On January 24, 1989, John Joseph Gotti, Jr., American mobster and boss of the Gambino crime family, was arrested for ordering the 1986 assault on union official John O'Connor. Gotti, who bet the arresting officer that he would beat the charge, was released on $100,000 bail, and was in fact acquitted at trial.
The most notorious gangsters of London's East End, Ronnie and Reggie Kray, former boxers known for their violent tendencies, enjoyed mingling with celebrities in their nightclub. Ronnie, a paranoid schizophrenic, was openly bisexual and was allegedly involved in a sexual relationship with a member of the UK's conservative party.
In the mafia, one day you're in and the next day you're dead. Warning: Contains images of dead bodies.
On March 18, 1980, Frank Gotti, John Gotti's 12-year-old son, was killed in a tragic car accident by a man, who was abducted, presumed murdered, later that year. Gotti, the last of the Hollywood-style Mafia icons, was New York's most powerful mob boss in recent history, and for years, the "Teflon Don" seemed above the law.
It was on Valentine's day 1929 in a frigid Chicago that seven men were lined up against a garage brick wall and sprayed with 90 bullets. It was Al Capone's final piece in the puzzle for domination of Chicago.
Joe Bonanno was old school. He had plans to revamp the ranks of rival New York crime families through a series of planned assassinations in order to make himself the "boss of the bosses." The lure of drugs and drug money was too tempting for the next generation, however, and ultimately led to the undoing of Bonanno's criminal empire.
The story of the violent gang of Philadelphia mobsters, who terrorized Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, particularly the City of Richmond, in the early 1930s.
On November 12, 1941, feared Murder, Inc. hitman-turned-informant Abe "Kid Twist" Reles was found dead from a fall from a hotel window. The evidence suggested that Reles had been pushed, earning him the epithet "The canary who sang, but couldn't fly." The story of the organization that carried out Mob assassinations.
We're loving the NY Daily News' gallery of mobster companions today, especially the images of Janice Drake, who seems like a lot of fun but might be a little dangerous.
The Francis Ford Coppola film series is a masterpiece taken from stories of real life gangsters, but softened to show the Mafia as "men of honor" rather than murderous thugs.

I just purchased this eyeshadow from my work in Water Lily, and it is one of the most flattering, beautiful peach colors I have ever used. The color payoff is fantastic, and I will definitely use this whenever I want an easy going, pretty, peaches and creme look.
Months later....I just bought a trio from GloMinerals called Ballerina, and it is a great find! It has a beautiful, light pink, a medium light more shimmery pink, and a cool green. I wore it to work today and have gotten lots of compliments. It's very pretty, and there are lots of possibilities!
Today I used a glo eyeshadow that I got for gratis in the color Silver Mist. It is a beautiful slightly blueish grey, and is great for blending out a smoky eye.

I bought this eyeshadow the other day and am hooked! The shadow stays in place and does not end up pooling around the outer corners of my eyes like other shadows, and stays in place almost all day. It may be a little pricey, but the pigment is so good that I hardly have to use any to get the desired effect.

Love GloMinerals- the eyeshadows are super soft and luxurious. I have the GoGlam palette which is awesome and came with 3 different trios of shadow. They are all super blendable and have the perfect shimmer thats almost art like. I use the e/s for eyeliner too and it looks great.

I have oily skin so it's a challenge to find an eyeshadow that won't crease after wearing for just a few hours. I bought 'Twig' which is a taupe-y brown color and it makes my blue eyes come alive. The color is as true on the skin as it is in the container.
Very smooth application, you don't need to use a lot of this. The color is very concentrated too, so a little goes a long way.
Price is reasonable; not too expensive, not too inexpensive.
Packaging is simple; my only complaint is that it does not include it's own eye shadow brush or tiny mirror for application on the go.
I will definitely buy this product again!
The pigmentation in these eyeshadows is definitely impressive. They go on opaque, blend beautifully, sheer out really nicely (if that is your desired effect) and wear really well. She shimmer is not too sparkly and the texture is like silk. The trio colour groupings are well thought-out and very wearable. Would totally recommend!!

Love this whole line!! I had to write reviews for every glominerals product i have because glominerals is amazing!! the eyeshadow is really nice, it goes on smooth and doesn't settle in to creases. not to mention, all of their products are made with natural ingredients that help your skin rather than hurt it like most makeup does. the eyeshadow lasts all day, i never need to reapply. i would recommend trying this makeup brand, especially their blush or foundation. absolutely love it!!
This is my favorite brand of eyeshadow to date. I'm a product junkie like a lot of people on these boards, and I've blown a lotta $$ on high end eyeshadows. gloMinerals last like NOTHING I've tried, and blend absoutely beautifully.
I have oily skin and almost all eye shadows crease on me by the end of the day. I won't say this looks freshly applied after 8 hours, but I don't see creasing.
Really can't recommend these enough. I have the coppersheen trio (amongst others). Oh and the 'sheen' isn't sparkly - you don't feel like a walking disco ball. Entirely appropriate for daytime.

I love gloMinerlas eyeshadows.They have such pure pigments, and last all day. They really stay true to the color. I love the coppersheen trio. I also have Harvest, a shimmery mocha color, Orchid, a smokey violet color, and Diamond, a soft shimmery off white. My sister used to work for Chanel, so she was used to high end shadow pigments, and she was really impressed with the quality of glominerals shadows. If you try them, you wont be dissapointed!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
FANTASTIC eye shadow. I have a number of colors from the GloMinerals line. They literally last all day on my eyes. The powder actually "melts" onto the eye, so no problems with creasing and sliding like a lot of other shadows. Plus the colors stay on your eyes. My favorite is a color called "Fawn", a very pale flesh tone that makes my brown eyes pop. THESE SHADOWS MAKES WONDERFUL EYELINERS, TOO....I use a flat eyeliner brush diped in water--and the liner lasts ALL DAY and then some!

