Celebrity Miracle Babies Who Beat The Odds
We love watching our favorite celebs go through pregnancy and motherhood, but some famous moms had a life-threatening road to delivery. Check out our five favorite miracle babies and the strong mothers who delivered them.
Celebrity moms may have fame and fortune, but they're not exempt from life-threatening pregnancy and birth complications with their little bundles of joy.
In the weeks after Finn Davey's birth, Tori Spelling revealed that her littlest bundle of joy almost didn't make it. She suffered from placenta previa — where the placenta grows in the lowest part of the uterus and causes excessive bleeding — and feared she would miscarry.
"The first bleed happened at eight weeks… I looked down and saw blood. My heart dropped. I started screaming for [my husband] Dean [McDermott] and told him, 'I just had a miscarriage.' But the next day I went to the hospital and the doctor said everything was fine." she told Us Weekly. "When I first heard his cry and Dean looked over at me and said, 'We have our Finn!" I was overjoyed."
Giuliana Rancic and husband Bill Rancic also had a long road to deliver their baby Edward Duke. After years of failed fertility treatments — and a miscarriage — Giuliana discovered she had breast cancer, and had to put her pregnancy plans on pause.
Fortunately, they were able to deliver a healthy baby boy via gestational surrogate on Aug. 29!
"This was the best year of my life because of the baby and it was the worst year of my life because of the breast cancer," Giuliana told Savannah Guthrie on the Today show on Sept. 19. "But it just goes to show that if you're strong and you're positive, great things can come out of the darkest time in your life."
Rosie Pope also struggled to conceive her daughter Vivienne Madison, and feared she would never be able to have another baby. However, her miracle arrived just in time for Mother's Day! Vivienne was born on May 13.
What do YOU think of these miracle babies and their celebrity moms HollyMoms?

In a rapidly advancing technological age in which we have invented glowing plants, machines that print food, and computer interfaces from the future, one would think that businesses everywhere would be using video conferencing as often as they use a copy machine.
But they haven't.
Oddly enough, people are reluctant about the technology. In his many years of telecommuting, one worker observed how rare video conferencing had been used, and he lamented how much more efficient and human his work experience could have been if businesses were more open to video conferencing. He also noted that 2012 saw 27 million simultaneous video conferencing sessions on Skype between personal, non-business users. The business world, he felt, is far behind the rest of society.
A part of the problem is the proliferation of myths about video conferencing. The following tall tales about the technology need to be busted in the business community:
1. Videoconferencing is so complex that only a business with an IT staff can manage it.
That might have been true years ago, but not anymore. Recent products have consolidated tasks and features into all-in-one systems that are intuitive, user-friendly and do not require a genius to operate or set up. The technology continues to advance, and every year brings a new wave of products that become easier to manage. Some of the best all-in-one systems are the HDTV products that combine everything -- including the computer technology -- into one thin, portable HDTV.
2. Videoconferencing costs too much.
The price gets lower every year. Companies can find high-quality products that will outfit a room with video conferencing for less than a grand. In addition, third-party companies can host your telepresence for an affordable price, which eliminates the need to purchase expensive in-house assets such as servers.
3. The new equipment has to match the company's old video equipment.
Companies who build conference technology understand that clients don't want to spend loads of money replacing everything from the ground up if they don't have to. That's why most newer video conferencing systems are designed to fit right into older video components that might already exist in your board room.
With each new year of advancement in conferencing technology, there are fewer excuses to not move more communications into the video conferencing arena. The value of real-time face-to-face connections will quickly become apparent, especially after you see how affordable and manageable the technology has become.
Learn more about our pricing for hosted telepresence. If your company is new to using this technology, start by enabling a select group of users at your organization. If successful, they will become an invaluable resource to you when introducing the technology to the whole company.

The one coming out smelling like shit is the Chief Measurer, rather than the IJ decision. The MC rendered an interpretation at Telefornicator's request before the start of leg 4 which imo did not conflict with the clarification interpretation upon which the protest was lodged (contrary to the IJ decision). Imo, the only thing the CM can be accused of is in not volunteering the obvious NOR position that any additional storm jib or HWJs will not be counted in the storm jibs quota but in the headsails quota.
The IJ's claim that Tele was "reasonableto believe her sail inventory on leg 4 was in compliance" after the MC's reply in Sanya is BS. I don't accept that it was the CM's obligation to inform Telefornicator that the extra storm jibs will count as headsails for the purposes of the permitted number of sails: he was not specifically asked, nor should he have been. NOR 5.2.2 is quite specific:
5.2.2 In addition to the sails required to be on board in NOR 5.2.1(a) a Boat may carry on
board sails to a maximum of:
(a) 1 Mainsail
[b]2 Headsails (which may include additional HWJ's and storm jibs)
Telefonica raced leg 4 with more headsails than they were legally entitled to. The Chief Measurer did not need to issue a "clarification interpretation" at all on 5.2.2: every other team clearly understood NOR 5.2.2b and complied with it.
The IJ fucked up: the protest should have been upheld.
Noting that in the NOR, Headsail is effectivelty defined as a headsail other than the required storm jib and heavy weather jib. This changes the ISAF definition of headsail.
Do you know for certain that telefonica had 5 headsails (in the ISAF generic definition) on board - 1 required storm jib + 1 required heavy weather jib + a second storm jib + 2 Headsails? The facts found indicate that they sailed with 2 storm jibs and 2 headsails. However, when an additional storm jib is carried it is measured in as a Headsail, and so counts as one of the 2 Headsails, by definition. By definition thererfore, i read the facts found as describing a double counting of the additional storm jib, once as one of the two storm jibs, and once as one of the two Headsails. There is no indication in the facts found that they sailed with extra sails, and the fact that they had a sign-off at either end of the leg confirms that they were in compliance. In fact, the interpretation on 16 March was to clarify the "may include additional ... storm jibs." in NOR 5.2.2("which probably should have been drafted as "additional storm jibs and heavy weather jibs shall be counted as headsails", may being ambiguous.
If you know for certain that they carried 5 headsails (as indicated above) and can cite the documentation (likely the sail inventory manifest provided to the Chief Measurer or the report of the Chief Measurer at the start and finish of the leg) then that would be very much appreciated. Otherwise, the facts stand that Telefonica sailed with 10 sails as noted and your opinion ignores the facts.
Hear hear.
Of course anyone can quote 1 clause and see the world in black and white, but it's the combination of clauses that's the problem.
I don't doubt that the black and white view is the one the rule writers had in mind when they wrote the rules but they didn't quite get it right and so what they have written is grey.
Telefonica chose to read it one way; apparently 5 other boats chose to read it another.
I also wonder whether it really was advantageous on leg 4.
We'd need to see a sail log to know for sure, both in terms of the use of the actual sail in question but also in terms of the sail they didn't carry compared to the other 5 boats.

