8 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 "To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
12 "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.
15 By me kings reign
and rulers issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]
17 I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
18 With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;
what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.
22 "The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25 before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was constantly[e] at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
32 "Now then, my children, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the Lord.
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate me love death."
9 Wisdom has built her house;
she has set up[f] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
4 "Let all who are simple come to my house!"
To those who have no sense she says,
5 "Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight."
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through wisdom[g] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;
she is simple and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15 calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 "Let all who are simple come to my house!"
To those who have no sense she says,
17 "Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!"
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

I just discovered a paper from 1948, Eine Verallgemeinerung der Kreis-und Hyperbelfunktionen by R. Grammel which introduces functions he calls Cos(n) and Sin(n), representing a parameterization of the curve $x^n + y^n=1$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (the unit sphere of the n-norm) (also, I know the notation is pretty bad, if it was my choice I'd probably write something like $\sin_n$).
Grammel then proceeds to prove many identities about these generalizations of the circular sine and cosine that seem to show that they have much in common with the usual trigonometric functions.
Trying to find more information about these functions, I did not succeed in finding anything recent. I wondered if that was perhaps only because the terminology has changed since that paper or if there was some modern sense in which the study of these functions is trivial or uninteresting?

Mr. Rhodes' artistic aesthetic has been informed by his travels to African and non-Western countries. The people, art, and cultures of these societies have inspired Mr. Rhodes to consider non-Western approaches to furniture and art, and to create utilitarian objects that are works of art.

Annual J.P. Morgan Global Liquidity Investment PeerView 2014
The J.P. Morgan Global Liquidity Investment PeerView Survey examines the investment decisions of liquidity investors around the world. The 2014 edition surveyed over 300 people—each and every one a senior decision-maker—representing more than 300 unique entities and all sectors of the global economy.
- Liquidity is still key: Liquidity is a central concern of survey respondents. Half of global cash assets are placed in bank deposits. Money market funds account for over one-third of cash assets in the Americas.
- Risk remains a focus: The majority of respondents' investment policy statements define portfolio duration and credit standards for both longer- and shorter-term securities.
- Regulatory change is a concern: A majority of respondents plan to stay the course with their current cash allocation through 2015.
- Cash balance size and diversification: Firms with larger cash balances have a broader set of investment guidelines. A third or more of larger firms permit investment in asset-backed securities or mortgage-backed securities.
- Search for yield: Separately managed accounts account for a significant share of cash allocations.
- Manager selection: The top three criteria in order of importance are performance/risk adjusted returns, investment expertise and firm relationships

Are your cash investment practices aligned with your peers?
Market and regulatory forces will present challenges, as well as opportunities, to liquidity investors as they re-evaluate their cash investment decision-making. This process—always important, never simple—will greatly benefit from a peer comparison as firms consider how their policies and practices resemble, and differ from, their peers. In this regard, the J.P. Morgan Global Liquidity Investment PeerView Survey can serve as a valuable industry benchmark.


text: Iggy 0 Posted March 3, 2007 My name is Ignacio Juarez Mayo, my friends call me Iggy. Please members of Wetpixel call me Iggy? I've been shooting underwater for about 12 years. I made the usual path from Nikonos to SLR to DSLR. My current setups are D2x and D2xs in Seacam housings lit by Inon, Sea & Sea and Ikelite strobes. I enjoy wide angle most but shoot a lot of macro and fish since most liveaboards these days seem to visit macro areas most often. I now live in Farmington NM so diving is done only 3 or 4 times per year and at most I get a couple hundred dives per year, usually less. For that reason I signed on to Wetpixel. My reading through the forums of Wetpixel have convinced me there is a wealth of information to be gained from this gathering of like-minded divers, which is always helpful to one with limited opportunity to get in the water. Hopefully whatever experience I might add to a conversation may be of help to another. But fear not, I try to be gentle in conversation Greetings to everyone!!!

Sensun Research
I am a food scientist/sensory scientist/nutritionist trained in flavour chemistry and the sensory science of wine (ph.d). professionally; I have worked in the premium chocolate industry globally (asia, europe, north america) and now I am an independant working as a consultant to the food industry. My work involves creating product from concept to manufacturing prototype. I work with chefs for product creations and consumer/sensory panels to get product that people want. I seek truth in my work and I am happy to debunk food myths if consumers want something different. At the end of the day; I'm motivated by giving people quality product that they want, so that all involve prosper. My true passion is creating healthy, tasteful products that people will buy/consume either mass market or premium.
My audience is large to medium food businesses, or consumer goods companies that are interested in systematic approach to consumer research using sensory science rather than typical market research methods.
My audience typically doesn't have the internal resources for a sensory scientist, and consumer/market research budgets are often too pricey.
I can work on product optimization (existing product) or product innovation (assist with creating new product).
Clients might be; Food Companies, Commercial Bakeries, Cosmetic Companies, Skin Care Companies, Fragrance Companies - any consumer related product that involves the "senses"
The name Sensun is a made up word - the inspiration is "sensory" hence SENS and SUN connotes light, inspiration, truth. I am a spiritual person who believes in seeking truth at all levels.
The name confuses people because they don't know what it means. I understand that people call it SUNSEN OR SENSUN: hence I would like something in the design that shows "SUN" ie, either a sunburst, or the use of colour in the company name, so that it's easier to remember for people.
I have chosen a colour palette that I like (orange, cherry red, grey),
I am traditional but modern and simple in my approach and aesthetic; I would like the logo to communicate this. Clean, modern font. a logo that is warm (sun) but also clean, serious (research).
I have attached the colours i would like to see used in the logo; however - if designers are moved to use another approach, I'm open to it. Many thanks to everyone that participates!! I look forward to the results.

