Hi Mr_Alien_Overlord,
Right now there are no Blender-based tests in the Phoronix Test Suite for a simple reason actually. At least last time I checked, in order to use the benchmark mode of Blender you must launch Blender and then hit some key or some menu item, but at least as of the last time I checked, there was no argument like blender -benchmark some-file.blend where it would then run the benchmark and print the result to the standard output and then exit.
If you can find such an option or get the Blender developers to implement such an option, I would be more than happy to write the test profile and get the rest of it setup.

Border management
Fighting terrorism and transnational crime through effective border management.
Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database
INTERPOL's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database enables INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and other authorized law enforcement entities (such as immigration and border control officers) to ascertain the validity of a travel document in seconds.
The SLTD database was created in 2002, following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the US, to help member countries secure their borders and protect their citizens from terrorists and other dangerous criminals using fraudulent travel documents.
Starting with a few thousand records from just 10 countries, the SLTD database has grown exponentially: as of March 2014, it contains information on more than 40 million travel documents (passports, identity documents, visas) reported lost or stolen by 167 countries.
Law enforcement officials at INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and other locations with access to INTERPOL's databases through the I-24/7 secure global police communication system – such as airports and border crossings – can query the passports of individuals travelling internationally against the SLTD, and immediately determine if the document has been reported as lost or stolen so they can take the necessary actions.
The database was searched by member countries more than 800 million times in 2013, resulting in some 67,000 positive responses, or 'hits'.
Details of stolen and lost passports are submitted directly to the STLD database by INTERPOL NCBs and law enforcement agencies via INTERPOL's I-24/7 system. Only the country which issued a document can add it to the database.
INTERPOL is therefore not automatically notified of all passport thefts occurring worldwide, and the SLTD database is not connected to national lists of stolen or lost passports. As such, information on national statistics must be requested directly from the country in question.
In order to increase the use of the SLTD database worldwide, INTERPOL encourages each member country to extend access to the I-24/7 network – and through it access to its criminal databases including the STLD – to major airports, border crossings and other strategic locations. This requires the installation of technical equipment or specialized software.
Despite the potential availability of the STLD database, not all countries systematically search the database to determine whether an individual is using a fraudulent passport.
To help identify and stop criminals from using lost or stolen travel documents long before they get to the airport or the border, INTERPOL has developed I-Checkit . The initiative will allow private sector partners in the travel, hotel and banking industries to screen customers' documents against the SLTD database when they book a plane ticket, check into a hotel or open a bank account. A positive 'hit' will be relayed to law enforcement, to take any necessary actions.

Morrow returns to the hill facing Phelps, Yanks
Blue Jays righty has been scratched twice due to back, neck soreness
With it being nearly two weeks since he last took the hill, Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow is ready to make his eighth start of the season on Saturday against the Yankees in the Bronx.
Scratched twice because of soreness in his upper back and neck, Morrow and the team now feel he is healthy enough to make the start.
"We'll be cautious, it has been a little while since he has thrown, but if it's easy for him, we'll just let him run with it," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "It has been a while since he has been out there."
On a hot streak as of late, Toronto has won four of its last five games and is at the beginning of a 10-game stretch in which it not only plays the Yankees, but the Orioles and Rays. The Blue Jays lost, 5-0, to New York on Friday.
"You have to play well in your division, and to this point, we really haven't done that, especially against this team, the Yanks," Gibbons said. "We have a little stretch here against those three teams [against whom] we have to play well. You can't fall too far back."
Yankees right-hander David Phelps will make his fourth start of the season after bouncing from the bullpen to the rotation earlier this month.
Phelps was on the wrong end of a 1-0 loss to the Indians on Monday, allowing just one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings of work.
"Early on, I didn't really have fastball command at all, and it showed," Phelps said after the game. "It was a battle out there. ... They made me work."
In two career starts against the Blue Jays, Phelps has allowed five earned runs on eight hits in 13 innings pitched for two no-decisions and a 3.46 ERA.
Blue Jays: Reyes progressing in rehab
Jose Reyes rejoined the Blue Jays in New York on Friday as he continues to rehab a severe right ankle sprain.
The shortstop has been out of action since spraining the ankle while stealing second base on April 12 in Kansas City. He's now had a walking boot removed and has slowly begun regaining strength in the area.
Reyes went onto the field prior to Friday night's game at Yankee Stadium and took part in stretching while also playing catch. He's already resumed hitting off a tee and expects to start jogging by the end of next week.
"It's frustrating because I want to be on the field helping my ballclub win a lot of ballgames," said Reyes, who will accompany the team back to Toronto on Sunday. "Injuries happen, that's part of the game. I've been working the last five weeks very hard to come back as soon as possible."
Yankees: Pettitte lands on DL
New York placed left-hander Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list before Friday's game against the Blue Jays with a strained left trapezius muscle, recalling left-hander Vidal Nuno to replace Pettitte in the rotation.
Pettitte, 40, left his start against the Mariners on Thursday because of the strained muscle, which is just below the neck.
When Nuno will start is still undecided. He was due to pitch Saturday with the Yankees' Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliate.
General manager Brian Cashman said he expects Pettitte to resume his season immediately after his 15-day assignment ends.
Worth noting
• The Blue Jays have scored 33 runs on 45 hits in their last four games and have outscored the opposition 11-2 in the first inning of their last three games.
• The Yankees have won eight straight home games against the Blue Jays and 19 of their last 22.

