By Matt Bershadker, President & CEO of the ASPCA, and Christine A. Dorchak, Esq., President of GREY2K USA Worldwide.
It's always appalling to see animals abused and betrayed for profit, especially when the activity is legal and defended as a "sport." That's the reality of Greyhound racing, but the reasons this detestable industry still exists defy not just our humane values, but common sense as well.
The cruelty and trauma these dogs suffer is undeniable, and is spotlighted this month in the first-ever national report on Greyhound racing, created by GREY2K USA and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The culmination of more than 13 years of research, this report reveals systemic and shocking abuse to dogs caught up in a dying, poorly regulated industry. Greyhound racing benefits a tiny group of cruel breeders at the expense of the more than 10,000 Greyhounds that enter the racing industry each year. As our report shows, this antiquated and unpopular activity also costs taxpayers millions of dollars.
Racing Greyhounds are kept for 20 or more hours per day in warehouse-style kennels. To reduce costs, the dogs are fed raw "4-D" meat from diseased animals. Confined in stacked cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around, large Greyhounds can't even stand fully erect for most of the day.
When let out of their confinement, the dogs' health and lives are placed in even greater jeopardy. Since 2008, over 80,000 Greyhounds have been registered to race and nearly 12,000 racing-dog injuries have been documented, including more than 3,000 broken legs … plus broken necks, crushed skulls, paralysis, seizures and death by electrocution.
At least 909 racing Greyhounds died between 2008 and 2014, 758 of them from injuries. In Florida alone—which takes advantage of having no law requiring tracks to report Greyhound injury statistics—a racing dog dies, on average, every three days.
Greyhound racing continues in seven states—Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Texas and West Virginia—and in each one, Greyhound cruelty and neglect have been verified, including at least 27 troubling cases since 2008. Sixteen Greyhounds tested positive for cocaine during this period. One particularly gruesome situation involved a Florida kennel operator who walked away when the racing season ended, leaving 42 Greyhounds to die of starvation, some with their mouths taped shut.
In March of 2013, a two-year-old Greyhound was left to sit in her cage for four days after breaking her leg in a training race at the Wheeling track in West Virginia. Aspirin and a makeshift wrap were the only "treatment" she was given. Thanks to an anonymous tipster, "Kiowa Dutch Girl" was found, shaking in her cage and unable to stand, and ordered to receive medical care. Both trainers fled the jurisdiction in order to avoid criminal prosecution.
This level of wanton cruelty and disregard is reminiscent of some of the worst atrocities people commit against animals for the sake of profit—including dog fighting. But unlike dog fighting, dog racing is completely legal in these seven states.
You might assume there must be a compelling, if heartless, state or social interest that keeps Greyhound racing active in these states. But there's none.
The public doesn't want it. Since 2000, both the number of states with legalized racing and the number of racetracks in operation have been more than cut in half, largely because the public cannot tolerate the cruelty inherent to this activity.
The states don't really want it. State governments often spend more to regulate the sport than they get back in revenue. In Florida—where more Greyhound races are run than in any other state—the state loses between $1 million and $3 million each year on dog racing, because regulatory costs exceed revenues.
It's no wonder that racetrack owners—tired of losing money on costly and poorly attended races—also want out of the industry. But in most of these states, live racing mandates require racing licensees to keep the dogs running in circles, even when nobody's watching. In Florida, for instance, 12 dog tracks lost $42 million on racing between June 2012 and November 2013. During that same time period, every Greyhound track in the state lost money on racing. These tactics are designed only to keep Greyhound racing practitioners and breeders in business, with absolutely no regard for the animals' welfare or the best interest of the public.
With racing dog breeders and trainers putting up a tough fight to protect their own interests, this abhorrent activity continues. But it can end immediately if the governors of these seven states take decisive action against animal cruelty, even when it takes place in a legal operation.
Please sign our petition to urge Governors Bentley, Ducey, Hutchinson, Scott, Branstad, Abbott and Tomblin to follow the humane lead of all other states, and put a long-overdue end to the national shame of Greyhound racing.

