Memphis, Tennessee is credited with the first program started in 1988 and has since become a best practice model. Jurisdictions throughout the nation and other countries have adopted programs based on the Memphis Model.
The Salt Lake City Police Department, along with state and local agencies, created a committee in 2000 to evaluate how law enforcement throughout the country dealt with mental health issues. The Memphis CIT Program was identified and selected as the model.
Two Salt Lake City police officers were sent to Memphis to attend the Memphis Police Department's CIT Academy. These officers returned as CIT Coordinators and worked with the committee to start a statewide program with its first academy being held in April of 2001.
In 2008, CIT International, Inc. was founded with CIT Utah being represented as a founding member on its Board of Directors.
Organizations and agencies that comprised the CIT Utah Committee included the Salt Lake City Police Department, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Utah Chapter, the Veteran's Administration, the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, the University Medical Center, Valley Mental Health, and the Salt Lake City Grants Office.
Some of the benefits of the CIT Utah Program include:
In 2009, the Salt Lake City Police Department's CIT Program was evaluated by an outside organization. Their findings were published in two documents. Below is the brief report that includes highlights of the evaluation. The second document is the complete report.

US stocks closing: Hope that U.S. politicians would find common ground to steer clear of the fiscal cliff boosted stocks on Friday, though the gains were not enough to offset the week's losses.
Stocks recovered from early declines after leaders of the Senate and House emerged from a meeting at the White House and indicated they would be flexible in efforts to settle fiscal policy differences.
Democrats said they recognized the need to curb spending and Republicans said they had agreed to put revenue on the table following a meeting with President Barack Obama.
For the week, the S&P was down 1.5 percent, its second week in a row of losses. The Dow lost 1.8 percent, down for the fourth straight week, while the Nasdaq was lower for the sixth week, also losing 1.8 percent.
These are very small steps in the right direction, said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones in St Louis.
The more evidence there is that Congress will make a decision sooner, the more likely we are to see stocks rebound.
About $600 billion of automatic budget cuts and tax increases will start to take effect in the new year unless Washington reaches a deal. With memories of 2011's debt ceiling impasse fresh in investors' minds, many are worried this year's discussions could be drawn out or yield no agreement.
If all the changes go into effect, economists say it could tip the economy into recession. Investors have pulled out of stocks over the past two weeks, taking nearly 4 percent off the S&P 500.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 45.93 points, or 0.37 percent, to 12,588.31. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 6.55 points, or 0.48 percent, to 1,359.88. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 16.19 points, or 0.57 percent, to 2,853.13.
Shares of Penn National Gaming Inc surged 28.2 percent to $48.23 on its busiest day of trading in more than four years, after the owner of gaming and pari-mutuel properties said late Thursday it will split its business into a gaming-focused real estate investment trust and a gaming operator.
More than 10 million shares changed hands, compared with average daily volume of 629,000 shares over the past 50 days.
Dell Inc helped limit the Nasdaq's gains after lower PC sales hurt the company's profit. Dell slumped 7.3 percent to $8.86.
More violence in the Middle East also kept investors wary after Palestinian militants nearly hit Jerusalem with a rocket for the

|Oh Oh – Did you hurt yourself today? – falling out of your chair there when the Blackhawks scored and went up for good at 6-5 in game 1. That was one high scoring game let me tell you! I guess it could have gone either way, as there were a few penalties against the Flyers that weren´t called by the refs, but by the same token the Blackhawks sure committed some stupid penalties all by themselves, and had they not played some superior penalty killing the score surely would have gone the other way I´d have to say. Of course the Blackhawks scored that shorthanded goal on a Goalie breakaway, and that one proved to be the difference in the game. I think the end score would have been even higher for the Blackhawks had the Flyers not pulled their Goalie and replaced him. The Flyers definitely had the better scoring opprtunities, and outshot the Blackhawks, but Antti Niemi was great in goal when it counted. I told you the Blackhawks were going to be tough to beat – as they definitely have the firepower as far as goal scorers. They are not a pushover team when it counts – that´s for sure. Game 2 should be just as great if this was any prelude. As Dan Aykroyd would say in The Blue Brothers movie – ´´They are on a Mission from God´´. Great game! Hope the rest of the holiday weekend day went better than the game did? Weather was pretty nice here, and I might have even found a possible soulmate if my lucky stars are being true to me! We´ll see as I waiting to hear back from her – stay tuned – details on the 10 o´clock news – hahaha. Be good – bye for now. :~)

Is doing the job of holding the octopus in place, and most of the time keeps unwanted stuff from getting into the reg. Testing hard after few beach dives entering in the water with big waves, and being rolled and tumbled 3 times. I appreciate the fact that it hold my octo firmly in place , even after my snorkel and my weight belt were gone.The only negative : When you disengage the side "wings/tabs" create a lot of stress/stretch on the rubber mouth piece (little bite tabs)and it will probably tear apart the mouth piece with time/repetitive releases…Good material/quality otherwise.

The suit is great however I order the jacket and farmers john and one of them wasnt in and had to wait for both pieces before it was shipped. I had opt the additional shipping fee to get the items order in 3 business day and piad for it but the delay was waiting for Scuba.com to get both peices before shipping…kinda defeated the express idea of it.

Harold and Kumar Go To Trier
Matt Vast '08
Yesterday at our farewell dinner Dr. Redding asked about our favorite experience from the week. I had a very difficult time picking only one because nearly everything we visited was incredible. Never before have I spent an entire week with such little sleep and enjoyed every single minute of my time. However, I decided that my trip to Trier, approximately two and a half hours from Cologne by train, surpassed any other experience that I had over the course of the week.
Ian Scales ('10) and I left from the main train station in Cologne around nine' o'clock Thursday morning. We headed south for approximately 70 miles and arrived in Trier just before noon. First we headed just down the road from the train station to Porta Nigra, an old Roman city gate. Then we moved into the Altstadt, the oldest part of the city, and viewed some of the architecture and restaurants there, as well as visiting several stores in the shopping district. We then made our way to the southern part of the city, where we visited the birth house of Karl Marx. The entire house was filled with extremely intriguing information, and we easily could have stayed there for several hours; however, we had much more to see.
We headed across town and visited Constantine Basilica. This church was originally commissioned as Constantine's throne hall, and then used as a Catholic church. However, today the church is used as a Protestant Church, and it was the only church we visited the entire time that was Protestant. That fact allowed me to have a somewhat more personal connection with the religious significance than I experienced at the Catholic cathedrals. The building sustained extensive war damage in World War II, and the displays detailing the extensive rebuilding period were incredibly fascinating.
We then headed back around the city to several wine houses where we sampled some excellent German wines. Trier lies right along the Mosel River, in the region of the country considered wine country because of extensive wineries along the banks of the river. Sitting on the street completely immersed in the German culture with a glass of wine was my favorite experience from the entire trip. As it started to get late, we headed out on the train for Koblenz, where we stopped briefly in the station and ate before returning to Cologne. The whole day was incredible, and the experiences from both that day and the entire week will be with me for the rest of my life.

