Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jake, a Bellingham Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Bellingham, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Bellingham.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bellingham 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 Bellingham breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bellingham paves the way for another one to be saved.

Paul Horton's unbeaten 150 helped Lancashire progress to 344-4 on the second day of the LV=CC game against Leicestershire at Old Trafford.
The stand-in captain was part of three big partnerships as Lancashire, who started the match needing 18 points to seal promotion, closed in on a fourth batting point.
Horton extended his opening partnership with Luis Reece (50, 126b) to 137 before sharing 73 and 107 with Simon Katich (56, 62b) and Andrea Agathangelou (46, 94b) for the third and fourth wicket respectively.
James Sykes bowled really well in taking 2-61 from 57 overs while Ben Raine (20-5-51-1) also gave excellent control as Leicestershire stuck to their task.
There was fog in the air when play was meant to begin, so the start was delayed for 45 minutes with four overs lost at that stage. Lancashire resumed on 92-0 and Nathan Buck and Raine started with a maiden apiece.
Horton on-drove for four to get Lancashire off and running for the day, and he went on to clip away for three to take the score into three figures. A single took the opener to a well-played 73-ball half-century that included eight boundaries, an all-run four and a five.
Horton then struck Buck (21-3-92-0) for three successive fours at the start of the 28th over before Reece picked up his first boundary of the day at the beginning of the next over – the first that Raine had conceded in his 10th over.
Runs continued to come as Horton hit a 12th four in the 30th over of the innings and Reece smashed the first maximum of the innings two overs later.
Reece, who already had registered scores of 114* and 85 against Leicestershire this season for Leeds/Bradford MCCU and Lancashire respectively, then moved to a seventh consecutive first-class half-century. It has certainly been a fine season for the 23-year-old.
But his latest knock came to an end as leading wicket-taker Freckingham (19-1-100-1) found the edge and Greg Smith took a sharp chance in the cordon. That brought Ashwell Prince (14, 40b) to the crease and there was no respite as he drove two of his first three balls to the fence.
Before Freckingham struck, Sykes had been introduced for his first bowl in place of Raine, who now had figures of 12-5-15-0. Sykes ensured the Pavilion End remained tied up by conceding just a single in his opening three overs. Lancashire went in on 146-1 from 40 overs with Horton on 68 and Prince 8.
Sykes and Raine were then selected to bowl in tandem after the break, with Raine now operating from the Brian Statham End. There was only one four in the first 9.3 overs as Horton struck to the fence in the 46th over, and that pressure led to a wicket as Prince was caught at first slip by Michael Thornely off Raine.
Leicestershire were looking to build on the breakthrough but Lancashire have a strong line-up and Katich immediately looked in good touch. The Australian hit two of his first three balls for four, Lancashire moving to 171-2 after 50 overs.
Horton drove Sykes to the fence as he moved into the eighties while Katich continued his pacy start by hitting four boundaries in the space of three overs, including a wonderful off-drive. By the end of the 54th over, Katich was 28 not out off just 18 deliveries.
Lancashire registered their first batting point in the 55th over while Katich struck to the fence in each of the 58th and 59th overs. There was no four in the next eight overs but Katich hit two boundaries off Buck in the 68th over, the first of which raced to the cover boundary to take him to a fine 54-ball half-century (9x4).
However, Sykes had stuck to his task well and after bowling his first 17 overs for just 34 runs, he picked up some tangible reward as Smith took a brilliant one-handed catch diving to his left at slip to dismiss Katich. That gave Leicestershire their first bowling point.
Another stand developed, with Horton continuing to be a rock for the home side. The batsman struck Raine for four before a single from the next ball took him to a second consecutive LV=CC century, this one coming from 193 balls with fifteen boundaries, an all-run four and a five.
Horton picked up a further trio of fours, with the first of those helping Lancashire to 250. The home side went to tea on 265-3 and the duo continued to accumulate after the break.
Sykes and Tom Wells (8-1-22-0) bowled after the interval and Agathangelou batted steadily, picking off three boundaries amid careful defence. Leicestershire took the new ball after 87 overs but Horton's 19th four took Lancashire to a third batting point.
Agathangelou hit three fours in the space of five overs before Horton struck two boundaries in the 95th over, including a well-timed pull, to move to a superb 150 from 260 balls. The batsman hit six more fours in moving from 100 to the milestone. Agathangelou also twice drove to the fence in the 96th over, the first of which took the stand past 100.
The batsman was now within four of fifty but his innings was ended as Sykes had him caught at the wicket by Niall O'Brien. Luke Procter (1*, 5b) picked up a single before the floodlights took over from natural light, so the players left the field due to bad light.
There were 16 overs scheduled to be bowled but the players were not to return to the field, so a total of 20 overs were lost on the second day. The sides will have 13 overs to pick up further bonus points from this innings when play resumes tomorrow.

