Hello. Sorry to bother you I am having trouble with RobAs artistic regional RPG map. I have currently just finished the mountains section using his newer mountain tutorial linked in the regional map tutorial and for some reason the entire map itself save for the mountains has darkened by several shades and any alterations made to the map come out darker than they should. Drawing on the map in white for example comes out as a dark gray. Here is a link to the file zipped up: http://www.mediafire.com/?mwjywfzml33
Also if you could clarify his directions on making rivers in his regional map tutorial you would be helping me a great deal.
hello, i need i little help, please! How can i save all my maps that i made? When i put to save it choses just one...
Yes your right it should be moved. I think I'm gonna play with the roofs some and then repost the finished product when I'm happy with them. Thank you.

Milwaukee Rep explores effects of bullying in 'terrible things'
Don't assume its bookstore setting means the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's new drama, "after all the terrible things I do," is something genteel. Based on a reading of the script, the verbal encounters between the two characters in A. Rey Pamatmat's drama sometimes come across as fighters jabbing with one hand while guarding their weak spots with the other.
But a bookstore also fits the play, which considers and dramatizes the power of bullying words to hurt or even kill. »Read Full Article

The bidet toilet, while relatively uncommon in the states, is lauded for its hygienic qualities.
The earliest bidets were simply water basins located near toilets. In its modern form, this lavatorial structure is regularly referred to as a "bidet" or "Japanese toilet." They range from a simple stream of water to a more complex apparatus that can sometimes involve a number of adjustable settings.
People all throughout Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and East Asia encounter bidet toilets on a regular basis. They have achieved popularity in other parts of the world due to their perceived usefulness in helping the user achieve an extra level of cleanliness. This in turn, stifles the spread of germs and assists in the proliferation of overall, general health.
They are ideal for hospitals, clinics or any settings in which sanitation is a priority.
The bidets from ActiveForever are of the highest quality at the best prices. Choose from a variety of models such as the Brondell Swash or the Bio Bidet. These bidets are easily installed and they include an assortment of popular features.

I gave myself about six months to get over my fears, anxiety, panic attacks, etc and it just wasn't working. At the advice of my primary care doctor, I consented to go on an anti-depressant. I'll admit that at the time I was really apprehensive about taking a pill...I somehow thought that if I couldn't deal with my post tramatic stress issues (due to eclamptic seizure) & post partum depression issues that somehow I was a failure to myself and to my son. Well, fast forward six weeks later to when the meds started to kick in...I now feel great...finally, after months of needless suffering I am able to put things in perspective and I am starting to feel like my old self again...thanks God! My only concern is, how long will I have to be on the medication? My doctor feels that if it is working, then I shouldn't be worried about that now...but I don't want my happiness & calmness to be dependent on these pills. The way I am feeling now is the way I felt before PE & Help hit me. If anyone else had to go on perscription anti depressants after PE, how long did you have to stay on them??? Also, I was watching tv the other night and I saw a commercial for one anti depressent in particular that said if you have had a seizure in the past then this pill is not for you....while I am not on that medication (I'm on Zoloft) it promted me to ask my doctor if zoloft was safe for me being that I had an eclamptic seizure. She assured me that I am fine, but I must admit, my faith in the medical field has been lacking these days. Additonally, after I read a the post about "when were you diagnoised with h.e.l.p" i called my obgyn who informed me that I had h.e.l.p as well...and I didn't know that until just now...almost seven months post partum! I wouldn't have even thought to ask if it wasn't for the post I read on this forum. Guess you learn something new everyday!

According to Longview police, 38-year-old Candace Jackson, who was involved in Thursday's SWAT standoff has been shot and the incident is over. Authorities said that Jackson died at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview shortly after being transported there by ambulance.
Police reported that there was an armed person inside a home in the 2000 block of Eden Drive. The situation began as a welfare call around 1:18 on Thursday afternoon.
Residents who live in that area were not allowed in for hours as this standoff continued.
"I was at the church and I saw the emergency vehicles, SWAT team vehicles; I saw them go by. I got concerned because being a pastor, you have connections all over the area," said Nathan Rogers, a pastor at Longview Missionary Church.
It turns out, these emergency vehicles were headed to Rogers' neighborhood. His family was hiding inside their home.
"Being a husband and a father, I was wanting to get home to them," Rogers explained.
However, he was unable to reach his family because police closed off all entrances to the neighborhood. He and some of his neighbors had to wait down the street, communicating to loved ones in the neighborhood by phone.
"I talked to one of the officers and he's the one who gave me the instructions to pass along to them to get to the interior of the house and stay away from the windows," Rogers said. It's the advice he gave to his family.
Meanwhile, authorities used gas to get Jackson out of the home. Police said she came out of the home and opened fire at police, so they shot her and took her by ambulance to the hospital where she died shortly after.
"My dad and I were in the house counting how many shots after another 13, 14 and then finally the ambulance came through the and we saw her on the stretcher get pulled into the ambulance and they rushed her off," said neighbor, Brittany Crowe.
Kilgore College confirmed Jackson graduated from their nursing program with high honors in December 2010.
Shortly after graduating, Jackson took a job at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview until she resigned in February.
"This is obviously a tragic situation and, of course, our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved during this difficult time," the hospital said in a statement.
Longview police say the Texas Rangers will continue this investigation.

