Dr Pepper "/1" Campaign Spotlights Real People With Real One-of-a-Kind Stories
From its iconic "I'm a Pepper" jingle to the recent "One of a Kind" declarations from fans, Dr Pepper's advertising has always celebrated originality and individuality. Today, the company announces the launch of its latest advertising campaign, entitled "/1," or "one of one." Featuring real people and real one-of-a-kind stories, the "/1" commercials aim to dig deeper into the roots of what makes Dr Pepper fans truly unique—not just one in a billion, but one of one.
Each spot in the "/1" campaign will follow an inspiring individual to reveal, through a series of descending statistics, why he or she is truly one of a kind – including:
- Justin "Nordic Thunder" Howard—2011 U.S. Air Guitar champion and YouTube sensation known for his dynamic personality and performance style.
- Mikaela Mayer—professional model turned Olympic female boxing hopeful.
- Misty Copeland— Boys & Girls Club alumna and soloist for the prestigious American Ballet Theatre.
- Jen Mayfield—suburban mom of five by day, roller derby queen by night.
- Armando Cristian Perez—an American rapper, songwriter, actor, and record producer, known better by his stage name, Pitbull.
"Now, in an age of YouTube stars, Tumblr and Twitter, people more than ever are putting their individuality out into the world," said Leslie Vesper, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "That's why the '/1' campaign features real people with real stories that make them like no one else—in hopes to inspire more people to live their one-of-a-kind lives, a sentiment that Dr Pepper has shared since its beginning."
The first two "/1" spots will debut on Jan. 1 and feature the inspiring personal stories of Mikaela Mayer, professional model turned U.S. Olympic female boxing hopeful, and Jen Mayfield, suburban mom of five by day, roller derby queen by night. Dr Pepper will release a high-energy, 60-second montage ad that celebrates the "one of a kindness" in all of us to run during the Discover BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7, nationally televised on ESPN.

im looking at some subcompact 1911s such as kimber aegis & springfield EMP but im not a big fan of the grips- how they feel or look.
what other grips are available that are maybe more comfy? are there laser grips available for them as well?
This is a discussion on alternative grips for 1911s within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; im looking at some subcompact 1911s such as kimber aegis & springfield EMP but im not a big fan of the grips- how they feel ...
im looking at some subcompact 1911s such as kimber aegis & springfield EMP but im not a big fan of the grips- how they feel or look.
what other grips are available that are maybe more comfy? are there laser grips available for them as well?
For the Kimber, yes laser grips are available, as well as multitudes of other style grips. The EMP has a smaller grip, thus the grips are different and there are few after market grips with the exception of Mil-Tac G10 grips which run around $65 a set IIRC.
I prefer Hogue rubber panels, VZ micarta grips, and the various makes of G10 grips.
I think the Kimber would be a Officers frame so there should be laser grips for them you would have to call crimsontrace to make sure they would fit
as for other grips sure just find what ya like and go from there again look for officers frame
Emp is smaller yet so probably out of luck
whats the difference in thickness and concealability of the kimber aegis II vs springfield EMP?
The are roughly the same overall size IIRC, it's just that Springfield had to re-design some aspects of the 1911 to make it accommodate smaller cartridges than the .45ACP.
The only drastic difference is that the grip of the EMP has less circumference. I want to say maybe a 1/4" difference is all, but I'm not entirely sure.
If you check Kimber and Springfield's websites you should find the spec sheets.
FYI, after contacting many premier custom 1911 grip makers about making a set of African Ebony (thin and smooth) for my Detonics CombatMaster, all but one custom builder declined to undertake the task.
The CombatMaster has very short grips, shorter that those found on most compact 1911s such as the OM.
Mr. Rojas of Castelan Designs was the only custom maker that had no problem with my request. He promptly returned my emails and his charge for the grips was very reasonable. Turn-around-time for these totally custom grips was quoted at a blazing 2 weeks.
I should recieve them next week.
Here's his site with many photos of his work....
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
I dig these.

For my old Commander, I wrapped the entire grip in rubber: Pearce finger groove front strap underlays (they fit UNDERNEATH the grip panels), Hogue palm swell grips, Pachmayr rubber-covered flat mainspring housing, and Pachmayr rubber-covered beavertail grip safety.
i guess i didnt really say this in my first post very clearly. i guess im looking for something more of a polymer instead of wood like. id like something a little softer
I would check http://midwayusa.com they have have a huge selection of grips that would fit the smaller 1911's

"... No, I do not share his evil or sink to his concept of morality: I merely grant him his choice, destruction, the only destruction he had the right to choose: his own." -John Galt, Atlas Shrugged
I've always had great luck with Pachmayr rubber grips... Pachmayr were one of the 1st in the aftermarket grip makers being around 35 plus years.
They make a large variety including recoil absorbing in their Decelerator series and combination wood/rubber on their Legend series.
They also make good quality slip on grips too.
You'll have to check their website to see what's available for the guns you want.

Look at hogue if you dont want wood
Would suggest that you take a close look at the VZ line. Especially the canvas micarta.

Joss Whedon discusses the tone of ABC's "S.H.I.E.L.D.," saying, "It's not about murder, it's not about crime and it's not people looking into their own belly buttons." Plus, does Cobie Smulders cameo as Maria Hill?

Whites await Knight fitness update
Knight is a doubt for the game after suffering a calf problem at the weekend, but Owen Coyle will give him until the last possible moment to prove his fitness. The Whites will at the very least be boosted by the returns of Vladimir Weiss and Jack Wilshere, who were ineligible for the FA Cup draw against Tottenham at the weekend. However Gary Cahill, Ivan Klasnic, Sean Davis and Gavin McCann are still missing through illness or injury. Whites (from): Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Robinson, Gardner, Cohen, Weiss, Taylor, M Davies, Muamba, Wilshere, Lee, K Davies, A O'Brien, Al Habsi, Samuel, Basham, Elmander, Ricketts, Holden.

