Dog Flu: Symptoms, Treatments and More
Until recently, it was thought that dogs didn't get the flu.
But in 2004, researchers looking at unexplained deaths of greyhounds at dog racing tracks discovered a new influenza virus that can infect dogs. Since then, the virus has been found in 30 states and Washington D.C., said Cynda Crawford, an assistant professor of shelter medicine at the University of Florida, who first found the flu virus. Now it's another thing dog owners need to be aware of, she said.
WebMD went to the experts to get answers to some of the biggest questions about dog flu.
1. What are the symptoms of dog flu?
Diagnosing dog flu can be difficult, Crawford said. That's because dog flu symptoms - a low fever, persistent cough, runny nose, and just feeling blah - are the same as some other common respiratory diseases. A test is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Can people catch the flu from their dog, and vice versa?
Although people and dogs can catch influenza viruses, they are susceptible to different strains of the virus, Crawford said.
For that reason, people don't need to worry about catching the flu from their dog, said Rubin Donis, PhD, chief of the molecular virology and vaccines branch at the CDC.
"We're obviously keeping an eye on that, but so far we haven't seen any evidence that people can contract the virus from their pets," Donis said.
There has been some evidence that dogs might be able to catch the flu from people, Donis said. But there's not enough data on the subject.
3. How serious is dog flu?
If your pet gets the flu, don't panic. The virus isn't highly dangerous, said Edward Dubovi, PhD, director of the virology laboratory at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine and the person who first isolated the canine influenza virus from a sample sent to him by Crawford.
But just as with people, dog flu can lead to secondary infections that could develop into life-threatening pneumonia.
"The secondary bacterial infections are where the real danger lies," Dubovi said. "But most dogs, with the proper veterinary care, aren't impacted severely."
Experts estimate the fatality rate at 1 percent to 5 percent. Crawford said the real problem is that because dogs haven't been previously exposed to the virus, they have no immunity. So nearly 100 percent of dogs exposed to dog flu catch it, and 80 percent will show symptoms within four days, she said.
4. How likely is my dog to catch dog flu?
High-risk areas for catching dog flu include boarding kennels, shelters, doggie daycares and dog parks. People who attend dog shows also have been on high alert for the virus. Joy Dillon of Nashville, Tenn., who breeds and shows Chihuahuas, says that people in the dog show circuit are vigilant about keeping sick animals out of shows.
"We're concerned, but we take precautions, and we have a great grapevine," Dillon said. "If someone's dog got sick at a show, everybody at that show would know before the next show."
Where you live also can have an impact. Crawford said that some areas, such as the east coast from Virginia to Connecticut, as well as southern Florida, the Denver area, and some parts of Texas, have had widespread outbreaks, and other areas have had none.
"We also find it's more prevalent in major metro areas, but that's probably because there are higher concentrations of dogs in those areas," she said.
Crawford said they haven't found any patterns showing dogs of certain ages or breeds to be more susceptible to the virus.
"Some dogs, like flat-faced dogs, are more at risk if they develop pneumonia, because they already have obstructed breathing passages, but they aren't more at risk of contracting the influenza virus," Crawford said.
Researchers also haven't found a seasonal element to the disease. So instead of cases increasing during the fall and winter, it seems to occur year-round.
5. How is dog flu treated?
Treatment for dog flu is very similar to that for people. Because antibiotics don't work on a virus, the usual advice is lots of rest and fluids. But antibiotics could be prescribed for secondary infections, Dubovi said.
6. Should my dog get the dog flu vaccine?
A dog flu vaccine, approved in the spring of 2009, is now available at veterinary offices. Dubovi said the vaccine won't prevent a dog from getting the virus, but it will lessen the severity and the duration of the disease. Whether or not to vaccinate is a personal choice, he said.
"If I lived in New York City and I was getting ready to board my pet for the holidays, I'd definitely get the vaccine," Dubovi said. "But if I lived in Minneapolis, where there's never been a diagnosed case, I probably wouldn't use it."
Crawford said the vaccine consists of two shots, given three weeks apart. The shots contain the killed virus and help dogs build immunity to it. She said so far dogs don't seem to have adverse reactions to the vaccine.
For most dogs, the flu is little more than an inconvenience, Crawford said.
"People really don't need to be freaked out about it. The public just needs to be aware that dogs can get the flu, too," Crawford said. "But it's very much like the flu people get. People just need to talk to their vet about their risk and whether their pet needs a vaccination."
7. Can dogs get swine flu?
Dubovi said there's no evidence that dogs get swine flu, or the H1N1 virus. But some dogs have contracted avian flu, and some cases have been fatal, he said.

As her marriage to Jack (Stanley Tucci) flounders, eminent High Court judge Fiona Maye (Emma Thompson) has a life-changing decision to make at work - should she force a teenage boy, Adam (Fionn Whitehead), to have the blood transfusion that will save his life?

