26 Ideas to Dress Up Your Deck
Focus on furniture [1]
Select one special piece of furniture and place it where it achieves focal point status. Even one high-impact piece will make the rest of your deck furnishings feel less utilitarian. This set blends sleek, sophisticated lines with relaxation and stands up to heavy use and weather.
Get comfy with cushions [4]
A collection of bright and cushy pillows will give your deck indoor-worthy style. Whether you add pillows to outdoor chairs or provide them for guests who prefer to lounge along the edge of the deck, they'll help you reiterate your deck's decorating scheme. Choose outdoor fabrics in cheery coordinating colors for easy-to-sew pillow covers; spray with a washable protectant to help them shrug off moisture and stains.
Add water [7]
Bring the tranquil sounds of water to your deck with a water feature, such as a fountain powered by a recirculating pump. Or create a soothing water garden in a pot or nearby raised bed.
Edge with green [11]
Form a living privacy screen with a trio of head-high planters. Start with classy pots (ours are lightweight resin) and add a lush arborvitae to each. Stand the matching plantings side by side along an edge of your deck to gain privacy and put lush greenery within reach.
Hang wall art [14]
Think of your outside walls just like you would think of walls IN your house. Filling blank spots with colorful or conversation-starting art pieces helps your deck feel more personal. This bright and beautiful kite, for instance, adds a colorful note to this stone wall. Hung within easy reach, it's also available for play whenever a breeze stirs. Architectural salvage pieces also make intriguing outdoor art that's weather-hardy.
Plant a container garden [17]
Enhance any outdoor setting with a container garden that combines interesting colors and textures. To make the garden portable, use a lightweight fiberglass pot. The shade-loving group shown here includes polka-dot plant, pink wax begonias, white Torenia and spider plant.
Make a fire bowl [21]
Give your deck the flickering warmth of a personal fire bowl for cozy ambience as twilight approaches. To make the bowl, place a 13-ounce can of clean-burning gel-alcohol fuel in a 10-inch-diameter terra-cotta container. Surround the can's bottom and sides with tumbled recycled glass.
60-Second Video: Outdoor living [24]
Enliven the front of your house with wicker and white furniture, freshen up the backyard patio with colorful dining chairs, or get cozy in front of a stone and brick fireplace.
Color your world [27]
Personalize terra-cotta pots by dry-brushing them with layers of acrylic paints. Using a variety of colors in similar hues will give each pot depth and character. Fill each container with potting mix, tuck in seasonal bedding plants, and water.
Portable screen [31]
Combine a hardworking teak planter and trellis to display flowering annuals at your deck's edge. During the day, prisms in the windowlike latticework refract sunlight; at dusk, tea-light candles cast a romantic glimmer.
Use tiny brads and fishing line to hang the glass prisms. For tea-light lanterns, start with clear, round jars or vases. Wrap 18-gauge wire around the neck of each jar, and wire a handle over the top of the jar. Hang the handles from cup hooks on the trellis, and add tea lights to the jars.
Personalize your shade [34]
Outfit your outdoor room with a hand-painted umbrella that provides portable shelter and custom charm. Anchored in a sturdy base, this tilting sunshade adjusts to block blazing rays throughout the day. See the next slide for how to make this project.
Umbrella how-to [37]
Using masking tape, outline a simple design, such as our aqua sunburst pattern, on the open canvas umbrella, then brush on acrylic fabric paint. When dry, safeguard with a spray coat of fabric protector, such as Scotchgard. Adorn the tips of the umbrella's ribs with "jewelry" made by wiring beads to wooden curtain rings.
Add punch [40]
Pillows, paint and paper lanterns coordinate with the bright colors of the fabric streamers creating privacy for this tiny deck.
Unify the look [43]
The weave of this furniture echoes the lines in the rustic wood fencing beyond. Shots of red in the plants connect with the reddish fabrics.
Vary heights [46]
The bar, barbecue, drink cooler, and plants on the railing and wall elevate the look of this small space. The airy lines of the side table continue the effect. The result is a lots of hardworking items but no sense of clutter.
Add a rug [49]
The zebra-look rug adds spark to an otherwise tradtional look. The rug also visually separates the eating area from conversation area.
Cover with canvas [52]
Canvas creates airy shade for a concrete pad in the corner of a narrow side yard that might otherwise go unused.
Create privacy [55]
A row of evergreens forms a privacy wall for this deck. A couple of green accessories pop in the neutral scene.
Try sparks of color [58]
When neutrals dominate as they do with this wood and metal table, add a spark of color like these bright green resin chairs.
Dramatize the scene [61]
A just-big-enough circle of bricks stuns with its position under a dramatic arch of roses.
Warm with reds [64]
Red furnishings and plantings warm up the look of this deck. The flicker of flames in the black cauldron amps up the heat.
Maximize the view [67]
Positioning these two comfy chairs so they face the view is only smart. Cushions on the bench soften the seat (but you know everyone wants to sit in the chairs).
Use space under decks [70]
Making use of the area under a deck doubles your space for relaxation.
Unify with an arch [73]
An arched canopy links the two structures, provides shade and gives the space an intimate feel.
Timber and stone [76]
A timber-frame loggia featuring columns banded with hammered wrought-iron shades metal farm-style chairs and a teak table. A stone fireplace and brick pavers complete the welcoming dining area.
Keep it simple [79]
A simple brick patio and a small raised area call for other simple pleasures: a basic table, retro-style chairs and a hammock.
Continue colors [82]
Chairs around the table and the fire pit all wear the same color cushions to connect spaces.
Add a pop of color [85]
A bright pop of color is the fastest way to revitalize your deck. Add a firepit in the middle for those cool summer nights and you won't be able to leave the deck all summer.
Stick to a color theme [88]
Focusing on one or two colors adds a unifying feel to your decor. Punchy blue and green deck furnishings brighten up the backyard while not distracting from the scenery itself.
Get on my level [91]
A two-level deck maximizes the space in your backyard. The table and chairs on the top level are shaded by a weatherproof fabric shade sail while the chairs on the patio below are sheltered by the deck.
Wicker ways [94]
Outdoor furnature doesn't have to be metal and uncomfortable. Swap out your old deck chairs for a comfy set of wicker furnature with waterproof cushions. The neutral colors will harmonize with the outdoors and allow your accent pillows to pop.

