EDMOND, Okla. —
JaNell met Bond through her aunt, who shows and raises soft-coated wheaten terriers. Bond was an unruly 8-week-old puppy.
"People have always said he and I have an unusual bond," Mayberry said.
In addition to search and rescue, Bond learned K-9 skills that allow him to sniff out drugs and locate offenders on the run. He also works as a therapy dog at hospitals and retirement communities.
Bond will travel to Pennsylvania next week to receive the Wheaten Ambassador Award from a national breeding club, in recognition for his contributions to the breed.
Mayberry said the award means a lot to her as Bond's owner and handler.
"It just tells you how unique this dog is," she said. "It means the world to me."

Boy wearing pink shoes vs. gender-neutral Easy-Bake Oven
Originally published: Dec 12, 2012 - 3:02 pm
Two child-related gender issues are currently taking the Internet by storm.
In the first issue, a boy's mother allowed him to wear pink zebra-striped shoes to school.
According to the Huffington Post, the boy's mother informed him that the shoes were designed for girls, but the boy, whose favorite animal is a zebra, replied that "ninjas can wear pink shoes too." The photo, posted to Facebook, drew both criticism and praise from thousands of users.
In the second issue, a top chef called for a gender-neutral Easy-Bake Oven, saying the colors the toy is produced in only appeal to little girls.
The call to action stemmed from a 13-year-old New Jersey girl who wanted to buy an Easy-Bake Oven for her 4-year-old brother but disliked that they only came in feminine colors. She started a petition to Hasbro, who makes the oven, to produce the over in more or gender-neutral colors.
We're wondering what you think: Is it now OK for a boy to wear pink shoes or is it time for a gender-neutral Easy Bake Oven? Do you think these issues make a difference in a child's future?

A brother for Lotus and Phoenix. Suggestions?
Hi! I hate baby naming. I just do. It's not fun for me. So! I very much welcome suggestions! I'll still be going through the books and searching online, but I will take all the help I can get!
Our daughter and son are Lotus and Phoenix. Our naming preferences are: Noun, in English, with a clear, known symbol (lotus, phoenix), nature or mythology preferred, the less common the better (Phoenix is uncomfortably popular for me). We like to be literal with the meanings: some people like name meanings like "Susan, it means lily". No, Susan means Susan and Lily means lily. That's just how we roll and its what works for us. No worries about having "weird" names as we live in a hippy liberal town where weird names are common.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have!

Aquilo ("AK-wuh-loh" is the ancient Roman personification of the north wind)
Boreas ("BAWR-ee-uhs" or "BOHR-ee-uhs" is the ancient Greek personification of the north wind)
Eider ("AHY-der," waterfowl found in the Arctic Circle)
Polaris (the North Star's proper name)

Real Estate SEO is the essence of lead generation in the home selling industry hands down. You're in business to get leads who will hire you to buy or sell a home. 90% of buyers start online and sellers are sneaking in the back door, so to speak, to search for answers to how to get the most for the sale of their home. Real estate agents are not the first thing they're looking for so the strategy is a little more of a challenge to be seen by them.
Answering Real Estate Questions for Sellers and Buyers with SEO
If you're looking for buyers, the formula is really straightforward. Find out what locations and keywords your market tends to search most. Don't forget that terms like Boca Raton real estate are going to be heavily influenced by other agents searching to see where they rank in Google. If you have 1,000 agents in your market and 10% of them search at least once per week for mytown real estate, then that is 4.2 X 100 or 420 searches a month by real estate agents alone. In most markets, that accounts for more agents than buyers.
The keywords to target for money are the other terms and niches like homes for sale in Boca Raton. Yes, the SEO conscious realtors and agents will be checking that out too, but not to the scale of the industry term. People in business mistakenly think in the terms of their industry but shoppers and sellers not so much. They use whatever comes to mind. Effective real estate SEO strategy means you'll think more in the mindset of your customers when choosing what to target. A single post with the right touch of "honey" in terms of buyer intent keywords can answer a question in a way that Trulia, Zillow, etc will never do.
Here are 2 examples where I have reigned in search results with absolutely no contest or resistance from Google or competitors. I do get search traffic every month for these terms so they're real and valuable for any agent who could deliver on them- which is quite realistic since I only created posts for what I knew existed in both cases.
1. Corona homes with casita and pool. Generally, I'm in the top 3 for this terms and its variations. I have been there for over 4 years throughout every Panda, Farmer, Penguin update, etc. Some things are so within reach but people just won't take them. That post is not juiced up with a bunch of links or any other magic SEO serum. It's just specific long tail search opportunity that a real estate agent should have taken for themselves a long time ago. If you're in the Orange County SEO market, you can count on me to deliver success in business visibility from search engine optimization that works.
2. Massapequa real estate with back yard docks Another infrequently searched term but similar searches are more frequent than you would think and again, predictably regular traffic goes to this post just for being there. I posted this to show an agent who asked about getting more exposure online.
This is all low hanging fruit and it's in every market. Yours just for taking a few minutes to think through about what people want and create answers for them. The ones most likely to buy will find you.
Are you thinking from the perspective of the people who are about to spend money?

