Cutting Edge
** The Cutting Edge quilt pattern is now available in my shop! **
I was lucky enough this year to have the opportunity to make two quilts for display at Spring Quilt Market. I designed the first quilt to showcase Free Spirits Essentials line. You may remember this fabric photo? Well that stack of fabric became this quilt.
The Cutting Edge quilt is made up of six columns of staggered flying geese, each displaying various shades and prints of one of the colors in the rainbow. I created a paper piecing template for this quilt so everything would match up perfectly. I never thought I'd say it, but I do love paper piecing!
I took some photos while the quilt was in progress...basting...
The quilting is straight lines which echo the flying geese. The turning of the quilt at the points was kind of a pain, but worth the effort.
The quilt measure 54" x 54" and the backing and binding is a black and white Houndstooth.
I didn't go to Quilt Market this time but my good friend Lee did and she took a picture for me! I also wrote a pattern for this quilt that was handed out at Quilt Market, but I haven't seen it available online yet. If and when it does appear, I will update this post with a link. :)

New Randolph Superintendent of Schools Thomas Anderson unveiled his comprehensive "entry plan," detailing his role for improving the district, currently a Level 4, or underperforming, district as defined by the state Department of Education.
The superintendent�s plan dovetails with the district's Accelerated Improvement Plan, which targets areas of weakness in student performance.
Anderson touched upon five broad "transition steps" - to listen, learn, share, build, and plan - for Level 1 education in Randolph.
One of the key goals of the entry plan is to develop a comprehensive view of the school system in relation to the community as a whole, and what steps are necessary to promote positive change and learning goals.
Among the superintendent's main objectives is creating an organization in alignment with available resources, develop and support "cohesive governance teams," foster a "positive climate of continual improvement," and increase organizational effectiveness and "operational accountability."
Anderson said part of his job will be to establish a "positive learning focused culture" that centers on student achievements.
"There is no ceiling on what our students should be able to achieve," he said.
School committee member Bruce Pontbriand praised the superintendent's focus on technological proficiency.
"It's not enough to be a mechanic," he said. "You have to be technologically (proficient) wherever you go. This type of learning is where we are going."
Outgoing chairman Emmanuel Mecha said the entry plan describes much of what the district has been striving to achieve over the last several years.
"I hope that this time around we can say, yes, we have a product," he said. "For me, the highest of all is the technology."
"The endgame is to maximize opportunities (for students) when it comes time to apply to college," Anderson said.
In other business...
Assistant Superintendent Darcy Fernandes announced that the state recently approved the district's AIP initiatives for 2014-15.
Fernandes said more than 50 staff contributed to the plan as a "real guiding coalition for its development."
This year's continuation of the AIP will focus on literacy improvements, making effective use of tools provided by the state, and continuing to look at "tiered systems" to support children.
"Our goal is to build capacity within our teachers," Fernandes said.

Avail Short Term Cash Advances With Limited Legal Formalities
The unpredictable market condition has made it almost necessary for people to resort to various kinds of loans. However, earlier availing debts was very difficult because of their long formalities and complex terms and conditions. In contrast to this, a number of easy finance possibilities have cropped up to help the people to meet their immediate emergency monetary needs. In this context, the short term cash advances caters the needs of the middle class people and allow them to meet their immediate expenses. What is most impressive about these finances is the fact that they are easily available and can be availed without long formalities or complex terms and conditions.
Today such loans have become very common because of the rise in uncertainty in life. A number of middle class as well as upper middle class people have started depending on such debts to prepare themselves for the unforeseen circumstances. Earlier, people had this misconception that resorting to bank borrowings could often turned out to be risky venture due to the pressure of repayments. But with the introduction of such short term cash advances, one can easily avail necessary finances for the emergency situations like medical needs, educational needs, paying off outstanding debts and many more.
One of the most striking feature of these finances is that they are unsecured in nature and do not require any pledge of security in the form of car, house or other property. This has actually proved very advantageous for the middle class people, who can now avail such debts in spite of not having enough property to be pledged as security. Hence, such financial sources have become more exposed to the people in UK.
Another plus point of these advances lies in the fact that these borrowings can be availed even by those who have low credit history. This means that even if you have defaulted payments for a couple of times in the past, then also you can avail finances from banks as and when required. Now, since these short term loans do not require any security pledging, therefore, they takes less processing time. These debts are getting very popular, as they offer easy repayment schemes which do not affect the savings of the people and reduce the pressure from the borrowers. However, in spite of having favourable terms and conditions these borrowings also involve certain criteria to be fulfilled by the users.
First of all, anyone who wishes to avail such finances must be a citizen of UK and must be minimum 18 years of age. Other than this, the borrowers must have a valid bank account so that the bank can transfer the loan amount directly to their account. The borrowers should also be working for at least a period of 6 months and should earn a handsome salary in order to avail such debts.
These short term cash advances with its favourable terms and conditions have come as saviours for those who cannot afford to avail long term loans because of the legal formalities and security pledging. Therefore, these finances have become highly popular among all class of people, especially the middle class, due to their liberal terms and conditions.

