PTA Outstanding State Advocacy Award (2014)
New York State PTA is being honored with this award for their work to educate families, teachers, and communities about the Common Core State Standards. As a result of New York State PTA's consistent support of the standards, they were asked to collaborate with the New York Education Commissioner on supporting family understanding of the standards. New York State PTA partnered with the New York State United Teachers to craft the Parent's Guide to Common Core Learning, released in July 2013. To date, the brochure has been distributed to thousands of individuals around the state. New York State PTA also created the "Hear Our Voice" campaign, a highly successful effort to educate and engage families around the Common Core standards.
PTA Outstanding Local Advocacy Award (2014)
Maggie L. Walker Governor's School PTSA
Appomattox Regional Governor's School PTSA
The Maggie L. Walker Governor's School PTSA and the Appomattox Regional Governor's School PTSA (Virginia) are being jointly honored with this award for their collaborative campaign to address state funding for full-day Academic Year Governor's Schools in Virginia. Following extensive research of possible solutions to a funding shortage problem, the PTSAs identified a discrepancy in the state funding formula for Academic Year Governor's Schools that provides considerably less funding for full-day schools when compared to part-day schools. Members of both PTSAs educated themselves around the Virginia budget process and state education funding formulas and united to form an advocacy partnership. As a result of their joint effort, budget amendments to address the state funding discrepancy have been introduced in the Virginia State House and Senate.
Shirley Igo Advocate of the Year Ambassador Award (2014)
Yvonne Johnson
Yvonne Johnson is being honored with this award for her outstanding efforts as a Delaware PTA volunteer and leader. As a result of Yvonne's advocacy to include more meaningful family engagement in education, Delaware PTA was given a seat as the parent voice on Delaware's P20 Council, an inclusive organization designed to align Delaware's education efforts from early childhood to post-secondary education and workforce readiness. Additionally, Yvonne regularly participates in roundtable discussions, contributes op-eds, and provides information to the media related to Delaware PTA's advocacy, including providing public comments opposing the use of class size waivers which has resulted in Delaware schools districts reconsidering their position on the issue. She has also advocated that PTA representatives be included on a state task force to review and revise Delaware's charter school code to ensure that parent and community input is a formal part of the charter school application process. Yvonne is the immediate past-president of Delaware PTA, and currently serves as their Federal Legislative Chair.
Youth Advocate of the Year Ambassador Award (2014)
Gabriel Unruh
Gabriel Unruh is being honored with this award for his efforts to save student lives by educating youth on the dangers of texting while driving. Gabriel organized a Kansas City "Arrive Alive" event that brought school, community and law enforcement groups together and was covered by all Kansas City metro news outlets. As part of this effort, he oversaw over 100 volunteers; published editorials on distracted driving in Kansas City local newspapers; and effectively used social media to promote the campaign. The "Arrive Alive" event was attended by over 1,000 high school students and community members, and received support from over 25 businesses and government agencies. The event was such a success that local non-profit organizations and two neighboring districts have already approached Gabriel for next year's efforts. Gabriel is in the process of submitting to the Missouri Department of Transportation an official action plan and proposal to create a model "Arrive Alive" program for schools across Missouri. Gabriel is a member of the Platte County High School PTSA.

A second trailer has been made for the screen adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie's Half of A Yellow Sun.
This trailer of the historic epic book on the Biafran War "Half of A Yellow Sun" shows Nollywood diva Genevieve Nnaji looking so well in her small, but unforgettable role as "Ms Adebayo" with a cigarette in her left hand, ending rumors that her part was edited out of the film.
If you blink you might miss her in her Afro wig and red dress.

We have had three freezes so far, but most of my roses have kept on going like the Energizer bunny! Hope there aren't too many images here;
The first one is one I was about to shovel prune, since I have had it for three years and it hardly ever bloomed. It wasn't in a very sunny place. So, this late summer, I put it in a pot and here is what it is doing now! Good thing I didn't SP it! But, it better start blooming more! Here is STILE 800 when it first opened: And, here it is today more than a week later, fully opened. Here is the hybrid tea CALIFORNIA DREAMIN': And, here is the hybrid tea MILVA: Here is the shrub rose ROBERT CLEMENTS: This is ESTELLE DE MEILLAND. It is a florist hybrid tea and I have been waiting for days for it to open more, but it has been very slow, like all florist roses. I wanted to show the light yellow-tan reverse, but it doesn't show up much here. Here is the striped HT CABANA. It really likes the cool weather - which it doesn't experience a lot here! Here is a wonderful single floribunda called FIELD OF DREAMS: And, here's another wonderful floribunda and it has a great scent JULIO IGLESIAS: Here's POPE JOHN PAUL II, in all it's splendor: LOVESTRUCK is one of my favorite floribundas: And, finally, ROUTE 66 just keeps on truckin'! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow! Love your photos, esp PJP and the sky. STILE 800 sounds luscious! Thx for sharing. Sandra |
Wow! Beautiful roses! ESTELLE is really hard to photograph accurately, like most of the rust colored ones. But your bloom is beautiful even if we can't see the real color. And don't you just love that FIELD OF DREAMS? I especially love it when it gets a few steaks or stripes on it. And that's a great shot of PJPII with that beautiful sky in the background! |
Very impressive shots! I love the way cool weather gives rose blooms longer life. Thank you for adding comments. |
Incredibly beautiful photos, Snowheather. Especially love the picture of POPE JOHN PAUL II under the clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds. Really wonderful!! Thanks for sharing these with us! :O) Debbie |

