Halloween is coming! Halloween is coming! This is such a fun holiday to decorate for. You can let out all of your inner morbid self, oo-oo, ah-ah! Somehow that just doesn't look as spooky typed as it does in my head, lol!
These are treat holders made with the Petite Pocket die and the Core'dinations Early Espresso cardstock. It would make sense that I love this stuff since I have inked and distresses my way through many a project! These whip up so fast and easy, I could make several in a sort amount of time. I used a couple of embossing folders here on just the front flap after I die cut the pocket, then sanded the embossing to highlight the details, very dramatic. The 2½" circle punch made the perfect curve in the image panel for the spider pocket, which was a fun discovery, yeah!
More cards for Operation Write Home! They needed more General cards and so I made some with no sentiment on them at all. I sure thought I needed this stamp set in a hurry this summer, but this is the first time I have used it. Partly because I haven't been stamping as much as I used to as I try to be more active :) But I do need my stampin time too!
I just got some Early Espresso embossing powder, and it is a thing of beauty! I embossed the poppies on First Edition DSP, then colored with Blender pen and markers.
The black Rhinestones are from the Designer Jewels Black Flourish from a couple year ago. You know, you can still order them with in On-line order, just enter the item number (120987) and they are 1.99 last I checked. You can get the Raven Black Lace (120988 for 2.39) that way too! I use the black Rhinestones for little eyes too. Love them!
I only colored the poppies in one card, it takes some time! But I found that the Early Espresso ink appears to be waterproof on the Very Vanilla! That is so awesome!
Time to find some inspiration and I found a sketch and a technique that I could not pass up :) It was much easier than I thought it would be, and I made several of this card to send in my Operation Write Home box. Anybody else working on stuff to send to them? I would love to hear about what you are doing for charitable projects!
This is the sketch. The ladies at Friday Mashup do a great job of inspiring us all. GO check them out if you haven't already :) There is a link in their post on how to do the Starburst technique.
I had actually forgotten I had this pack of Floral District DSP. I really don't use DSP enough. ANd do you see how well the paper and this image from You Are Loved coordinate?! I just ♥ SU. And yes, I did sew on the paper instead of using a white gel pen :) I do have my sewing machine set up in the same room as my stamps, I just don't go use it enough!
Had to have the flowers on the inside too. I purposely left this a blank card so it can be for whatever it is needed for.
As I sit here eating some delicious homemade peach crumble fresh from the oven, the sun is starting to set. I have my deck door open just a few feet from me and I am listening to the wind in the trees. Ahhh, autumn! The leaves are starting to turn and the weather has cooled just enough to be my favorite temps.
I was inspired by Andrea Walford from the PaperCraftersLibrary for this card. I changed the colors, used the Core'dinations paper and sanded it, added a ribbon detail, added paper piercing, and changed the leaf stamp set. I just love it! I made a pile of these to go to Operation Write Home. If you haven't heard of it, go check it out, it is a very worthy cause.
This is actually the first version of the card, which I changed after reading more of the guidelines. It pays to do that now and again as they are not always what I remember them to be, he-he! They don't recommend the buttons and other bulky embellishments as the cards sometimes get beat up on the way from the soldiers to their families and friends.
The last of the Holiday Mini Swap cards that I made! Lots of layers here. I actually used MDS to print the DSP as I had a picture in my head of what I wanted to make, and I had to have that Razzleberry polka dot print!
I stamped the main image twice, once in Rich Razzleberry and once in Crumb Cake, die cut the Crumb Cake with the Window Frames die and hand cut the Razzleberry piece. I wanted a lot of contrasting texture and the feel of a country setting. Think wood caskets for aging the wine, simply elegant picnic settings, and the rich colors of fall harvest.
I just love this little owl! And Owl Occasions has a ton of accessories to make him perfect for several occasions :) This card is another one I made for the Holiday Mini swap I participated in.
Lots of marker to stamp here, and so worth it! I think this turned out adorable. The main image die cut is actually the Window Frame die with 2 of the half circle edges cut off.
Ok, I just realized how much I have neglected my blog in the last month or so. I have been out having fun in the summer sun. Yes, I took some vacation and did not bring my stampin' stuff. Can you believe it?
In the mean time, I have yet to post my Holiday Mini Swap projects, so here is the first one I will share with you.
And how about some more banners? Makes me think of a party!

Q: using jquery to select data-letter

3

Is any way to select element by data-letter?
ex. I want to select data-letter "2"

A: Use attribute selector
$("[data-letter='2']").html()

A: $("div").each(function(){
  if($(this).attr("data-letter")=="2")
  {
    alert($(this).html());
  }
});

OR
If there are many div's with data-letter = 2 ,then do as :
$("div[data-letter='2']").each(function(){
   alert($(this).html());
});

if there is only one div with data-letter = 2 ,then do as :
$("div[data-letter='2']").html()

Tyler is very talented, bright, professional and most importantly a dedicated, hard worker. He sold our home in record time and worked with us to purchased our new home. Though we are thrilled with our new home, dealing with the sellers became very frustrating but Tyler was able to make the process much easier for us. I would highly recommend Tyler for selling or buying a home and would use him again without hesitation!

