Additional artwork was created by Dinnerjoe, Topshot, and GreenscreenPonies.
The Mane 6 are having a picnic while Spike is preoccupied with a panther they set on him. Spike hoewever, manages to lose the panther and get to Twilight just in time to burp out a letter for her from Princess Celestia, telling her that as part of her duties as "Princess of the Night" she is required to attend an upcoming wedding as well as assigning her friends a variety of tasks to keep them busy. A second letter then reveals that the wedding is between "Princess Cadence Not Evil Good Pony" and her brother "Francis Sparkle". Twilight is angry however, because her brother was originally intended to marry her, and she still has feelings for him. She claims this is not creepy since he isn't her biological brother through a musical number which Applejack describes as "the creepiest thing [she'd] ever heard".
The group then makes their way to Canterlot whereupon Twilight confronts her brother, waving off his excuses. She then gets to meet Princess Cadence, renown as whom Twilight immediately tells she is going to steal her husband. Later, while the Princess is checking on how Applejack is doing with the catering, Twilight watches her politely remind Applejack that she is allergic to apples. Applejack ignores this anyways and gives the Princess a bag full of apple confectionaries, to which the Princess throws the bag into a food donation bucket while Applejack is not looking. Twilight then goes to Rarity to complain about Cadence, when suddenly the mare in question walks into the room. Cadence tells Rarity that the dress doesn't really look like a wedding gown, despite everypony else saying it looks beautiful. Twilight then calls Cadence stupid after she leaves.
That night, Twilight tries to slander Cadence's name among her friends, before leaving angrily when she finds that it has little effect on her getting her own way. Twilight then makes her way to her brother, to confess her true feelings for him, but he is pulled aside by Cadence who tells him that she thinks Twilight and her friends are one-dimensional caricatures and that they are rubbing off on him. Twilight then casts a spell and Francis gets a sudden headache. Twilight starts shouting about Cadence being evil and runs away screaming. Twilight then regroups with her friends to tell them how Cadence is evil, but finds that they have been making puns for the episode's title without her. She then goes and lies on some stairs, claiming that they are her only friend.
Later, Princess Cadence is about to have her small personal wedding (having donated the wedding budget to charity). However, Twilight bursts in through the door and tells everyone that Cadence is evil, and that she hates her. After Twilight chases Cadence away in tears, the scene cuts to a far more extravagant wedding between her and her brother, which nobody finds weird because they aren't biologically related. When Francis asks Twilight what she did with Cadence, she replies that she "took care of her", which is to say she beat her up and ordered her to stay in the crystal caverns beneath Canterlot. Francis comments that he doesn't feel anything about that and Twilights tells him he won't ever feel anything again, hinting to the nature of Twilight's spell. A newspaper montage then plays, revealing that the wedding was widely accepted, Princess Cadence was never found, and that the panther is still loose in Ponyville. In the newspaper, there are still several references to other episodes, such as the pony from The Perfect Swarm getting sick from watering flowers and Newt Pipington British Hooves lossing all of his outer body parts that are not required to survive.

That holds true in the x265 Benchmark with the X399 and 1950X combination pushing some enormous numbers.

Great review Guv. Those BIOS problems are pretty much on par with all the hell I had with my X370 Carbon on the original BIOS as well. I'd hope for MSI's sake, it won't take 6 months to sort this board out like it has done for mine.Quote
Great review Tom and we can always depend upon you to give an unbiased opinion, just wish Msi would get their S**T together as it's really letting down an otherwise reasonable product.Quote
Nice review Tom , i understand that the rapid development of new board and socket for this platform has put immense pressure on manufacturer to get there high end products to market , but since its is for the higher end , you would like to think they thoroughly test them before releasing a flawed bios, rather than waiting for a reviewer such as yourself to point out the flaws .Quote
The new BIOS actually makes it pretty decent, Id say the only flaw now is the VRM heatsink. I just hope that beta BIOS gets put on the website ASAP nowQuote
Any chance of a quick head up if that NH-U14S TR4 (I'm presuming that what it is and not the U12) cooler clears both the first PCIE slot and the VRM heatsink? CPU Cooler is the last thing I need for my upgrade.Quote

This is Adrianne. She is very sweet and has tons of spirit.
Chris is about to launch a website for his new book which is a detective story set in New York in the sixties. Chris is one of the most knowledgable people on the planet on the subject of The Velvet Underground and a fairly reliable source (Chris himself) told me the book has some aspects of that scene woven into it.
This session took place at Chris's compound in deepest Finchley, London.
…. from last Saturday's live band shoot. This is the guitarist from Tenyson. When I get his name I'll edit this.
There is some aspect of any kind of work that has the potential to be fun to do. At least that's my theory. In photography there are all kinds of work I don't particularly like. Event photography is one of them. Weddings come into that category and so does shooting live bands. But ….
I'm finding that aspect that I like. And without going into it in any detail I'll just put up a few samples from the "Smoke on the Water" live outdoor concert that took place on Saturday as part of the Saint Hill Arts Festival.
This is 2190.

