I can't save them all..can I?
Deep down I know I can't save them all but I can't get rid of the instinct to try.
I've always had pets growing up, we lived on a small farm and had several inside-outside cats. I grew up believing you just let the cat outside when he wanted out. We lost a few that way but most lived to very old age. Our last two lived to be 14 and 16. When I moved out of my parents' house I adopted a cat with a boyfriend. We adopted her from a rescue and even though he wanted a cute kitten I made sure we took home the cat that had lived at the rescue the longest, a quiet black and white kitty with seemingly no personality that had been there for two years. She turned out to be quite a character. She still lives with that old boyfriend and is his baby.
I took in a kitten from a friend who didn't want her anymore and was going to throw her outside (six years ago), found another kitten on the road on my way home from work (five years ago) agreed to keep my sister's cat for two weeks while she moved (I STILL have him and that was four years ago!) and last summer I found a kitten in a bush near my mailbox. She DEMANDED that I take her home. So now I have four cats. Love them dearly and they are totally spoiled and own me.
This summer I had two strays show up and have kittens (one had two in the garage and the other had five in the woods near my house) I have adopted all of them (only found a home for one mama so far) and have them all in my house. They are the sweetest kitties. I am foster one of the older kittens for a rescue.
Well last night I went for a walk and went through a path in the woods and these two cats (belong to a neighbor) just followed me. They are kittens probably about 12 weeks old. One male one female calico and very sweet and loving. The female rubbed all over me and I picked her up and carried her and she just purred. She is beautiful (long haired) and very friendly. The male is nice as well. They followed me for about a mile and I finally turned around and led them back to their home. A boy about 11 came outside and told me those were his kittens but I could have them that he was going to put them in a box and sell them for $10 a piece. That his dog "ate" one of the other kittens (they apparently have a large dog) and that his mom ran over another by accident. These cats were visibly frightened of this kid as they shrank back and hid when he came near me.
I can't stop thinking about those poor cats. They are not going to be taken care of (neighbors live in a falling down house with tons of animals running around) they will just breed and have more unwanted kittens. I so want to go back and either steal them in the middle of the night (lol) or offer the kid ten dollars for the cats (at least the female, I fell in love with her) and take them home and try to find them homes. Either foster them or try to adopt them out myself. At least get their shots and get them spayed/neutered.
These cats have grown up outdoors and I don't know if they would adjust to the indoor life. Also I currently have TWELVE cats/kittens in my house and am turning into the definition of a crazy cat lady. What would you do? Should I just forget about them and chalk it up to you can't save them all?
Everything in moderation. Fact is that nobody can give as much quality attention to that many animals. Better to give high quality to fewer animals than just minimal care to so many.
If you are worried about the kittens being euthanized, take them to the ASPCA or other no kill shelter.
You cant save them all, but you can certainly help quite a few...But all of it is hard to do on your own
A few years back I found myself in a similar situation. We bought a house, moved to a new neighborhood, and all of a sudden, there were all these new strays. I went from 3 indoor cats to 9. I wanted to help, I fostered and adopted a few out, I spayed and neutered a bunch of cats in the neighborhood (some were owned but never fixed)
I wanted to help, but I knew I could not keep them all.
So, I started to reach out to local groups, offering my help to volunteer. Being a graduate student, I did not have much time to give - but I offered to foster, and volunteered at the local Humane Society
Once a part of a rescue group, I was able to find homes for my own fosters. Local groups and rescues tell the public their are full, and they are, but they certainly do work with rescue people. There were times I fostered 13-15 kittens at a time, and they all left, because due to the help of other rescue people, I was able to place all my foster kittens for adoption..
Without volunteering with local groups, I would not be able to do much of anything. Now, if I come across adoptable cats and kittens, I know I most likely will be able to place them for adoption and will have the support of local groups (drugs, food, S/N surgery), since we all work together
I really think power is in numbers. You have the drive and the compassion needed, and it is going to be hard for you to keep passing the animals in need by...Maybe there are groups in the area you can offer help to - through fostering, or volunteering your time - and in return, they will help you a whole bunch with all the kittens and adoptable adult cats you come across...
You are doing a great thing and have a big heart, obviously
Join the club! I've handled this situation by adopting out the extra cats. My personal limit is 4, and I just adopted out a foster cat who was a stray who showed up on the porch.
If you can't find adoptive homes on your own, consider joining a rescue group who will feature your cats at their adoption events.
Steal the kittens and give them to a rescue group. People like that are disgusting. I don't look right or left anymore. I am so tired of rescuing animals and it's physically draining. My last rescue is Henry and he is three and 21 pounds of spunk. I DID raise a baby squirrel which drained me last summer but he did live thru the winter and was here last week for nuts. I found a little catbird on the road when I was riding my bike the other night. I removed him and placed him in an evergreen and rode on. I knew if I took him home I wouldn't know what to feed him, he'd die and I'd be stressed. I have five cats now and will some day have only three. That will be the limit. I wish I wasn't born with the 'rescue animal' gene.
You have a great heart. However, remember a lot of animal hoarders start out the same way, with good intentions, but end up with a destroyed home stuffed full of half-wild and sick animals they can't properly care for. Also remember that those cats will live a long life, and you will probably continually come into similar situations every year.....you can't take them all. Adopt the calico if you have a special connection, but try to find a place to take some of those cats and especially the kittens you have in your home.
Thanks for the support. I don't plan on keeping all twelve (I'm going to foster some through the rescue group) but volunteering for them might help me make some connections and that might make it easier for me to adopt the kittens out. Thank you for that suggestion. I got the "rescue animals" gene straight from my mom (but my dad has it too) I remember when I was little she would have my sister and me in the car and she'd pull over to pick up a turtle sitting at the side of the road and we'd drive around with it and she'd relocate it to a safer place. And my parents would rescue dogs as well. Their first dog was a stray (before I was born) and their 2nd (after the original passed) was when my mom went to the vet to pay for the deceased dog's last vet bill the vet told my mom that someone had dropped off a dog to be put down but the only thing that was wrong with her was she had an ear infection. The owner just didn't want to deal with it. The vet told the owner they would follow their wishes but the vet wouldnt' go through with it and needed a home for this older dog. My mom took her home that day. A few months later she adopted a puppy from the humane society (took the "ugliest" one because she knew the chances of her getting adopted were slim (it was a kill shelter) and a few years later she adopted two more puppies (the two dogs that just passed away this year) from a rescue group.
