Crews from VAFB and the Santa Barbara County Fire Department responded and worked quickly to put out the fire.
The fire burned 1.75 acres.
At least one lane is closed in the area as fire crews clean up.

Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week Street Style: Day 3
50 Striking Street Style Looks From Day Three of Paris Fashion Week
>> Paris Fashion Week is in full swing — and the street style looks seem to be getting better by the moment. Day three had Giovanna Battaglia and Anna Dello Russo looking chummy — and chic — as they giggled their way across the Tuileries in equally eye-catching ensembles: A bright orange shift for Giovanna, and an oversized pearl fascinator for Anna. Leighton Meester turned up wearing a ruffled white off-the-shoulder frock, while Olivia Palermo was spotted in a sheer maxi skirt and lace blouse combo complete with oversized jade earrings. There were also plenty of fancy pants in the mix: Taylor Tomas Hill wore a sequined pair, Margherita Missoni wore a velvet periwinkle style, and Susie Lau stunned in a wide-leg printed bright coral pair. Click through to see these and lots more — all from day three of Paris Fashion Week.

I just saw a web presentation about the upcoming Codex Alimentarius, international legislation that will legally constrain the distribution of certain important health information and free access to non-patentable natural medicines.
Food supplements and organic food will be legally limited and might even be forbidden. There are a lot of myths about the Codex Alimentarius on the internet, but this presentation gives a more level headed, scientific approach as the lecture is hosted by the Dutch Delf University of Technology.
Basically the Codex will limit which nutrients can be sold as food supplements and is stretching the limits of what can be called organic food. Also it is presented that there are studies that show that organic farming yields just as good or better harvests and more nutritional foods than conventional farming and that these studies are ignored.
Check out the presentation here.

Nicotine is not only addictive, but also dangerous for your health. American researchers have discovered that nicotine creates carcinogenic substances.
This is shown by research done in collaboration with the University of California.
When smoking a cigarette nicotine is released in the form of vapor. This vapor attaches itself to surfaces of furniture, carpets, clothing and human skin and can stay there for months.
When the nicotine residue reacts with a substance called hydrogen nitrite, which is often present in buildings, carcinogenic substances are formed.
Fake electronic cigarettes and extinguished cigarettes are also dangerous because of this. Fake cigarettes were thought of as harmless because they only spread nicotine and not the toxic tar.
Exposure to the carcinogenic substances happens primarily by breathing it in or through skin contact with clothes or carpets that are covered with nicotine.
The researches suspects that 'third hand' smoke is the most dangerous for little children.
Smoking outside doesn't make much difference. The nicotine attaches itself to clothes and skin and can be brought inside this way.

Vitamin D reduces the risk of developing colon cancer. People who have high concentrations of vitamin D in their blood have a 40 percent less chance of getting the disease.
This is the result of a large European study in which the University of Utrecht participated. The results were published in the scientific journal British Medical Journal.
The body produces vitamin D when skin is exposed to sun light, but also foods like fatty fish provide the body with vitamin D. The research did not show however that extra vitamin D in food or supplements can prevent cancer, says a researcher.

Ozzy Osbourne had some interesting things to say in a recent interview with Kerrang! regarding this generation's batch of rockers. Ozzy said, "I honestly don't know who's going to carry the flag in the future – but I wish someone would hurry up. None of us are getting any younger, you know."
As if that wasn't pseudo-insulting enough, Ozzy went on to say "no one looks like a rock star" and that he has "…a problem telling who's in the band and who's in the (road) crew." Well, Ozzy…as far as the "rock star look and attitude" is concerned; not every rock star can't just throw on a dress and urinate on a national landmark. (Remember The Alamo?) Believe it or not, some of today's rock stars have learned from other's mistakes.