As mentioned a week or two ago Roger Nunn wanted some promo type images. I'd been looking forward to this session for a while and had dreamed up a few scenes. On the day the weather wasn't kind and it was also quite late in the day when we began.
We started on a roof in the heart of the City of London.
Looking south towards the Thames.
Looking north. Yes that is St Paul's Cathedral.
Looking west toward Blackfriars. It was quite tricky getting Roger on to that platform. I told him I was insured but he still took a little persuading.
Roger is basically a nice guy but looking like one isn't always called for. So we went for a sinister kind of thing here.
And lastly the sulking in an alley type look which is compulsory for all rock musicians. In this case Roger wanted coffee and there was none to be had.
I don't do weddings. But I did this one as a second shooter. I won't explain how it came about as it probably isn't of much interest. Suffice to say it happened last Friday and in spite of all the reasons I don't do weddings I had a great time. The couple, Bernard and Sibila, were married at Sidcup Registry Office and held their reception at the Holiday Inn in Bexley.
At the end of the day my feet felt quite abused but it was a good day. Here are some samples of what I got.
Thank you Bernard and Sibila. It was a privilege to share your day and I wish you great happiness.
Friend and Press Gang drummer Roger Nunn came over today to pick up some prints and to show me the cover of the Press Gang's new album which now has the title "No Mercy".
The first hundred sold will be a special limited and numbered edition which is a lot larger than the normal CD album. It looks great and I'm very pleased with the way it's been printed. After the first hundred it will only be available as a regular sized CD cover.
Front cover
The inside spread shows individual shots of the band. The background image came from a library but was processed by yours truly.
Back cover.
You'll notice Roger's hands are filthy in these pictures. He'd been painting today. I could have asked him to clean up first but would that truly be rock and roll?
Recent posts have drifted away from Rock and Roll so this is to get the blog back on track. Louise was fun to work with. This was shot on the roof of her flat somewhere near Holloway in London one evening about a year ago I think.
I'm about to move and I'm not entirely sure where I'm going yet but will likely arrive there within the next day or two. I'm aiming to do a lot more work along these lines in the near future. So if you're any kind of artist reading this and you like what you see let me know.
Just because it's a cute picture really. I have a few bookings that involve children coming up so you can expect a few more in the weeks ahead.
This was made about a year ago and may have even been posted before. But I like it.
Call me cynical but I can't stand those positive thinking standards such as "this is the first day of the rest of your life". It's a true enough statment but there's something altogether wet about it in that it's quite close to being a useful truth without actually being one by itself. The speaker acts as if he has said something profound. My reply is usually something like, "Yeah but did you know that without Tomorrow there can be No Future?" Or if it's a politician I'd ask, "Do you intend to put the Great back in Britain?"
This is a scene that is about a half mile walk up the road from ARTS House. I call it the Plawhatch Lookout but that isn't it's real name. This was shot just over two years ago and processed early this morning. One of my pet hates is to see framed pictures with captions beneath them. I have a voice in my head that shouts captions should not be needed if the image is good enough. But in this case "A new day" came to mind and that reminded me of another pet hate of mine; motivational speakers who say things like the above.
So I've decided to call it "You've a whole new day to screw up". Could be the begining of a whole new series.

From Martin
Dear You,
I know for myself, the pain and sadness and despair I can go through can be excruciating, worse than any physical pain, and at the time I am going through it, it blocks out everything else. But afterward, when I can step outside myself and see the whole of me, I realise that when I am happy (and I don't mean manic, just 'normally' happy) and well, I notice, feel and enjoy things most other people aren't even aware are there, and I feel so lucky.
Although when in the depths of a depressive episode you may feel you just want it all to end - to die even - when you even think you feel dead, please try to remember – and look for signs – that you are in fact, more alive than most people, even though that seems an awful paradox. Please don't ever regret your sensitivity, your tendency to pain and sadness that gives the illusion of being disabling, please don't see it as a weakness: it is in fact your greatest strength, it is part of your unique beauty. OUR greatest strength. OUR unique beauty in this world. And part of the gift you have - I have, WE have – to give to the world... to help it soften, to teach it compassion and tenderness.
Do you realise how brave you are to feel the pain of depression? Most people will do almost anything to escape pain – and generally succeed in doing so. OK – we haven't chosen to be this way, but the fact that you are still alive means you have that great courage, because you have felt that pain, and you're still here to tell the tale. You know what that is? That is HEROIC. Do you know what the definition of a Champion is? A Champion is someone who gets up even when he can't. How many times have you already done that in your life, as a person who suffers depression?
You probably don't feel it at the moment, but I am telling you, you are a Hero, a Champion, and one of an elite group of the population who has been chosen to be an example to the rest, and you are therefore a gift to the world.
I leave you with these verses:
"The deeper sorrow carves into your being,
the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine
the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit,
The very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart
and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow
that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful, look again into your heart,
And you shall see that in truth you are weeping
for that which has been your delight."
(Khail Gibran)
"Sorrow prepares you for joy.
It violently sweeps everything out of your house,
So that new joy can find space to enter.
It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,
So that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.
It pulls up the rotten roots,
So that new roots hidden beneath jave room to grow.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,
Far better things will take their place."
(Sonia Rumi)
The sun WILL come out again.
With love,
Martin x

"I was looking for a place that would inspire creative and innovative thinking for our non-profit strategic planning meeting. As soon as I came across the Greenhouse Loft's pictures online I was sold. Though, as good as the online photos are, the real thing is so much better. It offers beautiful natural light, something that is rarely found in a hotel conference room. The staff were helpful, willing and accommodating. I would recommend it and I would absolutely use the space again if given the opportunity."
-E. Richardson, Funder Liason at Recycling Partnership
We recently had the pleasure of hosting an important meeting, not only to us, but to the city of Chicago. The topic of recycling program expansion was discussed by funding partners, board members and a few invited guests and staff. The focus of the meeting was the creation of a strategic plan for a fast growing organization, Recycling Partnership.
Greenhouse Loft was chosen as the ideal venue with the idea of innovative and creative thinking in mind. It is key to find a space that offered inspiration. Which is something that most hotel conference rooms lack.
We are ecstatic when we can host such groundbreaking thinkers as these. Since our building proudly practices sorted recycling and composting. We recommend keeping an eye on Recycling Partnership and hope they keep expanding upon their important work.

Engaging and Inspiring Teacher of the Year
Kyle is an experimental psychologist with a primary focus on the role of health-related cognitions and biases in the appraisal of (pro and anti) health messages, produced by alcohol companies and the government respectively. He is also interested in the health inequalities generated by these messages.
He completed a PhD at Sheffield Hallam University (April 2012) assessing how graphic cigarette warnings influence smokers on a non-conscious level. He then spent 18 months working at the University of Liverpool as a Research Associate. In this position he assessed the role of alcohol related cues (i.e. brand labelling and alcohol related contexts) and value on both the choice and consumption of alcohol. Following this, Kyle worked for the Behaviour and Health Research Unit (BHRU) within the University of Cambridge from November 2012 in order to assess the role of alcohol marketing and sponsorship on implicit cognitions and consumption.
After a brief period lecturing at the University of Derby from February to September (2013), Kyle joined Birmingham City University as a permanent lecturer in applied psychology.