Beautiful roses again, snowheather! Your roses all look so picture perfect! Stile 800 seems to turn into a wonderful rose. I have never heard of it. You must be very happy that you didn't discard it. Pope John Paul II is my favorite white rose and I grow it in my garden, too. I love your photo of it with the sky as a back ground. Thanks for sharing your last beauties of this year! Christina |
- Posted by snowheather 8a-DFW-TX (My Page) on Fri, Dec 10, 10 at 9:27
Thanks everyone! STILE 800 is a Roses Barni rose I bought from Roses Unlimited. I also have two others from Roses Barni and they are slow getting adapted here, too. But, now I see that I have to be patient! |
Great picture of Pope John Paul II. Your roses look really nice. Masha |
Wonderful rose pictures. We had our first really hard freeze a few weeks ago, so it's nice to see that you have some still going. I can't really pick out a picture I like the best as they are all so gorgeous. I've been looking at Robert Clements for years now, just didn't know how he would perform in our heat. Milva catches my eye as I'm on the search for the perfect orange blend cut flower. California Dreamin looks to be first rate too. The beauty is that there aren't any thrips around now to dispoil the blooms. Thanks for posting these beauties....Maryl |
- Posted by snowheather 8a-DFW (My Page) on Sun, Dec 12, 10 at 21:21
Maryl, I don't think your climate is hotter than here in North Texas, and ROBERT CLEMENTS seems to like it here. The only drawback is how long it takes to grow the tiny Heirloom bands. My MILVA is on fortuniana rootstock and blooms all the time. It needs regular spraying, though. CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' is a beauty and blooms a lot. It does not have exhibition centers all the time, but who cares? Yes, all of mine are doing fine with no bugs around. I took more pictures this morning, because we are getting a hard freeze and that should be that until spring! Now post some of yours to keep us dreaming of roses! |
- Posted by liane_z4_canada (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Dec 13, 10 at 22:04
We had to shovel 2 times today and once last night. The kids had a day off of school, it was an official snow day. My roses are so far under the snow. Seeing your pictures makes me want to move. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. I think 3 of these might end up in my garden come spring. |
Snowheather: I almost feel like I know you as my sister lives in the Dallas area and I used to come down and visit her all the time. She's not a gardener, but she took me around to various nurseries and gardens when I came down anyway. Yes, we are as hot as DFW, but just not for as long(although it seems long enough to me), about 3 weeks difference in when your spring starts and ours does. I don't want to butt into your beautiful thread with my roses, so here's one of my sister's "Exotic" cat (Exotic is a cross between a Persian and a short hair). His name is Pooh or Poohy: |
- Posted by snowheather 8a-DFW-TX (My Page) on Tue, Dec 14, 10 at 10:33
That kitten is adorable! I used to have a Scottish Fold and they are half British Short Hair, and I can see the resemblance in the cute face! Maryl, and others, if you are in the Dallas area in spring or fall, come see my garden! I am President of the Dallas Rose Society and also a member of the Collin County Rose Society and am on their spring garden tour. Also, we will be having the South Central Regional Convention next fall and would so love for you to come. My garden will be one of the many on tour. Vicki |
Vicki: Did you make it to the regionals this fall in Tulsa?...I'll tell my sister you liked her cat. She thought about a Scottish Fold for awhile but settled on this breed because she likes the persian type nose. Personally my 4 cats are just what God decided to send my way(rescues), but I love them all......Maryl |
I have been looking for the "Field of Dreams" Rose Could you tell me where I could get one? I can not seem to even find where I can purchase on the web. Best Regards Kelli my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com |

Good Samaritans attempted to revive a man after the semi-truck he was driving veered off I-90, but he was pronounced dead and police have requested an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Rand Stiles, 55, of Cold Water, Mich., was driving the truck just after 5 p.m. on Monday, when the vehicle left the Interstate and broke through a fence, the trailer ending up on County Road 104. Three witnesses attempted to help the man, who they could see through the window was still breathing. The trucks doors were locked; one witness was able to break the window, and the three attempted CPR. A passing emergency medical technician arrived to help, with medical equipment, but the Samaritans and ambulance workers were unable to revive him.
Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand said the autopsy may be able to pinpoint whether there was a medical condition that caused the driver to lose control of the truck.

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 Wilbur!
Facts about Wilbur
- Breed: Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: he's got soul..
Wilbur's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
You would be so happy to meet this little guy, kind of an old soul. And believe us when we say, you won't be sorry if you adopt this little bundle of snuggles! His tail wags and he is soooo happy.
Wilbur was being dumped at the shelter by his owners who didn't want to take care of him any longer. We rescued Wilbur and his brother Austin. They are pretty lucky since they didn't have to go into the shelter! We had him neutered and groomed and his teeth cleaned! Wilber is up to date on shots and are bundles of love. Wilbur gets along great with other dogs, but also isn't afraid to let his boundaries be known.
We are Lucky Pup Dog Rescue in San Diego, a California non profit dog rescue. (#3400209) We require a home check, application (that can be downloaded on our website www.luckypupdogrescue.com) and a donation to our rescue -- a minimum of two hundred dollars, this supports our work with rescue dogs. He is wormed and has flea meds on board!
Other Pets at LUCKY PUP DOG RESCUE.com
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wilbur, a san diego Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in san diego, or seeking a Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in san diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in san diego 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 san diego 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 Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in san diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yeah, based on above, I'd feel okay about /lib/share/foo personally, linked to from /usr/share/foo on both bare rootfs with no mounts, and standard /usr. (Similar for /usr/lib/foo to /lib/foo.) If it's in /usr/{share,lib}/dir/* then the possibility at least of moving it fairly simply, exists. Otherwise you're into dealing with a build-system of one sort or another.

