Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Freddy!
Facts about Freddy
- Breed: Turkish Angora
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Freddy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
FREDDY is a gorgeous, very affectionate cat. He's estimated to be 1 1/2 -2 yrs. old, is easygoing, gentle & a lapsitter! He sports a grey/white cap on his head and a fluffy tail that is shaded in grey...very unique looking! Freddy still has alot of kitten playfulness & enjoys the company of other cats ...he adjusts quickly without so much as a hiss. He'd love a home where he'd have another cat companion and is closely bonded with "Hunter"...they'd love to stay together!
While Freddy is definitely a "mix", he has many of the qualities of the breed. Elegant, finely-boned creatures, Turkish Angoras are graceful, energetic and usually the first to welcome visitors into your home. It is also not unusual for a Turk to act as the "host" at a party, inspecting and interacting with every guest. It is no wonder that they are often considered "dog-like!" .
The Turkish Angora's soft, silky coat rarely mats and requires only minimal grooming although it is recommended that combing once or twice a week will keep the coat looking and feeling its best.

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

LinuxCon Presentations Available Online
End of September was a meeting of open source experts in Portland, Oregon and Linux Pro Magazine was there with its video camera. Linus Torvalds and developer colleagues at the kernel roundtable, the hotly debated keynote by Mark Shuttleworth and all other presentations are available in our video archives.
The Linux Foundation staged its first conference, LinuxCon in Portland OR, a three-day meeting of kernel developers, community managers, organizations, managers, admins and users. A highpoint of the conference was the panel discussion of kernel developers, moderated by James Bottomley, requesting pertinent questions from the audience to draw Linus Torvalds out of his reserv. Flanked by Chris Wright, Ted T'so, Greg Koah-Hartman and Jonathan Corbet, the Linux founder spoke of his joy at working and arguing, what the kernel was missing and his plans for the future. Bottomley reformulated a presentation by Ted Ts'o jokingly with the headline "Microsoft Certifies Linux Development Model."
The kernel hackers even had an answer to the famous question "Will next year be the year of Linux on the desktop?" IBM's Bob Sutor and Intel's Dirk Hohndel also had contributions on that subject in their keynotes.
In the final keynote, "Let's Get Together," Ubuntu founder and Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth gave his perspective on coordinated software releases, design and quality. His witty remark that Linux was "hard to explain to girls" also elicited an open letter from geekfeminist Kirrily Robert.
All the presentations from the three-day conference are available as streaming videos for a cost of $49. The keynotes and roundtable with Torvalds are free.

Egg, Brooklyn
Most of the ingredients at this diner in downtown Williamsburg come from its own six-acre, organic farm located 2.5 hours north and provide fresh flavors for the various breakfast and lunch dishes. The menu includes classic dishes with upscale twists, such as duck hash, caramelized grapefruit with mint, and signature Eggs Rothko—a thick slice of brioche topped with an easy-cooked fried egg and melted cheddar. The richness of the meals contrasts with the bare white walls and simple wood tables in the narrow dining area but accounts for Egg's immense popularity, especially during weekends.

Two Ohio Men Declared Innocent of 1988 Murder
Posted: May 14, 2014 2:26 pm
Two Ohio men were declared innocent of a 1988 murder in a civil proceeding after a judge ruled there was never evidence that proved otherwise. Randy Resh and Bob Gondor maintained their innocence for more than 25 years. The ruling entitles the men to petition the Ohio Court of Claims for compensation.
The Akron Beacon Journal reported that retired Summit County Judge Marvin Shapiro said Resh and Gondor were wrongfully convicted of the attempted rape and murder of 31-year-old Connie Nardi but didn't comment beyond his 18-page decision. In that decision, the judge wrote in capital letters: "THERE IS NO PHYSICAL OR FORENSIC EVIDENCE OF ANY KIND IN THIS CASE THAT WOULD LINK EITHER OR BOTH PLAINTIFFS TO THE NARDI HOMICIDE."
The men were convicted based largely on information received from Troy Busta, who is still in prison for the crime. Shapiro noted in his decision that Busta's testimony was full of inconsistencies and was unreliable. He also found that the timeline from the night of the crime shows the pair could not have committed the crime.
Despite the evidence supporting the men's innocence, Portage County Prosecutor Victor V. Vigluicci said late Monday afternoon that he doesn't agree with Shapiro's findings.
Resh and Gondor are now eligible to go to the Ohio Court of Claims to seek compensation from the state for their wrongful convictions.

