Scottish Terrier Breeders | Scottish Terrier Puppies for sale-Breeder
If the breeder answers "no," ask what they know about the parents, grandparents and siblings of their breeding stock. Most casual breeders know nothing about the health of their dogs' relatives. Skin problems are hereditary and will be a 10-15 year pain and expense for you and your Scottie! (8) Have the sire and dam been DNA-tested "clear" of the VWD gene? If the answer is "yes" for either parent you guarantee your Scottie will not have vonWillebrand's Disease, a devastating bleeding disorder. Most commercial breeders are unaware of the VWD DNA test, or do not want to spend [more...]

Panda Bear Stuffed Animals & Facts
They have been classed with the raccoon family but according to some reports, in the late 80s following DNA testing, pandas were thought to be closer relatives of bears. With the pandas teddy like appearance it's no wonder they are referred to as panda bears or in the world of plush, panda bear stuffed animals. The history of the panda is an interesting one, dating back some two million years according to the first discovered skull found in China. Based on the research, it is believed that pandas have evolved over a period of three million years, totally separate from the lineage of other [more...]

Lundberg, Earth Balance Sponsor Non-GMO Month
The process of genetic modification, which takes place in a laboratory, typically merges DNA from different species, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. Virtually all commercial GMOs are bred to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. None of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increase yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition or any other consumer benefit. The Grocery Manufacturers Association estimates GMOs currently are in approximately 80 percent of [more...]

But the Army/Montana team, using a new software system developed by the military for analyzing proteins, uncovered a new DNA-based virus, and established a linkage to the fungus, called N. ceranae. The big breakthrough here was identifying the virus using the Army's new software. In combination with the fungus, the new virus – dubbed IIV – was able to wipe out bee hives with 100% efficacy. Scientists are still not completely sure the sequence of events or even why this started happening to American honeybees and not Australian variants, for example.

Leadership in the village of Quinhagak agreed today to let Knecht do DNA analyses of the hair, which might tell if the piles of locks came only from males. If so, it could be a good sampling of the village's male population. Teams of diggers also found many big animal shoulder bones that may have been used as snow shovels.

Junk DNA: When The Science Hits The Fan -- Changes Edition
Carotenoids are made and reside in chloroplasts along with chlorophyll. These yellow and orange pigments are always present, however the number of chlorophyll molecules far outnumbers the amount of carotenoid molecules. Therefore, the green chlorophyll color masks the yellow and orange pigments during the growing seasons. As the nights get longer, chlorophyll production comes to a halt and all of the residual chlorophyll in the leaf is broken down. When this happens, the underlying carotenoid pigments become visible. Anthyocyanin is the last major type of pigment present in leaves. In [more...]

Cells are crowded with macromolecules such as proteins, RNA and DNA. Using a Brownian dynamics simulation of an Escherichia coli cytoplasm model, Georgia Tech researchers propose that crowding and hydrodynamic interactions dominate in vivo macromolecular motion. The motion of macromolecules within cells is normally random, occurring through Brownian motion that causes the molecules to diffuse through the cellular cytoplasm, which has viscosity similar to that of water. Researchers have studied the movement of fluorescent protein molecules injected into E. coli cells, but don't yet understand [more...]

For this reason, many countries do not allow genetically altered plants to be shipped to their land. Gardening organic is the [more...]

