Guidelines on how to make it easier for consumers to get information about healthcare prices.
By Quintin Harris
The Nebraska critical access hospital's recent outreach efforts have been part of a methodical, conscious effort to better prepare it for the future of healthcare delivery. These efforts culminated most recently in a replacement facility that was built with physician input, responds to community demands, and has so much buy-in that residents and staff have actually invested in the bonds issued to fund it.
Building the reputation has been about a six-year process that started with listening, grew into talking, and became a two-way conversation that has so far resulted in a lower interest rate on the hospital's debt, an easier time recruiting, more satisfied patients, and a long-term strategy for strength.
Beatrice Community Hospital used to suffer from a lack of mutual understanding between its board and its physicians. It took CEO Thomas W. Sommers two years to recruit, at the community's request, the hospital's first female obstetrician.
So with a new facility in the long-term plan, Sommers started surveying physicians and the community to determine and integrate their needs and demands, and he relied on physician input in the new hospital's design.
Sommers also started bringing both physicians and board members to hospital governance institutes. He tasked the board members with listening to physicians' insights on how they function within Beatrice, and the physicians with attending education sessions to better understand the implications and intricacies of operating as a not-for-profit.
"This hospital is the most complex organization in the community, and revenues are really large," Sommers said. "If you're going to ask local people to manage it, they need to understand how. And the physicians need to be the ones who set the direction of where we go, but once they do that, they can't micromanage."
Five physicians attend board meetings; four have a vote. The feeling of empowerment and Beatrice's reputation for physician inclusion has spread. Beatrice recently hired its second female pediatrician, fulfilling the community's request for more female obstetricians and pediatricians. It took 60 days.
Coinciding with in-depth community surveys and identification of service priorities, Sommers lifted the curtain on Beatrice's plans, its finances, and its pricing. An eight-page annual report details Beatrice's income statement, and the report is explained in-depth on the hospital's bimonthly radio show, "To Your Health," prior to its distribution.
"If we are ashamed of the bottom line, then we are making too much money," Sommers said. "We are a not-for-profit organization. We're really owned by the community, and we have to provide our dividends in service to the community."
Sommers explains on the radio, in person, and in the local media why a hospital needs liquidity to issue debt, how that relates to pricing, and how Beatrice's pricing compares to national averages. He also explains his recruitment efforts and how they respond to community demands for female obstetricians, pediatricians, and hospitalists.
He shared pictures at community meetings, rotary clubs, the Chamber of Commerce, and other public events, explaining the new facility's design in terms of more modern hospitals familiar to the community (for example, a women's hospital outside Omaha known for its all-private rooms and comfortable atmosphere). He thereby put forth a vision stakeholders could relate to. He detailed the thinking behind building the new hospital on the north side of town, on the way to Lincoln, Neb., where it could absorb projected growth from the capital city.
And when the time came for the hospital to issue $45 million to build the replacement facility, it was the community that literally bought in: Nebraska banks and residents literally invested in the hospital by purchasing 38 percent of the bonds.
Beatrice Community Hospital went into its financing with the intention of involving the community in the process. The hospital requested that local banks and individuals have the opportunity to purchase the bonds.
"We've constantly hit this theme that the members of community are the shareholders of the organization," Sommers said. "That's as close as we could get to having common stock or preferred stock."
The hospital's underwriters carved out a separate series of bonds with shorter maturities to appeal to local investors; thus, 38 percent of the $45 million was sold via retail distribution rather than to institutional investors. The entire amount was issued as bank-qualified bonds, which, along with the community's support as a key element of the hospital's credit profile, helped reduce the interest rate.
The community outreach continued with the help of the Beatrice Area Chamber of Commerce, which helped connect local contractors with the hospital. One local counter and cabinet company will be hiring new employees partly because of the hospital project. Electrical work went to another local business within the community of 13,000 people.
"When I came here six years ago, I didn't hear a lot about the hospital," Chamber President Lori Warner said. "Now, we have more people locally that are willing to come to our hospital. Residents say the quality is better.
"Tom and his staff have really been proactive. They're listening to the community."

Another simple weave (6th Gen.) made alongside TabScale Inverse as a combo of the 2 Flat TabScale variants. This is incredibly flexible especially compared to the Reinforced ver, but overall it feels bleak. This uses 16 ga 1/4 AR 4.2 Bright Aluminum Rings I purchase mine from TheRingLord, but as long as they are 1/4 and 14-18 ga any ring should work fine. I chose Bright Aluminum to match properly with the aluminum can tabs.
- Difficulty: 1/5 – This is very easy to do.
- Flexibility: 5/5 – It bends any way you want it.

1. Lay the tabs out with the second row on top of the 1st and 3rd.
2. Put a ring through the 2nd rows upper and lower half.
3. Continue out width-wise as you wish.
4. Lay a 4th row ontop of the 3rd row's upper half.
5. Connect with a ring.
6. This is basically the same as 4 but you go underneath.
7. And connect.
8. Continue this out as you wish for swatch size.
9. Connecting swatches is as easy as step 3.

