Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs
Temperatures Are Soaring! Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs
Now that the dog days of Summer are here, it's important to keep an eye on your pup for signs of heatstroke. Along with playing at the beach and enjoying long walks, simply spending time outdoors when the temps soar can put your pooch at risk of heat stress or heatstroke. Not sure what to look for? The signs of heat stress or heat exhaustion include heavy panting, rapid pulse, glazed eyes, a deep-red or purple tongue, vomiting, lethargy or any unsteadiness or staggering gait.
If you notice your dog having a hard time breathing or he seems disoriented after spending time outdoors in the hot sun, then get your pup inside pronto, as the conditions are very serious. If your pet does become overheated, then you need to immediately lower his body temperature with the following steps:
- Move your pet indoors or to a shady area and apply cool water over his body. Lowering your dog's core body temperature is essential, but it's important that the water isn't too cold.
- Next, apply ice packs to your pet's head, neck, and chest.
- Offer your pet small amounts of water, either with a dish or letting him lick ice cubes.
- If your dog is still lethargic or having difficulty breathing, then head to your vet immediately.
Along with knowing how to handle heatstroke, make sure to take the time to prevent your pup from overheating:
- Have water available for your dog during the hot Summer months. Bring along a water bottle to offer to your pooch while playing outdoors.
- Take breaks while enjoying a game of catch or taking long walks when it's extra hot outside. And allow your pup to pant, which is his way of regulating his temperature.
- Head to shady areas with your pooch after spending time outside — or go for a swim, which cools everyone down.
- Never leave your dog unattended in the open sun. And keep a close eye on older and overweight dogs, making sure they are in well-ventilated areas during the hot Summer months.

The $130 Epson WorkForce 510 is a direct replacement for the WorkForce 310 we reviewed last year, but it adds wireless printing for the same price. The 510 isn't perfect, and this certainly isn't a device for high-volume photo prints, but its fax and copy functionality in addition to a 30-page auto document feeder (ADF), wireless printing, Ethernet networking, and a five-ink cartridge bay earn the WorkForce 510 our recommendation for a small office with light printing duties.
The general shape and design of the WorkForce 520 is reminiscent of the WorkForce 310, with simple changes to the control panel that lies across the front lip of the device. You still get the same elegant curve of the ADF input tray, and the exact dimensions measure 18.1 inches wide, 21.3 inches deep, and 11.9 inches tall while it's in printing mode with all the trays folded out. Like the 310, the control panel features a two-line LCD display with horizontally scrolling characters; the display provides operating instructions and troubleshooting tips in the event of a paper jam or incorrectly installed ink cartridges. The display can also hold up to 60 speed- or group-dial fax numbers, five of which can autodial from the shortcut buttons on the far right panel.
The rest of the control panel contains the most commonly used shortcut buttons for each function, including shortcuts to Copy, Fax, and Scan, as well as a directional arrow pad, buttons that toggle between black and white vs. color prints, a set of keys for the fax machine, and the five autodial buttons already mentioned.
Just underneath the control panel, you'll find the central output bay that corrals all completed documents and photos with a plastic fold-out tray and a lip that pops out of the end to stop sheets from falling out of the printer. The back of the printer houses another fold-out tray that's used to hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 4-inch-by-6-inch photo paper.
That number is less than the mean for an all-in-one, so if you have a high volume of copies or faxes to send, you may want to consider adding 30 additional sheets to the ADF that comes out of a hinged door on top of the printer. Finally, the ADF can also handle a variety of paper types, including photo paper, presentation paper, A4, half letter sizes, and up to 10 envelopes.
The Epson disc that comes with the printer shows you how to install the drivers that allow the device to communicate with your computer. Some of the initial settings like date, time, and language are handled directly on the two-line LCD, but Epson offers three ways to establish a connection using the software: a hardwired USB cable, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and a network connection over Ethernet. The USB installation process is simple, and the system lets you choose which extra software features (Abby FineReader Sprint and Epson Scan) you want to install with the drivers. Connecting over Wi-Fi is as easy as locating your SSID identifier and punching in your network password.
Under the hood, you'll fine Epson's standard five-ink cartridge bay, a boon over the standard tricolor that we see in most sub-$150 printers like the Canon Pixma MP495. We've touted the return on investment of multicartridge ink jets printers before, so suffice it to say that the ability to swap individual colors as they drain will save you money in the long term.
The WorkForce 520 uses Epson's 125/126 cartridges that cost $11.39 per standard-capacity color (yields 335 pages for 3.4 cents per color page) and $15.19 per black cartridge (yields 550 pages for a more affordable 2.8 cents per black page), with high-capacity models also available on Epson's Web store. The cost for a page of color is slightly above average for an all-in-one (AIO) at this price level; the cost for a full page of black text is significantly less than average, solidifying our recommendation to use this printer for light-duty, text-based projects.

