By Thursday morning, Ted was really unwell, and as the bloods had come back clear for pancreatitis, it seemed like the only option was surgery. They all had another feel of his tummy, and said the lump was much closer to his out pipe than it had been the night before, so they'd push fluids through faster, and operate after consults if there was still no change. At lunchtime Ted seemed much brighter, the lump had shifted even further down, so they thought it would clear itself, if he was supported with fluids, antepsin (which he hates) cerenia (which is painful and makes him cry...for anyone elses dog who has to have this antiemetic, it hurts much less if given freezing cold) and pain meds. They then checked his bum again, and pulled out a few more bits of Pella, which seemed too small to have caused any problem, but were very sharp. Sam had been telling me that the boy was very gassy, and I just knew that at some point, he was going to explode, and some poor bugger was going to be caught in a hail of Pella shrapnel. In a way I hoped it was me, because I really didnt need a law suit being brought against me by some old lady who just happened to be standing too close to Ted, when he detonated. By late Thursday afternoon, nurses, vets and receptionists, were taking it in turns to try and persuade my little time bomb to eat, and by the time he came home, he'd eaten almost a whole can of tuna. So not only was he going to explode, and cause facial disfigurement to anyone caught up in the blast, but his victim/s were also going to be picking fish out of their wounds. He came home late Thursday evening, as it was thought he'd eat more at home, and that would push the obstruction through. By this point, I was ready to call in Dyno-Rod, or connect the hoover pipe to him, or roll him up like a tube of toothpaste and squeeze it out of him, but they promised Ted would soon no longer be a danger to the public. He fell asleep as soon as he got home,( in his very pink bandage, that the nurses had put I love you stickers on...aww) but woke up at about 11pm, and went out into the garden. I was following him around with a bloody torch, but he certainly wasn't enjoying his new found celebrity status, and hated being stalked around the garden. He did a few pee's, and I did a few sighs, followed by, ffs shit you little sod, and like the well trained, obedient boy that he isn't, he assumed the position, and did the dump of his life. I really didn't want to pick it up and have a look, but I knew I had to... not a single piece of dear old Pella to be found, just enough Madge fur to knit a pair of ear muffs for every Spinone in the UK.
What we think happened, was, he ate the cats leg, and that slowed his tummy down a bit, because he didn't eat the day he did that, then the next day he had chicken wings, which dehydrated his gut a bit more, then on Monday, I spent ages grooming Madge, and had a huge pile of her on the floor, which he obviously helped himself to, and that combination of events, turned the boy into Surrey's very own, weapon of mass destruction.
He's now safely defused, and slowly getting back to eating and being a pain in the bum.
The practice sent him a present, of a camouflaged Kong Wubba this morning, for being such a brave soldier, but within twenty minutes, it became a victim of a random act of Ted violence, and joined an ever growing list of missing in action casualties, I keep in the, must mend one day drawer.

On the 25th of September, the northern autonomous region of Iraq known as Kurdistan voted to become an independent country. This vote has led to a current standoff between the central Iraqi government and the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), with the Kurds threatening to cut off internet service into Iraq in retaliation for any punitive measures inflicted by Baghdad on the KRG. The following analysis was written by Doug Madory of Oracle Dyn after ISIS took control of Mosul, Iraq in 2014. It describes how the internet of Iraq came to be dependent on international connections through telecoms based in Kurdistan. more
At 03:22 UTC on Friday, 25 August 2017, the Internet experienced the effects of another massive BGP routing leak. This time it was Google who leaked over 160,000 prefixes to Verizon, who in turn accepted these routes and passed them on. Despite the fact that the leak took place in Chicago, Illinois, it had devastating consequences for the internet in Japan, half a world away. Two of Japan's major telecoms (KDDI and NTT's OCN) were severely affected, posting outage notices (KDDI / OCN pictured below). more
Internet service in and around Mogadishu, Somalia suffered a crippling blow recently as the East African Submarine System (EASSy) cable, which provides service to the area, was cut by the anchor of a passing ship. The government of Somalia estimated that the impact of the submarine cable cut was US$10 million per day and detained the MSC Alice, the cargo vessel that reportedly caused the damage. more
The northern Syrian city of Aleppo is one of the key battlegrounds of that country's on-going civil war as well as the epicenter of the European refugee crisis. The most appropriate United States response to events in Aleppo has become a major foreign policy question among the candidates in this year's U.S. presidential election. Experts are now predicting that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, backed by the Russian military, will take control of rebel-held eastern Aleppo within weeks. more

