Pay to Play High School Sports is Here!
12.11.13 |
04.27.10 | | Comments[0]
I have a confession to make. April 15th is a day that I really hate and I'm so glad it came and went a couple of weeks ago. April 15th is the one day of the year that makes one think of taxes and that's enough to get almost anyone angry. Now I know that taxes are part of life, but I think paying taxes in America really stinks.
For starters, the amount we pay in taxes is simply obscene. We fork over too much in local, state, and federal taxes. New York and Pennsylvania should get Academy Awards for soaking their citizens with high taxes. Then our hard earned money is handed over to politicians and bureaucrats in Albany and Harrisburg who waste it and often give it to lazy good-for-nothings who simply do not want to work.
On top of this, the federal government collects our hard earned cash and then spends the money like a drunken sailor on inefficient and ineffective programs. So much money is spent that the government has to borrow from China and then our tax dollars are spent to pay the interest on the money that the idiots in Washington have borrowed.
It's no wonder that that the Tea Party Movement has stuck a cord with millions of Americans. Americans who are sick and tired of the tax and spend mentality that is ruining this country. I agree with the late great President Ronald Reagan who said, "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem."
I'm glad that April 15th won't be around for another year because it represents and symbolizes what is so terribly wrong with America. It's a day that I really hate.

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 Domino!
Facts about Domino
- Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Domino's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Meet Domino, our handsome tri-color Australian Cattle Dog! He's about a year and a half old and weighs in at 37 pounds. Domino will be very excited to meet you, so please excuse him if he jumps up on you; that's just his way of shaking hands! He loves treats and will love you even more if you give him some! A home with older children would suit Domino best. Call Rescue Village at (440)338-4819 or stop in soon to get more information about this awesome guy! Domino is a MYM Green Go Getter.
Other Pets at Geauga Humane Society Rescue Village
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Domino, a Novelty Australian Cattle Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog for sale in Novelty, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog dog from a breeder in Novelty.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Novelty 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 Novelty 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 Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Novelty paves the way for another one to be saved.

Have you guys ever had chicken before?
I just had some chicken. It's good! It's not salty like pork or dry like cat food.
The chicken I had was special. It was processed and wadded and glazed with honey barbeque sauce and various artificial preservatives. Each meaty chickenwad was tender and benign, like former president Gerald Ford.
I recommend these honey barbeque processed chickenwads to all of you. They tickled my taste buds, groped my uvula, and made unwelcomed sexual remarks to my small intestine. That's chicken for you, though. Chicken shoots first and gets dipped in honey mustard later.
I think someone should make a new breakfast cereal with big old chunks of chicken in it. I'm no marketing genius, but it seems to me you get some crispy flakes, toss in some chicken hunks, and slap a picture of a cartoon Spaniard on the box and you've got yourself a million dollar idea. You can thank me later.
Chicken – it's not just for people from Central America anymore!

Infor Releases Inforce Marketing Marketing Automation System
Infor, a provider of business application software, has announced the release of Inforce Marketing, a comprehensive global marketing automation system built on the Salesforce Platform.
According to company sources, Inforce Marketing will provide enterprise-strength capabilities in an economical, user-friendly format. Marketers will benefit from high speed, efficiency and clarity concerning marketing plans and budgets delivered via a one-stop workspace covering all campaign communications.
"Previously, sophisticated marketing operations relied on antiquated software that was expensive and hard to manage, inhibiting them from accessing an accurate picture of campaigns and information when they needed it," said George Wright, senior vice president and general manager of CRM, Infor.
Infor has developed Inforce Marketing to streamline marketing processes. The solution integrates deeply with Salesforce to streamline the marketing process, and offers greater visibility over leads, costs, results and revenue.
It lets marketers focus on other critical issues as they can now identify lead generation at each level of planning.
Inforce Marketing, included in AppExchange's new Social Apps Showcase, links back-office ERP to front-office lead and customer management. The new solution helps optimize multichannel campaign management as it allows for the automatic execution of a campaign, freeing marketers from checking on progress and manual follow-up.
It lends support to multichannel campaigns like e-mail, direct mail, social media and telemarketing.
The marketing automation system gives clear visibility into lead optimization by assessing the quality of leads and checking if it matches the company's ideal lead profile. It also provides advanced analytics and reporting which will help marketers plan, manage and monitor revenue objectives and KPIs for further improvement.
In April 2012, Infor presented the Infor10 ION Workspace, a solution that enhances the Workspace user experience, by offering role-based information from multiple applications in a single interface with a common, sleek look-and-feel to enhance decision making across the enterprise.
Looking to grow your channel opportunities? Then be sure to attend Channel Vision Expo (CVx), collocated with ITEXPO West 2012 taking place Oct. 2-5, in Austin, TX. Stay in touch with everything happening at Channel Vision Expo. Follow us on Twitter.

