I will be collecting water from 2 or 3 downspouts and sending it around the house to the street. I have enough slope but not sure what size drain pipe to use. I plan to use 3" corrugated pipe but would 4 inch be better? How do I figure how much each pipe can handle. My roof is about 1500 sq ft and this will be draining about half of the roof.
Thanks |

If you are just using the pipe as a conduit, then why use corrugated pipe? Use straight wall PVC and glue your joints. Corrugated pipe is flexible and permits bending but will retain water in the corrugations. calculate the crossectional area of the downspout and use roughly the same crossection of pipe and should be OK |

If I have 2 - 3 inch drain pipes going into one pipe what size should that pipe be? |
- Posted by lazypup (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Oct 26, 06 at 12:25
When comparing the volume of dissimilar pipe sizes we cannot compare diameter but rather we must use a formula that compares cross sectional area. The formula is ... LARGE DIAMETER SQUARED divided by SMALL DIAMETER SQUARED. Example... Let us compare a 4" pipe to a 3" pipe (4 x 4) / (3 x 3)= 16 / 9 = 1.77 This means a 4" pipe has the equivalent volume of 1.77 pipes that are 3". We must also remember that the velocity of flow in a vertical pipe (down spout) is much greater than the velocity of flow in a horizontal pipe (horizontal storm drain). The actual volume of a horizontal storm drain would be effected by such factors as the length of run, the pitch of the pipe and the "friction head factor" of the pipe material selected. A basic rule of thumb is that a 4" horizontal drain line with a minimum of 1/4" per foot pitch can handle the same volume as a 3" downspout thus combining two 4" pipes into one pipe would require a 6" pipe. (6x6)/(4x4) = 36/16 = 2.25 Thus a 6" pipe has the equivalent capacity of two 4" pipes or two 3" downspouts. MATERIAL CHOICES: CORRUGATED POLY PIPE: the advantages of corrugated poly pipe are: PVC "SDR PIPE" If you look in your hardware or home supply center you will find a thinwall PVC pipe which is labelled on the pipe as SDR 20, SDR 30 or SDR35. SDR indicates the pipe is made to the "Size Dimension Ratio" standard. Under the SDR standard the actual thickness of the pipe wall is determined by dividing the pipe diameter by the index number thus a 4" SDR-20 pipe would have a wall thickness of 4"/20= 0.2". SDR pipe may not be used for DWV (Drain, waste & vent) applications but it is approved for storm drainage. SDR pipe may be white like sched 40PVC or it may also be light green or light blue in color and usually it will have a preformed end bell on one end of the length to permit joining. It may be glued but glueing is not required for storm drains. SDR pipe has an advantage on long runs because it has a much lower "friction head factor" than corrugated roll pipe. SCHEDULE 40 PVC: Schedule 40 PVC is code approved and it would be perfectly suitable although it would generally be considered overkill and it would be the most expensive. |
Lazypup -- what's the carrying capacity of these pipes? If I did my math correctly, rainfall of an inch/hour means about 1 gallon/minute of water for each 100 sq. ft. of roof. So for 750 sq. ft. of roof, even a heavy rain (2"/hour) means about 15gpm of drainage. That adds up, but is 3" PVC sufficient to carry that much water? |
Couple of notes from experience of having many water issues at my house. I live on clay soils over ledge so water runs everywhere as it cannot leach into the ground. my crawl space would flood every rain, but not any more! Use 4" or 6" main to the street. If you plan to run over it with equipment, cars, etc, use sch 40, otherwise, use sch20 sewer pipe as mentioned above. |

how can we determine the sizes of drain pipes when we connect multiple drain lenes? (ex: connecting drain lines of air conditioning VRV unit's condensate drain in a multi storied building) |
"how can we determine the sizes of drain pipes when we connect multiple drain lenes? (ex: connecting drain lines of air conditioning VRV unit's condensate drain in a multi storied building)" The problem is usually trying to calculate the volume of condensate. Each condensate pump has a small holding tank to accumulate enough condensate the pump can run for a few minutes the volume is so low. Most of the time it is just a few ounces per hour. |

Wednesday, 09 September 2009 00:00
After 27 years of service to national and international tourism and with an investment estimated at fourteen billion pesos, the traditional Hotel Cosmos 100 becomes a hotel chain, thus strengthening its leadership in the hotel sector.
The new chain arises from the continuous growth of Colombia's hotel sector, the transformation of its brand to the eyes of its clients, and the result of the evolution of the service provided by Cosmos 100 during three consecutive decades.
Hotel Cosmos 100 has been a direct participant of the progress of the sector in Colombia, and on many occasions, one its representatives and leaders, while coping with times of national economic crisis and managing actions related to market categorization and to various kinds of negotiations with regulatory entities and current governments.
The Cosmos Hoteles Chain Has 100% Colombian Human Capital.
The Cosmos Hoteles chain has a 100% Colombian human capital that is trained through academic programs designed and executed internally on the basis of experience and the acknowledgement of the needs of its guests and clients.
Year after year, through the SENA (Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - the National Learning Service), the Hotel Cosmos 100 graduates as technicians in Hotel Trade and Tourism those employees who have obtained, albeit empirically, vast experience and important achievements in their work. Thus, service is rendered by highly qualified personnel.
Before December 2009, Cosmos Hoteles will present and open the doors of Cité Hotel, located on the northeastern corner of Bogota's El Virrey Park, on Calle 88 and Carrera, and offering the highest standards of quality and service.
The Cosmos Hoteles hotel chain will offer locals and foreigners good service backed by the experience and financial discipline that have maintained it as an icon of the country's hotel sector.

