The Smart Folks at the Smithsonian Did Something Really, Really Dumb
As an organization that celebrates education, the Smithsonian Institution should have been smarter.
To drum up donations for the Smithsonian's National Zoo, the organization threw a fundraising party complete with wild animals whom partygoers were allowed to touch, hold, and take pictures with. The cheetah, wallaby, penguin, armadillo, and baby foxes were from the Columbus Zoo, which—catch this—rents the animals out for fundraisers and other events. The National Zoo's mission is to demonstrate leadership in animal care and to teach and inspire people to protect wildlife. It certainly fell short.
We have written to the National Zoo and pointed out that wild animals naturally shun contact with humans and become stressed and panicked when they are transported, thrust into the midst of a loud party, and handled by strangers.
We also filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture because the cheetah with whom people were snapping photos is 3 years old—much older than the age restriction of 3 months to which the Animal Welfare Act limits dangerous big cats who are allowed to have contact with the public.
If the Smithsonian wants to live up to its slogan, "Seriously Amazing," it needs to protect animals instead of using them as collection plates.

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 Keira!
Facts about Keira
- Breed: Russian Blue
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Keira's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Keira is a sweet and easygoing girl with some of the softest fur you'll ever pet! It is good that Keira loves being petted because once you stroke her fur, you won't want to stop! Keira is also happy to accept head rubs and chin scratches from anyone who'd like to volunteer them. She'll gladly accept your affection, with non-stop purring, whether she's sitting on your lap, lying beside you, or resting comfortably on a condo.
Keira is a recent rescue, so stay tuned for updates as we get to know this loving little girl! To learn more - www.azrescue.org.
Other Pets at RESCUE
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Keira, a Phoenix Russian Blue cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Russian Blue cat from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Russian Blue breeders who help with Russian Blue rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

On my 2013 Chevy Silverado.....will the change oil warning reset itself after the oil is changed or does it have to be reset at the dealership where I purchased the truck? How can I reset this myself? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Use google to search for comments. Use this search string to generate applicable results: 2013 silverado "change oil light" Include the quotation marks. If you are permitted to reset this light, there may be instructions in your owner's manual. The general consensus of opinion I found with a google search is this: Turn the ignition switch to run (but do not start the engine). Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. Insure there is nothing to interfere with a full stroke of the pedal. |

Unhook the battery. |
From page 1-32 of the Owners Manual Resetting the Oil Life System |
Our Saturn vue had a reset button in fuse box under hood. Did engineers think the oil techs would like that? I know the Saturn brand was a "world" car and used "out of he box" ideas, but please. |

text: A Man of No Importance starts out appealingly enough. But director Suri Krishnamma's sentimental character study of Alfie (Albert Finney), a repressed bus conductor in 1963 Dublin, can't sustain the weight of its own moral pretensions. Alfie is smitten in equal measure with his young bus-driving colleague (Rufus Sewell) and with Oscar Wilde; he's also terrified of (to quote Wilde's lover) ''the Love that dare not speak its name.'' By the time Alfie comes out (big time, looking like Quentin Crisp) and his good neighbors in 1963 Dublin learn about sexual tolerance (reality check, please), the heavy life lessons have crushed the story's eggshell thinness and dissipated Finney's tender, masterful work. The cast, though, is crackerjack, including Brenda Fricker as Alfie's spinster sister, Michael Gambon as a conservative butcher, and Tara Fitzgerald as a young woman who is not as pure as Alfie innocently wishes her to be.