That wasn't supposed to be a funny piece, Don. It was a serious writing and there's no one who knows you better than Carol. It stands to reason that she would be called on in heaven for suggestions for your crown because she could personalize it better than anyone. For instance, she might select an emerald for your crown, ground and polished into the shape of your dog Betsy, to show your love for animals. Or a gleaming diamond, cut into a tiny bird-like figurine representing the birds that flocked to your lake every year. There might be a miniature vacuum cleaner made from a fine ruby to indicate what a good housekeeper you are, or a teeny-tiny shopping cart cut from a stunning ruby since you did all the grocery shopping. Come to think of it, Carol might be reading this right now ("Hi Carol!") and could use some of my suggestions.
Who knows what good things God has prepared for those who love Him and served Him faithfully for many years?

Acute tubular necrosis is damage to the tubule cells (tiny tube-shaped cells) in the kidney that results in acute kidney failure. This is a potentially serious condition that requires care from your doctor.
Acute tubular necrosis can be caused by:
- Lack of oxygen to kidney tissues from problems such as blood clots, surgical complications , severe dehydration or hemorrhage (heavy bleeding)
- Exposure to toxic materials such as antibiotics, x-ray dyes, or anesthetics
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance for getting a disease or condition. Risk factors that increase your chance of developing acute tubular necrosis include:
- Injury
- Trauma (Injury or trauma that damages the muscles)
- Surgery
- Blood transfusion
- Septic shock
- Shock
- Low blood pressure
- Liver disease or damage
- Drugs (aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine, tacrolimus)
- X-ray dye
- Blood transfusion reaction
Toxic chemicals:
This list is things produced by the body, maybe we also need to discuss toxic chemicals from elsewhere
- Crystals (uric acid, calcium phosphate)
- Myoglobin
- Hemaglobin
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to acute tubular necrosis. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
- Change in urine output
- General swelling, fluid retention
- Nausea, vomiting
- Dehydration
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include the following:
Blood tests
- creatinine
- electrolytes
- calcium
- magnesium
- phosphorus
- complete blood counts
- Urine tests (urinalysis, urine sodium, urea, osmolarity)
- Kidney biopsy
- Your doctor may need detailed pictures of your kidney. These can be made with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. In addition to good nutritional support and fluid , treating underlying condition, dietary changes, treatment options include the following:
Dialysis , in which a machine does the work of your kidneys by purging waste from your body.
Certain medications (eg, furosemide, bumetanide, mannitol, fenoldopam, auriculin anaritide, and synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide) may reduce the need for dialysis in certain people with acute tubular necrosis.
The following measures may help reduce your chances of developing acute tubular necrosis:
Promptly treating conditions that can lead to decreased blood flow as well as decreased oxygen to the kidneys
- Take measures recommended by your doctor to prevent kidney damage caused by the dyes used in x-ray studies such as with the use of oral N-acetylcysteine or theophylline.
- Mostly this is accomplished by increasing fluids
- Take certain drugs when using medications such as aminoglycosides or cisplatin, which are associated with kidney damage. Not sure what this means. What I know or was able
- to read indicates that using them less often and monitoring levels is how to do this. I don't know that there are drugs that can prevent this. I checked GRU's 1 and 2
- Use calcium channel blockers after having a kidney transplant .

I didn't see this coming but it kinda makes sense. Nelly has a great comparison saying, "She knows how to use controversy to boost her career!" (Aint that the truth) He also says, "Miley's a great talent. She's young, ambitious and wants to do it her way. Madonna did it her way, and she became one of the greatest female entertainers of all time!"
Do you agree with Nelly or is this, "Just A Dream?"