BISO Home > USAC/ICO Homepage > USAC/ICO Activities and Events
The USAC/ICO serves as a catalyst for U.S. involvement in ICO and links U.S. researchers in all subfields of optics to international activities. The value of USAC/ICO activities to the optics community and its societies is reflected in the commitments and investments made by these societies.
Major activities supported by the USAC/ICO include:
Light Our Future: The National Photonics InitiativeThe U.S. Advisory Committee for Optics, through its participating societies, is actively supporting the National Photonics Initiative, which grows out of the NRC report, Harnessing Light II, Optics and Photonics: Essential Technologies for our Nation. The goals of the Initiative are to: • raise awareness of photonics and the impact of photonics in our everyday lives • increase cooperation and coordination among US industry, government and academia to advance photonics-driven fields • drive US funding and investment in areas of photonics critical to maintaining US economic competitiveness and national security. Read more about the importance of this project. 2015 Proclaimed the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015)The United Nations' General Assembly has designated 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. The IYL Global Secretariat at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) will play a central role in coordinating the actions of the international scientific community and stakeholders with the UNESCO International Basic Sciences Programme. A selection of IYL 2015 resources, including press releases, can be found on the website of the European Physical Society.
The ICTP Winter College on OpticsThe Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Commission for Optics organize the annual Winter College on Optics in Trieste, Italy. The theme varies from year to year, but the format always features lectures by international experts, internal seminars and group discussions, and laboratory demonstrations. For more information about past Winter Colleges, visit the ICTP scientific calendar page.
Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP) WorkshopsThe USAC/ICO has joined UNESCO and the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE) in sponsoring Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP) workshops. These week-long teacher training events for physics teachers from universities and senior high schools are typically held in developing countries since optics and photonics are among the few experimental physics areas that have been found to be relevant and adaptable to research and educational conditions in those countries. Originally, ALOP workshop materials were available only in English and French. In 2009, an unofficial Spanish version was used for the first time. The workshop in Colombia was the first conducted in Spanish using Spanish-speaking facilitators.
ICO Triennial CongressesThe ICO Congress is a triennial meeting where new officials are elected, new initiatives discussed, and the agenda set for the next three years. The last Congress (ICO-23) was held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain on August 26-29, 2014.
USAC Annual MeetingsThe USAC/ICO meets at least once a year. These meetings focus on USAC/ICO's activities as a national and international liaison to ICO for the U.S. optics community, with the goal of raising the profile of optical sciences and technology.

Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Republic Services Inc. reported adjusted net income of 53 cents per share. By that measure, the company beat the mean estimate of 45 cents per share. Analysts were expecting revenue of $ 2.02 billion.
Quoting Management: "I am very pleased with our 2011 performance," said Donald W. Slager, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strong operational focus allowed the Company to achieve a record level of free cash flow. We continue to have a disciplined approach in the utilization of cash flow, which includes re-investing in our business, acquisitions and returning cash through share repurchases and dividends. During 2011, Republic returned approximately $ 770 million to its owners through repurchases and dividends. We remain focused on improving our return on capital through pricing that exceeds cost increases and initiatives that enhance our productivity. Additionally, we remain committed to maintaining our strong credit profile and investment grade ratings as we continue to grow the business."

The company has now topped analyst estimates for the last four quarters. It beat the mark by 3 cents in the third quarter, by one cent in the second quarter, and by one cent in the first quarter.
Gross margin shrank one percentage points to 40.4%. The contraction appeared to be driven by increased costs, which rose 1.9% from the year earlier quarter while revenue rose 0.2%.

I have not worn lipstick on any regular basis as it can be such a pain to have to reapply frequently. The collagen core is the best... It moisturizes, stays on and looks great! The colors can be layered easily to get a custom color. I love it! And I get many compliments.

Hydrolyzed Collagen
Helps maintain collagen, improving skin's appearance by diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is the main protein found in hair, skin and throughout the body. Collagen works with elastin to give skin its texture, structure and appearance. It works with keratin to provide the skin with strength, flexibility, elasticity and resilience. Collagen aids in the binding and retaining of water, which moisturizes and plumps the lips.
Iron Oxide, Mica and Titanium Dioxide
These naturally-occurring minerals help to nourish the skin. They also provide for richer color, shimmer and shine in skin and lip products.
Shea Butter
Helps in providing moisture to the lips, as well as demonstrating soothing properties to soften and protect the lips.
Vitamin E
A powerful antioxidant that helps promote smooth, healthy-looking skin. It's extremely important as sun exposure and age deplete vitamin E levels.
Aloe Vera Extract
The high levels of natural enzymes found in aloe help dissolve dead skin cells, which may help aid in effective exfoliation. Aloe vera also acts to soothe skin cells.
Green Tea
Provides natural antioxidant protection from harmful free radicals.
Sweet Almond Oil
Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, B and E, all of which contribute to its excellent softening and soothing properties. It helps nourish and protect the lips. Additionally, sweet almond oil moisturizes the skin, helping to improve the appearance of dry or chapped lips.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, B, D and E, protein, and fatty acids which help to nourish, hydrate and soften the lips. Avocado oil helps to diminish the appearance of 'lip wrinkles'.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract
Ginseng promotes the normal production of collagen. It can promote blood circulation, supporting the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin, and the removal of toxins from cells.
How do I apply Motives Collagen Core Lipstick?
Gather Motives Collagen Core Lipstick on a lip brush and begin by lining the lips. After lining is complete, fill in the rest with a lip brush or lipstick tube. Now your look is complete.
What benefits do I get from the Motives Collagen Core Lipstick?
From this product, you will maintain healthy-looking lips, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You will maintain moisture, which nourishes, smoothes and softens the lips.
Can I use Motives Collagen Core Lipstick after plastic surgery?
Motives Collagen Core Lipstick is made with natural minerals and oils that condition lips, making it gentle to use. Make sure to check with your physician before you start to use makeup again, and always wait to apply makeup until your incisions have healed. It is recommended that you use new applicators for your makeup after any surgical procedure to reduce the risk of irritation.
What is collagen?
Collagen is the main protein found in hair, skin and throughout the body. Collagen works to give skin its texture, structure and appearance. It helps to provide the hair and skin with strength, flexibility, elasticity and resilience. It also helps to bind and retain water. As a person ages, the body's ability to produce and, therefore, sustain collagen decreases. As collagen decreases, the skin starts to show signs of aging, such as wrinkles. By supporting the body's collagen needs, we can slow some the effects of aging on how we look and, therefore, feel about ourselves.
Why do I need collagen?
Collagen is included in the lipstick to support the texture and structure of your lips, while also helping them stay smooth and supple.

