This is one of those thoroughly crafty little devices that is guaranteed to elicit an envious "I could've thought of that" from everyone who sees it. Props makes it easy to take your earbuds off and on without having to stash them temporarily in a pocket or resort to hanging them around your ears like a sullen tween.
I have my headphones in all day at work. When I have to have human contact I am constantly ripping my buds out and they will either just fall, or I scrabble to keep the from dropping. These keep me from the inconvenience of keeping up with my ear buds all day. The pink color is cute too.
Liked the idea of buds not falling off when not listening but didn't like this product. cool colors but couldn't figure out what this product was actually providing us
These are super cute and I guess a good idea to keep your headphones stylish and protected. The cord is not too long.
This is the best way to keep your earphones closer to you!! i enjoy traveling with this amazing product! buy it now!
These are amazingly useless. I wish I'd bought more, and will probably buy more, because people keep asking where I got them and wanting to try them. Plus I want them in other colors now. It's very easy to put the cords of earbuds through them and I've also been using them to hang my earbuds on the knob of my nightstand so they don't wind up on the floor under my bed.
How to use them.... I mean I think I know how, but with my Iphone 5 and the new earbuds that come with it, but, no it's really a guessing game as if I'm doing it right. They came in a plastic taped bag, that's it. I'm wondering if the new buds aren't exactly a good form fit for this. I'm still going to use it and see how it holds up
Very cool, love these while working out / running through the park. Very easy to use & convenient to store
These are great I can't tell you how many of my ear buds have broke while I was riding my bike, these keep you ear buds in place!
This is a useful little tool that is functional and practical. I got mine in black to just disappear into the electronics but they come in other stylish shades all sure to please everyone.
I have a pair for every device! These are so great I have multiple pairs so one is never too far away. They make great gifts, get some!

Teaching how to write device drivers
Driving Passion
maddog considers the benefits of teaching students how to write device drivers.
Recently, I was working with an "upstream" developer of Linux kernel device drivers. This particular developer was working in the media subsystem section of the kernel, where there are a LOT of device drivers because the media subsystem is either the second or third largest driver subsystem in the kernel. The developer reviewed about 3,000 patches per kernel cycle in addition to doing about 100 patches per kernel cycle himself. He was not complaining, just letting me know the work load.
In the midst of our discussions, he lamented:
Not actually knowing why Academia doesn't contribute upstream, I would guess that writing a new driver is probably a too short project for them, as students are supposed to work on a 6-month to 2-year window, while writing a new driver takes only a few days with the proper datasheets and/ or a reference driver and a knowledgeable developer.

There are many accents in the rich and diverse Dodgers clubhouse this spring. There are a babel of twangs and tones from the Far East to western Australia, from the Dominican Republic to Defiance, Ohio.
But, make no mistake, there is only one voice.
It announced itself recently by entering the room with a loud belch. The murmurs quieted. Everyone looked up. Matt Kemp was in the house.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The Dodgers center fielder has shown up this spring looking remarkably thinner than last season, yet he has never been bigger. His attitude is more measured, but he has never been more forceful.
During the first full week of spring training, every time he was in the clubhouse, it was as if there was nobody else in the clubhouse.
He would dance in from batting practice loudly singing along to a rap song that thumped into his headphones. He would talk trash to teammates as they walked to the shower. He would howl at teammates as they attempted to play pingpong.
One minute, he would be climbing the back of giant pitcher Ronald Belisario and riding him around the room. The next minute, he would be slapping Hanley Ramirez on the lower back. Moments later, Ramirez would be sneaking around to slap him back.
The room sounded like him, it felt like him, the energy rising with each of his large and loud steps, the place falling into a deadened silence each time he walked out. He is eternally positive, impossibly loud, always moving, always connecting.
If, as everyone says, the Dodgers' most pressing requirement this spring is to figure out the clubhouse chemistry that eluded them during last autumn's struggles, Matt Kemp is that open gas flame.
"We brought in a lot of guys, but this is Matt's team, and everybody in here wants it to be Matt's team," said second baseman Mark Ellis. "He's such a big player, such a big personality, it should be his team."
There are other players with the credentials, but none with the aura. Andre Ethier is too quiet. Adrian Gonzalez is too new. Ramirez is too unsteady. Clayton Kershaw doesn't play every day.
"He is that big presence, he's been here a long time, he knows how it works," Manager Don Mattingly said.
These Dodgers are Kemp's team in the way the Clippers are Chris Paul's team, a group of stars trying to figure out a championship by following one particularly forceful dude who seems to know where he's going.
But does Kemp know where he's going? How can anybody know? Perhaps the future of the 2013 Dodgers rests on the answer.
Two seasons ago, Kemp was certainly headed in the right direction when he was the best player in the National League who did not test positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Last season was Kemp's shot at redemption, but his prediction that he would be the first member of baseball's 50-50 club (home runs and stolen bases) became as mangled as his hamstring and shoulder, as injuries cost him one-third of the season and he wound up just another member of the 23-9 club.
This year, he is coming off off-season shoulder surgery, a new experience for him. He is also much leaner than in recent years, also a new experience for him.
"I am a lot thinner," he said at the start of camp. "I'm right where I need to be."
But is he? He says his seven-pound weight loss to 213 is simply a return to his physique of two seasons, but, in looking at him you wonder how much of that is muscle loss.
"I'm playing center field, so I can't be out there and be all heavy and try to run around and make plays like Mike Trout," he said, referring to the Angels' wild child. "I have to be light to do things like that."
The Dodgers surely agree that this type of weight loss will help him navigate the field — and stay on it — but will it impact his power at the plate? The other question is, as the season progresses, about his power in the room. For now, the team rightfully follows his every move, but there are other new personalities that may eventually feel a need to be heard. Will Kemp be strong enough to level the moods of a mercurial Ramirez? And once Carl Crawford begins making an impact, where will he fit in?
For Kemp to make sure everything fits, he has to maintain not only his health, but his numbers, because the Dodgers know exactly what happened last season when he struggled with both.
"When he went down last year, it was like we lost our voice, our direction, there was definitely a void there," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "He's all energy, all positive, all real."
For now, in the loudest corner locker of Camelback Ranch, Matt Kemp is all there.
"I ain't trippin', it's all good," he said. And as long as he continues to avoid those surprise stumbles, the Dodgers will be all good indeed.