Okay, now I have to go try this place! It sounds so good!
Restaurant: Ohana
Where: Polynesian Hotel
Meal: Dinner (AYCE served Family style)
When: Sunday, May 29, 2005
Menu: http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menu_oh.htm
Who: DH and I
We first tried this place on our last trip and fell in love with it. As you may or may not know, Ohana is an all you can eat restaurant served family style. And as far I am concerned, family style is the best way to do all you can eat. The restaurant also offers entertainment in the form of kids having coconut races and hula hooping while some Hawaiian woman sings some songs. Also, if you book your meal at the right time you can catch Wishes from inside while you dine.
Your meal starts off with a pineapple and coconut bread as your cousin seats you. It was good, but different from the bread we had in December. We placed our drink orders. I was contemplating a Lapu Lapu (Myers rum and tropical juices served in a pineapple and topped with Bacardi 151), but I wanted to enjoy my meal and not fall over from the drink alone. So, DH ordered a piña colada. I ordered an Island Sunset (spiced rum, Malibu, melon liqueur and peach schnapps combined with guava passion fruit juice). DH loved his drink so much; he ordered another one didnt finish it though.
Onto the meal! It features your appetizers/sides on a lazy susan that include:
Stir Fried Green Beans and Onions (We got these minus the bacon.)
Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Shrimp and Vegetable Wonton (We totally skipped these.)
Honey Coriander Chicken Wings
Stir-Fried Rice
I love the dressing on the salad and really enjoyed the stir-fried rice. Im not much into stir-fried rice at all, but I got my fill on this. DH seemed to enjoy the wings; he polished off several of them! Next up .the skewers!
Ohana offers you four skewers of meat and they bring them around right from the pit area:
Grilled Tiger Shrimp (We skipped this totally, but DH had it last time and loved them!)
Marinated Sirloin Steak
Mesquite Seasoned Turkey
Barbecue Pork Loin (We skipped this too since neither one of us eat pork.)
Dipping Sauces: Fruit, Peanut and Cilantro Ginger
Mmm...I think the turkey won out this time. Nice and juicy and great in various dipping sauces. I got another helping of the turkey. DH actually liked the fruit dipping sauce on the salad.
We successfully managed to save room for dessert! DH got the coconut ice cream. It was a coconut ice cream covered in toasted coconut. It looked really, really good. Good enough for me to even try some; and I hate coconut. I ordered the Kona coffee and Irish Cream Crème Brulee. Mmmm crème brulee. Whats not to love about crème brulee I ask you?
Overall the service here was above average. I love how Disney waitstaff/chefs can accommodate various food allergies w/o much notice. I just explain I need to avoid all fish/seafood and for DH no pork products. They then tell us what has what; and we go from there! Its great.
Well be returning to Ohana next trip. Its one of our favorites.
COMING NEXT: Chef Mickeys
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Okay, now I have to go try this place! It sounds so good!
Thank you Amanda....I would love a place like this and you convinced her!!!
Gawrsh! Hyuk!
We went there for the first time last year and loved it so much we have a PS for it this year.
April! If we are there the same time as you, we'll join you! Don't you love it when people just invite themselves?
They just need to add Lilo and Stitch to the breakfast. Come on Disney, what are you waiting for?
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...

The backscatter coefficient of a surface changes with the wavelength,
polarization, and incidence angle of the radar energy. The magnitude
of the echo and the variation in the return with changes in the
above parameters can be linked to surface roughness, to the bulk
dielectric constant of the material, and occasionally to subsurface
scattering when the dielectric losses in the material are low.
Surface roughness can in turn be treated as a combination of scatterers
at a wide range of spatial scales, whose effect on the backscatter
varies. Therefore, numerous possible explanations exist for variations
in backscatter; however, we can make some general statements based
on terrestrial radar studies.
ROCKY SURFACES (THOSE HAVING NO SOIL COVER): At incidence angles >30o, the changes in HH (horizontal transmit, horizontal receive) backscatter coefficient are directly correlated with roughness at the scale of the wavelength and the bulk dielectric constant of the surface. The effect of the two changes is illustrated in figure 2 with results from Hawaii. This plot shows that changes in wavelength-scale roughness will likely be the dominant cause of radar brightness variations in areas of Venus where the dielectric constant is <10 (that is, everywhere below about 6,053 km in planetary radius). Values of 8-9 are the maximum found for terrestrial dense basalt samples.
At incidence angles near or below 30o, the HH backscatter
cross section may not represent the wavelength-scale roughness
of the surface, because large "quasi-specular" facets
begin to play a role in the measured echo. For terrestrial lava
flows, this can lead to a complete loss of roughness discrimination
or contrast reversals between smooth and rough terrain at angles
of 20-30o. Dielectric effects are similar to those
seen at more oblique angles, in that we expect a linear variation
in backscatter with changes in the Fresnel reflectivity. This
loss in discrimination, for lava flows on Kilauea,
is shown on figure 3. In using the Magellan images at these incidence
angles, one can expect that many lava flow fields will appear
rather featureless relative to those viewed at more oblique angles.
SURFACES HAVING A POROUS COVERING: At all incidence angles, the backscatter cross section will drop as a result of attenuation by loose mantling material. The average dielectric constant will also fall if the soil is simply a less dense version of the base rock (see the emissivity sections below). If the soil is deep (>1 m), has a low loss factor, and contains wavelength-size rocks, the observed backscatter could be much higher than that of a solid smooth surface having the same population of rocks per unit area. Such deep-soil scenarios do not seem likely on Venus (although they are common on the Moon), but shallow soils almost certainly occur in some areas. An estimate of the amount of loss within soils can be obtained using equations found in Ulaby et al. [1987, p. 67, 847]. For two-way passage through a layer, the power (P) lost due to attenuation will be
(3) |
where h is the layer depth,
is the radar wavelength in vacuum (12.6 cm for Magellan),
is the real part of the soil dielectric constant,
is the incidence angle in the soil (after refraction), and
is the microwave "loss tangent" of the soil. Loss tangent
is the ratio of the imaginary and real parts of the complex dielectric
constant, and typical values for dry lunar soil at radar wavelengths
are 0.002 to 0.02. This equation can provide an estimate of the
depth of a mantling layer if there is a good estimate of the backscatter
coefficient of an unmantled surface (for example, a lava flow
which is partially covered by fine crater ejecta [see Campbell et al., 1992]).
PRESENTATION OF DATA: What does this mean for mapping conventions? There are clearly problems in trying to make comparisons between rock units seen at widely varying geometries, and mappers working with data at smaller incidence angles can expect to see a diminished dynamic range between rough and smooth surfaces. Rather than try to force a set of interpretive conventions on everyone, a radar correlation chart may be produced, which presents the mean backscatter properties of various units in comparison to the Venus average and selected terrestrial analog terrains. Sources for these comparative values can be found in Plaut [1991], Arvidson et al. [1992], Campbell and Campbell [1992], and Gaddis [1992]. A sample plot of this type is shown in figure 4, where scales in angle and cross section are recommended as a template for use on Venus maps. When multiple-angle data are available, units can have a portion of their backscatter function plotted on this diagram. The correlation chart serves the dual purpose of helping the mapper make informed judgements as to what are real changes in surface roughness within their areas (versus the subjective effects of image contrast stretching) and provides readers with a means to extrapolate results from one map to another at their own peril.
The radar backscatter coefficients for the Hawaiian lava flows and the Muhleman scattering law used in figure 4 are available as ascii data files over the Internet (app. 3), and it is suggested that all correlation charts use at least these comparison curves. If the radar behavior of other terrestrial terrains is needed to illustrate unit properties (for example, echoes from silicic domes or dry soil layers), mappers should feel free to add them to the diagram. The 12.6-cm (S-band) lava flow echoes shown were interpolated from 6-cm (C-band) and 24-cm (L-band) AIRSAR data using the relationship
| (4) |
The unit description should contain only the data product from which the backscatter information was obtained (for example, C1-30n045) and the latitude and longitude boundaries of the example site (pixel values within an image should not be used, since the reader may wish to examine the site using a different product). Actual values of backscatter coefficient and other parameters (emissivity, rms slope, Fresnel reflectivity, and elevation) should be placed in tables on the map sheet. For any given unit, the mapper should provide the mean, standard deviation, pixel scale, and the number of samples used to find the backscatter coefficient of the example site. Situations may arise where the standard deviation of the backscatter data is larger than the mean value, which may indicate a poorly chosen or very small test site that has widely varying brightness or a skewed probability distribution.
A single example area may not represent the full range of behavior within a given terrain unit, such as a volcano with interfingered bright and dark lava fields. If the mapper feels that the range of backscatter is significant, two averages could be quoted to illustrate the variation in properties across the unit. Map reviewers will need to check the selection and description of these example sites to ensure consistency. The interpretation section of the unit label should include a discussion of the significance of these results to the nature of the unit, particularly where surface properties appear to diverge significantly from the average behavior. An example data table corresponding to the Venus sample sites plotted in figure 4 is shown in table 2; all of these data were produced using the two programs (mgn_data and anc_data) discussed in the Appendixes.

