Guess who came to dinner? Introducing...
Meet Boo, the newest member of our pack. We got him last week and I wanted to wait and be sure before I posted about him. He was listed as an aussie mix, which I don't think he is at ALLLLL. When his ears prick, he is totally dobie and so is his build - all legs and lean form.
He was named "Malibu" but we thought it was silly, and given his hate of jack-o-lanterns and halloweenish adoption, "Boo" seemed to fit.
Boo is a year and a half, and weighs 70 lbs. He's all legs right now and all puppy. He was left at the vet a year ago with a broken leg, and the vet office called a local shelter to take him after setting his leg. Ironic, its the same leg that Rusty and Mocha had trouble with. He is 70 lbs of un-mannered goofiness right now. But I can change that. He's very very sweet.
On close examination, Boo is quite obviously a dobie mix. He's very playful, full of energy, and very very inquisitive about everything. We brought him home at night, and he HATES jack-o-lanterns (he almost refused to walk by the leftover on our front porch), and he is pretty sure his own reflection needs to be put in its place. We all had a hearty laugh at his antics in front of an empty mirrored display case in our den.
Ginger is NOT sure what she thinks of him right now, except that everything and everyone is suddenly "hers" alone. She's 11 and been a tad territorial, but she was neutral in her first meeting at the shelter (we took her with us). Neutral when first meeting is just as good a sign as playful.
After the first week, she has decided at least I am hers, if not everything in the house. And she is starting to play with him some in the back yard. She's also stopped hoarding the food dishes and toys, and she's stopped halting him at the dog door. We've tried to remember that this is a big change for her too having lost all her pack this year (Gypsy, Mocha, and Rusty all 3).
Boo is being respectful of her age, but he is really a big goof with no manners. He's also extremely sweet-natured. We've already tested being able to take treats and bones away from him. He's also not chewing up things he shouldn't like shoes and such - yet.
The big surprise was how much my father-in-law fell for him. We think we way underestimated how much losing all 3 dogs this year made him feel his own immortality. He ADORES this dog. When we can't find Boo? He's in Dad's room. We have thought that perhaps we just got Dad another dog without realizing it. Apparently he adores him and its his new pal. That's ok though, because I truly feel that dogs always teach us something - and this time its generosity. We have to share Boo with dad.
He was at the shelter for about a year, and we took him for a vet exam. We apologized to the vet for his lack of manners, but they said he was a sweetie. He had a secondary infection from some flea bites, but he's thriving now.
Now if only Ginger will "come round" and embrace having a pack-mate to bark at the neighbors with. I think it will actually make her like him more - his ability to deter outsiders and protect the home (in her head anyways).
Our next thing is a training class to get him some socialization and manners.
Very cute dog! Any body shots? Congrats on your new addition, sounds like he's fitting in well so far and isn't training the fun part?! As long as you're focusing on manners, your neighbors would likely appreciate it if he taught Ginger not to bark at them :-)
Awwww, welcome home Boo!! He's a cutie! Sounds like Ginger is coming around slowly but surely. There have been some similarities in our house with the "last one in the pack" trying to readjust to a new buddy. Sam has desperately tried to get Tasha to play (he likes the run and chase game) and Tasha is just not into all that, but she is definitely coming around. LOL, she has never been a kennel dog and twice now I have caught her laying down in Sam's kennel when he is out hanging somewhere else.
I think that's great that your Dad has bonded with Boo as well and that ya'll are willing to share him.
Congrats on your new pack member!!!

Fed chair says budget cuts should come later, not now
- Staff Philadelphia Business Journal
Congress' timing is off when it comes to sequestration. That's according to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who gave his semiannual report on monetary policy to Congress Tuesday, but also shared his views on fiscal policy, The Business Journals reported.
Bernanke agrees that Congress needs to come up with a plan to address the federal government's debt crisis. Congress' failure to do so is why $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to kick in Friday.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin in the Hamptons
Gwyneth Paltrow Zips Through the Hamptons
Gwyneth Paltrow took her daughter, Apple Martin, out for a spin on her cool red Vespa during a coffee run in the Hamptons today. The mother-daughter duo chatted with a friend and her tot outside Jack's Coffee before scooting out of the parking lot with a bag of goodies. Gwyneth and her brood are currently vacationing in the Hamptons, but she made time to fit in a bit of work earlier this month when the actress attended Authors Night in East Hampton, NY, with husband Chris Martin and her two children. While at the book-focused event, Gwyneth signed copies of her latest cookbook, It's All Good, and mingled with friend and fellow Hamptons-lover Alec Baldwin.
While Gwyneth has been dividing her time between family coffee runs and promotional events, she did manage to squeeze in one Summer tradition — the bikini Instagram photo. Gwyneth's pal Stella McCartney posted a photo of the actress jumping for joy in a bikini on her social media account last week, writing, "Sexy lady in Stella swimwear! Summer never stop!"

