Wearing his wide brim hat and big black sunglasses, Dana Forbes treks through weeds and over hills pointing out bones and fossils most people would assume are just rocks.
He has the look of a paleontologist, and with his keen eye and knowledge of the items he points out, one might assume this man has been digging for bones his entire life.
But he hasn't.
Two years ago Forbes purchased land 18 miles east of Dinosaur with intentions of planting an orchard and "homesteading" the property with his wife and five children.
Little did Forbes know that the 100-acre plot was littered with thousands of dinosaur bones.
"When I bought the land I had no idea this was out here," he said. "Then one day an old man stopped and asked me 'Do you want to make some money?'"
The man, who lived up the road from Forbes, took him for a walk on the property and at one point stopped and picked up a dinosaur vertebra.
The discovery sparked Forbes' interest, but the Rangely school teacher had no experience in digging bones, and had no idea how to go about uncovering the mysteries the land had to offer.
It began with a sign
Then on Dec. 20, 2000 (Forbes remembers the exact date), a few months after he and the elderly gentleman had taken their walk, Forbes was elk hunting on his land to no success.
He sat down to rest and mulled over his bone situation.
"I said 'Lord, you've got something out here but I'm blind and ignorant,'" he said. "Show me where it is."
At that moment he said he looked down at the ground next to him and spotted what he believed might be a dinosaur bone jutting out of the ground next to him.
Forbes walked back to the house and got his brother-in-law, and the two dug into the spot.
They uncovered a 5-foot-long femur bone.
That's when it all began.
"That was our first big find," he said. "From that point on the boys and I have been discovering a lot of things. Right now we're at a point where we're digging out one-quarter of an allosaurus skeleton."
The dinosaur business
Forbes now works full time excavating the bones located on his property and giving tours to people.
But he doesn't do it alone.
His wife and three sons Peter, Evan and Israel work with him digging on the property and hosting dig groups and educational tours.
The company the family runs is called Dinosaur Excavations.
It costs $3 for a basic tour and $60 to participate in an actual all-day dig.
"We felt this was something God put out here and we wanted people to know about it," Forbes said. "We want them to be able to appreciate the creations that are out here."
There are other digs available in Colorado, including Rabbit Valley near Grand Junction and Crow Canyon near Cortez.
But what makes Dinosaur Excavations unique is that although people are not allowed to bring home a big piece of a skeleton being excavated, they are allowed to take a smaller bone or two they dig up home with them.
"We try to make sure they leave with some bones," Forbes said.
A family affair
He said he's happy it is a business in which his whole family can participate. His whole family, that is, except for his 2-year-old twin daughters.
"I had been hoping and praying for something the whole family could get into," he said. "There's not a lot of lawns for the boys to mow out here."
He said his sons contribute considerably to the business.
"They boys will discover things and begin new sites," he said. "It's fun to see them involved in that way."
Dana's wife, Brenda, said she is happy to be involved.
"The part I like most is finding new bones," she said. "I'm learning as I go."
She said she is also happy the whole family is involved.
"We try to make it as much of a family business as possible," she said. "Our original intention was to have a family business doing organic farming, but this is how it worked out. We hope to make it a family thing where other families can come have a good time."
Israel, 11, said he enjoys the new family business, but doesn't plan on digging bones his entire life.
"I think I want to be a firefighter who fights wildfires someday," he said.
In the meantime, however, Israel must settle for teaching people how to spot a dinosaur bone like he did all day Wednesday when a group of students from Christian Heritage School in Steamboat Springs visited Dinosaur Excavations.
Sharing the wealth
The Forbes family showed students how to search for tiny dinosaur bones called "float" when searching for big bones.
Students had an opportunity to search for fossilized items and look at the bigger skeletons currently being excavated.
Monica Verploeg was one of several mothers who drove and accompanied the children on the trip.
She said she was impressed.
"I think it's amazing," she said. "It's interesting how hard it is to find that stuff. It makes you wonder how often you're out hiking and see these things without knowing it."
Jordan Bernard, a fourth grader, said he had never seen dinosaur bones except for in museums.
"I thought it was really fun," he said. "I learned a lot about dinosaur bones and how they get them out of the rock."
Forbes said although he teaches people what to look for in hunting bones, he is still learning.
"It's hard to find them unless you know what you're looking for," he said. "I try to pick up as much as I can from the excavators that come out."
Several professional excavators work with Forbes on his digs.
Once the bones are excavated, they are put in a cast and sent to Forbes' partner, Joe Taylor of the Mount Blanco Fossil museum in Crosbyton, Texas.
Taylor has been to Forbes' property to help him on his digs and has been a mentor for Forbes.
"I went to Texas last week to pick up some new techniques," Forbes said. "At some point we would like to have our own museum out here."
Forbes estimated that about a dozen skeletons have been discovered so far on the property and work is being done to excavate three of them right now.
Forbes said there is enough work to keep him busy on his 100 acres for quite a few years.
"It's mind boggling how many bones there are here," he said. "There's more bones here than there are people in Colorado."
Forbes said he doesn't plan on a career change anytime soon.
"This is what I enjoy doing," he said. "I enjoy educating people and giving them the excitement of discovering dinosaur bones."
Those interested in taking a tour or working an all-day excavation, they can call Forbes at 970-374-2706 or go to the Dinosaur Excavations Web site at:

Thank you again for your generous donation to the GlobalGiving Relief Fund for Haiti Earthquake. As always, we're committed to keeping you updated on how your donations have been used to help in the recovery effort for people in Haiti. In this report we will be highlighting two of the organizations that are working on the ground with your support.
Architecture for Humanity and their project is Earthquakes Don't Kill; Buildings Do: REBUILD HAITI. Architecture for Humanity has responded to the crisis in Haiti with Earthquakes Don't Kill; Buildings Do: REBUILD HAITI – a long term rebuilding plan that has designed, developed, and implemented community centers, schools and sustainable housing.
Recently, Architecture for Humanity begun its Education through the Arts program focused on civic arts. They believe that the rebuilding of Haiti is essential, but so is remembering its history. The cultural past and present of Haiti cannot be forgotten as the country builds for future generations. As a result, the REBUILD Haiti project has instituted the civic arts program. The civic arts program will engage schools to teach students about the impact civic art has on a community.
Volunteers for Interamerican Development Assistance (VIDA) has also been working on the ground to bring Medical Supplies for Hospitals in Haiti. Immediately following the devastating earthquake, VIDA took action to ensure that medical supplies were delivered to Haiti.
Recognizing the great need that has persisted the past two years, VIDA has not only sought to bring medical aid to Cayes Jacmel, but they have now expanded their reach. Gymboree made a generous donation of $100,000 in children's clothing to the city. Also, VIDA has sent over $50,000 in respiratory supplies. For every $1 collected, VIDA is able to send $150 in aid.
Architecture for Humanity and VIDA are continuing to assist Haiti with their rebuilding efforts through the people of Haiti. Connecting with people on the ground is essential because each community is unique and must be looked at individually. Both of these organizations have accomplished grassroots-level work.
Thank you for your generous donation to the GlobalGiving Relief Fund for Haiti Earthquake, which supports the people of Haiti and the work of GlobalGiving partner organizations like Architecture for Humanity and VIDA.

