By Paul Chesser, nlpc.org
The "fiscal cliff" agreement was not only low-lighted by a wholesale surrender on taxes and spending by the Republicans, but also featured special favors and breaks for recreational industries like film production ($430 million) and motorsports ($70 million), as well as the sector that has been oft-criticized since President Obama entered the White House: renewable energy.
Specifically, while nothing new came through for often-bashed electric automobiles, tax credits (all continuations of credits that were set to expire) were extended to plug-in motorcycles. Buyers are allowed to deduct from their tax bills 10 percent of the cost of the two- (or three-)wheelers, or $2,500, whichever is less. This parallels the $7,500 federal tax credit for four-wheeled electric cars such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. The breaks are projected to cost taxpayers $4 million over the next two years.

Platypus Gravityworks Water Filter Review
There's numerous types of water filter available. Mechanical pumps, electrical infa-red devices, water bottles with filters built in and gravity systems like this one from Platypus. The principle is a very simple one … fill a reservoir with dirty water, suspend it from a tree, your handlebars or whatever and allow the marvellous force of gravity to take effect … your dirty water simply drains into a 'clean' reservoir, on its way passing through a filter suspended between the two. No pumping, no batteries, no messing about … dead simple!
Both reservoirs hold a claimed 4 litres and Platypus rate the filter as good for 1.75 litres per minute, so you should be able to transform 4 litres of forestry, drainage sludge into 4 litres of lovely clean water in 2.3 minutes. The filter element has a life of 1500 litres, it's not serviceable so once it stops doing what it's meant to, you'll need to buy a replacement. The whole kit, two reservoirs, filter element and hose come in a little mesh bag so you can keep everything safely together in one place … total weight for the lot on my scales is 419 g (platypus claim 272g for the same kit but with a newer type filter element). Not staggeringly light then but as I'm sure someone, somewhere once said 'what price clean water?'.
I think the system really proves its worth in group situations, especially those when your camping spot doesn't have a decent supply of water right next to it. In use I've found that once full, there's enough water to supply 3 people overnight, that includes cooking, brewing and even a little pot washing for those who go in for that sort of thing. Both reservoirs have a zip lock type affair across the top so are very easy to fill, clean and dry after use. The zip lock itself isn't the easiest thing to use though, there seems to be an art to closing the seal. With cold, wet hands it's often easier not to bother attempting to close the dirty reservoir once full, as you've only got a 50/50 chance of success anyway. Platypus please can we have some other kind of closure, a roll top maybe or even a screw on lid would be better and would cause much less swearing in the woods and mountains!
I said earlier that the weight for the entire system was 419 g but in reality there's no need to carry the full kit. Imagine you want some water for a brew or maybe fill your water bottle, it's unlikely you'll bother decanting water from the clean reservoir into your pot or bottle … you might as well just filter it straight into your container of choice, so lose the clean reservoir and stuff sack and you'll be down to a weight of 256 g, a smaller pack size and no loss of performance.

