The LA Galaxy's newest Brazilian forward Samuel has arrived in Southern California.
LA's newest striker arrived on Friday morning on a flight from Brazil ahead of LA's prepration which begun earlier in the day. Time Warner Cable Deportes was there to capture the action of Samuel's arrival and his first interactions with his new teammates.
Check it out below.

The preseason is finally upon us and changes are being made rather rapidly for the LA Galaxy.
LA announced that the team has reconvened for the 2014 on Friday and will hold their first open session for the media on Tuesday, Jan. 28. When LA does return to preseason, they'll be doing so without a handful of notable players from 2013 including goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini and midfielder Michael Stephens who will not return for the upcoming season. Also departing are Sean Franklin (selected in MLS Re-Entry Draft Stage One), Hector Jimenez (trade to Columbus), Laurent Courtois (option declined), Colin Clark (option declined), Pablo Mastroeni (retired), and Jose Villarreal (loan to Cruz Azul).
In addition, the Galaxy revealed a tentative preseason schedule that included a closed-door scrimmage in Mexico City against Pumas UNAM on Feb. 11. With the match taking place less than a month prior to LA's date with Club Tijuana in the Quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League; the match will surely be used as preparation for LA's CCL campaign.
Thoughts on the Cudicini and Stephens departures? A closed-door scrimmage against Pumas?
Share them below.
A quick little update for everyone.
Posting may be a bit light over the next two days, but we're planning some very exciting pieces of content around the LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal match against Club Tijuna. Over the next two days, myself and other members of LAGalaxy.com will be in Tijuana seeing the sights and experincing the atmosphere south of the Border. While we're down here, be sure to offer any tips on any must-see spots.
Below is a little tease as we spoke to Club Tijana attacker -- and Tijuana native -- Fernando Arce as well as U.S. internationals Herculez Gomez, Paul Arriola and Joe Benny Corona on their series against the Galaxy. Arce can be seen in my instagram post wearing a t-shirt that reflects his belief about how the series will go.
The U.S. National Team has spent the last two weeks in Sao Paulo as part of a "dry run" ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
During the two-week stay in Brazil, the U.S. has trained at the facilities of Sao Paulo FC and played a pair of scrimmages against their first team. The U.S. will head back to Southern California later this week ahead of their match against Korea Republic at StubHub Center.
In this video provided by U.S. Soccer, LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez and several of his U.S. teammates discuss the trip.
Check out the video below.
The U.S. Under-17's and LA Galaxy Academy forward Haji Wright continued their impressive run on Wednesday with a 5-2 victory over Norway to advance to the championship of the Aegean Cup.
Wright came off the bench in the 41st minute as Americans overwhelmed the Scandinavians with three second half goals in a match that was shortened to 80 minutes due to tournament regulations. The match comes just a day after the Galaxy Academy forward tallied an assist in U-17's dramatic 2-1 win over France.
The U.S. will close group play on Friday against Scotland before taking part in the tournament's championship match on Jan. 25.
Thoughts on Wright's continued development? Hope that he ends up as an LA Galaxy Homegrown Player?
Share them below.
During the offseason, many in MLS take time to get away from the game, but LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane has chosen the opposite route—using the preseason as time to receive his UEFA A and B coaching credentials.
In an in-depth interview with his former Republic of Ireland teammate Kevin Kilbane in The Daily Mail, Keane touched on a variety of topics including his position with the Galaxy -- Keane describes himself as the team's "number 10" -- to the best XI players that have played alongside the Irishman. However, his interest in coaching after his playing days are over was the most enlightening.
"I just want it for when I do finish playing but I have just signed a two year contract and hopefully will play beyond that," Keane said. "I was apprehensive because you are out of your comfort zone but I was surprised when I got out there the first time and really enjoyed it. When you are on the training pitch you see things and as soon as I got out there and saw the picture I was surprised.
"It was a natural progression. What else am I going to do? I won't go down the media road, I enjoy it out there every day too much," Keane added. "I've been very vocal about ex-players being involved, we don't see it enough in Ireland but it is starting to happen in England and hopefully with this FAI course, others will get involved.