I know this site is not for commercial use and I have never put things for sale here but I'm hoping you can help me a little and give me a little grace here. (I have done trades but never tried to sell outright.) I have Barhi dates and I am shipping the fresh yellow dates now (yellow crisp like a grape, not dry like a raisin) Not all dates can be eaten yellow, but Barhi are very good and very sweet yellow.
I just had about 200 pounds rejected for being too small. The truth is the smaller ones are sweeter (and earlier) but it seems the buyers this year are starting to reject the smaller ones. I usually sell my yellow for $4.50 a pound, but I need to sell these fast now since they are already picked. I will sell them for $1.50 a pound plus shipping if you will take them right away and I can ship them monday. Thank you all for your understanding. I just hate to waste this perfectly good fruit that just happens to be a little bit small but tastes GREAT. Arthur 760 485-9178 email@example.com |

on second thought, I agree it's not right to sell so... they are free. Or trade me for ???? Just pay shipping. Again, I just hate the idea of them going to waste. So, if you have never tried fresh dates, here is your chance. FREE DATES Arthur |
- Posted by softmentor z9/sunset13 CA deser (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 08 at 12:12
They are all spoken for. Those of you who asked for them, I should have them all shipped out today. I'll send you email to confirm and I hope you enjoy them. Arthur |

I have received a few calls about yellow dates. Yes they are in season now till the end of September. Arthur |
I got some of your dates in 2008, and they were wonderful. I think I probably have a couple of packages still buried somewhere in the depths of my freezer, they should be OK because I packaged them really well and used one of those vacuum seal gizmos. Thanks again, and good luck on the 2010 season. |

We're on a roll now! Thanks to the neat Three Cities Art Show here at the library this weekend, I earned another badge! The Artist Badge! First, I went and looked at all the art work and voted for my favorites. Then, I was feeling inspired, so I asked Miss Michelle to help me find some fun art books. And, Boy! Did she find me some! She even stopped to read a book with me! I like to read books by myself, but I really like to read books with people too. Three Badges down, seven to go. What Badge are you working on?

When SPF:a built their new Culver City office in 2006 they created a major urban amenity, with a bold façade of jutting bays, studio apartments in back, a corner restaurant (currently occupied by Sublime) and—most importantly—a soaring gallery. Partner Judit Fekete, whose Hungarian accent would charm birds out of trees, has made this gallery one of the liveliest and most eclectic in LA. Six times a year there's an exhibition of art, architecture, or design—currently "Lorcan O'Herlihy: Lines, Mounds and Internal Landscapes."
Even as his architectural practice has flourished, O'Herlihy has always made time to make art. In this ambitious exhibit of paintings, prints and sculpture, he follows Paul Klee's lead, and takes a line for a walk. Tubes of paint and charcoal are applied directly to the canvas and then partially erased, creating free-form linear compositions. The sculptures were born by chance when his order for a modest length of porous rubber hose (used for drip-irrigation) was misread and 500 feet was delivered to his studio. Instead of returning it, he started to play with the coils, tying up loops and creating self-supporting structures that are the three-dimensional equivalent of the drawings.
The O'Herlihy exhibition runs through October 6.
Next up is "Lux Natura: Transpersonal Photographs by Marc Franklin".

Bought at half price from Sainsbury's. My hands look fine but I thought I might as well try to prevent ageing. Haha. Packaging is sensible as upside down so easy to get product out. Good size for handbag at 75ml, neither too big not too small. Smell is fine. Not unpleasant nor nice. I take this out and about, to lectures. Absorbs quickly, non greasy, moisturizes hands well, good texture, not too runny nor too thick. I used a whole tube pretty quickly and wanted to buy more but it's not available everywhere. Nice product, will buy again but only if 1/2 price. Full price doesn't seem worth it. Can't tell if anti ageing properties work, but it's a decent everyday hand cream.

Though the consistency is pleasant, the smell is offensive. The smell borrows from Paris Hilton and Ralph by Ralph Lauren, but smells stronger and cheaper. I expect better from Dove.

Great hand cream. I work in an office so keep this on my desk to banish mid day dry hands. First off, it smells great. The consistency if thin, meaning it gets absorbed quickly. It is non greasy & does the trick.
My hands feel soft for a while after

I can't really comment on the efficacy of this product because I just couldn't get past the horrible, horrible smell. Why on earth do they put such an overpowering stink in hand cream?? It's so sickly and artificial, like a cheap public toilet deodoriser. Just awful.

So far I am liking this product. The scent is very soft and clean but really nice. The cream is thin and soaks into the skin fairly quickly with no greasy feeling afterwards and leaves the hands super soft. I bought this because it was on clearance and I ran out of my usual hand cream. I am only 24 but I recently quit smoking and noticed my hands weren't quite as nice as they should be. Within a couple days of use my hands were softer and seemed to be more balance in skin tone, so not as blotchy. I dont have lines though so not sure how well it works on that. Overall though it's a nice hand cream.

I really can't seem to tell what this product has done so far, and I've now used up the entire tube! It has a runny consistency, does not really moisturize well (I feel like I need more almost immediately after putting it on) and there really didn't seem to have any long term benefits. The only pros are that: it absorbs pretty fast, and people seem to like the scent.