Unmarried at your age!
I'm sure this topic has been covered in the past but I don't check out the forums very often so I'm going to bring it up again. For the last 10 years I've heard countless comments from people I work with and even some people from Church about my single status. They range from astonishment to suspicion. The most common thing people say to me is "your too picky!". The "picky" part is that I'm looking for a man who is a practicing Catholic who accepts all the the teachings of the Catholic Church. One guy at work even implied he thought I was gay! My older single sisters have experienced similar treatment. I've noticed that if your single but have been married than opinions are less harsh; they seem to get a "pass". This week I walked past a guy I work with as he was talking to a young gal about "fixing" her up. He stopped and said that I was single too. As usual she assumed I was divorced and looked shocked when I said I was never married. He jumped in with the "she's too picky" comment.
I know I shouldn't care what others think about me but I'm only human and really am starting to feel like others perceive me as some kind of social reject. Do guys get this kind of attitude too?

Since 1997, I have consistently been intrigued by the world of web. I began creating my first websites at home and scouring the internet for advice and information. After graduating from high school in 2002 I immediately decided to take to the workforce and began my career. I have worked in very diverse environments all of which related to web design, UI design / javascript, and server-side web languages such as PHP, ColdFusion, vbscript, .NET, Node.js, and Ruby.
My objective is to persistently improve my knowledge in new and existing web technologies granting me the ability to engineer highly scalable, robust, innovative, collaborative, and socially/self-engaging SaaS applications for niche industries across the world.

How To Buy Socks
There is no other part of the anatomy so crucial to athletic performance than the human foot. As the base of our structural support system and home to thousands of nerve endings and sweat glands, our feet play an important role in our body's biomechanical efficiency and thermal regulation. It is estimated that 3-out-of-4 Americans experience chronic foot pain. Even more experience discomfort from blisters or cold feet.
If you've had consistent problems or other discomforts in your feet, you'll need to answer a few questions before you buy your next pair of socks.
Today many manufacturers use special moisture-wicking fibers as well as unique construction techniques and patented anatomical designs to create technical performance socks based on sports-specific use. Before you shop, it pays to have an overview of the different materials:

The Lollaris my fave, but I will use my siggy picks on occasion.
The Lollaris my fave, but I will use my siggy picks on occasion.
Over the years, the trend has been from large/thin to small/thick. So the Jazz III shape is now my fave.
I tried different materials and kind of like to switch between the Jazz Tortex 1.14mm (warm, fat, silky, mid-bass) and the Stubby 3mm (warm, fat, but more crispy, trebly).
Next, I would like to try the Ultex thing and some carbon fiber stuff, and ear are they sound and feel.
For mellow rhythms, I've recently tried the dunlop 204s. Very different feel.
Picks are a cheap way to mess with your tone a bit and look for something different.
Anybody try silver picks? Made by a Navajo artist....fantastic...thin....can be flexible or hard....very fast picks...interesting tone....much more twangy...only issue is the silver dust you get on your fingers.