Wound exudate and the role of dressings: a consensus document
Complex wounds, Skin integrity, Wellbeing and concordance, Wound bed preparation
This consensus document has been adopted by the World Union of Wound Healing Societies as an educational initiative and provides principles for best practice on exudate management and the role of dressings.
The document represents the consensus opinion of a group of international experts, who discussed the lack of evidence, expert guidance in the field and the technical complexity of dressings. This highlighted the need for a document with a practical focus that describes what exudate is, what it tells us and how to assess and manage exudate.
The content is aimed at all healthcare professionals involved in wound management, and is designed to be adaptable for local use in countries worldwide. Ultimately, it is anticipated that the recommendations will help to improve clinical outcomes, enhance patients' quality of life and aid resource allocation.

Next to the camellia hedge I grew a row of sweet potatoes. They are in the shade of the hedge for most part of the day, so they are only doing OK, nothing like in the full sun. It's time to harvest the SP now, and I would love to plant some sort of alliums, my new found love. Which one can tolerate more shade, garlic, onion, or leek? |

They all love sun, but garlic and onions will give pathetic bulbs if planted in shade. Leeks at least don't need peeling, so even if they're dinky you can dice them up and use them. Same for true bunching onions. |
- Posted by promethean_spark 9b CA (My Page) on Fri, Oct 29, 10 at 13:01
It's about the right time to start onions from seed and put garlic in the ground. I only get huge leeks from plants in their second season, but I guess it depends on the type of leek. Mine are American Flag, which is a long season 'overwintering' leek. If your leeks end up dinky, you can cut off their water in the late spring and they'll die back to a small bulb, which can be planted in the fall to produce a huge leek next year. |

Quoted from Trvlgrl70 ... I purchased the swami software and it has me as 42% HUNTER, which is very strange to me seeing that I have a longer torso , longer upper leg etc, which are all characteristics of gatherer. So should I really trust that or just continue to follow the gatherer diet?
Quoted from Pixitron How much is the swami software, and is it worth purchasing?
Quoted from Trvlgrl70 Actually, I have been following the BTD for about 12-15 years, and did cut out wheat, dairy, sugar- which made me feel SOOOOOO much better immediately. I have been following the gatherer diet for about 4 years and can't say that I felt "bad" on it, which is why I was really surprised to see the SWAMI say 42% HUNTER. I never felt "off" on the gatherer diet which I know some folks have claimed when they started to follow a certain diet according to their measurements.
Quoted from Mrs T O+ SWAMI was about $70 a few years ago.
Quoted from Pixitron If swami is Internet programme, why does the software have to be physically delivered?! Why cant I buy username and password online?

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 Taft!
Facts about Taft
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Taft's Info...
I am already neutered.
Meet Taft, a lab mix who looks like a hound! He is 11 weeks old, and weighs 18 pounds. Taft is a friendly pup with a calm manner. Taft is new to Adopt a Pet and still settling in to his foster home. We will update you as we learn more!
We don't know anything about Taft's parents, so he needs to be adopted by someone willing to take pot luck in terms of his breed and how big he grows! Since he's still young, Taft needs a family where someone is home part or all day to get him potty-trained as well as keep him exercised and socialized.
You can meet Taft at Wilmette Pet Center, 625 Green Bay Road, anytime during store hours 7 days a week. (847-251-6750). Although you may want to adopt him on the spot, please know that you will have to go through the adoption process first.
Taft's adoption fee of $325 includes: vet exam, DHAPP (distemper combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, flea & tick preventative, deworming, microchip and neuter.
Other Pets at Adopt-A-Pet, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Taft, a Mt. Prospect Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Mt. Prospect, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Mt. Prospect.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mt. Prospect 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 Mt. Prospect 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 Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mt. Prospect paves the way for another one to be saved.

