Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health is pleased to announce the launch of quellin™ (carprofen) soft chewable tablets to help alleviate the pain associated with canine osteoarthritis, one of the most common causes of chronic pain in dogs—affecting 20 percent of dogs older than one year of age.1 quellin™, the first FDA-approved, meat flavored, soft chew osteoarthritis pain therapy for dogs, is designed to be easily accepted by dogs and provide pet owners with an easier method of administering the drug at home—most dogs readily take it right out of their hands, so there is no need for additional delivery aids, like pill pouches.
quellin™ is the first soft chewable formulation of carprofen, the leading veterinarian-prescribed, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for dogs.2 Formulated using patented soft chew technology from Bayer, the active ingredient is evenly distributed throughout each chew, which is given in half-tablet increments—and each chew is scored to aid in accurate dosing. These features, combined with a savory meat flavor, contain no animal proteins, and help deliver the dose prescribed for each patient without the need for additional delivery aids like pill pouches.
"Bayer's introduction of quellin™ provides veterinarians with a precise, savory and easy-to-use therapy that helps treat the pain and inflammation of canine osteoarthritis," said Cristiano von Simson, DVM, MBA, director, Veterinary Services, Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health. "Administering hard tablets can be difficult for some dog owners. This soft and tasty chew is easy to give and may encourage at-home compliance with prescribed dosing regimens."
quellin™ is available in 25 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg soft chew tablets veterinary prescription only. quellin™ may be administered as 2 mg/lb of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb twice daily.

This is both the space that I live in and occupy, like my house, my bed and my immediate day to day surroundings, as well as all the things that immediately influence my outward appearance.
This has been the first step in exploring external space for me.
This experiment was pretty easy, but also pretty hard. It was easy to understand my own space, and what it means to be a living entity which takes up said space but also to understand how my space is also then an influence on the space I occupy. This is also true for how things and objects, that I occupy in terms of space, can have an impact on me and my personal space.
For example: I occupy my bed room - it is filled with things that take up space. I then have a claim to that space, as it is that of myself and thing that define me in the kind and manner of space that they take up.
I use make-up to change and alter my outward appearance, thereby using an element, that also occupy's space, to alter how I occupy my own space, by using it's space in my space to change it.
This is a video of such an experiment:
This then leads to my next experiment of my influence on other peoples personal and immediate space.
You can see the other experiments here and here or you can read about the entire Space Intervention here.

Imagine being able to look at customer traffic throughout your store and pinpoint how and why different areas and salespeople are most effective at closing sales. For marketing, which are your most important customer demographics? For operations, where are the inefficiencies and how can they be eliminated?
These are the possibilities available with iQmetrix partner Envysion's Video-Driven BI.
"Envysion's video-integrated exception reports enable us to make better decisions about our stores."
- Anita Denboske, Active Communications
Envysion's cloud-based platform complements iQmetrix's retail management solution with easy-to-use video that provides visual insight into RQ data. In addition to providing remote access to video surveillance from the store, this integration delivers video-driven business intelligence, including exception reports linked to video, so wireless retailers can pinpoint important events and immediately review the video footage to see how they happened.
"Our partnership with iQmetrix gives wireless retailers another layer of insight into daily store operations," says Carlos Perez, VP Product and Marketing at Envysion. "This allows retailers to better understand what is going on in their stores, accelerate decision making with confidence and drive profit increases."
"I do think we have increased profitability because we've been able to control costs as a result of the video."
- Kevin MacDonald, Wireless Express
For example, Envysion client Active Communications tracks and visually reviews key store performance metrics to identify where retraining or sales coaching is needed to increase store performance.
"Maybe an employee doesn't know how to cross sell accessories, but if you take the time to teach him, the impact on sales can be tremendous," says Perez.
"Having video in your store also means you can see if a new display is set up properly or which merchandise is attracting the most customers. Returns are a critical moment for customer service, but are also a high risk transaction for loss, so many of our customers have reports to make sure returns are issued properly."
The biggest change enabled by Envysion's video driven BI? Employee behavior.
"I think the most common thing is changing employee behavior," Perez says. "Your front-line employees are the most important part of sales conversion, increasing basket size and providing a great customer experience. By knowing where an employee needs sales coaching or additional training, our customers have been able to take their store performance to the next level.
"At the same time, they are able to determine those employees who are causing losses – whether intentionally or by innocent mistake – and take the appropriate corrective action to protect the store's profitability."

