Does my dog miss me?
I didn't see my mutt Ace for more than two weeks while I traveled across North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California last month. Ace got to stay with my parents in Wisconsin.
I missed Ace terribly. But did he miss me? Nope.
One mistake people make is to project human emotions to their dogs. It's easy to do. I admit it made me feel better to believe Ace and my cats missed me. In reality, they probably forgot I left. Someone else was feeding them, playing with them and giving them affection. That's about all they care about. It's part of being an animal and living in the moment.
When I drove away from my parents' house without Ace last month, he paced and watched me intently. He was anxious when he realized I was leaving him behind because his usual routine is to be with me.
But the second my car was out of sight, Ace immediately moved on. Instead of pining over me, he grabbed his tennis ball and followed my mom and her dogs around. Whether or not I was coming back was not really an issue for Ace. When I finally did return, he was happy. But he would've been happy to see anyone, especially someone holding a tennis ball.
When I went to get Ace, he was happy to see me just because I was there, not because I'd been gone a long time. Once he saw me, he forgot I had been gone in the first place. He was like, "Oh, hey! Didn't see ya there!"
Dogs react to our emotions
If I were to walk out and get the mail and come back acting like I hadn't seen my dog in two weeks, he would greet me with matching energy.
If you don't know what I mean, give it a try.
Walk to the end of your driveway without your dog. Then go back inside, call out "Ace! I haven't seen you forever, buddy!" and get down on your hands and knees. Your dog will use this opportunity to soak up some extra attention by rolling on the ground in front of you, licking you or at least wagging his tail.
It's not that your dog is faking anything. It's just that he truly picks up on your energy. That's why people love dogs!
You could also try the same experiment, only this time walk through the door and completely ignore your dog. Don't talk to him. Don't touch him. Don't even look in his direction. You will get a very different response than the first time you walked through the door.
If you want to teach your dog to be calm when people visit, the first step is to stop training him to act so excited every time you come home! It's unfair to expect him to act one way when you come home and another way when guests visit.
A dog's concept of time
Ace had no idea I'd been gone for two weeks.
One of the reasons I'm able to leave my dog when I travel is because I know he has a great time when I'm gone. If he thought about me at all, he wasn't thinking about why I left, and he definitely had no concept of how long I'd been gone. Instead, he was thinking about his food, his toys, smelling the Wisconsin breeze and following my mom's dogs around. I'm convinced he did not think about me at all.
Dogs do not worry about the past or the future. They make the best out of their current situations. It's the reason why dogs can adapt to new homes or life in a shelter.
Ace adapted just fine when I adopted him from his previous owner. I like to think there's something special about me, but Ace would adapt just fine to a third or a fourth home. As far as Ace is concerned, anyone willing to throw a tennis ball could provide him a pretty good home.
My dog is mad at me for leaving
I do a lot of pet sitting in Solana Beach, and I also worked at a boarding kennel for years. Through these jobs I've dealt with dog owners of all kinds. Many dog owners don't understand their dogs and want to believe their dogs are pining over them the whole time they're gone.
The dogs I take care of are always, always having a great time without their owners. Most dogs are going to have a great time with someone willing to walk them, run them, play with them, pet them and feed them. It's very basic.
Whenever Ace has stayed with anyone new or at a boarding kennel, he comes home exhausted from the extra mental and physical stimulation. He is somewhat introverted like me and needs to "recharge" after being around new people or new places. He will sleep for a good 36 hours when he comes home. The more tired he is, the more fun I know he had.
It's as though Ace is thinking, "Well, there's nothing going on here, time to catch up on some sleep."
This lethargic behavior can cause dog owners to believe their dogs are holding grudges against them for leaving. This is not true at all. A dog is not capable of holding a grudge, because that would involve holding onto the past. If your dog is acting differently when you bring him home, it's most likely because he's tired.
I know that when my dog comes home from a pet sitter's house or a kennel, he is just catching up on some well-needed rest. He is not sick or depressed, and he has no bad feelings towards me for leaving him.
I'm tired after a vacation or a day of hard work, and so is my dog. It's as simple as that.
In what ways do you accidentally humanize your dog? How does your dog act when you come home?

