A consent decree agreement entered Thursday in federal court resolves a disability discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc., filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) last year on behalf of former employee Charles Goods, and discrimination claims filed by Goods.
The EEOC took up the Greeneville resident's case against the retailing giant, claiming in a lawsuit filed in October 2010 that Wal-Mart violated federal law when it fired longtime employee Goods because of a cancer-related disability, and retaliated against him for complaining about the discrimination.
The orders in the decree signed by U.S. District Court Judge J. Ronnie Greer include a provision that Wal-Mart pay $275,000 in full settlement of the claims, including $110,000 in back pay with interest and $165,000 for compensatory damages to Goods.
Back wages are for the years 2009 and 2010.
Wal-Mart was also ordered to conduct anti-disability discrimination training for management and take steps to prevent "further failing to provide reasonable accommodation" to employees with disabilities.
EEOC filed the lawsuit under provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the subsequent ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), and the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
Goods was hired by Walmart in January 1997 and worked as a forklift operator at the Distribution Center for more than 12 years. In 2005, according to the EEOC civil complaint, he underwent surgery for thyroid cancer.
The surgery severed several nerves and left Goods with limited feeling or strength in his right arm. He remained "a qualified individual with a disability," the complaint said.
In November 2008, Goods' supervisor asked him to relieve an employee in the shipping department for a 20-minute break. Goods replied that he could not perform the work because he couldn't do the manual lifting required there.
He was asked to complete a request for reasonable accommodation, court documents said.
The EEOC complaint demanding a jury trial said that Goods requested reasonable accommodation to continue working in the section of the Distribution Center where he operated a fork lift, adding that he was employed successfully for 12 years, including the three years following his cancer surgery.
Wal-Mart claimed an essential function of Goods' job "was manual lifting," the EEOC complaint stated. Goods' doctor advised Wal-Mart that he could not perform manual lifting.
"In practice, [Wal-Mart] did not require Goods to do any significant manual lifting in order to successfully perform his job," said the complaint, which claimed the company denied Goods' requests for reasonable accommodation, asserting that he could not perform essential job functions.
"[Wal-Mart] did not enter into the interactive process to accommodate Mr. Goods' disability," the complaint stated, instead placing him on leave "and subsequently discharging him because of his disability."
Goods was placed on a 90-day leave on Dec. 18, 2008, in response to his request for an accommodation, and denied an appeal before he was advised that "it was his responsibility to find another position that did not have a written requirement of manual lifting."
He filed a charge of discrimination on May 18, 2009, and was terminated by Wal-Mart on July 16, 2009, "in retaliation for his continuing to request a reasonable accommodation for his disability," the EEOC complaint stated.

Is having a second job at Hooters in order to pay your bills and support your children enough to terminate your employment? Is there a claim for gender or familial status discrimination where a single mother holds this type of job to support her kids? Thess issues are starting to be addressed in the Ft. Myers area in the case of Nicole Zivich.
A high school cheerleader coach in southwest Florida says she was fired because a parent complained about her part-time job at a Hooters restaurant. The 24-year-old Nicole Zivich was fired from Estero High School Nov. 21. Zivich told the Lee County School Board this week that a parent of one of the cheerleaders had sent a flurry of emails complaining about her second job at the popular chicken wing restaurant where waitresses wear tight-fitting uniforms.
Citing a privacy policy regarding personnel issues, the school district has not given a reason for her termination. But school superintendent Joseph Burke said it had nothing to do with her employment at Hooters. She was working under contract as the school's varsity cheerleading coach.
This matter has created lots of noise for the local school board who has been asked to reconsider its decision. Will keep you posted on how things turn out.

It is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act to terminate or refuse to consider an employee for a position based upon their disability or based upon a perceived disability. Robert Bush recovered a large jury verdict where his employer treated him differently based upon his heart condition.
A federal jury has awarded a Gillette man $1.2 million in damages in his wrongful termination lawsuit against a heavy-equipment dealer.
The jury found last week that Casper-based Wyoming Machinery Co. violated the Americans with Disabilities Act in terminating Robert G. Bush after he underwent open-heart surgery.
According to a pretrial memorandum filed on behalf of Bush, he began employment with Wyoming Machinery on Sept. 1, 1999, as a tube technician and later as a mechanic working on heavy equipment, including haul trucks at coal mines in Campbell County.
Bush underwent open-heart surgery in October 2006 and was told by his physician not to work for six months and to work only "light duty" when he returned to his job.
The company considered Bush disabled and placed him on long-term disability, according to court records.
Bush returned to work in April 2007 as a heavy-equipment mechanic. But, on the second day back on the job, he suffered what he characterized as a mild heart attack, and he returned to long-term disability.
In August 2007, Bush was contacted about a site coordinator position open at the North Antelope mine. He was 51 years old at the time. He didn't get that position and wasn't notified about an opening at another mine that went to a younger, less-qualified employee, the court records said.
Bush was qualified and physically able to handle the site coordinator position, according to the lawsuit.
The company contended the person who got the job had better computer skills than Bush.
Bush was terminated July 15, 2008, based on company policy that an employee cannot be absent from work for more than six months. He had been absent from work for about 21 months with the exception of two days he worked in April 2007, company attorneys wrote.
Wyoming Machinery Co. also said Bush did not suffer a mild attack after he returned to work but had only a muscle problem. And it argued that Bush's physician never told him that he needed to take time off work to recuperate. The company paid Bush $19,000 in disability benefits before he was terminated.

