Things to Know Prior To Your Visit to our Spring Valley Dog Boarding Facility
Personal Items
We have all the items that your pet will need during their stay. We only accept bedding blankets and toys which are all cleaned the night before and put in their dog's bin for checkout in the morning. We do not accept water bowls. We clean water bowls at least 2 times a day and would hate for your bowl to get lost in the mix of our many daily guests.
We have treats already available at the hotel. However, if your pet has a specific treat that they like, even better!
Dog Food
We recommend that each guest bring their own food so that we can avoid tummy aches, allergies, and a sticky mess.
Potty Breaks
We rotate all of our dog guests outside to a potty area with pet grass every hour and a half by family so they have privacy. Of course if they happen to go in their room or within the play area, our attentive staff are quick to clean it up so that other pets don't play with it or get dirty. Did we mention that all guests receive a complimentary bath before checkout?
Dinner is served at 5pm typically and TVs with doggy favorites are turned on at 7pm right before bedtime so that they can relax and let the day's adventures and fun sink in.

If your dog requires vaccinations, we will take their dog to West Charleston Animal Hospital to get the required shots. A fee of $75.00 plus the cost of shots will be billed for during their first day of staying at LV Dog Resort.
Can I bring my dogs toys or water bowl?

We only accept bedding blankets and toys which are all cleaned the night before and put in their dog's bin for checkout in the morning. We do not accept water bowls. We clean water bowls at least 2 times a day and would hate for your bowl to get lost in the mix of our many daily guests.
What if my dog doesn't like to play with other dogs?
Not a problem. They will get private free play before bed time in the outdoor/indoor parks with staff so that they can still spend energy and get restful and relaxing sleep.
How will I know that my dog is enjoying him or herself?
We know that the first few times that dogs stay with us, they can be a little anxious. Who can blame them? They miss the most special person in the world to them. We will help you take your trip with ease by sending email & text updates with pictures of your treasured pet.
Do you charge extra for my dog if they are intact?
We do not believe that dogs should be charged more for not being spayed or neutered. However, please keep in mind that for the safety of our other guests, we might need to make other accommodations when it comes to their boarding experience with us.What if my dog is in heat. Will I have to pay more?
Surprisingly no. Most places either won't accept your dog if she is in heat or charge extra. We welcome all dogs! However, please keep in mind that due to the boys getting riled up, your dog will be kept separated for the well-being of our other dogs. She will of course still be given play time with one of our loving staff members.How much does it cost?
It can depend on what type of amenities you want your dog to enjoy. Of course your dog is your loyal companion so you might decide to give him the all-start treatment for the week.Can you pick up my pet from my home?
Absolutely! We use a 3rd party provider that is licensed and insured. Call us at (702) 958-8293 for more details.When, what and where will my pet have breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
We typically take your dog to their suite so that they can eat in peace. During the orientation, we will ask you what time your pet typically eats (to keep their schedule) and will ask that you bring food from home (so that they don't get sick from eating a new type of food).Can I visit my dog during their stay?
We try to limit visitations to a minimum due to security and liability reasons. We also find that your pets have more fun when they get to have uninterrupted time with their new friends. We WILL however, send you updates (pictures/text messages) so you can be at ease while you enjoy your time away from your furry friends.Is there a minimum amount of time that my pet has to stay?
No. We offer our services for overnight stays or for prolonged periods of time. If you are out of town for a week or longer, we would love to have your dog(s) as a guest. Be sure to check out our special pricing for prepaid customers.What if my dog has trouble falling asleep at night? I'd feel awful if he stayed up all night missing me!
If they still haven't fully gotten tired from running around all day with their friends, our alert staff that is on duty 24/7 365 days a year make frequent walk throughs of the hotel to make sure that each pet is safe and sound. If they notice that your pet is having a hard time falling asleep, showing signs of stress or just missing his owner, staff will bring them out to play so that they feel less stressed and get a little more tired. A rested dog is a happy dog 🙂Is there an extra charge for giving medication to my dog while they are staying with you?
Never! Unlike most other boarding facilities in town, we never charge extra for the essentials. If your pet needs their medication so that they are healthy and happy, we are more than glad to help out with their medication.

Dana Zemack has been making stick figure comics since she was 12. This week, she made one just for us.
It's great to have a robot friend in case you don't want to be near people but still want a friend. But what if you get hungry? It's a real problem. With that in mind, this week I was very happy to learn that robots can now not only be our friends, but can make us sandwiches at the same time. I predict that soon enough, they'll also be able to eat them with us, and robot picnics will ensue.
Watch robots James and Rosie make us lunch here.

ZEISS eMobility Solutions features a selection of products from the ZEISS portfolio, providing
unique holistic quality inspection solutions for all components of the E-Mobility: Battery,
Power Electronics, E-Motor and Transmission – From energy to eMotion.
A wide range of imaging, analytic and metrology tools are needed to enable battery research and quality control of batteries. ZEISS
produces light, electron, x-ray-microscopy and computer tomography (CT) systems, as well as coordinate measurement machines to assess and correlate structural, compositional, electrical and dimensional characteristics across the relevant lengths scales. ZEISS thus helps to provide the relevant data to enable battery safety and performance for new energy vehicles.
Power Electronics
Power electronics is the energy hub of every battery-electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicle, as it controls the flow of power between the battery and the electric motor. To make electronic components more efficient and reliable, it's essential to control the quality of semiconductors, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and finished modules across different length scales.
Electric Motor
Electric motors are true powerhouses – compact and light, but still capable of high speeds and enormous torques, even at slow speeds. All components need to fit together precisely for these motors to generate so much power with such little wear. One challenge posed by the latest generation of motors involves the precise production and assembly of the hairpins and stator, as well as the manufacture of the stacks in the stator and rotor. ZEISS produces tactile and optical measuring devices to cover every aspect of the quality management process, and even helps electric motor manufacturers set up their inspection chains.
Electric vehicles have very different powertrains – with either a singlespeed or two-speed transmission instead of up to nine gears found in combustion engines. The engine and transmission share a housing – reducing the number of components and weight, but not the quality requirements. A number of measuring and inspection steps are needed to ensure top performance, low wear and tear, and quiet operation. ZEISS produces all of these measurement tools, and consults with manufacturers to design ideal quality assurance systems.
Identification of specific quality demands and subsequent needs.
ZEISS team customizes perfect fitting solution.

