4209 Fire Plane
Posted by Huw,For my pick of the week this week, I've chosen another set that I wouldn't normally buy, but current discounts at Amazon.co.uk (36% off at £25) made it irresistible.
I've never bought a City fire set before, because as I explained when the forest police station was pick of the week, emergency services sets usually leave me cold. However, I am coming to realise that they are packed with playability, and this one is no exception.
The set contains three sub-models, the first of which is this fire jeep and trailer. The jeep looks great, although it would have looked better -- not to mention safer for the driver in a fire situation -- if it had a roof. A red Wedge 4 x 6 x 2/3 Triple Curved would have done the job nicely.
The trailer, presumably a water tank/pumper, is packed with details and hoses.
The trees are nowhere near as good as those made by some AFOLs but they are pretty good, and in any case, the 30 foliage pieces will come in handy for making your own trees.
The ten flame pieces let you 'set fire' to one of the trees and thus have something for the fire service to extinguish. I think I'm right in saying that this is the first time something 'on fire' has been included in a fire set, presumably because burning buildings or vehicles would be too scary for kids.
The plane itself isn't too bad, although it does use the new large juniorised parts for nose and tail, but thankfully, not for the wings. They are made from two 6 x 24 plates which are something of a rarity. There are some in the Town Hall, but other than that they haven't appeared in a set since 1998.
There's a flap on the top of the fuselage in which to put the 'water' (trans-blue 1 x 1 round bricks), and a mechanism operated by a lever on the side to drop them onto the burning tree.
It's not a bad effort although I'm not entirely convinced by the wings, particularly the ends, or the grey slope pieces under the wings; red would have looked much better.
Overall though, a neat set, packed with playability and useful parts, and a bargain at £25.59 at Amazon.co.uk. In the US, it's currently $50 at Amazon.com.

If you are prepared to do some lego work, certain Tesco's are selling this on clearance at £9, but it will be hit and miss if you find one, and you might have to check the scanning yourself, as the shelf may still say £31.
Wow that is a bit of a bargain, then, if you can find one!
Yeah, I've never been too blown away by fire sets. The truck looks nice but the tree and the fire plane look pretty awful IMO.
Nice review, Huw.
Lots of things have been depicted as on fire by TLG: torches, camp fires, and fires/embers under cauldrons. Also, Eruptorr from the 2010 Power Miners set looked to be burning. However, all these fires were controlled. I think you may be right that this is the first time something has been ablaze and out of control.
Love this set, glad there is a review. Got mine from Tesco for GBP 9.50. Absolutely love the engines.
^^ But torches, embers and firewood are *supposed* to be on fire. I think Huw was referring to everyday objects that are not normally on fire.
Was lucky enough to grab the last one on Friday from the Bedford Tesco's for £9.50.
Actually, there is a Jack Stone set, 4609 which includes a burning building of sorts.
With regards to the wings, the set is a fairly good representation of a Candair 215 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-215 - which does has very square wings to allow it to fly slow enough to pick up water from lakes.
The PoTC London Escape set has a burning wagon.
Actually, the rumor list for 2013 includes several Fire sets with things on fire, including a "Burning Hut" and a burning motorboat, so if Lego ever had a policy of not including burning buildings/vehicles in Fire sets, it ends this year. ;-)
that fire truck released late last year also has a burning tree. Cant remember set number, something like 4434 or therabouts

- One week left … seven more days and it will be Christmas. I have to admit that with yesterday's snowfall and today's chilly temperaures, it is beginning to feel like any miute Santa and Co. will be pulling up on our rooftop here at Hodgdon Island Inn in not-so-balmy Boothbay, Maine! (Richard just came in from outside and commented that the pool is beginning to get slushy – oh my!). But none-the-less, we are listening to Christmas carols and sipping cappucinos while wrapping presents to take with us tomorrow for the folks back in Kentucky. So before we left town, we decided to take a little stroll (yes, I said stroll) around the harbor. The following images are just a few of the beautifully turned out windows we wanted you to see vicariously! Happy Viewing! And if you would like to share some pics of your hometown, please do so in the comment section.

