OT but, My dog loves to eat fresh snow... he must like the sensation of the cold?
My big dog likes ice cubes. He thinks they're treats because they come out of the freezer! I also freeze his treats, sometimes, because he gets to chew more and he likes that.
Yes. Dogs like to chew on cold things. Toss your dog an ice cube from time to time.

Great American Eclipse to cross the U.S. from coast to coast on August 21, 2017By: miker on: Sun., June 25, 2017 07:31 PM EDT (936 Reads)
A total solar eclipse will take place in 2017 on Monday, August 21. The path of totality will cross the continental U.S. from west to east as indicated in the map in about 90 minutes. All of the continental U.S. will experience at least a partial eclipse. Totality will last a maximum of 2 min 40 sec at any one place. The effects in the ionosphere will be observed by the SuperDARN radars located at Christmas Valley (Oregon) and Hays (Kansas) running special modes. This effort is part of a comprehensive project funded by the NSF CEDAR program to study the eclipse that is being lead by Prof. Greg Earle (Virginia Tech).

I have been talking to this new guy for about a month and a half. Everything has been pretty decent so far and I do enjoy spending time with him. However, as of recently, he's been a little distant and acts a little more cooly. I'm sure it's nothing I did because everything was going fine, no arguments or disagreements. I'm just curious as to why he may be doing this and how to act towards him. Definitely dont want to be clingly or annoying if he needs his space so I'm just not sure what to do in this situation.
New guy I'm talking to acting distant all of a sudden.. not sure how to act. Need male opinionsss please!?

In some cases, Calvin remarks about how things haven't seemed to change, such as advanced technology or environmentalism.

As the market marches toward recovery, ING DIRECT's ShareBuilder 401(k) – an all-exchange traded fund (ETF) 401(k) plan provider – is feeling good about the year that just wrapped and the year that lies ahead.
"We had a great year last year and beat all our forecasted numbers," says Stuart Robertson, general manager and principal. "We're definitely seeing small businesses coming back. That's a good sign; they're feeling more and more financially stable."
The pickup in business has improved into the new year so far, as well.
"We think given the economic data, this year should be better than last."
One reason for the optimism could be that the provider recently added four low-cost Vanguard ETFs to its lineup as part of its regular review of the offerings.
"We're a registered investment advisor and we serve as the investment manager for all our plans, so we review the lineup with the investment policy on a regular basis," says Robertson.
ShareBuilder's Investment Committee reviews its offerings quarterly to see whether the funds are satisfying the investment policy's core objectives on diversification and low cost. If improvements can be made, then that's what happens.
Vanguard made the cut, at least in part, for its growing presence on the ETF scene.
"Vanguard has been a very strong player in ETFs. They're the third-ranked provider and growing faster than other ETF providers," at least in 2010, says Robertson.
But ShareBuilder 401(k) also considered the makeup of Vanguard's funds, their expense ratio, market cap, tracking error and whether a particular fund makes sense to be in the plan. Using that and other evaluative criteria, ShareBuilder 401(k) found four Vanguard funds with small bid-ask spreads and strong performance that would align well with the plan's objectives:
- Vanguard Total Bond Market (NYSEArca: BND)
- Vanguard REIT ETF (NYSEArca: VNQ)
- Vanguard MSCI Emerging Market (NYSEArca: VWO)
- Vanguard Europe Pacific (NYSEArca: VEA)
Adding in Vanguard's low-cost funds had another benefit for the plan: it lowered the average by a whopping 27%, from 0.26% to 0.19%. That's no small thing: small amounts add up over decades of investing.
Lower expenses might attract more assets to ETF providers that offer them, but the real beneficiary ultimately is the investor.
"It will be good for the industry," Robertson says. "Everyone will have to work harder to keep expenses low."
For full disclosure, Tom Lydon's clients own shares of VEA.

Night Vomitting
If your child is vomiting every night, you should seek medical attention. If it isn't as often, but still regular you should still talk to a pediatrician about it.
Around 9 months, Mason started vomiting at night on a semi-regular basis. Every few months (longest was 6 months, shortest was 2 weeks) he would wake up in the middle of the night and would start vomiting every hour. This would continue until mid-morning where he would make a full recovery and eat enough for a small army. Apart from the vomiting, he showed no symptoms of being ill. We charted his foods to check for allergies, and found nothing. I spoke with 3 pediatricians and they all brushed me off. The process continued for 3 YEARS (!!!!) with nobody believing me that it was happening. About a year ago, I took him in to a pediatrician for another cause and it was a different doctor than we normally see. I mentioned it to her and she finally gave us the referral to a gastrointestinal doctor. The gastro doctor informed us it could be a few different things, the most likely of which is cyclical vomiting - something most children grow out of around 5-6 years old. It could also be an issue with his intestines where they didn't fully form correctly and are twisting on themselves when they get backed up - and then everything has to empty out so they are able to untwist! At our most recent appointment with the gastro specialist, we were given some forms to take in to the hospital during Mason's next episode so they could run tests on the vomit to see if it was a problem with his intestine. Wouldn't you know that appointment was 7 months ago, and he hasn't had an episode since (knock on wood) so although I was told to hold onto the forms, the doctor told me it is/was most likely cyclical vomiting.

