Graduation ceremonies reflect how life marches on. For the students receiving their diplomas and degrees, graduation is a culmination of the majority of their lives' work.
For adults attending a ceremony, graduations mark the years, of how quickly time passes: How can so-and-so already be graduating high school or college?
She was just riding bicycles and playing with dolls. How can 10, 20, 30, 40 years have already passed since my graduation? Where has the time gone?
With a few area graduations behind us and more ahead, we thought we'd prepare a few thoughts from past graduates for graduating classes of 2013.
• Time passes quickly. Though it doesn't sound possible now, before you know it, you will be returning for your 20th class reunion. Choose how you spend the next 20 years wisely.
• Be ready for a multitude of adventures, experiences and mistakes. Adventures shape experiences and some experiences will be mistakes. Learn from them all. Seek adventure, remember the experiences, and forgive yourself the mistakes.
• There are no schedules. It is never too late to start something new or to begin again. But remember, too, some things are more difficult to start or return to when you have the responsibilities of children, a mortgage and numerous other bills to pay.
• Always be a student in life. Pursue interests no matter your age. Lessons don't end because school is finished and neither should the pursuit of learning.
• As the next few years pass, you may be surprised at how much your parents' advice actually makes sense.
• In work, find something you love and do it well. You may not become monetarily wealthy, but you may make a living at it and be happier for it.
• Do not be afraid to dream big and pursue these dreams. However, find some simple pleasures in life. Simple pleasures can be anything from a hot bath to clean socks to a good night's sleep to a chocolate bar covered in peanut butter. Sometimes, big dreams have a tendency to disappoint. Simple pleasures are more reliable.
• Make plans even though plans often fall apart. Still, the better you plan, the more you will be prepared when things do fall apart.
• Set goals but enjoy the trip in attaining those goals.
• Don't be a label. Think for yourself.
• If you find yourself moving from town to town, thinking there is nothing to do in any of the towns, take a look at your own life instead of criticizing the town.
• Roam the earth or stay home. Either way, with an open mind and open eyes, the world will come to you.
• Know yourself but be ready for change.
• And everything changes: From your looks to your situation to your relationships to your job, everything.
• Make choices you will not regret. And when you do make some regretful choices still don't regret them. Once something has passed, it has happened. Regretting something won't change it. Think of regret as recognition to help you avoid repeating a situation or action in the future.
• Take a moment to appreciate your achievement. You have graduated! Congratulations!

A weekend to inspire the Christmas spirit
If you don't already know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, you likely will by the end of this weekend.
Eligible voters should cast run-off ballot today
You may not realize it but today is an election day.
Today is Cyber Monday
Following on the heels of Black Friday and Small Business Saturday is Cyber Monday, traditionally the first Monday after Thanksgiving.
Spread joy this holiday season
The holiday season is upon us. While it's a time of joy for many, it is also a time of stress. Unrealistic expectations to create the perfect holiday, buy the perfect gift, and be the perfect hosts creates disappointment when those lofty expectations cannot be met.
Thumbs up
THUMBS UP: To Sam's BBQ and all the volunteers who came out on Thanksgiving to help serve hundreds of people a hot meal. Donated clothing items were given away as well, and the event keeps growing each year. What a wonderful event that Sam and his family started several years ago and what a wonderful community turnout to help out, donate and spend time in fellowship.
Celebrating a winning season
Three local high schools are in contention for championships this weekend, as south Georgia continues its winning ways on the gridiron.
Give to the Empty Stocking Fund
For decades, the Empty Stocking Fund has brought joy to generations of local children. Yes, local children.
Shop small on Saturday
Between the early store openings on Thanksgiving Day leading into the traditional Black Friday sales for the Christmas shopping season, consumers may be overloaded this year with seemingly endless opportunities to shop.
Family time can prevent heartache
A September case in Florida brought national attention to the issue of bullying when a young girl named Rebecca killed herself following reports of extreme bullying by a group of other young girls.
Caution urged for Thanksgiving travelers
More people travel by car for Thanksgiving than any other holiday. With school out, it's easier to get the entire family away for a week. Even with higher gas prices, car travel is less expensive than airfare for families of four or more. According to Triple-A, the average holiday traveler will drive more than 400 miles to reach their destination, and this year, wintry weather is expected to impact travel plans.