Artwork description:
I'm participating in a new challenge called #The100DayProject and I'm choosing to create new original oil paintings in a minimalistic style called "Zenscapes."
Each piece is 4" x 4" (10.16 cm x 10.16 cm) on a piece of unstretched canvas and comes mounted in a white square mat measuring 8" x 8" (20.32 cm x 20.32 cm). These Zenscapes are signed on the back and on the front of the mat; and carefully shipped in a sturdy cardboard envelope, ready to be framed by you!
The Zenscapes are simple, minimalist-style seascapes and landscapes. My seascapes are usually inspired by my visits to the Northern California Pacific coast (favorites are Bodega Bay, Stinson Beach, Carmel, Monterey, Sea Ranch, Mendocino, San Francisco, Point Reyes, etc.....), and my landscapes are inspired by Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley and many of the other beautiful regions in the state of California.
NOTE: Price is for painting and mat only - no frame included! Colors vary from monitor to monitor and paintings shown in rooms may not be shown to scale. Please verify sizes in listing before purchasing.

A NEW YOU: The best days of your life are yet to come
Once in the newspaper there was a cute Peanuts cartoon that showed Lucy and Linus seated in front of a television set. Then, Lucy said to Linus, "Go get me a glass of water."
Linus looked surprised and asked, "Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for me."
So Lucy responds, "On your 75th birthday," she promised, "I'll bake you a cake."
Linus got up, headed to the kitchen to get Lucy a glass of water and declared, "Life is more pleasant when you have something to look forward to."
What are you looking forward to today? Are there dreams and goals that you are pursuing and expecting to happen in your life?
Are you using your God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others? Or, are you worn thin, erring on the cautious side and not expecting anything good to materialize anymore?
Maybe, you've had many disappointments, and now you are expecting more of the same. Stuck looking backward, perhaps, the bar of expectations has become lowered. For it's easy to think, "Things are never going to change." Then, you may be dragging through your days and settling for less, rather than living the purposeful life that God has planned for you.
Yet, don't abandon your hope for a better tomorrow too quickly. Do not close the door for God to turn around situations and do incredible things in your future. Stop looking at where you've been and what happened in the past, and begin to focus on where you can be today and tomorrow. God has far more planned for you. His benevolent hand is present in circumstances, even when it is not visible. So trust in Him and look forward.
In the Old Testament, God spoke to Elijah and said, "Go east and hide in the Kerith Valley. It is east of the Jordan River." There, God would sustain him.
Elijah might have arrived, surveyed the conditions and thought, "I don't see any source of food." He might have felt astray, alone or forgotten, for the situation seemed hopeless.
Thereafter, Elijah could've started questioning, "God, I just don't know how this is going to work out?" Have you ever questioned God in that manner?
But with unwavering faith, Elijah trusted God to lead him to the best path, and "he went to the Kerith Valley. It was east of the Jordan River. He stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning. They also brought him bread and meat in the evening. He drank water from the brook." (1 Kings 17:2-6)
As God provided for Elijah, He has miraculous ways to provide for you. He can meet every need. He can send you a miracle. God hasn't forgotten you. He has a tremendous mission for you to fulfill. God wants to pour out His goodness on you and delight you with amazing wonders and blessings. For He knows how to put you in the right place at the right time. Thus, look forward to good things happening. Expect to experience God's best and expect the favor of God upon you and your family.
I read in John 2:1-11, where Jesus, His mother, Mary, and the disciples were guests at a wedding in Cana. The wine ran out, and through the urging and expectation of His mother, Jesus took the six water pots filled to the brim with water, and He turned them into wine. However, He created not just any wine, but the finest of wines. Jesus brought something new and better to the guests at the wedding. Instantly, there was a change.
Likewise, positive change is approaching you. Blessings are coming your way that will bring you to new heights of achievement. Doors that were closed in the past will now swing open. Your heart's desires are right within your grasp. And, suddenly, you'll be propelled forward.
Out of the blue, good people will come into your life. Remarkable opportunities are going to find you. And conditions won't be as difficult anymore.
Hence, do not be discouraged or impatient. Stay enthusiastic. Continue helping others. God's hand of blessing is going to take you along a new, wonderful path. Don't quit now. Keep moving ahead. The impediments of the past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.
A while ago, I read an interesting story about clothing designer, Lilly Pulitzer. In the late '50s, after moving to Palm Beach, Florida, Pulitzer opened a juice stand. Squeezing the juice all day made a mess of her clothing. So to camouflage the juice stains, Pulitzer was inspired to create dresses that she could wear with vivid color combinations.
Adorned in vivid pinks, lemon yellows and bright greens, people loved Pulitzer's colorful, floral prints so much that she produced more dresses. She began selling them at her juice stand, and Lilly Pulitzer's iconic lifestyle brand was born. Stumbling blocks were the stepping stones that took Pulitzer higher. When faced with a challenge, she didn't get discouraged. Pulitzer thought creatively, looked forward and didn't give up. And as you continue to persist, your challenges may actually be opportunities that boost you to an exciting, new place.
William Booth, who founded The Salvation Army, once said, "God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible."
So start dreaming again. Seek to find, knock to get the door opened, and ask before you receive (Matthew 7:7). Raise your sights and aim higher. Whatever you would like to accomplish, you must expect it and look forward to it, even before there are any signs of it coming to pass.
God is not finished with the wonderful plan He has for you. As a parent loves their child, God loves you with an everlasting love. And He wants to give you a future and a life worth living.
The best days of your life are yet to come. Go out and embrace today. And look forward to tomorrow expectantly!

