Just like in humans, diabetes mellitus in pets means your dog or cat's body is unable to produce insulin. Therefore, "the body cannot convert glucose, or sugar, into energy," as the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) explains. "This creates toxic compounds called ketones that, if left untreated, can result in serious illness or death." Managing diabetes in pets usually requires the same techniques as in humans: insulin dosing, special diets, and plenty of exercise.
All of this means, if your dog or cat is diagnosed with diabetes, you'll work closely with your veterinarian to create a new healthy lifestyle for your pet and monitor it. Your pet will require strict meal times and a daily exercise regimen. You'll also learn about providing a daily insulin regimen, if needed.
Fortunately, dogs can enjoy a high quality of life if you manage their diabetes well. Part of that management requires lifestyle changes in the diet and exercise realm. Most veterinarians will recommend a high-fiber, low carb diet for your dog because a high-fiber diet will keep your pet full without packing on the calories.
Your veterinarian will probably recommend an increased exercise schedule, too. Depending on your dog's age and overall health, you and your veterinary team will be able to determine if one longer walk or several shorter walks throughout the day would be better for his health.
You'll also learn how to test your dog's blood sugar and manage insulin injections since most diabetic dogs require them daily. It's all very doable.
Managing diabetes in cats can be more challenging because cats are often more finicky than dogs. Diet-wise, your veterinarian will likely recommend a high-protein, low carb diet because protein keeps your cat full.
Yes, your cat needs exercise, though you may not be likely to put Fluffy on a leash and take a walk. Alternate ways to get your cat moving include playing "chase" or "pounce" with a feather toy. If your cat likes catnip, try offering toys stuffed with it. Know that while kittens are happy to entertain themselves, adult cats will usually require you to interact with them.
Besides diet and exercise, you'll also learn how to test your cat's blood sugar at home and manage insulin injections. There are some oral medications that may work as well. You'll veterinarian will discuss appropriate options with you.
As you can see, managing diabetes requires monitoring and scheduling. You'll want to monitor your pet's diet and make sure they have a normal appetite because if they stop eating, that can mean a dangerous drop in blood sugar. You'll need to maintain a regular meal schedule and check your pet's glucose levels regularly.
It's typical to schedule regular visits to your veterinarian (likely every 3-4 months) for checkups. If you need to schedule one of those appointments, or if you have any questions about your pet's health, please contact us!

Lucy, Hercules, and the Myths About Female-Led Movies
Analysis, Close-Up, Features
According to its audience, Scarlett Johansson's ass-kicker action movie Lucy isn't all that good at a Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 45%. Our own Cameron Ward gave it a 3 out of 5. "There to entertain" rather than anything else, it's nevertheless proven itself a giant at the box office, wiping the floor with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Hercules to the tune of $94 million worldwide – and that's with Lucy only a week into its UK release. The story itself isn't too much to look at, and neither is Johansson's character (though her own charisma is ever present). As LA Weekly would have it, if you love female-led movies, don't support this one.
But is that a useful sentiment to lead with? It's true that the vacuous action of Lucy, where the character's strength lies in her arms rather than her heart, isn't anywhere near the end game we should be aiming for; but all that one-note thinking reflects the cold, hard facts of one-note box office numbers. The cold, hard fact to take away is that Lucy has blown her competition out of the water whilst Hollywood is still living ten years in the past, griping over box office flops like Elektra and Catwoman. The wheels of the movie machine have, it seems, ground slower that the audiences coming to see them.

Those audience have proven exponentially female. As the young male audience begin to drop away in larger numbers the industry is failing to keep up; the only studios really paying attention seem to be Disney, who have released more female-fronted films in the last year than most studios have in a decade, and the bods behind The Hunger Games and Divergent franchises. Along with those two YA behemoths, Frozen and Maleficent have trailed the way for the R-rated Lucy to come kicking and screaming into the box office. Fifty percent of Lucy's seats in the first weekend were female.
Shockingly (or not), the fastest-rising cinema demographic will turn up to see themselves on screen.
So that's that particular myth blown out of the water. It's now categorical that female-led films are not the poison the Hollywood spin machine wants them to be, with the numbers not so much mythic as they are majestic. And they're not just box office earners; last year's female-fronted Gravity swept the awards board, proving that the critical acclaim can easily accompany earning potential.

The numbers are in and the new regime is ready; if you want to make your production budget back in one weekend, put a woman front and centre in your film. But this is only step one in a much longer, harder battle. Moving from the world of box office fact to skillful fiction, it's not enough to stick the proverbial Strong Female Character into your film and call it a job well done. So it might be true that the action genre is not always the place to find full, fleshed-out characters. Franchises like The Expendables exist on the idea of character rather than any concrete effort, and it's easy to wonder if the proposed "female version" will do the same. Even Maleficent stripped the nuances out of the character, reverting the world back to black and white when the most interesting female leads are shades of grey (as long as there aren't fifty of them, anyway).
No, what needs to be done is to take those numbers and turn them into something special. The action genre has plenty of room for women who aren't Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson, something their trailblazing has hopefully highlighted, but it's time to turn that earning potential to other genres – and genre is the word. Hope seems to rest in the franchise, where the worked done by Katniss Everdeen and Tris may be followed by a female Ghostbusters reboot and an as-yet-unnamed female-led film in the Amazing Spider-Man universe. "Nerd", the thinking-woman's genre, is the place to be female right now.
Courtesy of: Paramount Pictures
Sadly and somewhat surprisingly, this doesn't extend to the Daddy of the genre franchise, Marvel. Asked about the phenomenal success of Lucy and its star Johansson, who arguably earned her fighting moves by playing their very own Black Widow, Feige brushed off calls for her own movie with his well-worn "timing" excuse. According to Feige, the main obstacle to a Black Widow movie is juggling so many character spin-offs at once within a military-precision timeline; meaning that a man who makes friends with ants has been placed above the franchise's only visible female lead since the word go.
So whilst the success of Lucy has blown the cobwebs off the radical idea that women can storm a box office weekend, there's still more than some way to go to convince the bigwigs that female-led films are the ones their now female-led audience want to see. We're seemingly no closer to a Black Widow movie than we were when Iron Man went supernova in 2008, and the chances of a female Bourne or Bond getting their time in the sun could be a little ways off.
But the truth is out there, in a sequence of numbers reading $269 million and counting. That's one box office boom that won't go back in the box.