OMG ESPN Rules. I was just checking out my roster for next week, and went to see this week's box score, and it updates in real time on the matchup page. How freaking cool is that?
Yep, no need to pay for live scores here. Only things I don't like about ESPN are there is no Watchlist, so it makes it hard to keep an eye on guys you want to pick up, and the box score just seems a bit hard to read for mine. I think the numbers are too big and the categories aren't in the order I'm used to.
yeah but it updates in realtime. with ajax (javascript updates page from database without reload). Very slick.
Roscoe, you lost to LINWOOD??? He beat me in advanced a couple weeks ago too. I was like......I mean, I never lost to Linwood before...in ANYTHING! Maybe it's a different Linwood or something?
My Keeper League team is not very good. I drafted for the future. Plus, like several people, I blew the draft to begin with. The nice thing about Keeper League, is that even if your team is not good, you have to keep managing it. Looking for up and comers, diamonds in the rough, narrowing down the 3 guys you will keep for next year...
the more i look back on it, the better i'm liking how my team was drafted - forget the superstars and get a bunch of stars. i mean, i've been killing with robinson, durant, duncan, sheed, bosh, joe johnson, butler, martin, and that's with sitting boozer. robinson is playing great under d'antoni, and i've got some nice keeper choices with young stars in durant, bosh, and johnson.
My team is like yours. Only difference is I've had quite a few injuries and never been able to get all my guys healthy at one time. It's been hard for me to make any moves either because I literally have nobody that is droppable. I only get to pick up an extra player every now and then when someone goes on IR. Seriously. Look at my team and tell me who would you drop. (apart from Ty Thomas who I added because Maggette went on IR). Hopefully I'll be able to make a second half run. I might have to start making some trades.
I feel your pain Webz. I have like 4 guys on IR. Brand, Soft as Charmin Peja, Kaman, Gooden and Okur is day to day. I can't get a break.:dizzy2:
Wahhh. Injuries are part of the game. My teams in keeper and advanced are on a roll. I have much greater hopes for the keeper league, but Devin Harris and Amare Staudamire both look pretty good on the advanced squad. If some of you are looking for a playoff push, I may have some nice vets available for young talent. Win now, or play for the future? Bird in hand, or two in the bush?
There is no limit for this. As many as you wish. The fact it is a weekly league mainly prevents people from churning players as it has no effect.
I'm not sure it has no effect. If you look at the 3 people with the most transactions. They occupy 3 of the 4 bottom spots in the standings.
This keeper league is top notch. Except for Lamebeer. Thank the heavens his buddies Jammertina and Darth Tutu decided to sit it out.
I was wondering why this league has been so fun. Now that you mention it, the void of JammerDarth is definitely the key. Plus, it's nice to have an automatic league doormat in the Microwave Corndogs.

1.an interpretation of the U.S. constitution holding that the spirit of the times and the needs of the nation can legitimately influence judicial decisions (particularly decisions of the Supreme Court)

judicial activism (n.)↕
Judicial activism describes judicial rulings suspected of being based on personal or political considerations rather than on existing law. It is sometimes used as an antonym of judicial restraint.[1]:1 The definition of judicial activism, and which specific decisions are activist, is a controversial political issue, particularly in the United States. This phrase is generally traced back to a comment by Thomas Jefferson, referring to the "despotic behaviour" of Federalist federal judges, in particular, John Marshall.[2] The question of judicial activism is closely related to constitutional interpretation, statutory construction, and separation of powers.
Contents |
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. introduced the term "judicial activism" in a January 1947 Fortune magazine article titled "The Supreme Court: 1947".[3]
The phrase has been controversial since its beginning. An article by Craig Green, "An Intellectual History of Judicial Activism," is highly critical of Schlesinger's use of the term. "Schlesinger's original introduction of judicial activism was doubly blurred: not only did he fail to explain what counts as activism, he also declined to say whether activism is good or bad."[4]
Black's Law Dictionary defines judicial activism as a "philosophy of judicial decision-making whereby judges allow their personal views about public policy, among other factors, to guide their decisions."[5]
Political science professor Bradley Canon has posited six dimensions along which judge courts may be perceived as activist:[6]:239 majoritarianism, interpretive stability, interpretive fidelity, substance/democratic process, specificity of policy, and availability of an alternate policymaker. David Strauss has argued that judicial activism can be narrowly defined as one or more of three possible actions: overturning laws as unconstitutional, overturning judicial precedent, and ruling against a preferred interpretation of the constitution.[7]
Others have been less confident of the term's meaning, finding it instead to be little more than a rhetorical shorthand. Kermit Roosevelt III has argued that "in practice 'activist' turns out to be little more than a rhetorically charged shorthand for decisions the speaker disagrees with"[8]:2–3; likewise, the solicitor general under George W. Bush, Theodore Olson, said in an interview on Fox News Sunday, in regards to a case for same-sex marriage he had successfully litigated, that "most people use the term 'judicial activism' to explain decisions that they don't like."[9]:2 Others such as current Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy have scolded this approach as unhelpful because it relies on subjective judgments.[10][11]
Detractors of judicial activism charge that it usurps the power of the elected branches of government or appointed agencies, damaging the rule of law and democracy.[12] Defenders of judicial activism say that in many cases it is a legitimate form of judicial review, and that the interpretation of the law must change with changing times.
A third view is that so-called "objective" interpretation of the law does not exist. According to law professor Brian Z. Tamanaha, "Throughout the so-called formalist age, it turns out, many prominent judges and jurists acknowledged that there were gaps and uncertainties in the law and that judges must sometimes make choices."[13]
Some proponents of a stronger judiciary argue that the judiciary helps provide checks and balances and should grant itself an expanded role to counterbalance the effects of transient majoritarianism, i.e., there should be an increase in the powers of a branch of government which is not directly subject to the electorate, so that the majority cannot dominate or oppress any particular minority through its elective powers.[14]
Moreover, they argue that the judiciary strikes down both elected and unelected official action, in some instances acts of legislative bodies reflecting the view the transient majority may have had at the moment of passage and not necessarily the view the same legislative body may have at the time the legislation is struck down. Also, the judges that are appointed are usually appointed by previously elected executive officials so that their philosophy should reflect that of those who nominated them, that an independent judiciary is a great asset to civil society since special interests are unable to dictate their version of constitutional interpretation with threat of stopping political donations.
The following have been cited as examples of judicial activism:
While the term was first coined and is often used in the United States, it has also been applied in other countries, particularly common law jurisdictions.