Miyazu Amanohashidate
tourist guide
Sightseeing information
Illustrated map
Amanohashidate, sometimes called "The Bridge to Heaven" is a 3.6 kilometer sand bridge formed over thousands of years and is now a beloved landmark in northern Kyoto prefecture on the coast of the Sea of Japan. It's been crowned one of the three most beautiful spots in Japan. To behold the natural beauty best, we recommend you rise to a peak on either side by lift or cable car. Traveling across the nature park's land bridge is a journey you will not forget with the carefully attended to pine forest and fine sand beaches. If you'd prefer a sea-side view, there are ferries and charter boats to show you the sights from the ocean.
Nature is the premier attraction but there is also deep culture and rich history to experience. There are several temples, shrines, and even natural hot springs adjacent to Amanohashidate and mountain top viewing areas.
Amanohashidate is also a place to have a good time! In the summer the beaches are great for swimming, beach sports, and family outings. There are various festivals held all year round, including the re-enactment of the folklore surrounding the creation of the mysterious sand bar in the summer dragon dance festival and a fireworks festival in the winter.

Since last Martin Luther King, Jr. Day when we sponsored a community-wide forum on "Weighing the Scales of Justice" in Berrien County, our forum was recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) as we were named the 2004 Bennett Award winners. We used our prize money of $500 to support a new voter registration and Get Out The Vote initiative in Benton Harbor, MI, a 96% African-American community.
We recruited a community Task Force and together created the Voters Involved in America (VIA) organization for the purpose of increasing the voter participation in a community that had only 37% voter turn-out in 2000 and historically abysmal turnouts in local elections. Along with the $500 from the Bennett award, we applied and received a grant from the UUA's Social Responsibility Fund in the amount of $2000. We did further fund-raising, signed a joint-effort agreement with the national ACORN program, Project Vote, and went to work.
From this effort, we "guesstimate" that we registered over 1600 new voters. In addition, we were able to distribute an educational brochure, produce and hang over one-hundred 4' x 2' red, white and blue signs on utility poles throughout the city of Benton Harbor, and support and staff a phone bank which became active the weekend before the election and throughout the day on November 2nd.
This was an incredible learning experience for us and the community, and has laid the foundation for continued involvement of the Fellowship in Benton Harbor, as well as an increase in citizen involvement in the revitalization of the city. This MLK Day, VIA is developing a program to build on the newly registered voter base by continuing voter education efforts, increase voter turnout at local elections, and let Benton Harbor announce to the county, state and country: "We are a Voting Community!" We at Community Outreach & Social Action (CO/SA) are very proud to be part of a religious community that supports and works for a democracy that encourages total citizen involvement.

The young Wall Street Republicans filling an East 60th Street tavern were sipping grapefruit-vodka cocktails under flag-colored balloons when Fox News delivered election results that quieted them. "Look," Matthew Swift said to A. Beaumont Allen, pointing up at a screen as Fox called Ohio for President Barack Obama. The two 26-year-olds paused as the TV flashed Obama's re- election around 11:20 p.m. on Nov. 6. "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out," the Smiths ballad with lyrics about a car crash, came on the stereo. A woman implored the crowd to drink. Concord 51, a political-action committee of young professionals, threw the party for guests who work in private equity, consulting, law, hedge funds and corporate strategy…Blake Saunders, a 26-year-old investment banker at Methuselah Advisors LP, stood near the bar. "When you push off all these different things that are always brought to the forefront in a primary election," he said, "like social issues like gay marriage and abortion, if you get to the core of most young people, from 20 to 40 years old, their ultimate thing is they want to wake up the next morning and smile at their children and say, 'I'm providing for my family.'" [Bloomberg]