Even international law firm Sidley Austin Brown and Wood feels it does not have to comply with age discrimination laws.
The Behren Law Firm an employment litigation firm dedicated to representing employees in the workplace.
The case involved an international law firm who allegedly forced 31 former partners out of their ranks of partnership because of their ages. Although the law firm says it did not force the 31 lawyers out of their firm because of their age, they nonetheless settled out of court and the settlement was approved by a federal judge.
The law firm of Sidley, Austin, Brown and Wood allegedly forced out the plaintiffs in this case under a 1999 firm reorganization. The settlement would mean each former employee would receive roughly $860,000 to $1,835,510, depending on their status at the time they were forced out of the firm. It would also stop the law firm from retiring, reducing, expelling, terminating, or reducing the compensation of the partners and changing the status of partnerships based on age. The firm may also not create or continue to have any formal or informal type of policy that mandates partners retire at a certain age, nor may they have a policy in place that the firm may grant permission for a partner to continue to practice after they have reached a certain age.
In this instance, the EEOC brought suit against the law firm under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which prohibits age discrimination for those more than 40-years-old.
While it has to be said that the international law firm did have a novel defense, it did not stop the courts from deciding for the plaintiffs. The defense was that partners in a law firm are not considered to be employees under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

A refusal to accomodate pregnancy required lifting restrictions or termination in response to pregnancy complications, may be the basis for a discrimination claim under state laws and the Federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
An African-American pregnant nurse has filed a lawsuit against her employer claiming she lost her job after provided her employer with a doctor's note stating that she could not lift more than 50 pounds.
Claiming violations of her civil rights and violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Jackie Lewis filed suit against Senior Living Properties, doing business as Overton Healthcare Center, on Oct. 25 in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
Lewis was employed by Overton Healthcare Center in Overton since September 2004 as a certified nursing assistant.
On Aug. 15, she informed her employer of her pregnancy, according to the lawsuit. Lewis states she had been to the hospital that day and could not report for work. She also missed work on Sept. 1 due to complications of her pregnancy, but claims she submitted the proper excuse from her doctor.
Ten days later, she was reassigned to a position which would require lifting on her part.
As a result, she submitted a note from her doctor limiting her lifting to no more than 50 pounds. The next day, Lewis' employment was terminated, according to the lawsuit.
The plaintiff is seeking damages for lost wages, insurance benefits, emotional pain and suffering, inconvenience, mental pain and anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, punitive damages, emotional distress, embarrassment, disappointment, indignation, shame, despair,
If you believe you have been the subject of pregnancy discrimination, file a charge with the EEOC or go to an employment law attorney that handles these types of matters such as Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm.
Sexual harassment in the workplace must be quickly addressed by employees and employers in all cases. However, it is even more important to address where minor employees are involved. In at least one case, the managers of a Dairy Queen did not address the harassment quick enough.
The guardian of a 17-year-old minor has filed a lawsuit against Dairy Queen, claiming the fast food restaurant allowed the teen to be sexually harassed by a co-worker.
Kathryn McCauley, as guardian and next friend of a minor, filed suit against Food Service Holdings Ltd., doing business as Dairy Queen, on Oct. 17 in the Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division.
The 17 year old was employed by Dairy Queen in Huntington in June 2010, where she was subjected to discrimination on the basis of her sex, including sexual harassment and retaliation for reporting such harassment, the suit claims.
According to court records, the minor was subjected to a hostile work environment by a co-employee and was told the co-worker would be fired after his 30-day probationary period.
However, McCauley claims that when the probationary period was over, the co-worker was not fired. Instead, the minor was not properly placed on the schedule and given very few hours. The teenager was terminated on Oct. 3, 2010, allegedly for failing to show up to work.
The teen maintains that she was informed that she was not scheduled to work on the date in question and she was really terminated for reporting the sexual harassment.
If you believe you or one of your children has been the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace, speak to an attorney experienced with sexual harassment suits such as Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm.
Discrimination is illegal against all pregnant employees not only while they are working for employers, but also during the hiring process. The EEOC is trying to educate Tampa's Capri Home Care.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that it filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against Capri Home Care, Inc. for refusing to hire a pregnant applicant into an administrative assistant / billing clerk position at its Clearwater, Fla., facility. Capri Home Care is a home health agency that provides skilled nursing and specialized home health care throughout Central Florida.
According to the EEOC's suit, Capri's management was so impressed with the applicant at her initial interview that they immediately extended her an offer for the position starting the next day. Following orientation on the applicant's first day of work, Capri's sentiment changed after she disclosed she was pregnant. Within an hour, the EEOC said, Capri rescinded its job offer, claiming it had already offered the position to a former employee. A non-pregnant woman was selected several months later, the EEOC said.
Pregnancy discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District, Tampa Division (EEOC v. Capri Home Care Inc., d/b/a Capri Home Care, Case No. 8:11-cv-02211-RAL-MAP) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency is seeking back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for woman who was subjected to discrimination. The suit also seeks injunctive relief to prevent and correct pregnancy discrimination, posting of anti-discrimination notices, and training of Capri's managers and employees about equal employment opportunity laws.
If you believe you have been denied employment because you are pregnant, you should file a claim with the EEOC or speak with an employment law attorney that handles pregnancy discrimination matters. Feel free to call Scott M. Behren and the Behren Law Firm for a free consultation.
