Edmonds siblings set to sing at inauguration

The Lee University Choir, shown here at a recent performance, will sing at President Barack Obama's second inauguration ceremony Jan. 21. Siblings Heidi and Jeremy Bennett, Lee University students from Edmonds, will sing with the group in Washington, D.C.

The Edmonds siblings came home from Tennessee's Lee University with homework. They practiced "This Land is Your Land," "God Bless America," "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and other songs that will soon put them in the national spotlight.
Heidi Bennett, 21, and her 19-year-old brother are part of the Lee University Festival Choir. Created from seven smaller ensembles, the choir will perform just before President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony Jan. 21.
Before returning Thursday to their campus in Cleveland, Tenn., they stopped by The Herald with their father, Rusty Bennett. They have known since before the election that the Lee choir would make the inauguration trip to Washington, D.C.
On Nov. 1, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander made an appearance and a surprise announcement at Lee University.
"We do not yet know who will be inaugurated president in January, but we do know who will be singing that day -- the Lee University choir," the Tennessee Republican told students that day. Alexander is on the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
"We were excited just to sing for the senator," Heidi Bennett said Wednesday. Several weeks after the announcement, she and Jeremy learned they had both made the cut for the festival choir.
It meant practicing over vacation and long rehearsals now that they're back at school. They'll have a huge audience. The Associated Press reported Thursday that District of Columbia officials expect crowds of 600,000 to 800,000 people on the National Mall for Inauguration Day, which is also the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Kendra Gray, secretary for Lee University's director of public information, said Thursday there are 200 students in the festival choir. Choir members will board five buses at 8 a.m. Jan. 18, a Friday, and arrive about 12 hours later, she said. They'll stay in Silver Springs, Md., and have the Saturday before the inauguration free for sightseeing. That Sunday, they'll rehearse.
Professor William Green, the choir director and dean of the university's school of music, told The Chattanooga Times Free Press that the choir has prepared a half-hour of music, but he expects they will only perform 15 to 20 minutes.
Green said a repertoire of about nine songs was selected, evoking spirituality, patriotism and regional flavor. The inauguration theme, announced by congressional organizers in November, is "Faith in America's Future."
Among songs approved by organizers, Green said, are Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo," which Glenn Miller's orchestra made into a big-band standard.
The Edmonds students have also been practicing "A Song of Peace," "Saints Bound for Heaven," "How Can I Keep from Singing?" and "All that Hath Life and Breath Praise Ye the Lord."
The arrangements are "definitely college level," said Jeremy Bennett, whose voice is a first bass. At home, he practiced using Apple's GarageBand on his Mac computer. "Heidi sits at the piano," Rusty Bennett said. She is a second soprano.
Jeremy Bennett lives in Medlin Hall, where he said evangelist Billy Graham lived when what is now Lee University was Bob Jones College. The liberal arts school, with about 4,500 students, has historically been affiliated with the Church of God.
The Bennetts, who attended Cedar Park Christian School before college, are following in the footsteps of their pastor at Westgate Chapel in Edmonds. Pastor Alec Rowlands, they said, attended Lee University. "He was in the Lee singers," Heidi Bennett said.
Both siblings have traveled with choirs, including to New Orleans to help after Hurricane Katrina. The inauguration is a performance opportunity like no other. Years from now, they may be telling grandchildren about their once-in-a-lifetime day in Washington, D.C.
"We're just really excited to represent our state and our university," Heidi Bennett said.

If you like dirty english and want a modern masculine scent, check out Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford.
hey guys so im at it again for the perfect man frag. Im a 24 yr old male looking for a frag that smells really masculine and interesting but also something women my age would like. Great longevity and moderate/heavy silage is also good!
i dont really enjoy fruity citrus/ and i HATE powdery or flowery stuff.
price point: under 100
Examples of colognes i find masculine smelling polo green, drakkar noir, rive gauche,aramis, dirty english
examples i find to smell too feminine: versace dreamer,versace light blue, le male, ck obsession
thanks for the help guys i know im insanely picky lol
If you like dirty english and want a modern masculine scent, check out Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford.
Santos & Pasha
Azzaro PH
Fahrenheit Absolute
I don't have much experience with women your age. Still, you could check Yatagan (green vegetables turning into woods), or, in niche perfumery (but they should cost $85), ELdO Rien (bitter, animalic leather) or Tom of Finland (saffrony leather). And a classic of the macho-man genre, Chanel Antaeus.
Paul Smith Man
Encre Noire
Possibly Dior homme or Dior homme Intense -- people say there is a feminine lipstick note, but I don't get it in either.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Carbone de Balmain
Terre d'Hermes Parfum, possibly CK Eternity (the initial release, not its flankers).
Get a vetiver! Here are some worth checking out
Tom For Grey Vetiver
Comme Des Garcons Vettiveru
Comme Des Garcons 2 Man
...alternatively, Aramis Tuscany Per Uomo.
If you have some patience, you may also score a bottle of Rochas Macassar on the e-bay for reasonably cheap...

