You can nurture the future of our Quaker faith by including FGC in your estate plans. Gifts such as bequests in wills, charitable gift annuities, and various trusts enable you to make a tax-wise gift with lasting impact. Some gifts can provide income for you and/or your loved ones for life.
Planned or deferred gifts are financial arrangements that enable you to make a contribution now that will support FGC in the future. Friends of modest means are often surprised to discover that they can give far more generously through their estates with planned giving than they could throughout their lifetime.
What plan is best for you depends upon your financial situation and your charitable goals. Our Stewardship Services Program can provide you with valuable assistance in illustrating an approach that addresses your unique circumstances and goals. Below are several common ways to work with us to arrange planned gifts to support Friends General Conference.
Bequests & Legacy Gifts
Stewardship is an important concept among Friends, and support for our Society is one of its hallmarks. A bequest is one of the easiest ways to engage in good stewardship and support FGC with lasting impact. Including FGC in your bequest plan, along with your family members, can help you fulfill practical and spiritual goals together.
Life Income Gifts
A life income plan from FGC allows you to make a gift to FGC and get income for yourself or loved ones from the assets. How do we do it? The proceeds from your gift are invested for as long as you are living. The income is paid to you or your designated beneficiaries. FGC receives all or a portion of the remainder of the assets at your death.
Stewardship Assistance
Friends General Conference now offers all Friends education in stewardship and confidential consultation in the areas of financial, retirement, and estate planning, as well as guidance in the area of stewardship investing from a peace church perspective through our Stewardship Services Program.
Friends General Conference will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding planned giving. Our Stewardship Services Program, in partnership with Friends Fiduciary Corporation and Everence, will be pleased to work with you to create a plan that balances your financial and philanthropic goals. The results of such planning can provide you and your loved ones with many benefits and have a lasting impact on FGC and other charities of your choice.
Everence is a Mennonite financial services organization. FGC and Everence are working in partnership through FGC's Stewardship Services Program to provide a wide range of estate and financial planning services to Friends.
FGC is not a financial, legal or tax advisor. Please consult with your own advisors regarding your financial, legal, or tax needs to make certain that a contemplated gift fits well into your overall circumstances and planning. The discussion and examples in this section are for illustrative and educational purposes only and are not a solicitation or offer.

With transformers blowing all around us, live wires electrifying the swollen flood waters, Jamaica Bay's waves rippling over cross bay boulevard, and car alarms momentarily piercing through the whistling winds, one thing slipped my mind at the Surfside Motel in Howard Beach, Queens, once Superstorm Sandy had finally passed by us: to return my room key.
Six months later, we were back and we were happy to see that so is the Surfside Motel, which is looking better than before the storm.
Motel manager Anthony Vicari has been working virtually around the clock since October. Crews have transformed floors from carpet to epoxy and walls from plaster to stone, making them a little more waterproof just in case the surfside gets blindsided again.
Reconstruction cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Managers say they got virtually no help from FEMA or anyone else in the federal government.
But now the surfside, turned upside down for a time, is right-side up.

The Georgia Dome is preparing for the biggest Atlanta Falcons home game in history. The Falcons take on the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC Championship and a spot in the Super Bowl on Sunday.Workers spent part of Thursday spray-painting and pulling up stencils to reveal the Dirty Bird's logo on the playing field."There's only two NFL games this weekend, and we're hosting one of them. And I think if you ask any of the other stadiums, they'd love to be in our shoes and hosting that game this weekend," said Georgia Dome spokesman Jason Kirksey. Kirksey says that while Atlanta has hosted some pretty big games before, including a Super Bowl in 2000, this will be the biggest game yet for the Falcons."This is the biggest game we've ever hosted with the Atlanta Falcons involved. We've had the divisional game. They've taken the next step, and now we're excited to host the NFC Championship," Kirksey said.The Falcons played for and won the NFC Championship back in 1998, but this is the first time they'll have the home field advantage."The one difference you'll see for this game is the NFC Championship. For the first time ever, we're painting that logo on the field," Kirksey said. When the Falcons take on the 49ers for the first time in two years, the Georgia Dome will be filled with more than 70,000 screaming fans cheering them on for a shot at the Super Bowl."We're used to hosting major events here. Having 70,000 people here is something we always enjoy. But for the first time we've be able to have a Super Bowl berth on the line," said Kirksey.If you can't make it the Dome, you can watch the big game on FOX 5 on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.

All of the accused educators charged in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal have bonded out of jail.Former D.H. Stanton principal Willie Davenport was the last of the 35 accused to surrender at Fulton County Jail. The 42-year-old had been turned away earlier Wednesday because there were too many errors in her warrant. "The jail personnel realized that the warrant that was issued for her arrest was actually issued for a black male with a different Social Security number. Obviously, they couldn't take her on that warrant," said Bob Rubin, Davenport's attorney. Rubin says the confusion put Davenport, who is currently battling cancer, on pins and needles. Prosecutors allege the 35 defendants of participating in a criminal cheating enterprise that included bonuses for phony scores on the 2009 CRCT tests.
CLICK HERE TO SEE MUG SHOTS OF APS EDUCATORS INDICTEDThe list of those indicted includes former national superintendent of the year Dr. Beverly Hall, who turned herself in late Tuesday. Hall faces four charges, including violation of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, false statements and writings, false swearing and theft by taking. She posted $200,000 bond was released late Tuesday. The next step for these educators will be an arraignment before a judge. That is when they will enter a plea before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter, who will preside over the cases and set those court dates.
CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF THOSE INDICTED AND THEIR CHARGESDefense attorney Bruce Harvey said he is ready to peel back the accusations and get to the truth."These folks have been under this cloud for years. This is their opportunity now to come to the public and defend themselves finally," Harvey said. Harvey says he wants Hall, his client Clarietta Davis and the 33 others to be tried just like they were indicted -- together as one case.A judicial case manager said that arraignments will likely happen at the end of April.