Graphics: Saving options for JPG in Photoshopstarted by Terryk on Jan 6, 2004 — RSS Feed
Posts: 9
I'm graphics-challenged and could use some help...
When saving a JPG in Photoshop (I'm using an old version: 4), it gives these options:
- Baseline 'Standard'
- Baseline 'Optimized'
- Progressive / # of Scans
Can anyone explain the difference to me, and which one offers the best optimization for the lowest file size? I've got GIF optimization figured out, but still end up with weighty files when saving as JPG.
Joe Gillespie
Posts: 528
Saving JPEGs has come on a long way since Photoshop 4. There is now a 'Save for Web' feature which gives a side-by-side comparison (before and after) and you can easily see where the critical compression point is in real time. You can also see if JPEG is the correct format because you can compare GIF and PNG versions in the same field of view.
The options you mention are still present when you do a regular 'Save as...' with JPEG.
'Baseline Optimized' gives a slightly smaller file size than 'Baseline' at the expense of compatibility with older browsers. I wouldn't worry too much about older browsers these days, always use 'Optimized'. It is ticked as default in more recent versions of PS.
'Progressive' isn't very relevant these days either. It builds the picture up in the browser as the data downloads. It's only really significant with slow connections or very large images. Seeing the image gradually build up in resolution gives the impression of a faster download to the viewer – but if you measure it with a stopwatch, actually takes longer. This is unchecked by default now.
The 'Save for Web' feature that was introduced in later versions, also includes a 'blur' control that reduces filesize further, although I've never found it particularly useful.
The only thing that really matters with a JPEG is the 'Quality' slider and the little extra effort involved in catching that 'sweet point' where compression artefacts just become unnoticable.

Monday's fuel-mileage race at Chicagoland Speedway dramatically shook up the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup point standings after just one race.
Race runner-up Kevin Harvick is the new Chase points leader after former No. 1 seed Kyle Busch ran out of fuel on the last lap and fell all the way to ninth in the standings.
Tony Stewart is second – seven points behind Harvick – and Carl Edwards is third.
Five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson's 11th-place finish puts him eighth in the standings. Johnson is 16 points behind Harvick.
Denny Hamlin took the biggest hit of the day. His 31st-place finish left him in last place – 41 points behind the leaders, which is basically a full race.
Here is the current top 12 for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase standings:
- Kevin Harvick
- Tony Stewart -7
- Carl Edwards -10
- Kurt Busch -11
- Dale Earnhardt Jr. -13
- Brad Keselowski -14
- Ryan Newman -14
- Jimmie Johnson -16
- Kyle Busch -19
- Matt Kenseth -24
- Jeff Gordon -25
- Denny Hamlin -41

If you are using YouTube, as far as I understand you can pretty much create the video in any format you like (or any format that YouTube recognises) and it will convert it to a range of formats that will make it viewable on the various devices. I assume Vimeo does the same (though I haven't viewed Vimeo vids on the iPhone, so not sure how it behaves. Must try it.)

