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 Cassie!
Facts about Cassie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Cassie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cassie and Carrie are two special siblings. During the summer someone witnessed two babies being thrown out of a moving vehicle. They were brought immediately to Kitten Krazy, but it was evident they had some serious medical issues. They both had extreme infections in their eyes and were very ill. Our foster home coordinator took them home and nursed them back to health. Unfortunately Cassie had to loose an eye because of the severe infection. Carrie will always have weepy eyes as she grows. These two sisters love each other and are very sweet. They get along with other cats and dogs too. We are asking that they be adopted together.

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

Fire, I`m excited to here about your watermelon. I hope to have a vegetable garden next year, I feel lost not having one, but there is next year, atleast I had flowers for my little birds. I thougt for some reason you were just growing sqaush. Did you plant your butterfly bush yet? But It`s not quite Fall yet.I need to figure out whether or not to keep my feeders all year or not because I think I have A couple of anna hummers and I heard they stay all year, so I would have to possibly keep a heat lamp over the feeder,but I dont know if that means for my area or not. |

I have lots of white tile that is not smooth. Within a day or two of mopping the floor will look really dirty, like someone took a light brown crayon and rubbed all over it. In the heavy traffic areas this only takes a few hours. The only cleaners that work are clorox or pinesol with a lot of elbow grease. (Vinegar does not work at all). I havent tried norwex mops, these floors take so much effort now I cant imagine they would work.
Should I put some type of wax or sealer down? I have had tiles in mnay homes and it has never been this difficult to keep clean, even white. i also have cordless dyson that we use at least every other day. I am worried about slipping if I put something like wax down. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like you have a matt finish unsealed tile. When you drop water on the tile, does it absorb the liquid fast or does it sit on top? This will indicate whether tile has a sealed finish. Water will sit on top of a sealed surface. Sealing a porous tile does not usually make it slippery. |
they do not absorb the water, they have a shine to them, they are just so uneven on the surface that them seem to grab all dirt. |
I'm assuming we are talking about ceramic tile? If I had your problem, I would consider area rugs or runners for the heavily traveled pathways OR using a steam cleaner in place of the cleaning products. The steamer isn't going to keep the floors cleaner, but it is easier to use, IMO. Actually it might help keep the floor cleaner if the cleaning products you are now using are staying on the tile and are causing dirt to adhere to the tiles. The steamer uses only water, so there's nothing left behind. Get a good steamer, a canister model, not a steam mop. And be prepared to use it repeatedly at first to remove the cleaning product residue. It can take some work before you get the gunk out of the tiny crevices of the tile. I did this recently on a not-smooth tile floor belonging to a friend of mine. I kept going over one small area, changing out the steam cleaner's cloth (I use microfiber). I did an area that was 3 feet by 3 feet and I went through 3 cloths (microfiber) until no more dirt came off. |
I keep my bathroom tile floor clean with Rejuvenate Tile and Grout Cleaner. I found it at the hardware store. Works great on the tile but my grout is permanently stained gray. Whatever happens, Good Luck to you! |

I use a bleach cleaner on my white bathroom ,I wet area soap it up use brush,rinse good,its nice white just did mine.I was told once wash with like pinesol it has oils in it so tile grout doesnt dry out |
Another who suspects you have a build up of cleaners....get the floor really clean....rinse and rinse again and they should stay....unless you have a situation where paople have sticky stuff on their shoes. |
Alcohol/water (50/50) works great. Put some in a spray bottle. Spray floor and then use wet mop to mop the floors. No rinsing needed and no residue left on the floor. Floors dry fast too. |

Video: Mayor Ed Murray's response to helicopter crash
Like what you just read? Support high quality local journalism. Become a member of Crosscut today!
Posted Tue, Mar 18, 4:43 p.m.
I may be out of step with society (I am) but I was puzzled by the need for a press conference.
Now I am not AGAINST having a press conference if the Mayor wants one.
But it puzzled me; and I heard it. Mayor Murray did a credible job -- no criticism on that point.
But why?
Was the accident especially shocking?
The deaths were of course tragic, like every other vehicular accident which results in death. Alas, 2 deaths and a serious burn is not unusual.
Was there need for public reassurance?
Not really. I assumed without thinking that our fire, police. medical resources would respond well -- and I gather they did.
Was there any sense that the City had made an error of some kind? Which needed public attention?
The helicopter was private and taking off from private property. The City was not involved. Until the NTSB determines what happened, it is premature to even think about changing City codes.
So, without being callous, and of course I have sympathy, as we all should, for anyone personally connected to the dead or injured, why did the Mayor feel it necessary to hold a press conference?
I want to make it clear that I am not suggesting that the Mayor did anything inappropriate. Hardly. I am simply trying to understand our Seattle culture.