Well this recent case gives me one more reason to dislike Virginia Tech aside from their last minute win over the Miami Hurricanes this past weekend.
As you know, we have blogged on many occasions about employee rights under the various state and Federal sexual harassment statutes which make it illegal for an employer to harass or discriminate against an employee based upon sexual harassment.
Well, a former Virginia Tech employee has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit in which she claimed her supervisor treated a five-day training session with her "as if the trip was an extended date."
Getra Hanes, who worked as a fundraiser for the university, will receive $60,000 as part of a settlement reached last week in U.S. District Court in Roanoke.
In her sexual harassment lawsuit, Hanes accused Robert Bailey Jr., her direct supervisor, of repeatedly making sexually inappropriate comments during a five-day training trip to Maryland in 2007.
The lawsuit also said that Bailey held Hanes to different professional standards than he did his male employees, and that he fired her when she complained about the harassment.
On the way to the training session, the lawsuit said, Bailey told Hanes how uncomfortable he was travelling with a young attractive women, then proceeded to ask at length if she was married and whether she was dating.
He later tried to invite himself to her room to discuss the development office's Moves Management program, emphasizing the first word "so as to focus on the double-entendre meaning of the title," the suit said.
When Hanes refused, Bailey insisted that she come to his room, where he made her feel uncomfortable by wearing pajama pants, drinking a beer and leaning over her as she sat at a computer, the lawsuit said.
If you believe you have been the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace or by one of your supervisors, make sure and report the matter to Human Resources or to the EEOC. If you are fired or retaliated against based upon your complaints, speak to an employment law attorney on the issue. Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm handle sexual harassment cases and are available for a free consultation.
Under Federal law, a woman can not be discriminated against or terminated based upon her being pregnant. Typically, there are also state laws, such as in Florida the Florida Civil Rights Act, that mirror the Federal laws. However, agricultural giant Olam International has not been following the law which has resulted in them being sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
A woman named Jennifer Heintz claims she was offered a job as an executive assistant to two presidents with Olam. She took the job, but three days later, she was told the company was holding off on filling the position. Four days after that, Olam hired another person to fill the position. Heitz contends that the job offer to her was withdrawn based upon her being pregnant. Apparently, the EEOC agreed since the EEOC, in most cases, does not bring suit on behalf of an empoyee.
A lawyer for the EEOC stated, about pregnancy discrimination:
"It remains a serious problem — women not getting jobs, women being forced out of jobs, essentially being fired, and in this case, hired and fired immediately after they learned of the pregnancy."
And the problem seems to be getting worse. In the five years from 1997 to 2001, the EEOC received 20809 pregnancy discrimination complaints. In the last five years, they received 29088, a 40% increase.
The EEOC further stated, "There is an added stigma because you become pregnant, therefore in the future and after even you have your child, that you will not be a productive worker," she said. "That's simply not true."
If you believe you have suffered termination or discrimination due to your pregnancy, or have been denied Family Medical Leave, feel free to contact Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm for a free consultation.
We have blogged in the past about the Family Medical Leave Act which allows you to take up to twelve weeks off, of unpaid leave, to address a family pregnancy, adoption, illness or death. Upon returning to work, your employer is required to make sure your job or one substantially the same is still available. One problem, though, is that the Federal law only covers employers with at least 50 employees. This can be problematic for many employees of smaller companies with no comparable state law protections, case in point, Claudia Rendon of Philadelphia.
Claudia Rendon, 41, of Philadelphia, said her employer, Aviation Institute of Maintenance, fired her after she took time off to donate a kidney to her son.
Rendon, who worked for a year and a half in the school's admissions office, said she notified the school that she planned to take leave on July 19 to undergo kidney transplant surgery on July 21 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on behalf of her 22-year-old son, Alex, whose kidney failed last January. After extensive testing in early July, Rendon was found to be a match.
Kidney transplant surgery normally requires at least six to eight weeks of recovery time, and Rendon said the Aviation Institute agreed to give Rendon unpaid leave until Sept. 1. Rendon told ABCNews.com that on her last day of work before the surgery, her manager promised Rendon she would have her job upon her return, but one hour later, asked her to sign a letter acknowledging that her job was not secured.
"They said, 'If you don't sign this letter, you are abandoning your job and quitting,'" Rendon told ABCNews.com. "I said, 'I am not abandoning my job. I am saving my son's life.'"
The fact that the FMLA does not cover Ms. Rendon does not necessarily mean she is out of luck, there is also a possibility that she can bring claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act or relevant disability insurance policies.
If you find yourself wrongfully terminated, speak to an employment lawyer to learn your legal rights. Feel free to call Scott M. Behren and the Behren Law Firm for a free consultation.
In the interim, everyone should send hate mail to the wonderful people at Aviation Institute of Maintenance in Philadelphia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Yonder Blue Films located?
We are located in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the busiest airport in the United States, gives us access to nearly every location around the globe. Our gear packs into flight cases for easy transport.
How long is the flight time of a multi-rotor?
There are many variables that affect flight time. Yonder Blue is equipped with multiple batteries and an advanced field charging station. Downtime for charging batteries is almost non-existent.
What is the maximum range from the operator to the multi-rotor?
It's further than we'd like to test. Yonder Blue keeps our copter within 250 yards of the operator.
I know there's a pilot, but what is the other guy with the remote doing?
Our multi-rotor has a 360-degree camera gimbal. We have a camera operator controlling pitch, rotation and tilt. Thanks to our two-man system, we can track an object much easier than a single pilot who rotates the camera with the copter itself. Ease of use means better cinematography.