Wheeler hoping to land permanent spot on roster
Versatile left-handed hitter impressing Rockies manager Weiss
MIAMI - Ryan Wheeler has proven that he can play at the Triple-A level, but he has not had too many opportunities to take the next step.
He's hoping that the clutch hit he delivered Friday night for the Rockies will help propel him to a permanent spot on the big league roster. Wheeler's two-out double that scored Michael Cuddyer lifted the Rockies to a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against the Marlins. It was Wheeler's first RBI for Colorado in his eighth game with the club.
"It felt good, especially [after] the previous two games we lost [in Philadelphia]," Wheeler said before Saturday's game. "It just felt good to be on the opposite side of a comeback win. And obviously to get a hit late in the game with a guy on third, that's the goal every day. It felt good just to help the team win. We've been kind of struggling lately."
Wheeler, who was with the D-backs last season before being acquired by the Rockies in the offseason, was having an outstanding season at Triple-A Colorado Springs before his most recent callup this week, the second time he's been promoted to fill a roster spot. The 24-year-old corner infielder's stats at Colorado Springs -- .308 BA, 10 HR, 81 RBIs, 29 doubles in 110 games -- earned him the callup.
"He's had a heck of a year in Triple-A," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Wheeler, who has had only 14 at-bats with the big club. "He hasn't had that many at-bats up here for us, but that was a huge hit [Friday night]. He's a good corner player. We can put him left field, third base, first base, and he can swing the bat."
Wheeler, who played at Triple-A Reno most of last season while in the Arizona organization, was not in the starting lineup Saturday, but he was available to pinch-hit.
"I'm confident that I'm on the radar here," he said. "It's just good opportunities haven't come [often], but they've given me opportunities when they do come."
Wheeler started at first base Friday to give Todd Helton a night off. Wheeler said he's trying to learn as much as possible by watching Helton in case the opportunity for him to play that position more often is on the horizon.
"I think Todd has earned the right to play as long as he wants to play, but if he does retire next year, I think it could be a great opportunity," Wheeler said. "I know there's some other good guys behind me right now in Double-A and Triple-A, and right now I'm fighting for that job. I'm fighting to stay on the team, so right now I just want to get the big hit every night, and I'm not worried about next year right now."

|With Sew Sara (who also matched my quilt), roomies Rachel and Amanda, Andrea & Melissa, and cute Jeni.
Even if you can't go to a Conference, find like-minded friends close by. This is a group of the local friends I've come to know through online social media who have become wonderful real-life friends. I feel immensely grateful for each one of them, as well as for others who are not pictured. (The Sewing Summit is held in Utah, so there is a high proportion of Utah folks able to attend.)
Abundance. This was my favorite thought and emotion of the weekend. There is truly enough creativity, opportunity, and friendship for everyone to have an abundant portion. I think we are often so prone to competing and comparing to the point that we see people tear others down thinking they'll get more, and indirectly destroy their own opportunities and creativity. The greatest thing I took away from this was an appreciation for the people that came who contributed to that feeling of encouragement, celebration, and support. I stood on my chair and snapped this picture right after Heather Bailey's speech because I wanted to capture a little bit of that feeling that was so palpable in the room.
Thank you so much to all to came and contributed to that feeling. And to those who couldn't come this time, keep connecting! There are so many opportunities now to find "your people" both online and in your real live community. It's totally worth the effort.
And now, after 2 sewing conferences in 2 weeks, I am totally pooped and content to be a homebody for a long time. I missed my family (and my fabric.)

First lady Barbara Bush has low-key 89th birthday
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — Former first lady Barbara Bush is having a low-key 89th birthday celebration in Maine.
A family spokesman says the wife of former President George H.W. Bush is having a private dinner Sunday with relatives in Kennebunkport, where the family has a summer home.
There'll be another celebration later in the week. The former president turns 90 on Thursday.
George H.W. Bush went skydiving on his 85th birthday and vowed he would do it again on his 90th.
But it doesn't appear that will be the case.
His spokesman says Bush plans to have dinner with family and others. He now uses a wheelchair.

Morrow Junior Books, 1997 - 48 pagine
Betrayed by his own father, the infant son of a lowly miller narrowly escapes death and is lovingly adopted by a faithful she-bear. Raised on her nourishing milk, the boy becomes the strongest man in the land - and the only one brave enough to battle the kingdom's bloodthirsty three-headed dragon. Yet it is wit, not just courage and might, that the hero must employ to win his true desire; the delicate hand of a princess already betrothed to another. Nothing could be more delicious than the marvelous quest that ensues - a tale of romantic valor, stolen glory, and sweet justice. Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman has created a pictorial drama that is alive with good humor and splendid characters as forever memorable as Howard Pyle's timeless story. Here is a winning revival from the classic book The Wonder Clock that will surely be savored again and again.

How-To ID A 289 High Performance Engine
We Look Inside Art Cairo's Pre-Production '64 1/2 289 High Performance To See What Made The High-Winding Small-Block So Special
For 43 years, the 289 High Performance small-block has been more myth than fact. It probably gets more credit with enthusiasts than it deserves due to rarity more than anything. What makes it "high-performance" isn't unusual or rare. What Ford did to the 289 isn't any more out of the ordinary than good, old-fashioned, hot-rodding trickery.
The 289 High Performance is a warmed-up 289 with a hotter solid-lifter camshaft, cylinder heads and a dual-point ignition designed for higher revs, cast-iron header exhaust manifolds, and a wider harmonic balancer.
So what's the big deal? Not much, unless you're restoring a K-engine-code '65-'67 Mustang or are interested in building an authentic 289 Hi-Po small-block for your non-K-code Mustang. What makes the Hi-Po a big deal is authenticity when building a K-code Mustang with the real thing between the shock towers.
We're going to teach you the basics of the 289 High Performance with quick facts you can use in your engine building and Mustang spotting. Based on what we know about the Hi-Po, you can build a homegrown Hi-Po engine without spending a fortune in elusive castings and pieces. You can achieve the clatter of 16 mechanical tappets and the throaty tailpipe sound with the right camshaft and exhaust tuning. And, you can generate more horsepower and torque without suffering with driveability issues.
The BlockAlthough the 289 High Performance block has a unique part number, it was not a unique block. The only difference was its wider main bearing caps. According to the 289 High Performance Mustang book by Tony Gregory, the 289 2V and 4V engines have 151/416-inch main caps that taper to 51/48 inch at the top. The Hi-Po caps are 151/416 inch from top to bottom.