Trisomy 18
Trisomy 18
Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder in which a person has a third copy of material from chromosome 18, instead of the usual two copies.
Alternative Names
Edwards syndrome
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Trisomy 18 is a somewhat common syndrome. It is three times more common in girls than boys.
The syndrome occurs when there is extra material from chromosome 18. The extra material affects normal development.
- Clenched hands
- Crossed legs
- Feet with a rounded bottom (rocker-bottom feet)
- Low birth weight
- Low-set ears
- Mental delay
- Poorly developed fingernails
- Small head (microcephaly)
- Small jaw (micrognathia)
- Undescended testicle
- Unusual shaped chest (pectus carinatum)
Signs and tests
An exam during pregnancy may show an unusually large uterus and extra amniotic fluid. There may be an unusually small placenta when the baby is born.
A physical exam of the infant may show unusual fingerprint patterns. X-rays may show a short breast bone. Chromosome studies will show trisomy 18, partial trisomy, or translocation.
Other signs include:
- Hole, split, or cleft in the iris of the eye (coloboma)
- Separation between the left and right side of the abdominal muscle (diastasis recti)
- Umbilical hernia or inguinal hernia
There are often signs of congenital heart disease, such as:
- Atrial septal defect (ASD)
- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
Tests may also show kidney problems, including:
- Horseshoe kidney
- Hydronephrosis
- Polycystic kidney
Treatment of children with trisomy 18 is planned on a case-by-case basis. Which treatments are used depend on the patient's individual condition.
Support Groups
- Support Organization for Trisomy 18, 13 and Related Disorders (SOFT) -- www.trisomy.org
- Trisomy 18 Foundation -- www.trisomy18.org
- Hope For Trisomy 13 and 18 -- www.hopefortrisomy13and18.org
Expectations (prognosis)
Half of infants with this condition do not survive beyond the first week of life. Some children have survived to the teenage years, but with serious medical and developmental problems.
Complications depend on the specific defects and symptoms.
Calling your health care provider
Genetic counseling can help families understand the condition, the risks of inheriting it, and how to care for the patient.
Tests can be done during pregnancy to find out if the child has this syndrome.
Genetic testing is recommended for parents who have a child with this syndrome and who want to have more children.

3 Be gracious unto us, O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. |
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud. | 4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant. |

Warner's new film Chandni Chowk to China (or CC2C), a fusion of Chinese martial arts and Indian musicals (aptly called a "Kung Fu Curry" in the studio's press material) with a healthy dose of comedy, is the acknowledgement of the fact that Bollywood—like its American counterpart Hollywood—is slowly becoming a global phenomenon.
CC2C opens worldwide on Jan. 16 in 40 international markets, and on roughly 130 screens in the U.S. This will be the largest exposure for a Hindi-language, subtitled Bollywood film in the U.S.
"You do not have to drive one hour to see the film," the film's 38-year-old director Nikhil Advani says, referring to the fact that Bollywood films often play in rundown theatres, sometimes located far from where South Asian immigrants reside. "It will be playing at a multiplex near your home."
"Warner Bros. gave us a huge level of support," Advani adds. "No Indian production would have been able to undertake so many days of shooting in China and over the Great Wall. I think Warner Bros. will become an ambassador of Indian films."
India produces the largest number of films in the world. The country's popular commercial cinema, produced in its business capital Mumbai (previously known as Bombay and hence the word Bollywood), has always had a wide reach in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and other Asian countries. And with the growth of the South Asian Diaspora in the U.S. and U.K., Indian filmmakers are also realizing big potentials in those markets.
India's newly liberalized economy, with a population of 1.1 billion people and a large middle class that consumes goods and services, makes good business sense for American investments. So why should Hollywood be left behind?
Warner is the third studio—after Sony ( Saawariya, 2007) and Disney (animated feature Roadside Romeo, 2008)—to produce a Bollywood film. Both Sony's and Disney's experiments failed, in that the films were not critical and box-office successes. Warner has followed the same formula—a Hindi-language film, primarily aimed at Bollywood lovers in India and abroad, with the hope of crossing over into the larger North American markets.

