Facts about Licorice
- Breed: Polydactyl/Hemingway
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Licorice!
Licorice's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Licorice and I am your new pet! I would love to find my furr ever home. I love to play, though, I am a little clumsy. You see, I am a "poly" which means I have extra toes. Big feet, little cat, leads to clumsy kitty (who is also quite adorable). I would very much like a home of my own where we can play and take naps.
If you would like to meet me, please visit the PETsMART Adoption Center at 7050 Arroyo Crossing Parkway (Rainbow & I215) or email email@example.com.
About Heaven Can Wait Animal Society
About Our Rescue Group...
Our Vision:Eliminate the senseless killing of over 30,000 cats and dogs annually in the Las Vegas area shelters.
Our Mission:
• Initiate aggressive spay/neuter programs to prevent unwanted litters of cats and dogs in targeted neighborhoods.
• Lead a local coalition effort resulting in effective humane animal laws with strict penalties for non-compliance.
• Educate our community on principles of responsible pet ownership.
• Rescue, rehabilitate and place homeless animals.
Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary does not yet have a facility. Because of this, we can only take in as many dogs and cats as we have space for in foster homes. We are in need of expanding our foster network so we can save more animals' lives. If you are able to be a temporary parent to these homeless babies, please call HCWS today at 227-5555
Over 1000 cats and dogs are adopted to new families annually through HCWS' partnership with area PETsMART stores.
Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary adoption center for CATS is located at the Rainbow & I-215 PETsMART store. Stay tuned! You never know when we may be at a PETsMART near you!
HCWS holds DOG adoptions every Saturday at PETsMART on S. Rainbow and the 215 from 10:00am to 5:00pm
HCWS's Feral Cat Clinic is now a monthly event with huge success! We have spayed and neutered over 4700 cats to date, who were then released back to their outdoor homes. This successful event to help reduce the overpopulation of feral cats in the Las Vegas valley was only possible due to the cooperation of many of Las Vegas' animal welfare groups and individuals who care for feral cat colonies in our valley. Heaven Can Wait would like to send out special thanks to the veterinarians who donate their time and professional skills, as well as PETsMART Charities who granted us $10,000 for the program. This is a massive effort to help reduce the overpopulation of feral cats in our city. Please check back to find out about future updates. To volunteer for future dates, please call HCWS at 702-227-5555.

Does not reduce the water flow, like other filters sometimes do.
- Chlorine-removing
- Easily installed
- Fits standard showers
- Made in USA
How Does the Premium Shower Filter Work?
A patented mixture of zinc and copper called KDF-55, plus crystal Quartz, converts Chlorine into Zinc Chloride. Zinc is considered to be helpful in alleviating dandruff and is used in anti-dandruff shampoos. Unlike carbon, KDF stands up to hot water and is very effective in filtering out Chlorine, odors and dirt particles. KDF possesses strong bacteriostatic character, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, fungus, algae and mildew. The Premium Shower Filter contains 16 oz. of KDF and 2 oz. of crystal Quartz for enhanced performance.
How Long will the Premium Shower Filter Last?
On average, the filter will last about one year. Initially, the filter will remove 98% of the Chlorine. Over time, the removal percentage declines until it is at about 87% after one year. Accordingly, we recommend annual cartridge replacement.
Premium Shower Filter- Installation and Operation
- Unscrew and remove the existing shower head from the shower arm (1/2 in. pipe).
- To minimze water drips, wrap the included teflon tape around the shower arm and the filter (optional).
- Screw the Premium Shower Filter onto the shower arm and screw the shower head onto the Shower Filter. Hand Tighten Only- overtightening can crack the filter housing.
- The Premium Shower Filter is now ready for use. Simply turn on the water as usual. The very first time the Shower Filter is used, the water may take a minute or so to flow through.
- Whenever the Premium Shower Filter is opened to replace the cartridge, the o-rings that keep the filter from leaking should be properly seated in their channels, and rubbed with petroluem jelly to keep them supple. Petroluem jelly can also be used on the threads of the housing.
The filter cartridge is warranted for one year from any manufacturing malfunction. The useful life of the filter cartridge varies depending on water conditions and usage and therefore cannnot be under warranty for usage.
We are proud that the Premium Shower Filter has been designated a Maker's Diet Approved item in renowned author Jordan S. Rubin's New York Times Bestselling book, titled The Maker's Diet. To find out more about The Maker's Diet, go to their website at: www.makersdiet.com.