The Gamma Knife treats a number of neurological brain diseases including tumors (both cancerous and non-cancerous), functional disorders, and vascular disorders. The volume of each disease type as a percentage of overall Gamma Knife cases is:
Source: Leksell Gamma Knife Society
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of tissue found inside the skull, which is a primary component of the central nervous system (CNS). Malignant tumors are cancerous; benign are non-cancerous. The CNS is housed within rigid, bony quarters (i.e., the skull and spinal column), so any abnormal growth, whether benign or malignant, can place pressure on sensitive tissues and impair function. Tumors that originate in the brain or spinal cord are called primary tumors. Most primary tumors are caused by out-of-control growth among cells that surround and support neurons.
Benign tumors include Acoustic Neuroma, Meningioma and Pituitary Adenoma.
The most common functional disorder treated with Gamma Knife surgery is Trigeminal Neuralgia. The most common vascular disorder is Arteriovenous Malformation.

Hello Lizzyland!
Today we have author Melissa Pearl here to talk about her book and something very near and dear to her heart!
Beautiful, wild-chid Nicole Tepper is hit by a car and left for dead. But when she wakes the next morning, Nicole finds herself in bed without a scratch. Perhaps she was more intoxicated than usual, as her mother is giving her the silent treatment and her friends are ignoring her as well.
Things take a turn for the weird when Nicole soon discovers she is actually hovering between life and death. Her body is lying in the forest while her spirit is searching for anyone who can hear her. Unfortunately the only person who can is Dale Finnigan, the guy she publicly humiliated with a sharp-tongued insult that has left him branded.
Desperate, Nicole has no choice but to haunt Dale and convince the freaked-out senior to help her. Will he find her body before it's too late? Or will the guy who tried to kill her with his car, beat him there and finish her off before anyone finds out?

My New Photography Lighting Kit
Posted By Jocie On March 19, 2013 @ 7:00 am In Roundup,The Better Half | 17 Comments
YAY – I got a new lighting kit! *insert excited gasp here!* Let me preface myself…this is not a how-to article. I have no wisdom, no great project. I'm not trying to sell a product or plug a company. I am just super excited about my new photography lighting kit and wanted to share it with you! I would also love to hear your experience and tips, too!
Awhile ago, Heather from At the Picket Fence [1] shared on FB that she purchased a lighting kit and loved it. I pushed it to the back of my brain and forgot about it. Then recently, I my camera broke! AHHHH. It is currently out for repairs, but in trying to learn a DSLR, I have been struggling to get great pictures. Not that my pictures before were amazing, but they pass for decent.
Either way, I want better pictures because regardless of how great a project is, if the pictures stink, no one can tell just how great it is! So, I asked around about a lighting kit and Jacque at the DIY village [2] recommended this continuous lighting kit with umbrellas [3] from amazon.com for $59.99. Included is:
In my book, that's pretty darn cheap. They are good lights for tabletop photography or very small studio shots, which for me, most of my blog photography is done on a small-scale. Plus, with amazon Prime, it shipped for free in two days. woot woot!
After it arrived, I set it up and did a little practice run with the help of my lovely assistants. Now, again, I am no professional photographer. This is not meant to be a pat on the pat for my photography skills – so just enjoy the pretty smiles. lol.
Obviously, Lucy didn't want to be left out as I set up the gear. Oops, no pants, better do something about that! haha
Baby also wanted her picture taken, which was much easier since she likes to sit still.
In my rush to try things out, I didn't set up the third light. I probably should have because it would have been nice to have even more light to account for my wiggly girls!
I also did a real quick, 10-minute photo shoot (at night, in my basement) with my cute Framed Easter Jelly Bean Nest [4]. I wanted to test of the practical difference between using no flash, bounce flash, the lighting kit with umbrellas, lighting kit with no umbrellas, and also figuring out how much photo editing needed to be done. Again, everything would look better if I had shot the pictures during the day, but for nighttime, it was pretty good.
First, I tried taking a picture with no flash, bounce flash or lighting kit, just the crappy overhead light in our basement.
Then, I used the bounce flash, but no lighting kit.
Next, with the lighting kit, but no umbrellas, just the naked bulbs.
And here, with the umbrellas on the bulbs, reflecting the light back at the frame – a much softer, better light and coloring.
And finally, I increased the exposure just a tad on the photo editing software and it becomes a good picture!
Here's the side-by-side progression!
Obviously, knowing my camera better would also go a long way – I am definitely a novice! And I am realistic that good pictures still take work, but with better lighting, I'm hopeful that it will be a bit easier!
What do you think? Any quick photography tips for this beginner?
Thanks so much for sharing in my excitement about my new lighting kit! Also, be sure to check out our feature over at Dollar Store Crafts on Dollar Store Easter Decor [5].
Don't forget to check us out on Facebook [6] and Pinterest [7]!

Hmmmm. Better to ask what we don't do! Club activities have, in the past, included (in no particular order):
Our weekly meetings are, generally, a social meeting. In these gatherings there is a wealth of knowledge, advice and experience on many aspects of the hobby plus, of course, related subjects such as computing, power supplying and security. On occasion equipment is brought along to demonstrate the finer points of its' operation to other owners who are having a problem. Chances are if a member has a problem, another member has solved it previously for themselves (or more than one member has solved it in different ways, giving the troubled member various options).
Once a month we like to have an "Activity Evening" which could be a Talk, Demonstration or even a Quiz (see Fun & Games for examples of some past quizzes). Take a look at our Activities Scrapbook page to see more about what we've done (started January 2010).
Interested in joining us? Take a look at the Club Constitution (PDF document, 3 pages, 171 kb) and the Join the Highfields ARC page.

