Brooks County law enforcement charge teen in cat burning incident
Authorities charged a Georgia teen with aggravated cruelty to animals following the burning death of two cats and the disfiguration of a third.
Brooks County Sheriff Mike Dewey announced on Monday that 17-year-old Cory Ward, of Brooks County has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
Ward is accused in the deaths of two cats and the disfiguration of a third cat in the area of Eagle Run Trailer Park.
On December 20, 2008, area resident Jim Ragan found two cats that were severely burned.
Both cats were taken to Baytree Animal Hospital.
On December 22, 2008, Mr. Ragan found a third cat that had also been burned and had two broken legs.
Two of the cats were taken to the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital where they later died.
The third cat continues to improve at home with surgery scheduled in the next few weeks.
"After extensive investigation and follow-up on leads provided to us by concerned citizens we were able to solve this case," said Sheriff Mike Dewey. "We appreciate the many individuals who came forward with information and offers to help with the medical costs and the reward money."
Sheriff Dewey quickly condemned cruelty against animals.
"Individuals who commit such heinous acts as the burning of these innocent animals, if not caught and held accountable for these acts may go on to commit more serious crimes in the future," he said.
Aggravated animal cruelty is a felony and carries a penalty of one to five years in prisonand a maximum fine of $15,000 plus restitution.
Currently, medical costs for the treatment of the three cats have totalled almost $16,000.

How is the work you are doing helping patients living with HIV/AIDS get to "zero" pain (physical, emotional, social and spiritual)?
This was the question posed to 15 grassroot palliative care and hospice organisations throughout Africa, funded by The True Colors Trust small grants programme. APCA appreciates the efforts of each of these organisations in sharing these stories, highlighting their work and the difference it makes in benefitting HIV/AIDS patients in their communities.
Representing palliative care initiatives in 10 countries, listed alphabetically, these inspirational stories reflect the human face behind the way palliative care touches the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS across Africa, helping them get to "zero" pain, holistically.
A journey starts with a single step: Comfort and healing
Pabalelong Hospice, Botswana
Pain is something that shatters one into pieces and it can unsettle the core of one's being.
At Pabalelong Hospice we have heard such cries of pain. Some of our patients saying:
"I have become untouchable due to AIDS;"
"God also will refuse me entry into heaven since I am infected" "My body pains 24 hours a day;"
"No one touches me without gloves;"
"My family has thrown me out of my house due to my positive status;"
"My colleagues are afraid to come near me or to shake hands."
Such cries of physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual pains are intense and need healing. With the support of APCA, in many ways the staff at Pabalelong hospice has reached out to those in pain and tried to give them comfort, care and healing.
Below are the ways that we have reached out in love and compassion:
Pabalelong administrative staffs work in two villages with the school aged children to give awareness about HIV/AIDS. These children are offered counseling to cope with the pains and losses in life.
In collaboration with African Hospice Care Association, efforts are made to take hospice care to home based care so that all the patients who are at home will also receive effective pain management by our tender loving care.
Through all these efforts we hope to achieve Zero new infection, Zero discrimination and Zero AIDS related deaths in the near future. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step so we make this journey to ZERO PAIN trusting in the providence of God.
Restoring dignity to a bed-ridden patient
Chogoria Palliative Care Unit, Kenya
Miss A, is a single lady in her 40s who lives alone. She was first enrolled into palliative care in 2000 and could not afford ARTS. She later benefited from PEPFAR funding for ARTS (2004) and lives in a single small cube that she has rented.
Her mother who is married to a man who is not A's father heard the cries of a woman who's life had reduced to a state of complete dependency, relying on others to bathe, cook, even collect her ARV drugs.
Both the community health worker and patient's mother reported A's case to a palliative care office. The palliative care team provided gloves and disinfectant as the mother requested and also taught her how to use them for protection against infection.
A nurse was then sent to assess the patient at home and she confirmed the case of A was as reported. She found hard food that A could not be able to feed on. At the time of the nurse's visit, A lay on the ground, in total pain and desperation. The soiled linen was next to her and flies were all around. She could not even move herself and lay there ninety nine percent of the time, until when her mother would show up to bring her food, clean her and leave her alone. The nurse gave nutritional support and promised the team would help her live a dignified life.
