Home Pregnancy Tests
The signs of pregnancy are all there. You're nauseous, you feel bloated and your breasts seem to have gone up a size overnight. You're pretty sure you're pregnant, but there's only one way to know for sure: take a home pregnancy test.
Take-Home Test
These tests can be very useful because they can tell you if you're pregnant in just minutes, with a urine sample taken any time of the day, fewer than two weeks after conception. Home pregnancy tests involve placing urine on a prepared chemical strip and waiting for one or two minutes for the strip to show the result. These tests check for a hormone that is produced in excess amounts during pregnancy known as human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG. hCG levels are normally low in non-pregnant woman. However, with pregnancy, your placenta produces large amounts of the hormone, causing higher amounts of hCG to be secreted in your urine.
Since hCG levels do not rise immediately, depending on how early you are in your pregnancy, a home pregnancy test can show a negative result even though you may actually be pregnant. Ideally, a home pregnancy test should be performed seven to ten days after missing your period in order to ensure a minimal amounts of false negative tests. Also it is important that you follow all the instructions correctly. If you had a negative test but tested yourself less than ten days after the first missed period, wait a few more days and try the test again. When done correctly, home pregnancy tests can be as accurate as urine tests done in a doctor's office or laboratory.
Advantages of Home Pregnancy Tests
Here are some of the advantages of home pregnancy tests:
- Home pregnancy tests are private
- Their results are virtually immediate
- Provide a very accurate diagnosis and early in pregnancy
- Can give you the opportunity to start taking good care of yourself during the first days of conception
Disadvantages of Home Pregnancy Tests
Here are some of the drawbacks of home pregnancy tests:
- They can be somewhat pricey. Also, since you're less likely to be confident in the results of the tests, you may be more apt to try and get a retest, thereby increasing the cost to you even more.
- If a test produces a false negative result (a negative result when you are actually pregnant), you may put off seeing a physician and taking the appropriate steps to take care of yourself.
When to Take a Pregnancy Test and Other Tips
Here are some tips to ensure that your home pregnancy test is as accurate as possible:
- Be sure to read the directions for the test completely before using it to make sure that you are using it correctly.
- If you are not using first morning urine, make sure that your urine has been in your bladder for four hours
- It is best to have a watch or an easy to read clock close by to that you can time the length of the test correctly. If you end up reading the test too early, or too late, you may end up skewing the results.
- If you are on any type of medication (e.g. fertility drug), read the package inserts before testing to see if your medications will affect the results.
- Make sure that all the equipment in the test are clean and never reuse them.
- Do not drink excessive amounts of water in order to increase the volume of urine as this can dilute the concentration of hCG and give a false negative result (i.e. negative test result when you are actually pregnant).
- While you are waiting, it is best to place the sample on a flat surface where it won't be disturbed or come into contact with extreme heat or cold.
- If you are performing a retest to confirm the results, it is best to wait a few days before trying the second test.
- Remember, home pregnancy tests are not designed to take the place of an examination by a doctor. You should always have a positive test confirmed by a physical exam and then proceed to a prenatal appointment.
Blood Pregnancy Test
An even more sensitive test can be performed by your doctor who can test the hCG levels in your blood. This test can detect pregnancy with virtually 100 percent accuracy as early as one week after conception, using just a few drops of blood. This test involves drawing blood from your arm and is more accurate than conventional home pregnancy tests because it can detect lower levels of hCG. A benefit of this test is that it can also be used to date the pregnancy by measuring the exact amount of hCG in the blood. hCG levels change predictably as pregnancy progresses, so hCG levels can be used to date the time of conception and determine the estimated date of birth. If your home pregnancy test is positive, be sure to make an appointment with your doctor right away who will be able to verify your pregnancy and begin your prenatal care.

