Fendi Watches
Fendi is an Italian company that was founded in Rome in1925. The brand was founded by Eduardo and Adele Fendi in a tiny leather goods shop in Rome, Italy. They worked with private clients as they still do today as one of Italy's most important and influential fashion brands. Like many other Italian fashion lines producing luxury goods, the Fendi company is a family dynasty owing a great deal of its success to the strong blood links comprising an intrinsic part of the business. After the death of their father in 1954 Fendi Turned to the 5 children of Adele and Edoardo to run the business. In a time in which Italy struggled to cope with post-war reconstruction, is when the Fendi daughters bring in new ideas and fresh energy into the Fendi brand lifting it to its round the world popularity. Fendi is famous for its trademark "F" logo on which they put on both the bracelet and chronograph watches. This actually was the design that made Fendi watches famous and elegant timepieces from their inception.

I scribed the tile in my 1/96 LA last year and was pleased with the results. Just haven't had time to go back and do the hull. The link for that thread is here:
Gerwalk wrote:Woodstock: what is the boat? The new Alanger's Typhoon in 1/350 ? In that case the tiling is really missed. Those tiles are even seen in the smallest photos of the real thing. Trying to scribe them is an option but a painful one at this scale... I guesstimate that they are 60 cm long so in 1/350 that is: 1.7 mm long. Not easy to scribe that.

HL1 and Source engine games run nearly flawlessly under Wine 1.3.0. If (and I emphasize "if"), Steam is getting ported to GNU/Linux, I would say it's a good bet that Steam will be available in the 32 bit x86 flavor only. This means people running GNU/Linux in the AMD64 flavor may have to compile and install some shared libraries for 32 bit. Also, different distros have different versions of shared libraries and install these libraries to different file names and different paths. I think we'll find that Steam on GNU/Linux will not support GNU/Linux in general, but support Ubuntu, or Fedora, or some other specific distro and only support it in the 32 bit x86 flavor. I perfer to run Debian testing AMD64 and I seriously doubt that Valve will support the GNU/Linux Steam client on Debian testing AMD64. Therefore, even if Steam comes GNU/Linux, I will most likely continue to run the Windows version under Wine.
Valve, if you read this, please don't bother with porting Steam to GNU/Linux. Just contribute some code to Wine and make Steam as compatible as possible with all distros.

For today, I got a little carried away with the charcoal and had temps north of 750 on the stone, so things were a little quicker than normal. This was a 2:30 bake. I think I'll return back to the 650 range as I prefer that over today's results.
There were a few areas on the bottom that were a bit over-charred. My normal technique is to check the bottom at about 1 minute and throw a screen underneath for the rest of the cook. But, I have been having a recurring problem where the outside perimeter of the bottom (directly under the cornicione) seems to char faster that the rest. Is that typical for higher temp cooking?

Why play sports? You might say "to get exercise" and you'd be right. To have fun? That's true, too. But there's more. In fact, there are at least 5 more reasons. According to the Women's Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.

It is always some where on the Internet and Lex0807 found it. We're gearing up for Turkey Day over here at Mania and we're trying to supply you Maniacs with some great dinner conversation. Here is the extended trailer, from Comic Con, for the Man of Steel (linked here) from IGN Espana. Again, kudos to Lex0807 for finding it.
Too bad the quality was so horrible. Clearly this was a cam inside the theater but nevertheless it gives something to look forward.
Better quality than previous ones I've seen from the comic con presentation, but still pretty poor.
Not sure if I'm more excited for the trailer before The Hobbit or The Hobbit itself!
Even the bad quality video couldn't hide the awesomeness of the trailer! I can' wait!
Yeah still not convinced. Besides, Marvel still has DC bent over the couch and making her take in the ass. Period. Not really seeing anything different or to write home about.
Im there opening day...But have little expectations. EXCELLENT choice for Clark/Superman, but I feel that Nolan has actually hurt WB CBMs more than he helped them initially....at least in the big picture.
And Zod was a horrible, horrible choice.
But Im REALLY REALLY wanting a great Superman movie. Please dont screw this up WB like everything else.
Will always remain skeptical until I see more. However, I am hoping it turns out awesome. I need a great Superman movie.

