After schlepping around a 35mm kit with two Nikon camera bodies, several lenses, and a full sized Bogen tripod for many years, I've come to appreciate small, easily pocketable cameras like the Nikon Coolpix S8000. When our test unit arrived, I was immediately impressed and after two weeks of carrying the camera with me just about everywhere I went, my initial impressions haven't changed. The little black S8000 (the camera is also available in silver, red and brown) is about the size of an Altoids tin and provides a nice balance of usability, simplicity and snappy performance.
The tiny low-profile S8000 is a first-rate picture maker that's capable of capturing super images indoors and outdoors. The S8000's collapsible 10x zoom is like carrying a 30-300mm lens around in your shirt pocket. It's also quick enough to capture the decisive moment. Here's my bottom line (at the top of the review): if you want a compact digicam that gives up the biggest bang for your camera buck and you don't need some level of manual exposure capability - you really can't do a whole lot better than the S8000 at this point in time.
At first glance the diminutive auto-exposure only S8000 looks pretty much like every other ultra-compact digicam out there. On closer inspection this little unit seems rather elegant. It's unobtrusive, understated (at least the black version) and eminently pocketable. The S8000 is truly compact, measuring 2.3x4.1x1.1 inches and weighing in (with battery and memory media) at just 6.5 ounces.
The robustly built metal-alloy/polycarbonate body has good dust/weather/moisture seals and feels comfortingly solid. Even though the S8000 is very thin and has smooth surfaces, it is fairly stable in the hands thanks to the nicely placed wrist strap and contoured thumb rest.
Not only does the Coolpix S8000 slip easily into a standard shirt pocket or a small purse, but it carries nicely when gripped loosely in the palm of the hand with the wrist strap looped around the right hand. Areas vulnerable to loss/breakage include the plastic cover of the battery and memory media compartment (which must be locked/unlocked via a tiny slider by the user) and the soft plastic flap over the USB port.
Ergonomics and Controls
The S8000's user interface is uncomplicated and straightforward. The control layout is quite basic and sufficiently similar to other current digicams in the compact ultrazoom class to provide most users with a comforting sense of déjà vu. Buttons are logically placed and come easily to hand for right-handed shooters, but they are all rather small. The super tiny on/off button sometimes requires an extra push or two to power the camera up or down.
The S8000's user interface is logical and uncomplicated; all buttons are fairly small, but they are clearly marked, sensibly placed and easily accessed. Operation is very basic and all exposure options are minor variations on the auto exposure theme. There is no mode dial because shooters only have four options - Auto mode, Scene mode, Smart Portrait, and Movie mode. In place of the standard compass switch, the S8000 features what is essentially a rotary jog dial (which Nikon calls the rotary multi-controller) for super fast menu scrolling and back and forth saved image comparison.
The central portion of the rotary multi-controller functions in the familiar compass switch control configuration - up/down (flash/macro), left/right (self timer/exposure compensation), and center "OK" button. Unfortunately there is no direct access method, like Canon's "func" button for adjusting ISO and White Balance or other often changed settings; any adjustments must be accomplished via menu. There's also a dedicated "one-touch" button for starting and stopping video capture.
Menus and Modes
The S8000's two tab menu system is consistently simple, user-friendly, logical and easily navigated. The large 3.0-inch LCD and reasonable font size make reading the menus easy.
Here's a breakdown of the S8000's shooting modes:
Like most currently available digicams the S8000 doesn't provide an optical viewfinder so the LCD must be used for all framing and composition, image review and menu access chores. The S8000 may lack an optical viewfinder, but makes up for this omission by adding a large screen with what amounts to four times the 230k resolution of some of its competition. The S8000's wide-viewing angle Clear Color 3.0-inch TFT LCD is super sharp (920,000 pixels), bright, hue accurate and fluid.
The info display provides all the information the camera's target audience is likely to need, but in review mode this information remains on the screen for approximately five seconds before allowing the image to be seen without the info overlay - defeating the nifty rotary jog dial's ability to compare saved images by jogging back and forth between them. The LCD gains up (automatically increases brightness) in dim lighting and can be adjusted to the individual shooter's preferences. Some earlier "S" models featured LCDs that were so shiny that they behaved like mirrors, making them essentially useless in bright outdoor lighting - the S8000 shows marked improvement over its predecessors with a very good anti-glare/anti-reflection coating.
Nikon's Coolpix models seem to have been getting faster since the introduction of the nifty little S640 last year. The S8000 has the fastest start up time of any camera in its class, but there's a problem: the camera starts up almost instantly, but users then must then wait 3 or 4 seconds before the camera can do anything including menu access, zooming, review and image capture.
Shooting Performance
The Nikon S8000 may not be the fastest pony in the corral, but then this isn't a horse race - it is a camera test. The S8000 is fast enough for this shooter's needs and I'm always looking to capture the decisive moment. Usually, I test speed by seeing if the camera can freeze skateboarders and BMXers in mid-air. We've had so much rain recently, though, that a trip to the Louisville Extreme Park wasn't an option. The S8000 should be fast enough for just about anything (youth soccer, T-ball, etc.) its target audience is likely to shoot.
In addition to being as quick or quicker than most of its competition, the S8000 consistently produces sharply focused and properly exposed images even in lighting that would challenge most compact point-and-shoots. Nikon claims the S8000's contrast detection auto focus system is as speedy as many entry level DSLRs, which are generally driven by inherently quicker phase detection AF systems. The Nikon S8000 seems very quick in the AF department, locking on the subject in about 0.2 second (according to Nikon) without regard to lighting conditions or where in the zoom range the lens is set.