Something tells me Saunders, 26, is not waking up the next morning, smiling at his children and saying "I'm providing for my family."
By children/family he meant "chick I met at Dorian's last night." Same diff/no diff.
So wise, like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
Or his frat bros who were in NYC for the night. They count too.
So I can't also be happy I'm providing for a society where kids aren't punished for being born to those well outside Concord 51's tax bracket?
can you imagine what would happen to the world if that bar exploded that night? All of those investment bankers and consultants and private equity guys all in one place? The impact on humanity would be immeasurable.
UBS was like my family
if you write "market boom" on a piece of paper, but fold it the wrong way, u may end up with a bomb, rather than a market rally.
Go on…
My ultimate thing is waking up the next morning.
The other Methuselah
After Romney's defeat, Concord 51 leaders shared a conciliatory moment with one of the Tavern waiters – an Obama supporter:
'…this is Blake Saunders, and I'm A. Beaumont Allen..nice to…meet you…'
to which the waiter beemed:
'..Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn!' -
Congrats to this for not acknowledging that first you have to be able to wake up and be allowed to have the family you want. Maybe if the GOP stopped being such gaping twats, maybe independants like myself would give them the time of day. Until then, take a lap….for the next four years.
I can't believe I dodged that bullet! Feels like the last few years were just a bad dream, and I finally woke up. Excuse me, I have to run, there's a G6 waiting for me.
If you push off all the genocide, Hitler was a great guy.
Pretty sure the DB editor who put this up is fully aware of how ludicrous the quote is (as evidenced in the headline), though the dude who said it does not.

Quinoa is a food I rarely crave. It is innocuous—edible even, but boring. It is the Kristen Stewart of pseudocerals. Dress it up, however, and it can be a nice 'go to.' "Mango Blueberry Quinoa Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing" by Sala is one such dish. Sala's take on quinoa is colorful, flavorful, and in no way related to the actors in the Twilight movies.

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 Kylie!
Facts about Kylie
- Breed: Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Kylie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Ms. Kylie. She is a 1 and 1/2 year old doxie/terrier mix. She is tri-color, weighs around 16 pounds and has a wonderful disposition. She will start to dance around and bark and once she has your attention, she is as happy as she can be. She loves people, especially children and gets along with other dogs. She came from a rural shelter and has been totally vetted including microchip. Kylie is longing for her forever home.
Other Pets at Our Gang Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kylie, a Cincinnati Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati 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 Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Dachshund/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Not feeling well? Call us while you still can." - Don Wright
Caskets and cremation urns were once a common offering from your local cabinetmaker.
These days the options in most funeral homes are less than attractive and suffer from a morbid lack of style.
Why not design your own?
Our caskets and cremation boxes are available in different woods, sizes and configurations. The handles seen on the following images are just one option - we can use metal handles or no handles at all. Hand carved images, monograms.
As to interior fabric, we'll work on a case-by-case basis. Please call us for further information.

 Everyone needs to realize that it is just dancing. Dont hate cuz you canât move your derriere like that... It is ludicrous that they tried to take their diploma away for freedom of expression
How is this any different than the hit show (which I detest) So You Think You Know How To Dance?
Mommy and daddy must be SO proud of their little hoes!  If you're old enough to twerk you're old enough to have your face's shown to the public and not blurred.  Twerking  is not something a child or juvenile would do.Â
As far as high school is concerned, a diploma has been useless now for several decades. Unblur their faces and let the public ridicule them for what they are. Perhaps they can find a job in the oldest profession on earth.Â
Kids have been expressing themselves through shocking dance since before the 1920s. Â Parents have been SHOCKED. Â It is dancing, goofing, having fun. Â Leave them alone.
Who's the "man" standing there shaking his hands around while these horribly brainwashed young women demean themselves in front of him? Â
Filth and more filth. The penalties should have been even more severe, including an extended visit to a de-programming facility for the foolish females and several years on a chain-gang for the arrogant male.
Why wouldn't they be allowed to graduate? The medieval academics at it again? Drunk with their fantasy of power over other people? Â
@HallandOates It's once again because they're females. We blur the faces and hold back the names of the female gender. However ... when a boy is merely accused the media has NO problem plastering his mug and name alllllllll over the place.Â
@USA Gent This ultimately will be seen as the tempest in a teapot that it is. Remember the outrage with Elvis' dancing, the Beatles' hairstyles? In 15 - 20 years these kids will will have the same cringe moments looking back as I do whenever I come across a photo of myself and what I wore in the 70's...
@USA Gent I like the "filth" so chill it down a little and enjoy the show! We need more of this.