You never know who may show up in the MAN IN THE MASK HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2.
Halloween Special II sneak peek
Halloween Special I
THE FLOATING PUMPKINS RETURN!
Announcing the...MAN IN THE MASK HALLOWEEN SPECIAL II.
Yep. I had so much fun with last year's special, I couldn't resist another go with one of my favorite occasions.
Set years after the first one, Tommy is adjusting to college life in Millerton. The day before Halloween, he goes out for a late night run for treats. When he comes across one of the evil pumpkins from his last trick 'r treat as a kid, he's thrown for a loop. Fearing the one that was controlling them has returned, he jumps headfirst into action. What he finds is a different situation that is no less dangerous than the first time. Guest stars, myths and the usual MWB Easter eggs abound. Don't miss...SYMPATHY FOR THE STINGY. Coming to you THIS OCTOBER.
Cover to issue #3
Bobby Burbs
Preview for the webcomic that will be in an update in a couple weeks. "Have you seen Armand Tyler?" Introduces us to Sophia Tyler, a smart and inquisitive 15 year old that finds herself in a desperate situation. Her dad, "Army" hasn't been home in three days and no one has seen him. During her search, she finds out more than she bargained for.
One of the characters she comes into contact with, is a small time loan shark named Bobby Burbs. In trying to come up with a design and personality for him, I thought about making him a slob and someone you'd feel uncomfortable to being around. I had this vision of a bearded guy in a dirty wife beater t-shirt.
But then I decided to make him extremely deceiving and approachable. When I did that, it changed his design. As I hinted in an earlier post, I fashioned him in honor of a geeky idol of mine, Harry Anderson. Harry's work in Cheers and Night Court has always been a big favorite. His whole look of the fedora and glasses along with the magic gimmick, conjures so much imagination. Harry's love of the 1940's and the Velvet Fog Mel Torme touched me as I also had an appreciation of those. I just had to imbue Bobby with just a little of that.
Bobby Burbs is an example of what I thought would be a one off character that once I started working on his persona and dialogue, I will definitely revisit sooner than later.
Really liked what Aiden did color wise for these pages.
Stay tuned for more.
MAN IN THE MASK #1- AFTERWORD
After the events of the graphic novel, Tommy has what he wants. He's now wearing his Pop's mask, but generally doing all the things he was doing while running around Millerton in the shadows without it. He's having fun and maybe being a little louder than he was before.
We have two situations he handles without effort. The rescue of a kidnapped girl and the simple stopping of three inept criminals trying to break into a pawn shop. But unknown to him, there are two events happening involving his best friend, Nate and a couple of strangers to Millerton making a deal for the most infamous piece of real estate in town. Oh yeah, there's also the possibility of another, more violent vigilante running around.
This whole issue is understandably setup. What I wanted to throw out there was a little example of Tommy in control before he has the rug pulled out from under him. If you read the graphic novel (and you can check it out if you want), Tommy has a penchant for cruising into situations, not necessarily because of confidence, but because his natural tendencies dictate it. He's the hero. Sometimes that blinds him to the danger before him. He's compelled to act. And despite training all his life to wear the mask, actually wearing it and the target that it makes him is new. He knew how his Pop handled it. But he's now learning how he handles it.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm not trying to create a magnum opus like Watchmen. This is a just a fun story who's only agenda is me making the type of comic that got me interested in comics to begin with. I'm trying to relate the story of a regular guy with a very irregular legacy and how his own humanity grounds him to doing the best he can with it. I love characters and I try my best to develop very rounded, real people tinged with a little comic bookey skews to them. I love to write moments between Tommy and those around him. Action is fun but how everyone relates to each other is what I look forward to.
Add all of the above together and you have the best issue #1 I didn't know I could write.
Tune in for more. I just want to share the fun. "Have you seen Armand Tyler?" is a nice, personal journey for a new character. Tommy is almost a guest star in it. But I'll wait to talk more about that later.
The man...in Man in the mask
When I was growing up, I couldn't fly or lift a car over my head. I didn't have a cool piece of armor or a magic ring that could do fantastic things. But I could make a mask. One out of paper. One out of cloth. That's all it took to be one of the masked heroes I read about.
That stream of thought goes a lot into MAN IN THE MASK. It's the idea of being very street level. Of being human, and going up and beyond what most think you can do. That is Tommy Franklin's life. He's not a masked man pretending to be an ordinary man. Nor is he just a guy that assumes another identity when he puts on a mask.
He's more than just both.
He's a man that puts on a mask and does his best to be a servant. A helper to those around him. So in truth, he's not that much different with or without a mask. He's a man in a mask. And whether or not he's hanging out in flannel or a utility belt, he's the same guy trying his best for whatever situation.
And he does it all with a smile on his face.
The free read
Starting June 2, the relaunch of MAN IN THE MASK gives me an opportunity to roll out the future of my stories in a much wider format. From that date and on, I will be "digital first." Meaning I will be releasing comics on my website before going to print with them. And here, there will be no pay wall or subscription. You can read them for free.
I love print. I love holding a comic in my hand. But the truth of the matter is that print is expensive and with no distribution past cons, very limiting in getting the stories out to potential readers.
Going digital and free access isn't that big of a stretch. Considering I have been known to give my stuff out on occasion. It's not that I think my stuff isn't worth the purchase. I just like to share the work I put into MAN IN THE MASK. I like to show my enthusiasm and love for it. I have so much fun with it. I want to turn around and show the world how proud of them I am. Going digital is an opportunity to reach more readers.
Right now the plan is to release every Tuesday. Originally I was going to put a page count on the releases. But now, I don't want to limit myself creatively. If I have a 3 page story I want to show, that's what I'll do. Same for a 10 page.
Initially, on June 2, I will be releasing the first issue in 8 page increments weekly. This is to make sure everyone is on the same level story wise. Then, the new material will begin. All material will be collected serialized in comic form and will be available from Indyplanet and myself, before the story finishes digitally. If you wish to help support my efforts, please consider purchasing the print offerings.
I plan to experiment as I go with some different things. And, I will be releasing spin off material featuring characters introduced in MAN IN THE MASK and giving them more of a spotlight.
Hopefully, if you're reading this, you have plans to read the book as it's released. Thank you so much. My hope is that you can enjoy this book as much as I do.

It's dark and it's good.
I've taken to Cochin as the default font on my text editor, not that you'd notice. It has nothing to do with the darkness, but there's plenty of time to get to that. I go back and forth, serifs – no serifs. Sometimes the flourishes bug me, as if they're a waste of pixels, and pixels are something precious. Usually it means it's time for Helvetica. Yeah, plain old Helvetica. But not now.
It may be dark, but I'm in the mood for a little flourish.
Right now, dark describes something everyone else can see too. It's not inside for a change. It's very much outside. I like the dark. It's quiet, but oddly loud, the background noise brought to the fore, jumping at its chance to be noticed.
It's a perfect November night in Florida. It's somewhere in the sixties, but I only know because of a forecast overheard hours ago. I'm a Florida boy now, so naturally I'm a little chilled, but exhilarated too. It's a change of pace. It's a sign summer may finally take its bow, once again proud of all the sweat it's produced. It's a sign my favorite time of year is here, so short but savored all the more for the brief time it's with us.
And it's dark. I love my family and I hate to be without them for very long, but late at night when most of the neighborhood is sleeping or wishing they were, it feels good to hide for a while. It's easy to hide in the dark. Places seen in plain sight during the day become shrouded in the dark shadows of secrecy. Or could be if my life was that interesting. Our front porch is already hidden from the street by small trees and bushes. I feel tucked away from the world. It's ironic though, sitting here with my laptop glowing. It probably makes me the neighborhood odd ball, the soft glow of my MacBook poking through the branches. I'm in plain sight in the dark, where I'd normally be hidden.
What in the Hell is that boy doing at this time of night, sitting outside in the cold?
I suppose I'd care if I knew them better, but my friends are elsewhere. My friends only know my odd habits by what I admit to them… mostly.
Still, the dark inspires a feeling of calm, of time standing still, of invulnerability. The neighborhood is exactly the same, but couldn't seem more different. Everything is at peace and nothing seems impossible.
Maybe it's fitting for someone who's mind feels trapped in darkness by day, feels liberated outside at night.
I've always felt that way. That everything expands in night. It's probably what children feel, too. All of our dreams and fears have space to breathe and flow.
Thanks Steve and Sarah! I'm glad you stopped by and got to see it. I found out my blog had essentially gone dark for the better part of a month this afternoon.
This post is great. In all the time I've been reading your blog I've thought you were on a journey to discovering your voice. Congratulations, you're halfway there, ha ha.
Just a test comment by the author. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Q: How to do Bundling of css & js files in Drupal I am .Net guy.  I have been  assigned a task where I need to bundle the css & js files for the purpose of optimization in Drupal website.
In ASP.Net, we configure all the bundles in bundle.config and upload the dll to production.
Same thing I need to do in Drupal v6.0. Yesterday while googling I found the documentation on Drupal which guides to configure in admin/settings/performance where I need to enable the Bundling.
But since there in no build thing in Drupal how do I bundle the css & js files on Dev/Production server.
I am using Drupal v6.0

A: In Drupal

*

*Login to your site as admin

*Under SiteConfiguration, find Perfomance(admin/settings/performance)

*You will find Bandwidth Optimizations Settings

*Enable Optimize CSS & JS files.

*Save Configuration & reload.

In case if doesn't reflect just Clear Site cache.
Thats it.
Minfication & Bundling both will be achived.


Cape Town - Australia high performance bowling coach Ryan Harris is happy with the intel he was able to gather on England from the Adelaide warm-up.
The former Test quick coached the Cricket Australia XI that lost to England by 192 runs in a day/night four day warm up game at the Adelaide Oval.
Harris feels that England's batting lineup is vulnerable but Australia will still need to bowl well to knock them over.
Speaking to Sky Sports Harris said: "I think it is, especially with no Ben Stokes. It depends how the boys bowl, if they bowl loose and wide the batsman won't have any troubles.
"We've got some good intelligence and knowledge on what we want to do, which I'll pass on to our bowlers. That's why we play these games. It's all good going into a big series."
Harris feels Australia will have to deal with the threat of England skipper Joe Root whome he identified as the tourists best batsman.
He went on: "Root is world class, we've been known to target the captain when we play against them, he's genuinely their best player.
"If you take out the two or three best players out of an opposition side, it'll hopefully be hard, and that's what I'm sure the Australians will be trying to do."
England face the Cricket Australia XI in Townsville, Queensland next week ahead of the first Test that gets underway in Brisbane on November 23.