i had a bowl of spider man cereal and skim milk.. of course!
We ate at the new local restaurant tonight. I had the lemon-garlic shrimp with bell peppers and rice, DH had the beef fajitas. Both were really good.
Things I have learned living in ARKANSAS1. Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in ARKANSAS.3. We have four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas.4. A carbonated soft drink is not a soda, cola or pop...It's a 'coke' regardless of brand or flavor. Ex...What kind of 'Coke' do you want?5. People actually grow and EAT okra!!6. Sweet Iced Tea is appropriate for all meals.7. You have to switch from 'heat' to A/C in the same day.8. All the festivals across the state are named for an animal, insect, grain, vegetable or fruit.9. You work until you are done or it's too dark to see.10. Everyone can't be an Arkansan: You have to be BRAVE to live here!
Well it wasn't Nutella and Scrapple!
Grilled burgers, french fries and cole slaw
we always have an unlimited amount of cereal, breakfast bars, cake and brownie mixes..... we also get a lot of new producst that have not hit the market yet... those are the best... it's a white box surprise, no lables, no clue what's in the package...... we get it all from one of his uncles that works for general mills. he's always sending over boxes upon boxes.
and i'm the only one in the house who eats the cereal. so we have about 17 un-opened boxes in the pantry. i should start going door to door selling the stuff like a girl scout and her cookies... hmmm.... that could be my new job...
The best way to eat Nutella is smeared on a graham cracker, topped with another graham cracker smeared with marshmallow creme. Instant S'more!
They call me "Nana"
Oooh...that sounds like a gourmet smore there.
There's only one marshmallow creme, it's called Fluff!
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
It's called GOOD. And no campfire is required.
They call me "Nana"

Interview from a mass shooting survivor.
Here is a recent interview from a survivor of a mass shooting.
The Internet Hate Machine
Hey guys,
Long time no talk. Its time to awaken the gun rights supporters and be ever vigilant in educating thoes around us on the facts behind gun control.
Stay true to the course and don't stop the debate. We have too much at stake, our freedoms and liberties.
The fall of the second amendment at the hands of its suppliers.
Just in case you didn't know that the second amendment is collapsing around us today. Dicks' sporting goods, Cheaperthandirt, and WalMart has pulled all their "Modern Sporting Rifles" from their shelves....
CTD has released the Following:
Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately.
We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories.
Michael Tenny, CEO
Looking at their facebook page many of us are being vocal about our disdain for this "knee jerk reaction"
This is why we carry.
Without the swift actions of this 71yo CCW carrier things could have been a lot worse.
Hope everyone had a good memorial day.
I hope everyone had a fun and safe memorial day. I also hope that everyone stopped and remembered what the really was about. Remembering all that has stood in the face of danger and those that laid it all down for freedom. Ours and for the oppressed in the world. I am proud to call myself an American and I am also proud of the service that each and everyone has given. This includes law enforcement, fire, and military as well.
Snipers Log.
Several months ago I picked up the Brownells/Storm Tactical Precision Rifle Data Book to use in my long range shooting endeavors. There are many benefits to using a data book for long range shooting, such as keeping track of shot placement in a given set of environmental conditions, elevation and wind holdovers, and general notes.
The Brownells data book comes in a sturdy Cordura Nylon zippered case with generous pockets for pens and a Mil Dot Master.
This databook covers a broad range of targets and data pages. I do think this book would benefit from having more note pages and a target size page. At least make this an option for addition.
All in all this book is a very handy book to keep in the range bag or sniper drag bag. Keeping track of all your shooting data for future references aids to better shooting. I will expand more on this book along with my long range shooting trail. Until then happy shooting and keep the muzzle down range.
When Self Defense Becomes Illegal.
So a thief breaks into your home, take your pistol and confronts you with your firearm, you defend yourself and shoot in self defense IN YOUR OWN HOME, then you are taken into custody where the prosecutor then decides if your actions were justified. Meanwhile if you are like so many of us, you miss work, and an arrest even if there is no conviction could result in loosing your job. WHY is it that they spend more time looking to charge the victim of the burglary then they do looking for the suspects?
Sorry Here

