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 Travis Tritt!
Facts about Travis Tritt
- Breed: Rottweiler/Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Travis Tritt's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Travis Tritt is well known in the country music world for his good looks and bad boy image....but this Travis is NO bad boy! He's a good, little pup who is ready for a great home! He was found after his mom gave birth to him and his littermates under a shed in the dead of winter. He is a happy guy now and looking for his forever home!
Other Pets at Beyond Bars Animal Rescue - Wytheville Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Travis Tritt, a Wytheville Rottweiler/Golden Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler/Golden Retriever for sale in Wytheville, or seeking a Rottweiler/Golden Retriever puppy from a breeder in Wytheville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wytheville 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 Wytheville 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 Rottweiler/Golden Retriever breeders who help with Rottweiler/Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wytheville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thanks, Giro. I don't really know the bounds of good etiquette on his sort of thing. I see in the man page for wget it says this about --user agent:

That means that if you use that option you will be ripping that site against the will of the webmaster. The message tells you to think about that and if that really is what you want to do .

Florida Comedy Club releases trapped guffaws with weekly shows featuring veteran comics and newbie-friendly open mics. Upcoming laughmeisters include Tom Segura, a veteran of late-night TV, Comedy Central, and a slew of international comedy festivals who chucks chuckles on October 27 to benefit breast-cancer research. After each show, the club invites performers of all stripes to regale audiences with standup, music, and poetry. The Playwright Irish Pub ensconces guests in Celtic elegance, with drink specials and a full menu to restore energy burned while riotously laughing or performing between-set medicine-ball tosses.
Caffe Martier's menu yokes together gourmet salads, sandwiches, and Mediterranean fare served in a café with the élan of European-bistro sophistication. Salmon, cream cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes adorn the cod salmon pizza starter's whole-wheat flat bread base before being drizzled with pesto, and the greek bruschetta's feta, kalamata olives, and diced tomatoes play Twister atop foccacio bread. Graze the greenery of the roasted pepper-topped arugula-endive salad or opt for a spinach salad with figs and feta, sprinkled with toasted pecans and roasted peppers before being doused in a spicy lime dressing. Chefs assemble sandwiches and wraps using only kosher meats, and each arrives with an edible sidekick of organic mesclun and chickpea salad.
From the moment guests step into its entryway and pass its showcase of Fabergé eggs, Tatiana Restaurant & Cabaret Show carefully choreographs a journey through the nobility and flair of Russia's history. Like an Eastern European palace, its opulence stretches through three levels and 10,500 square feet, adorned with grand-cathedral balconies, Murano glass fixtures, and an ornate ceiling hammered with 24-karat gold accents that took artists four months to complete. And yet, this splendor can be quickly eclipsed once dinner begins. From à la carte and prix fixe menus, up to 600 guests dine on traditional Russian cuisine that includes a cold beet borscht, but is not limited to it. When a Miami.com reviewer visited Tatiana's, she praised the vareniki—semicircle ravioli filled with potatoes, cheese, or sour cherries.
After the meal, Tatiana's swaps bustling servers for a swarm of singers, dancers, and DJs. During shows that pay homage to Russian culture, Moulin Rouge, and Las Vegas–style cabarets, the performers twirl through smoke and light on and off a stage that can rise six feet in the air to aid performers in midshow slam dunks. The house band continues to wail after the smoke has cleared, opening up the dance floor for couples who can pas de deux into the wee morning hours.
Beautiful waitresses clad in plaid mini kilts crisscross Tilted Kilt, hoisting trays of Celtic-themed pub fare as sports fans catch games on high-definition TVs. Almost a decade old, the Tilted Kilt franchise originated in Las Vegas, where restaurateur Mark DiMartino first conceived of a sports bar with Irish touches—an idea that has since spread across the country. Patrons can stay out late at the pub, spending the night sipping on beers while sampling burgers, fish 'n' chips, or shepherd's pie filled with beef and veggies. On a weekly basis, musicians enliven the already party-like atmosphere, strumming tunes or throwing up fistfuls of counterfeit money on the eatery's patio.
Walls painted in sumptuous shades of crimson and mocha and dark wood flooring create a warm space at Oceans 11 Sports Lounge and Grill for diners to enjoy laidback pub dishes. Locals flock in for their wings served 10 flavorful ways, which include three levels of spiciness, a spicy garlic version, and grilled wings. Diners can also draft their own half- or full-pound burger, customized with bacon, mushrooms, or amendments written in jalapeños. The menu also includes fresh bites plucked from the sea, such as crispy buffalo shrimp and battered cod.
Ps23's stylists and makeup techs customize their signature hairstyles and makeup looks to each client's desires, treating tresses with products from brands such as Moroccanoil, Pravana, and KeraCare. Aestheticians employ Medusa cosmetics and cuts come with soothing scalp massages. They specialize in color, extensions, and relaxers, and also expertly apply skin-nourishing facials as well as wax during hair-removal treatments.

