Perhaps it's because I spend a lot of time serving as a liaison to the foreign press at Hadassah University Medical Center that I was so upset about the account of the doctor in Belgium who refused to care for a Jewish patient.The story, reported in this paper, goes like this: One night last week, at around 11 p.m., a man named Hershy Taffel phoned the emergency hotline in Flanders, the Flemish region of Belgium, for help. His grandmother, Bertha Klein, 90, was in terrible pain. "I'm not coming," answered the doctor, and hung up on him. When the shocked Taffel called back, the doctor answered thus: "Send her to Gaza for a few hours, then she'll get rid of the pain."

There's a lot broken with this new version of yours, but the main issue here is to understand how did you guys vanished with the save button on post page? I can't save any of my posts.
Updated AGAIN the other day...and am now seeing this...
The focus keyword doesn't appear in the first paragraph of the copy. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.(it is there)
Bad SEO scoreYou have not used your focus keyword in any subheading (such as an H2) in your copy.(it is there)
Bad SEO score The keyword density is 0%, which is a bit low; the focus keyword was found 0 times.(it is there)
Ok SEO score the images on this page do not have alt tags containing your focus keyword.(it is there)
and on and on and on...this is a train wreck.
Not sure whats going on, but these updates for the last few weeks have been very problematic. We have cleared cookies and all that to no avail.
I used this plugin and recommended it to everyone in blog posts. I installed it into client websites and blogs and spent time teaching them how to use it
The latest update is total garbage. Now, I have to upload an older version and tell all clients not to upgrade it.
That's my workaround for now, until I decide what SEO plugin I'm going to use in the future.
Yes, writing this post because I'm angry about it. it's their plugin. They can do as they please. But, as it is with the latest version, it's worth just 1 star.
Nobody likes their time wasted, sending STUPID message telling me my site is not indexed, I checked the
Discourage search engines from indexing this site
setting on Reading menu and it is FINE.
To out and out LIE to people just damages your reputation, you are NO LONGER TRUSTED, everything you say now is a lie.
Yoast sends out this message via the TRUSTED wordpress admin (WordPress should ban the plugin until this has ben removed)
Here is the message you should ignore (I replaced the site name with "your website":
"Yoast SEO has detected that your website can no longer be indexed. Please note that this will make it impossible for search engines like Google and Bing to index your site. Read more about this error on our knowledge base.
It is also dumb dumb dumb to send people to a page that will not load
The email includes this spam link
which resolves to
which says more lies
Your site isn't indexable
If Yoast SEO reports your site as not indexable by search engines, this can be caused by several reasons. At the same time, it's an issue of the highest priority, assuming that you want your site to be in Google's index.
Our best advice is to use the "Analyze entire site" button, create an account on OnPage.org and see what they have to tell you. It could be that you have a robots.txt file that's blocking indexation, it could be that your theme has some code in it that's blocking search engines, etc. etc. OnPage.org can tell you what the problem is and how to fix it!
Anyone that is prepared to build a marketing campaign on LIES is simply not trustworthy, it is also a breach of CanSpam and Data Protection Laws as this marketing message had no unsubscribe. If you report it as spam you could be reporting your own domain.
I am now looking for an alternative to Yoast and I urge WordPress.ORG to ban this plugin until it honors the use of Admin messaging for genuine admin purposes.
If Yoast had wanted to email me and say
"hey buddy, thanks for using our plugin, this is a one off message to invite you to join our marketing newsletter where you can get great tips on how to optimize your site"
Then fine, the law of reciprocity would have probably got me to sign up, but I do not like being misled and lied to.
Great plugin until this 3.0 re-incarnation. It really is a complete disaster on so many fronts. Thank goodness for WP Rollback to get me back to an operational version, quickly.
Why would you do this to the most beloved plug-in on WordPress. The back-end makes no sense anymore.
When I first updated I thought Google or Bing had some major changes to there algorithm (No). This is just a cynical attempt to get user details via a over priced service called OnPage.org which is next to useless, and is solely designed to fool less knowledgeable user into believing there have to sign-up to this, when there are much better services out there for FREE. you can not even turn it off.