London: The International Cricket Council will debate the report by its anti- corruption unit next month, ICC president Malcolm Gray of Australia said on Wednesday. The report, authored by former London Metropolitan police chief Paul Condon and released on the ICC Website on Wednesday morning, says match-fixing was still rife in the sport. Gray said the report will be placed before the ICC's Executive Board at its meeting here on June 18. "This meeting will be a key moment in cricket's fight back against match-fixing, as members from around the world reaffirm their commitment to a corruption-free future," an ICC release quoted Gray as saying. "In deciding to make public these reports our aim is to make this process as transparent as possible. We want followers of the game to have no doubt that we are treating this issue with the utmost importance, and taking real steps to eradicate it," Gray said. "Until the Executive Board has met and reached its decisions, it would be premature and wrong of me to comment on the content and recommendations of these reports," he said. "But rest assured that the sole priority of the ICC is to protect the long-term health of the sport. No one should doubt our determination to achieve this aim," Gray added. The report was released only after it was read by the ICC's Code of Conduct Committee, led by Lord Hugh Griffiths of England and including former Australian captain Richie Benaud.

In this trim but comprehensive and engaging book, Barringer and Ireland (Entrepreneurship: Successfully Launching New Ventures) dispel the myths that prevent the typical American from starting a new business. The authors weave their academic research and business incubation fieldwork with stories from real life startups, refuting claims that entrepreneurship entails colossal risk, requires a great deal of money, demands extensive business experience or is dependent on the perfect product or service. This book is refreshingly pragmatic while still being encouraging; it addresses the obstacles at each stage of entrepreneurship, including overcoming psychological barriers to quitting a day job, identifying and developing the right idea, financing and running effective public relations and marketing campaigns on shoestring budgets. Simultaneously upbeat and instructive, this book offers the aspiring business owner a practical push toward taking the entrepreneurial plunge.

Creators of the World's Most Popular
"Bruce Barringer and Duane Ireland's new book, What's Stopping You? is an insightful and thought-provoking examination of nine common myths that discourage individuals from starting new businesses. … This book is much-needed and long overdue…. The value of What's Stopping You? is that it effectively debunks the false premises that too often preclude acts of business start up. What's Stopping You? is an encouraging, instructive, and eloquently written book that would be a valuable addition to any aspiring entrepreneur's bookshelf."
Jeffrey G. Covin , Samuel and Pauline Glaubinger Professor of Entrepreneurship, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana
"Over the years I have observed many seemingly great business opportunities never get off the ground. Quite often, what holds these aspiring entrepreneurs back are common misconceptions about the difficulties and risks of starting a new business. In What's Stopping You?, Professors Barringer and Ireland systematically break down the myths that hold many entrepreneurs back from pursuing their dreams."
Jeffrey R. Cornwall , The Jack C. Massey Chair in Entrepreneurship, Belmont University, Nashville, Tennessee
"Barringer and Ireland simultaneously demystify start-up misconceptions and empower readers to explore their own opportunity with renewed passion. Many prospective entrepreneurs feel trapped by myths, the authors carefully detail the myth's fallacies and encourage the reader to see beyond start-up stereotypes. Future and experienced entrepreneurs have much to learn from What's Stopping You?"
Sarah Schupp , Founder/CEO, University Parent Media, Boulder, Colorado
"Creating your own business from scratch can be a mental, emotional, and financial roller coaster ride. Bruce Barringer and Duane Ireland's book provides a 'voice of reason' and helps give you the confidence to realize you can do it. They recognize that starting a business is hard work, but that it is attainable–and that you should celebrate your accomplishments every step of the way."

Jot2Tweet APP Problem - UrgentAsked by thespanishfactory on November 29, 2013 at 04:24 PM
Hi team,
I am using the this app Jot2Tweet for one of my forms.
I just tried to make a modification in the tweet but I cant access to the APP. This keeps loading for a while and I need to make this change!
JotForm Support
Can you please retry it again. I have cleared your form's cache just to be sure.
I was not able to reproduce this issue when I tested on my end. I was able to reconnect to the Apps after already closing and saving the integration.
When I use the app http://apps.jotform.com/app/jot2tweet , it asked for reconnection and I just selected the form I used previously. Then, I was able to apply the changed I need.
Hi there, thank you for your reply.
It does not work. I cant get access to Academic Form 3.0 (33174660841959)
Integration found. Loading settings...
but nothing happens
Could you please just delete all the connection i have with this app?
I have tried with 2 computers and 3 browsers and it does not work.
Many thanks
JotForm Founder
I have informed our developer about the problem. We will look into it and get back to you.
Thanks for your patience.
Nice, Thank you for your help :)
I have tried with others forms and looks like to work fine. My problemis just with this one 33174660841959
Any Solution? I really need to make changes on it.
JotForm Support
The ticket is still opened but rest assured, our developer will investigate the issue as soon as he can and we'll let you know when it has been resolved.
Our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Well, i hope that this does not take 3 months as this one that it is still open http://www.jotform.com/answers/266735-Bug-Hidden-Fields-lag-on-JS-embed-forms#32
JotForm Support
We understand your concern. Our higher ups had already assigned a developer to handle the mentioned issue. I will not be able to provide you any time frame when it will be resolved, but I assure you that you will be inform immediately.
JotForm Support
I am the creator of this app, and I tried to recreate the problem you have described but to no avail. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache (and/or cookies)? If the answer is yes, and the problem still persisted, I believe the fastest solution to your problem would be to have the form's jot2tweet connection cleared, since you are going to change the template anyway.
Please let me know if you are amenable to this solution. I look forward to hearing your response.
Hi there, thank you for your reply.
It is not about the cache as I tried in 2 computers and 3 browsers. This only happens 33174660841959.
In order to try to fix it, i cloned the form and tried to configured again but the cloned from has the same problem.
JotForm Support
Got it. Bug was caused by fields that do not contain a label -- this is why we strongly advise against un-labeled fields.
Anyway, I went ahead and applied a fix. Can you please try again and let me know the results?
Great! Now is working again :)
Thank you so much for yoru time and help, I really apreciate :)
JotForm Support
You're very much welcome. Cheers!

