Hi -
I'm in the process of a major kitchen remodel and am very confused w/r to high-gloss cabinetry, or rather the best method of achieving this. My designer has said there are different types of high-gloss 'techniques' such as laminate, or simply spraying the cabinets with several layers of paint then applying a high-gloss finish. He recommends a lacquer method wherein the paint is applied simultaneously with a lacquer with a spray gun (please forgive me if I'm using incorrect terminology) and then cured. He said this gives the best and most resistant finish. I'm a bit of a nerd, and confess I have to understand the process a bit better than simply hearing "spraying on a paint and a lacquer and that's the best way, trust me". I want to make certain my cabinetmaker is going to be using the very best method to achieve a high-gloss finish. Is this technique the same thing as a nitrocellulose lacquer? If not, can somebody give me a specific name? Thanks very much in advance! The look I'm going for is similar to this:
Follow-Up Postings:
. He recommends a lacquer method wherein the paint is applied simultaneously with a lacquer with a spray gun ...and then cured. This is the way almost any cabinet finish is applied, be it lacquer, enamel, conversion varnish... whatever. "Cured" is sort of like "allowed to dry" except that it implies a chemical reaction is taking place rather than just the evaporation of solvents. You spray the finish on, and allow it to cure. Lacquer is a good material for high-gloss finishes because it's easy to work with and can be sanded flat and polished to a high gloss. The problem with high-gloss finishes is that the crisp reflections you can see in glossy surfaces make surface defects very obvious. Outside of a carefully tuned, automated industrial finishing setup, it's very difficult to apply such finishes perfectly right out of the gun; this is why ease of sanding and polishing is important. Lacquer is not the most durable or water-resistant finish out there, but it's probably a good choice when you consider all the upsides and downsides. Assuming your cabinets won't be made of sheet metal, the best material for this sort of thing is probably MDF. Beyond that, the best way to get the sort of finish you want is to hire a finisher who really knows what he's doing. This is not a job for a novice. You should also expect this finish to be relatively expensive. |

text: With their first album in eight years, Scotland's electronic act Boards of Canada have had their listeners on quite the anticipation ride. After anonymously releasing a short clip of music and spread rumors that it might be theirs. With this clip came a six-digit code, though its purpose was unknown. Over the following few months, more codes were released through outlets such as BBC, Adult Swim, and NPR. Their website wouldn't allow access to anyone without a password, which was also unavailable. Once the user entered all six codes, it revealed a video announcing their new album. So after all that work, is it really worth it? Short answer: yes.

