Success at retail is knowing what a particular customer wants and delivering the right product every time, said Paul Pappas, chief operating officer of Keany Produce Co., Landover, Md.
"It's a value you bring to your customer," he said. "If you have a cost-conscious customer, you bring the best value for the products. If you have a quality-conscious customer, you concentrate on providing what your customer wants."
Adaptability also is important to retail success, said Lolo Mengel, co-owner and general manager of Coosemans D.C. Inc., Jessup.
"For us, it's been being very flexible, being able to change your focus at the drop of a hat," she said. "You feel a trend changing, and you need to be able to act on it."

Is there any potential for trap crops with insect pests like plum curc, OFM...? In other words, are there tree fruits that are highly attractive to insects that I could grow just to draw insect pests away from other trees and then sacrifice the more attractive fruits to eliminate the next generation of insect pests? Is this kind of tactic employed by anyone on any scale with tree fruits? A lot of my tree fruits are just getting mature enough to begin fruiting, so I've got a lot to learn yet about insect pests, but I'm seeing a lot of signs of plum curculio this year and I had some kind of worm (OFM?) in a significant portion of my Asian pears last year. I have a strong preference for homegrown (as opposed to purchased and especially non-organic) solutions, even to the extent that I'm willing to give up on a lot of the particular fruits I have growing now if they're going to completely depend on purchased insect/disease controls, but I definitely want to learn about any options for reasonable cultural controls, even if they're not a complete solution. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wouldn't planting those trees/crops draw even more nasty insects to the site? The best example I can think of if 'Bag-a-Bug' from the 80's that only brought in hoards of Japanese beetles. |
I like the way you think, cousinfloyd! There is some info out there on using trap crops for curculio. Follow the links for some great recommendations. The idea, which is brilliant, is to push the insects away from your good trees with surround, then pull the insects to the trap tree(s) where you wage an organic pesticide battle with them there. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Organic management of plum curculio

Now before you go calling me the Grinch of Valentine's Day or something equally horrific, I will note that these valentines are for little kids.
Two facts:
- Most little kids like Yo Gabba Gabba almost more than sweets, and
- I have never, ever heard a mom say that their kid wasn't getting enough sugar. They will get it one way or another, I'm sure, but I don't need to be the supplier.
That said, aren't these cute? I found these toothbrushes on clearance at CVS and packaged them up in cello treat bags from Target's dollar section. I printed a simple topper on card stock (after googling for an appropriate corny phrase) and stapled it on. Quick, cheap, easy!
Look! There's more!
Yesterday I was brainstorming mailable, non-sugary valentines to send my nieces–both under 5 years old. This takes the cake! Time for me to find some fun toothbrushes for them!
Yes! Fun! (But I'm pretty sure they would love getting anything in the mail!)
Are you one of those houses that give out toothbrushes for Halloween, too?
Maybe I would if we actually got trick or treaters. The last time we gave out candy, we got three kids. :/

Two quick questions:
1. I've gotten a second starter set, and for a moment I was thinking of putting the damage cards from both together to make a larger damage deck, but would doing that throw off the balance or the game and not be legal in official games? The ratio of cards in the deck remains the same, but it doubles the chance of getting each card.
2. In a miniatures game with only two factions at the moment, would you have to bring two squadrons, one of each faction, to a tournament? The way the game is set up right now, faction vs the same faction hasn't been addressed, and I can see a situation where 75% of the players would show up at a tournament with the same faction.

College Career Centers Help Jobless Alumni Find New Work
Amid the rising unemployment numbers, many people who have not looked for a job in years are turning to their alma maters for help.

Both are trying to win State University of New York Athletic Conference championships, which will be decided this weekend.

I've had my mouse for a while now, and up until tonight I've never had any problems with it.
all of a sudden, the cursor just stopped responding and the top and bottom lights on the DPI meter just started flashing
Rebooting the computer didn't fix it, and I tried swapping USB ports, but I had been using the previous port for the life of the device and it's never had any trouble there previously, and now it seems to be working, but will stop responding randomly every few minutes
I tried to update the drivers, but windows says it's up to date.
I can't find any information on the lights flashing though, I'm worried it means Hardware failure, Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I just go pick up a new mouse?
Hi Phinq,
I suggest for you to check the braided cord of your G500 mouse if there are any external damages (or frays) that might cause its intermittent disconnection. You might also want to check if the USB plug connects to a specific "sweet spot" position within the USB port. If it does, it means a worn-out USB plug.
You could also try uninstalling and re-installing the native HID drivers used by Windows to recognize your mouse. Follow the steps indicated below to execute the procedure:
I hope this information helps.

