EXPERT SECRETS | Take a compliment
WOMEN ARE notorious for deflecting compliments with an arsenal of well-practiced, self-deprecating replies. Someone tells you that you look lovely today? It's swiftly met with a practised list (no sleep, stressed at work, eating like a teenager) to prove that you are, in fact, just the opposite of the nice things someone's just said about you.
But why? How often do men blush and deflect niceties? That would be never (or so it seems). In fact, it's rare you don't see a male chest puff with pride given even the most back-handed compliment. And more power to that bloke. It'll be a shiny new era on earth when a woman swell with pride when a perfect stranger says something nice to her.
There's a gap – a veritable canyon – between the way men and women receive compliments and (based on my anecdotal evidence) how confident they seem overall. It's not difficult to ascertain there's a link between seeming confident, being confident and liking yourself. Studies show that if you smile you'll feel happier, even if you're forcing the smile, right? So there's a chance (I believe a very big chance) that the same is true of women embracing compliments...

Senator Udall Partners with API Hackday Denver to Help Flood Relief EffortJillian Wohlfarth
We are excited to announce that Senator Udall is partnering with API Hackday Denver at SendGrid's office this Saturday at 8am. The hackday is open to developers of all skill levels who are looking to contribute their skills and innovation to help the Colorado flood victims.
Today, his office made the following announcement:
Udall Partners with API Hackday Denver, Denver Startup Week to Empower Developers to Create Apps, Resources for Flood Victims
Mark Udall, a strong proponent of Colorado's innovation economy and startup community, announced today he will partner with API Hackday Denver to host a competition this Saturday that challenges developers, innovators and startups to develop better tools to deliver disaster resources and information to Coloradans affected by the recent flood. The event, part of Denver Startup Week, will leverage private sector innovation to improve the ongoing disaster-relief effort.
"Colorado is home to some of the most innovative and entrepreneurial people in the nation," Udall said. "Our startup community has done great work to create jobs and keep Colorado at the forefront of the global economic race, but they are also committed to civic innovation. This competition shows that our best and brightest are eager to give back and to help their fellow Coloradans recover from this disaster and to rebuild even stronger than before."
"SendGrid and the API Hackday crew are super excited to partner with Senator Udall, in an effort to put our minds together to solve real problems facing our fellow community members, through creative uses of technology," said Tim Falls, director of developer relations for SendGrid, who is leading the API Hack Day on Saturday. "We can't wait to see what is built!"
Coloradans interested in following the event, registering or learning more, should visit https://apihackdaydenver.eventbrite.com. For more information on Denver Startup Week events, visit https://denverstartupweek.zerista.com/event.
The competition Udall is co-hosting will start at 8 a.m. at SendGrid's Denver office, 1451 Larimer St.
Udall has been fighting since the flooding began to ensure Colorado has all the federal resources it needs to recover and rebuild. He has welcomed the release of emergency transportation funds and has pushed out disaster-relief resources to affected families and businesses. Udall also has worked to protect Coloradans from home-repair, insurance and charitable-giving fraud in the wake of the flooding.
We know that our community has incredible talent to offer so we hope to see it all on display on Saturday. Registration is free, so we encourage everyone to sign up and contribute.
The tentative schedule is as follows and will also include an introduction about the flood relief efforts and current resources from Senator Udall's office.

Dear Diary,
It's been nearly four hundred and seventy odd something hours since I last wrote here. If I told it all, Diary, you would fall asleep, as would I. But I had to share a couple of 'shinies' that I know would make any blogga-barbie happy and giddy, just like how you make me feel when I can ramble off course and over the cliff onto sharp rocks…. Diary you are my rock. Diary you rock!
There's a hair creator/designer who's style and ingenuity I simply adore, Diary. Diary if you were a SL avatar, I'd take you to Boo Nakamura's store and get us the the most posh-test weaves there are on the grid! Like the one I'm wearing in these fotos!
And, then, I'd whisk you away to a little but more posh-er fashion event that would absolutely melt you with unbraided, unwonton desires for shinies! L'accessoires happens every month, but you can always find 'that one thing' to set off your look, Diary. That is of course, if you were a SL Avatar.
But alas, you are the paper, the platform, the receiver of all my thoughts and intents. So the best I could do then, Diary, is to show you where to find these shinies, and maybe, just maybe, some wind of inspiration will take you out of my book, and into the hands of someone, who likes shinies just as much as we do.
That's all for today, Diary. Now go and find someone to inspire!