On Monday, Abe, the current president of the Liberal Democratic Party, denied any links to gangsters despite his appearance in a photo from June 2008 that shows the politician being flanked on both sides by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Icchu Nagamoto, a financial broker for the Yamaguchi-gumi, who was arrested earlier this year for violating money-lending laws.
"As to close connections, there are none," Abe said, referring to organized crime.
Huckabee, who had dropped his candidacy in the U.S. Republican presidential primary elections three months earlier, was in Japan on a one-week tour. On his Web site, he indicated that he visited Tohoku University and met with the Governor of Hokkaido.
The Shukan Post article says that the photo was taken inside Abe's office within the Members' Office Buildings of the National Diet around the time when Huckabee arrived in the country. The photo is now hanging inside a frame on the wall of a room in an unidentified residence in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.
Abe, the native of Yamaguchi Prefecture whose administration extended for 12 months between 2006 and 2007, said that the only time he met Nagamoto was on that day. "I have had no contact (with the financial broker) since the time the photograph was taken," said the former prime minister.
Nagamoto, who is of Korean descent and also goes by the name Son Il-ju, was arrested in March of this year after returning to Tokyo's Haneda Airport from Korea. He was accused of assisting in a fabricated capital increase scheme for mid-level construction firm Inoue Kogyo, located in Gunma Prefecture.
"He's in the loan-sharking business," a business associate tells the tabloid. "If you want to make profit from business dealings with shady figures, you demand a high rate of interest with real estate as collateral."The source goes on to say that Nagamoto (known as "the Blackmarket King") has been making a killing through new stock listings and fabricated capital increases. "He can come up with a one billion-yen loan in no time flat," the associate says.
News reports released after Nagamoto's arrest indicate that police investigators consider his consulting company, called Shinsho, also located in Setagaya, to be directly connected to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
The tabloid says that the financial broker also has connections in the sports and entertainment worlds. The tabloid cites a source saying that Nagamoto in September 2009 attended a lavish birthday party for Mongolian-born former sumo yokozuna Asashoryu in Tokyo's Daikanyama area.
Abe's office responded to an inquiry from Shukan Post regarding the photo by saying that Abe met with Huckabee following a request made by a local supporter. "The Huckabee party who visited this office consisted of more than one person," wrote a representative of Abe, "The person (Nagamoto) is not an acquaintance, and there is no recollection of having met him."

A 'Bottom-up' Milestone towards a Safer America
Our friend and Seattle's dynamic tech leader, Bill Schrier, recently issued a Request for Information to cull out innovative public/private partnerships to deliver a mobile broadband and mission-critical voice capability for the metropolitan area – an idea surfaced during our technology roundtable earlier this year in LA in support of President Obama's National Wireless Initiative to build a nationwide interoperable wireless broadband network for America's first responders.
More heartening is the spirit of voluntary collaboration as the RFI was released with the support of at least 10 other state and local governments, including several actively engaged in the build-out of wireless public safety infrastructure. In the spirit of "bottom-up" change, that group includes state governments (Oregon, Iowa, and Arizona), cities (Honolulu, HI; Chesapeake, VA; Boston, MA; Charlotte, NC; Pembroke Pines, FL) and regions (San Francisco BayRICS; Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties, WI).
The public safety leaders from these states and localities share the common goal of identifying technology, business models, operational structures, and other key attributes of a public safety network that will depend in large measure on the expertise, services and infrastructure of commercial carriers and other private vendors. By joining together to identify and pursue their shared interests and opportunities, public safety agencies from across the country can proceed in unison to develop a truly seamless nationwide network, a stark contrast to the state-by-state approach that has led to a patchwork of non-interoperable communications networks in the past. Joining together instead of each city and state building its own unique network will also be far more cost effective. A recent trial of a new commercial architecture for the radio access network indicates that the costs of building and maintaining base stations can be slashed dramatically, with operating expenses and capital expenses reduced by 50% and 30% respectively.
On a parallel course, NIST's Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology (VCAT) is seeking comment on a draft report – "Desirable Properties of a National Public Safety Network" – recently issued by its subcommittee on public safety networks, under the leadership of VCAT Chair Vint Cerf. Like the Seattle RFI, the VCAT draft report seeks to identify the key attributes of a nationwide public safety network. When Congress enacts legislation leading to the establishment of a suitable governance model for the nationwide network, that governing body will be able to hit the ground running based on the findings of these inquiries when it comes to critical areas like resiliency, redundancy, and network sharing. And with the associated R&D investments, the public safety community will have the resources needed to test, validate and scale innovative approaches to ensure they can keep our families safe through meeting these requirements.
We are close. In June, under the leadership of Chairman Rockefeller and Ranking Member Hutchison, the Senate Commerce Committee passed S. 911, demonstrating strong bipartisan support. In September, the President reiterated his commitment through the American Jobs Act, mirroring the relevant provisions of S. 911. Now leaders in the House are working to craft spectrum legislation that likewise would provide the public safety community with the needed resourcesto get the job done.
We are hopeful. The deployment of a seamless nationwide public safety network, built in collaboration with commercial broadband providers, will be a first-of-its kind endeavor. Now is the time for Congress to get the ball across the goal line so that the President can sign comprehensive spectrum legislation and deliver to our first responders – and our families – all of the public safety benefits of a 21st-century digital infrastructure.

I know some folks have wild onions that they can eat where they live, but can you eat these in MD? Does anyone know? Thanks, :)Arum |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are so many onions out there, its very difficult to determine the type you speak of. Even though there are many onion types as well as some wild ones, my guess is that its a walking onion of some type. These can grow wild and will self plant the tops to make more. A typical area with just 20 of these planted, if gone unchecked for maybe 4 years, can fill the space with more than 50 times the original amount. Can you be more specific as to their color, habit, size, and growth/reproduction method. |
To the best of my knowledge, none are poisonous. The problem is the flavor. Euell Gibbons was strong on eating all wild onions but the kind we get here have foliage like grass and a very strong smell. Maybe it's an acquired taste? |
All native wild onions in North America are edible. Some are just a bit on the strong side. OK for flavoring something to be cooked but I wouldn't want to attempt eating many as scallions. The strongest that I have is the nodding onion, A. cernuum, and the leaves are rather tasty for the first several weeks of spring or as seedlings. After that, they are a bit strong for eating raw. If you've got onions which are topsetters, they aren't wild but rather feral. As far as I know, there are no native topsetter multipliers. The only native topsetters are garlics, not onions. Martin |
oldroser, you describe them well! Tha's just what their like. I think you can eat em, but they are strong. :) arum |