Last Chance for German Culture
Today is our last day to enjoy Cologne. Over the past week we have learned about key moments in the 2000-year cultural history of the Rhineland. On our first day we encountered the Roman foundations of urban life in "Germania." Then on Sunday we visited Aachen, where we learned about Charlemagne and the Frankish empire, which encompassed most of what we know today as Germany and France. On Monday we were back in Cologne. Our goal that day was to discover the culture of the Middle Ages via the great Romanesque and Gothic churches of Cologne. Tuesday was given mostly to Baroque culture, which we encountered at the beautiful palaces of Brühl and various buildings in Bonn. While we were in Bonn we deviated a bit from our chronology by touring the Beethoven Haus and the Haus der Geschichte (the museum of German history from 1945 to the present).
On Thursday, everyone had the day to explore their own interests. Professor Gomez traveled with Aaron Bonar and Tony Scheetz to tour the European Parliament in nearby Brussels. Mike Vick made the short train ride up to Düsseldorf to see Germany's fashion and shopping capital. Chris Vachon, Mark Schultz, and Matt Wynn spent the day over in Lüdenscheid with guest families that they got to know through a high school exchange. I spent the day visiting a Kindergarten and an elementary school with a former student who now lives in Germany. Ian Scales and Matt Vest traveled to Trier to see more Roman historical sites and to visit the Karl Marx museum. Matt Maher, Jake Huston, Phil McNelly, and Jesse James took advantage of the day to get to know Cologne better.
The last item on our agenda for this trip was a visit to the Museum Ludwig. It houses one of the best collections of 20th-century art and beyond. The highlight for me was the excellent collection of German Expressionists; a close second was the section devoted to American pop art and op art—the best piece for me was a large installation by Edward Kienholz called "Portable War Memorial." It was made in 1968, but seems particularly relevant today. Post-WWII German culture was profoundly influenced by American cultural trends. In art, Abstract Expressionists like Pollack and pop artists like Wesselman were very influential on the next generations of German artists.
After the museum we adjourned to a traditional restaurant for a farewell dinner together. We reflected on our week and I asked each student what his favorite part of the trip was. Charlemagne's cathedral in Aachen seemed to be the most common response, but the Cologne cathedral had a lot of fans as well. I also asked rhetorically what the least favorite part of the trip was. If I had pressed for answers, I suspect many of them would have mentioned the Max Ernst Museum in Brühl.
After lunch everyone split up to buy souvenirs and enjoy their last evening in Cologne, at least for this particular trip—most everyone seems certain that he will be back in Germany in the very near future.

'Bahnhof', 'Beethoven', and the 'Bundesrepublik': Ah, Bonn
-Michael Vick '10
Today we headed south again, but this time we headed past Brühl to the city of Bonn. The hometown of Ludwig van Beethoven and former capital of West Germany, the city offered its fair share of museums, shops, and churches. Shortly after leaving the train station in Bonn, we headed through towards the Beethoven house. After posing for a picture in front of a statue of the composer himself, we took a short side-trip to explore the Romanesque-style Münsterbasilika St. Martin (finished in 1248, the same year that construction on the Cologne Cathedral began). We continued on through the shop-lined streets to the Beethoven house, where Ludwig van Beethoven was born. After a tour of the house, where we saw the composer's personal instruments and the various "hearing aids" that he used near the end of his life, we got a chance to explore the house on our own and spend a few minutes browsing his music on the computer. After breaking for lunch, we reconvened in a nearby marketplace and spent a few minutes individually watching people shop and learning the dynamics and vocab. of the open-air markets. Next, we saw the Baroque winter palace of the Cologne archbishop and elect-prince, Clements Augustus—who we learned about in Brühl—which is now the University. A short ride on the U-Bahn took us to the Deutsches Bundesrepublik Museum, where we wrapped up our day walking through and seeing the last 50+ years of both East- and West German history. Most students headed back to Cologne to relax and have dinner, but those of us with a little more Wanderlust stuck around Bonn to visit the old government quarter and walk along the Rhein before heading back. Whether wandering through the marketplaces, touring the Beethoven house, or traveling through the Deutsches Bundesrepublik Museum, we had plenty of opportunities to experience first-hand some of the lessons that no textbook can fully impart.

Brühl and Back
Phil McNelly, ´10
Today, we went to Brühl and toured the Palace of Clemens Augustus, a Baroque palace. We weren´t allowed to take pictures of the inside, in order to preserve the beautiful decor of the walls and ceiling. The styling and artwork were very similar to that of Versailles in France. One of the most impressive ceilings was above the main staircase. The ceiling was a square, flat ceiling, but the artwork on it made it look oval and concave. So much so, that if the tour guide had not said anything, I doubt any of us would have noticed. We also toured Falkenlust, where Augustus actually lived,he did business in the palace. The man truly loved his falcons. Like many of those privileged enough to afford them, he owned hunting falcons that he took out in much of his spare time. While smaller and less grandiose than the palace itself, it still was quite large and ornate. This evident by the existence of a room whose sole purpose was decoration. After lunch we wandered the Max Ernst Art Museum for a while. Most of his works, painting and sculpture, were done in the 1920s as part of the dada movement, similar, in a way, to today´s surrealism. There was a lot of walking, but the rewards were worth it.
In Photo: Here's the view of Clemens Augustus' Baroque "work place" as we walk back from his residence...many, many steps away! But dog!!! It was worth the walk back!

Challenges Still Ahead In Tackling Child Poverty
September 3, 2013
Editor's Note: The following article is part of the West Virginia Press Association's series on the "Our Children, Our Future" Coalition....
Instead of calling it a "workshop", it should be labeled "A Symposium for Liberalism". Once again liberals are using "children" to advance their socialist agendas. Just looking at two of the items from their agenda, an "earned income tax credit (which ironically tend to go to people who don't pay any income taxes to begin with)" and an "increased minimum wage", helps point to the liberal ideology behind this latest movement. Don't be fooled. Just as a leopard cannot change its spots, a liberal cannot change its ideological agenda for more statism no matter how cleverly it is packaged and promoted.

MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- The villagers from Nango and surrounding prefectures celebrate annual open-air jazz concert in Tohoku, Japan, in 2002. This year, the 18th annual event is happening July 21, and will feature some of the best jazz groups from Japan and United States. (Courtesy photo)
Nango holds summer jazz festival
by Simon Bernard
Aomori Prefecture liaison
7/11/2007 -
TOHOKU, Japan --
-- The little sleepy village of Nango, located just south of Hachinohe, comes alive every July putting on the largest open-air jazz concert in Tohoku, Japan.
The villagers are celebrating the 18th annual festival July 21, bringing in some of the best jazz groups from Japan and United States.
Small beginnings: It all started back in 1989 by the Nango mayor who was a great jazz fan. Inviting local groups from Aomori prefecture to do an indoor show, they realized from the response of the fans they needed to expand. From 1990 on, they started having the shows outside and even built an outdoor amphitheater to hold the festival with Mother Nature surrounding the event.
Now thousands of jazz aficionados come to Nango from all over Aomori, Iwate, and Akita prefectures and beyond to dig on the sounds of jazz. The show starts from the mid-afternoon and continues with the cool sounds into the late evening under the twinkling stars.
Who's coming? This year's lineup should really appeal to jazz lovers of all ages. Starting at 2 p.m., the Grace Mahya Quartet (vocal, guitar, piano, bass, and drums) from Tokyo warms things up. Grace, who studied piano in the United States has already cut three albums and has played worldwide.
Next, The New Orleans Revival Jazz Band and Banu Gibson (clarinet, banjo, stand-up bass, trombone, trumpet, piano, drums and vocal) takes stage. Banu Gibson, an American award-wining musician, had her Japan début in 1996 in Nango as a guest singer with The World's Greatest Jazz Band. This is Dixieland and American Jazz at its finest.
The magical piano of Miki Akiyama follows. Miki, a local girl from Hiranai Town in Aomori has a hit album called Love In Nango. If this doesn't whet your appetite, stick around for Ichizou Hanada from just under Mount Iwaki near Hirosaki. He will entice you with his ability to infuse jazz with his Japanese instruments, the Tsugaru shamisen and shakuhachi.
After a 40-minute intermission, the Dusco Goykovich Quartet with Tomonao Hara start the ball rolling again. This international group of American, European and Japanese jazz musicians includes two trumpets with bass, drums and piano. Then look out Aomori, highlighting the festival, the Toshio Osumi Quintet (tenor sax, alto sax, piano, bass and drums) featuring Ryudo Uzaki (guitar and vocals) and the beautiful Takako Afuso (vocals) will take you deep into the night. These award-winning musicians will have jazz music lovers from all over Japan flocking to Nango with excitement. Although the show is scheduled to end at 10:30 p.m., shouts of encore will keep it going even longer.
Easy directions:
It takes less than one half an hour to get to Nango from Misawa Air Base. Go out the Falcon (POL) gate and start counting traffic lights. Turn left at the 13th light to get on the Dai Ni (No.2) Michinoku Expressway. At the first toll booth, pay 250 yen and get an expressway ticket. Continue straight, going past the Shimoda Mall and then the Hachinohe Kita interchanges, the expressway will merge with the Hachinohe Expressway as if you were going toward Tokyo. Get off at the next exit, Nango interchange, pay the toll. Go to the stop sign and turn right. Go about 1.5 kilometers and the venue will be on the right next to the Kakko-no-Mori rest stop. Traffic control will guide you to a parking area.
The concert takes place regardless of weather. Umbrellas should not be brought in unless you plan on sitting all the way in the back so you do not disturb the view of the people in front of you.
Buy your tickets in advance and save money:
Tickets are 4,500 yen in advance or 5,500 yen at the gate on the day of the festival, for adults. For senior and junior high school students, age 13 to 18-years old, tickets are 2,500 or 3,500 yen at the gate. There is free admission children 12 and under. Advance tickets can be bought at Misawa ITT on base. Student tickets are limited so buy early. Gates opens at 1 p.m.
This year again, Misawa ITT with have a bus that will leave at 11 a.m. from the base library and take you to the festival and back. This bus fills up fast so reserve your seats early. Call 226-3555 for more information.
Tips from a veteran:
There are no bad seats but if you want seats close-up, go very early and get in line with a cooler. Small camp chairs are OK but lawn and reclining chairs can not be bought in. There are a lot of stalls selling all kinds of food and drinks. There are also grassy knolls behind the semi-circle of seats where you can lay a blanket down and watch the show.
Camping and barbecuing rules:
There are very limited tent spaces available to camp just outside the gate of the festival site near the field and track area. You will have to arrive early Saturday morning if you want to get one. The tent sites are free, but you must sign in first. Tents and tarps are not allowed in the festival site. Barbecuing is only allowed around your tent if you are a signed in camper. You can not barbecue inside the festival site or make campfires anywhere.

Should I listen to the doctor?
So here's the back story. My cycle comes every month on time. In July it was a week late, in August it didn't come but it did come the first week of sept instead of the last.

Lower education
Business | Demand for the traditional, two-year MBA program is slumping
As unemployment figures rose the past three years, so too did the number of students seeking to raise their educational qualifications by enrolling in advanced degree programs.
But new figures reported by the Graduate Management Admission Council show demand for the traditional, two-year master's of business administration program is slumping.
More than three-quarters of programs responding to a recent GMAC survey reported a decline in applications last year. Forty-one percent reported that applications were down more than 20 percent. While Wharton and Harvard may never have to worry about filling classrooms, other schools that saw MBA programs as cash cows might.
For-profit education companies like Career Education Corp., DeVry, ITT Educational Services, and Apollo Group, which operates the University of Phoenix, have already seen their stock values drop based on disappointing enrollment figures, regulatory concerns, and legal inquiries. "They've had very high valuations going into 2004," said Alexander Paris Jr. of Barrington Research in Chicago. "As they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall."
With the economy improving, however, GMAC's Daphne Atkinson says student interest in MBAs may also be returning to historical norms.
Emotional drain
Every week seems to bring new reports of economists showing surprise at the latest economic data. One week the Commerce Department may release information about lower-than-expected growth, followed by a Labor Department report showing lower-than-expected unemployment filings. At the same time, corporate earnings miss the mark set by industry analysts.
Each announcement has an immediate impact on Wall Street. And filtering through these conflicting reports can leave the head of an individual investor spinning.
Recent studies suggest that many investors rely too heavily on the latest news, leading to irrational investment decisions. "That is true in terms of unfavorable, unsettling negative events, but it's also true for positive events," said Hersh Shefrin, a finance professor at Santa Clara University.
Experts say people tend to project recent patterns into the future, meaning investors will buy stocks and mutual funds that performed well last year but may be unwise investments now.
So what's an investor to do?
Create a long-term financial plan and stick with it. Rebalance your portfolio to become adequately diversified. And consider consulting with a trusted financial adviser who is a bit more emotionally detached from the situation than you are.
Balance Sheet
- After abruptly bringing back founder Charles Schwab to rejuvenate the company, Charles Schwab Corp. announced it would close 53 more branches. With the new closures, Schwab will have fewer than 290 branches, down from about 400 offices three years ago.
- Target Corp. plans to sell its Mervyn's business unit for roughly $1.65 billion in cash to focus its efforts on its more profitable flagship Target stores. Last month, the company sold its Marshall Field's stores for more than $3 billion.
- Financially troubled Delta Air Lines Inc. is shuttering one of its three call centers in India, but declined to discuss whether the move was related to a survey asking customers if they would be willing to pay a fee to speak to a U.S-based agent rather than one in India.
- New York governor George Pataki vetoed a bill to raise the state's hourly minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.15 by 2007. Gov. Pataki said a rise would have driven jobs to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. However, both the New York Assembly and Senate may have the votes needed to override his veto.
- Despite pleading guilty to a pair of felonies in the financial collapse of his former company, Andrew Wiederhorn won't lose his job as CEO at his new company. Fog Cutter Capital Group's board of directors voted to keep Mr. Wiederhorn and pay him $2.5 million while he serves an 18-month sentence.

POPLAR GROVE (WIFR) -- As part of the North Boone's ongoing strategic planning process, the district approved a new Communications Plan in April 2013. One of the new pieces of the plan was to develop ways for more people to see what is going on within the North Boone Schools.
Senator Steve Stadelman of Rockford was asked to be the first principal of the day since he is a member of the Senate's Education Committee which deals with a range of educational issues each year which impact North Boone.
Senator Stadelman was at North Boone Upper Elementary School for the morning of December 12 and then spent the afternoon at NBHS. He was able to visit classrooms and speak with students and teachers as well as help pass out student rewards in both buildings.
Senator Stadelman had the following to say about his visit: "I very much enjoyed the chance to get a front-line look into a day in the life of a principal, both the everyday challenges of running a school building and the rewards. I was impressed with the enthusiasm for learning that I saw in the administration, staff and students."
North Boone was grateful that the Senator was able to take time out of his busy schedule to see how a rural district functions.

Assume you are a Druid 3 / Ranger 5.
Can you attack twice with the Flame Blade when you use Extra Attack?
The rub is that it describes it as a melee spell attack, vs. a melee attack. As such its in the same category as Inflict Wounds and other touch spells as a distinct action vs. a regular Attack action.
Extra Attack only triggers when you make the Attack action
Even if you interpret melee spell attacks as being one and the same as melee attacks, the simple fact remains that Extra Attack only triggers when the Attack action is taken.

