Littleton hosted a town hall meeting on the urban renewal process as part of its ongoing effort to counteract what the city sees as misinformation about urban renewal.
The meeting at Arapahoe Community College on Oct. 28 drew about 200 people. Residents were asked to give the city feedback on questions including their age, perception and knowledge of urban renewal, whether they had children in Littleton Public Schools, and whether they owned a business in town.
The Jeffco Board of Education will vote on two charter school applications at its meeting Thursday in Golden.
The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Jeffco Education Center, 1829 Denver West Drive, Building 27 in Golden. The board will meet for a study session in the boardroom at 5:30 p.m.
The school board is expected to vote on the applications from the Alexandria School of Innovation and Golden View Classical Academy.
By Stephanie Alderton, For the Courier
After a summer of superhero movies, fifth-graders at Stony Creek and Mortensen elementary schools learned to honor non-caped heroes through a national essay contest.
Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette resoundingly defeated GOP challenger Martin Walsh on Tuesday to win a 10th term representing Colorado's 1st Congressional District.
The race was called in favor of DeGette about an hour after the polls closed. She received 66 percent of the vote, or 161,557 of the ballots cast, compared to Walsh's 30 percent, or 72,795 votes, with 95 percent of the precincts reporting.
Incumbent state Sen. Andy Kerr pulled away from GOP challenger Tony Sanchez in District 22 in the final ballot count, winning by 1,047 votes in the Nov. 4 election.
In a South Jeffco district that was decidedly Democratic in the 2012 election, Kerr's lead over Sanchez fluctuated between 200 and 400 votes throughout election night. But last Wednesday morning, Kerr had begun to gain separation with an 801-vote lead.
South Jeffco voters rejected the Foothills Park and Recreation District's request for a 53 percent increase in property taxes.
The mill-levy increase was rejected by 54 percent of voters; 46 percent cast ballots in favor.
Foothills had sought the tax increase as a way to address the estimated $60 million in capital repairs needed for its parks and facillities. The 4-mill boost would have helped the district meet a projected budget shortfall due to increased costs and much-need infrastructure repair.
Republican Don Rosier's bid to win a second term on the Jeffco Board of County Commissioners was successful. Rosier captured 50 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Democratic challenger John Flerlage. Independent candidate Greg Standley had about 8 percent.
Rosier, a water resources engineer, won the seat in 2010 when he defeated incumbent Democrat Kathy Hartman. The Republican has focused on fiscal issues since first being elected and has been a critic of the county using reserve funds to balance the budget.
Jeffco voters overwhelmingly picked Jeff Shrader as the county's next sheriff.
Results showed the Republican Shrader with 73 percent of the vote over Libertarian candidate Brett Almy's 27 percent.
In the same fashion as last Tuesday's election, Shrader overwhelmingly captured the GOP nomination in June over Jim Shires, winning more than 60 percent of the primary vote.
The staff at Mortensen Elementary in South Jeffco staged a block party — literally — to celebrate Halloween on Friday.
Faculty and office personnel pieced together costumes from "The Lego Movie" and paraded around the school in a tradition that demonstrates the interlocking commitment the school has with its surrounding community.
Not every adult sported a costume with a giant Lego head, but all the big kids conjured characters, to the delight of their smaller counterparts.
The following are all-conferences selections in the 5A Jeffco League for the 2014 fall season in boys golf, boys soccer and softball:
BOYS GOLF, FIRST TEAM Grant Olinger, Pomona; Griffin Barela, Lakewood; Jack Castiglia, Lakewood; Alan Berry, Chatfield; Roy Carlsen, Ralston Valley; Marcus Tait, Columbine; Zach Gomez, Ralston Valley SECOND TEAM Michael Tait, Columbine; JJ Amato, Lakewood; Kevin Liao, Lakewood; Nick Medina, Ralston Valley; Evan Tooley, Columbine; Luke Stephenson, Ralston Valley; Ben Eisenbeis, A-West