The LA Captain also discussed his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Jermain Defoe's signing with Toronto FC, noting that he'll be faced with pressure from the outset to start due to his Designated Player status.
"[Designated Players] have to produce all the time and the lads there rely on you and look to you when it's not going well to score or create a goal, change the game, get it by the scruff of the neck," said Keane. "There, because of what you're getting paid with the wages structure, everything is about you. The press wants you all the time and you are the face of the team that brings pressure.
"They are reliant on him to score and they look at what he is getting paid, which is normal over there, and there comes expectations with those wages," Keane added.
The LA Galaxy opted against making a selection with the 72nd overall pick on Tuesday, being the lone team in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft to pass on making a selection in either of the final four rounds.
LA selected New Mexico defender Kyle Venter with the 23rd overall pick last week.
The LA Galaxy are moving ever closer to bolstering their midfield with the acquisition of Swedish midfielder Stefan Ishizaki.
A report in the Los Angeles Times on Monday cited an unnamed Galaxy team official who states that the club has a photocopy of a signed contract from the Swedish international. Ishizaki, 31, is expected to head to Southern California later this week to make the deal official. According to the official, the Galaxy were drawn to the midfielder due to his proficiency at delivering set pieces, a distinct problem for LA in 2013 as the club tallied just seven goals off dead ball opportunities.
When asked about the deal, Ishizaki stated that he has had prior interest from MLS clubs including Toronto FC and the Montreal Impact as well as American colleges when he was younger.
"The American way of living attracts me. When I was younger, I had offers for scholarships in the U.S," Ishizaki told reporters in Sweden on Monday. "It has to suit my family and it has to be an interesting team. There is always some cities of the world that you'd rather live in."
Ishizaki has spent the last eight seasons with Elfsborg while tallying 46 goals and 58 assists in 156 appearances for the Borås-based club.
The LA Galaxy have yet to start their preparations for the 2014 MLS Regular season, but the Galaxy's opponents for the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League Club Tijuana are in the midst of their Liga MX season.
Tijuana fell on Saturday 2-1 to Liga MX rival Pachuca to 1-1-1 in their first three matches of the season. Xolos host Monarcas Morelia on Friday at Estadio Calliente. Cristian Pellerano placed Xolos out in front six minutes into the match, but two second half goals from Los Tuzos' Emer Valencia and Walter Ayovi proved too much for Tijuana. Americans Herculez Gomez, Edgar Castillo, Joe Benny Corona, and Paul Arriola each made appearances in the defeat.
Meanwhile in other Liga MX news, Galaxy Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal has yet to make his first team debut for Cruz Azul after failing to make the game day roster during their 1-0 victory over Chiapas.
Highlights of Tijuana's defeat are below.
The LA Galaxy will have another chance to bolster their roster on Tuesday afternoon as the 2014 MLS SuperDraft comes to an end with the final two rounds.
Unlike the first two rounds which were held in Philadelphia last week, the final two rounds will take place via conference call on Tuesday. The Galaxy hold just a single pick in the final two rounds, the 72nd overall selection in the fourth round, which was acquired in the deal that sent goalkeeper Bill Guadette to the New York Red Bulls.
Both of LA's natural selections in the third and fourth rounds were dealt away in trades. The third round selection was sent to the Philadelphia Union as the conditional pick for forward Chandler Hoffman while the fourth round choice was traded away in 2010 to the Houston Dynamo to move up in Stage Two of the 2010 MLS Re-Entry Draft as the Galaxy went on to select Juan Pablo Angel.
Among the talent available in the final two rounds is a host of local players from Southern California colleges. Headlining the SoCal contingent is UC Irvine midfielder Enrique Cardenas, who was a former LA Galaxy Under-23 and 2013 Big West Midfielder of the Year, four-time All-Pac 12 selection Victor Chavez, a forward out of UCLA, and UCSB defensive midfielder Fifi Balden. All three players were projected by many to be late first or early second round selections.
For more potential selections, MLSsoccer.com has provided a list of the best available players at each position.