The following tips were developed for Be The Change!, a project for Unitarian Universalist (UU) youth in multiculturalism, anti-racism and building beloved community, but can be used for facilitating discussions in a variety of identity-related areas.
Facilitation is a challenging service to provide any group, and facilitating group discussions about loaded and personal topics like race and racism carry particular challenges. There are some common pitfalls that many facilitators of such conversations encounter, so we want to lift up some best practices for facilitating conversations about identity and oppression for you to be aware of and give some thought to beforehand.
It is very tempting in conversations about identity and dominant cultures for a facilitator to take on the role of "expert." This most often comes up when a group experiences conflict or questions. However, serving as an "expert" or an authority on particular topics is not your role and is ultimately not effective.
What is effective is helping members of the group stay in tune with their covenant and explore questions from a place of curiosity rather than defensiveness or fear. It is not your job to provide answers to questions that come up or "correct" people when you disagree with their perspective or the place they are currently at.
It is particularly important for you to have a high level of awareness around which voices in the room are loudest and which voices are quietest or silent. You can help keep balance by reminding group members that if they have been speaking a lot they might consider focusing on listening for a while, and if they haven't yet spoken they might consider giving voice to their thoughts.
This also applies to you. Your primary role should be to be of service to the group and to your co-facilitator. If possible, keep personal sharing and opinions you offer to a minimum and focus your comments on helping group members explore their thoughts and feelings and stay in tune with their covenant.
Possibly your most important role as a facilitator is to help the group stay in touch with their covenant. Discuss with your co-facilitator in advance how you both would feel most comfortable addressing breaches of covenant that arise—from small to major. For example, one of you could be in charge of keeping an eye on certain covenant items.
Discuss whether there are particular people in the group that you know might be more prone to conflict, or might be more prone to not engage with the conversation. Problem-solve a little in advance about how you can exercise compassion toward these folks and help them be a part of the group in the healthiest way possible.
Brainstorm phrases with your co-facilitator that you can use to help the group keep key covenant items, being mindful that your job is not to "police" people and keep them from behaving "wrongly," but rather to help group members remember how they want to be with each other.
Conversations about identity, culture, ethnicity and justice issues can get very personal and emotional for everyone involved. Different people will have very different emotions and reactions, often depending directly on their identity and experience. Some people will get louder and/or react defensively or aggressively. Some people will withdraw and become silent.
As facilitator, you carry a responsibility to help every member of the group feel that their experience is real and valued, especially those who are struggling the most. Participants may struggle from a place of profound privilege and lack of awareness, or they may struggle from a place of profound marginalization and pain. It can be very difficult to find compassion for someone you or other group members find jarring or offensive, but it is really important to do so, and to demonstrate that compassionate approach for the entire group.
Part of your challenge is discerning how to most effectively help each person. Sometimes all that will be needed is encouraging a person to share and affirm that what they've shared makes sense. Other times you may want to ask a chaplain, your co-facilitator, or someone else to speak with a particular person privately.
The practice of speaking solely from one's own experience, rather than becoming representative of all people of a particular identity, is vital in this work. It is always better to speak personally rather than generally, especially when talking about identity and experience. For example, instead of saying "people of color don't hang out with white folks," you might say, "in my high school I've noticed that the students of color and the white students tend to eat lunch at totally separate lunch tables."
Be mindful of generalizations based on identity or experience, in yourself and in others in the group, and gently (a) help people remember to speak only from their own experience, and (b) help participants to not expect that anyone else can represent a whole group either (for example, not turning to a person of color in the room and asking them to speak for how all people of color feel about a particular subject).
Talking about identity and justice is not always comfortable. It is important to remember and sometimes affirm for the group that it's okay to feel uncomfortable, and that feelings of discomfort can point us toward something in ourselves that needs our attention.
Your role is not to avoid unpleasantness or discomfort or "fix" any that come up in the group; rather, you can help the group sit with discomfort and bring an attitude of curiosity to it rather than defensiveness and fear. Rather than attempting to "smooth over" discomfort, you and your co-facilitator may need to collectively decide to deviate from the agenda at times in order to take care of the needs of the group.
Facilitating conversations around identity and justice issues can be personally taxing and may bring up particularly strong thoughts and emotions for you. In addition to setting aside time to check in and process with your co-facilitator before and after each session, take time for self-care also.
Find a practice that helps you feel centered and/or helps you reconnect with your own goals as a facilitator, and get into a habit around it. This could be journaling, spending time with an animal companion, doing yoga, being outside, or simply breathing deeply for two or three minutes. Also, make sure you are well-rested and well-fed before each session.

Tried out a chain hotel lately?You might be pleasantly surprised. In the past few years lodging companies have been busy opening and upgrading properties in the moderately priced range—those for which you'll shell out about $100 a night. Some of the improvements, such as better bedding, first showed up at high-priced chains, then trickled down; other perks, like free Internet access, have long been a signature of midmarket brands—eat your heart out, upscale-hotel guests. Meanwhile, the industry's current emphasis on design is turning once-stodgy lobbies and guest rooms practically hip, a trend especially evident in new well-priced, style-minded chains—Starwood's Aloft and Hyatt's Hyatt Place, for example—that blur the line between vanilla-box and boutique property.
Still, for traveling families the very predictability of chains has always been part of their appeal. After all, when you're goggle-eyed from nonstop driving, satin-steel doorknobs and exposed-brick walls are beside the point. What you want are a convenient location and some well-thought-out basics. At the best of the bland hotels these days, you'll find all of that, along with a number of welcome enticements.
Faster Check-In
They're not yet the self-serve hotels that are increasingly popular in Europe, but U.S. chains are automating. More and more properties feature check-in kiosks—no need to line up at the front desk for your room number and key card.
Quarters that Won't Cramp Your Style
All-suite properties have proliferated; they now account for 11 percent of the hotel market. And apartment-style, extended-stay setups—an 80's invention conceived for business travelers—are a bonanza for families who've learned you can duck in for just a night and spread out (suites at such properties are more spacious than the standard 325-square-foot room). Hungry?Throw a frozen pizza in the oven. Some chains will do grocery shopping for free, though nightly receptions for guests (barbecued chicken at Residence Inn, Swedish meatballs at Homewood Suites) are sometimes substantial enough to double as dinner.
A Decent Night's Sleep
The bed wars among upscale chains that began in 1999, when Westin introduced its Heavenly Bed, have resulted in a more comfy "sleep experience" all over. Those tired, old, rarely washed polyester bedspreads are finally being replaced with duvets whose covers are laundered between guests. Chains now tout the thread count of their sheets (though we're talking 200-count cotton-poly blends) and offer pillow menus and triple sheeting (the third sheet covers the blanket—so you never have to touch it). Mattresses have plumped up (from four inches to nine at Residence Inn and Fairfield Inn), and pillow-tops are surfacing. Hey, the kids just might sleep in.
Jazzy New Features
Holiday Inn is one of many chains converting to flat-screen TV's and expanding programming. The long-reviled bedside clock has also been revamped. Hampton Hotels' idiot-proof clock radio has proved so popular that 197,652 have been sold at $60 each. And then there's the curious case of the curved shower curtain. Designed to give ever pudgier guests more lathering room, these bowed rods are now everywhere. Keep your distance, wet nylon!
Breakfast on the House
Forget cellophane-wrapped Danishes made who-knows-when. Buffets of scrambled eggs, sausages, yogurt, fresh fruit, and make-your-own waffles are gratis at many limited-service hotels—a boon for families and another way moderately priced properties outdo more expensive ones. Embassy Suites, whose rates are a tad higher than hotels in the mid-scale range, has cooks in toques at its buffets whipping up omelettes (more than 9,000 each day). Even if your hotel doesn't include the morning meal in the rate, it may offer special room-and-breakfast deals. At Holiday Inn, children who order from the kids' menu eat free—and sometimes get SpongeBob activity booklets.