The San Marcos Area
Discover this convenient spot for your visit to the Texas hill country, where a warm and friendly Texas welcome awaits. Here, the Guadalupe River and ancient Aquarena Springs feed the San Marcos River, considered an archeologically significant area. We're centrally located right off I-35 at exit 206, near the San Marcos Municipal Airport. The state capital, Austin, is 32 miles to our north, San Antonio is 50 miles to our south. But away from big city life, we offer the comforts of home: spacious and comfortable accommodations, free Bright Side Breakfast® daily, free parking and Wi-Fi, new Samsung TVs, an in-room coffeemaker, a resort-style shaded outdoor pool for relaxation, and a welcome for pets, too.
At the site of a collection of springs which have never run dry, archeologists have found evidence that the San Marcos River, underneath which 200 springs bubble up, supported inhabitants as many as 12,000 years ago. These days, the river is a popular recreational area for tubing, canoeing, swimming, fishing, and bird-watching. Take an antique glass bottomed boat ride on Spring Lake. Or, drive 31 miles to Zilker Park, the key outdoor destination for Austin residents. Our tourism revolves around Skydive San Marcos and Wonder World Park, home to the anti-gravity house. We're also home to Texas State University, the alma mater of Lyndon B. Johnson. And, we're proud to be named by Business Week as one of the nation's best places to raise a family.
Hotel Services and Amenities
Our friendly staff are waiting to greet you Texan-style with a smile and a key to one of our comfortable guest rooms. Your overnight parking is free of charge, and a healthy and hearty free Bright Side Breakfast is served each morning with waffles, hot and cold cereals, breads, muffins, pastries, fresh fruit and all-you-can-drink juices and coffee. Rooms are well-equipped with a new Samsung flat-panel television offering 30 HD premium channels and a Plug-and-Play feature where you can connect your own electronics. Stay in touch using our free high-speed internet access via Wi-Fi. Travel light, as we provide a hairdryer, alarm clock, iron and ironing board, and a coffeemaker in all rooms. Pets are welcome.
Local Attractions
Some of our guests are visiting Texas State University, just three miles from the hotel. Others are headed for Tanger Factory Outlet or San Marcos Factory Stores, just six miles away. Families may be treating the children to a fun day at Wonder World Park or a ride in a glass bottomed boat at the Aquarena Center on Spring Lake. Adventurers may have a thrill at Skydive San Marcos and outdoor enthusiasts may just take a hike around the San Gabriel Park and along the river banks. There's Bobcat Stadium and Strahan Stadium for TSU collegiate football and basketball just a mile- and-a-half away. When hunger calls, a handful of dining options are under a five minute walk from our front door.

Pillars of Bryce Canyon, Utah
Bryce Canyon on the eastern edge of Utah's Paunsaugunt Plateau, is a spiky amphitheater of red and yellow pillars known by the native Paiute people as hoodoos. The Paiute believe that these odd rock formations are the ancient settlers of the region, encased in stone by the Coyote God. Today, Bryce Canyon is a place of pilgrimage for ambitious hikers and day-trippers who come to view the strange geological wonder from winding trails over the Paunsaugunt Plateau's ridge (for the most panoramic view of the canyon, make your way to Bryce Point on the Rim Trail, one of many lookouts on the network of park trails). How the plateau ridge was eroded away into this canyon of marvelous rock columns remains a mystery, as does the origin of the Native American petroglyphs on some of the pillars.
Follow the right path: The closest town is Bryce Canyon City, with plenty of lodging for day hikers. Alternatively, obtain a backcountry permit from the National Park Service at Bryce Canyon and depart on the 23-mile Under-the-Rim Trail: It descends from Bryce Point into the canyon, where you can hike among the hoodoos and sleep under the stars.

I picked up the Ruger LCP yesterday, and have messed around with it a bit now:
My initial impressions of it are quite favorable so far - I've run several magazines of 10 different .380 ACP loads through it, and all fed just fine. I have about 250 rounds through it so far. (Why do I have 10 different types of ammo on-hand, you ask? From trying to get a balky Walther PPK dialed in...)
It's about the same size as a Walther TPH, but lighter, and more powerful. It fits in the pocket just fine, and there are a variety of pocket holsters for it available, either generic "small auto" ones, or custom-made ones. It doesn't need much special, I'm using a DeSantis Nemesis for it, which is just about right for my needs. Most Keltec P3AT holsters should work fine, by some strange coincidence...
The sights are dreadful, bordering upon useless if you attempt to use them in the normal manner. I'm going to put some sort of white paint on the front one, and call it a day, this is not a long-distance weapon.
The trigger is about 8 pounds, has a long revolver-like pull, and has some jerky bits during its travel. The final break is very crisp and clean however. The combination of the primitive sights, the size of the weapon, and the trigger make this very much a close-range weapon for me. By comparison, I can print decent groups at 25 yards with the Walter TPH, Walther PPK, or SIG P232, whereas I was getting 6" groups with the LCP. Some part of this is likely an interaction between it being a new gun, the short sight radius, and my new bifocals :-)
It only comes with one magazine, and they don't seem to be really shipping spare magazines yet in any volume.
By comparison to all the other pocket/mouse guns I experiment with: J-frame, PPK, SIG P232, Walther PPS, Walther TPH, Glock 26 - this one is a quantum level smaller - it hides in your pocket with almost no sign or feeling that it is there. It feels more like having a Spyderco Endura in your pocket than a gun. This is truly a toss-in-your-pocket pistol, and gives you 7 shots of .380 ACP ready to go. The main downside for me compared to the others is that it will not be as useful at longer ranges - the Walther TPH, for instance, I'd be perfectly happy carrying hiking as a kit gun for rabbit/squirrel action, this Ruger is much more limited. It also cannot be fired from within the pocket with nearly as good a result as the J-frame.
The LCP has removed any lingering desire I have to pick up a Seecamp or Rohrbaugh - this is small enough for my deep-concealment desires, costs < $300, and seems very reliable and unfussy so far.
If you need/want something very small and concealable, and can accept a .380 ACP, it's well worth checking this little fellow out.