By 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in urban areas. The largest migration of people in human history is taking place, from rural areas to cities – cities must provide the solutions that will make us more resilient, healthy and sustainable.
Bristol joins the roll-call of cities across the world working hard to find the solutions and I am very pleased to announce that the 52nd International Making Cities Livable Conference will take place in Bristol on June 29 – July 3, 2015.
Having been awarded European Green Capital 2015, the theme of this year's conference 'Achieving Green Healthy Cities' is an important one for Bristol. This award was a momentous achievement for Bristol and together as a city we are working to change the way people think about what we value.
Bristol is already a byword for 'green city'; it has the highest rate of commuting on foot and by bike of any local authority in England and Wales, one third of Bristol is 'green and blue' open space, waste produced by citizens has reduced by 27%, recycling and composting has gone from 13% to 50%, and over 50,000 residents each year are involved in green initiatives and groups, and growing.
The ideas and innovations of Achieving Green Healthy Cities are essential for making our cities 'fit for life' and sustainable for the future. Bristol is a living laboratory for green ideas and I'm delighted that we have the chance to host the IMCL Conference. I welcome you to Bristol and invite everyone to take part in a unique opportunity to inspire us all to innovate, grow and improve the quality of life, in the UK and worldwide.
George Ferguson, CBE Mayor of Bristol

Join AIANY Technology Committee for a conversation with Peter Yeadon, AIA.
Nanotechnology involves the observation and manipulation of matter at the scale of individual molecules. Its products are functional systems that operate at the very root of substances, allowing us to create new materials and devices with unprecedented properties and performance. Because its fundamental objective is the complete control of matter, nanotechnology is considered to be a disruptive field that offers numerous disciplines new paradigms for shaping our physical reality. In architecture, as in most sectors, it is expected to spur invention in a manner that surpasses mere incremental innovation, and form the basis for the next industrial revolution.
This presentation will provide an introduction to nanotechnology, and some of the products of nanotechnology that are already being used in architecture. From smog-eating facades, fire resistant coatings, and biomimetic surfaces, to antimicrobial environments, energy harvesters, and smart materials, we will learn about nanotech's discreet emergence in architecture through the manufactured products it utilizes. We will also learn about some advanced materials that are already being exploited by other design disciplines, and technologies that are poised for application in the built environment. We will also witness some recent materials research that focuses on energy, water, health, and environmental issues. The presentation will conclude with new material discoveries and molecular machines that offer designers a future of promise and problems.
Peter Yeadon AIA, Principal, Yeadon Space Agency, NYC, and Professor, Rhode Island School of Design Peter Yeadon is Principal at Yeadon Space Agency in New York City. He is known for his pursuit of new applications for advanced materials in architecture and design, particularly smart materials, biomaterials, and nanomaterials with novel properties. He is also a Professor at Rhode Island School of Design, where he has taught courses on smart materials and nanomaterials since 2002. He and his students investigate the properties of these materials, discover their capabilities, devise applications for them, and fabricate prototypes that demonstrate their potential. Prior to his appointment at RISD, Yeadon taught at Cornell University and the University of Toronto.

The American Institute of Architects' Portland chapter this fall will host a home tour highlighting urban infill projects.
The self-guided "AIA Portland Homes Tour: Crafted + Creative Urban Infill" will take place on Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and feature eight contemporary homes in the city, said Amy Dragon, membership director for AIA Portland. A committee of AIA members selected the homes – all completed either this year or last year – as prime examples of custom urban infill projects designed in harmony with inner Portland neighborhoods, she said.
The tour is open to the public, but it's especially valuable to members of the Portland-area design community, Dragon said.
"It's a great opportunity for architects to go see what their peers are feeling are examples of good design," she said.
Tour participants will receive a printed booklet with maps and descriptions of each home. The projects' owners or architects will be available during the tour to answer questions.
Tickets are $40 and can be purchased online at aiaportland.org.

The American city of the 1960s and 1970s experienced seismic physical changes and social transformations, from urban decay and political protests to massive highways that threatened vibrant neighborhoods. Nowhere was this sense of crisis more evident than in the country's three largest cities: New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Yet in this climate of uncertainty and upheaval, the streets and neighborhoods of these cities offered places where a host of different actors—photographers, artists, filmmakers, planners, and activists—could transform these conditions of crisis into opportunities for civic discourse and creative expression.
The City Lost and Found is the first exhibition to explore this seminal period through the emergence of new photographic and cinematic practices that reached from the art world to the pages of Life magazine. Instead of aerial views and sweeping panoramas, photographers and filmmakers turned to in-depth studies of streets, pedestrian life, neighborhoods, and seminal urban events, like Bruce Davidson's two-year study of a single block in Harlem, East 100th Street (1966–68). These new forms of photography offered the public a complex image of urban life and experience while also allowing architects, planners, and journalists to imagine and propose new futures for American cities.
Drawn from the Art Institute's holdings, as well as from more than 30 collections across the United States, this exhibition brings together a large range of media, from slideshows and planning documents to photo collage and artist books. The City Lost and Found showcases important bodies of work by renowned photographers and photojournalists such as Thomas Struth, Martha Rosler, and Barton Silverman, along with artists known for their profound connections to place, such as Romare Bearden in New York and ASCO in Los Angeles. In addition, projects like artist Allan Kaprow's Chicago happening, Moving, and architect Shadrach Wood's hybrid plan for SoHo demonstrate how photography and film were used in unconventional ways to make critical statements about the stakes of urban change. Blurring traditional boundaries between artists, activists, planners, and journalists, The City Lost and Found offers an unprecedented opportunity to experience the deep interconnections between art practices and the political, social, and geographic realities of American cities in the 1960s and 1970s.
The City Lost and Found: Capturing New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, 1960–1980is organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Princeton University Art Museum.
Both the private and philanthropic sectors are increasingly important to major public building projects as foundations, investment banks, private equity firms, and individual corporations become directly involved in re-shaping our cities. As this trend increases, so too do questions about public participation and overall effectiveness.