I used to use the Dunlop Tortex picks when I was younger because they didn't slip out of my hand easily. I used the green .88mm ones. However, a couple years ago I switched to Dunlop's new Ultex line. I wanted a pick that didn't wear down as easily, and these things last forever. I'm using the 1.0mm ones. They sound better, they wear better and they're just as easy to hold.
For acoustic I have a Red Bear Trading Company pick. It's made out of a cultured milk protein that is extremely similar to tortoise shell. Sounds fantastic and lasts a very long time. Mine is "thin" (1.0mm) with the "Classic II" shape. I mostly save it for recording. If I'm just playing around, I use the Ultex, which is very similar but way less expensive.
Back in the '80s I had a Min'd pick made of polished quartz. It was interesting and if used right, yielded an almost sitar-like attack. A stainless steel tri-tipped pick is still in my bag but it never justified the potential for damaging pick scrapes on the guitar. Again, interesting attack - bright - but not a keeper. I buy inexpensive Planet Waves celluloid 1.0mm in 100 pcs. bags. The tips are shaved down pretty quickly and throw one away per set.
OK, that's cool!

I like the standard purple Dunlop Tortex, 1.14mm for electric playing. For my very occasional acoustic playing, I like something a little softer...like the green Tortex .88mm.
I did get a variety of V-Picks to try them out, but I wasn't fond of either the attack sound or feel and went back to the Dunlops.
I don't really collect guitar picks, but I've acquired some cool ones over the years. I have given away most of the collectable picks, but here are some that I still have. Anyone else have any cool or novelty picks hanging around?
I briefly considered having some personalized ones made (When I was in a band) but I like my Dunlop's too much.
Have picked up some cool ones over the years. Few band / known guitarist ones. Lots of graphic ones given away in guitar mags, etc and Unususal materials.
Here's a couple of cool ones Bernie Marsden gave me. To thin to use though.

Sadly, I still don't play well enough to have a pick preference beyond "medium." Thin picks are just to whimpy and thicker ones are too aggressive for the tentative way I play at the moment. Perhaps as I practice more, I may find the nuances the rest of you have discovered, but really, I'm just too busy trying not to screw up.
So - for the short term - almost any medium pick will do.
There is one cool thing I picked up though -
LINK: pickpunch
I recycle credit cards and that annoying plastic that things like USB thumb drives come packed in, etc. You can pick your thickness and make lots. Lately I have been just gathering plastic gift cards from various stores and using them - the cards have no value unless they are purchased and 'loaded', so you can usually just ask and get several for free.
Center the Pickpunch over part of the image you like and, presto - custom graphic pick.

May sound cheap, but I bought this thing, forgot what its called, that looks like a stapler. I take old credit cards and anything that might make a good pick slip it in, punch it and out comes a pick. They advertise in Premium Guitar Magazine, usually in the back small ads. The trick is to smooth out the edges with a sanding block, but I have to say I've made some unique picks (and thus unique sounds) that you can't buy anywhere else. Just some food for thought....I did it because I'm always losing my picks and figured, what the hell.

