I miss her i want to back so badly
01-15-2009 12:42 AM -- By: Christy always Gretas mom, Critters.com memorial: Greta Abigail Memorial Stacy, that was a wonderful message that you posted below! Although it is extremely concerning and depressing to read of the stories of horrendous abuse of these beautiful angels, it also renews in me the strength and perseverance to continue working towards changing what I can even if it is just for one animal. Change can not only be through adoption or volunteer work but also in educating communities or just feeding strays, fortunately through Karleys website there is a petition that can be signed to help change the laws and try and help convict " humans" who do these terrible cowardful acts. I know that Many parents from this site came together and signed this to try and convict this monster, hopefully for Karleys sake and the sake of others things will chage in the future..Much Love, Christy
01-14-2009 5:26 PM -- By: Jennifer, Critters.com memorial: Spawn Memorial I just wanted to stop by and say Hello to everyone & thank Gavin for stopping by Spawn's page, I was suprised someone came by to leave a message.ĀOur cat Spawn passed away two days ago in my arms from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy & cancer after a months worth of fighting. I will miss him so much and the pain I am feeling is still so fresh. He was by far my bestfriend.
01-14-2009 2:48 PM -- By: Stacy Allen, Critters.com memorial: Minnie Memorial I am so very sad today.ĀI usually try to visit all of the new arrivals to critters.com.Ā Lately, the very first thing that I read is how long the precious furbaby lived before going to Heaven.Ā Although all of the stories are sad, the ones of abuse, torture, etc. are so much more heartwrenching!Ā How can any human do such unspeakable things to helpless, defenseless, lovable creatures?Ā As I am typing this now, the tears are just streaming down my face as I imagine what it was like for doggies such as Dusty, Lonely Angel, and Karley.Ā I have wanted to write in Karley's Guestbook for some time now, but I can't read past the first few sentences of this beautiful girl's tragic story.ĀI am so very sorry, Karley, for not giving you my condolences!ĀYour story (what I read of it) just breaks my heart!ĀI work in the legal community and know how bad the system fails the victims, more often than not.Ā I truly wish the laws were stronger to protect the innocent babies like you!ĀI can't make sense of the things some people do.ĀWhat possesses them to do such horrible things?ĀI wish I could take in every stray animal that I come across, to ensure they live a healthy, happy, and safe life.ĀI often joke with my boyfriend that I am going to grow old being one of those ladies who live with 100 animals in my house, and no humans in sight!ĀFor anyone who still has furbabies with them, please hug and kiss them for me!ĀI love and care about each and every one of them!ĀI also want to apologize to everyone whose memorial I have visited and not left a note.ĀI am thinking of you at your time of grief, even if you don't know that I was there.ĀI truly wish that all humans were as kind as the ones I have met here at critters!ĀTake care! Stacy, Minnie, Willow, and Sunshine (as well as all of my furbabies that are still with me)!
01-14-2009 1:06 PM -- By: Paula, Critters.com memorial: KARLEY Memorial I have placed an update on Karley's page about the day in Court on 1.13.2009.Ā If you are interested in seeing what took place, please pay her page a visit.
We are still working on getting her song up & running.Ā When it is, I hope you all enjoy it. Sincerely, Paula
01-13-2009 4:24 PM -- By: Michele, Critters.com memorial: Emmy Memorial Well...we picked up Emmy's ashes last night. I thought I would be balling but I wasn't. I was just happy to have her back in my arms. When Emmy was little she would sit in the crook of my arm next to the drivers door so that is how I drove home with her ashes last night. We are designating a special place in our family room for her but it's not quite ready yet. So last night we kept her in our bedroom on my nightstand next to the bed. I still can't believe she is gone and I would give anything to have her back but I feel calm inside. Everyone's comments on her memorial have been really helpful. I especially appreciate the people who said their pet would look after Emmy. I do have a funny story about a sign from Emmy. On Saturday, my family was heading out on a road trip. Before we got on the road, we stopped at McDonalds. I noticed on the board that the Happy Meal toy was one of many little stuffed dogs from the new movie Hotel for Dogs. My husband joked that we were going to get a white poodle with pink bows. Keep in mind my husband hasn't even seen previews for this movie. Neither of us had any idea what kinds of dogs were in the movie. We paid and got our food. I was curious as to which dog my son got and was I surprised. In the plastic bag was a white poodle with a pink collar! The actual picture of the poodle on the tag looks so much like her! My husband and I just looked at each other and knew it was a way for her to tell us she is okay and waiting for us. Again thanks to everyone who have given support and advise. I'm glad to know there are still nice, caring people in this crazy world of ours.
God Bless everyone and our pets waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge.
01-12-2009 11:08 AM -- By: Michele, Critters.com memorial: Emmy Memorial It has been a week since we lost Emmy. Tonight we are going to pick up her ashes. I never dreamed I'd be saying that now as opposed to later. I feel very alone today. My husband has been off work for 8 months and started his new job today. So there are several things changing at one time....Emmy is gone and I only see my hubby for a little while in the morning and a few hours in the evening. We do have 3 kids...a 7 year old son and 8 month old twin daughters. Sorry I'm just running at the mouth but it is so much to get used to all at once. Thanks for "listening" to whoever is out there.
01-11-2009 8:42 PM -- By: Jeanne, Critters.com memorial: Holly Memorial Hi Everyone, Not a day has gone by without my thoughts on my holly. It's been 18 months now. I still get teary eyed missing her. I did get another baby. Her name is Nora, she is a 2 year old Black Lab. Such a sweetie too. I put a couple of pictures on Holly's page. Check her out if you'd like! My love and prayers to you all. Love, Jeanne
01-11-2009 5:11 PM -- By: Ebony & Shabba Lou, Critters.com memorial: UNA Memorial I know several of us received this email from Dan. I believe that anyone who can stop by and visit beautiful Una (and her mom Diana who also had to leave us too soon) will give Dan so much support. For those of you aren't aware, Dan lost both his precious pup Una and his beautiful wife Diana just a few "short" months apart.
BelowĀis the email received from Dan:
Date: Sunday, January 11, 2009, 12:18 PM
My dear friends, Thank you all for your kind words of compassion ģ Things are not good at all for me now, I 'm like under anesthesia, I can't figure that Diana is really gone, I just wait to see her one day, at the door. I try to go one, what else can I do ģ. I made a page in UNA Memorial, a surprise for all of you, my way to say "thank you". Please visit UnaÆs Memorial, that page is made for all of you, from the bottom of my heart. Gratefully, Dan
01-11-2009 1:41 PM -- By: Suzie, Critters.com memorial: KETO BOY Memorial I wrote on the forum "cancer: dogs" and no one has responded. My question is has anyone else had the diagnosis of multiple myeloma? Im still not sure what happened and if I made the right decision in my babys care. Can anyone relate tho this diagnosis?
01-11-2009 11:18 AM -- By: Michael, Critters.com memorial: Miss Mindy Memorial I need help this morning.ĀYesterday was Miss Mindy's one year anniversary crossing the Rainbow Bridge.ĀI struggled with it all day.ĀI just went out to play with her brother Porter, and found him dead in his little house.ĀI just dont understand.ĀAm I doing something wrong?ĀI live for my dogs.ĀSomeone please explain why this is happening to me....
01-10-2009 6:14 PM -- By: Kelly, Critters.com memorial: SOCKS Memorial I am so sorry I have not signed so many pages, I have visited alot of new pages and most of all the people and fur babies I have met along the way.I just have a hard time reading all these stories it breaks my heartĀ for all of us to be going through this pain I cry the whole time I am on here. I can not listen to the music on the pages I sob so hard.There were so many people who stop and signed my SOCKS page for the holidays and I am truly sorry I have not had the chance to say Happy Holidays to all here.
I hope everyone had a nice Holiday. Although I might not signĀ believe me I am always thinking ofĀall the wonderful peopleĀI met along the way. GOD BLESS EVERYONE
