MLB App Puts Baseball Players' Careers in Their Own Hands
This season, Major League Baseball players will have a new tool at their disposal in the form of a mobile app. But it's for use off the field. The Major League Baseball Players Association, the union that represents all Major Leaguers, has created an app designed to help players connect with resources they need for managing their careers.

Nik SB may be new to both the Booth and the game, but he's already eyeing rap's upper echelons. After a listen to EP single Highyeena, I'd be hard-pressed to call his ambition misplaced. Right from the get-go, the Miami rhymesayer separates himself from the pack by delivering some of the most elaborately bugged out opening bars I've heard in a minute: "The born-again sinner with the shortest temper / I might be more hotheaded than Mike after he got his Pepsi deal / Or higher than Lisa Leslie standing next to Joe Pesci / in a pair of 1970 conceptual Giuseppe heels." Joining Nik over Nuri's production, a slow-burning affair that gradually intensifies over the course of each verse, Escargot spitter VURN contributes a world-weary closing 16. Interest piqued? More awaits on the artist's Reparations EP, available now for free streaming via Soundcloud.

Mixing Agile With Waterfall For Code Quality
Re:Some flavors of agile fight human nature ... (133 comments)
But some flavors say that developers are supposed to work on all parts of the project.
I think that is a misreading. Development teams should be assigned to end to end features. Development teams can be specialized in particular features and the components associated with those features. Development teams should be allowed to work on whatever component is required to implement their features, including some that may only be peripheral to their core components in order to complete a feature. Experts should be available to assist with modifying those peripheral components. That means teams have senior members who have some responsibility to teach other teams. If after some time, the most valuable work is not longer in the area of the application that the team is specialized in, the team should start getting work in the more valuable area of the application and start ramping up their capabilities in that area.
The calculation is whether lower effectiveness at higher value work is worth more than higher effectiveness at low value work. Clearly switching teams around constantly, so they are always on the steep part of the learning curve is stupid, and should not be done. But, seeing a lot of work in a high value area of the system or organization would make it worthwhile to move that team and have them start learning something new.

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/12 -- 2012 was a big year, especially for SkySQL, the trusted provider of open source database solutions. The company evolved from a MySQL database support company to a full-fledged open source solution provider, experiencing momentum with strong sales growth, additional funding, hundreds of valuable new enterprise customers, and launching the company's first open-source products for enterprise and cloud databases.
Momentum By the Numbers
- Earned over EUR 9 million in sales since founding
- Works closely with 350+ enterprise customers in 30 countries
- Averaging 400 downloads per day since launch of C+/C++ and Java connectors
- Raised EUR 4 million in funding
Now a Full-Fledged Open Source Database Solutions Provider
Only its second year in business, SkySQL has earned more than EUR 5 million in sales. This year, the company raised more than EUR 4 million in funding from Tekes, OnCorps, the Finnish Industry Investment Ltd., Spintop Ventures, and Open Ocean Capital to fund its product development efforts. The investment fueled the growth as well as development and launch of open source products to help MySQL users improve upon their enterprise database deployments and transition to the cloud.
In September, SkySQL debuted both the SkySQL Enterprise Data Suite and SkySQL Cloud Data Suite to provide world-class open source database solutions without the world-class vendor lock-in. This launch marked the company as a full-fledged products and services organization and was welcomed positively by the industry. Referring to the SkySQL Enterprise Data Suite and SkySQL Cloud Data Suite in its October 3 Impact Report, 451 Research stated, "The former brings together some of the best MySQL ecosystem technologies and makes them available from a single supplier for the first time, while the latter provides a taste of true innovation to bring MySQL up to date with cloud computing."
The company and its partner Monty Program also recently introduced connectors for developers of C+/C++ and Java applications to easily connect to the MySQL® and MariaDB® databases. Since the connecting drivers were made available on November 29, SkySQL is experiencing an average of 400 downloads per day from its website.
"This has been an incredibly successful year for SkySQL. Our releases set the direction in which we'll be heading in 2013," said Patrik Sallner, SkySQL CEO. "You can expect us to use our unique position to create incredible enterprise solutions and soon offer fully operational commercial cloud database capabilities."
Advancing the Open Source Ecosystem
SkySQL now services more than 350 customers across 30 countries, including 1&1 Internet, Financial Times, JetAir, Western Digital, XING and more new this year. The company and its over a dozen partners from the MySQL ecosystem work together to continue to grow adoption of MySQL® database technologies.
In the first half of 2012, SkySQL organized and hosted its first ever global event for the MySQL database community. At the "SkySQL and MariaDB®: Solutions Day for the MySQL® Database" conference, more than 250 attendees experienced a unique look at the state of the open source database landscape and heard directly from influencers on the direction of the industry.
As part of its commitment to the community, SkySQL will kick off 2013 as part of the "SkySQL and MariaDB Roadshow," bringing both organizations to 10 cities across the globe to share the latest learnings and information with users of the MySQL® and MariaDB® databases.