Guy Proposes with a Pokémon Card
I know that the Pokémon slogan is "Gotta catch 'em all", but I didn't think that included women. Check out how one clever geek proposed to his girlfriend.
Apparently they both enjoy the Pokémon card game, so he made a special card and attached a ring, though I'm not sure how he fit it in the deck. There isn't a whole lot of info aside from that, but you gotta love his style.
I'm just hoping this little fiasco doesn't include catching her in a Pokéball afterwards, for her sake. I've never played the Pokémon card game myself, but 150 HP? Does marriage half that? Anyhow, if you ever want to marry your card gaming partner, this is the way you do it.

The Earthwise brand cordless blower is on sale at Aldi starting tomorrow. I'm hoping it was on sale before and someone has it. The reviews on Amazon are favorable, but there are complaints about its low power and short-time charge. On the plus side, it's a lightweight, convenient tool for small jobs. I don't expect it to be as powerful as a big blower. I was sure it was a good idea until I realized most people reviewing it would have smooth concrete walks. I have old rough concrete and brick. I'm hoping someone can tell me what it can do. One review called it an air broom, and that sounds like what I need. |
Here is a link that might be useful: cordless blower at Aldi
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not buy it. Consider this one instead: http://www.amazon.com/Makita-BUB182Z-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B001UQ6WKU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1302039092&sr=1-2-catcorr Ni-cad batteries do not have enough power and they do not last long. You need one with lithium-ion batteries. Buy an extra battery so that you can continue working when one battery is exhausted. A lot more money, but it would be a waste spending less. dcarch |