This subscription has expired! Renew Now!
Those were words that used to strike horror into any magazine reader. Soon, you would no longer being enjoying your monthly fix of great personalities, other worlds, and unique viewpoints. For me, those subscriptions were magazines like Omni, Ellery Queen, and Popular Science. I'd bug my parents to renew the subscriptions immediately. There was no way I wanted to miss a mystery story, or to fall behind in the newest scientific achievements, or risk missing out on a great interview. This was back in the 80's, when I was a teen, and there wasn't a plethora of information available at your fingertips by way of the Internet.
Now, fast forwarding to modern day, all that information, all those stories, all those personalities are available on my computer or my smart phone. One might think the day of the magazine has already come and gone. It's not your subscription that's expired: it's the subscription of relevance for magazines that has expired. Why should a print magazine continue to exist in this day and age?
Residential Aliens has expired. Well, actually, it sort of expired back in December, 2012. It went on hiatus, and was to return sometime in mid-2013. And now, it's been renewed: this time under a new owner (Midnight Ryder Technologies) and a new editor. Lyndon Perry isn't leaving, though, he will remain with us as the Founding Editor – watch for contributions from him from time to time!
I know – I didn't answer the question: why is Residential Aliens still relevant? It's the people that contribute that have made Residential Aliens relevant, and will continue to make it relevant. The authors make this place unique – it's often a jumping off point for new authors, or a way for existing authors to extend themselves into new fan bases, and Residential Aliens has always benefitted from that. Our relevance isn't the magazine it's self, it's the stories: speculative fiction with a spiritual edge. It's not easy to find a place like Residential Aliens with that sort of focus, a niche where people expect just a little more from what they read.
Residential Aliens will continue here on the website as magazine. Additionally, we still plan on printing new Residential Aliens Anthologies, though there's no set schedule for publication just yet. We know we've taken over something special, and we're being very careful not to do anything dumb with it.
So, over the next month or so, expect to see some changes to Residential Aliens. The Managing Editor will be announced in November. We're hoping to possibly have a new issue out in late December, or even early January. Part of that depends on us getting everything in order, and part of it depends on the submission of new, great speculative fiction stories!
We hope you've enjoyed your time reading Residential Aliens previously. And we hope you renew your subscription – the subscription in your head to drop by from time to time to see what great new stories authors have given us to present to you!
Davis Ray Sickmon, Jr
Transition Editor,
Residential Aliens Magazine

One of the major lessons Brigadier General Ronald Rand of the U.S. Air Force took away from the tragedies of Sept. 11: Never leave home without your Blackberry. When he evacuated his office in the Pentagon, he left his cell phone and his Blackberry behind. The cell phone would have proven useless, as circuits immediately became jammed, but he says colleagues who had remembered to grab their handheld wireless devices were able to stay connected with family, colleagues and media.

One of the most decorated and longest tenured managers in world soccer history announced his retirement today. Sir Alex Ferguson, who has spent the past 26 years at English Premier side Manchester United, will retire as team manager at the end of the season. During his 26 years at the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, and the UEFA Champions League twice.
18 members of the Black-and-Red were born during or after the year that Ferguson took the helm at Manchester United. Brandon McDonald and Andrew Dykstra were both born in 1986, and United homegrown forward Michael Seaton was born a full ten years after Ferguson's reign began.
In the 2010 MLS All-Match, the all-stars faced Manchester United to a 2-5 loss. The two MLS goals were scored by none-other than D.C. United's Dwayne De Rosario and Houston Dynamo's Brian Ching. See the two battle tonight when the Dynamo visits RFK Stadium (7:00 p.m. Comcast SportsNet Plus / Channel 8)
Please welcome D.C. United in congratulating Sir Alex Ferguson on a storied career, and wishing him luck in the future!
Not a Man Utd fan but Sir Alex Ferguson is a legend. Tons of success and millions of pieces of gum. Sad to see him leave the game.

Ahead of a rare weekday matchup, D.C. United's lingering injuries are starting to clear up, but that hasn't kept Casey Townsend from impressing. Nick DeLeon, who suffered a hamstring strain against the Columbus Crew on March 23 has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dynamo. After being set back a few weeks with a groin strain, Chris Pontius has also been upgraded to questionable.
With a handful of injuries so far this season, D.C. United has been drawing deep into the roster and recently brought Townsend back from Richmond where he was on loan with the Kickers. Through three matches at the Kickers, Townsend tallied two goals and is tied in the leaderboard for goals scored. After training today Ben Olsen confirmed that Townsend would be in the 18 on Wednesday.
With the team in Columbus this weekend, Talon had an off week from his gameday duties. He took the rare opportunity to surprise a few kids at a party that one of the D.C. United Season Ticket Holders was hosting. The Black-and-Red mascot was a hit among the youthful crowd.
Find out more about Talon and how you can invite him to your party by emailing your customer service representative!
This week, Ben Olsen sat down with Dave Johnson to talk all things Washington DC and the current state of D.C. United. Olsen explained his affinity towards DC sports teams and got into the nitty gritty of his coaching style with the Black-and-Red.
Last week, we had the opportunity to visit Time Out Sports Café in Herndon – and it didn't disappoint. Time Out is a great place to take in any game, but what makes it that much better is that they have D.C. United specific chicken wings.
The "Black-and-Red" chicken wings were great. The large wings had a nice rub of spices on them and were cooked to perfection. On top of the wings, they had great service and personalized televisions (with sound!) at every booth in the place. Having televisions at every booth make it a great place to watch D.C. United take on the Columbus Crew this weekend with your family, friends, or a large group of supporters.
Another really neat aspect of Time Out Sports Café was the "do it yourself" tap system. This highly technological bar system lets users pour their own beer and you get charged by what you drink. Its actually cheaper to use the system than go through a bar tender – and cooler, so why not!
Folks out in Herndon for the game this weekend should give the wings a try. The picture below doesn't do them justice.

