This was, in truth, her fourth appearance in 3 years ~ though she's changed a bit over the years ~ her hair has gained more flair and detail, her body more style. Each time as she emerged onto a canvas, I was tricked into believeing that she needed a distracted child against her. In the most recent composition, the indifference of their painted relationship, once again, required the child's removal. In the previous three paintings, the child was removed twice and stayed in the third ~ the distraction stayed as well in this third painting and though I knew from the beginning that that painting was meant to be special, in the end I had trouble connecting with it ~ I had failed to understand the message. To be honest, this painting awaits its finally-decided fate of repainting. One painting proved successful as a lone woman and has gone off to live with a family. One hides unfinished in my closet. But the woman always starts out the same: she's confident and eyeing me, testing me. This new solo woman has enticed me to continue working on her, though I love so much about her, deep down I wondered at the very beginning if she too would end up in the closet. I enjoyed the process of highlighting her skin and defining her bare shoulders and smooth chest. I had determined, while painting her eyes, that she is coming out of apprehension, hiding her nerves with humor and mirth. She is whimsical, and she is a bit of an Earth Mama. Though there seemed, at first, no way to show her role as a mama, I knew from the beginning, somehow, that she was one. I seriously wondered how this painting would fit in with the rest of my paintings, her being alone and all... Then as I worked on her, I asked her why she'd come again and I wondered about her message. Her expression was unsure, but longed to be something more than indifferent. Thinking out loud, I realized in only a second that I KNEW her purpose ~ and suddenly two pieces of a puzzle come together in a way that gave me chills… Here is the first piece of the puzzle: Over the past three years, I've been approached by mamas whose motherhood was snuck from them as they lost their precious child at or just before birth. I have listened to their stories and have felt so hard for them. Two mothers in the last week, alone, have contacted me with their stories, and each detail saddens me. When I was pregnant with my first son, I knew a woman who was also expecting her first child, we communicated via email. When my son was 2 weeks old and sleeping peacefully, I emailed to see how she was enjoying motherhood. She wrote back with a heart-chilling story of giving birth to a baby girl that she new was no longer living. The physical and emotional pain of birthing a beautiful baby that she could only hold for one afternoon. The distress sent me to my son's bedroom where I held him and rocked him and tearfully thanked all willing to hear that my son was safe and healthy. My friend's story changed my life. She has since gone on to have another sweet daughter, and they talk to her of her older sister. I have wanted to approach this soulful subject matter in a painting for a long time, as a way to honor those free souls, and the mamas whose babies left too soon... This new woman is the second piece of the puzzle: A true Oh My God moment occurred the night I realized this Earth Mama would carry her child's spirit and memory in the form of an image, with her always, around her neck and close to her heart. In the form of a talisman. There was a reason why a child didn't fit in the composition with the woman whom I knew just had to be a mother ~ she has a non-earth child. As I sketched the large pendant across her open chest, unsure of the exact mother & child image it would contain, my indifferent no-longer-solo woman finally gave me a smile. And now, upon her completion, this Earth Mama shares earth and fire with the sunshine around her neck, despite the blues draping her shoulders.