Cedar Rapids Gazette
The first reported case 'round these parts of a concealed carry permit holder using his weapon, training (or lack thereof?), stopping a potentially deadly attack.
It could be worse!
I suppose
I've deleted six posts already from this thread. Its not about the dog breed, its about somebody who stopped a dog attacking another with their gun. Discuss that. Nobody cares about your opinion on pit bulls. The lame arguments back and forth are tiresome and just that... lame. Go to a pit bull forum if that is what you want to do, this is not the place.
"Just blame Sixto"
That is not legal in Michigan. Here the law considers a dog property and you can not shoot to defend property. Sounds like their laws are better then ours in this instance.
"I've noticed that everyone that is pro-abortion has already been born." - Ronald Reagan
"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
My thanks also, Sixto.
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow. End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
Wow; I think it would be a real fear that in a dog attack (scary all by its self) once your dog was dispatched (trying to protect you) that you indeed would be next... I think it would be a real fear and justify defending yourself... Just a thought..
On another note; as someone who has had large and agressive breeds of dog for years (with no problems) Dog ownership and responsibility is as impprtant as gun ownership. It should not be taken lightly.. You know if your dog is friendly or not and should control it as necessary.
You can shoot PROPERTY for trying to kill property, Especialy on your Property ; )
A Native Floridian = RARE
Why do people keep thinking to shoot being in the skull?!
That rarely works, as is very often reported as with this case here.

I just recently lost my property/dog by the hand of another (groomer) and it isn't easy to cancel out the personal emotions of a living thing' vs. a mailbox. Nevertheless, I doubt I would have any trouble articulating my 'fear for life' in a similar situation.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
"Property Schmoperty"! An attacking dog is a likely threat to anyone & everyone in the immediate vicinity simply by breaking off & re-directing it's attack elsewhere in an instant. The man walking his dog that was attacked also had his daughter with him. The shooter in this instance was not an owner of either dog, but rather a 3rd party that heard & responded to the attack, quite appropriately I might add. IMHO.
If the scenario was such that it was the owner of the dog being attacked that was also the armed CCW'er and shooter, it would still be a justifiable shoot due to the emminent threat to his daughter and himself.
Asked by a CNN reporter "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist"?, the Marine sniper simply shrugged & replied "recoil".
Now more than ever, we are at war on our home soil ... WAKE UP & arm our troops when they are on home soil!
The article in the paper today (as opposed to the on line piece linked above) had a little more information: The attacking dog jumped out of a car window before the caretaker was able to leash the dog. The attacking dog circled around those walking the victimized dog and those walking the victimized dog did not know if they were going to be attacked or not. The attacking dog chose to attack the victimized dog.
Several people tried to prize the two canines apart with no success. All of those people were at risk of great bodily injury (to address the "property attacking property" crowd).
After the attacking dog was shot, someone with an ice pick(?) was able to get the attacking dog into an apartment, and then into a fenced back yard to await animal control, who put the shot (attacking) dog down by lethal injection.
Please note.. no mention was made of any breed in my update on the article... and boy, that's hard to do...
It could be worse!
I suppose
The story has a happy ending. The innocent dog is ok and the attack dog was killed.
The shooter did good and animal control did the right thing. That vicious dog will never attack again.

Google's latest doodle marks the birthday of Erwin Schrödinger, the Nobel prize-winning quantum physicist whose eponymous equation lies at the heart of quantum mechanics.
Born in Vienna in 1887 to a factory owner and his Austrian-English wife, Schrödinger was tutored at home as a child and went on to study theoretical physics at the University of Vienna before undertaking voluntary military service, later returning to academia to study experimental physics.
Renewed military service during the first world war broke up his studies before he was sent back to Vienna in 1917 to teach a course in meteorology.
However, it was not until his late 30s that he was to change forever the face of physics by producing a series of papers that were all written and published over the course of a six-month period of theoretical research.
By 1925, then a professor of physics at the University of Zurich and holidaying in the Alps, Schrödinger formulated a wave-equation that accurately gave the energy levels of atoms. It formed the basis of the work that would earn him the Nobel prize in physics in 1933.
In subsequent years, he repeatedly criticised conventional interpretations of quantum mechanics by using the paradox of what would become known as Schrödinger's cat. This thought experiment was designed to illustrate what he saw as the problems surrounding application of the conventional, so-called "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics to everyday objects.

You've just walked down the street and got into your car which is down the road from an ATM. You're sitting in the drivers seat with your carry weapon on your hip. It's about 11pm in a deserted part of town.
You're just about to start your car up and drive up when a white van screeches to a stop in front of the ATM and 3 thugs get out with jackets on and pull one of them pulls out their Glock and points it at a woman that has a child in a stroller beside her. The BG's havn't seen you. They yell at the lady to take out all her money or they'll kill her and her baby. She's getting her money out when the BG on lookout is staring around and see's you and points at you and yells at his homey's and two of the BG's (one is armed with a knife, other apparently unarmed) heads towards your car while the one with his gun keeps getting the money from the lady. The van is still running with one gangsta inside it.
What do you do?