I were recently uploading a few videos on YouTube and tried to create the vids through Windows Movie Maker. Very disappointing software as it's too slow and you do not have that many functions to tweak. So I tried a free software called Freemake Video Converter. It's simply great and fast too. Try it out!Hypernova Graphic Design Studio

The orchestra started out, after World War II, in 1947, as the in-house full orchestra regularly playing music for film, television and animation productions at the world famous Barrandov Film Studios , in Prague, as well as the historic Krátký Film productions (meaning "short film," in Czech), and the former Czechoslovak Television. At the time, it was somewhat smaller than today and it was called the Filmový symfonický orchestr (FISYO) (The Film Symphony Orchestra) or was sometimes known as the Film Symphony of Prague.

Another bottle shared by Tomme and crew. Poured into a tasting snifter.
Appearance: Pours a reddish amber color with just a ring of off white head.
Smell: Sweet and tart with some cherries and funk. I'm getting some brown sugar sweetness from the malt.
Taste: Brown sugar notes from the malt right off the bat. Tart fruit notes along with some funk. The cherries are nice with the sweet and sour flavors. The finish is sour and a little bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with fluffy, tingly carbonation and a slick finish.
Overall: This is a complex beer. The tartness is rather smooth. I really enjoyed the malt sweetness combined with the sour flavors.

Thanks Johnfrompurdue. I figured I'd never see this one.
Pours somewhere between a ruby and light brown. Good head, good retention. Musty sour faded red wine grapes on the nose, slight oak. Taste shows soured old grapes, slight oak, little amount of sweetness and dryness balancing each other and neither really come through. Nicely carbonated and great on the palate.
I know this is supposed to have fallen off, but for not having it before it is a very well done AWA.

From 04/14/12 notes. Had this one at the DC Lambic & Sour Tasting as part of a full Veritas set, 001-010.
a - Pours a murky dark mahogany brown color with one inch of off white head and light carbonation evident. Looks just like Veritas 002.
s - Smells of sour cherries and dark fruits, light oak, alcohol, and roasted malts. Reminds me of Veritas 001 though not as strong or sour.
t - Tastes of sour cherries, tart dark fruits, bourbon, roasted malts, oak, alcohol. Taste is not as sour as the nose. Again, like a poor man's Veritas 001.
m - Medium body and light carbonation. Easy to drink beer, great mouthfeel.
o - Overall I thought this was a good beer, btu I preferred Veritas 001 to this quite a bit. Both had sour cherries and dark fruits to them, but this was just a bit weaker in the nose and taste. A good beer worth seeking out, but I'd rather have 001.

Shared at a ridiculous tasting last weekend. Consumed with all ten Veritas beers on April 14, 2012.
The beer is mahogany hued with a small off white head. The aroma offers wine, oak, tannins, fruit, acidity, cherries. Very tasty beer. The flavor is bold, yet smooth, while still achieving balance - impressive. Cherries come through in the flavor, though not nearly in the same manner as a kriek. Light in body and enjoyable to drink. Overall, this was quite tasty, though not on par with 004-006.

Bottle shared by jtclockwork. Jan/Feb of 2011, I believe. Not quite clear shining ruby red color with a small off-white head. Funky aroma with a hint of cheese, sour, bourbon, and more. Big sour flavor with dark cherries, wood, more sour, bitter wood and bourbon, and general awesomeness. This stuff is amazing!

Very surprised to hear a generous pop from the bottle when we slid the cork out. On the pour this baby came out a deep brown rusty murky red color with a fair amount of haze. When I was done I was left with a thin half finger thick tan colored head that seemed prickly and disappeared quickly. Not much viscosity on the glass when I gave a swirl.
Huge burst of cherry pie and tart acid like aromas that over take my snifter. Some lacto caramel like bread flavors are poking through. Lots of woody vanilla flavors on top of more vinegar sherry oxidized fruits.
Wow, big hit of tartness and cherry flavors. I am not sure if this beer eventually morphed into Red Poppy or not but it really taste like cuvee de tomme and Red Poppy on steroids. Dark plums, funk, wood tannins and more over ripened cherries. with some oxidation due to age this is fantastic and really makes it a slow sipper and lets me enjoy the small nuances
Glad this one was busted out on my birthday weekend. it was a real treat and was enjoyed with some great friends. A over the top sour ale that was and delicious. drinkability was pretty slow only becuase I wanted to savor the flavors. Really wish another one of these would cross my path.