You'll be happy to hear that I have a post done!
Except for one bit. I have a couple of stupid questions.
1. That was not Calet or its outskirts we reached, right, that was just a small nameless town on the way there?
2. Which direction exactly are we travelling in if we want to 'accidentally' meet Aiwe's gang?
3. How much money would our mercenaries expect for a job? I hate having to write about money, I can never figure out how much things should cost... Pointy, Foolish, does either of you have an idea of what the average good offer for escorting the merchant to Calet might be? I can work around it if not.
Right. I'll post it as soon as I get an answer, failing that, tomorrow or Tuesday, and then if need be I'll edit.

From time to time, you may find yourself with a rare opportunity to do some photography under unique circumstances. Taking advantage of the opportunity may require some special equipment and/or preparation. By doing your homework in advance you can be sure that you do what's needed to make it all pay off.
I can best illustrate what I'm talking about by citing an example.
In the first half of May, I spent a week-and-a-half in the American southwest, including parts of six days at Zion National Park in Utah. I was last at Zion in 1998 and one thing I was committed to doing on this return trip was hike—and photograph—at least part of the Virgin River Narrows. I'd never hiked the Narrows before, but I'd heard a good deal about it over the years and seen plenty of images and I knew that this was something I wanted to do. Among the tidbits of information I'd heard about the hike was that it involved a considerable amount of river hiking. While I've done more than my share of photography in and around waterways, I'd never dealt with water above knee-level. I was certain to face higher water than that in the Narrows; this would not be an ordinary photo excursion and that's why advance preparation was necessary.
The first thing I did was attempt to determine whether the hike was viable at the time of the year—early May—that corresponded with my planned trip. I engaged a number of on-line (and traditional) sources and determined that it probably would be doable, but that it was no slam dunk. The Virgin River runs highest—due to the snowmelt fed nature of the waterway—in springtime. If the snowmelt is particularly large or if there's been a heavy rain, water levels and current strength might make the hike impossible. Several sources confirmed that, if the hike was possible, some kind of dry suit, and undergarment insulation, would be recommended as the water temperature could be expected to be in the neighborhood of 45 degrees F. When hiking the Narrows from the bottom up, as a day hike (as I was planning to do), I learned that one can expect to be in the river at least 60% of the time and much of that time would involve dealing with water above knee high during a typical day in the first half of May. Based on several sources I consulted, I fully anticipated being in the Narrows for six or seven hours. Being unable to remain dry would mean a miserable experience at best and, depending on the specific weather conditions, downright dangerous. So I knew in advance that this was an issue that I would have to address.
The photographic-specific considerations were equally compelling. Everyone I spoke to strongly recommended dry bagging all delicate photographic equipment (i.e. camera, lenses, accessories) to protect them in case the ever present river water proved to be a complication. Further, ambient light levels during good shooting times would all but necessitate a tripod—not that I ever shoot landscapes without a tripod anyway—to obtain decent images. That presented another issue, since the potential for dealing with an equipment-carrying system that would support the tripod was a problem in and of itself, given the potential for dealing with water well above waist-level. Furthermore, a walking stick was highly recommended by all of my sources for retaining balance when dealing with strong currents and probing water depth. Having an arm free to deal with the stick meant that the tripod couldn't be carried by hand.
All in all, based on my inquiries, there were a lot of important considerations to deal with. I then went about trying to deal with all of the issues.
About two months before the start of the trip, based on an on-line recommendation, I contacted an outfitter in Springdale, Utah, just outside the park and explained my concerns, asking for advice. They recommended reserving a full dry suit, given how high the water level was likely to be. If it turned out that water levels were lower than expected and would definitely not reach waist levels, my reservation would be changed to dry pants only. Either way, it would be imperative to stay dry, I was told, given the temperature that could be expected. A dry bag for my equipment was imperative and they would be able to supply that as well. They couldn't help much when it came to my tripod concerns, but they were sure that we could figure something out when the time came. I also concluded that I needed to rent the gear for two days because I wanted to be in the river as close to dawn as possible (sunrise was at 6:30 when I would be there). It was also suggested to me that I plan the hike for a weekday, not a weekend. The Narrows is one of the most, if not the single most, popular hikes at Zion and the park is more crowded on the weekends. Given that I wanted to do a lot of photography it was suggested that I avoid crowds as much as possible. Besides, sunlight would penetrate the canyon walls by late morning and would be a constant presence until late afternoon. I needed to have the gear back to the outfitter no later than 7 PM on the evening of the hike, so I needed to maximize the even light of the morning to the extent possible. Given the difficulty of dealing with the logistics of picture taking in the Narrows (the constant removing and stowing of gear in dry bags in a pack, with the need to secure the tripod, etc.) the going would be very sluggish. Again, I had to hit the river as early in the day as possible. Besides, I'd never worn a dry suit before. It would be helpful to go through the process of trying on all of the components of the dry gear on the day before, as a kind of practice run. That way, the morning of the hike, I'd be able to hit the ground running…so to speak. Finally, based on the recommendations of the outfitters, I purchased two layers of non-cotton undergarments to wear below the dry suit from an REI outlet in the Chicago area. The undergarments would allow me to stay warm despite the river water temperatures. The dry suit, the outfitter informed me, would keep me dry but wasn't insulated. The undergarments would be critical to my staying warm in the cold water.
Finally, I was given links to Websites that tracked the river current and height, according to U.S. Geological Service gauges. In the three or four weeks before my departure I tracked the daily measurements. About a week before my trip, the water level rose markedly and the National Park Service closed the Narrows to hikers for several days. But the water levels began to fall, even more steeply than they had risen, and the Narrows was re-opened four days before I arrived in Zion and about a week before my planned hike. I called the outfitter five days before my planned hike date and was told that there was still water that had to be traversed that would be nearly neck-high on me. There were some reports of people having to swim through deep pools in certain areas. I was concerned, not about myself, but—of course—about my photo gear. I was particularly worried about taking my photo backpack—which has a dedicated tripod carrying system as part of its construction—on the hike. If I had to wade through deep water, the contents of the pack would be protected in dry bags, but the pack itself would probably be ruined and the tripod might be compromised. I had no idea what I would do about this, but was determined to find a solution that would deal with the very high water contingency.
These were all my considerations going into the hike and it ended up playing out pretty much to script. Early on the afternoon of the day before the hike I went to the outfitter and picked up the dry gear. I was given a very brief demonstration of how to put it all on. I also selected some dry bags and, with the permission of the staff at the outfitter, I was able to try to see if my photo gear—including the tripod—could be accommodated by one of their backpacks. It took some adaptation on my part, but I was able to rig up a system that would allow me to secure the tripod in a rented pack. I wrapped the tripod in a heavy trash bag and devised a way to lash it securely to the pack. It wasn't quite ideal, but it was pretty close and it was definitely the best possible solution available since it would mean I wouldn't have to worry about destroying my own pack. Further, I got word that the water levels were continuing to fall and I probably wouldn't have to deal with anything much deeper than waist level. I began to think that this all might work out pretty well. Unless I took a header in the river—a distinct possibility, I was told, because footing was always iffy and the current remained very strong in some places where the river had to be forded—my gear, the backpack and my tripod—would probably remain dry.
That turned out to be pretty much the case. You can see some of the photos I managed to take during the hike (I was in the river for roughly seven hours all told that day). The deepest water I encountered was slightly above waist-level. My gear—including the pack and the tripod—remained dry (except when I set up the tripod in the river itself—when I knew that the tripod feet would get a bit wet, as they had many times before). I never fell. I did have to deal with some extremely fast moving water, but I came through it just fine. Despite some bone-chilling water temperatures, I was never cold due to the rented dry suit and my decision to wear several layers of thermal undergarments, the neoprene socks that I rented, and the special canyoneering shoes that were part of the rental package. The walking stick was, it turned out, a must.
While the special aspects of taking (technically) high quality photos in the Narrows made the experience occasionally difficult, I couldn't be happier that I had experienced the wonders of the hike. And the only reason that it went as well as I possibly could have hoped under the circumstances is that I had thoroughly planned for a variety of contingencies…and because I admittedly caught some breaks.
Don't let great photo opportunities pass you by because you weren't ready for unorthodox circumstances. Taking advantage of these occasions demands advanced preparation. Be prepared and give yourself—and your photography—a chance to bathe in the fountain of opportunity.

