- No need for a tag. I always ended up hooking the leash to the wrong ring. Not only would the dog end up not on the leash...I would loss the tag.

All of our collars, unless otherwise noted on the collar's page, are measured to the center hole for a TRUE neck size. Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room to slip one finger between your pet's neck and the collar, so do this as you determine your dog's neck size. The measurement of your dog's neck is the size of the collar it needs.
You don't buy pants for yourself that are a certain measurement and add or subtract several inches to get your true pants measurement, right? Why should you do that for your dog? We like to keep it simple and logical here at Dog IDs, Measure your dog's neck and order that size collar. That's the way it should be!
Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room between the pet's neck and the collar to slip one finger between them comfortably.
Method 1) Measure your dog's neck with a sewing tape while keeping two fingers between his skin and the tape.
Method 2) Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it.
Method 3) Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the center of the buckle to the current sizing hole being used.Learn more about measuring methods.

Master Warrior IIIVinyasa Flow | By Jo Tastula on Jul 30 2012
Just like falling asleep, the moment we fall into meditation is magical. Through simple awareness and sustained focus, over time meditation can become a real tangible experience in the vinyasa flow practice. This practice focuses on the internal leg action which is key to mastering our peak pose notorious warrior 3 (virabhadrasana 3). We practice the action in sun salutations with crescent (surya namaskara) and particularly when raising a leg from down dog to step through. Free time at the end of the class for either backbends, inversions or hip openers. Lots of time to fall into a deep savasana also!

On July 22, 2013, Alan Arnold joined the OGR team as our new Advertising Sales Manager. Alan is an active O scale modeler and also participates in the OGR On-Line Forum.
Alan hails from Mountain Home, Arkansas. He attended the University of Arkansas and graduated with degrees in architecture and secondary education. He has worked as a teacher, and taught 8th grade through college level courses for 11 years.
23 years ago Alan left the teaching profession and went to work for the local Gannett newspaper. He did advertising sales there, racking up an impressive record of performance. After a few years in the print business, he left the newspaper to try a new challenge - using his architectural and marketing backgrounds to plan and sell manufactured housing. This lasted a few years before Alan went back to his true love, marketing and selling advertising. Back at the local paper he earned the title of Senior Key Account Manager and was in charge of the paper's "white glove" accounts. In 2006 Alan became the Marketing Director for a company that owns several television stations.
Fast forward to 2013 and Alan is now the new Advertising Sales Manager at OGR Publishing, Inc. Alan will be making regular calls to our current advertisers and building relationships with new clients as well.

2013 Rule 5 Draft Results
The last day of the Winter Meetings usually means the Rule 5 Draft took place, a draft where teams take the minor leaguers from other organizations if they're not protected on the 40-man roster. The Yankees 40-man roster was full so the Yankees didn't draft anyone, but they did lose players in the draft. Here's ...

There are many out there who question the Yankees methods in their advancement, instruction, and mentoring of prospects as they advance through the farm system.

text: Why we shamelessly love the Olsen twins' ''Two of a Kind'' I'm prepared to live with not being able to tell the Olsen twins apart. But what I absolutely have to know is: What happened between their ''Two of a Kind'' father Kevin (Christopher Sieber) and live-in babysitter Carrie (Sally Wheeler)? In 1999, a season of intense TV-G chemistry culminated in a passionate airport kiss -- right before Carrie hopped a plane to Brazil. ''See you in September,'' she teased. But then the show got canceled. Four years and far too many ABC Family reruns later, I was still waiting for closure. Until now. ''Okay, it wasn't written in stone,'' says cocreator Bob Griffard, ''but we were talking about Carrie coming back with a boyfriend.'' What!?! ''We would have kept them apart as long as we could. That's what's fun.'' Nooo! ''But they still would have gotten together [in the end].'' Thank you!

