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 Bear (& Jordan)!
Facts about Bear (& Jordan)
- Breed: American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bear (& Jordan)'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bear is an energetic and playful 4 year old pittie, staffie, or am bully mix. He is very sad right now because his human mama passed away in a motorcycle accident a couple of weeks ago. His human auntie is taking care of him and his sister, Jordan, but the house is too full and the situation is overwhelming so they all need some help.
We would love to give these two dogs a new home together but the new home part is most important and they will adjust over time with guidance and support in a new home. As you can see in the pics, Bear is a little overweight just now so an active home would be great so he can get back to a healthier, leaner condition.
Ideally, Bear would be in a home with another dog as he is used to having a four-legged, tail-wagging buddy by his side.
Bear is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.
THE DOGS SHOWN ON THE SITE ARE IN FOSTERCARE - WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER TO VISIT. EMAIL is the best way to reach us.
We are a volunteer run, very small organization - so please be patient when waiting for a response, but feel free to check back in if you haven't heard from us in a day or so - thank you so much for considering a rescued pooch!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bear (& Jordan), a Sacramento American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier for sale in Sacramento, or seeking a American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Sacramento.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier breeders who help with American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sacramento paves the way for another one to be saved.

Breaking the deadlock

Although the first ODI ended with honours even on paper, the scales would be uneven as far as the take-away from the drawn game is concerned. The general belief is that Australia had the game sealed, and the Indians were ripe for the picking. But 2.4 overs and 9 runs tell few stories. Besides, psychological advantages are often lost on the mercurial Indians.
Batting strengths
The Australian batting looks ominous, more on account of the out-of-form players rather than those in form. Gilchrist and Symonds haven't had a big, all-destroying, match-winning innings that they are capable of for a while now, and they aren't the kind of batsmen who would lie low for too long. So a burst from one of them, in addition to the rich vein of form shown by the middle order could add up to a fair bit of trouble for the Indians.
The impact of the strong Australian batting performance on Saturday is seen by the increase in their team average, which shoots up from 38 as it stood before the Banglore match to 41.19 now, a good six points more than that of the Indians, at 35.78. India's key hope would rest with digging deeper into the hole left by the absence of Ponting (43.31) and Hussey (58.90), by getting Hopes and Haddin early (assuming Ponting doesn't play, which may or may not happen, as things stand now).
India, on the other hand, will be missing the hamstrung Ganguly. India's team average is at 35.7 and Ganguly's average is at 41.43. With Ganguly's most likely replacement - Robin Uthappa - batting at an average of 34.08, it will mean that to prevent the load of filling the southpaw's shoes from spilling on to the rest of the regular batsmen, Uthappa will have to bat better than par, and a 40+ score would do just fine.
With Bracken not yet available but likely to take part in the 3rd ODI at Hyderabad, it will be up to India to make hay when the sun is shining.
Bowling strengths
Ramesh Powar was the weakest link in the Indian bowling line up in the first ODI, conceding at over 8 an over. More importantly, he was bowling to one of Australia's key strengths - the middle order (although, to be honest, that wouldn't have mattered too much, given that they have strengths spread through the batting line up.) A key difference for India would be that with Harbhajan Singh fit, he is likely to replace Powar, and that would possibly give Clarke, Haddin and co. a slightly thornier path to navigate.
Meanwhile, the other front on which the battle will be fought is the top order. R.P.Singh and Zaheer Khan haven't shown enough evidence to qualify them as major threats on a pitch that isn't offering too much help. Much will depend on which side of the bed Sreesanth gets out of. Helped by the home crowd, if he can find himself on the rosier side of the line of inconsistency and help knock the top order over, India will find the momentum they need to propel themselves forward and beat the odds.
All this, of course, if the rains let up and allow the match to take place. Even as we speak, rains are lashing Kochi and the forecast is not too bright (no pun intended). If we do have a curtailed game, it will play in India's favour, as a match requiring concentrated brilliance is right up India's alley, as against one needing sustained levels of performance, which Australia specialize in.

The Idea File: Make a Neighborhood Map
At Idealist, we believe the world is full of good ideas that don't spread quickly enough. The Idea File is a feature where we give quick glimpses of ideas that seem fun, powerful, and potentially replicable — plus some things you might want to consider if you decide to take on a similar project. If you have an idea that addresses a community need, and you think others should know about it, leave a comment below and we'll take a look.
The idea:
People in my neighborhood joke that we're more likely to know each others' dogs' names than the names of our human neighbors. We don't often hear people shouting "Get your toy, Charlie" to husbands or wives. But "Come now, Spot!" is a pretty familiar refrain.
One solution: a simple sketch map that covers the houses up and down the block, or the units in an apartment or condo building, or whatever makes sense for the area.
Why we're adding it to the Idea File:
Neighborhood maps are useful for all sorts of things besides helping get neighbors' names straight when you pass on the street. They make it easier to call people together if there's a need for cooperation on a task. They let neighbors pass the word along if someone is sick or needs help for some other reason. And combined with a block watch, a neighborhood map can reduce both opportunities for and fears about break-ins and other crimes.
How you can replicate it:
A neighborhood map can start small. It can have spaces for all the houses on the block, but only a few names or numbers filled in. Usually, once the project gets going, neighbors want to have a copy to stick up on the fridge or next to the phone and they're happy to provide the information about their own households. Of course there may be some neighbors who don't want to be included at all; it's fine just to show just the house or apartment number and no further details. Some neighborhood maps include lots of information: kids' birthdays, pets' names, email addresses, and cell phone numbers. Others just stick to the basics, maybe even just the house and phone numbers.
There may already be a block watch program in your community. If so, you may want to work with the existing group when creating your neighborhood map. In any case, there may be local resources that can offer advice and a format for putting together a map and doing other easy projects to make the neighborhood safer and a nicer place to live. Checking in with the police department or other municipal offices may lead to useful tips about how to proceed; the Tuscon, Arizona, Police Department has a sample (PDF) with some explanation.