The master of arts in communication studies is a comprehensive program that focuses on communication and leadership. Specifically, the program develops students' knowledge and skills in these areas; all program courses explore some connection between communication and effective leadership. While focusing on leadership, the program also offers students a comprehensive overview of communication contexts. Since leaders must be able to communicate effectively in many different settings, the program seeks to build students' understanding and abilities across a broad array of communication contexts (including organizational, interpersonal, small group, mass media, and public relations).
The M.A. in communication studies also is designed as both an academic and a professional development degree. All courses, taught by University professors, are built on communication theory and research. With this firm academic foundation, many students complete the program and pursue additional graduate work at the Ph.D. level. The program also offers a thesis option for students interested in pursuing a large-scale research project in preparation for future Ph.D. work. In terms of professional development, all courses explore pragmatic issues of communication. With an emphasis on enhancing their abilities as communicators and leaders, students can further their chosen career goals, and perhaps future success, by exploring up to 15 credits outside the Department of Communication Studies. For example, students interested in administrative work can take elective courses in the master of public administration program (M.P.A.). The department faculty also are ideally suited to help with students' professional development goals because they serve as communication consultants to groups and organizations outside the University.
Since the program is designed to enhance students' communication skills, courses within the program require extensive speaking and writing. Courses are generally taught as small discussion-oriented seminars, and most course grading centers on students' presentations and papers.
Admission to the program is contingent on satisfactory review of the following data. No single deficit will preclude a student from gaining admission. Analysis and consideration of all the material to document the following will be evaluated:
Three additional items may be used to support an application for admission:
To remain in good standing, a student must maintain a minimum, overall graduate GPA of 3.0 or above.
At the completion of 12 semester hours (at least nine of which are within the department), a minimum graduate GPA of 3.0 or better must be earned for candidacy to be achieved. At candidacy, a major adviser is selected.
After the completion of all course work, nonthesis and thesis students will take a comprehensive written examination. Thesis students will defend their theses orally.

Argument from desire
The Argument from Desire is an argument for the existence of God, or rather some desired object. The Christian philosopher and apologist Thomas Aquinas, although using the argument, thought that on its own it was an insufficient argument for the existence of god. A version was popularized by C. S. Lewis.
The argument is criticized by both theists and atheists alike. Sigmund Freud considered God to be nothing more than a psychological illusion to fulfill innate human desires rather than an actual entity that exists.
The argument is similar to the argument from divine sense.
CS Lewis version[edit]
The argument was promoted by C. S. Lewis and reportedly playing a part in his conversion to Christianity.
In The Weight of Glory:
- "A man's physical hunger does not prove that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist."
- "In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world."
- "Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exist. [...] If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. [...] I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death"
Wikipedia version[edit]
- p1. Humans have innate desires.
- a. By "innate" we mean those desires that are universal.
- b.The desire for food, the desire for companionship, the desire to enjoy beauty are innate desires in this sense
- c. The desires to have a grand house or a PhD are not.
- P2. All innate human desires have objects that exist.
- a. We feel hunger; there is such a thing as eating. We feel sexual desire; there is such a thing as sex.
- b. It would be unlikely for a race of individuals to exist who reported feeling hungry yet but did not possess food, mouths nor stomachs.
- c. For every such innate desire in human experience (save one) we can identify the object.
- p3. There is a desire for "we know not what" whose object cannot be identified.
- a. We are never truly satisfied. For even while we satisfy our hunger, our need for companionship, love, beauty, achievement, etc.
- b. The second premise aims to articulate and appeal to the concept of "longing" as expressed by the German term Sehnsucht.
- c3. If the object of this desire does not exist in this world, it must exist in another.
- p1. Humans have innate desires.
Simplified version[edit]
- p1. Humans have innate desires.
- p2. All innate human desires have objects that exist.
- p3. There is an innate human desire for God.
- C1. Therefore, God exists.
Counter arguments[edit]
False premise: Reification[edit]
The first problem with the argument is in the second premise (simplified version). In itself, this premise is a fallacy of reification. Having a desire to fly doesn't mean you can actually flap your arms and take off. Obviously flying isn't an innate desire in humans but it demonstrates the fallacy.
Perhaps the better example of this would be survival. Both the theist and the atheist would agree that survival is an innate desire. But there is no evidence, or any reason at all, to believe that because you don't want to die, there must be somebody out there that cannot die and will live forever. Put like this, it does seem silly, because it is.
Innate or not, desires don't prove the existence of the object of that desire.
False Premise: Unfounded assertion[edit]
The second problem with the argument is in the third premise (simplified version). There is no innate desire for God. The existence of certain sorts of antitheists (i.e. Christopher Hitchens) more or less proves this point. It cannot be the case that "all people have a desire for God" if it is the case that "some person does not have a desire for God" or "some person has a desire for there not to be a God." If it is the case that one can live quite comfortably and be completely content without the a belief or desire for a god, then the premise is false.
Theists may simply dispute the truth of the proposition, but arguments from analogy are sufficient to act as a counterpoint to the universal claim.
Argument from ignorance[edit]
In the Wikipedia or CS Lewis version, a problem of logical validity also arises. Jumping from "what we do not know" and "an object that cannot be identified" to "God exists" is an argument from ignorance. It does not logically follow.
The only way this makes sense is if you are only renaming what we do not know 'God', in a similar manner to calling an unknown variable in algebra 'x'. However simply equating god to unknown variable 'x' is not the intelligent, self-aware, all-knowing, all-seeing, all-loving creator that theists mean when they say God exists.
No specific religion[edit]
- Main Article: Which God?
There is no consistent and specific desires which we would expect if one religion were true. Desire is better explained by cognitive biases which lead to a general and unfocused predisposed to believe in gods.