Rae has more stamps in her passport than teeth in her mouth. At 11 months old, she's been to 26 countries on 4 continents, thanks to her globe-trotting parents. By the time she turns one, she will have visited over 30.
"It's just the most amazing experience to be traveling with her," said her mother, Erica Levine Weber. "And she's loving it! Who knows what she's really thinking, she's probably like 'My parents are crazy!' But who knows how much she'll absorb."
Levine Weber chronicles her and her husband Chris' adventures with Rae on The Worldwide Webers, offering survival tips for flying with a baby and helpful hints for planning a range of trips.
Levine Weber's passion for travel began after high school, when she participated in a National Outdoor Leadership School camping and hiking program. She went on to study abroad in Madrid, Spain while a student at Syracuse University.
"I just fell in love with the excitement of travel - getting on a plane and being in a completely different culture in a matter of hours," she told INSIDER.
After college, she took a job at a global translations company so that she could continue seeing the world. When she met Chris at an NYC bar on a Sunday afternoon (earning him the nickname "Sunday Funday" in her phone and now on the blog), they immediately bonded over their shared love of travel.
"It went from an epic Sunday Funday to a lifelong journey," she said. "So we're basically on one long Sunday Funday now."
Both working global jobs, they relocated to Singapore and South Africa before settling in Switzerland, traveling together almost every weekend.
When baby Rae came along, the couple didn't miss a step, investing in baby carriers, changing pads, and car seats to embrace the experience of taking her along.
"So many people say, 'You're traveling all these places with your daughter and she's not going to remember any of it,'" said Weber. "And I'm like, I don't care if she remembers any of it. It is the most special experience ever to Chris and I...We just want to soak it up. We don't want to stop. It's so much fun."
Rae doesn't just ride around in strollers. To date, she's been on planes, trains, helicopters, catamaran and canal boats, cars, and horse-drawn carriages.
Other travelers are often surprised to encounter a baby, like when Weber carried Rae up and down 1,000 monastery steps in Jordan's ancient city of Petra.
Weber said that Rae loves the attention.
Rae is an adventurous eater, as well.
While Rae is usually friendly and easygoing on airplanes (which makes sense, considering she's been on 40+ flights!), there can still be stressful moments.
It helps that Chris is an expert diaper changer on any surface.
Even with all of the challenges that come with traveling with a baby, Weber wouldn't have it any other way, hoping to continue their family trips indefinitely.
But Weber loves the way Rae helps her see the world.

Microsoft deepens Facebook ties in search battle - Alexei Oreskovic, Mountain View, Calif.— Reuters
jeudi 14 octobre 2010 par Administrator
Microsoft Corp (MSFT-Q25.11-0.23-0.91%). deepened its ties with social networking company Facebook Wednesday, bolstering its fledgling Bing search engine to catch up with Google Inc (GOOG-Q540.00-3.30-0.61%).
Starting Wednesday, Bing will take data posted on Facebook – such as users' "likes" or preferences – and use that information to provide more relevant search results.
The tie-up between the world's largest software company and the largest social network potentially pushes Web searches – one of the Internet's earliest activities – in a new direction.
It underscores the growing competition between Facebook's 500-million member service and Google, whose search business has dominated the Web in past years.
"Google owned the old Web, the content-centric Web. Facebook has early leadership in the new Web, the social web," said Ray Valdes, an analyst at industry research firm Gartner. "This is the real long-term conflict. Microsoft in that sense, is a secondary player in this new battle."
Analysts said the new social search features are unlikely to immediately boost Bing's market share – which has been creeping up since launching last year – but noted that the deal allows Bing to differentiate itself, with access to information that Google doesn't currently have.
Facebook executives said they hoped that other search engines would also use the company's social data in the future, but Chief Technology Officer Bret Taylor said that Facebook was only working with Microsoft for the time being.
"Right now Microsoft is such a close partner to us that for the foreseeable future I think we just will be working with Microsoft," said Taylor, in an interview following the announcement, which took place at Microsoft's Silicon Valley offices.
Microsoft invested $240-million in Facebook in 2007, giving it a 1.6 per cent stake. The two have forged various business collaborations over the years.
A Google spokesman said in an e-mailed statement that the company welcomes competition that helps deliver useful information and expands user choice, and that having strong competitors benefits Google by making the company work harder.
Microsoft, the world's largest software company has stepped up its efforts within its online services division – which lost $2.3-billion last fiscal year – to challenge the dominance of Google, the world's largest search engine. Its shares closed up 2 per cent at $25.34 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Facebook data provides important "signals" to help refine search results, Microsoft Online Services Division President Qi Lu told reporters.
As part of their agreement, Bing will be able to access users' publicly available Facebook profiles and their "likes" on the social networking service, and deliver search results tailored to individual preferences.
"The thing that makes Microsoft a great partner for us is that they really are the underdog here," Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg told reporters at Microsoft's Silicon Valley offices. "Because of that they are in a structural position where they're incentivized to go all out and innovate."
Microsoft introduced the overhauled version of its search engine last year, and forged a 10-year partnership with Yahoo that merges the companies' back-end advertising systems, offering marketers a larger audience.
Google remains the undisputed leader in search with 66.1 per cent of the U.S. market in September, according to research firm comScore. Yahoo is second with 16.7 per cent and Bing third with 11.2 per cent.
"It's good that they are finally trying to address these shortfalls in Web presence and mobile," said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, referring to the Facebook announcement as well as the launch of new phone software earlier this week.
"But I'm not sure when it's going to translate into dollars. As an investor that's really what I want to know. What's it going to do to your bottom line ?"

