Steps You Can Take Now
Preventing an Addiction
President Thomas S. Monson offers three specific steps we can implement to battle pornography.
- Return to Righteousness. An understanding of who we are and what God expects us to become will prompt us to pray. We can yet be guided by that still, small voice.
- A Quest for the Good Life. He speaks not of the fun life, the sophisticated life, the popular life. Rather, he urges each to seek eternal life—life everlasting with mother, father, brothers, sisters, husband, wife, sons, and daughters, forever together.
- A Pledge to Win the War. As we encounter pornography, let our battle standard and that of our communities be taken from that famous ensign of early America, "Don't tread on me."
Recognizing an Addiction
Though you may already recognize that pornography is a part of your life, the questions in the article "Is My Pornography Use a Problem?" may help you determine whether it is time for you to seek help. If you answer yes to any of the questions or if you are troubled by other pornography-related thoughts or behaviors, you may benefit from discussing your pornography use with your parents, your bishop, or a professional counselor.
Overcoming an Addiction
Pornography use thrives in secrecy. To overcome one's use of pornography or involvement with other immoral behaviors, one should discuss these problems openly with appropriate priesthood leaders. Here are some suggestions that may help.
- Disrupt the Cycle of Pornography Use. When attempting to overcome pornography use, find something to take its place; otherwise, you may be tempted to engage in other unacceptable behaviors to fill the void.
- Control Thoughts. The First Presidency issued this statement: "We remind you of scriptures that make clear the relationship between one's thoughts and actions (see Matthew 15:19; Mosiah 4:29–30; Alma 12:14; 3 Nephi 12:28; D&C 121:45)." As thoughts are kept clean and pure, the temptation to view pornography will decrease. Any desire to use will diminish.
- Stop Rationalizing. Replace rationalizations with true statements such as "I know that I am hurting myself, my spouse, my family, my relationship with the Lord and His Church, and my spiritual well-being every time I choose to indulge in pornography."
- Study and Apply Gospel Principles. A deeper understanding of gospel principles will help to overcome the use of pornography. Important topics to study include faith in Jesus Christ, the Atonement, repentance, and forgiveness.
- Fully Disclose the Problem. Be completely honest and open when discussing pornography use with your bishop. A forthright confession will help the bishop understand the extent and seriousness of the problem and how he can best help.
Involving Others for Support
As those struggling with pornography work to recover, seeking necessary support from others, they will also benefit from the sources listed below.
- Family Members. Family members can most effectively be a source of support by offering love and acceptance and by applying the same treatment steps to their own lives.
- Recovery Meetings. In these meetings, newcomers hear participants describe how they apply recovery principles and practices in daily living.
- Professional Counselors. When seeking professional help, it is important to select someone who is supportive of gospel principles as well as recovery methods consistent with those taught in the Addiction Recovery Program.
- Ecclesiastical Support. Never forget or underestimate the power of ecclesiastical stewardship.
- A Support Person. A support person helps those in recovery put their "lives into perspective and avoid exaggerating or minimizing [their] accountability" (Guide, 29).

A good start turned into nothing more than a big letdown for the Seahawks on Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals took a 31-20 victory that puts the kibosh on any sort of Seattle playoff hopes this season.
The Seahawks blew an early 14-point lead as Kurt Warner eventually sliced apart Seattle's defense and the team's remaining thoughts of a turnaround.
At 3-6, the Seahawks now trail NFC West-leading Arizona by three games and head next on another tough road trip to Minnesota.
Seattle remains winless on the road this season with the loss and is 2-10 away from Qwest Field since 2008.
Seattle showed more fight in this one and put up 472 yards of offense, but ultimately their defense failed to mount any pressure on Warner and gradually gave way against Arizona's high-powered attack.
Hasselbeck spread the ball around well and threw for 315 yards, but his two interceptions in the final 3:31 — including an awkward shovel pass that went awry after a bad snap when Seattle had pushed down to the 5 with 2 minutes left — sealed the deal.
The Seahawks had their moments early, including a goal-line stand that led to a 99-yard touchdown drive to take an early 7-0 lead.
And tight end John Carlson — remember him? — sprung wide open for a TD catch in the second quarter for a 14-0 lead against the NFC West Division leaders.
A little different than the 14-0 deficit last month before the Seahawks even got the ball against Arizona at Qwest Field.
The Cardinals came back to tie the game at 17-17, before Olindo Mare put Seattle ahead with a 20-yard field goal with 13 minutes remaining.
Settling for a field goal there was costly though, as Arizona came right back with a quick scoring drive to take the lead with 11:20 remaining and then added another touchdown five minutes later to Seahawk-killer Larry Fitzgerald.
With Julius Jones sidelined by a broken rib, we finally got a chance to see Justin Forsett and he scored his first TD of the season on the 11-yard run and looked very good with 123 yards rushing on a day Seattle racked up 164 yards on the ground.
Yes, that would be an actual rushing attack for the Seahawks, who totaled just 14 yards rushing last time these two teams met.
And T.J. Houshmandzadeh had a huge day with nine receptions for 165 yards.
But ultimately, Arizona and Warner proved too much. And the Seahawks are left to play out the string with seven games still remaining.

