thanks I have been looking at that back pack personally. How long have you had it? How is it holding up?
Jesus dude! How much does that thing weigh? You have a rolling tool box but with 2 straps

No freekin' way you need to haul all that stuff around with you! I'd say you could handle 95% of all service calls with only 25% of that stuff! 7 adjustable wrenches and 7 pairs of channel-locks?! C'MON! LOL
I have used 1 pair of channel-locks for the last 15 years. There are two adjustables in my bag currently; a 12" and a 6".
The key to happiness is lower expectations.
Don't pick the fly crap out of the pepper.
Hha I had it completely stuffed at maybe 55lbs for a while, and it was heavy no joke. I honestly use it as my master pack that's always avaliable if something gives me a hard time. I stuff my little fieldpiece pack with enough to get started or find most problems. I've had it for about 2 years and its held up great. I work in reatuarants almost daily so I'm extremely concious on how I handle the bag and my tools, places are just gross and tools arnt cheap! The fact the bag conceals every tool, holds A LOT, gives you two hands to go up ladders, and a reasonable price, I dig it. At one point I put tiny master locks on all the zippers but that was to much. And you can never have to many of one tool in my opinion.
I can understand you traveling a bit heavy, then. Restaurant refrigeration and cooking equipment is difficult work due to space constraints and the way the manufacturers pack so much stuff into a tiny box. Sometimes, you just need the right tool for the job, because there's no room to make something else work.
I think you should give a Veto a try. It has a water and grease proof hard plastic bottom, and the zip up sides roll up and snap into place so you can keep them off the floor. They are also ingeniously designed as far as organization goes.
Veto makes the best bags in my opinion but for service I love my clc backpack, it gives you free hands to grab gauges and paperwork, not to mention it is a lifesaver for doing rooftops
I agree with you 100% I can tell ya how many times going into a restaurant, and literally have NOWHERE acceptable to put my bag. On this floor? I don't think so. It's terrible, and like you said the veto is well constructed and the base would work very well in my situation. I'm pretty sure this site introduced me to Veto. And I'm a guy who surfs the web till 3 in the morning on tools I want and new stuff coming out. So naturally I've gone through all the nice videos everything veto and they sold me pretty much. So I will get one, I just want a duplicate set of tools like I have in the CLC, I want both, full, of tools, toooollss
when I first came to this site everyone ranted and raved about Veto, I thought it was too big for my liking. I then worked with a guy that has one and saw how many tools he has in it and how nice it was that we didnt have to make constant trips to the truck for one tool. I found a supply house near me that has them (For you NJ guys, Sheaffer Supply in Dover) had it for 2 months now and I love it! Some techs I work with think its unnecessary but when you're working in a big house doing a coil or heat exchanger and need random tools you dont have in your little pouch, its great to have it right there and save trips to a truck.
I have a 20 pocket CLC pouch, gets the job done.
like you I do spend sometime on the floor of a dirty kitchen.
My current bag I hate to put down in the slime, which why I was considering either the back pack or http://www.goclc.com/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=1582&id=39
or heck both LOL

In our second installment of Year in Review we take a look at the Lizards and their difficult season. Click here to read the Ohio Machine Year in Review
The New York Lizards fell short of the playoffs this season, but they did present some promising moments and players. Finishing out the season at 4-10, the Lizards battled but could not keep up with much of the League, landing themselves in seventh place.
The Lizards did however show glimpses of greatness on a few occasions this summer.
After suffering a heartbreaking loss in the 2012 semifinals, the Lizards started this year off strong, downing the Boston Cannons 14-11 to open their 2013 campaign. Things were looking up for the Lizards, but a 9-3 loss to the Chesapeake Bayhawks in the second game of the season tied a record for the fewest goals ever in an MLL game. An 0-for-9 powerplay was a major reason for the Lizards shortcomings, a common theme for the rest of the year.
Four games into the year, the Lizards added 2012 No. 1 overall draft pick Rob Pannell to their roster. Pannell would have joined the team after the 2012 NCAA season, but a broken foot kept him at Cornell for a fifth year in 2013 before joining the Lizards midseason.
Pannell made an immediate impact for the Lizards, scoring under five minutes into his MLL debut, however his eventual hat trick could not prevent New York from falling to Charlotte 14-12. Pannell finished the season with a team-leading 42 points and led the League in points-per-game with 4.2, earning Cascade Rookie of the Year honors.
The rest of the season was relatively uneventful for the Lizards, highlighted by a Week 7 win against Hamilton. The team suffered a six-game losing streak before winning their final game of the season at home against Ohio. Despite dropping six straight contests, the Lizards kept the score tight in all but one of those games.
Max Seibald, the team's leading scorer in 2012 with 39 points, finished with just 9 in 2013 after missing a considerable amount of time with a broken left foot. Other than Pannell, the only other Lizard to crack the 20-point barrier was Tommy Palasek. In contrast, six Lizards scored 20 or more points in 2012.
Despite all the negatives for the Lizards in the 2013 season, there are still plenty of positives to take out of it. In net, Drew Adams played in all 14 games, making the most saves of any goalie in the league (209) and posting a very respectable .549 save percentage.
The Lizards were also fortunate enough to have the best faceoff man in the League taking almost every faceoff, ensuring that they were secure from the "x." Greg Gurenlian, was absolutely dominant when he was out on the field, battling for the ball and securing 232 faceoff wins for his team. He now holds the title of highest single season win percentage at .640.
The Lizards will also likely be healthier next year, getting full years out of players like Seibald and Pannell, who played in just six and 10 games, respectively. They will also likely get a full season out of Mark Matthews, who for his two-year career is nearly a three point-per-game player.
Look for Pannell and Co. to make a strong push to get back to the playoffs next season. Only once in their history have the Lizards failed to make the playoffs after missing them the year before. After they add some high-end talent at the draft in January with a top pick and get healthier in the offseason, the Lizards have nowhere to go but up for the 2014 campaign.

State Classified Meal Periods and Breaks
- It is the responsibility of the supervisor and/or the department head to establish the scheduled time during which meals/breaks can be taken.
- The daily meal period for an employee who is working six hours or more must be of at least one-half hour duration, not to exceed one hour.
- Failure to take a meal period does not permit employees to shorten the workday.
- The granting of breaks is discretionary.
- Breaks, when granted, should be of a reasonable duration. As a guide, more than two 15 minute breaks per 7.5 or 8 hour workday would be considered excessive.
Employees who do not take breaks are not permitted to either shorten the workday or to receive any form of overtime compensation or compensatory time off. Breaks are not to be taken in conjunction with meal periods.

Sakio Bika, in his fourth world title try, met Mexican Marco Antonio Periban with the vacant WBC super middleweight title up for grabs at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday night. This time, he was charmed, compliments of his strength of body and chin. It was no masterpiece, as Bika is an awkward sort, but the judges don't give style points; they saw it 114-114, 116-112, 115-113.
Bika went 176-635 to 168-579 for Periban.
After, he said he'd like to fight Andre Ward. There will not be a clamor for that scrap, sir. Periban after called the decision a bad one, and said Bika fought dirty.
The Cameroon-born Australian resident Bika entered at 31-5-2 while Periban was 20-0.
That crown was held by Andre Ward, and the BC yanked it for "inactivity."
Bika was his usual awkward self. He throws wild punches and usuually clinches a good deal, though on this night the ref didn't have to break them much. Periban looked to choose his spots, not get into a rumble early.
The Mexican snapped a sharp jab top score points in the third while Bika looked to land a right hand bomb. His balance is an issue and that keeps him from throwing more than one or two punches at a time.
Bika landed his left hook a few times as did Peri in the fourth. It was an action round and I couldn't hazard a guess as to what the judges saw. Bika had a nice fifth; he was first and Peri waited too much. When he snapped the jab and interrupted Bika's flow, Peri had his best luck. When he looked to counter he wasn't busy enough.
Bika landed heavier, showier shots, it could be argued, headed into the later rounds. Peri wanted to maintain a distance to his liking but it's not easy to do on Bika, who is nothing if not strong and determined.
Bika was cut by a butt in the eighth and Peri was too, from the same head clash. To end the round, they traded roundhouses.
The ninth was sloppy fun, with a lot of wild swinging and missing and some connects, too.
Peri's manager Rolando Arellano, as in previous rounds, exhorted his kid to come forward, press Bika, take it to him. Did he do it enough to get judge love in the tenth?
In the 11th, it was another tight one. Bika, the more muscled man, seemed to throw more impactful punches. In the 12th, Peri buzzed Bika, who seemed out of gas. But he kept standing and returning fire, in a terrific action round. We went to the cards.

