Hello Tim
First get the mobipocket creator (it's free) from the mobipocket website:
Now the building of a mobipocket (the kindle reads this format) eBook:
1 - save your ocr result in formatted text (*.txt), not rtf . Its' better to always begin with an unformatted text than it's to "unformat" a ocr result;
2 - open the text in word, format it at will. Use styles, at least "normal" for the text and "heading 1" (2, 3 etc… if you have multilevel headings) for your chapters… this will guarantee that when building the eBook in mobipocket creator, it generates automatically the table of contents;
3 - save the result as one html file - you can import other formats but my experience html gives the least problems;
4 - open that file in mobipocket creator and fill in the metadata, put in a cover image and guarantee that it will build a table of contents from the "headings" of the html file file you have created - in the table of contents option of the program choose "create" and put "h1" (without the "s) if you have one level of headers (heading1), "h2" if you have a second level of headers too (heading2), etc;
5 - do not forget to save your work so you can come back if needed;
6 - when everything is completed choose "build", it will generate your eBook with an extension of *.prc;
7 - load the file in your kindle and enjoy.
Note: if you have doubts, juts navigate the website from where you downloaded the mobipocket program for tips on how to procede.
Best regards,

Do you like the new logo? Do you like the new colors? Do you like the new uniforms?
They do have an email database that they use to send out weekly news and order forms for tickets to other events/concerts. I don't know why the chose not to survey the season ticket holders? I have email addresses for some of the management. I have not contacted them because I'm fine with the new logo and jersey. I wasn't excited or pissed off by the new designs. I'm beginning to like the simplicity of the logo. I have to reserve judgement of the uniforms until I actually see one. A couple modeled by 3 players, Espo, and Andreychuk just don't give me enough to make a decision.
I know boltsfan2029 and talked with her prior to her meeting. I relayed that I would like to see the victory stripes and bolts on the pants remain with the new uniforms. So, I haven't been completely laissez faire about the changes.

It was so retro, the colors, music (Beach Boys, Buddy Holly) I was in 7th heaven. They had real hamburgs, french fries and real milkshakes made fresh. The soda fountain was wonderful I was in Love. Next was the crawl wall. They thought I would be nutty enough to try this out--NOT I am so afraid of heights. Table tennis was my speed. I found a quiet place to be by myself to enjoy my thoughts.

Meidl's sacrifice fly ends wild intra-city game
East nips West, 11-10, in 'Battle of Tosa' Saturday
It was an ugly, but certainly exciting game, as Wauwatosa East edged Wauwatosa West, 11-10, in a back-and-forth battle Saturday afternoon at Breitlow Field.
In the annual 'Battle of Tosa' baseball version, a packed house on a brutally-hot day watched the Red Raiders jump out to a 6-2 lead through four innings.
But then the fun started.
The Trojans came to life and scored five in the fifth to take a 7-6 lead.
The Red Raiders then scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to jump back on top, taking a 9-7 lead into the final inning.
Facing its last at-bat, Tosa West scored three times in the top of the seventh to take a 10-9 lead.
Not to be outdone, the Red Raiders scored twice in their final at-bat for an 11-10 win.
"It was a great baseball game," Tosa East coach Brian Karas said. "Both teams had a chance to fold up but stuck with it.
"They fought back, picked each other up when someone made a mistake."
Seventh inning
West's Mickey Morgan was safe on an error to start the seventh, Jake Boudreaux walked and Willie Belknapp moved both runners up on a ground out to second. Nick Orlowski then walked to load the bases.
John Syburg then was safe on a fielder's choice when he grounded to second and Orlowski was forced at second allowing Morgan to score and Boudreaux to go to third.
At that point, the game looked to be over when JJ Belknapp grounded to second, but a poor throw to first let Boudreaux score to tie the game and moved Syburg to third.
Ben Zachman then ripped a single to center scoring Syburg for a 10-9 lead.
Tosa East's seventh inning started like West's did, as Jacob Martin reached on an error by the third baseman.
Derek Wulff then put down a beautiful bunt on the first-base line and beat it out. Colin Trautschold then dropped a bunt down the third-base line and beat it out to load the bases.
Steffen Uhrich then grounded out to third, scoring pinch-runner Bobby Russ to tie the game and Wulff and Trautschold alertly moved up on the play.
Jonah Meidl then ripped a deep fly ball to center and when Austin Jones caught it, Wulff raced home with the winning run and was mobbed by a hysterically-happy Red Raiders team.
"I just tried to clam down," Meidl said about his approach in his final at-bat. "I wanted to look for a pitch and elevate it."
Raiders' fast start
West's Tyler Gross had a shaky first inning, as four walks and an RBI single by Bryce Kratzer and a huge two-out error by the rightfielder allowed the Red Raiders to take a 3-0 lead.
Jones doubled to lead off the second and Morgan singled him to third and stole second. After a pop-up out, Willie Belknapp's ground out to second scored Jones and Orlowski's single to left scored Morgan to cut the lead to 3-2.
Singles by Trautschold and Meidl and a huge two-run double by Ben Carpenter then gave East a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth.
West bats around
The Trojans then sent 10 men to the plate in the fifth inning when they scored five times to a take a 7-6 lead.
Tosa East didn't help itself with three walks and two key errors, while West got big hits from Jones and Syburg.
Jones opened the scoring with a two-run single, Morgan had a sacrifice-fly RBI and then Syburg had one of the biggest hits of the day.
The slim left-handed hitter took an outside pitch and slapped it down the left-field line, scoring two runs and giving West the lead.
East regains lead
With one out in the sixth, Uhrich singled to left and went to second on a wild pitch. He then scored on a triple by Meidl. Carpenter was safe on an error by the shortstop and advanced on a wild pitch. Kratzer then ripped a single to center scoring both runners for a 9-7 lead.
"We played well enough to win," Tosa West coach Chad Mateske said. "We did not executive to take control of game. We had chance to shut the door, didn't and they took advantage of it."
Karas said he feels his team is playing better the last few weeks.
"We're playing good ball," he said. "We're improving every day."
Pitcher hurt
Kratzer, the Red Raiders' star pitcher, had to leave the mound in the second inning when he felt pain in his right wrist and forearm. He moved to first base and Riley Poe came in to pitch.
Kratzer hopes to return for the start of the playoffs July 10.

