What it does
TradeSkillInfo is an add-on that gives you all the information that you need about tradeskills, including the ones that your character cannot craft.
It can add the following information to the tooltip of an item:
- What tradeskills it is used in, and how many different recipes for that tradeskill it is used in.
- Which of your characters can use the item.
- Where the item comes from: bought from a vendor, dropped, disenchanted or crafted.
It can add the following information to the tooltip for recipes and crafted items:
- If any of your characters knows the recipe.
- If any of your characters are able to learn the recipe.
- If any of your characters will be able to learn the recipe in the future.
- Where the recipe comes from: bought from a vendor, quest reward, dropped or crafted.
In the tradeskill craft window it will show:
- The cost of the combine (auctioneer or vendor prices), how much the result sells for to a vendor and the profit/loss.
- At what skill levels the recipe will change to a different difficulty level.
For example, "40/60/80/120" means the recipe is learnable at skill level 40, will turn yellow at 60, green at 80 and grey at 120.
TradeSkillInfo also has it's own Browser module which is installed as a separate load-on-demand add-on. It is opened by typing "/tsi" or by binding a key in the keybindings interface.
QuickSearch an item in the inventory will open the Browser and show all recipes that use that item.
QuickSearch key-mouse combination is configurable. The default is control rightclick.
Right-clicking a reagent icon in the Browser while visiting an auction house will perform a search for that reagent.
Shift-clicking on the recipe name in the list will paste the recipe link into an open chat editbox.
In the Browser you can browse all tradeskill recipes in the game.
- Freetext search on recipe name and reagent names.
- Expand or collapse which tradeskills to show.
- Filter which recipes to show:
- If your current character knows the recipe.
- If your current character can learn the recipe now.
- If your current character will be able to learn the recipe later.
- If one of your other characters knows the recipe.
- If one of your other characters can learn the recipe now.
- If one of your other characters will be able to learn the recipe later.
- If it is not known by any of your characters.
Recipe names are colour coded in the Browser.
- White: Current character knows the recipe.
- Light Green: Current character can learn the recipe now.
- Yellow: Current character will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Grey: One of your other characters knows the recipe.
- Dark Green: One of your other characters can learn the recipe now.
- Orange: One of your other characters will be able to learn the recipe later.
- Red: Not known by any of your characters.
For items not yet cached by your WoW client, the icon will be a red question mark and clicking on it will try and to request item data from the server.
What it does not do
TradeSkillInfo is purely an informational tool and will not assist you in crafting items.
A graphical configuration window can be opened by typing "/tsi config", right-clicking on the provided "data broker" object or by binding a key in the keybindings interface.
Almost everything can be turned on or off according to your needs and preferences.
Known issues
- Some Blacksmithing and Tailoring recipes added in with Patch 5.2 have not yet been added to the database.
- A couple of Jewelcrafting and Inscription recipes may appear more than once in the Browser module. This is due to how Blizzard recycles crafting "spells".
- Enchanting scroll data is incomplete.

Thank you for recently updating this addon! I have used this forever and I do not ever want to be without it. :)
Are you going to update it with the new patterns and such from 5.4? I noticed in my Leatherworking that they are missing.
Thanks again for an awesome addon! Ehala

In Chat settings, I have the checkbox for Tradeskills unchecked so I don't see every time someone crafts an item.
Something is constantly re-checking this checkbox so that my chat window remains filled with "JoeBlow created MonsterKillingSword."
Do you have any idea whether something in TradeSkillInfo could be doing this? I'll also consult with the developer(s) of Professions Vault in case they know anything.

