I've already railed against Apple's overhaul of iOS 7, with its jarring use of white and its over-reliance on textual Web motifs.

JCPenney Accused of Failing to Disclose Insufficient Liquidity

German Shepherd Dog > Little Sonny is Here! (17 replies)
Little Sonny is Here! by Mcap on 28 June 2012 - 14:08 |
We picked our little Sonny from the airport Tuesday night. The trip frpm Boise (through Seattle) to Chgo was a long one but he did just fine. The weather really cooperated as we caught a mid 70s day. Today it's going to hit a 100 degrees plus. He cam in on Alaska Air and the have a specialized pet transport service with climate controlled cabins. They were awesome and even called us to give us a status on the flight and exact instructions where to pick up Sonny.
Sonny was great on the ride home and when Rocco saw him it was like "pure joy". He immediately came over and started licking him. The pup was crawling all over him and Rocco just sat there enjoying it. Rocco has barely eaten since Milo died and for the last 2 days, he has consumed over 6 lbs of raw. He even shared his big knuckle bone with Sonny. I know that will change, but for now, he's being a perfect gentleman. Since Milo died Rocco would just lay in the spot in the kitchen where he passed and was just sad. He has made a complete 180 and it looks like old Rocco is back! We couldn't ask for more out of a 7 mo old puppy. The breeder had Sonny on a mostly raw diet so there really is no transition for us. He has a great appetite and since he was home raised, his social skills for an 8 wk old puppy are awesome!
Here's some pics of Sonny...

It is a nice story! I love hearing how Sonny rescued Rocco's spirit. Sonny is a cutie pie, too. Thanks for sharing, Mcap. |

Oh God. I love the second picture. So sweet =) |

2nd Pic: Is Rocco auditioning for an award as a contortionist? LOL! Rocco is just 7 months, right? Or IS that Rocco? It sure doesn't look like a GSD in that cage! Edit: never mind, I finally sorted the picture out! At first I couldn't see where his head was, and it looked like his whole body was red. Now I see the head and the mask next to Sonny's cage. And he STILL looks really contorted... :) I am SO happy to hear Sonny had brought sunshine back into Rocco's life! What GREAT news! My male GSD went into mourning when my cat was run over by a car. So, I had to go out and get him a new friend: a female GSD pup! That worked like a charm, too! |
by kitkat3478 on 28 June 2012 - 17:00 |
Congrats on your new puppy, he looks very nice, and it's wonderful that he has brought joy to ALL of you. I hope you have many years of happiness and GREAT HEALTH, for your ENTIRE FAMILY. |

Welcome Sonny! He is charming, and I hope that he heals the hearts of all of you. I went to see a friends new 8 week old pup last night, and there is nothing that lifts the spirit and radiates pure joy like a shepherd pup! Am looking forward to seeing him grow and seeing pics of him and Rocco together. Congratulations on a lovely boy - may he be everything you wish for and more. |