This 9-night itinerary combines the beauty of the Coastal Ireland and Irish countryside with the rich history of both of Ireland's Capital Cities. Enjoy relaxed touring with two night stays in Derry, Galway, Dingle, Dublin, and one night stop in the Northern Ireland city of Belfast. Walk along the Antrim coast at the Giant's Causeway. Stop into Bushmills Distillery, and enjoy an evening of Irish song and dance at the Taylors Three Rock. Daily sightseeing includes Northern Ireland's capital of Belfast with the launch of the New Titanic Visitor Centre, the Antrim Coastline, the historic walled city of Derry, The Ulster American Folk Park, the rugged beauty of Connemara and vibrant streets of Galway City, The Spectacular Cliffs of Moher, the Dingle Peninsula, Dublin City and St Patrick's Cathedral.
Tonight you begin your journey as you board your transatlantic flight bound for the Emerald Isle. Enjoy dinner and a movie on board. You will awaken to your first glimpse of the island of Ireland as we glide in over Dublin Bay.
On arrival in Dublin our friendly Irish tour director will be there to greet you. After breakfast we head north to Belfast. Ulster is a land of Blue Mountains and forest parks, lazy lakes and windswept moors, white Atlantic sands, and inland sea. In fact, it's a province that is just pretending to be small. Distinctive field patterns, for instance, are especially striking, and so are ruined castles. Built from the 12th century onwards, and once symbols of both oppression and reassurance, they are now among Ulster's finest architectural treasures. Belfast was the engine-room that drove the whirring wheels of the industrial revolution in Ulster. The development of industries like linen, rope-making and shipbuilding doubled the size of the town every ten years. The world's largest dry dock is here and the shipyard's giant cranes tower over the port. Today the city celebrates the opening of the long awaited Titanic Visitor Experience. Here you can re-live the entire titanic story from its birthplace in Belfast to its fateful maiden voyage. Much of the city center is now pleasantly pedestrianised, with benches where you can sit and listen to the street musicians. This afternoon we take a panoramic Belfast Tour.
Overnight & Dinner - The Wellington Park Hotel Belfast
After breakfast this morning our drive takes us along the Antrim Coast. The marine drive north from Larne, and then west past the Giant's Causeway follows 60 miles of the most beautiful coast you could imagine. The lunar landscape of the Giant's Causeway, lurking below the gaunt sea wall where the land ends, must have struck wonder into the hearts of the ancient Irish. This mass of some 40,000 basalt columns descending from the headlands into the sea has been Northern Ireland's most popular attraction for at least 300 years. A visitor's center explains the causeway's geological and mythical origins. 'When the world was moulded and fashioned out of formless chaos, this must have been the bit over - a remnant of chaos.' – Thackeray.The village of Bushmills, just a few miles southwest of Giant's Causeway, is the site of the world's oldest legal whiskey distillery, established in 1608. Tours of the Old Bushmills Distillery detail the distilling process, with samples of its product and a gift shop. We arrive in Derry towards evening and we will have time to relax before we meet for dinner in our hotel. After dinner we will take a leisurely stroll around the walls of Derry.
Overnight & Dinner - The City Hotel Derry
This morning after breakfast enjoy a tour of Derry City. The story of Derry is a long and tumultuous one. Set on a hill on the banks of the Foyle estuary, strategically close to the open sea, it came under siege and attack for over a thousand years. The great 17th-century walls, about a mile round and 18 feet thick, withstood several sieges and even today are unbroken and complete, with old cannon still pointing their black noses over the ramparts. The great siege lasted for 105 days. Afterwards we travel to Omagh in Co Tyrone to visit The Ulster American Folk Park. The Ulster American Folk Park is a museum of emigration and folk life telling the story of the floods of emigrants who left these shores. Exhibits include "Emigrants" indoor museum. The outdoor site has 26 buildings mostly original Irish thatched and American log structures. Sail away to the new world on board the Brig Union life-sized emigrant sailing ship. Two complete streets on old and new world sites. Daily demonstrations include blacksmithing, spinning, printing and cookery with costumed guides in exhibit buildings. When we arrive back at the hotel, take time to relax until we meet again for dinner.
Overnight & Dinner - The City Hotel Derry
After breakfast we head southwest to Galway, traveling through the counties of Donegal, Sligo and Mayo. We stop to view the grave of ' William Buttler Yeats' in Drumcliff Churchyard, in the shadow of Ben Bulben Mountain. Yeats is one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature, founder of the Abbey Theatre and Ireland's first Nobel Prize winner. We continue on to Galway for a panoramic city tour. This Medieval City is a whirlwind of activity with pubs and restaurants, arts, crafts and culture, full to bursting with things to do and people to meet. We visit Galway Cathedral, see the Spanish Arch and Eyre Square where John F. Kennedy spoke to the people of Galway.
Overnight and Dinner - The Meyrick Hotel
Having enjoyed breakfast we will depart for today's tour. To quote Oscar Wilde, "Connemara is a savage beauty". From the rugged Twelve Bens mountain range in the north through lake-rich Roundstone Bog to the golden beaches reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean, you'll know you're in Connemara by the light that constantly changes the mood and tone of the landscape. Connemara has long been regarded as the real emerald of Ireland.We return to Galway City where you have time to browse the shops, especially the bustling pedestrianized Shop Street. We return to our hotel and relax until we meet for dinner.
Overnight & Dinner - The Meyrick Hotel
We depart Galway after breakfast and head south to Dingle and the "Kingdom of Kerry". En route we stop to view the magnificent Cliffs of Moher which rise 700 feet from the Atlantic and span nearly 5 miles long. We continue on to Killimer where we board the ferry for a short trip across the Shannon River to Tarbert. Continuing on through Tralee, arriving in Dingle in the afternoon. This market town and fishing port, has long been well supplied with pubs and restaurants that are the home to Irish traditional music and food.
Overnight & Dinner- The Dingle Benners Hotel
Today's touring begins after a scrumptious breakfast at your hotel. We begin with a scenic drive along the spectacular Dingle Peninsula with its unforgettable views of the Blasket Islands. We visit the Blasket Centre on the mainland which depicts life on these barren islands. The afternoon is yours to relax and enjoy the ambiance of the town or, if you prefer, you can join us on a visit to Aghadoe in Killarney where we enjoy a delightful view of the famed Lakes of Killarney and a lovely Irish coffee at Macken's of Ireland famous for their authentic Irish ware. Time is also be available to enjoy a visit to the busy market town of Killarney before returning to Dingle.
Overnight & Dinner - The Dingle Benners Hotel
After Breakfast we depart Dingle for Dublin. Our first stop is Adare, Ireland's answer to the cosy English village, where the Third Earl of Dunraven built a street with thatched cottages and hedges at the gates of his early Victorian Manor. History had already endowed the place with an exquisite backdrop to further please the eye - a Norman castle beside the River Maigue and the best collection of ruined mediaeval friaries in Ireland.We travel on to Limerick city on the River Shannon; this bustling modern city has a rich medieval past, which resounds around its ancient streets, made famous in later times by Frank McCourt's - "Angela's Ashes". We arrive in Dublin in the late afternoon.
Overnight & Dinner - The Camden Court Hotel
After a hearty Irish breakfast we depart on a tour of historic Dublin city. In addition to a panoramic tour featuring Dublin's beautiful Georgian squares and terraces and its main thoroughfares we visit St Patrick's Cathedral which houses the tomb of the famed Irish poet, Jonathan Swift.Another interesting visit is to Trinity College where you can view the ancient vellum manuscripts of the Book of Kells written in Latin circa 800 A.D. The afternoon is yours to relax and enjoy this friendly city with its abundance of fine stores and restaurants, and of course traditional Irish pubs where you can enjoy a fine pint of Guinness. This evening we take in a performance at Taylor's Three Rock. From start to finish, this dinner show is based on a living and real traditional Irish culture.
Overnight - The Camden Court Hotel
After your full Irish breakfast you leave for your return trip home. There will be ample time for shopping at the Duty Free Store before boarding your flights, taking with you fond memories of your holiday to the Island of Ireland.

