As mentioned above, we are NOT the lenders, but a mediator (or an online broker) that can help you get quick and hassle-free loan within U.K. It is to be made very clear that your application does not guarantee loan at all or in part or at the aforesaid rate of interest. Loan approval entirely depends upon the sole discretion of associated lender(s). In addition, lenders may require some of your details that they would collect via e-mail or phone. We, as an operator of this portal, CANNOT make or take any decisions whatsoever on loan approval or extension.
We are one of the top agencies helping people get online loans in UK. We can help the seekers get quick loans at the least possible interest from various lenders.

As the representative annual percentage rate (APR) varies from lender to lender, it becomes the borrower's responsibility to go through all the terms and conditions of the lender you get matched to. It is also advised to read all the terms and conditions in the loan agreement very carefully before signing. Furthermore, your loan application does not guarantee you loan at all or at the aforementioned rates.
Implications & Consequences to Keep in Mind While Applying for Loan
Failure to Repay within Stipulated Time-Frame
Failure to repay the loan within deadline or stipulated time-frame attracts extra interest. In any such case, if it be, consult the lender directly without any delay to resolve the issue as soon as possible. A quick way out could be rescheduling of the loan or further discussion with the lender to settle credit without affecting the profile score.
Avoid Bad Credit Tags
Bad credit tags hamper your credit score more than you can imagine. Failure to repay in time would not only attract other financial problems like additional charges and penalties, but also hamper your overall credit score.
90-Day Tenure
Most of the lenders associated with us reserve all rights to withdraw payments from borrower's card after 90 days of due date for repayment. A clause related to this remains mentioned in the loan agreements.

Texaco Press Release - Texaco Begins Production From Gemini in Deepwater Gulf of Mexico
Gemini Represents $180 Million Investment in Subsea Development
HOUSTON, June 8 Texaco and Chevron announced today that they have begun producing natural gas and condensate from Gemini, a state-of-the-art subsea system of wells, manifold and flowlines located on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico in 3,400 feet of water.
Gemini's initial flow rates were 77 million cubic feet of natural gas (MMCFD) and 1,500 barrels of condensate per day (BCPD) from one well. These initial rates are expected to peak at daily rates of 150-200 MMCFD and 2,000-3,000 BCPD with two additional wells by year-end. This will make Gemini one of the largest subsea projects currently producing natural gas and condensate in the Gulf.
Gemini is located in Mississippi Canyon Blocks 292 and 247, approximately 90 miles southeast of New Orleans. Texaco Exploration and Production Inc., a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., is the operator of the project with a 60 percent working interest. Chevron U.S.A. Production Company holds a 40 percent working interest.
Projected recoverable reserves for the project are estimated at 250 to 300 billion cubic feet of gas and 3 to 4 million barrels of condensate.
"The first production from this subsea facility ushers in a new deepwater producing era for Texaco," said Robert A. Solberg, President, Commercial Development for Texaco. "The Gemini teams were challenged to overcome an array of technological, equipment and infrastructure issues which they have successfully accomplished in near record time."
The scope of Gemini consisted of the completion of an exploratory well and the drilling of two development wells. Several Gulf Coast contractors provided services for this unique project, including drilling operations, the design, fabrication and installation of processing facilities on an existing host platform, a subsea manifold system and dual gas export flowlines.
Discovered in 1995, Gemini is also one of the first deepwater subsprojects in the Gulf of Mexico. To reach the objective, the companies had to drill through more than 3,000 feet of shallow salt. Design, construction and deployment of the subsea system was accomplished in less than 18 months following project approval by both companies.
Gemini will also contribute to the initial infrastructure in this area of the Mississippi Canyon region where Texaco and Chevron are joint owners of more than 30 leases, strategically positioning the companies to grow production in the deepwater.

The fruits of this palm are eaten locally, rarely produced in commercial scale. However, this palm is cultivated for its heart, the palmetto, which is edible and extremely apreciated (it┤s delicious), which is promoting the extinction in natural habitats.

Considered by many palm nuts a tough palm to grow here in Southern California, if you have the right microclimate, they do quite well. It is a bit frost tender, but it likes lots of sun and takes a good deal of wind. It is just really fussy sometimes. Called 'edulis' since the fruit is edible and commonly eaten in its native South American countries. It is a tall, skinny palm with a long, attractive light green to bronzey crownshaft. It is a single stemmed palm (most Euterpes are suckering). It is the only species in the genus that can survive in Southern California (the rest are too tropical).

Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Review by Tarrun
Reviewed: 07/13/06
A sequel that doesn't disappoint.
When discussing some of the most memorable side-scrolling fighters, it would be a crime not to mention the Double Dragon series. Back in the eighties and early nineties, the games ruled the arcades and were equally as successful when ported to consoles. While the series has apparently dropped off of the radar when the reign of the 16-bit systems came to an end, with only a single game having been released in the past decade, the series impact is still significant. Among the many titles and ports, Double Dragon II: The Revenge stands as one of the best examples of what a side-scrolling fighter can and should be.
In terms of story, Double Dragon II is similar to the original in both style and simplicity. However, instead of kidnapping Billys girlfriend, the Shadow Warriors murder her. Because of this, Billy and his brother Jimmy, whos back on the winning team since the previous NES-port, set out to hunt down the Shadow Warriors and extract their revenge. The player finds this out through a short cinematic in the beginning, and the rest of the story is told before each level. While its clearly not the most in-depth story youll ever hear, is there anyone really expecting it to be?
Graphically, Double Dragon II does a pretty good job in recreating the arcades visuals despite being on a greatly inferior system. The graphics are much cleaner than the original Nintendo Double Dragon, and there arent nearly as many glitches this time around either. The Dragons have returned to their familiar blue and red garb (as opposed to the dark blue and white ones that were featured in the arcade), which, combined with the spiked hair, create a unique look that sets them apart from their arcade counterparts. The other characters are also well designed, and Bolo, Burnov, and the leader of the Shadow Warriors in particular look great. The minor characters have also been cleaned up, although Chin looks completely different than before. Since the game supposedly takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, the backgrounds are noticeably dark, with one level in particular showing the city with a sickly green haze surrounding it.
Like the graphics, Double Dragon II also features improved sounds and music over the original, with the overall clarity being much less grainy. The songs themselves are more of a hit-and-miss; while some of them do a great job in setting the mood (Mission 2 and the final fight with the leader of the Shadow Warriors comes to mind), others are too repetitive and become stale. For the most part, though, the soundtrack is impressive.
As for the gameplay, there really isnt anything new here; rather, the game takes the normal puzzles and adds to them. If you didnt like crossing conveyor belts and jumping over spikes or pits before, then maybe Double Dragon II isnt for you. Although your character is much easier to control this time around, so jumping onto small platforms or across rooftops isnt as much of a chore. You still cant switch directions in mid-air, but like before, that means you just have to be more careful. However, the addition of so many more puzzles makes the game more interesting and breaks up the monotony of fighting.
But dont take that last sentence the wrong way the fighting is very well done. There are quite a few new enemies this time around, including Bolo, Abobos replacement, Abore, an extremely powerful commando who tackles you, Burnov, a mask-wearing boss that can resurrect himself, and Right Arm, who stands in for Jeff from the arcade game. Most of the old faces like William, Roper, Linda, and Chin have returned, and very little has changed in their fighting styles. One thing thats interesting enough to note is that enemies can follow after you from platform to platform, so trying to avoid being knocked over the edge by running past the enemy wont work this time.
The Lees also have a few new tricks up their sleeves as well. Along with the basic combos and hair grabs, three new abilities have been added: the cyclone kick, hyper uppercut, and hyper knee. All three require you to time the attack correctly, as the former must be at the height of a jump and the latter two can only be performed in a crouch following a jump. However, theyre also much more powerful, which makes it necessary to practice using them early on for later. And with the heart system from the other NES Double Dragon having been scrapped, all of these moves are available to you right from the beginning of the game.
The button configuration is slightly different from the original; instead of A is punch, B is kick, they switch depending on which direction your character is facing. This can definitely be confusing at first, but it really doesnt take that long to become accustomed with the new controls. I suppose that this has the benefit of being able to attack behind you, but enemies dont actually throw a punch if youre already in the process of fighting someone else. In reality, it takes as much time and effort to kick backwards as it would have to turn around first, which renders the new controls somewhat redundant.
But no Double Dragon game would be complete without weapons, and Double Dragon II doesnt disappoint. Most of them should be familiar: pipes, bats, knives, and bombs all make their reappearance. There are a few new ones, though, including the mace and incendiary bomb, which have a two or three second timer before exploding. Its worth mentioning that knives arent nearly as powerful as they were before. On one hand, this means that you wont lose a third of your life if youre hit by one, but it also deals out minimal damage to your opponents as well. And unlike before, weapons carry over between screens, and knives bounce back onto the ground after hitting an enemy. Melee weapons can also be thrown, which comes in handy for attacking distant enemies or if you simply want to get rid of it.
Perhaps the most important aspect of gameplay in Double Dragon II, though, is the addition of hit-detection. Previously, while you were attacking an enemy regardless of who made contact first they would be able to be throwing punches as well. Now, however, your enemies are left stunned or hunch over after being hit, making the game much less frustrating than its predecessor. Although, if the hit-detection isnt the most important, then two-player cooperative play is. This includes two different modes, one where you can attack your partner and one where you cant. For obvious reason, this makes the game much more fun to replay.
And speaking of modes, there are three modes that changes both the enemies life meters and the number of levels you can play: the Practice mode ends after the first three levels, Warrior after eight, and Supreme Master has all nine. Oddly enough, though, the games default mode is Warrior, meaning that if you forget to change it or simply dont know, youll play through the entire game only to end up not being able to finish. This is definitely annoying and slightly confusing, but hopefully a mistake that wont be made more than once.
But even with the enemies becoming stronger as you increase the difficulty, Double Dragon II isnt exactly a challenging game. Of course, that statement is slightly misleading, because theres definitely the possibility that you wont complete it without practice. However, the levels themselves are never too frustrating that you wont be able to plow through it. This is partly due to the fact that you can never have more than four enemies on the screen at one time, but the games length more than makes up for it. Some of the jumping puzzles can be frustrating at times, with multiple platforms that require near perfect jumps onto small platforms that leave little room for error. However, there arent too many of them, and youll find that more often then not youll lose your lives from the wear and tear of being attacked by dozens of enemies in a level.
Of the many fighters Ive played both in the Double Dragon series and otherwise, Double Dragon II: The Revenge is one of my favorites. The game improves upon the arcade version and the other Nintendo Double Dragon in almost every way imaginable, and it goes above and beyond in every area despite the systems limitations. Without a doubt, Double Dragon II is one of the best games in the series, second only to Double Dragon Advance.

New Age likes to assimilate the most diverse prophecies. Those associated with the Mayan calendar are no exception. According to it, something should occur around 2012 (some have set the date to December 21, 2012). Most proponents of this prophecy see this change in a positive way. Nowadays, noone, except MIVILUDES (anti-cult office under the authority of the Prime Minister) translates it by "the end of the world."
Anyway, the anti-cult fight and alarmist MIVILUDES briefings have done their work and, in the village of Bugarach, in the Aude, the Mecca of the New Age culture, politicians are worried.
The mayor noted a new kind of immigration at the approach of the fateful year: people who would "take refuge" in the village. Pilgrims climbing the unusual-looking mountain to meditate regularly on top were, so far, tolerated but the fear of local officials is now to see the place overwhelmed by new arrivals: "I am beginning to wonder what will happen at the approach of 2012 when I see people already reserving accommodations. Besides, there are land and property speculations! "No kidding, the mayor asked:" Will we have, like the movie "Encounters of the third kind", to ask the Army to channel the influx ? . The Deputy Gilbert Cros holds about the same: "Bugarach, as well as Rennes-le-Chateau near, have always attracted all kinds of wacky. It was part of the folklore. But with the Internet and this story of doom, it takes an incredible importance."
As often, in this kind of emotional outpour, fear weaves its web. The words "apocalypse," "mass suicides" are already circulating and the media love to print them to attract the reader in search of thrills and, consequently, fuel phobia of spiritual minorities.
What if all this was just nothing more than hype to justify the existence of much ciritized MIVILUDES and its anti-cult raids ?
At the CICNS, we observed the craze for 2012 in recent years and we've mostly seen that the impulse was hope for change. After all, among those who picketed the factories and those who meditate on the summit of Mount Bugarach, there is hardly a difference. While it is likely that some people see an opportunity to talk about "the end of the world", most people just see 2012 as evoking a transformation or a reenchantment of the world.
This type of persons is not a threat to anybody. They are, at worst, people who have lost hope in the dominant model of society, at best "cultural creatives." And without the cons-advertising done to them by the outrageous and noisy French anti-cult trends, attention could be focused on the real problems of society to better solve social issues.
In 2012?
We are willing to bet that if real change occurs, whether coming from the Elysee or Bugarach, it will be well accepted by everyone. And MIVILUDES will be alone to regret that there was no Apocalypse.
Note: Le Figaro "December 21, 2012 This is by no means taken lightly by Miviludes. Thirty apocalyptic movements recorded in France and involving 30 000 members will be in the crosshairs of the anticult office. It recently learned that excavations in the Pyrenees were converted into residences and that yurts were emerging there. "The past has taught us that such beliefs could lead to tragedy," says its president, Georges Fenech. The most terrible dates back more than thirty years in Guyana, 914 members of People's Temple cult committed suicide. Among them, 276 childrens."