+1 Fahrenheit
+1 Encre Noire
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
You mentioned Polo green - how about Polo Modern Reserve?
That aside, I second Grey Vetiver.
Apart from Grey Vetiver (which I rate very highly), you might want to try DSquared Rocky Mountain Wood, Byblos in Black and Quorum Silver. These are all frags that are masculine without being in the least retro (unlike, say, Polo Green...)
I'm a big fan of Tom Ford for Men (I've heard that Tom Ford for Men Extreme is better, but I haven't had the chance to try it yet...it's also above your budget line). Granted, I haven't tried many of the other ones listed here, but when I put TFFM on, I just FEEL like I exude "man." Now...I'm 34...and I feel that TFFM smells like a classy guy a TAD older than me (35-40). Take that for what you will...just how I see it.

Versace Man
Norne by Slumberhouse - Upon application, one is treated to a stand of black hemlocks. The scent of pine needles, pine sap and pine bark creates a coniferous delight. The smoky and sweetly charred-wood facets of clove waft about creating the illusion of a distant campfire somewhere. Transitioning, a resinous, camphor aura comes into its own reminding of crushed-pine needles. Crestworts supply an aromatic mustiness, while champignon contributes its mouldy, mushroom aspects. Moss and lichen, with their dank and earthy character, complete the forest undergrowth mirage. The foresty pines segue to the base where a colophony incense sprinkles its splendid, aromatic, pine resin and smokiness. while a joyful woodiness from pepper flutters about. A spiritual element is added to the outdoorsy pine. A pleasing drydown ensues. This masculine, nature-loving composition has very good projection and longevity.
Gucci Pour Homme
Dior Fahrenheit is my recommendation
My sales thread
check out A*men and it's flankers.

Chanel Platinum Egoiste is an all around winner. Appeals to young women? Check. Masculine? Check. Staying power and projection? Check. Extremely versatile (day/evening, all seasons)? Check. Fits your budget? Check.
do not know how no one has mentioned this but Kiton , Kiton black, And try Hugo by Hguo boss I've been told by a lady that its what a man Should smell like. And lastly If you like Rive Gauche then get that I've been told by many woman your age that it smells really good.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
Here are mine:
Polo Black (not Double Black, though, for me)
Bvlgari pour homme
Chic by Carolina Herrera
Armani Mania
Armani Code
Fahrenheit as mentioned by others is probably the best answer while old it smells timeless and it has the longevity/silage your after. L'Instant de Guerlain extreme is another.
Bulgari Black
I'd suggest Fahrenheit or Fahrenheit Absolute. That said, Armani Code is extremely popular with the ladies (I just turned 26), and everyone seems to LOVE Encre Noire.
My first recommendation is a scent called KINSKI, fits the bill for what you described to a tee!
Also, I fully endorse the following...
Comme Des Garcons 2 Man
Bvlgari Black
Encre Noire
Paul SMith Story
Gucci Envy for Men
Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac
Zirh Ikon
Dior Fahrenheit (still smells modern after almost 25 years!)
Chanel Platinum Egoiste.
The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.
+1 Fahrenheit or Even Absolute
+1 Encre Noir
+1 Paul Smith Man
Michael by Michael Kors
Gucci pH II
He Wood Rocky Mountain
Lalique pH
Unfortunately women your age tend to like the clean, transparent or freshly-scrubbed stuff on their boys. Scents like AdG, Cool Water, Chanel Bleu or Herrera Aqua will score well with this group.
But for a dose of intrigue to keep them guessing, try Chanel Sycamore.
i'm 27 and i feel like i've def moved into the late 20's bracket, but when i was 24 and even now i think i always gravitated towards what you've initially described. when i think of "very masculine" in terms of fragrances i think:
- variations on wood, whether they be spicy or dry or airy aromatic
- variations on leather, again, whether they be spicy or dry or airy aromatic
- 70's/80's powerhouse - which is basically throwing in the kitchen sink or every variation of "oriental" you can think of
that being said, you said you don't enjoy citrus or powder. someone mentioned Dior Homme - don't do it. you'll hate it. it works on some guys' chemistry, i've witnessed it (smelled?) for myself, but on most that powdery iris ends up like smelling like old lady hair spray. same for a lot of the male Prada offerings.
i like the nostalgia factor of a lot of the early 90's mentions like Eternity and the powerhouse Azzaro Pour Homme - but i feel like they are def dated. i own both, but when i wear them, it's purely for my own enjoyment - Eternity has illicited comments like "you smell like middle school" and APH has gotten "you smell like a used car salesman in the 70's."
on a more positive note, Platinum Egoiste has garnered many compliments and with a light application smells fantastic and doesn't have that same dated feeling as Eternity, Carolina Herrera, etc. i don't know what it is, but Chanel nails that aromatic, fresh, wood thing perfectly. it's an anytime scent too. i can see it worn with a tux or t-shirt and jeans. it's the right lightness but also the right heaviness. i literally only have to spray it once and its enough.
that being said, you said u want the ladies to enjoy this scent as much as you do, so my recc is CDG Kyoto. it's a super clean (which hits the modern thing) with dry wood and smokey incense (the masc you're looking for) combo. i've received nothing but compliments on this scent. there aren't a lot of mainstream/mall scents out there with this composition currently since the masses are demanding more of a Chanel Bleu feel, so you'll stand out too. it's different but is still understandable.