I think you are mistaken. My dog most certainly misses me and I feel terrible about it. I recently separated. I left my ex at the house we previously shared with both our dogs. When I came home today he cried like he was hurt physically. It was awful. I can tell he is depressed. There is nothing I can do at the moment. I have let him down and I hate it.
I have a daughter who has recently got married and she has a odd that has always lived with us bf does not like her dog bc he is so protective over her so she moved out recently and left the dog here at my home , does the god know she is gone will he be ok will he get over it , he walks to her room and sees nothing is left but all his play toys in her room and walks out ….please help me
I ment to say my daughter has a dog
i'm glad i found this article; i am about to leave soon for two weeks and i too am concerned about my dog; i left before but not for so long; when i called home to ask how she was, my familly told me that she was ok, not sad, with healty appetite and playful; i hope this will happen again;
thanks again for this article
Hmm I don't know about that. When I was a kid and my older brother was in college, our dog would absolutely flip out crying and barking, and even accidentally pissing on the floor when he would return after being gone for months.
You can see the same kind of dramatic behavior with pets reunited with owners after military service.
There definitely seems to be a marked difference in their behavior after a long period of absence. I would definitely love to see some scientific research that tests this and quantifies it.
Dogs don't forget. I have a wolf and a black lab and I was gone for a year. When I came back they came charging at me. My lab was cry howling and putting his head between my legs whimpering and my wolf was prancing around and jumping on me.
Yeah, they don't forget
My boyfriend and I have a dog together which we've had since he was 4 weeks old and he is now a year old. I'm growing increasingly concerned as our relationship deteriorates how my dog will react once he's no longer going to be seeing his "dad" anymore. In the event of us breaking up I would be moving to another state and the chance they'd see each other again is unlikely. What should I do? Will he be okay?
Some of the things you wrote are acceptable, but most of them are just untrue.
A dog is faithful to his owner and will miss him. The only reason a dog wouldn't act like that is because he doesn't see you as a "partner" or is a dog that doesn't value partnership in general. As an example I can tell you what happened in my case.
We have a family dog, a Maltese.
My mom and I always fought about who Chili (her name) likes most but recently it was too obvious about who she sees as her partner. When my parents went on a trip, Chili barked a few times to make them notice her and that was that. She then stay around me no matter where I went.
But, when I was gone, things were a bit different. She kept going on the floor where my room is located and stayed in front the door to my room. She remained there for hours every day.
Also, there were various occasions when I got home and wasn't really in good mood to salute my dog in an energetic way or in a way with which I would show any kind of happiness. But every time I open the front door, she comes out and starts running around me like mad, barking and squealing out of happiness of seeing me again. I remember that once, when she was still young, she got so happy that she started peeing. She just couldn't hold it in.
Another good example was that recent video of a dog that fainted of all the happiness when her partner came back after (i think) 3 years of studying in another country.
Based on my experience I can say that dogs (and at least a few more animals) have feelings, but same as humans, they have preferences as well. They won't like everyone and won't miss everyone in the same way.
Thank you for this post! My husband and me are leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow and it's the first time we'll leave our dog at a dogsitter she's not familiar with (we usually leave her with my dad, whom she knows and loves) and there will be other dogs there, too. I was super anxious and worried that she will think we abandoned her… Your post made me feel much better 🙂
You are wrong, they have videos of Dogs to haven't seen each other and they run and cry and carry on. Wolves do this too when they've been apart from each other. Lots of videos of Veterans who come home after Months to Years and they will sneak in and surprise the dog and they go nuts crying and running in a celebration that they are home again. It's pure love. Also, for one example president Franklin Roosevelt had a dog named Fala he was a Scottish Terrier and they were inseparable, when FDR died that dog wouldn't eat or drink he wanted to be near the President's bed or his desk. He did eat and drink and lived with Eleanor Roosevelt until 1952 he was 12 and is the only Presidential Pet who has a Statuary right next to his master's (FDR's Statue). New studies of blood levels of "love" hormones have been done and they are finding that indeed animals have feelings. Ever hear of an animal not eating though they have no health problems? It is depression and it can end up killing them. Just because they don't have the speech that we humans use or the muscles in their faces that show expressions does NOT mean that they have no feelings of love or affection or caring. That's foolish with all we know these days.
I just got a German Shepherd 7 weeks ago. He is 17 weeks old. I have an opportunity to have him go to boarding and training school for 3 weeks. My concern is that he will forget me because I haven't had him for that long and he's young. Any thoughts, suggestion, etc? Do you think he's too young for this boarding school? Do you think he will forget us?
Hello, my sister wanted a dog for her four daughters, they are ten years of age and below, so I bought a German Shepherd, she was two months old, after three months being with us, I decided to give her away because I didn't like the way how my sister would treat her. It has passed one day, and I miss her so much, every time I think of her, I start crying. I don't know what to do.
My parents got a black lab puppy in January, and I was lucky enough to come visit when they brought her home at 7 weeks (I'm an adult who dosent live with them, but our view is I'm her "big sister" and she's my dog too). We spent a few days together, sometimes alone, and then I had to go back to my place. I've visited twice since then, same duration and me taking care of her alone sometimes, about to visit a third, about once a month, and every time I see her she goes a bit more nuts for me. Last time I was there (she was 4 months at that point), and she peed when she saw me, whimpered, the whole nine, just like your article says. However, Tikka, even for a puppy, is usually a chill little dog. Dosent care when the phone rings, doorbell, thunder, etc, and calmly greets visitors. Meanwhile she looses it when she sees me. Even when I would calmly come out of my room in the morning and she'd be chilled out on the floor, she'd see me and ambush me. One day she was waiting for me and pounced on me when I opened my bedroom door. When I left she laid down in front of the front door and gave us the whale eye, and had to be moved so I could leave, and my mom said she then sat at the front window and cried till my mom comforted her. She also lost her mind when she heard me on speakerphone the other day, barking her face off when she's usually quite quiet. I know she's happy and healthy and loved with my parents and I keep telling myself she dosent miss me when I'm gone, but I can't help but interpreting these signs that she misses me terribly, despite your informative article. Do I have it all wrong?
Hi! I love this article.
I just got a eight week old toy poodle last Monday. Baxter and I are so attached and since he was so young when I got home he didn't fully get to learn all his social and behavioral issues from his mom. But I believe that to him I am his mom now. I only had him a week until I had to leave town last minute for work for a week so he is staying with my boyfriend and my boyfriend is taking care of him while I am gone. I had two trips planned which allowed me to come home after just two and half days for a few hours until my next flight. I was really nervous when I got back he wouldn't be attached to me anymore and would like my boyfriend more. When I went home for the few hours he was so excited to see me but it didn't last that long. He started crying for my boyfriend to hold him and play with him etc. I got really upset. Does he like my boyfriend more since I left him? I have only had him a week and then my boyfriend will have been watching him a week so is he confused who is his owner? I just left this morning for my next trip and will be home in a couple days, but I am nervous and sad if he does the same thing he did after my other short trip. This trip is a little longer so does he hate me for leaving again?:( and does he know I'm mommy? Or does he want my boyfriend to be his owner now?

