Purse Card
This paper purse card includes a silver paper compact for messages.
Project by Carole Jolene Himmel from Sunrise, Fla.
Materials and Tools:
12" x 12" patterned scrapbook paper
2-3 sheets of matching 12" x 12" solid cardstock
silver paper
purse template
circle cutter
light table
brass stencils
stylus tool
waxed paper
My Accents accessories – brads
scrapbook tape
foam pop-up squares
1. Trace the base purse template on colored cardstock and cut it out.
2. Cut the decorative pieces:
- 4-inch strip of patterned scrapbook paper
- 2-inch strip of solid cardstock
- 1-inch strip of solid cardstock
- 1/2-inch strip of cardstock for the handle
3. Fold a 4" x 8" piece of solid cardstock in half to make a 4" x 4" square. With the circle cutter:
- Cut a 3-1/2-inch diameter circle about 1/2 inch over the fold line to make a compact.
- Cut a 3-1/2-inch diameter circle from the silver paper and coordinating cardstock.
- Cut two 1-inch circles to decorate the purse and compact.
4. Cut 4-, 2-, and 1-inch strips to fit the front and back of the purse.
5. Dry emboss the compact, two 1-inch strips cut to size, and a couple of extra flowers (made from scraps). To dry emboss, place selected brass stencil on the light box and position cardstock upside down over the brass stencil. Run the ball of the stylus tool in the grooves of the brass stencil to create a raised image on the opposite side of the cardstock. Move the cardstock around to get the desired design. Emboss the entire compact, the 2-inch strips and two scraps for the flowers. Tip: Rub wax paper over the cardstock before dry embossing it. This will make embossing the image easier
6. To assemble the purse: Fold the 1/2-inch strip to form the handle. Place on the back inside cover of the purse. Attach the handle to the purse with brads. Cover the raw edges with a folded 2-3/4 inch circle. Tape half of the circle to the back inside cover. Open the circle and close and tape the purse shut, so that the only opening will be the top of the purse where the half circle is sticking out.
7. Tape the 3-inch strip to the front and back of the purse.
8. Tape the 2-inch strip to the front and back of the purse.
9. Tape the 1-inch strip to the front and back of the purse
10. Cut out two flowers that were made with the cardstock scraps. Tape each one onto a 1-inch diameter circle. Place a brad though the center of each one. Put a pop up square on the back on each one. Tape one centered onto the compact and the other centered onto the half circle sticking out of the top of the purse.
11. Place a small square (about 1/2 inch) of Velcro on the inside cover of the half circle sticking out of the top of the purse. Put a matching piece to meet the first one when it closes. Glue the silver circle to the inside of the compact. Write a message on the inside of the compact and insert the compact into the purse. Place in an envelope and mail.

Product Description
Potter's dark vision digs into British stoicism, sexual repression, the class system, and even the coming of fascism in Europe. But it is especially poignant on the subject of the divide between art and reality. Piers Haggard directs the long piece with deft transitions between songs and story. (It was shot partly on multi-camera video, partly on film.) The cast is fine, especially the extraordinary Cheryl Campbell, who imbues her character with keen intelligence and no small measure of perversity. Bob Hoskins triumphs in his star-making part, bringing a demonic energy to his small-time Cockney, nearly bursting his button-down vests with frustration and appetite. Pennies from Heaven was remade in 1981 for the big screen (with Steve Martin), an interesting, Potter-scripted adaptation; it's one of the reasons the original has been unavailable on home video for so long. --Robert Horton

