Long Island Memories
Susan Tomic, Bride Of David Malm Susan Tomic, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tomic, of 16 Yoakum Avenue, Farmingdale, was married last Saturday to David Malm, formerly of St. Charles, Missouri, at a ceremony held at St. Kilian's R. C. Church by the Reverend Father Basil. The bride, a 1965 graduate of Farmingdale Senior High School was attended by Mary Yanke, Candice Tomic and Mary Malm. The grom attended the State University of New York at Farmingdale, and is employed as an electronic technician at Servo Corporation. A reception was held at Holiday Manor, Bethpage. After a wedding trip to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, the couple will reside in North Lindenhurst. Christina Recek Married To John Sims Christina Agnes Recek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Recek of 202 Yoakum Ave., Farmingdale, became the bride of John Sims of Carthage, New York on Sunday, July 14. The wedding took place at St. Kilian's R. C. Church at 4 p. m. and was followed by a reception at the Holiday Manor. The bride's gown was of embroidered nylon, with a train and her headpiece was a pearl tiara. The matron of honor, Mrs. John Dixon, wore pink and the bridesmaids were attired in blue gowns. The bridesmaids were Susan Campbell; Helen Recek, a cousin of the bride; and Valerie Recek, the bride's sister. The best man was Richard Mc- Cabe and the ushers were John Dixon, Robert Recek and William Ostrowsky.

We are in the midst of a medical revolution. The fuse was lit about 20 years ago with the introduction of the so- called wonder drugs. Since then r e verberations have been heard in every branch of medicine including, pediatrics, ophtal-mology, psychiatry, surgery gerontology, and dentistry. Where it will all end, no one can say. But one thing is certain; The Biblical " three score and ten" which U. S. citizens reached in average life expectancy only a few years ago is no longer a valid goal. Today scientists are setting their sights on the magic figure of 100. And, barring self- destruction with nuclear bombs or worse, it's a good bet we'll approach or reach this goal by the end of the 20th century!

The Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) is a multi-volume reference work that documents words, phrases, and pronunciations that vary from one place to another place across the United States... read more...
"Recently in the language world, something happened that might be described as the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the Fourth of July, New Year's, three scoops of ice cream, and a new kitten all rolled into one…I'm talking about the fact that the magnificent six volume Dictionary of American Regional English is now available online." Martha Barnette "A Way with Words" |
"Touring the Dictionary of American Regional English is a road trip of the mind from sea to shining sea. . . . It speaks with authority about American regional speech and has also captured the popular imagination. It is a peerless resource for scholars, but at the same time delivers accurate information about regional vocabulary to laypersons who, until DARE, could not count on access to it."
Michael Adams, Humanities |
"Can a person fall in love with a dictionary? If the work in question is the Dictionary of American Regional English, which has just published its fifth volume, Sl-Z, the answer appears to be yes." Heidi Landecker, The Chronicle of Higher Education |
"A great project on how Americans speak—make that the great project on how Americans speak—is reaching completion this spring. . . . DARE stands alone as the most exhaustive record of regional speech in America, each page bursting with geographically nuanced information about the country's diverse lexicon. It's a joy to page through: Where else would you learn that snuff for chewing is called snoose in the Pacific Northwest, and also goes by the name Swedish condition powder?" Ben Zimmer, Boston Globe |
"For scholars of American English, this volume and the series it completes are a hoard of riches. . . . It is a repository of who we have been as a people, and who we are." John E. McIntyre, Baltimore Sun |

Definition of overtone in English:
Line breaks: over|tonePronunciation: /ˈəʊvətəʊn
- 1A musical tone which is a part of the harmonic series above a fundamental note, and may be heard with it.More example sentences
- This third phase of tonal theory argued in favour of a natural basis for major - minor tonality in the overtones of the harmonic series.
- The principle is the same, but the notes become even more complex through the use of harmonic overtones and (again, my guess) unconventional bowing.
- The fundamental and its overtones are set into vibration very quickly, and it would take someone with a very keen aural sense to hear all of these tones separately.
- 1.1 Physics A component of any oscillation whose frequency is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.More example sentences
- This allows either the crystal's fundamental frequency or its third overtone to be selected.
- That is, vowels are created by the first few broad peaks on the amplitude envelope imposed on the overtone spectrum by vocal-tract resonances.
- Speculation: presumably, the system has also evolved to transmit information about high frequency overtones.
- 2 (often overtones) A subtle or subsidiary quality, implication, or connotation: the decision may have political overtonesMore example sentences
- His vibrant paintings offer traditional scenes of Nigerian villages and tribal customs, with only a few subtle political overtones.
- The term 'reactionary force' has political overtones and historical connotations.