In October 2013 I read Reza Aslan's book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. I did not buy it. A friend of mine who had read it brought the book to me and as he put it in my hands he said, "You could have written the 14th chapter of this book. You need to read this book." Another friend, a professor at Dallas Baptist University, who had also read Aslan's book said, "As I was reading that book, I kept wondering when (Aslan) was going to credit you with being one of his sources." I published Robbing Peter to Pay Paul: The Usurpation of Jesus and the Original Disciples in Sept. 2009. The 10th chapter of the book, Saint Paul's Homage to Plato, was printed in April of 2004 and has been online since that time. In his work Aslan seems to be rebutting Robbing Peter to Pay Paul… .My ideas and the sources I quoted to support those ideas are too numerous to be a coincidence it appears to me. Where I present the Jesus pictured in the Sermon on the Mount (the one that inspired Mohandas Gandhi, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King, Jr.) Aslan attempts to turn Jesus into a political zealot who actually thinks he can overthrow the Roman Empire. You have my book on p. 24? under resources-books. When you put it in your library Dean Watt wrote a review saying, "I highly recommend Powell's book to both those who wish to be aware of the cutting edge scholarship regarding the Christian Faith and to those who just wish to read a thoughtful and well written book….

Raffling off houses seems to be a growing trend, both for non-profits and those affected by the current economy, so it's great to see folks thinking big.
The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts raffle, for example, lets entrants win either a new house (which I could use) or $1.8 million to invest in business(ha!). Anyway, as a proud citizen who perpetually plunders the milieu of SF, I like opportunities to give back.

NEMA's Electroindustry Business Conditions Index (EBCI) for current conditions in North America was at 56.3 in October, down slightly from 56.7 in June, the last time the index was released.

"I made this recipe with fresh salmon that my father caught for me in Alaska. My husband doesn't like fish at all, so he was nervous to try this. He loved it! I followed the directions exactly, except that I used a cast iron skillet instead of the baking sheet. Both sauces were delicious, though it took well over an hour to prepare the ginger ..."
"As is, this recipe is easily four stars, so I rated it based on that. When I made it the second time, I changed two things that made it PERFECT. Instead of the beef broth and onions, I used a 10.5 ounce can of Campbell's French Onion Soup. After cooking a steak in a cast iron skillet, I removed the steak to rest, and left the steak/butter dri..."
"This smelled AMAZING while it was baking, but my family thought it was just okay. I think it could make a great base recipe. I did make it exactly as directed. It was bland, the coating turned out powdery instead of crispy, and because of the skin the flavor didn't reach the meat. It also needed about 65 minutes to cook. I think the idea is g..."
"This was a decent recipe the first time I made it, but tweaking it really brought it to the next level. I'm giving it three stars because the original recipe was "good" and easy, and it's not fair to rate it after making a bunch of changes. Here's the suggestions hubby made that really helped:

"I've made this recipe for canning for several years now and it is a big hit with the whole family. I did not pressure can it as others suggested. I just use a regular water bath canner and I've had no problems. The flavor is incredible and is much cheaper than buying canned soup. Thanks for the great recipe."
"Made this tonight for dinner and it turned out exactly like the kind you get in a restaurant. I didn't have apple juice, so I used Cran-Grape juice and it didn't change the flavor (although it did have a slight grape jelly scent.) I doubled the sauce and it made the perfect amount, served over Jasmine Rice. Next time, I'm going to t..."
"This is a pretty good base recipe made from things you already have on hand. I made it exactly as directed the first time and they were good. DH made some simple suggestions the second time that put these over the top! I just added 2 cloves of minced garlic, a teaspoon of Kosher salt and a teaspoon of black pepper. I cooked the onions for about 7 ..."
"This was, by far, the most tender, fall-off-the-bone pork roast I have ever made. I doubled the recipe for a 5 lb roast, used Classic Coke and added 2 packets of mushroom gravy mix, and 2 sliced yellow onions. Baked in the oven at 350 for 4 hours. DH said it was AMAZING! Even with the recipe doubled, we wished we had more gravy, so maybe we'l..."
"The firs time, I made this recipe exactly as directed and it was delicious. Hubby and I really liked it, although Hubby said it it was not *quite* as good as his favorite, Kittencal's Moist Cheddar-Garlic Oven Fried Chicken Breast (Recipe #82102). It was simple and quick to prepare, and cleanup was a snap with the tinfoil.
"This is pretty good but it needed a bit of tweaking. I made it the first time and rated it three stars, but the second time, I added some simple changes.

Hi everyone,
I have two large heart shaped Valentine boxes that my Grandpa gave to my Grandma. I'm not sure what to do with them and I have a philosophy that if I have something then I should use it some way (instead of stashing it away). One is lavender colored with fancy ribbon along the sides and an old smashed silk flower & lavender bow on top. The other is from the 60's or 70's - a bright orange and neon pink thing with a large pink bow on top, with gold colored sides. Any ideas for them, other than sitting them on a shelf?