Had the prime rib twice....once great and the next time it was only ok. I have to try the chicken fried steak next time.
As a former Palmer student and frequent down-towner, there is nothing bad about KC that isn't wrong with any other downtown breakfast place. My potatoes have never been burnt, and I have never heard the staff curse. I've been earing here for three years. It is a DINER, so the food is bound to be greasy, but nothing compared to a place like Taco Star, for instance. I've had everything on the menu. All the bad reviews must be from some really sophisticated eaters, because to a normal person who doesn't get fresh herbs for her food everynight, this place is good.
Great breakfast as well as one of the best burgers in town. The green chili is superb. A great local diner on the West side of town. Have been there numerous times, never been disappointed. Eager to try their BBQ.
Real easy rule to know if you should write "(BLANK) and I" or "(BLANK) and me": Think about how you would write or say it if it was just you -- if you would use "I", then use "(BLANK) and I" and if you would use "me", use "(BLANK) and me".
For example: I went to the mall = Joe and I went to the mall.
Another example: The water splashed on me = The water splashed on Joe and me.
When using "(BLANK) and I", the I always comes last. When using "(BLANK) and me" there is a little more flexibility regarding which comes first.
As the subject of a sentence, it would be "Egg and I" (as in, "the Egg and I went to dinner); if an object or following a preposition, it would be "Egg and me" (respectively, "You took the Egg and me to dinner" and "Give dinner to the Egg and me"). As the name of a restaurant, presumably the subject mode would be preferable (as in "The Egg and I gave our name to this restaurant" or "The name of this restaurant is The Egg and I"). Okay, well, you asked!
Should it be the egg and me? Just wondering the context for the name...drives me batty.
Just tried this restaurant for the first time. Great food, good prices, and exceptional customer service. We will definitely be repeat customers.
We arrived just before 6 am on Friday; there appeared to be just a single employee, who not only opened the door ten minutes late, she proceeded to seat just the first group of diners before disappearing into the back. No eye contact, no "I'll be right with you," nothing but silent contempt. Since she made it clear, on behalf of her business, that iHop cares nothing for our business, we left and won't ever go back.
It is as dirty and greasy a place as I have ever seen...and the food has been sitting out for hours before it is served, tough, cold, congealed...nasty
I won't go back until the place is cleaned. It is filthy with a layer of dust that's been accumulating for years. I wish the Health Dept would check it out.
This is not the place to go unless you are a FedEx pilot without a car to go somewhere good to eat...you never hear a local even mention this historically bad place to eat.
I wasn't keen on leaving a comment until I saw the negative ones which QUITE surprised me. Since I have tried so much on the menu I feel compelled to take a moment of my time to share my experiences. I find the food over all quite lovely and take coworkers all the time. Neither the drinks or the food are too pricey at all which makes it nice for lunch, dinner or just drinks after work. Not a lot on that area of town that I want to frequent so thank goodness for this restaurant/bar being here because there are many of us DoD contractors in the area... The wait staff is fine but just like any other place I have had the great and attentive serve us and the aloof bimbo paying all her attention to the military groups or single young men.... Nothing that would make me stay away though. The ambiance is priceless... always shocked it is not packed.... but again who wants to hang out after hours in this less than desirable area when you can go elsewhere in town? I will keep going back... and keep taking coworkers, friends and family. I KNOW it would be horrible to see it ever close... that is for sure.
If you didn't enjoy the food maybe you should not of gone back 3 times? My family and I have eaten there multiple times and the food has always been just what we expected and more. The service at Freddy's is on par and they are always quick to meet our needs. I'm sorry you have such an awful opinion about Freddy's hopefully it made you feel better to bash them on here.
Sounds yummy to me...the one near Baptist road is really good. Maybe they just don;t have the deep fryer turned up high enough at the Powers store.
Hands down, the crappiest chain restaurant on the Powers corridor. The Chicago dog is NOT a chicago dog. The fries suck. The burgers are visually similar to a Steak and Shake...however, these are NOT good. I actually like Steak and Shake and I legitimately wanted to like this place. This place is the overpriced crap food at at amusement parks and resort's. It just blows me away that people on the east side of town will fill a horrible restaurant on a Monday night with the absolute worst food in town. Hell, the plain hot dog is probably the worst hot dog I've ever had. The fries are also the most tasetless fries I've ever had. From my THREE visits...I'm thinking this may be the worst restaurant I've ever visited. But hey, it's hard to find a parking space....so maybe I'm just some hipster trying to look cool at Fredddy's. Not even a star from me.
If you ever visit the I-Hop on North Academy, besure you ask to sit in Bobby's section. He has such a great outlook. If you can't make up your mind he'll do a good job recommending what to eat. He is very prompt and curtious, what else can you ask from a server. Awesome customer service! When I go back I will sit in his section!
Heard good things about King's Chef and decided to pay a visit the other night. Had a burrito that was insanely bad. Overcooked eggs, burnt potatoes and spongy oily meat. It was truly fucking disgusting. 2 bites was all I could take. I told the waitress how bad it was and she "well, that's too fucking bad, huh?" Really? This is how staff speaks to customers?? This place truly does suck. It sucks in the worst way and I will never be back. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED.
For the money, probably the best sit-down breakfast place over here on the East side. Only open for breakfast and lunch, though. The Cimarron Hills neighborhood definitely doesn't have a better breakfast place in the area!
Interestingly enough, these chains seemed to exist in AZ as "The Good Egg" - the restaurants were almost identical. So, if you're ever eaten at "The Good Egg" chain, it's basically the same thing.
Expect standard breakfast food, prepared well - omelets, eggs, bacon; corned-beef hash - that type of thing. Decent (if weak) coffee. I see a wide range of people here from families with hordes of small children to seniors enjoying the chance to sip coffee and read the newspaper. The wait staff is very friendly and seem to go out of their way to accommodate everyone; going the extra mile to bring crying children crayons and coloring sheets, etc.
Nice little place!

Last night I had dinner with a couple of friends and we got to talking about creative methods of civil disobedience. One brought up this idea of taking the credit card offers we get and mailing back blank applications in the prepaid envelopes…except with a roof shingle to accompany each one. We thought it would be pretty amusing, with all the credit card companies having to pay the extra postage for the weight added on by the shingles…
On a related (but slightly more academic) note, on Tuesday, November 8, I went to one of the UC Faculty Research Award Academic Senate Faculty Research Lectures. (That's a mouthful!) The lecture was by Prof. Marcel Hénaff from the Literature Department (and also the Political Science Department), and it was titled "An Economy in Crisis – A Crisis of Civilization: Anthropological Perspectives on Money, Debt, and Time." Known for his engaging seminars and the potluck dinners he hosts with his graduate students, Prof. Hénaff gave a very interesting and, in many ways, all-encompassing lecture.
I say that because, trained in philosophy and anthropology, Hénaff began his talk by illustrating the equilibrium and reciprocity on which pre-modern societies rested (and I am talking about hunter-gatherer societies here). The ancient view on social life strove for cycles of give and take, of returning what was borrowed so that that cycle would be maintained. Hénaff argued that this equilibrium has been undermined, however, by the rise of a modern world in which economic powers and the dynamics of debt have come to shape present-day political economies. This has led to what Hénaff eloquently described as the "hostage taking of our liberty and capacity for change."
OK, I'm probably not doing his arguments justice here, but bear with me. What I got from the talk was essentially that today, with our economic crises and all this mounting debt, people are handling debts and credits in order to create profit, not just to maintain equilibrium. And whereas the logic of credit and debt originally worked upon the premise of a foreseeable "end point," now we are stuck in a cycle of permanent debt, in which that end point of being debt-free is postponed indefinitely. Within the system of modern capitalism, time relentlessly moves forward as our debts build up-one painful example being that two-thirds of students at university are accumulating the kind of debt that will take them 25 years to pay back. Ouch.
So, time may be money, but they certainly don't seem to be interested in fashioning a sense of equilibrium in our current society. With the absence of an end goal, how should we relate to time and money in modern society? How do we face the current situation of credit and (more significantly) debt? Hénaff left us with a final PowerPoint slide titled, "Where are we going?"-humorously (and a bit soberingly) left blank.
The talk was thought-provoking and incredibly well-attended-so much so that way too many of us had to stand at the back of the room. But, before the talk, I had a chance to talk with Prof. Hénaff, who greeted me with kisses on the cheeks, as he usually does. I told him that I was looking forward to his talk, and he asked me what I had been up to recently. I told him I was writing my dissertation-on gender construction and Japanese imperialism.
"And modernization, too," I added.
"Ah, yes," he responded. "That is always a good topic."
Indeed, Marcel. Indeed.