Testimonials from Envysion clients:
"Envysion's video-integrated exception reports enable us to make better decisions about our stores. We have been able to build certain exception reports aligned with sales metrics that we track per store. Using these reports, we were able to identify that one store was way under quota in a very important sales metric: the AT&T Hotspot data plan. Envysion allowed us to examine the staff sales processes, and we determined that retraining was needed in that location. Within a month of finding the issue using Envysion, the store was outperforming all of our other stores in offering AT&T Hotspot data plans, and remains atop the charts in performance and profitability."
- Anita Denboske, President, Active Communications

"We require stores to do night drops with a local bank. We check the amount of deposits being reported with what shows up at the bank, but the amounts may be different. Now we are able to log in and watch the store in question… Sometimes it's obvious the individual is trying to figure out why the totals are different. Sometimes they count the money but don't put enough effort into determining where the discrepancy came from. It's the same when some people forget to clock out. We can now look at the video and see if they're helping a customer [beyond regular store hours]. I do think we have increased profitability because we've been able to control costs as a result of the video."

Provided Rate Increases Along With The Currency Markets Seeking Alpha
http://www.livemint.com/Money/na4SheSDujYNVm370sXSDI/Opening-Bell-29-January--Global-equities-trip-on-upbeat-US.html I agree with some but not all of what he writes. Let's take it a chunk at a time. Investors, it doesn't matter when the Fed raises rates Are you obsessed with whether the Federal Reserve will begin to raise official interest rates in July, September or sometime next year? No. I've wanted them to do it for years now. So I'm obsessed with why the Fed refused to raise rates, despite a strong economy and inflation signals that were not nearly so http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/01/29/college-savings-plans-singletary-column/WSnh8qxboxEszuRSx6Q28N/story.html tilted toward the dis-inflationary end of the spectrum as they are now.

SES has announced the procurement of three new satellites, SES-14, SES-15 and SES-16/GovSat, all of which will be launched in 2017.
The three new satellites will be manufactured by Airbus Space and Defence, Boeing and Orbital AKT, respectively. The orders will take the number of satellites currently under procurement to seven, six of which are delivering incremental growth capacity.
The new spacecraft will support our growth and add significant high-power capacity to all four key strategic business verticals video, data, mobility and government, said Karim Michel Sabbagh, President and CEO of SES. These fleet investments all delivered within SESs forecast CapEx envelope enable us to differentiate our service offering in our target markets and set the foundation for continued growth. They will allow us to capture the significant potential of numerous vibrant regions and market segments, including Direct-to-Home (DTH) in Latin America, and mobility in the aeronautical and maritime sector throughout the Americas and the North Atlantic, as well as powerful end-to-end solutions for governments, defence and security.
SES-14 and SES-15 are both hybrid satellites, using Ku-, Ka- and in the case of SES-14 also C-band in wide-beam and high-throughput (HTS) technology and an electric propulsion system that significantly enhances the satellites economic efficiency thanks to the enhanced payload that can be carried as a result of the reduction in fuel mass.
SES-16/GovSat is a multi-mission satellite with high-powered and fully steerable beams for government missions. It will be owned and operated by LuxGovSat, a new joint venture between SES and the Luxembourg Government.