Mark Birley Charles Street is a lighter version of Tuscan Leather. The words "masculine" and "modern" are relative here.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
The only one I can suggest (which I am not fond of myself) would be Michael Kors. Dirty English may fit the bill as well, however it is not as masculine as one would assume
Nice suggestions! I wonder no one mentioned CH 212?!
Sounds like you want big scent with woods, tobacco, leather, moss etc. but no: powder, florals or citrus, and for under $100 (*some are a bit over a hundred). Try these.

Vote to kick wrestling from Olympics upsets young athletes
Vote to kick event from games talk of Mat Classic

A banner hangs at the Tacoma Dome during the Mat Classic XXV state wrestling tournament, in reaction to the International Olympic Committee vote to eliminate wrestling as an Olympic sport.
No really, it was hanging there from the Tacoma Dome's upper deck, a big banner that read, "Save Olympic Wrestling."
Earlier this week, as hundreds of wrestlers prepared for state, the International Olympic Committee's executive board voted to eliminate one of the Olympics' oldest sports after the 2016 Games. And while that vote did not seal wrestling's Olympic fate -- a final vote will be held in September -- it did deal a huge blow to the sport.
"It's a tough blow," said Marysville Pilchuck coach Craig Iversen. "Our sport is very successful. We're filling up the Tacoma Dome, kids are excited to be here, and for the top level to not be recognized would very damaging to this sport."
Losing Olympic wrestling would be damaging not because a bunch of the kids competing this weekend have that in their future, but because of the ripple effect that would occur if the sport's most visible stage was taken away. For years, the number of colleges offering wrestling has been shrinking, and that trend would likely only worsen if the sport is dropped at its highest level.
"Many colleges keep wrestling because it's an Olympic sport," said longtime Lake Stevens coach Brent Barnes. "If it's no longer an Olympic sport, it will definitely have a ripple effect."
And as Lake Stevens junior Logan Johnson points out, he and most everyone else here know the Olympics aren't in their future, but that doesn't mean kids getting into the sport shouldn't have that as a dream like he did when he began wrestling years ago.
"That goal should be there for kids," he said.
If wrestling, a sport that can trace its Olympic origins to 708 B.C., is eliminated, it will go down as one of the dumbest, biggest money-driven moves in Olympic history. And that's saying something. After all, it was just three years ago that Vancouver Winter Olympic organizers had a public relations nightmare on their hands when it became evident that the standing-room-only space they had sold for events at Cypress Mountain did not exist because there wasn't enough snow to cover the hay bales on which fans were supposed to stand. So yeah, the bar's been set pretty low, yet the IOC seems hell-bent on slithering under it.
In the past, Olympic events have been eliminated because too few countries can compete. But while that may have been the reason for softball's elimination, that is most definitely not the case with wrestling. In London last summer, wrestlers from 22 different countries medaled, and 14 countries earned multiple medals. Four years earlier, athletes from 28 different countries medaled. Yes, Russia seems to always take home the most wrestling medals, but this sport is as diverse -- 71 countries were represented in last year's games, and women's wrestling is one of the fastest-growing sports in this country and many others -- and competitive as there is at the Olympics.
"It's truly an international sport," Barnes said. "It drew from more countries than any other sport at the last Olympics. Knowing that, the diversity of it, women, men, all ethnic backgrounds, all sizes and shapes, it is a unique sport that way.
Despite all of that, wrestling is very much in danger, and sadly, the reason is almost entirely financial. Wrestling wasn't a top-selling ticket in London, and it doesn't get good TV ratings, so if it can be replaced with something newer and flashier that will produce ratings, the IOC says to heck with history and tradition.
"It's stupid," said Lake Stevens senior Eric Soler. "I'm pretty sure the Olympics used to be, what, wrestling and running?"
See, the kids get it. So why can't the IOC? Oh yeah, money. So much good comes from the Olympics, but more than ever, it's a bottom-line-driven entity, just like nearly every other sport we watch. Two years ago, NBC Universal bid $4.38 billion for Olympic broadcasting rights through 2020, and that's just for this country. And apparently if a few more bucks can be squeezed out of the Olympics, well, what's a few thousand years of history, right?
Fortunately wrestling still has a shot. Just as it was the talk of the Mat Classic, this topic has been a big talking point all around the country, not just in the wrestling community, but also for athletes ranging from NFL Pro Bowlers like Roddy White, a former high school wrestler, to winter-sport athletes who are standing up for their summer-Olympic brethren. And that's just in this country.
"It's not done yet," Barnes said. "The outcry around the world is pretty loud right now, and hopefully people can maintain that until they have a vote in September."
Hopefully the IOC can get this one right. Why can't a new event be added -- that was the impetus for voting on a sport's removal -- without eliminating one? And if a sport absolutely has to be eliminated, why in the world does wrestling get the axe over something like modern pentathlon? And while we're at it, should we really be referring to a sport as "modern" when it debuted at the 1912 Olympics? Or why can't we eliminate trampoline, an event that most closely resembles, well, practice for other sports that involve flipping?
But if Tuesday's vote was the beginning of the end for Olympic wrestling, the impact will be felt at all levels, from the world's best wrestlers who are medal hopefuls, to the kids just hoping to survive until the second day at state.
"It's a crying shame," said Stanwood coach Ray Mather. "It's going to hurt a lot."