This week, The New York Times published a comprehensive investigation into deplorable animal treatment at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC), a sprawling complex of laboratories in Nebraska with the overarching mission to help meat producers make more money.
There, according to the Times' exposé, newborn piglets are accidentally crushed to death by their mothers, who have been scientifically bred to give birth to unnaturally large litters. Weakened and deformed calves are born to cows "retooled" to have twins and triplets when they usually bear only one calf at a time. And lambs born in open fields were left to die excruciating deaths during an experiment to see if their mothers, normally dependent on human help, would nurture their babies despite severe weather and predators.
This barbaric animal "experimentation" is not only cruel, but wildly out of step with modern sensibilities and ethical standards. It's even more appalling that such activities—conducted with the goal of helping a private-sector industry turn a higher profit—are subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.
You'd think we'd have laws protecting animals from such abject abuse. But farm animals—both in agricultural research and in on-farm production—are indefensibly excluded from the Animal Welfare Act, which sets standards for other kinds of animal research.
The problem doesn't stop there. This research feeds a larger agricultural system that treats animals like widgets—constantly striving to produce more, bigger, faster—with little regard for their pain. According to the Times, most of the research at USMARC is being done to help beef, pork, and lamb producers make up for an increased consumer interest in alternatives, like poultry. But widespread cruelty and genetic manipulation to speed the process are also rampant in chicken production. Most chickens raised for eating are bred to grow so huge, so fast, that they can barely stand up. Many collapse under their own weight and spend much of their lives lying in their own waste, with open sores and wounds. That's why the ASPCA is actively involved in improving those conditions.
It doesn't have to be this way. More humane alternatives are available, and consumers are demanding better. If we are to live up to the ideal of a humane society, Congress must close the legal loopholes that allow such abject suffering, consumers must vote with their wallets, and the animal agri-business industry must respond.
What You Can Do Now
Please take action: Use the form below to tell Congress to pass the newly introduced AWARE Act, which would require agricultural research at federal facilities to comply with certain standards of the Animal Welfare Act.
In a letter to the editor published today in The Star Ledger, ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker urges New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to take action on a pending pet purchasing bill.
When a family buys a puppy from a New Jersey pet store, they're doing more than just exchanging money for a pet. Most pet store puppies come from puppy mills, so when consumers buy these dogs from pet stores, they are in fact supporting an industry that systematically abuses animals for profit.
In puppy mills across the country, dogs are typically stacked on top of one another in tiny, wire-floored cages that can injure their paws and legs. Female breeding dogs are forced to bear litter after litter without any time for their bodies to recover. Once they can no longer produce puppies, these mothers are often callously discarded or killed.
Conditions at puppy mills are reprehensible and intolerable, but many consumers are unaware that these sites are by far the leading source of pet store puppies. If pet stores are legally allowed to use unethical and inhumane breeders and brokers and to keep those sources secret, consumers have no way of making informed decisions when they bring a new pet into their family.
In December, New Jersey lawmakers took a strong step to insert accountability and transparency into the industry by unanimously passing S.1870 to amend New Jersey's current Pet Purchase Protection Law. This new law would force New Jersey pet stores to disclose the breeders and brokers that supply them, giving consumers a chance to make informed decisions. It would also prohibit pet stores from selling puppies from breeders that fail to comply with even minimal federal and state standards, helping to put pressure on some of the worst industry participants to significantly improve their practices.
This law protects both animals and consumers, and we're grateful to have worked closely with the bill's sponsors and to have helped push it through the legislative process.
Now it's up to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to take the final step by signing this bill. New Jersey residents can help by contacting the governor and telling him that Garden State animals and consumers deserve to be protected, not exploited.

For nearly 150 years, the ASPCA has called New York City home, and we're proud to have helped the city and its animal rescue institutions make great strides in recent years. New York City currently has the lowest dog and cat euthanasia rate per capita in the country. Animal cruelty laws are rigorously enforced in record-breaking numbers by the NYPD in partnership with the ASPCA. And, just yesterday, the New York City Council approved groundbreaking legislation that will curb puppy mills by prohibiting city pet shops from selling animals obtained from breeders who fail to meet even the most basic standards of care. New York City is a place where we protect animals from suffering, not exploit them for profit.
The positive momentum we've created should absolutely extend to New York City carriage horses, which is why we support Mayor de Blasio's proposal to phase out these rides on New York City streets. Using these animals to pull heavy loads of tourists for long hours through loud and congested city streets is simply unnatural, unnecessary, and an undeniable strain on their quality of life, and we'll work closely with rescue networks to ensure these horses are humanely retired. The ASPCA was founded in part to help horses, and we've devoted tremendous effort and resources over the years to bring a permanent end to both domestic horse slaughter and the export of American horses for slaughter abroad.
Naturally, retiring this industry will have financial repercussions, but the Mayor's bill reflects a strong intent to offset those consequences with workforce training programs and resources available not only to drivers, but to owners, license holders, and horse stable employees. The proposal will prevent renewals of carriage licenses when they expire in 2016, giving displaced workers time to transition to more contemporary industries. Under this bill, owners will also be prohibited from selling horses to slaughter.
So when posed with a choice between giving these horses a quality of life they deserve, or justifying an antiquated industry on the sole basis of tradition and financial gain, it's clear what the New York City Council should do, based on the humane values New York City holds.