US 3325234 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) June 13, 1967 o. LEWIN 3,325,234 CABINET Filed July 19, 1965 F a M 5/36 INVENTOR OTTO LEWIN ail J/M ATTORNEY United States Patent Chico 3,325,234 Patented June 13, 1967 3,325,234 CABINET Otto Lewin, York, Pa., assignor to Cole Steel Equipment Co., Inc., New York, N.Y., a corporation of NewYork Filed July 19, 1965, Ser. No. 473,057 16 Claims. (Cl. 312--219) This invention relates to cabinets and more particularly to a locking arrangement for multipledrawer cabinets. Multiple-drawer cabinets, such as those commonly used for filing or as pedestals for desks, are sometimes constructed with mechanism to lock the drawers thereof against being opened by unauthorized personnel, and are sometimes constructed without any form of locking mechanism whatsoever. A very efiicient and commonly used form of locking mechanism incorporates a bar or slide disposed for rectilinear sliding movement, along either the side or back of the cabinet, in response to the actuation of a key controlled lock slideably disposed in the cabinet and interconnected with the bar or slide by suitable connecting means. The bar in turn coacts with stops provided on each drawer of the cabinet. When a locking mechanism is incorporated in a multiple drawer cabinet it will usually affect the price thereof. Therefore, a purchaser who does not require a cabinet that locks, to save money, will purchase a cabinet which does not incorporate locking structure. The manufacturers, distributors, and dealers must therefore provide and stock multiple-drawer cabinets not only in many sizes and shapes for many purposes, but also with and without looking mechanisms. If the purchaser knows in advance Whether he requires a lockable cabinet he can place his order with his dealer, Who can then place it with the manufacturer, and the cabinet appropriately constructed. However, quite often, either the purchaser does not foresee the need for locking mechanism in the cabinet, or the dealer does not have stock on uch a cabinet and must make an immediate delivery. It has therefore become common practice to field install locking mechanisms in file cabinets by securing stops to the drawers thereof, positioning a lock and actuator therewithin, and locating a locking bar in the cabinet for coaction with the drawer stops. Field installation of the drawer stops is most always difficult, and so they are quite often provided on all drawers whether needed or not; with the manufacturer either taking the loss or passing it on to the purchaser when such stops are not needed. Field installation'of the locking bar has however presented many problems. The internal construction of the cabinet almost always prevents the ready insertion of a bar of the length that the locking bar must be. Such locking bars must therefore either be provided in the cabinet whether needed or not, in which case the manufacturer must take a loss thereon or pass on the additional charge to the customer, or the cabinet must be somehow mutilated by opening either the bottom, top or side thereof to permit installation of the locking bar. It is therefore an object of this invention an improved cabinet. It is a further object to mechanism for a multiple to provide provide an improved locking drawer cabinet. A still further object is to provide a locking mechanism which can be efficiently field installed in a multiple drawer cabinet. Another object is to provide a locking mechanism which can be field installed in a multiple drawer cabinet without mutilation of any part of the cabinet, and which is easily adaptable for use with cabinets having different numbers of drawers. This invention involves multiple drawer cabinets of the type used for filing and of the type used as pedestals for desks, wherein a locking bar is mounted closely adjacent one of the inner walls of the cabinet for longitudinal rectilinear movement between a position coacting with stops provided on the drawers to prevent movement of the drawers from within the confines of the cabinet and a position removed from the path of movement of the drawer stops to permit movement of the drawers from within the confines of the cabinet, such longitudinal rectilinear movement of the locking bar in turn being effected by linear movement of a rotary barrel type lock between an unlocked position and a locked position through intermediary of a member interconnecting the lock and locking bar and adapted to transmit the linear motion of the lock to the locking bar; and contemplates providing drawer stops, a lock, a connecting member, and a locking bar which can be field installed in a cabinet not provided with such mechanism in an efficient manner, with a minimum of effort and cost, and without mutilation of the cabinet. In carrying out the invention, according to preferred embodiment thereof, the cabinet itself has formed therein during the fabrication thereof, structure for receiving a lock and for guiding the movement thereof, and for receiving a connector-actuator which interconnects the lock and the locking bar; while the drawers are formed to receive locking stops. The lock and connector-actuator are adapted for ready insertion into the file cabinet without the use of special tools and without the use of the intermediate connecting mean such as screws, bolts, nuts, welding, etc. and when inserted in the file cabinet, for ready interconnecting one with the other; while the locking bar is formed in several sections adapted to be easily disposed in guide means provided in the cabinet and once so disposed readily interconnected by simple and efiicient connecting means. The locking stops and drawer structure for receiving same are constructed such that the locking stops may be installed on the drawer without the use of intermediate connecting means (such as bolts, screws, nuts, welding or riveting) and once so installed so that they cannot be easily removed. Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention in its details of construction and arrangement of parts, will be seen from the above, from the following description of the preferred embodiment when considered in conjunction with the drawings, and from the appended claims. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multiple drawer file cabinet cut away in part to better show the details of a locking mechanism therefor embodying the present invention; FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view of a section of the locking bar of FIG. 1; 7 FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the enlarged fragmentary showing of the locking bar of FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 2; FIG. 5 is an exploded and enlarged fragmentary perspective view, in partial section of the locking stop of FIG. 1; FIG. 61s a sectional view taken on line 6-6 of FIG. 1; and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken on line 7-7 of FIG. 2. For convenience the invention will be described as applied to a multiple drawer cabinet of the type commonly used for the filing of papers, documents, and the like, and usually referred to as a file cabinet; it being understood nevertheless that without departing from the scope of this invention that subject locking mechanism may be applied to a multiple drawer cabinet of the type used as a pedestal for a desk or table, or to any other cabinet wherein there are one or more drawers movable from a position within the confines of the cabinet to a position exposed from the confines of the cabinet, and which are to be provided with a locking mechanism to secure such drawers against movement by unauthoried personnel to said position exposed from the confiines of the cabinet. With reference to FIG. 1 there is shown generally at 