Initially the team did two weekly visits, controlled the pain, provided a covered mattress, a wheelchair and prayed with her. Today the team visits her monthly and the patient is happier, lifts herself to the wheelchair and says soon she will walk and leave the wheelchair.
Improve patient care through training to health professionals
Palliative Care Association of Malawi, Malawi
In 2010, PACAM was awarded a small grant from APCA starting on 1st June 2010 to 31st March 2011. The aim of the grant was to train medical doctors in opioids use in pain management also palliative care advocacy.
With this grant PACAM has trained 21 doctors, 29 clinical officers and 11 nurses. These trained health professionals are all working in various hospitals in Malawi. They were equipped with knowledge, attitudes and skills in palliative care. They learnt holistic pain assessment and management using opioids.
Considering that most patients admitted in the hospital are due to HIV/AIDS related conditions and pain is the common symptom in HIV therefore, these health professionals are providing the care that will relieve their pain.
Providing a human touch to holistic care
Catholic AIDS Action (CAA), Namibia
Jacky from Catholic AIDS Action notes that despite the shortage of resources for home-based care services, clients have expressed satisfaction and appreciation for the work.
Using a holistic approach during her home visits, Jacky visits her clients on a monthly basis, taking the time to sit and talk to them, hold their hands, and then assess whether their needs are physical, emotional, social or spiritual. Most importantly, Jacky always considers her client's cultural beliefs, values and norms and is very sensitive toward any issues of discrimination against them. Follow-up is a high value for her service provision, to check on the client's progress and seek alternative solutions.
"This puts hopes in the patients lives knowing that out there, there is someone who will come to their aid not giving money or food, but only to elevate the ill health, suffering and pain," Jacky said.
Finally, Jacky believes in being available to clients 24 hours a day to her clients, especially to the youth who have been infected with HIV/AIDS, with her phone number always accessible to them.
When a client is financially poor, Jacky arranges for the necessary medical staff to see the client at their home, particularly for bedridden patients at their houses.
"I always advocate for my patients. If my client needs attention, I will go there myself and talk to the right person my client needs in order to be assisted in the right way like any other free Namibian," she says.
Home-based palliative care lifts a client's spirits
Catholic AIDS Action, Namibia
When a 47 year-old client who has received home-based palliative care since 2009 was diagnosed with retro viral infections and pulmonary TB, her spirits were low.
In critical condition, bedridden and very weak, whilst struggling for her life, the woman was highly concerned about the welfare of her 17 year-old daughter.
When Catholic AIDS Action (CAA) volunteers started visiting her regularly, along with a palliative care nurse her countenance changed.
Family members who had previously found it very difficult to handle the patient were encouraged by the assistance of the volunteers. Members of her church were also encouraged to visit the patient through CAA's volunteers.
Veronica's health turn a turn and she improved significantly. Family members provided the support recommended by CAA until she regained her strength and returned to her daily activities.
"Her sadness turned to happiness," said Hilde K Neromba, a CAA palliative care nurse
Caring for the psychosocial well-being of HIV positive children and their parents.
The Centre for Palliative Care, Nigeria
A major aspect of care provided to HIV positive patients by The Centre for Palliative Care, is pain management and symptom control.
One of the ways the Centre for Palliative Care does so is by catering to the psychosocial needs of persons living with HIV. Counseling is provided to children and parents or caregivers of infected children. During monthly day care fora, interactive sessions of health education are held for parents.
Occasionally, indigent families are given some financial support. Additional activities are organized for the children in the Palliative Day Care Centre. Activities include indoor and outdoor games.
Educational support is an important aspect of care provided by our organisation.
We provide books, writing materials and academic exercises are coordinated trained teachers. These learning activities are carried out during the day care sessions and also during hospital admissions. This is helpful since some HIV positive children tend to spend long periods of time in hospital admission, thereby missing school. These activities have been helpful in improving the quality of life of children living with HIV.