AfterEllen.com's Guide to Lesploitation Movies
Long before the days of Ellen DeGeneres, Go Fish and Rosie O'Donnell's haiku blog, fringe movies with titles such as Chained Girls and Caged Heat — what we now call "lesploitation" — were virtually the only place gays and lesbians could find themselves represented on-screen. While there is certainly plenty of material in these films that could be deemed offensive, in general the more outrageous a film was, the less judgmental it was. By today's standards, even the most risqué of them are relatively tame.
The word "lesploitation" describes a film in which the use of lesbian imagery and content are used for commercial purposes. And though the lesploitation genre came about strictly as a cash-grab, exploitation films — including categories such as blaxploitation and sexploitation — served a societal purpose as well. Their production values were quite low, but they represented an alternative to mainstream Hollywood and were some of the few films that presented same-sex sexuality in a relatively positive light.
Exploitation movies often justified their lurid story lines by framing them with a moralizing introduction in pseudo-educational language. For example, the 1965 lesploitation classic Chained Girls purports to raise public awareness about the "complex problem" of lesbianism, beginning with the following introduction:
Who and what is a lesbian? Is lesbianism a disease, or a natural occurrence? Is lesbianism reserved for only a few people, or is it a common happening? How do lesbians live? Are they happy with their lives? And how does society view them?
This Wild Kingdom-like outlook reflects the time period in which the films were made, and watched in hindsight, they manage to be entertaining and offensive, progressive and archaic, titillating and revolting all at once. They are often shockingly bad, but they are also campy and queer, as well as incredible examples of the stereotypes that still plague lesbians and bisexual women in the media today.
The Schoolhouse
Equal parts "documentary" and skin flick, Chained Girls is a prime example of filmmakers using the guise of "scientific study" to skirt censorship and get topless women on the screen.
Here, a narrator intones various "facts" about lesbians, whether it be cataloguing the various types (femmes, dolls, dykes, stompin' butches, baby butches) or behaviors ("Many lesbians, as a rule, are heavy drinkers"). Then, the filmmakers actually provide displays of such behavior on-screen. It's sort of a "Yeah, women making out with each other is so weird and wrong … let's watch!" approach that is nothing short of hilarious.
There are ample mouth-droppingly ridiculous statements and sequences throughout the film, from "The dyke is a very selfish person who will fight … sometimes to the death!" to the "coming-out party," in which a bunch of "dykes" draw straws to see who will "initiate" the "deb." Helpful statistics pop up on-screen now and again as well.
Chained Girls makes some statements that are meant to be provocative and outrageous, but the reality is they're unintentionally quite progressive for 1965. Some of the utterly shocking "facts" the narrator relates include:
- Lesbians are largely indistinguishable from other women!
- Lesbians can be found in many professions!
- Lesbians mingle within the bounds of society!
Why, lesbians almost sound — dare I say it — like normal human beings.
The film ends on a bit of a downer, though, as one of the "bull dykes" has to transform back into a "woman" when the Sapphic weekend comes to a close and the work week begins. As she stares at herself plaintively, the narrator reminds us that, like everyone else, lesbians are just searching for that someone who will love them for the rest of their lives. What's a pipe-smoking, woman-loving woman to do?
We get an in-depth peek at the secret inner workings of lesbian society in Daughters of Lesbos (1968), as lesbians hold meetings featuring "good conversation and fine wine topped off with some wild sexual escapades."
Daughters of Lesbos leans far more toward titillation than Chained Girls does; here the narrator is a breathy, purring woman — not a guy who sounds like the school principal. She walks us through various ways in which women "become" lesbians, whether it be a reaction to a date rape, the result of being picked up by an aggressive lesbian while hitchhiking, or seduced while at summer camp.
Where the narration leaves off, the bongo drums and trumpets pick up as we see exactly what happens when these women get their lez on in all their full-frontal glory. This "strange" society isn't all about sex, however — these women will stop at nothing to prove their superiority to men in every way. As such, Daughters of Lesbos climaxes with a bizarre scene of vengeance against a male offender, all in the name of "justice."
What lessons can you expect to take away from these educational lesploitation films? Here are just a few:
- Lesbians, with their cultish leanings and weird secret rituals, are kinda like witches.
- Lip-licking was the gaydar of the 1960s.
- Women can slip in and out of lesbianism without even knowing it.
- Lesbians only become lesbians after some cataclysmic event.
- Lesbianism can be cured.
- Lesbianism cannot be cured.
That really clears things up, doesn't it?

Central Island Healthcare in Plainview recently recognized long-time volunteer Sister Mary Reparatrice for her dedication to providing for the spiritual needs of its patients and residents. Sister Reparatrice has been a Sister of Mercy for the past 70 years and has faithfully volunteered as a spiritual leader at Central Island Healthcare for over 32 years.
Kat Bottner opens a book and starts a children's story. Third graders from the Parkway School in Plainview gather round on the floor and listen intently. They listen, but they also watch-transfixed as Kat's fingers fly over the pages and the story comes alive. This is the first time these young students have ever seen a reader using Braille.

Her Name Was Jyoti
A woman lies naked on the side of the road.
She is bleeding profusely. The flash of headlights rushing by barely registers and she can hear the screams from her friend, who seems to be asking for help. He sounds like a broken record. She vaguely remembers them beating him, and trying to call the police on her mobile phone. That was before they had snatched the phone from her hands and moved on to her.
Another pair of headlights goes by, even faster this this time, her friend's shouts growing weaker. She knows his last pleas are ignored as she feels a layer of dirt and rocks kick off the tires of the passing vehicle and hit her tender skin in a light hailstorm of earth. She wanders in and out of consciousness, barely aware of time. The minutes seem like hours, the hours feel like days.
Les Mis Holiday Adventures – Part 1
I don't remember when I first learned that "Les Miserables" was coming to the big screen, but I am pretty sure I jumped up and down and screamed like I was a 12 year old girl with a new training bra at a Justin Bieber concert.
I know that there are people who find "Les Mis" to be cheesy. Let me be clear that I am NOT one of those people. If I was on a deserted island that had electricity and a CD player and a wall (because you need to have an outlet somewhere) and I only got to pick one CD, I would pick the original London "Les Mis" cast's recording in its entirety.
Not to push things, but I might also ask for some chap-stick, a razor and some soap.