Droughts are nasty business and in sports they are cringeworthy and sad. When droughts run in to one another, they just become a cruel, cruel joke.
Toronto fans are all too accustomed to the droughts upon droughts as their 43 season long Stanley Cup drought has run into their seven season long playoff drought which both fall under the umbrella of their four decades of sadness manifesto which doesn't appear to be ending any time soon.
And, according to our friends at Reddit Hockey — specifically whatever lucky soul has the username "lattesandlibraries" — this popped up in an abnormal psychology textbook.
Surely there are good "abnormal psychology" jokes to be made about Leafs Nation but I digress.
Toronto aside, which fanbase needs to chill out and have a beer the most?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University's College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences has received approval from the Tennessee Board of Regents to begin offering a concentration in Biotechnology within the Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Sciences.
The Biotechnology concentration will join Agribusiness, Agricultural and Extension Education, Animal Sciences/Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Applied Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), Food Technology, and Plant and Soil Sciences within the B.S. degree.
"Biotechnology is a field with vast potential for crop improvement that can achieve resistance to drought, disease and pests," said Dr. Chandra Reddy, dean of the College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences. "This field and this improvement are necessary to achieve worldwide food security."
The new concentration will provide hands-on training and first-rate knowledge to students in what, according to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, is one of the job fields with the most demand for employment.
"This concentration will help train our students in the modern field of biotechnology using the latest gene sequencers and other state-of-the-art equipment," Reddy added. "Our goal at TSU is to train our students in these modern agricultural technologies so that they find gainful employment and become future leaders in these high-demand fields."
A concentration in Agricultural Biotechnology can lead to a variety of challenging careers, including Biomedical Engineering, Epidemiology, Forensic DNA Analysis, Microbiology, and many more.
To help accommodate this and other new programs in high-demand scientific fields, the College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences has been focused on strategic expansion.
"To make sure that our students get the best training, we have been hiring first-class geneticists, equipping our labs with modern equipment, and constructing a 25,000 sq. ft., 8-million dollar Agricultural Biotechnology Building which will be ready along with the new concentration in January 2014," Reddy said. "We are quite excited about the future of agricultural biotechnology at TSU."

West Ham United's historic move to the Olympic Stadium has taken another major step forward after the E20 LLP were granted planning permission to commence the stunning conversion of the Olympic Stadium at a Planning Committee meeting in Stratford on Tuesday evening.
The Club can now work closely with the E20 partnership to commence the developments that will see the Stadium upgraded to a 54,000 all-seater UEFA category 4 football Stadium - the highest category of football stadium possible in the world. Approval has also been granted for the installation of an innovative retractable seating solution on all four sides of the ground bringing fans closer to the action and the atmospheric, transparent roof that, at 84m, will become the largest-spanning tensile roof in the world.
The approved, ambitious proposals also include first-class hospitality suites, the relocation inside the turnstile line of key facilities such as the concessions and toilets (as at other traditional football stadia), landscaping and a distinctive new building that is set to become the Hammers' exclusive ticket office and flagship Club Store. The presence of these buildings will ensure that supporters continue to enjoy their direct relationship with the Club in new and enhanced facilities in the surrounds of the stunning Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
West Ham United Vice-Chairman Karren Brady said: "This is another key milestone on our journey to Stratford and my Board and I are delighted with the decision.
"We always knew that the innovative plans for the Olympic Stadium could create a globally-recognised football stadium and we were confident that planning permission would be granted to allow the conversion work to begin.
"For me and my team the hard work is only just beginning. This is an incredible opportunity to create a world-class stadium for West Ham supporters that will exceed their expectations and the chance to really deliver a lasting legacy for London."
The approved planning application will now be referred to Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, for final ratification before work on the stunning transformation can get underway later this year.
Architectural drawings of West Ham United's new home at the Olympic Stadium post-conversion were revealed and presented in person to supporters by the Vice-Chairmanon whufc.com back in April. To view the video, click here

Just read an article saying it can slow down the thyroid which can cause weight gain and further depression . Is that true?? Also birth control pills??
Hi Anon
Most anti-depression pills should not affect your birth control pill but some can, especially something like St. John's Wort which is an herbal remedy. You need to check with your doctor.
With regard to your thyroid, from what I can gather, there have been no provable links that SSRIs affect people with thyroid problems or who have no thyroid problems at all. You can read the study here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19583486
However, having thyroid conditions can be linked to depression - thyroid conditions can cause or at least contribute to depression.
I hope this helps!

