I need some assitance with finding a place for my dog. Our leasing center has a no dog policy and somehow they found out about my little girl and now i have to give her up....I'm loosing my mind because that was my number one fear and i know how bad animal shelters can be and i dont want to put her through that she's only 4 months old!!!!! Im at a lost of what to do....i live in baltimore county md btw so if any one knows of some realllyyyy good shelters where she has a high chance of getting adopted can anyone list them here
Re: I NEED OF MAJOR HELP
Read the forum rules. Personal surrenders are not allowed here. Why did you get a dog where they aren't allowed? You are an irresponsible owner. If this were me or anyone else on this forum, we'd be looking for a new place to move ASAP! Our dogs are family, and not disposable.

Re: I NEED OF MAJOR HELP
How can you judge me without knowing the background. Its a personal surrender against my will i dont want to give her up she's like a daughter to me and would do everything i can for her and i am moving but i cant get into the new place until the 15th which is the solution we came up with but we still have nowhere to put her until then. The place where i live said it was pet friendly and the women upstairs had dogs so i was under the impression they allowed dogs until someone told on her.....so there you go maybe im at fault for not fully researching the lease terms of my complex but don't make it seem like im an airhead that just got a dog and wants to give it up

Veterinarians often do boarding. You can also ask friends or family to pet sit temporarily.
If they said they are pet friendly and would allow your dog, then you have a verbal contract. I'd talk to lawyer and potentially take their asses to court. I work for a rescue and a landlord tried to pull that exact thing but our staff had spoken with him. The owners of the dogs won and were able to keep all of their dogs. Be sure to make it a point to get any future pet policies IN WRITING.

Re: Key Tools for social network productivitydanshort Jul 31, 2008 9:53 AM (in response to jpruizs)
Hey Juan
I'd have to say that threaded discussions are proving to be super valuable. These are simple threads (like this one) that allow you to post a question or a piece of information and then capture the ensuing conversation. It is a less formal approach than blogging and more flexible than wikis for capturing the dialog that ensues. We have seen that these discussions are a great way to get people across a company sharing thoughts around things like product ideas, sales strategies, training programs, customer stories -- or the always popular "best places to eat lunch" .
Re: Key Tools for social network productivitystoay Jul 31, 2008 12:34 PM (in response to jpruizs)
In my experience rank and file users hate threaded discussion forums as the lived for years before blogs and wikis. They live for way too long and the embedded threading upon embedded threading in most of them lead to long chains of rambling side discussions that don't answer the original question. The simpler ones (that have mechanisms to keep the conversation on topic) seem to work much better.

Hey Spencer - what have you seen that works more effectively for informal discussions?
Re: Key Tools for social network productivityhollisc Jul 31, 2008 7:25 PM (in response to jpruizs)
Well, when we answered that question for ourselves about a year ago, it led us right to Clearspace ;-)
If you look for the article "Why We Chose Clearspace" in my blog (chucksblog.typepad.com/a_journey_in_social_media) there's a long list of things we looked at.
A year later, there's only a few things we really want to have, but can't quite get yet.
- It'd be great to have a hi-def interface into the email world. Jive is offering a plugin that does a few things, but comes up short in a few critical areas, and I'm loathe to code my own.
- I'm going to need to start thinking about mobile users -- and soon!
- integration with our enterprise content management environment (Documentum)
- structured wikis for advanced document collaboration.
Other than that, we were very happy with our choice, and remain so to this day.
Re: Key Tools for social network productivitychristopher Aug 1, 2008 8:27 AM (in response to jpruizs)
I have a question for you around mobile. I've started having conversations with a lot of vendors/shops out there who provide mobile apps both on the iPhone and on RIM (Blackberry). As you can imagine they really run the spetrum in terms of how they approach solutions. I'm curious from your point of view (and anyone else reading this who is interested in mobile) what the most important things you would want to be able to do on a mobile Clearspace app? I want Jive to resist the temptation to simply create a big screen interface on a tiny screen. Any feedback or thoughts would be really helpful.
Re: Key Tools for social network productivitychrisholmes Aug 1, 2008 1:40 PM (in response to jpruizs)
I like threaded discussions. They are a very good form of collaboration and I personally prefer the "threaded" view over the flat as it is significantly easier to track conversations and replies (especially the style that Clearspace has enabled threads to appear).
There are some other tools I would have to say are forms of "discussions" that are very, very intriguing popping up:
Are two very focused, yet interesting sites. As a matter of fact the other day I googled "What is the meaning of the lyrics to Viva La Vida?" and the first record in the returned result went here:
I found this fascinating and started asking other ridiculous questions. It is fascinating to be able to choose an answer as "best" and see the other answers. I find it all interesting that they added elements from other key Web 2.0 tools such as blogging comments on each answer and question.

One of the most useful tools in social software behind the firewall, particularly in a geographically-dispersed and/or reasonably large organisation, is profiles ... being able to find people in the company who have the ability to fix a problem/pass on some information, or just to improve sociability among employees, is a huge thing.
Re: Key Tools for social network productivitystoay Aug 22, 2008 12:51 PM (in response to jpruizs)
Sorry for the delayed reposnes, Dan. I've been away on holiday.
Yes, I have seen a couple of models that seem to be very effective for encouraging informal discussion (othan than the free consumer social network options like Ning):
The first is the SiteLife suite from Pluck. This seems to be a great solution for customer social networks and marketing purposes.
The second is a product from Sabre called Cubeless, which is for internal coroprate social networking. It is incredibly intuitive and user friendly and they seem to have built in mechanisms that make infomation actionable, which seems to make sense in a corporate deployment. This seems to be a model that would be attractive to a diverse set of employees regardless of how "tech-savvy" they are.