Hartzell Propeller has received an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for a 3-bladed propeller conversion kit for the Cessna 182S, 182T Skylane, T182T Skylane TC, up through models in current production. The conversion kit provides Cessna Skylanes with improved performance, appearance, and decreased noise signatures.
The new Hartzell Top Prop kit features 82-inch diameter, swept tip, "blended" airfoil Scimitar-shaped aluminum alloy blades. These not only increase the aircraft's ramp appeal but also provide an 8.5% improvement in climb performance over the original propeller and a better cruise performance by 2 to 4 knots. Noise emission is at a globally accepted level of 77.5 dB (a) as measured by the latest FAA and international standards. Compatible de-icing kits, which include de-icing boots and harnesses, are available as optional equipment.
Top Prop program manager Mike Trudeau said, "Top Prop conversions are one of the easiest and most economically efficient methods for improving the value and productivity of an aircraft. With this new conversion, Hartzell's Top Prop family continues to grow as the largest and most complete propeller conversion offerings in the world. Currently more than 70 different Beechcraft, Cessna, Commander, Diamond, Mooney, Piper, and SOCATA propeller kits are available."
Available directly from Hartzell or through Hartzell's Top Prop dealers, the 2012 list price for these kits, which include new, polished, pointed aluminum spinners, is $11,300, or $12,200 with de-icing equipment. The new propeller carries the exclusive Hartzell Plus3 warranty, which delivers a full three years or 1000 hours of coverage, and has a six-year/2400-hour TBO.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
I think it goes without saying that if you're a chocolate chip cookie fan, these cupcakes are right up your alley! Each component - from the brown sugar chocolate chip studded cupcake base to the eggless cookie dough filling to the buttercream frosting - is utterly delicious and really does taste like cookie dough. This was a project I took on for our New Year's Eve get-together with friends, and though I'd tasted each component separately, I wondered if the combination would be too sweet or too rich, especially for our friends, who don't necessarily have a sweet tooth like mine. My concerns were quickly put to rest; the cupcakes were a big hit with everyone. In fact, after trying them, Shane was disappointed I'd only made enough for him to eat two cupcakes.
There are quite a few components to these cupcakes so I think the best strategy is to make them over the course of a few days. I started off by baking the cupcakes, and while they were in the oven, I made the filling. The cooled cupcakes went into an airtight container for the night while the filling sat in the fridge. The next day I tackled the frosting and assembled the cupcakes. Also, because I thought they were adorable, I took the extra step of making mini chocolate chip cookies (recipe here) to top them, per Annie's suggestion. The best thing about that decision? We had a ton of extra cookie dough, which I stuck in the freezer, and have used to bake fresh chocolate chip cookies for dessert most nights this week. Not much beats a warm chocolate chip cookie from the oven :) For those who like to scale back recipes as much as I do, I quartered this one and it worked beautifully - I got 6 cupcakes, and each of the components worked well, though the measurements do get a little tricky with some of the ingredients.
Regardless of how many you make, these cupcakes are completely worth the effort. I wish I'd taken a photo of the inside to show you, but I didn't make enough to try one before we went to our friend's house and completely forgot by the time we dug in. Next time, I promise!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
from Annie's Eats
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (I used whole milk), at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
7 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
To make the cupcakes: preheat oven to 350 F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Measure the flour into a medium bowl. Remove 1-2 tablespoons of the flour (don't worry about being exact) and add them to a second bowl with the chocolate chips, mixing with your fingers to coat the chips with the flour (we're doing this to keep the chips from sinking to the bottom of the cupcakes when they bake); set aside. Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt to the bowl containing only the flour and whisk to combine.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the mixer on low, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the bowl, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, beating just until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla. Finally, add the chocolate chips that were combined with the flour, and use a rubber spatula to combine until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, filling each well about 3/4-full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the filling: Use a hand mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and beat to combine. Switch to a rubber spatula and mix in the mini chocolate chips. Wrap the "dough" in plastic wrap and refrigerate until it firms up, at least an hour. (I left mine in the fridge overnight and it was fine - I just let it sit on my counter for 30 minutes or so the next day before I filled the cupcakes.)
To fill the cupcakes: Use a paring knife to cut a cone-shaped piece from the center of each cupcake (if you've never done this, helpful photos here). Place a piece of the cookie dough filling in the hole in the center of each cupcake.
To make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Finally, add the flour and salt and beat briefly to combine, then add the milk and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
Frost the filled cupcakes and garnish, if desired.

So I just made these and they turned out ok. The frosting was SO gritty tho. Yours looks so smooth in the picture. Is that just the camera or did I do something wrong?
- March 7, 2011 at 6:55 PM
- Tracey said...
@Brad - The frosting is supposed to be a bit granular just like real cookie dough, so you probably didn't do anything wrong. Mine wasn't overly gritty, definitely not something that would have shown in the photos.