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's election campaign drew to a close on Friday with the weak performance of outgoing premier Mario Monti key to a deeply uncertain and potentially unstable result.
Political leaders were holding their final rallies before a campaigning ban ahead of two days of voting on Sunday and Monday, and analysts said the result was too close to call.
Grabbing headlines and tapping into a national mood of disillusion with politicians and economic austerity, comedian turned wildcard campaigner Beppe Grillo whipped up a crowd of half a million in Rome, telling established parties: "Get out!"
"This vote is not at all certain," said one pollster who asked not to be named because of a ban on the publication of opinion surveys in the fortnight before voting. "One percentage point either way could lead to chaos or a clear winner."
Analysts are divided over whether centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani, who was five points ahead two weeks ago, will be able to form a stable majority capable of pursuing the economic reforms that an uncompetitive Italy needs to exit recession.
Bersani is thought now to be just a few points ahead of centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi but is still seen with a good chance of the winner's bonus of parliamentary seats that will give him comfortable control of the lower house.
However, the election will revolve around the much more complex Senate race, where winners' bonus seats are awarded on a region-by-region basis.
The centre-left and centre-right are close to a draw in several battleground regions, including industrial powerhouse Lombardy, which returns the most senators. Berlusconi formed an alliance with the federalist Northern League because of the importance of populous northern regions in the Senate race.
Monti, a technocrat former European Union commissioner and economics professor who has led a lacklustre centrist campaign, is believed to be fading but analysts disagree about the implications.
Electoral expert Roberto D'Alimonte expressed concern that Monti may fall below the 8-percent threshold to win Senate seats in some regions and said this could be disastrous for Italy.
"What is really important is that Monti does not fall under eight percent in several regions," he told Reuters. "The future of Italy and the euro zone depend on this variable."
The most likely - many say the most stable and pro-reform result from the election - appears to be a governing alliance between Bersani and Monti, which would require the outgoing premier to win enough senators to boost the centre-left.
Bersani has suggested he wants to form an alliance with Monti to give his government credit with the financial markets and a strong law-making mandate, even if the centre-left wins a majority on its own.
For a graphic on last polls link.reuters.com/zyc85t
However, some other analysts believe that Monti is fading particularly in the "red centre" of Italy where the votes he loses will go to Bersani's Democratic Party (PD), increasing the chances of a strong centre-left government which will be able to drive a hard bargain with a weakened Monti over policy.
One of the unstable scenarios after the vote would be a government ranging from leftists to a strong, centrist Monti; that could become entangled in constant policy disputes.
"If Monti doesn't do well in the Senate, it will be to the benefit of the Democratic Party," Maurizio Pessato, vice president of SWG pollsters, told Reuters.
"The key with this electoral system is not Monti, it's the PD winning Lombardy ... If the centre-left wins the Senate outright, it will make an alliance with Monti from a position of strength. There will be a government and stability."
Pollster Nicola Piepoli told Reuters: "Bersani will gain. He is the principal beneficiary of Monti's crisis.
"This makes it more likely that he can win in the Senate."
Whatever government emerges from the vote, it will need to address Italy's deeply uncompetitive economy, in its longest recession for 20 years and effectively stagnant for two decades.
The biggest danger for Italy and the euro zone is that the election produces a weak government incapable of decisive action, spooking investors and igniting a new debt crisis.
The disappointing performance by Monti, darling of the markets and of other European governments, has been a feature of a bitter campaign that has also seen a stunning resurgence by Berlusconi and major success for Genoese comic Grillo, now a potential third force in parliament, who has exploited huge public anger over the economy and a rash of corruption scandals.
The latter two factors have whittled away the centre-left's commanding 10-point lead since December and made the election result increasingly uncertain.
On Friday evening, some 500,000 or more attended the final rally on Grillo's "Tsunami Tour" of the country in Rome's San Giovanni square. The charismatic comedian whipped the crowds into a frenzy as he railed against the establishment, as well as at foreign leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Berlusconi cancelled a planned appearance at a rally in Naples, citing an eye problem. But in an interview on his Canale 5 television channel he made a last-minute promise to raise the lowest retirement pensions to help vulnerable old people.
Monti replaced Berlusconi in November 2011 after the media tycoon had taken Italy towards a perilous debt crisis and became embroiled in a series of scandals. He shored up Italy's credit abroad and sharply reduced the country's borrowing costs.
But he has made a poor candidate in his first election. Experts say he was badly advised, including by U.S. consultants who have worked for President Barack Obama, and clumsily attempted to join in with political mud slinging instead of retaining the aloof, professorial demeanour that has marked his time as prime minister.
"If he was seen by Italians as a robot, then he should have been a robot in the election campaign," said Antonio Noto, head of the IPR polling company. "If you change behaviour then you are not seen as genuine."
Monti was also an easy target for both Berlusconi, whose campaign centred on attacking the prime minister's hated new housing tax and Grillo who nicknamed him "Rigor Montis".

excerpt from a Message to Darly Chagas
from Our Lord's mother:
September 2, 2012
...You have heard that during the time He was visibly on earth teaching His people to follow Him, how He was insulted, criticized and persecuted, all this happened so that the man understood that He allowed it in order for them to know what human disrespect was capable to do, irony, hypocrisy and false followers were those who did their best to incriminate Him in every detail. But these were the ones who better understood that He was the Son of God, but feared that the presence of Jesus Christ could revoke their status as persons considered superior to the people.
But Jesus Christ did not need to measure the force with them, Jesus Christ being God only teaches, has nothing to learn. He is complete, is the man who does not want to accept His Power. The man insists on wanting to reduce the Power of God, is damaging just because has no strength to win, and what happens in the world until the end of time God gave man to recognize that is creature, are big challenges and challenges are cut off with punishment. God does not punish, but the challenges produce only punishment, not victory.
Jesus Christ spoke to the world about what is impure and pure, and everything has to be deeds that come from the heart, the soul, if the man does things that please God, he only receives the blessings of God, God's forgiveness when he does bad things and repents, but if he does things that are not pleasing to God, impure, does not repent of what he does, challenges, insults, disobeys the Commandments, does not love his life, is revolted, does not believe in submission to God, with this ruins his life, he deserves the Hell. Then the man learns from Jesus Christ, He is the Master that came down from Heaven to save those who want Salvation.
Everyone has time to decide and the one who does not want Heaven, you know, will not die without knowing where to go, either outside of earth to suffer and suffer eternally because he refused the offer of God, wanted to be a slave of Hell. God gives the Heaven to all who repent, whoever, if converts, apologizes to God and is worthy of Heaven.
This is what I come to tell you today in this message of conversion.
If you want the Heaven, tell it to God with the heart of the soul,
the doors of the Church of Jesus Christ are open, come all and come in, listen to what God speaks through His true Church, there is no other church, only one, all you have to be inside of it to get to Heaven, who has not been baptized yet, look for Baptism, live all the Sacraments, Be doers of Christian duties,
because it's time for a decision
God does not force man to nothing, only advises, guides and gives everyone the means for man to decide for Happiness, if does not want happiness, he cannot claim because chose what he wanted.
My children, be submissive and will have Eternal Happiness.
Pray, pray, pray for the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, for all the Clergy, for the religious men and women, for all mankind.
Pray for the atheists and pagans, your duty is to help the needy, pray for their conversion.
Pray for the Holy Church founded by Jesus Christ. Let's all hold hands, hearts filled with love to God, to yourself, because God gave you life, full of love for your brothers who could not understand what is the Way of Heaven, pray for them , is the act of love, pray for the Salvation of all.
God does not want to lose souls, wants all to live eternally with Him. Come together, Mother and children, live together eternally in Heaven...