Yancey quotes extensively from classic writers and sketches scenes of doubting biblical figures as he grapples with making sense of a God who is personal, yet sometimes so elusive. Six different aspects of the Christian life are explored: our longing for God, who God is, the Holy Spirit, our faith, growth, and spiritual transformation. In his explorations, he reassembles the difficult and perplexing events of life around an ability to trust in a loving God. Trust is pivotal. Admitting that God's style "often baffles me," Yancey leaves no doubt that his framework of faith is still in place, that he sees "evidence of (God's) long-suffering, mercy, and desire to woo rather than compel--I have learned to trust God."
Here is the clear, concise writing mixed with deeply personal and authentic insights that won Yancey nine Gold Medallion Awards for previous books. Expect a 10th. --Cindy Crosby

This version's formula is nearly identical to that of the original Mederma (a product now known as Mederma Advanced Scar Gel), except the company added artificial coloring agents to appeal to kids. It is worth mentioning that young skin typically heals faster and better than aged, sun-damaged skin. Major scars are best dealt with by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon rather than over-the-counter products like this with mixed results as to whether or not it works. (Sources: The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, June 2012, pages 18-23; Dermatologic Surgery, February 2006, pages 193–197; Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, July 2002, pages 177-183; and Archives of Dermatology, December 1998, pages 1512–1514).
Due to mixed results from the research, we've softened our recommendation on Mederma for Kids: Although it's not a slam-dunk, it may prove helpful for some people, but children's wounds may have even better results from applying a scar-reducing serum loaded with beneficial skin-healing ingredients, so some experimentation may be needed.
Mederma for Kids helps soften and smooth old and new scars from cuts and scrapes, stitches, burns, bug bites and surgery. Goes on purple. Then disappears. So kids will think it's cool. Available without a prescription.
Water (Purified), PEG-4, Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract, Xanthan Gum, Allantoin, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Sorbic Acid, D&C Violet No. 2, FD&C Red No. 4
Selling products that promise to get rid of scars has become big business. Given how many people suffer from scars (be they from acne, wounds, or even stretch marks), and given how hard it is to get rid of them, it isn't surprising that Mederma is still going strong, touting its ability to reduce the appearance of scars of all types, including hypertrophic and keloidal (both examples of raised scars that are a source of concern for many people).

Reports » Malaysia
Malaysia stock market and companies daily report (February 15, 2013)
Ahmad Zaki Secures Approval For RM1.55b EKVE Highway
Ahmad Zaki Resources (AZRB) had received approval to proceed with the construction of the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE). The RM1.55 billion highway connecting the Silk Highway in Kajang to the Karak Expressway in Gombak will be built with a government loan of RM635 million. In an announcement on Wednesday, AZRB said it had entered into a concession agreement with the government for the design, construction, completion, operation, management and maintenance of the EKVE for a period of 50 years. The government agreed to provide the company with a loan for a maximum principal amount of RM635 million at an interest rate of four percent per annum, capitalised annually, subject to a separate agreement to be entered into between the government and the company, it said. According to RHB Research in a note last week, it expected AZRB to secure contracts with a cumulative value of RM500 million this year, only a third of the EKVEs contract value.
Significance: The EKVE contract which is worth RM1.55 billion is more than the value of AZRBs order book for the whole of last year (RM1.44 billion). The award is expected to significantly boost the companys construction business order book that currently stands at about RM2.3 billion.
Tebrau Teguh & UEM Land Stocks Rises On Iskandar Malaysia Theme
Shares of Tebrau Teguh and UEM Land rose in active trade on Thursday as interest builds up upon the Iskandar Malaysia theme. At 11.03am, Tebrau rose 4.5 sen to 92.5 sen with 4.37 million shares done. UEM Land climbed nine sen to RM2.20 with 3.73 million units done. Tebrau Teguh came into the spotlight following the proposed listing of its major shareholder Iskandar Waterfront Holdings. The listing which is slated for June is expected to raise more than US$300 million (RM912 million). The proposed market capitalisation was RM9 billion. As for UEM Land, its plan to sell some of its Johor land to prominent corporate players was viewed as positive by analysts as it would diversify its development risks and draw in reputable names into the development of Puteri Harbour. UEM Land had in January inked two sale and purchase agreements with Liberty Bridge (LBSB) to dispose of two parcels of land in Commercial North Puteri Harbour Nusajaya measuring about 29 acres and 14.7 acres for RM211.1 million and RM189.6 million, respectively.
Significance: Both UEM Land & Iskandar Waterfront Holdings are expected to benefit greatly from the latent demand for properties in Iskandar Malaysia which could come from house buyers seeking employment in Nusajaya and Singapore nationals who opt to live across the causeway due to lower living cost in Malaysia.
Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Shares Surge On Takeover Offer
Shares of Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor (KHSB) hit limit-up on Thursday following Kumpulan Darul Ehsan (KDEB)s offer to takeover 56.57 percent stake in KHSB for RM193.46 million or 76 sen a share. The counter closed yesterday at 68.5 sen, rose 30.5 sen or 80.26 percent with 8.31 million shares changing hands. According to a filling to Bursa Malaysia, KDEB is looking to buy out Kumpulan Perangsang Selangors (KPSB) stake in KHSB, whereas KPSB is required to reply within 10 days if it is agreeable to the offer. The acquisition is due to be completed within three months of the sale purchase agreement being drawn up. The offer price of 76 sen is 10.14 percent above the net asset per share of 69 sen as at 31 December, 2011. KHSD noted that the audited consolidated net assets of KHSB as at 31 December, 2011 was RM308.63 million.
Significance: KDEB intends to delist KHSB on the main market upon completion of the takeover. It is noted that the company does not intend to take any steps to address any shortfall in the public shareholding spread of the company in the event that it receive acceptances under the offer resulting a combine share ownership of more than 75 percent in the company.