A 51-year-old man pleaded guilty to robbing three elderly people, two at knifepoint, in Hyattsville in November 2011 during an outburst of crime that terrorized the community, according to the Prince George's County state's attorney's office.
Henry Sanders of Hagerstown, Md., could receive up to 55 years in prison for each offense, according to prosecutors. A sentencing date has not been set. He pleaded guilty Friday.
Sanders faces similar charges in Montgomery County, where authorities have accused him of five violent attacks in 10 days, including four robberies in which he allegedly tried to abduct the victims to get their bank cards. He has not been tried in those cases.
In a statement, Prince George's County State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said she "is pleased that [Sanders] is being held accountable for his crimes. Protecting our most vulnerable populations is paramount to me, and our citizens can rest assured that Mr. Sanders will not be terrorizing our community any longer."

It took an entire day to do it but I actually read every single comment (268) before posting my own. I'd like to say thank you to the ones on here that can form a logical thought and express their opinions so eloquently. TXanimal, escaping delusion and azwethink are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head.
I will say that, as a woman that fully realized her true sexuality a little later in life that some, it is not a choice. It is not a lie that I convinced myself is true. I'm also not ashamed of who/what I am nor am I ashamed of my marriage. BUT I did not choose this path. It chose me. I can also tell you that my wife and her family knew she was gay before she ever started kindergarten. No one else in the family is gay. No one encouraged it. It just was. You don't sit down in the sand at age 3 or 4 and CHOOSE to be gay. Little children don't have the capacity to understand the concept. She was born that way and, lucky for her, it was clear from the beginning and never wavered. It took me many years to grasp the truth.

You can count on VCI Entertainment to treat an old cowboy movie with respect, and they've brought us some terrific 50s Westerns (often in cahoots with Kit Parker). A few recommendations: Silver Lode (1954), Stranger On Horseback (1955), Darn Good Westerns Volumes 1 and 2.
DVD Review: Movies 4 You Western Classics (Gun Belt, The Lone Gun, Gunsight Ridge, Ride Out For Revenge).
Posted in 1953, 1954, 1957, Dorothy Malone, DVD reviews, releases, TV, etc., George Montgomery, George Sherman, Joel McCrea, John Ford, Lloyd Bridges, Ray Nazarro, Rory Calhoun, United Artists on April 30, 2013 | 22 Comments »
Shout Factory has done us all a huge favor, pulling four 50s Westerns from the MGM/UA/Fox libraries — featuring no less than George Montgomery, Rory Calhoun and the mighty Joel McCrea — and offering them at a great price. All four pictures boast nice, clean transfers. They're all presented full-frame, though three (the post-1953 titles) played theaters cropped to widescreen. I played around with the zoom on my HDTV and was satisfied with the results.
As we all know, there are dozens and dozens of films like these, and the more the better. Let's hope this is the first of many.
Gun Belt (1953)
Directed by Ray Nazarro
CAST: George Montgomery, Tab Hunter, Helen Westcott, John Dehner, Jack Elam, James Millican, Willis Bouchey.
George Montgomery is Billy Ringo, a gunslinger who wants to settle down. We've all seen enough of these films to know how that usually works out.
Before the picture's 77 Technicolor minutes are up, Johnny Ringo hands Ike Clanton over to Wyatt Earp! Director Ray Nazarro began his career as an assistant director in the Silents and ended it with these George Montgomery films, a few with Rory Calhoun and TV for Gene Autry's Flying 'A' Productions.
The Lone Gun (1954)
Directed by Ray Nazarro
CAST: George Montgomery, Dorothy Malone, Frank Faylen, Skip Homeier, Neville Brand, Robert J. Wilke.
Who cares what it's about when you have Montgomery, Dorothy Malone, Skip Homeier and Frank Faylen, not to mention Ray Nazarro, on hand? For what it's worth: George Montgomery goes after the Moran brothers — alone, thanks to the gutless townspeople.
Produced by the Color Corporation Of America, it was probably done in the SuperCineColor process. It looks good here, with the color surprisingly true. It was originally run 1.66.
Gunsight Ridge (1957)
Directed by Francis D. Lyon
Cinematography: Ernest Laszlo
CAST: Joel McCrea, Mark Stevens, Joan Weldon, Slim Pickens.
I found this a good, tight little Western — better than its reputation. McCrea's charm and strength, along with Ernest Laszlo's beautiful black and white cinematography, make the most of an uneven script. Mark Stevens is a tortured, evil bandit pursued by McCrea, as a Wells Fargo agent, through and around Old Tucson.
Joan Weldon is wasted in a nothing part, but Carolyn Craig — who's in a couple of my favorite films, Fury At Showdown (1957) and House On Haunted Hill (1959) — has a nice scene at the end of the picture. There are enough ideas here for half a dozen 50s Westerns — Stevens being a frustrated pianist is a good one — but they aren't given the time and attention they need in this brisk 85 minutes. Those with a keen eye and a nice TV will see a jet trail and an autombile.
Ride Out For Revenge (1957)
Directed by Bernard Girard
CAST: Rory Calhoun, Gloria Grahame, Lloyd Bridges, Vince Edwards.
In the mid-50s, a number of Westerns went beyond the sympathetic, or apologetic, approach to Native Americans of, say, Broken Arrow (1950) and tackled racism itself. John Ford's The Searchers (1956), of course, is the best of these — though I urge you to seek out George Sherman's Reprisal! (1956). Ride Out For Revenge is a solid B film, from Kirk Douglas' Bryna Productions, that manages to make its point without sacrificing action. Probably the best film in the set, and I have to admit I knew almost nothing about it beyond the title and cast. A real find.
Beulah Archuletta, "Look" in The Searchers, can be seen in a couple shots. She's also in Calhoun's The Hired Gun, from the same year.
This blog was set up to champion films like these, and I urge you all to give Shout Factory a strong economic reason to release further volumes.