- In furthering this project, I suggest, it is critical to establish the play's precise date if we would recuperate political overtones and connotations activated in the earliest productions.
connotation, hidden meaning, secondary meaning, implication, association, undercurrent, undertone, echo, vibrations, hint, suggestion, insinuation, intimation, flavour, colouring, smack, suspicion, feeling, aura, atmosphere, nuance, trace, murmur, touch, vein• rare subcurrent

The Australian Dream - the family home on a quarter acre block - has long been a political battleground.
Yet since handing responsibility for setting the official cash rate to the Reserve Bank in the 1990s, the capacity for governments of either stripe to do much at all has been routinely overstated.
For this, grandstanding politicians have no one to blame but themselves.
John Howard did more than most to demonstrate the powerlessness of governments with his election-winning theme in 2004: "Who do you trust to keep interest rates low?". They trusted him in droves only to be proved wrong much later.
It worked at the time because it took voter anger at him over four hikes, and cleverly alchemised that into an even more powerful elemental force: fear of worse to come under the other mob. Brilliant!
But the trust he won soured with each of the next six increases, the last during the 2007 election campaign itself. Karma perhaps?
In office, Kevin Rudd too found he had no lever for driving rates down even if the economy was managed well. In fact, especially if it were managed well.
Such is the political irony of interest rates - they go up when the economy's growing strongly (which is otherwise good) because they are the number one tool for fighting inflation (which is very bad). Voters now know this too.
In any event, Rudd's interest rate honour was saved after a couple of embarrassing early hikes in 2008 by the looming GFC.
It is easy to forget how dramatic this was. In September 2008, the RBA first trimmed a tentative 25 basis points from its 7.25 per cent cash rate - the first cut in almost seven years.
It then became more aggressive, knocking in big chunks another 375 basis points off over the next four meetings. By April 2009, the official cash rate was down to its GFC nadir of 3.00 per cent.
For Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan however, there was little credit to be had for cheaper housing finance. Just a whole lot more fear.
Which brings us to this week's surprise decision by the RBA which should be good news for borrowers and renters alike…
As Joe Hockey immediately said, with this latest 25 basis point cut, Australia's 3.25 per cent rate is suddenly just one cut away from the record-low GFC setting - a mark since acknowledged by Mr Swan as an emergency rate as he tried to explain away rises on the way back out of the crisis.
For Mr Hockey though, it was a deft repackaging of good news for borrowers to fit the Opposition bad news critique of an economy in dire trouble.
Liberals prefer not to discuss John Howard's other big claim from 2004 that rates would always be lower under the Coalition.
When pressed they argue that Howard was talking about the retail rate and not the cash rate etc. etc. It is rubbish on either count. This shilly-shallying demonstrates not only the centrality of interest rates to Australian politics but the tendency of politicians to be simple with solutions and yet nuanced and qualified when forced to explain their failures. Who knew?
Another Coalition favourite is the claim that Swan has no sway with the banks because they no longer pass on cash rate reductions despite his public posturing.
If it is true it was probably always true for it conveniently ignores six occasions between May 1997 and August 2000 when movements in the retail rates were smaller than the cash rate savings or where there were increases outside of RBA movements.
The cash rate may yet drift lower, perhaps down to 2.75 per cent especially if a prediction from the IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard made yesterday is correct.
He told a conference in Hungary that sovereign debt problems in the Eurozone, the US and Japan coupled with a China slowdown would see global growth hobbled until 2018.
"It's not yet a lost decade, but it will surely take at least a decade from the beginning of the crisis for the world economy to get back to decent shape,'' he said.
Lower housing rates will continue to ease the hip-pocket pain for households but there'll be no votes in it for governments – of either persuasion.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to always be the case.
On these very pages, I see posters trying to defend Labor's economic track record. And one of the first entries on the list is them crowing about how low interest rates are. Strangely enough, even though it is pointed out that Europe and America have even lower rates and don't exactly have stellar economies, this "accomplishment" continiues to be lauded by the faithful and attributed to Swan and his flying monkeys.
Was Howard's interest rate claim silly and pointless given the lack of direct government control over rates? You betcha. But it's not half as silly as those who give credit to Swan for interest rates slowly heading towards the same levels of those economic powerhouses, Europe and America.
acotrel says:
Roosevelt's 'New Dea'l which was used to reduce the effect of the thirties depression in America wasn't all stupid. The trouble was he ran out of constructive things to spend money on, so we had a world war.
Mahhrat says:
Good article.
The government has precious little abililty to control the economy, and given the track record on both sides of the house, I'd be reluctant to give them much anyway.
I just hope the next wave of funding goes to developing future, first-world jobs. Things for, you know, our kids to do. Science, financial services, high-end manufacturing. We need to stop competing with China and India for cheap labour and mass-produced stuff, and move onto the higher-tier things that we can do better.