PhoneArena interviews the biggest iPhone fanboy
Now, we can actually sense those clouds of doubt starting to gather around, swinging everyone into the direction of thinking this guy is just doing it for the fame, so what better way to have it all clear, than to hear it from the horse's mouth, we say? Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to bring you the naked truth about the interesting figure of Rob Shoesmith – is he the biggest iPhone fanboy the world has ever seen, or just an enterprising individual who wouldn't miss an opportunity when he sees it? Our interview with him will reveal all that, and more...
PhoneArena: Hey Rob, thanks for accepting this interview. We'd like to jump straight to the point and ask you to tell us a bit about how you came up with this whole idea of the iPhone 5 experiment. Why did you decide to camp in front of an Apple store for as long as three weeks, before the device is actually released? Won't a few days get the job done to ensure you'll be the one to get the first unit, or that's not what the experiment is about?
Rob: Firstly I'm a massive tech and Apple fan and love iPhone launches and work for a major app development company MEDL Mobile. There is such a buzz and excitement around them. As a company Apple has such a huge marketing and media influence I thought it would be cool to see if it would be possible to live indirectly off this influence from donations from other companies and see how far I could take the idea. The sheer volume of items donated will mean I will have to be camped out for some time so I can review all them.
PhoneArena: We know that a lot of companies and people out there have already responded, sending you lots of different stuff, which sure proves your idea to be working for now. Do you believe companies and individuals will continue to be interested during the course of the experiment, and what's really in it for them?
Rob: I think they will. I have a distribution company that will forward any items sent to my home address over to a personal assistant company My Life Style PA who will be helping me once I've set up camp. In terms of what's in it for the companies helping me out it's all about getting their name and products out to a large number of people. I expect to generate millions of page views and this will be great-targeted exposure for them. Companies know this hence the reason for their involvement.
Some of the items and services to have been donated so far include:
- Top London restaurants to deliver food to my tent.
- Personal trainer to keep me fit
- Belly dancer
- Magician
- iPhone cake
- Free style soccer player to perform
- Live bands to perform
- Mobile laundry service to wash my dirty clothes for me
- Personal assistant company to run errands
- Loads of gadgets
- Camping equipment including a tent
- Clothing
If anyone would like to donate any items they can do so by getting in touch with me at email@example.com or sending me a tweet @shoesmith81.
PhoneArena: We guess that belly dancer will surely come in handy! Anyways, provided that everything goes according to plan, and you ultimately get your Apple iPhone 5 successfully, what will you be doing with all the goodies that remain? Are you going to take them home, or what?
Rob: The majority of the items donated will be auctioned off for charity. There are so many people worse off than I am and I feel its only fair for the items to go to a good cause.
PhoneArena: That's one very good cause indeed, Rob. So, tell us honestly – what's your main incentive here – being the first to buy the iPhone 5, or becoming very popular, for a very short amount of time? Is your company, MEDL Mobile backing you in some way?
Rob: It would be very cool if I was number 1 in getting my hands on the new iPhone but its not all about that. I work for an app developer MEDL Mobile and I'm sure I will make some new connections along the way. MEDL Mobile are happy for me to conduct the experiment as they are involved in the app development industry.
PhoneArena: What will you do after the three-week camping is over, are you getting back to your normal daily routines, or will be conceiving a new scheme to test your creativity and ingenuity – maybe for some other phone, or the iPad 3?
Rob: I have another experiment idea but not necessarily involving an Apple product launch as such. I'm still trying to formulate the idea in my head. The iPhone 5 experiment is the main focus at the minute so I haven't had too much time to think further ahead. I think it's important not to do the same thing twice.
I will be very keen to get back to my day job of marketing apps that my company MEDL Mobile have released and connecting with tech sites like yourselves.
There is a slight possibility of visiting a charity overseas to see where the proceeds of the charity money will be spent. I think that would be awesome!
PhoneArena: You bet! Thanks so much for your time, Rob. We wish you luck with the experiment!