The Chilean Avocado Importers Association's recent satellite media tour with celebrity chef Ingrid Hoffmann gained the association an audience of about 4 million consumers.
click image to zoomChilean Avocado Importers AssociationCelebrity chef Ingrid Hoffmann touted Chilean avocados in a recent satellite media tour for the holidays. The holiday-themed guest spots aired on 124 television and 21 radio segments, including Spanish-language media.
"Ingrid's culinary expertise, warm personality and genuine passion for Chilean Hass Avocados made her the perfect spokesperson to share seasonal holiday tips and recipes," said Maggie Bezart, the association's marketing director, in a news release. "The satellite media tour was also a natural extension of the family nutrition public service announcements that Ingrid recorded (in November), which we distributed to 400 Hispanic radio stations nationwide."
Hoffmann shared recipes keyed to the small plate trend, including "Yummy Avocado Sopita," "Avocado and Corn Tostaditas" and "Vuelve La Vida Shrimp Cocktail."
Recipes are available at www.chileanavocado.org. Hoffmann also recorded recipe demonstrations featuring Chilean for the association's YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/ChileanAvocado.
The Spanish-language public service announcements featuring Hoffmann are expected to run through the end of the Chilean avocado season, in March, said CAIA spokeswoman Sue Kennedy.

Mitsubishi Outlander Factory Orders
Posts: 9
My friend's friend's uncle works for GM. He says that if you don`t rush for a new car, usually you can negotiate with your dealer for a "factory order" which will take about 2-3 months to make the delivery. This sounds to be a future order which goes directly to the manufacturer. In this way you can get some more discounts.
I mentioned it to my dealer and they said they never heard about it. Anyone knows anything about it?

yeba Posts: 3I am in the same boat, I have been waiting for 3 months for my XLS 4WD Graphite Grey. I even the negotiated it to invoice price. Put down $1k down to secure the vehicle.
This is my first time doing a 'special order', dealer cant find my specs so he offered to order for me but would take 4-6 weeks. But now it's 3 months and dealer said the demand is high and orders are taking longer. Is this normal? SHould I start filing a complaint to Mitsu HQ? Also, is there like an order number we can track? Last time I called mitsu customer care, they have no clue about the dealer orders and they said only the dealer can know where the order is thru their 'field agent'.
Anyone have any insights on how this 'special orders' work? -
gary154 Posts: 5A week ago I bought ( right off the lot ) a black XLS 4WD with the luxury package and sun and sound package. I live in the Chicago area. The dealer I went to had several XLS AWD's to choose from; some with navigation, some without. Between the two local Mitsu dealers in my area, all color choices were available - black, silver, desert beige, red, aqua, navy and white. So, I guess I can understand your frustration when it seems some parts of the country have plenty of Outlanders available. If the options you have chosen for your Outlander are nothing out of the ordinary, I would seriously question Mitsu as to why you've had to wait so long.
smily157 Posts: 14I have never heard of being able to negotiate more when ordering a car, usually you can negotiate a LOT more when buying a car right off the lot. And as far as a dealer not having some, I know the feeling. I live in Salisbury Maryland, and the closest dealer to me is an hour a way, and then an hour and a half the opposite direction, and both of those only had like 5 outlanders each, if I was lucky. But I ended going to a dealer in Pennsylvania because it was 10 minutes from my mothers house, so I just bought one time when I came to see her, and this dealer, and the next 5 closest, all had between 20-35 outlanders on the lot, there was a huge selection by me going up there, it is just strange how the dealers work, go figure.

