The answer is obvious. Zombie Clowns!
I have been debating back and forth on which theme I should go for this year. I normally do a haunted house incorporating a theme for each room but this year I want to focus on one theme. Zombies are my favorite and I would be able to pull of more easily on a large scale, however, clowns have always been the scariest feature of my house by far. Only thing is I don't have enough stuff for the clowns to put in every room of my haunted house and it would cost a pretty penny to do so.
So with that said I was wondering if I could get your input on which I should do this year?
The answer is obvious. Zombie Clowns!
Do Zombies. Clown haunts have an inherent flaw. People who are really afraid of clowns will not go into a clown haunt, so the only people going through a clown haunt are not afraid of clowns. So they need to use haunt gags to make them scary. If you need to use all the gags then you might as well do a cooler theme than clowns. Clowns are best used sporadically in a haunt. Like a surprise clown.
Allen H
I figured if I did do a Zombie theme. I would reserve the last room to be a Zombie Clown room. Or even a Zombie Circus with zombiefied animals and all.

what I wore : a new favoriteMonday, November 12, 2012
I've found myself a new favorite outfit, or at least another top contender (because this one still rules hard even if the weather doesn't agree) I've basically been wearing this same thing for a few weeks now, or at least some version of it, always including the jeans, coat and hat. I think I've discussed it before but I'm ridiculously picky about jeans. I only own a few pairs and the last time I bought a pair was probably back in February or so. I just feel like they all fit strange. But I'm thinking these might be my new go-to pair, like I might want three or four pairs of them. The fit is awesome, and they're soft. But best of all they don't get weird and baggy toward the end of the day, which is literally the worst thing a pair of jeans do. I've always been skeptical of buying jeans online because I have no idea what size jeans I wear. But a few of the other reviews included their measurements so I was able to pick a pair that fit perfectly!
I'm going to be so sad when all the leaves are gone. Right now all but a few trees have lots all their leaves so the first few test shots from outfit pictures this day turned out really blah. Naked trees don't make the best backdrops. I feel like fall was so short this year. I mean, technically it's still fall but it really doesn't feel like it at all.
Hope you have an excellent Monday!
PS. Knitted Dove does not currently have their webstore up and running yet. You can find the coat here and the cardigan here if you're interested.

What a lovely coat!ReplyDelete
That broach is super cool.
I have the exact same problem with jeans. I own 5 pairs- 3 I never wear, 1 I only wear if my favorite pair is dirty, and all other times I'm wearing a skirt. Or sweatpants, I can't lie.ReplyDelete
love your bag. :)ReplyDelete
Irene Wibowo
I love all the green! And the hat looks great with that coat!ReplyDelete
I love this coat, it looks so comfy. I have a hard time buying jeans too. My waist is small, so most of them are really baggy around my back. It's amazing when I find a good pair that fits well.ReplyDelete
You're wearing pants! I love it. You look adorable :)ReplyDelete
How amazing is that cardigan!? I want one! Also I love how your coat and bag kind of match :) I can see why the outfit is a favourite!ReplyDelete
yes, i agree about jeans. i have one pair at the moment and it's quite enough. more a skirt and pants person.ReplyDelete
i really like color combination today, just perfect and it fits this weather.
have a nice day :)
I love this outfit Kaylah! As a redhead, this mossy kind of green is always my go-to, and my winter jacket is a similar colour. I just feel so snazzy wearing it! I also really dig that bag! I've been meaning to make myself a camera bag with some dobby dot vinyl I have at home in a very similar colour to the leather bits on your bag. It looks so lovely paired with the green, as well!ReplyDelete
Alright, well, I'm feeling good and inspired to make something nice, so thank you for that!!
And as for backdrops, I have recently been scouting nice walls around my town to use once winter hits, even if that means outfit photos have to take 5 minutes or less or I'll freeze my butt off! You're lucky to have such a cute little home to take photos in when the snow rolls in.
Predictions for the Past
I looove everything about this outfit! Especially the colour of your jacket. Such a good colour combo :)ReplyDelete
I sooo love the bag and scarf!! <3 They are perfect for the weather!!ReplyDelete
Lovely outfit, I especially love the cardigan -so cute <3ReplyDelete
I totally agree about the jeans! I literally own four of the same jeans. I definitely prefer jeggings over actual jeans but am so knit picky about my jeggings (I don't like the too thin and they need to look like jeans, of course). I've found that altering (bleaching a pair slightly, adding rips here and there) each pair a bit helps it look like I actual change my pants LOL.
Your post's reminded me that I need a new coat!!ReplyDelete
I love the colour co-ordination between your hat, coat and bag too. :)
THOSE BUTTONS! The outfit is so cute :)ReplyDelete
The coat! The bag! The cardi - I'm in love with your outfit! And you look so pretty in those pictures!ReplyDelete
That jacket!!!!!ReplyDelete
Ur dimples are very cute!!!!ReplyDelete
The coat seems so cozy! And loved the broach!ReplyDelete
I really love your coat. I've been looking for one like that for ages! The scarf looks really cozy too.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous cardigan! That moth pin, OMG! LOVE!ReplyDelete
I love your coat! It's gorgeous!!!ReplyDelete
Oh wauw, knitted dove has the most amazing things! Too bad it's so pricey :/ I would love this outfit too, I can see why it's a favorite of yours! xoReplyDelete
I really love this so much! That coat is gorgeous. Also, the dragonfly brooch looks like it belongs to that coat.ReplyDelete
<3 Melissa
That coat is DIVINE!ReplyDelete
That coat is lovely, those big buttons are amazing! Lots of the trees are already bare round here, but it has happened so fast there are still leaves of the ground so it isn't too bad,, I'll be upset when all the colour is gone xoReplyDelete
I am so in love with this outfit! The colors are just fantastic and it looks like it's perfect for a walk in the park.ReplyDelete
oooooh I love that coat, the big buttons are gorgeous and it looks so cozy!ReplyDelete
Those buttons!ReplyDelete
Can I please have that bag? It's too cute!!ReplyDelete
That moth pin is so beautiful (is it a death's-head hawkmoth?).ReplyDelete
I'm going to be sad when all the leaves are gone too- fall is too fleeting!