Reformation-era extremes, Alexander VI version
Pope Alexander VI really knew how to throw a party. Rodrigo Borgia became Alexander VI in 1492 and livened things up at the Vatican. As reported in William Manchester's excellent A World Lit Only by Fire, p. 79:
'Once he became Pope Alexander VI, Vatican parties, already wild, grew wilder. They were costly, but he could afford the lifestyle of a Renaissance prince; as vice-chancellor of the Roman Church, he had amassed enormous wealth.
'As guests approached the papal palace, they were excited by the spectacle of living statues: naked, gilded young men and women in erotic poses. Flags bore the Borgia arms, which, appropriately, portrayed a red bull rampant on a field of gold. Every fete had a theme. One, known to Romans as the Ballet of the Chestnuts, was held on October 30, 1501. The indefatigable [Johann] Burchard describes it in his Diarium. After the banquet had been cleared away, the city's fifty most beautiful whores danced with guests, "first clothed, then naked." The dancing over, the "ballet" began, with the pope and two of his children in the best seats.
'"Candelabra were set up on the floor; scattered among them were chestnuts, which," Burchard writes, "the courtesans had to pick up, crawling between the candles." Then the serious sex started. Guests stripped and ran out on the floor, where they mounted, or were mounted by, the prostitutes. "The coupling took place," according to Burchard, "in front of everyone present." Servants kept score of each man's orgasms, for the pope greatly admired virility and measured a man's machismo by his ejaculative capacity. After everyone was exhausted, His Holiness distributed prizes — cloaks, boots, caps, and fine silken tunics. The winners, the diarist wrote, were those "who made love with those courtesans the greatest number of times."'
All of which sort-of makes understandable Reformation reactions to the other extreme, e.g., John Calvin's Geneva.

Student Health Services at The University of Southern Mississippi has achieved continuing accreditation through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes Student Health Services from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
Status as an accredited organization means Student Health Services has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 5,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.
"We believe our patients deserve the best," said Dr. Virginia Crawford, director of Student Health Services. "When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not-for-profit organization, has closely examined our facility and procedures. It means we care enough about our patients to strive for the highest level of care possible."
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. The survey is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
"Going through the process challenged us to find better ways to serve our patients, and it is a constant reminder that our responsibility is to strive to continuously improve the quality of care we provide," said Crawford.
Student Health Services offers general medical care for all students, faculty, and staff at the university. Treatment is available for a wide range of health issues, including acute minor illnesses such as colds, sinus problems, and allergies; and chronic medical problems such as asthma, diabetes, and hypertension. Student Health Services also offers preventive health service and education, including women's health exams, cholesterol screening, smoking cessation and a men's health program.

Interactive CD-ROMs
Like websites, CD-ROMs have a large number of applications in the business world. Unlike websites, they can be viewed offline and by those without an Internet connection, thereby reaching a far larger potential audience.
With no download required, CD-ROMs are an ideal medium for distributing substantial amounts of information such as detailed images or large multimedia files – audio/video.
With an interactive CD-ROM you can make a huge impact using a wide variety of different media such as custom designed graphics, movie clips, animation, sound tracks, quizzes, games and narration – intensifying your corporate image.
Some of the potential applications of an interactive CD-ROM include:
- Standalone products for sale to the public
- Inductions and interactive internal company training guides
- Company profiles or showreels
- Annual reports and stakeholder reports
- Multimedia product and service demonstrations
- Interactive knowledge bases e.g. brochures and catalogues
The typical multimedia CD title will begin with a short but dynamic introduction of music and animation, followed by a screen displaying the CD's contents with links to the various pages of products, applications, videos, contact information, or any other information you wish to include.
To discuss your project requirements with us, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Control (01/30/06)
TITLE: Jonah
By Kay Lane
I worked hard; I am devout in my faith. To have the goodness and blessing of the Lord upon me should be a great gift. But I did not want it.
I fled to Joppa, hoping to catch the next ship to Tarshish. I would not go to Nineveh. I would not be associated with the wicked or the damned. I could not be among the vile filth that did not understand the Lord.
The Lord, however, had other plans.
Now, here I am east of Nineveh, alone in my battered hut. From here, I can see the disgusting city, proud and full of its new glory in the eyes of God. I know the truth. They are pretenders – always pretenders – seeking wealth and power while trying to trick our Lord.
I see through their games.
The Lord will smite them. The Lord will keep His Word. He will destroy the city and show how those not chosen can never find the way.
I wait. I wait and I wait but neither day nor night do I see the smoke billow from the rooftops or His flames lick the sky.
He has offered them salvation.
"Kill me," I say aloud. "I had rather die than live to see this perversity."
But He does not. He offers me the shade of a plant only to take it away. He brings down harsh winds and sand, but He allows me to live.
"Why?" I ask. "Why offer them salvation? I have given my lift to You while they have lived in sin."
He whispers to me ways that only He can. He shows me things I do not want to see. He forces me to know things I do not want to know.
I understand now that He is preparing for greater things to come. I may not like it, and I may indeed loathe it, but I realize that I can no longer fight the tide that pulls me.
I was never in control. And I never will be.

New Haven school cooks learn kid-friendly food techniques at 'boot camp'
School cooks learn new kid-friendly techniques
Published 5:11 pm, Wednesday, August 20, 2014
NEW HAVEN >> Many cooks in the public school system liken their biggest challenges to those of parents, including getting children to eat their vegetables.
"You're a mother, you're everything to the kids, not only a cook," said Toni Daddio, lead cook at Fair Haven School. "You mentor kids and you hear their problems."
Toward the goal of feeding students, at Wednesday's first-ever "Boot Camp" for area food service workers, about 15 cooks from each school met to learn new recipes, share techniques and tips of the trade before the school year started. Cooks broke into groups and rotated between cooking at four stations. These included a pizza station, a salad bar, a pasta and sandwich station and a knife seminar.
Their goal was to find new ways to introduce students to vegetables and find more "kid-friendly" ways to present them, New Haven Public Schools Production Manager David Prescott said. For example, the group was testing zucchini sticks and shredded carrots.
Prescott said the cooks also were working on presentation skills for hot dishes, such as pasta, which may need to be garnished in a certain way to look more appealing to students.
"If it looks good, chances are kids will have more of a chance of trying it," he said.
As Truman School cook Betty Alford arranged the test salad bar, she pointed out each vegetable that her kids would eat — but only dipped or covered in ranch dressing.
"If you put it out there plain, they aren't going to touch it," Alford said, laughing.
Every day, she said she puts all the vegetables out in a line and encourages students to get a hot lunch and a salad. But she said she listens to what the kids tell her that they like, and she will try to please them if she can.
Daddio said she has spent 31 years in the school food service business and the past 15 as a lead cook at Fair Haven School. When she first started cooking, Daddio said school cafeterias did a large amount of batch cooking, making lunches from scratch instead of frozen, processed foods that many schools have recently seen. Now, she said the school system is trying to get back to its original standards.
Though making sure her kids get the proper quantity of fruit and vegetables is a priority, she said a major part of her job was interacting with the students on a more personal level.
"The kids become your kids, or your grandkids," she said. "You are with these kids from kindergarten through eighth grade and you see them grow up."
She recounted a time a girl came to her upset because other kids were making fun of her teeth and her mom couldn't afford braces. Daddio said she talked with the girl about how to overcome the bullying.
And at the end of the year, she said she would bake treats for some of the students she was closest to as a surprise.
"How can you not want to be with kids?" Daddio said. " Feed them well, and they are on their way."