Bayada Nurses or PSA Healthcare
0Jun 18, '09 by BabyNurseBeckyI have interviews next week with Bayada Nurses and PSA Healthcare and would like any and all feedback anyone has on either of these companies. What is the interview like? Is the company flexible? How is the pay rate? Basically, would you recommend working for them and why or why not? Also, if you work for another pediatric private duty nursing company that you really like, what is the name of that company? I am from Pennsylvania, but would like to receive feedback from anyone who has information.
Thank you SO MUCH for your help!!! -
1Jun 18, '09 by caliotter3Have read positive comments about Bayada on this site. However, PSA has a bad reputation. In my area they were known for having legal problems and hiring brand new nurses with no experience. Have read other negative comments about them. I would put them at the bottom of my list, along with Maxim Healthcare Services.BabyNurseBecky likes this.
1Jun 18, '09 by ArwenEvenstarQuote from rdw17603I have no familiarity with Bayada. PSA has a bad reputation in general around the USA. My personal knowledge: a local PSA nurse we knew was accused of medicaid fraud because PSA improperly took care of the paperwork. She had to hire her own lawyer to fight it! However, I also know another local nurse at PSA who likes it and has no problems so far, BUT the pay is the worst I have ever heard of for RN private duty. She gets $18/hr. (I am in the Southeast USA.)I have interviews next week with Bayada Nurses and PSA Healthcare and would like any and all feedback anyone has on either of these companies. What is the interview like? Is the company flexible? How is the pay rate? Basically, would you recommend working for them and why or why not? Also, if you work for another pediatric private duty nursing company that you really like, what is the name of that company? I am from Pennsylvania, but would like to receive feedback from anyone who has information.
Thank you SO MUCH for your help!!!
I have mixed feelings about Maxim. Basically my experience with them has been good, except for the "office guys" who do the scheduling are VERY incompetent! I worked for a mom and pop agency that had a wonderful personal touch and concern for their nurses, but unfortunately the owners retired and sold to a big national company (Southern Home) and things changed.
Sadly, my interviews at private duty agencies were not even really interviews. Basically, if you had a heartbeat, a RN license, and passed the background check - the only question was "when can you start?". I say sadly, because you are going into private homes and the cases are typically pediatric. There should be more personal assessment of the nurses working these cases! Are they professional? Does their personality match peds? Etc.
In theory, doing private duty through an agency is suppose to be very flexible! Flexibility, in fact, is often promoted as a benefit by these companies. But that has not been my personal experience. The families of these pts can be very "needy" and can freak out when you need time off. Then if your agency is not good at finding back up help to cover you when you need off, the family is left high and dry. The family is ultimately responsible for their loved one, but this can put pressure on the nurse. Both the family and agency can be manipulative - by that I mean begging and pleading you to work. You can find yourself working more than you'd like too unless you have backbone and self-assertiveness. Perhaps this is not typical, but it has been my experience. I have recently switched to prn/perdiem status because I needed flexibility that I was not getting when I was consistently assigned to work one case.BabyNurseBecky likes this. -
1Jun 26, '09 by Elektra6, RNI work for Bayada for 2 years now and love it. They are VERY professional and I was given all the orientation time I needed. The pay is fair. They are good about resolving issues and listening to you too. Try them!anezt2 likes this.
0Jun 26, '09 by freedomfriendMy experience is that Bayada does not pay there nurses what they are owed, promises one thing and then pays another, very bad reputation in Florida market for that, several nurses have quit because of pay issues.
0Jun 26, '09 by SuichiHi rdw17603!
How were your interviews? I have an interview next week with PSA but I'm not sure anymore if I should work for them after I read all the negative posts. My nursing background is NICU but it has been four years since I last worked as a nurse. Please let me know how you decided and if you can give me any information on the interview questions.
Thanks!!! -
0Jun 27, '09 by BabyNurseBeckyI only had the interview at PSA so far. My Bayada interview is being rescheduled because of an audit or something. The PSA interview went well and the manager I met with was very nice. I am just waiting to hear back that my criminal history check came back negative (which it will - it's just a technicality). The test at PSA wasn't bad and they said it was no pressure because it is simply a way to tell where each applicant is with regard to their knowledge.
However, in the meantime, my dream job came open and I interviewed for that position on Friday. I am really hoping I get that one. I would be so happy!! -
0Jun 27, '09 by SuichiThat is wonderful - good luck regarding your dream job!!! I applied at Bayada too but they were looking for nurses with recent nursing experience.
PSA didn't inform me about a test - should I brush up on specific meds and calculations? Any information would be helpful...
Thank you -
0Jun 28, '09 by BabyNurseBeckyMy test didn't have any math questions. Honestly, the questions were, for the most part, common sense. There were matching and true and false. There were a few that threw me, but overall, they really weren't bad. I have been out of nursing for more than a year and didn't find them all that challenging. Good luck!!
0Jul 1, '09 by SuichiI had my Interview on Monday with PSA (don't ask me where the time went but the whole Interview process took 2 1/2 hours). You were right about the test but I did have some medication and calculation questions. They were all very friendly and I too have to wait now for my Criminal Background Check. I also got an offer from another company but I am very torn because neither one of them is actually my dream job right now. I'll keep you posted!
Any updates on your job search?

