Canisius College head softball coach Mike Rappl announced today that Jessica Berzins (Placentia, Calif./Valencia) has signed her National Letter of Intent to join the Golden Griffin softball program for the 2013-14 academic year.
"Jessica is very quick and she has all the skills to be a top-level leadoff hitter for us in the future," Rappl said. "She is a great slapper and she can get down bunts and beat those out for hits. She can cover a lot of territory in the outfield and she comes to us with a good deal of high-level playing experience thanks to her summer league team that played against some very good competition."
The 5-foot-3 outfielder won four varsity letters playing softball at Valencia High School, where she helped lead the Tigers to a 21-9 record in 2011. She hit .354 that season as a junior with 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases, and closed out her career by earned all-league honors three times. She was also honored for her work in the classroom as a scholar-athlete and she was awarded three varsity letters as a member of the Valencia High girl's soccer program.
Berzins, who was a member of the Dean's List and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, plans on majoring in psychology at Canisius. She will join with four incoming freshmen on next year's roster, as Sarah Andrews, Taylor Decker, Samantha Sharkey and Lindsey Silfer all signed their NLIs to join the Canisius program during the NCAA's early signing period.Canisius closed out the 2013 season with a 22-25 overall record and a 6-10 mark in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play. The Griffs will return eight position players and three pitchers to next year's roster.

The Divided Heart
Refreshingly, these are stories of real parenthood - not excerpts from scripts for an election campaign or margarine ad. They portray it as a very personal and unpredictable achievement that can give rise to considerable ambivalence. ... But...this is a book for everyone who laments the daily juggling act...and does it all, anyway.
For all those whose life involves nappies and Nietzsche, sleeplessness and Cezanne, this is a must-read. And for everyone else: pick it up anyway, and explore the balancing act that is any life lived fully.

Ah, Damon, you're great. Many thanks. And congratulations on your own new literary achievement! So looking forward to reading your orphans, no doubt well-brought up and more than ready to take on a life of their own. How liberating for you! Looking forward to a few laughs with you and Catherine at Readings...

Thanks Rachel - I really enjoyed your book. I also read Jane Sullivan's review, which was nice.
Yes, my orphans are now on the shelves at Readings, clothed only in their 'special price' and 'signed by the author' stickers. I hope you enjoy Distraction.
See you at Readings on the 30th!

My last post in this series was about how I utilized Storify.com as a part of my marketing strategy for the Kickstarter campaign I am helping out on. Let me take a moment to explain a bit about Kickstarter, as some of you may not be sure what the big fuss is.
What is Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is, in a nutshell, one of the most popular fundraising sites out there in a new trend of crowd-funding. It's a sort of marketplace where capital is collected from interested parties, in support of creative projects and business endeavors. A user can search for projects that interest them and support a project financially at any level. Unlike traditional investing, you don't get any ownership over the project, but part of the model of Kickstarter is that different levels of contributions can qualify for different levels of awards, which are defined by the project owners. Each Kickstarter campaign must set a target amount and a target time at which to acquire this full amount from supporting members… If the target amount is not received by the deadline, then the Kickstarter isn't funded. That is, no one who contributed will end up paying. This assures that people only get funded as long as they will actually have the full amount they need to achieve their goals.
This model is responsible for much of Kickstarter's popularity. The competition aspect keeps followers engaged, and the more the campaign team embraces this notion of "racing towards the finish line" in a spirit of fun, the more enthusiastic supporters feel about joining along to help the project race against the clock for their fundraising. Because of the inclusive nature of running a Kickstarter campaign, it is perfectly suited for social media marketing.
Is Kickstarter something you should consider for funding your own project?
Something to keep in mind when asking yourself this question is that it is actually a lot of work to get money on Kickstarter. Not only do you have to spend the length of the campaign promoting the heck out of it on social media and other venues, but you also have to be ready to deliver the goods on any awards you offer at the end of it. Most people find Kickstarter campaigns exhausting. But, if you are ready to tackle the work and feel like your project is well-aligned with this method of fundraising, it may just be worth a try. After all, some people have tremendous success on Kickstarter and end up raising the funds they need to make a dream come true (and then there are those lucky souls who get way more than they ever dreamed possible).
Just make sure you're asking for something appropriate to this method of fundraising… Set very specific targets for things you will spend your money on, like materials, services, production processes, travel, equipment, or easy-to-define project phases (and don't expect to get people to pay your groceries and rent just so you can have time to make something). The more easily people can understand where your money is going, the more likely they are to trust you to be responsible with their gift.
And if you don't feel equipped to make regular social media updates, you might find Kickstarter is not the venue for you… Either consider other methods for fundraising, or add people to your team who are enthusiastic and consistent communicators on social media channels.
In my next post I will talk about the elements that I think make a Kickstarter campaign successful.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > CID Speaker Seminar: Redistributive Politics and Public Expenditures on Education in Latin America
Political economic theories of redistributive politics and democratization draw the same logical conclusion: democratic governments distribute more resources to the poor at the expense of the rich. Yet, neither of these theories can fully explain why the public provision of primary education –which benefits the poor- in Latin America, remains relatively low when compared to public expenditures on tertiary education –which benefits the middle and upper income groups. Without fully addressing this anomaly, we are left with an incomplete analysis that creates an environment for ill-informed policy decisions. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing the redistributive conflict over the provision of public education in Latin America. Making use of a formal model where society is divided in three groups –rich, middle income, and the poor- this research finds that the elite plays a decisive role in the distribution of resources for public education without necessarily capturing the political process. The elite benefit from a more-educated workforce, and prefers that the state absorb the cost of human capital investments. However, poor and middle-income groups favor redistribution that benefits their group the most, namely primary and tertiary education respectively, each at the cost of the other group. When the income of the elite depends more on a college-educated workforce, they will side with the middle-income group at the expense of the poor, entering into a self-sustaining cycle of under-investment in primary education.