While we were property hunting in a nearby county the other day, I accidentally left my purse hanging from the back of a bar stool in the Main Street bar/grill of a small town when we stopped for lunch. I didn't figure it out until the next day, but relaxed immediately when I realized where I'd left it because I expected I'd be able to get it back (even though I couldn't remember the name of the town OR the bar). Sure enough, they opened my checkbook and called the number on my checkblanks. I made the 1.5 hour drive and when I walked in, the 5:00 infrequently-shaving and slightly unwashed beer crowd greeted me in unison with a friendly "You must be the purse lady!"
I thanked them profusely, took out the (untouched) cash from my wallet, tried to give it to the bartender as a thank you, but was refused. (I was suddenly glad we'd tipped well the day before.) One of the patrons shared my relief that I'd been able to get it back and asked me if I was surprised. I was sort of baffled, because it hadn't even occur to me that it wouldn't turn out that way. I've found my fair share of purses, wallets and fancy phones and have always acted pretty much the same as the people in the bar, and have lost my purse/wallet probably six times in my life, but only had it stolen once. If you were to lose your purse or wallet, and you were pretty sure you knew where you'd left it, would you expect to see it again? Or would it be a total shock to you if you did? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Even in the big city, it doesn't surprise me when LF's wallet turns up again. He's lost all of the money once, but only once. I never ever lose my wallet... because I don't carry one! The purse stays in the car with nothing more than the medical insurance cards and some pictures. I do carry my money, driver's license, and bank card on my person. More than once the bank card has been left in the ATM. Every time, someone in the medical center calls me to come get it; I've never had to replace it. Except the one time the machine "ate" my card. I'm very pleased you have confidence about it; no point in not trusting them. Moreover, I'm pleased they were such a delight to encounter. |

I don't believe I've ever lost a wallet with id in it, away from home, so don't know what to expect from the people around here. But it's a daily search each morning at home from the wallet, keys, ipod, etc. Usually it don't take but a few minutes to find them. Dont' know if it's gremlins, faeries, or sprites. Oo la.... |
Neil was forever leaving his wallet in a grocery cart at Food Lion. It was always returned to him. I left my purse in a McDonald's in Ohio once while on a trip. Talk about nearly having a heart attack. One of the ladies on the trip saw it and returned it to me. Once, I could say that, of course it would be returned, but Michelle you are so positive I don't think anyone dare disappoint you. :0) |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Thu, Jul 15, 10 at 19:07
Glad you got your purse back. Re your Q about what do I expect? In my immediate neighborhood I expect to get my stuff back. If I lost my stuff a few miles away in certain cities, I would not expect to get my stuff back. |
Whenever I see a belonging left behind or dropped I try my best return or do whats right. What I would appreciate if it was me who lost something. Karma, the golden rule etc. What goes around really does come around good and bad. |
Lost my wallet once on a plane from Memphis to L.A. Was wearing dress blues and it was in my breast pocket and slept most of the way home. Got the wallet back in the mail minus the $300 a week later. The cleaner found it between the seats. There are diverse areas around here that have a variety of denizens with various awareness levels. I would hope that if I left an identifiable possession some where it would be found by a conscientious individual and returned intact. There are those that are needy at this time or those that do not understand karma who may choose to temporarily benefit from a find. Money is not the big worry even thou it would hurt my expectations of those around me, identity would be my main concern. |
I live on the edge of "the hood" and do most of my shopping in "the hood"....im grateful my car is still where i park it let alone a misplaced purse. |
On vacation last year I left a credit card in Michigan and didn't discover it until I got to Wisconsin. Fortunately I still had my debit card and the account had plenty of money :) The restaurant kept my card, but we decided it was just easier for them to shred it and for me to request a new one. Their security precautions required I pick the card up in person and I wasn't going to be back there. I would (mostly) expect to get back my wallet and everything in it in Oklahoma. Lisa |
I would expect to get it back. I'm sort of careless about my belongings--not when I'm alone, but when I'm engaged with another person or communal situation--and can't even count the number of times I've recovered a handbag or a wallet from places where I didn't think that could happen. I guess it's because most people are basically honest that I might panic in the first moments when something is lost or misplaced but then really do think I'll get what I left back in my possession. But then there was the time......, but that was the odd case. |

Take Two for August 2, 2013
Ozomatli: Getting to know the band behind Take Two's theme song
Christian Lantry
The LA-based band Ozomatli pose for a promotional photo.
All summer, we've been telling you about a new project involving some very old songs. "Songs in the Key of LA" is a collection of sheet music from the LA Public Library, compiled by USC professor Josh Kun and his students.
A part of that project, the band Ozomatli, will be perfoming tonight at Cal Plaza in Downtown L.A.
We like to think the band is best-known for our theme song, which they wrote, but of course they're known for much more. The band's Will Abers and Ulises Bella joined Kun and host Alex Cohen in the studios in July, to talk about their music and Kun's ongoing project.