How many of you ladies had/are actually having a bachelorette party (of any kind)? For the ladies that had bridal party members who were underage, what did you do to make sure they were included?
How many of you ladies had/are actually having a bachelorette party (of any kind)? For the ladies that had bridal party members who were underage, what did you do to make sure they were included?
Not having one. I only have one attendant (MOH) and she's been going through some crazy stuff with her family and boyfriend so I'm not having one. And I'm totally ok with it. I'm staying at her place the night before the wedidng and we're going to watch movies and just chat. I know I won't be able to sleep so we're going to rent a few movies-chick flicks of course!
I'm having one the week before the wedding, but I don't know what we're doing. Honestly, I feel bad but I don't know that the underage bridal party members will be involved at all. One of my sisters is 16, one of my FI's is 18, and it'll be a school night (Thurs), they can't get in anywhere that we actually LIKE going out to, and they really don't mind. Obviously they would like to be able to attend, but they understand the situation and had just apparently assumed all along that it would be that way. Maybe if we decide to go out to dinner first they can make it into the city if our respective parents let them use the car, but who knows.
I'm assuming you have a few underage members. Talk to them and see hwo they feel about it?
I just had mine two weekends ago. It was so much fun to have all of the important ladies in my life together. Everyone was over 21, so drinking was involved. We had a BBQ, then BJ class (like Old School – was very funny), and finally the bar on Friday. Then Saturday we went to the beach, got ready, played sweet games* while pre-drinking, opened presents, and went to the bar (with my Fiance and his friends too).
* not corny games = my bridesmaid who organized the event had all 17 girls write their first impressions of me, favorite memories, funniest stories etc. she jumbled up the stories and i had to guess who wrote each story. if i got it right, they all had to drink. if i got it wrong, my turn to drink. i did well and we all ended up drunk. hehe.
Purdue: There was just a thread on ideas for underage bachelorette parties that you might want to check out.
I'm doing the traditional wild bachelorette with my sister and girlfriends, and then I think we're going to Six Flags with the young'uns :o)
I just had mine last weekend. We did dinner, drinks, casino and dancing. There were no underage party members so for what we did was OK.
We had tons of fun! This post reminds me that I need to update my blog with some pics.
I'm having one. It's actually more of an entire weekend thing. The plan is for all of the maids and groomsmen, along with us of course :p, to go to my parents' beach house. We'll spend the weekend all together, and probably go out separately one night. 🙂
LOVE this idea! This is what I would love to do
I had 2 parties. 2 different groups of friends each had one for me. I had a great time!
For us, we only have 2 attendants in our whole wedding party who are under 21, and those are FI's younger brother and sister. His dad and step-mom have already told us that they don't need to go to the bachelorette/bachelor party, so my Maid/Matron of Honor is able to plan mine without worrying about that.
However, I do want her to be more involved, so I'm planning to invite her to my Friends Only Bridal Shower as well as the family one. If she's able to come, I feel like it will be nice for her to get to hang out with my friends.
The topic 'Bachelorette Party Poll' is closed to new replies.

As Amy Quinton reports from Sacramento, a team of scientists is launching state-of-the-art equipment by land and sea to study the storms. Study Says California Drought Caused By Natural Climate Patterns By Amy Quinton - Capital Public Radio • Dec 9, 2014 CA Dept of Water Resources A new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says natural occurring climate patterns –not climate change- are the primary drivers of California's drought. The NOAA study says a high-pressure atmospheric ridge off the West Coast blocked important winter storms from California for three winters. Ocean surface temperature patterns made the ridge much more likely. The decreased precipitation is almost the opposite of what climate change models project.

How difficult is threading in VB.NET? Not difficult at all if you understand events. For some reason the Threading examples on the net seem a bit more convoluted than they need to be. Here's all you need to know.
First, put a few convenience methods into your long task, as represented by the loop counting down in the below class, LongTask, centered around creating and destroying threads. Note that you'll need to include a module-level ref to your thread (in this case, myThread; not sure why it's Public in my example; that's probably silly).
Public Class LongTask
Event allDone(ByVal strTemp As String)
Public myThread As System.Threading.Thread
Private lngUpperBound As Long = 10000
Public Sub startMeUp()
Me.myThread = _
New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf Me.countDown)
Me.lngUpperBound = 99999
End Sub
Public Sub countDown()
Dim i As Long
For i = Me.lngUpperBound To 1 Step -1
RaiseEvent allDone("Doneige")
End Sub
Public Sub killThread()
End Sub
End Class
Note how lngUpperBound is changed. This is one method [albeit sloppy] to pass vars to your thread. If you've used VB6 much, you're used to this backdoor passing, for better or for worse.
Because the Thread we created contains a method that raises an event, all we need to do is add an event handler in a parent object to capture when that event is raised -- in other words, add an event handler to listen to the thread's end and we're essentially done.
To do this in a simplest-case fashion, create a Form called Form1 and add three Buttons, Button1, Button2, and Button3. Then slap in this jive:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Public myTask As LongTask
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.myTask = New LongTask
AddHandler Me.myTask.allDone, AddressOf Me.showMsg
End Sub
Private Sub showMsg(ByVal strMsg As String)
MsgBox("Form1 message relay: " & strMsg)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If Me.BackColor.Equals(System.Drawing.Color.LightSkyBlue) Then
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGreen
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightSkyBlue
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
End Sub
End Class
The end. Button1 starts the thread, Button2 shows that you can perform operations as the thread runs, and Button3 is your cancel button.
So there you have it, how to add multhreading with a cancel button to your VB.NET application.