England 1 Republic of Ireland 1
The Republic of Ireland have held England to a draw at Wembley during their first clash in almost two decades.
This time the match managed the full 90 minutes - unlike Ireland's last encounter with England in 1995 which was called-off mid game due to rioting.
It started so well for the Republic as a stunning cross from Seamus Coleman was swiftly headed towards the top left corner of the England net by Shane Long.
Long opened the scoring, putting Ireland ahead in the 13th minute, taking advantage of some sloppy defending.
But the uproarious cheers emanating from the Irish fans - complete with green smoke pitch-side - were dulled as 10 minutes later England evened the scoreline.
Frank Lampard poked the ball in at close range in response to the Republic's early match opener.
The Republic of Ireland faced off against Roy Hodgson's men in the first fixture between the two nations in 18 years after rioting English supporters forced the abandonment of the last meeting in Dublin in February 1995.
Ireland had lost none of their last five meetings with England, including the game at Lansdowne Road which ended prematurely with the home side leading 1-0.

In Reply to: Re: Sensory Integration Disorder NOT ADD! posted by elizabeth on October 12, 1999 at 16:16:46:
My name is Shelly and I am 16 years old. A few months ago my sister, who is studying to become an Occupational Therapist, started learning about Sensory Integration Dysfunction. As she read about all the different symptoms and signs of this condition she realized I was a textbook case of this my entire life. When I found out about this so much became clearer to me. All the weird quirks I have are caused by this condition. I pull my hair constantly, I cant wear socks because they bother me, there are certain types of clothes I cant wear, I cant run my hand over a rough surface....the list goes on and on. I was diagnosed with a severe major depression disorder almost a year ago but now I realize most of that was caused by living with tactile defensiveness for so many years. Knowing about my condition helped me learn a little bit about coping with it. The problem is, there are no scientific studies about this condition in adults. I'm not a kid and using toys and things doesn't quite help me cope with it. I want to know how to live with Sensory Integration Dysfunction as an adult. I cant just not wear socks the rest of my life and I have trouble sleeping everynight because I'm uncomfortable. It really bothers me. If anyone can tell me a site or an e-mail address that can help me I'd appreciate it a lot. Or if anyone has questions about helping their children with tactile defensiveness I'd be very willing to give suggestions if I can. I'd really love to talk to anyone else who has problems with this condition. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.-Shelly

Chula Vista born "American Idol" contestant Jessica Sanchez has city officials preparing for potential Idol mania.
Chula Vista Marketing and Communications Manager Anne Steinberger said they are tracking Jessica's progress.
"We are in initial discussions on what kind of homecoming events could occur should she advance to the show's final three contestants," Steinberger said. "And no matter what the outcome, we look forward to recognizing her achievements."
Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox said Jessica is good news for the city.
"It's always exciting to be the town where someone who is doing such good things brings such good attention," she said.
Jessica, 16, is the youngest contestant of nine left this season, including four girls and five guys.
Traditionally on the show, a hometown visit is planned for contestants once they make the top three.
"People in Chula Vista are going to become more attentive to this," Cox said. "And I love promoting the notion that we have a Chula Vista teen on national TV."
Cox said this year was the first she's voted for an "American Idol" contestant.
"I voted once and wasn't sure if it went through so I voted again," Cox said.
The Filipino-Mexican singer attended Eastlake Middle School.
Principal Juan Ulloa said Jessica has their support.
"We put an announcement on the (school) marquee to support her as far as the show," he said.
Ulloa said he has been watching the show specifically because of Jessica.
"I have watched it ("American Idol") before, but not with the same level of interest," he said. "I'm watching it now and (I may be biased), but I think she is by far the best singer."
Although the school has not planned any public celebrations yet, he said he did receive a call from the Mayor's Office Tuesday asking for contact information in case Jessica makes the top three.
"I think it's exciting for the students and staff," Ulloa said. "I think it's great to have one of our own be so successful and I hope she wins it."
Eastlake Oggi's Pizza & Brewing Co. owner Christian Herrera said he is also familiar with Jessica's hometown roots.
"I became aware of her at the beginning of the season from my daughter," he said.
Herrera said that he is open to having "American Idol" viewing parties at the restaurant/bar pending contact and involvement with family members.
"If I had some connection I'd be totally open to cater to the crowd and help grow viewership," he said.
Oggi's became the main hub for friends and family to gather to watch Chula Vista's Parkview Little League games through the World Series in 2009.
Since making the top 10, Jessica has secured a slot on the "American Idol" tour.
She has more than 1,800 "likes" on her Facebook page and nearly 81,000 followers on Twitter.
Before trying out for the show's 11th season on the USS Midway, Jessica appeared on the TV show "America's Got Talent" when she was just 11 years old.
Jessica has revealed to media sources that she grew up listening to Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, two women with powerhouse voices, and that she also looks up to Beyoncé and Mariah Carey as musical influences.
"She is making us all so proud," Cox said of Jessica.
Cox said regardless of the end result, she can be proud of her accomplishments thus far.
"I think at his point she's already a winner," she said.