"I am so happy with the quality, design, and colors of this announcement. I selected the upgraded paper option and it was just beautiful!"
"The baby brunch invite is very beautiful. The paper in thick card stock and the envenlopes are a very good quality. It was fairly easy to customize my order. I thought I had put in some wrong info. I e-mailed them, and they were able to fix it for me."
"This mug proved to be a perfect Father's Day gift for a proud new father. Designing the mug proved simple enough. Tiny Prints corrected an error I made, which I really appreciated. The pictures that I picked for the mug were perfectly placed, the color was very good, and the exposure was right on."
"I ordered these and used the suggestion of printing the name in white ink and their suggested font. However when I got them they are really hard to read the name. I wished I had used a darker or brighter color!"
"The design was modern/contemporary, which was chosen to compliment the shower card. This thank you card reminds the guests again of the distinct personality and the nod to details that the mother-to-be possesses. The mother-to-be chose not to have her name printed on the card since she wanted to personalize it with her own hand. The paper had a high quality weight that you find in high-end printing supplies."

The Canisius College men's soccer lost a 2-1 decision to host Fairfield on Saturday night. The loss marks the first for the Griffs in MAAC play this season as the team drops to 1-1-1 in conference play and 5-4-2 overall. The Stags improve to 4-3-2 and 1-1-1 against league foes.
Fairfield netted the first goal of the game in the 35th minute of play when Jon Clements scored on a penalty kick. The Stags then stretched their lead to two when Reco McLaren knocked in his own rebound in the 53rd minute.
Junior Pat Conlon responded for the Griffs with his first collegiate goal in the 58th minute. The junior collected a loose ball and knocked it in to pull Canisius within one, 2-1.
The Griffs, however, were unable to find the equalizer in the final 32-plus minutes. In a late charge toward goal, junior Asani Samuels fired a shot on net in the 88th minute but the Fairfield keeper got a hand on it and knocked out of bounds to preserve the 2-1 victory.
The Stags finished the game with a 16-10 advantage in shots and a 6-5 edge in corner kicks. Senior Ryan Arvin matched his career high with six saves for the Griffs, while Joe Martin stopped four shots for Fairfield.
The Griffs return home for a MAAC contest with Siena on Wednesday. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at the Demske Sports Complex.

Martin Douthitt left Kentucky early this morning in a quest to become the oldest American to ever summit Mt. Everest.
It's a long way from Jackson in Breathitt County to Katmandu, Nepal, but armed with Bluegrass music and a strong desire to climb his seventh of the world's seven tallest mountain peaks, Martin is confident he can make it.
It doesn't matter that a year ago he had both knees surgically replaced or that the trek to the top of Everest will take weeks of training and climbing at altitudes that reach more than 29,000 feet.
Douthitt told the Lexington Herald Leader's Jim Warren, "I think I'm ready." He'll make the final push on Mt. Everest in May.
Douthitt told the newspaper he's taking along 500 crossword puzzles, a Kindle loaded with adventure books and an MP3 player loaded with 1,000 songs. Bluegrass music will be with him when he reaches the top.
In 2007, when he was just 61, after climbing 5 of the world's tallest mountains, he stopped in for a conversation on "One to One" to talk about his impending trek up No. 6 (Mt. McKinley in Alaska) and his desire to climb all of "The Seven Summits."

I like Al's decoys because they have a generally darker coloration, which will really help them stand out if you're runnnig traffic, and they just look more like the color of a live bird as it is. They're light weight and set up and take down SUPER FAST, which can be a huge plus if you hunt solo or your group has to walk in a good sized spread. I can fit about 4 dozen of Al's silos in the HS silhouette bags so if I need to run a small spread or I'm hunting by myself, I can carry my blind, blind bag, gun and decoys usually in one trip with relative ease. If I think I maybe "need" to add some "bulk" to my silo spread, I will either bring a doz bag of GHG lessers to throw out or a couple dozen shell deeks to fill in. Give Al a ring or email him (contact info is on the web site) and ask him for a sample. He'll send you one for free. An EFFECTIVE product, made in the U.S., great cust. srvc and the owner is just a trully nice guy. What more could you ask for?

Wojciech Szczesny is entering his second season as Arsenal's No 1 - and his shirt now matches his status.
The summer departure of Manuel Almunia allowed the Poland international to claim the coveted No 1 jersey and, all being well, he will wear it in a competitive game for the first time when Arsenal kick off the campaign against Sunderland at Emirates Stadium on August 18.
Szczesny was the only Arsenal player to start every Premier League fixture last season but he knows he cannot rest on his laurels, despite inheriting the shirt he has wanted for a while.
"It's a big privilege for me to wear that shirt at such a big club," said Szczesny. "I just hope I can prove I am worthy of wearing it.
"I played my first full season last season and managed to play every single game. The manager has a lot of faith in me and I appreciate that. I'm just trying to do my best and show everyone I'm worthy of it.
"I'm looking forward to a very successful season but the competition is very tough. It's easy to say I'm the established No 1 because I played every single game last season but Lukasz [Fabianski] and Vito [Mannone] are doing their very best to challenge me and I feel the competition.
"There's no danger of being complacent. I've got the No 1 shirt and I want to prove to everyone I capable of wearing it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