10 a file cabinet of the kind commonly used for the purpose of storing papers, reports, and the like and consisting of a casing 12 formed with a top wall 14, a rear wall 16, a right-side wall 18, a left-side wall 20, and front frame 22, and within which are slideably disposed drawers 30, each including a front panel 32 supporting a drawer handle 34 and supported by a drawer body 36. Suspension mechanism 40 (FIG. 1) is disposed within casing 12 to support each drawer 30 for movement between a position wherein front panels 32 of drawers 30 are in the same plane as front frame 22 of casing 12, to thus prevent access to whatever is stored in drawer bodies 36, and a position wherein front panels 32 are removed from the plane of front frame 22 to permit access to whatever is disposed within drawer bodies 36. A pair of guides 50 (FIGS. 1, 5 and 6) and 52 (FIGS. 1 and 5) are formed on the side of each drawer body 36 so as to provide guide channels 54 and 56 and lanced projections 58 (FIGS. 1, 5 and 6) and 60 (FIG. 5) re- 'spectively. A pair of legs 70 (FIGS. 1, 5 and 6) and 72 (FIG. 5), adapted for disposition respectively in guide channels 54 and 56, and carried by a locking stop 74 are each formed with a bent over tab, 76 and 78 respectively, at one end thereof, and with an aperture, 80 and 82 respectively adapted to receive lanced projections 58 and 60 respectively. To install locking stop 74 on drawer 30 one need only align the bent over tabs 76 and 78 with guide channels 54 and 56 respectively and then apply pressure against locking stop 74 to move same in the direction of arrow A (FIG. 5) until locking stop 74 is seated as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6. When so seated the lanced projections 58 and 60 will be disposed in apertures 80 and 82 (FIG. 6) and locking stop 74 will be secured to drawer body 36 in position for coaction with a locking ear 90 carried by a locking bar 92 suitably disposed in casing 12 for longitudinal sliding movement in the directions of arrows B and C (FIG. 1) and guided in such movement by a plurality of spaced guides 96 (only once shown in FIG. 1) formed with openings 98 and suitably secured in casing 12; it being understood that there is a locking ear 90 and a locking stop 74 for each drawer '30 of cabinet 10. Locking bar 92 is assembled from a plurality of intermediate bars 100a and 10% each formed with an aperture, 102a (FIG. 1) and 102b (FIGS. 1 and 2) respectively disposed near the upper ends thereof, and an embossment, 104a (FIGS. 1 and 2) and 1041) (FIG. 1) respectively formed near the lower ends thereof and adapted for disposition in apertures 102a, 102b respectively; a lower bar 106 (FIG. 1) formed with an aperture 108 adapted to receive embossment 10411 of intermediate bar 10%; and an upper bar 110 formed with embossment 112 adapted to be disposed in aperture 102a of intermediate bar 100a. An upper securing hole 116a (FIG. 1) and 116b (FIGS. 4 and 7) is formed in intermediate bars 100a and 10Gb respectively while an upper securing hole 118 is formed in a lower bar 106. A pair of lower securing holes 120 (FIG. 4) are formed in intermediate bar 100a while similar pairs of lower securing holes (not shown) are formed in intermediate bar 10% and upper bar 110. A pair of spring legs 132 (FIGS. 2 and 7) and 134 struck from spring clip so as to be normally urged apart from each other, are adapted to be squeezed together and moved through aligned lower securing hole 120 of intermediate bar 100a and upper securing hole 116b of intermediate bar 1001) and to then spread apart to provide the interconnection for intermediate bars 100a and 10012 to each other. In the same manner, spring legs 132 and 134 of another spring clip 130 are disposed in lower securing hole 120 of intermediate bar 10% and upper securing hole 118 of lower bar 106, as well as in lower securing hole 120 of upper bar 110 and upper securing hole 116a of intermediate bar 100a to provide the interconnection for intermediate bar 1001: and lower bar 106 and for intermediate bar 100a and upper bar 110 respectively. p A necked down portion (FIG. 1) is formed on intermediate bars 100a and 100b, upper bar 110, and lower bar 106 to facilitate the disposition of such bars in guide slots 98 of guides 96. A ri'b 152 (FIG. 1) is formed integral with and extending from locking bar 92 to form therewith a guide slot or channel 154 and a shelf 156 for coaction with an arm 162 of a connector-actuator 164 fulcrumed by forked legs 166 on a fulcrum lug 172 struck from an inner support wall 174 fixedly secured to right side wall 18 and front frame 22 of casing 12. A slot 176 is formed in inner support wall 174 to facilitate the disposition of arm 162 of connector-actuator 164. A substantially conventional key-controlled rotary barrel lock 180 is mounting for sliding movement in the direction of arrows D and E in a lock mounting channel (not shown) formed also in inner support wall 174, and is pivotally connected, as at fulcrum 182, to connectoractuator 164. A plurality of lugs 186 (FIG. 1) extend out from connector-actuator 164 to space same from the inner surface of side wall 18 of casing 12. An anchor lug 188, also formed on connector-actuator 164, receives one end of an actuator spring 190 the other end of which is anchored to inner support wall 174 as at 192. Spring 190 normally urges connector-actuator 164 in the counterclockwise direction (FIG. 1) about fulcrum lug 172 urging, through arm 162 of connector-actuator 164 and shelf 156 of locking bar 92, locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow C; and, through pivotal connection 182 of connector-actuator 164 and lock 180, lock 180 in the direction of arrow E. A spring 200 having one end thereof anchored to a lug 202 disposed on lower bar 106 and the other end thereof secured within casing 12 urges assembled locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow B to maintain shoulder 156 of upper bar 110 in engagement with arm 162 of connector-actuator 164. To install a locking mechanism (FIG. 1) in a cabinet 12 not equipped with such mechanism but provided with fulcrum lug 172, a channel for mounting lock 180, and guides 96, one first installs lock 180' in it's guide channel by providing a suitable aperture in front panel 22 by either cutting the metal away, or if front panel 22 is provided with a knock-out plug, removing such knockout plug. With drawer 30 removed, the installation of connector-actuator 164 is accomplished by sliding spaced forked legs 166 thereof through slot 176 of inner support wall 174, positioning legs 166 on fulcrum 172, and pivot-' ally interconnecting connector-actuator 164 to lock 180 through the intermediary of fulcrum 182. Connector-actuator 164 is then held in engagement with fulcrum 182 of lock 180 so as to move lock 180 in the direction of arrow E, to its unlocked position, and one end of spring 190 is anchored to inner support wall 174 as at 192 and the other end of spring 190 is disposed on anchor lug 188 of connectonactuator 164. Necked-down portion 140 of upper bar 110 is then maneuvered into opening 98 of its guide 96 and shoulder 156 of upper bar 110 disposed on arm 162 of connector-actuator 164. Intermediate bar 1000 is then installed by maneuvering necked-down portion 140 thereof into its opening 98 of its respective guide 96, inserting embossment 112 of upper bar 110' into aperture 102a of intermediate bar 100a, aligning upper securing hole 116a of intermediate bar 100:; wit-h one of the lower securing holes 120 of upper bar 110, and then pushing legs 132 and 134 of spring clip 130 into aligned holes 116a and 120 until spring clip 130 seats therein to interconnect upper bar 110 and intermediate bar 100a. Neckeddown portion 140 of intermediate bar 1001) is