Newark Breast Implant Revision reviews
78% of Newark reviewers said Breast Implant Revision was worth it
"27 Year Old Breast Revision After..."
I had a bad experience with my initial augmentation performed by a different surgeon. I went to Dr Gartner for correction. First and foremost, although the 3 surgeries I endured were not a pleasant journey for me, its 2 years later and I couldn't be happier with the end results. The first surgeon wanted to charge me full price to correct my bottoming out, which I couldn't believe (I didn't... more
"Breast Implants and Liposuction..."
I came to see Dr. Engler for liposuction of the outer thighs and hips, and also for breast implants (my second pair). I had spent about six months searching for just the right surgeon, and when I met Doctor Engler I knew he was the one. Not only were his reviews stellar, they were consistent. All of them seemed to rave about the same things: his warm and patient demeanor, the unrushed... more
"Breast Implant Increase, Rhinoplasty..."
Extremely depressed over experience. Graduated nursing school, saved a little money and wanted to give myself a little boost. Originally went in for rhinoplasty only, mentioned I was thinking about going larger with implants. After the consult decided to go from 420cc saline implants to 700cc saline implants. I thought this would be a great decision, I expressed the look I wanted very... more
"64 Years Old Woman in Good Shape -..."
1978 had allergan implants. They lasted 28 years without any problem or incident. 2007 had a revision with mentor implants. Had nothing but problems. The implants folded inside my breasts and it could not be detected with an MRI or a mammogram. It is sad that i had to have surgery to see what the problem was. I replaced mentors implants once again with Allergan. I would think Mentor... more
"41 Yrs Old, 1 Child, Breast Implant..."
More than 11 years ago as earlier explained I had my first set of saline implants subglandular done at Bellevue hospital by Dr. Norman Rowe. I knew plenty of women that had implants because I was a figure competitor & generally most ladies had very little body fat which meant small breasts. As a result I'd say more than 65% of the ladies had boob jobs. I never felt comfortable asking the... more
"Bottoming Out Breast Revision..."
Can't say enough great things about Dr.Fiorillo and his staff ! I had a nightmare of a year with a rupture 3 months after I had my implants placed BY A DIFFERENT DR. Who then replace them and one immediately started to bottom out - for 6 months the other doctor told me nothing was wrong as the implant slide down lower and lower ... It was disturbing, scary and I honestly didn't think I could... more
"Replaced Saline with Cohesive Gel..."
My first breast implant surgery was in NYC in 1995 (220cc's). In 1999 I saw another doctor in NYC and my incisions opened 5 times (delayed wound healing) so I ended with one under the muscle and one over – it was a mess. In 2005 one ruptured so both were redone by another doctor in NYC. At this time both were under the muscle but very uneven and most of the scar tissue from 1999... more
"I Waited Much to Long to Do This......"
I had my first set of implants done back in 1997 before having my second child. They never looked the same after that. I had convinced myself they didn't look that bad...but they hung low and towards the outsides of my body. There was just no bra in existence that was able to make them look nice in a shirt or dress with a low neckline. Although they were big, I always joked that "the... more
"Breast Augmentation, 550cc HP..."
This was my second time around with doctor Sudarsky, again a wonderful experience. Just FYI: Dr Laura Sudarsky volunteers in under developed African countries, she travels and performs free of charge plastic surgeries for children born with deformities. I found it very nice about her, it shows what kind of thoughtful person she is. In 2005 she performed a TUBA with saline 300cc and 275cc... more
"Breast Augmentation & Revision -..."
It was done under local anesthesia which was easier to handle than being knocked out. I think the whole surgery took about an hour. Went home and was able to fall asleep. Woke up the next day and was able to move around the house and go to the store (nothing heavy) to do some very light shopping! I was not sick, but draining fluid which last about 3 days. In about 3 weeks I was able to... more
I went to Dr. Berlet for a breast revision procedure and was beyond disappointed with my entire experience! During my initial consultation, I explained to Dr. Berlet my concerns and expressed that I wanted to go for a larger size implant. He said that I am very tiny and that going for anything over 375cc would look silly on me. I should have seen the red flags right there but he was very good... more
"Left Much More Swollen Than Right......"
I feel that at that there shouldn't be such a difference.I'm in my 2nd week post op..I just want to make sure that once then swelling goes down they will look better, and that the natural underline breast area will form better, that looks so swollen..help..I was hoping someone could advise me further on this. Or has anyone ever experienced this before? more
"Terrible Looking Results - Manhattan, NY"
I had my breasts revised by Dr. Rapaport and I'm completely unhappy with the results. The breasts are two different sizes and one pocket is way lower than the other. My pectoral muscles on my left side are damaged and I am left in a deep depression since having them done. I do not trust his skills as a surgeon, so going back to have him fix them is not happening. I have to live with hideous... more
"Breast Revision with Dr. Elliot..."
So I'm scheduled to have a breast revisions with periareolar lift with Dr. Elliot Heller February 28, 2013. Right now I have 390cc smooth round high profile implants that were done in August 2007 by Dr. Rosenfeld. I'm not happy with the results. They are lopsided and too big. I'm going to Dr. Heller for breast revision, I am getting smaller implants 300cc-325cc.. Hopefully the second time is a... more
"Fixed my Encapsulation and "Double..."
After two operations to switch my implants (another surgeon), I found Dr. Rowe. I had severe encapsulation in the left breast, which not only hurt on a daily basis, but looked deformed. My right breast had a "double bubble." I felt ugly and lived in ongoing pain. A friend insisted I meet with Dr. Rowe as he is known to fix other surgeons' mistakes. I now finally feel good and look... more
"Best Surgeon... Impeccable Work and..."
I had BA about five years ago but then I developed a capsular contracture on one side. After living uncomfortably with it for over a year and trying every alternative method to correct/ repair it, revision surgery seemed to be the only option left. My previous BA was done on the west coast and I had since relocated to NY. While I have no major complaints about my previous surgeon it... more
"Breast Aug - Mini Tummy Tuck -..."
I had seen this docctor in reguard to my Saline rippling implants that were above the muscle, after a consult he reccommebded to put them under the muscle, I had had a breast reduction 15 yrs prior and was made to small and at this point I have had implants for about 7 years. I also has a small wrinkle above my belly button and wanyted it gone . I asked Dr DiBernardo if (since i had small... more
"Breast Augmentation Second Time..."
My experience with Dr Engler was very positive and I would like to share this with anyone considering a breast augmentation. 12 years ago I had my 1st BA with saline at 360cc., since then my body changed and the implants got harder. I began the search for a plastic surgeon 2 years ago, my goal was to educate myself about treating the capsular contracture and getting larger silicone... more
"Love Them, Can't Wait to Go Bigger!..."
Hi, I've had my breasts done three times and I am about a 34dd or 34E, I have saline implants under the muscle and I want to go bigger but I'm thinking to try the cohesive gel implants. How do you feel about moving your implants from under the muscle to over the muscle? Do you still have sensation in your nipples? (sorry for the awkward question) and do you think it looks better over the... more
"I had breast implants placed in..."
I had breast implants placed in France 10 years ago before moving to New York City. I was really never happy with them, but was scared to have another surgery. I found Dr. S here on RealSelf.com and made an appointment when I was in New York City. He discussed with me replacing the implants and performing a breast lift at the same time. I was scared about the lift, but OMG is turned out so... more