Seven Lancaster County Human Services Workers Get OWDS Certification
Lancaster:Seven members of the Offender Workforce Development Specialist (OWDS) team of the Lancaster County Re-Entry Management Organization completed their training in October and were recognized by the Lancaster County Commissioners at the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday, November 16, 2011.
OWDS is a national initiative from the National Institute of Corrections that promotes skill development and collaboration to improve employment outcomes, including job retention, for those re-entering the community from jails and prisons. The effort will result in lower recidivism, higher rates of employment, savings to taxpayers, and a reduction in the costs of incarceration.
Members of the Team underwent 180 hours of training to obtain this certification and they were among the first in Pennsylvania to be awarded the nationally-recognized OWDS credential. Team members include...
This Lancaster team will now bring what they have learned back to Lancaster County by offering trainings for other Lancaster County professionals who work with offenders and ex-offenders. These trainings will cover essential skills and best practices to assist people coming out of prison to find employment.

The Foundation of Merit: Public Service in American Democracy (Interpreting American Politics)
The first systematic examination of the federal civil service in nearly forty years, The Foundation of Merit analyzes the historical development of the civil service in the context of the political and democratic environment that is central to its effectiveness and legitimacy. Patricia Ingraham describes theincremental and disjointed growth of the federal civil service and explains how, and why, it came to be a system with control in the wrong places, with discretion in the wrong places, and why--in its current form--it has little hope of meeting the enormous challenges of the next century.
The book concludes with an examination of the need for reform, the challenges that have shaped that need, and the lessons from the past that should guide the reforms of the future.

Joe, Are you confusing the smoke with the fire? that is who cares whether one's in good standing, members know who the regular contributors are. Don't let's worry that the smoke gets all the attention. BTW, have you ever visited a turd world country? They spend hours polishing turds: Many years ago I was a youth staying up in the hills above Manali in India. I asked the landlady for a mat, the bed-cots were rather uncomfortable. She in her kindness cleaned the floor and polished it with cow dung. This continued every day for a month or two..... Like the South American tea, I later discovered that mat means different things to different people. She just assumed I was a very fussy tenant. thanks On Monday, December 15, 2003, at 10:35 pm, Joe Clark wrote: > > The Web Accessibility Initiative remains unable to see that: > > 1. the PiGS designation (participant in good standing) is inherently > elitist and filters out anyone who cannot afford the time or money for > up > to 150 hours a year of long-distance telephone consultations and > face-to-face meetings.

I started studying for almost two months now. I still haven't preformed any spells because i wanna make sure i know exactly what i'm doing and that ill be safe if i do actually do one, and not mess up.
so far i've gotten pretty far, i know a lot of the background history, where it came from, and how people used to use it compared to today. i know a lot of the full moons and gemstones and herbs, and what they're good for and when to use it all.
I think the most trouble i have is casting a circle, why we cast circles, when to cast a circle, and like, whats the right way to do it without having a coven by your side.
I don't know nearly anything about black magic.
I'm terrible with tarot cards, divination, numerology, or anything of that sort.
I also don't know litteraly anything about chukuras? i don't think that's how you spell it, or even if that's the right word. haha.
I've tried to read posts and stuff on here, but im not the brightest crayon in the box, and i just don't understand what they're saying. haha.
i wanna know as much as possible!
So, if your a teacher and would teach me that'd be great!
Or if you know how to point me in the right direction to a teacher that'd be nice too(:

Picture From Life's Other Side Lyrics
Artist: Porter Wagoner
Album: Me And My Boys
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures hang scenes that're painted from life
There's pictures of love and of passion and there's pictures of piece and of strife
There hung pictures of youth and of beauty and of old age and a blushing young bride
But the saddest of all they don't hung on the wall
The first scene is that of a gambler who had lost all his money at play
And he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore long ago on her wedding day
It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then he bows his head that in shame he might hide
But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
That's just a picture from life's other side
Now the last scene is that by the river of a heartbroken mother and babe
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver on an outcast whom no one will save
Now yet she was once a true woman she was somebody's darling and pride
But God help her she leaps and there's no one to weep
That's a picture from life's other side
Just a picture from life's other side someone has fell by the way
A life has gone out with the tide that might have been happy some day
There's a poor old mother at home watching and waiting alone
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear just a picture from life's other side