Overwhelmed at times by the Atlanta Falcons' speed and blitz packages a week ago, the Ravens' offensive line is about to encounter a new challenge Friday night.
The Detroit Lions' front seven is headlined by Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and swift defensive end Cliff Avril.
Suh is one of the most aggressive interior linemen in the game, playing with a rough style that got him in trouble last season when he was suspended for two games without pay for stomping on a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman.
The majority of the Ravens' troubles against Atlanta were with the interior offensive line as rookie center Gino Gradkowski and left guard Bobbie Williams struggled to react to inside pressure.
Avril is slated to play in his first game since signing his $10.6 million franchise tender after missing the first 10 days of training camp.
Avril's game is based on fast upfield moves and an ability to redirect his pass rushing repertoire. He led the Lions with 11 sacks and six forced fumbles last season.
Avril normally plays left defensive end, which would pit him against rookie offensive tackle Kelechi Osemele.
Lions starting right defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch is expected to miss his seond game in a row, but Willie Young had a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery last week against the Cleveland Browns.
"Yeah, great test," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "This front line is so physical. They are so deep. They are so talented and, really, their whole football team is when you look at them. They are just a real physical, talented football team.
"It's going to be a big challenge for us. I'm pretty sure, knowing that team's personality, they are going to come in here and make a statement even though it's preseason. I'm sure they'll still be trying to make their statement, and our guys will understand that."
Translation: The offensive line, which should have better communication with six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk expected to make his preseason debut after sitting out last week with back issues, needs to match the Lions' power and toughness.

3 doctors operating Boca Raton pain clinic without license arrested
Officials say a 4th doctor remains at-large
PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says three doctors have been arrested and another is at large after allegedly operating a Boca Raton pain clinic without a license.
According to a sheriff's office report, an investigation began after the Florida Department of Health received complaints that Henry J. Battagliola, Mark Cukierman, Kyin S. Ho and Edward Jose Mila Prats were allegedly operating the clinic without a license.
The clinic's license was revoked in 2010, but the investigation revealed that the doctors allegedly continued to provide prescription pain medication.
Officials said medical and medical business related documents for Boca East Pain Management were obtained throughout the investigation, which Battagliola owned.
Battagliola, Cukierman and Ho were arrested by authorities Thursday afternoon. Officials said Prats is still at large and has an active warrant out for his arrest.
The Palm Beach County Multi-Agency Diversion Task Force includes the county's sheriff's office, state attorney's office, police department and other agencies throughout the country.

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, Scotland Yard has said.
The arrests were part of a "pre-planned, intelligence-led" operation by the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism command.
The men, aged 21, 23, 24, 30 and 35, were all arrested at separate homes in Luton and have been taken to a central London police station for questioning. Searches under the Terrorism Act 2000 are taking place at all five of the addresses and inquiries are ongoing, Scotland Yard said.
A spokesman said: "Officers from the counter-terrorism command have today, Tuesday April 24, arrested five men on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
"All five were arrested at separate residential addresses in Luton. They have been taken to a central London police station where they remain in custody.
"The arrests were a part of a pre-planned, intelligence-led operation. Search warrants were also executed under the Terrorism Act 2000 at five residential addresses in Luton in connection with this inquiry and searches are ongoing."
Officers stood guard outside an address on Bishopscote Road as police examined the inside of a semi-detached home. Others living on the same street spoke of their shock and described their neighbours as "friendly" people.
Self-employed Mohammed Iqbal, who did not give his age, said he believed the man arrested on Bishopscote Road lived with his family.
"I see him passing by sometimes," he said. "I don't know him but he seems friendly. I think his family are all grown-up."
Another neighbour living next door, who would not give her name, added: "They are very nice. They have been very good neighbours."

Standardized estimates of residual co...
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Laura Stapleton
posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2007 - 1:57 pm
I'm sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I am confused as to how standardized residual covariances in a CFA are calculated in Mplus. In a particular analysis that I have, while unstandardized estimates are similar across EQS and Mplus (.260 and .255 respectively), the standardized values (StdYX in Mplus) are not (.609 vs. .254).
It appears to me that the StdYX values in Mplus are standardized based on the variability of the manifest indicator variables and not based on the variability of the estimated residuals. So, the Mplus estimate indicates that Y1 and Y2 are correlated .254 though the relation of the two residuals. Is this correct? Is there a way to obtain the standardized estimate based on the residual variability (as in EQS)? (Other than my manual estimation of dividing .255 by the estimated standard deviations of residuals for Y1 and Y2?)
If there is an argument that the Mplus estimates are to be preferred, is there some citation that I may refer to in order to please a reviewer?
Thank you.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2007 - 4:14 pm
Mplus gives estimates standardized by the estimated variances of the observed variables and the factors. So with residuals for the CFA indicators you standardize using the estimated variances of the observed indicators. This is different than getting a residual covariance standardized by the estimated variances for the residuals - which gives a residual correlation. I assume EQS does the latter. Mplus does not provide this, but we have thought of adding it. The two approaches answer different questions. The Mplus approach answers the question of how large portion of the observed indicator correlation is due to the residuals covarying.
Laura Stapleton
posted on Wednesday, January 10, 2007 - 6:41 am
Thanks! I will just calculate and report the residual correlation. The folks at Psych Assessment were (strongly) not supportive of reporting the observed indicator correlation through residuals. I encourage you to add the residual correlation to the Mplus output. I worry that many users probably assume that the StdYX column provides the residual correlation.
I hope that all is going well!
Andrea Hildebrandt
posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 12:57 pm
I have the same concern like Laura. I�d like to report correlations between the residuals of three latent factors after a fourth factor has been partialed out from their structure. In the standardized output (StdYX) Mplus provides standardizes residual covariances for the parameter I am interested in (so relation between residuals) � their standardization is based on the variability of the manifest indicator variables - like you say above.
If I calculate MANUALLY the standardized value based on the estimated residual variability by dividing the unstandardized parameter estimate for the respective relation by the root squares of the estimated variances of those residuals taken from the output of UNSTANDARDIZED parameters, I am wondering to get the same value provided by Mplus in the StdYX output. Am I doing something wrong? I am using WLSMV for fit the model.
Many thanks!
Andrea Hildebrandt
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 - 7:55 pm
Different from those 2007 postings, the current Mplus version reports the correlation between residuals in the standardized output as you describe it. So the manifest variable variances are not involved in this.