Wow, that other one is a lot more, with the battery sold separately. Made me wonder what does and does not come with the one at Aldi. I will give it a lot more thought. Thanks for your advice. |
Thanks DC! That is the same item that was causing me to go to Aldi today. I'll checkout the suggested brand. |
CC, I purchased this blower yesterday. I have heavy duty blower that I use for large projects. I wanted the convenience of a cordless for the front porch and garage so I thought for the $$ it might work for my purposes. It's lightweight and light duty so it serves me okay and I can keep it in the foyer closet to "sweep" the front porch. It does come with a battery & charger. |
- Posted by cloudy_christine (My Page) on Fri, Apr 8, 11 at 21:33
Cathy, have you used it yet? I'd love to hear details of what it can do. |
Me too.....that other one posted by DC comes to $222 after you have bought a battery and the charger. The one at aldi's is about 1/5 the cost.....and sounds perfect for the frequent deck sweep. Linda C |
CC, I charged the battery right away (8 hours) so I could report back. Granted, it's not a replacement for my heavy-duty Toro but it did the job I was aiming for. I "swept" the porch easily then I tried it in the garage where lots of leaves had entered; worked well there too. In fact, it maybe better for the garage as it doesn't disturb all the garage crap like my heavy-duty one. All the leaves from the garage were then on the driveway; I blew the leaves off the drive way--a little slower but still did the job. |
- Posted by cloudy_christine (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 11 at 14:19
Thanks very much, Cathy. Do you have any opinion about how would it would work on rough surfaces, where small leaves and needles offer more resistance? |
- Posted by claire_de_luna (My Page) on Sat, Apr 9, 11 at 15:12
Aldi takes things back, no questions asked, so if you wanted to try it, I wouldn't hesitate. I've returned several items in the past without any hassle whatsoever. |
- Posted by cloudy_christine (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 15:17
Well, I went and bought it. Thanks for the heads up on charging time. That's something I might not have thought about. Tomorrow it's going to be 80 degrees and I will be outside giving it a trial run. |
The Makita is expensive. I bought it because: 1. Where I store it in the living room near the front entry, I don't have a lot of space. Makita is much smaller and just a little more than half the weight, yet it has more power than most other cordless blowers. 2. Makita uses lithium-ion battery, which does not need to be always hooked up to the charger. Ni-cad batteries can self-discharge, and need to be on constant charge. Lithium-ion batteries are much better than ni-cad batteries. That's why all laptops, cell phones and electric cars use them. 3. There is an attachment to use the Makita blower as a cordless vacuum. It is a very powerful cordless vacuum. Speaking of charging time for nicad batteries, it may be a good idea to run the battery almost completely down before charging again to avoid what is known as the "memory" problem which can reduce the battery's capacity significantly. dcarch |
- Posted by cloudy_christine (My Page) on Mon, Apr 11, 11 at 9:41
Oh, tha Makita works as a vacuum? That would have tempted me greatly, but still not enough to spend so much money. I just assumed that no lightweight blower could do that. Thanks for the tip on letting the battery run all the way down. Didn't people once say that about laptops? Maybe years ago some of them didn't have lithium batteries. Or do lithium batteries also have the memory problem? |
Yes, it is important to be aware of the characteristics of nicad batteries. Nicad cells are 1.2 volts each, to make up 18v, you need 15 individual cells, if one of the cells goes bad, the entire pack will not work. Li-ion cells are 3.3 to 3.7 volt each, to make up to 18v, only 5 cells will be needed. In a Makita battery pack, they use 5 pairs of paralleled cells for more power, therefore chances for a bad cell is much less than that of nicad packs. Li-ion charging time is about an hour, vs. nicad, which is more than 8 hours. That's why I suggest getting a spare battery so that you can get your cleaning task done, not half way done. Here is a video (not my video) showing how small the Makita is. Here is my video showing my cordless blower used in my shop for vacuuming. I didn't have to buy a bag for vacuuming. An old sock works fine for me. dcarch |

1. The Trapezius
The first thing is oil. Any good massage oil from a health-food store will work. Some favorites from around the home: jojoba or grape-seed. Make sure that the recipient is in a comfortable seated position in front of you. Place your hands on her shoulders and grab the trapezius the big muscle that leads from the neck to the shoulders, the one everybody loves to have rubbed. Shake it a little bit back and forth. Squeeze it, rub it. Push up against the neck a little bit and move down toward the shoulders. Don't be afraid of using too much pressure. If your partner moans or says, "That's the spot," stick with it.
2. The Shoulder Blades
Then move on to the shoulder blades. Pay particular attention to the space between the shoulder blades and the vertebral column. Use your fingertips to rub back and forth between the vertebral column and the shoulder blade. Be vigorous. And whatever you're massaging when she says "That's the spot," stay on that spot.
3. The Vertebral Column
Run your thumbs down each side of the spinal column. Push them into the back and move all the way down without touching bone. Never massage bone. Go up and down one side and up and down the opposite side.

