"I am so proud of what I do," Burkholder continues. "I truly believe that I live an admirable life caring for cattle. I am devoted to quality cattle care and quality beef production. I want the consumer to know how much I care, and to realize that a term like 'factory farming' is a sensational term that has little in common with the way that I care for cattle and raise beef."
Burkholder says this is a very difficult topic to talk about. "Emotional issues are hard to write about, and I have been personally attacked on this topic and that makes it even more difficult. I tell my kids that 'the right thing is not always the easy thing to do', and I took that to heart when I wrote it."
Burkholder's article finishes with these sentiments:
I am an American.
I am a wife.
I am a mother.
I am a cattle caregiver.
I work at a CAFO.
I laugh, I cry, I love, I live, I care with every fiber of my being.
I hope that you think of me when you go the grocery store and look at the beef in the meat-case because it is people like me that care for cattle and raise beef.
I am not a factory.

The BMC Racing Team successfully achieved its goal of staying out of trouble and not losing time on Wednesday's rainy, cold opening stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, said Director Sportif John Lelangue.
Evans Fifth Overall
World champion Cadel Evans was third in a time bonus sprint, moving him to fifth overall. "We knew it was too close to the finish for the sprinters and it was uphill," Lelangue said. "So I told the guys to take a look at it the first time we went over it." Linus Gerdemann (Team Milram) won the race from a four-man break that finished a few feet ahead of the pack.

From The Orange County Register
Published: September 17, 2012
By Lynn Selich - People Watch for The Orange County Register
On September 5, 2012 at CHOC Children's Hospital of Orange County, the Argyros family, Julia, George and daughter Stephanie, presented a $5 million check to CHOC Children's for the first and only Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) in Orange County. The building will be named the "Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department" and is part of CHOC's new South Tower which is slated to open in April 2013 along with the ED.
The 22,000-square-foot Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department is designed to meet the unique needs of children. It features 31 treatment rooms, including 14 rapid medical exam rooms, and three triage suites.
The Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department is part of CHOC's new, 425,000-square-foot tower, which will also house advanced operating rooms, laboratory, pathology and imaging services – each with a dedicated pediatric environment and staff. The seven-story building, with leading design and safety principles, includes enhanced patient and families amenities to create a serene, healing environment for children.
"We are extremely grateful for the long-standing support of the Argyros family, and are thrilled by this most recent contribution which will help us achieve our vision and transform pediatric care," said Kim Cripe, president and CEO of CHOC Children's during the check presentation.
"Julia and George's $5 million donation is an amazing gift to the children and families in Orange County who will now have access to a world-class pediatric emergency department."
In addition to their $5 million gift, the Argyros family helped launch the hospital's comprehensive fundraising campaign, "Change CHOC, Change the World," with a leadership gift of $1 million in 2009 to name the surgery center reception area in CHOC's new tower. In recognition of that gift and in honor of Julia and George's daughter, the area is named "The Stephanie A. Argyros Reception."
"We are grateful to Julia and George Argyros for this transformational investment in pediatric healthcare. This timeless gift will create a lasting legacy for generations to come at CHOC," said Graig Eastin, vice president of the CHOC Children's Foundation.
The Argyros' have generously sponsored two signature hospital fundraising events, the CHOC Cherishes Children Gala and the CHOC Follies, for which Julia has also donated her time and talent as a cast member. Stephanie Argyros joined the CHOC Children's Foundation Board of Directors last year.
With the Argyros' $5 million gift, CHOC Children's has raised a little more than $120 million in their "Change CHOC, Change the World" campaign.