South Of St. Louis (1949).
Posted in Joel McCrea, Pre-1950, Ray Enright on March 8, 2013 | 7 Comments »
Just noticed that someone was led to this blog by the search term "which western had cowboys with bells on spurs." If you didn't figure it out, it's South Of St. Louis (1949), starring Joel McCrea, Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and Dorothy Malone.
The climactic scene, with the three brothers' spurs jingling as they blast away, is one of the most satisfying wrap-ups I can think of. I sure wish Warner Archive would get around to this one!
50s Westerns DVD News #116: Universal Classic Westerns.
Posted in 1950, 1951, Alan Ladd, Audie Murphy, DVD reviews, releases, TV, etc., George Sherman, Joel McCrea, John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Paramount, Pre-1950, Randolph Scott, Ray Enright, Universal (-International), Van Heflin, Yvonne DeCarlo on March 6, 2013 | 5 Comments »
If you don't have these, consider this essential. If you do, it's a good way to free up some shelf space. Universal has packaged 10 previously-released Westerns — including a couple only available on DVD-R — in a snazzy package. You get:
When The Daltons Rode (1940) George Marshall directs. Randolph Scott leads an incredible cast — Kay Francis, Brian Donlevy, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine, George Bancroft, Edgar Buchanan. I prefer Scott with more age on him, but this picture has do much action, you don't have time to care.
Texas Rangers Ride Again (1940) A 67-minute Paramount Western — a sequel to their Texas Rangers (1936) — starring Ellen Drew, John Howard, Broderick Crawford and Anthony Quinn.
The Spoilers (1942) John Wayne and Randolph Scott in the same movie. (Yet some people still wonder if there's a higher power.) Marlene Dietrich and Harry Carey are in it, too. The climactic saloon brawl is terrific.
The Virginian (1946) Joel McCrea is stunning Technicolor. Universal's getting a lot of mileage out of this one — it's also available on DVD-R from the Universal Vault Series and as part of the Joel McCrea Westerns Collection.
Albuquerque (1948) Ray Enright directs Randolph Scott again, this time in color and with Gabby Hayes, Scott Hayden and Lon Chaney on hand.
Whispering Smith (1948) Any movie that has both William Demerest and Frank Faylen in its cast is worth seeking out.
Comanche Territory (1950) The great, and unsung, George Sherman directs Maureen O'Hara and Macdonald Carey.
Sierra (1950) Audie Murphy is joined by Wanda Hendryx, Burl Ives, Dean Jagger, Tony Curtis, Houseley Stevenson and James Arness. It was directed by Alfred E. Green, in Technicolor. Murphy and Hendryx were husband and wife at the time.
Kansas Raiders (1950) Audie Murphy again,backed by Brian Donlevy, Marguerite Chapman, Scott Brady, Tony Curtis and Richard Arlen. Ray Enright directed.
Tomahawk (1951) stars Van Helfin and Yvonne De Carlo and was directed by George Sherman. Also available as part of the Universal Vault Series, where this one film costs more than the set we're looking at here. Do the math, order one today.
By the way, its release date is Tuesday, March 12. Thanks to Mike for the tip.
50s Westerns DVD News #114: Four United Artists Westerns From Shout Factory.
Posted in 1953, 1954, 1957, Dorothy Malone, George Montgomery, Joel McCrea, Ray Nazarro, Rory Calhoun, United Artists on February 8, 2013 | 11 Comments »
Shout Factory! has announced a set of four middle-budget United Artists Westerns from the 50s — coming May 14 for around $10. They call it Movies 4 You: Western Classics.
The Lone Gun (1954) was directed by Ray Nazarro and stars George Montgomery, Dorothy Malone, Frank Faylen, Neville Brand, Skip Homeier and Robert J. Wilke. It's in color.
Ride Out For Revenge (1957) stars Rory Calhoun, Gloria Grahame, Lloyd Bridges and Vince Edwards. It was directed by Bernard Gerard and shot by the great Floyd Crosby.
Gunsight Ridge (1957) stars Joel McCrea, Mark Stevens, Joan Weldon, Slim Pickens and L.Q. Jones. It was directed by Francis D. Lyon. (As ridiculous as some of these titles seem, there is a Gunsight, Texas. My great-great grandparents lived there at one point. Not sure if it has a ridge.)
Gun Belt (1953) puts George Montgomery, Tab Hunter, Helen Westcott, John Dehner and Jack Elam in the capable hands of Ray Nazarro. In Technicolor.
Haven't seen any aspect ratio information on these yet.
Don't know about y'all, but I'll buy packages like this, at these prices, as long as they can scrape up 50s Westerns to put in 'em.
A big thanks to Mr. Richard Vincent for the heads-up.