Listening to Mike Peters, a Mercy Hospital legislative specialist out of Springfield, discuss state matters as to health care, he made a poignant point. He said the state was ready to give everything but the kitchen sink to Boeing, a company seeking a site to build a new plant to build airplanes, but doesn't give enough thought to a home industry that has a huge economic impact — our hospitals and related facilities. He gave Mercy Hospital Washington ambassadors numbers to prove his point.
In the quest for new industries to create additional jobs, there can be a tendency to look away from the home front where established and relatively new companies are making an impact. The industrial development boards in Washington, for instance, have remained focused on what is here and have attempted to keep in touch with local industries. And, assistance has been provided when possible.
The Mercy system serves 83 Missouri communities with its hospitals and ambulatory facilities. It has 10 acute care hospitals in the state and one affiliate hospital. In addition, it has two heart hospitals, two children's hospitals, two rehab hospitals, one orthopedic hospital, 161 clinic locations, five outpatient surgery centers, 14 urgent care sites and four convenient care centers. All of that provides a potent economic impact in Missouri.
Not to be overlooked is that Mercy has 480 physician practices in the state. Mercy Clinic has 1,500 integrated physicians and 644 Mercy Clinic integrated APPs.
The total payroll consists of 27,003 people — medical staff and co-workers.
For fiscal year 2013, Mercy Missouri had 2,437 staffed beds; 331,614 emergency department visits; 13,316 births; 87,893 surgeries; 102,222 inpatient discharges; 1,770,134 outpatient visits; and 3,626,752 physician office visits.
The financial data for fiscal year 2013 tells the Mercy economic impact story in the state. Salaries and benefits totaled $1.8 billion. One wonders how that compares to Boeing's salaries and benefits in fiscal year 2013? Certainly Boeing makes a strong economic impact also.
One of the most significant figures in the financial information provided to the ambassadors is that in fiscal year 2013, Mercy provided $172 million in charity care, community benefits and uncompensated Medicaid services.
Mercy Missouri has $4.8 billion in total assets and had $2.9 billion in total operating revenue in the last fiscal year.
When looking at all of these figures, it is evident Mercy Missouri plays a major role in the state's well-being — as a jobs creator, taking care of people's health needs, providing charity care and at the same time being one of Missouri's economic impact giants.

Today is the 11th birthday of my youngest brother Benjamin. He was, what you would call, a miracle baby.
You may argue that every baby is a miracle baby, and you may have evidence to back up your claim. But that doesn't change mine.
On April 19th in 2000, on a rainy morning where the grass was a brilliant green and the trees were still stark and dark, like a cowlick that won't stay down, two of our teenagers left the house shouting and running, laughing and gunning an engine.
In fifteen minutes one brother was dead, lying in the middle of the highway less than a mile from our house. Traffic was stopped on both sides; lights spun, sirens blared and our brother, the best brother, we had always said, was lying misshapen on the wet blacktop. Death never comes conveniently, but it always comes memorably.
And for one week our family, who was beginning to fracture already, we banded. We gathered close, hundreds of people came through our door, and we clung. We clung fiercely for those weeks. My smallest brothers slept in bed with me, curled close, and I laid awake at night praying that God would never take them, not ever, because losing a part of yourself once hurts enough for a lifetime.
But it did not take long for those small fractures in the togetherness of us to spread. Death, when it comes, puts a pressure that even the strongest glass cannot withstand.
So it is a miracle that my mother found herself to be pregnant a few months later. It is first a miracle because she was in her forties. It is second a miracle because she and my dad were hardly on speaking terms. But it is a miracle most of all because that conception happened in such a way that that baby was due to come on April 19, 2001—one year from the day Andrew died.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away—but not always in that order.
Sometimes the Lord takes away and then the Lord gives.
We have always been small babies, petite, tiny, fragile—all of us. But nothing prepared us for the smallness of Benjamin when he arrived, because—as today is his birthday—he came two months early.
Two months.
When he was born my hand could cup his entire body and I am known to have small hands. We could not touch his skin, so fragile and thin, translucent, like a bad burn. He was kept in an incubator for weeks, and we, who had never concerned ourselves with weights and measures smaller than pounds or halves, suddenly knew the worth of a gram.
2200 grams. This was the target. But when you are born less than 1000 grams, this is half your life.
We watched that incubator with long hope.
And life, it seemed, was put on hold.
The fracture was complete at this point, divisions were deep, and we were all living separate lives, but in that NICU, we were a family. We had witnessed a miracle and a miracle can go a long way—I held on to that belief for a long, long time.
I still do, in some ways.
The day we brought Benjamin home, all I can remember was how cold it was. Not for us, maybe, but how cold it must be to be apart first from your mother's womb and now the incubator. We are a warm family still, withstanding the fracture, but even we cannot grow a child when it is outside the safest places in the world.
Benjamin has never known our parents to be together. Half his life he lived with Mom and half his life has been with Dad. He has never lived in a home with all of us together and I'll be honest—I worry about that sometimes.
I worry that the miracle baby will grow into a boy and man who never knew the security that comes of two parents together and older siblings who were never close enough to make Sunday dinner a priority.
But I'll be honest—I don't worry too much.
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the length to which God goes to save us and to restore creation in ways we call miracles, but He originally just called good. And when I remember that I stop worrying because God cares about due dates and death dates and He doesn't mix them up, not ever.
Andrew David didn't die too soon and Benjamin David didn't arrive too soon. And healing, when it comes for this fractured world, will be on time too.
That's the beauty of birthdays. I think. They're right on time.
Happy 11th birthday, Benjamin David Ferguson. You are a miracle in every sense of the word and I love you.

The next version of the low-cost tablet Aakash should be available by January 2014, following the finalisation of its specifications by the Indian Government, the Telecom and IT Minister, Kapil Sibal, has announced.
"The generation 4 Aakash is ready, all the specifications are frozen," Sibal told reporters at a telecommunications conference in New Delhi.
Around 12 manufacturers from around the globe are ready to make the Android-based tablet in India, the minister added.
The Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals (DGS&D) will now start the process for orders of the tablet, which is expected to support 4G services, have integrated phone calling, 4GB of in-built storage and Bluetooth connectivity.

Produced by British company DataWind, the Aakash was manufactured by the India-based company Quad in Hyderabad.