New Heroes - Torchlight II Opening Cinematic Trailer
Check out a cinematic intro trailer for the upcoming role-playing game Torchlight II.
TL kicks ass! Nice to see real gamers making a real Gamers game. I love it! I bought it! And for every like or bad comment I see, I'll buy another copy to give ti a friend until im broke, because that is how I feel about real Gamers making great games.
What good is a game video without showing gameplay? This looks more like Shank than anything else.
I played it for a bit and I think as far as actual game play and dark style goes Diablo 3 has this beat. The only thing this game has going for it vs. Diablo 3 is no online DRM, but I do like some of its features like stats for gear and attribute points old school style. In the end though it's just not enough, and comes off as a lil bit too generic.
Mot much of a trailer in my opinion.
Anyways this have little to do with the games quality.
Just look at WH: Mark of Chaos..
Hey it's not Diablo! See what I did there? felt the need to point that out since most people talk about Diablo more then TL on TL's sections.
As far as I have seen game looks really nice and worth attention. So, my sggestion is no judge according trailer ;)
General style of the cinematic reminds me of Shank. I suppose it's the same artist. Still, it's a pretty generic cinematic.
Hope they fixed some thing from last game, it was not bad game but as I played more and more some generic stuff bored me to death...
I totally enjoyed Torchlight 1! The only thing i missed was a co-op mode so i can have fun with my friends. Now this has been fixed in Torchlight 2 i already see hours of fun with friends looting Torchlight 2 dungeons :)
Still dislike like this cartoon style art. However, I sold my armor in D3 for 25 USD for this game. FREE game hellyeah!
This is the game I am counting the days for, and I don't have to build a brand new i7 rig with a Nvidia 680 GTX or Ati 7970 to play it. Who said great gaming always has to mean a brand new build or upgrade. Runic Games you have a huge fan keep up the great work!
lol, after playing d3 intensely all the way to inferno, im saying from 3rd person perspective, this game might no sold as much as d3 did but it has a good chance to be more fun than 3.With the poor class balance, painful farming for random stats bs item, short and uninspired story line, fail organized AH, and no end game incentive, yes d3 is really in a mess right now in certain perspective. Torchlight 2 might look simple but at least it could be charming, addicting and "fun" without having the problem of number crunching the gear stats and cost if you want to do well in d3 end game.
This animation style can be effective when used properly, but for a game like this that is a competitor against the famed Diablo series, this animation is a step backwards imho.
Its sad to see people saying how they love diablo 2 and how diablo 3 will be better then torchlight 2. Maybe if they did there homework they would see that many of the original people from blizzard north aka creators of diablo 2 made torchlight and torchlight 2. Diablo 3 is made by people who made WOW oh yay lol
Being similar in terms of gameplay and mechanics to Diablo III, it's a tough to time to launch the game. It's like launching a Percy Jackson movie against Harry Potter- both great fantasies, but if you can only pick one to go see, most fans are going to Harry Potter. Its predecessor benefited from the Diablo fans that were hungry for something to tide them over for Diablo III. Launching against Diablo III is just going to be tough. Torchlight was a great game, and I wish nothing but success for its sequel. I am hopeful that Diablo III fans will budget some of their time for what I hope to be another great Torchlight. Go, go Runic Games!
ZOMG it being published by PERFECT *micro-transactions* WORLD. I'm having second thoughts now :/
@Kastigador I agree with LtReviews... I don't think it's that complicated. If the issue is that Blizzard is afraid that their game is going to be pirated (Which it would be) Then they have the right to worry. Let me set an example that I've already experienced: I bought their Starcraft 2 game at the release date, when I get back to the office, the fellas are already playing the cracked version of the game (Yes, even the cracked game was released the same date they release the game). That alone proves that it's unreasonable to make the always-online game. Also, I'm sure you know that Blizzard made an offline mode on Starcraft 2 yes? I'm sure they don't want their fans to be disappointed, that's why they got that offline mode patch. I just hope that they will do the same on Diablo 3. Still.. either way, I'm buying both Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3, but more likely I will be playing more time on Torchlight 2 (Especially if I got the sudden disconnection of the net)
@kastigador No, it would not be more complicated. People who jump in defense of this act like offline play would have to be "created" or like it would take any additional work. That is absurd. Code must be ADDED to the code already there at the game's base to make it so game data, almost like encrypted cookies, can only be received by their server, which can then return the response data that is needed for the game to run, as determined by additional code they've added. The very EXISTENCE of a always online verification system means that an offline component is already there, and has simply been made unavailable. And yes, the same mechanisms by which verification occurs, would also ensure any "offline" character data couldn't possibly be used online. There is no complicated process. They can't be duped.
just DIABLO III everything in DIABLO III is better than T2 I really LOVE DIABLO II yet and play it
Torchlight 2 is going to be amazing. I'd buy D3 as well but constant online connection required = no thanks.
I'm really looking forward to Torchlight 2. 3 x length of Torchlight + LAN Co-Op + low price = definite purchase. Diablo 3 + constant online + no LAN + high price = no thanks. :P Regarding the quality of the opening cinematic - it's a bit cheesy and understated, but I don't mind it. They don't have the same budget as Blizzard to make some awesome CGI intro - and tbh I'd rather they spent more money on the actual game content than have some apocalyptically gorgeous intro movie.
I'm not worried that D3 and T2 are going to be released near the same time - I think they are for different audiences. D3 looks great and I'm sure it'll be fun, but online only? no thanks. T1 was a gem of a game and T2 I think will continue that. I have to be honest here, I'll be pirating D3 in order to play it offline (like I have to do for Starcraft 2) and buying T2, simply because I know I won't get any DRM hassle from Runic.
D3 will still be very successful. Blizzard has that "Rockstar" brand name going for it even if it is dooming the longevity and popularity of its Diablo 3. Provided they nail the polish factor, T2 will also be successful but with a different niche fan base. Everyone is making a lot of fuss about the cash AH and the online mode only... The cash AH is simply the nature of the beast with (M)MORPG's... if it's not blizzard taking a small cut, it's ebay/paypal getting theirs. At least the money is going to the same company that runs the system the items reside in. The online mode I agree is annoying, but D3 is ultimately a MORPG thats long term popularity will hinge on competition in PVP etc. No doubt Blizzard wants to ensure all character data stays with them so nothing can be duped. Sure, they could create a completely offline mode only option, but now you're complicating an already lengthy Q&A process to satisfy a small minority. Trust me, I don't like it, but I understand why they made the decision to do what they did. I don't think its DRM as much as its centralizing control of accounts so people can't cheat. Is the cure worse than the disease? Well thats up for debate....
@ grokh if it was 10 yrs ago I would agree..but you're making a fatal mistake..Diablo's hype machine..it's gonna make a bajillion dollars just by brand name alone
its funny that torchlight 2 is being made by the people that made diablo 2, so in a way torchlight 2 is closer to being diablo 3 than diablo 3 itself. and with the screw ups from blizzard on diablo 3 aka no offline, no modding, client game must be online, and biggest of all real money AH. Torchlight 2 has a bigger chance of success.
Hope there will be more content this time, the first TL was fun but got frustratingly repetitive towards the end.
@zilcher aaaah, it has a demo...that means for the 'lame'man, 'we are not hiding from anything, dumbass' :)
@l2humpie wow! a fair opinion even if disagreed with on several points. But thanks for a valid opinion on a game.
@Oggy1985 you payed 60$ for a fremium game and you don't even realize it, i pity you and every single person the the real money AH in d3..
BUT, related to this game, the first one was the spiritual follow up to diablo 2, it's pretty much made by the original diablo team, and they didn't take 12 years to make it...
@dreamchaserwu yup. there is no reason to keep playing d3 unless you just like grinding endlessly for no real reason. Can't wait for T2 hoping its what we all thought D3 would be....ended up being far from anything anyone wanted. I'll be stunned if anyone is still playing in a year
It doesn't look like a 90s cartoon at all, it looks like a flash cartoon, a pretty well animated one at that. I WISH cartoons from back then looked like this though, that would've been awesome. I doubt my childhood self would be able to appreciate it though.
@grokh i agree, i looked forward to d3 for so long and was so dissapointed, given how fun d2 was. good job ruining an amazing game blizzard, hope this new crew from d2 does well with this game and more games to come
@maderrin not saying i disagree but i would say its got a better chance of not being AS repetitive as D3 is. I'm really stoked about T2 and hope it gets a great, loyal fanbase to drive towards and T3
@peteywentout What's your problem? Where did i pay 60$? Guess you're mistaking Diablo 3 for TL2 :D
Just don't troll the thread and focus on what other people actually write.