01-10-2009 1:41 PM -- By: Maria, Critters.com memorial: Gracie Memorial The past few days I have been having a hard time. I miss my Gracie girl very much. On Monday my dad is giving me Gracies collar it will be really cool having it. I want her back so badly but I know that i will never have her back. She was a good dog. She chased away the dog that was attacking meĀone time.
01-10-2009 8:33 AM -- By: , Critters.com memorial: Miss Mindy Memorial It was one year ago today that my precious Miss Mindy decided she would be a brave little girl and cross the Rainbow Bridge by herself.Ā I cried as she left, but knew she knew best.Ā This year has gone by so fast and there is still so much that reminds me of her around the house.Ā I thought the hurt would go away.Ā She is in my heart and will always be.Ā Please stop by and let my baby girl know her Pawpaw is ok, and it will get better.
01-09-2009 10:10 PM -- By: Cheri (Coco's Mommy), Critters.com memorial: Coco Memorial I just want to tell my friends at Critters that you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I haven't been visiting lately. I'm just not in the right state of mind to visit all the babies right now. I'm trying to fight off some sadness and it becomes so difficult when I see the faces of all the babies and know what their families are going through. It was difficult during the holidays for many of us. I've tried to stay in touch with some of you by e-mail, but I haven't been visiting the Critters site much. I hope you will understand and please know that I haven't forgotten you or any of your little ones. And for those who are recently bereaved, please know that I am with you in spirit. I understand. You are not alone. We are in this together, and even though I may not be visiting the site much lately, you are always in my heart. It's a long, slow process. I'm sure many of you will understand. I've simply hit a bump in the road, and once I'm over it I will be back. My love and prayers to each of you.
01-09-2009 3:09 PM -- By: Tammy, Critters.com memorial: Peanut Memorial I would love to invite everyone to visit my baby Peanut's page. She was the light of my life and I miss her so much. I can't believe that I have been without her for a year now. It seems like just yesterday that she left meĀfor Rainbow Bridge. ĀBeing Peanut's mom was the best job ever and God I wish she were still here. I love her so much and I miss her more than words can say. So come on by and see my beautiful baby. Thanks, Tammy
01-08-2009 7:29 PM -- By: Suzie, Critters.com memorial: KETO BOY Memorial It will be 1 month tomorrow. I cannot believe its been a month already since I had to say goodbye to my baby boy. I try to dwell on the good memories, but my heart is so broken that even a small moment of time unbusy brings me to tears. I feel as though I will never heal. I know all the right things to say and do and feel but I cannot get past this pain. I dreamed I was with him and we layed downed together and went to sleep. I know God is taking care of my baby but I need him so much in my life. He is the best of me. Keto came along after I had lost my Papa and filled a painful void. He gave me everything and I feel like I fell short of returning his attention. I love him very much and will always regret not staying home from work to spend more time with him. I will always question if I let go too soon. I tell him Im sorry every day. I wish for one more hug, one more kiss and most of all one more time to say how much I love him.
01-08-2009 12:03 PM -- By: Marla Marie, Critters.com memorial: Marla Marie Memorial She sure is a cutie!!!
01-08-2009 9:18 AM -- By: Stacy, Minn-Minn, Critters.com memorial: Minnie Memorial Good morning, everyone!Ā Could you stop by Marla Marie's memorial today and leave a nice note for her mommy, Donna, it is her 1 Year Angel Day and I am sure it will make her smile to know that her baby has not been forgotten!ĀLove to you all!
01-08-2009 2:20 AM -- By: Rose, Critters.com memorial: Odie Memorial Thank you to all the kind people that have sent me messages of support. I hope all our beloved pets are playing together and we will see them again some day.ĀI'm sorry for everybody's losses and we're all in this together. I'm glad to be able to communicate with others that understand what I'm going through. God bless you all. Sincerely, Rose(Odie's mom)
01-07-2009 7:01 AM -- By: Rose, Critters.com memorial: Odie Memorial Odie left us just before Christmas and we are so heartbroken. I especially miss my "little cat" . This was the first cat I ever had and I'm the one who found him, actually we found each other. I picked him up from the parking lot at work. Nothing's the same without Odie. He will always be in our heart. I feel bad that it was such a busy time that I hardly got to spend any time with him the last couple of days of his life with all the running around I was doing. I still expect to see him running around the house. Like I said "Nothing's the same without him".
01-06-2009 8:04 AM -- By: Tracie Lil Joe's Mommy, Critters.com memorial: Lil Joe Memorial Today two years ago, my Lil Joe slipped away in my arms, how I can remember everything about that, holding him and telling him it's ok Sweetie, Mommy and Daddy Love you. I miss my baby everyday, he was the joy to me and made me smile. I know he is safe now and healed, living with all of his amazing friends at the Rainbow Bridge and someday I will see him again, but for now my Lil Joe I Love You.. Mommy
01-05-2009 12:17 AM -- By: Paula, Critters.com memorial: KARLEY Memorial Happy New Year to everyone here. I tried to post a link for a song that was written for Karley but I can't post it here in the forum. So I have posted it on Karley's page. It is a lovely song & I hope that everyone enjoys it. Thank you, Paula
01-03-2009 11:58 PM -- By: Suzie Bragan, Critters.com memorial: KETO BOY Memorial It has been another long week and longer nights. I visit Keto's memorial under his favorite tree in the backyard often. Although it breaks my heart, it also helps and makes me feel nearer to him somehow. I feel so empty and know that life will never be the same witout my shadow. Keto got me. He was and is everything good in me. He knew when I was sad or angry or happy and shared every emotion with me. He can never be replaced. I have 2 other babies but Keto and I were inseperable. I feel like my heart is breaking and I feel so alone in my thoughts. I pray for this horrible pain to leave me. It is as if I am scared to face another day now. It is effecting my work, sleep and my marriage but I do not know how to feel "better". I put on a face to go to work but on the drive home I begin to feel anxious waiting to see Keto only to get home and he is not there. I dream. I smell him. I hear him. I miss him so much it hurts.
01-03-2009 2:31 PM -- By: , Critters.com memorial: Gracie Memorial I have added some videos of Gracie on to her page
01-02-2009 1:14 PM -- By: Janice Giampaoli, Critters.com memorial: Duke Memorial A Very Happy New Year to all the Critter's Family members, and their most precious beloved fur angels!Ā Kisses and Hugs to all those many precious fur children that have gone to heaven.ĀYou are remembered and loved.
01-02-2009 1:04 PM -- By: Janice Giampaoli, Critters.com memorial: Dusty Memorial I ask that you please visit this precious dog's site. Except for myself, and my sister Gina, he has never been visited by anyone, including his former family and friends. It makes my heart feel so sad for him. I can't imagine what has happened. This poor dog has nothing on his site. No picture, details, nothing. Please give him TLC! Let him know that he is remembered. Thank you.
01-01-2009 5:54 PM -- By: , Critters.com memorial: Gracie Memorial Tommarow , Janurary 2nd will be two months since Gracie had gotten her wings. We all miss her very much. She will be remember and always in our hearts.
01-01-2009 3:34 PM -- By: Brenda, Critters.com memorial: BUSTER Memorial To all the special friends iv made on critters, i wish you all the love and happiness for 2009, and for us all to be there for each other in our low times. You have all been a great comfort to me and i will always hold that friendship close to me,
Happy New Year to all, and a special thank you to MARC AND SHARON,
01-01-2009 3:09 PM -- By: Scott and Cathy DeBlois, Critters.com memorial: Doogie Memorial To all of those who lost friends this past year...may 2009 bring you peace and comfort.
It has been a little over a year since we lost our dear friend Doogie. We still miss him terribly however we now refect on the good times and remember mostlyĀ his quirky nature and things he did to amuse us. We have put the all the bad memories aside and they only sneak back in occassionally.
For those of you who have had a recent loss, I promise you it gets better with time. It is never easy but it does get better. At first it is a crushing pain and feels you may never get over it, but you will...Over time the good memories start to dominate the recent bad ones and begin to squeeze them out of your everyday thoughts.Ā They will always be in your thoughts, but try and remember all the love and good times they gave to you. Doogies Mom, Dad, and "sister Maxiluna".

