I've said it before and I'll say it again. You are such a cute preggo!
Also, I ate more than my fair share of fast food with each of my pregnancies and while nursing. The babe will be fine ;). (I basically took advantage of it being ok to gain weight and then my massive appetite and extra calories being burned). - February 1, 2011 at 11:12 AM

Clearly I have no need for a glider for maternity reasons, but I LOVE that glider. And brown is a good choice because lighter colors get dirty so easily!

That glider looks AMAZING! I can't wait to see a pic of you holding sweet baby Eli in it!
Seriously, in most of the pics of you you barely look pregnant! You're so tiny!
Bye-bye to you car... I know I'd cry when they took mine away, for sure! So sad. - February 1, 2011 at 11:41 AM

I'm glad you had an attachment to your car too! And I'm glad you & the babe were ok after the accident! I said goodbye to my car before it left to be sold!

That glider looks SO COMFY! You are seriously the cutest pregnant girl ever! ha! :)
- February 1, 2011 at 12:23 PM
- Chelsi said...
That glider is so cute! It looks comfy too, which is hard to find in attractive gliders! :)
I also would feel sad about losing my car... We traded in my old accord for a newer acura two years ago and I was sad eventhough we were clearly upgrading our cars. So, I understand the attachment issue! :) - February 1, 2011 at 12:32 PM

What a fun week ;) I am trying to take a picture a day too!

fun week! i have given up on my 365 project... maybe i'll pick up doing one like this. i like this format better anyway...

You look so cute in the doctor's office!!

- Naturally Caffeinated Family said...
I can't wait until you get to sit with Eli in your rocker too, awww, so sweet!! Made me emotional just thinking about it :) It is so hard to say goodbye to an old car, I still reminisce about my old car (Hubby makes fun of it but it was the best car ;)) and if it helps at all, I ate so much fast food when pregnant and all the littles are great! :-) You look adorable and Eli is fab!

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Moeng, Mmushi Moses URN etd-02092006-153600 Document Title Terthienyl carbene complexes Degree MSc (Chemistry) Department Chemistry Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof S Lotz Committee Chair Keywords
- carbenes methylene compounds terthienyl
Date 2001-09-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract Terthienyl (HTTTH) forms part of the family of conjugated 5-membered heterocycles and although many novel conversions of thiophenes and their derivatives have been recorded, the coordination chemistry of terthienyl has been neglected.Dinuclear biscarbene complexes [(CO)5MC(OEt)TTTC(OEt)M(CO) 5l, and monocarbene complexes [M(CO) 5{C(OEt)TTTH}] of the transition metals Cr, Mo and W with terthienyl spacer units were prepared. The reactivity of these complexes with ammonia, their relative stability and their structural features were investigated. The study focuses on electron delocalization of the conjugated TTT moiety and the role of the TIT substituent in stabilizing the electrophilic carbene carbon.
Terthienyl substrates are readily mono and dimetallated and the classical Fischer method for the synthesis of carbene complexes was used. Complexes were fully characterized and molecular structures were determined. A single crystal structure determination of the tungsten biscarbene complex indicated a planar configuration of the thienyl rings and partial de localization through the conjugated ring system.

text: Yesterday I send a patch to hal-devel describing a patch to add nvram polling to HAL to abstract the buttons. I did this basically for comments, and so people can try the addon and see if nvram polling worked for them. And then, feeling less dirty, I wrote a kernel patch. I want to convert the thinkpad_acpi module to use INPUT rather than export random hotkeys using acpi events. The idea being the INPUT keycodes can be mapped using a keymap, and we can make the keys work for people without using some random custom session or system daemon. This means you can do KEY_FN_F2 and then you can map the button in gnome-keybinding-properties just as if it was any other normal AT button, or choose a keymap in gnome-keyboard-properties so all the buttons work. We need to automate this somehow, and I've a funny feeling it might involve HAL. The NVRAM keys (volume, mute, thinkpad) will have to be done a little more carefully as they are tied to hardware, although I think I can do that polling in the kernel quite cleanly. I intend on submitting patches for all the machines that I can get my hands on, first in my sights is toshiba_acpi. Plan?

Several State Parks under the jurisdiction of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are located within the State Forest Preserve counties as identified in Environmental Conservation Law § 9-0101(6). Recently, OPRHP was requested to research the acquisition history of eight Parks within Forest Preserve counties but outside of the Adirondack Park. The search was to determine if the forest preserve status of these parks was referenced during the acquisition process. This document is the result of that research.
Pursuant to the agreement, OPRHP has provided one set of relevant records to the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks' Adirondack Research Library.
State Parks has begun its preliminary engineering/environmental review process for removal of a segment of the Robert Moses Parkway from Main Street (NYS Rte 104) to Findlay Drive, and reconstruction of Whirlpool Street as a landscaped road in this same area. Over the next 18 months, a consultant team led by Parsons Corporation will be undertaking a series of assessments required under State/Federal regulations prior to starting final design and construction for a major road and park project. Please be advised that representatives from the consultant team will be conducting fieldwork and data collection activities in the project area beginning in July 2014. These may include, but would not be limited to: land survey; archaeology/historic structure assessments; soil sampling; plant/wildlife data collection; traffic counts; and noise measurements. All of these activities will be done within/along public road rights-of-way and would not involve extensive ground disturbances. If, for any reason, this work requires access to private property (i.e., other than incidental access such as to surveying the edge of a public right of way), prior contact and arrangements will be made with the property owner and/or residents.
Later this year, a series of public information sessions will be conducted to discuss elements of the project; these will be announced in local media. If you have any questions about this work, please contact Andrew Giarrizzo at State Parks at 716.299.0806.

Rajon Rondo's Ridiculous Alley-Oop Buzzer Beater
What an ending! After D-Wade stole the ball from Ray Allen and scored to give the Heat a 101-99 lead with 0.6 seconds left, you'd think the game was over. Well, let's just say Rajon Rondo (and Paul Pierce with the perfect pass) had other plans. That's why Doc Rivers is the best play caller in the NBA. Celtics ended up winning in OT.