The Ladder UPP: A World Class Personal Development Tool
The Ladder UPP increases focus, meaning, and resiliency. It is a guide as you examine your life and use that as fuel to clarify and grow your personal mission and identity allowing you to Unlock your Personal Potential.
The Ladder UPP's evidence-based solution will impact your life. This program was developed helping veterans, active duty soldiers, rape survivors, drug addicts, prisoners, and many others impacted by severe trauma reorder and maximize their lives. Proven to work with them, it will work for anyone looking to regain focus and maximize their life potential wherever you are in life.
The Ladder UPP can be used alone, in a small group, with a counselor, pastor or mentor, by couples or with friends. It helps you dive deep into your life in order to find answers and direction that will pull you through life's transitions.
The Ladder UPP is a great tool for organizations looking to help their employee lead more engaged, focused lives. Engaged and focused employees work harder, are happier, and take less time off.
The Ladder UPP brings clarity and focus. It helps you examine your life and make the right decisions to move forward with deeper meaning and happiness. The Ladder UPP is straight forward, but it takes work. Be prepared to look at your life in a way you never have before.
The Ladder UPP compliments all peer support programs, is a great resource for counselors, and can assist anyone interested in life focus and an evidence-based life skills tool.
We also offer training for those interested in implementing peer groups, peer support for larger organizations and communities, and those wanting a more in-depth understanding of The Ladder UPP.
The Ladder UPP workbook and The Ladder UPP Core on-line eCourse consist of 3 sections – Reveal, Rebuild, Start the Journey:
Reveal – Whether you just aren't happy with life, or you are suffering from conditions like depression or PTSD, you must REVEAL your true self by looking at your past, present and future honestly and with transparency.
Rebuild – Then you must REBUILD your life by ordering your life clearly and simply, setting goals, and looking forward with passion and purpose.
Start the Journey – Finally, you must START THE JOURNEY by taking that first step with a clear plan and others who will hold you accountable.
Those are the steps The Ladder UPP leads one through – REVEAL, REBUILD, START THE JOURNEY – and those are the steps that build the foundation of a life that is free.
Many ways to use The Ladder UPP workbook and eCourse:
Friends and loved ones use it this way: When someone we love is suffering they can seem unapproachable. When life seems "stuck", for whatever reason, we have no confidence we can move forward. When it comes to helping each other move forward in life, we can feel like we are treading on pins and needles and are helpless to help even our closest friends and family. What we need is a tool to help understand them, to create empathy, and engage them in a forward thinking, positive way. The Ladder UPP is that tool. You can use it alone to examine your own cracks, then once you are better equipped, as a method to engage the ones you love and care for them. We are all on The Ladder UPP. We need each other to fully live.
Communities use it this way: as a platform for the discussion on how life can break us, and what we do to respond to it. Ideally suited for a peer group setting, sometimes the best healers and motivators of life are people just like us. It is easy to start a group and begin the journey. The workbook guides one through the process and we are here for any questions you may have.
Counselors use it this way: As part of their existing counseling practice. The Ladder UPP is a data-driven tool that follows the best practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. We used the Snyder Hope Scale in the development of The Ladder UPP to measure its effectiveness at building hope and increasing engagement. It will be a compliment to your existing practices and a powerful tool in your arsenal of healing. Coming from the point of view of someone who was a previous consumer of mental health services, it is a great way to engage with your clients. And as a workbook they can take home with them, it can help you dig deeper into someones life when they are off the clock.
Churches use it this way: It can be hard to take that step from individual to member of a community, and it can be especially hard when we are burdened with a host of life issues. Especially, if we have never belonged to a faith community. Whether you want to reach out to veterans, to those suffering with addictions, or anyone struggling with life, The Ladder UPP can help you make that connection and bridge the gap from loneliness to belief and community. Think of it as an on-ramp to faith and purpose.
Veterans use it this way: The transition home can be tough, one we never fully make. So much is caught up in our identity of "Solder" or "Marine" or "Sailor" or "Airmen", etc. that the things we have buried deep inside never see the light of day because it is just too hard to reveal ourselves. The Ladder UPP can help you dig through the dirt to really come "home" and fulfill the destiny you owe yourself, to truly live free. It might seem impossible, but it can be done. It can be used alone, in a group, with a counselor or with a loved or friend. There is hope.
Students use it this way: Sometimes, we can feel like life has carried us along like a twig on a stream. But we have one life, and it was meant to live free. Building our life on the things we are most passionate about is the best way to live. This can be hard. There is so much in life we have little control over, and those are the things that can distract us from what is important. The Ladder UPP will help you focus, dream, plan, and empower you to live free!
Police and first responders use it this way: In many ways, police and first responders fight their own war. Spread out over a career, the impact of trauma, long hours, and always being under scrutiny can take its toll. Unfortunately, first responders like those in the military can deal with these issues by trying to "suck it up." But "suck it up" only works so long, and usually not very well. We need to examine these issues, to find outlets to deal with them, to understand that being "strong" means being willing to get help when we need it. Whether used alone, in a peer group, or with a friend, counselor, loved one, etc. The Ladder UPP can help you deal with the things we keep locked away in order to live better.
Survivors use it this way: When we lose a child, spouse, family member and/or loved one, it can be devastating. The kind of devastation that breeds anger, despair, and a feeling that life will always be a dark place with something missing. To live again, we have to be able to look forward and use our loss as fuel for the passion and purpose that will allow us to live again. Sometimes it is as simple as asking ourselves, "How would my loved one want me to live?" The Ladder UPP can help us process and discuss our loss in a way that moves us forward as we use our life to illumine others who have suffered loss themselves. We all can suffer, may we all find the strength and purpose to help us overcome and live free. There is no better testimony to the fact that we need each other.
Children use it this way: Growing up is hard enough in a perfect world. But this world isn't perfect and often children can face what seem like impossible hurdles to living. Much of my journey to create The Ladder UPP took place as child, one who loved to write and explore his creativity. Due to some unfortunate events, this creativity was snuffed out and only rediscovered when I was older and broken. Thankfully, this rediscovery saved my life. If you give a child an outlet to express themselves and grow in a non-judgemental creative way, they more often than not will find a way to process their pain and move forward. The Ladder UPP can encourage and guide a child through this process and help those caring for them penetrate the often difficult shell they build between us and them. We were mean to live free and the best place to begin is when we are young.
Anyone can use it this way: Passion and Purpose. The greatest killer of these, the muddle of life. From kindergarten to grade school to high school to college to job to 401k to retirement to death. The world's expectations of life can drive us along and sometimes during that journey we wake up and go "how did I get here!" Is there where I want to be?" That can be a paralyzing realization. One that we either ignore and continue muddling, or one that we truthfully confront and act on. Especially as we grow older and feel like we have more to lose, change can be hard unless it is driven by deep passion and purpose. The Ladder UPP will help you discover passion and purpose and create a plan to make it happen. We all get cracks, we all can be broken, yet we have one life. So live free!

This year I'm taking you behind the scenes of writing, editing and publishing my fourth novel, When I Fall in Love. This week, my lovely fourth book baby is finally released into the world as we reach P-DAY!

Then I visited the lovely AVON team and recorded an episode of BookD at HarperCollins. It was a brilliant couple of days and of course I took my video camera with me...
So here, for your viewing pleasure, is my very exciting P-DAY PODCAST (with added JLS... sort of)
p.s. This week's YouTube-nominated freeze frame is entitled, 'Things That Make You Go OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH'
p.p.s. Music on the vlog is 'You Got It' which will be available soon!

This was on our way to lunch at Masa, our favorite place to eat in Echo Park. Amy spotted these doorways in the alley we parked off of and we snuck a few more shots in. That girl's got a good eye.
Stuff On My Mischa
The Light the Fire Makes
Good For You, Good For the World
Who wants to save the world if we can't look cute doing it? Okay, probably someone, but not me. I am loving this newly found Etsy shop called Amour Sans Anguish.
All of the super unique clothes are made from recycled facbric and reclaimed articles of clothing.
I am seriously considering purchasing this one.
A Little Break
If anyone has ever wondered what my situation or surroundings are when I write this blog - the picture above is my lap and the fur ball is Tres, who has become quiet snuggly since the temp has dropped into the 60s. So the computer is perched just in front of him on my knees and my arms stretch over him because I'm a sucker and what Tres wants he gets.
If You Haven't Voted What Are You Doing Reading This?
You Know You Want It
If I Were 12...
These dolls made my inner 16 year old Goth give my inner 9 year old Barbie lover a huge hug and then they ran into my inner Manga fan (those are comics, mom) and they all threw a party.
I love these things. They're like Blythe dolls gone wrong.
They're called Zombuki and the website has a photo shoot for each one. Totally cute. My favs are here and here.
Ridin' It Out
Bicycle Riding from Zack McTee on Vimeo.
Our friend, Zack, did a cool little video of my baby riding around town on his bike. Looks good!
UPDATE: I have no idea why this won't imbed properly, it's super annoying. So go here to watch.
Self Reflection
Lowbrow Sophisticate
I am once again very proud to be a contributor in the world of The Lowbrow Sophisticate. This online lit zine has witty, dry humor, social commentary and just plain good writing. It's filled with something for every taste: poetry, short shorts, excerpts from plays, novels and essays.
The creator and main writer for the site, Dan Monroe, has excerpts from his yet to be published book - The Resiliency, giving you the chance to get a sneek peek before it hits the best seller list.
You can find my stuff posted under Jonesy. Enjoy!
That's More Like It
Now let's just all replace those ugly hatin' PA people with progressive, adorable teenagers and Gossip Girl stars in our minds. Deep breath...okay, I'm good.
Better watch it again for good measure (and more Penn Badgley. he's scrummy.)
Puke Worthy
Thank you Pennsylvania for reminding us that ignorant bigots live in more than just the deep south and Michigan.
Warning: Cute factor is at tooth ache level on this clip. My babiest cousin, Danni Shannon getting her groove on. Ignore our chatting and my rendition of Joe Perry's guitar riffs. Danni turns 1 this month! Oh my, how time flies.