Creature Comforts—Fido's Best Friend in the End
By Lynn Ginsburg
Up until just a few years ago, people had one treatment option for their terminally ill pets—euthanasia—and the average veterinarian thought it better to get it over with sooner rather than later. But if Eleonora Babayants had listened to the veterinarian who advised her to put her dog Lima to sleep immediately, she and Lima would have lost out on their additional three years together. Instead of euthanasia, Babayants elected to care for Lima at home, using a relatively new program for dying pets called "pet hospice." Pet hospice allows a dying animal to live out the rest of its life at home, pain free and surrounded by its loved ones.
"Human hospice and pet hospice are very similar ideas, because pet hospice is modeled on human hospice programs," says Kathryn Marocchino, president and founder of Nikki Hospice Foundation for Pets, a nonprofit organization that links sympathetic veterinarians with pet owners and provides education and advocacy concerning pet hospice. "The basic tenet is that you live each day until you die, and you make the best of it. And in both humans and animals, making the best of it revolves around pain management," she says.
Veterinarians who are willing to work with individual clients to provide pet hospice at home can help train owners to deal with many of the day-to-day tasks that make caring for a dying pet so difficult. These include keeping the pet out of pain, teaching owners how to administer medications at home, even shots and IVs, instructing owners on how to keep wounds clean and prevent bedsores, and providing other suggestions to keep the pet comfortable.
"The pet owner needs a vet who is willing to support the owner with anything that may arise when taking care of a dying pet," Babayants says. "In the case of my vet, she was willing to provide the hospice care for me. She said, 'If it gets to the point where I need to come to the house and help, I will.'" Babayants says that although it was a bit intimidating for her, she learned how to give Lima fluids under the skin, administered shots, and learned what signs to look for to keep the dog out of pain. "The owner has to be willing to learn these basic medical techniques, but with the support of a vet who is willing to help, I found I could do anything I needed to," Babayants says.
Another option for pet hospice care is frequent in-home visits from people trained in end-of-life care, like the veterinary students who participate in the Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Pet Hospice program. From a medical point of view, it can be difficult and scary to have a terminally ill pet at home, according to Co-Team Manager of CSU's program, Christie Long, "especially if they require a lot of support, like administering fluids for rehydration, giving medications, keeping feeding tubes clean. It's so stressful for a sick animal to be brought into the clinic, so we can have a much less stressed pati...

Publication: theday.com
East Lyme — Sarah Rubelmann and Samantha Jann had just two minutes on Saturday to fill a Tri-Town Foods shopping cart with 12 items that would entice an eligible bachelor to pick one of them for a date.
The bachelor who was the subject of Ryan Kristafer's pilot taping of "Check It Out — the game show where you find love in a grocery store!" was Paul Falzone, 28, of North Haven. He was to pick the cart that most appealed to him before meeting the woman who filled it.
Kristafer, also known as The LIVE Game Guy, has aspirations to become the next Bob Barker and is well on his way.
He's currently the master of ceremonies for many of Mohegan Sun's live events and is also producer and host of his new web-based TV show. Saturday's episode of "Check It Out" will air later this week on www.LIVEGameGuy.com, and Kristafer said finding love in a grocery store is just the beginning.
"I have some ideas for other public places, like a gym," he said.
Kristafer found the three contestants for the pilot taping via social media and word-of-mouth advertising. He plans to tape subsequent episodes at other grocery stores or gyms throughout the state.
Falzone is a stage actor and musician who took to his keyboard during the taping of the show to sing his version of Lionel Richie's "Easy" right next to the carrots and cabbage.
"I play all kinds of music, jazz, rock, but I'm attempting to write my own music after years of procrastinating," he said. "I have very little knowledge of what's going to happen to me today, but I'm willing to go with it and have fun, which is how a date should be."
He said there was no better place to have the first taping of the show in a grocery store, where food is "more of a window to the soul than you would think."
Falzone already had an idea of the type of food he wanted to see in their carts.
"She has to like avocado. It's so refreshing, you could pretty much have avocado in any social situation, so that could tip off the type of person she is. That, and it's healthy," he said. "But I'm not a fan of sauerkraut at all. That's pretty much the only thing I don't like."
When the two women arrived at the store, Falzone was ushered away to wait until the shopping was done.
Samantha Jann, 23, of Unionville is a professional dancer and is looking for someone who is artistic and has a sense of humor. She said her biggest turn-off is a person who is closed-minded and isn't honest and upfront.
"My normal shopping cart is full of Goldfish, fruits and veggies and apple juice," she told Kristafer. "I'm kind of like a preschooler."
Jann filled her cart with chocolate ice cream, Goldfish, mozzarella cheese sticks, chocolate chip cookie dough, strawberries, a mango and salt-and-vinegar potato chips.
"It's more of a snack, dessert menu we're seeing here," Falzone said, surveying the cart's contents. "But it seems like random choices, I don't know what the Goldfish were all about."
Sarah Rubelmann, 26, of Southington is a special education teacher and said she is looking for someone who is intelligent, funny and sincere. She described herself as a "bit of a beer snob" and said she wouldn't want to be with anyone who isn't spontaneous.
She filled her cart with lettuce, ground hamburger, a red onion, an avocado, garlic, flowers, dried fruit, brownie mix, chocolate chips, flour and beer.
"I don't know what dish she was trying to go for, but there was chocolate, flowers and beer, which makes it seem like she had a whole date concept thought out, which was nice," Falzone said.
After a bit of deliberation — even though the avocado and beer sealed the deal — he picked Rubelmann's cart.
After finishing at Tri-Town, Rubelmann and Falzone left East Lyme and headed to Lucky Lou's Bar & Grill in Wethersfield for lunch. Although the two women didn't get to keep the food they filled their carts with, Jann received a $50 gift card to Tri-Town and stayed to do some shopping.
At Lucky Lou's, a camera was set up to record Rubelmann and Falzone's first date, and they were left alone to get to know each other. Some of the footage from their lunch date will make the final taping of the show, Kristafer said.
"But whatever happens after that is up to them," he said.
Shortly after Falzone picked Rubelmann's cart, they were separated and each asked to film their reactions to meeting one another.
"I'm very happy. ... I think Sarah is very well put together and she loves beer, so she seems like someone who's up for having a good time and a bit of fun," Falzone said of Rubelmann.
"I had fun, this isn't something I'd normally do, so I'm glad I did it," Rubelmann said. "He's showered and doesn't look like a serial killer."