Honoring Our Past
Honoring Past Presidents
Tillie Award
Mother of the Year
Past Mothers of the Year
Jingle & Mingle Holiday Lunch & Ornament Exchange
Past Scholarship Recipients
FRESNO COUNTY WOMEN'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
"And I love you all." That is how Rachel Judith Emily "Tillie" Olson Tuschhoff left each and every FCWCC meeting that she attended, and she attended them all. We are privileged to have Tillie as a past member and have established the Tillie Award in her honor.
A little about Tillie:
Tillie "took care of business," she was always full of energy, and eager to stay connected to the business world that tied politics and community together. She understood the importance of women networking to learn from one another. Tillie lived by what she called "The 3 C's of Service" - committed to community, the chamber and the country. She was an active member of FCWCC for years even after she retired from PG&E Co. (after 46 years). Longevity - another fitting word to describe Tillie as she was committed to FCWCC through thick and thin. As women were not allowed in the Fresno Chamber at the time, she became one of the founders of the original "Women in Chambers of Commerce." She exemplified the long term commitment to the success of the women's chamber.
Tillie never missed a FCWCC meeting. She always showed up. She made a point to tell everyone how important they were to her. She held the members accountable to their commitments and encouraged them to always do our best. Tillie mentored young FCWCC members and reminded everyone that they could reach any professional goal with integrity and honesty.
Tillie was a "lady" with a clear vision of what was fair. She was outspoken, offered her opinion at FCWCC meetings, always kept the monitor on task, and she had a stern voice when necessary, reminding us of how a "lady" should debate items of concern: do your homework, never quit until you get what you want, and always listen to both sides to reach an agreement.
Tillie was proud to lead the FCWCC membership in the Pledge of Allegiance and her voice rang out above others. She was also proud to be an American; her mother came from Sweden and received a U.S. flag upon becoming a U.S. citizen. Tillie made it a practice of raising and lowering the flag at home every morning and night. She described the flag as a "symbol of brotherhood and love in the greatest country in the world."
Tillie was famous at FCWCC events for her floppy red hats, large colorful glasses and quick wit.
A friend and past President of FCWCC, Rose Willems, had this to say about Tillie, "I got to know Tillie when she was in her 80's. She had an amazing memory as well as an eye for detail. She lead by example, knowing the power of her dazzling smile, and she had gained the wisdom of understanding the fine balance between family, career and desire for adventure. She witnessed many positive changes for business women over the years and was always supportive of female colleagues' achievements. I enjoyed my friendship with Tillie and was challenged as President of FCWCC to make sure I always had my facts straight before I presented items to the membership." Tillie made sure every FCWCC event she attended was a lively one, with interesting conversation as well as opportunities to learn more about her life experiences. Tillie was the first woman to serve as President of the Fresno Republican Assembly in 1972.
Tillie Tuschhoff was born May 16, 1909 in Fresno County and died on February 23, 2006 in Fresno County.
In Tillie's honor the Chamber planted a tree in Woodward Park by the north entrance, and the board continues to honor Tillie by recognizing a deserving member of the Chamber each year.
In bestowing a member each year with the Tillie award, we look for nominees who exemplify these strong characteristics; commitment, length of time as a member, strong and relevant in the community, and if they promote and encourage women to come to FCWCC events. An organization is only as strong as its members.
Criteria for being chosen as the Tillie Award winner:
Honoree will be an active member of the FCWCC
Participate in membership meetings
Exemplify the most notable characteristic of Tillie Tuschhoff – will "love everyone"
Serve the community in a variety of ways
Look for ways to promote FCWCC and its mission
The Tillie Award recipient is chosen each year by past Tillie Award honorees. Any FCWCC member may nominate a fellow member.