Mill City Farmers Market
My friends and I went to the Mill City Farmers Market (which is located across the Stone Arch Bridge next to The Guthrie). It was amazing! We arrived a little after ten and the place was packed with a diverse crowd. I had the best gluten free blueberry muffin and an iced coffee but unfortunately, I left my camera at home that day so I don't have any pictures to show you guys. There were many gluten free and dairy free options at the market too, which was awesome. My friends and I decided we are going to make this an every Saturday morning thing. Being able to bike with friends and get a cheap breakfast is something I look forward to every Saturday! I highly recommend attending this farmers market if you have the opportunity. There is great food, produce and live music. And if you don't have money to spend on breakfast go and people watch, it really is fascinating to see the different crowds of people that show up.

text: TRON Hockey Equipment is the best gear for your dollar. In the past 8 months alone, we have sold out three times on the various levels of shafts and replacement blades we offer. Our TRON Basic shaft, great for entry level players, starts at an amazing $29.99! That would barely pay for half a shaft of some competitors models! And with a $19.99 composite replacement blade in four of the most popular curves to date, we expect these blades to continue to fly off our shelves. But don't be fooled by the price: TRON's incredible warranty policy always applies to our products, and we have not had any blades or shafts come back on warranty issues to date! The new 405 shaft and blade which are based off the very successful 405 stick are the lightest blade and shaft combo in the industry. We belive a pro player will love the way this combination feels.

PORTLAND -- Five hatchlings have joined the Oregon Zoo's 18 adult Humboldt penguins in the last month, and one of the chicks emerged from its shell while zoo officials were videotaping.
It was a rare sight because the eggs usually hatch inside the nest box, underneath their parents, said senior bird keeper Gwen Harris.
This hatchling just happened to emerge during a routine check of the egg.
The five chicks were the first to hatch at the zoo in four years, said spokesman Hova Najarian. The public will be able to see them this summer, after they leave their nest boxes and start exploring the newly-remodeled penguinarium.

How to Choose the Best Business VoIP Provider for Your Needs
Depending on the amount of lines/extensions needed, your monthly fees can start as low as $20 per line from an award-winning company like RingCentral. Knowing exactly what you need will make the transition fast, easy, and cost-effective.
Whether a small business VoIP provider or large enterprise, every company has a different list of services, feature sets, and prices. Depending on the size of your business, you must take in to account features needed, and the amount of unanticipated usage.
- Step 1 - check your internet connection/bandwidth to make sure you have sufficient Internet speed (your provider can you help determine this).
- Step 2 - with your budget and service needs in mind, narrow down particular provider offerings to see who can offer you the best service package for your budget.
- Step 3 - decide which equipment is best for your company's current and foreseeable needs. You may purchase a phone from $50 up to $500 with all the bells and whistles.
- Finally - compare companies, available features, and their reliability by reading consumer reviews.
Additionally, here are some questions to ask a potential provider:
- What are the startup & recurring costs?
- Is there a money back guarantee?
- Can you port phone numbers? Costs involved?
- Is there a contract? Are there cancelation fees? Know what the cancelation process is like.
- Are there any hidden fees?
- Which features are included, and which features cost extra?
- Is there international calling?
- What kind of support is available?

We're planning to replace the carpet with hardwood floor this summer.
I got the chandelier from Overstock 3 years ago
my wedding shoes (gift from husband)
Most of my stuff are still in our walk in closet. Here I'm just hanging some of my favorite pieces!
And the whole thing was done on a major budget, like the rest of the place. The only thing I bought full-price ( well almost it was on sale plus I found a 10% coupon online) was the mirrored vanity table. Everything else was previously owned or sale purchases. Without a doubt my most favorite thing in the room is the owl jewelry holder from Urban Outfitters. Overall, I'm really pleased with how this little space turned out. Any thoughts? :)

Incomplete costume: missing gloves and cape. I ordered an adult large to be safe. I easily wear a men's meduim. The jacket was actually a youth large. Extremely too small I could not wear. The pants fit fine, even loose. I would not order from this company again. Waste of money.