Congressman Jim Bridenstine to Visit UAC Housing at Ft. Sill
Congressman Jim Bridenstine was denied access to the facility housing Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) at Ft. Sill Oklahoma on July 1. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) manager of the facility told him the next opportunity to visit would be July 21.
HHS headquarters staff has indicated they now want to discuss a July 12 tour. The Congressman's letter responding to HHS is attached.
Congressman Bridenstine advised HHS that he will not only make the showcase visit on July 12, but he will also make unannounced visits. "Ordinary Americans have a right to know what is happening in these facilities, how the children are being treated, and what is being done to stop this human tragedy.
"The President has created this tragedy by failing to enforce border security. He is going to ask Congress for $2 billion tax payer dollars, not for border security but rather to expedite the process of illegal immigration.
"Human suffering is escalating because of the failure to enforce the law. The solution is to enforce the laws and stop illegal immigration."
In his letter to HHS, the Congressman requires transparency and access for himself as well as other Members of Congress, appropriate staff and media. He also requests a written response to the concerns expressed.
Please see the Congressman's letter to HHS. The public has a right to know how HHS is responding to their elected representatives.

Review: Muramasa: The Demon Blade {Joystiq}
Sep 14th 2009 8:28PM @Fun DMC: I haven't done anything particularly special. I'm playing on Shura difficulty, and I just visit every screen at least once (even the ones off the main path because they sometimes have houses or baskets w/ hidden items), and I never use smoke bombs to run from combat (though I do occasionally run through the rooms that don't force you to stop and fight the enemies inside). For Kisuke, I discovered how to use bronze mirrors better to cut down on backtracking. I finished at level 72 with Momohime and 63 with Kisuke using my above method. Additionally, even if you beat it very quickly, the first time through, you need to be approx level 90 (I'm told) to wield the final sword for the 3rd set of endings.
Review: Muramasa: The Demon Blade {Joystiq}
Sep 14th 2009 7:39PM It took me 13 hours to beat Momohime's story, and 10 hours to beat Kisuke's following that. Now, each of the other characters' bosses are open for each other to defeat, and I need to use the final swords of both characters on the final bosses to unlock a new boss and their next endings. Following that, I need to craft the final sword and fight the final boss again to view the 3rd and final ending.
That's going to take me at least 7 more hours to go through. 30 hours out of an action game. How much content do you need there to be to justify a purchase?

Overseas Taiwanese organizations express concern about backsliding of democracy in Taiwan
(Washington, D.C. – November 8th 2013) -- The undersigned overseas Taiwanese organizations hereby express our deep concern about recent developments in Taiwan. First, we wish to emphasize our roots in Taiwan, the land of our birth. We do live in Canada, Europe, Japan, Latin America and the United States, but we feel strongly about our homeland. Many of us worked hard to help Taiwan make the transition to democracy in the 1980s and 1990s.
Especially since Taiwan made such major progress towards a fully democratic system during the past 25 years, it is regrettable that the current administration of President Ma Ying-jeou has eroded Taiwan's democracy and freedoms with his pro-China policies. On the surface these policies may appear to bring about a reduction of tension, but in reality they are setting Taiwan up for a larger conflict when China's repressive designs for "unification" collide with the reality of Taiwan's democracy.
While this backsliding of freedom, democracy and human rights has been going on since the beginning of the Ma administration, we are particularly incensed about recent moves by the Ma government that show a distinct lack of respect for democracy, and a fundamental breach of the basic principles of separation of powers and checks and balances in a democracy.
These basic principles are enshrined in the current (ROC) Constitution in Taiwan. While we strongly believe that the Constitution needs to be amended to reflect the new reality that Taiwan is now a free, democratic and independent country, it is essential that the government abides by the Constitution that is presently in force. The actions of President Ma and his administration in attempting to remove Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng clearly violated those principles.
In addition, the extensive abuse of power and the rampant wiretapping by the Special Investigation Division of the Chief Prosecutor's Office also constitute a violation of the Constitution, in particular Article 12, which guarantees the individual's freedom of privacy of correspondence.
It is time for the Ma government to listen to the Taiwanese people, and to move towards policies and decisions that reflect the views of ordinary people, the men and women in the street. In particular this means:
- An end to the extraordinary powers vested in the Special Investigation Division of the Chief Prosecutor's Office. The Legislative Yuan should immediately pass legislation abolishing the SID,
- Taiwan needs judicial reform, completely removing political influence from the judiciary. The judicial branch needs to be completely independent from both the executive and legislative branch of government, so Taiwan can enjoy clear separation of powers, and
- Taiwan needs legislative reform so that legislators can truly represent their constituencies, and the legislature becomes an effective and efficient part of the system of governance. The legislative process needs to become a true give-and-take of political negotiations; all political opinions are shown respect and decisions are made on the basis of rational discussion.
As overseas Taiwanese we also fully endorse the joint statement issued by the 29 international scholars and writers, who expressed their concerns in a statement titled "Human rights, democracy threatened", published in the Taipei Times on October 14th 2013 and in Hanji in the Liberty Times on October 16th 2014.

Acer Aspire 3693WLMi review
Modern notebooks can be just as powerful as their desktop counterparts, so you can complete tough computing tasks on a PC that doesn't take over your entire desk.
However, many notebook users need to perform only simple tasks such as web surfing, touching up the odd digital photo and watching DVDs.
The Intel Celeron M 430 in this Acer notebook runs at a respectable 1.73GHz. It's not dual-core, so it won't speed through video- or image-editing tasks like the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors. It comes with 512MB of RAM, which is enough for day-to-day tasks. In our benchmarks, it performed similarly to many of the £700 notebooks we reviewed last year, and is quick enough for the kind of tasks most people do everyday.
This is the first notebook we've seen with Windows Vista Basic, which lacks the fancy 3D desktop and Media Center features of the Premium version. More importantly, it also misses out on the notebook-specific features found in Windows Mobility Center.
The Aspire's 80GB hard disk provides enough storage for most uses, but you'll fill it quickly if you hoard big media files. If you want to clear some space, you can use the DVD writer to archive files to disc. There are plenty of ports for getting data in and out of the notebook. Four USB ports should be enough to handle any standard peripherals, while the memory card reader supports most common formats. Unfortunately there's no FireWire port, so camcorder owners should ensure they can use USB instead.
The 15.4in widescreen display will do a good job of showing videos and other content. It's bright and has good contrast, plus a gloss finish to enhance the appearance of darker shades. Our colour wheel and greyscale tests didn't show up any major problems, so this notebook is fine for photo editing provided you don't open too many files at a time. A webcam above the screen means you can have video chats without a cumbersome clip-on camera. The built-in microphone and stereo speakers are fine for speech, but the speakers distort at their modest top volume.
Wefve used better keyboards than the Aspire's, which feels a little vague and spongy. It's fine for everyday use, but you may want to use an external keyboard for typing long documents. The touch pad is big and tracks accurately. It has decent buttons and a four-way scroll controller.
This notebook weighs a reasonably portable 2.8kg and is quite slim. Its battery lasted only two hours and 22 minutes, however, so it isn't suitable for regular mobile use. Even so, it's a great budget notebook with an impressive specification for the price, and no major compromises. Best of all, you get a great display and useful extras such as a webcam. It's a worthy winner of our Budget Buy award.