I do not begrudge anyone for wanting to make as much money as possible, but this not is under handed on all levels, if I could a review lower than 1 Star it still would be a too higher score.
Just a quick question - where on earth has the Meta description field gone on posts? I can't find the ability to add the same kind of info anywhere.
Just updated to 3.0.1 and now my Yoast SEO is broken. The new look itself is fine but Focus Key Words will not save, the real time analysis never works, blue bar forever.
There is no longer any metedata box and the snippet editor does not auto populate your title.
To the author who is brilliant...please fix our favourite plugin. We can't disable all our plugins to try and see if this makes it work again.
After updating to 3.0.1, the media library is not working at all anymore !
I had to disable yast SEO to make wordpress usable again.
So wait before update !
Such a pity !
Please be warned when updating to 3.0. It seems I'm not the only one having issues. In my case, it caused heavy conflicts.
Tried to deactivate every single plugin except Yoast and still had issues, so the only thing left to think about was Yoast entering in conflict with my wordpress theme (LOL!). I wasn't able to add Ratings to my posts, add links, or many other things. This didn't happen with Yoast 2.3.5.
Also, the Yoast snippet box appeared totally empty and I wasn't able to edit any SEO or add any SEO to my posts. I was completely disabled.
So all I did was a rollback to version 2.3.5, and everything is working perfectly now. Don't update untill they come with a trustful solution. They should be warned by now that something isn't working.
P.S: Version 2.3.5 is pure gold :)

text: higher education Nixon Says He'll Propose 'Substantially' Larger Mo. Higher Ed. Budget Next Year By Marshall Griffin • Oct 21, 2013 Marshall Griffin/St. Louis Public Radio Missouri Governor Jay Nixon (D) says next year he's going to propose a Higher Education budget that's "substantially" higher that it's been in recent years. Nixon made that promise Monday to a group of Higher Education officials meeting in Jefferson City, though he won't say yet how high his proposed budget hike will be. He also suggested that his higher budget proposal could be rendered moot if this year's failed income tax cut legislation is revived next year. SLU searches for qualities needed in new president By Dale Singer • Oct 14, 2013 This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon: Even with a long list of qualities to live up to, and the strife that preceded the departure of the Rev. Lawrence Biondi, the presidency of Saint Louis University is a plum assignment that will draw dozens of applicants, a key figure in the search said Monday. House Interim Cmte. Wants Detailed Budgets Of Every State University In Missouri By Marshall Griffin • Sep 25, 2013 Marshall Griffin/St. Louis Public Radio Members of a Missouri House interim committee tasked with improving government efficiency complained Wednesday about not having access to the full budgets of any of the state's universities. The committee was examining the Department of Higher Education. Republican committee member Kathie Conway of St. Charles says the department's annual budget requests to the Governor's office do not contain line-by-line expense requests she says the committee needs to do its job. Commentary: Would more affordable college provide education or credentials? By R.W. Hafer • Sep 16, 2013 This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon: After reading the president's "Plan to Make College More Affordable" I couldn't help but recall the scene in the "Wizard of Oz" in which the Wizard awards the stalwart travelers symbols of their true characteristics. The Cowardly Lion receives a medal, for he truly was brave. The Tin Man a heart, for he truly was compassionate. And the Scarecrow gets a diploma because even though he actually was quite intelligent, he just didn't have the college degree to prove it. Educators Make Final Push Against Tax Cut Bill By Kate Essig & Chris McDaniel • Sep 9, 2013 (Chris McDaniel/St. Louis Public Radio) A group of educators criticized a tax cut bill today that could severely hinder schools in Missouri. They maintained that the bill, which Governor Jay Nixon vetoed in June, would cut revenue for the state by $800 million and result in reduced funding for education. The superintendents from the Northwest, Washington and Hazelwood School Districts argued that the bill would have detrimental effects on their districts. Hazelwood superintendent Grayling Tobias said the bill could cause budget cuts for equipment and extracurricular activities, larger class sizes and fewer teachers. St. Louis Regional Chamber Initiative Hopes To Translate Degrees Into Dollars By Mary Edwards, Alex Heuer & Don Marsh • May 1, 2013 j.o.h.n. walker | Flickr The St. Louis Regional Chamber is launching a collaborative initiative to increase the percentage of the area's workforce which has a bachelor's degree or higher. Thirty percent of adults in the St. Louis region have at least a bachelor's degree, ranking it 14th among the nation's metropolitan areas. That's just behind Los Angeles and ahead of Houston, according to U.S. Census estimates. Meanwhile, decades of slow population growth place St. Louis as