As I was typing the last post I had had my home phone sitting in lap calling my best friend, Medricks his phone went to voice mail. I hung up thinking o.k perhaps is is getting ready for the con, or working. I did find it odd that I did not hear from him all day, since it was my first weekend off in months. but I did not worry because our t.v shows did not come on until Sunday and we would catch up then.
Sunday morning, No Medricks. Text messages sent,no response. Unanswered phone calls went to voice mail.. Then Sunday night @ 10:50 I got this message….
" This is Med sis, Sorry to say that he passed away"
I think I stopped breathing for a few seconds. I put my phone down, Thinking this a joke…. No! He would do that. So I picked up my phone and called him… On the first ring, a women answers….
I remember leaning on the wall crying.. She started telling me they found him in his room. He passed away in his sleep. I am screaming in my head NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!
Medricks and I had been friend for over 25 years. He saw me through a marriage, divorce, two kids and was with me when I buried my husband. He mad me laugh when I wanted to cry, assured me that men DO like shaved legs ( and other lady parts). Laughed at me when I still had dial up in 2002. I sat with him through break ups, a very crazy girl friend ( well two) advice on buying women clothes (which he became very good at). Yelled and fussed at him for not taking his meds and taking care of himself and BOY did he do the same to me.
We spent our free time together although he lived 4 hours away from each other. But Between Skype, hang outs, face book and the phone you would never know it. We watched tv together, yelled and gasped at the characters. We knew everything about each others lives. Not having him in my life anymore will not be easy. He was the man in my life, and I was his "Bottom Bitch" or his BB. ( Yes, that is a good thing)
In the past few months our "I love You" was starting to have a different meaning. Perhaps it was out of us both looking for something to fill full us. But either way he is gone now, and my heart is broken. I am dealing with another major loss in my life, and I am feeling loss and alone in the world once again.
This is what he did in public! LOL Miss you my Love… Rest in Peace..

Stock prices natural event both day according to the markets pursuit. Buyers and player produce prices to correction and for this reason ration prices regulation as a effect of endow and call for. And it's this art involving buyers and sellers, hand and need that decides how expensive all measure is.
If much individuals privation to buy a helping than deal in it, the price tag goes up. Conversely, if much people deprivation to flog a proportion than buy it, there's more indefinite quantity (sellers) than demand (buyers), and the damage goes downhill.
Shares stand for relation in a institution. So even if you own in recent times one single slice of a company, you own a part of the pack of it no matter how little. Therefore, the asking price of a quota indicates what investors have a feeling the ensemble is assessment.Post ads:

Stock prices can pass the time sturdy for months or fluctuate violently which is referred to as volatility. There are hundreds of variables that propulsion timeworn prices, but the most big one is profit. Attributable earnings can be delineate as the income of a guests after taxes and all otherwise deductions i.e. it's the net net profit.
There's recurrently the misconception, specially next to beginners, that a ration that has up will e'er fall, or a part that has down will e'er get up. Vice-versa, there's besides the idea that a allowance that has risen will ever go on to soar. This is not the casing though! Stock prices point the involvement of investors, not the law of gravity!
However, no flea market operates in a emptiness. In a borderless and interconnected worldwide like-minded the pigs market, the slightest unfounded information or peril of war, mounting oil prices or a little something charge per unit hikes for instance, can detonate a spontaneous effect on world markets which after react sharp and highly strung.Post ads:

To engineer matters worse, markets too move to less grim intelligence and events same a creep of the lingo. One inaccurate speech said by boob by an analyst or representative can incentive a manacle criticism and fearfulness causation the markets into red dominion.
But whichever way the wind blows, prices can get to your feet as immediately as they brutal peculiarly after someones bungle speech communication the untrue entity. Once investors locomote to their senses over again the cattle markets can even switch on to boom the self day once again.
We may not be competent to anticipate the forces that causes the markets to activeness any up or down, but by analysing and compassion them, we will be improved accoutred to windward the lows and break for the periodic event of chance to curved shape.
It can conspicuously be said though, that it is main to e'er consider a ensemble on it's essentials. In the long term, good, solid and strengthened companies with polite principle typically official document to their concrete merit and strength, ironing out speculations supported on rumours and innuendos.