Hands-on tips for PHP security
I got asked to review a fairly large piece of PHP code recently and, whoooo boy, was I in for a treat (treat as in clawing my eyes out with a rusty spoon while listening to Nickelback, as interpreted by Dr Zoidberg. In reverse). This magnificent piece of code was an eye opener in many ways and it made me feel a little bit better about myself, to be honest. It employed not only what would be called "bad practice", but also a lot of plain ol' stupidity. I know you are just dying for examples and I am not one to deny you the satisfaction. Also note that if this resembles your own code in any way, just leave because we don't take kindly to you kinds of people, y'hear? And bring your cousin dad too. The beast contained gems such as
$connect_db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
if (!$connect_db) {
die('Could not connect becaus of ' . mysql_error());
} else {
mysql_select_db("some_random_db", $connect_db);
$command="INSERT INTO table_name ('username', /* some other crap */)
VALUES ('".$_GET['user']."' /* more crappy crap crap */)";
if (!mysql_query($command,$connect_db)){
die('Could not add user because ' . mysql_error());
echo "
Successfuly added user ".$_GET['user']."
";
Spelling errors not omitted. No cup of heavenly blessed Kopi Luwak coffee, poured into a cup of golden banana leaves by naked triplets could counter the massive damage done to my corneas or, for that matter, my soul. Or what was left of it. The kicker was that the developer claimed it was OO and showed me the following "controller". This is paraphrasing a bit, but you'll get the general idea.
class MySite
var $page;
function MySite($page) {
$this->page = $page;
$content = "page.php?page=".$this->page;
This is where page.php returned the entire document
echo $content;
$init = new MySite($_GET['page']);
Needless to say, everything was passed around in the URL. Nothing was escaped as it "would hurt performance". The e-mail function only checked that there was an @ in the string. You get the picture. Of course, a refactor, and I use the term loosely as it really was a steaming pile of vomit that would need a complete rewrite, was mission critical and the investors didn't like the idea that the site would be down for maintenance for a while. As it turns out, this started as a hobby project that got the attention of somebody with money and decided that it would make a nice platform for a thriving business.
So this little article will deal with some security related matters such as input filtering. I expect there will be a second part to this as there is a plethora of things to consider, but this'll do for now.
First off, I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful library without external dependencies called Inspekt. Mr. Ed Finkler of Funkatron built Inspekt upon the now deprecated Zend_Filter_Input, by Chris Shiflett.
[Insert Inspector Gadget joke here]
Inspekt acts as a firewall API between user input and the rest of the application. It takes PHP superglobal arrays, encapsulates their data in an "cage" object, and destroys the original superglobal. Data can then be retrieved from the input data object using a variety of accessor methods that apply filtering, or the data can be checked against validation methods.
Everybody wins! In order to take advantage of this black magic, all you need to do is something like this;
require "Inspekt.php";
$input = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
Okay, what have we done here? When the library's been required, we create an Inspekt_Supercage – that's a single object that contains each input superglobal as an Inspekt_Cage. Inspekt_Cage objects encapsulate arrays of data. The original array is destroyed so you always have to access the data through the Input_Cage object's methods. Say you need to check if $_POST['important_id'] really is an integer. Note that we are extending the introductory example above.
If it is not an integer, it will return false. More on that in a bit. What's nice about Inspekt is that you can specify the kind of cage to create, i.e. a cage for just $_GET or $_POST, etc. You have the following tools to play with;
Inspekt::makeGetCage(); // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_GET array
Inspekt::makePostCage(); // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_POST array
Inspekt::makeCookieCage(); // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_COOKIE array
Inspekt::makeServerCage(); // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_SERVER array
Inspekt::makeFilesCage() // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_FILES array
Inspekt::makeEnvCage() // Returns an Inspekt_Cage for the $_ENV array
Isn't that nifty? The Inspekt_Supercage has no less than six public properties, such as get for $_GET, post for $_POST, etc. It correlates to the list just above. I promise. You access them by something like the following (again, extended from our first makeSuperCage example);
If it's valid, it will return the value. So, what else do we have in our toolbox? Well, the cage is all good and well, but we need some sort of properties to actually do the filtering or examining values. Let's start with some tools for testing, shall we? The testers are neat methods to check the value on a given key. They return the value of the key if it's good and false if it fails.
testAlnum (mixed $key)
// Returns value if every character is alphabetic or a digit
testAlpha (mixed $key)
// Returns value if every character is alphabetic
testBetween (mixed $key, mixed $min, mixed $max, [boolean $inc = TRUE])
// Returns value if it is greater than or equal to $min and less than or equal to $max.
// If $inc is set to FALSE, then the value must be strictly greater than $min and strictly less than $max.
testCcnum (mixed $key, [mixed $type = NULL])
// Returns value if it is a valid credit card number format.
// The optional second argument allows developers to indicate the type.
testDate (mixed $key)
// Returns $value if it is a valid date. The date is required to be in ISO 8601 format.
testDigits (mixed $key)
// Returns value if every character is a digit
testEmail (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid email format
testFloat (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid float value
testGreaterThan (mixed $key, [mixed $min = NULL])
// Returns value if it is greater than $min
testHex (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid hexadecimal format
testHostname (mixed $key, [integer $allow = ISPK_HOST_ALLOW_ALL])
// Returns value if it is a valid hostname
testInt (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid integer value
testIp (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid IP format
testLessThan (mixed $key, [mixed $max = NULL])
// Returns value if it is less than $max
testOneOf (mixed $key, [ $allowed = NULL])
// Returns value if it is one of $allowed
testPhone (mixed $key, [ $country = 'US'])
// Returns value if it is a valid phone number format. The optional second argument indicates the country.
testRegex (mixed $key, [mixed $pattern = NULL])
// Returns value if it matches $pattern. Uses preg_match() for the matching.
testUri (string $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid URI as defined in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt
testZip (mixed $key)
// Returns value if it is a valid US ZIP
Sexy, isn't it? And in order to access your values after they've been filtered, you may use the following methods;
getAlnum (mixed $key)
// Returns only the alphabetic characters and digits in value.
getAlpha (mixed $key)
// Returns only the alphabetic characters in value.
getDigits (mixed $key)
// Returns only the digits in value. This differs from getInt().
getDir (mixed $key)
// Returns dirname(value).
getInt (mixed $key)
// Returns (int) value.
getPath (mixed $key)
// Returns realpath(value).
getPurifiedHTML (string $key)
// This returns the value of the given key passed through the HTMLPurifer object,
// if it is instantiated with Inspekt_Cage::loadHTMLPurifer
getROT13 (string $key)
// Returns ROT13-encoded version
getValue (string $key)
// Retrieves a value from the cage
getRaw (string $key)
// Returns value, unfiltered.
noPath (mixed $key)
// Returns basename(value).
noTags (mixed $key)
// Returns value with all tags removed.
noTagsOrSpecial (mixed $key)
// Returns value with tags stripped and the chars '"&<> and all ascii chars
// under 32 encoded as html entities
And of course, there is
keyExists (mixed $key)
// Checks if a key exists
It wouldn't be complete if there where no methods for escaping strings prior to database calls. Well, aren't we in luck?