John Delaney (D-MD) is invited to give remarks and incoming APA president William Anderson, FAICP, moderates a panel discussion.
$10 Museum or APA member & Student, $15 Non-member. Prepaid registration required. Walk-in registration based on availability.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Registration is for event planning purposes only and does not guarantee a seat. Online registration for Museum programs closes at midnight the day before the scheduled program.
The Museum's award-winning Shop and Firehook Café are open for one hour prior to the start of the program. Shop and Café hours are subject to change.

This year's Urban Encounters symposium looks at the visual manifestations and effects of movement, mobility and migration on the historic and contemporary city. Over two days, an international line up of artists, academics, and researchers reflect on the nature of flow and flux through and between city spaces with a variety of topics including economic mobility, labour movements, borders, and the migration of things and people.
In addition to a series of panels and presentations, this year's symposium features half a day of workshops, seminars and walks, led by speakers and organisers. Participants will be contacted closer to the event to select from these activities.
The series of panels focuses on the experiences of people and communities, built and architectural environments, urban landscapes, performativity and how material cultures reflect the possibilities and challenges that redefine how we understand the changing faces of everyday urban life. The workshops, seminars and walks provide a more intimate context through which to directly explore and discuss the ideas and themes of the symposium.
This symposium is of particular interest to photographers, artists, film-makers, architects, sociologists, geographers and social researchers whose work addresses notions of social change and the decentring of urban life within an age of expanding globalisation and changing geographic boundaries.
Participants include Bradley Garrett, Paul Halliday, Prof Bill Marshall, Jennifer Bajorek, Paul Goodwin, Adam Kaasa, Xavier Ribas, Lia Chavez, David Kendall, Charlotte Cullinan and Jeanine Richards, as well as a keynote address on Friday by internationally renowned photographer, artist and director Nadav Kander.
Urban Encounters is part of Urban Photo Fest and is organised in partnership with the Centre for Urban and Community Research (CUCR), Goldsmiths, University of London; Kingston University, Oxford University and Openvizor.

Kings Canyon is part of the Watarrka National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. Sitting at the western end of the George Gill Range, Kings Canyon is approximately midway between Alice Springs and Uluru.
This ancient formation of tall red rock faces that soar above dense palm forests of palms is an important conservation area and refuge for more than 600 species of native plants and animals, many unique to the area. The soaring sandstone walls of Kings Canyon were formed when small cracks eroded over millions of years. Derived from an Aboriginal word referring to the umbrella bush that thrives here, the Luritja Aboriginal people have called the Watarrka National Park area home for more than 20,000 years.
Climb to the top of the rim of Kings Canyon at sunrise or sunset. The challenging six kilometer Kings Canyon Rim Walk takes around 3-4 hours. There are spectacular views of the gorge below and of the surrounding landscape. Take a guided rim walk with an Aboriginal elder and learn about the significance of the area to its traditional owners.
Descend to the canyon to the Garden of Eden, a permanent waterhole surrounded by lush plant life. Explore the unusual weathered rock formations known as The Lost City. For the less energetic, the shorter and easier Kings Creek Walk at the Canyon base leads you through lush ferns and eucalypts to a platform with views of the sheer canyon walls above. The 22-kilometre Giles Track that connects Kings Canyon to Kathleen Springs is popular with more adventurous hikers.
You could also explore the landscape from the back of a camel on a camel safari or tour Kings Creek Station, a real working outback cattle station, by four-wheel quad bike. To appreciate the true beauty and grandeur of Kings Canyon see it from above on a scenic helicopter flight.
The Red Centre Way drive connects Alice Springs, Uluru and Kings Canyon. It can be explored on your own on a self-drive itinerary, but there are long distances between major towns and attractions.
A good option for covering all the major sights comfortably is on one of the many well organized coach or private tours. An added advantage is that you can take your time to relax and enjoy the outback scenery. Expert guides will help you better understand this extraordinary part of Australia.
An excellent base for exploring the wonders of Alice Springs, Uluru and Kings Canyon is Kings Canyon Resort. The resort offers accommodation ranging from deluxe hotel rooms to budget backpacker-style lodge rooms as well as caravan and camping facilities. Experience the authentic outback and stay at Kings Canyon Wilderness Lodge, part of Kings Creek Station.
Kings Canyon is located approximately 300 km north east of Uluru and 450 km south west of Alice Springs. Ayers Rock and Alice Springs airports are around a three-hour flight from Sydney and Cairns or a two-hour flight from Darwin or Adelaide. The most comfortable time to visit is the cooler winter months between May-September.