The hot topic of chillies
CHILLIES are a popular crop to grow.
They don't take up a lot of space, so it's easy to grow a selection of different varieties in a season.
They are very decorative and are useful in the kitchen.
Chillies originated in South America and have spread throughout the world in the past 500 years or so.
They are now an integral part of the cuisine of many different countries, particularly those with warm climates where they are most readily grown.
The fruit usually start out green and can be harvested at this stage. If left to ripen on the plant, the fruit will turn yellow, orange, purple, black or red, depending on the variety.
The colourful, fully ripe fruit are generally hotter and have a more intense flavour than the green ones.
Chillies enjoy similar conditions to tomatoes and capsicum.
A warm, sunny position in a pot or garden bed is ideal.
They don't need much in the way of care and attention.
They are a warm-season plant and can look a bit shabby during winter.
I usually trim mine back quite hard and let them re-shoot in spring.
They do like a humid environment, so you can plant them quite close together to foster this.
Keeping the soil mulched will also be beneficial.
Chillies make good companions for eggplant, cucumber, tomato, okra, squash, basil, oregano and parsley.
They also like geraniums, petunias, lovage, carrots and onions.
Keep them away from beans, broccoli, cabbage and fennel.
The heat level of the different varieties of chillies is measured in Scoville Units, in a method developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912.
When you read about the heat of chillies, the Scoville scale is usually translated into a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the mildest and 10 being the hottest.
At the mild end of the heat scale, you will find the Sweet Temptation, scoring a 2-3.
If you like something with a bit of bite, you might enjoy the Jalapenos.
They are cylindrically shaped, about 5-8cm long, and turn from dark green to red when ripe. They get a heat rating of 4-5.
A little further along are the Caysan chillies, a fruit about 5-7cm long, turning bright red when cooked.
I planted one of these last year and found that I used it far more than the habaneros and the birds eyes, because it had some heat but not too much.
After a hard trim in winter, it is coming back nicely and bearing well.
Habaneros are very hot, a 9 on the heat scale.
They are an interesting lantern shape and there are a few different types, producing fruit that may be orange, red, yellow or brown when ripe.
Also up there at the dangerous end of the heat scale is the Birds Eye, a short, tapered, red chilli that is only about 2-3cm long. The bush, to 1-1.5m tall, bears prolifically.
Be careful when handling chillies, as the juice can be highly irritating to the skin and the eyes.