Liberty News
Snowflex Centre attracts professionals for third-annual Dew Games
UPDATE (April 29): Despite inclement weather, the third-annual Dew Games was a success. Liberty alumnus Tim Steltzer, originally from Maine, took first place in both the ski rail jam and big air. Professional snowboarder and X Games participant Ryan Paul won the snowboard rail jam and big air competitions. The top female rider was Jessica Woody, a Liberty student and an instructor at Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre. The event was streamed live on LMSC's webpage and Facebook page. One Facebook fan said they watched the competition from Indonesia.
Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre is holding its third-annual Dew Games on Saturday, April 28, drawing some of the best riders on the East Coast who will compete for $10,000 in cash prizes.
The event will feature a household name in the snowboard industry, Kevin Pearce, who was training for the Olympic Games when he suffered a traumatic brain injury. Now back in the business, Pearce will be the host for the event.
As the only year-round slope of its kind in North America, Snowflex has become a popular attraction for competitions. With a mild winter behind them, skiers and snowboarders from Colorado, Canada and all over the East Coast will be traveling to Virginia this weekend for the Dew Games.
"This is the only one this time of year for skiing and snowboarding," said Drew Sherwood, general manager of the Snowflex Centre. "We have a wide range of competitors: 7- and 8-year-olds, men and women, adults, kids, college kids, non-college kids … people are still really hungry and thirsty for competition, so we're going to be expecting more riders to going to come out and try to qualify."
Among the competitors is professional snowboarder Ryan Paul. The 21-year-old X Games participant emerged in the snowboard scene in 2010 when he won the West Coast Invitational.
The Dew Games will have four categories of competition: skiers rail jam, snowboarders rail jam, skiers big air and snowboarders big air. The rail jam will feature a complex, custom-made rail for the competition that is fixed with LED lights.
Those who qualify on the morning of the competition will have the chance to compete against other finalists for cash prizes: $1,500 for first place, $700 for second and $300 for third in each category.
There will be free drinks from Mountain Dew and vendors and prizes available for spectators, who are invited to come out and watch all day. Registration and warm-ups begin at 9 a.m., and the winners will be announced at midnight.

Reusing and Repurposing Everyday Items
Reusing sits above recycling in the hierarchy of the three Rs — reduce, reuse, and recycle — because it doesn't require any extra energy for reprocessing and because it cuts down on the need to buy new. The aim is to use items for as long as possible, for as many different uses as possible, or by as many people as possible, before they have to be recycled or disposed of.
Sometimes you can't reuse items in the same way you've been using them because they're too worn out for that purpose, but you can often find a new purpose for an item, adapting it however you need to.
Here are some ideas to get you thinking creatively about how to reuse or repurpose some common items:
If an item is too far gone to wear or repair, cut it into rags for cleaning, dusting, or washing vehicles. Women, you can turn old pantyhose into plant supports for the garden. Simply cut off the legs, loop them around plant stems or branches, and then tie them off to stakes.
2Food bags
Instead of discarding plastic food storage bags after one use, wash them in hot soapy water and reuse them unless they've been in contact with meat — raw or cooked.
3Gift bags and gift wrap
Fold gift paper and bags carefully so that they store easily and live to wrap again, and cut gift tags from old cards.
4Glass jars
Glass jars can hold nails and screws in the workshop or leftovers in the fridge.
Put paper used only on one side through your printer again for rough drafts, use it for notepaper, or give it to your children to use as drawing paper. You probably use more paper more than you realize: grocery lists, maps to show your significant other how to get somewhere, reminders to the kids, and so on.
You can line recycling boxes, drawers, and cat litter trays with newspapers, magazines, and junk mail instead of plastic liners. (Doesn't your cat deserve the posh images from that upscale museum catalog?)

According to the definition provided in Wikipedia:
"Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable communication techniques. Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue. "
Social media is everywhere, from email to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. As the web 2.0 was unleashed, communication and co-ordination with friends got easier. Now people around the world can see what their friends and family are doing and which things they are enjoying as they perform their daily chores.
The latest tools of today enable users to communicate with people well beyond their social circuit and well beyond their limits. Hence, the collaboration and co-ordination as well as the ability to convey one's feelings have dramatically increased. Using these tools, everybody can be a publisher whether he knows how to use the tools effectively and target the intended audience.
The internet is turning into a big party where everyone shares ideas and experiences, be it interior design ideas or game room designs.
So if you are using the social media and sharing your decorating ideas, you are part of the online family and invited to the part. However, if you under estimate the social media, you are not welcome at the party which means you wouldn't be a part of the audience altogether.
The members of the interior design industry apart from some prominent figures from major cities like Los Angeles interior designers and New York interior designers have not fully understood the advantages of social media which can be reaped by them easily. It has been observed that interior designers usually make a single web page on a free template and give their email address, and hence, mitigate the chances of prospective customers finding them.
Here are some tips to use social media effectively for your interior design business:
Identify target market
Identifying what your target market will be is very important. Remember that the current circle of people knowing you is minutiae as compared to the networking possibilities available on the net.
See where your customers are spending time online
Analyze carefully as to where your current and prospective customers are spending time online. Target the places where most of them are spending their time..
Engage your audience
Keep your audience engaged in various activities and interesting discussions, this helps them to understand you and vice versa.
Build an online PR
Build a solid online PR and make sure you give attention to queries of your customers.
You can write a blog about your current and previous projects. Moreover, you can provide illustrations to make sure that potential customers can see your work, admire it and hire you in future.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
If you have a dedicated site, and a keyword search on a search engine does not return your site on top, use SEO tools to fine tune your site and improve its search engine ranking.

As dire as news coming from Research in Motion is these days, Waterloo Region has a large number of technology companies actively hiring. We're really fortunate to have such a variety of local companies here in the Region, and the support of Communitech.
Communitech also has a tech jobs website, http://www.waterlootechjobs.com. This past month, I attended the Waterloo TechVibe Recruitment Event, where a number of local companies were recruiting. How did that work out? After the event, I was in different stages of the interview process with six companies, before accepting a position at Desire2Learn.
I was really impressed by the variety and quality of companies we have in Waterloo Region. We are far more than just the headquarters of RIM. From radiology workflow solutions at Medicalis, to financial account management at Arius Software, to cross-platform mobile voice solutions such as Fongo, the market is definitely hopping.
While it's true that when people think of Waterloo Region technology companies, RIM is often the first company that comes to mind, there are also local Google offices, as well as OpenText.
While many companies in the region are in the mobile space, such as Kik and enflick, we also have good representation in the medical and financial services fields.
So while the wind may be out of the sails at RIM, the economic outlook for Waterloo Region is still very good, as noted in a recent article in the Waterloo Region Record on a report by the Conference Board of Canada. Will job cuts at RIM hurt? Without a doubt. But the benefit is a more diverse region, where smaller companies are not struggling to find the talent that in the past several years has been going to RIM.
Waterloo Region also has great support for technology startups. Communitech has their Hyperdrive program, Waterloo has the Accelerator Centre, and the University of Waterloo has a Velocity incubator. All of these programs offer entrepreneurs with space and access to established mentors, to help build their businesses. While these don't provide large employment numbers now, they do provide opportunities for those in the region.