Summary, etc.: | In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In this "Release 2.0 "edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession. The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources. "Hot, Flat, and Crowded" is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future. -- Back cover. Examines America's loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11, and the global environmental crisis, and shows how the solutions to these two problems are linked. |

Farm Camp at Crystal Spring Farm
Please specify a Flickr ID for this galleria
We inspire kids to care for farms, the earth, good eating and good times.
We welcome children ages 5-16 to join us on our family-run organic farm. Campers will experience the connections between growing and eating healthy foods and taking care of our bodies and our land.
After a morning welcome circle, we begin each day with animal chores, feeding and watering our lambs, pigs, and chickens. Over the course of the week we'll partake in the full process of raising vegetables, herbs, and flowers from soil preparation, direct seeding and transplanting, to watering, weeding, harvesting, washing, and of course eating! Kids will get dirty in our vegetable fields exploring how a seed turns into a head of lettuce and how many ladybugs live amongst the plants and weeds. We will taste food as fresh as can be. Each day will include rest and relaxing with stories after lunch, and we'll mix up the afternoons with various games, cooking with fresh produce, nature-inspired art, and creative explorations!
New for 2014!
We are excited to offer a junior apprenticeship for 10-12 year olds. For just one week this summer, kids can join our farm crew in the afternoon from 2:00-4:30 Monday-Friday. This program is created for those who are excited to get their hands dirty, use their body as well as their mind to learn about food production. Over the course of the week, kids will transplant seedlings, harvest produce, wash & prep produce, weed, partake in animal care, and jump into other projects that come up for the farm crew. They will work alongside veteran farmer Seth and our dynamic & bright full- time farm apprentices. This is a unique opportunity to acquire real understanding of agriculture , develop work skills, and build self-confidence. We are excited to teach kids who want to learn and the group will be small. Therefore we ask that only kids who express an enthusiastic interest enroll (as opposed to parents who want or hope their kids to be enthusiastic about the program.) Of course we're happy to discuss in further detail – be in touch by phone or email.
Junior Counselors!
Positions are available for 13-16 year olds to volunteer their time in exchange for experience gained with young children and farming. Can volunteer for one or more weeks. Those interested in learning more about the junior counselor positions or application for 13-16 year olds please click here or contact Maura at 729.1112 or email@example.com. Orientation will be held on Saturday June 28nd from 10-11 am.
All programs are full.
You are welcome to send me an email to be added to a wait list. Thank you!

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 Sheldon *VIDEO*!
Facts about Sheldon *VIDEO*
- Breed: Pomeranian Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Senior
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sheldon *VIDEO*'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
I'm a 10-year-old neutered male Pomeranian mix. I weigh about 7 pounds. I may not be a spring chicken anymore, but I still have a spring in my step! I'm actually quite spunky for an older fellow. I've got tons of love to share & I really enjoy going for walks. I like to snuggle & I get along great with other dogs. I'm potty trained, I ride nicely in the car & I'm always ready to sit in your lap. Sadly, my previous family didn't take care of my dental needs, so I don't have any teeth & I have to eat canned food. But otherwise my health is great & I'm ready to make the perfect little companion for one lucky family! So please contact CageFree if you'd like to adopt me!
Other Pets at CageFree K-9 Rescue Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sheldon *VIDEO*, a Los Angeles Pomeranian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pomeranian for sale in Los Angeles, or seeking a Pomeranian dog from a breeder in Los Angeles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Pomeranian breeders who help with Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Angeles paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yes, 0.019s is very little, but in this case I see absolutely no benefit whatsoever in calling python. Plus sh has the advantage of actually working when LC_ALL is exported as "" (which in LC_* means the same as having it unset)... But why exactly are you concerned about LC_* being defined but not exported anyway? You're checking from an ebuild; locales are going to get inherited from portage or profile.env anyway, so you can just assume that if they _are_ set, they're exported. The only way they might not be is if the user is messing with the locale from the bashrc, and if the user's doing that, the user really needs to fix the bashrc and export the vars anyway. None of this changes the fact that locale checks warns about bugs in packages, not bugs in the user's configuration.