Stand-by Unit 10: Invevitably amongst us, icons rise up. Given any crowd, on any day, one individual will bubble up through the masses and become its reference point. Sports is not exempt. In fact, Sports is the leading producer of Icons on the Planet! Pound-for-pound, more HeeRoes are manufactured globally per season than one could shake a stick, bat or foot at. Here in the Center of the Universe, otherwise know as the MidWest, this phenomenom is no stranger. Hey, Chicago has 2 STAR pro baseball teams, 1 basketball, football, 2 hockey, 2 soccer, etc, etc, and a plethora of heavenly COLLEGE bodies – we're bound by law to have at least a handful of superstars – even in those lean years no-body is collecting them trophies! But THIS could be the Year as we March to the Arch and I am a fly-on-the-wall in these hallowed Halls of CouldbeFame. My job is not to get pictures of the action on the field/floor, but to find and record those people and happenings in the stands, bleachers, and bar stools that just could be the NEXt Defining Sports Moment… Like late last week, in a monstrously HUGE sportsbar out by O'Hare Airport, I found myself pulling cable to wire up a live position for the evening news. I picked a spot on a little cul-de-sac platform in the corner of the bar, under a DJ booth. On the weekends, this must've been the dance floor for those one-drop-over-the-line types who only dance after a hundred beers or so because, we all know REAL MEN don't Dance… Hence, this was a very small space. This did not stop the Manager from filling it with about 24 folks, all dressed in Orange (& blue) eating Orange Food (Buffalo Chicken Wings & BBQ) drinking Orange Beer (anything by Bud). A small wooden railing seperated us from the rest of the fan-filled-to-capacity bar, hundreds who were busy watching 4 huge screen sound-around TVs, fueling up for the SHow Down NCAA Playoff game between the Illini and the entire State of Wisconsin. The scantily clad waitresses (now, Hooters is half a Mile down the road and they've taught us Hooters IS Football!) wafted about in their shiny hose and mini-shorts, moving through the crowds like cigar smoke, finding their openings, taking the field. I followed their lead, and spirited my equipment and lights in to my covert position. And there I saw him! The One. The Ultimate. The Defining Moment/Man of the NCAA Playoffs: Mr. Blue Hands! Like hundreds of men before him, come rain, sleet or snow! he had taken up the mantle of Fandom and made the Sacrifice! In a darkened corner of the little dance platform, his girlfriend was busy smearing Bright Illini Orange Paint all over his ample naked torso. She had already finished the excruciatingly detailed Blue *I* on his bald head; the exagerrated Arches over his eyebrows – the Blue Lipstick was in place. He was Ready to become just what this Sporting Event needed to catapult it into the Championship Annals of Fame: One Brightly Painted Man… When he was done being adorned, he strolled over to introduce himself to me/my camera. A president could not have walked with more dignity and stature. I rose up to my full height and accepted his partially orange hand and shook it with relish, as the Mighty Blue Puppet Hands rested on the table near. Somehow, staring into his eyes, I knew he was going to be more in my immediate future than perhaps I was prepared to endure. Although my reporter swore later she had avoided it at all cost, Mr. Blue Hands was in line for a Live Pop during our shot, along with a femFan wearing Lucky ORange Shoes (cute!), and a Grandma wearing a blinking Illini billboard hat (cuter!). These folks stood waiting in the bowling alley of fate, ready to be picked off one-by-one by our producer's call and we began! Suddenly, all spoken sound was GONE! It and our measly position was overun by 40 shouting bodies – some with trumpets and drum, tuba and tamborine, pompom and pomp! The Illini CHeerleaders and Marching Band had Arrived, unannounced and full of loud mobile PEP! DIVE backwards LIVE on TV and catch the WAVE! Catch Mr. Blue Hands as he comes hurtling towards you; dodge the dodgy paint job and fight for your threads… ORANGE CRUSH!!!

Ouch! My eeeeeyes! Can't… look… away… ack! from picture of … ack! ack! … scary suburban painted man.
I was wondering if you would find yourself witnessing and recording the hype.
Go Illini! We get to wear Orange & Blue to work tomorrow and I will be cheering with the rest of the crazies on Saturday.
Sarah (U of I class of '91 and soon to be '05 as well)
Go ILLINI! It is fun to be cheering on a winning team in Chicago-land for once. I'm sorry it's not so fun for you!
Too funny, Bonne Marie! I live in Illini-land (that's Champaign/Urbana Illinois, for those of you who haven't been watching the mania), and have seen enough orange in the last month to satisfy my Vitamin C requirements for the nest year, at least.
That's not to say I'm not a fan, of course. I-L-L—-I-N-I !!!!!!!!
Wait…what???? You have a job outside your knitting? I am shocked, and equivalently more humbled at your amazing knitting prowess. *Bows Down* to photojournalist.
I'd love to hear more about this job….
Wow..if I didn't know any better, I'd have thought you were in Syracuse, NY, where Syracuse University's "The Orange" rules ALL year long (their mascot really is a guy dressed up in a big foam "Orange" suit)and the fans, in general(especially if they are at the Carrier Dome) are referred to as "The Orange Crush"!!!
I was there at the same bar near O'Hare that day, too! I thought I saw you :) GO ILLINI!
OUCH! 'Nuff said.

By JOE KAYAP Baseball Writer
CINCINNATI (AP) - Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier hit upper-deck homers off left-hander Francisco Liriano, and the Cincinnati Reds moved a season-high 15 games over .500 by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-1 on Monday night.
The Reds hit four solo homers in all, extending their best start since 1995, the last time they won a playoff series.
Cozart connected in the fourth and Frazier in the sixth off Liriano (5-3), who hadn't allowed a homer in his seven previous starts. He opened the season on the disabled list, recovering from a broken right arm last December.
Joey Votto and Jay Bruce connected in the eighth off Bryan Morris.
Mike Leake (7-3) extended the best stretch of his 4-year career, giving up six hits - including Russell Martin's RBI double - in seven innings.