Bulls to lose Bok lock early?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:39
The Bulls could be without France-bound lock Juandré Kruger at the business end of the Super Rugby season.
The line-out kingpin's contract with Racing Metro starts on July 1 and while he has been cleared to play for the Springboks if selected, the chances of him being available for the Bulls' last three regular season games and the play-offs – should they qualify – appear slim.
Bulls coach Frans Ludeke, however, believes they will be able to agree a deal with the French club.
"We are in negotiations and we are confident we can come to an agreement as he is an important player to us," Ludeke told supersport.com
The Bulls, who are third on the log and leading the South African Conference, play host to the Hurricanes at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

Music to Your Ears
Last Thursday night's Mountainside YMCA local band showcase was a smashing success. The second event of the "Band-It" showcase series featured Camden, the Ryan McGarvey Band, Someday, Gingerbread Patriots and Unit 7 Drain. All of the above gave spirited performances, but the surprise of the evening, at least as far I as was concerned, was 17-year-old blues guitar prodigy, Ryan McGarvey. With a little more vocal seasoning, just a tad more experience and a few additional original tunes, this kid's gonna be as jaw-dropping a performer as Alex Maryol. The YMCA's "Band-It" series will resume in the spring. ... El Paso's Cantina Flys will appear at Pucinni's Golden West Saloon on Saturday, Oct. 16, at 9 p.m., after appearing on KUNM's "Ear to the Ground" program at 7 p.m. ... and right next door at the Launchpad, you can catch the Punx Unite Tour, featuring The Casualties, Lower Class Brats, Frontline Attack and The Visects. Children of all ages are welcome at this one, but details regarding just what the "punx" are uniting for or against are hazy as of press time. ... Acclaimed axman Greg Osby is slated to appear on Monday, Oct. 4, at the Outpost Performance Space at 7:30 p.m. If Joe Anderson bought bigger ads, I'd have more space to tell you all about this show, but you'll have to settle for calling 268-0044 for more information.