By: Zoe Sobel, FOX32 News Intern
(CHICAGO) - Since early Tuesday morning, the most popular member of Chicago is the Stanley Cup. This is the second time in four years that Lord Stanley has called Chicago home.
The Stanley Cup- also called the Holy Grail, the Cup, or Lord Stanley's Mug-is the championship trophy for the National Hockey League (NHL). Champions get to keep the cup until a new champion is crowned. It is one of the most impressive trophies in sports, standing three feet high and weighing 35 pounds.
Over the years, Lord Stanley's Cup has become steeped in history and tradition. Players will not touch the cup until they have won it. Furthermore, it is considered bad luck to touch the conference championship trophy before then. The players believe that they have not yet won anything. They are still working towards the true prize: The Stanley Cup.
Since 1995, each player has been allowed to take the cup for about 24 hours with one or more white-gloved Cup Keepers. The Keepers help to protect the cup and make sure that the players follow some simple rules.
Cup Keeper Howie Barrow has some road rules for the Stanley Cup:
1-Bring It Home By Midnight: This curfew is to protect the cup from any late-night mischief.
2- No Casinos or Strip Clubs: This rule came to be after Mark Messier (then a member of the New York Rangers) took the cup to a Manhattan strip club. The NHL does not want there to be any pictures that connect the cup with seediness.
3- Don't Get It Wet: When on water Lord Stanley must wear a life jacket. The cup does not float which was discovered when it was thrown into the pool Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Mario Lemieux in 2009.
4- No Sky Diving: The NHL does not want to risk the cup falling from 12,000 ft. It is insured for $1.5 million.
5-No Heavy Lifting: Fans are allowed to touch and even kiss the trophy, but only those who have won the cup are allowed to lift it above their head.
The Cup will be on display at the Blackhawks Parade and Rally Friday, June 22nd, in Grant Park. You can track its further adventures on the Hockey Hall of Fame Website.

Let's face it most of us need a little extra motivation to keep up with our fitness goals. It's easy to slip into the routine of not doing what you were planning to do. Yesterday the National Bike Challenge officially wrapped up for 2013, but it will be back next year. So start making the commitment now to be a better biker next year! There are a lot of great places you can explore from your bicycle seat.
And the National Bike Challenge, NBC, awards you points for each time you ride your bike from May 1st through September 30th. Are the points really worth anything? No, but they can still be a great motivator to keep you active. You can see your point total online and see how you are doing in regard to other NBC members.
This year 34,528 riders logged more than 18 Million miles riding bikes all around the country. When you stop and think about that, it's a pretty good accomplishment. Not only is there the exercise benefit, it is also estimated that more than 2 million dollars in commuting costs were saved.
You can ride by yourself or be on a team, and this year my team finished first in the small team division for the state of Minnesota. Our ten riders rode for over 16,500 miles this summer, and everyone on our team will tell you the NBC was a big reason they rode so much.
This is one of the best times of the year to ride, so make it a point to dust off that bike and get out on the trail. While your riding enjoying the fall colors, make the commitment to ride the NBC in 2014. It's free, easy and I guarantee you will ride more than you did this past year!

Very good quality. I bought them for my wife and she really likes them. June 9, 2013
Just beautiful! I purchased this for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. She said it was beautiful and the pink was one of her favorite colors. I have purchased some other items for her because she is allergic to so many things and only wears cotton garments. She has been happy with everything so far. That is saying alot, because she is hard to buy for. May 13, 2013
Great product & service! This being my first purchase - but not my last- I will tell my friends how very pleased I am with the gown I purchased as a Christmas gift! The gown is lovely and exactly what I had anticipated it would be. It arrived damaged via the USP service 3 days before Christmas. The lady that answered my phone call in your service dept. was very courteous and said she would have a replacement shipped via FED-X, at no charge to me,to arrive before Christmas. It did and I was so pleased to be able to give it to my friend on Christmas Day. I can not praise your employees and thank them enough for the great service they gave me! Virginia Rechner January 3, 2013
A disappointment I've been wanting to try these all cotton gowns for a long time, finally I ordered 2 of them in Large to allow for shrinkage (usually I'm a Medium) and first, the Large was not exactly roomy, I was worried that with normal shrinkage it would be uncomfortably small. Second, I was really disappointed in the cotton fabric: it was stiff, scratchy feeling, nothing like cotton. It felt and looked like it had been folded into that plastic bag for a very long time, and the fabric had got old and really it was just not something I'd wear, no matter what size the gown was. So sorry for this bad review, but it's the truth of the matter... December 10, 2012