Installing Cubicle Showers
It is very easy to get shower cubicles that can fit almost any kind of bathroom shape. With the up gradation of technology with time, cubicles are available in all designs with such features that can be easily changed. This article throws light on the various kinds of cubicles that are available and also tells you about the effects of having certain kinds of cubicles in your bathroom.
Square Shower Cubicle: This is most common and the widely bought cubicle among the people. It is very easy to install as it just requires two free walls that are next to each other to which it will be attached. Then glass sides will be attached to the other tow sides to make it into a square cubicle. This can also be easily installed in the corner of the bathroom and helps to make enough space. The types of doors that can be installed in this kind of cubicle can be a hinge door that swings open or a sliding door that can run up and down a track. Both of them can be easily maintained.
Quadrant Shower Cubicle: This cubicle is designed to fit in the corner of any kind of bathroom. This also requires two walls for the purpose of attachment. The front portion is of a round shape. The shower doors that can be installed are hinged door or sliding door. This kind of shower cubicle is very fashionable and trendy and hence is very much in demand by the people.
D-Shaped Shower Cubicle: This design of cubicle needs only one wall to be attached to. The wall of this enclosure is rounded from one wall to the other. The doors that can be used here can again be either hinged or sliding. This is considered as the most elegant shower with various designs.
Smart Storage Ideas For Your Bathrooms
Most of us ignore the importance of a storage space inside our bathroom. Storage spaces in the bathroom are a necessity because towels, soaps, shampoos, toilet papers, toilet cleaners etc need to be stored in the bathroom itself. Thus here are certain storage ideas for your bathroom.
If your bathroom is big then you can easily install big cupboards and cabinets in your bathroom. Incase you have a small bathroom then hang flower baskets off your ceiling and store the toiletries in those baskets. You can even utilize decorated shoe boxes to store things in your bathroom.
Installing a clothing rack behind the bathroom door and on any walls of the bathroom where it will be convenient can be a very good storage option for you. Use the space below the bathroom sink to store certain things.
Remember to keep all the things in the bathroom in an organized and tidy manner. Avoid storing useless things.
Decorate your bathroom oriental style
Oriental décor has a very unique and calming effect in any room. We do pay a lot attention to make our living rooms or bedrooms decorated in oriental style but did you know that now you can even have an oriental styled bathroom? All you need to do is pick the right colors for walls and fabric and the right kind of accessories and you too will have a wonderful and peaceful oriental bathroom.
First of all, you should either choose very dark colors or light pastel shades. If you have a small bathroom, stick to the pastel shades and for larger ones you can select brown, dark wine red or even shades or red with grey or black. You can use laminated bamboo shades for the windows and lots of plants for the space too. Hanging flowering plants and bamboo home plants can also be used. Use a nice oriental design mat near the door and make sure that you use dark colored furniture for the cabinets and storage spaces.
Glam up your bathroom with a black and white themed décor
Adding black and white theme in any room can be very dramatic. Black and white themed décor can create a contemporary, sophisticated and elegant look. They can be the perfect combination of colors.
There are many ways to glam up your bathroom with black and white themed décor. You can install checked theme wall tiles in black and white in your bathroom. You can go for solid white tiles and solid black tiles placed alternatively or place black tile with a border of white or vice versa in your bathroom. When it comes to buying tiles, there are lots of options available in the market. Black and white designed countertops and shower curtains can bring in a sense of elegance. If you have a spacious bathroom with a bathtub, you can buy black and white checked candles from gift shops to add to your black and white themed bathroom décor and make it more relaxing.
Buying discounted bathroom vanities
When you go on a shopping spree, you might have noticed shops selling bathroom vanities at discounted price, actually before settling on the purchase make sure the reason for discount benefits, at times, old designs or small scratches or paint defects are sold off at low price but be sure about any major defects. The next is to decide on the organising your bathroom, make sure that it fits in the space in your bathroom, don't get it overcrowded, and think on the thing that would be fitted inside the cabinet, don't get that overcrowded too with useless toilet kits.
There are plenty of options from to buy the vanity whether online or through the local shop. But when purchasing online, be double sure with the right design and the defect if any, ask for the condition of the item. Be sure before installation that all wall or floor defects are restored properly. Make sure to get all inlet or outlet connections with the vanities are well checked or they can get damaged.
Get a color scheme for the bathroom which is soothing
A bathroom is a vital part of any apartment. Every day we rush to the shower after a hard day's work and thus, a good color scheme is important to have a soothing ambience. The modern trend is towards a contrasting color combo since simple white shades for both your walls and fixtures look boring.
The ideal wall paints for a bathroom are white, cream, taupe shades, beige, green, yellow pink, peach, light blue to create a calming ambience. Then pair it up with rich and bright shower curtains and bathroom towels. Dark wrought iron cabinets create a dramatic look. Complete the look with subtle yellow lights.
In case, you are planning for a darker wall shade like burgundy brown or black, contrast them with white or cream colored fixtures. Use white lights to touch a brighter look. Black and white combo looks very classy. However, don't opt for dark wall shades if you have a small bathroom.
Vanity lightings for bathrooms is an excellent option
Having proper light in your bathroom is very important. It not only has functional value, but also, if done properly, can add to the aesthetic quotient of your bathroom. And when it comes to lighting up your bathroom, the first thing to be take care of is vanity lighting.
In a bathroom, the vanity area is the main hub and therefore it only makes sense that you have a lot of light in that area. You can opt for the LED bulbs that come with track lighting handles. They use less energy, last longer and replacing them is extremely easy. For a warm and cozy feel, you can opt for the vanity lamps. Having three-way-bulbs in your bathroom is a wonderful idea.
A discussion on bathroom vanity lighting is incomplete without a word on wall scones. Wall scones come in a wide array of designs and you can choose the one that goes well with the overall décor of your bathroom.
Choosing best furniture for your bathroom
Are you planning to redo your bathroom any time soon? Well, if your answer is in the affirmative, there are a few things that you need to understand. Remodeling your bathroom does not only mean adding a corner shower or changing the color; you have to add some great pieces of bathroom furniture as well.
You should get bathroom vanities for your bathroom. You can find great bathroom vanities from your local home supply store. These are pretty similar to bedroom vanities but have plumbing installed, so that a sink can be accommodated. Bathroom vanities come in different designs and colors and you can choose one in keeping with the décor of your bathroom.
To give your bathroom a chic look, you can install a linen tower. Linen towers also come in different finishes and you can opt for one that matches your sink or bathroom vanity. Some other bathroom furniture that you can get is corner cabinets and hampers.