Few names are as evocative as Monza, built in 1922 and for many years one of the fastest circuits. It was the first purpose-built venue to stage a grand prix and the first to charge for entry. It was also two tracks. One, a US-style oval with two straights and two heavily-banked corners (demolished in 1938) the other a facsimile of a road circuit. But while hugely popular, it was also highly dangerous. In 1928 a driver and 27 spectators were killed, and despite safety modifications, five years later three top drivers died in one race.
A new banked circuit was built in 1955 but this only staged two grands prix before being ditched because of concerns over the stresses it imposed on cars. But even the road course was unsafe, and in 1961 Wolfgang von Trips died along with 14 spectators when he crashed. Subsequent additions of chicanes reduced speeds.
Despite numerous modifications over the years to improve safety for both drivers and spectators, the circuit faces criticism for its lack of run-off especially at the Variante della Roggia corner. Despite the ongoing safety debate the circuit is still a firm favourite with fans who can always expect an action-packed high-speed race. Legendary Ferrari fans, known as the Tifosi, turn the stands to a sea of red on race day, as they cheer on their team at their local circuit.
One of the old-school of grand prix circuits Monza has a very special atmosphere; the Italians often refer to it as "La Pista Magica" or the magic track.
On September 10, 1961 Wolfgang von Trips was killed when his Ferrari collided with Jim Clark's Lotus. His car was launched into the air and he was thrown fatally from the car, which landed in the crowd, instantly killing 11 spectators.
Just nine years later at the 1970 Italian Grand Prix, Jochen Rindt died at the same track as his hero His Lotus inexplicably ploughed into a barrier at Monza during practice. Rindt became the only driver to be awarded the drivers' title posthumously.
Ronnie Peterson died from his injuries after a crash at the 1978 Italian Grand Prix. James Hunt's McLaren clipped Peterson's Lotus, sending him crashing into the barriers. Vittorio Brambilla collided with the wreckage, and the car burst into flames. Peterson's legs were badly broken and he had suffered mild burns, and he later died from his injuries in hospital.

Greetings Everyone!
How have you been? Well, I hadn't blogged in a while, as I've not had much to blog about! Last you heard, I was "done" with my embolizations and ready to move on to my reconstructive surgery! That was 10 long years of traveling to Denver to see Dr. Yakes! I probably had approx. 80 some embolizations! Unfortunately several delays have prevented my continuing my journey to get rid of this avm - the main one being that Humana (my secondary insurance) doesn't feel it's medically necessary for me to have reconstructive surgery! What? What part of my teeth are cracking, my speech and hearing is impaired, my lower lip is busted, I have facial paralysis from embolizations and coils under my chin that still need to be removed during the debulking of the fluids and tissue that would give me more of a normal appearance is Humana not understanding?! Yikes! It's not like I'm requesting a cute, turned up nose - I'd just like the one I had before to look like it used to! I'm so tired of people staring @ me like I'm a freak! Mark and I went to Joanne's Fabrics the other day to look for material to get some Halloween costumes made for Hanz and Bella - I was fed up with stares I was getting, so I loudly yelled, "Quit staring @ me, I'm not that interesting"! One of my besties suggested I have a t-shirt made that says, "It's an AVM - Google it"! Or maybe, "Settle down, it's just an AVM"! Love that idea! Thanks Felice! I was just telling my brother-in-law Jim about it and he thought it was a great idea, so wants to have the t-shirt made for me!
We've had a sad turn of events in our family! We've lost my step-father Vicente Morin on September 20th. What started off as bronchitis, went into pneumonia and he was hospitalized and discovered he also had pulmonary fibrosis. Put on a respirator as the family gathered around knowing it was only a matter of time. Vicente would have been 82 at the end of this month and he and my mom would be married 15 years in November. Right around the time of his illness, I was still trying to control my bleeds coming from capillaries in my mouth/gums that I'm waiting for the plastic surgeon to laser and/or resect! Meanwhile, I constantly have to monitor my blood pressure to keep it from going over 130/80 and that involves taking my regular HBP meds, plus Clonodine to lower it every 6 hours. My PCP gave me a new med. to take @ bedtime that would be longer lasting so I could try and get some much needed rest and not worry about getting up to take more meds if the six hours were up. Well, the new pill didn't work and I woke up a couple of nights with a bleed or blood clots in my mouth. Gross I know, but I had to pack my mouth in gauze and missed a couple days work. Even with my mouth packed, I had more bleeding seeping out of my mouth as I just sat on the couch watching TV. That was the day of Vicente's rosary that I was not able to attend - afraid of having a bleed in the middle of a large crowd of people. I still didn't have the bleeds under control to where I could attend the funeral Mass the next day. I will go to the Veterans Cemetery where Vicente is buried once his marker is put up. He was always so good to me and I considered him my ally! May he rest in peace.
Oh! Here's a cute sign mom found in a shop in a nearby town! It's rare to find anything here with Brussels stuff on it, so I was happy mom got it for us! Course our kids are cuter if I do say so myself!
My brother-in-law Jim came by earlier - he and my husband Mark have been taking some wood carving classes and I'll post a photo soon of some of their work! Jim's and Shelley were able to come to Vicente's funeral Mass so that really meant a lot to us!
I've been doing fairly well, but recently have been dealing with a bout of bronchitis. Soooo tired of hacking! Made a doctor appt. and got a shot and some meds to start getting rid of that! My PCP prescribed a different pill to take @ bedtime, hoping it would allow me to rest and not worry about getting up @ an odd hour to take a Clonodine. Nope! Didn't work! This is the second time I try to take something else - woke up @ 5 am having a minor bleed from my mouth. UGH! To boot, while the Clonodine does work, it dries my mouth so much, so I drink more water, so I need to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom - vicious cycle! Again, what part of this miserable life is Humana not understanding I need to get fixed? I do have some mouth spray made by Biotene that helps, but ugh!
So our battle of appealing the claim to Humana continues and I absolutely must try and work with my therabite to try and get my mouth open wider so the plastic surgeon and oral surgeon will be able to get some work done in my mouth in November! Sent a letter to the 7 North nurses station that takes such awesome care of me @ Swedish that I hope to see them soon! I've never been so well taken care of - they excel @ patient care and have always made me feel special! Kuddos to them! Ok, gotta go - guess who's pawing @ me to get off the computer? Hanz!
Thanks everyone for all your prayer, love and support! I know I am truly blessed and love my life (except for the avm)!
We have the two cutest furry kids in the world, I enjoy my family, friends and my work - I just want to feel well enough to function properly and enjoy a movie, eat what I want and have a drink once in a while! I miss that! With all the meds I'm taking and the bleeds, I can't risk not having all my wits about me (yes, insert joke here)! I miss the times Mark and I would play card games and drink White Russians! Mark would always say, "Hey, what about a White German"? Not well.
Went to the library earlier to return some books and pick up a few more.
I may tweak this entry again and I hope to keep updating it with some good news soon!
P.S. Saw this on Facebook and wanted to share!