The Sermon Saga - Why I Fear Disillusionment with Obama
Let's get one thing clear up front - I am 100% behind the Democratic nominee for President, be it Clinton or Obama. I believe either will be an effective president, and can begin the process of rebuilding our country's standing domestically and internationally after the debacle of the past 7 3/4 years. I lean toward Clinton, but that is solely because of my opinion that she is the more likely to win the general election.
The past week demonstrates that Obama's support is like a cumulus cloud - impressive to see, but vaporous in nature.
It all started with reports about his pastor and "spiritual advisor" of his campaign spouting off with racially charged negativity more fitting on a joke blog than on a pulpit. Obama fumbled his first responses to the criticism, and it blossomed into a full-blown media event, complete with incendiary video and hand-wringing right-wingers shocked, simply shocked, that a black man could find something to criticize in this enlightened land.
It was all so stupid and manufactured. Republicans get in bed with people who claim God launched Katrina as a terrorist attack on us, and nobody raises an eyebrow. But if a loud, scary black preacher says something to provoke some thought and wake up the back pews, we have ourselves a genuine crisis.
But, sadly enough, it's working. For the first time in a month, Clinton has a statistically significant lead over Obama in national polls. Closer to home, the flap has caused Obama's margin of loss to McCain to mushroom from 6% to 14%.
The point is that when we are able to look at Obama as a fresh-faced, energetic symbol of our hopes and dreams for a new America, he's a winner. But when he turns out to be a real person with crazy friends and questionable decisions, his support dissipates rapidly. If people are supporting Obama because of an illusion that he will single-handedly transform us into a united, peace-loving, tolerant nation, I can assure you that the Republicans will supply us with plenty of DISillusion before November.
If a little videotape of a preacher caused an 8% swing in Obama's performance in Missouri, what will be left after Karl Rove gets finished with him?
And what will that do to the Democratic party's gains in Missouri?
Labels: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, polls, presidential race

she said.
then i asked her, "who is Jesus?" she said, "Jesus is God...i love Jesus and God."
this afternoon before naptime, she was in her room, sitting on this comfy green chair where she cuddles up to read her books. i overheard her reading and so i stood at her doorway and listened. and this is what she was reading, "in the be-ninning God made the earth. in the be-ninning God made the earth. in the be-ninning God made everything."
and as we cuddled up to read a book before her nap, we prayed. and i thanked God that He would bless me with these moments and these minutes and these days where i am given the privilege to pour His Word into my sweet one. when i'm able to rebuke her with love and correction and explain to her why we sit in our chair.
i never knew that a two year old could have a heart so hungry for God. but she does. the questions are natural and come often and the lady who keeps her during the day has all the time in the world to answer them. and i'm thankful to my husband for working his fingers to the bone so that our baby's keeper is her mama. i'm honored.
what a joy it is to go without a shower, to grocery shop greasy-haired, to sweep crumbs up, to wipe jelly-stained cheeks, to potty train, to wipe tears, to pick boogies, to laugh and dance and play dolls. i wouldn't trade a minute of this time for a day at the spa. not a minute.