Normally I find a stray kitten every two years (and end up keeping it as evidenced by my four inside kitties) but this year it has been crazy! I think I will try to save the two kittens at the neighbor's house. Not sure where I will put them but I'll make room.
Newhomeseeker, re. your neighbors, the mother of the two surviving kittens will keep reproducing and you'll keep running into the same situation over and over. Maybe you could talk to the little boy's mother and refer her to a low cost spay/neuter, or see if you can get one of those orgs to contact her. To nip this in the bud, the mama cat and any unfixed males need to be spayed/neutered. If you do talk to them, they might just blow you off, but at least you tried.
homeseeker..You had great parents who instilled in you the love of animals. My own case is different. That's why I wonder where I got the gene. I was not allowed a pet as a child even tho I brought home all sorts of animals, kittens, puppies..and all were sent back. I told them when I grew up I would have lots of pets and I always had. You're up to 12. I was up to 9 but now down to five. A few died , others were found a good home because they would not get along in my house. But really in a perfect world there should be more people like us and others here. Good luck. If you bonded w/ the calico, keep her. I know all about bonding..lol
I will try to talk to the kid and see if I can have the kittens ( will try to adopt them out). I didn't see any more cats there so I have no idea if they still have the mother cat. I don't think talking to the neighbors is a good idea because my fiance's step son walked over there this week to play with his friend. He knocked on the door and asked if the friend was home and the father answered and said no and the boy asked if he knew where he was (he wanted to know if he'd be back I guess) and the father screamed at him that it was none of his "fking business" and to get off his property. So I don't think these are the types of people that would take kindly to a suggestion that they spay their animals.
I moved to the country because I wanted peace and quiet and space and ended up in a semi-hell. The neighbors are inconsiderate yahoos who let their "pets" run free everywhere and if I collected all the stray cats within a mile of my house I could probably find at least 50. You see cats everywhere you look! Dogs too. The other neighbors just let their dogs run loose (dog warden doesn't do anything but supposedly warn them) Our next door neighbors have a male dog that isn't neutered and he is allowed to run free too (and does visit the other neighbors dogs (probably not spayed either) Everyone's kids ride their 4wheelers and dirt bikes up and down the roads at all hours and through farmers fields and no one does anything about it. I'm not saying all of my neighbors are terrible but the majority don't even take proper care of their children so they aren't going to be worried about their dog or cat reproducing.
I don't plan to keep all of these cats that I've "collected". One is already enrolled in a foster program (I am still taking care of him though) and one may go to my sister. I have their pictures up at my vet's office and when the newest kittens are old enough to take away from mama cat I will foster them (might keep two of them) but that is my limit.
By the way. I have to say Kudos to you for rescuing all you have and caring for them as you do, AND that you are asking the right questions and recognizing that you might be getting in over your head is a reason to go treat yourself. It shows you have insight and are smart enough to confront yourself and change. Very unique in todays world - Go treat yourself to something (other than another pet) you deserve it.
Ditto on the kudos. Reach out some more. There's got to be some people out there around you that are like all of us -- with that gene :) You need some support from someone like-minded, hopefully with connections.
I was driving home once and there was a turtle trying to cross the road. Some young yahoo in front of me, slouched down in his truck talking on the phone, nailed the poor turtle and splattered him all over the road. Totally unnecessary, not to mention it could have been any animal, even a child. The guy was oblivious. I was so upset when I got home; my boyfriend thought I was nuts. It's that gene I guess. But being a caring person isn't a bad thing at all, I don't think. I really feel for you Newhomeseeker, you are in a tough situation. But I'm glad you are there for all of those poor little cats.
You're right, you can't save them all. But you do what you can. Saving doesn't mean keeping. Otherwise I'd have 14 dogs after 1 year of being a vet. Argh. I've got 5 of my own and one new rescue at the house now. That's plenty. The rescue will get adopted pretty soon, I'm sure. She's a chihuahua and small dogs are generally easier to adopt out than larger ones. Plus she is 100% sweet and has a *very* sad story. Almost guaranteed to be adopted!
Sounds as though there are lots of animal lovers in your new neighborhood, but not a lot of animal caretakers. Some people just don't know what they don't know. THey know they want the cute and fuzzy, but not that they grow up and might need work! So, it sounds like you have an opportunity here! You can be an example for your neighbors as to how to care for an animal at the very least. You can also take it one step further and maybe provide free literature on vet clinics and low cost spay and neuter to your neighbors. If you don't have those services available locally, you can work to make those services available by joining a rescue group and working with other like minded folks.
What I'm trying to say is what some other posters have said: there is POWER in numbers. Join a group. Found a group. Get the local kids involved in educational efforts and maybe they won't grow up to be their parents! You feel overwhelmed and a little alone now, but if you make contacts with other like minded folks, your effectiveness as an agent of change multplies! One person can't save them all....but a dozen people can save a neighborhood. It's like the old shampoo commercial. You tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends..... and the next thing you know, your county is actually opening an animal shelter where none existed before and the deputies just shot stray dogs (true story!).
Too bad your moving to the country has not been the best experience. I also moved to a rural area 12+ years ago, and have the best neighbors (most of them).
I did have to call the dog warden on some people across the streeet that would let their black lab wander ... the 3rd time he got hit by a car, they finally started tying him up. I got called all kinds of names by the father of the house.
I have also rescued more than my share of cats ... curently have 5 in the house, and one feral barn cat. Too many of mine were cats people dropped off in the country when they were no longer wanted.
I have found a local inexpensive spay program, and have had luck finding good families for most of the cats, except the ones that are now spoiled house cats.
You are doing a good thing and have a great heart. You'll find more people that are like you that will help.
Unfortunately, the number of abused and unwanted cats far outweigh compassionate humans. It's so sad, and heartbreaking. How anyone can harm or mistreat these innocent beings if beyond me.
I volunteered at a shelter, a long time ago, and the reasons people give for dumping their pets is unbelievable. Like, the dog got big! Well, what did you expect, babies grow up! Or, the cat scratched me. Well, hello! Yes, cats have claws! Or, they wanted attention! Well, you are the only world they have, if you don't want to commit to them, as they do to you, then don't have them!
But, back to the two kittens that you talked about. I know, individually, we can't save all the unwanted animals, but that's not a good enough answer. Perhaps you could take the kittens and find good homes for them. At least, you would know you tried.
The beating hearts of the ones trapped in a painful life are so lucky to have people, like you, to help them!