Whew, finally finished another Cream for Vim release. I never realized how much effort was involved in a Windows one-click installer. Also looking forward to learning RPM so we can release proper packages in the future rather than just tarballs. I've gained a new respect and will have more appreciation (and caution!) when I use someone elses.
Hopefully Vim 6.2 will be released soon. It's always nice to have an official release level to point folks to rather than trying to explain why patching would solve a particular problem.
I (still) hope to get a new hard drive soon, so I can get on with installation of the GNOME 2. My Red Hat 7.2 is starting to get a little worn, and a clean install to a new hdd with RH9 will be a refreshing change.
Now that Cream is settling down a bit, it may give me a little time to explore PythonCAD, and to learn Python. This seems a bit overwhelming at the moment, but I hope in a year to be as emboiled in that effort as I am now in Vim.

Eats, warm weather are hits at 35th Cowboy Breakfast
Updated 11:10 pm, Friday, January 25, 2013
Once again, San Antonians set their alarms for the annual Cowboy Breakfast, now in its 35th year.
As usual, the crowd was in the tens of thousands, with some estimates as high as 55,000.
Early risers lined up outside Cowboys Dancehall well before the 4:30 a.m. official start time. Lines leading to the tents where volunteers served Texas breakfast staples such as egg tacos and biscuits and gravy, were more than 350 people long, with wait times exceeding 30 minutes.
"It better be worth the wait," said Mark Brown, 21, adding that he'd been in line for "about 30 or 40" minutes.
Nevertheless, Brown said he was enjoying the predawn kickoff to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo season.
"It's a good atmosphere," Brown said. "There are a lot of friendly people."
Even though the lines were long, many at the breakfast had something to smile about.
"We've got unbelievable weather," event chairman Chuck Christian said.
Valerie Gonzalez echoed his sentiment. She owns Delicious Tamales, which provided about 50,000 tamales for the breakfast.
"The weather is beautiful. It's always been cold and rainy," said Gonzalez, who's been making tamales for the Cowboy Breakfast the past five years.
By the time the sun came up about 7:15, it was overcast, but in the mid-60s. Many in the crowd wore shorts and tank tops with their cowboy boots.
Under a tent emblazoned with the golden arches, McDonald's employees handed out cups of hot coffee.
Pedro Carrazana, a franchiser and president of the Greater San Antonio McDonald's Owners Association, said he expected 15,000 cups to be handed out. That's typical of previous years, but this year's weather was far from typical.
"It's the fact that I'm here talking to you and my teeth are not chattering," Carrazana said. "The weather is absolutely beautiful."
Apparently, some cowboys drink beer with their breakfast. When Cowboys Dance Hall let people inside at 6 a.m., the brew was flowing.
Asked how Cowboys was able to serve alcohol before the state-mandated opening time of 7 a.m., Bexar County Constable Ray Beveren said: "That's up to" the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
Inside, patrons two-stepped on the dance floor, while others lined up at the bars and gathered around tables to chat over bottles of beer and mixed drinks.
"Gotta love it!" said Roman Deluna, raising a bottle of Bud Light. "You gotta start sometime."
Sitting with Deluna was Jose Hinojosa, who explained: "This is Texas."
Blanca Vasquez, who was waiting in line at a bar, figured that morning drinking is fine as long as it's infrequent.
"If it's once a year, it's OK," Vasquez said.
Karen Reyes, a friend waiting with her, agreed.
"For a special occasion," Reyes said.

St. John's city council meeting.
A St. John's chef says he's not aware of any parking problems around his Quidi Vidi restaurant — and he wishes a city councillor had spoken to him before raising the issue at Monday's meeting.
Ward 2 Coun. Jonathan Galgay said Monday at city council's regular meeting that the previous administration displayed "poor judgment" when it allowed Mallard Cottage to open with just two parking spaces, fewer than a restaurant of its size would normally require.
"This issue now has escalated into patrons of the Mallard Cottage parking in private, residential driveways, leaving them there for up to 24 hours at a time," he said. "It's restricting the public from accessing the Quidi Vidi Village plantation. It's having an impact on other businesses in the area."
Galgay, who said he's meeting today with Quidi Vidi residents, said they're being "verbally abused" and that the RNC has been involved.
"The previous council exercised poor judgment, in my personal opinion," said Galgay.
Many of those who were members of the previous council bristled at Galgay's accusation.
"I'll give you a fight on that," said Mayor Dennis O'Keefe.
Coun. Tom Hann said council at the time allowed the parking exemption to save a historic building that was being restored by the proprietors.
"I resent the intimation that the previous council made a mistake," he said. "If we hadn't made that decision, nobody knows what would happen to the future of one of the oldest buildings in the province."
Mallard Cottage owner and head chef Todd Perrin said Monday night he hasn't heard of residents having a problem with his customers.
"We haven't had any significant conversations with any of the local residents about parking issues," said Perrin.
He added that the owner of a pub across from Mallard Cottage has spoken to him a couple of times about restaurant patrons parking in the pub parking lot, but other than that he hasn't heard of any residents having problems, and he wishes Galgay had spoken to him before bringing it up at the meeting.
"He didn't say anything to us. I haven't spoken to Coun. Galgay about this at all, so it was a bit of a surprise to me to hear that it was being bandied about in council chambers without him speaking to us about it, at least to get our take on the situation, just as you're doing," said Perrin, who pointed out he's not just the owner of a business in Quidi Vidi Village, but a resident as well. "I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in that. We've tried to do what we can to mitigate the parking situation down there. We don't have a parking lot, and frankly I'm a believer that the last thing that Quidi Vidi Village needs is a big parking lot down in the middle of it.
Deputy Mayor Ron Ellsworth said the priority should be to determine if there is a problem with parking — and if so, how extensive it is — and not point fingers at previous administrations.
Coun. Danny Breen suggested city staff study the area.
O'Keefe told The Telegram Galgay should have checked with city staff about the problem before criticizing the previous council.
"If there is an issue revolving around parking, what we need to do first is find out, one, if there is a serious issue; two, if there is, how extensive is it; and three, once we know that, then we can deal with it sensibly and properly."