The Queen Using Google Maps
The Queen of England is set to unveil an updated website on February 12th. The site is reportedly going to make extensive use of Google Maps.
A senior royal source said,
"We have integrated the royal diary with Google maps. This means that if you hover [the computer mouse] on, say Birmingham, it will throw up all the past royal visits to the city – at the moment going back to 2005 – as well as future royal visits for the next two weeks.
This will be called: 'Royal family in my area' and we hope it will prove very popular with the public. People will be able to enter the member of the Royal family and the date to get the information they need."
I just want to know how many visits to Birmingham the Queen has got planned in the next two weeks and, if she has been there before, why is she planning to go again?

In the thread next xprize competion in the "Who's going to lead the race to space?" section Thursday, June 17th 2004 1:17 pm I listed a propulsion-concept "Methane & Liquid Oxygen" - but didn't add the team using LOX/methane.
What team might it have been? that time? XCOR? I am not that sure.
I was looking for it because there was - or still is - the idea to use a LOX/methane-engine for the new lunar lander. Additonally the article "ASTRONOTES: Firms Plan Low-cost Workhorse Rocket Engine" ( http://www.space.com/includes/iab.html? ... notes.html ) is reporting that XCOR and ATK team up to develop such an engine.

Advent Launch Services was planning to use liquid methane for their X-Prize vehicle.
See this Ansari X Prize Team Summary sheet: American Advent Launch Services team.
According to Advent's website they are planning to do a test firing of their methane engine in the coming months.
And XCOR never competed for the X Prize.

Thank You Very Much, Soyuz, for your help and this information.
And so I was right to doubt and to be not that sure regarding XCOR.
I will have another look toAdvent Launch System's homepage.
Again Thank You Very Much,

I've faced a shocking situation some minutes ago and thats reproducable.
If you package an App using "sencha package run *.json" with iPad as Device target
the simulator comes up normally. You can quit the simulator, restart the app - all fine.
But if you choose "Window -> Size -> 100%" and afterwards "Hardware -> Turn right"
the simulator cannot be started again after you quit the current simulator session.
No Simulator session at all can be started again. Whatever App you want to simulate (even non-sencha-touch apps, native apps etc.) It quits directly after startup with a popup dialog where you can switch the SDK, quit or try to restart the simulator.
After an OS X restart, all is fine again. I'm running OS X Lion, Xcode 4.1, build 4B110; latest native packager (the one from abe, not the release one).
Thanks & regards

Organized Rhythm Blends Percussion, Organ
Organized Rhythm brings their unorthodox combination of percussion and organ to Grinnell in a concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18 in Herrick Chapel.
Free tickets are required for this public event. They are available beginning noon Thursday, Feb. 13 from Grinnell's box office and the Pioneer Bookshop in downtown Grinnell.
Organized Rhythm is an unusual partnership between Clive Driskill-Smith, the young English organist sensation, and American percussion virtuoso Joseph Gramley. Driskell-Smith is one of the leading organists of his generation, a young master of his art; and multi-percussionist Gramley's performance is by equal turns athletic and brilliant.
This is another opportunity to hear Herrick Chapel's historic Aeolian Skinner organ played by a master.

South Carolina's quest to haul Dusten Brown into a Palmetto State courtroom stalled for at least another month Thursday after an Oklahoma judge freed the birth father of 3-year-old Veronica while he fights extradition in the cross-country custody dispute.
With a warrant signed by Oklahoma's governor and Charleston County sheriff's deputies waiting to escort him back to South Carolina, Brown appeared to be running out of options when he surrendered to authorities in Sequoyah County, Okla.
But a short time later, a Sooner State judge granted Brown bail over the protests of the local sheriff, allowing him to remain free until an Oct. 3 hearing decides whether he will be sent to South Carolina to face a custodial-interference charge. He was released on a $10,000 surety bond.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said he initially refused to follow Judge Jeff Payton's order because he had never heard of a suspect being released while awaiting extradition on a governor's warrant. "This is the first time in history I have seen that done," he said.
Lockhart said he called the governor's office and initially was told not to release Brown. The governor's office then called back and told him to follow the court's orders, the sheriff said.
"I lost," he said.
Lockhart said Brown was released a short time later and left with his attorney.
"This whole thing is a farce," Brown's attorney, Clark Brewster, told The Tulsa World. "I can't understand why the governor of this state would sign such a document."
Payton downplayed the episode when reached at the courthouse. He said Brown indicated his intent to challenge the governor's warrant, and he is entitled to be released on bond while he does so.
"Most folks don't object to a governor's warrant. They agree to it, but that's not the case in this instance," the judge said, adding that Brown "has a constitutional right to a bond."
A Charleston County judge issued a warrant for Brown's arrest last month after the Nowata, Okla., man failed to turn over Veronica to her adoptive parents, Matt and Melanie Capobianco of James Island, with whom she lived for 27 months.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley requested Brown's extradition from Oklahoma on Aug. 13.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed the extradition warrant Wednesday after concluding that Brown was "not acting in good faith" by disobeying court orders in both states and denying the Capobiancos access to Veronica.
Haley's office released a statement Thursday praising Fallin's action.
"We appreciate the cooperation of Governor Fallin and the state of Oklahoma to help us arrive at a resolution in the best interests of baby Veronica," said Doug Mayer, a spokesman for the governor. "We will continue to work with the Capobiancos until Veronica is back home in South Carolina."
Brown's attorney told The Tulsa World that Fallin's signature doesn't guarantee that Brown will be sent to the Palmetto State to face the felony charge.
"Fortunately, you cannot be convicted by fiat anymore," Brewster said. "He's entitled to a hearing. Obviously, we fully expect that he will not be extradited."
Veronica's birth mother gave her up for adoption to the Capobiancos shortly after she was born, and Veronica lived with them until she was 2 years old. Before the adoption could be finalized, Brown, a member of the Cherokee tribe, used the heritage he shares with Veronica to get custody in late 2011 through the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Courts have ruled that Veronica's adoption by the Capobiancos is legal, but Brown has refused to recognize it. Veronica remains in Oklahoma, on tribal land, while Brown and his legal team continue their fight to retain custody of the little girl, who turns 4 on Sept. 15.
The Capobiancos have been in Oklahoma for weeks trying to get her back. They were joined last week by Charleston County sheriff's deputies, who were sent to assist with the case and the potential return of Veronica, Brown or both to South Carolina.
Maj. Jim Brady said the sheriff's office had no comment on Thursday's developments. Charleston County's chief prosecutor, 9th Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson, also declined to comment.
The Tulsa World reported that Brown's attorneys had asked for a conference with Fallin's advisers to discuss the legal issues around the warrant, but Fallin signed the warrant without that meeting happening.
Brewster also told the newspaper that a planned visit between the Capobiancos and Veronica on Saturday was canceled on the advice of Cherokee marshals after Matt Capobianco threatened to leave with the girl.
Lori Alvino McGill of Washington, who had been serving as the attorney for Veronica's birth mother, said Brewster's accusation was an act of desperation.
"It's false, and he knows it," said Alvino McGill, who argued for the Capobiancos during a hearing Tuesday in front of the Oklahoma Supreme Court. "It's outrageous and defamatory. ... It's a blatant attempt to improperly influence the Oklahoma Supreme Court."
In a separate statement, Alvino McGill also called into question how Brown was able to post bail Thursday.
"Given that Mr. Brown has miraculously been released on bond yet again in the face of an executed governor's warrant," she said. "I'd expect the state's lawyers to take a very hard look at what is going on here."
Meanwhile, Shannon Jones, Brown's attorney in Charleston, called on the governor to retract a statement alleging that her client hadn't agreed to visitation or negotiation.
Last month, Brown had been in tears over thoughts of being apart from his daughter as his attorneys made offers to the Capobiancos, she said. The Capobiancos' attorneys declined those offers, according to Jones.
"We've done everything we could to negotiate," she said. "But they are confident that they will win this case. They do not believe they need to negotiate."
Alvino McGill praised the governor's "decisive action" to help end the case.
"Veronica deserves the right to go home now, without yet more court orders or the intervention of law enforcement," Alvino McGill said. "Brown's continued refusal to abide by the law is hurting everyone involved, especially Veronica."
The Capobiancos and Brown were together in an Oklahoma courtroom Wednesday. It was the sixth courtroom in three weeks to hear arguments over some element of the case, according to The Tulsa World.
Both sides are now waiting to learn whether the Oklahoma Supreme Court will uphold a lower court order for Brown to hand over custody of his daughter to the Capobiancos. A decision is expected soon, but it is unclear whether that ruling also will be challenged, further delaying a resolution of the case.