Michigan Constitutional Convention, Proposal 1 (2010)
Michigan Constitution |
Preamble |
Articles |
I • II • III • IV • V • VI • VII • VIII • IX • X • XI • XII • Schedule |
Section 3 of Article XII of the Michigan Constitution mandates that Michigan's voters be asked every sixteen years whether they want a constitutional convention. The last time the question was asked was in 1994, when voters rejected Proposal A by 28 percent to 72 percent.[1] Voters similarly rejected the idea of calling a convention by 76.7% in 1978.
The current version of the Michigan Constitution was adopted in 1963. Since then, voters have approved 31 amendments.[2][3]

Text of measure
According to the Michigan Secretary of State's office, the ballot text reads as follows:[4]
Shall a convention of elected delegates be convened in 2011 to draft a general revision of the State Constitution for presentation to the state's voters for their approval or rejection?
Supporters of Proposal 1, led by the Yes on Proposal 1 campaign committee, argue that it is time to modernize the Michigan Constitution and a constitutional convention would offer the opportunity to do so. They also highlight the fact that constitutional conventions are not unusual in Michigan; the state has had six since statehood with one on average every 33 years.
Senator Tom George introduced legislation that would handle the administrative and procedural elements of a constitutional convention, including the pay of delegates -- $1 a month, should Proposal 1 pass.[5] As co-chairman of Yes on Proposal 1, George has been one of the leading voices in support of a constitutional convention. "Michigan's 21st century challenges require 21st century solutions. A constitutional convention allows us to wipe the slate clean and start anew," said George.[6]
Governor Jennifer Granholm supports a constitutional convention. Granholm argues that the state's current government is based on a manufacturing-based economic model, a model that she says no longer exists. The constitutional convention, she said, would provide for an opportunity to modernize the Michigan Constitution.[7] According to her office, Granholm "believes the state of Michigan is dramatically different than it was in 1961, and we need a foundation document that reflects the 21st century. Having a constitutional convention would help set the stage for a streamlined government that moves Michigan forward in a comprehensive way."[8]
A group dominated by registered lobbyists, unions and trade associations has formed Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution to oppose Proposal 1.[9] Opponents of the automatic ballot referral argue that a "yes" vote would allow for special interests to play too large of a role in re-writing the state constitution.[7]
Joseph G. Lehman, president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, argues that a constitutional convention won't fix Michigan's problems, as argued by proponents. "Michigan has serious problems, but they should be fixed without a constitutional convention. The problem with Michigan government isn't so much what's under the hood, it's what we're letting the driver get away with. If your teenage driver is irresponsible, no mechanic can change that. Instead, you need better control and accountability of the driver," said Lehman.[10]
Rich Studley, chief executive officer of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, argues that the state's deficit and the status of the economy is reason enough to reject the proposed measure. According to Studley, the chamber of commerce is currently working with business, labor and service groups to oppose the proposed constitutional convention.[11]
Opponents said that although there is no doubt that the government needs structural changes, such changes can be made through executive order or legislation on a case-by-case basis. Andy Johnston, director of legislative affairs at the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, said that the uncertainty of a constitutional convention could potentially scare away businesses. "It certainly isn't what businesses like, especially those looking to make an investment in Michigan," said Johnston.[11]
Media editorial positions
- The Detroit Free Press supports Proposal 1. In an editorial, the board wrote, "Opponents of a convention sometimes suggest that the Constitution can be fixed gradually, through the amendment process. But lawmakers will never propose any of the fixes themselves, and moneyed interest groups will not propose and fund campaigns for most of the needed changes because they're happy with the current political landscape. If you can envision a different Legislature -- and who in Michigan can't these days -- you'll want to vote in favor of a constitutional convention."[12]