My comfort level in doing business with the Santander Bank in Windsor, CT, at the Windsor Shopping Center continually increases. The reasons for this are as follows:
1. I have never seen so many professionals in one operation, who know what they are doing, and do it in a cordial, relaxed manner! It is obvious to me that this team of people, and it is a team, the members of which interact very smoothly with each other in a consistently cordial manner, are at the top of their "game!" They are secure in their respective roles, because they know what they are doing, and they know that they know!
Another outstanding characteristic of the dynamics at this bank is this! They are "crisis oriented" and by that I mean that when you bring them what you perceive to be a crisis, they handle it very well, without getting rattled and do show respect for the person in crisis, even when the customer is rattled!
Lastly, I am always impressed by the fact that multiple solutions are always presented for your crisis and not always ones that will profit the bank only! Suffice it to say that, yes, I am a very satisfied customer/depositer/patron, however, you want to label me, that LOVES doing business with this bank, and, yes, I would definitely refer family, friends and associates to this branch of Santander Bank, located in the Windsor Shopping Center, Windsor Av, Windsor, CT! That branch is destined for continued success, long term!
All the best!
Joyce Christie-Taylor
I was with Sovereign, certainly going down hill at the end, when Santander took over. I do not think Santander sweats the details. So many little issues have been problematic. For instance, I tried online to order checks; they never came. I then had to order the checks twice--at the window with the help of a teller--before the checks finally came. I had a similar problem with turning down "overdraft" protection. How many times can I say, "No," "No. Thank you," and similar statements to someone on the phone?
The Sphere credit card, prompted initially at Santander, is laughable. I needed three calls and an online request before I could get an extra credit card for another user. Although I was promised the card in ten days, I had to wait for over three months. Only after my third call, did someome notice that there was a computer issue. Once Alex was involved, she called me back, told me the issue had been resolved, and I had the card in about a week.
A barrage of new tellers who do not know me, an array of new rules about how to fill out banking slips, and out of order ATMs on the weekend helped to fuel my annoyance. Maybe I just am becoming less tolerant of poor service.
Billpay seem to work well online and I like the Mobile App for my iPad. I also have always had polite folks on the other end of the phone, and just this week began noticing phone calls, greetings when I enter the bank, and even smiles when my banking transactions are finished. Perhaps training has finally kicked in.
I am suspicious of all of the "new" accounts that seem to change every six months, and I cannot get the Sphere Card automatic payments ever to be withdrawn properly from the Santander site. Santander should have hit the ground running when they officially took over. I think they are beginning to offer a little more service or maybe I am becoming immune to the issues. But a few individuals seem to be trying a little bit lately to make the transition better for customers. Finally.
I am a business customer of Santander USA. I was recently locked out of my account for reasons I couldn't understand, for days. Not simple to resolve since there is no 'log in help' button that gives you instantaneous options for resetting your password. You have to call Business Customer Service within business hours. Over the course of three days, I placed 9 phone calls, made one branch visit and spent 4 hours of my time over a password reset issue. In the 9 calls, I would often be cut off--calling the business number I'd end up in the personal banking number due to 'overflow' and then would be cut off in the transfer back. Twice when I got through, I was promised that I would be sent emails that would allow me to reset. The emails never arrived-nor were they in 'spam'. On a third contact the customer service person admitted they had not been able to get emails through over multiple email clients, had major problems since a website update, and that my log in problem was a technical issue on their end that had nothing to do with my log in attempts. He then promised me a 'special' email that would reflect his escalation of my problem to the tech sector. Again, jack sprat arrived.
I should add that I am generally polite patient and understanding and it is a rare experience for me to alienate customer service staff. However, I lost it on the third day/fourth live contact when once again I was promised an email and denied contact with a supervisor after I explained I had been down that road before and needed resolution now. I told the rep I considered this to be a material breach of my bank contract since I did not have reasonable access to my money. Those are the magic words: material breach! Magically an email allowing me to reset my password appeared 10 minutes later.
It is a password reset people. Not rocket science. I will be changing my bank at the first opportunity.

Our scheduled C section is only 7 days away at 38 weeks and 3 days! This pregnancy has been SO enjoyable and... night and day different from my last. I thought I would be such a stress case this time, so I allowed myself certain liberties that I didn't with my son's pregnancy. I even rode my horse until about 21 weeks, though I rode like a grandma. I've enjoyed warm baths without looking at a stupid thermometer. I eat what I want. It's been long and boring and bliss! Our worst problem has been low-normal fluid levels for the last few weeks, but it appears to not be lowering.
I go back in Friday for a final check, then Tuesday is baby girl's birthday! Anyone have any tips or comments for the next week, special things to pack, the C section, or breastfeeding? It will be nice to actually be awake during this C section, especially without the mag bag to follow! And nice to get to have my husband there. I hope my pain will be controlled enough to allow me to try to breastfeed. I couldn't sit up for 2-3 days after my last, which they say was because of the pre-e & HELLP. I know it can take awhile for the milk to come in following a section... I guess they just bottle feed the baby until I catch up? How long do they wait until they bottle feed?

