He's doing a nice job so far of carving out a place all for himself.From his early excitement in the wake of his trade to the Senators to his willingness to fly into town early for promotional interviews, he's proving to be exactly the sort of guy who can help shape a new identity for the team.Well, as soon as he shapes an identity for himself, anyway.This week, Ryan decided to poke a little fun at his relative anonymity in Canada's capital by conducting man-on-the street interviews. The topic: what do Sens fans think of Bobby Ryan? The bit produces completely expected results. They may love their hockey in Ottawa, but as far as "the American kid" goes . . . well, watch the video and see for yourself how it all plays out. Promoted Stories Comments

Once in a lifetime: Hanukkah and Thanksgiving together for the first time
Hanalie Treiber's traditional Thanksgiving dinner will need a makeover this year. Instead of basting in its own juices, she's considering marinating the bird in Manischewitz kosher wine.
In place of the standard mashed potatoes and gravy, there'll be latkes (potato pancakes) and apple-cranberry sauce. Her table centerpiece will be a "menurkey."
"We're going to make a menorah that looks like a turkey," explained Treiber, a member of the Jewish Congregation of Marco Island.
It's time to celebrate. After all, it's not every year a new holiday is born. In fact, "Thanksgivukkah" will come only once in a lifetime. The concurrence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah has never happened since Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday in 1863. Experts say it won't happen again for another 78,000 years.
"They're both about religious freedom," said Rabbi Mendy Greenberg of the Chabad Jewish Center of Bonita Springs, Estero and Florida Gulf Coast University. "Thanksgiving is about religious freedom in the United States, and Hanukkah is freedom from the Greek oppression. They both represent the same idea."
Greenberg said he is glad the two holidays coincide this year because it gives Jews an opportunity to share the message of Hanukkah without it being overshadowed by the commercialization of Christmas.
"People are really talking about it," he said. "It gives more attention to what the holiday represents. It reminds us how everything comes from God."
Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights and is observed for eight days to commemorate the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Maccabean Revolt in the second century B.C. The Jewish army, known as the Maccabees, needed to light the menorah with pure olive oil, but they only had enough for one night.
The miracle of Hanukkah was that the oil lasted for eight days, just enough time to procure more oil, explained Rabbi Amos Chorny of Beth Tikvah of Naples.
The date for Hanukkah varies each year because it follows the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar calendar. It's 11 days short of the Gregorian calendar based on the cycles of the sun. This year is a leap year for the Hebrew calendar, but the leap doesn't happen until spring, thus moving Hanukkah ahead by about 22 days, Chorny explained.
Although he doesn't care for the "Thanksgivukkah" moniker, he says his congregants are having fun with the Thanksgiving Day menu.
"I've heard people say they're going to combine the two and make sweet potato latkes," Chorny mused.
Online retailers are selling Thanksgivukkah cards, apparel and decorations. There are Thanksgivukkah songs and plenty of crossover recipes like green bean casserole with schmaltz (chicken fat) and gribenes (fried chicken skin), and jelly doughnuts filled with cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie filling.
The combined holiday doesn't affect Jews anywhere else in the world because Thanksgiving is a uniquely American celebration.
"Families celebrate both holidays primarily in their homes," Chorny said. "There is absolutely no reason to change anything, just add to it."
Beth Tikvah will have its communal menorah lighting on the last day of Hanukkah, Dec. 4. Chabad is hosting its 10th annual public Chanukah celebration at Coconut Point Mall the first day of the Festival of Light, which is the day before Thanksgiving. So for many Southwest Floridians, next week might bring a public menorah lighting on Wednesday, turkey and latkes at home on Thursday, then back to the mall for all the hoopla of Black Friday shopping.
"It's a very fun time," Greenberg said of the Chanukah celebration at the mall.
He's expecting a crowd of between 300 and 500 people for the 5:30 p.m. event, featuring a giant menorah lighting, traditional Israeli foods, live music, crafts and a Chanukah puppet show.
Making the message of Hanukkah public is important to Jews, he said. In addition to the Coconut Point event, Chabad will have its first public menorah on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University, along with a menorah at U.S. 41 and Old U.S. 41 in Bonita.
"The idea of Hanukkah has always been publicity of the miracle," Greenberg explained. "When a miracle happens, it's not something we should keep to ourselves. It shows how miracles could happen to anyone. We have God-given potential and all we need to do is ignite that light."
Alison Calder of Estero will be celebrating the combined holiday with family. She said she likes having Hanukkah at Thanksgiving rather than lumped in with Christmas. She will get to see her nieces and nephews open their Hanukkah gifts, and her own two boys won't be inundated with new toys all at once, since her husband is Christian and his family celebrates Christmas.
Treiber is planning a Thanksgiving feast for 22 at her Marco Island home, and not everyone will be Jewish. She said she's looking forward to lighting the candles and wishing everyone happiness, luck, good fortune and health.
"It just seems to coincide with Thanksgiving, which I think is good," she said. "It's not going to happen again for 70,000 years."
What: 10th Annual Chanukah at the Mall
When: Wed., Nov. 27 at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Coconut Point Mall, Estero -- in front of the theater
Activities: South Lee County's largest menorah, Kosher deli and Israeli food, live music, puppet show and greetings from local dignitaries.