Sarah Hyland is back home and on the mend after her recent health scare.
The 27-year-old Modern Family star shocked fans on Thursday night when she posted on Instagram Stories a selfie showing her sporting a swollen face in a hospital room. She said she was admitted on Monday and was "torn from work against my will." She did not reveal her ailment. In 2012, Hyland revealed she underwent a kidney transplant after battling kidney dysplasia. In 2017, she said her face is swollen from life-saving medication, noting the popular steroid Prednisone.
"Sarah had a scare and was hospitalized," a source told People on Saturday. "It was scary but thankfully she is better and is home."
The actress is currently missing her boyfriend, former Bachelorette star Wells Adams, who recently flew to Mexico to film Bachelor in Paradise season five. The two went public with their relationship late last year.

What will the human resources managers of tomorrow be focusing on in 2018?
Workforce Magazine convened a panel of HR thought leaders and top HR Executives from companies such as Infosys, Southwest Airlines, Ernst & Young and Yahoo. Others included those from the academic world, John Haggerty, MD of executive education at Cornell University's Center for Advanced Human Resources Studies, David Ulrich, business professor from University of Michigan and John Boudreau of University of Southern California.
Key areas they forecast for future planning included 'millennials' will redefine jobs, doing more work at home and taking home to work. It was predicted that the labour market will potentially be more like an 'eBay' bidding war than the current Monster, SEEK and Yahoo Jobs format. Companies are more likely to engage in 'crowd sourcing' with LinkedIn playing a ever stronger position in the labour market.
Talent branding and leveraging current employees to engage future employees will play an important place for marketing savvy HR leaders.
HR will also play a stronger place in the executive board room with experts predicting the odds as high as 100% that we will start to see top HR executives become CEO's of at least one Fortune 500 firm by 2018.
Is this indicating that companies are finally starting to get serious around the value of HR?
Definitely the studies and metrics are proving that strong HR engagement pays off in the long term, so why are so many companies slow to the uptake?
Other predictions included a stronger focus on infrastructures around value of relationship building. Vehicles such as social networks and wiki's will gain greater momentum as standard in the workplace to support building strong collaboration and relationship value.
The structure of work is viewed as becoming less formal and more adaptive around teams and being solution focused, rather than 'job description' focused.
There was slight disagreement amongst the panel on communication styles with some predicting a lash back on non-verbal methods of communication such as SMS, instant messaging systems (IMS) and email to communicate, with a return to talking over phone.
Talent retention will become more strategically positioned for long term business sustainability, with those ignoring this bearing the consequences.
Pace of change?
One area all panelists agreed on was the pace of change that will impact HR. All agreed the pace of change within the HR profession over the past 5 years was faster than the last 15 years and will only get faster…
Catch your breath as we seem to be in for a faster pace ahead for HR.
What are your predictions for the future of HR?

Here now the photos I got from Massimo. In four weeks they will be available at least.
And so they should be look painted.
We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72. As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog. Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