Bringing hope through home-based care.
Rwanda Hospice Palliative Care Center, Rwanda
Rwanda Hospice Palliative Care Center is committed to ensuring that patients living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life limiting illnesses and their family's access free quality, comprehensive palliative care services that respond to their needs and rights. We believe that there is always something that can be done to improve the quality of life of our patients.
Charrotte is one of the hospice center's very first patients. She is a 38-year old woman that is living with HIV and cervical cancer. In addition to constant pain and discomfort, Charrotte faces a range of 'pains' as a single mother of a young child living in poverty. To help her reach 'zero' physical pain, RHPCC has been working with Charrotte to identify and alleviate her physical, emotional, social, and spiritual pains.
We manage her physical pain with continuous medical care, including providing free drugs and medical supplies to manage her daily pain and symptoms. We are working to address her social needs by providing her with food and other basic items, as well as financial support for housing (two years' rent paid), transportation, and schooling for her daughter.
Last, but not least, the hospice centre supports Charrotte in addressing her emotional and spiritual needs through counseling, prayer, and by building links with her church and community. Together, these different areas of support contribute to ensuring that Charrotte is able to live free of pain – physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Walking a child through grief and transition.
BigShoes Foundation, South Africa
Thandi* is a nine-year-old girl living with HIV in South Africa. Diagnosed with TB Meningitis, she also had acute spinal and abdominal pain while admitted into hospital for symptom management.
Within three months of her admittance to hospital, the paediatric palliative care hospital team helped Thandi with holistic pain management as she grieved the recent loss of her mother. Upon discharge from the hospital, Thandi received continual support as she transitioned to live with her father who had no knowledge of her illness until she came to live with him. Thandi had to also adjust to a new living situation in a new city – Johannesburg.
Physically, Thandi received assistance in pain management that ensured relief from her spinal pain and diagnosis of her abdominal pain as poor gut motility. Her nutritional needs were also managed through the paediatric hospice ward.
When the team first met Thandi in the hospital, her pain was rated at 8/10. However, during her most recent home visit, the paediatric palliative care team found Thandi at home, settling into her new environment, physically comfortable, eating well, and happy to be with her father. Her pain level was rated at 0/10 -- a notable outcome as a result at the paediatric palliative care team's assistance in enabling her to transition to her new home.
*Thandi's name has been altered to protect her privacy.
Helping a 52-year old patient re-unite with his family.
Baphumelele Respite Centre, South Africa
Mr. Z. was a 52-year-old HIV positive man who was found by the Hospice Team due to a tip-off by one of his neighbours.
He lived in a very run down shack near one of the clinics, was on ARV's already and had just started TB treatment for the second time. He lived by himself, with no one to properly look after him. Sometimes the neighbour would cook for him. His shack was very run down and during the recent rains all of his possessions had become wet due to leakage from the roof and the walls. Carers referred him to the Respite Centre for support; at least he would have a dry and warm bed there, food and company as well as help with his medication.
While he was there, attempts were made to locate his family because he had really no idea about the location of any relatives. With the help of the police, it was finally established that he did have a brother in a certain place in the Eastern Cape.
Again, with the police's help, contact was established with the brother and his family and it was decided (with both their consent) that Mr. Z. would be re-united with his brother. Coach tickets were bought and one weekend Mr. Z. was escorted by one of the carers back to the village of his birth and the home of his brother's family.
According to the accompanying carer, the scenes of re-unification were very moving; the family treated him like a long lost brother and uncle, a proper room had been prepared for him to call his own and the family was overjoyed to welcome him back in their midst. He was open with them about his HIV positive status and they seem to be accepting of this fact.
There was a clinic in the village so he would be able to receive medication and support from them. Due to the intervention of the Hospice in the home team and the respite centre this man went from lonely despair with an uncertain future to being part of a family and a hopeful future.
This is just one of the examples of care from Baphumelele Respite Care and Home Based Care and illustrates the relieving of pain for this man in a physical sense but also in an emotional and social sense as well as spiritual.