escMySQL (mixed $value, [resource $conn = null])
// Escapes the value given with mysql_real_escape_string
escPgSQL (mixed $value, [resource $conn = null])
// Escapes the value given with pg_escape_string
escPgSQLBytea (mixed $value, [resource $conn = null])
// Escapes the value given with pg_escape_bytea
I should point out that you actually can wrap any array in Inspekt_Cage and not just superglobals, making the library a handy dandy tool for all your filtering and testing needs.
$dirty = array( /* imagine some random, unfiltered values here */ );
$johnny_cage = Inspekt_Cage::Factory($dirty);
to test some value in the array, just use
To get even more nitty gritty, you can use static methods for those one off moments.
Inspekt::isAlnum (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isAlpha (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isBetween (mixed $value, mixed $min, mixed $max, [ $inc = TRUE])
Inspekt::isCcnum (mixed $value, [mixed $type = NULL])
Inspekt::isDate (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isDigits (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isEmail (string $value)
Inspekt::isFloat (string $value)
Inspekt::isGreaterThan (mixed $value, mixed $min)
Inspekt::isHex (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isHostname (mixed $value, [integer $allow = ISPK_HOST_ALLOW_ALL])
Inspekt::isInt (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isIp (mixed $value)
Inspekt::isLessThan (mixed $value, mixed $max)
Inspekt::isOneOf (mixed $value, [ $allowed = NULL])
Inspekt::isPhone (mixed $value, [ $country = 'US'])
Inspekt::isRegex (mixed $value, [mixed $pattern = NULL])
Inspekt::isUri (string $value, [integer $mode = ISPK_URI_ALLOW_COMMON])
Inspekt::isZip (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getAlnum (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getAlpha (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getDigits (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getDir (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getInt (mixed $value)
Inspekt::getPath (mixed $value)
Inspekt::noPath (mixed $value)
Inspekt::noTags (mixed $value)
Built in goodies
If you feel that using a library isn't cool enough, or if I haven't made the benefits clear, there are some things you ca do for filtering your values. I'm talking about the often overlooked PHP Filter functions. These are available if you are using at least PHP 5.2. Before continuing, I want to point you to the types of filters available. They're validation filters, sanitizing filters, miscellaneous filters and, well, the predefined constants. First off is filter_var.
filter_var ( mixed $variable [, int $filter = FILTER_DEFAULT [, mixed $options ]] )
filter_var does what you think it does – it filters a variable with the specified filter. Go tautology! the $filter is specified in the list in the previous paragraph. The $options are an array of options or bitwise disjunction of flags. The function returns the filtered data or false if it fails. A quick example of e-mail validation could be
$is_it_okay = filter_var("some_dude\X00= _@ne@example..com", FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
Then there's filter_var_array, which allows you to check an array of values.
filter_var_array ( array $data [, mixed $definition ] )
An example could be (borrowed from this place)
$data = array('bold', '', 'P*}i@893746%%%p*.i.*}}|.dw');
$myinputs = filter_var_array($data,FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
//formarray(3) { [0]=> string(4) "bold" [1]=> string(10) "javascript"
[2]=> string(26) "P*}i@893746%%%p*.i.*}}|.dw" }
Then we have filter_input which gets an external variable by name and optionally filters it.
filter_input ( int $type , string $variable_name [, int $filter = FILTER_DEFAULT [, mixed $options ]] )
$type may be either INPUT_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE, INPUT_SERVER or INPUT_ENV ( INPUT_SESSION and INPUT_REQUEST are not implemented yet). Returns the requested variable on success, false if not or null if the $variable_name is not set (unless you use the flag FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE – in that case it returns false if the variable is not set and null if it fails). Say you want to sanitize $_GET['search'] for special characters. Try something like
$search = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'search', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
There is also filter_input_array, which does what you think it does – It filters an array instead of just a single variable.
$example_filters = array (
"url" => FILTER_VALIDATE_URL,
"ip" => FILTER_VALIDATE_IP,
"temeraturep" => array(
$sweetness = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $example_filters);
A quickie is filter_has_var, which checks if a variable of a specified type exists or not.
filter_has_var ( int $type , string $variable_name )
$type can be either INPUT_GET, INPUT_POST, INPUT_COOKIE, INPUT_SERVER or INPUT_ENV.
A note on CRSF and XSS as well, while we're at it. Inspekt allows you to run your data through the getPurifiedHTML method which basically runs it through HTMLPurifier and should provide a reasonable amount of XSS protection. If you have any tips on other XSS prevention projects or functions, please let me know. I stumbled upon a related project, csrf-magic. It uses PHP's output buffering to "dynamically rewrite forms and scripts" and also check tokens in POST requests. You call it with
include_once 'csrf-magic.php';
It will even dynamically rewrite AJAX requests that uses XMLHttpRequest, if you want it to. Pretty sweet. It's supposed to play along quite nicely with jQuery, MooTools, Prototype, Ext, Dojo, Yahoo UI Library, script.aculo.us and Prototype. There is also an option to set a configuration in the PHP script. Check out the following (borrowed form the bundled readme);
// This gets called if a csrf check fails
function my_csrf_callback() {
echo "You're doing bad things young man!";
function csrf_startup() {
// While csrf-magic has a handy little heuristic for determining whether
// or not the content in the buffer is HTML or not, you should really
// give it a nudge and turn rewriting *off* when the content is
// not HTML. Implementation details will vary.
if (isset($_POST['ajax'])) csrf_conf('rewrite', false);
// This is a secret value that must be set in order to enable username
// and IP based checks. Don't show this to anyone. A secret id will
// automatically be generated for you if the directory csrf-magic.php
// is placed in is writable.
csrf_conf('secret', 'ABCDEFG123456');
// don't stop working.
csrf_conf('rewrite-js', '/csrf-magic.js');
// This makes csrf-magic call my_csrf_callback() before exiting when
// there is a bad csrf token. This lets me customize the error page.
csrf_conf('callback', 'my_csrf_callback');
// While this is enabled by default to boost backwards compatibility,
// for security purposes it should ideally be off. Some users can be
// NATted or have dialup addresses which rotate frequently. Cookies
// are much more reliable.
csrf_conf('allow-ip', false);
// Finally, include the library
include_once '/path/to/csrf-magic.php';
If you would like to roll your own CSRF solution, a simple one can be scripted on a coffee break. When dealing with forms, add a random token to your $_SESSION after calling session_start() such as;
$_SESSION['my_token'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE));
And then in the form itself, add a hidden input like so;
<input name="my_token" type="hidden" value="< ?php echo $my_token; ? >" />
After submit, you can check if the token is valid with something simple as;
if ($_POST['my_token'] == $_SESSION['my_token']){
/* Fun stuff */
You may ask, why don't we limit the amount of time a token is valid? Yes, well, let's do that then.
// Add token and time
$_SESSION['my_token'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE));
$_SESSION['my_token_time'] = time();
// Assume we now submitted the form, yadda yadda
$are_we_screwed = time() - $_SESSION['my_token_time'];
if ($_POST['my_token'] == $_SESSION['my_token']){
/* It's all good! Or is it? */
if ( $are_we_screwed < 60 ) {
/* Less than a minute to play with */
} else {
/* Fail */
There you have it. Some quick tips and/or things to think about. I'm not sure how I can end this little tidbit, so I'll just paste a picture to keep you busy. Mm'kay? Update: Reddit user pashj gave me a tip on adding a link to XSS examples so you can test you own project for, well, attack vectors. A classic cheat sheet full of examples is this one over at ha.ckers.org. Try it out! Let me know how it goes. |