I would like to know if it tastes okay with uncooked flour..
- November 12, 2012 at 2:45 AM
- Tracey Wilhelmsen said...
@Unknown - It has a similar taste and texture to raw cookie dough so if you don't mind the raw flour there, you probably won't mind it here. Definitely a matter of personal preference!

I know this is an older post, but I am so glad I found it! Gooey over the top doesn't appeal to me. These, on the other hand, look wonderful. All of the elements go together perfectly. I am making these for a birthday next week. Thanks!

I just found your blog the other day and I think I've bookmarked literally at least 50 of your recipes! These were the first thing I tried and they definitely didn't disappoint :) My friend loves uncooked dough and batter and I love the finished product, so this was the perfect baking project for us! The only thing is I added a bit more milk (maybe like a tablespoon or two) to the frosting because I found it a bit too stiff to pipe.

Craftsman 3 ton jack anyone?
We have a Craftsman 3 ton jack that we no longer need as we invested in a aluminum 3 ton rapid pump. Anyone in the York PA area or going to Carlisle that would be interested in picking up?

I'll even hit up the wheels and frame with black Rust-Oleum if interested.
07-10-2013, 01:43 PM #6I own a Craftsman 3 ton floor jack as well. How on earth do you bend the frame on a floor jack? I've had mine for over 7 years and while the paint has scraped off the wheels and the jack head, it still looks and operates like new. My jack never leaves the garage so that is why it looks so good.
I had an old Craftsman floor jack which looked like it was from the 70s and all that happened to it was the hydraulics went out. IMO Craftsman floor jacks are really rugged.

After my mother moved out our garage was too cluttered to work on a vehicle so we would have to work on ours in the driveway. As you can see in some of my pictures in my albums I live on the side of a hill. One day as I was jacking it up, I left to get some jack stands, the truck slipped off of the jack, wedging it between the A frame and the driveway. It still works well even with the frame being bent.

Bangkok prices in general - how far does the Baht go?
Bangkok prices in general - how far does the Baht go?
Which reminds me, if I go to a market and point at an item and indicate I don't speak Thai, will the situation be hopeless? My experience from similar situations in Eastern Europe has been that the stall owners have shown the relevant amount on a piece of paper or on a calculator.
Speaking of money, should I leave my ATM card back at the hotel and just bring wads of cash, or will most businesses take the VISA part of the card at least?
Actually I'm a bit surprised that this board don't have an ignorant 'firsttime tourist' subforum. I feel I have a lot more questions waiting in line.

Re: Bangkok prices in general - how far does the Baht go?
Now, I have been living here full-time for over two years and have found the Thai people to be friendly, curious, honest and willing to help you negotiate the intricacies of the country. Sure, this is not Norway or New York City and you will meet up with situations and attitudes which might strike you as a bit odd or even completely nutty, but unless it is a really serious situation you can just shrug it off with a smile and say "Mai pen rai" (generically, "I'm sorry") and move on.
Prices are not a problem if you have figured out how to convert your Norwegian currency to Thai baht and then quickly make a mental judgment of the price being asked. Food and drink are really cheap, and no matter what the charge you will find it a bargain, even though the locals might think it's expensive! The same goes for stuff bought on the street: clothes, knock-off watches, etc. - and don't be afraid to bargain for a lower price. It is expected, and at least a small discount is usually forthcoming.
Your ATM card should work at the machines over here (and there are PLENTY of them), but check with you bank first so they are aware that it is you who are traveling and they don't cut off your account because of foreign purchases. I tell you this from first-hand experience. I use my VISA debit card for ready cash exclusively and rarely have a problem - but there may be a limit on daily withdrawals - mine seems to be 10,000 baht, or about $330 US, plus fees.
No city has more taxis than Bangkok, and 99% are honest and metered - starting at 35 baht and progressing very slowly, which is a blessing because you will often sit in traffic for what seems to be hours. One difficulty is that many drivers do not speak English, so it's a good idea to have your destination written in Thai and to carry your hotel business card for the return trip.
A couple of other things: It's HOT here now, so be prepared. Also, Thai street food is also hot (spicy, that is) and not always up to our sanitary standards, so take it easy for a while and eat at clean, modern restaurants. If you get a bacterial digestive attack, Norfloxacin is available at every pharmacy and will fix you up with 2 doses.
There's more, but you will be able to cope on your own. Just relax, smile a lot, and enjoy the furtive looks from people who think you must be from another planet! You'll get used to it.