*Note: Continuous shooting framerates are based on the camera's fastest full-resolution JPEG continuous shooting mode, using the fastest media type available (300x CF, SDHC, etc.). "Frames" notes the number of captures recorded per burst before the camera stops/slows to clear the buffer.
The S8000 efficiently manages camera shake via the camera's three step Image Stabilization system. That includes Nikon's standard Vibration Reduction technology, which works by quickly and precisely shifting lens elements in the 10x Nikkor zoom to compensate for camera movement during exposure. Nikon's VR system is coupled with Digital Image Stabilization which boosts sensitivity (up to ISO 6400) and punches up shutter speeds to help further counter shooter instability, especially in low light. Nikon's Motion Detection technology automatically (when enabled) manages shutter speed and sensitivity to compensate for minor subject movement during exposure. The S8000's VR system provides only two options: on or off. In addition, the S8000's Subject Tracking scene mode finds, tracks, and adjusts focus, making it easier to capture moving subjects.
The S8000's multi-mode pop-up flash provides a tiny bit more distance from the lens than the built-in flash units of most of the S8000's competitors to help avoid the dreaded red-eye. The flash is very small and a bit on the weak side, but it provides an adequate selection of artificial lighting options, including Auto (fires when needed), On (fill flash), Red-Eye Reduction, and Off. Flash coverage is even and the S8000's flash images are natural-looking.
The S8000 is powered by a 3.7V, 1050mAh Nikon EN-EL12 lithium-ion battery. Nikon claims the S8000 (with a fully charged battery) is good for about 200 exposures. I do a lot of shoot, review, delete, and re-shoot so I don't really keep track of exposures, but I only charged the battery twice while I had the camera. A supplied charger accessory charges the battery in-camera. Full time VR didn't seem to reduce the battery-life by too much, but using the S8000 heavily in video mode (like I did at our recent Asian Fest) will burn through battery power like the space shuttle burns through rocket fuel on lift-off. The S8000 can also be charged via USB with a PC or laptop.
The S8000 provides 32MB of internal memory (about 5 full-res images) and stores images to SD/SDHC memory media up to 16GB. The memory card slot is shared with the battery compartment.
Lens Performance
When the Coolpix S8000 is powered up, the lens automatically telescopes out of the camera body. When the camera is powered down, the lens is fully retracted into the camera body and a built-in iris style lens cover protects the front element. Not so long ago, most ultra-compact digicams sported 3x zooms, so the S8000's 5.4-54mm f3.5-f/5.6 (30-300mm equivalent) zoom is the star of the show - that's not too surprising given the tiny form factor of this camera. The S8000's 10x zoom allows shooters to cover everything from moderate wide-angle landscapes to up-close macro images.
The f/3.5 maximum aperture is a bit slow for shooting indoors, but should be more than fast enough for outdoor shooting in decent light. The S8000's diminutive profile and extra lens reach make this camera almost ideal for candid/street shooters. Center sharpness is pretty good overall, but at the wide-angle end of the zoom corners are slightly soft. I didn't notice any vignetting (dark corners) and both barrel distortion (straight lines bowing out from the center) and pincushion distortion (straight lines bowing in toward the center) seem well corrected. Contrast is balanced and colors are hue accurate. Chromatic aberration is remarkably well-controlled, but some very minor color fringing is present, especially in the color transition areas between dark foreground objects and bright backgrounds. Minimum focusing distance (in macro mode) is 0.4 inches. Zooming is smooth, silent, and fairly quick.

Video Quality
The Nikon Coolpix S8000's movie mode is arguably the best video capture system in its class. This includes a dedicated one-touch video record button driven HD video (1280x720 at 30 fps) mode with stereo sound and a mini HDMI port (purchasers will have to pay separately for the proprietary connection cable) for hooking the camera up to a flat panel TV. Video shooters can't use the optical zoom (although the optical zoom can be set to whatever length is desired prior to recording) during video capture.
The video that accompanies this review was shot in a very dimly lit auditorium with the zoom set to between 80-100mm (equivalent). Recorded movement is clean and smooth, not jerky. The costumes of the Cambodian dancers were very colorful and the colors are recorded accurately. The sound seemed a bit tinny, but that could be as much the fault of the auditorium's acoustics or the quality of the recorded Cambodian music as the responsibility of the S8000's tiny stereo microphones.
Image Quality
Like most compact point-and-shoots, image files produced by the S8000's are optimized for the bold, bright colors and balanced contrast that many veteran shooters refer to as consumer color. Recorded color is accurate but noticeably more intense than real life colors. Reds are very warm, blues are bold and bright, and greens/yellows/oranges are vibrant.
Outdoors, the S8000 does a great job. Image quality is dependably excellent and noticeably better than the average for cameras in this class. Exposures are consistently accurate, but lots of sky in the image often results in slightly overexposed images and the sky turning from blue to white. The bottom line is that the S8000's color interpolation, while a bit more intense than neutral, is consistently and dependably accurate. The colors I saw on my monitor when I reviewed the images were the colors I saw when I shot the picture.
The S8000's Auto White Balance is dependably accurate over a wide range of lighting conditions. In fact, it's the best auto WB mode I've seen in a camera in this price class - roughly equal to Canon's "G" series digicams. The S8000's Auto WB mode handled indoor color with assurance. In addition to the auto setting there are user selected Manual, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Cloudy, and Flash settings available.
Auto White Balance, 3200k incandescent light
Indoor image quality is excellent, on par with much more expensive digicams, but as sensitivity (automatically) rises to overcome lower levels of ambient lighting, noise rises exponentially and color intensity (saturation) suffers a bit. Noise levels are quite reasonable up to ISO 400, but they increase substantially after ISO 800. All the sample images that accompany this review were recorded at the 14 megapixel fine JPEG setting.

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is clearly targeted toward casual photographers and snap-shooters rather than photography enthusiasts. The S80000 is the spitting image of what consumers expect from the latest pocket picture rocket - it is a super compact, conservatively styled, auto-exposure-only camera that provides all the most popular bells and whistles that casual photographers have come to expect. It's so simple to operate that even absolute beginners can capture impressive images.
But the S8000 has a secret alter ego - Nikon's robustly built little Coolpix S8000 has some pro potential. It generates good quality images, renders colors accurately, and offers a very nice 10x Nikkor zoom. The S8000 also features a hi-res 920,000 pixel 3.0-inch LCD, HD video that rivals the output of a camcorder, Nikon's first rate Vibration Reduction (optical image stabilization) and 224 segment matrix metering systems, and the ultra-quick AF.
Some users may feel that its lack of manual exposure options compromise the camera's creative usability. User input into the exposure process is pretty much limited to lighter/darker tweaking via the exposure compensation mode. As it is, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 would be an almost ideal choice to replace an aging first digital camera, an excellent choice as a family camera, and a very good choice for travelers who want a small tough, easy to use digicam.