Note, Redza in Malaysia (http://merahza.wordpress.com) shared this with us the other day. We feel it is timely and well worth consideration. David and Celest
A Sweet Lesson On Patience
A NYC Taxi driver wrote:
I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90′s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940′s movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.
There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.
She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.'
'Oh, you're such a good boy,' she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?'
'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly..
'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.'
I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice..'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
'What route would you like me to take?' I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now'.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.
Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
They must have been expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
'How much do I owe you?' She asked, reaching into her purse.
'Nothing,' I said.
'You have to make a living,' she answered.
'There are other passengers,' I responded.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said. 'Thank you.'
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life..
I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware – beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
(If I may add…this is also a lesson on unconditional love. Redza)

Many Thoughts-Many Voices / Godumentary.com
The answer that people are always searching for is to the question "what's wrong with my life?" The real questions they should be asking themselves about are the following: was I raised to believe in truth or was I raised to believe in the illusions of truth? Was I raised to have prejudices against people of other colors? Was I religiously indoctrinated? Am I setting a good example for my family, for my friends and for myself? Do I respect the choices of others without being judgmental? Here are more questions for you to think about. Are you allowing people to learn from their mistakes and are you learning from your own mistakes? Can you see the actions of others and understand that two wrongs do not make a right? Can you love people with the understanding that you do not have to always agree with them? Have you learned to love yourself yet? If you can not love yourself how can love another? This is how is how the generational family curse is passed on from one to another to another. If people do not learn to respect other peoples' boundaries, then how can they expect to have their own respected? It is not about the color of skin, everyone bleeds red.
It is about how you have been taught to perceive others and how you react to your own perceptions that define you as a true human being. People should not value others more than they value themselves, yet if they have grown up in unrealistic situations that truly have no value then they can not teach their own families or even their own friends about things they themselves know nothing about. The history of the people of this planet is bias and prejudice born again and again and again. This only creates more disharmony and unhappiness and causes the gap that exists between races to widen even more.
Men and women have been battling each other since forever and their children grow up the same way. As long as this type of hatred, competition and lack of morality exist, the family curse goes on. The 99 percent is representative of all the different types of mental enslavement and physical duress that have been commonplace all over this planet since the beginning of time. But even the 99 percent can unconsciously become a magnet for many instigators and troublemakers who can care less about the principles of truth and justice. They are just what they are, troublemakers. If it were possible, which it is not, to trace the family life of each of these troublemakers, you would see that it is simply history repeating itself. The troublemakers are placed within the 99 percent by the malcontents of society who are intent on disrupting good people's attempts for justice. The malcontents all have hidden agendas. There are many neo-Nazi's, KKK members and every type of hate group you can imagine who are contributing overall to the family curse. So on the one hand you have the good citizens of the planet struggling valiantly to not only have their voices heard, but to establish a true democracy worldwide. On the other hand many of these individuals are being used by the very people who are the tormentors of society. The tormenters are the ones who are also aligned with the one percent, as well as with the emotionally unstable people.
People seem to need to have a hero or heroine to be the ones who create change. But if these heroes or heroines do not have the people's best interests at heart then nothing can change except the further decimation of the human races. The curse is an all prevailing mass of thought, like a hoard of locusts let loose and consuming everything good in their path. The most difficult challenge people have today is to leave their former mental programming and start to think for themselves. What a concept. It requires work and personal responsibility and the ability and the willingness to admit you are wrong when you are. It means standing up even to your children, lovers, spouses, whoever, and saying, "just because you want to believe in those illusions does not mean I do." Forget about trying to find truth and honesty in the media, it is a very bad joke. If you can just search your mind and clear out the junk, diffuse unjust angers and put an end to the generational curse, you can be your own media. No, this will not be a popular stand, however one person standing in truth can begin to turn the tide.
The curse has been a continuous case of pattern making. Change is not static nor is it repetitious, but it does require work. Everybody wants to say they walk their walk, yeah right. The problem is they don't walk their talk.
The family curse is an insidious infection. Everybody wants their children to grow up and be better and do more than they themselves have done. How can the children do that if their minds are not educated in truth sans illusions and understand the harsh reality that this is not a perfect world? It has been a long time since the teachers have taught the children to think for themselves and even longer since many parents have taught by example.
To nonviolently stand up for yourself is a scary proposition for most people. Yet if the people don't do it, who will?
We suggest that you consider the curse as the "majority" and "change" as the true minority. There is nothing wrong with being a minority unless you are part of the one percent.
There is not a culture or a class distinction on this planet that is exempt from the family curse. The beat just goes on and on and on. If you are wondering how you can create change we can give you the simple answer. You create change by becoming a part of change. Just remember, this may not be a popular stance to take but other people will see or hear about it when you start doing it. And in time the family curse will be exorcised. Are you up for this challenge? We are.

Diane with members of the Sickle Cell Society at a recent event
Sickle Cell is the England's most common inherited blood disorder with over 12,000 sufferers.
It affects people mainly from black African and Caribbean background and I myself have known people who have suffered the effects of this disease.
I am currently the chair of the All Party Group on Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.
In June 2012 the Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Society had a meeting in Portcullis House, Westminster. In this meeting we discussed what progress had been made in improving the transition for young sufferers from paediatric care to adult.
Research has shown that mortality for Sickle Cell sufferers increases when they move from children's to adult care as often the standard of care is not as high and the close relationship which many enjoy in paediatric is lost in adult care, a relationship which can is beneficial for Sickle Cell sufferers.
The APPG is looking at ways that we can get government to take seriously the issue of transition care for young adults with Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.
At this meeting we heard from Luhanga Musamadi, Clinical Nurse specialist for adolescences and young
people with Sickle Cell at St Thomas's hospital. Luhanga is the first of his kind in this country, a clinical nurse specialist who with a specific focus on helping young people of the transition from paediatrics to children's care.
The results at St Thomas's have been dramatic and there are now nurse specialist with a focus on transition care in hospitals across the country.
I will soon be leading a delegation of the APPG to the Department of Health on issues surronding Sickle Cell.