Very good
Quite a nice hotel; turned out to be a very good value.
Dining area for breakfast was a bit cramped.
Fast internet. Free and spacy parking. Safe environment. Convenient neighborhood with food store and 7-11.
Odor in room.
- clean room - pretty good breakfast - free parking - close to the airport and rent a car companies
Cheap and close to the LAX airport. Groceries are close by
Floor construction need to improve. Sound of walking guest on the next storey level was very disturbing.
The Continental breakfast & waffle maker! The staff were very helpful & kind. Shuttle bus to airport was punctual & quick!
The pillows were lumpy & the length was quite short.
Great location close to the airport, good breakfast and good facilities. Good place to stay if flying in or out.
Being close to airport was great, the rooms were spacious and well maintained, breakfast was OK nothing to rave about
The staff either didn't like their job or just over the whole thing of holiday makers, arrived reception was not the greatest, welcoming felt uncomfortable, nothing to do but hang around hotel, staff were not that for coming how to get around considering a bus right out the front door staff weren't wanting to engage in conversation
Close to Staples Center. Good breakfast choices. Clean, comfortable room. Good sized room with pullout couch.
Musky smell. Sink in same room as toilet and bath which slows down getting ready with 5 people.
Breakfast, proximity to highways
Immediate area, smell
The energy plugs were not working and I was not able to access the internet. But I only stayed one night, so for me it was not a problem.
The fact that the differencein price for a roomph with the spa tub was so much. When I booked the room I booked it for the spa tub...then I found out that it was not included in my room price. I was disappointed to say the least.
Arrived early in the morning and were welcomed to have some breakfast and check straight into our room. Kids went to sleep and I enjoyed hot shower. Super comfy bed.
The free airport shuttle was really hit and miss. Excellent at transport from hotel to airport but MIA from airport to hotel... But hey, it's free!
Free parking Free Wi-Fi Cleanliness
Small place for breakfast
The location was the only thing nice about the hotel and also that they provided a free shuttle service to the airport.
The rooms were much older than they look in the pictures. The cleanliness was an issue because the smell from the floor was like sitting inside a chimney. Our room could have have been cleaner but we threw old bandage and wrappers once we reached the room. The breakfast tables were not enough for the guests and some had to wait to be seated for a while.
Left my glasses in the room--they had fallen behind the bedside table..they found them and were great in communication to make sure I got them back! Great Service!!
The room was spacious, the car parking was okay. Breakfast was included in price, though was the same every day.
Worst pillows ever :) Had to take one from the couch and use it.
Complimentary breakfast included and free shuttle bus to and from airport.
The room smelt like cigarette smoke despite being non smoking.
If you're looking for a place to stay close to the airport that won't break the bank and won't give you any nasty surprises than you've found the right place. It's standard Best Western fare. Nothing fancy from the breakfast to the rooms and service but everything perfectly adequate. Clean, quietish and comfortable....
Our Flight was delayed so only spent 7 hours here. We were in need of a good sleep and got one. The staff were friendly and the transfers from and to the airport were good. Breakfast was limited but filling. Didn't get a chance to check out other facilities but they looked ok.
The staff were so cold, so unhelpful, and would never ever want to stay in that place again
Great location, clean rooms, nice safe parking
Staff could use some niceness classes
We enjoyed our first stay with you 5 years ago and the stays this time the room has every thing we need and the staff look after us and if we came again to the U.S.A I hope we can stay with you again.
I didn't not like the paper cups as I like to make myself a cup of hot chocolate but there was none with the tea &coffee

This was one of those meals that sorta came together and ended up "balancing" perfectly. I started out with chicken and pineapple in the slow cooker. Then as dinnertime drew closer, I decided that rice would be a nice complement, and found a side of the red cabbage apple slaw in the fridge! (How to Shred Cabbage here.)

Hi there!
DH and I are building a log style post and beam house this spring (with Pioneer Log Homes of BC). We have decided that we want wide plank solid hickory wood floors . We want the select or heirloom grade of hickory wood. The issue is, there are so many retailers online, how do you choose? I know that with hickory, samples aren't necessarily representative of the floor you'll get. I love the Carlisle heirloom hickory, and I'm willing to pay for it, but DH thinks that we can get a comparable product for less. Is that true? Can any of you recommend a retailer? I'd love to see pictures of your wide plank hickory floor! Also, if you can give me feedback on pre-finished vs site-finished wood flooring, that would be great. DH and I differ on that issue as well. Thank-you! |

I have had the Montana Cabin Hickory installed on our main floor for about 7 years now. It is a prefinished flooring, and has done very well with our granddogs nails. I have the 3 different widths of flooring,I am not sure of the grade, but it has alot of knot holes,it is not a Heirloom grade. If you research on this site(flooring Forum), other people have hightly recommended them. My husband and I both still say this was the best decision we made to improving our home. Mary |

