Can't get it at Borders? Akadot has a sale!!
Since the last code didn't work, we've decided to make it 30% off your entire order! Only valuable from February 4-6, so don't miss out!
Since the last code didn't work, we've decided to make it 30% off your entire order! Only valuable from February 4-6, so don't miss out!
Got error message that the Akadot911 coupon code is invalid when trying to check out
I've updated this post with a new code, and it doesn't start until tomorrow through the sixth.
I was very hapy that I was finally going to get Ze vol 6 from Akadot cause of the nice (albeit short term) coupon only to find its now out of stock. Really? Is it ever going to be reprinted where it will be available at Akadot and Yaoiclub again and possibly, hopefully elsewhere? I mean its been past the wait time estimated and claimed by the admins at the forums for it to reach other stores and now its not even available at the home-base when there is a coupon.
hello … the coupon saids valid until 2/6 does this include 2/6 or not?
I just thought it was valid on 2/6 .. owells I guess I wouldn't be buying anything than.
Oh I forgot to mention that your company is located in california and is running on PST time while I'm in New York on EST.
When I placed my order it was still only 2/5/2011 so I don't understand why the coupon did not work! Does your company like to mislead people!! First its censoring books now its fake coupons dates! Why didn't you just say the coupon works only on 2/4 soo dumb!
The akadot30 coupon is no longer working. It says it's expired when I try to check out. Today is the last day, so unless it's fixed and/or extended, that's a lost sale from me. =(
Please don't resort to accusations and threats — there was probably an error, and if you email or call in to Akadot, they will understand the situation and honor your coupon. Blaming us will not get you anywhere, we do our best and don't intend to mislead anyone nor have fake coupons.
I apologize, you're not the only one to encounter that error. Akadot has a lot of kinks in the site and it needs an overhaul, so we've been trying to work with problems like these that keep coming up. Should you encounter an error again, you are always free to email or call Akadot and they will honor the discount/coupon. Sorry about that!
I have a question not related to the discount.
When will the View Finder Vol 3 be available for ordering? It is scheduled to be release on February 23, 2011, and that is just a fifteen (15) days away. How can I pre-order the book?
Thank you much for publishing this series.
The release date is an estimate, and I'll forewarn you by saying it might be a bit late >__< The Akadot system is currently unable to do pre-orders, although we are slowly trying it out with 3 DMP titles from March. Finder unfortunately isn't available for pre-order, sorry! The moment it becomes available for order, it will be announced on all of our websites
When Kizuna 2 will be available for 'common' stores? I did a pre-order and now, all of a sudden I can't get my book. Akadot has pretty expensive international services, so it won't help me. You also don't reply emails as I can see. It's not me, but a ton of other Kizuna readers are facing the same problem now.
Who did you e-mail? We reply to e-mails as soon as we can. Akadot gets books first because it is connected to DMP. The rest depends on our distributor getting the books to other stores. Please be patient, we do the best that we can and want our books to be available to our fans.
I don't leave many remarks, however i did a few searching and wound up here Junemanga Blog » Blog Archive » Can't get it at Borders? Akadot has a sale!!. And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it look like a few of these comments appear like left by brain dead people? And, if you are writing at other online sites, I'd like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of all of all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Portland City Center
I do like the idea that the "ticket" will flash for a minute or two after being purchased, so the inspectors will know who didn't buy one before boarding.
/no smart phone, but I don't use Trimet anyway.
I am hoping that the machines are not really being retired. I don't plan on ever owning a "smart" phone myself and what about people who can't afford one? Is Tri Met just going to write $175 tickets all day everyday? Surely they thought this through right?
Now, what about us dinosaurs that don't even have a cell phone?
The once in a blue moon that we ride we only want to have a working machine handy.
This is why the book of Revelations has a great idea.The "Mark of the beast" Just have a implant imbedded under your skin.Get rid of the cash and credit cards.Just like a Starbucks card,you just load up your implant from your tablet.Then all the fair inspector has to do is run a scanner across your hand to see if your fare has been paid.They have a scanner for phone apps at Starbucks so this could work the same way.Same goes with paying at the gas station or grocery store.Of course I don't believe in god or Christianity.I do find the book of Revelation a great science fiction peace and maybe some good ideas like this can come from the authors who were thousands of years ahead of themselves and providers of some good ideas.I would like to know from anyone if there were any other ancient religons who mentioned this same concept.
Hopefully it's with a different company that designed the ticket machines.I hane a feeling just because its TriMet alone,the app will be full of glitches.
jon...trying to buy a ticket....i dont think so...
âWe believe it was affecting about 1,000 to 2,000 credit card transactions a month,â said Altstadt. âFor at least five years.
how about this for a radical new idea? Fix the system you have now before trying to go all hi-tech....
they cant even get simple machines working properly and fixing them is even worse. Whats going to happen when their app fails?Â
what are you gonna do? use the trimet app with the credit card that was cancelled by using on of thier faulty machines?
My beta testing thus far hasn't been too bad. As with any beta, there are a few kinks that need to be ironed out which have not been show stoppers. I expect that the Sherpa group will be responsive as they're waiting for this to roll out so they can start making some money off the ticket sales generated from the app.
I say junk all of this,go to a system were you buy an RFID card you get charged by the minute(so you can have short hops without having to pay full price)You get charged everytime you board a bus ect,the counter starts over(on bus you get a 3 minute grace or until the bus starts moving. SIMPLE,the fare police could still check your card to see if its filled,thats all
I'm sure most people wanting to ride Tri-Met would just be happy to pay for the ride without all sorts of broken machines and apps for Smartphones they don't have, and can't afford.
I video tape all machines that don't work. In some places all the machines don't work. I am waiting for fare inspectors to give me a ticket when the machines don't work. I need an excuse to sue Trimet for their faulty machines.
My goal is to get all those who got tickets because the machines were down a refund. Costing Trimet a ton of money would be a fun day in my book.
@tully No kidding. What happens when trimet mobile ticketing site gets "hacked"? Trimet's IT people can't seem to make their own ticketing machines work reliably, why would a site people will be inputting their credit card information be any safer?Â
@noneofyourbizzness maybe i didn't listen to the video correctly but it sounded one of Trimet's own made the app.
@toobadsoosad They can't fix the existing machines. They are not interested in replacing the ticket machines & the software which is based on Windows NT. Of which has a very long and sorry history of crashing, locking up and everything else Microsoft is known for.Â
All of their IT people should be fired. For the money they're wasting paying them to screw around day after day, year after year it could all be farmed out places like IBM which would take over all of their IT problems and fix them.
@RalphCramden The sad thing is that if you win and TriMet has to pay a 'ton of money', then they would probably have to cut service to 10 bus lines and everyone would have to wait 5 more minutes for a Max to show up.
Cool. I have 6-12 hammers and a few cold chisels. Do you have some Carrara marble I can borrow? Sandstone is so fleeting...
@toobadsoosad@noneofyourbizznessTrimet didn't develop the app. It's developed by Globa Sherpa of http://www.globesherpa.com/.Â
@axpman @toobadsoosad i should have known ms was involved..heh i agree with your solution to the IT people but we have to remember here its just plain government doing what they do best. Being the best at being ineffective and incompetent and most importantly taking their sweet time to get crap done.
The really sad thing is that citizens have had to pay out significant amounts of money for fines that were because Trimet was too stinking lazy to fix the ticket machines.
If that is what it takes to bring justice to the people who were robbed by the government because the ticket machines were broken then so be it. That is the price of incompetence.
@WebFootSTi @wondering What about the thieves that would like to steal marble? Sandstone is undervalued.
I not only wish for this, I hope for it. I even look forward to the day it happens. My attorney and I are ready. I have at least 30 videos with ticket machines not working. Plus I have the names of those who are on the video who are willing to testify in court that these machines are not working many times.

