Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
As you revisit half-forgotten haunts from your past, you'll probably encounter pieces of yourself you thought you'd left behind forever. That's part of the deal. Luckily, it's not all bad, and neither are these old incarnations of you. Each of them has positives and negatives, and something to teach or remind you that will enhance who you are today. Try to welcome them like old friends and acquaintances, with as open a heart and mind as you can manage. Chances are, you'll leave the whole experience feeling better about who you've become then you ever have.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Here's your week: You're cruising along the side roads, making steady progress, and finally you pull onto the highway—and your engine dies. At the very moment the road opens up before you, giving you the freedom to really cut loose, something's likely to keep you from hitting the gas and speeding down it. Don't get frustrated when gazing down that long, promising, inaccessible highway. Because this is likely to happen, I recommend picking up any sexy hitchhikers you might pass along the way—then at least you'll have their company while stranded in limbo, which might make it not so bad.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Jump the gun. Though you've been patiently waiting for the starting pistol to go off before you run this race, it's totally okay (and even wise) to get a head start when you can. This will help a lot when unforeseen (except by me) disasters, delays, and obstacles crop up. Get going now, even if it seems like you have more than enough time to finish this race twice over, so when shit happens, you'll be so far ahead of the game you'll manage to finish on time anyway. Anyone who's got a clue will be seriously impressed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because you're such complex, multifaceted creatures, many Pisces have trouble bringing all the different aspects of yourselves to the table when tackling any given task. This week is all about learning how to show up for the job with all the useful tools you have in hand, and leave the clown noses and dog collars at home until you actually need them. The most successful Pisces I know are able to change up a situation so that it will bring out the best in them. The sooner you can figure out what you need, and master how to manifest it, the sooner you'll be able to bring all of yourself to everything you do.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
I know you hate this job, but this week you're our official Bubble Burster. I think you despise doing this mostly because so many of your own hopes and dreams have been dashed over the years, and you know exactly how awful it feels. Use that experience to make you a kinder, gentler Shatterer of Dreams. Sometimes breaking down someone's unrealistic expectations is actually the nicest thing you can do, since tearing those down will force them to build up some new, hopefully more achievable goals. Take heart. Those whose hopes you trample may despise you now, but they will love and thank you later.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This week's mantra: It's not your job to educate people. Sometimes that is your job, but I'm afraid in this case these dolts are too stupid to get it, no matter how simply you put it. You'll just have to work around them. Dispassionately consider them as obstacles, and plan a route circumventing them that will still efficiently allow you to arrive at your destination. Sometimes it's a good idea to put in the time to try to transform adversaries to allies. These guys, however, just aren't worth it. Theyspeed bumps and lamp posts, no more.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Be a jellyfish. Forget having a backbone or standing tall but instead be fluid, transparent, and apparently harmless. Remember that most jellyfish are venomous (some lethally so), despite their seeming helplessness and beauty. Being bold and righteous may make you feel powerful, but it'll only needlessly make you a target. Chill out and act squishy and spineless. You might take a more circuitous route to get there, in the end, but eventually you'll float gently to your destination without a problem. What's more, you won't feel like you had to work that hard for it; it's likely to feel more like you're coming back from a vacation.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
When you ask advice, you usually already know what you want to do. You're actually just seeking permission or validation. There's nothing wrong with that, but it might not be the best strategy when your advisors don't give you the advice you want. It's good to listen to your friends' counsel, but in this case your instincts are paramount. No one else can know what it's like to be in your shoes. What seems right from their perspective just isn't, from yours. You know what you want to do. Stop fishing around for reassurance and just do it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
I advised your Gemini buddies to chill out and drift and appear helpless this week. I wish I could give you the same advice, but I'm afraid you suck at hiding your power, and you're already too much of a target for that strategy, in any case. You might as well stand up and take the most direct approach you can think of. That, of course, is likely to make you even more of a target than before. Luckily for you, you're a tough little Lion, and they probably won't be able to do much more than slow you down (and perhaps wound your ego just a bit; that, too, however, should be sturdy enough to take it).