Hi everyone,
I live in Southern California. Considering buying a Wayne Dalton glass garage door (8800 series) with a Liftmaster 3/4HPS DC motor screw drive garage door opener (model 3840).
Also, I have been told by one company that it's better to use a chain drive opener with double rails vs. other drives (belt or screw) with a single rail because glass garage doors are so heavy. Does anyone know if there's any truth to that? Thanks! |

Using the appropriate GDO (garage door opener) mechanism is common sense. Glass is heavy - if one has the wealth and wishes to flaunt it.....so be it. |

A properly installed and maintained garage door is counterbalanced by the door springs. It can easily be opened and closed by hand. Any opener on the market can do the job. If it were me I would go with the belt drive but if it were me there wouldn't be a Wayne Dalton anything in my house. |
@don_1_2006: bad experience with Wayne Dalton? Please share. I've read mixed reviews about Wayne Dalton doors, but they were mostly back from 2006-2007... was wondering if things have improved since then. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 14:41
I haven't had problems with Wayne Dalton but have had too many people that have. I've never read or heard anything positive about them. |
If you are not a fan of Wayne I have a bp door in my home and love the look and design. |

I priced BP versus Clopay Avante and it was somewhat higher - any idea what the tradeoffs are in quality? |

A while back I mentioned that I was going to clean out my craft room. It is almost all gone now. I saved some basic tools/supplies and my crocheting. Some lady who was at my yard sale this past weekend said she was buying something (whatever it was ) for the summer Bible class to do and mentioned she also worked with sveral boy scout troops. I asked her if she would ,like what I had in craft materials and supplies and she said yes.
Yesterday she, her DIL and son each came with their cars (He had his truck) and they picked this stuff up. She will never have to buy anything for crafts again!!

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 Louie 2!
Facts about Louie 2
- Breed: Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Louie 2's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.

Other Pets at A Tail to Tell Puppy Mill Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Louie 2, a South Amboy Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) for sale in South Amboy, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) dog from a breeder in South Amboy.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in South Amboy 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 South Amboy 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 Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in South Amboy paves the way for another one to be saved.

Does anybody know of a CP, other than nepenthes, that is suitable to try in a terrarium for this winter. Almost everything i read talks against doing this for one reason or another.All my pitchers are outdoors along with the others.but i thought it would be fun to have something in the house. that likes terrarium type humidity thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tropical Sundews or butterworts. That's about it. |
Yea tommy, I was leaning towards the sundews. I have read of a Hybrid between california and Hawaii drosera is a good terrarium one. thanks |

I am so glad to find this thread. I've been wanting a CP terrarium every since I saw one in my favorite professor's home many years ago. It was an aquarium-open top, of course, with a variety of plants. I owned a VFT about 10 years ago-I kept it in a pot which I placed in a tray of distilled water. Everyone was happy until I made a dire error repotting..... This time, I had a fish bowl-exactly like the example that "the terrarium guy" had for his VFT. I followed the instructions except I put a layer of marbles on the bottom for some drainage, and used vermiculite instead of perlite. I expected to lose a few traps from all the handling, and stress, but this isn't a happy plant. It's turning yellowish, the shell pink traps have faded, and even though I have a number of new leaves and traps coming in, once they get mature they seem to fall down-drooping until laying on the moss. Would it be a good idea to take it out of the bowl and put it into a pot with bottom watering from a tray underneath? I'm concerned about stressing out the poor thing even more. It's been about 3 weeks since I put it in the terrarium. On the one hand I don't want the plant to get any worse looking, but on the other hand I don't want to harass the poor thing to death. The fish bowl seemed perfect-offering some humidity, but not too much and allowing flies in as well. Maybe it's not the terrarium but something I did....in any case,should I move it out now or wait a while longer? Thank you for any help you can offer. Shawna |
This is a sore subject for me but I'll try to be calm, VFTs and Sarracenias and temperate Sundews and Butterworts are NOT terrarium plants and belong OUTSIDE. They HAVE to go through a dormancy period every fall/winter for at least 3 months. If your area gets below 35 in fall/winter outdoors then you need to find a place that stays between 35 and 40 for the winter. Mine go in the fridge. |
Hey Shawna, what does your soil mix consist of ?? are you using peat or sand or something else.my flytraps do well with with a mix of canadian peat and coarse sand, even though for me coarse sand is hard to get here, unless you want to sift out the garbage. |

I was hoping to have a candlelight wedding ceremony, but I am unclear about how it actually works. I bought a ton of white Christmas lights, which I am hanging from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the ceremony/reception ballroom, but I don't think this will give off enough light so that wedding guests will be able to see. Can you give me a few more suggestions?
Your twinkly lights sound great, but you're probably right about wanting more light. First, make sure you know what the local fire ordinances are, including the guidelines as to how many candles you can light -- or if you can light them at all. Ask the manager of the location to help you find that out. Then, based on the regulations, you need to decide where you want to place the candles. Sounds like you're concerned about there being enough light around the two of you at the altar, so you might want to put large candles on stands (maybe decorated with flowers) around where you will exchange vows so people can see the area. You could also place one at the end of each pew. But don't overdo it -- the whole purpose of a candlelight ceremony is that the room is dim, after all.