Allen Davis believes that art can be and should be combined with functionality. His work has value for buyers because he focuses on function. Creating artful one-of-a-kind items from natures bounty with a utilitarian purpose seems to Allen to be the best of both worlds--practical, yet beautiful works of art. Allen's segmented pieces have become his signature. "When designing a precision-cut pattern, I like to incorporate as many wood species as possible to lend complexity with balance and symmetry. I am inspired by spalted patterns, a result of decomposing cell structure; natures primitive effects on wood reveal unique designs that I use with modern materials and methods. I find it very satisfying that 80% of my wood is recycled from waste bins of other woodworkers." Now known for his focus on polychromatic segmented woodturning, Davis latest series involves the use of native hardwoods, (cut from his own 10-acre NC hardwood rain forest) layered alternately with imported exotic hardwoods. New raw materials come from a fellow woodworker, a countertop laminator, who often donates a mysterious collection of exotic wood dropcuts from his waste bin. (His friend had always paid a waste management company to haul these away for burning.) Supporting conservation, the leftovers will become cutting boards, custom writing instruments and desk tools. Even the smallest cuts can be used creatively. Thus, GREENCRAFT products from Winchester Woodworks gain much more significance in this era of eco-friendly practices. Each unique vessel pieced from precision-cut segments reflects his evolving style with new color, pattern, and textural variety.

LONDON (Reuters) - Aviva
Aviva USA Corporation, a provider of life insurance and annuities, is being bought by Athene Holding, a specialist life insurer majority-owned by U.S. private equity company Apollo, Aviva said on Friday.
The sale price is below the $2.9 billion that Aviva paid for the U.S. business in 2006, but the insurer said the deal would make it financially stronger by reducing capital requirements and cutting its exposure to volatile credit investments.
Aviva's economic capital surplus - the amount by which its capital reserves exceed its requirements - will rise by 1.1 billion pounds ($1.79 billion), the company said.
"The disposal of the U.S. business represents a successful end to the year and sets us up well for 2013," Aviva chairman John McFarlane said in a statement.
Aviva shares were down 0.5 percent by 5:55 a.m. ET, against a 0.8 percent fall in the STOXX 600 European insurance share index <.SXIP>. The stock has risen 27 percent since the start of the year, lagging a 33 percent gain for the sector.
The U.S. sale forms part of a plan launched by Aviva in July to sell or close 16 businesses that tie up over a third of the insurer's capital while contributing just 18 percent of operating profit.
Aviva has so far also jettisoned part of its stake in Dutch insurer Delta Lloyd
The reorganization, drawn up by McFarlane, came after investors forced out chief executive Andrew Moss, who had overseen a 60 percent fall in Aviva's share price during his five-year tenure.
Mark Wilson, formerly chief executive of Asian life insurer AIA, takes over the top job at Aviva on January 1, the insurer said last month.
Aviva USA accounted for about 9 percent of Aviva's total operating profit last year. Proceeds from the sale will be $1.55 billion once debt is repaid, Aviva said.