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Bugs don't get glass. They'll hurl themselves against it until they die, trying to reach the sun they see. Sadly, I've seen humans act like this, too. They'll hit an obstacle they don't quite understand and they'll try the same thing again and again trying to get through it or past it, confounded and confused when they always fail. I root for the bee trapped behind the glass, and hope she'll try moving two feet to the left, where the open window will allow her egress. I'm rooting for you, too. I hope you'll soon stop doing the same thing you've done a thousand times before, which has never worked except by accident, and instead try something completely different and new.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
It's all about love and hate this week. Basically it's a simple equation: you've got to use what you love to get through what you hate. Without keeping all the people and things you adore firmly in mind the entire time, you might not have the fuel and wherewithal to do what you've got to do and finally get it over with. They're the weight on the other side of the scale that will keep you from going completely out of whack and falling down, hard. They're also the ones who'll be there for you when you've finally gotten the hard shit done, to comfort and celebrate with you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Worry, worry, worry! What are you, a Cancer? Since when did you become the zodiac's chief Nervous Nellie? Sure, you've got problems. You've got fears. But you've never before let them eat away at you like this. Look at you, you're all in a tizzy. I don't mean to minimize your concerns; they're legit. But please recognize that there's very little you can do about them, at least right now, and, if it does anything at all, worrying is only likely to make everything worse. Do your best to take your mind off that shit and just enjoy what's actually happening around you. Enlist some help if needed. I'm sure you know at least two people who'll leap at the chance to distract you by any means necessary.

The Ascent of Joy …
Why was Jesus' ascension into heaven good news for his disciples?
Why was Jesus' ascension into heaven good news for his disciples?
In order to be acclaimed Messiah and Lord, the Son of God had to come, defeat the enemy, and lead his people out of bondage in triumph over sin and Satan and death. And that he did on Good Friday and Easter.
If your life is flat, empty, without exhilaration, without significance, without a single and fulfilling orientation, it is because you do not see the risen Christ for who he really is.
The great word of the resurrection is OPEN! Therefore write in capital letters over every closed door in your life, OPEN!
Jesus has laid down his life so that he might make you a genuine offer of reconciliation.
Jesus Christ is alive and reigning over all the kings of the earth, and all the events of the world.
We owe our purification to Jesus and we owe our being to him.
Because we have a great High Priest, the throne of God is a throne of grace.
What did everything that happened before Jesus have to do with him?
7 ways John shows us the glory of Jesus.
The Gospel of John lifts Jesus up as coming from God, being full of God, and speaking and ruling as God.
What do Jesus' miracles say about Jesus?
"The kind of obedience that glorifies God is free and joyful, not constrained and cowering. Even when the cost is supreme, the joy is triumphant, because the cause of Jesus cannot fail" (p. 27).
In Episode 69, John Piper talks about the exclusivity of Jesus Christ.
In Episode 70, John Piper discusses the historical validity of Jesus Christ.
The Deity of Christ The Person of Christ

Following our article yesterday about AMD using new high performance liquid cooling technology for their upcoming 7900-series graphic cards, TechPowerUp can now bring you a detailed insight into how this technology works, which has been developed by Vapro Inc. The following slides will help to explain this technology. By using liquid cooling based heatsinks, the following performance advantages are achieved: improvement of thermal resistance, handling of high heat flux and power and easy to manufacture. A microporous coating (MC) is applied to the hot side of the heatsink to help improve the heat carrying capacity of the boiling liquid, by significantly increasing the number of nucleation sites. "Nucleation sites" are surfaces that contact the liquid. Making the contact surface rough helps the water to form small bubbles sooner, allowing the boiling process to start more readily and be more vigorous. The diagrams below illustrate how the boiling enhancement mechanism works. The droplet size and manner in which it is trapped are important factors in enhancing boiling. The following diagram illustrates how the microporous surface increases the number of bubbles produced, allowing more heat to be carried away more quickly, leading to much greater cooling efficiency. Notice how the thickness of the superheated layer is much reduced, as the liquid boils away sooner, thus preventing it from building up and trapping the heat against the hot component. Here, the enhancement that the microporous coating makes is shown in a photograph of the device in action. The coating is on the right side and the liquid can be seen to be bubbling away on the right side, but not the left side. A video demo on YouTube is here. With a liquid-based cooler, one would expect its orientation to matter due to gravity and it does, but not by very much. In fact, mounting the cooler vertically