News: Joint efforts to address destructive wildfire impacts on the Kimberley's Dampier Peninsular
Kimberley Admin May 26, 2017
Fire management stakeholders came together recently to share knowledge with the aim of collaboratively reducing the impact of late season, unmanaged wildfires on the Dampier Peninsula north of Broome.
The Peninsula sees frequent late season wildfires that cause large-scale destruction and threaten wildlife, biodiversity and communities.
The workshop was organised by Rangelands NRM through funding from the Office of Emergency Management's (OEM) AWARE (All West Australians Reducing Emergencies) Program.
It brought together representatives from Kimberley Indigenous Rangers groups: Bardi Jawi, Oorany, Nyul Nyul and Yawuru, the Departments of Parks and Wildlife, Aboriginal Affairs and Fire and Emergency Services, pastoralists, and the local Shire.
Through this collaboration, the group identified three joint projects for the Dampier Peninsula in the coming year:
Fire leadership and co-ordination
Implement a fire management strategy
Improved use of existing science, knowledge and monitoring in fire management on the Dampier Peninsula.
Kimberley Program Manager, Grey Mackay, said it was a pivotal workshop with some immediate actions and longer term outcomes.
"It was great to see everyone come together, putting aside differences to try to do things differently. A taskforce was created to address the immediate 2017 fire risk as well as a focus on a holistic process to manage fire better on the Peninsular into the future," he said.
The workshop participants agreed to five strategies:
A cooperative approach to resourcing and operations
Agreed on-ground fire management
Developing a shared plan
Improved education and awareness of the role and management of fire
Building knowledge on fire and management practices through improved science and monitoring.
Mr Mackay, said that with increased on-ground and aerial efforts towards fire mitigation, the aim is to reduce the need for fire suppression later in the year.
"With the significant rains we've had this year, there is plenty of fuel and a high risk of large fire this season," he said.
"By coordinating effort, we are aiming to open communication between neighbours so people know what one another are doing and when.
"This allows for plans to align and connect with neighbouring efforts, which makes sense because we can continue work in an area without having to stop at a property boundary," he added.
Mr Mackay said the urgency was shared by all stakeholders to change the current fire regime and get started on actions and strategies to improve the outlook.
He said the group agreed that the Peninsula has significant assets requiring protection – life, property, conservation, culture.
"There was consensus that change requires active fire management, including planned ignition, communication, and collaboration on all aspects of fire management," he said.
It was recognised that working together across the whole Peninsula needs additional resources and skills, a common plan and a coordination of joint effort.
He said the group had recently produced a flyer that is being distributed to local tourist locations and communities to inform them of current actions and importance of proactive fire management.
The coordination of effort is being led by Rangelands NRM. This will involve sharing current plans, and consolidating them to identify gaps. It will require open communication by land managers and bringing in expertise.

The American Bar Association has launched the ABA Racial Equity in the Justice System website, a central clearinghouse of ABA-related information and resources for attorneys, the legal profession and the public on issues addressing bias, racism and prejudice in the justice system and society.
"The American Bar Association is intensifying its efforts to ensure justice and fairness for all," ABA President Judy Perry Martinez said.
"For too long, African Americans have borne the brunt of racism through laws that unjustly and disproportionately impact people of color. Through efforts like this website, we want to make it easier for lawyers to access information and become more involved in reforming our laws and improving the justice system."
The website, found at www.americanbar.org/advocacy/justice-system/ will include resources ranging from statements from Martinez; ABA policies and positions; articles from publications; model rules and standards; CLEs and webinars; toolkits and training; links to ABA diversity, equity and inclusion entities; resources addressing courts and access to justice, law enforcement, and related statements from other bar associations and affinity bars.

Sorry my omission: Adding that my situation applies to RTS version 10.11 - but have tried earlier revisions several times in the last few years with the same results - non recursive detection on network shares.
RTS just calls ReadDirectoryChangesW with bWatchSubtree set to "true". If this is not working, I'd have to pass the blame on to the network drivers (maybe they're not implementing SMB 3.0 but an earlier version?).
See here for a potential way to check the SMB version being used between client and server.
Thank you for the help. The Get returns Dialects 3.0.2 or 3.0.0 for the different shares RTS is trying to monitor. Any other possibilities folks? I really want to take advantage of your well executed tools! Would there be some odd interaction with the IdleTime? Would a long (60 seconds) or short (1second) be something to consider? I would expect this is just your polling rate so I wouldn't expect any difference in changing this length - but again - treat me as 'clueless'!
No, the Idle time in RTS is the time the monitored location(s) need to be idle (i.e.: have no activity/changes) after a change (or the last change) has been detected, before launching the specified application, normally FFS).
This is intended to prevent (already) launching FFS while the monitored location is still (frequently) changing, e.g. by copying files to it.


During the spring and summer, button up denim skirts were all the rage. This suede version of the style is the perfect transition piece for fall weather. The skirt has a retro vibe until it is paired with modern black and white pieces.
Are you as obsessed with oxblood as I am?
OMG I love everything about this top to toe look Michelle!
Oxblood is one of my favourite colors. The top, the coat and the over the knee boots are so incredible!
Me too - this is one of my favorite looks!
I love this color as well as you saw from my post on Friday. I can't seem to stop buying everything in this color as well. I love the jacket and the skirt together and how you added the animal print bag to this look. You look fantastic. Thanks for the linkup. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Same! It's just such a flattering color - I love it!
You look gorgeous!! I'm obsessed with oxblood as well- you can't go wrong!!
Love the burgundy. And those boots! Heart eyes.
I want to splurge on a second pair - I wear these so often!
You in oxblood is amazing! This is a color I have yet to try this season, after seeing this gorgeous look I'm totally inspired to do something with it. Love!
Thank you! You definitely should - I bet it would look stunning on you!
I absolutely love the color and this look! Awesome!
Wow...thanks for the shout out ladies. Such a treat.
Michelle - love the oxblood skirt on you!
We loved your look! Obsessed!
The skirt is super cute Michelle, and that coat--- gorgeous!! Thank you so much for having me as co-host, I'm so excited!
Thank you so much for hosting with us this week! We are excited to have you!
Oh man, I'm completely in love with this coat! what a beautiful colour!
love this burgundy look on you !
love burgundy! it is a trendy color, but still a classic in my book!
I think it should be considered a classic fall color!
Oxblood is one of my favorite colors this season. The skirt looks so pretty on you and perfect with the OTK boots. Once again, you are impeccably dressed, Michelle! Have a great day!
Thank you so much Danielle! I love this look.
Your jacket is gorgeous! I'm loving this look, and oxblood looks great on you!
I love this color on you, it compliments you well.
I can't get enough of this color! I love the cutout in your top and of course pairing it with leopard!
Same! I am totally obsessed with all things burgundy!
Mine too! I love wearing it from head to toe!
You look gorgeous !!! Amazing colours, lovely skirt, and coat. I love this white blouse.
Fantastic boots. You have great style and taste, lovely outfit.
Oxblood is such a great color! I love this gorgeous look on you!
Love this color palette! That skirt is super cute and I love the addition of the leopard print bag.
What a beautiful coat and love it paired with the leopard purse.
LOVE oxblood! Such an awesome color for fall + winter. This coat is fab, babe!
that coat is perfect. Not only I like the nice silhoutte, I also love the color and the way it suits you.
That oxblood jacket is so pretty on you and I LOVE those black boots (I need a pair!).
I am thinking of splurging on a second pair! I love them so much!
I love it too! Plus it is super affordable!
You big bag animal print si my favorite piece! Beautiful inspiration!
You would be surprised at how much I use this bag. It is amazing!
You know I own a similar skirt in a little different shade of burgundy and mine is real suede and I love it (I linked it above, too). I also love your skirt and your coat. Of course I adore Oxblood but seriously both pieces are so rich and perfect for Fall and the Leopard Bag is the icing on the cake.
Yes - I love suede & burgundy for fall, so combining the two in this skirt was a match made in a heaven for me!
Such a chic look! Love the leopard bag with this.