There were gorgeous Dahlias all over the place.

Has anybody ever tried this free Sundance Organic tea? I sure haven't. Then again, there are tons of things that I hear are great but which I've never tried; like exercise, skydiving, reading poetry, waking up before noon, and not taking 10 naps a day. Now before you rush to judgment on those final two items, I'd like to point out that I have a rare disease that requires I sleep 15 hours a day. It's called Goobitis and it's very
serious awesome.
Man, all this typing has made me tired. Back to bed!

September has been pretty amazing as far as comic shows go. First, I went with Alexis Ziritt to the Cincy ComiCon. It was the con's inaugural show, but you never would have known it. The organizers were well...uh, organized (duh) and the volunteers were super attentive to the exhibitors and attendees. You could really tell that they had put a lot of thought into the show based on past experiences (good and bad) they had either as guests, exhibitors, or attendees themselves. It was a 3-day convention, which is a big undertaking for your first time putting on a show. Friday was only open to "VIP" guests who supported the kickstarter campaign and it was only open for about 4 hours. It was a soft opening with a small crowd. This might not have been to good for some of the exhibitors, but this is the type of thing that comics enthusiasts and collectors love. A first crack at getting the best stuff. I expect word will get out and this will be a more utilized option in the following years. Saturday and Sunday were more typical of what you'd expect attendance-wise with Saturday actually getting pretty crowded. On the social/activity side, the con offered a drink and draw event at The Hall of Justice's museum Friday night and an art auction on Saturday night. Both were a good time. The D&D at the museum was a nice environment to hold the event. Lots of interesting stuff to look at in between conversations and lots of little areas to hang out and chat. It was also spread out so you didn't have to yell to be heard or strain to hear over crowd noise. The auction was a small, but active group. The auctioneer and host (Kara Moore) kept things moving at a good pace so you weren't "stuck" there all night. This is important if you want to bid on one of the items that comes at the end of the night. There were quality pieces available in the auction from some big name artists, too. The prices were good with a real steal or two, as well. Again, once word gets out about the auction in the collector community, this event will only get better.
I had a good time and got to meet a bunch of new people. I look forward to going back again next year's show (for which they have already booked a larger space).
So after hosting Alexis at my house for a few days, we trekked up to Bethesda, MD to meet Toby Cypress, Andrew MacLean and his wife Erin for SPX. None of us had ever exhibited at SPX before, and I was the only one who had ever even been to the show (once last year). I was a little worried on how OOSA would be received since we do more of what might be considered "mainstream" type comics. I felt we might be kind of atypical for the show and thusly looked over. In actuality, that couldn't have been further from the fact. Everyone was fantastic! Lots of people were aware of Andrew, Alexis and Toby's work already and even those who weren't gave their stuff a good look. Our location in the corner was great, too. I was a little concerned about being out of the main thoroughfare and how that might affect our traffic (and sales), but we had lots of space for us behind the tables and it turned out the space provided a nice relaxing area for the attendees to get out of the crowded pathways and have an unhurried look and a nice chat with the artists. We all had a great show and sold lots of books, prints and shirts. Liz Suburbia was sitting with Kevin Czap at the show, but came over to visit a few times. She got to meet the other OOSA artists and take a break from the crowds. It made me happy to have the group together, but it made me wish the rest of the OOSA artists could be there too. Maybe next year.
It was a great time outside of the expo's business hours as well. It's always great to catch up with folks that I only get to see a couple of times a year, meet new and interesting people, and rub elbows with comics all-stars. I could do some major name-dropping... but I won't. I'll just say I was in amazing company all weekend long. But that's SPX in a nutshell i guess, isn't it?
So, thanks to everyone that came to see us at CIncy ComiCon and SPX. And if you took the time to check out our stuff or talk with us about whatever, it is certainly appreciated. I know I enjoyed every minute of it.
See you next time!

Showboat Cinemas
416 Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened as a single screen New Lake Theatre in 1937. It was twinned when Polson Theatres took over. This is considered the flagship theatre for the Polson Theatre chain. Open daily showing first run attractions.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
The Polson Showboat has plans to expand to 4 theaters sometime around Spring 2008.
Well, the money isn't there and the location isn't the most desirable. With the new businesses located at the south end of town it was a wise decision not to go forward. At it stands, the Showboat is a friendly local theater with great popcorn!
this theatre opened as the New Lake Theatre in 1937 and by 1938 it was just the Lake Theatre. It was still listed as the Lake Theatre in 1957. So the Showboat name must have came later.

If you are in college for the first time and do not qualify as another student type — if, for example, you are not a veteran or a Tennessee Promise student — then you are an Other Degree-Seeking student. Other Degree-Seeking students have standard advising requirements. Your advising checklist is right here.
Purposeful Advising With Students (PAWS) is a module designed to help you choose a career goal that matches your interests. When it directs you to take an assessment, be sure to take the 60 question version in order to get the best results. PAWS must be completed before meeting with an academic advisor. They will ask you about your results and provide resources for additional exploration.
Students are required to meet with an advisor their first two semesters at Pellissippi State. To schedule an appointment, log in to myPellissippi and check for the "Ready to Register" alert. Contact the advising office at your campus.
When you meet with an academic advisor, you will discuss the type of degree you wish to earn and what you intend to do with it — like transferring to another college or joining the workforce. Your advisor can help you select the correct classes plus special options that may be available, like weekend or evening classes or degrees offered as part of a cohort. Be prepared by researching this information:
We not only have traditional class times during the day, we have lots of options to fit your schedule and your preferences: evening classes, weekend classes, online classes and even hybrid classes, which are offered partially online and partially on-campus.