Is This Thing On?
Lately I have become a reality TV conspiracy theorist. I find myself watching, if only to look for all that is so not real with the so-called reality.
Since summer TV usually gives me the doldrums, I find there is little or nothing to watch when nighttime rolls around. Last summer though I did pick up a weekly habit of watching NBC's Last Comic Standing.
Call me
but at the time, I was actually still in the "gee golly" mindset of thinking the best person SURELY will win. But I have been through too many reality disappointments and setups since. This year I returned OLDER, WISER and yet still watching...
So, this season I tune in, full well knowing there was a little controversy surrounding the (ahem) casting of the show. For those of you who don't know, LCS (I'm abberviating not to be hip, but to save space and time, k?) is a reality show hosted by Jay Mohr where they allegedly scour the country in search for the funniest, in a relatively unknown sense, person in America. Last year's winner was Dat Phan. Last year's losers were ALL also ten times funny than...Dat Phan.
In an effort to avoid a repeat of Dat Phan's triumph, NBC exec's decided to get smart. In a full proof plan, they held their nationwide search. However, in an interesting twist of events they picked the 10 least interesting, but more importantly LEAST FUNNY COMEDIANS they could have, and put them in a house together. People of which by the way it was obvious they had pre selected even before traipsing across America. Of course we have yet to see who will have the last laugh, not to mention the first actual joke.
What happens when you get 10 struggling comics in a house together? Apparently ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The funny thing is they picked people who were already like sorta famous in a you've-seen-their-faces-but-you-don't-know-their-names-and-laughed-here-and-there-but-never-expected-to-see-them- again-EVER-kinda-way."
Take my personal fave, Ant.
Here's my problem with Ant. All, and I mean ALL, Of his humor revolves around one topic and one topic only, himself and his sexuality. I don't care who you are, if you're humor is situational then YOU are not funny. Sure you might have some good jokes, but a good joke or two does not a funny PERSON make. (By the way, if anyone has Jeff Foxworthy's email, I'd like to cc him on this.)
Here's the other problem: What is up with the lack of good female comediannes out there? Are we to believe Tammy "the mobster" Pescatelli, Kathleen "the mother type" Madigan, and Bonnie "the skuzzy twenty something chick" McFarlane are SERIOUSLY the funniest, unsigned female acts? As Hall and Oates once said, "Say It Isn't So!"
Some have said that the show was cast based on the drama factor or basically, who would cause the most problems in the house. See it's ironic cause FINALLY there's something that's funny. Hell, if I wanted to see that I wouldn't have been watching what I THOUGHT was supposed to be the search for America's funniest new comedian/ne.
I guess the joke's on me.

Risk and Saving in Two-Person Households: More Scope for Precautionary Saving
The existing literature suggests that when the saving decision of two-earner households under risk is analysed, standard results on the existence of precautionary saving no longer apply: precautionary saving is obtained if and only if very stringent conditions hold. This paper shows that when the two-earner household's saving decision is formulated more generally, standard assumptions suffice for precautionary saving to exist under increases in risk of the first and second orders, but not for higher orders.

Remote data manager integrates Web access, alarm handling, data capture: Siemens Industry
Siemens device manages remote installed process instruments, including those for flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weighing.
Siemens Industry Inc. announced the U.S. introduction of its new remote data manager. The Sitrans RD500 integrates Web access, alarm event handling, and data capture for remote installed process instruments into one device.
The device—suitable for the management and monitoring of remote installed process instruments including flow, level, pressure, temperature and weighing instruments—does not require engineering or programming.
The standard compact flash memory slot offers up to 2 Gigabytes of memory for data storage. Data logging uses file formats of common computer platforms, which can be accessed without special software. Sitrans RD500 also offers standard data transfer options for regular reporting and alarms to remote servers, email-clients—including cell phone, PDA and desktop computers—and SMS messaging.
One application of the device is compliance with government regulations that require industry to monitor critical applications for health, safety and environmental reasons. Another use addresses the need for organizations to access remote instrumentation for data synchronization, which can help optimize logistic and corporate reporting systems.
See detailed specifications online at www.siemens.com/sitransrd500 .

Chapman slated for rehab at Triple-A Louisville
Chapman slated for rehab at Triple-A Louisville
CLEVELAND -- Left-handed reliever Aroldis Chapman is slated to begin a Minor League rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Chapman, on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder inflammation since May 16, threw on flat ground in the outfield on Sunday morning with pitching coach Bryan Price. "If everything goes OK today through the course of the day, as we anticipate, he's scheduled to pitch an inning [Monday] in Norfolk," Price said.
Chapman threw a bullpen session and long tossed on Friday without issue. Price has worked with the 23-year-old on his mechanics after a stretch of wildness following the arm discomfort. The plan is to give Chapman a couple of days off after his Monday appearance and then possibly have him throw two innings and about 40 pitches. One more outing might come after that. "If he's throwing the ball well and pain free, we'll be able to activate him towards the end of the month or first of June," Price said. The club determined that Chapman should have the rehab assignment as opposed to having him throw in simulated games vs. Reds hitters. "We're not going to wait until the end of the month to have him face hitters for the first time," Price said. "We're pretty confident the delivery is where it needs to be right now. Now we just have to see if No. 1, the arm feels good and No. 2, that the pitch consistency is there. We're better suited to do that in a regular game setting as opposed to a simulated game."

Ask your employer to show you the Wage Withholding Order that the employer received. That will tell you where it came from. Then you should contact an attorney in the county where the order was issued to talk about how to proceed. Depending on the court that entered the order, time limits to appeal can be very short, as short as 3 working days from the date the order was signed. Don't delay in consulting an attorney on this.