Remember, women love confidence
It's the most attractive quality for investors too, apparently. Good news for the UAE, then; our new found confidence will have them queuing (unless Bahrain and Qatar beat us to it).
January 3, 2011 5:02 by Samuel Potter
They say the single most important quality a man needs when trying to impress a woman is confidence. It's true, we read it in Man's Fithealth, or CQ Magazine or something. And although all Kipp can be confident of is certain failure when it comes to women, we have observed that our more confident friends tend to do better with pretty much everyone. People like confidence – both men and women. It attracts them, it affects them… it can even rub off on them.
So the latest Bayt.com/YouGov Siraj mash-up is good news for the UAE. The Middle Eastern jobs website (Bayt) and the research specialists (YouGov Siraj) have teamed up once again to compile the Consumer Confidence Index. They roll it out every quarter, and the latest figures just hit Kipp's desk. Why so excited? Well according to the numbers, the UAE gained 2.2 points on the last quarter. No, we don't really know what that means, but apparently 47 percent of UAE respondents have positive expectations regarding the country's economy. Yeah, we know what you're thinking, but in actual fact only 14 percent of people think the UAE economy will get worse. That puts the optimists in the largest camp.
"Our quarterly consumer confidence survey provides a strong indication, each quarter, as to how people living in countries across the region view their current economic situation, and how they believe it will change in the future. By conducting this survey, we are really aiming to achieve an honest and representative overview of current sentiments and feelings about various elements of the economy, so these can be used proactively and for positive effect by organisations and HR stakeholders around the Middle East," press releases Amer Zureikat, VP Sales, Bayt.com.
Yawn. Let's get to the point: More confidence is a good thing. It can't save an economy on its own, but it encourages people to spend and invest – and speculation is key to growth. Confidence within a country also encourages outside parties to invest, meaning inflows of cash. It's like the woman thing on a huge scale – global investors are drawn to confidence, and a lack of it is a definite turn-off. Confidence may not build an economy, but a lack of it can sure kill one.

Bangor Area School District to keep taxes within state cap
While Bangor Area School District officials do not yet have a firm idea on what the tax rate for the 2013-14 school year will be, one thing is certain: taxes will not increase by more than 2.2%.
The district Board of School Directors on Monday night adopted a resolution to notify the Pennsylvania Department of Education that the district will not seek to increase taxes by more than the 2.2% cap set by the state.
"We could come in lower than that amount, but we won't go any higher than that," Board President Pamela Colton said. "We do know for certain it will be somewhere between zero and 2.2."
If the board had decided to seek a tax increase higher than the cap, state law would have required the board to have the higher increase approved by voter referendum.
The district administration is currently developing the 2013-14 preliminary budget.
Business Manager Steve Wiencek said the district is in the process of answering three questions that will be major factors in determining the tax rate: pending teacher contract negotiations; pending support staff contract negotiations; and Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed state budget, including school aid, that is expected to be unveiled in early-February.
"Once we know the governor's budget, we'll have a better idea where we're at," Wiencek said.
Acting Superintendent Frank DeFelice said a preliminary budget will likely be presented to the board in late-February. The deadline for adopting the final budget is the end of June.
In other budget-related matters addressed during Monday night's meeting, the board approved its contribution to the Career Institute of Technology vocational-technical school, which serves Bangor and four other districts.
The proposed 2013-14 CIT budget of $8.1 million includes a $1.1 million contribution from the Bangor district.
CIT Administrative Director Ronald R. Roth said during a recent presentation that the projected costs to the five districts are actually less than the increases in the overall operating budget. This is due, he said, to expected increases in subsidies and other revenues.
The Bangor board also voted to approve a contribution of $418,000 to Northampton Community College for 2013-14.