the 19th most populated region. Mo. Lawmakers Want Performance To Play Role In Higher Ed. Funding While Nixon Reverses $8.5M In Cuts By Marshall Griffin, The Associated Press & Kelsey Proud • Feb 4, 2013 j.o.h.n. walker | Flickr Updated at 6:03 p.m. to include details on a House-Sen. joint committee's proposal to use performance-based criteria in a new Higher Ed. funding formula. A joint House-Senate panel is recommending performance play a role in how much money Missouri's colleges and universities get from the state each year. Panel members on Monday released a proposed Higher Education funding formula, which would include performance measurement in such things as student enrollment/retention, the number of research programs at an institution, and public service to the surrounding community or state. State Senator David Pearce (R, Warrensburg) chairs the Joint Committee on Education. Mo. Lawmakers Considering Performance-Based Funding For Universities, Community Colleges By Marshall Griffin • Dec 10, 2012 (St. Louis Public Radio) A group of Missouri lawmakers is considering an overhaul of how the state's colleges and universities are funded each year. A first draft of recommendations was released today, and it includes basing 10 percent of an institution's state funding on performance standards such as graduation rates for seniors and retention rates for freshmen and sophomores. State Senator David Pearce (R, Warrensburg) chairs the Joint House-Senate Committee on Education. Nixon announces 'Innovation Campus' grants By The Associated Press • Aug 1, 2012 (UPI/Bill Greenblatt) Will be updated. Missouri officials are awarding nine grants worth nearly $9 million to create so-called "Innovation Campuses" involving colleges and universities. The program pairs universities and colleges with businesses to train students for jobs in high-demand fields. It also is aimed at helping students earn their degrees faster and graduate with less debt. Mo. governor signs state budget, cuts higher education again By Marshall Griffin & The Associated Press • Jun 22, 2012 Governor Jay Nixon (D) has signed Missouri's $24 billion budget into law, but he also sliced $15 million from next year's spending plan. College credit could be easier to transfer under new Mo. law By The Associated Press • Jun 7, 2012 Adam Procter | flickr Missouri college students soon could find it a little easier to transfer credit hours among institutions. Gov. Jay Nixon signed legislation Thursday requiring public colleges and universities to formulate by July 2014 a core of 25 lower-level courses for which credit hours can be transferred among all public institutions. Morning headlines - Tuesday, May 29, 2012 By Rachel Lippmann, The Associated Press & Illinois Public Radio • May 29, 2012 (via Flickr/IndofunkSatish) Out-migration is costing St. Louis County money More people are moving out of St. Louis County than moving in – and they're taking money with them. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch cites Internal Revenue Service figures that show those who left the county between 2001 and 2010 earned on average $8,000 more than those who moved in. And about 52,000 more people left the county than moved in. Morning headlines - Friday, May 11, 2012 By Joseph Leahy, The Associated Press, Illinois Public Radio & WSIU • May 11, 2012 IndofunkSatish/via Flickr Judge approves settlement in lawsuit over mental health care for the deaf A federal judge has approved a settlement in a class action lawsuit brought against two Missouri state agencies on behalf of more than a thousand deaf residents. Plaintiffs in the 2010 lawsuit alleged that the state departments of Mental Health and Social Services failed to provide adequate mental health care for deaf persons in crisis. The departments were sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Mo. House passes budget, cuts blind aid By Marshall Griffin • Mar 22, 2012 (via Flickr/david_shane) The Missouri House has passed all 13 bills that make up the state's $24 billion budget for FY 2013. The process took longer than expected, because of the large number of Democrats who took issue with cutting funding to blind pensions and for not spending enough on K-12 schools. Sara Lampe (D, Springfield) urged fellow lawmakers to look for other ways to balance the budget besides cutting services. Mo. House endorses Budget By Marshall Griffin • Mar 21, 2012 Flickr/david_shane Missouri's state budget for next year has received first-round approval by the State House. As promised, Republican leaders defunded a program that aids blind Missourians and used the money to erase Governor Jay Nixon's proposed cuts to Higher Education. House Budget Chairman Ryan Silvey told the chamber he's no longer willing to cut money from Missouri's universities and community colleges: Cuts to public colleges reversed, aid for blind sharply trimmed in panel-approved spending plan By Marshall Griffin & The Associated Press • Mar 7, 2012 (UPI/Bill Greenblatt) Budget writers in the Missouri House have approved their version of the 13 bills that make up the state's budget for next year. Committee members eliminated $28 million for a program that aids the blind, but then put $6 million back into it from another source. Ryan Silvey (R, Kansas City) chairs the Budget Committee.