Wish I Was Here (2014)
Review of: Wish I Was Here (2014)
Product by:
In this comedy/drama a non-practicing Jewish husband/father, struggling to find a job as an actor, wrestles with financial problems, his father's impending death, his faith, & relationships with his wife & 2 kids. A funny, sometimes very moving character transformation film.
Rated R. Running time: 1 hour 46 min.
Our star rating (0-5) 4
You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates…
Gabe is critical of his son Aidan, wanting him to give up his dream of acting. (c) 2014) Focus Features
Zach Braff, directing a script he co-wrote with his brother, Adam, has given us a mixed bag of a comedy and a drama that explores spirituality, death, and family relationships. This is an ambitious program that many critics have trouble accepting, their reaction ranging from those like myself who enjoyed and appreciated what the brothers have come up to those who seem to have gone out of their to castigate the film. Reading a couple of such negative reviews, I wondered if we had watched the same film. Thus you are forewarned that this film might or might not be for you. One thing to be sure of, with so much profanity, it is NOT a family film, even though there are children in it. This family keeps in their kitchen a Swearing Bowl into which a dollar for every swear word must be placed. It is almost always Dad who does so. In the past just one use of his favorite word would have earned the film an R rating.
Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) is an unemployed actor whose inability to support his family has been a subject of criticism by his widowed father Gabe (Mandy Patinkin). Even his wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) who had agreed to take a tedious cubicle job inserting data into the system of the L.A. Water Department is beginning to weary in her support of her husband's dream of an acting career. He is so desperate for an acting role that he even shows up at an audition where the role calls for a black man—all the other actors (black of course) have played Othello. Then comes the day when Gabe tells Aidan that he has to withdraw his financial support for the tuition of daughter Grace (Joey King) and her younger brother Tucker (Pierce Gagnon) at their expensive Hebrew school. The grandfather has inoperable cancer and wants to try an experimental new treatment.
Aidan is upset not because the children will be deprived of their religious education—he himself has not practiced his faith in ages—but because the local public school is a terrible alternative. Grace, however, is heartbroken because she has embraced the faith so much that she wears drab long dresses and plans to cut off her long hair and wear a wig, as so many Orthodox women do. Aidan appeals for charity from the head rabbi (Alan Rich)—who is watching cat videos on YouTube—but the old man laughs this off, delivering him a lecture instead on the need for him to become a man and support his family, rather than relying on his wife to be the breadwinner. Later, when the old rabbi visits Gabe in the hospital he rides a segway down the hall, on which he crashes into a wall while trying to make a right turn!
Aidan also has a brother named Noah (Josh Gad) who is even less of a success than he. Noah lives in a trailer park overlooking the ocean and spends his day at his computer and creating his costume for a science fiction or comic convention. He refuses to go see their father in the hospital because of the years of the senior Bloom lambasting him for his lack of success in embarking on a career.
Aidan thinks Sarah is happy at work, but in reality she is upset by the jerk who shares her cubicle who insists on verbally harassing in her. Her boss says in effect to put up with it and smile more often, though he does agree to move the coworker.
The film starts with Aidan's voice over revealing that he and Noah as children played fantasy games with swords in which only they could save the world. Only maybe in reality it was they who needed saving, and they were just ordinary folk after all. This comes up several times, and also a sequence in which Aidan is dressed in a space suit accompanied by a little flying bot, the two apparently off on some adventure. Some critics found this offsetting and pointless, but it might be that this is repeated several times to show us the maturity process that Aidan is going through. Even as an adult he is living in a fantasy world, one in which he has depended upon his father to pay for the education of his children and in which he is unaware of how unhappy his wife is with their lot. When he tries to home school Grace and Tucker, he soon learns how unprepared he is. His attempt to teach geometry ends with her taking over the session and showing she knows more about the subject.
There are some intriguing scenes that explore spirituality, such as when Aidan talks with the junior rabbi at the Hebrew school, telling him about some spaceman dreams he has been having. Asked if he thinks God might be saying something to him, the young rabbi replies that maybe God is using the spaceman to get him to listen. Later, Aidan takes the children on a campout in the desert. On top of some rocks he speaks with them about an epiphany, an awareness of something greater than themselves. Grace has by now cut her hair to butch length, so her father turns her loose in a wig shop to choose any one she desires. She chooses a brilliant purple pageboy top. When it becomes obvious that the cancer treatment has failed, Aidan talks with the children about death. Grace has her faith to sustain her, as does Gabe, who later says that though he thought he would far the moment of death, he does not. His great wish is to have Noah joining the family around his bed when the end comes. How Grace, living up to her name, pleads over the phone with her Uncle to join them at her grandfather's bedside is another tear-inducing moment
The most touching scene, however, is the one in which Kate Huston and Mandy Patinkin practically steal the show. Although he had not been happy that Aidan had married a non-Jew, he now accepts her, telling her she will make a "great matriarch." He is touched when she tells him that he is the one who pulled her through during the loss of her sister. She tearfully confesses hat she wishes she had told her sister how much she loved her.
Despite its flaws (such as the dumb Swearing Bowl), this is a film raising theological and questions of values that a church or synagogue group could explore, and have fun while doing so. However, fair warning about the language and Noah's tryst while both are wearing their sci-fi costumes should be given.

naturally like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to

Volunteers thanked by the Mayor
Volunteers and charity workers from Farnham's many community organisations were thanked by the Mayor and local residents on Thursday (14 December) at the annual Civic Christmas Carol Service held at St Andrew's Church, Farnham. "At Christmas time especially we are reminded of the importance of spreading peace and goodwill to all but, for our excellent local charities, community groups and their volunteers, this is something that they do tirelessly all year round without looking for thanks or recognition," says Councillor Mike Hodge, the Mayor of Farnham.
"There is a tremendous community spirit in Farnham and this comes not least from the many volunteers who help make it a wonderful place to live and, particularly, who help those in need. It was great to have so many volunteers at the service; to be able to celebrate and thank them."
The service included beautiful performances from Farnham Youth Choir and Bible readings from the Mayor, Iona McCready from Potters Gate School and representatives from Farnham Lions, the Farnham Herald and Farnham Town Council. The congregation also sang much-loved carols such as O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald and Once in Royal David City. St Andrew's Church, parts of which date back to the Middle Ages, provided a spectacular setting and warm welcome.
Half of the congregation were representatives from Farnham's voluntary groups, invited by the Mayor as a thank you on behalf of the town for their work. The remainder were residents who had entered a ballot for tickets to the service, managed by the Farnham Herald. All guests were invited to a reception with the Mayor before the service.
Following an opening performance of Ave Maria by the Farnham Youth Choir, the service began with Rev David Ufindell, the vicar of St Andrew's, welcoming the congregation to his church. The Mayor thanked Sir Ray Tindle of the Farnham Herald for his sponsorship of the service and the newspaper's support in managing the public ballot of tickets.
At the end of the service, a collection was held for the Mayor's two charities: Brightwells Gostrey Centre and Woodlarks Centre. The Civic Christmas Carol Service has become a regular part of the civic calendar having begun five years ago.