The question I get asked the most is, "If I don't have enough money for a patent, what else can I do?" In the long run, a patent is the only way to protect your invention. However, in June 1995, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) created another way to protect your invention and buy you some time. For a small fee, you can file a provisional application for a patent.
Tomima Edmark, the woman famous for her Topsy Tail invention has now turned her creative talents to the competitive retail arena of intimate apparel, HerRoom and HisRoom.

Green beans
Bob Colson, president of Cheriton, Va.-based C&E Farms, which packs up to 700,000 bushels of green beans for customers along the I-95 corridor, also reports a good start to the 2012 season.
"We started planting in Havelock, N.C. on March 26, said Colson, "and the crop is looking great, with some nice rainfall."
To combat average green bean prices and stimulate movement, Colson said he has been offering chain stores good ad pricing to keep retails down.

China will use its foreign exchange reserves to make more overseas acquisitions, the country's premier Wen Jiabao said in an interview.
Wen told diplomats he wanted China to hasten its 'going out' strategy, which refers to big investments and acquisitions overseas. Although China has made many big acquisitions in recent months, HSBC's chief China economist Qu Hongbin said this was the "first official articulation" of a policy to directly support Chinese companies make foreign acquisitions.
In case you were wondering what role commodities would play in this:
In an interview published in state-controlled media, the chairman of China Development Bank said Chinese outbound investment would accelerate but should focus on resource-rich developing economies.
"Everyone is saying we should go to the western markets to scoop up [underpriced assets]," said Chen Yuan. "I think we should not go to America's Wall Street, but should look more to places with natural and energy resources."

It should be evident to most people that the last 100 years have been very violent in the financial world. Why? What happened to cause all this turbulence?
During this period we have witnessed the bloodiest century of all time. Two World Wars. Endless smaller wars all over the earth. An influenza epidemic after WWI. Nations formed and then self-destructed. New diseases coming into existence. Endless turmoil in the Mid-East. Empires coming apart. Financial euphoria followed by inevitable busts. Unbelievably powerful weapons and weapon systems. Propaganda perpetrated on an unsuspecting public such as catastrophic man-made global warming. The list could take several pages to itemize them.

Becoming Your Own Banker is exploding nationally; there is a vital need for agents who thoroughly understand the banking concept, and most importantly believe in, and support the integrity of the Infinite Banking message as Nelson Nash envisioned it.

In this article, I will summarize Nelson Nash's Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) for the novice, but I will do so in the context of my own experience in learning about it. I'm making the article autobiographical because part of the story involves the newly launched IBC Practitioner's Program, and I can't fully explain the rationale of the program without describing the situation that I (and the other founders) perceived beforehand.