Re: Your first concert
Harvard prof Timothy Leary would be O'Leary if he hadn't lost his "O" and 'twas Mrs. O'Leary's cow that started...the Chicago Fire. We have a winner! It's Chicago. Heard it on Friday Night Gold or some such radio show. Chicago did some shows-I don't know if it was a full tour-together with Earth, Wind, and Fire this year and they were supposedly pretty good concerts. (Tell me someone would have gotten it off of clue #2: "Wait till next year.")
Re: Your first concert
Chicago had a Top 10 album in the 60's - really? Chicago I came out in 69 and was not a big hit till the next year, when they hit it big with Chicago II. I believe that Chicago I went on to be a big seller, but I sure don't remember they were Top 10 in 69 (but my reference books are at home, so I can't be sure). Anyone?
Re: Your first concert
I must admit I did not do the research to confirm this. You know, "Well, they said it on the radio, so it must be true."
Re: Your first concert
OK, so maybe it was a top 20 each decade. Their first album hit #17 in 1969. See above link.
Re: Your first concert
I got burned on this very thing. A DJ said that "The Letter" by the Box Tops was the shortest #1 pop tune at 2:06 or some such, when that was not true at all, as I soon found out when I was corrected (multiple times!) here.
Re: Your first concert
Perusal of their discography reveals no clear top 20 in the 90s or 00s but several in that timeframe with "Information not available yet" under the chart info listing, so who knows. But they had quite the run with their first twelve albums, reaching these chart positions: 17, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 6, and 12.