*Top 100 Wines of 2013, Editors' Choice* From its musky, perfumed to nose to its intensely honeyed, dried-peachand apricot-flavored palate, everything about this wine is mysterious and ethereal. Crafted by monks in an ancient Georgian monastery, this amber-hued wine is made from white grapes that were fermented and aged in clay vessels (qvevri) and that underwent extended skin contact, which resulted in a wine with puckering tannins and a richly textural mouthfeel.
There are said to be more than 500 grape varieties grown in the Republic of Georgia--one of the world's oldest wine producing regions--but when it comes to white wine, the most important one to learn about is Rkatsiteli. Made in the authentic Georgian style, in clay fermentation vessels called Qvevri, at the 1,000+-year-old Alaverdi Monastery in the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia, this unusual white is a wine geek's dream. This is indeed a truly cool wine to have and I'm really excited to have it on our shelves. The nose is filled with super cool aromatics of dried white plums and peaches along with exotic baking spices that jump from the glass. Rich and dry on the palate this has a tight power racing through the middle and a really cool tannin structure - just a few of the characteristics that make this wine so unique. Absolutely fantastic with all types of roasted white meats and grilled fish but, can even stand up to hearty red meats without even a bat of the eye. (Eric Story, K&L Georgian Wine Buyer)

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jephthah the Gileadite was one tough warrior. He was the son of a whore, but Gilead was his father. | 1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute. |
2 Meanwhile Gilead's legal wife had given him other sons, and when they grew up, his wife's sons threw Jephthah out. They told him: "You're not getting any of our family inheritance - you're the son of another woman." | 2 Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. "You are not going to get any inheritance in our family," they said, "because you are the son of another woman." |
3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and went to live in the land of Tob. Some riff-raff joined him and went around with him. | 3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where a group of adventurers gathered around him and followed him. |
4 Some time passed. And then the Ammonites started fighting Israel. | 4 Some time later, when the Ammonites made war on Israel, |
5 With the Ammonites at war with them, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. | 5 the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. |
6 They said to Jephthah: "Come. Be our general and we'll fight the Ammonites." | 6 "Come," they said, "be our commander, so we can fight the Ammonites." |
7 But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead: "But you hate me. You kicked me out of my family home. So why are you coming to me now? Because you are in trouble. Right?" | 7 Jephthah said to them, "Didn't you hate me and drive me from my father's house? Why do you come to me now, when you're in trouble?" |
8 The elders of Gilead replied, "That's it exactly. We've come to you to get you to go with us and fight the Ammonites. You'll be the head of all of us, all the Gileadites." | 8 The elders of Gilead said to him, "Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be our head over all who live in Gilead." |
9 Jephthah addressed the elders of Gilead, "So if you bring me back home to fight the Ammonites and God gives them to me, I'll be your head - is that right?" | 9 Jephthah answered, "Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me--will I really be your head?" |
10 They said, "God is witness between us; whatever you say, we'll do." | 10 The elders of Gilead replied, "The LORD is our witness; we will certainly do as you say." |
11 Jephthah went along with the elders of Gilead. The people made him their top man and general. And Jephthah repeated what he had said before God at Mizpah. | 11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them. And he repeated all his words before the LORD in Mizpah. |
12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites with a message: "What's going on here that you have come into my country picking a fight?" | 12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the Ammonite king with the question: "What do you have against us that you have attacked our country?" |
13 The king of the Ammonites told Jephthah's messengers: "Because Israel took my land when they came up out of Egypt - from the Arnon all the way to the Jabbok and to the Jordan. Give it back peaceably and I'll go." | 13 The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah's messengers, "When Israel came up out of Egypt, they took away my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, all the way to the Jordan. Now give it back peaceably." |
14 Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites with the message: | 14 Jephthah sent back messengers to the Ammonite king, |
15 "Jephthah's word: Israel took no Moabite land and no Ammonite land. | 15 saying: "This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites. |
16 When they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the desert as far as the Red Sea, arriving at Kadesh. | 16 But when they came up out of Egypt, Israel went through the desert to the Red Sea and on to Kadesh. |
17 There Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom saying, 'Let us pass through your land, please.' But the king of Edom wouldn't let them. Israel also requested permission from the king of Moab, but he wouldn't let them cross either. They were stopped in their tracks at Kadesh. | 17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Give us permission to go through your country,' but the king of Edom would not listen. They sent also to the king of Moab, and he refused. So Israel stayed at Kadesh. |
18 So they traveled across the desert and circled around the lands of Edom and Moab. They came out east of the land of Moab and set camp on the other side of the Arnon - they didn't set foot in Moabite territory, for Arnon was the Moabite border. | 18 "Next they traveled through the desert, skirted the lands of Edom and Moab, passed along the eastern side of the country of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon. They did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was its border. |
19 Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites at Heshbon the capital. Israel asked, 'Let us pass, please, through your land on the way to our country.' | 19 "Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and said to him, 'Let us pass through your country to our own place.' |
20 But Sihon didn't trust Israel to cut across his land; he got his entire army together, set up camp at Jahaz, and fought Israel. | 20 Sihon, however, did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. He mustered all his men and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel. |
21 But God, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his troops to Israel. Israel defeated them. Israel took all the Amorite land, | 21 "Then the LORD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his men into Israel's hands, and they defeated them. Israel took over all the land of the Amorites who lived in that country, |
22 all Amorite land from Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan. | 22 capturing all of it from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan. |
23 It was God, the God of Israel, who pushed out the Amorites in favor of Israel; so who do you think you are to try to take it over? | 23 "Now since the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven the Amorites out before his people Israel, what right have you to take it over? |
24 Why don't you just be satisfied with what your god Chemosh gives you and we'll settle for what God, our God, gives us? | 24 Will you not take what your god Chemosh gives you? Likewise, whatever the LORD our God has given us, we will possess. |
25 Do you think you're going to come off better than Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Did he get anywhere in opposing Israel? Did he risk war? | 25 Are you better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel or fight with them? |
26 All this time - it's been three hundred years now! - that Israel has lived in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the towns along the Arnon, why didn't you try to snatch them away then? | 26 For three hundred years Israel occupied Heshbon, Aroer, the surrounding settlements and all the towns along the Arnon. Why didn't you retake them during that time? |
27 No, I haven't wronged you. But this is an evil thing that you are doing to me by starting a fight. Today God the Judge will decide between the People of Israel and the people of Ammon." | 27 I have not wronged you, but you are doing me wrong by waging war against me. Let the LORD, the Judge, decide the dispute this day between the Israelites and the Ammonites." |
28 But the king of the Ammonites refused to listen to a word that Jephthah had sent him. | 28 The king of Ammon, however, paid no attention to the message Jephthah sent him. |
29 God's Spirit came upon Jephthah. He went across Gilead and Manasseh, went through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there approached the Ammonites. | 29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites. |
30 Jephthah made a vow before God: "If you give me a clear victory over the Ammonites, | 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: "If you give the Ammonites into my hands, |
31 then I'll give to God whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in one piece from among the Ammonites - I'll offer it up in a sacrificial burnt offering." | 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering." |
32 Then Jephthah was off to fight the Ammonites. And God gave them to him. | 32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. |
33 He beat them soundly, all the way from Aroer to the area around Minnith as far as Abel Keramim - twenty cities! A massacre! Ammonites brought to their knees by the People of Israel. | 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon. |
34 Jephthah came home to Mizpah. His daughter ran from the house to welcome him home - dancing to tambourines! She was his only child. He had no son or daughter except her. | 34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of tambourines! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. |
35 When he realized who it was, he ripped his clothes, saying, "Ah, dearest daughter - I'm dirt. I'm despicable. My heart is torn to shreds. I made a vow to God and I can't take it back!" | 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, "Oh! My daughter! You have made me miserable and wretched, because I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break." |
36 She said, "Dear father, if you made a vow to God, do to me what you vowed; God did his part and saved you from your Ammonite enemies." | 36 "My father," she replied, "you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. |
37 And then she said to her father, "But let this one thing be done for me. Give me two months to wander through the hills and lament my virginity since I will never marry, I and my dear friends." | 37 But grant me this one request," she said. "Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry." |
38 "Oh yes, go," he said. He sent her off for two months. She and her dear girlfriends went among the hills, lamenting that she would never marry. | 38 "You may go," he said. And he let her go for two months. She and the girls went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. |
39 At the end of the two months, she came back to her father. He fulfilled the vow with her that he had made. She had never slept with a man. | 39 After the two months, she returned to her father and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite custom |
40 that for four days every year the young women of Israel went out to mourn for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite. | 40 that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite. |