Rather than give us a one-dimensional baddie dragon which is merely a prop set up to be dispatched by the main characters, Hambly proceeds past this and reveals a depth to the black dragon that I have not yet seen duplicated in other fantasy stories involving such mythical creatures. Needless to say, the characters in this novel are very well developed, as well as the artful descriptions of the story's tapestry-so well described at times, we often feel we're really there. This is a talent Barbara brings to her works and is what distances herself from the usual sci fi / fantasy writer "me-too-izm."
Some may find her long winded descriptions tedious, claiming that she wastes valuable space at the beginning of this novel with filler, but I welcome it as building a solid foundation of character study and depth. If you pay attention, you'll no doubt increase your knowledge of medieval culture as well.
If you prefer traditional "sword & sorcery" type novels with mounds of action and little depth, pass this by. If, however, you prefer more to your fantasy than warriors, warlocks and mindless monsters, check out Dragonsbane.
Into this situation strides Gar, an aristocratic idealist who is as out of place in the royal seat as John is as a bloodthirsty warrior. He is looking for John, because Aversin is the only living Dragonsbane, that is, he killed a dragon several years ago that was threatening his people. Another dragon has appeared down south, and is threatening the capital. Gar persuades John and Jenny to go south to face the monster, in return for the garrsions to be sent north again and the Realm to take interest in the north once again. John, who'd rather study dragons than slay them, reluctantly agrees to go.
Here we start on a high adventure, which in typical Hambley fashion, quickly becomes a web of political intrigue, dark magics, and hidden intents. Gar turns out to be the royal heir to the throne, the king is enslaved to a witch of tremendous but mysterious power, and the confrontation with the dragon turns out to be more than anyone bargained for.Read more ›
The book is full of choices -- Jenny Waynest gives up mastery of magic in order to have a relationship with her lover and her sons -- and those choices are constantly called into question, both by the characters themselves and by the situations into which the characters are drawn. Jenny knows that her life could have been very different had she chosen to pursue her magic despite its severe demands; only the dragon is able to confront her when he sees clearly into her heart and mind and asks: "Do you cling to all the little joys because you are afraid of the great ones?"
Dragonsbane falters as most Hambly books do: the author is so enamoured of language that the well-drawn tapestry of scene and mood sometimes looks more like the over-busy, tassled throw rugs my Aunt Geneva used to embroider, applique, and give away to all the grandkids. Sometimes, a simple image does the trick.
But the great strength of the book is that it is not overwhelmed by the artifacts of the genre. The story is clearly about people, not about magic, and Hambly is able to use the artifacts to seduce us into a story where dragons love gold for its singing of their names.
Dragonsbane is the most accomplished, most polished, and most poignant of Hambly's work.
However, the tale is anything but high fantasy. The heroes of the story are presented as human beings, with human faults and human needs, and nothing is as simple as the legendary ballads would suggest. As much as anything else, the book deals with difficult choices, past and present, that define who the characters are and who they will become.
In particular, I found that I could truly empathize with Jenny, a woman torn between her love for her family and her love of learning. "To be a mage, you must be a mage" to the exclusion of all else, she was taught, and every moment spent on other interests meant that much less power, that much less knowledge that she would never attain. Her struggle (and failure) to truly satisfy both of those desires is one of the central issues of the book.