Johnston and Bryant totaled 302.10 points to finish second behind only Han Wang and Qulin Zheng of China, who posted a score of 309.90. Australia's Anabelle Smith and Sharleen Stratton took third with 301.20 points while Christina Loukas and Kassidy Cook of Team USA placed fourth at 294.48 points.
Johnston and Bryant's best dive came in the third round, when they scored 70.20 points on a forward 2 ½ somersault 1 twist pike.
"I'm pleased to be on the medal stand, but there are still some things we need to clean up," Johnston said. "There's room for improvement, but this is a big confidence boost for our last meet before Olympic Trials."
The silver medal is the second for Johnston and Bryant in recent international competition, as the two took silver in the 3-meter synchro competition at the FINA Diving World Series stop in Beijing in March. Johnston and Bryant also won the bronze medal in the same event in April on the third leg of the FINA Diving World Series in Moscow.
The U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Diving will be held June 17-24 at the Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash.

David Crosby
Blue Castle
3 Stars
Because his output has been so minimal — four solo albums in 43 years, and it's not like Crosby, Stills & Nash pump 'em out, either — it can be easy to forget or to take for granted David Crosby's abundant virtues as a performer and songwriter. "Croz," his first outing in 21 years, provides a welcome reminder, 11 tracks laced with tasteful intricacies and nuanced sonics that sound just fine up front but reveal more layers with each successive listen. Crosby remains a voice of high conscience throughout, although this time out his '60s counterculture rage takes on the more measured and forward-looking tone of a father and grandfather. "People do so many things that make me mad/But angry isn't how I want to spend what time I have," he declares early on, while in other songs he sings about shedding angst ("Set That Baggage Down," "Holding on to Nothing") and the old but hardly trite standbys of peace, love and understanding ("Radio," "Find a Heart," "Slice of Time," "The Clearing"). "What's Broken" (featuring Mark Knopfler on guitar) and "Dangerous Night" address contemporary urban decay, while "If She Called," with its stark voice and acoustic guitar arrangement, is a heart-wrenching observation about the inner lives of prostitutes. That darkness and light is woven together by carefully crafted instrumentation, with plenty of interweaving guitars and keyboards and nods towards jazz ("Holding on to Nothing," with Wynton Marsalis on trumpet, and "Slice of Time"), Latin ("Find a Heart") and cinematic soundscape drama ("The Clearing"). Crosby laces CSN-style harmonies throughout the album, sometimes stacking his own and often in tandem with James Raymond, the son he gave up for adoption in 1962 who has, since the mid-'90s, become a collaborator as essential as Stephen Stills or Graham Nash. At 72, and after many well-publicized health issues, Crosby is still exciting and visionary — and well worth whatever wait ensues between albums.
The Autumn Defense, "Fifth" (Yep Roc) 3 1/2 Stars
Pat Sansone and John Stirratt don't need the Autumn Defense to make them hip, famous and (some degree of) rich; their membership in Wilco takes care of that. But this is no mere side project for Wilco down time, and "Fifth" is the best Autumn Defense release yet, an understated gem that benefits from the inclusion of the full AD road band and from Sansone and Stirratt's characteristically deft songcraft and rich harmonies. Every song's a winner, too, from the cushy lushness of "None of This Will Matter" and "What's It Take" to samba-flavored tracks like "August Song" and "Why Don't We" to the chiming rock of "The Light in Your Eye," "Under the Wheel" and the Beatles-ish "I Can See Your Face."

n Gaslight Anthem, "The B-Sides" (Sideonedummy): Exactly what the title says, including plenty of acoustic tracks and covers, but the New Jersey group's "extras" still make for stellar listening.
n Jamie Grace, "Ready to Fly" (Gotee): The second album by the Christian singer-songwriter from Atlanta follows a blast of music (two EPs and an LP) she released in 2011.
n Angelique Kidjo, "Eve" (Savoy/429): The Beninian singer's new album includes guest shots from Dr. John, the Kronos Quartet and Vampire Weekend's Rostamm Btmanglij and comes three weeks after her memoir, "Spirit Rising."

Lee's Summit battled all game to contain sixth-ranked Blue Springs South whenever the Jaguars got the ball down low to their big men Friday. Conversely, the Tigers gave the favored Jaguars fits with their ability to dribble penetrate and create open shots or trips to the foul line.
Ultimately, the Tigers made a few more plays to avenge a pair of regular season losses and secure a 78-74 upset in the Class 5 District 13 championship at Raytown High School, bringing an unexpected ending to South's season.
"Blue Springs South's so good," Lee's Summit coach Blake Little. "I said at the beginning of the year we'll be there in the end. We kept closing the gap and closing the gap."
Friday, the Tigers (19-7) quickly closed a 41-36 halftime gap started the third with a 17-6 run. Then, after South's Kevin Puryear and K.J. Robinson combined for 16 points and Brandon Kilgore's two free throws gave South 65-59 lead with 5:20 left in the fourth, they ripped off nine straight to put the Jaguars back on their heels.
"It was a heck of a game," South coach Jimmy Cain said after his team finished 21-5. "I think the fact we couldn't keep them off the line the second half was the difference. I think there were calls on every drive that they had. I'll have to go back and watch the tape, but our guys were battling like crazy."
Lee's Summit's fourth-quarter push started with a Jordan Bennett 3-pointer from the corner, and Drew Lock capped it by putting back his own miss with 2:54 remaining.
South tied the game at 72 with 1:04 when Lock blocked Puryear's initial attempt but fouled Puryear's ensuing putback and the Jaguars junior forward converted the three-point play.
However, Lock earned a trip to the line – his fourth of the quarter – and split a pair of free throws with 50 seconds left. South was whistled for traveling on its next two possessions, and the Tigers' Blake Spellman converted at the line after both turnovers for a 77-72 margin.
"It's the toughness," Lock said of the Tigers' ability to withstand efforts like those from Puryear (30 points, 8 rebounds) and Robinson (25 points). "We had a ton of it, and we showed it tonight."
Lock, a Division I recruit in both football and basketball, made 14 of 18 free throws and finished with 25 points and six rebounds. Bruce Bias added 13 points and eight rebounds, Spellman 11 points and Bennett 10 for the Tigers. Overall Lee's Summit was 25 of 31 at the foul line and committed just six turnovers.
"They are a great team," said Robinson, South's sophomore point guard. "They've got a bunch of players that can go off the dribble and make plays and make free throws. Man, that was a tough game. Nothing but respect for them."
Kilgore added nine points for the Jaguars. He, Robinson and Puryear return next season, but South forwards Kendall Blanton and Jacob Towler, who combined for 10 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks, and 3-point marksman Thomas Abarca played their final high school games.
"Both teams answered," Cain said. "It was a great competitive battle. Congrats to Lee's Summit for moving on in the tournament."
Lee's Summit faces District 14 champion Fort Osage in the Class 5 sectionals at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Independence Events Center.