High-Contrast Neutrals in an Alabama Living Room
In the living room of an Alabama townhouse, designer Susan Ferrier created a rich tapestry of high-contrast neutralsdeep browns, pale beiges, and taupes. In here and in all rooms except the master bedroom, walls and trim are painted in Benjamin Moore's Abingdon Putty. Instead of using a coffee table, Ferrier arranged cream tree stumps from Bungalow Classic's Petrified Wood Collection and a black one from South of Market so the view of the fireplace wouldn't be blocked.

Overview of content related to 'archives'
This page provides an overview of 735 articles related to 'archives', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
An archive is a collection of historical records, or the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of an organization. In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings.

On Capitol Hill, members and staff are busily reading hundreds of pages of proposed legislation that will govern spending for FY 2014—the fiscal year that started on October 1, 2013. Since striking a bipartisan deal on overall spending in December—one of the stipulations of the agreement that brought the sixteen-day government shutdown to an end—House and Senate appropriators have been working on the details of the annual spending plan. While there was originally a deadline of January 15 to finish that work, Congress added three days to the current temporary spending bill that is supporting federal government operations. As usual, the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) funding plan was one of the last to be worked out. While the spending bill for education would restore a large portion of the cuts that were the result of sequestration, the education community finds itself being thankful that the cuts aren't as bad as they could be—not a great result for the community.
While the budget negotiations are of primary concern, other important issues were debated in the Senate last week. A cloture vote was secured on a bill to extend emergency unemployment benefits for three months, allowing a debate. The Senate discussion is focused on finding the $6 billion necessary to pay for this extension of benefits. Absent that offset, the final bill is unlikely to get any Republican support in the Senate and will certainly not be taken up in the House. Another bill close to the finish line is the Agriculture Reauthorization Act. How deeply Congress will agree to cut the food stamp program is the final point of contention with that legislation. The fact that a search is on for offsets for unemployment benefits makes this issue of particular concern as food stamps are an important benefit for those people dependent on unemployment insurance.
It was announced recently that President Obama will address Congress with his State of the Union speech on January 28. The president's budget proposal generally comes the week following that address. However, the budget will be at least 30 days late due to Congress' inability to come up with a timely budget for FY 2014. In spite of this, the budget debate this year is likely to move more smoothly given the fact that the overall spending level has already been agreed to by all members of Congress, and there are midterm elections on the horizon.
Teacher Leadership InitiativeThe National Education Association (NEA), the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), and the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) announced the launch of a joint Teacher Leadership Initiative (TLC) to recruit, prepare, and support a new generation of teacher leaders. The goal of this endeavor—starting with 150 teachers and growing to 1,000 by 2017—is to offer selected on-site and online professional training in the areas of instructional leadership, policy leadership, and union leadership. At the kickoff event, the three CEOs of the founding organizations spoke about their vision of a national movement led by accomplished teacher voices with expertise at its core. Dennis Van Roekel, president of NEA, noted that today's principals are overburdened with responsibility and are asking teachers to take on more leadership roles in schools to address this concern. It is critical, however, that these teachers have the required expertise and the training that they desire if this new vision for schools is to be realized. In the past, it was only through union membership that teachers found leadership opportunities. TLC is designed to expand those options. The initial TLC teacher class is from Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Mississippi. Participants in the program will work in cohorts with partners that include state and local NEA chapters and state and local education foundations and organizations. Over time, thousands of teachers will have the opportunity to participate, ultimately developing the necessary expertise to engage in leadership roles within their schools.
School Discipline Guidance Package The U.S. Department of Education (ED), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), released a school discipline guidance package that will assist states, districts, and schools in developing policies and practices that enhance school climate and comply with federal law. The guidance package consists of four resources:

Promise Zones Launched in 5 Communities Five communities were announced as the first "Promise Zones" as part of the Obama Administration's initiative to improve challenged communities of the middle class. President Obama highlighted the larger initiative in his 2013 State of the Union Address; its overall goals include job creation, economic security, expanded educational opportunities, increased access to affordable housing, and improved public safety. The first five zones—San Antonio, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Southeastern Kentucky, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma—have produced strategic plans detailing how local business and community leaders will be leveraged to expand opportunities and promote the goals of the initiative. In return these leaders will be given an advantage in a number of federal grant applications. Cecilia Muñoz, Domestic Policy Council Director, asserted that through this program, the government "can be a much better partner in helping local leaders develop policies that improve education, protect the most vulnerable, and encourage entrepreneurial spirit."