Agriculture, The Fed Has Been Watching You.Tweet
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors is expected to have its finger on the pulse of the economy, but how about on the pulse of agriculture, and its part of the US economy? The Fed's Beige Book, which is a summary of the data fed to the Fed, indicates the Federal Open Market Committee which sets monetary policy, is getting a fair picture of agriculture and the stress that the drought is having. Let's read what is contained in the Beige Book released on August 29.
The Beige Book is named for the color of its cover, nothing more, but is published every six weeks ahead of the FOMC meeting at which interest rate policy is reviewed and adjusted. About two weeks after the meeting, the Beige Book is released to the public. The report's chapters reflect the economic activity in each of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts, such as manufacturing activity, consumer purchases, real estate transfers and the like. Agriculture is one of those sections in each report, by some of the twelve district banks, where agriculture is a major part of the economy in its district.
"The drought has substantially reduced expected yields for corn and soybeans, although the impact varied considerably across the District. Scattered rains near the end of the reporting period helped revive soybeans to some degree; however, with the exception of some late-plantings, the precipitation was too late to improve yields for most of the corn crop. Crop insurance and higher prices will partially offset lost revenue. However, some farmers face the prospect of having to buy corn at market prices after selling ahead more than they will likely harvest. Livestock pastures are in poor shape as well, and fields with low corn yields were being chopped for silage to feed livestock. With feed costs high, livestock operations cannot cover their costs of production, and operators have reduced their herds accordingly. Hog and cattle prices were down from the prior reporting period, while dairy prices were up as milk production dipped.
"Severe drought conditions have caused downgrades to forecasted crop production. Annual 2012 production of cotton, soybean, and corn in the District states is expected to fall from 2011 levels by 12 percent, 18 percent, and 24 percent, respectively. In contrast, annual production of rice and sorghum in the District states is expected to increase by at least 12 percent. The fraction of all crops rated in fair or better condition has fallen in all District states since the previous report. Similarly, the fraction of pasture rated in fair or better condition declined in all District states. The District states' year-to-date coal production for the end of July was 3.4 percent higher compared with the same period last year. Meanwhile, the District states' coal production for July 2012 was approximately on par with July 2011."
"The agriculture sector was mixed. Preliminary results from the Minneapolis Fed's second-quarter (July) survey of agricultural credit conditions showed that nearly 90 percent of lenders said farm incomes increased or stayed the same in the past three months, with similar results for household and capital spending. While severe drought hit the Midwest, much of the District has been spared relative to other areas. Most of the corn, soybean and spring wheat crops in Minnesota and North Dakota were in good or excellent condition. South Dakota and Wisconsin fared somewhat worse. District cattle producers have been selling more animals because of high feed costs. Margins also tightened for dairy producers. Prices received by farmers in July increased from a year earlier for corn, wheat, soybeans, hay, dry beans, poultry, eggs, cattle and hogs; prices decreased for potatoes and dairy products."
The Minneapolis Fed also reported that a Minnesota ethanol plant was idled because of high corn input costs, and a long-planned beef-packing plant in South Dakota was put on hold following reports that it would open soon.
"Agricultural conditions deteriorated as crops withered under extreme drought. The majority of the corn and soybean crops were rated in fair or poor condition, cutting production estimates and sending crop prices to record highs. Drought strained profit margins for livestock producers as feed costs rose and further herd liquidations dampened cattle prices. Escalating production costs were expected to boost farm loan demand in the coming months. Agricultural bankers indicated ample funds were available for farm loans at historically low interest rates. Loan repayment rates were expected to hold near year-ago levels due in large part to crop insurance and higher land lease revenues for mineral rights. While still well above year-ago levels, farmland values rose less rapidly and were expected to hold steady during the rest of the growing season."
The Kansas City Fed also reported restaurant sales increased, and several contacts expected higher menu prices in coming months in response to rising food costs.
"Drought conditions improved slightly due to scattered rainfall in July. Crops remained mostly in fair to good shape, with the exception of dryland cotton crop in the Texas High Plains region which suffered due to lack of moisture. Overall, crop conditions were much better than a year ago. Drought in the Midwest has caused grain prices to climb sharply, squeezing margins for ranchers by driving up feed costs for livestock."
Other Fed Districts provided only marginal references to agriculture, but are worth noting:
- The Fourth District at Cleveland said, "There is growing concern about the rise in agricultural commodity prices and the resulting impact on the cost of food products."
- The Fifth Federal Reserve District at Richmond, VA reported, "Widespread precipitation since our last report helped revitalize crops and pastureland in many areas of the District. Rain in early August aided late summer peaches in Maryland and West Virginia, and soybeans were responding to improved weather conditions in Virginia. Cotton and peanut growers in the District are also having a great year. In South Carolina, the cantaloupe and watermelon harvest was virtually complete by early August. Results of our recent agricultural credit survey indicated that farmland values were above both the previous quarter and year-ago levels."
- The Twelfth Fed District at San Francisco reported, "Agricultural producers saw further sales gains, and extraction activity of natural resources used for energy production continued to expand. Orders and sales grew for many crop and livestock products, and one report indicated that demand for cotton was particularly strong. The persistent drought in parts of the country has raised grain and feed prices, prompting District cattle ranchers to reduce herd sizes."
The Federal Reserve System keeps tabs on agriculture because of its economic impact, and is quite aware of the impact of the drought on agricultural production. While yields are expected to go down, many of the losses are being covered by crop insurance. However, the loss of pasture and high feed prices have created a restructuring of the livestock sector, which the Fed is watching. The Fed is also aware of higher food prices that will affect consumer spending.