Friday, October 06, 2006
By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
After three games, rookie Santonio Holmes has five catches for 45 yards. Numbers that seem modest, if not meager, for a No. 1 draft choice, especially the first wide receiver selected in the National Football League draft.
Holmes' production, though, is not uncommon for a rookie receiver in the NFL.
Even if he continues at that pace, Holmes would finish the season with 26 catches and 240 yards, which would amount to more catches than Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Plaxico Burress and Hines Ward had in their rookie seasons with the Steelers. And nearly as many catches as Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson had in their rookie seasons.
Even if he continues at that pace, Holmes would finish the season with 26 catches and 240 yards, which would amount to more catches than Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Plaxico Burress and Hines Ward had in their rookie seasons with the Steelers. And nearly as many catches as Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson had in their rookie seasons.
Few rookie receivers burst into the league like Randy Moss, who had 1,313 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns as a rookie with the Minnesota Vikings in 1998. There are many more like Ward, who had 15 catches as a rookie, and Carolina's Steve Smith, who has 191 catches and 19 touchdowns in his past two full seasons with the Carolina Panthers after catching 10 passes as a rookie.
"It's hard to come in and learn on the run, to see coverages while you're running," Ward said. "You're doing a lot of thinking and. when you're doing a lot of thinking, you're not running as fast. You're really not sure of your routes."
That's why Holmes, the team's fourth receiver, is not worried how many catches he has with the Steelers (1-2), who will try to re-invent their passing game Sunday night against the San Diego Chargers (2-1). Nor are the coaches trying to force-feed him to an offense that has received minimal production from its wide receivers after three games.
"It's just the speed of the game, learning at the same time you're trying to run on the fly," Holmes said. "But I feel pretty comfortable overall. Right now, I'm above 60 percent overall where I feel comfortable running routes at a fast pace."
The player who holds the Steelers' record for rookie receptions -- Troy Edwards -- has had a career that spiraled in the opposite direction after his rookie season.
The 13th player selected overall in 1999, Edwards had a club-record 61 catches as a rookie, a number that far exceeds the rookie production of other more famous Steelers' receivers such as Swann (11), Stallworth (16), Burress (22) Ron Shanklin (30) and Louis Lipps (45).
Since 1999, only two rookie wide receivers in the NFL have managed more catches in their first season than Edwards -- Arizona's Anquan Boldin (101) and Houston's Andre Johnson (66), each in 2003. Players such as Owens (35) and Johnson (28) did not have nearly as many as Edwards had as a rookie.
But those players elevated their production by their second season, once they became comfortable with their assignments and had a better understanding of opposing defenses. Ward had 46 more catches in his second season; Smith had 44 more and Johnson 41. None, though, made as dramatic a leap as Isaac Bruce, who had 21 catches as a rookie in 1994 and 119 in his second season.
Edwards has gone the other way. His only other productive season was 2004, when he caught 50 passes in 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In six NFL seasons, he has 203 receptions and bounced around to four teams.
"It has something to do with the complexity of the offenses and maybe, more importantly, the defenses," said former Buffalo Bills president Tom Donahoe, who was the Steelers' director of football operations when they drafted Edwards. "The coverages they see up here compared to college and, really, the quality of the defensive backs ... if you have a good receiver in college you can usually create a mismatch and get that receiver on somebody not good enough to cover him. It's hard to do [that] in the NFL."
"Because of the different coverages you see, especially because of the talent of the guys who cover them, you have a lot of adjustments you have to make as a receiver," said offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, a former NFL tight end. "It's almost like a learning curve for a quarterback -- you have to see things and learn from them because there's a lot of information you're trying to digest as you're on the move. It's tough."
Because receivers are thinking and not running at full speed, that hinders their ability to be in the proper spot on timing routes. And quarterbacks often throw to spots, based on the timing of the route.
Cedrick Wilson said the same thing happened to him last season in his first year with the Steelers, even though he had spent the four previous years in the league. He was learning a new offense, new terminology, and some of the indecision caused him to not play as fast and not be in the proper spot on pass routes.
Wilson's production increased as he became more comfortable with his assignments. After catching nine passes for 161 yards in the first eight games, he had 17 catches for 290 yards in the next seven. In the postseason, he caught nine passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns.
"When you know it, you play fast," Wilson said. "But, when you're thinking, it's kind of hard to play fast."

I've decided to take a little break from blogging (read more about the reasons why), but wanted to continue to provide interesting and insightful content on my blog in the meantime. I asked for help and my tribe answered my call, so for a while I will have guest posts from various bloggers interspersed with posts by me when I am moved to write. Thank you for your understanding. — Amy (CDG)
Today's guest post comes from Amy who blogs at An Aussie Mum's Guide to Eco Friendly Babies.
Plastic Wrapped Bananas. Yes, I'm Serious!
Despite so many people attempting to make a difference for the better, some companies have other ideas. Del Monte have bought out a range of plastic wrapped bananas — to save the environment. Say what? Yes, they claim that the plastic wrapping on the bananas in plastic is "...Designed to provide significant carbon footprint savings by reducing the frequency of deliveries and the amount of waste going to landfill. The packaging is also recyclable."
Looking at the company website suggests the packaged bananas are going into vending machines and convenience stores and will potentially make it easier for people to grab a healthy snack on the go. Surely, there is a better option than non-biodegradable plastic? Even here is Australia, where life is a little slower and so much of the land is still pristine, we are succumbing to the mantra of 'buy, use, discard'. You can buy 'healthy' apple slices from McDonalds- packaged in plastic and dipped in some foul tasting substance to stop browning. Wouldn't it be cheaper (and eco-friendlier) just to use a whole, unpackaged, untreated apple? There is also the prevalence of cut and packaged vegetables in the supermarkets- celery, carrots, gourmet tomatoes, Asian vegetable mixes and pre-made salads. Are people so inept in the kitchen these days they can't slice celery? Is there some sort of social benefit to saying "Look, these are upper-class Tomatoes- they come in a packet!"
It's not just food. If you buy a toaster, you get a whole bunch of Styrofoam, plastic, tie-wires, bubble wrap, warranty cards, brochures for other products (want to buy a coffee machine with that toaster?) and instructions that are 18 pages long because they are in 7 different languages. Retailers receive deliveries that are in boxes three times the needed size and packed with plastic and puffed rice, and usually yet another copy of this months deals (you know, the ones that were sent in the mail, and with the last four orders). The bank who offers e-statements to save paper sends you a quarterly offer for insurance that you already have. In a world where email is so quick and easy, where technology is so advanced, why can't we start using it for something good? We could email statements, bills, special offers and all the other rubbish that comes through the mail. We can come up with biodegradable, renewal, ecologically sound packaging, or just use some sense and pack smaller and transport less.
Can a single person make a difference? I like to believe so. We can email companies like Del Monte, asking them to come up with a better solution. We can tell suppliers that unless they pack smarter, we will no longer buy from them. We can pressure our schools and encourage our workplaces to adopt 'nude food' policies. We can slice our own celery and not buy food with unnecessary wrapping, packagings and labels. We can reduce, reuse, recycle and above all, teach our kids to do the same. After all, it may be one of our kids who eventually heads up a company like Del Monte and finally makes a change… for the better.