ASX chief to quit in 2011
PUBLISHED: 29 Sep 2010 11:00:00 | UPDATED: 01 Oct 2010 09:53:16PRINT EDITION: 29 Sep 2010
Robert Elstone will not renew his contract with the ASX. Photo: Jim Rice
The operator of the Australian stock exchange, ASX, is searching for a new chief executive, after the incumbent, Robert Elstone, said he would not renew his contract.
Mr Elstone's contract expires on July 11, 2011, but the ASX Ltd board has agreed to pay him $750,000 for the right to terminate it up to three months early if they find a replacement who can start earlier.
The deal also will keep Mr Elstone on deck for up to three months longer if necessary.
Mr Elstone's departure was announced by ASX Ltd chairman, David Gonski, in his address to shareholders at the company's annual general meeting in Sydney on Wednesday.
"The Board has resolved to embark upon a process (which will include appointing an executive search firm) to find Robert's successor," Mr Gonski told the AGM.
"This search will include candidates from both within ASX and from outside."
"We have agreed to pay Robert a lump sum of $750,000 in return for this flexibility and in recognition of the fact that he has not received any new grant of performance rights under the Group's long-term incentive plan since December 2007," Mr Gonski said.
Mr Elstone said the ASX was "well-prepared to meet upcoming challenges and to prosper next year and beyond", after outlining changes necessary to meet market regulation requirements following the "flash crash" that was integral to the global financial crisis.
"In the past six months, we have put in place an organisational structure with the executive bench strength fit for the next era of ASX.
"I have indicated to the board that it is also time to address the issue of CEO succession, well in advance of the expiry of my term as managing director and CEO."
Mr Elstone has been ceo of the combined ASX and Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) for five years, following six years heading the SFE prior to merger.
"In my view, a new era for ASX should be accompanied by new ASX leadership," he said.

i'm going to go off a bit off topic here, so here goes, and it's taking me alot of nerve towrite this to you all toread! 2 weeks ago today, the sherrif arrived atour door to evict us, the reason missed mortgage payments, this is because we never got the papers when renewal time came and when you sign then your payments are taken automatically out of your account on the first of the month. i spoke to my nice sister in law one of the ones out of town and told her what was going on, she inturn spoke to Al's aunts in the states,from there aunts from our city called all upset for us. well the aunts from the states are lending us the payments which we owe the bank, however, Al's sister here in town called me on friday (we are to be evicted that day only at 1 pm). and tells me i'm stupid and that i don't do anything all day! i tell her calmly since she is screaming at me that she should try and bethehusband,wife,mother and father, and everything else, she says that's a bunch of BS and continues yelling at me and wants Al and i to fax a paper with our signatures toour bank soshe can discuss our financial situation (she also wanted toknow how much i spend on groceries, gas andmeds, when i only tell her about 800.00 inmeds(the rest isn't her busines) she tells me i'msuch a liar. in the meantime the aunts have wired the money to the bank and the sister in law comes banging at the door, and stomps into out bedroom where she starts screaming at Al, i tell her to keep the noise down (the windows are alsoopen) and be careful not to unspet Al anymore than he is, she says that's tough, and keeps on yelling, i tell her again to keep it down that carley is sleeping, she screams again, "she's 18 yrs old, and she should be up and i don't care", then Al's all upset and this is the 2nd time i think i've heard him yell, but he told her to getout, she then said she wouldn't leave until everything is settled. after 5 minutes she justslammed the door and left! there wasnothing to settle the aunts took care of everything,weinturn had papers made upthat we would repay them, since Al is getting a very large inheritance. on saturday, theother mean sister came totown because on sunday there was a tree dedication for deaths in 2005 and they bought a 250.00 for her. this sister never even picked upthe phone to see if we were okornot, we figurethe intown sister made up one dandy story. i justhad to get this off my chest, Al says there is no way he can forgive her, this time and i agree. we are amazed that she didn't care if he has heart problems or not, he musthave sprayed himself with nitro-spray 8 times! she had no compassion for us if we had been evicted and said so. on a happy note, tonite our daughter is at her Grad Dinner and Dance, andyes don't worry, she has acell phoneand is notto get into a car where anyone has beendrinking or doing drugs! debbie |

Hi Deb, Sorry you are having to go thru all of this. I have been bless to have reasonable sane family, but they all live in another state far away from us, so I am sure that has helped us to remain civil to each other. I do not understand why family has to be so nasty--and I guess I never will. Glad you came to this "family" to vent. You know we are always here to listen-hope that helps you in a small way.