520 pontoon flaws not fatal, says state DOT
Although cracks have been found in the first batch of pontoons for a new Highway 520 floating bridge, state Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond said she expects all six to be made watertight.
Seattle Times transportation reporter
Despite the discovery of cracks in the first batch of pontoons produced for a new Highway 520 floating bridge, state Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond said Friday she expects all six to be made watertight.
That includes the critical east endpiece, known as Pontoon W, which left the casting basin on Grays Harbor near Aberdeen on July 30 while water seeped through an exterior wall.
"I have no reason to believe we are going to reject pontoons, even W," Hammond said.
Casting is under way on the second batch of pontoons, which will be attached to the first set as builders on Lake Washington assemble the world's longest floating bridge, at 7,710 feet. Traffic is scheduled to use the new floating segment by early 2015.
In followup inspections this week, by engineers for contractor Kiewit and the state Department of Transportation (DOT), Hammond said it appeared seeping had stopped on W — perhaps the wall is still curing and "apparently the concrete continues to heal."
There are also cracks in the undersides of some other pontoons, which must be sealed.
Mike Cotten, a DOT design-build manager, said last week there are both superficial cracks and "structural" cracks, defined as those more than six-thousandths of an inch thick.
Hammond said the public should have confidence in the DOT, which she said has so far delivered 80 percent of $16 billion in projects approved in 2003-05.
"The thing I wish people would remember is we don't accept product until it's right, and that this project will be safe and live the expected life."
Gov. Chris Gregoire has requested the state reconvene the project's expert review panel, which diagnosed several problems in August.
To reject a large pontoon like W would be an extreme move, risking delays or added cost. But keeping flawed pontoons would increase maintenance or shorten the bridge's 75-year design life.
Even keeping them all, there might be costs. The DOT will negotiate with the partnership of Kiewit-General-Manson over who is responsible for what repairs or delays. Three months were lost this spring when an interior corner crumbled during post-tensioning, when steel was pulled at high pressure through a conduit to compress and strengthen the concrete box.
A total of 77 pontoons are being cast in Aberdeen and Tacoma to form a six-lane floating structure. The first set includes three of the standard, 360-foot-long highway pontoons; two smaller supplemental pontoons attached to the sides to add buoyancy; and the big endpiece W.
The cracks seem puzzling since Washington state claims experience making the world's four longest floating bridges, including the Lacey V. Murrow and Homer M. Hadley Interstate 90 bridges and the Hood Canal Bridge.
Pontoons have cracked in years past, even during construction, said review-panel Chairman John Reilly.
"The simple answer is, WashDOT's [WSDOT] been sealing these cracks on other bridges for decades," said Reilly, an international adviser on concrete, tunnels and cost estimating. Explanations are complex and involve the performance of concrete, he said.
Early in the project, the state researched mixes and built a concrete-mixing plant on site in Aberdeen.
Dave Ziegler, principal engineer for the DOT at Grays Harbor, said in a Popular Mechanics feature that $2.8 million in tests, including a fly-ash mixture, had virtually eliminated cracking from a test pontoon.
But later, the expert panel found that flaws in the concrete mixture, combined with the pontoon design and high pressure, led to shrinkage and cracks.
A state inspector found "weeping" at Pontoon W where water was getting in. Workers grouted the cracks but that didn't succeed, said Hammond. In other places, state video shows ballast water leaking between interior cell walls, a less dire problem.
The decision to release the pontoons from the basin, and fix them later, was in part motivated by a desire to make room for the second batch, Hammond said
The night the pontoons floated out, Ziegler and Hammond didn't mention the W cracks. Ziegler said there would be underwater inspections and patching if needed, before their trip to Seattle.
Kiewit-General-Manson changed strategy — choosing to tow them and make followup repairs in Seattle instead of leaving them exposed to saltwater and tides. The team got permission from insurer Lloyd's [of London] after it determined the pontoons would make the trip, DOT officials said.
Another inspection report is due in about a week.

Kanas is the main man
It was never a secret that former North Fork CEO John Kanas was the prime mover behind a group of private equity firms that recently acquired the assets and banking operations of Florida-based BankUnited, a failed lender that the regulators had to takeover. But bid documents submitted by the investor group reveal just how central Kanas was to putting the team of private equity buyers together.
The formal bid for BankUnited came from a company called JAK Holdings, LLC, an entity that listed Kanas as its sole member, according to bid documents submitted to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. It appears JAK Holdings is the entity through which private equity firms such as, WL Ross, Carlyle Group, Blackstone and other invested. Technically, JAK Holdings submitted its bid on behalf of the new BankUnited.
Kanas is the sole signatory on the bid document, which was obtained by Wharton finance lecturer Ken Thomas pursuant to a Freedom of Information request.
Documents obtained by Thomas reveal that the FDIC also received bids from TD Bank and JC Flowers.
The prevailing bid from the Kanas' led group put an asset "discount" on BankUnited of negative $3 billion. So-called negative bids are not uncommon in distressed bank sales and go into calculating how much the FDIC will have to contribute to the acquirer of a failed bank as part of the auction process.
In choosing the Kanas group, the FDIC called it the "least costly" option in terms of impact on the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund. With banks continuing fail, don't be surprised if you see JAK Holdings name pop up in subsequent bids.

Has anyone done a full accounting of all the assets purchased by the carlylye group in the last ten years and an accounting of who the actual investors in carlyle group are?
There are strategically important assest including computer chip makers and whole swaths of ethanol producing corn fields being purchased by these unknown investors.
If their typical actions are repeated they will now restrict production so the prices will skyrocket.

FCC Changes Position on TTS for CAP and EAS
Washington - Apr 19, 2012 - The Federal Communications Commission issued an Order on Reconsideration (adopted and released April 19, 2012), that removes the exception from the EAS-CAP Industry Group (ECIG) guidelines on text-to-speech (TTS) conversion. The FCC has decided to allow TTS conversion as per the ECIG EAS CAP Implementation Guidelines.
The FCC revision "EAS Participants may adhere to the specifications related to text-to-speech on a voluntary basis." The revision also deletes the footnote that said TTS was not allowed.