The "Road to Romanticism" surveys the entire Romantic era, beginning with the first phase that began with the Storming of the Bastille (1789) through the 1848 Revolutions and uprisings in Europe; and the second phase that coincided with the death of Richard Strauss (1948) and his final compositions, Four Last Songs.
Romanticism represented a revolt against the social and political notions embraced by the philosophes of the 17th and 18th century Enlightenment; therefore, Romantics opposed the scientific rationalization of nature. Whereas the Enlightenment exalted reason, Romanticism revolted against reason and exalted subjectivity; it became an epochal shift of consciousness that emphasized subjective emotions, imagination and the primacy of the individual and basic human sensitivities and feelings.
Romanticism sought a new world order; its expressive ideology was intended to redeem society from the false illusions of Enlightenment promises that led to the French Revolution, Reign of Terror and Napoleonic excesses that had caused despair, resignation and disillusionment.
The Romantic Movement served to awaken society to the failed promises of the Enlightenment and the subsequent inequalities and injustices that remained after the chaos. Humanity was in pain, and the artistic expression of that agony within the genres of the Romantic spirit provided relief and hope; Romantic artists expressed their world-view in their respective oeuvres with truthful emotion and intense drama.
"Road to Romanticism" represents an exhaustive research of the oeuvres and goals of prominent Romantic era artists, writers, painters and composers of the time and analyzes the impact of the Movement in England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and America.

The Psychology of Altruism: Why Some People Act Selflessly to Help Others
altruism (n .) "unselfishness, opposite of egoism," from French altruisme, coined by French philosopher Auguste Comte in the 1800s. From Latin alteri, or alter - "other".
It is defined as, "devotion to the welfare of others, regard for others, as a principle of action: opposed to egoism or selfishness." (Oxford English Dictionary)
People who are driven to help others without self-gain are often regarded as heroes. A more scientific term would be altruists.
Their behavior seems irrational, even self-destructive at times. What accounts for such deviation from the norm? What causes some people to act heroically (or altruistically) despite possible harm to themselves?
Why, during Holocaust, some people risked their lives to protect total strangers while others remained indifferent? Why are people like Mother Teresa deeply moved by the suffering of their fellow human beings while the selfish masses couldn't care less?
To answer these questions, lets look at some theories about altruism, and examine altruistic people's worldview.
Altruistic Behavior in Animals
Group Consciousness
Altruistic (unselfish) behavior is the behavior that benefits others, with no self-gain or at a cost to one's own well being.
At a first glance, such behavior can be considered strange, even inexplicable. But biologically speaking, and contrary to Darwin's survival of the fittest maxim, altruistic behavior is common among animals, especially in species with complex social structures.
So how can altruism be explained from a scientific point of view?
The answer has to do with the group consciousness of the species. Although disadvantageous on an individual level, on a group level altruism is extremely beneficial. Individual self-sacrifice insures the survival of the species in the long run, therefore it is embedded in our genetic code.
Even plants know altruistic behavior! Studies show that plants can recognize their siblings and prefer them over others, and that siblings that grow together are healthier overall. This is referred to as "kin altruism" - members of the same species or family preferring or helping each other.
Plants were also shown to form partnerships with one another. For example, there are networks of fungi that help the neighboring plants by exchanging nutrients, water, and protection from pathogens for sugars. This is called "reciprocal altruism" - members of different species or families collaborating with each other for the mutual benefit.

Altruistic People's Worldview
So why do people act altruistically? Isn't it normal to just take care of oneself? After all, self interest is the foundation of our economy, and society in general.
In order to explain altruism, we have to dig deeper. It's not just different behavior, it's a different view of the world.
Kristen Renwick Monroe, author of The Heart of Altruism and The Hand of Compassion who interviewed hundreds of rescuers of Jews during World War II, describes altruistic people this way:
"These people were very interesting in a variety of ways. They were ordinary people in the sense that they weren't heroic types, they were just like you and I. Demographically, there weren't more men than women or more women than men; there were not more religious people. There would be some differences along some of these lines. But the critical variable seem to be how they saw themselves in relation to other people, and when an altruist or rescuer looked at a stranger, they would just see another human being. They thought of themselves as people who were tied together, bonded together, to other people through the common humanity that we all shared. So the attitude that rescuers had towards other people – and ironically this included Nazis as well as Jews or allied airmen, or anybody else that they were saving – was that we are all human beings. We're all part of this together. "
According to her and many other researchers, this all-inclusive deeply humanistic attitude is the main distinguishable difference between altruists and regular bystanders.
"The self-concept may actually shift, to include other people in that sense of your welfare. This might happen in the same way that if there were shooting in a schoolyard and you had a child there, you would immediately go, you would do anything, you would give up your life for your child. It wouldn't even be a question for you : you can't separate your happiness from that of your child. Altruists have something akin to that with other human beings. "
Researchers also found that altruistic acts are usually spontaneous. As one rescuer who saved over a hundred Jews during Holocaust said, "the hand of compassion was faster than the calculus of reason." Seems that altruistic people just take action without considering the costs to themselves. They feel as if they don't have a choice. Their humanity dictates that when another human being is in trouble, you help.

TED Talks: The Why and How of Effective Altruism
Quiz: How Altruistic Are You?
© 2013 Lana Adler
@Hi, kalinin1158,
We might differ in our views as far that there would be no meeting point, right.
I didn't mean you would have been talking abuse literally, I thought more generally, about language and altruism.
Language might put a higher requirement and qualification on altruism. Language would not allow a human offering. Language would ask if this is the will.
Wordless knowledge will be uninteresting to me, as such ideas always have been (Eastern spirituality, no names).
I don't quite get the 'mind chatter, the incessant inconsequential thought-making we are so used to' that you'd mention.
I like to think; I like philosophies and linguistics. I don't have any 'mind chatter'. :)
Thank you for the interesting discussion, too.
People without language are not capable of structured thought and have to rely on carers to render their intentions -- if they want to go out, stay home, do shopping.
There wouldn't be thought without language. Separating language from thought, would you say that documents like the Declaration of Independence or Constitution, for example, are "just some words", artificial constructs?
What would be that "deeper" wordless thing you're saying you're examining? A human without language could not be truly an altruist; you could be only talking abuse.
Not being concerned with semantics, you are not concerned with the human. There are no words without meaning. Semantics is focused on meaning. There is no human thought without words meaning -- the language impaired need the unimpaired to exist, also for semantics.
I cannot agree on selflessness. I hope you find this interesting,


text: Since Christmas (well, even before), Syd has been pushing to get a bunch of projects done on the house as well as around camp. Our desire is that the house will basically be done so that when we return next term, we will be able to focus wholly on developing the men's training program and any other camp programming. Little by little he has been checking things off of his list, and in the weeks since Nathan, the Dakota team, and the Jackson's families arrived, he has been very happy to check a lot off much more quickly. We are so grateful for everyone's help. Some of the projects have been building shelves in the camp workshop and our storeroom, finishing more painting around the house, finishing our ceiling, and putting up more cupboards and building a table/counter for the kitchen.