I have been working at The Goddard School
Excellent peers, caring and responsive management, clean building, accredited school, high standards all the way around, management is very open to suggestion and has the motto 'I can't fix it if I don't know that its broken', very little drama and very little gossip
Working with children is hard work.
Keep doing what you are doing. I like the fact that everyone pitches in to help out when needed.

I have been working at The Goddard SchoolPros
Well known preschool, majority of the parents are nice, pretty clean, management usually gives praise for job well done and notices things teachers do to make their rooms better, nice coworkers, nice owners/managersCons
The new employees have late hours, many people are underpaid for the amount of work they complete in comparison to the amount parents pay for tuition, some co-workers are underachievers and are burnt out and they are still highly compensated just because they have been with the school for a number of years. College degrees hold no leverage.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Compensate employees who actually do their jobs well and make the workload on teachers manageable. Fire people who have low work ethic even if they have been with the company for a number of years. Stop using substitutes for miscellaneous tasks and put them in the rooms to help teachers to prevent burn out. Hire a cleaning company. The cleaning man does absolutely nothing! He is worthless and they still pay him to do nothing. He doesn't mop, sweep, or vacuum ever! Management makes subs scrub bathrooms, the kitchen, and dishes.No opinion of CEO

Mornington, Australia | Member Since 2009
"You really must listen to this book!"
Why I have ignored Bryce's work for so many years I can only put down to some vague sense of snobbery after all, how could an 'Ad Man&' actually write. The Potato Factory was my first choice for I have a deep, albeit new, connection with Tasmania and the Power of One with all its associated hoopla wasn't going to do it for this cynic.
Well, I bow to a master story teller and apologies for making assumptions, at least in this book, that were totally unjustified. The astringency, pain, suffering, smells, colours, sounds were so well described that even someone devoid of imagination could have all their senses triggered through Humphrey Bower's great gift of sound acting.
I urge you to listen for if you have an interest in historical tales this one cannot disappoint you in any shape or form.
That being said, I am not sure who the sound producer was but listen closely and from time to time as your mind, ears and sense of smell dwell far away in the streets of early London or in the lowlands of Mt Wellington in Tasmania, you will hear that unique ping of someone either turning on or off a computer. Very grounding maybe but an unnecessary distraction; as audios interuptus, it rather spoiled the moment.
"1 of three and a good listen (for the genre)"
Get them in sequence and buy them rather than use your credits as they are good value. His (theoretical and believable) grasp of the world of computers if fun. Not easy to put down
"Worth the effort (I think, but don't blame me!)"
This book is like a giant layered cake with few surprises but at the end you know you have had a feast. It is not easy to get into and stick with but it is witty and pithy and if you have a long holiday coming up with long interludes of downtime, then try it.
"For me, saved by the Narrator"
Other listeners have raved about Outlander and I sort of get why that might be for the story structure is good and the Gaelic imagery excellent. However, there is little or no benefit in it being about time travel for this is where the imagery fails. If one was to time travel all of a sudden without knowledge or preparation there would be so much more going on regarding the challenge of the effect upon time and place. Our heroin is just too 'accepting' of the situation for the tale to work for me. It set up an expectation for me that was not fulfilled
"For the history/flying buff this is sublime"
Perfectly stitched together tales about the world's flying greatest 'transitioners' in that they started in string bags and finished just after the moon landing. Great read, super tales, excellently researched and well balanced. Well worth a credit in anyone's money.
"My one and only Perfect 10"
In truth this is not everyone's cuppa because you had to have been there to really, and I mean really, 'get it'. I was, albeit before Fry Minor and at a different school but through his recollections and story telling I was reacquainted with senses, events and people I had long forgotten. It is a magical carpet ride, a parallel universe where everything was the same, only the names different (we even had our own Stephen Fry!). Be warned, expletives are therein aplenty but when used in Fry's context, in his delivery, they are an important part of the adjectival pallet. Thank you Stephen for your intellect and courage and supreme sense of humour and contriteness. Long may you continue to scribe.
"Please List In Sequence!"
The Book is great but please, please let the listener know the order in which a series needs to be listened to. Kent just writes books, great books if you like his genre but it is essential you listen to them in sequence. Would it be too hard to ask???
The Langdon Tale continues in more or less the same places he always seems to venture. Easy listening that does show that Brown seems to love to travel and does try to find issues that naturally polarize his audience. Not a 'must have' but fun for all of that.
"Octopussian entertainment"
What I mean by that is if you like books within books that come together then this is your genre. The tentacles start far apart and come together to form the body of the tale. I listened twice because it was easy and 'hopeful'.
"Sorry? Who wrote this exactly?"
I am sorry but I cannot think this was written by TC, it is misses everything that makes his work work. Either he is in his dotage and lost the plot or he is being 'played' by the publishers. Couldn't follow it, the names were all over the place and you lost track, it just made me think 'what is going on here?' This is the only bad report I have ever written for TC and if he DIDN'T actually write it but leant his name to it in some way well then it is a publishing ripoff. If he did write it then it is time to stop, sorry!
"Great audio wallpaper"
I like the McNab tales but they are not always relaible and this was one of those

