The day before her birthday, Emily in Baton Rouge was lamenting the fact that her husband had never once surprised me with a cookie cake. (Hint, hint.)
The next day, her husband "surprised" her with what Emily called "quite possibly the best present I've ever received — not only hilarious, but delicious as well!"

Writes Susan in Delaware: "My family and I live in a very large apartment complex and recently discovered a mother cat and her five kittens living in the bushes. We called a local trap/neuter/return charity so that we could get the kittens and her mom basic vet care, shots, and neutering. We posted notes next to each trap explaining exactly what we were doing, and that all housecats with collars/tags would be immediately released."
Over the course of a week, Susan says, no non-feral cats were caught, but for whatever reason one of the neighbors decided to steal all of the traps and replace them with this lovely note.
"The kicker of all this is that trapping feral cats actually protects the health of house cats," Susan says. "Even if their cat did get accidentally picked up it would have gotten free vet care, since I'm the one coughing up $35 per cat for the honor of watching, baiting, and setting the traps multiple times per day."
Adds Susan: "The 'Yetters' mentioned is a nearby liquor store. I assume the writer of this note spends a lot of time there."

DEERFIELD, Ill., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Following an announcement today from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding an update to its safety review of ACTOS, Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. (Takeda) is confident in the therapeutic benefits of ACTOS and its importance as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. The company remains committed to ACTOS and ACTOS-containing medications, and to the millions of people living with the disease.
Takeda is dedicated to patient safety, and to ensuring that patients and physicians have accurate information regarding ACTOS. Takeda is committed to ongoing clinical research to understand and investigate potential safety concerns, and, working with appropriate regulatory agencies, is currently supporting a ten-year epidemiological study, started in 2002 by the University of Pennsylvania (U. of Penn.) and Kaiser Permanente Diabetes Registry, Northern California (KPNC), investigating the questions raised about ACTOS and bladder cancer. Takeda has been working with the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) and has provided them with interim data from this study on a regular basis. Takeda is committed to supporting this study through its conclusion at the end of 2012 and will report on the final results upon completion.
In the interim analysis of this epidemiologic data, published in Diabetes Care April 2011, the primary endpoint showed that treatment with ACTOS was not associated with a statistically significant increase in the incidence of bladder cancer. The investigators reported that "short-term use of pioglitazone was not associated with an increased incidence of bladder cancer, but use for more than two years was weakly associated with increased risk."
Based on its recent data review, FDA has informed the public that "...use of the diabetes medication ACTOS (pioglitazone) for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer."

This release is available in German.
Of all global carbon dioxide emissions, less than half accumulate in the atmosphere where it contributes to global warming. The remainder is hidden away in oceans and terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, grasslands and peat-lands. Stimulating this "free service" of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems is considered one of the main, immediately available ways of reducing climate change. However, new greenhouse gas bookkeeping has revealed that for the European continent this service isn't free after all. These findings are presented in the most recent edition of Nature Geoscience (Advanced Online Publication, November 22, 2009).
Researchers from 17 European countries cooperating in the EU-Integrated Project CarboEurope, led by Detlef Schulze, of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany have compiled the first comprehensive greenhouse gas balance of Europe. They made two independent estimates: one based on what the atmosphere sees and one based on what terrestrial ecosystems see.
The new bookkeeping effort confirmed the existence of a strong carbon sink of -305 Million tonnes of carbon per year in European forests and grasslands. A sink of this magnitude could offset 19% of the emission from fossil fuel burning. However, agricultural land and drained peat-land are emitting carbon dioxide, which cancels part of this sink. The resulting net carbon dioxide sink of the European continent is 274 Million tonnes of carbon per year - only 15% of the emissions from fossil fuel burning. But this balance is still incomplete, because all European ecosystems are managed and as a by-product of land management other powerful greenhouse gases are released - for example nitrous oxide from fertilizers applied to grassland and crops, and methane from ruminants and from peat-lands.