Brookings Institution Discusses School Choice The Brookings Institution hosted an event titled "The Value of School Choice." Grover J. (Russ) Whitehurst, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy and author of the third annual Brookings report, The Education Choice and Competition Index, began the event by summarizing the findings from his report on school choice. The report examines school districts nationwide and ranks them based on 13 criteria that determine the level and quality of choice they provide. For the second year in a row, the Recovery District in New Orleans and the New York City School Districts ranked first and second, respectively, in this report. Whitehurst then introduced House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), a vocal champion of school choice. Cantor praised school choice as the answer to lifting people out of poverty and asserted, "It is my personal goal that in 10 years, every child in American will have education opportunity through school choice no matter where they live." View the report.
STEM Education Leaders and Students The House Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Research and Technology convened a hearing to examine public-private partnerships that are focused on improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the country. The subcommittee has held a number of these hearings during the 113th Congress to highlight various STEM education initiatives, discuss the appropriate role of the federal government in improving STEM education, and debate how the $3 billion that is spent across more than 13 different federal agencies might yield better results. Conservative members of the panel have asserted, repeatedly, that federal spending results are questionable given that achievement still disappoints. In recent international testing results, American students ranked 26th in math and 21st in science academic achievement. The hearing featured two panels of witnesses—the first included four leaders of STEM education initiatives, and the second was composed of students who shared their experiences and opinions about how to better engage them and their peers in the disciplines that are so important to the country's economy. Dean Kamen, famed inventor and founder of the FIRST Robotics program, urged members to help him bring his programs to more kids by giving resource-challenged schools public dollars to do so. Hadi Partovi, CEO and co-founder of Code.org, shared the great success of his organization's "Hour of Code," which exposed more than 20 million students to coding and computer science in December, and asked Congress to eliminate policy barriers that make it difficult for computer science to work its way into what is taught in all K–12 schools. The witnesses emphasized that there is no "silver bullet" to cure what ails STEM education in the country, but they stated that better teacher preparation, intentional afterschool programming, private-public partnerships, and better connections with K–12 schools and leaders are key to improving results.

New America Foundation Scrutinizes Parent PLUS Loans The New America Foundation hosted a panel discussion on the Parent PLUS loan program and released a report, "The Parent Trap: Parent PLUS Loans and Intergenerational Borrowing," that presented new data, a primer, and recommendations for reforming the program. The report suggests that policymakers should consider one of three options:
The report refers to previous recommendations from the New America Foundation to establish a cumulative Stafford Loan limit for undergraduate students at $40,000—both dependent and independent. This loan limit recommendation was offered along with many others in the organization's report for the Gates Foundation on reforming the entire federal student aid system. The panelists agreed on the need for more data and that reforms to PLUS should be viewed in conjunction with other changes to aid and loan programs, ideally through the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. Libby Nelson, education reporter at Politico Pro, noted that despite the apparent consensus on a holistic approach, reforms to PLUS were set to happen within the near future through negotiated rulemaking. Kevin Fudge, educational/financial aid advisor at American Student Assistance (ASA), asserted that families were not best served by for-profit colleges with attractive marketing as well as they were served by private nonprofits. Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, disagreed with Fudge and the report and stated that such policies would greatly restrict opportunity for low-income students. He also pointed to the federal government's "profits" as the real problem with student lending and called for Income Based Repayment (IBR) for Parent PLUS along with lower interest rates. Cheryl Smith, senior vice president at the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), did not confront Fudge, but she offered many of the same policy recommendations as Gunderson and said that recent changes that restricted PLUS availability for some borrowers were imprudent.