What is diarrhea?
Diarrhea is the passage of feces as unformed or loose stools, usually in increased volume and frequency of passage. It is a result of increased speed of passage of fecal material through the intestine combined with decreased absorption of water, nutrients and electrolytes. Diarrhea is not a disease, but rather is a symptom of many different diseases. There are many causes of diarrhea. Diarrhea may occur as the only sign, as one of several symptoms of a more generalized disease problem, or with symptoms that result from prolonged or severe diarrhea.
How can I tell if my cat has diarrhea?
"If frequent liquid or semi-liquid stools persist for more than two days, you should consult your veterinarian."
If your normally well-trained cat suddenly starts having accidents around the house and the stools are unformed to fluid, then diarrhea is obvious. However, if the cat is still using the litter box and covering up its feces or defecates outdoors, you may not initially notice diarrhea. Staining and soiling of the fur around the back end in longhaired breeds is often associated with diarrhea. It is important to remember that some variation in the consistency of stools is occurs in normal cats. Changes in diet can lead to temporary changes in the stool. If frequent liquid or semi-liquid stools persist for more than two days, you should consult your veterinarian. If your cat is showing other signs of illness, do not wait; call your veterinarian immediately.
If you have more than one cat then it is important to try to determine if more than one cat has diarrhea.
What are some causes of diarrhea?
Diarrhea is not a disease in itself but a clinical sign that may reflect one or more of many different problems. Most involve some degree of inflammation of one or more sections of the alimentary or gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is the continuous tube that moves food from mouth to anus. Infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, coccidia, and intestinal worms, or by non-infectious irritants such as chemical toxins or poisonous plants are some of the more common causes of inflammation. Food intolerances or allergies to specific ingredients of a diet may be responsible for diarrhea.
How is the cause of diarrhea determined?
It is important to provide your veterinarian with a detailed medical history. Ideally you should write this out in chronological order before you go to the clinic. Be as detailed as possible on the date you first noticed a problem, and the progression of the clinical signs. Note any changes in the normal routine of your cat or your household. How frequent are the stools? What is the color, consistency, and smell of the feces? Is the cat showing any other signs such as vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, or loss of weight? (to help you put this history together, please see our handout called "Diarrhea Questionnaire".
Your veterinarian will usually ask you to bring a representative sample of fresh fecal material with you to your appointment. Besides a thorough clinical exam, your veterinarian may recommend additional diagnostic tests. In mild cases of diarrhea, these tests may be deferred unless initial treatment fails or the condition worsens. In-depth diagnostic tests may include blood work, stool and rectal swab samples for parasite examination and culture, radiographs, and endoscope exam.
How is diarrhea treated?
Initially, and often in advance of in-depth work-up, a non-specific approach may be adopted. For otherwise healthy adult cats, your veterinarian may advise you to withhold food for twenty-four hours (make sure you allow unlimited access to water) and then gradually reintroduce small quantities of a light, easily digestible diet. Your veterinarian will recommend the specific food that you should give your cat; this may be a commercial diet or a bland, home-prepared diet such as boiled rice or pasta with boiled skinless chicken. Antidiarrheal agents or dewormers may be prescribed in some cases. Many cases of acute diarrhea respond quite readily to this conservative treatment, allowing the body's healing mechanisms to correct the problem, without the initial cause ever being established. As the stools return to normal, the cat's regular diet can be gradually reintroduced, mixed initially with the bland rice-chicken or similar diet.
"Your cat may require more aggressive treatment based on the results of an in-depth clinical work-up."
If there is little or no improvement over two or three days, if the cat is not drinking any water or if the cat's health worsens, then your veterinarian should be notified at once. Your cat may require more aggressive treatment based on the results of an in-depth clinical work-up as outlined above. Loss of fluid is one of the most serious aspects of severe or prolonged diarrhea, and if vomiting is present, dehydration can rapidly escalate. Correcting the dehydration may require intravenous or subcutaneous fluids.
Can I use anti-diarrheal medications from the human pharmacy?
Some of the preparations recommended for people are very dangerous for cats so never use a medication without consulting your veterinarian first. Products containing acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin®) or acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol®) are extremely toxic in cats.
My cat has chronic diarrhea. Will it get better?
Chronic diarrhea that has been present longer than two to three weeks may prove more difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. Even extensive work-up does not always provide a definitive answer to the problem. However, in most cases a thorough clinical work-up, including food trials, can result in successful management of the diarrhea.