I don't often enter photography competitions but I made an exception for this year's Capture Magazine "Australia's Top Emerging Photographers" award. I'd always meant to enter and this year was my last chance before I'm done 'emerging', (does that mean I get to become a beautiful butterfly soon?!). It's one of the contests I respect the most and a great predictor of further awesomeness, congratulations to this year's winner, the lovely Morgan Roberts and all the other finalists and highly commended photographers. I was lucky enough to score a high commendation for the portfolio I entered.
Mega thanks to all the couples (and grandparents, unknown Italian strangers, and puppies) who made these fabulous images with me!

Bayern 99.99% win the Bundesliga after Bremen sink Schalke; Leverkusen & Dortmund only pick up draws; Hertha Berlin relegated; Hamburg hit four; Hannover smack six
Bayern Munich 3 – Bochum 1 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Bochum's defence was breached after 17 minutes at the Allainz Arena as Lahm whipped in a cross from the right and Thomas Muller chested the ball over the line for the Champions League finalists, Bayern. Minutes later Bayern established a 2-nil lead as Ribery volleyed a crossed back into the box from the left and Thomas Muller was again in the right place to head in number two. Bayern killed the match with a third midway through the second half as Thomas Muller stole the headlines with his hat-trick goal. A brilliant free-kick from Christian Fuchs late on proved mere consolation for Bochum.
Schalke 0 – Werder Bremen 2 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) After a goalless first half (highlights here) between Schalke and Werder Bremen, Felix Magath saw his second place side lose the Bundesliga championship early in the second half when Mesut Ozil weaved his way through the home defence to curl in a 55th minute opener. Soon after Hugo Almeida netted a killer second to torpedo the hosts' title dreams.
Bayer Leverkusen 1 – Hertha Berlin 1 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Against the form book, lowly Hertha Berlin struck first at Bayer Leverkusen when Raffael volleyed home a beauty from the edge of the box. Manuel Friedrich's header on the hour brought Bayer back on a level footing.
Hamburg 4 – Nurnberg 0 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Licking their Fulham wounds, Jonathan Pitroipa put Hamburg in a 10th minute lead over relegation strugglers Nurnberg. Mladen Petric sidefooted Hamburg into a 2-nil after 20 minutes and Petric closed out a one-sided first half with a third for the hosts. Ruud van Nistelrooy wrapped up the points with a fourth in the second half.
Hannover 6 – Monchengladbach 1 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) After Karim Haggui had headed Hannover into a 15th minute lead over Gladbach the floodgates opened in the first half as Sergio Pinto, Didier Ya Konan and Mike Hanke all got on the scoresheet in the opening 45. Gladbach's humiliation grew when Sofien Chahed added a fifth early in the second half, Patrick Herrmann got the visitors on the scoreboard, before Arnold Jan Bruggink sealed an emphatic home win with a sixth.
FC Cologne 2 – Freiburg 2 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Manchester United's loanee Zoran Tosic hit a sweet left-footed shot to fire Cologne into the lead over Freiburg, but the visitors hit back through Mohamadou Idrissou on the half hour. Idrissou fired Freiburg ahead in the second half with a low left-footed drive from 20-yards. Sebastian Freis earned a point for Cologne converting a corner at the near post.
Eintracht Frankfurt 1 – Hoffenheim 2 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Pirmin Schwegler fired Frankfurt into a 20th minute lead over Hoffenheim. Prince Tagoe came off the bench to level 10 minutes from time and Tagoe grabbed the winner two minutes from the end.
Borussia Dortmund 1 – Wolfsburg 1 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Borussia had a great chance to take the lead in the first half when they won a penalty but Nuri Sahin saw his spot-kick superbly turned aside. Edin Dzeko put last year's champions in the lead with a cheeky backheel in the second half, but Dortmund salvaged a point through Marco Stiepermann's left-footed drive.
Stuttgart 2 – Mainz 2 (Bundesliga, May 1, 2010) Malik Fathi and Andre Schurrle scored on 53 and 64 minutes respectively for Mainz before Ciprian Marica struck on 72 and 74 minutes for Stuttgart.

