Continental Kennel Club Answers The Critics
Copyright © Continental Kennel Club 2009
Continental Kennel Club is an international registry with club members
and dogs registered in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries. Since 1991,
Continental Kennel Club has served the dog world as one of the leading canine
registries in the world and used the internet to promote, advertise, and
publicize its services and programs for the dog world. And while the internet
is a wonderful medium for the free exchange of ideas all over the world,
it can also be used to spread rumor and false information about people,
businesses, and organizations. In the past there has been some misinformation
circulated on the internet concerning CKC which has led to some common misconceptions
about the Continental Kennel Club. In this document we have attempted to
answer those misconceptions as a series of frequently asked questions. For
more information about CKC, refer to our official website at www.ckcusa.com,
or call us at 1-800-952-3376.
Does Continental Kennel Club condone puppy mills?
Continental Kennel Club does not condone or promote "puppy mills".
The majority of CKC registrations come from individuals, not large commercial
breeding operations. In 2006, two percent of our members were registered
as kennel owners (a kennel owner being someone that has ten or more dogs
registered). And, of those ordering applications for litters in 2006, only
10 percent were listed as kennels with CKC.
To deal with unscrupulous dog owners, CKC maintains a strict set of Registration
Rules that all members are expected to adhere to and abide by, whether they
be individual dog owners, breeders, or kennel owners. CKC enforces its registration
rules, policies and procedures among all of its membership through program
checks, customer feedback, and a formal complaint process. In dealing with
a complaint, CKC employs a wide latitude of investigative tools, including
on-site inspections, professional tests, and document-gathering to determine
the merits of a reported abuse of the registry.
Occasionally, we receive complaints about breeders using the CKC registry
who are suspected of "puppy mill" practices. If such a documented
complaint is made concerning a CKC member, a file is opened, and we begin
an investigation immediately. If the breeder is found to be unethical in
their breeding practices or care of their dogs, their club member privileges
will be suspended and/or revoked according to Rule 6b of the Continental
Kennel Club Registration Rules. Rule 6b states: "CKC reserves the
right to refuse registration to any person or to revoke or suspend the club
member privileges of any member who acts in a manner that CKC deems unethical,
fraudulent, or dishonest." In addition, Rule 6a states: "CKC
reserves the right to refuse registration to any person or to revoke or
suspend the club member privileges of any member who is convicted of a crime
of cruelty to animals in any state, province, or country."
Does CKC feel that registering a dog as purebred based on two signatures
and three photographs is an accurate means of registration?
We do register dogs that are known purebreds whose registration papers with
another registry have been lost, destroyed, or stolen. In these cases we
require 2 witnesses to verify the dog is purebred and 3 photos to verify
the dog is 'of proper breed type'. According to CKC Registration
Rules, a dog must be purebred and 'of proper breed type' to
be registered as a purebred dog. If a dog is represented as purebred by
the owner and two other witnesses, its registration can still be challenged
if it is not 'of proper breed type'. The pictures that are submitted
with these registration applications give us insight into whether a dog
is of proper breed type or not. And, CKC will deny registration for any
dog that is not of proper breed type no matter what type of verification
that is submitted for that dog. For example, registration for a dog may
be received on a puppy application with CKC registered parents or on a canine
application submitted with registration papers from another kennel club,
and still be denied registration if it comes to our attention that it is
not 'of proper breed type'.
Unfortunately, for many purebred dogs, their paper trail has been lost
yet they are good examples of their breed and worthy of contributing to
the gene pool for their particular breed. Purebred dog gene pools are already
constricted enough by closed registries promoting primarily show-type breeding
with little regard for working ability. The CKC registry is an open registry,
and we have established adequate rules to safeguard the integrity of the
registry. CKC registration rules give us the right to investigate any member
suspected of registration infractions. CKC investigates every claim concerning
improper breed type or fraudulent information on registration papers. CKC
removes member privileges and purebred status for all dogs that have been
found to have incorrect or fraudulent information.
The majority of registrations that come into the registration office come
in with registered parents either in CKC or another kennel club such as
AKC or UKC. There are 3 ways to register a dog with Continental Kennel Club
depending on the history and background available for each dog. The most
common way dogs are registered with CKC is using preprinted puppy applications
that are issued for each litter requested by a breeder using CKC litter
services. We also register dogs on canine applications based on registration
information submitted from other registries. A list of accepted registries
can be found on our website at www.ckcusa.com.
By allowing purebred dogs to be registered with witnesses and pictures,
CKC is allowing a legitimate alternative for purebred dogs such as rescued
and abandoned dogs. Registration provides the new owners with proof of ownership,
a registration number to compete in CKC performance events, access to CKC
online services, and other valuable programs like the CKC Gold Club. In
addition, providing a legitimate means of registering purebred dogs eliminates
the practice in closed registries of registering dogs with false pedigree
information, thus bringing into question the accuracy of pedigree records
and studbooks.
Does Continental Kennel Club register mixed breed dogs, and if
so, why?
Yes, while 98% of the registry is made up of purebred dog registrations,
CKC does offer its registration services to owners of mixed breed dogs.
Owning a mixed breed dog is very common today, and CKC wants to be helpful
to those dog owners as well. Many mixed breed dogs are rescued from shelters
by responsible owners looking for a good canine companion to be part of
their home. CKC encourages registration of these dogs for a number of reasons.