This product is amazing! I have naturally curly hair and it striaghtens it like no other product! Cut down on the styling time and makes my hair so smooth! Would highly recommend this product!
I have very wavy and frizzy hair and have always had the best success with KMS Flat Out but I have to say that I like Straight much better. I didn't have to use as much product and my hair was very soft and manageable and didn't feel goopy.
A little pricey but it DOES WORK! Doesn't leave your hair wavy or too weighed down and stiff. Mine straightens right out and stays soft. Recommended if all others seem to leave wave.
An effective wax/gel balm that you apply to wet hair before drying. The wetter your hair when you start, the better the result. It has no effect at if you air-dry. On fine hair with a tendency to waviness, a small drop is all it take to encourage and hold the straightness. It weighs hair down a little, so you have to be careful not to be over generous with application. A very effective product.
Straight is another good hair product from B&B especially if you are in an area with high humidity levels! I use this for those types of days and nights. You only need a little bit or else your hair can become un-managable. Adds a nice sheen to the hair as well.
I actually use this product to smooth out any firzzies when I wear my hair "curly"! It is ultra thick, but non-greasy. A definite winner as far as straightening balms go. A bit pricey though...
This product is so different than other straightening products I've ever used. I really don't feel extra weight or anything when I use it and it truly helps me straighten out my wavy hair..esp when I'm careful to put the product all through my hair. It even seems to reduce my drying time...don't know if this is really possible...but that's what it seems like. I would definitely recommend it. It's kinda expensive but a little product goes a long way

The Colorado Mammoth announced today that transition player Cameron Holding has signed a one-year agreement to return to the team for the 2013 season. He appeared in all 16 regular-season games for Colorado in his rookie season in 2012, forcing 11 turnovers.
"Cam played a major role in our success this past season," said Mammoth president & general manager Steve Govett. "He is a fast, aggressive young player who was part of our stellar rookie class."
Holding, 22, is a native of Whitby, Ontario. He played college lacrosse at Grand Valley State University (Mich.) and led the nation in goals and points as a senior. In a more defensive role with the Mammoth, Holding still scored four goals and four assists while collecting 51 loose balls.
Colorado opens the 2013 season at home on HealthONE Field at Pepsi Center on Saturday, January 12 against the Washington Stealth. Season tickets are on sale now and start at just $72 apiece. To reserve your seats today, call 303.405.1101.

London, December 1 (ANI): In Hitler's Germany, laws were being passed to discriminate viciously against Jews while teachers, doctors and lawyers are being bullied into joining the Nazi party, a new book has claimed.
In the Dirty Thirties, the "Downtown Abbey set" are dispatching their girls in pearls to Munich, to the birthplace of Nazism, to dance with the devil.
"Oh, it was absolutely normal for girls who would go on to become debs – especially musical ones – to be "finished" in Munich between the wars," the Sun quoted Anne de Courcy author of 'Debs (debutantes) At War' as saying.
"We met the Downton Abbey girls when they were grown up and – out – but I'm sure one of them would have been sent off to Munich for six months or a year before she was presented. The music, the architecture, the culture and the beauty of Germany was much admired," Courcy said.
Lady Anne Spencer – Princess Diana's aunt – was in Vienna in 1938 at the time of the Anschluss, when Hitler annexed Austria. So was the Hon Anne Douglas-Scott-Montagu, daughter of Lord Montagu.
Her cousin, Lady Elizabeth Montagu Douglas Scott, the daughter of the Duke of Buccleuch, who later married the Duke of Northumberland, was in Munich for two months to learn German and be "finished" in time for the shooting season in Scotland and hunt balls at Christmas.
In the inter-war years, the English upper-classes, desperate to avoid another war, cosied up to the jackboot. It all made sense at the time.
Munich, with its Wagnerian connections, was famous for music and general all-round culture. Girls would be sent there to acquire "polish", to learn German and gain a musical education.
There was a very strong bond between many upper-class English and German families – often of marriage – and, of course, our Royal Family was German, from the Hanoverian kings to Queen Victoria.
So peers of the realm would travel to Germany as a matter of course, impressed by the glamour, efficiency and excitement of the new regime and untroubled by the evil realities behind it.
At home, they would also queue to attend German Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop's tiara'd soirees in London. The list of guests reads like a Who's Who of the aristocracy and includes politicians such as Neville Chamberlain, families such as the Astors and even Sir Brograve and Lady Evelyn Beauchamp, the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, of Highclere – the very Berkshire castle where Downton Abbey is filmed.
The English upper classes, decimated by the First World War, were desperate to steer clear of another, and in Germany, this feeling was reciprocated.
Everyone in Germany made a huge fuss of the English girls, from Hitler down, not just because they were pretty, but because they were useful, too, as they would go back to England and rave about the smart uniforms – and the straight roads.
"My relationship with Claus blossomed and so did my German. He was very handsome, very blond, big and blue-eyed, rather like Boris Becker in his prime," late Jean Tongue, a teenager in Germany during the period, had said.
She remembers being ordered to salute Hitler at a Brownshirt rally and also seeing signs saying, "Juden nichterwunsch" (Jews not wanted) but it was the tea dances and attractive men that stayed with her.
She also said that the men were "madly elegant, arrogant and conceited lot, and had tremendous presence a" their uniforms immaculate, their selfesteem Perspex strong."
"Of course, they would have been very strictly chaperoned but even if they gave their host families the slip, their escapades were probably very innocent," Anne de Courcy said.
"I once interviewed 47 pre-war debutantes and only two of them knew the facts of life by the age of 18," she added. (ANI)

He has 2 years left of his original contract. He only has 2.5M remaining on original contract totaling 15M. Vikings have all the leverage. He isn't going anywhere and he cerainly isn't going to sit out for 2 years holding out. Nothing to see here. move along.....
We can get it done for a third.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/80...nesota-vikingsOne day after expressing frustration over several unspecified issues with the Vikings, Harvin has requested a trade, sources confirmed to ESPN.com's John Clayton. Harvin's demand had been earlier reported by The Associated Press.
I would not sign him because of the migraine issue.
What was the incident with him & Farve?
I don't remember right now. Didn't he somehow throw Brett under the bus when they were both there?
With his issues, I'd be extremely hesitant to give up anything more than a 4th. But I'd be very happy to get him for that price.