Because of this and many similarly deep examples, Dragonsbane is a book that I have read again and again. Its conclusion brings a tear to my eye every time. Unlike most fantasy these days, Dragonsbane contains characters that are truly well drawn and compelling in their humanity. Those who read fantasy only for adventure and who have no taste for any "good literature" may well be disappointed by a book that focuses more on people than on swords and sorcery. However, for more mature readers who want more from a story than a few fights and lightning bolts, Dragonsbane is one of the very best books in the genre.

This invention is directed towards non-aqueous electrolyte cells, with anodes of alkali metals, which have improved rate capacities.
Non-aqueous electrolyte cells containing anodes of alkali metals such as lithium, calcium, sodium and the like and high-energy cathodes of FeS, FeS2, CuO, CuS, Bi2 S3 and the like are often limited by conductivity within the cathode. To overcome this limitation, it is well known to add a conducting material such as carbon or graphite to the cathode. The addition of these materials, however, is known to contribute to an initially high open current voltage in many non-aqueous cells with alkali metal anodes and high energy cathodes. While such cells proceed to their lower operating voltage after time, the initial high voltage is unacceptable for many cell or battery applications which require a unipotential discharge.
A solution to this problem is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,163,829, which teaches that non-aqueous cells containing alkali metal anodes and high energy cathodes, which also contain graphite or carbon within the cathode to improve the conductivity thereof, will exhibit improved open circuit voltage characteristics if metallic zinc is used in conjunction with the cathode. The mere presence of zinc in electrical and ionic contact with the cathode is said to be sufficient for purposes of the improvement disclosed by the patent. It is postulated that the zinc which may be a discrete layer, a coating, a screen, a porous strip or a powder, acts as a metallic reducing agent to overcome the deleterious effect on OCV of oxygen present on the surface of the graphite or carbon. U.S. Pat. No. 4,163,829 discloses that of the several alkali metals which may be used as the anode material, lithium is preferred.
That patent also discloses that FeS is a preferred high energy cathode material, that 3-methyl-2-oxazolidone, propylene or ethylene carbonate, 1,2 dimethoxyethane and 1,3 dioxolane are the preferred electrolyte solvents and LiCF3 SO3 or LiClO4 are the preferred ionizing solutes. However, following the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 4,163,829 does not improve the rate capacity of the non-aqueous cells described therein.
Accordingly, it is a primary objective of this invention to provide a non-aqueous alkali anode cell having a high energy density cathode material intermixed with minor amounts of zinc and sulfur and an alkali metal anode which exhibits improved rate capacity.
Another primary objective of this invention is to provide a process for producing a non-aqueous, alkali anode cell having a powdered high density cathode material, in which the cathode, after being intermixed with minor amounts of zinc and sulfur is subjected to a differential heat treatment in a protective atmosphere, which exhibits improved rate capacity.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a lithium-organic electrolyte cell having an FeS cathode, intermixed with minor amounts of zinc and sulfur, which exhibits improved rate capacity.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a process for producing a lithium-organic electrolyte cell, having a cathode of FeS, produced from FeS powder which, after being intermixed with minor amounts of zinc and sulfur, is subjected to a differential heat treatment in a protective atmosphere, and exhibits improved rate capacity.
The invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte cell having an alkali metal anode and a solid cathode, said cathode, being comprised of an intermixed major amount of solid active cathode material, minor amount of zinc and sulfur, and possibly minor amount of other materials, is subjected, after pelletizing, to a diffusional heat treatment in a protective atmosphere. Cells of the invention exhibit an increased rate capability.
In accordance with the invention powder high energy cathode material is intermixed with powdered zinc and powdered sulfur in minor amounts, and then pelletized. The powdered zinc and powdered sulfur are present in the cathode in molar ratios ranging from approximately 1.5:1 to 1:1. The resulting pellets are given an interdiffusional heat treatment in a protective atmoshere. The particle sizes of the various powders should be in the range of about 5 to about 200 microns, preferably about 5 to 100 microns.
The interdiffusional heat treatment is performed at temperatures of 200� C. to about 300� C. from about 30 minutes to about 2 hours. The reactivities of the zinc, sulfur and the cathode materials at such elevated temperatures mandates that a protective atmosphere such as dry argon be employed during the interdiffusional heat treatment.