Throughout the world, more and more students are obtaining college degrees and reaching their educational goals through distance and e-learning programs. Now it is easier than ever to make education a part of your daily life because the industry of online and distance education is growing so very rapidly.
But students, educators, and all people interested in distance education and e-learning programs should know about the importance of obtaining a college degree from a college, university, or other institution of higher education with accreditation. They should also know about the dangers of obtaining a degree or diploma from an institution without accreditation.
It is easier to understand the importance of accreditation if you know how accreditation works.
World Wide Learn strives to provide you with the information you need to know about the different types of accreditation. Use this section as a resource to find out about the different types of accreditation and how accreditation types affect your education.
Types of Accreditation
There is not just one type of accreditation. In fact, different educational institutions and other kinds of institutions require specific types of accreditation status.
Some kinds of institutions that require accreditation status are:
- Public institutions
- Private institutions
- For-profit institutions
- Non-profit institutions
- Single-purpose institutions
- Private career institutions
- Faith-based colleges and universities
- Distance learning colleges and universities
- Law schools
- Medical schools
- Heath profession educational programs
Only one kind of accreditation would not be sufficient to address the accrediting needs of the various institutions that require accreditation status. This is why accreditation organizations provide two major types of accreditation. They are:
- Institutional accreditation
- Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation
These two major kinds of accreditation are used for quality review, assessment, and assurance of institutions all over the world.
1. Institutional Accreditation
Institutional accreditation status is achieved by a college or university that meets the quality standards and fulfills the requirements designated by the accreditation organization.
In order to meet the requirements for institutional accreditation status, all aspects of the college or university, including academic quality, administrative effectiveness, and all other related services of the institution, are reviewed by the accreditation organization.
Institutional accreditation affirms that the college or university operates with a high level of quality in all its aspects. This type of accreditation is comprehensive and indicates that the institution has achieved quality standards in areas such as faculty, administration, curriculum, student services, and overall financial well-being. This type of accreditation is held in high regard in the world of education.
2. Specialized, Professional, or Programmatic Accreditation
Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation is a type of accreditation status that is designated for specialized departments, programs, schools, or colleges within a college or university that have already been awarded institutional accreditation.
Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation focuses on particular aspects of the department, program, school, or college's specified academic field of study. For instance, this type of accreditation status recognizes particular aspects of quality in the academic fields of engineering, nursing, law, or education, among others.
Some professions that are regulated by and dependent upon a state or national licensing board may require job applicants to have graduated from specific academic programs that have specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation status. Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation organizations operate all over the United States, reviewing programs and single-service institutions.
Students who are considering enrolling in a college degree program should know the requirements of their future career field and what it takes to become a licensed practitioner in that field. Students should look for programs that have achieved specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation status in order to ensure their eligibility for professional licensure in states that require it.
Regional and National Accreditation
Institutional accreditation organizations can be further categorized into two sections: regional and national accreditation organizations. Regional and national organizations each have particular functions and specific geographical areas that they cover.
Regional Accrediting Organizations
Regional accreditation organizations perform the accreditation process in six regions of the United States. These accreditation organizations review institutions in their entirety. According to CHEA, 98 percent of the institutions reviewed by regional accreditation organizations are nonprofit and degree granting, though these accreditation organizations may also review for-profit, non-degree-granting institutions on some rare occasions. Institutions reviewed by regional accreditation organizations are both public and private and can be two-year or four-year educational institutions.
National Accrediting Organizations
National accreditation organizations perform the accreditation process throughout the United States and review institutions in their entirety. According to CHEA, 34.8 percent of the institutions in the United States that are nationally accredited are degree-granting. 65.1 percent are non-degree-granting. 20.4 percent of the institutions with national accreditation are non-profit, while 79.4 percent are for-profit. Some of these institutions are faith-based or single-purpose institutions, like distance learning colleges and universities. Nationally accredited institutions can be public or private.