Lighter than Air

This blimp is a common sight at professional football games and other outdoor events. A blimp is a type of lighter-than-air flying machine. It floats on air like a boat floats on water. Most blimps, including this one, are used for advertising.
The Back Story
- Blimps aren't the only type of lighter-than-air flying machines. Another type is the airship, sometimes called a zeppelin. Blimps are like big balloons with no internal structure. Airships, on the other hand, have a lightweight internal frame that makes them rigid even when they aren't filled with gas.
- Both blimps and airships rise up into the air because they are filled with helium, a noble gas that is less dense than air. The helium gives the aircraft buoyancy in the air, just as a floating ship has buoyancy in the water.
- Both blimps and airships also have engines, but they are used just to move the aircraft forward. They are not used to lift the aircraft off the ground or keep it up in the air.
- You can see what it's like to ride in an airship by watching this video: http://www.exploratorium.edu/tv/index.php?project=104&program=1361&type=clip

Can You Apply It?
Learn more about airships and blimps at the link below. Then answer the following questions.
- Why do rigid airships have to be above a certain size in order to rise off the ground?
- What is buoyancy? How does it apply to blimps and airships?
- What is Archimedes' Law (Principle)? How does it apply to blimps and airships?
- Lighter-than-air craft now use helium for lift. In the past, they used hydrogen. Contrast the lifting force and availability of hydrogen and helium. Why is helium used instead of hydrogen for blimps and airships?

Pdub and Jefka - Congratulations dudes!
Linux Australia -
STATUS: MOVING FORWARD- things are happening (FTA, Media Training) overall, Treasury slowly appears to be coming together (although I spend too much time in spinlocks waiting on others presently)
Debian - The local reaction to the recent Debian GR has been interesting, mostly, Death of Debian, News at 11. At work, the largest common fear is that the GR will basically result in an even more out of date stable release and we'll have to migrate to a different platform for our various servers for up to date software with the features needed for the various systems that we support (for example, later versions of php)
With the usual synchronicity of my life things at work have highlighted the link between strategy, policy and implementation with each needing to support the other to make effective progress. The GR and AJ's subsequent post highlights the schisms between all three in the Debian project. GNOME seems to have tackled this (taking examples) with an organised release schedule (Strategy), freezes (Policy) and documented release planning and bug days (Implementation).
Of course, things are much easier for a desktop environment than a software distribution ... okay, now taking a step back and looking at Debian. Release is determined by the number of bugs (specifically release critical bugs, but the number of other bugs has impact too) in the "stable" set of packages (with the number of packages growing at an ever increasing rate). The disconnect here lies in the criteria for a release and how a package is chosen to be pushed into the release with the DFSG and number of bugs being absolute criteria for that; I don't think it's being viewed as a process from the creation of a package through to DFSG compliant bug free goodness with the community being able to take snapshots along the way.
On a related note, another observation that I noticed being made about the GR and recent election of the DPL was the low percantage of Debian Developers that voted. The Debian Project reveals it's American heritage here with non-compulsory voting (this is being written from an Australian point-of-view), developers are not meant to be uncontactable by email and are meant to be active, so why can they opt out of voting on things such as GRs that affect the whole project?
Governance - have being thinking about this in relation to the half dozen committees that I have been on and other projects that I have observed, why is it so hard to get it right?
shiny new work desktop - 2.8Ghz goodness, hopefully, I'll get the opportunity to actually getting around to doing some dev work on it before it becomes hopelessly slow :)
Barriers to entry... - It's good to see the Evolution guys giving ways for people to help out their project; however it's not the itch for me ... I wonder what ways there are for us with low attention spans to help out projects.

Someone in the costume masquerade competition dressed as Van Helsing and using all his weapons to fight Dracula and his brides even suddenly pulled out an MR F/X Skywalker blade on stage to use to defeat the Vampires once and for all! (after a crossbow, regular sword, and holy water didn't work).
You couldn't walk down ANY hallway or isle in Comic Con and not spot a lightsaber or hear MR's authentic power-up / power off F/X sounds. I've been reporting and carrying my notebook and camera and have been going through withdrawals wanting my lightsabers which I've left at home so far so I'd not have too much to carry (let alone I'm not fond of the idea of putting them down anywhere if I have to use the bathroom). But I've so much wanted to carry my blade and get into some duels with whomever I can.
I am also just amazed at how rapidly this company has become a major fashion-fad or something. I'm not sure what else to call it - but I saw Lt. Uhura (Star Trek) with a Vader saber tonight, I've seen Batman using one...they're everywhere.
Remember when friendship bracelets took off? I think the early 2000's are going to be marked by carrying lightsabers around or something - especially to fantasy sci-fi movies and conventions, let alone we'll see more than a fair share of them on Halloween.
Anyway, it's just everywhere and at Comic Con, it was like prior to every presentation they had the cell phone courtesy and lightsaber courtesy announcement.
As other companies are replacing the leaders with the Star Wars license, Master Replicas is quick becoming the one at the top.