Dear Seattle Public Schools Families and Staff:
Last year was challenging because of our budget deficit, but together we demonstrated what can happen when we work together on behalf of all students and our larger community. This letter is to update you on our finalized 2017-18 budget, the Legislature's two-year budget passed in June, legislative policy changes and anticipated effects on Seattle.
On July 26, the School Board adopted the final 2017-18 budget. Thank you again to the many families and staff who helped secure a temporary extension of our local levy authority. Your advocacy resulted in a return of $24 million to our budget in April and an additional $11 million when the state budget was passed in June. We have used the funding to return positions to school buildings, purchase elementary English Language Arts materials for all schools and set aside funding to support equity investments. While we still had to cut millions last spring, with our existing balanced budget, we are prepared to offer students a great learning experience this coming school year.
Last week, legislators filed briefs with the state Supreme Court explaining how they acted to meet the court's mandate to fully fund education. Many are applauding the Legislature's budget plan and consider the work to overhaul state funding of public schools and meet the state's constitutional obligation complete. While we are pleased with the Legislature's progress, we know that the work is not done.
Our Budget and Finance Department has spent the last few weeks studying the policy changes and what they mean for our schools, students and families. The budget put forward by the Legislature does not achieve the state's paramount duty to fully fund education. It also raises taxes for Seattle homeowners, results in budget deficits for the district, limits our local ability to make ends meet and restricts how we use any new state funding received. While the Seattle legislative delegation, our families and partners fought hard to address the McCleary lawsuit and provide adequate financial support to our district, the budget plan passed by the Legislature falls short of meeting our students' needs.
Our district's budget is comprised of grants, state, local and federal dollars. Virtually our entire local education levy, supported by property taxes, is spent on staff salaries, special education and English Language Learner (ELL) services and supports. All of these education expenses and student supports should be fully funded by the state per the state constitution.
There are three key points Seattle families and staff should be aware of regarding the Legislature's budget plan:
We have grave concerns about our ability to honor local education commitments when our local levy funds will be reduced and the state will distribute the majority of new educational revenue elsewhere.
One example of our dilemma is in special education. The state's new funding formula will provide $16 million in projected "new revenue" for special education through increased property taxes paid to the state. At the same time our local levy collection will be restricted to $2,500 per student. Currently we invest close to $60 million from our local levies in special education. Even with new funding from the state, we will be left with a $40-50 million dollar annual gap for special education services and forced to look for additional funding from other critical areas or use our reduced local levy to pay for the same program and services that we have in place today.
This is just one example of how the Legislature's plan both underfunds basic education services, but also ties our hands and restricts us from sustaining our current level of support to students.
Over the next several months the Washington Supreme Court will analyze the Legislature's budget plan and determine if they met their constitutional obligation to fully fund public education. We hope the Supreme Court sees that the plan is an important first step but does not fulfill the mandate of ample school funding. We hope the Legislature remains open to understanding the real consequences of this new plan for districts across the state. We are certainly not alone in our challenges.
Again, I want to personally thank our families and staff. Last year, your focused efforts and advocacy reduced the negative impact on schools, educators and students. As we look forward to 2018-19 and beyond, our schools can't afford another significant reduction to services and supports. Our students, staff and families deserve better.
As I did last year, I will keep you updated as we learn more about the budget and the effects on Seattle Public Schools. If you have any budget related questions, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com. Other questions or concerns can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is truly a privilege and an honor to serve you. We all look forward to welcoming students and families back to school in a few weeks. I hope you enjoy these last few weeks of summer.
Warm Wishes,
Dr. Larry Nyland, Superintendent

What can you say about Jeff Whitty's zany satire "The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler"?
It's funny, for sure. And it's very well acted and costumed in Matt McGrath's lively, fast-paced production at Diversionary Theatre. But the disjointed, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink comedy is a creative mess that only entertains fitfully.
The play — which follows Ibsen's doomed heroine Hedda Gabler and Mammy, the house slave from "Gone With the Wind," on a journey to meet their makers — is overstuffed with characters, plot threads and bad songs, and it slips too often into dead zones of philosophical rambling. What saves it from total train wreck status are a great cast and the cohesive satirical tone that McGrath maintains through its zippy two hours.
"Further Adventures" begins where "Hedda Gabler" ends — with Hedda's suicide. She awakens in a bleak way station for the souls of fictional characters (the "world of infinite possibilities") and decides she'd prefer a happier ending as a real and happy person, not the miserable Norwegian housewife of theatrical fame.
So, like Dorothy from Kansas, she sets out on a journey to the "furnace of creativity" to forge a new life for herself. By her side is Mammy, who'd like to rewrite her character as a modern, free-spirited black woman. Along the way, they meet the Greek mythological characters Medea and Cassandra, two self-loathing gay men from 1970s "The Boys in the Band," the Woman in Pink from 1975's "for colored girls …," several versions of Jesus and several television, film, stage and opera characters.
The play's convoluted and not-very-well-delivered message is that these characters — as dated, stereotypical and unappealing as they may be — exist for all time, and changing them condemns them to death.
Fortunately, a solid cast keeps this leaky theatrical boat afloat. Jacque Wilke is sincere and intense as Hedda, and Yolanda Franklin is uncomfortably on the mark as the happily subservient Mammy. Luke Jacobs and Tony Houck are hilarious as Patrick and Steven, the flaming, bickering overdramatic queens from Matt Crowley's seminal gay play. Shana Wride steals all of her scenes, first as a Gloria Swanson-like Medea and then a Bette Midler-like Cassandra. Lynae DePriest glides effortlessly through a wide number of characters. Andrew Oswald is amusingly along for the ride as Hedda's abandoned hubby, George, and Dangerfield G. Moore is a preachy Jesus and the fiery Lovborg (from "Hedda").
Shirley Pierson's imaginative costumes (particularly for Medea) dress up Matt Scott's minimalist scenic design, with lighting by Michelle Caron and excellent sound by Kevin Anthenill.
"The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler"
When: 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Through April 28
Where: Diversionary Theatre, 4545 Park Blvd., University Heights