No. 7 Gonzaga (20-2, 7-0) visits San Diego (11-11, 4-3) Saturday at 8:00 p.m. in San Diego. The game takes place in the Jenny Craig Pavilion, and will be televised on ESPNU.
The Stats - On the season San Diego is the second best defensive team in the West Coast Conference to Gonzaga, allowing 64.7 points per game. That's due in part to their 'D' around the perimeter. The Zags go from torching the worst team in WCC play at defending the three, to the best. League foes have only hit 27 of 112 attempts agains the Toreros. GU hit 13 Thursday against Loyola Marymount. One thing USD doesn't do particularly well is take care of the ball. They rank 256th in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio at .82. They've had at least 13 turnovers in seven straight games, and 11 or more in 12 consecutive.
The Stars - San Diego doesn't quite have the firepower that the Zags boast. Six-foot guard Johnny Dee averages 14.4 points, and is their only player above the double-digit plateau in WCC games at 12.7. Dee has had at least a share of USD's high-scoring honors in 14 of their 22 games. He is just shy of 40 percent from three, and is the best free throw shooter in the conference at 90 percent. As for the visitors, they showed how difficult it can be to guess where their scoring will come from on Thursday. Gary Bell Jr. broke out of a slump, hitting five threes in the first half to reach double digits for the first time in six games. Meanwhile, Drew Barham exploded for 13 points. USD's defense around the arc should keep from another three-point assault. While the Toreros do have five players between 6'9" and 6'11", few teams have had much success slowing down Kelly Olynyk and Elias Harris. They combined for just 23 at LMU simply because the perimeter guys had the game in control. It will be awfully tough for USD to contain Kevin Pangos and company, while limiting GU's efficient duo down low.
The Storylines - The biggest connection between the programs will stroll the sideline for San Diego. Bill Grier spent 16 years as an assistant at GU, the last eight under Mark Few. Grier has only beaten his former team once, when USD topped Gonzaga in the 2008 Tournament championship. Gonzaga has claimed the other 10 meetings since Grier took over in 2007. Overall, the Bulldogs have grabbed victories in 30 of their last 32 showdowns, including 24 straight in the regular season. The Toreros have a tall task ahead of them if they hope to prove their 4-0 WCC start wasn't a fluke, and avoid a fourth straight loss Saturday.

Tito Ortiz vs. Antônio Rogério Nogueira UFC 140 Fight Video
At UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira defeated Tito Ortiz via ground and pound stoppage. The end came at 3:15 in round 1 after Lil' Nog unleashed a series of elbows to Ortiz's ribs. This Light Heavyweight fight was the third bout on the PPV card. This was Tito's second loss since his upset victory over Ryan Bader this summer. Nogueira snaps a 2 fight losing streak here and improves his UFC record to 3-2.
This looked like it would be a battle of Ortiz's ground and pound and wrestling vs. Nogueira's boxing, and that is exactly how it played out. They started by exchanging on the feet, with Tito holding his own. But Nogueira clipped him with a right hand, then followed up with some nasty knees to the body that visibly hurt Ortiz and dropped him. On the ground, Nogueira maintained ground position and used elbows to Tito's ribcage to get the stoppage. Immediately after the fight ended, it was clear that Nog's body attack was seriously damaging, as Ortiz was in a lot of pain.

Claude Patrick vs. Brian Ebersole UFC 140 Fight Video
At UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida, Brian Ebersole barely squeaked by Claude Patrick to take a split decision victory. Judges' scorecards had it 29-28, 29-28, and 28-29. This Welterweight fight was the 2nd on the PPV card, and was the only PPV fight to go the distance. Ebersole is now undefeated in the Octagon on a three fight win streak, while Patrick earns just the 2nd loss of his MMA career. He is now 14-2 overall, 3-1 in the UFC.

Krzysztof Soszynski vs Igor Pokrajac UFC 140 Fight Video
At UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida, Igor Pokrajac blitzed Krzysztof Soszynski, stopping the veteran in just 35 seconds via knockout. This was a Light Heavyweight fight, and was the last fight on the ION prelims. Pokrajac has won 3 of his last 4 inside the Octagon; Soszinski sees a two fight win streak come to an end here.
I have to admit, I was not looking forward to this fight much, thinking it would be a relatively basic affair. I was wrong. Pokrajac has shown he is a finisher in the past, and he proved it again here with this fast win, leaving his veteran opponent out cold unconscious after a barrage of punches. No one has dominated Soszynski like this since he fought Heavyweight Ben Rothwell in the IFL back in 2007. Just a fantastic showing for Pokrajac.

Mark Hominick vs. Chan Sung Jung UFC 140 Fight Video
At UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida, Chan Sung Jung shocked Mark Hominick, knocking the former #1 contender out in just 7 seconds. The fast KO officially tied Todd Duffee's KO of Tim Hague for fastest knockout in UFC history. This was the opening PPV bout on UFC 140. Hominick has now lost 2 in a row, while The Korean Zombie is now 2-0 in the UFC.
Even those who picked Jung to win this fight probably didn't see things going down like this. Hominick, the superior technical striker, came in quickly, but left his hands down. With one punch, Jung made him pay for his casual approach, landing a perfect right hand that dropped Mark Hominick mere moments into the fight. Jung jumped on him and finished the fight. Hominick complained afterwards, but it was a fair stoppage as he was out. Shocking victory for Jung, and a real unfortunate loss for Hominick in Canada.