Hi AnastasiosBy the time I came into contact with what was then called the Orthodox Church of the British Isles in about 1988 it was not really Syran in ethos. The senior bishop was Mar Seraphim and the clergy wore some Syrian vestments. The link with Syria had been severed a century before under pressure from the Anglican Church which was very active in the Middle East.I met regularly with Mar Seraphim and was impressed by his genuine desire to maintain an Orthodox faith even among his isolated communities. There was a document published some years before I first met the OCBI called the Glastonbury Confession and I am still impressed by its patristic foundations and Orthodox content. I had no doubt that the OCBI was Orthodox.Nevertheless it was isolated and at the time I was seeking for Orthodoxy and did not want to be joining a completely different tradition to the Evangelicalism I had grown up and been active in as well as having to be isolated from a wider communion of Christians.In the years before I was received I continued to meet with Mar Seraphim. He always had a desire to be reunited with the wider Orthodox communion, not to make him important but because it was where he knew the flock under his care should be. I know that he would have been received even as a priest rather than a bishop if this was required for the welfare of his people.As it was he developed good relations with some of the Copts in the UK. These helped make an introduction to the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate possible. Part of the process was that he wanted to regularise the life of the OCBI. So they stopped using their own liturgy and started using an ancient and Apostolic one, that of St James. There were other things that took place, all designed to tighten up the Orthodox praxis.The discussions with the Coptic Orthodox seemed to go very well - as far as could see. And at Pentecost 1994 in Cairo, Mar Seraphim became Metropolitan Seraphim and the OCBI became the British Orthodox Church within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate. A week or so later I was baptised and chrismated.Certainly some of the Syrian Orthodox in the 19th century had a great vision, not for expanding the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate, but for genuinely sharing the Orthodox faith with the West.Equally at the end of the 20th century the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate has been imaginative enough to receive a French church some 30 years ago into union, and now thr British Orthodox Church.At present we use the Liturgy of St James, together with the rites of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate for all other services and sacraments. Yet we are neither Syrian nor Coptic. We are British Orthodox. Living the Orthodox tradition, received most directly from the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate in a British environment and context.So:We use a different liturgyWe use a modified Western calendar for the fixed feastsWe sing some good, theological hymns from the ancient Western Orthodox traiditionWe venerate our own British saints as well as those of the universal and Coptic ChurchWe use a different and British chant and in time, God willing, this will be more musicalWe celebrate the services in EnglishI know that we love being part of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate. It has been a complete blessing. But we are committed to evangelism and mission among our fellow British citizens. If we do not evangelise then we will not grow, and we must evangelise in a British context.We are not an autonomous Church but the very protocol of union made clear that Pope Shenouda expected and required that we maintain our British ethnicity. he did not want is pretending to be Egyptians.In my own mission the service is not obviously Coptic. It is certainly liturgical but a visitor would not immediately think we were trying to be 'Eastern'. We have an iconostasis with a growing number of icons painted in the modern Coptic style. Many Western people actually find these more approachable than some other traditions. So we are obviously Orthodox but not obviously Coptic, let alone Egyptian.But as far as our faith goes we are entirely in accord with the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate.For myself I find it a constant pleasure interacting with Orthodox folk around the world, especially as I meet more and more young people with a serious faith and an earnest desire for the union of all the holy Churches of God based on truth and the fulness of the faith.The BOC has tried to give something back to the wider community and I have published a couple of books. The most useful is 'The Council of Chalcedon Re-Examined' by Fr V.C. amuel of blessed memory. This book really helped me and I was disappointed that it was almost impossible to get hold of so when I was given permission to re-publish it I was very pleased. It took me a long while but it has been available at Amazon etc for a couple of years now. We have also republished the Conferences of St John Cassian, which I love. And have plans for other works.We publish the Glastonbury Review 2 or 3 times a year and this has good articles in it, some of which I have written. And you know that we also maintain www.orthodoxunity.org and a number of discussion lists.As a personal interest I also maintain www.celticorthodoxy.org and I am studying for an M.A in Celtic Christianity - the Orthodox Christianity that is of the early British christians.Our biggest concerns are to do with mission and evangelism I think. All of our missions and parishes need to grow and keep growing. I am organising a Family, and Friends weekend next year at a residential centre that will be an opportunity for us to enjoy fellowship together - which is also difficult for us - and will be a means of some gentle evangelism for our contacts and families who are not all Orthodox.We are also currently producing a booklet Introducing Orthodoxy, in our context of course and for us to use in evangelism. I have so many plans and ideas but its all down to time and God making things possible.This is just a bit about the BOC. I'm sure I'll mention more as appropriate.Best wishesPeter Theodore