When the Elric brothers recklessly attempted to raise their mother from the dead, the horrors they unleashed marked the beginning of a long journey into the darkest corners of the cruelty of mankind. Now, destinies are converging for those who remain to fight for the light of salvation.
The hunt for the truth behind truths is growing more desperate, and ruined Ishbal waits at the end of a road choked with wreckage both human and soulless. Amid rumors of new war and resurrected horrors of the past, hidden masters rush their pawns down this path of betrayal and doubt. As these seekers of the Philosopher's Stone grasp for answers, the most sacred tenet of Alchemy is questioned: the Law of Equivalent Exchange.
But the harshest judgment is reserved for the belief on which the Elrics have built their lives - the faith in an unbreakable bond between brothers. Weary and broken, Edward and Alphonse must face the ultimate sacrifice. Will it be enough to make them whole?
Contains episodes 26-51.
Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English subtitles.
*Episode #36 - Interview with Vic Mignogna, the English voice of "Edward Elric" **Episode #92 - If.../then with Christy

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
NOTES:This training is a prerequisite of another NHI training and is offered at no cost.
Value Engineering (VE) is a systematic process of review and analysis of a project during the concept and design phases.

This Web-based training is intended to provide an overview of the Value Engineering process, know as the Value Engineering study. Included in the training is a discussion of the benefits of utilizing VE, the keys to completing a successful VE study, and an overview of the objectives and tasks completed by the VE team at each phase.
Participants can complete this training independently. Those who plan on attending the 3-day Value Engineering classroom training must complete this online module prior to coming to class. Course certificates should be printed out and presented to the instructor on the first day to verify completion.

AAC@128kbps listening test - CLOSED, Everyone is invited |
AAC@128kbps listening test - CLOSED, Everyone is invited |
Jun 4 2003, 22:53
Rarewares admin Group: Members Posts: 7515 Joined: 30-September 01 From: Brazil Member No.: 81 |
I just started a new public listening test.
Addition: a specific web site for the test has been created: http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org/test/ The purpose is to find what encoder performs best encoding AAC at 128kbps The encoders and parameters tested are: Psytel AACenc 2.15 -br 128 Ahead/Nero 220.127.116.11 128kbps CBR, high quality Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 (FhG Pro) 128kbps Apple QuickTime 6.3 (Dolby) 128kbps high quality FAAC 1.17b -a 64 (64kbps/channel) --Who should take the test? Anyone interested in AAC quality, or people that have no interest but would like to help making this test better. You don't need excellent hearing, but some good gear is welcome (headphones are must-have). --How do I take the test? Download ABC/HR + the readme file here or here. If you already have ABC/HR, get the readme here. Further instructions, and links to the sample packages, are inside the readme. For people using BitTorrent: I strongly suggest you download using it. The torrents are available here: http://static.hydrogenaudio.org/extra/AACTest/ It would help me save bandwidth and you will probably download faster too The average size of the sample packages is 4Mb. It sums to 47Mb, all the 12 packages. Edit: For those that already downloaded packages, read here --I'm on Linux/MacOS/something other than Windows. Can I take the test? You can. But you won't be able to use the ABC/HR utility, that is Win32 only. Since the reference file must be hidden (That's the HR in the name), tests performed without it wouldn't be valid. So, I can't plot your scores against others. But your comments on sample quality and artifacts would still be welcome. --When will the test finish? The test is scheduled to end on June 15. This date may be extended if proved necessary. If you have any other question, please post in this thread. Thank-you very much, Roberto.