ROSELAND — A Roseland woman who was injured in a fall Jan. 26 continues to improve each day.
Cheryl Sidlo was leaving her son's house in Roseland when she missed a step and fell. When her chin hit the ground, it is believed the jolt from that caused a brain bleed.
She was rushed from the Mary Lanning Healthcare emergency room to St. Francis Medical Center in Grand Island where she received emergency surgery to try to stop the bleeding.
Initially the prognosis wasn't good.
Sidlo's family was told the amount of swelling and bleeding on the right side of her brain could cause paralysis on the left side of her body, but there would be the possibility of some movement on the right side.
"She came out of surgery, but it was still kind of grim at that time," said Emily Sidlo, Cheryl's daughter. "She's been progressing every day since then."
This Sunday, the Roseland and Assumption Knights of Columbus and the Roseland Fire Department are organizing a soup supper benefit for Sidlo from 5-7 p.m. in the Roseland fire hall. Chicken noodle and chili will be served.
During the benefit, raffle tickets will be sold for cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50. Everything is a free-will donation with proceeds going to the Sidlo family to help with medical expenses.
For anyone unable to attend the benefit but who wishes to donate, a savings account dubbed "Cheryl Sidlo Benefit" has been set up at area Pinnacle banks. Checks should be made out to Ron Sidlo and "Benefit Cheryl Sidlo" should be written on the memo line.
Donations can be dropped off at any Pinnacle Bank branch or mailed to Pinnacle Bank, P.O. Box 98, Roseland, 68973.
Emily started a CaringBridge page to provide updates about her mother. She said her mother is alert but tired all the time.
Cheryl was moved to Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln on Feb. 12. Between speech, physical and occupational therapy, she has 2 to 2 1/2 hours of therapy each day.
She is starting to talk and can wave.
"We are very pleased with the progress she's made," Emily said. "She's made tons of progress, moving more and trying to communicate with us."
Sidlo's family asked well-wishers to make flowers to decorate her room, creating what they are calling Cheryl's Garden.
The longtime Roseland resident has worked about 20 years as the bookkeeper for E-Z Kitchens, 2215 W. Second St.
Since the fall, Sidlo and her family have received support from co-workers, Roseland residents, family members, friends and friends of her children.
"It means a lot to us to know how much support we have in the community," Emily said.
"It's just very touching to know how much Mom has meant to our family and friends and everybody in the community."