(CNN) -- Confused about what terms like "local," "green" and "sustainable" mean? You're not the only one trying to weed through it.
Luckily for us, Nate Appleman has an answer or five. He's the Culinary Manager of Chipotle Mexican Grill, a 2009 James Beard Rising Star Chef and a Food & Wine magazine Best New Chef and he's here to clear things up.
"There are a lot of great things happening in food right now as it relates to local and more sustainable. And a lot of food companies that would like for you to think they are part of that," Appleman said.
"When dealing with vague words like 'local' or 'fresh' or 'natural' that have no standard definition, it's important for people to understand what claims are being made, as there are many who try to benefit from using them."
Five Food Words and What They Really Mean - Or Don't: Nate Appleman
1. Local
"Local food is great for a couple of reasons. Food that is raised or produced locally is often fresher and better tasting as it arrives in restaurants or markets very shortly after it is produced, spending less time in transit. For example, most produce in the United States travels some 1,500 miles from where it is grown to where it is served, and that takes time.
But local food also creates and supports opportunities for farmers and food artisans, and that is also important. Buying from local, sustainably minded farmers and food artisans helps contribute to their growth and encourages the next generation of those who will have a respect for the way food is grown, prepared and ultimately consumed."
2. Green
"When I think of green, I think of greenwashing. Apart from describing fresh veggies, green has no real meaning as it relates to food and often seems to be used in an effort to convey some sense of sustainability or environmental responsibility, whether that's real or not."
3. Sustainable
"I think of sustainable food as food that is raised in indigenous areas and in traditional ways --- ways that match natural patterns and systems. Truly sustainable food is hard to do at scale and in a place where we expect the same variety and abundance of food year round and regardless of location.
When looking to purchase sustainable ingredients, look for key terms such as 'naturally raised' and 'hormone free' when selecting meats, 'local' and 'organic' when selecting produce, and 'pasture-raised' when selecting dairy products."
4. Natural
"Natural is another nebulous term. According to the USDA, food is natural if it doesn't contain artificial ingredients or added color and is 'minimally processed.' It doesn't say anything about how the food was raised. When you see words like 'natural,' it's important to understand what that means to the people using the word, as its standard definition doesn't really tell you very much.
Look for products that use the word 'natural' to describe a specific practice - such as naturally raised meats, which come from animals that are raised in a humane way and without the use of antibiotics or added hormones."
5. Fresh
"I think of fresh food as having never been frozen or processed. Fresh is a great place to start, but to really eat the best tasting food you can, fresh isn't enough. You need to understand how animals have been raised and how produce has been grown, as those variables really impact on the quality and taste of the food."