There are a lot of homeless people just looking for quarters from people and this guy gets everything by camping outside an apple store for an iPhone? This is really pitiful...
32. shoesmith81 (Posts: 10; Member since: 15 Sep 2011)
Exactly. The money I raise from auctioning the products donated to me will go to charity.
46. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
then all the rich people should be ashamed for having money when there is hunger in the world?.... all the homelss people or at least most of them.. made a wrong choice in life and now well life makes you suffer just like we suffer when we make a mistake... and some choose to be homeless than to live in house and follow orders.. so wake up is 2011, ther are lots of shelters that will take care of you and the goverment will give you some foodstamps... we can offer help but thats up to us... really we are not force to feed them... i have to look out for my own family.. sorry for being direct...
104. remixfa (Posts: 14137; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i cant believe im saying this, but I agree with you 100%. If your homeless, its because you choose to be. There are dozens of help and outreach programs out there to get you off the street.
120. waveydavey (unregistered)
This is misinformed balderdash. A huge number of homeless people suffer from afflictions like schizophrenia that prevent them from making healthy decisions that further self preservation. Judge not, lest ye be judged.
151. remixfa (Posts: 14137; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
thats actually very true. You need to blame the politicians, aka the democrats, who thought it was inhumane to have these people institutionalized for life.. so they wrote a bill that set them all free (i think it was in the late 80s/early 90s actually) but they didnt think past opening the doors. Like typical politicians, they made a bill that sounded grand and made life for these people worse.
I wasnt talking about them though. They are a decent percentage, but the bulk of the people are not mentally ill. THOSE people chose to live in the streets.
Sorry, I should have clarified better.
192. lolz (unregistered)
when civilians start talking about politics, oh so well informed...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I understand what you're saying gallito but you have to keep in mind that there are countries where they don't even have shelters, like Africa for example, and many other third world countries. ....Don't tell me that they made the wrong choice when they did not even have the chance to make one, their parents were probably working as slaves or didn't have money to send their kids to shcools. So what you just posted just proves how ''closed-minded'' you are, try to read some books, fill you head with knwolodge. Being a wise man is much more important to me than having a lot of money.

i was keeping in in the US. of course in other countries women dont even have rights but we can be the world police. hunger suffering will always excist ... thats why we should be allowed to do our thing.. no matter how crazy it is.. people here in PA want to have the latest gadget all the time.. but do they really need them...?... there is people with no cellphones and people here will pay retail for the latest phone? ... and nobody says anything... same thing.. with this dude... and last is not about money.... or being closed minded... is about reality.. the world we live in... books dont educate you more than life itself... dont read.. live...

I really can't believe you guys could be so heartless. To think that homeless people are mostly there because of disc ions they have made is just very narrow-minded. You can believe all you want that it's their own fault, but why does that mean they shouldn't receive the same kind of donations as this well-to-do app developer who LEFT HIS JOB, just to get a phone? Why are the rich quicker to finance stupidity, than they are to help the down and out?
Most peope don't choose to be poor or homeless! It can sometimes just be a perfect storm of unfortunate incedents in a persons life that lead to the inability to provide for themselves. Why view this person less-worthy, then this guy who is just camping out to get a cell phone. And you the f**k should anyone care that he does't want to spend any of his own money to finance this stupid "experiment".
This guy has the means to provide for himself during this "experiement", so let him provide for himself. These companies should donate the food and products they planned for this guy, to someone who could really use it. Sometimes a helping hand is all some people need to get out of their situation. And for you guys to place judgements on people based soley on the fact that they are homeless, says more about YOU than them.

I've lived in my car for an entire xmas season with a poor german shepard i adopted that was homeless and bruised up not a few weeks before I became homeless myself. I know what it is to be homeless.
There are hundreds of millions a year of tax money poured into outreach, bedding, medical, feeding, and job placement centers for the homeless. Every city has them. The non mentally ill ones choose that path. They choose drugs and alchohol over food and shelter because you have to be clean to stay in a shelter. Thats the reality of it.
If we had a system that instead of spending billions in a "war on drugs" that we can never win, and put 1/10th of that money on "treatment and prevention", that would help many homeless (as well as normal folks of course).
Its a harsh reality and a harsh world.

how about read AND live.. that way you know what it is your experiencing. lol.