The St Vincent de Paul Orphanage in Emerald Hill was established in 1855. In 1861, the Sisters of Mercy took charge of St Vincent de Paul Orphanage. (The Sisters also managed the St Vincent de Paul Girls' Orphanage, built on an adjoining site in 1863 - 1867).
Management of the boys' orphanage was transferred again, to the Christian Brothers in 1874. The Christian Brothers ran the Orphanage until it closed in 1997.
The origins of the St Vincent de Paul Orphanage were a house in Prahran, where from 1854 Father Gerald Ward established a temporary orphanage. In 1855, the Catholic Church granted two acres of land , not far from the [Protestant] Melbourne Orphan Asylum in Emerald Hill (South Melbourne) and the foundation stone for the St Vincent de Paul Orphanage was laid on 8 October 1855.
Fr Ward was a driving force behind the establishment of St Vincent de Paul Orphanage. Earlier in 1854, Ward had established Victoria's first branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society, a lay charitable organisation.
Soon after, Fr Ward had become aware of the case of five Collingwood children whose parents had drunk themselves to death. The court had appointed a Presbyterian minister as guardian to the parentless children. But when it became apparent that they had been baptised as Catholics, Father Ward lost no time in successfully applying for guardianship, although the two youngest children, both girls, were eventually allowed by the Supreme Court to remain with a neighbour who had cared for them since their parents' deaths. The three eldest children, all boys, however, were placed with a 'respectable' Catholic woman in Prahran, until they were moved, along with four other children, to the new St Vincent de Paul's Orphanage early in 1857.
In 1861, the Sisters of Mercy took charge of St Vincent de Paul Orphanage. (The Sisters also managed the St Vincent de Paul Girls' Orphanage, built on an adjoining site in 1863 - 1867.)
Children were separated in different dormitories according to age, and the segregation of children into boys' and girls' institutions led to siblings being separated. Barnard writes of the institution's discouragement of parents visiting their children. St Vincent de Paul's Orphanage Annual Report for 1870 advertised that parents were able to visit the orphanage on only four Sundays throughout the year.
Management of the boys' orphanage was transferred again, to the Christian Brothers in 1874. The Christian Brothers ran the Orphanage until it closed in 1997.
In 1924, the Orphanage established a hostel for older boys, also located in South Melbourne.
The Orphanage opened a holiday camp at Shoreham in the late 1930s. It was requisitioned for use by the Australian military during World War Two.
Jenkinson says, 'The St Vincent's de Paul Boys' Home file reflects the very limited role the Children's Welfare Department had in relation to non-government children's homes before 1955. The first Departmental inspection report on the Children's Welfare Department's file is dated October 1935. The Inspector indicated that he "had made a note of any special features connected with the boys. Where no notes appear, everything is satisfactory and there is nothing to report". Presumably, these notes were placed on individual ward files as they do not appear in the Central Administration file of the time. From 1935 to 1955 there are only two documents on the file, both letters from St Vincent's on minor matters. The next inspection report was not filed until 1956.'
St Vincent's capacity at this time was 150 beds. The Home admitted Catholic boys aged from 9 to 16 years old with accommodation for 150 children. In 1955 over half were Wards of the State. The Orphanage had a small number of larger dormitories with approximately 20 to 40 beds in each. Furniture consisted of an iron bed, a dresser for each boy and a chair for older boys.
In January 1956, St Vincent de Paul's Boys' Orphanage was declared an approved children's home under the Children's Welfare Act 1954.
While impressive from the outside, the Orphanage was in need of modernising and there was no, possibility of developing a cottage home facility on the site'.
Its name changed in 1967 to St Vincent de Paul Boys' Home, which came under the control of MacKillop Family Services in 1997.
In 1997, records of the Sisters of Mercy and the Christian Brothers were transferred to MacKillop Family Services. These included records of the various orphanages, homes and other residences run by these Orders. While custodianship of the records about people in 'care' became the responsibility of MacKillop Family Services at this point, it was formally agreed that the intellectual property in these records would not change hands.
MacKillop Family Services holds more than 115,000 individual records relating to children and mothers who were in institutions run by the Christian Brothers, Sisters of Mercy and the Sisters of St Joseph. The collection dates from 1857 onwards, and includes client admission registers, admission cards and paper files, photographs, annual reports, newspaper cuttings, policy documents and various items of memorabilia.

A Heartland woman, chased from her apartment by a fire, has even more trouble today.
Judy Flower did not, originally, ask for help from the Red Cross. Instead she moved in with family.
Since then she has moved into a hotel but is quickly running out of insurance money to pay for the room.
She's hopes her Hillsborough Apartment security deposit refund comes quickly.
Judy Flower says, "I had nothing to do with the fire and I should be getting that back and we're up to 16 days and they keep saying well it's coming in the mail, it's coming in the mail and it is not showing up."
The Red Cross has stepped in to help Judy with some of the hotel expenses and the Creighton Law Center has also helped with legal advice concerning the deposit and her March rent.
Judy expects to receive her checks early next week.

The world average death rate for H1N1 infections is 1.24 percent of patients with the virus, according to Li Lianda.
The H1N1 pandemic-related death toll reported in China's Guangxi Province is the "tip of the iceberg," says a staff member at the Department of Health.
The following analysis shows that the public could again be deceived by the regime as it did in the SARS outbreak.
If you live in China and have recovered from H1N1, the Chinese regime wants your blood.

Sugar Diary: Our Week In Pics
From testing a new spirulina-infused skincare range to lunch at Bondi Icebergs to meet Peter Morrissey and see his Spring/Summer 2012 eye wear range (happy 30 years, Peter!), it's been a pretty mixed bag at the Sugar office this week. PopSugar editor Jess is currently prepping for Katy Perry's pink carpet premiere for Katy Perry Part of Me on Saturday night (stay tuned for our coverage), and associate editor Alison has been everywhere from lipstick launches with Max Factor to a fragrance event with BellaSugar editor, Sarah, for Giorgio Armani at The Darling. There's plenty more to see, so let's go!

