(Pontiac, IL USA)
Chilling on my pillow
I just lost my 13 yr old Beagle-Basset mix, Buddy Lee on March 1, 2014. I kind of knew it was coming but I wasn't nearly as ready as I thought.
Buddy was 8 weeks old when my ex-husband and I got him and he's been the best dog I've ever had. That boy was smart, funny and sneaky too! He was on three different meds to help him deal with heart issues for the last four years we were together. He'd had a tumor removed from his belly and a tumor on his toe we left alone since it didn't seem to bother him.
The weeks before his passing he was playing, barking and being his old self. He couldn't play for a long time, but he did what he could. A few days before he left for Rainbow Bridge he just stopped eating. We made chicken and rice and that worked for 2 days. Then last Saturday he wouldn't eat at all. No barking or playing and no crying or whining either. He was just quiet.
That night it was like he knew it was time because he would come up to me and just look at me with those big brown eyes. Like he was saying, "It's OK mom, I'm ready." I should have stayed with him that night but I thought he would make it another night. I was wrong and at 3 am he was gone.
After my divorce I took buddy with me and for 10 years it was just us till I re-married last November. I love him and miss him so much. I knew I would - but this is more than I thought was possible. I know he's in a better place where he can run and play and have all his teeth back to eat those yummy bones.
I had him cremated so he can be with me at all times till we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for other inspirational loving pet stories to help lift my spirits. I know it will get better... Just hope that day hurries.

What's the alternative?
With university fees set to rise, many people are considering all their options before signing up to start a full-time degree that may leave them with big graduate debts. S&YP takes a look at some of the choices out there.
Whether you want go to university or not, it is always sensible to look at all the options and take advice from as many places as you can. Our economy needs a highly educated and skilled workforce and if you know what you want to do, you can make a career start by getting a suitable job, earning some money and gaining valuable experience.
Sponsored training
If you fear the debts that can come with a full-time university education then there's another route that many people are now pursuing. Consider joining a company with a significant in-house training programme, or one that is willing to sponsor employees to take a degree course. They can be hard to find in the current economic climate but they are out there and can lead to a degree, plus bonus experience, without the high cost.
They can also look good on the CV when you begin to take your first steps up the career ladder.
"From an employer's viewpoint it is generally acknowledged that working at a job while doing your degree requires sacrifice and 'stickability' – and these are attributes that employers look for," highlights Trevor James, director of Employment Skills at Amersham and Wycombe College.
Melbourn Scientific is one such company that offers on-the-job training, often with day release to local universities.
"This training can offer practical and analytical skills, and may give trainees access to state-of-the-art equipment which they wouldn't have the chance to use in a university environment," says the company's ceo Mark Hammond. "Internal training programs offered to staff can promote professional development and provide technical training.
"Upon finishing their training, an employee who has completed a day release degree not only has an academic qualification, but also relevant experience. This overcomes the problem faced by so many graduates that all jobs require experience, but they have no way of gaining it."
Apprenticeships and internships
Increasingly, employers are looking at apprenticeships and internships as ways of recruiting their talent.
"They can work with a young person for a longer period and ensure their selection is right - and you can earn while you learn and can confirm, or otherwise, your career choice," says James. "You might want to start by visiting your local college to see what they have to offer. There will be a variety of vocational and academic course to choose from, you will save money by staying in your home area and they will talk to you about apprenticeships – where average earnings are around £170 per week."
Apprenticeships can offer a range of benefits and they can even provide you with an advantage over a graduate when it comes to job applications - and that's if you don't get offered a full-time position at the end of the apprenticeship, which many people do.
"Engineering involves practical and intellectual skills, but often graduates lack many of the skills that are essential for a thorough understanding of the subject. The practical skills that degrees provide don't match those developed through a hands-on apprenticeship. Also, apprenticeships can offer skills that go beyond technology. Knowledge of all aspects of the business, for example, is useful to manage effectively staff on the shop floor," says Charles Maltby, technical and commercial director, Shearline Precision Engineering.
"Apprentices acquire technical and communication skills, and often gain valuable team working experience. These skills will boost the apprentice's CV and be applicable to future roles," Maltby adds.
The financial rewards
It is a fact that the better level of education you have the more you are likely to earn in your working life, but it doesn't make every graduate richer than a non-graduate.
"Many people who combine work with further education and training in the three years their contemporaries are at university find that they are further 'up the ladder' than they would have been by going to university - and have earned money, rather than building debt, during that time," James concludes.