Join Geno Church for his workshop, Bringing Sexy Back to Offline Marketing, on Sunday, October 16, 2011 3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. at the PRSA 2011 International Conference, Oct. 15–18 in Orlando, Fla.!
During my session, I'll help you refocus your public relations efforts and evaluate the power of offline word of mouth for your brand.
With all the social media buzz floating around the public relations industry, let's look at a few statistics:
- 90% of word of mouth happens offline (face-to- face or voice-to-voice) – Keller Faye Group
- 10% of word of mouth happens online (social media, email, texting) – Keller Faye Group
- 93% of retail sales happens offline – Forrester Research report
So why all this focus and attention on online word of mouth? It's because offline Word of Mouth is very difficult to do. It's because marketers treat word of mouth as an output (sustaining the conversation) and not as an input (starting the conversation).
It's time to talk about The 5th P… PEOPLE

An outstanding 7 bedroom executive Villa on the exclusive Enclave at
Emerald Island - the ultimate in luxury for your dream vacation to
With over 3000 sq. ft. of living space, larger than average lot
and backing onto conservation area, this is the perfect place for
larger families and groups needing space and privacy.
This 5.5 bathroom Villa has 3 master suites. One Master
Suite is on the ground floor completed with a large bathroom and walk-
in closet.
The other two Master Suites are upstairs. One is
to the front with a wonderful bathroom in the 'turret', the other
has a view to the conservation area to the rear.
The other 4 bedrooms are upstairs where they share two 'Jack and
Jill' style bathrooms. No long waits for the bathroom in this
Villa! We have a queen bed, two twin bedrooms and a double bunk
room - great for the kids!
For added flexibiltiy, the bunk room can be set up with Toy Story themed bedding or with Disney Fairies bedding. Just let us know on your booking form!
For the comfort of our guests there are 3 living areas: the Family
room, the Living room and the Den. There is plenty of room for the
whole family to eat either outside by the pool or in the two dining
areas inside the Villa.
We have dramatically extended the south facing deck to 30' x 40'.
Fully screened, and containing a large heated 14' x 30' pool and a
spa, there is plenty of room for everyone to relax outside. Imagine
sitting out by the pool after the bustle of the day - sipping a
deliciously cool drink and relaxing to the sights & sounds of the
woodland behind. Heaven.
We had a family reunion and housed all 10 adults and 8 grand children in the Manor. We had a wonderful time. The pool made it easy to extract tired children from the park at the end of a day with the promise of some pool time. What a lovely pool! The Spa was a welcome relief to tired feet after a day at Disney as well!
The well appointed kitchen facilitated feeding the whole crew. Plenty of movies and places to watch them, books, toys, useful items for preschool aged kid entertainment and feeding, stroller, everything really made us feel at home.
We saved hundreds of dollars by eating Breakfasts and packing lunches, leaving dinners to the entertainment, but feeding small children at home as much as possible.
The Manor is VERY close to all the Disney parks, quiet, and just a real joy. Worth every penny of the rent, and then some. Thank you so much Kay for having such a wonderful place for folks to use. I'd recommend it to anybody hosting a large gathering such as we did.

Conform Chair by William Lee
Industrial designer William Lee's Conform chairs are a play on an ironically nonconformist design that simultaneously conforms - to the contours of the body.
(Click the images below for full sized images)
Says Lee, "A geometry of distorted cubes seem to be cut from a single rectangular frame. A slight variation is created from the inversion of top and bottom."
A woven elastic surface stretched over the frame resembles a canvas for painting. "The elastic material allows an opportunity for various neon green and pink frames."

Wednesdays Wardrobe
This wednesdays wardrobe is a picture of my big girl. It was her 13th bithday last week and I took her and her friend on a photoshoot to Revolve in Cheltenham. This picture totally shows what the average 13yr old is wearing at the moment. The look is quite casual, it is about skinny jeans, converse pumps or checked shirts.
The converse are great, they look casual like pumps yet are quite sturdy. The range of colours is fab and I especially liked the burgundy. The photographer took a great picture of the girls and made it black and white but kept their converse in colour. If money was no object I would have bought all the pictures she took!
Skinny jeans are a girls staple and these came from New Look. The look was finished off with a Hollister T Shirt bought in the sale and a checked shirt from SuperDry. Although her checked shirt is designer there are many non designer versions available too.
I would love to know what you have bought in the sales, clothing you have reviewed this week or just any looks your children are rocking. Grab the badge in my sidebar and link up.

Deal expired!
This deal has expired but you can still find lots of awesome Software deals below:
Screenshot software for efficiency nuts! - only $14!
$29.99 Discount
53% You save
Clarify is a new approach to screenshot software for Mac and Windows that makes sure you're understood the first time you send a message. Adding visuals to your communications can save time and money. But a single screenshot sometimes isn't enough, and screen recordings can be time consuming to create and difficult to deliver.
Clarify is different than traditional screen capture and recording apps. It lets you capture, sequence, and annotate screenshots to create emails, PDFs, and web documents that are a great alternative to screen recordings. Clarify is simple to use and fits seamlessly with your daily workflow of sending emails and posting messages in online apps like Basecamp.
And through this exclusive deal you can get Clarify for over 50% off the normal price of $29.99 - just $14!
Take a look at this short demo video:
So what can Clarify do for you?
- Create how-to documents: Need to show a client how to change a WordPress setting? Or how to deliver large files to you via a file sharing service? In less time than it would take you to write an instructional email, you can create and deliver a visual step-by-step guide that they'll understand the first time. No follow-up emails asking for more instructions and no confusion!
- Create your own process documentation: Do you spend a lot of time trying to remember how to perform tasks that you need to complete on a semi-regular basis? Use Clarify to create a visual guide for yourself and save it as a PDF or even insert it into an app like Evernote.
- Clarify client revision requests: Client requests are often incredibly vague. It takes time to nail down exactly what they want. Use Clarify to create a visual document of changes you are going to make and get them to sign-off on it first.
- Screen capture: Capture windows and regions or import existing image files. Each capture is automatically sequenced into a document for you.
- Image editing/annotation: Resize and crop images. Reorder them. Add arrows, boxes, text, highlights, and even blur out sensitive information.
- Text authoring: Clarify includes an inline text editor so that you can work with images and text in the same application.
- Simple sharing: Share your document via email, PDF, or online via Dropbox or the free Clarify-it.com sharing service. You can also paste Clarify content into applications like Evernote, Word, or Pages.
Clarify has been getting some great reviews in the press:
- Macworld gave it four out of five mice and picked it as a Mac Gem
- MacFormat gave it five stars
- Best Utility App of 2011 from Time Management Ninja
- Top 10 Best Mac Apps of 2011 according to Mashable
Still not convinced? Here's some more praise for Clarify:
"I LOVE THE CLARIFY APP. I like it so much, it makes me nostalgiangry (I'm mad it wasn't around when I started my business). :-)" — Ben Chestnut, Cofounder, MailChimp
"Definitely My Best Buy of 2011 — Useful in ways you don't yet know." — Mac App Store Review
"The App is genius! Just created an instructional document that would have been 6 paragraphs of exposition otherwise. Thank you!" — @mostlymuppet
"LOVE Clarify. Took me 3 minutes to do what would usually take 30 minutes! Clients are happy, which makes me happy!!" — @zolihonig
- You will receive a full license for Clarify for either Mac or Windows.
- License is per user (you can use it on both your desktop and laptop systems, but not on both Windows and Mac)