"We're girls, we know it, we're happy and we show it! GIRLS ON THE RUN IS SO MUCH FUN!"
I throw my hand up in the air to conclude the team's exuberant pre-race cheer, beaming at the circle of nervous 4th grade girls in their hazard orange racing t-shirts. After months of hard work, the launch of the culminating Girls on the Run Twin Cities 5k race in Minneapolis was mere moments away. When the starting gun went off, we lunged forward as a team, falling into an even pace amongst the sound of each other's footsteps.
Girls on the Run (GOTR), an official partner of Girl Up, is a nonprofit organization that uses running as a tool to empower girls and spark conversations on topics ranging from healthy eating to body image to bullying. GOTR has chapters across the nation, most of which are connected with elementary or middle schools and led by community volunteers.
I knew volunteering with GOTR would be a great way for me to extend my work with Girl Up by continuing to create community partnerships and help girls on a personal level. As a Junior Coach for a GOTR chapter in Minnesota, I have seen firsthand how running can be used as a tool of empowerment for girls. Not only does it teach skills such as work ethic, goal-setting, dedication, and healthy living, but in my opinion there is no better way to build a cohesive community than pushing oneself to the point of near exhaustion, together.
I was on the home stretch of the 5k race when a girl up ahead stopped running altogether. Her stomach hurt and she didn't think she could go on. One by one the rest of the team came sprinting up from behind and we all gathered around the struggling girl offering her words of encouragement. After a few minutes, we grabbed each other's hands and continued down the path together, finally crossing the finish line with a triumphant fist pump and hugs all around.
As a Girl Up Teen Advisor, I am continually inspired by these types of connections that I get to witness on a regular basis – whether it is helping girls come together to finish a 5k in my community, collaborating with Girl Up clubs across the nation for advice on fundraising, or hearing the story of friends in Ethiopia who pass around a solar lamp every evening to take turns finishing their homework assignments.
Because truly, "Alone we are strong, but together we are stronger."

The BS 50-4s four-cycle rammer features a Wacker Neuson WM 100 engine, delivering a 10 percent increase in power. It hits at 660 blows per minute and has an amplitude (stroke) of 1.56 inches. The unit features an easier start because of its purge bulb carburetor, which allows operators to purge air out of the carburetor and replace it with fuel. The rammer has an integral ignition and fuel shut-off in the throttle.
Wacker has expanded its vibratory rammer line to include two models powered by a 4-cycle Honda engine.
Toro's compaction equipment line was developed through the company's acquisition of products from Stone and includes plate compactors, rammers, and a trench roller.
The Wacker Neuson EZ 17 compact hydraulic excavator, the smallest zero-tail-swing model in the company's range, features a compact footprint, expandable undercarriage, and two-speed drive.
Wacker Neuson's new two-cycle, oil-injected BS-2i rammer features a new oil tank that increases the amount of run time up to 100 hours per tank of oil.

Hi - I just canned some quarts of corn following the BBB recipe...
when I put the cans IN the canner, there was boiling water covering the corn. When I pulled the cans OUT of the canner, the liquid was only 1/2 - 3/4 of the jar. Did I mess up? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It happens sometimes. Some of your liquid boiled out. As long as all your jars sealed, you're fine. Use the ones with the least liquid first as the corn that isn't covered will start to turn color faster. It's still OK to eat, just unattractive! If you have jars that don't seal, you need to refrigerate within 24 hours and eat soon! Or freeze the contents. Deanna |
It is common if you let your pressure get too high or if you let the steam pressure off too quickly. I know 10 lbs. can be hard to maintain - takes some finess with the stove knob. ;) But letting the pressure fall off naturally by adjusting the heat source rather than using the pressure release valve to reduce pressure keeps the liquid in the jars rather than forcing it out into the cooker. Pressure canning is kinda like walking a tightrope sometimes. ;) Dave |
- Posted by paulc_gardener IN (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 07 at 6:23
I don't know why you put that much water in your canner. In a pressure canner you only use about 1/4 to 3/8 inch in the bottom. |
I was talking about the liquid in the jars. But the directions I have seen say 2-3 inches - is that not correct? |
- Posted by paulc_gardener IN (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 07 at 12:24
When canning corn you fill the jar with corn and add boiling water with a little headspace. If the pressure was a little high, might explane some loss. However, the problem probably was the corn was over ripe and it absorbed some of the liquid. When I cann corn by itself or with tomatoes, It comes out just like I put it in. |
The corn looks like it expanded - so that may be the case. It has been dry the past few weeks here... |
My pressure canner uses 2-3 inches in the bottom too. I've never seen one using less. I don't can corn as I don't like the "overcooked" flavor, so I'm not much help. I have the freezer space and prefer it that way. Just a personal preference. Deanna |
My pressure canner also calls for at least "3 inches minimum" and I have never seen one that called for any less either. 1/4 to 3/8" of water isn't much especially for corn that takes 1 hour and 25 minutes at 10 pounds. Seems like you'd be cooking in a dry pot. Dave |
- Posted by shirleywny5 5 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 07 at 16:45
By hot packing the corn you can eliminate much of the problem of losing liquid. I use the same liquid I heat the corn in to fill the jars. I put corn loosely in the jars only to the first bend in the shoulder and fill with liquid. I mark a spot on the stove knob so I know where the correct jiggles are. I have been using the same mark for years. Sometimes it's 4, sometimes 6 or 8 jiggles. I call it a quiet steady jiggle. The more you adjust the flame the more liquid you will lose. By the time you get the correct jiggles, your time is up. Relax |
- Posted by paulc_gardener IN (My Page) on Thu, Aug 16, 07 at 5:46
Something is wrong with a canner loosing water. I can process three or more batches of 19 pints without adding anymore water. The water that I put in stays there. |
If the water boils out too quickly, it could be due to too much heat (makes sense?) while in the pressure canner. I do know that after it starts to vent steam, the heat must be regulated to keep its steam to a very low amount. If its jetting out fast, it may be too hot and thats when the water inside gets lost. |
Unless I am incredibly wrong: She is talking about the water in the jars escaping- not the water in the canner. Kterlep- When it happened to me I was told to not worry as it happens. But I think digdirt suggested you use the lowest first- that's a good idea as the exposed corn will probably brown. on a side note- have you tried freezing corn? My mom and I freeze corn every year. It is so much easier than canning. It only gets cooked for 4-5 minutes so you don't have to worry about it tasting over cooked- ours taste just like when it was fresh on the cob. We use a vaccum sealer (a comercial one- but any you can find at walmart will work) It makes the packaging very small. I store mine in a plastic shoe box in the freezer, come december when it is cold and summer is practically forgotten we will open a package nuke it for a few minutes and yummy fresh tasting corn. You should try it! good luck with your canning adventures! bluejean in ohio |
You're right bluejean - the original question was about water boiling out of the jars, NOT out of the pressure cooker itself. ;) The thread got a bit side tracked with the post that only 1/4 inch of water was needed in the canner itself - I think that may have caught some of us off-guard. I have spent some hours now searching on the web and in my Ball book plus the old Kerr book I have and some other books on preserving produce. Every single source I've been able to find recommends 2-3 inches of water as a minimum requirement (prior to putting the jars in) regardless of the brand or size of the pressure cooker. But maybe other brands have different requirements. Like you, I much prefer to freeze corn but have had the liquid forced out of jars of stewed tomatoes and green beans when I haven't monitored the pressure as closely as I should have. Does no real harm as long as the jar seals but I can see how it could be worrisome to some relatively new to the process. Dave |