An Italian actress who accused Harvey Weinstein of rape has left the country after being taken aback by the hostile reaction to her revelation.
Asia Argento alleged the Holywood mogul assaulted her in a hotel room in 1997 earlier this month as she spoke out in a New Yorker magazine expose.
The intervention was praised by women's rights campaigners and fellow actresses around the world, helping trigger the slew of allegations that have since come to light, reports The Telegraph.
However in Italy there have been critical voices in the press and politics who have belittled her account, which included a number of consensual encounters with Mr Weinstein.
Vittorio Sgarbi, a politician and friend of Ms Argento's former partner, said: "I have the feeling that he was actually assaulted by her."
Journalist Mario Adinolfi tweeted the actress was attempting to "justify high-society prostitution", while others have questioned why she did not speak out earlier.
Ms Argento has now said she will move from Italy to Germany and criticised the "climate of tension" and "victim blaming" in her home country.
"Italy is far behind the rest of the world in its view of women," she said in a recent interview.
"I don't see what I can do there - I'll come back when things improve to fight alongside all the other women," Ms Argento added.
"I didn't have to courage to speak until now because you see what happened, 20 years after the attack?" Other actresses have supported spoken of a similar culture in Italy.
Jessica Chastain, the star of Zero Dark Thirty and Interstellar, tweeted:
Mr Weinstein has denied that any on his relationships were not consensual.

In a marvel of anthropomorphic effort, the ruck sneers at me in the rear-view mirror of my truck. It's not a camping backpack, nor is it a high schooler's bookbag. It is a monstrosity made for holding over one hundred pounds, and carried for miles by the infantryman Marine or soldier. Its straps, though appearing thick and cushioned, will soon cut into my small shoulders with an unforgiving weight.It is a drug, though without the pleasurable aftereffects. The grunt, like a gun-toting Gollumn, hates the ruck almost as much as he needs it for survival.
It is a physical manifestation of punishment, a static flagellation of the shoulders, back, legs, and feet. Its pain is only secondary to its contents, the supplies and ammunition required to obtain the infantryman's true drug; killing the enemy.
However there is no enemy near me. I'm wearing civilian clothes instead of desert camouflage. The rifle that used to sit easily in my hands is replaced by an innocuous pistol and knife tucked into concealment. The spare magazines, radio batteries, gallons of water, and MRE's are traded for a simulation of a few iron weights. Still, as I pull the truck into the opening of a local forest, it has the familiar evil aura that promises a soul-cleansing pain. Heaving it out of the bed, it clings to my back like a man-made leech with a soul of metal and cordura.
It has been too long. My feet have grown soft, and my spine has forgotten the compression of the burden. My knees are once again unfamiliar with the treacherous angles of an off-road trail navigated under the heavy iron.
The callouses on my inner thighs, heels, toes, and the balls of the feet are replaced by tender living flesh. Soon today they will be raw and almost audible in their pain, but later will in turn be replaced by the hardness of leather. My trapezius muscles, only used for recent efforts in weight lifting, will be squashed into my shoulder blades, but will also come back from the dead.
The trail opens before me in the heat of a midsummer noon. My feet begin their crushing journey up and down hills, negotiating cruel tree roots and mocking mud puddles, all while the ruck whispers thoughts of both defeat and encouragement. It is a sixty pound scab on my back while the miles grind under my boots, with a tendency to shift to one side or the other mid-stride. In efforts to torture me further, it finds ways to finagle a random buckle in a way that will leave a tattoo on the skin of my ribs and chest. More often than in years before, I am forced by unfamiliarity to stop to adjust straps and tuck away more mobile pieces.
Still, when the heat of the sun periodically fades in the shade of the trees and the smell of wild flora seeps into my conscious mind, a new sensation replaces the perma-pain.
Familiarity, and remembrance of a time in my life when I strode shoulder to shoulder with warriors.
The knowledge that the only thing worse than the pain of training is the softness of getting weaker.