Year 2006 (49 years later)
There was a faint sound of crushing gravel as the little blue car pulled to a stop in the small parking lot. An aging man got out of the drivers side. He was extremely tall and well built for his age, and his hair was cut short and in varying shades of gray. A thick matching moustache adorned his slender, kindly face. Square glasses were perched on his nose. He reached back into the car, pulled out a simple mahogany cane, and with its help made his way over to the other side of the car.
He opened the passenger door and helped a young girl out of the car. This girl was fifteen years old, and skinny and straight as a twig. Her face was also slender like the mans, albeit much younger and more feminine. Shoulder length, sunflower blonde hair was swept up into a ponytail. She wore a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans, with flip-flops on her feet. Her hands were covering her eyes.
She half-stumbled out of the car, still keeping her eyes shut and covered.
Ok, you can open your eyes now Maddy, the old man said finally.
The girl moved her hands slowly to reveal big, sky blue eyes. She scanned what was in front of her, and a big smile slowly stretched across her face.
They were standing in front of a small building with white siding. A small flowerpot rested on the windowsill outside, and there was a friendly Welcome! sign on the door. Above the door was another sign that read Mapleview Animal Shelter.
Maddys eyes sparkled happily. She looked up at the man.
Really, Grandpa? she asked quietly.
The old man nodded happily, and Maddy bounded towards the door. She was so excited she could hardly contain it, the smile on her face stretching from ear to ear.
A bell above the door gave a small, cheery jingle as it opened and Maddy walked inside. The front office was small, but in a cozy kind of way. An empty reception desk sat on the far side of the room, and a few mismatched chairs were scattered along the apple red walls. There were several posters with phrases such as Adopt Me! and Take Me Home Today! on them.
Maddy wondered what sort of pet she should get. She already had it narrowed down to a cat or a dog, and was quickly weighing the pros and cons of each. Dogs were friendly and playful and easier to train, but required a lot more attention and were often slobbery and messy. A cat would be able to take care of mice and were quieter and cleaner, but cats dont usually like to cuddle or play as much as a dog. Such a decision!
As these thoughts were rolling through Maddys head, a man suddenly came through the door behind the desk. A warm smile appeared on his face when he saw Maddy, but Maddy instantly looked down at the floor when she saw him.
Hello young lady! the man greeted her. Are you here to adopt, or just look today?
Maddy stared at her toes as she fumbled for an answer. Her mind seemed to have gone blank all of a sudden, and she instantly went into panic mode. Um
. Uh
Im here
. Her eyes shifted back and forth.
Another ring of the bell above the door was her savior as her grandfather walked in. She was instantly half-hiding behind him, still not making eye contact with the confused man behind the desk.
He asked if we were adopting or just looking today, she whispered in his ear.
Her grandfather nodded knowingly and approached the man behind the desk. Maddy was still half-walking, half-hiding behind him, eyes shifting between the floorboards and the man.
Hey, howre ya doing? her grandfather cheerily asked the man as they shook hands.
None too shabby, none too shabby
the man returned, clearly glad to be rid of the awkward moment between him and Maddy. Sorry to have kept your girl waiting here, I was just helping a few boys in the back. What can I help you with today?
Maddys grandpa rested his hands on her shoulders. Well, were hoping we can find Maddy here a friend.
Ahh, then youve come to the right place! Lord knows these critters need a friend as well. The man smiled at Maddy, who finally managed a to offer tiny smile back.
The man motioned towards the hallway he came from. If you go down this hallway, youll find the cats in the room on the left and dogs on the right. Let me know if you find one you like, ok?
Maddy nodded shyly and started speed walking down the hall. She was really relieved to be by herself, half because she wanted time to pick out her pet, and half because she was able to get away from that stranger.
Back in the waiting room, Maddys grandpa sighed and shook his head. Im really sorry about that, he told the man. Shes just shy and doesnt have very good
social skills
for some reason. Its been that way since elementary school. Thats actually why were here. Im hoping a pet will help her to open up a bit.
The man waved it off. Hey, dont worry about it. Not everyone can be the worlds biggest extrovert, right? Anyway, Im sure a pet will do her a world of good if its a friend she needs.
Maddys grandpa sighed again and looked down the hallway at Maddys diminishing form. Yeah. That girl really does need a friend... he mumbled sadly.
Maddy entered the room on the left, the one with the cats. Instantly a barrage of meows and purrs hit her full force. She couldnt believe how many cats there were! There must have been over 30 cats in that room! Each one had its own cage, which were stacked up on top of each other along the walls. Cats of every kind were there: fluffy, shorthaired, spotted, striped, white, black
Maddy didnt even know where to begin looking. But she figured the left side was as good a place as any to start.
As she looked through the cats, she quickly found out that choosing a pet was harder than it looks. Each cat is so adorable! And I havent even got to the dogs yet! How will I be able to narrow my choice down to one? she thought as she looked at each one. Occasionally she stuck her fingers into the cages to try to pet a particularly cute kitty. One eagerly licked her finger. Maddy giggled gleefully at the rough texture of the tongue.
She finished up with the cat room, and made a list of her favorites in her head. Heading into the dog room, she noticed that she wasnt alone. Three boys about her age were all gathered around a small pen in the center of the room. Maddy couldnt see what was in the pen, but she decided to avoid the boys if she could. So she started making her way around the outside of the room, where all the dogs were kept in one long unit surrounding the room.
This room was considerably noisier than the cat room. If a dog wasnt barking, it was panting, growling, or whining. Most of them came bounding up to Maddy on the other side of the cage, sticking their noses through the wire and pining for attention. Maddy tried her best to give each of them a pat on the head and beamed when their tails wagged in response. Already she was beginning to lean towards the dogs instead of the cats.
Suddenly a loud, ear-piercing yelp made her jump and wheel around. She found the source of the noise in the hands of one of the boys, and also discovered what was in the small pen in the middle of the room.
There were about seven golden retriever puppies in the pen, all about eight weeks old. Most of them were playing with each other, but one of them was being held by the scruff of the neck. He didnt seem to be enjoying it at all. Maddy watched as the boy grabbed onto one of the puppys ears and pulled it outward like Dumbos.
Look, its Batdog! the boy exclaimed. The other boys laughed, oblivious to the puppys whining and squirming.