Barings' Duckworth takes role at SFO
The Serious Fraud Office has appointed Barings targeted return fund chairman Simon Duckworth as non-executive director.
Duckworth, who is also Fidelity European values non-executive director, will take up the post on July 1.
He is chairman of the City of London Police Authority and the National Olympics Security Oversight Group. He has been a member of the City of London Corporation since 2000.
SFO director Richard Alderman says: "Simon brings to us a wealth of experience both of the City and the business world and also of high-level policing and in particular of economic crime. Simon will play a key role in helping us defend the public from becoming victims and in bringing criminals to justice."
Duckworth says: "I am excited to be joining the SFO's board at this time. The SFO and the City of London Police are the two primary delivery agencies for the identification, investigation and prosecution of major economic crime in this country, a form of crime that has frequently been underestimated in terms both of complexity and its impact on a huge range of individuals and businesses.
"The opportunity to help both organisations work even more effectively together is a compelling challenge."

Date 2003-11-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract As the theme of the study indicates the study is a narrative study seeking to respond to two of the major challenges which congregations are facing within the context of ministry, namely postmodernity and globalization. After seeking a fuller description of these two challenges I sought a theological orientation within such a context (postmodern global village) as well as an ecclesiological praxis that could be transformative and redemptive within such a context. I believe to have found in the narrative orientation an appropriate way for doing theology in the postmodern context. The narrative orientation will guide the story of this study within four movements, namely descriptive theology (stories of need), historical theology (texts and tradition), systematic theology (re-authored story of the past) and lastly strategic practical theology (imagined story of the future).The climax of this journey (story) is in the fusion of horizons between the theory-laden questions of descriptive theology and the historical texts of the Christian faith within the narrative orientation of the study. I discovered that truly transformative and redemptive praxis is only possible within language communities (narrative communities). These narrative communities cannot exist in isolation, but are continuously confronted and relativised by the stories of other communities in the global village and therefore these language communities need to be open to the fragmentation and pluralism of the global village, otherwise they will not be able to respond to the reality of the globalization and postmodernity.
The narrative communities needed a story (sacred story) that did not deny the reality of fragmentation and pluralism, but could incorporate this reality into its story. I found this story in the story of the cross and therefore refer to the narrative communities as communities of and under the cross of Christ. These ideas formed the basis for a transformative praxis within a specific congregation, namely Pastoral Redemptive Communities.
The journey within these four movements was a critical journey in dialogue with other disciplines (economics, philosophy, psychology and sociology) and I tried to defend and describe my journey within the parameters of validity claims thereby opening the study for further dialogue.

Snapping Hip Syndrome
Snapping hip syndrome occurs when tendons located in front of or outside of the hip make a popping sound as the hip is moved from flexed position (knee toward waist) to extended (knee down and hip straight). Complaints occur during activities such as running, dance and soccer. The snapping typically is not painful, but the muscles and soft tissue in the area can become tender with repetitive exercise.
Treatment for snapping hip syndrome:
A few specific stretches at home may relieve symptoms. One is to stretch the hip flexors in front of hip by lying back on a bed with the non-affected knee to chest and affected leg draped off edge of bed. Another is to stretch the hip abductor muscles on outside of hip by lying on the back while holding a rope or belt looped around the foot of the straight affected leg, pulling it across body. A gentle stretching sensation should be felt.
Pain can be alleviated with an ice pack to the affected area several times per day for 15 to 20 minutes. Rest is recommended until pain has subsided. At that time, a slow progression into the aggravating activity (ex. running) can begin with care to avoid the return of any symptoms.
Physical therapy is beneficial for relief of pain and return to activity. This would focus on strengthening of hip, muscle specific stretching, assessment of biomechanical lower extremity abnormalities and joint mobilization as needed. Goals of physical therapy are pain relief, lower extremity alignment and function equal to that of the non-affected lower extremity, and return to sport/leisure activity.