One way to make sure pasture fertilization programs are worth the money is to manage grass pastures so the grass actually gets eaten instead of wasted, suggests Bruce Anderson, University of Nebraska forage specialist. "If you fertilize pasture in spring and then let animals graze continuously on one pasture throughout the season, much of the extra growth is wasted," Anderson says. "They trample, manure and foul, bed down on, and simply refuse to eat much of the grass. Eventually, less than one-third of the extra grass ends up inside your livestock."
To make fertilizer pay, subdivide pastures with cross fences and control when and where animals graze. Give animals access to no more than one-fourth of the pasture at a time, and preferably less. "Then graze off about one-half of the growth before moving to another subdivision," he says. "If your pastures aren't already subdivided into at least four paddocks, your fertilizer dollar might be better spent on developing more cross fences and watering sites.
"With nitrogen fertilizer costing over 60 cents per pound this spring, though, does it pay to fertilize pasture?" Anderson asks. He cites Nebraska research that shows producers can get 1 lb of additional calf or yearling gain for every pound of nitrogen fertilizer applied. However, this rule-of-thumb assumes that the amount applied is within general recommendations, which are based on the potential amount of extra grass growth expected. That growth is affected mostly by moisture. It also assumes that the pasture will be well-managed so the extra growth will be harvested efficiently.

[Mac OS X] Use AP Grapher to achieve the best possible Wi-Fi signal strength
Posted By Tucker On January 30, 2013 @ 9:22 PM In Mac OS X | No Comments
[1]There's a spot in my house that gets an absolutely abysmal Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately, that spot just happens to be my bedroom. On the one hand, it makes me get up in the morning when I want to check my email. But on the other hand, there are mornings when I'd like to linger in bed and surf the web and check my email. If only I had AP Grapher when we first moved in, we might have laid out the house and our network a little bit differently. Thankfully, we can use this handy Mac OS X program to ensure our computers and Wi-Fi enabled devices are placed where they will have optimum signal strength.
Main Functionality
AP Grapher has been developed in order to help users get the best possible wireless signal strength. Using this handy bit of software, you can find the optimal position for your base station and/or computer to achieve the best possible signal strength.
[2]As the developers describe it, "AP Grapher is a freeware program for Mac OS X that graphs the signal strength as a function of time for the base station you are currently connected to. Although the program has a 'stumbler' like mode, it's not a true a stumbler in the classic sense since it only finds visible networks."
There are two main windows that launch when you open the application. The grapher window shows signal strength for the wireless access point you are currently using. The scanner window searches for nearby access points, and displays the best ones in a friendly green color. It should be noted that setting the scanner refresh rate too high can slow down the speed with which you can browse the web.
There are some other known issues, most notably an issue where the scanner dips to zero, skewing your results. The cause for this erroneous reading seems to be linked to the type of wireless card your computer has installed. The developers say that the issue only affects MacBook Pro computers. It's an easy fix, however: just select a slower refresh rate.
While there is a robust array of features at work here, AP Grapher is a little overwhelming. It's not the most user-friendly interface, but the data it collects is very helpful. Some users may simply not know what to do with the data once they have collected it, however.
For freeware, AP Grapher has a lot going for itself. I recommend that you give it a spin. Despite a few minor issues, this is a solid application.