High Voltage, Precision, Battery Stack Monitor
Linear Technology announces the LTC6802®, a highly integrated multicell battery monitoring IC capable of measuring up to 12 individual battery cells. Using a novel stacking technique, multiple LTC6802s can be stacked in series without opto-couplers or isolators, allowing precision voltage monitoring of every cell in long strings of series connected batteries. Long battery strings enable high power, rechargeable battery applications, such as electric & hybrid electric vehicles, scooters, motorcycles, golf carts, wheelchairs, boats, submarines, forklifts, robotics and portable medical equipment.
The LTC6802-1 is a complete battery monitoring IC that includes a 12-bit ADC, a precision voltage reference, a high voltage input multiplexer and a serial interface. Each LTC6802-1 can measure up to 12 series connected battery cells with an input common mode voltage up to 60V. In addition, multiple LTC6802-1 devices can be placed in series to monitor the voltage of each cell in a long battery string. The unique level-shifting serial interface allows the serial ports of these devices to be daisy-chained without optocouplers or isolators.
When multiple LTC6802-1 devices are connected in series they can operate simultaneously, permitting all cell voltages in the stack to be measured within 13ms. To minimize power, the LTC6802-1 offers a measure mode, which simply monitors each cell for overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. A standby mode is also provided. Each cell input has an associated MOSFET switch for discharging overcharged cells. For large battery stack applications requiring individually addressable serial communications, see the LTC6802-2.
The maximum total measurement error is guaranteed to be less than 0.25% from -40°C to 85°C and every cell voltage in a battery stack can be measured within 13ms. Each cell is monitored for under voltage and over voltage conditions and an associated MOSFET switch is available to discharge over-charged cells. Each LTC6802 communicates via a 1MHz serial interface. Also included are temperature sensor inputs, GPIO lines and a precision voltage reference. The LTC6802 is a small 8mm x 12mm surface mount device. The combined robustness, exceptional precision and tiny package directly addresses the critical requirements of emerging and advanced battery technologies.

Jackass is more like. But why quibble over terminology?
Andrew Breitbart, blowhard founder of Big Hollywood, that revolving grievance committee for the unwanted and washed-up, had the tranquility of his stay at a Santa Monica interrupted by a protest march of mostly college-age kids, whose insistence on politicizing such a fine sunny day provoked him to flip the finger of fury at these punks as the American flag flapped like a Pop Art prop for Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD.
Only prob was, these weren't antiwar lefties--the campus-indoctrinated, Soros-backed, ACORN-trained--children of the damned--to whom Breitbart was flipping the bird but, as he was soon informed via email by a journalist covering the event, "4,000 youth march[ing] in solidarity for the children abducted and forced to fight for the LRA in Northern Uganda and more recently in the Congo."
Now anyone can make a fool mistake, and Breitbart has apologized for his, but it's instructive how once he assumed it was leftwingers ruining the vista he projected on to their faces "sour looks," "defiant smugness," "sneering" attitude, and "arrogance." In short, he externalized the anti-lib caricatures that he's internalized for so long that he actually thinks the figments in his head conform to some kind of reality. Has he learned his lesson after weeks of guilt-ragged, REM-ravaged sleep? Is he capable of moral-intellectual reform? We can but hope. But I consider it fortunate that the easy-to-rile Breitbart was nowhere near the Upper West Side today as the annual AIDS Walk crossed 110th Street and turned down Riverside Drive--he might have run up to confront the marchers, grabbing his crotch and flicking a devil tongue while casting vile aspersions on the upcoming Tony Awards. This could have caused quite a contretemps, one that I am grateful we were spared.