American Express is a global payments company and one of the biggest names in business, worldwide.
It has one of the most visible brands and is mindful of the need to continuously adapt in order to connect with the changing priorities of its customers.
The history of American Express is a fascinating one. It was founded in 1850 as an express mail business in Albany, New York. At the time, it spotted a business opportunity to transport mail and packages safely to those parts of the Union beyond the reach of the US Mail. This spirit of enterprise has remained with the company throughout its history.
Throughout its 160-year history, the company has consistently evolved to seize new opportunities and adapt to changing consumer behaviour, while never losing sight of its core values of trust, integrity and quality.
American Express prides itself on anticipating and responding to changing consumer behaviour and spending habits. This understanding is at the heart of its new 'Realise The Potential' campaign. The timing of its launch could not be more relevant.
As the global economic recession forces people to reconsider their values and aspirations, American Express is focusing on what the brand can do to help customers realise their own potential and how to get more out of their American Express Cards.
The thinking behind the campaign is underpinned by extensive research and well-defined ideas. In order to fully understand consumer behaviour, American Express worked in collaboration with trend analysts, The Future Laboratory.
It carried out a comprehensive survey into changing consumer trends and from this information, identified a new group of consumers, dubbed 'potentialists'.
The research revealed that, rather than simply defining themselves by what they buy or own, potentialists increasingly define themselves by their skills and experiences.
For American Express, the findings were significant. Having recognised this new breed of customer, the challenge for the company is now in tailoring products and services to meet their changing needs.
The thinking at the heart of the 'Realise The Potential' campaign is to help customers get more from their cards by offering unique and enriching experiences.
For example, in collaboration with AEG Live it has given 400 card members the opportunity to meet musician Jeff Beck before one of his concerts.
It has also arranged for fashion lovers to go backstage during London Fashion Week
One venture that is proving successful is a partnership with the London-based School of Life, a social enterprise that offers programmes on everything from love to work and from family to politics.
These attract people wanting to accumulate new skills, knowledge and experiences and in just over a year, more than ten thousand people have registered for courses.
Together with The School of Life, American Express developed The Breakfast Club, where a lecturing philosopher from The School presents big ideas to groups of people, with the aim of offering insights and practical skills that can be applied to their everyday lives.
It's not only American Express customers who are recognised through the 'Realise The Potential' campaign but also the company's valued employees. Suzan Kereere Head of Customer Services Europe, explains: "We call our employees the everyday heroes".
She goes on to add, "Whether it's tracking down a lost wedding dress or helping a customer stranded in the middle of nowhere, we've taken all those stories of great heroism that happen everyday and featured it in our campaign".
Looking back over its 160 years, Amex has always been at the forefront of innovation, directly responding to the needs of its customers. The company's goal is to remove some of the stress from their everyday lives, to give them more time to focus on the things they want to do.