Hello! I don't know how crafty you are but I saw this pattern on Ravelry and thought of you.ReplyDelete
Such a cute and cosy outfit! I'm te same with ordering jeans online - it makes me super nervous/anxious hahah! Smitten with that gorgeous cardy too!ReplyDelete
Love love,
Sway x
Your hair and that jacket are a match made in pretty color heaven :)ReplyDelete
I love that cardigan so much!!! Great outfit!ReplyDelete
good jeans are something to get excited about! I'm super picky about jeans too, and I never know what size I am... but maybe I'll give these a try!ReplyDelete
also, that scarf looks SO COZY and wonderful.
Like always, perfect outfit, perfect color palette! That coat is simply amazing!!!ReplyDelete
Olive xox
I feel exactly the same way about jeans. I love to wear them, but so often the fit is completely rotten. I'm short and my waist is a fair bit smaller than my hips, not to mention, I walk a lot so my legs are very muscular, I can just never seem to get jeans that fit correctly without any weird loose bits, or even worse, too tight bits! Perhaps high-waisted is the step forwards? I was thinking I'd have to permanently switch to skirts or jeggings at this rate!ReplyDelete
You're such a babe!! I love that coat with your pretty hair color :DReplyDelete
I know how you feel about jeans; I'm the same way! This coat and bag are super uber fabulous by the way.ReplyDelete
Love this whole outfit! Especially the cardie and bag :) xReplyDelete
That coat is beautiful on you (and in general). I love the entire outfit.ReplyDelete
I have the Karaoke Songstress jeans as well! I absolutely adore them. Mine are the darker pair, but I think I want to get a pair of the lighter stain as well. They make everything look just perfect.ReplyDelete
Lovely outfit as always. [:
so lovely! grrreat coat!ReplyDelete
Oh my. I really, really love that coat and those shoes!ReplyDelete

Camp Hope 2013 Video by Alex Low
Camp HOPE is a wonderful place in central Wisconsin where children and teenagers gather to work through the grieving process after a loved one dies. The camp gently guides the children and teenagers through the complex emotions by showing them that they are not alone.
Fun is the top priority at Camp HOPE. The children and teenagers learn that it is okay to laugh and play and that to do so is not disrespectful to the memory of the person who died.
Through playing, sharing, and being together with peers and staff who know the pain, the children and teenagers realize that the emotions they are feeling are a normal part of grief. What is happening to them happens to others everywhere, and at Camp HOPE, their pain is understood and shared.
The founders of Camp HOPE are Becky and Marty Loy. They began the camp in September, 1989 in memory of their daughter, Sara Margaret.
Marty and Becky Loy received the Champions Among Us Award in 2007, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson and Meredith Corporation. Selected out of hundreds of nominees, Marty and Becky accepted their award and grant to Camp HOPE in New York City at the star studded gala held at Tribeca Rooftop.
Johnson & Johnson saluted the Loys for their work with Camp HOPE: "We celebrate the efforts of everyday people who spend their time, energy and talent to improve the lives of children in their communities."

- 2006 Camp dates were on the weekend of May 20-21 and October 7-8.

Allows companies to launch enterprise-wide new product introductions on-time and on-budget.
ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Experience
Collaborative environment for global project team members to access, manage and report status for their A&D program task assignments.
Performance-to-contract is greatly improved when all contract requirements are visible to the entire team. Using one system to bring together the core processes of these functional disciplines provides the ability to improve overall performance of program execution and delivery-to-contract.
- Find all critical program information and submit and manage all deliverables in one central place reducing their non-value-add time.
- Substantially reduce the effort of status reporting.
- Always obtain the latest iteration of others' work products.
- Comply with PLM work procedures without leaving the familiar Microsoft Windows environment.
- Improve collaboration and decision-making by leveraging latest program and product data.
- Better communicate task complexity, risk and status to management by itemizing activities in assigned tasks.
Manage Task AssignmentsProgram team members are provided with a consolidated list of their schedule tasks from all their assigned projects. Project members can filter their tasks based on completion status. All critical tasks are highlighted in red font for easy visibility. Task assignees can further define subtasks within constraints of the planned start and end dates defined by the summary task. In order to communicate status, project members can update task percentage completion and enter applied effort. Special tasks called "submittals" distinguish contractual program activities to deliver data to customers or for the suppliers on the team, their data deliveries to the program.
Task DeliverablesAs tasks are assigned and being worked, task deliverables should be associated and managed in the context of the task. Team members have access to an extensive list of typical aerospace document types to clearly distinguish the kinds of deliverable being developed. As deliverables progress through their lifecycle, the system automatically updates task status. This status is communicated to many levels of management whenever they utilize the roll-up reporting features of ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Management, relieving team members of much of their status-reporting overhead. After tasks are completed, the deliverables can also be linked and categorized into project folders for access control and increased visibility. To keep task deliverables on schedule, program members receive automatic reminders of upcoming or late tasks via company email.
VPM Project ManagementFor companies using either ENOVIA VPM V5 or ENOVIA VPM Central V6, it is possible to complete design activity with the project. In V6, ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Experience and ENOVIA VPM Central both run on the same technology platform. Therefore, users can easily search for and associate VPM data as deliverables to assigned project tasks. For ENOVIA VPM V5, ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Experience synchronizes project tasks to VPM actions. These triggered VPM V5 actions include required input for a designer to do his job. Output from the VPM actions is instantaneously available on the corresponding project tasks. As the VPM design data matures, its status changes automatically to update the project task status.
Program ContentAll program content and deliverables are securely managed and stored within folder and subfolder structures. Security is established on a per project basis within the program with a project owner and/or project leads determining individual access rights with ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Management. Within a project, each folder and file maintains additional levels of security. Team members can establish a single environment where all project information — not just documents — can be managed and shared. Members can subscribe to document events to become immediately informed as changes and additions occur. Reports can be executed to provide a consolidated list of project-related content from either the schedule structure or from the folder structure.
Team CollaborationProgram members can create ad-hoc routes or workflows to circulate tasks, projects and files for further work and/or approvals and conduct online discussions regarding a project or task. All team members can subscribe, view and comment on the original discussion topic or any of the subsequent responses.
Issue / Risk ManagementIssues are real incidents, inquiries or problems that are impacting a program negatively, and risks are anything that has the potential to impact a program negatively. Issue management provides a context for capturing, tracking and closing Issues in the context of a project. Issues are identified, captured, classified and assigned to project members for resolution. Risk management enables program teams to identify, quantify, analyze and mitigate program risks. During the analysis process, risks need to be assessed and quantified in two dimensions. These two dimensions are impact and probability with ranges from 1-5. These dimension values are used to determine each risk priority and clarify which program risks need mitigation to help minimize the potential negative impact. Team members can be assigned tasks from special risk-mitigation sub-projects.
Access PLM Data with Microsoft ApplicationsWith ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Experience users create and access PLM data from the most popular Microsoft applications. This enables enterprise-level collaboration while not disrupting the established productivity of end users.Users can access all files in the ENOVIA system as if they have been saved locally on their PC's hard drive. ENOVIA business objects such as programs, projects, contracts, correspondence folders, submittals, tasks and other artifacts are represented as directories and files on the user's PC, which enables easy saving and retrieval of files regardless of their format (CAD, PDF, MS Office, etc.). Using Windows Explorer, it is possible to easily store files in ENOVIA using popular Windows functions such as "cut and paste" and "drag and drop". Through the Microsoft Office tools (Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Outlook®), users can easily save, browse and navigate product content with standard "Open", "Insert", "Save" and "Save As" dialogs to perform PLM actions such as search, document lock/unlock, file check in/check out, delete, version and revise.
In addition, the following is also possible:
- Comply with company standards using document templates stored in ENOVIA and accessed with Microsoft Office applications
- Access data from ENOVIA that has been automatically populated into MS Word tables
- Search the ENOVIA database to find product information
- Subscribe to document modification events
- Route documents for review, comment and approval
- Record key decisions and customer correspondence with saved email threads

