- Breakfast is included throughout the trip. On trek the breakfast will be a set menu usually consisting of porridge, toast and egg. Any additional items that are not included in the set menu should be ordered and paid for separately. We do not include lunch and dinner on trek allowing you to choose what you want to eat and when. The menus in the lodges are almost identical to one another but offer a varied choice, ranging from traditional Nepalese dhal bhat to pizza and apple pie. Dhal bhat is the staple diet in Nepal and comes in many different forms but generally comprises some curried lentil dhal and meat or vegetables, some rice, and a pickle/chutney. Another popular snack is momos; a type of Nepalese dumpling, fried or steamed, filled with meat or vegetables. Although meat is available in the teahouses, we advise against eating it on trek. The meat has often been carried in the heat from lower altitudes for several days before reaching the lodges, and can cause stomach upsets or illness. Germs can also be spread by handling dirty money - we recommend using hand sanitiser. *Drinking Water* Staying hydrated is important when undertaking any physical activity but particularly so at altitude where it is generally recommended to drink at least 3-4 litres per person per day. We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on trek as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Nepal's trekking areas. Some villages along the Annapurna Circuit route have safe drinking water stations selling UV treated water for Rs40-50 per litre but these are not always open. All teahouses will provide cold water free of charge, if requested. Although this should not be drunk untreated, we recommend that you bring a reusable bottle with a wide opening (Nalgene or similar) with you and use a SteriPEN to treat it with. A SteriPEN is a handheld UV water purifier – small, lightweight and battery powered so easy to pack for a trek. In Nepal's trekking regions most of the bottled water isn't strictly 'mineral water' anyway but is UV treated, so it's exactly the same technology. It's quick to use, far more effective than purification tablets, and the water is ready immediately. It's fine to use a SteriPEN on non-boiled water so long as it isn't cloudy or full of sediment (which is uncommon in these regions). SteriPENs are widely stocked on Amazon, outdoor shops and other online retailers; look for the latest models but avoid USB charging ones. Better still, a SteriPEN will pay for itself over the course of the trek and you won't leave behind a single plastic bottle – you will end up spending the same or even less than you would on bottled water, plus you can keep it for future trips. If you prefer not to invest in a SteriPEN, the teahouses also sell boiled water for approx. Rs150-300 per litre (the price increases the higher you trek), which in theory does not need to be treated. This is perfect for a bedtime refill as it can double up as a hot water bottle.