With the return of warmer weather, people are once again going to be outside and travelling in higher numbers. This is a great time for restaurants since it means more customers and more business. In order to not look like you've just been hibernating, now is a good time to engage in a little spring cleaning and get your business in tip-top shape. As proud retail wholesalers for all your business needs, we at MVR Cash & Carry not only offer the best products to get your cleaning done right, we also have some handy tips for when you're scrubbing down.
Go beyond your normal cleaning protocols and really scrub down into the corners, crevices, and window and door areas that are more likely to get skipped. Without winter slush to worry about, there's no reason why your floors should look dingy either. We've got an array of cleaning solutions including Pinesol multi-surface, Mr. Clean disinfectant, Windex, and Bleach Classik, which can be used in concert with microfibre cloths or a new mop for maximum cleaning action.
Go over your tables, chairs, and booths with an eye out for any structural damage. Scuffs, stains, tears, loose bolts, scratches, and more can all drag down the appearance if not addressed. Scratches might be fixable with just a bit of paint while rips or tears in cushions or upholstery could take a bit more effort. Wooden tables, particularly outdoor ones, should get re-sanded and stained if necessary, and teak items may need to be re-oiled as well.
Keeping the bathroom in good conditions is essential to maintaining a business. People will talk if they find your bathroom is gross, foul-smelling, or otherwise unpleasant, and customers will avoid businesses that have dirty bathrooms. As springtime means more customers, it also means more people using your washrooms. Stay on top of your cleaning policy and, if necessary, give the bathroom a few extra check-ups each day.
Part of keeping your bathroom in good condition is making sure it stays stocked on sanitary essentials. MVR provides Cartridge hand soap, M2 soap dispensers, urinal pucks, and paper towel dispensers and refills from San Jamar, Kraft, Metro, and more.
Your mop and squeegee may have been a loyal helper during the winter, but spring may be a time to send them off to retirement. Months of dealing with snowy weather, slush, and grime can wear down even the best cleaning tools. Consider upgrading to a fresh-faced mop or squeegee that can take on grime and gunk with gusto, such as a 12 oz or 16 oz M2 mop. We also carry bucket and wringer sidepresses and wet floor signs to make cleaning easier and safer.
At MVR Cash & Carry, our wholesale store is filled to the brim with everything you need to make this year's spring cleaning a resounding success. What makes us the best choice for being your wholesale janitorial supplier is that we are not open to the public. Our membership is reserved exclusively for business owners, and we have tailored our inventory to meet all of your professional requirements. That means we offer the prices, volume, and top brands that every business wants and needs.
Come by our Toronto warehouse store and pick out the best cleaning supplies, tools, and equipment to get your restaurant in tip-top shape. If you have special requests or specific needs, feel free to look for any of our managers (or even the owner!) on the floor and we will be happy to do the utmost to satisfy your needs. You can also contact us for more information.

Signs We're Living in a Police State
Stop-and-frisk laws have been under fire since they were first suggested, but what about other laws that criminalize living and moving throughout our communities?
Many more exist, often hidden behind different motives.
There are laws that criminalize the act of carrying condoms or wearing "provocative" clothing. "Loitering for the purpose of prostitution" is a common excuse for making an arrest. And there are laws that ban gatherings in certain places and make setting up a table in a public park a misdemeanor.
Sit-and-lie ordinances are a sugar-coated version of the original stop-and-frisk, and yet, they oftentimes go unnoticed. A West coast specialty, these ordinances criminalize sitting and/or lying on public spaces not meant specifically for this purpose (read: benches).
Obviously, this law is not used to arrest the "average" citizen who casually uses curbs and planters as seats. This law's intent is to criminalize homelessness, busking, and building communities from within.
Essentially, its intent is to criminalize the freedom to use public space peacefully, for those whom the police see as "undesirable." This, of course, supports the goal of keeping the homeless out of sight and inside the legal system. These are not the laws of a democracy and a "free" country. These are the laws of a police state, where the people fear the government more than the government fears the people.

Succulents are awesome. I don't have the best luck with keeping indoor plants healthy (or alive), but succulents seem to always have my back. They're hardy, they don't mind if you forget to water them for a few days, and they don't require a ton of maintenance. Plus they are just adorable. Additionally, they are also easy to fill your home with for almost no extra cost. All it takes is a little propagation; as in, you can regrow succulents from existing leaves (magic, right?).
If you want to see how it's done, watch below! For the full scoop on how to regrow succulents, keep reading.
- An existing succulent plant
- Quick-draining potting soil (usually labeled as cactus soil)
- A plant pot with draining holes
- Patience!
Begin by pulling loose leaves from an existing succulent plant. The leaves should give way easily, and the edges where the leaf separates from the stock should be clean.
Lay the leaves on a paper towel. Let the leaves dry out in the sun for 2-3 days, or until the ends of the leaves are calloused over. The leaves are too dry if they begin to wrinkle.
Fill a plant pot with quick-draining potting soil. Moisten the soil, and lay down the succulent leaves. Over the next few days, keep the leaves moist by lightly watering, or misting with a spray bottle. Keep the pot in a sunny spot.
In a few days the leaves should begin to grow roots! Look for smaller leaves growing from the initial leaves.
In a week or so the initial leaf should begin to wither away as the new plant takes root. Wait until the new plant is strong before you safely remove the withered leaf (in about a month).
Be patient as your new plants start to grow. It will take a few months before they are hardy and big. Care for your new plant by watering weekly, and keeping in a sunny location.
I started my indoor garden with one succulent plant (that was actually a freebie), and have since propagated it three times! It's like getting free plants over and over, with the only cost being a little patience.
Now that you know how to grow new succulents, you can make a cute wooden holder for them to live in!

Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch's puppeteer comes into the spotlight
(CNN) After 46 years as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, Caroll Spinney is stepping forward in a new documentary about his life as Big Bird.
Sesame Street's puppeteer, at 81 years-old, participated on reddit's Ask Me Anything forum to promote the documentary, \"I am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story.\"
Asked about his most meaningful moment with a child while filming or later, he wrote the following, included here in its entirety.
\"This is a very sad story, but it's real.
I got a letter from a fan who said his little boy, who was 5 years old, his name was Joey, he was dying of cancer.
And he was so ill, the little boy knew he was dying.
So the man, in his letter, asked if I would call the little boy. He said the only thing that cheered him at all in his fading state was to see Big Bird on television.
So once in a while, he wouldn't see Big Bird on some days, because he wasn't necessarily in every show. So he asked could I telephone him, and talk to the boy, tell him what a good boy he's been.
So I took a while to look up a phone, because this was before cell phones. And they got a long cord to bring a phone to the boy.
And I had Big Bird say 'Hello! Hello Joey! It's me, Big Bird!'
So he said 'Is it really you, Big Bird?'
'Yes, it is.'
I chatted a while with him, about ten minutes, and he said 'I'm glad you're my friend Big Bird.'
And I said 'I'd better let you go now.'
He said 'Thank you for calling me Big Bird. You're my friend. You make me happy.'
And it turns out that his father and mother were sitting with him when the phone call came. And he was very, very ill that day. And they called the parents in, because they weren't sure how long he'd last.
And so his father wrote to me right away, and said 'Thank you, thank you--he hadn't seen him smile since October, and this was in March--and when the phone was hung up, he said 'Big Bird called me! He's my friend.'
And he closed his eyes. And he passed away.
And I could see that what I say to children can be very important.
And he said 'We haven't seen our little boy smile in MONTHS. He smiled, as he passed away. It was a gift to us. Thank you.\"'

No matter how you feel about the title character in Deadpool—by his own admission, he can be a little difficult—there's a good chance you came out of the movie feeling jazzed about Colossus. As promised in the opening credits, this is an entirely CG character, but one that was brought to life through the hard work of many flesh and blood human beings. In a new video, Wired explains how a group of performers joined forces to make one of the most memorable digital characters in recent memory.
Colossus started taking shape in a motion capture studio, but there was still a long way to go. "There was also a separate six foot nine inch performer filmed on location in a classic grey tracking suit," says Wired's Mike Seymour. "He still wasn't tall enough and had to wear either platform shoes or an extra headpiece for height."
In addition, a third performer was brought in to provide the model for the character's chiseled jaw-line and a fourth actor (Stefan Kapicic) performed all the dialogue. "Even then, the actual facial animation of those lines was delivered by somebody else," Seymour explains, adding that the face performer was Digital Domain's Greg LaSalle.
Sick of reading about Colossus yet? Wait, there's more. Since LaSalle doesn't look like the character, his performance had to be re-targeted to fit the metallic facial model. "For this, Digital Domain uses their new Direct Drive system, which—as the name implies—allows Greg's performance to drive the CG face, while still maintaining high frequency subtle movements."
For an even closer look at the process of making Colossus, watch Wired's full video below.

Jeff Dusek is leaving the District Attorney's Office after 34 years
Jeff Dusek's case history
• Alejandro Avalos Fernandez pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and rape in the 2001 slaying of Gladys Conrad, an 84-year-old retired psychiatrist who was killed in her Carlsbad retirement community. Fernandez was sentenced to 34 years to life in prison on Jan. 7.
• Jonathan Scott French was convicted in May of first-degree murder in the July 2009 death of Jennifer Stark, 43, his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Stark was a popular court reporter who worked at the Vista courthouse. French was sentenced to 26 years to life in prison.
• Frank White, a San Diego police officer, was acquitted of a felony charge of grossly negligent discharge of a firearm and a misdemeanor count of exhibiting a firearm, stemming from a 2008 road-rage incident involving a mother and her young son. Police described the mother, Rachel Silva, as the aggressor in the incident. She was shot twice in her right arm. Her then-8-year-old son was shot in the left leg.
• Joseph "Bob" Orlosky was acquitted in March 2009 of manslaughter, shooting into an occupied vehicle and two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, for shooting at three men he thought were stealing copper from his ranch in Jamul. It was his second trial for the shootings. A year earlier, he had been acquitted of the most serious charges of murder and attempted murder.
• Peter Jacob Johnson was found guilty in December 2006 of killing Robert James Spencer, 19, whose body was found Sept. 17, 1978, in the trunk of a car in Serra Mesa. He had been shot once in the back of the head. Johnson was sentenced to life in prison with parole.
• Stanley Ray Clayton pleaded guilty in 2005 to fatally stabbing in 1987 William H. Thompson, publisher of what was then San Diego's only black newspaper. Clayton was sentenced in August 2005 to life in prison without parole.
• David Andrew Boysen, charged with murder in the beating and shooting deaths of his parents, Robert and Elsie Boysen in their Oceanside home
• George Williams Jr. was convicted in September 2004 of kidnapping, raping and murdering 14-year-old Rickieann Blake of Chula Vista in 1986. Her body was found near Interstate 5 in Barrio Logan on April 11, 1986, the day after she was taken from her home. Williams was sentenced to the death penalty. He remains on death row.
• David Westerfield was convicted in April 2002 of kidnapping and murdering 7-year-old Danielle van Dam. She was reported missing from her Sabre Springs home Feb. 2. Her body was found Feb. 27 along an East County roadside. Westerfield was sentenced to die for his crimes. He was sent to death row at San Quentin state prison, where he awaits execution.
Jeff Dusek, the lead prosecutor in one of San Diego County's highest-profile murder cases, didn't see himself as a trial attorney when he embarked on a career in law.
Although he knew he had a competitive streak, he had no background — or interest, initially — in speaking in front of groups of people. He figured he would end up an office attorney, perhaps working on business contracts.
"I was not involved in any public speaking throughout my education," said Dusek, who is retiring after 34 years as a prosecutor in San Diego County. "I was the guy who sat in the back of the classroom and hoped they didn't call on me."
Over time, Dusek got past the nerves and discovered he had a knack for reaching a jury.
In 2002, he was called on to prosecute David Westerfield, who kidnapped and murdered 7-year-old Danielle van Dam of Sabre Springs. The case gripped the public's attention locally and nationally. The trial was broadcast live on television.
A courtroom appearance in North County just over a week ago was likely Dusek's last. It was a sentencing in a cold-case murder from 2001.
"It's time," he said, when asked why he's leaving the only law-related job he's ever held. "It's time to turn it over to some of the young folks."
Dusek, 61, was hired by the District Attorney's Office in March 1977. Before that he attended college at
"It was fun while it lasted," he said of his baseball career. "I knew I didn't have world-class talent, but I'm glad I got the chance to go as far as my talent would let me."
Dusek grew up in San Clemente and always knew he would return to California after law school. Married, with a child on the way, he spent mornings mowing greens at a North County golf course while he studied for the bar exam, and later went door to door at downtown law offices pushing his resumé.
Becoming a prosecutor proved to be a good fit. Colleagues described him as a meticulous legal mind and a dogged competitor, whose tall frame and booming voice endeared him to juries.
'Go-to' lawyer
"He was my go-to trial lawyer," said former District Attorney Paul Pfingst, who ran the office during the Westerfield trial. "Jeff brings with him a dashing figure and a personal credibility that is very persuasive with jurors."
Pfingst, now a defense attorney, went toe-to-toe with Dusek in the case of a Jamul man charged in a fatal shooting in 2006. The defendant, Joseph "Bob" Orlosky, was acquitted of murder and attempted murder in 2008 and of manslaughter and other charges in 2009.
Pfingst won that battle, but it didn't come easily.
"That was the hardest, most physically demanding trial I have ever been in," he said.
Pfingst said he's handled countless trials, as a prosecutor and as a defense lawyer, but none could begin to approach the fight he experienced in the courtroom with Dusek, whom he described as a relentless opponent who always tried to be on offense.
"In the end, it was like two boxers leaning on each other," Pfingst said.
Dusek is retiring as a chief deputy district attorney. In recent years, he has headed the cold-case homicide unit under District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis.
But his most public courtroom battle involved Westerfield, who was sentenced to the death penalty and is awaiting execution.
At the time of the trial, he said, he didn't feel the intensity of public interest in that case until it was over and a gag order barring him from discussing it publicly was lifted.
"I certainly did not fully understand how many people were watching and paying attention to this case," Dusek said.
Unexpected attention
But there were clues. He described a moment at the beach with his family when a woman snapped his photo from a distance. Later that day, a child walked up to him on the sand and asked, "Is your name Jeff?"
When the trial was over, Dusek said, people approached him nearly everywhere — on the street, in stores, on the golf course — to share their thoughts about the case. Even defendants in other cases have offered congratulations.
"Everyone wanted to talk about it," he said.
George "Woody" Clarke, a prosecutor on the Westerfield case who is now a Superior Court judge, said Dusek approached all of his cases the same way, regardless of whether they attracted media attention.
"I think Jeff truly does represent a person who is unaffected by it," Clarke said.
Looking back, Dusek, said he couldn't have found a better job.
"I wanted to come to work every single morning," he said. "I did not anticipate the weekends. Each case was different. Each case was exciting. I just loved the work."
Retirement, however, may be a more daunting prospect.
Dusek, who has two adult daughters and one grandson, said he has no specific plan going forward and doesn't quite know what to expect.
"It's scary," he said. "You can only play so much golf."