- The AV-400L camera has a large vision and can give you clear informations about the back view
How to Install a Rear-View Camera in Your Car:
- Disconnect the battery cables from the battery. Check the vehicle's repair manual to find out what size wrench to use. Leave the disconnected cables a safe distance from the battery posts
- Decide where you want to install the rear-view camera. Most people put them in the plastic bumper so they don't have to drill into the car's sheet metal
- Drill a hole for the camera. Check the installation instructions to see what size drill bit to use. Don't make the hole too large or the camera will fall out
- Place the camera in the hole using the rubber grommet supplied with the camera. Make sure the camera and grommet are tight
- Attach the camera's power wire to the backup-light power wire on your car. You'll have to splice the wires together. Use wire cutters to cut the wires, leaving enough excess wire to reconnect. Strip the ends of the wire to expose the bare wire using wire strippers. Splice the wires together using a two-into-one connector. This will give the rear-view camera power when you put the car in reverse
- Route the camera's output wire to the rear-view monitor and connect the wire to the monitor's input. For installation of the monitor, see the monitor's installation instructions
- Reconnect the battery, start the car and put the car in reverse. The rear-view monitor should turn on and give you a view of what's behind you
How to Connect a Rear View Camera:
- Remove the plastic or carpet panel on the inside of the trunk behind the license plate and below the trunk lid. If your vehicle is an SUV (sport utility vehicle) or something similar, expose the innards inside the tailgate
- Mount the camera. Remove the two license plate bolts and insert them through the camera bolt holes and back onto the car. Use the license plate light hole to push the wiring through to the trunk
- Run the red and white cable from the camera you have mounted on the license plate frame to a reversing light housing inside the vehicle. The license plate light can provide a convenient hole, or simply drill a new hole and weatherize it with a grommet
- Trim and strip 1/4 inch of plastic sheathing off the end of the wire at the reversing light housing
- Identify the vehicle wires that provide power to the reversing lights. Identify them by tracing the wiring back from the reversing light bulb connector. Strip 1/4- inch of plastic sheathing off the wire. This should be at a convenient, easy to reach location--the middle is fine. Wrap the camera wires around the reversing light wires, match red to red and black to black. Seal with electrical tape
- Attach the display monitor to a convenient position on the dashboard. Use the included hook and loop tape. Plug the power supply from the display monitor into the cigarette lighter plug on the vehicle's dashboard
- Test and then replace the plastic or carpet panel

Put Your Best Face Forward
10 simple steps for a better shave and smoother skin
Before Your Shave
A great shave isn't just about the shaving part—it's also about prepping your face. Try shaving after (or even during) a hot shower, dermatologist Nicholas Perricone explains, "because the moisture will give you a lot of lubrication, and you'll have less traction on the skin." Alternatively, you can use a high-quality shave oil to get the same effect, like this one from Ren, made with all-natural Tahitian Tamanu oil. $27, www.renskincare.com

"Tour of Historic Buildings"
New York City is the setting. The story revolves around human trafficking. Bodies wash up on shore. An assistant DA is called in the watch over the investigation. She and her NYPD detective pal Mike follow clues through many of the city's historic mansions, including the mayor's official residence, Gracie Mansion. Lots of plot twists though not a lot of character development. I found Barbara Rosenblat's low rumbling voice hard to hear over the traffic noise during my comute.

Islamic State militants had demanded millions of dollars for James Foley's release. While the US government refuses to pay ransoms to kidnappers, some European governments have done so in the past, enriching Al Qaeda and its affiliates.
The Islamic State has targeted key energy infrastructure in Iraq, including Mosul Dam, which was recaptured yesterday by Kurdish and Iraqi forces backed by US airstrikes.
The dam had been in the hands of Islamic State militants. The role of US warplanes in the offensive raises questions over mission creep in Iraq.
The fighters of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan have struggled to contain the spread of the so-called Islamic State. But infighting, a lack of training, and political divisions have hampered them so far.
The PKK - a Kurdish separatist group based in Turkey that the US has placed on its 'terrorist list' – has been in the thick of the fight against the Islamic State in Iraqi Kurdistan.
That's a popular claim. But there's not much evidence to support it.
Members of Iraq's Yazidi minority and other groups have flooded into Iraqi Kurdistan for safety. But their needs are vast, and the region is coming under strain.
The US is developing a plan to rescue members of the Yazidi minority group amid increasing calls from the Kurdish government and Yazidi leaders for the US to respond more forcefully against Islamic State militants.
In recent days, tens of thousands of Yazidis have crossed into Kurdish-controlled territory, fleeing Islamic militants. US air strikes and Kurdish forces have checked the advance of the Islamic State.
Iraq's president has nominated a replacement for Prime Minister Maliki, who is unpopular at home and abroad. But Iraq's problems go much deeper.
The photograph shows a young boy holding a decapitated head and was published by Australian media. The incident has drawn attention to the ranks of Westerners joining jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq.
Some members of Iraqi's Yazidi minority have made their way to safety in Turkey. But many more remain under threat at home from the jihadis rampaging across northern Iraq.
Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq, thanks to help from US airstrikes, appear to have fought off an assault on Erbil by the jihadis of the Islamic State. The US is moving towards providing the Kurds more than air support.
The embattled Iraqi prime minister shows no willingness to step aside for a new unity government, which the US insists is crucial to reduce tensions and resist Islamic State militants.
Territorial gains by Kurdish fighters and relief for stranded Yazidis follow the first days of US military intervention in Iraq. Britain and France are also getting involved. But the Islamic State remains a potent threat.
Obama sought to reassure Americans that the attacks in northern Iraq would not lead to another US war. But the air strikes will have limited impact against the dispersed militants without ground-based personnel, some analysts say.
The Iraqi parliament is poised to miss a Friday night constitutional deadline for selecting a new prime minister. Despite tumbling support, Prime Minister Maliki is refusing to give up his bid for another term.
As Islamic militants advance, President Obama authorized military airstrikes and humanitarian air drops to beleaguered religious minorities in northern Iraq.
Tens of thousands of Yazidis have taken refuge on a mountain in Sinjar province after Islamic State fighters overran their town and other areas, pushing out Kurdish paramilitary forces.
The ancient religious group, concentrated in Iraq, have been targeted for extermination by the so-called Islamic State that seized a number of towns along the Iraq-Syrian border this week.
The Lebanese militant organization is sending a small unit to assist Iran, its sponsor, in training Iraqi Shiite militia. Fighting in Syria and spillover onto Lebanese soil take priority for now.
A new government without a capable military won't mean much. And it doesn't appear that Iraq has one at the moment.
While volunteers have signed up to defend Shiite shrines in Iraq, Iran is leery of entanglement and suspicious of US motives. Iraq's parliament remains deadlocked on forming a new government.
Independence for Iraqi Kurdistan is looking inevitable, with Kurdish fighters seizing more territory from Iraq's central government today. But one key Kurdish faction is wary of going it alone.
Iraqi Kurdistan is moving ahead with independence plans. With Kurds also holding an important swing vote in Iraq's parliament, this is a problem. A big one.