Digital Signage Systems
Dec 30, 2013 11:47 AM, By Bennett Liles
The Panasonic TH-55LFV50 is a 55in. LED-backlit LCD screen with 800cd/m2 brightness and an automatic cooling fan suited for 24-hour operation. The system delivers 1920x1080 resolution while offering serial, LAN (web browser) and IR control, and an external stereo speaker output. Inputs include HDMI, DVI-D (in/out), composite, component, and VGA. The 0.14in. bezel width makes it especially suitable for videowall applications. The normal power consumption of 320W drops to 0.5W in standby mode.
Another great videowall display is the PS5580 from Planar with its edge-lit LED backlight technology, 400-nit brightness and the capability to scale up to a 10x10 array. The 55in. unit can be fitted with an optional mounting system for tiling and slim mounting depth. It can accept DisplayPort, HDMI (two), VGA, and DVI video with control capability on RS-232, LAN, IR, and keypad. Running on 130W, the screen produces a brightness of 400cd/m² and the monitor weighs in at 46lbs.
Prysm has released its next-generation Laser Phosphor Display (LPT) products with the debut of the TD2 Tile. The 25in. diagonal, zero-bezel unit has a standard resolution of 320x240 while the enhanced mode provides 427x320. The LPT display uses an ultraviolet, solid-state laser scanning the surface of the screen to excite the phosphor array and create the image. Prysm LPD videowalls can scale to sizes more than 100ft. wide while maintaining image uniformity over the entire display area.
The smallest media player from Rise Display has an Intel Dual Core processor, 4GB RAM, and a 32GB solid-state drive. The Preconfigured Media Player already has the Rise Vision Player in it so all that is needed to get it going is to enter a display ID. The standard operating system is Linux (Ubuntu), but Windows 7 can be installed as an option. In addition to its Ethernet port, the player has three USB 2.0 ports and two HDMI connectors.
For all-weather indoor or outdoor digital signage displays, Samsung has a solution in the OL46B large-format display with its 1,500cd/m² brightness and water/dust-proof design. The 46in. diagonal display provides 1920x1080 resolution, and it can connect to RGB, DVI-D, or DisplayPort video. Its internal speakers allow audio content to be heard in outdoor environments, and the Smart Scheduling feature automatically selects on/off, input source, and volume level on a date and time plan.
The PN-E802 high-definition, LED-backlit LCD display from Sharp shows its 1920x1080 resolution over an 80in. screen with 450cd/m2 brightness while projecting sound from its 7W per channel stereo audio system. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation in portrait or landscape orientations, the monitor has a fanless architecture, and it can be fitted with an optional interface board to add a LAN port and expand its selection of input signal formats. The unit comes standard with RS-232 serial control port, VGA, and HDMI video inputs.
While the displays are getting bigger, media players have shrunk while adding features. As an example, Shuttle designed the DS47 fanless media player with dual gigabit LAN interfaces, RS-232/422/485 control, USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, and dual video outputs with HDMI and DVI. With a body thickness of less than 40mm, the player uses only 65W power, fits a VESA mount, and operates quietly. It is equipped with an Intel high-performance Celeron Dual Core processor and built for 24/7 operation.

Full Question:
I would like to find a Doctor in New York City or New Jersey that specializes in Hemiplegic Migraines. Thank You, Mary.
Dear Mary;
Although there are doctors who specialize in treating Migraine, we don't know of any who specialize specifically in hemiplegic Migraine. Your best option is to locate specialists in that area, then call their offices and ask about their work with hemiplegic Migraine. Most likely, any of the doctors on our listing would be qualified....

Doosan Portable Power names Red Hat Rentals as authorized dealer for light construction equipment
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On May 13, 2010 @ 9:36 am In Industry,Press Releases | No Comments
Doosan Portable Power has named Red Hat Rentals of Fairfield, Texas, an authorized retail dealer of its line of light construction equipment.
Red Hat Rentals, a full-service rental company of equipment for construction contractors and homeowners, has previously offered Ingersoll Rand-branded lighting systems and light compaction equipment on a rental basis; however, this expanded agreement allows Red Hat to sell its line of light towers, rammers and walk-behind compactors.
"We are changing our business model to offer equipment sales along with rental," says Andy Jones, owner of Red Hat Rentals, in a press statement. "We are very excited about our new 30,000-square-foot facility in Palestine, which will be our main contractor store with more storage and showroom space."
Rita Moore, director of sales of North America for Doosan Portable Power, says the organization is "pleased to add Red Hat Rentals to our retail dealer network and will fully support them as they expand their business in Texas."

text: Kiss of the Spider Woman (Portuguese: O Beijo da Mulher Aranha) is a 1985 American-Brazilian film which tells the story of two men in an Argentine prison during the 1970s military government — one a political prisoner, the other in prison for his homosexuality — who learn to respect each other. It stars William Hurt, Raúl Juliá and Sonia Braga, among others like José Lewgoy, Nuno Leal Maia, Fernando Torres and Miguel Falabella in minor roles. The movie was adapted by Leonard Schrader from the Manuel Puig novel El Beso de la Mujer Araña and it was directed by Hector Babenco. The story is a "movie within a movie," featuring Hurt episodically telling Juliá the plot of the movie "Kiss of the Spider Woman" made in Germany during the Second World War, sc. by the Nazis. Unlike most such internal presentations, it doesn't matter how the "movie within the movie" ends; the plot is what happens to the prisoners. William Hurt won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role, and the film was also nominated for Best Director, Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. A musical with the same title, also based on Puig's novel, was written by John Kander and Fred Ebb with book by Terrence McNally. It opened on Broadway on May 3, 1993, played 904 performances, and initially starred Brent Carver, Anthony Crivello and Broadway legend Chita Rivera. A second New York cast, featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Howard McGillin and Vanessa Williams was also well-received. |