actually improves performance at higher power levels, compared to the horizontal orientation. Note that the cooler works just as effectively face down for high power levels, where it matters most. Efficiency reduces somewhat at low power levels, but this doesn't really matter very much, as there isn't much heat to remove anyway. Next, we can see a comparison between the way current vapour chamber technology works and the new liquid chamber technology. The most common form of high performance cooling technology today for graphics cards, is vapour chamber cooling, where a small amount of liquid evaporates from the hot surface, is wicked up into the radiator where it cools and then condenses back into liquid, where the cycle starts again. On the other hand, liquid cooling uses a much greater amount of liquid, which actually boils. The resulting vapour then condenses back into liquid form against the radiator and goes back into the pool of liquid resting against the hot surface. Potential issues with vapour chamber technology are the potential for it to dry out due to the small amount of liquid present, not very robust physically and difficult to make. Liquid chamber solves all these problems and more. Here, we see a comparison of cooling effectiveness between two vapour chamber modules and two liquid cooling modules. Notice how the liquid modules do measurably better, especially at low flow rates, allowing the fan to rotate more slowly, therefore leading to a quieter cooler. The chamber can be made just 2 mm thick and still achieve good cooling capacity, compared to a 4 mm thick one. As one can see, the 2 mm chamber is almost as effective as the 4 mm one, until around the 175W level, where the 4 mm chamber's performance starts to pull ahead. The design objective for liquid coolers is to be fitted onto very high powered graphics cards, where 400W+ is expected to be consumed between the GPU and its supporting circuitry, especially the power circuits. 400W+ is a level that previous technology would struggle to handle effectively. These test results show that the cooler's orientation makes no difference at the tested power range. Also, it's more effective than the stock 8800 GTX vapour chamber cooler that this has been compared against, especially where more power is being dissipated by the graphics card. Below, is a quick summary of the benefits of this new technology, the most prominent being the efficient handling of large amounts of heat, making it suitable for the high powered graphics cards of the future and being relatively orientation free.

Next time, Qubit, can you re-size the image thumbnails in such a way that the text in the image is legible in the post itself? There's no way I'm going read this and have to click through 12 additional webpages with the images legible to be able to get the full information provided. Thanks.
So much for the argument that 28nm is likely to mean more lower power consumption. My guess is that the 28nm performance/enthusiast will still be nudging...or downright abusing the PCI-E spec in an effort to wring out as much performance as possible /thank god for that. Either the wonders of marketing, or these guys have been on a verrrrrry slow ramp
Use the lightbox on the frontpage. http://img.techpowerup.org/111113/bta8764kjhd.jpg We can't change the thumbnail size standard.
Fit for 400W+ ... WTH? On 28nm that'd be enough for something over 3 times the power of current top-crop.
A very simplistic way in advancing the chamber cooling methods. Though it now seems totally obvious from my other hobbies and knowledge, mainly aquaculture and filtering type "fluidized bed". As here the object is creating surface area and the more the better in a small space - micro etching could be useful as well but creating more surface area in a given space is the key - very obvious now but I wouldn't have come up with anything like that so it does seem good to me - I want to see comparisons though on actual cooling comparisons at different angles done with multiple units of both types at different loads though lol.
There's several questions not answered by the slides: - What's the liquid used? - What's the internal pressure? Standard atmospheric pressure would have water boil at 100C, far too high - As the temperature rises, so does the pressure. A lot. And there's a fair amount of liquid in the cooler. How does it handle this? --Is there some kind of safety valve? ---If it goes off, then the cooler becomes useless and the card either burns out or shuts down from an overtemp control These are important questions that need answers.
The pressure is very low. The liquid start to boil as soon as heat is applied, even if the GPU is 40 degrees some liquid is boiling but its never under any real pressure. The liquid is probably a trade secret but usually a combination of ammonia, water, acetone and methanol for consumer electronics. They use liquid metals for hardcore industrial purposes that can cool more than 1000 degrees but I dont think they use metals in graphics cards lol. http://www.thermacore.com/frequently-asked-questions/default.aspx
There are many things that could work and work well. Freon Water under vacuum Ammonia http://www.benchtest.com/heat_pipe1.html For the actually minute amount of liquid and strength of tubing and solder I'm not anymore worried about the copper than I am the aluminum tubes in our home A/C that carry liquid under almost 200PSI of pressure and it being hot. Ammonia coolers are still in massive use today as a much more cost effective setup, and in use in many RV's and other places by using a hot bulb pump.