Fluctuations in yield were caused mainly by the variation in fruit number rather than fruit weight. "The number of harvested fruit and the yield of plants grown in summer and fall were significantly and positively correlated with solar radiation during the days before anthesis (the period during which a flower is fully open or in full bloom)", stated Higashide.
Although the fruit number and yield were also significantly correlated with air temperature before anthesis, the correlations were weaker than the correlations with solar radiation. There was no significant correlation between the air temperature in the periods encompassing 3 weeks before harvesting and the fruit number and yield. Therefore, fluctuations in fruit number and yield could be predicted by a model based on the solar radiation from 4 to 10 days before anthesis.
Higashide summarized the experiment's outcomes, noting that fluctuations in the weekly fruit number and yield for tomatoes grown in greenhouses during the summer and fall were strongly and significantly correlated with fluctuations in solar radiation during the periods encompassing 12 to 0 days before anthesis. "On the basis of fluctuations in solar radiation, fluctuations in fruit number and yield under these conditions could be predicted. Thus, solar radiation at the period before anthesis was one of the important factors in prediction of tomato yield under warm greenhouse conditions."

Listening in on the WEF
Henwood, Doug, The Nation
As January turned into February, the most important people in the world gathered themselves together in midtown Manhattan for the annual World Economic Forum. Normally held in Davos--the Swiss ski resort previously famous for being the site of Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain--the meeting was shifted to New York this year as an act of solidarity with a city wounded on September 11.
Healing, though, wasn't much in evidence. To protect the 3,000 delegates--businesspeople, academics, journalists and random celebrities--the area around the Waldorf-Astoria was sealed off with metal fences, dump trucks filled with sand and 4,000 members of the NYPD. Of course, the intention was to keep out the thousands of activists who'd come to protest them, not to mention terrorists who might dream of taking out a good chunk of the global elite in one deadly action.
Thankfully, no mad bombers showed up. And though the protesters were kept well away from what was dubbed the Walled-Off-Astoria, their influence was nonetheless clearly felt. One attendee, Bill Gates, the richest person on earth, actually welcomed them, saying: "It's a healthy thing there are demonstrators in the streets. We need a discussion about whether the rich world is giving back what it should in the developing world. I think there is a legitimate question whether we are."
That Gates said something like that--leaving aside for a moment just what it means--is one sign of how the political environment has changed over the past few years. Another is the evolution of the WEF itself. The forum was founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab, a Swiss professor of business, policy entrepreneur and social climber. At first it was a quiet and mostly European affair, with executives and a few intellectuals discussing the challenges of what was not yet called "globalization." But it grew over time, gaining visitors from North America and Asia, and by the 1990s had emerged as a de rigueur gathering of a global elite. In fact, it's been one of the ways by which that elite has constituted itself, learning to think, feel and act in common.
Corporate and financial bigwigs--who pay some $25,000 to come--dominate the guest list, but they also invite people who think for them, entertain them and publicize them, for whom the entrance fee is waived. Star academic economists were also on the list of invitees (bizarrely marked "confidential," so I had to swipe a copy), alongside some unexpected names: cultural theorist Homi Bhabha, columnist Arianna Huffington and model Naomi Campbell. And lots of religious figures, NGO officials and union leaders--who, to judge from their press conferences, didn't feel very well listened to. It seems not much communication goes on across the vocational lines; Berkeley economist Brad DeLong, a first-timer, theorized that "one reason that the princes of the corporate and political worlds are where they are is that they are very good at staying quiet when baited by intellectuals."
And DeLong was in the same room with them. Most journalists covering the event weren't so lucky. The WEF designated a handful of clubbable correspondents from places like the New York Times and CNBC as "participating press" and allowed them to mingle with the delegates at the Waldorf. But several hundred others, dubbed "the reporting press," were penned up in a couple of cramped "media centres" in a neighboring hotel. The terms are fascinating. Clearly the participating press participates in the inner workings of power and helps create its mystique. But the reporting press couldn't really report at all: We got to watch some of the sessions on closed-circuit TV (only the big, more formal ones--the intimate brainstorming sessions were strictly private), to read sanitized summaries distributed by the WEF staff and to view a few dignitaries at press conferences, which were generally too short to allow more than a few perfunctory questions.
Not only were we barred from newsworthy events--we weren't even told they were happening. …