Free agent intrigue will evaporate as roster casualty season begins in a few short days for Ruben Amaro and the Phillies.
Tim Dierkes at MLBTradeRumors.com solicited beat writers around the league for a list of players who are out of options and have less than five years of service time. Once again, the Phillies are spared from the dilemma facing many teams this spring: whether to break camp with the best 25 players or outright promising players to the minors and risk losing them to waivers. Players who've exhausted their options would have to clear waivers before being sent to the minors. It does not apply to players signed to minor league deals. Clay Condrey was a good example of this process in 2007, when he made the club out of spring training, but was designated for assignment soon after and cleared waivers; the first of five demotions that Condrey dutifully accepted that season. That same spring, the Phils made a waiver claim of their own, acquiring hard-throwing right-hander Francisco Rosario, who was out of options and couldn't make the cut with Toronto. (Spring is also a great time to leverage trades, which is how the Phillies came to acquire outfielder David Dellucci in 2006, a veteran who lost his spot in Texas and was swapped for Robinson Tejeda and Jake Blalock.)
Incidentally, Tejeda, who has been out of options since 2008, fits the mold of the type of player the Phillies will be monitoring in March. Looking over the MLBTR list, a couple of local guys jump out as possible fits. Left-hander Dan Meyer, who grew up in Swedesboro, N.J., needs to make the Marlins roster or go through the waiver process. Meanwhile, right-hander and Delaware native Ian Snell, who had been involved in previous Phillies rumors, may be on the outside looking in with Seattle and could fit the Phillies' need for starting depth.
To me, this is the great untold storyline of spring training, and the Phillies are typically very active participants in this process. The Phils have saved two openings on their 40-man roster. Expect one of them to filled in this manner. Be sure to check out the MLBTR list here.

A Macroscopic View of Diffuse Reflection
Diffuse reflection, or scattering, is an extremely important phenomenon in room acoustics and has a strong impact both on perceived room acoustical quality and on the applicability of simplified prediction of room acoustic measures, such as reverberation time. The importance of diffuse reflection is manifested in the DISC project, which contributes to the consideration of measurement practices for reflection properties by the AES Standards Committee Working Group SC-4-2. Properties and effects of diffuse reflection, as compared to specular reflection, are discussed. Existing and suggested models for the treatment of diffuse reflection in computerized prediction of architectural acoustics are evaluated, in particular, in relation to their feasibility for auralization.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- The Washington Redskins have restored cornerback Cedric Griffin to the 53-man roster in time for the playoffs after his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Coach Mike Shanahan said Friday that Griffin will be available for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Griffin's suspension ended Monday, and the coaching staff gauged his fitness in practice during the week. He was a regular in nickel packages and had 33 tackles and a forced fumble before his suspension.
Cornerback D.J. Johnson, who sprained his left knee in last week's win over Dallas, was placed on injured reserve to make room for Griffin.
Left guard Kory Lichtensteiger was again unable to practice on his sprained left ankle. Third-round pick Josh LeRibeus will start if Lichtensteiger can't.

A little about me...
I am a very driven person who is dedicated to my children and my career. I work hard to give my children the opportunities I didn't have growing up and to show them the world. We spend every weekend at the lake in the summer - boating, fishing, sunbathing and swimming. Not much of a winter fan but will ice fish, snow mobile or sled if I have the opportunity. I enjoy going out or just staying in and snuggling by the fire. Always willing to try something one time.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'm looking for my bestfriend. Someone who knows what they want in life and they aren't afraid to go after it. Not looking for someone who plays games. Someone who knows who they are and what they want in life and they just want someone to join in on the adventure. Looking for someone to date and have fun with. If the sparks are right, an individual who isn't afraid to settle down in a relationship.
I'd just like to add...

EMC server flash rival slams VFCache
EMC's VFCache server cache doesn't quite hit the mark. Although it validates server flash use, caching is not enough. That's the view of Fusion-io chairman, CEO and co-founder David Flynn. Fusion-io leads the server PCIe flash market and its boss appears to think EMC's approach misses the target. Flynn said he welcomed the …
Fusion-IO model impractical in the enterprise
Unless it has a way to perform real time mirroring to another server's flash you risk losing access to your data when a server goes down. With the data on an array another server can quickly pick up the task being performed by the downed server.
The Fusion-IO model means when a server goes down, you need to send an knowledgeable tech into the datacenter to quickly triage the problem and determine if the best course is to get the downed server up and running again, or yank the flash card out of the dead server and put it into another one. So much for the movement towards the lights out datacenter! We left behind the worries about stranded storage when we adopted SANs, and the worries about downed hardware were left behind with clustering and now virtualization. Apparently they want to turn back the clock.