Pop Art Prints
March 21, 2014 – August 31, 2014
- Go behind-the-scenes with the museum's blog, Eye Level
In the 1950s and 1960s, pop art offered a stark contrast to abstract expressionism, then the dominant movement in American art. The distinction between high art and popular culture was assumed until artists like Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol and others of their generation challenged a whole range of assumptions about what fine art should be. When pop art emerged on the art scene, it was eagerly embraced by an enthusiastic audience. The artists became celebrities and demand for their work was high. One reason they turned to prints was to satisfy this demand. They favored commercial techniques such as screenprinting and lithography with which they could produce bright colors and impersonal, flat surfaces. As editioned multiples, prints were more widely available and affordable than unique works of art, and pop art imagery was readily reproduced in the popular press.
Pop Art Prints presents a selection of thirty-seven prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's permanent collection. The installation includes works from primarily the 1960s by Allan D'Arcangelo, Jim Dine, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Mel Ramos, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann. The installation is part of a series that highlights objects from the museum's collection that are rarely on public view. The prints on display were selected by Joann Moser, deputy chief curator.

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!
Every dog I have owned except one was a shelter dog, the other was rescued from a puppy mill. She was 4.5, had 7 kinds of worms she was not being treated for, and didn't have a UTI she was being treated for. Yes, sometimes shelter dogs have problems, if you really want a puppy, there are lots of shelter puppies. Most shelters do full exams as well as treat for problems. Puppy-mills (NOT the same thing as certified breeders) are notorious for filth and sickness, often cleaning and selling very sick animals, and any that aren't sold by the age of 3-4 months gets killed, sometimes humanely, most of the time not.
How about instead of knocking shelters, you learn enough about dogs to get one you can handle?
Seriously? Legalizing puppy mills?
Look up supply and demand and that will explain the importance of boycotting puppy mills and pet shops. It's basic economics. Your theory on legalizing puppy mills is seriously twisted.
Also this has NOTHING to do with this article. So please go find another soapbox elsewhere.
You need to see pictures of Puppy Mills and maybe that will change your mind about adopting from a pet store... It is called reality of a pet store puppy... Adopt Don't Shop...
I understand why you don't want to adopt. Perfectly valid reasons, in my opinion. That's why my family never has.
But you should go to a breeder instead of a store.
There's no excuse to be supporting puppy mills, and the idea of regulating them simply doesn't work. When dogs are treated like profit, it will never turn out okay.
Breeders might seem expensive, but I've found that pet stores often jack up prices. I had two Shiba Inus, I paid a couple hundred for each of them from breeders. I frequently see shiba's in puppy stores for over thousand.
Contrary to your belief, letting a dog adopt you IS NOT about you...it's about saving their life. However, 100% of the time they save you more than you think they will. Purchasing from a pet store keeps the puppy mills in business. Legalizing puppy mills ?? Is that like legalizing dog fighting so they could be regulated ??
Your attempt at rationalizing puppy mills is as equally lame as your understanding of what these beautiful creatures are all about.....
YES! People who have reasons why they prefer to buy instead of adopt want to bring an animal into their homes for the WRONG REASONS!
Honestly many who adopt also do so for the wrong reasons. They feel sorry for the dog, want to "fix" him etc and are not equipped to properly train the dog with a balance of praise, correction and discipline so he can be a great dog and fit in the home.

The Light Fantastic: A Novel of Discworld
The Light Fantastic: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market Paperback)
It's just one of those days when nothing seems to go right—a most inopportune time for the first tourist ever to set foot (and carnivorous Luggage) on the Discworld to be extending his already eventful vacation. (Not that he currently has much choice in the matter.) But with a monstrous red star on a direct collision course, the future for the residents of this flat planet carried by four elephants riding on the shell of a giant turtle swimming through space appears uncertain at best. Fortunately, there is one individual who can save Discworld from total destruction. Unfortunately, that hero happens to be the singularly inept wizard Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world.