Before I get to my anecdote: I didn't check "School/Work" under "Best Uses" because of the way it is cut. It obviously depends on how the WEARER is cut, but I've seen stock photos of this particular costume wherein the BOTTOM of the skirt is slightly ABOVE the model's crotch. NOT appropriate for school or work, even a costume party!
My wife and I initially wanted to make our prepubescent son and daughter be KA and HG this year, but costumes in those sizes don't seem to exist (I wonder why). When we began hunting for the Hitgirl costume for her, we found a lot of off-the-shelf bagged costumes that looked like purple schoolgirl uniforms with ill-fitting sweats, and they were all sized for the teen/junior set. There was nothing really sexy like my wife wanted and nothing at all in her size. Except this one, of course. My wife has a tiny waist but thick legs and large thighs, so we knew that only an XL would work and we had to custom order that in. We had a tailor remove the purple waist band from the skirt and use it to make gussets for the jacket (the material is the same) so it fit her like a glove and a new black waistband was made for the skirt out of 3" stretch material based on her measurement. Since the bottom of the skirt is actually 2 pieces, it was easy for the tailor to just make an opening on either side and add a zipper in place of the velcro. The pants were a comfortable, if snug, fit. She just wore a pair of Tommie Copper pants and a black bodysuit with a sheer chest to smooth things out under the jacket/pants/skirt and it all came together perfectly. She only zipped the jacket halfway and turned heads with the sheer, too. The holster straps wouldn't make it around her legs, but adding the elastic blousing straps from my Air Force BDU's made them a perfect fit. The belt was a stretch, but I did say she has a tiny waist and it was a fit. The included mask was kind of chintzy, but once the edges are hidden behind the bangs and the bob of the suggested wig that SH sells, it looks great. SH also sells toy plastic guns that are very authentic looking and fit nicely into the holsters, but they are pretty tight so don't be expecting to draw them and re-holster them too much without fumbling around a lot. I had to do some similar tailoring to a KA costume and its hood that we got at SH as well (and I am man enough to admit wearing a girdle). My wife and I were the toast of our neighborhood and got as much attention as our three children. Bottom line: This is the costume you want if you really mean business, and it will require the fewest modifications if you aren't a teenager.
I bought it in store and it fits great and looks a lot better than the other hit girl costume Spirit has. Its very close to what hit girl's costume looks like in the movie, so everyone knew who i was.
I tired it on at the store and i got the large and im usually a medium but the top fit funny so i purchased large. The leggings on the large fit a bit funny on me but nothing that really concerns me too much. The top is pretty short if u lift your arms it comes up a bit and i plan on wearing a light purple tank underneath because of slip ups. Im also pinning it to the bottoms and belt. The belt was too big until i put the gun holsters on. The gun holsters are pretty good too. Although in the second movie its not gun holsters theyre for knives. Im not sure if all costumes are supposed to come with a mask, the package says so but mine didnt come with one. The cape hooks onto the top and i really enjoyed that. The bottoms are a different material than the top but it really doesnt bother me. Honestly the costume is a lot lighter than what it should be but you can tell from the photo its really light. Its not that bad though because its still purple. I love the movies and made my own costume when the first movie came out and ive been the same age as hit-girl so its going to be really fun being her again. Overall this costume is pretty good but im going to modify it a bit. Her double ended knife thing is sold at the store but is REALLY small almost child sized so im making my own.
I wanted to try this costume on in the store so I ended up checking it out and buying it at a store locally. The jacket is really short - it fits like a crop top and the materia is a shiny polyester not vinyl like it looks. I plan on wearing a t-shirt or tank underneath. I am usually between a medium and a large depending on if it's a "junior" fit (Large) or a "woman" size (Medium). I ended up getting the medium which is sized as an 8-10 which is what I normally wear. It was a little bit tight but I think the large would be too big on me so I ended up purchasing the medium. The belt is a tie on type and so is the mask. The wig is pretty awesome but be careful because strands are already coming out. It's nicely packaged with a hair net. I will need to search for a wig cap and some gloves. Overall, this costume comes with almost everything you need except for boots, gloves and the katana she carries.