Session: 2012/2013
Date: Thursday, 20 September 2012
Reference: HSSPS 02/12/13
The Assembly's Health Committee has agreed that the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson will conduct a study visit to Cuba as part of the Committee's review on health inequalities.
The Committee's review will seek to identify effective interventions to address health inequalities in other regions which could be applied in Northern Ireland. This work will directly contribute to the development of the Department of Health's 10-Year Public Health Strategy which is currently out for consultation.
The study visit will involve attendance at a conference on public health which will bring together experts from across the world, including those whose work is focused on understanding the causes and possible solutions to health inequalities.
The Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson will also visit a range of health facilities in Cuba, such as multi-service clinics known as polyclinics which offer a range of services to local communities. There will also be an opportunity to talk at first hand to health professionals working in Cuba, as well as those involved in healthcare policy planning.
The Chairperson of the Committee, Sue Ramsey MLA said: "Tackling health inequalities is a key priority for the Committee. It is recognised that a focus on prevention and early intervention is essential if we are to get to grips with improving the health of people across our communities.
"Cuba is well known across the world for its success in terms of improving public health, particularly through an emphasis on primary care and close working between health professionals and their patients, so that early signs of ill-health are quickly identified and treated.
"Lessons can be learned from Cuba which can be applied to how we take forward our new Public Health Strategy. The visit will allow us to see health projects at first hand, talk to health professionals on the ground and also meet experts in this field who will be attending the conference."
Deputy Chairperson of the Committee, Jim Wells added: "We are facing wide-ranging changes to our health system following the review of healthcare and the publication of Transforming Your Care. One of the key recommendations coming out of that report is a shift towards more services being provided through primary care settings. Cuba's health system is very much focused on community based clinics staffed by multi-disciplinary teams – we will able to see at first-hand how this works and whether it could be applied in Northern Ireland.
"Cuba is also known for being able to deliver excellent health outcomes, despite spending considerably less than most European countries, including Northern Ireland. We need to ensure that the monies we have available to spend on health are used effectively and provide for the best outcomes for people. We need to learn from systems which have been proven to produce good outcomes that are equitable and cost effective."

FORT WAYNE – Visitors to Kathy Taylor's house are greeted with a gleeful tail wagging.
But then Janet, Taylor's 8-year-old golden retriever and Labrador retriever mix, disappears from the front door of their Warsaw home.
She runs to find her owner and nudges her with her nose, grabbing Taylor's attention and leading her to the front door.
Good girl, Taylor says, pausing to thank the dog for her work.
Janet is more than a furry greeter for guests – Taylor is deaf and Janet is her hearing dog.
She just makes my life so much easier. I'm not constantly trying to figure out what I am supposed to do or where I am going, Taylor said. She's always there for me.
At age 5, Taylor was diagnosed with measles.
I remember going to bed and waking up the next morning after a high fever and I could see my mom's lips moving, but I couldn't hear anything, she said.
Doctors told her the virus likely caused her hearing loss.
As a child Taylor attended a public school, but had a private speech teacher who helped her with speech and lip reading.
Still, there were many things she had to adjust to – like how to strategically position herself at the doctor's office so she could lip-read her name from the nurse.
If somebody says they are going to come to your house, I'd have to keep post at the front door or the window because I wouldn't be able to hear them knock, she said. And if someone says they will call, I couldn't go anywhere else in the house or I wouldn't hear the phone ring.
Taylor, who works for CenturyLink, which provides communications and data services, also faced challenges knowing when someone at work needed her attention or was inviting her to join the group.
One day while driving in Columbus, Ohio, on a business trip, Taylor was searching for a customer's address and pulled out into traffic directly in front of a fire truck that was responding to a call – lights flashing and sirens blaring.
I couldn't hear it, Taylor said. By the grace of God they missed me because I had no idea that truck was coming.
It was then that Taylor decided to apply for a service dog.
Got that down pat
After applying for a dog at several companies, Taylor submitted her application at Canine Companions for Independence – what she and others call the Cadillac of service dog providers.
To her surprise, she was selected almost immediately to participate in the two-week training and receive a service dog at no cost.
It was probably about a 4-month process for me, which is totally unheard of, Taylor said, explaining that some people are put on a waiting list for many months or even years. The stars must have lined up because they had someone cancel for the class in June and I took their spot.
Taylor went to California for Canine Companions training where she was paired with then-2-year-old Janet.
Canine Companions breeds and trains Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers to become service or assistance dogs.
We have our own breeding program and the puppies are born into Canine Companions and stay with us and we follow up with them along the way, said Ashley Koehler, development associate for the North Central Region of Canine Companions.
Everyone receives their hearing dog for free, she said. There are lots of organizations that charge thousands of dollars, but we provide them for free.
The organization estimates that over the lifespan of the dog, Canine Companions spends $50,000 a dog – a cost that is covered by donations, grants and fundraisers and is never passed on to the client, Koehler said.
Canine Companions has 1,021 active volunteer puppy raisers across the country and places about 250 assistance dogs each year, Koehler said.
The volunteers train four types of assistance dogs: service dogs, skilled companion dogs, facility dogs and hearing dogs, like Janet.
Throughout the training, all dogs learn commands to help their owners hear sounds they might encounter every day – like sirens and doorbells.
But they can also be trained to respond to noises specific to their owner, Koehler explained.
Before I had Janet, my business (cell) phone would ring and by the time I would think is that a phone ringing?' the call would already be in my voicemail, Taylor said.
But after just a few training sessions, Janet was alerting Taylor to her phone each time it rang or received a text message and was rewarded with dog treats that Taylor carries in her pocket at all times.
She only alerts me to the sounds that I want to know about, Taylor said. And she's so smart that generally after about two times of telling her when you hear that, let me know' and she's got that down pat.
My best buddy
One of Taylor's biggest concerns when she brought Janet home was how others would perceive her.
Taylor had nearly perfected her speech and lip-reading abilities over the years to the point where she could sit and have a conversation without anyone feeling uncomfortable.
I work for CenturyLink and here I am handling these major accounts for hospitals, schools, casinos, that sort of thing. So I wondered, how am I going to be perceived as a system designer going into the IT department not only as a woman, but a blonde, and now I have a dog? I wasn't sure it was a good idea, she said.
But as it turned out, Janet also played another important role.
She's an icebreaker, Taylor said, explaining how others feel more comfortable meeting her because they can first talk about her dog. Janet comes in and she's so professional and she does her tasks.
Taylor has also had opportunities to connect with other hearing-dog owners – such as Fort Wayne resident Bryan Zimmerman.
Zimmerman had spinal meningitis when he was 2 years old, resulting in hearing loss. He relies on lip-reading and sign language to communicate.
He said he can also relate to Taylor's experiences with his new pal, Geralene, a 3-year-old hearing dog from Canine Companions.
Geralene works with Zimmerman at his job as vocational rehabilitation area supervisor and a recreational therapist for Ferraro Behavior Services.
Throughout the day, she's at Zimmerman's side, waiting to alert him.
She will poke me if someone knocks on the door, calls my name. She shows me where the sound comes from, Zimmerman said.
He, too, knows how much easier it is to meet others with his icebreaker at his side.
People are more relaxed when Geralene is around. They come in and see her if they are having a bad day, Zimmerman said.
Everyone is supportive of her.
But at the end of the day, puppies will be puppies, he added.
Once Geralene is safely inside his Fort Wayne home and her work vest – a blue bandanna-like jacket she wears around her neck – is removed, she's a kooky, fun-loving dog, Zimmerman said.
She works hard, so this is play, he said, ripping the Velcro jacket from her neck and grinning as she ran in circles, sniffing and bouncing around. She's my best buddy.

