I just wanted to say I've been there! It's sooo frustrating when you feel like you've tried everything and nothing is working. Ours actually got to the point where she viewed her crate as her indoor toilet and would go in there to pee if it was left open. A few things you could try would be taking the blanket out, making his section smaller (not sure how big you have it now, but this is what worked for us), or giving him some crate time while you're at home to see if he pees then as well? Good luck! I know it's tough, but just keep working at it and I'm positive it will get better Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Just two quick notes. First make sure whatever cleaner you are using is not ammonia based because sometimes that ammonia cleaner smell smells like urine and encourages dog marking. Use a pet cleaner like urinegone or something that is hydrogen peroxide based. Does he have a blanket or towel in there to lay down on? If so try pulling it out. They use them as diapers sometimes. Other than that he might have had a messy mother and not mind sitting in his own filth cause he is used to it. Or there is a possibility he has a bladder infection. Does he have urine control problems outside of the crate? |

And I am a bit confused on one point you made. You say he does not get any water in the morning. Im sure you don't mean that he drinks nothing between the night before and the next evening. Some where along the way he drinks before you put him in his crate and he probably does not relieve himself of that water before crating him again. Look into the timing one evening. When you notice him drink, let him drink his fill then take up the water and watch him. Time how long it is before he needs to go out. That should give you a general rule of thumb of how much time he needs between drinking and actually having to go pee. Putting pee on cue is also helpful for when you are in a hurry! |
Constantly Pees in Crate Hello everyone, I have a 4 month old male GSD who WILL NOT stop peeing in his crate! We have been working on crate training him since he was 10 weeks old. However, he is still peeing in his crate every day! He is only in his crate a maximum of 2.5 hours a day, it is sectioned off so he does not have any extra room, covered with a blanket to make it his den, he has plenty of kong toys, he does not get any water the morning he goes in, and he is well exercised. In addition, every time he pees in there, I make sure to clean the crate thoroughly so he does not continue to smell his urine and think it is acceptable behavior. I have no idea what else we can do for him. We've tried everything. We moved his crate down into our furnished basement so it is cooler for him with less noise from the street, and we also leave the TV on for him for comfort. Nothing seems to work for our little pup. He has no problem going into his crate either; he is more than willing to walk right in in the morning when we leave for work. Also, he does not sleep in his crate at night. He sleeps on his dog bed in our bedroom. He has never had an accident during the night, so I know he is able to hold it longer than a couple hours. Any help/suggestions is much appreciated, I have no idea what else to do for him! |

1992's Countdown to Extinction was an instant hit, debuting at #2 on the Billboard charts, thanks in part to the strong single "Symphony of Destruction," the first track in this three pack of headbangers.

This collection is rounded out by "Public Enemy No. 1" from the band's latest record, 2011's TH1RT3EN.

The band is currently touring North America, headlining the traveling festival Gigantour alongside Motörhead, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil.

Bowel Movements and Spinal Cord Injury
Fri, 01/28/2011 - 1:01pm | Mimi Lang
For people in wheelchairs, including those individuals who have had spinal cord injuries, private body functions, such as bowel movements, can become an issue. This is because the injury prevents muscles and nerves from working together properly. Fortunately, there are experts available who can help individuals with spinal cord injuries to deal with the issues that prevent them from being continent (i.e., being able to control the bowels and to avoid "accidents"). There are also certain tips that, when used, can improve your continence. If you decide to use any of these tips, please change only one thing at a time. Also, please consult an experienced health-care expert before making any drastic changes. To help your bowels work Timing is everything:
Be active:
Watch Your Diet: Drink up to two quarts of water a day.
Whether you rely on a wheelchair for mobility or not, the goal of bowel management is to provide people with regular, controlled bowel movements that are predictable and continent. Happy bowels = happy people. |

Vegan brie at home: A brie-like vegan cheese made from cashews replaces lingering brie craving. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) |
No longer.
I recently watched Miyoko Schinner, author of "Artisan Vegan Cheese" (Book Publishing Co., $19.95), make several kinds of cheese at a local vegetarian festival. I loved her results and decided to try making her vegan brie at home, not only because this is my favorite cheese but also because her version takes just minutes of actual work.
The result was scrumptious. And I'm not saying you would have to be insane to come up with Miyoko's recipe. Let's just say lucky for the rest of us that some of us are original thinkers.
Vegan brie
Prep: 9 minutes
Soak: 3 hours
Cook: 7 minutes
Rest: 2 days, 16 hours
Servings: about 16, one 6-inch round
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 3 hours, drained
1 cup water
½ cup plain unsweetened soy yogurt
½ cup refined coconut oil
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1 ¼ teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons tapioca flour or starch
1 teaspoon agar agar powder or flakes
1. Combine cashews, water, yogurt, coconut oil, nutritional yeast and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender; process until smooth. Transfer mixture into a large bowl, cover with a towel. Let sit at room temperature, 24-36 hours.
2. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan. Whisk in tapioca flour and agar; heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook until mixture is thick and pulls away from the side of the pan, about 5 minutes.
3. Line a 6-inch cake pan with cheesecloth; pour in hot cheese mixture. Spread mixture evenly; cover with cheesecloth. Let cool in refrigerator until firm, 4 hours. The inside will still be very soft.
4. Remove cheesecloth. Wet hands; sprinkle them with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub wet salt over cheese. Place cheese on a wire rack; let sit in a cool corner, 24 hours. Flip cheese over; let rest until it appears dry, 12 hours. Wrap in wax paper; store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed plastic bag.