Volkswagen models, news & reviews
By Georg Kacher
Green news
30 June 2008 15:52
Remember Volkswagen's 'one-litre' car, capable of one litre per 100km, or a scarcely credible 282mpg? Well VW has approved top-secret plans to build the limited-edition fuel miser in 2010, CAR Online can reveal. The tiny, grey cigar-shaped curiosity was a triumphal hit at the 2002 annual meeting in Hamburg and now – finally – it's heading for production. At the time the chairman of VW's supervisory board predicted that the super-economical two-seater would go into production as soon as the cost of the carbonfibre monocoque dropped from €35,000 (£28,000) to €5000 (£4000), which he estimated would happen in 2012. Now the VW 1L will hit the market two years ahead of schedule, in 2010.A VW that does 282mpg! What'll she cost?The asking price? That's a game of political posturing. Volumes will be restricted to keep costs under control and, according to one well placed insider CAR spoke to, anything from €20,000 (£16,000) to €30,000 (£24,000) is possible. Expect a large amount of subsidy from VW, which hopes to reap a slew of headlines in the current climate.Somewhat surprisingly, the basic vehicle concept of the one-litre VW (pictured) hasn't changed that much over the past six years. To keep the frontal area as small as possible, the passenger still sits behind the driver. To ensure optimum structural rigidity, the aircraft-style canopy door concept will also be retained.

VW to relaunch 'one-litre' eco car

RE: VW to relaunch 'one-litre' eco car
RovnMichael down here overlooks a major factor... it is very rare that a six seater will actually be used to transport 6 people. most cars are used for 1 to 3 people at best on average there's about 1.3 people in each car at any given time. The sixseaters are at that point much l;ess efficient, becuase the added wight and bulk of the car cause a higher consumption of fuel per passenger that is actually using it... these things are very typical, but the efficiency should be calculated not by the number of seats available, but by the number of seats actually being occupied.. The Penguin (VW 1-litre) would definitely be a smart solution, even for many of VW's current punters, but VW don't want to miss out on the profitable Golf and Passat sales, the bigger the car, the bigger the profit margins, so they will price this little miracle out of the market....

andrewkelsey says
Find it hard to believe that anything more than just a few real believers will actually buy this at the price proposed. I doubt VW will actually put it on the market in this form, although they might use some of the technology in something more mainstream. There's a well-established format for a small economy car. It ideally includes space for four people with side-by-side seating front and back. Why would anybody buy this when they could have an electric Mitsubishi MiEV which will be even cheaper to run and can take both kids to school and have room for your shopping?

RovnMichael says
A little math tells me this is funny by the year 2010 or 2012 might there be better alternatives. Just thinking of course this is to replace a six person automobile regardless of the mileage per gallon so if there were 500,000 people needing to travel there would have to be 250,000 of these vehicles and then if there were six people vehicles there would need to be only 83,333.333 vehicles so the problem is refilling whichever is the choice and parking those vehicles regardless where it is at. OK so maybe some more math can show us that 238mpg is a standard for only two people while the total vehicles needed to replace is three we multiply by 3 to arrive at 714 then divide by 6 arriving at a standard figure of 119 (equivalent of six people) while this 119 number shows us that in a scooter world on wheels that its actually less mileage than what a street legal scooter would be capable of at better. The 2008 Matrix II-170 states 95mpg @MSRP $2,499.00 plus freight and dealer prep. (SOHC 168cc, 4-stroke, 1-cyl) and the 2007 XPEED-50R states 125mpg @MSRP $1,599.00 plus freight and dealer prep. (49cc 2-stroke, 1cyl) while the best 2008 XPEED-250i states 85mpg @MSRP $4,299.00 plus freight and dealer prep. (249cc DOHC, 4-stroke, 1-cyl) and the 2008 MATRIX II-150 states 95mpg @MSRP $2,099.00 plus freight and dealer prep. (149cc SOHC 4-stroke, 1-cyl) I so could this mean much difference. I would say yes because the standard gas tank size is 2 gallons and it takes less time at a refill station for scooters than it would for a huge real estate user like VW's shows and the off road capability might just be the turning point in avoiding an accident in progress and thats the only route a VW could not take or skidding out of control makes it even safer than making contact with the wood fence or a telephone pole being transported. I can't propose that some serious thought has been put into the engines scooters are employing but sometime in the future perhaps before 2010 there will be better engines and some can be diesel while other will be Electric Scooters completely eco friendly. The alternatives are super values for the money esp considering shipment to the USA if having to purchase the VW in the UK or Germany. Scotters: http://www.umamerica.com/

Without any consideration for material versus ecological problems, in the Middle East people face sand storms, while in America floods and tornadoes are major threats not to be topped by hurricanes occasionally hitting the Gulf Coast so in Germany all there is ecologically unfriendly is (1) fog, (2) snow and cold, (3) thunderstorms. Besides this try selling the Middle Eastern nation 100 vehicles for use by tourists, as difficult as getting them to wear paper clothes. So the reality hits and hits hard on business challengers. Yes the Stealth Bomber is subject to bad weather and recent sand storm attacks but it at least has a ultra covering over the carbon fiber body. Finding you vehicle floating down a steam or a river would be terrible to encounter a bridge column and the shell crack or the vehicle flip over and you would be locked inside with a seat belt. Remember on a scooter there is no seat belt and if you were in a flood chances of the scooter floating is slim to none but if it did you might just notice it bobbing up and down as you swam to shore. There are circumstances where I would rather be inside a covering rather than riding a scooter down the road, but hey, the big deal is breakdown and if a scooter did just put it in the back of a pickup truck and drive the pickup truck home and forget a tow truck on July 4th or any other holiday your problem occurs or having to get your wife out of the back seat to drive because your sweat got into your eyes and you cannot see. Well, only these things are irritating enough to turn away VW or others but the price of insurance for a four wheel vehicle is considerable more than insurance for a scooter or motorcycle for that matter and its a law in America that everyone has insurance.