A little while ago, Neil Howe called attention on his blog to a New York Times feature story about a 24-year-old Millennial who, even amidst the Great Recession, is living at home and turning down $40K job offers until just the right opportunity comes along. As Howe notes:
The story lit up a firestorm of reader responses: no less than 1,487 comments thus far, and much larger echoes on the blogosphere. Many of the commenters lambasted the NYT for suggesting that this privileged young man's experience (he lives in a nice suburban home and his dad is president of a small manufacturing company) is in any way representative of the employment hardships most youth are facing today.
But here's the part I find interesting:
Even more excoriated the young man for turning down the $40K offer—and the family for letting him live at home while turning down such offers. The most vicious remarks seemed to come from older (Generation X and Boomer) readers, who often cited their own tough, low-salary beginnings. Apparently, they disapprove of this generation's tendency to hold fast to long-term plans and dreams. Be realistic, they insist. Eat humble pie. It will be good for you (to repeat what older Chinese now tell the rising "Little Emperor" generation) to "taste bitterness."
Howe is perplexed by this reaction, citing (persuasively, I think) several mitigating factors, statistics and situational realities that make the Millennial's decisions more understandable. It's a good read, and it parallels the perspective of many Millennials in the job market today, wanting to succeed, but not willing to settle for second best.
Howe concludes his post by asking his readers:
Why do the sober-minded, future-oriented career choices of today's Millennials make so many Boomers and Xers jump up and down in agitated condemnation?
And he gets his own slew of snarky comments from Xers, including this one:
I wonder if Mr. Howe would spewing out the same supportive verbage if it was, say, the late 1980s or early 90s when most early-20 Gen Xers were emerging into the job market, donned with glorious degrees. There was a recession going on then, too, and many of us had to go back home to live until we found a job. But, if I recall, Gen X was looked down upon for not being able to land stellar jobs with fabulous degrees and stuck living at home. As such, I wonder if this clearly Boomer parent would've been quite so supportive of a Gen Xer turning down a $40K a year job while living at home, hmmm? I think we know the answer to that one.
Okay. So why am I going into so much detail on this? Because as I said in my recent Only Xers Care About Work/Life Balance post, I sense an undercurrent of jealousy in a lot of Xer talk about Millennials. After all, we had to pay our dues when we were 20-something, taking any job we could find and clawing our way into leadership positions by compromising our values and learning to play by the rules set by the generation that preceded us. Why should Millennials be spared that difficulty and humiliation? Why should they be able to set their own rules and write their own tickets?
Here's a quick story.
I went to the University of Wisconsin in the late 1980s. Back then, in order to register for your classes at the start of each year, you had to hike all the way out to the Stock Pavilion on the western edge of the campus (the Stock Pavilion where livestock were once housed, shown and judged), stand in line like cattle to get your registation forms, and then march all over campus to the different buildings to get your forms signed by the appropriate departmental paper pushers. Need to take that Physics 201 class? Better get yourself over to the Physics building before all the sections with the good teaching assistants are taken. And what about that foriegn language requirement? Do you know where you need to go for that? Is that in the Humanities building?
In my senior year they introduced a new telephone registration system where students could do all of that by pushing buttons on their dorm room phones rather than hoofing it all over town--and many of the seniors I knew were angry (and jealous) that the new freshmen coming in wouldn't have to suffer the same difficulties and indignities we had all suffered for years. Why shouldn't they have to pay their dues? We did! These young kids--they've got it too easy and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.
It's the same thing today. When young people have access to better opportunities than we did, why do we berate them for having the simple sense to take advantage of them? Do we expect them to adopt the same herd mentality we did?

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Two New Rochelle firefighters were injured Friday night battling a structure fire on Petersville Road said NRFD Deputy Fire Chief Scott Bradley. The location was 100 yards from Holy Name Church.
One firefighter fell down stairs. Another was overcome by heat exhaustion. Both were take to Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital. This according to Bradley.
The fire may be the result of illegal electrical work done by contractors who were on scene when the fire started.
"We had heavy smoke on arrival," said Bradley. "It looked like fire was in the wall."
"It was a stubborn fire, we had to do a lot of opening up, opening up the roof," said Bradley. "We got it under control in and about an hour, hour and a half."
The homeowners were not present. Workers inside the home at the time of the fire got out on their own. The house is not inhabitable.
Officials from the New Rochelle Buildings Bureau were on scene and interviewed the workers. Building inspectors had previously raised concerns that work was going on at the house without permits.
Yonkers and White Plains responded to mutual aid calls.

"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." – Hippocrates
Food and nutrition are the foundation of optimal health and wellness; we are only as strong as the food we eat and absorb. With this in mind, every treatment plan Merritt creates includes nutrition recommendations that optimize digestion and make it easy for your body to extract all of the nutrients that it needs to thrive.
In Chinese Medicine, nutrition is one of the 5 "branches" of a complete medical system, meaning that it is an innate and essential tool for healing. There is no "one size fits all" approach to nutrition and diet therapy. Each person has unique needs and patterns and requires different foods and supplements to achieve their own personal optimal health.
Eat Well, Be Well
- Eat whole foods
- Eat until your full, and not beyond
- Eat plants – LOTS of plants!
- Cook most of your meals at home
- Include healthy fat in your daily meals
- Include healthy protein in your daily meals
- Limit refined and processed foods like sugar & flour
- Eat joyfully! Food should be delicious, nutritious and enjoyable
Along with being a Licensed Acupuncturist, Merritt is also a Certified Nutritionist and loves working (and playing!) with food.
Yours in good health,