Like many, we've been watching the situation in Moreauville, Louisiana, where a local "vicious dog" ordinance threatened the lives of innocent pit bulls and Rottweilers—including one serving as a loyal therapy dog for O'Hara Owen and her family. We're relieved to hear local leaders say they have repealed the unjust law.
The ASPCA has long opposed legislation that targets specific breeds of dogs, because all dogs need to be judged on the merits of their individual behavior, not stereotyped based on misperceptions about their breed. Fortunately, many state legislatures agree. Currently, there are no state-level laws that discriminate against certain dog breeds, though a number of cities and municipalities do have breed-specific laws in place. Eighteen states have taken the extra step to ban breed-specific legislation altogether.
When safety is a community issue, we support laws that focus not on breed but on individual dog behavior, including those prohibiting prolonged chaining and tethering.
But behind this unfair law and its nearly tragic consequences is another story that's just as important: the story of how a community's voice—whether it's a geographical community or one united by common values—can create meaningful change, save lives, and reverse something as seemingly untouchable as established law.
We applaud local decision-makers for listening, and extend our services to help craft new ordinance language that will offer the intended protections to Moreauville while avoiding the tragic pitfalls of breed-specific legislation.
This ordinance—and the fate of Moreauville pets—only got a second look when individual voices online, and later, news media brought it to light. As a result, our culture is a little more humane and a little more civilized today than it was yesterday. That may sound like a tiny difference to some, but to families like the Owens and to those of us dedicated to this cause, it's life-changing.

Its primary weapon is its Twin 20mm Thunderclap Cannons. It is also armed with two Fuselage Mounted Vulcan 20mm Cannons located on both sides of the cockpit. In addition it carries Signal-Processing Air-To-Surface Rockets.The G.I. Joe Skyhawk is an inexpensive, low-maintenance, and small VTOL craft. An easy replacement for larger, more high-ticket aircraft, the Skyhawk is an amazing piece of aerodynamic engineering. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to an insect, the Skyhawk can be quite a plague for enemy forces. While unable to engage most other aircraft due to its low speed and light armor, the Skyhawk is a buzzing nightmare for ground troops, who are hard-pressed to find the highly-maneuverable craft in their targeting reticule before it's too late.

IN all honesty, this clean up effort will be so massive and lengthy, you pretty much have to have a mega-corp like Halliburton running it. Like I said, if the bidding process was competitive, and if Hallburton was selected based on that--and I have no reason to think that they weren't--then the job should go to them.
But before anyone reads into this as some love affair of Halliburton, I think the management in that company is as corrupt as can be, regardless of their capabilities. The billions of dollars in Iraq that are unaccounted for, and the UNBID contracts for the reconstruction of that nation, are both glaring examples.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.

At least with Facebook you can restrict viewing the info to friends or friends of friends.
And any advertiser Facebook decides they want to share it with.
At some point, they'll "streamline" the privacy settings so the numbers will be shareable, visible, etc. so the advertising revenue can start coming in.
Has anyone tried to do this with an incorrect phone number? If the call is locating you based on your Facebook ID, then the phone number shouldn't matter, but who knows how Facebook implemented the feature.
I don't have an iPhone, or I would check this myself.
I wonder if a Google Voice cell phone would work. It does text and voice. I can forward the call or not for a do not bug me mode. I have a Google Voice number I give out to salesmen and scammers to protect my regular cell phone.

HR3 – "The No Taxpayer Money for Abortion Act" – is a vile piece of legislation by its title alone. That the bill contained, until yesterday, a provision to redefine rape as "forcible" rape was even more insidious. In a Republican-controlled House, it's not shocking to see this kind of medieval treatment of women become a priority over, you know, job creation. But let's focus on the Democrats involved in this travesty. A look at the DCCC's contributions to and on behalf of the 10 Democratic co-sponsors of HR3 show the committee spent a whopping $3,379,322.85 to keep these members in office – in 2010 alone.