POE Peak Elite Mat Review
Pretty small and compact
This full review has been a long time coming but you can be sure that the thing's had a very thorough test. I've been using this 3/4 (POE call it 2/3) length mat for the best part of eight months, it's seen service in tents, stuffed in bivvy bags and even a couple of bothies.
The first thing you notice and the first thing most people ask is, how small the pack size is. You can see in the photograph that compared to a 'standard' size POE Ether mat it really is tiny. Obviously it's nice if the small size relates to a low weight … in this case it does. The all in weight of the mat, repair kit, strap and stuff sack is 305g , the mat alone comes in at 285g. The next consideration and one which strangely often gets overlooked is comfort, if it's not comfy then you may as well not bother taking it, no matter how light or compact it is. I've lost count of the number of nights I've slept on the thing and I can't recall a night when I'd wished for something else. The air channels run length ways rather than width ways like a NeoAir. Thermarest say that the width ways air channels make their mat more stable, this could well be true but I've not noticed any tendency to 'roll off' the POE mat, so I don't think stability is much of an issue in the real world.
POE Peak Elite 2/3 v POE Full Length Ether
Being an air mat rather an a self inflating foam cored mat, the thing obviously needs blowing up before you can use it. There's all kinds of gadgets available to make inflating your air mat easier, bags that act as pumps, pillows that act as pumps, you can even buy a pump that doesn't act as anything other than a pump! … now lets be honest about this, unless you're a 92 year old asthmatic with one lung, you don't need outside assistance, just use your mouth, it's really not that hard! There are a couple of points worth considering when you inflate the mat (and the vast majority of air mats) they tend to be comfier when they're slightly soft but they do tend to 'lose' a little of their initial firmness through the course of the night. This means you've two choices, start off with it nice and hard and allow it to 'settle' during the night which may result in a slightly less comfy start to your evening … or do the opposite and potentially end up with the thing a touch too soft by morning. I must say, this isn't something peculiar to POE mats, it's pretty common regardless of manufacturer. Experimentation is the way forward here, play about with pressure and see what suits.
Most 3/4 length mats share pretty similar dimension regardless of their construction and the Peak Elite's no different … but it's the mats size that's my only criticism. The 3/4 length is fine, it's the width that's the concern or it will be if you sleep on your back. Lie on your side and all is fine, turn onto your back and the mat's wide enough to support everything but your arms. I believe air mats tend to exaggerate this due to their thickness compared to a foam mat and your raised position. Whilst it doesn't actually cause any problems I do find I have a tendency to 'hold' myself in position, it's something I've never noticed on foam mats of the same width and once again I think it's an inherent trait of any mat that shares the dimensions not just this one.
So how well's it stood up ? As I said at the start, I can't recall just how many nights I've used the mat and the repair kit's still untouched and the mat still looks like it did on day one. It's been used on bare ground that wasn't cleared too carefully and didn't suffer a puncture, so I can only assume the outer material is strong enough to take some abuse. I suppose the last question is, how good a job does it do insulating you from the ground ? There's only been one occasion when I could 'feel' the ground, I wasn't cold but there was certainly a 'feeling' that what lay beneath me was frozen solid, so yes, as an insulator it works. POE class it as a 3 season mat and give it a temp rating down to -10 but my own opinion would be at -10 I'd possibly want to double it up with something else but someone else might not.
Besides the 2/3 length you can also buy a full length version. If you only ever sleep in a bivvy bag without a groundsheet of any description, then I'd consider the extra 90g of the full length version worthwhile … not so much for the issue of cold feet but to help combat condensation forming in your bag.
I could continue and tell you about the aluminium particles bonded into the material that help to reflect heat, the bio mapped insulation or the 33DRS outer shell fabric but I'm not going to … you're not really interested and I can't be bothered. What I will say is, the Peak Elite AC is a really good mat, it shares certain traits common to nearly all air mats but scores extra points when you consider, weight, R value and importantly price. Would I have another ? Yes. Is it better than a NeoAir ? Someone send me one and I'll tell you.