Baphumelele Respite Centre, together with its Home Based Care, is continuing to be beneficial to the people in the community of Khayelitsha (near Cape Town) who live with HIV/Aids and TB.
Restoring a child's dignity and health.
Golden Gateway Hospice, South Africa
This is the story of a 6 year-old child that was suffering from severe malnutrition and stage 4 of HIV. When she came to our hospice on her grandmother's back, she was wearing nappies because of the severe diarrhoea. She apathetically didn't want to eat or drink anything, she just cried. I took her to the local hospital where she was admitted and was found to be suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition. She had been diagnosed as HIV+ at birth but was only started on ART a few weeks before she came to see me.
The child is cared for by her grandparents and there are three other children staying in the shack with them. As the grandparents do not work, they live in extreme poverty. I visited her in hospital every day, some days I thought that she would not make it through to the next day.
When she was discharged she was still very weak. The professional nurse and social worker went to the shack and did a full medical/ psychosocial assessment there.
A care plan was drawn up with the planning of her care. The picture of her smile says more than words what holistic palliative care can do for our patients with proper care.
What has Hospice Africa done to help AIDS reach holistic score of zero?
Hospice Africa Uganda, Uganda
Working with support and other organisations, we have given consistent care to patients in clinical stage 4. Sick patients, are supported with treatment for infections, cancers alongside pain and symptom control. The psychosocial, cultural and spiritual issues of patient and family are addressed, making it possible for our patient to "live until you die".
Based on our vast experience, we are training those in HIV support care throughout Uganda so that they too can give palliative care to those in need, using affordable and available medications suitable for the patient to live and die at home. The new Institute of Palliative Medicine for Africa, is now training specialists in palliative medicine with degrees and diplomas. It is through those we train that more in need will receive such care.
In 2011, a network of affordable palliative care is now available to all in Uganda through those trained at HAU and supported by the Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU)
Providing emotional, spiritual and social pain management
Our Lady`s Hospice, Zambia
Our Lady`s Hospice, established in 2003, strives to provide and promote quality palliative care through a holistic approach to care through a holistic approach to care (physical, Psychological Social and spiritual) in the following ways:
Physical pain management: The hospice provides pain relief for patients based on the stage of their disease. In addition, an established physiotherapy department works to rehabilitate patients from various disabilities such as stroke, backaches, arthritis, sprains, paralysis, fractures, peripheral neuropathy, etc. This treatment is given in the form of exercises, ultrasound, hot packs, reflexology, and cold and ice therapy.
Social pain management: The hospice's enrollment personnel ensure that a client identifies a support person. The proposed person is to provide adherence counseling for medication, then acceptance in the family and finally the community. The support person for the client is taught about the medication their client is taking and how to help the client to comply with medication and how to provide the necessary support the clients requires. This has lessened cases of stigma, which in most cases is a source of pain. Family conferences or workshops are held as well depending on the client's compliance.
Spiritual care - chaplains who are Catholic priests as well as sisters frequent the hospice. The priest's visit the patients daily to pray for them and, provide them with spiritual literature. The hospice is open to chaplains of all denominations at any time the patient may like to meet them.
Providing access to ART Education and nutritious food
Dananai Child Care, Zimbabwe
Dananai Child Care, ZimbabweSeveral causes of pain have been identified in the community where Dananai Child Care operate:
1. Lack of nutritious food to allow board building
2. Long distances to the local clinics to take drugs and adherence
3. Late diagnosis and treatment
4. Stigma and lack of care
5. Non-participation of influential leaders.
One of the ways the organisation is meeting these needs is through the establishment of community gardens. These gardens have been initiated and supported for the purpose of improving nutrition and food among family members of people living with HIV/AIDS. Such initiatives have improved drug adherence and overall health for those living with HIV/AIDS.
Comprehensive services for TB and HIV clients
Zambia Tuberculosis and Leprosy Trust (ZATULET), Zambia
The work we are doing has helped patients living with HIV/AIDS get to zero pain (physical, emotional, social and spiritual). This has been done in 3 ways.
The first has been to sensitise our TB patients to have an HIV test since there is a 70% possibility of having a co-infection in Zambia. This was done through the diagnostic counseling and testing (DCT) process, which also applied to HIV clients who were also encouraged to have a TB test.