We needed just to stay overnight somewhere driving from Granada to Alicante and we did not expect too much. Only demand was to find it easily and location close to highway We were really surpirsed by the quality of the hotel, very good restaurant. We had very pleasant although very short stay there, definitely worth of money we paid. Everything excellent
Good value for money. The bacon baguette was good...yum yum and the satff were very accomodating. Limited evening menu
Modern and clean. Great value for money.
Available food in the evening limited and expensive. Bar & Cafeteria allows smoking including staff despite no smoking sign in foyer. Waited 20 minutes for bill after meal.

For a while now, I've been telling you about the benefits of networking. I fully believe there's a lot of truth to the old adage, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." While that might be a bit of an oversimplification, the fact is that knowing the right people (whether we're talking about reporters, colleagues, vendors…you name it) can help you grow and promote your business. I see evidence of this every single day.
But the fact remains that a lot of people still don't put time into networking. For one reason or another, they're resistant to it, despite the fact that networking is one of the most cost-effective ways you can build your business.
Based on my own interactions with others and the various comments I've read over the years, one of the most common reasons business owners don't put the time into networking that they should is that they don't believe it yields results quickly enough. Typically, the way it goes is the business owner halfheartedly gives networking a shot for a short period of time (whether by attending networking events, getting into social networking, or some other method) only to give up when they don't get immediate results. They then steadfastly claim that networking doesn't work and is a waste of time.
The problem is that they didn't have realistic expectations. Networking will rarely yield results overnight. It takes time. Remember what networking is – it's building relationships. Look at your personal life and think about the relationships you value most. How long did it take for you to build those relationships? Months? Years? It took a long time, but those relationships hold a lot of value to you, don't they?
The same applies to business networking. It takes a lot of time to build quality relationships. You have to earn the other person's trust and vice versa. You can't rush this. Even with social networking, it still takes time to build lasting business relationships. If you're expecting instant results, you're going to fail at networking every time.
On the other hand, if you can see the bigger picture and you have a long-term commitment to cultivating quality business relationships, there really is no limit to the things you can achieve with networking. Have a smart networking strategy, put in the time, and you'll see the benefits.

What Facilitates Return to Work? Patients Experiences 3 Years After Occupational Rehabilitation
- First Online:
- Citations
- 1.6k Downloads
Objective We have limited knowledge about the specific elements in an occupational rehabilitation programme that facilitate the process leading to return to work (RTW) as perceived by the patients. The aim of the study was to explore individual experiences regarding contributing factors to a successful RTW, 3 years after a resident occupational rehabilitation programme. Methods The study is based on interviews of 20 individuals who attended an occupational rehabilitation programme 3 years earlier. Ten informants had returned to work (RTW) and ten were receiving disability pension (DP). Data were analysed by systematic text condensation inspired by Giorgi's phenomenological analysis. Results The core categories describing a successful RTW process included positive encounters, increased self-understanding and support from the surroundings. While the informants on DP emphasized being seen, heard and taken seriously by the professionals, the RTW group highlighted being challenged to increase self-understanding that promoted new acting in every-day life. Being challenged on self-understanding implied increased awareness of own identity, values and resources. Support from the surroundings included support from peer participants, employer and social welfare system. Conclusion Successful RTW processes seem to comprise positive encounters, opportunities for increased self-understanding and support from significant others. An explicit focus on topics like identity, own values and resources might improve the outcome of the rehabilitation process.

