How Do You Feel About Youth Football?
Anyone who's ever given thought to the topic should read "The Choice," a thorough and thought-provoking article by Patrick Hruby from SportsOnEarth that addresses one basic question: "Should you let your child play football?" The article opens and ends with a mom whose son started playing when he was 4. Her family is an NFL family through and through, with a father, uncle, two brothers, and many cousins who've played professionally. Football and everything it stands for is ingrained in all of her memories and in her very identity. And yet because of the growing concerns over the long-term risks of brain injury–which we've covered recently–she's starting to doubt whether her son, now 7, should play. "Deep down, there's a side of me that would love him to go to the NFL and keep up the tradition," she says in the story. "Do I want him on a football field? Absolutely. Do I know the repercussions? Absolutely. Do I think he should play? As a mom, absolutely not." Her son actually doesn't play anymore, because he's simply not interested. But if he changes his mind, neither she nor her husband know for sure what they'll do.
The article takes a hard look at the game at all levels, and reveals some unsettling information about the lengths the NFL has gone to in order to keep kids interested in the sport, including putting out now-discredited scientific reports maintaining that concussions don't pose health risks (?!). It also details the efforts being made by researchers, sports medicine experts, neurologists, and coaches to minimize the potential damage inflicted by concussions, in the form of things like helmets with sensors and performance analysis and correction.
This quote, from University of North Carolina public health professor Lewis Margolis, M.D., stuck with me: "I'm not saying that everyone should be placed into bubbles. But we have enough evidence now to know that there are harmful consequences from these traumatic brain injuries. We know that. And kids are exposed to this. To continue to allow children to participate [in football] in an unencumbered way, to me, is no different than exposing them to an untested medicine or medical device. Only it's being done without the tools, procedures and protections essential to medical research."
I was eager to get a reaction to this story from my brother-in-law, who's in his fifth decade of either playing or coaching football. Both of his sons played football starting at a young age, and one played through college (as did my husband). He could relate to the mom in the article, because he "loved the game and everything about it, then started having doubts after the head trauma issues came out." As a coach, he has what he calls a non-scientific theory about head injury: "Some kids are more prone to it than others. I have seen this often and am convinced there is relevance to it, no different than someone is more susceptible to illness or other injuries, such as weak shoulders or ankles." When he thinks about whether parents should let their child play at a youth level, he cites the lack of evidence of major problems for the kids whose football careers end in high school. (Although I can't help but think about the research showing that 7- and 8-year-old boys absorb roughly 80 blows to the head each season. Nothing good can come from that.)
Knowing the joy the sport has brought to my husband, brother-in-law, and nephews, I finished the article certain of one thing: I'm glad I don't have a son.
Read "The Choice" here, and let me know what you think.

"Currently supported back ends now include ALSA, OSS, PulseAudio, FreeBob/FFADO (for FireWire devices) and CoreAudio (on OS X)."
Not exactly, PulseAudio is not supported, but a PortAudio driver to be used for Jackdmp Windows version.

Ouch, you're right, I meant Portaudio. Thanks for the correction. :)