Is it going to be the Japanese Water Car which displaces oil? http://aquygen.blogspot.com/2008/07/japanese-water-car-powered-by-water-and.html Or is it going to be an advanced battery technology known as an ultracapacitor? http://bariumtitanate.blogspot.com/2008/05/interview-with-richard-weir-ceo-of.html ...if either one could be combined with the one litre car, it would appear to be game over for petro stations. actually, the ultracap technology is supposed to scale from pacemaker to power plant so your luxury SUV still has a future...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] CHINA/US/GV/CSM - Piracy in China costs US 1m jobs, study says

Agence France-Presse in Big Sky, Montana
11:47am, May 19, 2011
US firms could support nearly one million more jobs if China stopped
intellectual property violations, a study published on Wednesday said,
leading US lawmakers to call for a tough line with Beijing.
In a report requested by senators, the US International Trade Commission
surveyed US businesses and estimated that they lost some US$48 billion in
2009 due to infringement of intellectual property rights in the mainland.
If Beijing raised its enforcement US companies could increase employment
at home by 923,000 jobs, the survey said. However, the figure includes
hiring from other companies, not just new jobs in the sector.
The commission gave an even higher estimate when it relied on a
statistical model rather than its survey. It said up to 2.1 million jobs
could be supported if Beijing cracked down on rampant piracy in areas such
as software and movies.
Max Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee that requested
the study, said China's trade practices were costing the United States
"billions of dollars and millions of jobs".
"We cannot pretend that there aren't real consequences to these violations
when these numbers show that millions of American jobs are on the line,"
said Baucus, a member of President Barack Obama's Democratic Party.
The report was released as trade officials from 21 Asia-Pacific economies
met at the Big Sky ski resort in Montana, the home state of Baucus who
pressed to host the session of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation
(APEC) forum.
Baucus hoped that the Big Sky meeting would help to "break down trade
barriers and make it cheaper, faster and easier for US small businesses to
export to these lucrative markets."
Senator Chuck Grassley, a member of the rival Republican Party, said the
study showed the need to seek rigorous protection of intellectual property
when negotiating trade deals.
"China wants the benefits of an economic relationship with the United
States but won't hold up its end of the bargain," the Iowa senator said.
The United States and China, the world's two largest economies, have long
sparred on trade with a number of US lawmakers accusing the Beijing of
unfairly supporting its industries.
During talks earlier this month in Washington, Vice Premier Wang Qishan
rejected suggestions that China's growth came through artificial measures
such as a devalued currency and urged the United States not to
"politicise" economic relations.
During the talks, the United States said the Beijing promised to improve
protection of intellectual property rights and also avoid preferences for
mainland businesses in awarding contracts - another key concern for US
The Obama administration has sought to ease tensions with China on a
number of fronts. The United States is this week welcoming the PLA chief
for the first time in seven years.
Piracy is also a problem for companies in the mainland. An official study
in Beijing recently found that pirated software cost the domestic industry
130.9 billion yuan (HK$156 billion) last year.

Once the headquarters of a Bhutanese Governor, the word 'kalim' means King's Minister and 'Pong' - the stronghold of the King's minister. It is also called 'Kalibong' or the black spur by the hill people. 'Kalipong' in local dialect stands for 'Kaulim' which is a fibrous plant which grows in abundance in this region. The meaning that has found the most favour is the Lepcha meaning of the name - 'ridge where we play'. It is said that these local tribesmen used to organise field sports while not engaged in agricultural pursuits - hence its name. Somewhat secluded and tucked away in the corner under the big Darjeeling umbrella, Kalimpong offers a quiet and relaxed holiday against the backdrop of Kanchenjunga.
Kalimpong was originally part of Bhutan. In 1865, after the Anglo-Bhutan War, it was merged with Darjeeling, and became a sub-division of Darjeeling in 1916, and developed as a hill station. It flourished as a wool trading centre with Tibet till 1950, when the Chinese took over Tibet. It continues to be part of Darjeeling District, and is now an attractive tourist and educational centre.

Lava: 34 kms away, hidden in mists and clouds, at an altitude of 2,350 Metres, this small village, on the old trade route to Bhutan, is surrounded by virgin pine forests. It has a lovely monastery of Bhutanese origin and a Nature Interpretation Centre. Popular for nature exploration and bird watching. It is also the starting point for trekking to the Neora National Park, which is a storehouse of flora, wildlife and leads to the 3,152 metre high RacheLa tri-junction of Bhutan, Sikkim and West Bengal, with a panoramic view of the Chola Range.
Lolegaon: Also called Kapher, is 25 kms from Lava, along a lovely forest drive. It has a heritage forest and a view point for snow ranges of Singalila Range.
Samthar Plateau: Scenic and remote plateau, at an elevation of 1,400 metres, it is 80 kms from Kalimpong, and 45 kms from Lava. It has breathtaking snow views of the entire range, superb sunrise and sunset, picture post card hamlets, exotic flora, forests, mountain streams, river pools "far from the maddening crowds". Popular for nature holidays, walking tours, angling, mountain biking and nature and cultural explorations on foot.