Parents worry so much about the performance of their kids at school. They actually strain themselves a lot and also put undue pressure on their children to make latter perform well. However, in spite of their pressures and effort, some kids do not perform as per expectations.
Are the kids responsible for underperformance? Or is the school not doing enough? Or maybe, the parents are making too much of fuss. Let's find out.
There can be multitude of reasons due to which some children do not perform as per expectations.
Outdated teaching methods The school may be following outdated teaching methods and aids which lack innovation and fun. It makes learning a boring process for kids and they sometimes do not understand the concepts well.
Lack of motivation by parents The lack of adequate attention and motivation also makes the child lose interest in studies. Sometimes the parents put the onus of education on teachers and school and shrug off their responsibilities. This irresponsible attitude of parents makes the children careless towards their studies and hence poor grades in school.
Burden of over expectations Conversely, some parents over burden their kids with their expectations. Excessive discipline and lack of appreciation for hard work discourages the child and make him lose focus.
Absence of pleasant atmosphere at home The kids are sensitive and easily get affected by their surroundings. Fights between parents, divorce, death or illness of parent/ close family member are some of the reasons which affect mental status of the child and may affect his performance at school.
Bullying in school The victimized kids are often less bold to counter the bully. The continuous bulling in school can badly influence the concentration and studies of such kids.
Too much of electronic media If the kids are over exposed to internet,mobile phones or T.V., they may lose their concentration and avoid giving enough attention to their homework.
Lack of sleep The adequate sleep of the child is important to refresh the brain. Sleep helps in mental and physical development and therefore if deprived, the performance of the child gets hampered.
Health issues Lack of nutritious and whole some diet may make the child weak. Good diet is important for mind and body as well as for their proper functioning. Therefore diet and health have a great effect on the performance of the child.
Performance anxiety This is yet another reason for poor performance in school. Sometimes even bright students are not able to put in their best because of the increased anxiety levels and nervousness in them about their own performance.
Learning disabilities Some children suffer from problem of learning disabilities which may interfere with their learning process. There can be different forms of learning disabilities and if not discover on time, may continue to cause difficulty to such children at school.
Lack of good performance of child in studies is therefore an indication of some other major issue which needs attention. In case there is low performance or dip in grades, the teachers and family should try to understand the mental status of the child. They should try to discover the possible reason for the poor performance.
Here are mentioned some general guidelines which may help the parents to improve the performance of the child in school.
Appreciate the hard work of the kid even if the results are below expectations.
Take active interest in studies and homework of the child.
Coordinate with teachers and other parents about the education policy in the school.
Help your kid to get organized and make time table which accommodates enough time for homework, play time and sleep time.
Take good care of the diet and health of the child.
The parents may introduce their own interesting assignments and workbooks to help children in their studies.
Limit T.V. and computer viewing as it can distract the children.
Avoid getting anxious as it may make the child nervous.
Encourage child to share his feelings and point of view about school, studies, and other things.
In case of child with learning disabilities, seek professional guidance and act accordingly.
Forgive the mistakes of the child and give him chance to improve.
Always motivate your child in calm and positive way to achieve his goals.
These steps will surely help parents and their kids to bring out the best in kids and enhance their performance.

Wailin' Wednesday: How to Compost in Your Apartment
It's officially fall, and with the turning of the weather comes the harvest! There are so many delicious meals to make in these autumn months, but what do you do with all your leftover vegetable scraps? Compost them!
At the festival this year, we focused on composting by creating waste stations staffed by friendly volunteers willing to help educate folks on what they could compost. This lead to a significant decrease in the waste created at the festival.
Composting is pretty easy even in an apartment. Here's how to start a small compost in your apartment.
- Get a bucket. The number one concern for people living in a place without the convenience of keeping the bin outside is the smell. There are composting bins on the market with a charcoal filter, which will keep the surrounding air smelling fresh.
Plastic bins with a lid work well too. Just be sure to drill some holes in the bottom and put a tray underneath to collect extra water and add a few near the top.
- Put a layer of brown material down. All those leaves on the boulevard this time of year act as great bedding for compost! You can also use grass clippings, straw, dead plants or torn up cardboard or newspaper.
- Add water. This layer should be the wetness of a wrung-out sponge.
- Here's where the fun starts: add red worms! They're otherwise known as red wiggler worms (which is super fun to say). Contact your local gardening clubs or municipal waste management to source them locally. You can also buy them online.
- It's time to add your food scraps. You can compost green material, which includes vegetable or fruit scraps, coffee grounds and rinsed and crushed egg shells. Cut them up into small pieces to ensure they compost quicker.
- After that, keep layering brown and green material. Rule of thumb: for every 2-3 inches of green material, put an inch of brown material to ensure a healthy environment for those worms to work. Throughout the process, the materials should maintain the wetness of a sponge.
- Keep the bin in a cooler area with airflow, like under the sink (but leave the cabinet doors open from time to time).
By the end of the winter, you will not only have great compost for your garden, but will have cut back your waste by roughly 30 per cent!