The new if somewhat vague commitment came Wednesday at the conclusion of a meeting in Charlottetown between most of the premiers and five aboriginal leaders.
The group's plan for a roundtable discussion did not come with any details of when it would happen or how it would work. It is also unclear if Ottawa is interested.
P.E.I. Premier Robert Ghiz, the host of the meeting, said while the proposal is in its preliminary stages, it is important to compromise and have some form of dialogue.
"If we know we're not going to get somewhere, there's no point in us putting our head in the sand and saying, 'OK, we're done with it,' " Ghiz said.
But he said one thing is certain: federal participation is essential.
"We believe that any dialogue, any collaboration on this subject is extremely important," Ghiz said, adding that the roundtable idea is a good first step before an inquiry is held.
The native leaders and premiers also renewed their demand for a federal inquiry, a request the group first made more than a year ago.
Ghislain Picard, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said the progress made by the group was marred by the lack of federal participation.
He said it was ironic that 150 years after politicians from the Maritimes and Canadian provinces gathered in Charlottetown to discuss Confederation, the federal government wasn't at the table when the First Nations came to town.
"I certainly view that as disrespectful in terms of the issues before us," Picard told a news conference.
"The same question has been at the table for the past few years: Where is the federal government? Where is the other partner? Every issue on the table calls for input from the government of Canada."
Justice Minister Peter MacKay's office issued a statement that didn't directly address the call for a roundtable but reiterated the federal government's position on the push for an inquiry.
"What is clear is that continued action and sustained effort and investment is required," the statement said.
"Now is the time to take action, not to continue to study the issue."
Ghiz, the longest-serving premier at the conference, described the issue of missing and murdered aboriginal women as a "black eye" for Canada.
Michele Audette, president of the Native Women's Association of Canada, said she was pleased with the meeting, adding that it's important for the federal government to realize that the group's call for a national inquiry has not gone away.
"The support is still there — even more so," said Audette, who plans to seek the Liberal nomination for the Quebec riding of Manicouagan before the federal election next year.
Prior to the meeting, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said he still supported the idea of a inquiry, but he also said a federal-provincial roundtable would be a good way to spur some action.
"I think what we can achieve as premiers and as a country, if the federal government would engage, is an event and an exchange of best practices that's informed by action," Wall said.
Wall said the provinces have already set up something similar for health-care innovation.
He said there have been 29 studies and reports on aboriginal issues since 1996 that have produced more than 500 recommendations and the forum could look at what action has been taken on those ideas.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said an inquiry of some sort was needed and she agreed that federal involvement was a must.
"Having a public inquiry is a good way of getting at some of the issues that are of huge concern to all of us," she said.
Ghiz went further, saying before the meeting that Harper is obligated under the Constitution to respond.
"If ... the prime minister is not going to change his mind, the only other way to get (an inquiry) is to have a new prime minister."
The demand for federal action comes less than two weeks after the body of a 15-year-old aboriginal girl was found in the Red River in Winnipeg.
Native leaders have said Tina Fontaine's death, considered a homicide by police, has highlighted the need for an inquiry.
In May, the RCMP released a study of 1,181 cases involving aboriginal women since 1980. The study found aboriginal women made up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population, but accounted for 16 per cent of female homicides and 11.3 per cent of missing women.
The federal government has said it has taken action to deal with the problem, including setting up a national DNA missing person's index and introducing 30 justice and safety initiatives aimed at helping native women.
Harper has said most cases like Fontaine's should be handled by the police, adding that it would be a mistake to consider the crime part of a "sociological phenomenon.''
In Ottawa, Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair said Wednesday an NDP government would launch a full public inquiry within 100 days of taking office after consulting with women and First Nations about its parameters.
Mulcair said only an inquiry can get at the systemic problems reflected in the murder rate among aboriginal women.
The federal Liberals have also promised to establish an inquiry.

U.S. may sedate Afghan detainees during flights
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The transport of al Qaeda and Taliban detainees is considered so dangerous that the Pentagon is considering administering Valium to them to keep them sedated during the 15-hour flight from Kandahar to the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Officials emphasize that no final decision has been made on using the drug but that the idea of sedating the detainees for the trip from Afghanistan remains under consideration.
Pentagon officials said U.S. Air Force crews that will provide security for the transfer flights have received special training at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey.
Officials said a number of other measures are being taken to ensure the prisoners are kept under control during the flights, including using secure enclosures on the planes to confine the prisoners.
The total number of detainees being kept at the Kandahar air field swelled to 351 with the addition of 45 on Wednesday night. The detainees are to travel in groups of 15 to 20.
The detainees are being treated as though they were "prisoners of war" but they have not been declared as such formally under the Geneva Convention.
As "detainees," they could be held in some "indeterminate" status for a period of time. They will be interrogated but no decisions have been made about which individuals will be sent to military tribunal and how those tribunals will be held.
The flights taking the detainees from Afghanistan to Guantanamo won't be nonstop, military sources said Wednesday, because the air field at Kandahar where the detainees are being kept cannot handle a big Air Force transport.
The plane selected for the main part of the mission is the aging C-141, an aircraft with intercontinental range. However, it is not able to land at Kandahar because the field is too rough.
Instead, another plane -- probably the smaller C-17, with its short landing and takeoff characteristics -- would be the likely choice for the first hop out of Afghanistan. The four-engine C-17 jet can land on a runway only 3,000 feet long and 90 feet wide, according to a document from the Department of Defense.
The detainees would be flown initially to an undisclosed secure location. The prisoners would then be transferred to specially outfitted C-141s for the final leg to Guantanamo, where they will be held in a new detention facility to be overseen by the U.S. Southern Command.
Military officials will not disclose the actual route of the flight as a precaution.
The flights could begin as soon as this week, officials have said.
-- CNN Pentagon Correspondents Jeff Levine and Barbara Starr and CNN Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie McIntyre contributed to this story.