In Defense of Pilfering
Stealing is wrong. It makes private property less secure and requires the diversion of otherwise productive resources to the uses necessary to reduce stealing in the future. Stealing appropriates the fruits of someone else's labor without his permission.
Nonetheless, those who are in the news for pilfering the shuttle debris that rained down on Texas and Louisiana earlier this month are getting a bad rap. In the weeks following the tragic ending of the space shuttle Columbia and the deaths of seven crew members, several individuals have been caught collecting the space garbage that littered their property, possibly impeding NASA's effort to investigate this latest government failure.
Several opportunists attempted to offer pieces of the shuttle for auction on eBay. Indeed, by two o'clock on the day of the shuttle crash, an item billed as "Columbia Space Shuttle Debris" listed there with an opening bid of $10,000.
Needless to say, many opinion-makers are shocked by such seemingly boorish behavior. "These people aren't the underbelly of society," wrote The Press of Atlantic City (where much of the underbelly of society seem to live). "They're lower than that."
The Miami Herald's Carl Hiaasen noted that several individuals retrieved and then offered for sale the debris with full knowledge that they may be contaminated with potentially fatal chemicals and that prosecution can result in 10-year jail terms and $250,000 fines. Hiaasen considers these people the "chronically clueless"—so uniquely stupid, in fact, that science may benefit by studying their brains.
But to quote a famous Alabama philosopher, stupid is as stupid does. Such pilfering may be completely compatible with an ethic of liberty, and for the state to impose such harsh penalties on this activity may actually make the recovery process all the more difficult.
The argument against the pilfering is straightforward: Columbia is government property. Therefore, the government has the right to retrieve it, and its citizens have the responsibility to aid the government in this effort. Such an argument is loosely connected to a property rights theory. The pilferers are taking control of property that is not theirs.
However, there are several of problems with this argument. To say that Columbia is government property, or to say that anything is government property, is to say that it was built by the use of coerced capital. Taxation itself is a form of theft—both theft and taxes are examples of involuntary trade—so while NASA held legal title to Columbia, its very existence was made possible by resources appropriated by the threat of force.
This fact places the government's property right claim to the shuttle in a different light than one's property right claim to his car, assuming that the latter was appropriated through voluntary trade. Indeed, the pilferers might legitimately claim that they were recovering wealth that had previously been taken from them in the form of taxation.
In any event, pilferers are under no strict obligation to return debris that fell on their private property. While the government can retrieve shuttle remains on public lands in any way it sees fit, it cannot violate the rights of property owners simply because they were unfortunate enough to wake up one morning and find government property on their land.
Mistakes happen. Parties accidentally encroach on the property of others all the time. But there are established common law relationships that sort out the consequences that assure that the rights of affected parties are respected. The government's actions following the shuttle disaster illustrate what it thinks about such arrangements.
An example may illustrate. Assume a car accident on your street results in a damaged automobile being left on your front lawn. You would suffer legal damage if you appropriated the car for yourself or damaged it in any way, although you would also have protections insuring the vehicle's removal in a reasonable amount of time and compensation for any damage it might have done to your property. Civilized people would be appalled if the owner sent messages threatening violence if you tampered with the vehicle in any way.
Civility is not exactly one of the hallmarks of the modern state. Its harsh penalties being imposed on pilferers may ensure that NASA retrieves less shuttle debris than it otherwise would. Surely by now there has been much shuttle debris that has been appropriated by individuals that will never be found out of fear of strict consequences from being caught with it. The penalty itself causes such debris' value in extra-legal markets to increase. Pieces that could fetch higher prices would more likely be hoarded to compensate the added cost of being caught.
NASA search efforts would have been much better served if it encouraged private individuals to collect as much shuttle debris as possible to sell on the market. This strategy would have created an incentive for those with possible knowledge of debris locations to come forward with it. Millions of dollars would have been saved while today's excoriated pilferers would instead be praised for providing a helpful service.
Instead, the government blunders on, forcing its will however it wants. Overzealous? Don't worry. The lawyers will fix it later. This latest episode of government failure shows once again how accustomed society has become to the lower standards associated with government action.
Any doubters of this statement should ask themselves: How long would it take for lawyers to contact potential victims of fallen debris following a similar tragedy that occurred to a private defense contractor? I don't know. But we can assume it would be faster than it takes to get an auction posted to eBay.