"They say you forget your troubles on a trout stream, but that's not quite it. What happens is that you begin to see where your troubles fit into the grand scheme of things, and suddenly they're just not such a big deal anymore." —John Gierach
I love the fall. It has to be my favorite time of year.
The problem is there is just too much to do.
Deer season opened this week. I grew up hunting and fishing. But until last year, I had taken several years off from deer hunting, largely due to time constraints. I got back in the game last year but my hunting efforts were minimal due to the hot weather. This year the weather looks more promising for deer hunting so I am going to devote more time to it.
I have collected a few easily recognized edible mushrooms for many years. But I have gotten much more serious about mushroom hunting. It is really a fascinating pursuit and the rewards are delicious. Recent rains have mushrooms popping so I am going to devote more time to that as well.
I really enjoy working in my vegetable garden. I love cooking with the meager harvest the deer leave behind for me. I have completed much of the harvest in anticipation of an early freeze. But there is still work to do so I am going to spend lots of time in my garden.
And then there is the fishing. I believe fall offers the best fishing of the year. So much water and so little time.
There is just so much to do that something has to give. I think I have a solution.
I will just have to work less for the next several weeks.
I think I will get off to a proper start by taking next week off. Accordingly, there will not be a fishing report next week.
I will be gone fishing.
Lake Almanor
The water level is dropping and the temperatures are decreasing. While the fish are starting to scatter more, the best fly-fishing is around Hamilton Branch and the mouth of the North Fork where big trout are still seeking cool water. Woolly buggers, wiggle tail nymphs and pond smelt imitations on a type 3 sinking line are getting fly anglers into some nice fish.
Reports from trollers have been a little thin this past week due to the windy and sometimes wet weather.
Fast action lures trolled at 30 to 40 feet had been the ticket recently. That is probably still the best bet although the fish should be coming up a bit into shallower water, especially early in the morning. A good fish finder is the key to finding the right depth and the right depth is critical to catching fish.
Bass fishing is reportedly dropping off although I know a couple bass anglers who do really well this time of year. Try crankbaits along the drop-offs. Cover lots of water until you find fish.
Look for big brown trout in pre-spawn mode. They will be staging near shallow water with gravel and springs near by. If you do catch any of these big bruisers, treat them carefully and release them gently. They are critical to replenishing Almanor's excellent brown trout fishery.
Butt Lake
The powerhouse is still running and the inlet is where the big fish are. Try nymphs on the creek side and pond smelt imitations on the powerhouse side. Bait dunkers are taking an occasional fish but be prepared to put some time in.
Bucks Lake
The water level is low and dropping. Boat launching is becoming a bit more challenging as the water drops. Fishing is very good. The kokanee are still deep and a bit scattered but fish are beginning to stage in front of Mill Creek and Bucks Creek. The fishing will only get better for the next few weeks as the kokanee get closer to spawning.
This is a great time of year for a Bucks Lake slam: kokanee, rainbow, brown, brook and lake trout can all be caught in the same trip.
Eagle Lake
Fly-fishing is starting to pick up with fish moving into the shallows.
Lake Davis
Best reports are from Cow Creek and Jenkins Cove on the west side where a wide variety of tactics are hooking rainbows up to 20 inches. Buggers and damsels are hooking fish on intermediate to type 3 sinking lines; blood midges, snails and scuds are catching fish under an indicator with a floating line. Some Callibaetis are still around in the afternoon if it is not windy.
The fall bite has begun at Lake Davis, according to local guide and Lake Davis expert Jon Baiocchi of Baiocchi's Troutfitters (228-0487). Every day will improve until the peak, which should occur near the end of October.
On the menu for the trout is a very good Callibaetis hatch with rising fish on the bank and in open water when the wind is down. The little chartreuse midge is out with a sparse amount of blood midges as well.
Jon says all styles of fly-fishing are producing: floating line and long leaders off the bank, covering water in a personal watercraft with an intermediate line, and deep indicator presentations. Top flies include burnt orange wiggle tail nymphs, pheasant tail flashbacks, sheep creek specials and olive woolly buggers.
October is a great time to fish our local streams. The fishing is getting better as the water cools. The deciduous trees are starting to show their fall colors and fishing pressure is very light.
The North Fork Feather is fishing well, according to Tom Maumoynier of Lake Almanor Fly Fishing Co. in Chester. Nymph fishing has been most effective.
October caddis are starting to hatch. These big (size 12) bugs make for some really fun fishing. Warner Creek is low, according to Tom. There are some small evening hatches. Hopper imitations work well, especially on warm and windy afternoons.
Hatches are sparse on Deer Creek but trout are eager to rise early and late to attractors in the pocket water. Nymphs are working in the middle of the day. Fishing a stimulator with a small beadhead nymph dropper in the shade will find eager fish. There are plenty of stocked trout above Deer Creek Falls and wild trout below.
Mill Creek is in good shape. Dark flies in the evening are working best.
Upper Hamilton Branch is in good shape. Nymph fishing has been best and there are some evening hatches. There are some bigger fish are in lower section. Try a beadhead nymph in the pocket water.
Nymphing the Hamilton Branch with a beadhead through the pocket water is also producing some big rainbows.
The Middle Fork of the Feather River is cooling and the fishing is improving. Fish the riffles and tailouts around Sloat and Nelson Creek. The best fishing is early and late with a dry/dropper set up. Look for caddis in the evening.