Shelbyville's MaxCare Urgent Treatment Center Joins Baptist Health
Baptist Health has added a Shelbyville urgent care center to its family of services, strengthening and broadening its scope of healthcare in the Louisville area.
MaxCare Urgent Treatment Center, 101 Stonecrest Road, Suite #1, Shelbyville, will become Baptist Health Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine, effective May 30. A leader in the Shelbyville medical community, MaxCare has provided urgent care and occupational medicine since 2006, seeing more than 17,000 patients a year.
John Wortley, executive director of operations for Baptist Health Medical Group, said the partnership will give Baptist Health another opportunity to serve its patients in Shelby County at a well-established practice with an excellent reputation.
"MaxCare has a lot of loyal customers in Shelby County, and we are excited to have such a large presence in the community," he said. "It means a lot to us to have the Baptist name attached to a practice that has had such a great impact on the people of the Shelbyville area, and that has such top-notch physicians and staff."
Led by Steven W. Smith, M.D., Ronald E. Creque, M.D., and Paul A. Goodlett, M.D., MaxCare provides healthcare services with no appointment needed for treatment of minor illnesses and injuries such as lacerations, broken bones, sore throat or flu. The center also provides pre-employment services (physicals, drug screenings and vaccinations) and work-related injury treatment to many of the area's employers.
MaxCare is the only urgent care center in Shelby, Henry and Spencer counties, and its physicians and nurse practitioners see patients from each of those communities, as well as from Anderson and Franklin counties.
Dr. Smith, who serves as medical director for MaxCare, said that joining Baptist Health is a positive change for his practice and for the people of the Shelbyville area. Having worked in the emergency room at Baptist East (now Baptist Health Louisville) for 10 years, Dr. Smith has strong ties with Baptist Health.
"This is like coming back home for me. I have always believed in the Baptist Health system," said Dr. Smith. "The thing our physicians have always stressed is that we want people to come here because we provide the very best care, not because we are the only place they can go."
Dr. Smith said that all three physicians and the practice's two nurse practitioners are well-entrenched in the Shelbyville and Greater Louisville communities through volunteer work for various organizations, ministries, schools and youth sports teams.
Dr. Smith is board-certified in emergency medicine and as a Medical Review Officer (MRO) with expertise in drug and alcohol testing. He serves as a clinical instructor of emergency medicine at the University of Louisville and as the physician for the Shelby County Fire Department. He received his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, did training in diagnostic radiology at Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis and completed an emergency medicine residency at the University of Louisville, where he served as chief resident.
Dr. Creque received his medical degree from the University of Louisville and completed his residency at University of Alabama Birmingham in 2001. Dr. Goodlett, who is a graduate of Shelby County High School, received his medical degree from the University of Louisville and completed his residency at St. Mary's hospital in Evansville, Ind.
Baptist Health currently operates five urgent care centers in the Kentuckiana/Louisville area – at Eastpoint, Jeffersontown, Holiday Manor, Westport Road and Middletown, and offers urgent care services through Baptist Express Care at select Walmart locations and at its Baptist Health Occupational Medicine locations (formerly known as BaptistWorx) in La Grange, Fern Valley Road and Riverport locations. Baptist also has urgent care centers in Lexington (Nicholasville), Corbin and Richmond, and a full-service occupational medicine clinic in the Bluegrass Industrial Park.