The Experiences of Remote and Rural Aboriginal Health Workers and Registered Nurses Who Undertook a Postgraduate Diabetes Course to Improve the Health of Indigenous Australians
King, Meri, King, Lindy, Willis, Eileen, Munt, Rebecca, Semmens, Frith, Contemporary Nurse : a Journal for the Australian Nursing Profession
This paper reports on an evaluation of an educational initiative that seeks to improve the diabetes health outcomes of a vulnerable group, Indigenous Australians residing in remote and rural New South Wales. In this context seven Aboriginal Health Workers (AHWs) and ten registered nurses (RNs) undertook an accredited Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) course. The aims of this study were to identify the beliefs, attitudes and experiences of this group concerning specialist diabetes training, strategies already used by managers and those that could be used to help consolidate the diabetes expertise of AHWs and RNs. The findings indicate specialist diabetes training and constructive support is required if AHWs and RNs are to develop from a novice to an expert. We concluded that the ADEA diabetes course is highly relevant to the needs of Indigenous Australians and that constructive support from managers and the university is most important in the development of diabetes expertise.
KEYWORDS: Indigenous Australians; type 2 diabetes mellitus; diabetes education for Aboriginal Health Workers; perceptions of specialist diabetes courses
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant health problem for Indigenous Australians. Not only does this condition emerge at an earlier age of onset (O'Dea, Rowley, & Brown, 2007), the prevalence is three to four times higher than in the non-Indigenous population (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare [AIHW], 2011; McDermott, Li, & Campbell, 2010). T2DM is also a major cause of morbidity and mortality and Indigenous Australians with this condition are hospitalised 12 times more frequently and die 17-19 years earlier than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Furthermore, Indigenous Australians experience the worst diabetes health status in Australia and globally have the fourth highest prevalence of T2DM in the world (AIHW, 2011; Thomson, Burns, Hardy, Krom, & Stumpers, 2007). Innovative strategies are required by health professionals to improve this situation for such vulnerable populations especially in rural and remote Australia.
In 1998 Flinders University opened their accredited Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) course to Aboriginal Health Workers (AHWs). This was the first time in Australia that AHWs were admitted to a nationally accredited diabetes course developed primarily for registered nurses (RNs) and allied health professionals. The outcomes from this initiative have been investigated in South Australia previously (King, 2006; King, Munt, & Eastwood, 2007).
The decision to accept AHWs entry into the course was seen to be important for several reasons. Graduates from accredited ADEA courses were equipped with the contemporary knowledge and skills to care for people with diabetes (Australian Diabetes Educators Association [ADEA], 2007a, 2007b). It was hoped that this initiative would enable AHWs to expand their roles as diabetes educators and help improve the diabetes status of Indigenous Australians. It was also anticipated that exposing non-Indigenous health professionals to the cultural needs of Indigenous Australians with diabetes and then working together, specialist diabetes AHWs and RNs would have the potential to improve diabetes outcomes for Indigenous people through best practice (Abbott, Gordon, & Davison, 2007; Sequist et al., 2010).
Previous literature had indicated that formal education alone, such as undertaking an ADEA course, was of limited value to quality care without constructive active support from management. In fact, the greater the support provided, the greater the motivation of the health professional to provide quality care to the people with the condition. Support can be seen by the formal acknowledgement of the particular role, the opportunity of the health professional to use their expertise in the clinical setting, access to people with the condition, access to an expert diabetes practitioner with whom the novice might discuss complex client problems with and the opportunity to develop from a novice practitioner to an expert practitioner (Anderson & Clement, 1987; Benner, Tanner, & Chesla, 1996; Cartwright, 1980; Henderson, 2010; Henderson, Briggs, Schoonbeek, & Paterson, 2011; Sequist et al. …

4 Him
Living Water, Bread Of Life
Like a deer that had been panting for the water
I was thirsting for so long
I was so dry
So I set out on my journey
Not sure just what I'd find
But I found an everlasting river of life
Ooh, it's just life fallin' rain
I will never thirst again
Living water, bread of life
Come and quench this thirst within me
Fill this hunger deep inside
For so long I have been empty
Nothing else will satisfy
You alone are what I need Lord
Living water, bread of life
I had searched this whole world over for the answer
Wanting just to fill this void inside
All the things that were material
They could not satisfy
For my hungering was for the bread of life
Ooh, it came like manna from above
I can never get enough