As sports fans and media, we're conditioned to look at the obvious. For example, we know that a baseball team with good starting pitching is much more likely to have a good season and win a championship.
The same goes for football. A team with an above average/solid quarterback is more likely to have success then one that doesn't. Unfortunately for Minnesota Vikings fans, this seems to be a yearly trip on the emotional carousel. It ranges from "the one we have sucks" to "the one we have REALLY sucks)". And to be honest, fans have a right to be upset with the quality they've seen from their first round draft choice from 2011, Christian Ponder.
I don't judge NFL preseason success on wins and losses. To do that is ignorant and ill informed. I want to see progress. Is someone getting better? And the answer for the first two games was no. I didn't see any progression from the young Vikings quarterback. This continued into the first four series of the preseason game vs. San Francisco. But then something happened. Maybe a small glimmer of hope for Vikings fans.
NBC color analyst Cris Collinsworth made an interesting observation (and one I've been hoping to see) when he noticed Christian Ponder was staying in the pocket a bit longer. I'd been begging for this. It's maddening watching a quarterback who gets happy feet in the pocket not calmly look through his reads and make a confident, strong throw. If he and the team are going to take the "next step" he's got to up his game, and the team knows this.
Just by looking at Ponder's numbers (17-23, 116 yards, two touchdowns and an interception), one would say it's an average outing. And to his defense the interception wasn't his fault as Stephen Burton stopped running his route. But after going immediately to his comfort zone, which is the one yard Tight End check down, he stayed put and didn't immediately run outside the numbers. And when he did a funny thing happened. He started putting a little more zip on the ball and delivered it more confidently because let's be honest, his body language doesn't exactly exude swagger and confidence.
Kudos to Vikings Offensive Coordinator Bill Musgrave for acknowledging that he needs to get more out of his quarterback, and the bootleg to the right can be easily neutralized if that's all you have. I'm not saying Ponder is the answer, but maybe the light bulb is starting to go on?
Everyone can see the Vikings need to find a way to get more from their quarterback. Musgrave came in with a reputation as a quarterback guru and has developed Matt Schaub and Matt Ryan we're waiting for him to do the same in Minnesota. The question still remains, is it the artist, or is it the clay?

This sentence makes me cringe – "Daddy, I'm bored". I hear that a lot during the summer break when my kids are out of school and the easiest way to get the 'un-bored' is to get them outside. National Trust has released a list of 50 outdoor activities every kid needs to experience.

So I was wrong.
I mentioned just recently, as I pondered whether I should see another film, that I am not particularly a fan of the 3D format. It just seemed like a Hollywood flavor of the month and a needless contrivance. I literally didn't see what all the fuss was about.
Then, I saw Star Trek Into Darkness… in IMAX 3D.
Now, don't worry if you haven't seen it. I promise I can discuss the experience without giving anything away. No spoilers here.
I've tried for three days to muster an adjective that properly describes this movie experience. I can't do it. It's the most extraordinary film I have ever seen. I have certainly had emotional reactions to movies; I am man enough to acknowledge that Braveheart and Toy Story 3 moved me to tears. I have had my mind race at thrillers like The Usual Suspects and Identity, and my heart race at the chase scenes in Bullitt and Skyfall. I have jumped at the suspense movies and covered my eyes at the gory ones. However, I have never had the physical reaction – the visceral reaction – I had to this one.
I need to back up for a moment. I am a great lover of the Star Wars saga and seeing the first film had truly opened my eyes to what movies could be. I had high hopes in December 1979 when Star Trek: The Motion Picture hit the theater. While critically panned at the time, and universally reviled as the worst of the series since, it was a ground-breaking visual display. Seriously, go back and look at it – it's stunning, especially considering those effects are nearly old enough to run for president now. The "villain" is uniquely compelling and the acting – the most understated of the entire Star Trek universe – is quite good. Unfortunately, it's ponderous and just doesn't have "it." It remains roundly underrated but, as even the gifted-and-talented class must have a student graduate last, it is indeed the worst of the batch.\
Back to now, the tradition of jaw-dropping visuals goes up several notches. Since it's been in every trailer and commercial, I'm OK mentioning the chase through the "red jungle." Just the difference between what you've seen of it on TV and the final 3D cut is nothing short of mind-blowing. The elements of nature alone – sparks of volcano lava, bubbles in water, billows in clouds, debris in space – are enough to win me over to the format. The effects that relate more directly to the plot go well beyond that. No superlative can adequately quantify the look of this movie in IMAX 3D.
The care that J.J. Abrams has taken with this franchise is remarkable. He has deftly walked an impossible tightrope, simultaneously honoring the past while embarking on a unique future. Abrams has taken some elements – some big, some small – and reused them as they were, juxtaposed others, turned still others completely on end, and woven them with just enough new. With the acting, writing and directing, Star Trek Into Darkness captures the magic – the "it" – that Star Trek: The Motion Picture could not. It also cements my confidence in the director to take on the Star Wars mantle.
Thanks to Abrams and IMAX 3D, the mission continues "to boldly go where no one has gone before."