This study is intended as a supplement to the NAS Trading article, "This long term trend model has dominated buy and hold" posted at NAS Trading and on Seeking Alpha.
In this article, we evaluated a moving average system using monthly S&P500 index data going back 60+ years. One weakness of the study is that we used an index rather than an investable security. Lets look at the results of the same system, but using SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) data from 1994 to present (which is all we can use given this securities more limited history). Here are the results using a 10MA:
As you can see (and similar to the 10 month lookback system) this approach as historically dominated buy and hold. One important concept in trading system development is to focus on concepts rather than specific rule-sets. Ideally, you want to be able to test a basic idea using a wide variety of different specific trading rules and parameters and find that they all work in a similar fashion.
Lets look at the results using an 8 – 16 month moving average, stepping two months at a time:
All of the parameters we have tested do reasonably well, once again much like our original "lookback" approach.

Help!I keep getting a message that my trial is over but I can't get it renewed or whatever I need to do. I thought that I updated to the newest version. Can anyone direct me to a link to get the free protection that I can keep on this laptop? |

it is free you must have chosen to get the trial version of the pro and now that part has expired you want just the regular free version which will not do that. Please use this link at bleeping computer to download from so you get exactly what you want. |
RC, there is no big blue download now arrow on the page that your link connects to. Casi, the link that azinoh gave is good. Just be sure you choose the Free version. |

The one problem with the one on malwarebytes site is in some cases it links to the cnet download.com sites and there have been several cases of people getting some things other than what they wanted. Which is why we have been giving out the bleeping computer link. I accidentally gave the link to all the malwarebytes products before. This one is for malwarebytes free. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link
Thanks all! I got it! |
Well, I've got problems. I did the download, let it do it's updates and then attempted a scan. The laptop got locked up after 18 min. I shut it down and restarted and got a message that my Malewarebytes protection had ended (trial was over). So, I redid the download and attempted another scan and got locked up in 11 min. What do I do now? Something is definitely not right. This is an HP with Windows 7 Home premium OS. I also have Avast on it. |
It looks to me like it might have been best to have uninstalled the trial Pro version before downloading the free version. Maybe uninstall it and download and install the free version again? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Keeps telling me it has expired