The HIV infection diagnosis was done at our community clinic through our voluntary counseling and testing programme also for those who wanted to know their HIV status.
The third one has been to get an antiretroviral treatment (ART) license from the Medical Council of Zambia to start giving ARVs to our clients within the same facility according to our clients' wishes. We started the ART clinic in August 2010.
Emotionally, physically and socially they were supported by our adherence counselors and support groups. In addition, the churches the clients attend pray and support them spiritually.
With early diagnosis and treatment, many clients are no longer bed ridden and opportunistic infections have been reduced because their immune systems have been improved. Clients who had CD4 counts of less than 50 improved, and now some have CD4 counts of between 450 and 500. Many are now leading normal, productive lives with no pain.

There are some very nice songs on GHIV, although i kinda wish they didn't choose "Pull Me Under" as the Dream Theater song.
Pull me Under is a great song though, really good early stuff. Rock band 2 is a lot of fun so far though I don't like that their isn't a solo tour anymore, it's all just band challenges or band world tour, though you can do that in single player.
My bro might pick up RB 2 later today.
They need more Jimmy Eat World songs.
aaahh shiiiit
I am enjoying the game so far. I just wish the free DLC was available and I had more people to play with.
Single player is kinda boring, and kind of easy.
me and my brothers might get it soon, just because of all the new songs
I'm getting GHWT/ It was the setlist that sold me on it
your tagline here
Like the typical woman in any relationship, Sarah happened to be correct, no matter what she believed at the time.
-Mr. Logan Chesney
Expert drums and I don't get along. Hell, Hard drums and I don't get along. But I already know those songs are a bitch. Especially Painkiller.
Anyway, the game decided to get a bit more challenging, which really sucks since I hate playing a bunch of songs by myself. Also, it sems to take forever to unlock new songs.
Oh, and in case anyone didn't know: In order to get Rock Band 1 songs into Rock Band 2, you need the recent title update for RB1 and you can export the songs in the Options Menu (in RB1, just to clarify).
So, when does the E-mpire band(s) start?
How do you unlock songs? Me and angela already did the expert impossible challenges and I thought we had all the songs unlocked? Maybe i'm wrong though.
We can start an e-mpire band whenever. Though who should have the band on their profile?
From what I've noticed, they unlock after you play them through Band World Tour.
As for E-mpire band, I don't physically own the game yet, but I'll probably be getting it soon if not next weekend, so I would probably be able to join by that point.
Through the tour mode. It takes a while. I think I have half of the songs for RB2 unlocked thus far and I have about 5-6 cities to play in still.
As for the E-mpire band: I don't know who should have it on their profile. Maybe that's why we rock out with multiple bands. Like, each of us can have our own variation of the E-mpire band depending on who's online and who's willing to play what. Sounds a little complicated, but it might work.
We're unlocking them through Tour Challenge..... but I don't think we have all the songs yet because we haven't done all the challenges.
Well i'm pretty sure that as long as you are a member of a band you can go online with said band, you just can't play local tour with that band unless you own it. So we could have like 4 e-mpire people in the band and then just one of them has to be online for people to play in it.
I know that I would love to be in said e-mpire band!!!
anyway...you guys got it right....bothe challenges and world tour unlocks songs....but some of the challenges for different instruments have different songs so you may not have them by beating the challenges unless you beat them all....
world tour on the other hand unlocks them all as you go...and I believe you don't even need to play them...just unlock the venues that have the songs in them.
I am loving the game so far ....and I don't mind that there isn't a conventional single player... I really love the challenges because they are basically like the original single player in that there is a set of increasingly difficult challenges for each instrument and full bands.... but you can now have somebody play along with you if you want for the instrument specific ones.
the songs so far have been incredibly fun...but WAY more challenging than RB1... especially on drums!!! ugg.... even that new sonic youth "teenage riot" song gets me sometimes (stupid ending!!!!!) and that song isn't even in the last of the drums songs (although it is a 6 star difficulty....so maybe I should be too embarrassed.)