Swissbakers will launch their 14,000-square-foot flagship bakery at 168 Western Ave. by the end of the month, a rep tells Grub Street. (Their bovine mascot has been erected already, so things are definitely moving forward.) Expect European-style baked goods, coffee, quiches, sandwiches, and other "Swiss delicacies." Owner Thomas Stohrs even says that "bread doesn't make you fat," so we're feeling optimistic about this place.
On that note, everything is additive- and artificial-ingredient-free. Pretty much the only downside is that it's only open for breakfast and lunch. We could use some healthy bread to sop up those after-hours Allston beers.

I love vanilla and the body shop offer a nice affordable oil with a strong scent that lasts a decent amount of time, especially if put on the spots on your body that heat up!
More reviews by SorceressOfTheDark
My review is for the original Body Shop Vanilla Oil with the black cap. It was a dark oil that was strongly scented. I went through many bottles of it back in the 1990's and still have one left. Now on Ebay they are asking exorbitant dollar amounts for this original delectable scent and there is a reason why. If you were privy to it and remember it, there is nothing comparable to the original. I have searched since then for another vanilla and have not found anything anywhere near it yet.
The Vanilla Oil was a deep, scintillating gourmand that heightened people's awareness of what a true vanilla was without other notes mixed in. It didn't have any cloying sweetness to it. Nor did it have any florals that would interfere and mix with the scent. Its drydown would come and you would simply smell a warm, delicious slightly burnt vanilla that hinted of caramel, maybe of buttercream, but nevertheless, the amber kept the sweetness creamy and mellow. It was pure vanilla extract. It was a sexy vanilla, not a youngster's vanilla. It was almost a dangerous perfume to some men when applied. The sillage was strong and it lasted just about until you showered it off. It was a perfume that seemed to meld into your own skin.
One time, I was walking into my Doctor's office. He was holding the door for me, and as I walked past him, he sniffed the air and said, "Ahhh...there's the scent I crave so much." I turned and looked at him with surprise. I think he surprised himself when he said that, and stuttered, "I meant...is somebody baking cupcakes?" And then kind of laughed. That's when I knew the scent had some type of power. Needless to say, I never wore it again to that Doctor's office. It was that type of perfume tho. It made people sit up and take notice and comment. They would inhale and make some type of remark. It's one of the few perfumes I own that always garnered remarks.
Such a shame times have changed and they had to reformulate it. It was a beauty and I treasure the miniscule amount I have left of the original. The 2nd and 3rd versions are nothing like the original Body Shop Vanilla. I would only buy a vintage original Body Shop Vanilla again.

I am a big fan of vanilla scent and this vanilla oil smells so good and delicious. I am expecting more staying power from a scented oil thou. And the packaging is kinda annoying to use esp after i broke the wand..sigh.. I am so over the fence whether i will repurchase or not.. It is a really good warm comforting scent and also reasonably priced. I will repurchase if i didnt find a better vanilla scent.

I really like this fragrance. It's light and sweet, and has staying power. My only complaint is the wand used to apply the fragrance with. This makes it kind of annoying to apply. I wish it came in a roll-on.

- long lasting (oil)
- smells floral and sharp = not vanilla at all
- gives headache
- reformulated, old version is sorely missed by many.

I do so love Body Shop's perfume oils.. the old black-capped ones used to last forever and only required a little smear over the skin for loads of scent - so I was over the moon when I saw Vanilla back on the shelves.
Unfortunately, whilst it smells nice and I wanted this to be my signature scent, it barely lasts for 2 hours. Its a good thing its small enough to carry around for repeated applications or else I'd be completely scentless by the end of the day.
Disappointed by this "watered down" version. If you see a black-cap TBS perfume oil anywhere, I'd snag it immediately. As it is now, I doubt I'd ever buy another white-cap oil from them again.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this oil, but it's a bit too sweet for me. I prefer making my own vanilla oil, but I will continue to use this until I'm done with my bottle.
I just love this vanilla oil. I was looking for a sent that was of pure natural vanilla, and everything I was finding hade a spicy note, or amber in it. I asked for this particular vanilla oil for Christmas hoping it would be it. Well it was! I love the smell, and it's staying power. If you are looking for a true vanilla perfume that lasts this is it!
What happened to this oil, I use to be able to put it on and it stayed all day....amd smelled divine.....The one I just purchased from the Body Shop is watered down, doesn't even stay an hour....what a dissapointment.
I thought this product was discontinued, then I went into the Body Shop and there it was! I cannot describe how happy I was. For me, it smells like a spicy, smooth, creamy vanilla. Absolutely beautiful. This may be my absolute favorite smell in the world, along with Dyptique's candle Feu de Bois. And it is the absolute best for xmastime...for me, it smells of christmas, with the fireplace, cookies in the oven and beautiful candles all over. I usually wear Coco Mademoiselle but I really do prefer this perfume. I will be getting Bois Farine for xmas, and I have a feeling that it will layer quite well with this.