2012 Friday Flashback
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 12:00 PM MDT | By Ash_735
If there is one thing the earlier GTA games are known for, it's having in-house music for their in-game Radio Stations, and GTA2 was one of those games, so this weeks Friday Flashback looks back on one of the more pop style tracks created for the game, "Vegas Road" by Conor & Jay. Now, most veteran GTA fans will recognize that name for good reason as it is the same Conor & Jay who later had tracks on Head Radio in both Grand Theft Auto III and Liberty City Stories, these two people have actually worked on Grand Theft Auto since the start providing vocals and other instrumentals for various things such as commercials and idents, etc. If you're interested, Connor & Jay also have an Official Website where you can download this track (along with "Change" and "Train") as an MP3 file.

Caching data is something you use in almost every JEE project. Most of the time it's pretty simple : put your data in a .properties file and use a PropertyManager to fetch the data.
But that's not very flexible and manageable. Updating the values means, updating your property file, repackaging the ear file, and redeploying, and only developers can update the data.
Putting the data in JNDI entries, and using JNDI lookups may solve the problem of redeploying, but if you got a few 100 properties, it's still not very manageable.
Most of the times, JNDI entries are entered via some application server console which, in a production environment, is not accessible for your users who need to manage this data.
So lets put the data that needs to be cached in a database, or make it accessible via a web service. That would be ideal. You can write your own application on it, and have the data managed by your users.
But that means that you have to write your own, thread safe, caching algorithms.
No big deal if the data only changes once every 10 years, but refreshing it on a time or size basis, makes the whole thing a bit more complicated. And that's where the great LoadingCache class from the Google Guava library comes in.
What are the Guave libraries ? Well, here's how they describe it : 'The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth.'
Now for caching, the Guava LoadingCache class caches data in a key-object map, and lets you define a cache refreshing mechanism, all done in a thread safe manner.
So lets show a small example and explain how it works. Suppose your cache contains a list of products that are on sale for 1 day. Depending on the no. of sold products, the price will increase during that day. This means that the cache should be updated every few seconds, to update the price, and after 1 day, the whole cache should be refreshed with new products. Suppose that price setting and product selections are in the database, updated by some back-end application, and we need the new data in our frontend application and we want to cache it.
All this can be done with this simple class :
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import javax.ejb.EJB; import javax.ejb.Singleton; import be.iadvise.dao.DatabaseDAO; import be.iadvise.entities.Product; import com.google.common.base.Optional; import com.google.common.cache.CacheBuilder; import com.google.common.cache.CacheLoader; import com.google.common.cache.LoadingCache; import com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors; @Singleton public class ProductCache { @EJB DatabaseDAO databaseDAO; private static final Integer REFRESH_PRODUCT_AFTER_5_SECONDS = 5; private static final Integer EXPIRE_PRODUCT_AFTER_1_DAY = 1; private final LoadingCache<String, Optional<Product>> cache; public ProductCache() { cache = CacheBuilder.newBuilder() .expireAfterWrite(EXPIRE_PRODUCT_AFTER_1_DAY, TimeUnit.DAYS) .refreshAfterWrite(REFRESH_PRODUCT_AFTER_5_SECONDS, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .build( new CacheLoader<String, Optional<Product>>() { @Override public Optional<Product> load( String productId ) throws Exception { return loadCache(productId); } } ); } public Optional<Product> getEntry( String productId ) { return cache.getUnchecked( productId ); } private Optional<Product> loadCache(String productId) { Product product = databaseDAO.getProduct(productId); return Optional.fromNullable(product); } }
- In the constructor, we build the cache using the CacheLoader, defining the refresh mechanism. In our example we define 2 rules :
– expireAfterWrite : after this period, the object will be evicted from the cache, and replaced the next time it is requested.
– refreshAfterWrite : after this period, the object will be refreshed using the loadCache method. (with our new price)
- getEntry(String productId) method : will return the object with given key. So in this example, the cache is not loaded all at once, but only when the object is needed.
- loadCache(String productId) : will load the product and add it to the cache, or replace it if it's already there and needs to be refreshed.
That's all there is to it !
A few other remarks on the code
- There are other mechanism like expire/refresh AfterRead, which will time only from the last read, or let the cache hold only a certain no. of objects,…
- This code is implemented as a session bean. To make a singleton, I'm using EJB 3 annotation @Singleton. Because I only want 1 cache in my application
- My DAO is also injected using the @EJB annotation
- The LoadingCache does not want any null objects in the map (returns an error), so I'm using the Guava 'Optional' class here. This is basically a wrapper for my object and used to check if there is a value for my product id or not. So if someone uses a wrong productId, my cache will indicate that there is no product for this id, and I don't have to go to the database every time it is requested.
To conclude:
Programming a caching mechanism in a JEE environment is not as trivial as it may seem. Testing it in a multithreaded environment is even more difficult. The caching classes of Guave gives you ready-to-use solution. It's programmed, tested and used by Google, so I think we can say in all honesty : this is proven technology.
A remark on deploying on Weblogic 12c:
Weblogic also uses the Guava libraries, but an older version. This causes following error on deployment :
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.sameThreadExecutor()
Adding the following to your weblogic-application.xml will solve the problem (force weblogic to use your deployed Guava libraries :
Guava libraries run under Apache license, more info/download can be found on :
Have fun !

Probably the most common disorder seen in intact female dogs, pyometra is a serious and life threatening infection of the uterus. Due to hormonal and uterine changes that occur in the older dog, an infection starts in the uterus and can lead to death due to sepsis or organ failure if not treated properly. (see cystic endometrial hyperplasia) It is possible in a very few spayed dogs for a small piece of uterus, usually left during spaying, to become infected.
The symptoms are most common in dogs over 5 years old unless the dog has been given hormones for a medical abortion and then any age dog can be affected. Usually 4-12 weeks after a heat has occurred, symptoms will begin. The symptoms observed outwardly, however, will depend on whether the cervix is open or closed.