Former Durango resident Maureen Kay (Millikan) O'Donoghue died unexpectedly Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. "As heartbreaking as it was, she chose the timing of her departure from this life," her family said. She was 51.
Known as "Mo," she was born to Maurice and Joyce Millikan on Aug. 17, 1961, in Missoula, Mont. She graduated from Sentinel High School in 1980.
After high school, Mrs. O'Donoghue attended some college before entering the Air Force, where she met her future husband, Greg O'Donoghue. The couple married Sept. 30, 1983.
"Greg tragically died in a motorcycle accident near Durango on July 25, 1988," her family said. "Greg was truly Maureen's partner in life, and she never truly recovered from losing him."
Mrs. O'Donoghue lived in many different places and gathered numerous memories and friends along the way, her family said. She lived in Durango for several years, and it remained one of her favorite places.
"Maureen loved the outdoors and animals," her family said.
Mrs. O'Donoghue was preceded in death by her husband of five years, Greg O'Donoghue.
She is survived by her father, Maurice Millikan, of Bonner, Mont.; brother, Donald Millikan, of Liberty Lake, Wash.; sisters Lynda Bruskotter of Bonner and Brenda Millikan of Spokane, Wash.; six nieces and nephews; and numerous extended family members.
As a memoriam her family asks that friends think of Mrs. O'Donoghue during their next adventure or support their local animal shelter.