Million Women Mentors Launch Initiative STEMconnector hosted the Launch of Million Women Mentors (MWM). The National Press Club event introduced mentor partnerships, highlighted affiliate achievements, and challenged organizations to support the one million women in STEM initiative. Edie Fraser, CEO of STEMconnector, remarked that women in STEM fields earn, on average, $0.92 to every $1.00 that men in STEM careers earn. She compared that average to women who work in non-STEM careers who make, on average, $0.77 per $1.00 earned by men (with minority women making as little as $0.54 per $1.00 earned by men). The goal of MWM is to begin a movement of mentorship in which young girls have access to female mentors who can encourage and direct them to information regarding pathways to successful careers in the STEM fields that are currently underrepresented by women. MWM found that 74 percent of STEM workers are male while only 26 percent are female, and that 12 of 100 female bachelor students graduate with a STEM major and of those 12 only three continue to work in STEM fields ten years after graduation. Global corporations such as Walmart, Accenture, and Sodexo were represented at the Mentor Launch in support of Million Women Mentors' efforts. More info

Mirrors should use --delay-updates --delete-after when they update. It's not perfect but good enough. It seems the portage tree is very small (we only mirror distfiles so I'm not sure). If so, there's a truly atomic way to update using fancy rsync options. The atomic-rsync perl script, in the support directory of the rsync source, implements it.

The most impressive thing I find about this product is its healing and moisturizing effects when my skin is traumatized. I got some Retin-A close to the corners of my mouth a couple of times, which basically burned and devasted the tissue there, and I tried EVERYTHING (from Vitamin E to Perricone Lip Plumper to Chanel Solution Destressante, you name it) to soothe the dryness and irritation and this is the only product that worked. It's very rich, but I didn't expect it to have the almost occlusive effect on what was effectively a wound caused by Retin-A, and was the only product that allowed me to get makeup and podwer to set while my skin was so irritated that it was almost an open wound. Amazing stuff.
I gave this a five-star review a couple of years ago... have strayed with various other products since (Stri-Vectin, Clarins MultiConfort, Hope in a Jar, Murad, Dior Model Lift) but I always have this around for emergencies. Like most of us on MUA I'm a little obsessed with the latest and most wonderful high-end moisturizers, but I think I'll stick with this when the jars of my various other purchases run out.

Absolutely love it! I'm mid 40's, have combination skin, and use RR Night Concentrate both morning and night and don't find it too greasy, although I do let it dry for at least 10 minutes before I use makeup. My skin is sensitive and I have no problems with breakouts or other bad reactions with this product. Only better looking skin! I use it on my face, neck, upper chest, hands, and forearms. Great anti-aging product at a fantastic price. I'm hooked.

Mmm, this is a GREAT nightcream for the colder months(this is the one with kinetin). I see a visible difference every morning after using this, my combination skin looks and feels absolutely velvety and wonderful. Tiny lines are smoothed, surface seems flawless, yeay! I alternate between this (which is like a rich treat) and Clarins Normalizing Night Gel (which is like refreshing moisture). However, during the hotter months, this far too weighty. (Likewise, the Clarins Normalizing Night Gel isn't enough for cooler, drier months). But overall, I love this stuff.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am not crazy about this at well. It doesn't absorb to the skin. I touched my face more than a hour after I applied and my face was still sticky!!! I think maybe this is only good for people with extremely dry but that doesn't say on the package. I ended up using it as a hand cream.
When using this product at night before I go to bed, I wake up to smoother skin. It doesn't say it on the box, but my pimples heal much faster (with minimal scarring!) after using this for a few months. Great stuff!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Never Again Will I Ever Use ANYTHING With Kinetin.
This stuff burned the crap out of me and in the 3 consecutive nights I used it, my face was left raw, rough and with deep, painful cystic zits next to my mouth and random red patches everywhere else.
Did it rejuvenate? Nope. Did it repair? Hell no.
Is this the one with kinetin? Sure. Okay, well that's the one I'm talking about. So I heard this faded acne scars, and I mine aren't bad, but they're just annoying to me. So I bought a sample and tried it for about a month. And well... it was okay. Just okay. I really liked the silky texture. I was disappointed because it didn't fade my scars, but my skin did seem smoother and more radiant, so I'll give it that. Good stuff, just didn't do what I wanted it to.
I am having better luck with the Kinetin Firming & Pore-refining Serum. The R&R cream was too heavy for my combo, clogged-pore-prone skin, it was too rich and i didnt tolerate it well, all my skin did was purge the product, gah. This product would be good for very dry w/small pores skin types, or very mature skin. I'm 30, i may try it again when i'm as old as my mom.. until then, the serum is my choice.
Wow. Have been using this for 10 days & can definitely see and feel improvement in texture and tone. Strange thing, I've avoided Almay for years and the Kinetin range - not sure why - perhaps it looks a little generic? Oh well, here I stand converted. I have restructured my night routine around Repair/Rejuvenate and bought the neck creme two days ago (concession to turning 43 this week!). See how we go. UPDATE: I'm in awe. Superb results, my skin is now close to flawless. I'm off to buy the serum tomorrow. I keep peering into the mirror and asking myself, "Am I imagining this?" because I never thought a skin creme could deliver the way R&R has for me. I'm going to Japan next year and I am already worried I wont be able to find it there! I can already see the guys in customs opening my make-up bag and finding multiple boxes of this stuff!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product actually evens out my skin tone like no other product has without irritation. One downfall is that it leaves a sticky feeling on your face, but since it's for night time use I don't mind given its great performance. The only reason I might stray from this product is because I'm thinking if this stuff is this good, Osmotics kinetin serum or Kinerase lotion might be even better.