The Corn Myth
There is much myth and misinformation on the Internet regarding this topic of allergies and its relationship to food stuffs. The internet is a tool to quickly disseminate information to a large portion of the general population. And with this capability, there is truthful information circulated, as well as the "intentional" distribution of misinformation or propaganda used in new marketing techniques.
Sometimes these tactics are done to try and dissuade the public from the use of a competitors product or to gain momentum for a particular cause. In short, the internet is the new venue for propaganda and it is often difficult for the average user to sort out the truth from the myth. One example of propaganda is the myth that corn causes allergies in dogs.
Here is an example...in 2005 one of the most respected holistic dog food companies decided to pull the corn from their foods only because they had pressure from consumers to do so. This decision to remove the corn was not based in any kind of research. They now had a "grainless" holistic food which is what it seemed the public wanted. After test feeding the diet over a long period of time the witnessed several changes in the dogs energy levels, coat and body weight. All were negative effects. The dogs had significant weight loss, it took much more food to maintain the dogs weight, coats became brittle and the dog's energy levels plummeted, real working dogs were lacked endurance. After seeing this results over many months of feed trial research, the decided to put the Grade 1# whole corn back into their holistic diet - as a carbohydrate source, and after thousands of bags were sold not one allergy was reported.
The fact is Human Grade #1 corn is one of the best natural sources of coat and skin conditioners like Omega 6, and it is low in gluten. It has an overall digestibility is 90% and carbohydrate digestibility is 99%. In the instance of Eagle Dog Foods use of whole corn, Eagle grinds whole corn fresh human grade #1 corn for their products and they do not use any genetically engineered corn. It is bought from local farmers and no pesticides are applied from the day the seed is planted until the corn is picked. High quality whole corn is an excellent carbohydrate that is "used" as a carbohydrate source, not counted as protein source and it is not listed first on the ingredient panel. The fact is, legitimate research shows whole corn, to be considered very low on the list of foods that cause allergic reactions.
Before jumping on the bandwagon against corn used as a carbohydrate in a diet, you need to understand there is one cause for allergic reactions and that is a problem with an immune system. But there are many triggers for an "allergic type" reaction, some include: Genetic predisposition for Inhalant Atopic Dermatitis, Contact Dermatitis, Vaccines reactions (Purdue Study- Vaccine Mediated Responses), Candida Albicans (see Systemic Yeast Infections), Flea bite or Insect bite Determatitis, Thyroid and/or Hormones and in rare cases, food allergies.
Itchy skin is one of the most common complaints of pet owners but the reasons for itchy skin can be numerous.
I think it is important to understand the difference between food allergies and food intolerance. A food intolerance will often cause a digestive 'upset' of some sort. A food allergy, on the other hand, causes an immune reaction when the offending substance is introduced.
Randy Wysong DVM writes: "Allergy is a breakdown in the immune system as a result of years of improper feeding and care. Anyone who is feeding singular diets day in and day out is inviting allergic disaster. Animals naturally crave and need variety just as humans do. Food allergy may in fact be a mechanism in the body to attempt to force us to eat different foods. Variety is not only the spice of life - it is fundamental to health."
Albert Townshend DVM writes: "Food allergy is rare; other causes of GI and/or dematologic sign are more common and some may also respond (for nonallergeric reasons) to dietary manipulation. There are two types of unpleasant reactions to food. The first is an immunologic reaction (a true food allergy). The second is a nonimmunologic reaction (what is termed a food intolerance). Food intolerance are much more common. Allergic reactions do occur to corn, however, depending on the research cited, corn is not thought to be a very common allergen. At least not as high on the list as soybeans, beef, wheat, eggs or dairy products. Even rice has been found to cause allergic reactions in a rare few animals."
When it is suspected an animal may be allergic to a food, if tested you will see that in a heighten state of response, an animal or person "appears" to be allergic to numerous things. This kind of "heightened response" is the bodies alarm system telling you that you are not supplying my diet with the nutrients necessary so that my body can make the chemicals needed to "clean" any toxins from my body.
It is my experience working with many owners and breeders, that the majority of the times when they think the dog has a food allergy and they try a shift in diet, the dog drastically improves. Systemic Yeast infections are also responsible for similar reactions such as shedding, itchy skin, hotspots, redness between the toes, constant ear infections, yeast infections, urinary tract infections only to name a few.
In the majority of these cases, owners can remedy the situation simply by switching the diet (Blackwatch Feed Program, adding dietary enzymes (Nzymes) to the diet and eliminating environmental factors (detergents, Lysol sprays, carpet sprinkle products. lawn sprays. etc).
What are Dietary Enzymes?
Enzyme rich anti-oxidants are the "living" elements of foods that must be supplied to the body on a daily basis. Think of them as a "filtering" system for the body. If I am using a processed food, which I do, I have to make sure I put these back into my dog and my personal diet on a daily basis, otherwise I compromise the immune system and will "appear" to develop an allergic reaction to some food.
Therefore, a "response" is a bodies way of saying I am wearing out and I need "living" antioxidant enzymes in my body to help my immune system filter out the toxins that it processes every day.
If the immune system is boosted and at optimum level, then allergies often subside over time. For example I was plagued with hayfever my whole life, until I supplied my system with the proper things "living antioxidant enzymes missing in today's modern diets, this helped my body's defenses to be able to repair itself. I no longer have ANY hay fever after years of misery, in 3 months on dietary enzymes my body was cleansed and they brought me total relief.
A Word About Contact Allergies
Sometimes what appears to be a food allergy is actually a contact allergy. Some of the things that cause allergies are carpet products (sprinkle kind), like Carpet Fresh. I know of a breeder who spent thousands of dollars trying to figure out what was wrong with their show dog. They had this dog back and forth to Purdue with no results. Then one day I the owner and he told me of their problems with this dog and how his show career was over because of his skin problem. I knew he was on a very good diet so I figured something else was going on. So I asked the owner "do you use Carpet Fresh?".......he replied, "Oh yes, 2 -3 times a week, we have two males in the house". I said, "Well, sir more than likely that is your problem, you will need to have your carpets professionally cleaned to have the stuff remove and the dog will be fine." I ran into them weeks later and he was glad to report once they cleaned the carpets and bathed the dog, the skin the problem went away.
If you think you have to use something on your carpet just use baking soda. Tide detergent, as well as other detergents can be a very big problem if used on dog bedding. Just wash bedding in bleach no soap and NO softeners which can trigger respiratory reactions in young animals and children in particular
Any aerosol sprays, like air freshener and especially Lysol and other
kinds of disinfectants. Do not use them. Yard, flower, bug sprays
and sprayed fields in agricultural areas
all of these things
can cause serious contact allergy reactions. And lastly, swimming
pools with chemicals/chlorine can also be a serious problem for skin
and coats.
Suggestion For Food or Contact Allergies
On The Inside:
On The Outside:
Skin condition: Mist or wipe the spots with a solution of Oxy-Drops (1 teaspoon + 1 cup distilled water). 2-3 times a day until the condition subsides. (877-816-6500). Never use Oxy-Drops full strength.