(Goin' Backhand is a new segment at Backhand Shelf where I profile NHL Alumni)
You ought to save the best for last — or so the old adage goes. It's only after the hardships that you fully grasp an appreciation of how fleeting a moment of greatness can be.
The lesson applies across all phases of life for all people, regardless of how you phrase the platitude; struggle yields satisfaction. Skip the trial and you lose perspective of how difficult or big those accomplishments were. You don't want to run out your days feeling as though you've left something in the proverbial room.
While this may be true for the most part, some people have a knack for getting it right the first time. For Don Beaupre, in 17 NHL seasons and now 14 years as an businessman, he got it right off the hop. Twice. And there shouldn't be any doubt over whether or not he has left anything in that room.
At 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds the Waterloo, Ont., native was a quintessential goalie of the 1980s. Smaller in frame, he was forced to play a what we, in retrospect, call the stand-up style — attacking shooters. He reacted to the offence. He wasn't a puck stopper — he made saves happen.
Beaupre capitalized on a chance to shine right away in major junior with the Sudbury Wolves of the then-OHA. Despite originally wanting to go to the Oshawa Generals after being recruited by the team, he settled down nicely in The Nickel City. Beaupre was a star for the Wolves over two seasons, and an OHA first team all-star in 1980.
At 18 years old his career had progressed as smoothly as any kid dreams and the next logical step was the National Hockey League. The Minnesota North Stars took him in the second round — 37th overall — of the 1980 NHL Entry Draft.
He was the first goaltender selected.
Four months to the day of his name being called, Beaupre was in uniform after breaking camp with the North Stars at 19 years old. That night, they beat the Hartford Whalers by a 9-3 score. He was a pro hockey player from day one.
"Before I went to training camp my parents had a going away party for me. Later I had some friends tell me they thought it was weird because I wasn't supposed to make the team," Beaupre said. "That was just part of being naive. You get older and progress and the net doesn't get any bigger and it becomes the next step. You just adjust and it went well."
It went very well. During his rookie season, Beaupre made an appearance in the 1981 NHL All-Star game and helped lead the North Stars to one of the most successful seasons in franchise history. They went on to an appearance in the Stanley Cup final, before ultimately losing to the Islanders juggernaut of the decade. The run as a 19 year old was his only Stanley Cup final appearance.
While Beaupre continued to play well for the North Stars over the next seven seasons, the team's results began to fluctuate. Division champions fizzled in the playoffs and ultimately began missing the playoffs altogether. Changes were coming.
On November 1, 1988, Minnesota's made their second of seven trades in a two month span, shipping Beaupre to the Washington Capitals. Being traded for the first time in his career didn't sit well at the time, "Like everyone I'm sure I didn't think I was the reason for the team struggling."
Beaupre buckled down in Washington after a stint with the Baltimore Skipjacks. It took a couple of months, but a 7-2 win over Glenn Healy and the Los Angeles Kings was the start of a new era for the Caps and Beaupre in goal.
"It worked out for the best," Beaupre said. "I ended up playing five solid years for the Caps, I think."
The Capitals reached the playoffs each season Beaupre was their starting netminder, including a conference finals appearance during the 1989-90 season. He made a second appearance in the All-Star Game in 1992, and patrolled the Capitals' crease until the end of the 1994-95 lockout when he was moved to the young Ottawa Senators to make room for up-and-comers Jim Carey and Olaf Kolzig.
Despite being traded out of Washington, Beaupre considers himself a Washington Capital, "I really feel like a part of that organization. My heart is with Washington."
Beaupre played out the final four years of his career in Ontario. He set many early records for the new Senators franchise and is the owner of the first shutout in modern franchise history — a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
In 1996, he landed in Toronto as part of a three way deal with the Islanders which also sent Kirk Muller to the Maple Leafs. After 15 seasons, it was a chance to experience his youth from the other side of the television.
"I grew up in that. When I was growing up the Leafs weren't winning very much but you still knew everyone on the team," Beaupre said. "It was really astounding to do the full circle and come back there and experience what I did as a little kid."
In a career filled with ups and downs, Beaupre's rookie year stands above all else in his memory. It may have taken those other 16 seasons to cement how special a Stanley Cup appearance is, but his approach never changed regardless of date on the calendar or jersey on his back. The net never got bigger and he adjusted each night.
"I went out there and gave an honest effort. I went out there and I didn't leave anything in the room emotionally or physically."
Beaupre carried that same drive with him as he transitioned out of hockey and into the business world. Once again, the next step — the first one — was the right one. He made his foray into the equipment rental business in 1998 and five years later he founded Beaupre Aerial Equipment. While far from the typical NHL to proletariat adjustment, the move has gone well.
"My best friend growing up in Waterloo was in the equipment rental business and I found an opportunity to get involved so I did," Beaupre said. "It's been good. It has evolved with a couple of companies. This one we've grown quite a bit."
With Beaupre Aerial Equipment based out of Minneapolis, Beaupre is a Wild season ticket holder and an active member of the Minnesota NHL Alumni Association. The group has unified NHL alumni across Minnesota who have played for the North Stars, Wild and other NHL franchises and are active in community initiatives both on and off the ice.
While Beaupre takes pride in his hockey career, he is solely focused on family and his company now as his time on the ice has passed.
"For me hockey's just something I did. Now, I'm in the rental business and what's important is who I am in the community and what I do in the community; giving back as far as my family or coaching or charity work and who I am to my employees and my customers."
Hockey was a useful foot in the door for Beaupre, now 51. The arena has changed, though the goal remains the same.
"I tried to have a good reputation in hockey and I try to do that now in business," Beaupre said. "If they (fans) respected me in my hockey career, I hope I can earn their respect in my business career."
After 17 years in the NHL and 14 years on the other side of hockey, the net hasn't gotten any bigger for Don Beaupre. The first step into business was the right one. In those 14 years he has gotten older and progressed and adjusted and each day it's on to the next step.
It's going well.