Florida Defamation Laws
Defining Defamation in Florida
Libel, slander, and defamation in Florida are causes for civil action by a plaintiff against a defendant who communicated to a third party something that that is meant to hurt the plaintiff's reputation or damage his economic well-being. Some instances of libel or defamation are considered criminal within the state of Florida. While Florida does not specifically define criminal libel, the criminal statutes protect the fiscal services industry by making it a misdemeanor to defame businesses within that industry. Florida also considers libel to be criminal when the chastity of a woman is brought under attack.
A plaintiff has two years from the date the defamatory statements were published to bring a defamation or libel case against a defendant.
Public vs. Private Figures in Florida
If your job entails acting on behalf of the government or puts you in a position where your workplace is known by the general public, there's a distinct possibility you could be considered a public figure under Florida state law. Public figures recognized by the courts in Florida include a hospital administrator, harbor master, police and corrections officers.
A private figure only has to prove negligence on the part of the defendant. Public figures, however, must demonstrate the presence of actual malice to inflict damage to the plaintiff's reputation and social standing on the part of the defendant.
Defenses for Defamation in Florida
Primary defenses for defamation allowable under Florida state law include: truth, fair reporting privilege pertaining to legislative and judicial reports and reviews, opinion, and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
The fair reporting privilege defense is commonly used by defendants when the plaintiff is a government official functioning in his or her official capacity.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act holds webmasters harmless when it comes to third-party user generated content that is defamatory in nature. For this defense to be valid, the webmaster must not have told the user to create a defamatory blog post or comments on the website.
Florida is a Per Se State
Florida recognizes Defamation Per Se originating from an individual or business not from the media. The media cannot be held liable for Defamation Per Se. According to the courts in Florida, Defamation Per Se occurs between private figures. Defamation Per Se in Florida is any statement or publication that is in and of itself defamatory with the intent of ruining the plaintiff's reputation, social standing, or fiscal well-being. Defamation Per Se statements falsely, and maliciously, insinuate the plaintiff is afflicted with a terminal disease, imply the plaintiff has engaged in criminal activity, or has acted in a way that is unbecoming of his or her profession. Again, private figures do not have to prove actual malice. Private figures only have to prove the defendant was – at the very least – negligent when making such false statements against the plaintiff.
Damages Awarded for Defamation in Florida
Among the damages for defamation in Florida include:
- actual damages
- compensatory damages
- punitive damages
Bloggers Are Journalists Under Florida Defamation Law
In 2014, a Florida Appeals Court ruled that bloggers are granted the same protections as traditional newspaper journalists. Source.

'42' Trailer Hits an Oscar Bait Trifecta
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 10, 2013 | Comments (1)The historical drama, the meditation on race relations, and the inspirational sports story: separately they're all crowd-pleasing film genres that tend to do well at the box office and earn plenty of recognition during awards season. But put them all together and you get some kind of unstoppable super movie. Or, at least, that's probably what writer/director Brian Helgeland was hoping when he made 42, a biopic of baseball player Jackie Robinson. For anyone out there whose nerdom doesn't travel over into the sports world, Robinson was the first black player to cross the color line and play in Major League Baseball during the modern era. Which, you might imagine, was something that a number of tobacco-spitting ballplayers and drunken fans in the stands didn't take kindly to back in the late 1940s. 42 seems to focus on the struggle of going somewhere you're not wanted, so that you might pave the way toward opportunity for those who come after you; a noble goal that's ripe with dramatic potential.
Exploring Parenting in a Hoodie and Positive Youth Culture with Mandela and Mario Van Peebles
Features By Scott Beggs on March 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFrom a family legacy to positive portrayals of black youth to showing up at the club with your kids, Mario Van Peebles and his son Mandela cover it all while discussing their forthcoming flick We The Party. To the bass beat of The Rej3ctz and Snoop Dogg, we discuss rising above racism, staying hip, heading out in a hoodie and a whole lot more.