Delectable food, exquisite venue, magical view and even love songs – all you have to do for Valentine's Day at the Blue Mountains' legendary hotel of love is provide the romance on Sunday, February 12.
Alternatively, treat your love to a chauffeur driven tour of the most romantic locations in the area with all the style of old Hollywood in a beautiful vintage car with Blue Mountains Vintage Cadillacs.
Or, mark the occasion as a major milestone and combine both experiences with a Majestic Journeys package.
Sweethearts can sip a rose petal cocktail on arrival at the Hydro Majestic Hotel before nibbling on a selection of high tea delicacies while Opera Australia tenor Brad Cooper and pianist Grace Kim return to the original Blue Mountains party palace to perform a suite of romantic serenades.
To be held the Sunday of the Valentine's Day week as part of the Roaring 20s Festival, the Kabarett program will be a celebration of wild electric decadence and dangerously dark humour.
The musical journey will travel through the wartime hits of Noel Coward and Ivor Novello via Berlin's comedian harmonists, the romantic golden age of Austria's Richard Tauber, Stolz and Korngold to Brel and Piaf's Paris.
Guests will be treated to the political passion of Hanns Eisler through to the irrepressible irreverence of Tom Lehrer and Dillie Keane today. Celebrate the special occasion by upgrading your high tea to include a glass of Australian sparkling wine or a glass of Pol Roger NV French Champagne while Opera Australia tenor Brad Cooper serenades.
Make the magic last with a three-hour vintage car tour along the escarpment edge, visiting romantic locations along the way before or after the performance.
Blue Mountains Vintage Cadillacs will collect you from and return you to any location in the Blue Mountains in one of the head-turning 1928-29 LaSalle Cadillacs. As elegant now as they were then, each beauty has been lovingly restored to spectacular effect.
Blue Mountains Vintage Cadillacs owner Donald Millar said: "If you really want to impress your loved one, Flora, Ella and Ava will earn you some serious brownie points." Timeless in shape, opulent by nature, "they have a beauty inherent in themselves" and create a flurry of attention wherever they go, Mr Millar said.
Go to bluemountainsvintagecadillacs.com.au, email info@bluemountainslimo.com.au or phone 0455 352 976 to book a luxury vintage car tour only.
Valentine's Weekend High Tea Kabarett featuring Brad Cooper and Grace Kim will be held from 11am to 1.45pm in the Wintergarden Restaurant at the Hydro Majestic Hotel, Great Western Hwy, Medlow Bath, on Sunday, February 12. Choose from a high tea serving at 11am or 12.45pm. Cost: $95pp.
Go to www.escarpmentgroup.com.au to book accommodation and other dining options at one of the four Escarpment Group properties in the upper Blue Mountains (the Hydro Majestic Hotel, Parklands Country Gardens & Lodges, Lilianfels Resort & Spa and Echoes Boutique Hotel & Restaurant).


Hakim was JADE Guest Chris' first D&D character. He is a Fighter using an Askar kit, and is from the Oasis town of Kafra in the Al-Qadim.
I didn't have an Askar with an axe, So Using an Artizan Designs mini holding a rifle, and replacing it with an axe did the trick.


Scot Loeffler orders the Code Red.
Our kindly BCS overlords appear to be freaking out over declining ratings and attendance.
Bill Hancock advises everyone to chillax.
"Every idea is on the table for the future of the BCS, including moving away from midweek games after Jan. 1," Hancock said. "But it's too early to speculate about what changes, if any, might be made.
That's because ESPN abhors a vacuum, dude. There's a problem, and it's one that they're powerless to change, because they're too firmly latched on to the teat of postseason broadcast money.
They'll come up with something and slap a playoff label on it, in the hope that we'll get all excited. And it'll probably work, at least for a while. But the reality of an extended TV schedule won't change just because of that. More and more, there's only one constituency that college football has to keep happy. Hancock's bosses are too blind, too stubborn or too stupid to see otherwise.
Say it ain't so, Chester. I'm truly bummed, but wish the best for you.
Lots of rumors that he ran afoul of Georgia's new anti-immigration law and its scholarship restrictions. If that's true, talk about your unintended consequences – I bet there are more than a few pro-Dawg legislators who didn't see this one coming.
UPDATE: So much for one argument.
GA Board of Regents policy on "undocumented students" derailed admission of #UGA O-line recruit Chester Brown. Story posting soon.
UPDATE #2: It's not the statute. It's the Board of Regents policy.
… a variety of people with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to the AJC on Tuesday that Brown's change of heart was because his admissions application to UGA was rejected because of a controversial Board of Regents policy that was adopted in October 2010.
That policy, created in the wake of the Jessica Colotl uproar at Kennesaw State earlier that year, states that an undocumented student can't take the seat of an otherwise academically qualified Georgia resident who has been turned away because of capacity constraints.

A: If you want to find ID by jQuery as your HTML attributes(className) then you can define attribute in square bracket like $('[className="resizerClass"]') and get other attributes value like attr('id').

$(document).ready(function(){
  var getId = $('[className="resizerClass"]').attr('id');
  console.log('id='+getId);

Seventeen-year-old Paul is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that neither his therapist or best friend and fellow geeky social outcast Mac can provide answers for. Worse still, Paul is starting to see the Fades – the spirits of the dead – all around him. They're everywhere but they just can't be seen, heard or touched by ordinary human beings. But now an embittered and vengeful Fade has found a way to break the barrier between the dead and the living and Paul and Mac and their friends and family are all right in the eye of the storm. The fate of humanity rests in the hands of two teenagers who already have enough trouble getting through a day in one piece, let alone saving the world.