Registration services provide proof of ownership, allow the dog to participate
in our performance events, allow CKC to record the accomplishments of the
owner and these canines, and make available all of the great services CKC
has to offer.
Continental Kennel Club applications and registration papers are designed
to ensure the public understands the different registration classes at CKC.
Puppy applications and registration certificates are stamped with 'PUREBRED'
or 'NONPUREBRED' in bold print so that new owners know what
they are getting. Also, the abbreviation, 'MISC' appears in
front of any mixed breed description on the BREED field. In addition, the
CKC unique numbering system for miscellaneous breeds uses different prefixes
so that computer programs can prevent the recording of a mixed breed dog
as purebred.
Why does Continental Kennel Club allow registering dogs that have
limited breeding rights with other registries?
CKC Registration Rules allow for the registration of all purebred dogs.
Because CKC is an independent registry which operates by its own registration
rules, CKC does not record breeding status information from other registries.
And, as with other registry organizations, individual membership status
is conferred and maintained by adherence to the specific organization's
registration rules, policies, and procedures.
In order to meet its membership needs CKC has established a Preferred Breeders
Program that does offer limited registrations privileges to those breeders
subscribing to the program. The CKC Preferred Breeder Program is an elite
program made up of breeders who subscribe to the highest ethical standards
in animal husbandry and canine care. CKC Preferred Breeders are committed
to improving their breeds.
If a CKC breeder doesn't want the owners of puppies they
sell, to breed them, what should they do?
If a breeder is selling pet quality dogs and doesn't want puppies
they sell or place to be used in a breeding program, they need a written
agreement/contract with each person they place a dog with or sell a dog
to. The agreement/contract should state explicitly that the puppy being
transferred is not to be bred or used for a breeding program. Continental
Kennel Club strongly advises that all breeders or individuals selling or
placing dogs do so with a written contract detailing the terms and conditions
of the sale. Contracts are made and enforced according to state laws not
registration organizations. Therefore, if a breeder wants to restrict the
breeding rights of a dog they sell or place, they should do so with a contract
which includes a mandatory spay/neuter clause. Or better yet have the dog
spayed or neutered before selling it.
Does CKC stand for Continental Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club?
The answer is both. In the United States, the initials CKC represent Continental
Kennel Club. Canadian Kennel Club doesn't register dogs in the U.S.
and, therefore, has not established the use of the CKC mark in the U.S.
Likewise, Continental Kennel Club does not register dogs in Canada and has
no need for using the CKC mark in Canada.
Continental Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club resolved their differences
over the CKC trademark in 1998 and both agreed to work in ways which would
not confuse the general public in Canada or the U.S. Continental Kennel
Club has respected and adhered to the tenets of the settlement agreement,
although the agreement expired in December of 2003.
In addition, Continental Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club represent
themselves differently in their services, advertisements and on the World
Wide Web. Neither club wants to be identified by the services or products
of the other, so there is no problem with the respective kennel clubs or
the general public. Continental Kennel Club always uses its full trademarked
name 'Continental Kennel Club' in advertisements, registration
materials, and promotional material.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 83 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg K. Great Bang for the buck! Purchased this to push my 16 foot Day Sailer away from the dock and such... This motor has plenty of thrust to push that boat quickly and swiftly! Very Satisfied! August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sean Very strong motor Moves 17 ft fishing boat very well. And very quick and easy to set up and use August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Basslover01 reverse problems My new c2 kicks butt in all forward gears. It cuts through those Florida Lillypads with no problem and sneaks up on fish in the deep cover. Big problem though. Reverse is seemingly non existent. Regardless of the speed used it barely moves my 8 ft Sun Dolphin even if I'm by my self...Does anyone else have that problem also? If so I would love to hear if there is a solution. I'm not a rookie as I have had this boat with a Motorguide for over 20 years with no problem. Any help is appreciated. Overall great motor though! August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerry49 Great little motor Just purchased and used for 4 hours but this motor is pushing my 12 foot jon boat at just the right speed for my wife and grandchild cruising the lake. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Juice832 Great for trolling First off min Kota trolling motors have to be the most quiet motors built and powerful for most size boats August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fishingfool37 the best The trolling motor was excellent to mount on the 14ft canoe. With excellent speed and mobility. I use it on a regular basis and very effectuate on the battery life. I recommend this product. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jay Rigid and Reliable This motor is well built for a good price. 55lb thrust pushes my jon boat, gear and two guys around the lake with ease. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gnav2000 Worth every penny 55 thrust, what more can I say? Recommended it all to my friends. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChippewaMike Electric motor is shockingly great! Used to own a 45 lbs thrust but opted for a "bigger" motor this time and am so pleased with the power and feel of this motor that I would highly recommend it to all those in need of a top of the line 55 lbs thrust. You might think there is not much of a difference but there really is and it is wonderful. For the price difference and performance difference this model is more than worth the cost-which by the way was insignificant! June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Furrocka Awesome Use it for a 12' boat just go going around lake. Was out there for 10+ hrs and moved whenever we felt like it and it worked great and ran off only 1 battery. June 13, 2014