Counting to D by Kate Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Counting to D by Kate Scott is a cute and easy read.
Sam is a teenage girl with dyslexia. She is really bad at reading and language, but really good at math. Her disability has pretty much been hidden until she moves to a new school. She starts to make new friends, some of who know her secret. She meets and falls in love with Nate, a cute smart boy. Will Sam survive at this school without being able to read?
I really liked this book. Sam was a good character who was really cool. She worried about normal things and had a lot of common sense for her age. For example, she used audiobooks of her textbooks and reading materials to "read" the materials. I really liked Sam's character and found her a good role model.
Nate was very cute. He was a senior and class valedictorian. When he starts dating Sam, he doesn't make fun of her for not being able to read, but helps her learn. However, some of his friends so make fun of her.
One of the highlights of this book is the relationship Sam has with her mom. Sam and her mom get along fairly well, and learn to get along even though the mom is really busy. Since most young adult novels have ignorant parental figures, this was refreshing.
I also enjoyed the way Sam has to join special ed. She is mad about it, but makes friends with special education kids and learns that they all have a life. They aren't that different than her.
Overall, this is a good book with cool messages.

ALFRETON Town manager Nicky Law insists his side will not be easing off to the end of the season despite guaranteeing their Blue Square Bet Premier Division status for a second year with three games to spare.The Reds endured a bitter-sweet Easter Monday as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against play-off chasing York City but then found that results elsewhere meant they have finally earned themselves a second season in the Conference Premier Division."We want to go and get as many points as we can. We certainly won't be getting the flip-flops and Speedo's on! said Law. "We owe it to everybody to go and do our best and that is what we will do."We will rest the players up this week. They have had a real tough couple of months. We will rest up for Saturday and go again for what will be another tough game against Luton."We have wanted to have a look at a couple of players but we have been in a lot of pressure games and to have chucked the likes of Danny Meadows [on loan from Nottingham Forest] in would have been a bit unfair on him."He has had 15 minutes at the end against York and shown what he is about. Nicky Deverdics has come on and again looked well, kept us the ball well and we will now go to try and win as many games as we can, get as many points as we can."A run of seven wins in eight games had propelled Alfreton away from the relegation zone before the York game and it is a case of mission accomplished for manager Nicky Law and his team, but he admitted at times he thought the club had all on to stay in the division."I am an optimistic person, but I must admit there have been times where I have sat on my own and thought Christ, we have got all on here. At one stage we did look doomed. If you go back two months and I don't think too many people would think we would be in the position we are now."To be fair, we have worked hard, the lads have been fantastic and we have dug ourselves out of it and gained ourselves another twelve months in the division."Law had no arguments about his team's 2-0 home defeat against York City on Easter Monday.He added: "I have no complaints, we were beaten by the better team. If you look at the team sheet before they game, they were able to make four or five changes to their squad from the Saturday game and you could see the quality they have got."We have come up against a quality side who have got a lot of quality and strength in depth. Today we were not good enough, I have to be honest about that."To be fair, I felt that we didn't set about the game as we normally do. We looked tired. I am not making excuses now. Emotionally and physically, the last eight, nine, ten games, the players have given everything they have got. They should be proud of their efforts."We had a lot of tired legs and tired players. We are not blessed with a massive squad that we can make wholesale changes and probably be confident that we can win football matches, and that is not being disrespectful to anyone."