Can team chemistry be created?
The Upper St. Clair Boys Varsity team won the Pennsylvania AAA state championship in November, and their midfielder Robbie Mertz, my nephew, insists that team chemistry - not talent, not tactics - was the most important factor in their success.
I asked Robbie how championship chemistry was created on his team, and he gave me three ways:
1. Common Experience: He talked about the fact that a number of the USC players have played together since age 3, way back in an indoor winter league at the local YMCA. That common bond was strengthened over 13 years of car pools, practices, tournaments, travel and motel stays.
2. Pre-Season Preparation: He pointed to USC's pre-season camp in August where the team traveled three hours to Gettysburg, PA, trained, scrimmaged, and bonded as a team, away from home and, importantly, away from parents. What happens in Gettysburg stays in Gettysburg.
3. Respect: And - coaches take particular note - he stressed that USC's varsity upperclassmen showed authentic respect to the underclassmen, assimilating them into all aspects of the team experience, starting back in pre-season. Juniors and Seniors freely distributed the ball to Freshmen and Sophomores during matches with a notable lack of ego. In Robbie's opinion that selflessness built real equity and confidence among the underclassmen, and was foundational to team chemistry.
As a coach, I have always maintained that team chemistry results from winning. But my nephew suggests that winning results from team chemistry.
What do you think? Can you create better chemistry on your team?

- Your task is to build any non-Star Wars, licensed podracer. Take any of LEGO's official licensed lines past, present and future and build a podracer. Imagine what a Buzz Lightyear Star Command Podracer would look like. Or a Batpodracer. How about a Winnie the Pooh Honey Potracer? You get the idea yet? The only exception to the licensed line rule is, of course, Power Miners. Power Miners podracers will be accepted. No Star Wars podracers; you will be turned away at the gate.
- Here is a list of allowable themes:
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Deutsch Telecom
Dora The Explorer
Harry Potter
Indiana Jones
Mickey Mouse
Pirates of the Caribbean
Power Miners
Prince of Persia
Speed Racer
Spongebob Squarepants
Thomas The Tank Engine
Toy Story
Winnie The Pooh
- All podracers must conform to the Boonta Eve Classic Rules and Regulations Handbook governing podracer design. After Ben Quadinaros's quad engine disaster, a podracer is defined as having twin engines held together by energy bindings towing a cockpit pod behind them, with a single pilot. No passengers, prisoners, muses, navigational droids, or any other sentient being.
- The Handbook also dictates that only real life LEGO elements are approved for construction. Altered LEGO elements will not be allowed. Virtual models or clone brands will not be allowed.
- Podracer must be in minifigure scale.
- Submit only new racers. No recycling of past projects.
- One entry per person.
- You may not change, alter, improve, recolor or otherwise modify your podracer after it's been submitted.
- You must embed one to two picture(s) of your podracer in a reply post to this thread.
- One of your two photos must be an 3/4 isometric point of view. Check out the contest banner of Ryan's Power Miners-themed podracer as an example of the point of view. Cockpit pod in the back/left, engines in the front right.
- Pilot must be seated in the cockpit pod and visible in at least one of the two photos submitted.
- Your pictures must be hosted by flickr. We use flickr's built-in image resizing feature and use the small sized picture for the voting polls.
- The only image editing allowed is the removal of backgrounds and adding energy binders to the twin engines. Your photos cannot be altered in any other way. No composite views, no added text, no additional graphics or enhancements. This enables us to composite all the podracers into one race picture later.
- You have until 11:59pm PST March 31, 2011 to get your entry in.
- We will be VERY STRICT when it comes to submissions. Any entry not following the above guidelines will be automatically disqualified.
- You may submit as many photos as you wish to the FBTB: flickr Outpost. Please tag your photos with the phrase "2011 Podracer Challenge".
- We're going to try something radically different with this contest. Rather than going with the standard poll for every round, we're going to use random events determined by chance. So bear with me while I try to explain things as best I can.
- Just like Qui-Gon said about podracing: "Very fast. Very dangerous... You must have Jedi reflexes if you race Pods." You could get hit by Tusken sniper fire, or have a wrench thrown into one of your engine intakes. On the flip side you could use your nitrous oxide to boost you into the lead. How does this work into the contest? The race will consist of a qualifying lap time poll and a series of events that will either help or hinder your race efforts.
- During the build phase of the competition, we will post a special good luck events poll from March 7th to 13th and from March 14th through 20th there will be a poll for the bad luck events. We'll be taking the top 42 events from each poll and use Watto's Chance Cube to determine which kind of event each podracer receives in each of the three race laps. More on this in a bit.
- At the end of the build phase, all podracers deemed fit for podracing will be thrown into a giant pool. There will only be one round of voting, the "qualifying lap", to determine the starting position of all podracers. The number of votes that each podracer receives is their initial point seed and also determines the race order from most number of points to least. Top 24 lap times qualify and will advance to the race.
- The podracer at the pole position, the one that received the most number of votes, will be crowned Fan Favorite and take home the Fan Favorite Prize Package.
- The race is run in three laps. At the end of each lap, an event will trigger for each podracer. By way of webcam, we'll be holding a special online broadcast of the events. Ryan will roll Watto's Chance Cube, a LEGO Games die with 3 blue sides and 3 red sides, and draw a corresponding card for the color that comes up for each podracer in race order. Blue for good luck events. Red for bad luck events. We'll do this for each round of events. Each event will have a point modifier to be added or subtracted to a racers point total. Each lap will see the field cut in half: 12 for the first lap, 6 for the second lap, and the final lap to determine the winner. Podracers with the lowest points at the end of each round of events will be eliminated from the race by way of sniper fire, sabotage, or freak accidents.
- The podracer to finish in first place after three laps will be crowned Race Champion and take home the Race Champion Prize Package.
- Two prizes will be awarded: The Fan Favorite Prize Package and The Race Champion Prize Package
- The Fan Favorite will be determined by the podracer to finish in first place in the qualifying round.
- The Fan Favorite will receive a special, one-of-a-kind, personalized LEGO Trophy commemorating their victory, 1 copy of 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracer, 1 MISB copy of 4485 MINI Sebulba's Podracer & Anakin's Podracer, and 1 copy of 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator
- The Race Champion will be the surviving podracer to finish in first place determined by the overall point total.
- The Race Champion will receive a special, one-of-a-kind, personalized LEGO Trophy commemorating their victory, 1 copy of 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracer, and 1 MISB copy of 4485 MINI Sebulba's Podracer & Anakin's Podracer.
- Since portions of the prize packages will not be available at the time of the close of the contest, they will be sent as soon as humanly possible.
- In the unlikely event that the same podracer wins both the Fan Favorite and Race Winner prizes, he/she will have to forfeit their Race Champion Prize Package to the runner up in the race determined by the overall point total.