I've lived in my car as well! I worked for Motorola for five years and had just bought a home when I was fired. I had to give up my pets because I couldn't feed them. And when I couldn't find enough jobS to pay my mortgage and car note, I too became HOMELESS! In Chicago, where it can get just as cold in the winter as anyplace else. I got on my feet with help from no one, got a job. Made good money, until my doctor told me I had CVI and tarsal tunnel syndrome, which left me with a HUGE leg wound which took over a year to heal. So as you can imagine, my good paying job was a distant memory, right along with my health insurance! And in Illinois, you must be "able and available for work" as a condition to collect unemployment, and getting social security to help was a waste of time. So guess what happens next? You guessed it buddy, I was homeless AGAIN! Which was even worse because now I can't even walk! Never had I seen so much rejection in my life, than when I was unemployed. Some places formed to help the homeless would only help if you had a record, or were on drugs. So I had no choice but to get out of my situation on my own, which I am proud to say I was able to do.
There are some who have endured much more than you or I could ever imagine, and again, it may not have been their choice. All i'm saying is where is the compassion for your fellow man?
168. remixfa (Posts: 14137; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
my life experiences have left me with compassion for my friends and close family, and not much else. I care and help people in my immediate little life bubble. Dont get me wrong, I have plenty of compassion but I'm not a bleeding heart giving it away to just anyone. I came from a bad family background was on the streets at 15. I made something of myself. I expect others to do the same. Life is choice. If your life is messed up because of the choices you make, you get no sympathy. I may help guide you to something better if you ask for genuine help, but dont expect me to cry with you. Its not how it works. Natural medical conditions and accidents are another story.

This is a huge Apple PR & marketing ploy. Apple does know how to market their products though. They just needed an iSheep to do that. We all know he could have pre-ordered the phone & not subjected himself to that but I guess Apple needs to make this kind of news to try to keep up with Android's worldwide dominance. lol It's all fake & we all know it! He is not a fan, he is on Apple's payroll! lol
12. ayephoner (Posts: 837; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
i think its the dev's company looking for the attention.
anything like this and you guys look to pin it on apple. im sure apple has resorted to similar stuff, but as little publicity as this will gain, they dont care about this. not one bit.
18. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
That's just stupid to say. I don't think is payed by Apple. You android fans don't see anything but android. Then i guess you don't believe that there are people crazy enough to do this. iSheeps? you guys are so funny and stupid to think that Apple fans are "controlled". Everyone has the right to choose what they want. If they want the iPhone, ok. If they want an Android phone, ok. they have the right to choose. Like Steve Jobs said: "The consumers are voting and the iPhone is winning".
22. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4406; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
It's not stupid one bit. You don't think Apple is paying him, well I think he is. The ONLY fact here is that WE don't know. So we are all just speculating & that is it. My opinion is my own just like your opinion is yours. You don't hear me saying that your opinion is stupid to say. So let's not go there. Only an iSheep would do that. We all know this phone can be pre-ordered. This is needless & that is why I think Apple is paying him to do this. AGAIN that is my opinion!
45. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
You're saying that i'm an iSheep you're wrong as well as saying there are iSheeps. There are only people who like Android and Apple and other stuff.
65. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4406; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
No not you joaolx, I was calling Rob the man who is doing that for no reason what so ever, unless he is getting paid the iSheep! Who is supporting him during this time? It's not like he has months of vacation time. I wish I had months of vacation time. With my seniority I only get 40 days, not 2 months worth. Sorry I wasn't clear, I was not calling you an iSheep!

I must agree while I doubt he is "payed" by Apple he is probably looking for his 15 minutes of fame and to be called the world's biggest fanboy.

You're a loser darthball. This guy is very smart in marketing himself and his company. He's doing something while you troll on PA. Ignore most of the comments shoesmith81. This website is infested with android fanboys who hate anything Apple and yet comment on ALL their articles.
76. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4406; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
shoesmith81 don't listen to taco50, he is a child in high school. By the way he talks you will know this. He constantly calls people "loser" or that people get "owned" just like kids do in a high school cafeteria. Just read his post & make your own inference. He is by far the biggest instigator on this site. We all have our opinions & that is why we come to PhoneArena.com to blog. taco50 just needs to stop getting so emotional about the subject matter we all blog about. It's not life & death, you need to take things so personal that you need to say people are "losers" or that people get "owned", because all you do is belittle yourself & show your true age taco50.
83. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Why not call darthball out on the insult he threw at shoesmith? You sound like a hypocrite as usual. Also I wouldn't bring up writing style considering you cap everying and end most of your sentences with exclamation marks.
Also aren't you the guy that brings up his dad in arguments?
136. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4406; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I bring up my Father because he has a lot of insider information & is in the business. When I bring him up it's because it's relevant. I wasn't talking about darth8ball I was talking about you because you have insulted more people on this site then you ever have in real life, because you would get your butt handed to you in your high school cafeteria. darth8ball might insult people, but not nearly as frequent as you do! Also this is a blogging site I was not aware you were my English teacher. Wow you can't get out of the high school mode huh? Or is it that you are posting during class? taco50 your studies are the most important thing you will ever do, please while in class learn not blog from your iToy 4.