While the Royal Society celebrates its 350th anniversary this year with well-planned pomp and glittering ceremony – not forgetting the gigantic models of flying dinosaurs tethered to the Royal Festival Hall – a rather younger academic collective is conducting its own, more modest trumpet-blowing campaign. Earlier this year, the Academy of Social Sciences held a one-day conference in Whitehall, entitled 'Making the case for the social sciences'.
There was standing room only as David Willetts – then an opposition MP but now Science Minister – applauded social scientists for their contribution to public policy, such as discovering that children who regularly see their grandparents have better life outcomes than those who don't. The gathering, which also saw contributions from elected politicians, peers, think-tank representatives, academics, policy-makers and journalists, was an attempt on the part of Professor Cary Cooper, the academy's Chair, to push this shy science out from the shadows and into the spotlight.
The momentum is continuing with regular conferences to flag up findings in different areas; one in July concentrated on ageing and, for example, highlighted evidence that staying active staves off dementia.
Failure to engage
This new strategy is a tacit admission that social scientists have largely failed in the field of public engagement. 'I think we have failed in the past to promote what social scientists really contribute to society,' admits Cooper, the Distinguished Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University. 'It's had no single body to systematically promote it. Sure, we've had the British Psychological Society and smaller organizations such as those, but we've had no unified front. So here we are, and we're the new kids on the block. Unlike the Royal Society, the Academy has only been around for a dozen years. The old organisations get money and premises but the social sciences are crucial to our future.'
The Academy of Social Sciences is now the matriarch of 38 learned societies – with the Association of Social Anthropologists, the British Society of Criminology and the Royal Town Planning Institute among her diverse brood – numbering 86,000 scientists, among them economists, psychologists, statisticians and linguists.
Capitalising on STEM
But, as well as the lack of a single champion, there has also been a lingering image problem. Professor Cooper says: 'For a long time, the social sciences have felt themselves to be a poor cousin of the other sciences. The government is obsessed with STEM (science, technology, engineering and medicine), and there's nothing wrong with that, because we need a strong science base in this country. But if you leave social science out of the picture, you can't capitalize on your other scientific findings.
'For example, take all the work being done on climate change. There's a lot being done on carbon emissions, but the crucial question is how you change people's attitudes and behaviour. You can have all the science in the world but if you can't get people to change their behaviour you don't get any benefits.'
He is at pains to point out he is not taking issue with STEM scientists for hogging the limelight: Do I want to talk the STEM subjects down? Absolutely not. It's not an 'us' against 'them' situation. But it's the social sciences that can tell us about people's attitudes and behaviour, and whether certain interventions work or not.' He is further sharpening up the Academy's act by encouraging it to respond swiftly to issues in the media, and to strengthen its advocacy of the social sciences.
Hitting the headlines
While he agrees that social scientists have sometimes been backward in coming forward, that also applies to other scientists, who sometimes feel uncomfortable in the public glare. But – as I know all too well as a former newspaper journalist - it actually tends to be social science research that hits the headlines, on issues such as parenting (does nursery damage children?), poverty (does the Child Trust Fund work?) and health behaviours (will taxing chocolate bars reduce consumption?).
Ageing, he says, is another major issue in which the social science dimension is often overlooked. First, the facts: looking a half-century ahead brings us to a frightening demographic vision filled with wrinkles, frailty and worse. By 2071, a quarter of the population is expected to be over 65. Among them will be around 9.5m over-80s. We also know that just under half of over-75s suffer some longstanding illness; with many, this will be dementia or some other type of neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Parkinson's.
Says Professor Cooper: 'The medical science tells us about the impact of ageing on the brain, so we can expect more dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases as the population ages. But social science tells us that the more active people are, the less likely they are to suffer dementia. So it's the social sciences that are going to help us here, by asking how are we going to encourage people to stay working longer, perhaps in less stressful jobs, or to volunteer, to keep them active and reduce dementia. It's the economists who have to calculate what dementia costs, and who will give us the cost-benefit analysis of getting older people to work longer. So here we have psychology, economics, sociology and statistics all working together on this issue.'
Defence needed
Mr Willetts, the famously cerebral politician whose intellect has earned him the nickname Two Brains, has warned that the UK's science base will not be immune from budget cuts. Professor Cooper realises that this makes it more crucial than ever for his colleagues to come together to champion and defend their contribution to public life. The new science minister, though, could be regarded as an ally, rather than a foe. He has a well-known fondness for the social sciences, and recently published an acclaimed book drawing on social science research. He has also confessed to liking New Scientist, not just for covering the usual exploding stars and fancy gizmos but for its serious treatment of the social sciences.
Finally, if Professor Cooper were given the chance to convince just one pubgoer of how social science fits into his everyday life, what would he say?
The bottom line
'I would say this: that we know what happens to kids early on, such as a bad home life or learning difficulties, affects their job prospects and mental health later on; that when people fall into debt, they become ill, and so we must try to protect the vulnerable when times are hard; and the way that human beings are managed at work, from shop floor to top floor, can be either damaging to their health or very motivating. We know, for example, that working long hours is not good for either people or UK plc, so why do we have the longest working hours in Europe? Why on earth do people pack themselves on to trains, in order to sit in offices and answer emails? Why don't managers trust people to work wherever it's convenient? People are stressed even before they come to work, and that's not even counting the cost of pollution and energy from daily commuting.
'I'm so proud of being a social scientist, and as an occupational health psychologist I know what social science has to offer. And it can dramatically affect the bottom line.'
As a reason for fiscally aware politicians and policymakers to engage with the social sciences, you can't get more compelling than that.

Two Bosses Enter: Readers push Black Knight through; Garfrost aims for Devourer {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2010 5:00PM Devourer also has Phantom Blast, which he basically casts continuously when he isn't doing something else. Except for the stomp at 66% & 33%, and Deep Freeze when he's below 33%, Garfrost only has the Saronite throw as an interrupt. The cast time on both Phantom Blast and Saronite Throw are two seconds, but the boulder would take time to fly, while the Phantom Blast would hit full on. That should give Devourer a big head start in piling on the damage.
As to Permafrost not impact living creatures, it does impact Undead players, who are as alive as Devourer of Souls. This could definitely be turned back on Forgemaster.
Two Bosses Enter: Readers push Black Knight through; Garfrost aims for Devourer {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2010 4:22PM Here's the problem: a good part of Garfrost's danger is the Permafrost stacks, but all Devourer of Souls needs to do is let the Permafrost stack up and cast Mirrored Soul on Garfrost. Both would bleed out quickly from the frost damage, but Devourer of Souls would just have to stay up long enough for Garfrost to go to an anvil, and then slap on Wailing Souls when Grafrost is occupied.
Keybindings and how to change them {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 6:04PM I've been using the arrow keys for movement since I started playing--no mouse, no numeric keypad. In fights, I was manually shift cast bars to grab needed but rarely cast spells, and moving my left hand all over the F-keys and the number keys slowed my reaction time and I sometimes cast the wrong spell when getting my hand back to 1-5. So I set up a completely different keybinding arrangement.
I set my entire set of attacks and other commonly used spells in a box on the following keys:
with the most commonly used spells on the center of that box, namely
That gives me 20 spells easily reachable with just my left hand, and without having to move my hand from the keyboard at all.
Less frequently used spells--long cooldowns, buffs, professions, and I cast rarely and never while moving, I set up in a similar square for my right hand.
I'm very happy with it. The catch was learning such a radical change. For a week, I just ran dailies until I had a basic feel for it, and then I started running normal and easy heroic instances, even though at the time I was in full T7.5 gear.
But two+ weeks later, when I went back in to a progression raid, I could really feel the difference in my ability to respond.