A couple of years ago, my dad asked me who I thought the great American authors of the latter half of the 20th century and today are, and who I thought would be held in the same regard that authors like Kesey, Hemingway, Vonnegut, Kerouac, etc. are now.
I had two names at the time: David Foster Wallace and Dave Eggers.
I like both, but prefer the latter; I read "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" in the fall of 2009, two years after the death of my mom, and partly on a flight to San Francisco. I spent a week in the city the majority of the book takes place in visiting a friend going to art school there at the time. That book spoke to me in a way few others had, and I couldn't put it down.
Also in 2009, he co-wrote the screenplay for one of my top ten favorite movies, "Away We Go," which also deals with dead parents and becoming a grown-up whether you think you can or not.
I have not read any of his other books, much less his most recent, but I knew I loved what I'd read/experienced so far. I found out the week before last he was going to be at the independent book store by my house and immediately called the owner for an interview for 60625. She was excited, but didn't have a lot to say. I got the idea to speak with a local writer who volunteers for Eggers' charitable organization 826, and who was also very recently published on McSweeney's. He also had ties with the book store. I was happy with that angle, and the story got a lot of play.
Despite that, the event Saturday was not the insane crowd I thought it would be.
Kevin and I went to the Book Cellar at 9, an hour early, afraid a line would have already formed down Lincoln Ave. We got there, and there was no one. We looked for a sign saying the event had been cancelled due to bad weather but there was none. We went across the street to Cafe Selmarie and had breakfast, and when we came out ten minutes before the store opened, we were still among the first five or six people there. A crowd slowly began to form, but by 10:20, the store was full.
Dave Eggers walked in the front door shortly after we did, nonchalantly smiling as he walked over to the table directly in front the one Kevin and I claimed. He sat down and people started coming up to him in order of arrival, with copies of his new book.
Kevin and I each got a copy, and the book store employee had us tell him what name we wanted each book made out to. He wrote each name on a Post-It which he put inside on the book's title page.
While we waited at our table, I started to feel really nervous. I've never met anyone remotely famous, unless you count John Glenn when I was a toddler, and that time Richard Schiff from the West Wing said a brief hello to my 7th grade class when we saw the filming of a scene by the Potomac on our trip to D.C. Luckily we stopped to talk to one of the other reporters who covers Lincoln Square. We caught up on local shop talk with her, so during that time I forgot to be scared of talking to Dave Eggers.
The thing is, I pictured this book signing as: We buy his book, we hand it to him, we awkwardly smile while he signs it, and then maybe we ask him for a picture if he didn't look like he'd be super annoyed by the request. That's not how it was — people ahead of us in line sat with him at his table and chatted, some for as many as five or ten minutes. I did not have enough to say to Dave Eggers for five minutes, of this I was sure.
When it was our turn, we went up together with our two books. I shook his hand and introduced myself.
"Is that Marilyn, you said?" he asked. "No, it's Meryl, like Meryl Streep," I said, which is my reflex answer to anyone who seems confused by my name.
He signed my book and asked us if we lived close by. We said we did, and I told him I thought it was really nice of him to take the time to talk to all of these people. He said he didn't mind, and that he didn't get to Chicago as often as he liked on tours.
Kevin told him he volunteers for 826 and thanked him for the good work he does with it, and I was so proud of Kevin for actually saying something relevant to his work. I felt silly gushing over his 13-year-old memoir and even sillier telling him I loved "Away We Go" when he's written so many books.
He was extremely friendly and so approachable. I hated the thought of discovering he was a jerk in real life, so I am relieved that was not the case. We were respectful of his time, but I don't think he would have minded if we'd stayed a while.
My reporter friend Patty sent me some photos she got of me sitting with Eggers later that day. It's not every day someone takes a picture of you sitting across from one of your favorite writers.

To support customers in immediately making an impact on the metrics that matter the most (increasing efficiencies, reducing complexity / costs, increasing revenues, and most importantly increasing customer satisfaction), SOPRIS has defined an advanced set of solutions targeting business problems within the areas of Service Assurance and end-user experience. SOPRIS leverages its deep Software, IT networking and telecommunications expertise and it's proven delivery skills, along with the rich set of capabilities brought by a very complete and innovative ecosystem of leading partner solutions.
Infrastructure Monitoring Service Assurance Solution
SOPRIS' Zenoss certified practice handles one of the broadest range of services around Zenoss offered in the market e.g. including acquisition of Zenoss software, deployment, and customized integration. Additionally, SOPRIS offers advanced services such as development of complex ZenPacks e.g. for monitoring of telco network elements, as well as on-site customized Zenoss training (English, Spanish). The SOPRIS Zenoss practice is the go-to, one-stop shop for Zenoss solution needs across the Americas, with a footprint and resources placed across Latin America.