Hi PolycarpThanks for your interesting question.I understand Orthodoxy not as an institution, or a theological party, or a religious clique, but as the fulness of the Gospel - good news!I want everybody to embrace this good news in its completeness. Amen to that!On one level it is not my business to 'convert' people, it is my duty to bear witness, set an example, explain, educate. It is God's business to change hearts by His Holy Spirit.So when I am engaged in evangelism I want to see people making steps towards the fulness of the Gospel. It's wonderful when they embrace all of the good news, and exciting when my own community grows in numbers, but if I just see a few more aspects of the truth understood and experienced then I rejoice.When I know that my friends who are Protestants don't know the great strength found in the sacraments how can I just leave them in ignorance. If they don't know how to call on the saints to intercede for them, how can I leave them to struggle without their aid. If they do not know how the Church is rightly ordered for our salvation so that it is shepherded by bishops and priests in a holy Apostolic succession, how can I count it as nothing. Again amen to that.So I desire all folk, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Atheist, Agnostic, and Orthodox as well, to grow in the knowledge of the truth. Again agreement here.If they never visit my community but are touched by God in some way then I'm happy.But Orthodoxy, the fulness of the Gospel, is not negotiable. The rejection of sacraments, priesthood, saints, the Virgin Mary, the Scriptures etc etc these are not optional extras but deform and damage our very salvation. agreed. So in answer to your question, I regard all people - Orthodox as well - as being the objects of evangelisation - the spreading of the good news. Because we all need to be converted, we all need to ask the question day by day - What must I do to be saved? I know I do.Ok that is fair. But what about Church unity? How can we fufill the great commission without the visible unity that The Church was established with and which Jesus prayed for? Don't we need to acknowelege eachother's communities and indeed reunite as One Holy Catholic and apostolic Church? How can we do that if we feel we need to evangelize eachother? By saying all practicing Christians are objects of evangelization one is saying their community isn't good enough as compared to your's or mine etc. I understand the idea of presenting the fullenss of the faith to Protestant Christians because they have been robbed of the fulness of the faith but other Orthodox and Catholics?Peace,Polycarp
Hi PolycarpWell we all need evangelising. Evangelism is not the same as proselytism. Proselytism seeks to get people to join 'my group' at any cost, evangelism wants people to know God better, in God's way and in God's time.Church unity is very important to evangelism at many levels. But when I am talking about the faith with a colleague at work who knows little about Orthodoxy except that which I have told him then the larger questions of Church unity are not so immediately importantant.Anyone who is committed to evangelism should be committed to the reconciliation of all the holy Churches of God in truth - that is in the fulness of truth not on the basis of just warm feelings.So it cannot be avoided that there are doctrinal differences between the Roman Catholics and Orthodox - both Eastern and Oriental. These need to be dealt with, and witnessing to the truth in such circumstances is also an aspect of evangelism.It is nothing to do with whose community is better, but rather what is the truth, what is the 'good news'.That is why the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox are still working for reconciliation and have not merely 'decreed' it. It is necessary to confirm that we are all witnessing to the same Gospel. Well said and I agree with you.Now in my studies I do not find any doctrinal difference between the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox. But there are theological differences between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholics. It is necessary that we bear witness to what we believe to be true. I agree here too. I would much rather that the entire Roman Catholic communion came into unity with the Orthodox communities, but while that is happening I still need to share the whole gospel with whoever will hear - even the members of my own church, because we all need to be converted every day, because from the Roman and Orthodox perspectives we do not share the fulness of the faith at the moment. Again fair enough. We are in agreement here too.Issues that may be considered to be controversial are:i. filioqueii. papal supremacy and universal ordinary jurisdictioniii. papal infallibilityiv. immaculate conception of the Virgin Maryv. christological agreement between Roman Catholic and Assyrian Churchvi. use of wafers in the eucharist (the Armenians use unleavened bread but it is bread not a wafer)also probablyvii. scholastic approach to theologyviii. Augustinianismix. purgatoryx. clerical celibacyI'm not raising these to be difficult but to explain why Orthodox don't consider that it is possible to recognise an identity of faith at present. And if there is not an identity of faith then both sides are the object of education, persuasion, evangelism by the other. This is only natural if we both believe we have the full gospel. A agree again. But I feel these "problems" are not as insurmountable as they may seem on the surface. I have no intent to 'make you Orthodox' though, as I said. Only that you, and I, together come to a deeper appreciation of the good news. I understand and again well said. Thank you for your opinion.Peace,Polycarp