- Breakfast is included throughout the trip. On trek the breakfast will be a fixed set menu usually consisting of porridge or muesli, with either toast, chapatti or pancake, plus an egg or omelette and a cup of tea/coffee. Any additional items that are not included in the set menu should be ordered and paid for separately. We do not include lunch and dinner on trek allowing you to choose what you want to eat. Lunch will be taken at a teahouse en route - sometimes one of your guides will go ahead with the group's order to make it more expedient. Dinner will be in the same teahouse that you sleep at (this is custom in Nepal as teahouses base their room rate on it). The menus in the lodges are almost identical to one another but offer a varied choice, ranging from traditional Nepalese dhal bhat to pizza and apple pie. Dhal bhat is the staple diet in Nepal and comes in many different forms but generally comprises some curried lentil dhal and meat or vegetables, some rice, and a pickle/chutney. Another popular snack is momos; a type of Nepalese dumpling, fried or steamed, filled with meat or vegetables. Although meat is available in the teahouses, we advise against eating it on trek. The meat has often been carried in the heat from lower altitudes for several days before reaching the lodges, and can cause stomach upsets or illness. Germs can also be spread by handling dirty money - we recommend using hand sanitiser. If you have a gluten free diet, then we strongly recommend you bring some extra food and snacks with you to supplement the food on trek as there will be little variety available for you, particularly for breakfast. Even many of the soups are from powder/packets and contain gluten. If you buy imported food and drink whilst on trek you will spend more than the Trip Notes suggest. *Drinking Water* Staying hydrated is important when undertaking any physical activity but particularly so at altitude where it is generally recommended to drink at least 3-4 litres per person per day. We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on trek as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Nepal's trekking areas. Some villages along the Annapurna Circuit route have safe drinking water stations selling UV treated water for Rs40-50 per litre but these are not always open. The teahouses also sell boiled water for approx. Rs150-300 per litre (the price increases the higher you trek) which should not require treating. This is also perfect for a bedtime refill as it can double up as a hot water bottle. Alternatively, all teahouses will provide cold water free of charge, if requested. Although this should not be drunk untreated, we recommend that you bring a reusable bottle (or two) and use an effective form of water treatment. There are a wide range of products available these days which are more effective than traditional purification tablets - we recommend talking to an outdoor retailer for the latest advice as technologies are improving all the time: make sure to check the product's performance in cold/freezing conditions and consider battery life (lithium batteries are best in cold conditions). Handheld UV filters such as a 'SteriPEN' are widely available to purchase from online retailers such as Amazon and Ebay – they're very effective, can treat 1 litre of water in a couple of minutes and the water is ready immediately – look for lightweight lithium battery models and remember that you will need to bring a wide-mouthed bottle (e.g. Nalgene) for use with these devices. There is also an array of water filter and purifier bottles on the market, such as 'The Grayl' or 'Water-to-Go' but please note that these tend to have a small capacity and the filter systems will be less effective if they freeze so are less practical for high altitude treks such as this.
Start Kathmandu.
Those on the group flight from London will arrive into Kathmandu in the evening and will be transferred to our hotel. Those not travelling with the group from London will meet us in the hotel. There will be a full trek briefing at the hotel tonight. *Hotel Royal Singi* (or similar)
Scenic drive to Besisahar. Trek to Bhulebule.
We leave Kathmandu early in the morning and drive towards Pokhara. After leaving the Kathmandu Valley we follow the river to Mugling. We then continue to Besisahar where we begin our trek - the total drive time to the trailhead can vary depending on road conditions and traffic but is usually in the region of 6-7 hous. From here, we walk down to the river and cross to the east side to avoid the new road which is currently under construction. Our trail undulates above the river, continuing northwards up the Marsyangdi Valley with Himalchuli and Peak 29 dominating the horizon. We follow a quiet trail through rice paddies and villages for two hours until we meet the main trail at Bhulebule. *Teahouse*
Start the slow ascent of the Marsyangdi Valley to Jagat.
The trail continues up the east bank of the river to Ngaddi, where a large hydro project is being built. From here we begin a steady climb through scrub forest finally arriving at Lampatta, a Manangi village with Tibetan style prayer flags. A final short sharp ascent brings us to the village of Bahundanda, perched on a ridge. From the ridge we descend to the river at Syange where we once more cross the river. The trail then follows the river to Jagat. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 1,300m)* *
Reach the village of Dharapani.
An undulating trail leads to Chyamje, after which we cross a suspension bridge and climb through oak forest. The trail then emerges into a level valley where 'Tal', the next village is situated at the foot of a grand waterfall (1,700m). Crossing the river a couple of times we reach the village of Dharapani. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 1,943m)* *
Steady climb through forest to Temang, then descend to Chame.
Beyond this village we continue our climb over a spur to Bagarchap, at 2,164m. The name of this village means 'butcher's place' and, although Buddhist, the people of this region do hunt animals. Continuing, we follow the trail through forest to Dhanagyu and climb up to Temang, where we have lunch with magnificent views of Manaslu and Peak 29. The trail then descends though fir and pine forests to Koto and Chame (2,713m), administrative centre of the Manang district. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,713m)* *
Continue ascending through forested hillsides past the rock face of Paungdi Danda to Upper Pisang.
We now experience a dramatic change of scenery. Leaving the forests and vegetation of the alpine regions behind we enter the upper district of Manang, known as Nyeshang. At first our trail follows the river closely through a deep canyon before coming to Brathang at 2,919m. The trail then crosses the river and climbs through deep forest from where the impressive curved rock face of Paungda Danda rises nearly 1,500m from the riverbank, to Dukha Pokhari, where we stop for lunch. From here we take the trail that climbs away from the road track and to Upper Pisang village, where we stay for the night. There is an impressive monastery in the village which we can visit in the afternoon. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 3,300m)* *
Ascend the Marsyangdi Valley to the village of Manang.
From Upper Pisang we take the high level route to Manang via the villages of Gyaru and Ngawal. This is a wonderful walk with great views across to the Annapurnas. We start with a steep climb up to Gyaru. From here the trail undulates up the valley with magnificent views across to the Annapurnas to Ngawal, where we have lunch. We descend from Ngawal to Mungi and drop down to the main trail just before Braga, a picturesque village dominated by a large ancient gompa. We can stop for a cup of coffee at the Super Bakery and visit the gompa and the small tree nursery, a project that Exodus has supported for many years. Passing carved mani walls we arrive at the village of Manang at 3,519m. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 3,519m)* *
Acclimatisation day in Manang.
We spend this day around Manang acclimatising to the altitude. Most people climb the hill behind Manang to enjoy the magnificent views of the whole Annapurna range and the enormous icefall that crashes and rumbles down from Gangapurna. This is the part of the trek where we are closest to the mountains. Across the valley the huge bulk of Gangapurna and the Annapurnas tower way above us- the sunset and sunrise over this great amphitheatre is one of the most beautiful mountain views in the country. There is also a chance to walk up to the huge glacial lake below Gangapurna. Manang has many bakeries and coffee shops and is a wonderful place to spend the afternoon. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 3,519m)* *
Start heading towards the Thorong La. Half-day trek to reach the lodge in Yak Kharka; afternoon acclimatisation walk.
Leaving Manang we head towards the base of the Thorong La. We climb out of the Marsyangdi Valley and turn northwest up the valley of the Jarsang Khola. We are above the forests now and pass through dry, alpine country, with scrub juniper and occasional clumps of birch. We spend tonight at a lodge in Yak Kharka (approx. 4,000m). We will reach the lodge by lunchtime and in the afternoon we will have an acclimatisation walk onto the surrounding hills. Look out for the Blue Sheep that inhabit this cold, windy spot. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 4,000m)* *
Short half day walk to Phedi, at the foot of the Thorong La.
Another short day to aid acclimatisation. The scenery becomes wilder as we continue ascending the valley. At one point we descend to cross the Jarsang Khola, then traverse a scree slope to the lone teahouses at Phedi (4,420m) at the foot of the Thorong La. Thorong Phedi can be very cold and windy. In the afternoon we can go for a walk up to Thorong High Camp which is the last lodge and is about an hour above Phedi. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 4,420m)* *
Cross the mighty Thorong La (5416m) to Muktinath, a place of pilgrimage.
A long day as we leave Phedi very early the next morning for the climb to the pass. The first part of the ascent is very steep, but it eases somewhat as we approach the top, although the altitude still makes the going tough. Eventually, after numerous false summits, we reach the pass itself at 5,416m. Ahead there is a magnificent panorama of snow-capped peaks extending northwards into Tibet, and looking back we can see several of the main peaks of Annapurna. Directly in front of us is the great chasm of the Kali Gandaki, 2,500m. It's a very long descent that begins gently and becomes steeper, as we follow a series of switchbacks down to the grassy slopes, before easing off to a gentle descent to Muktinath (3,700m). *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 3,700m)* *
Trek through beautiful barren landscapes to reach Kagbeni.
From Muktinath we pass through a landscape of bare, eroded hills with a backdrop of snow-capped high peaks. After visiting the temples above Muktinath, we cross the Jhong Khola and climb up to Jhong - a beautiful village. There is a very old monastery here dating back to the 7th or 8th Century and the ruins of an old fort. The village has a small lodge where we can get a very simple lunch. Passing wind-eroded cliffs in an array of beautiful colours we continue down the valley arriving at the interesting village of Kagbeni (approx. 2,800m). Please note that in case we are delayed due to bad weather this day will be missed out and we will trek direct from Muktinath to Marpha. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,800m)* *
Walk along the Kali Gandaki Gorge, beneath the great peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna via Dumba Lake to Marpha.
The trail now follows the Kali Gandaki River down to Jomsom, a large administrative centre, at 2,713m. As you walk down the rocky riverbed look out for ammonite fossils amongst the pebbles. These are sacred to Hindus who call them 'shaligrams'. After lunch in Jomsom we cross the river to the village of Thini, where there is a small monastery. We cross a wooden bridge to Samley, from where it is about half an hour to Dumba Lake. This very small lake is considered holy by the local Thakali people. A short climb brings us to Dumba Gompa for magnificent views of the Kali Gandaki Valley, Dhaulagiri and Tukuche Peak. On treks departing in October and November we will drop down through Dumba village to the suspension bridge across the Kali Gandaki to Marpha. From December to May we continue on the same side of the river towards the Tibetan refugee camp. A wooden bridge crossing the Kali Gandaki takes us to the pretty village of Marpha (2,667m) with its clean paved streets and white-washed houses. Marpha is famous for its locally-made apple and peach brandy, which you might like to sample to celebrate your crossing of the Thorong La. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,667m)* *
Continue to follow the Kali Gandaki Valley; overnight in Larjung.
Today we follow the Kali Gandaki Valley, a major trade route. We are now in the deepest gorge in the world - to the east Annapurna I rises to 8,091m, to the west the peak of Dhaulagiri at 8,167m soars above us. Leaving the dry, barren landscapes we walk through pine, cypress and juniper forest, sometimes on the valley floor and other times on a trail high above. From Marpha we cross back over the Kali Gandaki to avoid the road. Walking through fir and pine forests we continue onto Chokhepani. In October and November we must cross the large suspension bridge just before Chokhepani to Tukuche for lunch. From December to May we can continue on to a small wooden bridge which takes us directly into Tukuche. The village is surrounded by apple and apricot orchards and the fruit brandy is famous throughout the area. After lunch we have a short walk to Larjung. In October and November we will stay on the same side of the river. From December to May we cross the river and follow a trail through Sauru village onto Larjung (2,550m). We stay tonight in a simple lodge. It is definitely worth walking up towards Thasang this evening to see the sunset on Niligiri. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,550m)* *
Cross the Kali Gandaki and trek past Titi Tal to Lete; descend to Ghasa.
Today we leave the main trail and trek via Titi Tal and Titi Gaon to Kurje Gaon. In October and November we will start with a short walk along the road to the large suspension bridge below Larjung. After crossing the river, the trail climbs up through the forest to Titi Tal, a very small lake. From December to May we can cross the Kali Gandaki using a small wooden bridge to Sirkung from where we have a fairly steep walk through the forest to Nupsang Kharka. From here we get fantastic views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche and Dhampus peaks. Dropping down through the forest we come to Titi Goan and Titi Tal. Following an easy trail we pass through Taglung to reach Kurje Gaon. We will either carry a packed lunch or have a very simple lunch in a local teahouse at Kurje . We then head towards the Lete Khola and trek on a new trail to Ghasa (2,010m). *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,010m)* *
Follow an undulating trail through small settlements to Tatopani, famous for its hot springs.
From Ghasa we drop down and cross the river. The trail climbs high above the river through a narrow gorge to Kopchepani. We continue on the same side of the river and follow an ancient trail up to Bhalebas. The trail then undulates and passes a hydro electric project just before Tatopani. A suspension bridge brings us right into Tatopani (1,190m). We usually have a longer morning today and late lunch in Tatopani, allowing time in the afternoon to enjoy a welcome soak in the hot spring baths here - guaranteed to ease any aching limbs! *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 1,190m)* *
A long climb up through the villages of Ghara, Shika and Chitre to Ghorepani.
The last stage of the trek takes us over a high ridge to the end of the trek. Today is a bit of a sting in the tail as we have a long climb to Ghorepani (2,855m). The trail climbs all day through small hamlets and terraced fields. Passing through Ghara, Shika and Chitre the trail climbs all day. From Chitre we enter a huge rhododendron forest and the last couple of hours take us up to Ghorepani. Ghorepani means 'horse water' and was a stopping place for the huge mule trains that used to ply this route. As we climb today the mountains start to appear and from Ghorepani we get fabulous views of the Annapurnas from the lodge. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 2,855m)* *
Optional early morning walk up Poon Hill for sunrise before a long descent to Birethanthi.
An early start for those who want to trek the hour up to the top of Poon Hill for the sunrise. The effort is well worth it for the superb views over the Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhare. We return to our lodge for breakfast and then its all the way downhill today through the forest to Banthanti and then down a stone staircase through Ulleri and Tirkhedunga to Birethanti by the Modi Khola. *Teahouse *(sleeping altitude 1,037m)* *
Short walk to Naya Pul and drive to Pokhara; afternoon free.
From Birethanti it is a very short walk to Naya Pul, where we will pick up transport back to Pokhara. We usually arrive by lunchtime and have the afternoon to explore this pretty lakeside town. *Hotel Lakefront / Hotel Dahlia* (or similar)
Free day in Pokhara.
We have the whole day in Pokhara. There are many options to choose from today. You might want to hire a bike and cycle around part of the lake, or you could take a boat across the lake and walk up to the Japanese Peace Pagoda with great views of the mountains and the lake (from the pagoda carry on up the ridge to Raniban Resort for lunch), or you might want to visit the Mountaineering Museum, the Gurkha Museum or simply relax in one of the many lakeside restaurants and stroll around the shops. *Hotel Lakefront / Hotel Dahlia *(or similar)
Fly to Kathmandu.
We fly to Kathmandu. Weather depending there should be good views on the flight. *Hotel Royal Singi *(or similar)
End Kathmandu.
The trip ends after breakfast. Those not on the group flight will leave us after breakfast. **