A few weeks ago QuoteSearcher posted an article discussing how the motor trade industry is growing, and that many in the industry expect for this growth to continue in 2014. We also revealed another piece of good news for motor traders, as the amount of new registrations reported in November was also on the rise, meaning that more and more people are investing in new cars.
Now, car valuation specialist Glass has published information showing the fastest selling vehicles in November, and the results may surprise a few. According to Glass's data, the fastest selling car in November 2013 was the Jeep Patriot, which only took an average of 25.6 days to sell. This was followed by the Audi A1, taking 31.4 days to sell, the Hyundai ix35 which took 31.5 days to sell and the Volkswagen Sharan which took 33.6 days to sell.
Discussing the results, chief car editor at Glass, Rupert Pontin, said: "Jeep has done exceptionally well this month – moving up from fifth position last month – a clear sign of the popularity of this car, and the fact that it is value for money and in short supply. The number of 4×4 models at the top of the league is no surprise for this time of year. In fact they have largely remained popular throughout the entire year, despite a great summer and relatively mild weather conditions for early winter.
"On the whole, this month's top ten is made up of cars from niche markets rather than run of the mill mainstream models from mass market sectors. It's a sign of the times really, there is an increasing trend for buyers to want to be different and stand out, and they are choosing cars that help them to do this. It's a pattern I think we will see more and more as we move into next year."
Those that lost out in November include some of the world's most well-known car manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Nissan. In fact, Mercedes-Benz's R-Class was the slowest selling car of November taking an average 140.4 days to sell, and the SL-Class and E-Class took an average of 79.2 and 72.5 days respectively. Pontin said: "I'm surprised to see the R-Class at the bottom of the league, it's a very competent car and until now has had a good following.
"I suspect this pattern could be a volume issue, combined with the fact it's an expensive car to run. The slow performance of the E-Class and SL-Class is also a volume issue – there are a lot of these cars in the market and even more being pushed into the new car sector. With volumes sure to increase over the next 18 months a market needs to be created or the price may need to be reduced to make it attractive."
Other slowest selling cars include the Mitsubishi ASX, the Volkswagen Golf and the MG TF, with Pontin noting: "Three convertibles is not a surprise, especially with the MG as it is unreliable and there are plenty of them around. The Golf is a surprise however, as it's an excellent all weather car and usually sells well all year round. The Mitsubishi ASX is also an unexpected visitor. Volumes are quite low and demand has been reported as quite high especially as it is a niche model. I expect this to be a blip and brief entry into the bottom 10."
So what does this all mean for car traders? Well firstly, and quite surprisingly, buyers are starting to look for more unconventional vehicles that may have a higher cost than some of the more run-of-the-mill models, meaning that traders need to adapt their offerings in order to accommodate demand. While this may increase your motor trade insurance premiums, the benefit is that you will be able to stay ahead of your competitors and attract those who are willing to invest larger amounts of money.
This new information also shows that in order to stay ahead of the game motor traders need to keep a keen eye on the markets, as what they may expect to be a fast selling vehicle could in fact be the exact opposite. It will be interesting to see Glass's results from December and January in order to compare them to November and try and decipher a pattern that motor traders can use to improve their businesses.