When should we use images (jpg, png) and when should we use XAML in an application.
+ "easy" for the designer to create what he wants
+ are displayed the same on every computer
- fixed resolution
+ vector format (resolution independent, resize able, ...)
+ can be animated
+/- rendered by the client
- not as many effects available as for images or are really complex to create
- complex visual tree
I could not find any source, that compares the resource usage (CPU, RAM) between images and XAML.
I personally think everything should be XAML, but I don't want to have an application that is slow as hell. Are there any good performance guidelines for using XAML drawings?
Researching this I've read that you should have everything in XAML and then use RenderTargetBitmap to create static images on demand, but according to this article it will cause the window to be rendered without hardware acceleration. So I'm wondering if it is really an improvement for performance. Ignoring the fact that it is much more work for the coder.

Personally, I think the tablecloth idea is more plausible than the Hawaiian quilt. But then I'm not a quilter. Seasonally / tropically speaking, at least I'm probably avoiding mine looking like everyone else's designs. ;-)

For you to be able to erroneously say that, you have to do what amounts to changing Scripture..The word is church....a noun. You change it to Church which is a proper noun.
And He never built a "church"...He established Christianity. Quote:
church: ekklhsia a calling out, i.e.(concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both):--assembly, church.
The Catholic religion is a denomination....same as all Protestant religions...they are all denominations.....
Not one word about establishing Christianity in all of scripture.
He did establish His Church...and it IS in scripture;
And I say to you: That you are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

Hudson Valley Gets Ready For Drive-In Season
Did you spend your summers growing up by going to see movies at the drive-in? Are there any drive-in movie theaters still left in the Hudson Valley? Here are a few to check out:
Did you spend your summers growing up by going to see movies at the drive-in? Are there any drive-in movie theaters still left in the Hudson Valley? Here are a few to check out:
A local multiplex theater is set for major renovations that will come just in time for some big blockbuster releases.
Hey movie fans: Looking for something off the beaten path? Maybe to discover a new favorite or catch up on some classic films? Paramount's got you covered.
Plus the entire list of what's disappearing. Plan your binging accordingly!
With the weather starting to heat up, it's time to enjoy all that the Hudson Valley has to offer. If you're looking for something different to do, how about watching a movie outdoors...
The horror! Imagine having that movie or TV show waiting in your instant queue, only to find on January 1st that it's been removed from Netflix on demand...
Santa Claus, who without a doubt really does exist, doesn't have time to make a personal appearance in every Hollywood movie about Christmas ever made. Instead, he relies on a number of talented actors to portray him on the silver screen.
There comes a time when we must stop kidding ourselves. These 'Hobbit' films – with 'The Desolation of Smaug' representing the shank of the trilogy – are not real movies. These are exploitation films for Tolkien nuts, for enthusiasts of the original 'Lord of the Rings' movies and for audiences so hungry for high fantasy they'll gobble up whatever is served to them and ask for seconds.
As someone who has sympathy, but not empathy, for those who have such proclivities, I can get why someone might come away liking this picture. But that is more of an involuntary reaction to exposure to certain elements, not the summation of a film. Listen, there's a grey-bearded wizard who warns in low tones about a place that sounds like "Doggledoor." And there's someone referred to as "Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror." I love that geekorama stuff more than most. It's hilarious, and I'll probably refer to my cat as "Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror" for the next week. But this movie doesn't cohere – there's no forward momentum, no character development, no story happening. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a fibber.
These are the 10 Best Sci-Fi Movies of 2013.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' recently returned to Montreal for a few weeks of reshoots. This, in and of itself, is not really news as virtually every big-budget Hollywood movie actually sets aside time for reshoots in their original schedule. But, as Fox announced the reshoots, a more interesting note came along with it: 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is now the second most expensive movie in the 78 years of 20th Century Fox, behind only James Cameron's 'Avatar.'