At a hospital in Enugu, a large city in southern Nigeria, neighbors were confused about the extensive activity in the building late at night when supposedly most patients were asleep. People in the area wondered why there were no patients going in and out of the clinic during the day. Police finally conducted an investigation and discovered the clinic was actually a "factory" which was producing babies for sale. The doctor who ran the clinic offered free abortions to teenagers who were pregnant. The girls were locked up in a room after the baby was born and forced to sign over custody of the child to the clinic which then found someone who wanted to purchase a baby. The girls received about $150 but those purchasing the babies had to pay over $3,000.
Nigerian authorities have long suspected there was a baby selling operation in their nation, but the current situation became apparent when a woman was caught trying to take a baby to Lagos. Several of the girls who were trapped in the scheme reported doctors raped them after they delivered the babies.

As businesses get larger, and the need for effective alignment of the business with technology capabilities grows, enterprise architecture becomes an essential competency. But in China, many CIOs are struggling with setting up a high-performance enterprise architecture program to support their business strategies in a disruptive market landscape. This seems equally true for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and multinational companies (MNCs).
To gain a better understanding of the problem, I had an interesting conversation with Le Yao, general secretary of Center for Informatization and Information Management (CIIM) and director of the CIO program at Peking University. Le Yao is one of the first pioneers introducing The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) into China to help address the above challenges. I believe that the five-year journey of TOGAF in China is just an early beginning for EA, and companies in the China market need relevant EA insights to help them support their business:

Ray Burton honored in Bretton Woods as he battles cancer
By BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Sunday News | November 02. 2013 8:01PM
Ray Burton attended a special Executive Council meeting Friday at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods where he was honored. (BOB HOOKWAY)
From the heartfelt to the lighthearted, they included the joke that after decades of trying, Burton had finally succeeded in transferring New Hampshire's government seat from Concord to his beloved North Country.
He arrived at the door of the historic Mount Washington Hotel in the center of the White Mountains, where the sun broke through in time for a brief Governor and Executive Council meeting. A large contingent of well-wishers that included many public servants, both of the Granite State's U.S. senators and half the governors he served over the years, was waiting for him in the Gold Room.
To a round of laughter in the packed meeting room, Burton said, "I always had to keep an eye on District 4. It seems like we haven't done enough for Manchester."
A ceremony across the highway from the hotel followed the council meeting and marked the opening of a new scenic overlook.
"On behalf of the people of New Hampshire, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making your life's work the people's work. Thank you for touching our lives and strengthening our state. We will be forever grateful," Hassan said.
Summing up his 35 years in office, Burton said it "adds up to only one thing, public service," prompting a loud round of applause that closed the meeting.

When I bought my hives, some of the frames in the hives were 40 years old! That is not to say that he foundation is that old, but some of the foundation/comb was very dark, almost black. The bees seemed to store in them, but sparingly.They were the ones with the least honey in them. The heaviest supers were fairly new frames (2-5 years old) and foundations. Then there were some frames that looked practically new, and had an eliptical comb pattern in the middle, but not out to the edge. Some of the two year old to five year old frames were completely filled in, and weighed a ton. I really think 2/3 of my honey came from 1/3 of the supers.
I recently bought some foundation called "Duragilt", but have been told that this is the worst of the worst.
Quote from: Hopeful on November 06, 2007, 08:48:22 AM I recently bought some foundation called "Duragilt", but have been told that this is the worst of the worst. I agree with that, it is the worst foundation I ever tried to use, this is what I seen with it, they drew out correctly maybe 10 sheets out of 60 that they even worked on and wouldn't even draw out some ( just like they do on pierco) just dont work it like they do wax foundation, every sheet except for that 10 will be replaced with wax foundation, the thing about removing wax from the sheet is also true, had a couple sheet that one side was drawn out right and the other side was plastic, they removed the wax, this was the first year I tried it, worst stuff I ever used and will never try it again.....
The best acceptance is foundationless (with some kind of comb guide). Bees love to build their own comb.
It's quite easy to prove. Give them a box with foundationless, wax, plastic etc. and see what they do first. They will build their own comb on the foundationless first virtually every time.
You see we all have our favorites here, play around, sip some wine, roll around in the honey, hug your bees and have a great day.