If you're already registered, just fill out the Tax Form
We're here to help you make the CASH FOR SCHOOLS program a success. Use these tips to promote the program.
Spread the word. Download the PA Announcement .
Pass out this CFS Flyer at your school.
If you're interested in attending a prom fashion show, or if you have any questions, call us at 1-866-211-0831 or start a live chat . For more tips, visit the Parent/Teacher lounge or check out #MyPromBlog
1. Q: I already filled out a form with a local Men's Wearhouse representative; do I also need to complete an online form?
A: No, if your school completed a paper form prior to online processing being available, your school may already be enrolled. To verify your school's enrollment contact us at 866-211-0831.
2. Q: I've participated in the CFS program previously; will I be automatically enrolled this year?
A: No, your school needs to enroll each year with prom date(s) for the current calendar year. There is no automatic carry over from a previous year.
3. Q: I can't/don't agree to comply with all the points noted as to what schools are asked to do in order to participate (i.e. Host a fashion show, invite Men's Wearhouse to prom committee meetings, display certain collateral, etc.)
A: That's ok. These are suggestions, not requirements. If you have any other ideas that work better for your school, that's great. And we are open to suggestions for continual program improvement. We simply ask that you actively promote the program in order to get the biggest reward for your school.
4. Q: Why can't I allocate the check to be made out to a certain department?
A: Due to the size of this program, and to ensure monies are allocated to and received by the participating school, all checks will be made payable to the school, allowing the school to determine appropriate distribution.
5. Q: Can I get updates on how many rentals my school has earned?
A: A final count of eligible rentals will not be available until the prom event has occurred and it can be determined that rentals are paid in full and contained a minimum coat and pant that is necessary to qualify for the rebate.
6. Q: What if a student that attends my school goes to a different school's prom, do we get credit for his rental?
A: Since there is the possibility that both schools are enrolled in CFS we can only pay once per rental. Rentals are credited to the Prom that is attended not the school in which the student is enrolled. If one of your students attends a different school's prom, that school would get the credit for his rental.
7. Q: How does the store credit my school when a student comes to rent their tuxedo?
A: Store personnel will ask the student for the name of the school for the prom they are renting the tux for and that school will get credit for the rental.
8. Q: We have two separate proms at our school, how does that work?
A: Each event will need to be registered. The online form provides for two event dates. Each prom is treated as a separate event and your school will be paid based on each event individually. Payment will be received within 5 weeks of the prom event date provided there were at least 25 qualifying rentals.
9. Q: How will the rewards/money be delivered to the school?
A: A check, made payable to the school, will be issued and mailed via the USPS to the school's address and the principal's attention.
10. Q: When can I expect to receive the check?
A: Checks will be issued within 5 weeks of the prom event date.
11. Q: Our Prom is less than 4 weeks away, can I still sign up for CFS program?
A: No, unfortunately a school must sign-up at least 4 weeks before their prom event date in order for us to process the registration. Please contact us if you would like to discuss1-866-211-0831.
12. Q: I never received my check, how do I find out if it was sent?
A: Contact us at 1-866-211-0831 and we will track the check to find out when/where it was sent and whether or not it has been cashed.
13. Q: Do all rentals qualify to earn $5 rebate?
A: Rentals that include the minimum coat and pant, and have been paid in full, that were rented for your school's prom event (date and school must match) qualify for $5 rebate. Any tuxes not paid in full, refunded for any reason, earned free or were donated do not qualify and will not be included in final rental count for rebate.
14. Q: I can't find my school on the website form drop down options, how do I sign up for CFS?
A: Please contact us at 1-866-211-0831 and we will help locate your school or add it if needed to our data base over the phone.
15. Q: My school is already enrolled in the CFS program but our prom date has changed, do I need to notify Men's Wearhouse?
A: Yes, it is very important that we are informed of any date changes so that all qualifying tux rentals are accounted for. Contact us at 866-211-0831 to update you school's prom date.
16. Q: Our Senior Prom was already enrolled by the prom advisor; can I still enroll our Junior Prom?
A: Yes, you do not have to enroll both prom dates at the same time. They can be enrolled separately and by two different people.
17. Q: The registration form indicates that tax forms are required for participation, why is that?
A: The reason we ask for school type is so that we know the school's tax status enabling us to comply with Federal Tax requirements if your school earns more than $599.99 in rebates.
18. Q: Can I register the school even if I'm not the person to provide tax information?
A: Yes, you can register the school for CFS. You will receive a confirmation email that contains instructions for submitting appropriate tax information based on school type that can be forwarded to an appropriate person at the school for submission. Completed tax forms are required in order to receive rebates.
19. Q: What happens if my school is a public school however we do not have an IRS Determination letter, can I submit alternate documentation?
A: If your school's is a public entity you are required to provide a copy of your school's IRS Letter of Determination (LOD). In order to receive a donation from our CFS program. Please contact your school's Principal for assistance.
20. Q: What happens if my school is private and the tax information is not received?
A: If school type is private you are required to provide a completed W-9 form with your school's Federal Tax ID number. In order to receive a donation from our CFS program. Please contact your school's Principal for assistance.
21. Q: Can my school earn cash from other, non-Prom events such as Graduation or Homecoming?
A: No, at this time the Cash for School program applies only to tuxedo rentals for Prom events. Please contact us if you would like to discuss further and to tell us about the other events at your school 1-866-211-0831.