Rosie says:
I don't mind paying more for my mortgage if I was certain that we as a nation was going to get a genuine budget surplus!
Fortunately, we are surviving compared to the rest of the world but if this Govt keeps spending borrowed money the way they are doing we will end up in strife as well.
Interest rates go up and down in accordance with events here and internationally. Govts are only there to make sure it balances out.
Tubesteak says:
"Such is the political irony of interest rates - they go up when the economy's growing strongly (which is otherwise good) because they are the number one tool for fighting inflation (which is very bad)."
A simplification, but correct, nonetheless.
"Voters now know this too."
As a lot of comments will prove today, this is not true. Most voters don't understand the reason behind the budget cycle or understand the difference between budget deficit and government debt. This will, again, be proven in the comments to this article. Much to my chagrin.
We now have interest rates set outside of government pork-barrelling. If only we could get fiscal policy outside of their pork-barrelling, too. Hand it to Treasury. Life would be much better.
Get rid of both parties says:
More dithering, Swan discussing non issues.
Interest rates will go to zero, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to pay the mortgage when your wage halves. The mining boom is over. The one this idiot government pinned all our hopes on.
Australia is broke, we've sold all our assets, all we do is consume.
Get ready for lives that have zero resemblance to now. It's been frustrating to watch my fellow Australians vote for parties that don't care one bit about you, me or Australia.
I'd say wake up Australia but it's too late. It's over.
Get rid of both parties says:
Gillard is saying it absurd to compare us to Greece. I agree, Greece has options, we don't. Australia has the highest personal debt in the world. All our assets are sold. We could wish we were in as good a position as Greece.
The New Economist says:
@ Get rid of both parties
It's not over by a long way. You correctly point out our high personal debt. Unfortuanately most of the money 'saved' in lowering interest rates will simply be used to pay down mortgages or, in bad scenarios, catch up on their mortgage.
Unfortunately our standard of living will decrease as tightening of fiscal policy occurs. But it will not happen with this shameless Government. It will occur when the next Government is elected. Unfortunately we needed to have adults in Government, not children trying to placate their friends in a Grade 7 School Captain Election.
It will be a hard road back. Many Australians do not want to face this reality so they will continue to vote Labor. Hopefully we will have more grown up voting at the next election
John says:
The cost of living increases, inflation rise's, rent increase's, this makes sure there is nothing left of the underclass's and those with with hardly any savings at all. Those with wealth and property just laugh as lower class's become their props so that they don't collapse.
Walk into Parliament house and access all the assets of politicians, and find out if they are really effected by interest rates drops, rent increase's. Their wealth might dwindle, but they are no where near going into rental market and buying a home with massive debt, they are pretty comfortable.
Leaving people in the perpetual renting cycle, wealth-fare and massive debt is not humane. Ask glen Steven's if interest rates effects him? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, all these guys already have their homes paided off, massive investments and huge assets. They are pretty comfortable.

How about letting the market set rates? Interest rates are not just for debt slaves, its for savers too.
The last thing a central bank should be doing in a downturn is setting artificially low interest rates. A recipe for economic calamity….the western world has a fake, ponzi economy. Time to return to basics and live to our means.
Tony of Poorakistan says:
It used to be that banks had a sense of responsibility towards customers, some moral fibre and some sense of fair play.
Now they've gone from claiming they have to protect their profit to claiming for the first time that they have to protect their profit GROWTH. In the current economic climate, they couldn't have said anything that more clearly showed what complete bastards they are.
What we have in Australiais a Big Four Banking Cartel and until the ACCC recognises this and is given some teeth to prosecute, we, the consumers, will continue to suffer
AdamC says:
Some of the commenters here seem to think that, just because the government does not set interest rates, it cannot influence them at all.
That is, of course, complete rubbish. There are a number of ways government policy can affect interest rates. The most elementary is fiscal (budgetary) policy. For example, one method the Howard government used to keep downard pressure on interest rates was to run consistent budget surpluses.
However, both monetary and fiscal policy are merely levers to manage the economic cycle. They do not, in and of themselves, drive higher living standards over the long term. In the 1980s, the government realised that, to overcome Austrralia's then sluggish trend growth and incomes that lagged other developed economies, the government needed to reform the economy. That set Australia on a path of deregulation, privatisation and tax reform.
Sadly, this reform agenda has come to a screeching halt. This is not entirely the ALP's fault, but they were the party that ended the bi-partisan reform agenda in 1993, with their opportunistic opposition to tax reform. Mystifyingly, this new found reform-aversion survived the demise of the clapped-out Keating government to bedevil us up to the present day.