If you didn't know it already as a fact, you certainly would be forgiven for suspecting your paychecks don't go nearly as far as they used to.
Writing in the latest issue of Alaska Economic Trends, an Alaska Department of Labor economist said that what $29,420 the statewide average annual salary at the time would have bought you in 1989, would have required $42,800 by 2003 after adjusting for inflation. The trouble is that by 2003, the average Alaskan was earning just $37,360.
Although the salary in-crease represented a 27-percent increase in "nominal" (unadjusted) dollars, when inflation was factored in, it represented a 13 percent decline in purchasing power, said economist Neal Gilbertsen.
That decline is a result of the shift to the Alaska economic pace of the 1990s from the boom of the 1970s and 1980s when high-paying industry jobs were plentiful, oil revenues allowed the state to push up public-sector salaries, and consumers saw prices climb in response.
"Booms, by their very nature are temporary economic phenomena," Gilbertsen said.
The maturing economy of the 1990s saw a decline in jobs in high-paying fields, he said, and a growth in low-paying jobs in service industries. Between 1989 and 1996, the CPI adjusted annual earnings declined steadily and haven't changed much since, according to state figures. That trend registered in both the private- and public-sector job markets.
Nevertheless, said Gilbertsen, "The myth of Alaska as the land of high wages had been established and endured."
Of note within the labor statistics, however, are diverging trends within the government sector. Gilbertsen showed that in 1989, state and local government workers earned more than their federal counterparts.
In CPI adjusted dollars, federal workers averaged $44,604 in 1989 compared to state workers who earned $50,312 and local government employees taking in an average of $45,791.
Fourteen years later, the situation had reversed. Federal workers saw their wages climb 22.3 percent to $54,564, while those of state workers fell 21.4 percent to $39,540. Local government workers, meanwhile, saw their average earnings decline by 25.2 percent to $34,260.
"In terms of purchasing power, federal workers were $10,000 better off than they were in 1989, while state and local government workers had seen their earnings decline by a similar amount," Gilbertsen said.
"The feds are adjusting for the cost of living for their employees, while the rest of us aren't doing that well," Gilbertsen said in an interview Friday.
He also said it was difficult to break down the effects of the shifting trends beyond comparing the general categories of private-sector and public-sector jobs. Isolating individual private-sector industries and culling comparative figures was difficult because in 2001 the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics changed its industrial classification system from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).
As a result, most private-sector categories began representing a new mix of industries. The SIC and the NAICS are not directly comparable, Gilbertsen said.
Transference of some 3,300 tribal employees from Alaska's private sector to the local government category in 2001 contributed to the decline in local government earnings while providing a small gain in the private sector earnings that year. However, both effects were small.
Noting the recent rapid rise in oil prices, Gilbertsen said state revenues should reflect an increase. Stars may be aligning for a gas pipeline project and the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. It is yet to be seen whether that will lead to another boom.
"If they do, Alaska will probably see increases in average annual earnings, but it is also likely that the state will experience increasing inflationary pressures," he said.

My boss might be an alcoholic; should I raise my concerns?
I am an assistant subject leader in a high school and am about 80% sure my boss turned up drunk at work today. He was late and when I bumped into him, he seemed dazed and intoxicated. He also smelled of alcohol.
As we were talking, our headteacher approached for a chat. He later asked me what was wrong with my boss; I said I was a bit worried. The head mentioned my boss had been under a lot of pressure recently and it was probably just getting a bit much for him. I was tempted to voice my suspicions, but I'd feel awful if I caused problems for an essentially good guy, who does his job well.
He has made me uncomfortable in the past with lengthy, rambling phone calls to me, while appearing heavily under the influence of alcohol. However I would love to be able to give him the benefit of the doubt – could he be on medication? Or could it be that he just had a one-off heavy night and turned up hung over? By the end of the day he seemed fine and a subtle check with other colleagues indicated no problems at all.
It'd be horrible to have him accused and potentially risk his whole career, if I turn out to be wrong. But if my suspicions are correct am I right in finding this entirely unacceptable?
In matters of this kind, being about 80% sure is 20% short of being sure enough. You were right not to voice your suspicions to the headteacher: it would have been unwarranted and unhelpful and might have planted an entirely unjustified seed of doubt in your headteacher's mind.
I do, of course, understand your unease, though you must be careful that your proper concern for the school and its pupils doesn't get overtaken by a rather less admirable sense of moral righteousness. This unworthy thought of mine was prompted by your asking, "If my suspicions are correct then am I right in finding this entirely unacceptable?" All you should worry about at this stage is the health and wellbeing of your boss and its effect on his job.
The most reassuring part of your letter is that brief encounter with the headteacher. You now know, with first-hand certainty, the head has not only seen your boss behaving strangely but also knows he's been under a lot of pressure recently. (He may well know more than that, but rightly wouldn't have shared it with you).
So for the moment, you can responsibly do nothing. If there are no further worrying episodes, you can begin to forget it all; it won't matter whether it was temporary medication or an out-of-character bin ge. But if your boss continues to show signs that could be stress- and/or drink-induced, the chances are that your headteacher will take the necessary action.
Only if the behaviour continues to be concerning and the head shows no signs of intervening do you have any real responsibility. Even then, don't express your suspicion that your boss is drunk at work; that's still unproven speculation. Simply tell your head that you're concerned for your boss's health and believe that he might appreciate help. That should be enough to prompt your head, however reluctantly, into taking action.
I want to stay in the public service, but redundancies loom
I work for a primary care trust and redundancies are looming. I have developed a good knowledge of the NHS over the past four years. However I am concerned that I will not fit in with this new world order: I find the proposed changes heralded by Andrew Lansley's white paper pretty unpalatable. I'm not allergic to change; I see it as an opportunity and have changed jobs fairly frequently over the years when things have become repetitive.
I have worked in public service or not-for-profit organisations because this works for me; I think I may struggle working for a profit-making organisation. I realise this is a lofty ideal and although I don't want to hold myself to ransom for my principles, I know that to be happy at work this needs to be a priority.
I know I have transferable skills but have no idea where to look. Public service is shrinking, vacancies are frozen and charity funding streams are drying up. Have you any bright ideas?
At the moment, your blanket disapproval of private sector healthcare is severely limiting your options. Please don't stop reading immediately; I'm not going to encourage you to abandon all your most deeply-felt beliefs and join all those "greedy pigs" at the trough. I'm just urging you to entertain the possibility there could be some profit-seeking companies that are just as caring, just as concerned for the health and happiness of their patients, and just as successful in their delivery as any not-for-profit equivalent.
From your remark about "for-profit organisations looking to line their pockets", I assume you've had some disillusioning experiences of them or that your prejudices are firmly held.
In the right hands, profits allow a company to enjoy management independence, pay staff well and to invest, develop and experiment without having to appeal to some distant body for a bigger grant. I am not, please believe me, asking you to accept that all profit-seeking enterprises are such paragons; neither am I asking you to abandon your fundamental respect and affection for the public sector.
But in health as in education, it seems to me that individuals who are driven above all by a fierce determination to deliver – and are open-minded enough to entertain alternative ways of making that delivery possible – are going to be greatly valued in the next 10 years or so.
By all means retain your proper scepticism; but healthcare is going to need people like you, so please don't close your mind to anything before you've taken a long hard look at it.