I haven't even played RB2 since I got it 2 days ago.
aaahh shiiiit
Everlong on drums is ridiculous. I got conned into playing it on expert drums and just got my shit ruined.
I've noticed too that mystery setlists randomly pick songs based on the difficulty of the venue. For example, we got Blackened then ...And Justice For All in the same set.
Also, Painkiller is not as bad as the ratings make it out to be, but it's still pretty hard.
Try Painkiller on drums... what a pain. It's not even that it's wicked wicked hard.. it's just.. FOREVER. And then you just want to stop.
oh I bet, especially at the end where it should be a rock ending, but it's not. It's just a pile of drums.

every time i use bang mia, the hero icons always disappear, so i can never click on them to call mia. Am I doing something wrong? plz help
Missklick Master and Combo Cast Cost dont work by me....someone have an idea why or what i can do?
They are enabeled and they was working in past but not more yet.
Any reason almost no downloads seem to be available (especially packs) and any estimate as to how soon they will be available?
right click mod and click update
use HoNMan's "Update all mods"
Bang! CC Timers is not avaible .. Can someone send it to me or something?
Sup guys
I freaking love your Bang! Media Player mod. I use it now since 3 days but i noticed that's just really annoying to change the song each time it has finished. Could anyone change so it notices by itself when the song is over so the next song is played automatically?
That isn't possible atm. The new music commands that would allow that also mean that the game will randomly change your tracks annoyingly often.
I realise that I am behind on updating a lot of my mods, and several of them are no longer working 100% properly, but it's because I am busy working other things that I hope you will like!

Edit: it seems to be scrolling MIA's but not deaths, resurrects etc.

I have a two year old, female Rottweiller mix, that is not fixed yet. She is a sweet, obedient animal, and I am concerned about the behavioral changes that occur when an animal has its sexual organs removed. What are the effects on their health and temperament after surgery?
There are no predictable behavior changes in the female dog or cat after ovariohysterectomy. Male dogs, however, often become less dominant and aggressive with other dogs and roam less after neutering. Male cats generally do less territorial fighting and roam less, which dramatically increases their life span.
There are many solid health reasons for spaying and neutering our pets. Early spaying prevents mammary cancer and a uterine disease called pyometra. Both of these conditions can be fatal in the female dog. Neutering male dogs reduces the incidence of prostate and testicular disease.
Preventing unwanted litters is another common reason veterinarians recommend spaying both cats and dogs at six to 12 months of age, preferably before the first heat.
Keeping our pets at home and healthy will provide longer and more pleasurable companionship!

Future Atelier games released in the west will contain both Japanese and English audio tracks
Atelier releases in the west from here on out will contain dual-audio voice tracks, Tecmo Koei Europe has announced. Atelier Escha & Logy, which releases in Europe March 7 and March 11 for North America on PlayStation 3, was previously confirmed to contain the dual-track for both the retail and digital version of the game. So, from now on, all games in the series released in the west will contain both Japanese and English voice options. Great news. Thanks, Siliconera.

Atelier Rorona Plus not on the cards
Gust doesn't plan on releasing a "Plus" Vita remake of Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, according to Siliconera's translation of a video communique from the developer. Apparently Gust's actual plans are a little hard to translate, but suggest something else may be in store for the title. Two Vita ports have graced the franchise so far: Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland – which released in the west earlier this month – and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland Plus – which has not yet been confirmed for western release.

Exposure to ticks
can be reduced by employing the following practices:
1. Cultural: Keep grassy and weedy areas trimmed to reduce harborage for tick hosts. The reservoir tick host that carries lyme disease is the white-footed mouse.
2. Avoidance: Whenever possible, stay out of tick-infested areas, grassy pastures, prairies, and wooded areas. Restrict movement of your dog.
3. Proper Clothing: When entering tick-infested areas, wear long-leeved shirts and long trousers with tight-fitting cuffs.
4. Repellents: Use an insect repellent containing the active ingredient diethyl toluamide (DEET). Apply to clothing and areas of exposed skin such as hands, wrists, ankles and neck. Protect dogs with flea and tick collars.