Boston University lecturer was moving bed frame and mattress when elevator crushed her to death

A Boston University lecturer had just moved into her apartment and was moving a bed frame and mattress when the building's elevator crushed her to death.
Carrie O'Connor, 38, was moving her belongings into her apartment in the 1920s building on Monday evening when the accident occurred.
Authorities said she became trapped in the doorway of the first floor and the elevator, according to a police report, obtained by the Boston Globe.
O'Connor was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was extracted by Boston firefighters.
In the report, police wrote that O'Connor's 'mattress and frame were also removed from the scene and held in the garage area'.
The items are being held at this time 'as evidence,' police added.
Boston University lecturer, Carrie O'Connor (left and right), 38, had just moved into her apartment and was moving a bed frame and mattress when the building's elevator crushed her to death, according to police
O'Connor died on Monday evening when the elevator (pictured) suddenly dropped between floors as she tried to load her package
Firefighters are seen outside the apartment complex in Allston, Boston on Monday
Following the accident, tenant Leanne Scorzoni, told the Boston Globe, that she spoke with a man who had been helping O'Connor right before she was killed at the building located at 1140 Commonwealth Ave in Allston.
While the elevator usually works via a two-door system that requires the second door to be firmly shut before moving, it's believed the weight triggered a sensor by fault.
'I heard it, he saw everything,' tenant Leanne Scorzoni said. 'He was helping her with a box into the building and he was going up the stairs, and he told her "hey, just be careful because it's an old-fashioned elevator."'
Scorzoni described the scene as 'horrifying'.
'I don't know what type of elevator it is, but you have to pull the door across and then step in and then press the button,' she said.
Scorzoni added that she was told the elevator had a sensor, and the man who was helping O'Connor believes that the package may have triggered the sensor, which caused it to start moving.
She told the Boston Globe that there is a staircase next to the elevator, and the man helping O'Connor was talking to her as he was going up.
Tenant, Leanne Scorzoni (pictured), said she spoke with a man who had been helping O'Connor right before she was killed at the building located at 1140 Commonwealth Ave in Allston. Scorzoni said the man told her to 'be careful' while using the elevator
'It's a two-slide door system and unless that door is completely shut, it does not move ever,' tenant Nevada Foskit (pictured) said. 'If something did happen, it clearly had to be faulty'
Authorities (pictured exiting the building) said O'Connor was found in the elevator on the first floor. She was pronounced dead at the scene
'He just said "oh, I don't think that's gonna fit in there." And then she's like, "oh, I'll try it one more time". And then I heard her screaming, and I heard him screaming,' she told the publication.
Scorzoni added that the man was screaming and pointing when she emerged from her first floor apartment.
'When I looked at the elevator, it was not there. Only the ceiling of the car was on my floor, so all the cables were there,' she said.
Scorzoni said she did not know O'Connor, and the French lecturer had only recently moved into the building.
Other residents in the building reported hearing screams at the time of the tragic accident. An unidentified witness told Boston 25 News that she 'heard just an ungodly scream'.
'We ran into the hallway and saw a gentlemen who was in distress screaming and hyperventilating and saying she's dead, she's dead'.
The building's residents weren't allowed inside for about 90 minutes as police worked the scene and were told that the elevator was stuck between the first floor and the basement.
Eric Carmichael told CBS that his wife was on the first floor when the accident occurred.

In a statement, a spokesperson from the state's Division of Professional Licensure said officials from the Office of Public Safety and Inspections determined that the elevator was recently inspected and certified in accordance with state regulations
He said she told him that it all happened so fast and there was nothing she could do to help.
'The lady was trying to put her package into the elevator, like that's how we do it. Take it from the lobby,' Carmichael told the station.
'I guess maybe the package and the woman were over the limit of what the elevator could handle so then what my wife said she saw was the lady's arms like hanging onto her package.'
Carmichael called the accident terrifying because any it could have been any of the residents inside when the elevator malfunctioned.
'Terrible old elevator that should have been probably kept up better,' he added.
Another resident told CBS that the elevator is an old system.
'It's a two-slide door system and unless that door is completely shut, it does not move ever,' Nevada Foskit said. 'If something did happen, it clearly had to be faulty.'

The elevator became stuck between the first floor and the basement, which is where the washers and dryers are in the building
The building (pictured) itself dates back to 1920, according to tax records, but it's unclear when the elevator was installed
Management of the building said the elevator was inspected within the past year.
According to WCVB, Boston's Inspectional Service Department said the elevator is overseen by the state.
In a statement, a spokesperson from the state's Division of Professional Licensure said officials from the Office of Public Safety and Inspections determined that the elevator was recently inspected and certified in accordance with state regulations.
'The department extends its deepest sympathies to the loved ones of the victim during this difficult time,' the statement reads.
Police and officials from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are still investigating.
The building itself dates back to 1920, according to tax records, but it's unclear when the elevator was installed.
Boston police sergeant Detective John Boyle said her cause of death was traumatic asphyxia, and the manner was accidental.
According to O'Connor's biography on the Boston University website, she has taught 'a wide range of courses throughout her career, including French language, French for Business, Conversational French, French literature in translation, and French culture through gastronomy'.
She previously taught at Bentley University, Louisiana State University, MIT, Northeastern University, and Tufts University.

Qeyno seeks to close the STEM diversity gap by unlocking a future where one professional can micro-mentor thousands of students with a touch of a screen - taking mentorship and workforce development to the next level.
At eight years old, Kalimah held a successful hunger strike against his Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn group home to add more books to its library. As a trouble-making high schooler in Harlem, NY, he was mentored by Dr. Lorraine Monroe, a world-class educator, who sowed the seeds to him becoming a social innovator. By the age of 17, Kalimah started his first computer company that primarily served low income neighborhoods. In October of 2000, his teenage brother was shot and killed behind their childhood elementary school, inspiring Kalimah to form a lifelong commitment towards transforming education for under-served kids.