Offense Struggles as Softball Drops Two at Lenoir-Rhyne
February 17, 2014
Game 1 Box Game 2 Box
Hickory, N.C. – Coming off the heels back-to-back wins, the Pfeiffer softball team (3-4) dropped both games of a doubleheader against Lenoir-Rhyne (5-1) by scores of 3-1 and 4-1.
In the first contest of the doubleheader, sophomore pitcher Sam Jarmusch was credited with her second loss on the season, falling to 1-2 on the year. Jarmusch pitched six strong innings and gave up eight hits and three earned runs.
Lenoir-Rhyne was the first to strike in the bottom of the second inning when Jody Mizelle singled to left field to bring Katie Carpenter and Lauren Elder across the plate.
The Falcons responded in the top of the third inning when Hannah Jackson singled to center field allowing Jessica Jackson to score from second on a throwing error by the center fielder. This accounted for the Falcons only run as they went on to lose 3-1.
In game two of the doubleheader it was freshman pitcher Sydney Poole who received the call on the mound. Poole pitched her shortest outing of the season going four and one-third innings, allowing 12 hits and giving up four earned runs, giving Poole her first collegiate loss.
Lenoir-Rhyne struck early in game with a leadoff single followed by a sacrifice bunt. Back-to-back doubles by Haily Jarmen and Brittany Coursen led to the first two runs of the game. The Bears increased their lead when a single by Sarah Kenley plated the third and final run of the inning.
Pfeiffer was held scoreless until the top of the third inning when back-to-back singles by Jackson and Rachel Crowder put runners on first and second. Emily Workman then reached based safely on a throwing error by the shortstop, which allowed Jackson to cross the plate for the Falcons only run.
Lenoir-Rhyne tacked on another run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Dakota Keller singled to right center, bringing home Anne Marie Lackey for the fourth and final run of the game.
Pfeiffer returns to the field when they host Brevard on Wednesday, Feb. 19 in a doubleheader. Game one is expected to start at 1:00 p.m.

Facts About the Population Crisis
FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1988 12:30 p.m.
By the year 2020, the combined populations of Asia and Africa will be 6 to 8 billion people, significantly more than now live on the entire planet.... Within the next decade, 10,000 species of plant and animal life will disappear annually.
This information comes from "Facts about the Population Crisis," published by the Population Institute. The institute dedicates itself to making people aware of the world's population crisis and to controlling it by educating people about planned parenthood and the dangers of overpopulation.
On Friday, April 15, at noon, Werner Fornos, the president of the Population Institute, speaks at the Athenaeum. The noon luncheon will be followed by a half-hour presentation by Fornos about the work of the institute. A question-and-answer session is scheduled from 1:00-1:30 p.m. following the address.

He has written books on job discrimination in the United States, on Japan's reshaping of American labor law, and labor relations in professional sports.
Gould's talk on the future of labor relations in the West promises to be very interesting.
This Fortnightly marks the end of our 1987-88 season at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. During the year we have learned more about the Constitution, politics in athletics, the Marshall Plan, political economy, AIDS, California history, Martin Luther King, China, Africa, and popluation. We had the opportunity to meet Pat Haden, Karch Kiraly, Conner Henry, Ricky Davis, Kevin Starr, Leonard Levy, John Irving, Gov. George Deukmejian, Irving Howe, Martin Marty, Paul Conrad, Margaret Papandreou, Patricia Schroeder, Elie Wiesel, Mortimer Adler, Rev. Leon Sullivan, and Allan Bloom. Almost every Athenaeum guest met with CMC students in a small group, as well as in a larger setting. It has been an exciting year, thanks to the attendance and support of each of you.
Our two fellows, Stephanie Lum and James Van Beek, have hosted our guests, guided the programs, and, above all, produced The Fortnightly. I thank them for their good humor and attention to the many details surrounding the activities here. John Roth, the faculty fellow, can see a possible solution to an impossible problem every time. He has been a steady source of encouragement and good ideas. Also, many thanks to the Athenaeum Committee, chaired by Dr. Roth.
We will miss the seniors, but I welcome the rest of our readers to attend our opening program of 1988-89. On September 6 and 7, in cooperation with the Center for Politics and Policy (Claremont Graduate School), the Athenaeum plans to host two politicians-the topic will be America 88. I look forward to seeing you on that occasion and, of course, at our final events during April.