via MFE — Livingston, NJ based developer BNE Real Estate Group knew that buying and developinfg a 45-acre, mostly vacant parecel 35 miles north in Pearl River, NY, meant dipping its toes further into the 55-plus age group, since that's what area zoning dictated.
"It turned out to be a blessing since it was our first entry in that [Pearl river] market after working primarily on single-family and multifamily housing, and commercial and hotel development," says Kristina Hedden, the firm's vice president of marketing.
The 2015 purchase of the site that would be home to the 160-unit Club at Pearl River also required retaining a historic house on the property, dubbed the Seth House in memory of its last owners.

Redaspen gets trip in La Prevoyante
EmailMIAMI - Redaspen slipped through along the hedge down the stretch, then outfinished Green Girl and a troubled Dalvina to post the most important victory of her career in Saturday's $200,000 La Prevoyante Handicap at Calder. Redaspen ($18.60), a 5-year-old homebred daughter of Bianconi, had been graded-stakes-placed twice earlier this season before adding the Grade 2 La Prevoyante to her resume. The victory also gave Rebecca Baker the first graded stakes win of her training career. Redaspen, who is owned by the Equivine Farm, had been trained by Tim Woolley until being transferred to Baker and sent to south Florida after having eye surgery in August. Oh Deanne O set the early pace with My Rachel hot on her heels. Jockey Eddie Castro saved ground with Redaspen while racing in mid-pack and allowed her to remain along the hedge when they launched her bid into the stretch. Redaspen overtook My Rachel, who had forged to a short lead at the head of the stretch, nearing the sixteenth marker, before edging out to a three-quarter-length decision over Green Girl. Dalvina raced well placed, also saving ground for over a mile of the 1 1/2-mile La Prevoyante. The even-money favorite and 117-pound highweight, she eased out leaving the final turn and appeared full of run when she was bumped and forced to take up sharply, shut off between horses leaving the eighth pole. Dalvina, with Cornelio Velasquez riding, ultimately recovered in time to outfinish My Rachel by a nose for third. Redaspen covered the distance in 2:26.63 over a turf course officially listed as good but which appeared to be more on the firm side. "The owners wanted to retire her after her win at Philadelphia Park, but a mutual friend talked them into sending her down here to me for the winter," said Baker, who had saddled only nine horses and won just one race before Saturday. "Eddie rode her perfect. Last time she had a wall of horses in front of her. She'd never been this far before, but we always thought the further she went the better." Graham Motion, who trains Dalvina, was understandably dejected after the race. "She just got stopped cold," said Motion. "Cornelio said he hadn't even asked her to run yet when she ran into all that trouble." Kenny Noe: Paradise Dancer gets up Paradise Dancer, a former claimer who has gotten better with age, overtook a dead-game Finallymadeit in the final strides to register a hard-fought neck decision in the $100,000 Kenny Noe Jr. Handicap. It was another 5 1/2 lengths back to Finance Minister in third. Paradise Dancer ($4.20), a 7-year-old gelded son of Langfuhr, added the Grade 3 Kenny Noe to earlier wins this season in the Go to Will and Blazing Sword stakes. The result of the Kenny Noe mirrored that of the seven-furlong Go to Will, in which Paradise Dancer also ran down Finallymadeit in deep stretch. Paradise Dancer received a perfect trip under jockey Elvis Trujillo, rating just behind a hotly contested early pace duel between Finallymadeit and Rexson's Rose. Finallymadeit ultimately shook off his early rival once settling into the stretch, then dug in resolutely when engaged by Paradise Dancer inside the eighth pole before succumbing grudgingly in the final yards. Kirk Ziadie, who trains Paradise Dancer for Richard Averill, called the 3-year-old Finallymadeit "a tough cookie," but that "this old man" - Paradise Dancer - "is tough too. "He's getting up there in age, but he can still do it, although you have to space out his races." Fred W. Hooper: Electrify scores Trujillo came right back 30 minutes later to post the second of his three straight graded wins on the card by guiding Electrify to a convincing 2 3/4-length victory over Summer Book in the $100,000 Fred W. Hooper Handicap. Imawildandcrazyguy finished third. As was the case with Paradise Dancer, Trujillo allowed his mount to settle in nice position behind a pair of rivals content on battling for the early lead. Electrify, a 4-year-old Delaware Township gelding, readily overtook the tiring Golden Strategy and Pop Goes the Tiger into the stretch, then after edging clear had little trouble holding off Summer Book. The Hooper gave Electrify his fourth victory from his last five starts, all stakes, increasing his earnings for the year to just under $300,000. Electrify, the 122-pound highweight in a full field of 12 older horses, paid $7.40 after negotiating 1 1/8 miles in 1:52.56 over a fast track. "I had two concerns going into the race: the post and giving away some weight, but it worked out just fine," said Eddie Plesa Jr. who trains Electrify for the Padua Stables. "He's gotten better as the season has gone along, and I think having him gelded before he came back this year has certainly helped him." Plesa said Electrify would likely make his next start in the Sunshine Millions Classic at Santa Anita on Jan. 26.