*crosses every part of his body*
Ditto to that... except the dying part. Especially the dying part.
don't worry death is only temporary for me
May the best people win. No matter what happens.
Hehe. Ditto.
It's funny because it's a Pokemon.
...Sorry. I just felt like saying that.
I know! That's why I said it! XD
@Impulse: I'll toast to that!
yes quite this is amusing and any second now the results could be announced I wonder who gets in?
We are still ironing out some things but half the field is decided, so I will post the first three accepted sheets.
Congratulations! You are the first three selected and will be on the Road to Indigo! This means only three spots will be left! Who will they go to? Tune in when we finally get stuff figured out!
Congratulations, you guys!
Congratulations, It will be interesting to see how the adult people of the rp will work with the teenagers.
Congratulations! And good luck to everyone else.
Congrats to everyone who's been accepted thus far~ =o
Yay I got in. This is the best day of my life. XD Anyway, I can't wait to get this started. :D
Excellent. As with Michi, I'm looking forward to starting this up. Already kinda planning out which Pokémon my character might obtain.
Well done everybody who was chosen, all your characters look really interesting and anybody who gets to play with you guys is very lucky.
I am glad I got accepted, and I can't wait to start. I know one Pokemon I'm already planning on getting. He's mentioned in my character's bio, for those who are curious.
congrats people!
All right, finally done, this was extremely tough. We got a lot more quality sheets then I ever expected. It was mind-breaking to try and whittle it down to the final three, but we got it done. So here are the other three who will make it into the RP.
Congratulations! You are the last three selected and will be on the Road to Indigo! Anyway, I'm going to give you all the rest of the night to plan how you want to RP in here and I should have the OP up by tomorrow! Thank you all for applying and keep reading! We may have need for expanding in the future!
Aww....thats a real big disappointment. :(.
I really wanted to do something like this, even since I was in the attempted one by PureStatic. :(.
Well...whatever, congratulations you magnificent people.
Edit: @Lizmichi: Its accepting, not excepting. *Grammar Nazi*
Damn. Oh well. Congratulations everyone! Have lots of fun on this. *Runs off crying.*
@Impluse_101 All this coming from someone that spelled impulse wrong.
@Lizmichi: I said Grammar Nazi, not spelling Nazi.
@Impulse/Lizmichi: Now now you two. If you can't play nice, I will have you sliced in half.
@Impluse_101 Technically spelling is part of proper grammar.
@NeoAC: That'll be fun once you can actually do that XD.
Oh well, Congrats still to those you made it. Really worked long on the bio...ah well.
Doesn't really matter.
@Lizmichi: Techniquly Indeed, but its my own little crazy world, and thats what matters XD.
I honestly don't give a care. I just point out random stuff because....it happens. o-o
Congratulations to everybody that was picked this looks to be a great RP.
Curses! I knew I should've baked those bribe cookies...
*Looks at first page* Alright, made it in. Gratz to all the others, and sad faces for the others. Some really good sheets came in, and I can't wait to get started with everyone.
THE ROAD TO INDIGO: CHAPTER 1: Intros and Out we Goes
"Ah yes, Pokemon League registration day! How I love it so! Fresh young faces, eager and full of life. Ready to go off on an adventure with their Pokemon. It's days like this that keep me young again." Professor Oak stood in the mirror straightening his collar. "Boy I tell you, nothing I love better than sending little kids out into the wild with nothing but tiny creatures to protect them, yessir!"
"Gramps, who are you talking to?" The Viridian City Gym leader, Gary Oak entered the room to see if his grandfather was finally ready. "There's no one in here."
"Sure there is! The Pokemon listen to me! Or at least, they will until I give them to the trainers!"
"You don't have anymore Pokemon to give away Gramps! You gave away your last one ten years ago, remember? That Bulbasaur you gave to that homeless guy? Who ended up going on a drug crazed rampage off of it's spores?"
"Oh yes, I remember now! Little Johnny was so happy. Yes, but then how will these new Trainers get their Pokemon?"
"They've already caught their own."
"Really? Kids these days. So self reliant. In my day ten year olds just sat around drooling on themselves and playing jacks."
"Christ Gramps, they aren't kids! The youngest is 15, and I'm pretty sure I saw half of them out drinking in Viridian last night!"
"My my, they grow up so fast. Well, I'm sure they will still enjoy their Pokedexes. I made them myself you know!"
"No you don't, we get them shipped in from Hoenn every time we need a batch. The last one you actually built contained nothing but dirty limericks and your grocery lists from the past two years."
"Yes well, let's get ready then. Come on downstairs...um...what was your name again?"
A nervous twitch appeared in Gary's left eye. "FOR FUCK'S SAKE OLD MAN! MY NAME IS GARY! GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK! I'M YOUR GRANDSON!"
"Oh yes! I remember now. Your name is Gary. Well let's go downstairs Gary." With that, Professor Oak began shuffling towards the stairs.
"God damn it. I shouldn't have to do this. I'm a gym leader. Where the hell's that Tracey guy? Never see him around here, he should be doing this!! Probably off scarfing down more donuts." Gary then followed his grandfather towards the stairs.
Jordan yawned as the sunlight woke him out of his little snooze on the Pallet beach. He had been in town for a few days now, doing nothing but snoozing and cruising around looking for ladies. There weren't any, except for that one lady who kept giving her looks, but she looked old enough to be his mom. He wasn't having anyone's mom like that. He had let Vince, his young Scyther, sit out of it's Pokeball on the beach. It was already well awake, chopping at the air with it's scythes. They weren't very smooth motions, but then it was only a few days old. It looked pretty good considering.
"Aaaaaaahhh. Aw man, that was such a good sleep, little Vince bro. Totally awesome. So you ready to go meet this old guy, get some thing?"
"Scyther Scy! Scyther! Scy!" Yes! Let's do it! I want to fight something! And chop it!
"Hahaha, I have no idea what you're saying little bro. OK, let's get over there then." Jordan scooped up his meager belongings and tucked them all into his sleeping bag, which doubled as his backpack. He returned Vince to its Pokeball and set out on the short trip to Oak's Laboratory, or whatever it was called.
Fary had her Zorua on her shoulder as she walked into Pallet Town. "What do you think Zorua? Nothing like back home in Black City and it's so small, so few people. But you did a good job with all the Rattata around here, wounder why there are so many." she asked her self. Zorua just yelp at her and rubbed her head on Fary.
"Hehe good girl." she said not seeing Jordan right in front on her and bumped into him falling on her ass. "Oh god watch where your going.. oh god I'm sorry." she said looking up at him.
As Terinth pushed herself off of the forest floor, she saw light streaming through the trees.
"Huh, I actually slept through an entire night for once." She mused. As she gathered up the sleeping bag she was in, she stuffed it into her backpack and took out her pokeball. "Lillipup, time to wake up." She said, releasing the pokemon from inside the contraption. As the creature took form from the red beam of light, she saw it was still sleeping. "How cute." She said as she picked it up, careful not to wake it up.
As she emerged from the forest, she saw the town was already bustling, with people going to and fro, from house-to-house. As she looked around, she saw a old man with white hair and an 18-year old emerge from a house. As she held up a picture she recived from her travels, she identified the old man as Professor Oak, the man who had asked her to come here. As she walked over, she could the teenage complaining.
"Oh hey no worries dude....ette," Jordan replied. Damn, that is not bad at all. Easily tops amongst what I've seen here. Awesome eyes. Too bad she's clumsy though. Didn't even see her coming. But damn. "Yeah no, I'm just heading to the old guy's place. Get some machine thing for some other stuff I have to do." He grabbed the girl's arm and helped her up to her feet, and finally noticed the tiny little fox sitting behind her. "Uh....what's that? Never seen anything like that before! Not even after some of those wild bonfires."
"Ah... There it is. Pallet Town," Rochelle Sanders murmured to herself, standing before the entrance to the small town. She pulled a Poké Ball from her belt and held it up to look at it. While she couldn't see inside the orb, she knew that the Horsea she had befriended was inside. "This is it, Kirsten, why I'm here. To begin the journey that Pokémon Trainers undertake across the world," she said to it, imagining the little water creature looking up at her. Sadly Rochelle couldn't keep Kirsten out of her ball for long, because she needed water in which to swim.
"Well, we aren't going to get there by standing here, are we?" Rochelle asked the Poké Ball with a laugh to herself, and jumped down from the small ledge on which she was standing. The young Trainer pushed long strands of plant life out of her way as she entered the small town, quickly spotting her intended destination: Professor Oak's Pokémon Lab.
Judging by what Rochelle saw as she walked through Pallet Town, it appeared to be a small place comparable to Mahogany Town in her native Johto except without the Gym. She wondered if they got the Johto radio programmes in this region... but her musing was interrupted as she saw someone around her age crash into another guy and fall. Stifling a giggle at the accident, she walked over to see if everything was alright. Evidently it was, as the guy quickly helped her up.
Rochelle continued walking over to the other two, staying back a little in case she was interrupting anything.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that the Emergency Communications/911 Center for Lincoln and Lancaster County has installed a new system that will allow the Center to move forward with implementing a method for locating callers using wireless phones. The new digital PBX is being used to answer and dispatch 911, fire, emergency medical and law enforcement personnel.
"With more and more people using wireless phones, it is becoming increasingly important to locate and identify those who call 911 with wireless phones," said Mayor Seng. "Updating our systems is essential to keeping residents safe and protected."
"Our analog phone system was outdated and had been at capacity for several years due to the growth of the community and the increase in wireless traffic," said Julie Righter, 911 Center Communications Coordinator. "The number of 911 calls made from wireless phones has increased more than ten times over the past decade. About 30 percent of 911 calls in the country now come from wireless phones, and that number is expected to more than double in the next few years."
Righter said locating and identifying callers is important because callers are not always able to give dispatchers the necessary details. She said the first phase of wireless locating implementation will provide 911 dispatchers with the telephone number of the caller. The second phase will provide dispatchers with the location of the caller within 100 meters. The Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) is currently developing a statewide plan for deployment of wireless locating. The PSC provides funding for new technology through the wireless surcharge assessed by all wireless carriers.
The Center's new PBX system also is integrated with a digital mapping system which was funded by the City's Capital Improvement Program earlier this year.
The Emergency Communications/911 Center is staffed by 35 full-time, public service dispatchers who answer multiple phone calls, monitor several radio channels and track the status of all emergency units. The Center is one of only 32 in the country accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.