Community invited to Storytelling Harvest Oct. 27
Lake Erie College and CARES Literacy Coalition will be taking story time to a whole new level Oct. 27 when they host a Storytelling Harvest. The event will run from 10 a.m.-Noon on the campus green located behind College Hall.
Storytelling Harvest is a fun, interactive literacy event in which children will listen to and act out stories in an effort to promote literacy awareness. The Harvest will also feature games, puppet shows and face painting.
Children are encouraged, but not required, to dress in costume as their favorite literary character. To further promote November's National Family Literacy Month, each child will receive a free book. The event is age appropriate for those children in preschool through third grade.
Lake Erie College students from the "EDE 410 Literature-based Reading" course will read stories and assist in the day's activities. "My hope is for the students to see first-hand how much they, as students and as future teachers, impact the community," said Katharine Delavan, Ph.D., assistant professor of early childhood education. Storytelling Harvest also serves a as a way for students to gain experience organizing a major project. CARES (Center for Adult Reading and Educational Services) volunteers will also be on hand reading stories and helping with activities.
For more information, contact Delavan at 440.375.7167 or email@example.com.
CARES Literacy Coalition creates a community-wide awareness of literacy issues, programs and services. The coalition also conducts campaigns to recruit potential volunteers and adult students. In addition, CARES promotes collaboration sharing and cooperation between all adult basic and literacy education providers. Finally, the coalition serves as a resource for information about literacy and as a basic support available for adults in Lake and Geauga Counties.