At my dad's company picnic when I was maybe 5-6 years old, my ticket came up for the semi-grand prize, a ten-speed bike. Well, considering I wasn't even tall enough to touch the handlebars, I asked if I could trade. So I took the SW Land of the Jawas playset. Most considered it a stupid move; I did not. Still have all the non-cardboard parts to it.
Won a "free" (you guys are right, not really free, since postage was needed) He-Man figure from some chocolate company.
Came in first place in a youth street chalk drawing contest (drew Roger Rabbit, after having been disqualified the previous year for my Spiderman using my own chalk colors ) and won a local business gift certificate.
I won a couple raffles at my jobs (mugs, flower arrangements, shirts, gift certificates, books, etc.)
Fast foods contests (for "free" food, but never money).
Most I even got was $5 on a lottery ticket (not much luck on those).

Question - When I stack my dog
she throws one leg out to the side. I have had x-rays done and had it fully
checked out. The vet says it is her stubborn bulldog nature. How will this
affect her in the show ring?
Question - When I stack my dog she throws one leg out to the side. I have had x-rays done and had it fully checked out. The vet says it is her stubborn bulldog nature. How will this affect her in the show ring?
It definitely will hurt her chances of success. A judge can only judge what he sees, and it sounds like this 'leg problem' is not creating a pretty picture. Yes Bulldogs are very stubborn, BUT you can win the battle if you perservere. Repetition is the key. Just continually moving the leg to the proper place over and over and yes over again until your dog will hopefully give up trying to win the battle.
You're only asking your Bulldog to behave for you 3 minutes. The rest of the 24 hours I'm sure he/she is spoiled rotten like mine. It is not too much for you to ask for your to do this for you. So keep at it, my money's on you. But be very patient and never 'lose it' with the dog or they will have won.
How bad is it if a puppy is excused from his first show if he/she is not letting the judge examine him/her? When can a person feel that they can go back to shows again, especially if the dog has never shown shyness before?
As a judge, I make sure I am 'very ligh handed' with all puppies, especially the ones that the exhibitor tells me is their first time in the ring. No matter how much you practice with your puppy, unfortunately you cannot duplicate the atmosphere that goes with a dog show.
Practice matches are great fun and I encourage you to enter as many of them as you can, this will help your puppy. Also, play 'you be the judge' with your friends and get them to act as the judge and go over your dog. The more you do this, the more your puppy will become accustomed to a stranger touching it.
Don't get too upset over this. It is not unusual for a puppy to act this way the first time.
Another piece of advice I might add is to pick the brains of your friends in the breed. Before entering to a judge , try and find out if they are 'heavy handed' or 'light handed'. Believe me we have all had the bad experience of having a 'heavy handed' judge almost ruin a good prospect. They will be only too happy to pass this information along.
What are your feelings about bulldogs without black pigment around their eyes? We have been to shows where judges treat this lack of pigment as a fault and we don't find anything about it in the standard.
You are right, it is not listed as a 'fault' in the standard. When choosing a puppy I always like to see that the 'mascara' has filled in. Sometimes this takes a while and sometimes the black never encircles the complete eyelid.
In this case it's about perception. A dog having it's eyes outlined completely with the 'mascara', brings more attention to it's eyes and of course assuming the dog has excellent eyes, this is what the exhibitor wants. The mascara also draws attention to the eyes from the judge.
The opposite is true when the the dog is lacking in 'mascara'. It is rare to see a dog with no pigment at all, but especially in the puppy classes, it is common to see eyes at different stages of pigmentation.
Judges are only human and judging is very subjective. Always keep this in mind. I think you will find that most judges prefer to see the 'mascara' completely circle the eye rim. Don't give up on your dog though, it normally just takes time for this to happen.
I have a question regarding my show puppy that I have been showing for two months. She is 9 months old now, has great bone and a fabulous head. My question is about her size. She weighs 58 pounds.
She comes from a reputable breeder that has turned out many champions, and my breeder says that her size is fine.I would love to have your guidance. Thank you so much in advance.
Weight is always an issue in our breed. The standard says 'mature bitches' should be ABOUT 40 pds. As in many standards, this was written over 100 years ago when Bulldogs looked a lot different than today and had other purposes besides being couch potatoes.
I think if we are honest we realize that the days of the 50 pd male and the 40 pd bitch are long gone. It's just a fact we have to accept. Although there are still dogs out there in this weight, they are few and far between.
Unfortunately, the smaller dogs (the ones closer the standard) don't seem to do as well in the ring. When a judge (all rounder) looks at a large class and sees 10 dogs over 70 pds and one at 50 pds , the judge must be very knowledgeable in the breed to know NOT to penalize the 50 pd dog. In fact this dog should be rewarded.
Back to your question. To me a 58 pd bitch is on the large side. I would not disagree however with your breeder that she can be very competitive at this weight. It is very hard for any of us to produce 40 pd bitches anymore. We have had a couple of 45 pd bitches that have been great producers, but I can honestly say I don't think we ever had a 40 pounder.
Bitches are meant to be feminine. The larger they are the more they begin to look like males. This is a real 'no no'. A judge should be able to look at a dog and bitch from across the ring and tell which is of which sex. When he can't do this, something is wrong.
I'm sure your girl will look very feminine up against the 70-80 pd males but what about when she is beside a 60 pd male (quite common up here in Canada).
'Doggy' bitches can do very well in the ring as has been proven in the past. Especially with all breed judges. This does not mean that this is 'correct'. A bitch should always look feminine, a male always masculine.
Is it to late in life to start a show career for a 8 year old bulldog?
I would strongly suggest you don't do it although the rules say you can. Why not just get a new puppy and have some fun. Leave your bully on the couch to watch TV with you and love him every day.