The interdisciplinary minor in film/media studies will encourage students to become media literate and will foster creative engagement with the world. It will accomplish this goal by advancing awareness of media's effect on perceptions of critical social issues and by fostering both creative and practical skills of production and management. Courses in the minor address film form and aesthetics, the history and politics of cinema and television, the business of film and media, multimedia production, and graphic computer arts.
Spring 2014 Courses
ILC: Telling Stories through Movies and Media
This Intermediate Learning Community pairs hands-on multimedia shooting and production with film analysis and criticism. Students will watch and analyze films, discuss how film and media represent social issues, and learn to create and produce their own short video pieces. In the "film studies" half of the LC, students will study the technical language of film, its various genres, and the ways film relates to broader cultural and political contexts. In the "media production" half of the LC, students will learn how to guide a nonfictional story from project planning, to capturing audio, video and photography, to editing that content into short multimedia pieces, and finally to promoting those pieces online. Each student will create a WordPress website that will serve as the platform for critical analysis and productions for both classes.
EN 230 (W) (F) Introduction to Film, Professor Thomas, Tuesday and Thursday 2:40-4:10 p.m.
AR 240 (TC) Multimedia Production and Storytelling, Professor Mulé, Wednesday 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Special Topics: Master Class in Documentary Film Making

In developing these materials, focus will be on identifying approach, characters, story, and potential audience. The course will provide basic instruction in camera, sound and editing, as well as an overview of the range of current approaches to documentary, including screenings and discussions of excerpts from landmark and recent films.
AR 291 - 02 Special Topics: Documentary Film Making, Professor Miller, Tuesday 6:00-9:00 p.m.

I Love My Pit Bull
National Pit Bull Day celebrates this misunderstood breed

actually there is an American Pit Bull Terrier breed in UKC and I *think* in the rare breed registry. The AKC equivalent is the AmStaff. If you go to a UKC conformation show, you will see lots of them - they may be the #1 breed registered with UKC. A good opportunity to see what they are really like!

I have a pit and worked in a no kill shelter with many pit bulls...they were all extremely smart and took to our obedience classes like naturals...however two of my favorites are still available for adoption due to the ignorance of society. My pit is by far the most obedient, loyal, and sensitive out of my three dogs (rottie and shep/lab). The only two times I was bitten by a dog, they were each under 5 pounds!

"Those dogs are horrible and should be banned." I wish I could say these words were spat out by complete strangers, but in fact, they were friendly acquaintances, which meant I had to keep listening to them instead of shrugging it off as the senseless mutterings of a crazy person. Truly, it was one of those do-you-not-know-me-at-all moments."
All that means is that those friendly acquantances also need to be shrugged off as senseless mutterings of crazy people.....=) Just cause their acquaintances doesn't make em safe-n-sane.....

Pit bulls are the sweetest, most loving and loyal dogs I have ever run across without being clingy. I did have a rott/beagle mix who was amazing also.

I loved this article. I wish more people would get educated about these dogs. I currently have 2 and am now expecting, people keep asking what I'm going to do with the dogs? And I ask what do they mean, they say well they are pitbulls. And I have to inform them just how well they do with children. One day these dogs will hopefully come out on top. All thanks to these wonderful rescues.

Technically, they are American Staffordshire Terriers. Wonderful, loyal, gentle dogs who have gotten a bad rap because of irresponsible humans. I know several I would trust with my life. Hopefully, word will get out that these are NOT dangerous or bad dogs; just victims of some of the humans they've been unlucky enough to come in contact with.

Just a slight correction...the three official breeds that are lumped into the term "pit bull" are American Staffordshire Terriers (as you've suggested), Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers. There are other breeds that are often mistaken for these other breeds and also lumped into the term "pit bull". I just wanted to add to your post, not contradict or cause tension. Just education.
I am owned by two Am-Staff mixes and don't actually care what they are except that they are 100% amazing, not dangerous and are really...just dogs. MY dogs.