This is my first post on this forum and hope to get some feedback from all you creative types... We need to choose a backsplash to compliment our beautiful madre perla quartzite countertops. I have been looking at polished white (pearl) onyx staggered tile to maybe glass tile. Any ideas or feedback is appreciated! |

I believe Pipdog used white onyx tile, and her kitchen looks fabulous. What color are your cabinets? your counters are gorgeous, by the way. |
Thank you for your input! The cabinet color is Dunn Edwards milk glass. I have seen the white polished white onyx and love it! Having a problem sourcing the product through my usual Los Angeles tile places. |
Absolutely gorgeous choices so far. The colors are subtle and incredibly beautiful. I love the wall color, cabinet color, stone, floor - home run. How do you feel about mother-of-pearl tile? It is available in almost any imaginable format like the 2" x 2" mosaic below, and can have touches of pink to cream, to brown. |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 13 at 15:48
One thing to look for is how the tile looks with the lights on and lights off. I tried the MOP shell tile in my current kitchen. It was gorgeous with the lights off and only daylight in the room. As soon as I turned on the ucl or the other lights, it went flat. Someone else mentioned this. I was surprised that it happened. I think Ann Sachs might have an Onyx tile available. |
Did you find a bs tile? I'd love to see the result. Yours is one of my favorite neutral kitchens! |

The Best of the Best
I need to start off by telling you I am a flip-flop pro. I have been wearing them since I moved to the beach 15 years ago and still wear them year around here in Texas. With that said, I have wore many pairs from cheap to pricey. I find the Malia the most comfortable while looking stylish. I rank them up there with my Athens crocs (which I don't really like to wear in public). Very form fitting to the foot with no gaping or rubbing. Trust me, all the comfort of a croc with no one knowing.

We have purchased the Dining Plan and I figured on eating at ESPN Club. However, I wanted to know if there are any other restaurants on the Boardwalk area that are exeptionally better than ESPN, and maybe what would be considered the best. I only want to use 1 credit for table service meal. My family consists of myself, my wife, and two sons, 15 and 7. We all are sports fans, especially baseball, but not over the top. You can also include restaurants at Yacht and Beach Club resorts. Thank you.

Relationship rescue is definitely what this post is all about, that's what you've come here to read but first let's get personal…
Normally I'd bet you hard cash, serious hard cash on being certain of my one main characteristic (most of us would, we know ourselves well enough). Easy ! Normally, I'd shout 'Don't take on that bet sucker because you're going down in flames if you do'. But suddenly, distressingly I have found that my main characteristic has been rudely upended and it feels like someone else is squatting in my brain, someone else's emotional molecules are surging through my blood stream, someone else's voice is screaming where mine would normally be… and it ain't pretty!
You see, I've never actually sought any kind of relationship rescue. Lucky? No, I believe it's because normally I'd say I was… placid – there I said it. It's not a characteristic that's seen as sexy or cool…like I care! But that's me (always has been) placid, decent, open honest, – you know 'nice', up for getting on with people, making life fun and enjoyable, walking away from aggressive tossers of either sex because fighting is for stupid people who don't want a resolution to whatever is so bloody important at the time… or so it was until now.
Because tonight… if you happen across my door tonight, I'd struggle to spit the word 'placid' through enamel ground-down teeth, through hyper-tension, puffy fish lips twisted with rage. Placid no more until this is sorted!
What the hell went wrong with relationship rescue advice?
Let me explain. There's been a growing trend, a strengthening of one of the most ignorant, ridiculous and toxic accepted cultures that probably started out in insidious earnest while I was writhing around to pop songs in hideous 80's frills, reeking of perming solution. Seemed innocent enough at the time – the frills and the lyrics that is. Yeah, yeah don't you want me baby, whoo whoo… and other top notch, classy classics. Boys and girls trying to get it on, sometimes making it, sometimes not. Mostly nothing too sinister, nothing too dangerous to the future of mankind. Most of us made it through the rah-rah years relatively unscathed. Not so our next generation and not so those out there now taking what they believe to be good and real relationship rescue advice. Somebody hold me back, hold me down because I won't be responsible for the consequences…
Relationship rescue surely used to be the preserve of special agencies and qualified individuals set up to help counsel couples and singles? Well watch and learn because now I have no choice but to stand up and defend my like-minded decent, honest, straightforward, placid types who are being railroaded and denigrated by this latest trend.
Rollover Nostradamus!
Want a prediction? Here it is. 20 years on from this very day boys and girls will have taken the dangerous concept of the battle of the sexes to new heights, dizzying, vomit-inducing, vertigo-worthy heights because boys and girls won't be talking any more. Not talking, dating, loving, sexing… not with any hope of ever actually having a relationship – lasting or otherwise. And it will be entirely due to the turning tide of rotten, stinky advice on how the hell boys and girls should treat each other!
This is not a dig at any one of the books listed on today's Amazon Bestseller Love and Romance list – no need because there are thousands more, all jumping on the bandwagon desperate to add to the mal-relationship advice that has rapidly become the norm, the accepted, wisdom – ah! Boy is mankind in trouble.
The relationship rescue fight is on. Bring it on!
Hop up on my counseling couch and explain to me how the hell you're ever going to make out there in the relationship jungle with only the now ever prevalent, bullshit map for guidance.
Let it all out in the comments below. We're all friends here.

I haven't looked into the tools yet. But appearently, it's midi2text and text2midi. When I saw that, the first thing that ran thru my mind was "what a great way for someone to be able to easily create a program that uses these tools to do certain tasks" (like seperating different instruments from a midi file into seperate tracks). I'm sure there's more ways of using these tools. But that's the first thing that ran thru my mind... A third program that preforms certain kinds of editing on midi files.