I can't say enough good...
I can't say enough good things about these pens. I have always been a pen freak,
but I can't seeing myself using any other pens after trying these out. Just get
them, you won't regret it. I started off with the set of ten, and now I have
orderd every color!
January 27, 2014
My daily pens are the...
My daily pens are the Pilot G-2 .38 mm and the Pilot Hi-Tec-C pens. If you like
either of those, you will probably like these just fine.
I prefer both pilots to these Signo pens, however, I use the Signo pen exclusively in my chemistry classes where my papers / notebook is very likely to get wet. These are waterproof and my lab notebooks are no longer a big blur after class! Also, the plastic box / case they come in is very generous in size and is perfect for storing additional highliters, pencils, erasers and paperclips. Highly recommend these pens! |

I love very fine point...
Verified Purchase
I love very fine point pens. I have had a lot of trouble finding truly good
ones. That is until visiting a friends house and picking up a pen to write down
some information. The only word that comes to mind is WOW! A gel pen that
won't run, won't smear, yet is a smooth writing instrument. I had to order my
own set.
If you like a wide range of brilliant colors, a fine tip, an all around great writing experience order these. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and the speed of shipping, excellent. The packaging-excellent. (I live in an area that usually takes longer than most to receive anything.) I will be ordering more, to complete my colors. |

Verified Purchase
I was in English class and I found one of these pens on the floor. I liked how
clean the lines wrote and how I didn't have to press hard on the paper in order
to keep consistency with my words. These pens were so great that I specifically
searched them up and bam, the order came in a few days later. If you don't order
these you're totez missing out.
November 10, 2011
I actually spent all...
I actually spent all of last weekend looking for some good pens to replace my
G-2 pens which I currently (well, now it's previously) use. And I must say,
these pens are great!!! I bought these pens in the 10 piece set in .38 mm and I
love them so far. The quality of these pens are great and are superior to that
of the G-2s. For note of reference, the G-2s I had had a 1.0 mm head thickness.
And man, what a difference does pen head thickness make. I can now draw
intricately and delicately as well as being able to write much much smaller. I
would recommend these pens to anybody who values quality pens.
On a side note , I also bought 1 Pentel Slicci and 1 Pilot Hi-Tec-C in .3 mm each just to test them out. Even those pens produced much finer lines, but these pens did not have plastic grips on them. I think the next time I order these pens I will get them in .28 mm thickness. No complaint about these pens, guys, definitely worth the $! |

Review: 'Argo' Is a Nail-Biting, Cheer-Worthy Triumph Filled With Laughs, Suspense and Facial Hair
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 12, 2012 | Comments (5)The November 4th, 1979 takeover of the American embassy in Iran by students and other revolutionaries was front page news around the world as 52 American hostages were held captive. Negotiations were attempted and military strikes were considered, but the crisis didn't end until well over a year later when they were all finally released. Lesser known, and in fact unknown to the public until 1997 when it was declassified, is the story of six Americans who escaped the embassy that November day to risk capture and possible execution as they awaited an unlikely rescue. It turned out to be a very unlikely rescue indeed. Argo is Ben Affleck's third film as director, and while it lacks the darkly emotional impact of Gone Baby Gone and the kinetic shoot 'em up action of The Town it stands tall as his best and most entertaining film yet. Brilliant character actors swirl through the constantly surprising true story alongside wonderful period details, humor, humanity and the most suspenseful thirty minutes of the year.
Gillian Anderson Returns to Sci-Fi in Non-Gin Blossoms Related Film, 'I'll Follow You Down'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 30, 2012 | Comments (3)Though Gillian Anderson is best known for her role as Dana Scully on The X-Files, the actress is also a classically trained thespian who has used her talents in such varied fare as the Bleak House mini-series, the Royal-focused series Any Human Heart, and at least two television takes on classic material – Moby Dick and Great Expectations. What we're saying is, she's not just Scully, but damn if Anderson doesn't know her way around some good sci-fi, so it's heartening news that she's joined a very intriguing new project with just that kind of bent. Deadline Quantico reports that Anderson has joined Haley Joel Osment, Rufus Sewell, and Victor Garber in Richie Mehta's (Amal) new film, I'll Follow You Down. While we don't yet know too much about the film (and with its mysterious logline, it's likely to stay that way), we do know that it centers on "a scientist, Gabriel (Sewell), who mysteriously disappears during a business trip, devastating his wife Marika (Anderson) and son Erol (Osment). Erol and his grandfather (Garber) years later make a shocking discovery about Gabriel's whereabouts." The film's slim IMDb page adds to the mystery and intrigue – the plotline over there reports that the discovery is also "bizarre" (yow!) and "one that may bring him home" (ooooh!).
'Argo' Trailer Is The Best Bad Idea Ben Affleck's Had as a Director
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 8, 2012 | Be the First To CommentRemember when Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, and Tate Donovan all got together to make a movie about a fake movie being made in order to rescue hostages being held in Iran? This trailer is one more slice of proof that Affleck knows what the hell he's doing behind a camera, especially when it comes to the slightly funny world of serious issues. Instead of crime-riddled Boston, this time it's the Iranian Hostage Crisis, a fake script called Argo and a crazy attempt at rescuing 6 people. It's Ocean's Eleven except the stakes are real, and they're life-or-death. Check out the trailer for yourself:
Whether you watch it or not (or have even heard of it), Flashpoint is one of the best dramas (cop or otherwise) on television right now. Action, drama, a hint of comedy, great writing, it's got it all, and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. The show features an amazing cast of TV hard hitters including Amy Jo Johnson, Enrico Colantoni and Hugh Dillon. Now in its third season on CBS (or second if you go by the CTV numbers), this Canadian import has proven to be a huge hit for both networks. Now having been picked up for two more seasons, one of which that has already completed production, it looks like a bright future is ahead for the program. I had the chance to sit down with the shows creators Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern to discuss what's in store for the future.