Some, but not all, early 289 High Performance blocks had screw-in oil gallery plugs. Despite urban legend, 289 High Performance blocks never had screw-in freeze plugs either. Those were reserved for the '69-'70 Boss 302 blocks only.
Factory-installed 289 High Performance engines had the vehicle serial number stamped into the righthand side of the block near the battery's negative-cable attachment point.
Bottom EndHere again is where fact blows fiction right out of the water. Ford never built a production 289 High Performance V-8 with a steel crankshaft. The Hi-Po has the same 1M cast-iron crankshaft as the 289-2V/4V engine. However, Hi-Po cranks were handpicked and Brinnel-tested for strength.
The 289 High Performance was fitted with the same basic C3AE connecting-rod forgings as the 2V/4V engines. Where they differ is the larger 31/48-inch bolts, compared to 51/416-inch bolts in the standard engines. This is a cool modification you can do on any 289 or 302 connecting rod to improve strength. The downside is, there is less steel around the 31/48-inch bolts, which weakens the rod to some degree. The best compromise is 51/416-inch ARP bolts, which are stronger and don't affect rod strength.
Production 289 High Performance engines were fitted with cast pistons that were good for 6,000 rpm. Forty years ago, forged pistons weren't all that common, and they certainly weren't conventional in production engines due to cost and technology. At the time, forged pistons were available from the aftermarket.
Although most of the Hi-Po bottom end is shared with the 2V/4V engines, two items aren't: the harmonic balancer and slide-on counterweight. They're there for an important purpose: balance. The 289 Hi-Po has 3/8-inch connecting-rod bolts, which adds weight to the reciprocating mass (piston and rod assembly). This called for a wider harmonic balancer and the added counterweighting from the slide-on counterweight.
CamshaftThe 289 High Performance V-8's personality comes from an aggressive mechanical flat-tappet camshaft that does its best work at high revs. Peak horsepower and torque come in around 6,000 rpm. For a flat-tappet camshaft you can use on the street, the C3OZ-6250-C factory bumpstick is aggressive, with .460/.460-inch valve lift and 310/310-degrees of duration. Lift at the lobe is .298/.298 inch. Raw torque and horsepower come on strong in the high revs.
Fuel PumpAll small-block Fords of the period were fitted with Carter fuel pumps. From 1964 to 1965, it was a screw-together Carter pump with the fuel filter. From 1966 to 1967, Ford used a sealed Carter pump without the filter canister. The Hi-Po engine differs in volume: It delivers more fuel than its 2V/4V counterparts.
Clutch & FlywheelAs you might expect, the Hi-Po employed more heavy-duty driveline components. Manual transmission applications had two basic types of Borg & Beck, three-finger clutches that measured 10.4 inches in diameter. Much of it had to do with spring pressure. Because early Hi-Pos struggled with clutch slippage under hard acceleration, Ford went to a stiffer clutch for 1967.
Classic Mustangs have always suffered with clutch-release bearing and linkage woes because the old-fashioned three-finger clutch yields great pressure on the release bearing and linkage. No matter what you do with the bellcrank clutch linkage, it will not stand up well to Borg & Beck clutch stress. You can count on failure at some point in clutch service life.
Today, the Hi-Po solution is the installation of a Centerforce Dual-Friction clutch and flywheel package to improve driveability and performance. The Centerforce clutch offers light clutch-pedal effort because it's a diaphragm-style. It gets even better with the flyweights on the diaphragm fingers. As engine revs increase, the flyweights place more pressure on the fingers and disc, eliminating slippage. This is a terrific design that offers the best of all worlds.
Cylinder HeadsOur greatest fascination with the 289 Hi-Po is likely its unique cylinder heads. Urban legend has always given the Hi-Po head larger ports and valves than other small-block Fords, which has never been true. Valvespring pockets for stability and screw-in rocker-arm studs for dependability make the Hi-Po head unique, because the more common press-in studs tend to pull out with aggressive camshafts and high revs. Outside of these factory modifications, the Hi-Po heads are virtually the same as the 2V/4V heads. Spotting a 19, 20, or 21 cavity number in the corners of the castings outside of the valve-cover areas on the exhaust side quickly identifies Hi-Po heads.
Enter text here.These heads were fitted with stiffer valvesprings for obvious reasons: to reliably slap the valves closed at high revs. Spring pressure was approximately 350 pounds on the Hi-Po heads. Smaller damper springs were also used.
Look for casting numbers C3OE, C4OE-B, C5OE-A, C5AE-E, C7ZE (service head), and C8ZE-B (also a service head). The C8ZE-B service head does not have the two-digit cavity number mentioned earlier.
What If Your Hi-Po Block Is Toast?What happens if you're restoring a K-code Mustang and have a block that's .040-inch over or damaged from engine failure? You have two options: have the block sleeved at approximately $100 a cylinder or search for a C4OE or C5AE block casting with a standard bore (challenging to find today) and transfer your Hi-Po main caps to the fresh block. To use the Hi-Po main caps on the fresh block, have the block and caps line-bored and honed for a perfect match. Mexican Ford blocks also have the wider Hi-Po-style main caps if you need wider main caps. Mexican blocks can be identified by an M in the fourth position in the casting number.
Because 289 High Performance blocks were stamped with the vehicle serial number, you'll need to stamp this number into the replacement block using the same type Ford used.
Ignition SystemBecause the 289 Hi-Po is a high-revving engine, good coil saturation and a reliable spark were required. This is why the Hi-Po was equipped from the factory with a dual-point ignition. Not only does the Hi-Po distributor have dual breaker points, they aren't the same points found in single-point distributors. They're Autolite dual-point specific, with stiffer breaker arms for smoother operation at high revs. What makes the Autolite dual-point even more unique is the absence of a vacuum advance unit. Only a centrifugal advance is involved, which comes on as engine revs increase.
Six Hi-Po distributor part numbers were involved from 1963 to 1967: C3OF-D, C3OF-F, C4ZF-D, C5OF-E, C7ZF-J, and C7OF-K. All employ the same basic advance curve and breaker dwell settings. Ford opted for cooler-heat-range spark plugs for the Hi-Po. Where the 289-2V/4V had the Autolite BF42, the Hi-Po had BF-32s.
CarburetorThe 289-4V engines were fitted with a 480-cfm 4100 carburetor with an automatic choke; the Hi-Po got a 600-cfm carburetor with a manual choke. Carburetor identification is simple: just look at the bore sizing and the carburetor tag (if equipped). The 480-cfm Autolite 4100 has 1.08 venturis and 171/416-inch bores. The larger 600-cfm 4100 has 1.12-inch venturis with 191/416-inch bores. What makes the Hi-Po's 600-cfm 4100 unique is the absence of a hot-idle compensator and an automatic choke. These items were common with big-block applications.
There are eight different Ford part numbers for 289 Hi-Po carburetors. Five were for manual transmissions (no kick-down linkage). Two were for automatic-transmission applications. They became more specific mostly in jet sizing, which hinged on where they were delivered new. High-elevation deliveries received different jetting than low-elevation.
Alternator/GeneratorThe 289 Hi-Po alternator ('65-'67) and generator ('6411/42 only) have a larger drive pulley to keep the revs down at high revs. This keeps the alternator/generator windings from exploding at high revs. Art Cairo's unusual '6411/42 hardtop, which was used for our photography, was fitted with an early Lincoln-style Autolite 35-amp alternator, which is likely the only '6411/42 ever assembled with an alternator charging system.
Exhaust ManifoldsAnother obvious difference with the 289 Hi-Po is the factory cast-iron exhaust headers. Designed to improve exhaust scavenging, much like the late-model 5.0L High Output Mustangs did with shorty tubular headers, the cast-iron headers don't claim to work as well as long-tube aftermarket headers. But, it's better than the standard 289-2V/4V log-style exhaust manifolds. The part numbers are C3OE-9431-B (driver side, '64-'65), C4ZE-9430-A (passenger side, '64-'65), C7ZE-9431-A (driver side, '67 only), and C7ZE-9430-A (passenger side, '67 only).
Hi-Po MythsEver since the 289 High Performance V-8 was introduced in the '63 Fairlane, urban legend has abounded with this engine. Let's look at those myths and set the record straight.
Myth 1: The 289 High Performance V-8 has forged pistons.
False: From the factory, the 289 Hi-Po had the same C3OZ-6108-L cast flat-top pistons found in the 225-horse 289-4V engine. Performance improvement kits were available from Ford and the aftermarket with better pistons.
Myth 2: It has special connecting rods.
False: It has the same C3AE forging as the 289-2V/4V engines. However, this forging in the Hi-Po is fitted with larger 31/48-inch rod bolts, not 51/416-inch bolts found in the 289-2V/4V engines. The rod is machined to make way for the larger bolt head and shank.
Myth 3: It has a dual-roller timing set.
False: It has a standard timing set that's narrower than the timing set in stock 289-2V/4V engines. It's narrower to make way for the slide-on counterweight that goes on the crank first.
Myth 4: It has larger valves and ports.
False: The 289 High Performance head has exactly the same size valves and ports as the 289-2V/4V head castings. Not even the '67 service head, once rumored to have larger ports, is any different.
Myth 5: It has a special intake manifold.
False: Hate to burst your bubble, but the Hi-Po has the same 4V intake manifold as the 225-horse 289-4V engine.
Myth 6: It has a steel crankshaft.
False: Not a single 289 High Performance V-8 was ever equipped from the factory with a steel crankshaft. The only Ford small-block ever factory-fitted with a steel crank was the '69-'70 Boss 302. The Hi-Po has a 1M cast crank just like the 2V/4V engines.
Myth 7: The 289 Hi-Po has a deeper, high-capacity oil pan.
False: It's the same steel five-quart pan as the 289-2V/4V.
Myth 8: Some 289 High Performance V-8s were fitted with factory air conditioning.
False: The 289 High Performance V-8 was never available with factory-installed air conditioning.
Myth 9: Some 289 High Performance V-8s were fitted with the Thermactor California emissions system (air pump).
False: Not one of them was ever fitted with the Thermactor air-pump emissions system.
Myth 10: Some 289 Hi-Po blocks have screw-in freeze plugs.
False: None was ever factory equipped.
Oiling System SecurityThe 289 High Performance engine was fitted with the same type of oil pump, pickup, and pan found with the 2V/4V engines. When you rebuild the Hi-Po, opt for a high-volume oil pump for improved lubrication at high revs. Install a new pickup as well.
Although it is rumored all 289 High Performance engines had screw-in oil-gallery plugs, not all of them did. When you find press-in plugs, replace them with screw-in plugs when the block is being machined. Make sure your machine shop does a thorough job of cleaning the block and all of the passages afterward.
Two Great Hi-Po BooksWe recommend two terrific sources for 289 High Performance engine information. Mustang & Ford Small-Block V8-1962-'69 by Robert Mannel, published by RPM Press, is the best book we've ever seen on the small-block Ford. We're talking hundreds of pages of photos, text, and details on all '62-'69 221/260/289/302/351W small-block V-8s, including the '63-'67 289 High Performance. For more information, contact RPM Press, Dept. MM, 340 Clicktown Rd., Church Hill, TN 37642; e-mail email@example.com.
Another good book is The 289 High Performance Mustang by Tony Gregory, available from Marv's Mustangs, Dept. MM, 12600 Leatherwood Ct., Raleigh, NC 27613; 919/848-6786; www.hipomustang.com. It has plenty of information related to 289 High Performance Mustangs. Register your '65-'67 289 High Performance Mustang while you're at it.