I am using SharpBITS (http://sharpbits.codeplex.com/), a well running BITS wrapper for .NET. I am not quite sure but reckon that BITS must run in a Single Thread Apartment (STA). With older versions I had some problems when running BITS in a Multi Threaded Apartment (MTA) which is for example default for .NET console applications. I do not find anything about that in the BITS documentation or on the Internet.
Even SharpBITS tries to set the apartment state in the constructor of BitsManager to STA (what actually would only be possible before a thread is started).
Does someone know if BITS really must run in an STA? The currrent version seems to run as well in a MTA.

She bangs, she bangs!
Beyonce debuted a new hairstyle when she and her husband, Jay-Z, attended the Brooklyn Nets home opener at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Nov. 3. Sporting blunt blonde bangs, the "Run the World (Girls)" singer sat courtside as she watched the Nets beat the Toronto Raptors 107-100. (Jay-Z is a part owner of the team.)
PHOTOS: Do these stars look better with or without bangs?
Beyonce wore an ivory and burgundy Tibi ensemble, which she paired with Giuseppe Zanotti high heels, an Yves Saint Laurent ring and Erika Pena hoop earrings.
PHOTOS: Beyonce Knowles' best hairstyles ever
The 31-year-old has just three months to go before she headlines the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. In the meantime, the "Baby Boy" singer has been actively campaigning for President Barack Obama's reelection.

"He has a story that I can tell my daughter because it shows that no matter where you start out, you can work hard and you can do whatever you put your mind to," Blue Ivy's mom said in a recent Women for Obama campaign video. "I'm standing up for the future of my daughter. The future that I want her to see."

Set sail from Fernie's new boat ramp
The new ramp in Dogwood Park is ready to launch your boat!
The original ramp was put in 18 years ago when the new bridges went in over the Elk River. The old bridge concrete was used to make it, and it was a 20 per cent slope.
This new one is properly engineered at a 14 per cent slope.
The whole project, including landscaping trail alignment, signage and benches, was budgeted at $60,000. Work began around a month ago.
There will also be a four-bay created so boats can wait their turn by the ramp.
"Before, boats would have to wait the other side of the river then rush over when the ramp was free," said Terry Nelson, Senior Engineering Technologist for the City of Fernie.