Love :) i use it to contour as well. Not overly shimmery and highly pigmented. It's hard on my fair skin to find a natural bronzed and this does pretty good. It can go a little orangy, but that's only my own fault when I put to much on. The only reason I won't buy again is I love bare minerals bronzed too much :)
More reviews by beautyjunkie2012
For the past few years I couldnt figure out why I break out after using this product. I loved the results it gave when paired up with my blush. After I was given an allergy test the culprit was found. Phenoxyethanol. A preservative used in cosmetics and skincare. Its a known irritant and its safety has been questioned over the years. Intially you may not experience any irritation but if your skin receives too much of this over time you develop an allergy due to being overloaded with it. And what's disappointing is that I found it in quite a bit of TF goodies. So I'm having to throw it away. Why would a company that praises itself on being so good for your skin put this nasty ingredient in its products? Bummed out.

This is my favorite bronzer. I need so little of this on a daily basis that the same compact has lasted me almost a year and there's still a couple months of use left in it. Prior to this Chocolate Soleil was my favorite. The only real difference I see between the two is that this is more pigmented than CS so I use less and it lasts longer.
The color is perfect. Although it looks shimmery in the compact, I have never seen evidence of shimmer from it on my face. That is a great thing! So, if you think $30 is pricey, just remember that this can last you over a year if you don't use too much.....and that's awesome!

Cute compact and great size. It's super pigmented so it will last forever. It's a coppery golden bronze sheen that is very sexy in the summer and on tan-dark skin. It's not for your entire face. It's perfect as a bronzey sunkissed highlighter.

California in a compact, indeed ;).
Sometimes multi-colored compacts are nothing more than a cute-sy gimmick, but in this instance the colors blend so nicely together into a coppery-gold bronzer with a touch of shimmer that also works as a highlighter. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Really great bronzer in general. Adds a natural tan without looking dirty or ruddy like Chocolate Soleil. Beautiful golden glow with a bit of shimmer that works perfectly on me; blends beautifully.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this bronzer for finishing. Plus I discovered that after I put my lotion on my arms, I can give a dusting to my shoulders and upper arms and it stays on all day and looks like a natural tan. So not only on my face, I use it on my neck, shoulders, chest and it has stayed on fine.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the only bronzer I've ever used that doesn't make me look scary orange-fake-tan, regardless of what brush I use or season.
It blends beautifully and has just enough shimmer to not be overly matte, which for me is extremely unnatural and terrifying. It is the same color I'd be if I actually tanned - and I use it year round (albeit less during the winter).
I like to use this with TF's Snow Bunny (as a highlighter) for a lovely glow - and they both blend beautifully.
The compact lasts me an extremely long time - even with daily use I'm just now seeing a slight dent, and I bought this at least 7 months ago. I do think it's a little high priced, and some of the kitchy-cute advertising I find slightly annoying, but if it works, it works.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I said yes, I would buy this product again, but my answer is actually maybe. It will take me forever to use up, so by then, who knows what I'll want. At Sephora, the sales lady applied this on me in such a way that I looked like a clown. But, I was a pretty golden clown (haha). Other reviewers have said it's hard to go overboard on this bronzer, but I've found that sometimes it can look scary if I'm not super careful. But since I've just purchased this, I'm still experimenting with different brushes to use with it. Also, I feel like this bronzer will look much better and be easier to blend in summer when I'm tan. I live in Michigan, it's December, so right now I'm paler than a ghost. All in all, I'm pretty excited about this product =]

Host: Ian PunnettGenerations & the 4th Turning
Historian and speaker Neil Howe discussed his work on generations and how they shape history, as well as the twenty year cycle of crisis facing the U.S. He cited different archetypal generations that tend to repeat in the same order, shaping American history since the 17th century. Currently we have:'G.I.s' (born from 1901 to 1924),'Silent' (born from 1925 to 1942),'Boomers' (1943 to 1960),'Gen X-ers' (1961 to 1981), andMillennials (1982 and beyond).Each of these generations embodies different characteristics that are a product of their time, and what preceded them, he explained. Each group turns a corner on the generation before them, and Howe has categorized four repeated cycles or "turnings," that each last for around twenty years. We are in the midst of the 4th Turning, a time of enormous public risk and upheaval, said Howe.

And I don't like when people try to mutate that."Explaining why he is portrayed differently in each of the four Biblical gospels, Christ attributed it to the fact that each book had a different author with their own perception of the events that took place. These different perspectives notwithstanding, Christ said that "they're all right in conjunction with one another. And that's the beauty of the harmony of scripture." He lamented that some people do not read the Bible with that harmony in mind and, instead, "just take what they want and leave what they don't want." Christ also discussed why much of his teachings were contained in parables, instead of in clearer directions. He said that the reasoning behind this method ... More »

In this special program, six guests addressed the controversial United Arab Emirates port deal, which would put Dubai Ports World in charge of running major US shipping ports. Maritime Master Capt.

He strongly believes we need increased Coast Guard inspections and that every shipping container should be screened for radioactivity. Consultant Charles R.