Readers' Advice
A letter from a business development manager who wanted advice on how to handle an over-eager temp (31 July) prompted this reply:
• The writer can actively manage some of the issues in order to develop that staff member. Give her feedback on aspects of her performance that are probably a block (the interruptions, the questioning). A good manager should enjoy working with highly capable, commited staff rather than see them as a threat and not pass value judgment about co-workers' preferred working patterns just because they happen to be different from their own. A good manager should be strong enough to be able to support workers and challenge them in amending individual negative aspects of performance. oommph on theguardian.com/work
A letter from a woman working at a publishing house who asked if she was being taken for granted and underpaid because she is a woman (31 July) prompted these responses:
• People don't understand that there is a difference between low pay and being underpaid. Many jobs are low paid for all sorts of reasons and if the only work available is in one of these then there is not a lot you can do. But if you think you are being underpaid for the work you do, get another job at more money. If you can't, you are not underpaid. Charles Cronin, by email
• You have asked for a rise three times without success, so it is clear this is not going to happen. If you are not appreciated, you need to transfer your skills to a new job. Surely you have lots of contacts in the industry. Could you quietly tap these to see whether there are any roles going at other companies? DrMarcusBrody on theguardian.com/work

Despite distinct Republican majorities ruling each chamber, groups favoring candidates from both sides of the aisle came out in droves last month to give their candidates or parties an extra jolt of cash in this week's election.
As if hinting at the gravity of discussions lawmakers promise to have about expanding education reforms, gun laws and health care, the groups dishing some of the last-minute money to candidates have issues before the legislature next year.
"Political money is odd. People give it for different reasons. Some people, frankly and sadly, give it because they think it influences," said Tom Ingram, a political consultant and longtime operative in Tennessee elections dating back to 1978.
The influx of cash came in the month of October, a time when candidates were itching for extra funds to refill their depleting campaign coffers, buy last-minute mailers, TV and radio ads and show financial power going into the home stretch.
The top contributors — outside the state's two major political parties — largely represented education interests.
"More and more often, I think people give to the side that they ideologically support to bolster, reinforce, give them the tools they need to advance the ideology they share," he said.
"You see potential strength for or against you, based on the ideology of the PAC," said Ingram. "And they're disconcerting in some ways, because you don't know who the individuals behind them are."
Top contributors coming to the rescue in the waning days of the campaign may hope lawmakers remember them kindly during the next two-year legislative session when their issue comes up for a vote.
One of the state's highest rollers was the Tennessee Federation for Children, a branch of the pro-school-choice group, the American Federation for Children, based in Washington, D.C. The PAC handed out $145,000 worth of campaign contributions and mailers to support GOP candidates.
Also in the mix is Students First, a like-minded education reform group that gave more than $66,000 exclusively to Republicans in the last few weeks before the general election. Its founder, Michelle Rhee, is the controversial education reform advocate who made waves as chancellor of schools in Washington, D.C., when she fired teachers whose students showed poor academic growth.
But more than ties, the influx of money strengthens the suggestion that there will be pressure on lawmakers to deliver on further education reforms this year, despite worry among school boards like Metro Nashville's that the state is moving too quickly to expand charter school laws and usher in a school vouchers program.
There's little doubt that the interest groups adding money to political discourse may want to get something out of it from lawmakers, said Ingram. But the question is how much that will ultimately influence legislators' decisions.
"Two plus two equals four. You can say you don't pay attention to it, but you do. That doesn't necessarily mean that you pay inappropriate attention to it, but you have an awareness," he said.
Laborers, too, came out en force in the final weeks. The Plumbers and Pipefitters Education Committee, combined with the Tennessee Pipe Trades Association, coughed up almost $140,000, largely for Democrats. The Tennessee Laborers PAC put down $37,000 last month, including $20,000 to the House Democratic Caucus.
Gun rights advocates threw in more than $33,000 to finish off what has been an intense election cycle.
Giving mainly to Republicans and a few key Democrats, the National Rifle Association has made no secret that it wants to allow gun owners to take their weapons with them on their commute and legally keep their firearms locked in their cars while on the job.
Top members of leadership scoffed at the idea last year and prevented legislation from coming up for a vote, although firearms advocates shot back by unloading more than $100,000 in a Sumner County Republican primary race to unseat Rep. Debra Maggart, a top caucus lieutenant.
Didn't you forget (or deliberately) leave out the biggest contributor of all: Nancy Pelosi's Majority Pack that donated almost $200,000 in one Tn Congressional race?
Moonglow1: Outside meddling from PAC money is bad for any state. The National Tea Agenda is not an individual state solution. All politics should be local! Until Grover Norquist, ALEC, and Citizens United are scraped, there will be no USA as we know it.
And Michelle Rhea is an immature snot! She was run out of DC and now works for the health care crook and governor of Florida (Rick Scott).
I hope Obama trounces Bishop Romney, a Mormon cult leader. Now we are legitimizing a cult.
Too bad for those of us living in TN: with a Tea majority we will be murdered. How? More guns, Charter School rip offs, back to the dark ages in education.
The USA is #25 in global standing.