Irish nationalists and republicans would like the world to believe that Eire (the Irish Free State) remained strictly neutral during WWII. They did not. Many in the Dublin government were quietly sympathetic to the Nazis. Some were more overt than others. One incident oft cited by Ulster Loyalists, which illustrates Eire's pro-Nazi sentiments, is DeValera's visit to the German Embassy to express his (and by default the Irish governments) condolences in the wake of Hitler's suicide. Irish nationalists, who seem to be history experts to a man, either deny the incident ever occurred, or seek to downplay it. Every neutral country sent their condolences to Nazi Germany when the Führer blew his brains out they'll say. But that is a lie. Merely diplomatic protocol they'll say- a matter of good etiquette. That too is a lie. The most often repeated lie is the one that says 'Ach sure it was only Dev. It was only one man'. So say the historical amnesiacs of Irish nationalism, but their lies are easily dis-proven.
Two days after Hitler and his consort Eva Braun committed suicide in their Berlin bunker, Irish Taoiseach, Eamon De Valera, who also served as foreign minister, and his aide, Secretary of External Affairs Joseph Walshe, visited the German Embassy in Dublin to sign a book of condolences for the departed Führer . They also met with the top German envoy to Ireland, Eduard Hempel, a committed Nazi . Irish envoys in other nations did likewise, including Leopold Kerney in Spain, who called on the German Embassy in Madrid to express his condolences and lament the loss of Adolf Hitler. Irish President Douglas Hyde also expressed his condolences for the Nazi leader.
And this after the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Bełżec, Chełmno, Jasenovac, Maly Trostenets, Sobibór and a whole host of other extermination camps. After it had become clear to the world that Nazi Germany (and it's allies, most notably Croatia) had committed genocide on a huge scale. After the full horror of the 'Final Solution' had become all too clear. Other (supposedly) democratic nations did not offer their condolences on Hitler's death, for to do so would have been shameful in light of the Nazi dictator's crimes against humanity. Indeed, no other Western European democracies followed De Valera's example – he found himself in the dubious company of two European fascist dictators, Francisco Franco of Spain and António de Oliveira Salazar of Portugal, in voicing condolences over Hitler's suicide.
The global media saw it as an expression of pro-Nazi sentiment. An editorial in The New York Times said of De Valera's visit:
"Considering the character and the record of the man for whose death he was expressing grief, there is obviously something wrong with the neutrality of Mr. de Valera."
The New York Herald Tribune also blasted De Valera.
"If this is neutrality, it is neutrality gone mad – neutrality carried into a diplomatic jungle – where good and evil alike vanish in the red-tape thickets: where conscience flounders helplessly in slogans of protocol"
Many ordinary Americans also condemned De Valera. A Mrs.Walsh of New York wrote to a local newspaper saying:
"Have you seen the motion pictures of the victims of German concentration camps, de Valera? Have you seen the crematoriums? Have you seen the bodies of little children murdered by Nazi hands? Have you seen the living dead, de Valera? Skin stretched over bone, and too weak to walk?"
Ireland's neutrality in a war that cost millions of British and Allied lives remains a messy and controversial chapter in European history. But support for neutrality was strong in the country, with many Irish even expressing sympathy for the Germans as an "anti-British" entity. De Valera had already inflamed the British government in 1943 when he sent a note of congratulations to Indian nationalist (and German and Japanese ally) Subhash Chandra Bose following the latter's declaration of Azad Hind – a "Free India" government-in-exile", which was basically a puppet regime of Imperial Japan.
David Gray, the U.S. ambassador to Ireland in the 1940s, believed De Valera stayed out of the war on the bet that the Nazis would defeat the Allies. Gray also contended that some top Irish officials were, in fact, colluding with the Third Reich. In addition, in the two years just prior to the outbreak of the war in 1939, Eire refused entreaties to allow German Jewish refugees and other victims of Nazi persecution to settle there. Practicing a policy of "Aryans only" up until the 1960s.
Interestingly, De Valera did not extend the same courtesy to Winston Churchill as he did to Hitler when the British statesman died in January, 1965. In December, 1962, Sir Ian MacLennan, the British ambassador to Ireland, wrote in a secret memorandum to the Commonwealth Relations Office that De Valera would never honour Churchill, still angered by his responsibility in "carving up Ireland" and for criticizing Dublin's neutrality during the war. De Valera declined an invitation to attend Churchill's funeral, but deigned to release the following statement: "Sir Winston Churchill was a great Englishman, but we in Ireland had to regard him over a long period as a dangerous adversary."
These facts are inconvenient to Irish nationalists and republicans. They would rather deny these parts of their history rather than examine them. They would rather be selective with history rather than accurate. Historical revisionism comes naturally to Irish nationalists. It is done almost without thinking. Ireland likes to forget the parts of history that do not fit into the 'romantic little Ireland' narrative that has been so carefully crafted over the last hundred years or so. Irish nationalists simply ignore that which doesn't suit them, they'd rather any wrongdoing was simply forgotten, not just by the Irish but by the rest of Europe as well.