5. Inspection and Removal: Inspection and removal of ticks reduces the risk of lyme disease transmission. After crawling on a potential host, a tick may take up to a day to attach and feed, so you may be able to remove a tick before it has attached. In addition, the risk of disease transmission is related to the length of feeding so attached ticks should be removed promptly. Ticks tend to concentrate on the head, shoulders, neck and in ear canals. Remove embedded ticks with forceps, by gripping the tick carefully at the point of attachment and pulling upward in a slow but firm manner.
Care should be taken when removing a tick from pets or humans to insure that the entire tick is completely removed from the skin (the head often breaks off). After removal, wash the wound with soap and water and apply alcohol or some other disinfectant to help prevent infection.
6. Insecticides: Around the outside of the home, tick numbers can be reduced by using residual insecticides such as carbaryl (Sevin), chlorpyrifos (Dursban) and diazinon. Follow label instructions. For tick control on pets, use only baths, sprays, and dips that are recommended by your veterinarian.
To check for ticks in your yard or acreage, you can drag a white cloth (such as an old pillowcase) through the vegetation as you walk. Ticks, waiting at the top of a blade of grass or shrub for a passing host to wander by, will grab hold of the cloth and be easy to see against the white >
As soon as possible after being in a high risk area, examine your body for bites or itches. Taking a shower and using lots of soap aids in this examination. Areas such as the scalp, armpits, and groin are difficult to examine effectively, but are preferred sites for tick attachment. Special attention should be given to these parts of the body.

They came from all over the mainland and descended on us. What made this a first was that the Island was the setting. Over 30 years of Thanksgivings, including 25 with a house we had in Menemsha, family members had never joined us to celebrate here. This time, 10 of them decided to come — because we now live here.
It was a day of easy access — our Vineyard Haven home is walking distance from the ferry terminal. It was a day of easy excess — our small crowd gathered, prepared the meal, devoured the meal, savored and chatted and drank to distraction and then negotiated a comfortable walking distance for the rest of their weekend. A good time was certainly had by all.
A time to catch up on our lives. A time to share memories, particularly of past Thanksgivings and misgivings. A time to renew harmony and humor. A time to renew quirks and differences.
My wife's family is large. Those who have married into this Irish phylum of in-laws are lovingly referred to as outlaws. And with the in-laws and outlaws come holiday traditions. One is talking up a storm. There's a longstanding joke with my in-laws. Why is there no authentic Irish cuisine? Because the Irish care a lot more about what comes out of their mouths than what goes in.
As usual, Thanksgiving this year was no different. The soundtrack resembled the overlapping dialogue among Rosalind Russell, Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy in Howard Hawks' His Girl Friday. In our family, silence is only golden when everyone else has left. One Thanksgiving, my brother in law Rick, pediatrician and outlaw, was sitting at the table, ticking off his fingers, one at a time. I asked what he was doing. He looked at his family and said, "Tim is talking and no one's listening. Nance is talking and no one's listening. Patty's talking, no one's listening. Richard's talking, no one's listening . . ."
On this day, a day that's all about the food, this behavior leads to another tradition — squabbling over the menu and recipes. Each food preparation is seasoned and laced with the histories and histrionics of sibling rivalry. Is that a fresh or frozen turkey? Is it commercial or local? How do you plan to cook it? In the oven or gas grill? How about the microwave? Don't put stuffing in it — you'll have to cook it longer or we'll all get food poisoning. To keep it moist, stick lemons inside. Make that an orange. All you need are butter and garlic in there. How about a water balloon filled with vermouth?
What's in the stuffing? I love chestnuts. I hate chestnuts. No dried apricots, please — makes me think I've bitten into a pencil eraser. Wait a minute, is that gluten? Great, we're having stuffing with baked potatoes and yams: would you like some starch with your starch?
A haiku reverberated through the kitchen.
The way they give thanks
Knock the stuffing out of you,
Spoon it right back in
Sometimes a vegetable choice stirs more steam than any cookbook requires. An in-law reminded me: Nothing green cooked, please, unless it's green beans. This prompted an image of my late mother who always bought frozen green beans because "you can't trust fresh produce. They're all full of dirt."