P&G to End Use of Phosphates in Laundry Detergents
Procter & Gamble plans to end the use of phosphates in all of its laundry detergents in the next two years, a move that will have the greatest impact on developing countries, the Guardian reports.
Phosphates, which are used in powdered detergents to soften hard water, can cause algae blooms, low oxygen levels and even fish deaths when they makes it into waterways.
The company stopped using phosphates in laundry detergent sold in the US in the early 1990s as part of a voluntary commitment from the American Cleaning Institute. P&G eliminated phosphates from detergents sold in Europe several years ago, according to the Guardian.
This latest commitment will focus on detergents sold in developing countries that don't have regulations limiting phosphates in detergents.
Pressure on companies to end the use of phosphates in detergents and other products has steadily increased over the past several decades when the public first became aware of the environmental effect it has on lakes, rivers and other waterways.
For instance, Cintas, in conjunction with Washing Systems, began a company-wide transition in 2012 to a laundry detergent called Structure that uses components free of phosphates and ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid, which have been found in some instances to alter the oxygen and metal levels found naturally in the environment.
Other green companies such as Seventh Generation have never used phosphates in detergents.
In 2011, Whole Foods launched its own rating system for cleaning products it sells, and established standards for personal care products such as shampoo and detergents. The chain's Eco-Scale Rating System for cleaning products uses a color-coded rating system to evaluate the environmental performance and sourcing of each item.
Cleaning products have to meet at least the "orange standard" to be carried at Whole Foods, and products have to list all ingredients on product packaging. The orange standard precludes phosphates, chlorine, artificial colors, animal testing and preservatives that can release formaldehyde.

I'm developing a system in C# (.NET 4.0) which will be used by various kind of users.
Each user type will only be allowed to interact with the application in a specific way. For example, user A should only be able to do operations 1, 2 and 3. User B should only be able to do operation 2, 3 and 4. Etc.
I decided to implement an interface called "Role", which is implemented by various classes such as "Administrator", "Reader", etc. A user may have multiple roles (defined as a list of "Roles").
I'd like each role ("Administrator", "Reader", etc.) to have a list of allowed operations. I was thinking of defining an enum somewhere which will contain all operations possible within the application. Each "Role" would then have a list of items found in that enum.
I find this rather unoptimized, since I will have to always make sure to keep this enum up-to-date as I implement new functionalities in my application.
What approach would you recommend that I use ? Are there any design patterns that can help me out ?