Chris Brown & Karrueche: Timeline to a Break-Up
Breezy, Rih Rih, Karrueche, oh my! Everyone's favorite (or least favorite) love triangle may be no more. Yesterday, after days of rumors and paparazzi pics seemed to hint that Chris Brown was creeping with ex-girl Rihanna, Brown released a statement saying he had split up with his girlfriend of more than a year, model Karreuche Tran, over his "friendship" with Rih Rih. But this didn't happen overnight. In fact, with inflammatory tweets and now even a film short, the story's still developing so quickly that it's hard to keep up. But no worries, BET.com's got you. Here, we break down the history of Tran and Brown's bitter split, rumor by rumor, tweet by tweet, creep by creep. —Alex Gale

Enerfab to occupy former Dynasteel facility
by MBJ Staff
Published: August 9,2011
Tags: expansions, jobs, manufacturing, mergers and acquisitions
NATCHEZ — Enerfab, an equipment manufacturing firm with design and build capabilities serving the process industries, will begin manufacturing operations in Natchez and plans to expand production capabilities at the facility formerly operated by Dynasteel.
Enerfab's new Natchez location, which will be known as Enersteel, will retain much of Dynasteel's existing workforce, and the company will create 75 new jobs at the facility, according to Gov. Haley Barbour.
Barbour said, "Enerfab officials saw a dedicated, quality workforce and chose Natchez to grow the company. I applaud them for not only retaining much of the facility's existing workforce but for adding another 75 jobs."
The Natchez facility will specialize in fabricated steel plate products that include storage tanks and pressure vessels for industrial process markets. It also will produce duct work and other major air quality control components for the power generation industry.
"We are excited to be locating manufacturing operations in Natchez, and the prime location and proximity of our new facility to the Natchez–Adams County Port will enable Enersteel to ship to our Enerfab field construction crews and competitively sell large fabricated products to our clients," said Enerfab president of process solutions and fabricated products Jeff Hock. "We really appreciate the support we have received from the Mississippi Development Authority and Adams County, and we look forward to beginning production here in Natchez."
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Enerfab Inc. is a manufacturing and construction company serving the process and power industries. Enersteel is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enerfab with a sales office in Memphis.

It's a good thing that Star Trek has come such a long way since the late 80s in it's depiction of women from the first season of The Next Generation. We have literally gone from a ratio of six men and three women to six men and one woman. And it's going to get a lot better. I hear that the next movie will have Uhura finally using her linguistic skills when contacting an alien race that doesn't speak english. And they say I'm unfair.

All the talk of a new arena for the New York Islanders has been the crux of the discussions of revamping Nassau County's Hub in Uniondale. However, the other piece of the puzzle just started to come together on Monday, June 11.
Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced on July 11 that the county selected an RFP (request-for-proposal) from Long Island Ducks owner Frank Boulton of the independent Atlantic League to bring a Minor League Baseball team to Nassau County. This agreement with the Central Islip-based team is contingent upon a $400 million bond referendum passing before voters Aug. 1.
The Levittown Lightning girls U6 soccer team took third place in the Plainedge Soccer 2011 Father's Day Tournament. With incredible goalkeeping, awesome defense and a relentless offensive attack the girls showed their great soccer skills and terrific team play. The players are Emma, Gianna, Shannon, Athena, Blayke, Ava, Shae, Hallie and Madison. Coach Tom and Coach Joe would like to thank all the parents for their support.
Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School recognized the achievements of its outstanding students at its Annual Honors Banquet held on Tuesday, June 14 at the Fox Hollow Caterers in Woodbury. Among those honored was Levittown resident Michael Valencia.
Nassau County will offer a series of general and specialized baseball clinics at Cantiague and Wantagh parks in June and July.
"I am pleased to introduce this program as part of our ongoing effort to provide meaningful and affordable recreational opportunities for Nassau County's youngsters," says County Executive Ed Mangano. "The program is designed for boys and girls at all skill levels."
Joey Manna of Island Trees has signed his letter of intent to play football at Buffalo State College next fall. Manna played an instrumental role in ITHS' 2010 football season as a two-way lineman playing both offensive guard and defensive tackle.
Congratulations to the Levittown Lightning soccer team for gaining a tie for First Place in the Massapequa Father's Day Tournament. The girls played outstanding as a team, with a record of 3-1 in a very competitive U8 division. Coached by Rich Untener and Chris Gately, the girls included Emily Gillis, Melanie Barroca, and Alexandra Gately; (middle row) Hailey Clancy, Natalie Untener, Skyla Looney, Isabella Vocile, and Nicole Amatulli; (kneeling) Alyssa Accordino, Olivia Eden, and Isabella Molina; as well as Isabella Casucci (missing.)
The LAC Slammers headed to Pennsylvania on Memorial Day weekend to play in the 2011 Rock Memorial Day ASA National qualifier tournament. The Slammers played with intensity all weekend long and took second place in the 16U Championship game, earning the Silver title – LAC Slammers Silver. On Monday, Memorial Day, the Slammers played three games back-to-back in the 95-degree weather and the girls always managed to maintain a positive and winning attitude on the bench and in the field. The coaches would also like to thank the parents, because without the support of the parents the Slammers would not be who they are – Go parents!
Congratulations to the Varsity Softball team for an outstanding regular season in a highly competitive conference. The team finished with an 8-4 conference record (9-6 overall record) that earned them a #2 seed in the single elimination, Nassau County tournament.