Schiller Earns Big Ten Honors
Dec. 4, 2013
MINNEAPOLIS -- University of Minnesota redshirt junior, Scott Schiller, was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after a standout performance for the Gophers on Saturday evening against Oregon State.
Schiller, an All-American, helped lead the Gophers to a 28-12 victory over No. 9 Oregon State as he posted a 3-1 sudden overtime victory over then No. 1 Taylor Meeks. The bout was a rematch of an earlier matchup between the two top-ranked wrestlers at 197-pounds where Meeks was able to come away with the victory.
The win over Meeks marked the third-consecutive dual win for Schiller this season. Last season, Schiller's only dual loss was to Meeks, who was then ranked No. 10.
With the victory over Meeks, Schiller moves into the top spot in the 197-pound weight class. This is the second Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honor for Schiller.
The Gophers will travel to take on Oklahoma State on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. CT. Schiller will likely take on No. 9 Blake Rosholt.

Kittychosen's past comments
Thank you for the link - it's beautiful!
So put your rubbish in your bag or in your pockets then! And do not expect others to have to deal with the waste from the products you bought and are responsible for.
Why the belief that litter bins are the root of the problem? Bins or not, I always put all rubbish into my bag, take it home and sort it for recycling. It is human's greediness, selfishness and laziness that is the problem

Guns most certainly do belong in the right hands, which are those of the law.
But you don't know which crazy person made the law. Just because it is the law of the land doesn't mean it is a just law. Although I'm sure many a despot would agree with you.

Such a dilemma. Makes me wonder how many people would help someone die if they asked for it, while knowing the consequences of such action.
A good friend of mine suffered from depression for many years and finally committed suicide. The thing I am saddest about is that she knew what the consequences would be for all of us, so she had to die alone. If the world were less judgemental I could have been there to hold her hand in her darkest hour. I didn't want her to die, I miss her all the time, but I would have been there for her - not helped her - but just been there. Even in doing that I would have been in trouble. I feel very sorry for this man.

I drive along miles of unlit country roads every day, in the winter it is dark for the whole journey. It is sometimes extremely hard to see a person on the road due to angles of corners, shadows cast, angle of headlights, for example. I have narrowly missed someone in these circumstances because I couldn't see them until I was almost upon them (and I always drive carefully as you never know when a deer will jump out into the road). From my experience, people who don't drive are unable to know just how invisible they can be to a driver. In my opinion this was a tragic accident, but an accident none the less.

If you read the whole sentence about the tiger you will get my meaning. It is the concept of 'rights' that is ridiculous. If you have a right to molest me (as a tiger has a right to eat me) then you have a responsibility to not do that. People do not always carry out their responsibilities, so others have to make allowances for that.
Well, focusing on the fact she was a woman -she is a woman and generally us women do not have the strength of a man. It could also apply to a man of weaker strength than another. And generally it is men that do the attacking!
I don't recall saying it was a sex-crime, I did not mention sexual assault. I only said 'molest'.
I am only using my experience of several decades on this planet and I do know that a woman in skimpy clothing is far more likely to be molested than a covered woman. I believe it's called temptation!

@Crush Them
Thank you for your so very sane and logical comments.
You wouldn't believe how many women HAVE shouted me down! (Where does the idea of 'sisters' come from I wonder?!) It has been suggested to me that I walk alone at night to enforce my RIGHTS (how they work that out is beyond me). However I think if I had taken that advise I would not be here now to type this!
If it is my right not to be eaten by a tiger, will it prevent the tiger from eating me (as his his right)? If I have a right to be unmolested then it will not prevent a man from molesting me (as is his right). Rights come with responsibilities, and my responsibility is to keep myself safe.
I do hope that the victim in the story was not in high heels, short skirt, staring into keitai as she trotted unsteadily down a dark street. But sadly, this is Japan and I fear she probably was.
Posted in: Woman slashed on street while walking home in Gunma
I, as a woman, would never in my right mind walk home alone at 3.30am in a town or city! In the countryside, where I am now, I would sooner dive into the hedge rather than let a strange car spot me at night. Why should I assume that because I live in a so-called 'civllised' society, that all civilians will be able to put instinct aside and leave me unmolested? I prefer to assume that human nature is what it is, has not changed throughout history, so therefore I should take precautions.
In the past I have used all of the following: A basic knowledge of some self-defence moves, a male friend as chaperone, a large dog (friendly, but loyal & has teeth), flat shoes (for running), large umbrella (hit/poke/prod/brandish) & a very loud scream (if they get within comfort zone). Oh and a 'don't even think about it' glare if anyone looks like they are thinking of approaching me.
It's called survival, and I have survived.