Taking Both Cats to the Vet & Update on Beau's PU Surgery 2 Years Later
January 13, 2020 By Johnny Salib 18 Comments
Hello everyone! I'm hoping you all had a brilliant start to your new year and that you're either settled in or almost settled into your routines and schedules.
I know things have been a bit of a hurricane in the Pets Overload family, which explains the lack of posts, but since I have today off I thought I would give you a proper fill-in on our lives.
As some of you may know (from our Twitter account), the Pets Overload family is planning on moving countries in 2021 so in preparation for that, we've been getting all of our paperwork started and have been scheduling vet visits to ensure that our immigration will be smooth next year.
Oddly enough, as we started planning to get our cat's their shots, Beau started showing signs of a PU Surgery complication, so our stars were aligning.
As you may already know, since Beau's PU Surgery we moved pretty far from our preferred vet, causing us to go to vets who have treated Beau… well, subpar. So, we made it a day trip to go to our preferred vet this weekend as we want all of our paperwork we're going to use to travel to be done by the same vet.
HOW WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH BEAU
As I'm sure you've heard time and time again, Beau is a creature of habit. While Beau's routines change based on the season or whether or not someone is sick, Beau's routines stay fairly consistent for at least a month.
Beau started this new routine this past month where he would come out of the litter box, clean himself for a little bit, jump on his hutch and meow loudly. Now, the meow that Beau would use didn't sound like he was in pain, but oddly it sounded similar to the yowl he makes when he wants Kalista to play with him.
At first, I thought Beau was meowing to let me know that the shelves he needed to jump on to get to his hutch weren't very secure. So, I gave Beau more options to jump on such as a chair, but still, he would let out a couple of meows when he reached the top of the hutch. Clearly something was wrong, or at least up.
As is with all things Beau, as soon as anything seems to be going wrong we check to see if he has a urinary tract infection. Luckily the past few months we have been using Pretty Litter, so we know that Beau's bladder is pH balanced, but still, his incision site looked a bit weird. So, off to the vet, we were!
Photo from: Why Do Cats Sleep with Their Eyes Open? Should I Be Worried?
TRAVELLING WITH TWO CATS
Beau has never really liked his carrier, especially because of all of the negative events that took place in 2017 and since the cats don't leave the house often, we don't have the opportunity to build more positive experiences with them. My partner and I have been talking about the ways we would like to engage our cats in more enjoyable carrier experiences, but haven't had the opportunity yet.
Kalista, on the other hand, loves her carrier. There's nothing that makes her happier than plopping herself down into her carrier. My partner was shocked that as soon as I placed the carrier down, Kalista jumped into it and started sleeping. What a dream cat, eh?
Driving with the cats was pretty good, although I never had an issue with Beau. It was Walker who was chatty for car rides, but both Kalista and Beau were quiet.
THE VET VISIT
Upon arriving at the vet we found out that our preferred vet no longer works at the clinic and neither do the majority of the team members who worked on Beau's surgery. I was actually a bit shocked to hear that since their website still says they work there, but sometimes I forget websites don't always get updated.
Either way, the new vet team seems fabulous, though a bit less punctual. We were let into the examination room late and waited in there for a while. So, while we waited we thought we'd let the cats out to see how they would do.
Kalista was happy to jump out of her carrier and start exploring. She wanted to see what was on the computer and smell everything in sight. There was nothing Kalista wanted more than to jump off the medical table, but as soon as we saw her get too excitable, we lead her back to her carrier. The adorable thing was, she was just as excited to jump into her carrier as she was to jump out. Adorable, eh?
Beau, on the other hand, wasn't the happiest at the vet. He was fine with sitting alone in the corner by the window, which he would do almost every vet visit. Beau would often shiver by the window and while he felt safe there, every so often you could see his cute self shiver.
The thing is, after a while, Beau got used to our old vet techs and vets, so he would happily come out of his carrier and cuddle with them. We really started missing our old team, though we were incredibly lucky to have them.
Beau shivered a couple of times by the window, so I told my partner to take Kalista out of her carrier and I put Beau next to her. What do you know? Beau was immediately fine, cuddling close to his sister. Kalista started licking him as soon as he settled down further making Beau feel safe. Awesome, eh?
The new vet who works at the clinic is pretty awesome. He's knowledgable about PU Surgeries and was able to make our cats comfortable enough to get fully examined. Neither of our cats were scared or hissed at the new vet, which is A+ in my books, which leads me to the results of the visit.
Photo from: Are Cats Autistic? Can Cats Have Autism?
RESULTS OF THE EXAMINATION
After conducting an ultrasound it seems like Beau has a lot of debris in his bladder. Now, having some debris in the bladder is not uncommon for a cat who has undergone a perineal urethrostomy, especially because cats have rough tongues that collect dirt and debris while they clean themselves.
EDIT 1/22/20 – Just to clarify, the assumption by the vet isn't that Beau ate the debris, it's that his tongue pushed the debris into his incision site. Since a cat's urethra is shortened during the process of a perineal urethrostomy, it becomes more likely for dirt and debris to get inside that way.
While a lot of the dirt and debris will come out through the process of urination, it is uncertain how long it will take to clear out the debris. The other worry is that Beau will, or currently has a urinary tract infection, so the vet recommended some tests be done.
Beau also had some dermatitis on his incision site, likely due to excessive licking or scalding from urination. So, the vet recommended we give Beau some antibiotics for dermatitis at a minimum.
The vet isn't overly concerned about the amount of debris in Beau's bladder, though he wants us to make sure that he is peeing regularly and dependant on the results of the tests he may want to check Beau's urethra.
A big concern for cats who have undergone a PU Surgery is the sealing of the artificial urethra, and while Beau is peeing a lot, it doesn't mean that everything is okay. At this point, the vet has no suspicion that this is true for Beau, however, he said after monitoring the debris in Beau's bladder he will make the call.
I asked him what the cause of the debris could be and if there's anything I could to further help the situation and he responded that there's not much we can do. Keep a tidy home, make sure Beau isn't licking his incision site too much and that's about it. Cats will be cats and dirt will be dirt, it happens and at this point, Beau has outlived the "danger-zone" years.
Beau was sent home with a round of antibiotics and we still haven't received the result of the urinalysis. I will let you know when they come out.
A few things, I'm really grateful that my cats are so bonded. It's not only one of the cutest things ever, but it makes me confident that moving isn't going to throw a wrench in my cat's lives. I understand that moving is going to be a big change for everyone, but there's nothing stronger than my cat's bond.
As for Beau's complications, I'm still a bit concerned about debris being in Beau's bladder. I'm not concerned in the sense that I think we need a second opinion, but I think it's my responsibility to make sure that I try to reduce the chance of him getting debris in his urethra.
As many of you know, we use World's Best Cat Litter and while I absolutely love it, I can't help but think of how high the chance of a grain getting stuck in Beau's urethra is. Beau will squat closely to the litter while peeing sometimes, so it is completely plausible. To reduce that risk, I think I'm going to switch over to a non-clumping litter. I just want to see if that reduces the chances, especially because my cats don't seem to mind changes in their litter.
I'll let you know if that helps, but of course, I won't know for a while.
Oh, a very cute thing started happening! Like many cats, Beau is not fond of taking pills, so the first two pills were very difficult to get him to take. Since we feed Beau immediately after giving him a pill it seems like he realized he was getting rewarded for taking his pills and now swallows the pills immediately instead of spitting them out. We've tried this before with Beau and never did it happen, but lo and behold you can teach a new dog new tricks… err… cat.
Otherwise, Beau has been fabulous and I hope yours have been too! Sending you all my love and again Happy New Year!