Name: Nebula
Designer: Chiaki Murata
Location: Osaka, Japan
Nebula is a minimal design created by Osaka-based designer Chiaki Murata of Metaphys. I went to the Metaphys office in Osaka today, and was surrounded by a heavenly assemblage of beautiful designs and talented individuals. I had the chance to sit down with Mr. Murata, and he is every bit as humble and talented as I could have imagined. He and his team introduced a few of their newest products to me, which I will have the great pleasure of posting within the next few days.
Nebula was the first design he introduced that caught my eye. I was able to play around with it first hand, and it is as unique as it is mesmerizing. The influence of this design comes from the traditional hourglass. However, instead of sand, flowing drops of LED lights filter through the polycarbonate surface. In order to set the timer, all you would need to do is press the button at the top. Each press of the button equals one minute. If you are cooking something that requires three minutes of simmering, you would press the button three times and voilà. It is a brilliant design that could be used for a plethora of occasions. Nebula can be battery operated, or connected with a micro-usb. Leibal will definitely be selling Nebula very soon. Tell me what you guys think!

Is it normal to feel "thumping" in my belly at only 10 weeks? What does that mean? Should I worry?
Sometimes-not very often-I feel "thumping" either on the bottom left or the bottom right of my belly. I don't want to think that there's something wrong, but, is it?

It does sound like the baby has hiccups, although 10 weeks sounds a bit early, but the baby just might be really close to the edge of your uterus, who knows. But nothing should be wrong as long as you aren't in a lot of pain. Gas can also do crazy things when you're pregnant!posted 08/27/2007 by Erasmussen
I just finished my 10th week and this is my second pregnancy. I have been feeling movement since last week. I don't care what the books say. I know what it is. It isn't often. It's like an occasional flutter. It is definately not gas.posted 09/02/2007 by Emotional 1
I am glad to know I am not the only one that is feeling movement of some kind this early on. I too am 10 weeks pregnant and have been feeling movement off and on for about two weeks. I thought I had started to loose my mind, but seeing as thought this is my fourth pregnancy I thought I knew what the early movements felt like but thought I must be crazy because all the books say 14 weeks or so at the earliest to feel movement.posted 08/29/2007 by Linney
This is my third baby and I am 10 weeks as well and I too can feel movments it's not gas, but lie one of the other ladies said little flutters. I definitly think it's our babies moving around. Screw the books they just give you the most common symptoms of when you should feel movments. You especially feel them on the 2nd or so baby. Because you know what it feels like. First pregnancy's you can't be too sure for the fact you never felt it before. I hope everyone is having a healthy pregnancy. Good Luck Ladies, as well as Congratulationsposted 09/04/2007 by 2kids1babyontheway
I too have been feeling movement early on in my pregnancy. Last night I felt two thumps. I know the books say that you won't start feeling movement until 16 weeks or so, but this is my second pregnancy and I know what I am feeling because I recognize it earlier than I did with my first. As long as you are not it pain or bleeding severely, I think you are okay.posted 09/04/2007 by Kannroyster79
It's nothing to worry about. This is my third baby and with all my pregnancies I felt all kinds of things in my belly, even early. Don't worry!posted 08/25/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I too am on my 3rd child and just felt a thump in my lower pelvis. I am 11 wks and I know it was the baby. There is no feeling like it!!posted 09/12/2007 by licorice
I am 11 weeks, and I feel baby move at night. This is my 5th pregnancy. As soon as I lay down I feel the movement for a few minutes. Then if I roll to my side I may feel it again for a moment or two. I think its ovious with as many ladies that are feeling this that perhaps some of the information in our pregnancy books is not 100% accurate. God Bless everyone.posted 09/14/2007 by MichelleM.H.
it sounds like what your are feeling, if it is a pulsing sensation- that it is most likely the blood supply to your uterus increasing. The vascularity and demand for blood is increasing dramatically at this point... hope that helpedposted 09/04/2007 by alleyKatt08