Justin and Harley operate a small printing shop on Amsterdam Ave in New York City. The two only take enough business to keep the facade of legitimacy in place, but their real business is the printing of counterfeit five- and ten-dollar bills. A business that is doing quite well until Harley is murdered in an Albany hotel and Justin is called in and held by the police. They, the cops, seemingly care less about Harley's murder and more about the counterfeit shop the two men operate.
When the police finally release Justin he discovers that they are not the only ones interested in the Amsterdam printing shop—Harley had some partners who want to know where the printing plates are, and they don't treat Justin any better than the upstate cops did. In fact, they don't seem to care much what happens to Justin so long as they get the plates.
"Don't Look Behind You" is a cleverly plotted story that takes you in one direction only to quickly and smoothly swerve into another, and then another. It opens with a raw slash of narrative:
"Just sit back and relax, now. Try to enjoy this; it's going to be the last story you ever read, or nearly the last. After you finish it you can sit there and stall awhile, you can find excuses to hang around your house, or your room, or your office, wherever you're reading this; but sooner or later you're going to have to get up and go out. That's where I'm waiting for you: outside. Or maybe closer than that. Maybe in this room."
It is told in first person with a twist—the narrator isn't necessarily who you think it is and the story doesn't necessarily lead you where you think it is going to lead you. The prose is spot on; re-read the passage above and if you don't want to read more you're crazy. But the best part of the story is its plot and the affect it has on the reader. The narrator speaks directly to the reader—not as an audience member, but as a principle character—and it has a chilling effect that made me shudder with bliss in the closing paragraphs.
"Don't Look Behind You" is a story that you should find and read. Maybe twice. I know that it was good enough that I need to find more of Mr Brown's work and read it. Hell, maybe hoard it.

[Updated 19:20BST] Grupo Modelo has filed a notice of arbitration against Anheuser-Busch in light of A-B's pending takeover by InBev.
The Mexico-based brewer, in which A-B holds a non-controlling 50% stake, confirmed today (16 October) that it has filed the notice, claiming the agreement between itself and A-B prohibits the transfer of A-B's stake to "a competitor in the beer business".
Modelo also claimed that the agreement does not allow A-B to transfer or dispose of its holding "without first giving the controlling shareholders of Grupo Modelo an opportunity to purchase the shares".
A-B said today that it believes there is "no merit to the claims".
It said: "After review of today's arbitration notice, A-B International Holdings continues to believe these claims are entirely without merit and it will vigorously contest such claims. A-B expects the arbitration will have no impact on the completion of the transaction with InBev."
InBev, meanwhile, has maintained throughout the takeover process that it has been holding talks with Modelo. Last month, a spokesperson said that the talks remained "ongoing".
The Belgium-based brewer today joined A-B in rejecting Modelo's claim, which it said was "entirely without merit". It said it still expected to complete the A-B acquisition by the end of the year.
The Mexican company, which owns the top imported beer brand into the US in Corona, has objected to InBev's US$52bn takeover of A-B since it was announced earlier this summer. In June, Modelo's CEO, Carlos Fernandez, quit his position on A-B's board, although no reason for the move was given.

26-29 November 2010 After climbing Mt. Apo, I came back to Davao after two weeks to conduct a team building and organizational development workshop among volunteers for the 3rd International Rondalla Festival in Tagum scheduled in February 2011. One night we had dinner at the local night market - particularly in the stall of Mang Dodong who allegedly cooks the most delicious native chicken barbecue in the city. Indeed, the barbecues were savory. I took some shots of the area. Then on the last week of November I climbed Mt. Bungkul Baka in Tarlac. During a few stops, I took a few shots using the same roll I used in Tagum.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by lakandula with a Lomography Supersampler (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Agfa CT Precisa 100 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in Tagum City + Mt.

Past lessons for Grades K-4
For Grades K-4 , week of Jan. 02, 2012
1. Flying Circles
There are many shapes in the world —squares, circles, triangles and more. Pick a shape you like. Then hunt through today's newspaper and cut out objects, pictures or images in that shape. Paste your cutouts on to stiff paper and then create an art mobile. Label each piece with a word that you think of when you see the shape.
Core/National Standard: Classifying common objects and substances according to observable attributes: color, size, shape, smell, hardness, texture, flexibility, length, weight, buoyancy, states of matter or magnetic properties.
2. Fannie Farmer
On January 7, 1896, teacher and author Fannie Farmer published "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book." Known today as "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook," it remains very popular. With a partner, look in this week's newspapers for an interesting recipe. Or find one as a class online. Using a table listing various weights and measures (you can usually find one in the back of a dictionary), figure out how much of each ingredient you would need if you were to make the recipe four times larger. Use the largest sensible unit to describe the amounts — for instance 1 gallon, instead of 4 quarts.
Core/National Standards: Analyzing problems, determining strategies for solving the problems and evaluating the adequacy of the solutions in the context of the problems; using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems.
3. Dumping No More
Mexico City wants to set the standard for reducing, reusing and recycling. In the past, Mexico's capital city dumped 12,600 tons of garbage each day, but that amount has been cut in half by the city's efforts to recycle. Three years ago, the city recycled only 6 percent of its garbage, but now residents recycle about 60 percent. The largest dump in the city, which has taken in more than 76 million tons of trash, closed recently, except for its recycling operation and a composting plant, which breaks down plant and vegetable materials naturally.

4. A Presidential Example
Getting vaccination shots is no fun! But there is one crucial vaccination that has changed the lives of children – the polio vaccine. It was introduced first in 1955 by Jonas Salk. A second type of vaccine was discovered by Albert Sabin, which was first given in 1962. Polio is a virus that spreads rapidly, affects the nervous system and can cause partial or total paralysis. One of our presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt, got polio when he was 39. He lost the use of his legs. Because of his experience, he founded an organization called the March of Dimes on January 3, 1938. The foundation helped raise a lot of money for research for a polio vaccination and to help families whose children suffered from the disease. Find a newspaper story about an organization that helps others. Or find an example online with your teacher. Write a paragraph telling what the article is about, in your own words.
Core/National Standard: Writing informative or explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
5. She Swallowed What?
In wacky news last month, a 76-year-old woman had a felt-tip pen removed from her intestines after accidentally swallowing it. The pen had been inside her for 25 years — and it still worked! She had gone to her doctor recently complaining of stomach pains. She said she had accidentally swallowed the pen when she was using it to help look at a spot on her tonsils. She slipped and fell, swallowing the pen. She told her husband about it, but he didn't believe her, and her doctor could not find the pen after testing her at the time. On her latest checkup, however, her doctor did a body scan and found the pen. Find an odd story in your newspaper. Using it as an example, make up your own wild story and share it with the class.
Core/National Standards: Writing narratives to develop real or imagined experiences using effective techniques.