Paquebot, how can a plant be feral? |
Feral would be non-native in this case. The use of feral is generally associated with domestic non-native animals which have reverted to a wild state. The most common that one hears about are cats, dogs, and pigs. Cats and pigs are non-native to North America but often establishing wild colonies. In all cases, their breeding will find them reverting to a wild type. Feral cat colonies usually revert to striped tabbies. Dog colonies revert to a yellow cur similar to the Australian dingo. Pigs revert to a long hairy beast. I'm not certain if there is a good word to describe non-native plant varieties which have escaped from cultivation and become nuisances. Dandelions, kudzu, quack grass, multiflora rose, and a lot of others may have a lot of names of which perhaps only half would be allowed here! Some references would use the word "naturalized". Pollination within the colony of some plant species remove certain domestic traits and they eventually may revert to something close to their original wild ancestors. That's why a lot of the wild garlic leeks of the south are more like their original forms which still grow wild in Europe. They are growing wild but non-native and not exactly like the cultivated domestic variety. It's nearly also so with the topsetting "wild" onions which are found from Texas to Georgia. All had tame origins and at one time may have been brought to this continent as a single species. Now I can see small differences from 3 separate locations. All are now growing "wild" as escaped or abandoned domestic things. And that's exactly the same situation with feral cats and dogs! Martin |
Just noticed that I forget to link to the definition of "feral". You'll find that it applies almost equally to plants as it does to birds and animals. Martin |
Here is a link that might be useful: Feral Definition
A botanical description in a flora key would use the words 'escape' or 'introduced' or specify the origin as in 'Native of Europe.' For A. sativum - 'Commonly cultivated but occasionally an escape.' A. vineale - 'Introduced from Europe.' But feral certainly works here, after all, botanically speaking, there is no differences between onions and garlic, only differences are in the individual species of Allium. |
I think you can eat them if they have not been sprayed with chemicals. So if they grow near a neighborhood, then they might have been sprayed. Here's something else to consider when eating wild plants/berries. Many parks here in Michigan used to be old dumps. Yes really. This cheap land was topped with fill dirt then sold to the city real cheap. Some cities will build houses on top of a dump but most do not, so they turn it into a park. Dumps can have all sorts of nasty chemicals like cleaners, paints (often made with lead), solvents, turpentine, etc. which the plants can soak up. Not to mention, maybe the dump contained medical waste, or hazardous chemicals. I mention this because I went hiking yesterday on one side of a river, and there was all this old junk there. It turns out, the junk was in the hillside spilling out into the river. That whole side of the river used to be a dump, and quite a while ago judging by the 4 digit phone number on a piece of crockery I found. |

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 Magic!
Facts about Magic
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Magic's Info...
Why Choose me?
Magic has a note on his gate stating that he knows how to get out of his kennel which explains why it is locked. If you'd like to take Magic out, you have to ask for assistance. I'm glad I did, not just for his pictures, but because Magic is fun. At first when we were in an interaction pen, he did the usual exploring. Magic didn't mind having his explorations interrupted for attention and pets, but he wasn't too interested in playing. Then suddenly, all of that changed. He had had his fill of sniffing and was ready to play ball! He'd race after the ball and even bring it back. Sometimes he'd drop it at my feet and other times I had to reach for it, but we had a good time. Magic and I became friends, and he gave me some gentle hugs. Right now, Magic has demodectic mange which is not contagious and can be treated. If you look beyond that, you can see what a good looking dog Magic is with his handsome brindle coat and spotted white socks. Come meet Magic today. You'll have to ask to have his gate unlocked, but he's worth the effort!
Act quickly to adopt Magic. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Athens Clarke County Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Magic, a Athens Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Athens, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Athens.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Athens 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 Athens 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 Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Athens paves the way for another one to be saved.