Re: Bangkok prices in general - how far does the Baht go?
I just want to give some advice.
1. Be careful, especially in crowded areas. Beware of snatchers.
2. Check the taxi meter and clearly state that you will take the taxi meter. If you don't know the place, the driver will give you the price and sometimes unreasonable price. Just for example, from Suvarnabhumi international airport to Mochit (northern) bus terminal 1,500Baht but in fact if its in taxi meter not more than 400 baht.
3. Thais are friendly, helpful, etc. but we won't deny that they are human as well.
4. Enjoy your stay in Thailand and be safe.

GenetheMachine wrote:My apologies for not seeing this forum sooner. During my first trip to Thailand I was frequently asked if this was my first trip to Thailand. The best answer to give a strangers is "no." They are looking for someone to overcharge. This is especially true with cab drivers who want to take you shopping as well as many shopkeepers. Always negotiate except in department stores where a price is posted. The polite way to say no is mai chai. Most street beggars accept this answer and move along because you know how to say mai chai. I am looking forward to my next trip with a few months. Have fun
Always hail a cab passing on the street. Even the Thai people don't grab a taxi waiting at the top of Khao San Road or a hotel. When these cabi's and tuk tuk drivers try to hustle a ride from me, I just say, "Chok Dee Krup!!!" (good luck to you). Just join the que at the airport. 10 min wait....200 - 400 baht by meter.
I like the 400 baht haircuts, because the stylists speak English. They'll use scissors instead of a buzz saw, and wash your hair twice while giving you a scalp massage. Ahhh...luxury. $6 vs $12? I say it's worth it.

Re: Bangkok prices in general - how far does the Baht go?
I have caught many taxis from the top of Khao San road to Sukhumvit and back to where I live west of the city. I have never been ripped off on the meter except that some taxi drivers don't know where I live and on occasion have been know to take a longer than normal route. The main problem is getting them to take you as they don' want to drive far on a meter when some stupid farang will pay them 200-400 baht to take them to the opposite side of the road. I have seen farang pay 200 baht in a tuk tuk to go from Nana Plaza to Soi Cowboy.
A lot of Thai hate this because taxis will not stop to pick up Thais in Sukhumvit at night because they will only get meter fare from them.
As for haircuts I pay 50 baht and the lady does a very good job. She will even wash your hair before she cuts it if you want and all for 50 baht.

Isla Mujeres Vacations
Your Isla Mujeres vacation
Located across from Cancun, Isla Mujeres is only five miles long and a half-mile wide.
The island's restaurants serve fresh seafood as well as international and regional specialties. Bars offer live tropical and romantic music and Caribbean shows. Add to this Isla's many attractions and activities, and you've found the place for a perfect vacation.
Isla Mujeres is ringed by powdery-white sand beaches, the largest of which is Playa Norte. Here you can enjoy the sun, tropical breeze and calm, warm waters. The island's influence stretches over to Punta Sam, home of the archaeological site of El Meco and Boca Iglesias, the first convent in Mexico. This area is now developing as Costa Mujeres and will offer new options with fine, modern accommodations and facilities.
Options for water sports are unlimited and unparalleled, including windsurfing over calm Caribbean waters and snorkeling through beautiful coral landscapes at El Garrafón National Park or other surrounding reefs. Kayaks, water bicycles and boogie boards are available for rent at Playa Norte (North Beach).
The traditional boat rides are a great option to reach the main points of interest in the island and its surrounding areas. Boats leave from the small docks located on Rueda Medina Avenue, the city's main road. They are available throughout the entire day.
To see and enjoy every corner of the island and to mingle with its friendly residents, nothing beats a tour around Isla on a golf cart, moped or bicycle.
Many establishments in Isla Mujeres offer tours to the neighboring Isla Contoy, which has more than 60 different bird species along with many other plants and animals.
Other attractions include picturesque streets and alleys where you'll find handicrafts, jewelry and other merchandise from all over Mexico.