Yes Do a full removal of everything malwarebytes on your computer, then go back and download and install. |
Okay, I did a full removal of the Malwarebytes, downloaded and installed the new, attempted a scan. It locked up again; the Alt,control,delete thing did not recover it so I had to do a forced shut down. I knew something was going on with the thing. What is the best thing to do? Should I do a restore point thing? |
Were you doing the Malwarebytes scan because you think you might have a virus ?? Or just because it was time for a scan. I'm sort of curious if you used the mbam-clean.exe to clean up the uninstall of Malwarebytes ? Its a shame its not working for you. Something else maybe is wrong if you used the cleanup tool. I would certainly go to a restore point before this started, if I had run that cleanup tool... if you haven't run it,, do so before trying a restore.... but then you need to remove malwarebytes pro again because its likely to come back in full or partially. |
Okay, I did a full removal of the Malwarebytes, Did you use mbam-clean.exe? See link below. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Use mbam-clean.exe to completely remove Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
I did the link that was provided by Chemocurl which says it was the mbam-clean.exe. Yes, I was doing the scan because I am worried that something is going on with the machine since it has been without coverage for awhile. I saw when I re-installed the Malewarebytes that on the last of the installation, at the point it says "finish" there were 3 boxes that were checked....one to set up an update, one to do a scan, I believe and another to set up the option of doing a trial "pro", which is probably how I ended up with it in the first place. I unchecked that box before I hit "finish". So, I guess I'll try to do a restore point. |
Good luck. Please keep us posted. Sue |
I did the restore thing, then attempted a scan with the Malwares....it got stuck after 10 min. but I was able to abort the scan and start over which finally completed successfully with no infections. So I think I'm okay???? |

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 Fran!
Facts about Fran
- Breed: Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Fran's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
If there was a breed listing for a gorgeous young lady that is what we would have chosen for Fran. She was an owner surrender when he decided he just didn't want her anymore. Fran is on the smaller side, weighing around 25 pounds and was born on February 14th, 2012. She loves everyone she meets, cats, dogs and humans alike.
The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not meet he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
Other Pets at Beebe Humane Society's Desperate House Dogs (NH)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fran, a Salem Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Salem, or seeking a Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Salem.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Salem 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 Salem 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/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Salem paves the way for another one to be saved.

2011 Record: 63-99, fifth place
It's early morning and the sun is shining bright through the windows and into the eyes of a sleeping Justin Morneau, waking him from his concussed slumber.
"Oh the light! How it hurts my brain!" exclaims Morneau.
Morneau's yelling wakes Joe Mauer, who is sleeping in the bed next to him.
"What? Is everything okay, Justin!? What's wrong?"
"It's just the bright light of the sun, Joe. It hurts my brain oh so much."
Mauer rubs Morneau's forehead and tells him "not to worry, everything is going to be all right."
SUDDENLY both men notice Carl Pavano sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed, smiling, one hand stroking his mustache and the other hand out of sight. Startled, both Mauer and Morneau fall out of bed. Morneau hits his head on the ground, knocking himself unconscious. Mauer, lying prone on the ground, finds that he can't stand up. His legs are just too tired.
Both go on the disabled list forever.
Carl Pavano goes on to make 34 starts, firing his 85MPH fastball at Twins-starter speed.
The Twins go on to win only 55 games, with 15 of those wins coming against the White Sox.
The baseball season ends, and Vikings season begins.
Twins fans then commit mass suicide.
The end.

Equipped with a mediocre 5-megapixel camera, the ZTE Warp takes passable pictures in a pinch, but it won't blow anyone away with its image quality. Colors in my test shots were washed out and details were fuzzy, and the autofocus takes a long 2 seconds or so to lock on to subjects. The Warp's LED flash didn't blow out people or objects in the foreground, but it did paint them with a bluish hue in low-light conditions.
Though the camera software is typical for Gingerbread, the phone does offer more advanced settings such as 50Hz and 60Hz Anti Banding, manual ISO, saturation, and sharpness.
Like the still shots, video was disappointing. The Warp's camcorder tops out at VGA resolution, and sadly movies I recorded in both MPEG4 and H.264 formats were blocky and poorly detailed, with muted colors.
I tested the CDMA (EV-DO, Rev. A) ZTE Warp on Boost Mobile's network, technically Sprint's, in New York. Voices came through the earpiece very loud and crystal-clear. Callers on the other end also reported that I sounded remarkably clean, warm, and without any distortions. Calls piped though the ZTE Warp's speakerphone, while not booming, also had a satisfying amount of volume.

Those expecting a high-octane Android fire-breather will not find one in the ZTE Warp's middling specs. The handset is powered by a 1GHz single-core Snapdragon processor and 512MB of RAM, and its Linpack benchmark score of 37.7 (single-core) is underwhelming. Still, I experienced no lag when navigating menus and opening apps.
The phone's slow 3G data connection isn't too exciting either. I logged average download speeds of a low 1.35Mbps with uploads clocking in 0.87Mbps. That's certainly not in the 4G ballpark, which can scorch the airwaves at 15Mbps down and 7Mbps up (Verizon LTE). Still, the Warp's data performance was typical for 3G. In fact, it was faster than the iPhone 4S on Sprint's network (0.45Mbps down, 0.47Mbps up), the same infrastructure Boost Mobile uses.
ZTE makes rather vague claims about the Warp's battery life. The company says it provides a usage time of five days and standby time of nine days and 9 hours. I can verify that the phone definitely has staying power for an Android device, staying powered up for over 24 hours with light use (checking e-mail, making quick calls, and playing audio files).
ZTE's Warp isn't exactly a tech lover's dream. The $199 handset is specced out with mediocre parts, including a camera that won't wow anyone, wrapped in a pretty tame design. Still, the Warp provides all the Android Gingerbread essentials plus enough horsepower to get the job done, if not in style. If you can live with the Warp's pedestrian 3G data speeds, it's a compelling no-contract smartphone option.