New Year, New Goals…
I am not a fan of new years resolutions. I think they are great if they work for you but something about vowing to "lose 10 pounds this year!" just doesn't do it for me. So instead this year I am going to try to set "goals" for my self. Just things I would like to be better at or work towards…
- Save More: Although our money situation is fine, the one area where I constantly feel like we are lacking is in our savings. We always have what we need to buy big things like new tires and plane tickets but I just feel like we have no cushion, no back up plan, no rainy day fund. So this year I'd really like to just remember to add to a special account once a month. Then I'd really like to try to forget about it – I don't want to think about it as my "new bedroom furniture fund" or anything like that – just money that's set aside.
- Continue Reading: I have enjoyed getting back to reading so much this year and I want to keep it in my life. I think I'll make a reading list for the year to keep me on track with good recommended books so I stay away from all fluff books.
- Decide what I want to be when I grow up: This is a constant evolving goal of mine that I can never seem to figure out and I think things like this are better without a deadline… this one is just for pondering.
- Continue Blogging: I like my blog so I can look back and see what I liked, what I was thinking, and of course it's my best way to keep my pictures up to date. So this year I'd like to continue to blog!
Also, Thank you for your thoughts for Albie's family. Albie loved his Aunt LeeLee and he will miss her a lot. And, bear with me as I get over this awful cold and organize all my Orlando pictures. I promise I'll have trip updates soon.
January 6, 2011 9:50 am
I am so with you on the rainy day fund. The moment we get back from our honeymoon I am going to start saving for that! I wonder how much is enough? Or is it just going to be something you always put money into? Anyways, I am so with you on books. I feel like I read so many crappy books and I'm looking forward to reading something a little more substantial this year. :)

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply?
The preferred method of application is through use of the online application forms available at theUMBC Graduate School website. The online application will include both the Application for Graduate Admission and the Supplemental Application for the Human Services Psychology program. If it is impossible for an applicant to apply on line, paper copies of application materials can be obtained by contacting the Psychology Department at 410-455-2567. The application deadline is December 1.
When is the application deadline for the HSP Ph.D. Program?
The Application for Graduate Admission may mention several application deadlines as required by the Graduate School, however, the application deadline for the Human Services Psychology program isDecember 1st. All materials including the Psychology GRE and the General GRE must be received by this date. Letter of recommendation should be submitted by mid-November, well before the deadline. Please note that not all GRE test dates will allow submission of the GRE scores in time to meet the application deadline.
Is an interview required as part of the admission process?
The Human Services Psychology program does conduct in-person interviews as part of the applicant evaluation process. If you cannot interview in person, it may be possible to arrange a phone interview. Interviews will be conducted March 3 – 4, 2011.
How many students apply and are accepted each year?
Enrollment figures vary slightly from year to year. For example, for 2005, 2006, and 2007, there were 121, 126, and 122 applications, respectively. Acceptance rates for the three years were 9.1%, 11.9%, and 9.9%, respectively.
Can I apply to the program for entry in the Spring semester?
No, we only accept applications for entrance in the Fall semester.
What is the length of the program?
For students entering with a baccalaureate degree, the program is designed to take the equivalent of 5-6 years of full-time study to complete. This includes a one-year internship for clinical psychology students, which is usually taken in the student's fifth or sixth year.
Can students pursue the Ph.D. on a part-time basis?
The program is designed to be completed on a full-time basis by all students. While there have been rare instances in which students need to pursue the requirements on a part-time basis, these instances have been associated with extenuating circumstances and need to be approved by the full HSP faculty.
Are there minimum GPA or GRE requirements?
The minimum GPA for admission is a B average, or a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. While there is no minimum score for the GRE tests, scores on any test that fall below the 50th percentile are typically cause for concern regarding the overall application. Beyond these requirements, admissions are competitive based upon scores on the Verbal, Quantitative, and Advanced Psychology tests of the Graduate Record Examination, grade point average, letters of recommendation, and any other information relevant to assessing a student's potential for successfully completing the program.
Do I need to take the GRE Psychology subject test?
Yes. The Human Services Psychology program requires that you take the Graduate Record Examination Psychology subject test. There are no exceptions to this requirement, except when the applicant already has a Ph.D. in another area of psychology. Please note, the GRE Psychology subject test dates are limited, and some are too late for our deadline. We will accept November subject test results as long as the scores are submitted to UMBC by ETS in mid-December. Applications will not be reviewed until the Psychology GRE scores and all other materials have been received.
What materials must I submit for my application to be complete?
- Application for Graduate Admission
- Supplemental Application for the Human Services Psychology Program
- Application Fee ($50 for online application; $70 for paper application)
- Letters of Recommendation (3)
- GRE Scores (Including Psychology Subject Test)
- Official Transcripts
This information is also available from the Graduate School application checklist.
Is funding or financial aid available?
Funding is available in the form of graduate teaching and research assistantships. Support from special needs funding programs and other grants through the department and the Graduate School is also available. Loan information is available through UMBC's Office of Financial Aid
What careers do most graduates from the HSP program pursue?
Recent graduates from our Human Services Psychology program have found initial career placements in a variety of settings which involve psychological services, teaching and research. Approximately 30 percent have moved into direct service provision in private practice settings. The majority have found employment in a variety of state and university institutions as staff psychologists, research associates and assistant professors. Recent employment settings range from Johns Hopkins University, NIH, and medical schools, to community hospitals, schools or correctional institutions.
Must I have been a Psychology major to be eligible to apply?
You do not need to have been a psychology major to apply to the program. However, ideal preparation for the Ph.D. program consists of a solid background of coursework in the realm of psychology, including coursework in statistics and research methods. A broad knowledge of mathematical, biological, and social sciences is also recommended. Psychology coursework you must have completed includes: Introductory Psychology, Abnormal Psychology (if you are pursuing the Clinical track), Psychological Statistics, and Research Methods. Recommended courses include: Personality, Physiological Psychology, and Developmental Psychology.
What does it mean for a student to pursue multiple tracks within the HSP Program (aka being a "slasher")
Students may pursue multiple tracks within the HSP Program. These multiple track subspecialties span the differing programs and include: Clinical/Behavioral Medicine, Clinical/Community Psychology, and Behavioral Medicine/Community Psychology.
Do you offer a Master's Degree in Psychology?
No. The Human Services Psychology program only admits students into a Ph.D. program; a Master's degree is typically earned en route to completion of the Ph.D. The HSP Clinical, Community Psychology, and Behavioral Medicine programs are not appropriate for students who want a terminal Master's degree. The only terminal Master's degree offered within the HSP program is the M.A. in Applied Behavior Analysis that has been developed and maintained by the UMBC Department of Psychology and the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Department of Behavioral Psychology.
Is there a Child Psychology program?
The Human Services Psychology program does include a Child Clinical specialization (concentration) within the clinical program. It is also possible to combine a Child Clinical concentration with either the Behavioral Medicine (Child Clinical/Behavioral Medicine) or Community Psychology (Child Clinical/Community) tracks.
What is the difference between the Human Services Psychology program and the Applied Developmental Psychology program (both offered through UMBC's Psychology Department)?
The Human Services Psychology Program is an innovative, integrative conceptual structure encompassing three component specialty programs in behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, and community psychology. Within the HSP Program's conceptual framework, these programs are regarded as differing primarily in their particular focus within the human services matrix and in how they conceive of and approach the generic problems of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychological and physical disorders. The Applied Developmental Psychology program encompasses three concentrations in early development/early intervention, socioemotional development of children within and across cultures, and educational contexts of development. There is flexibility both within and between concentrations. The ADP program is designed to prepare its graduates for careers as practitioner researchers concerned with the design, evaluation and improvement of ways of enhancing the quality of human life. The ADP program does not offer a degree in Clinical Psychology.
Can I apply to work with an ADP faculty member if I apply for the HSP program?
All students in the HSP program have an HSP mentor. Sometimes HSP and ADP faculty will "co-mentor" a student whose research interests match both faculty members.