Two Very Different Retailers, Two Similar Responses to Downgrades
Two very different retailers--supermarket chain Kroger (KR) and high-end apparel retailer Ralph Lauren (RL)--caught our eye this afternoon for the same reason: analyst downgrades that slammed stock prices.
We'll start with grocery giant Kroger, whose shares are down 4.6% at $37.45 at 3:22 p.m. after Credit Suisse analyst Edward Kelly downgraded it to Neutral from Outperform and slashed the price target to $39 from $48.
"While Kroger remains a well managed, high quality company positioned for long-term share gains, the risk/reward seems to be deteriorating," Kelly cautions.
It isn't just Kroger that Kelly and co. are hesitant to get excited about. The entire supermarket industry comes under fire:
We have become more cautious on the sector given weakening volumes, extremely low inflation, and always intense competition against improved valuations...Kroger seems particularly vulnerable given its strong performance and what now seems to be somewhat aggressive consensus estimates. We recommend investors move to the sidelines for the time being.
That said, Kelly raised estimates of Kroger to $3.08 and $3.35 from $3.02 and $3.33 respectively.
Curious to see what the competition was doing, we found Safeway (SWY) down 0.1% at $31.67, Supervalu (SVU) down 1.4% at $6.25, and Sprouts Farmers Markets (SFM) up 0.9% at $39.60.
Switching gears, Ralph Lauren has taken a pounding this afternoon after Jay Sole of Morgan Stanley assumed coverage of the company and downgraded it to Equal Weight.
Sole notes that the company's predictable EPS growth since the mid-2000s was helped by retail growth, license buybacks and infrastructure investments, but the categories are slowing down. As a result, Sole warns, Ralph Lauren is looking to branch out into uncharted territory:
Part of the new plan calls for growth in areas where [Ralph Lauren] has not had as much success – China and accessories...
We think high-single-digit sales growth, with 110 basis points margin expansion, and 7% share count reduction is the new plan, delivering a 12% 4-year EPS compound annual growth rate, in-line with consensus. In a bull case, where China and accessories sales accelerate, we calculate mid-teens EPS growth. However, if new initiative growth lags, we forecast only mid-single-digit bear case profit expansion.
Shares of Ralph Lauren have dropped 2.5% to $163.86.

Netball is a team game, played by two teams of seven players. The aim of the game is to score more goals than your opposition, a bit like basketball but not as rough. There's more passing too, because you can't run with the ball. Netball is still the only women's team sport and enjoys weekly television coverage on Sky Sports. It is a hugely popular game amongst girls and women, and is rapidly growing in popularity with boys and men who play in mixed Netball games.
Netball is played by more than 20 million people in more than 80 countries and has been played in England since 1893. Netball has been recognized as an Olympic sport since 1995, although it has never been played at the Summer Olympics, there is an effort by politicians and senior people in the game to get it included. Hopefully this will be achieved in the future.
Speed, strategy, team work and co-ordination are essential skills for Netball. It's about running, jumping, throwing, catching, attacking, defending, scoring goals and stopping goals. And just as importantly, it is about having fun, playing with friends.
Arsenal Premier League 4 Sport is working in collaboration with Islington Netball Club and England Netball to run satellite clubs in 5 sites:
Mondays - Sobell Leisure Centre, N7 - 3.30-5.30pm
Mondays – City of London Academy, Islington, N1 – 3.30-5.30pm
Tuesdays - Highbury Fields Girls School, N7 - 3.30-5.30pm
Thursdays - Camden School for Girls, NW5 - 3.30-5.30pm
Thursdays – Mount Carmel, N19 – 3.30-5.00pm
Islington Netball Club
The Islington Netball Club has been linked to The Access to Sports Project since 2004, to engage more young people to participate in netball as there are few junior clubs in the area. The club has three regular coaches and offers two regular netball sessions based at Sobell Leisure Centre and Finsbury Leisure Centre. Any participants in PL4S satellite clubs have the opportunity to join Islington Netball Club and attend any of the above sessions. The club have also entered a team into the West London Junior Netball League, where they will be playing against a number of different teams once a month.

I saw your post in the Pen Pals group. Wanna be mail pals?
LAura !!!!! i am so sorry i even have finished your letter and still haven't sent it cause i need to print more copies but other than that i hope you are well!!!!
Hey Laura! Sorry it took me about five months to reply to the comment you left on my page... I haven't been on here much at all since June, and so I missed it somehow. I went to the Philly Zine Fest yesterday and was reminded of this site.
Haha, Doyles-town, yes I saw that! Actually, it's funny you mention that because back when I read the article I got cranky when they said I have a "rare" kidney disease, since it's really pretty common. But then I saw that they misspelled "Doylestown" and realized that the reporter probably just didn't do his homework.
Anyway, your zines look pretty awesome! Are you planning on going to the 2012 Scranton Zine Fest?
Take care!,
Lauren ☼

To raise awareness about the University of St. Thomas and its mission to educate leaders of faith and character, the University launched the campaign, "Shine At UST." The campaign will feature TV spots, advertising on KUHF radio's NPR drive-time news programs, a photography contest and a new microsite with student and graduate success stories.
A series of three TV advertisements pair images of students and alumni: At the University of St. Thomas, we educate them here, so they shine in their professions.
The spots will air weekly on Sunday morning news shows during the 9 a.m. hour, starting Sept. 9 on KHOU Channel 11's "Face the Nation." Also look for the UST advertisements on "Meet the Press." Beginning Sept. 3, UST will have spots on FOX News Channel's cable shows, "Hannity" and "The O'Reilly Factor."
On the radio, UST will have live read advertisements on KUHF 88.7 FM radio's NPR drive-time news programs and on the station's classical-format sister channel KUHA 91.7 FM.
The University will also run online banner advertisements, on sites like americancatholic.org, chron.com, gradschools.com, photobucket.com and mashable.com.
UST will launch its first Photography Contest on Sept. 8. The free contest celebrates the art and architecture of the University, as well as campus life and faith. It is open to the general public, students, faculty and staff, with professional and amateur divisions. The contest runs Sept. 8-Oct. 20, and the grand prize is $1,500.
The campaign, timed to coincide with groundwork for the upcoming Performing Arts Center and Health Science Center, will help Houstonians learn the benefits that graduates bring to the larger communities where they live, work, worship and play. When asked "Who educates leaders of faith and character?" UST wants more people to know the answer: "The University of St. Thomas."
Learn more about UST's leaders of faith and character at ShineAtUst.com.