'20th hijacker' claims torture in Guantanamo
A Saudi suspected of being the "20th hijacker" in the September 11 attacks has recanted his confession, saying he made false statements after he was beaten, abused and humiliated at Guantanamo, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
San Juan, Puerto Rico: A Saudi suspected of being the "20th hijacker" in the September 11 attacks has recanted his confession, saying he made false statements after he was beaten, abused and humiliated at Guantanamo, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Mohammad Al Qah'tani - who US officials have said previously was subjected to harsh treatment authorised by former Defence Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld - denied knowledge of the September 11 attacks in his first appearance before a military panel at Guantanamo Bay in October.
"I am a businessman, a peaceful man," Al Qah'tani testified under oath, nearly five years after he was taken to the detention centre in Cuba. "I have no connection to terrorism, violence or fighters."
The AP on Friday obtained a transcript of the hearing from the government under the Freedom of Information Act. This is the first extensive statement by Al Qah'tani ever released.
An unidentified military officer at the hearing said the detainee admitted travelling in Afghanistan in 2001, where he received terrorist training, met with Osama Bin Laden and agreed to participate in a martyr mission for Al Qaida.
Al Qah'tani said the statements were not true and he only admitted to them while was being "tortured" at Guantanamo.
The alleged torture, which he details in a separate statement, included being beaten, restrained for long periods in uncomfortable positions, threatened with dogs, exposed to loud music and freezing temperatures and stripped nude in front of female personnel, he said. "Once this torture stopped, I explained over and over that none of what I said was true," he told the Administrative Review Board panel, convened to determine whether he could be released.
"I have no intent to kill innocent people or anything like that," he said.
Al Qah'tani is one of the most notorious prisoners at Guantanamo, where the US now holds about 340 men on suspicion of terrorism or links to Al Qaida or the Taliban.
The US has alleged that Al Qah'tani, who military records show is about 28, barely missed becoming the 20th hijacker on September 11, 2001.
Al Qah'tani threatened with dogs
Military investigators in 2005 concluded that Mohammad Al Qah'tani had been subjected to harsh treatment approved by Donald Rumsfeld because he would not crack under interrogation.
The investigation led by Air Force Lt Gen Randall M. Schmidt confirmed, among other things, that Al Qah'tani was forced to wear women's underwear, was threatened with dogs, and kept in solitary confinement for 160 days. At one point, he was interrogated for 18-20 hours per day on 48 of 54 days.
Schmidt concluded, however, that while the treatment was abusive it was within policy and not torture because he was not denied food, water or medical care, and interrogators did not inflict physical pain on him.

Will OpenSolaris 2010 Make It Out This Month?
Published on 01 June 2010 01:10 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
21 Comments
Not only is
the future for X12 unknown
, but there is also an uncertain outlook for
. The successor to
OpenSolaris 2009.06
(released last June) was supposed to be
OpenSolaris 2010.02
and released in February of this year as implied by its date. However, four months later, there still are no signs of this OpenSolaris update. Sun Microsystems originally planned for the OpenSolaris operating system to be updated every six months, but now we are a year into OpenSolaris 2009.06 and this is clearly no longer the interest of Oracle, Sun's new owner.
In February we reported that
OpenSolaris changes were being planned
by Oracle in terms of its support and that their OpenSolaris 2009.06 release was no longer even being supported by the company with the operating system reaching an end-of-life status. Even towards the end of March the OpenSolaris 2010.02 release was
still missing in action
with no official communication in terms of a new release schedule coming out of Oracle. Well, we're now into June and there is still no sign of the release or official communication by its project leads at Oracle.
Not only is the official OpenSolaris 2010.xx release missing, but so is any update OpenSolaris preview snapshots. OpenSolaris preview ISOs used to be released near bi-weekly when Sun Microsystems was independent, but now these preview releases have fallen apart too. The last OpenSolaris preview release made available at
was on the 8th of March and is Build 134. OpenSolaris 2010.02 was supposed to be based upon Build 133b. The OpenSolaris mailing lists have also been quiet about any pending OpenSolaris 2010.02 (or OpenSolaris 2010.06 at this point) release.
Bugs were reportedly the reason OpenSolaris 2010.02 didn't make it out in February, but now we are into June. The
OpenSolaris 2010.1H blocker bug
only has one open bug and that is the
IPS blocker bug
(the Image Packaging System), but all of its bugs are closed.
We're not the only ones wondering about the OpenSolaris 2010 release, but so are
others within our forums
, where you can join in on the discussion.