128 years ago, Daimler and Benz invented the motorised vehicle. Diehl Metall produced the first synchronizer ring to synchronize the manual transmission more than 58 years ago. The invention of the automobile reduced the distance between cities and rural areas.
In 1902, in the same year, when the cornerstone for the foundation of the Diehl Group was set, Robert Bosch had a big idea. A high-voltage ignition, that brings the internal combustion engine up to speed. With that idea Robert Bosch became the pioneer of constructing electrical equipment for automotives.
But the Americans were those, who enabled the mass production of cars. Henry Ford was the first, who introduced the conveyor-belt production for cars in 1903.
About one billion of cars and trucks are on the road worldwide. One billion is supposed to be added by the year 2025. Economic growth and progress are depending on mobility. Every day more and more people and goods are on the streets with increasing ways to go. The world grows together but also grows bigger.
Gearboxes ensure driving dynamics. The keystone of the mechanical transmission is the synchronizer ring. For more than 50 years Diehl Metall is successful partner of the international automotive industry in the synchronizer ring production. The product portfolio comprises traditional brass synchronizer rings as well as steel synchronizer rings with innovative coatings. Those improve the friction and wearing quality and cover the entire range of performance. As the worldwide market leader in this field Diehl Metall is a competent specialist for the optimisation of existing gearboxes and the development of exactly fitting solutions for new transmission projects.
The drivers hardly see the synchronizer rings, but the reliability of the transmissions is decisively depending on them. Diehl Metall synchronizer rings prove their enormous capability a million times on the roads, day by day. They have been providing comfortable and noiseless shifting in the vehicle. Our product range comprises about 150 different types of synchronizer rings for almost every European vehicle manufacturer of manual transmissions. Every year more than 50 million high-quality brass synchronizer rings are produced. Each of them goes through an intensive quality control. The patented Diehl hybrid multiple-cone set is the solution for optimum heat regulation.
A perfect partnership is always based on confidence. Both, the development and in-house production of high-performance alloys as well as our own tool manufacture provide the best conditions for a tailored design of modern engine and transmission technologies.
The close collaboration with our customers and focusing our development activities to your demands are the centre of our actions. It goes without saying that the development of new synchronizer rings is always done in close cooperation with the transmission and vehicle manufacturers. We gladly support you with your projects and are always focused on the trustful interaction with respect to the demanded goals: smaller aggregates and reduced consumption as well as light weight construction in the whole vehicle.
Diehl Metall focuses on the principle of miniaturisation in an international manufacturing management concept. Thus, a significant increase in the efficiency of existing technologies can be achieved with innovative products.
The innovative technology concepts of the whole Diehl Group enable the use of impulses of other technological fields for our developments in the driveline. So, Diehl Metall offers "customized solutions" for all types of vehicles at any time.
The requirements to each type of vehicles are as different as the variety of all series of the major automotive manufacturers with the respective philosophies behind it. Due to our international locations in Germany, Brazil, China and India, the supply of the international markets is ensured. In addition, we are able to customize the development partnerships with our customers to the market requirements in an optimsed way. As our customer you can be sure to receive the product in the demanded quality.
The brand Formed@Diehl offers cold formed as well as forged products to the customers - directly from one single source.

Share the post "Learning Forgiveness A Little Late: Love For 30 Project"
What a great story of what life is all about. Forgiveness and love! I admire your courage and love to forgive :) It sounds like your father also had his share of heartaches in his own life.
I can relate to a lot of what you wrote, especially the part about learning to feel "unlovable". I had to conquer that too.
Thanks for sharing this story. I've got a lot to learn about forgiveness myself (also fairly late). This line has given me something to think about today: "At the time, I didn't realize who was suffering." so thank you.
You are much stronger than many of us. I still can't forgive my father for abandoning me. Nor do I really want to. But lack of forgiveness does take a toll on you, physically and mentally. Maybe one day I will be able to forgive.
So insightful. My husbands father left when he was very young (off to another woman, he never really saw him again) and I can see the pain in his actions (and inactions) and wonder what truly healing (including forgiveness) would do for him. His confusion about what being a man is, and how he too, probably feels so very unlovable. Your post helps me understand what he's most likely going through. Thank you for sharing.
One thing everyone should remember, forgiveness doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with the person who wronged you. Forgiveness is something you should do for yourself, not the other person.