text: Enter the Black Hole Enter into the Black Hole where reality and gravity prevents anything, including your team, from escaping. Once you enter this realm, there is no escaping, only the few have survived, and lived to tell the tale. Enough with the introduction, Hey there Smogon, this is my first RMT! I've just started using Pokemon Online, I mostly do Wifi, but I wanted to battle more competitive people. So, I joined Smogon to get some insights on how my team is and how I can improve this team. Without further adieu, let's get into the team. Fly into the Black Hole for the Team building Purposes Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Bronzong is the core to every Trick Room team, so it was obvious to start with him. With great bulk and access to Trick Room and Stealth Rock, I had to start with him. |__|_ Next I needed someone who would work outside of Trick Room and who has perfect synergy with Bronzong. With Bronzong only having have a weakness to Fire, I thought about a Fire type pokemon that could work with Bronzong. Seeing how Infernape has a weakness to Ground, Psychic, Flying and Water, Bronzong covers all of Infernape's weakness with ease. |__|_ _|_ Next, I needed a Second Trick Roomer. There were several that came to mind, but I needed the one that could set up Trick Room and sweep by itself. Reuniclus is the second Trick Roomer. The most broken pokemon to still be in the OU Tier. I love this pokemon he can fit on every Trick Room Team, he was like Bronzong in Gen IV, everyone had to have him. |__|_ _|__|_ Conkeldurr was very simple to add on the team. I know about its brute strength when he activates Guts. Also he has Hammer Arm which is his best STAB move and is great for Trick Room. With access to Mach Punch he can easily pick off weakened Pokemon. Plus Conkeldurr has good synergy with Reuniclus, what ever Reuniclus can't hit Conkeldurr covers that. |__|_ _|__|__|_ After I dropped Jellicent, I went to one of my favorite Pokemon, Slowking. Even though he isn't common in the OU tier, he cause many teams problems. When Slowking is able to get a Nasty Plot, Surf and Fire Blast becomes his bread and butter. Even though Scizor is his greatest nemises, I have Fire Blast to stop him dead in his track. |__|_ _|__|__|__|_ _| The last Pokemon was a toss up. I wanted a mix sweeper that could break my opponents wall. What made me look into Dragonite was his Dragon / Fire / Fighting combo is the only moves that Dragonite needs, the reason why is of course that it hits every Pokemon for at least neutral damage. The last thing was his new ability Multscale. |__|_ _|__|__|__|_ _| With the newest release of Garchomp, I needed a Pokemon that could check the newest threat back in the OU tier. Pocket suggest Genesect over Infernape, b/c Infernape would not revenge kill Garachomp, but luckily Genesect does. It also checks Thundurus-T and other rain threats my team was facing. Team at a Glance Bronzong @ Leftovers Sassy Nature EVs: 244 HP / 180 Atk / 84 SpD Def Trick Room Stealth Rock Gyro Ball Earthquake The only Pokemon on the team that resist Dragon types, it has a large duty to do. Bronzong is the defensive "OH MY GOSH" button. Being able to take hits from both sides is why he has a large duty on this team. His resistance to a lot of types and Stealth Rocks is also a plus, no other Pokemon is great at setting up Trick Room and being able to take a hit better than him. Bronzong ends up as lead, at least 95% of the time, because he packs with him Stealth Rocks, but I am also prone to the TAUNT BAIT. Bronzong's Stealth Rocks is crucial for this team, because every extra damage before hand is a chance for my Pokemon to OHKO or 2HKO my opponent's Pokemon. Gyroball is Bronzong's main source of direct damage, as this its only STAB move. While the coverage isn't great, gyroball is a very strong STAB move against the fast sweepers in the OU tier, which makes for its poor coverage. Earthquake is here to check SubCM Jirachi for the team. The EV spread on Bronzong is slightly interesting. With 252 HP EVs on Bronzong, you hit an HP stat of 338, which is not evenly divisible by 16 and hence does not give you optimal Leftovers recovery. You end up recovering about 6.21% every turn instead of the optimal 6.25%. Forgive me for being paranoid about 0.04%, but with 244 HP EV I remedy this. I also chose Sassy Nature to sponge special attacks, and I still can OHKO Gengar and Tornadus after SR. Genesect @ Choice Scarf Trait: Download EVs: 8 Atk / 252 SpA / 248 Spe Mild Nature (+SpA, -Def) U-turn Ice Beam Bug Buzz Thunderbolt Genesect is the newest member of the team. With Garchomp back in the OU, I needed a Choice Scarf that could check him easily. While Infernape did a good job, it just could revenge kill Garchomp without being KOed by STAB Earthquake. Pocket suggested the use of Genesect on this team, and so far it has done great. Genesect is a nice lead against Deoxys-D, since +1 Bug Buzz from Genesect will limit Tanga Deoxys-D to one layer or maybe not even get a chance to if it doesn't have a Tanga Berry. Reuniclus @ Life Orb Quiet Nature EVs: 96 HP / 160 Def / 252 SAtk Trick Room Psychic Focus Blast Shadow Ball Reuniclus is a hell of a monster Pokemon. Blessed with its Magic Guard ability. When I play with Reuniclus I know I can take out about 3 pokemon on my opponent's team before Trick Room ends. The EVs are from wrestlethebeast, 252 SATk allows me to hit a whopping 383 SATk with a + nature such as Quiet. 160 Def Ev's lets me tank an Outrage from Choice Banded Dragonite. The remaining 96 EV's go into HP for bulk. Focus Miss is just a bitch of a move, the chance of hitting my targets is great but if it doesn't hit I'm fucked. Focus Blast is here to hit Tyranitar, Ferrothorn, and others hard whenever it hits. Shadow Ball is for hitting Latios, Latias, Jellicent, Alakazam and pretty much any other Ghost or Psychic type you want to mention. Since I have Conkeldurr and Infernape to stop Chansey and Blissey, I kept Psychic to hit Pokemon on the special side since I don't have to worry about the pink blobs. This is such a key player on every Trick Room team. Conkeldurr @ Toxic Orb Brave Nature EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 SpD Hammer Arm Mach Punch Ice Punch Facade Conkeldurr is my favorite member of the team, to become an actual real life Pokemon. I just love his brute strength in power he brings in his 10 commandment stones. He's my physical sweeper on the team, and the second one to stop Blissey and Chansey. The move set is based around the max of 3 turns. Conkeldurr covers most of the threats that posed a problem with Reuniclus. The genies were a major concern but with Ice Punch, they're more than covered. Hammer Arm is Conkeludrr's best STAB under Trick Room will allows for crucial OHKOs or 2HKOs, most notably Ferrothorn and Skarmory. The EVs are a little more interesting on this Conkeldurr as it minimizes Toxic damage, while maintaining the bulk necessary in this type of a team. The reduced Toxic damage is a small difference, but Conkeldurr doesn't last for at least 3-4 turns which is all I need Conkeldurr to tear through my opponent's team. Toxic Orb is to activate Guts and render Conkeldurr immune to other statuses, when I see Volcorana I go after it with Facade not too worried about the chance of Burn. Slowking @ Leftovers Quiet Nature EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA Trick Room Nasty Plot Surf Fire Blast Ahh, the Offensive Nasty Plot Slowking. You guys now about this guy. After one Nasty Plot its special attack is already at 658, which is monsterous, Slowbro would dream of having that. With its STAB Surf, a lot of Pokemon are going to KO by in, and don't say if I run into a Rain team, the STAB and Rain boost will be the end of opponents team, unless it has Gastrodon. Fire Blast is here for the Pokemon that constantly are lured in by Slowking which are Scizor, Ferrothorn, Breloom, Magnezone, Skarmory, Jirachi, Forretress, and Genesect. With Fire Blast they will be sent to hell with it, as long as it hits, but its 10X better than Focus Miss from Reuniclus. The only problem with Nasty Plot, is that I have to choose whether to use Nasty Plot first then Trick Room, or Trick Room then Nasty Plot, because if I use Trick Room first I waste a turn of Trick Room and is threatened to be KOed. Dragonite @ Life Orb Quiet Nature EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpA Draco Meteor Fire Blast Superpower Extremespeed When I was making this team I wanted a mixed sweeper on the team to help break some walls. When I'm playing with Dragonite, he usually only stays on the field for 3 turns at the most, because he tends to be switching in and out most of the time. The Dragon / Fire / Fighting combo is the only moves that Dragonite needs, the reason why is of course that it hits every Pokemon for at least neutral. Roost was chosen to get HP back and to get my Multscale back intact. Draco Meteor is OVERKILL, to anyone except the pink blobs, if you have a weak special defense you will most likely be KOed. I jut Life Orb on Dragonite to get some crucial KOes, but I'm thinking about changing his moveset to be more physical. Coming Home I'm very pleased with my team, so far, there are some changes I'm considering making. For example, the movesets on Dragonite and Slowking. Trick Room is something I've enjoyed playing with for a while, and while I know most people don't think of Trick Room to be an effective strategy it can a threat to even the best of the top players. Thanks for reading and Luvdisc if you really enjoyed this team.