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 KiKi (4 paw declaw)!
Facts about KiKi (4 paw declaw)
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
KiKi (4 paw declaw)'s Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
I was found roaming outside and a nice lady took me in. She was going to keep me but she has a large dog and I am very afraid of her dog. I have no claws so I cant scratch anyone. The vet says I am a very healthy four year old girl. I love to play with the laser pointer or just catnip toys. I really like to sit in laps and get petted. If you would like more info on me contact Carole at email@example.com or 586254-4248
Other Pets at Cat Tail Kitties
Why Adoption is a Great Option
KiKi (4 paw declaw), a Sterling Hgts Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Sterling Hgts, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Sterling Hgts.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sterling Hgts 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 Sterling Hgts 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sterling Hgts paves the way for another one to be saved.

Southern Tier Gets Grants For Superstorm Sandy Recovery
04.24.14 |
A group of municipalities from the Southern Tier was among eight to win $3 million in additional storm-recovery aid at a state conference Wednesday near the Capitol.
Local governments in Broome and Tioga counties, as well as the Village of Sidney in Delaware County, will share one of eight $3 million grants.
The aid was awarded Wednesday as part of a forum hosted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to tout the state's program for distributing its share of $60 billion in federal disaster aid, which was approved by Congress after Superstorm Sandy hit in late 2012.
"If you are really going to rebuild communities, you can't do it from Albany, you can't do it from Washington," Cuomo said at the conference. "You have to do it community by community across the state, because in truth, every community is different."
Last year, Cuomo launched a program for municipalities to apply for about $600 million in federal grant funding to help rebuild from Sandy and tropical storms Irene and Lee, which hit parts of the Southern Tier and Hudson Valley in 2011.
To be eligible, a local government or group of local governments had to put together a plan detailing what they would plan to use the money on and how they would work with nearby communities.
In addition, a panel of state officials could distribute $3 million grants to plans deemed the best in eight categories. Cuomo announced those awards Wednesday, with the Southern Tier municipalities taking home the award for "best regional collaboration."
Vince Pasquale, a former Broome County legislator who co-chaired the committee that prepared the Southern Tier plan, called the funding "critical."
"These communities have worked together over the past seven months to identify projects that will not only improve critical infrastructure and facilities, but will make the Southern Tier more resilient to the impacts of future storm events," Pasquale said in a statement.
Other plans that received additional aid Wednesday included those submitted by Staten Island and the towns of Jay and Keene in the North Country.
Gurran Kane, co-chair for the Stony Point Community Reconstruction Program Committee, spoke at the conference and said Stony Point was "overwhelmed" from the storm surges after Superstorm Sandy and Tropical Storm Irene.
The village of Stony Point in Rockland County was allocated up to $3 million for 11 projects proposed in its community reconstruction plan. The plans include developing short and long-term emergency shelters and upgrades to critical infrastructure.
One of the proposed projects includes repairs to the Stony Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, which incurred about $1 million in damages after the storms, according to Kane.
"The Stony Point planning committee looked to arm this plant with things like waterproof pumps and water-resistant mechanicals to ensure continued operation," Kane said.

Picture this: you are 72 years old, female, and only recently arrived in this country from the only home you've ever known on the other side of the globe. It's cold out. There's a light mist in the air contributing to the chill. It's 5:00 AM, and you've just disembarked from the #7 bus a half a block north of Genesee. You don't speak any English. In the lightening dawn, you risk your life jaywalking across Rainier Avenue to join the small huddle of other people already gathered under a makeshift shelter outside the Rainier Valley Food Bank, where you will pull up an old milk crate to sit on and wait for the doors to open at 9:30 AM. This is the most important trip of your week.
By the time 9:30 rolls around, there are over 100 other people gathered around you – people of all walks of life, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, stories, religions. At some point you heard your native tongue spoken, and made several new friends. Somehow you navigate the crowd and line, and once you get inside, you see that your long wait was well worth it. Picturing your family back at your tiny flat – your husband who is too ill to be there with you, your sister, your niece, your nephew,...

For the past 19 years, folks from all the food banks and meal programs in Seattle have gathered in October for a special awards ceremony to recognize the leaders, volunteers and community partners who make a meaningful impact on the lives of the many who depend on our services. This year's Mayor's End Hunger Award for Outstanding Food Bank Staff was presented to me by Mayor Mike McGinn on October 18th at the Palace Ballroom in downtown Seattle.
I do not write about this great honor in order to toot my own horn, but rather to call particular attention to the many people in the family of Rainier Valley Food Bank volunteers, friends, and supporters who truly deserve this award – and what, together, we've accomplished this year. While the award plaque may bear my name, that's only because it's impossible to fit in such a small space the hundreds of names of those who ought to be recognized for their work in feeding southeast Seattle. It is merely my honor and privilege to serve as a conduit for this community's generosity and magnanimity.
We at RVFB have made great leaps forward this year. After our legendary food theft last November, the tremendous outpouring of community support suddenly...