The economic success of the Howard government was not due to some magic touch, it was due mainly to the economic dividends of the reforms which started in the 1980s. Australia has now turned its back on reform and, indeed, has even reversed some important ones. Our growth and living standards will suffer as a result over the next generation.
Anna C says:
The Reserve Bank and our pollies will do anything to keep our housing bubble inflated even at the detriment of younger generations ever being able to afford a home. God forbid housing should actually become affordable in this country for working people. No we sure can't have that. Let's all keep outbidding one another for the same crap houses and drive the prices to the moon.

Wayne Swan - a very good choice of photo to add to this article. "How low can they go?"
Well there's one answer to the question!!!!!
Catching up says:
"Last time I checked, we had a world war because a psychotic dictator got his hands on the reigns of power in Germany and started invading his neighbours. Then the Americans came in because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour."
Just a thought, it could have been the worldwide depression that allowed the likes of Hitler to come to power.
As for Japan, I Seem to have read, that trade restrictions were put in place against them, because of fear of their low price goods flooding markets of other countries.
I am not making excuses for either country. What I am saying, economical conditions can affect social and political actions.
As the street demonstrations and changing of governments, show that people do not take adverse situations lying down. They go looking for alternatives and often get it wrong.

OSHA launches new SeaWorld investigation
Video showed Orlando trainers working closely with killer whales in September
Federal inspectors say they've found more unsafe working conditions at SeaWorld, leading to a new investigation into whether trainers are being protected from the park's killer whales.
In September, video from Local 6 helicopter Sky 6 showed SeaWorld Orlando trainers still having close contact with whales during shows.
Months prior to that, an administrative judge ruled that SeaWorld must keep its trainers out of the water and behind barriers when performing with the whales.
Weeks after Local 6's report, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration conducted a follow-up inspection at SeaWorld and indicated in court papers that they observed more "unsafe conditions." Details of that inspection have not been made public.
SeaWorld is asking a judge to postpone the safety requirements while they appeal the order.
The initial investigation stemmed from the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was pulled underwater by a whale and killed at SeaWorld Orlando in February 2010.

by Mike Jones / PAWS Advocate Buddy pranced on his hind feet, front claws scraping denim. Luke turned a blind hip to Buddy's behavior and the Rottweiler/Labrador mix settled back on all fours. "He must have lived with a man before," said Carol Gannaway. "It's usually the men who like to wrestle with their dogs." In the fenced yard outside the PAWS Companion Animal Clinic, Buddy's temperament evaluation continued. Carol handled the clipboard in a role referred to on the form as "scribe." Luke, Buddy's "evaluator," knelt to examine Buddy's teeth in a test of his response to dominance. "'Easy to handle,'" Luke proclaimed. Carol created the Good Dog Program, Luke coordinates it and Buddy benefits from it. Carol touts the program as a way of "helping the dogs maintain their sanity in the shelter while they await a new home, and matching the appropriate owners with their new dog." There is no reference on the temperament form to "sanity," and while he's not exactly a candidate for committal, Buddy probably wouldn't get high marks. There is a space for "behavior observations," one of which ranges from "serious" to "silly," 1 to 5. Buddy rates a 4. His tail would wag during all his waking hours if someone hadn't docked it to a lump. Instead, his whole bottom wags. Luke waited with Buddy while Carol fetched another dog from the shelter for the next temperament evaluation. Buddy's path was intentionally allowed to cross that of Wally, a pit bull mix. The dogs' response to each other was observed before Buddy made his exit and the evaluation of Wally began. Some Australian cattle dog in his breeding may account for Wally's squat build and the fact that when he sits and his head tilts back, his ears stand up. "If Wally sat more and more people noticed these ears, he may be adopted more quickly," noted Carol. His evaluation may be over, but Buddy's participation in the PAWS Good Dog Program has just begun. Buddy has lived at PAWS for five weeks, and the first month was less eventful than the past week has been. Since Carol began training volunteer dog walkers and kennel attendants a few days ago, Buddy has been learning to sit at the front of the kennel, sit for the leash, sit before doors, sit when his walker gives him nothing better to do. "Sit, sit, sit," was Carol's mantra to the volunteers. "Sit all the time." Buddy's new behavior is achieved through positive reinforcement. Treats all the time. Carol advocates for very little or no correction. In her training manual, Carol quotes nationally respected dog trainer Morgan Spector. "We are talking about establishing a training bargain," said Spector. "If the dog sits, give him a treat. That's the training bargain in its simplest form." Carol's program represents a bargain for PAWS and its dogs. In early 