The high number of people on long-term sick leave and disability benefits has increased the need for occupational rehabilitation during the last years. Investigations of return-to-work (RTW) processes after sick-listing and possible predictive and facilitating factors have led to increased knowledge in this area [1]. Prognostic factors for RTW, as well as maintaining factors for being on long-term sick leave, are complex and multidimensional. A number of socio-demographic, individual and environmental factors have been linked to increased RTW rate [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Clinical work and research has traditionally focused on treatment of disease and pain reduction. There has however been a shift from medically determined models, to increased focus on the importance of the individual, workplace, economic and social factors in the genesis of disability and RTW processes [6, 7, 8]. There is some evidence that early, multidisciplinary interventions combined with work-place interaction may be of importance [9, 10, 11, 12]. Despite this knowledge, the overall rates of work disability have not changed significantly, and a large number of patients will not return to work after they have completed the rehabilitation. Identifying specific elements of the rehabilitation programmes that may be of significant importance for the patients in their RTW efforts may be helpful in designing such programmes.
More than 50% of those absent from work are diagnosed with musculoskeletal or psychological problems [13]. A large proportion of the health problems that leads to long-term sick leave are often characterized by a high degree of co morbidity; i.e. anxiety and depression are often reported with different musculoskeletal problems [14, 15, 16]. Co morbidity impedes RTW and increase the risk of permanent disability [17, 18, 19]. Psychological distress and low self-estimated expectancy of RTW predicts a poor outcome [20, 21]. The causes of long-term sick leave are individual and complex, and involve biological, psychological and social factors [22]. These complex conditions often require multidisciplinary interventions for a successful RTW.
In Norway, occupational rehabilitation is established as out-patient or residence rehabilitation programmes. A residence programme will focus on individual and work-place related factors to enhance RTW. The interventions focus on diminishing the limitations identified during the assessment, building self-confidence and training in stress management. Cognitive approaches like awareness, coping strategies [23] and increased mindfulness [21, 24], as well as physical activities, are found to enhance RTW in individuals with musculoskeletal or psychological problems [25, 26]. Studies also show that brief interventions including a thorough medical examination, providing explanations of the patient's complaints and encouragement to stay active have been of importance for a successful RTW [27, 28].
Long-term disability is no longer seen simply as the consequence of an illness/impairment, but rather as the result of interactions between the worker, the health care system, work environment and the financial compensation systems [29]. MacEachen et al. [30] found that return to work extends beyond concerns about managing physical function to the complexities related to beliefs, roles, and perceptions of many stakeholders. RTW after long term sick leave can be viewed as a complex behavioural change which involves recovery of function, motivation, behaviour and interaction with several stakeholders [31].
Occupational rehabilitation is aiming to facilitate learning and changing processes and enhance awareness of own resources and possibilities that contributes to restoring or keeping work ability. However, we have limited knowledge about what specific elements the patients perceive as crucial in the RTW processes. The aim of our study was to explore individual experiences regarding important elements of the rehabilitation programme that might have contributed to a successful RTW 3 years after completing the programme. Such knowledge may contribute to increased quality of the occupational rehabilitation processes.
Materials and Methods
The study was based on qualitative interviews of 20 individuals who attended an occupational rehabilitation programme 3 years earlier. At inclusion, the patients were on long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal and/or psychological health complaints. They were all assessed as having a rehabilitation potential with a fair chance of being able to RTW before entering the programme. The occupational rehabilitation programme was a 4 weeks, 7 h a day group based programme led by an interdisciplinary team (physicians, nurses, physical activity instructors, physiotherapists and work-place counsellors). The participants were admitted in groups. The rehabilitation programme included different physical activities and individual and group based counselling aiming to increase function and work related processes.