This is too science-y for me to comprehend But if since it's better than the current coolers, that's good
small pictures on the page It's just because your GPU card is still using the old type cooling. Larger pictures might overheat your oldfashioned pre-2012 45nm GPU

"French quarter very dated"
I was in noosa when French quarter opened in 1998. Since then I've stayed at heaps of Hastings st hotels on the beach. I saw a great offer for a 2br apartment and decided to give it another go. A few things to note 1. If you don't have kids do not go there for a relax. There are kids in the pool all the time and it is so noisy - the whole place is built […] around the pool sp the noise carries. 2. Since it has been taken over by the chain castaways the service is rubbish. They don't clean your room and late check out is impossible. There is no access to reliable cable tv - our tv was on the floor. 3. The rooms are really dated. It would seem they have updated half the rooms but not all of them. If you are staying there ask for an updated room before you commit. There is a huge difference. I would not stay there again but the location was great.

Right now they´re in Egypt sweet-talking the Muslim Brotherhood while ostensibly in 3-way peace talks. Snakes.
The voice of sanity crying in the wilderness.Someone needs to show some backbone! Is there not one such person left?
The article says it all. The media in this country, CNN especially, is sympathetic to Gaza and Palestinians and goes to extremes to use images to support their views. The Obama admin is not an ally of Israel yet the vast majority of Jews in this country voted for Zippy and are not supportive of Israel. Hard to fathom. Those in Gaza have every opportunity to have a country, live their lives because Israel doesn´t want their land. But the Palestinians would rather have nothing and suffer the consequences of their decision to elect Hamas.
Just do it. Don´t wait while Obama dithers . When you are finished bulldoze the rubble into the sea and declare Gaza nonexistent.
Seal the border with Egypt with Hamas on that side. Let Egypt have Hamas.
I would not stop until all weapons Hamas has are gone! I would also kill as many as possible of the terrorists while engaged...they WILL be back if they are left intact!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
"You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this

Look at my blog … life coach
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.
As it is easier to run an electronic on-line shop than to run a
shop in the market place that to some shop which offers you every thing under the sun that can be bought online stores give year-long reductions.
Also these online stores like Overstock.com give special discount such as overstock promo rule for
promotional and advertising function. Although a traditional Overstock
discount is difficult to find but when you pay money for it be sure to be surprised.
Overstock Coupon is of very great use, because it has improved the novelty of online buying by often among the mind of men and
women. It's also many choosing things which improve its need. Several types of voucher requirements are there Free Ship Coupon Code, particularly Money Saver Coupon Code and many more; all are employed for different reasons.
Today these codes are being sold out to accomplish business. That is also comfortable for your consumers since they are now free from the risk of marketing using a huge amount of income. Actually some recharge web sites and internet sites have started the Overstock Coupon process. They offer strategies like on a re-charge of Rs.10 only one will get 20% concession on buying Rs 999 and above. By utilizing these strategies, also the small-scale websites are increasing their sales. Many shopping web sites have fixed a margin such that shopping beyond that certain amount could undergo no shipping charge. Online coupons are now available even to reduce the transport charge.

How pets can affect mood and health
While most pet owners are clear about the immediate joys that come with sharing their lives with companion animals, many remain unaware of the physical and mental health benefits that can also accompany the pleasure of playing with or snuggling up to a furry friend. It's only recently that studies have begun to scientifically explore the benefits of the human-animal bond. Studies have found that:
- Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.
- People with pets have lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those without pets.
- Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.
- Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels (indicators of heart disease) than those without pets.
- Heart attack patients with pets survive longer than those without.
- Pet owners over age 65 make 30 percent fewer visits to their doctors than those without pets.
- A pet doesn't have to be a dog or a cat. Even watching fish in an aquarium can help reduce muscle tension and pulse rate.
One of the reasons for these therapeutic effects is that most pets fulfill the basic human need to touch. Even hardened criminals in prison have shown long-term changes in their behavior after interacting with pets, many of them experiencing mutual affection for the first time. Stroking, holding, cuddling, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothe us when we're stressed. The companionship of a pet can also ease loneliness, and some pets are a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost mood.