next maneuvered through opening 98 of its respective guide 96 and aperture 10212 thereof disposed over em'bossment 104a of intermediate bar 100a. Upper securing hole 116!) of intermediate bar is then aligned with lower securing hole 120 of intermediate bar 100a and legs 132 and 134 of spring clip 130 inserted therethrough to secure intermediate bar 1011b to the assembled intermediate bar 100a and upper bar 110. Lower bar 106 is then installed by placing aperture 108 thereof over embossment 104b of intermediate bar 100b, aligning upper securing hole 118 thereof with lower securing 'hole 120 of intermediate bar 100b, and inserting legs 132 and 134 of spring clip 130 through aligned upper hole 118 of lower bar 106 and lower securing hole 120 of intermediate bar 10%. Spring 200 is thereafter anchored to lug 202 of lower bar 106 and to casing 12 urging assembled locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow B and shelf 156 of bar 92 into engagement with arm 162 of connector-actuator 164. Movement of lock 180 in the direction of arrow D, through its pivotal connection 182 with connector-actuator 164, results in a clockwise rotation (FIG. 1) of conhector-actuator 164 about fulcrum lug 172 and against the action of spring 190, moving arm 162 of connectoractuator 164 away from shelf 156 of assembled locking bar 92 and permitting movement of locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow B under bias spring 200 and/or gravity. Conventional structure is provided with lock 180 to secure same in a locked condition (FIG. 1) upon movement of lock 180 to its fullest extent in the direction of arrow D. Such securing structure is released through the use of a suitable key and when so released the action of spring 190 upon connector-actuator 164, urging same in the counterclockwise direction (FIG. 1) about fulcrum lug 172, and the resultant action of connector-actuator 164 upon lock 180, through the intermediary of pivot 182, moves lock 180 in the direction of arrow B from its locked condition to its unlocked condition. counterclockwise rotation of connector-actuator 164, through the coaction of arm 162 thereof with shelf 156 of locking bar 92, also moves locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow C against gravity and/or the action of spring 200 to re- "move locking ears -90 of locking bar 92'from the path of movement of locking stops 74 of drawers 30. Stops 74 are installed on drawer bodies 36 as previously described by inserting legs 70 and 72 thereof into guide channels 54 and 56 respectively until lanced projections 5'8 and 60 of guides 50 and 52 are lodged in apertures 80 and 82 respectively. Drawers 30 are then reinstalled in casing 12 with locking ears 90 of locking bar 92 out of the path of movement thereof. The locking of cabinet 10 is thereafter accomplished by moving lock 180 in the direction of arrow D and the subsequent movement of locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow B to place locking ears thereof in the paths of movement of locking stops 74; while the release of drawers 30 is accomplished 'by the unlocking of lock 180 and the movement thereof, in the direction of arrow E, and of locking bar 92 in the direction of arrow C. The bars 110, 106, a and 1001) are formed so that only upper bar and lower bar 106 are required for use with a conventional two-drawer file cabinet. While for each additional drawer provided in the cabinet one intermediate bar 100 is inserted therebetween. The pair of lower securing holes are provided to permit installation of a locking bar 90 in a cabinet 10 with a different spacing between its drawers 30; it being understood that any number of such holes or even a slot may be provided for such function if desired. The various bars of locking bar 92 may of course be interconnected through the use of means other than spring clips (such as bolts, rivets, etc.) if so desired, and locking stops 74 may either be inserted in guides 50 and 52 from the bottom as shown in the figures, from the top, or they may be permanently provided on the drawers if so desired. In addition it should of course be obvious that While locking bar 92 has been shown formed with a rib 152 and with a shelf 156 that hangs upon an arm 162 of connector-actuator 164 that locking bar 92 may be pivotally interconnected with connector-actuator 16 by other appropriate means (such as a rivet, bolt, or spring clip), and that the locking mechanism hereof is easily adapted for use with other types of locks and actuators and for disposition along either the side walls front wall, or rear wall of casing 12. From the above description it will thus be seen that a novel and improved locking mechanism has been provided for a multiple drawer cabinet, which permits manufacture of a cabinet with lock receiving structure (lock guide, fulcrum lug, locking bar guides, locking stop guides, etc.) which, although minimal, inexpensive, and casting little if any burden upon the manufacturer and therefore the purchaser, readily and eificiently receive a locking mechanism without mutilation of the cabinet (except possibly to provide an aperture for the lock), because the locking bar is formed in sections which can be easily maneuvered into position within the cabinet and then interconnected to form a unitary locking bar, and be cause the locking stops can be securely attached in proper position on the drawers.

AARP Helps Seniors Find Jobs
If you're over 55 and having trouble finding a job, there is one place that can help. AARP's Senior Employment Program served more than 16-thousand people last year.
A bill making it easier for schools, camps and coaches to stock general-use supplies of epinephrine shots used to counter allergic reactions has cleared its second legislative chamber.
The Senate voted unanimously on the measure Tuesday, as the House did in November. A Senate-added emergency clause sends the bill back to the House.
Sen. Peggy Lehner calls the bill potentially life-saving. It wouldn't force schools and others to stock epinephrine injectors, but would allow the practice by removing barriers such as cost.
Currently, parents who know their child has allergies can send epinephrine with their child to school. But it's illegal for school nurses to dispense doses to anyone else who might have an allergic reaction at school.
The bill outlines training requirements and liability protections for authorized employees.

It's now or never for Jets' Slater
NHL vets ramping up workouts for possible start of regular season
It could have been the subject of a dandy coffee-table book or possibly be turned into one of those HBO 24/7 series.
And it would have been riveting, either way.
You see, Jim Slater hasn't exactly sat on his thumbs during the 109-day National Hockey League lockout.
Thanks to the ongoing labour battle, the Winnipeg Jet centre -- among other things -- spent the holidays in his hometown of Lapeer, Mich., for the first time in eons. He took his folks to see the polar bears in Churchill. He visited Yellowknife and watched his alma mater, Michigan State, at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
He did the weather on CTV one night, played street hockey on the top level of a parkade at The Forks and attended the Canadian Football Hall of Fame induction dinner here in Winnipeg.
Most of his days, however, were spent trying to keep his skills sharp with a handful of NHLers at the MTS Iceplex or at the Focus Fitness gym on site. Wednesday was no different, albeit with rumours circulating -- again -- that a deal may soon be close to save the season.
And as much as he's been able to keep himself entertained over the last little while, Slater, quite obviously, would love to see his lockout adventure come to a close.