At Rainier Valley Food Bank, stories permeate the walls, interweave themselves through human communications both physical and verbal, sometimes clash, sometimes jive, sometimes chip away at preconceptions to reveal new stories hiding in the midst of creative tension. These are stories of hope and of hardship, of pain and relief, of terrible beauty. These are human stories, as human as humanity gets, composed of bare-knuckled, raw, intensity that oftentimes evokes tears, laughter, bewilderment, sympathy and empathy, but always and above all else, profound respect.
I've always been a bit of an optimist, but never in my life have I found so readily at hand so many stories that inspire respect for my fellow human beings as there are to be found at the food bank. The stories we witness at the food bank – and these are not stories you simply hear, they are stories that reach straight into the core of the soul, touch the heart and rattle the spirit – can move even the hardest of hearts to open just a little to the ineluctable resilience of the human character. And by "respect," I'm not talking about social niceties, or behaving politely, although those things have their place. I'm talking real, gritty,...

Don't you love living in the most diverse neighborhood in all of our great nation? Personally, I wouldn't live anywhere else in Seattle. When crowds form in front of Rainier Valley Food Bank on distribution days, it's a microcosm of the entire globe squeezed into our tiny lot at 4205 Rainier Ave South: Asians, Africans, Europeans, North and South Americans, people from all quarters, large countries, small countries, islands you've never heard of, remote mountain villages, speaking a multitude of tongues, and coming from every conceivable background, with a million million stories to tell.
Every Wednesday and Saturday for me and my fellow food bank staff and volunteers are a bit like taking a whirlwind tour of our entire planet. And like travel, sometimes it's relaxing, sometimes it's stressful, sometimes it's the most incredible thing you've ever seen or heard in your life. You see beauty and pain, joy and hardship, frustration and gratitude. Two things are certain: 1. it is never, ever dull; and 2. everybody's got to eat.
Feeding a global village is rarely a simple matter. And like raising children, it takes the whole village, or in this case, the whole neighborhood. In the first...

Perhaps you've driven by the little white clapboard building tucked away from the road at 4205 Rainier Ave South on a Wednesday or Saturday morning. Perhaps you've noticed a crowd of folks lingering in the lot and wondered what the heck all those people could possibly be doing out there. That spot is home to the Rainier Valley Food Bank, where this year, we're putting food on the table for nearly 10,000 of our neighbors every month.
The crowd is a snapshot of the vast diversity of our zip code itself, and on any given distribution day, you are more likely to hear Cantonese, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Somali, Tagalog, or Spanish than English. If you're lucky, you might catch an elderly gentleman in line softly blowing Balkan folk tunes from the old country on harmonica. You might see a single dad clicking his heels with a smile leaving the building, knowing that his family will not only have food to eat this week, but a variety of quality foods that he and his several kids will enjoy.
I joined this food bank as its executive...

I have tons of frog tadpoles in my little fish pond and in several large buckets. If anyone wants some tadpoles/frogs for their pond or bog garden let me know. They are free to a good home-I will gladly accept any plant offerings though(I need more aquatic plants especially-but am always happy to take any bulbs, seeds, rooted cuttings, divisions, etc. of pretty much any kind of plant that you may extra of. I live in the Capitol View area of Atlanta (near downtown). |

that is incredibly tempting for the mere fact that i would love to throw them in the creek behind the house to eat the mosquitos. they'd get washed away at the first rain. curious, i take it you live in one of the houses on Hill or Kelly? i pass by every day, and leave about 12 blocks to your southeast (other side of zoo from you). |

I am a couple of exits west of the zoo- My house is about halfway between the University exit on 85 and the Lowery(formerly Ashby) exit on 20. There are a few spots near my job where rain water gathers and frogs keep laying eggs-but the water dries up sometimes-so, at those times, I do tadpole rescue missions and scoop up as many wriggly little tadpoles before they dry out. I have been putting them in my pond and now have had to put them in various other containers. Some of them have back legs and a few have frogged. Not sure what kind they are-maybe green/bronze frogs or wood frogs? Hard to tell when they are little. Just trying to do my part in the conservation of amphibians...but my little pond can't support hundreds of frogs and they will just start hopping off in search of a less crowded spot and will most likely be eaten by birds en route. Anyway, I love having froggy sounds(and other nature sounds) in the city. One of my pond frogs has lived in my pond since last summer and he/she is hardly ever scared of me-I toss worms his way and so I think he associates my presence with free worms now. |

Animal behavior is interesting, and it's amazing to me how tame they can be! I'm almost tempted to build a pond myself. I would do anything to counter the mosquitoes, which are UNBEARABLE right now. |

After years of drought-it's great to have rain...but I am not happy about the mosquito situation. I need some dragonflies and bats to take up residence here. I have found that it's pretty easy to keep a small pond as long as you have plenty of aquatic plants and NO KOI(they are destructive/gobbling up the live plants and they create a lot of waste requiring serious filtration-besides...goldfish-fantails, shebunken, etc get just as big, colorful and pretty in my opinion)-just goldfish. I have one little bog garden that is just a 20 gallon container with various plants in it-there is no filter or pump-the plants do all the work. I have had a couple of mosquito fish, aquatic snails, and platys(I think they are the same as guppies-they come in various colors and are at any pet store), and of course a million tadpoles living happily there for two or three months now. The water is very clear and the fish just eat mosquito larvae, algae and whatever else grows/shows up there. Sometimes I sprinkle flake food in there-or if I find mosquito larvae in standing water-I scoop them up with a little net and put them in the water and watch the fish chase them down. I have a pre-formed pond too, with a waterfall and my goldfish are in there. I am addicted now though...and want to build a bigger pond and make my pre-formed pond into the dedicated frog pond. Wow, I am rattling on...I think I do that when I'm tired! |