In preparation for many of Walter's thirteen hall of fame seasons he trained at what is now dubbed "Payton's Hill." The hill, previously a part of the Arlington Heights land fill that the golf course replaced, often forced Walter to dodge trash and small tree and shrub growth on his way up and down the hill. Payton's Hill, now a part of Nickol Knoll golf club, was dedicated in 2000 by the Park District to honor Walter and his accomplishments.
While some of Walter's records have been broken, including the NFL career rushing record by Emmitt Smith and the single game rushing record multiple times, Walter is still one of the best running backs of all time and certainly the best Chicago Bear of all time.

I follow J. Topolski, a New York Etsy designer, on Facebook (click here!), and recently she posted a new ring design that I must have.
No, really, there's no option here. No choice. I need this.
It's a rhinoceros ring. HOW DO I NOT OWN IT ALREADY.* The world is a confusing place.
*It's not yet available for purchase, that's why.
I already have something by J. Topolski, a gorgeous whale skeleton necklace etched in copper that I wear all the time. It isn't like I'd buy you and keep you in a dark jewelry box, rhino. I'd wear you. I'd show you to the world.
(Sometimes my whale is diving and sometimes it is surfacing. I like to make up stories about it when I notice it. Is there a squid down there, waiting to be eaten? Did you get an A on your exam and are you about to breach in celebration?)
I want it. I also want these papier-mâché rhinos, which are hand-made of recycled materials in Port-au-Prince by Caribbean Craft, which creates jobs in Haiti.
All the rhinos. Give them to me.

1990 Audi 90 Sedan quattro 4dr Sedan AWD
This little but heavy Audi is a star raceing preformer with its Sports Button and Speed-o-matic transmission. Very comfortable power seats. All leather and AWD. The pearl white paint with matching rims is a head turner with the black leather interior and tinted windows. It has been a great car, fun to race too. It now has 217k miles on it but runs well still. Also it seems to have a heavy iron frame. I hit a stone wall and not even a dent in it. It's a tough little racing car that also looks classy.

the ceiling). Ride is nice and smooth,
and very stable at higher speeds.
Handling is decent, but it's still a
family sedan :) Trunk space is decent,
as is rear seat room. Has been rock-
solid reliability-wise for me
(especially considering the mileage),
even with rather often home-to-college-
and-back drives.

Following in the footsteps of its iOS port, Final Fantasy IV has moved on to a rival mobile platform. Betting pools are still open regarding whether it will be ported the Pokéwalker next or not.
Following in the footsteps of its iOS port, Final Fantasy IV has moved on to a rival mobile platform. Betting pools are still open regarding whether it will be ported the Pokéwalker next or not.
I guess Square Enix is trying to catch up to the number of ports that Dragon's Lair has.
I consider FF4 among the better FFs, but I already have 3 or 4 copies of the game and I just don't need any more. I'm kind of doubting I'll ever play it again at this point.
To be fair, the DS version of FF4 is drastically different from other versions, and the only other time it's been ported is to iOS.
I hope they add Ouya support (seems likely since they did with FF3), I got mine the other day and it'd be pretty neat to play this on the big screen.
Hey publishers! We console players like RPGs too. Throw some ports our way.
I don't think console players can complain of a lack of opportunities to play Final Fantasy IV.

Well maybe. There is the SNES version. The SNES version is on the Wii VC, and there was Final Fantasy Chronicles on the PSX. And you could always hook up a PSP to your TV and play FF4 Complete on there. But otherwise, most of the ports & remakes and ports of remakes have been on some variety of handheld.
I always forget that some people don't consider handheld gaming devices to be consoles. I have a feeling Square is avoiding doing ports/remakes on consoles because the fanbase would then expect them to have full HD quality graphics (Virtual Console excepted). That'd be awfully expensive for VII and below, and they outright said that's why they aren't remaking VII.
You can say it wouldn't be like that, but look into your heart and the depths of various fan forums, and you know it to be true.
Twitter: BeckyCFreelance
That's a good point. I'm personally not really interested in having the older games on a console. BUT, if they did it, I would like to see some sort of anniversary collection or something with all the games playable on a single console. Enhancements would be nice in that situation, but not particularly necessary. That's about the only way I think they could get away with re-releasing the games without doing a major overhaul for modern consoles.
Or they could release it on the Ouya. That's a thing, right?
Well, I wasn't talking about plain ol' FF4. The way I see it, if other publishers can port 3DS/PSP games to the stationary consoles, then Square can too.
We do, we just don't like clarifying "handheld console" or "stationary console" or whatever every time we type it out.I always forget that some people don't consider handheld gaming devices to be consoles.
Really? I always thought console means connected to TV screen in contrast to handheld.
But there is really no need for FF4 to be on consoles. I want Etrian's Odyssey, Golden Sun 3, Parasite Eve 3 and the new Star Ocean 1 port for consoles, though!

Nah, a console can be any one of those devices.
And semi-related, Sega just announced their entire line of core Sonic games (1 - 4) for the Ouya. Guess your publisher of choice needs to be desperate before you see their games on more than one console, heh.
I think we should stick to:
console - only those connected to TV
handheld - not connected to TV
I really don't want to write "stationary console" every time I complain about something only being released on a handheld. =p
Or at least find a shorter word for it. Like tvsole. Or deskheld!