i lived in the triad of NC for about 4 years after college. and in that time, God landed me the most incredible job a girl could have ever imagined. at least this girl. i wanted to work in advertising, and the Lord showed me great mercy by letting me work for an agency full of men. and three other women. being outnumbered by men is interesting, to say the least. the conversation is almost always music, bodily functions, sports and any kind of joke at the expense of yours truly. all in good fun.
moving back to wilmington was exactly what i was supposed to do. but it seemed so unfair to have to leave that job. i don't know how to tell you how much i loved it. or maybe it was more the people i loved. because each one is/was so unique. it was there that i saw what it looked like to be a husband, a dad, a spiritual leader... i remember thinking that if i could ever find a man who was the combination of the men i worked with, then he would be perfect.
bill was the class clown. literally. sometimes you wanted to have a whipping stick to pop his knuckles in order to reign him in during a creative meeting. creative doesn't begin to describe him but it was the only title they could stick him under: creative director. when i think of bill, this is what i think of: a musician, a flirt, a word nerd, distracted and focused, strong, a mama's boy, a wealth of useless information, an eyebrow raiser, the best hugger, always finding a common ground to make you feel comfortable, one of the boys, excessive coffee drinker, night owl, a definite kid at heart.
hello dahling.
that's how he greeted me most often. i wish you could hear his voice. it's just...bill.
i remember being so thankful that i could shout "BILL" to a man and not want to take his name in vain. because at the time i was working with him, i hadn't forgiven my dad and held his name in real contempt. but to say this bill's name was easy. he made bill fun. he made bill likeable. he gave bill hope.
but this Bill, he's dying. a few months after i moved, he was officially diagnosed with colon cancer that metasticized. he's fought hard. it's been nearly 5 years. but the doctors say that his time is near.
i'd be lying to you if i felt relief for him. i don't. my spirit groans for him.
something happens when you follow Jesus. your heart becomes stronger because you depend on Him more but your heart also does something you never saw coming. it grieves sin desperately and cries out in huge ways when you see someone losing heart. losing hope. and you get mad. because you see the enemy setting up camp.
so let me tell you this. this girl. bill's daughter. i'm not after the enemy. he's nothing compared to my God. but i'm after this bill. i'm covering him in prayer. i'm asking the Holy Spirit to combat against the enemy until bill's heart softens enough to reach out to the hand that is calling him.
the Holy One. the one we cry out to, Abba Father, is calling bill.
and i COVET your prayers.
this world doesn't need bill. it doesn't need me. but i refuse to give up so that hell gets him. he was created by the living God and i'm asking that you pray with me so that it is He who looks into bill's eyes and lovingly says "welcome home Son."
pray with me. please.
the thing that bill doesn't realize is that he WANTS Jesus. he's just hiding behind the same pride that's denied the Lord for 50+ years.
there is no one like the Lord God Almighty. he is HOLY. HOLY. HOLY.
he is Creator, Perfector, Finisher, Almighty, Everlasting, Ever-present, Healer, Savior, Father. and if the enemy thinks he has anything on that, he ought to stand back and watch the King of Kings take a hold of a heart that he thought he had wrapped in the bag. cause it's on! there's an army of warriors praying for a man named bill.
because we're desperate to send our friend off and finally call him brother.
oh to be present and see him bear hug Jesus.
pray with us, won't you?

today we went to the doctor - all four of us (i count the one in my womb as a whole being). and we heard our little one's heartbeat. woosh woosh. woosh woosh.
i didn't expect it to take my breath the way it did. and the tears that found their way into my eyes kind of surprised me. not that i'm not excited about this new baby. it's just that i've had less time to ponder over the new life inside of me, like i did with loralai. time is different now. what with the endless conversations that two year old offers, all the time we pretend cooking, reading books, playing outside, singing and dancing...time is just different. but when i pray, it's still the same.
i still ask the Lord to find favor with us and bless us with a healthy and hardy baby. i'm realizing more and more what a miracle life is. and having two lives to care for is even more amazing. God thinks that Todd and i should be parents to loralai and this new baby. that's just so sweet to me - especially because i think that loralai is one of God's sweeter creations ;)
today while at the doctor's office, loralai sweetened up one of the women on their staff. and that woman so generously gave loralai a 3 inch tall teddy bear that she had sitting on her desk. made miss nancy's (that's the woman) day and it definitely made loralai's day. she kept saying, "that lady gave me a little teddy bear." and then they gave her chocolate and sitckers. who knew.
later in the day, before nap time, loralai wouldn't eat lunch. not like her. and i asked her what was wrong; why was she crying. her response, "it's because i'm tired mommy." oh. simple enough.
so at naptime we took a little time out to pray and regroup. she was just out of sorts. and i asked her if she wanted to pray first. it never ceases to amaze me the the things that come out of her heart. she said this, "thank you God for mommy. amen. thank you God for daddy. amen. thank you God for the lady who gave me my teddy bear. amen." and that was enough. she laid her head on my chest and waited for me to read a book.
at two, she has a grateful heart. now to just keep fanning that fire and praise her for that sweetness. to see love overflow from your little one's heart makes you know, for certain, that God is doing a sweet work in her.
i can't wait to see how she prays for her baby brother/sister when they get here. i bet it will go something like "thank you God for our baby. please make it stop crying. amen." and i bet the dogs will concur.
today, sweet hugs from my one year old and a heart rejoicing to God for teddy bears.
tomorrow, happy birthday songs, chocolate chip pancakes and...who knows. it's going to be great!