Kincanon whiffs 12 to give RB series finale at Glenbard South
Bulldogs win resumption of suspended game from Thursday 4-3
GLEN ELLYN — Nearly four days had passed between the top and bottom half of the fifth inning of the series finale between Glenbard South and Riverside Brookfield, but RB ace Will Kincanon stayed on the mound for a complete game.
The game was suspended Thursday due to lightning in the area in the middle of the fifth inning with RB leading 4-2. Kincanon was in control then, and when play resumed on Monday he stayed in control to help the Bulldogs salvage one game from the Metro Suburban Conference series with a 4-3 victory.
Kincanon struck out 12 Raiders in the two-day, one-game performance. Resuming a game on the mound is a first for the RB junior.

This will prove to be a very exciting time for you as you consider joining the sorority community of Mount Union. We are thrilled to see that you are interested in exploring the opportunity of "Greek Life" on campus. The four sorority chapters are full of outstanding and dedicated women who are looking forward to meeting and getting to know you! The members of sorority life at Mount Union have found being part of the Greek community has created a once in a lifetime opportunity that has assisted in shaping them in to leaders, scholars and citizens. Sisterhood is something that lasts a lifetime – the bonds of sorority last long beyond your years as a student at the University. You will carry this experience and those bonds with you throughout your life. It is our hope that you will have the same positive experience that each of our members and alumnae have and that you too will benefit from all this unique opportunity has to offer to you!
What is "Recruitment"?
To join, or "affiliate" with a sorority at Mount Union interested students participate in the process called recruitment. The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership encourages all students to consider membership at any point during their collegiate experience. We strongly encourage you to look at each individual organization for the unique opportunity that it could provide for you. Think of each recruitment event as a way to learn much about the members of each organization, the values and purpose of each chapter, the benefits of joining a fraternity or sorority, and the commitments required for membership.
The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership requires first year students to sign up for recruitment, as it is a way to indicate your interest to our sorority chapters. The Mount Union Panhellenic Council organizes our recruitment process. If you would like to sign up for recruitment, please visit this site here.
Do we have to have a specific grade point average to join?
Academic excellence is one of the ideals upon which Greek organizations were founded, and our chapters support the premise that academic responsibilities should unquestionably receive the highest priority throughout the student's academic career at the University. To this end, fraternities and sororities require a minimum grade point average for both joining and for remaining a member throughout their time as an undergraduate student. It should also be noted that the all-fraternity and all-sorority grade point average has met or exceeded the all-campus grade point average every semester!
A student must be enrolled as a full-time at the University of Mount Union student.
In order to join a sorority at the University, a female student must have attained a minimum college grade point average as is required by the individual chapter:
- Alpha Chi Omega: 2.60 college grade point average; 3.00 high school grade point average
- Alpha Delta Pi: 2.60 college grade point average; 3.00 high school grade point average
- Alpha Xi Delta: 2.60 college grade point average; 3.00 high school grade point average
- Delta Sigma Tau:2.75 college grade point average; 3.00 high school grade point average
Should you have any questions about sorority life, please contact Heather Rice, vice president for Panhellenic Council at firstname.lastname@example.com or the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Intel has been talking to several news outlets about their Light Peak technology at CES. While we all knew Intel was going to push this standard in favor of USB 3.0, this is the first time they have mentioned actual finished implementations. Previous estimates said the technology was likely to be ready sometime during 2012; but there is a bit of fine print in this announcement.

Well, Mark didn't suggest for the IPMI card to behave like a WOL one, just for the power needed to function to be obtained the same way. The connections to the power/reset switches would take care of turning on and off the computer. > some of the bits that enable WOL in the NIC are set by the OS during > the boot sequence, not by the BIOS. Some network cards (like 3Com Cyclone and Tornado) have an internal EEPROM which can contain a set of commands to be executed upon powering up (well, from the point of view of the card, which might mean that the computer as a whole is still in a low power mode); these commands could set the card in WOL mode, IIRC - it's been 3-4 years since I looked at this... Something very similar could be done in the BIOS of the mainboards with on-board NICs (like most NForce 4 ones), as there is already known which bits at which addresses have to be set. Of course, the BIOS writers would have to be convinced that this is a good idea... or maybe OpenBIOS could help. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu at IWR.Uni-Heidelberg.De

Country music legend Kitty Wells has died, her family confirmed Monday. Wells, known as the Queen of Country Music, passed away from complications of a stroke Monday at her home. She was 92.
"She led the way for all of us and I feel very grateful and honored to have known her. She was always the most gracious, kind, and lovely person to be around. I so appreciated her being a part of my life and a mentor to me," Wells' friend Barbara Mandrell said in a statement to Us Weekly magazine.
Wells' career took off in 1952 when she recorded the number 1 hit "It Wasn't God Who Make Honky Tonk Angels." The song made Wells the first female country music artist to have a number 1 hit on the country charts. Her other hits include "Paying for That Back Street Affair," "Hey Joe," "Release Me" and "I Can't Stop Loving You."
Twenty-five of Wells' songs reached became top 10 hits. She recorded 50 albums and won numerous awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Academy of Country Music's Pioneer Award. Wells was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976.
Wells is survived by two of her three children.