Re: Your first concert
The Association ... at our univ. around '70. And in '84 I was lucky to be at a private concert by Air Supply in the Sydney Opera House - was their first trip back home in years - loved that one!
Re: Your first concert
I have almost as many good memories through music as I do from T&F.
The first concert I can remember being at featured James Brown and The Young Rascals at Madison Square Garden in the early 1960s.
Other memorable shows/concerts
Beatles at Shea Stadium (couldn't hear them with all the screaming going on)
Electric Dylan getting booed at Forest Hills
Seeing Hendrix before he was Hendrix at a small club in Greenwich Village. Next time I saw him he was opening for the Monkees(!) at Forest Hills.
1967-Summer of Love--combined track and music in a month-long vacation out West. Saw a free Dead concert in Golden Gate Park (I have 8mm footage that I can't find!). Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Avalon Ballroom. Missed Monterey Pop (had track meets to go to), but saw the 4th of July Folk Festival in Berkely--Steve Miller Band, Richie Havens, Janis Ian.
Opening night at the Fillmore East--Big Brother/Janis, Tim Buckley, Albert King. Complete listing of shows at Fillmore: http://www.fillmore-east.com/showlist.html
Chambers Brothers at a street festival in the East Village.
Early NY appearances of Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne
The big one-Woodstock(honest!). Working on Wall Street at the time, rushed to Port Authority after work and found hundreds of other kids waiting for the bus. Took a long time, but finally made it to the site in time to catch Joan Baez finishing up the folk portion of the weekend. Plan was to meet my friends, who had all the food, sleeping bags, etc, at the "front gate", but we never hooked up. Had enough after sleeping in the mud for two nights--started for home Sunday morning.
No-Nukes concert in lower Manhattan and MSG (Missed Springsteen)
Ann Margret in Las Vegas in 1973 (I still have a crush on her).
The Dylan tribute show at MSG--20+ performers doing their favorite Dylan numbers. Sinead O'Connor booed off the stage in reaction to her ripping up a photo of the Pope on SNL.
Tina Turner's "comeback" show at the Ritz in NY
More recently, I saw Dylan a few years ago at a small club in NY called Tramps(now closed). Waited on line for about 10 hours to get tickets, but it was worth it. The sound system was great and you could actually understand everything Dylan was singing (sorry,MJD, some of us do care about the lyrics). Elvis Costello came out at the end to do 2-3 songs with Dylan.
And very recently, I saw 90-year old Les Paul last night at the Iridium Jazz Club in Manhattan. I had been procrastinating for years, ever since Paul started playing every Monday at the club. He was amazing and it will definitely not be the last time I go to see him. For you young'uns not familiar with Paul, check out these links:http://tinyurl.com/ahwns; http://tinyurl.com/8zb8y
Favorite non-musical show: sitting two feet from Richard Pryor at the Gaslight Cafe in the 1960s. I only knew him from his TV work, so I brought my innocent 16-year old sister to see him. Little did I know what his club act was like! My sister was never the same.
Favorite non-mainstream acts--Christine Lavin (Dick Patrick's sister-in-law), McGarrigles.
Re: Your first concert
wow- thanks for taking the time to go down memory lane. i know the guy who sets up les paul's sound every week. i gave him my pick guard from my new les paul to have les paul sign. i was afraid les would sign it " when are you gonna learn to play my guitar"
but to my surprise the black sharpie wrote
"scott, keep on picking les paul" his signature was an exact copy of the one on my guitar's headstock. well of course i thought you idiot he signed both didnt he? i hear is a nice but eccentric old bird.

It was almost as much fun to hear him talk as it was to hear him play. He brought up three guest performers-- a tap dancer(!), with Paul and his group providing the music, a country singer from Tucson, and a comedian, and he had funny one-liners for all of them. I was wondering why there were so many guys on line with their guitars. Then they announced after the show that people could line up to meet Paul--apparently a regular occurrence at his shows. And, of course, the other pickers were there to get Paul to sign a personal note on their (Les Paul) guitars!
Re: Your first concert
There was a store called Vintage 429 in the French Quarter that had all kinds of autographed memorabilia, including a guitar autographed by Les Paul ($7000?, maybe it was $17,000). Also guitars signed by the Fab Four ($175,000), the Who, Elvis, the Eagles, the Allman Brothers, Jimmy Page, etc. Original copy of "Gone With the Wind" signed by Margaret Mitchell, picture montage of Oz with signatures from Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr. Hope they got their stuff out or at least protected before Katrina.
Re: Your first concert
Here is what I have burned by Chicago-someone told me that 25 or 6 to 4 was
>about making some drug. I did not know that.
MJD is younger than I thought.
Chicago's lyric is "Should I try to do some more? 25 or 624."
The chemical number for LSD is 25. The number for an antidote drug that would help get someone down from a trip is 624.
Re: Your first concert
>>The chemical number for LSD is 25. The number for an antidote drug that >would help get someone down from a trip is 624.<<
really?! and here I am, trying to figure out if Paul is really dead and what the heck the Kingsmen are saying.
CCR: "There's a bathroom on the right."
Re: Your first concert
More specifically, LSD-25 was one of the more popular and most readily accessible forms of LSD. I think 624 was actually qualudes, which would be taken to mellow out a bad trip.
DISCLAIMER: This is knowledge gained not through practical experimentation (well, not on my part) but from thorough exegesis given to all the latest mysterious lyrics. It was the late '60s and early '70s. You had to be there.

Re: Your first concert
I've already made my position on lyrics clear on a couple of occasions-it's not far from Dylan's, actually.
Re: Your first concert
On Sunday, November 6th, 1977 at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio I attended my first concert featuring Earth, Wind & Fire with Deneice Williams (the songbird herself) as the opening act.
It was awesome!
Deneice Williams sang a few incredible high notes and I became an instant fan of hers. Then EW&F tore it up. The bass player played a solo in the air (SIDEWAYS!)The group all rose out of a pyramid and commenced to jammin'I could go on and on. I've seen EW&F 6 times since then.