NBC, a public access channel for the city of Boise, really wants you to watch its new show called The Blacklist. So, they're going where the kids are, posting what is one of the first-ever television show teaser trailers on Vine.
Does a platform based on creating six-second clips accurately portray an hour-long show full of explosions, dangerous traffic situations, and James Spader in a suit? No, because regardless of how little you see of this show's trailer, it looks like everything else on TV that isn't Veep: terrible. Still, NBC gets social media.
This is Hollywood's latest from to harness whatever promotional power a six second video clip can offer. In March, 20th Century Fox released a teaser trailer for Hugh Jackman rom-com The Wolverine.
Perhaps in the future, all of NBC's shows should just be six seconds long.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Princess!
Facts about Princess
- Breed: Maltese Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Princess's Info...
I am good with kids and good with dogs.
Princess is a very loving and affectionate puppy.
She was rescued by Oz Animal Rescue as a result of her human family not having enough time to devote to a new puppy. She is approximately 6 months old and weighs 12 pounds.
Princess is very much a puppy and is still working on her house-training skills. She is currently being crate trained while with her foster family.
Princess loves to play with children, dogs and water! Boy does she love the water! If you have a pool, she will be in it!! Perhaps she was a dolphin in her previous life??
Princess needs to find a home with lots of love and patience. Her previous home did not have the time to invest in her, so all of her skills are not quite up to par. Princess is barking at me while I type this...she wants to gently remind all of us that she is only 6 months old, and what do we expect?? Give her some time, and she will be the perfect dog!
If you feel like you have the love and patience that Princess needs, and are looking to add an adorable, sweet and loving fur baby to your family, please contact us immediately.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Princess, a chandler Maltese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maltese for sale in chandler, or seeking a Maltese puppy from a breeder in chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maltese breeders who help with Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hey guys, I'm Nina Dobrev, and welcome to my Seventeen Magazine Cover Shoot. The whole theme of the shoot was sweaters and prints and colors and texture. It's the Fall issue, and it's about keeping warm and comfy and still looking cute and fun and fresh. Every time you kinda get ready for an event it's like you're taking a fashion risk. I try to step up out of my comfort zone and try new things. It's a way of expressing yourself. It's like acting; you're putting on character in a role. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, it's a coming-of-age story, but it's not like any other that we've seen. And it's dark, but everybody has dark periods and light periods. And that's kinda what life is about how, you deal with those dark periods and how will you come through on the other side. Now that Elena is a Vampire, the whole dynamic of the show is gonna change. It's gonna be interesting to see her kinda transition from girl to woman, and it's gonna be interesting to see how she adapts. I really like double sweaters especially the cashmere ones, personally, because I love cashmere. I'm-- I have a little bit of addiction-obsession. I love layering things on, especially scarves. I love accessorizing with different colors of scarves and warming your neck and [unknown] to hide behind something. When I wanna feel more confident-- honestly, as soon as you've thrown a pair of heels, your posture and your demeanor changes and you just feel a little funkier and sexier.

Strong evidence suggests that women often shared their medical knowledge. Some women kept notebooks in which they included recipes from their friends. Sometimes these books were passed down through several generations of women who would add more recipes from their own experience. Other evidence of women's networks comes from printed recipe books, which often reproduce remedies that had appeared in women's private recipe books (called "receipt books"in the period). And of course, other women sometimes turned around and copied these printed remedies into their own recipe books. The result was an invaluable accumulation of medical insight and experience.
In Jane Dawson's cookbook, pictured above, many recipes are followed by the name of a woman -- Mrs. Warton, Mrs. Pelham, etc. -- demonstrating both that Jane Dawson copied or was given these recipes by another woman and that another woman had successfully used the remedy. In one dramatic example, she writes that Mrs. Warton "saved a woma[n]s life with this that was given over for dead."

text: So I've been collecting this game for a while now, but unfortunately I don't get to play it that often. Honestly, I've probably played less than a dozen games all together so far. I have a couple of friends that are interested in learning though, and learning to play using Core set decks is simple enough. My problem right now though, is figuring out how to build several decks that are at least somewhat balanced with each other, while still being diverse enough to keep things interesting. My goal is to put together decks that I won't have to deconstruct, since they'll all be built from my card pool. I've seen people talk about putting together a set of mono-faction decks, or a set of dual-faction decks. I would definitely prefer dual-faction, but with my limited experience with the game so far, it's been difficult for me to figure out how well some of the factions would mesh. I'm actually planning on doing 8 dual-faction decks total, with 4 being faction pairs on the same "side", ie; 2 human factions together or 2 Mythos factions. The human factions are pretty simple, Agency/Misk., likely with an investigator theme, and Syndicate/Order, board control. The Mythos factions are harder for me to figure out though, mainly Shub. What are the best pairings for the Mythos factions? Cthulhu/Hastur is strong, but do Shub and Yog play well together? What about the cross-faction pairings? Cthulhu/Agency would probably just be too overwhelming for what I'm trying to do. Miskatonic/Shub rush seems fun. Order/Yog seems like a pairing that would be great for combos. That leaves Agency/Hastur and Syndicate/Cthulhu. Are either of these doable? Or should I do entirely different pairings? Right now my collection consists of everything that's been released in the 3x format, plus 3 Core sets and 3x of SoA, so the only cards I don't have access to are things from the Dreamlands cycle.