Etymology[edit] Scholars do not agree about its etymology,[1] but it is theorized that Mammon derives from Late Latin mammon, from Greek "μαμμωνάς", Syriac mámóna ("riches"),[2] Aramaic mamon ("riches, money"),[1][3] a loanword from Mishnaic Hebrew 'ממון (mmôn) meaning money,[4][5][6] wealth,[7] or possessions;[8] although it may also have meant "that in which one trusts".[1] The Greek word for "Mammon", μαμμωνάς, occurs in the Sermon on the Mount (during the discourse on ostentation) and in the parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:9–13).

Bill Gates presses SEC to issue strict oil, mining disclosure rules. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has joined the fight in support of proposed U.S. rules that would require certain oil, gas and mining companies to disclose what they pay to nations whose resources they develop, in the face of strong lobbying from the energy industry.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed rules would require companies listed with the agency to disclose what they pay to the U.S. and foreign governments where they mine and drill commercially. The oil and gas industry, including its main trade group the American Petroleum Institute, have fought for exemptions to the rules, saying they could put U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage. Gates told the SEC to finalize rules that don't bow to industry pressure to include certain disclosure exemptions. "The Commission has a mandate to implement final rules reflecting the clear intent and reporting requirements established by Congress," Gates wrote in a letter. Eggcorn. In linguistics, an eggcorn is an idiosyncratic substitution of a word or phrase for a word or words that sound similar or identical in the speaker's dialect (sometimes called oronyms).
The new phrase introduces a meaning that is different from the original, but plausible in the same context, such as "old-timers' disease" for "Alzheimer's disease".[1] This is as opposed to a malapropism, where the substitution creates a nonsensical phrase. Classical malapropisms generally derive their comic effect from the fault of the user, while eggcorns are errors that exhibit creativity or logic.[2] Eggcorns often involve replacing an unfamiliar, archaic, or obscure word with a more common or modern word ("baited breath" for "bated breath").[3] 21st century dating problems. 3jWvw.jpg (500×669)

Long Tu and Yuan Meng
Long Tu: I am a computer software engineer. Being the eldest son at home, I had to live up to high expectations. Even though my hard work paid off, I came down with a variety of diseases by the time I was 25. The doctor said that I had severe back problems, and would not be able to perform any more physical labour. It was a huge blow to my family and me. Since I began to cultivate in Falun Gong in 1996, however, my health recovered very quickly. Not only that, my thoughts grew clearer, my work efficiency rose, and very quickly I found a great job at Bell Labs (China) Lucent Technologies. Falun Gong brought tremendous benefits to my entire family.
By revealing these stories met by mainland China Falun Gong practitioners, I hope to expose the truth behind the persecution and remember the unforgotten heroes who have lived their lives with faith and integrity.
Yuan Meng: My grandfather was born a peasant farmer, but, through his own hard work, became an architect. My father entered the best university in China, and also wished to be an architect. But by then China was under Communist rule; he had to abide by the Party's job allocation system and sadly, never completed any architectural work.
Born to such a family, I was brought up to become an architect. I've won several awards, including the Silver Award at the National College Design Competition. I focused on dedicating myself for the betterment of my nation. During my career, I designed for the State Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore it felt like being struck by lightning when, after the persecution of Falun Gong began, I suddenly became an "enemy of the state" or "counter-revolutionary." During the persecution, even though I became disabled, I was nevertheless sent to a labour camp.
Through a torturous and painful journey, I was able to come to Canada in 2004. Continuing my studies at University of Toronto graduate school, I graduated with top honours in 2008 and began working in design again.
Also, as a survivor of the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong, I feel obligated to expose the truth-one that has been intentionally covered up- and help save the lives of fellow Falun Gong practitioners at home.

Introducing The Girard-Perregaux Neo-Tourbillon, A New Take On The Three Bridges
Just a few short weeks ago, Girard-Perregaux unveiled a reinterpretation of its traditional Three Bridges tourbillon concept at Baselworld, signaling a shift in design and material usage for the brand moving forward. The watch is called the Neo-Tourbillon and its architectural execution breathes new life into the now 150-year-old Three Bridges. Combining subdued finishing with a minimal dial design, the Neo-Tourbillon places all the emphasis on depth and dimension, a fitting direction for a watch no doubt inspired by the success of the Constant Escapement.