How pets can help to make healthy lifestyle changes
Adopting healthy lifestyle changes can play an important role in easing symptoms of depression, stress, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and anxiety. Caring for a pet can help with those healthy lifestyle changes by:
- Increasing exercise. Exercise doesn't have to involve boring repetition at a gym. Taking a dog for a walk, riding a horse, or simply chasing a kitten around are fun ways to fit healthy daily exercise into your schedule.
- Providing companionship. Isolation and loneliness can make disorders such as depression even worse. Caring for a living animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. Most pet owners talk to their pets, some even use them to work through their troubles.
- Helping meet new people. Pets can be a great social lubricant for their owners. Dog owners frequently stop and talk to each other on walks or in a dog park. Pet owners also meet new people in pet stores, clubs, and training classes.
- Reducing anxiety. The companionship of a dog can offer comfort, help ease anxiety, and build self-confidence for people anxious about going out into the world.
- Adding structure and routine to your day. Many pets, especially dogs, require a regular feeding and exercise schedule. No matter your mood—depressed, anxious, or stressed—you'll always have to get out of bed to feed, exercise, and care for your pet.
- Providing sensory stress relief. Touch and movement are two healthy ways to quickly manage stress. This could involve petting a cat or taking a dog for a walk.
Pets and older adults
The key to aging well is to effectively handle life's major changes, such as retirement, the loss of loved ones, and the physical changes of aging. Pets can play an important role in healthy aging by:
- Helping you find meaning and joy in life. As you age, you'll lose things that previously occupied your time and gave your life purpose. You may retire from your career or your children may move far away. Caring for a pet can bring pleasure and help boost your morale and optimism. Taking care of an animal can also provide a sense of self-worth.
- Staying connected. Maintaining a social network isn't always easy as you grow older. Retirement, illness, death, and moves can take away close friends and family members. And making new friends can get harder. Dogs especially are a great way for seniors to spark up conversations and meet new people.
- Boosting vitality. You can overcome many of the physical challenges associated with aging by taking good care of yourself. Pets encourage playfulness, laughter, and exercise, which can help boost your immune system and increase your energy.
Pets and adults with Alzheimer's disease or dementia
As part of the disease, Alzheimer's patients may exhibit a wide variety of behavioral problems, many related to an inability to deal with stress.
- Research at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine concluded that Alzheimer's patients suffer less stress and have fewer anxious outbursts if there is a pet in the home.
- Pets can provide a source of positive, nonverbal communication. The playful interaction and gentle touch from a well-trained, docile animal can help soothe an Alzheimer's patient and decrease aggressive behavior.
- In many cases a patient's problem behavior is a reaction to the stressed response of the primary caretaker. Pets can help ease the stress of caregivers. Cats or caged animals may be more suitable than dogs, which generally require more care and can add to the burden of someone who's already looking after an Alzheimer's patient.
Pets and children
Not only do children who grow up with pets have less risk of allergies and asthma, many also learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy from having pets. Unlike parents, pets are never critical and don't give orders. They are always loving and their mere presence at home can help provide a sense of security in children. Having an ever-present dog or cat, for example, can help ease separation anxiety in children when mom and dad aren't around. Studies have also shown that pets can help calm hyperactive or overly aggressive kids. Of course, both the pet and the child need to be trained to behave appropriately with each other.
Children and adults alike can benefit from playing with pets, which can be both a source of calmness and relaxation, as well as a source of stimulation for the brain and body. Playing with a pet can even be a doorway to learning for a child. It can stimulate a child's imagination and curiosity. The rewards of training a dog to perform a new trick, for example, can teach kids the importance of perseverance. Caring for a furry friend can also offer another benefit to a child: immense joy.
Children with learning and other disorders
Some children with autism or other learning difficulties are better able to interact with pets than people. Autistic children often rely on nonverbal cues to communicate, just as pets do. And learning to first connect with a cat or dog, for example, may even help an autistic child in their interactions with people.
- Pets can help children with learning disabilities learn how to regulate stress and calm themselves, making them better equipped to overcome the challenges of their disorder.
- Playing and exercising with a pet can help a child with learning disorders stay alert and attentive throughout the day. It can also be a great antidote to stress and frustration caused by the learning disability.
- Learning to ride a horse can help elevate the self-esteem of disabled children, putting them on a more equal level with kids without disabilities.