- The Jackson Citizen Patriot endorsed a constitutional convention, saying, "This process can lead to a better, more nimble governmental structure to help job creation. It could make changes that consider the huge technological advances that have occurred since 1963. Before the process ends, companies looking to move to Michigan should be impressed by this state's willingness to reinvent itself. A constitutional convention can start to tackle people's frustrations with Michigan government at all levels. The public should support much-needed reform by voting yes on Proposal 1."[13]
- The Midland Daily News supports Proposal 1. An endorsement in August said, "The question is, after more than 45 years, is it time for another review of Michigan's constitution. The answer is an unequivocal yes."[14]
- The Oakland Press supports the proposed constitutional convention. In an editorial, the board wrote,"A new constitution would give us a chance to fix some of the lingering problems in Lansing...Also, a constitutional convention could examine such innovative changes as a part-time legislature and revamping our tax structure to help attract business...Voters need to remember that, yes, it will cost the state some money to have a Constitutional Convention but the potential for successful change is priceless."[15]
- The Blade endorsed Proposal 1, saying, "Michigan voters should try to fix what's clearly broken. The Blade urges a YES vote on Proposal 1, for a state constitutional convention."[16]
- The Saginaw Valley Journal supports Proposal 1. "The economy is the worst in the country. Young people and families are leaving at unprecedented levels. Schools are broke. Police and firefighters are being laid off. Government at all levels is dysfunctional. Proposal 1 on the Nov. 2 general election ballot is the state's one chance — perhaps its last chance — to, in the words of Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder, reinvent herself...Without a constitutional convention, Michigan's challenges will only worsen. Thus we endorse Proposal 1 and encourage our readers to vote YES," said the editorial board.[17]
- The Bay City Times said, "It's a chance to debate weaknesses in our constitution and to answer perennial questions such as the value and the harm of our term limits amendment for state lawmakers. In the end, it's the people's choice in some future ballot measure whether to accept the proposed changes, or to reject them. When so much is wrong in Michigan, our state has an opportunity to consider righting our listing ship of state government. Or, simply tweak what is in the constitution and call it good for another 16 years. On Nov. 2, a Constitutional Convention has our vote."[18]
- The Holland Sentinel is opposed to Proposal 1. In an editorial, the board said, "...in our view Michigan's problems don't stem from poorly written rules but from the irresponsibility of too many of the officials we elect to serve in Lansing. We need better players more than new rules, and it's up to voters to do that. Sure, we'd like to see changes to the state constitution, but they can be added one at a time through the amendment process...A new constitution won't cure what ails Michigan government — it may even harm the patient. We urge voters to say 'no' to Proposal 1."[19]
- The Detroit News opposes the proposed measure. In an editorial, the board said, "Well-focused constitutional amendments are a better way to update the Constitution or deal with any problems that may arise than creating a whole new document. This is an era in which various interest groups are focused on single issues, often to the detriment of the greater good. Many would want their issues enshrined in a new constitution, reducing the ability of state lawmakers to deal with problems as they occur. This is a risk the state does not need now. Vote No on Proposal 1.[20]
- The Daily Telegram is opposed to Proposal 1. "Michigan already has the means to make major changes. There is no reason to vaguely assume that an expensive convention would be any better at solving issues and avoiding special interests," said the editorial board.[21]
- See also: Polls, 2010 ballot measures
- An August 9-10, 2010 poll, conducted by Glengariff Group and sponsored by Detroit News-WDIV, revealed that of 600 polled Michigan voters 46% supported the proposed constitutional convention, while 32% were opposed and 26% were undecided. The poll was conducted via telephone and is reported to have a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.[22][23][24]
- An August 21-23, 2010 poll, conducted by EPIC-MRA, revealed that 43% of polled voters would vote "no" on Proposal 1, while 35% said they would vote "yes" and 24% remained undecided. A total of 600 registered voters were polled. According to reports, the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4%.[25]