"Khum" means a mansion or house owned by members of Lanna royal family, thus Khum Chao Burirat literally means Chao Burirat's mansion. Khum Chao Burirat is one of the few ancient "khum" left in Chiang Mai, featuring a Western-style structure on the first floor with Lanna wood accents on second floor. It was built during 1889-1892, showing the invasion of Western (British) culture among the royals during those ancient years. Chao Burirat was one of the highest-level royals in Chiang Mai during the period of 1774 - 1932. The mansion is now the office of the Lanna Architecture Centre, Architecture Faculty, Chiang Mai University.

This shoe goes with everything!
"I'm so glad that I purchased this shoe! It goes with absolutely everything (I have it in beige). I was accidentally shipped the coral color, which was also very pretty FYI. It's about as comfortable as a shoe of this height can be. It runs pretty short. I normally wear an 8 or an 8.5 and needed a 9 in this shoe (8.5 was too tight and 9 is just barely too big for me). Overall, this shoe is fantastic, as long as you get the color and size that you need!"

Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton delivers Christmas presents at taxpayer expense [TV ad]
Posted on 12/19/2007 5:07:46 PM PST by Brilliant
Third commercial down.
shes the devil
linkey no workie
That is the WORST Christmas ad I have ever seen. A clear attempt at convincing the old, minorities and women about Federal "giveaway" programs. Pandering at its most disgusting.
On youtube too. Disgusting.
Works for me. Gotta copy and paste into your browser.
Watch the other commercials too. Edwards promises to "speak for us."
Personally, I don't want him speaking for me.
She's not ashamed to pander. Seems to think that's what politics is all about.
All your children are belong to us...
She's in favor of "universal pre-K."
Is this for real? This is scary!
Absolutely it's for real. I'm not THAT good at Photoshop.
Where is this ad playing? If it works like it did on me then she has jumped another shark! How many times do you get to jump a shark?
Supposedly Iowa. Probably NH as well.
Universal Pre~K?
How about "universal post decanting."
She's playing to the libs. When the general election begins, you won't hear anything like this, unless the GOP chooses to run the ad.
Our schools are already trash. She's going to heap another $500 billion onto the expense. She's not going to be able to get it out of the taxpayer's hyde. She's going to have to cut primary education spending to free up the money.
Buying votes from fools who think they're getting something for nothing. The Democrats and their voters are a collection of idiots.
The $500 billion will go into the pockets of education "experts", bureaucrats, administrators, and teachers. And our kids will keep getting an education that leaves them stupid. What we really need is a rebellion against useless government spending.
That was some spooky/creepy stuff y'all.
I can't WAIT for the You-Tube parodies.
"Oh yes! Here's the box of Cigars for Bill... "
I do have a question, though... Won't all these Christmas ads offend their supporters?
OMG!!! OMG!!!! UNIVERSAL PRE-K??? The Govt will YANK your TINY children out of your homes!!
Vote Hillary, she's the only candidate with enough b*lls to tell you up front she intends to take your stuff away and give it to someone more deserving.
Universal Pre-K
Another name for Hitlery's Youth.
Great I'd like to give you all a Christmas present this year just send me the money to do so-(sarc)
She disgusts me!
Is Hillary giving "gifts" to all these ideas? What does one give to Alternate Energy and Universal Pre-K?
Sorry, Hillary!, but in my family we put the names of the recipients on the boxes, not what's inside. Or does her "Methodist" upbringing do things differently? Whoever thought this up has a strange view of gift giving.

Replacement Engine Cooling Parts
Antifreeze Explained: What It Does And Why It's Needed
"Antifreeze" is a chemical, primarily consisting of ethylene glycol, which when mixed with water serves to lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of the mixture. Traditionally, the combination of antifreeze and water is known as "coolant". As opposed to air-cooled vehicles which rely on fan-driven air blowing over engine components, water-cooled engines use a radiator, water pump, thermostat, heater core, hoses, and passageways within the engine.

I guess he could be Fujitora. he did talk like he could be a marine and with high enough observation haki, who needs to see anyway.