Why kids need to play (not on a screen, not with fancy toys, not doing math, just let them be!)
Many of us have fond memories of playing outdoors as kids, of running around, creating worlds, and tearing them back down again.
Experts say many kids today don't have the same play opportunities — and it's hurting their development and health.
A Philadelphia conference this weekend is trying to bring back play. The group organizing the conference is called "Philadelphia Declaration of Play" and its message seems almost too simple: kids need to play. But organizers don't mean clicking away on a computer or structured, carefully supervised playgroups. And they certainly don't favor play that tries to sneak in learning how to spell or singing along to Beethoven.
"Play that is freely chosen, and personally directed," explained Bryn Mawr child psychologist Marjarie Bosk. "The child knows what they want to do and is allowed to explore and play, and not directed and taught and pressured."
Bosk is one of the founders of "Philadelphia Declaration of Play" and helped organize the conference. She says research shows that free play allows kids to learn. "Children who have a lot of child-initiated free play do better academically throughout their academic lives, they do better socially and emotionally."
Naomi Roberson is programs director at Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. She says when kids are playing, they learn important skills. "Little children like to pinch things, or play with tape, or with rice, so that's their fine motor skills," she explained. "They learn social norms, when playing with each other, learn how to problem solve, and how to communicate with each other."
Bosk and Roberson say their group is talking with parents, educators and city planners to emphasize the importance of play, and figure out how to create the space and time for it.

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' Premieres in LA (PHOTOS)
Finally, it's here: the Los Angeles premiere of Eclipse has finally arrived!
Even though we regular folks will have to wait until June 30th to see the movie it still is nice to see all of our favorite Twilight Saga stars rounded up and looking happy.
Kristen Stewart looked sassy in a one-sleeved white mini-dress while her rumored beau Robert Pattinson looked handsome in a red–blood red–suit. Meanwhile, Taylor Lautner kept things classy in a tailored black suit.
Amazingly, all three of them were able to walk down the red carpet without getting torn apart by the rabid Twihards who waited five days to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

Venkatesh's Shadow, which is directed by Meher Ramesh, is a romantic action entertainer. Made with a whopping budget, Venky's looks in the film have created a lot of curiosity among the film goers. Taapsee Pannu is playing the female lead alongside Venkatesh in the movie Shadow, which has the music of SS Thaman.
Earlier, the movie was slated to release during Sankrathi, but it was postponed to avoid its clash with Venkatesh's another release Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. Now, Meher Ramesh has confirmed its release date. On his Twitter page, the director tweeted, "Victory venkatesh "Shadow" releasing April 5th.wishes n blessings needed."
Junior NTR's most-awaited film Baadshah, which is directed by Srinu Vytla, is also releasing on the same date (April 5). Kajal Aggarwal is playing the female lead in the film, which also has the music of SS Thaman. Billed as an action-entertainer, the film is in the last leg of shooting, which has begun today. The film unit is going to shoot some important scenes on the lead pair in the final schedule
Interestingly, the audio albums of both Shadow and Baadshah are schedule to release in the market in March. Trade experts feel that the success or failure of their music will have a hand in deciding the fate of their movies. The photos and videos of both films have created a lot of expectations among the viewers.
However, Venkatesh's latest release Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu also opened with Ram Charan Teja's much-anticipated movie Naayak this Sankranthi festival and proved successful at the Box Office. Now, it should be seen whether his upcoming release Shadow will be able to beat Baadshah at the Box Office.

By Bob Pierce
As a self defense expert I get emails all the time asking me "what's the best self defense weapon?" This question can be very simple to answer, but I'm going to have to split people into groups to best answer this question.
For the vast majority of the population the best self defense weapon is pepper spray or mace. A lot of guys I know giggle a little bit at this because that's what they buy their sixteen year old daughters to keep them safe.
Think again! I knew a Delta Force operative who has since passed away in combat who swore by pepper spray and carried it with him almost everywhere. It was his self defense weapon of choice (when he wasn't in on a military mission of course).
Pepper spray is an extremely effective self defense weapon for several reasons:
1. Easy to use- especially when you may be in a surprise situation or your nerves are on edge.
2. You can spray first and ask questions later because it is non-lethal.
3. Easy to buy and very little training to use.
4. It gives you an unfair advantage over an assailant even if he has a weapon, because you have removed his most important sense 'sight.'
5. Certain units can be used from up to 20ft away (in never lets the bad guy get to close)
Some of these points could use a little clarification.
Pepper spray is easy to use because it does not require great accuracy.
You can buy the fogger or cone shaped spray for easy use. This means when your hands get shaky, a physiological side effect of the fight or flight response, you'll still be able to get this stuff in the attackers eyes and mouth.
Also the non-lethal nature of pepper spray and mace allows you to use it more freely. If you feel like a person is a serious threat pull it out and hose them down. You're not going to seriously hurt them and you don't have to wait for them to make a move.
Problem With Carrying a Gun for Self Defense
The problem with carrying a gun for personal safety is that you have to be much more reluctant to pull the trigger.
There are two main reasons for this:
1. You have to make darn sure this person is threatening your life (or you will be going to jail and will have to live with yourself knowing you killed an innocent person).
2. You have to ensure that no innocent bystanders will be hit by a stray bullet (remember stray bullets can go through walls and even kill someone in their house).
Don't get me wrong, I'm no anti-gun advocate. If you are licensed and trained in firearm use and safety, a gun can be a great self-defense tool. But, keep in mind all the risks and legal consequences that could come along with using your gun. I personally prefer to carry pepper spray for my self defense.
Wait! Before you run out and buy the first can of pepper spray or mace there is some stuff you need to know.
Most importantly, not all states allow you to carry pepper spray. You should seriously look into this. This article is meant to keep you safe, not get you into trouble. I am not a lawyer and cannot give you legal advice. It is your job to find out what is legal in your state and county.
Also, not all pepper sprays and maces are created equal. There are certain ratings to look for.
You should ensure that it has either a SHU (Scoville Heat Units) rating of at least 2,000,000, or a 'OC' percent (oleoresin capsicum percent) ranking.
Of the two the SHU rating is more important because a high OC can make the spray thick and difficult to use.
Finally make sure your unit has an expiration date on it. These sprays lose their effectiveness over time, and the last thing you want is to spray an assailant with faulty pepper spray.
To find out how to train yourself to be an expert at pepper spray use, or to find out more self defense information check out fightfast.com or my blog at fightfast.com/blog.
Stay Smart and Stay Safe,
Bob Pierce

What role, if any, does luck play in baseball? If it plays a role, in what ways and how does it effect outcomes?
On the one hand luck is nearly unmeasurable and certinally unable to be predicted in any fashion. On the other hand, we can all recoginize when a team's luck is "going their way" (geting all the calls, hits are falling, strikes are being called, etc) so there is some level of tangibility and value to it.
You can't build a mediocre team and expect luck to carry you to victory yet all good teams on paper hope for good luck to come their way and help them obtain the brass ring.
I'm guessing that views on "luck" will run the spectrum from irrlevant to essential.
Luck plays a role in every aspect of baseball from scouting, to player/trade availablity, to hitting, pitching, catching and running to schedule construction.
So I'm leaving the question very broad and open ended.