Wu-Tang is the CD that I travel with
from Wu-Tang Clan – Gravel Pit Lyrics on Genius
To all the kids out there a cd was a small disk that played music, when combined with a device known as a cd player. People would carry these around with them and change them when they wanted to change songs. I know, those were strange times!

Glam's Velvet Goldmine Marks End of McCarren's Film Season
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine
| | More
Velvet Goldmine, director Todd Haynes' 1998 cult classic, is androgyny at its most glamorous. Based on the rumored romance between Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the 1970s, the film explores the meteoric rise and faked death of glam-rock singer Brian Slade (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and loosely based on Bowie). Gritty American singer and object of Slade's affection, Curt Wild (Goldmine's rendition of Pop), is played by Ewan McGregor. In reality, plot plays second to the musical numbers in the film—think "Bowie" from Flight of the Conchords but more dramatic than comedic. The over-the-top costumes and dark lighting throughout create a fantastical world where even a straight and narrow actor like Christian Bale, who plays a reporter covering Slade's death, can jump head first into the counter culture. McCarren Park Pool, a venue known for great music itself, provides the perfect setting for watching a movie lamenting the death of an era as its own final season comes to an end.

Arrived at the theatre and took my seat early. Stage was set out as a huge pub. Members of the cast were there playing fast, lively music to audience members also on the stage and I thought, this is going to be a great night. Unfortunately, I was completely wrong. Once the audience took their seats, the lights went down and the happy atmosphere followed them.
Now, I can't say 100% why I didn't like this production. The cast were very talented, the musicians were, on the whole pretty good (though I thought the piano might need re-tuning at certain points) but to me this wasn't a musical in the traditional sense.
It felt as if someone had found a CD of the dullest and most despondent Irish songs and decided to write an extremely thin story around them, Nobody goes to a play expecting it to make sense or be logical all the way through, but the scene with the bank manager was so forced and untenable that I was left feeling cheated by it.
Positive points, well there were a few. The stage set is amazing but here again the play lets itself down. the majority of the set is a Dublin pub but there is only one scene actually in the pub (though it does get used in the interval to sell real drinks to those members of the audience that want to use it). The lighting rig was tremendous and very flexible, which was useful as there were no follow spots.
And thats it really. Would I see it again? Nope, not a chance (though I would like to see the movie which is apparently completely different) Am I in a minority in my opinion of this play? Well, possibly. All reviews are subjective by nature and this was the first musical that really didn't work for me.

I am in Zurich, Switzerland right now, listening to the bells of the clocktower outside ring 5:00am. I am supposed to be sound asleep, but whether it is the time change or the massive amount of chocolate I ate today I am not able to keep my eyes closed for long. I am in town for a tour of the famous Lindt chocolate factory, which is located in Kilchberg, a short 4 miles from Zurich.
We landed in Zurich today and had time to explore the area on our own. Without any maps or an idea of where I was going, I set out down the street and three bakeries immediately found me. I stopped in the first one to buy a sandwich for lunch, and picked a pretzel bread rolled out in a long, tube shape. I couldn't see the inside of the sandwich, but figured it would be harmless enough since it looked like your average Eastern European pretzel. It turned out to be a pickle and butter sandwich, which is my worst nightmare. I hate pickles and any butter on sandwiches, so this one went straight into the trash.
At the next bakery I could see a slice of ham sticking out from a croissant, and ordered that by pointing and saying the only word I know in German — bitte (please). Of course the woman identified me as a English speaker immediately and said "Oh, you want this one." Grateful for not having to look like a mute by just pointing at things, I immediately said yes and took the sandwich outside without asking any further questions. I was relieved to find it actually was a ham sandwich, but to my surprise it had about a cup of cream cheese filling on the inside. I see this town is certainly not health conscious! After my lunch needs had been met, I set out to explore the town without any intention of stopping in another bakery, but then I saw Confiserie Sprüngli just steps from where I was standing.
Earlier today I learned that the Lindt company name is actually Lindt & Sprüngli, so I was intrigued to see a store by a similar name. Lindt focuses exclusively on chocolates, and I was surprised to see a range of cakes, chocolates and cookies for sale in Sprüngli. Intrigued by this wide offering, I made several rounds of the store and watched what the locals were buying. I quickly realized that the main draw in the store was a batch of colorful macaroons on display in the front case.
Known here as Luxemburgerli, old women and young couples alike were filling large boxes with them to take home. They came in citron, mocha, chocolate, vanilla and many other flavors, and the different colored cookies looked beautiful packaged together in a box.
I'm usually not a fan of macaroons, but since they seemed to be the most popular choice and I could easily order a box by pointing, I opted to take home an assortment myself. After purchasing my 100 g package for 8.50 CHF, I noticed the little sticker on the top said they are best eaten immediately. They didn't have to tell me twice, and I sat down on a bench by the lake to try one.
I ate the chocolate Luxemburgerli first, and immediately followed it with the citron and mocha. They were fantastic and I could barely stop myself from eating the entire box. The cookies melt in your mouth, leaving behind a wonderfully flavorful and sugary taste. I believe my aversion to macaroons comes from eating older ones that have hardened, and I now understand why Sprüngli recommends eating them as soon as possible. The difference is astonishing, and I am a converted macaroon fan.
Still confused why Confiserie Sprüngli was offering a range of pastries in addition to chocolates, I asked the CEO of Lindt & Sprüngli to explain. It seems that chocolate in Switzerland is a family affair, and that Confiserie Sprüngli was started by a family member of the one that started Lindt & Sprüngli. Confiserie Sprüngli uses chocolate from Lindt to make their truffles, but they are a completely different company and all products are made separately. This talent for dessert must run in the family genes, since both companies have been going strong since the 1800s and make fantastic products.
I look forward to learning more about Lindt & Sprüngli tomorrow, I just hope I can keep my eyes open during the tour.