I loved your article. I am an "accidental" pit bull owner - I met a 7 month old pup that was scheduled for euthanization at our county shelter and could not let that happen. I tried to find a rescue group to take him, and of course there are so many of these dogs in need that I ended up keeping him. My gain. I love my little 64 pound bundle of love and muscle - he is such a comedian, and a great snuggler. Strange how having one of these dogs instantly turned me into an advocate. I want everyone to see how friendly he is, so I walk him frequently in public areas of my community. I get some judgemental looks, and a few awful comments, but have found that most people are completely taken by my wiggly tail-wagging dog. That's what he is - a wonderful dog.

What a great article! I laughed out loud when reading "This song is reserved for belly rub time after I've amused myself by shouting, "Get the pit! Now the other pit!" as I vigorously scratch under her arm pits." I can definitely relate!
Our pit, Lotus (aka Baby), is the most beautiful, loving rescue dog ever. She loves to play with our godchildren, and most of the day she sleeps surrounded by one (or all) of our four cats.
Thus far, every pit we've met has been goofy and loving like our Lotus, even if, like her, they were abused in early life. Now that they have safe, stable, loving homes, their true nature shows -- and they love everybody!

Thank you so much for articles such as this. My boyfriend and I have an American Staffordshire Terrier (Junior), and his parents have a Pit Bull Terrier (Hooch) & an Am Staff (Rocky) as well. All three are the most loving, loyal and friendliest dogs that I have ever seen. I've brought Junior to my softball games and I can't count how many people (including children) have pet him & told me how wonderful & beautiful he is. My roommate has twin 7 yr old girls & they love playing outside with Junior all the time :). Never once have I had to worry about him around the girls. My bf's nephew is 9 months old & Hooch loves to give him kisses all the time! Thanks again for this article & for supporting these wonderful dogs :)

I own a beautiful red/fawn Pit named Brandy, whom I also call 'Honey Bear' or just 'Bear'. I adopted her in February 2011 and just absolutely adore her. She had no life before coming to live with me. No walks, no play time, no love. She was leashed to a stairway railing all day because she would get into trouble when the owners weren't home. The only reason she did this, was because she didn't get any exercise or attention and was bored. She was also abused. Thrown through walls and slapped around. Saddens me to think about her life, before she came to be with me. She also has allergies and was always itchy, and had scratched a large amount of her hair out. Due to this she was a bit scabby and had raw, red skin.

I was lucky enough to be rescued by Kalli (AKA Wiggle. E. Butt) a Black with white trim 2yr old AmStaff about a yr ago. She was hours away from being put to sleep in a NV. shelter but thanks to some wonderful people she was pulled out of there for me. Then was shipped to the west coast to be with me in her forever home.

I lost my pit bull, Mischief, on Monday 12/26. She was 13 years old. Mischief was my first pit bull--I went to the shelter back in 99 looking for a yellow lab type dog; instead, Mischief picked me to take her home. I fell in love with her right away and she became my best, inseperable friend. When I took her in, I was 23 and really had no idea of the troubles I would encounter later and the looks I would get when I told people I had a pit. But, I was loyal to my dog as she was to me, and we made it through 13 years of always finding a place to live and we found other supportive pit families. There is always a way when there's a will. I grew SO PROUD to tell people that yes, my girl IS a pit. I like to think that because of her, many people i knew otherwise would have kept the bad stereotypes in their mind, but after meeting her at our home, and seeing that she was a silly clown and a lover, left with good experiences and saw she was a sweet, affectionate best friend like any other, alebit stronger and bigger than some LOL.

Thank you for this great article. Those of us who know the love and goofy nature of pits understand how amazing these dogs are. We have rescued two pit bulls who have faced enormous challenges from people, one taught to fight and the other used as a bait dog. They are both extraordinary dogs who are now the most lovable, kind, sweet-hearted souls. After spending time with trainers and people who care, our two pits are the loves of our lives. Thank you for spreading the awareness.

Thanks for this lovely article. I hope people re-post it and share it like crazy. We don't have a pitt, but we do have an English Bull Terrier - you know a little tank with a big egg head! So many people think she is some sort of pitt and they react negatively. You can't convert everyone, but we try. In our house, our Carmen is a love bug and comedian and she has such a lovely life. She is super gentle with her 16-year-old terrier deaf and blind "dog uncle" and we couldn't be happier with her. Thanks again for writing about the merits of bull-breeds.

i couldnt agree with you more. My 2 pitts are amazing. And they LOVE LOVE all children and all other animals. I was never a dog person by any means. Then, i met my boyfriend who had a pit. The moment i met this beautiful pit named "Blue" he had me wrapped. Blue has passed and we got 2 more together. Daisy and Levi, and i couldnt ask for a better love. They are 100 percent love and happiness, and they are my world....