This is now the third recording with which I continue my journey into the world of Rossini's later works. Here we have a Rossini who clearly enjoyed the closing years of his life, in his beloved Paris, which once again allowed him free rein for his brilliant creativity. One of the results of this freedom was an abundance of mostly shorter character pieces, which he jokingly referred to as "Pchs de Vieillesse", or "Sins of old age". These works are typified by their great diversity, and they are the expressions of an exceptional talent who had broken free of musical dogma: ironic, meditative, personal, and unafraid of disapproval or self-deprecation. All of these things can be heard in the works on this CD. For example, irony can immediately be seen in titles like "Valse Torture" (tortured waltz) or "chantillon de Blague Mlodique sur let noires de la main droite" (A sample of melodic nonsense on the black keys for the right hand). This unusual brand of humor is even more clearly marked in "Petit Caprice (Style Offenbach)" where Rossini targets the operettas of Offenbach which were so successful at the time, nor does he spare the pianist, giving the climaxes an almost absurd virtuosity with his use of difficult octave glissandi. The irony is even less restrained in "Des Tritons s'il vous Plat" (Some tritones please), a harmony exercise in disguise which immediately recalls the warming-up exercises of singers. But Rossini shows us a very different face in works like "chantillon du Chant de Nol l'italienne", intimate and meditative, a distant evocation of an Italian Christmas carol, or "Marche et Reminiscences pour mon dernier Voyage" (March and Reminiscences for my last journey).

Paolo Giacometti was born in Milan in 1970 and came with his parents to the Netherlands the next year. When he was nine years old he started piano lessons at the Music School in Hilversum with Joke Dekker-Vroons. He continued his studies with Jan Wijn at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory, where he was admitted directly to the Performance Musician Program. He graduated with honors in 1995. Paolo Giacometti has followed a number of Masterclasses with such eminent pianists and teachers as Gyrgy Sebk, Karl-Heinz Kmmerling, Marie Franoise Bucquet, Lazar Berman, John Perry and Detlef Kraus. He has successfully participated in various National and International Piano Competitions. In 1987 he was awarded First Prize at the Steinway Competition in The Netherlands qualifying thereby to take part in the International Steinway Festival the following year as the representative of the Netherlands. This in turn lead to an invitation to participate in the German Parke-Davis Frderpreis in Germany in 1990, which he won. In 1992 he participated in the prestigious International Brahms Competition in Hamburg where he was awarded the Second Prize.

GigapanMagazine.org vol 3 issue 4
Inspired by friend and mentor, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Gwen Grant Mellon and her husband, Dr. Larimer Mellon opened Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti (HAS) in Deschapelles, Haiti in 1956. After 55 years, HAS Haiti is a perpetual swirl of activity: a fully integrated health system, devoted to prevention as well as cure.
Since 1956, the HAS courtyard has served as the central gathering place for patients, families and other visitors. It is the first glimpse of the Hospital as you come down the main driveway. Words on the outside of the hospital remind all of Dr. Schweitzer's philosophy: "Reverence pour la Vie," or "Reverence for life." The hospital remains committed to the philosophy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer as well as to the objectives of its founders: "To collaborate with the people of the Artibonite Valley, Haiti as they strive to improve their health and quality of life."

RFI is somewhat unique in that the managers ... those who will run the operation and make the business decisions ... are the trainers themselves. They are "dog people" who have extensive experience in running a business. As such, they can understand the how's and why's of things like minimizing the washout rate.
Being able to finish and place a high percentage of the dogs that start out the training program is a major factor in containing the final cost per dog.

This thread has been great! Thanks again to all that have posted, purchased raffle tickets, and contacted us directly. The raffle tickets on the boat will only be available for the next month, and the odds of winning are still better than 1:100 at this point if you purchase the deal for 5 tickets. Several personal emails have asked us about doing local fundraisers for Retrieving Freedom. What a great idea! I am putting some packages together with handouts, presentations, newsletters, etc. Feel free to contact us about these if you think that there might be some local interest in your area.
These local events could be put together many ways:
1. Local club training day that portion of entries go to Retrieving Freedom
2. 5k run to support RFI
3. Local raffle on a donated item or item that we can get for you Example: Yeti Cooler
4. Local papers running a story on RFI
5. Bake Sales
6. Poker run with local motor cycle clubs -- many veterans enjoy this
7. Larger event with dinner and auction
8. Looking for any other ideas as well
Again, thanks for the involvement in this thread. The longer we can have questions and responses the more awareness we can bring.

Also I have received several PM's that I can not reply to until I have made 10 posts, so please email me if you can.

Thursday October 18th, we are having a special event in Memphis, TN. We are blessed to have former Army Captain Luis Montalvan. He has written a New York Best Seller called "Until Tuesday" and will be speaking at a small fund raising event,. Luis will be at the Fire Museum on Adams Street. His book is incredible, easy to read, gives you an insight into what war is like, how he was injured, and how a dog named Tuesday pulled him back from the brink of suicide as a result of a traumatic brain injury and Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"A highly decorated Captain in the US Army, Luis Montalvan never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat however the pressures of his physical wounds, traumatic brain injuries, and crippling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder began to take their toll. Haunted by the war and in constant physical pain he soon found himself unable to climb a simple flight of stairs or face a bus ride to the VA hospital. He drank, he argued, he ultimately cut himself off from the ones he loved. Alienated and alone, unable to sleep or bend over without pain, he began to wonder if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday a beautiful and sensitive Golden Retriever trained to assist the disabled. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys blessing many lives. He could turn on lights, open doors, and sense the onset of anxiety and flashbacks. But because of a unique training situation and a sensitive nature he found it difficult to trust in or connect with human beings until Luis.
"Until Tuesday" is the story of how two wounded warriors had given so much and suffered the consequences and found salvation in each other. Is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, and psychological wounds and spiritual restoration? But more than that it is a story between a man and how they healed each other's souls."
Autographed copies of this book are available on our website. If you want to see a deeper insight into what the world is for a wounded veteran and the value of service dogs, this would be a good book. It is also available at most all book stores and it is soon to be a major motion picture. Anyone in the Memphis, TN area that would be interested in hearing Luis talk, we have seats available.

Here is the 2nd painting our good friend Dan Hatala has done for us. Our next fund raising event will focus on PTSD and we hope to have captured that theme in this painting. Prints will be available soon, let us know if your interested. All donations for these sponser prints will go to covering the production costs for service dogs for wounded Veterans and children with Autism.