text: Brown eggs are not to hard. I use a rechargeable spotlight and a card board box to candle all mine. I usually candle mine at 5 days after setting them. That will tell you if they are fertile or not. And then I candle at about 15 days, just to see how they are doing. My biggest lesson learned is don't lick your fingers when you are turning them!!! good luck. I have a set of pics that will show you what they should look like when you candle them each day. It was very educational for me. I will see if I can find it and post it for ya'll..F

Next condition him to three basic steps of having his leg held extended, held off at the elbow and pinched lightly on the mid leg. Lots of very high value treats for this. Make a lighthearted game of this and of the muzzle work. Then slowly combine all the different steps so he becomes used to the sequence. first without, then with the muzzle. If he gets worried, you are moving too fast, just back up the training and start again. It is just information that he needs to go slower with the process to be comfortable with it. And take those high value treats to the next vet's office with you too.
Best of luck to you both!

|Thanks for all the awesome info. We are going to take him in for weighing the next few weeks. So we will make sure he has really good experiences. We are also going to purchase a muzzle so we can get him accustom to one. Does anyone have any suggestions on good muzzles for GSD's?
The vet held Delgado with one arm around his waist and the other holding his front leg out for the tech. She shaved a small portion and one stick later she had enough blood. Delgado and the vet had a mutual love/make out session the entire time. It was hilarious to watch and I loved the low key energy of both, there was no fuss or muss and everyone walked away with smiles.
I'd make the effort to take him back a few times without doing anything but feed treats and have the staff greet him. The muzzle as well I would work hard to have him associate with good things. It may end up being a fluke and he doesn't have any other issues but it never hurts to be proactive

Lol, David, that is the words that always curse us! If anyone says that the vein is large or something like that, it's guaranteed you will miss it.
As Anubis said, it really all is in your holder. Even a person with amazing skills can be spoiled by someone who does not know how to restrain properly, and is working with the dog to make it as quick and stress-free as possible.
I am a good hit with veins most of the time, however, just as these people are, I am human. I can make mistakes. We usually have a two hit rule too, and personally if I can't get it within a stick or two, I will pass to another and offer to hold because I know that I can hold well for others.
That said, if it's a larger dog without the worry of a clotting factor problem, my favorite vein is the jugular. It's quick, I frankly still use the standard needle and syringe combo, and generally speaking if I am certain on where it is, I can usually hit it. Our rule is that front legs are for catheters, and I tend to leave back legs for smaller blood draws (just a blood glucose or PCV) or injections. -shrugs- I am normally able to get it on the first stick, but some days dogs can be extremely challenging without having to do more than be a dog.
At this point, I would basically chalk it up to a bad vein day. If you have to go in for something like that again, be certain to mention that it was hard last time so you likely should be prepared. I'm not generally a fan of the lay the dog flat out and draw from a back leg method. I've done it with them standing, or sitting with legs facing me. You have to read the dog and see how things look. I always look twice and try to poke once. But again, I am not these people and it could have just been a bad day/issues with the way the leg was held off/positioned.
Sounds like proper restraint still wasn't utilized. If i NEEDED blood, I would put the dog on it's side, HOLD it down firmly, and hold off the back leg for my counterpart to hit. Most owners don't approve of fluffy being restrained in that manner which is why I like to take dogs to the back to draw blood. Usually, proper restraint and help in the first place make this a problem that doesn't happen often.
Also keep in mind I work emergency medicine. I unfortunately don't have time to work through fear and stress. My patients are sick and we need the blood NOW
Sometimes dogs have crap veins. And sometimes you have a hard time hitting it. Zekes veins collapse when he is poked and gets stressed. He is VERY hard to hit. We've had to shave his legs just to get blood. Yes sometimes you have that dog that every one tries every leg and you still have a super hard time hitting a vein. It happens.
I think several things were not in their favor today. 1 sounds like they tried alone. I can hit most veins alone. But if it's a difficult vein sometimes it's hard without someone else, properly trained, to properly hold of and restrained. After the second try they should of just gone and gotten then vet then to help hold off. At that point unfortunately the dog is not behaving. Now you have a moving target. Veins are probably collapsing. Jugs are usually no easier in this case and you have to use are larger needle
|Boy, I wish I could be as perfect as all of you, and ALWAYS hit it on the first stick! Please, show me your miraculous ways
|David Winners
I'm lucky. Fama is easy to stick. The veins on the front of her front legs are about the size of a #2 pencil.
I hate it when it takes them more than one stick for my dogs. I try to keep mum and not say anything, and my dogs tend to be ok with it, but it irritates me.
I wouldn't necessarily switch vets, but I might not want to be too frustrated with your pup either. I would probably go a couple of times, just to weigh the boy and get treats from the vet techs, in the next couple of weeks, so that every time he goes to the vet he doesn't get stuck.
Try not to relive this issue, and do everything matter-of-factly at the vet. He will probably get over this quicker if you do. But yeah, they shouldn't have to try four legs to get blood out of a dog.