A collision between a car and truck injured three women and clogged traffic on Interstate 69 for two hours Tuesday, the Indiana State Police said.
A 2007 International box truck driven by Diana Hewson, 66, of Pendleton, was going south on I-69 in the middle lane about 3:30 p.m. When Hewson tried to move into the right lane, the truck hit a 2003 Cadillac driven by Casey Frantz, 25, of South Whitley, police said.
The collision caused the vehicles to spin out near the 314.5 mile marker, near Wallen Road.
Hewson, Frantz and Frantz's passenger, Tracey Reichart, 43, of Van Wert, Ohio, were taken to Parkview Regional Medical Center. Frantz and Reichart were treated and released, and Hewson remained at the hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
Near the crash scene, southbound I-69 was reduced to one lane until about 5:30 p.m.

Blackwall Tunnel approach's Olympic lanes – details revealed
Full details have been revealed about how next summer's Olympics will affect roads around Greenwich, Charlton and Blackheath – with a special lane for Games traffic being installed on the Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach.
As mentioned here last summer, one lane of the A102 will be given over for athletes, officials and the "Games family" – a euphemism for sponsors.
One lane of the northbound A102 will be given over to Games traffic from just north of Old Dover Road to the point where Tunnel Avenue joins the approach road between 6am and midnight. The Blackwall Tunnel itself will remain two-way, and similar provisions are being made on the A12 in east London.
Traffic signals will be altered at the Woolwich Road and the Blackwall Lane junctions as part of the scheme.
Around Greenwich Park, Park Vista and parts of Park Row and Maze Hill will become "no stopping" roads with part of Charlton Way closed to all traffic – forcing a diversion to the 53 bus route.
Between Blackheath and the Sun-in-the-Sands roundabout, Shooters Hill Road will lose a lane to Games traffic while a "no stopping" route will run from there and onto Charlton Park Lane for Olympic vehicles heading to the Royal Artillery Barracks.
Road humps along Charlton Park Lane will also be removed.
Transport for London has launched a consultation into the Olympic Route Network scheme, with drop-in sessions taking place later this month. Detailed maps of what is planned are available at the TfL website: www.tfl.gov.uk/orn.