Q2 Chilly At Family Dollar
Wednesday April 10th, 2013 - 12:41PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the 14-week period ended March 2, Family Dollar posted net earnings of $140.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, versus $136.4, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the year-earlier period. Comparable store sales increased 2.9% in the second quarter versus the period last year.
Earnings came in below Wall Street analyst expectations.
Net sales increased 17.7% to $2.89 billion from the quarter ended February 25, 2012.
As established, the 2013 fiscal second quarter included 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the fiscal 2012 period. Family Dollar said the extra week contributed approximately $189 million in sales and 7 cents of earnings per diluted share. Sales were strongest in the consumables category, the retailer said, which advanced by 26.6% during the quarter, driven primarily by strong growth in tobacco, food and health and beauty aids.
In a conference call executives who discussed results said a late income tax season and cool spring weather had impacted sales, which rose less than the company's expectation. Executives said uncertain economic, fiscal and weather conditions had made Family Dollar customers careful about spending. Although consumables were strong in the quarter, discretionary spending did gain as tax refunds began to flow later in the period, the company noted.
During the quarter, Family Dollar opened 126 new stores, closed 17 and renovated, relocated or expanded 159.

Revolution in Sound Recording?
August 29, 2014
Article's tools:
A group of Polish researchers and engineers in the western city of Poznań are working to build a new wireless sound recording system that will give the listener the impression of being able to move around a concert or conference venue and home in on what they most want to hear.
The project, called AudioSense for short, has been co-financed by the National Center for Research and Development (NCBiR), a Warsaw-based government agency tasked with subsidizing scientific research in Poland, to the tune of zl.1 million under its Lider program.
The full name of the project is "The development of a prototype system for the reconstruction of a virtual sound stage using wireless sensor networks."
Picture this: You are listening to the broadcast of a music concert in your home. You want to hear your favorite instrumentalist better. So you virtually move closer to him. Then you move to where there the singer's voice is coming from.
Giving a listener the opportunity to navigate at will around the sonic landscape will offer new possibilities in terms of watching films and documentaries, but also in organizing teleconferences.
Further research and going commercial with the results of the project are expected to take three years.
Today, sound engineers use a variety of microphones to separate the voices of various people. This, however, involves working in a tangle of cables. This is why the Poznań team has decided to build a wireless system. It will be able to process the sound in such a way that a listener at home, in a movie theater or at work will have the impression that they are actually where the recording is being carried out. What's more, the system will enable free movement around this sonic space, or "sound stage," and the listener will even be able to move the stage.
Until recently the home theater was a similar technological breakthrough. However, in a home theater the quality of the sound depends on where you sit. The future belongs to what is known as the sound space.
A teleconference using the new technology will make it possible to correctly identify who's speaking and conduct conversations in a similar way to face-to-face discussions.
The manager of the project, Tomasz Żernicki, D.Sc., CEO of the Zylia company based in Poznań, says, "We'll hear the voice of an actor, a solo piece played by a musician or words uttered by a conference participant where the person was actually positioned in the recording venue, and not where we place our speaker."
In conventional sound recording systems, you need to spread around a number of microphones.
But you cannot accurately separate individual signals, lines uttered or sounds made. Each microphone records a mix of sounds. Engineers from the Zylia company also want to spread around the microphones, but end up with an output of individual sound sources.
"This gives us the ability to manipulate sound sources," says Żernicki. It is possible to isolate a specific person speaking and then place their voice anywhere in space. This will make the work of sound engineers much easier.
The new system will also make life easier for teleconference participants and video game players. It will also help television and radio stations as well as film producers.
"We're trying to comply with the current mpeg 3D audio surround sound compression standard," says Żernicki. "This will allow the recordings to be played on all kinds of devices that will soon appear on the market. We will provide customers with a computer system that will make it possible to innovatively play back sound, while being compatible with the most commonly used solutions."
A pilot system is being tested by teleconferencing companies. It has also attracted the interest of sound engineers working at music concerts. The prototype is also suitable for use in productions where material is broadcast live.
Talks are in progress with manufacturers of teleconferencing systems. Money from the NCBiR has been used to purchase research equipment and for salaries, which enabled the creation of the prototype. These funds, however, are insufficient to go commercial with the research results, according to the researchers, and the project requires an investor from industry. If such an investor materializes, sales of the product could begin at the end of 2016.