Hi all,
Im really worried about my darling pup Leo. He is 8 months old and I have noticed he displays some possible symptoms of SM. I am from the UK, purchased the puppy here in the US though, and am living in Chicago for the next six months. I am shocked by how much more MRIs are here and at 26 years old I will have to do it at least partly on finance unless I can wait to be bac in the UK in Aug/Sept/Oct.
He has luxating pattelas in both his legs. I got him checked at the vets as I suspected so from symptoms and they confirmed grade 1 in the right leg and grade 1-2 in the left.
His breeder is AKC registered and I have spoken to her they said they have never had a Cav with SM nor luxating patellars or heard from a buyer that it developed in one of their puppies. They seem to genuinely care and offered, I know its not want you want to hear but we can give you a replacement free if worst comes to worst. I didnt want to hear that tbh and it sent me to tears but I understand they meant good.
The two symptoms he displays that rang the alarm bells for me re:
Particularly he does these two:
- Scratches his kneck and head, not too rigorously or long (at most 10 secs but usually just a couple) this happens a few times through the day definitely. I have also seen him do the phantom air scratching while walking not often but Ive seen it on occasions.
- He yawns quite a lot but he is just a pup and needs his sleep, licks his lips too but I wouldnt say he does either excessively. He does the head shake and body shake sometimes, like they do when theyre wet but he does it dry sometimes.
After he is bathed/showered he does the following two a lot, though it could be just because he is wet and freaked out:
"Digging or pushing. Some dogs begin to dig obsessively at carpets or sofas. They may run along the length of a sofa pushing themselves against it. Again, this behavior is normal in many dogs; with SM dogs, the activity is frantic."
"Head rubbing
Some dogs start to rub their head from side to side on the floor as if their heads hurt, doing this excessively (NB: normal dogs will do this with pleasure, often before rolling on the floor). They sometimes 'mush' their face against the floor. In severe cases dogs have rubbed their faces raw on the floor. An affected dog often follows a scratching session by rubbing its face against the floor. "
Also, when he gets a chew toy he wish shake it and his head franticly like he is trying to kill the life out of it. I think/thought this is just normal puppy behaviour though.
He hasnt yelped other than maybe once or twice in the last six months because he has injured himself. I dont think he has ever expressed pain other than after a typical puppy accident, like a bump or something.
I have seen him chase his tail a couple of times in a row but only on the one occasion (earlier this week).
He seems happy as pie. He did an 8 hour flight last week and was an angel, no bother on it. I love him to BITS. We have built such a tight bond in the last six months that we have been best amigos. Yesterday though he seemed a bit erratic, I thought it was boredom and took him for a walk which seemed to help. I think he was making slight groans once or twice last night in his sleep. Hard to say if they were anything more than sleepy puppy noises.
UPDATE: In last 24 hours I have noticed him sneezing frequently. Perhaps allergies or cold maybe.
I am really worried but I can be a bit neurotic. I mentioned SM to the vet yesterday when taking him to have his lux patellar confirmed but he didn't know what I meant by the acronym and I forgot the full term for it. It was only last night/today when I was reading more about the luxating pattelars that I looked into it more and realised he has so many signs.
I have updated my vet what I meant by SM and why I thought it. I assume he will call later but clearly it will need a specialist.
Key questions I have are:
- Who should speak to? I feel lost and alone on this here in the US. There are seemingly wider and more affordable options back in the UK.
- Do I need an MRI scan? Would there be much benefit doing it now as oppose to waiting, bearing in mind the cost? Or should I just monitor him and see if any signs become more persistent or worrying until I am home?
- Should I consider getting pet insurance before I have him examined for this? I have not mentioned it to my UK vet or had him checked for it in any way.
- Is there anything else I need to do at this stage?
I will stick by him no matter what and make sure that he has the best life possible, whether he has SM or not.
Thank you for any help. This forum has provided so much support to so many people which is admirable.

Hi there,
I am at the end of my tether with our beautiful cav Ruby who is two. I've never had any behaviour issues with her. Took her to puppy class in Dog Training Ireland, taught her basic obedience commands etc. The problem is in the last couple of weeks she's taken to barking at night time and I mean barking. At the moment I'm in bed and she's been barking on and off manly on since about 9:30pm.She sleeps downstairs in the living room but I leave the door into the kitchen open for her in case she needs a drink during the night. I come down the first few times it started to happen because it was in the middle of the night and to be honest I thought there was someone outside as she never makes a sound during the night. The last time until about 6 weeks ago I heard her during the night was as a puppy and that was only for a couple of nights .... She acts like there is something out there and if I went down now and opened the back door she'd be sitting at it ready to dash out and wake the neighbour hood. I've ignored it up till now but its getting beyond a joke. I have an 11 year old and a 6 year old and how they don't wake up is anyone's guess..not wait its not really ..Ruby barking oh yeah mum will sort that out.. and they go back asleep..I had to get ear plugs from the MRI department in work last week so I could stick them in and try and get back to sleep !!! I'm thinking strongly about kidnapping Cesar Milan at this stage ....help any suggestions