A branchial cleft abnormality is a mass of abnormally formed tissues within the neck. These tissues may form pockets called cysts that contain fluid, or they may form passages that drain to an opening in the skin surface called fistulas. Branchial cleft abnormalities are usually located near the front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which is the neck muscle that extends from the mastoid (jawbone) across to the clavicle (collarbone) and sternum (breastbone). Different types of branchial cleft abnormalities include the following:
Cysts or sinuses. These are deep tissue pockets or cavities containing fluid.
Fistulas. These are drainage passages from internal tissues to the skin surface.
A branchial cleft abnormality is a congenital (present from birth) defect that occurs during early embryonic development when the structures and tissues that form the neck and throat do not properly grow together. The tissues form pockets and pathways that contain cells from other parts of the neck and throat. Branchial cleft cysts are lined with skin and lymph cells and contain fluid that is secreted by these cells. Branchial cleft fistulas also contain skin cells but drain mucus and fluids from other internal areas of the neck and throat.
Branchial cleft abnormalities are usually small, but can enlarge enough to cause difficulty swallowing and breathing. The following are the most common symptoms of a branchial cleft abnormality. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Small lump or mass to the side of the neck near the front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (usually only on one side of the neck, rarely on both sides; usually painless unless infected)
Small opening in the skin that drains mucus or fluid near the front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle
The symptoms of a branchial cleft abnormality may resemble other neck abnormalities or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Branchial cleft abnormalities are diagnosed by physical examination. Generally, the specific location of the mass or the fistula opening on the skin can help in the diagnosis. A branchial cleft cyst may not be noticed unless it becomes infected and is painful. The skin opening of a branchial cleft fistula drains mucus, and often pulls back into the skin with swallowing movement.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a branchial cleft abnormality may include the following:
Computed tomography scan (also called CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays and are used to determine the exact location and extent of the abnormality.
Biopsy. A procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope.
Fine needle aspiration of the fluid (for further examination)
Specific treatment of a branchial cleft abnormality will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include surgery to remove the mass. Antibiotics may be required for infections.

It's sad for me to see that the saga I loved the most out of all gets the least love from OP fans. Yeah, as the review states, they cram a flashback right in the middle of the big damn fight - it happens in the manga too -; and yeah, it drags in spots - although anyone who found this any draggier than Water Seven should go back and re-evaluate that saga. But this fight was one of the rather few in all of OP that deserved the now cliched "epic" moniker. Eneru's power and how he handles it makes the character memorable in how much trouble he gave the Straw Hats. They've faced fiercer and deadlier foes, but none as driven and, shall we say, rather creative in his way of making fights unexpected - I loved the golden ball detail, for one.
Not to mention, the entire saga deals with a land high above the clouds with the sheer wonder of discovery and majesty that overcomes the crew. It does follow the template nearly every other saga follows, but as far as a change of pace from the arid deserts of Alabasta or the frigid mountains or wherever Chopper is from, it stands on its own.
So yeah, it's the one saga that makes me back and say "man, Oda can come up with some seriously fun ideas" as opposed to how overlong Water Seven or out-of-place Thriller Bark turned out to be for me.

|At least they didn't drag it out as far as the fight they just finished in the simulcasts. I realize that's allowing the manga to get ahead, and yeah, it was good, but even any of those who didn't read the manga could tell they were dragging it waaaaaaay the heck out.

I think you may be referring to Enies Lobby, which yeah was pretty long, Water Seven I think was short, to the point and very satisfying.
Although I'm right there with you on Thriller Bark, wasn't a fan of it at all

|I was kind of surprised to see Carl state that the flashback episodes lost all of their impact due to their positioning, as I enjoyed them very much myself regardless. (And really, that golden ball allows for so very many dirty jokes, how can you not love it? ) Regardless of one's feelings on those particular points, though, Enel poses a more visceral menace than any antagonist in the series thus far, and seeing him brought down like that is immensely satisfying. On a broader scale, I have a huge soft spot for the entire Skypiea Saga as a whole...for one, it's where I first started watching the series with FUNi's dubbed broadcast episodes, and for another, it's pretty much the only place in the entire series where the Straw Hats get to go on an adventure solely for adventure's sake, just to explore a fantastic new world. spoiler[It's also pretty much the only time they act like pirates and score some booty, too.] Also, how many other shounen out there do you know of that have managed to tackle such heady topics as religion and centuries of racial injustice?