Edinburgh Marathon

Hi Everyone :)
Massive congratulations to everyone who did the London marathon. What an amazing day!
I just wondered if anyone here has done or is doing the Edinburgh marathon? I was wondering what its like, the good bits and not so good bits, the hard and the really hard parts.
I've read on the website that you're not allowed your mp3 player and although I don't generally run with music i thought i might take it to boost me through the reeeally tough bits.
Anyway any tips or advice anyone can give me is very very much appreciated :)

The out and back nature of the Edinburgh marathon means it could be more interesting, that said, you get some gorgeous coastal scenery. Once you're out of Edinburgh its really flat until a little bit of a hill near the turnaround point. Take your sun lotion with you, if its a sunny day, there is nowhere to hide. I enjoyed it though, and would certainly consider doing it again.

Rural Trauma Care Can, Should Be Better
"There seems to be less aggressive resuscitation when inter-hospital transferred patients arrive at the trauma center, despite similar ISS (Injury Severity Scores) between these patients and those going directly to the trauma center from the scene," the authors wrote.
The authors aren't sure why, but hypothesize that resuscitation efforts related to the transfer, and subsequent trauma team management.
"If the time from the field to the closest hospital is not significantly longer than the time to the nearest trauma center that can deliver definitive care, it may be beneficial to bypass the closest hospital in light of improved pre-hospital care," they wrote.
The Affordable Care Act calls for increased spending and attention to providing trauma care in rural areas, although those appropriations may be in jeopardy because of funding limitations. Of course we can't build Level 1 trauma centers to cover the entire country. But a more sensitive appreciation of the limited capabilities of some rural emergency rooms, and better triaging to better equipped trauma centers, may ultimately save more lives.

I just got the comforter and it exceeds all expectations. SO glad I bought this. First off the burgundy is more of a Christmasy deep red. It looks and feels amazing. The quality is excellent. It is plush, soft, cozy, and warm. I HIGHLY recommend this comforter and the shams are excellent with a berber fleece back to make them extra soft. I LOVE this comforter!
Bought this in a king size to use on our queen guest bed. I will still need a bedskirt, but love the generous size. Guests have slept in that bed and raved about the comforter, asking where I got it.
I am SO in love with this comforter and shams...the berber side is sooooooo soft it is amazing! I thought of berber as a carpet...this is soft and warm beyond imagination. I feel like a princess when I crawl under this comforter. I may even buy another one for my daughter so she will get out of MINE. :)
I bought this blanket for my wife as a birthday gift, we live in Colorado and its very cold at night. My wife is usually cold at night so I thought this would keep her warm. We used to have three blankets on our bed at night. One down comforter and two smaller blankets. Now that we have this blanket we sleep with it and only one small blanket. It is very warm and extremely soft. You would love this blanket if you like to be comfortable. Plus it is a great price, I looked at other sites for the same blanket and overstock beats all the competition.
this comforter and shams were so nice and soft. my son loved them for his new bed we purchased on overstock. (14 inch memory foam) i took the advice of the others and bought one size larger and it was a good thing. the queen size would neer have fit the queen bed. it would have just laid on top to be a cover, but even then... the king fit perfectly, the only thing is you need king pillows for the shams, but that was no big deal-it fills the bed and looks great! both side are really soft, the corduroy is very thin cod and so soft, and of course the berber fleece is too The only reason its not 5 stars is the size. great buy!
Bought this for the guest room, and the only complaint is that it can get full of static in the dry winter air. I put it in the dryer with a wet towel and a dryer sheet, and that seems to have solved the problem, at least temporarily. Does not wrinkle easily, and is very warm.
This comforter set is beautiful and very cozy. The color is accurate and the quality is very good. We love it!
I bought this and it is very short does not cover the bed very well also is not wide enough had to compensate by off centering it so that the side you can see when you enter the bed room will cover the mattress .Also is not long enough to even cover half of the pillows on the top part .
Ok, so I'm a 25 year old single dude that thoroughly enjoys being comfortable. I am an old soul that still wears corduroy clothing and enjoys a nice, warm sleep. Living in Colorado, cold nights are not uncommon. This comforter is by far the best thing that I have ever put on my bed. The berber fleece is so warm, and I don't even use another blanket or sheet. It is very light and not heavy at all, which is great because it doesn't weigh you down. I got the burgundy color, which turned out to be more red, which I loved because it matched some things in my room. The color in the photo doesn't really match what really came, but like I said, I was happy. I have a queen sized bed, and I went with a king size and it covers the entire bed perfectly. This is the only review I've ever written for anything, so that is saying something! Realistically, if you like being, warm, cozy, and having the softest material ever, then this is perfect for you (and me). Some of my buddies have randomly seen and felt this comforter at my house, and they all don't believe that I could own something like this, they think it is the best of the best, but the price is fairly cheap.
I bought this as a gift for my sister and brother in law. They really love the set. They say it's so warm that they don't have to sleep with two blankets on their bed anymore. Did I mention that I live in Pennsylvania, have a drafty house, and it's been below freezing at night already...? Yeah, pretty awesome. I got this when it was on sale, not sure if it still is or not. I believe I paid just over 50. for it- not too bad, with a free shipping coupon. Now, my gripes- there was at least one spot that I saw while I was helping my sister get it out of the bag, the threads looked a little loose. Not a major concern, as I do know how to sew, but when you pay good money for something, you really shouldn't have to fix it right out of the box. Secondly, as other reviewers have stated, the color is more of a Christmas red than a burgundy- no problem, as I was expecting the color to be what the reviewers had stated it was, over the picture. I'd say with any item from Overstock, be ready to get a color that wasn't exactly what you thought it would be. Last year, I spent months looking for the perfect dishes, and I thought I found them here. Paid 90. for dishes that didn't really look like the picture...but I suppose that's another review! Live and learn!! :)