What Should You Do If Your Dog Tears an ACL?
If you are unlucky (like me), and your dog tears its anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) be forewarned; you are in for a bumpy ride. I love my dogs. They are healthy, happy and very active labs. But 18 months ago, when my Sophy tore her ACL I was just so unsure of what to do for her. So I did my research. Read one internet site and they tell you you can "cure it" by rest and confinement. Read another site and they say you should immediately take your dog in for surgery to minimize arthritis later in life. Well I made my decision for Sophy and was convinced it was the proper one.
Fast forward 12 months and my other dog Chester tore his ACL in a "sports injury". Having already gone through this once with Sophy, I did the research all over again. This time I made the mistake of telling someone of my decision and they verbally attacked me. They said "how can you play God with the life of your dog". At first I was horrified and felt ashamed; then I just got angry! Who was she to judge me. But it was because of that one comment that I started the Raising Healthy Dogs site.
And I have one crucial piece of news for you….we will all make mistakes. Just like our parents made mistakes raising us, we will make mistakes raising our dogs. All we can do is make decisions for their welfare based on imperfect and often biased information and the resources we have available to us. So if you dog tears an ACL, do your research, speak with your vet and a surgeon if necessary and shut out all the negative noise. Following is an overview of the problem and various treatment options. It was written by a vet and reviewed by a surgeon. For anyone interested, I chose TPLO for both dogs. If anyone want so talk about the experience or has questions, let me know. I am more than happy to share my experiences and tips for recovery.
To understand what happens when a dog ruptures his cruciate ligament, and how it can be treated, we need to learn a little about the anatomy of the knee joint.
Your dog has two cruciate ligaments in his knee. They criss cross the space between the femur and the tibia (hence their name), and prevent these bones moving forwards and backwards against each other. Between the two bones lie two little crescents of cartilage called menisci (singular is meniscus). These act as shock absorbers when your dog walks and runs, and protect the cartilage at the end of the two bones.
Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is by far the most common injury that can occur to a dog's knee. There are two common scenarios that occur when this ligament ruptures. Firstly, a young active dog hurts his knee while he's running around playing games or chasing birds. Secondly, an elderly dog with weakened ligaments or a degree of arthritis may sustain the same injury because the ligament has degenerated with age. In both cases, there is a sudden onset of lameness, and the leg is so painful that they can't put their foot down.
If your dog has ruptured his cruciate ligament, you have several treatment options to choose from. In most cases, surgery is necessary to prevent excess movement in the joint, which will inevitably lead to arthritis. Surgery also allows your veterinarian to tidy up any ragged edges to the menisci, which can cause ongoing discomfort.
Let's have a closer look at the different ways of treating a cruciate rupture in your dog.
Non Surgical Treatment
If your dog is small, you may choose to do nothing. When the acute pain resolves, little dogs may recover enough to be comfortable with being given pain relieving anti-inflammatory medication when required. Natural joint support products such as glucosamine and green lipped muscle extract can also help. It can take over 4 months before they recover to this level. This treatment option is really only appropriate for dogs under 30lbs, as heavier animals put too much stress on their knees. Keep in mind also that long term use of anti-inflammatory drugs can have effects on your dog's stomach and kidneys.
Prolotherapy can be useful in helping to manage a cruciate rupture if surgery isn't an option. This procedure involves injection of a solution into the knee which causes scarring around the joint. This scarring helps to stabilize the joint and reduce excess movement. It's a controversial procedure; it can have good results, but it can also lead to complications such as excessive inflammation. To get the best outcome from this procedure, it should be done by an orthopedic specialist.
If your budget allows it, surgery is still the best option for all cases of cruciate rupture in dogs.
Extracapsular Repair
"Extracapsular" means outside the joint capsule, so this method of repair doesn't involve any implants or modifications to the inside of the knee joint.
After the joint has been opened, and any damaged bone, ligament and meniscus have been removed, a strong suture is placed on the outside of the knee to take the place of the torn ligament. The suture is passed behind the fabella, a small bone that sits right at the back of the knee near the bottom of the femur, and then through a hole drilled through the front of the tibia. It is tied sufficiently tightly to stabilize the knee, while still allowing a normal range of movement.
Post-operative care involves 8 weeks of rest, then a gradual increase in exercise. Over time, scar tissue will develop around the knee joint, and this will reduce excess movement. The suture itself often breaks within 12 months after the procedure, but by then the knee should be held stable by its own tissues.
This procedure is quick, and inexpensive when compared to the more invasive methods of repair. It can work well in small dogs, and is particularly useful in puppies, where you don't want to make changes to the bones themselves while they are still growing.
Tightrope Procedure.
This is another extracapsular method of repair, but in this case, a hole is drilled through the bottom of the femur, and the top of the tibia. A double band of strong Fiber Tape is passed through these holes and down the outside of the joint, and serves to replace the ruptured cruciate ligament.
This procedure is relatively easy to perform, and is also more affordable than the repairs that involve cutting and manipulating the tibia. It has been shown to be effective in treating cruciate rupture in most sizes of dogs, however many veterinarians prefer to restrict its use to dogs that weigh under 70lbs.
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
TPLO is the most commonly recommended method of repairing a ruptured cruciate ligament in dogs. It relies on cutting and rotating the tibia in such a way that the dog's own weight bearing stabilizes his joint. After the tibia is cut and moved, a metal plate is screwed to the tibia to keep it in its new position.
This is a very complex procedure, and should only be undertaken by veterinarians who have had special training in how to do it correctly. It is expensive, costing several thousand dollars. There are several reasons for this:
It should only be performed by an orthopedic specialist.
- Multiple x-rays are necessary to make sure the cut in the bone is done in the right place.
- The metal screws and plate are expensive.
This procedure is suitable for dogs of all sizes. It is particularly appropriate for larger dogs over 50lbs, and for athletic dogs such as those involved in agility competition. It's not the best choice for dogs whose bones haven't finished growing, because the physical changes to the tibia can lead to their own set of problems as the bones continue to grow.
As with other methods of cruciate repair, exercise must be restricted for 8 weeks after surgery, and most dogs return to full function after 3-4 months.
Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)
This is another repair method that relies on biomechanics to stabilize the knee joint. The idea behind this relatively new procedure is that if the top of the tibia and the patellar ligament (the ligament from the kneecap to the front of the tibia) are realigned at 90 degrees to each other, the joint will be stable when the dog walks.
Again, the tibia is cut, but this time the front of the tibia where the patellar ligament actually attaches is removed, and moved forward. It is held in position by metal implants, and the gap between the front of the tibia and the rest of the bone is filled by a bone graft.
Although it doesn't sound like it, the TTA procedure is less invasive, and has similar results to the TPLO surgery. It too is expensive, because of the metal implants and because it must be done by a board certified specialist. Dogs that have had TTA surgery often appear to recover quicker than those with a TPLO, however by 6 months post-operatively, both procedures have a similar outcome.
The TTA is suitable for all dogs, and which procedure your dog undergoes may just depend on your orthopedic specialist's proficiency at each. You'll find that some specialists prefer to perform a TTA, while others feel that they get better results from the TPLO procedure.
Post Operative Care
Your orthopedic surgeon will prescribe pain relief to keep your dog comfortable and will give you specific advice on how to care for him after his operation.
After surgery to repair a ruptured cruciate ligament, the most important thing you can do for your dog is to rest him. Ideally, keep him crated and only take him out on a leash to go to the toilet.
Most dogs feel quite well long before their bone has healed, and this is when many owners start to take them for walks or otherwise increase their activity. This can cause breakdown of the surgery, so it is vital that you follow your vet's directions very carefully.
Post-operative physical therapy can be beneficial to dogs after this type of surgery. This can take the form of massage, hydrotherapy, and gently moving the leg through its range of motion. The results are reduced swelling and inflammation, and increased healing, which will improve your dog's demeanor and attitude.
A ruptured cruciate ligament is a severe injury, that can have long term effects on your dog's well-being. Fortunately, it can be treated and in most cases, this results in a return to normal function.
There are two main factors which influence which treatment option is right for your dog.
- Finances. Some procedures are more expensive than others, and your family budget will have a big impact on how your dog's knee is repaired.
- Your dog's age and size. Some procedures are not appropriate for young dogs, and others are less likely to be successful in large breeds.
- A third factor is your orthopedic specialist's preference, and their experience with each of the procedures.
Take the time to discuss your options with your dog's surgeon, and together you will decide on how to treat your dog so that he again can enjoy going for a walk or playing with you in the park.

WhaT about the wheel carts for there back end
seriously thinking of trying that
my vet can do the less invasive surgery
we r trying to take some weight off
& explore options
stroller & wheel cart
this is his second acl tear
he injured his right first
know his left they say is gone ?
It's heart breaking
& hard to know what to do
Our 16 month old 88 pounds (very lean, bordering on slightly underweight) intact male Spinone Italiano has a partial tear of his CCL. Struggling with a decision of TTA versus TPLO. TPLO scares me with articles of bone cancer after corroded implants. Thoughts for us? Advice from family vet sooooo different than advice from specialist.
This happened to my older dog. My dog could only walk on 3 legs. The vet said that means it is a full tear and loud cracking sound is the torn meniscus.
I chose a safer alternative to surgery and got my dog an acl ccl posh dog knee brace to support the injured knee so my dog could start walking from day one. With the knee brace support, the meniscus was able to heal as the knee was in alignment with the stabilization of wearing a dog knee brace during dog walks. The meniscus healed in just 4-5 weeks and the cracking sound was gone. A holistic vet told me when the knee is stabilized (with a dog knee brace ) then the pressure is taken off of the meniscus so the meniscus can heal without surgery.
My dog wore the dog knee brace daily for dog walks and in just a few short months my dog was able to walk normally again. Poshdogkneebrace.com has a Dog Blog with lots of helpful info to help your dog heal from a torn knee. Its worth checking out because dog knee braces do work and your dog heals safer, faster and better than surgery. Every vet surgeon wants to sell TPLO surgery because that is their business to sell surgery. But I did my research, read many many comments that chose the dog knee brace instead of surgery and their dog healed without surgery so why buy surgery. Unfortunately many vets want a referral fee for referring the dog to a vet surgeon or they do their own surgery which benefits them but not my dog. I love my dog so I did not want my dog to endure an unnecessary surgery. My dog has totally healed and is running and playing and never had the tplo surgery that the vets so desperately wanted to sell me. Good luck and please for the sake of your dog, look into safer options so your dog doesn't have to have a new injury, caused by surgery. I never heard of dog knee braces either, but when my dog had the terrible misfortune of tearing his acl ccl, I had to find the absolute safest way for him to heal without surgery.
I live in NJ and have a 6 1/2 yr old female Australian Shepherd that weighs just under 60lbs. This past Thursday night, she ruptured her left ACL while playing ball. I had her to the Vet yesterday and she failed the drawer test. My Vet recommended surgery because he feels that rehab alone will not be effective due to her size/weight. He's been practicing for 34yrs and does the more traditional method of surgery (extracapsular)…which will cost roughly $2,500 USD…and 8-10wks of PT following, which will most likely be a few hundred dollars per month (at the least). If I wish to get the other procedure done (such as the TPLO), I can drive an hour North to a Specialist which costs between $3,500 and $4k. Again, not including post-op rehab. He claims his method will be sufficient if I don't intend to do frisbee or serious athletic type exercise (like agility). At this point, I am willing to throw away the frisbee, Chuck-It ball, etc just to have a happy healthy dog again. It really breaks my heart to see her trying to hobble around on 3 legs. She is scheduled to see an Orthopedic Specialist next Thursday for a 2nd opinion. I have read so many mixed reviews from Vets, non-Vets, etc on surgery versus non (for all sized dogs)…so I'm really stuumped on which route to go. Again, financially it will be extremely difficult, but I really want her to regain her high quality of life with activity, etc (if possible). Tonight, she was trying to put weight on it here and there…and kept hobbling to me with her ball. So heartbroken.
Has Antony chosen to euthanize? My 95 pound lab 2.5 years, is manic for running and play, and tore his acl. I'm not sure I can even keep him quiet enough for 4 months rehab. The vet didn't seem to think the brace would work for him, says 50% chance other leg will tear. Not sure I can budget surgeries.
I was wondering if I could get an a-trac brace as the person on the first comment did,I live around 70 miles from the nearest vet (Scottish Highlands) and I don't have a car,my border collie has been limping on & off for about a month, mostly after a run but I stopped this as I don't want him suffering, so its just the garden for now,he is going to the vets on 28th July for X-rays so is a bandage or brace advisable for the time being and having his Metacalm painkiller & Glucosamine to dull any pain if it is a torn crutiate ligament,I definitely cannot afford a £2,000 or so bill !! Any suggestions would be welcomed,thanks
My dog tore her leg a couple of months ago so I am going through a similar situation that you are going through with your dog Sophy. Instead of getting surgery right away I wanted to try a leg brace so I ended up getting an a-trac brace from Woundwear. So far it has been working great! And hopefully I won't have to take her in for surgery. I hope Sophy is doing well too!
My 13 YO male Alaskan Malamute has torn both rear ACLs in the last 18 months. Both times I've used the ATRAC brace & within 3-4 months, he's back to walking his 1.25 miles/day without the brace & without pain or limping. They're easy to deal with, easy to measure & if you have any problems or questions, just call or email the. I'd recommend this brace to anyone. Wonderful results & wonderful people to deal with.
Thanks for sharing your story about Sophie! I have been going through a similar experience with my dog, Ralphie, who tore his acl about a month ago. I didn't want to go the surgery route so I ended up getting him an a-trac brace from Woundwear. It has been working great! Although I know there is still a long road of recovery ahead…but at least we are moving forward.