The recent power outages have created enormous negative energy across mid-Michigan. The Lansing Board of Water & Light experienced the most severe natural disaster in its history and customers are understandably upset. Now, however, it is time to stop directing all of that anger at Peter Lark, the BWL General Manager. The storm caused serious issues for all sorts of operations, not just the BWL. Major national brand name companies failed to hit promised delivery times. This very newspaper seemed unable to deliver five blocks from their offices except electronically.
I write this as a friend and former colleague of Pete and will freely tell anyone that he is a person they would welcome as a friend and neighbor. His good deeds are many, though few of them have ever been made public. More than this, Pete has brought real leadership to the BWL.
It's time to move forward. Peter Lark is a rare talent, a decent guy, who remains the one best suited to lead this valuable community resource.

We've heard a lot about Drupal and WordPress in government, but not much about the open source platform Joomla. We asked Joomla External Communications Lead Sandra Ordonez to share how government is using it, its key features, how it compares to Drupal and WordPress and what governments are using it.
I was really happy to have Patrick Lajeunesse present about Agriculture Canada's experience using Drupal as a prototyping tool. As you can see from his presentation, with a small team of communications staff they were able to set up both a Drupal and WordPress prototype to explore their needed functionality. I wanted to focus a […]
I was really pleased to read the announcement that Lockheed Martin's social networking platform, EurekaStreams, was released as an open source project today. Lockheed is a very conservative company, and while they're happy to use open source internally and on projects for their customers, this is their first experiment with actually running a project themselves. I think it's a big deal, not just for Lockheed Martin, but for large corporations who are considering a more open, more innovative approach to software development. And yet, Dana Blankenhorn hates it:
The debate over whether open source software (OSS) is good for government is over. A close look will reveal the discussion has moved on to one of two things: 1) the necessary, but subsequent implementation questions to be sorted out – security, regulation, procurement, etc. or 2) organizational confusion about how to take the first step. In either case, the precedent of value has been established both within government and elsewhere to allow us to now move on to the natural next set of issues.
Version 2.0 of USAspending.gov launched this week and includes a cleaner, more elegant user interface and search filtering on all Federal government spending. The new site was developed in Drupal and is partially hosted on NASA's Nebula cloud service.
Drupal is an open source platform and content management system (CMS) for building dynamic web sites. Supported by a vibrant developer community, Drupal is establishing itself as a leader among social software solutions. Having already gained a small but significant share of the domestic and worldwide public sector CMS market, the solution appears on-track for continued growth. The expanding list of high-profile government organizations adopting the solution, along with its recent recognition by industry analyst Gartner as a visionary product in the marketplace, will only accelerate its growth.
Most western governments have in the last decade developed an accessibility strategy for their websites, often based on WCAG 1.0. At the end of 2008, the WC3 announced the final version of WCAG 2.0 and the public sector is now struggling to keep up. In Canada there was a recent announcement about a revised Common Look and Feel (CLF). In the USA the Section 508 is in its first of six revisions, part of which will be to adapt to the new approach to standards. I'm not sure that most citizens will notice the changes to government websites, however for both people with disabilities and the tax payers, it will be a very big deal.
Last month I wrote about how Drupal supports five of the most effective open government sites in Five Government Sites Using Drupal Effectively for Open Government Initiatives. This month, I discuss how Drupal is close to being the perfect Gov 2.0 solution for savvy agencies – and soon, perhaps, a default solution for open government web initiatives.
GSA announced it has officially opened up its URL shortener Go.USA.gov to anyone with a .mil, .gov, .fed.us or .si.edu email address. The site lets users create trustworthy short .gov URLs on Twitter and other online services with character restrictions and was developed by the team behind USA.gov along with members of the Drupal community.
By now, most people in the Gov 2.0 community have heard of Drupal, the popular open source social publishing system powering close to 500,000 websites ranging from big government to Britney Spears. Drupal has seen steady growth from its inception as a Belgian grad student's experiment in 2001 to one of the most heavily used open source content management systems in the world, downloaded by a quarter million people per month. A growing trend the Drupal community is following closely this year is government interest in the platform to further open government initiatives and broaden adoption across government.