It should be recognized that as the particle size of the ingredients becomes finer, the time and temperature conditions necessary for the interdiffusion becomes less.
While the improvements determined in accordance with the invention are not fully understood, it is believed that the diffusional heat treatment produces an inert ZnS conductive material which intertwines the FeS particles, providing an improved rate capacity. While some rate capacity improvement may be seen upon the firing of certain high energy cathodes such as CuS, the improvement in rate capacity is more pronounced when the teachings of this invention are followed. This pronounced improvement most likely results from the electrochemically inactive matrix for the high energy discharge provided by the ZnS, whereas conductive matrices formed upon firing high energy cathodes outside of the scope of this invention are themselves electrochemically active and do not remain intact throughout the entire discharge of the cathode. If this explanation is correct, the invention should be applicable to combinations of known high energy cathode materials with or without activating materials, such as graphite and carbon.
The following examples illustrate the invention and give preferred embodiments of the invention.
A number of lithium-organic electrolyte cells was prepared using the cathode materials defined in Table 1. In each case, the organic electrolyte was 1.2M LiClO4 -50/50 v/o Propylene Carbonate/Dimethoxyethane. The cells were discharged through a 3000 ohm load to the endpoints shown in Table 1. Six cells were used for each test (except as noted).

The results show the invention provides greater capacity to higher endpoints.
A number of other cells and configurations was produced and discharged under load with the results shown in Table II. The connotation "Fired" denotes a heat treatment at 250� C. under argon gas. Cells from the present invention (Lot 515594) delivered the best capacity over all the discharge loads.
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that modification and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the invention and appended claims.

The Masterpiece of Puccini
Once Italy's 2nd largest city-state, elegant Lucca remains an important town on any itinerary in beautiful Tuscany. Its instantly recognizable historic center is completely surrounded by Renaissance-era walls which offer a leisurely "passeggiata."
Tree-lined bastions overlook the surrounding modern town, but their low height means that the best photo opportunities of medieval Lucca are from Torre Guinigi. This tower topped with trees overlooks the rooftops below and lush mountains beyond.
The bell tower of San Frediano is even taller and stands back from the elaborate gold mosaic adorning the church's façade. Equally interesting is Lucca Cathedral's façade, where every column is unique. The church of San Michele in Foro is on the site of the Roman forum, and the Domus Romana excavations are of a house from a similar era.
Roman amphitheater remains also form foundation stones of the medieval houses, cafés and shops of oval-shaped Piazza Anfiteatro. More sidewalk restaurants line Piazza Napoleone, Lucca's largest square, around the corner from San Giovanni church, home to a festival celebrating Puccini, the town's most famous son. Unsurprisingly, music is a big thing here, and summer and winter festivals showcase genres other than just opera.
Booking.com's range of Lucca accommodations includes apartments, B&Bs and 5-star hotels. Properties are available near the train station, and some include swimming pools and parking.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device.
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device. It is a client-server program that includes three components:
- A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.
- A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. The server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device.
- A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance.
adb can communicate with an Android device through USB (USB debugging must be enabled). When already established, this connection can be transferred to a wireless network using
adb tcpip command.