* Recently, some antivirus applications shows false alarm, but myy application has no relation with any virus.
Just Notepad for Android
Besides, it is always a difficult to copy-paste text precisely on a phone or tablet. It is because of the precision of capacitive touch is never comparable to a computer mouse. For the reason, this app provides the left-right boundary adjustment of text selection, just like cutting a video, to make your text selection easier. In addition, you can store your favorite sentences in this app, it provides the one-touch copying for you to copy-paste your sentences on other places such as Facebook or Twitter.
Unlike some to-do-list apps or yellow-tips apps, this app is just a NotePad for Android. You just launch it, key in or paste some text, or draw something with your finger, then close it, even without saving, it does saving automatically.
- Directly perceived through the senses: the app is developed base on the standard text-editing area of Android system. Everything you are familiar with about inputting text in other apps, here they are preserved, except the text selection function is enhanced. Once you see the appearance of this app, you know how to use without thinking.
- Easiest to make text selection precisely: long-clicking and dragging the text selection on a Android phone or tablet is not easy, because capacitive touch is never as precise as a computer mouse. This app abandons this way, and makes text selection by adjusting the left and right boundary of copying range, just like video cutting.
- Marking by finger painting: the app visually provides a marker pen and a highlighter for you to draw something over or abandon the text with your finger. It also provides you an eraser to remove the strokes or the marker pen and the highlighter. In addition, the undo function is also supported.
- SD Card reading / writing: This app can browse the text files in the built-in or external storage of your Android phone (usually a SD card or OTG stick), and you can read or write it. You can specify the encoding to import / export non-English files. Using the function, you can import a .txt or .htm file as a note of the app or export your note to a text file. You can also backup (or restore) all notes in a single file, or export the text and finger drawings to a JPEG image.
- Html preview: Since what you have imported or written may be a snippets of html code, this app makes you able to preview it in web browser, including the referred images or style sheets in the same directory of the imported html file. You can also use this app as an off-line web-page viewer.
- Folders and ordering by drag-and-drop: the auto-saved notes are listed on the menu when you slide your finger from the left side of the screen. You can change the titles of notes, build folders, drag notes into a folder, or change their order by dragging and dropping.
- Full-text search: After the notes are written with this app, you may want to find some of them according to some keywords or string tokens. This app provides full-text searching for you, it lists all notes including the string tokens.