Rossamund Bookchild is finally becoming a lamplighter. Sworn into the Emperors
service, his duty is to light the lamps along the Emperor's highways, and protect all
travellers from the ferocious bogles that live in the wild. But he's found it no easier to
fit in with the lamplighters than he ever has - always too small and too meek, his
loneliness continues no matter how hard he tries to succeed. But when a haughty
young girl, a member of a suspiciously-regarded society of all women teratologists
is forced upon the lamplighters for training, Rossamund might no longer be the most
despised soul around.
"Suspenseful and entertaining, Lamplighter is a difficult book to forget, and I'll
eagerly be awaiting the next release in this series." - Chelsea
"D.M. Cornish has done a fantastic job of creating another world... The people in it
have their own language, complete with dialect and slang, their own beliefs and
taboo subjects, their own politics and factions --and so, I suspect, do the monsters."
-Leila @ Book Shelves of Doom
Lamplighter takes on the paradoxes of life: can people who are kind to us also be
evil? When is killing the right thing? Where do Truth and Justice and Good live in
lives otherwise characterized by Hobbes (and so many others) as nasty, brutish and
short? Why is nothing simple? What happens when humans are monstrous and
monsters, humane?"

Bemidji HS girls hockey team ties Brainerd/Little Falls
Karleigh Wolkerstorfer scored her second goal of the game 14:31 into the third period to help the Bemidji girls hockey team rally for a 4-4 overtime tie Saturday afternoon against Brainerd-Little Falls in Brainerd.
The Flying Warriors had battled back from a 3-1 deficit and took a 4-3 lead at 14:22 when Hailey Joyce scored. BHS, however, promptly answered as Amanda Hunt set up Wolkerstorfer for the tying tally.
Neither team could find the net during the final two minutes of regulation or the 8-minute overtime.
"After Brainerd took the lead I heard the girls on the bench say, 'Okay, here we go. Let's get it back.' And nine seconds later they did," said BHS coach Matt Menne. "On paper this team is supposed to be better than us but in the first period we put the screws to them.
"We didn't get the win but we got a tie and next time we play them we'll get to be at home," the coach continued.
The Lumberjacks dominated the first period, outshooting B-LF 17-6 and bolting to a 3-1 lead.
Wolkerstorfer opened the scoring at 2:15 and, after the home team drew even at 4:37, the Jacks erupted for two goals in the period's final 2:10.
Allie Lapp batted home a rebound at 14:50 and Karlee Tower found the net at 15:32. Chaniel Nelson and Hanna Olson assisted on Lapp's tally while Erin Booth set up Tower's goal.
B-LF collected the lone goal of the middle session and took the lead with goals 11:16 and 14:22 into the third period.
Bemidji, however, responded as Wolkerstorfer caught a puck in midair at the B-LF blue line, dropped it to her skates, beat two defenders and fired a shot past the goalie.
Laura Thompson stopped 21 shots in the BHS net, including a couple that saved the game.
"Laura had one or two great saves and took a couple of goals away from Brainerd," Menne said. "And offensively we got some hard-working goals."
Bemidji improved to 3-9-1 while Brainerd-Little Falls is 6-1-2. The Lumberjacks return to duty Tuesday at International Falls.
Bemidji 3 0 1 0 - 4
Brainerd-LF 1 1 2 0 - 4
First period: 1. B, Wolkerstorfer (Lapp) 2:15; 2. BLF, Sorenson (Hanowski, Desrocher) 4:37; 3. B, Lapp (Nelson, Olson) 14:50; 4. B, Tower (Booth) 15:32
Second period: 5. BLF, Wolhart (Anderson) 10:17
Third period: 6. BLF, Sorenson (unassisted) 11:16; 7. BLF, Joyce (Pahl, Wolhart) 14:22; 8. B, Wolkerstorfer (Hunt) 14:31
Overtime: No scoring
Saves: Thompson (B) 5-5-4-2-16; Howard (BLF) 14-4-6-3-27
Penalties: Bemidji 5 for 10 minutes; Brainerd-Little Falls 3 for 6 minutes

He left after the woman yelled at him, but police wonder if he is the same man who has been entering homes around town through unlocked doors and windows and touching and even kissing sleeping women. There have been at least five such reports in Tustin over the past couple months. The man in the photo is described as Latino, in his mid- to late 30s, with curly hair and a mustache, wearing a blue T-shirt and red shorts--which fits the description from the other incidents. Anyone with information is asked to call Tustin Police Department at (714) 573-3200 or Detective Mayfield at (714) 573-3246.

CARLTON'S six goals in nine minutes in the third quarter not only put Sydney to the sword yesterday, they were also the model of what Carlton looks like when it plays its very best football.
Coach Brett Ratten last night said he would use it to remind his team how well it can play, should it slump later in the season.
Front and Centre: Blues v Pies grand final?
Our footy experts review the weekend's AFL action while contemplating the possibility of a Carlton versus Collingwood grand final.
The Blues reinforced their position in the top four in beating the fifth-placed Swans - a team that has until this year had a strong record over Carlton - and put a gap between the two teams, also underlining the gulf between the top four and the rest of the teams.
Having kicked only one goal in more than 2½ quarters, Sydney booted six goals to Carlton's two in the last quarter to reduce the margin to a flattering 34 points. Ratten said the third quarter, when Carlton opened the game up after Sydney had closed it down in the second quarter, was his side's best football.
''I think we will just use it as a reference point to a pre-game or during the week to say 'this is when we are at our finest' in this area of the game and when we are not, and show the differential at times. Hopefully we don't have to and we can keep going with that third quarter but it is something that we can use if we need to,'' Ratten said.
The Carlton coach praised the return of his ruck-forward Matthew Kreuzer, who was outstanding in a best-on-ground performance in just his second game back from a knee reconstruction. He had 24 touches, 12 of which were contested, laid seven tackles and booted two goals.
He also presents as the crucial piece of the jigsaw for Carlton heading to September.
Kreuzer began up forward but had to ruck most of the second half after Shaun Hampson was forced off midway through the third quarter with what could be a posterior cruciate ligament injury. Scans today will clarify the injury and how much time out of the game there will be for the ruckman.
Teammate David Ellard was also having scans last night after being forced from the ground by a sling tackle from Shane Mumford that is likely to be scrutinised by the match review panel. Mumford also has a record for a dangerous tackle.
Defender Bryce Gibbs, who played mainly on Adam Goodes even when he went on the ball in the second half, said the team had been concentrating on not lapsing during this mid-season month of matches.
''Last year this was the period where we fell in a bit of a hole and lost a few games in a row so we were mindful of that and wanted to keep the consistency going.
''I think we were seven-and-three, so we have wanted to keep that momentum going,'' Gibbs said.
Carlton now faces games against West Coast, the resurgent Richmond and the Western Bulldogs before a return match against Collingwood.
''I think the group is playing a different brand of football [to last year] and we have seen that through our numbers and reducing the opposition in the way they are scoring is something we want to maintain and not let it slip,'' Ratten said.
He said he was pleased with the result and said the final quarter in which the Swans outscored Carlton by six goals to two was a product of fatigue and his team playing ''too cute'' and being punished.
Ratten said the injured Jarrad Waite had run last week and will resume in the next week or two.