Lulu DK Temporary Metallic Tattoos Now on Sale
"Lulu DK Metallic Tattoos Stand Out Among the Rest."
Temporary metallic tattoos aren't just for kids anymore.
Fashion designers from all over the world are releasing their own spins on these classic child fashion accessories. They are no longer childish princesses or cars, but rather beautiful designs. Lulu DK, a fashion store and high-end fabric and wallpaper company, offers some of the most unique and beautiful temporary tattoos on the market. Lulu DK Tattoo designs are based and created from the original artwork of designer Lulu deKwiatkowski, making them highly desirable. Lulu DK specializes in metallic tattoos in modern tribal designs. These look like cute, interesting jewelry pieces but are actually temporary metallic tattoos. Also known as 'flash tattoos', these Lulu DK metallic temporary tattoos are the perfect fashion accessory for every outfit. They come in multiple colors, designs and sizes, making them the perfect choice for any outfit.
Want a more formal looking tattoo? There's one for you! Want a casual, more hippie looking tattoo? There's a tattoo for you as well! Become a contemporary style icon with these cute and fashionable temporary Lulu DK tattoos.As there are so many ways to wear temporary tattoos, it can be difficult to decide where to put them.
For a more flashy and outgoing style, try using some on your face!
From a small, simple design to a full face design. Placing smaller or medium sized tattoos on the shoulders or chest area is a great way to add flare to your outfit without being too obnoxious. The color of the tattoo can also dictate how noticeable it is. To conceal tattoos more easily (even though they're fake) is easier with non-bright colors. A teal colored tattoo is harder to conceal than a light silver or gold tattoo. The nice thing about these tattoos, however, is that they are temporary. For those afraid of the commitment and/or pain of real tattoos, the temporary option is the way to go. If you don't like it or don't like where it is, wash it off and put it somewhere else!
On average a tattoos from lulu dk tattoos will last a minimum of one week but it has been reported that some may last even as long as two weeks with proper care, as these temporary metallic gold tattoos are the longest lasting temporary tattoos out of all of their competitors. Lulu DK tattoos were also the first company to come out with colored metallic tattoos, although many copy cats have now added colored temporary tattoos to their selection of available metallic tattoo sets. Another factor when it comes to these types of flash tattoos is that there are many different grades available. Picking a flash tattoo from a company with no record of safety or health standards can be somewhat dangerous. There are some knock off and fake temporary metallic tattoos that have been reported to have caused skin irritations and problems with their use. So be wary of no name temporary tattoos as they may be knock offs from China. Unfortunately they do not have the same safety standards and there is no guarantee that you will not suffer from irritation or problems. Sticking with a reputable American Company such as Lulu Dk tattoos will ensure that you do not run into any problems of this sort.
Although this fashion trend may seem very new, it actually arose in 2012 with the fashion team at Dior. They popped back up at music festivals. More specifically, the Full Moon Festival in New York City.
When applying these beauties, don't go crazy and put the whole pack on.
Start with simple, smaller rings or designs in one part of your body and move from there. Going crazy with these metallic tattoos can make you look like a crazed eight year-old who just got a pack of Disney Princess tattoos for their birthday. If you want a bolder look, especially for when you're showing off your bikini-clad body, use larger tattoos. Using more tattoos doesn't necessarily create a more bold and fashionable look. You will just look disorganized. To be more elegant start small and work your way up! You no longer need to buy single pieces of expensive jewelry.
You can now buy a pack of Lulu DK metallic tattoos on sale for about $25 dollars and sometimes with a Lulu DK discount code they are even cheaper. A full pack will last you a very long time. Especially because they are known to be the longest lasting temporary tattoos in the industry. These are more of a summer trend, as they're most commonly seen with bikinis and dresses, but can add flare to winter and fall outfits as well. You can use these temporary metallic tattoos for rings, bracelets, or neck tattoos for a cute way to add the trend to your wardrobe year-round.

text: James Taylor | The Charger JAMES TAYLOR | THE CHARGER ABOUT THE RIDER I caught my first wave on a polystyrene single fin in Melkbosstrand when I was 12 years old and decided then and there that I wanted more, a lot more. We lived in the middle of South Africa throughout my school-going years, so I only got to surf during holidays, which I think in a way put me on the big wave path. My time in the ocean was precious, because I didn't have it every day, and the less crowded the spot, the more waves I got, so I found myself rather surfing big close outs or outer reefs with long paddle-outs alone than more "rideable" waves that were crowded. When I finished school I headed straight for Cape Town to continue my search for uncrowded waves in earnest. The first real big wave spot I surfed was a left near Koel Bay called Paranoia, after that it was the Outer Kom, then The Factory, then Sunset and then Dungeons. I never really had the urge to go to the more well-known spots like Mavericks and Waimea Bay because of the crowds, but after a while the lure of riding those waves became too much and I traveled to the Northern Hemisphere and surfed Waimea Bay, Jaws, Sunset, and Makaha in Hawaii, Mavericks in Northern California and Todos Santos in Mexico.