Jon Jones vs Lyoto Machida UFC 140 Fight Video
Dana White has an instinct that many people don't possess. He is a man who knows as to who is going to suit his organization, highly successful UFC in the coming year. When he inducted Jon Jones in the UFC, he was attacked for inducting a guy of just around 20 years of age. Boys of such age don't really have wherewithal to join such a ferocious fighting forum like UFC.
But within a short period of time, this 24 year old boy has went on to become one of the most feared name in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and has beaten some of the biggest names in the MMA. Who would have dreamt that a young 20 something lad would come and beat a mighty Lyoto Machida so easily.

Frank Mir vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira #2 UFC Fight Video
Frank Mir was all but done, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira appeared he'd even the score in their long-awaited rematch.
Instead, after being rocked early and seemingly a blow or two away from being battered into unconsciousness on the mat, Mir escaped, slapped on a kimura and then rolled with his the fellow jiu-jitsu ace before breaking Nogueira's arm to force the stoppage.
The fight took place at UFC 140 at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. It co-headlined the night's pay-per-view main card and followed prelims on Facebook and ION Television.

Scrappers are targeting an historic cemetery in southwest Detroit. They've been stealing copper doors and other items from mausoleums at Woodmere Cemetery.
Click on the video player to watch Ronnie Dahl's live report.
They're the final resting place for beloved mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Now, several mausoleums are vandalized, damaged by disrespectful thieves.
Pat Krause contacted Fox 2 after a recent visit to the historic cemetery, heartbroken and disgusted about what she discovered.
"I always enjoy looking at mausoleums because they're so beautiful," she said. "As I was passing yesterday, I noticed the doors missing, I stopped, and noticed the insides vandalized as well."
Woodmere Cemetery dates back to 1867. Some of Detroit's most prominent families are buried here. Their crypts sat untouched for decades, until now. We discovered broken windows, smashed marble and doors to more than a dozen graves stolen, most likely for scrap.

Is your Halloween costume waterproof?
"There is a consensus forming in weather forecast models that hurricane Sandy is unlikely to go out to sea," according to The Washington Post.
It gets worse.
The Washington Post goes on to report that Sandy will more likely merge with a cold front and transition into a "powerhouse, possibly historic" storm that forecasters expect to make landfall anywhere from the Mid-Atlantic states to northern New England or Canada.
Oy.For up-to-the minute updates on this story and others, follow Wayland Patch on Facebook and Twitter, or sign-up for our e-mail newsletter.
Chris Lambert on the WHDH weather blog reports that it will still be a few days until forecasters can say where Sandy -- or her "hybrid" remnants -- will make landfall, but the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place that would bring a powerful storm to the the Boston area on Monday and Tuesday, with showers lingering into Wednesday.
As a piece of energy rotates in around that buckling jet stream, just at the right time across the eastern U.S., Sandy may actually phase with that upper-level energy and move back toward the coast. As this occurs, Sandy, turns into more of a massive Nor'easter, provides an expanding wind and rain field that produces damaging gusts, flooding rains and coastal flooding over parts of the mid-Atlantic and/or New England anywhere in the Monday-Tuesday timeframe. This scenario is now more likely, and over the next few days, we will be ironing out the details. Although, the timing of all these ingredients coming together has to be precise, so there is still a chance of a miss to the east, but that chance has lowered.
The scenario mentioned above, Lambert continues, would mean winds in the 50-60mph range, with hurricane force (74mph-plus) gusts at the coast, beach erosion, both coastal and inland flooding from torrential rain, and widespread power outages due to wind and downed tree branches.
If Sandy's path shifts into the Mid-Atlantic states or further north into the Maritimes, Lambert reports, the impact in this area would be much less severe.
The exact impact of Sandy remains unknown, but it's not too early to prepare. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency offers these hurricane preparedness tips.
Patch will continue to provide updates on the Sandy situation as they become available.

At various points in history, women have worn padding which is specifically aimed at enlarging the rump area. Often this has been associated with a generally full skirt, but sometimes the focus has been extreme, as in the 1880s shelf-like bustle which protruded horizontally outwards from the waist and looked bizarrely artificial.
A range of styles of bustles, skirt pads or "false rumps" were manufactured in the later eighteenth century and throughout the nineteenth century. The 1830s, 1870s and 1880s were the peak periods for these pads, but smaller ones were worn periodically during the 1890s and 1900s. Each time, advertisements and prints portrayed an exaggerated type of hourglass figure, with emphasis on the bottom balanced by similar stress on the bust and full gigot sleeves. Materials employed by the makers of these artificial aids were varied, including horsehair, buckram, covered cane and even metal wire or rubber.

A Service Dog Who Bites?
Poor training is not fair to the dog.

I'm not disabled, but have seen first-hand the enormous difference a guide dog can make in a person's life. I don't doubt that other types of assistance dogs do the same for their companions, every day.
But I think it's worth bearing in mind the term "reasonable accommodation." Apart from the legal meaning of that term, on a basic social level, it's important that reasonable accommodation cuts both ways. Lots of people are terrified of dogs, are allergic, or simply don't care for them. We ask them to put their fears and feelings aside so that people who need assistance dogs can lead fuller lives. It seems only fair to expect that the dogs will be trained to behave in way that is respectful of other people.