After a couple bang-up out-of-state trips in easly April, I've been having a rough go of it here locally.
I took my youngest boy for the NY youth season, April 20 & 21. Cold, windy, & snowy, but the birds were gobbling well. We were into birds pretty much until noon both days, I called a nice gobbler into my son's lap, but he missed. A couple other close calls, but couldn't put it all together.
I hunted hard the first 5 days of the NY opener, May 1-5. Birds would gobble at dusk when we roosted, would gobble at sunrise, then clam up once they hit the ground. Never could figure out where they headed after that, they weren't hitting the fields like they usually do, but we had bluebird weather all 5 days.
Hunted state land here in PA the last couple Saturdays and yesterday. I have yet to hear a gobble or spot a bird (other than running across the highway) since May 5. The last couple outings I stuck it out from dawn to dusk, trying to get a feel for where the birds could be, and both trips were overcast, periods of drizzle & sunshine. The "honey hole" a buddy & I have had success with the last few years has never been very productive later in the season, but is a hotspot earlier in the year. I'm still trying to figure out what the reason is, I do think there isn't much in the way of food for them, mostly heavily logged power-lines and forest, the only type of growth is ferns & Beech trees, and some grass/clover on the power lines.
On a brighter note, I DID find a new spot yesterday that I'm already planning to scout extensively next spring....state planted food plots, blueberry bushes, and NUMEROUS dusting bowls & gobbler tracks . It was on my "one of these days" to hunt list, also doesn't appear to be heavily logged, and has a nice mix of apple, pine, oak, & maples.
Good luck and be safe to anyone who still plans to hunt the rest of this spring, I think I'm done until the fall, unless I decide to call in sick.

Shares of Nokia (NOK) are up 3 cents, or 0.9%, at $3.57, after HSBC's Richard Dineen reiterated an Underweight rating on the stock, but raised his price target on the ordinary shares traded in Helsinki (NOK1V) to €2.20 from €1.80, writing that average selling prices for Nokia's handset portfolio are starting to stabilize with the help of its smartphone models.
Nokia ordinary shares closed up 3 cents at €2.70.
Two years into Nokia's smartphone renovation, with the help of Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone operating system, but also Nokia's less expensive "Asha" line of smartphones, there seems little hope at the moment for a return to growth for the company, he thinks:
Nokia's Q1 2013 smartphone shipments of 6.1m
were down 35.2% y-o-y. The company sold 5.6m Lumia devices in the first quarter, up 27% q-o-q. Meanwhile Symbian smartphone sales continue to wind down with sales just 500,000 units in the first
quarter. According to research firm Gartner Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)] maintains strong market share leadership in smartphones, shipping 64.7m units (up 59% y-o-y) for 30.8% share in Q1 2013. Apple (AAPL) took second place selling 38.8m smartphones sold for 18.2% share, while Samsung's domestic rival LG was third selling 10m smartphone units for 4.8% global market share [...] Samsung is today the clear volume market leader in overall mobile devices with Q1 2013 market share of 23.6% according to research firm Gartner. Nokia has 14.8% with Apple commanding around 9% of shipments globally. Nokia's global unit share has fallen nearly 25% (or c5ppts) over the past year from 19.7% in Q1 2012 – and contrasting sharply with strong unit shipment increases by Samsung (+13%) and Apple (+16%) [...] For 2013 we forecast Nokia's mobile phone
market share to be 14.2%, down from 19% in 2012 with shipments of c266m units down 20.8% y-o-y. In smartphones, we expect expansion of the Lumia range to drive smartphone shipment growth of 1.6% y-o-y in 2013 (following a decline of 54.7% in 2012).
However, Dineen now sees a greater mix of Lumia and Asha now helping profit in the "Devices and Services" division that runs the handset business:
Despite a strong declining trend in non-smartphone ASP we expect only a slight 1% annual decline in Nokia's blended ASP to EUR46.3 in 2013 due to the offsetting benefit of higher-priced smartphones in the sales mix. We expect the portion of smartphones to continue rising from 13% of total shipments in 2013 to 27% in 2016. As a result of more smartphones in the mix, we expect the blended ASP to rise 6.5% in 2014 to EUR49.3. Driven by a 20.8% y-o-y decline in shipments and the aforementioned 1% decline in blended ASP
we forecast D&S segment revenues of EUR12.3bn in 2013, down 21.6% y-o-y. We forecast an adjusted operating margin of 0.5% for the D&S segment in 2013, an improvement versus the -4.5% margin recorded in 2012. We expect margins to improve further, forecasting 2.9% in 2014 driven by rising ASP and better profitability from a larger smartphone contribution. We expect the segment operating margin to reach 5.1% by 2017.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an official letter penned roughly two decades ago, Rep. Todd Akin used his office to defend a friend convicted of battery at an abortion protest.
The letter, provided to BuzzFeed by a Democratic source, offers a further glimpse into the anti-abortion community in St. Louis, of which Akin has been an active member for decades, as well as the role Akin has held within government as a voice on the movement's behalf.
On July 29, 1989, Teresa Frank pushed a woman to the ground during a protest at an abortion clinic in Granite City, Ill., across the Mississippi River from St. Louis County.
When Frank, then 41, was convicted of battery and criminal trespass, Akin, now the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri and then a state representative, came to her defense in a signed note printed on official state letterhead.
"I have known Teresa and her family for six years, and Teresa and her children for about three years," Akin wrote to Judge Robert Hennessey. "Teresa has visited with my wife on numerous occasions, and her children have also played with my own children throughout the past years."
"The mature and responsible behavior of her children, bear testimony of a devoted, gentle, and affectionate mother," Akin continued. "It was probably these very instincts that prompted her unfortunate morning in Granite City."
Akin himself was once arrested during an abortion protest in 1987, just one month before he was elected to the statehouse. He has since remained an active opponent of abortion, protesting at annual Life Chain events in St. Louis and speaking out on the campaign trail against abortion as well as emergency contraception for women who have been raped.
In his 1989 letter, however, Akin did not mention his own views on abortion, but instead focused on Frank.
"Teresa is a deeply sensitive and caring person; but along with this, she is also one very frightened little girl," Akin wrote.
Ultimately, Frank was fined $300 and put on probation for one year, according to court files furnished by the same source.