Heidi, Lucy is so very blessed to have you as her mom! She does sound like a special girl—and you sound like a loving, caring pet owner. I am so happy to hear your Lucy is doing so well. It is in large part due to your patience and diligent care. The world needs more pet owners like you who consider their pets to be family.
Thank you for sharing your story! My dog, Daisy, tore her acl about a week ago and I have no idea what to expect. Long recovery? Short recovery? Sassy doggy? haha but after reading your blog I have a better understanding. For now I got her a brace from Woundwear and it is working well. I just hope she can heal on her own so I don't have to put her through surgery

I have a Weimaraner/Lab mix ans I've just been told she has torn her ACL. We see an orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow morning. So far, we have been given a few different options, but our vet seems to think surgery is the best option because she weighs 93 pounds. She is currently about 5-7 pounds overweight. She was 102 pounds but we got her down to 93 pounds with increased exercise and healthy food. She just turned 5 years old and is VERY active. I have read great things about the TPLO surgery, which is also what our vet suggested. Does anyone have suggestions for recovery? My vet said that sometimes, light sedation is required to keep dogs calm during the crucial recovery period.
Thanks Frances, it really means a lot!
We've been doing our best to keep him "entertained."
He's really very intelligent and observant. He gets bored easily.
As of right now he's actually chewing at my textbook because he got bored with his toy.
My family is considering giving him away to someone guaranteed to get him the surgery. I hope it doesn't come down to that, but I think that's a better alternative than having to euthanize him if things get bad so. We're kind of 'stuck between a rock and a hard place'
Thank you for sharing your experience! My dog Pebbles tore her acl about a month ago and I have been looking for as much information as I can get about the injury…I'm not sure if I want to put her through surgery so I ended up getting her a brace from Woundwear to see how it would work out for her. At the beginning I could tell it bothered her by after a couple weeks she seemed to like it! I hope it continues to get better and I hope your dog is doing great as well!!
My family and I have an 8 month year old Labrador retriever.
He was doing fine- we worked him out regularly- long walks to the creek and swimming during the summer months, took him his first times out with us pheasant hunting (he mainly just walked alongside is and was just happy to be with is)–he was a solid, muscular little boy.
He had just undergone his neutering procedure when we started to notice him limping. His leg muscle was tight and the veterinarian that had performed the surgery prescribed anti-inflamatories.
He went for x-Rays.
We got the results last week. He had a ruptured ACL apparently due to a traumatic incident.
Recently, when he was let outside my mom left him unattended. She came back out and he was standing there, turned his head, and cried terribly–he then laid down. She couldn't get him to stand up after.
We're pretty sure he has messed up his other leg. He's been "hobbling" around on three legs now.
He's been on Glucosamine and resting except for while we are home. He continually jumps around, uses his hind legs to scratch at his body, tries to run to us after we let him out of his cage when we return home.. Etc.
To help alleviate pain while he is sore we put a heating pad on his behind.
We don't know what to do now. His quality of life seems ruined forever to us because of this injury, Afterall, he is just a pup.
We were told he will never be able to hunt, go on long excursions, etc. He will never be the same. The only activity we will be able to let him continue to enjoy occasionally will be a swim.
Any advice is welcome. My parents, brother, and I are all heartbroken, angry/upset, and depressed. This waiting game has only just begun but we're not sure what other actions we can take.
The breeder we bought him from has not been present. She has recently actually hasn't said anything to us since we took him to her specialist.
We are not even completely sure he can just be a "house dog." And even then he'll be restricted.
Help, advice, please.
We are not considering surgery due to financial circumstances.
I have a 4 year old Chocolate Lab/Huskie (approx. 80LBs). She has always had knee problems (knee caps moving in and out of place) since the very beginning. Due to the amount of issues with her knee caps it has weakened her ligaments in her knees over time. Ultimately, she tore her ACL in her back right knee. The surgery was a lot of money for me to budget. I knew the chances of the other one going would be high, but I decided I had to do something. Now come 6 months later and she was outside doing nothing out of the normal, her (back left) other ACL has finally fully torn. I am in a dilemma because I cannot afford to do another surgery. I am lucky enough to know a vet and have gotten a deal on some anti-inflammatory meds for the time being. We have an appointment this week. I know the vet will say we have to do surgery again. I won't be able to provide that for her this time. I have done some research. I am curious what your advice is on what you would do in my situation? Do you manage the pain? She is only 4. This is a very tough decision for me.
I have a adorable 7 years 4 months old dogue de bordeaux who I think may have damaged her cruciate she is currently on pain relife I believe it's called rimadyl 100 mg .She is a little stiff on a morning and dose not put her full weight on intermittent sometimes looks fine sometimes limps.The problem I have is she has heart condition that requires medication I was told 2.5 years ago that she wouldn't last 5 months as worst case they had had but she is fighting on relatively good odd off day due to meds but happy dog.I would do anything to give her healthy happy life but I understand that knocking her out to x ray or operate she is unlikely to come through due to heart problem at wits end as dont know what to do for the best do I chance x ray or give her longer on pain relife hopeing she improves I'm so unsure what to do my vet has gave a months course of pain relife to see how it goes after this I will be left with a predicament I know she couldn't manage without pain relife at minute but x ray could finish her off just bit of advice on what people think I know it's expensive but would go without to help her just want to get it right thanks.

Both my 7 and 8 year old cocker spaniels have had TTAs at their
current age and have gotten along very well. The surgery is a
little expensive, but my dogs are worth it! My advise is to find
another vet. Plus it never hurts to get a 2nd opinion anyway.
For now, the vet's office should have a sling/leash that you can put
around your dogs belly to help hold him up when you take him out.
They give these to you after the TTA to help support them
temporarily while healing after surgery when you take them outside.
I have a 11 year old border collie that tore acl vet says no to surgery because strength in rear couldn't handle. What is there out there to help him he is very stubborn.