Until you can use a Bitcoin in a pay phone, subway turnstile, buy a Coca-Cola, or tip a waiter,
THEN it is just funny Monopoly Money.
The 'Esperanto of Currency'.
THIS week our correspondents discuss a new Twitter record, whether Bitcoin is a real currency and the demise of the Kepler space telescope

Until you can use a Bitcoin in a pay phone, subway turnstile, buy a Coca-Cola, or tip a waiter,
THEN it is just funny Monopoly Money.
The 'Esperanto of Currency'.
Bitcoin. Money is the sixth sin without which one cannot make use of the other five. How is the value of a bitcoin determined? Why I ask is the other scandal after Libor over interest rates was the manipulation of currency exchange rates. A personal example on moving to Holland I asked the Dutch Bank ABN AMRO the exchange rate for 1 SFr, I was told, then I asked for 1 million SFr I was told the same rate. My calculation gave that the Dutch bank earned many thousands of euro on a simple money transfer.
the future is now a reality:
One possible future of bitcoin - you hold your smartphone up to another individual's smartphone or business's bitcoin reader in order to obtain their bitcoin wallet account. You then type in the amount to pay them for the product or service rendered. That easy, that simple. No third party involved. And it does no one any good to steal only your bitcoin account # without the encryption code, so you don't care who has your wallet #. It would be like a very secure debit card. I hope we get there.

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 Bowzer!
Facts about Bowzer
- Breed: Border Terrier Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Bowzer's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Oh, hi! I'm Bowzer! I'm new to town and I'm looking for a new family to call my own! I was in the pound for a while and I did NOT like it there very much. Now that I'm at my foster home, I am DIGGING all the comforts of home! My foster mama has a lot to say about me. First of all, she says I'm so cute that her face hurts from smiling. I've impressed her a lot because I'm potty trained (I don't know what the big deal is – I'm 5 years old, for goodness' sake!). At night, she tells me I'm a good boy because I sleep through the night in my kennel, as long as she gives me a chew stick. There are other dogs about my size at my foster home and I get along really good with them. I'm a pretty laid back kinda guy. Mostly, I love taking naps and snuggling. My foster mama says I'm the best hugger.
I listen really well and I sit for a treat. There are two c-a-t-s at my foster home and I'm fascinated by them. Sometimes I try to chase them, so my foster mom says I might be best for a family without those creatures. I'm a low energy guy in the prime of my life, so I'd be really happy to have a chill, laid-back family who appreciates the finer things, like movie nights and hanging out in the yard. Wherever you go, I'll be closeby because I LOVE hanging out with people. I'll be your best friend and your ever-faithful companion!!
Bowzer's adoption fee is $375, and he is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application. Once you fill out our adoption application, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and set up a time for you to meet Bowzer! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
Other Pets at Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bowzer, a Maple Grove Border Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Terrier for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Border Terrier dog from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove 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 Maple Grove 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 Terrier breeders who help with Border Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

2014-15 Academic Year
Students currently receiving assistance (or who wish to apply for assistance) under the Federal Student Aid Programs (Pell Grant, Supplemental Grant, Perkins Loan, Direct Stafford Loan, Direct PLUS (Parent) Loan, Work-Study), the Maryland Educational Assistance Grant and Guaranteed Access Grant Programs, or the Loyola Grant and Claver Grant Programs must follow the application procedures listed below, since these awards are based on financial need which must be demonstrated each year.
Register online for the 2014-15 PROFILE Application and then file the 2014-15 PROFILE Application online. The College Board website is http://student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile. Loyola University's CSS Code Number is 5370. See the CSS PROFILE Student Guide for more information on the PROFILE Application.
If you indicate on the CSS PROFILE Application that your parents are divorced, separated, or were never married, your non-custodial parent must complete the CSS Non-Custodial PROFILE. You will be sent an email which will contain a link and login instructions for the Non-Custodial PROFILE website. Forward this information to your noncustodial parent.
Complete the FAFSA online using your Federal Personal Identification Number (PIN). The FAFSA website is www.fafsa.ed.gov. Loyola University's FAFSA Code Number is 002078. If you have lost your PIN, or need to request a new PIN, you may do so by accessing the Federal PIN website at www.pin.ed.gov. The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet provides a preview of the questions that you may be asked while completing the FAFSA online.
(Students who did not file a FAFSA for the 2013-14 academic year.) Obtain a Federal Personal Identification Number (PIN) at the Federal PIN website, www.pin.ed.gov. Parents should also obtain a Federal PIN. Once created, the Federal PIN allows access to the applicant's data in several Federal Student Aid systems and also serves as that person's electronic signature. After receiving your Federal PIN, file the 2014-15 FAFSA online. The FAFSA website is www.fafsa.ed.gov. Loyola University's FAFSA Code Number is 002078. The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet provides a preview of the questions that you may be asked while completing the FAFSA online.
We strongly recommend that you and your parents complete and file your 2013 Federal Tax Return before completing the 2014-15 FAFSA. When completing the FAFSA, select the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to transfer tax return information to your application. This process will allow your FAFSA to be processed using accurate tax return information preventing the need for corrections at a later date.
If families are not eligible or ultimately choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to update the tax information, the U.S. Department of Education may require us to collect additional documentation, including a certified tax transcript that you would need to obtain from the IRS.
Students receiving financial aid which consists entirely of four-year renewable awards are not required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the PROFILE Application. These awards will be automatically renewed if the retention requirements have been met as outlined in your original award notification letter.
Complete the PROFILE online at http://student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile no later than April 15, 2014.
Complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov no later than April 15, 2014. Maryland residents must file the FAFSA by March 1, 2014 to be considered for Maryland State Grant Assistance.
It is extremely important that you and your parents adhere to the financial aid application filing deadlines listed above. The funds available through the federal campus-based student aid programs and Loyola's institutionally-funded need-based grant programs are limited. Therefore, if you do not meet the filing deadlines, you risk being placed on a financial aid waiting list.
Parents' and student's 2013 Federal Tax Return information must be submitted to the College Board by April 15, 2014. Learn the procedures for submitting your tax return information via the College Board's IDOC service.
Federal verification is a process required by the U.S. Department of Education to verify the accuracy of the information parents and students submit on the FAFSA. Learn more about federal verification.
Financial aid awards for enrolled students will be available for viewing via "WebAdvisor for Students" mid June 2014, after the verification process has been completed and cumulative grade point averages for the 2014-15 academic year are available.

South Bay- On August 21, 2009 Officers from Chula Vista, National City, Coronado, the City of San Diego, San Diego County, and the California Highway Patrol conducted a multi-agency DUI Saturation Patrol in the highway corridors of the south bay area. The operation was part of the DUI Prosecution and Awareness Program funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. During the operation, 3 drivers were arrested for driving under the influence and 5 vehicles were impounded for drivers being arrested and also for drivers without licenses.
This was considered a successful operation, both in number of impaired drivers removed from the street and in the amount of public awareness generated. The South Bay Regional law enforcement agencies will be continuing their efforts to keep drivers in our community safe.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