Incontinence & Overactive Bladder Health Center
How It Is Done continued...
While the catheter is in place, other tests may also be done to help find out whether the nerves that control urination are working properly. These include:
- Ice water test. Ice-cold water is injected through the catheter into your bladder.
- Bethanechol sensitivity test. Bethanechol is a medicine that normally makes the bladder muscles contract. In this test, bethanechol will be injected under your skin.
- Bulbocavernosus reflex test. To test nerve function, a gloved finger is inserted into your rectum and then the penis or clitoris is gently squeezed.
- Saddle sensation test. The skin around your anus is stroked or lightly pricked with a pin.
- Maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP). Urethral pressure is recorded as the catheter is gently pulled out of your urethra. This test helps determine whether the muscles around the bladder and urethra are functioning properly.
- Leak point pressure (LPP). Approximately 200 mL (7 fl oz) of sterile water is injected into the catheter in your bladder, and then the pressures are measured while you bear down (as if having a bowel movement). This test helps find out whether the muscles around the bladder and urethra are working properly. A low pressure reading may mean that poor muscle function is causing urinary incontinence.
Another test that may be done is the stress incontinence test. In this test, your bladder is filled with water and the catheter is withdrawn. You are then asked to cough, bend over, or lift a heavy object. Dribbling urine means stress incontinence.
Cystometry testing usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, but it may take slightly longer if any of the special tests are done.
After cystometry, you will need to keep track of how much you drink and how much you urinate for the next 24 hours. A burning sensation during urination is a common but temporary side effect. Drinking lots of fluids will help relieve this sensation. You may be given an antibiotic to help prevent a urinary tract infection.
How It Feels
You may feel embarrassed at having to urinate in front of other people. This procedure is quite routine for the medical staff. If you find yourself feeling embarrassed, take deep, slow breaths and try to relax.
You will feel a strong urge to urinate at times during the test. You may also find it somewhat uncomfortable when the catheter is inserted and left in place, and you may be sore afterward. If so, soaking in a warm tub bath may help.
Cystometry usually does not cause problems. There is always a slight risk of developing a urinary tract infection when a catheter is inserted into the bladder. In rare cases, a bladder infection can spread to a kidney and into the blood, leading to a life-threatening infection. If an infection occurs, it can be treated with antibiotics.

Do. Good Stitches Hexy Top
I asked for bright, summery colors, and the Love Circle ladies really did it up in that department. These blocks are so fresh and fun. And even though I didn't specifically ask for blocks with fussy-cut centers, almost everybody did fussy-cut theirs, adding another whole level of coolness to this quilt top. Among the blocks, there is a duck, a fish, an octopus (squid?), a sleeping princess, a cat, a giraffe, kitchen utensils, flowers, and—appropriately, on a couple of levels—several bees. So it's almost turned into an I-spy quilt. What an unexpected bonus!
When laying out the top, I staggered the blocks—I like the honeycomb appearance that gives. Although, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have asked the Love Circle ladies to attach the strips to the top and bottom of the blocks. The whole point of that was to make the block square—I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me that the block doesn't need to be square. It would have been much easier (and fewer seams) for me to attach one piece of sashing between each block. Well, lesson learned.
Thank you, Love Circle ladies! And FYI, there are two more hexy blocks that I'm putting on the back, so if one of your blocks appears to be missing, you'll see it on the back soon enough.
Updated to add: I'm jumping on board with the Hex-Along at Lily's Quilts! This looks like a really fun, loose, no-rules kind of quilt-along (which is the only kind I'm capable of joining at the moment). Basically, you're welcome to join with any project that includes hexagons in any form. So I'm in! Yay for dual-purpose projects!