adb is included with Android SDK, or more specifically its
platform-tools package, which can be downloaded and installed separately from the SDK:
Make sure to update your
platform-tools at least to the version

Clinic reviews
4.8 Stars - 15-12-2015 - Otto Duncan
I cant express how good the vets have been with my Otto. He is 16 months old with renal failure and pancreatic problems. They have been treating him for 5 days now and showing no signs of improvement. The pain I feel is unbearable and it breaks my heart. The vets have been fantastic with Otto and us as owners, letting us ring as many times as possible and visit him daily for long periods of time. I cant imagine life without him and I no one day I have to make that decision. They have been very professional and listened to me at all times. I would definitely recommend Beach house vets and am truly grateful for everything they are doing. Thank you from the bottom for my heart x

I have nothing but praise for this practice,i have taken my older dog here for some time,and when i purchased my new long awaited german shepherd on 16th October,he wasnt due to go for his first vaccination until 19th,but hadnt ate anything for 12 hours,so i phoned up and explained,the lovely receptionist Hannah, said it was better to bring him in to get him checked over,a lovely vet Nick checked him over thoroughly,then got a second opinion,i was told he had a blockage,but at that precise moment they wasnt sure,and they wanted to keep him in,the following day he was transferred over to the Willows animal hospital in northwich,where prue saved my little Prince,he had a stone in his uretha,and when she operated on 21st,she found his intestines had telescoped,they kept me updated without fail,everything was explained so as i understood properly,it was through their tireless efforts my beloved little pup,has a second chance,what amazing people,i can not express my million thanks enough for all involved,you really don't know what a brilliant veterinary practice is until you have visited these guys,they are professional at all times,but friendly,and how i don't know with how hard and the long hours these amazing people put in,anyone who disagrees,should ask themselves how well would they do in their shoes,and maybe work one shift,and see how well they do,well done Beech House and The Willows,love you guys xx

The B&B is very homely (breezy backyard and pool area, lots of ventilation, friendly cats, and a pleasant owner). We had a T-mobile international data plan to use Google Maps to help us find our way, which I highly recommend. The B&B can be hard to find at first due to its remote location near Arikok National Park, just look for "48A SF" and note the ruddy color of the building in the photos when you're getting close. We were the only ones at the B&B over the 4 days that we were there, we had a nice time getting to know the owner and her sister. The backyard pool is nice after a long hike in nearby Arikok Nat'l Park. Because you'll probably have a car if you're staying here, you'll have the opportunity to see most of the island on your trip-- so take advantage of its central location and go all over. No need to stay in Noord and never experience the natural side of things in the national park or along the northern coast. Enjoy and Ingrid (the owner) will do her best, I'm certain, to accommodate you with whatever you need as well as any dietary restriction that you might have. My GF is vegan-esque and Ingrid built her menu around this fact, while I got all the meat, eggs, and cheese that I could want. I can't emphasize enough how good the breakfasts were. ...

Late in the day on Oct. 7, 1963, the first Learjet 23 took flight for the first time in Wichita, Kansas, just before the sun slipped below the prairie horizon. A local radio station reported that the Learjet was making its maiden flight, and people jumped in their cars to see the sight. The crowd cheered. Grown men cried.

I want to build a date widget for a form, which has a select list of months, days, years. since the list is different based on the month and year, i cant hard code it to 31 days. (e.g february has 28 days not 30 or 31 and some years even 29 days) How can I use the calendar or joda object to build me these lists.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I strongly recommend that you avoid the built-in date and time APIs in Java.
Instead, use Joda Time. This library is similar to the one which will (hopefully!) make it into Java 7, and is much more pleasant to use than the built-in API.
Now, is the basic problem that you want to know the number of days in a particular month?
EDIT: Here's the code (with a sample):
The Calendar object will tell you the number of days in the current month using
From that you can update your lists on each change.
There are a number of date picker implementations out there for java, which can be used via swing or a web ui. I would attempt to reuse one of these and avoid writing your own.

Hotel Peninsula was nice, but it was not a true 5 star hotel in the US. It was one of the nicest hotels in Beijing, but it was Beijing. Great Value for the money!
First, the hotel is dated and needed to refresh. Other than that, the hotel was nice. It will not wow you, but I received good service and special attention from the hotel management and concierge when I needed it.
The Peninsula is a good location near the Wafujing Street of Shopping. I got the wrong directions and went the opposite direction of the Forbidden City. Although I did not feel like I was in danger, the city and that area drops off pretty quickly. So be clear where you are going before you walk around.
Beware of local Chinese being extremely friendly and want to grab a coffee/beer with you to learn their engrish. It is a scam to get you spend money at a bar/restaurant. Also, many locals claim to be artists and sell you their art for high prices. Be careful.
If you know where you want to go, have the hotel concierge write the directions in Mandarin and hand that to the cab driver. Also, keep the hotels card with you so you can instruct the driver where to take you back.
Good hotel, good service, but not the Peninsula in Hong Kong or Los Angeles.