The only problem with getting caught up in hype is the inevitable disappointment when you finally get to see and hear what it is you were hyped up about. As those of you who saw it know, and those of you who didn't rightly suspect, the Spice Girls' movie was atrocious.
I'm incredibly excited about the Strokes. They're the most hyped band in ages. They just released their first album and critics are already calling them the future of rock and the best band in the country. Their press is so good that you'd be forgiven for thinking they've done something useful like cure cancer or rid the world of terrorism.
Their sold-out show at the Cotton Club Friday night was superb. It doesn't matter that even casual music fans can easily pick out their musical influences (imagine a new wavey Velvet Underground) because somehow it all works. Matchbox Twenty, Creed and Train probably will sell more records, but it has to break their hearts to realize that they'll never, not even for a second, be as cool as the Strokes. They're so cool they make me want to start a band. (If you wanna be in my band, e-mail me.) They're so cool that I'm reduced to calling them cool for the fourth time in this paragraph.
Oodles of poodles: The Poodle Club of Atlanta held its second Halloween Poodle Party last weekend in East Roswell Park. Although I am not a poodle owner, regular readers of this column know I'm a dog lover, particularly of dogs dressed in ridiculous outfits. So I couldn't pass this up.
I learned quite a bit about poodles at the party. Several people there told me that, with the exception of Border collies, poodles are the smartest breed. I'm not sure what, if any, practical effect being more or less intelligent has on the life of typical American dogs. As a dog owner, it seems to me that if your dog can sit, stay, not go on the rug and not eat the neighbor's child, then he or she is smart enough. It's not as though Border collies can carry on a conversation, write poetry or drive.
Although at times eerily like the movie Best in Show, the poodles and poodle owners I met were a friendly bunch. The dogs were much too distracted by each other and the meat cooking on the grill to pay much attention to me. The only awkwardness was the result of one woman who insisted on telling everyone that her poodle was trained as an attack dog. Introducing yourself to people by essentially saying, "Hi, my dog can kill you if I tell it to," isn't a great icebreaker. Although I do admire the sneakiness of having a poodle as an attack dog. It's kind of like disguising a commando as a Girl Scout. Who'd ever suspect?
It being Halloween, there were dogs in costumes. Even though it's apparently a very popular costume this year, thankfully, none of the dogs were dressed as Osama bin Laden.
Sick columnist: This was the point in the column where I was gonna talk about all of the Halloween parties that I was planning to attend Saturday night. Unfortunately, I came down with some sort of seasonal illness Saturday (not anthrax, but thanks for asking) and did not leave the house. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so that sucks.
Despite my illness, my competitive, self-promoting spirit could not be defeated. On Sunday, I bought a pumpkin at Kroger and carved the name of this column into it. It's in my front yard, with a candle, at this moment. I wonder if Richard Eldredge has a "Peach Buzz" pumpkin in his front yard. I doubt it.
From whiner to shiner: I caught angsty indie prog rock Shiner's set at The Earl late Sunday night promoting its new CD, The Egg. Their live show is more raw and indie-sounding than their records. Singer Allen Epley looks like Elliott Smith with much better skin and sounds like a Midwestern version of Bush prettyboy Gavin Rossdale. As horrible as that combination of traits sounds, even to me, I still liked it. Though almost entirely devoid of the swagger and sex appeal of the Strokes, sincerity and talent still go a long way.