Kinsey and Me
Kinsey and Me has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories (1986-93), each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories, written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator's past even as they reveal a child who, free of parental interventions, read everything and roamed everywhere. But the dark side of such freedom was that very parental distance.

Clumping cat litter in compost
If I only use my compost for ornamentals can I put the clumps from the cat box in it? The pile is comletely caged-in outdoors so the dogs wouldn't be able to get to the clumps (which they sure would). It is a small hoop house that we had for chickens. We took the tarp off and covered the whole thing with chicken wire so varmints can't get in. Mice and small rodents do because they dig under it but that isn't a problem.
Any chemicals in the litter that would be harmful to the soil?
The cat poop, yes.
The clumps of clay/litter/urine ... it depends on what they are using to make it clymp. The plant-based (corn, sawdust, paper) ones that use corn starch polymers decompose quickly. The clay-based ones don't, and leave lumps of clay ceap in the sompost.
I toss the pee balls in the compost fairly regularly.
Here's why.
I put a pee ball in a bucket and added water to see what happens. It turned to foggy water.
I looked up what is in my cat's litter. It includes potassium, similar to a product gardeners purchase by the bag.
I never have enough nitrogen for my piles.. pee is a perfectly good source.
Less stuff going to the landfill to be buried for future generations to deal with.
And last but not least.. my cats prefer one box to poop and one to pee. I have no idea how or why that happened. One of lifes little mysteries.
Thumbs down on the poop. I turn my piles and don't want to revisit that. ick.
Plus too much mental energy to remember where poopie compost ended up over time and what if I change my mind and want to add a veggie/herb or something?
Yaa for pee balls. :)
While there are many people that do put the feces as well as used cat litter in their compost no one with knowledge of the damgers would advise doing that. Because the pets, dogs and cats, live so close to us they are potential carriers of many disease pathogens that adversly affect humans as well as many that affect them and could infect us. From cats that is always Taxoplasmosis and from dogs many others that some dismiss because they have not known anyone that has had these diseases.
Without going into the science of kitty-litter, if one removes the clumping offender, kitty litter is fine to add to your compost pile.
Ninety-five percent of k.l, is clay, the kind that absorbs moisture and is probably as good as putting peat moss into the pile.
Urine has proven to be not harmful when given to the compost pile so any residue of liquid in the litter is also a good addition.
I'm from MO, show me the man who has taken ill from whatever the compost has made contact with him.
I'll try putting some in water and see what happens. In fact, I'll even water a houseplant with the water to see if there is a detrimental effect. It can't go in the toilet because we are on septic and it is hard for me to find a place to dump it that the dogs don't find.
And yes, I agree that getting sick from touching any sort of pet excrement in garden soil is a stretch. Too many important things to worry about.
I went and found an older thread over in Garden Experiments for you. A quick scan now shows it is one that had some interesting links to information.
Oh, and be sure the house plant water is diluted enough, since high nitrogen can burn roots. But you undoubtedly already knew that, I just feel the need to throw it out there.
Here is a link that might be useful: these people are a little too much into kitty poo

Grace, Max and I try to document our favorite products over on Pinterest. We're pretty much always surfing the web looking for new products and it's an easy was to catalog our finds. I love how different (yet similar) we all are when it comes to things we love – you can actually chart the spread of our obsessions – we seem to catch them from one another. Earlier this fall, I bought a fluffy sweater at Zara (Is it just me or is Zara killing it lately?) that probably makes me look like a furry Muppet but I absolutely love it. (Note: it's on crazy sale right now at Zara, so if you know what's good for you, you'll snatch it up.) I love it so much that I've starting looking for things with that same crazy furry look (the sweater is mohair). I've also been on the hunt for baskets and boxes lately. I can't seem to stay on top on the clutter sprawl at home (which usually means I need to do a big purge) but in my mind, I think if I had more baskets, at least things would look a bit neater. You can see all my Pinterest obsessions right here. -Amy
(Note: all the product links are on Pinterest)
Thanks for the tip on Zara! Just bought a black dress. You're the best!
Any info on the mug in this picture? I don't see it on the
Pinterest page. Love!
The new way of linking to Pinterest to find information about a product may actually be a poor way to drive sales for designers. For example, instead of clicking a link directly to the mug, readers now how to scroll through a Pinterest page which takes time they might not have. They may not want to scroll through to find something either (I didn't, I just wanted to know who made the mug!) Would you consider providing links on the blog post as well? Designers and consumers may prefer it. Thanks for all you do!
statistically, consumers actually prefer pinterest. we've done the research. believe me, i wouldn't take traffic away from my site if i didn't think that was what people wanted and were already doing.
people don't have to scroll any longer for this content on pinterest than they do on d*s. we've always kept the sources and full products after the jump, which is one click + scrolling. that's the exact same amount of time and scrolling for this new form, so it's actually not change in time or clicks. i worked really hard to make sure this was a decision worth doing and that it wouldn't be more work for people in terms of time or clicking.
Thanks for your response, Grace. I'd actually like to purchase the mug, and can't find it on the Pinterest page Amy directed to. However, after some google searching, I was directed to More & Co.
thanks emily! i was looking for that too!
…although i didnt find it at the link you posted. the mug is available here.
These are pretty fabulous. Thanks
Super cute accessories- I love it all!