Maddy hesitated, then slowly approached the boy with the puppy and tapped his shoulder. Um
I dont think
you should holditlikethat
Maddy barely breathed out the last few words.
Oh come on, the boy said impatiently. Were just having a bit of fun. Now get lost, will you?
Maddy thought for a minute, then slowly backed away. The last thing she wanted was a fight, and besides, it wasnt like the puppy was going to die, right? Let the boys have their fun
So she went back to looking at the older dogs.
Look, I can make him be Superman! she heard the boy say behind her. She turned to see the puppy being held with his forelegs and back legs held out like Superman and being flown through the air with swooshing noise effects by the boy. The puppy was whining softly.
Maddy turned away, trying to calm the small bubble of anger in her chest. Im sure the boys will go away soon
Dont start something with them
Its not worth it
But as she continued her way around the room, looking at dogs along the way, the puppys small yelps and whimpers slowly made that bubble grow bigger. Like a snowball down a hill, the more the puppy whimpered, the angrier Maddy felt. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, trying to calm herself down. Its not worth it, its not worth it, its not wor-
All of a sudden the puppy let out a series of ear-piercing yelps, the loudest it had made. The bubble in Maddys chest reached its breaking point and burst.
And before Maddy knew what she was doing, she ran up to the boy with the puppy and shouted, her voice shrilly, I SAID YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT LIKE THAT! And in one swift motion she shoved him to the ground.
She reached down and snatched the still-whimpering puppy from him, cradling it against her chest. What the hell?! the boy shouted. What gives?!
But Maddy was suddenly silent, looking between the retriever puppy and the boy, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Had she really just done that? Her, Maddy? Her blue eyes were wide as plates. Then she suddenly ran from the room before the boy could get to his feet.
Hey! Get back here! the boy shouted. Maddy ignored him and ran back out to the first room, where her grandpa and the other man were waiting. Their faces turned to mild shock when they saw Maddys wide eyes and the puppy in her arms.
Therere boys back there and one of them was holding this puppy wrong and he was whimpering and hurting and so I pushed him down and took the puppy away and its not my fault! She gasped for air, having said that sentence very fast and in one breath.
Her grandpa and the man looked at each other in confusion for a moment, but then the three boys from the dog room came out, each looking mad as a rabid hound.
Maddy instantly scurried behind her grandfather, still holding the puppy. Thats them. The boy in the middle was the one hurting the puppy, she mumbled softly, pointing at them from behind her grandpa.
The man looked at the three boys sternly. Is that true, boys?
I wasnt hurting it! It was just a bit of fun! the boy growled. Sure, it was whining a bit but
The man held up his hand to silence the kid. Thats enough. I think its time you boys left, dont you think? He motioned towards the door. His eyebrows were furrowed and a frown was on his face.
The three boys all looked at each other for a moment, then the one in the middle scoffed. Fine. It wasnt much fun here anyway. They all silently slinked out the door and down the gravel road.
The man sighed and rubbed the inner corners of his eyes. Those boys wont be coming back here again, Ill be sure of that. Thank you, Maddy. You did the right thing, he said gently.
Maddy smiled and looked down at the puppy in her arms. His fur was reddish brown, darker than most retrievers. He looked back up at her with deep, round eyes the color of chocolate. They were sparkling.
She brought him up to her face to get a better look, holding him under the armpits. He gave a happy little bark and licked her nose. She giggled softly.
Well, are you going to go back and look some more? her grandpa asked.
Maddy stared at the puppy a little more, scrunching up her lips as she thought. Then she finally said, Nope, I like this one.
The man behind the desk smiled. He reached under the desk and pulled out a few papers. Alright young lady. Ill just need you to sign here, and Ill also need your guardian to sign too.
Maddy handed her new puppy over to the man as she signed her full name: Maddy Toddson.
She handed the pen over to her grandfather and he signed his own name: William Toddson.
And Im sorry to put you on the spot like this, but youll have to think of a name for him right now so I can put it on his papers, the man said as he took the signed papers back.
Maddy was a little taken aback. She had been so busy thinking about what animal she should get that naming it never even crossed her mind! She quickly scanned the room, looking for inspiration. Flowerpot, chair, desk, poster
None of them were even remotely good names, or even names at all. Then her eyes came across the nametag pinned to the mans plaid shirt.
It read: Hello, my name is Riley.
Riley, she said softly, slowly, listening to how it sounded out loud. Yeah, Riley. Thats his name.
The man behind the desk raised an eyebrow and chuckled. Maddy flushed and quickly blurted out, Im sorry, I can change it if you want
No, no. I think Rileys a nice name, the man said a bit smugly. Im just glad you didnt choose a showy name like PopTart's Momentary Lapse of Reason Concrete Hullabaloo. That got a shy chuckle out of Maddy.
The man handed the papers to Grandpa William, gave Maddy her puppy, and sent them on their way with a friendly wave. I hope you and your new friend enjoy many wonderful years together, he called warmly.
Out in the parking lot, Maddy was scratching Riley on the top of his head when she noticed something sparkle in the gravel. She looked down and saw a necklace. She had seen it before, but it was always on her grandpas person. Most of the necklace was silver, but within a small cage hanging off the chain was a small gem. It appeared to be a perfectly round opal, but it was the most beautiful opal Maddy had ever seen. Depending on the light, it appeared to contain all the colors known to man and more. It truly was remarkable.
Maddy picked it up and brought it over to her grandpa, who was unlocking the car. You dropped your necklace, Grandpa, she told him, holding it out in her hand.
Her grandpa instantly went stiff. His eyes widened slightly and he snatched the necklace from Maddy fast as lightning. He turned around and seemed to whisper something to it, but Maddy couldnt make out the words. After putting the necklace in his pocket, Grandpa William turned back to Maddy, who cringed, thinking she did something bad.
Instead his expression softened. He made a small smile and said, Thank you, Maddy. That wouldve been bad if wed left it here. But Im going to have to ask you not to touch that necklace again, ok? I
I think its best if I just hang on to it.
Maddy was a bit confused, but nodded slowly, agreeing not to touch the strange necklace again.
Soon the incident was forgotten as they made their way back home in their little blue car. But now they had a new member of the family. William hoped dearly that he would be a good influence to Maddy. But as he saw her laughing and scratching Rileys tummy in the passenger seat, he smiled. He didnt think he had anything to worry about.