The interviews were transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed by systematic text condensation inspired by Giorgi's phenomenological analysis through the following four stages: (a) reading all the material to obtain an overall impression; (b) identify units of meaning, representing different aspects of the participants' experiences regarding the rehabilitation programme; (c) condensing and summarising the contents of each of the individual meaning units and (d) summarising the contents of each meaning unit to generalise descriptions and concepts regarding their experiences [32, 33].
Ethical Considerations
The respondents were informed of the purpose of the interview, that participation was voluntary and that they were free to end the interview at any time. They gave their permission for the interview to be audio taped and were assured of confidentiality and that data would be securely stored. The ethical regional board approved the study.
The analysis showed that the participants did not distinguish between what was important regarding work and what was important regarding their family and life situation in general. They talked about their total life situation when they reported what had been of importance for the outcome of the rehabilitation. Both the participants who had returned to work and the participants on disability pension (DP) emphasized the totality of the rehabilitation programme. Contributing factors identified by all participants were; physical activity in groups, social activities, leisure time, and individual and group based counselling with the professional team members.
Further analysis, into what aspects of the stay at the rehabilitation clinic that contributed to return to work it became clear that the informants represented two different groups. These groups clearly split the informants into those who had successfully returned to work and those who had been granted DP after the rehabilitation. While disability pensioners emphasized to be seen, heard and taken seriously by the professionals, the informants who had returned to work regarded opportunities for increased self-understanding as important. All informants emphasised the importance of support from peer participants, family, employer or social welfare officers during the RTW process. The factors influencing a successful RTW process may be sorted under three core categories: positive encounters, increased self-understanding and support from the surroundings.
Positive Encounters
"…it is real (my complaints). I am not tired or lazy. It just feels good in a way to be believed in."
Increased Self-Understanding
The participants in the RTW group regarded the opportunity for increased self understanding as paramount and this was not mentioned by the DP group. Increased self-understanding implied increased awareness of own identity, values, resources and opportunity to act differently. They expressed the value of the programme as the balance between the opportunity to be physically active and being challenged on self-reflection. Testing their physical capacity in a safe environment with professional health care workers available was underlined as an important aspect to get to know oneself better. This enabled the participants to trust their own limits and to challenge their physical abilities. Many experienced that they managed more than they believed earlier and this gave them increased self-confidence that was transferable to their working life. To be provided enough time and concurrently being challenged on self-reflection implied that they spent time lingering with topics like identity, values and own resources.
"Who am I if I am not a teacher anymore…"
"I understood that it was possible, I did not have to be the person I am now (a patient) for the rest of my life."
Values: What is Important to Me
"I learned to give priority to what I wanted – what was of importance to me. I made a list of priorities - what I spent my time doing and what was important for me to do"
"I sat down to double check my goals in life. Is it necessary? Who am I doing it for? What do I accomplish? And what will be required of me to do it?"
"I had to learn about mechanisms in myself that promoted my burned-out situation. I was very proud; I pressed myself to achieve good results, very difficult for me not to succeed in everything I do. I had to understand this about myself. I now have a more relaxed attitude; I feel safer within myself… I have learned to know my body, to listen to it – so I don't work like a dog any more, I do not exploit myself ruthlessly"
Own Resources
"The fact that there are things that I can do and that focus should not be on what I can't do. Even if I wanted to I couldn't return to my job as an aircraft mechanic. So I could sit down and be depressed, or I could choose to focus on everything I actually can do. My focus has been on finding things I can do and not grieve over what I cannot do."
On the other side, the DP group participants expressed the view that their illness was outside their own control, and that they had to get well before even thinking of working. Irrespective of own behaviour and attitudes, the disability pensioners had a strong focus on diagnosis and illness and the need of a specific treatment to get well. They felt helpless; no matter what they did, the pain was still there, and the pain had to be relieved before even thinking of RTW. They regarded themselves more as passive pawns than in charge of their own situation.
Support from the Surroundings
All participants emphasised the importance of support from peer participants at the rehabilitation clinic, family, employer or social welfare officers during the RTW process.
Belonging to a Group
"I tried to look into myself seriously, and I was challenged by the others, especially by the other participants. So adding up the counselling (by the professionals) and the input from the other participants was a very good coaching situation for me."
Views on this differed as the DP group participants emphasized to a larger degree the social aspects of the group and the feeling of being in the same boat. Group membership also helped the participants to feel confident together with other people and dare talking about difficult aspects of life. Many had been isolated during their sick leave period and had experienced difficulties in talking to people or take initiative to be together. Coping with the social companionship in the group gave them increased confidence with regard to the social companionship at work.
Negative experiences with the group sessions also appeared. Some of the participants in the DP group experienced the counselling group meetings as too challenging and demanding, and they experienced the meetings as a personal defeat. For them it was difficult to be in a group with people that were motivated for RTW and therefore received support from the professional team. This reinforced negative feelings within themselves, and they felt like losers.
Support from the Employer
"I had a fantastic employer who paved the way for my return. He asked me if I could do this or that. They were fantastic at the workplace. They put so much effort in keeping me so I got a lot of confidence – when they take the chance I have to do my bit."
Discussion and Conclusions
Increased Self-Understanding
In this study, a central issue for a successful RTW process was increased self-understanding. The participants expressed that during the rehabilitation stay they had experienced a possibility for reconstruction of self. The participants who had re-entered work, emphasized the experience of increased awareness of own identity, values and resources as an important step towards work. They regarded themselves as competent and able to take control over own life situation and thereby control over the rehabilitation process. They focused on how they could manage everyday life despite pain rather than on pain relief and cause of illness. The rehabilitation programme helped them realize their own influence on the RTW processes. On the other hand, participants who had become disability pensioners externalised their problems and stated a view that the treatment outcome had been more dependent on external circumstances like the competence of the professional team or lack of support from employer. They focused on pain relief and expected passive treatment modalities to alleviate their pain, and getting well before returning to work.
Nygård [34] points out that a central issue when trying to understand our ways of handling the varied situations with which we are confronted, is how we interpret and construct ourselves i.e. what kind of understanding of self we bring to these situations. He emphasizes whether a person tends to construct himself or herself as an origin of behaviour—an agent—an inner-directed person or as a pawn—an outer-directed person who experience that there are someone or something outside who is in charge of control. Persons who for a long time have viewed themselves as pawns may find it challenging to change their role to a more agent—oriented person. Our findings are in accordance with Nygårds theories on agent-orientation [34]. Participants who had re-entered work after rehabilitation focused on how to live in accordance with own values and resources in spite of their pain and problems, they had control over own life situation, while the disability pensioners expressed that success after the rehabilitation was dependent on external factors like the team, the employer or pain relief. This creates a difference in the purpose for which treatment strategies are implemented. Explicit goal of pain reduction or improved pain management might be substituted by methods enhancing self understanding. This is in accordance with what Mc Cracken et al. [35] found in rehabilitation of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Rehabilitation and RTW processes are described as taking control over everyday life, or as a desire and capacity to take charge of their life situation [36, 37]. Fjellman-Wiklund et al. [38] describes rehabilitation as a process where the "getting to know myself" and "how can I be the one I want to be" are basic conditions for a successful RTW. This study indicates that the way I comprehend myself can be reconstructed, and this is important in developing new strategies to handle life situation and the RTW processes.
Our self understanding might be decisive for our health and how we cope with illness and challenges in everyday life. The question is whether the individual perceives himself as an agent (internalising) or as a pawn (externalising).
The shift from surrendering the authority about their pain to health professionals to search for and find both authority and answers in themselves is a major shift in understanding. The participants told that active participation and time had been necessary for understanding and feeling comfortable to make this shift. They needed to experience and be assured that they had the answers within themselves. Being told by others was not enough. This demonstrates the importance of experience oriented learning when entering a process in order to change beliefs, behaviour and attitudes.
The participants acknowledged the group as an arena for learning. The social setting was an arena for practising new behaviour and recognition of own thoughts and emotions. The experience of "being in the same boat" contributed to normalization of symptoms and pain. This is in accordance with other studies that have found that group support seems to strengthen the empowerment and enhance the reconstruction of identity by providing opportunities for self-evaluation and comparison [39, 40].
Positive Encounters
Several of the participants had previously experienced distrust from health personnel and this had led to reduced self-confidence, a feeling of hopelessness and loss of work ability. Stories were told about being stigmatised and not taken seriously by health personnel. The rehabilitation team had legitimated and acknowledged their pain and problems and their social status as a person on sick leave. The impact of positive interaction with professionals regarding RTW has been underscored in previous studies [41, 42]. Svensson et al. [42] found that when persons on sick leave were asked about factors that hindered or promoted RTW in general, they indicated positive and negative encounters with healthcare and social insurance professionals as decisive. Examples of positive experiences comprised being believed, taken seriously and considered to be in the right, feeling that the professionals listened, that they were supportive and/or encouraging, and showed personal involvement and confidence in the person's ability to work [42]. This is in line with our findings. However, in our study experiencing positive encounters without being challenged enough on own self-understanding and without enough support from significant others may seem to increase the risk of disability.
Support from Significant Others
The experience of change in self-understanding and a successful RTW as described by the participants occurred as a result of self-reflection that led to increased awareness of own identity, values and resources. This process was not linear, but individual and complex, and was also related to interactions with significant others (like peer participants, employer, social welfare office etc.). The participants emphasized the employers' belief in their capacity and resources and this facilitated the RTW process. Other studies also emphasize the importance of perceived social support in the RTW process [43, 44]. In this study the employers' capacity and will to reorganize the workplace for the employees seems to be important but not sufficient for a successful RTW.
Methodological Considerations
In this study we have back ground information of the participants' gender, age and work status. Knowledge about education and previous employment might have been beneficial in the interpretation of our results. Studies have shown that socio-economic status like education and income may be important predictors for RTW [16, 45]. The participants who succeeded in returning to work might have had a higher education and possibly also higher capability of increasing own self-understanding. Our study indicated furthermore that the participants who did not succeed in RTW had a higher focus on biomedical causes of their illness and experienced less control of their own situation. This may also be explained by the individual's level socio-economic status. The participants were asked about their experiences 3–4 years after their rehabilitation stay. The time factor may represent a recall bias in what was of most importance for their RTW process. The participants might also have had a recall bias remembering what could justify their own situation. None of the authors were involved in the rehabilitation of the participants, but LH presently holds a position at the rehabilitation center. The author's interest and knowledge in the field will however have influenced the questions and dialogue in the semi-structured interviews and the analysis.
Successful RTW processes seem to comprise positive encounters, an opportunity for increased self-understanding and support from the surroundings. Explicit focuses on topics like identity, values and own resources might improve the outcome of the rehabilitation process. Use of a group setting also seems to be of relevance. This study indicates that medical knowledge alone is not sufficient to help people to return to work. Health professionals working with these patients probably need specific education and training in educational methods to counsel patients to increased self-understanding.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Marleau scored a power-play goal 13:18 into overtime and the San Jose Sharks completed their first playoff sweep in franchise history, beating the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 Tuesday night.
Joe Pavelski scored his second power-play goal of the game to tie it with 4:27 left in regulation. Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks, who will now get a break before beginning the second round of the playoffs next week.
Mason Raymond, Alex Burrows and Alexander Edler scored for the Canucks, who were unable to hold onto a late third-period lead for the second time this series.
Cory Schneider made big stops early in the overtime, but gave up the rebound that led to Marleau's series-clinching goal.
With Daniel Sedin sent off for boarding Tommy Wingels, the Sharks came through with their third power-play goal of the night to win it. Joe Thornton's shot hit off Schneider and the puck was bouncing in the crease when Marleau just got his stick on it to score the winner, setting off a wild celebration at the Shark Tank and sending Vancouver to another early playoff exit.
The Canucks have lost 10 of their past 11 playoff games to raise major questions about the future of a franchise that made it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals just two years ago.
Vancouver lost the final two games of that series to Boston to miss out on the first title in franchise history. It fell in five games as the top seed in the Western Conference to eventual champion Los Angeles in the first round last year and was blitzed by the sixth-seeded Sharks this year.
The Canucks have scored just 18 goals in their past 11 postseason games and that futility could end up costing coach Alain Vigneault his job among other possible offseason changes.
Stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin did not score a goal all series and the Canucks were unable to stay out of the penalty box or hold late leads.