I guess he could be Fujitora. he did talk like he could be a marine and with high enough observation haki, who needs to see anyway.
Caribou looks more and more likely to join.
Not only has he been on the front cover for months, now he is in a weapon factory? And it is established he is in the New World after he left his brother and old crew behind..
Again, Caribou is the best of both worlds, one he is a Logia (with the ability to store things inside of him) yet he is weak enough not to be confused in the monster trio. If he didn't abandon his brother and old crew to the Marines I would be totally behind him joining lol
^You're forgetting he's a gigantic asshole. That alone pretty much prevents him from joining the crew.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Sorry for derping FB, i literally just woke up form a nap, and posted that my bad bro. just saw that i mentions kizaru and thought you misread my post, sorry bro.
Does any one else think that the card he gave nami could be foreshadowing something bad happening to the card holder. i can just see it start to burn. you know.
big ZATOICHI reference there. gambling blind swordsman. hmmm i see what he did there.
nuff said.

Interesting theory a friend of mine came up with. Perhaps the fairies mentioned are real and are what brought the toys to life (Like in Pinoccio with the blue fairy). I wouldn't be surprised, Mermaids and Giants live in One Piece, why not fairies? Plus I think Oda mentioned a new race being introduced, but I don't know where he said that so don't quote me.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
The main reason why it's very probable that blind samurai is Fujitora is cause all Admirals are based off of Japanese actors.
Fujitora would be based on the Actor Shintaro Katsu, his most famous role is Zatoichi, the Blind Samurai.

From vacation ideas to gardening preparation, check out our September checklist to enjoy the rest of summer and get ready for fall.
From household hazards to insurance, here is a roundup of our best tips for ensuring your pet's safety.
Just like the planning that went into your vacation, there is planning needed before boarding your pet. Here are some dos and don'ts to help make the process a little easier.
About a year and a half ago my Mom and I moved to New Jersey for her job. What a long drive in the car that was, thought we would never get there. The one thing I hated about moving from Columbus, Ohio to NJ was that I wouldn't get to see Dr. Weller anymore. She had been my doctor since my Mom adopted me when I was three years old. I am a chocolate point Himilayan and very beautiful if I say so myself. I know Dr. Weller misses me too. Shortly after my Mom adopted me I started having a problem with my eye, Dr. Weller told Mom it was a corneal sequestram and that I would need surgery. She sent Mom and me to a specialist who I think was one of her college professors, darn right now I can't remember his name. Anyway I had the surgery and I was fine. Other than just the usual stuff Dr. Weller always was wonderful to me and Mom. My adopted brother, Bailey passed away from cancer right before Mom and I left for Jersey. I knew that would be hard for Mom to deal with, so I had to stay strong for her. After all I am no kid anymore myself, I'll be 17 in January. So you can see Dr. Weller had been my vet for over 12 years. I miss her, I miss Sarah and the rest of the staff. The best Vet I ever knew, luv ya Dr. Weller.
I've taken my cat and dog to Knapp Veterinary Hospital for 8 years. I have never been disappointed in the care given my critters, nor the professionalism of the support staff. Everyone seems to be in tune with how pet lovers feel at various times. There are treats out for the dogs (it's actually dog food bits, but my dog thought it was special!) There is a television if you can concentrate on it. The hours and days of operation are super. Everything was very clean and smell-free (!). Somehow the wait to see a vet is short, yet the vet talks with you until you understand the issues. The techs are kind. The vet found a mast cell cancerous tumor that I had never felt and I pet my dog a lot. She also found a problem(g) in the pre-surgery blood work. The vet was extremely thorough and told me what I didn't have to be worried about and what was of concern. I like straight talking, done gently.Together we mapped out a plan for doing diagnostics after my dog heals from the surgery. I'm sad and frightened, but I have complete confidence in Knapp Veterinary Hospital. If I had the slightest bad experience I they would be history.
With a diagnosis of FIP there's not much that you really can do, but still yet, with extreme compassion and the willingness to try and work out any possible options with regards to how comfortable you are in making a decision one way or another. They, through soft voices, still offered us ways to try to prolong our Baby Jewel's life even if it meant only for a few more days. I believe they could see the confliction we had growing in us and gently offered the last choice anyone wants to hear when you take your loved one to the Vet. Since seeing her in agony was not how we would have wanted to let her go, much less at a mere 6mos old...through tears and true confusion, we laid our Baby Jewel to rest. The group of loving & caring proffessionals overseeing our kittens care definitely made us feel like that day was more than just an office visit. It was more than a business transaction. That day they made us feel that it was most certainly more about LIFE.
Choosing the right vet for your pet can be tough. After all, your furry friend can't tell you how he or she feels about the doctor. Even though you're not the one treated by the vet, whoever your animal sees is obviously your decision. Since many veterinary diseases and injuries can turn into emergencies very quickly, it's important to have a go-to vet. This way, you can ensure you'll know whom to see when your animal needs care.
Speak to your friends and family about vets who've treated their pets. You can even talk to your groomer or an animal shelter worker for referrals. When you visit the clinics you've been referred to, check that the facility is clean, animals are separated and the staff is calm and courteous. Not all clinics are American Animal Hospital Association accredited. This accreditation isn't a legal necessity, though a clinic that's AAHA-accredited is guaranteed to offer high-quality medical care. To receive accreditation, the clinic has to meet the AAHA's standards in the areas of facility, equipment and quality care.
If you're looking for a specialist, you want to make sure he or she is board-certified to practice in that specific area of animal medicine. You'll want to make sure your vet is also convenient to visit, so there are factors to take into account.
The type of animal you own should play a part in which vet you choose as well. While your options are vast if you have a dog or cat, you may have to visit an avian clinic for your bird or an exotics clinic for your snake.
Just as there are many types of doctors, there are many types of vets. Some focus on livestock or house pets, while others may specialize in dentistry or surgery. They may work in a veterinary clinic or zoo, working specifically with the animals housed there, or travel to farms to work with livestock. Since horse racing and other equestrian activities are so popular, some vets are trained to work just with horses.
Diseases, like malaria and yellow fever are also transmitted through animals. Some vets have insight to diseases that affect both humans and animals. Vets have contributed to the treatment and cure of many diseases that plagued both humans and their furry friends.
Government agencies employ veterinarians as well. When an animal comes from a foreign land, these vets quarantine them and check for any diseases that may be present in an effort to control new diseases that can be brought into the country. Other Specific types of vets include:
A vet assistant works alongside the veterinarian and helps out around the clinic. In some cases, they may assist vets in surgery or restrain struggling animals during tests or lab work. The everyday duties of a veterinary assistant include; monitoring and caring for animals after surgery, keeping medical records, cleaning animals' teeth, feeding and bathing them, cleaning cages, sterilizing surgical equipment, giving animals medication, collecting samples for testing and performing laboratory tests, and offering grief counseling to pet owners.
It's a good idea to bring your pet to the vet regularly. This way, he or she becomes familiar and comfortable with the care providers, and you can stay on top of your pet's preventative care. If the animal is small enough, bring it to the office in a carrier. Just as you visit the doctor for a yearly check up, you should bring in your pet for regular check ups as well. During a routine veterinary visit, the vet will probably begin by asking you if there have been any changes in your pet's behavior or habits.
The vet will then take your pet's vitals, like weight, temperature, pulse and respiration rate, and perform a physical examination of the pet. During a physical exam, the vet checks the abdomen for swollen organs, and the legs, feet and joints for any potential problems. Depending on the age, breed or condition of your pet, your veterinarian may also check the eyes, ears and mouth.
When your vet conducts a full body examination, he or she will check out your pet's coat and skin, noting any hair loss, itchy spots or lumps. Keep note of your animal's shedding habits so you can let the vet know if anything seems abnormal. The vet will check for parasites, fleas, ticks, mites and heartworms as well.
Vaccinations are also important to your pet, especially if you have a cat or a dog, and your vet will suggest that you make sure they're current. Keeping up to date with vaccinations can prevent your furry friend from getting distemper, rabies, hepatitis and lyme disease. Some vaccinations last longer than others, so speak to your doctor about staying caught up with your animal's shots.
Just like your own health insurance, you want to make sure your animal is covered before he or she needs veterinary services. Some common animal surgeries can cost thousands of dollars, and you don't want to end up having to foot a surprise bill that costs more than your paycheck.
There's no set price for pet health insurance. Costs can depend on factors such as where you live, the age and breed of your pet, and how much coverage you want. Before you take out a pet insurance policy, you'll want to meet with your vet to go over what he or she thinks your animal should be covered for. Many vets believe that you should make sure cancer, chronic disease, hereditary and congenital disease, and common breed-related medical conditions are all addressed in your policy.
Some pet owners can't afford insurance for their pet, so there are other options to make paying for surprise pet visits as easy as possible. Some pet stores have wellness plans - which tend to be much cheaper than an insurance policy - that offer shots, check ups, screenings and discounts on various procedures your pet may need. A lot of veterinary offices offer payment plans for pricey procedures as well, as long as you have decent credit history. For a last-ditch option, there are even privately funded organizations that offer pet owners financial aid for their pet's treatments.

Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University Working Paper No. 78
This study examines whether application of IFRS by non-US firms results in accounting amounts comparable to those resulting from application of US GAAP by US firms. IFRS firms have greater accounting system and value relevance comparability with US firms when IFRS firms apply IFRS than when they applied domestic standards. Comparability is greater for firms that adopt IFRS mandatorily, firms in common law and high enforcement countries, and in more recent years. Earnings smoothing, accrual quality, and timeliness are potential sources of the greater comparability. Although application of IFRS has enhanced financial reporting comparability with US firms, significant differences remain.

Pyrrhic Victories
March 22 2013 09:14AM
An interesting debate I've been watching over Twitter among Flames fans recently: "Is it okay to cheer for short term failure on your own team?"
There seem to be more and more fans who want the Flames to experience repeated losses and blowouts in order to get a change of management and finally make some seemingly necessary moves. On the other hand, there's a lot of fans who are more than happy to keep cheering on the team to wins, despite the fact that the Flames are clearly not doing well on the whole and probably aren't going to contend for anything in the short-term.
It's a confusing arrangement. At which point do you value future returns over current success? Is it ever acceptable to cheer against your favorite team?
I find myself standing between the two views. I can't bring myself to outright cheer against Calgary, even if it means positive change down the road. Neither can I sit down and think "Oh boy I really want the Flames to use what limited assets they have to acquire aging veterans at the trade deadline and lemme tell ya I really want Jay Feaster bumbling his way around the league for another year or two".
I think where this leaves me is wanting the Flames to simply play better.
This, admittedly, comes down to one of the oldest advanced stats vs. counting stats arguments. Are wins all that matter? As someone who's used advanced stats for some time, it should hardly be a surprise that I think there's a lot more than wins. Just because a team wins a lot in the short-term doesn't mean they're actually a good team. I want the Flames to win, but I want them to win because they're a good team, meaning their succes will be lasting. If Calgary suddenly starts winning 3 out of 4 games and Iginla looks 5 years younger and Giordano isn't a trainwreck on the ice and things come together magically - that's fantastic.
That said, if the Flames start winning a ton of games despite being in the bottom third in possession and have a horribly unsustainable PDO, well, I won't cheer against the team outright, but I'll have a hard time enjoying the "success" nevertheless.
Calgary is currently a medicore team at best and with the trade deadline approaching each win seems a little more like a pyrrhic victory: success for the moment, but ultimately self-defeating.
I think this article sums up a lot of where I sit on the matter as well. Hard to cheer for them, hard to cheer against them. It's weird to feel this indifferent about my team.
ive been cheering against this team since 5 or 6 games in. same deal last year and the year before.
March 22 2013, 09:24AM
Arik, where have you been? Seems like forever since you commented twitter/FN/FB wise.
I want them to lose and often. But I can't say that I won't be unhappy when the deadline passes. All this suspense is killing me!
Plus, if comments like this http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/2013/03/22/nhl-rumors-i-gms-chiarelli-rutherford-regier-and-holmgren-talk-trade-deadline/ are correct then we might be able to hoodwink some desperate GM. Assuming Feaster isn't hoodwinked first.
Win or lose,I hope Feaster makes the right decisions at the deadline. I can't really cheer for the team to win because I don't trust Feaster to do the right thing. I also can't really cheer outright for them to lose.
It's sad to say, but a complete and utter failure of a season, is likely the only way to force the Flames organization into changing directions. If this club was realistically in the playoff race, it would be status quo in Flames land, management would be looking to add at the trade deadline, likely using draft picks to add that one player to push us over the top. Even an organization as stubborn as the Flames can't bury they heads in the sand forever, and may finally have to admit that the current approach has failed. The new coach has failed to make an impact and Feasters tinkering over the summer have left the roster completely unbalanced. The Flames continue to refuse to play sixty minutes, they continue to lack heart, grit and effective leadership. As much as I hate to see the Flames lose, losing is the last chance we have to see any meaningful changes. I'll accept it short term, in the hope of brighter things to come.
March 22 2013, 10:07AM
I hate the fact that I feel guilty for cheering them on. I hate the fact that there's a part of me that wants them to lose. I hate the fact that this management team needs to be hit over the head with a 2x4 before it sees that this team is garbage. Maybe skill wise it isn't as bad as it's record (MAYBE)..but their 'give a f*ck' o'meter is on absolute zero.
The reason we are so conflicted is the soultion is not a hockey solution (bring in pieces and work harder). It is a management solution (we need a long term plan to compete with the Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston and LAs of the world). How can we root against Scoreface, or Hudler or Kipper. We can't. What we really want is for management to show 'intellectual honesty', without the lip service. Our wishes for the team to fail are so we can wave the results at Murray Edwards and Ken King to say 'you are wrong. Fix this'. Another way to get the message across is for fans to not show up. Since corporations buy most of the seats, an empty stadium means nothing. All bought and paid for for the whole season. So that won't get their attention. All that's left is ridicule by their peers. If the team loses enough, one of the cigar toting oil barons may call out King or Edwards at a Country Club event. That is what it will take to get these guys to act. Money or Peer Pressure. The money is free flowing so its down to peer pressure. If you know any Oil Barons, bend their ear. Maybe they can hurt King or Edwards feelings and we'll see some real plans. I feel like we are all hostages.