KPMG's leadership blogs brings you insight, opinion and debate from our senior partners and industry experts.
KPMG's Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) team brings you regular insights, updates and opinions on all matters concerning SAO Regulations.
Hosted by Julie Hughff, Partner, Tax Management Consulting, and Peter Honeywell, Head of Tax Governance for National Markets, we will be considering issues arising from implementing the legislation as well as providing suggestions on implementing SAO principles within a wider tax risk management framework.
Last week the Government published a consultation document entitled 'Improving Large Business Tax Compliance' available here. This follows the release of the TNS BMRB Final Report: 'Exploring Large Business Tax Strategy Behaviour' available here.
This consultation was announced as part of the Summer Budget and follows on from the "Exploring Large Business Tax Strategy Behaviour" report, also released last week by HMRC, which considered the approaches adopted by large businesses to tax in general and the role of tax strategies.
The consultation proposes a package of measures intended to improve large business tax compliance, comprising:
You may have already received a letter or email from your CRM (which we understand is being sent to all companies that are dealt with by HMRC's Large Business Directorate) outlining this. Such emails include a sentence which says:- "These new measures do not represent a fundamental shift for HMRC, but rather a strengthening of our existing strategy. They are specifically designed to discourage large businesses from pursuing aggressive tax planning arrangements, and to provide additional sanctions against the small minority of large businesses that persist in unacceptable behaviours." The proposed requirements present a number of challenges, not least to those UK companies with overseas parents who will be required to publish their tax strategy, but from an SAO perspective, there is a specific statement to the effect that the two regimes are separate, presumably because a decision to adopt a particular tax strategy has little bearing upon the robustness of the underlying tax accounting arrangements. However, the consultation proposes that the SAO turnover and balance sheet thresholds should be used in identifying companies that will be party to the additional requirements, and that 'sanctions could be modelled along the lines of the current HMRC SAO regime'. It is not clear at this stage whether it is intended that these sanctions could include personal liabilities arising from any failures to comply but the proposed requirement that a named individual should have responsibility for owning and signing off the strategy suggests that this may well be the case. It would appear, therefore, that the new requirements are intended to operate in parallel to the SAO regime, both being part of the organisation's overall tax governance framework which is the responsibility of the Board. However, there are clearly areas of overlap, for example the inclusion of 'risk management' among the areas that might be included when articulating the tax strategy (para 2.28), and it is therefore essential that businesses are able to articulate a coherent tax risk and governance framework which satisfies all relevant requirements. KPMG will be submitting representations as part of this consultation process and we would therefore be very interested in hearing your views.
After a period of relatively limited activity, HM Revenue & Customs is in the process of carrying out Know Your Customer (KYC) meetings with larger employers, many of which will be in the Senior Accounting Officer regime. KYC meetings are an exercise designed to enable HMRC to find out more about the employment tax processes and controls within organisations, together with the employee reward strategies, and continues the risk based approach adopted under the SAO regime. The introduction of these meetings follows HMRC's agenda to employing several individuals who have previously worked in industry or an accounting practice, in order to "up skill" their compliance officers.
Although on the surface these meetings are designed to enable HMRC to gain further information on their 'customers', we know from our clients' experiences that there is a strong focus on the processes and controls in place, in terms of employment tax compliance. The approach and depth into which the meetings have gone has varied from one client to another, however, we are noticing that for those within the SAO regime, HMRC is asking questions around the validity of SAO processes and the level of internal checks to evidence these.
This again highlights the need for organisations to be able to articulate the governance and control framework within which tax is managed, particularly in areas such as employment taxes, which often involve the interaction of different parts of the business. In view of the prevalence of KYC meetings, it is therefore recommended that reviews are carried out on any areas of uncertainty.
The Diverted Profits Tax came into effect from 1 April 2015 and the application of the legislation in practice is a developing area. We have received a number of questions from clients as to whether DPT is included within the Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) regime.
The SAO regime requires certain companies to have appropriate tax accounting arrangements to enable specific taxes to be calculated accurately in all material respects. The taxes included within the regime are listed in statute and include "corporation tax including any amount assessable or chargeable as if it were corporation tax", plus a list of other taxes.
DPT is not specifically on the list and the Finance Act does not amend the list to include it.
This means the SAO regime could only apply if DPT were assessable or chargeable as if it were corporation tax, which it isn't. The legislation which charges DPT makes no reference to DPT being assessable or chargeable as if it were corporation tax.
Therefore, DPT does not fall within the SAO regime as currently written, meaning that SAO penalties should not be chargeable on DPT failures. That said, from a broader tax risk perspective, companies which could be within the charge to DPT clearly need to ensure they have appropriate arrangements in place to: (i) gather the data needed to decide whether they have any DPT obligations; and (ii) comply with the notification (and any other) time limits if appropriate.