From your Norwalk, CT store. We've had bad milk twice in the last four months. This most recent was purchased 7/19, with a 'sell by' date of 7/26. The milk, not yet sour, curdled and was grainy on date of purchase. In looking at the one gallon container, that same graininess is evident with slight curds adhering to the container above the milk. The sour milk of about four months ago was, simply, the milk being quite sour the day after... Read more ›

Counting on Comfrey?
I recently had back surgery (a lumbar fusion). A friend suggested using comfrey root powder to speed the healing. Do you agree? How much should I take?
Answer (Published 7/31/2003)
Updated on 6/22/2005
Lumbar fusion, like other types of spinal fusion, involves "welding" together two or more of the vertebrae in the spinal column with bone grafts and metal rods to eliminate motion between them that is causing pain or deformity. More than 130,000 lumbar fusions were performed in 1999, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Typically, the surgical wound from these operations heals in about two weeks, and is not the kind of complicated, slow-healing wound for which I would recommend comfrey (Symphytum officinale). However, comfrey does have a well-deserved reputation for healing injured tissues; the genus name Symphytum means "to knit together" in Greek. The healing effects are thought to come from allantoin, a substance that makes cells proliferate, and rosmarinic acid, an anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, these compounds occur together in comfrey with toxins called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). For this reason, comfrey should never be taken by mouth; it can cause serious liver and lung damage.
I do recommend external use of comfrey as a treatment for wounds that do not heal easily such as bedsores (decubitus ulcers), diabetic ulcers, the bites of brown recluse spiders and the terrible staph infections that can affect people living on tropical beaches. To treat these wounds with comfrey, buy the dried root of the plant in bulk, grind it into powder in a blender and mix the amount you need into a paste with water or, better, with aloe vera gel. Then gently pack it into the wound and cover with a bandage. Change this poultice daily, washing out the wound with sterile water and with hydrogen peroxide if any infection is present.

Harold Feld has an interesting response to Bob Quinn's recent Pickett's Charge blog post. While Harold makes a number of points, I want to focus on one in particular. Under the heading of "Argument #2," he raises questions about what other services might be pulled into the kind of classification analysis that his Fantasy Baseball version of the FCC is engaged in.
For purposes of fantasy competition only, let's assume that Harold is right and just "Because all Information Services are Delivered Via Telecommunications, Classifying Broadband Access as a Telecommunications Service Would [Not] Require Classifying Facebook and Akamai as Telecommunications Services." Perhaps Harold is right that the FCC's channeling of Justice Scalia will not result in reclassification of all information services as mixed information and telecommunications services. Under Scalia's reasoning, there might be services where the "telecommunications component" does not seem like a separately identifiable part of the offer (to a discerning regulator).
At the same time, the FCC probably cannot fire a magic bullet that affects the classification only of Internet access services. There are three kinds of services that I'm particularly interested in here. The first is the category that we at AT&T think of as "emerging devices." Things like e-readers, navigation devices, wireless picture frames (the list could go on and on). Users of these services and devices do not purchase wireless data services from traditional wireless providers. Instead, their service provider bundles end-to-end wholesale data transport services (including the user's "last mile") with their own server infrastructure to provide each particular service.
Under the FCC's prior understanding, where information and telecommunications services were mutually exclusive categories, most people would have assumed that such services fell in the information bucket. Now we will all have to consider whether they contain distinct information telecommunications components. Do consumers view these services as including a "transmission component?" Should such services expect to be collateral damage under the proposed approach?

Japan's 'Baby-Type Interaction Device'
Japan, as you may know, has a really low birth rate. People just aren't making enough babies, and grad students at the University of Tsukuba believe that's because they don't know how awesome babies are. Says one:
We'd like people to experience the innocent, joyful expressions typical of small babies...it would be great if some people started feeling that they wanted to have their own baby, if they started feeling that working is not everything.
Their solution? Robot babies. They made a robot baby that is supposed to motivate young people to want real babies of their own. Here's the problem, though: it's totally terrifying. As Jessica Wakeman at The Frisky asked, "Does this Creepy Robot Baby Make You Want To Get Pregnant?"
If Yotaro the Terrifying Robot Baby does not make you want to have babies, consider this: it might be a good idea to start reproducing anyway. We're going to need as many humans as we can get to battle Yotaro when it inevitably becomes self aware and turns on us.