Hi! What a lovely thing to have... so nice they've been preserved! Have you considered using them to store beloved greeting cards that you wish to keep? Or other keepsake items that are dear to you? You could also use them to store current stationery or envelopes. --Jenn |

I wonder if you could use an old window frame with the slats in it and make a sort of display window with it. Put the Valentine boxes in two of the windows and then get some vintage Valentines at an antique store for some of the other windows. Maybe pics of your Grandparents in a window also. |

I would simply store photos of those grandparents in them. Then lay the pretty boxes on a table where every now and then you can look through the pictures and enjoy them. Making them more like memory boxes. |
Great ideas everyone! I love the idea of storing pictures and keepsakes in them (I have plenty of those!). The window frame idea is also intriguing. I like the idea of displaying them on a table but my kids are too young for that now, maybe when they get older. You've all been so helpful that I took a couple pix so you could see them. |

I think it would be nice to put the box in a shadow box frame so the box would be under glass. Then I'd add in your grandparents' photos and perhaps some other memorabilia. |
The purple one is just beatiful, just replace the bow with somthing brighter, or maybe a picture of your grandma/grandparents, surrounded with lilacs etc. |
Just thought of something else--you could paste some pictures (small and cut in different shapes) inside the box, and then put them in a frame, but put the top at a angle as if you were sliding open the box. |

You know, you might be able to use them as the basis for Valentines wreaths, if your door doesn't get a ton of direct light. I absolutely adore the purple one. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. --Jenn |

Well I think I'de try to add small white or gold drawer knobs as feet and a glass knob or pull on top, Use or sell as jewelery box or keepsake. I do this with small old garage sale jewelery boxes and other types of small boxes with a lid. |
That's an intriguing idea Mechanicalvalve. Very useful, too. I still haven't decided what to do with them. I did just find a small standing curio cabinet that they'll fit into and that will keep my little ones fingers away. Thanks for all the great ideas everyone! |

While IBM may be dominant when it comes to all things mainframe, EMC has been steadily expanding its share of the mainframe storage business.
EMC's launch of new disk-based library systems for mainframe environments that are based on the company's VMAX, VNX, or Data Domain storage platforms strengthens its role in the mainframe storage arena.
According Rob Emsley, senior director of product marketing for EMC Backup Recovery Systems division, the latest generation of EMC storage systems takes advantage of Intel processors to deliver backups at speeds that are four times faster than anything IBM currently offers. Speed is critical in mainframe environments, says Emsley, because of the sheer volume of data typically flowing through mainframe systems.
In general, organizations have taken advantage of new high-end mainframes to consolidate data centers. In some instances, they also take advantage of special options that enable consolidation, for example, Linux workloads on a mainframe. Both scenarios wind up putting more pressure on the backup systems attached to those mainframes.
The new EMC DLm 2100 and 8100 series systems, which were unveiled at the SHARE mainframe user conference, take advantage of 8Gb/s FICON adapters to support as much as 11.4 petabytes of total capacity. As in distributed environments, Emsley says mainframe environments are shifting away from tape backup systems to adopt disk-based systems that can recover data faster and more reliably. The new EMC systems make use of a virtual tape library to make those disk-based backup systems appear to the mainframe as a standard tape-based backup system.
While there's no doubt that IBM will fiercely defend its mainframe turf, as the transition to disk-based backup systems for mainframes develops, it's pretty clear that EMC sees an opportunity to challenge IBM in one of its core segments. It's not yet apparent which company will ultimately win out, but in a world where EMC dominates backup and recovery of distributed systems, a lot of organizations will be likely to consider an alternative that allows them to standardize on one vendor across both classes of systems.