My mother-in-law gave me these cute gingerbread man cupcake liners for my birthday last month.
I knew that I couldn't bake just any old cupcakes in them...they were deserving of something special.
They needed to GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES, of course!
Topped with these cute little gingerbread man sprinkles I found last year? Definitely.
Here is what the bottom of the liners look like. Cute, huh?
I scoured the internet for a great gingerbread recipe, and decided upon this one for old-fashioned sticky gingerbread, made with boiling water just like our great-great grandmas would have used. Or at least I imagine mine did ;)
And let me tell you...this recipe did not disappoint! It's just the texture and taste I was envisioning. Super yummy! And topped with some extra special cinnamon lemon cream cheese frosting?

Chloe Sevigny says she was bummed out that her dress got ripped as she walked on stage to accept her best supporting actress Golden Globe Sunday night.
The Big Love star, 35, told UsMagazine.com she felt "amazing" in the ruffled Valentino frock.
Asked how she picked it out, she said, "It just spoke to me."
"Unfortunately, the gentleman who escorted me up to the stage when I won this grand award stepped on it as he was walking away and tore it," she told Us in the press room. "So now it is slightly more tattered even after the rain. But I will make it through. I love the gown."
She ended up changing into a a Christian Lacroix dress for the after parties. She said she loves a good "dress hunt," as well as "trying on a bunch of great gowns and seeing the construction of the gowns and holding them and trying them on. It's something that not many people get to do."
She told Us her win still hasn't hit her.
"I'll probably celebrate with my girlfriends when I go back home to New York," she said. "They'll all come over and drink champagne, and we'll have a dance party."

Hi friends,
How are you this week? I am having a great week coaching and teaching in South Carolina. I am happy to still be able to share with you even though I am away. I have recovered from my momma's guilt yesterday (when I got the phone call from my husband that our son got injured on the playground). My daughter did share with me on the phone this afternoon that her BFF hurt her feelings and was 'mean' to her at school today. I gave my husband instructions on the phone to talk to her tonight about it when he put her to bed to make sure that she felt listened to because that's what I would do if I was there. I know he's doing a great job being Mr. Mom this week while I am away. I look forward to returning to my position in the family later this week.
Let's take a break today from decorating and talk about our wardrobes. Every season I usually choose a signature color. For me that means that I might pick up a piece or 2 or 3 in that color to 'spice up' my wardrobe for that season. For fall, it was definitely orange. I got an orange shirt, scarf, and pin to add to my fall clothes. You can check them out here:
I don't think I really chose a signature color for winter this year. Just lots of black and gray. Last year, I picked up a couple of deep purple pieces for winter which I guess I did add one piece to this year:
So, here we are on the verge of spring. We've got to go shopping and pick up a couple of spring pieces to 'spice up' our spring collection, right? I think my signature color for spring is going to be red. I already have a lot of blue in my wardrobe since blue really is my favorite color so pairing red with blue is a fun look for spring. Kinda got the sailor maritime look going on. Here are some red pieces that I've picked up this spring:
Then I picked up one yellow item for spring to really add some spice to the equation!
Now, here are some fun outfits that are inspired for this color palette:
And I did recently make one 'wildcard' purchase that is a reflection of my fall signature color (orange):
What about you? Do you sometimes chose a color that you're currently digging and get a couple of new pieces in that color? Am I the only crazy person who thinks this way? Let me know. I'd love to hear what color you're really loving right now for your wardrobe.
Happy decorating & living,

Contents of the Collection
1. Alphabetical Files Series, 1867-2009 and undated
The largest in the collection, this series consists primarily of correspondence and interview notes with various people to whom Carr wrote while doing research for her biography of McCullers. Among the many writers, artists, and friends of McCullers that Carr contacted, there are Edward Albee, W.H. Auden, Djuna Barnes, Simone de Beauvoir, Elizabeth Bowen, Salvator Dali, Greta Garbo, Graham Greene, Christopher Isherwood, and Alberto Moravia. While many of the people Carr addressed refused to cooperate with her biography, numerous others offered their assistance, and the series includes significant material from and about David Diamond, Jordan Massee, Edwin Peacock, Mary S. Tucker, and Tennessee Williams. The series is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the correspondent, but is preceded by four folders with general information, including addresses and notes about the people represented in the series.
2. Research Files Series, 1907-1976 and undated
Consists of various materials that Carr compiled while preparing the publication of her biography of McCullers. The bulk are copies of correspondence (written primarily by Carson McCullers), notes from interviews Carr conducted, clippings, and several journal articles. Other documents in the series include acknowledgements for The Lonely Hunter and readers' reactions to the book's publication. The series is arranged alphabetically, and then chronologically within individual folders.
3. Correspondence by McCullers Family Series, 1933-1967 and undated
Contains correspondence written primarily by Carson McCullers, even though there are several by others, including her husband Reeves. By far the greatest number of letters are from McCullers to David Leo Diamond, written in the early and middle 1940s, and to John Huston, from the last year of her life (1966-1967). The series also contains some correspondence addressed to Jordan Massee, Edwin Peacock, Muriel Rukeyser, and Carson's mother, Marguerite Smith. Folders are arranged in alphabetical order; materials inside them are organized chronologically.