Court sends individual phase litigation plans back to the drawing boardWritten by Neil Etienne Friday, 20 November 2015
Both sides in a class action case involving VIA Rail have been sent back to the drawing board with a litigation strategy template from the Ontario Superior Court.
|Jay Strosberg admits there isn't much case law guidance on the individual issues phase of class actions.
Calling the matter "a test centre for undeveloped but very important aspects of class action procedure" under the Class Proceedings Act, Justice Paul Perell ruled on an individual issues motion Nov. 16 in Lundy v. VIA Rail.
He gave both parties 30 days to consider and adapt his litigation strategy and if an agreement cannot be made in that time, he ordered a case conference where he will settle the plans.
"One might think that the matter of designing the individual issues phase of a class action is no big deal and that designing the individual issues phase pales in significance to the matters of certification, the common issues trial, and the settlement approval stages of a class action," Perell wrote.
"However, one would be wrong in undervaluing the importance of the litigation plan for the final stage of a class action. The design of the individual issues phase has a substantial impact on achieving the goals of the class action regime of access to justice, behaviour modification, and judicial economy."
In the issue before him, the parties could not agree about the litigation plan for the individual issues phase of the action and both presented strategies to the court. The 45 class members were all passengers on a VIA Rail train in early 2012 when it derailed near Burlington, Ont.
In mid-2014, VIA served offers to settle to each individual class member, ranging from $8,000 to $40,000 and the promise VIA would pay members' legal fees and disbursements in an amount equal to 15 per cent of the settlement amount paid to the class member.
At that time, Perell ordered the parties to prepare individual issues litigation plans, an assessment of costs to date, and judgment on common issues of the certification order. He ruled that once the litigation plans were settled, VIA could then deliver the individual offers to settle. But the sides could not agree on those plans and Perell ordered they try one more time.
Jay Strosberg, partner at Sutts Strosberg LLP, says the individual issues stage of a class action is not common as cases generally settle beforehand. He says when that procedure isn't agreed upon, there isn't much guidance on how individual issues should be resolved.
"In one sense it is reassuring that there isn't a lot of case law on this point, because it means that counsel have generally been able to come up with a plan they both agree with. In another sense, it would be helpful if there were more input from the judiciary about what types of procedures they feel are manageable for handling individual damages claims," he says.
Strosberg says procedure should allow for class members to submit their claims without huge hurdles, while allowing the defence to also lead evidence and make its case.
"It is a tricky balancing act and one that requires a good deal of practical foresight," says Strosberg.
"Perell took this opportunity to propose a plan of his own in which he underscored the importance of access to justice and judicial economy, which really should be the focus when coming up with a plan."
Margaret Waddell, of Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein LLP, says the rules under the CPA are purposefully broad to ensure an efficient process."
"If the parties can't reach an agreement, then the court has tremendous discretion and latitude in creating a bespoke process for each case. Once a case reaches this stage of the proceeding, the efficiencies of the CPA really come home to roost," she says.
"The parties can agree on their own efficient process, or if they can't agree, then the court has the power to craft a procedure that works for the litigants in a way that best meets the objectives of access to justice, efficiency and proportionality for all the remaining parties."
Update Nov. 24: Quote from Margaret Waddell corrected.

Only Philly natives Ubiq could handle Veterans Stadium's legendary 700 Level with such loving nostalgia. They crafted a loving tribute to the most notorious deck of fans in the history of pro sports and are wrapping it up with a design that's only for their closest friends and family. The Ubiq x Puma Clyde pictured above in black mesh is said to represent for the referees who were somehow supposed to stay impartial despite potential downpours of coarse language and maybe a battery or two. Take a look at the kicks and a video of DJ Green Lantern energizing the crowd at the 700 Level Pack release party. via HS

The collar is very impressive. I am amazed how fast this collar has changed my dog's behavior. This collar has allowed me to become friends with the people that live next door. I love my dog but the excessive barking was to much. I found FlexPetz online and spoke with a tech in regards to a collar that will stop my dog from disturbing the people next door. I can now make phone calls and actually hear what the other person is saying. I would recommend this dog bark collar to all my friends and family.

This collar has made my life easier. I have a small dog that is a load of fun and full of energy. The only set back of my fuzzy friend is she barks to much. I decided to do something about it. I surfed the web and found FlexPetz. After speaking with customer support I was recommended this PetSafe bark control collar. I gave it a chance and put this device on my dog. What a great surprise this was. The barking gradually came to a stop. My dog was a barking dog and now is quiet dog. Thank you so much FlexPetz for a solution to the problem. I don't know what I would do without it. This collar is fantastic.

My dog's neck measures 12 inches. Will your collar adjust to that size?

The PetSafe Bark Control Collar is nylon and adjustable from 6-27". It will fit your dog's neck with no problem.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Both dogs are under 20 lbs. Will the Petsafe Bark Control collar fit them?
Hi Toni, this collar will definitely work for you, but the collars may be a little bit bulky, I might suggest the petsfe elite little dog bark collar its a little bit more expensive so might be a little more streamlined on your dogs necks.
Will other dogs barking set off the collar?
No, other dogs' barking will not set off your dog's bark collar correction.