Jewish Minor Fasts 101
In addition to the major public fast days of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) and Tisha B'Av (the Ninth of the month of Av, which commemorates the destruction of the Temples), there are four minor public fast days in the Jewish calendar. The minor fasts last only from dawn until sundown, in distinction to Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, which last 25 hours, from sundown until three stars can be seen in the sky the following night. The minor fast days also are not as restrictive in practice as the major fasts.
Ideas and Beliefs
Most of the minor fasts are connected with the destruction of the Temple. The Seventeenth of Tammuz (Shiva Asar be-Tammuz) commemorates the day on which the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. It marks the beginning of the three weeks of mourning leading up to Tisha B'Av. The Fast of Gedaliah (Tsom Gedaliah) is in memory of the Babylonian appointed governor of Judah, who was assassinated by a fellow Judean following the destruction of the First Temple. It takes place on the day following Rosh Hashanah.
The Tenth of Tevet (Asarah be-Tevet) marks the beginning of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E. The Fast of Esther (Ta'anit Esther) is observed on the day before the joyous holiday of Purim, unless that day is a Sabbath. In fasting on this day, one is emulating the fast of Queen Esther and her fellow Jews before she went to the king to plead on their behalf.

Two restoration projects in the Intermountain Region were selected to receive funding through the 2015 Chiefs' Joint Landscape Restoration Partnership. The additional funding will help the forests meet forest and grassland health goals.
The Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service entered into a multi-year partnership, the Chiefs' Joint Landscape Restoration Partnership, to improve the health and resiliency of forest ecosystems where public and private lands meet across the nation. The vision is to restore landscapes regardless of land ownership, reduce wildfire threats to communities and landowners, protect water quality and supply and improve habitat for at-risk species.
In April 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) decided that listing the greater sage-grouse for protection under the Endangered Species Act was "warranted but precluded." The FWS is going to decide whether the greater sage-grouse should be listed in fiscal year (FY) 2015 based on the court-approved settlement agreement. The settlement agreement requires the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service to include clear objectives and desired habitat conditions, management actions, and area-wide standards and guidelines in the land-use plans and amendments for each involved unit by winter 2015.
The Forest Service employs more than 30,000 permanent employees in hundreds of locations across the country. Forest Service employees focus their skills to manage and improve our nation's forest lands in many ways. Many work in forest and range research, some develop the skills of others at our Job Corps Centers and others provide expertise in State and Private Forestry partnerships across the country. If you are as dedicated to advancing our mission as we are, you should seek job opportunites where your skills are competitive.
Global climate change is altering forest and grassland ecosystems. These lands produce services such as water, clean air, wood products, recreation, wildlife habitats, etc.
The Pando Clone is an aspen stand encompassing approximately 106 acres on the Fishlake National Forest. This clone (based on DNA testing) is thought to be the largest organism in the world.
The Dixie National Forest is the lead forest for three power line projects that will potentially impact all Utah forests. The Forest Service is not the lead agency; BLM is the lead agency.
The Forests to Faucets Project identifies areas that supply surface drinking water, have consumer demand for this water, and are facing significant development threats.

It's time to call it a wrap. The final Twilight movie, The Twilight Saga — Breaking Dawn - Part 2 drops in theaters Nov. 16, and that's it. After this, there will be no more Bella and Edward drama. No more werewolf-vampire battles. Not more bed-breaking vampire sex scenes. And for the actors, no more bonding on set. Hollywood.com catches up with Chaske Spencer, who plays werewolf Sam Uley, and he shares with us what it's like to see the franchise's days coming to a close.
Spencer is going to miss hanging out with his werewolf brothers on set. "It was always good to hang out with them," he says. "We've been together since New Moon, so it was a little sad that it's gone." But Spencer will stay friends with his cast mates. "I'll always keep in contact with them," he says.
And Spencer will always have memories from being on set to keep close to his heart, especially the last day of shooting. "We'd been up all night," Spencer recalls. "It was the wedding scene, [and] we shot all night." This was the first time Spencer ever attempted a night shoot. "At the end, I was really tired," he shares. "I remember they had us put off somewhere in the Cullens' house, and we were all trying to get some sleep between takes, but it's a long process."
While the last day of shooting was tough on Spencer, there were also easier times that he remembers. And there's one specific scene that Spencer feels will draw fans in one last time. "I really enjoy the scene [where] Jacob and Sam unite and want to do battle with the vampires," he teases.
It's these vampires, the Volturi, that pose the biggest threat to Spencer and his wolf pack. "I would say the element of their strength [is the Volturis' biggest threat]," he says. "I don't think Sam's every really encountered those type of vampires. That's something that the character is going to have to keep on his paws [for]."
But at least Spencer was in shape and physically prepared for battle. "I was in a hotel with a gym," he says. "There was also a gym in Squamish that we went to. We were in the gym a lot. [And] I'd do heavy lifting for like an hour."