Craft bazaar helps Valpo special education center
By Amy LaValley Post-Tribune correspondent November 9, 2013 11:04PM
Stefania Charpentier makes yarn Saturday at the annual SELF School Christmas Bazaar, a fundraiser for the special education center in Valparaiso. The event drew about 100 vendors. | Post-Tribune photo

VALPARAISO — Amid the chatter of holiday shoppers, Stefania Charpentier used a portable spinning wheel to make blue-green yarn.
She took a break to sell a dish scrubby, one of the many items she had for sale at her booth during Saturday's annual SELF Christmas Bazaar at the SELF School on Ransom Road.
Charpentier, of Valparaiso, also had hand-spun yarn and knitted goods for the offering. This was the second or third year she's participated in the arts and crafts show.
"It's in town, and it's really nice. People come and chat, and I get to show off my craft. Not too many people see a spinning wheel too often," she said, adding she also likes to see what other crafters have to offer. "I would never think of making more than half the stuff they have out here."
Organizers said about 100 vendors from Indiana and surrounding states took part in this year's event, in its 33rd year. They expected 1,000 shoppers to come through the doors for everything from handmade soap to Christmas ornaments.
The special education center serves
almost 300 children throughout Porter County, said Melissa Garmon, chairwoman of the bazaar and a preschool teacher at the school.
"It's a fundraiser for our classes. After the costs, teachers split the money and are able to buy educational materials, games and whatever we need for our kids," she said.
Many shoppers hit the craft show every year, and that included Stephanie Bradsky of Portage.
She bought an assortment of cat toys from the Independent Cat Society booth because she is a member and wanted to support it, and also got some cookies and pierogis.
"It's the number of vendors here and the stuff they have. There's a nice variety and I have to support these guys," Bradsky said, standing in front of the cat society's booth. "These are my people."
For Wendy Bloom, making magnetic picture boards and scarves with her sister and her grandmother for a booth at the fair was a way to help out the school. Her son Isaac, 4, is a student there.
"The school has done so much for Isaac, it's just a way to give back a little bit," the Portage mom said.

By Alex Netherton & Andi Thomas
If there's anything that should cheer up any football fan, or indeed human being, then the increasing transparency on the Hillsborough tragedy and conspiracy should be close to the top. Given that ninety-six people died, pointlessly and unnecessarily, and their families have been denied both the truth and justice, nobody can resent the recent developments. The Hillsborough report last week laid bare the lies, conspiracies and wilful failures of the government, press and police in England. Nobody was surprised, despite the revelations that at least forty-live lives might have been saved had people been aware of their responsibilities. Nobody was surprised, despite the extensive miscarriage of justice carried out by the South Yorkshire police force. Nobody was surprised, despite the callous treatment of football fans from Liverpool by a rampantly despicable Conservative party.
Miserably, the coverage of the report was interrupted by football itself. Ordinarily, it would be no awful thing, but this time it was a meeting of Liverpool and Manchester United, among the most bitter rivals in English football. Manchester United and Liverpool have a history of grim behaviour towards one another that runs the gamut of the lowest common denominator. There are chants about the deaths at Heysel, Hillsborough and Munich. There's human faeces and the rocking of ambulances. There are golf balls adorned with nails and there's racial abuse. There are jokes about state benefits and people eating rats. If you wanted to show people the worst aspects of football (besides Alan Shearer), it's this fixture. If you wanted to demonstrate some of the best football in England ever played, you'd probably point to these two sides' pasts as well.
But not their presents. If you like entertaining football, then United were not the side to watch on Sunday. They have a hole in their midfield which has been apparent for the past three years, a spinelessness apparent since the release of Carlos Tevez, and a fragility apparent since the Glazers took over United and oversaw the destruction of one of Europe's most resilient squads. A Liverpool victory seemed inevitable. When Jonjo Shelvey was sent off for his completely unacceptable name, victory seemed no less likely. If you were told Manchester United were playing against ten men, you're reaction would not have been, 'I thought it was the other way around,' it would have been, 'Oh. They're still terrible, gutless wimps who deserve defeat.'
A few minutes into the second half, Liverpool took a deserved lead, and then United did was they usually do. While Barcelona really ought to start all games with a one goal handicap to make things interesting, United only ever seem to bother when they give themselves the one goal handicap. Rafael scored a belter, a half-fluke that made the Brazilian sexpot the most attractive he has ever been since he became legal. Twenty minutes later, Robin Van Persie bothered to score a penalty, and that was it. It was a terrible game that Manchester United deserved to win because of numerical advantage and a reserve of talent that Liverpool had no way of matching. Liverpool played better, but they made a worse fist of the game overall. This benefits nobody. United still cannot play to their potential unless desperate to, and have an utterly rotten balance to their side, approach and squad. Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool seem lost, unable to raise their game unless outside forces dictate that they transcend their talent.
One of us watched the game at a pub in London. Two minutes in, a Scouser with a slash mark on his cheek started making Munich gestures. At half time, Hillsborough jokes. It wasn't especially dignified, but there was at least a sense that these actions had to be done relatively secretly. Fans' misbehaviour at the ground was at least kept to mostly after the final whistle. It's not much cop, but, given the last five years, it's a start. Let's stop mocking the dead. Apart from anything else, both of these sides are so utterly wretched that fans' dignity doesn't need any extra help to suffer.
Mark Halsey was the unfortunate sod given responsibility for refereeing Sunday's game, and it's fair to say that a couple of his decisions distressed the supporters of the home side. Shelvey's dismissal, while relatively inarguable on its own merits, might well have been accompanied with similar for an also-aerial Evans, while the same defender's tackle on Luis Suarez in the second half could well have been a foul in the box. (Though Luis, if you're reading – and you probably are, everyone else is in on this hot ticket – you've developed a peculiar habit of looking like you're diving even when you've been caught. The arched-back, the howl of pain, the far-flung arms – might want to dial it down a bit.)
The point is not: these decisions were right. Or wrong. If we're going to have decisions made by just the one person using just the two eyes, plus two assistants and their four eyes, then errors will happen. The point is that any criticism of these decisions based on replays is fundamentally and straightforwardly untenable. If you've only been able to see that it was a penalty based on super-duper slow-motion and
image-magnification, or that Evans should have gone based on a still from a television camera on the other side of the pitch, then triumphantly proclaiming a man without any of this help to be a corrupt cheat is less than fair. 'Man makes incorrect decision after failing to consider evidence he couldn't possibly have access to'. What a bastard.