Make reservations for yourself (CMC only) and one guest as soon as possible, since this is a sellout event.

Hurricane Sandy left many victims in her wake. However, we are relieved to report that Ivy, a one-year-old service dog, who was badly injured in the aftermath the storm, is expected to survive.
On Wednesday night, Ivy's guardians were unable to go outside to walk her. Without power in their Manhattan apartment building, their elevator was also out of service. They asked their neighbor to take Ivy outside for some exercise.
Unfortunately, Ivy wandered off her leash onto a busy New York street, where she was presumably hit by multiple cars. A local resident found her early Thursday morning, and while she had suffered very severe injuries, she was still alive. Ivy was transported to the ASPCA Animal Hospital in Manhattan to undergo treatment. This brave dog is expected to make a full recovery.
We're so glad we are able to provide Ivy with the crucial care she needed, and just in time. Please help support our ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Update 11/8/12: Ivy is continuing to recover from her injuries until she can return home to her dedicated pet parents. One of Ivy's pet parents is hearing-impaired, and the other is incapacitated due to a knee injury and was unable to walk her during Hurricane Sandy. While Ivy was walking with a neighbor, she escaped from her collar and was hit by a car before being rescued by a good Samaritan and brought to the ASPCA. We are all looking forward to Ivy's speedy recovery.
Is Ivy up for adoption now? She should be a retired service dog after an accident like that.
i agree this sounds like a careless accident she should be retired after an accident like this and given to a nice family.
What the heck? Not one car that hit her stopped to help? What a sad state human kind is in. Glad this girl is going to make it. I can't imagine hitting her and not stop.
I live across the street from the hospital, can I come over and give Ivy some love and attention!!! please :) I would love to see if I might be able to adopt or foster
She should go back to her owners, it wasn't the owners fault that she got hurt. Just because the ASPCA thankfully helped with their dogs injuries doesn't mean that they should adopt her out.
Explain to me HOW a dog wanders off her leash. I think the nieghbor are morons-didn't these morons see her get hit and left her on the street to die-animal abuse in my book! Is anyone going to press charges against them? HELLO ASPCA!!!!!
I am so happy to hear that Ivy is going to fully recover! Should Ivy be placed up for adoption I am very interested in providing her with an amazing home!!!!
Why no one stopped this poor dog or helped her after she got hit. Makes me so angry!! She's a beautiful dog and I hope Ivy is ok and gets a good home. God Bless you.
I would hope that Ivy will not be returned to "guardians" who so carelessly let her be taken outside by someone who obviously didn't care for her welfare. Did they even wonder why she was not brought back to them? And how does a dog wander off a leash??
What happened to the folks that let her off leash? Did they not have the decency to run for her and take care of her, considering they were taking her as a favor to her guardians?! Didn't her guardians care that she never came home that night?! They should all bear some consequences in this situation.