Scotland Ruby 2011
It's unanimously decided: SQL is out, everything else is in. Well, that's what everyone is saying at least. If you pick your data store based on the bullet points of their website, this talk is for you. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Yahoo! have been building these systems for years, releasing papers along the way. Lot's of thought went into these systems, and lot's of thought needs to take place when choosing one of their clones. Let's talk a bit about what it means to be eventually consistent, why you should care about distributed systems, BASE vs ACID, and some of the other topics that make these systems stand out from their SQL counterparts. The goal of this talk is to give you some base knowledge that you can leverage when choosing the data store, helping you choose the right tool for the job.

Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 7:27 pm:
I just acquired a rear pto that will be going on my 332. I also have the 3 point hitch. From what I have come up with, the 2000 rpm pto uses a unique spline and diameter not to be mixed up with 1000 or 540 rpm attachments. Deere made a MCS and mechanical tiller that ran off there pto. Cub Cadet also had a rear tiller that ran off of the 2000 PTO, and Kubota as well? I gues Tractor Supply sells the stub shaft that fits the female spline of the gearbox on the tractor.
Are there other attachments/brands that will work with the 2000rpm PTO? Has anyone built any custom attachments or retrofitted any existing ones? A power lawn thatcher and rear mounted snowblower can be found in the gallery, any others out there?
I think a rear mounted flail mower, 48" wide with a pto shaft off the tractor to a right angle gearbox with shaft running to one side then reduced through a chain would be cool to make. Dont want to think about how much work it would be to attach all the brackets for the flails to hang from!

AJ, I remembered these a little while after I posted. I knew they made something else, hard to justify offering the PTO option for only 2 attachments!

Of course the 30 hydraulic tiller can run off the rear PTO clutch (albeit a slightly unique set-up with a double pulley instead of the spline drive) and since you can get a different version of the 30 hydro tiller that mounts the pump under the belly in the same place as the deck, the tiller can be set up to use either the front or rear PTO, so I don't think that this attachment qualifies as a justification for your definition.
Does anyone here on WFM need justification for the hobby??

CC also sold a 42" single blade rotary mower made by Bush Hog. That mounted on the 3PH and was driven off of the 2000 RPM PTO.

Wheel Horse 3pt Cat 0 attachments will work as well. They made a 50 inch tiller, and a 60 inch rear mower (made for them by Woods, I believe it was a model RM306 painted red instead of yellow and white). JD made two collection systems that used the splined shaft 2K rpm pto. The Tilt Dump MCS, and the Hydraulic Dump MCS. Do not try to convert a 540 RPM attachment by simply changing the shaft on the implement. Your tractor does not have enough horse power to drive the attachment at almost 4 times it's design speed. This would also be very unsafe. Also the JD 400 garden tractor 3 pt Cat 0 rear PTO attachments will not work without significant modification.

Thanks guys, I have seen a few of these guys, Woods RM42 mowers.
Passed one up for $300. I didnt have the PTO then, oh well.
I know Mark from southern WI bought a rear finish mower at Little G for his tractor. It was the 430 with the 3 pt fork lift on it. Not sure what brand finish mower it was, but it was red and basically a rectangle with a gearbox.

I sold the mower to Mark. It is a Rotek mower (I think???) that artsway bought out. You can still get parts through artsway. The mower is a 48 inch with one gear box then belt drive to two blades. Very good mower. Mark posted a picture of it after he got it home. I sold it because I put a JD503 on my 4410. Ron

As far as rear mowers go, I really like the performance of my 260 behind my 420. It's a finishing mower, but it goes through some pretty ugly stuff, also. The occasional pocket gopher mound really doesn't bother it, but it sure throws the clippings on me/the back of the tractor/and itself.