Hillary Clinton: Diplomacy in Kerry's blood
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a lengthy endorsement Friday of President Obama's nomination of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) to succeed her.
"I have been privileged to know John for many years and to call him a friend, colleague, and partner," she said in a statement. "He will bring decades of service to our country and deep experience in international affairs."
Clinton, noting that Kerry's father was a foreign service officer, said "diplomacy is in his blood."
"As a decorated veteran, he knows what it takes to defend our nation and our values. As a leader in the Senate, he understands how to build coalitions and craft compromises. As a statesman respected around the world, he will be able to sustain and extend America's global leadership."
She said she called him to congratulate him Friday. Here's Clinton's full, 626-word statement:
Today, I spoke to Senator John Kerry and congratulated him on his nomination to be the next Secretary of State. I also spoke with President Obama and told him that he has made an excellent choice. I hope Senator Kerry will be confirmed quickly.
I have been privileged to know John for many years and to call him a friend, colleague, and partner. He will bring decades of service to our country and deep experience in international affairs. The son of a career Foreign Service Officer, diplomacy is in his blood. As a decorated veteran, he knows what it takes to defend our nation and our values. As a leader in the Senate, he understands how to build coalitions and craft compromises. As a statesman respected around the world, he will be able to sustain and extend America's global leadership.
John Kerry has been tested – in war, in government, and in diplomacy. Time and again, he has proven his mettle.
I remember watching young Lieutenant Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee many years ago and thinking that I had just seen a man of uncommon courage and conscience. Years later, as First Lady, I admired John's integrity and leadership as he returned to Vietnam to uncover the truth about fellow American soldiers who never came home, and to help normalize relations. Then, as Senate colleagues, we worked together on behalf of wounded warriors, working families, and other causes close to both our hearts.
Over the past four years, now as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Kerry has been my trusted partner on major foreign policy challenges facing our nation. He helped us end the war in Iraq and advance a responsible transition in Afghanistan, co-authored key assistance legislation for Pakistan, won ratification of the New START Treaty with Russia, led the way on climate change, and helped us navigate a fast-changing Middle East.
President Obama and I have often asked Senator Kerry to undertake delicate diplomatic missions and to deliver difficult messages. He has forged strong relationships with leaders around the world. As I have learned, being able to talk candidly as someone who has won elections and also lost them is an enormous asset when engaging with emerging or fragile democracies.
Through it all, Senator Kerry has fought for our nation's diplomats and development experts – and for investing in their mission and America's global leadership. And now, he is working closely with me and my team to learn the lessons of the tragedy in Benghazi, further protect our people and posts, and implement every single one of the Accountability Review Board's recommendations.
We need a leader with John Kerry's experience and talent at the helm of the State Department and USAID in the years ahead. There is much more to do on all of these crucial challenges, from Afghanistan to nonproliferation to climate change, and many others. We also have to consolidate America's expanded engagement in the Asia-Pacific, continue championing the rights and opportunities of women, pursue a new approach to development centered on dignity and self-sufficiency, keep putting economics at the center of our foreign policy, and practice the kind of smart power that harnesses innovation and partnerships – with governments and with people – to solve problems and seize opportunities.
The men and women of the State Department and USAID represent the best traditions of a bold and generous nation. They serve and sacrifice every day, often in dangerous circumstances. It has been one of the great honors of my life to serve with such fine public servants over the past four years. I could not be prouder of all we have achieved together. They deserve the highest caliber leadership, and that is exactly what they'll get in John Kerry.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Adam Scott never had to take this much time walking from the clubhouse to the practice range at TPC Sawgrass.
He couldn't take more than a few steps without a player or a caddie stopping to congratulate him for his feel-good win at Augusta National. There were so many fans pressed against the fence to get his autograph that it nearly collapsed. Finally, he got into a cart to head to the back end of the practice range.
It's time for the Masters champion to get back to work, and that might prove tougher than the actual work at The Players Championship.
Scott has virtually disappeared since holing that 12-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole to become the first Australian to win the Masters. He was in New York for a couple of days and then headed to The Bahamas where he has a home.
He usually takes a few weeks off after a major to decompress. This time, he waited an extra week before picking up a club. It felt that good.
"I've had a really nice break since the Masters, which I had planned anyway," Scott said Wednesday. "But it was even better because I was floating around on the clouds the last three weeks. It's been an overwhelming time for me."
Once he finally put a club back in his hands, the swing felt as pure as that final round at Augusta. He was eager to compete again, and The Players Championship is enough to get any pro's attention.
It features the strongest and deepest field in golf all year, on a Stadium Course that had can be challenging, frustrating, punishing and rarely dull. Scott won The Players in 2004 after hitting 5-iron into the water on the 18th and making a 10-foot bogey putt to win by a shot.
"It's a nice week for me to come back to Sawgrass and The Players, because I've had such a great run here over the years," Scott said. "I'm excited about playing this week. I hopefully can take my head out of the clouds and come back down to earth and play some good golf."
That would be the only way to make it around this golf course.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, the best two players of their generation, each have one win at the home of the PGA Tour. The list of winners ranges from power players such as Greg Norman and Davis Love III to pea shooters in the mold of Fred Funk and Tim Clark.
NBC Sports analyst Johnny Miller said players have to "tippy-toe" their way around the golf course. Scott, meanwhile, is still floating.
There was never a moment where he woke up in the Bahamas and realized that the Sunday playoff in the rain was not a dream, that he indeed had won the Masters. The routine he kept each morning made that impossible.
"When I walk in the closet and I put the green jacket on every morning ... I do," he said as the room filled with laughter. "I've missed it the last couple days. It's the first couple days I haven't had it with me, so that's been a lot of fun just wearing it around the house."
That sums up Scott's extraordinary vacation. It was such a big deal in Australia to finally have a Masters champion that he was tempted to go home and join the celebration.
But he has bigger plans. The Masters was in April. This is May. The season is not even halfway over, and there are still three majors to be played. Scott certainly never had any intentions of stopping at one.
"It was an incredible response to winning," Scott said. "The prime minister of Australia called me. Like I said, I was overwhelmed. Also, I talked this one over with the people that are around me, and we're in the middle of the year. Yes, it's cause for celebration, but we have a plan in place. It's hopefully not going to stop with the Masters at the moment. I want to keep focused while I can and try to make this my biggest year yet.
"I think we can rustle up some celebration when I get home at the end of the year."

FF Celeste is a typeface for those designers who like the idea of a Bodoni or Walbaum, but look for a robust and readable text face which tempers the sobriety of the modern with friendlier old-face features. The serifs tend to the triangular and the italics harmonize well with the roman in tone and width. The letterforms are less rationalized and modular than the starkest modern faces, but are influenced by old-style letterforms, even with some vestige of a calligraphic influence to provide a more readable dynamic.
Designer Chris Burke classifies FF Celeste as a modern humanistic face. The stroke-weight contrast is less pronounced than in traditional models such as Walbaum, making FF Celeste more suitable for current digital typesetting and offset printing techniques, where high contrast is very accurately – perhaps too accurately – maintained.
The font family FF Celeste was initially comprised of only four members, Regular and Bold with an italic for each. As the Bold was not particularly heavy, really more of a semi bold, it was felt that the family could do with some heavier members. So FF Celeste Extra Bold and Black have been provided for those occasions in which greater emphasis, impact or differentiation is desired. The Extra Bold provides effective emphasis with the Regular weight, and the Black can be paired with the existing Bold. These combinations will be useful in, for example, designing dictionaries or reference books, in which different kinds of information need to be given different tiers of emphasis. The Bold weights will also be useful in headings. In 2007 a Book weight was added.
FF Celeste supports 164 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Greek in Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)