did you hear? we're having a baby.
so it's true. we're pregnant. or i am, anyway ;) and just like my pregnancy with loralai, i'm nauseated more hours of the day than not. but i'm just praying that in the next few weeks all of that will pass. our due date is september 2nd. and that's a pretty sweet thing. for a long time i really wasn't a fan of septembers. the laundry list is long and it might be a little indulgent to list all of the woes out - but let's just say that a lot of loss happened in september from the time i was about 18 until 26. and so i dreaded september. especially my birthday that falls on the sixth. it wasn't until after i got married that i had a friend try to make sweet memories on my birthday, that i started to enjoy it again. that friend is my husband. and he always does his best to make my birthday a relaxing time. and while i know that being happy about some things is just a plain choice, i'd be lying to you if i said that the old memories didn't creep in on my birthday. so sometimes it's just a choice to rebuke the old memories and consciously live in the new ones happening.
when we found out the due date of our new little one, i was so happy. finally september isn't a month to think of all those old woes. God's given me a sweet new gift that was already mine but He so graciously reminded me when He gave me this baby. it's hope renewed. restored. and maybe our baby won't be born in september - maybe it will be an august baby. but for the next six months, our eyes are fixed on september 2nd. and that is a beautiful thing. to think about a time that used to bring pain and to envision the glory that will unfold surrounding it...i just smile.
and loralai. well i asked her one night what we should name the baby (and no i won't reveal the baby's name. you won't know that until it's safely in my arms.) and she said that Potato would be a good name. aaah. Potato. what a sweet name.
and speaking of loralai. she turns two this coming friday. it seems like yesterday that i was crushing a plastic bedpan while trying to pee lying on my back during the midst of an induction. 1. that's a story for another day (and yes it's hilarious) and 2. they should never tell a pregnant woman that she can't go pee for 8 hours. (seriously!) but anyway, my baby is a toddler. a talking sweet toddler. i would name the words she says but i can't count them. we carry on conversations like old friends. she just talks - a lot. and her heart is growing in sweet sweet new ways. we've been praying with her a lot. reading her the Psalms and telling her the stories about God's people. about the people that Jesus was friends with - the people that first spread the good news about salvation. and just when i think she isn't understanding, she'll open up one of her little books, point to jesus and say, "that's MY Jesus." and yes. yes it is.
at night loralai has been waking up a bit crying. it's a hard thing to discern, at this age, why she's crying. regardless, todd and i believe that our greatest protection against bad dreams, fear, anything, is the armor of God. though while loralai is still young, we know that her armor is the protection of the holy spirit - the spirit she has yet to accept. but God says that he protects the young - that it's under his wing that we find refuge - that he is ever present in our time of need (which is always. hello.). so we've been talking to loralai a lot about all of these things. and the other night, overly tired, while putting her to bed, todd says the same thing to her that we've been saying for a while. he tells her that mommy and daddy can't come in tonight if she wakes...and she fills in the blank where we normally continue by saying, "but Jesus can. He sings me the hmmm hmmm song." (which is jesus loves me, hummed). todd said it was all he could do to not cry. it was real. just as Jesus said that when we cry out to him, he will come, he does. his promises are good.
and in the quiet of night when our little one reaches out in fear. when she musters up the courage and faith to ask Jesus to help her go back to sleep, it is Him who comes to her and sings her a lullaby back to sleep. only i'm certain that he says, I love you. This I know. For I've always told you so. Little ones to Me, you belong, you are weak but I am strong....
can you imagine being sung a lullaby by the King of Kings?
i bet you that He's willing to sing a beautiful sweet melody into our hearts, if we'll just still ourselves long enough to muster up the courage and faith to receive Him.
Psalm 91:14-16
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
...and this is how we pray with loralai. not that it's a perfect equation. but just an idea of something to do if you're new to praying with your little one. we just plug her name in to where the Psalm is talking about God's people and how He loves them. and the fruit is great. covering your children in the Truth is a mighty shield that will protect them now and in the days and years to come.
"Because Loralai loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue her;
I will protect Loralai, for she acknowledges my name.
15 Loralai will call upon me, and I will answer her;
I will be with Loralai in trouble,
I will deliver Loralai and honor her.
16 With long life will I satisfy Loralai
and show her my salvation."