1999, Colleen Smith, director of Companion Animal Services for PAWS, was considering what more PAWS could do for dogs. For potential adopters, dogs represent a steeper incline of commitment than cats. Some dogs pose a greater adoption challenge than others. Morale can slip when a dog spends more than a month at PAWS without finding a home. A case like Buddy's can foment a creeping emotional malaise, not just for Buddy, but for staff and volunteers who care so deeply for his welfare. Colleen was familiar with Carol's work at Whidbey Animals' Improvement Foundation (WAIF) on Whidbey Island. While at WAIF, Carol's reputation grew through public speaking, television appearances, publishing, and her efforts at her training center, Canine Potentials. As Carol recruited and trained volunteers for WAIF's Whidbey Island Animal Shelter, the length of stays for its dogs began to decrease. Not only was the dogs' time at the shelter more pleasant and involving, but this shift toward happier, more attentive dogs was subtly noticeable to human visitors. Adoption rates climbed while the rate of dogs returned due to behavior and temperament problems dropped. Colleen met with Carol at WAIF in January. "The most impressive thing I saw at WAIF," Colleen recalled, "was all those dogs in a row sitting at the front of their kennels." Dogs who endure weeks at a shelter can develop lethargy or show symptoms of kennel craziness, pacing, circling, gnawing on chain link, barking wildly. But Colleen noticed this wasn't the case with the WAIF dogs. "I was stunned." Leaving with good feelings about WAIF's Good Dog Program, Colleen considered methods of funding a contract to adopt Carol's methods for PAWS. The Humane Society of the United States had posted a grant to support programs beneficial to dogs. The PAWS application for the grant netted $3,150, Visio Corporation contributed $5,000 through a grant, and Carol's work at PAWS was underway. A key piece of the Good Dog Program is Luke Oakland, a veteran shelter staff member. Some of the attributes that led Colleen to appoint Luke as program coordinator are obvious (Carol pointed out, "He's a tall, strong guy who can handle some of the more challenging dogs"). Other qualities are revealed only after observation and conversation. Luke's stature is sizable, but his heart is disproportionately big. "I'm really impressed with the program," said Luke. "I'm seen so much improvement in the dogs in just the first few days. It's great that it's based on positive reinforcement. Hopefully the days of yanking on the pinch collar are disappearing." The PAWS Good Dog Program is backed by Carol's dozen years of studying dog behavior. Her canine career began in 1987 with volunteering at an animal shelter, the Seal Beach Animal Care Center in Seal Beach, California. First as a dog walker, and later as a trainer and instructor, Carol noticed a need for greater activity and engagement in shelter dogs. She developed a program for walking and training the dogs at Seal Beach, and the center's reputation began to grow. Potential adopters drove extra miles to meet the dogs at Seal Beach, who had a reputation for being "good dogs." Carol later served as an animal-control officer, columnist and author, whose book, Living With More Than One Dog, was published in 1995. She brought her expertise to the Whidbey Island Animal Shelter five years ago. Inspired by a presentation in Spokane by New York-based canine behaviorist Sue Sternberg, Gannaway adapted Sternberg's concepts of environmentally-cued training, and the Good Dog Program was born. Carol's focus differs from that of most animal trainers, who often work more at training people that training animals. "My draw has always been the shelter dogs. I prefer hands-on dog training as opposed to people training." Not that the outgoing Gannaway is some kind of social misfit, but she adds the disclaimer, "I just enjoy watching the dogs." Of course, the people must be trained before the dogs can be trained. Volunteers who walk dogs and tend to the kennels are advised to be prepared by wearing appropriate clothing and carrying a leash and collar or an animal control lead. Attached to their belts should be a spray bottle filled with water and, of course, a pouch with the all-important treats. At a training session, Carol showed the volunteers a simple method for placing a training collar around the head of an energetic dog. "Put the treat in your hand and the hand through the collar. As the dog goes for the treat, slip the collar over his nose and head." Dogs are taught to sit at doorways by using the opening of the door, not the treats, as the reward. Once the walker has passed through the open door, with or without the dog, praise is in store. The approach is reinforced by moving to a new door only after the dog has mastered the sit at the original door. Once outside even a dog who appears lethargic in the kennel can pull a walker like a horse pulling a surrey. The volunteers stop this behavior simply by stopping. It may take time, but the Good Dog Program requires a dog to learn that a tight leash means no forward progress. Pulling means stopping. A loose leash means freedom to walk and explore, maybe even a savory treat. According to Carol, the only correction should be directed toward aggression. If a dog starts lunging and barking, the spray bottle should be employed. The PAWS dog walkers carry a small spray bottle with the trigger tucked into a pocket or belt. As soon as the aggressive behavior begins, the spray bottle is drawn and water—only water—is sprayed at the dog. The moment the