As a person with a disability who has an 'owner trained' Service dog, I'm appalled. Can you imagine if it were a dog like mine who behaved like this--a German Shepherd who weighs 90 lbs ?? Sounds like the owner thinks it's cute that the dog is vicious. Sorry, but it's not cute. It's hurting all of us who have our dogs working with us in public. More and more, I'm experiencing access difficulties, and I'm betting a large part of that is because of the abuse of people taking dogs that have no business being in public around with them.
I absolutely agree that it's crucial a dog be comfortable in public. My guy, who's now 8 years old, was remarkably confident and comfortable in public from 8 *weeks* old. Nothing bothered him, though I still took him to as many experiences as I could. I've had people scream at me, and he doesn't bark at them, let alone behave in any aggressive manner.
Business owners need to know that any Service dog, regardless of certification, can be denied access if they behave in a way that's disruptive, or a danger to others. This dog should not be allowed anywhere in public.

This is just appalling! What an insult to skilled, well tempered service dogs and the people dedicated to training them.
As a professional dog trainer and Canine Good Citizen instructor, I am often surprised to see people reward their dog for inappropriate behavior that they deem "cute." What's worse is when dog-training professionals don't point out said behavior. Don't they have a responsibility to teach the owner how to help their dog be a good citizen?
Just last night, I took my own dog to a class where a small dog growled and lunged at a larger dog's face. The small dog owner's response was to give her dog a treat! She then put her dog in the instructor's lap and while the dog licked the instructor's face, she cooed at him. You can be sure that I would not allow such inappropriate behavior on the part of the dog (or the owner!) in my own classes.
If you haven't taken a Canine Good Citizen class with your own dog, it's a goal well worth pursuing.

Thanks for your well tempered response, Beth, and for pointing out that Tita is a victim here as well. Poor Tita, indeed, being continually put in situations that frighten her enough to bite.
If people can't use common sense in choosing and utilizing service animals, the law needs to step-in. The story about the biting mastiff was appalling. The owner shows blatant disregard for the safety of others. Why in the world wasn't that dog removed from her care?

Tamandra makes a good point -- business owners *do* have some options. Here's a quote from the "Commonly Asked Questions About Service Animals in Places of Business" on the US government's ADA site
Q: What if a service animal barks or growls at other people, or otherwise acts out of control?
A: You may exclude any animal, including a service animal, from your facility when that animal's behavior poses a direct threat to the health or safety
Although a public accommodation may exclude any service animal that is out of control, it should give the individual with a disability who uses the service
Q: Can I exclude an animal that doesn't really seem dangerous but is disruptive to my business?
A: There may be a few circumstances when a public accommodation is not required to accommodate a service animal--that is, when doing so would result in

Does this also apply to landlord/tenant issues? There is an emotional support dog (PTSD) living in our complex. He is an 80 lb German Shepard. However, he has lunged at multiple children and small dogs. More importantly he isn't being walked by the person he is supposed to be assisting. He is being walked by a small child. When the owner was confronted by other resident he indicated that dog was just a year old and "still had a lot of puppy in him, but he would never bite anyone." I LOVE dogs and grew up with a large German Shepard, but I am concerned for my own dog and the children in the complex.

I have a friend who has trained her two Dobermans, and I think her Labrador as well, to assist her as service dogs and I know it has made a huge difference in her quality of life. And it's great that if one dog is being overworked, she can draw on another to assist where she needs it. I don't know if they all learn the same behaviors or not, but I do know that she's working with an organization that will certify her dogs and I guess that's really my question/response to this story--was Tita a "real" service dog or is that just what her owner calls her? I mean, honestly, there's not a service organization in the country who would certify an aggressive dog. What's unfortunate is that Tita's behavior kind of gives every service dog a black eye, because she would certainly leave a bad memory with anyone in the general public who doesn't know about the hours of training that goes into every service dog. Certainly, Tita's not a happy girl, either, because that kind of stress and insecurity affects her entire life experience. Just a sad story, all the way around.

Is Tita considered a real therapy dog or is this just a clever title instilled upon Tita by her owner? This needs to be the first questions answered. I have personally dealt closely with family member who have been diagnosed with bipolar and am intimately familiar with details of bipolar. I do not know of how a dog could act as a service/therapy dog to someone with bipolar, especially a dog with such disturbing behavior.
I'm surprised to hear that a dog who lunges and bites people is considered a therapy/service dog. From the articles I have read in The Bark, I was under the understanding that dogs that display this type of behavior are not placed as therapy dogs. Furthermore, isn't there some type of repercussions for Tita's behavior? (such as required training or behavioral sessions).