Application Monitoring Service Assurance Solution
Video Service Quality of Experience (QoE) Assurance Solution
Fixed Network Service Assurance Solution and Mobile Network Service Assurance Solution
These capabilities help network operators to extend the visibility of the networks all the way to the end-user device. For example, fixed service operators are generally unable to understand performance beyond the residential gateway, leaving them "blind" to the service performance inside the residential homes, where often 70-90% of service issues occur. Yet, end-users do not understand nor discriminate such boundaries when taking their poor service frustrations to customer care teams.
IT Operations Solution (People/Process/Systems)
For example, if a customer intends to pursue a new revenue stream such as monitoring as a service, yet requires a trained team to operate the new monitoring as a service solution, SOPRIS can design, plan and staff these needs directly or through its managed service providers (MSP) partners. Another example is helping customers in terms of supporting and preparing existing operations teams to operate their new advanced solutions. Through SOPRIS University, SOPRIS delivers advanced training, which can be tailored to specific needs, and can augment existing staff with skilled resources to help facilitate the transition.

Since Obama's announcement that he supported same-sex marriage, gay couples around the world have started planning wedding ceremonies, whether it is legal in their country or not. It is likely to be a long time before same-sex marriages become legal in Japan, but it hasn't stopped one lesbian couple from making plans to hold a "commitment ceremony" at Tokyo Disneyland.
"My partner and I just love going to Disneyland, so when we saw a pamphlet advertising wedding receptions by the Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland we called and asked if we could hold our wedding there," Higashi told Reuters in a telephone interview.
But Higashi is openly lesbian and her upcoming commitment ceremony is being characterised in the media as the first "gay wedding" to be held at Japan's Magic Kingdom.
When Higashi gave them details of her plans, the hotel initially had one request.
"When I explained it would be with my female partner they hesitated and asked that one of us wear a tuxedo as the sight of two people with the same wedding dress would make other visitors to the park uncomfortable," Higashi said.
After she questioned this, the resort promised to check things out and get back to her. A week later, Higashi was told she and her partner would be allowed to both wear wedding dresses, or both tuxedos, if so inclined.

Entrepreneurship runs in my blood, so it wasn't difficult for me to step outside my comfort zone and take control of my income. I realize that not everyone has an entrepreneurial spirit, and that's perfectly okay. But if you've ever thought about starting a side hustle, diversifying your income and creating another income stream can take your personal finances to another level.
This doesn't mean you have to turn a side hustle into a full-fledged empire where you quit your job and 100% support yourself with business earnings. Your business can eventually grow to this point, but it doesn't have to. Some people start a side business with hopes of replacing their full-time income, whereas others use their hustle to generate extra cash for paying off debt or saving up to buy a house.
Regardless of the driving force behind your decision, here's what you should know before starting a side hustle.
Understand Your Employer's Policy
If you're thinking about a side hustle, it only makes sense to choose a business you're familiar with, and one you're passionate about. This can shorten the learning curve, allowing you to jump into the business quicker and earn money faster.
You have the freedom to choose any side hustle you want. But if you're choosing a hustle that's closely related to your day job, make sure you understand your employer's policy about moonlighting. Depending on what you do for a living, your employer may not have a problem with your business, as long as it doesn't affect the company.
For example, if you work as a staff writer for a newspaper or magazine, your employer may be okay with you accepting freelance work. But the company may take issue if you freelance for a direct competitor. You can also run into problems if you start contacting your employer's customers or clients. Even if you didn't sign a non-compete agreement with your employer, stealing clients can put your job in jeopardy.
Side Hustle Money Isn't Free Money
You may see your side hustle as nothing more than a fun way to earn a few extra bucks every month, but the IRS may view things differently. Even if money from your hustle isn't used for bills and it's just "play money," it's still considered income depending on how much you earn. Just like any other income, you have to pay taxes on this money.
The amount you owe in taxes varies depending on how much you earn and your tax bracket. Speak with a tax accountant for additional information. A professional can estimate how much you need to set aside for taxes and provide instructions on how to pay taxes quarterly to avoid a penalty.
Also, you need to be cognizant of how much income your hustle generates. If your business takes off and you start earning a lot of money, this can potentially push you into a higher tax bracket. The upside is that you can write off expenses related to your business, which helps lower your taxable income and can keep your tax liability within an affordable range.
Don't Quit Your Day Job Too Soon
Even if you never had intentions of quitting your job, your side business could grow to a level you never expected—to the point where you can realistically walk away from your job. But don't make the mistake of quitting your day job too soon.
There's a lot of uncertainty when running a business. Your income can fluctuate from week to week, month to month and year to year. Some people jump the gun and give up the security of a full-time job as soon as income from their side business is enough to pay their bills. But the reality is, if earnings from a side hustle "just" cover living expenses, then you're not ready to quit your job.
From personal experience, I recommend quitting your job once you have at least three to six months' income in a cash reserve, and only when income from your side hustle brings in more cash than you need. This way, if you were to lose a client or contract, you'll be able to maintain your expenses as you look for new business.
Also, don't forget that leaving your full-time job can also mean leaving behind certain benefits, such as paid or partially paid health insurance or a 401(k) match. You'll have to pay these expenses out-of-pocket, so take these costs into consideration when deciding whether you can afford to quit your job.
Whether you want to supplement your income and stop living paycheck-to-paycheck, or you're ready to stop punching a time clock, a side hustle puts you closer to your goals. But you have to know the right way to proceed.
What else should you keep in mind when starting a side hustle?