and the year before that, and the year before that and etc...
Our wishes for the team to fail are so we can wave the results at Murray Edwards and Ken King to say 'you are wrong. Fix this
4 Years of first round play-off exits followed by 3 years of no play-offs (#4 coming soon)has been our proof to said Mr. Edwards, Mr. King et al that they are wrong in their philosophy yet they choose to not listen to those that supply them financially.
Us oiler fans know alot about this. It's gonna get alot worst before it gets better.
When I've been reading through fan comments lately about wanting the team to fail, draft high, and start over, this one clip keeps coming back to my mind:
Through defeat comes ultimate victory. When in doubt, go with the wisdom of the Jedi.
It's frustrating when your team sucks, and I would never cheer for them to loose... but I have found new life in focusing on the the positives.. such as a high draft pick, and perhaps moving our crappy players. At this point of the season, I'm ok with loosing.
I find myself changing the channel after a period or two, or completely skipping games altogether for something more interesting.
This has not happened in quite a few years, and quite frankly, it is a bit liberating. It's like being released from the clutches of an addiction... I look back and wonder why it ever mattered so much, and am grateful for the freedom I am experiencing in it's place.
Yes, i still root for the flames and wont ever cheer for any other team, but I have definitely reached the place where every game DOESN'T matter, and find it strangely liberating, though a tad embarrassing for the silly level of fervor I've shown in the past.
March 22 2013, 10:42AM
Us oiler fans know alot about this. It's gonna get alot worst before it gets better.
I think the point we're trying to make (and one you've lived through) is that we're ok if it gets worse before better, as long as we see a plan, and some effort to change things for the better. Status quo blows goats.
March 22 2013, 10:47AM
news flash, feaster and company are merely edward's snake oil salesmen. winning isn't the goal, the illusion of winning puts dollars in the coffers.
no canadian team needs to worry about fans boycotting.
The fact that the team has done nothing since 2004 and yet refuses to change their stance has forced the fans into cheering/wishing (or simply not caring if they do happen), for losses.
No coherent game plan or overarching team philosophy makes it that much worse. The only constant in the Flames org is to 'win now' which is beyond laughable seeing as how they've only gotten past the first round once in 24 years.
Seriously, think about that. One time since 1989. But 'WIN NOW!' It's so utterly ridiculous. The org is a complete and utter joke.
A top 4 pick this summer is the ONLY thing worth cheering about.
March 22 2013, 10:54AM
This: "Calgary is currently a medicore team at best and with the trade deadline approaching each win seems a little more like a pyrrhic victory: success for the moment, but ultimately self-defeating."
Which means, that as a logical human who wants my team to do well in the long term and for the right reasons, I am cheering for them to lose, this season.
meh... if you're cheering for the Flames to lose because you can't trust Flames Management to make the right choices now, then how do you trust them to make the right choices after they are *forced* to do something different?
They will continue to make decisions you don't agree with and you'll still be pissed with the quality of the Flames output.