Christine Hargis had given up hope this spring that her mother would ever get the kidney transplant she needed.
Hargis, of Coello, Ill., and her mother were caught in the frustration and anguish shared by 80,081 other families on the national waiting list for a kidney.
"We'd been trying for almost two years. I match my mother and my antibodies were too high," Hargis said. "It kind of burst my bubble. I thought there was no hope, and then the doctors said, 'Well, there's this other program...'"
The program they were talking about was a chain of kidney swaps arranged by doctors at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after an altruistic donor in Baltimore decided to give a kidney to a stranger. The doctors decided to try to extend the gift by giving the donated kidney to a person who had a family member or friend willing to donate a kidney, and to give that kidney to another person who likewise had someone close to them willing to donate, and so on.
She signed up for the program, and just two weeks later Hargis got a call from her surgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, who she said told her, "We're going to make medical history."
Hargis, 36, was the last donor in a 16-person, four-hospital, cross-country domino kidney swap that constituted the largest kidney donation chain on record.
It started with Thomas Koontz, the donor in Baltimore, whose kidney went to Mu Cha Leffler, a patient in the same situation as Hargis's mother. She needed a kidney and had a loved one who was willing to donate but who didn't make a good match.
A total of eight people in need at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit received kidneys between June 15 and July 6.
Hargis's mother had the opportunity to speak with her kidney donor, 55-year-old Pamela Paulk, over the phone.
"It's surreal, it's like being in a 'Star Trek' program. Here I am standing and they took my kidney out two weeks ago," Paulk said.
Paulk had wanted to donate a kidney for years after watching the procedure at the Johns Hopkins Hospital where she works as the vice president of Human Resources. Then one day her friend Robert Imes, who also worked at Johns Hopkins as a painter, happened to mention he was in need of a kidney.
Paulk wasn't a match, so they were entered in Johns Hopkins' database of living donors willing to do kidney swaps.
The Advantage of Kidney Donation Chains
"I have not stopped smiling," Paulk said. "I did great. I had no problems. It's just the most wonderful thing to happen to me to be able to do this."
Doctors involved with the transplant chain say the grand orchestration shows the lengths people will go to, to get past the current barriers of kidney donation.
"Donation is so important that we are willing to go to these lengths," said Dr. Lauren Malinzak, a Henry Ford Hospital transplant surgeon who completed a transplant from a kidney flown in from Baltimore.
"Waiting for a kidney is the biggest obstacle to transplants," she said.
Malinzak explained that even when a person in need has several willing donors with the same blood type, a variety of health problems can blow the donation.
"We do turn down a number of donors," Malinzak said. "The most common reasons why we turn down donors is for their own health because they're obese, or they have hypertension, or they have diabetes."
Other people are turned down because they are not "tissue matches," meaning for one reason or another their immune system has built up too many antibodies that will cause rejection in a later transplant.
"It's hard to get a good number of the people who are willing but don't match, because some people already know that they're obese, or that they have the wrong blood type and don't come forward," Malinzak said
At the moment, the majority of families without a match must wait on the national kidney transplant waiting list for a diseased kidney donor. As Hargis knows, the time on dialysis can be grueling and dangerous. Last year, 4,505 people died on traditional lists waiting for a kidney, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing.
"Mom was on dialysis for three to four hours a day, three days a week. My poor dad, he worked second shift so he was coming home and sleeping one to two hours and taking my mom to dialysis," Hargis said. "I'm glad he'll be getting some sleep now."
Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of the Transplant Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said the wait for a kidney has only gotten longer as the number of people suffering renal failure from high blood pressure or diabetes grows.
"There hasn't been much increase in the willingness of people to donate their organs after they die -- that's been a flat line -- and at the same time there's been an exponential increase in the need for kidneys," Montgomery said.
The idea of kidney swaps has circulated for decades as a way to decrease this wait, but in 2004, Montgomery said, doctors at Johns Hopkins published an article outlining the idea of the extended kidney donor chain.
"Right about 2000-2001 started to get these people calling our transplant centers saying 'I'm healthy, I have two kidneys, I only need one, I don't know anyone who needs one and I'm willing to donate,'" Montgomery said.
Then specialists at Johns Hopkins had the idea to start a chain with these altruistic living donors.
"The chain is always initiated by a donor who doesn't have a recipient," Montgomery said. "Then at the end of the chain we have a left-over kidney."
Closing the Gap in Kidney Donation Waiting Lists
That left-over kidney "closes the chain" and goes to someone on the national waiting list who doesn't have willing donor to continue the line.
While doctors can increase the odds of getting people kidneys by including more links in the chain, the extended surgeries can come with complications -- the logistics of booking multiple operation theatres for surgeries, flights with kidneys that have a 24-36 hour time limit once they're out of the body, and overcoming unforeseen snags.
"What can happen in these paired donations is if one person along the way backs out, or gets sick and can't undergo transplant, then the whole chain needs to be reorganized," Malinzak said.
To increase the odds and decrease the complications, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) has teamed up with Johns Hopkins to develop a national registry for living kidney donation swaps.
"The more pairs you have in the system, the more likely you are to get a match, and that's why we need a national system," said Elizabeth Sleeman, a policy analyst and liaison to the kidney pair donation workgroup at UNOS.
Sleeman said UNOS is limiting the swaps to two- or three-way matches when the database launches in 2010. Montgomery estimates the potential for kidney transplants with the new database could save many lives.
"If we were able to have all the patients in the country who have incompatible donors enter into a pool, then we could do an additional 1,500 transplants a year," Montgomery said. "That is a 25 percent increase over what we currently do."

With all the rapid development east Boulder county residents have endured over the last 15 years, I can relate to the Lafayette group who is starting to act on the up and coming development along Colo. 287 heading north from Colo. 7.
An article in the Daily Camera surfaced last week that shed light on the fact that this large parcel of land will be available for development in 2014. A group of Lafayette residents affected by this have sprung up to hold meetings and pass out informational flyers to the locals. Erie Mayor Joe Wilson responded by saying he was going to give Erie residents what they want.
As an Erie resident, my concerns are many. Until recently, the old Blockbuster space sat empty for three years and still more vacancies in the same strip mall at Colo. 287 and Arapahoe Road. The Safeway there isn't exactly booming! My guess is that the new dental resident will be short lived given that that line of occupation is already saturated here, hence more blight.
There needs to be a balance of smart development and open spaces which seem to be ignored. And I'm always concerned about the dwindling roaming areas for our wildlife. These residents have lived in their rural community for a long time which have fit their lifestyle and needs and appears will be taken away from them soon.
I think Mayor Wilson should be a little more sensitive to this community and know that not all Erie residents want to live with more pavement and less open space. In my opinion, he should concentrate on downtown Erie and the I-25 corridor where most of the Erie growth is.