Herpes - How do you know if you have herpes?
The very suspicion of herpes is enough to throw one in dread since there is no definite cure for this very uncomfortable and often painful condition. But how does one know that he or she has contracted herpes, since the symptoms of this condition are different for men and women and even within the same sex, it may vary from one person to another.
TIP: Get yourself tested for Herpes. Click here to choose from 4500 centers in the US where you can get an FDA approved test with guaranteed confidentiality.
The two types of herpes
First, it is important to keep in mind that not every condition diagnosed as herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. There are two strains of herpes, the Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Herpes Simplex Type 2. Herpes Simplex Type 1 is responsible for oral herpes which is more commonly known as cold sores. A person suffering from this condition will develop blisters on or around the mouth. Herpes Simplex Type 2 causes genital herpes which is sexually transmitted from the infected person. Once a person is exposed to this virus by direct skin-to-skin contact, it may take from 2 to 20 twenty days to develop the first symptoms of genital herpes. If you are concerned that you may have contracted herpes, here are the main symptoms to watch out for.
Herpes symptoms
The most common sign of herpes is red, sensitive skin with small bumps on the infected area of the skin. They may become inflamed and develop into blisters or sores. As the blisters burst, they will exude pus or a clear fluid. The blisters will then form scabs as they proceed to heal. If it is oral herpes, the blisters develop in and around the mouth. In case of genital herpes, the blisters also known as herpes bumps develop around the genital region. In women, the lesions may occur inside the vagina along with areas around it, like the vulva, cervix, urethra, anus, thighs and buttocks.
Yet another symptom to watch out for among women is unusual vaginal discharge or persistent vaginal discomfort. If a woman suffers from this, it is a good idea to get tested for genital herpes.
A woman suffering from genital herpes may also experience difficulty while urinating. This is because if the herpes blisters have developed along the urethra, they may burn or pain while passing urine. In fact around 10 to 15 percent of women infected with herpes complain of having trouble while passing urine.
Swollen lymph glands. In case of oral herpes the lymph nodes around the neck get swollen while in genital herpes the lymph glands in the groin are enlarged. This is because with the onslaught of the infection, the lymph glands in the body go on an overdrive to produce cells which will fight the infection-causing organisms.
Headaches which may be severe.
Pain in the muscles.
Lower back pain in case of genital herpes.
Fever is yet another common symptom of any virulent infection and occurs with the contraction of herpes too, especially in the initial stages.
Among the people who develop herpes sores on the first contraction of herpes, as many as 80 percent go on to experience a recurrent outbreak of the condition. Even though the later outbreaks may of shorter duration and less severe than the first outbreak, for some people they can be as uncomfortable as the initial one. Very often individuals may experience certain warning symptoms prior to the recurrent outbreak. A person may experience pain and soreness in the infected region even before the sores develop in that area. This is due to irritation and inflammation of the nerves connecting the infected areas of the skin. During this period, the infect person is highly contagious even though he/she may not develop visible blisters.
Herpes in women
Women are at greater danger of contracting genital herpes since their genital region has a greater surface area with mucosal cells – which contract the infection – as compared to men. On an average, the first outbreak of herpes among women may last as long as three weeks. In women, the symptoms genital herpes are very often confused with signs of some other infection like a yeast infection, pelvic inflammatory disease or an inflamed cervix known as cervicitis. Since the blisters develop inside the vagina, it is quite common for the herpes blisters to be mistaken for an outbreak of boils. But boils are larger and often more painful as compared to the herpes lesions. Moreover there are several treatments available for boils while it is more difficult to treat genital herpes. Women are also prone to greater complications arising out of a herpes infection. For instance one out of four women may go on to develop meningitis after an episode of herpes.
Herpes in men
On an average men experience a shorter duration of herpes, the first outbreak lasting around two weeks. Men usually develop the herpes blisters on the tip of the penis or perhaps the shaft but rarely on the base. Men who have same-sex partners may also get the outbreak in or around the anus. With the onset of the infection, men may experience discharge from the penis and a painful burning sensation while passing urine.
Symptoms of herpes vary widely from one individual to the next. The first outbreak can be the most severe for some since the body is yet to develop antibodies for the condition. On the other hand, for some the first occurrence of herpes can be very mild with hardly any symptoms. However in the both cases the person remains highly contagious and a danger to other sexual partners.
In case you have the above symptoms it is crucial that you seek medical help as soon as possible. A professional guidance is especially important if you are pregnant, if you are getting recurrent outbreaks or if such symptoms have been previously experienced but not correctly diagnosed. Even though there is no cure for herpes, the sooner you treatment under the guidance of a medical professional, the easier it will be for you to manage the symptoms and even prevent further outbreaks.

Most young people under juvenile justice supervision are supervised in the community, not in detention, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The report, Juvenile justice in Australia 2009-10, shows that of the 7,250 young people under supervision on an average day in 2009–10, 86% of young people in the juvenile justice system are under supervision in the community, with the remainder held in detention.
Community-based supervision was more common than detention in all states and territories, but the comparative use of the two types of supervision differed markedly.
'This reflects the different legislation, policies and practices in each of the states and territories,' said AIHW spokesperson Tim Beard.
Just 0.3% of young Australians (5,870 young people aged 10–17 years) were under supervision on any given day in 2009–10.
Most of those under supervision were young men: on an average day, 83% of those under community based supervision and 92% of those in detention were male.
Although Indigenous Australians only make up 5% of young people, over one-third (38%) of those under supervision were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
'Indigenous young people were particularly over-represented in detention,' Mr Beard said. 'Almost half (49%) of those in detention on an average day were Indigenous.'
One reason for this over-representation is that Indigenous young people spend more time under supervision.
'Indigenous young people spent 4 more days under community-based supervision during the year than their non-Indigenous counterparts, and they spent 2.5 more weeks in detention,' Mr Beard said.
Indigenous young people were also more likely to have a supervision history involving detention. While almost half of non-Indigenous young men (46%) and young women (49%) under supervision during 2009–10 had never been detained, this was true for only 32% of Indigenous young men and 42% of Indigenous young women.
A companion summary report, Juvenile justice in Australia 2009-10: an overview, is also available.

Capeta Episode 27 - Blue flag!
Kappeita Taira, otherwise known as "Capeta", is a ten-year-old boy whose single-parent father, Shigei Taira , works for a paving company. While completing a paving job at a go-kart track, his father sees a young boy racing at the track and is amazed at the speed and seeming thrill of the sport. Realizing that his young son has an interest in racing cars. Shigei asks the circuit steward as to whether he is able to take some old worn-down parts out of the circuit's trash pile. Taking these back to his workplace, he manages to construct a rundown yet drivable kart. Shigei's boss, Mr. Ikari, supplies a 4-stroke generator engine to power the kart.