I've 'lost' weight.
I've lost weight as a byproduct of what I have gained, the realization of my self worth
and wholeness...independent of all else.
I don't know what the future holds, I might lose weight or I might gain weight but to me it doesn't matter.
It's not about the weight for me, not three years ago, not now, and
not ever again.
I don't fit in a society's box.
I am a size 16, heavy weight and I'm healthy and fit. I could prove it, but I don't need to.
I am free and happy and have a relationship with my body I
will hold up proudly as an example for my children and for every woman the
will listen to me talk.
I enjoy my fitness practices...most days I can't wait to go to the gym, or trampoline or yoga mat.
I don't have cheat days or cheat meals....I eat what I want,
when I want to. The trick is, I want to eat food that makes me feel
physically well.
God made me.....and he made me good....so amazingly good just as I am.
FREEDOM became available in the moment that I chose it. I choose it NOW. and NOW. and NOW. Every single moment.
I love this big and beautiful body of mine, even with all
its stretched out skin. It serves me so
very, very well. It can do what I never
thought it could. It has took a beating, and come back again...so
loyal...so ready to respond in the moment that I listened.
I AM PLUS SIZE.....I am big and full of passion and hope for
a world where we are free to be all that we are. Where our relationships with our bodies are
joyous and full of wonder and constant growth towards our possibilities. A world where true health, in mind and body
are role modeled for our kids, so that one day a generation will forget
"not being good enough" ever happened.

The 2015 Lexus RC F is here to put some fear into you, both with its potent V8 engine and that terrifying spindle grille. Our pals at Road & Track just dropped the first photos and initial details of Lexus' new M-fighting coupe, and unlike Lexi of the past, it comes with some visuals that won't put you to sleep. It's a very butched-up version of the new 2015 Lexus RC, complete with boxed out fender flares, stacked quad exhaust pipes, and a much more aggressive front end. So it's got some show. But can it go? R&T says yes, thanks to a 5.0-liter V8 that's likely a reworked version of the motor in the old Lexus IS-F now retuned to sport about 500 horsepower, although we've also heard 460 horsepower is the real number. Exact specs haven't been released yet. Power will be sent to the rear wheels via the very good 8-speed paddle shift automatic transmission. Expect to see much more of the RC F at the Detroit Auto Show next week. Update: Here's a video preview from AutoGuide.Reply290 repliesLeave a reply

Top 10 Strangest Things Surgically Removed from the Human Body
5. 42 Needles
Photo: David Toase/Photodisc/Getty Images
Treating your infant child like a human voodoo doll is no way to win a Parent of the Year award. But that didn't stop one Brazilian man.
A two-year-old Brazilian boy was rushed to a hospital in December 2009 after doctors discovered 42 rusty metal sewing needles in his tiny body. X-rays showed the needles throughout his body, with several dangerously close to his heart and lungs.
Police suspect the needles were placed into the boy's body as part of a strange religious act. The boy's stepfather and two other women have been arrested after confessing to using the child as a human pin cushion. Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, a 30-year-old bricklayer, said he pushed the "blessed" needles in the boy while in a trance at the request of his lover. Ahh, the things we'll do for love. The boy's mother believes her son was the victim of "black magic." She's probably right.
4. Concrete
Photo: Andy Sotiriou/Photodisc/Getty Images
It's safe to assume that if it exists, someone in the world has tried to put it up their bottom. Yep, as a society we are getting freakier and freakier. In this case a 20-year-old male turned up to the ER with his colon chock full of hardened concrete. It seems someone was dabbling in a little klismaphilia, which is the technical term for getting sexually aroused by an enema. Isn't it great that we as a society have a term for that?
According to the case report published in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, the 20-year-old male arrived at the emergency room complaining of rectal pain. He played coy and it was only after further questioning that he came clean and admitted that someone poured concrete into his anus.
The report states, "The patient said that approximately 4 hrs earlier he and his boyfriend had been 'fooling around.' After stirring a batch of concrete mix, the patient laid on his back with his feet against the wall at a 45-degree angle while his boyfriend poured the mixture through a funnel into his rectum. After the concrete mass hardened, it became so painful that he sought medical care."
The piece of concrete was removed under general anesthesia and the hospital was left with a perfect concrete cast of the rectum. If that wasn't enough, an x-ray of the cast also revealed it contained a ping-pong ball.
3. Hairball
An 18-year-old girl literally found herself in a hairy situation when she went to the hospital suffering from abdominal pain. According to the New England Journal of Medicine the woman had been suffering from a sore tummy for five months and had dropped 40 pounds. Sounds like a revolutionary diet. Well, it turns out she had an extremely strange one.
An x-ray revealed a mass taking up the woman's entire stomach. That mass was a gigantic hair ball. The woman later revealed she had a gross habit of eating her own hair, a condition known as trichopagia. She underwent surgery and doctors removed a massive, 10-pound hair ball. Maybe the woman thought she was a cat.
2. Unexploded Bomb

A U.S. soldier is lucky to be alive after an ambush in Afghanistan left him with a rocket-launched grenade stuck in his abdomen. The grenade somehow magically managed not to detonate. It if did, it would have killed everyone in a 30-foot radius.
Private Channing Moss was on patrol in Paktika Province when he was ambushed by the Taliban. A hail of RPG descended upon Moss' convoy, killing two and leaving Moss with live ammunition the size of a baseball bat in his gut. On being hit Moss said, "I smelled something smoking and I looked down... and I was smoking," The soldier was evacuated by helicopter to a medical facility where the live grenade was removed by a nervous medical team. It was later detonated at a nearby bunker. Moss later received the Purple Heart and the Medal of Valor for his bravery.
1. Unborn Twin

Sanju Bhagat was always self-conscious about his large belly. He was often teased that he looked pregnant. Well, it turns out he kind of was. While not technically pregnant, Bhagat had unknowingly carried his twin brother inside his stomach for 36 years.
Doctors made the ghastly discovery after Bhagat was rushed to hospital suffering from breathing difficulties. Doctors at first thought Bhagat had a large tumor and proceeded to remove it. They cut into his stomach and instead of finding a tumor; they found a half-formed creature with feet, hands, and long fingernails. Dr. Ajay Mehta of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai recalls, "To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside. It was a bit shocking for me. We were horrified. We were confused and amazed." Um, who wouldn't be?
It turns out Bhagat had a strange, extremely rare medical condition known as fetus in fetu for which there are only about 90 recorded cases in medical literature. The condition happens early in a twin pregnancy when one fetus wraps around and encases the other. The enveloped twin feeds off the larger twin like a parasite. Usually both twins die before birth, however in Bhagat's case he survived. Bhagat was so embarrassed and disgusted that he had another creature living inside him he refused to ever meet his so-called twin.