About DANETTI's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I grew up in a muscle car family. As a toddler, I rode around in my mom's 65 mustang, her 67' GTO and finally the 70 Stingray, which she still has. She bought it brand new and was the first female member of the Corvette Marque Club of Seattle. I rode in the Vette as a kid with the club for over ten years, lots of fun.
My first Firebird was a 74 Esprit, then a 77 6.6 Trans Am and finally in 1989 I purchased the Bandit SE I have now for 800 plus the trade in of my 77. I miss the big block 6.6, however, through some creative engine modifications and the removal of the stock exhaust manifolds, replacing them with headers, flowmasters and a functional hood scoop. It's a Monster! But it's also my third child!

In February this year, we informed you about a new initiative to improve Tibia with your help. Therefore, we started a new project, the Tibia Council.
The first Tibia Council group focused on hunting grounds, and we would like to take the opportunity to thank all council members for their dedicated work, their constructive and creative feedback. Also, a big thank you to all players who gave constructive feedback via the corresponding thread in the Auditorium or on the Gameplay board.
During the last weeks, our content team evaluated your feedback and worked on the changes regarding certain hunting grounds. Now, that we are done with the internal testing there is no reason to wait any longer. Therefore, we will release a new patch with tomorrow's server save including the following changes:
New hunting grounds:
[Untrusted image host]http://static.tib...d_2_framed_small.png
Ankrahmun surroundings: a terramite dungeon was added in the desert.
Nibelor: a new dungeon with ice golems and crystal spiders was added.
Port Hope - Tiquanda: a new carniphila dungeon can be found in the jungle.
Svargrond Barbarian Camp: a new hunting area with ice golems, crystal spiders, and ice witches was created.
Svargrond Formorgar Glacier: dungeons with stone golems, gargoyles, frost dragons, frost dragon hatchlings, crystal spiders, and quara scouts were added. Also, the environment was changed a bit.
Svargrond surroundings: a new special mammoth cave was added.
Yalahar: a new hunting ground with war golems was placed in the Factory Quarter.
Zao Muggy Plains: a new dungeon with lizard chosens was implemented.
Zao Steppe: a new area with gnarlhounds was added.
Changes on existing hunting grounds:
[Untrusted image host]http://static.tib...d_1_framed_small.png
Ankrahmun Oasis Tomb
Edron Wyvern Hill
Laguna Island
Svargrond Barbarian Camp
Svargrond Formorgar Cave
Svargrond Formorgar Glacier
Svargrond Formorgar Mines
Yalahar Factory Quarter
Zao Razzachai
Zao Steppe
Please note that some of the adjustments on the existing hunting grounds are minor and hard to notice, while other changes might be very obvious. Also, we advise you to be careful while exploring the new dungeons and the changed areas.
In addition, we adjusted the loot of several monsters, and edited the spell behaviour and armour of carniphilas. We have also moved the NPC Buddel from east of the barbarian camp to north of the barbarian camp.
For further information concerning the hunting ground changes, please have a look at the corresponding thread on the Council board.
The new patch will download automatically when you log into the game. If you experience any problems, you can also download the new stand-alone client version 9.86 from our download section.
Have fun!

The Six Commandments for Flying with Kids
1. Start out on the right foot: Arrive with hours to spare, use sidewalk check-in, and have everyone wear slip-on shoes.
2. Burn energy before boarding. Run races, hunt for lost change. Tucker out your crew—and then buckle them in.
3. Don't surrender your stroller until you step onto the plane. When you arrive, it'll be on the gangway, ready to roll.
4. Go nonstop. Connections = complications + nap interruptions.
5. Dodge delays. For the best chance of a timely arrival, book the first flight out.
6. Keep the fun flying: Dole out treats and surprises all along the way.

Copenhagen with kids
Older kids adore the Tycho Brahe Planetarium, Europe's most high-tech exposition on the night sky. The Planetarium also projects amazing 3D films on the 1,000sqm dome-shaped screen, including voyages to the planets and creatures of the deep seas. It is so big and so real you truly feel like you are part of the action.
Near to nature
Copenhagen's Zoo has to be one of the world's most kid-friendly zoos. In addition to 260 species of animals from across the globe – including eye-popping exhibitions of polar bears and elephants – there is the delightful Children's Zoo where kids can meet and pat tame animals like rabbits, pygmy goats and even slithering snakes.
At Charlottenlund, just north of the capital, the amazing Denmark's Aquarium takes visitors around the world via sea creatures, where exhibitions range from crocodiles to giant octopus, to a get-wet touch pool. A new aquarium named The Blue Planet, set to be the biggest in northern Europe, is due to open in 2013 on the shores of Øresund, north of the capital. In true Danish style it is set to do things just a few notches better than most – with the littlest members of society firmly in mind.