Do they still do that? I know my dad used to get .05 for a pocket gopher front paw, and he used to give us kids a quarter for one. We learned how to get 'em pretty good. In a 200 acre pasture, they would be making mounds in the opposite end from the cows. (if the cows were in the North end at night, there would be fresh mounds in the south end.) Trapping them works very well, but who has the time? It's unfortunately one of those things that gets put on the back burner, then one day you notice you're over run with 'em. We had a pasture sit empty for a couple years, they really tore it up in a hurry. When we ran cattle back in it, the pocket gophers vacated in a hurry. I even shot some that were topside during the day, never saw that before. Dog got a bunch, too.
My brother in AZ has a problem with gophers. They burrow into his irrigation berms, and make them leak. He traps them just like pocket gophers. They must be tough to dig through that red dirt--more like concrete!

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 Sadie!
Facts about Sadie
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sadie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sadie is approximately a year old and is one super sweet girl. Had her first training session with our trainer and picked up very quick. She wants to be touching her human all the time.
WV Pet, Inc. pets are fully vetted if age appropriate & micro chipped. We also offer weekly training session free of charge for anyone who adopts a pet from us. And these sessions are ongoing to help our adoptive families and their new companion.
Other Pets at WV Pet, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sadie, a Morgantown Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Morgantown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Morgantown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Morgantown 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 Morgantown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Morgantown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Baron Adolf de Meyer American, New York City, 1925 Collotype 15 3/8 x 15 5/8 in. 84.XP.452.5
In 1925 Josephine Baker, an American dancer from Saint Louis, Missouri, made her debut on the Paris stage in La Revue nègre (The Black Review) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, wearing nothing more than a skirt of feathers and performing her danse sauvage (savage dance). She was an immediate sensation in Jazz-Age France, which celebrated her perceived exoticism, quite the opposite of the reception she had received dancing in American choruses. American expatriate novelist Ernest Hemingway called Baker "the most sensational woman anybody ever saw--or ever will." Baron Adolf de Meyer, a society and fashion photographer, took this playful portrait in the year of Baker's debut. Given the highly sexual nature of her stage persona, this portrait is charming and almost innocent; Baker's personality is suggested by her face rather than her famous body.

Students rally against using shark fins
UPDATED 6:24 PM CST Dec 20, 2013Zoo Academy members want state senators to be more proactive in keeping shark fin products out of Nebraska.
Video TranscriptNOW TO AN EFFORT TO BAN SHARK FIN PRODUCTS IN NEBRASKA. ZOO ACADEMY MEMBERS WANT STATE SENATORS TO BE MORE PROACTIVE IN KEEPING THE PRODUCTS OUT OF THE STATE. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S JOBETH DEVERA REPORTS FROM THE HENRY DOORLY ZOO AND AQUARIUM. (Pat Purkhiser - Lead Teacher, Zoo Academy--"sharks they're vicious and just out to kill people... that's what the general public might think") BUT ZOO ACADEMY STUDENTS HOPE TO CHANGE THAT WAY OF THINKING. THEY MET WITH NEBRASKA STATE SENATORS AT THE HENRY DOORLY ZOO FRIDAY. ALL IN AN EFFORT TO BAN WHAT'S CALLED SHARK FINNING. ("fishermen will pull up live sharks onto a boat cut off their fins then throw the live shark back into the water) SHARK FINNING KILLS TENS OF MILLIONS OF SHARKS EVERY YEAR. STATE SENATORS IN NEBRASKA KNOW THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING - EVEN IN A LAND-LOCKED STATE. (Sen. Jeremy Nordquist -7th Nebraska Legislative District -"the issue obviously is important. Our world needs to maintain its ecological balance and anything that we can do as a state --as I hope other states if there were issues affecting Nebraska-- would take action as well") EVEN IN OMAHA..SOME STORES SELL SHARK FIN SOUP.(Sen. Jeremy Nordquist "it seems like its a problem or sale that wouldn't take place in Nebraska but clearly it's happening here") SOME OF THE SOUPS - ONLY HAVE AN OUNCE OF SHARK MEAT IN IT.(jobeth Devera --"shark meat runs pretty cheap but it's the fins that are the most profitable part of the animal. It can fetch up to 400 dollars a pound")("it's all about money") (Pat Purkhiser - Lead Teacher, Zoo Academy--"shark fin soup is almost tasteless and nutrition-less, it's a status thing") THE ZOO ACADEMY JUST WANTS MORE DONE - TO PROTECT SHARKS.(Pat Purkhiser "just like the deer population or pheasants things like that and all animals..man kind is supposed to be regulate this") IN OMAHA, JOBETH DEVERA, KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. IF STATE SENATORS PROPOSE A SHARK FIN BILL.. AND IT PASSES.. NEBRASKA WOULD BE THE 9TH STATE TO OUTLAW