Veterans appreciate grateful acknowledgment of service
DEAR ABBY: As Veterans Day approaches, may I share a few guidelines that can be helpful when interacting with veterans or service members?
1. It is never OK to ask a veteran if he or she has killed someone or to joke about it. If we have, we can't even talk about it with our spouses, much less a stranger.
2. When you thank us for our service or pay for our meal, it is really appreciated. We also appreciate packages and notes.

6/20/2005: "Human Rights in Vietnam" |
Testimony by Nina Shea, Vice-Chair Before the House International Relations Committee Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations
Human Rights in Vietnam Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee let me begin by thanking you for holding this important and timely hearing. It is an honor for me to be here. Prime Minister Phan Van Khai arrives in Washington today to hold a historic meeting with President Bush. It has been thirty years since the end of the Vietnam War and ten years since our two countries have normalized relations. Relations between our two countries have strengthened and improved in many important areas. Trade is up to almost $7 billion a year and Vietnam seems poised to enter the World Trade Organization (WTO). Military ties are growing as our naval ships now regularly visit Vietnamese ports The U.S. is also popular with Vietnamese youth. These are encouraging signs and ones that should be capitalized on. A secure and prosperous Southeast Asia is in the interest of both our countries. But significant issues remain, particularly in the area of human rights, including religious freedom. More than any other issue, differences over human rights and religious freedom have the potential to inhibit the forward momentum in our bilateral relationship. Relations can never fully develop until the Government of Vietnam protects and promotes the fundamental human rights of all its citizens. These concerns should not be swept aside during the Prime Minister's visit. It is crucial that the U.S. Government speaks with one strong voice that economic and security interests should not precede human rights. In his meeting with the Prime Minister, President Bush has the chance to explain why human rights are an important U.S. foreign policy concern and how progress on human rights is needed before there is full cooperation on other bilateral interests. Human Rights and Freedom in Vietnam: The Current State of Affairs Mr. Chairman, the Government of Vietnam's human rights record remains poor and freedoms of speech, assembly, association and religion continue to be significantly restricted. Though Vietnam is in some respects a less repressive society now than it was ten or fifteen years ago, we should not conclude that Vietnam's economic openness has lead directly to political openness or greater respect for human rights. Our deepening economic and commercial relationship with Vietnam may encourage economic reform and transparency and it may draw Vietnam further into a rules-based international trading system, but the evidence suggests that it has not encouraged greater political freedom for Vietnamese citizens. The human rights situation in Vietnam has not improved since passage of the Bilateral Trade Act of 2001. One has seen the brutal and ongoing suppression of ethnic Montagnards who marched for land rights and religious freedom in April of 2004, the jailing of Pham Song Hong and others for posting articles critical of the government on the Internet, the silencing and jailing of journalists for exposing corruption, and the mass arrests of Buddhist monks from the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), despite promises by Prime Minister Khai that pressure on the group would cease. UBCV monk Thich Thien Minh, released in February after sixteen years in prison, did not see many improvements in human rights and religious freedom. He said, "I have exchanged my small prison for a bigger one." The lessons of recent history are quite clear-economic freedom and political freedom cannot be separated. People want to experience the benefits of liberty undiluted and governments who try to check this desire will find they are trying to hold back the rolling tide of the human spirit. I am sure that the other panelists today will discuss in more detail other human rights concerns. So, with the remainder of my remarks, I would like to focus on religious freedom in Vietnam and particularly on U.S.