OXFORD, Ohio – In one swing of the bat, Dan Walsh quelled any comeback hopes for Northern Kentucky. The senior's bases loaded single in the ninth gave the Miami baseball team a walk-off 7-6 win over NKU at Hayden Park on Tuesday.
The RedHawks (8-9) jumped ahead early thanks to Ryan Elble's RBI double in the bottom of the second inning. MU fell behind in the top of the third however as a pair of errors allowed NKU to score two unearned runs.
Gary Russo's two-run double put the Red and White back on top 3-2 in the bottom of the frame. The knock also extended the sophomore's hitting streak to 13 games. Max Andresen brought Russo around in the next at-bat, singling through the box to cap a three-run inning.
Elble's speed netted MU another run in the fourth. The shortstop led off the frame with a single and promptly stole second base. An errant throw during the steal allowed him to move up to third base and Tommy Ricciardi's RBI single brought him the final 90 feet home. Russo drove himself in by belting his fourth home run of the season in the fifth, a solo shot that made it 6-2 Miami.
Charles Zubrod did not allow a hit over the first five innings in his first start of the season, but the Norse (3-14) got to him in the sixth. Zac Asman's sacrifice fly started a three-run rally in the frame. David Head drew NKU another run closer with an RBI fielder's choice and Josh Myers pinch-hit RBI single cut the RedHawks' lead to 6-5. The lead held until Asman launched a solo homer to tie the score at 6-6 in the top of the eighth.
"We played a pretty good game tonight," Miami head coach Danny Hayden said. "There are still things we can improve on, but we are talented enough that we should win our share of games going forward if we play well. I give credit to Northern Kentucky, they played tough and put a lot of pressure on us in the late innings."
Facing extra innings, Scott Slappey doubled to start the bottom of the ninth and John Crummy's sacrifice bunt moved the winning run over to third base. Not wanting the potent bats of Russo or Andresen to beat them, the Norse issued intentional walks to both batters, setting the table for Walsh. The senior third baseman went the other way, lacing a single to left field to give the RedHawks their fourth-straight victory.
Zubrod did not factor in the decision, but carried a no-hitter into the sixth. He ended up tossing 5.2 innings and allowing five runs (three earned) on three hits. He struck out four batters and walked three. Three MU relievers allowed just one run on two hits in 3.1 innings, with Charlie Suich (1-1) picking up the win after throwing a perfect ninth inning.
"Charles has the kind of stuff that could allow him to pitch deeper into games," Hayden said. "He felt good about his stuff and he did a nice job of getting us back into the dugout quickly."
In addition to Russo's 2-for-3 evening, Ricciardi notched his first multi-hit game of the year by going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Miami opens Mid-American Conference play this weekend when it hosts Western Michigan for a three-game series. First pitch in Friday's opener is slated for 6 p.m.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in ground water and is believed to aide in the prevention of the early stages of tooth decay. Fullerton's groundwater supplies have naturally occurring fluoride ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 milligrams per liter of water (mg/L). One mg/L is roughly equivalent to one drop in 10 gallons. The City of Fullerton does not currently add fluoride to its water supplies. In comparison, water utilities that have chosen to add fluoride to their water supplies contain about 0.7 to 1.0 mg/L of fluoride.
For those water suppliers that do choose to fluoridate their water supplies, the California Department of Health Services requires daily monitoring by water utilities to ensure fluoride remains within acceptable levels. The California Department of Health Services established a primary drinking water standard for fluoride at less than 2 mg/L, which is more stringent than EPA's primary standard of less than 4 mg/L, and must be met by all water suppliers.
While most public health organizations, including the American Dental Association, endorse fluoridation, some citizen groups oppose it.Among other complaints, opposition groups claim fluoride can cause bone cancer or general bone weakness. There are numerous articles about fluoride, both pro and con, available on the internet.
In an effort to promote public health through the protection and maintenance of dental health, the State of California adopted State Assembly Bill (SB) 733, which outlines steps for water agencies serving more than 10,000 customers to be evaluated as potential candidates to receive State funds for the construction of physical facilities necessary to fluoridate their drinking water supplies. Although Fullerton has provided a cost estimate to the State for the implementation of a fluoridation program, the State of California has not yet been able to fund the program as intended under SB 733.
Beginning November 2007, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), which supplies Fullerton with about 25% of annual drinking water, has elected to begin fluoridating their drinking water supplies to a level considered "optimal" by health agencies for reducing and controlling tooth decay.This means you will be able to prevent cavities simply by regularly drinking a glass of tap water.
MWD will adjust the fluoride level in its water supplies to the recommended optimum range of 0.7 to 0.8 parts per million (ppm).In contrast, the City's groundwater has naturally occurring levels of fluoride ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 ppm.Currently, water purchased from MWD is provided primarily to consumers located in the northerly portions of Fullerton, but can be provided to consumers in the central portion of the City depending on water demands.Whereas consumers in the southerly portion of the City receive only groundwater.
Water fluoridation is not a new concept.Water agencies across the nation have been adding fluoride to their water supplies for decades.However, customers who do not want to drink fluoridated water can purchase home water treatment units that use reverse osmosis membrane filtration to effectively remove fluoride.A list of state-certified water treatment devices may be found at www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/device/Pages/watertreatmentdevices.aspx.