Johnny Cash's New Album; Newly Discovered Songs Comprise Album Coming In March
Johnny Cash fans: Circle March of 2014 on your calendar! Out Among The Stars - a collection of newly-discovered recordings that Cash made between 1981 and 1984 will hit record store shelves highlighting one of the most-anticipated catalog releases in the first half of the year.
The songs were discovered by John Carter Cash - the only son of Johnny and June Carter Cash while he was archiving his late father's collection.
By the early 1980's, Cash had fallen out of favor with music fans - and was eventually dropped by his long-time label Columbia by mid-decade. These songs had been recorded just prior to that business divorce, and have seen dust ever since.
Included on the collection are more duets that Cash did with his wife June and with former roommate Waylon Jennings.

Even in a religious community we face many personal choices each day: like whether to obey the rising bell and get up on time in the morning or try to sleep a little longer, which cereal to choose to eat for breakfast, what to tell someone seeking our advice. Such choices do more than just express who we are. They also help form our character. Are we decisive or reluctant? Are we impulsive or reflective? Do our choices strengthen generosity or reinforce selfishness? Occasionally we face a choice that is life-changing. And all of these big decisions are influenced by every little choice we've made along the way. They have helped form us into who we are.
It was the same for the ancient Israelites. At the end of his life, their leader Joshua called everyone together for a final exhortation. Born in the wilderness, these people had followed Joshua across the Jordan into the Promised Land. They had defeated one enemy after another by following his divinely-inspired battle tactics. What would happen to them after Joshua died?
Joshua made it simple, he said to them: choose this day whom you will serve, the true God or one of the many pagan gods of the surrounding peoples. Respecting their freedom to choose, he simply declared his own intentions: "As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15).
With one voice, the Israelites promised to serve the God who had done such mighty things for them. Sadly, the Scriptures reveal that this was not a wholehearted choice. Just as the Israelites had long practiced grumbling and complaining whenever things went wrong, they again turned away from God whenever a new problem or a new enemy threatened them.
And so, let us pay attention to all the little choices we face today, making them with hearts generous and open to God. By taking these little steps of faithfulness, we will find it much easier to make the bigger steps whenever we encounter them.

Got married with 1979 MB

Not solved...
1) First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for attention you pay to my problem. Before this I've visited ALL of the Russian MB sites/forums and no one EVER ANSWERED!
2) Secondly, I must say I'm sorry for my English. 3 years of school - that's all.
3) That's will not be a solve I THINK right now, because we tried all of things like that. Reading articles on K-Jet I not only looked for a solutions, but tried to understand all principles. Mixture is not the problem I think, because we even tried to add or remove (I have no dictionary near me and I don't know how it called...) thin and thick circles (0,1 mm and 0,7 mm) in primary pressure regulator (I think it is named so), which is located in fuel distributor.
Next. When it starts up, I must press accelerator so deep to keep it running...
BUT! We will try to follow your instructions and later (tomorrow I hope) I'll describe what happened.
4) I wrote down ALL of the numbers I can. But I left them in garage. :-( One thing I remembered - 116985 is the engine number.
5) More details came: when two "repairmens" :-) tried to solve the problem, they screwed out the control pressure regulator. And then they disapear. After a month of a chase they gave it back. BUT, Anatoli (that's my wife father's name) was surprised - there was MADE IN FRANCE stamped on it. It is BOSCH, but he didn't remember that string to be there...
All the rest including the number of pressure regulator I will post later tomorrow.
P.S. BTW, I have 5 photos of my engine. I've made them with Kodak Digital Camera for one person in Russian INet, who wanted to help. After he read all my letters and saw that pictures he never wanted to help no more...