ROCKFORD - If you're going to play defending champion and current Western Conference-leading Grand Rapids, now makes sense.
The Griffins came in with their first back-to-back regulation losses, and that might be attributed in part to having had six players recently recalled by the Detroit Red Wings.
The Rockford IceHogs entered Friday night's game with their own troubles, though, and those were prolonged and magnified in a 4-2 loss before a BMO Harris Bank Center crowd of 4,105.
"We played well enough to win this game," said 'Hogs defenseman Jared Nightingale. "Unfortunately, we had a bad break at the end."
The Griffins took advantage of a late penalty to notch the only power-play score of the evening. The 'Hogs are winless in their last five (0-4-0-1) and dropped to 15-15-3-0. Their struggles largely have been offensive related, as they have totaled eight goals in those five outings.
The frustration was evident when only two out of 42 shots on net eluded goalie Tom McCollum.
"Our power play is God awful right now," said Rockford head coach Ted Dent, whose team went 0-for-6 Friday. "Our (last-ranked) penalty kill is God awful and we can't keep the puck out of our net."
The 'Hogs overcame a 2-1 deficit after two periods to tie it on Brandon Pirri's second score of the season at 5:27. But Grand Rapids got the game-winner on a power play by Calle Jarnkrok at 15:58. Cory Emmerton added an empty-netter at 19:27.
"They're in our division, and we keep giving them two points and that can't happen," said Pirri, who generated eight shots on goal. "We have to play better and put together a full 60 (minutes)."
After a scoreless first, Emmerton beat goalie Mac Carruth in close at 1:06 of the second. Nightengale's first tally of the season at 12:47 tied it temporarily, assists going to Joakim Nordstrom and Brandon Mashinter. Mitch Callahan's goal from the top of the right circle after a turnover at 16:20 made it 2-1.
You don't want to trail the Griffins (22-7-1-1) going to the third - they're 17-0-0-1 leading after 40 minutes. They are 5-0-0-1 against Rockford this season.
Notes: This is the only weekend all season during which Rockford does not play on either Saturday or Sunday. It is home to Charlotte at 7 p.m. Monday. . Rockford is 9-5-0-0 at home this season, and 11-4-0-1 against Grand Rapids at home over the past five seasons. . Friday's game opened the first of two season-long, four-game homestands this season.