6,000 Dogs 'Work' at Amazon, Company Reports
In a recent blog post, Amazon revealed that thousands of dogs join their owners at work every day.
"On any given day at our Seattle headquarters, employees share workspace with as many as 6,000 dogs," the Day One staff wrote. "At Amazon, bring-your-dog-to-work day is every day—a long-standing tradition that both Amazonians and their four-legged friends enjoy."
"Having dogs in our workplace is an amazing treat. They make employees smile, and we're proud this is such a uniquely Amazonian tradition. It's truly ingrained in our company culture," explains Lara Hirschfield, Amazon's "Woof Pack" manager. "Our employees love bringing their dogs to work and love meeting their co-workers' dogs."
According to Hirschfield, "Amazon has been dog-friendly since Day 1. Our dogs add to the fun, dynamic energy of our workplace."
You can meet some of the dogs of Amazon, profiled here. The profiles include name, age, favorite toy, and favorite activity, along with a picture of each dog. Here's just a sampling:
Dog-friendly perks at the 30,000-person Amazon campus include designated dog relief areas, poop bag stations, and dog-friendly water fountains. Dog treats are doled out at reception desks in every office building, and on the 17th floor of the Doppler building, there's a dog park, equipped with a fake fire hydrant, for dogs to burn off some energy. In April, Amazon opened its second dog park adjacent to the company's campus in downtown Seattle's Denny Triangle area. The new facility is open to the public and there are plans to add a turf field for pups to enjoy.
Amazon's practice of allowing dogs at work began when a couple brought Rufus, their Welsh corgi, to the office. Amazon says the dog became a "surprisingly productive part of the team." Rufus died in 2009, but he remains a part of Amazon culture and even has a building on campus named after him.
There are some rules for bringing your dog to work at Amazon, however:

With more than 17,000 members, GACPA is the biggest sectoral organization of CPAs in the country.
It plays a vital role in influencing the level of professionalism, integrity and productivity in government. Its members are directly involved in the planning, management and review of the use of government resources.
Assistant Commissioner Jaime Naranjo, GACPA national president, said that GACPA vows to seek the promotion of high standard of technical competence and professionalism among its members and the use of state-of-the-art accounting practices in government; provide benefits to its members; foster cordial, harmonious and fruitful relationship among government CPAs; and promote outreach programs and community relations-enhancement activities beneficial to members and to the community at large.
GACPA envisions itself as an ally of government in developing and sustaining the country's economy and an organization that is participative and cooperative in the developmental efforts of the various sectors of the government, Naranjo said. (PNA)

In Support of the National Anthem, Trump's Campaign Site Sells 'Stand Up for America' Football Jerseys
Fans frustrated with anthem-kneeling antics now have the choice of buying a different kind of sportswear
President Donald Trump's official 2020 re-election campaign website, DonaldJTrump.com, recently started selling football jerseys in order to support standing for the national anthem.
The red jerseys feature the words "Stand Up for America" written on the front — along with number 45 on both sides of it and the last name "Trump" on the back. (Trump, of course, is the 45th president of the United States.)
The sleeves also feature American flags embroidered on them. The site says they are "proudly made in the USA."
Trump merchandise produced in the United States is made by Ace Specialties, a manufacturing company based in Louisiana, as Business Insider and other outlets have pointed out.
The "Stand Up for America" jerseys cost $99.99 apiece and are available in both men's and women's varieties.
The jersey was first sold back in September, around the time the NFL regular season began, but the jerseys have garnered more attention in recent days. Demand for the jerseys has been "brisk," as the New York Post and other outlets are reporting. The site warns, "Due to high demand, please allow 4-5 weeks to receive your jersey."
Exact sale figures have not been released.
The jersey's popularity should not come as a surprise. There've been some positive reactions on social media already.
That is great. Fight fire with fire. As for the people who did not bother to read, they are made in USA and frankly guess you were also too illiterate to read that they are being sold by the campaign. That would be the campaign to re-elect President Trump.
— Maddy (@steeley8756) October 7, 2018
Great idea
— Mommycoolio (@Pocahan89388948) October 10, 2018
This is absolutely brilliant.
— Mr. Dairenn Lombard (@Dairenn) October 9, 2018
President Trump's campaign adviser, Lara Trump, also told the Post that the jersey is a reflection of the president's "fervent belief that Americans should always stand for our national anthem."
The president has been a vocal critic of the NFL in the past two years because of the anthem-kneeling players who have shown disrespect toward the American flag — and of the league as a whole for not putting a policy in place mandating that players stand.
Last year, when he suggested that players who kneel for the flag be fired, the number of players kneeling for the anthem spiked to 180 players, or 12 percent of the league, the following week.
Plus, back in June, he also disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from the White House after they won the Super Bowl, because most of the team was boycotting the trip.
Until the NFL does something about its national anthem policy, it appears as though President Trump will continue to quarrel with the league in one way or another — and the jerseys are just the most recent example.

Volvo steals the Super Bowl.
The concept was pure chutzpah. "The moment any car ad shows during the Super Bowl, turn your attention to Volvo."
Volvo, never one of the noisier brands, wasn't going to spend $4.5 million on a 30-second Super Bowl ad. Instead Grey New York aimed to steal some of the big spenders' thunder: during any Super Bowl car ad, they said, tweet the name of someone you'd like to win one of five new Volvo XC60s, using #VolvoContest, and they're in with a chance.
Leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, a limited PR budget still produced countless news articles and TV exposure about Volvo's ploy. In the end there were 230 million media impressions, and 55,000 #VolvoContest tweets during the Super Bowl telecast.
Most importantly, the XC60 had the highest February sales increase of any car in its segment (70.7% year-on-year).