Another week in gaming has passed, and with it came a hearty mix of stories, including the revelation that Duke Nukem 3D is every bit as awesome as it used to be, the spilling of new details on the DS remake of Chrono Trigger, and the news that the gorgeous Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica fame would be lending her voice to the next Spiderman game. Here are the top stories for the week:
Duke Nukem 3D is as good as you remember. Hail to the king. A revival of the old Duke Nukem classic hit the Xbox Live Arcade this week, and we've dug in. Without spoiling the surprise, let's just say this is one game that we'll continue to say "Shake it, baby" to.
Xbox Live going down for upgrade preparation. To prep for the forthcoming Xbox Experience interface overhaul coming later this fall, Microsoft will be taking Xbox Live down on Monday. An extra day's credit will be tacked on to the end of everyone's gold membership.
PlayStation 3 video DRM: two strikes and you're out. After some diligent testing, Ben and some of our readers have discovered that PS3 owners will need to be careful with the content they download from the Video Store, as deleted DRM-clad videos can only be restored once.
Molyneux's next project is "very, very, different." The always-charismatic Peter Molyneux spoke out this week about his new project now that work on Fable II is winding down. According to Molyneux, his new game is a "simple and pure idea, and very, very different to anything I've done before."
Chrono Trigger remake adds a little Pokemon. Some new details about the upcoming DS remake of one of if not the best SNES games of yore have slipped out. Apparently, players will be able to participate in a brand new, Pokemon-style mini-game in addition to fighting through time.
Some other interesting stories from the week gone by:
- Best transformer EVER: the home bar that's an arcade machine. What could possibly make a fancy home bar better? Arcade games built into it, that's what.
- Tricia Helfer playing Black Cat in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Everyone's favorite Cylon has been cast as a voice actress for the upcoming Spider-Man game.
- Capcom shows off NES-style Mega Man 9 cart. In case you missed it last week, Capcom released a limited edition, NES-styled package for its latest Mega Man title.
- Wario Land: Shake It is a classic, simple romp. We've taken the latest big-name Wii release, Wario Land: Shake It, for a spin and it's beautiful.
- Rock Pedal for Rock Band: an Omega Pedal killer? Our rhythm game guru Ben reviewed another drum pedal solution for Rock Band this week.