More than three years ago, instead of writing about my own family, I began to write about other families. What I've noticed is how graciously they have been willing to let me into their lives. The end of a year is a good time to revisit some past stories to see what has happened since we met.
In my first column, in September 2009, I spoke to Jeff and Karla Rindskopf about a year after they lost their Yorba Linda home in the 2008 Freeway fire. They had built their dream house 16 years earlier overlooking Chino Hills State Park with a view all the way to the San Bernardino Mountains.
"We love it there," Jeff says. "We always wanted to go back."
We visited the lot that once held their home; it had a stone walkway leading to nowhere. They were among 118 fire victims (including four just on their street) who had been burned out of their homes. My column documented their ordeal with the insurance company: Their agent had assured them they were well-covered, but after the fire, it turned out they were not. They were struggling to establish the value of what they'd lost.
After much legal wrangling, the Rindskopfs settled with their insurance company and rebuilt their home on their original lot. They moved in about two years after the fire.
Their new house is slightly bigger, brand new and beautiful – but not better.
"We lost all our kids' memories. ... I would trade it back in a minute."
Two years ago I wrote about hospice doctor Monica Mehren, who had the notion that a giving circle could spread comfort and cheer ever wider.
In 2004, she and seven members began meeting in Mission Viejo to consider community needs and then help meet them. At quarterly meetings, each participant promises $1 for each day – not quite $100 – and then they democratically decide how to give away each and every cent. Sometimes it's to people whose paths they cross; other times they work through an organization.
That group, Believe in Miracles, is still going strong. It has spawned other clubs in Rancho Santa Margarita and San Clemente. They give gift cards to help pay funeral costs, grocery bills, gas bills and sometimes just give out backpacks or movie tickets.
In 2012 alone, the club gave away about $8,000 and touched 66 lives. Since 2004, this one group has given about $50,000 to help others.
"I am in awe of what we have been able to accomplish," Mehren says.
You can send donations to: Believe in Miracles, 24231 Juaneno Drive, Mission Viejo, CA 92691 or email email@example.com.
Last year I met a group of parents of children with special needs who had joined together out of common concern for their children. The group had started in 2003 to provide a social outlet for their children, who needed structured activities and friends. Gradually, though, the parents began to worry about where their children would live as young adults.
In 2009, Randy Larson, whose adult son has Down syndrome, helped start the nonprofit Glennwood Housing Foundation. These parents decided to create a group home with health care and staff to serve 50 young adults – all through private funding.
In 2010 they purchased a vacant assisted-living facility in Laguna Beach. When I met them, they needed $900,000 to renovate. Now Glennwood has acquired both financing and city approval.
The group broke ground on the renovation in November, Larson reports. Most recently, the Laguna Beach Community Foundation donated $5,000 for landscaping, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation gave $25,000. The group needs about $250,000 more.
Already it has narrowed the applicant pool to 58 from 92 potential residents – and Glennwood could open this spring.

Harsh Chemicals or Natural Products
Historically, the weapon of choice for homeowners and their mold cleanup battles has been bleach. Today, many find vinegar equally effective in mold abatement. Tea tree oil mixed with water is also a handy natural alternative, as is grapefruit seed extract mixed with water. These products are pricey compared to vinegar, but keep in mind that they are only needed in small quantities. Normally, only a teaspoon or two are needed, mixed with 2 cups of water. Lots of people use these inside the home in areas where vinegar may cause damage to the surface they are trying to clean; for instance, marble is a material that can be damaged by vinegar.
Since a garage mold cleanup project may be quite large, economical options here are preferred. Borax is one such cost-effective choice. Borax contains elemental boron which is used in many commercial applications for pest and fungicidal control. Borax can be found in your local supermarket in the laundry section, and a simple water-borax solution can be very effective at mold cleanup.

Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary. The talks will take place upstairs at Baine's Books and Coffee.
The Battle of Brandy Station was the largest cavalry engagement of the Civil War, as well as the largest to take place ever on American soil. It was fought on June 9, 1863, between Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton's Union cavalry and Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's Confederate cavalry. Join Brandon Chamberlain of the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park for this free lunchtime talk.

Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Simply banning horse slaughter ignores the realities of farmers and ranchers. Their horses are NOT pets. When they have outlived their usefulness, they will be sold for slaughter or abandoned. Feed is expensive and will not be wasted on them. What is being done to find homes for these work animals? Banning slaughter in the U.S. has only resulted in long, horrible trips to slaughter houses in Canada/Mexico. The new ban will result in more horses being abandoned, unless there is some plan in place to rescue them. No farmer will spend "only a couple hundred dollars" on euthanasia.
Slaughter is the ultimate violence. Except for dire circumstances slaughter is not necessary for human survival, yet most humans prefer a carnivorous diet. In some places they like horse meat, others eat dog not lamb. In the different cultures of the world, the animal species that are spared varies drastically. While some are doomed to cruel and routine treatment, and inevitabley slaughtered, others are spared, revered or treated as pets.
Small farmers whose care of animals are ususally more personal and humane, at least up to "processing", are being driven out of business by profit gluttons known as the factory farms of big agribusiness where humane practices are abandoned to maximze profit. Thus innocent livestock are doomed to inhumane and painful lives, and agonizing slaughter. Humans are omnivores who thrive on meat free diets. To the extent that we choose not to end or modify our meat dependent lust, for pleasure or for maximum profit, whether as farmers, sellers, or consumers, we contribute to violent slaughter. Ultimately, we too are vulnerable to our mass culture of insensitive violence and slaughter. That we, our children, or neighbors may be slaughtered without cause or compassion by guns or other means, at an increasingly alarming rate, should be no surprise. Ours is a violent culture. As inhumane treatment of farm animal and horses, and their slaughter, is afforded many widely popular justifications and rationalizations, each of us becomes increasingly vulnerable to the insensitive culture we created, its callous mindset, violence, as well as the agony of slaughter's unprovoked doom.
Reversing this carnivorous habit presents a challenge worth pursuing. Where meat is eaten, portions should be minimized with no amount ever wasted. Meat farmers and merchants could migrate to the market for plant based food that would replace it.
Horse slaughter should be outlawed period!!
Unbelievable. Cruel and unusual punishment for a graceful
Animal that has served our country over and over.
Ridiculous. Stop the madness.
Someone commented that it is better to send them to slaughter than to let them starve to death because their owner can no longer afford to keep them. I say you do not understand the true story of what happens to them from start to finish. The horses are slammed together like sardines, with no food or water for days until they arrive at these horric plants already broken from the brutal journey; some already dead, some with broken legs and severe wounds from being crammed together, which is a disastrous way to haul horses (they are not pigs or cattle). They are extremely sensitive, highly strung animals. The ones that arrive dead are the luck ones, becauae hell has just begun for the ones that survived the journey. They will be dragged from the truck, even with broken legs, beaten about the head until their eyes are popping out, until their head splits open, feverishly sweating, shaking all the while until they final drop to the ground; they will then be hung upside down, still alive, and cut open. Anyone that thinks this is a dignified, compassionate way to let a horse die, is a totally sick, sick, individual. By god, we'll be eating our dogs and cats next. Let's not forget humans could not have survived without the horse; they went to war for us and died in their millions, just innocent animals, they ploughed fields for us so that we could eat...so stop this disgusting, barbaric genoside on these wonderful, beautiful animals.
And yes, there is a compassionate way to take a horse's life for those who can no longer afford to keep them. It costs around $100, and it's called "euthanasia"; the only humane way to end a horse's life and, in most cases, this service is provided free from horse rescue organizations. So, sorry, no excuse for sending your beloved friend, who has served you dearly, and done everything you've asked of him/her to send them to a brutal, sadistic, inhumane death.
I used to be a supporter of the ASPCA but now, i'm ashamed! I can see that you are just trying to eliminate agriculture one step at a time! First you start with horses, when will ypu stop! Every farmer and rancher takes excellent care of there livestock including horses! By stopping the slaughter you will bring more hurt then good! Thete is not enough hay, lan or money to take care of the 10 million and counting horses in this country!
How could people be so cruel?
Become vegetarian. More vegetarians=less animal cruelty & killing.
If this will end the cruel and inhumane practice of horse slaughter and the transport of horses in our great nation, then please get it passed as soon as possible. We cannot allow this in America!
Please ban slaughter of all horses.. they are not FOOD.