Wireless Dose-Compliance Monitoring In Drug-Delivery Devices
Incorporating wireless technology into medical devices is about more than just keeping up with the hottest technology trends; the benefits are real and significant, especially with regard to monitoring and encouraging dose compliance in the pharmaceutical and medical realm. Prior to embarking on the development of a wireless-enabled drug-delivery device, however, it is crucial to know what, specifically, the benefits are, and exactly what kinds of challenges and design considerations must be taken into account.
Is Wi-Fi More Dangerous Than We Think?
A little known fact about the electronic devices we use is that the radio frequency electromagnetic fields they generate are classified as Class 2B Carcinogens by the World Health Organization. New analysis by researchers contends that children are particularly susceptible to this type of radiation.
Google Lobbies For 3.5 GHz Band To Provide Cheaper Wireless
With the intent of making alternative wireless services available, Google is lobbying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to open up the mostly vacant 3.5 GHz spectrum. Vast amounts of low-cost bandwidth could be available at a price that would undercut services from larger carriers. As prices for access to traditional wireless spectrums continue to soar, this alternative could be a boon for consumers.
The Advantages Of Millimeter Wave Transmission Systems Over Fiber Optics
Traditionally, wireless communication has been limited in its capacity to transport gigabit quantities of data due to bandwidth limitations set by the FCC, making fiber-optics a relevant alternative for communication systems. That all changed, however, with the opening of the 71 to 76 and the 81 the 86 GHz bands — referred to as the "E-Band" range of millimeter wave (MMW) frequencies. This article discusses the advantages that MMW communication systems have over their fiber-optic counterparts.
FCC Delays Airwaves Auction For Wireless Carriers To 2016
Some of the most attractive frequencies traditionally used for television have been slated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for auction to wireless companies. The complexity of the initiative has led to delays in the sale of what some call the "beach front property" of the radio frequency spectrum.

I did not bother removing the bone. The butter is fantastic. I agree that you could halve the recipe but I used it on grilled chicken another night and think it would be great on steak. A keeper.
I didn't do the ying/yang string thing. But the butter was amazing!!!!!!! Served with Herbed Pan Seared Polenta cakes. Super YUM!!!! I used half of the butter as other reviewers had and it was spot on! : )
This was delicious! Maybe the best salmon I ever made. I took the advice of the other cooks and cut the butter in half and I still had plenty left over. I was also afraid of so much horseradish so cut cut it down a bit, but then was a little disappointed that it didn't have enough kick. Next time I will use full amount of horseradish. This is my new go-to salmon recipe.
Grilled salmon steaks are always good. The butter recipe was also light and tasty, but agreed, if you cut the butter recipe in half, you'll be better portioned. Served with sauteed garlic & baby spinach.
This is a good and simple recipe. I used salmon fillets. The quantity of butter is way too much so reduce by half or use the leftovers as the other reviewer suggested.
The Horseradish Dill butter was Excellent! I served the salmon with asparagus and put the butter on both! DELISH! I've started putting it on my steaks too! Adds wonderful flavor to just about any vegetable, fish or meat!

I do this largely in response to a thoughtful e-mail from a Village News reader who – while he liked the idea of a STEM governor's school – feared the social consequences for young students graduating from that school at 16, 15 or even younger.
There is nothing to fear.
Each child is unique, of course, and parents are often in the best place to make the ultimate decision, but the evidence strongly suggests that highly-gifted youngsters do very well at college – and go on to do very well in life.
The research is not as extensive as one might wish, but there's enough of it to satisfy all but the most over-protective of parents. The folk wisdom about very young college students leading lonely, isolated lives turns out to be a folk story – and for logical reasons.
Let's go into that a little.
I studied Gifted Education in grad school, and had the good fortune to work with Dr. Carolyn Callahan, one of the nation's leading experts on the education of the gifted.
One thing I learned really stuck with me: There are two basic models of gifted education, and in America – not surprisingly – we use the model that is both less effective and more expensive.
The model preferred in most American school systems is the enrichment model. In essence, students are chosen based on a range of characteristics – many of them subjective. Those selected are put in classes with other gifted students and given a richer educational experience. They go on field trips, hear guest speakers, and do extra reading and projects.
In other words, they do more work – but they remain at grade level, or maybe a year ahead – graduating with their peers at the age of 18 or so.
It's a very comfortable system for some parents, teachers and school administrators.
Some parents get the satisfaction of having their kids "identified" as gifted, but get to keep them around until they are "college age."
Some teachers have the great good fortune of working with these bright, interested, generally well-behaved young people.
Some administrators get to brag about these remarkable students and include their high scores in the school's testing averages.
As though they had anything to do with a young person's being born brilliant.
But there are problems with enrichment. First, it's not good for really bright kids, because it doesn't challenge them. Doing more projects and going on more field trips makes school richer – but it doesn't challenge the intellect, and it certainly doesn't lead to the sort of competitive mindset these bright kids will need later in life. In fact, enrichment holds really smart kids back. They operate in low-gear, and often develop the attitude that learning is easy and that they can do anything.
There's another problem with enrichment. It often chooses the wrong kids. The subjective standards used to select for gifted programs give far too much weight to things like good classroom behavior; enthusiasm for school; turning in neat, timely homework; proper use of standard English, etc.
These are the behaviors of intelligent children from "nice families" – not necessarily the behavior of geniuses. Enrichment-based programs routinely over-select children of middle-class and upper-middle class families, especially those who are white or Asian. And since enrichment programs are mostly about doing extra work – rather than moving rapidly ahead to new challenges – wrongly-identified kids from prosperous, two-parent families are often able to keep up.
The alternative model, acceleration, focuses on a more objective criterion – the ability to learn hard things, fast. It recognizes that super-gifted kids are often restless in school, because they are bored. It also recognizes that extraordinary intelligence occurs randomly. A genius might as easily been born to a black or Hispanic family, or to a single mother, as to a well-to-do, two-parent family of European or Indian ancestry.
Further, when an accelerated program mid-identifies a student, the error is quickly detected, because the student can't keep up. Acceleration works because it actually looks for the one characteristic which most clearly identifies high intelligence – the ability to learn difficult material at an unusual rate.
But of course, in accelerated programs, successful students don't stay around very long. Once they have mastered high school material, they are – one way or another – off to college. Sometimes, this is done by shuttling them to a nearby campus. Ideally, the students matriculate at a major university, where they can work with experts in the disciplines in which the students most excel.
Teaching accelerated kids is harder on their teachers. Early departure for college can be sad for parents. Administrators suffer the loss of bragging rights.
But then, who is education for, anyway?