Depression Stalks the Cities
Why is urban life so depressing?
Posted Sep 12, 2011
Depression is about to edge out HIV/AIDS as the world's most significant health problem according to the World Health Organization. Why does depression stalk the world's cities?
If we knew the answer to this simple question, we would be well on the way to preventing this devastating disorder instead of having to rely upon antidepressant medicines that have troubling side effects and are minimally effective.
The evidence for an epidemic of depression is very clear and has been heavily discussed in the clinical literature. For Americans born a century ago, the chances of suffering any episode of major depression in the lifetime was only about 1 percent. Today, the lifetime incidence is 19.2 percent (1). This implies a relative increase of some 2,000 percent. Yet, even that estimate understates the problem because depression is becoming more prevalent in the young and is striking at ever-younger ages. Similar patterns are reported in other countries.
We do not know exactly why depression is such a bane of modern life. One way of winnowing out possible causes is to look for psychological advantages of living on a subsistence farm compared to city life.
Why the farmer used to be happy
If you want to hear a grown man cry, go talk to a farmer!
This witticism reflects problems of family farms in the age of agribusiness. Farming has become a difficult and uncertain occupation exposed to the vagaries of worldwide commodity prices and subject to whimsical government regulation and the constant threat of bankruptcy. Despite being otherwise healthier than the general public, farmers suffer more from anxiety and depression (2).
Yet, when most Americans lived on farms a century ago, there was almost no depression. Why were subsistence farmers so cheerful? Possible reasons range from exercise and contact with the soil to social cohesion.
Farmers did a great deal of manual labor and physical activity is a natural anti-depressant (3). Inactivity is a key symptom of depression so physical work directly counteracts the symptom counteracting the neurochemical profile of the disease as well.
Thanks to their high activity level, and high-fiber diet, subsistence farmers were slender which means that they did not suffer much from diabetes, heart disease, or the other obesity-related problems that are the bane of modern life.
People who suffer from depression are at a greater risk of heart disease and both are linked to inflammation (4), a process in which the immune system attacks pathogens. Both stress and obesity activate inflammatory processes. Modern conditions that cause obesity and heart disease may also cause depression and subsistence farmers were mostly free of these conditions.
Being part of a stable local community protected farmers against depression as opposed to the more anonymous conditions of urban life where social isolation is more likely. In subsistence communities, families were large and people knew their neighbors well. Subsistence farmers were more active in their religions–another form of social support that could reduce depression.
Although their lifestyle was humble, farmers could satisfy all of their basic needs and their economic lives were generally more predictable and controllable than those of modern workers who live in fear of losing their jobs. They were, however vulnerable to rare extreme weather events.
The process of caring for livestock, and even plants, may be psychologically soothing and English prisoners active in gardening programs fare much better than other inmates as dramatized in the British movie Greenfingers (2000). Likewise residents of nursing homes lived longer themselves when given a plant to care for (5).
Modern farmers trade soybean futures from their tractor cabs. Subsistence farmers were deprived of novel information. That made their lives tedious but it may have protected them from depression. Recent research suggests that exposure to TV increases anxiety and depression as we experience the traumas of other people around the globe or feel inadequate relative to ideals of beauty and success depicted there (6).
Perhaps the most tantalizing reason for minimal depression in subsistence farmers is the notion that physical contact with the soil relieves depression. Soil microbes are believed to interact with the immune system in ways that boost neurotransmitters that are deficient in depression (7). This–admittedly strange–idea is supported by ongoing research.
Modern farmers may have a lot to cry about but subsistence farmers were much jollier. If we could understand why depression was so low in subsistence farmers we would know why depression stalks the cities today.