-Vietnam relations since Vietnam was designated, by the Secretary of State, as a country of particular concern. Vietnam As Country of Particular Concern (CPC): Evidence that International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) Works The Commission has followed events in Vietnam closely. Commissioners and staff have traveled to Vietnam and we have established contact with religious leaders, scholars, and human rights activists inside and outside of Vietnam. Over the past fifteen years, the government of Vietnam has slowly carved out a noticeable "zone of toleration" for government approved religious practice. However, at the same time, it has actively repressed, and targeted as subversive, religious activity it cannot control or that which refuses government oversight. Targeted in particular are leaders of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), ethnic minority Christians in the Central Highlands and northwest provinces, "house-church" Protestants, and followers of religious minority groups such as the Hoa Hao and Cao Dai. This repression has not abated in the last year. Since 2001, the Commission recommended that Vietnam be designated as a country of particular concern (CPC) for ongoing, egregious, and systematic abuses of religious freedom under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. The State Department followed our recommendation and designated Vietnam as a CPC in September of last year. Since the CPC designation, the State Department and the Vietnamese government have engaged on the issue of religious freedom. The government of Vietnam has made some gestures, including the release of several prominent dissidents, a directive to stop forcing Protestants to recant their faith, and another to streamline the application process for religious groups registering with the government. The State Department cited these actions as progress when it announced last month that it had reached an "agreement" with Vietnam to avoid more stringent actions, including economic sanctions, for countries designated as a CPC. Though the agreement is secret, from public statements we know that basically Vietnam promised to implement its new laws and the U.S. promised to consider removing the CPC designation. We should not downplay the significance of this action and Ambassador-At-Large for International Religious Freedom John Hanford should be commended for the time and effort he has invested in Vietnam. The agreement reached was the first such diplomatic agreement signed with a CPC country since the passage of IRFA in 1998. We should see this as evidence that both vigorous diplomatic action and the use of the CPC designation produced results that might lead to future improvements in religious freedom in Vietnam. But, Mr. Chairman, the key words here are "might" and "future." The actions taken only signal promises of improvement and not actual measurable progress. Promises do not mean progress. And, these actions do not address the human rights violations that landed Vietnam on the CPC list in the first place. Religious prisoners remain behind bars, churches remain closed, and restrictions and harassment on all of Vietnam's diverse religious communities continue. Don't Lift the CPC Designation Without Concrete Results There are a number of important religious freedom concerns that are not addressed by Vietnam's recent action, including:
Troubling reports continue to arrive of new arrests and pressure on religious and ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
Mr. Chairman, I have a letter here from Truong Tri Hien, the Acting Secretary of the Mennonite Church of Vietnam. The letter documents, in great detail the arrests and harassment faced by his religious community over the past eighteen months. It is a sad and telling testimonial to the continued pressure that religious groups face in Vietnam. He wants the Commission to give the letter to the Committee and distribute it to those concerned about religious freedom in Vietnam. Pastor Hien is taking a great risk compiling and sending this letter and he knows it. We are told that he is in hiding in a third country. He is awaiting an interview with the Department of Homeland Security so he can come to the United States and meet with you, Mr. Chairman, in person. It is obvious to me that the situation in Vietnam can be summed up as "repression as usual." Though promises of future improvement are encouraging, we should not reward Vietnam too quickly by lifting the CPC designation. Policy Recommendations: We know that human rights remain a problem for U.S.-Vietnam relations. But the question that always arises is what can we do about it? The Commission's 2005 Annual Report includes policy recommendations that we believe can improve U.S. human rights diplomacy for Vietnam. In general, the Commission recommends that U.S. diplomatic and assistance programs be expanded and re-prioritized to directly promote freedom of religion and related human rights in Vietnam. Non-humanitarian assistance programs have been declining in Vietnam, except for new HIV/AID funding and assistance programs to help Vietnam enter the WTO. We believe that new public diplomacy, economic development, and technical assistance programs should be targeted to address ongoing human rights problems. We have made specific recommendations for Congressional and Administration action in the areas of public diplomacy, economic development, education, good governance, and rule of law programs for Vietnam. I will append them to my remarks for the record. Conclusion: If the Government of Vietnam were to take further steps to honor its international commitments and improve its respect for human rights, U.S.-Vietnam relations will improve for the long term and serve as the basis for a strong and healthy relationship built on mutual interests, the rule of law, and the "non-negotiable demand of human dignity." Thank you Mr. Chairman and I welcome your questions. Tags: |