My name is Hope!
Facts about Hope
- Species: Chinchilla
- Color: Silver Or Gray
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female Hair: Unknown
Hope's Info...
Hope is a 6 yr old female chinchilla. She is very sweet and loves her human's attention. She also loves to have out of cage playtime where she can easily interact with her owner. She's a lovely, chunky lady who loves to run on her wheel.
Hope's adoption fee is $75 and includes a 3 month supply of food, hay, hay cubes, treats, wood chews, dust, a 75 page care binder and a fleece hammock.
If you are interested in giving Hope her furever home, please let us know!
Other Pets at Spoiled Rotten Chinchillas Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hope, a Jacksonville Chinchilla was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chinchilla for sale in Jacksonville, or seeking a Chinchilla from a breeder in Jacksonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville 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 Chinchilla breeders who help with Chinchilla rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jacksonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

We're renovating a 1700's farmhouse section of our house. We want to expose the stone on an interior wall, but it was plastered many, many years ago. It wasn't done well, as it is a very rough surface (over the stone). What's the best way to approach this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 0:06
Doing so will open up a very drafty, quirky(in a bad way) and dirty (inexhaustible source of dust and grit) surface that was not intended to be showcased. If the plaster needs to come off in part to get new plaster to bond (undo previous poor repairs), that's one thing. You have no idea what you may be getting into. Casey |
It used to be an exterior wall (in the 1700's), but an addition is on the other side of the wall. We took the stucco off the exterior last year and it's beautiful! We want to take the plaster off, repoint, and seal. We might do this around the fireplace, too. |

A friend recommended this book When my son was dying of terminal cancer. He's since passed away. I've never had a book make an impact on me like this one has. After I read it, my mind was instantly at ease. It was like a great load had been lifted from my shoulders. I highly recommend this book for anyone grieving from the loss of a loved one or friend. It was like a miracle worker for me.

The book, "90 Minutes in Heaven," and the present life of the author can cause people to know that there is a place for us to live when we leave this world -- if we choose to. I have given several copies of the book to whoever was interested in reading it. I HIghly Recommend it!

This true account of death and heaven is interesting and easily eradicates the fear of dying. What Don Piper went through to recover is amazing, as is his positive attitude and outlook. I enjoyed reading about his journey from life to death and back to life.