LAUREL — As the track and field season starts to wind down, Abby Bymaster's eyes are focusing a little more intently on defending her Class C state shot put championship.
Bymaster, a senior from Broadview-Lavina, has no complaints about the season she's had. She owns the top-ranked shot put heave in Class C on the latest statewide elite track and field list, and her throw of 36 feet, 8½ inches won the event at the 35th annual Stillwater Invitational on Saturday at the Laurel Sports Complex.
"I was pretty excited with today," said Bymaster, whose top throw this year is 38-11½, which she scored at the Columbus Snowflake meet. "I can't really complain about it I guess. I had some good throws and some not-so-good ones, but it turned out (the winning throw) was good enough."
Bymaster won the shot put at last year's state meet with a throw of 40-5½. But Bymaster suffered a serious knee injury at a basketball camp last summer, and she's had to adjust to remain on top.
With district meets beginning this week, Bymaster said she is still trying to get everything right.
"This year is a lot different than last year," said Bymaster, who underwent surgery for a torn meniscus and a partially torn ACL. "I don't have as much flexibility with my knee brace, so that's been a factor. It's a lot of adjusting.
"I know I'm going to have to focus really hard on driving my hip and my left arm as well as I can, and stay low and be quick across the ring. There are a lot of things to think about, but I try to focus on one point at a time and keep working hard and do everything I can do."
Whatever happens at the state meet, Bymaster will continue her track and field career when she joins the women's program at Montana State in Bozeman next year.
"I fell in love with their program," she said. "Their athletes are very talented and down to earth. And (throwing) coach (Mike) Carignan is a great guy, and he made me feel like part of the throwing family already."
• • •
The wind kicked up -- strongly at times -- during Saturday's meet, and for a distance runner like Big Timber's Darren Hecker, that can cause problems. But Hecker powered through it, winning both the 800 and the mile.
His 800 time was 2:02.63.
"When you're running into (the wind) you just attack it, get your knees up, keep driving," Hecker said. "And when it's at your back you just try to use it to the best of your advantage.
"I started out hard from the beginning. My goal was a sub-2:00, which didn't happen today, but I went out hard, ran hard and you can't ask for anything more."
The 800 is Hecker's most competitive event. He currently has Class B's top time (2:02.1) and is a contender to win it all at the state meet.
Hecker placed in three events at state in 2013, including a third-place finish in the 800. He also took fourth in the mile and sixth in the 3,200 meters.
"I believe I can win it. But I've got some good competition out there," Hecker said. "You never know who can come out and run a great time. I just have to focus on my times and do what I can."
Notes and quotes
• By her own admission, Joliet sprinter Tru Roginske isn't a fast starter out of the blocks. And it didn't help matters Saturday when the gun misfired at the beginning of the girls 100 meters, which forced a re-start — and a regrouping
"It's a head game," Roginske said. "You have to get prepared again when that happens, and that's difficult."
Still, Roginske sped to victory in the 100 with a time of 12.8. Roginske has been Class B's best in the 100 this season (her top time is 12.71), as well as in the triple jump.
"I'm really happy with how I've done," Roginske said. "I've improved so much since last year. Last year my PR was a 12.82 at state. I'm really happy that I'm improving, and that's my goal."
• A Roginske-Brianna Gray showdown in the 100 never materialized because Gray, the defending champion in Class C, is out with mononucleosis.
Gray won the 100 at the state meet last year with a 12.71 clocking. Her best time this season is 12.7, the top mark in Class C so far. It is not known if Gray will be ready to run at the district meet.
• The Stillwater Invitational, also known as the Al Walker Memorial, brought 29 boys teams and 26 girls teams to the LHS Sports Complex.
The team championships were settled by slim margins. Ennis won the boys title with 81½ points, just ahead of Colstrip (80 points) and Big Timber (78). Red Lodge won the girls title with 73 points. Broadview-Lavina took second with 71 points.
• Roginske also won the triple jump with a leap of 34-4. Other two-event winners on the girls side included Red Lodge's Daniella Russell, who won the 400 (1:03.6) and the long jump (16-3), and Colstrip's Hailey Poole, who captured both the discus (108-8) and the javelin (111-2).
Hecker won the boys mile in 4:49.91. Ennis' Michael Hubner won both the 100 in 11.25 and the 200 in 23.63, and Joliet's Brock Beede was victorious in the triple jump (40-8) and the javelin (149-1).

I do not think so but ?? check the link below as you really need to see certain features up close and your images do not provide that kind of detail. To me the plant should look rope-like with the leaves closely held to the stems and each other and they are not on the plants pictured above. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ohio University
Thanks terrestrialman. I am attaching here a closeup picture of the leaf tips that show a twist in the leaf tips as described in your Ohio reference (and other diagnostic references to the mosses). You can see the twist in the 2nd picture I first put up. I believe you are looking at Bryoandersonia. Don't you now agree? |
One more Bryoandersonia picture at lesser magnification showing rope-like strands you are used to seeing on this moss. |

Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer


text: Here's a romantic comedy that shows how difficult it is to be raised in America as a part of a racial minority. Shawn Wong's second novel, American Knees, takes its title from a schoolyard taunt leveled at Raymond Ding, the Chinese-American protagonist. ('''What are you Chinese, Japanese, or American knees?' they'd chant.'') The novel charts the ups and downs in Ding's relationship with a beautiful woman named Aurora, who is half-Irish and half-Japanese. Though Wong paints a careful portrait of his characters in their romantic plight, his novel is very short on narrative drive and, sadly, long on an anticlimactic series of conversational go-rounds that take place during one of the couple's breakups. By the book's end, unfortunately, their yearning for one another becomes couched in a long-winded psychobabble about cultural identity and sociopolitics. B-

A First Glimpse at 'Look at the Book'
UPDATE: Look at the Book is now live.
This is not the launch of Look at the Book. It's a preview. It's a ten-minute demonstration of the kind of thing I will be doing at our National Conference this September, and then with several texts each week when we launch Look at the Book online this fall.
Some of you may recall from my legacy post that I feel an excited sense of calling for this next chapter of my life to take people with me into the kitchen. That is, the place where sermon-food is prepared. Presentation is one thing; preparation is another.
One of the differences between presentation (preaching) and preparation is that presentation is well-ordered, and preparation is messy. Banquet tables are clean. Kitchens are cluttered. My kitchen gets so messy that sometimes I can hardly find the ingredients. You'll see what I mean.
But this is real. This is how I do it.
Without circling things, and underlining, and drawing lines, and making notes, and doodling in the margins, and making connections, and marking repetitions, I would be utterly adrift in a biblical text. My mind is a muddle until I make the muddle visible on paper, and then begin to sort it out with the pencil.
So if you ever feel muddle-headed about Bible passages, you might be encouraged to join me in the process of sorting things out.
Let's take 2 Timothy 3:14–17 in this preview, and look at the Book.
A discounted rate for our twelfth and final National Conference is available when you register by this Friday, July 25.

This item is so funny that you will find many different uses for it. Produce the long stemmed flower from your sleeve or just bring it out and let someone blow on it. All of a sudden, it begins to droop in a very silly way. At your command, the Drooping Rose will pop up and look normal once again. This is a quality drooping flower made with beautiful materials. This trick is great for a comedy skit or as an icebreaker for any type of show. The boxes that these come in have some marks on them but the flowers are brand new and in perfect condition

A while ago I did a little experiment grafting some witch hazels. I was looking at the grafts today, and the buds on some of the grafts look a little brown. They're not completely black, but I am wondering if this means that they're dead. On the other hand, some of the other grafts have nice plump, green buds that have formed where the graft union was made. I'm confident that these will survive, but I'm extremely concerened about the others. Can somebody please tell me if this is a bad sign, or if it's really nothing to worry about. Thank You |

Belize City
Belize Zoo
Founded in 1983 by an American biologist who had 17 semi-tame animals on her hands after filming a documentary about rain forests, the Belize Zoo is a highly respected institution. Only native Belizean species (pumas, tapirs, kinkajous) are exhibited, and their surroundings reflect their wild habitats as closely as possible. From the elevated walkways, you can watch howler monkeys in canopy-growth trees. At the gift shop, sample locally harvested cashews or Belize's traditional (and tasty) seaweed drink, flavored with peanut or vanilla.