Monday, 18 June 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a contract worth in excess of £1billion with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to deliver reactor cores for the UK's nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
This contract includes regeneration of the current Rolls-Royce submarine reactor core manufacturing facility in Derby. The Group will introduce the latest technology and manufacturing techniques to deliver increased efficiencies committed by the MoD and industry as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Jason Smith, Rolls-Royce President Submarines and Chief Operating Officer - Nuclear said: "This is excellent news that demonstrates the high level of trust the MoD has in both our technology and the expertise of our highly skilled workforce. This new facility will deploy advanced manufacturing techniques to enhance our world leading nuclear manufacturing capability."
Under this contract Rolls-Royce will continue to maintain and operate its existing reactor core manufacturing facility in Derby, UK. In parallel the Group will complete a phased rebuild to provide a leading-edge manufacturing facility with the highest standards of safety to support future MoD programme needs.
Rolls-Royce is the UK's lead company, on behalf of the MoD, in nuclear submarine reactor systems and support services; incorporating design, manufacture, procurement and operation.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in more than 80 countries.
- Annual underlying revenues were £11.3 billion in 2011, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £62.2 billion at 31 December 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 40,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2011, Rolls-Royce invested £908 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.
- The Group has been the sole Technical Authority for the UK Nuclear Steam Raising Plant, which has powered the whole of the UK's Royal Navy submarine fleet for 50 years.

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 Meeko!
Facts about Meeko
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Senior
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Meeko's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, there! My name is Meeko and I have quite a story! I ended up in a county pound as a stray with a tag with my name and phone number, but the number was disconnected. Then I was supposed to be euthanized (that's a nice way of saying killed), but a nice person agreed to foster me. Then when she could no longer keep me, the Rescue said that no one would want to adopt me and they never had me come to adoption events or even put me on their website because I am a senior dog and so they decided to euthanize me, too! But my foster person wasn't going to let that happen, so she found Tuffie's Animal Rescue and now I am in a foster home again and very happy, except that I would love to be in my forever home instead of another temporary one.
Even though I am a senior, I have a lot of life left in me that I want to share with you! I am mostly deaf, but can hear you if you clap or say my name loudly. The vet said I had some arthritus in my joints, so I am taking a supplement which helps, but what has helped me the most is that I have been on a diet and as I have lost weight, my energy and mobility has greatly increased. I will now run to the door if I think we are going for a walk or a ride in the car, my most favorite things to do besides eating and getting belly rubs! I am housetrained and bark very rarely, so I won't cause you any trouble. I am fine with other dogs and cats and kids, but older ones who don't want to climb on me would be best. I am neutered, current on shots and micro chipped so I won't ever get lost again! I weigh around 70 pounds and am supposed to be about 12 years old. My adoption donation is $100. I know that there is the perfect family or person just looking for a great, low maintenance doggy like me! To get an application and/or make an appointment to meet me in person, please email email@example.com or call (925) 209-6480 or (623) 587-9119.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Meeko, a Phoenix Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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 Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