Belgian Feast Year 2009
It will be an especially festive year for the Belgian Royal family. The festivities started with the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of King Albert I's death, and the 100th anniversary of his accession to the throne, on February 17.
Then there is the golden wedding anniversary of King Albert II and Queen Paola on 2 July. As everyone knows, this marriage knew its ups and downs. Both spouses had extra-marital affairs, and at one point the couple was on the verge of a divorce. But, against all odds, they did stay together, and on the whole, there are not that many couples looking so endearing as the Belgian King and Queen.
The fall brings more celebrations for the Belgian Royals, as Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz celebrate their silver wedding anniversary on 22 September.
And this is not the end of the wedding celebrations. Last, but certainly not least, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary on 4 December.
Apart from all those wedding anniversaries, there's also one very special birthday. On 6 June, King Albert will celebrate his 75th birthday.

Trauma is an almost unknown speed metal group that back in 1984 released this very good CD. Playing old speed metal they took influences from early Exciter and Anthrax (the voice is incredible similar to Belladonna one!); the speed is very high as it should be in this genre and the opener is a good example of that. The solos are shredded and the refrain is very catchy, while the drums are restless.
The following "Bringin' The House Down" is pure early 80s power/speed, great! I love that sound, made of pure passion and sweat without too smart arrangements and, most of all, without computers! The tempo in this song is more hard rock style and the refrain is always catchy. Often the vocals are in falsetto, and extremely well done, not excessively high in tonality. "Kill For Less" is mid-paced but extremely good with great solos.
After two mid-paced tracks (extremely good) it's time for the title track to bring some violence with some stop and go and the obscure refrain. The guitars here are more complex in their parts with a great solo at 2:27 with lots of tremolos and strange effects. An obscure arpeggio and odd spoken parts introduce us to "The Warlock" song, a damn fast one! Everything is in pure speed style and here the vocals are even more melodic.
"Lay Low" is total hard rock in its tempo parts and for some guitar parts but, going on, the song increases in speed during the solo to return almost mid-paced after. "In The End" starts as a semi-ballad (very good melodies) continuing in pure speed style with awesome solos during the end. "We Are Watching You" is again mid paced/ hard rock style. It's incredible how you can breath the true 80s air in those songs…
The final "The Flight Of The Raven" is obscure in its melody made of arpeggios and solos at the beginning. The vocals are evocative and suffered. At 2:00 an up tempo beaks the gloomy atmosphere but after we return to the arpeggio and again to up tempo. This is a very good song, based on the balance of obscure parts with few faster ones.
Well, I must say that this is a good album of pure power/speed metal and it's recommended to anyone who likes this genre. The only thing is dislike is the presence of few up tempo songs that surely deserved more attention; but anyway this is only a personal opinion.
On the visual surface with their puny title, name, and sleeve combo, CA's Trauma could've easily been overdressed in overcolored Crue-ish tatters, handed a lite beer, and then enlisted in the time's rock hard regime. Seriously, the triune of fundamentals listed above almost made this lp appear as a no-brain butt rocker, and with but a look it could've been buy or die or nay and go away depending on the peruser. If you hadn't flipped the record over for the leather-clad band snapshot, this lp could've wound up fending for itself amongst the hairspray cans of some unsuspecting buyers. However, within the periphery of the cover's predictable, fleeing-the-scarlet-depths motif, there is the extension of its unforgiving stone walls. At least this was my impression upon my first glimpses of the jacket. Of course, from the eye of the cover's original idea, the walls probably mean nothing outside the obvious, but my occasionally far-fetched symbolism saw the five-piece's sound (the escapee) pushing the 'rocky' stairwell apart i.e. pushing boundaries/limitations. Simultaneously, he's getting the hell out of the commercial rock/metal abyss. I mean, jeez, it's '84, and the tide was turning, so let me have my little high hope even if I myself, while listening to this thing spin, saw that my dinky daydream was all baloney.
Yeah, Trauma shoved a bit, but were never overpowering. Best known for entertaining bassist Cliff Burton somewhere along the line, Scratch and Scream divulges chunks of traditionalism layered with a desire for medium-strength speed metal and transient power metal cleanliness. Unfortunately, aside from spicy opener "The Day all Hell Broke Loose", a lot of taste is missing from the whole thing.
"The Day all Hell Broke Loose" is your cutting edge icebreaker, veined in the forerunning, accelerated spirit of "Let it Loose" from Savage's Loose 'n Lethal and "Dutch Connection" at the front of Jaguar's Power Games attack and is easily the most driven of the lp's gang. From here on things slide slowly downhill, starting near the top of the peak with lightly above average "Bringin' the House Down" and gradually loses footing with "I Kill for Less" and the title cut, a pair of tracks equal in nondescript trad-metal trance to side two's "In the End" and "We are Watching You". Even the finale, a drawn out, patchwork quasi-ballad called "The Flight of the Raven", captures little catchiness or intrigue and sounds thrown together without much primer. Other than that, it's the responsibility of "Lay Low" and "The Warlock" to keep the effort real (or at least worthwhile), and with a decent amount of muscle they strain to keep the nine-songer shoulders above water only barely.
Most important in this lp's gradual erosion is its lack of songwriting grit. Without being memorable or interesting, riffs and structures sputter somewhere near the lower half of the excitement barrel, and most renowned Shrapnel virtuosity stares vacantly at these tracks. Then there's Donny Hillier, a characterless singer going at it with fairly high, constricted notes and a demeanor that rushes them to somewhat annoying levels, yet contrarily, they're not even sung that quickly. Together, these wayward essentials are partners in the crime that sucked Scratch and Scream fairly dry.
Average is a mild gloss verdict for this disk.
Fun fact 9845.5a: a pre-Chastain Leather Leone sits in the rear for some backing vocal action, not that you'd ever know it.