Communities throughout the province are continuing to monitor high water levels after days of heavy rain. The B.C. River Forecast Centre is maintaining a high streamflow advisory for the central interior including Merritt, the Thompson Region, including the Salmon River, Shuswap River, and Eagle River as well as the Okanagan, and the Boundary area. Residents living near the Nicola River are being warned to expect water infiltration in pipes and basements as a result of groundwater seepage. People in that area are again being advised to take extra measures to protect their property.
Wet weather shuts down city fields
Many soccer players and baseball players in Kamloops headed home disappointed Wednesday night. City officials made the decision to shut down all city fields due to the heavy rain that has been soaking them. That rain also broke a 16 year rain record for the city. With more rain expected over the next few days its unclear how long the closures will be in place.
Two men found dead in Kalamalka Lake
Frigid water and ill fitting life jackets are two major reasons for the deaths of two boaters in Kalamalka Lake, near Vernon. Rescuers pulled the two men from the water yesterday, just hours after a major storm swept across the lake.Officials say the lake is so cold that co-ordination of arms and legs would be lost in minutes and the life jackets worn by the men were too large to keep their heads and faces out of the water.
B.C. Senator says Senate expense scandal has hurt its image
While Senator Mike Duffy continues to sit in the senate, a B.C. Senator says if she was in his shoes she would resign. Kamloops Conservative Senator Nancy Green Raine says the whole senate expense scandal has hurt the senate's image. She says fellow Senators are extremely disappointed with Duffy. The Federal NDP is now calling for the senate to be abolished all together. Green Raine says the senate is misunderstood and provides an important system of checks and balances for the Federal government.

The day Zara comes out with its Fall catalogue is the day I really look forward to updating my autumnal wardrobe. Zara has everything from trendy to classic pieces at affordable prices — the quality isn't bad either.
I already got the pleated gray pants from Spring; now all I need are cozy sweaters and coats to complete the look. Current offerings include slick-as-hell outerwear, oversize menswear suits, faux fur vests, kimono-style wrap dresses, and more. Sasha Pivarova does such a stellar job at making the clothes look high-end, she makes me want to run to Zara, like now.

Hotel, Baers Bros. buildings to see
Every building holds a story -- some are just older than others.
Just a couple of the buildings around Becker County worth the story include the Hotel Shoreham and the Baer Brother's Building in Frazee.
The Hotel Shoreham, built in 1910, is celebrating 100 years this summer.

Ever have those moments in life where you realize your vegetable consumption is WAY too scanty?
I usually feel this way after a holiday full of cookies, a birthday full of cake, or a vacation where I've favored margaritas over food groups. Or, heck… sometimes there's no explanation at all. A girl just needs a serious veggie-vention (like, intervention…but, with veggies. It's a stretch. I know) from time to time. It's in these moments that I find myself with insatiable veggie cravings. Like, standing at the kitchen counter shoveling handfuls of plain spring mix into my mouth. Or, shotgunning carrots like a frat boy would do beers. So, I figure I might as well stop grazing like an uncontrollable fridge-savvy rabbit and get down with a giant salad instead. Continue reading