Great Dane's aggression is likely from fear
Q: We've had our 5-year-old Great Dane since he was a puppy. I took him through puppy class, obedience call, agility class, private instruction and to my office daily. At age 3, he began to get protective of me, lunging and growling at other people. He stopped going to the office. Now, he's gotten worse, even lunging at a neighbor who put a hand over the fence, and he once jumped on a passer-by. I'm very concerned and fear I may have to euthanize this dog. Any advice? – D.M., Cyberspace
A: Please don't give up hope, says veterinary behaviorist Dr. Valarie Tynes, of Fort Worth, Texas.
Based on your description, you've done everything right: early socialization (assuming experiences were positive from the dog's perspective), lots of training (assuming no punishment-based training was involved), and even extending that socialization by taking your dog to the office – an experience that should have been good for you as well as your dog.
"Odds are, your dog has fear-based aggression," says Tynes, a contributor to "Decoding Your Dog," by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and myself, due out in January. "There may actually be a genetic predisposition to explain the behavior. In other words, you've likely done nothing wrong."
Tynes adds, "Meanwhile, the dog began to lunge at other people, who, of course, backed off, and that reinforced the dog. Also, you may be inadvertently reinforcing by offering cues to the dog, expecting the worst and tightening up on that leash as someone approaches."
The good news is, your dog has only lunged and not bitten anyone.
"Certainly, this is serious, particularly with such a large dog," says Tynes.
She suggests consulting a veterinary behaviorist (find one at www.dacvb.org), who may prescribe an anti-anxiety drug and can offer a specific behavior modification plan.
Q: My Maltese constantly barks at other dogs in the park. Since he has no fear of other dogs, I worry that another dog will bite his head off. Mickey also constantly barks when he sees anyone walk by the house. My neighbors are complaining. What should I do? – V.N., St. Petersburg, Fla.
A: It's a good bet that your dog is hardly fearless, but instead, is afraid of other dogs. Think about this: Mickey barks and then the approaching dog goes away. The strategy works. Mickey barks at whatever is outside the window. Again, the person or dog appears to respond by going away.
Certified dog behavior consultant Jean Donaldson, founder of the Academy for Dog Trainers in San Francisco, says the problem might be as simple as your dog's feeling constrained on a leash.
"Having a trusted doggy friend might be the first step to help," she adds. Still, you need a competent professional (dog trainer or certified behavior consultant) to determine exactly what's going on.
As for barking at the window, restrict Mickey to another part of the house or pull down the shades. However, that solution is only a Band-Aid.
"Offer more interesting things for Mickey to do in the house by enriching his environment," says Donaldson. "Offer treats in toys (food- or treat-dispensing toys) or genius toys that keep dogs' brains occupied, such as Nina Ottosson toys."
For more information, visit www.nina-ottosson.com or specialty pet stores.
Q: My 12-year-old cat developed a hump on his nose. It doesn't hurt him. He also has runny eyes and reddish-brown stuff comes out. I can't afford a veterinarian, so I hope you can help. – E.S., Woodbury, Minn.
A: It's impossible to discern what the problem is without actually seeing the "hump" or growth on your cat's nose.
Dr. Sheldon Rubin, a Chicago veterinarian, suggests that – assuming your cat wasn't stung by an insect – he could have cancer. A diagnosis is dependent on many factors, most obviously the kind of cancer that might be involved.
The runny eyes may not be related to the hump, and it could be an indication of a feline upper respiratory infection.
Rubin volunteers at Chicago's Anti-Cruelty Society, where low-cost veterinary care is offered, and many communities have similar clinics.

Questions by EvilG & Lord of the Wasteland

Live Pics of Jon Schaffer by Lord of the Wasteland
The collaboration of Iced Earth songwriter/guitarist Jon Schaffer and Blind Guardian vocalist Hansi K?rsch rocked the metal world in 2000 with the release of their self-titled debut. Now some five years later, they have found time to release another solid album entitled TOUCHED BY THE CRIMSON KING. As usual, Jon is a great interview subject who gives lengthy answers without having to do any prodding. In fact, some of his detailed replies answered other questions I had for him! Since Jon was doing interviews in support of the new Demons & Wizards release, the bulk of this interview is about that band. However, I managed to squeeze in some Iced Earth stuff at the end.

Well, the mid-week Champions League footie was good, wasn' it? But look at the forthcoming fixture list for the semi finals. Barcelona v Chelsea – a difficult one for Chelsea who needn't be reminded of the events when the two sides last met in the Champions League semi final 2nd leg at the Bridge back in 2009. The Londoners are out for revenge against the mighty Barça side. The other one, Bayern Munich v Real Madrid, is historically one of the most tense duels on the European stage – scandals, controversies and carnage have been on the menu in previous ties. An El Clásico final? Quite the thought, eh?
Speaking about European competitions, how good have Athletic Bilbao been in the Europa League? Amazing to watch, aren't they? They are making Thursday nights enormously worthwhile, footie-wise. They've tossed a little-known team called Manchester United out of the competition, have a date booked against FC Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey final and currently lie in 7th place in La Liga with an eye to hopefully make it into the top four and into a Champions League play-off spot. Surely they can't….can they?
Elsewhere in the beautiful game this week, reports from Italy suggest that Mario Balotelli's former club Inter Milan may possibly be interested in taking the Man City nutter back to San Siro. I can hear Noel Gallagher screaming in the distance as I type: "Noooooooooo". Also, Football El Mundo also bids farewell to the former Italy, Lazio, New York Cosmos and Swansea City striker Giorgio Chinaglia who passed away last Sunday. Here are all 50 goals from his record-breaking 1980 NASL season with the New York Cosmos – a club he joined in the prime of his career unlike stars such as Pelé and Johann Cruyff.