Want Your Child to Learn to Cook the Family Dinner? Give Him a Cookbook
Image Credit: Lambert Getty
Getting your kids into the kitchen and learning to cook is a great goal, and just like adults, it helps if you have a bit of guidance along the way in the form of a recipe. A really good cookbook is in order, and it's important that they have one that appeals to them. When my kids were little, my sister-in-law gave them Kids Cooking: A Very Slightly Messy Manual, which you can still buy. They absolutely adored it, and both of them would pore over it, deciding what things they were going to make. I recall the "put back potatoes" were a favourite of my daughter.
When you look for a cookbook there are a few things to think about:
1. First off, is it really a cookbook or do the ingredient lists call for a can of this and a can of that. It should use fresh ingredients that show your child how to really cook something. I would suggest steering clear of cookbooks put out by food manufacturers. My daughter bought a copy of The Jello Cookbook at a garage sale for a laugh, but it's really a bit scary.
2. It should be age appropriate. The Amazon listing says Kids Cooking is for ages 9 - 12, but I know my kids weren't anywhere near that age when they got it. I actually think a 12 year old would find it a bit babyish. Mollie Katzen's Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes is aimed at children 3 and up. The recipes are presented twice, once in text for the adult supervisor, and also in pictures for children to follow.
3. It should have clear, easy to follow directions. It should also point out where care needs to be taken and state steps which the adult supervisor should be performing, rather than the child, such as draining pasta, or using sharp knives.
4. Personally, I like the idea of drawings, rather than photos to illustrate a children's cookbook. Anyone who has ever cooked anything from a cookbook or a magazine, knows the end product never looks like the photo. With a drawing, they won't be disappointed comparing it to the photo, but they'll get the idea or what it's like before they start.
5. Look for something that suits your family's eating style. If there aren't enough recipes in the book to appeal to your child's palate, they won't be interested in cooking from it.
6. I am lucky enough to live in Toronto which has the largest public library system in the world. After years of having weird cookbooks, I now never buy a cookbook without getting it out of the library first and trying it out. If you can do that, it's worth it. You have the opportunity to try a number of books, and see which one suits your child best.
7. Go online and look at book reviews for cookbooks you are interested in. An astonishing number of cookbooks (for adults as well) don't actually test the recipes before the book is published. Some cookbooks are fantastic and you go back to them over and over again, and some are, well, lousy. My mother always says she's happy if she gets one good recipe out of a cookbook, but I'm not. Checking out the opinions of other moms and dads on the usefulness of a book can help you make a choice.
Once you have chosen a cookbook, let your child choose what it is they want to cook. It's a great idea to start this cooking project on the weekend, because you need a lot of time and patience. If you need to shop for the recipe of choice, take them with you and let them take the ingredients off the shelf, and choose the meat and vegetables themselves. Let them do as much of the cooking as they can, stepping in only when you need to do something that isn't safe for them to do. I can guarantee you that your child will be bursting with pride when your family sits down to eat something that they made themselves, and so will you.

Guile returns and still hasn't learnt any new special moves since he appeared in Street Fighter II.
That means you Guile veterans will know the drill by know - spam Sonic Booms to control the screen and force your opponent into making a mistake.
You have to learn various anti-airs to make your Guile effective, as Flash Kicks don't always cut it. Jump back HK, air throw, back + MP and cr.HP all work in different situations.
Sonic Boom (back, towards + P)
This is what you'll be relying on most of the time. You want to control the pace of the match by flooding the screen with Sonic Booms, before punishing their reckless ways to try and avoid it. EX Sonic Boom is incredibly fast and also beats Focus Attacks, so it's worth saving meter for.
Flash Kick (down, up + K)
Apart from EX Flash Kick, the standard version is hit and miss as an anti-air move. Sometimes it will hit opponents clean, sometimes it will trade, sometimes it will miss altogether! Its best use is to finish combos, otherwise stick to the EX version.
Double Flash (down/back, down/towards, down/back, up/towards + K)
Guile's Super is decent as an anti-air, combo ender and to punish blocked moves with because it starts up so quickly.
Flash Explosion (down/back, down/towards, down/back, up/towards + KKK)
This Ultra is fairly inconsistent too, as it sometimes misses the last kick if you tried it as an anti-air, not to mention it doesn't always work as an anti-air because the start-up is a little slow. It's best used after a Focus Attack crumple or when predicting your opponent will stick out a limb.
Basic Combo: cr.MK > towards + MP
Advanced Combo: Jump in LK > cr.LP > cr.MP xx Flash Kick

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Russia ready to drop Iskander plans if U.S. scraps missile shield
MOSCOW, March 3 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian defense minister
reiterated on Tuesday that Moscow would not place Iskander missiles on
the EU's doorstep if Washington abandoned its plans to deploy missile
defenses in Central Europe.
"If the deployment [of U.S. missile defense elements] is suspended, we
will not start the retaliatory measures we planned," Anatoly Serdyukov
Serdyukov was speaking after a Moscow meeting with his German
counterpart, Franz Josef Jung, to discuss issues of bilateral military
cooperation, including the rail and air transit of military cargo for
German troops in Afghanistan through Russia.
"We are ready to continue discussions on this [missile defense] issue,
including in the framework of the Russia-NATO Council," the minister
Washington has agreed with Warsaw and Prague on plans to deploy 10
interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic by
2013. The United States says the defenses are needed to deter possible
strikes from "rogue states" such as Iran.
Russia has consistently opposed the missile shield as a threat to its
national security and President Dmitry Medvedev threatened in November
to deploy Iskander-M missiles in the country's westernmost exclave of
Kaliningrad, which borders NATO members Poland and Lithuania, if the
shield was put into operation.
Top Russian officials have repeatedly expressed hope that U.S.
President Barack Obama will not follow through with his predecessor's
missile defense plans.
The Kremlin denied on Tuesday media reports claiming that a letter
sent by Obama to Medvedev contained new missile defense proposals.
The reports cited unnamed sources as saying the U.S. president had
told his Russian counterpart that Russian help in resolving the issue
of Iran's nuclear program would make Washington's plans for a missile
shield in Central Europe unnecessary.