behavior ceases, the dog is praised and rewarded. Carol has seen this approach work for most dogs, but occasionally a dog comes along who considers the spray a reward, and other approaches must be considered. As Carol and anyone else who works at the PAWS Companion Animal Shelter knows, there are lots and lots of good dogs, but no perfect dogs. Except mine. Cheever was called Jasper during his stay at PAWS. During the two months he lived in the kennels, PAWS adoption posters displayed at area pet-supply stores pictured him over the text: "Don't overlook Jasper! He's one of the best in the shelter: likes other dogs and cats, bonds well with people, and is sweet-natured." So how could one of our best be repeatedly passed over for adoption? Potential adopters who were intrigued by this handsome and intelligent Chow mix would be disappointed during "visits"—interaction with family members supervised by a staff member. He was perceived as aloof, more interested in sniffing the ground than in meeting a new person. Some adopters want a dog that will bound up to them and worship them like they are God's gift to canines. Cheever isn't like that. A temperament report generated by the PAWS Good Dog Program would have informed potential adopters of this trait prior to a visit. (A recent temperament evaluation of Cheever, conducted for the purposes of this article, ranked him as a 1 on the "aloof" to "needy" scale). With no Good Dog Program in place at PAWS in the fall of last year, Cheever, the perfect dog, sat for two months until I woke up to his wondrous qualities and filled a void in my life by adopting him. He still spends his days at PAWS (next to my desk), but now he gets most evenings and weekends off. The presence of a temperament report, currently attached to the kennel door for every PAWS dog, may have prevented some disappointing visits for dogs at PAWS prior to the Good Dog Program. Potential adopters would have had a glimpse into temperament and behavior tendencies, and may have been drawn to qualities that weren't apparent through the kennel door. But can too much information be a hindrance to adoption? Could someone who loves the look of a dog or the brief interaction through the chain-link door be dissuaded by the results of the temperament evaluation? Colleen Smith, the shelter director, believes the more PAWS knows, and the more an adopter knows, the better. "It'll make a difference for us because we'll know the dogs better and we'll know what they need." She predicts the program will have a positive impact on adoption rates and will decrease the rate of return. About potential adopters, Carol said, "They should know everything they can about the dog. We're looking for a lifetime commitment." Wally, the pit bull mix with the flip-top ears, had little experience with the Good Dog Program before a family made him their own good dog. Buddy, the smiling dog with the wagging butt, is getting better, not worse, as his stay at PAWS continues, thanks to the Good Dog Program. He knows there are lots and lots of people out there, but he's waiting for the perfect adopter. Maybe you. "There are so many dogs for adopters to pick from," said Carol. "Their perfect dog is there."

Ron Marz discusses his return to the world of "Witchblade" and his plans to take Sara Pezzini and company in an all-new direction.
Full article here.
Just put down 170 about half and hour ago and I loved it! It was very much in line with what I was hoping Marz's new run would be like. I'm a he fan of his last run on Witchblade and I'm on board for the long haul this time!
I really enjoyed it. Great job!
Stay Vocal, Demand More MI13 and Black Knight. Buy Revolutionary War!
Support Top Cow- Artifacts, Aphrodite IX, Witchblade and Ravine!
So I decided to pick this up and as a first Witchblade comic only knowing a bit about everything it read pretty well.
I do have to ask, is this the normal page count for Witchblade?
I wasn't entirely in love with Seeley's run, but I kept Witchblade on my pull list, and am glad that Marz has returned.
Braga's art looks good, although the head proportions seem a bit weird in the preview pages (very prominent brows/foreheads). As long as it doesn't detract from the story, I'm good.
I enjoyed the issue quite a bit, and thought Marz handled the multiple narratives well. But I had the same thought when I was done. It felt a little short, and when I went back, found that it was only 18 story pages. Since it's $2.99 I'm not too upset about that, but I'd rather have a couple more story pages rather than that B&W strip that's been running in all of TopCow's books for awhile now.
I was so-so on this. I was a fan of Seely's Chicago stories and characters and now those seem to have disappeared as if they never happened. This issue was also pure set up. I am not sure for what since I didn't read the solicitations. I also found the story a little hard to follow going back and forth in time and with NJ. The art had me wondering if that was the same character in NJ as in Saratoga NY. But I suppose Magdalena helped Sara get rid of the Witchblade somehow and Sara went upstate. I have been a pretty big fan of the series but this is the second or third jarring change in the last few years. In my mind, it was at its peak pre Artifacts. If Marz can get it back to that level, all is forgiven.
Current Favorites: The Goon, Batgirl, Chew,The Sixth Gun, Fatale, Saga, Diskordia, Think Tank, Archie, Rachel Rising, Red Sonja, X, Wonder Woman, Powerpuff Girls, Watson and Holmes, Alex & Ada
Witchblade is a series I just can't seem to get into for some reason or another.
Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Earth-2, Suicide Squad, Phantom Stranger, Forever Evil, Rogues Rebellion, Arkham War, ARGUS, Iron Man & Unity. Trades: Saga, East of West & Lazarus.
Can someone tell me what happened in this issue?
Sara Pezzini is now the sheriff in Sartoga County, NY and she's tasked with investigating a gruesome murder on the outskirts of town. The murder opens the floodgates to memories of her connection to Witchblade and The Darkness, as she struggles to deal with the emotional fallout from losing her daughter. Her past has beaten her into submission and Sara can no longer bear the cross on her back. She attempts to rid herself of the Witchblade once and for all with the help of Magdelena. The issues ends with a massive cliffhanger
I loved this issue and am glad that Marz is back. I've been a Witchblade reader since issue one and have sat through some really good runs and some really bad ones. So, glad to see Ron, whose previous run I adored, return, especially since I never quite warmed to Seely's stories or cast. I like the new locale and am interested in finding out exactly what led Sara here and what happened to the Witchblade. Crossing my fingers for a Gleason sighting or two eventually.

An insomniac's guide to the curious mathematics of mattress flipping
Brian Hayes
A Flying Mattress Ride
To make sense of all this turning and flipping, the first thing we need is some clear notation. A mattress can be rotated around any of three orthogonal axes. I could label the axes x, y and z, but I'd just forget which is which, so it seems better to adopt the terminology of aviation. If you think of a mattress as an airplane flying toward the headboard of the bed, then the three axes are designated roll, pitch and yaw as shown in the illustration to the right. The roll axis is parallel to the longest dimension of the mattress, the pitch axis runs along the next-longest dimension, and the yaw axis passes through the shortest dimension.
Turning the mattress by 180 degrees around any one of these three axes is a symmetry operation: If you start with the mattress properly installed on the bed and then apply one of these actions, you return to another state where the mattress fits the bed frame correctly. Assuming that the various surfaces of the mattress are not labeled in any way, the states before and after the symmetry operation are indistinguishable. Note that no rotation through an angle smaller than a half turn has this property; despite the advice of Phyl's Furniture Facts, a quarter turn around any axis leaves the mattress in a decidedly awkward position. And for a mattress that has the usual, rectangular, shape (technically, it's called an orthotope), there are no other symmetry axes. If you were to try making a half turn around one of the diagonals, you'd be left with a very catterwumpus bed.
A mattress has two sides suitable for sleeping on, and each of those sides has two possible orientations—with one end or the other toward the headboard. Thus there are four configurations overall. A golden rule of mattress flipping would be an operation that, when applied repeatedly, would cycle through all four configurations and then return to the original state. It's easy to see that none of the three basic symmetry operations, taken alone, accomplishes this trick. If you always flip the mattress end-over-end (that is, around the pitch axis), you alternate between just two of the four states and never reach the other two. Repeated roll turns or yaw turns also visit just two of the states (although not the same pairs of states). Hence any golden rule would have to involve some combination of motions—maybe a roll followed by a pitch followed by a roll the other way and then a yaw, or some such intricate dance move.

Stan Winston R.I.P.
Stan Winston, the man behind some of Hollywood's most amazing monsters, has died after losing his battle with cancer.
The Oscar-winning visual effects artist died on Sunday at his home in Malibu, California, aged 62. Winston won Oscars for his work in Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Jurassic Park. He also created notable visual effects for hit films like Predator, Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns. His most recent work can be seen in summer blockbusters Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In a statement released on Monday, Terminator star and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Winston a "genius" and "one of my best friends". The action man-turned-politician added, "Stan's work and four Oscars speak for themselves and will live on forever. What will live forever in my heart is the way that Stan loved everyone and treated each of his friends like they were family... I will miss him greatly and am honoured to have worked with him." Very sad news. A special effects genius who gave us the terminator, predator, the jurrassic park dinos & many many others. Also a very nice guy.