A public hospital district may issue warrants in anticipation of tax revenues in an amount not to exceed the anticipated revenues from all sources for one year.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
July 9, 1952
State Finance CommitteeLegislative BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 51-53 No. 346
Attention: Ernest Minor, Secretary
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of July 2, 1952, in which you ask our opinion on the following question:
"May a Hospital District legally issue and have outstanding at any time during a calendar year registered interest bearing warrants equal to the estimated and uncollected revenue from all sources for said year, or is the issuance of such warrants limited to the amount of ad valorem taxes that have been levied for the District and remain uncollected?"
It is our conclusion that a hospital district may issue and have outstanding registered interest bearing warrants equal to the estimated and uncollected revenue from all sources for the year.
The powers of a hospital district are set forth in RCW 70.44.060 (§ 18, chapter 197, Laws of 1949; RRS 6090-35). Subsection (5) of that section reads as follows:
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
"To contract indebtedness or borrow money for corporate purposes on the credit of the corporation or the revenues of the hospitals thereof, and issue bonds therefor, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding six percent per year, payable semiannually, the bonds not to be sold for less than par and accrued interest."
Subsection (6) concludes with the following:
"* * * The commission may, prior to the receipt of taxes raised by levy, borrow money or issue warrants of the district in anticipation of the revenue to be derived from the levy of taxes for the district, and the warrants shall be redeemed from the first money available from such taxes when collected, and the warrants shall not exceed the anticipated revenues of one year, and shall bear interest at a rate of not to exceed six percent per year."
Subsection (5) above quoted permits a hospital district to contract indebtedness without stating any limitation but specifies that the indebtedness shall be evidenced by bonds. Subsection (6) authorizes the issuance of warrants in anticipation of taxes and prescribes that taxes shall be first applied in retirement of such warrants. The only limitation contained in this statute is that the warrants "shall not exceed the anticipated revenues for one year." This language does not specify revenues from taxes. The best test of what the legislature intended is what is said, and since it used the term "anticipated revenues" without qualification, it is our opinion that there is no authority to read into the sentence a limitation which would confine the language to tax revenues. Therefore, it is our opinion that the limitation relates to the total anticipated revenues, both from tax and non-tax [[nontax]]sources.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROYAttorney General
LYLE L. IVERSENAssistant Attorney General

Industry Groups Jointly File for CAP Countdown Extension
Washington - Oct 21, 2010 - The National Association of Broadcasters, National Cable and Telecommunications Association, Society of Broadcast Engineers, American Cable Association, Association for Maximum Service Television, National Public Radio, Association of Public Television Stations, Public Broadcasting Service and 46 state broadcast associations (all except Delaware, Georgia, Maryland and North Carolina) urged the FCC to extend the current March 29, 2011, CAP-compliance deadline to at least Sept. 30, 2011 or later. In addition, the group asked to consider holding the deadline in abeyance until the FCC has completed its own CAP-related equipment certification process and has resolved its anticipated rulemaking proceeding concerning modifications to Part 11 of its EAS rules and regulations.
The petitioners noted the current deadline is premature and potentially very wasteful for EAS participants to be required to purchase, install and test new or modified CAP-related equipment in circumstances where the IPAWS list of CAP tested and certified EAS equipment has yet to be released, the FCC may conduct its own certification process which could necessitate further changes to equipment which FEMA has already approved, and the FCC may, as a result of an expected rulemaking, change its EAS regulations in ways that impact the future suitability of CAP-related equipment.
The petitioners urged the Commission to take into consideration the extra time needed for EAS participants to coordinate with their state and local representatives to insure that the conversion of government-owned EAS equipment would be compatible with CAP-related equipment that radio and television stations and others may install.

Ecuadorians who dare going out onto the public streets this Sunday November 28th or who risk drinking alcoholic beverages between Saturday 27th and Monday 29th face sanctions ranging from two to four days in prison or fines from $7 to $15.

Despite the economic difficulties of 4Q11 – rising fuel prices and airfares, a stronger U.S. dollar, and ongoing financial drama in Europe – online travel agencies delivered mostly strong performances, with solid growth in international markets.