So, just a few minutes ago I finished Under the Banner of Heaven, by Jon Krakauer, and it was interesting.
I'll talk about it a little tonight, and a lot more soon, probably tomorrow night, when I'll post something interesting and thoughtful.
But tonight, I rant.
So, recently, I've just been feeling worse and worse. For like no reason. I've been feeling trapped.
Probably it's just more of that wonderful teenage angst we all come to know and love.
But I've been feeling like I wanna do an outburst like get on a soapbox in front of the school and just be like "HEY! I'M GAY! THAT'S RIGHT, I LIKE OTHER PEOPLE OF THE SAME GENDER!".
Because I think that at least some of the trapped feeling I get is because even though my friends are amazingly awesome and I love them all, most of the still do not know I'm gay.
And so, that leaves them open to talk about things that I can't, and leaves me open to many open conversations in which they talk about hot girls or who I like which are conversations I'd really rather not be a part of.
I'd really like to talk about how my stand partner in orchestra is uber cute and I always ask him for hugs but he rarely gives them to me... :P
So I just don't like that I feel trapped because I don't want to talk about something that to me is very insignificant, but that I'm afraid I might lose friends over because of stupid societal values.
AND SO, to deal with all this angst, and to cheer myself up, I decided to visit the Republican Party website.
Because Republicans are the funniest people on earth. Democrats are okay, for the most part, but I find it hard to agree with any Republican on any issue for any reason in any way at any time ever.
There's really not a single Republican I like.
And I think their devotion to phrases like "Judeo Christian values" is a good one, or another great word is "wholesome" (what does that mean anyway? "An activity that has the qualities of a whole?"), I think those things are hilarious.
Oh, here's a good one from their party platform: "To protect our
servicemen and women and ensure that Americas
Armed Forces remain the best in the world, we affirm
the timelessness of those values, the benefits of traditional military culture, and the incompatibility of
homosexuality with military service."
Hehehe... DOUCHEBAGS. I think "traditional values" are hilariously stupid.
And seriously, "the incompatability of homosexuality with military service"? Were they listening to themselves when they wrote that?
I would rather have some ripped, gay bodybuilder, like in that Vegas show Thunder from Down Under out there in our unrighteous wars than some straight fat computer code writer. Or Newt Gingrich, the largest cock in the world. Literally evil.
And it's rather contrasting to "The international promotion of human rights
reflects our heritage, our values, and our national
interest. Societies that enjoy political and economic
freedom and the rule of law are not given to aggression
or fanaticism."
Exactly! Except for the gays, of course, they don't count.
Oh, this is much to long to read all tonight. But I will have to. Tomorrow, perhaps. They have a section on continuing the war on drugs, a stupid venture of course.
Oh!, and look at this: "We consider discrimination
based on sex, race, age, religion, creed, disability,
or national origin to be immoral, and we will
strongly enforce anti-discrimination statutes. We ask
all to join us in rejecting the forces of hatred and bigotry
and in denouncing all who practice or promote
racism, anti-Semitism, ethnic prejudice, or religious
They VERY tactfully left sexual orientation out of their section insuring defending of our civil liberties and our constitutional rights!
When my school passes out it's little school book thing about rules and stuff, it says that they will not discriminate by any of those things they mentioned, but they put sexual orientation in there too! Which made me feel a lot better when I saw that at the beginning of the year.
And daaaaaaamn! : "Because our childrens future is best preserved
within the traditional understanding of marriage, we
call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects
marriage as a union of
a man and a woman, so that
judges cannot make other
arrangements equivalent to
I am so happy they haven't succeeded, because just the crap an AMENDMENT TO OUR CONSTITUTION like that would cause. That's why it wasn't put in there in the first place, guys.
Ooh: "A Republican Congress enacted the
Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of states
not to recognize same-sex marriages licensed in
other states. Unbelievably, the Democratic Party has
now pledged to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act"
What? CAN YOU BELIEVE THOSE DEMOCRAT ASSWIPES, THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY OUR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE!
Ok, I have to stop, as much fun as this is to pull quotes from the Republican party to criticize, it's late, and I think you're getting bored of it anyway.
Oh boy, I am cheered up now!
Anyway, g'night all!
That makes me laugh so hard... Homosexuallity being incompatiable with military service. Iseral has been kicking everyones ass in that region of the world long before we even 'attempted' to do so... and they let gays serve openly in there military before we did. :P I am sorry, but I am not seeing the incapability there. Oh and the same goes for the Britsh... :P
So much deception, linguistic trickery, boldfaced lies, pomposity, slaves to ideologies that enslave...
To see this truth requires no more than a brain that hasn't already been closed (purveyors of ideologies strive to make sure the door to the mind is glued shut once each victim's mind is theirs)... and, no more than just one functioning eye and/or ear should be quite adequate... :)
Yeah same here on the republican thing. I've also had that soapbox feeling. It got to where I felt like exploding. The only thing that helped? I came out to one person. Then I had 1 person I could just talk to and rant to. Then later I came out to my family when I felt comfortable.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win." -M. Gandhi
After reading reviews, this looks like a great novel that discloses the moral depravity that can ensue from unquestioning blind faith in an ideology (in this case, a religious sect)!
I'm inclined to add it to my long list of books-yet-to-be-read!
Was this an assigned book from school? If so, I'm very impressed.
I KNOW RIGHT! He's just, awesome. You should so tap that, he'd love you.
I'd really like to talk about how my stand partner in orchestra is uber cute and I always ask him for hugs but he rarely gives them to me... :P
You know, you would agree with what the Republicans have to say when it comes to money. Or, if you could find the Democrats talking about money, I expect you could have a bit of a laugh at that, though not nearly so good a laugh as you got from the Republicans.
Libertarian high-five?