2007 Mazda CX-7 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 23 reviews
You've got to like the fact that modern automakers are thinking outside the box, or at least thinking outside the standard automotive design parameters. Case in point: the Mazda CX-7, a curved, muscular SUV that has an admittedly retro look to it, yet still manages to appear completely contemporary. In fact, there's quite a bit of sports car DNA in this crossover SUV, which is not surprising, since design features for the CX-7 were borrowed from both the Mazda Miata and the RX-8 sports car.
The sports-car-in-an-SUV-skin theme continues to the engine of the CX-7. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces a performance-car-like 244 horsepower. A six-speed Sport automatic transmission is standard. Other performance features include independant MacPherson strut suspension, anti-lock brakes, and optional all-wheel drive.
The interior is sporty as well. The three-spoke steering wheel has a sports-car feel, as does the red/blue instrument panel. And while style counts for a lot in the CX-7, it does not sacrifice functionality. A storage space in the center console between the front bucket seats is deep enough to hold a laptop computer, while backseats are roomy and comfortable.
A premium Bose Audio sound system and navigation system are also part of the package. As far as safety is concerned, the CX-7 received a five-star rating in front and side impact crash tests.
Drivers had a lot of positive things to say about the CX-7, but the comment that seems to sum it up best if "value." Overall, the crossover vehicle received a lot of praise from drivers, who liked its power and performance, styling, and interior appointments. On the down side, drivers noted that the ride can be a bit rough, and that fuel can be expensive, since the CX-7 required premium-grade gas.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Students at Georgia Perimeter College will be guaranteed transfer to Gwinnett's fledgling university, according to an agreement announced Monday.The deal could allow students to begin college at the inexpensive two-year school and bolster the admissions at Georgia Gwinnett College, the Lawrenceville campus that once served as classrooms for GPC. "Georgia Gwinnett College is delighted to partner with GPC as we serve Gwinnett County and the northeast Atlanta metropolitan region by offering targeted baccalaureate degrees," said Georgia Gwinnett's President Daniel Kaufman. "With this agreement, we look forward to serving even more students in this growing and diverse region." Perimeter graduates have been a part of the student body at the new four-year college, since it opened to rising juniors in 2006. About 30 percent of the transfer students who joined Georgia Gwinnett this semester were from Georgia Perimeter, said Demetrios Lambros, assistant director of public affairs. Officials hope students will continue to follow that path. "It's a win-win situation for both colleges and students," said Georgia Perimeter President Anthony Tricoli. "We get to send our graduates to a fine institution that is close to home, and Georgia Gwinnett gets students who have been taught by award-winning faculty in small classes and are equipped for success as they continue their education." Georgia Perimeter has transfer admission guarantee agreements with 20 other colleges across the state, including the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech and Georgia State University. The requirements for each institution differ, guaranteeing general admission but not necessarily admission to a specific major. The Georgia Gwinnett transfer requirements include graduation from GPC with an associate degree, at least a 2.0 grade point-average and at least 60 transferable credits, the last 30 of which must be earned at GPC. "In this economy, many Georgians may be unable to attend a four-year institution, and consequently will lack the education and skills needed to survive in these times," Tricoli said. "As educators and leaders, we have to come up with new solutions such as TAGs, which allow for a seamless and streamlined transfer. Students can complete their education in a timely manner and save money by taking all their core courses at GPC." Officials expect to have 3,000 students enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett next August, with the student population growing to 8,000 in 2010, Lambros said.

Glamour and Grit - Sept. 3, 2012
Volunteers needed
In partnership with Volunteer St. Lucie and other community organizations, St. Lucie County's Housing & Community Services Department is looking for volunteers who are willing to help in times of disaster.

In the aftermath of a hurricane or tropical storm, volunteers are always needed to help residents recover. If you are interested in helping during times of disaster, please register at www.volunteerstlucie.org. Remember, this hurricane season is still expected to be active.
Save the Chimps
In recognition of the 10-year anniversary of the rescue of 266 former Coulston chimpanzees, Save the Chimps will host its 2nd Annual Member Day on Sept. 15. The first Member Day event, held this past January, reached capacity with 250 visitors who eagerly toured the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary.
The sanctuary is typically closed to the public so the chimpanzees can enjoy their lives in a peaceful environment. Member Day is the only opportunity for people to tour the 150-acre sanctuary. Save the Chimps will be open to all current 2012 members or who become members at the $50 Enthusiast level. Guided walking tours of the sanctuary grounds are from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., but reservations are required. The walking tour covers 1.25-miles of the sanctuary in Fort Pierce. To learn more and to become a member, call (772) 429-2225.
Birdies for Bracelets
The newly refurbished greens at Meadowood Golf & Tennis Club in Fort Pierce hold great promise for the Pilot Club of Fort Pierce charity golf event on Sept. 15. The annual "Birdies for Bracelets" Tournament features a putting contest, games at par 3 holes and raffle prizes, which include golf weekends and theatre tickets. A scratch off ticket game is a new addition to this always fun event. Proceeds from "Birdies for Bracelets" go to fund the purchase of electronic ID bracelets and supplies as part of the Pilot Club's commitment to the St. Lucie County ID Locator Program. The program is a joint venture between the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, Alzheimer's' Community Care and the Pilot Club of Fort Pierce as a safety net for at-risk individuals with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Make your plans now to play in this fun-filled and purposeful event. Registration is $100 per golfer or $475 per foursome. Call Jan Smith at (772) 971-8470 or Tena Sigmon at (772) 828-1716.