SWC is a collection of flex components like MXML or ActionScript files, images and other resource files in archived file. SWC provides security layer as the components inside the swc are not directly accessible but you need archiving tool like WinZip, JAR etc. In addition to security, it also make easy to transfer a group of files and assets as a single file rather than each file and resources.
To create swc file, you need to create a library project. We will see how to create library project in flex builder.
Step 1: Select File->New->Flex Library Project
Step 2: Enter Project Name (MyComponents) and click finish.
Step 3: Create Component under src directory.
Step 4: Right Click the application file and select "Include Class in Library"
Step 5: This will create swc file in bin directory. You can see the figure below:
Now you can use this swc file in your application by putting it in lib directory. You can see the example below.
You can use the component in swc file as below (No any extra code to access components in swc)

Northern Ireland top for broadband
Northern Ireland has the highest availability of superfast broadband in the UK.
Services are available to around 94% of premises. It is too early to tell how many customers are using it.
Last year UK Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced Northern Ireland would receive £4.4 million to expand its superfast broadband rollout, with additional funding from the Stormont Executive.
Nearly three-quarters of broadband users are shopping online and two-thirds are social networking with friends and family. More than a third of adults are also accessing the internet with their mobile phones, fresh research from communications regulator Ofcom revealed.
Jonathan Rose, Ofcom's Northern Ireland director, said: "Significant investment by the Executive and the telecoms companies has put Northern Ireland in an enviable position and provides significant opportunities for consumers and businesses."
The Communications Market Report 2012 also revealed an increasing appetite for internet on the move, with a tenth of people owning a tablet computer and a third having a smartphone.
Mr Rose added: "People are becoming more engaged with the internet, not simply using it to browse for information."
Overall, 69% of homes in Northern Ireland have a broadband connection, compared with a UK average of 76%. Over 55s in Northern Ireland are significantly less likely to have broadband at home than in the rest of the UK. Less than half of those aged 55 and above had access to broadband, compared with the UK average of 59%.
The report also said 30% of adults in Northern Ireland say they prefer to send emails than letters, lower than the UK average. Consumers in Northern Ireland also claim to send post less frequently than in other parts of the UK. However, a fifth said they would feel cut off from society without the postal service.
Northern Ireland internet users are more likely than all UK users to have suffered a negative experience online - around two in three have received spam emails.

In his unique teaching style, Pastor Bill Johnson delivers a message to help listeners pursue God for a greater measure of His presence than they have ever known before. In Face to Face with God, listeners will learn how to "set up an ambush" to apprehend God rather than just waiting on God; what it means to enter "the favor of His face", and how it changes history; how to deal with invading thoughts that enter the mind during prayer/meditation time; the reward of keeping one's eyes on the "Blesser" instead of reaching for the blessing; what happens when God speaks directly as a result of obedience; and how to move beyond spiritual plateaus to ride the coming wave of revival.
(P)2010 christianaudio.com
"One of his best!"
I am very grateful for having found this man of God. Highly recommend all of his writings! I've listened to the book twice already, and WILL listen to it again - over & over!
"Great Material, but Narrator was too mellow"
I always learn, am challenged, and fully enjoy Bill Johnson's books and teaching. I wish Audible had more of his books available.
Arthur Morey has a great voice, but it has a soothing quality to it, which is great for some stories, but I often felt like I missed some major points because I was so lulled by the sound of the voice I was missed the significance of what was being said.
I'd prefer to listen to Bill's books read by someone with more animation, vocally stressing main points. But I would listen to Arthur Morey in other types of books.
"Written by someone who really knows God"
Loved it all because it's a book that feeds your spirit.
The fact that the author pursued God with fervor and gave EVERYTHING. So few people do that and so they never really get to know God. When you are like that you hunger for others who know God because every word that comes out of their mouths feeds you.
All good.
yes definitely I've listened to it and am still listening to it. Over and over. Love it.
Top work. Thank you.
"Awesome Book! Really Inspiring!"
I enjoyed learning from Bill Johnson's experiences and personal growth. So many inspirational things that I have gained from listening to this book!
"God is Alive and Well"
Not too long ago I was told about Bill Johnsons books and after reading the first one I was hooked. I have since read everything I can get my hands on as well as subscribe to his Podcasts.
Keep up the great work Bill !
"Genuine Biblical World View"
This book provides a genuinely biblical world view which exposes the fraudulent experience most Christians stuck within institutional church's may be familiar with.
At the same time this book offers prophetic promises to the hungry soul that longs for the presence of God demonstrated by His power.
An excellent reading experience!
"Inspiring content - mechanically read"
The book itself is inspiring and I was eager to hear the recorded version of it but couldn't be more disappointed. The reading was mechanical. Although precisely performed it lacked appropriate inflection to relay the real meaning of the text. I don't think I'll be able to stand listening to it without being lulled to sleep.
Already listened over six times.
No anointing!
I have had similar encounters over the last 50 years but did not know how to maintain the level and intensity of the encounters. Nor was "The Church" forthcoming with any practical teaching on these experiences and the fact that these are a normal part of the Believers walk as a Kingdom Dweller. Believers at this level of intensity are ignored, marginalized or thought of as strange because "The Church" isn't walking in these experiences. BELIEVERS do not FELLOWSHIP with other Believers who have walked down this path.
By far the best book so far I have read or listen to by Bill Johnson. This book is a must have.
"An excellent perpective."
If your hungry for more of God this book will help. I have been on a journey since May of 2014 for more of His Presence in my life. Bill Johnson has added some amazing thought for my journey. Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
"Packed with power!"
This audiobook has literally changed my life and my desire for more of God to direct my life into His plans and purpose for me. Dynamite!
"Has helped me get closer to God!"
This book is a great book for those who want more of God, for those who are hungry and won't settle for anything less than God and all He has for them.
I listened to this at a time when I felt like I needed more of God but didn't seem to be getting any further in my walk!
This book has helped me to understand more of the bible through the eyes of Grace. As I would often feel not good enough and this book helped to build me up and know who I am in Him. There's so much revelation in this book & I think it's not only clear enough for young Christians it's also deep enough for mature Christians 👍
"Great book"
If you want to be inspired into a new level in your relationship with God - this is the book for you. No religion, no rules, just Jesus.