Alliteration is when a sentence or phrase has many words that do not necessarily start with the same letter, but it seems like a lot of the time it does. It is commonly used in advertising, poetry, headlines, and tongue-twisters. Basically the first consonant repeats itself throughout the sentence.
Alliteration is most commonly used in modern music but is also seen in magazine article titles, advertisements, business names, comic strip or cartoon characters, common sayings, and a variety of other titles and expressions:[8] Examples of alliteration are "Sally sold sea shells by the sea shore"; in Death Note, the pseudonym of the detective, L, is Ryuzaki Ryuga, his real name is L Lawliet.
Often, characters in books are named with alliteration. Many names in Harry Potter feature alliterations (e.g. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Similarly, in Hairspray (1988 movie), most characters' names feature alliterations (e.g. Tracy Turnblad, Link Larkin, Corny Collins, Dan Dougherty, Penny Pingleton, and Seaweed Stubbs). Titles of books sometimes use alliteration, including the titles of all thirteen books (except the last one) in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Author Jeff Lindsay's novels about serial killer Dexter Morgan all feature alliteration in their titles: eg. Darkly Dreaming Dexter. A common application of alliteration is in books intended for children learning about letters. Animalia by Graeme Base famously applies alliteration within a storybook, going in order through each letter of the English alphabet and providing many sentences with alliteration. Places in books: Bat Barn, Terror Tombs, Vampire Village, etc. Code names: The release names of the Linux distribution, Ubuntu (e.g. Breezy Badger, Hoary Hedgehog, Feisty Fawn, etc.). Game Titles: Prince of Persia (also the tag: Prince of Persia – Warrior Within). VVVVVV goes so far as to have a title made up of only a single repeated letter, and the six characters of the game all sport a name starting with V. Comics/cartoons: Beetle Bailey, Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, etc. Figures of speech: "busy as a bee", "dead as a doornail", "good as gold", "right as rain", etc. Film titles: Dirty Dancing, King Kong, Captains Courageous, Revolutionary Road, Donnie Darko, What Women Want V for Vendetta, which also features a self-introductory monologue by the title character, a few paragraphs long, that consists almost entirely of words starting with the letter V. Stan Lee has stated that he used alliteration extensively when naming his superhero characters because such names stand out and are more memorable (e.g. Scott Summers, Peter Parker, Sue Storm, Reed Richards, Matt Murdock, Bruce Banner, and many others). **The Siegel/Shuster-created Superman franchise is also known for including much alliteration in character names, most repeatedly with the initials L.L. (Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Linda Lee Danvers and many others). Magazine articles: "Science has Spoiled my Supper",[9] "Too Much Talent in Tennessee?",[10] and "Kurdish Control of Kirkuk Creates a Powder Keg in Iraq"[11] Music: The Platters' Twilight Time, CSN's Helplessly Hoping, Janet Jackson, Franz Ferdinand, Cactus Cuties, Kerry Katona, Blackalicious's Alphabet Aerobics. Within Tupac Shakur's song If I Die 2 Nite, the lyrics consist of alliteration mostly with "P" beginning words, sometimes replaced by "C" or "K". Names and pseudonyms of real people: Galileo Galilei, Alexander Alekhine, Charlotte Sharman, Robert Robinson, Lydia Litvyak, Christopher Columbus, Marilyn Monroe, etc. News copy: "Buffalo Blaze Busters" or "Pistol Packing Punks" – Irv Weinstein, WKBW-TV Shops: "Coffee Corner", "Sushi Station", "Best Buy", "Circuit City", "Caribou Coffee", etc. Sports teams: Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders, Los Angeles Lakers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Jersey Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Phillies, Tennessee Titans, Brisbane Broncos, Penrith Panthers, Sydney Swans, Hawthorn Hawks, Port Adelaide Power, St Kilda Saints, Canterbury Crusaders, Washington Wizards
Alliteration Examples Alliteration is a term that describes a literary stylistic device. Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close to a row) have the same first consonant sound. For example, "She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore" or "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers" are both alliterative phrases. In the former, all the words start with the "s" sound, while in the later, the letter "p" takes precedence. Aside from tongue twisters, alliteration is also used in poems, song lyrics, and even store or brand names.
How to Identify Alliteration The best way to spot alliteration being used in a sentence is to sound out the sentence, looking for the words with the identical consonant sounds. For example, read through these sentences to test your skills in identifying alliteration:
1.Alice's aunt ate apples and acorns around August. 2.Becky's beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy. 3.Carries cat clawed her couch, creating chaos. 4.Dan's dog dove deep in the dam, drinking dirty water as he dove. 5.Eric's eagle eats eggs, enjoying each episode of eating. 6.Fred's friends fried Fritos for Friday's food. 7.Garry's giraffe gobbled gooseberry's greedily, getting good at grabbing goodies. 8.Hannah's home has heat hopefully. 9.Isaacs ice cream is interesting and Isaac is imbibing it. 10.Jesse's jaguar is jumping and jiggling jauntily. 11.Kim's kid's kept kiting. 12.Larry's lizard likes leaping leopards. 13.Mike's microphone made much music. 14.Nick's nephew needed new notebooks now not never. 15.Orson's owl out-performed ostriches. 16.Peter's piglet pranced priggishly. 17.Quincy's quilters quit quilting quickly. 18.Ralph's reindeer rose rapidly and ran round the room. 19.Sara's seven sisters slept soundly in sand. 20.Tim's took tons of tools to make toys for tots. 21.Uncle Uris' united union uses umbrellas. 22.Vivien's very vixen-like and vexing. 23.Walter walked wearily while wondering where Wally was. 24.Xavier's x-rayed his xylophone. 25.Yarvis yanked you at yoga, and Yvonne yelled. 26.Zachary zeroed in on zoo keeping. In each of these examples, the alliteration occurs in the words that have the same sound. As you can see:
•Not every word must be alliterative. You can use prepositions, such as of and pronouns such as his and still maintain the alliterative effect. •Alliteration does not need to be an entire sentence. Any two-word phrase can be alliterative. Even some single words can be alliterative, if they have multiple syllables which begin with the same consonant sound.
Brand Names and Alliteration Companies company use this alliterative effect all the time. The major reason companies use this technique is to ensure that their brand name is memorable. Think, for example, of all of the famous and well known brands and companies that have used alliteration in their names:
•Dunkin' Donuts •PayPal •Best Buy •Coca-Cola •LifeLock •Park Place •American Apparel •American Airlines •Chuckee Cheese's •Bed Bath & Beyond •Krispy Kreme •The Scotch and Sirloin Famous People and Alliteration Alliterative names can also help you stand out in the crowd and can make you more memorable. For example, both fictional characters and real people may stand out in your head as a result of the alliterative effect of their name. Think of:
•Ronald Reagan •Sammy Sosa •Jesse Jackson •Michael Moore •William Wordsworth •Mickey Mouse •Porky Pig •Lois Lane •Marilyn Monroe •Fred Flintstone •Donald Duck •SpongeBob SquarePants •Seattle Seahawks •Katie Courec (Remember, alliterative words don't even necessarily have to start with the same letter, they simply have to have the same first sound). Phrases and Quotes Finally, many famous phrases, quotes and saying also make use of alliteration:
•Busy as a bee •Dead as a doornail •Get your goat •Give up the ghost •Good as gold •Home sweet home •Last laugh •Leave in the Lurch •Living the life •Look to your laurels •Mad as a March hare •Make a mountain out of a molehill •Method to the madness •Moaning Minnie •Neck and neck •Not on your nelly •Out of order •Pleased as punch •Pooh-pooh •Primrose path •Right as rain •Right roughshod •Round Robin Alliteration is commonly used since it adds interest to a sentence and can be a great way to help you remember names and phrases that you might other wide forget. Enjoy alliteration. It is a very fun and useful literary device.