FDL's Election Hot House: 98 Congressional Races Worth Watching
|By: Jon Walker Friday October 22, 2010 12:30 pm
While there is no doubt the GOP will make big gains on election night, the plausible range of pickups is incredibly wide. Depending on if the national mood breaks one way or another, dozens of seats could be won or lost by very narrow margins.
With that in mind, here are 98 hotly contested races that Firedoglake will be watching closely over the next 10 days. . . and in the case of a few of them, maybe even longer than that.

"Fiscal responsibility" is the last thing the Blue Dogs are interested in.

Baucus/Conrad Co-Ops a Weak Alternative to For-Profit Insurance
|By: Jon Walker Monday September 21, 2009 5:45 pm
I highly recommend read this new Reuters story on how useless Conrad's idea of small statewide co-ops would be. The story quotes several experts who all agree with what most of the progressive community has been saying for months. The co-ops would be so legally restricted by Baucus's bill that they would have little to no impact on health insurance in this country.

OT - What is appropriate?
Sorry this is just a bit OT but what is an appropriate First Holy Communion gift for a boy age about 6 or 7?
Alot of people might tell you a nice bible or a gold cross. I prefer to leave the personal items up to immediate family. Instead you could buy a savings bond or even a giftcard to any store. Maybe even include a small giftcard to Mcdonalds so they can treat themselves. My kids enjoy that.
Savings Bond and a small token of rememberance of the day. It is tough for boys. For my Godson my DH and I gave him a large face value bond (pay half the total face value and once it matures, he can have some savings). We also found a rosary that was masculine as well as a boy's communion picture frame in order to display a picture of First Communion Day.
Hope this helps.
I thought there was a thread on this a while ago and I know some suggested treating First Communion just like any other celebration, and giving non-religious gifts, but personally I would highly recommend sticking with a religious type gift. I would fit the gift to the occasion, so just like I wouldn't show up with a bottle of cologne or some socks for a housewarming, I wouldn't bring a basketball to a First Communion Party.
Here are some suggestions...
Religious Books (kid bibles, books on Saints, etc.) or a nice Rosary (although they may get more than one, he can still use it). If you have a religious type store in your area they probably have a lot of stuff. Below is a link that may give you some ideas. The amount you spend would probably depend on your relationship to the child. If you are family friends but not real, real close I would think anywhere from $10-30 would be fine. It's really not a big present giving occasion and focus is more on the sacrament itself.
I fall else fails, or you don't feel comfortable giving a religious gift, I'd stick a $20 in a Communion Card...maybe a little more if you are closely related.
ps...What does OT mean? (Off Topic???)