Shifting Perspectives: Balance history in review {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2011 5:41AM I was there in classic as well and recall being the top healer in my guild in naxx. Sure we were not main tank healers with rank 4 healing touch being our best healing spell, but we were the best raid healers around. Oh and with the tier 3 bonus, best bonus ever. Sorry Balance you forget too much.
Breakfast Topic: What was your moment of awe in WoW? {WoW}
Sep 9th 2011 8:30AM C'thun, nuff said, most insane fight ever when relivent.
Raid Rx: The healing lead's check list {WoW}
May 20th 2010 5:17PM A healer never targets, just using the word target screams bad. You should be able to be an effective healer without ever taking your target off the boss. I really find it strange when everyone nowadays are targeting, not only that but popular blog writers are actually reporting this to be the way things should be done.
Dont use healbot, don't change targets, don't do mouse over keybindings, how it should be done is one hand is on WASD and the other hand should be on your mouse and you should grab clique and then wak-a-mole. Healers don't even contemplate the 250ms delay for every target change. I have raided with you matt and this tendency to promote targeting just screams bad.
Look at it this way on press to target another press to heal. With the clique method its one click.. boom.. heal.. with my hands still on my movement keys. I suppose you could argue this is something more for druids but just the delay to execute one heal your way is noticeable.
Using the Corehound Pup to secure Guildbanks {WoW}
Dec 19th 2009 6:33PM hate to rain on the parade here but you can sign up for the iphone authenticator and get the corehound pet and then remove the authenticator from your account and delete it from the iphone and keep the pet.
Whole Corehound validity for security is blown out of the water. Try again.
Why you don't have freedom of speech in WoW {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 9:57AM I am sorry it sucks to be wrong but try and face that without making an ass of yourself. Everyone knows what the GM's say when you try and express concerns. The people on the phone say the same thing. I am sorry you don't believe that but your lack of knowledge should not be used to punish the readers here.
Why you don't have freedom of speech in WoW {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 9:43AM Anyone who has spoken to a GM or spoken to any blizzard employee over the phone will tell you that they forward and push any and all comments and communication to the developers to the forum as the sole form of expression to the company as a whole.
Why you don't have freedom of speech in WoW {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 9:37AM Actually freedom of speech on private property has been tested in court as it is with private forums. It actually depends highly on what the private owner has expressed is possible on his property. It also depends highly on if the forum is the only means of expression left open and if the private owner leaves no other means of expression to the owner itself.
In this case blizzard has no open lines of communication with the public other then the forums and funnels all forms of expression to it. Thus they give up their exemption of private property.
Breakfast Topic: How many of you play on a Mac? {WoW}
Nov 21st 2009 1:37PM 26% so far. Higher then expected numbers by most people. This would be because mac gamers don't have a lot of game options so they are very loyal to blizzard.
Drama Mamas: Of scrubs and terribads {WoW}
Jul 26th 2009 6:50AM In my opinion the worst people for emotion are the people trying to avoid "drama" they are the worst of the bunch. The constant bitching about drama just gets out of hand. It dawns on you that they insult others as being drama queens early and are trying to deflect attention from the fact they are all about drama. Best way to deflect attention about yourself is to redirect. Typical magicians trick. Often these people are guild leaders and guild masters that are good at this obviously. Anyone who would spend there time leading a band of people with reality sanity issues has got to have a screw loose somewhere. Its like back in the old days when the DM was the leader of the geeks in the local dungeons and dragons group. Totally oblivious to the fact that he is a total joke being the king of a band of social rejects and people who likely have psychological problems. Lol Wow players are drama waiting to happen.
Drama Mamas: Of phone calls and slanderers {WoW}
Jul 18th 2009 2:07PM Did it ever strike any of you that wow is a game. You are guild leader of a group of people with reality issues, social issues and those of need of serious psychological help. If your not treating wow as a casual game to play 4-8 hours a week then you have allocated too much time to it, there is a real world out there. The time to spend in wow over 8 hours a week will have to be addressed later. There is always a price to pay, its called sloth. It has physical and psychological ramifications. In my opinion all wow players are drama queens and generally guild leadership are the worst, but they make it their business to hide it well and justify their bad social behavior. Wow can teach you one thing though. If you want to know how to operate in a group setting under the worst possible group dynamic conditions wow is the game to test those skills.