Senior swimmer steps up as leader for freshman
Kalysta Donaghy-Robinson/The Ithacan
Senior swimmer Michael Sheehan has helped the Ithaca College men's swimming and diving team jump out to a 5-1 start and also welcome in a large freshman class to the team.
By Tobiah Zboray — Staff Writer
As the Ithaca College men's swimming and diving team moves from the fall into the spring semester, the team holds high goals for the semester leading up to the Liberty League Championships. For a team looking to make a push during the second half of the season, senior swimmer Michael Sheehan sees his role on the team as a mentor.
Sheehan has appeared in Liberty League championships in each of the last two seasons that the team has had, finishing with a team–best time of 4:48 in the 500-meter freestyle in the 2020 Liberty League Championship. Without having a season last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheehan is ready to step back into his place as a role model for the new members of the team.
Staff writer Tobiah Zboray sat down with Sheehan to discuss his impact as a leader, and the expectations for the team this season.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Tobiah Zboray: What have you most enjoyed about being a member of the Ithaca College swim team?
Michael Sheehan: For me, it goes back to the family aspect of it. Making friendships over the past three-and-a-half years has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I know that I'll be friends with them down the line.
TZ: How have you seen yourself grow as a swimmer over the past four years?
MS: As a swimmer, I feel like I've definitely become more mature. When things don't go as they are planned, you can either let that bring you down, or you can keep pushing forward and keep doing as much as you can. It taught me that while it might not be the way that I expected things to go, there is still a lot to get out of it and I can still enjoy the sport in the same way that I did before.
TZ: With that maturity, how have you been able to help this new class of freshman swimmers joining the team, helping them to make an impact both in the pool and in the locker room?
MS: As a senior on this team, it's your job to kind of show them the ropes, this is what it's like to be a Bomber, this is what it's like to be a part of the team. It's also your job to make them feel appreciated and wanted, because they are, they are wanted. Everybody talks about them when they're recruits, we are always looking to see who's coming in the following year, and we're very excited. They're coming into a team that has been together for a while and it might be a little intimidating at first, but in reality the team just wants to become one and become closer together.
TZ: What are your expectations for the rest of the season for yourself?
MS: Personally, I just want to try to motivate my teammates as much as possible. I want to make sure that they know what it feels like to be a Bomber, and I'm very excited to be able to show that. In the pool, just focusing on every day, trying to get better than I was the day before. It's easy to focus on the outcome that you want, but my focus this year has just shifted to making sure I can better myself every day. And if I can better myself every day, then I can have a good end to the season.
TZ: With one tournament left in the fall semester in the Bomber Invitational, is there anything that the team wants to do specifically in this final meet that hasn't been done in previous meets?
MS: We have a few extra relays that we can swim, and this is a great opportunity for the new kids to show what they're capable of in swimming. They are capable of a lot, I know that from watching them every day at practice and from their times. For them, it's just about going as fast as they possibly can, it should be about wanting to go fast and enjoying that process while they're doing it.

Webinar: Reconciling Ways of Knowing: Indigenous Knowledge and Science Online Forum series: 'Connecting Spiritually with the Land and Each Other.'
JOIN US IN STARTING OFF THE NEW CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE NEXT IN OUR SERIES OF DIALOGUES ON RECONCILING WAYS OF KNOWING
We are pleased to announce the next dialogue in our Reconciling Ways of Knowing: Indigenous Knowledge and Science Online Forum series: 'Connecting Spiritually with the Land and Each Other.'
Join Elder Dr. Dave Courchene, Grandmother Katherine Whitecloud, Dr. Blair Stonechild in dialogue with Moderator Shaunna Morgan Siegers on our essential and spiritual connection with the land and each other.
"Connecting Spiritually with the Land and Each Other" will discuss our fundamental connection to and inseparability from the world and each other and how this understanding carries a spiritual dimension for Indigenous Peoples, to which we remain connected through our ceremonies. This is a foundational understanding present in many Indigenous ways of knowing but often missing from the dominant worldview that has shaped Canadian environmental policy.
After an initial discussion, our other Reconciling Ways of Knowing Convenors, Miles Richardson, OC; Dr. David Suzuki; and Dr. Nancy Turner will share their thoughts and insights on this discussion of relation and spiritual connection. Moderator Shaunna Morgan Siegers will then turn to our audience-participants for thoughts and questions for the speakers.
Our intention is to hold space for this discussion to take shape as guided by spiritual direction, to begin the new calendar year off in a good way, as we continue with our Reconciling Ways of Knowing: Indigenous Knowledge and Science Online Forum Series into 2021. We hope you can join us.
This is a ticketed event to cover the costs of organizing and hosting. Tickets are $10 per person. For anyone able to contribute at a higher level to support our organizing efforts, we also provide a $25 and $50 registration option and gratefully appreciate your support for our efforts to organize this ongoing critical dialogue. Thank you for your support.