: Pretty Faux Fur DIY Boot Shapers from Water Bottles Fashion + DIY + Lifestyle. Let me first start by saying that this may be one of my all-time favorite DIYs EVER… and I think my best DIYs come from pure necessity and/or a real desire to have something fabulous that I can't find elsewhere.
For instance, I can NEVER find really great boot shapers… thus, some of my boots are lying flat in their original boxes & others are standing with their original paper boards & tissue paper that came with them {very unchic!}. Really, when it comes down to it, I don't want to spend money on boot shapers but I also don't want to look in my closet and see a bunch of wine bottles or plastic bottles sticking out of my shoes.

Youngsters up to 18 can get free travel at all times
Cut-price bus travel for youngsters has been extended to all times.
The Medway Youth Pass now applies to all young people travelling on any local bus service at all times, up to the end of the academic year after their 18th birthday.
The service has been running for a number of years, although before now, only applicable for specific times of the day.
The journeys must start in Medway and can be to any destination in Medway or Kent, as long as any changes of bus are in Medway, so the pass will give young people access to all the area's cultural, educational and sporting events.
Medway Council's portfolio holder for frontline services, Phil Filmer, said: "We extended the half price scheme to include all young people up to the age of 18 back in 2009. Now this further initiative will provide even more freedom of choice, and help young people to travel affordably and safely around Medway at all times."
To qualify pass holders must live in Medway. The pass is not valid on the subsidised yellow buses run by the council or with companies that already offer a child fare for students.
Application forms for the Medway Youth Pass are available from all Medway schools, Strood, Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham libraries, the council offices at Gun Wharf and the Customer First contact points. Young people or their parents will need to complete and sign the form and return it to the Student Services Operations Team, Medway Council, Children and Adults, Gun Wharf, Dock Road, Chatham, Kent ME4 4TR. Applicants will need to attach a passport-sized photograph and there is a £5.50 administration fee.

Yaalon has issued an apology.

- 2015 Trade Odds: Hamilton's Goaltenders and Defencemen
- Did you know?
- Dustin Tokarski hasn't fared too well at the Bell Centre early in his career. In 6 home starts, he has a 2-2-2 record but a subpar 3.50 GAA and a .886 SV%.
January wasn't the greatest of months for the Habs or their AHL affiliate in Hamilton. Fortunately, things went better for many of their prospects, several of which had their best months of the season. The same can't be said for too many of the Bulldogs but a handful of players were able to make positive contributions at least. Here are our top prospects for the first month of 2014.
Hamilton Bulldogs
1st Star: Nathan Beaulieu - Even though he only played in half of Hamilton's games before getting recalled to the Habs, he certainly made his mark when he was in the Bulldogs' lineup. Over this stretch, he was cutting down his defensive zone miscues which likely was a big factor in him getting the nod to the big club. Roster size limits may keep Beaulieu in the minors until the trade deadline as others return to health but he probably won't see much more action with Hamilton this year.
Stats: 5 GP, 3 goals, 2 assists, 5 points, even rating, 4 PIMS, 16 shots
2nd Star: Dustin Tokarski - It's hard to win games when you get very little goal support but somehow Tokarski managed to post a winning record in January. All of his wins came when he allowed just one goal while two of his losses came when only two shots beat him. He did his job most nights.
Stats: 7 GP, 4-3-0 record, 2.01 GAA, .925 SV%
3rd Star: Christian Thomas - Despite spending a good chunk of the month on the third line, Thomas was able to be relatively productive while earning himself a brief recall in the process. After looking a bit sluggish upon his return from injury, he has had more jump as of late and is beginning to become the offensive threat we all expected when he was acquired.
Stats: 9 GP, 3 goals, 2 assists, 5 points, +3 rating, 4 PIMS, 16 shots
Honourable Mention: Sven Andrighetto - He endured a notable slump after a hot start but last month, Andrighetto showed signs of turning it around and was much more involved in the play. Sylvain Lefebvre let him play through his struggles and kept him on the top line and if the end of January and the beginning of February are any indication, his patience has paid off.
Stats: 10 GP, 1 goal, 4 assists, 5 points, even rating, 8 PIMS, 17 shots
Other Prospects
1st Star: Brady Vail (Windsor, OHL) - For the third straight month, Vail cracks (and rises on) our list. He has taken his offensive game to another level since trades forced him into more of a scoring role than he has been accustomed to. After being one of the first cuts in Montreal's camp (he was sent home before it even started) there were questions as to whether or not he'd get an entry-level deal. The question now appears to be when he will get his deal.
Stats: 12 GP, 9 goals, 13 assists, 22 points, +4 rating, 4 PIMS
2nd Star: Tim Bozon (Kootenay, WHL) - He had a terrible start to the year with Kamloops but is now living up to expectations on the offensively gifted Ice. If I had to raise a negative point, it would be that he once again seems to be in a secondary role but at the same time, it's hard to argue with results. As long as he's producing, it's hard to complain.
Stats: 11 GP, 9 goals, 7 assists, 16 points, +9 rating, 4 PIMS
3rd Star: Zach Fucale (Halifax, QMJHL) - Although the World Juniors didn't end the way he or Team Canada would have hoped, Fucale wasn't the reason they failed to medal. Upon his return to the QMJHL ranks, he picked up where he left off when he left, by dominating. His month was highlighted by becoming the fastest goalie in QMJHL history to reach the 100 win plateau. As of this writing, Fucale is 40 away from tying the all-time record and since he's returning next season, he has a good shot at breaking it.
Stats: QMJHL: 7 GP, 6-1-0 record, 2.10 GAA, .909 SV%
World Juniors: 3 GP, 1-2-0 record, 2.36 GAA, .905 SV%
Honourable Mention: Magnus Nygren (Farjestad, SHL) - Nygren was slowly brought back into the lineup when he left the Bulldogs but around the midway point of the month, he started seeing major minutes (lots of games over 23, even one over 27 minutes). Plus, his powerful shot has been a boon for Farjestad's powerplay while his all-around game has improved. He has improved on his play from last year, a season that earned him the Borje Salming award.
Stats: 10 GP, 5 goals, 2 assists, 7 points, +3 rating, 0 PIMS