A state appeals court has given its blessing to an environmental study of the Marin Municipal Water District's proposed desalination project, although the district has — at least for now — shelved its desalination plans.
A three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco reversed an August 2011 ruling by Marin Superior Court Judge Lynn Duryee, who concluded the water district failed to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act when it approved an environmental impact report for the desalination project.
Duryee had ruled the environmental impact report didn't properly describe the environmental setting near the site of the project near the Marin Rod and Gun Club in East San Rafael, and that it hadn't fully assessed the project's impact on marine life.
The water district argued that environmental assessments had been done and that a more comprehensive study would be conducted — as required by state and federal officials — once the project moved forward.
The appeals court agreed: "Having considered this record, we conclude that the EIR's description of the environmental setting was more than adequate," it wrote in its decision issued Tuesday.
The panel also supported the water district's environmental report on visual impacts from water tanks, water quality, seismic issues, pile driving and other issues connected to the proposed desalination project.
"We believe that Judge Duryee's ruling was well thought out, I'm surprised it was overturned," said Frank Egger of Fairfax, president of the North Coast Rivers Alliance, which joined several other parties in the lawsuit challenging the desalination project. "We will have to look at whether we will now appeal."
The desalination plant would take San Rafael Bay water and subject it to various forms of treatment to produce drinkable water through reverse osmosis technology. Officials who have supported the project said it would serve as a "drought proof" source of water for the county.
While the ruling is a victory for the water district, plans for the controversial desalination plant are dormant.
In 2010 the water district's Board of Directors decided to halt further work on the $115 million project because water demand had declined. That trend has continued, and officials point to weather conditions, the economy and water conservation as the reasons. The project remains on hold.
"Currently, MMWD has no plans to pursue desalination," said Krishna Kumar, general manager of the water district, in a written statement. "However, if the district ever needs to pursue desalination because of drought or water supply issues, the district can rely on this EIR along with any additional review needed."
In November 2010, district voters approved a ballot measure that requires a vote of residents to construct a desalination plant.