Following the NFLPA's decision to file a grievance on behalf of Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita for the suspensions handed down earlier this week for participation in the Saints' bounty scandal, the NFL has released a statement in response.
The full statement reads:
"On May 2, Commissioner Goodell suspended four current or former New Orleans Saints players for conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the NFL based on their participation in the pay-for-performance/bounty program that operated during the 2009-2011 seasons.
"Last night, the NFLPA initiated two arbitration proceedings challenging the suspensions. The proceedings do not challenge the underlying facts, which were first shared with the union more than two months ago after being obtained from Saints executives, coaches, players, and others. The proceedings also do not challenge the reasonableness of the discipline imposed by the commissioner.
"In one proceeding, the union seeks immunity for the four suspended players, a position it never advanced during months of discussion on this matter. In the other, the union argues that someone other than the commissioner should have imposed the discipline.
"We expect that the arbitrators will 1) reject the union's efforts to protect players from accountability for prohibited and dangerous conduct directed against other players and 2) uphold the disciplinary process that was so carefully negotiated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement less than a year ago."

Puerto Rico abandons plan to build gas pipeline
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The government of Puerto Rico has formally withdrawn plans to build a natural gas pipeline after investing more than US$50 million in a project that provoked strong opposition from islanders and environmentalists.
A spokeswoman with the US Army Corps of Engineers said Friday that the agency received a letter requesting the project be abandoned.
The decision comes four months after a government-appointed committee rejected plans for the pipeline that would have bisected the island, and offered three alternatives.
Governor Luis Fortuno originally backed the project as a way to reduce dependence on oil. He said the 92-mile (148-kilometre) pipeline would have saved US$1 billion a year.
Government officials said they would consider other natural gas options and expect to choose one by mid-2013

Rob Zombie Directs Horror-Movie Parody for Woolite
2011-06-16 by Tim Nudd
Category: Press Releases
Rob Zombie, who directed the rebooted Halloween and Halloween II movies in recent years, brings more of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe to this new Woolite commercial from Euro RSCG, advising you not to torture you clothes with other detergents. Mr. Zombie, as he is referred to, of course, in the New York Times story, says the spot isn't scary at all—it's "more like a Tim Burton" film than something truly horrifying. The main character, he says, "is like Uncle Fester" from The Addams Family, and not "like some child killer out in the woods." Maybe, but the client still needed some convincing. When we saw the first storyboard we almost flipped from our chairs," says Reckitt Benckiser's Jiri Kulik. "Eventually, with testing, we got more and more comfortable with it."

Adam Lallana has become a handcrafted figurine made by toy manufacturors SoccerStarz
Updated 8:02am Wednesday 11th June 2014 in News By Michael Carr, Reporter
Here is Saints star Adam Lallana as you have never seen him before.
The 26-year-old Southampton midfielder has now had a handcrafted figure of him made by toy manufacturer SoccerStarz.
The tiny two inch sculptures pay attention to the tiniest details and take up to three months to complete.
It comes as his England shirt is the top-selling kit in England for the World Cup.
He won't be the only Saint that is sculpted by SoccerStarz, as Southampton midfielder and Uruguayan playmaker, Gaston Ramirez is also featured.
They will be sold at major retailers across 55 countries, and bosses at SoccerStarz say that the figures have been selling well.
A spokesman for SoccerStarz said: "We're thrilled to have launched an Adam Lallana SoccerStarz figure in the England Kit for Brazil 2014.
"Following a tremendous season for Southampton he is now being talked about in the same breath as Wilshere and Rooney and so it's no surprise he's part of the SoccerStarz collection.
"He has rapidly become one of the hottest properties in English football and long may it continue."
- A team pack of the England team costs £59.99 – which includes 24 figures, but no Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw as it was chosen three months before the squad was announced.
To buy Lallana by himself it would cost £3.99

Good atmosphere, very classic, comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Could improve the water flow from the shower, ar conditioner (maybe installing a split unit, less noisy), the corridor carpet is stained and smelly, the TV makes a "white" nose that makes it impossible to sleep while on. Very good reception and breakfast. Good location.

Where did the summer go?? At first i find myself ready to cut the lawn all over again after a long winters nap. With out too much snow last winter i had plenty of gas left over. So now with that said its time to take the cub and gett'er ready for its long winters sleep.
My checklist is;
Change the engine oil
Clean or replace the air filter
Clean or change the sparkplug
Top the gas tank and add seafoam (then i run it for a while to mix all the juices)
Charge the battery so its fully up
Oil the throttle/choke cables ( I have a cable lube system from the motorcycles)
Check the tranny oil level and change if dirty
Check the belts so you can get them before spring
Grease the front axle, mower deck
Sharpen the mower deck blades and check the spindles for any play in the bearings
Fill the tires with air were needed
At the sametime I make a check list of work to be done if it needs any more repairs, but i may get to them before spring if i can. maybe the throwout bearing is a tad noisy or the PTO or clutch has problems.
Now your cub cadet is ready for its winter nap.
If you want to add something that you do feel freel too we can all learn something new....