The drive encourages St. Lucie County young people to collect school supplies and drop them off at their nearest Staples store starting through Sept. 15. School supplies collected will benefit youth at the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County to equip them with tools they need to achieve academic success in time for the new school.
The local Staples stores for school supply drop off are located at: Sabal Palm Plaza, 2609 S. Federal Hwy., Fort Pierce, 10139 S. US Hwy. 1, Port St. Lucie, and 1729 N.W. St. Lucie West Blvd., Port St. Lucie.

Basic Direct Draw Question - What Function to call for painting
This is probably too basic but I am confused about it. If using direct draw, each drawing element may be defined something like this
gui = new Container() {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(new Color(255, 10, 10));
g.fillRect(20, 20, getWidth() - 40, getHeight() - 40);
g.setColor(new Color(245, 245, 245));
int message_width = g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(message);
g.drawString(message, (getWidth() - message_width) / 2, 500);
If this component is to be redrawn, should this paint() function be called? I know repaint() has lot of side effects like redrawing background. I would appreciate clarification.
Jay thanks. My question was more to whether another part of the application should call paint() directly or should call update() or repaint(). Here's what I have figured out so far
- Before calling paint, one needs to know if the component is actually visible. The getGraphics() does return null if not. If the components are not actually added to containers, then this check would need to be implemented.
- Overriding update() method to simply call paint() and then calling repaint() from other parts of the application does fix the background clearing but not independent thread problem. In cases where the painting is acceptable from another thread, this is OK method.
Message was edited by: vinaykagarwal
That helped - thank you!
Components have to be added to HScene (directly or indirectly) AND it has to be visible
to get a valid Graphics Object.
With Direct Draw, you acquire the Graphics object yourself:
Graphics g = gui.getGraphics();
Unlike Repaint Draw, Direct Draw gives you more control over when the screen is refreshed. Better for games, animation, etc. Your method would be rewritten to something like this:
public void paint()
Graphics g = gui.getGraphics();
g.setColor(new Color(255, 10, 10));
g.fillRect(20, 20, getWidth() - 40, getHeight() - 40);
g.setColor(new Color(245, 245, 245));
int message_width = g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(message);
g.drawString(message, (getWidth() - message_width) / 2, 500);
...and you call paint() any time you want to update your textfield. (Although you may want to consider another method name that doesn't confuse the 2 drawing models... something like 'doScreenDraw' or 'renderToScreen' - just a suggestion.)
This is obvisously a very basic example. You'll ultimately want to implement double buffering and possibly constraining your redraws to the area of the screen that requires updating as your projects get more complex. But hopefully this gets you started.
- Jay
I'm trying to optimize my App by using Direct Draw but I can't aquire the base Graphics Object.
I'm creating a HScene and add a HContainer to it.
Usually I used the paint Method and the Graphics Object I got there for drawing.
Now I tried HContainer.getGraphics to create my own draw Methods...
Unfortunately I always get a java.awt.NullGraphics Object which I can't use...
HScene.getGraphics returns the same.
How to I aquire my "Base Graphics Object" that is connected to the Screen without using the paint method...
Thanks a lot!
You get null graphics object from getGraphics() call when the component is not connected to HScene (directly or indirectly). Make sure your component is added to the HScene object.

Bourbon Out of Bounds
The misbelief is understandable: Kentucky may be Bourbon's spiritual home and the source of an estimated 95 percent of its production. The problem for those of us who enjoy Bourbon is that the lofty percentage is produced by only eight companies in some 13 distilleries.
Given the dizzying variety of Bourbon brands on store shelves, this is almost hard to believe. But indeed, these few distilleries are the sources for hundreds of brands. ...Read More

Why did you choose this product?
I really like the tree look. I ordered this with the smaller tree like this to provide enough steps up for my cats. Unless you cat is a climber or as good a jumper as my older cat used to be I'd not buy this without the shorter one, or finding another way to help them get up to the top perch. The poofy platforms are not really useable but look neat. The second bed-perch is decently smaller than the top so only is good for sitting in with my bigger cats. Mild assembly required but the screws are already in good placement. I had to really shove it in place to get it positioned but it worked and I'm not super strong. I opted to not use one of the smaller perch's screws since it's still super secure with the 4. A power drill or strength is needed to get them flat. Both of my trees arrived in identical pale green carpeting. They look really good side by side and are a great alternative to the typical cat tree. My older can for sure scratches it since he grew up having a cat tree. All and all, my cats and I like them and wouldn't consider returning. Our cat corner forest is here to stay....