Test System Setup
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASRock, Sapphire, Western Digital, Noctua and Corsair.
Over the coming weeks we'll slowly add more and more memory modules to our graphs as we test more and more memory. For now, though, we'll have a look the Kingston LoVo HyperX kit mainly against itself. We'll also be including the Kingmax Hercules modules we looked at the other week at its stock speeds.
Let's get started!
Important Note: When modules are overclocked we adjust the BCLK which not only lets us fine tune the MHz out of a module, but in turn increases the overall CPU clock speed. While we always make the effort to include the BCLK and CPU Speed in our graphs, please just make sure that you make note of these when looking at the results. In some tests that don't purely test the memory speed the extra MHz on offer from the CPU can increase the result. Of course, it's worth noting that having faster memory gives you the ability to run your CPU at a higher speed.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.62
Developer Homepage: http://www.wprime.net/
Product Homepage: http://www.wprime.net/
wPrime uses a recursive call of Newton's method for estimating functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number we're sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested maximum.
The max OC gives us a nice little bit of headroom on our CPU which makes it come out quick under wPrime. You can see at 1866MHz DDR performance is worse due to the fact that our CPU is slower.

Working in the whitewater industry we get a few perks, such as being able to offer our families the opportunities to raft with us when they come to visit their kids who have defected from the North.
I'm one of those kids, and my mom comes at least once a year to raft with us.
My mom is fit, attractive, has a killer wardrobe, and swears that broccoli can cure any and all ailments. She's also always up for trying new things, even if it does make her a little nervous.
My mom's first rafting trip was on the Lower New River. She was all for it, and very excited. I would never use the word clumsy if I were to describe my mom, but that is exactly what I will use when describing my mother while whitewater rafting.
While rafting, you are given instructions on how to brace into the boat so you don't fall out so easily. For some reason, this concept seems to elude my mom. She never braces in, and it always seems like she's not paying attention. So, my Mom gets to swim quite a bit because of that.
Every time I would look around, there goes my mom, feet straight up in the air going over her head into the river. I think she fell in 3 different times on that first trip. She had a blast though, thankfully.
The following year she wanted a challenge, so we decided to give her a go on the Upper Gauley. I will admit I was concerned about her doing the Upper Gauley after her stellar performance on the New, but she did great. She braced all day, and paddled like a rock star. We were able to hit all the big holes, and surf all the waves while keeping her in the boat.
Although Mother's Day has come and gone, I still get a little nostalgic around this time of year. These were really great trips to experience with my mom, and they are memories that will last my lifetime.
Give your Mom the benefit of the doubt and take her whitewater rafting. I guarantee you will have a blast, and have great stories to tell the rest of the family.

Nathan and Mary Ann (HOOKS) BROOKSHIRE were among Stephen F Austin's "Old Three Hundred" colonists about 1821 in Texas. I have searched for her lineage but have had little success, though one source said she was born in SC. Carl Brookshire (thank you, sir!) said he has nothing more about her. The Handbook of Texas Online has more than a little information on Nathan, but nothing on Mary Ann. I would be most appreciative of any information regarding her, as she is the first Hooks in Texas that I'm aware of, though probably of no kin to me I'm most interested! Thank you, and I'm hoping. |

I'm pretty unimpressed with this product. I was really hoping it would be better. It does help set my under eye concealer pretty well, but that is about it. Doesn't seem to help control the oil breakthrough on my forehead or the longevity of my foundation. And despite being translucent, I can still see a slight whitish cast to my face. I use a soft powder brush to apply and apply pretty sparingly and still hit pan in only a month. I just bought a new finishing powder to try, so this one will go in my purse for touch ups, but I won't repurchase.
This powder literally did nothing because it is too packed into the pan I can barely any product out. I returned it immediately.
More reviews by therubyprincess
This just arrived today in an order I placed with Ulta. I like it. Very, very matte and does provide a velvety finish. The cons? The package looks pretty cheapo and I will bet it doesn't last for very long. Also, no sponge or brush to apply this with so picked up an ELF small face kabuki which really did a great job. So far no itching or caking. It's a tad light for translucent but far as I'm concerned, me likey.
Best pressed-powder I've ever tried, and I've tried them all! I have very very porcelain, very very sensative skin, and this is the first pressed powder that didn't look too dark or orange on me, and didn't make me break out. It also does what's it's supposed do, by setting your makeup and keeping oil at bay. If you are sensitive to talc, this won't work for you, but luckily, talc is one of the very few things that I don't have a bad reaction to. Also, if you have darker skin, this may not be as transluscent on you. For ladies like me though, who are fair-skinned, and want a powder with as few icky ingredients as possible, this is wonderful!
This work great as a finishing powder and it is light and not caked up on the skin; somehow, it will wear off a little on my skin, so I think it is important to carry this in your purse. I apply this with a retractable kabuki brush , I do not use the sponge it comes with because this will sometimes be too much powder.
This would have been a great translucent setting powder, but unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients and broke out really badly. If you have sensitive skin, I would try something else. For normal or oily skin, this would probably a good choice. It does set makeup all day and keep oil at bay. You only need to touch up once or twice throughout the entire day, even if you're pretty oily. You do need to use your own brush/applicator because it's not included.
More reviews by cherrybombVIXEN
Powderset is truly amazing Sets my makeup ALL DAY and keeps it fresh. Completely translucent, so you cant even see it. Makes my make-up waterproof. i use this along with velvet mineral (poweder not pressed). touch ups are a breeze and it doent cake on or make you look ashy. I apply it with a soft powder blush!..LOVE IT!
Too thick. Not translucent. MAC blotting is better.