This book addresses nothingness as not only the untangible presence of an emotional, cultural, social, or even political void that is felt on an existential level, but has some solid foundations in reality. The death of a loved one, the social isolation of an individual, or the culture shock one may experience in another country are examples of situations in which an external sense of absence mirrors an internal psychological and philosophical sense of nothingness.
Not much has been explicitly written on nothingness in the history of psychology. On the other hand, nothingness seems to be implicitly embedded in many scholars' work. This duality of explicitly and implicitly expressed ideas about nothingness reveals how psychology finds inspiration in philosophy, and vice versa. The book aims to illustrate how the concept of the presence of absence--nothingness--fills a void in contemporary psychological theorizing.
Nothingness was a feeling I was experiencing without being able to properly explain it to people without them thinking I was a nutcase.
When I've spotted this book, I was really excited and curious about what I will learn. And I was not disappointed, as you have great informations on the philosophical, social and psychological aspects of Nothingness.
It is an impressive work of thoughts that lead you to reflect on different aspects of your life and society.
After each chapters, you also have a bibliography with all the references. A great help if you want to know more about a subject.
Probably not a read for the beach but a very good one to give some food to your brain.
I've really enjoyed it!
"Nothingness, is not simply « nothing », it is the presence of the absence."

"All of the representatives we've had the pleasure of working with have been courteous and helpful. Most recently, Stacey Newman has been a huge help and has gotten back to me quickly and taken care of requests . We've appreciated working with her."
Linda, Business Insurance Client
Here is a recent letter sent to our Chairman, John O'Shea, by one of Bobbi Whiteford & Karen Lockrow's clients...
"I am writing today to recount a very critical and nerve racking matter I had recently with Hartford Insurance. My company has been a client of Marshall & Sterling for nearly ten years and in all that time I have always been very satisfied with the service and dedication of everyone I have encountered. However, my most recent experience with my agent has compelled me to write to you today. The details are rather unimportant but let me once again assure you that this occurrence was a deeply harrowing experience for my 24 year old small business.
In short, there was an issue about the coverage of a very large loss. Right away Bobbi Whiteford reassured me that she had the necessary documentation, and together with Karen Lockrow proceeded with an extremely dedicated and professional approach. The level of documentation of emails and other correspondence - some going back almost 24 months - clearly was, in the end what lead to a favorable conclusion for my company.
I really cannot find the words appropriate to express my sincere gratitude for dealing with such professionals as Bobbi and Karen."
I asked Erin Vincent for a quote for my liability service and less then 24 hrs she had one for me for exactly what I needed. Excelent service.
Jennifer Labuff
One client recently worked closely with Erin Vincent for their Commercial Business Policy and said...
"She was extremely helpful and went the extra step to help us get full coverage at a very good price. The lady at the front desk, along with other members in the Leeds office were also extremely friendly when passing by them.
Very nice atmosphere. Keep up the good work for your clients and they will stay with you."
"As a result of a call from UE last week regarding CGL endorsement claims and billing, I was left with more questions than the UE caller had answers to. I called Karen Lockrow this morning regarding how to identify which claims come under the CGL endorsement. (UE's concern was our payments to Scott Ely rather than UE paying Scott directly, after payment from us, for these types of claims.) Karen took the time to review and answer all my questions, identified our CGL claims, and together we will cross check our weekly reports when I forward them to her for CGL claims. Karen's knowledge of claims/policies/procedures is outstanding and I was left with a better understanding of our role in identifying claims and how our payments will be directed. It was a pleasure talking with Karen!"

"On behalf of the Health & Safety Subcommittee of the Nassau Community College Campus Services Committee, I would like to say, 'Thank you SO much!' You both did a great job. I like the way you interacted together to co-present the workshop. Your presentation was informative and attention-getting. It was filled with just enough statistics and just enough sad stories to influence the minds and tear at the hearts of those watching it and hearing it. Most importantly, you both came across as people who cared about others. And, your company's image was portrayed positively -- as a helpful and efficient organization that continually gives back to people and communities.
At my departmental meeting on Wednesday, I shared the highlights of your presentation with other faculty members. I mentioned that I had many leftover handouts and I did get several requests for them. So, as a result, many more students will be getting this important information as well. I will also be sending them the link to your Power Point presentation that you sent me. (Thanks for that.) I will forward it to the members of the Campus Services Committee as well.
You both went above and beyond once again. It was so generous for you to drive that huge distance for us (two years in a row). I look forward to our continued association and intend to keep in touch.
With much appreciation,

"I just want to say THANK YOU! I am really enjoying MyWave and wish I had utilized it sooner. I had to do some FMLA paperwork this morning. I decided to "test" MyWave HR to see if FMLA info was available and/or helpful and boy was I happy to find everything I could possibly need regarding FMLA. Not only did I find the forms I needed, they were converted to MS Word so I just had to type in the information, save and then print them. I also enjoyed the many different FAQ's that answered all questions I had about FMLA. I've learned new and important information regarding FMLA this morning because of MyWave HR. So thank you for MyWave and for making my morning easier!"

"Just wanted to say how easy it was to take the Marshall & Sterling Online Defensive Driving Course. It did take 6 hours which I did in 3 nights, but I was able to do it in the comfort of my own home on my laptop. The course was almost half the price of going somewhere to take it, also there was no test at the end and within about 3 days I had the Certificate in the mail. I'm very glad I took it, and now can save money on my Car Insurance!"

"At the beginning of 2013 the Town of Queensbury Animal Control Department had initiated a project geared to Kindergarten Students at Queensbury School entitled Dog Bite Prevention. In the summer of 2012, the Town experienced a total of twelve dog bite cases in just one week - all children were under the age of twelve. We approached our insurance broker, Marshall &Sterling and with the assistance of Lorraine Emerick, Vice President, we developed a program for the Queensbury Elementary School. On May 24th and 28th 2013, Animal Control Officer James Fitzgerald and his Service Dog Maya, along with Ms. Tammie Landers (Secretary), Darleen Dougher (Town Clerk) and Lorraine Emerick of Marshall & Sterling, we presented a program to over three hundred Kindergarten Students. This program was greatly enhanced through the generous donations by Marshall and Sterling, which included coloring books, stickers and a power point they developed on Dog Bite Prevention.
This program was a very positive experience for these students and it is our sincere hope that the number of dog bites will be greatly reduce because of this highly received program. The Town of Queensbury Animal Control Department wish to extend their gratitude for all the support and encouragement that Lorraine Emerick and Marshall & Sterling gave to us and our citizens, big and small, of the Town of Queensbury.