Vote for Steve Allen = Vote for Mayor Haddix
(To Steve Allen, running against Incumbent Eric Imker, Peachtree City Council, Post 1)
Hello Steve:
I have read both of your "Letters to the Editor" in The Citizen announcing your candidacy. The only consistent theme you seem to have is that you disagree with anything Imker does or wants to do that is in opposition of Peachtree City's Mayor, Don Haddix. In your original announcement for running (Steve Allen: Why I'm Running Against Eric Imker for City Council, The Citizen, 9/13/11), three of your six bullet points specifically state Imker's opposition to the Mayor as your reasoning for opposing him, and at least one other bullet (DAPC) has the same implication written all over it. In the comments on these blogs to your letter, several people surmised that Haddix actually penned it.
You may have been convinced by Haddix that he has a swell of support and you could ride his coattails to victory. I suggest you watch the citizen response portion of the censure and read the editorials over the past few months in the papers. Even councilman-elect George Dienhart admitted in a recent editorial that the mayor is a loose cannon and is not re-electable (Peachtree City Needs Positive Leadership, Fayette County News, 7/23/11).
"I don't believe he is re-electable at this point. To continue to draw attention to the Mayor's PR activities will only serve to highlight a governmental loose cannon to businesses that want to make Peachtree City their home. Let the electorate do its job. Let the voters fire the mayor when his term is up." George goes on to say, "When Mayor Haddix causes controversy, the business' that are considering a move to our city may start to look elsewhere."
Tell me Steve, how do your ideas of sustaining existing business and attracting new companies to Peachtree City align with the counter-productive activities and perception of our mayor? If new revenue growth through existing and new business is truly your goal, it can only be done in step with opposition to Haddix's continued dismantlement of our city's reputation and aggravation to the people and groups whose job it is to bring in that new business. Either you want new business for our city and therefore, denounce the activities of the mayor that prevent it, or you support the Mayor and his actions and accept the fact that, along with that support, goes the opportunity to attract new business. You can't have it both ways.
You continue to call Eric down on the tax issue, so let's get a look at the best unbiased view we have going right now, the editor of this paper, Mr. Cal Beverly. I happen to respect Cal and what he writes, you may feel differently. Cal says what he means, doesn't mince words, and never seems to let the local politicians sway his opinion. So what did Cal say about Imker and his taking on the Mayor on the budget and tax issues?
"I disagree with Mayor Don Haddix that furloughs should be off the table in Peachtree City. He says the city is not like a private business, mainly because there are "citizen demands."
"Four cheers to Councilman Eric Imker for pointing out the obvious: The emperor has no clothes. The money ain't there, and it likely ain't gonna be there for several years to come. Mr. Imker, you are absolutely right to confront the status quo in local government."
"I agree completely with Mr. Imker: It's time to deal with reality. Private sector taxpayers are a lot worse off than almost all government employees at all levels."
Steve, you say the things you think the people want to hear, like running the government like a business, yet you denounce the one guy who has been trying to do just that (Imker) while swooning at the mere thought of the Mayor who states that the city cannot be run like a private business. You need to make a decision Steve and we as the citizens of the city are waiting to hear it. Either firmly distance yourself from the Mayor by calling him on his actions and run on a promise to oppose the shenanigan he continues with that are running this city in the ground or go ahead and get your election signs printed with a picture on the front of you and Donnie holding hands. Which is it going to be?
Finally let me say this, as I know you read these blogs (you admitted as much in your email to me). Why do you think that most of the "citizens" who respond in support of the mayor here hide behind their monikers and never validate who they are, while most of those who oppose the mayor and/or support Eric Imker don't mind showing their real names? Is it possible that all of these supporters that come out of the woodwork privately on these blogs may be one in the same? Perhaps Haddix himself? His wife? I'm just asking. Remember, these people can't use their multiple monikers at the voting booth.
Mike LaTella
Don't worry about a thing Mad dog, Allen is no longer a factor in this election. Silly tactics, probably encouraged by the little mayor and truly unworkable. Steve Allen will be in the small club with Anna Marie Baker, Carole Rowland, her son Scott, Phil somebody and of course Gary Rower.
I hope you are right unless of course, 500 votes is enough to win. I've heard only 20% of registered voters show up in "local only" elections. It would be a shame if the citizens elect someone who's only platform is love for a failing and unpopular Mayor.
Mad Dog? I like it! I used to drink that stuff when I was a kid. Great aperitif to a fine dinner at Waffle House at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
and that is 20% of registered voters and only about half of eligible are registered. I remember one election - maybe the one that gave us the brownclown, where 9% was the turnout.
My 500 votes is based on Imker getting about 1500 and that would be a huge turnout for our apathetic little city.
Now next year with Congress and President on the ballot, turnout will be much better and we will get to vote for Haddix's replacement - choosing from Learnard, Sussburg, Imker, Rowland. Mike King and Scott Bradshaw and Dar Thompson should be on that list, but won't be.
And just in case you were wondering, of course I can still vote - and do. I've even worked at the polls.
Now that is fun to think about... replacing Haddix. I don't know Dar or Rowland well, but Learnard, King, Bradshaw, Imker, Sussburg would all be great candidates.
any of them would be so much better than what we have now that it almost doesn't matter which one. I would also add Todd Strickland to that list. Russ Heil as well. The only mystery will be can Haddix's poor performance draw more opponents than Brown did at the end of his first and only term. The record is 6. I don't think that can be beaten, but we shall see.
Agreed. You could probably put the dog catcher up against Haddix and he would win. Let's just hope Brown doesn't try to get back in. What about you RWM? You seem to have your hands around the issues.
Sorry, but that's the way it is.
I thought it was almost a requirement to be dead from the neck up to run?
BTW, I'm looking at a G37 and I really like it except for headroom. Any comments? Ideas?
Headroom has always been an issue with the G series. I'm 6'2" and fit into mine nicely with the seat down and slanted back just a little. Have you driven one yet? Consumer Reports gives the car high marks. You might want to read their review. I think you'll be impressed with the power and handling. I describe the G coupe as an adult sports car. Not like Mustangs and Camaros that are for the kids. One day after I win the lottery I'm going to upgrade to a G37 myself.
Like you, I am 6'2" and am fine once I am inside. Getting in I bump my head - getting out no problem. I am almost willing to overlook all that because of how it drives and handles. Wonderful car. Reminds me of a BMW 635 i once had.
What about brain dead? Seems we have some of that not only running but already elected!