Finding a pet that meets your needs and lifestyle
While people who have pets tend to be happier, more independent, and feel more secure than those without pets, it's important to select the type of pet that is best for you. You'll benefit most from having a pet whose needs are compatible with your lifestyle and physical capabilities.
Lifestyle considerations that influence your choice in a pet
- Little outdoor activity – If most of your time is spent at home, consider pets that would be happy to stay with you in that environment. You may enjoy playing with or cuddling a cat or a bunny; watching fish or reptiles; or talking or singing along with a bird.
- High activity level – If you're more active and enjoy daily activities outside of your home, especially walking or running, a dog might be right for you. Canine companions thrive on outdoor exercise, keeping you on the move.
- Small children and the elderly – Families with small children or elderly living in their homes should consider the size and energy level of a pet. Puppies and kittens are usually very active, but delicate creatures that must be handled with care. Large or rambunctious dogs could accidentally harm or knock over a small child or adult who is unsteady on their feet.
- Other animals in household – Consider the ongoing happiness and ability to adjust of the pets you already have. While your cat or a dog might love to have an animal friend to play with, a pet that has had exclusive access to your attentions may resent sharing you.
- Home environment – If a neat, tidy home, free of animal hair, occasional muddy footprints and "accidents" is important, then a free-roaming dog or long-haired cat may not be the best choice. You may want to choose pets that are confined to their quarters, such as fish, birds, hamsters, or reptiles.
- Landscaping concerns – With certain pets, your landscaping will suffer. Many dogs will be tempted to dig holes in your lawn, and dog urine can leave yellow patches—some say unaltered females cause the most damage.
- Time commitment – Finally, and perhaps most importantly, keep in mind that you'll be making a commitment that will last the lifetime of the pet—perhaps 10, 15, or 20 years with a dog or cat; as many as 30 years or more with a bird.
Choosing between a dog or a cat
Dogs and cats are the most common household pets. While on occasion, you'll see someone walking a cat on a leash or a dog that uses a litter box, typically the needs and natural behaviors of dogs and cats are different:
Typical Distinctions Between Dogs and Cats | ||
Characteristic | Cats | Dogs |
Indoors or Outdoors |
Housecats do enjoy being outdoors sometimes, but can wander off. |
Dogs need routine exercise and walks outdoors during the day (even if you have a large, fenced backyard where they can run and go to the bathroom, they will still need a daily walk). |
Training |
Essential training of cats usually includes using the litter box and not clawing furniture. Cats resist training. |
Dogs need much more training than cats. Most dogs enjoy training, because it gives them something to do. They also have an innate desire to please their people. |
Personality |
If you love serenity and independence mixed with playfulness, a cat is more likely to satisfy you. |
If you want to be greeted exuberantly every time you come home, a dog is a better choice. |
Sociability |
Cats are often content to be left alone (except, of course, when you'd rather they leave you alone). |
Dogs thrive on interaction with humans and other dogs. |

Owning a pet is not for everyone
Having a pet is not a miracle cure for mental illness. Owning a pet is beneficial and comforting only for those who love and appreciate domestic animals. If you're simply not a "pet person," pet ownership is not going to provide you with any therapeutic benefits or improve your life. For other people, owning a pet may simply not be practical. Some of the drawbacks are:
- Pets cost money. Food bills, veterinary care, licenses, grooming costs, toys, bedding, boarding fees, and other maintenance expenses can mount up. The unemployed or the elderly, on limited fixed incomes, may find it difficult to afford a pet.
- Pets require time and attention. As any dog owner will tell you, there's nothing therapeutic about coming home to a dog that has been locked up in the house on his own all day long. Dogs need daily exercise to stay calm and well-balanced; most other pets require at least daily care and attention. Pets can even curb some social activity, as they can only be left alone for a limited time.
- Pets can be destructive. Any pet can have an occasional accident at home. Some cats may be prone to shredding upholstery, some dogs to chewing shoes. While training can help eradicate negative, destructive behavior, they remain common in animals left alone without exercise or stimulation for long periods of time.
- Pets require responsibility. Most dogs, regardless of size and breed, are capable of inflicting injury on people if not handled responsibly by their owners. Even cats can scratch or bite. Pet owners need to be alert to any danger, especially around children.