So remember how last week we all met Shae, who seemed like an extremely intelligent young lady? Remember how she disappeared from the show almost immediately, as if she realized that was happening on Buckwild would probably negatively impact her political career someday? Well, this week, during the full cast-of-characters credits sequence, she introduced herself officially with a catchphrase-as-persona: "I think of myself as one of the guys... just a lot sexier." Or, roughly translated from Reality TV talk: "I have serious self-esteem issues." (Admittedly, almost everything people say on Reality TV could be translated as "I have serious self-esteem issues" and/or fart noises.) Immediately we were thrown into a Shae-centric melodrama which I have decided to title:
The Tale of Jesse J., The World's Most Perfect Boyfriend Ever
She's dating a guy. There were signs that this guy was maybe not going to win Boyfriend of the Year trophies. Bad Sign #1: His name is Jesse J., which is uncomfortably homophonic for that English singer nobody in America likes. Bad Sign #2: When asked why she was attracted to him, Shae could only offer "He's a good dad," before noting "I don't have anywhere else to live." Bad Sign #3: He allegedly propositioned two of her friends, one of whom was unconscious. Bad Sign #4: He apparently has a history of sexting with other women. Bad Sign #5: Shain doesn't like him because he's, quote, "Real cocky," and I think we can all agree that Shain has the incredible ability to look into a man's eyes and see his soul. Bad Sign #6: One of the first things Jesse J. did on the show was take a gallon of Green Slime out of a beer bong.
We will never really know the truth about what happened the night that Jesse invited Salwa and Ashley over to his house for an afterparty. Here's what we do know: Salwa and Ashley were passed out on various couches in Jesse's den. According to Salwa, Jesse left the snoozing Shae in his room and tried to wake up Ashley. When she proved immobile, he walked over to Salwa, held up his cell phone, and showed her a message: "Meet Me In The Bathroom." Salwa opted out. The next day, the ladies all got together. "Question: Have you ever thought that Jesse would, like, cheat on you?" asked Ashley. Subtle.
Shae confronted Jesse about Salwa's accusations. Jesse argued, "Your friends have their opinions, and then they think they run you." Shae nodded. That was a really good point, Jesse! "Also, Ashley said I went and [EXPLETIVE DELETED] on her in July when we first met." Shae nodded. Yeah, Ashley did mention that this skeezeball [EXPLETIVE DELETED] on her. Why would she say that, when everyone could clearly see that Jesse was a kindhearted man, a great humanitarian, indeed, the last great American man in our cold dead nation? "It's not fair to me! I'm gonna confront them face-to-face!" concluded Jesse. "How dare these girls I tried to have sex with tell you, my trusting girlfriend, that I tried to have sex with them!"
Shae nodded and nodded and nodded some more. She was like a detective who was getting to the bottom of a mystery, except there was no mystery and she was the world's worst detective. The next day, at what looked like an over-21 version of Chuck E. Cheese's, the ladies had a big evening out. Jesse J. suddenly appeared. "I have assembled you all here, because I have solved The Mystery of the Bad Boyfriend," said Shae. "It turns out that he's a great boyfriend who is perfect, and you're a bad friend, Salwa." Salwa couldn't believe what she was hearing. But Jesse J. had irrefutable proof. "Why would I wake you up and try to have sex with you, when Shae was right here?" asked Jesse. "And I'm such a light sleeper!" said Shae. Consider this case Closed.