I´ve gotten to the point where there is usually only one thing that makes me "hesitate" when speaking dutch. When I am answering people I run into the problem that you have to immediately get used to using the "daar/er/hier + preposition.
Hence when I answer "I look forward to it", is the correct answer "Daar kijk ik er uit naar"?
Similarly, if someone wants to meet me at a bar, would it be correct to say "Ja, Daar heb ik iets (or "ergens??" van gehoord" (yes, i think i´ve heard of that place". (I know you could just say "ja, ik ken het" but I am trying not to limit myself to simple constructions.)
Because it is wrong in dutch to just say "ik kijk uit het naar" or "ik heb iets van het (or should I say "hem" if it is a "de" word i.e. de kroeg") gehoord".
Also, can I also use the "daar" further on in the sentence i.e. "ik heb er/daar ergens/iets van gehoord?" or "ik kijk ernaar uit"??...which would be the more common position for er/daar?

Nail It! BY SHAWN HAMMOND
If you're bored enough to read or care even a modicum about what I say here on a semi-regular basis, you may recall that I've evangelized about celebrating your uniqueness ["Fly Your Freak Flag High," September 2011], shaking off the chains of preciosity ["Banishing Gollum (or Discovering Your Inner Punk)," August 2011] and simplifying your rig to get more sounds with your hands ["To Stomp, or Not to Stomp," November 2011]. In retrospect, I guess all those diatribes have highlighted various facets of a general curmudgeonliness that's coming over me as I get older. Naturally, I think it's a healthy crustiness, but you may have a more unbiased viewpoint.
Anyway, one of the drawbacks I've encountered in my general move toward more hands-on elicitation of primal rawness in my playing is that … well, I was busting nails.
Yeah, you read right. Nails.
The problem began three orfour years ago, when I switchedstring gauges to get a tougher,tauter sound and tamp downon the string warble I got whenI dug in for heavy riffs. Movingup to .011s fixed the problem,but soon a couple of other evolu-tions in my approach changedeverything again. First, thinkingabout the range of sounds thatJeff Beck and Brian Setzer—twoof my favorite players—get withhardly any gear inspired me todecrease my stomp-able distrac-tions and try to wring moresounds from my bare hands.Soon after that, I acquiredan amp whose unadulteratedtones were so bloody titillatingthat I felt less need to augmentthem—an amp that enabled meto dial in a single sound andeither play light as a feather forglorious clean tones, or attackferociously for nasty, in-your-facesounds. More recently, I've takento flipping around my heavy,textured-grip nylon picks to geteven more bristling tones outof my axes—which sometimesunconsciously spurs me to rammy picking hand into the stringseven harder. I know, I know …my inner punk is out of control.
Although not indestructible, my nail treatment lasts through a whole week and a long band jam, puts my sound literally at my fingertips, and isn't annoyingly distracting. Here, my nails had gotten a tad too long and ripped near the end of a long band rehearsal, but half of what you see is two layers of topcoat—imagine the damage if they'd been unprotected!
those teenage years of listening to Eddie Van Halen and Eric Johnson. But there's been a pretty significant drawback for the keratin plates at the end of my picking hand's index, middle, and ring fingers: They've not increased their gauges one iota to keep up! And the result isn't pretty. More importantly, it does not feel good. If you've ever had a nail detach, you know what I mean. It doesn't even have to come off that much for your finger to scream every time you touch a string.
I've known for years, ofcourse, that hardcore fingerstyleguitarists have pretty drastic fin-gernail-care regimens—routinesout, we already had everythingI needed. My loverwoman justhad to sit me down and teachme how to do my nails.
sacrifice the sounds I'm totally digging, or figure something else out. Given PG's slogan—"The relentless pursuit of tone"—I think you can guess which I chose. But as I thought of how to avoid pain and still get my sound, I had to come to terms with the fact that I'm either too vain or too lazy to put that kind of time and money into something I know will bug the living hell out of me every second I'm not playing. Yeah, I like it au naturel, baby.
So I showed my wife my owies, told her about freako fingerstylists' nails, and asked for help figuring out a solution that wouldn't feel weird, take forever, and cost too much. Turns