Mak – Mak – Album Review
L-A be Let Artists Be
by Tina Dealwis
Montreal band Mak's self-titled debut album is an eclectic mix of sounds and influences, uniquely blended together. In this release, Mak demonstrates its wide range of musical interests. Mak, whose current lineup was established in 2009, consists of Jesse MacCormack on vocals, guitar, and keyboards, Gabriel Drolet on bass, Simon Labbé on guitar, Samuel Béland on keyboards, percussion, and programming, and Maxime Reed Vermette on drums.
The album is nine songs of haunting vocals over intricate instrumentation spanning rock, jazz, and hip hop genres. You can hear traces of Radiohead, Coldplay, and TV on the Radio influences in the songs, among others. "If She's Got A Habit, is an easy-going, mellow opening track. It is followed by "Cause to Effect", which features the electric guitar, and has a melodic rock vibe. The album then slows down for the next three songs—"Stone," which starts off slow, then picks up speed in the middle, before slowing down again, "Reverse," and "Young Lads." The next song, "Stab Me," is funky with a danceable beat that sounds like it may have been influenced by Prince, followed by "Bulletproof Love," an acoustic melody that builds to a deeper sound. The acoustic sound continues for the next song "TV," and the album ends with the slow, mellow groove of "Them."
Mak's debut release is highly enjoyable. Its mellow sound, with some surprising sounds and effects, is the type of album you would listen to while relaxing at home over a glass of wine. It is musically interesting and pleasing to listen to, and should appeal to a wide audience.

Next time... just tell him you'll be there cheering for him!
So the waste of a few seconds is nothing!
I'm telling you man, you need to text that boy and ask him to hang out with you. You don't have to worry about your parents because they'll just see him as a new friend. Go play basketball or see a movie or play Skyrim or whatever it is teenaged boys do. It'd be the perfect opportunity to get to know him better. Trust me on this one.
If you wait much longer, stop-gap measures could easily become a bit too appealing!

Whimsy is the 33-year-old former Chicagoan's specialty, and it jibes well with the offbeat restaurant's off-the-grid take on food. Emphasizing a vessel's shape and how it affects the way diners experience food is not the mark of mainstream American restaurant-dom, but these are dining establishments that strive to be a bit left of center. To date, Riley's largest endeavor at a local restaurant has been a wall of 72 airy plates at Odd Duck that are glazed in a black, cobalt and gray doily design. "A lot of times, you pick up plateware, and it's not what you envisioned," Buchholz says. "Kate designs it for what you need it to be."
Married chefs Lisa Kirkpatrick and Paul Zerkel have used Riley's egg cups for their pop-up Butcher, Baker events. Zerkel is a chef at Odd Duck, and Kirkpatrick is balancing jobs at both Odd Duck and Hinterland, another Riley customer. For a Milwaukee Beer Week event at the Third Ward gastropub, the potter made 50 pint-size mugs imprinted with some funky lettering and the restaurant's initial. The pieces are "smart and speak to you," says Kirkpatrick, even as they're dispensing your beer.
Riley's marriage to Wolf Peach head chef Daniel Jacobs in 2008 sharpened her interest in functional, food-safe pottery, and it also gave her a client. Wolf Peach uses small oven-safe crocks designed and created by Riley, whose use of high-fired glazing methods keeps the pottery food-protected and impermeable to water. Her output will presumably increase once she and Jacobs move to digs that can accommodate the equipment needed for a potter's studio, which they plan to do this summer.
"I'm drawn to images," she says, be they Pee-wee Herman's silhouette, a lacy pattern of leaves or an octopus. "Once I have that, it just evolves."

Network auditing with dsniff 2.3
A tool for monitoring and managing traffic.
To audit network traffic you need to employ a program like a sniffer to listen to your traffic and analyze the results. If you've ever used a network monitor such as Windows' or Solaris', then you are familiar with sniffers. Commercial sniffers gather statistics and can work with various threshold and defined events. One collection of tools that has been around a few years is dsniff 2.3. This is actually a set of tools that not only...

audit, but test for network penetration. These programs can run on OpenBSD (x86), Red Hat Linux (x86), and Solaris (SPARC). It's been reported that users have been able to run these programs on FreeBSD, Debian Linux, Slackware Linux, AIX, and HP-UX. A version of dsniff has also been ported to Windows and MacOS X.
The dsniff ensemble includes the following tools: dsniff, filesnarf, dnsspoof, and macof, all of which intercept traffic that is protected from outsiders. Other programs such as sshmitm and webmitm in the package protect against what are referred to as "active monkey in the middle" attacks. In these sorts of attacks SSH and HTTPS traffic is redirected to another destination.
A two-part story on IBM's DeveloperWorks site is a very good introduction to the use of this tool, how it functions, and what it can and can't do. These articles are: "On the lookout for dsniff" and "On the Lookout for dsniff, part 2".

Super PAC backing Obama pouring more money into Denver TV ads than Romney's
Earlier this week, Westword stopped by Fox31 (KDVR) and CW Channel 2 (KWGN), partner stations located in the same building down the street from KUSA. The trend for Restore and Priorities spending there was essentially the same.
At KDVR, Restore had only two orders, giving them a combined total of sixteen spots, costing $13,375. The ads also cover a short period over the last two weeks of June.
That's a pretty small buy compared to Priorities' six ad orders, totaling 204 spots and costing $60,375. Priorities USA ad attacking Romney.
At KWGN, Priorities also had six orders, buying the group 157 spots, costing a total of $46,150.
Interestingly, Restore so far is not airing any ads at KWGN, which, as we noted in our previous post on spending, has no official ads from the Romney campaign, either.
In response to an inquiry from Westword, Bill Burton, senior strategist for Priorities USA Action, sent along this statement:
We've invested significantly in Denver because Colorado voters are deeply concerned about Romney's record of profiting from the failure of companies and the elimination of promised health benefits. Romney and his firm made over $100 million from a company that went bankrupt and fired 275 Colorado workers.
A spokeswoman for Restore told us that the PAC doesn't comment on strategy.
As we'll be doing with all of our reports on local ad spending, we are including clean summaries of our notes for each station, to let you see for yourself exactly what the buys from the super PACs look like. Below you'll find the contract dates for each order, followed by the total number of spots, and the total gross amount.