I AM a android fan to be sure. When the iphone 4 came out on verizon I went to check it out I had wanted one but I like a lot of others were not willing to switch to AT&T. I was extemely disappointed. The ui, software, speed, had not changed at all since the 3g, at least not to me. The only change to me was a front facing camera and shape. They are controlled. Lets talk about apps, android is open source, apple apps have to be approved by apple. Now with the iphone 5 about to hit the street rumors are the the shape is going to be retro, and no other significant changes. When I get a new phone I am looking to get better more improved device, where for the most part with each version of the iphone your getting the same phone over and over again. What did you expect Steve to do, admit Apple was getting there but kicked? In order for Apple to compete the need to grow ad change with times, instead of living off of past sucesses.
5. SpanishDeveloper (Posts: 43; Member since: 25 Aug 2011)

62. Sniggly (Posts: 7182; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
First, are you sure that ilia is a girl? Second, I like Star Wars, as well as Firefly, Stargate, Lord of the Rings, etc., so I wouldn't go knocking those shows/movies. Third, if you're allowed to be an elitist douche with every condescending post, then ilia is allowed to make evil empire comparisons.

ok we cal u sniggly . honestly i dont know what that is other than a softener... so we call people depending on their alias.... I can knock any sho i want.. because i can... simple... and yes I put myself outhere for comments and so does she... back to square one..arent we?...
68. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
"with every condescending post" this made me laugh
73. Sniggly (Posts: 7182; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Yeah, you're allowed to pick on him/her, in a sense, but my point is that you have nothing to pick on. I don't think anyone here actually thinks that Apple *is* an evil empire. We just liken it to one because it's funny (and because there are valid comparisons which can be made).
80. gallitoking (Posts: 4690; Member since: 17 May 2011)
then why you take my comments soo seriosly..??.. soo only Fandroids can be funny but not me or the Miz?... wow.. fail sniggly

Thanks Petra, I don't know for sure either way. In a way, it may be a blessing as I was getting hit with a lot of spam as well. Also I tend to report on things elsewhere other than the Fenland now so perhaps it is for the best.ReplyDelete
Roy sorry this has happened. I have had it also.

Follow us:
Mohawk Valley
It's a season of hope…a season of giving. It's Time Warner Cable's Holiday Hopes & Happenings community giving initiative. Time Warner Cable and YNN are committed to making a difference in our communities. Please join us in warming hearts and enriching the lives of children this holiday season.
There are two ways you can help
Operation TributeWebsiteOperation Tribute is an all volunteer, nonprofit that provides holiday gifts to the children of military families. This year Op Tribute expects to deliver 35,000 gifts to military families throughout New England, New York, New Jersey and Ohio. Operation Tribute is headquartered in Maine, and Time Warner Cable has been a sponsor since 2008. This year, Operation Tribute is increasing its presence in upstate New York. Op Tribute plans to deliver over 12,000 gifts to NY children, primarily in the Fort Drum/Watertown, Albany and Buffalo areas, where there is a heavy concentration of military families.
McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center:WebsiteThe McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending child abuse through intervention and education. They offers a safe, child-friendly process for abused children and their families, supported by a committed, professional team specializing in the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse.
Broome County Child Advocacy CenterWebsiteThe Broome County Child Advocacy Center opened in July 1997. As of December 2007, 1,517 children have come through its doors. That is by no means all children reported to be victims of sexual abuse during this period of time. An estimated 250-300 children are reported annually to be victims of child sexual abuse in Broome County alone. Some of the Center's goals are to provide a safe, child friendly, controlled setting for the investigative interview and reduce the 'system trauma' that can accompany these cases.
Chemung County Child Advocacy CenterWebsiteChemung County Child Advocacy Center makes it possible for a child to go to one location and talk about their abuse. The Center seamlessly integrates and coordinates the services of all of agencies involved in abuse cases: Forensic interviews, medical evaluations, mental health referrals, victim advocacy and support, case review and tracking, information and referral, and community outreach and education.
Oneida County Child Advocacy CenterWebsiteThe CAC handles investigations of child sexual abuse in which the victim is under 17 years of age. The Oneida County CAC initiates approximately 500 investigations each year. Where evidence warrants, criminal arrests are made and or Family Court Petitions are filed. Some of CAC's goals are to reduce the trauma to child victims during the investigative and court processes and also gather better evidence to pursue criminal indictments and prosecutions.