It may have been 10 years since Mean Girls entered our hearts forever (can you believe it?!), but the movie continues to be a topic of discussion.
Such was the case when Allure magazine conducted an interview with their fresh-faced cover star for their August issue, Rachel McAdams, who played the obnoxious but amazing Regina George in the film and was also the center of rumors surrounded what it was like on set.
Apparently, reports claimed LiLo was intimidated by McAdams while shooting the iconic film—but The Notebook star found that kind of funny seeing how she was the one "in awe."
"If anything, I was in awe of her talent," McAdams told the mag. "I looked at her as this experienced actor, and she had great comedic timing, so natural. It's just funny to hear that because you never know what people are thinking. We all try to act like we've got it together."
And how can we forget the star's big screen debut in The Hot Chick? "I remember standing backstage, dressed like a mechanic. I had a pink bikini on underneath, grease on my face, and I just remember breathing deep and thinking, 'Oh, my God, I have to go out there and do this striptease, as a man…as a woman. How did I get here?' It was probably one of the scariest moments I've had in my career. It stretched me in ways I could have never imagined. Literally."
But that seems the be exactly the way McAdams sees her career pan out (not the striptease roles, but the more interesting aspects of it). "I'm hoping it's going to be complicated and have lots of dead ends and corners and sharp turns. I hope it can't be summed up too easily when I'm done," she says

This is a really interesting idea - I had wondered if this went on, but had never bothered to really look online to see if anyone was doing it on an official level. Thanks, Nora.
Permanent Home Swap: Solution to a Volatile Real Estate Market
Let's say the real estate markets are down (which happens from time to time, as we all know). You want or need to sell your home, but buyers won't pay what it is worth (or even enough to leave you with a zero balance). And if you have already purchased your new home, you may have to insist on a sale price that the market won't bear, or settle for a sale price that leaves you further in the red. There is an alternative…a Permanent Home Swap.
Some people prefer (or are required due to circumstance) to buy a new home before selling their existing one, and there is considerable risk in doing this during a volatile real estate market. Buying the new place for a price you are willing to pay based on your estimated sale price could leave you holding the ball when you realize that the market won't bear the sale price you need in order to afford your new place.
And if you are required to move (for a new job, for example), the stress of buying and selling can be monumental.
A Home Swap allows you to circumvent a volatile real estate market by (literally) swapping homes with another home owner in the same boat as you.
Home Swap Basics
Although the term "home swap" also applies to those who swap homes temporarily for vacation purposes, this article refers to the Permanent Home Swap concept.
Under a Permanent Home Swap arrangement (also referred to as a Simultaneous Sale), a homeowner will buy another's home and sell their own to the same person simultaneously. The criteria include:
- The closing date must be identical for both homes.
- The same title company must be used to consummate the transactions together.
- Purchase and sale agreements for each property are drawn up, as usual.
- Deeds and other closing documents are signed on the same day.
- Mortgages for both properties are paid off on the same day, and new mortgages are taken out.
- The old mortgages switch to the new ones on the closing date, just as in the case of a normal sale. The only difference is that the seller and buyer are the same people.
- The cost of a Permanent Home Swap is about the same as any other real estate transaction, since it is still technically the sale and purchase of a property.
- Your respective homes do not have to be of the same value or stature. Some people may want to downsize or move to a less expensive location, while others may want the opposite. The trick is to find somebody who wants what you have, and whose place is what you want.
Benefits of a Home Swap
- Value Preservation: In a bad real estate market, you don't have to liquidate your house at a loss in order to move.
- There are no tricky closing periods to navigate, with possible additional expenses of finding and moving into a temporary place between the sale of your place and the closing date of your new place.
- You don't have to worry about double mortgages if you end up owning both homes simultaneously (another closing date risk).
- You never get stuck owning two places if you cannot sell yours at all after buying your new place.
Potential Pitfalls of a Home Swap
In order to find your potential home swap candidate, you may wish to subscribe to a service. Beware of the requirement to pay a monthly fee to list your property, as they will have no vested interest in helping you find a home swap partner since the longer you list your place, the more money they will make. Instead, search for a flat fee or even better, a fee that is payable only upon finding a suitable home swap candidate.
Also be cautious of any promises or guarantees that your home will sell, especially within a certain time frame. As you can imagine, locating a buyer who wants your home and whose home you want can take time.
Advice for Home Swap Candidates
Permanent Home Swaps are real estate transactions like any other, so the standard rules of operation apply:
- Visit the property.
- Hire an inspector.
- Be prepared to negotiate the purchase price.
- Consult a real estate lawyer (especially in the case of a Home Swap, as the regulations in each area or country can be different).
Where to get More Information and/or List Your Home
Although you can list your place for free on Pad4Pad, the one-time $20 listing fee will allow you full access to the site including the ability to search for other places and suggest swaps.
With Online House Trading, you don't pay any fees until you find a house match that looks promising. Then, you will pay under $30 to use the Site's full features.
And last but not least Craigslist has home swaps as well.
In researching for this article, I was unable to locate anybody who has done a Permanent Home Swap recently. Do any of our readers have experience with Permanent Home Swaps that they would like to share with us?