While Reginald Fessenden worked for the U.S. Weather Bureau in the early 1900s, he was determined to advance radio principles to the point where a network of coastal radio stations could transmit weather information over long distances. Studiously working for his $3,000 a year, Fessenden invented a principle of combining two radio signals to form a reduced composite of the signals in the audible spectrum—a process known as "heterodyning." Building on Fessenden's work, Edwin Armstrong later developed the first super-heterodyne receiver.
Modern mixers have moved far beyond this heritage to multiply or divide RF signals well into the millimeter-wave range. Yet the advanced behavior of these mixers requires increasing complexity in an industry that demands never-ending performance enhancements.
Mixers are used throughout the RF industry wherever significant frequency translation is needed. Using the dynamics of a nonlinear node and clever circuitry, which forces some linear behavior from the mixing device, two input signals can be multiplied or divided (Fig. 1). Diodes, Schottky diodes, bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), or field-effect transistors (FETs) can be used as nonlinear elements.
Creating an upconverted or downconverted output signal requires the use of a local-oscillator (LO) input signal, intermediate-frequency (IF) input/output signal, and an RF input/output signal. The most common mixers use the switching action of the LO to drive a nonlinear junction in and out of conduction, thereby clipping the RF signal. As no device is ideal, several unwanted frequency products are generated by the mixing action. One figure of merit for mixers reveals how well these products are suppressed. Other figures of merit include spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), noise figure (NF), input third-order intercept point (IIP3), the 1-dB compression point, conversion gain, and isolation (Fig. 2).
Among the various types of mixers, there are two main categories: passive and active mixers. Passive, or current-commutating, mixers generally have higher 1-dB compression points, a lower NF, and a higher IIP3. Active mixers tend to have much lower power consumption and even a potential increase in conversion gain—although they trade off lower power for lower linearity. Both passive and active mixers can be divided into several classes: single-device, single-balanced, double-balanced, and triple-balanced (double-double-balanced mixer).

This is too much. I'm sick of this deluded, vapid view. Defense is an aptitude just like offense. Players have defensive skills to some degree or another. The Raptors players mostly have none. No amount of coaching schemes can make up for that. Players like Alvin Robertson and Ronnie Brewer didn't need to be coached to play great defense because they are great defensive players -- on any team.
And it's not about effort. All players expend effort. If Bargnani tried harder he'd likely just play even worse defense. He has no aptitude at all for defense. If a person who is not a brain surgeon tried really hard to perform brain surgery, he'd cause more problems than if he left well enough alone. If Bargnani expended more effort on defense, he'd overcommit to the wrong spot, leave his man too quickly or something like that. Great defenders effortlessly wreck offensive game plans. Just by standing in a certain place and holding their ground.
The only thing that will fix this team's defensive woes is new players.

Premiere 6.0 (BOO YEAH!)
Virtualdub (I bow to logoaway)
Approximately 25 hours (After Revision). More time was spent on the revision if anything and I hope it shows. I was planned for it this time... ^_^
As in, wrote out all of the steps/footage/fx used before starting. It would have been shorter if my cpu wasn't so buggy. I had to export 8 times to get the exact FRAMES I edited. Believe me when your Premiere timeline says there's no subs in a transition, and suddenly a frame in 30 pops up saying, "No", one can be angry...
I've ducked/danced/dodged around all the scenes/frames with subs, I hope that counts toward effort. argh, I wish some subbers wouldn't write so much stuff. btw, I know I'll get ripped a new one for using digisubs, but since Inu Yasha isn't licensed and isn't domestically released (YET...) I've got a weak defense in that regard. ^_^
How does that work? Remember, this is a Rumiko Takahashi series we're talking about.
This vid was almost renamed to "Kagome vs. Kikyo" but I smacked that title down faster than my friend could suggest. As far as character analysis goes, pay attention to the beat of the lead guitar and the lyrics in sequence. The strobes appear for a reason to compare and contrast Kagome and Kikyo. Some people who haven't seen the series may think all of the long dark-haired girls in this vid are Kagome. That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do; using various poses of both Kikyo and Kagome armed with longbow and arrow.
What's Inu Yasha's problem? Technically, they're the same soul! (AHH SPOILER WARNINGS)
This vid has a few spoilers, but nothing I'd call story wrecking. The ending came out differently than expected and I'm beginning to understand the meaning of action sync vs. lyric TO action sync. This adds new depth to a vid when lyrics either do the opposite of action or a deeper meaning is meant to be found.
Using the motion effect, (which now I know how to utilize the "breathing" effect in Ermac's "Closer" vid {this effect is NOT in my vid though}) I've created a somewhat, "dancing" image vid. Take note of the sync and also, NO SUBS! EVERY SCENE I PICKED HAS PRACTICALLY NO SUBS! ALL OF WHICH WERE EDITED OUT TO THE FRAME!
Some of you may take note that I DID pay attention to the subtitle removal guides. ^_^ Tanks to those who made them!
Without further ado, CHECK OUT THE VID!
And please leave an opinion. Tanks a lot! ^_^
Side note: I'm 100% certain Inu Yasha fans will like this one. From what I've seen, a few fans say my 1st vid, "Shadows of a Dog Demon" was decent. After making this and looking back, can you tell what I thought about MY 1st Vid? (*_~)
UPDATE ---> New ending and "cleaner" use of motion fx...
If you liked the wyld use of the "spinning motion" and don't mind the ending, don't get this update. I've setup some "flash memory" sequence "pic-in-pic" fx as a way to "spice" up the ending from the previous version...
Special Thanks to dragonballarena.net for the hosting. ^_^