Oil Search Ltd. has completed its share placement to the Papua New Guinea government in the recently announced deal to fund the company's acquisition of a 22.835% stake in retention license PRL15 containing the Elk and Antelope fields in the eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea for $900 million (OGJ Online, Feb. 27, 2014). The placement involved 149.39 million fully paid ordinary shares to the state, giving it a 10% interest in Oil Search.
The deal, which was completed last week, involved the acquisition of 100% of Pac LNG Group (formerly Pacific LNG), which is affiliated with the privately owned Swiss banking firm Clarion Finanz AG.
However the government's involvement has sparked unrest in Papua New Guinea political circles with opposition leader Belden Namah calling on Prime Minister Peter O'Neill to resign, ostensibly because he has committed Papua New Guinea to a $700 million (Aus.) loan to fund its stake in Oil Search.
Flames were fanned this week when O'Neill sacked the leaders of two coalition partners—William Duma and Don Poyle—from their respective posts as petroleum minister and treasurer.
Rumors abound that the pair were sidelined because of their opposition to the further $700 million debt and the move to raise the country's debt ceiling above 35% of gross domestic product.
O'Neill maintained they were causing instability and he himself has assumed the powers of treasurer.
Namah says the move is a blatant push to borrow more. He said the country's debt had doubled to $2.4 billion from $1.2 billion while the debt-to-GDP ratio will rise to 37% from 35%.

Companies added 243,000 jobs last month, while many economists only expected about 150,000 new jobs to be added.
This is the fifth straight month the country added jobs, and analysts welcomed the news.
"This is a very positive employment report from almost any angle," said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Amherst College.
But even with the gains, the job market still faces a long way back to full health.
At least one of President Barack Obama's Republican challengers said Friday's unemployment figures aren't good enough.
"We can do better," GOP front-runner Mitt Romney said. "These numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama's policies have prevented a true economic recovery."
The nation has about 5.6 million fewer jobs than it did when the recession began in late 2007.

What's up with the Adverts!
Monday, 2nd February 2009
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
A few people of have contacted me with regards to the adverts that we have running on the site. I primarily run these adverts because it's by and large our largest source of income for the site apart. It's my plan to only run these adverts on Sundays to keep disruption to minimum. If we don't run these adverts we simply couldn't afford to keep this site going.
As always please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Power Wagon Review
Off-road capability of the Dodge Powerwagon is exceptional. Taking into account that it is a full size pickup, not a nimble little Jeep, it really gets around well with the 4x4, Warn winch from the factory, front and rear electronic lockers, 4:54:1 gears, Hemi power, higher than normal ground clearance, electronic disconecting sway bar and skid protection for the front differenctial and fuel tank
With great power comes great responsibiliy...and lower fuel economy :(. HOWEVER, in my pickup, slowing down just a little and putting in a higher octane fuel has resulted in very noticable milage increases. I can get as good as 16MPG on the highway. For a 3/4 ton gas fuelled truck that is OK considering the size and power.
Power Wagon — Towing is moderate on this truck. Keeping in mind it is not diesel, it should not be held to those towing expecations. With a little tender driving this truck can meet most towing needs of the weekend warriors. However, be prepaired for some MPG shock and don't pass up too many fuel stops as pulling a 5th wheel or like weighted trailers can lower milage into the single digits.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie Mega Cab 4WD Review
the fact it has somewhere around 500 horsepower and it still has the same fuel economy as stock
i do dislike how short the bed is, and how heavy dodge has made it
Amazing Truck, All Around Useful And Incredibly Fun To Play Around With — after the exhaust was installed it gained an amazing sound on startup and running down the road. after the rebuild it gained a deeper note and some amazing performance. it has lost a little reliability, sometimes it does stall but it is still amazing for an everyday vehicle. nicest part is it can blow just about any vehicle away.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie Mega Cab 4WD Review
Looks awesome
I cannot think of 1 thing on this truck worth praising
The Absolute Worst Vehicle I Have Ever Owned — First I had a 2004 Ram 1500 Laramie quadcab 4x4 hemi and it was a sweet ride and when we needed a truck to haul our new 34 foot travel trailer decided a 2008 Ram 2500 Megacab 4x4 would be the answer. Thats where things went bad, first this thing rides like a tank and just about knocks your filling out over bumps (why would any manufacturer spec tire pressures of 60f/70r in a truck that is rated to tow less than their own 1/2 tons)to start this 38 trips to the shop in 23 months. 3 windshield wiper motors, 3 blower motors, replaced intermediate steering shaft twice, all the steering components once and a couple twice and the truck still drives like it's on marbles and just wants to wander around, I got used to that but try that with a 34 foot trailer out back. Cruise control works only when it wants to, replaced all the doors and motors on the heater box and then had to replace the entire heater box assy and I won't even know if it works till it hits -35 this coming winter. Everything in the truck rattles or squeaks and the wind noise about makes you want to cut your ears off. The latest we are waiting for a new front wheel bearing and cruise control buttons the god only knows what will happen. The service managaer has admitted this is the worst truck he has ever seen. It is bad enough that Chrysler Canada extended the bumper to bumper from 60,000Km to the 100,000km of the power train but of course they won't replace the truck. I can't even count the number of hours of lost work taking this thing to the shop. And of couse the sales dept would gladly get me out of it for a measly 10 to 15k more for a 2008 quadcab diesel. Gotta love a truck that less than 2 years old is worth way less than half what you paid for it to trade in. This will be the last Dodge I own and I am stuck with this piece of junk for another few years till the loan gets rightside up. I fear whenthe warranty is gone in abt another month this thing will end up setting in the yard broken and I will still be paying through the nose for it and does Dodge care??? Only in your wildest dreams. I get sick to my stomach every time I get in this thing now and it is my daily driver.