French WoW ads starring Alexandre Astier {WoW}
Dec 6th 2008 5:07AM May I suggest it's you ? :)
This ad is hilarious. Like the others.
But, of course, a complete understanding of all its fun requires knowledge of what makes Alexandre Astier famous in France.
I, as a french, know these people and what they do/did, so I can appreciate (and I do) the previous WoW ads.
A person who'd see a heap of vulgar black muscles, not THE Mr. T, would "meh" and go away. Seeing a random old man swearing about his satanic mental illness is not interesting.
But it's Ozzy talking, big difference.
This one is about a french actor. So lots of people won't know him. That's sad because he's really good. But the ad matches perfectly the others. Plus, his personal style is all about a "fun/serious" paradox.
If people don't get the fun of it, THEY are to "blame".
I don't know these german dudes, my conclusion is = I lack german music culture. Not = this ad is shit. That would somehow be, hm ... pretentious blindness ;)
BigRedKitty: Crab, Cat, and Serpent {WoW}
Oct 6th 2008 10:19AM Cool video as ever. But what if we had hunter's columns speaking of class mechanics, news, buffs & nerfs ?
According to you, hunters in wotlk are going to have fancy pets. They're beautiful. And it seems like, with fancy pets, devs can do whatever they want on our talents trees and spells. We stay focused on the shiny pets. Ooooh, it purred at me, how cute.
I could play pokemons with my hunter already. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about survival being assraped, and mana issues, and that "useless" new spell, and how changes are coherent or not, and how hunters will compete in arenas, and how the spec changes will make us wanted in raids or not, and how "utility" classes have their dps boosted and so how "dps" classes may have upped utilities, and will hunters compete, while their traps are quite useless in raids, and how stuff will be sooo cool then, or will it be made for shamans and hunters are screwed ... All these things, topics, and chitchat when an Xpac is about to launch with massive changes.
And pets, too, don't get me wrong. I did play pokemons, I did love my shiny pets. And I'll do more as possibilities have expanded. And I'm glad, for examples, to see that gorillas are quite shiny AND useful.
But hopefully, any given pet is here to support its master, the hunter himself. The dude supposed to shoot arrows and lay traps and do big damages while mashing his macro, then /taunt at the casters.
So what about that hunter dude ? Is he well ? We only hear about his pets nowadays.
I'd rather have these "weekly trends on pets" articles when the game is out and we can effectively go and tame a new one every time you promote it on video.

Researchers capture bacterial infection on film
27 July 2009
BBSRC-funded researchers have developed a new technique that allows them to make a movie of bacteria infecting their living host.
Whilst most studies of bacterial infection are done after the death of the infected organism, this system developed by scientists at the University of Bath and University of Exeter is the first to follow the progress of infection in real-time with living organisms.
This video contains no audio - Video and audio help
The researchers used developing fruit fly embryos as a model organism, injecting fluorescently tagged bacteria into the embryos and observing their interaction with the insect's immune system using time-lapse confocal microscopy.
The researchers can also tag individual bacterial proteins to follow their movement and determine their specific roles in the infection process.
The scientists are hoping to use this system in the future with human pathogens such as Listeria and Trypanosomes. By observing how these bacteria interact with the immune system, researchers will gain a better understanding of how they cause an infection and could eventually lead to better antibacterial treatments.
Dr Will Wood, Research Fellow in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, explained: "Cells often behave very differently once they have been taken out of their natural environment and cultured in a petri dish.
"In the body, immune surveillance cells such as hemocytes (or macrophages in vertebrates) are exposed to a battery of signals from different sources. The cells integrate these signals and react to them accordingly.
"Once these cells are removed from this complex environment and cultured in a petri dish these signals are lost. Therefore it is really important to study whole organisms to fully understand how bacteria interact with their host."
Dr Nick Waterfield, co-author on the study and Research Officer at the University of Bath, said: "To be able to film the microscopic battle between single bacterial cells and immune cells in a whole animal and in real time is astounding.
"It will ultimately allow us to properly understand the dynamic nature of the infection process."
Professor Richard Ffrench-Constant, Professor of Molecular Natural History at the University of Exeter, added: "For the first time this allows us to actually examine infection in real time in a real animal – it's a major advance!"
The study, published in PLoS Pathogens, was funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

Pretty simple, yes? By now it should be clear how to find these values given what we already know. We'll start by finding c using the trusty Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = r^2
2^2 + 3^2 = r^2
4 + 9 = r^2
13 = r^2
√13 = r
So there's one of our two coordinates. Let's find the value of the angle θ now, shall we? Seems the easiest way, or at least the way that involves all integers, is to find the arctangent of 2/3. Plunking tan^-1(2/3) into our trusty calculator in radian mode, we see that the arctangent of 2/3 is approximately 0.59 radians, which coverts nicely to 33.69°, so our polar coordinates would be expressed (√13,33.69°). Thus:
Now, converting from polar coordinates to cartesian coordinates is pretty simple too, and I won't go through the process of proving these formulae, but here they are:
x=r cosθ
y=r sinθ
Let's work it out given our same problem from above.x=√13 cos(.59)We rounded that angle to the nearest hundredth, so our answer is a little off, but plugging that in a calculator does give us approximately 3. Similarly,
y=√13 sin(.59)
Yields a decimal that's pretty close to 2. So - our calculations were a success!
That's all for now - soon we begin writing about pre-calc, so stay tuned for that.