Later that same year, in May, when Kennedy found himself criticized in a draft—yes, a draft—of a forthcoming Fortune cover story, he and Krock collaborated on a letter to the magazine's managing editor, Russell Davenport, listing what they termed to be its "statements" and offered "observations" and corrections before concluding that it would "be useless to attempt to revise a draft so permeated with bias and incompetence." Kennedy, with Krock's help, was rewarded with a brand new article to replace the old one. This one, Nasaw writes, was a "puff piece."
At the end of the decade, before it became clear that Roosevelt would break precedent and serve a third term, Kennedy, now FDR's ambassador to England, flirted with the idea of running himself. "I think it would be a very helpful thing if agitation could be started to have me address the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committee in Executive Session," he wrote Krock. "If you think this is worthwhile, you might start it in the works." Krock's response: The idea was "splendid… and I shall put it in the works. By the time you arrive, I think you will find every-thing ready…"
As part of his putative campaign, Kennedy tried to do both Krock and himself a favor by interceding in his behalf with the Times publishers to promote him to the top job. According to Harold Ickes (who was warning Roosevelt about the alleged plot), "It is reported that Kennedy has come to an understanding with Arthur Krock of the New York Times. It is expected that there will soon be a vacancy in the editorship… . Krock is doing all that he can to boost Kennedy and Kennedy is ready to support Krock financially if necessary."
Krock did not get the job—Kennedy attributed it to the old fear of a 'Jew in the showcase' nervousness of the Times's German-Jewish owners . Krock, meanwhile, continued to play publicity agent to his patron, albeit rather ungrammatically: "Your publicity continues good," he wrote Kennedy, "and on every hand one hears golden opinions of what you are doing."
And Kennedy's campaign, alas, never took place. His importance on the national stage began to diminish with the ascendance of those of his second son, Jack. Krock continued to offer to help him both by pretending his pronouncements regarding national affairs were worthy of significant Times coverage, but more importantly, by far, by helping Jack's career. The first boost came when, at Joe Kennedy's request, to "go over it," and "let his agent handle the publication" of Why England Slept. Next, in May 1956, JFK was, rather shockingly, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in biography for Profiles in Courage. Krock would later credit himself for convincing the jurors of the book's merit. (In a recently published oral history, Jackie Kennedy complains about Ted Sorensen taking credit around town for having written the book for Kennedy, so it's hard to know what, in fact, its putative author had to do with it.)
What is perhaps most shocking about the arrangement between Kennedy and Krock was how open and unashamed it was. Interestingly, no mention of Kennedy's relationship with Krock was made in either of the two reviews published of Nasaw's biography in the Paper of Record. The Times has repeatedly expressed its regret over its Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of Joseph Stalin by the notorious liar, Walter Duranty, during the 1930s, once it was revealed just how compromised his reporting had been. Perhaps, in light of the evidence turned up by Nasaw, another such statement of regret—if not apology—regarding Krock's coverage of Kennedy-related matters might also be order.
It goes without saying that much has changed about the mores of journalism. Today's top journalists have their own arrangements, of course. When, in the opening of the new Netflix series, House of Cards, an ambitious young female reporter offers the Speaker of the House a deal in which she promises to print whatever he wants her to print, the way he wants her to print it, no questions asked—all the while revealing more and more of her impressive cleavage—the notion that such a conversation might actually take place did not exactly strain credulity. We are, thankfully, through with the Arthur Krocks of the journalistic world. Whether we are really through with the kind of journalism they produced is a question for another essay.

One of Puppy Parlor suppliers, Prairie Lane Kennel - operated by Dennis and Donna Van Wyk (see 2006 & 2007 CAPS investigations) - expose their dogs to the elements in rickety outdoor pens covered with feces. CAPS has investigated the Van Wyk's mill several times over the years and the conditions these dogs live in are not only appalling but in violation of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). USDA inspections show that they repeatedly fail to keep their facilities free of rust and clean – not to mention the lack of veterinary care. CAPS footage appears in the Dateline report "A Dog's Life" from 2000, which won a Genesis award.
Puppy Parlor obtains their dogs from several other places, most of them shady brokers and known puppy mills. They might argue that one bad breeder doesn't mean they get all their pups from mills, unfortunately, the Van Wyks are not the exception but the norm. They use two brokers, J.A.K.'s Puppies and Oleo Acres, notorious for using puppy mills as their suppliers. To make matters worse, according to the Chicago Tribune, the drivers from Oleo Acres, operated by Patti Noethe, were arrested for animal cruelty in 2012. Doug and Wendy Dettbarn, one of J.A.K.'s suppliers, have several repeat violations and damning USDA inspection photos. The pictures reveal dogs with green, crusty gunk around the eyes, engorged growths, and severe matting. In some cases, the mothers developed huge masses on their mammary glands from the constant breeding. One of Dettbarn/J.A.K.'s dogs was a sick purchase for the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against Happiness Is Pets, another one of CAPS campaigns.
"What is going on in that back room? Show the public the back room," says Ida McCarthy, CAPS Chicago Campaign Coordinator echoing the concerns of those who have been to the shop. According to Illinois Department of Agriculture statistics, the pet shop at one time had up to 50 puppies in their small suburban strip mall location. These dogs are stuffed in an area out of sight from the public, presumably in a place that would otherwise be a storeroom. For Puppy Parlor it is not enough to buy from these cruel places, they also seem eager to join the commercial breeding ranks. CAPS will hold regular peaceful protests to urge Puppy Parlor to go humane and stop their backroom breeding. After numerous consumer complaints and concrete evidence of their support of the puppy mill cycle, the store refuses to change their ways. With support from the community, CAPS will engage the potential customers and educate them about the harsh realities behind the puppy in the window.