Becky J. says
I feel like debris in the bladder is probably crystals, not swallowed debris. It seems to me that swallowed debris should flow through the digestive system, not the urinary system. I'm no vet, but I've never heard of any swallowed solids ending up in the bladder. If he's not on prescription urinary food, he should probably at least be on OTC urinary food for a while. I have a boy who has been blocked and partially blocked and needed emergency care, albeit not PU surgery so far. He was on OTC urinary food for a couple of years but has now been able to transition to regular wet food, but with water added to keep things flowing nicely.
Johnny Salib says
Hey Becky, while I would agree with you usually regarding the debris, there were no signs of crystals in any of the urine tests. The debris is assumed to have gotten into Beau's bladder by licking the debris into the incision site, not by swallowing the debris (if that makes sense.) Given how big the opening is from the PU Surgery, it's highly likely and quite common for debris and dirt to make its way through the urethra back into the bladder. I'm sorry that wasn't as clearly written in the post and will make some changes when I get a chance today. 🙂
Beau has been on urinary food 100% of the time since the surgery 🙂
Oooh duh, NOW I get it!!! I was extremely confused for a bit there! It all makes sense now. 🙂
Also glad to know he's on the urinary food. My guy was in ER for two days the time he blocked and I was worried he would need PU surgery. He was on Rx urinary food for a long time, then moved to an OTC one for a long time. At one point during that time he had something going on again, but the vet wasn't sure what…maybe the other type of crystals from the urinary food making his pH go too far the other way, but they weren't really sure. Ugh, cats. Ultimately with the vet's blessing he's ended up on regular pate style wet food, with a good amount of water added, and he's been doing great on that, and so far no need for PU surgery. He'll be 11 in April!
Glad to hear your little one is doing well with an OTC Pate with water. I've always been a bit nervous about Beau's pH going the other way, but every other month we've been using Pretty Litter to track Beau's pH. Things have seemed pretty consistent with his pH, which is good.
11 Years old !! <3 I really, really hope Beau makes it that far <3
The Pretty Litter is a really great idea. For me unfortunately as much as I'd love to use it, it won't work, because I have 8 of these little devils. If I found a clump the wrong color, I can picture myself driving myself nuts following each one to the litterbox for days to figure out which one it is! 🤣
HAHAHAHA! I completely feel that. We ended up using the litter wrong at the beginning and it freaked me out when the colours told me that the cats were sick!
London says
What kind of litter do you recommend now after the PU surgery?!
If you can stomach Yesterday's News (the non-clumping, non-scented, news pellet vesion, I'd say go for that.) Though, I have to be honest and admit that we've gone back to World's Best because Beau wasn't having it for "Yesterday's News" anymore, especially with both him and his sister using it.
databbiesotrouttowne says
happy new year to everyone; haven't been by in awhile; what with work, then time off yada yada. I hope Beau is on the road to happiness and healthy; sending St Francis' blessings as they always help: !! and that's gotta be scary moving to another country; I hope no one has to be quarantined for any length of time ~~~~
happy healthy 2020 !! ♥♥
Thank you friends so much <3 Wishing you the best 2020 and all the health 😀
mommakatandherbearcat says
We hope everything turns out well for Beau. I've gotten into Psycho Kitty with Pamela Bennett-Johnson and she has a lot of advice for desensitizing cats to their carriers [take the door off temporarily, put treats close to or on top of the carrier, etc]. I don't know if that would help Beau's discomfort at the vet – but it's something to look into.
Thank you friends! I'll definitely look into Pamela and see if there's something I can try <3 Thank you for the lead!
Meezer'sMews&TerrieristicalWoofs says
Whoa…that is scary to think if you were not observant and missed all of that.
Hope that all will soon be A-OK.
Best wishes with all the upcoming upheavals…glad its you and not us,MOL!
Right? It's a bit terrifying to think about everything that's happening with our cats that they aren't telling us about, or are aware of. We're hoping that everything gets solved soon <3
The Swiss Cats says
We hope Beau feels better soon ! Purrs
Thank you friends <3
Melissa A Montana says
Glad to hear Beau is going to be okay. Good luck on your new plans!
Thank you, friend! And we're very glad Beau is alright too <3

Johann Philipp Beckmann (* 31. Dezember 1752 in Hamburg; † 28. Juni 1814 ebenda) war ein deutscher Jurist und Kunstsammler.

Leben
Johann Philipp Beckmann wurde am letzten Tag des Jahres 1752 in Hamburg geboren. Er ging zunächst auf dem Johanneum zur Schule und ab 1772 auf das Akademische Gymnasium. Zum Studium ging er nach Leiden und promovierte 1777 dort als Dr. der Rechte. Nach dem Studium kehrte er nach Hamburg zurück und wurde Sekretär am Domkapitel, heutzutage vergleichbar mit einem Geschäftsführer. 1814 verstarb er im Alter von 61 Jahren.

Recht ausführlich erwähnte der Hamburger Friedrich Johann Lorenz Meyer die ansehnliche Sammlung von überwiegend chinesischen Gemälden. Während seine medizinische und theologische Bibliothek ein Jahr nach seinem Tod am 20. November 1815 von dem Makler Johann Jürgen Berndes zur Versteigerung angeboten wurde, stand seine Sammlung erst 10 Jahre nach seinem Tode 1824 zum Verkauf. Dazu existierte ein Verkaufskatalog des Maklers Georg Ernst Harzen mit einer Vorrede von Friedrich Johann Lorenz Meyer und Peter Friedrich Röding. Das Kunstkabinett umfasste: 310 Positionen Porzellan, 8 Alabaster, 46 Speckstein, 82 Lackierungen, 40 jap. Kupfer und Bronze, 7 Kunstwerke der Mechanik, 26 Holzarbeiten, 45 Elfenbein, 12 Perlmutt, 9 Schild-patt, 7 Silber, 12 optische Sachen, 20 Feuerwerk, 28 Terra Cotta, 12 Stickereien, 11 Zeichenapparate, 60 Wassermalereien (Aquarelle), 28 Ölgemälde und 42 Glasmalereien. Für Auskünfte standen Peter Friedrich Röding und Rudolph Sickmann zur Verfügung. Beckmann habe ein naturhistorische Kabinett "nicht ohne Wert" besessen, schrieb Hans Schröder. Tatsächlich war im Haus ein Naturalien- und Kunstkabinett untergebracht, es gehörte aber Dr. (juris) Schultz (Ernst Christoph).

Er war verheiratet mit Anna Margaretha Schlüter, Tochter von Philipp Schlüter und dessen Frau Bernardine, geb. Luynders. Die Tochter Catharina Amalia Beckmann war verheiratet mit dem Senator Peter Siemsen (1787–1854). Der Sohn Philipp Martin Beckmann (* 29. März 1788–1868) ging nach Leipzig.

Beckmann war als Freimaurer Provinzial-Großmeister der englischen Provinzial-Loge des niedersächsischen Kreises zu Hamburg und später Erster Großmeister der Großen Loge zu Hamburg.

Porträts
 1796 schuf der österreichische Maler Martin Ferdinand Quadal, der zu dieser Zeit in Hamburg tätig war, Porträts der Eheleute. (Abbildung in: Johannes Meyer, Alfred Lichtwark, Hamburger Bildnisse. Meissner, Hamburg 1913, S. 13–14) (online, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg).