Fledgling aviators can begin their aeronautical journeys at Lawrence and Marlboro Airports, which serve as home bases for services that range from tours and photography flights to full pilot-certification courses and agricultural applications. The team commands a fleet of six Robinson helicopters, including one R44 and five R22s, and keeps Robinson factory-trained mechanics on staff to ensure their safe operation and to ice down their blades after particularly vigorous training flights.
Housed within the antiquated Amos Blanchard House and Barn Museum, the Andover Historical Society preserves artifacts and archival records from Andover's storied 350-year history. Within the more-than-100-year-old building, visitors can experience what it was like to live as a middle-class family in the early 19th century or peruse the vast library archives. The society also hosts events within the community, including the seasonal Tree Time display and lectures on the town's history.
A maze of megalithic chambers and hallways made by man more than 4,000 years ago nestles into the snow- or moss-covered woods at America?s Stonehenge. Guests meander along a trail, marveling at one of the oldest constructions in the United States, complete with inscriptions, eating areas, and evidence of prehistoric art classes. Explorers delve into Stonehenge's history, learning about its use as an accurately aligned astronomical calendar, its role in the Underground Railroad, and the theories about who actually built it. Nearby, eight fuzz balls graze in the alpaca habitat, offering up skeins of yarn spun from their fluffy locks. Winter months coat the site's 105 sprawling acres with crunchy layers of snow, perfect for adventurous snowshoe outings or piggybacking on a snowman.
After devoting years to protecting precious pictures and keepsakes from environmental harm, the Middlesex Framing crew has amassed an inventory of highly protective materials. Acid-free matting keeps photographs and certificates from deteriorating over time, UV-protection glass guards against sunlight's discoloring rays, and museum glass deters bandits who somehow made it across the living room's laser alarm grid. Partnering with Larson-Juhl, the crew is able to access more than 1,500 molding samples and matting combinations—ensuring that each piece is both protected and enhanced by its border.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Speedy receiver Garrett Johnson of Florida considers himself a "playmaker" who is convinced he can continue to make plays at Kentucky.
"I like to get the ball on a 5-yard hitch (pass) and turn it into an even bigger gain. I am an electric player," said Johnson, who verbally committed last week to sign with UK in February. "I like to make people miss, but I can take a hit, too.
"I used to play running back, so I know how to find holes in defenses. I can get yards on my own. I think all that comes with playing. I have always been able to catch the ball pretty good, but I am far from perfect. I still work to get better and better. But I can make plays."
The 5-10, 170-pound Johnson, a three-star player, had other scholarship offers from Arizona, Boston College, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Marshall, Northwestern, South Florida and Vanderbilt. Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Miami (Fla.), North Carolina, North Carolina State and UCF also were recruiting him.
As a sophomore, he caught 58 passes for 1,014 yards (17.5 yards per catch) and 11 scores. He played both receiver and cornerback as a junior when he caught 49 passes for 685 yards and seven scores. He also ran for about 200 yards and two scores on 21 carries.
Johnson turned head when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds at the Florida State camp in June, but did not have a scholarship offer from the Seminoles or Florida when he committed to Kentucky.
"It feels a lot better to me knowing I am committed to Kentucky," Johnson said. "When I came up there and got to see the practice field, indoor facility and stadium, and meet the whole coaching staff, I was sold."
He was particularly impressed, and has been, with UK running backs coach Chad Scott.
"Seeing him in person again and kind of checking out the way they do things was good. Also getting to talk to the head coach (Mark Stoops) was really good," Johnson said. "I know Coach (Stoops) is about defense, but he noticed me and after camp he said he thought I could play both inside and outside receiver. He had a lot of recruits at camp, but he told me I was definitely one that impressed him."
Because of his relationship with Scott, he had planned to visit UK. Plus, freshman receiver Jeff Badet is a long-time friend and has spent the last two months on campus getting ready for his freshman season.
"I think I will fit in the offense very well. My high school team runs the spread, an open attack," Johnson said. "I knew about Kentucky before they started recruiting me, but not much in depth about the team. That's why I wanted to check out everything.
"I talked to a lot of schools, but when I talked to Kentucky they just stood out the most mainly because of the offense and my bond with coach Scott. That is why Kentucky won me over."
He says "just talking" to Scott was refreshing during the recruiting process.
"We always had good things to talk about whether it was football or life or what I was doing," Johnson said. "Just things like that he cared about. I could connect and bond with him. It seems like I have been talking to him a lot longer than I have. He is a cool guy. He was telling me what it is like to play in that offense and what it is like to play at Kentucky since he played there. That gave me more insight into what goes on at Kentucky."
He felt much the same way about many of UK's other 2014 verbal commitments he met during the July camp at UK.
"I could kind of see what those other players brought to the table. I got to meet quarterback Drew Barker and throw with him. I think he is a great player. He can really sling it. We have the pieces for a good offense in our class that really intrigued me," Johnson, who may run track in the spring to help his speed, said.
* * *
Johnson will join us on WLAP (WLAP.com) Sunday at 9:30 a.m. to talk about his recruitment.

Parents, schools and mental health professionals have become increasingly aware that bullying is a pervasive problem and that its negative effects on the bully, the victim and the school atmosphere are considerable. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 50% of children are bullied and l0% are victims of bullying on a regular basis. A number of children and adolescents have reported that they suffered side effects of bullying - a drop in grades, an increase in anxiety, a loss of social life.
Two studies that corroborate these reports that bullying can cause emotional as well as physical harm were published in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology¹ in 2005 , In one study, the researchers found that kids who were victimized were physically sick (headaches and stomachaches) more often and had were absent from school more often than their peers. Results of another study involving almost 2,000 sixth-graders of primarily low income families, showed that victims of bullying experienced more depression and physical illness, missed more school and experienced more depression and physical illness than their peers. In addition, their school performance tended to be poorer. The specific bullying acts reported in these studies were name-calling and physical aggression such as kicking and shoving. Bullying also comes in other forms – it can be a physically aggressive attack or a psychologically aggressive attack such as social isolation, exclusion or nonselection.
These studies add to the growing signs that schools and parents need to take more action to counteract bullying.
Talk About Teasing and Bullying with Your Kids
Be a role model that conveys an attitude of respect for all persons. Talk about teasing and bullying with your kids. Watch for bullying and teasing occurring in television programs, books and movies, and encourage discussions with leading questions such as "How do you think that person felt? What else could have been done?"
Take action. Parents may not intervene in situations because they believe that children will learn to work things out by themselves. Kids can't always do that, especially when the bully is older, stronger, and more powerful. Let your children know adults can help them in these situations.
If your child is a victim:
- Assure your child that he or she is not to blame.
- Don't encourage bullying victims to fight back physically; instead suggest that they walk away to avoid the bully, pair up with a buddy, or that they seek help from an adult.
- Help your child practice how to react the next time he or she is bullied.
If you think your child is a bully:
- Make it clear that you will not tolerate bullying behavior.
- Discuss possible reasons for bullying behavior.
- Arrange for a non-violent consequence of bullying behavior.
- Confer with your child's teacher and other school staff and increase supervision of his/her activities.
Teach assertiveness and build confidence in your child's ability to handle difficult situations.
Keep computers in a family room, and monitor your child's internet activities. Bullying can take form of vicious text messages, hateful rumors posted in chat rooms, on bulletin boards and on blogs.
Work with the school to make sure each child is safe, that bullies are reprimanded in an appropriate manner, that monitoring at school is adequate and steps are taken to spread anti-bullying messages. Children should not be expected to handle bullies on their own.
Recommendations for schools
School administrators should be encouraged to create a climate in which students themselves understand the importance of coming forward and warning of impending violence. Strategies designed to combat bullying, such as peer mediation, conflict resolution, anger management and zero tolerance programs that are being implemented in some schools should be encouraged.