- Pets carry health risks for some people. While there are some diseases that can be transmitted from cats and dogs to their human handlers, allergies are the most common health risk of pet ownership. If you or a family member has been diagnosed with a pet allergy, carefully consider whether you can live with the symptoms before committing to pet ownership. Also consider that some friends or relatives with allergies may no longer be able to visit your home if you have a pet.
Reducing health risks from a pet
Kids, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are at greater risk for getting sick from animals. Take these steps to reduce your risk:
- Wash hands thoroughly after contact with animals.
- Keep your pet clean and healthy, and keep vaccinations up to date.
- Supervise children under age 5 while they're interacting with animals.
- Prevent kids from kissing their pets or putting their hands or other objects in their mouths after touching animals.
- Avoid changing litter boxes during pregnancy. Problem pregnancies may arise from toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease spread by exposure to cat feces.

Alternatives to pet ownership
If full-time pet ownership is not right for you—or if you want to give pet ownership a trial run before making a commitment—some animal shelters offer pet "rental" programs. Dogs or cats that are available for adoption can be rented out for walks or play dates. If you already own a pet but travel frequently and miss your furry companion when you're on the road, some hotels offer similar pet rental services. Guests can borrow a dog for a day to play with or take out on walks.
Animal-assisted therapy and animal-assisted activities
Animal-assisted therapy involves the use of volunteers' animals such as horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and fish to interact with patients suffering from disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and a host of developmental disabilities. The animals have been shown to improve mood and reduce anxiety.
Pets can also be used for animal-assisted activities. A variety of different organizations offer specially trained animals to visit people in children's hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, hospice programs, shelters, and schools. During these visits, people are invited to pet and stroke the animals. Some might groom a dog, hold a rabbit in their lap, or have a cat sit on their bed, for example. Some dogs perform tricks or obedience routines to entertain patients and help take their minds off their problems.
To arrange for pets to visit your facility or to volunteer your pet for animal-assisted therapy or animal-assisted activities, see Finding Therapy Pets in Resources and References section below.

I will say all of the pro riders have and are still juicing it up: how can these guy ride 100+ miles for 3 week straight, go up these huge, long Mt. ranges and still have the endurance to ride long distances the next day? No one can do that if there not taking something.
It makes me so upset that you assume any cyclist is a doper. I am married to a cyclist and I have lived with many cyclist all over the world and I can tell you that it is in fact possible to do those 100 mile rides multiple times per week. That is what makes these guys so incredible and they dont need drugs to do it. Its a shame that everyone in America assumes all cyclist are dopers because it is far from the truth!

Remembering Mindy McCready - Radio Stations Paying Tribute to Mindy McCready
650AM WSM broadcasted the tragic news of Mindy McCready's death throughout the "Coffee, Country, and Cody" early radio show Monday morning.
Radio host Bill Cody knew Mindy McCready personally and had her on his radio show throughout the years. Bill Cody talked to FOX 17 about his memories of the country star and the dangers fame can bring to some.
Remembering Mindy McCready
Mindy McCready was born in Fort Myers Florida on November 30, 1970. Her given name was Malinda Gayle McCready. She began singing in church at the age of 3. When Mindy was 18, she moved to Nashville and signed with BNA Records. Her first album, "Ten Thousand Angels" , was released in 1996 and sold two million copies. She had a number one hit, Guys Do It All the Time", off that album. In her career, Mindy had 14 songs and 6 of her albums on the Billboard Country Music Charts. But in recent years, she had a number of arrests, served time in jail and lost custody of her son Zander. Her boyfriend, David Wilson, killed himself in January of 2013 in their home in Heber Springs Arkansas. Mindy's father had her committed to rehabilitation in early February 2013. He claimed Mindy had been drinking and taking prescription drugs in the wake of Wilson's death. She was reportedly released after 18 hours. Police were called to Mindy's home on February 17 2013 following reports of gunshots. Officers found her body on the front porch, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I keep thinking "what kind of nut goes out and runs for 3 hours non-stop?"
Yup. And I was looking back at my log from when I first joined RA almost a year ago and chuckling at my times. I have easily cut 2 minutes off of my average pace since then. If only I could see that kind of progress in the next year, but I think cutting one minute off in that time would be a more reasonable and attainable goal. k
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

More Cowbell!
When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, then you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
You rock, Kirsten! You've come so far in the past year. I'm totally inspired.