PierceNichols commented on the blog post Whither Iraq? What's Happening Had to Happen
I agree that the fracturing is a policy choice, but it's not one that has ever been in the hands of the US. My suspicion is that what we are seeing now is similar in form, if not details, to what would have happened if Saddam had died of natural causes.
The details of that particular contra-factual are open to debate, but the idea that Hussein's two violent idiot sons or anyone else he allowed to retain any sort of power under him could have kept Iraq together is obviously false.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Study: Hedge Funds Taking Over Pension Fund Investments, Increasing Risk
I started out thinking that declining interest rates were one likely cause of the shift in emphasis over the period of the top chart. So I went and looked into the real rates of return (i.e. inflation adjusted) on high quality corporate bonds (i.e Baa or better) from the 1950s until now.
I was honestly surprised at the results. Over most of the period from 1952 until the stagflation era, real returns were largely in the range of 0-4%. Current real rates of return on high-grade bonds largely lie within the lower third or so of that historical range.
And that means that the problems are driven almost entirely by long-term underfunding and political chicanery.

PierceNichols commented on the blog post Mystery: Bank Of Utah Plane Lands In Iran
The fact that a US-registered aircraft was sitting on the ramp in Tehran with its registration numbers in full view to every passerby is a good sign that this flight was entirely legal. It turns out US citizens can get State Department permission to go to Iran and even spend some money there.
Most likely conclusion is that the US is conducting unofficial diplomacy with Iran. That is most probably for the good. Such diplomacy is how flashpoints get turned into talking points at diplomatic meetings.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Mystery: Bank Of Utah Plane Lands In Iran
The Bank of Utah is in the business of aircraft finance and operation of aircraft trusts. That is a perfectly legal and above board line of business, and it naturally results them in being the registered owner of a huge number of airplanes. For comparison, it's almost twice the number of aircraft owned by United Airlines. Do you do any research at all before jerking your knee?
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Mystery: Bank Of Utah Plane Lands In Iran
Not really unusual. The reporter who snapped it likely knows enough about airplanes to know that the 'N604EP' painted on the engine nacelle indicates the aircraft is registered in the US. That is, needless to say, a highly unusual thing to see on the ramp in Tehran. Most reporters carry cameras on them, and would have the presence of mind to snap a picture of something that out of the ordinary.

Butane extraction? Clearly a trick for the dimmer bulbs.

Your understanding of thermodynamics is somewhat deficient.

You've clearly confused the two — in [...]

The rate of all violent crime in the US is in steep long-term decline and has been for the last two decades. The murder rate in particular has dropped to a level last seen in 1906. There's just not any epidemic of violence that requires banning guns. Further, the suggestion that guns kill as many [...]
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: Yup, Hyperloop's a Joke
The chatter about capacity is deeply silly, because Hyperloop would have more than sufficient capacity to serve the existing market for high speed travel between SF and LA.
Currently, there's one high speed travel mode between SF & LA: air travel. The ticket price is in the neighborhood of $80 each way (coincidentally, the predicted ticket price for HSR), and it would be unreasonable to assume that Hyperloop will come in much off of that number (if it ever gets built). And we know how big the market for that is right now — somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-7 million passengers per year. In 2009, the last year for which I can find reliable figures, it was 6.3M. Even assuming robust growth, a single Hyperloop tube pair could handle that traffic load. Obviously air travel isn't going anywhere, so it would share the passenger traffic with aircraft.

PierceNichols commented on the blog post Logic goes down in a hail of gunfire
I agree — the various terrorist watch lists are both oppressive and pointless. We should be working to narrow their scope and eliminate them, not apply them to yet another area.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Logic goes down in a hail of gunfire
I suspect that's most likely true.
MA has among the strictest gun laws in the nation (see http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/education/hed/hed_gun_laws.htm for details). I suspect that's the reason the Tsarnaev brothers committed a bombing rather than a mass shooting.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Saudis Explicitly Warned U.S. Intelligence Agencies About Tamerlan Tsarnaev
You have yet to enumerate any good reasons, either legally or in the context of the FBI's many other priorities.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Saudis Explicitly Warned U.S. Intelligence Agencies About Tamerlan Tsarnaev
The FBI doesn't have infinite resources. Do you think they have the resources to tail every last person who's attracted the enmity of an authoritarian regime somewhere? Do you think they should spend their resources on that rather than on investigating crimes that certainly have occurred? Do you really want a national criminal investigative agency with those kind of resources and that kind of reach?
Also, placing tracking devices on someone's car requires a warrant (per recent SCotUS rulings), and that requires probable cause. What's the probable cause on either of the Tsarnaev brothers prior to Apr 15?
And if they had known he bought fireworks… they could have told the state patrol he bought some fireworks illegal to possess in MA. Big deal, that's a misdemeanor that almost everyone I know who grew up in MA committed at least once (myself included). It's about as normal a crime for his age and location as speeding or smoking pot.
PierceNichols commented on the blog post Saudis Explicitly Warned U.S. Intelligence Agencies About Tamerlan Tsarnaev
Assuming your information is 100% true, all he did was discuss violent jihad in general terms. That is not a crime, nor should it be. It isn't even evidence, in and of itself, of intent to commit a crime. Talking about how you'd like to kill some people in the abstract is a million miles from actually killing people.
The closest thing to direct evidence I have seen that either of the Tsarnaev brothers committed a crime prior to Apr 15 is this report from the NYDN (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/tamerlan-bought-bombs-article-1.1325504) of Tamerlan buying fireworks on Feb 6. That would count as an overt act in the furtherance of a conspiracy, and therefore a crime. But you'd never detect without surveillance pervasive enough to know every conversation that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had. Even people on house arrest aren't subjected to that level of panopticon surveillance.