Many of the retailers in Formby, Crosby and Maghull are enthusiastic and energetic local people who are committed to the communities where they work.
They work incredibly hard. Many of them do an excellent job and run superb businesses. But they are desperate for improvements to be made to our town centres and desperate for support to reverse the decline which has taken place in our high streets. They also need help sooner rather than later.
In parliament, the Labour Party held an opposition day debate about the future of our high streets. The shop keepers who I meet tell me that they want to take advantage of the opportunities that are available, not just to deal with the challenges they face.
Crosby and Maghull have both been awarded £10,000 as part of the Mary Portas review and Sefton Council has added a further £17,000 to each town centre. Meanwhile, Formby's retailers with the support of parish and borough councillors are working hard to promote the benefits of shopping in the town. But there are many other issues which need to be addressed.
In Maghull the car park is privately owned and I argued that the first hour should be free. The owners didn't agree with me so only the first 30 minutes are free.
Meanwhile Crosby has the first half hour free while Formby's Sumner Rd car park is free for 2 hours. I hope that the council can avoid introducing charges in Sumner Road but it is important to remember that the council has had its budget cut by an eye watering 40% by the Tories and Lib Dems in government.
I will continue to argue alongside retailers that car parking charge increases should be avoided because of the effect on the economy and I hope that local Tory and Lib Dem councillors will lobby their government to reverse the cuts so the council can support the local economy and protect services.
In the debate about high streets, many MPs mentioned business rates. I have been asking businesses in Formby, Crosby and Maghull what they want. Dealing with business rates is top of the agenda and Labour will cut business rates if we win the next election.
The other issue raised by retailers is the need for economic growth and the need to cut the cost of living. Customers having more money means better prospects for shop keepers. That goes without saying.
An energy price freeze and regulation of the energy market — another flagship Labour policy — are exactly what retailers and businesses want to see, because energy represents one of their biggest costs just as it does for householders.
Labour is offering help to retailers and to other businesses.
Businesses need help, whether through a business rate cut, through proper banking support, through having a mentor to encourage and support them, or through the local council and others in the community helping them to make the most of the opportunities available.
That is how we can revitalise our town centres and it is also how we can help small businesses grow and make a big contribution to improving prosperity for the wider community.