Chicago Survived NATO Even if Iraq and Afghanistan Did Not
The NATO Summit has come and gone in Chicago and with it went any serious opportunity for public dialogue about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Based on my own survey of mainstream media reports, here were the headlines:
- The Chicago Police Department's massive display of force did a great job protecting the "imperiled" city from the 5,000 to 10,000 mostly peaceful demonstrators who tried to provide a counter voice during the three day event. And the police effectively sealed off high end Chicago north of the river to ensure that NATO dignitaries could dine and shop on the Magnificent Mile without having to encounter awkward questions about the last decade of bloodshed.
- Huge traffic and public transportation snarls didn't happen, largely because advance reports of endless delays and security checks scared most commuters into staying at home.
- The economic boost to the city remains a yet to be fulfilled promise. Most merchants in the city reported significant losses because few people ventured downtown for three days.
- A few irresponsible, self-acclaimed anarchists got most of the attention by provoking modest skirmishes with the police that delighted the bored TV reporters.
- Chicago successfully hosted an international non-event that was hermetically sealed in McCormick Place where even the 2,000 accredited reporters had to watch the proceedings on video streaming.
- It's not quite clear who's paying for Mayor Emanuel's and President Obama's grand Chicago party. Most of us assume that, one way or another, we are.
- The White Sox swept the hapless Cubs beginning a week long losing streak for the north-siders.
President Obama dismissed the protests as less disruptive than the annual "Taste of Chicago" food festival, a disappointing and demeaning backhand to those not persuaded of the virtue or value of these U.S. wars attempting to gain international legitimacy by sewing NATO emblems on the mostly American uniforms.
Of course, Obama is probably right. There were only 5,000 to 10,000 protesters. The anti-war message was often unfocused and unclear, mixed in with Occupy's rage at Wall Street. The fact is, most Americans are just plain tired of the wars and resigned to the fact that they will reach their depressing end with little regard for what most people think about them. There is little rage after ten years, and limited passion. Only a tiny minority of the population has any direct contact with those who have been deployed, let alone died or been injured. Sadly the churches rendered themselves virtually invisible over the weekend, with only a few notable exceptions. I bumped into a number of church folk, pastors, and seminarians on Sunday during the march. But no one had bothered to organize a public, religious voice, and no bishop, Cardinal, district superintendent, executive presybter, or conference minister joined the march (or were visible if they did) or, as far as I know encouraged members to do so. Sad. Perhaps even scandalous. And students? A University of Chicago graduate student I know in the Public Policy School didn't even know a protest march had occurred.
The most moving statement of the protest was made by veterans who spoke of their own lament at having participated in these wars. They wept for the dead, the injured, the damaged – American, Afghan, Iraqi. They returned their medals, tossing them toward the heavily guarded convention center. Needless to say, no NATO representative was there to receive them. Some confessed and asked forgiveness for the harm they believe they have caused. Their witness stirred many, though apparently not the media which was far more excited by a few undisciplined protesters who provoked a brief melee shortly after, garnering all the TV coverage and hoarding front page newspaper columns across the country the next day. We want spectacle, I guess, not serious and sober reflection on the horror that these wars have unleashed.
A week later we observed Memorial Day. The New York Times front page photograph of a beautiful field of poppies evoked for some the haunting World War I poem Flanders Field where the flowers grow "beneath the crosses, row on row." Unfortunately, these poppies were in Helmand Province and the story described the failing efforts to stem the heroin trade that fuels corruption in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, at West Point members of the faculty debate the wars. Colonel Gian Gentile, director of the military history program and a combat battalion commander in Baghdad in 2006, was asked what ten years of war have accomplished. "Not much," he replied. "Certainly not worth the effort. In my view." One of his colleagues, Colonel Michael Meese, countered, "Counterinsurgency was broadly successful in being able to have the Iraqis govern themselves." Of course, Iraq did govern itself before the Americans and their NATO allies arrived, and the jury is still out as to whether the new crop of Iraqi leaders are, in fact, much better than the last.
We get the leadership we deserve. As the NATO protests demonstrated last week, not to mention Chicagoans' reaction to the Summit, our leaders have had a green light for whatever blood and money they want to spend in our foreign adventures. Meanwhile, plans are underway for the "Taste of Chicago" and one week after the Summit ended the Cubs finally broke their twelve game losing streak. It's encouraging, I suppose, to know that some bad things do, in fact, come to an end.

The European Commission (EC) has sent a formal complaint to the Spanish government regarding two framework agreements that open the door for Eurocopter to supply helicopters to the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The Commission objects on the grounds that no tender was advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union and both agreements allow for the extension of their duration, putting other bidders at a disadvantage. If it does not receive a satisfactory reply by August 5, the Commission can refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.


text: With that in mind, here's a look at several stocks that could experience big short squeezes when they report earnings this week. >>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar Fusion-io My first earnings short-squeeze trade idea is data storage devices player Fusion-io ( FIO), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Fusion-io to report revenue of $80.48 million on a loss of 7 cents per share. Earlier today, Piper Jafffray said its first-quarter channel checks for Fusion-io indicated a modest improvement in enterprise demand with easing competitive pressures on the company. The firm, however, keeps a neutral rating on the stock into the first quarter earnings call. Fusion-io has beat analyst estimates in each of the past four quarters. >>4 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Fusion-io is extremely high at 44.7%. That means that out of the 86.11 million shares in the tradable float, 28.8 million shares are sold short by the bears. If Fusion-io can deliver the earnings news the bulls are looking for, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze for this stock post-earnings. From a technical perspective, FIO is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and well below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has recently started to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $15.37 to $15.59 a share and above its 50-day moving average of $16.14 a share. That move is quickly pushing shares of FIO within range of triggering a major breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on FIO, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some more near-term overhead resistance levels at $17 to $17.80 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 2.66 million shares. If that breakout triggers, then FIO will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from January that started above $20 a share. This stock could easily hit $22 to $24 if that gap gets filled with strong volume.