How to Comply With the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act's marketplace opens today — despite the federal government's budgetary shutdown — so it's time for small-business owners to take steps to remain in compliance with the law.
Here's a primer on what to do right now.
Get the Proper Forms
First off, you need to notify your employees of their coverage options. Log on to the U.S. Department of Labor website and download the Model Notice form that corresponds to whether or not you offer your staffers a health insurance plan. The forms are available in English and Spanish.
Fill out the form(s) with the specific information that's requested about your company — and, if you're offering health coverage, details of the plan(s) you're making available.
Ask Employees to Sign
The Model Notice forms should provide your employees with all of the pertinent information that you're required to supply. Make copies of these completed forms, and give one to each of your employees. Ask everyone to sign with the date on a distribution sheet, so that you can prove you provided the information on a timely basis.
This really should be done by Oct. 1. However, there is no fine or penalty for being a few days late.
Get More Information
Your accountant should be able to help you navigate some of the complexities of the Affordable Care Act, and you can also find a great deal of information on the Labor Department website.
For example, the site provides answers to many frequently asked questions regarding compliance, grandfathered health plans, preventive health services, the effective date for individual health insurance policies, exemptions to the law, and more. In particular, you'll want to check out the Small-Business Health Care Tax Credit for Small Employers.
Understand Your Obligations
Because the Affordable Care Act creates a whole new ballgame for small businesses, you may benefit from reviewing the advice offered by the National Federation of Independent Business. It gives you a timeline of what's legally slated to unfold between now and 2018, and specifies in detail what employers must do, beginning in 2015, to avoid penalties.
Small businesses that employ fewer than 50 full-timers and do not offer health care coverage to those employees will escape requirements for compliance and will not pay any penalties.
Plan to Keep Current
The Affordable Care Act is still a work in progress: Many regulatory details and standards have yet to be worked out. Because the rules will continue to evolve, reading the relevant regulations today isn't enough. You'll need to stay abreast of future developments.
Of course, there will be ample news stories and advice from small-business support organizations like the NFIB. But instead of depending "on the kindness of strangers," for the next few years, you may want to establish a quarterly reminder on your calendar. That way, you'll remember to check in with the Affordable Care Act's progress — and find out if there's anything more you need to do.

Christoph Waltz surprise winner of Best Supporting Actor Oscar
Well now, that was a surprise.
Waltz's win, over favored Tommy Lee Jones, surprised just about everyone -- and suggets two things:
For one, it doesn't bode well for "Lincoln's" chances.
And two, maybe Jones should have smiled more at those earlier awards ceremonies.

Hello. I am still new at gardening and would greatly appreciate any tips for caring for basil and mint in the winter. My mint plant is growing fine (it's winter time in Maryland) and it's currently indoors with my basil. However , there are many small basil plants( much bigger then seedlings , about 4 or 5 inches tall) next to my mature basil plant that are growing rather well , but aren't very bushy/seem very thin. Would there be any way for me to keep them healthy during the winter? My house is very warm indoors and they are constantly given hours of fluorescent light. I understand though that most plants avoid heavy leaf/flower production in the winter. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think that your basil would benefit with more light. Perhaps you could move the plants closer to the light source and/or increase the light intensity. |
- Posted by homegrown54 z6 SE Ohio (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 14:00
Roger on the light, Chervil2. And make sure you're not overwatering, and feed a little from time to time. Mine is bushy under lights right now. |

Conseco Fieldhouse
Attendance: 12,629
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Danny Granger finished with a game-high 24 points and Darren Collison added 18 points, seven assists and six rebounds, as the Indiana Pacers earned an easy 100-89 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Brandon Rush netted 16 points off the bench for the Pacers, who shot 43.8 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers.
Mike Dunleavy had 10 points and six boards for Indiana, which recorded a 93-77 victory at Miami on Monday and has won three of its last four.
"This had to be a big win for us because we came off a good road game. And it means nothing if you come back and lose," Granger said. "The crowd was behind us, very supportive, very loud. I feel defense was a big key for us."
Daniel Gibson and Ramon Sessions each ended with 15 points for Cleveland, which has dropped three straight and five of its last six contests. Antawn Jamison had a double-double of 12 points and 10 boards in defeat.
"We have to understand that we have to come out with a sense of urgency and do that for 48 minutes," Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott said. "This isn't even close to rock bottom. It's a good test for us."
Rush threw in a one-handed runner from well beyond the three-point arc just before the first quarter buzzer sounded to give the Pacers a 24-16 lead after the opening 12 minutes.
Indiana then exploded for a 17-3 run in the early stages of the second half and grabbed a 41-23 advantage after Collison's three-point play with 6:55 left before halftime.
James Posey hit a three and Granger made two at the stripe in the closing seconds to put the Pacers up by a commanding 62-37 score heading into the intermission.
It wasn't to be for the Cavaliers, as Dunleavy's trey and Rush's reverse layup put the hosts up by a healthy 32-point advantage, at 77-45, with 5:12 left in the third.
It was 83-56 after three quarters and Indiana never relinquished its double- digit lead in the fourth despite emptying the bench in favor of the deep reserves.