Kevin Currie, Golf Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The 2010 PGA Tour season had plenty of news from off the course, while Europe's best players made lots of noise on course on both sides of the pond.
Three top Americans battled injuries and personal woes, while Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson had coming-out parties.
Tiger Woods struggled throughout the season. His car accident last November led to him going to rehab, and eventually to his divorce. For the first time as a professional, Woods went the entire year without a win.
As if his struggles weren't enough, Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim battled arthritis and injury, respectively. While those three struggled, Jim Furyk and Kuchar picked up their games and Johnson became an emerging presence despite coughing up two majors.
The Europeans dominated the biggest events. If you combine the four majors and the four World Golf Championships, Europeans won four of the eight, including three majors.
One of Europe's major champions, U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell, also holed the winning putt at the Ryder Cup. Lee Westwood, who late in the year took over the top spot in the world rankings, collected his first PGA Tour title.
Rory McIlroy (more on him later) and Justin Rose also won big-name events. McIlroy won at Quail Hollow, while Rose picked up victories at the Memorial and the AT&T National.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR - The wily veteran
A pair of U.S. Ryder Cup players -- Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar -- were among those up for the Player of the Year award. The choice here is Furyk.
The man with the home-built swing picked up three PGA Tour wins this season to raise his career total to 16. One of his biggest to date took place in September.
Earlier in the year, Furyk visited the winner's circle at the Transitions Championship and the Verizon Heritage.
At the Tour Championship, Furyk held off Retief Goosen and Luke Donald to earn the second biggest win of his career. Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, finished second on the money list for the second time in his career, thanks in part to seven top-10 finishes.
Furyk also won the FedEx Cup.
He gets the nod over Kuchar, who won only once, but had the best season of his career.
Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson, Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Hunter Mahan all won twice this season and were also considered.
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - The young Ulsterman
The top-two rookies finished 22nd and 26th on the PGA Tour money list and picking one over the other was just as tough. The PGA Tour players voted for Rickie Fowler, No. 22 on the money list, but the pick here is No. 26, Rory McIlroy.
The 21-year-old from Northern Ireland gets the nod thanks in part to his victory at the Quail Hollow Championship. It wasn't just that he won, but how he did it.
McIlroy, who turned 21 two days after the win, fired a 10-under 62 in the final round to fly past major champions Phil Mickelson and Angel Cabrera for the victory.
He made the cut on the number on Friday, then posted 16-under par over the final two days to come from out of nowhere to get to the winner's circle.
McIlroy missed the cut at the season's first two majors, but he came back to tie for third at the final two majors. McIlroy finished well behind British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen at St. Andrews, then missed the playoff at the PGA Championship by a single stroke.
Fowler, who had a pair of runner-up finishes at Phoenix and the Memorial, could have done more. He made 12 more starts on the PGA Tour than McIlroy did, and had eight more made cuts, but failed to win.
As Herman Edwards once said, "You play to win the game!" Therefore, McIlroy's win helps him get the nod as our Rookie of the Year.
SHOT OF THE YEAR - A pair of iron shots
Two iron shots shaped the first and final majors of 2010. A left-handed six- iron and a right-handed four-iron. One good, the other, not so much.
Heading to the 12th tee at Augusta, Phil Mickelson was tied for the lead, but the fireworks were about to start. He birdied the par-three to move ahead of the field, then he hit his drive on the par-five 13th into the trees.
In typical Mickelson fashion, a lay up was not in the cards. He hit a miraculous six-iron, off pine straw and through a pair of trees, to four feet. Even though he missed the eagle putt, Mickelson made birdie to extend his lead to two strokes.
Mickelson went for broke and succeeded.
At the season's final major, it was a four-iron that made the difference. However, it wasn't where the shot landed, but what happened before the shot was struck.
Dustin Johnson, who had coughed up the U.S. Open earlier in the year, was leading the PGA Championship on the 18th tee. He pushed his drive right of the fairway in the middle of the massive crowd.
Not realizing he was in a bunker, Johnson grounded his four-iron behind the ball as he prepared to hit the shot. He tugged the shot left of the green. Johnson would walk off with a bogey thinking he was about to join Bubba Watson and eventual champion Martin Kaymer in a playoff.
Johnson was greeted by an official as he walked off the green and told there might be a problem with his grounding a club in a bunker. Johnson had no idea he had been in a bunker for his second shot.
"Walking up there, seeing the shot, never once did it cross my mind it was a sand trap," Johnson said in television interview after the round.
He was penalized two strokes for grounding his club in a bunker and ended up two strokes out of the playoff and in a tie for fifth.
Mickelson's six-iron clinched his Masters title and Johnson's four-iron cost him a shot at his first major championship title.
TOURNAMENT OF THE YEAR - The U.S. Open
The U.S. Open had just about everything you want in a major. Besides the amazing scenery at Pebble Beach, there was a hopeful first-time major winner in the lead with Tiger Woods among those trying to chase him down.
Dustin Johnson won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier in the year and was on the short list of favorites entering the U.S. Open. Through three rounds, Johnson did not disappoint.
He finished 54 holes at six-under par and was three shots clear of Graeme McDowell and five ahead of Woods, who scorched Pebble Beach en route to winning the U.S. Open title in 2000.
Johnson was out of contention by the seventh hole as he crashed to a final- round 82 that left him five off the pace.
McDowell was in charge on the back nine, but not only was Woods in his rearview mirror, so was two-time U.S. Open winner Ernie Els and four-time major champion Phil Mickelson.
No player that finished in the top-five on the leaderboard broke par in the final round, so McDowell's closing 74 was enough to give the Northern Irishman his first major championship title. He held off France's Gregory Havret, who closed with a one-over 72 to take second at plus-one.
McDowell became the first European in 40 years to win the U.S. Open. England's Tony Jacklin was the last when he won at Hazeltine in 1970.
Els and Mickelson both shot 73. Els took third, while Mickelson joined Woods (75) in fourth at plus-three.
The Masters and PGA Championship were among the other top tournaments in 2010.
- Graeme McDowell, not only won his first major, but he also clinched the Ryder Cup for Europe. His great year started late in 2009, when he replaced Tiger Woods at Woods' Chevron event. McDowell took second there, which helped him move inside the world top-50, which in turn got him into the Masters. He won three times and had nine top-10s worldwide in 2010.
- Phil Mickelson won his third Masters, but was diagnosed with a rare form of arthritis later in the year. That hurt his results as the season went on, but he still managed six top-10 finishes.
- Dustin Johnson coughed up a pair of major championships, but had two victories among his seven top-10 finishes.
- Quietly, like he does most things, Retief Goosen posted the second-most top-10 finishes this season. The South African had 10 top-10s, including five in his first seven starts.
- Matt Kuchar topped the money list as he earned more than $4.9 million, had the most top-10 finishes (11) and won the Vardon Trophy for best scoring average (69.61) on the PGA Tour.
- Stuart Appleby might not have had a great season overall, but he fired a 59 to win the Greenbrier Classic.
- Tiger Woods didn't win, got divorced, stopped working with his swing coach, missed part of the year because he was in rehab and lost the top spot in the world rankings. Tried to salvage his season with a 3-1 record at the Ryder Cup.
- Vijay Singh had just one top-five and two top-ten finishes all year. He finished outside the top-35 in all four majors and his best finish in a WGC was a tie for 11th at the CA Championship.
- Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen lost his full-time status on the PGA Tour by finishing 147th on the money list. He tried to regain full status at Q School, but ended well off the pace there as well.