Tony Joe's first single was 'Ten More Miles To Louisiana' / 'Georgia Pines'. It was recorded in December 1966 and produced by Ray Stevens. The title song sounded like a mixture between the Beatles and Herman's Hermits - it was lightyears away from the famous swamp-rock sound of later years. It took almost two more years until the second single ('Watching The Trains Go By' and 'Old Man Willis') was recorded in October 1968, but it also failed. It is interesting to note that actually 'Polk Salad Annie' was the successor of 'Old Man Willis' - and not the other way round as one could guess from the popularity of 'Polk Salad Annie' and also from the order in which the two songs appear on long-play albums. Tony Joe White's third single ('I Protest' / 'A Man Can Only Stand Just So Much Pain') was recorded three months later in January 1968 and comes much closer to the famous swamp-rock sound - but it didn't do too well either.
After those first few singles went unnoticed, 'Soul Francisco' broke in - of all places - Paris, France. On August 1, 1968, Monument got a cable from overseas (from Disques Barclay in France) requesting a rush shipment of Tony Joe White records, bios and photos. A few days later the radio station Monte Carlo, Monaco played "Soul Francisco" and during the next 30 minutes received more than 100 phone calls from listeners wanting to hear it again. Fans in Belgium were soon clamoring for Tony Joe White appearances at their discotheques. Radio stations in Germany, Spain, Japan and the Philippines picked up the tune, too.
Tony Joe White received a request from one of the foremost disk jockies in France - Pierre Lattes - to call him - with the result that France-Inter (the national French radio network) aired a 30 minute live, Houston-to-Paris interview.
"I often wonder about that. Why did it start in Paris? Especially in those days - they didn't
understand English at all. But I would watch these people talk and dance around when I was
playing over there. They were just dancing their hearts out. I kew they couldn't understand
what I was singing, but they felt what I was singing. I used to see guys and women dressed up
like some of the characters in my songs, even in rural France and places way out in the woods.
There's a lot of swampy people over there."
Meanwhile, Tony Joe had been promoting his "Polk Salad Annie" single in the clubs around Corpus Christi, where he lived at that time. The record, which had been out for nine months (since December of 1968), had been written of by Monument as a dud.
"They had done given up on it, but we kept getting all these people in Texas coming to the clubs and buying the record. So we would send up to Nashville saying, 'Send us a thousand more this week.' They would send us these 'Do Not Sell' examples, so we would have to sit down and mark out the 'Do Not Sell' and then send them to the record stores. All these stores in South Texas kept calling our house saying, 'We need more.' So we just kept hanging on. And finally a guy in L.A. picked it up and got it across. Otherwise, 'Polk' could have been lost forever."
The single entered the U.S. charts in July 1969, climbing into the pop top 10 by early fall. It topped on place eight and was the biggest hit Tony Joe White ever had.
Here are the exact top 10 placings of 'Polk Salad Annie':
August, 9th: place 9
August, 16th: place 8
August, 23rd: place 8
August, 30th: place 8
Critics named Tony Joe's music "swamp rock". White was not the only exponent of swamp music, but he's the one who took it to the world.
Swamp music comes from that part of country music which originated in the lowlands of the South, the area where black and white people used to work side by side in the fields. It is remarkably different from the mountain influences of country music, which retained something of the old English folk song approach.
And of course, lowlands country music was more into the blues than were the mountain musicians. Thus swamp music has found equal following among both white and colored people.
"Polk Salad" was followed by "Roosevelt And Ira Lee" and "Save Your Sugar For Me" - both minor hits of 1969-70. "Groupy Girl" entered the english top 20.
Tony Joe White toured with Steppenwolf, Sly and the Family Stone, Creedence Clearwater Revival and other big rock acts of the 70's. He played in France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and England.
Three records for Monument (1968-70) and three more for Warner Bros. (1971-73) are now all collectibles, for Tony Joe White has attained the status of a true cult figure.
In 1969 Tony Joe lived in Corpus Christi, Texas, with his wife Le Ann and two kids, but he dearly missed the swamp country.
"I got a brother back there and we go fishing together. Every now and then, I go back down there and get some soul food for song ideas. I thing you gotta have been raised in swamp country to really get in there and funk it up. It is very truthful and you can't fake it."
In 1973 Tony Joe White appeared in his first (and so far only) movie. The musical 'Catch My Soul' was directed by Patrick McGoohan and produced in the UK by Richard Rosenbloom and Jack Good. The cast included Richie Havens, Season Hubley, Susan Tyrrell, Bonnie Bramlett, Lance LeGault, Delaney Bramlett and Family Lotus.
Basically 'Catch My Soul' is a rock-opera adaption of Shakespeare's Othello, with Havens as
sanctimonious preacher and LeGault as his Iago. Tony Joe White played and sung four and composed
seven songs for this musical.

To contact our on-call vet for an emergency service, please call our office number at (620)241-7322 and listen to the phone number on the answering machine. This is the number that you will need to call to contact our on call doctor.
If you do not have an emergency, you may leave a message on the answering machine and we will call you back the next business day.
Use of the after hours/emergency phone number for non-emergencies could be subject to consultation fee.
Please be aware that multiple emergencies can happen at any given time and that the on call doctor may not answer your call immediately. If so, please leave a message with your name, phone number and summary of emergency so that your call may be returned.