Hot packs are very effective as they dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, delivering needed nutrients and oxygen to cells in the area being heated, aiding the removal of cell waste and promoting healing.
Electric pads, hot water bottles, and gel packs or moist such as damp clay packs are the common hot agents used for hot therapy.

My papa is suffering from back pain from last 3 years. They have consulted with many doctors and all have given there own opinion. The pain occurs at very bottom of back bone. Tell me some home made remedies which could reduce pain. Or give some medical ways to reduce pain. thanks.
Sir I have pain in right ankle due to surgery in 2008, I am still continuing with this pain. Can you suggest any process Thanking U sir.
Spondylitis includes swelling of the vertebra. It happens because of wear and tear of the ligament and bones found in your cervical spine, which is in your neck. While it is to a great extent because of age, it can be brought on by other reasons too. Side effects incorporate pain and stiffness starting from the neck to the lower back. The spine's bones (vertebrae) get fused, bringing about an unbending spine. These changes might be mellow or extreme, and may prompt a stooped-over posture. Some of the non-surgical methods to treat spondylitis are as follows-
- Exercise based recovery/physiotherapy: Your specialist may send you to a physiotherapist for treatment. Non-intrusive treatment helps you extend your neck and shoulder muscles. This makes them more grounded and at last, relieves pain. You may neck traction, which includes using weights to build the space between the cervical joints and decreasing pressure on the cervical disc and nerve roots.
- Medications: Your specialist may prescribe you certain medicines if over-the-counter medications do not work. These include:
- Muscle relaxants, for example, cyclobenzaprine, to treat muscle fits
- Opiates, for example, hydrocodone, for pain relief
- Epileptic medications, for example, gabapentin, to ease pain created by nerve damage
- Steroid infusions, for example, prednisone, to decrease tissue irritation and diminish pain
- Home treatment: In case your condition is less severe, you can attempt a couple of things at home to treat it:
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, for example, acetaminophen or a calming medication, for example, Advil or Aleve.
- Use a warming cushion or an ice pack on your neck to give pain alleviation to sore muscles.
- Exercise routinely to help you recover quickly.
- Wear a delicate neck prop or neckline to get transitory help. In any case, you shouldn't wear a neck brace for temporary pain relief.
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a highly effective treatment used to mitigate back and neck pain. Little needles, about the extent of a human hair, are embedded into particular points on the back. Every needle might be whirled electrically or warmed to improve the impact of the treatment. Acupuncture works by prompting the body to deliver chemicals that decrease pain.
- Bed Rest: Severe instances of spondylitis may require bed rest for close to 1-3 days. Long-term bed rest is avoided as it puts the patient at danger for profound vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the legs).
- Support/brace use: Temporary bracing (1 week) may help get rid of the symptoms, however, long-term use is not encouraged. Supports worn for a long time weaken the spinal muscles and can increase pain if not continually worn. Exercise based recovery is more beneficial as it reinforces the muscles.
- Lifestyle: Losing weight and eating nutritious food with consistent workouts can help. Quitting smoking is essential healthy habits to help the spine function properly at any age. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a pain management specialist.
Ankylosing spondylitis patient treated by ayurvedic neuro therapy. After 10 sitting patient is 70% well. So I advice all neuromusculoskelatal disorder patient, go for ayurvedic neuro therapy. It will be a boon for you.

News & Reviews
"The Treasury of Knowledge excellently presents the entire corpus of the sutra and mantra traditions from the paths of the common sciences all the way up to the uncommon Great Perfection or Atiyoga, which is the culmination of the nine vehicles."—H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche
"Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Tayé was one of the leading scholars of the nineteenth century. He broke through sectarian constraints and achieved a deep understanding of the the different philosophical approaches in Tibet. I have no doubt that by studying Kongtrul's works readers will be inspired to emulate his great qualities of humility, dedication, patience, and nonsectarianism."—H.H. the Dalai Lama
"A rich, readable synthesis of Buddhist history by the legendary master Jamgön Kongtrül, who illuminates for 'those who have not studied much'—the people, ideas, and storied texts through which Buddhism is transmitted across cultures and generations. Ngawang Zangpo has rendered an outstanding translation of this in-depth, well-rounded, and accessible introduction to 2500 years and more of Buddhists' understandings of themselves."—Anne Carolyn Klein, author of Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse
"Ngawang Zangpo presents Buddhist enthusiasts—practitioners and scholars alike—with a cogent and masterful translation of important sections of the great nineteenth-century Tibetan Buddhist master Jamgön Kongtrül's encyclopedic Five Treasuries. His clear introduction and useful back matter lend important context to Kongtrul's massive work and explain why it is relevant for a wide range of readers interested in the Buddhist teachings."—Sarah Jacoby, Assistant Professor, Northwestern University Department of Religious Studies
"Lama Ngawang has once again brought to us in English key texts by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Tayé, the preeminent yogi scholar and co-founder of the ecumenical movement of nineteenth-century Tibet. Joyfully, this book expands our understanding of the dharma and its gifts passed from one master to the next, each one like beads of gold in a mala."—Lama Palden, Sukhasiddhi Foundation
"An authoritative and surprisingly accessible rendition of a classic core text of Tibetan Buddhism. The Treasury of Knowledge: Buddhism's Journey to Tibet deserves the highest recommendation for personal and library Buddhist Studies shelves."—Library Bookwatch

To get the royal blue velvet color, remember the toothpickful of violet paste food color; if forgotten, the cake will bake up turquoise in color.
Use paste food color to achieve the royal blue velvet color. If you use liquid or gel food color, your cake color will vary.
To make candy garnish, line cookie sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray. In 2-quart saucepan, stir together 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup water. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves; heat to boiling. Without stirring, heat to 300°F to 310°F, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat and stir in desired amount blue food color. Pour onto cookie sheet in random design. Let cool, and break into pieces. Garnish cake with candy pieces as desired.