Guest blog by ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker
There's no denying that puppies and kittens are hard to resist—just see the reactions to our recent graduation ceremony at the ASPCA Kitten Nursery. But two other undeniable truths deserve even more of our attention: First, older shelter animals are just as loving, loyal and delightful as young ones. Second, senior animals are typically the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized.
This is why Adopt a Senior Pet Month is so important. Every shelter has older dogs or cats in its care, but stigmas often deprive these animals of the right to be fairly considered.
Some adopters hesitate because they believe older pets are less likely to bond with new owners—this is not the case. While many senior animals have spent years or decades with previous owners, age is not a determining factor in an animal's affection toward new owners or his/her ability to bond with them at any point. In fact, owners often easily form bonds with older pets due to the animals' typically calmer dispositions, their familiarity with home environments, their experience dealing with other animals, and previous training.
Other myths about older pets include them being sick, unfriendly, dirty, and unsafe around young children. But none of that can be assumed any more than one would assume it with a newborn pet. Your local shelter or rescue group will be in the best position to assess potential matches, so be sure to ask lots of questions.
Beyond the misconceptions, there are clear benefits to adopting a senior pet. For starters, their behavior is more predictable because their personalities are already well developed. You'll also know their full-grown size and activity level, and how that might affect your lifestyle.
Senior pets are also easier to train and require less monitoring than puppies or kittens, who sometimes can't distinguish between a safe situation and a dangerous one. It's nice to adopt a dog who likely knows what "no" means.
Additionally, senior animals won't have teething issues and will come into your life already house-trained, meaning they're less likely to cause destruction in your home—especially if you're away for long periods. Older pets are also more accustomed to the predictable daytime and nighttime patterns of humans.
Organizations like Susie's Senior Dogs, Muttville, and The Grey Muzzle Organization work hard to promote senior animals who are at increased risk of euthanasia, but you can play a crucial part by adopting one yourself, as well as by encouraging friends, family and colleagues to do the same. When you adopt an older pet, you're not only bringing incredible joy into your home, but rescuing an animal that's very close to peril.
Some inspiring senior success stories include Marnie, a senior Shih Tzu found abandoned and later adopted in 2012; and Arabelle, a senior pit bull rescued from a massive dog fighting operation we helped dismantle in 2013. Both of these dogs were adopted despite these deeply held misperceptions, and each brought as much love, enjoyment, and loyalty into their new homes as would an animal of any age.
Guest Blog by Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President & CEO
One of the most remarkable things about animal advocacy is that, while our mission has never been more urgent, the opportunity to create substantial and lasting change has never been more obtainable.
Whether you represent an organization with strong support and national reach like the ASPCA, or are simply in a position to make a difference locally, every effort has a life-saving impact.
Last week, we recognized some of the most remarkable people and animals on the front lines of that effort by bestowing our annual ASPCA Humane Awards. The recipients we honored include incredibly resilient dogs and cats, organizations tackling animal cruelty and transforming communities, a congressional leader who championed compassion like no other, and a child who gave her most valuable gift to animals in need.
Collectively, they open our eyes to not only to the challenges of protecting animals from cruelty, but also, our ability and duty to better their lives, and – as a result – improve our own. I hope these stories are shared and appreciated so that such laudable behavior will one day shift from remarkable acts by dedicated individuals to social norms of our entire culture.
To that end, I share these stories with you now.
ASPCA® Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year, Annika Glover
Alabama native Annika Glover, 11, had been battling a cancerous brain tumor for nearly four years. But when she became a participant in the Make-A-Wish program, she put the needs of vulnerable animals ahead of her own. Annika used her one wish to save shelter animals. This wish was granted by the Alabama chapter of Make-A-Wish, which donated $7,000 in Annika's name to the Pets Are Worth Saving (P.A.W.S.) rescue group in Florence, Alabama. With her cancer now in remission, Annika spends much time volunteering at shelter events.
ASPCA® Presidential Service Award recipient, Congressman Jim Moran
When Congressman Jim Moran announced that he would retire at the end of his term in 2014, it became clear that animals would lose a longtime ally in Congress. Moran's unwavering dedication to ending animal cruelty gave a compassionate voice to the voiceless in the halls of Congress. The twelve-term Congressman from Northern Virginia has been one of Capitol Hill's strongest champions for animal welfare, advocating for causes including ending horse slaughter, cracking down on abusive animal fighting, and introducing a bill to phase out animal testing for cosmetics in the United States. As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, Rep. Moran worked with legislators on both sides of the aisle to create humane, common-sense legislation, ensuring a strong legacy of accomplishments and advocacy that will no doubt inspire other leaders.
Cat of the Year, Studley
Studley the cat was found abandoned and starved along the side of the road in Washington state in 2006. After making a full recovery, Studley became a therapy cat—giving love and comfort to people in need. The only therapy cat in the program out of more than 30 animals in the Providence Animal-Assisted Activities and Therapy program (PAAA/T), Studley has been a regular visitor to the Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Washington, where's he's offered comfort to patients of all ages since 2007.
Dog of the Year, Jonny Justice
Jonny Justice was one of 49 dogs rescued from unimaginable cruelty as part of the 2007 Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation, resulting in the conviction of NFL quarterback Michael Vick and others.
The ASPCA assisted in the recovery and analysis of forensic evidence from Vick's property, which helped convict him of operating a competitive dog fighting ring, a federal offense that led to prison terms for Vick and three co-defendants. We conducted medical and behavioral evaluations on the rescued dogs, and placed the 48 who were behaviorally fit for rehabilitation with sanctuaries, rescues, foster homes and adopters throughout the country.
The black and white pit bull, who previously had few if any positive interactions with people or other dogs, was given a new life when he was adopted by foster parents in San Francisco. In 2008, Jonny found his true calling as a therapy dog with a particular affection for children, participating in programs where children practice their language skills by reading aloud to him. These days he spends much of his time offering love and support to terminally ill children receiving medical treatment, and inspired a line of plush toys in his image.
ASPCA® Henry Bergh Award recipient, Lori Weise of Downtown Dog Rescue
During her daily commute eighteen years ago to a furniture factory on the edge of Skid Row in Los Angeles, Lori Weise routinely saw stray dogs suffering from terrible abuse and horrific neglect. Inspired to act, Lori and her coworkers created Downtown Dog Rescue, which has evolved into a large volunteer-based animal charity that rescues dogs and assists underserved communities in South East Los Angeles, Watts and Compton. In 2013, Downtown Dog Rescue created the South L.A. Shelter Intervention Program, which provides pet owners resources to keep their pets at home, rather than abandon them or relinquish them to shelters.
ASPCA® Public Service Award recipient, Commissioner William J. Bratton on behalf of the New York City Police Department
In early 2014, the ASPCA initiated a historic and groundbreaking partnership with the NYPD in which the NYPD responds to all animal cruelty complaints city-wide, while the ASPCA provides expanded direct care support for animal cruelty victims. Thanks to the dedication of tens of thousands of NYPD officers—newly-trained and firmly on the case of animal abuse—animal cruelty arrests in the first six months of the program increased nearly 160 percent, and the number of animals rescued and treated by the ASPCA increased 180 percent. This past summer, the NYPD formed the department's first Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, which will solely focus on serving the abused and neglected animals of the city, making New York City one of the safest places in America for animals.
Guest blog by Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President & CEO
Renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead once famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Mead was talking about improving the world for humans, but it's just as relevant and accurate when we talk about improving the world for animals.
Across the country, animal welfare advocates and shelters are uniting to defy the idea that we can't do more to significantly reduce the need for euthanasia. The truth is we can do better, inspire more, and increase the number of lives we save year in and year out. We must, given the millions of lives still at stake, and so many people who care.
Nowhere is that truth more obvious than in the results of our ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, which ends a remarkable five-year run this year. Since 2010, hundreds of Challenge contestants have dedicated themselves during June, July, and August to increase their adoption numbers over the previous year. They saved thousands of lives through hard work, creativity, collaboration, and a complete dedication to not only achieving success, but to redefining what's possible.
This summer alone, 50 competing shelters saved 16,789 more lives than they did last summer, which is more than twice the increases we saw when we started in 2010. The overall results are even more staggering. From 2010 to 2014, Challengers saved more than 282,000 lives, an increase of nearly 60,000 cats and dogs, with dozens of animal shelters increasing their adoptions by 100 percent or more compared to previous years.
Saving lives is the most critical part of this program, but the positive effects of community dedication go beyond that. In these engaged cities and towns, local adopters are honored, and animal adoption is celebrated. Effective adoption tactics are shared widely, so that shelters from coast to coast—be they well-resourced or struggling to handle intake—can benefit. In the end, success is not restricted to a single moment for one community or shelter. Instead, seeds are planted well into the future for longstanding commitment across the country.
This is our hope, and this is our expectation. Because if we've learned anything from the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge—and the nearly 300,000 families who opened their hearts and homes to cats and dogs— it's that thoughtful, committed shelters and engaged communities can indeed transform the world.