I am making Cherry-Chip cupcakes from scratch for a friends birthday request. I usually use a box mix and add and extra egg and a box a pudding mix to it to moisten my cakes/cupcakes up. Not sure if I can do the same for a recipe from scratch. I made them tonight and they were just a little bit dry. Do I start with just adding an extra egg? Then try the pudding if they still aren't moist enough?
(Yield: 1 dozen)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup syrup from maraschino cherries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-1/3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries
Vanilla Butter Cream (below)
Shaved chocolate
Stemmed maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a cup, combine milk, cherry syrup, and extracts.
In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and milk alternately, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries. Spoon into prepared muffin cups.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cupcakes are golden brown and center springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.

Hunters can immediately begin bringing wild ruminant meat products intended for their personal use into the United States, but will need a "Veterinary Services Special Permit for the Importation of Hunter-Harvested Wild Ruminant Meat," along with one of the following: a valid Canadian export certificate for game meat, or a copy of a valid hunting license or a valid hunting tag. The permit can be downloaded from www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/issues/bse/bse.html [2] or obtained by calling the APHIS National Center for Import and Export at (301) 734-3277.
Certain other previously banned ruminant meat products may be imported with a "United States Veterinary Permit for Importation and Transportation of Controlled Material." The application can be completed on line at www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/import_export.htm [3] or can be downloaded from www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie [4], or can be obtained by calling (301) 734-3277.
On May 20, 2003 Secretary Veneman temporarily halted imports of live ruminants and most ruminant products from Canada after a cow in Alberta was found to have Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Today's announcement comes after a close review of the international standards set by the International Office of Epizootics (OIE)—the standard-setting organization for animal health for 164 member nations; an exhaustive epidemiological investigation into the case by Canada, during which no other animals were found to be infected; and additional risk mitigation measures put in place by Canada in response to a review of their investigation by an independent expert panel.