Developer: Broken Rules
Publisher: Broken Rules
Price: £6.99
Website: http://www.secrets-of-raetikon.com/
The concept of Secrets of Raetikon is simple but rewarding. You play as a bird that flies around a very engrossing world, avoiding obstacles such as other hostile birds, who drag you into spikes or wolves that climb up the branches of trees in order to reach you. Your main objective is collecting 'slithers' which are used to open doorways and gain shards. You then take these shards back to a network of cages that open when you drop a shard in the marked position. It's very simple, but that's part of the charm.
There are many side objectives as you glide through the world that aren't explicitly pointed out, they're just there for you discover. There are small, helpless birds that are in danger which you can help or you can reunite bunnies which then reward you with some blue shards. These build up to getting another life. It made the world feel vibrant and a rewarding place to be.
What makes the game feel unique is your lack of power. Surprisingly the bird does not upgrade its laser cannons that reside on each wing as you level up and gain new abilities. It's just a bird and that's a good thing because it means you actually have to think when playing the game, it doesn't just become, mindlessly blasting through waves of enemies. It feels like you really are controlling a bird that is under threat from real world dangers and you have to deal with them using the environment to your advantage. Dropping rocks onto them leaving them crippled and bleeding or grabbing hold of them with your talons and driving them into spikes are just some of the ways to deal with the dangers around you. At one point I was returning a shard back to the main hub when I noticed a bird was following me and others were joining in the chase. They were not out to hurt me, only to follow the shiny shard in my talons and that small moment helped me understand what this game is really about.
The controller is recommended by the developers so that's what I used and I have no complaints having picked up the controls in minutes. I had a quick go with a keyboard and it didn't feel as good, but it was 100% playable. The art style is really neat; the angular origami-type look is refreshing and helps with the focus on nature. Everything looked great separated into 2d triangles especially the wildlife and statues and the backdrop is also well designed.
The puzzles are simple, even though I had a little trouble completing them due to the awkwardness of carrying parts of a statue through the air and lining them up just right before dropping the piece. Also there were moments where I found myself stuck in parts of the environment where I had to tap a furiously for a minute until I could be free again, but these are problems that can easily be fixed. I look forward to experiencing what this mysterious world has to offer as the game continues through its development process.

Purpose and Mission
The United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology's (USCAP) mission is to provide pathologists with high quality continuing medical education (CME) at the investigative and applied practice level and to reinforce and update attendees' knowledge of pathology in their area(s) of interest and need in the understanding of pathologic processes.
This mission is accomplished by a broad CME program, which includes various topics and forums of particular intellectual and professional interest where participants can engage in presentation, discussion, and critical evaluation of the application of scientific, technological, and methodological advances to matters related to human health and disease. Specifically these include lectures, seminars, symposia, courses with extemporaneous discussion and critical evaluation, question and answer sessions, and the distribution of instructional materials for the purpose of meeting identifiable educational needs. The program is planned to meet the needs of pathologists of various levels of experience from residents and fellows to the well-established and expert investigator and practitioner. The effectiveness in meeting registrant needs is assessed by their satisfaction as evidenced by comparative and annual attendance monitoring and by registrant evaluations as to the improvement of their knowledge and skills relevant to their pathology practice.
Services and Activities
Meetings and Conferences
The USCAP hosts several multi-day educational events throughout North America every year, including our USCAP Annual Meeting: the largest gathering of pathologist-scientists in the world. The Annual Meeting offers over 100 courses, an expansive exhibit hall, and attracts over 5,000 pathology professionals from around the world – in fact, over 20% of attendees come from continents other than North America. If you are a pathologist, this is the place to be.
The Annual Meeting:
Regional Meetings:
Our regional meetings are held in attractive venues throughout North America. These meetings are smaller, and more readily enable peer-to-peer discussions and discovery. Course participants can focus on substantive areas of pathology with leading experts, and apply the knowledge gained from those exchanges in their daily practices. Our regional meetings include:
Electronic Educational Offerings:
The USCAP offers pathology education in a variety of media and formats, enabling busy pathologists many ways to learn and advance their skills. Much of our content is free, although there is a charge to access some content, which goes to support our educational, non-profit mission. Whichever you choose, you will be learning from the experts.