- Resveratrol
- Origin & Mythology
- Properties & Uses
Resveratrol is an important phytoestrogen known as the ingredient of longevity. It belongs to a class of polyphenolic compounds called stilbenes and it is a potent polyphenolic antioxidant. Some types of plants produce resveratrol and other stilbenes in response to stress, injury, fungal infection, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Resveratrol's most abundant source is found in the skin of red grapes, in berries, in peanuts, and the Japanese knot weed.
- Reservatrol stimulates the production of sirtuins, which serve as the 'guardians' of the cell and are considered the proteins of youth, responsible for the longevity of cells.
- Reservatrol highly impacts on the reduction of the depth on the surface of the fine lines and wrinkles as well as on their number.
- It offers an antioxidant protective shield against free radical damage.
- Reservatrol promotes skin thickness, elasticity, radiance and glow.
- It also has significant anti-inflammatory properties.
- Resveratrol inhibits proliferation of skin epidermal cells and stimulates their differentiation.

Hi there. A lot of my roses started developing a disease in the last 1-2 months. It's got these yellow spots on the frontside of the leaves and black/yellow fungus-like dust spots underneath. I'll attach pics because it's hard to describe. (Uhh, I can only add 1 pic). I'm trying to Find what it is named so I can get treatment. Hope you can help. Thanks a lot !!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is the front. I'd like to underline that some of the fungus/whatever it is on the backside is yellow, if you can't see from the photo. Many thanks :) |
- Posted by ians_gardener z5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 6, 14 at 7:16
Uhh thanks!!! I was thinking it might be rust but I thought it should be primarily yellow, not blackish...I guess the black is just oxidised yellow. |
Yes, it's rust. No, the black isn't oxidized yellow. In fact, the black is even worst. If you had a microscope, you'd see that the black are larger spores (when compared in size to the yellow spores also on the underside of leaves.) The black spores look like two wizard's hats joined at the base. What makes the black spores worse is that those are where the disease overwinters and will be the source of the disease next year. |

A quick win: high impact, low effort.
Whether these are bright ideas to pursue, exciting opportunities, or interesting possibilities, most of us have many more activities on our "wish lists" than we have time available to work on them.
By choosing activities intelligently, we can make the very most of our time and opportunities. However, by choosing badly, we can bog ourselves down in time-depleting, low-yield projects that stop us moving forwards.
This is where an "Action Priority Matrix" can be useful. These simple diagrams help you choose the activities you should prioritize and the ones you should avoid, if you want to make the most of your time and opportunities.
Action Priority Matrices* (see figure 1, below) show you how to prioritize activities to make the most of your time, energy, and talents.
This is useful, because we rarely have time to complete all of the tasks and projects on our wish lists. When we use the matrix to choose activities intelligently, we can spend more of our time on the high-value activities that keep us moving forwards.
We can also drop tasks that contribute little.
To use the matrix, you score tasks based firstly on...

"Bye - Bye Buzzards" September 21,
Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
7:00-8:30 Vulture Viewing
8:30-10:00 Guided Bird Walk
9:00-1:00 Wildlife Rehabbers Living Exhibit of Raptors, Reptiles & Mammals
3:30 - 5:00 pm special lecture -- "SCORPIONS" by Dave Oberpriller
5:00-7:00pm Extended hours and Live Music with Millie Davis & Muhlenberg County
7:00-8:30 after-dark Black Light Scorpion Walk with Dave Oberpriller & Guests
September 20 brings the Autumn Equinox, observed by cultures from the ancient Greeks to Aboriginal Australians; the Arboretum has a day filled with events starting just after sunrise with the annual 'Bye-Bye Buzzards' seasonal send-off .
Its all included with adult admission of $10; free to BTA annual members and AZ state parks pass-holders. Arrive early for the 7am special opening Saturday to see the famous flock of Turkey Vultures perched on the cliffs before they depart to spend their day soaring the skies; world-traveled ASU Professor Dave Pearson will be the guest 'Vulture-ologist' from 7:00-8:30, talking about the big black birds, answering questions and sharing his appreciation for the soaring scavengers until the vultures take to the skies
-- typically by 8:30am.
Pearson and others will guide birdwalks through the gardens at 8:30, and from 9:00-2:00 volunteer wildlife rehabbers from the Arizona Game & Fish Department will have a popular living exhibit of raptors and reptiles set up near the Smith Building, so kids and adults alike can have closeup views of a real, live Turkey Vulture along with hawks and owls. View
a Bye Bye Buzzards Day event video by Arboretum Volunteer Mike Rolfe
ASU Professor Dave Pearson is our special guest for the morning, and will be stationed near the Desert Legume Garden "talking about TUVUs" from about 7:00 am until 8:30, when he will lead a bird walk around the grounds in search of other BTA birds, mammals and critters.
Turkey Vultures usually return in March. Spring and Summer months are spent here at the
Arboretum. By late September the huge birds began to depart, heading south
to spend the Winter months in Mexico.
can be unpredictable, but usually our resident birds take to the skies by
8:00 or 8:30 a.m. and are circling overhead and away to roam and forage for
the rest of the day. At 8:30 a.m. volunteers will lead a guided birdwalk along
the main trail, teaching us to identify birds of the Arboretum. Even if you
arrive late, count on seeing at least one charismatic vulture up close and
personal. Arizona Game & Fish Department wildlife rehab volunteers will
bring "Ed the Education Turkey Vulture" and a selection of other
photogenic birds and critters for visitors to see and photograph.
Turkey Vultures
are fascinating birds, scavengers that are adapted to feast on roadkill and
survive broiling Arizona summer heat. Usually by mid-March anywhere from 10-50
Turkey Vultures have returned from Wintering in Mexico to roost each night
in our Eucalyptus grove and volcanic cliffs of the Picketpost Mountain escarpment,
gliding away an hour or two after sunrise each day to forage for roadkill
and other carrion. The birds typically reside here from March through late
September before departing to spend fall and winter months in Southern Arizona
and Mexico.
Vultures have a unique defensive technique: they vomit to repel a threat.
Sure, their habits may be a little repulsive, but turkey vultures are a gentle,
charismatic and misunderstood species and they're quite worthy of celebration.
San Juan Capistrano boasts the seasonal migration of swallows -- but this corner of Arizona asserts its own bragging rights each year with the seasonal migration of the species
Cathartes aura as they glide overhead on wings that span six
feet. In past years our resident flock has been numerous, which is why the
Arboretum allows early 7 a.m. admission at so visitors may view the vultures
perched in the towering Eucalyptus trees and sunning themselves on the rocky
cliffs of Magma Ridge.
After sunrise the morning air warms and thermal columns begin to rise, the birds take wing
and catch the upward spiral air currents - performing an impressive circling
aerial ballet as they depart in search of carrion. On Bye Bye Buzzards
Saturday, September 21, we'll gather at 7:00 a.m. to scan Magma Ridge for the
birds, then at 8:30 a.m. take a birdwalk to learn about other species on the
grouds. Another thrill for visitors is the display of live raptors, reptiles
and mammals which is set up by volunteers from the Adobe Mountain Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center. Melissa Reilly (seen in the photo at right) and other
volunteers will bring "Ed the Education Turkey Vulture" and a variety
of other birds; all can be seen near the Smith Building until about 2:00 p.m.
so visitors may observe the wildlife at close range and learn about their
biology, habitats and habits. "Ed" and the other birds are typically
orphaned or lame animals which could not survive in the wild and are cared
for by Adobe Mountain and also put on a mission to educate the public about
wildlife. Expert
Wildlife Rehabbers will be on hand to explain how they rescue and aid injured
wildlife for release back to their habitats. Unlike vultures in the wild,
Ed is habituated to humans. Living the comparatively easy life at the rehab
center, Ed seldom needs to resort to feral vulture behavior such as vomiting
at aggressors when threatened, or urinating down its legs and feet as a way
to dissipate body temperature. Does that seem a repulsive adaptation? It has
another useful purpose -- the strong acid of vulture excreta also inhibits
the growth of bacteria on the birds' legs - an important evolutionary defense
for a life spent amidst decay and disease. Events of our "Bye Bye
Buzzards" Day are included with regular adult admission of $9, or
$4.50 for ages 5-12.