Thresher memories: Gonic man remembered for losing his life on submarine ... on his 28th birthday
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
GONIC — On April 10, Gerine Lavoie was scrubbing the floors of her Oak Street home in preparation for her husband's 28th birthday party. He never made it.
"His birthday was in April and mine was in May," Gerine says. "He was very well liked. He was a high school athlete, played baseball, basketball and football. They didn't have hockey at Spaulding at that time."
Nicknamed "Moose," he was also president of the student government. He was a commanding figure, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 220 pounds when he began service on the Thresher.
A 1963 Rochester Courier, written shortly after the sinking, quoted Gerine as saying, "He was a submariner, through and through. It was his career and he loved it. He used to talk about joining the Navy even in our going-around days at Spaulding High School."
Wayne was a member of the Shamrock basketball team in the City Church League and was active in 4-H activities, serving as counselor when he was only 16. During his nine years in the Navy, he was awarded the Navy's Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the China Service Medal.Gerine remarried a year and a half after the disaster. She and her second husband, Warren "Bud" Ranagan, had a son, James, together, but divorced after 18 years. Now she spends her winters in Florida and summers in Shapleigh, Maine. She made a special early return for a ceremony in Kittery, Maine marking the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Thresher.The event, held April 6, took place around a newly raised 129-foot flagpole in the center of Memorial Circle on US Route 1, which stands as a permanent memorial to the 129 men who perished in the accident. More than 314 contributors donated $138,000 to the Thresher Memorial Project Group for the symbolic memorial.
Gerine and her children, most of whom attend the Thresher Ceremony every year, were all there for the special 50th anniversary. Her children created a memory board and brought it to the event. Gerine didn't know too many people at the event as Wayne had transferred from the Albacore just weeks before the Thresher disaster. But she did become friends with a few wives who occasionally got together for support after the ordeal.
All, including James, still live in and around Rochester.

Happy 65th Birthday To Steve Winwood!!!
Friday, May 10, 2013
Happy Birthday to Steve Winwood who celebrates his 65th birthday on Sunday (May 12th)!!! Winwood has been a working musician nearly all of his life having joined the Spencer Davis Group band in 1963 at the age of 15. Two years later the band released their debut album, titled Their First LP. Though Spencer Davis led the band, Winwood was the group's unmistakable star, and hits like "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man" established Winwood, then called "Little Stevie Winwood," as one of the most popular singers in Britain, and was often referred to as the "white" Ray Charles.
In 1967, he quit the Spencer Davis Group to form the more experimental Traffic with former Spencer Davis Group roadie Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood. The group released two albums before breaking up. Winwood then hooked up with former Cream members Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker, as well as former Family member Rick Gretch, to form the short-lived supergroup Blind Faith. That band lasted less than a year, after which Winwood reformed Traffic.
By 1977, Traffic had split again and Winwood kicked off a more pop-oriented solo career, racking up numerous hits over the next decade, with such songs as "While You See A Chance," "Talking Back To The Night," "Back In The High Life," "Higher Love," "The Finer Things," "Valerie," "Freedom Overspill" and "Roll With It," among others.
In 2008 Winwood released his first new album in five years, called Nine Lives. The album received good reviews and featured Clapton's guitar work on the lead single "Dirty City."
Winwood has always included new material in his concert setlists, but he promises that he'll never be one of those performers that ignores his classic hits in concert: "I mean, let's not fool ourselves, a part of what I do is what is known as the heritage music business. But I do try and reinvent some of those old songs as well, I mean I do them in the style of band that I've got, so that we get a bit of a world-music slant, which songs like 'Gimme Some Lovin',' 'I'm A Man,' lend themselves to. We do a slightly Latin-ized version of 'Higher Love.'"
In 2009, Winwood and Clapton released the deluxe CD/DVD Clapton & Winwood: Live From Madison Square Garden. The set, which features tracks recorded during the pair's two-date New York City stand in February 2008, includes such favorites from Blind Faith's first and last album, including "Had To Cry Today," "Presence Of The Lord," "Sleeping In The Ground" and "Well, All Right." The duo tears through the Clapton classics "Forever Man", "Cocaine," "Double Trouble" and "After Midnight" -- along with such Winwood and Traffic favorites as "Dear Mr. Fantasy" "Glad," and "Pearly Queen."
In 2011, Winwood released a career-spanning four-CD collection called Revolutions: The Very Best Of Steve Winwood. The set covers Winwood's Grammy-award-winning solo career, along with his work with the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and Traffic.
A single-disc version featured such Winwood classics as "Keep On Running," "Gimme Some Lovin'," "I'm A Man" with the Spencer Davis Group; "Paper Sun," "No Face, No Name, No Number," and "Dear Mr. Fantasy" with Traffic; "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith; as well as his '80s solo hits "While You See A Chance," "Valerie," "Higher Love," "Back In The High Life," "Roll With It" -- and the recent "Dirty City" featuring Clapton from his 2008 Nine Lives collection.
Last year, Winwood's second solo album, 1980's Arc Of A Diver, was given the deluxe reissue treatment including a second bonus disc including rare tracks, along with the BBC Radio 2 documentary entitled Arc Of A Diver: The Steve Winwood Story.
Steve Winwood's next North American date will be on August 23rd while opening for the Allman Brothers Band at Darien Center, New York's Darien Lake Performing Arts Center. Winwood will open for Rod Stewart during his fall tour later this year.