"From small beginnings to transformative change"
An access to justice movement is about action across the justice system. The more the movement takes off, the more justice system stakeholders will be engaged in access-to-justice innovation. One of A2JBC's roles is to inspire innovation.
Innovation initiatives are ways of starting small to test things out. From small beginnings, initiatives can become transformative if they feed into bigger change. A2JBC, by connecting justice system stakeholders, provides opportunities to share what can be learned from individual initiatives to stimulate further innovation and move to implementation of innovative ideas in the mainstream justice system.
Transforming the justice system requires a shift in the way the justice system approaches justice improvement. This is the A2JBC approach: collaborative, user-centred, experimental, and evidence-based. A2JBC supports justice system stakeholders in applying this approach.
It was decided in February 2016 to encourage the development of a small number of A2JBC initiatives as testing grounds and exemplars of the A2JBC approach. These initiatives are collaborative and rely on justice system stakeholders for implementation.
A2JBC identified family and Aboriginal issues as its two initial priorities. During 2016, three family initiatives emerged, which hold the promise of making a difference to BC families experiencing separation or divorce in accessing justice. Working with the BC Aboriginal Justice Council and the Cowichan Tribes, a fourth initiative was identified in the area of Indigenous child well-being where it intersects with the justice system.
The four initiatives are:
The purpose of the A2JBC Unbundling initiative is to improve access to justice for BC families experiencing separation or divorce by encouraging more BC family lawyers to offer unbundled legal services to the public and to connect those lawyers to families who need such services.
Skills for Changing Families
The purpose of the Skills for Changing Families initiative is to improve access to justice for high conflict BC families experiencing separation or divorce by supporting them (through court direction, counselling, skills development and specialized mediation) to manage their differences without recourse to lengthy and repetitive, expensive and stress-producing court processes.
Family Justice Pathfinder
The purpose of the Family Justice Pathfinder initiative is to improve access to justice for BC families experiencing separation or divorce by connecting them with affordable services they need (legal and other) to help them identify and navigate successfully the pathway that works best for them.
Cowichan Tribes Justice
The purpose of the Cowichan Tribes Justice initiative is to improve access to justice for First Nations in British Columbia and reduce the number of Indigenous children in care by implementing procedures into the BC child protection court system that reflect Indigenous legal traditions.

In what had been widely anticipated, the government proposes to introduce a property tax on residential property with affect from July 2013. The tax is to be self assessed with home owners having to decide what value from €100,000, their property is worth. There will be bands of €50,000 and revenue will take a mid range point between bands. Therefore for example, if a homeowner assessed their property between €150,000-€200,000, the tax would be assessed on €175,000. The rate of tax will be based on 0.18% of properties up to €1,000,000 and at 0.25% on property values over €1,000,000. A typical home value of say €250,000 will attract a tax of €450.00. It is felt with values now 50% or less than at peak levels, most homeowners will be paying in the order of €300 for a full year which will begin form January 2014.
Gerard O'Toole, Director of Tuohy O'Toole and current Vice Chair of the Western Region of Society of Chartered Surveyors, was interviewed live of RTE, and commented "that Society of Chartered Surveyors broadly welcomes the property tax provisions. Whilst we understand that they will not be welcome, the country had to broaden the tax base and we were one of the few countries in Europe that did not have a property based tax. However, we do have some reservations in that we felt the tax should have been based on occupation and not ownership, similar to how commercial rates are determined. Moreover, it was important for property owners to be given very clear guidance on the system which I understand that Revenue are to provide. Finally it was important to see some transparency surrounding the use to which these funds would be put to as they should be ring fenced for the provision of local services only".

A very sad thing happened on Saturday. Tai Lam, a 14 year old boy and a student of the school for the gifted in math and sciences Montgomery Blair, was shot down by a gunman who appears to have just been looking for a fight.
This story affected me pretty profoundly – I actually burst into tears when I read it. I didn't know Tai Lam, but he lived and died right around the corner from where I grew up. The neighborhood I grew up in was a rough one. It was mainly populated by Central and South American immigrants and African-Americans. Being one of the few white-skinned kids wasn't always easy. But the thing that united us all was our poverty and the problems it caused. And one of the first things that happens in the face of systemic poverty is violence. We had gangs. We had drugs. We had parents that were never home because they had to work long hours (mine included).
I was lucky because I was white-skinned. I didn't fit in anywhere, except in the world outside of our neighborhood. I remember the year when my friends became color conscious (it happens around ages 11 or 12). Skin color was the defining factor, the definition of my neighborhood. You could only live on one side of the street if you were African-American. If you were Latino, you could only live on the other. Violence was frequent because posturing was everything. When you have nothing, all that's left is your honor and reputation.
I had hoped that it had changed. It obviously has not. I think that's why I found myself crying for Tai Lam and his family tonight.
Dear Tai Lam, I am so so sorry that you didn't get a chance to escape the cycle. You were a Blair student – you probably would have had a bright future in front of you. It is the saddest of worlds in which poverty is created and allowed to oppress people in this way. You will undoubtedly be in my thoughts for a long time to come.
Edited To Add: Reading the comments on this post about Tai Lam also make me sad, since half of them are blaming "the Mexicans", while complaining that "Mexicans" think that all Asians are the same. This is the damage of bigotry, folks. When does the cycle end?