Do You Have Room In Your Heart?
This handsome, long-haired cat is Milo. He is four years old. He had a difficult time adjusting to shelter life when he arrived at Responsible Pet Care. His caregivers put a carrier inside his kennel to help him feel safe. He would hid inside the carrier until the room was cleaned then he would cautiously sit on it.
With time Milo began to feel more secure with the people who care for him. Now he can be found sitting on top of his carrier playing king of the world and reaching out to people.
Milo needs to feel loved and appreciated. He also needs to be able to roam freely through a house where he does not feel trapped.
When Milo feels secure he will reward his new person with trust and friendship.
Responsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills is a no-kill, non-profit shelter and adoption center for cats and kittens and the holding place for stray dogs for 12 towns in Oxford County.
The shelter cares for between 80 to 100 cats and kittens, and four to six dogs on site and in foster homes. At least 50 cats are ready for adoption at all times.
The fee to adopt a kitten up to six months old is $90. The fee to adopt an adult cat is $80. For senior cats over 10 years old the suggested donation is $50. Before a cat leaves the shelter it has been spayed or neutered, given rabies and distemper vaccinations, tested for feline AIDS and leukemia, and treated for parasites.
Anyone who is interested in adopting a pet from RPC can visit the shelter Tuesday through Sunday from Noon until 4 p.m. Adoptable pets and the adoption application can be found online on the shelter's website at www.rpc.petfinder.com.
The shelter also operates a thrift shop called Pawsibilities. It is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Donations of clean, usable household items will be accepted during those hours. All money raised at Pawsibilities supports RPC.
Both Responsible Pet Care and Pawsibilities are located at 132 Waterford Road in Norway.