Where 4 roads meet
I can't wait to work with Nando Messias on a new, one-off show this Autumn. This is not to be missed. I mean, just look at that image!
Where 4 Roads Meet: Death and the Sissy
Thursday 12th October, 7.30pm
Toynbee Studios, London
There is to be no wailing at the death of the Sissy.
Where 4 Roads Meet: Death and the Sissy marks the culmination of provocative performance-maker Nando Messias' decade-long Sissy trilogy, facing up to the social disappearance of the sissy and the violent fatality that's inherently at stake in the queer condition.
The scene is a roundabout where four roads meet, a site of memory, death and rebirth. What is the Sissy's legacy? How can it be mourned? What is discarded?
Alongside the performance stands a Museum of the Sissy, a curiosity cabinet for the genuine and the phenomenal.
Where 4 Roads Meet: Death and the Sissy brings us face to face with the urgent danger and beauty of our times.
Presented by And What? Queer Arts Festival and generously supported by Arts Council England, Queen Mary University of London and Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Customer Service Inquiries Up 44 Percent on Twitter — But Response Times Are Down
Brands may be getting smarter about social media marketing, but using social for customer service is still a big challenge.
By Kimberlee Morrison
While many brands are getting better at engaging audiences on social media, customer service still presents a challenge. According to a Simply Measured Analytics study about how top brands use Twitter for customer service, mentions of dedicated customer service accounts on are up 44 percent but the average response time is down 10 percent.
The study which analyzed the accounts of the top 100 global brands for the month of January 2014, discovered that only 32 of those brands have a dedicated customer service handle. The number of companies with customer service handles hasn't changed, despite the data indicating that more consumers are turning to social for customer service needs.
According to the study, consumers see the customer service dedicated handle — such as @AmazonHelp or @AskAmex — as a legitimate way to interact with the brand. The good news is that brands are getting better at responding to customer service inquiries on Twitter. The bad news is that while brands are responding more frequently, the time it takes to respond has increased.
The study attributed the longer response times to social customer service teams simply having to manage a 208 percent increase in inbound requests on Twitter. Brands identified as "best-in-class" average an 83 percent response rate and, the best in this group managed an average 30-minute response time.
There are some shared practices that enable these best-in-class brands to manage their customer service handles efficiently.
They manage how they respond: 23 percent of the time customers are directed to a brand web page; 17 percent of the time, customers are given information for contacting the brand directly by phone, mail or direct message. According to Simply Measured, this indicates that the brands best equipped for handling the influx of customer service requests rely heavily on "canned responses."
They manage when they respond: Obviously, service requests increase during business hours, so the best-in-class make sure their customer service Twitter handles are adequately staffed during hours of high request volume. Simply Measured also recommends that companies receiving a lot of after-hours requests add after-hours staff to respond to those requests.

Yellow tea is one of the rarest types of tea to touch the earth. Halfway between white and green, this tea provides the best of both worlds: high in antioxidants and rich in flavor.
Yellow tea is my favorite tea, so I am always excited when the opportunity presents itself to try one that I've not yet tasted. This is a fantastic yellow with its delicate, creamy taste and a hint of nutty flavor in the background.
It has a silky mouthfeel to it, but I notice that it is not as prominent a mouthfeel as I've come to expect from a yellow tea, and there is a hint of tangy astringency that was also quite unexpected. Neither of these things are bad or render this beautiful yellow tea "off" in any way, it just makes it a little different than the rest.
The tea is sweet with brown sugar-ish kind of notes – it is very pleasant and ties in well with the aforementioned nutty tones of this tea. There is a vegetative note that arrives about mid-sip, and it is reminiscent of steamed bitter greens with a touch of butter.
It's quite a delicious tea, sweet yet savory, and an absolute pleasure to sip.


I would like to know why my speaker isn't working after a phone swap. By phone swap i mean taking every single thing out of one iPhone housing and putting it int another. I checked everything else and they work perfectly fine except the speaker. I changed it with a working one -didnt work, cleaned the contact point - didn't work could i have torn something?
If it's the bottom speaker, there is a chance you may have ripped the charger port dock assembly cable slightly where it has a connection to the bottom speaker. You can check this by physically looking at the cable. If it is ripped, you will need to replace the charging port dock cable assembly.
For the top speaker, it is most likely not aligned well enough for the top speaker to have contact with the gold contact points on the front camera flex cable assembly which sits behind the front display. Also make sure that the metal cover prongs are correctly seated on the plastic frame behind the iPhone display. There is one at the left and one on the right of the metal cover. The left side slides in a hole and the right side slides in a hole as well which will sometimes needs to be pushed in the hole to the left to lock it in place.
Yes the bottom speaker is not working but if the charging cable is ripped wouldn't that mean the phone can't charge at all?
You can break the cable and still have part of it functioning . you should be able to see any damage across the cable look for folds or bends and lookclosly at these spots for breaks in the cable .
Yeah, the charging flex cable assembly comprises of multiple circuit lines which you can physically see as they are like bumps.

3.8M earthquake location changed from Yorkton to Esterhazy, Saskatchewan; Numerous injection wells there. Caused two hour power outage for several communities. Unbelievable quote by seismologist Dr. Honn Kao, Geological Survey of Canada: "Man-made activity will not cause this kind of magnitude event unless it's nuclear explosion"
Posted on September 10, 2016 by Jessica Ernst
Natural Resources Canada changed the 3.8M Saskatchewan earthquake location from southeast of Yorkton to east of Esterhazy. The reported story tone changes a bit, does not mention Yorkton or explain why the location changed.
Yellow push pins with white font in map above show locations of where the 3.8M was reported, first southeast of Yorkton, then, east of Esterhazy. The potash mine is the white spot next to the Esterhazy marker.
There are numerous injection wells in the area:

'My trailer was starting to shake': Esterhazy, Sask. residents describe 3.8 magnitude earthquake by Christa Dao, September 6, 2016, Global News
Long-time resident Charlene Hershmiller said her trailer started shaking when a 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck 13 kilometres east of Esterhazy, Sask.
"It shook the whole trailer. It shook my bed, shook my deck," Hershmiller remembered.
She lives in a trailer in town and said the earthquake shook her awake.
"I could hear my plates rattling," she said.
According to Natural Resources Canada, the quake happened Monday at 4:40 a.m. CT. Over 20 felt-reports were filed through the website, ranging from weak to moderate shaking.
Lacey Moore also lives in Esterhazy. She said she's experienced quite a few earthquakes living in the area.
"The tremors happen quite often. This one was maybe bigger than usual," Moore said.
Moore said the shaking forced her awake, and what was just seconds felt much longer.
"It seems long when you're going through it," she described.
According to Natural Resources Canada, the epicentre of the earthquake was 13 kilometres east of the town.
Around Esterhazy, some residents pointed to the nearby Mosaic potash mine as being the trigger and cause of Monday's quake.
According to seismologist Dr. Honn Kao of the Geological Survey of Canada, he doesn't think the activity in the region is responsible for Monday's earthquake.
"The magnitude of this size, 3.8 will require accumulation of tectonic stress. Man-made activity will not cause this kind of magnitude event unless it's nuclear explosion which I definitely don't think is the case here," Kao explained. [Mr, Kao gets paid to provide such false information to the public? As of September 11, there was no correction reported by Global]
[Frac Quake Reality Checks:
NINE STUDIES: US Geological Survey (USGS), University Colorado (UC), Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS), Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory (LBNL) studied sudden man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, found fracing is the causation ]
However, Kao said in the past, earthquakes have been linked to mining and fracking.
"Some of them have been linked to the potash mining activity in the area and we also know for certain that the region, especially in the epicentre region, has potash mines around and therefore it is possible that [earthquakes in the area] can be linked to that," Kao said.
Regarding Monday's event, he said further investigation and research is required, and with information from local mining authorities to determine what exactly happened. [Emphasis added]
2012 earthquake felt near Esterhazy by riderfans discussion group, 2012
Potash miners briefly trapped underground after earthquake shakes Saskatchewan by The Canadian Press, September 7, 2016, Calgary Herald
ROCANVILLE, Sask. — Some people were shaken awake and some miners stuck underground in southeast Saskatchewan when a magnitude 3.8 earthquake hit early Monday morning.
Earthquakes Canada said it happened around 4:40 a.m., and was centred about 32 kilometres east-southeast of Yorkton.
The Potash Corp. mine near Rocanville, Sask., had to switch to backup power when a power outage occurred.
However, that wasn't enough to run the hoists so about 40 people were stuck underground for a while.
Randy Burton of Potash Corp. said the people underground went to refuge stations with power, air, and water until the power came back on.
The workers were then slowly brought back up to the surface — the last person coming up at about 11:30 a.m.
The company hasn't sent crews back down since, but it's not because of the outage.
"We're just starting our annual maintenance shut down, so this happened just by coincidence at the same time," said Burton.
Everyone was alright after the incident, and Burton said there was no damage to the mine.
SaskPower reported a widespread outage in the area that impacted Moosomin, Rocanville, Whitewood, Esterhazy, Stockholm and Wapella. The company said the quake caused problems at a switching station, taking out power to about 2,000 residential customers.
This isn't the first time an earthquake has been felt in the area. According to Natural Resources Canada, there have been 12 earthquakes in the region at magnitude 3.0 or higher since 1981. [Emphasis added]
3.8 magnitude earthquake hits southeast of Yorkton, Sask by Christa Dao, September 5, 2016, Global News
According to Earthquakes Canada, a minor earthquake was detected in southeastern Saskatchewan, approximately 32 kilometres southeast of Yorkton.
The 3.8 magnitude quake happened early Monday at 4:40 a.m. CT.