You gotta hang onto somethin'! And that starts with a change in the 'win now' philosophy.
If at some point they have to totally suck (as opposed to marginally suck, as usual) then it might as well be during this season. The pain won't last as long because of the late start, plus there's a loaded draft waiting at the end.
I think Stockley put it best in the Post-Game article comments, "Am I actually cheering against the Flames? I wouldn't go that far. I don't actually want them to lose. I just don't get upset anymore when they do."
I think the point we're trying to make (and one you've lived through) is that we're ok if it gets worse before better, as long as we see a plan, and some effort to change things for the better. Status quo blows goats.
Ya I think you guys need to change it up, but I get the sense that most people think this season will just be a blip on the radar. Trade iggy and kipper, draft high and bounce back into contention next year. I don't think it's that simple.
You gotta hang onto somethin'! And that starts with a change in the 'win now' philosophy.
I agree that change is required and it all starts with a managment philosophy.
I can only hope that mgmt changes their philosophy to align with what I'd like. If that doesn't happen, then I can only hope that someday managment is replaced and their replacement(s) embrace a philosophy that I can get behind.
Since I can't influence the change (at least in a significant way) then I just feel better about enjoying the wins when they come and while they last. It might be a very long time before the changes I want will actually happen, so I might as well enjoy the wins while I can.
In the meantime, I'll still bitch and grumble about how things should be done differently.
Here's a look at things from a different perspective.
If you're cheering for the team to lose so that *change* can occur, would you support Hartley if he suddenly coached his players to lose? A coach that actively makes decisions with the deliberate intent to lose games?
You'd be assured of getting your result sooner wouldn't you? Except that, the coach would be throwing the game, and that's not right.
If I think about it in those terms, then I get the exact same feeling if I cheer for the team to lose as if I were cheering for Hartley to throw the games.
It doesn't feel good either way.
I'd rather suffer the consequences (as ironic as that sounds) of the team winning, and the players all playing to their potential.
Although the Flames have had trouble staying above 0.50, for them to go 0.65 over the remaining 20 games is not impossible (this is what sportsclubstats says they need to do to have a >50% chance of making the playoffs). If you look at the standings, yes, Calgary is second last in the conference, but the bubble goes right to the basement this year.
So I say to those cheering for the Flames to lose, you're not out of the woods yet! Feaster could still decide to "go for it" and make some big veteran acquisitions.
Now, based on his moves to date, I think he's smart enough not to hamstring the team's long-term plans by buying geezers. For me, the big fear is that he's going to stand pat and not take advantage of an excellent seller's market.
March 22 2013, 12:19PM
Personally, I don't want to see the team intentionally tank, whether it be by coaching, GM fiat, trading of all the quality players, etc.
I want to see evidence of good processes throughout the organization at all times and from all levels, whatever happens on the ice. So I still want to see Hartley managing his bench in a rational manner, the GM targeting worthwhile players, etc. The team should always be looking to get better and play better.
That said, pragmatically speaking, the best thing that can happen for the long-term health of the club is the goaltending continues to stink and the Flames get a lotto pick out of it. That way, management is sufficiently motivated to stop pretending the Iginla era can go indefinitely, the team on the ice doesn't have to purposefully "throw" anything and the org gets a potential cornerstone future player for what is essentially half a year of below average netminding.
March 22 2013, 12:44PM

I cannot see them intentionally tanking, but they really don't have to, do they.
Keep Gio, Glencross, Backlund, Hudler, Stemp, Brodie, and the prospects. All other NHL players should be available if anyone comes calling with a nice return to offer. That's not to say that "everthing must go", just that we are open to offers. Iggy though, does need to go.
@Kent Wilson
Saying that "a lotto pick will improve the long term health of the team" is really just an assumption and a hope at best, that is… if you believe Feaster can't be trusted with the keys to the executive washroom, let alone the keys to the future of the team. In which case his lotto pick (and related player moves) is going to be a crap shoot at best.
To be fair, you've already advocated that the team just needs to stop building around a couple of "franchise" players (Iginla & Kipper). Which I assume, means that you haven't lost confidence in Feasters based on his other decisions. I personally don't think he's done an awful job either actually, and I think he will make a few more good decisions along the way.
A lotto pick is just a different path than they are on now, and different can be good, but there's no guarantee it will be better. If he's forced down that path, then perhaps Feaster will do something good.
In the meantime, I cheer, and wait, and hope.
PS: No coach with any integrity would ever purposefully try to lose. I could however, see a coach experiment with new plays and ideas with the hopes of learning something new, knowing that it won't jeopardize the team's aspirations.

No move is guaranteed to produce success, but given the supposed talent level of the top-5 to 10 prospects this summer, I think it's safe to assume a lottery pick will result in quality player no matter who is at the helm. Remember, even Tambellini managed to pick Hall, RNH, Yakupov, etc.
@Kent Wilson
True. And Feaster is nowhere near as bad as Tambellini in my opinion. So even though Tambellini has squandered his picks (and by squandered I mean not procuded a berth in the playoffs), I hope Feaster would do better. Tambellini is a good example of what "could" happen though. ;) lol