LONDON (AP) -- The actor who plays Martin Luther King in "Selma" is speaking about the racial controversy over fellow British actor Benedict Cumberbatch. David Oyelowo (oh-YEL'-oh-woh) says people really shouldn't be concerned that Cumberbatch used the outdated term "colored" to describe black actors. Oyelowo notes these days in the U.S., minorities are often referred to as "people of color" -- and there's really no difference between the terms. He also says people should look beyond the word Cumberbatch used -- and hear his message: that there are more opportunities for minority actors in the U.S. than there are in the U.K. Both actors say that needs to change.
David Oyelowo says he doesn't think fellow British actor Benedict Cumberbatch should be criticized for his use of the word "colored" in a discussion about Hollywood diversity.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- What did she do -- and where did she do it? Those are questions a prosecutor is asking about Lindsay Lohan's community service. And if it turns out Lohan skimped on her court-ordered chores, the prosecutor says he'll try to have her tossed in jail. Santa Monica, California, Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White's questions prompted a judge to schedule a hearing to look into the matter. Among other things, White claims some of Lohan's "service" was done in London -- while the actress was starring in a play. He says having Lohan doing a meet-and-greet with fans isn't what the court had in mind.
AP Entertainment Editor Oscar Wells Gabriel reports a prosecutor in Santa Monica, California is questioning whether Lindsay Lohan really did the kind of community service she was supposed to.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Bernie Mac's widow has dropped a wrongful death lawsuit against his Chicago doctor. Rhonda McCullough claims a dermatologist -- Rene Earles -- failed to notice her husband was having respiratory problems in the weeks before he died in 2008. Bernie Mac had sacroidosis (sahr-coy-DOH'-sis) and died of pneumonia. An attorney for the comedian's widow says the lawsuit can be refiled after some "internal issues" are fixed. But an attorney for the doctor tells the Chicago Tribune the suit was dismissed because there's "no legitimate case" against the doctor.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The movie is out -- and is a box office hit. But that doesn't mean the war of words has ended over the hero of "American Sniper" and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. Ventura is a former Navy SEAL -- and won a $1.8 million in a defamation suit against the estate of Chris Kyle, the sniper portrayed in the movie. Ventura has challenged an account in the shooter's book claiming he punched Ventura out at a bar in 2006. Ventura says he won't see the film because he considers the deceased Kyle a liar -- and "there is no honor in lying."
NEW YORK (AP) -- Remember all the talk about a remake of "Ghostbusters" with a female cast? It's closer to reality, now that a cast has been announced. Starring in the new version will be Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Production is to begin later this year and the director says the movie will be released in July of 2016.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Here's the latest in the case against those who tried to make a movie about singer Gregg Allman. Prosecutors have said they never promised immunity to a filmmaker indicted in the case. Hillary Schwartz was working on "Midnight Rider" last February when a camera assistant was struck by a train during filming. A lawyer for Schwartz claims his client was promised immunity in return for an interview with prosecutors. But prosecutors say there was no deal. Georgia authorities say the crew was on the tracks without permission. Work on the film has since stopped.
ATLANTA (AP) -- An arrest for a former cast member of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." Police in Atlanta say Benzino was arrested at the city's airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on bag.

This world is sure to have many dog lovers; the kinds of people who have dogs as a part of their everyday lives. Dogs play with us, walk with us, keep us company, protect us; we let them into our houses, even up onto our beds, and most of all we see them as our friends (if not family!).
Unfortunately, there are other types of people in this world. People who intentionally injure dogs and other animals, just for entertainment; pitting them against each other to fight to the death. Some people even go beyond that, taking the losers that survive those matches of cruelty and turning them into bait dogs so their best fighters can practice on them, or even killing the losers themselves by methods of hanging, drowning, or electrocution. Do these sound like animal lovers? Most certainly not!
How would you feel if a convicted dog fighter, who has even confessed to killing dogs himself, owned another dog in his lifetime? This is the latest news in the life of NFL star Michael Vick. Many would consider this to be outrageous.
Being an animal lover myself, I was equally appalled and outraged with the public in 2007 upon hearing these acts of cruelty. I fill with anger when I hear of any acts of animal cruelty because no animal deserves to be treated in such ways! I do agree that convicted persons of animal cruelty should never be allowed to own another animal because of the likely chance of being a repeat offender.
However, would you agree with depriving a child of the joys of growing up with a pet? Deprive them of the advantages of learning the responsibility of owning a pet, learning respect and love for animals, and the joy of having a loyal friend for life?
Even though Vick should never be allowed to own another animal in his lifetime, it wouldn't be fair that his children should suffer the same punishment since they were not involved in these heinous acts. As hard as this may be, maybe the Vick family should have a second chance with a family dog, for the children's sake. Maybe his children can learn to love animals and learn from their father's mistakes.
Even if Vick has claimed to change his ways, this is not to go unnoticed. Putting an animal back into the hands of an abuser should not be taken lightly. I find it vital that local animal cruelty investigators stay on top of the Vick family's animal affairs. If there is ever another inkling of animal abuse, immediate intervention needs to be made, and the only way to know is for the situation to be monitored. I hope that Vick really did change his ways and can prove that it is possible for people to get a second chance, because there will be no third chance.

Cauliflower does not usually develop side shoots, therefore most people will dig up the whole plant after harvesting the heads. Put the dug up plants in your compost pile, but if there is any sign of disease on the plants dispose of them via other means ie Not via your compost pile. |

A Feature Selection Methodology for Steganalysis AbstractThis paper presents a methodology to select features before training a classifier based on Support Vector Machines (SVM). In this study 23 features presented in [1] are analysed. A feature ranking is performed using a fast classifier called K-Nearest-Neighbours combined with a forward selection. The result of the feature selection is afterward tested on SVM to select the optimal number of features.