A Woodland-Inspired Wedding at the Clubs at Houston Oaks in Hockley, Texas
Jessica Pettey (28 and a photographer) and Nick Hoffman (32 and a process technology operator) met when they were teenagers: Jessica was having dinner with a friend when Nick, their server, thought she was cute and brought her a piece of cheesecake (she had mentioned it was her favorite dessert). Not long afterward, Jessica got a job at the same restaurant, and over the next six months, the two became best friends. "We were inseparable," she says. "We had truly found our soulmate in each other—the most magical feeling in the world." They were together for 12 years before getting engaged. With the help of Ashley Joseph of TwoBeWed (the "Taylor Swift of wedding planning," Jessica says), the couple planned their dream wedding in 11 months. Getting married among oak trees, with the beauty of nature surrounding them, was key to making their wedding vision a reality. They found the perfect venue at the "breathtakingly beautiful" Clubs at Houston Oaks in Hockley, Texas. The outdoors theme was enhanced through a palette of blush, gold, copper, merlot, burgundy and shades of green and brown. (Bridesmaids wore burgundy gowns with fur boleros and flower crowns.) From the meaningful words of love lining the aisle to the outdoor reception under the romantic glow of string lights, with a slow-motion video booth, a s'mores bar and confetti canon, the celebration was truly a reflection of Jessica and Nick—"traditional yet personable," she says. After putting so much thought into every detail, Jessica advises future couples to be present on your wedding day to enjoy the result of those hours of planning and dreaming and anticipating. Also, don't lose sight of the bigger picture if there's a little planning hiccup, she says: "Always remember the day is about you marrying the love of your life and coming together as one, and that's truly all that matters." —Chrissy Sorenson

Disinfection is one of the most important processes in water treatment. This step eliminates microorganisms in drinking and process water to ensure safe water use according to relevant regulations and directives.
Water disinfection to remove microorganisms is essential, especially when the water is supplied from lakes and rivers etc.Removal of pathogens
Rivers and lakes may contain high levels of pathogens as a result from inadequately or non-treated discharges. This also includes sewage, from combined sewer systems that discharge untreated sewage during rain storms.
Contaminated domestic water systems
However, domestic water systems supplied from "clean" water wells are often also contaminated. As a result most drinking water installations in commercial buildings are disinfected to prevent microbiological contamination, such as legionella, E.coli, etc.
Definition of disinfection
Disinfection is defined as elimination of 99.999% of germs in water or on surfaces. This can be achieved through different chemical or physical methods. However, each method has its pos and cons:
· Chlorine is often used in the form of chlorine gas, as commercial hypochlorite solution or as electrolytic generated hypochlorite.
· Chlorine dioxide solution needs to be generated onsite from chemicals but is more effective than chlorine/hypo. Chlorine dioxide is able to remove bio film and is has a long residual effect.
· Ozone is a gas which is produced onsite from oxygen and solved in water. It is the most effective oxidant but with a very short half-life. This procedure offers no residual effect.
· UV radiation with high intensity as non-chemical method kills most bacteria but is only effective within the UV chamber and has no residual effect.
· Filtration removes bacteria which passes the filter. This method should be regarded as a gatekeeper as it has no residual effect.
· Pasteurisation, although widespread in commercial buildings, it has only limited effect. It does not remove bio film, the effect on free bacteria is limited, and there is no residual effect.

Call us today before 2 p.m. & we'll be to your home promptly for McAllen beetle control & McAllen beetle extermination service. Call now for a free quote.
Beetles make up the largest category of insects in the world, and they account for approximately 25% of all life forms on earth. In fact, there are more than 5 million different species of beetles.
Beetles are easily identified by their hard outer shell, which covers their wings. The wings they use to fly are exposed only during flight. A beetle's body consists of three sections; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen.
Beetles can cause many problems around the home. Several types of beetles feed on wood, which can lead to structural damage. This is true of Powder Post Beetles, Old House Borer Beetles, Bark Beetles, Citrus Long-Horned Beetles, Asian beetles, and other species. Powder Post Beetles, amongst others, grow from eggs that are laid in the wood.
Other beetle species feed on garden plants, such as the Colorado Potato Beetle, the Boll Weevil, the Rose Chafer, the Western Corn Rootworm, and many more. Each of these beetles can cause millions of dollars in damage to crops of many different kinds. The presence of just a few beetles usually indicates that more exist, and quick action is needed.
When you notice a beetle problem, you will want to call a professional to assist with your beetle removal. Accurate identification of the pest is critical since there are many different species of beetles and the specific details required for treatment must be applied to the beetle or beetles that are causing the problems.

Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is the medical term for a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
It puts you at greater risk of getting coronary heart disease, stroke and other conditions that affect the blood vessels.
On their own, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity can damage your blood vessels, but having all three together is particularly dangerous.
They're very common conditions that are all linked, which explains why metabolic syndrome affects an estimated one in four adults in the UK.
Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome may be diagnosed if you have three or more of the following symptoms:
- a waist circumference of 94cm (37 inches) or more in European men, or 90cm (35.5 inches) or more in South Asian men
- a waist circumference of 80cm (31.5 inches) or more in European and South Asian women
- high triglyceride levels (fat in the blood) and low levels of HDL ("good" cholesterol) in the blood, which can lead to atherosclerosis(where arteries become clogged up by fatty substances such as cholesterol)
- high blood pressure that's consistently 140/90mmHg or higher
- an inability to control blood sugar levels (insulin resistance)
- an increased risk of developing blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- a tendency to develop inflammation (irritation and swelling of body tissue)
What Causes Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome is associated with being overweight or obese, and a lack of physical activity.
It's also linked to insulin resistance, which is a key feature of type 2 diabetes. Blood sugar levels are controlled by a hormone called insulin. If you have insulin resistance, too much glucose can build up in your bloodstream.
Your chances of developing metabolic syndrome are greater if you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, or you've had diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes).
Other risk factors
Other factors that increase your risk of developing metabolic syndrome include:
- your age – your risk increases as you get older
- your race – certain ethnic groups, such as Asian and African-Carribean people, may be at greater risk
- other conditions – your risk is greater if you've had cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), or, in women, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Preventing or Reversing Metabolic Syndrome
You can prevent or reverse metabolic syndrome by making a number of lifestyle changes, including:
- losing weight
- exercising regularly
- eating healthily – to keep your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels under control
- stopping smoking
- cutting down/ eliminating alcohol

Are these marine larvae colerd? During my masters I worked on polyphenols. Some of them can interact with DNA in the major groove. I use to get RNA pellets with a reddish/pink color.
During the phase separation with this reagent, the "clear aqueous layer" had a pink tinge to it.
Any suggestions for removing this pigment/phenol contamination from samples that are total RNA resuspended in DEPC-treated water?
You have to add chloroform befor the first Spin!
I saw some suggestions for treatment with chloroform.

I have a problem with RNA extraction because I always have a lot of phenols (low 260/230 ratio and I can guess it for the curve after nanodrop reading) and I was sondering how to eliminte this contamination. I see here that you suggest to remove it with chloroform: can someone tell me about the amount and the procedure?
Thank you very much in advance!