hi - my morning glory always looks like this (click link below) after winter but there is normally life running through it and it becomes completely full again in spring. however, we had a colder winter than usual and the only signs of life are in the runners next to the ground. someone suggested that i could just leave the dead vine for the new growth to climb on. would this be best or should i just cut all the dead back and start all over ? any green in the photo is from other plant life. - thanks, brian |

Hie Brian - could you post a closeup of the flowers and/or the leaves of the plant in question...I did look at the photo that you linked to,but I can't descern anything that I can positively identify as any type of morning glory... What species is the plant suppossed to be...(?)... Thanks(!)... Ron |
- Posted by bobbymacbean (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 17:53
sorry - guess i should have been more descriptive. all of the brown in the picture is the actual vine - normally some or all of it survives the winter and it exhibits new growth in spring and becomes completely full again. this year it appears that only the vine on the ground survived and is now sending out runners but the vine in the picture which is off of the ground appears to be completely dead. again, the question is, do i cut back the dead and completely start over or will leaving the dead vine for the new growth to climb up on help get up and full again ? the objective is to get it to climb up the trellis ( for lack of better description ) and climb over the rose to create a screen on the side and a canopy over the top for my entryway. i have been growing this for six years now and last year the m-g was halfway across the rose. i hate having to start all over again and want the m-g to come back and fill in as quickly as possible. sorry if this comes across as rambling. this is a pic of leaves from the new growth - i don't know the species - flower is blue/purple - leaves this is a pic of the entryway from the front to give you a better idea about the canopy concept - entry canopy thanks, brian - aka/rambling rose (;> |

Hey Brian - Sounds like you most probably have Ipomoea indica...although your being listed as a zone 8 was a bit equivocal... It's really up to you if you want to cut the old browned vines off or not...if you don't mind the way the older stems look >they probably would provide for a natural trellising and make it easy for the new growth to climb...or you could remove them and replace it with some netting for a trellis... Does your plant produce any seeds(?)...most Ipomoea indica are too clonal to be sufficiently self-fertile to produce seeds,but sometimes a few seeds are produced from self-fertilization or by cross pollination from an I.indica plant from different clonal stock... I'd be interested to trade you for a couple seeds if your plant produces any... Send me anm e-mail for further details... Hope the plant continues to do well for you... Talk to you... Ron |

Turbocharger Market By Vehicle Types (Passenger & Commercial), Fuel Types (Diesel & Gasoline) & Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts To 2017
Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Automotive turbochargers are forced induction systems which compress air entering into the engine by utilizing the heat energy of exhaust gases. These devices introduce greater volumes of air into the engine cylinder thus making available more air-fuel mixture in each cylinder during power stroke of an engine; which in-turn boosts its performance. A turbocharged engine offers many advantages such as increased power output, improved power to weight ratio and vehicle efficiency, and also helps in engine downsizing. Turbochargers can also be classified based on fuel types as gasoline and diesel turbocharger which are used for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Variable geometry technology preferred for turbocharged engines employed in passenger cars The turbochargers use three basic technologies namely VGT, wastegate, and twin turbo. Turbocharger manufacturers have their own patented advancements in these three key technologies. Variable Geometry Turbochargers technology is widely adopted in passenger cars whereas Wastegate turbo is widely used in commercial vehicles. The report estimates the market size of gasoline and diesel turbocharger industry for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The report provides a comprehensive review of market drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and forecasted for major regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW). Major countries with the market volume and revenue are covered for each of the region. The top players of the industry are profiled in detail with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

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 Pops!
Facts about Pops
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Senior
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Pops's Info...
I am housetrained, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Poor Pops was so matted when he came in we could not tell rather he was male or female, that's why his hair is so short. He is so, so sweet he is very calm and laid back. He would do best in a quite home so he can enjoy his peaceful days.
Other Pets at Meriwether County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pops, a Greenville Poodle (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Greenville, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Greenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greenville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greenville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greenville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Among other things he Concentration Liaison serves as the point person for students with questions about the concentration. While our students don't require a faculty member's signature to declare a concentration, the person in the Liaison role must still be knowledgeable regarding the curriculum (especially the courses making up the IM concentration) and willing to spend time chatting with undergraduates. I don't think it's a huge time burden, as IM is a small concentration, but there will likely be some students with questions.