A good addition to buying the smaller tree.

The best tree out. The cats love it, plan. To order two more. GREATRead More
The picture is a lie
The cat tree showed up with turquoise and brown carpet instead of what's pictured, which is dark green and tan. Customer service refused to verify the color of a replacement. Waste of time and money.Read More
very happy cat thus very happy owner
I never wanted a cat tree I thought they were ugly. Then I spotted the one in your add and It looked like something out of Dr. Sues. Boughtit and I put it together easy as can be.. my cat loves it and it s a real conversation piece. thank youRead More
Buyer Beware
It looks NOTHING like the picture. The colors are different and the flat green "seating" do not exist. They are crumpled and you can't flatten them. My friend and I had to nail them down. They look a little better, but I would not recommend puchasing this tree. What you see is not what you get. My cat hates it.Read More
Good tree, cats love it!
Excellent cat tree. Have been wanting the mushroom design so it would look good in the family room without being overbearing. Both cats love it, 1 is 10 lbs, the other 13 or so. They both like the bolstered top which is large enough to easily accomodate a larger cat and both have even squeezed themselves into the much smaller bolstered nest below the top which is really only big enough for a kitten. In fact the smaller cat is currently in the top bed and the larger one in the tiny bed below. As it's near where I watch TV and work on the computer, they spend a lot of time in this tree although there is a much larger one near a window and one outside in the sun room. The base is stable enough for them both to leap up the tree trunk from the ground chasing wand toys to the top. It wobbles a bit but has never come close to toppling. My only criticism is that I needed a pretty powerful drill to attach the top and still ended up stripping one of the screws. I tried using the cordless drill but no dice so had to change to the electric and it took some muscle. And although I noticed the stem wasn't quite flat, once the top was attached, the bolstered bed is very canted. Luckily the bolstered sides are deep enough that the cats don't seem to mind the bed being so sloped, otherwise I'm sure they'd fall right off. It was so hard to get the top on that I'm not willing to try to remove it to fix the problem. I plan on ordering another and will find some way to correct this if the new one arrives with the same problem. Overstock definitely has the best price, I checked many sites over several days. Overall, a good deal for this style and it's been well worth it for my cats.Read More
I was so sad that my cats would not use it. I have 2 large cats that did not fit well in it so they opted out. I have 2 smaller cats that were frightened of the height. The platform was not steady so they were wary of it. The only one using it was my little female who like clawing at it. I even rubbed it with catnip. They were tempted but that was it. I considered returning it but the shipping was pretty steep. I might donate it to our local animal shelter. This tree would be GREAT for kittens because they'll cliimb anything. By the time they're grown, they are used to it.Read More
Cute, but not stable
The tree I received, did not have the relatively flat, cushioned looking perches shown in Overstock's picture. Mine has tufted, lumpy perches; so lumpy in fact, that it is impossible for a cat to sit or lay on them. My cat is able to climb over them and they are helpful landing surfaces for climbing the tree, but not for resting on. Another difference was the color. The tree I received was a much lighter green than the tree in the picture. I was fine with this since it made the tree blend in better with our other furnishings, but prospective buyers should be aware that there may be a color substitution without prior notification. Also, the base of the tree in the picture is very different than the tree I received. There appears to be more bracing for stability on the tree in the picture. My tree did not have any of this. The "trunk" is simply screwed down from the underside of the base; hence, it rocks quite noticeably. The written description does not reveal the dimensions of the beds or perches. While the title of this item describes it as a "Large Cat Tree", it is unclear if they mean to suggest that the tree is meant for large cats or that the tree itself is large. Taking into account the very small size of both the perches and one of the beds, this leaves only one area of the tree that is suitable for a large cat, the top bed. The quality of the carpet attachment seems sufficient, but I feel the structure as a whole, is far too wobbly to be considered stable. My 3lb. kitten is able to make it rock when she plays hard on it or runs at it at top speed. I'm sure there is potential for a larger, heavier cat to be able to tip it over. The tree I received rocks where the "trunk" attaches to the base and the whole unit tips a little when the kitten leaps into it. We will be mounting ours to a larger, heavier platform for more stability and peace of mind. I realize that this tree ( or a very similar one), sells for quite a bit more from many other retailers; perhaps this explains the concessions in quality that have been made on the units being sold here for a significant discount. If you or someone you know is even a little handy, you may be willing / able to make a few adjustments.Read More
Large Cat Play Tree
The only con is that the platform base is a little bit small, and it is not secure. It wobbles when the cats climb up and down ( cats are under 10 lbs each). My solution is to put it against a wall, and wedge one side of the base under something to hold it stable ( like a piece of furniture).Read More
Not exactly as pictured
My problem with this is that the lower basket did not fit in correctly (it was 1 in. higher than the opening) so we had to attach it with the cut out part facing inward. Thus, it is not as depicted in the photo, & the cats cannot use the cut out part. We even had our neighbor, who is a licensed contractor, come over & see if we were just missing something or what (duh). He could not see how it was supposed to fit either & we weren't going to start sawing on it to make the opening bigger. We purchased 2 of them, & both had the identical problem. We called the company, & he offered to replace them if we wanted, but the box was torn apart on one to remove it, etc. - not to mention the hassle & cost to take it to the UPS place & have it sent back. I would have given it a 5 star rating if not for this issue with the lower basket. Mine were done in a lovely sage green - very pretty & the quality was fine. But they should have been cut the correct amount so the basket would go in so the cats could access the basket easier using the cut out.Read More
Questions & Answers
interesting design
I have an active cat and I wanted to give her an outlet.
Hello, I would like to order this in Teal. It doesn't let me chose a color. My guess is that there's not any available in Teal. Will you be getting more in? Thanks
Hello salem333, items are restocked as they become available; however, we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
I would like to order the tree that has two level perches/steps. There are two different pictures shown how do I specify?
Hello des18, I hope your day is going well. This is coming in the beige. Thank you for shopping with us.
No assembly instructions were enclosed, just screws stuck in the seats that need to be attached. Am I just supposed to wing it?
Hello researchdrive, Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
All you need to do is line screw them to the 2 tree "branches". Very easy
What are the heights from the floor up of the top 3 perches? Also, there are two totally different trees pictured. The 1st picture (w/ just a white background) shows a lighter green tree with "roots" on the base, and the perches are flat surfaces w/ fitted carpeting. The other pictures show darker green carpeting with the trunk portion of the tree just plain, w/ very "lumpy" looking perches. Which of the two is more accurate?
Hello researchdrive, We apologize, but we do not have exact heights for the top three perches, but we can tell you that the tree is roughly 48 inches tall from base to top. The reason on this is that each tree is unique and that sizes and dimensions may vary slightly from tree to tree. The top perch and the middle perch are more like cat beds, while the other middle and lower perches are more like soft, flat ledges with loose carpeting.Please let us know if you have any further questions.
51" from bottom to top. The last description is the correct one.
How many inches across are the cat beds?
The diameter of the top perch is 16 inches. The middle one is 12 inches wide and the two smallest ones are eight inches wide.
The middle one is a 12 inch and the two sides is an 8 inch half circle perches The diameter of the top perch is 16 inches
The top perch has a diameter of 16 inches. The one in the middle is 12 inches wide, while the two smallest ones are eight inches wide.
What are the measurements of the top perch?
Base 20 x 20 1st perch 10 x 12 2nd perch 12" round Third perch 10 x 12 Top perch 16 " round