This is a setting powder that comes in a compact. There is no puff included, so you need something to apply--I use a brush. It is translucent and very finely milled powder that sets foundation beautifully and does not settle into fine lines. I carry this in my purse and use it to powder my nose mid-day. After that, I'm good till I get home.
I have gone through this product much more quickly than with a traditional powder compact. I think this is because I use it regularly with a brush, not with a cosmetic puff that gets icky after a few uses (then I usually stop using and forget to replace the puff!). While the surface area of pressed powders typically gunks up on the top layer due to exposure to your face oil, this one has not and has remained as easy to use as the day I bought it. It has been a while, but I recall it was about $16 at Ulta. I will definitely purchase this again.
Contains .32oz/9g of product
Ingredients: Talc, Zinc Stearate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl, Propylparaben.

In August of 2008 a new take on a chassis was brought to the world via Microcool; with the main objective of their inception being that they specialize in "designing and developing component heat control products for computers". Over the years Microcool has released thermal solutions from coolers for chipsets, CPU's and even offers Thermattach (thermally conductive tape).That in mind, it only makes sense that if Microcool would develop a chassis, they would design the coolest version of all chassis designs, the tech-bench.
For those of you who aren't aware of such a chassis, they are an open air solution that offers ease of access to your components like no other solution. And on top of that, you get some of the best temperatures attainable due to the lack of anything to hold heat near the components. I have seen many concepts of tech-benches; some homemade, some like the Antec Skeleton version, but most are a setup of shelves spaced above each other with the motherboard laying on the top-most layer and all the components getting neatly tucked underneath. Basically, the designing and material choices are only limited by what people can afford, as they can truly be made from just about anything.
Microcool offered me the opportunity to have a look at their Banchetto 101 and I gladly accepted. I have seen this chassis, both in reviews and I personally know an owner and have seen his many images. Having a bit of a head start on the basic idea, I was excited to get one for myself and have a real close up look at how it all goes together and if it's going to look horrible with the parts I have to use. Taking action to a comment directed at my last "water cooled" chassis review, I hope not to disappoint this time around, as I will be mocking this up for water. Looks like I better get to work; let's have a look, shall we?

Ginnifer Goodwin had an easy week, huh? This week's Once Upon A Time took us away from the Snow versus Queen arc in favor of some plot-of-the-week fun, so we didn't spend too much time with our sweet-faced heroine. Instead, we focused on Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin and our sour-faced heroine (Jennifer Morrison), along with her many leather jackets. I wish I could say that we're closer to understanding the walking freakshow that is Rumpelstiltskin, but we're not. All we know at this point is that he values baby theft and drawing up contracts above all else. Don't ever try to rip him off! Seriously, don't. Let the tragic tale of Cinderella serve as your warning.
We began in Fairy Tale. There was an epic party going down at Prince Thomas' castle, but the Brittany Snow look-alike Cinderella wasn't on the list. Instead, she had to stay home and sweep -- poorly. Not much sweeping got done that night. But despite Cinderella's lack of work ethic, her fabulous Fairy Godmother arrived to promise a better, wealthier life. "This wand has the power to take you to your ball, to your prince, and to a..." KABOOM! She exploded into a ball of fire. Actually, it was more like "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boom." (Sorry.) Between this and True Blood, this was a really bad year for fairies on TV.
Of course this was all Rumpelstiltskin's doing, because the Queen was far too busy hating Snow White to meddle in Cinderella's mess. Rumpel showed up looking like a cross between the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Gollum from Lord of the Rings, supposedly to help Cinderella. He promised her the same life her Fairy Godmother was offering, but with a disclaimer attached: "All magic comes with a price." A fairly ominous warning, no? Also, this was a person who had just committed murder. But Cinderella didn't care -- she was just a naive social climber who really wanted to go to the ball. This scene made me really appreciate our bold and bright Snow White, who would have made a much wiser decision in this situation. Cinderella signed his shady magical contract without even reading it, and morphed into the beautiful young princess she'd always wanted to be. She was confused about the glass slipper thing, but Rumpel insisted that "every story needs a memorable detail."
Over in Storybrooke, Emma had to choose between a life of noncommittal leisure and a long-term relationship with Henry. I would stay in Storybrooke just for the chance to crash in Mary Margaret's sweet exposed-brick pad, but Emma wasn't so sure. That Henry can be a lot, you know? Sheriff Graham enticed her with a deputy job -- dental included, and totally behind Regina's back -- but that still wasn't enough to sway her. No, it would take Emma's number one pet peeve, a taunt from Regina, to reverse her ambivalence. Seriously, when is evil genius Regina going to realize that threatening Emma and/or telling her she won't do something will always yield the opposite of her intended result? Regina's actions lately have led me to believe that she too has forgotten her identity in Fairy Tale. She isn't playing the game as well as she could. Leaving Henry alone all of the time with Emma in town? Bad plan. If she can pay for the Benz, she can afford a babysitter.
Anyway, Regina found out that Emma had moved seven times in 10 years. This clearly means that she is flighty and irresponsible, giving Regina nothing to worry about. Smirk. "You carry on your transient life," she said. Yikes! I just counted and I've moved 11 times in 10 years, so what does that make me? Emma encountered Cinderella in the laundry room, but in our universe she's a sad 19-year-old pregnant maid named Ashley Boyd.
When Ashley complained that nobody thought she could handle her baby, a newly inspired Emma suddenly and unexpectedly launched into a motivational speech."There are no fairy godmothers in this world," she insisted. She would know -- she was pregnant at 18. Ashley should and could take her life into her own hands. If she wanted to be a mother, then dammit, she would be. Like John Locke, no one could tell her what she couldn't do. See what I mean about Regina's words having the opposite intended effect? Emma was talking as much to herself as she was to Ashley, all because Regina confronted her with her own faults.