I have a pellet stove that was purchased and installed Oct 2012. The past week it has been making a weird noise when it feeds pellets to the dish. It's not constant, seems to be about 50% of the feeds. If you look at the back, it has the round thing that turns as the pellets are being fed, appears to be where the sound is coming from. To me, first thing that comes to mind is static. My endeavors to discover the source and fix it have thus gone no where. |

RANCHI: As part of their economic blockade in protest against the "negligent attitude" in Dinesh Trivedi's railway budget, BJP members led by their state president Dineshanand Goswami marched to Ranchi railway station and stopped a coal-laden goods train that was on its way to Rourkela from Rajrappa for at least two hours on Thursday morning.
The main opposition party at the Centre started a three-hour economic blockade across the state. Goswami said, "The UPA government has cheated the people of Jharkhand which does not have sufficient railway links to other parts of the country."
In Ranchi, the blockade began around 10.45 am and ended at 1 pm but without disrupting movement of passenger or express trains, said A K Das, the divisional security commissioner of Ranchi.
In neighbouring Ramgarh district, hundreds of BJP activists, including former MLA Shankar Chaudhary, entered Barkakana station with party flags and forcibly stopped the Palamu Express for sometime. The protesters were taken into custody by GRP to clear the tracks on the Muri-Barkakana and Gomoh-Barkakana routes. Barkakana GRP OC P K Sinha said that the protesters were brought to police station which was a part of preventive measure to ensure movement of train. "Rail traffic was not affected due to the blockade," Sinha said.
The symbolic three-hour blockade marginally affected rail movement in the mineral-rich Chakradharpur division of South Eastern Railway (SER). The blockade - spread across Kolhan division's three districts Seraikela-Kharsawan, East and West Singhbhum - hit movement of goods trains. Several goods trains were detained at Chakuliya, Ghatshila, Tatanagar, Seraikela, Chandil and Chaibasa among other stations. "The protest was successful. Over a dozen goods trains were stopped by the BJP activists at different railway stations in the Kolhan division," said BJP state committee spokesman Amarpreet Singh Kale.
In West Singhbhum, party workers staged dharna at Chaibasa. "On an average, 20 goods trains cross Chaibasa between 10 am and 1 pm daily but due to the blockade none of the trains could run on this route for over three hours," said West Singhbhum district BJP president Sanjeev Pandey. In East Singhbum, the party claimed to have stopped over six goods trains at Ghatshila and Tatanagar railway stations.
However, railway officials said that in the wake of the economic blockade, the departure schedule of the goods trains were revised. "The rail blockade was for about three hours. Timing adjustment was made in advance; hence goods train movement was not affected much in our division," said Chakradharpur senior commercial divisional manager A K Haldar.
In Dhanbad, the BJP workers led by district party president Hariprakash Lata occupied the railway tracks on both up and down lines. Two trains - Sealdah-Jammu Tawi Express and a goods train - were stopped at Dhanbad. However, there was no violence.
Bokaro police on Thursday arrested more than 50 BJP workers for stopping the Howrah-Ranchi Shatabdi Express. BJP supporters led by district president Rohit Lal Singh arrived at the railway station raising slogans against railway minister and descended on the tracks. Many of them climbed on the engine of the Ranchi-bound Shatabdi Express on platform No. 1. Despite huge deployment of police personnel, the BJP workers managed to delay the train for five minutes, said sources. ASP Prasant Karan said that the demonstrators were arrested for creating blockade at railway tracks and were released by evening.
In Giridih too, the BJP activists stopped trains between Giridih and Jasidih stations. About 100 BJP activists were arrested at both the places.