Maleah Stringer
Director Animal Protection League Hoosier Park helps make first Pet-tacular great success October 25 and 26 was the first Pet-tacular volunteer/staff appreciation and fund raising event at Hoosier Park. It was a great success in a number of ways; it raised much needed funds, it helped to raise awareness about the animals in our community and the work the Animal Protection League does and it was also a show of a community coming together to help support a cause. Due to the generosity of Hoosier Park October 25 was dedicated to appreciating and honoring the staff and volunteers at the Animal Protection League. These people work tirelessly for the animals in our community and are dedicated to making a difference. I and the Animal Protection League Board wanted to let these wonderful people know how much we appreciate them and all they do; but we simply didn't have the funds. Hoosier Park did it for us. APL staff and volunteers had a wonderful time and were overcome with all we were given. Hoosier Park had heard that we struggle to get our property mowed which includes the dog park. They donated a riding mower. I told them we need more indoor and outdoor kennels. They are donating the building materials and the workers to provide a more humane environment for our dogs. The event on Sunday included many activities; contest for pets with cash prizes, a silent auction to mention a few and a walkathon where people and their dogs (or a shelter dog) walked the Hoosier Park Race track and got pledges from friends, family and businesses based on how far they walked. All proceeds going to the Animal Protection League. As the director I believed it was important that I walk as well. I challenged anyone and everyone to walk longer or to raise more money than me. I made the ridiculous challenge that I would walk all four hours of the event if I could raise $5,000. The day of the event I had only been able to beg the amount of $2,500, so I said that unless I got the rest I'd just walk two hours instead of four. I was breathing a sigh of relief until one of our board members came up at 11:45 (the walk started at noon) with a nasty little smile, holding up a check. "It looks like you're walking four hours." The check was for $5,000. Don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic to get such a large check….but four hours? I need to learn to keep my mouth shut. The good news is, for my part of the walk, almost $9,000 was raised to help our animals. All I can say is I earned every dollar out on that dirt track. Hoosier Park is an important partner for the Animal Protection League; I can honestly say without their financial donations for 2013 we would have struggled to make ends meet. Many only see Hoosier Park as a race track and casino and have very firm opinions regarding this. I was one of those people. Many people and again I was one, have no idea of how much money and support Hoosier Park gives back to this community….to non-profit organizations like the Animal Protection League. It is safe to safe Hoosier Park gives hundreds of thousands of dollars in both monetary and in-kind community support. Hoosier Park is wonderful to work with and their support, generosity and kindness take my breath away. October 11, 2014 Never a dull moment at the Anderson Protection League You can say a lot of things about the shelter but the one thing you can't say is that it's boring. I've often thought we should try to get a reality TV show down on 613 Dewey St., to raise big money. It sometimes has a Jerry Springer feel to it. There are times that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or run… People don't really understand that it is a business and has procedures for dropping off animals. Some are indignant that we ask them to fill out paperwork. When you drop off dry cleaning you fill out paperwork, why would dropping off a living creature require less? What we hear is: But it's not mine. Why should I have to fill out paperwork? Why do you need to know my name and address? Well, because we do. I was in my office the other day when I heard a door slam and yelling. I rushed out to see our office manager very upset trying to hang onto a dog that a man just taken the leash off of and turned loose at our front door. The man was just standing there watching her struggle then he high tailed it to his car. I thought ah oh, now he's done it. My office manager had that look in her eye. She goes after him asking him to come in to fill out paperwork. They come in, then they leave; she goes after them again, they are in their car and starting to drive away. She rushes out armed with her phone and is taking pictures of the license plate as they are backing toward her. She gets it done and jumps out of the way just before they run over her. Something is mentioned about calling the police, the woman storms out of the car and into the lobby yelling and thus our Jerry Springer moment escalates. This is about when I thought about running. It was kinda like watching a train wreck. I tried to reason with the irate woman. She told me to just give her the blanking dog back. I told her no she wasn't getting the dog back. She then said she wasn't doing the blanking paperwork so just call the police. So I acted like I was calling the police. She said she'd do the paperwork if my employee took the picture off her phone. After much yelling and nastiness she did the paperwork and finally left. She was still cussing and screaming as she drove out of the parking lot. How can you not love this job? And most people think it's just about the animals… August 24, 2014 We are an open admission city shelter which means that we have to take any animal brought to us from within the city of Anderson or any of the entities that we have contracts…even if we have no space. Monday we were down two employees. One due to a death in the family, she will be gone all week, and another was at the hospital for his child who broke his arm and may need surgery. We operate with a skeleton crew on a daily basis so when an employee misses work, it makes it tight for all of us. Everyone's work automatically doubled. Noon: A poor man brought his 17-year-old rat terrier to be euthanized. He was a crying mess as were my staff and myself. A woman who has brought us multiple animals over the years brought yet another dog. It was terribly thin and had a 104-degree fever. We tested for Parvo; it was negative. I asked the woman why the dog was so thin she said the dog wouldn't eat for her. Well, the dog ate for us; two bowls of food right off the bat. I think she might have lied. The little dog has perked right up. A woman called last week wanting to bring in five cats, she said they weren't hers, she had been taking care of them. I asked if she could hang onto them for another few days we were completely full. Well, she brought them today… we were still full. Actually we have over two hundred cats and kittens; we always seem to be full. A man brings in an eight-week-old kitten covered in urine and feces. The little cat's eyes and nose are crusted shut with thick mucus and it is breathing through its mouth. It is covered in fleas and terribly thin. It is now 1 p.m. We have no more kennel space, not one empty crate. Two dogs are sitting in the outside kennels. Devonshire Veterinary Clinic provides us two free boarding kennels so we need to decide who gets to go. So hard to choose, there are so many… A man brings in his 13-year-old dog along with his buddy Bella, a year- and-a-half old beagle. He's moving he can't have them. Both dogs are scared out of their minds. I get on the phone and find a foster to take the 13-year-old. We decided to send Bella the beagle and Sonny the 9-year-old pit mix who is in the lobby to Devonshire. That opens up two cages. Before I can get out of the parking lot to take the dogs to Devonshire, a man is pulling in with two dogs to surrender. Once again we have no space. By the end of the day we had taken in 25 animals into a shelter that was already crammed full. We close at 5 p.m. At ten minutes after five a man pulls in with his dog who he wants to turn in, it is aggressive to humans, other animals and has attacked a child. He has four more at home, none spayed or neutered ... and it continues August 14, 2014 Give honor to parents by caring for their pets My Mom had a dog named Picasso who she rescued as a puppy. He was a little Border Collie mix who was a bundle of fur. He looked like a little black and white bear. Picasso was one of the cutest puppies I've ever seen. I adored him and my mom loved him to death. When Picasso got to be about 14, he started getting a little nippy with mom. It broke her heart to admit that she was getting a little afraid of him. Mom was living at home in Tennessee at the time. On one of my visits I told her I would bring him home and see how he did with me. She would miss him but could not bear to euthanize him simply because he was getting a little too much for her to handle. I promised I would do my best for him. I did not need nor want another dog. But I did it for my mom, because she loved Picasso, and I did it for him because I loved him too. He lived happily with me for another three years. Basically, I did it because I could and it would ease my mom's heart. It was a gift to her. The ease with which some people bring their loved ones' pets to shelters always amazes me — whether their parents are deceased, going into a nursing home or cannot care for the pets any more. These are pets whose ages in animal years are probably close to their elderly humans. These pets are missing their humans, and the next thing they know they are in a stressful shelter. I don't think this is how their owners envisioned life after their death or their ability to care for their beloved pets to be. It seems that people would want to keep and care for a pet that their parent loved so dearly. These pets are a link to that person, a little piece of their heart. I understand that for some, taking on a pet — no matter how beloved by a parent — is just not possible. But often they simply do not want the pet. It is just one more thing to take care of while wrapping up the life of a person who has passed. Pets can make life so much better for us as we get older. They provide company and love and are always there, even when children are too busy in their own lives to make time for their aging parents. Making sure a loved one's pet is cared for and cherished is the last gift we can give them. It is a way to honor that person and what was important in their life. It gives solace to the pet. And it can give solace to us. We have numerous animals whose owners have died at the Animal Protection League. They are senior pets who are depressed and sad. If you have room in your heart and your home, please consider giving one of these pets a place to live out their remaining years August 6, 2014 Since I've taken this job as Director at the Animal Protection League it is a wonder that I've not bitten my tongue completely off. I wish I could tell you things are better….but I really can't. A family brought their two small dogs and two cats to surrender to us on Monday . The animals were in the car. Their minister for whatever reason came with them. They told us that their landlord suddenly decided they couldn't have their pets anymore and they would be evicted if they did not get rid of them. My staff and I went to the car to get the animals. They were all in a thirty six inch wire crate with no bottom. One of the cats had tried to get out and was stuck. He was crying. We managed to get him unstuck. The car was so small that we could not open the crate so we had to lift it and set it on the ground. Meanwhile the other cat got stuck while the dogs were going crazy barking which caused both cats to hiss and go nuts. We finally got them out unscathed… at least physically. At this point my tongue was in definite danger. I asked to speak to the minister since he seemed to be the leader of this mess. I asked him if he thought the manner in which these animals were transported was appropriate. He seemed completely dumbfounded by my question. I explained why it was inappropriate. He still didn't understand. Compassion for all living creatures must not be in his ministry. Someone else brought in four tiny kittens. They explained they didn't want them. The kittens were barely alive; covered in fleas…inside and out. There were fleas in their mouths, their noses ears and private parts. One of our volunteers bathed them and picked fleas off of them. I hope they survive. What concerns me is the lack of empathy we see on a daily basis at the Animal Protection League. For some of these folks it's as if they are incapable of compassion and empathy. This is even more concerning because they are raising children….and as the saying goes children are our future. I think we should be scared out of our minds. There are people in our community who watch children and animals suffer…and do nothing. I believe this lack of compassion and empathy flows over into how they conduct their lives on other levels…how they treat their children; the elderly the challenged…the weak… I don't know scientifically if the ability to feel compassion and empathy is genetic or a learned trait…if children who have cruel parents will end up being cruel as well…maybe it would be safe to say the children will mimic the behavior of their parents. I suppose we can hope there is a teacher, coach, minister someone out there to show these children a different way to be in the world….Perhaps as a community it is up to us to be that role model August 2, 2014 The 'Cat Coop' tale or 'How I Spent My Summer' heraldbulletin.com In 2008 I turned my sun-room into a small cat room for cats from Animal Care and Control. I took the cats and kittens who had little chance of leaving ... the sick ones, the deformed, the old. We managed to adopt some and put the others in the 9 Lives prison program but a few are still with me. One of my dogs decided to dig under my privacy fence last year. To combat this I had eight tons of gravel delivered and put around the perimeter of the fence. Problem solved ... Curtis is afraid of gravel. I was looking at these poor rag tag cats and thought how nice it would be for them to be able to go outside. They are so timid I was sure they would not go over the fence. I put a cat door in the window and out they went. They loved it. I swear I could hear them giggling as they streaked across the yard. A couple of them got adventurous climbed the fence into the tree and went to the front yard. But I think they talked over the winter and decided that there was a huge world out there and they wanted to see it. I spent a lot of time running around like a nut rounding them up. They never went far, my front yard or my neighbor Andy's yard. But I didn't like them running loose; it goes against everything I believe. A friend suggested that we put an electric fence around the top. We did, sure that would deter them. I looked out right after we'd finished, one cat was standing on the wire looking back at me before she jumped in the tree and off she went. So we raised the voltage. They laughed as they went over. I cut the tree down that they used to escape. Ha Ha I thought. Take that. We all know gravel settles…they started to dig out under the fence. Every time I found a hole I put chicken wire down and covered it in gravel. They watched my efforts with nothing less than glee. Then I saw this great idea on Facebook. PVC piping with another pipe on a cable around the top. When they would try to stand on it; it would spin. I got the piping. But when we got ready to put it up we realized our mistake. It was designed for a chain link….if we put it up inside the panels they would climb up the posts if we put it over the posts they would go under. What to do? We built an enclosure. Of course my friend who did it said it wouldn't be any big deal…we could do it in a couple of days. Well, two weeks later after much trial and error and yelling we had built a 22 foot by 14 foot enclosure of PVC pipe, chicken wire and zip ties. And yes it has a top. It has a tunnel leading from the sun-room window and a gate. Little houses are inside for them to lounge in the sun. I call it a cat coop. They had been locked up for quite some time so they were chomping at the bit to get out. When they flew out the window the first time they were a bit dismayed. They sat and looked out to the rest of the yard… I could almost hear them talking…I can't believe she did this… I watch the little monsters walk the perimeter searching for a way out. I imagine the chatter: "It's just a matter of time…Dig. Or pick a spot and chew. Or guys just accept it and enjoy the sun, the grass and the air." So for now they are contained. It is a monument to my passion; or my insanity. All depends on how you look at it July 23, 2014 Staff @ APL heraldbulletin.com I often talk about the wonderful volunteers and community support we have at the Animal Protection League. And that volunteers are every non-profits' life blood…this is true for the Animal Protection League as well. In fact as I've said before without our volunteers and all they do for us we would not be as effective in making a positive difference for the animals in our community. We would be lost without our wonderful volunteers…. But I rarely talk about our staff. As with most animal rescue and city shelters we are understaffed and underfunded. At the Animal Protection League it is not unusual to see the Director or office manager mowing the yard, painting, cleaning kennels and cages; going out in the community and picking up animals even though animal control and picking up animals is not our job. We basically do anything that needs to be done. We do not have the luxury of saying "It's not my job." In order to provide a compassionate, humane environment there are things which have to be done and we all pitch in to make sure that it does. My staff are all passionate about animals. That is a requirement to work there. They come early and stay late if there is an animal in need. My staff adopt and foster our animals…particularly the ones who no one else seems to want; simply to save them. The staff at the Animal Protection League are the ones who take your fourteen flea infested kittens out of a urine soaked card board box, bathe them and remove the fleas. We are the ones who comfort animals when the owners surrender them; we are the ones who hold them and give them comfort while they are dying because the owner abandoned them or beat them or neglected them. We are the ones who wash them clean of feces and urine because they were locked in a cage. We are the ones who put ourselves in harms way because the owner trained their dogs to be aggressive. We are the ones who watch once happy healthy animals become depressed, stop eating and become ill because of the stress of shelter life. We are the ones the public yells at and threaten when their animals are taken away by the Anderson Police or the Madison County Sheriffs Department. We are the ones the public yell at because the adoption application they turned in online at midnight has not been processed as quickly as they believe it should be. The staff at the Animal Protection League are the ones whose hearts are broken on a daily basis because they see first hand what a segment of this community does to its animals. We are also the ones who get to experience the generosity, kindness and support of our community which gives us hope and energy to do the job another day. Why do we do this….Because how we treat our animals matters. Hats off to shelter workers everywhere who strive to be compassionate and make a difference for the animals in their communities. But especially hats off to my staff at the Animal Protection League. Maleah Stringer
Director Animal Protection League A young man and his mother came to the Animal Protection League last week.They had an adorable four month old Dachshund mix on a leash. They explained that they loved him so much but they couldn't keep him. We had to find him a good home.As the story progressed the young man said he was moving.They kept telling me how they hated to give him up…that he would be so scared of being in the shelter; that he was afraid of everything.I then asked if they had signed the lease yet and if not there are places willing to take pets.The mother said no the young man said yes and stormed out the door to stand outside with the dog.I followed him out. He was calling me some names that were a bit unpleasant.I asked him to repeat himself in that I hadn't heard him quite clearly.He did and went on to ask why I was making him feel bad for turning in a dog.That he couldn't afford to loose a fifteen hundred dollar deposit.I didn't have much to say to that.I simply picked up his dog and walked away.In my head the little voice I try not to let speak in public was asking if you are able to afford a fifteen hundred dollar deposit on a rental why can't you afford to find a place that will allow you to have your dog instead of subjecting him to shelter life.The mom told me that she watched him being born; and that they had to give up the mom as well. Another woman came in and wanted us to take her nine six week old kittens.She assured us that they would be adopted quickly because they are so cute.They are adorable but we have about fifty other adorable kittens.We asked about the momma cat.They were keeping her. We of course asked if they were getting her spayed.She said no…why…kittens are so cute and if she got pregnant again she'd just bring them to us.We offered to pay for the spay….again she said no…she said that spaying is cruel. As long as we have this mentality in this community where animals are concerned we are fighting a losing battle.In a way the existence of animal shelters allow irresponsible owners to be irresponsible. When they get tired of the pet, are moving, or pet is simply too much trouble they can simply surrender to a shelter with no repercussions.Yes, bringing an animal to a shelter is better than dumping the animal…and I've been asked why I think animal shelters exist…that that's what they are for…to take people's unwanted pets…And that's what the Animal Protection League and other shelters and human societies do….we accept the responsible of caring for pets that irresponsible pet owners should never have gotten. |
The following businesses have agreed to house some of our great cats for your convenience. This helps us allow our cats to get out into the community to meet their potential new owners and relate to people as they shop. We appreciate this community of animal lovers and are thankful for them offering cage space for us while our adoptable animals await their forever homes. They would love to go home with you today!!