Contents tagged with SO-Aware
Extending the SO-Aware repository with custom metadata
One of the main features that SO-Aware provides is the central repository for storing service artifacts (WSLD, schemas, bindings) and configuration that any organization generates. This central repository is completely exposed as an OData service that third party applications and tools can easily consume using Http.
Service Testing made easy with SO-Aware Test Workbench
I happy to announce today a new addition to our SO-Aware service repository toolset, SO-Aware Test Workbench, a WPF desktop application for doing functional and load testing against existing WCF Services.
SO-Aware Service Explorer – Configure and Export your services from VS 2010 into the repository
We have introduced a new Visual Studio tool called "Service Explorer" as part of the new SO-Aware SDK version 1.3 to help developers to configure and export any regular WCF service into the SO-Aware service repository.
Monitoring your services with SO-Aware
One of the features that you get out of the box with SO-Aware is the ability of monitoring your services. You can either monitoring the traffic for your REST or SOAP services, and see the details of all the incoming or outgoing messages, or any fault that got generated during the execution. In addition, that data is used to compute some metrics and provide several reports about the service usage.
Generating WCF configuration from the SO-Aware Repository
As part of the simplification in service configuration that we want to provide in SO-Aware, we have added two new commands in the PowerShell provider for generating the service configuration at design time in case you don't want to rely on SO-Aware for resolving all that at runtime.
SO-Aware integration with Visual Studio 2008
I am happy to announce today the support in Visual Studio 2008 for adding new service references from the SO-Aware service repository. We have created a simple plugin that you can register in Visual Studio to support this new functionality.
SWUtil - A new tool for generating service proxies from the SO-Aware repository.
As we announced last week, we are shipping a new Visual Studio plugin for generating service proxies as part of the SO-Aware SDK. The functionality is equivalent to what you find today in the "Add Service Reference" command, but the results are much better as you get a proxy that does not require any WCF configuration, and also knows how to resolve bindings and behaviors from the repository.
Managing the SO-Aware Repository with PowerShell
As Jesus mentioned in this post, SO-Aware provides three interfaces for managing the service repository. An OData API in case you want to integrate third applications with the repository. OData is a pure http API that can be easily consumed in any platform using a simple http client library. The management portal, which is an ASP.NET MVC user interface layered on top of the OData API and probably the one most people will use. And finally, a PowerShell provider that also mounts on top of the OData API to allow administrators to automate management tasks over the repository with scripting.
The SO-Aware PowerShell provider, in that sense offers around 40 commands that enables simple management scenarios like registering bindings or services or more complex scenarios that involves testing services or sending alerts when a service is not properly working.
This provider can be registered as an snapin in an existing script using the following command,
$snapin = get-pssnapin | select-string "SOAwareSnapIn"
if ($snapin -eq $null)
Add-PSSnapin "SOAwareSnapIn"
}Once you have registered the snapin, you can start using most of the commands for managing the repository.
The first and more important command is "Set-SWEndpoint", which allows you to connect to an existing SO-Aware instance. This command receives the OData service location as first argument, and it looks as follow,
Set-SWEndpoint -uri http://localhost/SOAware/ServiceRepository.svc
As next step, you can start managing or querying data from the repository using the rest of the commands. For instance, the following example registers a new binding in the repository only if it was not created already
function RegisterBinding([string]$name,[string]$type,[string]$xml)
$binding = GetBinding($name);
Add-SWBinding -Name $name -BindingType $type -Configuration $xml
function GetBinding([string]$name)
$bindings = Get-SWBindings
foreach($binding in $bindings)
if($binding.Name -eq $name)
return $binding
RegisterBinding "stsBinding" "ws2007HttpBinding" "<binding>
<security mode='Message'>
<message clientCredentialType='UserName' establishSecurityContext='false' negotiateServiceCredential='false'/>
</binding>";As you can see, this provider brings a powerful toy that administrators in any organization can use to manage services or governance aspects by leveraging their scripting knowledge.
Our WCF Service Repository (SO-Aware) on Channel 9
My colleagues Jesus Rodriguez and Dwight Goins were talking about many of challenges you might find for managing WCF services in the enterprise, and how SO-Aware can help you out in all those aspects. Check it out here.
Visualizing Service Dependencies in SO-Aware
A common requirement that we received from some customers while we were in the early design stages of SO-Aware was the ability of tracking static dependencies between services. For instance, Service A calls Service B and Service B calls Service X. This feature is not only useful for documentation but also for helping administrators to determine which services are going to affected with a change in one of the existing service. (In that example, a change in the service X would affect Service A and B).

New restaurant coming to Miller Bakery Cafe site
By Michael GOnzalez Post-Tribune correspondent December 8, 2012 11:18PM
The former Miller Bakery Cafe is seen on Lake Street in the Miller section of Gary, Ind. Wednesday December 5, 2012. A public notice of application for alcoholic beverage permit is currently posted in the window with the applicant name of The Strode Restaurant Group, Inc. | Stephanie Dowell~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 10, 2013 6:20AM
GARY — New owners may soon breathe new life into the shuttered Miller Bakery Cafe.
Jack Strode and Diana Twyman, a Miller resident, could not be reached for comment, but they are the owners of The Strode Restaurant Group, a newly formed company with a mailing address in Miller.
An orange placard on the picture window of the venerable restaurant, 555 S. Lake St., indicates the owners have applied for a liquor application. Their hearing will be Jan. 13.
Joe VanDyk, Gary's zoning administrator, said Wednesday no one has applied for a business license to reopen the restaurant, but it is not uncommon for owners to await the outcome of a liquor license hearing.
Former owner and chef Gary Sanders, who also owns Bartlett's, a restaurant in Beverly Shores, closed Miller Bakery Cafe in 2010 after a 21-year run.
The restaurant was a popular eatery and lounge and even drew the attention of the popular PBS television program "Check Please!"
Prior to the restaurant opening in the mid-1980s, the building was a bakery, serving customers for 45 years beginning in 1941.

Commodity accepted by general consent as a medium of economic exchange. It is the medium in which prices and values are expressed; it circulates from person to person and country to country, thus facilitating trade. Throughout history various commodities have been used as money, including seashells, beads, and cattle, but since the 17th century the most common forms have been metal coins, paper notes, and bookkeeping entries. In standard economic theory, money is held to have four functions: to serve as a medium of exchange universally accepted in return for goods and services; to act as a measure of value, making possible the operation of the price system and the calculation of cost, profit, and loss; to serve as a standard of deferred payments, the unit in which loans are made and future transactions are fixed; and to provide a means of storing wealth not immediately required for use. Metals, especially gold and silver, have been used for money for at least 4,000 years; standardized coins have been minted for perhaps 2,600 years. In the late 18th and early 19th century, banks began to issue notes redeemable in gold or silver, which became the principal money of industrial economies. Temporarily during World War I and permanently from the 1930s, most nations abandoned the gold standard. To most individuals today, money consists of coins, notes, and bank deposits. In terms of the economy, however, the total money supply is several times as large as the sum total of individual money holdings so defined, since most of the deposits placed in banks are loaned out, thus multiplying the money supply several times over. See also soft money.