"Hearing everything that we've got to play by January 19 or the season is going to be lost, this is the time where us guys here skating are going to ramp it up because if it doesn't happen now, then it looks like it won't happen," he said after an early morning session on the ice with would-be Jet teammates Toby Enstrom and Olli Jokinen, along with Colin Wilson of the Nashville Predators and Ryan Garbutt of the Dallas Stars. Alex Burmistrov was also spotted, but he did not skate.
"We're preparing just like how we have been. We're going to keep skating and working out every day and getting ready. Hopefully the word comes and it's a positive word and we can get something going here and get the season started.
"If it doesn't happen, we know we gave it our best to try and get ready and when that camp does start that we come in in the best shape and we can start the season right away."
Across the hockey map NHLers were taking a similar approach. There were numerous reports of players returning from Europe, including Maxime Talbot and Jason Spezza, in order to get ready for training camps. Should the talks follow the NHL's timeline -- and there's certainly no guarantee of that, despite the possible progress being made -- then camps would open on Jan. 12 with the regular season starting a week later.
The cynics will insist this has all been heard before, all to no resolution. And they're right. But Slater is a glass-is-half-full guy and what he is seeing this week from New York -- the back and forth of real negotiating -- has him hopeful.
"There was a while there where there were no talks and no scheduled talks," Slater said. "Obviously that frightens you a little bit. But now that they're in the room talking with counter-proposals a couple of times back and forth, agreeing on some topics... it's definitely a good thing."

I am a real estate professional with Luxhabitat (a high-end property brokerage firm) and hail from Britain. So does my wife Natalie Christodoulou who is the office manager for deNovo Corporate Advisors, based in Emirates Towers. Before moving to Dubai, we lived in Gidea Park, Essex in the UK. My family and I first visited Dubai in 2001. Over the next three years, we found ourselves returning up to four times a year. So in 2005 we decided to purchase what was meant to be a holiday home.

Paul Christodoulou: Location is everything
As both the buyer and seller of some prime homes, Paul Christodoulou's been in the thick of Dubai property activity

- "Palm villa living is fantastic. It feels like a permanent holiday," says Paul.
We looked at three developments in early 2005. They were: the Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Islands. Despite not being able to visit the island, we decided that for a long-term investment and lifestyle reasons a beachfront property was our first choice. After all, location is everything! That's how we ended up buying our villa on Frond D of the Palm.
I fell in love with the vibrance and architecture of Dubai on my first visit
Palm villa living is fantastic. It feels like a permanent holiday. Over the past four years, I have seen the development turn into a real community and in the last two years we have seen some good retail stores and restaurants open on the island. I hope this continues as this is the only issue that lets the island down. At the moment, life here is good. We will return to the UK if that changes.
In the initial stage, I considered Dubai property simply as a good return on investment. But now what I like about it is also the diverse range of properties available and their varied locations.
We purchased two properties in the Tiara Residences development on Palm Jumeirah. We sold both of these in June 2008. In the same year, we bought a large villa in Jumeirah Golf Estates (JGE). Sadly due to the economic crisis, the villa developments within JGE have never been completed. To this day, I have not received the keys. This whole experience has been very unpleasant. But there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel as the Investment Corporation of Dubai has committed funds to complete what should be a beautiful residential community. Our villa is now ready and we expect to receive the keys within the next 12 months.
I have recommended Dubai property to several friends. In fact one of our friends even joined us and purchased a villa on the Palm Jumeirah while another bought a villa in Al Barari.
As a cash buyer, I think the investment process here is simple enough but for those people who have a mortgage it seems a lot more complicated than in the UK.
Coming from the UK where your solicitor deals with the property transaction, it is very different in Dubai. I wouldn't say there was heaps of red-tape. It was definitely more time consuming than anything else but this was to be expected in what was, and still is, a relatively young real estate market.
It is very important that any potential buyer goes through a real estate company registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (Rera). Be specific about what you are looking for, find a good agent and deal with that person alone.

McCann: Northern Ireland have massive belief
Northern Ireland are in a familiar position this evening. Coming round the final bend of their qualification campaign, they have fought their way into a competitive position. To reach their first tournament since 1986, though, more is required, starting with a challenging game against Serbia at Windsor Park.
Two years ago it was Slovakia who came to Belfast. The visitors were top of the South Africa 2010 qualification group but Northern Ireland, who had only two games left, were just two points behind them. Nigel Worthington's men could not see it through, and Slovakia won 2-0. Northern Ireland finished in fourth place.
Now, Northern Ireland are in third place, one point ahead of the Serbs. On Tuesday they play in Estonia, before hosting the Baltic nation and travelling to Italy in October.
Grant McCann believes history is not about to repeat itself. "The difference this time is that there's a belief in the squad," said the Peterborough midfielder. "I think the last time we all said that we could do it, but maybe didn't really believe it. Now there is a massive belief in the squad. There's a massive belief that we can win on Friday and we're focused on that."
Sammy Clingan of Coventry City is similarly optimistic. "We've a really good chance to qualify this time," he said. "This is one of the biggest games that we're going to be involved in. We've four games left and I think we're in a good position."
Worthington has problems, though, as striker Kyle Lafferty and winger Pat McCourt are both doubts with calf injuries. McCourt scored two excellent goals in the 4-0 defeat of Faroe Islands last month.
Wales's fixture tonight against Montenegro at the Cardiff City Stadium does not have quite as much riding on it. With no points from their four matches so far in Group G, Gary Speed's team is playing for little more than pride.
"We owe the fans one," goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey said. "It's been tough for them and we're grateful so many have stuck by us, but now we want to show them that we can produce for them. We need a bit of luck and we haven't had much recently, but hopefully we can turn the tables because we've been doing everything right in training."
England fans will certainly be cheering the Welsh on tonight, though, with Montenegro fighting hard to pip Fabio Capello's side and win the qualifying group.
Euro hopes: How things stand in the other groups
Group A
Germany will win the group if they beat Austria tonight, leaving Belgium and Turkey to compete for the play-off spot.
Group C
Italy can secure at least a play-off spot if they win in the Faroes and either Serbia win or Slovenia fail to win.
Group D
France lead Belarus by a point with a game in hand and head to Albania tonight. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania and Albania are also in contention.
Group E
The Netherlands are three points clear of Sweden, while Hungary also retain hope of a play-off position.
Group F
Greece are a point ahead of Croatia and Israel, and travel to the latter tonight.