Preparing for the Future – How Yellow Quill First Nation is using Indigenous knowledge and Science to Mitigate the Risk of Flooding
Climate Change Adaptation, Climate Crisis, Community Engagement, Flooding, Saskatchewan
(Image: Researchers and community members looking at maps of flooding events in YQFN)
Being no stranger to threats from climate change through growing up with constant flooding, forest fires, and extreme weather overwhelming his community, Myron Neapetung, a Councilor at Yellow Quill First Nation, had an idea to help his community be better prepared for the future. Over the years, he had built relationships with the University of Saskatchewan, and felt like it was time to start gathering the Elders' stories and working with scientists on climate change concerns so that ongoing problems could finally be resolved. In May 2018, together with Lori Bradford, an Assistant Professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan, Myron launched a First Nations Adapt Program grant to look at their community's vulnerability to more frequent flooding brought on by the effects of the climate emergency.
The project had four main parts. Looking back through records at the Band office, and the urban services office in Saskatoon, Myron realized that the community was short on record keeping and mapping capacities, so the first step was to contract LiDAR services (Light Detection and Ranging, a remote sensing method that uses a pulsed laser to measure ranges) for the entire watershed. With this very detailed information about the elevation of the land around the reserve, computer modelers at the University of Saskatchewan were able to put together risk maps and put these maps into models that predict flooding. The community was presented with maps that showed where water would likely go if there were a variety of storms, like 50- and 100mm flooding events. Elders and knowledge holders in the community verified these maps to help the computer modelers improve their accuracy. With a shortage of LIDAR available in Saskatchewan, the University-based modelers were very grateful to be involved in this work and learning from those experiencing flooding was incredibly valuable to them.
Picture 1: LIDAR DEM Map showing elevation
The second step involved bringing people, young and old, from the community together to talk about flooding. That involved many community meetings in the summer of 2018, interviews with Elders and knowledge holders, projects with school students, and sharing circles. We also used a variety of other data gathering techniques like drawing and taking pictures of flood effects, going on extensive community tours, hosting poster sessions for feedback on any information gathered already, and enjoying many community lunches together. Myron, University students, and the researchers then analyzed the combined data from these activities and made posters and presentations to share with the community and other researchers at conferences.
Picture 2: Community meeting with posters
The third step involved hiring three summer students in the community to look at the emergency management planning documents, and talk with emergency personnel, such as firefighters, road crews, water treatment officers, Chief and Council members, health care workers, wellness center staff, and others involved during emergencies. These students catalogued everyone's ideas to improve emergency plans in the case of flooding. The three summer students are in the middle of summarizing their results and comparing them to what is written in the official documents.
Picture 3: Photo of records of previous work on flood engineering
The last step for the vulnerability assessment was to invite some engineering experts to do an infrastructure assessment in the community to give a thorough review of important infrastructure that is at risk from ongoing flooding. The First Nation PIEVC Infrastructure Resilience Toolkit process will be occurring August 19-23rd in Yellow Quill with the assistance of the Ontario First Nations Technical Services Cooperative, Stantec Inc., and the Saskatchewan First Nations Technical Services Co-operative.
Picture 4: Where the water will go for certain flood events
The overall goal is to learn about the vulnerabilities of Yellow Quill First Nation so informed decisions about how to prepare for a future of unpredictable climate-related challenges can be made in a way that respects community-held knowledge and experience while also harnessing some of the hydrological modelling sciences to predict how climate change might affect daily life. This first climate change adaptation opportunity has spearheaded YQFN's involvement in a number of research projects around water at the University of Saskatchewan and farther afield in Canada, and has provided a lot of capacity building opportunities for people from Yellow Quill to learn more about climate change, floods, research, and emergency management.

** I will do a review of The Shining Biz and Life Academy and Leonie Dawson's Goal Setting workbooks in another post.
I discovered Leonie and her Goal Setting books several years ago through a friend. At that time the books were only in PDF form and 9.99$! This was way back in the beginning! I fell in love right away.
I loved the colors and creativity of the workbook as well as the spirt of Leonie. I loved listening to her, reading her emails and enjoyed how genuine and open she was to the world. Although the Goal Setting books took an incredible amount of ink, I bought them yearly and worked through them.
As time passed things changed, as they always do. Leonie had children and it seemed from what she shared, she was being attacked online by trolls. I ached for her as I know how it can hurt when you are an open hearted person.
Things may have changed fast or slowly, I am not sure as it didn't really hit me full force until this year. There was the email stating that if you didn't like how she would cuss, (a lot), then tough. She was going to be the real her and swearing came with the package.
Then about 1 and half years ago Leonie offered for free her Business Goddess Course. I took it and found it very helpful for a person starting their own business. I tucked away the thought that I would eventually join the Academy and try it out. That time came last Fall when the prices were going to be raised from 497$ a year to 997$ a year.
I decided to give it a go. I loved Leonie and had learned so much from her Business Goddess Course so I would try it. (As I said before I will review the Academy in another post).
The one thing I admired about Leonie was her creativity and the fact she used her passion in Art to create a business. I also loved listening to her and her heart. Once I joined the Academy I realized that things had changed. There was lots of swearing, to the point that I had to make sure my kids were not in the room if I listened to a recording. And, sadly, I felt that Leonie had an edge to her. Maybe it was the trolls or being in the public eye, but there was a hardness that wasn't there before.
I was sad. We all change, and we all choose how we want to show up in the world and I respect that. It was just very sad to me.
BIG MISTAKE. There was some nice discussion with other members about MLM's. Then Leonie took offense at my review. I decided not to pursue, defend or discuss as I knew the end was in sight. So, I deleted my comments, left the group and as of September will let my Academy Membership lapse.
Then the Newsletters with invitations to watch the MLM webinars, links to buy etc. Honestly, I get these so often from other friends who sell products from MLM's I want to scream! I felt my space invaded. I felt betrayed. (MY FEELINGS!). I had joined the Academy and followed Leonie because of her creativity and Open heart. I now felt like I had been played. It had not been made clear that MLM's was now part of the deal. The whole atmosphere of the academy had shifted.
It was time to go. Time to break up. So I did. And it wasn't that hard at all I discovered. I had already been filling my world with Goddess groups and creativity circles so I had what I needed.