I have BiPolar 2 and have a service dog because of it. One of her many jobs is to alert me when I start to display hypo-manic behaviour, something that I can have a difficult time doing when I am in the hypo-mindset. When I am in a depressed state she is trained to come and lend "support", where she gets herself as close to me as possible and licks at my face until I acknowledge her with my petting her. When a person with BP2 crashes, even when on medication; we crash hard. Statistically more suicides and attempts are done by those with BP2 than the other mental health issues, so being able to get a person out of that all consuming mindset is a huge blessing to those who experience it.
As far as training for service dogs, there are no demands or expectations placed on who does the training, how it is done, or what is taught. This is because it would put an undue financial stress on those who need a service animal, but who can not afford one. I trained my Manda, she could pick up on my being in trouble on her own, but certain commands and of course public access were all things that she and I had to work together on. I can see pros and cons of allowing this (I live in Illinois), if you are physically and mentally capable of training your dog, it will make your bond that muc stronger. Manda was a very loving dog before, but once we really got into training and especially now that she is with me all the time her devotion is amazing. Sometimes it feels like she can read my mind.
That being said, I would never have gone forward with training her if I thought that she would ever try to bite someone. Manda is part Am Staff (Pit Bull) and Italian Mastiff, so people are very much expecting her to be vicious and wild, and she is the exact opposite. She knows the difference between someone approaching us and someone who means to hurt me and she will protect me if needed. She is also trained to go into protect mode, if I say a certain word...that way if I am feeling threatened I can have her interceed until we can get out of the situation. She will not attack anyone with that command, but she will put on one hell of a show so I can get away.

There is obviously a flaw in this current system of what constitutes a dog as a service dog, or a therapy dog for that matter. This is an issue that needs to be taken up with psychologists who themselves are trained to evaluate service animals rather than just issue the animals as service animals because they benefit the patient. I think we all agree that animals can be wonderful companions of service and that there are certainly valid cases to have a service animal-- but the animal his or herself should be at very least temperament tested. Better yet, why are they not required to earn their CGC certification at the least, or be certified to also be a therapy animal at best?
As from wikipedia:
This is in the hands of psychologists and the people who write laws, and they should get on that so nasty dogs/irresponsible owners don't ruin it for everyone else!

Great article. Many puppies in assistance dog programs are well-socialized and in training from a very young age. Then they are evaluated on a number of levels in order to progress through Advanced Training to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities.
Two sites that describe puppies' earliest involvement in neuro stimulation, socialization, and training:
Even with early socialization, good breeding, and training, there are no guarantees that a puppy will possess the necessary temperament, health requirements, and skills of a reliable assistance dog. Wonderful dogs may need to be released from service dog programs but go on to become fantastic pets and may assist the community in other capacities, such as therapy dogs or demonstration dogs.

I realize this article is a little dated and no one may help me but I need to improve this answer. If you encounter or hear a barking helper dog especially in "No Pets" areas (schools malls etc.), the helper dog should be located immedatley as the handler probably requires assisstance.
The level of assisstacne needed can vary from "I'm stuck and can't get the door open," and "someone call 911"
This is why, in my experience, malls ask PET dogs to leave.

Authorities say the Union Pacific train track has been rebuilt and is open to traffic after a train collision took down an overpass in Scott County early Saturday morning.
They say workers are gathering scrap metal and trying to salvage some of the vehicles being carried in the train cars.
According to authorities, the investigation could take up to a year. The bridge could be reopened by early September.Seven people were injured Saturday morning in a massive train collision in Scott County that took down an overpass.
Officials say that around 2:30 a.m. there was a train crash near County Road 210 and Highway M in the Rockview community. The Highway M overpass collapsed on impact.
Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter says a Union Pacific train T-boned a BNSF Railway train that had just made it through the intersection.
The collision caused one of the trains to derail and hit a pillar under the overpass causing it to collapse. A dozen Union Pacific train cars derailed.
[SLIDESHOW: Trains collide in Scott County]
Trooper Clark Parrott with the Missouri Highway Patrol says two vehicles were not on the bridge when it collapsed. The cars came up on the bridge as it went down.
A MODOT spokesperson says the bridge in Rockview has been declared an emergency. He expects to have the engineer in place to start drawing a plan for the bridge by Tuesday.
As far as removal of the current bridge, there is no timetable. But, the MODOT spokesperson says the span weighs 371 tons, so it will be a major project.
Three people in one vehicle, and two people in another vehicle, were taken to a nearby hospital.
One of the drivers, Christopher M. Cantrell, 22, of Benton, Missouri, received minor injuries.
Two 19-year-old passengers, Victoria L. Cantrell and Sarah R. Ishmael, both of Chaffee, Missouri, received moderate injuries in the crash.
Christopher Cantrell says he did not see that the bridge had collapsed until it was too late. His car went airborne and then crashed. He says his wife, Victoria, has a broken leg and broken ankle.
Family of Vickie Cantrell says she and Sarah Ishmael were supposed to be bridesmaids in a wedding on Saturday, but due to injuries sustained they didn't attend the ceremony.
The other driver, Larry J. Moore, 30, and a passenger, Angela R. Donley, 38, both of Chaffee, received minor injuries.
All seven patients were released from the hospital by Saturday afternoon.
According to Union Pacific spokesperson Calli Hite, the train was hauling vehicles and auto parts from Salem, Illinois to Arlington, Texas. Two people from the Union Pacific train were pulled out of the wreckage and taken to a Cape Girardeau hospital. Hite says the injured people were the train's conductor and locomotive engineer.
According to a press release from St. Francis Medical Center, six of the victims were treated and released from the hospital early Saturday morning. A seventh victim remains hospitalized and was listed in good condition.
A fire broke out from a diesel fuel leak from the train engines, but crews were able to extinguish the blaze quickly.
According to a BNSF Railway spokesperson, that company's train was heading southbound, hauling scrap metal when the collision occurred. The spokesperson says an unknown number of BNSF Railway train cars also derailed, but no BNSF Railway employees were injured.
Union Pacific had 11 cars that derailed and and BNSF Railway had 13 cars derailed.
Highway M was closed in all directions from Scott City to Chaffee.
Missouri State Highway Patrol, local police, fire and ambulance crews responded from numerous surrounding areas.
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials held a news conference at the site at 4 p.m.
Robert Sumwalt with NTSB says he expects investigators to be on scene for about 4-7 days to collect the information needed.
Sumwalt says investigators have looked at the video recording all trains have and he called it pretty good video, because it shows everything up to and after point of impact.
That black and white video recording has already been sent off to Washington D.C. for others to take a closer look, according to Sumwalt.
Sumwalt said everything is in play for a cause at this point and they are not ready to commit to one thing.
"I feel very lucky that we have no fatalities involved," said Sumwalt. "It's still something that should not happen. Two trains should not be at the same place at the same time. Anytime we have something like that, we are very concerned about it. That's why we're here. We are here to find out what happened, so we can learn from it and keep it from happening again."
Union Pacific crews began cleanup around 5:30 p.m. Saturday evening.
A local man heard the crash around 2:30 p.m. Saturday morning.
"When I got over there, the train was on its side," said Wayne Woods. "They got the guys out and lifted them off the train, and got them off the overpass. One was kind of bloody; the other one looked like he was pretty shook up."
He heard the crash and called 911, who said they had emergency responders on the way from Scott City and Chaffee.
"I heard the crash and stepped outside, and my son said the overpass was down," said Woods. "Then we heard car's tires squealing like it was coming to a stop and a crash, and a horn continuously blowing. At that time, we were on the phone with 911 and trying to get out and block the traffic so no one else would go down into it."
This was the third train derailment in Rockview this year.
The first one was back in January. Investigators said high winds sent 48 cars off the track.
The train was carrying auto parts from Chicago to Mexico. No one was hurt.
Then, another derailment happened in April when five cars left the track.
No one was hurt, and nothing spilled on to the tracks.