Raw Feeding an Introduction
Dogs, Food and History For thousands of years dogs have roamed the plains, woods and savannahs of the ancient world. Packs of dogs or wolves live in every type of climate and environment in the world. They ate whatever they could find with food coming from 3 main sources: Prey, Scavenged items and Grazing. Prey is mainly herbivores such as rabbits or sheep. Scavenged food was that which dogs acting as natures cleaners they find left over from larger predators or carcases they come across which have died in other ways. Grazed food includes fruit, nuts and berries in season. They also eat significant quantities of faeces of other animals mainly herbivores which provide extra vitamins and 'friendly bacteria'. Dogs hunt in packs. They devour their prey completely: nothing would remain of the carcase. The soft organs or viscera are the first to go followed by gut contents, which in most cases contained chewed and part digested vegetable material and small amount of cereal, but only a small proportion. Then the muscle meat would be eaten next with skin, bones and even hair to finish acting as natural teeth cleaning after a meal. Man has been living and hunting with dogs for some 40,000 years. The canines helping with the hunt and in return getting some of the leftovers including the bones, of course. Life was easier for both species in this symbiotic relationship.
Commercial diets In the 1950 food producers in the US and UK hit on the idea of selling the large amounts of left over poor quality meat, gristle viscera and cereal by products which they were not able to hide in sausages and pies. They put it in tins and called it dog food. For the first time in history, people could buy food specially made for their dogs and the idea soon caught on. Over time people have simply forgotten that they used to feed dogs on raw bones, meat scraps and vegetable left-overs – a wide variety of foods which being minimally processed retained their nutritional value.
Today we are bombarded with pet food advertising for this brand of tinned food, the other brand of dried food or that brand of chew to keep teeth in order. There are so many brands to choose from what should you should for your companion? If this food is as great as they say why don't they give it to people to eat it might be idea for astronauts for example or more nutritious than Jamie's school dinners may be? Would you eat it? So why do we feed processed food to our dogs in a word Convenience but how convenient is it when because of the diet your pet develops a persistent itch, eczema, dental problems and smelly breath. Atopy, colitis food allergy a dull, greasy or scurfy coat or possibly kidney disease are all in my opinion more common in dogs fed on processed foods.
Raw food: In my opinion dogs should eat as far as possible a raw food diet: Raw meat, liquidised raw fruit and vegetables and raw bones. It's simple to feed and it what dogs have evolved to eat. Here are the basic rules for raw feeding:
The Rules
Dogs should be fed on a variety of raw meats and bones as their staple diet. Just sticking to one type of meat or offal can deprive him of nutrients. Do not feed pork, Avoid beef if you dog has had skin or bowel allergy problems in the past. You can gradually introduce it under controlled conditions when you are confident he is doing OK on the new diet.
In order to give adequate levels of Calcium and Phosphate as well as other minerals we recommend you feed about 10-15% bone. This can be as ground up minces or in the form of bones with some meat still on. Most praw pet food suppliers with sell minces which include bone, mainly the poultry based ones enquire of your supplier. Raw chicken wings and poultry necks or similar cuts of meat can be fed 2-3 times weekly and are ideal for smaller breeds and puppies. They will improve dental health. Never give COOKED BONES: they are prone to splinter and cause internal problems. Raw bones are easily chewed and digested and provide valuable minerals for dogs and raw bone marrow in and excellent source of vitamins. It is unlikely but possible that a large piece of bone becoming stuck in the oesophagus or intestines for this reason avoid 'chop' bones with a round piece of vertebrae at one end. It is however very likely that if you do not feed bones to clean teeth your companion will need and anaesthetic and to have teeth cleaned.
Here is a colleague of ours view on Raw Feeding
Quantities to feed This will vary depending on the amount of exercise, growth etc. but as a guide feed 100-150g per 10kg of body weight. If your pet is gaining in weight (and is not a growing dog) then reduce a little. The chicken wings are counted as part of this ration. In addition you should feed bones at least twice a week to keep teeth clean and to supply calcium. This is particularly important if you use 'human' mince or other cuts of meat. Pet minces with minced bone such as we sell from AMP or Forthglade are an excellent source of calcium.
Liquidised Raw fruit and Vegetables: For every handful of meat feed 2 handfuls of this. You can include most vegetables and fruit and can also add nuts, ground up seeds herbs and cooked beans and a little potato. If you don't think you can feed this much then we advice you use the supplements Pet Plus or Missing Link which is freeze dried veg enzymes and oils. It is best to put it through a liquidiser or juicer so your companion gets maximum benefit from the veg and fruit. This simulates the 'gut contents' a wild dog would eat with natural prey.*
Offal: Feed fresh or frozen viscera once or twice a week (heart, liver, kidney and lungs) Vary which one you give. An egg including the shell weekly is a good protein and calcium source.
Treats: Freeze dried liver, meat or fish (Thrive or Burns) dried or fresh fruit but not raisins.
What to avoid: Do not feed cereal based foods such as biscuits or mixer. Raisins Rice is OK in small proportions.
Take any vegetables especially green leaves fruit and salad items and place in a liquidiser. You can use just one item or multiple but ensure a variety over a period of time. Blend to a rough broth if necessary adding a little water. Pour onto the meat ration until you have roughly a meat to veg ratio of 1:2. You can feed once or twice daily Some recommend giving veg and meat as separate meals.
How young? You can introduce puppies as young as 1 month to the BARF diet. Little and often 4 meals a day is the way to start off. Only the size of pieces is important and variety.
Cheats: How you may bend the rules:
- You can cook meat briefly by frying in olive oil briefly to seal the meat or brief immersion in boiling water. Meat however should in general be served rare.
- Liquidised veg will last for up to 48 hours in the fridge so can be prepared just 3 times a week. If you cannot find a wide variety of vegetables or are worried about your companion needing supplements then use one of the following: Pet Plus for Dogs, Missing Link for Dogs. These are available from Pilgrims
- An oven baked mixer can be used to fill out the diet once or twice weekly. This should be avoided if there is any possibility of wheat or gluten hypersensitivity which often shows as itching or chronic diarrhoea.
- If you cannot find bones from your butcher or do not wish to handle them then the AMP range of pet minces contain 4% ground bone as a source of calcium and phosphorus. We would then advice chews to help clean teeth. AMP supply poultry necks which are a good bony meat to start with
- An additive free complete food such as Burns. May not be as good but if you regularly feed raw bones and raw veg (or Pet Plus) with Burns it is a reasonable second best.
We also recommend one or both of these books as a source of information about raw feeding both by Tom Lonsdale:
- (1)Lonsdale, T. (1995). Periodontal disease and leucopenia. Journal of Small Animal Practice, 36, p542-546.
- (2)Pottenger, F.M. Jnr. (1995). Pottenger's Cats. Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, San Diego, California.

I bought the cheapo $24.95 pump and faucet from JC Whipme and can't seem to get the pump primed. It is mounted about 12" over the tank, midway between the faucet and the tank. I'm using 3/8" id hose slipped over the barb ends. I just can't get it to stay primed.
My tank is a blue water tank on its side with a hole drilled in it with a grommet and 3/8" id hose slid through. Does the pump have to be below the water level?
Any suggestions????

We make a living by what we earn, but we make a life by providing for the deprived people
The RDF is to provide Rohingya victims of Genocide with food, water, medicine and financial support. The RDF Foundation's Mission Humanitarian Program [MHP] aims to provide aids and nutrition to Rohingyas, particularly to children as possible as soonest. But this will be just a small step forward. There are about 440'000 Rohingya in Bangladesh and 660,000 in Arakan most of them are deprived and malnourished. Not by choice but because of sheer bad luck of Genocide. The RDF will try to support every single Rohingya and to empower Rohingya Community.