Palm Harbor, FL — David Edmondson, 88, of Palm Harbor, Fla., passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Born in England in 1925, he served proudly on a mine sweeper in the British Royal Navy in WWII, and played professional soccer for Middlesbrough, England, before emigrating to the United States in 1948. He was the owner of Home Decorating Center in Bradford, Mass., and Park Haven Rest Home in Haverhill, Mass. In 1975, he became the operations manager of the Boston Garden Sports Arena and held that position until his retirement in 1985.
David was loved and will be missed by many friends and family members. In his retirement years, he was an avid golfer and traveler, and enjoyed many happy hours with his grandchildren, who will always cherish wonderful memories of their trips to Florida. He will be fondly remembered for his dry British wit, his gentle manner, and his generous spirit. He loved classical music, golf, soccer, the coast of Maine, and a good cup of English tea. He was a scholar, a sportsman, and a gentleman.
He is survived by his wife, Claire Heath Edmondson; daughters, Pamela Edmondson and Walda Smith of Haverhill; son, David and wife, Norine, of Haverhill; son, Dennis and wife, Faithe MacElliott of Atkinson, N.H.; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; several cousins, nieces, and nephews; and many loving friends.
Claire would like to express her sincere gratitude to the Burgundy team of Suncoast Hospice.
Those wishing to, may make donations to Suncoast Hospice in David's memory.
ARRANGEMENTS: A celebration of David's life will be held at a later date.

Yesterday, our Chief Creative Director took time out of his busy schedule to lead the 2nd in a series of "Presentation Training" sessions. Our assignment—prepare a 1 minute wedding toast (to the person of our choosing). Oh, and watch Al Pacino's heart-wrenching, tear jerking, want-to-shout-from-the-top-of-a-mountain (and perhaps join a professional football team) speech from Any Given Sunday. Needless to say, I laughed, I cried (yes, actually tears), I cheered. But what did we learn?
As we went around the conference table, each of us standing to give our speech, we began to discuss the mechanics of giving a compelling speech. By dissecting each person's "performance", it was easy to see what we were doing right (naturally), and those places where we might need to improve a little. Basically, be S.U.P.E.R:
- Speak slowly - if you think you're speaking too slowly, you're probably going at a normal pace (when we get nervous, we tend to speed up).
- Use Your Environment - You don't have to stand in one place! This will force your audience to pay attention and follow you (with their eyes) around the room.
- Prepare – Rehearse what you're going to say. And try to do it without note cards. Note Cards immediately let the audience know that you're unsure of what you're about to say—if you don't know, why should they care?
- Enjoy silence – A powerful speech speeds up and slows down. Putting pauses in between sentences (at appropriate moments, of course) can make for a dynamic speech.
- Relax – Be confident in yourself & let your body language be accessible. The audience doesn't know what you're about to say, so just breath and speak naturally.
Simple. Just be SUPER.