Hi: 14° Lo:8°
By Laura Maltby Thursday 18 October 2012 Updated: 18/10 08:17
A SINGER-songwriter is hoping to follow in the steps of Adele and Emili Sande as she competes in a national search to find undiscovered music talent.
Nina Baker was recently shortlisted for MTV's Brand New for 2013 Unsigned Music competition.
The 25-year-old singer will compete against hundreds of other unsigned acts from around the country for the opportunity to perform live on MTV in London and potentially secure a record contract.
All the acts have uploaded a profile on the MTV website and people have until November 12 to vote for their favourite.
Once voting closes, the 20 artists with the most votes will be put in front of a panel of MTV editorial music experts who will choose an overall winner on November 28.
Past winners include the likes of Jessie J and Tinie Tempah and Nina is hoping to eminate their success in the future.
The clasically-trained performer, who lives in Kineton, was put forward for the competition by her manager and is now urging people to get behind her in a bid to secure the title.
The pianist, originally from Norfolk, moved to Warwickshire six months ago to be closer to her producer while she works on her forthcoming debut album, Quite Frankly.
The 13-track disc features a mix of pop, rock, acoustic, folk, soul and country and is set to be released early next year.
And Nina, who writes her own material, will also be playing at Kasbah in Coventry on October 29, The White Horse in Leamington on October 30 and Head Records in Leamington on Nov 3.
She said: "I've been lucky to work with some brilliant producers on the album who are very diverse and as a result the album itself features quite a few different styles."
Speaking about the competition, she said: "It's a massive honour to be included in the nominations - I'm really excited.
"It's come at a brilliant time for me and it could be a huge platform for me as it would be a great opportunity to get recognition or even get signed."
Visit http://brandnewunsigned.mtv.co.uk/act/ninabaker to vote for Nina.

Adoptable Pet List
Sasha is a precious 2 year old chocolate pitbull/lab mix who LOVES people, kids and other dogs! This sweet girl was thrown out of a car at the park. She's currently living in a hotel room with the girl who found her but Sasha needs out as soon as possible and can't stay at the hotel any longer. She desperately needs a foster home! She's so sweet and trusting after what she went through. She loves to cuddle and give kisses, loves to go for walks and more than anything she loves attention from people. Sasha has been spayed and given her shots and is a healthy girl, ready for a home. She weighs around 50 lbs and is full grown, house trained and crate trained. Contact email@example.com if you can give Sasha a foster or permanent home.
Who We Are
Canine Crusaders of Atlanta is a non-profit, no-kill rescue organization, dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned, abused and neglected dogs across the Atlanta area. Our focus is to find responsible and loving homes for every dog that enters our program. We have a lifelong obligation to each dog that comes to us and we do our best to make the best possible placement, matching each dog with the right home.
Adopting a pet
We adopt in the metro Atlanta, Ga area only and do not adopt out of state. We conduct home visits prior to each adoption, which we find is a crucial part of the adoption process. Once an application has been submitted and is approved for a dog, a home visit is done. All dogs go out for a 2 week trial period. If the trial period is successful and all parties agree this is the right home for the dog, the adoption will occur. Adoption fees are $225 which includes spay or neuter, all vaccines, heartworm test, de-worming and a microchip. For homes with children, you must have a fenced yard.
Donations are always needed to help offset our expenses, which include vet bills and as well as boarding bills. Some dogs live at boarding kennels or vet offices until a foster home is found. Additional expenses include supplies such as crates, collars, dog food, as well as flea and heartworm prevention.
Foster Homes
Foster homes is one of our biggest needs in rescue. Without a home to stay in, these dogs either get turned away or have to live in a boarding facility. Foster homes provide a safe a loving home as well as food and we provide all vet care, as well as monthly flea and heartworm prevention.
We are always in need of dedicated volunteers who can help out with our adoption events on the weekends. Contact us for more info.
Surrendering a Pet
We are currently full and cannot take in any new pets, BUT we can help you find a home for your pet by posting them on our website, allowing them to come to our pet adoptions and helping screen applications as well as do home visit prior to adoption. If you want to give up a pet due to behavior problems, please reconsider giving up your pet. Behavior issues can usually be resolved with training, time and patience.