So, I love you. I love you a lot. You're pretty amazing. And I miss you. A lot. You're like, this perfect guy, who makes my life light up, but I never see you, which sucks balls.
I think at this point I need to clarify that I love you - I'm not IN love with you. Lol. Believe me babe, been there done that. Now I'm living in Platonic Place and couldn't be happier. You were right, all I needed was to get laid. My life is now about 43 times better. Of course, your advice is awesome but the delivery is shit. You'll never make it in the theatre.
I wish I saw you more, cos you have this ability to make things in my life just kinda....fall into place somehow. Or at least, not seem like the huge deal it did at first.
I think my best memories are from doing the play we did. I never stopped laughing. At that point, you were EVERYTHING to me. So yes, I was a little obsessive, but that's ok :) You were fun, and hated Australia. You had no friends in this country, and I became not only a good friend, but your best friend. And I felt lucky. I think you felt lucky too - we'd both found a complimentary person to hang with and laugh at the wankers in class with. But things were a bit deeper than that... we just clicked. Strongly. I've NEVER clicked so quickly and profoundly with someone before. So that was pretty cool for me.
But I've barely seen you since then, and we went through a bit of a rough patch. But things are cool again. Soon you'll be going back to the UK for 5 months, and will finally reclaim what you used to have - happiness. You'll have all your friends again and will fit in. And Steve will be there. Please, TELL Steve you love him. Heterosexuals will always be heterosexuals, and in my experience, you should tell him. Because then you'll be able to move on. And babe, it isn't fair to Shane. Shane loves you....and you've already put him through some turmoil recently. We won't bring that up again though, understandably.
So anyway....just felt like getting some stuff off my chest. You don't need to read this...which is why it's here, and not sitting in your inbox. I just wanted the universe to know what I've been thinking recently.
Love you man.

The Restless Wind
All that will remain will be dust
on the futile crying wind.
We will all turn to dust
as our words crack and dry
blown far from our thoughts
by the always restless wind.
All we have is the dry cracked heat
and the empty silence of wind-blown words
that say nothing, as nothing can be said
now that the days are empty of all
but the heat and the dry dead wind
that never stops blowing our restless dust
across these plains that were once
the hills and green raining valleys
where we knew our ordinary lives.

An investigation is under way into an explosion that took place late on June 3 at Royal Dutch Shell PLC's Moerdijk petrochemical plant in the Netherlands.
The explosion and resulting fire occurred in a reactor of the MSPO-2 installation, which produces styrene monomer and propylene oxide, according to a series of releases from Shell Nederland Chemie BV on June 4.
The installation was temporarily out of service for routine maintenance at the time of the blast, but two employees suffered minor injuries as a result of the incident, the company said.
While the MSPO-2 installation will remain off line during the course of the investigation, other units at the Moerdijk continue to operate normally, Shell said.
Further details regarding the incident, including current production rates at the plant, were not disclosed.
With a 900,000-tonne/year ethylene production capacity, the Moerdijk plant also manufactures a range of base chemicals from the petroleum fractions naphtha, hydrowax, gas oil, and LPG from feedstock predominantly received via pipeline from Shell Nederland Raffinaderij BV's 400,000-b/d Pernis refinery in Rotterdam.

Ahh.. the weekend. This one is sweeter than normal as I'm now on school holidays and I can almost taste the cocktails I'll be indulging in on Hamilton Island.. but for now, what will I be up to?
Running, running, running. I'm updating my playlist as we speak and I'm about to head off and smash a 12km run.
Having a toddler free night, the first one in almost a year! I get to play dress up and actually wear heels, a nice dress and put on *special* makeup as we attend an engagement party tonight.
All the usual basics- groceries, washing, vacuuming... ugh. All the tedious boring things I despise but still need to be done as messiness stresses me out.
OK. Playlist is updated, now it's time to lace up those runners. What are you up to this weekend my lovelies?

Why Does My Dog (or Cat) Eat Grass?
By Jack Sommars
Benjamin Hart, DVM, PhD, who has studied animal behavior for almost 50 years, says that's one of the questions he hears most frequently from pet owners. Until recently, veterinarians like Hart could only speculate on the reason. Common theories included: The pet must be sick and needs to vomit. Or perhaps there is something wrong with his diet. But according to new research by Hart and his colleagues at the University of California–Davis, neither of these answers appears to be correct.
With support from the school's Center for Companion Animal Health, Hart studied 1,500 dogs that had eaten grass at least 10 times in the past year. They found that very few — about 9% — appeared to be ill before eating grass. And less than one in four vomited afterward. Diet or lack of fiber also had no effect on the dogs' desire to eat these leafy greens.
So if most of these dogs weren't sick, seldom vomited, and diet wasn't a factor, why were they eating grass?
"We believe it's a trait they inherited from their wild ancestors," Hart says. "We know that wolves and cougars eat grass. That's because they carry intestinal parasites. That's just part and parcel of being in nature. Wild animals don't have anything like the medicines we have for controlling worms. But by eating grass on a regular basis, they can prevent a buildup by purging their systems of these parasites."
Hart's study also revealed that younger dogs are more likely to eat grass than their adult counterparts.
17 Most Common Poisonous Plants Lilies Marijuana Sago Palm Tulip/Narcissus Bulbs Azalea/Rhododendron Oleander Castor Bean Cyclamen Kalanchoe Yew Amaryllis Autumn Crocus Chrysanthemum English Ivy Peace Lily (Mauna Loa Peace Lily) Pothos Schefflera
"This is also true in nature," he says. "Younger animals have weaker immune systems, and they need all the protein they can get in order to grow."
So should you ever be concerned when your dog eats grass?
"Don't allow your pet on a lawn that has recently been treated for pests or weeds," Hart advises. If you are concerned about anything your dog has eaten, you should contact your veterinarian immediately.
Hart says that pet owners should be alert to any changes in a pet's behavior, such as a sudden increase in grass eating.
"Keep in mind that 9% of the dogs we studied showed signs of illness before eating grass. This suggests that the dog is trying to medicate himself. Grass isn't bad when you're living in nature. But your veterinarian has far more effective medications to treat the problem."
But What About Cats?
Cats eat grass less often than dogs, Hart says, but they tend to eat a wider variety of plants. This can present problems, because cats are increasingly kept indoors where the only plants available may be houseplants, several of which are poisonous. The 17 most common poisonous plants are listed in the table.
If your cat likes to eat plants, Hart suggests putting out a homegrown or commercial grass garden.
"By having grass readily available, cats will tend to avoid the other plants and will be less likely to go after something that might be toxic," he says.
Common symptoms that might indicate plant poisoning are vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation and irritation of the lips.
If you suspect that your pet has eaten a poisonous plant, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline at (888) 426-4435.
Check out the ASPCA's website for more useful information about animal poison control.