Charlotte Grau files the lawsuit against the TV network, claiming that she routinely received mistreatment from NBCU employees.
NBC Universal's owner and several executives have been hit with a lawsuit, filed by a former post-production employee on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". Expert colorist Charlotte Grau filed the suit against the TV network in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, March 15, claiming that she received physical and mental abuse from her male colleagues.
In the lawsuit filed by L.A. attorney Lisa Maki, Grau was said to have been routinely mistreated by NBCU employees, paid less in overtime than male colleagues, told that her work was inferior and physically assaulted by a male superior. She demanded at least $5 million in damages on claims of sex discrimination, battery, assault, defamation and gender violence.
"[NBC] Universal was intentionally failing to prevent or remedy the sexual harassment of female employees by male employees," the lawsuit stated. Grau, who "was routinely treated differently and less favorably than her male counterparts at Universal," already complained several times, but they were all ignored.
Grau alleged that her superior, executive producer Forney, did a physical abuse by hitting her forcefully in the back after giving her a hug. In 2011, Grau was removed from the production team without explanation after taking three-month leave for breast cancer treatment. As stated in the suit, she overheard two Universal employees complaining that she "never finishes her work, and when she does it takes her longer than 'the boys'."
When reassigned to NBC's "Grimm", she claimed that the production staff made it difficult to do her job by blaming her for technical difficulties. In May 2012, she was fired because there was no work for her. "In reality, Universal terminated [Grau] in retaliation for [her] reports of verbal abuse, harassment, disparate treatment, and the exercise of [her] protected rights, including the right to take medical leave for her own serious health condition, among other things," the complaint said.
The suit alleged a whopping 18 causes of action. NBC Universal declined to comment on this issue.

Walshe said: "We enjoyed a good Six Nations and on the back of that, competition for places has been high and some good players have missed out. However, we're very pleased with the 28 selected. The games come thick and fast in this tournament, we've got a very tough group but we're excited by that challenge."
"After France, Six Nations winners England face title-holders South Africa before coming up against USA, who are competing in the JWC for the first time in five years.
"All our attention is on that first game against the French, we did well against them in the Six Nations but this will be a totally different game. It's one we're looking forward to."

She confessed in an interview with the November issue of Marie Claire magazine she once had Botox upon doctor's suggestion but hated it.
Coming clean about her beauty secret, Courteney Cox has no hesitation to talk candidly that she once had Botox and hated it. She made the confession during an interview with Marie Claire magazine for its November issue.
"Botox? I think it's fantastic and also horrible," she openly expressed her opinion about the procedure that is very popular among nowadays Hollywood celebrities. "I mean, they've come up with this stuff that can make you not look angry. But you have to use it sparingly."
Telling the magazine about her own experience using the product upon a doctor's advice, Courteney recalled, "I went to this doctor once and he was like, 'Oh, let me do it just here and here and here.' And I was miserable." She continued saying, "I mean, I'm an actor, I've got to be able to move my face. When people start messing with their foreheads and can't life their eyebrows, that's weird. It's not that I haven't tried Botox - but I hated it."
Learning her lesson of using Botox, Courteney claimed that she's "under pressure to not do anything" when referring to cosmetics procedure that people in common would have in order to maintain their younger look. She furthermore also stressed plastic surgery isn't "really important" to her husband of nine years, David Arquette, because "He loves the aging process. He thinks it's beautiful."
And when it comes to their marriage, Courteney openly admitted, "It's weird, because I'm so in love with David right now. I'm starting to really appreciate how 'there' he is for me. But in any relationship, there are times that you're disconnected. You can see how relationships end if you don't work through it."
The November issue of Marie Claire, with Courteney on its cover, hits the newsstands October 14.

So Columbus's play-by-play guy throws some shit against the wall and everyone jumps?
Jeff Rimer is being taken seriously by a lot of people and I'm not entirely sure why. Sure he has a weekly radio segment brandishing his namesake; "Rimer's Rumours". But can anyone name an original rumour he's birthed that's come to fruitiion?
As far as I can tell he's just a guy who takes other people's reporting and passes it off as his own, kinda like Eric Francis in his appearances on the Hot Stove. Maybe he'd seen Garrioch's previous reporting on this subject in a google search?
In any case after broadcasting Ottawa's supposed interest in Nash Sunday, by Monday morning this info had appeared in a Michael Russo column couched as being "reportedly true".
A few hours later Darren Dreger was on the case adding this:
"The Ottawa Senators are a strict budget team, but they do have young assets to move, so if Sens owner Eugene Melnyk can be convinced to take on the money, it's possible they could take a run at Rick Nash.
It's a longshot, but not out of the question."
I'll just say I'd be much more inclinced to trust this had it come from Dreger in the first place, instead of the other way around.
Everybody Hates Rick
Canucks Army aren't fans – Rick Nash And The Vancouver Canucks: Not A Good Fit

Days Of Yorr thinks he's overrated- Why Trading For Rick Nash Would Be A Terrible Idea
And we can now add the Citizen's James Gordon to the list…
Rick Nash is 28 years old and last scored 40 goals three years ago. He also has a cap hit of $7.8 million until 2018 (!). Not only that, in real dollars his take goes up as he gets older (he'll be due $8.2 million during the 2017-2018 season, when he's in his mid-30s.
Glad to see at least one person working in the Ottawa media recognizes this is bad contract to absorb nevermind the absurd price you'd have to pay.
Bob Mackenzie's Top 60
Bob Mackenzie's Top 60So the NHL Insider released his Top 60 Draft Prospects list last night. The interesting thing about this ranking as opposed to a service like ISS is that Bob compiles his list through a consensus of scouts working in the NHL. Which usually means it hews closer to what actually occurs come draft day. Sens fans will be happy to see he has Ceci going #14 and Lindholm at #15. TSN has put the broadcast up for viewing here.
Shero Shopping D-men?
Pittsburgh has a fair amount of money committed to their backend at present. So it's not all that suprising that in between working on extensions for Staal and Crosby the Penguins GM may also be trying to move out a pricey veteran defenseman(s):
Shero confirms that he expects to trade a defenseman or two before next season, declines to say if he's asked any to waive no-trade clause.
— Dave Molinari (@MolinariPG) June 19, 2012
2009 first-round pick Simon Depres is close to making the jump, as is Robert Bortuzzo. The very talented Joe Morrow can't be far off either. Have to imagine Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek are the two names alluded to in this tweet, and I'd suspect Shero would be looking to move Martin first.
But if Milan's brother is up for grabs I'd be surprised if Bryan didn't make a call. It's come out since that in the summer of 2010 Zbynek was interested in coming to Ottawa, but Gonchar was the Senators top UFA target. They'd probably like a mulligan on that, and they may just get one.
From Elliotte's 30 Thoughts in October 2010
22. Milan Michalek said brother Zbynek really wanted to join him in Ottawa, but the Senators targeted Sergei Gonchar instead. GM Bryan Murray said his four main interests were Gonchar, Michalek, Anton Volchenkov and Paul Martin. He called Gonchar first and was asked to make an immediate choice.