Muscle building supplements can be a lifter/gymrat's best friend when used appropriately. This article will teach you about the most effective supplements for building muscle (or getting HUGE! as we like to say) plus when and how to use them. We aren't going to promise you some magical pill or powder that will turn you into Ronnie Coleman after a bottle or two, but we will tell you about the best and most scientifically proven supplements that build muscle and help you get the physique you want with minimal side effects (no roids here bro).
Just remember that you have no business worrying about the best supplements to take if you aren't eating right or training hard as these are by far the most important aspects of reaching your health/fitness goals!
Want to skip the introductory stuff and just see the top supplements for gaining muscle? No worries, scroll to the end of the article, Sultan of Squat!
There are a number of sports nutrition supplements that can help you build muscle and burn fat when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and a solid training program. The best and safest muscle gain supplements with the most scientifically proven benefits include the following:
Casein Protein
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
Creatine Monohydrate
We'll provide more detail about each of these supplements, how they should be used, and also provide a list of our favorites later in the article, but for now you should know that these are the primary supplements you should be spending your money on if your goal is to build muscle and improve performance in the weight room or on the playing field.
Athletes and lifters of all kinds should consider taking some or all of the above supplements if they want to build muscle, improve recovery and return to the field or weight room ready to compete harder and with less soreness sooner. In addition to being the most effective supplements that build muscle, the above ingredients are also proven to be safe and have minimal side effects for most people. Just remember that everybody is different and you should always consult with a physician or healthcare professional before taking any supplement.
Every person is different and not every supplement will work equally well for each individual. For example, we know that approximately 10-20% of the population can be classified as creatine non-responders. Ultimately you have to experiment and see what is most effective for you.
These supplements each work if used independently though you'll often achieve better results if you stack all or some of them together. You don't need to stack all of them together all the time (and you'd be stupid to not to give your body a break every 8 weeks or so), but you'll notice you are extra badass when you stack whey protein, casein protein, creatine, BCAAs, and also beta-alanine together at the same time.
So we know these supplements help us build muscle, but how do they actually do it?
Stimulate lean muscle growth and development
Increase the rate of protein synthesis
Reduce the risk of muscle loss or catabolism
Improve muscle recovery to support intensive workout sessions
Enhance level of energy during workouts
Promote optimal blood flow to muscle tissues
Decrease the level of fatigue enabling you to exercise longer
No single supplement can deliver all of the benefits mentioned above and that is why it can be beneficial to stack all of them together. Here is an example of a solid stack that I consume when hitting the weights like a beast:
Pre-Workout (usually mixed together in 1 shake with Starbucks instant iced coffee for some caffeine)
15-20 grams of whey protein
5 grams of BCAAs
3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate
2-3 grams of beta-alanine (not included above though it is an honorable mention for endurance promoting effects and making creatine more effective) [1]
Post-Workout (tossed into a blender with 12 oz. whole milk, 2 bananas, 1 Tbsp Almond butter, and handful of spinach)
15-20 grams of whey protein
15-20 grams of casein protein
5-10 grams of BCAAs
3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate
1-2 grams of beta-alanine
I'll also usually take down a whey protein shake with 20-30 grams of protein for a snack along with fruit or oatmeal during the day. Sometimes I'll put down a casein shake an hour or so before bedtime for additional recovery.
You are probably more confused than Justin Bieber in a weight room when you walk into most supplement stores. Tons of products with shiny packages and extraordinary claims make it difficult for you to select the products that will help you find what you really need. We are here to change that and make it extremely easy for you to find the top supplements for gaining muscle. We're going to give you a few basic points about each ingredient so you understand what it does and how you should use it.
Whey Protein – The sweet nectar of the Gods. Whey protein is a fast digesting source of protein rich in both essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Since it digests quickly, It is a perfect form of protein to ingest before and after workouts to help your muscles grow and recover quickly. More detailed info here and here.
Casein Protein – Also awesome. Casein protein is a slower digesting form of protein that is traditionally used before bedtime or other periods when you know your body will be without protein. The thought here is that since it breaks down more slowly in the body, it will help provide your muscles with protein over a more sustained period of time. Research also shows that post workout shakes containing a blend of casein and whey protein are more effective at increasing strength than whey protein alone [2].
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) - BCAAs are best known for helping athletes recover faster with less soreness. They are also great at preventing catabolism (breakdown of muscle tissue). BCAAs are composed of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Leucine in particular seems to be a total badass in terms of stimulating protein synthesis and recovery. Read this article for more detail. BCAAs are best used before, during, and after a workout.
Creatine Monohydrate – Creatine must be one of the most misunderstood substances on the planet. Despite the fact that is is simply a combination of three amino acids (glycine, arginine, and methionine), uneducated people associate this awesome and safe supplement with steroids or other illegal substances. Creatine works by supplying your muscles with additional ATP (one of their main sources of energy). This enables you to lift more weights, run faster, and in general just be more awesome. It is best consumed pre and post workout and while not 100% necessary, I recommend cycling on and off creatine for 8-12 periods to give your body a break.
We are fortunate enough to have tried virtually every supplement under the sun and know which ones work and which ones don't. We've listed a few of our favorite choices in the various categories along with special discounts you won't find anywhere else!
Whey Protein
Gold Standard 100% Whey by Optimum Nutrition - The name says it all – this stuff really is what all other whey proteins are measured against. Great ingredient profile from a trusted name at an awesome price make this a great choice. Enter OPTIMUM5 at checkout for an extra $5 off!
Casein Protein
Gold Standard 100% Casein by OptimumNutrition - Notice a trend here? Optimum makes great and trusted proteins that are tough to beat. I alternate between this one and their Natural version. I prefer chocolate supreme for the standard one and chocolate creme for their natural version.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
AMINOx by BSN – A great formula that has everything you need and tastes great. Literally every flavor I've tried has been outstanding, though fruit punch is my favorite. Use code AMINOX5 at checkout for an extra $5 off!
Creatine Monohydrate
Adenoflex AND JetMASS by GAT – I couldn't make up my mind which GAT formula I liked better. Here's the deal-I like Adenoflex's formula better, but I prefer the taste of JetMASS. Both are kickass products so you really can't go wrong. Enter ADENOFLEX5 or JETMASS5 for $5 off either product.
Micronized Creatine Powder by Optimum Nutriton – This is your super basic micronized creatine monohydrate from Optimum. Nothing fancy, just awesome stuff that works. If you are on a budget, this is your best bet.
All Around Awesome Products
AfterShock Recovery by Myogenix – Don't want to deal with finding a bunch of separate products and mixing them together? AfterShock is your best bet. This is a kickass post-workout that tastes great and has all of the above mentioned ingredients in effective dosages. Enter AFTERSHOCK5 for an extra $5 off at checkout.