Just when Kevin Love was getting ready to try to salvage something positive from a lost seasons, one more injury cropped up to end it all. A few days after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Love vowed to come back stronger than ever from a massively disappointing season for him and the Minnesota Timberwolves. ''This was supposed to be such a big year for us and myself and everybody included in this organization,'' Love said on Saturday before the Wolves hosted the Suns. ''It (ticks) me off in a lot of ways.'' Coming off of a breakout season in the NBA and playing a pivotal role in Team USA's run to the gold medal in London, Love was poised to vault into the elite in this league, and take the Timberwolves with him. But he broke his right hand twice -- once just before the season started and then again in early January -- and was limited to just 18 games. And as he was preparing to return after having surgery on his hand in January, ...

Are interns employees?
This seems to be a hot topic all across North America.
Interns often provide services to revenue-generating organizations including non-profits. There is no doubt that they contribute to the sustainability of these enterprises while also developing a skill or gaining practical knowledge. Traditionally, it has been considered that they are not employees. Therefore, it is assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that there are no Worker's Compensation Board, overtime, minimum wage, Income Tax, CPP, and Employment Insurance obligations.
Cases concerning interns in the United States have gone both ways on the issue and there are appeals in process.
There appears to be no binding decisions in Canada on the issue of whether interns should be treated as employees.
In BC our Employment Standards Branch publishes interpretation guidelines which are not particularly helpful in making a determination: http://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/igm/esa-part-1/igm-esa-s1-work.htm.
The reason for the uncertainty is that the typical definition of Employee in our legislation is broad and inclusive.
In my view those employers who are requiring interns to do work conducted by other employees are at risk of being declared an employer for these interns.
Article written by Alfred Kempf
Workplace drug and alcohol concerns
Addressing drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace is a challenging and sensitive issue, as addictions sit at the crossroads of privacy law, human rights, occupational health and safety and management rights.
From a management perspective, substance abuse impacts several important employer interests and the employee's ability to meet expectations flowing from the employment relationship. Some of these expectations include the employee's ability to:
- attend work punctually and regularly;
- perform assigned duties competently and fully capacitated; and
- perform assigned duties in a healthy, safe and conscientious manner.
Recognizing the competing rights and interests at play when concerns over substance abuse arise, it is important for management to have a clear understanding of how and when they should intervene.
When Substance Abuse is Suspected
Drug or alcohol dependency is now clearly recognized as a disability. For this reason, human rights law and the duty to accommodate become engaged when an employer either knows or ought to know of the disability. Recognizing this, if the employer suspects that the employee's absenteeism or performance issues are related to substance abuse, it has a duty to make inquiries regarding the health of the employee before taking disciplinary action or other steps that adversely affect the employee's employment.
In a sense, the "duty to inquire" is akin to an informal and internal investigation. It can include making notes and observations about the employee's conduct (arriving late, slurred speech), the employee's appearance (glossy or blood-shot eyes, odour) and of course speaking with the employee in question and his or her co-workers.
Naturally, meeting with someone suspected of having an addiction issue will not be a typical meeting or interview. The topic is very sensitive and it should be anticipated that the employee may deny the allegation, become defensive and possibly offended or aggressive. Management needs to be respectful, supportive and must recognize that the employee's behaviour (including a denial) is a symptom of the disability. Misbehaviour associated with an addiction may be involuntary and should not necessarily be considered a culpable misconduct.
If the employee confirms a substance abuse problem, the employer should immediately begin to work with the employee to manage expectations and to identify and support a relevant accommodation plan. This plan can include a leave of absence to seek treatment and a flexible schedule to allow for appointments with doctors, counselors or support services.
If the employee denies having an addictions issue, the employer may then be in a position to address performance and safety issues through corrective actions. Even when an employee denies an addiction, management should clearly document the discussion with the employee, summarizing concerns raised regarding substance abuse and any discussions of accommodation. While the employer must be sensitive to the fact that denial of an addiction may also be a symptom of the illness, the employer will nonetheless be in a stronger position to address problem behaviour through corrective action and progressive discipline without raising discrimination concerns.
Mandatory or Random Testing
Some employers, particularly in safety sensitive industries, are inclined to take a proactive approach to drug and alcohol use by imposing random testing of employees. This type of testing has been the topic of significant debate in recent years due to its invasive nature and underlying human rights questions. In fact, random testing has even been the subject of a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision.
Where employers have argued that random drug and alcohol testing is necessary to promote safe workplaces, our courts have largely rejected this reasoning. Presenting a dangerous workplace will not in itself be sufficient to justify random alcohol or drug testing. For today's safety sensitive employers, random alcohol and drug testing will be carefully scrutinized, and will only be permitted in a dangerous working environment where there is evidence of an existing general problem of substance abuse in the workplace.
Recognizing this, testing can be permitted where an employer has reasonable cause to believe that an employee is impaired, where the employee has been involved in an accident or near miss, or as part of a return to work program for substance abuse.
Addressing substance abuse in the workplace is complex and multifaceted, pitting diverse and competing interests in privacy, human rights and management rights against one another. In this environment, employers need to be vigilant by being respectful and supportive of disabilities and treatment plans, while also ensuring a healthy and safe working environment.
Employers who suspect that an employee has a substance abuse problem are encouraged to get legal advice to discuss the duty to inquire and their obligations under the duty to accommodate.