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Samuel Johnson penned these words in 1775 and, like most insights that strike a note of truth, its accuracy continues to this day.
Johnson was addressing the skeezy kind of person who endeavours to mask their own ambitions by projecting them onto the desires of a nation. Johnson had plenty of examples on which to base his observation. From Egyptian pharaohs to Greek generals to Roman and Chinese emperors to Russian czars, history is awash with these characters. Louis XIV cornered the market when he declared, "L'etat c'est moi" - he was the state, and thus whatever he wanted was in the best interest of France.
What these scoundrels and manipulative egomaniacs understood was that notions of patriotism and nationalism are powerful tools. Patriotism is a force that can mobilize large numbers of people to make extreme sacrifices for a given cause; all you have to do is paint a flag on the problem.
Tens of thousands of Canadians marched to their deaths in the Boer War and First World War even though we had no real stake in the outcome of either conflict. Why? For king and country of course.
The Second World War brought more of the same, but at least Canada had a choice to get involved in that one. Even if we had taken a pass when Britain declared war after Germany invaded Poland, Canadians would be drawn into the war when the Japanese attacked Canadian troops guarding Hong Kong a year later.
These international conflicts indeed required involvement on a national scale, and patriotic fervor was the ideal tool to motivate the masses. But patriotism is also a double-edged sword - just as it can inspire the masses to come together, it also makes a dandy flag-shaped shroud that can be draped over unseemly activities. The conquistadors destroyed the Aztec and Incan empires while citing a love of Spain, a convenient tale to cover up the real motive: their passion for gold. Indigenous tribes in North America died by the thousands thanks to European diseases as Britain, France, Spain and, later, the United States raced to plant their respective flags on all corners of the continent.
The Cold War of the 20th century managed to blur the patriotic lines considerably. Was it really "for the good of the country" when governments tested psychedelic drugs on mental patients? Why did the superpowers sponsor coups to overthrow legitimate governments that didn't see things the way the U.S./ USSR wanted them to? Why can't you buy Coca-Cola in Havana? Tell us again why western nations boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games? And why the Soviet bloc returned the favour four years later in Los Angeles?
Growing up in Canada in the later stages of the Cold War, patriotism was something to be suspicious of. Canada, aside from lending our psychiatric patients to the Cold War cause, stayed on the fringes for the most. But that does not mean patriotism was dead. Bobby Clarke broke Valeri Kharlamov's ankle with a vicious slash and we had no problem with it because he was a good Canadian kid doing everything he could to help his country win. Or more famously, Ben Johnson went from Canadian hero to displaced Jamaican in 9.79 seconds one evening at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
Since then, however, the patriotic skepticism has been waning considerably. My yardstick is every July 1 when Canada Day festivities take place around the country. I don't recall Dominion Day/ Canada Day being that big a deal when I was growing up. It was a holiday and a good time to go camping, but I don't remember any big civic parties taking place.
In the last 20 years, however, Canada Day has become an increasingly bigger deal as Generation Whatever has embraced the Canadian spirit in a way people my age were leery of doing. Massive bashes attract tens of thousands of people all decked out in miniature Canadian flags and temporary maple leaf tattoos. New Canadians are sworn in by citizenship judges as onlookers cheer, people of all ethnic origin chow down on deep fried pancakes marketed as beaver tails while pet owners show off their dogs' red and white dyed fur.
The flag waving and national chest thumping is everything we used to mock the Americans for in the 1970s and '80s. And yet it's an inspiring thing to behold. I was amazed at the crowds who packed the streets of Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics, turning an international sporting festival into a Canada Day celebration in February.
This is the good kind of patriotism, something that is uplifting and provides Canadians with a sense of unity without the usual spark of sticks, gloves and skates.
But at the same time, the wariness I learned at a young age is not misplaced. There remains the potential for this spirit to be manipulated for political gain - such as hanging our hats on a British military victory 200 years ago...

OSSINING, N.Y. – When Ossining brothers David and Bradley Morrison look at a picture of themselves, they can spot several differences in how they look. But for almost everyone else, it's hard to find a difference between the twins.
The Morrisons won a bronze medal at the largest annual gathering of twins and multiples in the world at last weekend's 37th annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. Continuing the theme of twos, the medal for "Most Alike Males, ages 27 to 43" was the second for the 33-year-old twins in their second appearance at the festival. The pair beat out dozens of sets of multiples at the event that hosted more than 2,000 sets of twins and multiples. David and Bradley were judged based on their appearance, mannerisms and personality.
David said it's not difficult for him to find more than a few differences.
"I'm married with five kids and a stay-at-home dad while Bradley is single and works at Ossining High School," David said. "I also really like avocados and he hates them."
Bradley said there are more similiarities than he can count, but the differences are on the surface, too.
"Most twins seem to have pretty similar personalities when you talk to them and that was obvious at the festival," Bradley said. "They would come up to us and say 'you look so much like your brother' and I would think no way everyone looks more alike than we do. I don't think any twins think they look alike."
Bradley said the duo gets questions and comments constantly from people they meet about how much they look alike or if they can read each other's thoughts.
"I think all twins get these questions a lot by almost everyone they meet," Bradley said. "It can be hard to establish your own identity. So it was great to go to a place where that kind of thing was celebrated and make connections with people who are going through that same thing."
The pair each dressed as Superman for the superhero-themed weekend. They say they don't have extra sensory perception or super abilities, but they can both recall a time where they shared an unexplainable bond.
"People ask about that thinking if they punch him that I can feel it but that's never been the case," Bradley said, before adding, "except maybe for this one time."
The two were still young and David fell ill and had to go to the hospital. Even though he hadn't seen his brother for most of the day, Bradley recalls having a very strong feeling that something was wrong. He asked the boys' mom several times and they later found out that at that moment David had a seizure.
"That was pretty weird," David said, laughing. "We have a really good connection I guess. I mean I know you don't want to put us on a team together because we're really good at reading each other."
Along with other activities, the Twins Days Festival features 64 different contests with categories for Most Alike and Least Alike twins, Oldest and Youngest, as well as farthest distance traveled, according to a news release. The town of Twinsburg was named after Aaron and Moses Wilcox, early twin settlers who married sisters, were stricken with the same ailment and died the same day, according to the release.
The Morrison twins said they highly recommend other sets of multiples and their family members attend the festival.
"We didn't realize before we went, but it's more like a second family," David Morrison said. "There's a connection we all have I guess. While we were there, one set of guy twins married a set of girl twins. It's pretty great."

MICHIGAMME -- The Moonshine Art Gallery isn't on a major highway, nor is it in one of the U.P.'s larger communities. You really have to look to find it, and that's what makes the shop a FOX UP Hidden Treasure.
Since opening 10 years ago, the gallery has gone from representing 10 artists to over 40.
Moonshine shows a variety of modern art, including metals, sculpture, watercolor, and oil paintings.
But the pieces do have one thing in common: each has a connection to the Upper Peninsula.
"I have art from a lot of very different professional artists. Now some of these professional artists are self taught or they went to university or they have taught art," says Friederike Roach, owner of Moonshine Art Gallery.
The gallery is open every day except Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment. To make an appointment, please call (906) 323- 6546.