I have a home equity loan and I am a little confused about making additional payments on it. I know when I make an extra payment on my mortgage I have to make sure it is applied to the principle. Does it work the same with the Home Equity?
I would like to get this loan paid off, it isn't too large thank goodness, and I want to make sure I make my payments the right way. Thanks! Abbey |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, a home equity is just like a regular mortgage when you send extra payments for paying down principal. We're doing that every month right now and have to do it by check. Just make sure that your lender, assuming you have the same lender for the first mortgage and the home equity, applies the payments to the right loan - check your account on their website regularly. We have Countrywide and they often apply the home equity principal payments to the first mortgage. Many many phone calls to them to straighten these out ... that part of making the extra payments is a pain in the ... If you pay by check, write the loan number on the check AND on a note that you enclose with the check. Doing this, though, is still no guarantee that they'll get it right. Paying on line should reduce these goofups. |
I pay extra on my HELC every month and the extra gets credited to the principal. kec01's point is well taken and the reason I avoid using the same financial institution for 2 different loans. I have had mix-ups with the same bank who co-mingled personal and business transactions. I finally withdrew my personal business. I have to hassle Macy's about every 6 months. They credit my regular payment with my major purchase account, which I rarely use. I end up with a regular account past due balance, which (surprise) is equal to a credit on the major purchase account. When I call, I'm clearly dealing with a foreigner and it takes a couple phone calls, usually, to get it straightened out. I guess it's computer operator error, keying in the wrong acct. #. Very annoying, though. |
Thanks for the information. The Home Equity is with a different bank than my mortgage, so that eliminates one problem. I do a lot of on line banking, but probably won't do it with the home equity because there would be no way to tell them to put it on the principal. At least now I know I do have to tell them that. Hope to see that balance start going down soon. Abbey |

check w/ your bank to be sure; on my HELOC, since the interest MUST be paid, any extra automatically goes to the principal. I just write a check for more than the interest, w/ no extra notation, and next month I see that the principal is a little less than it was. At my first mortgage, however, I did have to specify that the extra was to be applied to the principal, or it didn't happen. |
I realize the original post is relatively old, but here I go: You need to review your documents and contact your lender. This varies widely from company to company and loan program to loan program. With the finance company I work for, in my state, any payment in excess of the interest owed on the date of the payment is automatically applied to the principal. You don't have to ask. You don't have to write two separate checks. You don't have to do anything but pay more than the interest that has accrued on the loan. We also don't have prepayment penalties in my state (with my company). You need to contact the lender, but definitely review your documents. A representative can tell you anything (a lot of people are just plain stupid or misinformed, and they have jobs with banks, finance companies, hospitals, and a number of other places where their ineptitude will seriously impact people like you and me), but it will never be as legally binding as the documents you signed. If you no longer have copies of your documents, you are well within your rights to request them. This question can't be adequately answered in a forum like this without access to your loan/line of credit documents. |
Mine is like talley sue's. I called when I received my first bill & asked what I needed to do to apply the extra I was paying to the principal. They told me that anything I paid above the interest automatically went to principal. It's probably best to call your bank & ask. Then check to make sure that's what happened. |

I have often said so-called "progressive Christianity" is a notion forever in search of its own elusive definition; and that's as good a way of explaining it as we may be able to find. We live in a post-modern world that considers the age of Enlightenment to be a post-facto reality. As such, "progressive" thinking in an age of Reason has pushed the boundaries of nearly every facet of life, except one: those 'traditional' or 'orthodox' beliefs, based on certain creeds, doctrines and dogma that still dominate what it presumably means to be "Christian." It hardly needs to be said that it is also why so many one-time believers have outgrown their one-time faith. Calling them merely "lapsed" is misleading. So much has elapsed in the world we have all come to know and take for granted, that the once-dominant Church — — despite all its denominational varieties — has fast become a post-modern relic. Yet any critical examination of how Christian scriptures developed and how the history of the tradition evolved will quickly demonstrate how it has always been in a constant state of flux. Or, if you like, "progression." It was only when it stopped and got stuck that we traded in the tent for a temple, and snuffed the life out of a movement that is progressive by its very nature. What then would constitute an honest statement of belief for at least this "progressive Christian?"