I'm looking for a little help or tips for rebuilding the Protank.
I bought some 2mm and 3mm silica wick.
32ga, 28ga, and .6mm x .1mm kanthal ribbon (resistance around 7.8ohm/ft ~ same as 30 ga)
The problem I am running into is the past two coils I built all came out with a burnt rubber taste if I take a decent drag allowing the coil to heat up… I suspect the taste is coming from the rubber insulator grommet which separates the positive and negative leads in the head.
Both heads were built with 3mm wick folder over on top of itself (removing the need for flavor wicks). I don't think I have any wicking issues, and I don't get any tank flooding.
Coil 1 = 32ga Kanthal – Fluke DMM puts it at 1.7 ohms
Coil 2 = .6mm ribbon – Fluke DMM puts it at 1.2 ohms
I really the Protank, but I'm sure my coils and wick setup isn't optimal. Any tips to fix that off putting rubber taste?

Solar Forcing of Climate
- C. de Jager
- … show all 1 hide
Solar activity is evident both in the equatorial activity centres and in the polar magnetic field variations. The total solar irradiance variation is due to the former component. During the extraordinarily long minimum of activity between sunspot cycles 23 and 24, the variations related to the equatorial field components reached their minimum values in the first half of 2008, while those related to the polar field variations had their extreme values rather at the end of 2009 and the first half of 2010. The explanation of this delay is another challenge for dynamo theories. The role of the open solar flux has so far been grossly underestimated in discussions of Sun-climate relations. The gradual increase in the average terrestrial ground temperature since 1610 is related both to the equatorial and polar field variations. The main component (0.077 K/century) is due to the variation of the total solar irradiance. The second component (0.040 K/century) waits for an explanation. The smoothed residual increase, presumably antropogenic, obtained after subtraction of the known components from the total increase was 0.31 K in 1999.

This is two coats over a coat of Gelous to make sure that it's silky smooth. I also added my usual top of Seche Vite. I always hear people say that they don't use topcoat on their holo. I've tested one hand with topcoat and one coat without. I just don't see any difference.
The color itself is a pinkish, coralish, redish color. I actually have a hard time describing it, but it's super pretty!

City (pop., 2005 est.: 4,291,000), capital of the Republic of Singapore. A free port centred on the southern part of Singapore island, it so dominates the island that the republic is now commonly considered a city-state. Known as the Garden City for its many parks and tree-lined streets, it offers glimpses into the cultures brought to it by immigrants from all parts of Asia. It was traditionally founded by a Shrivijayan prince and was an important Malay city in the 13th century. Destroyed by the Javanese in the 14th century, it was refounded by Stamford Raffles of the British East India Company in 1819. It became the capital of the Straits Settlements in 1833 and developed as a port and naval base; today it is one of the world's great commercial centres. Its thriving banking, insurance, and brokerage firms make it the chief trading and financial centre of Southeast Asia. It is home to the National University of Singapore (1980).

Insurance.com data proves that safe driving saves money.
October 6-10, 2008 is National Drive Safely Work Week. This annual campaign, always in the first full week in October, is dedicated to promoting safe driving practices at or while commuting to or from the nation's workplaces.
The Network for Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) believes that the Safety Week can help reduce the number of accidents, and the campaign has tips for not just drivers of cars, but for motorcyclists, pedestrians, cyclists and truck drivers. This year the campaign is focusing on raising awareness of the "special needs and considerations of all roadway users."
During National Drive to Work Safely Week drivers are urged to be aware of their driving and avoid these common behaviors.
Some Common Mistakes
Making a Safe Change
As part of National Drive Safely Work Week, the Network for Employers for Traffic Safety provides tips and ideas for drivers and employers at their website (www.trafficsafety.org). Some of the tips include:
The entire campaign can be downloaded as a free PDF (after registration), with plenty of information for employers and drivers.
Drive Safe and Save
According to a 2003 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study, the average accident costs an employer $16,500. However, accidents and violations can have a direct cost to the driver as well, increasing their auto insurance premium. The Drive Safely Work Week campaign mentions this, suggesting that sharing the road with others is preferable to "sharing your paycheck with your insurance company."
Insurance.com's data supports the relationship between safe driving and lower premiums.
Compare the average price of a policy sold by Insurance.com during 2008, from 15 companies nationwide, for customers with no traffic violations to those with 2 or more violations.
Average Premium by Number of Violations
Likewise, even claims can cost you. Compare the price of a premium for consumers with no claims to those with 1, 2 or even more
Average Premium by Number of Claims
"Better drivers pay less, on average, for their auto insurance," explains Sam Belden, Director of Consumer Experience at Insurance.com. "As our data shows, your driving history, and the number of violations or claims you've filed, can have a direct impact on your monthly insurance premiums. Obey the traffic laws, and be a careful and considerate driver. At the very least, you could realize significant savings on your policy."
Drivers may also wish to consider driving courses as a possible path to car insurance savings. Many insurance companies in several states offer discounts for drivers who take defensive driving courses. Such courses are often considered by insurers to be proof that drivers are actively pursuing safer driving practices.
About NETS
Founded in 1989, NETS is an employer-led public-private partnership dedicated to improving the safety and health of employees, their families and their communities.
According to NETS, traffic crashes are the leading cause of death and injury in the workplace, and by avoiding high risk driving mistakes, all drivers, at work or otherwise, can help insure the safety of themselves and others on the road.