The Catholic aid group Caritas Spain urged the Spanish government to consider the "sinister concrete implications" of the country's economic crisis after a sharp increase in the number of people seeking aid. An affiliate of the church's global relief and development agency, Caritas Internationalis, Caritas Spain said that Spanish society has "followed a precarious integration model, which has gradually deteriorated and failed, reducing the protective capacity of the public system."
Caritas reported: "This crisis does not only concern concepts of aid management. It also has sinister concrete implications in the loss of jobs, fall in household earnings and weakening in social support." The Caritas Spain analysis reviewed the effects of the austerity measures put in place by Spain since the nation became engulfed by Europe's sovereign debt crisis. Released on Sept. 27, the report tracked growing "poverty, inequality and unfairness" as a major concern, despite the agency's efforts to provide assistance through Catholic parishes. The number of people in Spain receiving aid from the charity has tripled in the past four years, topping one million people in 2011.
"If poverty was not reduced when there was economic growth in 1994-2007 and if social protection was not improved as a share of national growth, it is difficult to imagine that poverty and inequality will be reduced now at a time of crisis," the agency said.
The report was published as the center-right government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced a new wave of spending cuts and tax increases in its 2013 budget in a bid to cut Spain's deficit and avoid a bailout by the European Union. The measures were met with angry street protests in Madrid and other cities, as well as calls for secession by the country's wealthy northwest Catalonia region.
A spokesperson for Caritas Spain, Ana Girao, said on Sept. 28 that poverty in Spain showed signs of evolving from an acute problem into a long-term one. Those struggling the most during the widespread downturn have been the unemployed, currently 25 percent of the Spanish workforce, as well as immigrants, single mothers and young couples with children, she said.
Ms. Girao expressed gratitude for the work of the Spanish Catholic Church, which traditionally claims the loyalty of 82 percent of Spain's 40 million inhabitants, which supplemented the work of her agency in individual dioceses by offering money, food and clothing to the growing ranks of the poor. "We are the Catholic Church. So what Caritas does for the needy is also what the church does," Girao said.
"Although the media has shown interest in our report, we're not expecting reactions from the politicians," she added. "But they must be made aware that the situation is becoming more chronic and the needs ever greater."
The report said Caritas disburses about $43 million in aid annually. "We also listen to people who come to our parish centers and try to address not just economic needs, but also to offer warmth," the charity said.
"Actions which address these needs are valuable, since they are significant and transformative for the lives of individuals, as well as for relationships in society."