Come and talk about your favorite couple SpyroXCynder, this is the spot man!!!
I'm a fan of Spyro-Cynder, and judging by the fact that there uiis co-op, then the developers are moving towards a public relationship between them.. boyfriend-girlfriend..
Spyro/Cynder is one of the cutest couples ever. Ordinarily, I don't support pairings of characters so young, but these two are so cute and they're both older than their years, so it's okay for them to start having feelings for each other. Also, they just look cute together. ^_^ I've got a ton of art of the two.
you ARE READY KNOW spyro likes her. cause of what he says one of'em is we can't leave her behind and then he says ive got to save and we all no what that jerk bug said. and then spyro said she was being used by the dark master and he said now we can go and in ANB (probably) the way he looks at her and he WANTED to go find her in ten and he says cynder i dont want you to go and all that other poop!
SF94's brother.
Dude, when they are older, little kids would be sweet, i wonder how the relationship will be in the 3rd game?
Well with it being a rated E10+ I don't think we can expectanything too serious but I do think we might see some allusions to their relationship along the storyline and a love scene at the end considering Cynder survives the fight with the DM...
Sorry if I sound like a pessimist .
Click to give life to an e-dragon. http://dragcave.ath.cx/user/58507
Yeah, I would like cheer if Spyro said somthing like this, simple...
Spyro: Cynder..... I love you...
I classic, but the best!
maybe... theres so much to say about this but theres also nothing to say at all really...is there...
"Hope shines through me, I am the bearer. Through me, you also can feel what I feel" Reivan
I dont know, i just wonder how intence love scenes would be in the 3rd game....
Hells yeah man, go Blaze with cheering!
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *pulls out the party hats and noise makers. Puts on same raveing music and attemps to rave and fails missurable* Brake down the house in celibration to the cutest couple! Mountain Dew and Cocacola on me!!!!! well maybe one can each.....
Well shade, I think the most they show is a kiss on the lips., they're not going to show Spyro mating with her remember this is not a M rated game. Spyro has never kissed a girl before in the series. Elora kissed him, but he's never kissed anyone before..
I knew that duh! Its not like they would do the mating scene, but i meant if they would be like all the way to a kiss or leave it like in KH, not much but i think a hug, which drove me crazy, i was like "KISS HER DARN YOU" to sora, lol........
I think the worst we'll get is a kiss or a hug. Personally, I wouldn't mind a hug at the end of LoS3. These two don't have lips to kiss with and I'd rather not see them Frenching in-game. o.O
And here's my favorite Spyro/Cynder art that I've done (it also gets stolen the most on YouTube):
A Friend (drawing)
http://razzek.deviantart.com/art/Spyro- … d-58651750
A Friend (story)
Spyro does have lips, he just has a huge mouth I wonder how Sparx is going to react if they do kiss. "Why are you kissing miss Gloomy?"
he would get mad, and i little grossed out... hey, have you guys seen my fanfic, huge CYnder Spyro things.......
(Signs up for fan club)
I wonder how Sparx is going to react if they do kiss. "Why are you kissing miss Gloomy?"
LOL I think Sparx just don't like her period. But Spyro does, and so do we. (Raspberries dragonfly)
Me says no to kissing, not until after the 3rd game at least. Let it be "puppy love", if not just a deep friendship, know what I mean?
Back to lead an RPG!
Join Legend of Spyro: The Resistance! Coming soon to the RPG forum!
yeah yeah, but the 3rd game is comming out, if they have some sort of kissing (however they do that) I would be like "Yes! you tap that!" lol.... maybe not that hardcore.....
i'm a big fan of this couple...they are like yin and yang they are different but complementar..she spents her childhood in darkness so she is not yet accostumed to things like friendship or love..but i think that she'll gradually understand these feelings with spyro's help
yeah, Spyro teaching her how to live, i would love to see that....
hey....im in! (Razz the Lovey pic, its really cute!, i wish i could draw like you!)
.:A Lover's Kiss, and Forever together.. :.

In preparation for a workshop I did recently on mentoring teenagers, I googled "mentoring older youth" to learn about current research and practice. Virtually all of the links that came up made the assumption that older youth were troubled youth, or high-risk youth, e.g., "juvenile delinquents," pregnant and parenting teens, youth in foster care or with parents in prison. What is that about?!
It's ageism, plain and simple. There is such a pervasive belief that teenagers are not to be trusted, are "screwed up," are something to be avoided or "dealt with" rather than that they are creative, ever-changing, exciting, cool people with strengths and expertise. You see this not only in the research that is conducted but also in the news, movies and TV, conversations with friends, family and neighbors, as well as where we spend our public dollars (youth intervention versus youth development).

Is this type of clematis better for planting near a foundation or is it good for the middle of the yard. I ready something about hybrids not working well away from a foundation, but I don't know what the Henryi is. I'm looking for something to grow on an arbor. I'd like to pair two different varieties, one white and one pink, if anyone has any recommendations. |

- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 10:48
It's the other way around. Sometimes clematis don't do well near a foundation because the eaves of the house can prevent rain from reaching the soil nearest to the foundation. This is especially true further south because the eaves are deeper whereas here in the north the eaves are typically only about a foot deep. If someone who is fairly new to gardening isn't aware of the potential dry-soil-near-the-foundation problem, they might not supplement with extra water. |

Hi, I was just wondering what everyone does when baking their cupcakes? I have noticed that when I bake my cupcakes (two 12 muffin) with the pans side by side they come out with the cupcake kinda slanted to one side. I have read that some bake just one pan at a time. Or some use 2 racks then rotate. What does everyone do? I have also noticed that the lean doesn't happen with every recipe just some, and it drives me crazy!