Jeffreys made a switch of his own shortly thereafter, moving ahead on his own, and Atlantic Records eventually took notice of his efforts. Too bad the firm didn't put more muscle behind Garland Jeffreys, a 1973 solo offering that fully revealed the dimensions of his talent for the first time. For proof, look no further than "Wild in the Streets," a riveting urban tale inspired by the murder of a young girl who was tossed off a roof by two boys, ages twelve and thirteen.
The tune's concerns prefigured punk rock and became an early anthem of the movement. English punks such as members of the Clash got to know it from a cover version by the British Lions, a combo that co-starred former members of Mott the Hoople; Guy Stevens, who produced the Clash's London Calling, did the same honors for Mott. "When I met the Clash in 1979 or 1980, I gave Joe Strummer a copy of the Atlantic-label 45," Jeffreys remembers. "He knew it very well." So did the Circle Jerks, whose rendition of "Wild" became the title cut for their second full-length, from 1982. Earlier this year, the Jerks' recording was used for a Vans commercial aimed at the skateboarding crowd. "I get a small royalty from these things," Jeffreys allows, "but what I'm much more excited about is that people have embraced the song -- that they're still playing it and recording it and listening to it."
"Wild" isn't the only great song on Ghost Writer, a 1977 album that marked Jeffreys's jump to A&M Records. Also on the disc is "New York Skyline," which he played at benefit shows with Springsteen after 9/11, and "Cool Down Boy," one of several tracks that sport a reggae undercurrent thanks to assistance from some of Jamaica's finest sidemen -- among them drummer Winston Grennan, who kept the beat on Toots & the Maytals' classic Funky Kingston platter and worked with Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff.
While Jeffreys's love of reggae and ska further endeared him to punks, it merely confused U.S. radio programmers, who had no clue what to do with an African-American singer-songwriter who didn't specialize in soul, R&B or disco. It's no surprise, then, that even after Jeffreys made two more highly regarded LPs, 1978's One Eyed Jack and 1979's American Boy & Girl (distinguished by "Matador," a song that topped charts in much of Europe), A&M dropped him. He resurfaced on Epic Records two years later with Escape Artist, which featured Reed, David Johansen and a who's who of New York rockers, plus reggae figures like Linton Kwesi Johnson and Springsteen cohorts Roy Bittan and Danny Federici. This crew created enough of a stir to turn a new rendering of the rock chestnut "96 Tears" into a minor hit, and a live followup, 1981's Rock 'n' Roll Adult, drew some heat because Jeffreys was accompanied by the Rumour, the band heard backing Graham Parker on his most memorable recordings. Nevertheless, Epic and Jeffreys parted company after 1983's Guts for Love, and another nine years would pass before another label, RCA, filled the vacuum. His 1992 disc, Don't Call Me Buckwheat, collected the expected raves but was harder to find than it should have been; Jeffreys says Springsteen didn't track down a copy until 2001.
Springsteen's enthusiastic patronage, as well as a key role in a Wim Wenders-directed segment of The Blues, Martin Scorsese's recent multi-part TV documentary, probably made Universal's decision to ink Jeffreys to a new agreement that much easier. "I'm thrilled about the opportunity to put out some new recordings with a large distribution," he says. Still, he knows better than to tie his self-esteem to anything as fickle as sales figures or acclaim.
"I think everybody aspires to more recognition if they're honest with themselves," he maintains, "but I'm taking responsibility for myself. I feel very much part of the world, very at ease with myself and comfortable in my own skin. No one has cost me anything."