Each library in our system receives hundreds of applications from students each year. As a former Page Supervisor myself, I know that maybe only ten of those applications will be read and only three of those applicants will be called for an interview. Supervisors don't have time to read each and every resume so they flip through the stack of hundreds and choose the handful that made an immediate good impression. If you'd like to know how to stand out from the pack, read on!
1. Know What the Job Entails.
Youths ages 14-17 are employed as student Pages. A Page shelves books, movies and cds in their correct order, meaning that the ability to sort items by author, title and Dewey Decimal number is crucial. If you can answer these questions, you have the sorting skills to be Library Page!
a) Arrange the following entries in numerical order:
b) Arrange these authors' names alphabetically:
Brown, Georges
Browne, George Andrew
Brown, G
2. There Are No Summer Jobs.
It takes a few months to train new hires. If we hired students for the just the summer, they'd leave us just when they were turning pro. Pages work both evening and weekend shifts, usually 6-9 hours per week. So, you may work 3 hours Tuesday night and 6 hours on Saturday. Your supervisor will be flexible with your schedule if you tell her about your extracurricular activites and study habits; however, she needs to make sure that the branch operates efficiently. When returned books don't make it back to the shelves on time, customers can get grumpy!
3. Your Availability.
On our employment application form, there's a grid asking which times you're available to work. Be sure to fill it in and remember: the more you're available, the more employable you are! The Page Supervisor might be looking for someone who can work specific shifts, so if you're only free on Sunday afternoons odds are you won't get a call.
4. Never Have a Parent Drop Off Your Resume.
People who let their parents job-hunt for them lack initiative. It tells us that you don't really want a job, but that Mom really, really wants you to get a job. It's fine for your parents to accompany you, but you should take the application to the Information Desk yourself and ask your own questions. Let Mom and Dad hang back. The world of work is not like the world of school. If, for example, you had to negotiate a shift change with your supervisor or coworker, you'd be expected to do so yourself in a mature way. You can always discuss what you intend to say with your family before attempting it at work, but you deal with your boss and colleagues independently. Diplomacy in the workplace is a life skill you'll start developing at your first job.
5. Go the Extra Mile.
Everyone fills out an application form. Applicants who stand out include a cover letter and resume. A cover letter is a top page with a couple paragraphs you've written about your wondrous suitability. The resume is a listing of your experience and skills. There are lots of ways to format these papers, so do check out some examples.
6. You Do Have Experience
You're so young that no interviewer would expect you to have any real employment experience, but you still need to fill in the work history part of the application. If you babysat, it shows you're trustworthy and can work without direct supervision. What? You helped your school librarian stamp books in grade 6? Well, clearly you've had a long-time interest in library services. Think about any volunteer, extracurricular or academic experiences you've had that can go on a resume.
7. Follow UpWhen you drop off your resume, ask for the Page Supervisor's name and call her within the week to request an interview. If she says she's not hiring at the moment, ask her to please keep you in mind for when there is an opening. Believe me, unless there's a problem with the application (misspellings, poor availability etc) she will put your resume in the "To Be Called" file and you probably will get a call when she's interviewing applicants again. Once you've spoken to the Page Supervisor, do not badger her with phone calls! Don't call 6 times. If she doesn't ring in a month or two, follow up again.
Lastly, should your parent follow up for you? Refer to #4.
The Calgary Public Library is a great place to work! Staff and customers treat Pages well —no one will hassle you because you forgot to give them extra ketchup. And there may be a career in it: if you were a great Page, you may get hired for an adult Support or Customer Service role when you turn 18. I know a few people who started as Pages and, after completing their Library Science degrees, are now Managers. So, maybe 7 years from now you'll be your old boss' boss... Now wouldn't that be sweet?
You always knew your Calgary Public Library card got you wicked stuff IN the library (free books, free programs, free homework help, free music, free space...) but just the other day we found out about an awesome deal your card will get you OUTSIDE the library too!Pages on Kensington offers a 10% discount off books to any teen who shows their Library Card at time of purchase! That's ANY book, with ANY CPL Teen Library Card! We understand that sometimes you just can't wait for 400 people to finish reading the hottest title before you get your hands on it, or that sometimes you love a book so much you just HAVE to have your own copy... when those times hit, head over to Pages!And if you're confused about the part where we said "ANY Teen Library Card", that's probably because you didn't know we now offer several different styles of cards, not to mention the chance to customize your own from photos or artwork (for a pretty penny, but could you ASK for a better cause?)! The best deal in town just got even better!
The boys from Pages love their ya lit!
You know those questions you don't want to ask ANYbody? Or you talk about all the time but your friends seem useless at? Yeah those questions... Sometimes it's much easier not to .. or to browse the Internet or..., well we have just added some Teen Health & Wellness Links to our TeenZone page precisely for that reason!