plastic is not goodPros: They were good while they lasted. Cons: Broke in half at middle of the headband when putting them on one day to listen to music. Other Thoughts: Plastic headbands are too cheap. Metal in headbands is much better and built to last. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great HeadphonesPros: Great sounding, good price! Cons: The box which houses the noise canceling and volume limiter is a bit clumsy to have when working on a desk. Other Thoughts: Great headphones for a good price! Did you find this review helpful? |
Not for eggheadsPros: Closes off all other sound. But a decent little head set, cant much complain since I got it for free. :) Cons: It is a tight headset, it is tight, though that is necessary to keep out external sound, feels like a gun head set, not very comfortable. Other Thoughts: Don't like that it needs a battery, do like that it has control on the cord, though they should do that without the battery. But still a good little head set. Did you find this review helpful? |
NeatPros: Thanks Newegg! These work great! Cons: None 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Dont BotherPros: Ok the good part is the headphones fold up. Comes with various accessories. Fits fine on ear, has volume control. Cons: Needs battery. Poor sound quality. They are not ABS brand instead its go High Sierra written over it. Other Thoughts: Invest in a better brand 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
ehhhPros: Came with my PSU. Cons: Volume control/etc is bulky and requires a battery(Not included). The first day I used these, they worked well. Other Thoughts: I would have rated them a 1, but they were free. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Better than $1000 aviation headset!Pros: Fits my head really good (I have a HUGE head), sturdy head strap (not too tight... just a little), sturdy wire, collapses really tight (the muffs go up into the band), nice padding near the top so it doesn't make a dent in your head after long periods of use. Nice noise reduction... A little fuzzy but, still quite good - I use these things mowing on a loud 20 year old mower, and with the noise canceling on, it is exceptional. Cons: The volume control is kinda geeky. Sort of bulky, yet sturdy. The headphone jack is also bulky, but you just have to trim it up with an exacto knife. :) The noise canceling is make for lower frequencies, so if you have a loud computer (or mower in my case :), then these do the job well. Don't expect them to block out people talking. Other Thoughts: I have a friend who bought a headset made by a bigger company (b*se), and these things dominate his headphones as far as the sound goes, but the b*se ones have way better noise canceling... 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
SWEETPros: WOW.. Ive always looked at the bulky headphones as .. well Bulky=uncomfortable. But wow.. these are sweet.. I can hear my wife talking to me.. and she cant hear the guns blazeing.. I took them off and held them a few inches from my head and could barely hear them. And arnt to bad comfort wise for a couple hours straight. Cons: I need a set with a mic on them now :/ 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
AWSOMEPros: Really good ear phones by ABS. The brace which concects the two ear plugs are very flexible, because of the well designed joints on the connector. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Good ear plugs Did you find this review helpful? |
Great headphones!Pros: Excellent headphone I enjoy the over the ear design of them (the reason the have them over the ears is so that they can have the headphone give sounds that sound more distant than other sounds, like a surround sound.)Excellent bass. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I did indeed get them free with my power supply, but if I had known that they were this good I would have have bought them earier. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Karina Smirnoff partnered with Roman Nabatov in 1996, and the pair placed 22nd at the U.S. Amateur Latin Championships. She switched partners for the 1999 British Open Dance Championships, where she finished in the top five in six events. In 2001, she switched partners again, and went on to dominate ballroom dance competitions for the next four years. In 2006, she competed on the hit TV show Dancing with the Stars.
Dancer. Karina Smirnoff was born on January 2, 1978, in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. As a child, Smirnoff suffered from severe but undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In order to channel her excess energy, Smirnoff's parents enrolled her in figure skating lessons at the age of 3. By the time Smirnoff was 5 years old, her activities included gymnastics, aerobics, piano lessons, and ballet. Smirnoff recalls, "I tried a little bit of everything because my parents wanted to keep me busy so I would be tired at the end of the day and finally stop going." When Smirnoff was 9 years old her parents, searching as always for outlets for their daughter's insatiable energy, signed her up for ballroom dance classes. Smirnoff quickly discovered her passion and talent for ballroom dance and dropped her other activities to concentrate exclusively on dancing.
Smirnoff's budding dance career was put on hold at the age of 14 when her family emigrated to the United States. After settling in New York City, Smirnoff put dancing on the backburner to concentrate on academics. She attended Christopher Columbus High School and the Bronx High School of Science. After graduating from high school, Smirnoff enrolled at Fordham University where she double-majored in economics and information systems programming and planned to attend law school. However, while still studying at Fordham, Smirnoff also resumed dance lessons. She studied rumba, jive, samba and waltz with various renowned dance instructors in New York City. After rekindling her childhood passion, Smirnoff decided to abandon her plans to become a lawyer and pursue a professional dance career.
In 1996, Smirnoff partnered with Roman Nabatov, and in their first dance competition the pair placed 22nd at the U.S. Amateur Latin Championships. Smirnoff then switched partners to dance with Paul Killick in the 1999 British Open Dance Championships, where they finished in the top five in six different events. In 2001, Smirnoff paired with fellow Ukrainian dancer Slavik Kryklyvyy, and the couple would go on to dominate ballroom dance competitions for the next four years. Smirnoff's many accomplishments during this period include five U.S. Latin Ballroom Championships, the World Trophy Championship and the Asian Open Championship. Smirnoff and Kryklyvyy also made a joint cameo in the 2004 film Shall We Dance starring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere.
Impressed by her stunning good looks, intelligence and impeccable dance credentials, in 2006 ABC inked Smirnoff to appear on the third season of its popular reality TV series Dancing with the Stars.