Prism Sound's Orpheus Makes its Glastonbury Debut With Funktion One
Professional loudspeaker manufacturer Funktion One incorporated a Prism Sound Orpheus FireWire computer interface into the Ambisonics rig it used at this year's Glastonbury Festival in order to bring studio quality audio to sound playback.
Renowned for the audio quality of its loudspeaker systems, Funktion One prides itself on its minimalist approach to product design in order to maximise performance.
Managing director Tony Andrews explains: "We avoid the use of electronic equalisation to correct for system anomalies, as we believe that it is better to engineer the problems out of the loudspeaker system in the first place, rather than to correct for them electronically. Otherwise you pay a price in terms of phase response and headroom. We also avoid compression drivers in the mid-range, to keep distortion to a minimum. Our loudspeaker systems have excellent directional control allowing sound to be focused where it's needed and minimising out-of-venue environmental impact."
The company's loudspeaker designs focus on maximising efficiency in order to produce alive and responsive sound, and also to further minimise distortion. Its F1 Resolution system is a good example of this highly efficient design philosophy.
In recent months Funktion One has been demoing a number of software packages and soundcards, with a view to improving sonic integrity throughout its entire audio chain.
Andrews says: "The demo rig that we showed at this year's Frankfurt exhibition and the Ambisonics rig we will be using at Glastonbury both use a FireWire DAC to stream audio from software applications. We are very keen to retain an 'emergency' analogue volume control in our systems prior to the power amplifiers driving the speakers, as any glitches/crashes etc in the audio playout software could have serious implications when dealing with systems capable of producing well in excess of 120dB SPL! Even though we have digital inputs on our crossovers, which would allow us o keep the audio in the digital domain right up until the last DAC stage in the crossovers, we prefer to exit the computer using the best FireWire DAC we can. This means we can use an analogue fader prior to the crossovers' ADC inputs."
Andrews and fellow Funktion One Director John Newsham began investigating FireWire DACs and after auditioning a number of different interfaces they came to the conclusion that Prism Sound's Orpheus was the best.
"The Orpheus left everything else standing," Andrews says. "It delivered exceptional audio quality throughout and was particularly smooth on the higher frequencies without compromising the bass. With Orpheus as part of our audio chain we gave this year's Glastonbury audiences a new level of high frequency presence and clarity."
Funktion One's Ambisonics rig was located in The Glade, an area of the Glastonbury Festival that plays host to an aural rainbow of thrilling beats and breaks, enhanced by awe-inspiring lightshows projected onto the G Stage canopy. Having initially been a laidback ambient venue, it has developed into a platform for spontaneity where artists from a wide spectrum of backgrounds participate in creating something original and experimental.
Commenting on Funktion One's decision to employ an Orpheus interface, Prism Sound's Sales and Marketing Manager Jody Thorne says, "Funktion One has a real reputation for sound quality in the field of PA/touring rigs and we really value the endorsement Tony and John have given us by choosing to include a Prism Sound Orpheus FireWire interface into their pioneering Ambisonics rig. Our design philosophy has always been one of zero-compromise, and although Orpheus was initially targeted at the recording studio market, we recognize that it also offers huge advantages to live sound and playback applications where there is equal need for a high quality audio interface. We are therefore delighted to be associated with a live sound company that strives to put audio quality first and has chosen Orpheus because it best fits their criteria."