EDMONTON - With zoning approved for the redevelopment of the former Molson site west of downtown, heritage advocates are hoping the century-old brewery building and another structure of similar vintage will be preserved.
Development drawings presented to council earlier this week show part of the facade of the fortress-like brewery kept intact. But the site owners, Sun Life and First Capital Realty, have not yet applied for a historic designation at either the provincial or municipal level, meaning the historic buildings have no formal protection.
"As minister of culture, I'd totally support that it should be designated a provincial historic resource," Alberta Culture Minister Heather Klimchuk said this week.
A building owner typically applies for a site to be placed on the Alberta Register of Historic Places, although requests sometimes come from organizations such as historical societies.
Once a building is found to be of provincial historic significance, the minister may give it a historic designation — a category that entitles owners to apply for up to $200,000 per year in matching grants for conservation work.
Only in "exceptional" circumstances has the province designated a building without the owner's interest, Klimchuk said. The province did that in 2001 when it gave Edmonton's Rossdale site a designation, despite objections of then-owner, Epcor.
"We don't normally step in without the owner seeking that designation," Klimchuk said.
The city department dealing with historic resources takes a similar approach.
"The city's policy is about encouraging owners to do the right thing. It's very difficult for the city to designate against the owner's wishes," said Robert Geldart, the city's principal heritage planner.
"We're doing everything in our power to encourage the owner to designate. They're not saying no and they're not saying yes ... They're still looking at the two buildings as being part of the development package, so I'm encouraged by that," he said.
In addition to the brewery, an administration building constructed in 1926 sits on the site.
Geldart said the brewery is "not an easy fix" because giant vats remain in the industrial building and it has already gone through various phases of work. It has few windows.
The city will pay up to 50 per cent of restoration costs for a designated protected historic site, Geldart said. He noted the Kelly-Ramsey building downtown is receiving $1.7 million of city money, which is being used to preserve the building's facade as a new office space is built.
Geldart acknowledged that some critique "facadism" for not keeping the "pure" essence of a heritage building, but he thinks some of those projects can work well.
The brick castle brewery was built in 1913 by local hotelier, politician and businessman William Henry Sheppard, whose Edmonton Brewing and Malting Company opened a new brewery on a two-hectare site in the rail yards.
Sheppard brought in a renowned Chicago architect and engineer to design the building. The brew-castle was built of local red brick, steel and reinforced concrete. The plant went through several owners before being sold to Molson in 1958.
The last brewery workers were sent home in 2007. The lot has sat empty since, while the Crosstown Motors business next door was also shuttered.
The rezoning approved Monday is for commercial, highrise residential, and parks on the site.
The plans were criticized by community groups who said the designs are too car-centric and don't work creatively with a prime piece of real estate located just north of Edmonton's densest neighbourhood.
City council approved the rezoning application based on current plans, with councillors Ben Henderson, Don Iveson, and Linda Sloan voting against the proposal.
First Capital Realty could not be reached Friday afternoon for comment.

Thoracic Aortic Disease
The Barnes-Jewish & Washington University Heart & Vascular Center offers specialized care for patients with thoracic aortic diseases. There are several diseases of the thoracic aorta which can weaken the wall of this major blood vessel. These are known as thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA),
aortic dissections
and aortic ulcerations. In our center, a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of thoracic aortic disease is offered, involving specialists from cardiac and vascular surgery, cardiology, medical genetics and radiology.
Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be related to hypertension, bicuspid aortic valves, inflammatory conditions, trauma or an underlying genetic disorder, such as
Marfan syndrome
Loeys-Dietz aneurysm syndrome
, Turner syndrome,
familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection syndrome
, and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. Successful management requires expert diagnosis and appropriate treatment and follow-up. Proper therapy can often be life-saving.
Understanding Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
The heart pumps blood directly into the thoracic aorta, and the aorta then acts as a pipe to deliver blood to other blood vessels throughout the body. Weakening of the wall of this blood vessel causes the aorta to bulge, and this bulge is known as a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). If the blood vessel wall becomes severely weakened it can burst or dissect (tear). Aortic dissection and aortic rupture may be fatal and require emergency care at a center with expertise in the care of patients with these conditions. It is important to recognize and treat thoracic aortic aneurysm before a life-threatening complication occurs.
Most thoracic aortic aneurysms do not cause symptoms and are not detectable on a routine physical examination. Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be uncovered by chest X-ray, but imaging such as echocardiogram, CT scan and MRI scan are necessary for complete evaluation. Aneurysms may cause chest or back pain which could be a sign that the wall is too weak to support the pressure of the blood inside. Aneurysms associated with pain may pose a particular risk of rupture and should be evaluated promptly by a specialist.
Treating Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in the treatment of aortic aneurysms. Some small aneurysms do not require surgical repair but may require treatment with medications to lower blood pressure. If surgery is not necessary, the aneurysm is routinely checked by echocardiograms, CT and MRI scans to monitor its growth. To prevent the rupture of a large aneurysm, the weakened wall needs to be replaced with stronger tubing.
There are several different options for thoracic aneurysm repair. An
open aneurysm repair
is performed through a large incision in the chest, and the surgeon directly replaces the diseased portion of the aorta with a fabric-covered tube which is sewn into place.
Endovascular aneurysm repair
uses smaller incisions in the lower abdomen or groin, and the tubing is advanced into the aneurysm using x-rays to direct the surgery. Not every patient can be treated with an endovascular aneurysm repair. However, compared to open surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair often results in quicker recovery following surgery. Endovascular repair may be helpful in treating high-risk patients who cannot be treated with open aneurysm repair.
Thoracic aortic aneurysms are uncommon, and not every surgeon has significant experience in repairing them. The
surgical outcomes are best and the risks are lowest in centers such as the Barnes-Jewish & Washington University Heart & Vascular Center
. Our cardiac and vascular surgeons have extensive endovascular experience, successfully performing procedures with this new and evolving technology. We have participated in the evaluation of all approved devices and continue to work closely with device manufacturers to improve the designs of the next generation of devices. As one of the leading heart and vascular centers in the country, we also offer the opportunity for patients to participate in the latest endovascular trials. Our center also participates in the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection and the Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Registry in Marfan Syndrome.