My husband is painting primer over new drywall (an entire house remodel), and the Sherwin Williams product we're using is not covering very thoroughly. Is it necessary to put on a second coat before applying our actual paint?
I know you're always supposed to prime the walls, but I'm not sure the exact reason for doing so, so I don't know how important it is to have a good solid coat of primer. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can have a full coat of primer without it covering well. A primers job is not to cover. The reason you prime is to seal. Drywall is porous and especially at the joints where there is compound is very porous. The primer sinks into those areas so that when you paint over it, you are painting over a sealed surface instead of an uneven porous one. That said, some primers will cover better than others. Cheap PVA primers will not cover well. Also, the application technique and size of sleeve used can also be a factor. |
I had a painter give me an estimate to paint living room and he said he does not need to put primer on wall because I will be using the same color which is off white. Problem is walls have not been painted in 15 years and I feel that the one coat he is proposing will just sink into wall. Any comments will be appreciated. Volvo |
paintguy.....thanks for the speedy reply. My husband is heading over to paint at our new house right now. Thanks for the explanation too. Just curious though....I don't know all of the acronyms you experienced people use.....what does PVA stand for? (Don't laugh!) :-) volvo 85.....I would think your painter is correct when he says you don't need a primer. Even though the paint is old, if the walls have been painted before, I don't think you need a primer unless you've done a lot of patching and have new drywall mud. But the pros here will hopefully give you a better answer. You may, however, need 2 coats, depending on what paint you use and how it covers. |

Poly-Vinyl-Acetate; the same stuff that Elmer's glue consists of, so it has ample adhesion qualities, and dries very hard and sandable very quickly. Sand with 150 grit to take off the drywall paper "whiskers". You could then re-prime with ordinary primer for coverage (primer's cheaper than paint) and use a single coat of finish paint, esp. if you have the "real" primer tinted. Casey |
Good idea to re-prime using a tinted primer. Then we'd only need 1 topcoat and save some money. Thanks for the definition of PVA. Don't know if our Sherwin Williams primer has that or not. |
What exact primer are ya using?? Volvo- Fiddle- Faron |
Don't have the exact name of the primer.....it's over at the other house. But it's the SW $18.99 a gallon drywall primer. We're using that on all of the new drywall, except for the areas that have stains, for which we're using Cover Stain. The primer is not completely covering everything, but I think there is enough on there to at least seal the walls in prep for a topcoat. Faron..... okay! :-) 2 topcoats it is!! Thanks! |

Cheap Ink Cartridges - Refill Ink Cartridges
Budget compatible toner cartridges are made specifically for customers where reducing cost is paramount.
Certain components in the toner are only designed to work for one full life cycle and therefore the cartridge cannot be recycled after use.
The toner powder in a Budget cartridge is of a lower grade than the toner powder in a Premium cartridge but you can rest assured that the print quality is guaranteed to provide crisp and sharp text.
Premium compatible toner cartridges are the highest quality compatible toners that are available to buy.
They are remanufactured original cartridges that have had parts replaced to ensure the utmost standard of reliability while the highest grade of toner powder is used to guarantee that print reproduction is as good as an original cartridge.
Every Premium compatible toner cartridge is checked and tested prior to dispatch.
An Original cartridge is a brand new product made by the same company as the maker of your machine.

Chassis Management Module fails firmware update - IBM Flex SystemSourceRETAIN tip: H207095 SymptomA firmware update fails on an IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) running firmware earlier than 2PET10K with one of the following errors:
The Standby CMM posts the following in the Primary CMM Event log:
The CMM shows less than 250 megabytes (MB) Total Space, fails the firmware update, and displays the error:
The CMM's total space can be seen from the following path:
Affected configurationsThe system may be any of the following IBM servers:
The system is configured with one or more of the following IBM Options:
This tip is not software specific. SolutionThis issue only affects CMMs running firmware prior to Build ID: 2PET10K. Although it is safe to run this utility, the utility provided below will not install on CMMs running firmware Build ID: 2PET10Q or later because it is not needed. If the CMM is running firmware prior to Build ID: 2PET10K, follow the procedure below: Update the CMM with the emergency fix utility and then flash the CMM firmware to the desired level. Note: The utility should be run individually on each CMM. If a secondary CMM is installed, it will have to become primary and the utility should be run on that CMM in order for it to take effect.
Additional InformationThis issue is caused by a mis-configured memory partition in the Chassis Management Module (CMM). It is recommended to run the fix utility before updating CMM firmware for the first time. If there are two (2) CMMs present in the chassis, run the utility on each before updating CMM firmware. It is possible that partition 2 (containing the main CMM firmware '.uxp' file) is full. The CMM has a built-in partition cleaner that runs every few minutes. It may experience firmware failures if the user executes multiple firmware updates back to back right after the utility is run. Allow 30 minutes to an hour before attempting to flash another firmware version. For additional information on using the update command, refer to the CMM CLI Guide that comes with the CMM firmware update package.

People say: I'm creative, an artist, weird, funny and crazy. I still don't know how to react to these statements but I personally think they're positive.
I say: I'm just open-minded, young and confused, curious and interested, excited and scared all at the same time. I look at the world from a rose-tinted window and I need to be hit in the head occasionally. I believe in love, change, and hope! My sex does not determine the way I dress but it does determine my heart. I am comfortable with who I am. ;)
I like cats and fishes. I like to make songs to sing and play the guitar. I love to bask in the sun and relax under the night sky. Oh, who likes to eat?
I used to Cosplay, play games 24/7 and only stand to get food. Not anymore.
I want to be a vocalist/songwriter/photographer/cook. I want to change peoples lives with my God-given talents. I want to try bungee jumping, white water rafting, parashooting, and girly outfits Hah!
Me as a Photographer: I like to shoot with ambient/available light. If ever I work with lights I prefer the experimental approach. I like to use photography as a medium of my artistic expression and interpretation, documentation and communication.
Type of work: Conceptual, Surreal, Journalistic and Fine Art.
I'd like to try: Underwater, Highspeed, and Time-lapse Photography.
My tools of trade: Nikon D60 | 50mm 1.4 | 18-55mm (kit lens) | 55-200mm | C-Polarizing Filter | I hope I can add prime lenses and a full frame d800 or D600 :)