This is a period of uncertainty for fee-based independent financial advisors. On the one hand, 'robo advisors' are seeing some success in attracting assets with their consumer friendly interfaces, readily accessible data and low-cost approach. On the other hand, aging Baby Boomers are increasingly turning to advisors for long-term care (LTC) planning and elder care information, advice that requires specialized expertise.
The result of these trends is increased fee pressure combined with the challenge of how to get paid for providing healthcare or elder care advice, which differ from a traditional fee-based model. My belief is that the underlying demographic shifts and technological change at the heart of these trends are here to stay. So too, is the 'squeeze' on traditional advisory business models. If you agree, then the question to consider becomes how to profitably expand your independent advisory business in the face of these headwinds.
The Case for Healthcare Planning
Assessing the demographics of your current and future clients is the first step in thinking about healthcare planning services and your business model. "Look at the demographics of your client base and the clients you want to acquire," says financial and eldercare expert Mary Lesko. "What are their ages? Do I have inter-generational clients? Do they have access to an employee assistance program?"
Mary, a CFP and CLTC, and who is a financial and eldercare expert and the Principal of Long Life Matters, tells me that the size of your firm, the demographics of your clients and whether the principals see healthcare planning as an issue will determine whether it becomes a service offering or something that is offered on an ad hoc basis when clients request it.
"When you are talking about healthcare planning it makes a huge difference whether you include long term care planning, as it ups the ante significantly," says Mary. "Basic healthcare costs are just another expense item to budget," she adds. Consensus estimates of healthcare expenses for a retired couple range from $200K to $300K. However, even that amount doesn't take into consideration potential long-term-care needs.
According to Mary, "One in eight people have Alzheimer's, and that number is projected to triple by 2050. People are living longer." When LTC enters the equation, Mary advises her clients to think of it as caring for an infant or small child. Daycare and supervision costs come into play in addition to the financial aspects.
Choosing a Business Model That Works
Healthcare planning is complex. The decision on what level your firm will support it requires careful consideration. To get started, don't think of it making a binary "yes" or "no" decision. I asked Mary to give advisors a range of options for helping clients in these types of situations:
- Increase your clients' awareness of the issue
- Collaborate or form strategic alliances
- Build a commission-sharing referral base
- Develop in-house expertise or bring someone in house to provide advice
Option 1: Educate Your Clients on Healthcare
A straightforward way to increase your clients' awareness of the issues related to healthcare and long-term care planning is to insist that healthcare costs are part of the financial planning equation. "Make it part of your annual review with clients," Mary advises. You could also provide content about these issues in your client newsletter or provide speakers on the topics at client events. She says "Buying LTC insurance for yourself is another way to become educated on what's involved and then share your knowledge with clients." Advising on healthcare in a rapidly changing market, and helping your clients plan for the unexpected, can be challenging. Maura Carley, president and CEO of Healthcare Navigation, LLC recently discussed key issues in healthcare planning for 2014 in a short podcast.
Option 2: Collaborate or Make Strategic Alliances
According to Mary, selling long-term care insurance is challenging and time consuming. The insurance can be costly, and requires a lot of client education. Once a client has selected a LTC insurance provider, the application process can be challenging, especially if the client has medical issues. For this reason being connected with qualified agents that sell LTC policies can be helpful.
You'll also want connections to elder law attorneys and geriatric care managers. Mary has a client now with an elderly mother who needs daily supervision. She is looking at paying $80 per day for daycare, which is only available five days per week. "A geriatric care manager can act as a quarterback, especially for medical issues," Mary says. For a list of resources you can turn to see a new guide: Healthcare Resources for Financial Professionals
No. 3: Build a Referral Base
Going a step farther than referring your clients to specialized providers would be establishing a commission sharing arrangement. For those of you with insurance licenses, these types of arrangements would provide additional revenue.
No. 4: Develop Expertise or Bring It In-House
The most intensive option would be to develop or bring the expertise in house. "Negotiating health insurance coverage and long-term care issues can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming," says Mary. "If your clients have significant assets, they may already be connected with the appropriate legal and insurance providers. However, for firms that focus on the middle market, their clients are most in need of this expertise. "Health and long-term care are emotional issues. Unless you can sell additional product, advisors aren't likely to make additional revenue."
There's no single 'right' or 'wrong' answer here. It's clear, however, that with thousands of Baby Boomers retiring annually the need for specialized advice on healthcare and elder care isn't going to wane. As an independent financial advisor you'll have to decide whether you want to wade into these waters gingerly or dive in head first.

Tease while you tone your vaginal and pelvic muscles for heightened pleasure and control and stronger orgasms! Premium-quality, innovative weighted and shaped Kegel exercisers allow you to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscles and have a pleasurable time doing it. Each of the three body-safe silicone exercisers is weighted and shaped differently, with smooth, soft surfaces and flexible, squeezable midsections. Tug gently on the soft yet solid silicone cord to add stimulation and resistance. The waterproof set of three comes in an attractive ribbon-tie storage box with instructions for use.
When exercising your PC (aka Kegel) muscles with a resistive device, or via any other method, remember that the correct way to exercise a muscle is not to simply tighten it. You must also relax that muscle, not only for maximum flexibility and functionality, but also to avoid injury. Our pelvic floor consultant suggests a maximum of 30 reps a day, remembering to fully relax each time.