I assume the Cobb County compost facility is still open, since it's still on the gov't webpage. My friend just bought a house and is starting a brand new garden on a poorly maintained lot. It's all clay and weeds. The Cobb County facility looked like a good place to get free compost, since she's young and broke.
My question is: is this stuff safe for vegetable gardens? I didn't know they used municipal waste in the process. There are a lot of strong chemicals used to clean our houses, and people inappropriately dump all sorts of things down the drain. Does this get completely filtered out? Does anyone know anything about the safety or recommended usage of their compost? Thanks! |

I think you should call their extension office and ask where the materials for the compost comes from. Here in Dekalb our compost comes from roadside pick ups of chewed up shrubbery, old leaves and grass clippings. Who knows what people put on their grass? I won't use it in my veggie garden, but I do in the non-edible plants areas. |

I've used the Cobb County compost for a while, like GGG I used it in my non-edible beds. However this year I put a load on some of my raised beds. Prior to doing this I researched the compost, it's 'Class A', which is safe for food crops according to the EPA's regulations. Specifically, Class A compost has negligable levels of disease organisms left, vs Class B which has very very low levels. Years ago there was also a concern over compost from residential waste having elevated levels of heavy metals, but due to general EPA regs removing these from products that's no longer much of an issue. The real question is do you trust the facility to maintain their standards, so that it really is Class A with no variation. Only someone with intimate knowledge of the facility would be able to answer that. I guess I do trust it :) I regularly drink tap water over bottled and figure it's safe so there's an example of my mentality for you. As for what's in it - you name it. It's 'Bio Blend', which includes treated sewage sludge (poop!) and garbage, with the non-compostable bits filtered out. I've noticed that different batches have varying levels of 'bits' still in it, such as the odd plastic straw or some such. There is also sometimes a slight manure-like smell, which disappears in a few weeks. Overall, however, I think it's good stuff, a fabulous soil amendment for our clay. As for other chemicals in it, I'm not as concerned because I personally believe the concentrations would be slight. Our backyard has been churned up and used to have a pool in it, I figure there's as much unknown chemical crud in the soil already as there would be in that compost. More important to me is what fertilizers and chemicals I spray on my plants, which is next to none. Interestingly, I read articles about the Cobb facility regarding public perception of the compost, and the fact that it has an image problem because of the source of the raw materials. They'd need some marketing campaign to make people feel comfortable with it, as there is a general distrust of anything with human sludge in it. But with proper treatment, it's a safe as potting soil, but no one instinctively trusts it. We'll see how my veggies turn out this year. |

Last weekend I attended a presentation on composting at the Southeastern Flower Show. According to the presenter, grass clippings from treated lawns are safe to use in compost for the garden, because the chemicals will burn off during the composting process. She is an organic gardener, and says that she will use grass clippings from her neighbors, etc. in her own garden, so I would think that that shows confidence. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Thu, Feb 5, 09 at 13:11
Unfortunately, chemicals do not "burn off" and using grass from chemically treated gardens does not fall into the definition of organic. I follow both the USDA guidelines for organic growing and the American standards for "All Natural"- grass clippings from treated lawns are not acceptable. |