According to seismologist Dr. Honn Kao with the Geological Survey of Canada, close to a dozen people reported feeling the quake, but there were no reports of significant damage or injuries.
"A magnitude 3.8 earthquake is considered to be a small event," he said.
"However, it was definitely felt by the local community."
The seismologist explained that this particular earthquake occurred in a place that is considered to be relatively seismically inactive, compared to the West Coast, which is said to have the highest seismic risk.
"The Prairie area is considered to be much less in terms of seismic activity, nevertheless this particular region has historically had some events," Kao said.
"None of the events were big and this particular earthquake is consistent with that pattern."
Despite inactive seismic activity, Kao explained the area is not immune to earthquakes.
"We had historically quite a number of earthquakes in that general area so it's not a total surprise to us that we actually observed an earthquake in that region this morning," he said.
There have been 11 similarly sized earthquakes in the same region since 1981, according to Natural Resources Canada.
Kao explained earthquakes are caused by tectonic stress accumulation. He said it is difficult to point out exactly what the cause was, but said generally speaking, tectonic stress accumulation is the ultimate cause of earthquakes in the region.
"Earthquakes are caused by sleep motion along faults. In general, if you have a place where you have accumulated tectonic stress, then you can have earthquakes occurred along faults."
A number of communities in the region experienced a power outage between 4:40 and 6:30 a.m.
SaskPower has confirmed the outage was due to the quake.
"An earthquake in the Yorkton region… [resulted] in a power outage to customers served by the Tantallon substation," SaskPower spokesperson Heather Johnson said.
Affected areas included Esterhazy, Gerald, Stockholm, Wapella, Fairlight, Flemming, Red Jacket, Welwyn, Ryerson areas, as well as feeds into the Melville district which include Stockholm, Grayson, Debuke and surrounding areas. [Emphasis added]

Early-morning earthquake shakes Yorkton, Sask., area, No damage reported in 3.8 magnitude quake by CBC News, September 05, 2016
Natural Resources Canada says there was a small earthquake centred southeast of Yorkton, Sask., at 4:40 a.m. CST on Monday. (Natural Resources Canada )
A light earthquake was felt this morning in the Saskatchewan communities of Yorkton, Melville and Langenburg, Natural Resources Canada has reported.
Officials confirm there was a 3.8 magnitude quake centred southeast of Yorkton at 4:40 a.m. CST.
At least one person reported feeling light shaking, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
Natural Resources Canada would like to hear from residents who felt shaking, and reports can be filed here.
SaskPower said the earthquake affected an electrical substation, impacting rural customers in the Esterhazy and Melville regions. Power was restored by 6:30 a.m., but crews remain at the substation to make sure it is ready to go back online.
This is not the first time an earthquake has rattled the region, located about 200 kilometres northeast of Regina.
There have been five others of a similar magnitude in the Yorkton-Esterhazy area in the past 16 years, and 11 since 1981.
"The last one that we recorded was in 2014. It was a 3.1. The time before that was July 8 — 3.7 — in 2013," said Michal Kolaj, a seismologist for Natural Resources Canada. "Earthquakes in general occur if you have a slip along a fault."
Kolaj said an investigation into the quake will take place over the next few days to try and determine whether it is consistent with a natural event or whether it's linked to some sort of human activity.
"We'll look to see whether the location is in close proximity to active mining or other types of anthropogenic activity. [Fracking the Bakken?] And then we'll maybe seek to also contact the companies themselves to gather some more information."

When I think about the 4 way test, it makes me think about Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was an African American woman and she was like Martin Luther King. I am writing to tell you about her bravery. When Rosa Parks was alive, all the African American people had to go to different schools, and drink from different water fountains, and had to play on different playgrounds. This made her feel different and very sad, and she wanted to change things.
One day, Rosa was riding on the bus when a white man came and said "this is my seat, you need to move." But Rosa would not give up her seat. Then, the bus driver said "You need to sit in the back of the bus." Rosa still would not move. The bus driver stopped the bus and came back with a police officer and had her arrested.
When I think of this story, it reminds me of bullies. When someone is bulling me or a friend of mine, I think of that day and I think of Rosa Parks' bravery. So stop and listen for a little moment, if you are being bullied, stand up for what you feel is right, and be brave like Rosa Parks.
When I think of this story and how it is similar to the 4 way test, first I think about how it is a true story in history that makes us think about treating others with respect. Second, Rosa Parks wanted everyone to be treated fairly, like our teacher tells us to be fair to our friends. Third, Rosa Parks wanted everyone to be treated with good will. Last, when Rosa Parks would not move on the bus it made people understand that people are people no matter how they look.
If you are a bully, then read this story and think for a moment are you acting like Rosa Parks or not? Maybe you will treat others better.