I watch that movie on Univision at least once a week.
I believe its a word called "love"
jesus that was bad
i didn't say i discovered jack shit except my BHO making skills that took me a while to get my sap like that , i'm from 951 where there's nice and big houses but believe me i ain't privileged
hell ya hatefucks are what make the world go round. our own lil piece of karma CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE GUEDITA THE OL' In Out In Out
I've had my fair share of Dabs, I still prefer my nugs better... still get irie with my blunts and about the same irieness as dabs, Dont need no torch and crazy ass glass, too much of a hassle to handle. Just light it up or burn a hemp rope and do it all natural.
dabs all day..
and i will definitely dab on 4/20.. at coachella.
get a pendant curve and a pocket torch lighter if you want to go into the festival and dab... might be tricky in a crowd but easily portable.
actually the future of THC treatment is going to be inhalers i know this chemist whos working on a way to turn weed into concentrated inhalable powder that would go in things like asthma people use. he says that by the time he perfect the recipe one inhale will deliver a consistent three hour buzz equal to about 1.5 grams of an OG strain but immediate. flamethrowers and base pipes are not the future.
This thread is where you talk about THC like a 16 year old stoner that just read an issue of High Times and wanted to spread the word about this "movement" that you just found out about and then hopelessly try to make guedita like you despite the fact that, as she pointed out, you are a stupid piece of shit.
Your an idiot. BHO has so many residuals and chemicals left behind its sick.
Even with the best vector 8000x distiller butane, food grade or even medical grade butane, lab anyalysis has come back with residuals . Here's some facts your moron.
Also of note: Summary of hazards and composition. Generally "butane" refers to both normal butane and isobutane. Vector is actually three gases including 11% propane. Isobutane and Propane may be more toxic than actual butane:
"SUBSTANCE: Butane Percent: 60.00
CAS#: 106-87-8 Synonyms: n-Butane, Tetrane
SUBSTANCE: iso-Butane Percent: 29.00
CAS#: 75-28-5 Synonyms: 2-Methylpropane, Trlmethylethane
SUBSTANCE: Propane Percent: 11.00
CAS#: 75-98-6 Synonyms: LPG, Dimethylmethane, Propylhydride
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE! Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame."
So it's causing harm a few ways, besides people smoking to a retard state and driving cars around.Quote:
The second problem is that most BHO is not made under hoods in laboratories with safety protocols in place. The BHO sold in dispensaries is mostly made in backyards, motels, tool sheds, and apartments. Most BHO extractors have no safety gear other than an oven mitt. Many extractors say "just air it out, don't smoke, and you will be okay." This is a deadly falsehood and it's time to address the issue so people can take the proper precautions, if they choose to try this at home.
If you were with the times you'd be talking about co2 extraction or some new scientific shit.
If it ain't broke dont fix it....been makin bubble hash in the Himalayas for thousands of years.
Herbs and ice from glaciers. Doesn't get healthier than that...besides maybe eating it edibles made with pesticide free bubble hash.
Back to the lab for more practice you fucking rookie.
everyone knows the REAL future of THC is hot-knifing.
not really lol
I like Jose. When did I ever say I didn't like Jose?
damn a pendant curve!?
i've seen bubblers but a curve would be so dope! but you would have to keep a fat eye on it after you have a fat sesh :rotfl
i love dabs i'm thinking just go run to the campgrounds get high and walk back just medicated BUT if i see someone with a curve you already know!
i love how you think you are someone . i really do . lol you talk shit then use my responses trying to make it seem like that's what i said from the get go , man keep it coming me and my friends are having such a good time going through the shit you say man we already used like 2 popcorn bags , THANKS!
in all honesty i've gotten responses on here from people who say dabs , and dabs all day so ya cool story bro
and guedita fucking digs me , at the end of the day me and her got something special and don't be mad that you gotta kiss her ass to make her like you
butane is just a solvent , butane is minuscule in the amount of a dab you take . let's say in 1 gram there is .000078 amount of butane. how much is that for every dab ?
but regardless butane is VERY easy to get out , it is easily evaporated by warm water and then again by applying heat from a heat lamp is my method and if you look at my picture i would love to see where you think there is butane? cause butane will make the product cloudy and my shit is crystal clear like honey sap
it doesn't matter where you make it . i could be in jail and give me some hot water and a desk lamp and i'll get all the butane out. but the REAL KICKER IS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP PURGING OR ELSE YOUR PRODUCT GETS COOKED . it is a very finesse thing
so trust me man there is no butane in 75 % of home made BHO and the 25 is people like you and dispensaries. i take my shit seriously and it shows in my picture . that's why i posted those pictures to show that i'm not a N00b and smoke 'pure kush'
and regardless if there is . butane is inside your food it is acceptable by the FDA to be consumed. so suck on that bitch
your just an uninformed coachella forum nobody who thinks they are somebody cause they start spewing shit from their mouth like so many people on here which is fine i love it but at some time you gotta educate yourself. go try to make bho and see if it comes out like mine then see how much shit you talk
ya you know charas are basically wax? you get all the resin from the plant and hand roll it and it looks exactly like my earwax . that's what i am doing but in a different manner but same result . the point is you don't need the flower you need the resin the plant is just the host if you really want to medicate wouldn't you get rid of what you don't need?
omg you are the funniest person i've met man if you spewed that shit on toke city you would be in the hall of classic threads
ya i'm the rookie over here talking about 'bubble hash with 'pure' kush man that's my new thing now i got that pure kush! :rofl:
Apparently posting on a message board is a group activity for Jose and his friends.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand steve wins the thread.
^ Retardation perhaps?
The butane and heavy metal contams in ALL BHO cannot be seen by the eye. The amount cannot be detected by a moronic 18 yo either.
Have you ever gotten a lab anyalysis done on any of your product? You fucking idiot. Don't talk about sht you have no clue about. You know how to get high and make shitty BHO.
That's it. Have fun dumbass.
Every Stupid stoner thinks they know better and are a connesuer.
People in the know generally don't need to toot their own horn. So I'm not gonna respond to your assumption that I'm a noob. I been I the game since you were breast feeding though you little shit. So think about everything you have learned about cannabis in the last few years and multiply it by five to get an average of how long I have been ahead of little twerps like you.
Even the best purge and whipping with heat mats, temperature controlled titanium rods in waterdishes with Pyrex cassarol dishes floated in them and overhead ventilation systems does NOT get out all the butane or the chemicals that are contained within. Even lab grade butane. Your vector is dirty ass sht.
Did you read the part when I said we deal with co2 or ice extraction?
My full melt will chump any wax on flavor. My wax and budder were great when I was dumb enough to be making and consuming that garbage about three years ago. What were you in eighth grade then? You fucking toy.
Co2 systems cost thousands of dollars for a reason fucktoy. Butane is cheap (like you and your style) for a reason.
Quality takes time and money. My doctor has access to the co2 system
Dr Allen Frankel. Look him up.
That's who I roll with. That's who's opinion matters. Do you have any degrees? Do you know anything about medicine or health? No! You know how to make shitty wax and combust. Fucking failure.
You have never met me. I you did you would just shut the fuck up. Your a custie, a garage hero, a little kid.
Toke city lol, grass city lol...toycity
in California, buster ass toys like you are a dime a doZen.
You don't have any clue about what your putting into your body. With your hurtin ass Internet degree. What a clown.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Jose Mourinho could shock everybody and stay at Real Madrid beyond this summer, despite the Liga champions' struggles this season.
The Portuguese boss led los Blancos to the title last year, but they currently trail bitter rivals Barcelona by 13 points, and 'The Special One' is facing speculation over his long-term future, with a potential return to Chelsea on the cards.
Yet although many assume this will be the last season at the Bernabeu for Mourinho, the Red Devils boss - who will face his old adversary in the Champions League on Tuesday - doubts whether the 50-year-old will leave.
"You see all these things on Mourinho but he's got two years left on his contract," Ferguson told reporters. "Everyone assumes he'll leave but I heard that last year, too. I'm not certain he'll leave.
"Maybe it's possible because there's no smoke without fire and I'm sure that clubs would love to take him. He's given me no indication. I don't know how they can replace someone like him, anyway. I think he's done a great job there.
"A reasonable assessment of his time at Real Madrid has got to be countered with how good Barcelona have been. They've been an exceptional team.
"Would you really want to let a good coach like that go? I don't think [Real Madrid president Florentino] Perez would want that. So what you are reading about Chelsea and all the rest - I just think it would be difficult for Jose to leave Real Madrid because he's at the top."
While Sir Alex feels Mourinho could stay with Madrid, he admits a lot could rest on whether the Spanish giants progress past his own side in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
"I wouldn't know how they'd react to going out," he continued. "They have that Spanish mentality and have changed their manager that many times over the years.
"For Jose and for Perez and the supporters, the European cup is going to be really important for them this season, there's no doubt about that."

New London firefighter McGuirk dies of cancer at 63
Brendan McGuirk, the veteran New London firefighter whose battle with cancer brought a groundswell of community support last year to help pay for medical treatments, died at age 63 Sunday morning in his Waterford home.
McGuirk was remembered by firefighting friends later Sunday as a large man with a booming voice whom everyone looked up to, a strong "senior guy" in the firehouse who would make everyone live up to the highest standards. But he also would crack people up with his strong political opinions and a penchant for humor that harked back to a time when political correctness wasn't a consideration.
"He would give you his honest opinion, whether you wanted it or not," said Michael Passero, a city councilor who also serves as a New London firefighter.
He was a guy younger firefighters looked up to, someone who didn't hesitate to take on the most mundane job.
"He was always right in the middle of the stuff that other guys might be less willing to do, such as scrubbing toilets," recalled Pete Lynch, a former city firefighter now working in Hamden. "No one ever did a good enough job."
"He was an unbelievable, one-of-a-kind guy," added Steve Wargo, a lieutenant in the New London department. "He loved being a fireman. He gave 100 percent every day he came to work."
Lynch recalled that McGuirk also worked as a longshoreman at the port of New London and previously had been a submariner with the U.S. Navy.
"It's hard to get more rugged than that," he said.
Cancer took a toll on McGuirk, but he maintained his fighting spirit to the end. Lynch said he saw McGuirk at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York after he became partially paralyzed, but his friend was still working hard at his physical therapy sessions hoping to get back to his pals at the firehouse.
"The dude thought he was going back to work," Lynch marveled.
"It's the greatest job in the world," McGuirk said in an interview last year when asked about his firefighting career. "A lot of people hate going to work in the morning. Not me. There's camaraderie like you'll never find in any other job."
Last year, firefighters held a series of benefits to help McGuirk pay for medical bills, including the "Go Bald for a Brother" annual cancer fundraiser sponsored by the Mohegan Tribal firefighters and the Eastern Connecticut Emerald Society.
McGuirk could not attend the event because he was recovering from surgery to remove a spinal tumor. He previously had fought off both liver cancer and thyroid cancer.
McGuirk's love affair with firefighting dates back to 1968, when he served as a young volunteer. He officially joined the New London department in 1974.
"He knew where every fire hydrant was in the city," Lynch said.
Firefighters said McGuirk was one of those guys who would be the first to rush into a burning building. Members of the force were so passionate about McGuirk that they took turns donating their vacation time so that he and his wife, Marianna, could continue counting on a paycheck every week.
"I don't think he lost one paycheck," Wargo said.
Some firefighters even went so far as to purchase a van for McGuirk after his vehicle became undrivable.
As much as people pitched in for McGuirk, friends say it would be hard to identify anyone more giving than McGuirk himself. A gruff guy on the exterior, he was always the first to help out comrades in their time of need.
At the center of his life were his grandchildren, and friends remember that McGuirk rarely missed one of their athletic contests.
"He leaves an immense hole. He was bigger than life," Wargo said. "It's hard to believe that he's gone."
Calling hours for McGuirk will be Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Impellitteri-Malia Funeral Home, 84 Montauk Ave., New London. His funeral will assemble at 10 a.m. on Wednesday and proceed to a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. in St. Joseph Church. Interment with military honors will be in St. Mary Cemetery.