An occasional feature in which we spotlight the ridiculous trend of recontextualized basketball jerseys. Today: The Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal.
Player: Shaquille O'Neal
Team: '90s Lakers
Ubiquity: Low
Scene: That Harvard party we visited previously.
Unnecessarily Decimaled Score Out Of 10: 8.8
Analysis: Well, you can see pretty clearly what's happening here. They both seem to be enjoying themselves, that's what's important. But before you ask: Yes. Ladies is hoopsters too. Pluses in her favor: those Laker jerseys were much cooler than the ones they have now.
Verdict: Poorly executed Jay-Z allusions aside, this seems like a hoopster to my completely subjective eyes.


text: Insurance law is a field which demands apt knowledge of tort and convention before addressing the legislative environment. The lawyers in Nampa are required to assist the client with issues like policy amendment, wide range of claims, negotiating settlements, etc. One of the most critical part in insurance law is disputed/ denied insurance claims and many of such cases in Nampa end up in courts. In case of disputed/ denied insurance claims, the lawyer in Nampa is required to assist the client by advising on contract works, legal liability, etc. Along with this, the client should also be aware of operation of insurance policies and how the best outcome can be achieved. Insurance coverage in Nampa is defined as a legal and financial security against potential future harm. The most important form of insurance coverage is Health insurance, Life insurance, Property insurance, Business insurance, Liability coverage, Disability insurance coverage. The lawyers are expected to be available to discuss the coverage or claims and provide education and resources to help the clients. To get the best service from the lawyer, the client should provide complete information upfront to the lawyer so that the concern can be addressed in an appropriate manner and the client can avail benefits from the case.

This climate is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. This climate type is found on the eastern sides of the continents between 20° and 35° N and S latitude. In summer, these regions are largely under the influence of moist, maritime airflow from the western side of the subtropical anticyclonic cells over low-latitude ocean waters. Temperatures are high and can lead to warm, oppressive nights. Summers are usually somewhat wetter than winters, with much of the rainfall coming from convectional thunderstorm activity; tropical cyclones also enhance warm-season rainfall in some regions. The coldest month is usually quite mild, although frosts are not uncommon, and winter precipitation is derived primarily from frontal cyclones along the polar front.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa". (Humid Subtropical Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Greenville is 57.4°F (14.1°C). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 77.6°F (25.3°C). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 35.5°F (1.9°C).
The highest recorded temperature in Greenville is 111.0°F (43.9°C), which was recorded in August. The lowest recorded temperature in Greenville is -19.0°F (-28.3°C), which was recorded in January.
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Greenville is 47.6" (1209 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is March with 5.0" (127 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is October with an average of 3.0" (76.2 mm). There are an average of 106.0 days of precipitation, with the most precipitation occurring in March with 11.0 days and the least precipitation occurring in August with 7.0 days.
In Greenville, there's an average of 9.9" of snow (0 cm). The month with the most snow is January, with 3.4" of snow (8.6 cm).

I have had exciting chances more than once this week to learn through nature.
One of the things I love about gardening is the frequent opportunity to learn something new. I have had that exciting chance more than once this week.
A visit to the home of an outstanding gardener gave me the chance to learn new particulars about chestnuts. A few years ago American chestnuts (Castanea dentata) were well known in the eastern U.S. In the 1950s, chestnut blight killed most American chestnut trees. Chinese chestnuts (Castanea mollissima) are grown as an alternative because there are known blight resistant varieties.
The Chinese chestnut tree is a spreading, medium-sized tree with glossy dark leaves bearing large crops of nutritious nuts. They have attractive white catkins in late May and early June. Nuts are borne inside spiny burs that split open when nuts are ripe. Burs usually contain three shiny, dark brown nuts. The nut in the middle position is flattened on two sides. Nuts inside the leathery shell and papery seed coat have creamy colored meat.
Chestnuts are a healthy, low-fat food that can be enjoyed raw (some varieties) or used in many dishes. Recipes using chestnuts include stuffing, casseroles and desserts, and dried chestnuts can be ground into flour. Many creatures besides humans enjoy eating chestnuts, including deer, blue jays, turkeys, bears, voles, mice, squirrels and raccoons. Deer also eat the foliage and stems of chestnuts.
My second amazing discovery was the large yellow flowers on a large clump of elephant ears. Further investigation gave me an astonishing new understanding of green tree frogs. I inspected the clump of elephant ears because I saw what I thought must be yellow foliage down under the huge leaves. Instead, I found more than 12 banana-yellow flowers shaped similar to a peace lily flower.
The elephant ear is in the same family as peace lily and anthurium. The blooms are technically called spaths which is a modified leaf (bract) enclosing a fleshy spike of tiny flowers (spadix). If the flowers are pollinated, tiny �berries� will form along the spadix and can be planted outdoors in spring. The plant is usually propagated by the corm, which grows below the ground.
Hiding in the shade of the modified leaf of the spath was a bright green tree frog. The frog could hunt for flying insects from his protected spot on the elephant ear flower. He blended quite well into his surroundings, hidden from the casual eye.
Are you looking for opportunities to learn and discover as you garden? It seems that every season gives us the chance.

BCBG bikini, F21 shorts, Pucci scarf, LOVECOCO bracelets
All packed and ready to go! The boy and I are leaving tomorrow to embark on new adventures in Europe. We'll be visiting 8 different places so packing light was pretty much impossible. I really didn't need to pack 3 pairs of shorts in bright solids but since I couldn't decide among coral, yellow, and turquoise, all 3 it is! Italy will surely inspire me and Turkey will be unforgettable. And the Greek Islands... what can I say! I hope to come home relaxed, renewed and ready to take on the world.
I'll be micro-blogging throughout my trip. Follow my journey on Twitter & Instagram @CarolinaCFON :)


text: I was at the mall last week and spotted a super hot girl leaving and looking very stressed. She was desperately looking for a job and could not find anything. I saw she was very down so I offered her a ride home. It took a little convincing, but she eventually jumped in. She told me rent was coming up and she was stuck. I told her I had extra cash if she wanted to show me the goods and she was all ears. After I saw Jasmine Delatori's perfect rack, she wanted to know what else she could do for more money. Before long she was going balls deep and blowing me like a champ. I just had to fuck this girl, so I dropped more money and took her home. You don't want to miss this hottie getting nailed and screaming for more cock. This one's a classic.