Why is it so Difficult for Journalists to Simply Tell the Story?
Apropos to this post of mine, I found this article at The American Spectator interesting:
The Al Gore police report is disturbing.
To be specific, it's 67 pages of the quite graphically disturbing, as posted here by Red State.
You are reading the news of this police report — originally filed in October of 2006 — only because the National Enquirer scooped the story. In June of 2010. You did not read it in the Portland Tribune, which has been on this story since 2007 and failed to tell its readers until the Enquirer broke the story. The Tribune's explanation for this is to be found here.
The question here is why didn't the Portland Tribune publish what they had? Well, says the paper, all they had was an unverified police report. What is missed here is that a police report on a former Vice President of the United States — a man who has emerged even in political defeat as one of the most listened to voices on the planet on environmental issues and global warming — existed. The report itself existed. It was fact. And hence news.
There are two more examples of the same sort of journalistic malfeasance at the link all aiming toward the same point. Journalists in the main are not practicing journalism but protecting the Establishment (be it a local political establishment or a particular political ideology). The Gore sexual abuse story is a great example. As Mr. Lord points out, the mere existence of a police report is news and should have been reported as news by the local paper. It wasn't. We only know about the story now because of the National Enquirer's coverage (and who knew that the Enquirer would be a shining example of journalistic integrity than most other mainstream newspapers?). So why did the Portland Tribune kill the story?
I don't know the answer to that, but I certainly don't buy the editor's explanation. If I ran a newspaper and my people spent a year digging into a story, I'd sure as heck run something. The existence of a police report is news. The odd behavior at the time by the complainant is also news. The story she told, combined with the Gore camps flat denial is also news. It did not require a complicated weighing of values versus professional duty to reach a decision. Tell the story. That, and nothing more, is the job of a journalist.
Why is that so difficult?

Gene Smith, Arizona State University's athletic director since July 2000, has emerged as the leading candidate to become the new AD at Ohio State, according to a story in today's Columbus Dispatch.
The Dispatch reported on its Web site Thursday afternoon that sources point to the 49-year-old Smith as the Buckeyes' No. 1 choice, and he could be announced as the replacement for outgoing AD Andy Geiger as soon as today.
If that's the case, he could be introduced Sunday when the Buckeye men's basketball team faces undefeated and top-ranked Illinois at Value City Arena in Columbus.
Smith would remain in Arizona until Saturday night, sources told the Dispatch, so he can attend the ASUArizona basketball game — which tips off at 4 p.m.
Smith declined to speak with the Tribune on Thursday but released a statement through an ASU spokesman indicating he knows nothing about the report and denying any personal contact with the Buckeyes.
"I have not interviewed for (the job) and I have not spoken to (Ohio State),'' Smith said. "My name comes up in these searches from time to time.''
But the Dispatch reports that Smith, who has strong ties to Ohio and the Midwest — he is a native of Cleveland, a graduate of Notre Dame and former athletic director at Iowa State — has been identified as the top choice to replace the embattled Geiger, who will retire on June 30 with a year left on his contract.
Craig Littlepage of Virginia, Joe Castiglione of Oklahoma, Eric Hyman of Texas Christian and Kevin White of Notre Dame — the man Smith replaced as ASU's athletic director — have all been mentioned as candidates since Geiger announced on Jan. 5 that he would be resigning.
Geiger, 65, was riding high when the Buckeye football team won the national championship with an overtime victory over Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. But the last two years have been filled with NCAA investigations involving the football and men's basketball programs, accelerating his decision to resign.
If Smith leaves, money won't be the issue. While Geiger is making $284,340 for the 2004-05 school year, Smith earns a base salary of $290,000 at ASU and, according to Tribune calculations, earned $365,000 in salary and bonuses in 2002-03.
Smith's original five-year contract has been extended through 2008.
Smith inherited a budget deficit approaching $4 million from White in 2000 and has all but wiped out the red ink during his tenure. In 2003, Sports Illustrated ranked Smith as the seventh-most influential minority in college athletics.
Taking the Ohio State job would be a step up in profile. The Buckeye athletic department has a $90 million budget and fields teams in 36 sports — almost three times the $35 million budget of ASU, which fields 22 sports teams.

Version and / or Patch Used: 1.3
Timedemo or Level Used: Ubisoft Volcano
Developer Homepage: http://www.crytek.com
Product Homepage: http://www.farcrygame.com
There is no denying that Far Cry is currently one of the most graphic intensive games on the market, utilizing PS2.0 technology (the latest versions support Shader Model 3.0 with DX9c) and offering an exceptional visual experience there is no denying that even some of the faster graphics cards struggle.
Far Cry (like with the new nVidia drivers) see a good performance increase but as we move down in the cards the performance increase is less noticeable. The biggest gains can be seen with the X850XT and the X700 PRO at the lower resolution.