USA Under Siege: Congress and Obama Vote in Secret to End Bill of Rights and other Atrocities
Sher Zieve
Monday, March 26, 2012
America, we have an enormous problem. And, it's a quickly expanding one. Fueled by the palpable fear of We-the-People that is now observably apparent from arrogant elected members of both the Executive and Legislative branches of the US government, Orwellian bills denying the American people their Constitutionally protected rights are now being routinely crafted and passed by an increasingly draconian "ruling—not governing—political class."
For the first time in the history of the United States of America, its people are being reigned over and reined in by thoroughly totalitarian and an almost completely corrupt set of individuals…individuals whom we elected.
The USA has been heading for Leftist rule for many decades. The markedly minority Marxists and Maoists have been incessantly and, for years, feverishly working to take over our country and install a Stalinist/Hitlerian-styled government. In fact, in 2010 at least 70 members (we suspect there are probably more) of the US Democrat Party were listed as members of the American Socialist Party. But, this is the first time they have claimed the unconditional power to do so.
In the past, we were able to keep these subversive and patently destructive elements at bay. The way in which we were able to effect our continued survival as a free country was via the Republican Party. Tragically, those days appear to be gone. The "Republican Establishment" (aka "Rockefeller Republicans," Global Elitists or New World Order followers) is now firmly in control of the GOP and it has no intention of releasing its iron grip.
The Rest…HERE

Hog hunting
We are having problems knocking down pigs that we have shot with are AR 15. We have been shooting Remington 55 gr. hollow points what ammo would you recommend for more knock down power
I wouldn't use a hollow point. I would use either jacketed flat point or full metal jacket ammo. You need penetration to kill an animal as large and tough as a wild hog and hollow points don't really do that.
Shot placement could be an issue too. Be sure your aiming for the heart/lungs area (right behind the front shoulder) of the hog.
Might want to get a larger caliber weapon than .223. I don't use anything smaller than a .270 when hunting anything larger than a varmint. That's just me though. I try to be as humane as possible, and the larger calibers do a better job of dropping the animal as quickly as possible.
Bigger caliber. A 62gr partition may help, but it is not that much better.
We were thinking of using an AR 10 which fires a .308 round but was told if you put optics on it, they would be thrown off by the recoil of multiple quick shots
Heavier, stronger bullet. Hollow point is a very bad idea on a hog or deer or other like sized 4 or 2 legged game.
My preference is the Winchester 64 gr Power Point. Accurate, reliable, controlled expansion.
The new Speer Gold Dot 63 or 64 gr bullet seems to be a very strong performer. That is our new duty ammo for the AR's.
Shoot them behind the ear! :D

My M.C.Ham-AR-45. I call it Magnum P*I*G
we use everything from 30-30 to a 12 gauge slug or 00 buck. Sometimes I break out the Mosin or the 7mm rem mag, I'm inclined to agree with canebrake the 458 socom would do a hell of a job on a hog. The 5.56 or 223 has never been known for knock down power, it's accurate and travels farther then the 7.62X39 which travels shorter then the 223 but has a lot better knock power.

TWENTY-FIVE of Swindon's brightest sixth-form students got to grips with the pressures and pleasures of journalism on a two-day residential course near Cambridge.
This was the latest event in a four-year rolling Scholars Programme aimed at helping young people from less advantaged backgrounds in the town to improve their skills.
The workshop at Villiers Park Educational Trust, led by freelance journalist and teacher Jerome Monahan, explored everything from interviewing to constructing a news story while also examining some of the current issues affecting the industry, including the impact of social media and the Leveson report.
One highlight was a Skype conversation with an Adver reporter. It was a dramatic exchange as the reporter was just tackling a big breaking news story.
Jerome said: "It was an opportunity to get a sense of the pressures journalists can be under and how unpredictable their days can be."
Students learned how much things have changed in terms of the sources of stories with the emergence of so much 'reader-generated' words and images.
They also learned about out the best routes into the profession.
New College student Keegan Lane, 16, said: "The course has been great fun, and has definitely changed my attitude to journalism. It was something I had previously dismissed."
St Joseph's Catholic College sixth-former Ellie Lovejoy, 16, said: "The course has definitely sparked an interest in journalism. I did not know much about it as a possible career path."
According to Villiers Park chief executive Richard Gould, only a third of ten year olds that gain top five per cent SATs results go on to fulfil their academic or vocational potential.
He said: "The Villiers Park Programme, which combines a mix of mentoring and extra-curricular courses, is designed to ensure young people of their ability stay focused and don't sell themselves short when it comes to higher education.
"Last year we saw the completion of the first four-year cycle for students we first met at the start of Year 10 and who are now at university.
"More than three-quarters, 78 per cent, have gone off to university."

how soon after liposuction can i go to the beach??? also ill be traveling on a 9 hr fligh with 1 stop tho....
Liposuction and the Beach
Doctor Answers 4
I have had patients go to the beach in Hawaii in 5 days after lipo but they really must cover up with both sunscreen and clothes. In addition you do not really look so hot for the first 2 weeks or so often after surgery. Then it depends on what is liposuctioned, how much, how many area. Forget going to the beach and looking good for the first 2 weeks. You will look okay, but lipo recovery takes time and is variable from person to person. If you have stomach lipo and go to the beach in 9 days wear a 2 piece bathing suit. Really if you want to go and fully enjoy the beach, go on vacation and get lipo later. This 9 day plan is not advisewd unless you have no alternative. If no alternative, cover up, wear sunscreen, and forget about enjoying your lipo at 9 days. I think you can see where I stand on this. Good Luck.
Going to the beach following liposuction: recommendations
You may go to the beach several days after liposuction. However, you will be bruised, swollen, somewhat numb and possibly tender. I do not recommend sitting out in the hot sun (especially exposed) for at least 3 weeks as your skin will be numb and you can sustain a burn. My recommendation is also to avoid vigorous activities including swimming until around 3 weeks after your surgery.
You should follow the recommendations of the plastic surgeon that will be performing your procedure.

Liposuction and the beach
You can probably go out and sit out within a few days although you probably will still be bruised. As for going in the water, I would wait three weeks until the incisions are really sealed.

Liposuction Recovery
Depending on the areas of treatment and the type of liposuction, most of my patients are able to return to work after about 5 days. I require my patients to wear a compression garment 24 hours a day for 4 weeks, the 5th week only at night. I also advise my patients that they should expect bruising and post surgical swelling. The swelling subsides over time however it may take months to see your final result. I also restrict flying for 4 weeks due to the risk of blood clots. In my practice I ask patients to never plan to do any type of surgical procedure within 6 weeks of any major event. Best wishes!