hi Connie! it's good to hear from you! i thought about you yesterday when i was in my flower garden and saw the most prettiest yellow butterfly! this family is so weird i don't know what they want orexpect and i'mso glad Al never got any of their genes! just turned on the fireworks, (isn't Carman the most beautiful woman, wish i could wear the hat she has on!). canada day is on saturday here and we will have fireworks here at the marina, pretty tiny, buts it's nice to see peopleout,wewillstayathomethough and since we live on the hill, we will be able to see them from our ramp. Thanks for listening to me, and you are right, this family is the best! debbie |
Hi Deb, That is truly a sad story, and sorry you had to deal with such a problem. With Al's condition I would not think they would evict or even could. Here in the states, they have to give you 30 or more days, and then with certain condtions, they wouldn't be allowed to, other than giivng yo ample time to find another living condition. As far as the sister, she was rude in my opinion to come into your home, and ask such questions. I would have booted her out on her behiney real quick. I am glad you got the situation under control and I hope Al wasn't to upset. I can't imagine people let alone family members acting with such rudeness. Ohhhh you don't do anything, well let themn try to handle ,a sick husband and family like you do. You don't owe any explanation on any of your finaces or personal business, other than to the Aunt who was trying to help. Stand your ground girl. Hoep things are fine now, you don't need extra added stress!!!! HUGS Gabby |
Hi Deb, I hope by now things have settled down for you and Al and I hope Al is feeling better. What a horrible, horrible thing to happen to you. Sadly, I can believe that family can behave that way. You've been taking care of Al for so long and raising your children, you'd think you wouldn't have to explain anything to them but some people need to be knocked over the head in order to figure out what is going on. My motto is what goes around, comes around. You just keep lovingly caring for your family...the rest will take care of itself. Again, I hope things have settled and you are doing okay. Warm regards, Mimi |

Hi Deb, I just wanted you to know that I think of you often, I am so sorry you are having to go through this kind of junk. That SIL would never have made it in my house , she would have been drop kicked to the curb. I don't like drama and if it starts in my house I stop it. Where does this woman get off. She needs to mind her own business and I would tell her so. You are a very strong woman to be able to handle that situation. If it had been me. I would have went off like a time bomb. You can say what you want about me, but not my family. Sorry for rambling, but glad you got things straightened out. Hope your hubby didn't get too upset or at the least got calmed down. Take care of yourself. Patty |

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 Spot!
Facts about Spot
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Spot's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This is spot! He is an adorable 3-4 month old terrier mix looking for his forever home. He is already about the size of a full grown Jack Russell Terrier, so he will be a larger medium-sized dog when full grown. He is crate trained, but needs work on leash walking and basic commands. He is a happy, friendly boy who loves everyone and just wants to play!
The adoption fee for Spot is $275 and covers deworming, neuter surgery, and vaccinations up until adoption. If interested in adopting Spot, please call his foster Jessica at 619-417-7573 or email Jessica at firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Big Dawgs Rescue - Livermore Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Spot, a Livermore Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Livermore, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier puppy from a breeder in Livermore.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Livermore 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 Livermore 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 Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Livermore paves the way for another one to be saved.

New PsycBooks
Last month, the PsycBooks database added two new titles as well as 10 classic titles. A full list of the new titles is here
These are the two new titles:
Caregiver Family Therapy: Empowering Families to Meet the Challenges of Aging 2012 By Sara Honn Qualls, PhD and Ashley A. Williams, PhD
"This book presents Caregiver Family Therapy (CFT), a systems approach to treating families that care for an aging adult. CFT consists of three core stages: Identifying the problem; Structuring caregiver roles; Ensuring caregiver self-care. Full of rich clinical examples, this book will help therapists and other service providers meet the complex, diverse needs of caregiving families"

Aerosmith frontman and American Idol judge Steven Tyler has teamed up with Andy Hilfiger (you guessed it—Tommy Hilfiger's brother) to design the Steven Tyler for Macy's 'Andrew Charles' collection.
Steven Tyler is the inspiration behind the collection, meaning you can expect to see lots of leopard print, eclectic pieces, flared jeans, and hopefully a ton of leather. Tyler will also star in the ads alongside his lookalike daughter Chelsea Tyler, who is the spitting image of her father.
The Steven Tyler for Macy's 'Andrew Charles' will launch in Macy's stores in September with a collection of scarves, which the frontman is well-known for rocking on a regular basis, simply called Rock Scarf, rolling into Macy's locations in October.
Look out for this collection as it's sure to have some great additions to your fall wardrobe.