How about just not complaining
as for the definition Actually Game Console does not mean a handheld according to dictionary.com taken from the World English Dictionary
World English Dictionary
games console
— n
an electronic device used in playing computer games on the screen of a television to which it is connected
I am bad and that is good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be than me - Wreck-it-Ralph
27 years of gaming and still going strong
and now a Proud if slightly annoyed Father :D
Hah! Knew it. So let's stick with handheld vs. console.
I'll complain until they stop making RPGs for handhelds. Dead to all handhelds!How about just not complaining
There is no particular reason to find a consensus on the meanings of the words console and handheld when so few other words have universally consistent usage. I know I've referred to handhelds as consoles in the past, though I'll admit I do that less these days. I certainly won't say that doing so is wrong, even if it is less common.
Huh. I always followed Rya's (apparently official and correct) definition. I never realized that there was any non-consensus or confusion on the difference between a "console" and a "handheld". I guess it's kind of the same as how so many people don't understand the difference between a "port" and a "remake" and seem to use the terms interchangeably.
Back on topic, I wonder how long it'll take before the inevitable FF4 release on android. As far as I know, we have all the major iOS titles other than ATB (and really, who wants that ported anyway?).
Especially in a community it should be very important that everyone uses the same word so people understand each other.There is no particular reason to find a consensus on the meanings of the words console and handheld

Carpet Extractor Rental — Just the Facts:
Steam cleaner rentals are available through two main national brands: Rug Doctor and Bissell. Both offer machines that can be used for deep cleaning purposes. A carpet extractor rental unit usually costs $25 and up to rent, is mostly available for 24-hour increments, and requires a deposit and proof of ID. Rug Doctor and Bissell can be rented at Rug Doctor and Bissell locations, but also at national chains such as Home Depot and Lowe's.
Don't feel like hiring someone to take care your house for you? There are two well-known national chains that provide carpet extractor rentals. They are Rug Doctor and Bissell, and they are available at a number of different locations. Here are the details.
Rug Doctor Carpet Extractor Rental
Phone number: 1-800-Rug Doctor (784-3628)
Rug Doctor is probably the best-known carpet extractor rental. The company has over 30,000 locations (that's a lot!), so chances are there's a rental location very, very close to you.
Rug Doctor rents two types of machines:
- The Mighty Pro Machine. The Might Pro is the smaller of the two machines that Rug Doctor offers, and it usually rents between $20 and $30 (depending on the area you live in; prices may vary). The Might Pro weighs 36 pounds when empty, and is a good choice if you're cleaning a house or a small business.
- The Wide Track. A wide-track carpet extractor rental has a wider vacuuming head, and is commonly used for larger commercial spaces. For example, if you owned a restaurant with a wall-to-wall carpet that covered the entire dining area, the Wide Track would probably be a good option for you. The Wide Track weighs 44 pounds when empty, and usually rents from between $25 and $32 (again, depending on your area).
Those weights—36 pounds and 44 pounds—may sound heavy to some people, but the carpet extractor rentals themselves are not difficult to use. It's basically the same thing as operating a vacuum cleaner, except there is a spray switch that injects cleaning solution and hot water into the carpet. The units are built to last, too—they're sturdy and have rugged wheels that help you move them around.
Is a Rug Doctor Carpet Extractor Rental Safe for My Carpet?
Rug Doctor machines are safe for most carpets, but you should contact the manufacturer of your carpet to be certain that the carpet you own is intended for hot water extraction cleaning. Certain carpets, such as silk or wool rugs, braided rugs, or jute carpets, are not made for water extraction. Make sure you know the material used in your carpet, and ask your serviceperson when renting if the Rug Doctor unit and cleanser are simpatico.
Here are some other common questions people need to know:
- Are there handtools that come with the machine? The carpet extractor rentals come with a variety of tools, including a Hand Tool attachment, which can be used to clean stairs or the flooring carpet in a car. The hand tool may cost a few extra dollars to rent, so ask your salesperson if it's included in your rental package. (Also note that the cleaning solution may not be free with the rental, and may pose another additional cost).
- Can I use the rental on rugs or carpets that have been damaged by flood water? The carpet extractor rentals clean your carpet, but can also be used to extract water from a carpet that was made wet by a flood. HOWEVER, as it states on the Rug Doctor website, "The machine is an electrical appliance. Good judgment must be exercised when extracting water from overly wet carpet as there could be a risk of electric shock. The machine should NEVER be used on a carpet or anywhere where standing water remains. Only carpets and upholstery that are damp, not water laden or soggy are safe for extraction." As always, if you have questions regarding flood waters, water damage, or carpet restoration after a flood, CALL A PROFESSIONAL.
- What do I need to rent one? Finally, to rent a Rug Doctor, you'll need two forms of ID to rent a machine (driver's license, passport, student ID with photo, etc). Deposits are required at some stores but not at others, and the amount of deposit may vary. Most stores will not rent a machine without a valid credit card.
Many people are very pleased with Rug Doctors, and their business has flourished over the years. If you're a DIY type, Rug Doctor is a good choice.
Bissell Carpet Extractor Rental
Phone number: Phone: 1-800-749-9062
Bissell units use the power of hot water extraction to remove tough stains and odors. They, too, have rental locations all across the country, so finding a store near you should not be a problem.
Bissell's main rental is the Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine, which is an extremely powerful tool in disinfecting your carpets. The carpet extractor rental is so highly regarded, that they are offered for rental at PetSmart stores nation-wide! If anybody knows which carpet steamers are good rentals, it's a national pet chain.
Is a Bissell Carpet Extractor Rental Safe for my Carpet?
As always, Bissell alerts everyone renting their machine to check the manufacturer's instructions and make sure that the carpet is safe for hot water extraction methods. It also urges renters to make sure that use of the machine won't damage the flooring underneath the carpet or rug. Many carpets have a treated underside to the rug that keeps water from impacting the flooring below the rug, but NOT ALL RUGS AND CARPETS have this feature, so it's important to check with the manufacturer.
Some other questions that people need to know:
- How much does the machine weigh? The Big Green Deep Cleaning machine weights in at 42 pounds.
- Are there handtools that come with the machine? Onboard tools are available with Bissell rentals, and a stain tool and hose are available (at an additional cost) that can be used to clain stairs. The carpet extractor rental comes with a 25-foot extension cord, so no additional extension cords should be used.
- Can I use the rental on rugs or carpets that have been damaged by flood water? Unlike Rug Doctor, the Bissell website is very clear that rental units should only be used for the cleaning process: "NEVER use this machine on carpet or anywhere where standing water remains. This product should only be used on carpet moistened by the cleaning process."
- What's the cost? The cost of a Bissell rental usually starts at $24.99 for a 24-hour rental cycle, but that too is subject to location. There are usually coupons available online, and a quick Google search for "bissell rental coupon" or "bissell petsmart coupon" should find you a reduced rental rate.
Does Lowe's Have a Carpet Cleaner I Can Rent? What About Home Depot?
Good question! The answer is yes—you can get a Bissell carpet extractor rental at at Lowe's, and Home Depot also has a machine that they've made that is available for rental.
Here's the breakdown:
- Home Depot has a deep cleaning unit that you can rent for four hours at a cost of $20, or $29 for a full day. The unit is excellent for cleaning residential areas or small offices or small commercial spaces, and weighs 40 pounds. For details regarding on-board tools (ie, whether you can use the unit to clean stairs), contact your nearest location. There are Home Depots all over the place, so finding one shouldn't be difficult, but make sure that the location you go to has a Tool Rental department.
- Lowe's offers Bissell rentals at many of their locations. The Bissell rental is their Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine (for information about the machine, see details above), and units are rented for 24-hour time increments. Lowe's has a strong national presence in the U.S. and Canada, so chances are there is a Lowe's near you. If you're not sure which location suits your needs, you can call the national number at 1-800-749-9062.
Can I rent a carpet cleaner with UHaul?
Yes indeed. If you're moving in or moving out, and you want to rent a carpet cleaner but you don't know where to go, U-Haul offers Rug Doctor rentals at many of their locations. The price of the rental is usually around $24.99 (again, prices vary according to location), and a refundable deposit of $40 is required with the rental.
Final Thoughts on Your Carpet Extractor Rental
If you're a DIYer, you've got some very reliable options! Renting a deep cleaner is a way to sanitize the carpets and rugs in your house or business, and if you don't have the space for a huge machine but you have carpets that need cleaning, a rental from one of the companies above it a great option.