Well, you have my vote for sure, I'm eager to see what you can do in Sins. Love live the Remnant!
From the makers of Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War, Ascendancy is a Star Wars mod set after the Battle of Endor in the Star Wars Galaxy. Fight for galactic ascendancy as multiple factions from this period in Star Wars history.
Well, you have my vote for sure, I'm eager to see what you can do in Sins. Love live the Remnant!
Voted for both of your works
I voted
You have my vote
Voted <3 Cant wait for some type of release even tho its probably very far off. ... but still... <3 keep up the good work.
Voted for this absolutely fantastic mod for MOTY 2012 :D
I love this :)
You've got my vote :)
Got my vote but I would love to see some of the Republic in ur mods
The Republic (assuming you're referring to the Clone Wars era faction) makes absolutely no sense in the time period covered in this mod. We have zero intention of including it.
What about an old weapons cache i don't mean bring in the faction I mean add in some of their ships
2012's been a good year for the Thrawn's Revenge Dev Team. It saw the release of two Imperial Civil War versions; 1.3 in January and 2.0 in August. It also saw the beginning of our second project, Star Wars: Ascendancy for SoaSE: Rebellion.
We're back to that time of year when we ask you to show your support for the mods by voting for them in the 2012 Mod Database Mod of the Year Awards. We've been fortunate enough to make the top 100 with Imperial Civil War in both 2010 and 2011, and this year we hope we can keep up that trend, and maybe even get Ascendancy in there as well.
Do your civic duty and vote!
You can vote for as many mods as you want in the first phase, so just go to the pages linked above, and click on the large button that says "Vote for This Mod."

One problem for me is that even though their web site is in English, the staff working there could not speak English which made things hard. I realised after, it doesn't actually say that they can..... Also I was having a shower and the water just stopped working mid way. Not just the Hot!! The kitchen was good but there seemed to be a lot of expired food hanging around......It also seems that the hostel was low cost housing for locals which made the vibe a little weird.

This hostel is a shambles. We arrived at the location as described and no one was present to receive us (despite being 24 hour reception!). We tried to call and the provided number was disconnected. We waited a few hours, having e-mailed and checked online. Finally we saw on wikipedia that the hostel had previously closed down. We were not informed of this by the hostel or hostelworld, and had to make other arrangements. Several days later we receive an non-apologetic e-mail. Disgraceful.

I had already been there in MArch. This time i had instead to go to another accomodation so my feed back is for the new accomodation (even if can be also intended for Chillax). I booked as usual on line getting confirmation etc. but when i was there nobody was in the hostel because it was under reparation. I had the phone of one of the staff and my trouble was immediately resolved with a new accomodation in another hostel near the Arbat street. In an hour i reached the other hostel