SOCIAL DIARY: The pedigree of Parfums Azzaro's next fragrance spokeswoman is nothing to sniff at, according to sources in London. Rumor has it that Jemima Khan, daughter of Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart and the late tycoon Sir James Goldsmith, will front a new Azzaro campaign — possibly for the brand's upcoming high-end scent that is due this fall. Khan is a columnist and UNICEF U.K. ambassador who was once married to Pakistani cricketer and politician Imran Khan. Parfums Azzaro's president, Gérard Delcour, and a Khan spokeswoman declined comment on the speculation.
CHECKS AND BALANCES: Charlotte Gainsbourg swept into Balenciaga's show Tuesday wearing the perfect outfit for a rainy Tuesday morning in Paris: a tiered and sculptural Macintosh-style coat from Nicolas Ghesquière's pre-fall collection. Any movies? Fashion projects? Cannes film festival, perhaps? "Nothing," she cooed.
That's not the case for French actress Mélanie Laurent, who said she's penning her first screenplay, a drama, and playing a role in a new François Favrat film. Her character? "A bourgeois woman," Laurent said, noting she's relishing wardrobe possibilities and intends to give some input. "We're working on it."
LOYAL FAN: Count on Catherine Deneuve to turn up at the opening of an Yves Saint Laurent store. The grande dame of French cinema — a friend of the brand's namesake founder and a loyal customer — has been doing it for decades. "She went to the opening on Rue de Tournon in 1966," noted PPR boss François-Henri Pinault as Deneuve checked out YSL's new-look boutique in Saint-Sulpice Monday night along with a gaggle of film stars and models.
Since she parted ways with Estée Lauder last summer, model Liya Kebede has a forthcoming role in an indie film and is working on the second collection for her children's apparel brand Lemlem, a line of handwoven clothing made in Ethiopia. "I always wanted to do something to help the garment industry in Africa," she said, adding that Bono's [Red] project was an inspiration. "What we want right now is more aggressive strategies like that."
Actress Joana Preiss, meanwhile, is promoting her debut album with a concert in Paris next week and is set to DJ at a Rock & Republic party at the Hotel Crillon this weekend. Preiss arrived at the soiree with gal pals Audrey Marnay and Spanish actress Arly Jover. Jover said she's working on a new film called "Little Ashes." "It's about the life and loves of Salvador Dali," she said.
SOUNDS LIKE: Rock & Roll, arguably Paris' most stylish young indie band, just can't get away from the fashion scene. To wit: singer Gricha Berekachvili, a dead ringer for a young Bob Dylan with his mop of chocolate curls, has a DJ set Thursday at Paris' Truscoll bar, alongside Mark Kamins, famous for having helped launch Madonna's career. Yet the band, which is featured in Roberto Cavalli's current men's campaign, can get satiated with an all-fashion diet. "I would rather people ask me about the songs I'm writing than fashion," Berekachvili said in a recent interview. So what's his latest track about? "It's called 'Coke Freaks and Fashion Whores,'" he said. "It's inspired by our time spent hanging out in Milan."

I'd like to humbly direct your attention to a bit of housekeeping. One of the interesting things about a blog is the fact that it's organic. It grows along with its writer, and as you feel your way through it, you're able to go back and make adjustments from time to time. I've found it necessary to make one now.
For some time, I've had a "Museums" category that I think I've neglected a little. Given my background in museums, I'd like to explore public history subjects more extensively, but it seems to me that the "Museums" heading is too narrow to encompass some of these topics, such as historic sites and preservation. I've accordingly replaced it with the more inclusive "Museums and Historic Sites."
I've also decided to eliminate the awkward "Battlefields" category. It was a sort of catch-all heading for posts dealing with military history sites. I'm re-assigning most of these posts to the new "Museums and Historic Sites" group, where they belong. "Battlefields" posts that don't fit there will remain under their other designations—American Revolution, Civil War, and so on.
I realize that most of you could've done without this explanation, but I'm rather obsessive-compulsive, and it sure made me feel better.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: School Partners
Topic Overview
Your child's teachers, school nurse, cafeteria staff, and physical education teachers can become helpful partners as your child copes with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)) at school.
If you can, meet with your child's teachers and help them learn about JIA. Work with them to develop creative ways of dealing with your child's limitations and making the best of his or her abilities.
- If your child has trouble walking distances, see whether your child's classes can be scheduled to minimize walking and stair climbing. It may also help to have two sets of books for classes. One set can be left in the classrooms, and the other can be kept at home so your child doesn't have to carry them to and from school.
- If your child gets stiff sitting still during class, encourage him or her to wiggle around and stretch during the class. Help the teacher and other students understand that this isn't just "fidgeting." Ask that your child be allowed to get up and walk around a bit during class if possible (perhaps to collect homework or pass out assignments).
- If your child has trouble writing neatly, he or she might try using a larger pencil or pen. Wrapping foam around a pencil to make it easier to grip may help. An older child may be able to use a tape recorder to take notes. Ask for the teacher's acceptance and understanding of occasional messy handwriting.
- Ask your child's physical or occupational therapist for other ideas. There are many ways to modify activities and school work. The Arthritis Foundation website provides information for parents and teachers about managing JIA at school.
- Be aware of your child's rights under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and other federal and state laws regarding the education of children with disabilities. The Arthritis Foundation is a source of information about these laws.