Increasing value of home
I have been watching several shows including Love It or List It and it seems they always increase the value of their house when they do renovations, no matter how small. I have always heard that it is hard to get renovation money back when you sell a house. So why does the value of their houses keep going up usually twice as much as the renovation cost?
Hi Jalynnrm, welcome aboard!
My initial thought was to respond that it's because reality television is about the farthest thing from actual reality on the planet, IMHO.
OTOH, another, better answer might be that those are realtor estimates or projections only. They don't represent either appraisals or (even better) actual sales data.
If you review the relevant, current stats from U.S. closed sale data, you'll confirm it's extremely difficult and rare to receive any return on improvement **$ upon resale.
funny but that show seems to come from Canada and guess housing up there is more .But if you look most house's there are so tight together it amazes me .The only thing that will help a sale in the US is if you are in a high demand area .Updating paint colors in the house and just clean and declutter to make house look bigger .Remember cluttered kitchen cabinets and cluttered closets say a lot about space . fresh clean smell .Not fake candle smell or fake spray scent smell .Seems people notice the fake smells these days .
It is important that you separate what really happens in the US with what the TV programming says that it happens.
I cannot speak for the real estate in Canada, but in the US. unfortunately speaking we are in a very big slump regarding the housing market, and upgrades may make your home sell faster but the price is very much tied into what your area is selling for.
So far we are not improving much since 2004-06 in prices. hopefully we will in a few years. in the meantime, you don't sell unless you really have to.
Jal, Welcome to the Real Estate Boards!
A month or two ago I would probably have suggested that you would get more responses on the TV Shows Board but, since I have started watching "Love It, List It" recently, I do think your post belongs here.
The so-called increase in value is a figment of someone's imagination but it makes for a good TV show. Bottom line, the only way to increase value is through square footage and/or major renovations; cosmetic changes DO NOT increase value although they may help it sell faster than places that have not been up-dated.
Just to clarify - I was speaking of receiving a return on your improvement **$, not merely recouping the cost of the improvement itself. (You mentioned that those reality RE programs often claim that the homeowners doubled their money.)
Again speaking of U.S. closed sale data only, IIRC, even in the go-go days before the recent RE crash, renovators often stated that homeowners would receive an 80% "return" on a kitchen. So, in other words, a kitchen update would actually cost a homeowner 20%. Like the realtor's estimated, informal value as presented on the program you mentioned, those were sales projections, too - and may have been overly optimistic.
Yes, major improvements may increase the value of your home. By how much? Depends on many factors but it's highly unlikely that you'll recoup even 100% of your costs in both good markets and bad.
My links don't work but if you're interested, let me know and I'll provide a web address for the annual study (U.S. only) that breaks closed sale data down by area of the country, specific improvements and the % of cost recovery upon sale.
Hope that helps and makes sense -
All of the above, JMHO.This message has been edited. Last edited by: SurfNow,
The only way you may be able to get the money back on an improvement is to sell it right then ,just like anything most improvements loose value because they end up looking out dated over time or they are not the taste of the new potential buyer .I have seen that on house hunters ,lady says I don't like the color of the granite or the color of the kitchen cabinets or the floor covering ,realtor says it was just redone with in the last year ,well it is not my taste the lady says .No one has the same taste and what i like is not what others like .I look at square footage these days and what comparables go for in that neighbor hood .I don't think any one these days are ever going to get 100% back unless the home is in a hot market state that offers jobs .I can't understand those shows with realtors and designers that compare houses and all it finally comes down to is location not all the big money the people spent or the all the updates .Location and taste and square feet plus other homes on the market .
Agree, sissy. That was actually one of the many factors I was thinking of (but didn't want to take the time to post about) when I mentioned it depends on many factors, above.
Many homeowners neglect to consider their upgrades' depreciation. An improvement completed 15 years prior to a sale isn't going to yield much cost recovery, if any, even before considering that it's probably very dated. The seller already exhausted its useful life.
You're also correct about taste. Just because a seller throws in the obligatory slab of granite doesn't mean they'll automatically receive that salesperson's 80% cost recovery, especially if they selected an unusual pattern in an unpopular or non-neutral color. Even if they unload the place immediately -
It usually comes down to 2 factors - location and s.f., period. Yes, a home may sell faster with nice, tasteful upgrades but it'll sell at the same price per s.f. as other comparably sized and located properties.
Five years ago, when we bought this house we went to major renovations, kitchen, floors, bathrooms, additions you name it we have done it.
Well, the cosmetic renovations are now 5 years old. ie: appliances. therefore, they have depreciated. the rest of the renovations which includes the roof, re wiring gutters, painting, again they are all 5 years olders. Therefore, the depreciation is there.
The only thing that we have gained is the addition of square footage. Of course I am paying more taxes. and if I were to sell, my house would have to be compared to the ones with similar square footage, except for the rest, good luck is for my enjoymet only.
You are SO right....
It amazes me that people refuses to understand that only addition of square footage is what is going to increase your property value.
One reason for increased value of properties renovate on Love it or list it, could be because when they speak of the cost of the renovation they are only speaking of the cost of the materials. Not the labor.
Also the renovations, while not increasing sq footage do make the houses more useable, with maybe updated kitchens or bathrooms or sizes of rooms changed.
Obviously renovating properties does increase the value or we would not have had so many "flipping" type shows. Or so many "flipped" houses in different areas.
Although I recognize that having a renovated kitchen, bath etc, makes any home more attractive, When your are going to sell your home. they are going to be priced according to the square footage and the sold comps will also reflact that.
Cosmetics are great, but square footage is what prices a house.
If not ask any realtor.
If you want to increase your home value, you must
upgrade your kitchen appliances.
Modern change in bath room
Mostly use natural materiel
renew your paint