Sliding into Summarizing!
Reading To Learn- Summarizing
Rationale: Good readers comprehend and
understand the things that they read. The process of summarizing is taking out
the important details, and deleting the unnecessary ones. This lesson will teach
students to summarize through key strategies and steps. Modeling will show the
students how to apply the summariziation rules that they learn.
class set of "Penguin" article copies
(from Britannica Kids)
document camera
class set of Polar Bears: A True
Book by Larry Dane Brimner
assessment checklist
1. Say: Today we are going to
learn a brand new strategy, called summarizing, to help us become better
readers. We read books, articles, etc to learn new things. For us to learn those
new things and feed our brain, we have to understand what we read, right?
2. Say: Who thinks they know what
it means to summarize? Summarizing is picking out the most important things that
you read. That means that sometimes information and words may not be necessary. Today, we
are going to learn how to summarize. First I will show you some new steps and
tricks for summarizing. After we will try those steps out together, you will
practice by yourselves.
3. Say: Step one of summarizing is
getting rid of the information that isn't important. Unimportant information is
information that: describe, define, give examples, show comparisons, or repeat
other information. The best way for us to get rid of unimportant information is
to cross it out as we read. We are only going to cross out information while we
practice. So as you read, decide if what you are reading is important and if it
isn't, cross it out.
After we have read through one
time and crossed out information, we can move on to the next step. We need to
reread what we didn't cross out. If we find more things that aren't important,
we will those out too. If we don't need to cross anything else out, we can
highlight what is left and that is the important parts of the sentence.
The third step is to come up with
a topic sentence. A topic sentence is a statement that covers the whole text.
4. Say: [I will have the article
on the document camera so that we can be working together as we read.] We're
going to practice using the skills that we just learned while we read an article
about penguins. This article tells us all about penguins! We will learn a little
about where they live and what they do. Sometimes we have new words that we
don't know when we read articles; these are our vocabulary words. A vocabulary
word that we will see is colony. Does
anyone know what colony means? [Time for responses.] A colony is a group of the
same kind of animals living together. What do you think the opposite of a colony
would be? [Time for response.] Right! The opposite of a colony is an animal that
lives alone.
5. Say: We are going to start by
reading the article [put the article on the documentation camera and read
through the article]. How could we summarize this section? I am going to read
the paragraph out loud and I want you to follow along on your paper. Let's do it
together. [Model reading: Read each sentence and stop at the end to determine
whether or not the information is important. Cross out unnecessary
information/highlight important information as a class.]
Flocks of penguins may stay at sea for weeks at a time. They resemble schools of dolphins as they leap in graceful arcs from the water to take breaths of air. Penguins feed underwater on fish, squids, and crustaceans. In fact, penguins do not know how to eat on land, and must slowly acquire this skill when captured for zoos.
6. Say: Great work picking out the
important information in that article. Now we can try to come up with a summary
for this paragraph. Remember, the next step is to come up with a topic sentence.
Who thinks they could come up with a good topic sentence? Be sure to raise your
hand to answer. [Write down what the class comes up with on the board.]
7. Say: Now you're going to
practice on your own with the first chapter of Polar Bears: A True Book.
Be sure to use the rules that we talked about!
When summarizing, did the student… |
Delete unimportant information? |
Delete repeated information? |
Organize items with a big idea? |
Select a topic? |
Write an inclusive, simple topic sentence to
summarize the passage? |

Hot Melt Glue Sheet
This hot melt glue sheet is easy to use and if you make a mistake you can re-heat the area that you are working on and re-position the veneer!
Here's how to use the glue sheet: Place the glue sheet, glue side down, on the surface to be veneered. Apply heat from an iron ("Cotton" setting) to the release paper side of the sheet. Work in 8" x 8" areas. Remove the iron from the heated area and apply pressure using a J roller or wallpaper seam roller as the 8" x 8" area cools. For best results the roller should be no wider than 2" wide. 1" wide is even better. Repeat the process for the entire surface, always working in areas no larger than 8" x 8". When the glue sheet is glued in place, peel off the release paper and place the veneer in posiiton, repeating the process. Glue sheets can be overlapped for irregular areas. Recommended usage: Flexible veneers - any size area; 2 Ply veneers- not recommended; All other veneers - areas no larger than 18" x 18" or 12" by any length. The glue sheet comes 24" wide by any length that you specify. It is sold by the lineal foot. You can cut the glue sheet with a razor knife or scissors. Note: Veneer does not come attached to the glue sheet. Order the veneer separately. 24" wide hot melt glue sheet: $3.25/LF Save 20%: 30 LF or more $2.60/LF Currently, there are no listings in this category. Check back soon for new additions! |

I prefer this over the Brightening Exfoliator (for daily use). In my opinion, this is milder on my dry skin, the latter is much more harsh and create dryness on my skin afterwash. In between my massage over my face by using this product, I can feel my face is instantly smoother and softer. I like how it makes my skin so soft however it didn't deliver a brightening effect (kind of deep cleansing effect that I'm looking for). Estee Lauder Idealist Dual Action Refinishing Treatment did provide that brightening feel but at the same time I couldn't feel the exfoliating particulars much compare to this.
Works great! I massage gently into damp (not dripping wet) skin with light pressure for about two minutes, no longer. I prefer to think of it as a polishing action, rather than a sanding action. I'm left with skin, albeit slightly red, that feels invigorated. I would be okay using it the day of an important event, so long as it wasn't part of the immediate routine just before getting ready for the event. Since this product sloughs off excess "stuff" from my skin's surface, seems like whatever I put on next soaks in more readily, which I would think would enhance its effectiveness. It's fun to use it right before bed & then pile on the beauty treatments afterwards & then try to lie on the pillow as long as possible to keep it all intact before rolling over on your side. (The pile-on is not recommended unless you are sleeping alone that night!) There have been no problems associated with using this scrub, and I will most certainly buy another tube when this one is empty. I honestly think Kiehls has really hit one out of the park with this product!