Emeryville, California—Sept. 24—The first expansion to acclaimed deckbuilding game Puzzle Strike, along with the third edition of the base game, will be shipped to Kickstarter backers Sept. 28, and will be widely available Oct. 28. Both games are published by Sirlin Games, and can be played independently of each other or combined for maximum gameplay options.
Designed by David Sirlin, designer of Yomi and Flash Duel, and the video games Street Fighter HD Remix and Puzzle Fighter HD Remix, this eagerly-awaited update and expansion caters to both casual and hardcore, competitive players.
"This new edition of Puzzle Strike is the result of years of playtesting and development," Sirlin said. "I firmly believe that serious, tournament-worthy games can also be friendly to new or casual players, and we have achieved that balance with this version. Online playtesters have enjoyed thousands of games using the new rules and characters, and yet it still only takes a few minutes to teach a new player how to play."
In April 2012, Sirlin Games launched a campaign on the popular crowd-funding website Kickstarter to help cover the costs of new components for the release. The initial Kickstarter goal of $15,000 was met almost five times over, raising nearly $75,000 raised in total. This outpour of support from the community allowed Sirlin Games to lower the price while including more in the box: each new set now ships with game boards and privacy screens.
"The great thing about the Kickstarter is that we can actually include more stuff in the box but offer the games at a lower price than ever before," Sirlin said. "So all players can benefit from the support of our fans. And in turn, the fans who helped us with the Kickstarter get the game a month before the general public."
Puzzle Strike 3rd Edition and Puzzle Strike Shadows are both currently available for pre-order at sirlingames.com for $49.99 each. Also newly available is a strategy guide designed to introduce players to higher level tactics for every aspect of the game. Puzzle Strike is distributed by Game Salute.
Review copies are available upon request; David Sirlin is also available for interviews. Contact email@example.com for details. More details and images for media are available online at the Puzzle Strike Press Kit and high-resolution images are available in our Puzzle Strike Gallery.
Sirlin Games creates premium, designer games, specializing in asymmetric games — the kind where players control different characters, each with different abilities and personalities. Years of care go into these game designs to make sure they strike the right balance of depth and elegance and to make sure the characters are balanced against each other.

Parging is defined as applying a thin coat of mortar or plaster on a construction. It is used to resurface, to coat and to repair masonry and to protect it from moisture. Parging can be applied on the side of the house, in the basement and on any wall or block made of concrete.
Cinder-block foundations or walls can become unattractive over the years, due to discoloration and chipping. Parging will smooth out the surface and cover its imperfections.
Parging, Step-by-Step
Paint, tar and glue are removed with a hand grinder before parging. Then, by using the cutting edge of the disk grinder, small vertical cracks are cut into the wall every foot or so. This will help the parging cement to adhere to the wall. All debris must be removed from the wall, including spider webs and insects' nests.
The parging material is made of sand, Portland cement and other aggregates. A pointed trowel is needed to scoop up the parging mix and to spread it evenly in one or two 1/8 inches thick layers, depending on the foundation. Once the application process is over, allow the wall to dry for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before putting on a coat of paint.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Extreme Foundation Repairs!

How to recover data when you accidentally drop your iPad and cause data loss?
To protect your iPhone thoroughly, an iPad screen protector is not enough. Data loss is something inevitable during our daily use of digital products. To prevent such thing from happening, you can either back up your iPad periodically or get a data recovery program to help you when you encounter data loss.
Check out Leawo iOS Data Recovery, it is an all-in-one data recovery tool for iOS devices like iPad, which gets 3 recovery modes that allow you to recover data from iOS device itself, iTunes backup and iCloud backup. What is more, it supports recovering up to 14 types of data including Contacts, Messages, Call History, WhatsApp, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, Message Attachments, Voice Memos and WhatsApp Attachments. You can use it to back up the above-mentioned files to your computer or recover your lost data when encounter data loss. Here's how to use it to recover lost or deleted data from your iPad.
Step 1: Download and launch the Leawo iOS Data Recovery in your computer. Connect the iPad to computer with a USB cable. Then click the first tab on the main interface of the program.
Step 2: After the software detect iPad, click Start button to start scanning your device.
Step 3: After the scanning process is finished, you will notice the list of all the data on your device. To find the deleted items quickly, enable Only display the deleted items. Check all the files and data you want to recover and click Recover button.
Step 4: A window is supposed to show up and ask you to set the path to save all the files and data you want to recover. After setting, you can click Go button to start recovering data to your computer.

Eleven more prep days until we leave for the Kentucky Sheep & Fiber Festival on the 17th. Those eleven days are going to be full ones.
Yesterday, Sandy and I spent several hours dyeing the shirts we already had tied. In fact, there are six full trays and two full half trays of colorful baby items, purses and T-shirts for kids and adults. On top of that, there are two containers full of socks being parfait dyed. Tonight I'll get the first round of washing them out done.
Saturday, besides prepping the dye area for Sunday, I discharge several tied black shirts. They turned out very interesting looking and I can't wait to see what people think of them. Of course, I still have to press them, tag them and add them into inventory, but at least they are ready for that part.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Kentucky in two weeks!