AUSTINVILLE — Virginia Department of Forestry workers harvested the Virginia Capitol's Christmas tree off Coulson Church Road on Monday, which means it will be the second time this Colorado blue spruce will take a holiday turn. The tree's donors let the foresters know this tree helped a family celebrate the holiday in a past Christmas.
The Galax Christmas Parade is at 7 p.m. on Dec. 7. The route is from North Main Street to Felts Park. Prior to the parade, the city Christmas tree will be lit at 6:30 p.m. at Police Plaza on North Main. Any groups or individuals wishing to participate in the parade need to complete an application, available from A Place in Time Antiques or the Galax Downtown Association office. For more information, call 236-0668. There will be a $10 fee for business entries, and all entries will be judged.
The Galax Downtown Association will begin its holiday activities with a "Downtown Open House" this Friday-Saturday. Downtown stores will have special sales and displays, and volunteers will offer gift-wrapping in the lobby of Chestnut Creek School of the Arts both days, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. A donation of cash, peanut butter or juice boxes for Backpack Buddies is requested, in exchange for gift-wrapping. Wrapping is offered for any downtown purchases and for Angel Tree gifts. Bring the Angel Tree tag with your gifts.
HILLSVILLE — A large network of Carroll County volunteers has already mobilized to help deserving families have a merry Christmas, according to organizers. As soon as the calendar turned to November, Dennis Ward sent out a letter to Carroll Christmas Fund volunteers, asking them to do their thing again this year. The letter stood in for an organizational meeting. Ward noted it's difficult to get people together for a meeting this time of year.
Unveiling of first phase of Blue Ridge Veterans Memorial is an emotional and long-awaited time.
WOODLAWN — Voting can work up an appetite for the many people who come to the precinct at Woodlawn School, members of the United Methodist Church just across the road have long understood. For around 15 years, serving a spaghetti lunch at the Woodlawn church has been an Election Day tradition for food, fellowship and fundraising.
A medical issue tipped the Lopez household budget into negative territory, but the Galax family can get back on track with a little help on two utility bills. Ceasar Lopez said his wife Miriam recently had complications from her benign-but-growing brain tumor. Though Miriam had a large tumor removed in 1985, the problem reoccurred in 2007, Ceasar said. Doctors have been watching it and noted the tumor has grown by one millimeter since last check. Lopez spread two fingers about two inches apart to show big the tumor is now.
Cliffside estate and property set for auction Nov. 8-9, including the mansion, cottages, furniture and other items.
UPDATED: Due to the remnants of Hurricane Sandy passing through on Wednesday and expected temperatures in the 30s, several Halloween activities — including those in Independence and Galax — have changed venues:
Oct. 30: Grayson Children's Center
FRIES — Local artist Chad Tate and his crew of maniacs have created a truly terrifying haunted house at the Fries Recreation Center this year. The Scream Asylum opened Oct. 19, with a massive "Pumpkin King" greeting visitors outside the rec center, complete with a light-up head Tate carved out of a foam block. The wood and chicken wire monstrosity also billows smoke from its head.
Billy Mitchell of Galax devoted much of his life to helping the Lions Club, until his health forced him to stop. Last week, the club honored his service.
When Galax High School alumnus Harold Eugene Leonard passed away last year, he left a list of generous bequests to several organizations, including the Galax Foundation for Excellence in Education.

HILLSVILLE — Of the dozen or so dogs and one cat in attendance at the Blessing of the Animals Saturday, Stephanie Burnette thought her companion might be the poster child. Maddie had been diagnosed with cancer in June, and Burnette learned that the dog might have days or weeks to live. Despite that, Maddie continues to hang on and to receive treatment for her malady. "She plays," Burnette said. "She enjoys life. To me, it's been a miracle, an absolute miracle."
The members of the Galax Volunteer Fire Department take their motto to heart. "Pride in Our Past, Dedicated to the Future" is emblazoned on signs and trucks, but it's more than words. As for the pride in the past, firefighters speak reverently of those who came before, building the organization from a bucket brigade to a fire company in 1912, after much of the city's wood buildings were destroyed by fire.
The 61st Annual Lord's Acre Harvest Sale on Saturday will feature home-baked pies and cakes, home-canned goods, fresh-cooked foods, handmade crafts and bushels of fall produce for sale at Felts Park in Galax. The event supports local churches, and is sponsored each year by the Carroll-Grayson United Workers for Christ Association. The day begins with a worship service at 9:30 a.m., followed by the sale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

HILLSVILLE — People from all over the region gathered at the Hillsville VFW on Saturday to celebrate the first-ever Christian Family Fun Day. The event, sponsored by dozens of churches in the Twin Counties and beyond, kicked off with a parade at 10:30 a.m., followed by free food, games and entertainment from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. People smiled from their decorated vehicles while others followed on foot and distributed pamphlets for their respective churches along the parade route.
Cindy Halley of Galax is sharing her story of hope and inspiration through the book, "The Faces Behind the Pages that Inspire." Halley owns GODpillow in downtown Galax, embroidering words of courage and motivation onto pillows of prayer. GODpillow promotes healing through prayer and meditation. Starting in October, Halley and dozens of other women will travel around the country and around the world, leading people on a journey as they tell their inspirational stories.
Firefighters, police officers and emergency medical personnel in Galax hold memorial service.

Anne Arundel Community College has been dedicated to energy conservation and improving the environment for years, and we are now committing to broadening and strengthening our commitment to sustainability as defined by the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
To lead the college in its efforts, AACC's leadership has selected members from across the college to serve on a Sustainability Learning Design Team which meets regularly to make recommendations for improvements.

AACC is pleased to announce Project Sunburst
Construction is underway on AACC's Arnold campus of the largest carport solar panel installation in Maryland, with more than 3,300 panels. The 700 kilowatt system and is expected to supply about five percent of the college's energy use. The carport and panels are installed high enough off the ground so that cars can easily park underneath them – a requirement for AACC as parking spaces are at a premium with the ever-increasing enrollment, and while the panels will shade cars from the sun in summer and the snow in winter (the panels actually generate a little heat and so will melt the snow), they do have filters, so the rain will come through.