I thought the fight was dragged out for a good reason. spoiler[It was an immense war with a lot of key figures at play. It would be really difficult to go over every little detail or emphasize how epic it was even in the span of a couple of episodes] But admittedly, they did drag it out more than what they needed to. With the anime being so close to the manga, It's either that or a lengthy filler arc. Which we haven't seen since after the conclusion of Enies Lobby. Overall, I can't say I'm really bothered with One Piece's lengthy arcs. I got accustomed to that after watching plenty of shows with the same quirks.
As far as how out of place some of the arcs are, well that's just One Piece for ya. Everything seems out of place. Thriller Bark had Brook, a key character, and his somber past. Which the anime did great justice with.

It's been forever since I last saw Skypeia, but wasn't that flashback where spoiler[we learn the importance of the bell between Norlan and the Shandians? Or something like that? Cause without it then Luffy ringing the bell wouldn't have nearly as much impact?] I always liked that One Piece took time to give backstory before big fights. Like in the Water 7/Ennies Lobby arc, us getting to see spoiler[the past of Nico Robin and the damage the Buster Call did to her island really helped drive in the severity of Spandam's actions].
I mean, if the reviewer wants the final fight of Skypeia to have no bigger meaning other than Luffy punching out another bad guy, then sure, I can somewhat see the reviewer's side. For me though, it's that crucial backstory and well-crafted arcs that separate One Piece from the other big shounen anime.
Though, like I said, it has been a long time since I watched Skypeia, so the flashbacks perhaps didn't give any bigger meaning to the fight at all.