Maid MarianComments46
this wiki
Maid Marian is a vixen from Disney's 1973 feature film Robin Hood and is both the love interest/wife of the title character and the deuteragonist, based on the character from the actual Robin Hood legend.
She was voiced by Monica Evans while Nancy Adams did her singing voice for "Love".
It's stated that Maid Marian is King Richard's niece, but it's never actually how they're related, and she doesn't appear to be related to Prince John, despite him being Richard's brother. Because of that, it can be assumed that Richard is Maid Marian's uncle by marriage---meaning that the sister of either Marian's mother or father was the wife of King Richard (making Marian's aunt the queen).
She and Robin Hood apparently grew up together and were in love. However, several years before the events of the film, she left for London for unspecified reasons and had only recently returned to Nottingham.
Maid Marian is a very beautiful, ladylike, nice and kind woman. Despite being separated from him, Maid Marian is very much in love with Robin Hood as he loves her. So much so that she finds the courage to plead for his life.
Robin Hood
She is first seen in the courtyard of Prince John's castle, playing badminton with her lady-in-waiting Lady Kluck. She invites a group of children, including Skippy, his two siblings, and friend Toby, to come to her when she discovers Skippy trying to retrieve an arrow, and later finds the rest of them outside the gate. She is described as being "awful nice" ("awfully nice", actually), and the children approach her without fear. After speaking of her past relationship with Robin Hood, she joins in the children's role play of Robin rescuing her. Later, in her room, she expresses her fear that she has been away so long that Robin has forgotten about her, despite Lady Kluck's attempts to reassure her.
She is next seen at Prince John's archery tournament, where she is to give a kiss to the winner. She is able to recognize the disguised Robin Hood, and cheers him on throughout the tournament. When Robin's identity is revealed and he is sentenced to death, she tries in vain to plead Prince John to show mercy and spare Robin's life. Though it seemingly fails, Robin is freed through the intervention of Little John before the Sheriff found out. She is seen running from members of the Sheriff's posse, when Robin Hood dramatically rescues her. He then proposes to her; she accepts, but playfully chides him for not choosing a more romantic setting. She then accepts his ideas of going to London, Normandy and "Sunny" Spain for a honeymoon, but politely objects to his idea of having six children, as she wants at least a dozen.
After escaping to Sherwood Forest, she takes a moonlight stroll with Robin, and participates in a celebration with the townspeople. She is not seen after this until the end of the story, where it is revealed that she marries Robin Hood and leaves with him on their honeymoon.
House of Mouse
Maid Marian makes occasional cameo appearances as a guest at the club.
In "Halloween With Hades", she appears embracing Robin Hood, and in "Max's Embarrassing Date", she appears at a table with Robin Hood.
Once Upon a Time
Maid Marian appears in the ABC drama, but as a human rather than a fox like Robin Hood. She is the lover of Robin Hood, but had fallen ill while she was pregnant with their child. To heal her, Robin Hood had to venture into Rumplestiltskin's castle to steal some magic. He escaped with the aid of Belle and hid out until Marian arrived on a cart. He manages to cure her illness, however an arrow is shot by Rumplestiltskin, forcing Robin Hood to run off with Marian to escape him. Having given birth to their son, Roland, Marian dies from illness.
Emma Swan however, discovers Marian to be alive when she goes back in time to the Enchanted Forest (although unaware of her identity). She is arrested by the Evil Queen for helping Snow White escape and set to be executed. Wanting to aid the woman's life, but not wanting to change the current timeline, Emma takes Marian back with her to Storybrooke in present time to prevent any changes from occurring. When Marian is introduced to Regina (the former Evil Queen), Robin Hood recognizes and reveals Marian's identity much to everyone's shock. Although reunited with Robin Hood and their son, Marian's resurgence complicates matters for Regina who had started a relationship with Robin Hood beforehand.