Hair loss in Dogs and Cats
Hair loss is one of the most common problems that bring dogs and cats and ferrets to my animal hospital. There are an enormous number of reasons for hair loss; but I am going to go over a few of the more common ones
When a pet with this problem enters my office, I make a few simple observations and ask a few simple questions. Is this a young or an old pet? What breed is it? How long has the problem been present and has it occurred before. If so, how was it diagnosed and treated the last time? Is it a single patch or on various areas? Is it on the body itself or on the face or limbs? Is the hair missing or broken or chewed off short? Is the area itchy to the pet? Is the hairless area raw and inflamed? Is it dry and crusty? Are the areas a particular shape? What other pets do the owners have? What do they feed this pet? What changes have occurred in this pet's recent past? Are the owners themselves itching? Do the webs of the pet's feet itch? Does it scoot? Are fleas or flea dirt present? What is the pet bathed in? Is this an emotional or nervous pet? What medications worked or did not work if the condition was treated in the past? What follows are some common causes of hair loss, presented in order of frequency that I see them in Florida.
1) Flea-associated dermatitis hair loss
This is a common problem in all the Southern States. Even a single flea can cause this problem and the flea or its waste can be very tough to find. This is particularly true in dark haired pets. One give-away is the distribution of the problem. For reasons unknown to me, fleas prefer the area just anterior to the base of the tail. A brittle, broken hair coat in this area with a characteristic musty (seborrheic) odor and or the presence of pepper-like granules that stain a wet paper towel are sure signs of flea involvement. In other cases, the bite of a single flea will set off itching of the entire body – but particularly the webs between the toes. Eventually, bacteria and yeast become involved. The best treatment is to apply a topical flea-control medicine such as Advantage or Frontline.
2) Canine and Feline Atopy
This is an allergic itching and subsequent loss of hair. In allergic people, the respiratory system is often involved. In dogs and cats however, it is the skin that is most involved. Unfortunately, antihistamines that are so effective in people are much less effective in our pets. There is no cure for pets that are allergic to things they breathe. If you move, they soon become allergic to material in their new environment. This is a genetic disease and it occurs in lines of dogs and cats. The animals are generally a year or so old when it is first noticed. Eventually, bacteria and yeast become involved. Treatment will make the problem more bearable to the pet. They can include antihistamines, soothing topical shampoos used weekly or biweekly, soothing anti-inflammatory topical ointments, bathing agents that keep bacteria and yeast in check, tranquilizers that lessen itching and when all else fails, judicious use of cortisone-like products. Some owners even resort to mechanical collars that prevent chewing but I do not
3) Pyotraumatic Dermatitis (Hot Spots)
This is a problem in, long-coated thick-haired breeds of dogs with rich oily coats. Usually they are 2 years old or older Often, these are northern dogs, which have recently moved to Southern States. Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Spitz, Samoyed, Chows, Akitas, and Pyrenees are some breeds that come to mind as over represented among dogs with this problem. It is a rarer problem in cats and when it does occur in cats, it is often subsequent to stress. Intense itching occurs in one or two isolated area of the trunk of the body. The area becomes inflamed, raw and wet with serum within a matter of hours. Some theorize an insect bite initiates the problem. If the dog is muzzled or restrained during this period, the problem passes in 24-72 hours. If not, when the area is painful enough, the pet ceases to bite at the area. It may reoccur every 4-8 months or never again. It is treated with a topical astringent/cortisone agent and often with an injection of anti-inflammatory drug as well. Antibiotics are generally not required.
4) Demodectic and Sarcoptic Mange
The first form, Demodectic mange, is generally a disease of young dogs. A parasite, which lives in hair and oil glands of the skin of all dogs, begins to multiply out of control. This is a genetic disease. It runs in certain lines of dogs and is more common in certain breeds of dogs (see article on mange). It causes no itching but the involved areas are subject to secondary bacterial infection. It is treated with Mitaban (amitraz) dips or with ivermectin. Ivermectin is dangerous to use in cats. Small lesions may disappear without treatment. Sarcoptic mange is due to a transmissible parasite that burrows through the layers of the skin causing intense itching. It passes from pet to pet through contact. It will attack humans as well. It is easily cured with ivermectin given orally or by injection.
5) Ringworm
Ringworm is a fungus – not a worm. It is transmitted by contact or through some object – such as grooming clippers and combs. It is not itchy. It is often circular or oval in shape. The hair in the area is broken off – due to the fungus weakening the hair shafts. It is often located on a limb, ear or the face. It often glows in the dark under an ultraviolet light source (Woods lamp). It may spontaneously disappear (especially in cats) yet the animal remains a carrier of the fungus. It is treated with fluconozole, itraconazole, griziofulvin and topical iodine preparations.
6) Nervous or Stress/Boredom Induced dermatitis
This is quite common in the terrier breeds. It is more common in dogs than cats and more common when both of a couple works and the pet is left alone. It also occurs due to persistent licking of an area in older, obese or lame pets. Dogs are usually adults but can be any adult age at onset. It is hard to cure. Some treatments include topical bitters mists, relieving boredom, anti obsessive/compulsive behavior drugs such as chlomipramine, and taping isolated areas with a protective covering.
7) Food Allergies hair loss
Pets with this problem itch all over, all the time. Pets that are allergic to food or treat ingredients have cells in their skin that release histamine when the pet ingests certain proteins. All the preceding problems should be ruled out first. Then the pet should be placed on a 60 – 90 day trial diet restricted to a prescription brand in which the protein molecules have been made smaller (less than 10,000 Daltons). These smaller proteins are not recognized as "foreign" by the pet's immune system. Lamb, and exotic ingredient diets are only helpful for a while. Then the pet becomes allergic to them as well.
8) Seasonal Hair Loss In Ferrets:
It is common for ferrets to "blow" their coats. Ferret hair grows in cycles and it may be quite some time before hair begins to renew. Once you have had a veterinarian check the pet to be sure it does not have adrenal gland disease or estrogen-induced alopecia you only have to wait a month or so for the hair to regrow.
9) Adrenal Gland Disease In Ferrets
The first sign of adrenal gland disease in ferrets iis loss of hair on the tip of the tail. This progresses until the entire hair coat of the ferret is thin. The pet's skin also becomes thin when this disease is present. Please read my article on adrenal gland disease in ferrets for a detailed description of this condition.
10) Estrogen-induce Alopecia Of Ferrets
Before ferrets were commonly sold neutered and spayed, I saw many cases of hair loss due to prolonged heat cycles. Female ferrets must either be spayed or bred before they reach eight months of age or they will become "locked" in estrus or heat. Ferrets are induced ovulators which means they do not pass through a heat cycle until copulation induces ovulation. They will stay locked in their heat cycle until they are bred. As estrogen levels rise in these ferrets, hair ceases to grow, the ferrets vagina and labia become swollen and turgid and red blood cells cease to be produced. It is very hard to save ferrets when this condition is present. Sometimes an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone will end the heat cycle. At other times I spay these animals despite their poor health and anemia in an attempt to save them. The use of ferret blood transfusions or synthetic blood (Hemasol DA20) can give them the extra time they need to recover. I have not attempted to use the newer blood substitutes that are now on the market