Just because most disasters strike with little or no warning doesn't mean we can't effectively prepare for them. But while a lot of attention has been devoted to disaster planning for people, disaster planning for pets is all too often left out of the conversation, with tragic results. September may be National Preparedness Month, but the truth is we should always be preparing –with both ourselves and our pets in mind—so we can always be ready.
As experts in both disaster preparedness and response, the ASPCA is very aware of this peril. Following Hurricane Sandy, we assisted more than 30,000 pets in New York and New Jersey, distributing nearly 40 tons of pet supplies to impacted pet owners, and sheltering nearly 280 displaced pets. This summer, we released our first-ever ASPCA smartphone app, which includes disaster preparedness and pet survival tips, a tool to store and manage your pet's vital information, as well as practical tips and a customizable kit for recovering lost pets.
We put a lot of effort into keeping pets safe, but the biggest role belongs to their owners. Yet, according to a national ASPCA poll, more than one-third of cat and dog owners don't have a disaster preparedness plan in place, and only one-quarter say their animals are micro-chipped. In the Northeast, nearly half of dog owners and cat owners say they don't know what they would do with their pets in an evacuation, while slightly more pet owners in the South – where hurricanes are more common – are aware.
This lack of preparedness can have dire consequences. During Hurricane Katrina, approximately 10,000 animals were evacuated, but less than half were reunited with their families, according to Dr. Dick Green, our senior director of disaster response.
These outcomes aren't inevitable. Let's work together to share and take advantage of these valuable suggestions from our veteran rescuers:
- Make sure all pets wear collars and tags with up-to-date identification
- Microchip your pets and register the chip. It may be their ticket home if they become lost
- Build a portable pet emergency kit with items such as medical records, water, pet food, medications and pet first aid supplies
- Affix a pet rescue sticker to your windows (Get a free one here)
- Have current photos of your pets on hand
- Arrange a safe haven for your pets in the event of evacuation, and never leave them behind
- Identify ahead of time where you'll bring your pets -- whether it's a relative's house or a pet-friendly hotel -- because not all emergency facilities accept animals
- Remember: any home unsafe for people is also unsafe for pets
Here's a list of items pet owners should include in their pet preparedness kits:
- Pet first-aid kit (ask your vet what to include)
- 3-7 days' worth of canned or dry food
- Disposable litter trays (aluminum roasting pans work well)
- Litter or paper toweling
- Liquid dish soap and disinfectant
- Disposable garbage bags
- Pet feeding dishes
- Extra collars or harnesses, as well as an extra leash
- Photocopies of medical records – or you can store them on the ASPCA App
- A waterproof container with a two-week supply of any medicine your pet requires (make sure to regularly replace expired food and medicines in your kit)
- At least a week's worth of bottled water for you and your pet (store in a cool, dry place and replace every two months)
- A traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each pet
- A flashlight
- A blanket (for scooping up a fearful pet)
- Recent photos of your pets (in case you are separated and need to make "Lost" posters)
- Especially for cats: A pillowcase as a crate alternative, and large bags for supplies, toys, and scoopable litter
- Especially for dogs: Extra leash, toys and chew toys, a week's worth of cage liner
Even if conditions are safe enough to stay home, you may still need to calm pets scared by lightning and loud noises. Prepare a small, safe space in which they can be comfortable, consider closing curtains and shades, play classical music or white noise to muffle the sounds, and most importantly, keep them inside.
Like most humans, animals don't respond well to chaos. With hurricane season not ending until November, it's critical for pet owners to be the true "first responders"— knowing just what to do when their beloved companions need them most.
Tune in tonight at 7:00 P.M. ET for our Google+ Hangout with the ASPCA's Dick Green and Deborah Press as well as representatives from FEMA, USDA, and the Joplin Humane Society. We'll discuss the challenges of keeping pets safe during an emergency. The discussion will be moderated by ABC News meteorologist Ginger Zee, and includes an appearance by Joy, an ASPCA-rescued Sandy survivor.
Guest blog by ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker
With somewhere between 5 and 7 million homeless animals entering U.S. animal shelters, it's unconscionable to suggest, as one writer did in the Washington Post, that adopting a pet from an animal shelter is a bad idea. (See a comprehensive refutation from Washington Humane Society's Lisa Lafontaine.)
But as ridiculous as anti-shelter arguments are, they reveal destructive myths about shelter animals that need to be called out every time they arise. I'm sharing some of the most persistent ones below, and have enlisted help from ASPCA shelter science experts to help dispel them.
Myth: The major reasons dogs end up in shelters is because they were seized in criminal cases, or were too aggressive to own safely.
More than half of all dogs and cats in shelters were received as strays, but that doesn't mean by any stretch they're automatically aggressive, come from abusive environments, or have medical challenges. What's much more important than an animal's history is its current behavior and medical status. This information is typically well-known and shared by shelter staff who've been caring for the animal.
Myth: Shelter animals are not as clean as pet store animals.
Not only is this untrue, but the conditions of many breeding facilities or puppy mills (which supply pet stores that sell dogs) are nothing short of horrific. Puppy mill operators may fail to remove sick dogs from their breeding pools. As a result, puppies from puppy mills sometimes come with congenital and hereditary conditions including epilepsy, heart disease, kidney disease, and respiratory disorders.
Puppies born in puppy mills are usually removed from their mothers at just six weeks of age, denying them critical socialization, and housed in overcrowded and unsanitary wire-floored cages, without adequate veterinary care, food or water. Make no mistake: Anything purchased at a pet store that sells animals—even supplies—is keeping this vicious industry in business.
Myth: Older cats and dogs will not bond with new owners.
Again, simply untrue. Age is not a determining factor in an animal's affection toward humans or its ability to bond with them. Just ask anyone who's adopted an older pet, visit a shelter and ask to see their older animals, or simply look into the face of an older dog or cat. Organizations like Susie's Senior Dogs are trying hard to connect more senior animals with loving homes. Believe me, they're ready for you.
Myth: A shelter animal should never be given as a gift.
To the uninformed, this may makes sense, but data shows otherwise. A scientific study we published last October found that 96 percent of people who received pets as gifts reported it either increased or had no negative impact on their attachment to that pet. Also, 86 percent of the pets in the study are still in their homes, a percentage roughly equivalent to that in standard adoption.
The survey also showed no difference in attachment based on whether the gift was a surprise or known in advance. This is supported by previous studies conducted in the 1990s and 2000, which found that pets acquired as gifts are actually less likely to be relinquished than pets acquired directly by an individual owner.
This misconception is particularly harmful because it not only prevents shelter animals from going into loving homes, but may drive potential adopters toward pet stores that almost always get their inventory from puppy mills.
Myth: Adopting big or very strong dogs is a bad idea if you have little children.
There's no evidence that big dogs are more likely than small dogs to harm children. Chances are, you already know some very sweet big dogs, and if you don't, the ASPCA or your local shelter would be happy to introduce you to one.
There's been some recent debate about the inherent natures of pit bulls in particular, but again, there's no evidence to show that pit bulls are more likely to cause harm to humans than any other breed. A dog's—any dog's—behavior is a function of many factors, including breeding, socialization, training, environment and treatment by owners.
Myth: Getting animals from breeders is safer because the breeders know the animal's bloodline and family history.
First know that, as a result of their breeding, purebred dogs very often have genetic disorders and medical issue predispositions, certainly no less often than shelter dogs. Also, while bloodlines and histories are useful tools to assess an animal's value, they are limited in terms of predicting behavior. On the other hand, shelters are motivated to save lives and make strong matches. Some use science and sophisticated tools to appropriately pair up animals and owners, and are happy to share everything they know about each animal.
Good breeders are focused not on profit, but on the health and welfare of the individual animals they handle, and we applaud that. But the plain truth is you're helping to save and protect more lives if you make adoption your first option, so please match your open home and open heart with an open mind.