Scottish writing has a distinguished position in the pantheon of world literature, through the Scottish poets, novelists, short story writers, philosophers, screenwriters, playwrights, storytellers, song makers, scientists, historians and biographers.
A history steeped in literature
From heroic epics to poignant tragedy, early Scottish literature was dominated by poetry and in particular, John Barbour (c.1320-1395), Scottish poet and the first major named literary figure to write in Scots.
Perhaps the best known figure in Scottish literature internationally is Robert Burns (1759-1796), our national Bard, whose work is celebrated worldwide with Burns Suppers on 25 January each year. Regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns' work includes A Red, Red Rose,Tam O'Shanter, and Ae Fond Kiss, not to mention Auld Lang Syne which is sung at Hogmanay.
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), recognised in Europe as the creator of the modern historical novel, was the first British novelist to become a famous public figure, pioneering a new type of romantic historiography. His novels, ballads, poems and other writings have been translated into almost every major world language and the world's largest monument to an author sits in Edinburgh, commemorating this Scottish author's life and work.
Scotland's writers
The list of acclaimed contemporary Scottish writers of fiction, poetry and plays reads a little like a Who's Who of literature: James Kelman, A L Kennedy, Ali Smith, Jackie Kay, Kate Atkinson, Iain Banks, Janice Galloway, Liz Lochhead, Alasdair Gray, Gregory Burke, Irvine Welsh, Andrew O'Hagan, James Robertson, Don Paterson, Kathleen Jamie, Douglas Dunn, Edwin Morgan, John Burnside…the list goes on.
Carol Ann Duffy, the UK's Poet Laureate, hails from Glasgow and world-famous authors Alexander McCall Smith (No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series), Ian Rankin (Rebus series) and JK Rowling (Harry Potter series) all live and work in Edinburgh.
Other novelists associated with Edinburgh who have made a particularly strong impact around the world include: James Hogg (The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner), Sir Walter Scott (Waverley series), Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde), JM Barrie (Peter Pan), Kenneth Grahame (The Wind in the Willows), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes series), RM Ballantyne (The Coral Island), John Buchan (The Thirty-Nine Steps) and Muriel Spark (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie).

A group of 20 ice-house shanties has become a makeshift community offering an interactive art experience on frozen Medicine Lake in Plymouth.
More than 150 years after statehood, there are still territories to be conquered in Minnesota.
The modern-day settlers at the Art Shanty Projects have creatively taken over frozen Medicine Lake in Plymouth. For four weekends (through next Sunday), a group of 20 ice-house shanties has become a makeshift community offering an interactive art experience.
The concept was created by local artists David Pitman and Peter Haakon Thompson in 2004.
"It's like having a fort for adults to hang out in," said Thompson, suggesting that the novelty of the setting helps attract visitors.
Within the borders of Shantytown, there's transportation by bicycles decked out with an ice skate instead of a front wheel and a daily Shantyquarian newspaper. At town meetings, laws outlawing grumpiness and instituting a 30-minute workday have been passed.
The enforcement of those decrees falls to on-ice coordinators Kelsey Nelsen and Alicia Dvorak of the Department of Everything Else. They issue citizenship cards, SSNs (special shanty numbers) and administer first aid. Without electricity, the two have found that tasks such as cooking oatmeal for breakfast take hours. Nelsen greets guests to their toasty shanty with: "Welcome to Shantytown, where the streets are paved in ice, everything is possible and all things are probable."
Now that's the pioneer spirit!

Those are the two most common requests, she told him, and she can't grant either.
Jones, a retired organic chemist from Brooklyn Park, said he's confident he's in full "control of his faculties," but he enjoys the visits anyway. "This could be kind of down place if nobody came and nobody talked to you," he said.
Patients don't have to participate, but few turn it down, Duncan says. Methodist recently expanded it to almost all units of the hospital.
Shorter stays
The results, Desai says, have been "pretty impressive." In a 2011 study of nearly 1,000 patients 70 and older, Methodist found that only 2.5 percent of those in the HELP program developed delirium, compared to 8 percent in a control group.
Another hospital — the Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff, Wis. — reported even more dramatic results at a conference last week hosted by Minnesota's Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement. It found that the HELP program reduced the average hospital stay for elderly patients by nearly a full day and cut their fall rate to almost zero.
One reason, Desai said, is that delirious patients take longer to recover. Delirium makes it harder, for example, to do physical or occupational therapy and "get them stronger to get out of the hospital."
Delirium isn't just an inconvenience, says Dr. Fred Rubin, a geriatric specialist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who has collaborated on the national HELP program. It not only makes people weaker, he said, but it can take months for people to fully recover — if ever.
"Every hospital ought to do this," he said. "But it's a culture change, and it's a financial commitment." Although it runs on volunteers, he notes, the hospitals need staff to coordinate and train them.
At Methodist, Desai said, they know they can't prevent delirium entirely. But if they can spot it early, they can intervene sooner. Either way, she said, "you're really going to have better outcomes."