The scrub has definitely got the most refined particles out of all the body & facial scrubs I've used before. I use it once/twice a week and it does do a great job at smoothing my skin. I have never felt any of the tingly sensations that other users have - and I'm quite sure I've used it up to the two minute period. Besides the obvious smoothing effects I have noticed perhaps a slight reduction in pore size as well as breakouts. My skin also seems brighter and healthier after I use it too.

BEST SCRUB EVER! It makes my skin feel super smooth and less bumpy. Visible results after I used it for the first time. It does not dry out my face, maybe because I have oily skin. I can use it about 3 to 4 times a week and it's good! But, this stuff is so expensive! I have stopped using it for a while now because I can't afford it and my face is back to being bumpy. Will definitely have to get this back again!
This is great! I only need to use it once a week and i absolutely adore the extremely fine particles. you can't even see them when you squeeze the product out! But they do an amazing job! My skin is freakishly smooth and soft after i use this. And it is true that you can control the harshness/gentleness of this product by simply applying a bit more pressure. Leaving it on for too long or scrubbing for more than thirty seconds will leave the skin feeling quite irritated! I do love this..especially paired with my dermalogica cream exfoliant the next day..the two together makes my skin luxuriously smooth and soft for the rest of the week.
update: still loving this. not sure i'll repurchase though cause it's quite expensive. it's more of a "treatment" scrub than a daily scrub for me personally. i use it at most once every three weeks and my moisturizers sink in well after that and my skin is noticeably smoother. however not worth the amount i have to pay..it was something between 50-80 dollars canadian. bought it a while ago so i forgot..but it really is a good product

A great scrub!
I've tried a real crystal microdermabrasion session before and this scrub was quite similar. It recommends to scrub for 30seconds to a max of 2 mins but sometimes I can't even last 30 seconds.
Skin feels really soft after use. I usually follow up with the midnight recovery oil or the line reducing concentrate
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my first review but I am compelled to talk about this product since I really do love it.
I already have good skin to being with (knock on wood) and it's pretty soft. The first time I used this I wasn't all that impressed, I guess I was expecting some sort of miracle, but the second time around... wow. (BTW, you are supposed to use it once to twice a week, no more)
So my chin is a bit rough (due to my bf's scruff, he should shave right?) so that was my reference point. After 2 uses (in one week) it's gotten super smooth!! Back to how it was I guess. I felt no burning or anything, I scrubbed (soft to medium) the way they said to do it on the bottle and I did so for about the 30 seconds they suggested.
Since my skin is rather clear, smooth and pretty uniform, I can't say anything else except it leaves your skin super soft, but I guess this depends on how your skin is to begin with.
I use a cheap facial cleanser on my face and neck, then use the micro-dermabrasion, then I hop in the shower, use my body scrub from Kiehls (though I'm not as impressed by it, it's bigger granules, maybe I need to give it more time) and then use the Kiehls clay toner and then wtv moisturizer I have on hand.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased this after reading many favorable reviews here on MUA. Unfortunately, this wasn't worth the money for me. It is quite scrubby, so points for that, but something in it burns my sensitive skin upon contact. For exfoliation, this doesn't work any better than an aspirin mask or baking soda for me. Bottom line: This is a very pricey product that I wish I hadn't purchased.
More reviews by sallysellsseashells
This is a fantastic scrub but I have a problem with it. I got a sample size of this and was able to get 5 uses out of it. The scrub particles are very tiny but wow, they pack a punch. I would recommend you follow the instructions and not exfoliate for more than the said time because this is powerful. For example, I could only stand about 30 seconds of this before I could rinse but I do have sensititve skin to begin with. The scrub has a very subtle clean scent that anyone can handle with is a big plus! After rinsing, my skin felt so soft and smooth like I just had a facial!!!! Plus, it left my skin properly hydrated and I didn't even need to put on moisturizer after and that is just amazing. However, sad to say, I developed big red pimples here and there from this. I only used it every 3 days but everytime, a new pimple would appear. I looked up the ingredients and found that they put shea butter in this. I can't do shea butter on my face from my previous experiences with it. But, too bad, If this didn't have that in it, it would be HG. In fact, I even thought about still using this and dealing with the pimples because I love this scrub so much :(. So, two lippies off for 1. price (full size is 2.5 fl. oz) is $40.00 US and 2. Broke out.

I wanted to wait a few weeks before reviewing it, especially since I didn't use it as often at first.
The scrub feels slightly harsh if kept on the face/rubbed on the face too long. I've been trying to use it once or twice a week, my skin generally "looks" okay but it's quite bumpy from my under-the-skin breakouts, especially around my chin area. This scrub keeps my chin-area bump-free for a few days, usually that is my cue to use it again. I'm not going to say I hope it makes the bumps go away forever, no product can work miracles.
Normally, I like to apply a hydrating mask after using this but I noticed that the effects aren't different even when I don't. As long as I wash it off well, tone and apply moisturizer, my skin is happy!