I'm Just Sayin: The circle remains unbroken
DuWayne Paul - "I'm Just Sayin'
One of the most famous country music songs of all time was a song by the Carter Family called Will the Circle be Unbroken. It's a song about hope for the future and wanting to make this a better place, but things just seem to repeat themselves. That theme seems to be what we see time after time in Washington, D.C., no matter who the president is or what party is running the House and Senate.

THE Cowley-built Mini Hatch has been hailed as "head and shoulders above the competition" after picking up a top industry award.
Bosses were last night celebrating after the third generation of the car was crowned Auto Express Car of the Year 2014 to the delight of workers at the plant where special celebrations will be laid on marking the achievement.
Tom Bradford, body shop production manager, said: "It is fantastic news. We are all over the moon and it gives us a sense of pride.
"We have been committed to this new car for years in terms of preparation and training and development and this is a vindication of all that effort. People appreciate what we have delivered here."
Mini parent company BMW has invested £750m in the production of the new car launched in November 2013 and has built 30,000sq m of extra manufacturing space on to the body shop to accommodate it.
But even with that, demand is expected to exceed supply quickly with the car now being on sale in 114 countries worldwide, the latest additions being Angola, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
As a result, a new plant in Holland will open tomorrow, which is set to boost production to more than 400,000 cars a year.
Mini spokesman Maarten Abele added: "Oxford is no longer capable of meeting the clamour for this car. The car will be sold in even more places and the new plant will help deliver cars more quickly to the customer."
- The body shop at BMW Mini at Cowley
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith greeted the news as "fantastic".
He said: "It is a very fitting tribute to the effort put in by everybody at the plant. The Mini has exceeded the expectations of everybody at BMW and the fact they are starting to manufacture in Holland is because of the scale of its success in Oxford."
As well picking up the overall Car of the Year title, the Mini was also voted Best Premium Small Car at the awards.
The car costs from £13,750 and went on sale in November 2013.
Auto Express editor Steve Fowler said the new version of the car was "way ahead" of rivals such as the Fiat 500 and Vauxhall Adam.
He added: "There are a lot of small, premium cars coming on the market but the Mini is head and shoulders above them.
"This generation and the last may look similar but that is about it as the new car is so advanced. It has the fittings you would expect on a much more expensive car and there is masses of technology on board.
"We love the way it drives and it is also built brilliantly in Britain – a car the UK can be proud of."