Yes, that is very true. I honestly don't really think of FMA as a "standard" shounen, so it didn't even come to mind.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk chose not to attend a White House ceremony because of comments made by President Obama in support of Planned Parenthood.
Obama honored the Baltimore Ravens June 5 for their Super Bowl championship but Birk did not join his former teammates for the event. Birk, 36, retired after February's Super Bowl win.
A pro-life Roman Catholic and father of six, Birk said his decision stemmed from the president's speech to Planned Parenthood's national conference in April. At the close of his remarks, Obama said, "Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you. God bless America."
Planned Parenthood is the country's leading abortion provider, performing nearly 334,000 abortions in the most recent year for which statistics are available.
"I would say that I have great respect for the office of the presidency, but about five or six weeks ago, our president made a comment in a speech and he said, 'God bless Planned Parenthood,'" Birk told radio station KFAN-FM, according to The Baltimore Sun.
"Planned Parenthood performs about 330,000 abortions a year," Birk continued. "I am Catholic, I am active in the pro-life movement and I just felt like I couldn't deal with that. I couldn't endorse that in any way. I'm very confused by [Obama's] statement. For God to bless a place where they're ending 330,000 lives a year? I just chose not to attend."
MARRIAGE KEEPS KIDS OUT OF POVERTY -- The U.S. Department of Labor produced a report in 1965 arguing that "the decline of the black nuclear family would significantly impede blacks' progress toward economic and social equality." The document, known as the "Moynihan Report," stirred heated controversy. The Urban Institute revisited the subject this year.
The new study again focused on the African American community and its disproportionately high poverty rate. Once again, it found that single-parent households lead to poverty, but now the percentage of black children born to unmarried mothers is three times higher than it was in the 60s.
The share of white children living without fathers also has increased, but rates remain significantly higher among blacks. In 2009, nearly three-fourths of African American children were born outside of marriage, resulting in 40 percent of black children living below the poverty line.
Regardless of race, single-parent families are far more likely to live in poverty, with four of every 10 single-mother families in poverty and only one of 12 two-parent homes in poverty. Another study by the Heritage Foundation found that most poor children are from single-parent families.
The new Urban Institute study gives a sobering perspective: "Over the past five decades, the statistics that so alarmed Moynihan in the 1960s have only grown worse, not only for blacks, but for whites and Hispanics as well."
Things are bad, but they don't have to stay that way. Marriage, according to the statistics, drops the probability of child poverty by 82 percent.
SUPREME COURT DENIES ABORTION IMAGERY CASE -- The U.S. Supreme Court on June 10 refused to hear an appeal of a Colorado ruling that bars protesters from displaying graphic images of abortion in places that might upset children.
The case originates from a 2005 protest near an outdoor Palm Sunday service at Denver's Saint John's Cathedral Episcopal Church -- a congregation known for its support of abortion -- during which anti-abortion activists held up graphic images of aborted babies. The church sued the lead activist, Kenneth Scott, for displaying the gruesome images with 200 children present. Both the lower court and the Colorado appeals court ruled in favor of the church, saying there was a "compelling government interest in protecting children from disturbing images."
Scott filed a petition seeking Supreme Court review. His attorney, UCLA professor and blogger Eugene Volokh, argued that "the 'gruesome images' provision restricts speech that is central to petitioners' message," and the restriction is content-based, applying to a "quintessential traditional public forum, a public sidewalk."
The Supreme Court denied hearing the case and gave no reason for its decision.
"This remains as an issue across the country, and perhaps one day the U.S. Supreme Court will hear another case like it," Volokh said.
According to The New York Times, Volokh told justices that allowing the presence of children to limit what adults may see could justify all sorts of pernicious restrictions on speech. He added that Scott's images provided valuable information to young people. "Regrettably, many American girls are getting pregnant, and participating in the making of decisions about abortion, even in their teens," Volokh said. "Children must be allowed the freedom to form their moral, religious and political views about abortion on the basis of uncensored speech before they reach the age when they have to decide whether to have an abortion."
In a brief supporting Scott, First Amendment lawyers and scholars wrote, "The decision of the Colorado Court of Appeals, which upholds a content-based restriction on political speech in a public place, is fundamentally incompatible with this Court's understanding of the First Amendment. It should not be allowed to stand. ... The Constitution does not permit the government to restrict speech because it offends or disturbs others."
Volokh told The Times that vivid images are "very often the most effective way of conveying a moral truth,' and that 'the gruesomeness of the image reflects the gruesomeness of the act [abortion].'"
ELCA LUTHERANS NAME OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL BISHOP -- The Southwest California Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America now has an openly gay bishop, the ELCA's first.
R. Guy Erwin -- a pastor in Los Angeles, professor at California Lutheran University and holder of a doctorate and two master's degrees -- told the gay rights organization GLAAD, "I know that many will see my election as a significant milestone for both LGBT people and Native Americans, and I pray that I can be a positive representation for both communities."
The ELCA adopted a policy in 2009 allowing those in "publicly accountable, lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships to serve as rostered leaders of this church." The denomination has steadily lost members since its founding in 1987 but experienced a dip in membership after the 2009 decision. More than 600 congregations have left the denomination since the changed policy. The ELCA still has more than 4 million members, spread over 9,638 congregations.
The split echoes divisions among Episcopalians after their denomination opened the door to homosexual ministers in 2009. Many lawsuits over church property between disagreeing churches and the denomination after the decision have ended with church property awarded to the denomination and congregations left to fend for themselves.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) also removed its ban on gay ministers and ordained its first openly gay minister in 2011.
The more conservative Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod are separate denominations from the ELCA and do not support its decision to ordain homosexuals.
A cooperative statement released May 30 by the Anglican Church in North America, Lutheran Church-Canada, North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod affirmed a biblical view of marriage and sexuality: "Scripture holds forth a vision of human life as male and female -- one which invites us to see that as embodied creatures, our Creator intends great joy for us. ... God gave marriage as a picture of the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church. ... As a man and woman relate to one another with rich love and profound respect, their one flesh union hints of and is intended to signify the union of Christ and His bride, the church."

Town Square
Its future uncertain, JJ&F Market to close
Original post made on Aug 29, 2013

Can't they just move to the recently closed supermarket on Alma / East Meadow?
on Aug 29, 2013 at 11:01 am
Wish they'd taken the "Miki's" site on Alma instead of the "discount grocery store" that are far as I know, offers food of poor quality (if it can be called food).
Glad I don't own one of those million plus homes behind Miki's. [Portion removed.]
on Aug 29, 2013 at 11:13 am
Still missing Miki's, but we would welcome JJ&F in its place. I heard that Grocery Outlet will be moving in. Whose brilliant idea was that? I would rather drive across town to Trader Joe's even though it's out of the way. I live very close to where Miki's used to be and was a loyal shopper there. I will not shop at Grocery Outlet.