No artigo linkado, Hirshleifer argumenta pelo uso de sociobiologia na economia (sem imperialismo). É um dos poucos que vi mais mainstream que chega a citar a tradição evolucionária de Nelson & Winter.
One of the earlier advocates of using evolutionary biology in economics was Jack Hirshleifer, a professor of economics at the University of California, Los Angeles. Hirshleifer was author of The Dark Side of the Force: Economic Foundations of Conflict Theory, which includes evolutionary analysis of cooperation and conflict, and some discussion of the unification of law, economics and evolutionary biology. The subject of this post is his 1997 article Economics from a Biological Viewpoint from the Journal of Law and Economics. Coming on the heels of E.O. Wilson's Sociobiology, Hirshleifer states that there is no argument about the utility of using sociobiology in economics. The only open question is how much utility can be gained.

I leave it to the discretion of the b-greek facilitators as to whether this is matter for the
list or for off line contact.
Randall, thanks so much for the prompt delivery of the demo CD. I love the audio
part and can see immediately, at least for myself, the value of a pronunciation that one
can use to 'relate' to a language and make it part of ones self. Just one request: I'm
suggesting that as a teacher you take into consideration the slower 'synapses' of this
elderly student. Could you find time to make up a vowel/consonant for sound sheet such
as we all have been used to in the study of languages. I suspect that if I work at it long
enough, listening to the CD, referring back to the pages, I'll eventually get it. But it
would be nice to have an 'idiot proof', if such there be, sheet of equivalents that would arm
me with what to expect as I listen to the audio. For instance, if it were not for my previous
knowledge of how Modern Greek handles Upsilon in certain combinations, it would have
taken me a while to admit that I was hearing what I was hearing. Please see this as a
request for patience with a student that sometimes needs very concrete presentations in
order to move on to the next step. Again, I am impressed with the notion of having a
way of vocalizing the language that will encourage the reader to internalize the content of
the Gospels. Frankly, I cannot say adequately what this means to me. Thanks, Pete

ISA/TMG Community:
As much as I like to only announce exciting news, today, I must blog about security updates for both the ISA and TMG (MBE) product lines. It has been almost four years since the last ISA bulletin and we are very proud of our engineering due diligence and the quality of the Microsoft SDL (Security Development Lifecycle) in producing a very secure and reliable product. With that said, we also always be honest and take the high road with our customers when we find anything can be classified as an exploit or vulnerability. In this bulletin, we have packaged two separate issues together. One was found internally through a bug investigation and the other externally reported and disclosed responsibly to us. The two issues we have patched in these packages are the following:
- XSS in ISA-standard FBA (not RSA forms)
o Applies to ISA Server 2006 (RTM, Supp Updt, SP1) and TMG (MBE).
o Does not apply to ISA Server 2000 or ISA Server 2004.
This issue only affects Web listeners that use ISA-standard (not RSA) forms-based authentication.
- Limited Web listener DoS due to TCP state mishandling
o Applies to ISA Server 2004 SP3, ISA Server 2006 (RTM, Supportability Update, SP1) and TMG (MBE).
o Does not apply to ISA Server 2000
This issue is caused by a remote host abusing TCP state before sending data.

1. Because the firewall driver is being replaced, these packages require a reboot on ISA or TMG servers that are operating in proxy or firewall roles.
2. The TMG package will install on a remote management server (such as the EBS Management role), but will not update any files (they're not used anyway).
3. TMG MBE requires the user to completely remove and reinstall the product in order to change from / to management-only, so the patch must be reapplied if the user makes this change.
4. The ISA packages will install on management-only servers and will update the files
5. Changing ISA Server 2004 or ISA Server 2006 from management to firewall or proxy mode will not revert the updated files to the originally-installed versions
6. Because the packages are different for ISA 2006 RTM, Supportability Update and SP1, the appropriate update must be applied if ISA 2006 is updated to the minor revision (RTM, SU, SP1).
7. These updates will be included in any hotfix or update package that follows these updates

It is final—her death.
Her short life is over.
An accumulation
of her 40 years
was enough to produce
a kind of life which—
when ended—
shot bullets of grief
through her family
and friends,
and even those of us
who know her now
only by the stories
she left behind.
If only the last one
could be erased—
the story of her ending—
the story of the bullet
that isn't a metaphor
for pain or death
or the kind of speed
with which sorrow
can pierce the day
with its cold metallic
indifference, and leave
the living on the ground
bleeding from
the exit wound.

Coroner of the Eastern District, Magistrate Teddy St. Louis might be forced to issue bench warrants for a group of summoned jurors for the Oscar Bartholomew's Inquest.
St. Louis hinted at that possibility on Monday as most of the jurors failed to show up at the St. David's Magistrate's Court for the matter, which is yet to start since it first came to the court last May.
The Coroner's Inquest is to determine if a group of six Police Officers are culpable for the death of Bartholomew who is a Grenadian National that obtained Canadian citizenship.
The 39-year old Bartholomew who was visiting Grenada in December 2011 with his Canadian wife was allegedly beaten by Police Officers, 649 Edward Gibson, 675 Shaun Ganness, 237 Ruddy Felix, 748 Kenton Hazzard, and Rural Constable Wendell Sylvester while in custody at the St. David's Police Station on December 26.
Bartholomew died at the St. George's General Hospital the following day as a result of injuries to the head.
Relatives said the altercation occurred after he bear-hugged a plainclothes policewoman he had mistaken for a friend and she yelled, "Rape!"
Bartholomew lived in Toronto but was in his native Grenada to visit family with Cyr, his wife of 10 years.
One of the lawyers representing the Policemen, Anselm Clouden told THE NEW TODAY Newspaper that due to the absence of a significant number of jurors the court was unable to proceed with the inquest.
He said the five jurors who were present were not able to form a quorum.
A minimum of about ten jurors is needed to constitute a quorum. Nineteen jurors were summoned for the inquest.
This newspaper learnt that a number of witnesses including Police Officers were also absent.
According to Clouden, Magistrate St. Louis uttered displeasure with the manner in which his court was being treated.
The seasoned attorney-at-law cited the need for all concerned with the matter to demonstrate to the world, especially the Canadians that the rule of law is respected, and that there is an independence of the judiciary in Grenada.
The Coroner's Inquest is now set for November 11.
Further summons were issued for the jurors and witnesses.
Clouden initially said the inquest could take up to eight weeks but it's unclear if Monday's setbacks will cause significant delays.
He stressed the need to proceed quickly given Canada's interest in the case.
"Already there seems to be some inordinate delay in proceeding," Clouden said Sunday in a phone interview from St. George's.
"This process ought to be expedited because there are other interested parties looking in and we must give the world assurance that we are proceeding."
The police officers were initially charged with manslaughter but the charges were quashed in March after a judge ruled the Coroner's inquest must take precedence.
The judge also ordered the officers reinstated and paid back the wages they missed as a result of being suspended due to the charges. They had been suspended with half-pay while on bail.
The Coroner's Act mandates an inquest when someone dies in a public facility, such as a prison.