Location: Ashington, United Kingdom
Beef, Stilton and Guinness pie
A lovely winter warmer which featured in Olive magazine a few years ago. I made it with white stilton cheese and served it with sweet potato mash and some greens. Lovely! * you can add what ever veg you want to the pie, maybe leeks or carrots*
Carrot Cupcakes
This recipe is from an old Asda magazine i had lying around. The magazine states that that these can be frozen un-iced.
White Chocolate Frosting
This is a lovely frosting with just a hint of white chocolate, even people who are not lovers of white chocolate have enjoyed this frosting.
Chocolate Fudge Frosting
This is a nice fudgy icing, makes a change from normal butter cream.
White chocolate and any berry muffins.
These muffins are a firm favourite at the school PTA events. I normally make them with strawberries but any berries can be used. As for serving sizes they can be made in small cake cases, stretching the batter even further.
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
This delicious thick, creamy pumpkin soup is a firm favourite in the Haly household. It is delicious served with garlic bread or cheese on toast.
Chocolate Croissant Pudding (Chocolate wobble cake in my house)
This recipe is for one of Phil Vickery's puddings, It's almost a bread and butter pudding but with chocolate in the custard and pain au chocolates in place of the bread. The things in brackets are thing i do if there is something i am missing or if i have fancied a change.

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 Bullet!
Facts about Bullet
- Breed: Rottweiler Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bullet's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
For more information on this dog or to request an application, please email email@example.com.
We're working on better photos of this handsome fella but bullet is a rottie mix pup about six months old. Gets along with other dogs. Rescued from a very high kill shelter and getting a second chance at life. Looking for a loving, forever family who is ready to give this pup the training, love and patience any young dog needs. For more information on this dog or to submit an application (found below), please e-mail Sandy at firstname.lastname@example.com
About our adoption process: For more information or to request an adoption application (required), please email the dog's foster listed above (no phone calls, please). There is no commitment by submitting the application - it just helps us determine if the pet you are interested in will be a good match for you. Next is a meet and greet at one of our adoption events - typically held on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Chandler, AZ (Ray Rd & I-10). Not every pet is at every event so please contact us first to find out when and where you can meet the pet you are interested in. If there are other dogs in your household, we suggest bringing them to ensure everyone gets along. The standard adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $140 (cash or check) which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, microchip and collar/tags.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bullet, a Chandler Rottweiler dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Rottweiler dog from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler 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 Chandler 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 breeders who help with Rottweiler rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