Portsmouth, Unit...
This is my very first dress!
This is made from Simplicity 2884 and wasn't as easy for a beginner as I'd have liked! I'd have had no chance understanding the instructions if it weren't for the fact that i'm taking dressmaking classes and my teacher was able to help me! My attention to detail will always out and of course I had to add little strawberry buttons to the halter neck strap.No one will be able to see them of course, but oh well!
I've loved and hated making this dress in equal measures but now it's done I love it again! I wanted something a bit different and a bit 'vintagey' in style. I think that's what I ended up with! I am going to make a removable dress net for underneath now to give it a bit of flair!
it's not an everyday kind of a dress but it was a great learning curve because I had to learn so many basic things such as invisible zippers,lining and boning!
Blogged about here-
Cotton in a strawberry print from Fabric land in the UK – £3.49 per meter (about 3 1/2 meters used I think!) plus some inexpensive polyester lightweight lining in black for the bodice. Boning used in the bodice and side invisible zipper.

The Auto Show goes on in Detroit -- with signs of changing times
Companies and workers that build cars are in the news a lot these days. Find a report about December sales, federal help for auto makers and proposals aimed at making it easier to buy or lease vehicles.
The U.S. auto makers' fate affects people and places nationwide. Look for coverage that localizes the economic pressures on GM, Chrysler and Ford.
The Detroit show is a reminder that stylish, snazzy new vehicles are in the works. Clip or print a photo of one that you'd be proud to drive . . . and tell why.
Detroit's best-known annual event, the North American International Auto Show, offers media previews this week as a stage-setters for the public run from Jan. 17-25. For a struggling industry that faces severe changes, this is a high-profile chance to show car buyers, national lawmakers an up to 6,000 journalists why American automakers deserve support.
"Welcome to the first Detroit auto show in the bailout era," Automotive News says under the headline "Glitz on a shoestring." Tough times clearly reshape the event. Nissan and six other foreign carmakers - Ferrari, Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Rolls-Royce and Suzuki - are staying away to save money. Other manufacturers have scaled back displays and promotional activities - such as news media parties traditionally hosted by GM, Chrysler and Toyota.
Futuristic concept cars and snazzy street vehicles usually get the most attention. For 2009, the focus is on thrifty alternative fuel models - including as a Fusion Hybrid that Ford describes as the most fuel efficient mid-size car, a redesigned 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid and a 2009 Honda Insight hybrid sedan.
Dealer says: "All automakers are fighting for survival and because of that, it makes sense to get back to the basics." - Joe Serra, co-chairman of the show and an auto dealer in Grand Blanc, Mich.
Manufacturer says: "Less glitz and no giveaways. These are unfortunate but necessary steps to help return Chrysler to a solid footing. Our press event this year will be more straightforward, reflecting our need to run more efficiently during a tough environment." - Rick Deneau, Chrysler executive, announcing elimination of free lunches and open-bar party
Newcomers from China: Two Chinese auto manufacturers, BYD and Brilliance, are making their first appearance on the main show floor.

Here's what I found out: Yes they behave the exact same way as they do on the show, and in terms of their cell phones, Audrina has recently upgraded from a Pearl to a silver BlackBerry 8830—the same as Lauren's! A bit of drama between Heidi and Spencer, but other than that not too many tech scenes this week. Take this short yet sweet tech quiz to see if you were paying attention. Good luck!