As said in the title I am new to kegel exercisers. These are my first ones and I am still exploring them. I haven't made it to the 3rd weight yet. I like the smooth silicone and flexibility of the medium and heavier weights. It is a bit awkward inserting and taking them out, but once in, they are comfortable. I like the way the strings are, it makes it easy to pull down for resisting exercises. Easy to clean and love that it is a set.
These balls are really easy to use. the silicone is really grippy which means a little lube can help to get them in. using regularly will really help me streghten my vagina which im sure my partner would love. they're really soft and make exercise feel good.
the little moving balls inside the second one also make it a little more extra fun while playing!
But, since you have to buy them as a set I will rate them one at a time:
1) Large ball- Really challenging to insert when not excited (I had to use lube) and once it's in is not going anywhere. A waste of money and not a workout. (1/5)
2) The two balls rattle around and feel very nice. Still not much of a workout but the mild vibrations are fun (3/5)

Related Product Information
The Anti-V5 Antibody allows detection of recombinant proteins containing the V5 epitope. This epitope is found in the P and V proteins of the paramyxovirus, SV5 (Southern et al., 1991). The Anti-V5 Antibody recognizes the 14 amino acid sequence:
Detailed protocols for using the antibody are in the technical manual available or in published references (Ausubel et al., 1994; Harlow & Lane, 1988).
The Anti-V5 Antibody (R960-25) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody. Anti-V5-HRP Antibody (R961-25) is prepared by crosslinking the Anti-V5 Antibody with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) using glutaraldehyde.
Sufficient antibody (50 μl) is supplied to perform 25 western immunodetections (assuming 10 ml buffer per blot).
Storage Buffer: 1X phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.01% sodium azide
Storage: Store at 4ºC. For long-term storage, aliquot the antibody
and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freezing and
Stability: 6 months at 4ºC
Both antibodies have been tested in immunoblotting and ELISA procedures. Low background was observed using chemiluminescent or alkaline phosphatase reagents for detection. In western blot experiments with purified protein, 25 ng (for Anti-V5 Antibody) or 50 ng (for Anti-V5-HRP Antibody) of recombinant Positope™ protein (Catalog no. R900-50) gave a detectable signal using a standard immunoblotting protocol (refer to the technical manual available). The Anti-V5 Antibody has also been used successfully to immunoprecipitate fusion proteins that contain the V5 epitope.
Using chemiluminescence as the detection method, no crossreactivity is observed in bacterial lysates. In mammalian lysates, a few crossreactive proteins are observed upon overexposure of blots.
Recommended Dilutions
We recommend the following dilutions of the supplied antibody for these applications:
For western blots, dilute 1:5000 into PBS or Tris-Buffered Saline (TBS) containing 0.05% Tween-20 and 5% nonfat, dry milk (PBSTM or TBSTM).
For ELISA assays, serially dilute into PBSTM or TBSTM and test various dilutions to determine the best antibody dilution for your application. If you use a different buffer for washing and blocking your blots, dilute as described above with that buffer. You may use other blocking agents such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) or gelatin.
If you use azide in your HRP-conjugated antibody dilution buffers, wash the western blot or microtiter wells thoroughly before adding the color development solution. Azide inhibits HRP activity. If you use alkaline phosphatase-conjugated secondary antibody, do not use PBS. Phosphate inhibits alkaline phosphatase. Use TBS instead.
Detailed protocols for western and dot blotting, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining are described in the technical manual available from our website or contact Technical Support.
Product Qualification
The Anti-V5 Antibody and the Anti-V5-HRP Antibody are functionally tested by western blot as follows:
Anti-V5 Antibody
The antibody must react specifically with 50 ng of an E. coli expressed fusion protein containing a V5 epitope. Western blots must reveal a strong signal, with no nonspecific background, after a 5-minute development with a chromogenic substrate.
Anti-V5-HRP Antibody
The antibody must react specifically with 20 ng of an E. coli expressed fusion protein containing a V5 epitope. Western blots must reveal a strong signal, with no nonspecific background, after development with a chemiluminescent substrate followed by a 1 minute exposure to x-ray film.

Recently signed blocking tight end Mike McNeill has five career receptions -- three more than the entirety of the current Carolina Panthers wide receiving corps.
After losing Steve Smith to the Baltimore Ravens, Ted Ginn to the Arizona Cardinals, Brandon LaFell to the New England Patriots and missing out on hometown hero Hakeem Nicks to the Indianapolis Colts, the Panthers are thinking about adding a wide receiver with 437 career catches.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery will visit the Panthers on Monday, Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
Cotchery was a college star at N.C. State, so it would be a bit of a homecoming if he signs.
Turning 32 in June, Cotchery is ideally suited for the No. 3 receiver role on a contender. The problem in Carolina is that there are not two wide receivers better than him on the roster.
The expectation in Pittsburgh has been that Cotchery will end up re-signing after leading the team with 10 touchdown receptions last season. Perhaps he's simply setting his market value before bringing the offer back to the Steelers.
UPDATE: Cotchery left his meeting with Carolina on Tuesday without a contract, The Charlotte Observer reports. The 10-year veteran wide receiver will choose between the Panthers and Steelers.