"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all." Following the introductory declaration, the elder gets straight to the point of the treatise: God. At the center of everything in First John is the reality of God and who God is. There are two things to note about the elder's description of God in this verse. First, this message about the identity of God is what "we have heard" from Christ himself. Christ and Christ alone is the soured of the elder's knowledge about God that he is seeking to impress on the church (cf. John 1:18; 2 John 9). Second, the message about God that we have learned from Christ is that God is light; there is no darkness in God. There is no ambiguity in God according to the elder. God has no inner dark side, no secret agenda; God is simply light, the fullness of purity and goodness.
"If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true;" Herein lies one of the major linchpins of First John, namely that we cannot participate in God's life while living in sin. The elder is not esoteric; he proclaims no mysticism that could be separated from ethics. Union with God through Christ is ethical through and through. We cannot become a partaker of the divine nature (cf. 2 Pet 1:4) except under the form of discipleship; our participation in God can only take the form of a cruciform life, a life devoted to embodying in our own practices the singular love that God has revealed to us in Christ. For the elder our union with God, our communion with the fullness of divinity is utterly and completely earthly—it is nothing more or less than a call to live in the self-abandoning love of Jesus, walking in that love, and practicing it in all things. Deification means discipleship.
Moreover, what is ultimately at stake in our call to truly have fellowship with God is the issue of truth. Any claim to being union with God while living a life not shaped by Christ's agape is a life under the bondage of the lie. Truth, for the elder is the reality of God and what God has accomplished. We "do" the truth in being conformed to God's love. Any claim to union with God outside of this conformity to love is to live in futility and bondage to falsehood.
"but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." Here the elder states the antithesis of the life bound over to falsehood: the life of mutual fellowship among the forgiven. For the elder here, the opposite of lying and failing to "do what is true" is to live a life of fellowship with one another. The opposite of falsehood is the community of the forgiven. Truth is inseparable from our life together as the forgiven ones of Christ.
The life lived in the light is a life to be walked, it is a road, a pilgrimage of discipleship. And the first thing to be said about this path is that to walk it is to be bound up with one another. The elder mentions first that we have fellowship with one another, and only then goes on to mention that the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. The experience of forgiveness and sanctification cannot be described except in light of mutual fellowship.
Note also that the passage here does not say that the blood of Christ cleanses us from "our sins", but from "all sin" (cf. John 1:9). Though this certainly includes any sins we have committed, as verse 9 below makes quite clear, the communal note on which this verse opens seems to be the focus here. We are cleansed, not simply of our own guilt, but of all the ways in which the powers of sin and death have marked and debilitated our lives. The point of the elder is that all the power of sin is broken and that in following after Christ we are freed from the tyranny of its powers. To be sure this includes the erasure of our guilt, but that is but a sliver of the fullness of liberation that the elder is trying to communicate. We are freed from all sin, from the control of all powers, from the debilitation of all ideologies, from the reign of death itself (cf. 1 John 3:14). For the community of the forgiven, the power of sin itself is broken, and this reality of liberation is precisely what grounds the Johannine call to mutual love, the practice of which is the very reality of life itself, life in God.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." In further elaboration of the nature of salvation, the elder goes on here to make clear that our salvation cannot consist in any sort of self-deceived notion of our own righteousness. The vision of salvation articulated here is centered in truthfulness. The only way for us to have fellowship with God, to participate in the divine life is through the truthful acknowledgment of our condition. The great enemy of salvation is self-deception. Participation in God only comes through the agony of truth; only in facing the reality of our shattered and sinful lives do we find liberation and union with God.
"If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Confession. Confession is the key to life, the key to living within the reality of salvation. The essence of confession of sin is truthfulness. Confession is not public humiliation, or even personal acts of confiding in another. Rather confession is the truthful naming of ourselves and our action. Confession is how we are called to speak ourselves truthfully. It is the supremely painful and horrifyingly personal act of saying our ugliness, of proclaiming our corruption, and doing so without any qualifying remarks. Confession is our practice of truthing ourselves.
The supreme theological point though, is that for the Christian, confession can be borne. The truth can be faced. The truth can be acknowledged without fear. It can be so because the truth is Christ himself (cf. John 14:6). Christ who is at once our judge and our redeemer, from him we can bear the truth about ourselves. The truth about us, and our sinfulness consigns us to death. The reality of our fallenness and our brokenness is beyond fixing. Outside of Christ the truth about ourselves must be avoided at all costs, for the only end of it is death. In Christ however, the fear of death lies broken. In Christ alone full truthfulness is finally possible without despair unto death. Or rather, despair unto death can be borne in light of the resurrection. The one who is faithful and righteous forgives, cleanses, and resurrects us in Christ. And for this reason, and only this reason, we are able to bear the truth, and indeed to find the true and only freedom therein. In Christ, confession is the very life of freedom itself.
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." The lie above all lies, that we have not sinned. Indeed, the denial of sin is the very opposite of confession, and it has the opposite effect. Confession breaks through the bonds of slavery and self-deception, freeing us into the life of the community of the forgiven. Denial of sin however boxes us into ourselves and closes us forever off from the Word of life. Denial of sin is the absolute insistence on our own capacity, our own ability, our own integrity. Denial of sin, the declaration of innocence, like the declaration of accomplishment is utter and total slavery. To deny our sin is the see the truth about ourselves and refuse to believe that it can be borne in Christ. It is the only alterative to the freedom of confession; it is the visceral insistence that we cannot be false, therefore everyone else must be. Even God must be made a liar so that we can insist on our own truthfulness. The declaration of innocence is thus the ultimate slavery. The call of the elder is that we abandon such false and contrived innocences and be drawn into the true and only freedom, the life of agonizing, liberating truthfulness. The life of confession and forgiveness, of death and resurrection.