Welcome to Forever Clean 9!
This website is dedicated to the industry-leading weight management program, Clean 9 by Forever Living. We are still working to get everything up and running here. Feel free to look around and please also visit our blog Aloe Very Much to learn more about Clean 9 and other great products from Forever Living.
Getting Fit Isn't Just About Looks
We are often told that it is wrong to judge others by the way they look, but most of us are acutely aware that our appearance is a determining factor in social status, professional success, and relationships. Being fit is not just about vanity; your physical condition tells people whether you are healthy, industrious, and able to carry out personal and professional duties.
Carrying excess weight is not just bad for your health and life expectancy, it can really hurt your finances. Obesity increases your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and other conditions that require regular medication, doctor visits, and expensive tests and treatments. The good news is that even if you have been overweight for many years, reducing caloric intake and starting a healthier lifestyle can still make a big difference.

Lately there have been some good discussions on the nature of New Testament apocalyptic and how such an apocalyptic orientation should inform Christian theology. One of the points of tension involves the propensity of apocalyptic language to become merely a discourse of rupture and irruption, of pure negation rather than as the moment of God's No being uttered within the overarching melodies of God's Yes. Perhaps one way to address this potential problematic is to redefine the locus of the conversation. Too often these discussions about the apocalyptic nature of the Messianic events of resurrection and Pentecost end up becoming discussions about sin, nature, and grace. How deeply has sin affected creation? Does grace destroy and recreate nature, or does grace perfect nature, merely purging it of the privation of sin? These questions make for interesting discussion, which must continue to be pursued, but they also rarely have much resolution, even between people who are clearly both searching for a way to express their fundamental affinity within their theological-linguistic disagreements.
Here I would like to offer a suggestion for another way of discussing the matter. Instead of trying to figure out how thoroughly sin has pervaded creation and thus how deep of an apocalypse we need to address the problem, I submit that we should instead be thinking primarily of how to best describe the apocalyptic visions of divine glory, and the attending doxology that it evokes from the people of God. Thus, our talk about the divine apocalypse should be formulated more in terms of the irreducible radiance of the trinitarian glory, of God's inexhaustible beauty, which is unveiled in Christ (getting back to the etymology of apocalypse). In other words, what we need is to avoid some sort of anthropocentric way of deploying the language of apocalypse in which we become fixated on the way in which nature as we know it is ruptured by God in Christ. Our focus must not be on the rupture in itself, but rather on the infinite koinonial and doxological plenitude that is unleashed through what we experience as the rupture of God's trinitarian invasion of the world in Christ and the Spirit.
This would not be to back off from the radicality of the language of apocalypse, but to simply be more biblical and to give proper credence the Johannine along with the Pauline. The most explicitly apocalyptic texts of the New Testament seem to be intentionally directing our attention away from the catastrophic collision of the powers of evil with the infinite love of the triune God, aligning our vision instead simply towards the visio dei itself. Here there is a helpful connection to the work of David Bentley Hart, who as it turns out, may be an apocalyptic theologian of sorts himself. His vision of the infinite beauty of the triune God who frees us from the "veil of the sublime" is precisely what we see in the un-veiling that takes place in what we talk about as the divine apocalypse. The subliminity of a broken creation gives way to the inexhaustible beauty of the trinitarian luminescence of divine love. Thus, in beholding God's apocalypse in Christ and the Spirit, our vision does not, indeed cannot, ultimately focus on the cataclysmic battle between Christ and Antichrist, between life and death. Rather, our eyes are constantly drawn away from the penultimate battle towards the truly compelling visage of trinitarian beauty. Ultimately our eyes can only focus on the enveloping, inexhaustible, unsurpassable glory of the triune God. The divine apocalypse, in which the forces of Antichrist, Babylon, and Satan assail the Lamb and his people must ultimately and at every point direct our vision toward beholding the glory of the throne of God and of the Lamb. The battle between Christ and Antichrist occurs as but a moment in the eschatological symphony of Alpha and Omega. The battle of the Logos (Balthasar) is ultimately only seen as the the prelude to great transformation: death is swallowed up in victory (1 Cor 15:54 cf. Isa 25:8).

Not to sound like a broken record, but have I mentioned that I love Downtown LA? As you may recall I talked about why I love this city so much on this post HERE. Ive been finding one too many excuses to run out of my office down the street to grab some coffee, which usually leads to a shopping excursion at the new Acne store.
Ever since i've gone lighter with my hair color (these photos were taken before I went blonde), I find myself wearing a whole lot of black. There's nothing sleeker than a body conscious ribbed mock neck paired with the slimmest of black skinnys , and of course sky high black pointy pumps. Sometimes its the basics that create the strongest outfits.
Thank you to all of you that left me a comment yesterday on tips & recommendations for my Paris trip! I've jotted down majority of them in my journal, and can't wait to share my parisian journey with you guys.
I hope you all have an amazing day!