Manchester United are going to be a busy side in the January transfer window if the latest round of transfer rumours are taken into consideration, with the English Premier League champions linked with a defender, winger, midfielder and forward.
David Moyes has not had the best of times after taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson, but has admitted he could look to strengthen United during the January window, after missing out on several key targets in the summer.
The rumour mill begins with Stephan Lichtsteiner, the Juventus fullback, who likes to grab a nice piece of his opponents' shirt during setpieces.
Lichtsteiner has been one of many consistent performers for Juventus over the last couple of seasons, and Moyes has reportedly been tempted to make a bid, according to reliable reports in Switzerland.
Money, as always is the problem with United only willing to pay £10 million for the 29-year-old Switzerland international, while Juve want £14 million. Surely a compromise can be reached.
Next up is PSG winger Lucas Moura, who was extremely close to signing for United in the summer of 2012, before eventually going all googly-eyed at the overtures from the French club.
However, after the arrival of Laurent Blanc as manager, Moura has not exactly been an automatic first choice on the wings, and Brazilian website R7 claim the winger could be ready for a move to the Premier League.
It remains to be seen if Moyes will show an interest, although with Antonio Valencia, Nani and Ashley Young as his main options, he would be advised to go headlong into the deal.
PSG paid a massive €45 million for the Brazilian international's services, though, and it's unlikely United will be ready to drop any kind of that amount for Lucas, especially after that initial snub a year or so ago.
Moyes is also showing a keen interest in Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke, already touted as the "next Xavi."
The 21-year-old, to be honest, is a serious talent, and has made a bright start to life in the La Liga this season.
Unfortunately for United, Barcelona are also interested in the midfielder, and could be ready to make a move as they look for a long-term replacement for the peerless Xavi.
Koke reportedly has a £16 million release clause inserted in his current contract, according to the Daily Star, and it remains to be seen which side make's the first move, if any.
To round up the transfer rumours, we have Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, who, according to El Mundo Deportivo, has been the subject of a €25 million opening offer from United.
Two Italian clubs, thought to be Juventus and Inter Milan, are also reportedly interested in the Chilean international, who was in stunning form in the World Cup qualifiers for his country, leading them to the finals in Brazil.

HTCC stands for High Torque Combustion Chamber (or High Turbulence?) In a nutshell the job was straight forward, heads off, cylinder off, pistons on, cylinder honing, gaskets on etc. The question was should i keep the Mik 42 or should I swap for the 45. See (http://harleytechtalk.net/htt/index.php?topic=3835.0). The 42 is snappier and more responsive below 2500, whereas the 45 is more sluggish off the starting line. Once past 2500 revs the bike is a daemon, it redlines across the board reaching its top speed of 220KPH in no time (Harley time relatively speaking). Am I happy with the 1000$ I have spent on those mods? You bet Blitzy feels like a Ducati, unfortunately does not brake like one :)…

A common interest in great music brought these two electric souls together. Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatick not only rule the Stockholm club scene– they scream, with nominations and awards in 2009 for DJs of the year and Best Club Hosts, a devout army of followers, and one of Sweden's most popular blogs. And now they are spreading their effervescent wings to the great dance venues of Scandinavia.
Both girls were born to be musical artists. Rebecca's father, Staffan, is one of Sweden's foremost classical pianists and Fiona's dad, Greg, the king of of Swedish 80′s synthpop.

- Amendments in government policies drive market growth
- Key vendors include Golden Apple Education, Noah Education, Oriental Baby, and Montessori School of Shanghai
Technavio predicts the global preschool or childcare market in China will grow at a CAGR of over 6% between 2016 and 2020. Much of this market's growth prospects is augmented by recent amendments to government policies. In 2015, the government amended the one-child policy by allowing couples in the country to have up to two children in an attempt to balance out the population development. The population growth along with the increase in disposable income in middle-class families in China is resulting in an increase in preschool enrolments.
"China is currently witnessing a rise in the implementation of childcare services at workplaces. Many organisations in the country are providing daycare centres with personal babysitters at the workplace. Companies collaborate with major leading vendors of childcare centres by implementing their curricula and training methods. Such services by companies are most likely to be adopted by employees as parents can get to meet their children at regular intervals and also reduce their commute time between childcare centres and workplaces," says Jhansi Mary, Lead Analyst, Education, Technavio Research.
There is increasing emphasis on collaborative learning among childcare service providers due to increasing competition among the players in the market. Many kindergartens and schools are trying to enhance children's skills by relying on interactive and individualized learning experiences driven by new technologies. Many institutions such as Oriental Baby, the Montessori School of Shanghai, and Etonkids Educational Group are also focusing on counseling parents by providing essential and useful information. Furthermore, they also provide necessary equipment such as educational games and teaching materials to be incorporated into a home's infrastructure so that the parents do not have to send their children to kindergartens or preschools.
The key vendors in the preschool or childcare market in China include Golden Apple Education, Noah Education, Oriental Baby, and Montessori School of Shanghai. The market is characterised by the presence of diversified international and regional players, and as all players are competing to gain a greater share of the industry, the market appears highly competitive. International preschool and child care service providers are gradually increasing their footprint in the market and regional vendors find it increasingly difficult to compete with them especially in terms of quality, ambience, and product pricing.