But groups representing many private and religious schools warn that if a bill to change the law is successful, it could threaten their religious freedom and leave them open to litigation for operating the schools in accordance with their faith.
Sydney MP Alex Greenwich has put a private member's bill before the NSW Parliament to amend the Anti-Discrimination Act and remove the exemption for private schools prohibiting the expulsion of students because they are gay.
Sixty-six per cent of respondents to an automated phone poll commissioned by Mr Greenwich and conducted by Reachtel last week said they did not support the present laws, while 18 per cent did support them and 16 per cent were undecided. Of the 1200 people surveyed, 72 per cent did not know private schools were allowed to discriminate against students on the basis of sexuality, marriage status and disability.

Vilas County Won't Lay Off 11 Workers
Submitted: 12/03/2012
Play Video
- Pink slips were nearly printed.
But Vilas County can save the paper since 11 workers won't lose their jobs now.
The county amended it's 2013 budget by putting back 11 jobs that were set to be eliminated.
County board Chairman Steve Favorite says the county will fill the budget gap left from keeping these jobs by tapping into the general fund.
Now these positions will be back and Favorite hopes people will take advantage of the voluntary reduction option.
"Now I think we've bought some more time, whether it's another year or two years," Favorite said.
"If we end up reducing 11 people over two years, is that not what we just did two years ago and hardly nobody knows about that."
Favorite also points out 11 people left on their own terms in the last two yers and the county still provides services.
Jobs in zoning, highway, UW-Extension, maintenance, and some other departments were set to go.

- A Rhinelander man will get a second chance after shooting his uncle.
At first, prosecutors charged 24-year-old Marcus Alsteens with attempted murder, but he might end up with a clean record.
Alsteens led police on a car chase through Oneida County in 2013 before being caught near Eagle River. That was after shooting his uncle at a Mason Street home in Rhinelander.
Oneida County District Attorney Michael Schiek initially charged him with attempted homicide, battery and two other charges.

Man accused of killing blind wife because she was nagging him
Submitted: 04/17/2014
Play Video
- A 76-year-old Milwaukee County man has told investigators he shot his blind wife of 56 years because she'd been nagging him for three weeks.
Prosecutors charged Jack Lang of Oak Creek with first-degree intentional homicide Thursday.
Authorities say Lang called 911 on Wednesday to say he'd just shot his wife in the face. Police found June Lang dead near the bed.
Jack Lang told investigators she nagged him and wouldn't shut up, and even though he loved her he'd had enough. He says she criticized him for not being able to help as much with housework.
He says he got his .22 caliber gun and warned her he was holding it inches from her head but she didn't believe him.
Online court records didn't immediately list a defense attorney.

Record breaking snowfall knocks the power out
Submitted: 04/17/2014
Play Video
- Our record breaking snow storm left more than 6,000 people across the Northwoods without power.
WPS had to rely on 20 extra crews from Green Bay, Wausau and Menominee to restore power.
But getting to the outages was a challenge.
A representative for WPS says workers are expecting even more outages to be reported.
"Not all of the back roads are plowed yet and that's where a lot of outages are located," said Leah Van Zile, WPS Community Relations leader. "Throughout the day as the temperatures warm, we expect to receive additional calls due to the unloading of snow off of the tree branches."
Eagle River had one of the highest number of customers affected by the outages.
Representatives for WPS say this was one of the hardest winters they've had to deal with.
"We've had some really, really severe wind chills which has really made the temperatures below zero. Typically, only in emergencies do we work in those conditions," said Van Zile. "But pretty much any other time, whether it's a rain storm, a snow storm, a wind storm, our guys are out there working, getting that power back on."
The number of outages dropped below 4,000 since earlier today.
If you're still without power to call 1800-450-7240.

The Donoho junior said when he isn't playing football or golf for the Falcons, he focuses on academics, maintaining a solid 3.7 grade point average. His dream school is Emory University in Atlanta, but he wouldn't be upset staying in state and attending Alabama. Garner said he eventually wants to become a heart doctor.
Garner has played football since eighth grade, and since joining the team, he has played three different positions — wide receiver, defensive end and inside linebacker. Garner said of the three, he prefers where he is now — linebacker. He added he prefers defense over offense.
Recently, Garner stayed in the locker room for the first few minutes of practice to sit down with Anniston Star sports writer Brandon Miller and sack 10 questions:
Question: What's the best thing about this year's Donoho team?
Answer: I guess it's the level of the commitment. We know we have a good skillset and a lot of good players, but it's working to improve on that.
Q: What makes football your favorite sport?
A: I like the connection you have with your teammates and everything. I really enjoy working together to get better as a team.
Q: Is Donoho going to make the playoffs?
A: I think we will. We've made a lot of advancements. Every game has been an improvement so far. We started off with a loss against Valley Head, and we just wondered where we'd go from there. We've moved forward and improved everything.
Q: What's been your favorite game this season?
A: I had a really fun game against JCA because I had a lot of tackles, but Collinsville was the most fun because it was a big win. Collinsville is probably the toughest team on our schedule, but we don't know that because we haven't played everyone. But they were the best team last year other than Cedar Bluff.
Q: What's your favorite vacation spot?
A: I love going down to Destin. My family and I have always gone down there since I was really little. We have a house down there.
Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete?
A: I like Julio Jones a lot just because I'm a big Alabama fan and I love the Falcons. It's easy to enough to be a really successful college player, but it's hard to take it to the next level. There are a lot of players like Tim Tebow that were great in college but couldn't take it to the next level. Julio has done that pretty well so far.
Q: Who is the last person you called?
A: I called my dad just a few minutes ago to try to get some spare car keys. I can't find mine right now. They fell off my keychain. I had to ride with my friend down to the gym because my spare keys are at my house.
Q: What's your favorite social media site?
A: I like Instagram and Twitter, but Twitter is my favorite. I like catching up on stuff, a lot of different stuff. It's a good place to get news.
Q: You wear No. 52 for a practice jersey, but why do you wear jersey No. 6 for games?
A: I just didn't want to be No. 52 or anything like that. I wanted a low number. I've been No. 6 since 10th grade and was 76 when I was younger.
Q: Do you have any pregame traditions?
A: I always try to wear black underwear before games, briefs not boxers. That's my good-luck charm.