On the paper version – dropping through people's letterboxes today – it says at the end
"This design may change if the needs of the London 2012 Games alter."
How likely is it that the public will be consulted on any changes – not very likely, I think.
This would be an outrage the lanes will be empty 90 per cent of the time while the normal lane queues at a standstill
Interesting that road safety gets a lower priority than the Olympics. Speed humps in Charlton Pk Lane for example will be removed. Why?
Hey Darryl, did you read Simon Hoggart's brilliant rant in Grauniad on Saturday? I quote:
"Last week I mentioned how the Olympics, funded by you and me – especially me if you don't live in London – seem to be mounted largely for the toads of international sport administration, plus bankers and corporate businesses. Naturally it's worse than that.
"Main roads in the capital are to be closed off and guarded by the police so these people can glide in their limousines, without the inconvenience of traffic, to events where they have guaranteed tickets, as the rest of us struggle to find a way to work and while burglars know this is a perfect time to climb into our houses, if we aren't at home trying to watch something we have paid for, but only on TV, exactly like anyone in Sydney, Shanghai or Seattle, where nobody had to fork out.
"And it turns out that many of the constructions in the Olympic site are to be torn down as soon as all two weeks of the games are over. So in other words, the whole thing is little more than a Brigadoon for rich people."

Crews finds chemistry to create engineering firm
St. Petersburg, Florida , July 12, 2002.
(as featured in The Business Journal Magazine)
A confident executive can successfully lead an engineering company without actually being an engineer, said Nancy Crews, owner and president of Custom Manufacturing & Engineering™ (CME™)
With more than 100 employees and a 30,000 square foot facility, CME is organized into production and engineering teams that provide commercial and government markets with systems integration services for end to end design in support of technology and systems development.
"I think the biggest challenge, given the industry that I am in, is for people to take you seriously and think that you are just not a figure head but you know what you are doing," said Crews. "A lot of people think engineers are the only people who can run this type of company. That is not true. A technical person can run this type of company, and I am a technical person."
Crews, who has a bachelors degree and a doctorate in chemistry, started CME in 1997 as a spin off from a Lockheed Martin Corp. division that closed in Largo.
In an attempt to preserve displaced defense workers in the community, Lockheed Martin Supplemented Crews' personal $100,000 investment with a million dollar startup grant.
CME, a woman owned small business, is certified with a disadvantaged small business designation and has grown from $2.9 million in revenue in 1999 to $7 million in 2001.
"We see continued growth as we go through the year and have added to our technical capability in terms of the type of people we hire and the type of projects we go after," said Crews. " We have become more focused in implementing our strategy."
Part of implementing a successful strategy is fine-tuning. In January CME held a two day meeting for the executive team to outline long term goals for three to five years and short term goals for the coming year.
This year Crews expects to hire 25-30 people. She'll concentrate in the areas of communication electronics, eventually shifting from a defense-oriented company to more of a monitoring and control operation. The company also targets power electronics and general instrumentation markets.
Executive growth plans requires cultivation of strong relationships with clients.
Crews said being a female business owner could be an advantage in new business development because " once you form a relationship with a customer, it is a stronger relationship and there is a trust element there. I don't know if that is a personality thing
or being a woman."
Highly skilled employees also play a pivotal role in company success, and Crews said company-hiring criteria is based heavily on applicant qualifications but through pure luck CME has been fortunate in attracting a diverse staff. The company encourages personal growth and continued education.
"We want our employees to be long term employees," she said.
Engineering staff credentials range from bachelor's degrees to doctorate degrees, with most employees having an average of 13 years experience in their specialty areas.
An adjunct faculty member of the St. Louis University College of Business and Management, Crews teaches courses such as marketing research, design, and methodology . She lives in Tampa with husband, Larry, and sons, Mike and Chris.

Making Girl Scouting Available to Every Girl, Everywhere
Many girls are not able to participate in traditional, volunteer-led programs due to various geographic, socioeconomic and emotional challenges. These girls are provided with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience delivered to meet their specific needs. A series offers activities to the same group of participating girls, scheduled over six to eight weeks, relating to a specific theme or purpose.
Community-based Programming
This form of Girl Scout programming is a community initiative designed to target underserved areas where Girl Scouts is not available due to socio-economic reasons. Community-based programming delivers the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to elementary and middle schools in the Austin and Pflugerville area during the school day and after school hours. Council staff, volunteers and community agency partners lead this innovative program. In cooperation with several Central Texas school districts, this program delivers alternative methods to teaching TEKS objectives, Relational Aggression, Financial Literacy, and Health and Nutrition.
The Objective of the Program
- To provide girls with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
- To teach the girls the importance of positive peer relationship, anti-bullying and positive ways to defend them self and others.
- Helping the girls learn and implement key concepts and skills related to personal money management.
- Learn the importance of good nutrition and exercise daily to lessen the effects of childhood obesity and teach them about the ill effects of tobacco and drugs.

Manufacturer Radiosophy wants to practically give away the HD Radio experience to you, with a new rebate offer on its HD100 receiver that slashes the price in half to $49.95.
It's about the best deal we've seen yet on this seemingly caught-in-between music technology, which is fighting for your attention among the Internet streams, digital music stores, satellites and the traditional free terrestrial radio. Yes, we've heard people complain about having to purchase new receivers to benefit from HD Radio, but we've also had converts sing its sonic praises.
Radiosophy's HD100 gives you the AM/FM standards, plus the AM/FM digital and multiple streams, as well as goodies like:
You have to send a text message to get the $50 rebate offer, by sending "UPGRADE" to 34343, and then you'll get weekly text messages, including a URL to download the mail-in rebate form. Sounds like a little hassle, but hey, 50 bucks is 50 bucks.
The deal runs until Sept. 29, 2008. Go to www.radiosophy.com/rebate-info for all the details.