Elsa creates a snow monster which chases Emma, Hook, Robin Hood, and David out of the area when they try to track her. They try to defeat the monster in the woods, only to all got knocked unconscious. Marian also shoots an arrow at the monster, which only serves to incur its wrath. The monster then heads towards Marian, and when Regina shows up, she merely smiles when Marian asks her to help, and disappears. However, at the last second, Regina defeats the snow monster by burning it. Marian thanks Regina, with Regina welcoming her to Storybrooke. Afterwards, Regina disappears, still heartbroken
Robin Hood (Sean Maguire), Marian, and Roland visit "Any Given Sundae," where the Snow Queen serves them ice cream, but unknown to them she casts a spell on the ice cream cone that she gave Marian. Afterwards, the family joins the other residents at the Mayor's office. Mary Margaret then tells the residents about Elsa's presence in Storybrooke and is trying to reassure everyone that she is not dangerous, only to have Marian beginning to start feeling as if something was glossing over her and she passes out. Elsa's presence has also resulted in her becoming a prime suspect, and with her heart slowly freezing, a cure must be found before Marian's heart completely freezes and kills her.
Robin arrives to tell Regina about Marian's frozen state. As Regina is quick to suspect Elsa, as she believes that darker magic is behind this but Elsa denies it to Regina. They believe a true love kiss will wake Marian up, but after Robin kisses her, nothing happens. Later on that evening, Robin confesses that he knows why the kiss did not work, although he kissed Marian, he's still in love with Regina. Regina then tells Henry to bring her a box and pulls her heart out before her body freezes, indicating it is alive and promises Robin that she will find a cure for his wife.
After the Snow Queen sacrificed herself, Regina and Robin were able to wake Marian up from her ice curse, and later on thanked Regina for saving her even though she was aware that Robin still has feelings for her and vice versa; Regina tells Marian that she wants Robin to be happy for Roland's sake. However, as Regina tells Robin that he needs to be with Marian, the spell quickly resurfaced to freeze her heart. Regina tells Robin that in order for Marian to live, she must cross the town line and enter our world (and along with it, will no longer be able to return to Storybrooke), meaning the spell would not be able to harm her, but at the same time she tells Robin that both him and Roland have to accompany her as she is new to the world and has no experience of it.
Disney Parks
Marian appeared in the Disney parks as a meetable character in the years following the film's release, but disappeared during the 1990s.
Unlike her animated counterpart, Marian's ears were revealed while her headdress was smaller and didn't hide them, but rather was between them. Also, her shawl didn't cover her ears either. And she wore white socks and black Mary Jane shoes.
- Maid Marian is the only female character from Robin Hood to ever wear shoes on her feet; all other females are barefoot; however, in the storyboards (particularly for the part of the alternate ending where she tends to a wounded Robin Hood and when she runs to hug King Richard, who has returned from the crusade), Maid Marian's feet are bare, too.
- Maid Marian and Robin Hood are the second couple to have known each other during childhood, but later separated for a long time, the first being Bambi and Faline and the third (and so far last) being Simba and Nala from The Lion King. Interestingly, all three of them are animals. However, unlike the other two couples, Marian and Robin are never shown as children. Instead, she explains about it to Skippy, his sisters, and Toby the Turtle, and later, while Robin laments his love for Marian, he gives a hint that they knew each other as kids.
- With the exception of other female lead animals, Maid Marian is the only leading lady that is portrayed not as a human.
- Although she is not a princess, Maid Marian still lived in a castle.
- Maid Marian infamously shares exactly the same dance moves as Snow White and Duchess.
- Maid Marian's design was eventually reused for that of Vixey's from The Fox and the Hound, though Vixey is less anthropomorphic than Marian.
- Curiously enough, Monica Evans, Maid Marian's voice actress, as with Carolle Shelley, Lady Kluck's voice actress, also voiced Abigail and Amelia Gabble from The AristoCats.
- In some scenes by the dance when she and Robin Hood are together, she shares the same dance as been used by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
- Even though she's a deuteragonist she only appears for approximately 30 minutes of the entire film. She is not scene in the third and final act of the film and only appears briefly at the end.
- She calls Lady Kluck "Klucky" the same way Robin Hood called Little John "Johnny".
- Maid Marian's dress is similar to Merida's dress in Brave.