BlackBerry suspension: Alternative services to be created
Dubai: The UAE's two telecom operators Emirates Telecommunication Corporation (etisalat) and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du) will develop "alternative" products and service for BlackBerry users as the country's regulator suspends current services on the device.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) on Sunday announced its decision to suspend BlackBerry services by October 11 and instructed operators to "ensure minimal consumer disruption in the provision of alternative services".
Have your say: What do you think about the TRA's decision?
Etisalat spokesperson Ahmad Bin Ali told Gulf News that there would be a lot of alternative services, but did not provide any clarification. "Alternatives and all information will be announced hopefully this week, as we just received the announcement from TRA today," Ali said on Sunday.
A TRA spokesperson said that all operators — etisalat, du and Research In Motion (RIM), the Canadian maker of BlackBerry — are working to find a service that falls under the TRA regulation and the UAE law. The regulator has earlier said that due to the level of security on the devices and their inaccessibility to third-parties, poses a national security threat. It has been in talks with RIM to work around the issue, but the manufacturer has not said it would make any changes for the UAE.
It declined to comment on the suspension order when contacted by Gulf News.
"With no solution available and in the public interest, in order to affect resolution of this issue, as of October 11, 2010, Blackberry Messenger, Blackberry Email and Blackberry Web-browsing services will be suspended until an acceptable solution can be developed and applied," TRA Director General Mohammad Al Ganem said in a statement.
Statement from etisalat on the TRA decision
du statement on the TRA decision
The TRA spokesperson said that the suspension was decided after it was discovered that the device does not fall under UAE law. The BlackBerry has been in use in the country since 2007.
"The option for alternative services ... is the most important priority," Al Ganem said. "I would be surprised if it gets to the possible plan of suspension. I think it might not be the end of the line but just a way to build pressure on RIM," telecoms analyst Matthew Reed an editor at Informa telecoms and media told Gulf News.
He said that the October 11 deadline leaves time for the involved parties to find a solution.
Etisalat has said that mobile data services account for 15 per cent of mobile subscriptions, including smartphone, broadband.
"The BlackBerry is probably the biggest single component of that at 5 to 10 per cent," Reed said. "Revenues they make from smartphones are typically three to fives times as much from regular phones."
The UAE has an estimated 500,000 BlackBerry users.
The suspension would include suspension of BlackBerry services providing email, web browsing, instant messaging and social networking, etisalat said in a statement.
"Etisalat has an obligation to act within the law and the regulations of the TRA, while at the same time, providing our customers with the best service," it said.
"Customers will be able to continue using their BlackBerry devices for Voice, SMS, MMS and web browsing not using blackberry service as these services will remain unaffected," said du, adding that in the coming days, it would be making an announcement on the new plans.

Case Conclusion Date: 02.03.2010
Practice Area: Family
Outcome: Lower Court judgment for client affirmed by Appelate Court
Description: Ex-wife filed a motion to enforce the marital settlement agreement (MSA) provisions. The Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Amy L. Smith, J., denied motion, and ex-wife appealed. Holding: The District Court of Appeal, Farmer, J., held that parol evidence about the intent of parties regarding the time for payment of funds to ex-wife for equitable distribution purposes, pursuant to MSA, was admissible because MSA failed to specify a time for payment and, thus, was ambiguous as to the intent of the parties in that regard. Affirmed.

One of the long-standing "American Idol" rituals is the morning-after press conference with the ousted candidate from the night before.
Ashthon Jones proved a class act up until the end, someone not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve at all times, and her exit, while somewhat expected given her "wild card" status, was nevertheless poignant.
The Nashville department store manager already made it clear she's putting her old life behind her when she quit her job. The teenage runaway whose father died when she was 14, lived on the street for almost three years before being "saved," becoming a Christian and, in her words, "turned my life around… That experience has made me a stronger person. And it's just the tip of the iceberg to what I've gone through."
'American Idol' Plugs Lambert, Diddy, And Eliminates One
On her future plans: I've worked all my life. Now's the time to be the artist and performer that God put in me a long time ago. I just have to go on further in my career, and hopefully, opportunities are there waiting for me. I'm very excited about what's to come. I have no idea what's going to happen, but I feel in my spirit it's something great.
On what America missed in her: I just wanted people to see my personality. And I don't think it showed that, but it's OK because everything happens for a reason. I'm glad that the judges saw I could be a diva, but I didn't want the world to see me as one, that I thought I was all that. I wanted them to see the confidence that I have comes from God. I was never timid on-stage. I've always engaged the crowd in my performances. I feel like America is going to see that now that I've moved on. And I can't wait.
Watch Highlights From "Idol's" First Elimination Night:
On whether she regrets picking Diana Ross' "When You Tell Me That You Love Me": I chose that song for a reason. I listened to all of Diana Ross' songs, and that one, for some reason, spoke to me. It administered to me in a way that I could relate to my life, my experiences and my faith… the love that I have around me, from my fans and my family. The lyrics meant something to me. I didn't understand why that song wasn't a bigger hit. For Rodney Jerkins and Jimmy Iovine to turn it into a current R&B song, I thought was amazing. I couldn't wait to get on the stage and sing it. America didn't really feel it like I did, but hopefully, now that it's on iTunes and people can download it, it will begin to touch them like it touched me. I believe that. I was destined to sing that song.
How Jennifer Lopez' advice affected her: Jennifer always had something real to say that came straight from her spirit. She told me I'm amazing, I'll go far, not to stop. Last night, she told me it's all about the song. Make sure that first record is a hit before you put it out. Great songs are always remembered. They never go away.
Casey Abrams Misses 'Idol,' Hospitalized Again
On her fellow contestants: I never knew I had so many best friends. I lift them up, they lift me up. We cry on each others' shoulders. That's what it's all about. Having people around you that are positive. Don't read negative comments on the Internet. You have to stay focused. You have to have people around you who are constantly feeding great energy and faith into your spirit. In the end, that's what will make you a great artist.
On her emotional reaction when she realized it was over: It really wasn't pain, it was leaving the stage, and all the friends that I made. I had to let it our. I'm a very, very strong person, but sometimes you have to let it out, you have to show your emotions. I'm a real person just like America. I'm just Ashthon from Nashville. I cried because of all the things I went through, the experiences. I couldn't believe I made it so far. But I left those tears on the stage.
On being the first person voted off: It's not always a bad thing. It could be a good thing. Everything I went through on the show, I'm going to take it and put it towards my career. I don't think anything is going to stop me. I feel it's all in God's timing. He has something better for me. I feel it in my spirit, and I can't wait to see what's going to happen. I have to remind myself that some of the greatest artists on 'Idol' didn't win, either. That has kept me sane and driven. I want to show the world who I am, and spread the love and faith. I want people to see me and say, 'She's my Idol anyway.' You have to feel like you're a winner anyway. That strength comes from God. I wanted to go out with a bang, and I think I did. The judges saw something in me that I didn't know I had. I look at everyone on that show as superstars, and I feel I'm one, too. My fans will stick by my side through thick and thin, and that's all that matters. It's not about competing to have the most fans. It's about finding your lane and learning who you are. I believe this helped me define the person and artist I can be.
On whether her emotionalism hurt her with the voters: I can only be myself. I'm not going to be a different person just for TV. I've got to constantly be me. Being myself and staying true to my beliefs will make me a winner in the end. This is just the start.