Sunday (on Monday) Round-up 4
Yesterday I was distracted by the egg-laying earwig (amongst other things) and completely forgot about the Sunday Round-up.
Delayed a day, this is the Sunday Round-up:
◊ Every entomological institute should be digitizing their collections:
Scientists at the Illinois Natural History Survey in Champaign, part of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois, are getting ready to digitize biological collections to make them more accessible to researchers and the public.
They will be sharing $2.6 million out of $10 million in grants from the National Science Foundation to begin photographing specimens and creating a digital collection.
Most of the grant funds — $2.3 million — will go to create InvertNet, a cooperative effort among 13 institutions across the upper Midwest to create a virtual museum with 56 million specimens.
◊ The Northwest Dragonflier has a post on the little mites so often seen on dragonflies and damselflies.
◊ Where have all the moths gone? Conservation Magazine in the UK looks at a recent review examining the decline of macro moths.
◊ Life magazine has a gallery featuring the author Vladimir Nabokov, whose second passion was butterflies. Visit the gallery that shows a series of photographs of Nobokov collecting butterflies, beginning in 1958.
- Read more on Nabokov's entomological pursuits at the New York Public Library.
- And an article on recent science: Nabokov Theory on Butterfly Evolution Is Vindicated by Carl Zimmer
◊ Quote of the Week,
In recognition of the importance of taxonomy:
Dark pictures, thrones, the stones that pilgrims kiss
Poems that take a thousand years to die
But ape the immortality of this
Red label on a little butterfly.
Vladimir Nabokov, "A Discovery" (December 1941); published as "On Discovering a Butterfly" in The New Yorker (15 May 1943)

Hello 2012!
No major resolutions here, no list of top ten photographs and blog posts. I will be re-blogging the most popular Bug Whisperer posts and photographs throughout the winter, and with seasonal holidays still in swing, family fun will be trumping blog time. Splendor is still a-waiting, so to speak.
What I will be doing this year is perhaps counter-intuitive for someone who has just launched a website: I'll be blogging less and reading and learning more. I will be processing (and re-processing) images to place in galleries on this site. I also need to come to grips with a few subjects : learning basic entomology; learning how to painlessly feed the social web monster; writing full-length articles; developing a photo-competition and, most nerve-wracking for me, doing some public speaking. I also have some ideas for new features for the website, which will take some time to organize. Most of all, when spring arrives, I have to do more of what I love: spending time in the wild, finding more bugs and taking better photographs of them.
For now, its back to some basic Sunday link-love. With the success of Google+ (you can find me here) I am wondering how long this type of link-sharing post will be necessary. Not only that, as Google+ becomes more sophisticated, will it eventually supplant blogs altogether?
Slim pickin's this Sunday, but here are a few buggy links from the old year:
◊ Kevin Zelnio, of Deep Sea News, goes all terrestrial on us and blogs bugs. See his post at EvoEcoLab on jumping spiders (yah!) and population connectivity. Of course, he still manages to bring sinking ships, shark infested waters and islands into the picture…
◊ Reminiscent of the people of the two Korea's, two species of millipedes in Tasmania stay on either side of a distinct line that separates the two populations. Oddly enough, this line does not necessarily follow geographic features… Visit Science Daily for an overview, and/or read the original research, free (!) at ZooKeys.
◊ Two of our favorite entomologist-bloggers have posted on their top photos of 2011. Visit Alex Wild's The Best of Myrmecos and Ted MacRae's Best of BitB for some of the best bug photography from 2011.
◊ Up here in Alberta, bugs and winter are two subjects that seem to have no common ground. But head over to the Home Bug Garden to see how an enterprising acarologist fends off seasonal buglessness…
◊ And speaking of winter buggy doldrums…the man at Booger County (not those boogers, the other booger…) keeps himself busy by keying-out saved specimens. Go walk along with him as he analyzes a damselfly. A good idea for those of us on the enthusiast side of entomology, especially if you can get hold of the keys…
◊ And last but not least, a site for moth people, and those who want to do something different with their flat-bed scanners. Visit Jim des Rivieres' Moth Images for more.

Such a high percentage of my plants are Aroids, I realize as I learn more about my plants. Something about leaves that unroll? Attempting to list them would be troublesome... and entail running back'n'forth to the porch a bunch'a times. They're like potato chips, you just want more! Does anybody have just one? If so, what IS it? |

I know what you mean. I force myself to add other plants and flowers to my garden because everything would be Aroids or foliage plants otherwise. |
thats funny aroidgardener..a friend and fellow garden enthusiast came over the other day..she said "what no flowers?" LOL i have 30+ bananas,100s of EE, 30+ amorphs..etc.. but i did jump in and say.. "i have zinnias!" :) for me..there are several levels of challenge in sucessfully growing aroids.. some are very easy..and spectacular..others are very difficult to grow .even in a greenhouse situation..and thats what i love about aroids if i want to be challenged..theres an aroid out there for me.. :) |

I love this family and I dont even have any! I did some googling last night, what a fascinating family! So many genera and species, and they look so luxurious! There's even a species growing wild here in England, in the woods near me! But the most amazing revelation for me was that duckweed, that green stuff covering ponds, is an Arum!! |
- Posted by grabmebymyhandle none (My Page) on Sun, Oct 14, 12 at 23:17
Basically to me everything about them is amazing, I like to think of the days when aroids ruled the earth... If theres tropical holdovers from the past that still produce single leaves 20+ feet across, just imagine the beasts that once were... I really enjoy they way EE's and amorph's or any bulb producing aroid has the ability to produce tremendous amounts of plant material in a single season, and then at the first sign of frost, it quite literally melts away, only to re-emerge and grow a foot a day. Lets not forget gutation... crying plants are neat...but when i saw my C. fontanesii launching small raindrops from the leaf tip...well I was blown away. Every visitor here in the summer gets to see spitting elephant ears, fun stuff! I went from growing cacti and succulents almost exclusively to totally hooked on aroids... its the sole reason I joined this forum... I NEED MORE... :D |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 20:17
There's no cure for it, no rehab centres, no counselling available, it's just a slippery slope down. All you'll get is other addicts encouraging and pressuring you to get more, LOL |
- Posted by grabmebymyhandle none (My Page) on Fri, Oct 19, 12 at 2:34
I wish I had addict friends pushin aroids on me, my friends wont even chip in when I buy enough to share... The new guy really didnt want to be the one to point out that they have penis' , pretty impressive for a plant I think, even if some have a deformed penis... |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Oct 19, 12 at 5:14
Well ..... that's one way of looking at it, LOL. |

Hey who started this lame thread? Oh, I did. It's about time someone pointed out the phallic fixation thing. Was about to think I'd have to do it myself! |

Its the main thing my friends notice, I commonly hear "hows the penis plants" ;D |

Apply 2 - 3 pumps of Kinerase HydraBoost Intensive Treatment all over face in the morning and/or evening before your favorite Kinerase moisturizer to enhance the effectiveness of the Kinerase products.

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