Iron Horse Festival
Iron Horse Festival
Iron Horse Festival poster.
After humble beginnings and nearly 20 years in operation, the Iron Horse Festival has grown to become one of south-western Ontario's largest street festivals and one of the largest annual events in St. Thomas.
The Iron Horse Festival began in 1994, when a group of individuals, business leaders, community groups and government established an organization named On Track. Its goal was to create a tourism industry based upon the area's railway heritage. It was suggested that a community festival would be an ideal way to bring the public to St Thomas. On Track wanted to combine the elements of a street festival with a focus on railway heritage.
The festival was put together as an event that would be similar to the old St. Thomas Shivaree, (an event held in the early 1970s). Then Mayor Steve Peters suggested the name Iron Horse Festival to coincide with On Track's railway theme, and thus the Festival was born.
The challenge was to try to combine the already established events into the Festival celebrations while not losing the events' identity and audience. The first organizing meetings took place in the old Michigan Central Locomotive Repair Shops. In the beginning, the organizing committee focused on bringing together events and groups to create the essential ingredients for the first festival.
Events from the first year included: a family midway, rib-fest, street busker entertainment, car show, golf tournament, hand car races and pancake breakfast. Most have stood the test of time, have grown more popular with each passing year, and remain part of the festivities today.
The first two years saw the Festival take place in many locations throughout the city and over ten days. The third and fourth years saw the festival gradually move all of the events to the downtown area. Combining all of the events into the closed street area gave the festival focus and excitement.
During these years several new events were tried that began to bring local, as well as regional media acclaim, and event sponsorship. In 1996 "World's Largest Line Dance" event, in 1997, the first annual outdoor concerts, and the first bi-annual "Kelly Miller Circus" are just a few of the exciting events that have drawn the people in. Several annual On Track activities (railway heritage coin sales, and the railway mural paintings and dedications) were combined with the Festival, to provide the public with an even stronger connection to a piece of our past.
Like any new enterprise, especially one run by volunteers, the first few years were a struggle. Though the event seemed to impress the public, it was not well promoted. Fortunately, more and more sponsors came on board each year, and the crowds grew. The Iron Horse Festival was featured on CBC's Newsworld in 1998, when CBC checked out the leading festivals in the country. In 1998, blessed with great weather, more organizations participating, increased fundraising initiatives, and a lot of help from friends at CBC, the event enjoyed the most critically and financially successful year to date.

The Nokia Lumia 920 has been one of the biggest smartphone hits of the year. The device is the latest flagship model from the Finland based manufacturer and like several of its previous models incorporates Microsoft's Windows Phone OS, in the latest version called Windows Phone 8.
Nokia has been somewhat pinning its hopes on the success of this device, as the company has struggled over the last couple of years to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple, these handsets continue to dominate the market by a considerable margin. Given the promising early sales of Lumia 920, Nokia is no doubt relieved.
Early reports have suggested that the Nokia Lumia 920 has already sold in excess of 2.5 million handsets within a month is being launched. Furthermore, retailers in a handful of countries such as Germany, Australia and the U.S. have reportedly sold out of stock of the Lumia 920.
In the UK, demand is also anticipated to be particularly high. For example, a notable online retailer in the UK has reportedly sold out of pre-order stock of the Nokia Lumia 920 not once, but twice. This includes all available colour variants, and all pre-ordered phones have been unlocked handsets. The fact that the phone costs well over £500 for the SIM free version is another illustration of how much demand there is for the phone. For up to date Nokia Lumia 920 information and news please visit our website where you can also find the cheapest Nokia Lumia 920 Offers.
It is rare for a smartphone model to receive such a high levels of attention and only happens to one or two smartphone models every year, so the Lumia 920 looks set to be a very popular device for the UK. Unfortunately at this stage, we do not have any more information regarding the phone number Lumia 920 devices have been pre-ordered in the UK. However, given the anticipated demand for the device, numbers are likely to be quite substantial.