"Considering most people prefer to buy a new home before selling their existing one..."
Really?! Since Wisebread is for the discriminating consumer, I would hope that "most people" reading this blog would be in the opposite camp. They would "never get stuck owning two places" from the outset.
I've consistently sold houses BEFORE buying another, and would never buy a home without at least a condition that my current one sold. Period.
It's puzzling that anyone would buy a new house before selling the old one. That sets you up for the very real possibility of owning two houses, and paying two mortgages, at the same time.
It's far harder to sell a house in a bad market than it is to buy one, for all the same reasons. The typical argument is "I don't want to make a "double move"--but isn't that so much better than carrying a double house payment? A double move is a temporary problem, and one you have some control over. I've seen people go a year or more carrying two house payments! That's serious money.
Don't even put a contract in on a house until you sell the one you have. Put your stuff in storage, move into an extended stay hotel, close the deal, then put a contract in on the new one.
If you can find somebody who needs to move where you are, and you need to be where they are... don't sell.
You can just rent from each other.
This strategy is suggested by Anita Bell (an australian finance writer), as a means to get into the housing market. There are considerable tax benefits to paying a rental mortgage over a home mortgage.
The downside to this method, is that it requires a certain amount of trust. But on the other hand, if they trash your house, you have the keys to theirs...
Great points about selling yours before buying. Here are some still real scenarios that can happen though:
A) You sell your place conditionally, then buy the new place, and your conditional sale falls through. Naysayers of buying before selling would probably still consider this risky though; maybe the sale should be firm first.
B) If you need to buy in a different area where there isn't a lot of movement in the market, it may be tempting to take advantage of a home on the market, especially if historically the homes in your own neighborhood sell quickly. Again: risky, but people do it. Circumstance can dictate some different or uncharacteristic decisions.
@kazari - Great idea! I've heard of rental mortgages, but not in the form of a home swap. Has anybody done this (or does anybody know someone who has done this)?

Lol I assure you that this is ludacris. I have 90m gold saved up, my peak being 150m. This guide will have you in trouble on getting your heroes lved if you listen to this guy. Simple way to make gold is to juSt beat hard crusade 15/15 always have your highest lved hero/heroes in merc specially one your guild mates needs the most. If you're good on exp pots like me which I reach cap on meat cheese and pot on a daily basis, go to booty cave and dig for gold instead of pots and do 3 hour digs instead of 10. You get attacked less.

50k for selling xp stuff sounds good, especially since the skills cost 200k from 101 to 102.
From 100 to 101 it's 99.941,from 101 to 102 it's 240.917,alsmost 2,5 times more
That's 800 salves or 160 cheese or 32 steaks... For 1 hero
Enchanting costs for 4/5 r2 equipped hero is over 3 million gold, for full equipped will be over 4 million
I usually am able to save from the amount I collect from crusade but this helps thanks
I now have well over 600 million gold
Former wow subscriber now dedicated Heroes Charge player.......Come at me bro
resist opening silver chests. That is how i finally started saving gold, only open free bronze chests unless you need material for enchanting, or are in need of soul stones. once you reach 50,000,000 you can use the silver chests once a day, and not loose too much. Be active in active guilds. on a typical day, in my guild 2, sometimes three raids are open. This allows me to gain 1-2,000,000. If you are active in an active guild, become one of the highest level players, this way, other members donate gold to you to gain stamina ( i get 12,000 each day usually). it adds up. CRUSADE. Get good at it, if you can afford it, VIP to a level that you can do it 2x a day- that's where most gold comes from. People bitch about not getting red items, and this or that in the crusade. The crusade is #1 in gold acquisition, any extra items, or stones is icing on the cake. Do the crusade for the coins.
Looking to sell my 105 account message me for details
how i can open a new thread
Thank you very much for this information