The Labor Market, Supply and Demand (II) |
By: Walter Martínez
Today, professional training is a primary factor considered by companies when hiring personnel. Along with the necessary skills, companies require experience in the field. Many times this is complicated by the fact that many students prefer to finish their university studies prior to starting to work. This results in generating a lot of supply but little demand; that is, professionals without experience.
Currently, companies seek young professionals in search of job stability, since these are the people who are up to date on the latest trends and innovations and their salary requirements are not relatively high. This can vary, because depending on each company's policies, an individual can be compensated more for their efficiency than for their experience and knowledge in the field, or vice versa.
Professional competency can be acquired from many different places. Learning how to develop skills, whether technical, practical, or behavioral, can be done through workshops, training sessions, seminars and more. Therefore, there are no longer any limitations or excuses for not being prepared and meeting the demands of the labor market.
Finally, demand and the benefits that it can offer will depend mostly on the preparation and location of the supply; competent professionals that can adapt to the constant changes of the market, which decrease the rate of turnover of personnel, and thus permit a balance between demand and the current supply.

FAA, Boeing plan 787 joint review
The FAA plans a comprehensive review of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner's critical systems following a series of electrical system and oil leak incidents. The FAA will review the 787's design, manufacture and assembly.
"The safety of the traveling public is our top priority," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "This review will help us look at the root causes and do everything we can to safeguard against similar events in the future."
In response, Boeing released a statement saying the company "is confident in the design and performance of the 787. It is a safe and efficient airplane that brings tremendous value to our customers and an improved flying experience to their passengers."
Boeing said the airplane has logged 50,000 hours of flight with more than 150 flights occurring daily. "Its in-service performance is on par with the industry's best-ever introduction into service – the Boeing 777. Like the 777, at 15 months of service, we are seeing the 787's fleet wide dispatch reliability well above 90 percent," Boeing's statement said.
A team of FAA and Boeing engineers and inspectors will conduct this joint review, with an emphasis on the aircraft's electrical power and distribution system. The review will also examine how the electrical and mechanical systems interact with each other.
"We are confident that the aircraft is safe. But we need to have a complete understanding of what is happening," said FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta. "We are conducting the review to further ensure that the aircraft meets our high safety standards."
The review will be structured to provide a broader view of design, manufacturing and assembly and will not focus exclusively on individual events. The review is expected to begin in Seattle, but may expand to other locations over the course of several months.
FAA technical experts logged 200,000 hours of work during the 787-type certification and flew on numerous test flights. The FAA reviews 787 in-service events as part of our continued operational safety process.
United Airlines is currently the only U.S. airline operating the 787, with six airplanes in service. The worldwide in-service fleet includes 50 aircraft.
"Regular reviews of program and technical progress are an important part of the validation and oversight process that has created today's safe and efficient air transportation system," Boeing said. "While the 787's reliability is on par with the best in class, we have experienced in-service issues in recent months and we are never satisfied while there is room for improvement. For that reason, we jointly announced with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the start of a review of the 787's recent issues and critical systems.
"Just as we are confident in the airplane, we are equally confident in the regulatory process that has been applied to the 787 since its design inception. With this airplane, the FAA conducted its most robust certification process ever. We expect that this review will complement that effort."

Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley is leaving the ministry altogether after new reports that he had entered into an "unhealthy relationship."
Bentley led the four-month-long revival in Lakeland, Fla., but stepped down from ministry after separating from is wife less than a month ago.
Since then, Fresh Fire Ministries leaders released a new statement on their Web site revealing that Bentley had "entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff."
The issue has prompted Bentley "to refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life," the statement said.
"We wish to apologize to our friends and partners and to the larger body of Christ and to ask for your forgiveness," the ministry board leaders continued in the statement. "We are truly sorry for the pain many of you must feel and so regret that in the midst of great revival, the enemy has found a way into our camp."
They also said the work of the ministry would continue without Bentley.
"While Todd and Shonnah each go through the necessary steps towards restoration and wholeness, we are compelled, with the resources with which God has entrusted us, to continue to spread God's love and power all over the world," they said.

EL PASO - The 4th Annual Crimes Against the Elderly Conference and Legal Day is going on right now. The event is an effort to teach elderly people how to protect themselves.
According to a press release from the El Paso County Attorney, the event will include "living will clinics," where seniors will be provided free legal assistance in executing advanced medical directives and medical power of attorney. They'll also be able to have their legal questions answered and get information about services available to them in the community.
The event is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring a donation of personal hygiene items, adult diapers, clothing, fans or blankets for the Adult Protective Services' Silver Star Resource Room, which benefits the elderly or disabled clients.