Words Are Stupid
The Black Swans: Words Are Stupid
The new album by The Black Swans, Words Are Stupid, is a batch of tunes recorded on 4-tracks and computers in kitchens, basements, and living rooms bound by the central theme of language letting us down and mucking us up. A little bit country and a little bit doom folk, the world of The Black Swans is where humans aren't animals as much as they admire them. A drunk boyfriend goes deaf in Buenos Aires; an artist paints a rooster; couples (don't) learn from the felines and the canines in the comics; cowards climb trees unable to assimilate with monkeys. Throughout, there is a lot of kazoo-ing, the wordless purr of joy. Pitchfork called The Black Swans last album "a sort of blues, full of thoroughly digested worry and world-weariness" and Dusted called their debut "one of the best, most overlooked new folk records of the psych-folk revival". Words Are Stupid is another left turn down the same WTF road traveled by kindred spirits like Hazelwood, Zevon, Robyn Hitchcock, and Michael Hurley. The vinyl LP features 200 different photographs of the same 40 poses from 5 photographers in a field of concrete corn framed in a silk-screened cock-and-balls drawing.

A hyperbaric chamber is a device used to deliver hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which is the intake of oxygen-rich or oxygen-pure air. Though considered controversial early in its development, the hyperbaric chamber has become an accepted treatment for a variety of conditions, from carbon monoxide poisoning to promoting injury recovery. Modern chambers can either be hard or soft, that is, either a rigid pressure vessel or a portable, tent-like apparatus.
The basic principle behind hyperbaric chamber therapy is that cells repair themselves more efficiently when exposed to a higher oxygen content via the blood. It was first developed as a treatment for air embolisms known as the bends, which is a condition in which nitrogen bubbles form in the blood as a result of quick pressure change, suffered often by deep sea divers who surface too quickly. HBOT serves the dual-purpose of preventing oxygen starvation in the cells, while eliminating the excess nitrogen from the blood.
Less intense treatments were quickly discovered to be beneficial in other, non-emergency applications. Sitting in an oxygen rich environment for several hours at a time, over a period of days and weeks, was found to promote general healing in addition to helping a number of specific conditions. In a U.S. hospital, the average cost for an hour's worth of hyperbaric treatment ranges anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 US Dollars (USD). Much of this cost is increasingly covered by insurance, as the list of afflictions treatable with HBOT has grown considerably through the first decade of the 21st century. Ocular and limb degeneration due to diabetes, slow-healing or necrotic wounds, and skin grafts are just a few of the problems found to respond favorably to HBOT.
The hard version is probably what springs to mind when picturing a hyperbaric chamber. These traditional machines are made out of a strong metal, like steel or aluminum, with small plexiglass or acrylic windows. Smaller ones fit only one person at a time, but large chambers can fit upwards of a dozen people at once, or those who need apparatus, such as a wheelchair or hospital bed. Soft chambers are typically a flexible, plastic skin stretched over a steel skeleton, with a zippered seam as opposed to a steel hatch.
In a larger, multi-person chamber, individual patients or staff must wear a personal breathing mask, similar to those that fighter pilots wear, to deliver the prescribed ratio of oxygen to normal air. In a small hard chamber or a portable one, the entire enclosure is filled with the correct ratio of gases, and the patient is able to breathe freely. Though not able to deliver the nearly-pure oxygen levels that a hard enclosure can achieve, soft chambers are useful for claustrophobic or home-bound patients who only need mild hyperbaric therapy.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