Adding to swift/SV's reply, as he said, the laws don't work like that, and we /really/ don't want to go there, even if we /might/ /arguably/ be able to get away with it for some or all of the docs. And addressing the "last time there was an issue of this sort" question, there was a bit (well, potentially more than a bit, but it was resolved before it went nuclear) of a hubbub around a document with some major work by a former dev, some years ago. In that case, it was simply that he had been taken out of the "authors" list at the top/side, while still credited in a footnote along with all the other contributors, the reasoning behind the action being that for layout reasons, it made more sense to put the current primary contact up at the top, with the rest of the contributors still acknowledged but that acknowledgment moved elsewhere. I believe the issue was resolved by essentially reverting the change. But given the hubbub that caused when it was simply moving a name around... no, we don't want to TOUCH the whole license change without explicit permission thing, and I'd argue, rightly so. As ESR pointed out quite effectively in his cathedral and the bazaar series of essays and book, the FLOSS community functions as a meritocratic gifting society, with the primary currency being respect based on acknowledge contributions to the community, and anything that messes with that acknowledgment and respect is, in effect, either robbery or community currency manipulation. For some people, therefore, changing such things without direct permission is akin to robbing them at gunpoint, not a small matter, indeed, and even if you believe the ESR stuff is all a bunch of hooey, recognizing the value some others in the community place on it can in practice save quite some community controversy at best, or ultimately, legal trouble if it goes nuclear!

Welcome from the Chairman
Can-do businesses and can-do people. It's what makes Lufkin and Angelina County great, and what has helped us not only weather the economic downturn, but bloom in spite of it! Yes, we have lost manufacturing jobs. Yet, what I see is excitement about a revitalized downtown, a filled industrial park, new businesses and retirees moving to town! One segment of the Lufkin Micropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) economy in particular — healthcare — has seen an incredible 36.3% increase in employment over the last 11 years, compared to 0.9% increase in overall MSA employment for the same time period. The diversity of our economy is our strength.
Our mission at the Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce is "to continuously improve the economic prosperity, the business environment and the quality of life in Angelina County." With our strong relationship with the City of Lufkin, we will continue to support economic development activities. Our unique relationship with our school superintendents continues to be the foundation of support for strong, local, independent school districts. Our legislative ties ensure that our voice is heard in Austin and in Washington.
We know that Angelina County is a great place to live, work, and retire. We are the retail and healthcare hub of Deep East Texas. Your membership in the Chamber and your active involvement in the many Chamber events and activities helps us spread that message to others and guarantees a strong and vibrant future for Lufkin and Angelina County.

Brigitte McReynolds was born in Rosenheim, Germany and studied in Munich and Italy. She moved to California in 1989 and immersed herself in painting and printmaking. She lives in Sonoma with her husband and daughter and returns to Germany and Italy every year to continue her work in painting and monotype. McReynolds brings a fresh approach to figuration with her bright palette and fluid, sensual drawing line. Working from abstraction, creating broad, layered areas of color, McReynolds finds her figures in the process of painting. They begin to develop personalities of their own. Her figures are decidedly feminine and their powers transform the space. McReynolds is a disciplined painter who loves her materials. She has honed her instincts over many years of exploration and arrived at a place where she is confident in taking risks and letting the works resolve themselves.
From her Artist Statement:
My work is a continuous investigation of abstraction and the exploration of the human form. It is A visual diary, a "paper trail" of a process, spontaneous yet deliberate, personal yet universal. Working both figurative and abstract is what I love to do. When I work on a theme, like stripes for example, I explore it in oil, acrylic and encaustic, working figurative and abstract until it exhausts itself, or leads to another theme. I apply what I've learned, from working with shapes, forms and lines in my abstract paintings, to find the simplicity that is needed for abstracting a figure. Similarly, my abstract work profits from my figurative experience.

For the first time in several years, Hanna-Barbera produced new 30-minute misadventures of the complete Flintstone and Rubble families in 1979's The New Fred and Barney Show. The early 70's The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show had kept the gang in the limelight, but the Archies-influenced musical shenanigans (featuring a teenage Pebbles and Bamm Bamm in a bubblegum pop group) bore little resemblance to the original Flintstones.
The New Fred and Barney Show put the Flintstone and Rubble offspring back where they began, as adorable babies. In fact, aside from the slightly altered animation and Fred's new voice (Alan Reed had passed away in 1977), The New Fred and Barney Show felt a lot more like the original Flintstones show than any other incarnation. Fred still dreamed up zany schemes, Barney still went along and Wilma and Betty still came to the rescue when the schemes backfired.
Even still, The New Fred and Barney Show was still clearly a child of the 70's. In addition to the Scooby-Doo-esque adventures with witches and werewolves, the show spoofed such contemporary fads as C.B. radio and the physical fitness craze.
Ten new episodes of The New Fred and Barney Show mixed with 13 classic Flintstones episodes to fill out the early 1979 show. That fall, the gang had a brand new companion segment, The Thing. The new Fred and Barney Meet The Thing show showcased seven brand-new Fred and Barney episodes, along with the adventures of rocky orange Fantastic Four strongman The Thing (with a very different origin story).
In December of that year, yet another classic character joined the show, forming the 90-minute Fred and Barney Meet The Shmoo. The unlikely cartoon threesome banded together through the end of 1980, when the entire show was overhauled into another 90-minute extravaganza, The Flintstones Comedy Show.
The layout artist identified as "Jose Rivera in the credits probably is Tony Rivera. The animators identified as "Tony Hutten" and "William Lokey" probably are Bill Hutten and Hicks Lokey, respectively.
When this show was originally on NBC from February to September 1979, was the ending Hanna-Barbera logo the "Rainbow Hanna-Barbera" (1978 version, smaller Hanna-Barbera logo as opposed to the original 1974 version in which said logo was larger).
When this show became part of the Fred and Barney Meet The Thing hour-long block starting September 22, 1979, were these particular credits combined with the production credits related to Hanna-Barbera's The Thing as a single sequence?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lucy!
Facts about Lucy
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lucy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Do you want a snuggle cat? Lucy is your girl! She gets along beautifully with her foster cats and loves to snuggle them for an afternoon nap. She also loves attention from her people and will purr you to sleep. She is really a great girl who deserves the best home! Lucy's adoption fee is $150.
Other Pets at Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lucy, a Baltimore Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Baltimore, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in Baltimore.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Baltimore already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Baltimore breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Baltimore paves the way for another one to be saved.