Billings Mayor Tom Hanel painted a picture of a dynamic, bustling city for the Downtown Rotary Club Monday, but also noted that public safety concerns — and the money needed to keep the public safe — could challenge residents and city officials in the months and years to come.
Hanel, a club member and retired Billings police lieutenant, delivered his annual state of the city report to Rotarians, who meet at noon most Mondays at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The biggest challenges for the city are "the growing demands on public safety," he said.
Police and firefighters handled about 75,000 calls for service in 2013 — nearly 70,000 by police, or almost 200 calls per day.
"You never know until you arrive how important or how frightening the call might be," he said. "This is obviously a big concern of mine."
Nine police officers were on patrol per shift when Hanel began his service to the police department in the mid-1970s, and nine officers are on duty per shift now, he said, handling calls for service "that are now potentially much more dangerous" in a city that's grown both in square miles and population.
"You've all seen police cars at doughnut shops and restaurants, and I love doughnuts as much as anyone else," Hanel said, "but those days are long gone."
After his speech concluded, Hanel said he believes it's appropriate for the city council to periodically review the police department's use-of-force policy, but not necessarily as a result of last week's fatal shooting of Richard Ramirez, 38.
"The level of threat toward officers has escalated," he said. "They are experiencing increased use of weapons and mind-altering drugs. It's always been a dangerous occupation. I worry about our police officers, and about public safety (providers) in general."
He also said he agreed with Billings Police Chief Rich St. John that officers could increasingly find themselves in use-of-force situations in the future.
Government structure
Hanel also urged voters to consider whether they want to explore potential changes in the city's form of government, as Montana law requires every decade. They'll decide on the June ballot whether to do that or not, and, if the measure is approved, in November would elect members of the commission charged with evaluating the form of government.
He also cited a few statistics to back up his claim that the Magic City "has been elevated in many ways" of late:
— More than 400 single-family homes were constructed in 2013, and Billings saw about $400 million in total construction. "No city in 500 miles can say that," Hanel said. And those buildings in large part went up without much delay: the average review period for a commercial structure was 20 days; it took officials an average of four days to review and issue a residential building permit, he said.
— MET Transit is exploring using smaller and more efficient buses to expand its services and now offers free rides to veterans to and from the new VA clinic on the West End.
— The 120 or so volunteers who assist the police department contributed about $300,000 worth of work and reduced officer overtime in 2013.
— Five hotels opened in 2013, and the Northern Hotel underwent a $20 million upgrade. A 220,000-square-foot Scheels store set to open this fall will employ 300 people and will be the nation's second-largest all-sporting-goods store.
— City leaders saved taxpayers $6.9 million in interest payments in 2013 by refinancing, something "that they could have easily overlooked," Hanel said. The 2013-14 budget is $2.5 million smaller than that of the previous fiscal year.

One smart puppy. It would be so much easier if he had settled for "consumption" instead of "desire," but he didn't. I marvel (now that you mention it), that consumption never attracts the moral umbrage of his followers, whereas they've immunized desire with their puerile misappropriation of Jesus and their claim that the Fifth Amendment is a guarantor of property, which (obviously) is allocated by God's grace. Sorry to mention it; but there is no Locke, anymore.

On Monday, Dec. 15, the Glen Rose Lady Beavers took a road trip to Bismarck to face the Lady Lions and came away with a big 42-39 conference win. Christian Cooper led the Lady Beavers with 17 points. Katie Dorsey added 14 points for Glen Rose, including making seven of her 10 free throws in the fourth quarter.
For the full story, see the Thursday, Dec. 18 edition of the MDR.
On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Poyen High School hosted conference foe Mountain Pine for a set of games, coming out victorious in each one. In the first match up, the Junior Indians dispatched of Mountain Pine by the score of 44-27. The game was all tied up at 8-8 after one quarter, but the Poyen offense came alive in the second quarter to take a 22-12 lead into the locker room for the halftime break. The Junior Indians continued to pressure Mountain Pine in the third quarter and led 32-21 heading into the final six minutes of the game.
If not for a big third quarter by Jessieville, the Malvern Leopards could have picked up a big road win against one of the more talented teams in the 3A Classification on Tuesday, Dec. 16. The Lions were able to pick up the win against Malvern by the score of 65-54. The Leopards trailed just 9-7 after one quarter and the margin remained at two (25-23) at the halftime break. But in that third quarter, Jessieville outscored the Leopards 23-12 to put Malvern in a deficit they could not overcome.
I do love the college football bowl season. Aside from March Madness, it is one of my favorite seasons of the year, but something has changed that has made getting to a bowl so much less significant. There was a time where the bowls were confined to just a couple of days around the start of the year and only the best of the best were allowed to compete. Don't get me wrong, I think it was beyond time that the playoff system got underway, only the bowl system seems to be getting bigger and bigger each year.
For the full column, see the Wednesday, Dec. 17 edition of the MDR.
On Friday, Dec. 12, the Bismarck Lions basketball team hosted the Woodlawn Bears and came away with a 39-27 victory. The Bismarck defense was in top form, holding Woodlawn to just two points in the first quarter and seven points overall in the first half. The Lions' offense was on point, taking a 10-2 lead after the first eight minutes and an 18-7 lead into the locker room for the halftime break. Bismarck maintained its 11-point lead at the end of the third quarter, leading 29-18 on their way to victory.
For the full story, see the Wednesday, Dec. 17 edition of the MDR
The Poyen Indians and Lady Indians remained perfect in 5-2A Conference play on Friday, Dec. 12 with a home sweep against Mount Ida. The night started with a junior girls game, which was won by the Junior Lady Indians 43-33. Poyen held a slim 18-15 lead at the end of the first quarter and the margin remained the same as the two teams went into the halftime break with score at 25-22. The Junior Lady Indians extended their lead slightly in the third quarter to lead 33-28 heading into the final six minutes and pulled away at the end for a 10-point win.
On Friday, Dec. 12, Magnet Cove High School welcomed England High School for a set of basketball games. The home-standing Panthers had a rough night, with both of the boys' teams in action receiving losses. The first game of the night was a seventh-grade game, which England picked up a 19-8 victory.