For more information on fluoride in MWD's drinking water, contact the City's Water Quality Specialist at (714) 738-6896, the Metropolitan Water Quality Information Hotline at (213) 217-6850, option 2 or visit MWD's website at www.mwdh2o.com/fluoridation/index.html. For additional fluoride information visit the American Dental Association website at www.ada.org/public/topic/fluoride/news.asp.
Should you have any questions regarding fluoride in your water, please contact the Water Quality Specialist for the City of Fullerton at (714) 738-6896.In addition, if you have concerns or comments about MWD's fluoridation policy, you should contact them directly at (213) 217-6850, option 2.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help determine whether you have had a prior strep infection with the bacteria group A Streptococcus; to help diagnose complications resulting from a recent strep infection, such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, a form of kidney disease
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms such as fever, chest pain, fatigue and shortness of breath that suggest rheumatic fever, or symptoms such as edema and dark urine that are associated with glomerulonephritis, especially when you recently may have had a group A streptococcal infection that was not diagnosed and treated appropriately; may be done along with or following an ASO test
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Antideoxyribonuclease-B antibody (anti-DNase B) is one of the most common of several antibodies that are produced by the body's immune system in response to a strep infection with group A Streptococcus. This test measures the amount of antibody to one of the streptococcal antigens (anti-DNase B) in the blood. It may be done with or following an antistreptolysin O (ASO) test, another test to detect antibody to a streptococcal antigen.
Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), is the bacterium responsible for causing strep throat and a variety of other infections, including skin infections (pyoderma, impetigo, cellulitis). In most cases, strep infections are identified and treated with antibiotics, and the infections resolve.
When a strep infection does not cause identifiable symptoms, goes untreated, or is treated ineffectively, however, complications (sequelae), namely rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, can sometimes develop, especially in young children. These secondary conditions have become much less prevalent in the U.S. because of routine strep testing, but they still do occur. These conditions can cause serious complications, such as damage to the heart, acute kidney dysfunction, tissue swelling (edema), and high blood pressure (hypertension). Anti-DNase B and ASO tests can be used to help determine if these are due to a recent group A strep infection.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Bohemian residents angry at the poor quality of their beer literally dumped it and created the pilsner.
Mother Earth Brewing's take on the beverage came close to besting all in the country in reaching that standard, taking the bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver on Saturday.
The festival — deemed the largest in the United States — attracted 732 breweries from 49 states and the District of Columbia, with more than 70,000 beers on hand.
Mother Earth cofounder Trent Mooring said he, fellow cofounder Stephen Hill and brewmaster Josh Brewer headed out to Colorado hoping to medal again.
"We also won last year, with Dark Cloud, so we thought we might get something for Dark Cloud, but we ended up doing it for the Bohemian pilsner," Mooring said.
In addition to the pilsner, named Porch Swing, Mother Earth also entered Dark Cloud, Endless River, Tripel Overhead, Weeping Willow and Windowpane. GABF included 84 categories of beer in the competition, though judges wouldn't announce a medal winner in a given category if they didn't have one that would match up to the set standard.
Pilsners can be harder to craft than some darker beers, in general.
"Generally, the lighter the style, the harder it is to brew," Brewer said. "So, if you're brewing an imperial stout with coffee in it, and barrel-aging it, there's a lot of things to hide behind, compared to brewing a light lager. And, lagers are generally harder to brew, on top of it. They take longer to ferment and to age.
"But, the less ingredients to have, the less you have to hide behind, basically."
Brewer continued on to say he was pleased to win with a German rather than American beer, because German beers have a longer history.
In terms of Central European brewing, though, the pilsner is a relatively modern concoction.
After about 600 years of brewing dark, top-fermenting beers of variable consistency, in 1838 the residents of Pilsen – then a western city in the Austrian Empire, now part of the Czech Republic – had enough and demanded a better-quality beer. The city council ordered more than 300 casks of the inferior brew destroyed.
As a replacement, residents and city officials established what was, in effect, a municipal brewery and recruited a Bavarian brewmaster to put out its first product. The bottom-fermenting, light, hoppy lager's direct legacy is seen in the beer Pilsner Urquell, with the German word urquell meaning "fountainhead" or "original source."
Of the hundreds of breweries in the beer festival, western states dominated and breweries from those states won the most medals. Mooring disputed the notion those breweries had a home-field advantage.
"I don't think it's a regional thing at all," Mooring said. "I think it concerns who has the best beer."
Barbara Fusco, sales and marketing director for the Brewers Association, the craft brewery trade group behind the GABF, said the volume of regional entries can be dictated by the simple number of breweries established.
She noted a couple East Coast states performed well, as a percentage.
"Breweries from Colorado and California won a lot of medals – and they also had a very high number of entries," Fusco said. "One indicator of quality rather than quantity is the number of medals per entry from each state. Two East Coast states took high marks here, with New Jersey and Delaware winning out at 14.3 percent and 13 percent (ratio of medal to entries) respectively."
Of the other North Carolina winners, Carolina Brewery of Chapel Hill and Pittsboro won bronze for its robust porter, Ole Hickory Brewery in Hickory won silver for the old ale or strong ale category, and Wicked Weed Brewing in Asheville won gold for its American-style Brett beer.
In the past, Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery in Farmville won bronze for its milk stout in 2006, and in 2009 won gold for its Baltic porter and bronze for its barrel-aged Baltic porter.