DEADOSE INDIANS. The Deadose (Agdoza, Doxsa, Igodosa, Jacdoas, Judosa, Yacdossa) Indians are known to have existed only during the eighteenth century. It is now clear that they were closely related to the Bidais and spoke an Atakapan language. In the early eighteenth century they lived between the junction of the Angelina and Neches rivers and the upper end of Galveston Bay. Some time after 1720 the Deadoses moved westward to an area lying between the Brazos and Trinity rivers in the vicinity of present Leon, Madison, and Robertson counties. Between 1749 and 1751 the Deadose Indians, along with other Atakapan-speaking groups (Akokisas, Bidais, and Patiris), were represented at the short-lived San Ildefonso Mission near present Rockdale in Milam County. A few Deadose (Yacdossa) Indians entered San Antonio de Valero Mission shortly afterward. In the second half of the eighteenth century the Deadoses were at times closely associated with certain Tonkawan groups (Ervipiames, Mayeyes, and Yojuanes), and it was once thought that their language might have been Tonkawan. This view was abandoned because other evidence clearly indicated an Atakapan linguistic affiliation. The Deadose Indians suffered heavily from European-introduced diseases, especially measles and smallpox, and they eventually lost their ethnic identity in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Remnants of the Deadoses probably joined the Bidais, who survived into the nineteenth century, although some may have been absorbed by the Tonkawas. J. R. Swanton erred in identifying the Yacdossa of San Antonio de Valero Mission as Coahuiltecans.

By Walt Hunter
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Three jet skiers suddenly became heroes around 10:40 a.m. Monday when, police say, they saved a 61-year-old woman who was swept under by Delaware River currents just off of Penn's Landing.
Eyewitness Tyrone Weston, who took photos of the rescue, told CBS 3's Walt Hunter in an exclusive interview how the three jet skiers – two men and a woman – raced to help the woman moments after she fell in.
Lt. Andrew Napoli of the Police Marine Unit told Hunter the jet skiers kept the woman above the water until a nearby police craft arrived.
The unidentified woman was checked out by medics, but police say she is expected to make a full recovery.
The unidentified rescuers headed back up the Delaware after the incident ended.
Lt. Napoli says that considering the river's depth and the dangerous currents, he believes the heroes' quick actions may have saved the victim's life.

Restructuring process in the
financial sector is aimed at improving their viability to face the
growing competition
By SHABBIR H. KAZMI
May 20 -June 02, 2002
One cannot undermine the importance of financial
institutions in the economy of Pakistan. As the sector is now being
dominated by the private sector, acquiring funds has become easy and
less time consuming. Over the last twenty years both leasing companies
and Modarabas have played very important role in capital formation and
will also have a bigger role in the future.
It may be true that the regulators have been
cognizant of the problems faced by the players, their response is often
delayed and by that time the damage has been caused. For example,
despite the long standing demand of leasing sector to put a constraint
on other financial institutions to undertake leasing business, more and
more banks are allowed to commence leasing business.
It may be true that commercial banks and investment
banks have surplus and low cost funds at their disposal, but they should
lend the money to leasing companies or enter into Musharika arrangements
with Modarabas rather than establishing their own leasing divisions.
The performance of leasing companies for the year
ending June 30, 2001 was commendable, keeping in view the global as well
as local conditions. During the year business was mostly driven due to
textile and automobile sectors. However, provisioning was relatively
higher in case of a number of companies. The competition was intense and
further fuelled by entry of other financial institutions in leasing
It was one of the rare events in Pakistan that
regulators put their feet down and refused to extend date for enhancing
paid-up capital of leasing companies. It was also evident that
regulators gave an opportunity to the companies to come up with their
own plans, including issue of right shares at discount.
There was also a shift from the way leasing business
was conducted in the past. Previously only large corporates were keen in
acquiring assets on lease but now even smaller and SMEs are availing
this option. In the past there was an inclination towards financial
lease but more and more clients are now going for operating lease.
Analysts, say that there is still a huge latent demand for funds.
The largest number of TFCs have been floated by the
leasing companies and more are in pipeline. On the one hand leasing
companies are able to mobilize funds at competitive rates and on the
other hand, TFCs offer attractive opportunities for those investors who
are looking for a regular and predictable income from their investment.
The financial results for the year also indicate
commendable performance despite economic slow down. Dividend payout for
the year seems encouraging as 19 out of 35 members of Modaraba
Association of Pakistan (MAP) declared dividend ranging from 1.5 per
cent to 46 per cent as compared to a payout of 4 per cent to 30 per cent
for the previous year.
One of the biggest achievement during the year was
the introduction of Certificates of Musharika (CoM). Though, only one
Modaraba was able to issue CoM, others are also planning to avail this
mode for raising funds. Efforts are also being made to float Term
Finance Certificates (TFCs) based on Islamic mode of financing to raise
funds. The MAP has already made presentation at the Religious Board and
expected to receive the approval in due course of time.
Yet another achievement was flotation of Fayzan
Manufacturing Modaraba by Faysal Management Company. The Modaraba has
been floated for the specific purpose of setting up an additional plant
to manufacture PSF and/or its variants by ICI Pakistan. Its paid up
value is Rs 900 million and it is initially for a period of five and a
half years and can be renewed with the mutual consent of both the
The GoP's efforts to revive the economy have
started yielding results and the demand of private sector for funds is
growing, may be not as high a rate as desired. Textile industry has
already initiated major BMR and expansion plan. With the greater access
to the US and European Union, investment in made-ups manufacturing has
also started. Leasing being the major source of medium term fund is
expected to reap the benefits.
The two factors expected to impact profitability of
companies doing core business of leasing are: interest rate movement and
provisioning against non-performing lease portfolio. While interest
rates are expected to witness a declining trend, there are serious
apprehensions about growing delays and defaults by the borrowers.
However, the real impact will not be visible during the year ending June
30, 2002.
A sector grossly ignored so far is the housing
finance. Since the funds have to be committed for 15 to 25 years,
private sector has been shy. However, the issue has to be addressed on
top priority. Can the leasing companies and Modarabas assume this