This information will help you with the first few weeks with your new teacup Yorkie , teacup Maltese or teacup Pomeranian . Because of their small
size, the micro teacup and tiny toy puppies must replenish their energy source more often than a large breed puppy. The best way to do this is to make
sure the teacup Yorkie , teacup Maltese or teacup Pomeranian puppies eat 3 to 4 times a day. Micro and Tiny Teacup puppies eat smaller amounts at
one time, so they will need puppy food more often. It is important not to change the micro teacup puppies type of food for the first few weeks. When you
do, you need to slowly make the change by mixing the new food in with their old food type over a period of 3 to 4 days to gradually make the change.
Teacup Yorkshire Terrier puppies, Biewer Parti Yorkies, Teacup Maltese puppies and Teacup Pomeranian puppies are stressed when they change
their environment. Taking a teacup puppy from its mother and siblings to a new home is very stressful to a tiny puppy. It is important to make the teacup
puppy feel safe in a quite location with no loud noises or high activity. Play time for a teacup Yorkie puppy, teacup Maltese puppy, tiny Biewer Parti
Yorkie puppy or teacup Pomeranian puppy should be limited to 10 to 15 minutes a couple of times a day to reduce the risk of low sugar. Keep
themconfined in an small area for the first few weeks in their new home. Housebreaking will be much easier too, if they are not allowed to roam around
the entire house. An infant playpen is perfect for the new tiny puppy. Keeping your teacup puppy in a closed small room like the bathroom also works
well for the first few weeks. Make sure your new teacup puppy has fresh water and food available at all times.
|~~Pomeranian Breed Information~~
Pomeranians are small puppy dogs weighing (4.2–7.7 lb) and standing 5.0–11 inches high at the
withers. They are compact but sturdy puppy dogs with an abundant textured coat with a highly
plumed tail set high and flat. The top coat forms a ruff of hair on the neck and back, and they also
have a fringe of feathery hair on the hindquarters. The earliest teacup Pom puppies were white or
occasionally black, Queen Victoria adopted a small red Pomeranian in 1888, which caused that
color to become fashionable by the end of the 19th century. In modern times, the Pomeranian
puppies come in the widest variety of colors of any dog breed, including white, black, brown, red,
orange, cream, blue, sable, black and tan, brown and tan, spotted, brindle puppies, plus
combinations of those colors. The most common colors are orange, black or cream/white. The
Merle Pomeranian is a recent color developed by breeders. It is a combination of a solid base color
with lighter blue/grey patch which gives a mottled effect. The most common base colors for the
effect are red/brown or black puppies, although it can also appear with other puppy colors.
Combinations such as brindle Merle or liver Merle are not accepted in the teacup Pomeranian
puppy breed standard. In addition, the eye, nose and paw pad colors are different in Merle puppies,
changing parts of the eye to blue and the color on the nose and paw pads to become mottled pink
and black.
Pomeranian puppies are typically a very friendly and lively breed of puppy dog. Teacup Pomeranian
puppies love to be around their owners and are known to be protective of them as well. Tiny
Pomeranian puppies bond quickly with their owners, and can suffer from separation anxiety if not
trained to spend time alone. Pomeranian dogs are alert and aware of changes in their
environment and barking at new stimuli can develop into a habit of barking excessively in any
situation. Teacup Pom puppies are somewhat defensive of their territory and will thus bark when
they encounter any outside noises. Pomeranian puppies are intelligent dogs, respond well to
training, and can be very successful in getting what they want from their owners. Teacup
Pomeranian Puppies tend to seek out cooler environments, and it is common to find one lying down
on a cold floor like a tiled floor that is usually cold in the night and day. The Tiny Pomeranian Puppy
breed is good for apartment living and are very active indoors.
The average life expectancy of a teacup Pomeranian puppy is 12 to 16 years. A well bred puppy
dog on a good diet with appropriate exercise will have few health problems, and if kept trim and fit
a teacup Pomeranian puppy is a sturdy little dog.