In partnership with local Congolese educational institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), our goal is to empower GBA beneficiaries - through service-centered education - to become servant-leaders capable of taking control of their own lives while serving as change agents in their local communities and throughout the nation.
They provide community resource information and limited financial help. Also, they collect and distribute donated furniture and appliances to those in need through a voucher system.
St. Vincent de Paul is Catholic led, but is open to all who wish to serve Christ by serving others. In Bloomington, they currently have volunteers from the three local Catholic parishes, St. Charles, St. John's and St. Pauls as well as from St. Thomas Lutheran Church and others.
The Donald E Owens Memorial Lodge 88 membership consists of members representing 12 local law enforcement agencies in Monroe, Brown, Greene and Martin counties. Our primary position is to represent law enforcement in matters of wages and salaries, rights, benefits, work hours, and safety. The lodge is also active with improving the community by making charitable donations to fellow officers in need, youth sport and education programs, disaster/tragedy assistance, and the Special Olympics.
Well House Society associates give to IU where the University's needs are greatest. Your unrestricted support is a source of flexible funding that beautifies IU's campuses and enriches its academic mission. Associates give at least $2,000 annually with a minimum of $1,000 going to unrestricted uses. If you are under 40, you may become an associate with an annual gift of $1,000.
The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

I've wired up the MvcMiniProfiler to my app, and it's reporting Duplicate Queries.
I've set a BreakPoint in my Repository
Public Function Read() As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of [Event]) Implements IEventRepository.Read
Dim events = (From e In dc.Events
Select e)
Return events.AsQueryable ''# BREAKPOINT HERE
End Function
And I've hit the page in question.
My code hits the
Read() function twice through my service layer (this is by design since I can't figure out how to reduce the calls)
Dim eventcount = EventService.GetHotEventCount() ''# First Hit
Dim eventlist = EventService.GetHotEvents((page - 1) * 5) ''# Second Hit
Dim model As EventsIndexViewModel = New EventsIndexViewModel(eventlist, page, eventcount)
Return View("Index", model)
EventService does a simple query against the IQueryable
Public Function GetHotEvents(ByVal skip As Integer) As List(Of Domain.Event) Implements IEventService.GetHotEvents
Return _EventRepository.Read() _
.Where(Function(e) e.EventDate >= Date.Today AndAlso
e.Region.Name = RegionName) _
.OrderByDescending(Function(e) (((e.TotalVotes) * 2) + e.Comments.Count)) _
.ThenBy(Function(e) e.EventDate) _
.Skip(skip) _
.Take(5) _
End Function
Unfortunately I can't figure out why MiniProfiler is saying there are 8 Duplicate queries (13 in total).
So it appears as though Sam has stated that I'm not pre-loading my relationships within my queries.
How do I appropriately pre-load relationships in Linq to SQL? Can anyone lend any advice?
Here's the ViewModel that's being created.
Public Class EventsIndexViewModel
Public Property Events As List(Of Domain.ViewModels.EventPreviewViewModel)
Public Property PageNumber As Integer
Public Property TotalEvents As Integer
Public Property MapEventsList As List(Of Domain.Pocos.MapPin)
Public Property JsonMapEventsList As String
Sub New()
End Sub
Sub New(ByVal eventlist As List(Of Domain.Event), ByVal page As Integer, ByVal eventcount As Integer)
_PageNumber = page
__TotalEvents = eventcount
Dim mel As New List(Of MapPin)
_Events = New List(Of Domain.ViewModels.EventPreviewViewModel)
For Each e In eventlist
_Events.Add(New Domain.ViewModels.EventPreviewViewModel(e))
mel.Add(New MapPin(e.Location.Latitude, e.Location.Longitude, e.Title, e.Location.Name, e.Location.Address))
_MapEventsList = mel
_JsonMapEventsList = (New JavaScriptSerializer()).Serialize(mel)
End Sub
End Class

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Icahn Enterprises
Who Will Be Saddest About A Successful Dell Buyout?
With today's ISS report endorsing the Michael Dell / Silver Lake buyout of Dell, and with the market up on the likelihood that the deal will go through when shareholders vote on July 18, I suppose it's about time to start the postmortems. How do you see the winners and losers? The opposition, led by […]
Dell Begs Shareholders To Put It Out Of Its Misery
I feel like it would be a useful, or at least entertaining, exercise to require every company, once a year or so, to give a presentation to its shareholders that is like "here's why you should vote for an LBO of our company at a ~2% premium to the current stock price." Even if there's […]
Carl Icahn Thinks That Whatever Company He Bought This Week Is Wildly Underpriced
My thinking on Carl Icahn changes day to day but my current model is that he is a man who after a long and successful career in money management retired in March of 2011 to spend more time on his hobbies. And that his hobbies are irritating Bill Ackman, hijacking public company M&A deals, and […]
Carl Icahn Gives Son Four Years To Prove Himself
Ten years ago, Carl Icahn hired his son Brett to be an analyst at Icahn Enterprises and the kid didn't fuck anything up so he got to keep his job. Two year ago, Carl gave Brett and another employee, David Schechter, $300 million to invest under the "Sargon portfolio," and the guys returned 96 percent (before fees) through June. Last month, Carl tossed the duo an additional $3 billion and a contract that expires in 2016, at which time Papa Icahn will either officially Brett a worthy successor or offer to serve as a reference for his next gig.
Under a 46-page legal agreement filed with federal regulators last month, Brett Icahn and Schechter will get to invest their boss's capital in companies with stock market values between $750 million and $10 billion. The deal may free the elder Icahn, who still has final say over many aspects of the portfolio, to focus on larger targets for shareholder activism. Brett, who turns 33 this month, along with Schechter has been running $300 million for his father, who owns more than 90 percent of Icahn Enterprises LP, a holding company with $24 billion in assets including activist investing partnerships as well as the Tropicana casinos, an oil refiner and an auto-parts maker. The arrangement expires after Carl turns 80 in 2016, giving Brett the chance to both prove his mettle as a successor and develop a track record to start his own hedge fund.
After hiring Brett as an investment analyst a decade ago, Icahn allocated the $300 million to his son and Schechter in April 2010 to invest in loans and securities of companies with less than $2 billion in equity value. Their investments, internally dubbed the Sargon portfolio, generated a gross cumulative gain of 96 percent by the end of June, according to a July 27 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission…"These two guys doubled our money over the last two years," the elder Icahn said in an interview. "You can't complain about that."