I have been racking my brain going through coding to see where there has been a misstep.
And I think I figured it out. So each week we run a huge backup of the server ( so we never run into a problem again...'The Changeover of 2012')
So we go in and optimize the table so the site runs a little faster and such. So while we are deleting accounts and pruning through reviews ( that are duplicate...or honestly have nothing to do with the story ( yes that is a thing)). When the optimize runs it finally syncs what we do from the backend to reflect on the site.
So we are sorry if this is a problem to all of you who are losing reviews. We will try and finish on our end as quickly as we can so this stops happening.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone!
So we wanted to give you all an update. We are going to be doing some heavy fall cleaning here on the site! We have noticed lately that some of the stories are being mislabeled, and summaries are in viloation of the rules.
With tha being said, for summaires of a story you are allowed to have no more then 3 images. Each image may not exceed the dimensions of 200h by 650w ( NO EXCEPTIONS!)
We are adding new catagories and sub-catagories to the stories, so please if you can help us go into your stories and add an new catagories that may apply we would appreciate it. It will also help when readers are looking for certain stories in a certain catagory or genre.
Finally, we are going to be deleting challenges of a similar nature. Multiple challenges that are asking the same things are taking so much uneccesary space. So please do not take offense if we remove your challenge. Also challenges that are, review for review. Things of that nature need to be done on our message boards, please go there for things like that.
Thank you in advance!

Cats with normal eye health do not require regular eye cleansing.
Regular cleaning may be advised if the:
- Cat has an eye infection
- Cat has a head conformation with prominent eyes, short muzzle and domed head (brachycephalic)
- Cat has scarring or blockage of the tear duct (these normally drain the tears away from the eye)
- Cat has pigmented tear staining
Here are some tips:
- Your veterinarian will advise you regarding suitable cleaning solutions. Frequently, a sterile dilute (normal) saline (salt) solution is used (free of preservatives).
- Make sure you have the cat gently but firmly restrained before cleaning—sudden movement may lead to injury to you or the cat. Wrap a towel around the cat or have an assistant help if needed. Talk to your veterinarian about how to do this procedure first—you do not want to get scratched or bitten do you.
- When cleansing the eyes of cats, it is important to remember not to be overzealous. Let the cat know that the cleaning cotton/gauze/cloth is coming towards the face, so that the eye is closed. An open eye may be scratched, resulting in corneal ulceration a hole in the clear eye surface). Come from the side and above though so you don't give the cat the impression there is a head-on attack coming and make him think he is about to be hit in the eye!
- Be gentle in the pressure you apply to the area around the eye—this is sensitive territory.
- Apply a sweeping motion with the moistened cloth in a down and outward (away from the nose) direction. Never use an inward motion as this may drive dirt into the eyeball.
- If there is dermatitis or skin irritation associated with the discharge located at the lower inside corner of the eye (medial canthus), after cleansing apply a moisture barrier with or without antibiotic (as prescribed) to help protect the sensitive skin from the pooling of eye discharges.
- Clean the eye before instilling medications.
Steady the head firmly but gently then apply the moistened cloth or cotton.