Do you think you can't serve God?
The next time you feel like you can't serve GOD, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Mary Magdalene was...
The Samaritan woman was
divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer..AND
Lazarus was dead!
Now! No more excuses! God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger. And one more thing...Share this with a friend or two... In the Circle of God's love, God's waiting to use your full potential.
1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's Me.
3. Growing old is inevitable ... growing UP is optional.
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
6. Do the math .. count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray . If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13 When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15 He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and he can certainly use you!

Well, after yet another close call, I am even more sure of being able to trust God. This was a faith building experience. God is watching over us. This can not all be coincidence that people are killed just steps away from him, and he could have been killed.Today, he was walking downtown, and the army was stopping cars and asking questions, and in 1 car, the driver took off running in my hubby's direction. The army shot the man, and the bullet went through the man into another man pulling a cart on wheels, and killed him too! My husband's face and clothes were covered with his blood and flesh and bone fragments. If that army man would have shot a second sooner, the bullet would have gone through that man and hit my husband instead! This is the second time that it was that close, but he has had other close calls too.I just want him HERE and out of the cold and the war and the danger, because that country will get even more messed up since the elections 2 days ago. In Pakistan they use both a President and a Prime Minister, who work together. Butte's husband is the one who was voted in, and he and Musharaff can NOT work together , so I think Bhutto's husband will probably be assassinated upon the command of Musharaff.I asked hubby if he was still shaking, and he said actually he felt fine! WOW! That guy has nerves of steel! Maybe he won't have post traumatic stress disorder as much as I thought; since he can go through that and feel fine.For 3 years I feared making him unhappy because of my illness, but after what he has been through, he will be happy to be out of there, even if I am sick. Like he and my first husband both said, "There are worse qualities a wife can have than illness. I would rather have a sick wife than a mean or cheating or over-spending wife."{Thankyou Lord, for protecting my husband, and for all the many blessings you give us, even those we are not aware of.}I've got skin hunger, like babies get when their mothers don't hold them. I am affectionate and really need my hubby, even if just to hold hands and hold each other...but the rest of the marital relationship is VERY nice, too. lol. *blush* I think women crave affection, skin, and holding more than they crave sex, and men crave sex...period! lol.This is strange. I HATE GUNS with a passion, yet after I had fallen in love with my first husband, so deep I didn't want to get out, I found out that he and his father are gunsmiths. I was really upset.I also hate politics. Politicians are SO corrupt, yet it happened again. When I fell in love so much with this husband that I couldn't leave him, I found out he has a master's degree in political science! He loves to study and talk politics. Me, not so much.Oh well, each husband could have had worse qualities. I have been blessed with good men as husbands. I think my last husband just had a nervous breakdown due to the constant crisises that come into my life. I fear this husband will have the same thing happen to him, but this husband seems much stronger emotionally, and has faith that carries him through the hard times, unlike my first husband.A few words aboutTHE GRATITUDE ATTITUDE:I strongly believe that the more you thank God, the more blessings He will WANT to give you, because there are so few people that ever thank Him for anything. The scriptures say it is his PLEASURE to bless those who love Him, and I find that I am almost pampered by Him because of my gratefulness. I don't always get the things I want or need, but when I pray for something and the answer is "no", I know God has good reason for it. Often I will be thinking of an item I would really like but can't afford, and I will find the perfect size, color, and it's on sale for a price I can afford, almost as if that was dropped out of heaven for me, soon after I thought about wanting it. So he does know our wants and needs and fears and troubles, and wants to help. We just need to practice to feel the Holy Spirit to guide us; to listen to that still, small voice within, and he will comfort us. It does take practice.Ok I am babbling again. Enough for now.Blessings to you all, my dear computer friends!Bluebirdy

Bodies Gone Haywire in a World out of Balance and the Cutting Edge Science that Promises Hope"
(Simon and Schuster/Touchstone
23.5 million -- that's one in twelve -- Americans suffer from autoimmune disease, making it more prevalent than cancer or even heart disease.
Multiple sclerosis, lupus, Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, FM, CFS, and nearly a hundred other chronic autoimmune illnesses are part of this devastating epidemic, in which the human body, acting on misread signals, literally begins to destroy itself. Alarmingly, the occurrence of many of these diseases has more than doubled in the last three decades, signaling a disturbing trend that can be directly tied to environmental factors in everyday modern lifeincluding our daily exposure to a dizzying array of toxic chemicals.
Only exceptional people get lupus or fibro. Average people could not handle it.