My "College" Love Life
Created by hxcsingingsk8r and read 2681 times.
Introduction The sequel to my highschool love life story. If you haven't read that one, read it first and everything here will make a lot more sense. This story picks up in 2011, right after I graduated highschool and it will continue on until I SHOULD HAVE graduated college in 2015, but college didn't really work out for me in the end....
Chapter 5 - Pennsylvania
It had only been a week or two since Cameron and I had gotten back together and my family had now figured it out. We had been planning a trip to Pennsylvania right around then. That's where we were originally from and that's where all my aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents still lived. We had been planning to visit for my grandma's 80th birthday party. She was planning a big event for it. Coincidentally, Cameron's father had also moved to Pennsylvania a few years back with his wife and they had a new born baby boy whom Cameron had not yet met. His name was Phillip, but they called him PJ as a nickname. It just so happened that Cameron would be in Pennsylvania, visiting at the exact same time as me! He left a week before me and I was begging my family to let him come to my grandma's party, but they kept saying no. They were still mad at Cameron for breaking my heart, but I kept saying that it didn't matter because we were back together. My older cousin, Ben was bringing his girlfriend to the party and I didn't understand why I couldn't bring my boyfriend. They just kept saying, "That's different, Ben is older." It made no sense to me, but that was their final answer.
Anyway, we went off to Pennsylvania and had a great time seeing the family, and my grandma's party came and passed. The day after the party, my family agreed to let me see Cameron, but only if I could find a ride. His dad agreed to come and pick me up. It had been a week or so since I'd seen Cameron and I already missed him so much. He was waiting in the back seat of the car when they arrived, and I jumped in next to him and we cuddled for the whole hour drive back to his dad's house. It was only my second time meeting Cameron's dad, as he had visited us in Arizona once, a couple years before this.
We arrived at Cameron's dad's place and I was introduced to Cameron's step-mom whom I'd never met before. She was really nice! I also got to hold Cameron's baby brother and everyone could tell that I was nervous. They were really surprised when I told them that I'd never held a baby before. There were no babies in my family. Everyone in my family was seventeen and older. After touring the house and meeting everyone and talking for a bit, we all got in the car and went out for a lunch. They brought me to a nice little restaurant in the city, where I got a caesar salad. They paid for it and everything! It was really nice of them. We went back to their house for a little after lunch, and then they drove me back to my grandparents' home, where I was staying with my parents and brother. I was so happy I got to see Cameron on our vacation, and I knew it wouldn't be long before I saw him again in Arizona.

Padstow has so many restaurants and cafe's to suit all tastes, I have written on previous blogs about restaurants where we as a family have enjoyed a good dining experience. My favourite little cafe is Cherry Trees which is right on Padstow Harbour, in my opinion they do the best latte in Padstow and I love their scrambled eggs on toast!
Apart from delicious breakfasts and lunches Cherry Trees has an amazing mouthwatering selection of cakes! My family loves cakes and on a previous blog I wrote about a saffron cake which I bought from The Chough Bakery on Padstow Harbour, I tried to replicate this saffron cake at home but as Craig Revel Horwood would say it was a disaster darling! My sad attempt is pictured below I blame the recipe (of course) it was a James Martin recipe from Good Food magazine but only said half a teaspoon of yeast -no wonder it sunk in the middle! Don't hang up your apron yet Mary Berry!
Another favourite of ours is the little cafe above the harbour called Green's cafe, we like to play a round of crazy golf which is next door to Green's cafe and then have one of their delicous cakes and a cup of tea whilst enjoying panoramic views of Padstow and the Camel estuary, you can see all the boats coming in and out of Padstow Harbour!
If anyone reading this has a foolproof recipe for Saffron cake I would love to hear from you! Perhaps we should have a who can bake the best saffron cake competition in Padstow?

Review of the film One Day starring Anne Hathaway & Jim Sturgess, directed by Lone Scherfig, based on the novel by David Nicholls
Dir: Lone Scherfig (An Education)
Cast: Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Rafe Spall, Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott, Romola Garai
Seen: August 19, 2011 at the Varsity
Reason to see: It's part of the 2011 Book to Film Club and on my list of Most Anticipated Films of 2011 (mid-year addition)
I was really excited to finally see One Day. I loved the book, which we read in May for the Book to Film Club and book selection especially it's unusually narrative structure of touching base with out two protagonists Emma & Dexter on the same day year after year. I thought the casting for them was perfect with Anne Hathaway (Devil Wears Prada, Rachel Getting Married) as the bookish Emma and Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe, Heartless) as the flash hipster Dexter, and the both completely embody their characters which made it easy for me to love the film. And I really loved the film. I LOVED it. I love how it incorporated the unusually narrative structure and stayed very true to the book (I actually can't think of any deviation), which I can only imagine would be due to the writer David Nicholls also penning the screenplay.
I love how the film shows a lot of the everyday lives of Dex & Em, and how it can vary on good days to bad day because it's always on the same day of the year and you just don't know how it will turn out. How Emma can be down on herself and Dexter can be too high on himself and somehow they barrage each other to meet in the middle. It's a slice after slice after slice of their lives, each of them building, growing and toppling in different directions but still always being themselves, for better or for worse. It also manages to accomplish feeling of the depth you get from slow burn building of the stories, but it in fact the film goes by rather quickly. The result is a compromise of knowing rather than seeing the depth of the friendship between Dexter and Emma grow over time, which is my only criticisms of the film. And that's barely a criticism of the film because I didn't actually need it, but I did want it. I always believed the stage and strength or fragility between them, no matter when in time it was. I just wanted to see it more of them.
One personal treat of the film is the art director, costuming and hair. I might appreciate this more than other films as it's officially the first 'period piece' that I've lived through all the stages and I remember all the clothes, hair, glasses and heck even lighting trends of the time and they are all spot on. That gave the film something a little extra special because I could remember when I would have wore that dress or when everyone went for a certain style or when something was new, or when something had started to fade away. The film is very much about the long-term and how relationships can change and grow over time as well as how some things never change no matter how hard you try (or pretend to try).
But it's really about the characters of Em & Dex, and Anne Hathaway & Jim Sturgess are brilliant here, truly making the film. I think I'm slightly influenced as I heard the casting before reading it or just after I started and I could see them as the characters - especially Jim Sturgess as Dex. And I don't what they did to make him look different in the earlier years, but I didn't even really recognize him and somehow that was perfect too. Then all of a sudden it was like there! There he is! Really bizarre. The supporting I didn't know about going in and ended up being such a treat, Patricia Clarkson & Ken Stott as Dexter's parents gave a lovely depth to his character which can all to easily be brushed off as unlikable. But the biggest surprize was Rafe Spall as Ian, who is the funniest non-funny guy I've ever seen. Brilliant. So brilliant.
If you read and enjoyed the book I'd highly recommend seeing the film, and if you haven't I would recommend checking out the book first. For people that haven't read the book, it's easy to misinterpret it as quirky cute or straight up romance but it's truly about life, love and real relationships. It's neither over the top whimsy nor gritty and dark, but fits solidly and perfectly as genuine and real. I loved it.