Well getting back to the point here ... Censorship is WRONG!
In Japan they censor because it's the LAW. In America they censor to get more books printed and distributed in retail stores.
The idea of censorship being unjust to hardcore fan like myself stands no matter what explanation I am given. For those that try to justify and say censorship is OK ... this just shows me you aren't a read hardcore BL fan. You just read this genre to pass the time and because it's in English all the better.
REAL hardcore BL fan actually care about the art and wants the drawings to be uncensored and in it's original form (like those published in Japan!!)
I don't care how anyone tries to defend the reason why June censors because at this point it's definitely not LAW related and nothing said can change this fact. If there was no June there will always be another company out there that is willing to stand up and print uncensored books; for example, Kitty Media and Dramaqueen. So PLEASE stop licensing titles just to censor them while another company can buy the license and actually produce awesome uncensored yaoi for those who actually care!
ALSO, I do not believe that people buy BL title without knowing what it is. People don't just walk pass a BL title and go "hey it's a gay genre book let me buy it"! People who buy BL books know what they are looking for. I am 100% sure people do buy BL knowing what it is, but I am also 100% sure people are unaware of censorship issues because they have a life and don't come on forums to read about it, but just because a lot of people don't know about it and protest it doesn't mean it's OK!
If I have to I will make it known to as many people as I know to get the point across and censorship is EVIL when it comes to the enjoyment of "REAL" BL lovers.

You can make your connections at airports, but we find the best connections are made with the locals. So we designed this travel-savvy roller luggage to put the focus on the journey, not the schlep. Lightweight and responsive, it has a telescoping handle with two fixed lengths to keep you from stooping or inadvertently kicking the bag with your heels as it follows behind you. Smooth-rolling wheels provide mobility for cobblestone roads and the path less traveled.

A zippered exterior pocket protects your travel documents and keeps your wallet and phone handy. Webbing handles on the roller's top and side panels feel smooth in the hand and provide numerous carrying options. A lightweight, internal aluminum frame expands for rigidity when you're packing and collapses so you can store the roller under a bed. Burly runners protect the bag's exterior from wear and tear, and compression straps provide a lash point for additional gear. Made from 8.4-oz 900-denier recycled PET twill fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and lined with 200-denier polyester.

The Varilux Definity 1.67 Index plastic lens is digitally carved on both the front and back side of the lens. This results in less distortion and a wider "corridor" or viewing area in the middle of the lens. As a result, you get the most comfortable and easy to wear progressive lens that is available on the market today. The Definity lens is comparable to the Physio Enhanced lens, so it is even more comfortable to wear than the Physio or the Comfort Lens. The available range for this lens is -10.00 to +6.00 sphere and -4.00 to +3.00 cylinder (prism and slab off excluded).
The Varilux Definity plastic lens is made by Essilor, the world's largest maker of high quality eyeglass lenses.
Johnson & Johnson originally developed the Definity lens technology, and then sold it to Varilux. It is a great high index lens for those with an active life - golfing, biking, hiking and tennis and moderate corrections.

It appears that Alexis, Krystle and rest of those crazy women who entertained us back in the 1980s with their cattiness and their cat fights seem to have become the model of behavior for executives at Wells Fargo.