Everyone's talking about London's young designer set — and the news is not good.
The media has been buzzing about the wave of familiar faces who will be missing from the front rows this season. Julie Gilhart, Ron Frasch, and Ken Downing won't be making it to London Fashion Week this season to represent major American department stores Barneys, Saks and Neiman Marcus, respectively. For Julie, a fervent supporter of London's emerging brands, it is the first time in 20 years that she won't be here.
These buyers have told the press that unless London's designers produce something very special or have strong existing relationships with US retailers, they will have a hard time making up for the spiralling effect that the strong pound has had on their prices once converted to American dollars.
It's a good thing that some designers (but not enough!) are thinking more about business than buzz. Danielle Scutt, a darling of Fashion East in past seasons, has decided not to show this time so she can focus on building her business by producing a lookbook designed to market her designs.
However, we don't believe enough designers are thinking this way. Just talk to Erin Mullaney, a former buyer of designer womenswear at Selfridges who is moving to Browns to become their Buying Director. She told WWD
"It's almost the end of January and I haven't had a single delivery through yet. For many British designers, it is a constant struggle with cash flow."
With the high prices that London designers have to charge, retailers expect impeccable service — reliablity, high quality, good communication, and on-time delivery. Many young designers have failed to put in the necessary processes and expertise to do this. And many don't have anywhere to turn.
This is why at The Business of Fashion, we wrote a Manifesto for Change In Iqons Magazine for a new approach to building the fashion businesses of the next generation; one that goes beyond the sporadic financial support, industry handouts and over-zealous use of their precious names that is the norm today.
Thank goodness the news is not all bad. Some relief may come in the form of the new front row – the faces of fashion's emerging markets whose economies are still growing at a rapid clip and who want to continue to support London's young design talent.
And, maybe London's young designers can take a page out of Tory Burch's book. She fashioned a business model first, before going on to build a business that is turning over more than $115m a year.

Temple Square Hospitality Helps VOAUT
Volunteers of America, Utah (VOAUT) held their first annual Silver Spurs Gala at Gardner Village in West Jordan this September and we had the amazing opportunity to provide all the beautiful decorations.
Some of our wonderful staff members here at Temple Square Hospitality Corporation (TSHC), located in The Joseph Smith Memorial Building, donated linens, chargers, containers for centerpieces and of course, their time and wonderful talents.
We were excited to be a part of such a wonderful event and we're completely honored to be featured in VOAUT's newsletter, "The Spirit Within" (featured below).
We feel very strongly that companies should support community events which make a positive difference in people's lives. This is how we can give a little something back. This is how we can stay united.

How Does One Pray When Dealing with Health Issues?
The Question
I have some health problems which reduce my mobility to the extent that salah (prayer) is not practical. Where can I find alternatives? I would like to pray but I do not wish to cause offense. I have researched online but cannot find any information.
One of my many health problems includes chronic sepsis, a serious condition that is not expected to heal. This means that I bleed from open wounds in my abdomen and pelvis. I have had this condition for over 10 years, and there is no sign of the bleeding slowing. I am concerned that this will compromise wudhu immediately. Also, I have lost my intestines through disease and therefore require a stoma (my intestine exits through the front of my stomach). Would this also compromise wudhu, and is there a practice that would not cause offense?
The Answer
Islam is a religion of mercy and compassion. It recognizes the plight of people, taking into consideration their abilities and weaknesses. One of the most important principles in Islamic law is "the Removal of Harm." A Qur'anic verse states, "And He (Allah) did not make any hardship for you in religion." In a hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Islam is ease."
In light of these major principles, your situation is considered seriously. While some scholars consider blood as impure, the stronger opinion is that it is not and that one can pray with it on their clothes, especially in the case of illness. In fact, if blood flow is due to illness then the opinion that it is impure is null since the person has no control over its flow. It is permissible based on the Maliki opinion that one who works around blood, such as a butcher, is exempt from this since keeping his clothes free of blood is impossible. The same applies to you, since it is not possible for you to keep it from yourself or your clothes.
As for your intestinal bag, it is out of your control. If you are able to keep it from spilling on yourself, or your clothes, then that is best. If not, then you can pray, but it is better to keep some clean garments that you pray with, if possible. This is based on the opinion that when one does not have control over something, he is not obligated by it. The axiom states, "There is no obligation in shari`ah in the face of real weakness."
If making wudhu will contribute to your illness, then you are exempted from it, according to the scholars of the Maliki rite, and should simply make dry ablution. If you cannot do either, as noted by al-Dasuqi (a well-respected scholar), then your intention for purity is enough and you can pray without it based on the Prophet's statement "Actions are by intentions" and the axiom "Goals are based on intent."
As for the prayer itself, it is not advisable for you to attend the masjid in such a state. Thus, you are permitted to pray at home, and if you are unable to stand, then you can pray sitting and if you cannot sit and pray, then you can pray lying down as best you can.
Finally, I would like to remind you that being sick has a number of blessings:
- Your sins are forgiven.
- Your stations are raised with Allah (subhana wa ta'ala – glory be unto Him).
We are here as your brothers and sisters in faith. We pray that Allah (swt) will cure you, and we ask that you remember us in your prayers.
Allah knows best.