My dog, Willy, tore his ACL about a month and I got him the A-Trac brace from Wound Wear. At first I had some issues with rubbing of the skin on his uninjured leg by the velcro straps but resolved it by covering it with a towel. Overall the brace has been wonderful and Willy has tolerated wearing the brace very well! I even think he enjoys it 😉

I asked about wrapping too…my vet said NO. you have no way of knowing if you are cutting off circulation, esp to the paw.
I am having UCLCERS over this. my 9 1/2 year old cocker, had just gotten a clean bill of health after 4 cancer surgeries. we were really enjoying this summer. he so loved to hike. he chased a squirrel, zigzaged, got his leg caught in a flower bed border and next thing I knew he was limping. had it xrayed, yeh torn acl and whatever it is to the knee cap. the technical terms make my head dizzy. anyways, because of his weight and age the Vet strongly refused to do surgery. he said, it will just re rupture before it heals. he did not like the wrap type braces, so i went with the expensive hard hinge type, we just got it today custom made from a cast. it looks hideous and weighs allot. no way he can wear that thing around the house, how can he possibly sit or lay down? must be only if I take him out. for now I been using a dolly cart to get him from his beds to a door to go out to potty, I can lift him, but i cannot carry him. he weighs 60 pounds. his limp is awful. we keep him doped up on tramadol. rimadyl makes him ill, we cannot use it. I have to hand feed him and bring him his water several times a day. he can barely crouch to have a bowel movement. I am so sad. the vet said in a year, he will rupture his other leg. you would think with all the hiking we do his muscles would be strong, I don't understand how this could happen. the Vet said nothing will fix him, he will never be "fixed"..I think he was hinting about putting him down. after we won the battle over cancer and he was feeling so perky, I just did not have the heart. so now I am by his side all day and night, he has about 6 beds around the house to switch from. as he gets tired laying in one all day. anything beter than Tramadol for pain for him? I know when the other side goes… I will have to make a decision. I already spent thousands on his cancer surgeries. even if I found a Vet who would, after paying $700 for this ridiculous brace, I am broke. anyone else used these had tamarrak hinged braces? is he right about his leg? and to refuse surgery? I heard surgery is very painful even more than the injury, I am thinking what do they call it pallative care, heavy pain meds till he has become so depressed then we will have to do something. I heard different stories, one says it could heal in 3-4 months and others say it will never HEAL it has to be reattached. who is right? do these braces really help? or will it cause insult to injury? and what about stronger pain med suggestions? he gets so bored, as he used to be an active dog and tries to wander and probably making it worse, I need to sedate him more. he is already taking 1 50mg every 8 hours. suggestions appreciated. just not FAIR..and confusing. exp to see a VET so against helping my dog, esp after we battled cancer…and won. I am in tears!
My 7 1/2 year old lab is having knee surgery on her acl. Do you have any advice for her recovery. She will stay inside and be walked 3 times a day to go to bathroom. No furniture to climb on. What else should I know about.
Heidi thank you so much for your post. We rescued a german shepherd/Belgium mix. At 5 months old he thought he'd test out his puppy flying skills. He landed funny and tore his ACL. I have been hem-hawing on what to do (bones still growing type of thing as you described). But after reading your post I feel much better about waiting till he is done growing before getting the surgery (we are doing same one as your puppers did). We do only only one more hurdle than you….we have another dog who loves to play with his new puppy friend. That part has been the worst. Telling my boys they can't play. Hopefully his surgery will go as well as your baby's did. Thanks again.
We are just now in the throws of dealing with a possible diagnosis and recommendation for surgery. We meet with the orthopedist later today. My biggest concern beyond the cost (!) is rehabilitation. Our home is not accessible without going up one flight of stairs. Any thoughts or ideas on how to manage getting recuperating large dogs up and down stairs during recovery? Thanks!
My 12 year old yorkie , who is very active and in great shape. Has torn her ligament or so it seems on her left leg. She has degenerative joint diseases on her right leg and on her spine. She has had acupuncture treatment before and her Dr suggested to sedate her to get a detailed XRAY of her knee. We are going in tomorrow morning for this scan. I find your experience very helpful and will appreciate any advice you may be able to give me. I don't know if I should take her to and orthopedic specialist for surgery or stick to the acupuncture ? Thanks
My 9 year old Boxer tore her ACL a few days ago. She's on pain meds and antiinflammatories. She also has severe arthritis in both hips and knees. I don't want her to have surgery due to her age; she's doing well on the meds. Would it be beneficial to wrap her leg to give it some stability when she has to walk on it?
I have a 12 year old PeekaPoo who had been limping for about 1 1/2 weeks. When taken to the vet I found out he had a torn ACL. The vet did not pressure me into any surgery. He gave me the option of surgery or pain pills to keep him comfortable. Most everyone I know that has had the surgery has told me because of his age and because he is small, they would not have the surgery done. But I don't know if I can stand to watch him limp around the house. He was a very active dog and it just breaks my heart. I have decided to wait 2 wks. and see how he is doing and go from there.
My Lucy is a lab/boxer mix. She is now just a few months shy of 2 years old. When she was 5 months old, she became lame, rear left leg. I thought rest would help and she was due to be spayed. 2 weeks of rest didn't help so I had her evaluated. Xrays were taken and she failed the drawer test. Because of her age, I was referred to a University Teaching Vet Clinic. More xrays and again failed the drawer test.
Because of she was so young, surgery wasn't an option because her growth plates weren't closed. It was recommended that I proceed with conservative management. I felt overwhelmed. How was I going to get thru the next 7-9 months? I had a 5 month old lab puppy that needed to not run or jump or be on any sort of slippery surfaces. I look back on how I managed and I have to say that it's a miracle!
First I bought 2 42″ high exercise pens and made my living room into an 8'x 8′ space, with an attached XL kennel. Save place to be all day and not be confined to a kennel. Checkmark!
Second, her boredom levels skyrocketed and she started eating all her toys, even the ones I thought were chew proof. The search was on for safe objects to leave in her ex-pen while I wasn't there to supervise. I found white shin bones stuffed with good stuff. I also found hollow white shin bones…that I stuffed and froze with various treats/kibble. I found treat balls, the egg one and the double ball one worked the best. I filled those with her kibble as well, with a few treats to make her think there might be more. I froze kongs filled with kibble and sealed with cream cheese or peanut butter, until started eating those. Elk antler was safe, as was a stainless steel water bowl. (she chewed the plastic one up) Items to occupy her daytime boredom and eliminate the need to check poop. Checkmark!
Third. I need to make sure she didn't run puppy races in the house. Baby gates to the rescue. It took 3 of them to close off rooms so I could limit how much of a run she could get. I got it down to about 8′. No running! Checkmark!
Fourth. I needed to eliminate any slippery surfaces in my home. Arg! My entire kitchen floor is ceramic tile..:( Soo..I bought carpet runners that come on a roll and are cut to length at a local hardware store.
I measured my kitchen and got rolls cut to length and laid them out. My white ceramic tile turned into grey carpet! I now got to vacuum my kitchen floor instead of wash it. No slippery surfaces. Checkmark!
Fifth. Exercise she could do. I did daily walks with her, but did them in a local cemetery. It was quiet there. I put her on a field lead so she could have more freedom and let her wander. She loved it and I liked there was no pulling or tugging at her leash. I also found an indoor, above ground pool, for dogs. I took her swimming 1-2 times a week. She loved and still loves to go swimming. Go figure, a lab that likes swimming!
Sixth. Social time. Before her injury, she went to doggie daycare. She loves other dogs. That had to stop. So in place of that, I found a local kennel, that would do daytime boarding, a couple times a week.
That gave her some exposure to other dogs, but she never got to play with them. It also provided some socialization for her. I also took her everywhere I could. I took her to stores that allowed pets, pet fairs and garden centers. I also took her for rides. I started her in a medium carry kennel, she now has an xl one, we call it her box. Provide socialization. Checkmark!
Lucy remained on leash, outside of my home, from the time she was 5 months old, until 8 weeks after her surgery, approximately 1 year.
I opted for the Tightrope surgery for her. She had it done in late 12/2013. The vet commented what good shape she was in. Her bad leg had good muscle tone. Her coat is glossy from all the supplements I give her. Her weight is optimal, at about 70 pounds. I weigh her food portions to make sure she's getting exactly what she needs. Her treats are all wholesome, with an ingredient list you can pronounce.
So it was about middle of March, 2014, Lucy got to go pee and poop without someone standing over her and watching! Yah!
She healed nicely, with no complications. She's spoiled rotten, sweet as can be, obedient to hand commands and words. She's learned to bark, but still doesn't like to do stairs. She loves bully braids and asparagus and salmon. She won't eat strawberries but loves blueberries.
Her left foot was smaller than her right, but now, almost 6 months post surgery, you can barely see the difference. She does have a skip in her step. The vet and I discussed and think she may always have that. She was so young when this all happened, it just might be the way she learned to run.
It's been a long journey. I truly didn't sign up for level of care she needed. But I also couldn't ask someone else to take on the responsibility of a special needs dog.
I still don't let her run and get crazy with other dogs. I don't have enough control over her puppy brain to interrupt her instincts to play or chase.
I'd like to think her other knee won't have issues. I'm more realistic than that. I have a savings account going for her next knee surgery. If it never happens, bonus! I get to go on a well needed vacation!
People ask me, when they see us together, how I got such a well behaved Lab. I smile and just say what a special girl she is.