The truth is an elusive animal in late April around the NFL kingdom, a prized commodity few are motivated to share. Each year the posturing prior to the draft is rooted in deception, with the gamesmanship coming through leaked rumors meant to divert attention away from the real course of action.
That makes for a turbulent and blurry time. It's all in good fun for you, the league viewer and consumer, because the rumor business is what drives the draft, along with the stereotypical finger guns blazing image of a general manager fleecing his peers. Kevin Costner forever.
Two extra weeks have made the rumor mud slinging even longer and greasier this year, and we're about to enter the heart of it. The proverbial "how do you separate the signal from the noise?" isn't the right question here. No, instead go with this: is there a signal at all?
That question should come to mind immediately upon seeing the most sizzling of the smoking hot and highly-sourced rumors served upon this morning by Peter King. As the draft process has moved forward, increasingly it's looked like the right decision for the Houston Texans with their first overall pick is to either select Jadeveon Clowney, or trade down. General manager Rick Smith can address his quarterback need when he's first up again on Day 2 with his 33rd overall pick, and that's a far safer play with the uncertainty around the 2014 quarterback class, and with Clowney emerging as the best overall player.
Or is he? Insert diversion rumor here. From King…
Houston, at No. 1, isn't set on Jadeveon Clowney. In fact, one FORS (Friend of Rick Smith) told me the Texans general manager likes Khalil Mack over Clowney, and we still don't know which quarterback Houston would choose if it chooses one first overall.
First, let's give praise where it's due. Like Clowney, Khalil Mack is also scary fast and beastly off the edge, and he may even be a little better suited to play in Houston's 3-4, though that gap is indeed narrow. Mack had 19 tackles for a loss and 10.5 sacks during his final season at the University of Buffalo, also adding three interceptions to show he can be trusted in coverage.
But if taking an edge rusher is his end game with that first overall pick, calling any prospect not named Clowney feels like the sort of thing which gets a man fired quickly. The Scouting Combine offers an even playing field for all involved without inconsistent timing, and that's when Clowney posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.53. Mack's time was great too, but more normal for his position at 4.63, though he improved on it significantly during his Pro Day with a reported 4.54. That's terrific, but please remember Clowney has 15 more pounds to carry (his Combine weight, and the difference was closer to 25 during the 2013 college football season), yet he still posted his stupid fast time.
The Texans wouldn't be making a poor pick by selecting Mack. Not at all, as with his film, measurables, and numbers, he's easily being projected among the top 10, and quite possibly the top five. But with Clowney's length and versatility (he dropped back in coverage during his Pro Day just because) he's the far more generational specimen. If quarterback pressure and not an actual quarterback is the aim with the top pick, passing on him feels downright blasphemous.
Yet here we are discussing that possibility because of an FORS (Friend of Rick Smith, as King dutifully noted). It's the sort of late-April draft chatter which becomes many things, with fun chief among them due to the unquenchable thirst for items fresh off the piping hot stove. But mostly, it's a team saying "hey, we could do anything, and we may even take your guy…wanna trade?".
In 17 days the hearsay and speculation will mercifully end.

Clay Aikens RCA/19 Recordings album, On My Way Here debuts this week at #4 with 94,071 units sold this week. Released on May 6th, On My Way Here is Aikens fourth album, fourth Top 5 debut, and his first album of original songs since his 2003 chart topping, double platinum debut Measure of a Man.
The title track and first single from the album On My Way Here debuted at #1 on the AOL streaming chart the week of release, rocketed to #1 on the Amazon chart the week it was made available as a pre-release, and debuted at #1 on the Amazon download chart on release day.
Aiken debuted songs from his new album on a special QVC Presents QSessions Live event on Monday, April 28. Wal-Mart also released an exclusive, limited edition version of the album, which featured a different album cover and a bonus track Forget I Ever Knew You.
Aiken made television appearances on Good Morning America, The View, The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Insider, Extra!, E!, CNN, ABC Nightline, Fox News, and CBS News Path, all the week of release. Additionally, he appeared on AOL Sessions the week of release, and is scheduled to appear on Rachael Ray and Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 16th, and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on May 19th.
On My Way Here chronicles Aikens experiences over the past five years, ascending from the runner up on American Idol to pop superstar. The albums theme came to Aiken when he and his executive producer Jaymes Foster fell in love with a song co-written by Ryan Tedder called On My Way Here.
The message of the lyrics how the lessons we learn while growing up shape us into who we become as adults struck a very deep chord with the artist.