Mid-Autumn Festival: Moon Cakes galore!
... they have lost studying. My make up lessons at the college were today (Sunday) so I couldn't go to Emily School today, meaning my week has consisted of Thursday off completely, Emily school Friday and Saturday and college half of Sunday. Moral of this story is don't get excited about holidays, they mean more work just on a different day. It's a trick really for the staff and students! Although it was quite nice to have Thursday off! We finally went ...
Lets all choose an English name!
Okay so today was the day I was to start at the college. I'd only done the walk to the college once, on Friday afternoon with Sean. I was on my own, Sean was still asleep when I left the house at 7.20am. I set off on my journey, trying desperately to remember the route. It was a nice stroll, the walk takes thirty minutes and the majority of it is is uphill. I walked though the college gates.. It was too early to feel nervous. I was cool headed and remained calm. I had ...
Teenagers, toddlers and Emily's class...
... we continued with the Captain Underpants book for the second part. I was quite tired after and knew I had a hectic Sunday ahead and then I was to start at the college on the Monday so I had more lessons to plan. So I got a relatively early night and woke ready to face EES. When I got there, the only teacher there was Mandy. This was okay, quite quiet... No screaming kids yet. My first class of Sunday only had five students in, for some reason quite a ...

The kind of long brown/grey things are mushrooms, a bit different looking but quite yummy actually. And the fireworks have started! The Chinese invented the fireworks so at any time of the day they set them off but generally in the evening. No occasion needed and sometimes if one person sets some off, another group will lets say jump on the ...
Don't eat the chili!
... and bare it. Sean realised I'd eaten all the jalapeño pepper and red chilli peppers, that would explain why my mouth (including lips now) were on fire. This was an indescribable feeling.. one I never wish to experience again! He told me people don't generally eat the chilli, it just adds flavour to the sauce.. too little too late. We finished our lunch, only the curried noodles could calm my mouth down and so I was cramming them in ...

If you ever Cudi in his videos he looks half alive, and down; also the sun is shinning man hes super cool, is suggesting that although he has a decent amount of riches, hes still cold deep down inside.

Team Fortress Spoofs inspired by the colorful cast of TF2!

Author Comments
While I have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of the game itself, Team Fortress 2's characters are so full of... well, character, that I couldn't resist making a movie about their rivalries and relationships, their woes and wins, their trials and triumphs... with a big focus on Spy and Pyro, the two funniest-looking classes, in my opinion. (Heavy's pretty funny-looking too though.)
Also featuring characters from other Source Engine games, and much more besides.
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTONS are in the top right corner of the movie.
Oh, one more thing: Happy Valentine's Day, TF2 fans! :)

APEC countries agree to launch massive new free-trade zone
The 21 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) agreed Sunday to 'take concrete steps toward realizing a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific' in coming years.
Yokohama, Japan
Asia-Pacific leaders today agreed to press ahead with plans to create an expansive regional free-trade zone in coming years.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
After two days of talks in the Japanese port city of Yokohama, the 21 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) agreed to "take concrete steps toward realizing a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific [FTAAP]," which will link fast-growing economies in the region with the world's three biggest in the United States, China, and Japan.
The free-trade zone, which Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said may start by 2020, would slash tariffs on imports of everything from automobile parts to food in an area encompassing more than half the world's economic production and two-fifths of its trade.
The agreement on trade contrasted with a failure to agree on how to resolve longstanding territorial disputes that have recently soured relations between Japan and its neighbors. But those disputes were not enough to overpower common economic interests.
"Although they are different subjects, it is still possible to see progress on the territorial issue as our economic relations deepen," said Mr. Kan, despite growing domestic pressure to take a tougher line on territorial claims.
'Yokohama Vision'
In their "Yokohama Vision," APEC leaders said, "[T]rade and investment liberalization and facilitation will continue to be APEC's core objective. We have agreed that now is the time for APEC to translate FTAAP from an aspirational to a more concrete vision." But that consensus – in fact a reaffirmation of an agreement reached by the body's finance and foreign ministers last week – could not hide serious differences over economic policy and territorial claims.
President Obama returned to Washington Sunday after a 10-day, Asia-wide trip that culminated in a failure to close the gap with China over exchange rates.
Beijing has resisted pressure to allow its currency, the yuan, to rise and to make other adjustments that would help US exporters gain a foothold in the world's second-biggest economy.