Deafness hasn't stopped him from accomplishing any of his goals.
Elliott, who has been employed with the Walker County Board of Education as a network technician for the past 10 years, is originally from the Jasper area.
So how does he communicate with other technicians, teachers and students who don't know sign language? The answer is found in his field of expertise — technology.
"I'm using an iPad, as you can see, and I have a connection with my interpreter on his iPad. The interpreter will interpret everything they hear. The interpreter isn't even in the same state I'm in, unfortunately; they're several states away," Elliott said.
Things haven't always been as simple as looking at a video, tapping a few touch-screen buttons and communicating with family and friends over a computer.
Elliott remembers wearing an old-fashioned FM system, i.e. a box strapped to his chest with wires leading up to his hearing aids.
"What's interesting is at that time, I realized, 'Why am I wearing this big box with wires? No one else is wearing them but me,'" Elliott said. "So, I thought everyone was deaf. I thought no one could hear growing up until I wore this box, and then I realized I was different. I'm not like them."
When Elliott was younger, there weren't any deaf programs in the local public school systems, and there weren't many opportunities available for him in the community.
Around the age of 6, his parents still couldn't communicate with him very well. He was then sent to live in the dorms, Monday through Friday, at the Alabama School for the Deaf in Talladega. He only saw his family on the weekends.
"Prior to that, I couldn't communicate with other kids. At the Alabama School for the Deaf, everyone was like me," Elliott said. "It was wonderful. My communication skills developed quickly. I missed being with family, though, and got homesick. Around 1988, Curry established a program for the deaf, and my parents then transferred me from the Alabama School for the Deaf to the Curry school, starting from the time I was in third grade up until my senior year."
While attending Curry, Elliott met Linnea — now his wife of almost 10 years — who is also hard of hearing. Elliott says she can speak and hear fairly well with her hearing aids, but without them she can't hear at all. Linnea now teaches in the deaf program at Curry for kindergarten through 12th-grade students.
"We started dating when she was 16. Like all other couples, we'd communicate like normal hearing couples," Elliott said. "I had dated hearing girls, and it was difficult because they're not deaf like me. Communication was tough. With my wife, communication was easy. The culture and the language all fit together."
Now webcams, video phones, iPads, tablets, etc., have made it possible for those in the deaf community to communicate with people who don't know sign language.
But, when asked if Elliott considers his deafness a handicap, he replied, "No, I don't think it's a big barrier. It's not a handicap. I don't feel that way; however, the viewpoints of other people think I can't do this or that things are blocked and I won't know what to do. ... I can write, I can read, I can communicate, I do know what to do. It progressed from there and got better and better."
Elliott is one of seven children born to Virginia and the late Floyd Elliott. He has four sisters, a brother who has since passed away and one older brother who is also deaf, but from different circumstances. Elliott says he is very fortunate to have a great family support system, as well as support from his wife's side of the family — especially his father-in-law, David Hendon, the former principal at Curry Middle School.
"My entire family supported me. ... I was a little nervous to be honest [when hired by the board of education]. I was a little nervous on what they thought of me. How did they feel about me being on the team? Did they accept me with me being deaf?" Elliott questioned.
"Eight [individuals] applied. I gave them all tests, and he was the only one to ace the test," said Allen Taylor, network administrator for the county school system. "I knew then he was definitely the right person, but I was still conflicted as to how I could communicate with him. I decided I could make this work. I could communicate with him."
Teachers and others eventually started adapting to Elliott. But, what Elliott wants individuals to understand about the deaf community is that "They can do anything but hear. With the technology, they can really do anything. Anything is a possibility. The possibilities are unlimited for deaf people."
He says the important part and the key to deaf people becoming successful are parents and teachers.
"Teachers have to foster these deaf kids to know they have the ability to develop their skills and to know what their skills are, and parents who are raising kids who are deaf. ... I encourage parents and teachers in schools who don't know anything [about deaf individuals] to understand that they can have full access and communications for their needs. For their future work, they're able to do anything."
He also encourages companies to not be afraid of deaf individuals. Elliott said they have skills and talents like anyone else, and there are varieties of different communication tools now available to break down that barrier.
"Technology today is fantastic, and the potential is unlimited for deaf people. Most of the time, I think companies maybe don't have the understanding of how to communicate or have confidence on how they will interact with a deaf person," Elliott said. "But to a deaf person, they're the same as a hearing person; they're human beings like everybody else. There are emotions, there's sad and happy and everything else. The only difference is having and using the technology to communicate, otherwise it's exactly the same. There is no difference."
Elliott added that without the deaf program at Curry and his families' support, he wouldn't be the person he is today.
"I really want to say thank you. Thank you for featuring me as a person, not just as a deaf person, but using my skills to help other people with education, helping children and teachers and staff members throughout the entire county," Elliott said. "I enjoy that work, and I'm very appreciative of it. I just want to thank everybody."

Brian Church, 22, got 5 years in prison; Jared Chase, 29, got 8 years, and Brent Betterly, 26, received 6 years, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
Each had faced between four and 30 years in prison for possession of an incendiary device and misdemeanor mob action.
Cook County Judge Thaddeus Wilson said the men's actions might not have constituted terrorism but what they did was terrorizing.
Jurors cleared the men of more serious terrorism charges in early February.
Prosecutors sought a 14-year sentence for the men.
The high-profile trial raised questions about police entrapment, the First Amendment and whether the men were "overcharged" for their activities and drunken discussions before the NATO summit here two years ago.
State's Attorney Anita Alvarez vociferously defended charging the men under a little-used state terrorism statute and said she was proud of the two undercover officers who unveiled what prosecutors said was a dangerous plot to set police officers on fire and destroy police stations, President Barack Obama's headquarters and Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home.
"Have we forgotten about Boston? Have we forgotten about homemade bombs in backpacks?" she said following the Feb. 7 verdicts.
Church, Chase and Betterly were arrested on May 16, 2012, after four Molotov cocktails were made out of beer bottles at the Bridgeport apartments they were living in at the time.