Athletes change; King's message won't
Originally Published: January 12, 2011By Michael Wilbon | ESPN.com
It's been 42 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, changing the course of every living person and even those born to the next generation or two, dramatically altering life in the United States from the delivery of long-delayed freedoms to the rearranging of the calendar. Only two Super Bowls had been played when Dr. King was murdered. The NBA had just 12 teams; Bill Russell was still playing for the Celtics.
The point is, Dr. King was taken from us quite awhile ...

Hello Pensivevirgo,
first the best first food is your milk, 100% breastfeeding in the first 6 month is the best first food a children can get. From the 6th month on you can start giving all kind of fruits, vegetables and nuts but you should chew it and feed it to her with a spoon. This helps your children to digest. Observe her well when you eat when she shows interest in a particular fruit you can offer it to her. Small children can choose their own food when it's raw. There is no danger feeding raw fruits, vegetables and nuts to babies and you don't need a blender - use your teeth!
Happy motherhood
Cooking the apples is probably suggested because that makes them more digestible. Cooking breaks down cell walls, which your child has to do in his tummy otherwise.
Eating a raw apple, will not harm your child, unless there are some contaminants (bacteria) on it which would be destroyed when you cook your food. So since babies have weaker immune systems, cooking is generally a good idea.
Also, it is generally a better idea to introduce your baby to vegetables first (rather than fruit). Fruit is very sweet and they will aquire a taste for it. When you then try to give them vegetables (especially less sweet ones) they are likely not going to like it. So start with vegetables or you might create a picky eater! :)
Good luck!

Beautiful Quality
I received the "Sketched in Love" Save the Date magnets yesterday! I love the colors I chose, the quality of the photo printing and the quality of the magnets. Magnet Street service was awesome. I received the magnets earlier than I expected!
Perfect save the Dates!!!!
I found these perfect little magnets after my fiancé an I decided on the "Sketched in Love" wedding invitation. They are a little larger than a business card and are perfect size if your like me and don't care for the huge save the dates that are so common today. As well as being affordable the quality is great. The print was clear and legible. I opted for only one photograph in the top corner. They turned out absolutely beautiful and just like I designed them. They even arrived ahead of schedule! I also added in the location for those who want to make reservations early since we are having a destination wedding!
Sketched in Love Save the Date Magnets
MagnetStreet did an excellent job on our save the dates. Not only were their prices reasonable, but the quality is excellent, and they make the process of making the save the dates extremely simple. I would recommend using them, especially their Sketched in Love style if you have a lot of engagement pictures to choose from and have some favorites that you want to show to your guests. This seriously was so easy; it only took us about 30 minutes to choose, add our photos, and write in our names and information for the save the dates. Just got them on our front door step yesterday. Very exciting.
Large magnets
Overall, a great product for the money. I wish they offered a bigger size. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a trendy magnet save the date. I wasn't sure I even wanted to send them out, but loved this style because it had 4 pics. I didn't want to have to choose only one of our engagement pics because I thought there were so many good ones. Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
I LOVE our Save the Date Magnets!!
These are a great quality! Great size! Great Company. Really made it feel special, all of their communication was excellent and timely, their packaging of the product was so cute and you can see they really care. I will be buying all of my stationary and card needs here from now on. Next will be our invitations!! THANK YOU!