What About the Vista Hermosa Library?
The Vista Hermosa Library is a successful collaboration between the Vista Hermosa School, Broetje Orchards, and the District. While it is not planned to be expanded at this time, the District is committed to providing excellent library service for the Vista Hermosa community and will continue to respond to library service needs there into the future.
What about the Plaza Library and the current Administrative Office?
The District will close, and consolidate, both of its current locations within the city limits of Walla Walla into the new Central Library and Administrative Center to be located in College Place.
The Plaza Library is a well used resource for the Library District and the public. The usage of the library demonstrated a clear demand for a convenient "quick stop" location to pick up and order library materials. The library registered over 500 new library users since it opened in the summer of 2011. All staff and resources from this location will move to the Central Library and Administrative Center.
The District's current Administration Office, located on Jade Avenue in Walla Walla since 1992, has served the district well - but it is much too small to accommodate the current, and future, growth of the District. All staff and administrative functions of the District will move to the Central Library and Administrative Center.
All staff and assets from these two locations will be consolidated into the new College Place location, including:
Current, Rented, Rural Library Administrative Office


text: Before you read anything else, please realize that I am too much of a noob to follow the guides listed as stickies. I just need simple advise; as in "get this and get it here" - Thanks for understanding I have the Nintendo DS Lite (not DSi) and I am just getting into Flashing. There are just sooo many choices and sooo many places where you can buy them. There are so many brands, and it seems like each brand has multiple packages (thinking of R4 clones here). I am just looking for something for DS Lite that is - Cheap - Reliable (as far as quality of the card, and support for games) - Fast - Easy to use - (and as a bonus, would play GBA games too) So the short of it is this, I'm really new to this scene and I don't have much time to get acquainted with all the names, parameters, and other factors. Please just let me know what to buy and where to buy it... I need some expert advise THANKS!!!

Whether you aspire to be a writer, artist, designer, or go after another creative position, there are certain qualities that you must possess.
To be a truly creative individual, you need to have certain traits that will make your work original and stand out from the mould. Creative people share certain characteristics that make them unique, and set them apart from others. Read this article to see if you have what it takes to pursue a creative career.
Self-Assurance – Creativity requires the unwavering belief that your concept, idea or piece of work is worthwhile and up to your own standards. Creative work is extremely subjective, and is open to interpretation; unfortunately, not everyone will always agree with you or praise your talent. If you want to make it in this type of industry, you need to have passion and self-assurance in your aesthetic to accomplish what you set out to. You need to believe in yourself even if no one else does, since creative works often push the mould and require time for people to get used to them.
Inquisitiveness – In order to create something original, you need to challenge the status quo, and the way to do that is through questioning existing standards. Creative people question why something works the way it does, and challenge existing rules and ideas. They often like to take on challenges to experience something for themselves without believing others on their word. That is the only way they can find answers to their hard questions.
Originality – After asking specific questions, creative people come up with original ideas that feature innovative perspectives. Without breaking the mould, nothing creative would ever be made into being. This requires the ability to be flexible in your way of thinking and come up with alternative solutions to everyday tasks.
Risk-Taking – It is important to recognise the fact that many, or even most, creative undertakings are failures. Many new ideas don't get understood by the general public, or unique suggestions to change the way things work don't get embraced. However, creative people continue to take risks to propose possible alternatives to typical standards without being afraid of being misunderstood or undervalued.
Creative people share certain traits in common. One of the most typical characteristics that you need to possess be a truly original person is to be able to think outside the box and offer up new ways of thinking or doing something. Don't be afraid to propose an original thought or idea, even if no one accepts it at first. Keep trying and eventually you will be recognised for your work.
Many thanks!

Feed the Need is a powerful and simple way for the churches of Conway to stock the shelves of the food pantry at The Conway Ministry Center. We will have worship services at 9:30 am and 11:00 am only, and no small groups this week. You will receive a card with a list of items requested by the food pantry. After church, head to one of the grocery stores listed on the card, buy as much as you'd like from the list and take the items to the FTN trucks parked at the store locations. Lists of needed food will also be available at the stores. The trucks will be at the stores from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. The food will later be delivered to the Ministry Center.
Join churches around the city for this fun and exciting day!