GamerDNA have posted a new exclusive screenshot of the Old Tarantia Commons area that's coming to Age of Conan in the 1.05 update. It shows the most of this area nicely from a bird's eye camera perspective. See it below or head to GamerDNA for a full quality screenshot.
We've seen how rich people live in the Old Tarantia with the merchants, temples, civic buildings, the villas in the Noble District, and even the palace of the King Conan himself. Now we get to see the Tarantia Commons where poor folk get to stay, a sort of ghetto in the Old Tarantia with street fights, gang wars and even a leper colony.
Tarantia Commons will be a lvl70+ area instead of the previously intended 40+, which I think is a great move since leveling in AoC is quite fast. Expect Tarantia Commons to be added to the Hyborian Adventures really soon.

It has been recently revealed that there are many people who don't get diagnosed for their health problems because they find it awkward to discuss things with your doctor. This is a major problem being faced by people in the world these days. There are many people who find it difficult to go and talk their hearts out to their doctor and don't really have the nerve to be able to disclose to the doctor what problem they are undergoing.
This in turn leads to a number of problems. It firstly leads to misdiagnosis or under-diagnosis of a problem. It is really essential for patients to be able to talk to their doctors well. This is because the doctor shall make assumptions about your health condition till the time you don't open up and talk to him.
People need to understand that they have to be frank with their doctors. This alone shall help him make the right sort of diagnosis according to the problem you are facing.
"The IPC program is an opportunity to build a network of highly motivated health care practitioners who work as a team to ensure patient-centered care at each stage of the patient visit", said Casey Cooper, Cherokee Indian Hospital's CEO.

CBS yesterday pulled their five-year offer to split MLB coverage with Fox, according to Rudy Martzke of USA TODAY. CBS was expected to pay between $80-90M for a deal giving the network two World Series, but new owner Westinghouse "won't OK those numbers and a Thursday night regular season package." CBS "could remain" in the picture, and ABC and possibly NBC "might pay $70 million a year, but that would surely" bring Fox down from its $110M a year offer to $100M or lower. MLB officials had hoped to announce a new TV deal during the World Series, but that is now a remote possibility with news of CBS' withdrawal (USA TODAY, 10/25). JUST TAKING IN A BALLGAME? Acting MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol sat together during last night's Game 3. The two were shown talking and laughing during NBC's broadcast. Ebersol was outfitted in full NBC Sports garb ("1995 World Series," NBC, 10/24). MLB NEWS & NOTES: It appears that Fox affiliates are "embracing" the possibility of baseball as a vehicle to "boost their profiles," according to Milton Kent in Baltimore. The stations may lose some revenue during the regular season, but the opportunity to present post-season and World Series games would "make baseball palatable" (Baltimore SUN, 10/25). On World Series coverage, Barry Horn in Dallas writes that from a "technical standpoint," the telecasts are a reminder that NBC and ABC "know how to produce baseball" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 10/24).

King will host the Packers Brett Favre this Thursday at 8:00pm (SI)...Modern Times Group AB, a subsidiary of Swedish media conglomerate Kinnevik, said yesterday it will start a commercial TV channel early next year with sports programming for satellite and cable broadcast in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The channel will be developed in cooperation with Trans World Int'l, the TV arm of IMG. Rights have been secured for European Cup Soccer, Italian Soccer League, Ice Hockey World Championships, the NFL, and U.S. Open tennis (MTG).
TCI Inc. is reportedly in talks with News Corp.'s Fox to join their TV sports operations in creating a "national rival" to ESPN. Terms of a deal "are sketchy," according to the WALL STREET JOURNAL, but sources say that Fox is in discussions to purchase a piece of Liberty Sports Inc., the sports programming division of TCI. The negotiations still have "unresolved issues" and could "fall apart." A deal could allow TCI to "wring more value" from Liberty's 14 regional cable channels, and an agreement could give Fox "a boost" with "attractive local games." A partnership with TCI's John Malone and News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch "would create a potent competitor to any sports programmer, but particularly ESPN" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/25). Fox and TCI may also "try to bring in" Cablevision Systems, which through its programming arm of Rainbow Holdings owns 10 key regional sports networks, including SportsChannel New York and half of MSG (VARIETY, 10/23 issue).
TVKO, the pay-per-view arm of Time Warner Sports, and its marketing partners will spend between $8-10M to promote the November 4 Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield fight, according to Langdon Brockinton of INSIDE MEDIA. Ads will be featured during the World Series, "Late Night with David Letterman," college football, and ESPN's "SportsCenter." National print ads -- including "full-page takeouts" in SI and USA TODAY -- and national and local radio ads will also run. In addition, a half- hour preview will run several times on HBO. Marketing partners include Budweiser, AT&T, Southwest Airlines, and Casio. Bud gets its logo on ring post and mat, while AT&T gets "opening and closing billboards" on the PPV telecast (INSIDE MEDIA, 10/18-31).