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/15/14
Matt Duchene and P.A. Parenteau are surging for the Colorado Avalanche. The team's top scorers will try to help Colorado win its sixth straight at home Tuesday night against an Edmonton Oilers club finishing up a lengthy trip. Duchene has seven points in his last three games after scoring his second goal of Sunday's 3-2 victory over San Jose just before time expired in overtime. He got his first power-play goal of the season earlier in the contest. The center leads Colorado (10-10-4) with 26 points - one more than Parenteau, who has 10 points during a career-best six-game streak. The Avalanche are enjoying their longest home win streak since an eight-game run last season. "Everything is within reach now," coach Joe Sacco told the Avalanche's official website. "I like the fact that our team is coming to form." Duchene has six points in three 2013 meetings with Edmonton (9-11-5) and 11 in nine career home games against the Oilers, who sit one point behind the Avalanche in the cr...

Kristen Stewart in Chanel Couture | César Awards 2015
WHO: Kristen Stewart
WHERE & WHEN: César Film Awards on February 20, 2015.
WEARING: Chanel Haute Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes
MY VERDICT: Kristen opted for cool glamour when she hit the red carpet for this year's César Film Awards, held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. The 24-year-old became the first American actress nominated for a Supporting Actress award in 30 years when she received a nod for her work in Olivier Assayas' "Sils Maria". She wore a Chanel white bustier dress embroidered with white silk petals and adorned with layered light pink and black belts from the Spring-Summer 2015 Haute Couture collection.
As the face of the spring handbag ad campaign it was pretty much a given that Kristen was going to wear a dress from this collection, and I'm glad it was this one. | continue reading..

Washington, DCUSA 20005
January 6, 2013
I love meeting people and love the Italian language!
I was in search of a language exchange group and found this website while searching on google.
Favorite italian book--that's hard as I haven't read too many, but I love reading Beppe Severgnini's essays and articles. Cinema Paradiso is one of my favorite Italian movies, along with La Bella Gioventu. I'm not well versed in Italian songs or musicians, but have a soft spot for Lunapop and Jovanotti. Favorite food? Too many, too hard to choose! Favorite cities, depends-- To live in: Rome, Bologna, Palermo; To visit: le Cinque Terre, Siena, Lecce.
I speak English and Spanish fluently. Italian I would say I can almost understand everything. In terms of speaking, I can speak at an intermediate-advanced level, but would love to improve that to match my comprehension and also to express myself more fluidly.
No answer yet
Hi! I took Italian language classes in college for a couple years and just spent three months living in Rome and traveling around Italy last year. I belonged to a language group in Rome and would love to do the same here!

Ever since humans learned to domesticate animals, dogs have been loyal companions, protecting owners from harm and comprising all of America's vice presidents. Elect the next Rover Cleveland with this Groupon.
$25 for Full Adoption Fees for One Pet (Up to $160 Value)
This deal covers adoption fees for an animal at any of the Arizona Humane Society's three Phoenix locations. The fee covers a spay or neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, and a follow-up veterinary exam for every animal (if required), as well as a leash, collar, and I.D. tags for dogs or cats. Purchase of this Groupon does not guarantee adoption; prospective owners must be at least 18 years old, complete a preadoption questionnaire, and have a verifiable address where pets are allowed to watch TV.
Though Arizona Humane Society sometimes features discounts on adoption, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
Arizona Humane Society
The Arizona Humane Society has provided shelter and rehabilitation to homeless and abandoned animals since 1957, watching over more than 46,000 dogs, cats, and smaller critters every year as they await new homes. After proving their eligibility for adoption and consulting with the shelter staff, new owners can choose a companion from any of the pets prowling the menagerie, from puppies and kittens up to 9 months old to adult dogs and cats. Rabbits and ferrets also scurry about, searching for farmers' carrots carelessly planted in an animal shelter. For current owners, the society provides low-cost spaying and neutering services as a public service, as well as education and outreach programs to promote compassion and ensure a safe home for all creatures.