Non-fatal: Boxer story highlights a scourge
If one thing is clear from the recent dog abuse case in which a boxer was allegedly dropped 27-feet from a bridge onto railroad tracks with her front legs bound, it is this: Charlottesville doesn't take kindly to animal abuse.
By Monday, August 11, the reward for information leading to the perpetrator had shot up to $15,000– nearly as much as the $20,000 reward offered for the serial rapist– and even activists with animal rights group PETA were amazed by the outpouring of support for the dog.
"We received many calls from local residents who were upset by the incident," says PETA spokesperson Jean Gaultier. After looking into it, PETA decided to offer a $5,000 reward.
"This is the kind of case we prioritize," he says, "because the person that did this is still at large the community is not safe as long as this guy is still out there."
The condition of the dog and the injuries she sustained conjure up a hideous picture of long-term neglect, finalized by a brutal act of violence.
Dr. Michael Rose, a veterinarian at Monticello Animal Hospital, was among the first to see the dog, who was brought in by animal control officers after being discovered by railroad workers.
"My technician," he recalls, "who is usually a strong person, was in the room crying and saying, 'I can't believe someone could do something so awful to an animal.'"
Along with a significant head wound (though not a gunshot wound, as has been reported) and fractured teeth, both tibia bones in the animal's back legs were broken. Rose feels it's unlikely that happened in the fall.
"The breaks were symmetrical," says Rose, suggesting that someone had struck her across the legs.
In addition to the trauma, Rose says the dog– found July 24 on Norfolk Southern tracks in southern Albemarle– was underweight, dehydrated, and had three types of intestinal parasites. Despite all this, Rose says she was "very easy" to work with.
And, unlike many other animal abuse stories, this one has a happy ending.
After a television segment on the dog aired, Rose says he was inundated with calls including one from Jan Bas Van Beek, a local real estate agent whose family loves boxers. Not only did Van Beek want to give the dog a loving home, his brother-in-law, Dr. Ed Fallin, is a veterinarian at the Veterinary Referral and Critical Care hospital in Goochland County.
Before Rose knew it, Van Beek had arranged for the boxer he named Britta to receive the orthopedic surgery she needed in order to have a full recovery.
Though Van Beek was not available to return calls before presstime, his brother-in-law Fallin says it's like a fairy tale.
"It's a super dog going to a super guy and his wife," he says, "She'll be incredibly well cared for."
As happy as he is about Britta, Fallin says he hopes people realize she's just a drop in the bucket.
"So many animals succumb to abuse on a day to day basis," he says.
It's an issue he wishes people would take more seriously because violent criminals often start out as animal abusers.
"If a person has so much anger that he or she is committing violence toward animals," says forensic psychologist Dr. John Boyd, "that anger can spill over into other areas of their life."
While most animal abusers don't end as serial killers, he says there should still be concern.
"The idea here," says Boyd, who consults on criminal cases throughout the state, "is if someone has completely lost control of their ability to contain anger and rage, they're in big trouble– and so are we because they're the people who tend to commit acts of violence indiscriminately."
Anyone with information on the case should call the shelter at 973-5959 or the Albemarle County Police at 977-9041. All calls will be kept confidential.

The first two ingredients are named meat products.
Use of low quality grain and other controversial fillers.
This product has two named meat ingredients at the head of the ingredient list, one of which is in meal form. We note that these two are different forms of the same ingredient (see note about splitting on the main page). In this instance, however, that serves to increase confidence that there is a respectable amount of meat product in the food as the meat ingredients still rate above the first grain even in their split form.
The second ingredient is a low quality grain product. Corn is a problematic grain for dogs and is the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. Corn gluten meal is a grain fraction the AFFCO definition of this ingredient is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed.
Brewers rice is the fourth ingredient in the food. It is a low quality grain and by-product. Brown rice is a good quality grain, but we would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than dried egg product.
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
We prefer not to see brewers yeast used in dog food, and this can contribute to yeast infections. Rice hulls is filler (the outer casing of rice). Salmon meal is a good ingredient, as are apples and blueberries, but these occur a long way down the ingredient list and are only a very minor addition to the food.
Overall, we are reasonably happy with the amount of meat product in the food and there is more than many other foods in this class. It is the use of low quality grains and other problematic fillers that contributes to the low rating this food receives.

In SN 42.13 rebirth is still to be included as a part of the disciple's contemplation:danieLion wrote:Thank you for reminding me of this. The Pataliya Sutta is found in the Samyutta Nikaya 42.13, where the Buddha tells Pataliya the Headman not worry about rebirth becuase the law of karma is not always visible here and now. The Buddha instead instructs him to focus on "abandoning" which is comprised of cultivating sila and sati, and developing samadhi.daverupa wrote:And rebirth has nothing to do with the practice, as Pāṭaliya was instructed.
- He reflects thus, '... since I am restrained in body, speech, and mind, and since, with the breakup of the body, after death, I shall be reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world.' [As he reflects thus] gladness is born. When one is gladdened, rapture is born. When the mind is elated by rapture the body becomes tranquil. One tranquil in body experiences happiness. The mind of one who is happy becomes concentrated.