Our Products and Pricing
My mission is to get just what you need and want as quickly and economically as possible. At the same time, the clothes I choose have to meet my standards for quality workmanship, fabric, care and correct sizing. Not to mention being cute and sometimes trendy! It is often a conflict. The only conclusion I can come to is to provide the best things I can find, even when they are more expensive and then not marking up so much as many places do. After finishing my 2012 income taxes, I can confirm that I am not overcharging - but I am just a little above breaking even. In other words, I did not pay a lot of taxes on income, there wasn't much income...
Sometimes economy is more important than style, exact sizing, quality workmanship and I realize that. I am changing how I do things to try to help that also - less sales items, more that are always at a lower price - my "economy corner".
Pursuing discounted wholesale items will always be part of what I spend my time on - and you'll benefit by getting lower prices whether on my boutique items or my economy items.
Whew, manufacturers vary all over the board on preemie sizing - its worse than larger sizes even although newborn is also quite variable. I have seen them marked up to 5 pounds when two 5 pounders could fit in it together. And some that say up to 7 lbs and will not fit over 18 inches long - not too many 7 pounders are that short! So while I may indicate what the manufacturer calls a size, I will try to include my best ESTIMATE and in many cases will include some measurements as time allows.
Basically I divide things into
Mini - a few things up to 2-2.5 lbs
Micro Preemie - up to 3-4 lbs
Preemie - about 3-5 or 6 lbs
Small newborn - 5-7 lbs

At a recent conference on health and social care risk management in healthcare, we were introduced to the idea of a 'just culture'. The 'just culture' is all about 'creating an open, fair and just culture, creating a learning culture, designing safe systems and managing behavioural choices'. In the context of healthcare, the 'just culture' is strongly associated with maximizing patient safely. The 'just culture' theory identifies three distinct types of behaviour:
- human error
- at-risk behaviour
- reckless behaviour.
Each of these is explained, and theoretically allows managers to differentiate based on behaviour (not outcome) and manage individuals differently depending upon the behaviour displayed. But do those working on the front line – doctors, nurses, therapists, carers – really understand what is expected of them?
Being honest about one's behaviours is difficult. Understanding what is needed behaviourally in an abstract way is equally difficult. And having a conversation with a colleague or subordinate about their behaviour can be even harder. For more information, see Patient Safety and the "Just Culture".

One of our clients recently articulated the critical behaviours expected of their people. These comprised short, memorable and simple statements such as 'speak up'. From a distance this seems sensible, perfectly valid and useful. But when you examine it more closely how clear is it? What does 'speak up' actually mean in the context of work? What should I speak up about? Who should I speak up to? Am I safe to speak up about my manager? What about other peoples' behaviours I've noticed?
Within many organisations, there are myriad reasons not to speak up. These include:
- explicit issues | if I speak up against my boss, this will damage me as s/he writes my appraisal
- perceived issues | no one will listen to me if I speak up because I am junior
- cultural issues | we support each other and stick together
And then there are the nameless concerns and fears arising from 'received wisdom', old memories, rumours and canteen gossip. During a course of interviews for one client, fear of losing their job if they spoke up was a repeated concern articulated by interviewees. No one had been fired or made redundant for eight years within that division, and most of the management team from 'the firing days' had long since moved on. But memories can be long. For another take on speaking up, see speaking out: would you?.
Opening the difficult conversation about behaviours – in this case, about 'speaking up' – can be greatly eased if the personal element is removed, and people are given a different frame within which to explore the idea and express concerns. In this instance we provided the safe frame by helping create some factional stories [by factional we mean fact-based fiction] where the critical behaviours were in evidence or missing.
Debates around these factional situations allowed individuals to explore in a non-threatening way the actions taken in the story and then create the right space for a discussion about what that meant for them personally. The conversation then naturally progresses to what 'speak up' might mean for the individual in a similar – but real life – situation. In this way, how I might need to change my own behaviour is no longer a rather abstract concept being imposed upon me (which I am likely to resist), but a clearly illustrated reality, which I can take back to the front line and apply to my daily work. And when many people do the same, the culture begins to shift.
Dialogue is a tool that promotes the ability to shape and shift organisational cultures. It is likely to be difficult to make the 'just culture' a reality if the current norm of behaviour is to cover up mistakes since people don't feel safe enough to speak up. Stepping into factional spaces can encourage people to have more challenging dialogues, be more open about underlying issues and raise issues in a safe space where the discussion doesn't have to get personal. It also offers the opportunity to follow the natural link to what might be needed in terms of their own personal approaches and mindsets.
We hope that if this 'just culture' becomes central to thinking through how to manage risk in healthcare. And that time and space are given to thinking through the cultural pillars that will support it from the perspective of those crucial delivery staff.