is a 6-5-4 to warm?
hey i got one more question, if you wear a 4-3 wetsuit then a 1 mm thermals under it will it work like a 5-4 wetsuit?

You're kidding. . . right? Better wear a life jacket so you can still float.
I wore a 4/3 with polyolefin thermals on Saturday in Jersey for 3 hours and never really got cold. Of course the air was almost 50, but the water was 43. I have a 6/4 for REALLY cold days, but would rather have a 5/4/3. A 3/2 and 5/4/3 will get you through the whole year. Add in a 4/3 for the transition and days when the air is warmer when you have the money. The 4/3 is definitely worth the added flexibility when you don't HAVE to wear the 5/4/3.

On really mild days, I wear a GBS and taped 4/3 and I am fine. Maybe I'll throw a long sleeved rashguard and shorts under it if it's breezy out.
On cooler days, I have a 17oz. polyofelin skin with brushed fleece that I wear underneath it. It fits like a second skin, and offers the same bulk as a thicker mm wetsuit. I've been in the water for up to 4 hours on days where there are very gusty offshores with low air temps.
And no - I don't need a life jacket to float with it on.
I paid about $80 for the skin, and I have a Rip Curl 4/3. I really like Rip Curl suits.

One of the key internal threats to corporates is spyware, because its all too often introduced without malicious intent, by employees that naively click through a couple of pop-up browser windows, or install an unapproved yet cool application on the network.