My apologies again for going a long stretch, once the school term start, for not making a post for five weeks. Anyway, we need to finish up our profile of the former speechwriter in the Carter administration. This time, within the larger discussion of the pressures and concerns that influence a speechwriter while composing, comes an interesting reflection on how the role of speechwriter within a president's administration over the past 50 years or so.
While the subject thought the most successful speech writers were also advisors, a la Theodore Sorensen, the closest she thought they got to policy making was through their style choices. The most memorable contribution she thinks she made to the energy policy debate was for a speech she isn't sure was ever used, because the botched 1980 attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages occurred around the same time. "It did eventually get used because I've heard this quoted, not quoted from him, but I've heard this used by others and it was where it went into the 12,000 mile pipeline. Half the oil we use is at the other end. And that's a real simple thing but up until then I had not heard anybody make that analogy or that comparison. But it was true and it was … to illustrate the dangers; it's a vulnerability when half of something you use so much every day is 12,000 miles away, half a world away. And when you get over there that, it trickling down, it's even less stable than it was then, although it wasn't too great. … And I think he used it at some point. I don't know, but anyways it was not an attempt to try to change what he was communicating. It was an attempt to reinforce it. Cause people … were not buying into the idea that this was in fact a legitimate crisis."
The other possible source of influence comes in the form of prevention, of avoiding the kind of statement that could seriously damage a policy initiative. The subject illustrated this point with the story of her current boss's (an engineer like Jimmy Carter) trip to a "defense writer's group breakfast" in Las Vegas to discuss a proposed "experimental plan for the Nevada test site, to explode a large amount of ammonium fertilizer basically and fuel oil," a mixture similar to the infamous 1995 Oklahoma City truck bomb. "They need, it's not nuclear weapons, it's that they need to understand what ground shock does if you blow something. So they have this big pit of stuff that they were gonna blow up and there were tunnels underneath. Well, he says, 'Oh, we're going to do this experiment at the test site. So this is going to be the first time since we've tested nuclear weapons we're going to see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas.'" Given Nevada's history with nuclear bomb testing, and the concomitant issues of environmental damage and fallout injurious to health, there was an immediate uproar over the remark. The test was put on hold and hadn't happened by the time of our interview. "People … don't understand that lots of explosives make little mushroom clouds; it's not simply a nuclear weapon but everybody associates that with nuclear weapons certainly. … Nobody in Las Vegas is upset when they blow up an old hotel and right in front of everybody and dirt and dust and god knows what. They don't worry about that, so that would have been a better comparison. Like blowing up the Stardust … . It would have been better to put it in those terms. It'll be bigger; it'll be like blowing up five Stardust hotels or something. You know, that would have been okay. It was 'mushroom cloud' that did it." In seeking to explain the gaffe, perhaps to herself most of all, the subject said her boss was "really a sharp, sharp, sharp guy," and "very good on his feet;" which may explain his lack of "patience with coaching."
The functions of style were to convey information accurately, and in an appropriate manner, which making the content attractive and memorable. Speech writing had in common with journalism that the writer has to "get rid of the fluff and make sure you've got the meat and maybe some parsley, but be sure you have stuff."
*How White House speechwriting became distanced from policy creation has been chronicled in an article that appeared in the Spring, 1998 issue of the journal Polity. ("Policymakers and Wordsmiths: Writing for the President under Johnson and Nixon" by Karen M. Hult and Charles E. Walcott.) Through the Kennedy administration, the presidents after Hoover ("the last E. Walcott.) Through the Kennedy administration, the presidents after Hoover ("the last president to do most of his own writing") relied on close advisors to also function as their principal speechwriters. But the demands for presidential communication were exploding with the increasing presence of television, with advances in transportation making it easier for presidents to travel and speak to various groups, and with the enormous amount of policy initiatives Lyndon Johnson needed to explain to both Congress and the public. So Johnson created three tiers of writers—senior advisers, writers who specialized in particular policy areas (like our Clinton speechwriter), and "a separate staff writing minor presidential messages," disdainfully labeled "Rose Garden rubbish" during Johnson's presidency. Communication among these groups was often strained or non-existent, poisoned by turf battles. Nixon momentarily reversed this trend, but "in all subsequent administrations … writers have become largely technicians, with expertise in crafting speeches and promoting presidents rather than in policy. … Nixon's successors have followed the practice of placing writers in a distinct unit located at a relatively low level of the White House hierarchy." Moreover, this separation between policy and writers seems to have trickled down to the less rarefied political strata. By our own subjects' testimony, speech writers commonly seek out policy makers as part of researching a speech. The writer at the Washington Metro, who had never worked at the White House, struggled to separate the functions of policy making and speech writing. Our two subjects who had written in the Carter and Clinton White Houses were clearly distant from the presidents' circles of policy advisors. According to Hult and Walcott, Carter's "writers were excluded from senior policy discussions, the president rarely met with writers, and internal policy conflicts prevailed …" Even our Pittsburgh speechwriter appeared to have much more contact with a layer of close advisors than with the candidates themselves when preparing a speech.