A very rare advertisement of the from the 1976 Basel Fair. Now it's clear that the brand was creatively competing with the electronic digital (LED & LCD) watch market with their "New Generation of Digitals", the mechanical "LRD" (Light Reflecting Display).
The watch was previously featured here-->Link
The Amida Digitrend simply created a hand-wound jump hour digital watch, printed the numbers backward in orange (emulating LED digits), and reflected them sideways through a prism correcting the numbers in the display. Genius!
And best of all, this ad shows the original bracelet! I've yet to find a Digitrend with that particular style. Most have the band shown below, probably just a few variations were made. A few rare all black models were also produced.

text: During my visit to India I met Raghavendra Rathore, a member of the Jodhpur royal family and a designer who worked with Donna Karen, Oscar de la Renta and Bill Blass in New York before returning to India to set up his own label. He presented two fashion shows during the celebrations, with the menswear show inspired by polo, as much of his clothing is. He is credited with reviving the popularity of jodhpurs and bandhgala (Nehru) jackets, both in India and abroad. He is also passionate about tailoring and reinvigorating traditional clothing crafts in India.Tell me about your bespoke suits and the state of tailoring in IndiaOur suits are the most expensive bespoke in India, but they are still nowhere near the quality of Savile Row tailors. We have to cut many corners to get them down to a price people are willing to pay here. So there is fusing in the chest, for example.Our four tailors in Jodhpur all know how to make suits by hand, but they have to work with these cheaper and quicker means to cater to demand. We make suits in around two weeks. We have fittings, but there isn't the understanding of bespoke yet to justify greater time and expense.I saw Tom Ford opened a shop recently in Delhi. He must think there is some appetite for very expensive suiting?Yes, that was an encouraging sign. The next stage is to communicate the craft involved in bespoke and get people to understand the value of hand work. At the moment, if people see hand stitching on the outside of a jacket they think it is a mistake, or evidence of an alteration.How are you going to communicate that in a place as vast as India?Communication is relatively easy, if you can access the mass media. My costume work with Bollywood star Amitabh Bachan, for example, made jodhpurs very fashionable. The plan at the moment is to make personalised clothing more popular by selling custom wallets, buttons and other things. The buttons on our bandhgala jackets, for example, are interchangeable [using the same method as on my travel blazer] and we can have gold or silver versions made with individuals' initials on them.I am also working with the government to encourage local design and craft. We had a competition recently where we went through 15,000 submissions – and that had already been edited down – from people hoping to work in the industry. In one session a young man said he wanted to show us his work outside, in the sunlight. We all filed out and he had laid out his whole portfolio on the ground, drawn on leaves in the old way. The work was stunning. The challenge is to translate that raw talent into a commercial environment.Are you optimistic about the future of tailoring here?Absolutely. In the next two or three years I hope to switch all my production to fully bespoke, canvassed suits. The knowledge is still here, it's just a question of awakening it. We are at the dawn of custom tailoring in India.Bandhgalas with baggy trousersThose trousers again, but on the marching band

If we are to consider the fact that silver is the killing factor, then why chance it. Go for the full silver variety! Heck of a time to figure out that an attempt to be cost-effective failed because the plated bullets are not stopping your adversary! And, as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is cheaper than a pound of cure, go visit your local priest prior to and get them bullets blessed!
Of course, the best advice to give any intrepid werewolf hunter is to ensure that the prey you are tracking is indeed a werewolf. Much more difficult in practice than what Hollywood would have you believe.
Finally, as that the whole werewolf existance is myth-based, there is no defintie process that can be said to be 100% effective. There are a mryiad of ways that are suppose to dispose of a vampire, for instance, and a handful of things they are supposed to be wary of, but who is to say which is right and which is wrong? Ahh, the beauty of myth and lore! However you wish to perpetuate the story is up to the author!

Ray should be known as Van Helsing lol
Rays much cooler than Van Helsing.
I think it is more likely that the fact the bullets are blessed would make more difference in killing a werewolf. I would imagine though that a silver plated bullet would kill a werewolf because silver is coming in contact with the werewolf, but I dont know much about killing werewolfs.
Ahh.. Id love to be a werewolf, they are my favourite of all mythical monsters!
Oh and Hugh Jackmans Van Helsing Rocked kill those vampires!