Re: Shakey day-severe pain, nearly became a widow.
This entry might seem a bit long, but it is worth the read. Many adventures today.IT IS AMAZING WHAT AN UN-BORING LIFE I LEAD FROM MY BED!!!1) My husband was very close to being bombed by a suicide bomber2) I explain a condition I have never told you about that I have, referred to as "the suicide disease" because it is the most painful condition known to man.3) I introduce you to my mentally ill brother who is doing miraculously considering his burden.4) It was my birthday!5) I expand on the above statements in a way that will teach you and touch you and make you think.I am so amazed at the adventures I live even from my bed. I have adventures with friends worldwide through this little box that links me to the whole world. I am always thanking Heavenly Father for letting me live in the time of internet.ADVENTURES FROM BED:When I tell others that I work from bed, their first thought is pretty funny...that I am a "lady of the evening". How else could a person earn money from bed, right? But working on the internet has been my joy and I am blessed to be able to do it.This poor old computer is running on a prayer and I pray over it like I would a friend, because it is my only link to the outside world, to my husband and to my income.A few days ago it was my birthday. Just think. I am older now than I have ever been in my life. Wow, that makes me old! ROFL. (But then you are older today than you have ever been, too!)I had visitors and calls and gifts all day! I was overcome with joy! I guess since Dad's funeral, people have started to remember us again, which is WONDERFUL! My thoughtful, giving brother bought me an angel food cake, my regular birthday cake, and it is such a joy to me. I use a different topping each year, and occasionally make it into a chocolate angel food cake. You just add 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of baking cocoa to the mix.By 4:00 I was in so much pain that Mom had to entertain the last 2 guests that came to wish me well. What a wonderful day, so different from my 10 years of aloneness in this house.I was given a HUGE rose by my sister. The stem was as thick as my baby finger. The rose was orange, pink and yellow, and it is as fresh today as when she came a week ago from 5 hours away.Another friend brought a beautiful hyacinth plant. I set them side by side on the dining room table, and the next day, all the white blossoms on the hyacinth were brown and dead! I could not figure out what I did wrong! I am not good with plants, but this was illogical! I searched a bit online, and found out that roses give off ethylene gas to blossoms next to them, to kill them, so that the rose will get all the sunshine and food from the soil instead of the flower next to it. It's a parasite plant! So I gently pulled off the brown blossoms and placed the plant in another area and will try to nurse it back to health.Having a tough day. I am shaking with both fear and gratitude to our loving Lord. I was awoken by a phone call from my husband telling me that soon I would hear on the news of a horrid suicide bombing near his house that blew all the outside windows out of homes for half a mile around, that killed 37 and injured 90. He was calling to tell me that he was fine, because he knew I would worry, and worry worsens my pain. In 2 days Pakistan has its election, and few will go out into the streets because of the danger. Most of those who were killed were of the opposition party (opposing Musharraf). The Taliban and Al-Qaeda do not only terrorize non-Muslims, they even terrorize their own people.The houses there are as ancient as the land is. It reminds me of pictures of how Jesus lived thousands of years ago. Each house has 4 walls that are wide enough to hold rooms, then an open center courtyard. There are windows facing the courtyard, but very rarely are there windows facing the street or back.There is usually neighbors' homes on each of the side walls. There is a staircase on the outside and on the inside to go up to the roof.When I saw pictures of these houses, I finally understood the story in the Bible of Jesus speaking in a friend's home, and that people gathered in the courtyard and on the roof to listen, and now I can see how they lowered a man on a stretcher with ropes into the house. They lowered him from the roof into the courtyard for Jesus to heal. My husband's house does have a window in the front so they can see who is at the front door. It was blown out. There are other families who came to stay in the house my husband is at because their house was very near the voting location. THANKYOU LORD FOR SPARING MY HUSBAND AGAIN! I hope you are sparing him so that he can come home to me before I pass away.My husband is acting like Dr. to them. He is often called upon to measure blood pressure or blood sugar or temperature or to give injections, because those things cost a lot of money if you go to a clinic to get them done. My husband was a pharmacist and pre-med student and owned his own pharmacy, which he turned over to his brother before choosing a new occupation of translations. His translations are to help the cause against terrorists, through the UK government.Most of the people who came to his home have pain in their ears and head from the percussion of air and the noise, and their ears are ringing so loudly that they probably sustained some hearing damage. They also can't stay in a house overnight if the windows are out of it, its too cold and looters could enter, so they are staying with my husband overnight at least. One man had bleeding from an ear, so I guess it broke his eardrum.Nothing over there is prescription, so he can go to the market and get medicines to help calm the people down, or antibiotics, or pain medicine. He is a good, compassionate man. One thing I will have a very hard time adjusting to is that he has company 20 hours a day on the days he is not working. I can't do that.My brother is in the next room swearing and saying the most horrible negative things and talking about suicide and yelling about how cursed he is, and that really gets to me. Since my NDEs (near death experiences), the negativity of people or media really disturb me. I pray to know what to say to him to help him, but he won't listen to anything positive and doesn't know how to comfort himself. Even at night he swears and yells and tosses and turns in his sleep. He got kicked out of a campground in the middle of the night for it. Its obviously a brain chemical imbalance but no Dr. has been able to find the right medicine to help him. Poor guy, gets no relief even in sleep.I am proud that his books just got published. He worked on them full time for 13 years. It is an encyclopedia of herbal medicine. You can look up any herb, and symptom or disease, and see what to do, how to use the herbs, and pictures of the herbs. The link to see his books are on the right side column of this blog under "Favorite sites".I don't know if I ever mentioned that I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. That is the reason that I was finally put in strong pain medicine, so I am thankful for the condition. Before I got it, it didn't matter that I had severe kidney pain and other pain from lupus in many areas of my body, no one would help me with pain medicine, but with TN, you MUST have strong pain meds, because the pain is severe enough to stop your heart, which I have had happen. At that point, doctors decide that keeping you alive is more important than worrying about the addictive quality of the medicine.Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), or Tic Douloureux, ( also known as prosopalgia ) is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, and jaw.[1] Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by many to be among the most painful of conditions and is often labeled the "suicide disease" because of the significant numbers of people taking their own lives when they cannot find effective treatments. An estimated 1 in 15,000 people suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, although numbers may be significantly higher due to frequent misdiagnosis. It usually develops after the age of 40, although there have been cases with patients being as young as three years of age [2]. More information at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgiaMy pain today is so bad that I am considering going to the E.R. but I have no one to go with me, so I may just stay home and suffer as usual. My pain is only 8 out of 10 right now. When it gets to 9, I can't sit up or roll over, when it gets to 10, I am sobbing, shaking and too sick to be moved to the E.R. so I try to control it with every method possible at home before it gets to 9 or 10.The new pain studies have shown over and over that those who take strong pain meds (narcotic opiates) for severe pain do not get high, they only get their pain neutralized, so there is very little chance of being psychologically addicted. Your body does get dependent upon it though, so if you go off, your body will go through physical withdrawal, but you will not crave the drug in order to get high. What I am addicted to is pain relief!The new doctors are being taught about the new theories of pain control, but the older doctors still don't get it. I went to 17 doctors who said they would not treat me because I was on strong pain meds. The doctors that graduated before 5 years ago were taught to look at everyone who has severe, chronic pain as a drug seeker, instead of looking at them as a pain-relief seeker.I have such a long list of things that must be done, but most days I only get 1 or 2 things done. I remember getting 40 or more things done in a day. I could think of the list, then get them all done. Now I can't even think of the list. I guess that is due to the effect of pain upon the brain, as my last posts explain.I guess I won't go to the E.R. When I'm in this much pain, I am not strong enough to defend myself when being accused of being a drug seeker. I occasionally get a good compassionate Dr. but not usually.I have been told this hospital will change almost immediately because my city got 80 new doctors this year. (All from other countries). I am eager to see that change! Up to now, doctors would be very compassionate and patient, but soon they would start affiliating with the local doctors, who would tell them how things should be done, and if things were not done their way, they would be outcasts from the society of doctors, so very soon, they developed the bad habits and bad attitudes of local doctors.This took me all day (12+ hours) to write, taking breaks in between. I am cutting off as many email groups and newsletters as possible and deleting most forwards. I have been spending 8 to 12 hours a day on emails, and I just don't have the strength for it anymore.I just looked at my horoscope for today. I don't believe in it much, but I laugh when it coincidentally is right on. It said today would be an emotionally draining day.Blessings, all; sweet dreams.Bluebirdy