You learn the damnedest things from server logs…
While browsing through today's server activity I discovered a connection (from an army.mil IP range no less) to this post by one Mr Tyler Riggs.
The server also records where the connection originated from. This one is a bit … unusual for the traffic we normally get.
That's right. Somehow we are currently #1 on Yahoo's search for "lady midgets".
So I'd like to give a warm welcome to the pba.army.mil user who found our site while searching Yahoo, and a well deserved "Are you happy now?" to Mr Riggs.
Well done! 🙂

H3-Honor the Classroom/School Community as a Milieu for Learning [1]. It is essential that all teacher candidates work hard to create an environment where students can learn, be safe, and grow. There are so many aspects that go into building a better learning environment, and I believe that teachers should do all that they can to make this happen [1]. Throughout my experience in EDU 2200, Foundations and Educational Psychology, I have learned new information that can help me apply this HOPE standard in my future classroom. I was asked to write a reflection of the course while thinking about ways in which I can implement this standard of H3, the link to the reflection can be found here: Lessons that Build Excellent Teachers [2].
As I reflected on our lessons about developmental theories/theorists, child abuse/neglect, and the history of American public education, I also found that each of these lessons could teach me new ways to practice this standard in my future [3]. For example, I was able to view student learning in a new light after learning about the theories of Piaget and Bandura. Additionally, I touched on the importance of student safety in the section about child abuse/neglect, because if the classroom is supposed to be an environment for learning, it must first be a safe place. Finally, I reviewed an interesting new piece of history I learned from this course and thought about how this was going against the standard of H3. I then considered the ways in which America has changed since then and how our schools are continuing to move forward in order to better student learning environments. This reflection displays my understanding of how I can honor the classroom/school community as a milieu for learning by encouraging me to take what I have learned in this course and use it as a resource for how I will want to set up my future classroom [3].
Completing this reflection has taught me to use the knowledge I am gaining from these courses and apply them into my future classroom in order to create a better learning environment [4]. It has helped me gather up the major themes and take-aways from this course into one collective review, and it has made me realize how much can be learned in only ten short weeks [4]. As a future educator, this knowledge of how to incorporate the H3 standard will benefit both my students and I, because the classroom is a place for everyone to learn, student and staff combined [5]. I hope to extend my knowledge on this topic by researching more ways in which I can inspire and encourage learning to take place [6]. Additionally, getting to know student needs and wants and assisting them with these would greatly benefit this process and support learning [6].

Mushroom risoto (vegan; gluten free)
This is my favorite in all favorites! Made it 1,5x portion this weekend and..it made like 4 portions – three LARGE portions:P…since it's nearly impossible to stop eating it if you can see leftovers. The one on the picture is a little one – just to pretend I'm not a eating monster. First time I made it … I needed a pair of extra hands. Last time I was skilled enough to do it alone:P and I almost didn't burn anything (ok…a little too much heat for garlic…it shouldn't be black)
- 50 g of baby spinach
- juice from 1/4 of little (not the big mutant one) lemon
First of all cut spinach in strips and mix it with lemon juice. Have it waiting near by, Then:
- 0,75 l of vegetable broth
boil it and have it waiting with a big scoop in it.
Now take a big thick-bottomed pot and:
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 onion (or half of red one and half of white one – like I did last time)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 250 ml risoto rice
- 75 ml of white wine
… onion and garlic chopped fine and sauted in olive oil (5 min), risoto rice added and cooked for another 5 minutes (stressing and stirring all the time), wine added. When wine is gone start adding vegetable broth (scoop at a time..stirring like crazy just in case).
Now put on a pan:
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 250g of champignons
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp of salt
And add this stuff into rice pot…STIR!
- 200 ml of vegan cooking cream
If rice seems almost ready and you are out of broth add vegetable cream and spinach stuff.
Stir and boil it for 3 more minutes until rice is completely soft and creamy and delicious. Take it away from stove and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Serve it with rest of the white wine. If it is not all gone…after this stressful BUT rewarding cooking process. Enjoy!