To everyone wondering whether Lady Gaga was really "Born this Way," you may soon have a chance to find out.
The cable channel Lifetime is looking to shoot a made-for-TV movie called "Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story." It will track the singer's rise from obscurity to international super stardom according to Deadline.
The film would be based on the unauthorized biography "Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga" by Maureen Callahan, a writer for the New York Post. No one has yet been cast in for Gaga yet.
So, assuming the movie goes forward, who would you like to see play the Mama Monster?

Inside V Magazine's "Curves Ahead" Spread
This month's issue is all about women who look like women.
-Carolyn French
In December we offered a first look at V magazine's "One Size Fits All" spread, and now we have the pleasure of introducing "Curves Ahead" (both available on January 14) which puts plus-size models front and center.
The models, styled by Nicola Formichetti, don bodysuits, bustiers and some even show off their bare bods.
Famed photographer Solve Sundsbo later praised the revolutionary shoot, saying, "I loved the opportunity to show that you can be beautiful and sexy outside the narrow interpretations that normally define us." (V Magazine)

There are few things better than girl time and tea. And when it happens to take place amongst the one wildly gorgeous tablescape, blush watercolor details, pretty gems from Kira Kira and a bounty of tastefully styled blooms? All the better. Mallory Joyce brought this bridesmaids' soiree to life, and Elisa Bricker + Shaking Hands Productions captured to perfection. Get your peek right over here.
From Elisa Bricker… Inspired by the cold chill of winter and the comfort of warm tea and warmer conversation, we designed a space for a girl to gather with her bridesmaids, to play dress up, to adorn herself with jewels, to indulge in some earl grey and cakes. A collection of heirloom china from early 20th century English and French artisans paired with feminine watercolors and lush blooms created an inviting tablescape to sit and linger with friends.
Vintage pieces from the jeweler's family collection were used on the table including sterling silver flatware in a Gurham pattern called Buckingham 1910, English bone china in a pattern called "Commodore" by Minton, and crystal Waterford glasses.

With spa treatments, day care, designer clothes and even special room-service menus, there's no shortage of amenities for beloved balls of fur. But when families are forced to say goodbye to Fluffy – the $36-billion pet industry falls flat.
About 63 percent of U.S. households own at least one pet, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturer's Association. But many pet owners are left with few outlets for paying tribute to the life of their beloved dog or cat, aside from a backyard funeral and burial – which is illegal in many areas of the country.
And that's how Paws & Remember built a business. The Fort Wayne, Ind.-based firm, which was founded in 1997, provides memorialization services and products for pets, including cremation, urns and keepsakes, along with training and education to assist veterinary clinics and other pet specialists in helping their clients at times of loss.
"People want some way of memorializing their pet and really paying tribute to a huge part of their family, but they want it to be easy to do," said Randi Binstock, Chief Operating Officer of Paws & Remember.
Paws & Remember offers grief packages like the "legacy," which includes an urn, paw print keepsake and photo album. The "simplicity" includes an engraved birch urn and picture frame. Packages cost between $200 and $500, including cremation.

Secondary-market home sales fall to 18-week low
Sales of homes on the secondary market fell to an 18-week low for the week ended June 3, data from estate agency Ricacorp Properties show.
Transactions in the 50 largest private housing estates monitored by Ricacorp were down 10 per cent on the previous week to just 150, from 167 the previous week. There were no sales at eight estates, including Grand Promenade in Sai Wan Ho and Laguna City in Kwun Tong.
The sharpest fall was recorded in the New Territories, where just 72 deals were done in the 21 major estates in the area. Ricacorp director David Chan said sales in the New Territories and Kowloon were affected by the anticipated launch of several new projects in the area, and fell by 18 per cent and 4 per cent respectively.
On Hong Kong Island there were 25 sales on the nine monitored estates versus 24 the previous week.
'Many new projects are scheduled for release,' Chan said. 'And since asking prices of new projects launched recently are only slightly higher than secondary-market prices, this lured many home seekers away from the secondary market.'
The volatile stock market may also have dented sentiment, Chan said, and the result was that in City One in Sha Tin - one of the area's most popular housing estates - just six flats changed hands during the week, down from 12 a week earlier.
With sales of several new projects to start this week, buyers' and agents' attention would be diverted from the secondary market, Chan said, and secondary flat sales could drop below 130 this week, with falling demand likely to see prices easing as well.
A report by securities and investment banking group Jefferies noted abundant liquidity would probably support prices in the short term, but cautioned that in the longer term an increase in supply could affect prices. It expects prices to fall by 5 to 10 per cent in the next six to 12 months.

I'm just sitting here shaking my head in horror. I'll say basically what I just said in my own thread:You invest in a JD for the long term. Over the course of your career your school will fall and rise at least three spots multiple times. (Obvious exceptions: HYS). If you are going to look at rankings look at long term trends; they at least indicate whether a school is generally on the rise or on the decline. If a drop of three spots or a rise of one spot matters this much to you you have some really serious ego problems.

Could you kindly share some of the key points that IIF looks in a firm before investing in them?
Our mandate is to invest in early stage companies that have a strong innovation component and have intellectual property. In the life sciences sector, this translates most often into pre-revenue companies that are at advanced stages of product or technology development. Given this stage of the company, a key criteria we consider is the uniqueness of the technology and its proposition as a solution to a problem.
We invest on companies that have technologies which could be game-changers. This automatically translates into a determination of the market size and scalability of the company. Given the stage of the company, another key parameter is the quality of the team. In my opinion, our portfolio companies have teams that are world class. While their technical expertise is proven, the jury still tries to determine their ability to execute a commercially successful venture starting with a unique technology solution. This is where our ability to evaluate the team is important.
What are the recent developments made by the IIF?
IIF became operational exactly two-and-a-half years back. We are now closing in on our 7th investment. Four of these have happened during this calendar year. The early set of companies that we invested in, including Mitra Biotech, are now at a stage where they are raising further capital either through follow-on rounds from us or our co-investors, or through external sources. While we will continue investing, our focus is now shifting towards supporting our existing portfolio companies.
India has seen a number of start-up companies in the life sciences and healthcare sectors in the past five-to-six. What are your comments on this upsurge?
I agree that there has been an upsurge in the life sciences and healthcare sectors, but I think this upsurge is also visible in other sectors such as ICT. Furthermore, it is not just the quantity of start-ups, but encouragingly a qualitative improvement in the start-ups and the maturity of their offerings that are emerging in these sectors. The reasons are common across these sectors. There is an entire generation of individuals who went to the West to study and work and have returned n large numbers to India in the last five years, armed with a global outlook, practices and ideas. Many of these have ventured into entrepreneurship as the opportunities offered by the large firms often don't measure up to their competence.
There is also a new breed of entrepreneurs, who are emerging from large corporates, with a deep domain understanding. These entrepreneurs understand gaps in solution offerings, and are looking to offer niche solutions to the problems or are looking to address the issues. Another category, yet emerging, is a set of academics, who are converting years of research into business applications and building firms around them. This upsurge is encouraging and with the right enablers, can lead to a whole new breed of companies that will emerge from India.
What is the role of IIF in helping start-ups other than providing monitory benefits?
IIF, as a fund has a strategic set of promoters such as NASSCOM and the IKP Trust and investors that include corporates who are leaders in areas of investment, like TCS and Airtel. Furthermore, this is the first fund that the Government of India has invested in through the Department of Science and Technology. We use our investors, promoters and their networks to advise our portfolio companies and provide them market access. We have also led investment rounds, where we have syndicated co-investors, thereby bringing additional capital to these start-ups.