Hamilton Street Railways 44 Rymal bus should come 5 Minutes Later.
As a student at Saltfleet District High School who lives in lower Stoney Creek I find myself running to the corner of Highland Road and Upper Centennial to catch the 44 Rymal bus at 2:40PM. This only gives the students at our school five minutes to make it to the bus stop. I would love it if HSR would make the bus come for 2:45PM therefor students at Saltfleet hoping to go to Eastgate Square for any reason (to catch another bus, to hangout or etc) can actually have a chance to make it to the stop so they don`t have to wait till 3:12PM. Even if it is impossible to change the timing of the bus please at least consider having a school extra. Even if you arent a student at Saltfleet but believe that this is a resonable request please sign this petition.

"Portrait of an Image"
Roni Horn is an artist of many talents. Although perhaps best known for her photography, Horn creates sculptures, installations and pieces that are text-based. One of her most compelling works is entitled Portrait of an Image and is comprised of 100 photos of French actress Isabelle Huppert. Horn shot twenty groups of five photos, each group representing a character portrayed by Huppert in one of her films. Each picture displays a personality that exists only on film. Huppert is devoid of make-up, yet through subtle changes in expression the identity changes every time. Beautiful photographs.
Artist: Roni Horn

The Hauser and Wirth Gallery in Zürich presents Portrait of an Image through July 22nd.

He believe in what I do, so now he's makin' this beat
And I'm writin' these rhymes, makin' sure that I kill it

And now I'm growin' up, lookin' around this planet
Some shit be goin' on and I just can't understand it"

Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
For Dr. Seamus Blake, the roots of Irish culture are embedded in the long history and unfortunate repression of the Irish Gaelic language. It is a fascinating story. He should know - he's been promoting Irish Gaelic for 33 years and broadcasting about it since 1978. A New Yorker by birth, Seamus was inspired by both parents to learn the language as a child. "My father used to get a local county paper with a column in Irish, and sit me on his lap and read the Irish to me," says Seamus. Seamus started off by joining voluntary Irish language groups in the city. Later, he traveled to Ireland, where he practiced Gaelic while living on the Aran Islands with a host family for the summer. Then, as a Fulbright scholar, Seamus studied Ireland's language and literature for two years at Dublin's Trinity College. One of his professors there was Máirtín Ó Cadhain, the major prose writer in Irish of the 20 century and author of the highly acclaimed novel, Cré na Cille.
In his effort to cultivate awareness of the richness, utility and cultural value of the Irish language, Seamus has taught classes in Irish Gaelic at Queens College, NYU, John Jay College and The Gaelic Society of New York. In fact, at the present moment, Seamus has been invited to teach a credit-bearing course in "Irish Language Literature in Translation" at Glucksman Ireland House at New York University for the Fall 2010 semester. Also, his article on contemporary Irish language literature will appear in the forthcoming issue of NYU's journal, Radharc. Blake also serves on the Editorial Board and was previously the Irish Language Editor of the quarterly academic journal, New Hibernia Review, is a consulting editor for The Journal for Celtic Language Learning, and was the senior bibliographer of the Celtic section for the annual Modern Language Association bibliography.
Blake has hosted Míle Fáilte, a program devoted to the modern Irish language, since 1989. Originally a 10-minute lesson-focused segment, Míle Fáilte has since been extended to become a one hour entertainment program every Saturday morning. This expanded edition brings listeners a more comprehensive sampling of Ireland's culture, past and present.

EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III & More
« on: May 06, 2011, 12:42:48 PM »A camera is not a computer. It's primarily an optical device. Increasing processor speed, implementing software multithreading, making a smaller body, adding GPS or 3G capabilities doesn't produce better images.
Actually it is a computer, just not a very good one...leading folks to shoot RAW (fortunately this is an option) and using a good computer and good software to process the data into the nicest image possible. Digic5 should be better though, primarily thru increased processor speed so it can run higher quality code for NR and jpeg operations and still get a good framerate.

Tongue, Hairy
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Tongue, Hairy is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Hairy tongue is an uncommon, benign condition that is also known as black hairy tongue or lingua nigra. It is characterized by abnormal elongation and blackish or dark brownish discoloration or "staining" of the thread-like elevations (filiform papillae) that cover most of the tongue's surface (dorsum linguae). Such changes often begin at the back (posterior) region of the top of the tongue and extend toward the front (anterior) of the tongue's surface but never involve the undersurface.
The specific underlying cause of hairy tongue is unknown. However, possible predisposing factors may include poor oral hygiene and overgrowth of pigment-producing bacteria or fungi in the mouth, treatment with certain antibiotic medications, smoking, chewing tobacco, and/or mouthwash use.

Gators' Patric Young Can Cut Lose This Year
Posted By Blake Bass On October 11, 2013 @ 8:10 AM In College,Florida News | No Comments
[1]GAINESVILLE — It's finally only about basketball for Patric Young.
He arrived four years ago as a McDonald's All-American and the next superstar big man for Florida.
Now a senior, the former Providence School star doesn't have to worry about leaving school early, his draft position or what the headlines read. He's going to the NBA in April, but for now he just wants to play his final year of college ball.
"I just really want to play free," Young said. "In that sense, free of expectations, free of pressure, [and] free of people telling me this or that. Just going out there to be the best Patric Young I can be by doing what I do best."

The Audi A6 Avant. The high-flying executive estate.
The A6 Avant excels with its progressive technology. It breaks new ground in the business class with its lightweight body as well as its assistance and safety systems. The features assembled under Audi connect form one of the pioneering options from Audi, while the Bluetooth online car phone with built-in UMTS module brings the internet to the A6 Avant.
The design of the Audi A6 Avant stands out for its lightness and sophisticated elegance. The dynamism of the vehicle's styling is given added impact by the bonnet's elongated curve, the low roof line that drops down early at the rear and the shallow D-posts. Inside, the high-class and functional passenger compartment echoes the exterior's sense of lightness.