Smart Ways to Love Pets
We received the latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine at our home late last week, and I was intrigued by the feature on the cover. It teased "6 Ways to Save on Your Pet"! So, I obediently turned to page 30 as the cover blurb suggested. (I'm good with "sit" and "stay," too, but that's another story...)
While the article concentrated on cost savings for things like food (didn't agree with all of their logic here - cheapest isn't always best) and health care (shopping around for the right vet for your pet and checking on less expensive options for meds - both good ideas), I was pleased to see how much effort they put into promoting animal shelters just like HAWS.
"Save a pet and save money" was the caption to one item that showed an ADORABLE kitten - housed at a shelter near the magazine's production offices. Their thoughts? Consider getting your pet from an animal shelter or rescue group, therby doing a good deed while getting "a good deal." They're right! HAWS adoption fees are set to simply cover the cost of care, spay-neuter and housing while the animal is staying with us. HAWS, like most other animal shelters, takes the "non-profit" label seriously...and usually breaking even is the budgetary goal. More important to us is helping a homeless animal find it's forever home - whatever that takes.
So thank you, Consumer Reports, for promoting shelters. We appreciate the shout out for what we do! They also noted that there is no such thing as a "free" kitten or puppy. Something to always keep in mind as a pet owner or prospective pet owner...
By the way - summer vacation means busy, busy times at HAWS. Kids 'N Critters Day Camps are in full swing, our Mobile Adoption Center is appearing almost everywhere...and we have PLENTY of animals available for adoption. How are you going to spend your summer vacation? With HAWS, of course!
Little Critters Need Pampering, Too!
Did you know that HAWS does small animal pedicures twice a month?
Volunteers are available at the HAWS shelter this Saturday, July 16th, from 9:30 - 10:30 am to help with a sometimes daunting task - trimming the nails of your rabbit or guinea pig (or other small and furry creature). The volunteers can also give you pointers on how to do it yourself...if you're up for it!
Typically our volunteer "pedicurists" are available one of the mid-month Saturdays in the morning. Check our website calendar for the exact dates each month, or give us a call at 262-542-8851. The next at-HAWS small animal pedicure date is August 20th.
HAWS' volunteers also set up shop at Pet Supplies Plus on Bluemound Road in Brookfield, once each month, usually the 2nd Wednesday evening, from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. They'll be there tonight, July 13th, and are scheduled for August 10th, September 14th and so on.
There are only 2 things you need to know beforehand:
1. Make sure your little pet friend is in a carrier when you bring him/her for the pedicure. It is for their comfort and safety.
2. This service is FREE! But, donations to HAWS' small animal fund are always appreciated.
By the way - we've started doing Cat Pedicures at HAWS, too! Bring your feline friend(s) to HAWS (in a carrier, of course!) on the second Saturday of each month between 9:30 - 10:30 am for claw trims. We'll even show you tips on how to try this at home! A suggested donation of $7/cat is much appreciated.
One Dollar Coins
Last night on the Nightly News I watched a story about how billions of one dollar coins have been minted and waiting to be put into circulation. The problem is that the general public doesn't care to use them because they are heavy and don't fit into a billfold.
Day by day the government cranks them out only to be shipped into warehouses for storage. New warehouses are very expensive and must be maintained. The coins cost the government about 33 cents each to manufacture.
Heat Advisory - Tips for Your Pet's Safety
With the onset of a historic heat wave in Southeastern Wisconsin, HAWS reminds pet owners of the dangers of heat for their best friends.
Never leave pets unattended in your parked car. The temperature inside a car, even with windows open slightly, can quickly reach deadly levels. In sunlight temps can rise more than 30 degrees per minute.
In extreme conditions such as these, pets should remain indoors in a climate controlled environment. When pets must be outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun (a dog house does not provide relief from heat) and plenty of fresh, cool water. Heat stroke can be fatal for pets as well as people. Exercise your pets in the early morning or evening hours. Watch for hot asphalt which can burn sensitive pet paws.
It's important to be able to identify the symptoms of heat stress in your pet: heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, excessive thirst, lethargy, and vomiting are some of the more common signs. Move the animal into the shade or an air-conditioned area, apply cold towels to the head, neck, and chest or run cool (not cold) water over the affected pet. Let the pet drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. When in doubt, always contact your veterinarian.
"Residents with concerns about a pet in their neighborhood should contact the Waukesha County Humane Officers at 262-896-8300," notes HAWS Executive Director Lynn Olenik. Owners who are concerned about their ability to keep their companion pets safe during this weather are encouraged to call HAWS at 262-542-8851 to discuss available alternatives.
By the way - we have some HOT specials at HAWS this summer! Purchase your tickets at HAWS for the WI K9 Sport Show (August 27-28 at the Waukesha Expo Center), and HAWS receives a $1 donation per ticket! And don't forget: you can still participate in our "2-fer" - adopt a pair of adult bonded cats for $22.22 and receive a two-tally awesome gift basket.
See wild babies on Saturday 10-5.
Come and join us for our Wildlife Baby Shower! You'll get the opportunity to watch our staff and volunteers in action, feeding and caring for our orphaned babies in the busy nursery.