Phillips' return is Cowboys' loss
Jerry Jones ends an era of Super Bowl-or-else expectations by bringing back coach
At some point Monday or early this week Jerry Jones will confirm that he is bringing Wade Phillips back as head coach of the Cowboys next season and pro football as we have known and loved it here in Dallas-Fort Worth will change forever.
It will signal a sea change in the way we look at the Cowboys and, more importantly, the way Jerry Jones looks at his franchise.
Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, the Cowboys were all about championships. Not division championships. Not regular-season "championships." Not even NFC championships. They were about Super Bowls and world championships. Nothing less would do.
More on the Cowboys
Tim MacMahon, Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Top 50 Cowboys
If we try hard enough, maybe we can convince ourselves that that's not a big thing, that this is simply not the franchise it was in the mid-'90s, that we need to quit frolicking in the past and understand how much things have changed.
At the same time, I can't help but feel sadness for the passing of something unique and precious, something that set the Dallas Cowboys apart from almost every other team in the NFL. This was a franchise with only one goal, and nothing else was good enough. This was a Super Bowl-or-bust organization. Anything less was a failure and not to be tolerated.
With Wade Phillips, Jerry has decided to settle. He knows, probably better than any of us, that Wade is not a championship coach. You see, around here, we know championship coaches. We know what they look like, what they sound like, what they coach like.
Wade is no Tom Landry. Or Jimmy Johnson. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Bill Walsh. Or Bill Parcells. Or Bill Cowher, for that matter. Jones knows that.
Head coaches like those possess an inimitable charisma, a commanding presence, that lets everyone in the room know who they are and what they are about: excellence.
Wade has all the charisma of a wrinkled plaid shirt, the presence of a timid shoe salesman.
Wade is the head coach, standing on the sideline after Sunday's 34-3 mugging at the Metrodome, yapping, "We'll remember this next year," at the backs of triumphant Vikings players.
Unfortunately, so will we.
Cowher would have punched somebody in the mouth, but my guess is that that somebody would have been wearing Cowboys' silver, not Vikings' purple. That's who deserved Phillips' venom, not the Vikings.
Wade is the guy who didn't have the guts to go for it on fourth-and-less-than-a-yard at the Minnesota 30 in the first quarter, when the Cowboys had the momentum, then stands there shaking his head in disgust when his claimed-in-December kicker misses from 48 yards. After the game, Wade had the audacity to try to argue with reporters that it wasn't fourth-and-1. Either he didn't know the actual distance or he didn't want to admit he'd blown it. Either way, it's unacceptable.
Not to mention that Jones rendered his own indictment of the decision when he admitted that Shaun Suisham's pregame warm-up kicks from more than 45 yards were "dicey" at best.
Phillips is a good football coach, and if that sounds contradictory, it's not. He knows defense. What he doesn't know is how to lead. That's why he was so desperate to bring in someone like linebacker Keith Brooking, because that leadership has to come from somewhere. At least we should give Phillips credit for knowing his own vulnerability, even if he will never admit it publicly.
Phillips is not a championship-caliber head coach. That used to matter around here.
For Jerry, though, what seems most important now is having a coach he can manipulate, someone who will never tell him no. Jerry wants a yes man and Wade fits that role perfectly. He will win regular-season games because the Cowboys have a talented team. When the matchup is right, as it was against a Philadelphia team that had no running game this year, he might even win a playoff game now and then.
I've heard the argument that starting over with another new head coach and a new staff would be a bad thing, that the progress that has been made here would be lost. I look at it from a different angle, I guess. Since I'm convinced that the Cowboys can't win a Super Bowl with this head coach, or even get close to one, then I don't see starting over as a setback. I see it as the first step to getting things right.
But that premise is based on the old way of thinking, the way the Cowboys used to be, when the only goal was winning it all and nothing else mattered.
The bar is about to be lowered, and Dallas Cowboys football as we've known and loved it will change, maybe forever.
A moment of silence, please, for the passing of something great and wonderful.