The Jets could definitely use some help in their backfield right now. Presumed starter Chris Ivory has missed more than a week's worth of practice because of a hamstring strain. Mike Goodson has yet to report to camp, and head coach Rex Ryan won't say why. Joe McKnight was arrested last week and has a possible concussion. But maybe help is on the way in the form of a 5-foot-9, 198-round running back who was undrafted in 2011 and has never played in a regular-season game.
That is Chad Spann. The 25-year-old was signed by the Jets last month and has already left quite an impression on Ryan, who referred to him recently as "that MJD guy." According to the Newark Star-Ledger's Michael Fensom, Spann "cannon-balls through the line of scrimmage."
Fantasy Analysis:
Besides Geno Smith and Mark Sanchez, we have another player in green to watch during tonight's Jets-Lions game. I don't know if he'll make the final roster; his odds would seem long if Ivory and McKnight both get healthy, and Goodson reports at some point. But those are a lot of "ifs," and it's always fun to root for the little guy. He was very productive at Northern Illinois in 2009 and 2010. Considering his road in the NFL, you know Spann will work hard for every opportunity he gets. And he should get a pretty big opportunity tonight.

New Series "Fetching" Debuts on AOL On
Jun 18, 2012
Following the success of Little Women, Big Cars, and to celebrate international "Take Your Dog to Work Day", AOL just launched a new original video series, Fetching, on AOL On Relationships. Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, Fetching stars Liza, a young woman who quit her job as a lawyer and ended her engagement in the same week, to pursue her dreams of opening her own business - a doggy day care store called "Fetching." The comedy about love, dogs and their owners, was created by Amy Harris, one of the producers of Sex and the City, Gossip Girl and the upcoming prequel to Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries.
Fetching is the story of Liza, a lawyer who quits and job and calls off her engagement when she realizes that she's not ready to settle down and become the wife and mother her fiancé, Mitch, expects her to be. She starts over by using the money she saved for her wedding to open a new business: a doggy day care store called Fetching. She hires her friends Matt and Daveed, and the loveable Adi, to help out. As the business grows, Liza struggles to juggle challenging clients (and their dogs), the business competition, and her brother's family, all the while trying to find love again. The problem is, her dog Oscar has an opinion on who she dates too.
The cast includes:
- Liza (Collette Wolfe, Next Caller, HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, Cougar Town)- A newly single thirty-something who has recently quit her job as a lawyer and opens a doggy day care called Fetching
- Oscar - Liza's adorable mutt rescued from a shelter who is her closest (cuddliest) confidant, and may have better taste in who Liza should date than she does
- Matt (Levi Fiehler, WOLF TOWN) - A single Princeton Grad who works as Fetching's dog walker and may not be quite living up to his potential
- Blake (Dave Annable,Brothers & Sisters)- A local bank executive who is charming, devastatingly handsome and extremely allergic to dogs
- Sheila (Elaine Hendrix, THE PARENT TRAP) - Fetching's biggest client, along with her overly pampered pup Frederick, just may be the shop's biggest pain in the tail
- Adi (Sandra Vergara,FRIGHT NIGHT)- The sexy and opinionated Latina receptionist at Fetching who gives Liza her sassy but honest advice about love and men
- David a.k.a. Daveed (Brian Tichnell, STAINED GLASS) - Fetching's gay dog groomer who was once the hottest hairdresser to the stars now only styles dogs because they don't talk back
The series was originally announced at AOL's Digital Content NewFront in April. Watch and share the entire series now: http://on.aol.com/studio/fetching.

Product Details
Inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers during World War II, our MacAlister boots are made from the finest Italian suede and only get better with age. We purposely left them unlined for a more casual feel.
Size & Fit Details
Classic MacAlister boots in suede
Classic MacAlister boots in suede is rated out of 5 by 66.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael from Size Chart Needs Retooling Great looking shoe. I just don't understand the sizing with J Crew boots; I normally wear a 10.5 in most every pair of footwear I own but I purchased the 9 with the Macalisters based on other reviews. They fit well but the heel and toe are a little tight on my right foot. Probably more me than the boot, but still, sizing down an entire size and a half when ordering online can be a disaster. Definitely recommend but do your homework on the appropriate size and treat the suede.
Date published: 2016-09-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marcus from Classic, Comfortable, Stylish I recently bought these boots and I LOVE them already. They look and feel incredible. I normally wear sz 10, but got these in a 9.5 per other reviews, and the fit is perfect. These will definitely be my go to boots for fall. They look great with jeans and chinos. I'm going to get the other color as well. These will never go out of style.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmer from must buy but be sure to size down Bought these in dark khaki along with a pair of the Macalister oxfords. I alternate both pair pretty much everyday for work and they are extremely comfortable and have held up for almost two years now. I'm usually a size 10 in almost every shoe that I wear but I had to go down a full size to a 9 and I still have plenty of room in the toe.
Date published: 2016-08-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phil40love from My Style My personal favorite shoes. I wear them everyday except when I go to bed. I own six pairs of these shoes. I just recently bought 3 more pairs, call me crazy but these shoes are my styles.
Date published: 2016-05-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by Steve from Great Year Round Shoe I remember Desert Boots when they came around the first time! These shoes are great to wear with jeans,khakis,corduroys,or shorts if you dare. Very comfortable,and are a great addition to my wardrobe.