Over/Under: 'Driving Miss Daisy' vs. 'Gran Torino'
Features By Nathan Adams on February 21, 2012 | Be the First To CommentI was only eight in 1989, but from what I remember it was pretty much the year of Batman and Driving Miss Daisy; two movies that my 8-year-old self was less than impressed by. Perhaps we'll talk about Batman at a later date, but today I want to talk about Miss Daisy, a movie that won so many awards and got so much critical praise that it made even those of us who had yet to sprout pubes aware of who Jessica Tandy was. The hype on this thing must have been huge to get me to tear my attention away from G.I. Joe and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles long enough to watch a film about a couple of old people driving around, but it did. The other movie I want to look at is from 2008. It's Clint Eastwood's acting swan song, Gran Torino. This one was well-liked, from what I can tell, but it didn't get the hype or attention that I imagined it would once awards season rolled around, and consequently I don't think as many people saw it as should have. I mean, with this one's racial themes and its focus on old people you'd think it was a shoo-in for baiting the Oscars into giving it recognition. Perhaps it had too many racial slurs and too much gunplay to get embraced by the intellectual bourgeoisie that make up the Academy though. Give something a little color and suddenly it can't be viewed as "serious […]
Must-Watch: Oscar Nominees George Clooney and Viola Davis on Race and Manufactured Audiences in the Minds of Hollywood Producers
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 26, 2012 | Comments (1)"There becomes this idea, this narrative that says, 'Well, it's going to be 13-30-year-old white men which is the target. Because we want to open.' Because everyone makes their money opening weekend. Well that's actually not the audience. There is an audience for all of this. We've just forgotten it." That's George Clooney discussing the condescension inherent in the mindset of some executives in the studio system. His comment comes after a question to newly minted double Oscar nominee Viola Davis (The Help) is asked in the Newsweek Oscar roundtable why this is her first starring role. The answer? "I'm a 46-year-old black woman who really doesn't look like Halle Berry, and Halle Berry is having a hard time," said Davis. A clever turn of phrase underlining the reality that there are few roles for women of a certain color and a certain age. It's certainly a complex issue with any number of historical, social and artistic causes, but the numbers are certainly there.
Exploring The Twilight Zone #146: I Am The Night – Color Me Black
Exploring the Twilight Zone By Scott Beggs on January 24, 2012 | Comments (3)With the entire original run of The Twilight Zone available to watch instantly, we're partnering with Twitch Film to cover all of the show's 156 episodes. Are you brave enough to watch them all with us? The Twilight Zone (Episode #146): "I Am The Night – Color Me Black" (airdate 3/27/64) The Plot: A whole lotta racism goin' on. The Goods: On the morning that a man called Jagger is to be hung for murder, the darkness of night never turns into day. As if to weigh in on the wrongful judgment by a bigoted town, the universe has kept the light out of their city limits. But why? What's at the center of it all? As it turns out, it's John F. Kennedy.
Culture Warrior: 'The Help' Can't Help Itself
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 23, 2011 | Comments (10)The Help has started a conversation that's stretched far beyond the 137-minute confines of the film itself. And in its second week in a row atop the late-summer box office, the critical conversation surrounding the film has continued amidst (and, sometimes, against) the sleeper popularity it endures in a fashion similar to the success of the book it was based on. In interest of full disclosure, I have deliberately chosen by this point not to see The Help (perhaps a combination of my reservations against it combined with its daunting running time). However, in following the many editorials published in response to the film's release, it oddly enough feels appropriate to comment on the conversation that the film has inspired without having seen it, as it's a conversation that is hardly limited to the film itself. The Help seems to represent a breaking point, the last piece of white liberal guilt that broke the clear-cut racial fantasies of Hollywood cinema's back, so to speak. The film is bearing the brunt of a decades-long history of similarly minded feel-good studio fare about race relations. While The Help certainly has its full-throated detractors, one interesting component about the overall critical reaction to the film is that it is politically simplistic while also presenting good or perfectly competent filmmaking, carried by a couple of strong female performances at its center (which, when considering what's lacking in terms of identity and representation in Hollywood, is itself no small miracle).