Shannon's Overall View:
I loved it
I'll buy it
I'd highly recommend it to fans of the book, relationship dramas and dramas

Great Review! Sturgess and Hathaway are fun to watch together, but the rest of the film just feels like a gimmick that was done wrong, and brings nothing new at all to the conventions of the romantic drama. Check out my review when you can!

text: TV Rachel Dolezal to Break Silence on Race Controversy on 'Today' 3:49 PM PDT 6/15/2015 by Ryan Gajewski FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME AP Images Dolezal stepped down Monday as president of the NAACP's Spokane chapter amid accusations that she misrepresented her race. Rachel Dolezal is ready to tell her side of the story. Dolezel, who resigned her post as NAACP chapter president Monday amid controversy that she is a white woman pretending to be black, will sit down for a live interview Tuesday with Matt Lauer on NBC's Today to give her first comments since the flap. She also will take part in separate interviews with NBC Nightly News' Savannah Guthrie, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry and NBCBLK, the network's African-American online vertical. Dolezal's parents spoke to MSNBC on Monday, with her father, Larry Dolezal, saying they supported their daughter's decision to resign. "I pray that she will take the steps necessary to embrace her true personal identity and not feel compelled any longer to be false or malicious toward her family," her mother, Ruthanne Dolezal, said. In a statement on the NAACP Spokane, Washington, chapter's Facebook page, Dolezal said she was stepping down because of the increased focus on her "personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity."

Medieval handwork is a place that I have set up to document the various projects that I am working on. It is a place that I can share the good, the back and often the really ugly about the work.
Medieval embroidery is a journey, a trip through time, with a glimpse into the lives of people long past who leave us snippets of their world. Amazing, frustrating, entertaining and always educational, its a passion that I share with many of my friends.

I don't know why I've had people ask me lately if you can reverse pressure ulcer stages for Stage I and II ulcers, but you can't, and CMS has clarified M1324 in a recent Q&A.
CMS also clarified an M1307 question dealing with a pressure ulcer that progressed from Stage I to Stage II during the episode:
Question: If the patient had a Stage I pressure ulcer at SOC that progressed to a Stage II, how do we answer M1307 at discharge?
CMS Answer: If a patient had a Stage I pressure ulcer at SOC/ROC and it advanced to a Stage II by discharge, Response "1-Was present at the most recent SOC/ROC assessment" would be appropriate due to the fact that the ulcer, caused by pressure, was present at the most recent SOC/ROC assessment, even though it was a Stage I at that time.

PRATTA, Guillermo; ZORZOLI, Roxana and PICARDI, Liliana Amelia. Multivariate analysis as a tool for measuring the stability of morphometric traits in Lycopersicon plants from in vitro culture. Genet. Mol. Biol. [online]. 2000, vol.23, n.2, pp.479-493. ISSN 1678-4685. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1415-47572000000200039.
The phenotypic stability of morphometric traits in Lycopersicon spp. (stem perimeter at the base, middle and top, and number of flowers per cluster) was measured by multivariate analysis through a progeny test in order to estimate the genetic stability of these traits. Principal components were calculated for two groups of Lycopersicon spp., non-regenerated plants and the progeny of regenerated plants. Analysis of variance was performed to support principal component analysis. Both groups presented similar eigenvalues and eigenvectors, while no significant differences were found between any of the traits studied. These results indicated that the phenotypic structure was the same among the progeny of regenerated and non-regenerated plants, so that no variation would occur in in vitro culture. Multivariate analysis proved to be an appropriate methodology for the measurement of the stability of morphometric traits after one regeneration cycle.