Tim Ogden, City Manager
Tim Ogden became the City of Waterford City Manager on May 23, 2011, and the City Council recently renewed his employment contract through June 30, 2018. He has become well acquainted with the community and formed partnerships to continue to make the City the best it can become. His vision for Waterford through implementing the City Council's policies includes enhancing the image of the community to make it more enticing to prospective residents and businesses, and better utilizing its financial opportunities for significant river park land improvements, road maintenance, balanced enterprise systems, and economic development. Government transparency, fiscal prudence, and a 'can do' attitude are traits that Tim brings to the City.
Recently, the long-planned for City Hall was finally constructed and opened in January 2013, the downtown district was significantly renovated with a $1,500,000 federal grant resulting in new community events, and a commercial vacancy rate cut in half. Additionally, this year $1,900,000 in financing was obtained for three solar projects and nearly 400 LED streetlight retrofits with the financing paid by the saving realized from the improvements, and a $1,500,000 grant was obtained from the State for the river parkway improvements with construction planned for spring 2014, and completion late 2015. Currently, efforts are underway to obtain the Waterford water system from neighboring Modesto, construct a skatepark, and support the revived Chamber of Commerce after a decade's long slumber to strengthen the business community.
Tim currently serves as the Vice-Chair of the Management & Finance Committee of City Manager's to StanCOG, ex-officio member of the Waterford Chamber of Commerce, and a board member of the Stanislaus Animal Services Agency.
Previous to working for Waterford, Tim worked at the City of Riverbank as the Director of Economic Development & Housing, and has also worked at the cities of Modesto and Ceres working in economic development, public information, and finance over the previous 8 years. He has served on the board of directors for two Chambers of Commerce, Chaired the Stanislaus County Economic Development Action Committee, and been recognized for award winning community projects.
Tim's education includes a Masters of Business Administration and previous to his government service, he worked in human resources and program management for a youth correctional facility. He has lived in Canada, Greece, Italy and six other states, and has been a resident of California since 2001 with his loving and patient wife and their three sons and daughter. He enjoys dating his wife, participating in his kid's sporting and Cub/Boy Scout activities, serving in his church, following national and state politics, and playing basketball and running while he still can.
Under policy direction, the City Manager serves as the chief administrative officer of the City of Waterford, and directs the activities and operations of the Public Works, City Clerk, Police Services, Planning & Engineering, Parks & Recreation and Finance departments. He advises and assists the City Council in the conduct of City business; provides administrative oversight to recommending and implementing policies, program planning, fiscal management, administration, and provides a variety of other responsible and complex administrative support to the City Council.
The City Manager serves as the Executive Director of the Waterford Public Financing Authority, and doubles as the Finance Director and Parks & Recreation Director. He attends and participates in professional, state/local agency, and community meetings as necessary; stays current on issues relative to public administration and relative service delivery responsibilities; responds to and resolves sensitive and complex community and organizational inquiries, issues and complaints; establishes and maintains a customer service orientation within the City organization.
Above all, the City Manager works with and is impressed with the dedication of the elected officials on the City Council, the tireless city and community non-profit volunteers, and the wonderful team of diligent city workers who defy typical government stereotypes and do so much for the community.
Tim belongs to the International City/County Management Association and their mission is to create excellence in local governance by developing and fostering professional local government management worldwide. To further this mission, certain principles govern the conduct of every member of ICMA, which are summarized in the Code of Ethics 12 Tenets:

The City of Everett's first sewers were constructed in 1890, three years before Everett was incorporated. In 1897, the construction of the citywide system began in north Everett. This north portion of the system is combined, carrying stormwater and sanitary sewage to the Everett Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF). With population growth, the system expanded to the south. The south portion of the system is sanitary sewage only.
Today, the wastewater system serves more than 136,000 people, conveying sewage through approximately 345 miles of sewer mains, interceptors, laterals, and 29 lift stations to the EWPCF. Everett also treats a portion of the sewage from three neighboring sewer systems: Mukilteo Water and Wastewater District, Alderwood Water and Wastewater District and Silver Lake Water and Sewer District. The system plays a vital role in protecting public health. It also protects rivers, lakes and streams from pollutants and minimizes harmful impacts to the natural environment.
The EWPCF is located on Smith Island in north Everett. It has two parallel wastewater treatment systems, which provide secondary (biological) treatment with disinfection. The trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) system is a mechanical plant, which treats up to 21 million gallons per day (MGD). The aeration/oxidation ponds, or lagoon system, treats the wastewater flows not treated and discharged by the TF/SC plant and provides storage capacity for storm flows from the combined sewage system. Discharge of effluent from the two treatment systems is through two separate outfalls.
In the past, all EWPCF discharge was to the Snohomish River. Since 2005, TF/SC discharges to a marine deep-water outfall in Port Gardner Bay shared with the City of Marysville. A plant expansion completed in 2007 increased the EWPCF total hydraulic capacity to 36.3 MGD.
Each person contributes about 50 to 100 gallons of used water each day to the wastewater flow. Sewer lines carry wastewater from sinks, showers, washing machines, streets and gutters and industries. Since 2007, there has been an increase in organic loading to the EWPCF, which will require adding treatment capacity in the near future to remain in compliance with environmental regulations.

The beloved honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, is clinging to life after an attempted assassination — by a dog.
Mayor Stubbs, who happens to be a cat, has been the honorary mayor of Talkeetna for the past 16 years. On Saturday, he had a "really bad encounter" with a dog while he was making his usual rounds through town, his owner, Lauri Stec, told ABCNews.com today.
"He's going to be in the hospital for a while," Stec said. "His injuries were pretty bad."
The feline politician endured a 4- to 5-inch gash deep enough to expose his organs, a punctured lung and fractured sternum.
"He's doing well. He's on heavy medication for pain. The next few days are crucial," she said. "He's holding his own."
Stec said she was eager and excited to see Stubbs Thursday for the first time since she dropped him off, and was surprised at the outpouring of well-wishes and donations from all over the world.
She said that after she has covered the veterinary bill, she would donate the rest of the money to an animal shelter in Palmer, Alaska.
"It's been really awesome," she said of the worldwide support. "It's a wonderful thing."