The terms faith and beliefs are sometimes used interchangeably, but I think it is useful to make a distinction between them. Beliefs are things you think are true, like "I believe in God." "I believe that there is life after death." These are improvable opinions (or they would be accepted by all as "facts"). A list can be made of beliefs.

Authorities say that a four-year-old boy who fell into a Seeley Lake pond on Thursday evening has passed away.
Missoula County Sheriff's Office Captain Josh Clark says emergency responders in Seeley Lake were called to an area off of Boy Scout Road just after 6 p.m., where the boy was found unconscious in a pond.
Clark says that despite "valiant life-saving efforts," the child was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a Missoula hospital.
The name of the child is not being released pending family notifications, according to Clark.
No other information has been released at this point.

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 Pixie!
Facts about Pixie
- Breed: American Eskimo Dog Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Senior
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Pixie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Pixie is a 8-9 year old American Eskimo X. She is spayed, micro-chipped, house trained, crate trained, knows many different tricks and has spontaneous bursts of energy where she does something whacky that makes you laugh out loud. Pixie loves her walks (her nose usually leads the way!) and loves to just chill beside you while you are watching tv or reading a book. She is good with other dogs, we have never met a cat, but from her reaction of seeing them on the tv, I don't think she likes them. Pixie is very loving and relaxed and thoroughly enjoys belly rubs and treats. Pixie is very low maintenance and would do great in any household that would love and care for her.
Other Pets at New Hope Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pixie, a Saskatoon American Eskimo Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Eskimo Dog for sale in Saskatoon, or seeking a American Eskimo Dog dog from a breeder in Saskatoon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon 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 American Eskimo Dog breeders who help with American Eskimo Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Saskatoon paves the way for another one to be saved.

No matter how hard Major League Baseball tries to cheapen and devalue Opening Day, it can't do it. For a sport/industry so adept at making money, its continued effort to turn the annual baseball holiday into a made-for-TV event has mostly failed.
Because despite MLB's push for growth into foreign shores, Opening Day is today. Not last week in Sydney or last night in San Diego. Those games count in the standings but only today counts in the hearts and minds of baseball fans the world over.
It isn't really a holiday and it will never receive official designation as such. It's the business-as-usual aspect that makes Opening Day so appealing. No other sport asks more of its supporters and fans. No other sport demands attention for longer and with more regularity. Other major sports play their games on weekends and in prime time. Baseball combines tradition and utility to play games during the day, during the week. It fights for your love and affection.
On Opening Day, every single year, baseball goes undefeated.
Opening Day requires skipped classes and sick days, shuffled schedules and emergency vacations and surreptitious radio broadcasts and spikes in office bandwidth usage. We bend the rules because we love baseball. We love baseball because we love to bend the rules.
But all this attention and bad behavior doesn't lend itself to laser-like focus on one location or one single event. Baseball is a game of regions. Opening Day reflects a national past time that doesn't capture the national attention as much as the attention of a nation in its diverse little pockets from Baltimore to Detroit, Seattle to St. Petersburg. It isn't peanuts and crackerjacks but garlic fries and skyline chili and all the individual things that add up to century-old cultural phenomenon still going strong.
Baseball grows and swells and turns drops into oceans. Opening Day demonstrates how baseball can lose the battle but still win the war – it triumphs on the aggregate. Comparing Sunday Night Baseball ratings to NFL football misses the point. It is announcing Alcides Escobar owns Clayton Kershaw because he managed a base hit the only time they faced off.
The long season is a slow train that fans can jump on and off at their convenience, and the important games in October are the light at the end of the tunnel. Nobody, not even the most devoted fans, can expect to go the whole season without missing a game. That's part of the appeal, as well—the ability to drift in and out of a season as the situation allows. Baseball will always be there, every day from April to October.
Opening Day is much about the "everybody is tied for first today" idealism as it is about welcoming back a constant, steadying influence in all our lives. Mostly, it's fun. It means the long, cold winter is over and sunny days at the ballpark are, once again, a reality. All 30 teams are playing for something and happy to be involved – a feeling that is fleeting to say the least.
Opening Day is the start of a journey. A sold out stadium full of fans resembles a company at the beginning of a war film—convivial and full of esprit de corps—but the guy on your left and the guy on your right won't make it to the end of this movie.
So enjoy Opening Day. Enjoy it however you can and however you choose. Remember the feelings of relief and excitement you feel today, you'll need them to balance the August anguish and September apathy with something warm and fuzzy. None of which matters after Opening Day – the most important baseball day of the year.