Working an oil rig will make a man of you
The original caption incorrectly identified a roughneck, Tait Salzer. He is on the right in the photo. Working an oil rig in North Dakota's oil fields is a strenuous life. Tait Salzer, right, left a cattle ranch in South Dakota to try roughnecking.
We've told you how the oil boom in North Dakota is changing global markets. All that new production is giving even the Middle East more competition. But it all starts with an oil rig and the men who keep it going.
Independent radio producer Todd Melby has been working on a series, "Black Gold Boom," and he talked to a young roughneck named Tait Salzer. Listen to his series in the audio above.
Todd Melby's series, Black Gold Boom, is an initiative of Localore and the Association for Independents in Radio.

Sarrah Harris '14Major/Minor: Anthropology major with minors in art history and museums studies.
Where are you from? Ephratah, NY
Why did you choose Hartwick? When did you know Hartwick was for you?
My Visit Day in the spring went well and the research I did on the campus drew me to Hartwick.
What does "theory in practice" mean to you?
To take what you have learned in the classroom and use it in a job-like setting or in research.
What are your classes like?
The professors are very close to their students, and they go out of their way to encourage you and help you succeed.
What organizations, teams and activities are you involved in?
I am the secretary of the Anthropology Club, the president of Craft Club, the treasure of the Ballroom Dance Club and the secretary for the campus' Habitat for Humanity chapter.
How did you first get involved with the Yager Museum?
My freshman year I was looking for work study and one of my friends suggested that I apply for a job in the museum. I ended up taking a museum studies course and became a museum studies minor!
How do you describe Hartwick to your friends back home?
Hartwick is a small school, but small is not bad. There is a strong sense of community and strong student-faculty relations.
Where will you go from here/what's next for you?
After graduation I plan on applying to jobs and graduate schools. I hope to work for a non-profit museum in collections management or administration.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Gallbladder support
Posted By: Jan (O-)
Hi -
Does anyone have any suggestions about gallbladder problems? I finally got in to see the H.M.D. today and he said that the pain on the top of my feet and the back pains, etc were all in my gallbladder meridians. He gave me many homeopathic injections into all my gallbladder trigger areas and said I might feel a little under the weather while it gets straightened out. Well, guess what La Nina hit really hard. I feel really stormy allright. Sick and emotional and just yuk. How to cope, what to do? Any suggestions? Anybody else been through this?
thanks for listening