Meet Ciaron Dodd. Just don't hire him.
He's the £650-a-night hooker with East 17 eyebrows, powder blue braces and a face straight from the bottom of a poppers bong (once you pop you just can't stop!) who just wants to get his grotty little mug in the papers.
Selling his story to the Sun, whose morals are up there with Mother Fucking Theresa in her Oliver Peoples sunglasses, Ciaron Dodd has shared stories of coke-fuelled orgies, nights out at the theatre, chocolate, flowers and even more chocolate when being entertained by Paul Flowers, the man from The Co-Op who dared to spend his own money doing fun things that are nobody's business but his own. The fact that he's also a man of God is just a little bit of serendipity. You know, just for us.
'I knew what he did for a living and couldn't believe how debauched he was,' said Ciaron, who clearly didn't get the Some Bank Chiefs Are Pigs, Get Over It! campaign brochure through his letterbox.
Mr Dodd, a 'part-time model' – we'll be the judge, etc. – met Paul Flowers through Manchester Lads, a site that specializes in matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and cunts.
'Paul enjoyed my company too,' admitted Ciaron, eyes glistening at the thought of how many more star tattoos he'll now be able to afford.
'He'd like to spend hours drinking, talking and taking drugs. He would raise his glass and say, "To good health darling" before we had a drink.'
And John Lewis thought they had the monopoly on our hearts…
Would you pay £650 for this ratty prostitute who can't even keep his potty mouth shut?,

Family in Danbury
Hello, My mother-in-law has Parkinsons disease and her husband works on most weekends. It is difficult for her to be left alone for so many hours and we are looking for someone who is flexible and can stay with her when needed. It is usually most weekends from 10 am-8 pm, but may be less. She can get around a fair amount, but her balance isn't great. We are looking for someone who is a companion, can help her with getting around the house if needed, preparing a light meal, and also taking her out (by car) and getting her out of the house. She does not take any type of medication. She is a very pleasant woman and would do well with most personalities. She loves the outdoors, nature and farms so would love to go out to some of those places. She can walk short distances (with a shuffle), but needs someone by her side in case she loses her balance. The ideal person would be someone who is looking to pick up extra work on weekends. Please contact Carrie at 917-733-... Thanks!

With these hot temperatures, is there a way to prevent my car from overheating?
Yes, there is a way to prevent overheating with proper maintenance. Bring your vehicle into Jaffarian Volvo Toyota Scion's Service Department and we can be sure to do the following to prevent overheating:
1. Make sure your coolant system is topped off with antifreeze.
2. Check all hoses to be certain they are in good condition so they don't corrode or leak.
3. Change your oil. If you change your oil yourself, check the water system, hoses, and belts. A good visual inspection is important. If you see something that doesn't look right, bring it in.
4. Check your fan. Sometimes fans don't operate properly and can cause the engine to overheat, so checking that is also important.
If your vehicle does overheat, you want to be sure you do everything to stay safe. As soon as you see smoke or steam coming from the engine, pull off to the side of the road and follow these steps:
1. Turn the engine off, open the hood and let it cool down.
Normally your car will have warning lights and a pressure relief valve. If your engine starts to overheat, it will give you plenty of warning before you could actually damage anything. You really can't address any of the problems though until the engine cools off. Monitor the temperature gauge to catch it before it overheats; take notice if you see the needle moving up toward hot rather than staying in the middle.
If the gauge is already indicating the engine is overheating, turn off the air conditioning and roll down the windows. Turning the heat on can help to pull the heat away from the engine.
2. Do not take off the radiator cap until the engine is cool.
Be safe as you don't want to get burned. Do not uncap the radiator or water system. The pressure will be high and it will blow off.
3. Refill antifreeze and coolant.
Once everything cools down, open the system up and fill it back up with new antifreeze. The coolant tank is generally a translucent plastic tank near the radiator. If it is empty, you may have sprung a leak. If you look under the vehicle and you see a drip or puddle, the tank is leaking.
If you have a leak, carefully open the radiator cap. Place a cloth over the radiator cap to protect your hand, and tilt the cap away from you as it opens. Refill the cooled radiator with your spare coolant or water. Do not pour cold water into a still-hot radiator — it could cause the engine block to crack due to the sudden change in temperature. If you absolutely have to add water while the engine is still warm, pour slowly while the engine is running in neutral or park.
4. Check hoses for leaks, blockages or bursts.
Conduct a visual inspection to see if you have a leak or something that caused your engine to overheat because a vehicle doesn't usually overheat without a reason. Chances are you either have a leak in the coolant system, or a thermostat went bad, which can happen. It is more common for older vehicles, but we recommend a professional technician address the thermostat.
5. Keep a safety kit in your car.
Have a kit that contains coolant, a tool kit, a blanket, a working flashlight, non-perishable foods and water in the car at all times. By the way, an engine can overheat at other times of the year beside summer.