Dr. Linkous is as good as it gets when it comes to a pediatrician for my kids! She's the best!!
Dr. Linkous is amazing. She has been so good with Joseph and with helping us with all his needs. Joseph isnt afraid of coming to the doctor like most kids his age and I think that has to do with the time she spends with him and making sure she knows what is going on with him. She listens to us and makes sure she knows whats going on before does anything.
Dr. Linkous is wonderful. We love all the doctors there. Drs. Pashayan and Haas are great as well.
Dr. Linkous is the BEST doctor I have ever seen, couldn't ask for a better pediatrician for my kids! She is always concerned with whatever issue my children have and is very thorough in figuring out what's going on and getting it resolved.
Dr. Linkous is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WFU is so lucky to have her and so are we!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Linkus is not our usual pediatrician but she was wonderful and sweet with the kids and helpful.

Bapco MobileMark 2012 1.5
Version and / or Patch Used: 2012 1.5
Developer Homepage: http://www.bapco.com
Test Homepage: http://www.bapco.com
MobileMark 2012 1.5 is an application-based benchmark that reflects usage patterns of business users in the areas of office productivity, media creation and media consumption. Unlike benchmarks that only measure battery life, MobileMark 2012 measures battery life and performance simultaneously, showing how well a system design addresses the inherent tradeoffs between performance and power management.
In our battery life test, the Extreme II 120GB delivered significantly more notebook time on battery power than both the 840 Pro and Vector. The drive fell a little behind the only retail 2.5" LSI SandForce B02 stepping we have in our lab, but the battery life was very close to it.
This is a big win for SanDisk considering all of the work that went into improving SF-2281's battery life. We generally don't see products based on Marvell hardware getting anywhere close to this level.
PCMark Vantage HDD Test - Power Draw
Here we see that the how Extreme II comes so close to B02 levels. B02, a.k.a ADATA SX900 128GB has lower idle power consumption, but Extreme II isn't far behind.


text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 572 - 21 October, 2003 Written Answers. - Legislative Programme. Mr. J. O'Keeffe Mr. J. O'Keeffe 130. Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason there have been such delays in the reform of the charities legislation; and the measures now proposed. [24080/03] Mr. N. Ahern Mr. N. Ahern Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern): I agree with the Deputy that the reform of charities legislation has been under consideration for a long time. The examination and research on the reform which has been undertaken during the past 13 years have given rise, in particular, to the Costello, 1990, Burton, 1996, and Law Society, 2002, reports, as well as to the review of existing law in certain common law jurisdictions, for which Arthur Cox was the lead consultant, 2002. For that reason, priority was given in An Agreed Programme for Government to move from examination and research into the action phase, with a commitment to enact a comprehensive reform of the law relating to charities in order to ensure accountability and to protect against abuse of charitable status and fraud. A charities regulation unit was set up in my Department in February 2003. A draft consultation paper on establishing a modern statutory framework for charities is being prepared and I hope to be in a position to secure Government agreement to its publication shortly.