Apr. 2015 - Hunter's Hope Foundation Hires New Chief Operating Officer
The Hunter's Hope Foundation announced the addition of its new Chief Operating Officer, Dennis Sampier, former vice president of community relations for the NBA Detroit Pistons and executive director of the team's Come Together Foundation, in Auburn Hills, MI. Sampier brings a wealth of professional knowledge to Hunter's Hope, but his personal experience as a father of a child with special needs is what truly sparked his interest in the Foundation.
"After my son was diagnosed with autism in 2005, my wife and I experienced a deep sense of hopelessness and grief," Sampier explained. "Not that I would ever claim to know exactly what families affected by Leukodystrophies endure, but I understand the tremendous impact caring people can make when they come together to make a positive difference for a child and their family in need."
Oct. 2014 - PA Legislature Passes Hannah's Law Mandating Newborn Screening for Krabbe and Similar Disorders
By a unanimous vote, Pennsylvania state senators passed Hannah's Law (HB 1654), a bill mandating newborn screening for Krabbe and five similar disorders. The bill is named in honor of Pennsylvania's Hannah Ginion, who is affected by Krabbe Leukodystrophy, but was diagnosed after the disease was too far progressed for the only available treatment. The bill officially became law when signed by Governor Tom Corbett.
In addition to the 33 diseases currently on the state's newborn screening panel, Hannah's Law mandates that all babies born in Pennsylvania undergo newborn screening for Krabbe Disease and five other Lysosomal Storage Disorders – Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, Niemann-Pick A/B and Hurler's Syndrome.

Editor's Note: The struggles that soldiers go through in the heat of battle don't necessarily end when they come home. The trauma they experience can lead to numerous psychological injuries. One reporter witnessed these terrible effects as he followed the lives of soldiers returning from Iraq. This post originally appeared on The Progressive Book Club.
Following the lives of soldiers back from from multiple tours in Iraq in 2007, Colorado Springs reporter David Philipps quickly noticed a grim pattern. Many soldiers from the brigade he was covering went on drug-fueled crime sprees including shootings, brawls, beatings, rapes, domestic violence, and suicide.
Eight were arrested for murder or attempted murder. He found that many had been "blown up" multiple times by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Thanks to modern medicine and modern armor, they came home without visible wounds; but, as Philipps began to understand, they had picked up severe psychological injuries–Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, paranoia, and depression among them–which may, at a minimum, have fed into their behavior.
In his new book, Lethal Warriors: Uncovering the Tragic Reality of PTSD, Philipps tells the harrowing tale of these soldiers and their struggles with combat stress injuries, and of the U.S. military's belated and faltering efforts to help them. In the excerpt below, he explains that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have produced "tens of thousands" of casualties like the Colorado men, "walking wounded hidden in the force."
From the Introduction
Iraq and Afganistan are new kinds of wars with new kinds of casualties. Though the wars have produced relatively few American dead, that is, to a large extent, because of new advances in body armor, armored vehicles, and sophisticated lifesaving techniques. In the Civil War and World War II, one in three soldiers wounded in combat died from his injuries. In Vietnam it was one in four. In Iraq and Afghanistan it is somewhere around one in fifteen. This stunning advancement does not even count the thousands who, because of better armor, were never seriously wounded in the first place. A massive explosion that could have evaporated an infantry company in the Civil War might cause little more than a concussion to troops in an armored Humvee in Baghdad. Many of the soldiers later arrested for murder had been blown up half a dozen times and received barely a scratch. But that does not mean modern combat does not inflict wounds. These modern conflicts have produced tens of thousands of walking wounded hidden in the force. Nothing illustrates the new dynamic better than this: by 2009, while the United States was engaged in two separate wars, more soldiers died from suicide, drugs, and alcohol than died by the hand of the enemy.

I am a 44 year wife of a combat officer...I think I have PTSD from trying to cope with the craziness that has gone on in our life, i.e. his PTSD. I need to let go of him and save myself but I feel guilty about leaving him.
The Army is notorious for being anti-mental health treatment. Attitudes and policies must change if our military is going to be strong and able.
People in the previous wars DID have ptsd, only back then it was called shell shock. It was common for soldiers returning from war to lead the rest of their lives almost lost to the living world, with some of them completely out of touch with reality and needing constant family care.
Having said that, people in older times were more mentally robust than we are now. They had less pressure in their general life, and the attitude (especially of the British of whom my family are a part) was that you just 'got on with it.' nowadays we are socially trained to almost expect mental illness and an inability to cope.
My father suffers ptsd from his tour in Vietnam, now my brother suffers it too as a result of his tour in Afghanistan. I suffer anxiety and depression so they have someone they can talk to when not at counselling, and they have each other of course. My brother's is so bad he can no long continue in the army, instead he works for their hospitals, talking to other ptsd soldiers.
I think the world would feel more passionate about stopping this invasion we are currently involved in if the count of the dead was alongside a count of those permanently mentally traumatised.
" The Hidden Casualties of War: PTSD in Soldiers "
Not to mention the depleted uranium exposure and the H1N1 vaccine biological time bombs ticking away in their bodies.
The travesties of war endure for generations. Support our soldiers-bring them home! And then provide the supports they need when they come home. The billions given to Haliburton and other Bush-Cheney friends and the unconscionable tax breaks retained by the richest of the rich should be used to help our servicemen and servicewomen who have sacrificed so much.
Why can't our civilization, the most advanced, help us create a world without wars.? Greed, lust for power and fame, and all the abominable dispositions have increased with increase in human intelligence.
Let us think about that, and there will no need for veterans, for there will be no wars to breed veterans. What a happy world this will be!