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 Bella!
Facts about Bella
- Breed: Collie Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Bella's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bella is a very beautiful and loving female rough collie mix approximately 1 year and 20 lbs. She enjoys being brushed, is quite playful, and understands basic commands; sit, shake, lay down. She is good with cats, dogs and kids and appears to be potty trained. Bella is the perfect family dog.
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bella, a San Antonio Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Collie for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Collie dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio 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 Antonio 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 Collie breeders who help with Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

#Travel#Life#Best Of#Working Mom
Kids, I'm going to tell you a story*. This is a story about how I ended up sitting in an office outside of Nuremberg in a tiny town called Erlangen, Germany, which happens to be less than an hour's drive from where I was made. It's a true story.
I get this question a lot lately, "What do you DO now, exactly," and I can not answer in full. I work on demos for automotive software companies. I create websites, mostly front-end now, for larger companies that know more than I do. I help organize strategies for content management, marketing communications, branding and messaging. I travel to a lot of amazing places and I meet a lot of amazing people. My job does not suck. I can tell you that.

You know those days where you forget to eat for about six hours and by the time you realize it you swear your pants are already a size bigger and you must surely look anorexic or vitally ill or, say, like Angelina Jolie but without all those kids or Brad Pitt? And then when you're in the REWE supermarket you catch a glance of yourself from the side in the fridge isle and realize you could probably stand to go another ten days plus six more hours without eating but damn those sausages look tasty.
Yea, that.
I'm not too proud to tell you I stood for about ten minutes in the Suppe isle today. Or that I happened to get about ten packets of soup mix because HOLYLOVEOFGOD the Germans have a lot of packages of soup mixes. I think I purchased a lovely mushroom spice... Read more
Today I biked 15km to town and 15km back. It was sunny most of the way, lovely really, if we don't discuss that bitch of a hill on the north side of town. I had a lot of time while peddling to think about life. I'm sure it's what most people would do while cycling past farms and horses and old men with bread in their baskets.
There is a discipline to being alone. I understand now how monks taking a vow of silence have a strong will. To not communicate with people around you, to be shut off verbally, to be emotionally isolated even while surrounded by people, is difficult at best. I think this as I peddle to Der Beck near work. It is closed and I'm unable to ask when it opens again. I read the sign but I'm... Read more
I'm a native Texan. That is to say, my mother went through 48 hellish hours of labor (thanks, Mom!) so that I could be born in to this world, and the place she endured said pain is Texas City, Texas. She told me, when I was little, she choose that particular place for me to be born because it was easy to remember. Also because she had flown from a town very difficult to say correctly (Bayrouth, Germany) and it made a lot more sense, what with my dad loving Texas and all. I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in between those tall tales and the one where my Grandmother happened to live near a hospital in Texas City, Texas, at the time and my mother and father needed a place to stay after returning to the states from many years over seas.

Well, there's a lot of not funny things that happen, like gray hairs and stretched abdominal muscles, but there are non-physical benefits to keeping people with a very young sense of humor around: Lots of ordinary things are just .. not ordinary.
The other day when leaving the house the children noticed the trashcan had blown over in the wind. "WOW!" they exclaimed, "I bet he's never been on his side before! I wonder if he loves it?"

New Recommendations Released for Treating Psoriasis in Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
Posted: November 29, 2011
The National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board has released new recommendations for the treatment of psoriasis in pregnant and lactating women.
The recommendations call for topical treatment as the first-line therapy for psoriasis—a chronic, genetic disease of the immune system that appears on the skin, causing it to crack, itch and bleed. Specifically, the medical board recommends that moisturizers and emollients, such as petroleum jelly, be used initially as there are no known adverse effects to these products. View the information at www.psoriasis.org.
Additionally, the Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board suggests that:
- After use of moisturizers and emollients, low to moderate dose topical steroids may be used, followed by high-potency topical steroids only as needed in the second and third trimesters.
- Narrow band ultraviolet light B (UVB) phototherapy or light therapy should be the second-line treatment for pregnant women. If narrow band UVB is not available, then broadband UVB, which exposes the skin to more ultraviolet light, may be used.
- Lastly, TNF inhibitors, a class of drugs that suppress the immune system, may be used with caution, as well as the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine in the second and third trimesters. Specific strategies may be used to minimize risk and exposure.
- Breastfeeding while taking medications should be avoided due to the lack of long-term and population-based studies.
"Treating psoriasis in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding presents special challenges due the side effects of certain medications and the ethical concerns of placing this patient population in clinical trials," said Mark Lebwohl, MD, chair of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board. "It's important for women to work with their doctor to determine what treatment is appropriate for them during pregnancy and to consider the precautions for each."
Psoriasis can be unpredictable in pregnancy. Some women see an improvement in the severity of their psoriasis during pregnancy, while others report their psoriasis gets worse. Changes in severity of psoriasis vary by individual and from pregnancy to pregnancy.