Crusade calls for changing $20 bills to add first woman on U.S. paper currency
Women write about money and related topics. Look for an example in the business or main news section.
Find coverage of a woman in any profession. Why does or doesn't that job appeal to you?
Lastly, hunt for news about another effort to achieve some kind of change. Why does or doesn't it sound like a good idea?
"What's in your wallet?" actor Samuel Jackson asks in credit card commercials. One answer is: Paper money with just male faces in the center. Now there's a grass-roots effort to change that. A campaign called campaign aims to put a woman from American history on the $20 bill by 2020, replacing President Andrew Jackson.
Fifteen candidates are listed at womenon20s.org, which says: "It's our mission to generate an overwhelming people's mandate for a new $20 bill." Congress needn't get involved. A president simply can ask the treasury secretary to make it happen. The group's nominees including feminist Betty Friedan, abolitionist Sojourner Truth and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Other candidates are Harriet Tubman, who freed about some 300 slaves through the Underground Railroad, and Susan B. Anthony, a leader in the fight for women's right to vote.
Backers of the change say they picked Jackson (rather than Washington on $1 bills or Abraham Lincoln on $5 notes) because he signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that forced more than 18,000 Native Americans to march to Oklahoma (known as the Trail of Tears). In Australia, by the way, a man on one side of each currency note and a woman is on the other.
Organizer says: "There are no women on the money and I thought, gee this is a crazy omission." – Barbara Ortiz Howard of Mount Vernon, N.Y., campaign co-founder
Student says: "Faces on U.S. bills haven't changed since the 1920s. Considering all the achievements women have made since then, it is time for a woman to get the recognition." -- Maria Castellucci, Columbia College in Chicago, writing in the Chicago Tribune
Newspaper reader says: "My recommendation: Print multiple kinds of bills of the same denomination, featuring men and women, as we do with stamps. This could accommodate many worthy women — as well as minorities, who are also unrepresented." – David Meister of New York, in letter to The New York Times

Hitler was a bad speller
A newly uncovered postcard written by Hitler during World War I suggests that the Nazi dictator wasn't great at spelling.
The postcard was written by the former Fascist leader as he recovered from a war wound in a Munich hospital in December 1916.

My scenario is quite unbelievable... the following piece of code:
if os.path.exists(path):
if os.access(path, os.R_OK):
print("is readable!")
if os.access(path, os.W_OK):
print("is writable!")
f = open(path, "w")
works fine on my mac (it prints "exists!", "is readable!" and "is writable!") and it opens the file for writing as expected... BUT, on a VirtualBox VM running Windows 7 or Windows XP it raises an exception ("permission denied") ALTHOUGH it prints "exists!", "is readable!" and "is writable!"... WTF is going on?? I'm going CRAZY... I'm running the script logged as Administrator and I turned off windows User Account Control... I'm using python 3.3 in both the environments... I'm gonna cry folks :/
...I also tried to use
io module and to invoke
open() with "r+"... the problem is the same

It tells a story of social change and industrial revolution, mill owner and mill worker, the power of nature and the ingenuity of man; of benevolence and exploitation.

Memo to Hollywood: If you're going to make a Revolutionary War movie, just remember that the British critics don't forgive and forget. "The Patriot," that big-budget, action-oriented take on the American Revolution, was raked by film reviewers in the United Kingdom for its portrayal of King George III's army as marauding, church-burning warriors.
As a result, the film made just $1.5 million during its first weekend in England and Ireland. To put that into perspective, that's about one-fourth the amount that "The Gladiator" earned.
"'The Patriot' should have been one of the big summer films in the U.K. as well as elsewhere,'' Mary Scott, a journalist with the trade publication Screen International, told Reuters.
"It is typical Hollywood ego to just go ahead and make something they think everyone will see and like regardless. It will certainly be a blot on Mel Gibson."