@Sandra. The reasons are complex, the nature of war has changed, in WWI and WWII the enemy wore a uniform and was therefore easily identified - it's more unsettling when everyone in civilian dress may be the enemy. Also in the two WWs returning soldiers sailed across an ocean to get home, 5-7 days at sea and they were returning to a population that generally understood what the war was about ... now soldiers are in a battlezone and within 24 hours they are back in civvy street among a population that in too many cases knows nothing of what it's like or are hostile to the whole business, making reintegration much more difficult. It's complex!!!!!
What is seen and experienced overseas is definitely something I would not want to have in my subconscious to remember the rest of my life. It is just horrible what service people suffer abroad and when they come home. :-(

By Ed BrockJan Ingram of Jonesboro has noticed the increased presence of law enforcement on the highway in Clayton and Henry counties. Their presence means 100 Days of Summer HEAT, the statewide crackdown on traffic violations sponsored by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, is still in full swing. "I think it's good. It keeps the idiots down," Ingram said. "They need to be out to do their job." The Summer HEAT program for 2005 is almost halfway finished and the program has led to a significant number of arrests and citations. "It's been very steady," said Clayton County Police Capt. Tom Israel. Israel heads the county's traffic enforcement division as well as the multi-county Highway Enforcement Against Aggressive Traffic Unit that lends its acronym to the summer program. Summer time means more people on the road for vacation, and that can also mean more dangerous or intoxicated drivers on the move. "This is the time of year we stress safe vehicle operation," Israel said. "This program works. Last year it reduced fatalities by quite a bit." During last year's campaign officers state wide issued 61,165 seat belt citations, 8,785 child restraint citations, 223,470 speeding citations (4,164 of which were for commercial vehicles), 2,737 reckless driving charges, stopped 18,038 uninsured motorists and 17,152 drivers with suspended or revoked licenses. They also made arrests for 272,497 non-traffic related offenses, including 7,409 for drug-related offenses, 5,850 felony arrests, found 6,156 wanted persons and stopped 1,986 stolen cars. In May and June of this year, according the GOHS Web site, the Clayton County Police Department, Sheriff's Office and the police at Clayton State University made 126 DUI arrests. They cited 1,442 people for speeding and 269 people for seatbelt and child restraint violations. They also made 99 drug related arrests, 32 other felony arrests and apprehended 199 fugitives. June's statistics are not available for Henry County, but in May Henry County police reported 91 DUI arrests to the Web site. They cited 861 people for speeding and 309 drivers for seat belt and child restraint violations. Officers in that county also made 25 drug related arrests and caught 29 fugitives. This is the second year for 100 Days of Summer HEAT and the HEAT units were begun in individual cities about three years ago. While the GOHS doesn't have all the data yet on whether actual driving speeds have gone down, Deputy Director Rob Mikell has high hopes for the program. "Every indication is it is going well," Mikell said. "The message is out there and law enforcement is out there in a little bit higher numbers than they would be otherwise." Although the number of fatalities were a little higher than predicted for the Memorial Day and Independence Day holiday weekends, a disappointing fact for all the agencies participating in the program, Mikell said he's hoping there is a positive side to that. "I feel like that's also put an extra fire in all our stockholders to keep something like that from happening again," Mikell said. This year Israel's unit is focusing on the use of saturated patrols more than road-checks, but they are still averaging four road-checks a week on random roads. Henry County police are focusing a little more on road-checks, said Lt. Jason Bolton with that agency. On Aug. 30 there will be a statewide interstate enforcement blitz and then four more such blitzes in Clayton County during that same month. Ashley Johnson of McDonough has felt the HEAT. "I got a speeding ticket a couple of months ago," Johnson said. "I got caught." Johnson admits she was just going too fast down a back road in Locust Grove, though the speed limit does change pretty quickly there. However, she would like to see more enforcement on the interstates where some drivers like to tailgate at high speeds. "I wish that they would catch those kind of people," Johnson said. "Especially those 18-wheelers. They get right up on me."