The best loot comes from hard modes, not just Yogg-Saron {WoW}
Apr 18th 2009 10:01AM Yogg Saron with all keepers helping (i.e. easy mode) is much more difficult than any of the rest of the bosses in the instance non-hard mode and thus I feel it would be fitting if he dropped slightly higher ilvl loot. I don't see him being PuGed, well, ever so the situation where random mages running around in blue gear with Turning Tide while RNG forces those in raiding guilds to use Life and Death along with all their best-in-slot items shouldn't crop up again. Failing that, they might just put incredibly well itemised ilvl226 loot on Yogg, as we've been DEing a fair amount of trash so far.
To put things into perspective, I'm in a world top 25 guild and we blew through most of Ulduar this week. Yes, we had PTR experience but we still killed Hodir, who was on the US PTR and we never saw, on the third pull and Iron Council went down on the first. Deconstructor proved a bit harder because we were doing completely the wrong thing and didn't DPS the heart at all and Mimiron took about two hours of attempts.
Last night we started on Yogg Saron and spent eight hours on him. He's still not dead. He'll go down tonight I'm sure but probably not immediately. That length of time, while still insignificant compared to a boss like M'uru or Kil'jaeden is still far more than anything in Naxx or the rest of Ulduar required. Without wanting to give anything away, the fight will very much test your raid co-ordination, your raid's ability to not stand in "stuff", your DPS's ability to keep it in their pants when needed and will encourage your healers to multi-task in various areas of the fight. In short, it's not incredibly hard but it will prove a significant challenge for most guilds, even with all watchers helping.
Seeing what they've done with Yogg normal has made me very excited about seeing Algalon in a few weeks' time.
The Daily Quest: Of top tens, eight tips and Friday fives {WoW}
Mar 21st 2009 1:38PM Hah, I never expected to see Abbath on WI, nice work!
Still, with WotLK being all grim and frostbitten, I suppose it fits ^_^
Plagued and Black Proto-drake rewards to be removed {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 5:56PM This doesn't work.
Kel'thuzad drops loot of the same ilvl as Ulduar bosses (213 on 10-man and 226 on 25-man).
Otherwise it would actually be quite an elegant solution.
Plagued and Black Proto-drake rewards to be removed {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 5:43PM Yes, I've had both Glory proto-drakes since mid-January.
Plagued and Black Proto-drake rewards to be removed {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 5:41PM You're completely missing/ignoring the point.
The Baron mount looks cool, but that's it. There's no correlation between it and skill or dedication or anything else. Patience for time spent, yes but that's true of hundreds of other things in the game.
Who cares that you can solo farm it, it in itself means nothing.
By contrast, the 310% protos are status symbols. They show that you had the skill and dedication to complete all the achievements encompassed in the meta. You EARN it, you don't get lucky.
By removing it in 3.1 all that's happening is that those who had the time, skill dedication or whatever to get it when it still meant something (i.e. before it's position as a status symbol was taken away by the achievement being trivialised) are being given exclusivity on the mount. That's fine and fair.
If you disagree with this, I return again to Gladiator mounts, and PvP achievements generally. Do you think it's unfair that only the top 1% of PvPers get a Gladiator mount and title? My guess is no, because it shows that they're at the top of the PvP game. When Season 5 ends, would you complain that you didn't have time to reach 2300 rating or whatever the rating for Gladiator in your battlegroup will be? Again, my guess is no.
Why should PvE content not have these exclusive rewards for those who are at the forefront of progression?
Plagued and Black Proto-drake rewards to be removed {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 5:10PM It's not exactly a legitimate comparison though, is it?
The Glory achievements are based on skill/dedication whereas the Baron mount drop has always been about nothing more than blind luck.
Complete Glory and you WILL get the mount. Kill Rivendare and you have a tiny percentile chance of getting it.
They signify completely different things. The Baron mount is all about someone who was lucky enough to have it drop/crazy enough to farm it while the 310% Proto-drakes shows that someone was at the top of the raiding game in a given tier of content.
Why is that so terrible?
Plagued and Black Proto-drake rewards to be removed {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 4:54PM To put a little perspective on this, what you're essentially asking for, then, is to be able to faceroll the achievements in Tier 8 gear rather than doing them when there's a hint of challenge about them?
Why should you be entitled to the same reward as those who put the time and effort in to get them while they were tough?
Enormous steps have already been taken to level the playing field. Now pretty much anyone can see all available content provided they can find a few hours a week to raid.
Let those who enjoy pushing themselves further enjoy what's left of progression-orientated raiding and be rewarded for going the extra mile.
Nobody complains about the 310% speed PvP mounts only being available to people with Gladiator titles. What's so wrong with giving the PvE elite their own mount reward?
Anyone getting really bent out of shape about not getting a 310% mount can either do the seasonal content for the Violet Proto Drake or up their game to complete the Ulduar meta achievement in time.
The European thread is a complete contrast to the US one and is well worth a read for a less QQ perspective on things.

Ask WoW Insider: Minimum raiding requirements {WoW}
Oct 27th 2008 6:59PM I suspect I'm very much in a minority here but I anticipate raiding six days a week during progression in WotLK, 5 or 6 hours a night with the option to extend if a first kill is on the cards. While most people will think this is completely insane and screams 'no lifer', bear in mind that bleeding edge guilds only ever do these incredibly intense bursts of raiding in times of progression and that because of the time we spend at it and the generally high quality players, progression is generally extremely quick. Once content is cleared, the number of raid nights drops way back as content is farmed. My guild put in this schedule to get Sunwell clear and has been enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of raiding two days a week since early June when Kil'jaeden died.
Obviously most people will find this kind of scheduling very, very hard to manage during progression but some of it consider it worth it in order to see content first and to enjoy months of being able to play the rest of the game at our own pace while also having access to the best raid loot in the game ;)
Hallow's End 2008 guide (updated) {WoW}
Oct 18th 2008 12:25AM Also, the drop table is pretty much the same as last year, with the ilvl 110 epic rings, identical to the old badge items. Other items that dropped for us were the Pumpkin hat and a 14 day duration Riding Skill 375 flying broom mount.