Reality show bar is coming to Chippewa
You've heard of brew pubs and gastropubs – how about a reality pub?
Fat Augie's, a bar opening soon on Pearl Street near Chippewa Street, will be a working bar that doubles as the soundstage for a reality show.
It's being outfitted with 20 digital video cameras mounted to ceilings, standing on tripods and attached to employees. Cameras will capture every move made by each bartender, musician and patron who enters the building.
The footage they gather will be edited into short Web episodes available on YouTube that will later be pitched to cable networks as a reality TV show.
Owner Dan Murphy, who has had a string of successful bars and pizzerias in college town Geneseo and near Syracuse University, said his main business concern is the bar itself, and that anything that comes of his proposed reality show will be the icing on top. But because he has been involved with national reality television shows in the past – including a top-rated hit on the Discovery Channel – he's confident he has enough knowledge about and connections to the reality TV industry to make the show a success.
Murphy hopes the presence of cameras and the possibility of fame will lure people through the door – who will, in turn, ring up lots of drink and food orders.
Once those patrons have filtered in and out, they (and their friends, families and the people they share with on social media) will become a built-in audience for the Web show – waiting to see if they made the cut.
The bar will also host a heavy rotation of diverse musical, comedy and other acts, whose performances will be edited into one- to three-minute Web videos. Those bands' followings will be another draw for the show, he hopes.
He has already cast a couple of female wait staff who will double as karaoke singers. One is Buffalo bartender GiGi Morrison, who said singing behind the bar is her dream job.
Morrison doesn't have aspirations to fame, she said, but has always felt like she was destined for something big.
"I'm just rolling with the punches and letting the movie of my life play out," she said.
Murphy has also hired a video editor who will double as a bar manager. He's still looking for bartenders, waiters, cooks, dishwashers and DJs – all of whom could end up being part of the show's story line.
"For whatever reason, there are a lot of people who want to be seen on TV," Murphy said. "When I was in Nome, Alaska – that's a small village, but as soon as the cameras started rolling, people would come out of nowhere. Guys would drive by with girls hanging out the windows, just to get a little bit of attention."
That's where Murphy got the idea to add the reality TV element to the bar concept that has been his livelihood.
A recreational gold prospector since 1969, Murphy was approached by production company Original Productions a few years ago, which filmed his crew dredging for gold over 100 hours one summer, testing him out for a show that eventually became the Discovery Channel's "Bering Sea Gold."
He was deemed "too boring" to make it into the on-air cast, but ended up working with another production company called Stone Circle Films to help secure Inuit subsistence hunters in Alaska for a show in development called "Ice Age Hunters." He also helped develop a spinoff show called "Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice," sharing his techniques for diving under water to dredge for gold underwater during Alaska's winters.
Neighborhood reaction
Though high drama is a key ingredient for many reality TV shows, Murphy is confident he can make and sell a winning show without resorting to scripted antics or outrageous behavior.
"All of my bars have been happy places with smiling people. I think people want to see that. They want to see good people having fun, dancing to good music," Murphy said. "I'm too old to deal with the baloney of people yelling and screaming and starting trouble."
The Chippewa District is too old for that kind of negative drama, too.
The entertainment district has made a concerted effort to move away from its reputation as a destination for drunk, frat-house debauchery and has become a more respectable, dining-centered hot spot.
"For a long time, a lot of people who had no background in the business said, 'I like to drink and I like pretty girls, I'm going to open a bar on Chippewa and get rich,'" said Jay Manno, longtime owner of SoHo Burger Bar on Chippewa Street. "The group of owners that's down here now is much more interested in the longevity of the area."
SoHo reinvented itself from a nightclub to a bar and grill. Nearby, the Lodge recently spent more than $1 million transforming the former Bayou bar into an upscale eatery. Bacchus wine bar has been a highbrow mainstay for years. And Uniland is building a sleek hotel on the corner of Chippewa Street and Delaware Avenue.
John Girdlestone, a Buffalo native who will be one of the bar's managers and video editors, said he thinks the show will "shine a positive light on Buffalo."
"How many people do you know that won't go to Chippewa because they think it's crazy? I was one of them," Girdlestone said. "But if you can show people a nightlife that can be positive, and show people hanging out responsibly, I think people are going to want to be part of that."
Automatic consent
Patrons entering Fat Augie's will not be asked to sign a release, but will be greeted with a sign informing them that their choice to enter the bar means they consent to being filmed and having their image used in perpetuity.
That is likely to attract more people than it turns away, according to Elayne Rapping, a professor emeritus of American Studies at the University at Buffalo who is a nationally acclaimed analyst of pop culture and social issues.
"People rate being famous over being rich as the biggest indicator of success," Rapping said. "The interest of self promotion has really ballooned with social media and YouTube."
Fame worship has been around since the 1920s advent of Hollywood movies and celebrity magazines, but has intensified over the past few decades as reality television has become an entertainment staple.
In a society where "selfie" was the word of the year, people tweet their every move and document everything they eat via photos on Instagram, a reality bar is the next natural progression, she said.
"It's a great idea," she said. "People are going to want to come to this bar to be on TV."

North Dakota legislation would permit vet students, technicians to dispense some veterinary drugs
The technician would be able to dispense veterinary prescription drugs on the order of a veterinarian.
The technicians would not be allowed to dispense controlled substances, compound prescription drugs, repackage prescription drugs or dispense medication for extra-label uses, the legislation states.
Educational requirements of technicians would include: * completion of an academic program approved by the state pharmacy board;
* participation in an on-the-job training program directed by a pharmacist, veterinarian or licensed veterinary technician that is approved by the state pharmacy board; * licensed as a veterinary technician by the state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners;
* licensed as a North Dakota pharmacy intern;
* or a veterinary student in an accredited college of veterinary medicine.
Continuing education and annual registration also will be required of the veterinary dispensing technicians, according to legislation.
The bill was introduced Dec. 29, but no further action has been scheduled.

Black Monday? That old gloomy descriptive no longer is specific enough.
It should be called Black Monday Morning.
That's because five NFL head coaches got fired before the clock struck noon in the East on Monday, the day after the 2013 season ended.
That raises to six the number of teams searching for a new sideline boss, after Houston whacked Gary Kubiak on Dec. 6.

Ethanol Lobbyists: Friends of the Taxpayer
"We simply believe American taxpayers ought not to have to further subsidize Brazil's or any other nation's ethanol industry when we are trying to build one in this nation. The tariff is there to protect the taxpayer, not the ethanol producer."
(BTW he is referring to the fact that right now, U.S. refiners get a 51-cent exemption on excise taxes for blending ethanol gallons into their output. So without the tariff, the refiners would naturally get the ethanol [to claim the tax credit, and also to comply with federal mandates on how many gallons of ethanol need to be in the mix] as cheaply as possible, say from Brazil.)