My new book…Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet
My new book
Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet
is now available for purchase in the Kindle store for $2.99. In keeping with the style of the book, here's a splinterview (where I interview myself) about it.
Q. Your new book just went live in the Kindle store…how do you feel about that?
A. Actually, surprisingly happy. Not that I shouldn't be, but I feel good about it…I think it came out pretty well.
Q. Were you worried it wouldn't?
A. I was really trying to get this one out quickly…I wanted to get it out before Black Friday, for people who were getting Kindle Fires then. There's always that pressure when you give yourself a deadline…I prefer to just keep tweaking things over time. When I used to do databases, I remember someone coming to me and asking me if the database was done. I said, "It's like Disneyland…as long as there's a dream, it will never be finished." The person looked at me quizzically and said, "But can I use it?" I said, "Sure."
Q. Does rushing compromise the quality?
A. It maybe compromises the length. The way I wrote this one, I'm pretty happy with it. It's meant to be the breaking information…it's not like a research work I crafted over years.
Q. Have you ever done that?
A. Honestly, no. I've always loved walking into a chaotic situation and improvising. I once prepped a two day class on a BART ride.
A. That's the subway system in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was managing other trainers, and somebody reported in sick…so I headed over to do the class. It was also software I'd never seen…Pagemaker, I think. Anybody who looks at my works knows that graphic design is not my long suit.
Q. And how did the class go?
A. It went fine…I think I got perfect satisfaction scores from my students. Of course, I didn't have to know the whole class when I started. I remember another time I had to step in with some software I didn't know. I was joking later saying that I wanted to say at 10:00, "Well, that's all I know. Let's take a twenty minute break, I'll learn enough to get us to lunch, and then we'll come back."
Q. How can you possibly teach something you don't know?
A. It helps to know something, but that's a common misconception…people who are really good at something are often really bad at teaching it. Teaching is a skill unto itself…it largely has to do with figuring out what is important in a subject and getting other people to understand it.
Q. Okay…let's get back to the book. It's about the Kindle Fire, right? How much do you know about that?
A. Oh, writing about something and standing up in front of a class are two very different things. I got my Kindle Fire on the first possible day, November 15th…I preordered the day it was released, and paid extra for one day shipping. I started writing the book ahead of that. I published it on November 20th…five days later, The book is more than 20,000 words. It's the traditional equivalent of about an 80 page book.
Q. Hadn't you said you wanted to more than that?
A. I did…I sort of foolishly started out wanting to write 100,000 and then 75,000 words. However, this ended up being a good length. I think people will get their $2.99 worth's out of it.
Q. What did you leave out?
A. Well, I'd like to do more resources and recommendations…more of the appendix stuff. I didn't get into reaction to the Kindle Fire by other people. I did, though, go through every menu option, and give people some good tips as well as the big concepts. I found out some interesting things along the way.
Q. Like what?
A. I didn't know you could put a password on the Kindle Fire. Some people have been worried about other people seeing the webpages they visit. You can clean them up, but this is easier. I also suspect people are going to keep confidential information on there, like financial records. This will protect that, to some extent.
Q. Anything else that stands out?
A. I now love the Pulse app! I hadn't used it before, but it's a great way to read blogs. I also found out how to remove webpages from the Carousel, and a lot of little setting things. One odd thing, which I don't know enough about yet, is why there are international settings for the wi-fi. Is wi-fi different in Japan than it is in the USA? I don't know.
Q. What don't you like about the book?
A. The cover! I don't have one right now. That's always been a problem for me. I'm willing to pay somebody to do one…I just haven't gotten that all worked out yet. That's going to hurt the sales, for sure. I'm going to try again to get that going, and once I get something, it may take a couple of days before it shows up in the Kindle store.
Q. Nothing about the content?
A. I could probably have proof-read it more carefully. I suspect it's in pretty good shape…I did run a spell-check and skim over it. And as I mentioned, I'll probably add some material to it…nothing substantial, though.
Q. Should people wait to buy it until it's done?
A. It will never be done. (smiles) I think it's worth the money as is, myself.
Q. Do you think other people will think that?
A. My guess is that it will do pretty well. I told my family I'm guessing I might sell two thousand copies or so by the end of the year. We're not supposed to reveal our sales figures, and I'm not…I'm just speculating ahead of time. Oh, and I guess I should say "licenses" instead of "copies"…that's how it works for e-books.
A. What happens next? Do you go on a publicity tour?
Q. (laughs) No, nothing like that. I've gifted a few copies to people…other Kindle bloggers, mostly. I may do some more of that, but I do pay for each one.
A. You can't send them free copies?
Q. I could, but it's more complicated for them. I like them to be able to have the Kindle services with the book…back up of notes, Whispersync. It's also not that expensive. I pay the $2.99 up front, but if they do get the book, I get a lot of it back in royalties. If they don't…well, I've sent it to people I like. If they get something else, that's okay. By the way, I noticed that you can now choose a delivery date for Kindle store books. That's a wonderful improvement…you don't have to buy a book the same day you are giving it.
A. Are you going to send it to people you don't know?
Q. Maybe…it's hard for me to push myself out there too much.
A. Why? You don't seem shy.
Q. Oh, I'm not. I just…want to keep my writing in perspective in my life. I went the whole "I'm going to be famous" route with something else, and it was just too much time away from the family. I like the level I'm at now…the writing is justified in the time I spend on it, but it doesn't consume my relationships. Having the blog is great! I feel like I have more people I know socially that way, especially the commenters. I honestly really rely on that. I hope people review the book, and people stumble across the reviews. It changes the dynamic for me if I'm hawking it.
Q. Why did you want to do this interview, then? Isn't that hawking it?
A. Not really…this feels like my circle of friends. It's people that I think may want to know about the book, and they may want to ask me questions about it. I won't keep bringing it up. The Fire will be part of the mix here, but I have some other Kindle things I"m already thinking about covering. For example, I want to know more about this thing with Penguin and the public library e-book lending. I've written to the publisher…we'll see if they get back to me. I'll list the book in the appropriate places, and I won't ignore it…but I'm not going to write the title on my forehead, either. (smiles)
Update: I have now uploaded a cover, and I took some of my readers' suggestions and made it a flame. You can see it on the book's Amazon product page, and it will probably take a day or so before you may be able to see it on your Fire. I've also gone through and did some proof-reading. I can't upload that for another day or so, and then it will be a couple of days before people who already bought it can get it (as I understand the way Amazon does it now). I'll be testing that on my Kindle Fire, and I"ll let you know. I think I"ll have to remove the book from my Fire and download it again from the archives to see the changes. You may have gotten notifications about a new edition of a book you bought before…I don't think this will be like that, I think you'll just get the new version when you redownload it from the archives (which is free to do), but I'll double-check.
I'm also very pleased with the response! It's already #1 in a couple of categories, and as I write this #812 in paid books in the Kindle store! Given that there are over a million books there, that's pretty good. 🙂 I'm starting to get reviews on the page. One four-star review did mention a couple of typos. I think that's reasonable to say. When I get the corrected version uploaded, that should help with that. I was actually pleased at how few errors there were, given the accelerated timetable to get it out.
Thanks to everybody who has bought one already! It makes me feel good to know that people are making that choice.

Thanx guys for all that!as you see what i wanted to learn is the MCU broken down to the simple logic gates that make them workI already have a good understanding of the principles of BASIC ELECTRONICS that is gates , adders, MUX , decoders ADC, DAC and all that stuff and also a basic understanding of how RAM (both static and dynamic types) and ROM work that is the basic electronics behind their wirking.And by the way as I am new to MCUs which MCU (I mean brand and type) would you people prefer me buying so that I might be able to reuse it again ( I know they are versatile, its the logic that you put that makes the difference, but what I mean is that which MCU should see me through demanding number crunching situations as well as provide adequate space in their EEPROMS and ROMS ,number of instruction lines that they can hold).My budget is approx (Indian Rupee) INR 1500 to INR 2000 (thats roughly USD $40 to USD $50).Also possible vendors in Kolkata,India. ( if any one of you know about it, while I try to GOOGLE it anyway )
My budget is approx (Indian Rupee) INR 1500 to INR 2000 (thats roughly USD $40 to USD $50)
The point is that you don't build a MCU, you buy them.