I loved the programs. I liked that they were printed on both sides so you didn't have to open and close a program, just flip it over. They were perfect for my daughters peacock themed wedding.
Amazing Wedding Programs!
Absolutely loved our wedding programs!!! Wonderful people to work with in getting exactly what we needed!!! Thank you so much:)
My item came in absolutely perfect. They are nearly identical to what is shown and what you expect to receive!! I have used this company in the past and will continue to use it based on my amazing experience.
Great Product.
I personalized these programs with purple, black, and white. They looked great. I was a little surprised at how thin they were, I expected them to be printed on thicker than normal, paper. Regardless, they are very pretty and I cannot wait to hand them out at my wedding. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Why not use the existing mech scripts that Reborn uses?
This member has provided no bio about themself...
Why not use the existing mech scripts that Reborn uses?
I might be interested, if you're still looking for a coder. I work as a software developer as my day job (C/C++/Java/C#/etc) and also write all the scripts for the W3D based game Apocalypse Rising (http://www.moddb.com/games/red-alert-2-apocalypse-rising).
I'm curious about how you plan to implement the multi-player aspect of the game, is it simply several players defending their own castles against their own waves of enemies or is there going to be some interaction between players (either assisting each other with cooperative upgrades a-la SimCity 2013, or making life more difficult for the enemies by redirecting some of their own waves to attack other players via some means).
Also, you mentioned in your first news item a custom engine, but the mod profile lists CryEngine3 as the engine... is it a custom version of CE3 or have you switched engines at some point?
- Daniel
Indeed it did, but we can't balance things exactly as they were in RA2 because an FPS game has equal players on each side so it's not possible for the Allies to simply outnumber the Soviets all the time to balance the firepower each side has.
That being said we will be sticking as close to RA2 as possible without making it unfairly balanced against either team and it's a good bet the War Miner will be a lot tougher in the future.
I think it's supposed to say "wrenching" in Bulgarian or something, but I don't know either language so I don't really know.
It's for the SEAL
I hope when you put them ingame that they are smaller than they were in Renegade, you could hardly see anything past the great big reticle filling half your screen in Renegade!
And I like the enter vehicle one, very novel.
The V3 Rockets speed will be increased in a future test build, it's in the list of changes planned for the alpha builds which was included in the latest blog.
Press F8, type hud 0 and hit enter. Requires latest scripts.dll and also a modified bandtest.dll to work properly.
Don't forget the boxtanks!
The engine *can* handle shaders, but nobody made any for this mod yet...
Correction, the *latest* PR guy is missing.... we seem to have problems keeping active PR guys :P
Did you use the scripts.dll installer, or just install them by copying the dll files?
Interesting... did you install over an existing scud storm installation, or was it a clean installation to a brand new folder?
I have never installed SP3 due to compatibility issues with my hardware, so I don't know if it has any effect on Renegade's game.exe.
If your using Vista make sure to right click, go to properties, compatibility and set it to XP SP2 compatibility mode.
OWA: If you hadn't posted one, I would have posted some random crap in it's place, so they had a lucky escape there xD
But it is patch 1, the 1.00 is the original beta version from ages ago. Changed the download name to 1.01, since that's effectivly the same thing.
Patch installer has now been authorised by the ModDB staff, and you should be able to download it.
For clarity;
Veteran units take 10% less damage, deal 10% more damage, are 10% more accurate and reload 10% faster.
Elite units have the same set of changes, but 25% instead of 10%.
It's armour was reduced in a subsequent patch, the video was meant to show how it functions ingame, but was by no means the final setup.
I think you meant only VEHICLES have camos at the moment :P
Yes, both AR and APB are developed by the Bluehell Productions team.
And the British Sniper will make an appearance in the second(?) release, along with the random country selector, see some of the older blogs for more information about that.
Tell me about it, the old one was terrible :P
Allied tanks will have camouflage too, we are just waiting for the modellers to stop messing around with the models all the time so we can unwrap and retexture them all.
Apart from anything else, we actually have more vehicles ingame and working than we do infantry at the moment, so an infantry beta would be a major step backwards.
Servers support up to 127 players, but normally server hosts set the maximum player count lower than that as it starts to lag badly with higher player counts. Most likely the official server(s) will be around the 40-50 player mark, but don't quote me on that.
Indeed, the fourth position one was my favourite too, but the team voted otherwise *shrug*
Nope, it has no weapons. But there was talk of giving it some kind of spray weapon or something... I don't remember exactly
Testers are picked from among the most active and positive members of the official forums, keep an eye on both the APB and AR blogs there to see when we are recruiting new testers, but it likely won't be happening for a while yet as we just brought in a load of new, active, testers.
You can't yet, as the profile states it is not yet released. Keep an eye on the forums and the ModDB profile to watch the development and you will see when it is released.
Well we have some of the maps setup with AI for testing, so we might release AI versions of some maps when we get to release stage for single player or small groups of players to have some fun. Bots tend to lag a bit in multiplayer though, so it's not recommended for large games.
Normally they are low poly, yes, but ROTD was using a fairly high poly count for a Generals mod, and anything we do use would probably be modified to include more polys. Or something like that...
Yeah, OWA is aware that there are a few issues with the model, and it is still a WIP. I probably should have mentioned that on the news article actually... oh well :P
As for the 0.5 moustache mentioned in the post above yours, that's a limitation of the auto-generation software OWA used due to the shadow on that side of the image he fed in, but that will obviously be fixed.
I am pretty sure the killing your computer thing was just a rumour that someone started. I installed it a few times on various machines and versions of windows and never had a problem with it.
You will struggle to find anyone else to play it with though, it is a REALLY old version with a lot of bugs and glitches.
It's still a WIP, as you can tell by the facial hair being entirely missing on one side of his face!