Music and Alzheimer's: Can it help?
How can music help people who have Alzheimer's disease?
from Glenn Smith, Ph.D.
Limited research suggests that listening to music can benefit people who have Alzheimer's disease in various ways.
For example, music can:
- Relieve stress
- Reduce anxiety and depression
- Reduce agitation
Music can also benefit caregivers by reducing anxiety, lightening the mood and providing a way to connect with loved ones who have Alzheimer's disease — especially those who have difficulty communicating.
If you'd like to use music to help a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease, consider these tips:
- Think about your loved one's preferences. What kind of music does your loved one enjoy? What music evokes memories of happy times in his or her life? Involve family and friends by asking them to suggest songs or make playlists.
- Set the mood. To calm your loved one during mealtime or a morning hygiene routine, play music or sing a song that's soothing. When you'd like to boost your loved one's mood, use faster paced music.
- Avoid overstimulation. When playing music, eliminate competing noises. Turn off the TV. Shut the door. Set the volume based on your loved one's hearing ability. Opt for music that isn't interrupted by commercials, which can cause confusion.
- Encourage movement. Help your loved one to clap along or tap his or her feet to the beat. If possible, dance with your loved one.
- Pay attention to your loved one's response. If your loved one seems to enjoy particular songs, play them often. If your loved one reacts negatively to a particular song or type of music, choose something else.
Keep in mind that music might not affect your loved one's behavior or quality of life and that further research on music and Alzheimer's disease is needed.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Jeremiah - Chapter 46
Rabbi Menachem Leibtag
A Word for Egypt
Starting with this chapter, Jeremiah delivers prophecies regarding the fates of a variety of other nations. In this chapter, he speaks of Egypt.
The army of Egypt prepares for war with Babylonia, but they end up breaking rank and running away in fear. No matter how swift or strong, they will not escape; they will be overcome by the Babylonian forces. Egypt's army used to be like the Nile itself, rising up and flooding the land. Now the army of Nebuchadnezzar has come and the Egyptians are at a loss for what to do. On that day, G-d will take vengeance against those guilty of the murder of King Yoshiyahu (Josiah - see II Chronicles 35). There will be a massacre in the north, where Egypt confronts Nebuchadnezzar.
There is no cure for Egypt's ills. When their army flees, their mighty warriors will crash into one another and both will fall.
G-d spoke to Jeremiah about Babylonia's impending invasion of Egypt. He was to proclaim publicly that they should prepare themselves for the sword. Why are their warriors being swept away? None of them can stand before G-d. Those who originally fled to Egypt for safety would try to return to their homelands (but presumably not be successful in the attempt). They will say that Pharaoh talked big but didn't act when it was time and now it's too late. G-d says that Egypt will be exiled and desolate. Egypt was formerly like a beautiful cow, but now her princes are like fattened calves - useless in the battle. The cry of Egypt will go forth like a snake and Babylonia will come against them like lumberjacks in the woods. They will chop the Egyptians down because the Babylonians are so numerous.
G-d says that He will take care business with the idol of Alexandria, as well as Pharaoh and the other idols and princes. They will fall into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, but one day the land of Egypt will be populated. (They will never again be a world power, though.)
The few righteous Jews who were dragged to Egypt against their will are told not to fear. They will be redeemed in safety. They are faithful servants and G-d is with them, but He will make an end of the nations where they have been exiled. The Jewish nation will be chastised, but never completely destroyed.
The Pharoah of this chapter is called "Pharaoh Neco," which the Targum Yonason translates as "Pharaoh the lame." Why was this Pharaoh lame? A well-known Midrash says that King Solomon's throne was adorned with a variety of mechanical animals. When this Pharaoh had King Yoshiyahu killed, he confiscated Solomon's throne from the palace. Not knowing how to operate it, he was wounded by a mechanical lion (Leviticus Rabbah 20:1, et al).

Best Thermal Inkjet Printer of 2013
2 August 2013 by Permi Krishna
Thermal printing is a digital printing process in which coated thermochromic paper is selectively heated while passing over the thermal print head, and the coating turns black in areas where it's heated thus generating your printed images. Dual colour direct thermal printers achieve black as well as one additional colour by applying heat on the thermochromic paper at two different temperatures.
Thermal transfer printing utilizes a heat sensitive ribbon instead of paper and apart from this is similar to thermal printing.
When compared to dot matrix printers, thermal printers are a lot more ideal for portable and retail applications as they make less sound, work faster, consume less power and are relatively less bulky.
They are also required for commercial applications as filling station pumps, voucher printers in slot machines, information kiosks, point of scale systems, print on demand labels and also for recording live rhythm on hospital cardiac monitors.

The photo shown for No. 10 is of a bar in New York, not the great San Diego steak house.
The photo for No. 2 is from Tao in New York City, not the unaffiliated Tao restaurant in San Diego. C'mon...
Snooze is located at 3940 Fifth Ave., not 3940 Hillcrest Ave. (which doesn't exist). Seriously, who put together this list?
Obviously the incorrect pictures were compiled by the same turkey who thinks that a national chain steakhouse qualifies as one of the top 10 restaurants in the city. San Diego foodies should be embarrassed.
Carnitas Snack Shack one of the best "restaurants" in San Diego???