Cleaning in place (CIP) refers to all the mechanical and chemical systems necessary to prepare equipment for hygienic food processing that are carried out without dismantling the system.
Our CIP equipment is designed to control the key cleaning parameters with very high accuracy. Parameters include the temperature, flow and concentration of detergent and water, combined with the time the detergent needs to be in contact with soiled equipment in order to clean it. This makes the cleaning of equipment economical in terms of time spent (thereby increasing production uptime) and minimising the utilities consumed. It also prevents potential food safety risks. CIP takes place either after a processing run – what we call 'normal fouling' - or when switching production from one recipe to another.
Tetra Pak® CIP unit P is an advanced automatic cleaning-in-place system used for cleaning process equipment such as filling machines, pasteurisers, sanitary pipes, tanks, aseptic tanks, plate heat exchangers etc.
We can help you with your food production. Contact us about Cleaning-in-Place

DEA Can't Get Around iMessage Encryption Roadblocks
Apr 5, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency aren't happy with Apple. They're complaining about not being able to decipher text messages sent through the company's iMessage app because of encryption, according to an internal DEA document viewed by CNET.
The document noted that it's impossible to intercept messages from the app even if the agency could obtain a court order to do so.
Messages from the app can't be intercepted regardless of who the carrier is, according to the document, although they can sometimes be intercepted when messages are exchanged between an Apple and non-Apple device.
The DEA declined to comment for this story. Apple did not respond to a request to comment for this story.
Obsolete Court Orders
The DEA isn't the only agency grousing about encryption putting a kink in their surveillance efforts.
Court orders are becoming increasingly obsolete for obtaining criminal conversations because many of those conversations aren't currently covered by federal law, FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissman said at an American Bar Association forum in Washington, D.C. last month.
Weissman's predecessor, Valerie Caproni, held similar views.
"In the ever-changing world of modern communications technologies ... the FBI and other government agencies are facing a potentially widening gap between our legal authority to intercept electronic communications pursuant to court order, and our practical ability to actually intercept those communications," she said in testimony before Congress in 2011.
"We confront, with increasing frequency, service providers who do not fully comply with court orders in a timely and efficient manner," she continued.
"As the gap between authority and capability widens, the government is increasingly unable to collect valuable evidence in cases ranging from child exploitation and pornography to organized crime and drug trafficking to terrorism and espionage -- evidence that a court has authorized the government to collect," Caproni added. "This gap poses a growing threat to public safety."
Encryption Use Growing
Although encryption has been around for years, its use hasn't been as widespread as it is now, explained Marcus Thomas, a former FBI agent and advisor for Subsentio.
"It wasn't taken up by mainstream users, partly because it's just too complicated to use," he told MacNewsWorld.
What's more, most people don't feel they need encryption. "They're mostly dealing with information that's adequately protected by the natural security of their networks," Thomas said.
What's changed in recent times is the growth of smartphones and increased use of apps. "That explosion of applications has given people a lot more communication choices, including the use of encryption," he noted.
In addition, as security concerns mount, carriers have opted to turn encryption on by default. "With the user not having to do anything to make encryption happen," Thomas said, "it's starting to become more prevalent."
DEA Overreaction?
While it depends how a service is structured, encryption can make obtaining information more difficult for investigators, according to Chris Wysopa, CTO of Veracode.
"In most cases, encryption raises the difficulty in getting information for law enforcement," he told MacNewsWorld. "In some cases, it can make it impossible."
"At some point, when it becomes so easy and so seamless for everyone to use apps that protect data from being seen if its subpoenaed, we'll have to see what happens," he noted.
What can be overshadowed by complaints by law enforcement is that what Apple is doing is fundamentally a good thing, argues Hanni Fakhoury, a staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"It's a good thing because it protects the privacy of communications from interception by those outside law enforcement," he told MacNewsWorld.
Even if law enforcement can't obtain specific messages, Fakhoury said, there are other ways it can get what it wants when conducting an investigation.
Law enforcement may be exaggerating the technology challenges its facing, he added. "It's overreacting to a problem that's not as big as it's made out to be."

- Specimen measures approx. 5/16″ comes in the 3.25″ x 4.25″ Riker Mount as shown
Ankylosauria ("crooked lizard"), is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the order Ornithischia. It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with armor in the form of bony osteoderms. Ankylosaurs were bulky quadrupeds, with short, powerful limbs. They are first known to have appeared in the early Jurassic Period of China, and persisted until the end of the Cretaceous Period. They have been found on every continent except Africa. The first dinosaur ever discovered in Antarctica was the ankylosaurian Antarctopelta, fossils of which were recovered from Ross Island in 1986.
All ankylosaurians had armor over much of their bodies, mostly scutes and nodules, with large spines in some cases. The scutes, or plates, are rectangular to oval objects organized in transverse (side to side) rows, often with keels on the upper surface. Smaller nodules and plates filled in the open spaces between large plates. In all three groups, the first two rows of plates tend to form a sort of half-ring around the neck; in nodosaurids, this comes from adjacent plates fusing with each other (and there is a third row as well), while ankylosaurids usually have the plates fused to the top of another band of bone. The skull has armor plastered on to it, including a distinctive piece on the outside-rear of the lower jaw.