Group H
Portugal, Norway and Denmark are locked together on 10 points at the top.
Group I
Czech Republic can cut Spain's lead to three points if they beat Scotland tomorrow.

Nadal sets up all Spanish tie in US Open
Rafael Nadal will not be the sole focus of Spanish eyes for once, but the world number one is more than happy to share the spotlight at the US Open.
Nadal beat France's Gilles Simon 6-4 6-4 6-2 in the third round at Flushing Meadows to ensure at least one Spanish player will be in the semi-finals in New York.
That is because the top seed will face compatriot Feliciano Lopez in the fourth round, with the winner of that match taking on either David Ferrer or Fernando Verdasco in the quarter-finals.
"That is positive news for us, very positive, because I think with the ball and the court here it is probably the most difficult tournament for us," Nadal said. "I congratulate my friends. Best of luck for everybody."
As for his own form, which has seen him win all three matches in straight sets, Nadal added: "I think I am playing better, a little bit better, every day.
"Today was a solid match, I think. The serve is still good, so that's a very important thing. From the baseline I think my movements and my shots start to improve to be better every day."
A record nine Spanish players had reached the third round, with six now through to the fourth after wins for Nadal, Lopez, Ferrer, Verdasco and Tommy Robredo on Sunday, while Albert Montanes won on Saturday.
Ferrer advanced to the last 16 at Flushing Meadows for just the second time in his career with a comfortable 7-6 (7/2) 6-2 6-2 win over yet another Spaniard, Daniel Gimeno-Traver.
The last time Ferrer reached the fourth round in New York was in 2007, when he beat Nadal on his way to the semi-finals, which remains his best result in a Grand Slam.
Lopez was leading 6-3 4-0 against Sergiy Stakhovsky when the Ukrainian was forced to retire hurt from their third-round clash, while Robredo also benefited from a retirement, the Spaniard leading two sets to one and 2-1 in the fourth when France's Michael Llodra retired through injury.
Robredo will face Russian 12th seed Mikhail Youzhny in the fourth round, after he eliminated American 18th seed John Isner 6-4 6-7 7-6 6-4 in the evening session.
The only disappointment for Spain came when 14th seed Nicolas Almagro lost in straight sets to American Sam Querrey, who will face Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka in the last 16.
Wawrinka knocked out fourth seed Andy Murray in four sets in a match featuring 13 breaks of serve and almost as many breaks in play for medical treatment to both players.
"I think at the end of the first set I was playing a little bit too defensive," Wawrinka said.
"That's what I started to change in the second and third and fourth sets, to stay aggressive, even if he's coming, even if he's putting a lot of pressure.
"But I have the feeling he was a little bit injured, he was not feeling okay, so I was trying to stay aggressive and to make him run a lot, and I think I did pretty well."

Working in a Wolof village in Senegal and the Gambia, some team members met a young mother of twin girls. At the time, the girls were a little over 1 years old; and one of the girls was not able to walk or crawl. She was tiny—a lot smaller than she should have been for her age. A volunteer team showed the mother how to mix a formula so the baby could get stronger. Later they sent liquid vitamins for the child too.
Today the little girl is able to walk and play with her sister and other village children. You would never know how small and sickly this child had been just a year ago. The volunteers and team members have told the villagers how they have prayed for the child in the name of Jesus. Jesus heard and answered their prayer and helped this little girl (Matthew 19:14-15). To God be the glory.

It's In the Name - Seigerson siblings and Jogan
FollowHi everyone. I'm in a bit of a bad mood, so I apologize if this ficlet reflects that.
This takes place in the middle of chapter eighteen, Jumping Hurdles, after Logan talks to Kurt's parents and somehow escapes the wrath of the Tweedles.
At Dalton, they have Alice.
At Seigerson manor, however, they have Dorothy.
After Derek braids her hair, and she puts on her favorite blue dress and her newly polished shoes, Amanda turns to the trio sitting comfortably on her large bed, and grins brightly at them. "Today, we're playing pretend," she explains carefully. "We'll all be characters from the Wizard of Oz!" she continues, as she remembers the movie she and her brother watched the night before. "Got it?"
"Got it," Derek replies, smiling warmly at her. He pointedly looks at his friends before they too, mumble their affirmation.
"Great!" the little girl replies excitedly, clasping her hands together. "I'll be Dorothy," she continues, with a quick twirl. "And you guys get to be my friends! Now hold on, I'll go get your costumes!"
She gives them two thumbs up before she excitedly runs off.
Once Amanda's out of the room, Logan glares at Derek. "You've got to be kidding me."
"What?" the brunette asks him, innocently.
"When Jules said that we should all hang out," Logan explains, exasperated. "I don't think he meant that we'd have to baby sit your little sister with you!" He groans then rubs his temples, while Julian laughs from his place beside Derek.
"No need to sound so sour, Lo," he says, smirking. "I'm sure you'll look lovely in whatever dress Amanda has for you."
A Jogan and Seigerson Sibling ficlet.
"Bear, I'm bored" Amanda declared as she entered the room and climbed up the bed. "Panda" Derek sighed and put down the book. "What were you doing before you got bored?" Derek asked as he helped her climb the bed.
"Cindy got married' she said lifting up her Barbie doll "And now I don't know what to do." Amanda continued as she settled down the doll, she had brought along with her.
"Well you could always marry Yoyo and Juju Bear "Derek grinned wickedly
This caught the concern of the two other people in the room.
"Any guy would be lucky to have me as his husband" Julian said absently as he checked his twitter while Logan read.
This statement was followed by the most awkward – in case of Julian and Hilarious –in case of Derek, pause ever.
"What?!" Logan asked as Julian tried to school his features. Julian's actions in the past few weeks had been perplexing Logan. While he didn't have a clear idea what exactly was worrying Julian, this statement sort off made it known, and for some reason this gave him hope. Maybe - just maybe-.
"Girl.I mean Girl." shouted Julian as Derek tried and failed to control his laughter and Logan looked at the two of them, suspicious. So Derek knew too.
"But there are no girls here" cried Amanda "Yoyo, You have to marry Juju." she declared and climbed down and walked towards them.
"Absolutely "Logan said and put down the book. It was now or never, he realised. When it was just the three of them, when their guards were down, he would not get an opportunity like this again. He stood up and walked towards Julian and raised out his hand.