There are health & wellness and a jobs & career links tabs which both get you to the same place. Or - you can access them through the Information tab under our Booklists on the top left hand side of the Teens page.
Here is a list of what's on the page and how it might be helpful. I encourage you to check out the pages - lots of them have interactive elements like live chat, places to submit your own art and writing and to take quizzes/ games at. Some feature videos, clubs, and courses you can take as well.

And at the end of it when you're done, you could also submit it to YouthInkit!, a Calgary magazine published by and for youth. Happy trails!
The Central library just got more beautiful.
And Speak is the reason why. Speak? you ask. Yes, Speak, I say. Speak is the mesmerizing new show of student photography from Calgary's Sir John Franklin school, which is on public display at Central on the 2nd floor until April 28.
These stunning photographs look like they belong on book covers. There are many different types of photographs – photographs of people, of objects, of landscapes, and of old machinery. Some are action shots, some are stills. Some are realistic, and some are distorted. Some are black and white, and some are in colour. All of them look as though they belong in an art gallery.
One is a mind-bending angle of what turns out to be, with a closer look at the photograph, a chain-link fence. Another is an action shot of a dancer on a rooftop. A third is of a girl's back, with her spine and vertebrae highlighted by what appears to be paint (pictured). Yet another is a sepia-toned image of a boy hugging his knees – this photograph, entitled Bullying Sucks! is a strong visual statement on the emotional impact of bullying. Other photographs are abstract (When I look at Dreams in particular, I question whether it is of paints mixing together in water, or of an alternate world.) Freedom is where you discover is more realistic, yet whimsical –- it is clearly a portrait of a girl with balloons giving a coy look to the camera. And Everyone follows the flow is a beautiful landscape shot, in this case the landscape of a snowy world that encases a river.
You can also read about the photographs in the gallery book, located in our Teen Zone. This is where the young artists give eloquent Artist's Statements that explain their work. Be sure to check out these beautiful images next time you check out books at the Central Library!