Eventually it was time for the feast, after we settled the other pressing issues: How would you like your cranberries? Whole? Jellied? Or helplessly suspended in a mold? How would you like your gravy? Wavy? With or without giblets? Are five pies really necessary? One for each sense?
So we all gathered round the table. Time to relax and switch gears — keep all intensities from reaching biblical proportions while we eat food in biblical portions. The family dynamic was exhaling. It was time for gnashed teeth to open, recant and chew heartily. Smiles all around.
On this day food becomes a super sensual experience. An aphrodisiac of aromas and rich, tempting tastes. If what we eat now were served back at the first Thanksgiving, it would have been an opportunity for the Pilgrims to release and immediately redirect their un-Puritan urges. "Sex! No! Oh . . . okay . . . Food!! And lots of it!" Because of sexual repression, the concept of second helpings was born.
Your taste buds give thanks, but your metabolism won't. Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan famously referred to an overvalued dot-com market as "irrational exuberance." That term also comes to mind with the convergence of family, food and festivities.
When you think about it, the turkey is a perfect symbol for the holiday and what we do with it. We squawk with our relatives, gobble our food and waddle back to the rest of November.
Every morning when I walk Floyd, our yellow lab, I am reminded of Thanksgiving. I take a deep breath and thank my lucky stars we moved to the Vineyard and Floyd thanks his furry fortune that around every corner is a gaggle of turkeys he can chase into December.

You've missed something
I had a similar problem with a level not unlocking, can't remember which one it was.
Turns out that I had either not played one of those mini levels [you have to play all of them at least once] that contained a needed key too unlock it, or had missed the key in the previous level.
Sorry to be so vague regarding knowing exactly where the key is, but at least you know it's not a broken game.

It's an interesting story the new York city police department is -- off the charts upset.
Because twitters saying.
What we're not gonna tell you the identity of the person who posted those tweets about -- -- at the long -- theater -- -- what they've done.
Is posted there Hercules unit there.
This enormous super -- team to make sure that nothing happens outside of -- we also -- lose another threat against the actors.
Ellen Page in Los Angeles.
A death threat against her choosing -- went to -- would love woody Allen's movie.
And so now there's subpoenas and search warrants going to have to Twitter.
Twitter has litigated this is -- ready and is now up the -- if there was a court called.
He's called people vs Harrison New York City compared in the spring and then this summer about Occupy Wall Street guy.
And the district attorney's office here it wanted.
He's tweets about what he's doing on the Brooklyn Bridge -- -- no we're not fitting given to it and so now we're appealing it the repellent thing right now.
That's created so a bit because this guy said he's gonna you know I'm gonna shoot -- -- right at that theater.
They've that NYPD has made this emergency subpoena request we wanna get this guys -- -- I -- apparently wrote yeah I'm in Florida right now but I'm working on my hit list I'll be back if so what Twitter says we have a policy and we looked at least a while we do invoke emergency disclosure.
When it appears that -- present specific and immediate this does not appear to fall under those strict parameters are as for our policies.
But the law in the state in New York that they are appealing.
Is different and it's as if you posted -- Just like if you scream -- out the window there is no reasonable expectation.
Of privacy there is no proprietary interest.
In your tweets which you have now.
Gifted to the world so because it's public.
It should be able lacked publicly say it's not a private email is not a direct -- it's -- public tweet.
That millions of people can see so popular -- expectation.
Of privacy unfortunate we're seeing more and more of these situations where police have to subpoena and -- serve search warrants on Twitter when they don't.
Give up this information.
In a quick way they're saying well we looked at it we don't think there's a threat to but the cops should know who tweeted that well absolutely the law has to be clearer.
It -- appeal going on.
They -- trying to protect their corporate interest because they don't want people who go on Twitter to believe that they're going to be served up -- to the police on every obvious little thing.
But when there's an emergent public need like this obviously -- need to give this up and that's what the law the -- in New York says.
Right now they need to given out unfortunately.