Civil Union Act should pass in CO House if not blocked by extremists, says Sen. Pat Steadman
Update below: Today, in all likelihood, SB 172, intended to legalize civil unions in Colorado, will be okayed by the state senate, following debate yesterday that warmed the heart of its sponsor, Senator Pat Steadman. Next, however, the bill must be approved by the Republican-controlled House, where he thinks it will pass, too -- but only if legislators who know it's the correct thing to do are brave enough to stand up for their convictions, he maintains.Pat Steadman.
"It was very gratifying yesterday to deliver such a compelling, persuasive and often emotional argument for something that's really a matter of basic civil rights and fairness," Steadman says. "And the fact that the opponents just got up there and whined about marriage and the family and some hypothetical threat to family values in the future I think really showed who has right on their side."
Among those critics was Senator Kevin Lundberg, who noted that in 2006, Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman and rejected a domestic partnerships measure. The implication? By approving the Civil Union Act, legislators would be defying the views of most Coloradans.
To that, Steadman responds, "They say you never step in the same river twice -- and I don't think you ever put a question before the same electorate twice. Colorado isn't the same as it was in November 2006. People have grown, people have learned. We've all had experiences with individuals in our own lives or seen the progress of this issue in other states across the country. Public opinion has rapidly evolved."A photo from One Colorado, which supports civil unions.
Given the tenor of the debate yesterday, will some House Republicans be afraid of coming across as biased if they oppose the bill? "If that's what they were worried about, they should be ashamed about what happened in the Senate Judiciary Committee a few weeks ago," Steadman replies, referencing a hearing that featured a woman who went on at length about how nature put a tight sphincter on the anus as a message to keep out.
"I don't think that bothers them," Steadman continues, pointing out that "I'm speaking to opponents generally. But political leaders of the House are, I think, very bothered by this. They're struggling between extremes in their party."
Indeed, he says, "I think you would be surprised at how many votes we would get if this came to the floor of the House. But I also think some people who might actually be in favor of this personally think politically it's too risky for them."
In his mind, then, the bill's biggest challenge may be simply getting it out of committee -- the stage prior to reaching the full Senate. Regarding this step, Steadman calls himself "cautiously optimistic... because I think courage is winning out."
Update, 12:45 p.m. March 24: As expected, the Civil Union Act passed the Colorado Senate today. Here's a release from the Washington, D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign commending the legislature for its actions. Immediately thereafter, page down to read SB 172 in its entirety, as well as to see a video and news release dating back to the bill's introduction from One Colorado, a civil-unions backer.
Human Rights Campaign release:
Colorado Senate Passes Civil Unions BillThe bill will next be considered by the House of Representatives
WASHINGTON --Today, The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, commends the Colorado Senate for passing a comprehensive civil unions bill. The legislation passed by a 23 to 12 vote, and now moves to the House of Representatives.
"Legislators in Colorado have taken an important action to advance equality for all Coloradans," said HRC President Joe Solmonese. "We call on the Colorado House to swiftly follow the Senate's lead on this crucial legislation."
SB 127, introduced by Senator Pat Steadman, would allow both same-sex and opposite-sex couples to enter into civil unions giving couples all of the rights, benefits, and obligations of marriage under state law, but would not allow same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses.
Currently, five states have laws providing an expansive form of state-level relationship recognition for same-sex couples, without offering marriage. California, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington provide same-sex couples with access to almost of all the state level benefits and responsibilities of marriage, through either civil unions or domestic partnerships. Earlier this year, the governors of Hawaii and Illinois signed into law civil unions bills. Couples in Illinois can begin applying for civil union licenses on June 1, 2011 and in Hawaii couples can begin applying on Jan. 1, 2012.
Same-sex couples do not receive federal rights and benefits in any state. For an electronic map showing relationship recognition in the states, please visit: www.HRC.org/State_Laws.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

Anchors Aweigh
This skirt is fabulous! The weight of the cotton/spandex fabric is just right to keep the skirt looking classy without wrinkling. The anchor motif is perfect for Spring and Summer. It would be wonderful if JG Hook would offer more fabric print choices in this same style of skirt; And I would love to see it in Talls. My daughters tend to be my fashion consultants, and when they actually want to borrow my clothes - I know I have hit the mark! My youngest daughter loves this skirt - so I would say this is definitely a 5-Star purchase!