Of nine weeks on the job I spent 5 at Candlewood suites ant that was mostly because I didn't find them in the beginning.
Very comfortable and good value

Exceeding expectations

Excellent hotel for the money. Especially clean, quiet, friendly staff and convienient location. I expect the rate to increase because of the excellent service and amenities. I've stayed at competing hotels and have received less for more money. Thank you Candlewood.
Good Stay. Pretty much what I expected

Girls and their elders who love the young-adult book on which Ella Enchanted is based will turn into pumpkins waiting around for a prince-with-the-slipper finale: This version is sole-less. But the energy of Gail Carson Levine's prose is replaced by something equally charming in director Tommy O'Haver's (''Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss'') adaptation: the hoot and giggle of a girl-power fairy tale blended from potions of ''Monty Python,'' ''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,'' and ''Shrek.''
Saddled with the burdensome ''gift'' of mandatory obedience by a loose-cannon fairy godmother (Vivica A. Fox), Ella of Frell (Anne Hathaway, the beaming who-ya-gonna-call of princess players) grows up at the frustrated mercy of anybody's command. Naturally, a wicked stepmother (Joanna Lumley of ''Absolutely Fabulous'' -- who better?) and horrid stepsisters (Brits Lucy Punch and Jennifer Higham) take advantage of her pliancy; naturally, a dreamy prince (Hugh Dancy) sees through to the real Ella.
It apparently took a sorority of screenwriters to come up with an updated and more labored plot that now includes the prince's evil uncle (Cary Elwes) and, for unnecessary Disneyfication, a talking serpent. But the sharpest jokes in this cheerily pudding-colored-looking production are visual and throwaway: The stepsisters read Damsel Zone and Medieval Teen magazine. The girls admire goblets at the Crockery Barn in the Galleria of Frell. The elves sing and dance like the teenage drama queens in Camp. Princesshood has rarely looked so tra-la-la gay.


text: I apologize for the abbreviated tasting note on this one, but it was two days ago and I wasn't terribly impressed. It's a good green oolong mind you, slightly floral (my friend had a hard time placing it, not orchid, not jasmine, oramanthus, I doubt she's had oramanthus but I have once), a slight cooling note at the end but creamy? no. buttery? no. I've had two other unflavored milk oolongs from Taiwan and this I'm afraid just didn't measure up, which is unfortunate as I had high hopes for this. Now I suppose there could have been brewing factors or that the sample I got passed on from Michelle, was older or something, but it simply didn't resemble the other milk oolongs in anyway. ::shrug:: Thanks for letting me try it Michelle

Essendon are so **** it makes me so so happy. Predicted this when they were flying.
Everyone that said Essendon are a top 4 chance at any point this season should be kicked in the nuts as punishment.
Incredible start to this game by Sydney. Intense and clean with the ball. Wasn't expecting this at all against Hawthorn.