Having a herd of cows can cause you some worries, like when it doesn't rain, or when they climb through the fences and take up camping six miles away on the local golf course, or at any one of a million other times – but sometimes they sure give you a good laugh!
Our first time heifers have begun to calve and that is always a time of concern, in case one of them should have a difficult birth out there on the mountain, and we lose her or the calf. So I was not happy when Phil rode in the other day and said he had seen a heifer, number 808, who looked as if she had lost her calf, and, what was more, had not "cleaned out" – meaning that the afterbirth had not come out all the way, and was hanging around her hocks – a case for potential trouble. I sighed – for sure she would have to be herded into the corral, and given some treatment … and then there was the lost calf. Where was it? Had it been born dead, had something eaten it up? A nasty idea any way you cut it.
And so I was pleased when I heard that Barn Boss Sarah and guests Anita and Rachel, while out on a ride, had come across #808 and that they proposed to bring her into the corral for medicating. Sarah was riding a big mare called Sophie, a cross between a Quarter horse and a Percheron, big and stout and over 16 hands tall, the other two were similarly well mounted, and all three are good riders.
And I was doubly pleased when Sarah phoned me a bit later and said "Guess what! We found the calf!" And so it was. The cow, whom they found near Dead Calf Tank, just on the West Noonan side of the fence, had refused to move, kept circling back, finally rooted around in some bushes …. and flushed out the calf! Joy! – everyone was more than happy, and the girls began driving the pair towards the ranch.
Of course, things didn't go smoothly. The cow was definitely disgruntled and very much on the prod. She didn't want to move the calf, and she was sure that traveling all the way to the corrals was not something that was on her agenda for the day. Once through the gate to the East Noonan, in an effort to hide, she dived into a hollow below the dam, a place chock-a-block full of dead weeds and cockleburs – and Sarah had to go in after her. Immediately, of course, her mare, Sophie, got covered head to foot in the darn things, fetlocks, tail, mane, body – you name it. The cow kept ducking behind bushes, kept losing the calf, kept circling back, kept trying to charge the horses, and finally decided that enough was enough, and lunged at Sophie, slamming her in the chest. Now Sophie is a willing cow horse, but a 1,000 lb cow ramming her wasn't something that she had signed up for. She whirled in a 180 degree turn, jumping at the same time and unseating Sarah, who decided that, seeing she was close to the ground anyway, it was easier to let go than to claw her way up there again, and lit down among the cockleburs. The cow, sensing victory, now turned on Anita and her horse, but he, wise to the ways of cows, danced out of harm's way. Sarah caught up Sophie, climbed back on board, and, both of them looking like characters from a cartoon, bristling with cockleburs and twigs, gathered up the cow and calf and soldiered on. They struggled down the Stagecoach Road toward the ranch, with the cow ducking off into the wash, turning back, trying to charge them….. but finally, bit by bit they came close to the ranch gate.
About a quarter of a mile out the cow had had enough. The calf was tired, and she was cross, and she saw no earthly reason why she should go any further. She sulled up and stopped dead in her tracks. Sarah saw the gate beckoning and did her best to move things along, but the cow, now getting seriously discontented, suddenly lost what little was left of her patience, and charged at Sophie again – who, having by now a good dose of respect for that cow, whirled out of the way.
Just then Danny and Phil, having seen something of the commotion, came up on the Polaris to help, probably thinking that three women, after all …. what can they do, we'd best give a hand. Danny, who's pretty wise to the ways of cattle, brandished a big stick, and did so prudently from near a big mesquite bush, but Phil, stout of heart, remained in the open. The cow, seeing another adversary on the horizon, left Sarah and Sophie, swapped ends, and with a bawl lunged at Danny, who threw the stick at her and then nimbly ducked behind the tree.
Phil was made of sterner stuff – swishing around a stick of his own, he advanced on the cow, which, having disposed of Danny, now turned with murder in her heart and charged at him. Phil did his best, but those little red eyes and slobbering muzzle coming at him with the speed of sound did him in – he abandoned ideas of turning her, and instead he himself turned swiftly, pitched away the stick in order to be more limber, and legged it down the trail as fast as his long legs would carry him. He was a bit hampered in this, Sarah tells me, in that he had filled his pockets with rocks intended as weapons against the cow, and these were impeding his speed, but he built to it stoutly and vanished down the trail with the cow breathing down his neck and gaining by the second. He managed to reach the gate and vault through it with more agility than grace …. And the event was over. Sarah said she hadn't enjoyed cattle work so much ever in her life before…
Oh yes, and through all this exercise, the cow lost the afterbirth and, as the saying is, "cleaned out", so as of this moment, she and her calf are still out there, in the wrong pasture, but nobody is showing much enthusiasm in bringing them through the gate.
I wonder if that cow may be a descendant of a cow I once owned, who was an evil minded piece of work, born of an equally evil mother. She was nasty, even as a calf, and she was also what Gerry called "off color" meaning she wasn't black like the rest of the herd, but a sort of brindle gray. Consequently he wanted to sell her – but I liked her conformation, if not her temper, and I held out for her to be my ranch wages for the year. So we kept her – I called her My Blue Heifer and she lived with us for some 12 years, producing a calf every year …. but jumping fences, living free, terrorizing us at round up, putting many a good man up a fence …
I think we may have another such with us now!