Then, discovering issues is simple as extended as you have time, patience and a very good utilized metal detector. Make sure to inform the ticket agent at the bag drop you have a stroller and they will give you a stroller luggage ticket. The closer you are to what you want to manifest the less difficult it is. In Florida, Texas and many other spots you can camp in your RV, or in a tent, right up coming to the ocean.
The top metal detector for the money will establish the presence of metals in a cesspool. Make absolutely sure to swap all electronics off just before take off and by means of landing. I was fortunate sufficient to accompany a group of 7th graders from the Hebrew school at Temple Ner Ami in Camarillo on their tour. Nothing can make the body age far more than a steady diet plan of worry and operate – the best metal detector reviews. After you've defined your primary targets and locations you should really shortlist the metal detector s for sale that are ideal.
Most of kids appreciate this kind of game. Kids like to comb the seaside and other locations like backyards to search for coins, silver, jewelries and other artifacts. If it's intended for kids use, select these that are really light and wants no setting changes.
Recreational coinshooting can be performed just about anyplace. I powered on the how to make the best metal detector, hit beach mode, and happily went scanning the shore line, and beach. The solution on whether or not you will obtain a brand new detector or will settle for the somewhat employed detector will rely on the potential of the individual to have a detector. The setup and operation approach of recent models of walk by means of metal detectors is rather easy. It gives you a reason to commit a couple of hrs outdoors in the fresh air, and there is normally the possibility that you uncover one thing uncommon and worthwhile.
More metal detector reviews here.
The personal does not have to bend above to get a signal since it comes with an extended arm rest with an S-rod dealing with process and an eight inch waterproof search coil so that anyone making use of it won't get exhausted scanning for objects. This shoe inserts are intended to redistribute weight all-around the shoe making it possible for the foot to function with out distinct and normally intensely unpleasant force currently being applied to one part of the foot disproportionately. On the web dating isn't such a various animal.
A father who is interested with his wife's pregnancy will put together their babies needs. If a greater sum of a liquid is required for health care factors, just inform the TSA officer. What if you aren't certain what you want, but you know it has to be an affordable beach trip? Metal detecting is not just an exciting and soothing hobby.
And don't fear that you will loose depth, the eight and 5 inch coils can take care of it. Older fields were usually employed for each baseball and football games. Clubs also gives you the opportunity to meet and talk to people who can give you worthwhile information and can turn out to be new pals.

Saturday, July 20, 2013 will be a day to remember. I had the opportunity and good fortune to attend two activities that centers and places their focus on our future. The Louisiana National Guard Youth Challenge Program that is conducted at Camp Minden provides a second chance opportunity for our high school students that have for a multitude of reasons, their lives have taken a detour, the American Dream is just a faint phrase and at this point in their lives, not within their grasps.
I laud the Louisiana National Guard, under the leadership of MG Glenn Curtis, and the finest staff, Cadre and support staff found anywhere in America. Bossier Parish Community College, mentor's, pastor's, parents, local business leaders and other are also available to lend their assistance and support.