Principals must register with WorksafeBC
If you are the sole active principal ("Principal") of a business, you are probably concerned with many issues, like profitability and paying taxes. An important issue you must also consider is how you'll maintain your livelihood if you're injured on the job. To that effect, it's important that as the Principal, you register and meet all WorksafeBC requirements to ensure you're covered in the event you're injured. If you fail to meet these requirements and you are injured on the job, the Board will likely deny you coverage.
For example, in WCAT decision WCAT-2009-03348, the Principal of an auto repair shop was seriously injured on the job and was blinded in one eye. The Principal's company's registration with the Board had lapsed and he tried to apply for coverage after his injury. Despite his sympathetic circumstances, the Board denied him coverage and it seems he was left without recourse.
If you're unsure whether you're covered, you must follow up with WorksafeBC to confirm you are in fact covered. There are circumstances where a sole active principal might believe his registration and premiums are being remitted to the Board by another company, but they in fact aren't. For example, in WCAT decision WCAT-2011-02017, the Board denied a claim where a Principal was injured while carrying on business as a window and door installation sub-contractor through his company ("M Company"). The Board denied coverage and held that notwithstanding the individual's argument that his contractor had been remitting payments to the Board on his behalf, M Company was a standalone entity requiring standalone registration. The Board reached this decision despite the fact that the contractor provided M Company with the majority of its work, exercised significant control, paid for tools and materials, set deadlines, retained responsibility for quality control, and controlled contracts.
Long story short, if you are operating a small business in B.C., or are a Principal, it's important that you ensure you are compliant with WorksafeBC requirements. To accomplish this task, engage WorksafeBC in discussion about your status or contact an employment lawyer to assess for you.

When workplace investigations go wrong
For a variety of reasons, workplace investigations are becoming increasingly common in businesses of all sizes. There are a number of reasons for this, including compliance under law, requirements under collective bargaining agreements and best practices in human resources. While the benefits of effective investigations should not be understated, it's equally important for companies and HR professionals to recognize the legal implications of investigations gone wrong.
While an investigator is tasked with gathering evidence and information, he or she must also be sensitive to privacy concerns. In British Columbia, most businesses will fall under the BC Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) or the Federal Government's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documentation Act (PIPEDA).
This legislation governs the collection and use of personal information for both employees and non-employees. An unlawful use or disclosure of personal information by an investigator can quickly lead to a complaint to a privacy commissioner and in some cases a lawsuit for the tort of "intrusion upon seclusion".
Under the BC Workers' Compensation Act, there are a number of instances where employers are required to conduct investigations, including in responding to a workplace injury or death and if occupational health and safety concerns are raised.
While WorkSafeBC is not normally quick to issue sanctions, failure to investigate can lead to a complaint being filed and a WorkSafeBC field investigator being appointed. WorkSafeBC also has the authority to issue penalties and fines in response to a company's failure to investigate.
Defamation arises when a publication, either spoken or written, is made which tends to lower a person in the estimation of members of their community. Defamatory statements do not normally give rise to a claim if they are truthful or if the publisher has qualified privilege, meaning an interest or a legal, social or moral duty to publish the information.
In the case of a workplace investigation, employers will generally have qualified privilege to investigate accusations, even if these accusations are false. However, investigators must also be vigilant to explore complaints responsibly and professionally and to limit unnecessary disclosure or publication.
The tort of "false imprisonment" is a bit of a misnomer, as there is no need for a prison or any kind of incarceration. Rather, this type of legal action arises when someone is intentionally confined by another person without legal reason.
In the course of a workplace investigation, false imprisonment may arise during the witness interview. It is important that the person being interviewed be made aware that they can leave at any time and that they are not being held against their will.
Clearly, any investigation which has resulted in battery has gone very wrong. However, investigators should also be very clear as to what constitutes the tort of assault and battery. Briefly stated, assault is the intentional creation of the apprehension of imminent harm. No physical harm occurs, but rather the apprehension of harm (think threatening someone with a fist). Battery arises when someone causes an offensive contact such as a punch, kick or shove.
In heated discussions, tempers can flare. For this reason, during the course of an investigation, employers must be aware that a menacing gesture, a push into a chair, or striking an object, creating a projectile, may all amount to the tort of assault and battery.
Investigations enhance company transparency, help correct problem behaviour and address interpersonal conflicts. When properly conducted, they can also help limit corporate liability and avoid the costs and inconvenience of litigation. However, investigators must also be mindful of the legal implications of poorly conducted investigations. In most instances, it is this author's opinion that the concerns raised in this article will be overcome with a professional, responsible and good faith investigation into legitimate concerns.

Jasper man hurt on Thanksgiving when clothes catch fire
JASPER - by Mike Lout/KJAS & Rayburn Broadcasting Company
An 86 year old Jasper man is undergoing treatment for the injuries he received on Thanksgiving morning when the clothes he was wearing caught fire at his home.
Police and emergency crews, along with firemen, were called to the home of Clinton Collins, in the 1900 block of North Bowie Street, shortly before 8:00, when it was reported that the incident had occurred.
Police at the scene said Clinton was apparently warming himself in front of a heater when his clothing caught fire.
His son, Joe Michael Collins is being credited with quickly tearing the burning clothes off his father and putting out the fire which had spread to a couch.
Clinton was taken by ambulance to Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital where he was treated before being transferred by helicopter to a hospital in Galveston.
Jasper City Fire Marshal Mike Collier said it appeared that Collins received 2nd degree burns to approximately 30 percent of his body.