I am wanting to sort by more than 4 parameters in a single schedule. Revit 2012 only has 4 options. Can more be added?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by jverdugt. See the answer in context.
Thanks for the reply. We were able to figure out a way to work around this to the accuracy we needed.
No. Any more info on what you are trying to do?
Just following up on Alfredo's post. Without more information it's impossible to make recommendations and/or suggestions.
Thanks for the reply. We were able to figure out a way to work around this to the accuracy we needed.
Hi, how did you solve this? We have the same problem.
We have a schedule listing window information, e.g. Window Type F01.
We sort our Schedule by:
Type Mark, then by:
SwingDirection, then by:
FireClass, then by:
And we need to add by:
But Revit has by default only 4 levels or sorting.
Any ideas how we can go about adding more sorting parameters?
I have accomplished this in the past by creating a Calculated Value that combined two of the fields for the purposes of establishing a sort order for our Light Fixture Schedule. I already had the top two "Sort Slots" used, so I had to combine LampWattage and LampQuantity (to be sorted in respective order) into a single sort. This is a rough summary of my scenario:
Name Type Units
LampWattage Parameter Watts
LampQuantity Parameter Integer
LampSort Calculated Value Number
The formula for LampSort is: =(LampWattage / 1 W) + (LampQuantity / 100)
The above formula will combine the two to produce a number such as 32.03 (32W, 3-Lamp) or 54.01 (54W,1-Lamp), which allows for proper sorting.
As for your specific situation, I would assume that your Parameters "SwingDirection", "FireClass", and "SoundClass" are all Text Parameters, correct?
It may still be possible to combine them using this method, but could you elaborate on your parameters a little bit, specifically, are there a large number of possible values for these parameters? I'm thinking there are aren't many possibilities for "SwingDirection", but what about the other two?
Great, that sounds like an idea!
You're right though, my parameters are texts.
Is it possible to combine two text strings to one?
Unfortunately, Revit is incapable of the simple task of combining text strings, which is responsible for the forehead-shaped damage to my desk.
My questions earlier about the number of possible values is important to this method - the more values, the more complicated it becomes. Example:
I want to combine BoxSize and BoxColor, which are both Text parameters. I would first have to create a Calculated Value for each of these that will convert the value to an Integer. Here is the formula for the respective Calculated Values:
BoxSizeSort = if(BoxSize = "Small", 1,if(BoxSize = "Medium", 2, 3))
BoxColorSort = if(BoxColor = "Blue", 1, if(BoxColor = "Green", 2, if(BoxColor = "Orange", 3, if(BoxColor = "Red", 4, 5)))
**The above formulas must include ALL possibilities, so if there are limitless options, then this is not possible.
Finally, a third Calculated Value is needed to combine the other two: BoxSort = BoxSizeSort + (BoxColorSort / 10)
Edit: Nevermind the above in the spoiler - I had forgotten that Revit does not allow a String to be used in a conditional statement... More
Ok, thank you for helping out!
Maybe the conversion to text may be too elaborate for this project.
How ever, the calculated value idea makes me think we will have to combine two parameters into one to simplify matters. Hope Autodesk will give us more control in future versions though.
Thank you for quick replies!
Unfortunately, with all of the parameters being Text, I believe that you will have to combine them outside the schedule. I'll post if think of any other possibilities...

Quotes of the Day: Ichiro and 'The Throw'
"It was going to take a perfect throw to get me. And it was a perfect throw."
--Terrence Long, the A's outfielder who ran from first to third on a single to Mariners' right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, on April 11, 2001.
"I didn't have to move my glove."
--David Bell, the Mariners third baseman, who caught the throw from Ichiro.
"Terrence was a pretty fast runner, but Ichiro just came up with a hose. It was his 'Here I am!' moment as an outfielder."
--Eric Chavez, the A's third baseman, and now Ichiro's teammate on the New York Yankees, watching from the dugout.
"The ball was hit right to me. Why did he run when I was going to throw him out?"
--Ichiro Suzuki, right fielder.
The quotes are all from Benjamin Hoffman's piece in today's New York Times, "A Throw that Made a Phenomenon: Rookie Ichiro Suzuki's perfect peg in 2001 made Baseball take notice."
I remember the throw (or The Throw) well. It's one of the most stunning I've seen. Not because of the distance—I've seen longer throws—but because there was almost no arc to it. It was a laser beam that seemed to defy gravity. It never had height; it just had sizzle.
You can see a clip of the throw on MLB.com. They show it a couple of times. Stick around for the last and best angle, the one that causes one announcer to say, "Wow," and color announcer Dave Valle to say, "...a strike down the middle, like David Bell was a catcher."
"Why did he run when I was going to throw him out?"