Health Plan Scams Spread Misery
This summer has been a scorcher for large swaths of the west, south, and east. For healthcare hustlers perpetrating a rash of insurance scams, August's heat has been particularly prickly. The Federal Trade Commission came down hard last week on scammers passing off medical discount plans as health insurance plans. Two dozen states are similarly cracking down.
"These medical discount benefit plans sound appealing because they masquerade as health insurance," said David Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "But they are not insurance. They don't offer the benefits of health insurance, and victims don't know they've been ripped off until after they've tried to use the service and paid their bill."
The FTC action has spurred authorities in other states to move against the bogus plans. There are six related lawsuits in Indiana alone, according to the office of Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller.
Last week insurance investigators in Louisiana served cease and desist orders in a phony insurance scam involving a trade association, 13 companies and at least 14 individuals. They fraudulently marketed "medical discount plans" as health insurance plans, authorities said.
And back in February, California regulators blasted an Arizona company that issued discount health plan cards to California consumers, accusing the firm of fraudulently claiming the products being sold were insurance and offering services that didn't exist.
So far, the FTC and law enforcement agencies in 24 states have filed a total of 54 lawsuits and regulatory actions to halt scammers trading in fake health plans.

Boehner: Obama's demanding surrender, GOP refuses
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner says President Barack Obama is demanding the GOP surrender the budget and debt limit fight unconditionally, but Republicans won't do it.
The Ohio Republican was responding to Obama's statement earlier saying he would discuss anything Republicans want, including proposed changes to "Obamacare," but not under the threat of "economic chaos." He urged Boehner to hold a vote immediately to reopen the government and to allow the country to borrow more money. Boehner is insisting instead that the two sides start negotiating now on the terms of any budget or debt agreement, saying attaching other measures is a long-held practice.
They spoke with the government's partial shutdown in its eighth day. An even bigger financial crisis looms next week when the government reaches its borrowing limit.

I 've been buying and selling on Amazon for a few years and can only say it is a VG organisation. But when I buy a book through them I don't always know what I'm getting. When a book is up for sale, there should be an Amazon table that gives its size, number of pages, graphics, condition, HB or SB. These are sometimes given by the seller, but on occasion I have expected more than I received. ie - I ordered a book but got what was little
more than a magazine for over £10 - poorly written it went straight in the bin - disappointed - John Richardson

Have never once had a problem with Amazon. Delivery times are clearly stated and usually things arrive a lot sooner. Warehouse deals are great - just picked up a hoover that currently retails in Argos for £200 for £84 - apparently it had 'slight' cosmetic damage - I certainly can't see any. Prices may not always be the cheapest on the web but delivery and customer service seems to be second to none. (read more)

I am not slow to deliver criticism where it is deserved BUT Amazon are virtually faultless in my opinion. I have bought so many things from them and on the rare occasion I have needed to return an item the service has been truly excellent. For a company this big that is quite an achievement in my view. So credit where it is due Amazon, keep up the great work. (read more)

To make this story short.. if you make the smallest mistake on your listing, or if a buyer thinks the items condition is "Used-Very Good" instead of your having listed it as "Used-Like New" (for example) then some buyers know how to exploit this and file an A to Z claim, once this is passed they get a full refund and Amazons policy states if you list an item incorrectly they don't have to return the item back to you. Amazon have no intention to protect the rights of the seller, no matter... (read more)

Typical example I bought a snorkel turned out it was a cheap Chinese quality non branded but because the seller listed it along with some good quality items you instinctively go for the bit cheaper 1 because it looks great in the picture. But when you actually get it delivered straight away I could tell id been ripped off. Amazon is good for some things electronics etc but you have to be very careful not to get tricked still.

I'm not ordering another thing from this company until it pays the taxes it owes the UK government. Make money here, pay your taxes here. It may be legal to transfer your tax liabilities to tax havens, but doesn't make it right. Slavery was legal once, but it wasn't right!! PAY YOUR TAXES. (read more)

Not bought off Amazon this year, for just this reason, let other small traders have your business, they will pay taxes (if they make a profit)

Been using amazon for years and they just get better all the time! They have a massive range and the prices are amazing. Delivery is nearly always quick on on-time. The only negative thing is Amazon prime, when buying items from resellers they are often not included the special deal that Prime offers (read more)

The best thing that I ever did was to open an account with Amazon. Everything you can possible need is always availabel. I hve used this service for a while now and feel very satisfied and happy with the service I receive. What I like most the item I wanted was availaable, the service I received was super efficient (as always), delivery items were received before the expected time of arrival. Because of the first class service I have recommended Amazon to all my friends and family. The site... (read more)