jazhakallah khair for that. I was just in the masjid today, and the imam was just too fast for the older women in our group. ok, the imam can't see who's struggling to get up after the sajda… but i suppose that a 10 min surah and a bouncy sajda race are just too much for the older people trying to come for congregational prayer. I would love to see more of them in the masjid, the youngsters would behave differently. Is it just here or is there a huge void of old people in masjids everywhere else? -
This is so humbling, reading this persons question.
Us with health, pay such less heed to the precision of our actions whilst we pray, in the rush of our everyday… and here is a person, with so many things that stand in his way medically, yet his being yearns to find a way around it just to supplicate and attend to the call fardh upon us!
sub haan Allah!
Thank so very much for sharing…
Question: Is there a way to directly subscribe to your posts, into my email?

MRG403 | Release Date September 7, 2010
In honor of their Fall 2010 US tour/takeover, Let's Wrestle have generously offered up two brand new songs for digital download: "Getting Rest" and "When I Was In Hospital." Here's what the songsmiths have to say about 'em:
"'Getting Rest' is about our first trip to the states when we were completely unknown here (apart from NYC and Austin)," says Wesley Patrick Gonzalez. "Me and Mike Lightning went for a stroll in Baltimore and were being idiots, taking photos of ourselves doing Kung Fu moves, and a homeless guy asked us for a cigarette. He said, 'Welcome to Baltimore!' and Mike said he was welcome in London anytime. The man started crying and asked us to get him out of there. This song is about being ignorant to the messed-up stuff that goes on around you."
"'When I Was In Hospital' is a song I wrote when I started thinking about how I'd cope with being terminally ill," Wesley continued. "It's more about what I'd say to a friend than actually being ill myself. I'm afraid both of these songs are quite morbid, but get used to it! You are looking at the new Radiohead! Proggy sobbing!"

FWIW it is like fetching new packages, I can agree that dowloading whole qt or libreoffice can make someone sad, but it is just few megs compared to the rest of your weekly world update. -> You are introducing possibility to nicely fail without any simple resolution why for almost no benefit.

So, I bought a used Kel-Tec PF9 off my brother and after putting several magazines through it I have decided I hate the recoil of it. HATE it. I was using cheap, non +p ammo as well. Other than that the gun is well designed and very well off for what it was intended for.
Now, am I just being a silly about this? I shoot my CZ 75B in 40 all day long and the recoil I hardly notice from the guns weight. If I move over to a small frame .38 is the recoil going to be just as bad? Lets say in the LCR for example. I just found the recoil in the PF9 to be horrible making follow up shots wild.
And another down side to the kel-tec, it's not rated for +p ammo and with that in consideration I really don't want to be disabled by my own gun via a slide to the face.

I'm guessing all of you know more about electricity and wiring than I do, at least up until a few days ago. I've been surfing and reading about LED lights for the past week because I want to include some soft lighting for my next indoor fountain. Apparently, LED technology has really advanced in the last few years (I wouldn't know that if I hadn't read it). Anyway, you can get some really bright LEDs in almost any color, and their estimated lifespan (if installed correctly) is 100,000 hours. That's over 11 years, so it shouldn't matter if the wiring is permanently embedded in the tufa. I got 50 super bright LEDs from Ebay for less than $10. Add resistors, and a 12V power supply and the total cost should be less than $20. |
Follow-Up Postings:
rustinj, Wow! That's interesting! How are you embedding them? Got pics? This would be great for outdoor lanterns as well! Leigh |
Hi Leigh, I'm still trying to work out the details, but I'll take pics as I go. I'm not brave enough to try any outdoor wiring projects...too afraid I'll kill someone. There are sunrise/sunset switches you can rig to solar cells and an LED (if you want to spend the extra $$ and can figure out how to wire it). You could make a little solar powered circuit for each lamp, or take the shortcut and dissect some premade accent lamps :) The LEDs are waterproof. You just need to waterproof the connections and switches. |
Rustinj, Where did you get the wiring instructions? I was looking into this for some Halloween projects, and had trouble finding simple wiring instructions. I mean simple, not schematics. |
Dixiemom, I'm not sure what you mean...how am I actually connecting it, or what components are needed? As far as actually connecting it, I'm planning to use a soldering iron. The components I got: 12V DC converter (not sure, but I think they're called AC to DC transformers), LEDs, a switch, and some resistors. The power supply should be voltage regulated to prevent power fluxuations. The LEDs are 3mm at 8000 mcd. The actual wiring configuration and the resistors you need depend on the power supply voltage and the number of LEDs you plan to use. It gets complicated, but there are plenty of online tutorials to help you figure it out. I'd be happy to tell you more, but I'm not sure I can explain it as well as the people that actually understand this stuff :) |

Thanks for the LED links, I've been doing some research on this and will be in investigating further. I have been commissioned to make a few lighted garden lanterns using solar power. LEDs seem to be the way to go, but it is a bit complicted figuring out power controllers, voltage, etc. My biggest stumbling block has been finding solar panels (available in Canada) that look half decent. If cash was no object I would be doing exactly what you suggest, taking apart some of those solar lights on the market and re-wiring to make them work for my purpose. I hear eBay calling! BTW, had a peek at your website, great stuff! |
GardenChicken, Yeah, I think ebay is the best bet. You can get some ideas about the type of components you might need, such as sunrise/sunset switches, and solar panels here but at these prices it would still be cheaper to take apart premade lamps. If you search for "3mm LED" or "5mm LED" on ebay you'll get quite a few hits. Keep in mind that the brighter the LED you get the narrower the light beam...at least that's the trend I noticed. I guess you could focus it at some sort of reflective material to scatter the light. Let me know if you find any deals. |
Okay I found alot of info on one of my favorite Halloween websites. Wolfstone's Halloween Technology Roadmap. Check it out; |
Here is a link that might be useful: LEDS for dummies
Dixiesmom, Those sites were great...I think I saw them once and forgot to bookmark them. |