If you want to get highest and best price sell in a sellers market. Check with your local lenders or Realtors to find out if this is the case in your market.
I highly recommend doing any maintenance repairs first. Then spruce up with paint. Clean,clean then clean so more. Then take a good hard look,
call a Realtor for an opinion, as to not waste money for upgrades if the market is not responsive.
Real estate lady, you hit the nail on the head.
Hello, I have a question. I just bought a home its 1800 sq feet it is 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1/2 bath, family room with fireplace, formal living room with fireplace, formal dining room. The basement is finished 1700 sq feet. 2 1/2 attached garage.
My question is I want to make the full bath larger and I'm going to be making one of the bedrooms smaller to do so (by taking the closet out and opening it up into the bathroom, I want to change the bathtub-shower combo. I will use the space that was the closet to put in a nice soaker tub and make a small stand up shower.
Now for the big question. If I made the formal living room into a bedroom and added a walk in closet, would that depreciate the value of my home? The formal living room has a bay window with black marble and there is a fireplace in there as well that is made with black marble all original from 1961. I am keeping the bay window and fire place. Nothing will be changed other than adding a door and walk in closet.
thanks for any information or any thoughts you have.
You really should start a new post. Would you do that please?
A lady I know updated her house BIG TIME! She added a third bath, high-end carpeting throughout, enclosed a porch making it a 3-season porch. Now that she wants to move, she can't get the money she put into it and refuses to take a 'lessor' offer...she's been 'on the market' well over 2 years.
That's my true-life info...best of luck to you.
I really wish that TV viewers were somewhat more realistic as to what many of these shows really represent.
Love it or List is one of the programs that I laugh just by viewing it.
Understand the real state business and how it works, there are here in this message board may Realtors that will tell you that over spending in renovations just to sell, has never been a good idea. Renovate for yourself, and enjoy it.
It's all about comps in the neighborhood. Over-improving can come back to haunt you or on the other hand, bring extra equity.
Realtors, appraisers and banks all struggle with
over-improvement on a regular basis. If the sold comps are not to support - can be a bummer.
Because it's TV !! and value depends on today's market by region and neighborhood.This message has been edited. Last edited by: tessa89,