Constitutional conventions on the ballot in 2010 |
Constitutional convention ballot propositions are a form of automatic ballot referral in some states whose constitutions state that every so often, a statewide ballot proposition must be placed on the general election ballot asking the voters of the state if they wish to have a constitutional convention. In Michigan, the measure appears on the ballot at 16-year intervals.

Special Olympics Games to be showcased at UEFA EURO 2012 under the banner of RESPECT. Games to promote more opportunities in football for people with intellectual disabilities
Some of the Polish Special Olympics players taking part in showcase match on June 21st
The power of football to transform lives for people with intellectual disabilities will be witnessed at UEFA EURO 2012 when Special Olympics footballers will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their sport skills by competing in demonstration football matches before UEFA EURO 2012 quarter final games as part of UEFA's RESPECT Campaign and under the banner of RESPECT Inclusion.Two teams of players from Special Olympics Poland will compete.Speaking about the importance of the RESPECT campaign, UEFA President Michel Platini said: "As the governing body of European football, UEFA has the responsibility to protect the game and its supporters. RESPECT at EURO highlights UEFA's continuous commitment to combat any form of discrimination, increase access for fans with disabilities, promote health through physical activity and encourage intercultural dialogue between fans and the host cities".UEFA is working with CAFE (Centre for Access to Football in Europe) which manages three separate RESPECT Inclusion initiatives. The "Showcase Games" project is run by Special Olympics Poland and the National Sports Committee for Disabled People in Ukraine who are preparing the footballers with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, visual impairments and hearing impairments to compete in the demonstration matches taking place before each UEFA 2012 quarter-final game.
Watch UEFA Ambassador messages about Special Olympics Showcase Matches:
Mary Davis, Regional President of Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia has welcomed the platform for Special Olympics at UEFA EURO 2012 adding: "Here is the opportunity for millions across Europe to understand, appreciate and enjoy the skills, determination and courage of our athletes with intellectual disabilities and to witness firsthand how the joy of football can transform lives. We are really excited about the opportunity and are confident it will help drive more athletes, volunteers and coaches to the Special Olympics movement."Other RESPECT Inclusion initiatives included access information to be provided to disabled fans and visitors by the means of a tailor-made guide. Funds for future inclusion initiatives will be raised through the UEFA EURO 2012 Tournament charity project. This project encourages football supporters and other benefactors to make a financial contribution for upcoming projects with UEFA paving the way by committing to donate €3,000 for each goal scored during the Tournament.UEFA's ongoing RESPECT campaign tackles some of Europe's key social issues before, during and after UEFA EURO 2012 through various initiatives grouped under the four headings of RESPECT Diversity, RESPECT Fan Culture, RESPECT Your Health and RESPECT Inclusion. UEFA has made a financial contribution to the campaign totalling €3 million.

I am a board-certified radiation oncologist who specializes in thoracic malignancies, including lung cancers, pleural mesotheliomas, and thymomas. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of highly skilled thoracic surgeons and medical oncologists to determine the best treatment options for my patients. Together with our radiologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists, I utilize modern radiation techniques including intensity-modulated (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to target thoracic malignancies while minimizing radiation dose to normal tissues.
My clinical research interests focus on optimizing the current technologies of IMRT and IGRT for the treatment of lung tumors. In addition, I am exploring new strategies for treating small cell lung cancers with radiation therapy. My translational research focuses on investigating the underlying biology and interaction of newer targeted agents with radiation therapy.

We use this bench to do stomach crunches as well as light weight lifting. Initial set up was very easy. This product is very easy to make flat for storage. Total time 30 seconds. Bench is also very durable and long. I'm 6' 1" and it's long enough for me. Could easily hold me plus weights which equals about 300 lbs.
Pretty lightweight. Can't use as leg bars don't fit comfortable to use. No matter which setting I put the ankle and knee pads....just couldn't get my legs to even bend to the settings. Large legs not enough room over padding.
I use it daily, I do 50 sit ups and I'm 55 years old
I received quickly, however the padding on the bench is so thin it hurts to use. Therefore item will be returned.
This bench should be off the market, the design is all wrong for a normal person to use. Some one can git heart, or some sort of knee problem. I do not think there was a safe testing done on this bench before putting it on the market. I hope to get my money back.
I ordered this item as a christmas gift for my husband. He is 6'4" and fit on it well. We realised right away that the bench was NOT convenient to set up or collapse. It took him 15 minutes to set it up alone. (granted we only tried once) It also didn't look very sturdy or durable. I'd rather save up for one that is more expensive than end up purchasing another bench for him 6 months from now. The material was thinner than what my own purse is made of and seemed loose. It also wobbled a lot while he was trying it out.

Top Definition
A technique used by pissed-off chickens to get back at farmers for feeding them the bread equivilent of soot and mucus and then killing them. It involves bending over just when a farmer is leaning close, and then firing out an egg like a bazooka at around 65-70 mph into his face. Those who get egg shell in his eye get a standing ovation and double their daily ration of corn.
"Ah shit. I just got chicken bombed. Oh god I think I'm blind!"