gpu temp is quickly rising after waking from sleep.
setting the fanspeed with aticonfig doesnt seem to do anything even though it says the fanspeed is at 100%.
so im guessing there is only one fan for the notebook and its not controled by the gpu
gotta check if this happens with the open source drivers.

A religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion, founded by Malaclypse the Younger (or Mal-2, commonly thought to be an alias of Greg Hill) and Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (probably Kerry Thornley). Discordians supposedly worship the goddess Eris (or Discordia), but the central theme of Discordianism is a combination of absurdity and philosophy.
Discordians tend to be fun-loving--if eccentric--folks, and great fun to have a few drinks with.

Well, you're the pope. YOU decide!
"Discordianism is but one of many, and several of some. It can also be described as five tons of flax."

The practice of not practicing anything unless it is discordianism. If that isn't it than it is something else unless it isn't in whic case it is not. To practice discordianism is to destroy it's existence unless you practice discordianism in which case you would not practice discordianism unless you were or you weren't.
Discordianism is everything. Unless it isn't.

What do you think of the
Assos earlyWinterGlove_S7
? Share a...
Good for 2 seasons
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are good for colder Utah days in the spring & fall. Sizes seemed a bit on the big or small side, but I settled for a L. Not the warmest when things get wet.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Assos' temperature range on these gloves is spot on accurate in my riding. They are a bit stiff (took forever to break them in and I'm still not satisfied) and the workmanship around the fingertips is pretty wonky (the stitching does not line up and the fingers look like trapezoids, which is just sloppy). The biggest issue I have with them, however, is the grip is incredibly slippery. They work fine if you are on the rubberized hoods, but if you are on the bars using any kind of slick bar bar tape (like Fizik), it's very difficult to feel secure in the grip. Forget it, if you have to do anything with downtube shifters. I've had much better experience with other gloves on the market and spent far, far less.
Great gloves if it's dry
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These gloves are very good from the mid 50s down to freezing in dry climates and upper 30s/low 40s if you're in a humid cold. Extremely warm for how light they are and as windproof as they claim. With a liner they can go even colder than advertised, but as soon as it rains they stop being warm. To be fair, their description does not mention any water resistance. I've put them through snowy winter rides in the Rockies, the Appalachians and now the cold rains of the southeast. They'll hold up to a good snow for an hour or so until it starts to soak in, but again they immediately lose their insulating properties. I also wish that it had a soft fabric over the back of the thumb for wiping snot on hard, cold rides. The current material will chew up your nose a bit. Overall a great set of gloves for what they are designed to do, but if I think I might get caught in a cold rain I'm reaching for different set of gloves.

When you sit down for dinner, some dogs will casually sit under the table just hoping for a table scrap to fall, or for his or her owner to give in and offer him a morsel.
While it's OK to occasionally give your dog human food, just make sure that it's a food that's OK for dogs to eat, as many foods that are safe for humans can be dangerous to dogs.
According to dog expert Cesar Millan, here are some human foods that are OK for dogs to eat:
- Peanut butter
- Cheese
- Cooked chicken
- Baby carrots
- Yogurt
- Salmon
- Pumpkin
- Eggs
- Green beans
- Apples (cut into slices)
- Cooked oatmeal