As I mentioned in last week's post about the PhoneSoap – Charge and Sanitize Your cell phone (UPDATE: The Kickstarter project is fully funded and PhoneSoaps are going to production.) post, I'm going to try and reserve Friday for what I'm calling Healthcare Gadget Friday. Today we're going to look at the GammaTech Durabook U12C.
Here's the official description of the GammaTech Durabook U12C:
GammaTech's Durabook U12C is the perfect companion for mobile power users on the go. The U12C features a 12.1″ WXGA Touch Screen with Digitizer and LED backlight display that quickly converts into a Tablet PC. This lightweight convertible style Tablet PC features I/O covered ports to protect from the hazards of dirt and dust. Powered by the Intel Core i5 processor, the U12C has maximized speed and data management. In addition, the U12C comes with a hard handle making portability a snap. It offers a number of sophisticated I/O modules that can encompass everything from a RS232 port or GPS to an optional second 2M-pixel auto focus camera. An optional vehicle docking station is also available.
I received a demo Durabook U12C to be able to do this review. I was quite pleased with the Durabook U12C in general, so I'll be a little sad when I have to ship it back to Durabook. It's a really solid offering if you're looking for a nice Durabook.
My good experience with the GammaTech started when I opened the package and saw the really well designed packaging for the Durabook. While a box doesn't really matter when it comes to the quality of the computer, it does say something about the company and their concern about even the smallest of details.
I won't go into all the gory details of the specs on the machine. The Durabook U12C was running the Windows 7 operating system and so you can compare its detailed specs with any other similarly specked laptop on the market today. With that said, I used it for a few weeks and never had an issue with any of the specs in the ways I used it.
When you look at it, it seems like the 12″ screen feels a little small. However, in actual use the 12.1″ screen was never a problem for me. I know GammaTech has another model that only has a 10″ screen. I think the 10″ screen might be too small for me, but I really had no issues with the 12.1″ screen. Plus, when you add on the extra Durabook casing to protect the machine you really don't want a screen bigger than 12.1″. If you went even to a 14″ screen the Durabook gets way too unwieldy.
I didn't do any real specific tests as far as drop resistance, shock resistance, spill resistance, dust resistance, and battery protection since I didn't want to break the machine if something didn't work quite right. You can see the tough features specs on the GammaTech website. Needless to say, the machine feels very solid in every component. In fact in some cases almost to a fault.
An example of this is the latch to open the machine. The latch is pretty hard to open. Partially because it secures the lid so well and partially because the easy carry handle makes it awkward to maneuver the latch. I actually handed it to my wife and asked her to open it. A few minutes later (and a few laughs) she finally figured out how to open it. Of course, once you figure it out it's not that bad, but it does require a kind of awkward angle to unlatch it. I'm sure the solid latch was an intentional part of the design. I know I've seen A LOT of broken latches on laptops in my time working in healthcare IT and with EHR software. This latch will never have that problem.
I was also a little disappointed with how responsive the track pad was to my touch. It's a really hard touch pad that left a lot to be desired. I imagine this probably has to do with durability as well, but it was pretty disappointing to use. Good thing that it's a tablet as well so you could always use the pen instead.
The Durabook U12C had the best fingerprint scanner placement of any laptop or Durabook that I've seen. Maybe there are others that have similar positioning, but I loved the fingerprint scanners nice placement in the middle on the right side of the screen for easy thumb scanning. It just felt right since I often hold my screen in just the right position to be able to scan when I open it up. Very well done.
I spent a fair amount of time playing with the tablet features of the Durabook U12C. Obviously many of the features are dependent on Windows 7 more than the Durabook U12C itself. On that subject, if you haven't tried the Windows 7 tablet stuff yet, it's quite good and so much better than its predecessor. We'll see what Windows 8 brings. The Durabook U12C performed well and the pen storage was really convenient.
My biggest pain point with the Durabook U12C was the placement of some of the quick buttons on the screen. They weren't an issue in laptop mode, but when I converted to a tablet and was using the stylus I kept accidentally hitting the buttons. It got really annoying when I was trying to write something on the tablet and then the screen just rotates because the palm of my hand brushed the rotate button. I tried to even rotate the screen into the notebook position, but I still hit some other buttons that were on the screen. This certainly would have deterred me from using the tablet very much.
Overall I was quite pleased with the Durabook U12C. The biggest downsides from my experience were the lackluster track pad and the poorly placed on screen buttons. However, the rest of the features were really well executed and provided a really solid Durabook. I can see a number of cases where a durabook could make sense in the healthcare IT world. This would definitely be one worth trying. It's built to last and your IT administrator will love you since it has Windows 7 which won't have any issues with your IT security requirements.

The Mayor of Gary rejected claims that Joe Jackson was paid to attend a memorial for his famous son Michael.
Earlier today it was revealed that the guy who was pimping his new record company during a press conference about his son's death may have charged the broke-down city of Gary, Indiana -- the Jackson family's hometown, no less -- a $5,000 fee to show up to a memorial for his son, according to the Merriville Post-Tribune. But the Mayor Rudy Clay said he was only paid for travel.
"Anyone who says Joe Jackson was paid to attend his son's memorial is telling the biggest lie ever told in the history of the world," said Clay.
Jackson and musical group the Chi-Lites we're only paid for travel expenses getting to the memorial at the U.S. Steel Yard Baseball stadium honoring MJ. The Chi-Lites are based in Midlothian, Ill., about 25 miles west of Gary.
The money was reportedly to be split between Joe Jackson, the group and its lead singer, Marshall Thompson, but Thompson refutes that.
"Nobody received no money," Thompson said. "They offered to pay our expenses. Joe didn't get nothing."
What is clear is that the city, once an economic powerhouse but lately scraping the barrel of economic doldrums didn't profit from the event. In fact, the event probably cost the city about $2,300.

Online learning programs often exist within larger learning organizations and policy and practice frameworks that encourage or inhibit program success. Use evaluation results to encourage needed changes in program context.
Key stakeholders, such as parents and students, teachers, schools, administrators, policymakers, and the general public, can be informed through the communication of evaluation results. Communication of evaluation results can help online learning programs demonstrate their value or worth, demonstrate accountability, and dispel myths about the nature of online learning.
If the resulting recommendations are actionable, online learning programs should move quickly to implement them. Don't just file the evaluation away; make it a living document that informs the program.
Work to create an ongoing relationship among evaluators, program leaders, and staff. Create ongoing opportunities to talk about the evaluation, its findings, and its implications for improving the program.
Engage early with anyone whose behavior will be expected to change as a result of the evaluation findings—including personnel at distant sites who help manage the program. Introduce them to evaluators and communicate the purpose of the evaluation.
Institutionalize process improvement and performance measurement practices put in place during the evaluation. Consider using a structured, formal process for turning evaluation recommendations into program improvements, including timelines and staff assignments.
Review evaluation recommendations regularly and continually track the progress that has been made toward them.
Rank evaluation recommendations both in order of importance and feasibility. Develop a plan for addressing the highest priority recommendations first.
Continue to conduct evaluation activities internally or externally to continuously improve your program over time.