Now a five point game at half time. Should be a cracker hopefully.
Haven't a clue how this will finish but if Hawthorn keep Franklin and Roughead up front they'll be bloody hard to beat here.
Jeez that's a soft free. Got to be paid though
What a game. Seriously.
That's that. Great Fightback Hawthorn. Some poor decisions by Sydney especially in defense in the second quarter cost them that game IMO.
i have little faith in carlton playing this poorly all match, but boy it'd be great if they did

Somebody Help Me
i've had this motherboard with 2 primary ide controllers. (udma33 primary and secondary, and ata66 primary and secondary) built into the mobo. i was never able to use the ata66 controller without problems. i replace my mobo (cause i wanted a new processor) and this only had ata66 onboard.
my problem with both mobos is that i can never use winXP or win2K. winME worked fine on both mobos. I can't even install an NT based operating system! and this is killing me. somebody help. I refuse to switch the motherboards again just to recover my files over at the other partitions that had NTFS file formats. Does this make sense ¿ I need to have two OS running. I install UT on both partitions so i can map using only official ut files, and play UT on the other partition installing any umx, utx, and any other unofficial files that can't leak into my maps. |

Power outages plague south suburbs, Joliet
BY BOB OKON email@example.com June 25, 2013 12:24PM
Updated: July 27, 2013 6:26AM
People who still were without electricity Tuesday could be waiting until Wednesday night — and maybe longer — for the power to come back on, ComEd said.
The storm that blew through the area late Monday afternoon knocked down trees and knocked out power in Joliet and other areas. The south suburbs were hit the hardest, ComEd said, and those areas could be the last to get power restored.
The strength of the storm was evident in the tree sprawled across the front of Jyme Shepherd's house in the Crystal Lawns subdivision, located near the Louis Joliet Mall. The tree, like others in the neighborhood, was being whipped by the high winds. This one cracked.
"I looked out the window, and the tree was coming at me in a spiral motion," Shepherd said. "I couldn't believe it. And all of a sudden, it just stopped."
ComEd said winds were as high as 75 mph in some areas.
As of 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, ComEd counted 44,000 customers still without power. Of those, 34,000 were in the south suburbs.
About 3,300 customers in Joliet were still without power by Tuesday evening, ComEd said.
The effort to restore power in Joliet was set back by a new outage that occurred in the business district near the Louis Joliet Mall in midafternoon.
The mall itself had power. But many businesses along Route 30 were closed, including Dunkin' Donuts, Diamand's Restaurant, and the Shell gas station. The Target store was open but the refrigerated food section was not open to customers. And The Home Depot was operating on dim lights.
Stop lights along Route 30 were out, creating long lines of cars during the afternoon rush hour as Joliet police directed traffic. The ligts were still out at 7 p.m., although traffic was lighter.
ComEd spokesman John Schoen said the company did not have an explanation for the mall-area outage, which occurred during calm weather.
"Sometimes there are secondary outages," Schoen said. "When a storm like that comes through, sometimes a branch falls late. It's hard to say."
Schoen said crews were working on the outage, but he did not have an estimate for when power would be restored.
John Halbesma, who lives in Crystal Lawns, still had no power by midafternoon and said he was not sure when he would get it.
"As of this morning, they said it could be Thursday," he said.
Wilshire Boulevard, where Halbesma lives, was lined with fallen tree branches awaiting pick-up. Much of the debris in the subdivision had been cleared away by Plainfield Township road crews that started picking up and chipping branches Monday night.
Halbesma said he watched the storm move across Essington Road into the neighborhood.
"You could see the trees just bending and whirling around," he said.
The high winds seemed to last about 30 seconds, he said.
Ann Macdonald, another Crystal Lawns resident, said, "It was really quick. It was like a microburst."
The National Weather Service in Romeoville had spotty information about wind speeds and no measurements from Joliet. But a meteorologist said winds of 80 mph were measured in Mazon in Grundy County. In Romeoville, the highest wind speed measured was 65 mph.

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreSpace is at a premium in Provence. June, July, and August are considered to be high season, and it can be particularly difficult to find a place to stay. In the smaller towns, make sure always to email or call ahead at least a month or two in advance as in the off-season many of the smaller hotels close and in the high season they are often full long in advance. Book as far in advance as possible
for some of the more popular spots—it's not uncommon to book up to six months to a year in advance. Many return visitors book their next year's stay at the end of this year's visit. If you are having trouble finding a place to stay, check with the local tourism website or office. They may have a list of hotels.
In Marseille, be careful to note where your hotel is located. Even if the hotel is deluxe, it may be near an unsavory neighborhood.

PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and high-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware.

In our first test we can see that the ViewSonic VOT132 struggles against the ASRock nettop that is able to be overclocked with its included OC software. The VOT132 is also a little behind the Slim-N10 from Giada, but not by a huge margin.

I have been trying to identify all of the trees in my yard. So far, I have known that I have an apple tree and a pear tree, not sure of the types; I also have a mulberry tree, some type of oak that produces alot of acorns, my neighbor has a maple somewhere as I see the pods all of the time. Today I recently figured out one tree is a Catalpa as it has huge heart shaped leaves, white flowers that are very fragrant, and produces 12 inch long pods.
What I am wondering about is on my west side of my house I have a tree with smooth leaves that are very dark green and glossy. it produces clusters of tiny berrylike seeds that are kind of hairy. The fruit never gets bigger than a few millimeters, then dries up and falls to the ground around fall. The leaves currently curl in and it has always been late to put on leaves compared to all the other trees. It grows branches fast though, I always have to lop them off for the guys to read the meter or they will and bill me plus it has now started pushing on my roof, squeaking in the wind so I need to go cut it back there too. Whatever it is, it is a strong tree, never shows dead branches at all, but I know it is not a chinese elm as we get those all the time against the foundation and I have had to Tordon those. Someone tried telling me it was some kind of cherry tree, but i know it isn't wild cherry or choke cherry. Does anyone have any idea? |