Strong-armed by my cat
Greetings, everyone. I hope everyone and their pets are in great health and spirits. This is my first post and based on the questions, comments, and responses I've been reading here, it seems I'm in the right place.
Frederick-Douglas is a wonderfully sweet and overly-needy 12 y/o DSH that I have basically had since he was born. I did give him to a friend as a kitten, but when she had her son Frederick began urinating in her son's crib and she asked if I would take him back. I did so gladly. I didn't have any problems for the first few years, but over time he began urinating around the house and I didn't know why exactly. Now it seems I have an idea but not sure if that's the real reason or not. As I mentioned previously, he's extremely needy and very demanding of attention. He will whine constantly and rub against me no matter what I'm doing until I pet him. While I love that he enjoys my attention so much, it is annoying when I am unable to finish regular activities in a timely manner simply because I have to keep stopping to pay attention to him. It seems that if I don't give him attention exactly when he demands it, he punishes me by urinating somewhere in the apartment. As it stands, I have to throw out my sofa and have had to throw away numerous clothing items and even a comforter because of his urinating. I love him with all my heart but his urination outside the litter box has become unbearable and I'm seriously considering giving him up. I know it sounds terrible because I've had him so long but I don't know what to do. This has been going on so long and he's wreaking havoc in my apartment. I hate to even type the words because he is so sweet and has been a companion for so long, but I'm at my wit's end and don't know what else to do. He has no health issues that contribute to this behavior. The litter boxes will be clean and he still urinates outside of the litter boxes. I've tried various types of litter and that still doesn't work. My only guess is for this problem is that if he's not getting the tremendous amount of attention that he wants, he urinates somewhere in the apartment. Sometimes I feel like I'm being strong-armed into showing affection because I'm scared that if I don't, I'll be punished with urine somewhere in my home. Not a nice way to live and it is becoming a strain on my relationship with him. I'm giving him attention not so much from the heart but just so he won't urinate on anything. I'm so frustrated and even about to cry as I type this. I don't know what to do. I love him with all my heart but I'm really starting not to like him because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions before I reach a point of desperation and take him to a shelter? All the local no-kill shelters are full and I hate to think of him being euthanized if I take him to a regular shelter. I just don't know what to do... |
Has he been to the vet recently? Is he neutered?
At 12 years old Frederick-Douglas should be in for a yearly or twice yearly exam w/geriatric blood panel including T4 & urinalysis to rule out any medical concerns including liver, kidneys, thyroid, FLUTD, urinary crystals etc First rule out any medical issues, next step is to determine if this is stress related as obviously there has been some upheaveal in his life from early on, shifting houses/families a few times. How does Fredrick-Douglas get along with other pets especially any cats in the house? Is he harrassed by another pet? Do all the animals have areas they can escape to for some down time alone? Is he being ambushed near the litterbox by others? Is the litterbox near noisy appliances furnace, washer etc that may have come on suddenly & startled him? Or is it in a high traffic area like an often used hallway? Is he being scolded/yelled at or otherwise punished for going outside the box? This will only re-inforce the peeing in places like corners/behind furniture so he can't be seen eliminating. Are the litterboxes all uncovered? Have you tried a covered one? Have you tried Cat Attract Litter? How many litterboxes do you have? General rule of thumb is one box per cat plus one extra ie 4 cats = 5 boxes Next is this behavioural or a learned behaviour? What are you using to clean the pee spots with? Any cleaner with an ammonia or bleach base smells very similiar to the base ingredient in cat pee which will only reinforce his peeing in that area to cover the other smell with his own. An enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle or the home made version = 1 cup water + 1/4 cup vinegar + 1/4 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol, mix together in a spray bottle. Mop up the pee, spray area w/vinegar mix, mop up & spray area again let dry. This will remove the ammonia smell that you may not be able to smell but the cats certainly can. If the area is not cleaned enzymatically the cat will repeatedly use the same area as they can still smell the previous pee there so it's territorially a good spot to go. Is he peeing or spraying? Spraying usually involves vertical surfaces where the cat backs up against & often you can see the tail straight up twitching while he sprays pee 6-8" up off the floor against walls/furniture. Is this in reaction to an unneutered male or unspayed female in heat in the building/neighbourhood? Are there new people/pets in your home or has someone recently left? New carpet/furniture? Did you re-arrange the furniture? Changed laundry detergent/household cleaners added something with an ammonia base or strong smell - flowery or otherwise? Does he have a high cat tree where he can see out the window, interactive cat toys to amuse himself with, do you play with him using a feather wand type toy? Have you tried Feliway pheromone diffusers/sprays? If sprayed on the area a cat has previously urine marked (after cleaning w/an enzymatic cleaner) it may reduce the likelyhood of the cat returning to urine mark that particular spot as it now has a pheromone marker. You may need to go back to the basics of litter training as it seems this has been allowed to continue long enough to the point that Frederick-Douglas may think this is acceptable behaviour - unless it is medically related of course. Your vet may be able to help with behaviour modification medications if necessary http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body...e_soiling.html Honestly giving him up is not going to solve the problem especially if he craves human attention/interaction, it's just passing it on to someone else and bringing a cat that is urinating outside of the litterbox to a shelter is usually a death sentence even if they are a "no kill" as that only applies to adoptable animals.