Remember your first job waiting tables? Or, perhaps you recently took a new position as a kitchen worker. Imagine working more than 80 hours a week. How would you react if your boss paid you a flat monthly salary—so low that you never even earned the federal minimum wage and never got overtime pay? To make matters worse, what if your supervisor controlled your livelihood by arranging where you lived and how you got to work, so you were never out of their reach?
That is what I encountered when I began my investigation of a buffet-style restaurant in Macon, Georgia. It will go down as one of the most difficult cases I have ever dealt with in my 14 years with the Wage and Hour Division.
You might think that serious wage violations and deplorable work conditions only occur in sweat shops overseas. But, the reality is that this may also happen in your neighborhood restaurant. Customers of employers who violate the law aren't always aware that the people serving them are being denied their rightfully earned wages. Those workers are often too afraid to speak up and too afraid to lose their jobs, their livelihoods, and their ability to provide for their families if they make waves.
Working in a restaurant can be tough – there may be long hours, hard labor and low pay. But it is even worse when an owner takes advantage of vulnerable employees by underpaying them.
As part of the investigative process, WHD conducts interviews with employees. Often times this is done in private so employees they are free to talk about their situation away from their worksite. The interviews help establish the hours individuals worked and how much they were paid. Interviews also help identify workers' particular duties in sufficient detail to decide which exemptions apply, if any, and to confirm that minors are legally employed.
For many vulnerable workers, this can be the first time that someone from the federal government actually takes time to listen to their concerns. It gives me a lot of personal satisfaction knowing that we can help.
When the Wage and Hour Division finds a situation where the employer is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act, we work diligently to get the employees the back pay they have earned. Our preference is to resolve these cases administratively, but it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes, we have to take an owner to court. That's what happened in my case. When this is necessary, we have a terrific group of attorneys from the department's Office of the Solicitor ready to back us up and take cases to trial.
And that is the second part of this story. Two wonderful attorneys from our Atlanta Office of the Solicitor, Karen Mock and Carla Casas worked hard to prepare this case for trial in U.S. District Court in Macon. Most of the workers had left the area, so our lawyers traveled across the southeastern United States to meet them, earn their trust and confidence and prepare them to testify at trial.
In the end, they built a tight case involving lots of pre-trial work, so the defendants felt it was better to agree to a consent judgment rather than risk a trial. Our success came because these attorneys were committed to finding justice for these workers, and these workers were willing to cooperate.
With the help of a great team, 11 former employees will be sharing $225,000 in back wages, liquidated damages, and post judgment interest. Individual payments vary, but two of those workers have more than $43,000 coming to them. Payments for most of the others are between $800 and more than $25,000 apiece.
By being conscious of what is happening in your neighborhood, you can help all of us find justice.
Publicly available enforcement data is available through the free mobile application "Eat Shop Sleep." This enables consumers, employees and other members of the public to check if a hotel, restaurant or retail location has been investigated by the Wage and Hour Division, and whether FLSA violations were found. The app is available at https://sites.google.com/site/eatshopsleepdol.
In addition, accessible and searchable information on enforcement activities by the U.S. Department of Labor is available at http://ogesdw.dol.gov/search.
Editor's Note: The author, Ramon Delgado is an investigator with the Wage and Hour Division.

Hi there.
I found a very nice-looking boxwood at the nursery I want to train as bonsai. It was in a five-gallon nursery pot, so is a pretty big specimen. It has a very thick trunk and lots of exposed nebari. The problem is, it must have been field-grown (probably locally, here in the NW) as it is in very dense, heavy clay (I can't even use the word "soil"). Although it may be impossible, I am wondering how to remove enough of the clay, while saving enough of the roots to plant into a much more porous bonsai mix. Today I took off a whole lot of the outer clay and managed to cut a really strong taproot. I just can't seem to be able to remove any more of the clay though. My intent was to put into a training pot and reduce the root mass even more next year--finally putting it into a bonsai pot. How can I break up this clay, though? Is it impossible? |

When i buy a plant like you describe,i take my water hose and wash the root system down.. you have to use forse with the water till you get to the fine roots..most likely you will find damaged roots from digging the plant up,cut these clean pot up then let it rest...hope this helps john |

I get plants like that all the time at trades. I'm amazed at what other peoples soil looks like-ours is pure sand. A strong blast from the water hose will break up the clay. You'll get some root damage but the plant should recover with no problem. Congrats on the new material. Tally HO! |

Kitchenaid and Cuisinart are both well loved by Cook's Illustrated and Consumer's Reports. Whether or not you need the KA Pro depends on what you are going to do with it. If you will use it all the time and/or make dough in it, the Pro may be the right choice. |

De Herrera's book, "All You Need Is Love," due out April 11, chronicles the spread of spirituality from India to the Western world, for which de Herrera herself was partly responsible 40 years ago.
"Mantra and guru — those words were not in our dictionary back then," she explains over tea at her Beverly Hills home of 41 years.
Born across the bay from San Francisco, in Piedmont, Calif., de Herrera left Stanford after three years to marry naval officer Dick Cooke, the scion of one of Hawaii's oldest missionary families. The couple lived in the islands for nine years during World War II, where de Herrera played hostess to Admirals Nimitz, Halsey and Towers. When she and Cooke divorced, in her late 20s, de Herrera returned to California. Then, during a trip to New York she met "the love of my life," Argentine racecar driver and golf champion Luis de Herrera. Sadly, after a whirlwind romance and barely two years of bliss in Buenos Aries, de Herrera lost her second husband to leukemia.
To console her, B.K. Nehru, former Indian Ambassador to the U.S., gave de Herrera a copy of Paramhansa Yoganda's "The Autobiography of a Yogi," and in 1962, she arrived in India wearing four-inch heels, and journeyed for weeks to meet the Maharishi. She quickly became a devotee.
Of course, when de Herrera returned to California dressed in Punjabi tunics and leggings — she never wears saris, claiming Westerners don't look good in them — friends said she had lost her mind.
"So many people thought, 'Oh come on, you're just being taken,'" she says.