Interview with DesiCrew [Rural BPO] Founder - Saloni Malhotra
DesiCrew Solutions is a rural BPO company incubated by RTBI of IIT- Madras. Several stories have been posted on NGOPost about their unique approach of taking call centers to the villages. Here is an interview of the founder, Saloni Malhotra.
The real highlights from this interview, besides the success of Desicrew, which is a profitable enterprise today, are the challenges Saloni overcame to create desicrew. Quoting from the article -
Saloni had given up a job in Delhi and migrated to Chennai in 2005. With little local knowledge and even lesser business experience, it was a tough ride convincing corporates about a 'rural' back office meeting strict SLAs. Interacting with the people in the villages, understanding the culture and their mindset towards a job and making them share her same vision, took a lot of effort, but was overcome with a strong passion to make an impact.
I like lurking in the dark alleys of the web and bragging about my latest finds.

I suck at multitasking, as do most other people if they are honest with themselves. It's been proven that you can't truly multi-task. Maybe you can juggle things well, but how much less are you getting done by doing many things with only half (or less) of yourself present? I've written before about how multitasking burned me... literally... but this time I didn't even know what was happening until it was over. At the beginning of August, Kelsey and I attended the Texas Style Council Conference in Austin, Texas, to speak to a group of women about budgeting. It was an awesome experience (our first time speaking on that topic to a group) and we were away from Rooney for three nights. It was our first time away for that long. The whole "being away from your baby overnight" thing has been a progression for us. Last December it was one night away to KC for some Christmas shopping. Then in March it was a birthday trip to Minneapolis for two nights. And then in August, three nights away to Austin, Texas. Why It's Important to Get Away I think it's super important for parents to spend time away from their children. I think it's beneficial for both the parents and the children, and here are a few reasons why:
When We Were Away When we dropped her off and tried to say goodbye, she didn't even take her eyes off the tractor she was trying to ride. She was busy. She's a toddler. Despite us telling her multiple times on the ride and as we were preparing to leave, she didn't comprehend what it meant for us to be gone for three nights. She also had plenty of other things to do keeping up with her three older cousins. When we were gone for those three nights, I didn't really think about Rooney too much, either. I knew she was in good hands, and we did get some video and text updates a few times that reassured us that she was having a blast. It was like she was at summer camp. Kelsey and I had a few moments of down time where we both agreed it would be great to have Rooney with us just to squeeze for a minute, but all in all we knew the time away was good for both of us. But every good trip comes to an end, and sure enough as we found ourselves done with all of the conference festivities, we longed to be teleported home and skip the 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. travel time. But, we had to wait. So I distracted myself with podcasts, blog posts and Angry Birds. Back Together Again When we finally met Kelsey's sister in the DSW Shoes parking lot for the handoff, it finally hit me, like a ton of bricks. I missed my daughter so very much. I started to get butterflies of anticipation in my gut as I waited for them to pull up. It was like my heart was storing up all the emotions and love I had for her while I was gone. The ones that I usually get to show her every day. I was so excited to squeeze her. It was an amazing feeling. And as the following week went on, I found myself loving and appreciating my role as a father so much more than before the trip. Our time away allowed for some great perspective on how lucky I am to be Rooney's father. It's an important role for sure, and I've been trying not to take it for granted since we've been back. P.S. We don't get too much time away from parenting responsibilities on a weekly basis. I think it's because we don't have family in town. I know some others who get a shorter time between recharging by taking a weekly date night and getting a babysitter.

About the ProjectThe SmartHouse/SmartGrid project sets out to validate and test how ICT-enabled collaborative technical-commercial aggregations of Smart Houses provide an essential step to achieve the needed radically higher levels of energy efficiency in Europe.
Stamatis Karnouskos
Vincenz-Priessnitz-Str. 1
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Our MissionImproving energy efficiency, increasing the penetration of renewable energies, and diversifying and decentralising Europe's energy mix - these are the three goals that the SmartHouse/SmartGrid project is heading towards. ICT will play a key role in the transformation of the electricity sector, enabling it to cope with more decentralized and renewable generation efficiently. The energy distribution of today only knows one direction from few centralised power plants to millions of users, while the energy distribution of the future will be closer to a community based model, with energy and information flowing from thousands of decentralised power systems to millions of users. The SmartHouse/SmartGrid concepts will built on
On this basis, the project will define a roadmap to mass application. Only by considering the aggregated network level of smart houses managed by intelligent networked ICT for scale and flexibility, one is able to achieve the quantum leap in energy efficiency and sustainability that the EU's "20% by 2020" objectives call for. Germany, The Netherlands, Greece: three field testsThe SmartHouse/SmartGrid technology will be field tested in three different countries, delivering proof of concept of a specific aspect of the new technology:
DistinctionThe SmartHouse/SmartGrid project has been one of the finalists for the Best ICT4EE Project Award 2010, selected out of 39 research projects. |