The craft cache is once again overflowing. Some of my I MUST DO THIS, I LOVE THIS! projects:
Cozy Frosty Candles
I'm thinking they would look lovely in muted fall colors. What the heck!? Muted? Yeah right. Wham kazam ORANGE! And RED! And GREEN! Ok, I'm done yelling colors at you.
Fabric Covered Storage Cubes
Because really, could storage cubes be any uglier? Furthermore, does dust HAVE to get permanently stuck into those 18 million crevices that they have? And have you ever stubbed your toe/toes/entire FOOT on those ugly dust ridden cubes? YEOWCH. Methinks I'm not liking my storage cubes too much. Huh.
Gift Wrap Holder
The only problem with this beautiful holder is that I need seventeen of them with which to hold my stash. I may have a slight overabundance of wrapping paper. So WHY do I use gift bags? Dunno.
Repurposing a short-sleeve shirt to a long-sleeved shirt.
Oh wait. I already did this. Go me! I actually did something on my craft cache list! Oh, you wanna see it?
Here ya go:
The stripes were all parts of a 2T sized long-sleeve shirt of Bubbalu's that was hopelessy too small. Mr. Monkey has no name as of yet:
...or eyes. I purposefully 'forgot' to add them as they continually creeped me out. No matter where I placed them they followed me...or made Mr. Monkey look possessed. Not the look you want for your toddler. I have a pile of t-shirt awaiting their turn (and my time and inspiration) at the sewing machine.
OK y'all, link up in the comments to some of your craft Cache I MUST DO THIS, I LOVE THIS! projects. Because I want my craft cache list to go from hopelessy overfull to obscenely impossible.
Happy Crafting!

It won't be the star announcement of this week's Intel Developer Forum, but it's still noteworthy that Intel is trotting out hardware support for the Geneve encapsulation protocol.
Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) is the peacemaking protocol drafted to unify VXLAN, NVGRE, and whatever other tunneling protocols emerge for network virtualization. Submitted to the IETF on Valentine's Day this year, Geneve doesn't exactly replace VXLAN and other protocols. Rather, it provides a common superset among them, so that outside software can provide hooks to Geneve rather than having to accommodate multiple encapsulation standards.
A blog entry on Network Heresy today notes that Geneve support is already happening in some software, including Open vSwitch.
Now hardware support is arriving, just seven months after Geneve arrived. Network Heresy notes that the Intel XL710 network interface card, previously code-named Fortville, will include 40-Gb/s support for Geneve encapsulation. The "40 Gb/s" part is important because the main reason to use Geneve in hardware, rather than just a software implementation, would be for performance.
When Geneve came out, it was noted that x86 chips could support the protocol, so it's not surprising that Intel already has hardware out. The unknown factor is how long it will take for switch chips — including Intel's FM4000 series and the industry-leading Trident chips from Broadcom — to support Geneve in hardware.

I was just having fun making a card that meets the requirements of two current challenges. This card will be entered in Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge: Layer It Up and Simon Says Stamps Flickr Challenge #67: Think Spring.
Size: Vertical side fold A2 card
Extra Details: I started by stamping my images and sentiment on a panel of white cardstock. I masked the stem of the flower so it looked like the mouse was holding it. I added some color to the corner with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and a Mini Ink Blending Tool. I used colored pencils to add color to the mouse and flower. I used a white gel pen to color in the petals of the flower, and add some detail to the mouse's eyes. Once the white gel pen was dry, I outlined everything in a black gel pen. I felt like it made the two stamps from different companies look more alike.
Next, I die cut the stamped panel with a small stitched rectangle die. I also die cut a piece of dotted vellum, blue polka dotted patterned paper, and striped patterned paper with stitched rectangles. Then, I began layering all of the papers together. I added the velum to the back of the stamped piece. I added a layer of fun foam behind the velum. Then, I added the blue patterned paper. I played with the edges of the velum to add some more dimension. I adhered the striped paper to a white card base. Lastly, I adhered the stamped panel and additional papers to the card base and the card was done.
Challenges Entered:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Layer It Up
Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #68: Think Spring
Stamps Used: Lawn Fawn's Fairy Friends
Simon Says Stamp's Cuddly Critter Accessories
Dies Used: Lawn Fawn's Large Cross Stitched Rectangle Stackables and Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables
Paper: Patterned Papers from Lawn Fawn and Echo Park
Ink: Versa Fine
Distress Inks in Cracked Pistachio
Hope you enjoyed the card

On July 9, 2012, President Obama signed the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) into law. The new legislation extends through 2017 the FDA's program of charging user fees on drug applications – used to pay the agency's employee salaries – in exchange for a quicker and more transparent product review process.
One of the more significant measures in the new law is the provision that authorizes for the first time the collection of user fees on applications for generic drug and biosimilars. The measure is expected to accelerate the approval process for lower-cost generic drugs, while funding a new approval pathway for biosimilars.
For your reference, here's a roundup of legal advisories on the new law (we will add additional commentary as it comes in):
Congress Passes FDA User Fee Legislation (Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP):
"Among other things, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act created an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are demonstrated to be 'biosimilar' to, or interchangeable with, an FDA-licensed biological product. Through the Biosimilars User Fee Act (BsUFA), FDASIA now authorizes the collection of user fees for biosimilar applications, products, establishments and certain biosimilar product development activities. These fees are set by reference to the fees applicable to prescription drug products, equalizing the expected costs to the innovator biologics and the biosimilars industry." Read on>>
President Obama Signs Bipartisan FDA User Fee Legislation (McDermott Will & Emery):
"In addition to the user fee authorization/reauthorization, the legislation addresses (or requires the FDA to address) a number of hot-button regulatory issues, including the FDA's regulation of internet advertising for regulated products, laboratory-developed tests and mobile medical applications (among many others). However, the legislation's most notable non-user-fee development may be the inability to reach agreement on the implementation of a federal 'track-and-trace' system for drugs. Faced with complex drug pedigree requirements at the state level (e.g., in California), drug manufacturers had hoped that the enactment of a federal standard and track-and-trace system would 'preempt' or uniformly apply instead of many differing state requirements." Read on>>
President Signs Law Reauthorizing Drug and Device User Fees: Legislation Contains Several Important FDA Reforms (Ropes & Gray LLP):
"FDASIA gives FDA 18 months to draft regulations on the standards for admission of imported drugs, requires the Secretary to carry out drug facility inspections according to a risk-based schedule, and allows the Secretary to accept inspections performed by trusted foreign governments when establishing such schedule. It also expressly grants FDA extraterritorial federal jurisdiction for violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act." Read on>>

"Millions of jobs could be created by: drilling for more domestic oil and gas now, which would keep money here that American drivers send to the Middle East; taxing dollar-yuan conversion to offset China's currency market intervention, undervalued currency and 35 percent subsidy on its exports; genuine healthcare reform that lowers drug, insurance and administration costs, and tort burdens, rather than subsidizing a system that costs 50 percent more than private systems in Germany and elsewhere; and replacing the corporate income tax and elements of the personal income and social security tax with a value-added tax.
America has the tools at hand but U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner fails to grasp the gravity of the situation and President Barack Obama isn't ideologically disposed and lacks the stomach to use them. Sadly, we aren't hearing much about those solutions from the cacophony of Republicans seeking the presidency either. Tax cuts and deregulation, vouchers and other Tea Party hobby horses are palliatives, not problem solvers.
Policymakers must address the world as they find it, not as professors and presidents pontificate it should be. America isn't suffering from a poverty of ideas but shortage of leaders with the vision and courage to see what is possible and act."