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 Jolly!
Facts about Jolly
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jolly's Info...
This is Jolly, 1 of 4 boys in the Christmas Litter. He is a shepherd/rott/lab mix. He will be available on December 15th.
Other Pets at P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jolly, a Garden City Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Garden City, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Garden City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Garden City 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 Garden City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Garden City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Online LMS Resources
Lurie Children's Hospital
When the hospital decided to move out of its 130-year old building and into a new facility, executives realized that training would become a top priority to ensure a smooth, safe transition. More than double the size of the old facility, the new hospital featured a different design, layout and configuration which meant each employee had to learn floor plans, new equipment and more.
Learning Engagement - Levin Furniture
Levin Furniture progressed from a classroom style learning environment to automated training with SilkRoad Learning. The change was sparked by high travel costs and an overall lack of ongoing employee engagement with the classroom environment. Levin Furniture wanted to provide a blend of mandatory training and ongoing voluntary training to foster employee engagement and increase overall career satisfaction.
BenefitMall Succeeds with SilkRoad Learning
BenefitMall provides a self-service portal for brokers to obtain insurance quotes for their clients. Even with the system's self- service features, the company faced an ongoing challenge: brokers called their BenefitMall sales reps to run the quotes. "Instead of establishing or growing relationships, our salespeople were spending a lot of time running quotes for brokers," says Audrenia Graham, BenefitMall's director of HR. "We had a very clear goal—get sales people back to selling." To achieve that goal, the company planned for an upgrade to the portal and decided a new approach to training was needed.
Bringing the Excitement Back to Your Learning Programs
In this customer spotlight webinar we'll discuss how Levin Furniture created a customized and blended training program specific to each role and were able to create a learning environment at work or at home, should the employee choose that. In addition, we'll discuss how to create and maintain training environments in remote locations to keep employees engaged and excited.
Lord Fairfax Uses SilkRoad Onboarding
Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) serves residents of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont regions. The institution includes three campuses, 18,000 students, and nearly 1,000 employees. "We've received multiple recognitions for being a great place to work," says Karen Foreman, MSHRM, the college's Director of Human Resources. "That helps us attract talented people." Onboarding processes needed to deliver on that experience. When Foreman joined the institution, onboarding was little more than a 30-page packet of forms and materials. While HR had a checklist and timeline for forms completion, most often individual follow-up was required. Her first step was to design complete onboarding processes to accommodate six employee classifications. Then they sought a tool that could make it all real. "As soon as we saw the SilkRoad demo, we knew it was exactly what we needed," she says.
Measuring Leadership Development
Leadership development is one of the driving forces behind strong organizational performance. However, when executives look to run their organizations leaner, they view it as a luxury. Now, Measuring Leadership Development gives talent managers a full toolkit for presenting their leadership development programs in terms of identifiable business benefits, including—for the first time—an accurate bottom line for return on investment in the program.

Yet the organization had undergone a rapid, strategic expansion and had clearly outgrown its learning solution, a component of an older HR system: The software lacked basic capabilities for registering, tracking, and reporting training activity. As a result, employees spent time shuffling paper forms for approval that managers signed off manually.

Wilfried Zaha has been revitalised at Crystal Palace under Alan Pardew
Some things are just meant to be together: Morecambe and Wise, tea and biscuits, Ben and Jerry. Wilfried Zaha and Crystal Palace can probably be added to that list now.
Reports suggest that the winger is about to rejoin the Eagles on a permanent deal, two years after leaving Selhurst for a dream move to Manchester United.
An extended period of being ignored by former United boss David Moyes, followed by an unsuccessful loan at Cardiff, saw Zaha find his way back to Palace last August on loan. And...

um mine is windows xp and the boot menu doesnt show up it just comes up with failure to boot operating system....
You should still be able to access your BIOS by pressing F10 continuously once your turn on the computer. Also, you need to change the booting sequence in your BIOS from hard drive to CD-drive so you can boot the computer from the CD drive where the Windows installer is inserted.

Even with boot priorities set, computer still remains in screen right before startup. even if it gets to the boot menu options it usually looks broken. idk.
yup have done this and is working now thanks real much
This new drive - is it a secondary drive? If you have connected a new drive to a cable with an existing drive you will need to change the jumper block to "slave" on the new drive.
Good Luck

Um no its just by itself... but i have connected all the cords and ide cables... but i believe it is because i put a IDE hard drive in when the last one was a SATA and it was only a 40GB so would i have to upgrade it?
If your Presario is like mine F10 right after you turn on the computer will start in the BIOS screen. You then use the arrow key to move from Main to Boot. You then use the arrow key to select the CD drive then you use the + key to move the CD drive to the top of the list. F10 will then save your changes to the BIOS it will then Boot from the CD drive (where you have put the Windows install CD). Please note that after you have installed Windows you will want to move the 1st boot drive to be the hard drive.
Good Luck

Go to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/... it will show you how to get to your BIOS. Once you are there, just go to the Advanced tab and look for HDD. You should see different options there and one of which should be Compatibility Mode or Non-AHCI Mode. Hope that helps.
You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS - so that the drive is listed first.
Does the drive show in the BIOS?
I assume you have a copy of windows on this drive. If it came from another computer it may NOT boot correctly on the computer. If you are attempting to install a copy of windows the BIOS will need to be changed to first boot from the CD drive.