The past 20 years has brought enormous advances in fields of science that contribute to our understanding of the biology of psychiatric illnesses and their treatment. However, the great expansion of information in "psychiatric neuroscience" has been reductionistic in nature, i.e. there has been an accumulation of extensive details of the molecular nature of biological processes that contribute to brain function.
Despite the flood of knowledge in molecular neuroscience, our understanding of how molecular events lead to normal and abnormal behavior remains enigmatic. The faculty of the Division of Neurobiology and Behavior Research (DNBR) are engaged in research activities designed to build bridges between cellular/molecular events and behavior. These efforts can be described best as "forward" and "reverse" translational psychiatry research.
Psychiatry research that is forward translational attempts to explain how neuronal activity, beginning at the molecular level, 'translates' to elicitation of behavior, and to utilize this information to develop new or better pharmacological treatments for psychiatric illnesses. Reverse translational research in psychiatry attempts to determine the molecular underpinnings that contribute to the expression of abnormal behavior. Inherent in the latter research are efforts to elucidate the pathology of psychiatric illness at the level of molecular neurochemistry (including genomics) or neuroanatomy. The discovery of human brain abnormalities associated with psychiatric disease, whether morphological or at the level of the transcriptome, does not imply a cause of illness.
Therefore, researchers must take human pathological findings "back to the bench" in order to understand them. That is, these findings must be interpreted in the laboratory using non-human systems (cell culture, animal models) in order to investigate their molecular pathogenesis and their relationship to abnormal behavior.
In the DNBR, numerous psychiatric illnesses are under study, including major depression, schizophrenia, substance abuse disorders, sleep disorders, and Alzheimer's disease. The outcome of the Division's research activities carries the promise of novel and/or improved approaches to the treatment of psychiatric illnesses. Most of the faculty members of the DNBR are located in the first floor of the Arthur C. Guyton Laboratory Research Building at the University of Mississippi Medical School. Psychiatry residents have the unique opportunity to participate in basic/clinical research activities of the DNBR as a part of a research elective in the Residency Training Program.
The Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior initiated the organization of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience in 2007. The Program in Neuroscience (PIN -http://neuroscience.umc.edu/) is an interdepartmental collaborative PhD training program that includes 42 faculty members from 15 departments across the UMMC campus and is directed by Dr. Ian A. Paul, professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior. The PIN receives administrative support from the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience as well as generous stipend support from the School of Graduate Studies in the Health Sciences and currently trains 10 PhD and 1 MD/PhD students. All of the faculty in the DNBR, along with faculty in the Division of Psychology, participate in the PIN teaching and research training. In addition, Psychiatry residents have the unique opportunity to participate in basic/clinical research activities of the PIN and DNBR as a part of a research elective in the Residency Training Program. Faculty currently receive generous support from the University of Mississippi Medical Center, as well as external support from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, the Alzheimer's Association, and numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Division currently has nearly $20 million in external research support, most of which comes from the National Institutes of Health. The division is also home to the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience.

Lanesplitter (North Berkeley)
Lanesplitter Pizza and Pub has two locations for their tasty pizzas and modest but delicious selection of top-tier craft beers on tap, one in Oakland's Temescal district and the original, here in Berkeley. They also feature at least one cask ale on hand pull and a nice selection of bottled beers. This is a motorcycle and family friendly spot with a back patio area, little cafe tables indoors, a modest TV behind the bar for sports updates and excellent regional beers.
Extras: They are only 3 blocks from one of the best retail beer stores in the Bay Area, Ledger's Liquors, 1399 University Avenue at Acton (on the walking route back to BART).
2033 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley • (510) 845-1652
Walking from BART: Exit and turn right, heading away from the hills, cutting across towards the southwest corner of the parking lot at Acton and Delaware Streets. Take Acton south for three short blocks. Turn right at University Avenue, and continue three long blocks west. (Or you could take a bus for these three blocks on University if you wanted to wait at the bus stop). Turn left onto San Pablo Avenue for about half a block.

Study of bacteria. Modern understanding of bacterial forms dates from Ferdinand Cohn's classifications. Other researchers, such as Louis Pasteur, established the connection between bacteria and fermentation and disease. The modern methods of bacteriological technique began in the late 19th century with the use of stains and the development of methods of cultivating organisms on plates of nutrients. Important discoveries came when Pasteur succeeded in immunizing animals against two bacterial diseases, which led to the development of immunology. See also microbiology.