Oligotex Direct mRNA Midi/Maxi Kit
For mRNA purification from cells and tissues
Oligotex Direct mRNA Kits enable purification of mRNA from cells and tissues. Each Oligotex Kit includes Oligotex resin for binding poly A+ mRNA, and spin columns for washing and eluting bound mRNA. For purification of mRNA from total RNA and cleanup of poly A+ in vitro transcripts, Oligotex mRNA Kits are available.
Buy Products
The Oligotex Direct mRNA Midi/Maxi Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Product Details
Oligotex Direct mRNA Kits are available for isolation of mRNA from as few as 100 cells to as many as 1 x 108 cells (see Table 1), or from less than 10 mg of tissue up to 1000 mg of tissue (see Table 2).
Poly A+ mRNA purified from tissues or cells is suitable for use in downstream applications such as RT-PCR (see figure "RT-PCR of beta-actin mRNA").
Oligotex Direct mRNA Kits allow isolation of pure poly A+ mRNA directly from cells or tissues in as little as 1 hour (30 minutes with optional shortened protocols). The Oligotex Direct mRNA purification procedure utilizes rigorous denaturing lysis conditions to generate an immediate RNase-free environment for the isolation of intact mRNA. Oligotex Direct mRNA Kits contain a guanidine-thiocyanate–based buffer for efficient cell and tissue lysis, protein denaturation, and RNase inactivation, ensuring isolation of intact mRNA. The optimal design of Oligotex particles, in combination with RNA-protecting lysis and hybridization conditions, results in efficient purification of poly A+ mRNA in a short time with greater than 90% recovery. Poly A+ mRNA purified with Oligotex technology does not require further purification and is immediately ready for any standard application.
Oligotex resin consists of polystyrene–latex particles of uniform size (1.1 µm diameter) and a perfect spherical shape (see figure "Oligotex particles and oligo-dT cellulose") with dC10T30 oligonucleotides covalently linked to the surface. The size, composition, and surface structure of Oligotex particles have been optimized for uniform dispersion and minimal centrifugation time. The particles form a stable suspension that provides a large surface area for rapid and efficient binding of polyadenylic acids. The high capacity and accuracy of hybridization provides superior purification of poly Asup>+ mRNA through fast and efficient hybridization.The Oligotex purification procedure minimizes loss of poly A+ RNA, eliminates the risk of degradation by RNases, and requires minimal hands-on time. This makes it ideal for simultaneous handling of multiple samples.
Optimized Oligotex purification procedures are convenient and straightforward (see flowchart "Oligotex mRNA procedure"). Homogenized cell or tissue lysates are incubated with Oligotex resin, and Oligotex:mRNA complexes are collected by a brief centrifugation step. Spin columns, supplied in the Oligotex Kits, provide the most convenient handling, and optional batch protocols are also provided for certain applications. After washing, the mRNA is eluted in a small volume of Tris buffer or water. Alcohol precipitation is not required.
Poly A+ mRNA purified with Oligotex resin is ready for use in any downstream application, from RT-PCR including:

"Penn Station!", we called to the cabbie as we dragged ourselves and our teacher bags into the back of the yellow cab. Exhausted from a day of amazing workshops at TC, my colleague, Karen, and I began deconstructing the day as the cab pulled away from the curb. Suddenly, we were pushed back into our seats by the force of gravity, as our cab seemed to have gone from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 5 seconds. In traffic. Thus began a white-knuckle adventure of swerving, running red lights, narrowly avoiding pedestrians, and hitting another cab!
We made it from 121st and Riverside Drive to Penn Station in under 15 minutes. As we raced down the narrow, crowded streets, gripping the door handles, Karen kept calling out, "We can slow down a little. Oh my god….oh my god!"
"We don't need to slow down," the cabbie retorted, in an unidentifiable accent. "I go slow enough. I give the elderly time to cross the street. If it's a youngster, that's a different story. "
"O…k…." we replied. Glancing at each other, Karen and I locked eyes. Is he out of his mind? we seemed to be asking each other silently.
Outside, the streets flew by in a blur. 83rd. 81st. 75th. As I watched the street signs disappear behind us, our driver suddenly jerked the steering wheel to the right, to avoid a van in the midst of turning left. I swear we were a hair's breath from bumper of that econo-van when it started to back up! My life started to flash before my eyes as Karen and I both screamed.
"Did you see that guy? What is wrong with him? As soon as he turns he starts to back up!" Our cabbie ranted.
Neither of us had the guts to tell him our light was red. And he had run it.
As we pulled up to Penn Station (after crossing 3 lanes of traffic, and almost causing 3 separate accidents), I swiped my credit card, signed the receipt, and jumped out. A young woman quickly grabbed the cab and I almost warned her about the cabbie's offensive, rather than defensive, driving techniques. But he pulled away from the curb before she had even fully closed the door.
With my heart still racing, I walked downstairs and made my way to the NJTransit side of the station. According to the monitor, there was a train at 3:07pm and 4:10pm. Looking at my cell phone, I realized it was 3:06. As I raced down to the platform, I made it just as the doors closed.
So maybe it was a good thing the driver drove like a man possessed!

The late Dennis Spellmann, who as president helped turn Lindenwood University into an NAIA powerhouse, was inducted posthumously October 20 into Lindenwood's inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame class.
The homecoming weekend ceremony took place during a banquet on campus.
Spellmann, who died in August 2006, was inducted for his meritorious service to the athletics department.
Lindenwood began an unprecedented institutional turnaround in 1989 under Spellmann's leadership. He planned and secured funding for numerous athletic facilities including Harlan C. Hunter Stadium, Robert F. Hyland Performance Arena, Lou Brock Sports Complex and the Track and Field Complex. Spellmann initiated or improved many intercollegiate sports programs at Lindenwood. He and his wife, Sue, enthusiastically supported all athletic programs, taking particular pride in the numerous conference and national championships earned.
Fourteen former student-athletes were inducted into the first class. They are:
Kelly Austene-Raines (softball), Earl Austin, Jr. (basketball), Sean Birren (track and field), Jaime Bonney (basketball), Kelley Bowen (soccer), Caryn Chasteen (soccer), Dan Emrick (golf), Sallie Henry (softball), Jessica Metcalf (swimming and diving), Beth Neyman (soccer), Krista Niedenbach (soccer), Tim Nihart (baseball), Nebojsa Stefanovic (soccer), and Kris Tebbe (softball/soccer).
Three others entries included:
John Creer (track and field) and Debbie Washburn (women's soccer) as coaches. In addition, the 1998 Indoor Track and Field team was placed into the hall of fame in the team category.
The Lindenwood Athletics Hall of Fame was established earlier this year as a way to honor some of the top people who have helped make the Lions athletics program one of the most successful in the nation.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 29 (UPI) -- J.R. Smith reached the 30-point mark for the third straight game Friday, producing a season-best 37 in sending New York past Charlotte 111-102.
Smith became the franchise's first player in history to score at least 30 points from off the bench in three consecutive contests.
New York won its seventh straight and Smith has averaged 26.4 points a game during that stretch. He made 12-of-18 from the field and hit 11-of-12 from the foul line.
Carmelo Anthony added 32 points with 11 rebounds, helping push New York to an 18-point lead after one quarter.
Gerald Henderson scored 35 points for Charlotte, which remained stuck on a league-low 17 wins for the season.