Department of Psychology
Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Psychology › News Events and Publications › News › Professor Finds that Repeated Episodes of Major Depression Can Lead to Memory Loss
Tuesday, November 30, 1999
A study of patients hospitalized for major depression finds that people with recurrent episodes of this mental illness suffer significant memory loss, prompting questions about the ability of such individuals to function normally after their discharge, according to study leader Michael Basso, a psychology professor at The University of Tulsa.
"Because of forgetfulness, recurrently depressed individuals may have difficulty attending to their daily affairs in an effective manner," says Basso.
Memory tests were administered to 66 patients whose primary diagnosis was major depression. For 20 of these patients, it was the first time they had been hospitalized for the condition, and for 46 it represented a recurrent episode.
Basso says memory abilities were near the norm for the single-episode group, but for those with recurrent episodes, memory was far worse than what would normally be expected.
To evaluate memory function, subjects were read 16 words from a simulated grocery store shopping list and then were asked to recall as many of the words as possible. The recurrently depressed individuals remembered fewer words than the patients who were depressed for the first time.
According to Basso, the findings imply that memory problems may increase during the course of the illness. The only difference in personal characteristics between the two groups was whether individuals had a history of a single episode of major depression or two or more episodes. Basso says the data suggest that as a person has numerous depressed episodes, memory dysfunction may worsen.
Results of the study were published in the October 1999 issue of the journal "Neuropsychology." The article, "Relative Memory Deficits in Recurrent Versus First-Episode Major Depression," was written by Basso and Robert A. Bornstein of The Ohio State University Medical Center.
Basso says a second study of 43 patients hospitalized for depression, including 41 experiencing a recurrent episode, found that as the number of years increased since the person's first hospitalization, memory loss worsened. This study was conducted at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with Paul Marshall, a clinical neuropsychologist at the center. Results were presented at the annual meeting of the International Neuropsychological Society in Boston in February.
Basso notes that memory loss is one of the most common complaints of people affected by depression. He also says that one of the best predictors of who will sustain an episode of major depression is a previous episode.
Major depression often leads to severe despair and hopelessness, causing the person to lose interest in life. The symptoms affect one's ability to work, sleep, eat and enjoy pleasurable activities. The American Psychiatric Association says up to 15 percent of people with major depression die by suicide.
The APA says studies have found that the prevalence of major depression in adults in community samples has varied from 5 to 9 percent for women and 2 to 3 percent for men. The National Institutes of Mental Health says more than 19 million adults in the United States will suffer from a depressive illness, including major depression, this year.
Basso is a clinical neuropsychologist whose research involves cognitive function in patients with psychiatric disorders, immune disorders and multiple sclerosis.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
The European Court of Human Rights doesn't necessarily seem to think so. New York Times columnist Linda Greenhouse takes a look at the parallels between the Court's decision and US law. Check out Abortion Takes Flight.
Oh, and Happy New Year!
Two news items:
First, Reuters reports that the European Court of Human Rights fined Russia over $40,000 for banning gay parades.
The judgment is a limited victory for the humanitarian organizations supporting gay rights because the Court has no jurisdiction to force Russia to allow the parades to commence. The Court may hear cases and fine a country held in violation of international law. Therefore, Moscow will suffer the small fine and international criticism, but there is no guarantee that the Court's judgment will result in Change in Moscow's practices.
Second, you might be interested in the added tension as the UN Security Council meets to discuss Iran's nuclear program next month because Iran has announced the trial of the three American hikers in Iranian custody for alleged "espionage and illegal entry" into Iranian territory. [All three will be tried even though one was previously released on bail.] The trial is set to begin on November 6. The New York Times covers the story.
Several weeks ago, I began examining the international community's responsibility to respect free expression under international law. I examined guarantees provided by the United Nations, but a nation's responsibilities extend beyond UN charters and conventions.
Obviously, free expression is guaranteed under domestic constitutions ranging from the United States and United Kingdom to former Soviet controlled nations such as the Republic of Uzbekistan (for example, see the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, part three, chapter fifteen).
Further, many European countries, including Russia, are signatories to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The charter protects free speech, and signatories have agreed to adjudicate such human rights violations before the Court.
The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms guarantees the freedom of expression. Article 10 (1) states, "everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
However, for an issue to reach the ECHR, it must first be exhausted in the host nation's legal system. Further, if a nation is found to violate the Convention, the penalty is generally a fine, which often is not substantial enough to deter future violations.
Thus, while the ECHR theoretically protects free expression, in reality, it offers little protection in countries where the government systematically tramples their citizen's fundamental rights. This is especially a problem in countries like Russia where the government targets diverse opinions and the media.
The next entry in this series will focus on Russia, examining the country's domestic and international responsibility to protect free expression as well as how they have failed to live up to the standard.
With British Parliamentary elections looming, the UK has gone full force towards addressing defamation "success fee" reform.
England's stringent libel law places the burden of proof on the defendant, making British courts a desirable venue for defamation plaintiffs. Currently, solicitors may recover up to 100% of a client's earnings in a successful "no win no fee" defamation case. Critics of the current rules say the burden and fee rules chill free speech by journalists and media outlets. Reformed rules offered by UK Justice Secretary Jack Straw will cut attorney fees to 10%. According to the Telegraph:
Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, said this has meant that legal bills had spiraled out of control", deterring journalists and writers from publishing articles which are in the public interest, or forcing them to settle rather than defend defamation actions.
Both houses of Parliament must approve the rules.
There is opposition in Parliament, including a procedural threat by Lord Michael Martin. [Here the Telegraph explains Lord Martin's personal experience with Britain's defamation law.]
Further, many legal groups oppose the reforms and are preparing legal challenges. They claim that current defamation laws do not infringe free speech but allow claimants to bring cases when they would ordinarily not have the resources to do so. They argue that the push to reform was instigated by politicians attempting to gain favor with the media.
England's strict defamation laws place an undue on journalists, but can meaningful defamation reform happen in midst of the UK's political system? The timing seems opportunistic. Stay tuned…
Also, Catherine Baksi provides an interesting take on the reform process in the Law Society Gazette blog.