-- -- force today different subject now with cyber warfare and the banking industry we have new developments following months of claiming responsibility for cyber attacks on some of the biggest banks.
In the United States the -- some cyber fighters are now claiming -- of halted those attacks after controversial video was.
Removed from YouTube -- We have Frank Keating with this former governor of Oklahoma -- currently the CEO and president of the American.
Bankers association video -- and depiction of the Prophet Mohamed and it's off YouTube now but the idea that these attacks have.
Have been halted supposedly what do you make of -- governor.
Welcome obviously a -- is always -- -- but these can't be on our relentless.
I mean this is really -- -- usual new world -- and we have.
No need for an army navy or air force we have somebody behind a computer criminal organizations state sponsored.
Individual just have -- and make mischief that can literally -- deny access to financial institutions around the world.
And even go deeper the more sophisticated they become.
And that's of course -- sophisticated state sponsor terrorism so a worrisome development this is a nice pause but.
Who knows it -- last while they last a little while yet but there are other -- and others out there that mean us real harm.
Well that's the thing you talk to law enforcement people about it I think if Mike Baker the CIA guy that former CIA that we have on all the time me tell you that this cyber warfare this is the thing.
This is what you really have to watch out for I wonder what your involvement as American Bankers Association.
Try to prevent it is -- any direct involvement are.
-- whether were at the leading edge.
The technology.
Application and obviously.
Partnering worth individuals in the private sector and the government sector to be ahead of the curve know what's going on and respond accordingly.
The private sector I think has its act together.
We -- met last week with two of our major CEOs with people from all of the various trades around the table.
Who have expertise in this area the problem though Connell.
Quite -- and I can say this is someone who is involved.
In three cabinet departments and let's say the drug war we have some years ago the president appointed the vice president as the person to coordinate.
All of these various agencies report to somebody else -- when the president says here's what you do people say yes our.
And we need that in a cyber security space there may be and -- -- an executive order from President Obama hopefully someone will be in charge.
That person can coordinate -- and that's what we're waiting for not getting -- -- -- -- getting enough.
Leadership is the point.
What we're getting good partnership but what we need is leadership the government -- obviously is the lead space.
But to do it likely did in the drug war makes good sense -- to present -- point let's say sector of Homeland Security secretary of the treasury.
Everybody were forced everybody else in effect salutes that person.
And -- we have an opportunity for the private sector that too many top secret clearances to coordinate share information and protect America.

" RE: Sony's PlayMemories Home, the bundled Windows-only software, does not have a color tone adjustment tool."
Sony's PMH DOES HAVE a tone curve adjustment tool and the typical features one finds useful for minor edits. The older Sony software for the TX series also had this feature.
The older TX10 took some nice panoramas in high-res mode without the banding (not always) so it's surprising to hear it was such a consistent problem with the TX30 and that they hadn't fixed the issue since it first cropped up.

Be sure to use large, mature spinach with thick stems, not bagged baby spinach, to make this salad. The leaves' hardy texture and earthy flavor will stand up to the pungent vinaigrette. Continue...
This satisfying rice dish is great served alongside roast pork or pasteles.
A rich pan sauce of reduced red wine, armagnac, and black truffle butter adorns seared duck breasts for an impressive holiday dish that's also surprisingly simple to make.
Coconut milk gives these donuts from Seattle's Top Pot donut shop a super-moist interior and a gratifying crust.
Pungent Stilton cheese and malty stout beer enrich the filling in these classic Lancashire meat pies.
Roasting cauliflower in a very hot oven gives it an appealing crisp-tender texture and toasty flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart tahini dipping sauce in this dish.
This recipe is based on one from Gunilla von Heland, a food editor in Stockholm. We found that steeping the saffron in vodka helps boost the flavor of the spice throughout the cake.
This curried chicken casserole (from Atlanta's Watershed) is a Southern Lowcountry classic.
If you can't find sour tapioca starch to make this Brazilian cheese bread, sweet tapioca starch will yield equally delicious results.
We adapted a simple recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything to make these delicate French cookies. Sugar-dusted and flaky and with a toothsome bite, they're also a great way to use up leftover puff pastry.
This Alsatian dish of white-fleshed fish and wine-braised sauerkraut comes with a creamy riesling sauce.
Ariane Daguin, proprietor of the wonderful D'Artagnan Foods, came to the SAVEUR test kitchen to show us how to make this simple recipe of seared duck breast in a sauce of shallot, red wine, armagnac, and truffle butter. It's perfect for an elegant dinner party or—considering the spectacle of the flambéed sauce—a seriously high-drama weeknight supper.
We get dozens of cookbooks each week at SAVEUR, and every month we share our favorite new releases—books that, through one avenue of greatness or another, have earned a place on our over-stuffed shelves. Our picks for December cover a diverse array of subjects, from recipe-driven books filled with nourishing breakfasts to the history of food in American art.
Sweet, succulent snow crab adds body and delicate flavor to everything from cheesy gratin to linguine in a bright, spicy white wine sauce. Here are 6 recipes featuring this luxurious ingredient from the sea.

if something not allows you to do how can you do ?
Hello abelgunawan and welcome to sm.org! :)
I use 000webhost as one of mine test sites and SMF installs fine.
May I ask you why you want to install SMF 1.0.6? That is a very outdated version. If you are starting "fresh" (i.e. it's a new forum) I'd suggest you to use SMF 2.0.2.
Found just now, not that I like video tutorials (so I just quickly skipped here and there), but others may do:

Cleopatra: A LifeThe Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer brings to life the most intriguing woman in the history of the world: Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. Her palace shimmered with onyx, garnets, and gold, but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. Above all else, Cleopatra was a shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. Though her life spanned fewer than forty years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world. She was married twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against the first when both were teenagers. She poisoned the second. Ultimately she dispensed with an ambitious sister as well; incest and assassination were family specialties. Cleopatra appears to have had sex with only two men. They happen, however, to have been Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, among the most prominent Romans of the day. Both were married to other women. Cleopatra had a child with Caesar and--after his murder--three more with his protégé. Already she was the wealthiest ruler in the Mediterranean; the relationship with Antony confirmed her status as the most influential woman of the age. The two would together attempt to forge a new empire, in an alliance that spelled their ends. Cleopatra has lodged herself in our imaginations ever since. Famous long before she was notorious, Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Shakespeare and Shaw put words in her mouth. Michelangelo, Tiepolo, and Elizabeth Taylor put a face to her name. Along the way, Cleopatra's supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff here boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order. Rich in detail, epic in scope, Schiff 's is a luminous, deeply original reconstruction of a dazzling life. |

Wedged between art galleries and furniture boutiques in the Design District sits a nondescript white warehouse that comes alive one Saturday a month with local artists, jewelry designers and fashion mavens.
Dubbed The District Factory, the maze-like space pops up during the Design District and Wynwood Second Saturdays Art Walks, when between 30 and 40 local designers set up booths to sell their handiwork. A DJ spins club-style beats as a film projection of a local artist's work plays on the wall behind him. Meanwhile, a pop-up restaurant Phuc Yea! (pronounced fook-yay) serves up Vietnamese finger foods like gỏi cuốn, or summer rolls, rounding out the Saturday night vibe.
At the core of The District Factory's mission is curating fashion-forward designs that "you can't get down the street at another boutique," said Grace Castro, who created the monthly event in April with fellow designer Chelsea Conklin.
"Art Walk is all about art, but who doesn't love shopping?" Castro said. "And when you can't afford a $5,000 piece of art, you can walk away with a cool ring that's original and unique."
Castro and Conklin were first introduced by The District Factory's property owners, who recognized the two shared a vision. Castro and Conklin each produced market-style events at the Palm Lot — the building in which The District Factory is held — where local artists and designers could sell their products. Castro ran Arboleda, a vintage and handmade crafts festival, and Conklin created Launch Arte Market, where local artists, designers and entrepreneurs could sell their goods. The two now run their own separate joint venture businesses, UP HEIGHTS and PLAT4M respectively, specializing in creating outlets for emerging artists and entrepreneurs.
The participating vendors at The District Factory enjoy meeting new customers, as well as interacting with fellow designers and artists.
"It's not that competition feel — I like that togetherness feel," said Aria Nero-Seder, a jewelry designer. "The District Factory is trying to build a more creative Miami."
Here are a few of the participants:
Aria Neror
Everyone at The District Factory has a story.
For Nero-Seder, 38, of Miami Shores, her namesake jewelry collection Aria Nero was a result of recognizing her creative abilities after being involved in the retail industry for more than 10 years. Nero-Seder left her management position at the Barney's CO-OP in Miami Beach about six years ago to become a "mompreneur" and give birth to her daughter. Now, she designs full-time and does freelance retail work, like helping the shops at the Biltmore Hotel with merchandising.
Nero-Seder said her pieces "stand out." Her necklaces and bracelets create a nostalgic feel with vintage chains, old brooches and other materials she finds at garage sales and thrift and vintage stores.
Nero-Seder's collection of pieces ranging from $30 to $500 is featured at the Biltmore, local boutiques and the Miami Art Museum, where most of the higher-end pieces are for sale. "I'm a designer, I'm the assembly line, I make everything, I design everything," she said. "You have pieces that are handcrafted and unfortunately you can't compete and sell them for $20."

The difficult, sometimes frustrating, often moving, occasionally brilliant epic poem The Cantos is Ezra Pound's most significant contribution to world literature. The poem, though, is rarely read all the way through, and Pound is better remembered for his short poems, his early theoretical writings and manifestoes, and his turbulent personal history. This is unfortunate, because in The Cantos are some of the most beautiful and powerful passages in twentieth-century poetry. Written over more than fifty years, the poem is a document of the rise, reign, and fall of a literary style, a generation of artists, and a way of life. Pound was perhaps the central figure in the development of modernism, not only in literature but in fiction, drama, sculpture, and even music, and in The Cantos so many of his enduring concerns and artistic innovations are present, both as prefigurations and reminiscences of the heady days of the 1920s and 1930s. Although the poem is erratic, difficult, and at times willfully obscure, it merits careful attention and has much to reward the patient reader.

Major and Minor Requirements
Curricular Programs Bucknell's strong record of preparing people for graduate school and for careers in the traditional geological professions has recently been complemented by our evolution toward environmental geosciences. For that reason we now offer four different majors, a B.A. and a B.S. in Geology, and a B.A. and a B.S. in Environmental Geology. A B.S. degree is usually appropriate for a person who clearly plans a career in professional geoscience, especially if that career involves some further study in graduate school. For students who are less certain about their goals, or who wish to double major (a major in geology and a second major in another department), the B.A. degree might be more appropriate. |
The lists below outline the four majors, but the University Catalog should be consulted for notes about additions, exceptions and alternatives.
Bucknell Geology Curricula Six Core Courses:
B.S. in Geology (11.5 Geology courses)
B.S. in Environmental Geology (11.5 Geology courses)
B.A. in Geology (8 Geology courses)
B.A. in Environmental Geology