Recent flybys by Cassini as well as the touchdown of its Huygens probe in January 2005 found a dearth of liquid at lower latitudes, though plenty of channels where it might have run. Instead, vast dunes of sandlike grains composed of hydrocarbons dominate Titan's equatorial region. Yet, dense layers of smog--comprising methane and nitrogen--swath the moon. Methane's continued presence in Titan's atmosphere is puzzling, because sunlight eventually breaks it down to ethane. "Either we are witnessing a very fortunate time in Titan's history," notes Ralph Lorenz, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, "or the methane is buffered somehow."
This led some, including the late scientist Carl Sagan, to argue for a globe-encompassing sea of methane, or the ethane that results from it. No such sea was discovered, of course, leaving the mystery of Titan's methane unresolved. Now there seems to be evidence for at least some liquid on the moon's surface. "There may be a seasonal cycle in which methane accumulates and evaporates," Lorenz says. "Or it may be that [the lakes] are stagnant."
The Cassini spacecraft used radar to capture images of the lakes while passing the moon last July 22, sending radar information from a stretch of terrain nearly 4,000 miles long and more than 80 miles across. Within this broad area at least 75 dark patches appeared, ranging from under two miles to more than 40 miles wide. "The radar properties of the lakes are consistent with them either being liquids or deposits of very smooth, unconsolidated material: fine particles like very loose soil," Stofan explains. "The material fills topographic lows, some have apparent river channels leading into them and, unlike other areas of Titan, there are no dunes in this area, suggesting a lack of loose, fine material. All of this data together convinced us that these are fluid-filled lakes."
It is not clear exactly what fluid fills the lakes--most likely some combination of methane and ethane--or how they are filled--either through a weather system of methane evaporation from lake surfaces followed by hydrocarbon rain or via liquid stored below the surface (a "methanifer" rather than an aquifer). "All of these--the methanifer, the lakes, the methane in the atmosphere--are part of an active cycle that is likely to be varying seasonally," Stofan adds. "All are interacting with each other to create a dynamic system--something we have not seen on any planet other than Earth."
Future flybys in coming months and years should reveal how the lakes vary seasonally, as northern Titan progresses from its long, dark winter into summer, as well as whether lakes exist elsewhere on its surface. A similar object--dubbed Lake Ontario for its size and shape--was seen near the summery southern pole during earlier observations and so far only 15 percent of the moon's surface has been mapped. But it will take a mission dedicated specifically to exploring Titan--perhaps by balloon--to determine the nature and extent of these lakes. "Titan has long been thought to be a world with all of the building blocks of life, with what is referred to as prebiotic chemistry taking place on the surface," Stofan says. "We would love to know if things like amino acids have formed in or near these lakes."
"Titan is more interesting than we thought," Lorenz adds. "There are very few things that we thought could be possible that Titan hasn't graced us with." The paper presenting the finding is published in the January 4 Nature.

Scene & Heard: Oyster Ball
Jennifer Pellegrino and Gloria Gunning attended the Oyster Ball at Ryleigh's. The Oyster Ball was aptly named. About 150 folks filled Ryleigh's Oyster Bar to fill up on oysters and raise money for the Oyster Recovery Partnership and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The ice sculpture of a mermaid out front was about the only one not sipping champagne or slurping oysters on the half shell. This is the third year, and each year it gets bigger. It gets some folks outside of the city to come here and feast on oysters, said Scotti Offutt, Ryleigh's marketing and events manager, who had organized the party. It's great to see people come together for a good time that's also for a good cause, said Bryan Gomes, Oyster Recovery Partnership special programs manager. It's oysters and champagne. How can you not get excited? asked Jerry Pellegrino, chef/owner of Corks Restaurant and Waterfront Kitchen, who was there with his wife, Jen Pellegrino, Corks event coordinator. I came last year and came back because it's a great party and great oysters. And I support the program because I want to continue to love oysters, said Brittany Webster, Thornton's Pub bartender, who had just made a trip to the raw bar, where the line stayed constant. Meantime, Larry Storck, Nyquist Inc. sales representative, had planted himself at one end of the raw bar so that he could enjoy the mollusks as soon as shucker John Meyers had them ready. It is a little intimidating when people are waiting to take them off the tray as soon as I put them down. But it's a good warm-up for the shucking competition, said Meyers. Then there was another potential warm-up noted by Pellegrino. It's a bunch of guys eating oysters, and girls in high heels. It's trouble waiting to happen. -- Sloane Brown

Hurricane Sandy was our worst nightmare realized. This monster storm packed as much energy as two World War II era atomic bombs, causing massive destruction, the likes of which had not been seen since the Long Island Express of 1938, a now legendary Category III hurricane. Trapped on an island jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, we were front and center when Sandy attacked with a vengeance. Thousands of homes were inundated with seawater and sewage. Hundreds were left uninhabitable. Two and a half years later, we continue to rebuild our tattered shoreline. In this series we will look in the coming months at the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery's ongoing effort to reconstruct worst-case homes, businesses and communities that Sandy ravaged on Oct. 29, 2012 — and the myriad issues that residents and officials face as they piece together our shredded infrastructure. At the same time, we will look at state and local officials' efforts to reinforce Long Island in the hope that we might be able to withstand nature's fury better when the next monster storm hits. —Scott Brinton, senior editor more

ATLANTA - B.J. Upton is excited about the possibility of a family reunion in the Braves' outfield.
Upton signed a five-year, $75.25 million contract with Atlanta in November. After hearing the Braves may be pursuing a trade with Arizona for his younger brother, Justin Upton, B.J. said on his Twitter account:
"Wow these @JUS10UP10 rumors have me excited. Please don't tease me like this... Would be a dream come true if it happens."
Braves general manager Frank Wren said Wednesday the team has payroll flexibility to make another move. Wren would not say if the team is pursuing Justin Upton.
"We continue to monitor what's available on the market," Wren said. "If we feel like there's something that can help us and get us over the top, we're going to continue to explore. We have flexibility in talent and prospects if we get in a trade situation and we have financial flexibility to add payroll. If those opportunities present themselves, we'll be in the mix."
The Upton brothers and right fielder Jason Heyward would give the Braves one of baseball's best outfields. Heyward won his first Gold Glove in 2012, when he hit .269 with 27 homers and 82 RBIs.
Justin Upton, 25, had his best year in 2011, when he hit .289 with 31 homers and 88 RBIs and finished fourth in the MVP voting. He hit .280 with 17 homers, 67 RBIs and 18 stolen bases last season.
Martin Prado is expected to move from left field to third place to replace Chipper Jones, who has retired.
At his first news conference after signing with the Braves, B.J. Upton said he and his brother want to play in the same outfield.
"That's been a big, big topic of conversation," said B.J. Upton.
The Diamondbacks had agreed to a deal to trade Justin Upton to Seattle earlier this month but the player vetoed it. Seattle was among four teams that Upton's contract said that he could nix. Atlanta is not on that list.
Upton has been the subject of trade speculation throughout the offseason. He is the most marketable of Arizona's glut of outfielders. The outfield became more crowded with the free agent signing of Cody Ross late last month.

Week 76 - Friday
by, March 14th, 2014 at 12:21 PM (976 Views)
I had a good nights sleep last night and was at the pool early eager to get in and swim. Oh how I am enjoying my swimming right now. Todays workout was tough with some fast broken swims after doing our 15x100 test set.
Warm up
400 free with snorkel
10x50 catchup on 45
Main Sets
15x100 swum 5,4,3,2,1 starting at 1.20 and dropping 5 seconds per round
200 easy
3x(50 AFAP to feet straight into 4x50 kick on 55)
100 easy
1 Broken 500 swum as 200,100,200 with 20 seconds after the 200 and 10 seconds after the 100
200 easy
1 Broken 100 swum as 25,50,25 with 5 seconds after 25, and 10 seconds after the 50
Warm down
300 easy
Total 4350 scy
On the 15x100 I was holding 1.02s until the last 3 and went 1mins on the two on 1.05 and 57 on the last 100 on 1min. I was very happy with this. On the broken 500 and broken 100 we went from a push and did turns at each distance and finished with a hand finish. I went 5.02 on the 500 and according to Tom I was 1min per 100 throughout. I was very happy with how I paced this. On the broken 100 I went 49.7 and felt strong throughout.
I really enjoyed this workout. The 500 was tough mentally but in a sick way I enjoyed it and was pleased with my pace on this. The 100 was a nice surprise.

Hi, Linda! I also hit some rain coming here this afternoon around 5:00 right in the middle of the Smokies. It was kinda scary, but thankfully it didn't last long or get too heavy. It was a 6 hour drive down I-40 from Raleigh for me. I just discovered your blog. Look forward to meeting you.ReplyDelete
Sounds like our trip too! Not much fun at all.ReplyDelete
Thanks Greta & Jennifer.ReplyDelete