What is the employment status of an employee on secondment?
[Download this article as a pdf]
In a typical secondment an employee will be seconded by their employer ("A") to a third party ("B"). The usual intention is that the employee will remain employed by A for the duration of the secondment, and will return to A's business at the end of the period of secondment. In addition, the employee usually continues to be paid by A, and continuity of employment with A remains unaltered.
However, an interesting secondment issue has recently been considered in the case of Fitton v City of Edinburgh Council. In this case the question arose as to whether the Claimant was employed by the Council or the Edinburgh Lifelong Partnership ("ELLP") to which she had been seconded.
The Claimant advanced constructive dismissal and sex discrimination claims against the Council when her employment with ELLP terminated. The Employment Appeal Tribunal held that the Claimant was in fact employed by ELLP, and not the Council, despite the fact that she was on secondment from the Council.
The reason for doing so was that, upon a proper examination of the relationship between the parties, it was clear that the Council was not the Claimant's employer at the relevant time. The Claimant had relinquished her role with the Council, and was thereafter managed and controlled by ELLP. She was not therefore the Council's employee.
This case is a little unusual in that the nature of the secondment was such that the Claimant retained less contact with the original employer that would usually be expected. As a result, her employer was held to be ELLP.
Points to consider with secondments
When seconding staff there are a number of issues to consider, some of which are summarised below:
- Who is to be the employer during the secondment?
- If there is a risk that the secondee company could be the employer will that company require an indemnity from the original employer to cover claims consequential upon termination of employment at the end of the secondment?
- Similarly, who is liable for claims arising out of the actions of the secondee company and their staff? Should the original employer be indemnified?
- Who controls the secondee day to day?
- How integrated is the secondee to be to the secondee company's business? This will impact upon employment status.
- Is continuity of employment to be broken?
- Have the secondment terms been agreed in writing between the original employer and the employee, and also as between the original employer and the secondee company?
- Is there a risk of a TUPE upon the secondment? If so, that will mean that consultation obligations will apply.
- Will the secondee employer require the employee to undertake a wider range of duties than are set out in the employment contract? If so, this should be recorded in writing.
- Who will pay the employee's salary?
- Who is liable for any acts or omissions of the employee?
- What will happen at the end of the secondment? Will the employee return to the original employer, and if so on what basis?
We can help !
We can help employers on both sides of the secondment arrangement in the drafting of the relevant documents and advising on associated risks.

For a hobby, I'm into photography. I thoroughly enjoy baking, but have to admit, I have two left hands when it comes to decorating cakes! I also do a bit of knitting (beginner's stage) and reading. Stephen King and Dean Koontz are my all time favourite authors, and, of course, LOVE Calvin and Hobbes (does it show??!!)
I search for recipes that carry ingredients I can get hold of locally (or I have stocked in my cupboard!). Recipes I have posted are ALL tried and tested and have been enjoyed by all! So, I hope you and your family will enjoy as well!
My rating system is fairly simple. Since I only pick recipes that I know my family will enjoy (looking at the list of ingredients), it's either 5 or 4 stars, I do not go any lower. I may sometimes do a bit of tweaking but that is only due to my family's tastes. If I do have problems with a recipe or if it didn't turn out the way it should have done, then I just leave a comment without any rating.
DETEST offal, they are awful! (love saying that!!), cauliflower, goats' cheese, stilton cheese (or any bleu cheese), not too keen on sushi either, not a big fan of red meat. Don't like cooked raisins.
Thai is #1 favourite, followed closely by Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Italian too!
LOVE aubergines, okras and ANYTHING to do with potatoes!
Love seafood but I am not too fond of fish that taste fishy, if that makes any sense!
I am allergic to lobsters. :(