What lab work (blood/urinalysis/ultrasound?) was done, and when? Do you have any results you can post? Quote:
Was there perhaps a time when the boxes weren't so clean? Litter boxes should be cleaned at least once a day, preferably twice. It could it be that Frederick got fed up with a dirty box at one point, and a precedent has been set so that it doesn't matter how clean the box is now. Also whether a box is covered or uncovered can play a role. I'd say that for most cats, uncovered is preferable, especially since the litter boxes sold in pet stores are woefully small. If you haven't bought a new box lately, I'd suggest doing that, but get one or two of those Rubbermaid under-the-bed storage boxes. Lots of room for cats to maneuver around in. Which ones have you tried (ie scented? clay? pine? pellets?)? There is one litter called Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract which has herbs added to it that cats find irresistible to pee on. If you haven't used it before, run, don't walk, to the nearest Petsmart to pick some up. You could also offer up a buffet of different litters in 2 or 3 different boxes and see what Frederick prefers. Put clumping pine in one, Dr. Elsey's in another and after a week, keep the one that he consistently chooses. Then the next week, try a new one against last week's winner. Quote:
Change the boxes (and their locations: he could be associating where they are with something unpleasant). Change the litter to Dr. Elsey's. Growler's suggestion of Feliway is excellent. Both some room diffusers and a bottle of the spray to use in places that he pees. Flower essences would be something else worth looking into, or if you have access to a holistic or homeopathic vet, they can develop a treatment plan customized to Frederick's needs. Pick up all blankets, clothes, area rugs, etc, - whatever you can that you think Frederick might pee on. Put tinfoil over places that you can't move. Cover the sofa with plastic or plasticized sheets when you aren't around to supervise (I know it's a pain, but you need to make those spots less appealing to him, while making the places you want him to pee as appealing as possible). If boredom is a factor and you think Frederick would be okay with a feline friend, maybe adopting another (cat-friendly) cat is the answer. Or at least setting aside some time (at the same time everyday - cats thrive on routine) for quality play sessions. Invest in new toys and rotate the toys around so they stay "fresh" and interesting. And lastly, while I don't usually advocate drugs for these situations, there are some cases where anti-anxiety meds can be useful. Especially if all else has failed. But hopefully things resolve themselves before that. Quote:
My that you and Frederick can make this work. Please keep us updated on his progress.

Just to reiterate - a no kill shelter means that adoptable cats do not get killed. It does not mean that older cats, feral cats, stray cats, etc make it past three days.
You have got some excellent advice from growler and sugarcatmom. I a combo of the suggestions do the trick. The number one suggestion needs to be a vet visit.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me. We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!

I also want to note that I took a very adoptable 13 year old cat that did not make it even to see the vet at the shelter. He was deemed unadoptable only due to his age and put on death row immediately. Luckily I was there evaluating a dog when this happened. I cannot imagine he being euthanized in such a horribly cold environment by those that are immuned to emotion. It is very mechanically done and no animal deserves this. If you have exhausted all avenues then I agree that the best course of action is to have him euthanized with you holding him so that he is in arms of love and not those of indifference. Good luck - I personally feel that excellent advice has been given and you will get good results. Keep us updated. |
The chick being strong-armed by her cat responds...
I would like to start off thanking all those who gave me actual suggestions and not comments about shelters, etc. I am a seasoned pet owner and even worked for a vet at one time, so my thought to take him to a shelter was not one that I was taking lightly as some may think. That's not how I operate.
Frederick-Douglas has been to the vet and has a clean bill of health. Believe me, that was the first thing on the list. This is more specifically a behavioral issue and I knew that off the bat. This has been an on and off thing for him for quite some time. As I mentioned when I first posted, when he was a kitten I gave him to a friend and shortly after she had a baby and he was acting out then. I took him back about 3 months after I gave him to her, so he's been with me basically his whole life with the exception of that short time. It pains me to think of us not being together. Actually today was the original day that I set to take him to a shelter but prayed about it and read the great responses here and on a couple of other message boards and decided to give us both more time. With a clean bill of health in place for him, I'm going to clean my apartment top to bottom, go over it with a black light to find any soiled areas I may have missed, try the products suggested, get new litter boxes, get a new sofa, and try some new techniques (behavioral and communication). I know he'll need time so I'm going to keep trying. Giving him up is something I did not want to do at all. After all, I was literally right there when he was born. I love all my cats dearly -- they're my kids. Keep us in your prayers! Thank you all so much!!! |
Does he pee in the same place all the time? Have you tried putting kitten size litter boxes where he regularly pees?
Are there cats outside that may be un-neutered that he can smell? Is he spraying your couches or squatting on them? I put a sheet over my couches when I wasn't home to prevent Jasper from spraying mine. It worked very well.

Glad to hear you're going to try some more options!
Then my suggestion would be to maintain a log-book of any future incidents to see if you can find a pattern. For instance, there might be a correlation to buying new furniture, working different hours, changing the laundry detergent, etc. Cats thrive on routine, some more than others, and maybe Frederick is particularly anal about having everything just *so*. Things we don't think twice about can have big repercussions for our feline friends, upsetting their world as they know it. That might partly explain why Frederick is so needy - he craves your reassurance that everything is going to be okay. How many cats do you have? Do they all get along (and sometimes when cats don't get along, it's very very subtle, so subtle we obtuse humans don't always notice - like one cat will lie in the doorway to the room with litter boxes, passive-aggressively preventing other cats from going in there). Thank you for not giving up on Frederick yet. Your all he has in this mean ol' world.

We all wish you well as there is no doubt you and your kitty are having difficulty. EVERYONE here wants nothing but the best for your cat...and you of course. Our prayers are with you and that you get positive results. Best to you. |
Since you mentioned this does not happen 100% of the time, besides the obvious of stress causing intermittent issues, it could be an unaltered cat that is within his "smelling area". Cats can smell through walls and windows. Do you know your neighbours, above and below your apartment? Do they have cats? The log is an excellent idea, it may give you a better idea of a correlation. Does his peeing correlate to any travel that you do? My Jasper has separation anxiety and gets very stressed when he is not on his schedule, he is also very,very needy and also sprays periodically (that corresponds to a unaltered feral that will be around and we don't get him outside soon enough for him to spray outside). He will also get very stressed if there is any frustration in the house. Another thing, are you 100% sure it is only one cat? It couldn't be your others peeing in a place that had been peed previously. They do like to cover other kitty's scent with their own.

It would be a really tricky job. You would need to make a really neat job of cutting out the window and then shape a piece of clear plastic to glue in position. Not impossible, but it woud be difficult to end up with a neat repair.
Might take it to a plastics company to see if they would give it a go.
They made a Hoshizaki part for me, better than new.
It has certainly taught me a lesson about Testo, seems they are a manufacturer