CF/CD Recorder
A.Yes. First, follow the procedure for writing multiple CF card selections to a CD-R/RW disc, and burn the first disc. When CD writing is completed successfully, the CD-2 will ask you if you want to write another disc by displaying the message, "Writing Completed. Another Disc?" If you want to write another CD-R/RW disc, press ENTER. The CD-2 will then prompt you to insert a blank disc and execute another CD write procedure. You can repeat this process to write as many CDs as you like.

Has anyone else noticed the high number of players that were granted their releases from their schools? Anyone know if any of them are any good, eligible immediately or not? I know nothing about them, but there is a lot of them. Maybe we shouldn't get stuck on Lockett. Am sure Freddie and the boys are keeping their eyes on the "transaction wire."
I'm guessing 2/3 of Lockett, Pelle, Uthoff is the main priority in that order, with Uthoff behind the first two by a bit.

Visit Pornstars Analyzed
Let's play a little game. How many words can you find in the sitename Pornstars Analyzed? There is the word "stars" following the word "porn," of course. However, look a little closer and what do you see? Yes, that's right. "Anal" starts off the second word.
They're so sneaky the way they get that in. You almost think you're going to see psych evals for pornstars, but there is nothing psychologically freaky about the way they get juiced-up man-rods into these horny pornstars' butts.
PornstarsAnalyzed has 148 videos. These are straight hardcore scenes with no setup and no pretense. The pornstars are there to enjoy some nasty anal action and everyone knows it. After the camera hones in on the babe for a bit, things move on to either toys or the penetration right away. In the end, a cock always ends up in a girl's ass.
The videos can be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded in a couple of MP4 formats, including one that offers good-quality playback. Each vid comes with a set of vid caps. The images are typically blurry, but they give you an idea of what you'll see in the vids. You'll see a few of these women take on two dudes at a time and you'll even enjoy some hot DP action.
There are also 114 photo galleries. They come with high-res pics that you can download in Zip files. Some of the spreads show better-known performers having anal sex and others show pornstars posing solo. Even then, some of the ladies spread their ass cheeks and stick toys up their butts. Some sets are comprised of a mere 15 or so images, while others bring you more than 80.
There are nearly 50 bonus sites included with a membership and they are all part of the Pornstar Network. Many offer straight hardcore action, but there are softcore sites and ones that deal with different fetishes, like on Real Squirt, Hostile Fucking, Sperm Cocktail and Melissa Doll.
Pornstars Analyzed is a website worth joining. It hasn't updated since the start of 2011, but it still provides you with enough hot butt-fucking action to make getting a membership worthwhile.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I would like to convert my bike in electric assisted not using any conversion kit and with limited knowledge about electricity. Goal is to make bike for uphill assistance to make uphills painless.
Since im unsure i would appreciate opinions.
plan is to buy:
-front wheel 250W 24V hub engine
-2x 12v, 12Ah lead-acid batteries (made for motorcycles)
-rear wheel rack (as batteries holder)
-some kind of thumb throttle controller
-car battery charger
mount hub motor on front wheel, mount rack, fasten batteries on, connect them in series, do the wiring and in theory it should work.
since i never drove e-bike before i wanna know if this hub motor makes any resistance to free wheel spin when not powered and how hard is to pedal against that.

Custom URL support for Upstream Tracker Project
One of the features available on the Upstream Tracker project is the ability to process custom URLs to track upstream package versions. This allows URLs to contain regular expressions which are processed using the re module in python. To demonstrate this feature, let me post a few sample inputs and outputs that were generated using this module.
Custom URL : http://coherence.beebits.net/download/Coherence-(.*)\.tar\.gz Coherence-0.6.6.2.tar.gz http://coherence.beebits.net/Coherence-0.6.6.2.tar.gz Custom URL : ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/gimp-help-(.*)\.tar\.gz gimp-help-2-0.11.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gimp.org/gimp-help-2-0.11.tar.gz Custom URL : http://code.google.com/p/giver/downloads/list/giver-(.*)\.tar\.gz giver-0.1.8.tar.gz http://code.google.com///giver.googlecode.com/files/giver-0.1.8.tar.gz Custom URL : http://sourceforge.net/api/file/index/project-name/libyui/rss/libyui-(.*)\.tar\.gz libyui-gtk-2.21.96.tar.gz http://sourceforge.net/projects/libyui/files/libyui-gtk-2.21.96.tar.gz Custom URL : https://launchpad.net/dee/+download/dee-(.*)\.tar\.gz dee-1.0.10.tar.gz https://launchpad.net/https://launchpad.net/dee/1.0/1.0.10/+download/dee-1.0.10.tar.gz Custom URL : https://launchpad.net/dee/+download/dee-0\.(.*)\.tar\.gz dee-0.5.22.tar.gz https://launchpad.net/https://launchpad.net/dee/0.5/0.5.22/+download/dee-0.5.22.tar.gz
From the above examples, we can see that the module supports projects hosted on sourceforge as well as projects where the download pages are accessible via HTTP and FTP. It is also possible to narrow down and search for only 0.x branch of a package using suitable regex as shown in the last example. The module tries to implement complete regex support and does this with the help of the python re module. However, to identify if a term has to be evaluated using re, we look for parenthesis. Thus, regular URLs with parenthesis would be treated as regex terms and would be processed accordingly. For example, consider the URL below :
Here, we list all the links present at https://launchpad.net/dee/+download/ and apply the regex dee-0\.(.*)\.tar\.gz on each of them. The links that conform to the format are processed to obtain the latest version and the location or the absolute URL of the tarball/source code. Here, dee-0\.(.*)\.tar\.gz is considered as the regex term as it contains parenthesis. Hence, currently, all regex terms should contain parenthesis '( )' and should NOT contain '/'.
As work continues, there would be ways to escape the parenthesis which would enable users to work with URLs which contain parenthesis.