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) - Novelist Stephen King has told creative writing students at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell that his goal is to write stories that sizzle with emotion.
The horror-master from Maine is the author of books such as "The Stand," ''The Shining" and "The Green Mile."
King gave a special class for creative writing majors at the university Friday. Later, King and fellow bestselling author Andre Dubus III shared the stage for a conversation about their craft.
King told the crowd of about 125 students that he's a "confrontational writer." He says he wants to "get within kissing distance, hugging distance, choking distance, punching distance. Call it whatever you want. But I want your attention."
He has two new books coming out in 2013, including a sequel to "The Shining" called "Doctor Sleep."

- Up to 50% more absorbent*
- Puppy attractant
- 5 layer protection for ultimate protection
- Made exclusively for PetSmart
Our Training Pads have a built-in odor control specifically designed to neutralize tough urine odors. Made with advanced technology that converts liquid into gel and locks in moisture. A puppy attractant accelerates housetraining time by encouraging instinctive marking behavior for the quickest results. This carefully blended attractant uses a mixture of synthetic marking pheromones and attractant scents that encourage puppies to eliminate on the pad.
Training Pads are a convenient and easy way to train your puppy. They help simplify the house training process. They feature plastic backing and sealed edges to protect your floors. Training Pads are ideal for indoor dogs, puppies or sick dogs that can't be walked during the day. Also great if you have to leave your dog alone for long periods of time.
Usage Tips:
Housebreaking your new puppy can seem like a chore. Training pads make a tough job easier with a carefully blended attractant to encourage your puppy to eliminate on the pad and not your carpets. For the first few weeks, when you cannot watch your puppy, confine him to an area with easy to clean floors such as tile, lament or wood. Place the pad on the floor as far away from his food/water and sleeping area as possible. He will quickly learn to pee on the pad, thanks to the special attractant. If your puppy is still having accidents, watch him closely and place him on the pad as soon as he starts to potty. Timing is crucial. If you miss, you must wait for your next opportunity because you cannot teach him to go on the pad after the fact. With a little time and a lot of patience, your puppy will be using the pads in no time!
* Up to 50% more absorbent than the leading economy brand.
Made in China.

Small correction: that wasn't a go/no-go meeting. It was the FESCo meeting. The go/no-go would have been tomorrow, but this decision pre-empts it.
One of the ideas of discussing the schedule in the FESCo meeting was that it looked silly to keep slipping a week at a time in go/no-go meetings, so it would be more sensible to plan out a schedule more comprehensively via FESCo.

text: I really wish people would get the nomenclature right. Amish may be considered Pennsylvania Dutch, but most Pennsylvania Dutch are not Amish. Immigrants, who were really refugees from the French aggression of Louis XIV are the Pennsylvania Dutch. These German speaking Rhinelander Germans who were mostly protestants and were burned out by retreating French armies at the end of the 1600s and into the 1700s. Queen Ann of England allowed them to immigrate to Britain and William Penn convinced many, including my ancestors to move to Pennsylvania. The name PA Dutch was a mispronunciation of Deutch or German. Get it right people.

19th Century - Origin:
This marvelous pitcher by T.G. Hawkes & Co. features the intricate "Panel" pattern and exemplifies the tremendous level of craftsmanship for which Hawkes was known. Founded in 1880 by Thomas G. Hawkes, the Hawkes Company was making glass for the White House by 1886. In 1889, two of their cut glass patterns won the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition. This coveted prize not only brought prestige to Hawkes, but for the first time, American glass gained a firm place on the international scene. By the 20th century, American cut glass was world renowned, recognized for its superiority and advanced glass-making methods, with Hawkes's Cut Glass Company providing some of the finest and most inspired pieces of any other maker. Demand from affluent Americans for beautiful hand-cut glass products spurred intense competition and creativity within the industry. During the 82 years that T.G. Hawkes & Co. was in operation, they produced some 350 patterns and special designs.
