my Followers list! She would never do that of her own accord!
MA & I have been friends for years ... getting together several times a year to share creativity & do lunch ... & sometimes shop her local faves ... so I just had to make sure she was okay.
I called her in a panic fearing something was wrong ... but she is fine ... just very confused at the moment as to why this has happened. She is in the process of contacting Blogger to find out why ... and that's all I can tell you at this point.
This is so weird ... I mean she's been blogging for years ... so how could they just deactivate her like this? What could she have done that was so wrong?
Stay tuned kids ... we'll get to the bottom of this.
And Still They Won't Let Me Be!
I'm not saying that it's a bad thing ... and I really love what I've done ... but just cannot seem to get my brain to focus on stitching. I did do several mending projects ... thinking that having a needle in my hand might help ... but no ... it didn't.
These new pieces will incorporate fabric ... and one of the ideas is a new CQ embellishment.
Eventually these will be destined for ArtFire ... sorry ... no sneak peaks ... guess you'll just have to wait! I'll let you know when I have them up ... though it won't be for a while.
Must get going ... it's past one already ... and still have lots that I need to get done today!

Show & Share ... The "Phoenix" Saddlebag
I don't exactly remember when I aquired the original ... except that I can ballpark it to sometime in my early 20's. OMG! Was it that long ago!???
It was "love at first sight"! IT WAS PERFECT!
Okay ... it was expensive ... but what the heck ... quality is always worth a few extra bucks! Chestnut brown heavy gauge leather ... totally awesome.
It was simple by design but everything that I wanted in a handbag. It had one deep inside pocket & a smaller outer pocket with it's own closeable flap ... and a large flap that covered both ... with a belt-like extension that joined to a buckle at the bottom/back to close it up securely.
Best of all was the shoulder/neck strap ... it could be adjusted to be worn on your shoulder or hung around your neck ... across the chest ... which is the way that I preferred ... the kind of bag that you never set down or worry about losing ... because it hangs off of you.
Time took it's toll ... I used it for years & years ... until the original stitching began to deteriorate under the stress of wear. I could not just simply toss this gem ... but instead carefully took it apart and traced out the pattern of it ... with aim to recreate it.
And I did ... kind of ... but I'll admit my choice of components was not the best. While I did use a good heavy gauge leather ... I crocheted replacement pockets with jute ... and it didn't prove as durable as I anticipated. It began to fall apart. I retired it sooner than I would have liked ... and resorted to various other bags along the way ... all very worthy fuctional bags ... but not my saddlebag!
I just had to make another one. I decided that I had the "skeleton" of it already ... and that I could use it to expand upon to create the next. I was torn between starting from scratch ... or incorporating the remains into the resurrection.
While deliberating on the course of action ... I considered what materials I had at hand ... the first two choices were a caramel-coloured leather jacket or my awesome old black leather pants. Melanie tried on the jacket & it fit her nicely. The pants ... not so much ... & let's face it ... no way I was ever gonna get into these again! So ... the pants it would be ... only the leather was too thin to create a bag from ... so it became a "veneer" ..... yup I used my trusty fave glue Weldbond & glued it to the old panels ... fabricated the rest of it from other leather remnants & sewed it all together with LusterSheen. The strap came from another purse I had found at a thrift store.
To make it really unique I used some red & lavender scraps for the design on the flap.
It was a big job ... but I've got my saddlebag ... again!

Jenny's Farewell Dinner
Took a while to get seated ... someone penned us in for Sunday instead of Saturday ... but made up for the wait with some free munchies until the table was ready. There was 15 of us in all ... so it had to be a big table!
After dinner we gave her her big card ... and as we guessed ... she loved it! It'll take her hours to read the whole thing ... but she started tonight ... & will read more when she gets home!
Several of the gals brought cameras ... so am hoping I can get some pics later.
Long day ... off to put my feet up & relax.

Don't Laugh ... But Snicker If You Must!
He's a Maine Coon Cross ... they are a fascinating breed. He talks ... more like chatters ... & he is very entertaining. He fetches ... and loves human food ... must be present at the dinner table requesting to partake in whatever happens to be served at the time ... even if it is not really something that a feline should feast upon!
I've been wanting to show this pic since last spring! Mel actually has this as the "wallpaper" on the computer ... so I see it every time I log on ... but it took me a while to find it in her files & copy to mine.
This is my sweet li'l Kota kitty ... who had serious mats in his fur last spring. Mel's friend Vicki works as an assistant at a vets ... and did try hard to help clip out the mats ... but there were just too many for a fledgling to handle. I had to take him in to our vet ... have him sedated ... and they gave him what is called a "Lion's Cut" ... and aptly named ... is what you see here! $160 later ...
Although he was not entirely thrilled with the whole event ... he was relieved of the nasty mats ... and was one cool kitty over the hot summer!
Once his fur grew back in .... he looked more like his old self again ... and appreciative for the relief. For those who don't know ... mats go right down to the skin ... and pull at the epidermis causing severe discomfort. Shaving them off & allowing the fur to grow in again is the only way to correct the problem.
This is what he looked like months after that had happened. Back to his beautiful long-haired self ... without those nasty mats! He is such a beautiful boy!

Jenny's Card
Her last official day was Friday ... but I was off ... & suggested to the gals that we should do a "Farewell Dinner" for her ... and we'll do that this Saturday evening ... and will present it to her then. Hopefully by then the rest of the staff will have had a chance to sign it!
It measures 20 x 20 when folded as you see it above ... but folds out to 40 x 20 to reveal all of these Happy Face characters & balloon captions messages from the staff!
Last but not least ... I personalized it with my own crazy logo!
The management & staff was really impressed with my creation ... amazing what you can do & how much fun you can generate with a few packs of ... stickers! I'm sure Jenny will love the effort ...but moreso all the good wishes that everbody sends her way! It's a keeper!
Now you can appreciate why the whole visual thing was essential! A picture (or 3) is worth the 1000 words!
Will tell ya more after the dinner thing!
Hugs ... Marie

The Turkish club is leading the race to sign the former Arsenal man after he was given the green light to depart Anfield by Brendan Rodgers.
The 33-year-old joined the Anfield club on a free transfer from Manchester City last summer but the signing of Dejan Lovren and Brendan Rodgers' determination to keep hold of Daniel Agger - despite reports linking the Dane with a move - have pushed Toure down the pecking order.
Trabzonspor is leading the race to sign the veteran center half and Goal understands the Turkish club is confident of concluding a deal for the former Arsenal star.

Toure made 24 appearances for Liverpool last season but featured just once during the run-in between the end of February and May as the Merseysiders narrowly missed out on their first league title in 24 years.
Liverpool looks set to start the season with Lovren and Martin Skrtel at the heart of the defense but Rodgers appears keen to retain the services of Agger and insists he has yet to receive an offer for the 29-year-old.
Rodgers said: "I've seen some stories on that but, no, we haven't had any inquiries.
"Dan's still getting some work done on his knee, he's been a bit unfortunate since America. He's still getting treatment but we haven't had anything, no offers."