My boyfriend and I are having sex. It's great sex. But lately he has wanted me to beg before he enters me. I don't know what to say. I try and try to come up with something he'd like. I beg by saying "master" but he doesn't want me to use master. He said it's a turn off. What should I say?
What do you want, a script? Erotic dialogue costs extra, my friend. The advice part, however, is free. And as you no doubt know, beggars can't be choosers. Although, maybe you don't know that since you're asking me how to beg.
When it comes to dirty talk, simplicity is key. You're not crafting a novella, after all; you're merely setting the mood. In this case, the mood you're trying to set is one of submission. Throwing a "Good Sir, I prostrate myself before your grandiloquence" into sex tends to merely confuse people. (Hence, it would behoove you to never use flowery language like "behoove.") Stick to a few basic words. "Please" is classic, to the point, and very difficult to misinterpret.
If you really feel you're lacking in the dialogue department, MANY resources exist to aid you on your journey from Bashful Beginner to Pervy Proselytizer. One such "resource" is (and these are NSFW, of course) the
, which is kind of wildly offensive to women (and dragons), but was created by someone named Mr. Doody, so I guess we should've seen that coming?
is another website aimed at increasing your carnal word knowledge. In addition to the usual, this site has a vast selection of food-related sex vocab, such as "stirring the macaroni," "cuffing the carrot," and "floating on an air biscuit." It even comes with lewd animated gifs, which are like the endangered bald eagles of the art world, and thus demand our respect. It also describes sex acts involving Communist leaders. Basically, be prepared to lose several hours of your life here.
If you want to be an overachiever, you can buy books on the topic, like "Sex Talk: Uncensored Exercises for Exploring What Really Turns You on," or "Sultry Sex Talk To Seduce Any Lover," which is a mouthful of the non-erotic variety. The subtitle is: "Lust-Inducing Lingo and Titillating Tactics for Maximizing Your Pleasure." I hope these suggestions are helpful, because searching for them has ruined my Amazon book recommendations forever.

North Korea: Nuke test just a "first response" aimed at U.S.
Updated 3:50 p.m. ET
PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea said the atomic test it conducted Tuesday in the remote, snowy northeast was merely its "first response" taken with "maximum restraint," in response to what it called U.S. threats, and said it will continue with unspecified "second and third measures of greater intensity" if Washington maintains its hostility.
The underground test, which set off powerful seismic waves, was a crucial step toward its goal of building a bomb small enough to be fitted on a missile capable of striking the United States. The test drew immediate condemnation from Washington, the U.N. and others. Even its only major ally, China, voiced opposition.
After the launch was first reported, U.S. officials confirmed that there are indications that North Korea intends to conduct a second test of its arsenal, reports CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan.
A source familiar with the regional threat assessment says that North Korea has been considering doing "two for the price of one," in other words, conduct two tests in anticipation of punishing U.N. action.
CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that the second test could be a missile, according to intelligence assessments made in recent days.
North Korea has been warning of the nuclear test for weeks, but U.S. officials consider the timing of the test to be especially provocative as it comes during the Chinese New Year holiday week, ahead of China's political transition, and on the cusp of the U.S. State of the Union address.
President Barack Obama said nuclear tests "do not make North Korea more secure." Instead, North Korea has "increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction," he said in a statement.
- U.N. condemns "clear threat" from North Korea after nuclear test
- North Korea irks allies Russia and China with 3rd nuclear test
- China growing weary of N. Korea provocations, analysts say
- In propaganda video, N. Korea "bombs" U.S.
North Korea claimed the device was smaller than in previous tests; Seoul said it likely produced a bigger explosion.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the test Tuesday, saying in a statement: "The U.S. Intelligence Community assesses that North Korea probably conducted an underground nuclear explosion in the vicinity of P'unggye on February 12, 2013. The explosion yield was approximately several kilotons. Analysis of the event continues."
The test was a defiant response to U.N. orders to shut down atomic activity or face more sanctions and international isolation. It will likely draw more sanctions from the United States and other countries at a time when North Korea is trying to rebuild its moribund economy and expand its engagement with the outside world.
The Security Council met Tuesday, and all 15 members agreed the "clear threat" from North Korea warranted a harsh response.
CBS News foreign affairs analyst Pamela Falk reports that China's backing of new sanctions after the North's December rocket launch is a strong indication that the Security Council will be able to pass a tough new resolution. There is new leadership in China, South Korea, North Korea and Japan and there is an increasing concern in the international community that Pyongyang's nuclear test could destabilize the region.
Several U.N. resolutions bar North Korea from conducting nuclear or missile tests because the U.N. Security Council considers Pyongyang a would-be proliferator of weapons of mass destruction and its nuclear testing a threat to international peace and stability. North Korea dismisses that as a double standard, and claims the right to build nuclear weapons as a defense against the United States, which has been seen as enemy No. 1 since the 1950-53 Korean War. The U.S. stations more than 28,000 troops in South Korea to protect its ally.
North Korea appears defiant in the face of further sanctions, telling the U.N. disarmament forum on Tuesday that it would never bow to resolutions on its nuclear program and that prospects were "gloomy" for the denuclearisation of the divided Korean peninsula because of a "hostile" U.S. policy, Reuters reports.
"The U.S. and their followers are sadly mistaken if they miscalculate the DPRK would respect the entirely unreasonable resolutions against it. The DPRK will never bow to any resolutions," Jon Yong Ryong, first secretary of North Korea's mission in Geneva, told the Conference on Disarmament, referring to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
He said: "If the EU (European Union) truly wants peace and security on the Korean peninsula, it should urge the U.S. first to terminate its hostile policy towards DPRK on an impartial basis."
Tuesday's test is North Korea's first since young leader Kim Jong Un took power of a country long estranged from the West. The test will likely be portrayed in North Korea as a strong move to defend the nation against foreign aggression, particularly from the U.S.
"The test was conducted in a safe and perfect way on a high level, with the use of a smaller and light A-bomb, unlike the previous ones, yet with great explosive power," North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said, confirming speculation that seismic activity near Kilju around midday was a nuclear test.
North Korea was punished by more U.N. sanctions after a December launch of a rocket that the U.N. and Washington called a cover for a banned missile test. Pyongyang said it was a peaceful, and successful, bid to send a satellite into space.
The timing of the test is significant. It came hours before Mr. Obama's speech and only days before the Saturday birthday of Kim Jong Un's father, late leader Kim Jong Il, whose memory North Korean propaganda has repeatedly linked to the country's nuclear ambitions.
This year also marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, and in late February South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye will be inaugurated.
In Pyongyang, where it was snowing Tuesday, North Koreans gathered around televisions to watch a 3 p.m. TV broadcast announcing the nuclear test.
The test shows the world that North Korea is a "nuclear weapons state that no one can irritate," Kim Mun Chol, a 42-year-old Pyongyang citizen, told The Associated Press in the North Korean capital. "Now we have nothing to be afraid of in the world."
The National Intelligence Service in Seoul told lawmakers that North Korea may conduct an additional nuclear test and test-launch a ballistic missile in response to U.N. talks about imposing more sanctions, according to the office of South Korean lawmaker Jung Chung-rae, who attended the private meeting. Analysts have also previously speculated that Pyongyang might conduct multiple tests, possibly of plutonium and uranium devices.
North Korea is estimated to have enough weaponized plutonium for four to eight bombs, according to American nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker.
It wasn't immediately clear to outside experts whether the device exploded Tuesday was small enough to fit on a missile, and whether it was fueled by plutonium or highly enriched uranium. A successful test would take North Korean scientists a step closer to building a nuclear warhead that can reach U.S. shores -seen as the ultimate goal of North Korea's nuclear program.
In 2006, and 2009, North Korea is believed to have tested devices made of plutonium. But in 2010, Pyongyang revealed a program to enrich uranium, which would give the country a second source of bomb-making materials - a worrying development for the U.S. and its allies.
"This latest test and any further nuclear testing could provide North Korean scientists with additional information for nuclear warhead designs small enough to fit on top of its ballistic missiles," Daryl Kimball and Greg Thielmann wrote on the private Arms Control Association's blog. "However, it is likely that additional testing would be needed for North Korea to field either a plutonium or enriched uranium weapon."
Uranium would be a worry because plutonium facilities are large and produce detectable radiation, making it easier for outsiders to find and monitor. However, uranium centrifuges can be hidden from satellites, drones and nuclear inspectors in caves, tunnels and other hard-to-reach places. Highly enriched uranium also is easier than plutonium to engineer into a weapon.
Monitoring stations in South Korea detected an earthquake in the North with a magnitude of 4.9 and the South's Defense Ministry said that corresponds to an estimated explosive yield of 6-7 kilotons.
The yields of the North's 2006 and 2009 tests were estimated at 1 kiloton and 2 to 6 kilotons, respectively, spokesman Kim Min-seok said. By comparison, U.S. nuclear bombs that flattened Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II were estimated at 13 kilotons and 22 kilotons, respectively, Kim said.
The test is a product of North Korea's military-first, or songun, policy, and shows Kim Jong Un is running the country much as his father did, said Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group think tank.
The decision to push ahead with a test will be a challenge to the U.N. Security Council, which recently punished Pyongyang for launching the December long-range rocket. In condemning that launch and imposing more sanctions on Pyongyang, the council had demanded a stop to future launches and ordered North Korea to respect a ban on nuclear activity - or face "significant action" by the U.N.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon condemned the test in a statement. Japanese officials said they expected the Security Council to meet later to take up the nuclear test.
China expressed firm opposition to the test but called for a calm response by all sides.
The other part of a credible North Korean nuclear deterrent is its missile program. While it has capable short and medium-range missiles, it has struggled in tests of technology for long-range missiles needed to carry bombs to the United States, although it did launch the satellite in December.
North Korea isn't close to having a nuclear bomb it can use on the United States or its allies. Instead, Hecker said in a posting on Stanford University's website, "it wants to hold U.S. interests at risk of a nuclear attack to deter us from regime change and to create international leverage and diplomatic maneuvering room."