PHILADELPHIA — Regional food bank Philabundance has added coolers and is running a new packing line that expands its ability to distribute more fresh produce to area needy.
The expansion gave the food bank that focuses on fresh produce more square footage to better handle the volatility that accompanies perishable products, said Bill Clark, president and executive director.
Since 2007, Philabundance has increased its investment in handling fresh foods.
Philabundance nearly tripled its refrigeration capacity from 7,000 square feet to 19,000 square feet in the new cooling system inside an adjacent warehouse renovated and opened earlier in the year.
To more efficiently repack the produce it receives from the Delaware Valley region, Philabundance relocated its volunteer operation from north Philadelphia to its headquarters across the street from the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market.
The packing line allows volunteers to break bulk produce into the more convenient 30- and 40-pound cartons that Philabundance transports to area food distribution centers.
As fresh produce represents 70% of Philabundance's food donations, the product shortages that hit Florida and Chile this past winter made for a scary situation for the food bank, Clark said.
The upgrades also came at a time when food banks are receiving fewer dry grocery donations.
The Florida freeze and Chilean earthquake caused nearly two months of product shortages in February and March.
Not having dry product or other groceries to fall back on, Clark said the organization had to purchase fresh produce to distribute to the needy its serves.
With the abundant donations it normally receives, buying produce was something Philabundance rarely has to do, he said.
Clark said the improvements added space to store more "hard produce" such as apples, onions and potatoes and gave the organization more buffer to handle the perishable items.
"A lot of people wondered whether we should expand during the recession and financial crisis," he said. "It was a big swallow for us but frankly, that's our mission. Philabundance has never shied away from being aggressive in the face of hunger. We are increasing the capacity of our throughput at a time when the community is still feeling economic problems."

Lookbook Love EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Feiner Fall 2013
Katherine Feiner only just launched her namesake label last year, but she's already garnering major buzz. That's partly thanks to a recent celebrity endorsement—country superstar Carrie Underwood wore her hot pink minidress at a London event a couple months ago—and partly because of Feiner's commitment to classic silhouettes and tasteful trims.
Feiner studied design and textiles while at college in London, where she later joined the team at Burberry. Now, her own business is based right here in NYC—where the entire collection's also produced, save for her embellished pieces (those, like most high-end designers' beaded garments, are made in India). Her fall debut collection is packed with sheer illusion bodices, stunning gold floral beadwork and drop-waisted shifts, all of which we suspect would appeal to one very famous Londoner: Kate Middleton.

I realize that the mac gaming community is not huge, but with the huge surge in sales, especially for laptops, which hardware wise are pretty high end when compared to PC's, the gaming market would only grow if software hand hardware producers made more games for us.
The only reason that mac users don't play many games is that the quantity of games made for or ported to mac can literally be counted on two hands.
This is a great step in the right direction.
Have emblems ruined heroics? (Hint: no) {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2010 4:06AM To be perfectly honest, one of the reasons I started to like this game so much was the friendly people who actually took time to explain to me what the hell was going on. That was five years ago when everyone was a nubsickle, but some people have just shot and petted their way to 80, never grouping or exploring a skill tree.
I like explaining the game to people who obviously have no idea what they are doing, because hell, if I were in their position, I sure would appreciate it.
By the same token - there are some incredibly rude and idiotic people out there, and my patience can only go so far. So in saying that, when they upgrade our bag space - can we have a larger ignore list?
The Lawbringer: WoW and the magic circle {WoW}
Feb 1st 2010 5:18PM I'm sure someone has commented on this already in response to you post - but I believe that yes, the article is in fact referring to farming gold, and power leveling that breaks the terms of service - as in paying someone to do it, or paying for gold. leveling quickly or killing lots of things to get gold for yourself is just playing the game - it is when you let someone other than the account holder play as your toon - yeah that's where the problem for blizzard is- someone other than them making monetary gain from their product, without their written and legal consent.