LANSING, Mich., June 5 (UPI) -- State lawmakers in Michigan moved to stop the sale of synthetic marijuana in the state, officials said.
The House and Senate agreed in principle on three bills that would enable the state Board of Pharmacy to stop the sale of the synthetic marijuana, sometimes referred to as K2 or Spice, The Detroit News reported.
Meanwhile, Macomb County approved "imminent danger orders" to immediately stop the sale of the synthetic marijuana.
And in Oakland County, the West Bloomfield Township Board passed an emergency ordinance banning synthetic marijuana as well as synthetic stimulants that resemble bath salts
Clerk Catherine Shaughnessy, who introduced the West Bloomfield measure, said officials had become aware of violent crimes in the Detroit area involving teens and young adults said to have used K2 and Spice, the Detroit Free Press said.
Current law in Michigan bans some chemicals used to make synthetic marijuana but experts say manufactures have gotten around the law by changing the formula.
State Rep. Ed McBroom, a Republican, said he expects the state measures to receive approval in both chambers and go to Gov. Rick Snyder within 10 days.
"It's on the fast track now," McBroom said.
The bills would allow state Director of Community Health Olga Dazzo to ask the state Board of Pharmacy to declare a product a controlled substance that can't be sold over the counter, and reduce the time to classify a substance as such from six months or longer to 10 to 30 days.
The product could be classified a controlled substance for up to a year, which would give the Legislature time to enact a permanent ban, McBroom said.

Kansai > Chubu > Tokyo > Kansai
Hi, I would be visiting Japan for 17 days in September and below is a rough itinerary of mine.
I would like to ask if the JR pass will be usable for the routes below???
Osaka (KIX) > Nara
Nara > Kyoto (3 days)
Kyoto >Kanazawa
Kanazawa > Shirakawago
Shirakawago > Takayama
Takayama > Kamikochi
Kamikochi > Matsumoto (day trip to Shirahone Onsen)
Matsumoto > Tokyo
Tokyo > Fuji Five Lakes > Tokyo
Tokyo > Koyasan
Koyasan > Osaka (KIX)
This is my first time in planning my own trip, I'd really appreciate if I get some help/ suggestions.
Thank you so much!
Hi there,
The JR Pass will be valid for all the parts of your trip with some exceptions:
Shirakawago can only be accessed by car or bus, so you should check out the Nohi bus company which has buses that leave from both Kanazawa and Takayama. Shirakawago is roughtly equidistant from both cities, and you can take the bus from Kanazawa to Shirakawago to Takayama for ¥4200.
For Kamikochi from Takayama you'll need to again take the Nohi bus. First to Hirayu onsen, and from Hirayu onsen to Kamikochi. Here are the directions from Kamikochi to Matsumoto which are also non-JR operated.
Fuji Five Lakes (Kawaguchiko)
For Kawaguchiko, the JR Pass will get you as far as Otsuki, where you will have to change to the non-JR operated Fujikyuko line to Kawaguchiko (approx ¥1100 each way).
For Koyasan, the JR Pass will get you to Osaka station, where you should change to non-JR Nankai lines to take you up to Koyasan. Here's a sample itinerary from Tokyo.
Planning your trip
You can look up precise train timetables and costs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia for JR Pass holders through our video blog.
Of course, you can check back here anytime if you get stuck!
Hope this helps!

Fuzzy clustering of univariate and multivariate time series by genetic multiobjective optimization
Given a set of time series, it is of interest to discover subsets that share similar properties. For instance, this may be useful for identifying and estimating a single model that may fit conveniently several time series, instead of performing the usual identification and estimation steps for each one. On the other hand time series in the same cluster are related with respect to the measures assumed for cluster analysis and are suitable for building multivariate time series models. Though many approaches to clustering time series exist, in this view the most effective method seems to have to rely on choosing some features relevant for the problem at hand and seeking for clusters according to their measurements, for instance the autoregressive coe±cients, spectral measures or the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix. Some new indexes based on goodnessof-fit criteria will be proposed in this paper for fuzzy clustering of multivariate time series. A general purpose fuzzy clustering algorithm may be used to estimate the proper cluster structure according to some internal criteria of cluster validity. Such indexes are known to measure actually definite often conflicting cluster properties, compactness or connectedness, for instance, or distribution, orientation, size and shape. It is argued that the multiobjective optimization supported by genetic algorithms is a most effective choice in such a di±cult context. In this paper we use the Xie-Beni index and the C-means functional as objective functions to evaluate the cluster validity in a multiobjective optimization framework. The concept of Pareto optimality in multiobjective genetic algorithms is used to evolve a set of potential solutions towards a set of optimal non-dominated solutions. Genetic algorithms are well suited for implementing di±cult optimization problems where objective functions do not usually have good mathematical properties such as continuity, differentiability or convexity. In addition the genetic algorithms, as population based methods, may yield a complete Pareto front at each step of the iterative evolutionary procedure. The method is illustrated by means of a set of real data and an artificial multivariate time series data set.

These two pieces, the first by Marcy Wheeler, in part commenting on the second by Amy Davidson in the New Yorker (along with Snowden himself, in his interview with Bart Gellman) are the first I've seen making a point I've been making for years: contrary to the frequent assertions in the last week (including by Fred Kaplan) that Snowden is particularly reprehensible because he "broke his OATH of secrecy," neither Snowden nor anyone else broke such a secrecy "oath."
Such an oath doesn't exist (look up "oath" on the web). Rather he—and I—broke an agreement (known as Standard Form 312) which was a condition of employment. It provides for civil or administrative penalties (e.g., losing a clearance or a job) for disclosing classified information: serious enough to keep nearly everyone quiet about…anything classified, no matter how illegal or dangerous.
The reason this matters is that Snowden, as he said to Gellman and as I've repeatedly said, did take a real "oath," just one oath, the same oath that every official in the government and every Congressperson takes as an oath of office. He and they "swore" ("or affirmed") "to support and defend the Constitution of the U.S., against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