Hello nasi.
I have moved this thread to: Java Theory & Questions - Java Programming Forums
Please don't post in the 'Whats Wrong With My Code' forum unless you have an actual code problem to post.
Can you please elaborate on what you would like to do? I am a bit confused. Thanks.

sorry for that. I have read an html file and what I have now is its code. I have done some changes in the code, and now I want to change it to a web page to show to users. I don't want to display the codes of my html file, I want its web page form.
Unfortunately java SE lacks in this category. The JEditorPane has limited html capabilities, and there isn't another class in java SE that can do so. You'll have to a) use third party software such as The DJ project , or b) save the html as a file and open that file with the default web browser
Thank you copeg for your great helps. now I am trying to use EditorPane to work with my html file. I am trying to customize an EditorPane example of java tutorials for my application. I am using the following code but it doesn't find the html file, although it is there.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Uploading Lecture Notes")) {
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(UpLoadListener.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
try {
java.net.URL URL = UpLoadListener.class.getResource( file.getPath());
if (URL != null) {
try {
} catch (IOException e1) {
System.err.println("Attempted to read a bad URL: " + helpURL);
} else {
System.err.println("Couldn't find file");
Last edited by nasi; March 28th, 2010 at 07:47 PM.
nasi, try using the method getURL() from the File class to feed into the setPage function.
The getResource finds a resource relative to the package and is more for loading things relative to your application, whereas it seems you wish to load something using the absolute path.java.net.URL [COLOR="SeaGreen"]helpURL[/COLOR] = file.getURL();//UpLoadListener.class.getResource( file.getPath());
Also note the name in green, which should be consistent with what you send to setPage. I'll also restate that the HTML of JEditorPane is limited. Anything beyond basic html (css, javascript, etc...) will most likely display incorrectly.
thanks copeg, but the FILE class doesn't have getURL method, when I use file.getURL it generates an error.
File - toURL)). The work around is to convert to a URI then to a URL:
java.net.URL helpURL = file.toURI().toURL();
Thank you very much copeg, hope you find some one to solve all of your problems