Tommyc over on the pond forum has led lights set up around his pond. The original post has disappeared but he provided this web site and said the led's from here are brighter than you can get in any store. He had a whole wiring diagram for using outside. I started doing one but want to make some kind of hypertufa mushroom, frog or something to put the lights into so they are not so obvious around the pond.Here is a small sample I did with just one light |
Here is a link that might be useful: led lights
Dian2, You can get really good deals buying them on Ebay. How do you plan on waterproofing the connections? I like the look of your single light reflecting off the plants!!! |
Thanks rustinj here is a pic of the wiring.I use wire nuts to join the two wires together and I silicone the base of the LED covering the soldered +/- prongs and even the resistor. Water will seep into electrical tape and cause the wiring to rust. The lights are now running up a piece of PVC pipe with a hole drilled into the cap for the light to poke through, so they are basically out of the elements per say. But I do not like the look of the pipes so I want to ,make frogs, or mushrooms to run the lights up and into. |
Dian2, Thanks for the info! I've been using hot glue over the connections. I've also used some heat shrink tubing, with hot glue over the ends. Good luck with the frogs and mushrooms...can't wait to see it. Justin |
Hi Simon, Thanks for the great information--much appreciated. But you have to watch out when you put your own commercial site on these forums. I think they become rather angry with that and will bounce you. But who knows how to interpret the rules . . . . In the future, you may want to keep it lowkey. :-) |
Simon, Thanks so much for sharing your professional knowledge with us--I'm going to save your instructions! Deb |
Hi Simon, Thanks for the tips and info! There are so many things these LEDs can be used for...I'm hooked. I'm sure you'll be forgiven for plugging your own site after suggesting Ebay, Radio Shack, and Walmart alternatives :) |

I do have a working prototype from a contact that made an RGB LED controller. It has 4 channels for RGB allowing 2 banks of 2 controls. I have made my own set of strip lights containing 15 leds, 5 red, 5 green, 5 blue using one of the channels. Its not easy designing from scratch, hence why I now purchase and sell direct from the manufacturers. Have a look at http://www.ponds-pumps-filters.co.uk/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=155&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=77 I have managed to see a set working and they would look really nice in the dark. Wets the appetite a little, let me know if you need any more advice. Regards, Simon |

Simon, I'll be really pleased if I can get 3 (2500Mcd 1.9v) yellow LEDs to run off of one AA battery... :) |
- Posted by simon_wells (My Page) on Tue, Apr 5, 05 at 4:16
GARDEN CHICKEN You have a small problem. I suggest using a PP3 9V type, it will last much longer and allow you to add extra leds if needed. To calculate the resistor: Vf = 1.9v (led voltage for led 1, 2 and 3) Rl = (Vs - Vf1 - Vf2 - Vf3) / If The leds, power and resistor can be connected in series, please see WIRING MULTIPLE LEDS IN SERIES SECTION using the link below. Just remember to connect the leds the right way around. Good Luck Simon |

Thanks Simon. Now my head hurts. :) |
- Posted by simon_wells (My Page) on Thu, Apr 7, 05 at 12:05
Just change the white for the three yellow and keep the original AA battery so that id does not cause charging problems. Dont worry, it wont go bang, well not too much ;) |
Heres My Original Post about the way I put the LED's outside. One winter outdoors and they are going strong. The Liquid Electrical tape is good to use to cover the exposed wire, and then wrap it in regular electrical tape. Also, If you use silicone around the bare wire, put it on a little at a time. The wet silicone has a tendency to do something to the resistor, maybe getting inside the plastic coating. Also make sure you overlap the crystal of the LED just a little so that water won't get inbetween the crystal and posts exiting the Crystal. Be careful on buying Super Bright LED's... Every package you see anywhere will say they are superbrights, inreality they aren't. I know the Superbright LED website are truly Super Bright. LED Pond Lights 2004 Here are the directions to making Pond Lights with SUPER BRIGHT LED's. These LED's are Super bright Literally. You can't get these LED's in any store. Some store clerks will tell you that they are super bright, but in the end, until you see these, you can't appreciate the intense brightness and pure color they emit. It's a very easy project and low cost. Super Bright LED's http://superbrightleds.com/ Resistors from Radio Shack Wire… I used Lamp wire. It doesn't have to be too heavy since its not using 110 volts. Soldering Iron Radio Shack 12volt Power Inverter (2.5 to 5 amp) Mine is 2.5 1" PVC Pipes and end caps used as the fixtures for the LED's to mounted in. Drill & Drill Bits for drilling holes for the LED lens to be mounted in. ASSEMBLY Directions --Solder the Resistor to the Longer prong from the LED. Solder the computer wire to that led… this is the positive side. Now solder a new Computer wire to the Negative prong of the LED. -- Make sure you wrap each prong with electrical tape separately so that they do not touch when you mount them. Better Yet USE LIQUID ELECTRICAL TAPE. -- Attach the lamp wire to the computer wire and attach them together by using the electrical twist caps. By using these caps you can easily take the LEDs off of the wire. -- Drill a hole in the PVC end cap from the side closer to the round top of the cap (or whatever angle you want it to shine onto). Use a 3/16 drill bit. It is smaller than the LED lens but you can widen the hole a little and then the LED will fit snugly into the hole by pressing the LED at the base into the whole with a small screw driver. If you use 7/32 the LED will fit easily but you will have to put super glue into hole to securely hold the LED in. If you glue it in, you won't be able to take the LED in the future. -- Drill a hole about 4 inches from the bottom of PVC tube. Place the wire through that hole. This is the hole that connects it to the power line that finally connects to power supply. Now using a hammer, gently put the PVC Tube into the ground where you want the Light to go. I didn't place the wire under the ground, I just laid it on the ground and allowed the plants to cover the wire. This gives me the opportunity to add lights or do any maintenance in the future easily. The plants hide the black lamp wire nicely. Finally press on the End Cap with the LED gently onto the PVC pipe. There is no need to glue that on. It fits on nicely. Now finally run the wire to where you locate the power supply. Make sure you place the positive terminal to the resistor side. This is a very low cost way of dramatically accenting your pond or anything at night. The lights are brilliant, and much nicer than those Malibu "Landing Lights" everyone uses. I hardly use any electricity, and I do monitor it daily. Below are pics that easily depict what I'm trying to describe here. |
Garden chick go get yourself a Radio Shack 12v ac power supply from Radio Shack. $12.99 #273-1662. The nine volt battery will only last a couple weeks. Use one resistor per lED and you can hook up 50 LED's forever. Not worth all the fussing about. This is easy stuff. Follow my directions, don't think, just do. Its that easy. 1/2 watt resistors won't get as hot as 1/4 resistors. I accidentally found this through a link. Good Idea about putting these LED's in Frogs and stuff. I'm going to put more LED's out shining OUT through the water falls. I had a spectacular show of colors with my frozen Water falls this past winter. |