On Wednesday, January 27th there was a certain excitement in the air on Capitol Hill – not only because of the President's State of the Union address – but because Special Olympics athletes, Best Buddies participants, along with coaches, program leaders and family members from 43 states across the U.S. were in town to share their passion for the needs of those with intellectual disabilities.
From left to right: Jeremy Vest, Buddy, Best Buddies Maryland; Erica Wheeler, Athlete/Board Member, Special Olympics Maryland; Anthony K.Shriver, Founder & Chairman of Best Buddies; Tim Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics; Carl Lewis, 10-time Olympic Gold medalist; Lindsay Mibach, Athlete, Special Olympics Northern California; Joe Jonas, Platinum album selling Jonas Brothers; Christopher McKelvy, Best Buddies Partner, Best Buddies International; Nancy Pelosi, 60th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; David Gauthier, Best Buddies Jobs Participant
The delegations came from far and wide to urge Members of Congress to pass The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act, which will continue a national commitment by the U.S. Congress made with passage of the 2004 Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act.
While Capitol Hill Day is in its sixth year, this year's Hill Day had a special sense of urgency as the legacy of Special Olympics' founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver was honored on the Hill. This new legislation continues her legacy by authorizing funds for specific programs supporting persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in health, education and global program initiatives. Mrs. Shriver, who passed away in August 2009, founded Special Olympics in 1968 and was a longtime supporter and board member of Best Buddies, which was founded in 1989.
Our athletes and families kept busy on Wednesday. In a single day more than 275 meetings were held on the Hill – over half of which were directly with Members of Congress!
Members of Congress were moved by their meetings with Special Olympics and Best Buddies delegations. Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, presented his official Chairman's gavel to Best Buddies participant Emilio Mark from Maui High School in Hawaii. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) gave Special Olympics Utah athlete Donna Gunn a ticket to the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama later that evening.
Delegations met with some of the most influential figures on the Hill. Special Olympics and Best Buddies had a morning meeting with Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who made remarks including: "…Most important is what we can do in a matter of public policy, and that is our responsibility. So we look forward to passing The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act of 2010." Also, Vice President Joe Biden met at his residence with a delegation of Special Olympics athletes and Best Buddies from Delaware, Nevada, and Texas.
In addition to notable political figures, also showing their support in attendance were Hollywood Records recording artist Joe Jonas of the Grammy nominated, platinum album selling Jonas Brothers,10-time Olympic Gold medalist Carl Lewis, as well as Miss Maryland USA Simone Feldman, and Miss Maryland Teen USA Kamie Crawford.
Joe Jonas and Carl Lewis even took time out of their busy schedules before the days' meetings on the Hill started by participating in a morning run on the National Mall with Special Olympics athletes, Best Buddies participants, Tim Shriver and Anthony Shriver as well as Representative Tom Perriello (D-VA). The early morning run was an invigorating way to get delegations excited for the day ahead.
Another exciting feature of this year's Capitol Hill Day was the integration of social media. Athletes, families and staff members used their Twitter and Facebook accounts to update the public on what was happening during their meetings on the Hill. Members of Congress even got in on the tweeting and expressed their excitement over meeting with Special Olympics athletes. When Joe Jonas tweeted about being on the Hill to support Special Olympics, more than 500 of his fans responded by following Special Olympics on Twitter. Photos from throughout the day were then shared on the Special Olympics Facebook Fan Page allowing the athletes and buddies to relive the day and those who weren't able to be there to get a feel for the the experience.
The day culminated in a reception in honor of Mrs. Shriver, which was attended by members of Congress including: Representative Roy Blunt (R-MO), Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), Representative Norman Dicks (D-WA). Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), ), Representative Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD), Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Senator Paul G. Kirk (D-MA) Representative Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). White House Disability Policy Advisor Kareem Dale also attended.
Overall, Capitol Hill Day was a tremendous success for the movement. Most notably, in conjunction with our efforts on Capitol Hill, Special Olympics Chairman and CEO, Tim Shriver, and Best Buddies Founder and Chairman, Anthony Shriver, have announced an official annual day in honor of their mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, every fourth Saturday in September with the first this September 25, 2010. Mrs. Shriver was a trail blazing leader who broke down barriers to improve the lives of millions of persons with intellectual disabilities, their families and communities around the world for over five decades.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day honors the vision, commitment and achievements of Mrs. Shriver and the tradition of making a difference that began in her backyard. The day's events will honor her inspiration, impact and indomitable spirit and challenge generations to "play on" by becoming agents of acceptance and action in their communities.
As delegations wrapped up their time in Washington D.C. it was clear to see what an integrated, efficient team-building activity Hill Day was for the movement. For the first time we expanded to include our partners at Best Buddies, and on the heels of Mrs. Shriver's legacy, together we were able to leave a re-energized mood on Capitol Hill for support and awareness of those with intellectual disabilities.