Sinkhole causes detour on Highway 126 in Fillmore; no reopening in sight
A portion of Highway 126 in Fillmore was expected to be closed until early Friday afternoon due to a sinkhole, authorities said.
The sinkhole was reported Thursday and eastbound traffic was diverted at A Street. The sinkhole was east of A Street near Central Avenue.
The closure caused a significant traffic backup on the eastbound side of the highway heading into the city, Fillmore Fire Chief Rigo Landeros said. He advised motorists to avoid the area if possible.
The hole was only a pothole a few days ago. It has grown to about 3 feet in diameter but is wider underground, officials said.
Caltrans was working on closing the hole and put up detour signs in the area, said Ventura County sheriff's Capt. Rob Davidson.
Authorities said it would easily be closed at least until noon Friday if not later.

Despite her somewhat prissy, puritanical air, Priscilla has managed to stay in the Top 500 every year since records have been kept—it reached as high as Number 127 in 1940—appreciated for its delicacy and solid history.
A New Testament name, it was Priscilla with whom the apostle Paul stayed while spreading the gospel in Corinth. It was common in the ancient Roman world and later was a favorite of the seventeenth century Puritans, including Priscilla Mullins (Alden), remembered for her co-starring role in Longfellow's poem The Courtship of Miles Standish. There was also a sympathetic Priscilla in Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance.
The most conspicuous contemporary bearer of the name is Priscilla Presley, and it's what J. R. R. Tolkien named his only daughter.
If you find the nickname Prissy too prissy, you could use the British-inflected Cilla.