Try these. Safe and anyone can use them. I've seen sets with 20 lights/100 watts for under $30US I'm throw away the plastic and installing these type in tufa Japanese lanterns |
Here is a link that might be useful: Safe easy to install lighting
I Think what most people don't understand with these special LED's is really "HOW BRIght these are". They are brighter than anything you've seen. You cannot look at these closeup, they will blind you. These are intense, and unique in everyway. Everyone asks me what I have. Even police have stopped by and asked me if I have some sort of laser alarm system. You can see these a half mile away. They look like little laser pinspots. |
They are bright!!! Here's a pic of my fountain...you can still see the LED light with bright room lights in the background. These aren't even the super bright versions. |

Hi Rustinj My computer is lit up like that. 15 LEDS in the case. I've disconnected 6 of them. It lights up my office by itself. I can do everything except read.:) Outside, however I try to emulate the warm glow of candles. I use thin strips of mylar that are basically unseen but the lightest breeze moves them around the bulbs making them 'flicker' like candles. |
Tufaenough, The mylar project sounds very interesting! Do you use different colored LEDs for that? Do you have any pics of it? Thanks, Justin |
- Posted by tufaenough (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 05 at 20:53
Justin I use a cheap Malibu low voltage systems with 7 and 11 watt bulbs not LEDs. As far as the mylar goes you just experiment. I put pieces in my Japanese lanterns above and behind the bulbs but the pieces are loose. Then hang thin strips like tinsel in front of the bulb. Any wind moves the bits of mylar and the light looks very much like a flickering candle. I can't get a picture of the flicker but I will try to post a picture of the inside of my lantern when I get my camera back. |

Thanks everyone for the information, and Tommyc & Simon, I have saved your instructions for a future project. I have been using solar panels with AA batteries to power my LED projects and it seems to be working wonderfully. I really like not having to hard wire stuff. It took me a few tries before I clued into just how bright different LEDs are. The first ones I got were pathetic, and I ended up using some 'mid-range' LEDs. They produce enough light to satisfy the look I'm trying to achieve. Still working on diffusing them somewhat to produce the most pleasing glow, apparently a small amount of silicon over the LED will do that. I also learned that 'yellow' LEDs don't necessarily produce 'yellow' light, but more amber. And that 'yellow' LEDS are actually clear. All very confusing, but once you figure it out it's like having insider information! LOL Must try David's trick of the mylar. Is it clear mylar or silver? Thanks again all! Most helpful bunch here. |
- Posted by tufaenough (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 05 at 11:04
GC I use the silver stuff for it's mirror qualities but clear might work. |
Here's a link to the pics from this winter of the LED's lighting up my pond. They sure beat Malibu lighting. You be the just and look at them in the Gallery. |

Very cool Tommyc, almost makes the sight of that snow bearable! LOL I really like using LEDs and think they have HUGE potential for use in tufa and outdoor lighting in general. ~GC |
Great info here. Has anyone tried fiber optics? I saw a site that had put them in faux rocks for a great night time effect. However for some reason a portion of my bookmarks went into cyber oblivion and they're gone. Would anyone have any info on this? Thanks. |

It sounds like this thread has touched on elements of my quandary. I'd like to replace the 10 to 20w bi-pin G4 base bulbs on my outdoor 12v Malibu-type system. Has anyone tried any of the LED light options that are out there? The web is filled with LED lights that fit the base I have and claim to fill the outdoor lighting needs for 12v systems. I considered using 1.6-2w warm white LEDs with my fixtures. The low heat and low power consumption are a plus, and the cost is great considering the lifespan. Has anybody tried this? It almost looks TOO easy so there has to be a snag. |

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 Lin!
Facts about Lin
- Breed: Pekingese
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Lin's Info...
I am purebred and up to date with shots.
Please allow us to introduce Lin and Ming, two gorgeous young Pekingese babies in search of a forever home. They were born 10-06-2012 and will be ready for their new forever homes just in time for Christmas! These babies were part of a group of dogs and puppies surrendered by a breeder when her husband had a heart attack. You will no doubt fall in love with these little balls of fluff! If interested in adopting, please submit an application using the link below. Although we do try to answer emails when we can, applications show a serious intent to adopt (without obligating you to do so) and they get first priority.
The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not meet he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
Other Pets at Beebe Humane Society's Desperate House Dogs (RI)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lin, a Greenville Pekingese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese for sale in Greenville, or seeking a Pekingese puppy from a breeder in Greenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greenville 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 Greenville 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!

Proximal means nearer to the center (trunk of the body) or to the point of attachment to the body. If another reference point is given, such as the heart, the proximal point of another organ or extremity is the point closest to the heart -- central rather than peripheral.