Ethical billing practices avoid problems collecting legal fees
By Nick Migliaccio and Carole Buckner
Carole Buckner
1. Different tasks done at different times of day should be recorded as separate fee entries in the lawyer's bill. True False
2. Block billing of fees by combining several tasks in one time entry will result in an automatic reduction in fees by 25 percent. True False
3. The ability of the client to pay is a key factor that an arbitrator will consider in mandatory fee arbitration. True False
MCLE Self-study, Dec. 2016
If a client complains about your bills, and the dispute makes its way into a statutorily required mandatory fee arbitration, how is the arbitrator likely to view your bills?
Many common billing practices will be scrutinized in the event of a fee dispute. According to a recent advisory from the State Bar of California's Committee on Mandatory Fee Arbitration, the arbitrator may examine the process you used to prepare your bills and then review your bills to - among other things - compare the work performed to what was billed, analyze the staffing on the matter and consider the format and content of your bills.
If an engagement will cost more than $1,000 in fees, costs or both, a client is entitled to obtain an itemized bill within 10 days of the client's request. There is no exception for task-based, flat-fee, or fixed-fee engagements. Bills rendered by a lawyer to a client must "clearly state the basis thereof," including the amount, rate and basis for calculation. Otherwise, the fee agreement is voidable at the option of the client, and the lawyer is entitled to collect only a reasonable fee. See Business and Professions Code Section 6148.
Most fee arbitrators interpret the foregoing statutory language to require the bills to at least identify which lawyer or paralegal performed the itemized services by date and the hourly rate. See Arbitration Advisory 95-02, Standards for Attorney Fee Billing Statements. Consequently, the lack of specificity in the bills not only endangers the lawyer's ability to collect the contractually agreed upon fee, but it may also significantly impair their ability to subsequently demonstrate the reasonable value of the fees in a subsequent arbitration.
Initially, fee arbitrators may consider the manner in which the bills are prepared to ascertain the timeliness and accuracy of the bills. Generally, bills are more accurate and specific if the person who actually performed the task records it contemporaneously, rather than waiting to do so at a later date or relying on a billing clerk or secretary to record the task and create the bills. The significance of the passage of time between when a task is performed and actually recorded cannot be overstated. Arbitrators will closely scrutinize bills if the lawyer waited days to prepare a bill.
Irrespective of the manner or process a lawyer may use to bill the client, the arbitrator's focus will be on determining the accuracy of the bills. For example, if a lawyer or firm uses a pre-bill process in which time entries are edited and adjusted by a more senior lawyer or staff member, the arbitrator might analyze whether that process actually increases the accuracy of the bills. Arbitrators may closely scrutinize any upward adjustments, as well as any failure to verify the accuracy of the contents of the pre-bills or have them reviewed and verified by the lawyers or other timekeepers that actually performed the tasks before the bill is delivered to the client. See Arbitration Advisory 2016-02, Analysis of Potential Bill Padding and Other Billing Issues.
Staffing is also an important area in which the arbitrator's hindsight is applied to analyze bills in the context of fee arbitration. Staffing issues resulting in reduction of bills by an arbitrator can arise from billing time that is essentially training of less-experienced lawyers or billing time by a more senior lawyer whose experience is not necessary to the task. Revolving billers who join the case for a short time, then are replaced, may result in duplication of effort for which the client should not be billed.
Overstaffing can also result in a significant reduction in the recovery of fees upon review by an arbitrator. In Christian Research Institute v. Alnor, 165 Cal.App.4th 1315 (2008), a prevailing defendant in an anti-SLAPP suit sought recovery of his attorney's fees consisting of 638.6 hours on a motion to strike and appeal with 228.7 hours allocated to the motion and approximately 410 hours allocated to the appeal, which the court reduced to 71 hours. Among other problems with the fee request, the court mentioned overstaffing, indicating that, "the five attorneys Alnor deployed on the motion appear to have expended more time telephoning, conferencing and emailing each other than on identifiable legal research for the motion."
Comparison of the substance and quality of the work created to the cost of each item is also an area to which an arbitrator may direct his or her attention. For example, a motion to dismiss may be drafted by a new lawyer, revised by a senior associate and reviewed and signed by a partner. The arbitrator might consider whether part of the new lawyer's time involved training and whether the senior associate should have prepared the motion. Whether the motion necessitated an interim review or partner-level review might also be questioned. Of course, everything depends on the complexity of the matter, and such an approach might be perfectly appropriate. In Christian Research Institute, while counsel asserted that the motion was complex and novel, the court said several issues were "settled as hornbook law" and that "a close question based on the facts is not necessarily a complex or time consuming one." The same court also noted that despite 400 hours spent on the appeal, "counsel failed to uncover or cite the seminal cases applying the dispositive standard." In addition, the court said there was no evidence extensive time was devoted to investigation or discovery, nor did the legal research entries show that the pertinent issues were difficult.
The format and contents of the bills are also significant. Inaccuracy and overcharging can arise where time is billed in high minimum increments such as a minimum .25 hour. However, overcharging may result even when discrete tasks such as phone calls, emails or reviewing correspondence taking only a minute or two each are separately billed at .10 hours each. Thus, even where clients have agreed in writing to the minimum charge of .10 hours, recording such entries with "no charge" may be appropriate on occasion in order to avoid overbilling.
Accuracy is an important issue in billing. Round or large numbers on bills, such as 5.0 or 8.0 hours, may draw scrutiny, especially where a lawyer is not engaged in trial or other verifiable lengthy task. See Arbitration Advisory 2016-02 and In re Tom Carter Enterprises Inc., 55 B.R. 548, 550 (C.D. Cal. 1985). Irrespective of the task, such entries may be viewed more as an estimate than the actual time expended, particularly when the lawyer uses generalized descriptions like "research issues," "conduct discovery," "trial prep" or "review file." Ultimately, an arbitrator may require the lawyer to demonstrate the propriety of large whole number entries and generalized descriptions as well as the accuracy of the resulting claimed fee.
Another issue that regularly surfaces in fee arbitrations is the propriety and effect of "block billing." Block billing is the practice of assigning a one-time charge to multiple separate tasks. Many judges and arbitrators believe that block billing hides accountability and prevents a client and the fact finder from discerning which of the listed tasks may not be compensable. Where a lawyer handles several disparate tasks in the same day and bills one block of time to all of them, some cases indicate that this disguises non-compensable tasks. See, e.g., Bell v. Vista Unified School Dist., 82 Cal.App.4th 672, 687-689 (2000). Other judges and arbitrators consider the use of block billing a patent violation of the requirement that the bills "clearly state the basis thereof," enabling the client to void the fee agreement and put the burden of proving the reasonableness of the fees on the attorney months, if not years, after the tasks were performed.
Some case law indicates that a penalty is appropriate at the discretion of the trial court assigning a reasonable percentage to block-billed entries. See Heritage Park Financial v. Monroy, 215 Cal.App.4th 972 (2014). Billing multiple tasks with one entry may be appropriate "when those services are rendered in one time frame without interruption, but it is preferable when counsel interrupts research to make or receive a phone call, that the time spent on that phone call should be separately stated for the reasons set forth above." Different functions performed at different times of day should result in separate entries. See In re Tom Carter Enterprises Inc., 55 B.R. 548 (C.D. Cal. 1985).
Block billing, the practice of "assigning one time charge to multiple tasks," can also result in reduction of fees recoverable because it can inflate the actual time the lawyer takes to complete the tasks. See Arbitration Advisory 2016-02. Accordingly, both courts and arbitrators can scrutinize block-billed entries, place the burden on the lawyer regarding such entries, or even disregard them entirely. In Christian Research Institute, the court found that block billing, "while not objectionable per se in our view, exacerbated the vagueness of counsel's fee request."
Arbitrators also recognize that many lawyers simultaneously perform administrative, ministerial and secretarial tasks while representing a client. "Operating a law practice requires substantial efforts on the part of the lawyers wholly unrelated to representing clients. This includes dozens of administrative, managerial and ministerial tasks lawyers must perform every day. In the vast majority of cases, it is inappropriate to seek to charge a client for such non-legal tasks." See Arbitration Advisory 2016-02.
A lawyer may charge a client only for work actually done by the lawyer. Therefore, if a lawyer utilizes a recycled or standardized document, unless the client has consented to the contrary in writing in the fee agreement, the client may only be charged for the lawyer's revision of such documents. See ABA Formal Opinion 93-379.
Similarly, if a lawyer intends to bill multiple clients for the same tasks or time, the lawyer must first disclose the billing arrangement to each and every affected client, and obtain their consent in their corresponding written fee agreements. The billing arrangement must also be fair to each client and not constitute an unconscionable fee.
Issues concerning the use of contract attorneys are also adjudicated in fee disputes. Generally, whether contract attorneys may be utilized should be disclosed and explained in the written fee agreement. Also, and most importantly, absent a written agreement to the contrary, the client should only be charged the out-of-pocket cost of the contract attorney. Similarly, the use of a non-licensed paralegal or legal assistant should be disclosed in the written fee agreement. More importantly, the client should not be charged for any task performed by a paralegal or legal assistant that does not constitute substantial legal work under the direction and supervision of a lawyer, including case planning and management, legal research, interviewing clients, fact gathering, drafting and analyzing legal documents and similar activities. See Business and Professions Code Section 6450(a).
Careful management of billing will assure that attorneys' fees are collectible should your client pursue arbitration.

As digital convergence accelerates at retail, improving customer engagement becomes a priority since data shows that companies with an integrated and well-executed omnichannel approach see extraordinary levels of consumer retainment compared to retailers that do not.
It's with this in mind that B2C marketing automation firm Selligent Marketing Cloud and customer experience management company Servion Global Solutions have partnered to bring "real-time omnichannel customer experiences" to consumers, globally.
"As consumers become more empowered, brands will need to engage them in more meaningful ways than ever before – at the right moment and across all channels," the ceo added.
For B2C retailers and brands, the expected outcomes include: lower costs through "proactive customer communications" as well as more opportunities for "up-sells and cross-sells given full insight into the customer journey," the companies noted. Other benefits include "tailored and consistent" communications between shoppers and retailers regardless of how and where they shop.