Local quilters once again covered the nationŌĆÖs troops with love from home by sending another Quilts of Valor care package to soldiers overseas.
Several members of the Calico Quilters Guild recently made quilts for wounded service members being treated at an Army base in Germany as part of their desire to let the troops know people at home still care.
The quilters have been providing this service for more than a decade.
ŌĆ£We started in ŌĆÖ02 with the invasion in Afghanistan and we never imagined we would still be doing it. Some of us have grown old,ŌĆØ said Guild member Marty Voght, letting her words trail off. ŌĆ£There was a period in Iraq when the demand was incredible with thousands (of troops) behind the lines.ŌĆØ
Each year, the nationwide Quilts of Valor Foundation chooses a destination. Once a batch of quilts is completed, Calico Quilters Guild Chairperson Margi Duffy sends a request-to-mail to the foundation. The request must also specify the number of quilts and the pattern themes, which might be branch of military, gender-specific or patriotic, i.e., red, white and blue, she added.
The guildŌĆÖs latest Quilts of Valor shipment was sent to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. Army facility in Germany.
Calico Quilters received an official letter of gratitude that extended Landstuhl personnelŌĆÖs ŌĆ£most heartfelt thanks ŌĆ" It is always a delight to see the smiles on our soldiers when they are given a quilt of their very own to keep (that) symbolizes the love and appreciation thatŌĆÖs coming from home ŌĆ" Many military and government dignitaries and celebrities who come to visit our patients ŌĆ" have expressed their appreciation for the program and the indisputably positive impacts of your kindness for the support you devote to our women and men in service,ŌĆØ states the Oct. 25 letter.
ŌĆ£The stories that come out of it make us want to quilt all the more. (The soldiers) are so touched that they are still remembered here at home, they fall to their knees,ŌĆØ said Duffy.
Creating the Quilts of Valor is a true labor of love, a year-round ŌĆ£informal, cooperative venture,ŌĆØ said Voght, that involves many of the guildŌĆÖs 70 members; many of the quilts are the result of group efforts and some are even individual efforts.
Throughout the year, the quilters make blocks of red, white and blue at home which they bring to meetings, explained Voght. Some quilters then create the tops, others sew the three-layered quilts together and others bind them.
ŌĆ£We have foundation guidelines,ŌĆØ explained Duffy. Each quilt must be 50 by 60 inches, made of 100 percent top-quality cotton and bear a ŌĆ£From Calico Quilters GuildŌĆØ label. Finally, Duffy makes sure they are free of lint, threads and hair before shipping them off. Upon arrival, added Duffy, the quilts are blessed by military chaplains.
The Quilt of Valor Foundation website suggests ŌĆ£block patterns we can use but itŌĆÖs our choice,ŌĆØ said Duffy. Voght added, ŌĆ£We have made specific block patterns at times. At one time, we did a lot of friendship star patterns.ŌĆØ On occasion, the quilters will receive a request for a gender-specific pattern since some of the soldiers are women, so ŌĆ£sometimes we send something flowery.ŌĆØ
The Calico artisans also make a presentation bag for each quilt so the troops have something to put their personal possessions in as they transition from one hospital to another. Duffy said that a Round Valley School sewing group joined in last year, donating additional presentation bags.
The guild participates in good quilting deeds at home, too. Voght listed a few: a Slim Princess quilt for Laws Railroad MuseumŌĆÖs 150th anniversary; an annual scholarship for Bishop Union High School students; baby quilts sent, ongoingly, to Camp Pendleton MarinesŌĆÖ children; Mule Days quilt show every two years; and childrenŌĆÖs quilts and canvas bookbags for the Altrusa jamboree.
ŌĆ£We try to be more than just a group of women who get together to sew. We try to be a service organization,ŌĆØ said Voght.
ŌĆ£Since the inception (of our participation in Quilts of Valor), we have sent over 250 quilts which is quite amazing considering how small a group we are,ŌĆØ said Duffy. ŌĆ£As long as we are at war, we are still quilting. We would love to not have to, though, because that would mean all our soldiers are home and safe.ŌĆØ
For more information, contact Duffy at (760) 873-6147.

Airport authorities found themselves chasing a wiener dog across the runway when he escaped from a plane while being transported.
Newark Liberty International Airport officials said a dachshund named Henry escaped from a Lufthansa plane while it was being unloaded and ran around the tarmac for more than an hour before he was located by officers, the New York Post reported. Port Authority Police cornered the pup by an airfield fence, but were unable to get him into custody.
The dog's owner was eventually let off a plane to collect her pet. When Henry saw her, he ran into her arms.

7. The Window - by Vilwarin
The window of our bedchamber in lord Imrahil's castle faces towards the west, and this is where I find her. My lady has dragged a chair over so she may sit in comfort while she is lost in her memories.
I know she does not see the crashing of the waves on the cliffs, she sees what no eye on these shores can glimpse – whether mortal or immortal.
This is the first time she has accompanied me to the falas. I was glad to know her near me, as any husband should be, but at the same moment my heart was full of worry.
Across the water dwells her kin. In our home one cannot see the sea, but here is nothing to shield her from it and I fear that it might overwhelm her.
I can only imagine how much she must miss what she has left behind. Does she regret her decision to cleave to me? My heart tells me that this is a foolish thought and not to worry.
I know that I have her love. But when I look at her, see her sad eyes gazing over the water, I cannot help but wonder. Is she happy with her life?
She has not heard me, so I softly call her name 'Arwen'.
She turns around then, away from the window, and gives me a seductive smile.
My lady holds out her hands towards me, and I come willingly to her.
We snuggle close together and our lips meet in a gentle kiss.
'So, my lord,' says she playfully, 'what has taken you so long? I was getting bored.'
For a moment I wonder how her mood can change so quickly, then I know it. It is my mere presence. Is it not so that in the end there remain faith, hope and love, and all this she has in me.
In but a few months we will have our own little family, and though we will always miss what is now lost, we both know that we may look into a bright future.