- Good Girls
- Old Lady Names
- Girl Names ALWAYS in the Top 1000

Old Fishing Hole totem pole, "Cedar and Salmon"5.7 acres24945 Frager Road, south of W. Meeker Street
The Old Fishing Hole is a haven for young (under age 14) anglers. It is listed in the Washington State Department of Game's Juvenile Fishing Guide. Amenities include parking, public art, picnic areas, trails and benches, open grass area, and a seasonal portable restroom. Adults can bait the hook and even cast the line, but then they must hand the pole over to the child to land The Big One.

i can't seem to get my tHc dash to uopen anything form the g drive...
i just got a new 250 gig drive installed, and i wanted to set my xbox up in a way that i could put all of my games and apps on the f drive and all of my emulators and media on the g drive.
i made directorys for games and apps on the f drive and i was very happy to find that they were recognised by the tHc dash and put into the launch menu
however, whenever i make an appropriate folder on the G drive (weather it be for apps, emus, games, etc...) it will freeze when i try to get to the submenu. After putting an xbe into G:/emus/, and selecting "emulators" from the dash menu, it will start the animation where that menu moves into view and rotates downward to reveil the menu selection, but it will freeze half way and all i can do is press b to go back to the main selection.
has anyone else had any luck with the thc dash and a g: drive?

It will be fix on the final release... They found the bug that cause this... I believe it was a single erroneus letter...
Posted 06 February 2004 - 09:53 PM
i have found it aswell after digging through the source code...
here's the solution for those that are interested.
in the function ReadValues() a list of subdirectorys is made of the a desired folder (like apps, emu, games, etc...) for use in a launch menu.
here is a snippit of code used to search the f drive

in the function ReadValues() a list of subdirectorys is made of the a desired folder (like apps, emu, games, etc...) for use in a launch menu.
here is a snippit of code used to search the f drive
| var f = new Folder;
f.path = "N:\\" + fD;
var fL = f.subFolders.length();
var fS = new Array(fL);
if(fL > 0)
for(var fLo = 0; fLo < fL; fLo = fLo + 1)
fS[fLo] = f.subFolders[fLo].name;
and here's the code for searching the g drive
var g = new Folder;
g.path = "O:\\" + fD;
var gL = g.subFolders.length();
var gS = new Array(gL);
if(gL > 0)
for(var gLo = 0; gLo < gL; gLo = gLo + 1)
fS[gLo] = g.subFolders[gLo].name;
i knew this error was happening for me only when i had a subdirectory within one of the searched folders on my g drive, so i knew the problem happened somewhere inside the if(gL > 0) statement.
then i saw it... the subdirectorys names were being stored to fS[gLo] instead of gS[gLo] which i wouldn't have cought if the array fS had more entrys than gS did. It would've simply overwritten the directorys from the f drive >.<
anyway, i changed the fS[gLo] to a gS[gLo] and it works fine now

Hey what file is that error in?? I have a problem in my dash too, when I go into the games menu I only get my games in G. But I do get a bunch of blank spaces that don't say anything at all but when I scroll down the games in G appear. Its like it knows the games are there but it can't find the names or something.
Posted 13 February 2004 - 11:06 PM
Open up default.xip with winxip, then once you open it, extract default.xap and open it up in wordpad, then scroll down and look for the error and change that f to a g.
Posted 14 March 2004 - 06:03 PM
Worked great for me! Hopefully these bugs will be fixed in the final releases of tHC so we won't have to code and resign for everything!
This dash rocks!

A nice change from the candied/sugared sweet potatoe recipes. I would like to try and make this ahead of time - have ready in a casserole and then heat - hope it will be just as good.flag if inappropriate
My wife just cooked this & it is really tasty and filling. She did not use as much oil as in the recipe & this made it slightly drier and suited our taste. Yum Yum.flag if inappropriate
I don't like sweet potato or parmesan cheese and there were great. Everyone who ate them remarked how nice it was to eat sweet potato in a different way. Would be a great change from the standard brown sugar and marshmallow glop most of us think when we envision sweet potato. Took a little longer to cook than indicated but not a big dealflag if inappropriate