NHS hospitals accused of 'hiding' food dissatisfaction
By Dominic Hughes
Health correspondent, BBC News
- Published
NHS hospitals in England are hiding patient dissatisfaction with the food they serve, campaigners say.
The Campaign for Better Hospital Food said NHS Trusts routinely rated their own food highly.
But patient surveys showed nearly half of people were dissatisfied with what they were offered to eat.
The campaigners want mandatory standards introduced for hospital food, like those which already exist for prisons and schools.
In the past, NHS staff in England have carried out annual assessments of the quality of hospital food.
In 2011 they rated nearly 98% of meals as "good" or "excellent".
The inspection system is now changing, but the Campaign for Better Hospital Food points to a survey of more than 64,000 patients carried out by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission, earlier this year.
In that survey just 55% of patients said the food they had been served was "good".
'Sorry state'
Alex Jackson, co-ordinator of the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, said existing policies that regulate food served in prisons and schools should be extended to hospitals.
"It is time for the government to come clean about the sorry state of hospital food in England and set mandatory standards for patient meals.
"This would only involve extending an existing policy which has seen it set mandatory standards for prison food and food served in government departments, to go alongside those that already exist for school food.
"Surely patients recovering in hospital have the same right to good food as government ministers, school kids and prisoners?"
Campaigners point to hospitals such as Darlington Memorial, where the award-winning food is locally sourced and cooked on site.
Through buying in bulk and cutting down on waste, the hospital manages to stick to a very tight budget of around £2.60 per patient per day.
Patient Concern called the findings "shocking".
It called for protected cash for hospitals to be spent on better meals.
Roger Goss, co-director of Patient Concern, said: "If managements are deliberately misleading us on hospital food, on what else are we being misled? Patient safety? Quality of care?"
In a statement, a spokesman for the Department of Health in England said there were many examples of good food across the NHS.
"But we recognise that there is too much variation across the country - that is why we have implemented a tough new inspection programme.
"We support the principle of food standards but do not think that legislation is the right way to proceed.
"We believe that the best decisions on hospital food are those taken locally by chefs and catering managers."

And many more
Mothers in Medicine will turn five this month - 5 years of stories from amazing women who I am honored to write with and share this space. Some have been writing here from Day 1; others have joined in along the way. All have shared openly, these thoughts and feelings that could easily be kept private, for the benefit of this community. The blog's growth has been staggering.
This blog is still my favorite "extracurricular." I list it on my CV under "Service to the Community" because I think that's what it is: service. It's community. A labor of love. And definitely, not a business (note: we do not, nor will we ever have ads. Advertisers, please stop emailing.).
So, MiM writers, thanks for writing. You are all fantastic, and I still hope for the day that we'll hold a MiM conference somewhere tropical. I'm buying you all drinks. MiM readers, thanks for reading and commenting and liking and sharing. You're why we are all here.
To 5 years and to many more.

Thank YOU KC, and everyone who makes this blog possible. It is a service that you are doing. Not to mention my favorite blog to read, truly inspirational!ReplyDelete
Yes KC thank you for making this possible!!! I can't wait for the MiM Blog Conference either!!! I'll have a sangria :-)ReplyDelete
I feel so happy to be a part of this community! Thank you for welcoming me and bringing this amazing community together!!!!ReplyDelete

Very thankful that when I was a scared, first-year medical student with a perish-the-thought, PLANNED first pregnancy - I had a community of woman to look up to and know I could do this like they did. This site was monumentally encouraging when I needed it, and I am proud to be a Mothers in Medicine community member. KC - THANK YOU. A hundred times over. I am now an incoming intern to a program I love, and I am very thankful something like this exists. I'll need it in residency too.ReplyDelete
Thank you KC, for developing this ever-expanding community of women supporting women - it gives so much on all sides - writers, readers, and commenters. And thank you too for embracing the individuality of the writers here and giving us freedom to talk about whatever comes to mind, the good and the bad.ReplyDelete
Happy Anniversary MiM! Here's to many more. I'll have a glass of red wine:). Hopefully we can hit that tropical paradise before our children are in college, ha ha. Mine are halfway there, if you average them.
Thanks for creating and including me in this extra-curricular community. Outstanding radio rounds interview, by the way. You have a future (correction, a presence, presently) in broadcast journalism. Happy mother's day everyday.ReplyDelete

The moment that everyone has been waiting for since Bryce Harper graced the front cover of Sports Illustrated, at age 16, finally occured last night. That's right, National's phenom, and 1st overall pick of the 2010 draft, made his MLB debut last night in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.
There were high expectations for Harper coming into this game, and to tell you the truth, I thought he did really well given the immense pressure. Anytime a young prospect makes his debut there is pressure involved, but considering the fact that Harper has been in the public eye for the past 4 years, everyone knows who he is, and thus already has their opinion of him. They either love him, or hate him. This was made evident when Harper came up to bat for the first time, in the top of the 2nd inning, to a howl of boos.
Harper failed to get a hit in his first two at bats, but finally connected with one in the top of 7th, sending a laser shot over the head of Matt Kemp, who fielded the ball well, forcing Harper to stop at second base with a double.
As far as Harper's debut goes, it wasn't the incredible performance that some were hoping for, but Harper did get some good at bats in, and was a major factor in the game. While he recorded what appeared to be the game winning sac fly at the time, the National's ended up losing, as Matt Kemp hit a walk off homer in the bottom of the 10th. But that was to be expected.
Harper recorded his first hit, which also happened to be the first extra base hit of his career, as well as his first RBI. The only thing left for Harper to do is hit his first big league jack. To which I pose the following question:
Cast your vote in the poll above, and as always, leave a comment if you wish.

Lindsay Lohan has a big event to attend when she completes her stint in rehab: The Canyons premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Team Lohan tweeted Tuesday that the Bret Easton Ellis–helmed movie would screen at the festival, which kicks off on Aug. 28. A rep for Lohan confirmed to E! News that the 26-year-old actress is planning on attending the premiere.
The film, in which Lohan stars alongside porn star James Deen, was reportedly rejected from the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW earlier this year.
In the meantime, a source tells E! News that the Mean Girls star is "doing well" at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif. She's expected to complete her 90 days of court-ordered rehab in early August.
A post-treatment promotional trip to Italy should be a nice way to get back into the swing of things.