Short answer...only YOU can decide if it is for you. Unfortunately, there are some negatives with nursing that you will experience in school and on the job. It is a profession like no other. And I don't mean that in a positive way.
Now the good news....there are some wonderful things about nursing such as being there for someone in their time of need and a lot of flexibility in job choices.
It seems to be tolerated very well in the profession. Just wondering why there doesn't seem to be the
"hype" about it when the current pc tone is no bullying.
Bullying in public schools has been a topic prevalent in the media and society the last couple years. However, bullying, or "lateral violence", or "incivility" seems to be an ongoing problem in the nursing field.
I have been bullied both as a student and also on the job.
I know others have been bullied too.
Why does it seem so acceptable for nurses to practice bullying ?
I don't think I have ever heard of a solution to this problem.
perhaps lack of incentive to help someone else. Or just the lack of good work ethic in general.
3kmsussman96, ENquisitive, and RN403 like this.
my personal experience has been attitude. Some of my coworkers think doing such and such is not MY shift's responsibility
so they don't do it. They are concerned only what is relevant to their specific shift.
3kmsussman96, RN403, and Not_A_Hat_Person like this.
team work is so important. But unfortunately, it is rare. In my experience, people tend to do ONLY what is necessary for their specific shift.

Hey everyone,,,I just had a lightbulb go off in this feeble brain of mine!
I went to the wrong school! Thanks so much for all your answers and feedback !
I really appreciate it !
And, just to point out something, I did not say every single instructor. I said "almost every instructor".
1TriciaJ likes this.
Wow....I can see that a lot of nursing instructors answered here and I guess I should not be surprised that they are of
the opinion that it really isn't them its the student.
well ...I had a nursing clinical instructor who was going to be removed from teaching clinicals due to
many, many, complaints about her.
So when there were two weeks left of clinical (for the semester) she told me she had seen me
do something unsafe a month earlier, and had the write up in her office waiting for me.
She was very pit bull like, and she was not interested in my side of things whatsoever.
I withdrew from class.
So to all you clinical instructors who took the time to answer this post, why don't you do me a favor and answer the following
question....How does waiting a MONTH to issue me a safety write up, benefit my learning? Is it better for me to be in the dark
for a month about my mistake and perhaps continue making the SAME mistake, than to issue me the warning the same day it
I imagine it is.
I have experienced this with almost EVERY nursing instructor I had.
I can honestly say they would rather see you fail than succeed.
Has anyone else experienced this ?
thanks to everyone for their info !
I have seen where there are RN to BSN programs...but what about LPN to RN programs?
1Nurse216 likes this.
I can totally understand where you are coming from. I feel very little appreciation where I work.
Nursing has a lot of politics to it and I often feel like I am in this profession alone.
can anyone recommend a good website that deals with IV dosage calc problems and
infusion ratios ?
0In Math Tutorials →
I am returning to school to work on my RN degree. I need to refresh my nursing math and was wondering if anyone could recommend some webiste that have nursing math tutorials that they find are helpful.
Thanks !

Keiji Inafune forms two new companies
Former Capcom dev boss Keiji Inafune has announced the formation of two new companies: Intercept and Comcept.
Intercept is the one you're probably interested in, as it's main interest is game production. Inafune has said it's his "new challenge for consumer game development."
The company has three main aims:
- Originality – Cannot be copied by others
- Gravity – Has the power to pull people in
- Beyond the Age – Things that cross eras
Comcept, meanwhile, will deal with forms of entertainment outside of games, such as videos and books.
Inafune, who left Capcom in October of last year, will give a streamable press conference on Monday.
Thanks, Andriasang.

|Statistics (2013)
Viru Viru International Airport (IATA: VVI, ICAO: SLVR) in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia is Bolivia's largest international airport. Viru Viru handles domestic, regional, and international flights from Bolivia, North America, South America and Europe and is the hub for Bolivia's biggest airline Boliviana de Aviación. The airport is able to handle aircraft up to the Boeing 747-400.
The airport was opened in 1983, to replace the obsolete El Trompillo Airport. Upon its inauguration, Viru Viru became a main gateway for international flights. Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano used Viru Viru as a hub before ceasing operations in 2008. On 1 March 1997 the government of Bolivia entered into a 25-year contract with Airport Group International to operate the three largest airports in Bolivia — El Alto International Airport in La Paz, Jorge Wilstermann International Airport in Cochabamba and Viru Viru International Airport. Servicios de Aeropuertos Bolivianos Sociedad Anonima (SABSA) was created to operate the concession. In 1999 Airport Group International was purchased by TBI plc. In 2004, Spain's Abertis/AENA purchased TBI.