Not voting under a partisan label is common enough these days, but eschewing a political home can kill a campaign before it begins.
Except, maybe, in local office.
In a seat that shows a turnout of less than 4,000 voters, or less than 30,000 in a countywide effort, the necessary party machinery of fundraising, getting out the vote, advertising and volunteer recruitment doesn't go near the level of running for Congress or statewide office.
And then there's the issue with party primaries, which can determine the winner far before November's general election.
"I think the main reason (to run unaffiliated) was to give the citizens of Lenoir County a fair choice," said former Lenoir County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Rickie Pearson, who is running for sheriff. "If I ran on the Democratic ticket, it would've been three of us going head-to-head and they wouldn't get much choice."
Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill and former Kinston Department of Public Safety Maj. Ronnie Ingram filed for the office as Democrats. Filing for the party primaries ends today at noon.
Regardless, the process remains an unlikely choice for candidates. Political science professors coast to coast teach that the largest predictor of voter behavior is party affiliation.
Lenoir County Board of Elections Director Dana King said in the 17 years she's been in her position, she's only noticed two or three people decide to run affiliated.
"We had others question about it. Mac Daughety did that several years ago and he asked could he do it again, and people talked about it, but as far as getting petitions and really getting out there and has put his name out there, Mr. Pearson's the only one," King said.
Daughety, the Lenoir County commissioner for District 1, said he ran unaffiliated by default since by the time he was convinced to run, the primary filing deadline already passed.
As of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, he said he was unsure whether to run as a Republican or run unaffiliated again.
In the end, Daughety said the process of his 2010 campaign was beneficial.
"I wish everybody had to run unaffiliated, because then people choose you on what you bring to the table and what you can and will and have done, instead of whether there's a D or an R by your name," Daughety said. "And secondly, if you run unaffiliated, your loyalty is to the people who voted you in."
In that election, he defeated incumbent Democrat Claude Stroud by 1,641 votes to 1,564, or 51.2 percent to 48.8 percent.
According to state law, any person running unaffiliated in any office other than statewide has to provide signatures of at least 4 percent of the registered voters in that district as it stood as of Jan. 1 of the year of the election year.
For Pearson, he needs 1,557 signatures, and if Daughety goes down that path, he will need about 283 signatures.
Unaffiliated candidates have until June 12 at 5 p.m. to present signatures to their county board of elections – or each county board of elections covered by their district – for verification.
Verified petitions are then due to the county board of elections by June 27 at noon.
Candidates who present the required amount of verified petition signatures will have their names placed on the November ballot.