Do you ever wonder about the story behind some of the dogs you see on our website? The ones who go from being adoptable to "Adoption Pending" to "I Went Home!"? If so, read on to find out the "inside story" on King, Ina, and Koa!
This year, an email went out to the leaders of a number of dog rescue groups about a sad situation involving German Shepherd Dogs in Connecticut. Could any of us help? The only response from a group saying that they could help came from GSRNE. We were the only hope for the following dogs and though we knew they would be project dogs and a lot of work, we couldn't turn our backs on them.
Last year, some German Shepherd Dogs (as well as a few other breeds) had been confiscated by the authorities during a drug raid in New England. When the authorities arrived and checked out the property, they were greeted by around 7 dogs and some puppies! But what a sad sight: all of the dogs were chained to filthy boxes ("dog houses") where feces hadn't been cleaned up for some time. All of the animals were dangerously thin, covered in fleas, flies and ticks and all had been terribly neglected. Included in the group were some German Shepherd Dogs, some Chow Chows and a Pit Bull. They were all very thin, filthy animals, filled with parasites, ear tips bitten away by flies. And I was told the smell was terrible.
Can you imagine being chained to a box with no water most the time, fed infrequently, flies buzzing around your face and biting you most of the day, every day, for years? Ticks and fleas would be crawling on your body, giving you diseases: mosquitoes would feed on you all the time. You would endure the heat of summer days while chained to your box with little in the way of relief, and huddle into a little ball of dog on the freezing cold of winter nights with nothing to help keep you warm. There would be no companionship to at least make you feel better. To top it all off, all of the dogs were intact, and the dogs were bred once in awhile to provide puppies for the owner to sell. Who knows the fate of those puppies – we saw the fate of the adults.
What these animals went through was enough to make them all nasty, vicious animals. But as a testament to their breeds, they were all friendly dogs to everybody who handled them!
The local shelter received all of the dogs at once. They cleaned up the dogs, de-wormed them, fed them, kept them warm and dry, and treated their wounds and insect bites. Normally, dogs would be placed once this part was over. But the shelter was told that they had to keep all the dogs until the owner's trial occurred, which included animal neglect charges. That took SEVEN MONTHS to occur! The shelter people did everything they could to make life better for the dogs in their charge – they were wonderful people! But the fact was, the dogs were still in the chaos of a shelter, not in the stability of a home. When would their lives change for the better?
Soon, as it turned out, the owner was forced to sign the dogs over to the city pound. The youngest GSD puppies found homes immediately via the shelter. But the older "pups" and adults didn't fair as well, and the city needed them out, hence they asked for our help. These Shepherds ranged in age from 15 months to 9 yrs. That is when that fateful email went out to different groups, looking for help.
GSRNE took in the GSDs you've seen on our website: King, Ina, and Koa! Taking in multiple dogs at one time means that GSRNE must spend significant funds all at once. We check the dogs for parasites, diseases, infections, joint problems, etc. and we treat anything that needs fixing. All of these dogs needed to be spayed/neutered, too, and that cost. And sometimes dogs need boarding too before going to their foster homes. This gets VERY expensive when multiplied by 3 all at once! Victoria, our Foster Home Coordinator, found foster homes for the dogs, though, and we got them into their foster homes fairly quickly. They needed to feel the love of people like you!
As it turned out, expenses were not to stop here. Poor 9 year old King almost died shortly after his neuter surgery. He became very weak, lethargic, and stopped eating. His foster parents RUSHED him to Tufts Veterinary School Hospital where he was diagnosed with a tick disease seldom seen this far north, but does occur in southern CT, where he'd been. This tick disease, Babesia, is TERRIBLE and can kill dogs, but only after making them very sore and extremely ill. His foster parents, Ronie and Edie, spent days and nights at Tufts to be with King, and I swear that is what helped King to pull through his illness. It was touch and go for days of hospitalization at Tufts, but he pulled through. He has a wonderful temperament and we breathed a sigh of relief when he started eating and moving around again. His bill cost GSRNE thousands of dollars, but he is a great dog and was worth every penny! (His pictures just don't do him justice, either – he's a beautiful boy!) His foster parents adopted him and we were thrilled! King may be Koa's father.
Koa had various minor physical ailments to work on – his issues were emotional ailments from such neglect all his short life. He was one of the older puppies who grew up at the shelter. This can be extremely difficult on a dog. He was very, very scared when he came in and needed months of work. After the dedicated work of some volunteers, the wonderful, sweet animal he is showed through, and eventually came through all the way! Dedication to his welfare by GSRNE volunteers was something to behold! He's SUCH a sweet dog it is hard to believe he came out of such hideous circumstances.
Ina is our little 3-4 yr old female. We believe she is the mother of Koa. This dog was perfect out of the box, except for some physical ailments GSRNE treated (and she was spayed)! How ANYBODY could neglect a sweet, sprightly, well-behaved, friendly dog like this, nobody knows, much less *severely* neglect a dog like this! Little Ina took her entire life in stride, though. And she settled into her foster home like she'd been there all her life, and never came back out – they adopted her!
Thank goodness GSRNE was there to help these dogs! It's our members and supporters who make a difference in the lives of dogs like this. The dedication of their foster homes, of their evaluators and transporters, the home visit workers and all the effort by our foster home & adoption coordinator made this entire rescue effort possible. And YOU made their care and adoptions possible! You couldn't find three nicer dogs to help!
But none of this could have happened without massive amounts of funds on hand – on these 3 dogs alone, GSRNE had to spend thousands of dollars to care for them properly. We have always provided this kind of comprehensive care to our dogs, which many rescues just can't do or don't bother to do. We feel it's important to treat a creature's illnesses, instead of ignoring their issues and hoping somebody else will care for them. GSRNE cares for our dogs!
But this kind of big financial outlay for dog intake and care isn't unusual – many dogs coming into GSRNE need this kind of financial hel p. And right now, truly, our funds are very, very low. Will you help? We are now facing a probable $4000-$5000 bill from Tufts Veterinary School to provide back surgery for one of the sweetest female GSDs you'll ever meet, a dog that we placed years ago and just got back. We will be having a fundraiser soon to help with her care.
We have other dogs to see soon too, and each of them will need somewhere between $150 and thousands of dollars of help. We're so low we'll have to start refusing aid to these dogs, then who will help them? Every dollar we raise goes to the care of the dogs, as nobody in GSRNE is paid anything. But we're very, very low.
So, I am inviting each and every one of you stop, pause, and think about German Shepherd Dogs. We all talk about how we love them! Now think about the dogs on the web site, and the ones we're taking in now and tomorrow and tomorrow. Will you help them? Or will you hope somebody else will? If not you, who? If not now, when? They need your help NOW.
If not you, who? If not now, when?
Please note that you can still make a tax-deductible donation to GSRNE so that we all can continue to help the dogs!
Thank you all – the rescue community is a powerful force when we all pull together – let's save some fabulous German Shepherd Dogs, together and show the world that the Good Guys outnumber the Bad Guys!!!