France and Samoa have made the biggest headlines during the end-of-year international window. On Saturday they face off in Paris.
France and Samoa have made the biggest headlines during the end-of-year international window. On Saturday they go head-to-head in Paris.
There are some high-profile clashes on the menu elsewhere this weekend but if you're looking for high-paced entertainment then you're more likely to find it at the Stade de France than at Twickenham.
Indeed, Samoa had everyone (who isn't Welsh) out of their seats last Friday while France's intentions to play with plenty of width against Argentina (in the first-half at least) suggested we're in for a cracker as les Bleus return to the French capital after their visit to Lille.
Complacency is unlikely to be an issue for the XV de France as the shock defeat to Tonga in the World Cup last year will still be fresh in the minds of many in the home side. All the noises coming out of the French headquarters have been very positive, so there is no question of the kind of internal discord that was at the root of that France's Jekyll and Hyde form during the Marc Lièvremeont era.
There should be no lack of motivation for the hosts either as victory will cement fourth place in the IRB rankings and ensure they are drawn as the top seeds in one of the four 2015 World Cup pools on December 3, avoiding one of the SANZAR heavyweights in the process.
But Philippe Saint-André will not be counting his chickens just yet. Samoa's win in Cardiff was no fluke. Victory over the Wallabies in Sydney last year and a mighty close game with the Springboks at the RWC should leave no doubt as to the islanders' ability to run with the big dogs.
The Samoan team is packed with quality players from 1 to 15, including a handful that ply their trade in France. Census Johnston, Ti'i Paulo and Joe Tekori have become star names in French domestic rugby and they will be able to provide valuable inside information on their club team-mates and others with whom they've crossed paths in the Top 14.
Johnston and Paulo join forces with Wasps prop Sakaria Taulafo to form a formidable front-row that is unlikely to get crunched the way the Wallabies were on their visit to St. Denis a fortnight ago.
It's clear from the comments coming out of the home camp they are not underestimating their opponents and are well aware of the danger – and that was the word used regularly – involved in Saturday's clash. Indeed, the physical onslaught dished out on Wales has not gone unnoticed.
Saint-André has resisted the temptation to experiment and rotation has been kept to a minimum. In fact, the three changes made to the French side have significantly bolstered the experience of the starting XV.
Considering past results and current form, France will start as favourites, but that will mean nothing to the visitors.
Players to watch:
For France: One of the most regular features of the French team in recent years, Morgan Parra has started the last two games on the bench. Back in the starting XV, the goal-kicking scrum-half will be out to prove he is France's best 9. Like Fred Michalak on his outside, Parra is not a big man and that inside channel could see some heavy traffic. Louis Picamoles has been one of the players of the month, not just for France but anywhere in Europe. Simply devastating with ball in hand, he'll also be tasked with stopping the big men off set-pieces.
For Samoa: Toulouse prop Census Johnston is regarded as one of the strongest tightheads in European club rugby. Up against one of the best scrummaging units in the world, his role will be crucial in laying a platform for Samoa's runners. Robert Lilomaiava scored four tries on his Test debut – on the wing – against Canada two weeks ago. He starts at full-back this weekend, and is set to get a much sterner examination of his international credentials.
Head-to-head: Clermont Auvergne team-mates Benjamin Kayser and Ti'i Paulo have been promoted to the starting line-ups of their respective sides and go head-to-head at hooker. Kayser is generally the better scrummager while Paulo is a real threat with ball in hand.
Previous results:
2009: France won 43-5 at Stade de France
1999: France won 39-22 in Apia
Prediction: Significantly, both Samoa's win over Wales and France's success against Argentina happened below closed roofs. With a wet surface expected in Paris, the packs and tactical kickers will play a bigger role. France are likely to have the edge in both departments and we cannot ignore the impressive scorelines of their previous two games. France by 12 points.
The teams:
France: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Wesley Fofana, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 Vincent Clerc, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 6 Yannick Nyanga, 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Pascal Papé (c), 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo
Replacements: 16 Dimitri Szarzewski, 17 Yannick Forestier, 18 Vincent Debaty, 19 Jocelino Suta, 20 Damien Chouly, 21 Maxime Machenaud, 22 Francois Trinh-Duc, 23 Yoann Huget.
Samoa: 15 Robert Lilomaiava, 14 Paul Perez, 13 George Pisi, 12 Johnny Leota, 11 David Lemi (capt), 10 Tusi Pisi, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Taiasina Tuifua, 7 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 6 Ofisa Treviranus, 5 Joe Tekori, 4 Filo Paulo, 3 Census Johnston, 2 Ti'i Paulo, 1 Sakaria Taulafo.
Replacements: 16 Ole Avei, 17 Villiamu Afatia, 18 James Johnston, 19 Faatiga Lemalu, 20 Tivaini Fomai, 21 Jeremy Su'a, 22 Ki Anufe, 23 Reupena Levasa.

Climate Change, Food Security, and Agrobiodiversity: Toward a Just, Resilient, and Sustainable Food System
Carmen G. Gonzalez
Seattle University School of Law
February 7, 2011
Fordham Environmental Law Review, Vol. 22, p. 493, 2011
Seattle University School of Law Research Paper No. 11-19
The global food system is in a state of profound crisis. Decades of misguided aid, trade and production policies have resulted in an unprecedented erosion of agrobiodiversity that renders the world's food supply vulnerable to catastrophic crop failure in the event of drought, heavy rains, and outbreaks of pests and disease. Climate change threatens to wreak additional havoc on food production by increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, depressing agricultural yields, reducing the productivity of the world's fisheries, and placing pressure on scarce water resources. Furthermore, the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis are occurring at a time of rising global food insecurity. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reports that the number of chronically undernourished people in the world reached a peak of 1.02 billion people in 2009 – a figure that represents one sixth of humanity.
This article examines the underlying causes of the crises in the global food system, and recommends specific measures that might be adopted to address the distinct but related problems of food insecurity, loss of agrobiodiversity, and climate change. The article concludes that the root cause of the crises confronting the global food system is corporate domination of the food supply and the systemic destruction of local food systems that are healthy, ecologically sustainable, and socially just. The article argues that small-scale sustainable agriculture has the potential to address the interrelated climate, food, and agrobiodiversity crises, and suggests specific measures that the international community might take through law and regulation to promote the transition to a more just, resilient, and sustainable food system.

Comments: I'd been happily wearing the Asics Gel 1170s, so I hoped that the GT-1000s would be similar or even better. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The shoes fit fairly well overall (although I would have liked some more room in the toe box). However, when walking or running, I noticed an awkward, rough transition from heel to toe instead of a smooth ride like most running shoes. There appears to be a little raised area on the bottom of the shoe at the back end. I did not keep these shoes. If the shoes were flat on the bottom, (like the Gel 1170s) I think they would feel smoother and more comfortable.
From: RL, USA
Comments: I agree with the other comments. I loved my other 2 pairs of Asics. The toe box is extremely tight - I have had the shoes for three months and can only wear them for short periods of time. I could never go on a casual walk in them. Very disappointed.
From: Sharon, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Comments: Very disappointed in these, way too tight in the toe area, have had nothing but sore squashed toes and also very slippery sole in the wet. Was hoping they would be as comfortable as previous asics, but they failed miserably.
From: Michelle, Victoria, Australia
Comments: I have to agree with Julie above. The toe box was too tight and through the arch. I didn't notice any problems with the instep height though. I have been wearing Asics exclusively for the past 7 years and these were supposed to be a replacement for the 1170 series. If this is how they fit I may need to change brands or styles. Disappointed.
From: Lisa, Maple Grove, MN, USA
Comments: After running in many pairs of Asics over the years, I felt fairly confident in the description offered for the GT 1000. Shoe was way too tight through the toe box and arch. The instep height is shallow and not ample for someone with a medium to high arch. Very sad because I really believed this one would be my go to shoe upon arrival.
From: Julie, Aurora, IL, USA