Here is my "portable" beeyard :-D
Can you describe the upper entrances and the size of the bed of the trailer?Keith
My bee yard is on my deck right behind my sunporch:Photo RemovedLinda T in Atlanta
Nice looking hives, but how can you work them without interfering in their flight paths? I would think it might be better to face the hive entrances out from the center of the deck.
Dane, very nice areal picture. Microsoft Virtual Earth, eh? Tell us about it. I have looked at my place on Google Earth, but the pictures were about 2 years outdated. We have had massive property changes in the past two years and I wish Google would update. Best of this beautiful day. Cindi
Quote from: kgbenson on April 09, 2007, 01:56:53 PMKeithThe mid-entrance as I like to call it, was based off of this design with some improvements from myself.http://robo.hydroville.com/v12/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,21/They are in the winter position in the photo, with no honey supers in place. During the summer, the honey supers are placed on top of the entrance. It is basically a 3" box within a box. There is 3/8" clearance all around the outside that allows the bees to pass from the brood area to the honey storage area, but with the middle blocked off, it keeps the queen down in the brood section. Instead of just boxing off the center area, I wanted to make it a dual purpose fixture that could be used year round. So I put a piece of 1/4" or 1/2" hardware cloth on the bottom so that feeder candy could be placed in the box during the winter for feeding. To prevent the bees from building comb in that area in the summer, two removable 1/4" sheets are used to block the area off. One sits on top of the hardware cloth, and the other on the top of the inner box. Here are some drawings that hopefully give you a better idea of it. If I ever get the time to finish revamping my new website and get it online, it will have the detailed plans to all my custom stuff. Including my poor-man's plastic barrel TBH.
My bee yard is right there (where the bee is pointing). A fenced in, decked area with four hives (so far) on benches.I'll add some more shots of the layout next time I'm out there with the camera.

Ralph McQuarrie worked along side Joe Johnston in the development of Boba Fett, designing numerous variations of the Boba Fett costume, slowly refining the character from a look similar to the stormtroopers seen in Star Wars to its own unique character. According to George Lucas, Boba Fett emerged from the original creation of Darth Vader.
"I wanted to develop an essentially evil, very frightening character," said Lucas of Vader. "He started as a kind of intergalactic bounty hunter, evolved into a grotesque knight, and as I got deeper into the knight ethos he became more a dark warrior than a mercenary... I split him up and it was from the early concept of Darth Vader as a bounty hunter that Boba Fett came."

Baby app developer Open Solutions altered its educational claims for its baby apps five days after the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission that the claims were deceptive.
As a result of the changes made by Open Solutions, CCFC withdrew its FTC complaint.
Among the claims Open Solutions removed from its marketing were: "entertain and educate your baby," and "new and innovative form of baby education."
CCFC also filed a complaint against Fisher-Price for marketing its baby apps as educational, but Fisher-Price has yet to change its marketing.
"We hope that Fisher Price—and other baby app developers—follow their [Open Solutions'] example. It's unfair for companies to make unsubstantiated educational claims that exploit parents' understandable desire to give their baby a leg up—especially when time with tablets and smart phones [are] the last thing very young children need for optimal learning and development," Dr. Susan Linn, CCFC's director, said in a statement.
In its letter to the FTC withdrawing its complaint about Open Solutions, the CCFC urged the FTC to address its Fisher-Price complaint and provide guidance to baby app developers that they have evidence to back up substantive educational claims.
Fisher-Price stands by its claims. "Our toy development process begins with extensive research by our internal team of early childhood development experts to create appropriate toys for the ways children play, discover and grow. Grounded in 80 years of research and childhood development observations, we have appropriately extended these well researched play patterns into the digital space," said Dr. Kathleen Alfano, Fisher-Price's senior director of child research, in a statement.

The Canisius men's soccer team scored the first goal but Iona responded with three unanswered goals to defeat the Golden Griffins 3-1 at the Demske Sports Complex on Saturday night.
"Just like the end of last season, we have been able to generate chances but aren't able to finish them," Canisius coach Dermot McGrane said. "We limited Iona to just a few chances and that should be enough to defeat a team. I give credit to Iona for taking advantage of those chances, but we have to find a way to finish our own scoring opportunities."
The Griffs controlled play for the opening 30 minutes of the game, taking a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute. Junior Asani Samuels went up the left side and fired a shot at the Iona net. Julian Petrello made the initial save, but the rebound went in front of the goal where junior Denver Spearman gathered the rebound and scored his third goal of the season to give the Griffs the lead.
Iona (9-6-2, 5-3-1 MAAC) then scored two goals in less than five minutes late in the first half. Ignacio Maganto drew a foul just outside the penalty area, and Franklin Castellanos shot the free kick into the upper-left corner to even the score in the 38th minute. Just four minutes later, Samuel Adjei sent a cross from the right side in front of the Canisius net, where a Golden Griffin defender attempted to clear the cross but shot it into his own net and put Iona up 2-1. The Gaels put the game away in the 85th minute when Castellanos gathered the ball in the left side of the box. He made a quick move to the right and then fired a shot into the right side to put Iona up 3-1.
Peterello (9-6-2) made six saves to earn the win while John Hollinger (1-2-0) took the loss for the Griffs.
Canisius returns to the field on Wednesday, at Rider University. Match time is set for 3 p.m.