IT WAS 1954, the Year of the Blessed Virgin. It was also the year when you could go into a pet store and pay $25 for a deflowered baby skunk to love and raise.
So when I saw an ad in the Marin IJ that pet baby skunks were available at a nearby pet store, I grabbed my lover's arm and we were out the door. On the way home Jim drove and I held our tiny soft furry baby on my lap.
"What shall we call her? She could be a nun. So black and white," I said.
"The blessed virgin!" Jim said, chuckling.
"But I can't tell my fourth-grade class their mascot is a virgin. I'd be fired for saying a word like that in front of them."
Jim pulled into our driveway.
"Then just call her Bee Vee."
"Yeah. I'll say it stands for Black and Vite!"
And so Bee Vee came into our lives. You could not sit down anywhere, including the toilet, that she didn't want to climb onto your lap. She was affectionate and needy. She would wait outside our closed bedroom door every night, and the minute we opened it she crawled up the side of the bed and then wiggled her way down between us under the sheets where she slept for the rest of the night at our bare feet.
At breakfast she would rear up on her front feet and slap the floor until she got her strip of bacon. Her bowl was empty of kibble right after I filled it, but what she really liked were the nights I put a harness and leash over her shoulders and we went out into the garden's darkness where she devoured nasty little bugs and insects.
She dutifully used a cat's sandbox and groomed herself constantly when she wasn't dozing somewhere. I have never had such a clean pet and so eager to be loved. She was adored by everyone who saw her, and she drew Jim and I closer as a couple, a couple defined by a pet skunk as a family!
She went to school with me in Novato every day and slept most of the time on the bottom shelf of a cupboard. The first student to finish their schoolwork got to hold her, and even the slowest tried to beat the rest of the class for this wonderful reward.
On the slim chance I could breed her and give her babies to some of my students and friends, I put a personal ad in the IJ for her. It claimed she was a virgin and a good girl, but would like to meet a male skunk — object, matrimony. To my amazement, the ad was answered. Bee Vee was introduced to a very handsome, but disinterested, male skunk. Their photos spread across the front page of the paper, and she became an instant celebrity. But, sadly, she never became a mother.
She died peacefully of old age and is buried in my garden, her favorite spot. If love could have saved her, she would have lived forever.

Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, leaves the church after presiding over mass at St. Michaels Cathedral in downtown Toronto, Ont. on Sunday Feb. 24, 2013. After the mass, Cardinal Collins flew to Rome to participate in the final papal audience of Pope Benedict XVI and begin preparations for the upcoming conclave, including meetings with the Holy Father and College of Cardinals.

Thomas Cardinal Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto, will be in Rome on Monday for the upcoming papal conclave as Pope Benedict XVI prepares for his official resignation Thursday.
"The right choice is the one where the Holy Spirit will guide us to make," Collins told media after a packed mass at St. Michael's Cathedral on Sunday.
"I remember in 1978, I was studying in Rome and I left in June and there were two conclaves later that year. You hear the excitement in the streets. I'll be inside and I'll know who the Pope is before others do, but it will be amazing."
Pope Benedict XVI's shocking resignation Feb. 11 could result in he selection of the Catholic church's first non-European leader in 1,500 years. His potential successors include 68-year-old Canadian Marc Cardinal Ouellet.
When asked what the selection of a Canadian pope would to Canada, Collins matter-of-factly said the position is about much more than the chosen person's citizenship.
"We look at Poland when Pope Jean-Paul became pope ... there was a lot of cheering in the country," he said. "Whatever country the Pope is from will probably be very happy about it."
Many of the some-116 cardinals will gather in Rome on Wednesday and meet with the Pope on Thursday. On Friday, the cardinals will begin preparing for the conclave.
It's still not clear when the conclave will begin, Collins added, but the rules of the Vatican state it's usually 15 days after the seat becomes vacant.
Meanwhile, the Chamberlain Cardinal -- Italian Tarcisio Bertone -- will temporarily replace Pope Benedict XVI until a new pontiff is elected.
Despite Collins refusal to "cast in stone" the traits essential in the new pope, he said the person will have to be the best candidate to deal with current challenges the facing the church.
"When the seat is vacant at 8 p.m. Thursday night, I'll be listening to the other cardinals and they will be speaking of what will be needed in their area," Collins said.

Are any of you as wacko about 'spreaders' as I am?
I just can't pass one up. I spend countless hours organizing, categorizing by seasons, events, color-coordinating, etc. my spreaders. Anyone else care to 'fess up? |

OK. I'll admit it. I'm a spreader lover too. Shhhhh. Keep that on the down low. I don't have many, but I love the ones I've got. Some of my favorites were hostess gifts given to me by friends. CA, I loved to get a closer look. Could you pick out some of your favorites and take a less jumbled picture? Pretty please. |
Ca, I don't collect spreaders, but you sure do seem to have a great starter set LOL!! I would like to see some of your favorites too. NanaKaren |

I'm all about collecting. I never thought about spreaders, they wouldn't even take up much room. Maybe you could display them like people do spoons. Frou |
I only have a few but it's only because I haven't been with all the enablers here long enough.LOL I would love to see all of these spread out so I could get a better look. What I can see looks like you have some wonderful ones and such a great variety. Punk |

CA, Your Spreader Organization put me to shame, so I gathered up my spreaders and I've put them in one place. I had them in about three different drawers. I'm still not sure how I'm going to organize them or where they should be stored permanently, but at least I know where they all are now. If you have any tips, let us know. |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 21:54
For storing, or displaying, spreaders....small containers of some kind where the handles would be upright to see is what I'd do. I remember on a blog awhile back (think it was Nancy with the fabulous transferware collection), she took some pieces of her transferware and put her prettiest flatware upright in them. Then displayed as a grouping on the buffet. I thought it was a neat idea to show off two collections at once, and let the lovely handles on the flatware be seen. hugs, Karen |