Julian was stunned; He couldn't believe what was happening. Oh my god his inner monologue started I cant believe I said it out loud but he doesn't seem surprised, he thought as he chanced a look at Logan and saw smiling him for some reason.
His eyes met Derek. Derek too was surprised at the recent turn of events even more so when Logan replied to Amanda.
Julian started to panic after he heard Logan. Oh my god and he doesn't mind and he- His monologue stopped as he realised that Logan was standing in front of him with his hand stretched out.
He glanced up at Logan, afraid of what he would find.
Instead he found happiness, friendship, understanding and something which even looked like love and he stretched out his hand and allowed Logan to pull him up.
"I do" he whispered as he met Logan's understanding loving eyes. "I do too" Logan replied as he lifted Julian fingers up to his lips.
"Very good "Amanda declared, as she stood between them. " But Yoyo, Juju, the wedding has not yet started".
"Believe me Amanda" Derek said as he reached his sister. "For them it has."
I actually wrote this ages ago but didn't post it up so… I sort of forgot about it until now. Oh well.
What this is about: Derek creates Jogan Sims, thinking that it wouldn't be as bad as the real-life version. Little did he know.
Ram Country
(Stuart Trio & Amanda) - Little spitfire Amanda takes on the paps.
His date for afternoon tea kneels in her chair, slurping her tepid tea from the pretty china. Her star shaped sunnies also perched on her head. She toys with the menagerie of little plastic animals spread out on the table before them. Julian watches as she pours some tea into a saucer and arranges her animals around it.
"Amanda, what are you doing?"
"They're thirsty." She dips the camel's muzzle into the tea.
There was this splendid year when Mandy insisted on being a cowgirl and big brother had to match. Every girl down the street SWOONED at the sight of cute cowgirl Mandy being carried by a really handsome cowboy of a brother.
"Sonic meet Panda" said Julian taking Amanda's hand and bringing it to the Hedgehog
"Dont worry Sweetie, he wont do any thing to you" said Julian to the frightened little girl
"Yeah but be careful he bites" quipped Logan as he stood next to them watching
"That's only because you're a dick—-"
"Language" called out Derek as Amanda looked up and asked "Whats a -"
"Nothin ..nothing "Julian replied hastily before Derek could scream again, "Now do you want meet Sonic or not?"
my favorite characters {6/∞}: Amanda Seigerson
warblerland fact:
She says that if Logan and Julian ever get married, she wants to be the flower girl.
Part One
When they break up, it's messy.
The last couple months of their relationship were composed of nothing but snide remarks, arguments that went on for days, and pieces of furniture that were thrown across the room.
By the end of it all, both parties can't stand even the thought of being in the same city together, much less the same apartment. So Logan quickly packs up his things and hops on the next flight to New York, without as much as a goodbye. Julian, on the other hand, decides to stay in Los Angeles to continue shooting for his new movie.
"I'm really sorry, J," Clark says over the phone, one afternoon. He just finished wrapping up a movie of his own, and was vacationing in Hawaii. "You know I could always fly back there and see you."
"Don't you dare," Julian replies threateningly. He's lying lazily on his couch, dressed in khaki shorts and an old t-shirt, and he stifles a yawn before he continues. "You've wanted to go to Hawaii for ages. You deserve some time off."
"But you shouldn't be alone," the pop star continues, his voice drowning in concern.
Julian almost rolls his eyes. "Why the hell not? I'm twenty two, Clark. I can take care of myself."
"You know that's not what I mean," Clark replies firmly. Fact is, the pop star's one of the few people that Julian confided in about his history with Logan. And that unfortunately includes those three miserable years Julian spent pining after him, before the blonde finally opened his eyes and stopped being such an ignorant little prick.
But Julian's in no mood to bring that up now—or ever again—so he shrugs it off. "Whatever, man."
"You can't possibly enjoy having an apartment to yourself after you've been with someone for almost five years," Clark insists.
And the truth is, he doesn't. Julian thinks that his new apartment is too big, too empty, the walls are too bare, and if he has to spend one more night there alone, he's pretty sure that he's going to pull all his hair out.
But he's not going to tell Clark that. "It's quite refreshing, actually."
"Julian!" Clark cries desperately.
"You have to stop worrying, Clark," the brunette says, exasperated. "Go have a piña colada or something. I'll talk to you soon."
Julian ends the call, then thoughtlessly tosses his phone behind him.
Julian! Julian! Larson! -
Fans scream from behind the barricades. Camera's flash incessantly. Media correspondents scramble for his attention.
Julian smiles his usual Hollywood smile and waves to the fans. A little brunette walks next to him holding this hand. It's the New York premier to his latest movie. Granted, its an animated movie that he lent his voice and anthropomorphological likeness to. The critics have billed it as the next Nemo in writing and cinematography.
He doesn't stop to sign autographs tonight, walking straight towards the entrance. Amanda eyes the crowd a little warily, especially after the incident a few weeks ago. She's in a purple satin dress with a gold sash that she picked out herself. Her hair is half up, the rest of it falls in ringlets down her back. She's the perfect little girl, except for the plastic elephant that she's carrying with her.
Julian does make one concession to the media though as he stops by the E! correspondent section. Questions about the movie, what it was like playing the character, blah, blah, the usual. Julian replies with his usual witty charm.
Inevitably the line of questions shifts to his date. Amanda decides the towering pretty lady is OK, and is amicable to answering her questions.
"Who's this little princess? Are you Julian's date?" The lady asks. Amanda smiles. Silly lady. Amanda mentally scoffs. You have to kiss your dates. On the mouth; like Derek does. So she can't possibly be Julian's date.
"No I'm not! You have to kiss your dates!" Amanda corrects her. "Is that so? So Julian won't be getting a kiss tonight?" The lady teases.
"Of course he will. Logan will kiss him." Duh! Amanda's starting think this lady is pretty dumb. There's two seconds of dumbfounded interjection from the woman. Something along the lines of "Uuuhh…". Though she recovers relatively smoothly.
"Who's Logan??" The lady all but blurts out.