Really!!!!!!!!! yep, you must work for Love it or List it LOL
Any property when the owners put it up for sale they have to make the effort to see that it looks the best that they can. but over improving up and above the fair market value of their home is really not very intelligent.
And if you are going to renovate, make sure that you enjoy the renovation before you sell.
The days are over when people spent thousands of dollars on a home that they were going to put up for sale and expected a serious return on their investment.
I know we've discussed this before, I believe one can add value without adding square footage. I've seen many flips who do not add any, but just update a house.
Here is a listing I watched, lots of dark wood, it eventually sold, got a light bright redo and listed again, just sold for $1M more.
Why are you commenting on a year old post just because a spammer brought it to the top.
I wanted to ask a follow-up question, should I start a new thread?
Is it not ok to comment on older posts? Thanks.This message has been edited. Last edited by: siouxbee,

metwo was just letting people know it was an old thread brought up by a spammer. Sometimes we don't notice the old date on a thread.
Not sure if candy B is still around ..but to address hr post-... be very careful about elimating rooms or making them small...to make an adjoining room bigger.
Many people like separate formal dining rooms and a bedroom without a closet is NOT classified as a bedroom.

Weather guys... do you see any light at the end of the tunnel? When we can finally get rid of this heat and humidity and a nice cool dry refreshing breeze blows in giving us good hiking weather? Weather reports on TV and Radio show something like another week of hot humid thunder stormy weather. I see the extended forecast on this site (mountwashington.org) indicates rain every day for as far as it goes.
I haven't been up to the Whites since Memorial Day. I'm itching for a nice day but that seems real hard to come by this summer!

This year marked Deloitte's 14th annual IMPACT Day, a celebration of our longstanding commitment to our communities. On June 7, tens of thousands of Deloitte personnel volunteered on more than 800 service projects in 80 communities.
Many East Coast volunteers faced unusually rough weather due to Tropical Storm Andrea, but even record rainfalls couldn't stop Team Deloitte from achieving positive change.
Whether volunteering time to skills-based projects or community improvement efforts, outdoors or indoors, at schools, offices or centers, our corps of Deloitte blue shirts was visibly out in force throughout the U.S.
The power of IMPACT Day extends well beyond the volunteering on June 7; it is the centerpiece of our longstanding efforts in the community.
The majority of IMPACT Day projects were with nonprofits where we are active year round via pro bono work, board service and other means of skills-based volunteerism.
This IMPACT Day, we introduced our new community impact strategy called The Impact Imperative. This strategy builds on our organization's decades-long commitment to community with a sharper focus on the outcomes we can drive by doing what we do best – tapping into the skills and talents of our people.
As used in this document, "Deloitte" means Deloitte LLP [and its subsidiaries].

The Great Debate UK
from UK News:
Jeremy Hunt unveils Tory technology platform
As the three main UK political parties vie for positioning ahead of a general election to be held by June, the Conservatives unveiled their "Technology Manifesto" on Thursday in London outlining the key issues they would address if they form the next government.
Shadow Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude presented ideas on everything from improving broadband speeds to making government data accessible online.
Boosting broadband speeds would play a crucial role in stimulating growth by providing new areas of financial competitiveness, they said.
"This is central to the growth of the UK economy and will create hundreds of thousands of jobs," Hunt said.

Truman Posted November 5, 2012 By Carah Ong Election's Eve: Our Roundup of Some of the Key Issues Mitt Romney and Barack Obama on stage at the foreign policy presidential debate. October 22, 2012. Photo by Irina Lagunina, courtesy of Voice of America, PD. Election's Eve is finally upon us. Even after the longest presidential campaign in history, the two candidates and their running mates are scheduled to hold 14 events across eight states in the final hours. The current (as of 2 pm) Real Clear Politics average of twelve polls shows President Obama at 48.5 percent, with Mitt Romney closely following at 48.1 percent. Some have maintained this election is too close to call. Nate Silver puts the odds at 86 percent chance that President Obama will win the Electoral College. This morning, Larry Sabato and the Crystal Ball predicted that President Obama would likely win a second term. Here at Riding the Tiger, we aren't the prediction business, but we have been following the election closely throughout year and weighing in with historical analysis and commentary. In this post, we highlight some of the more salient issues in the election, as well as some issues the candidates didn't address but we wish they had.