I also have a great pitt, her name is buffy and she is a beautiful red. She is not the perfectly behaved dog but but she is a well behaved dog. She is my perfect friend. She loves people and runs with other dogs with no issues, shes alot of fun and loves me and my family completely. It would never enter her head that a person may hurt her, and I hope she never has to experience it xx

A storm that forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books began clobbering the New York-to-Boston corridor on Friday, grounding flights, closing workplaces and sending people rushing to get home ahead of a possible 1 to 3 feet of snow.
From New Jersey to Maine, shoppers crowded into supermarkets and hardware stores to buy food, snow shovels, flashlights and generators, something that became a precious commodity after Superstorm Sandy in October. Others gassed up their cars, another lesson learned all too well after Sandy. Across much of New England, schools closed well ahead of the first snowflakes.
"This is a storm of major proportions," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino warned. "Stay off the roads. Stay home."
By Friday evening, Boston had just 2.5 inches of snow and New York City had just 2, but parts of southeastern Massachusetts had more than 6 inches and central Rhode Island had more than 8.
The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New York-to-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work. But it could also mean a weekend cooped up indoors.
Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine. The National Weather Service said Boston could get close to 3 feet of snow by Saturday evening, while most of Rhode Island could receive more than 2 feet, with most of it falling overnight Friday into Saturday. Connecticut was bracing for 2 feet, and New York City was expecting as much as 14 inches.
By Friday evening, the New York-to-Boston corridor was experiencing blizzard-like conditions, with blowing, swirling snow and freezing rain. Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries.
Forecasters said wind gusts up to 75 mph could cause widespread power outages and whip the snow into fearsome drifts. Flooding was expected along coastal areas still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, which hit New York and New Jersey the hardest and is considered Jersey's worst natural disaster.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, of Weather Underground, said the winter storm was a collision of two storms and may end up among the Boston area's Top 5 most intense ever.
Thursday's bout of rain, sleet, ice and snow across the Chicago area tied up traffic, left hundreds of flights delayed or canceled, and left some north suburbanites digging out of nearly 10 inches of snow, while making driving and walking treacherous for Chicagoans and suburbanites alike.
And by early next week, the snow, sleet and ice could be just a memory, as temperatures are expected to rise.
Snowfall amounts varied widely, according to the National Weather Service. The highest reported snowfall was in Beach Park, where 9.6 inches fell, the weather service reported on Friday. High snowfall amounts were reported across the far north and northwest suburbs, according to the weather service. Lake Villa saw 8.8 inches; Woodstock, 8 inches; Gurnee, 7.8 inches; Mundelein, 7.1 inches, and Highwood, 6.4 inches. Closer to the city, 2.1 inches was reported in Lincolnwood, and just under 2-inches fell in Oak Park. The official snowfall total for Chicago in the 24-hour period from 7 a.m. Thursday to 7 a.m. Friday, taken at O'Hare International Airport, was 1.5 inches, according to the weather service.
The conditions caused airlines to cancel more than 225 flights at O'Hare, where delays averaged 60 minutes, according to the city Department of Aviation. Midway International Airport reported "a dozen" flights delayed 30 minutes or more with minor cancellations. Flight cancellations continued into Friday at Chicago's two airports, but these were the result of a big storm that was expected to bear down on the East Coast.
Hector Gonzalez's flight to Puerto Rico was just one of nearly 5,000 flights cancelled across the country.
"Due to the storm, I'm delayed until tomorrow morning at5:30am because they cancelled the flight. It's just weather. You can't do anything about weather," Gonzalez says.
Fidencio Leija is traveling from Houston to Miami but thewinter storm derailed his itinerary.
"I said what am I going to do while I'm here so many hours so I sent a message on Facebook to a good friend of mine that I've known since '03 but we haven't seen each other since 2008," Leija says of his time at the airport. "The airline says because of the flights that were comingin from New York and different places, those flights were delayed which in turndelayed my flight so it's like a domino, we can say a snowball effect right, sonow I'm struggling."
"I thought I'd share some time here while he waits to go to sun in Miami," Maria Morales says.
Snow showers were expected in far southeast Cook County and Lake County, Indiana Friday afternoon, with one to two inches expected on the Illinois side of the border and up to three inches possible in Lake County, according to the weather service.
While temperatures will be seasonal on Saturday, with highs in the mid-30s and lows in the 20s, Sunday could bring rain or more freezing rain in the morning, with all rain in the afternoon. Highs will be in the lower 40s, but it will be blustery, with gusts up to 35 mph.