It's hard to believe that summer is right around the corner! With the weather heating up, we all need to be more conscious about keeping out pets cool. In preparation for the hot summer months, we've provided a short overview of heat stroke. This will prepare you for signs to look for and things you can do to help your pet if you think he/she may be suffering from this condition.
Heat stroke is an acute, progressive, life threatening emergency characterized by a core body temperature of >106*F. It causes multi-organ dysfunction including changes in the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and integumentary systems. Heat stroke can occur quickly and the disease state can progress rapidly. It is extremely important to seek immediate medical care!
Signs to look for:
- Excessive panting, drooling
- Wobbly, drunken, or abnormal gait
- Weakness or collapse
- Bloody or tarry stool
- Depression, decreased responsiveness, seizures
What to do:
- Quickly remove your pet from the environment where the over-heating occurred into a shaded/cool place
- Begin cooling efforts! Place cool wet towels or tap water along the back of the neck, in the armpits, and in the groin region. You may also wet the ear flaps and paws with cool water. Directing a fan over these wetted areas will help to speed evaporative cooling.
- Transport to the closest veterinary facility immediately!
Cooling your pet too aggressively or overcooling can also have significant adverse affects. Below are some guidelines to help prevent overcooling of your pet.
What not to do:
- Do not use cold water, ice, or ice baths for cooling
- Do not attempt to force water into your pet's mouth, but you may have fresh cool water ready to offer should your pet be alert and show an interest in drinking.
- Do not leave your pet unattended
Keeping pets indoors during peak hours is ideal. For pets kept outside, please be sure to provide cool, shaded areas and free access to water at all times. Never, ever leave pets in cars – even if the windows are open, temperatures inside the vehicle can climb rapidly. We hope you and your pets enjoy a safe and happy summer season!

Khartoum received President Kiir of South Sudan with great relief. Even Tayeb Mustafa's al-Intibaha offered the important visitor a welcome note, but made sure its readers received a florid interpretation of President Kiir's salutary bow before the Sudanese flag in Khartoum airport. The more imaginative said a few tears came down his bearded cheek. President Bashir dropped his threat to block South Sudan's oil exports through Sudan and President Kiir promised to halt all support to rebels of the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement in North Sudan (SPLA/M-N) and their allies in the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) including sealing the border to the movement of insurgents. The two presidents effectively avoided discussion of the dispute over Abyei, weary of the Abyei constituencies in their orbit. President Kiir said his government backs the African Union (AU) proposal to hold the Abyei referendum next October while President Bashir affirmed that establishment of the agreed on civilian institutions in Abyei must precede the referendum. The routine positions drew criticism from leaders of both the Ngok Dinka and the Misseriya. That said, the two presidents appeared ready to freeze the situation in Abyei as long as the terms of their tenuous trade-off, continued flow of South Sudan oil in return for South Sudan's commitment to suppress the activities of the SPLA/M-N along the border, were adhered to.
The current thaw of relations between Sudan and South Sudan is also partially a result of the altered domestic political environment in both countries. President Kiir suspended the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) Secretary General and chief negotiator with Sudan, Pagan Amum, arguably the SPLA/M-N's greatest friend in South Sudan, and put him under investigation, and dismissed his minister Deng Alor, the prominent Ngok Dinka politician, on allegations of corruption. In Sudan, appetite for confrontation with South Sudan has become hard to sustain, even with the continued propaganda of al-Intibaha, considering the economic hardships facing the country as a consequence of the loss of oil revenues, and the resistance of business to the government ban on the lucrative cross-border trade with South Sudan. At a grander scale, a delegation of Sudanese businessmen joining the tycoons Usama Dawood Abdul Latif and Jamal al-Wali recently visited Juba to meet President Kiir, and the sidelines of the summit witnessed the signing of a cooperation protocol between Sudan's employers' union and the commerce and labor chamber in South Sudan. The two announced the formation of a joint council and plans for a joint investment bank.
Whether the current improvements in relations between the two Sudans will continue is contingent primarily on the domestic situation in the two countries, namely President Kiir's ability to centralize power and guard it, and President Bashir's ability to quell opposition to his continued rule from outside the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and dissent within it without the need for the shield of a foreign belligerent. The President held a meeting with the National Umma Party (NUP) chief Sadiq al-Mahdi as part of a public relations campaign to popularize the proposal of a national reconciliation, and the press continued to speculate about possible candidates for the new cabinet, from the opposition parties and also the 'reform' protagonists in the NCP, including the former National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) boss Salah Gosh.
Reflecting the changing winds from Juba, the SPLA/M-N declared a month long unilateral ceasefire in solidarity with the victims of the recent heavy rains and floods in the country. The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) dismissed the declaration as a political gesture addressed to the international community but individual lawmakers in Khartoum welcomed it. Significantly, the government and the SPLA/M-N announced their readiness to allow the stalled polio vaccination campaign in rebel-held areas in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile to proceed in October. Details of the temporary ceasefire and the delivery of the vaccines are yet to be agreed upon. The government of South Kordofan offered opposition parties half the positions in the new state cabinet, and declared willingness to re-employs members of the SPLA/M-N dismissed from government service on outbreak of the insurgency in 2011. Judging by the precedent of its dealings with Chad in containing the operations of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in Darfur, Khartoum will probably be inclined to intensify its military campaign against the SPLA/M-N while seeking political accommodation with leaders of the Nuba in South Kordofan, a strategy it has been actively. The As the SPLA/M-N's Yasir Arman spoke of truce, the National Assembly in Khartoum urged leaders of the Popular Defense Forces (PDF) to scale up their recruitment efforts to assist the SAF ahead of the new fighting season. NCP politicians said one other season and it's all over. Well, President Bashir said the same in 2004 as the war in Darfur was just warming up; the officially dated mayhem in Darfur turned ten this year. Khartoum's calculations are clear to read, but it is the response of the SPLA/M-N to the shifting coordinates around it that will determine the future course of the conflict that now threatens to 'Darfurise' the New Sudan.