With the iPad Air followed by the many tablets launched at CES, there are now many options to do actual work on a tablet. At the same time, the meteoric rise of small tablets allow many organizations to put low cost, highly portable devices in the hands of an increasingly mobile workforce. How can IT and business managers make the best of these new options to truly empower employees and better engage customers?
Answers to these issues and more will be addressed on May 6, at our third annual Tablet Strategy conference, to be held in the Flatiron district in New York City.
Executives leading tablet projects in various organizations will present what they did –right or wrong– and share their insights. Mobile experts and consultants will discuss the best practices in tablet deployment, app development and distribution, and secure BYOD program management.
In a day packed with real-life testimonial presentations, no-nonsense panel discussions, and one-to-one conversations between like-minded executive attendees, you will learn how to better plan, execute and optimize tablet projects in your own organization.
Our main theme this year will be "Tablets 2.0 – New tools for the mobile enterprise". We'll announce speakers in the coming weeks, but suffice it to say that, at previous Tablet Strategy conferences, we had speakers from American Airlines, Ford, Genentech, the Ottawa Hospital and several universities. (If you know someone whom you think would be an interesting speaker or panelist, please see the call for speakers we issued a few weeks ago.)
While we're completing the lineup of speakers, check out the event agenda and make sure to reserve your pass for this exclusive conference.
- If you are an IT executive or a business manager involved in a mobile or tablet project for an organization with 25 employees or more, you may be eligible to attend for free: 100 complimentary passes are for "Tablet/Mobile managers" like you. Register now.
- If you don't qualify or work for an IT vendor, we still have a few Regular passes available. Secure yours now.
The Tablet Strategy conference will be brought to you in part by sponsors Allego and Showpad as well as ShinobiControls.
If you want to be updated on future developments about our conferences, you may subscribe to the TabTimes Events mailing list.