Winter Sunscreen
Name: Clay Status: other Grade: other Location: GA Country: N/A Date: 1/9/2006
My six year old daughter asked me why she had to wear sunscreen in the winter given that the sun does not melt the fragile snow then how could it hurt her skin. I promised her an answer.
I understand the electromagnetic spectrum. I am not sure which wavelengths will melt ice though. If it were below 32 degrees F inside a microwave would ice still melt in it for example? Can you melt ice with gamma rays or x-rays. If microwaves can melt ice then why not its spectrum neighbor TV or FM radio? I think I get how UV rays harm skin but i can get past the difference between radiation and heat or temperature and how they interact. I am stumped by a six year old.
There are many factors that are important to truly clarifying the situation for your daughter. I will focus only on the distinction between heat (energy) and temperature.
Do not feel bad. The problem you are having is due in part to the fact that heat and temperature in the English language are often confused with each other or used interchangeably. We say something is hot when we mean it has a high temperature, but we also say that there is a heat index for weather (which is also temperature).
So let us first try to be more specific with our usage of heat and temperature. Heat is energy whereas temperature is a measure of how fast, on average, the particles of a substance are moving. While in a lot of cases, as energy in the form of heat is injected into a system, the temperature does go up (the particles move faster and faster), this is not always the case. For example, take a pot of boiling water, you can raise the temperature of the water by adding heat (energy) into it. However, when the water is at maximum rolling boil, no amount of additional heat will make the temperature go past the boiling temperature (the water molecules do not move any faster). So here we have a case where the addition of heat into a system only serves to speed up the rate of evaporation (convert liquid phase to gaseous phase) - it does not raise the temperature of the system. Heat and temperature are two distinct concepts.
So what are the important factors in the melting of ice? Let us assume that you are near standard conditions (at sea-level pressure, etc.), in this case the ice will only melt if it is at a temperature of 0 degC. That is (just like in the case of boiling water), adding energy into ice will initially raise its temperature, and then when the ice reaches 0 degC the additional energy no longer raises the temperature, rather the additional energy causes the speeding up of the melting of the ice.
So in answer to your daughter's point that the sun "does not melt the fragile snow so how can it harm her skin" we have to say that melting of ice (under normal conditions) only happens if the ice is already at 0 degrees C, otherwise the energy of the sunlight only serves to raise the ice's temperature. This means that the sunlight (energy/heat) does have an effect on the ice - the temperature goes up - it is just that it is something that we do not observe with our eyes.
The effect of the sunlight energy on skin, on the other hand, is not temperature dependent. That is, whether skin is below, at, or above 0 degrees C, absorption of the sunlight energy will be the same. This means that it is mostly irrelevant (with regard to sunlight effect on skin) whether it is hot (summer) or cold (winter), energy will still cause damage.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are responsible for heat (and hence the melting of snow) and for damage to skin cells. Heat comes primarily from the infrared part of the spectrum -- wavelengths longer than about 700 nanometers. Ultraviolet radiation -- wavelengths shorter than about 400 nanometers are responsible for skin damage. Now with regard to microwaves melting ice (or stated more accurately, heating water) the wavelength (or frequency) used in a microwave oven is chosen specifically to match an absorption of the rotational spectrum of water. So the microwaves selectively "giggle" the water molecules very intensely. For a six year old, you can show an analogy with a guitar or other stringed instrument. If you pluck one of the lower pitched strings at a fret that makes it match the pitch of a higher pitched string you can actually touch the latter string lightly and feel it vibrating in resonance (to use the technical term) with the fretted string. Just as with the acoustic analogy, the molecular and electronic motions that absorb radiation are usually quite specific, so that materials can be transparent to some wavelengths of radiation but not others.
Vince Calder
This is an addendum to your direct answer to this question:
The part of the spectrum that we cannot perceive by light or by heat can sometimes be seen by other animals.
One very important example is in the perception of a healthy mate. Those beautiful feathers of a male parakeet do not look any different to us if we put sunscreen on him. However if we did so, he would not find a mate--because the colors in a part of the ultra violet spectrum that we cannot see make all the different to his potential mate!