Oh, hey. I didn't read any of the new additions since I last posted. That's one darling bunny with his carrot spreader. Very clever combination - and a Majolica piece to boot! Storing the spreaders upright certainly makes sense. It would take up more space and require a deeper drawer, but I am going to think on that idea and see what I can come up with. It certainly beats rummaging through a box of them to find the one you want at the bottom - which is what I'd have to do now. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 14:21
CA, you have a wonderful collection of them and they are so cute. Love the Halloween ones too Karen. OA, are those new bone spreaders going to make an appearance along with that fantastic skeleton hand you shared last year? I say get a block of foam, attach it to a platter, cover it with some shredded grass or sheet moss and stick those cute little spreaders in there and display them. Lots more fun than stuck in a dark drawer. ;o) Luvs |
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 16:26
I got a shoebox and put slits in the top. Using Luvs idea, I think I would add a block of foam inside the box so that knives wouldn't flop around. If this turns out to be useful, I'll cover it with contact paper. Of course, the best would be to find someone with woodworking skills. |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 19:41
They look soooo good upright and displayed, OA. You know you can get the pretty "shoebox" type boxes at Michaels in different colors or patterns that are really pretty. And made a bit heavier than regular shoe boxes I think. Or you can get the various shaped and size paper mache boxes to decorate that would be neat too. In the craft section. I'm always partial to the octagon ones, LOL. hugs, Karen |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 22:56
Oh boy, creativeangel, you've got the wheels a'turnin' here! OA, luvs, PM...you'll get this all down pat for all of us to try, right? Cool "thinking inside the box" idea, OA! And quite a nice collection! PM, I love your "bunny!" TFS! Jeanne S. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Oct 25, 10 at 13:31
Oh gosh, OA, your box and mentioning a woodworker just gave me another idea for a great way to display them. Can you picture those plastic stair step type spice shelf things that are made for kitchen cabinets? A wood piece made like a box on it's side with slits cut along it for the knives with a higher one in back then another lower one in front. (Picture it like a skinny cigar box on it's side) Could group as many as needed together for a fabulous display! I bet Jeanne's DH could make them! They could be painted in pretty colors, or covered in scrapbooking paper even. Hey, wait a minute! I wonder if there's a way to actually use one of those spice shelf things and cut the slits in it for the spreaders?????? Luvs |
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Mon, Oct 25, 10 at 15:37
Yes. I can see it. I don't think you can use one of the ready-made spice shelf steps because the lower shelf would be too low for the spreader blades to hang down. I should think that the hard part about making it out of wood would be the slits. Your suggestion about using cigar boxes would definitely work. But, and this may be a big but, I found that just the small number of spreaders you see in the picture are surprisingly heavy. So I'm not sure it would hold up very well. Boy! I want to try it though. Maybe a person could sort of laminate the cigar boxes with wood and there could be one long slit. Hmmmm. The design seems to be more problematic than you'd think. |

There have been a great many updates on the LODLAM front (Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, & Museums). I haven't blogged about it as those life things continue to be kicking my a**. My health hasn't been good blah blah blah. I highly encourage those of you with an ongoing interest to follow the goings on at the 2nd International LODLAM Summit. I attended the 1st, which was fabulous btw, and learned tons. Two years later projects are further along and new projects are being launched. Take a gander at the design patterns repository Richard Urban announced, for example.
Thanks for the inquiries into my well being. Rest assured, things will right themselves eventually. Or not. If When I return to writing here, you'll know it's better.

FANTABULOUS!!! wow, I don't even think a 50 dollar MAC brush can be as soft and beautiful as this. It really does feel wonderful on your face. My previous blush brush was synthetic hair and wow can you feel the difference. It was coarse against my face and now this brush does feel like silk. I love applying blush now and the handle is great too. Great price and great brush
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Like the previous reviewer, I too have tried over a dozen blusher brushes. In fact I own over 2 dozen. This one by far is my favorite and I am about to purchase 3 more as I am a germophobe and don't like to use a brush more than once before washing. The handle is great for application, it looks classy, and best of all it feels like a $100 brush and applies just as well if not better. I am a devottee of brushes by Shu Uemura, Trish, MAC and Paula Dorf. This one comes close to and beats a couple of the Shu ones which are unarguably the best in the world.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been through literally a dozen blush brushes...all of them high end department store brushes and all of them shed black hairs all over my face. I was about to give up until I came across these brushes. Although I am a high-end cosmetic snob, something told me to give these a try. Boy am I glad I did! The ergonomic handle on this brush is extremely comfortable and the hairs feel like silk on your face. And best of all, not one hair has shed from this brush! I feel like I won the lottery on this line!

My fiance's Irish heritage is a very big part of his and his family's lives. (His parents are first-generation Americans from Ireland). We are incorporating a variety of Irish wedding traditions into our wedding ceremony and wedding reception. I would also like to choose wedding favors that represent Irish tradition in some way, but I'm Italian and am having a hard time coming up with good ideas!
There are many great options for Irish-themed favors; it really just depends on how much money and/or effort you would like to expend. Chocolates in the shape of a shamrock or the Claddagh symbol (you should be able to find a candy manufacturer who will custom design them for you), placed in a tiny box or basket tied with ribbon could be cute. You could also place a card with a favorite Irish saying or proverb in the box with the candy for a nice touch. Small pouches of wildflower seeds are another great idea, especially since much of the Irish landscape is covered with wildflowers. Clover planted in tiny terra-cotta pots tied with personalized ribbon would make a great memento for your guests as well, while giving the added bonus of making your tables look lush and green. You may also look in craft stores for imitation gold horseshoe or clover charms, which can be strung on ribbon and tied around a handwritten message from you and your groom: perhaps, "We're lucky that you were able to share this special day with us."