TAZEWELL COUNTY, Ill. -- The November 17th tornado tested not just the readiness of our first responders, but those who send them out.
We recently spoke to one 911 dispatcher who came into work after the tornadoes hit.
"Certainly we have days where we are busy but nothing compares to what happened that day," said dispatcher Elizabeth Ramia.
"Huge amounts of calls because Washington wasn't able to take calls. We had six consoles going at one time and at one of them alone we took like four or five hundred phone calls. These people are calling on the worst day of their lives but for us this is what we do so for us we have to really focus on getting things done versus getting caught up in the emotional part of it. As awful as it was and as bad as we feel for all the victims of this, it helped us want to be better and feel like we're trying to do the best we can for the community."

Court Security
Convicted in case with 7-year max, man took cyanide in courtroom and died
Posted Jul 2, 2013 12:10 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Convicted of a sex crime and facing a possible maximum prison sentence of seven years, a Missouri man took cyanide in court and died minutes after the verdict was announced last week.
Steve Parsons, 48, was the well-known owner of a St. Joseph, Mo., area tire shop, but also had a lengthy court record including traffic tickets, civil suits, some criminal charges and probation violations and a protective order, according to Fox 4 News and KCTV.
Officials say they think Parsons had the pill in his mouth when he entered the courtroom, and apparently activated it when he took a drink from a cup of water after the verdict was read. A search of his home and car showed that he had recently ordered a shipment of cyanide.
He was convicted in Nodaway County, after a change of venue, in a 2011 felony case filed in Gentry County for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
"I can't speculate to what he was going through, but I'm firmly convinced that his death was not a result of a wrongful verdict by the jury," said Jerome Y. "Jerry" Biggs, who serves as the chief prosecutor for Gentry County.
The articles don't include any comment from Parsons' counsel.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
A charming ferry ride from Cirkewwa brings you to Gozo, a small island with a rugged landscape and beautiful coastline.
There is so much to see here, starting with the two massive Ghantija Temples, which may have been built 6,000 years ago. Legend has it that they were the work of giants. Archaeologists believe the temples to be the world's oldest, freestanding structures.
Next, you will visit another famed ancient site on Gozo - Calypso Cave, thought to be the cave described in Homer's "Odyssey," where the sea nymph Calypso kept Odysseus for seven years. While the island is a place of myth and legend, there is no denying its importance during the Roman period, which you will discover in Rabat, where St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked in 60 A.D.
Following lunch at a local restuarant, you will have some free time to explore the fishing village of Xlendi, which is famous for its tower, which was built in the mid-1600s to protect the bay.
Please note: On Sunday an external visit and explanation of the Cathedral will be done.

Customer Testimonial
This was and is an old basement but certainly your product has dressed it up considerably. Believe it or not, we spray painted all the tiles with cans of paint since we could not find a color we liked in large quantity. We used the Rustoleum hammered copper and we really do like it. The name of the color is on the back of the can in very small print. It had the shine we thought we needed. Actually, we did try several other colors before deciding on this particular one. This room has worn many hats through the years but has always been a home theater room... long before home theaters evolved. At the same time it has been an exercise room, wine storage, foos ball and pinball with darts. The children grew up and now it's just wine and movies. Everyone who sees it, has liked it and has planned a use for it. Unfortunately, not everyone takes the time to paint and install so those same guys installing those ugly white perforated ceilings should be talking these up to their customers. Your help was invaluable. We so appreciate you. We think you have a wonderful product and hope the best for you. Thanks again for all your help.

Customer Testimonial
I must tell you at first I was quite skeptical about the product. Something about the weight and material was not appealing at first and I thought to myself "what did I get myself into"? However after installing the product in three areas of the basement, I can say that the product is the first area that people comment when they come into the room. They think the material is either carved wood or metal and expect the costs to be significantly higher than the standard store bought flat tiles. They are shocked by both the true costs and the actual materials and when they understand the ease of installation, the product sells itself. The home theater is a pleasure to sit in with the lights dimmed low and the tile provide a surprising amount of sound absorption. Great product and even better customer service!