Summer Sausage
Here we are hip deep in summer. The days, these days, pass like a flipbook with barely two memories to rub together. It goes too fast and sometimes the memories of the past, though often unreliable, offer a cool fresh breeze.
There was a time, a wonderful time, when newspapers were the size of tablecloths and milkmen roamed the streets freely. I'll take a pound of Lambrecht's, thank you. That might be just me, but I'm willing to gamble there are a few other nostalgic saps out there. Every time and season has its cast of characters, its hooves and hoof prints, the smug and the struggling woven together and then unraveled into statistics and allegiances. We ignore the inexorable truth at our peril. We're all in this together like the ingredients of a fine summer sausage. The next time you buy one, think of your community.
My One Dollar Coins
The continuing saga...
I passed two of my 13 one dollar coins today.
One of them went for partial payment for lunch at a local McDonald,s. It was easier than I thought, but the cashier had do check with the manager for approval.
Reggie Says: "Support the HAWS Cause!"
Maybe you've been driving westbound on Capitol Drive in Pewaukee lately, just east of the Hwy. 74 interchange, and it has caught your eye...
Or you happened to exit 894 to head west on Greenfield Ave. and there he was...
Introducing Reggie, a recent HAWS alumni pet and the star of our new billboard campaign!
One of our goals is to increase community awareness of our mission - and just our existence in general. We're hoping that Reggie's cute, smiling mug on our billboards will be just the ticket to get noticed and get our message out there.
The call to action on our billboards is simple: Adopt - Learn - Give: Support the HAWS Cause!
Community support is what has kept us strong all these years, through the good and not-so-good, through tough economic times and the changing nature of animal welfare. Support is given in so many ways...not just financial (altho that one is a HUGE help!). We receive daily support from our volunteers, a mental boost from those passionate about education and learning, and satisfaction from all those rescue "tails" shared by our adopters.
So keep an eye out for Reggie, point him out to your friends...and please do as he says!
Thank you - from all the paws and claws at HAWS.
By the way - follow the links above to fulfill Reggie's request: Adopt, Learn and Give! And say hi next time you see our Mobile Adoption Center out and about...or c'mon out to one of our events or seminars!
Kohl's expected to decide this fall on headquarters move
Kohl's Corp. executives are expected to decide this fall whether to accept a proposal from Menomonee Falls officials to relocate the company's headquarters to Woodland Prime office park.
That's the word from Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald, who spoke at a Thursday meeting about the relocation plan, which would involve up to $41 million in public spending.
BBB Tips for the Wisconsin State Fair
The Wisconsin State Fair begins next week. Some people go to the State Fair to eat something deep-fried and on a stick, others go to get up close and personal with farm animals (perhaps some that they'd never get a chance to see otherwise), some head straight to the Midway for the rides, while others go to shop. If you're in the latter category, please read on.

Today I got a text message from a high school kid who worked for me earlier this summer, and I'm pretty sure it was not intended for me...(i have not seen/communicated with him in about a month)
He said:
"heyman i just want to make sure you wont tell anyone about friday night....it was a mistake yeahm"
I said:
"haha, you sure you textd the right person?"
that was 4 hours ago and he has yet to reply.
anyone ever receive (or send) an embarrassing text like this?
Views: 198
Sent many wrong texts......for some reason always goes to my dad...stupid stuff though....
Also...auto correct like: making "children" for dinner instead of making "chicken" for dinner
BTW check out www.smartphowned.com
I once got a text from a random number that said "thanks for last night it was amazing". I didn't respond.
Two hours later, another text that reads "Wait so your just going to ignore me, was this a one night stand"
So I told her or him that you have the wrong person. They didn't believe me so I had to break up with someone I didn't know over text. It was brutal... for the both of us.
christmas 2008, i got the following text: "hi merry xmas luv sheila".
i could have left it but i replied to say i didn't know anyone called sheila. apparently, that wasn't good enough.
sheila: it's george's girlfriend, sheila
me: i don't know a george or a sheila
sheila: we sat next to you in the pub last night
me: i wasn't in the pub last night
sheila: you were. this is sheila, michael's sister.
me: i don't know a sheila, a george or a michael.
this carried on for about two weeks, at the end of which she admitted she must have the wrong number.
christmas 2009:
sheila: merry xmas from sheila
me: ...
so, we went through the whole 'i don't know who you are' thing again. i still have all the texts on my old phone. it eventually turned out she was scottish and deaf. still, a little disappointed she didn't wish me merry christmas last year. b****!