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 Kooper!
Facts about Kooper
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Kooper's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Kooper is a sweet kitten with his mom's gentle personality. He loves to run and play with his siblings and also enjoys playing and spending time with humans. Kooper wants a safe and loving home.
Other Pets at Cat Sense, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kooper, a Murrysville Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Murrysville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Murrysville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Murrysville 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 Murrysville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Murrysville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Say, "Yes" to express! Isn't it time?
It's way over due for many of you and the launch of Art Girl's Sanctuary has been a long time coming for Moxieme. With our recent relocation (yes, again!) we're so excited to be offering new additions to our fabulous coaching workshops, events and retreats in the Charlotte area.
Come on over and check out the great offerings at http://moxieme.com/art-girls-sanctuary/ and schedule some fun time to create. You know you need it!
Here's the good news: You don't have to be an artist to reap the benefits of releasing your creativity. Giving yourself time to create is like sunshine to a flower. It causes you to stretch and grow in all areas of your life.
Come play a while, let your grown-up self take a break from mommying, taxi driving, brain overload, workaholic syndrome and every other thing weighing you down. You are worth the small investment. Bring a friend and come to the Art Girl's Sanctuary to get enlivened and refreshed. It's a way of life!
Check out our many workshops here: http://moxieme.com/art-girls-sanctuary/
Some people have a natural gift that brings order to the world, others are gifted at overseeing aspects of life, and then there are those who actually create and walk out new ways of seeing, thinking, being and living. I think of these as Creative Incubators.
I am a Creative Incubator. I began seeing the world in this unique fashion during childhood when I took odd broken pieces of jewelry, watches and gadgets and reconfigured them into jewelry and art. This was long before the steam punk movement emerged, or I recognized that life design happens in a similar fashion.
This way of seeing things calls for a second look, evokes a new question or causes one to consider the possibilities, but it's only visible to those who are willing to pull aside and explore beyond the beaten path. The beaten path is not usually where Creative Incubators thrive.
Being a Creative Incubator requires the ability to grow comfortable with the unknown. It's not that I've actually ever been comfortable with the unknown, but I've gained a willingness to sit with the unknown while letting it morph, speak, gain shape and move through my open hands. Sometimes I resist this. Sometimes I ignore the promptings, busying myself, or simply disengaging and devaluing the rays of inspiration I allow to flitter out of reach.
I grew up with an artist mom who truly valued creativity, unlike other cultural mindsets that believe creative pursuits are a frivolous waste of time.
Art helped me process life's difficulties using my creative ability to examine and explore. I often spent hours stringing beads, singing and writing songs, cutting metal to fabricate funky earrings, or painting and writing my free time away. I'm the only girl I know who took an electric drill to boarding school.
Gratefully my mom never told me to do something more useful, but instead nurtured my creative bent. In encouraging my creative play she was nurturing a problem solving ability too.
Art is a powerful vehicle that can help us bypass our linear mind and tap into the reservoirs of our intuitive, most creative selves. Art is not merely a product derived from a process, but a way of seeing things unique to the individual creator.
The word for today from Lance Secretan's Spirit@Work Cards that I did my art journaling around is: ®Wonder. You can play along by getting the App on your iphone too, drawing a value card each day, or following along with the card I've drawn.
I love the word wonder. It makes me want to cartwheel through tall grass and throw up my skirt and wade out into the deep blue sea. It calls me to look again at what I have missed right before my eyes, a thousand times. It beckons me to become awe struck, gazing at every tiny particle of beauty, joy, love and life surrounding me.
I often need to be reminded to get out of my head and return to the childlike place of wonder. When I have neglected my heart for too long, there are tale-tale signs. If I have wondered off the golden streets for the counterfeit of reasoning and practicality, I most certainly have forgotten the spirit being that I am.
If I have chosen to build something and put off living until the "time is right," I've most certainly abdicated my true self and with it my sense of wonder. I must put everything down and with everything in me recall what I knew before I forgot it. I must run to the nearest reprieve, the nearest safe-gap to recall and play. I must reawaken my sense of wonder.
As I contemplate where I am and where I am heading my thoughts are simple, "What will I do?"
I hope you think about the direction you're heading in and don't leave it to chance. If you live in Charlotte, NC consider an exciting weekly coaching opportunity I am offering.
Are you ready for some fresh invigoration that will introduce you to an environment of expansion, new growth and creativity in your life? As much as you want to dive into greater clarity and vision your inner world has to be in congruence with your outer steps in order to move forward with clarity and vision. Start 2014 with regular support and camaraderie to help you take your life to a new level.
Join me for a weekly, in-person, creative coaching journey through, The Untamed Heart Coaching Circle, where we will explore the possibilities, clarify vision and nurture inspiration through inspiring creative projects and a supportive coaching environment.
Take time to invest in yourself, untame your heart and explore the internal wealth you possess as you process through Untamed Heart, Releasing Your Creative Genius book and The Gift's of Imperfection by Brene' Brown with other women. Invest in yourself and watch your life blossom!
Often people are drawn to coaching when their normal is disturbed. It may be that you've accomplished one set of goals and are wondering what's right for the next season. Or maybe you've left a job, experienced a divorce, loss, transition, empty nest, or realize this is a time you want to invest in your growth.
If you are ready to explore a new perspective, engage new possibilities, unleash creative play as a means to up your own game of life, then join the Untamed Heart Coaching Circle and make an investment in yourself.