Chronic Pain Alters Brain Activity
Chronic pain seen altering how brain works
CHICAGO (Reuters) Brain scans of people in chronic pain show a state of constant activity in areas that should be at rest, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday, a finding that could help explain why pain patients have higher rates of exhaustion, lack of concentration (often called pain fog), depression, anxiety and other disorders. They said chronic pain seems to alter the way people process information that is unrelated to pain.
Chronic Pain Harms Brain's Wiring
FRIDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Chronic pain can disrupt brain function and cause problems such as disturbed sleep, depression, anxiety and difficulty making simple decisions, a U.S. study finds.
Researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago used functional MRI to scan brain activity in people with chronic low back pain while they tracked a moving bar on a computer screen. They did the same thing with a control group of people with no pain.
In those with no pain, the brain regions displayed a state of equilibrium. When one region was active, the other regions calmed down. But in people with chronic pain, the front region of the cortex mostly associated with emotion "never shuts up," study author Dante Chialvo, an associate research professor of physiology, said in a prepared statement.
This region remains highly active, which wears out neurons and alters their connections to each other. This constant firing of neurons could cause permanent damage.
"We know when neurons fire too much they may change their connections with other neurons or even die, because they can't sustain high activity for so long," Chialvo said.
"If you are a chronic pain patient, you have pain 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every minute of your life. That permanent perception of pain in your brain makes these areas in your brain continuously active. This continuous dysfunction in the equilibrium of the brain can change the wiring forever and could hurt the brain," Chialvo explained.
These changes "may make it harder for you to make a decision or be in a good mood to get up in the morning. It could be that pain produces depression and the other reported abnormalities, because it disturbs the balance of the brain as a whole," he said.
The study was published in the Feb. 6 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.
Chialvo said the findings show that, along with finding new ways to treat pain, it's also important to develop methods to evaluate and prevent disruption of brain function caused by chronic pain.

The American Academy of Family Physicians has more about chronic pain.

What a journey we´ve had with this "Happy Thoughts" Experiment…
But…I know, that no one is going to read my words here – You´re all simply going to scroll down to see, who won the Vulpine Familiar, isn´t that so? :p
So I guess I´ll start with that 🙂
I chose to use the tool Random Name Picker. I didn´t even know such a thing existed, how fun!
Out of all those who participated, I counted a total of four bloggers, that qualifies for the Vulpine Familiar Giveaway with a minimum of 7 posts during the two weeks – the only criteria that had to be met (Correct me, if I am wrong, please, then it is not my intention!)
Wrath, Leto, Eppu and Erik.
I so wish I could have done a stream or some kind of live event with this, but I am low techy techy, I apologize.
But, let´s spin the wheel, shall we!
…Isn´t it exciting!
…And the winner is…
Get in touch with me and send me an e-mail at email@example.com to begin the adoption!
…One would think, that that was it…Right?
Not at all. I am feeling generous, and because of that…
For everyone else who participated, who didn´t win the mount…No matter if you made your seven posts or not…For everyone who tried…
…For Kam at Kamalia et alia
…For Marathal at Deez Wurds
…For Wrath at Coffee Cakes and Crits
…For Eppu at Co-Geeking
…For Erik at Co-Geeking
…And to Grimgrog for his always encouraging comments and faithful readership…
… 🙂
I chose Cap´n Crackers, because everyone will be able to remember, which expansion he came from, and when we did this experiment. And I heard he will actually sit on your shoulder, if you /whistle at him. Pretty neat 🙂
I hope he will bring you joy. And if you ever find yourself feeling dragged down by the unconstructive negativity, just bring him out, and he will remind you, how powerful a positive mindset can be!
I hope none of you have him. If so, and if you are feeling generous yourself, you are more than welcome to pay him forward, of course. But I really hope none of you have him.
Get in touch with me at email@example.com and inform me, if you wish to recieve a US or European code, and which e-mail I can use.
I discovered, you do not need to hand out your BattleNet info to me, if you feel uncomfortable with that; an e-mail will do just fine and the adoption is instant 🙂
Please let me know if you have any issues with it! It took me 4 conversations with Game Masters to get this to work, hah.
So I´d appreciate a headsup, also when it works, so I know it arrived safely.
The deadline for the adoption is one week from today, Wednesday, January 16th.
Final Thoughts
Here ends the "Happy Thoughts" – Experiment.
I am happy to say, that it had an impact of me, more than I thought it would, and I feel much more positive about the game now. Unfollowing a few YouTubers, staying away from all unconstructive negative comments and posts, carefully selecting how I spend my time, making small positive blog posts, read all of yours…It all contributed to a much greater positive mindset.
So thank you and enjoy your new companion, big or small!
Happy New Year and happy positive mindset 🙂
Look at Leto on this beautiful mount…
Absolutely gorgeous 🙂
And Grimgrog with Crackers
Wrath with Crackers
Keep ´em coming – That sitting on the shoulder feature is beyond cool, hah 🙂

A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:
Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.
Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon.