Your Daily Shoe Porn: Why Pay More?
Christian Siriano For Payless Is Perfect For The Tranny With An Office Job
Christian Siriano's shoe line for Payless is now available, and even though we caught a glimpse of them during New York Fashion Week, we're still disappointed. At least the ones the models at his show wore were interesting/scary, with spikes and chains galore. The two pairs currently on Payless' website look like they were made for a tranny who works as the assistant to a business executive. Upon seeing the shoes, our Annika replied, "They hurt my feelings." They'd probably hurt our feet, too. Keep reading »

This pointy-haired, spastic character in the short- sleeved, orange plaid shirt was first introduced to television audiences on Canada's comedy skit show SCTV. Ed Grimley's alter-ego, comedian Martin Short, later became a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and the hyperactive comic brought his beloved character along for the ride. With the help of fellow SCTV alumni Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, and Joe Flaherty, Short brought Ed Grimley to Saturday mornings in 1988 for a brief run.
The series itself was most likely a response to CBS's Pee Wee's Playhouse, another wacky funhouse of non sequitirs and all-ages humor. Despite the similarities, The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley never gained the popularity of Pee-Wee's program. However, the show found a rebirth in reruns on Cartoon Network's late night programming in 1996, "and that's not too bad, I must say."

In the evening bazaar
Studded with neon
An unknown girl
Is hennaing my hand
She squeezes a wet brown line
Form a nozzle
She is icing my hand,
Which she steadies with her
On her satin peach knee.
In the evening bazaar
For a few rupees
An unknown girl is hennaing my hand
As a little air catches
My shadow stitched kameez
A peacock spreads its lines
Across my palm.
Colours leave the street
Float up in balloons.
Dummies in shop-fronts
Tilt and stare
With their western perms.
Banners for Miss India 1993
For curtain cloth
And sofa cloth
Canopy me.
I have new brown veins.
In the evening bazaar
Very deftly
An unknown girl
is hennaing my hand
I am clinging
To these firm peacock lines
Like people who cling
to sides of a train.
Now the furious streets
Are hushed.
I'll scrape off
The dry brown lines
Before I sleep,
Reveal soft as a snail trail
The amber bird beneath.
It will fade in a week.
When India appears and reappears
I'll lean across a country
With my hands outstretched
Longing for the unknown girl
In the neon bazaar.
An Unknown Girl is about Moniza Alvi's attempt to find her place in a country to which she does belong to but which she cannot call her own. The poems starts with a description of the setting: it is an evening in a market place where neon signs are the main source of lightening. As the persona sits, perhaps in a stall, getting her hand decorated by henna by a mysterious 'unknown' girl who works for a few rupees. As time passes and colors fade away, the persona imagines that the mannequins in the shop windows are staring at her. As the design is completed and a peacock unfurls its feathers on the palm of her hand, the persona feels that she has achieved a new identity, with the henna running in her veins. She desperately tries to hold on to the intricate lines of henna unwilling to let go and...

Homeowners and landscaping companies have the chance to learn more about a disease that harms boxwood plants.
A meeting on boxwood blight will be held Thursday night at the Virginia Department of Forestry office in Galax.
The disease was first detected in Virginia in Carroll County in 2011 and has since been found in Chesterfield County. It results in the defoliation and dieback of boxwoods.
The meeting is being conducted by the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
Among the topics of discussion are control and management options and the disease's impact on the nursery and landscaping industries.
Meeting set on boxwood blight in Va.

I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I've enjoyed music a lot these days and all I did was listen to my mom's music all the time. I hated it. But one day my friend Alan shared me AC/DC's Back in Black. I loved it so much that I tried searching for AC/DC on itunes. I learned that they don't sell it there. So now i'm buying albums at Barnes & Nobel and eventually I'm starting my own AC/DC tribute band to show my appreciation for AC/DC and how good they were. Hopefully we can legally replace AC/DC and perform at the places that they currently perform (Verizon Center, Donnington Castle, etc...) I salute you AC/DC.

So you have a cat in the house and you are thinking about adopting a Greyhound? Unlike many other dog breeds, these creatures can actually get along with other animals pretty well. Plenty of happy owners breed Greyhounds and cats at the same time, in the same house. Take a look at this short video, you will see these two animals can actually love each other :
Of course it is much easier to start with a puppy, as an adult Greyhound might not be able to accommodate to a cat in the house anymore. To avoid possible problems, make sure to get your new pet used to other ones as soon as you bring it home. As always, it requires patience and love to achieve your desired results. If you are persistent enough and ready to take up on challenge, you might soon take photos like this on your own :
Greyhounds are usually very friendly animals, they get along well with other dog breeds and they literally love humans too.

Mmm...nah, that's not it.
I don't begrudge someone success just because I don't like the way they do it.
I just found that for me that addon was more of a hindrance than a help. It takes up a fair amount of screen space (even scaled down it's awkward to position), and it really didn't make the rotation any easier for me. I found myself second guessing the thing when more than one ability would come off CD at once and I ended up just looking at my bars again. The cons getting cut out of the rotation at certain mana percentages wasn't useful to me either (I do realize you can turn that off =P).
It was more of a "if its not broke, don't fix it" thing for me. I'd been doing just fine using action bars + omnicc since wrath launched.
I suppose what I dislike most about it is the people who make it sound like the end all, be all addon for ret paladins.