text: Updated Vintage Hairstyle Ideas 2011-04-15 06:00:00 10 Fresh, Pretty Updates on Retro Looks by Miriam Lacey 4/15/11 2 Reactions 10 Shares Print 10 0 0 0 0 There are so many gorgeous vintage hairstyles, but updating the look into something you could actually wear today isn't always so easy. See how 10 gorgeous looks from previous eras can be made current, wearable, and utterly chic. Source: Getty The Finger Wave What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of the tightly zigzagged finger wave bobs that were popular in the 1930s, Tyra Banks takes her waves a little looser. Putting them back into a low bun creates a sophisticated, easier-to-wear take on the style. Source: WireImage 1 / 10 The Veronica Lake Wave What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In lieu of one long, continuous wave like the one made iconic by Veronica Lake, Amanda Seyfried breaks things up a little bit with a few separate wave patterns. This creates more movement and texture while maintaining the allure of the original look. Source: WireImage 2 / 10 The Pompadour What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dianna Agron updates the classic 1950s pompadour by turning the style into a piecey, deconstructed updo. It gives the face length and definition just like the original style, but it's softer and less greased-up looking. Source: WireImage 3 / 10 The Fishtail Braid What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alicia Keys does a great job of updating vintage hairstyles, and this fishtail braid updo is one of her prettiest looks. Instead of wrapping the braid behind and under, she rolled it forward into a looping bun that showed off the braid's shape. It's innovative but perfectly formal. Source: WireImage 4 / 10 The Half-Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The big, teased half-up style was a staple of the late 1960s, and Ashley Tisdale gives it new life in a slightly more low-key incarnation. She makes it work by keeping her pulled-back section loose, leaving plenty of pieces out, and restricting the volume to the crown. That way, the look has plenty of impact without seeming overly done. Source: WireImage 6 / 10 The Bobby Soxer Ponytail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With a little teasing, the classic 1950s voluminous ponytail gets an update on Blake Lively. It has the same great swing as the original high ponytail, but the loose, textured top and mussed ends make it look more adult. Source: Getty 6 / 10 The Waif Bob What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Selita Ebanks makes a classic 1930s-style bob work for the modern red carpet by wearing the curls softer and more diffuse. To get a similar style, create ringlets with a big-barrel curling iron and then brush them softly out until they loosen, using a brush spritzed with hair spray. Source: Getty 7 / 10 The Head Wrap What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Glamorous ladies of the '30s and '40s were fond of head wraps, and if someone was going to bring it back right, who better than Salma Hayek? She makes it work by leaving the bottom portion of her hair out, making the look less severe than its 20th-century counterpart. Source: Getty 8 / 10 The Bouffant What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Big, bouncy bouffants dominated the 1960s, and retro-loving Zooey Deschanel knows not only how to make the look work, but how to make it fashion forward. By keeping all her volume around the sides of her head, and then having lots of loose curls at the ends, Zooey gets all the fun of the bouffant without the stiffness. Source: Getty 9 / 10 The Matinée Idol Curls What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The fancy, hot roller-set curls of the 1940s can make anyone look like a starlet from a bygone era. But Jessica Alba keeps them from being too dated by sporting a softer curl pattern, wearing a center part instead of the more customary deep side part.

Too many signs
Date: May 6, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board member Walter Hackett is upset with the number of road signs that the Florida Department of Transportation has placed in the Gulf of Mexico Drive right-of-way over the years.
According to his count, there are 405 state road signs along 9.7 miles of Gulf of Mexico Drive right-of-way.
The signs include everything from 61 bike lane signs, 27 right turn yield to bike signs, 34 begin right turn lane yield to bike signs and 87 trolley stop signs.
Hackett presented his study to his fellow planning board members at the Tuesday, May 5 sign code public meeting at Town Hall.
The planning board agreed with Hackett that too many state signs clutter the right-of-way, while no town signs are allowed in those same swales.
Town staff is attempting to bring a Florida Department of Transportation official to the next sign code meeting to discuss the possibility of removing some of the state road signs that the planning board believes is overkill.
The next sign code public meeting will be 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 12 at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.

text: Jewish Peoplehood, or Jewish identity, is transmitted dor l'dor, from generation to generation, through teachings and ritual. Yet many of us come from families that either turned away from Jewish practice, or rotely observed ritual without connecting with its deeper meaning. This turning away had many causes (the need for safety through assimilation, anti-Semitic trauma, yearning to explore non-traditional ideas). The Exodus, the central story of Judaism, tells of the journey from exile to re-membering our connection as a people with the Divine. In our time, many of us have made this journey in reclaiming our own Jewish identity. Together we will explore and share our personal and familial experiences of exile, and re-membering, reflect on the psychological and spiritual meaning of this journey, and consider how this understanding may provide a pathway for Jews who are currently alienated from or conflicted about their Jewish identity.