I guess silver plating may be effective, but not as effective as solid silver. You run the risk of some of the plating flaking off, etc. So instead of killing him, you would just wind up with him/her being sick, but able to recover. You know, a mild allergic reaction.

If somebody ingests a pure peanut, then the odds are that they will have a more severe reaction than somebody who ingests something that has come in contact with a peanut. It depends on the individual.
I'm allergic to penicillin. If I take a pill, it takes up to 72 hours before I have a reaction. If I take it intravenously, the reaction is happens within a few hours.

But back to the "pure" part. This is probably the most likely killer for not just werewolves, but vampires, even Frankenstein's, etc. Vampires hate crosses, holy water, sacred ground, i.e "pure" things. But the biggest killer for them was sunlight, the life-giving rays from our Sun. From an ancient myth and folklore point-of-view, sunlight cleansed all things evil, chased away all night spirits, and returned the world to goodness. Even the werewolf could not survive in animal form during the day. Sunlight, silver, and fire, the bane of Doc Frank's creation, are all things that were considered "pure". Fire cleanses, fire purifies metal, fire burns witches (not one of humanity's prouder moments!).
So then, is it silver that kills the werewolf (allergic reaction), or the pureness of the metal, or the fact that the bullet can be blessed. Because this all myth-based, it falls onto the storyteller or author to elaborate and draw conclusions, and to make the story believable. This is the true essence and goal of any story! And as you can witness, we are currently involved in a conversation based off one man's story written over two hundred years ago on a subject that has no scientific merit or proof! I love it!
Sorry Leonie, I like Hugh, but his VanHelsing, while very much a butt-kicker, was to Hollywood for me! Surprised he didn't have silver claws pop out of his hands!

I reviewed a website a while back and it is (imo) unquestionably the best werewolf site on the net: http://paranormalize...review-022.html
Posted 15 June 2007 - 08:20 AM
Here is the central point. We live in a well structured world, dominated by the guidance and control from our government and the church. During the day, the affected individual is normal in appearance, but at the beckoning of the full moon, he becomes the creature that does not have to follow the rules. He becomes a free-willed machine of destruction. He becomes what we wished we could be, but can't for fear of persecution.
Vampires, on the other hand, are idolized for their ability to sway the opposite sex. They are smooth and sauve, they also operate at night time, and they have been described in most literature and film as beautiful, charismatic people. Underneath that is an urge to drain the very life from their victims, doing so in a manner that provides, in most cases, ecstasy for both the victim and the vampire. The ultimate sex symbol, the vampire intrigues people much in the same way the werewolf does. But why?
At our very core, we have two drive impulses, two basic needs imprinted directly into our very DNA. Survive and propogate. Find food and make babies. While we as modernized humans find more acceptable ways of going about this, we can't forget that not too long ago in our history, we lived in caves, ate what we could catch and tried to build our clan membership as often as possible, all for the survivability of the group. Times changed, and we changed with it, but we still carry with us these two primal desires. And where as the reproductive urge is more intense and satisfying, the drive to survive is the greatest of the two. And to do that on a strictly unrestrained level would be the most effecient and desirable. This is why, I believe, that some people have such a deep fascination and admiration for the werewolf.

Cat Urinary infection medication questions
I live in a small town far from from veterinary clinic options. I am questioning the medications that have been prescribed to my youngest cat, CC(CeeCee). She is 2 years and 8 months old, fixed, and weighs 8 lbs. On May 10 she decided to pee in my sink (for some odd reason), and she was peeing orange. Upon bringing her to the vet they performed urinalysis and radiology ... told us it was a urinary tract infection and gave her a Convenia injection and Metacam injection. I also began putting a capfull of pure cranberry in her water dish each day as I here it is beneficial.
Again on May 23 she urinated in the sink. This time a darker red. The vet then prescribed oral Metacam (single dose), Noroclav 125mg twice daily x 3 weeks, and Baytril 25mg for 8 days.
I have done some research and am starting to come to the conclusion that the medications and dosages may be a bit off. I would appreciate some feedback so that I can be sure my cat is getting the right treatment. I am already a bit angry about the Metacam and am wondering why she needs it. She is not experiencing pain that I have noticed, and as far as I have been reading it seems dangerous for cats.
She seems quite content and happy, other than the bloody urine.
There can be other causes of bloody urine besides a bacterial infection. Was the urine ever sent out for culture and sensitivity testing? It's actually quite rare for young cats to have a true UTI, more often it's inflammation, not infection. Can you ask the vet for a copy of the urinalysis?
What does your kitty eat? Diet plays a huge role in feline urinary tract issues:

Thanks for your quick reply. We currently have both our cats on dry food. My older cat has been on Cat Chow for 7 years now with no health issues. I currently feed them canned as an occasional treat. It usually doesn't agree with them too well. In light of her recent problems I will try them on some canned food for awhile. Can you recommend a decent not to pricy brand? The older cat is quite picky and won't eat canned food that has chunks.. only pate. As for my cheapness on brands, it's also about what I can afford. Our oldest dog is currently very sick and on a special prescription diet for his bowel problems. He is 13 (Deacon). He is being considered for surgery. Bringing him to a specialist on Saturday. Our animals are all rescues. We do our best on our budget... The extra vet bills for CeeCee have come at a bad time. I am doing my best to get her back to health. Any good supplements that may help her that you know of? I heard cranberry juice and vitamin C. Problem is the older cat seems to hog the cranberry water.. lol. I will see if I can get a copy of the urinalysis. Thanks for the advice.
You should try feeding your cat some canned instead of dried food. My dog had crystals and he was peeing blood and I had to stop feeding him dried food and only feed him canned dog food. The yeast in dried food can causes pets to get crystals .

Hi tinman141 and welcome to the forum!
I'm really in a rush, but wanted to drop a quick note off to you. I'll come back later and add more.
1. Metacam and Convenia should not be used simultaneously......here's a link to another case where you'll find links to contraindication warnings from other countries to this effect http://www.thecatsite.com/t/258906/w...ng-with-my-cat The info from drugs.com applicable to Canadian regulations does not speak to this issue for reasons unknown - I wasted half an hour looking for this info on Health Canada's Vet Drug site without success - that "crowd" has created a Vet drug site which is about as transparent as a black hole!
2. Why, on earth, your cat has been given 3 different antibiotics for a UTI is beyond my understanding........did they not do a culture to determine which bacteria was present?
3. I don't have time to calculate - you can do this - the maximum Baytril dose for any cat is 5mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight....my quick math says she should be getting a max of 18mg per day.....so, I think 25mg is about 30% - 1/3 too much. We had a resident Vet here, Dr. Lee, whom I remember being very directive on this point, to the extent of recommending that another member break up the Baytril tabs to get as close to that dosage as possible. You could do an advanced search here for "baytril" by username "Dr. Lee" and probably find his reference. I would reduce the dosage if it were me. Pill cutters are great for breaking tablets.
I'd recommend that you get as much water into her as you can - starting as soon as you can. Perhaps pick up some Fancy Feast pate style cans - "Classic" (not fish, though) and add a little water - see if she'll take those. FF is generally well accepted.
I would be extremely angry as well.
More later.
the more i learn about (some) people, the more i luv my cats
Thank you so much everyone for your nutritional advice. I just got home from work and am running out to get some better varieties of canned cat food based on everyone's advice.
Thanks RUSTYcat for the information about medications. I started her out on the vets dosage but will be cutting the Norocam in half and monitoring her closely. I'm still a bit angry at the vet in this town. We live in an isolated area of Alberta and I do believe that this vet just picks medication out of a hat for our loving animals.
Tomorrow we are going to Calgary to see a surgeon about our oldest dog. He is a 13 year old mini-pincher/dachshund mix. He suffers from Mega-colon. I'll try to pop a few questions in about my kitty's medications if I can.
Wish me luck, and again, thanks for the advice. I am a new member and found this forum during my research on CeeCee's illness and medications. I am already happy I found it. I'll post some pictures of our animals as soon as I'm not tending to sickly animals.
Thanks so much. Keep the comments and advice coming.
Maybe you were in a hurry?
I hope you didn't mean Metacam.......
Just as a btw now, I do not allow for Metacam to be given to my cats......by injection nor orally. It is known to destroy kidney cells.
the more i learn about (some) people, the more i luv my cats
sorry... I was in a hurry. Noroclav. I will not give her Metacam after what I have been reading in my research and from you. Thanks.