The Journey
Anna D. Rinehart a licensed skin care specialist began her journey into her present role in teaching Medical-Facial Aesthetics to doctors ,nurses and aestheticians since 1987. She envisioned a Skin Care Practice that did not promote sell-sell concept but rather provided both non-invasive facial aesthetic services and clinical skin care management that is generally integrated within a Medical Aesthetics Skin Health and Wellness Program. She envisioned an aestheticians role becoming integrated within the health care system. While not absolutely clear of the path of how to get the aesthetician to become a respected and validated role, it was crystal clear her Vision would become a reality in her time. The concept of a nurse-aesthetician, medical aesthetician or clinical nurse-aesthetician was just not taken well by the standardized nursing practice. The nurses felt that Medical Aesthetics was not a valid term that was accepted by the medical train therefore, it had no value. Dermatologists ( not all ) believed that all aestheticians performed feckless facials and overalldid not have anything to contribute to health care system. The negative perceptions from doctors began to change when aestheticians started learning more business concepts and procedural skills . The aesthetician began gaining a clincial value to the physicians practice which wanted to offer the non-invasive facial aesthetic services but did not have the time to do it their self nor had a nurse that was trained. Aestheticians wanted to be elevated , respected, valued, appreciated and become connected with job opportunity as well as gain personal and professional growth. As long as the aesthetician stayed within the aesthetic circles.... professional growth was not going to be a part of the equation. Some Cosmetologists Schools/Instructors and per se leaders of the Aesthetic Industry Platforms understood the pains of growth but needed to retain control by diminshing the aesthetician role since they were not true " Cosmetologists". The platforms for aestheticians began with a great Visionary Ron Renee. He created Aestheticians International Association. It became a platform for old ideas rather than real legends of vision. He foretold a story that still is unfolding itelf today. In every level of professional groups ( physicians, nurses, cosmetologists) none thought the aesthetician had much value. An aesthetician has had to pull together skills, treatments, procedures and protocols from learning various integrated methods from literally self research, apprenticeships and attending medical and facial aesthetic conference meetings. Anna D. Rinehart having been a practicing nurse recognized the under value of nurse ( LPN/RN ). Having obtained her aesthetics license she was able to open her own business and experienced tremendous personal growth as well as financial security. Through these combined expereinces and educational twists of fate both in education and experience she has witnessed a greater interest from literally every medical speciality background attending her Medical Aesthetics Conferences.
Dermatology Skin Care Specialist Harker Heights Medical Aesthetics FACE Skin Care Associates 800 West Central Texas Expressway Suite 200, Medical Pavilion on campus of Seton Hospital.
The Skin Care Specialist is a dually graduate of a nursing program ( LPN/RN ), Facial Aesthetics program ( Aesthetician ) , graduate of a Facial Aesthetics Instructor program ( Instructor ), Licensed CEU Provider , CIDESCO Diplomate, and Ambssador of the Aestheticians International Association.
The journey from a licensed nurse, aesthetician, facial aesthetics instructor, Cidesco Diplomat , business owner, product developer, contributing editor, teaching Medical Aesthetics programs in both a Hospital base and College CEU, CEO Acaraya® Skin Care Consulting Firm has become an integrated role has become synomous with one name... The Skin Care Specialist . She has literally created a path by which all nurses, aestheticians and physicians will have an easier road because of the road she has had to travel. Doctors today can argrue what is Medical Aesthetics? Nurses want to become involved in Medical Aesthetics. Aestheticians want to become Medical Aestheticians because someone went before them and broke the silence. Medical Aesthetics has a strong foundation and infrastruture that all physicians, nurses and clinical aestheticians can build a mutidisciplinary approach to deliver competive, safe and therapeutic skin care management "Facial Aesthetics" that has a positive influence on society as a whole.
Master Aestheticians can now recieve more specialized comprehensive skin care continuing education from Anna D. Rinehart in Killeen, Texas 1-888-769-3223.

CHICKASHA – With a stunning 7-1 run to open the season, the Drover men's basketball team finds itself nationally ranked for the first time in years. The Drovers jumped from unranked in the preseason to their current spot at 14 in the latest NAIA poll, which was released Tuesday evening. It is the first time the program has appeared on the rankings since finishing the 2002-03 season at No. 16. USAO, which faced tough NCAA Division II competition so far this season, have only lost one game — an overtime loss to now-No. 11 Texas Wesleyan.
CHICKASHA – After a fourth NAIA Men's Soccer National Tournament run, three Drovers were named to the elite NAIA All-America list — including a first ever First Team recipient for Drover soccer. Scott Parkinson, a junior defender, was named USAO's first men's soccer All-America First Team, which goes to just 11 players in the country.
Regents Room, Student Center
Choir Room, Davis Hall 124 - Blake Morgan will demo on Monday, December 3.
CHICKASHA – The Drovers continue their home success on Saturday afternoon, defeating Northwood University 77-64. The Drovers (7-1) have not lost yet at home. Their only loss was in overtime against No. 17 Texas Wesleyan. On Saturday, the Drovers scored within the first minute and held the lead — which got up to 28 points in the second half — for the remainder of the game. Brandon Cutler recorded his third double double of the season with 22 points and 16 rebounds. He shot 50 percent from the field on Saturday.
CHICKASHA – The USAO women had little problem fighting the Northwood Knights on Saturday afternoon in their last home game of 2012, leading nearly the entire game before winning it 72-60. The Drovers (7-2) dominated the game, giving up the lead just once in the first two minutes, but quickly recovering and leading for the remainder of the game. Rocio Medrano led the team in points, earning 22 in just 16 minutes after hitting seven of 11 shots from the field and eight of her nine free throw attempts.

His dog manners are excellent and he has a very even, calm temperament. He loves human attention as well and would be a great dog to play ball with at the dog park, hike, or take on trips. He's a best friend kind of guy. We'd love to introduce you to him. He's in Huntsville, AL. If you would like to meet him, send an email to email@example.com.
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Homewood
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Midnight, a Homewood Border Collie/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever for sale in Homewood, or seeking a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Homewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homewood 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 Homewood 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 Border Collie/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Border Collie/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homewood paves the way for another one to be saved.