Short version: I'm still dealing with the fallout from the behavior of one dog who died 9 years ago.
From the time Morgan came here as a 6 month old, Luther tried to steal her food. As she got older, he'd get in her food and she'd be jumping on his back biting his neck and he'd hunker down in the dish yelping but still eating her food. I had a door I could separate them with but Morgan was a fussy eater.
Luther passed away, we got Otto 3 YEARS later, Morgan obviously wasn't over what Luther used to do to her. She'd start walking towards Otto giving him a look like 'I could take that from you'.
Otto started grumbling at her about 7-8 months so I started crating him to eat. He never liked the crate so it worked well to give him something positive to associate with the crate. He'd growl at Morgan if she looked at him while he was eating in his crate, I'd tell him to knock it off, which he would for a while.
Morgan passed away, Otto was out of the crate for meals. Until he grumbled at my kids for walking into the room while he was eating - it's a small galley kitchen, 5 x 12 with a stove and a row of cabinets. Not much room for a dog and kids anyway. Back in the box if you want to grumble at little people while you're eating. Probably a good idea anyway - he's a deep chested dog, gets gassy if he runs around after he eats and I worry about bloat.
Enter Venus, who's not chicken but she's not about to start a fight other than goofing around. She's always dancing around the crate after I put Otto in to eat, he grumbles once in a while and I tell him to knock it off.
Venus has no problems with him around food, they'll eat treats together, lick a plate together. If I'm not in the room, I won't let them both be in the kitchen while the children are snacking. So far there have been no fights over food. There were fights over dropped food when it was Morgan and Otto. She tried to kill him over the aforementioned empty chicken nugget box...
"Right of ownership" interactions between dogs which are still vying for position occurs in many ways.....perhaps you are witnessing some of this temporary adjustment as status is being created between your two dogs.
The individual or dog ( if allowed ) in the lead position will ultimately determine the outcome and the nature of the coexistence.
|Cara Fusinato
My sheltie started by "checking" the shepherd's food bowl, then watching him eat his last bites, then trying to run to get his food (leashed and distracted by me with training and treats for calmness), then all out hysteria with barks and lunging on the leash no matter what I offered, to eating in another room and attacking him when let out of the room. My sheltie is SO bad she eats in another room and I let the shepherd out to potty and THEN I release her. I feed her in a muffin tin to be a "slow bowl" so he has time to eat his larger meal before she is barking and hitting the door to get out. By the time she hits the yard where he is busy pottying the frenzy is over. He is over twice her weight, no matter. We are 7 months into having her and it has not gotten better. I compensate.
I hope it passes as you pup grows up. This is a permanent thing for me.
Yes by all means keep them from eating together but that might just be the start of problems so:
Two or More Dogs
And I always throw in this one now:

|It is alot for your adult gsd to adjust to a puppy . I think you are on the right track with feeding them apart. I can't speak from experience, but others have told me that this stage passes as the puppy gets bigger.
Any remedies for food agression?
So my almost two year old GSD is a very well behaved dog except....
We've noticed since we got the puppy that she is very protective of her food, and even his food if she thinks she wants it. She growls and snarls and even gives him some pretty harsh warning nips. I don't feed them together because of this.
She has been our only dog so she's never been exposed to having to share anything. She is not at all aggressive about her food with any person, just other dogs.
She also gets that way with toys some, but not as bad.
Any ideas on making this better, or should I plan many years of seperate a feedings?

Hey guys,
I have an 08 Forester with 70k on it and I love it.
My friend has one with 100k on it and said that he did his timing chain at 70.....
Frankly I forgot all about the importance of doing that.
Who has a Subaru (doesn't have to be a Forester) and did their belt and when?
Also, they dealership pushes the water pump while you are in there, and a front rear "all wheel drive fluid" change...
How much of that is BS OR is it a good idea?
I don't intend on getting rid of this car for a while.

Until 2009, the State of Oregon regulated the length of time a railroad may block a public highway-rail crossing. An Oregon Court of Appeals ruling determined that federal law preempted the State from continuing this practice. So, the State of Oregon can no longer control public crossings that are blocked by trains. For issues regarding highway-rail crossing blockages, please contact the railroad. To identify the operating railroad in your area, refer to the State Rail System Map. Telephone numbers can be found on the list of railroads operating in Oregon.

Not all bumper cars are created equal. Somehow I always pick the one with a sticky gas pedal and become the object of torment for my opponents. This is essentially what happens to microscopic particles when you stick them in a jar of water. The microscopic particle is a massive bumper car stuck in the middle of the rink surrounded by a bunch of tiny super-charged bumper cars, water molecules. The water molecules are all crashing into the poor, defenseless particle at once, and this makes it move. If you were to watch the particle, it would look like it's moving in random directions for no apparent reason. A botanist named Robert Brown (hence the name Brownian Motion) watched pollen grains doing this in water with a microscope almost 200 years ago.
It turns out actually that this process isn't entirely random. How fast particles jiggle around is dependent on a few things. As the particles get bigger, they will move slower because more water molecules have to gang up on it to push it around. We can also give the water molecules more energy by increasing the temperature. At higher temperatures, the water molecules will move around faster and bang into the particle with more force that will make the particle move more quickly. It's also important what kind of fluid the particle is immersed in, as you may or may not know from experience, it's a lot easier to swim through water then something more viscous, or "thicker" like molasses. So if you take these few things into consideration, we can predict how big the random jumps particles make pretty accurately.
So then how do we measure how fast they move? Well, you need some way to watch the particles move around and this is still done the same way Robert Brown did back in the day with a microscope. Then you can watch the particle for awhile and write down where it went over time. You'll see that if given x amount of time, the particle on average moves about the same distance. In fact, if you plot the average distance the particle moves versus time, it's a straight line. The slope of that line is what we use to figure out the diffusion coefficient of the particle, and this tells us how fast or slow the particles will move.
Luckily in my lab, we have fancy cameras attached to our microscopes to make movies of particles moving around. I have a video here I took recently of some gold particles I was messing around with. I used a technique called dark field microscopy, which is a nice way to image really, really tiny particles like these that can't be seen in normal microscopes. We've also written particle tracking software that does all the number crunching for us to figure out how fast the particles are moving. It is important for us to know how fast particles are moving as they approach each other for instance, when we try to build crystals out of them or as they approach a surface, like a cancer cell.