The Queue: Acronymification, FWIW {WoW}
May 6th 2009 7:32PM It's not easy for some classes, no.
But YES, if you play the games as intended, you'll get them - that being:
a) WSG - dont get tunnel vision & go ONLY offense or ONLY defense. The twain shall meet alot.
b) AB - flags go backwards & forwards so much in AB that just play reasonably offensively & u'll get a cap eventually.
c) EotS - it is not impossible for any classes to run the flag, just harder.
The biggest thing in any of these is teamwork. I have helped about 30 people get these achievements, be they in my guild, friends or random BG's from my battlegroup. Ask for help if you need it - yes some asshats will tell you to call for a waaaaaaambulance, but there are people who are willing to help, and imo - BG's are more fun with 2 or 3 of ur friends anyway.
oh and btw - i think may people have lost the point that these things are called "Achievements"
Children's Week ruins Battlegrounds {WoW}
May 2nd 2009 12:29PM Well for me it took teamwork, just of a different kind,
I ran into the flag room, which was being camped by every ally and his dog, picked up the flag & instantly dropped it, it got returned, then i did the same thing.
90% percent of them realised what was going on but a mage decided that i needed to die. so i just rode back on in & did it again. The allies figured it out & did the same thing for us. I dont think there have been so many flag returns in a BG ever.
However i have to agree - this is a pretty suckful design, especially for ppl who dont pvp much, or are squishy as hell.
A better design would have been to win each of the BG's with your orphan out, but even that would have presented problems of having ppl dead with no orphan out.
Good times.

Secondary schools across Australia will today receive a free copy of Arab Gateways, A resource kit for Australian students and teachers. This vibrant, innovative teaching resource is designed to promote greater understanding between Australia and the Arab world.
Australia has diverse, long-standing and positive relations with the countries of the Arab world. Two-way trade with Arab League countries was worth $10.7 billion in 2010. Australia is also home to approximately 400 000 Australians of Arab descent, and tens of thousands of Australians live and work in Arab countries.
The resource kit presents a range of materials to help Australian students understand this historic and strategically vital part of our world. The kit will also foster greater understanding of each other's cultures, values and beliefs.
Arab Gateways includes units exploring the history, geography, cultures, and economies of the region, supported by short films and student activity sheets. It includes an accompanying DVD and a website, www.arabgateways.edu.au.
It is targeted at history, geography, social education and economics teachers and students in years 7–10.
A professional learning program for teachers to support the use of Arab Gateways will be delivered by the Australian Federation of Societies for Studies of Society and Environment (AFSSSE) during the second half of 2011 and early 2012. Teachers who attend the professional learning will receive their own copy of the resource.
The Council for Australian-Arab Relations funded the development of Arab Gateways, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Our all-campus seder during Passover brings both Jews and gentiles from the campus together and is our best-attended event all year. This year, we also had a celebration of Jewish life, complete with a Klezmer band, attended by almost 200 students and community members. We offer one Shabbat dinner a block, as well as celebrations for most major Jewish holidays. Judaism at CC is what you make of it - some students go to Passover and High Holy days, and that is it, while others attend our meetings, Shabbat dinners, take Hebrew classes, go to the Chabad`s torah study and much more. You can be as into it, or as not into it, as you would like.

Sheriff Jim Ruth, a Vietnam veteran with a commitment to those who serve in our nation's military and reserve, was honored Thursday in Nashville with the presentation of a Patriot Award by the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve.
Ruth was nominated by deputy Rusty Bryant, who is also a member of the Naval Reserve.
Deputy Bryant is assigned as the school resource officer at Waterville Community Elementary School.
In his letter to the ESGR, Bryant commended Ruth for setting the supporting tone within the agency.
The plaque, presented by Carl Lambert, state chair of the ESGR in Tennessee, reads:
"The Office of the Secretary of Defense, Employee Support for the Guard and Reserve, recognizes Sheriff Jim Ruth, Bradley County Sheriff's Office, as a patriotic employer for contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America's National Guard and Reserve force."
Ruth's support of veterans was exhibited by his recent recommendation to the County Commission to accept a grant that would have funded most of the salary and benefits for a new deputy position with a stipulation that the person who is placed in that position be a veteran of military service.
While the Commission failed to fund the county portion or about 25 percent of the deputy's salary for 3 years, the sheriff will continue to seek funding for these desirable applicants.
The award presentation was held during a Tennessee Sheriff's Association meeting in Nashville attended by Ruth and Chief Deputy Wayne Bird.

The argument is that Medicare created a compact among generations and made it possible for people to have health care when they are old and need it. And for the most part, it has done its job. Administrative costs are low, and most of the time people get what they need. Like the rest of the health care system, it has been plagued by the high cost of medical treatments and technologies, and it hasn't been great at controlling those costs largely because it's politically hard to say no to the pleadings of special interests who want to make sure that their own service, product, or new procedure is covered even if evidence that it works is flimsy.
What do the other candidates say about all this? Earlier this year, the Senate took a vote on an amendment that would have required Medicare beneficiaries with incomes over $160,000 to pay higher premiums for their prescriptions. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 56 to 42. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted against it. McCain didn't vote.
That vote suggests neither Clinton nor Obama are big supporters of privatization. But neither talk much about Medicare. Voters need to hear more about what they think. What's needed is a full and open discussion. Does the public want Medicare adequately funded with public revenue, or does it want to shove the increasing costs of care onto beneficiaries, along with their children, who will be saddled with health care expenses when mom and dad can't pay. If the media doesn't lead this discussion, who will?