Many of you have probably flushed them down your own toilet -- those cleansing wipes that say they're flushable.
While they may go down the drain easily, they could be causing major plumbing problems once they're in your pipes.
"You know we've actually gotten some good jewelry back, dentures, a cell phone and a kitty," says Linda Stanfield, owner of Benjamin Franklin Plumbers.
Yes, Linda Stanfield's plumbers did save a kitten from a toilet drain. That's certainly not "flushable."
But an item that claims to be keeps Benjamin Franklin Plumbing quite busy.
"One of ten clogs in a toilet we get have to do with flushable wipes."
The homeowner is always surprised by the source of their stinky situation.
"Because the normal public and what you see on the containers says go ahead and flush, it its safe its clean go ahead and do this, however not every toilet is the same. And not every toilet acts the same and not every sewer system acts the same so it's really important to know what it is that you're using to flush that down."
Stanfield recommends buying a toilet seat with a built in bidet. For about $1,500 to $2,000, you can get that same fresh clean feeling. It could even save you money in the long run.
The problem doesn't just stop at home. The National Association of Clean Water Agencies says the wipes have increasingly been causing problems for cities about four years now. Stanfield has heard those complaints in our state.
"They definitely do not want stuff going down the toilets including flushable wipes because they're causing nothing but sanitary problems, causing aquifer problems," says Stanfield.
Manufacturers argue that maybe adults are putting non-flushable baby wipes down their drains.

Both scripts look pretty useful, thanks!
(Paul, when's the t-shirt coming?)
I'm sure if i used Rhino I'd be adding more useful commentary - but instead I'm just caught up with the logo
are there going to be ranks?
great use of your school blog! much appreciated from the rest of us trying to streamline our rhino use.
they're a little bit buggy, though. the arcDist script likes to snap to apparently random places and creates runtime errors in lines 24 and 31 when escaping from a command and when exiting, respectively. check these out, and maybe use your fellow stuio-mates as guinea pigs before you post the next.
keep 'em coming, though.
jd, sorry to hear you're having some problems but remember to read the preface to the script: everything is provided as-is.
There's nothing in arcdist that effects snapping, so any odd snap behavior you're witnessing is a result of the normal rhino snaps...
they aren't actually errors jd. the script is returning a null value if you don't create an arc, and thus the error that comes up is Rhino telling you it doesn't have an arc to measure.

beats me where the snapping was coming from, but it was while measuring with no arc. problem solved; copy-paste.

The Birth of a Brand:
In 1906, William J. Riley, a 33 year old English immigrant, founded the New Balance Arch Support Company, which manufactured arch supports and other accessories designed to improve shoe fit, in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1934, Riley took on as a partner his top salesman, Arthur Hall, who had found his niche by marketing his products to policemen and other people whose jobs required them to spend a lot of time standing. In 1956, Hall sold the business to his daughter Eleanor and her husband Paul Kidd.
Eleanor and Paul continued to sell mainly arch supports until 1961, when they designed and manufactured the "Trackster," the world's first running shoe made with a ripple sole. It was also the first running shoe to come in varying widths. The Trackster became the shoe of choice for running coaches and fitness directors, and led to New Balance's growing reputation for manufacturing innovative and specialized footwear in multiple widths.
Made in USA:
New Balance is one of several shoe companies that still makes their products in the United States, and is the only shoe company that makes athletic sneakers domestically, stating on their website that around one quarter of their shoes are American-made in their own five factories, two of which are in Massachusetts and three of which are in Maine, and in a supplier's factory in California.
New Balance Today:
The company is now run by California native Rob DeMartini. DeMartini's background includes Proctor and Gamble and Gillette Shave Company. Critics say DeMartini big business experience is exactly what New Balance needs to take a global stance. New Balance employs more than 2,800 people around the globe, and in 2006 reported worldwide sales of $1.55 billion.