Amanda turns around to the tall blond boy standing behind her and Julian. She tugs him forward and shows him off proudly. "This is Logan!" He's dressed impeccably as usual. Smart casual in dark jeans, striped button down shirt and a white jacket over it. Logan who wasn't paying attention just nods and smiles politely to the cameras, a little confused as to why all the attention was suddenly on him.
Microphones and cameras get shoved in his face. Logan scratches his right ear with his left hand. His discomfort showing. "How long have you been going out??!" the correspondent probes excitedly, though the tone is teasing (in case she's wrong, so she doesn't look like a fool).
Logan's eyes go as wide as saucers. But before he can say anything, Julian laughs casually; playing it cool even though technically he's just been inadvertently outed by a six year old. "Kids say the darnest things!" He laughs into the camera.
"Really?! Cos she sounds pretty sure there." She teases back.
Suddenly another pretty brunette jumps into the picture, hanging on to Julian flirtatiously. "Of course! I'm his date!" She obnoxiously declares to everyone.
"No way! He said -I- was his date!" Another brunette appears, this one much more masculine.
Logan finally catches on. "Hang on. I asked him out first!" Logan adds his voice to the group.
"Get in line!" Derek reprimands. Casey swats him on the arm," YOU get in line!" "As if! He told me I was first!" comes Logan's rebuttal. And on it went; the three of them fighting over Julian in front of the camera's.
The E! correspondent doesn't know what to make of it. Perhaps it's not the scoop she was hoping for, but at least it makes for a good clip later on.
Julian just shrugs, looking into the camera and raising his eyebrows conspiratorially. He picks up Amanda and stage creeps away from the bickering trio as if to escape while they are occupied; and blows a kiss to the camera before sauntering away.
As they enter the doors to the theater, a very confused and incredulous Amanda asks, "You never kiss Derek and Casey on the lips. Do you??" Oh boy did her head hurt. She'll never understand teenagers.
"No. No I most definitely do NOT." Julian replies, kissing her on the cheek.

Moments of a summer in the Hamptons - Stuart Trio with Amanda
Imagine Derek playing peekaboo and reading stories to baby!Mandy.
Also imagine Derek poking baby!Mandy's nose and Mandy giggling because of that.
And imagine Derek tickling baby!Mandy.
Basically imagine Derek with baby!Mandy.
Four times Logan and Julian kiss, and one time they don't.
Because I am deluded and I want to believe that those two have kissed more often than they let on.
Rather embarrassingly, Logan trips on his feet on the way back from the bathroom. He scrapes his elbow, and manages to get a little blood on his crisp white shirt.
"Stupid shoes," he grumbles, blaming his fall on the leather-old-man-shoes that his Mommy made him wear.
"You need some help?" someone asks worriedly.
When Logan looks up, he sees the dark-haired boy he was painting with earlier. The one who almost got paint on his paper, and who couldn't draw hearts until he showed him.
(Stuart Trio & Amanda, Jogan)
Julian and Amanda bonding. Derek's responsible. Logan finds out something.
He's rooted to the spot thankful for the shopping cart he's leaning on. Then it hits him like a ton of bricks and all he can do is stare stupidly ahead, not really seeing. Minutes later, when he finally gets over the shock, …. he's left with one. single. epiphany.
I found this on weebly when I was scrolling around Amanda Seigersons little page and read through the facts:
Amanda brought lollipops to the hospital in hopes she could share them with Julian. She ended up sharing with Derek and Logan.
And I had to write it.
Senator Wright and Ernest Seigerson shuffle Logan and Derek into one room the moment the doctors allow it, it eases their worry and makes it easier to keep an eye on them, both boys don`t complain about it, on the contrary, their terrible worry about each others well being lessens a bit, when they see each other for the first time since the ambulances arrived at Dalton.
…when Julian discusses your love personal life with your baby sister.
1. We've been "dating" on and off for three weeks, but she's only been my girlfriend for like two days.
2. No, I am not in love with her. Christ.
3. Amanda, you'll like her. She's different from the others. She's…real.
listentotherush answered: putting up the christmas tree, derian?
Julian can't remember the last time he decorated a Christmas tree.
A huge tree would be delivered to his mother's house every year, sure, but he's never around to catch more than a glimpse of it, let alone decorate it. Even when his parents were together, his father had been busy with his films, and his mother focused on getting him one movie role after another. The most Christmas-spirited event Julian can remember is probably when his mother booked him a Christmas-themed photo shoot, complete with a new fake family with just as fake smiles, and a real turkey that Dolce Larson didn't let him eat afterwards.
Derek knows all this, after years of friendship, so one year he forces, ah, persuades Julian to come home with him during the holidays.

Report Roundup
Child Trauma
A report by a national advocacy group for poor children and families is calling on federal, state, and local policymakers to pay more attention to the needs of children who are exposed to trauma caused by experiences such as witnessing violent crime, being bullied at school, or losing family members in military conflicts.
The National Center for Children in Poverty, based at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, issued a list of recommendations to address what the authors say is a dearth of strategies and programs to help children who have been subjected to trauma. One-quarter of all children and adolescents are exposed to trauma, the report says, and the rates are likely higher for youngsters who are poor or members of racial and ethnic minorities.
"Strengthening Policies to Support Children, Youth, and Families Who Experience Trauma" calls for tribal and governmental agencies that handle mental-health services, juvenile justice, and child-welfare programs to incorporate promising strategies for preventing and treating trauma in youths and their families. It highlights existing programs that are addressing child trauma in a military community in Watertown, N.Y., in rural Maine, and in American Indian communities in North Dakota.

Rubin disappointed in lack of interest in Darksiders dev Vigil Games
THQ president, Jason Rubin has expressed his frustrations over the lack of interest in bidding for Vigil Games.
Vigil Games was undoubtedly a studio with a lot of talent as their Darksiders series has shown and Rubin had a large amount of confidence in their new IP, Crawler, as well.
Describing the lack of interest as a "travesty" Rubin said, "It makes no sense to me. If I weren't barred from bidding as an insider, I would have been there with my checkbook. I'm sure that's little consolation to the team, but that's a fact."
He added on the sales as a whole, "The price that the teams and products 'went for' at auction seem to me to have no bearing on the underlying value. If someone tries to judge the quality of the products by the price paid for them they are doing themselves no favor."
Thanks Game Informer.
