It looks like Oksana Grigorieva's team is about to be bolstered with some high-powered legal bite, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Bruised & Battered Oksana
Lisa Bloom, the prominent domestic violence campaigner, spent Tuesday afternoon in the offices of Oksana's current lawyers, Marci Levine and Manley Fried, in Century City, California.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Death Threats
Oksana was at the meeting, which sources confirmed exclusively to RadarOnline.com was held to discuss the Mel Gibson case.
PHOTOS: Mel & Oksana's First Hollywood Appearance
Bloom had no comment on the details of the meeting, but told RadarOnline.com what she thinks about the graphic photos and voicemails that have been released. "All I can tell you based on what I've seen publicly that Oksana has been the victim of domestic violence and I think she's got a very strong case and I think Mel Gibson's in trouble. I've said that publically based on what I've seen in the press in RadarOnline and elsewhere."
Oksana has been looking to strengthen her counsel in recent weeks, even meeting with a firm that specializes in employment law – the Russian musician is signed to Mel's production company Icon.

She also met with high-profile attorney Mark Lane, who specializes in defamation and slander.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants
The latest legal maneuverings follow the release of a graphic photo of Oksana with a deeply bruised eye, taken a day after her January 6 altercation with the disgraced actor.
PHOTOS: Oksana Through The Years
The photographs — which reveal swelling and deep bruises around the 40-year-old left eye — were snapped the morning after Mel allegedly punched her in the face during an argument at his Malibu mansion.
The altercation allegedly left Oksana with two broken teeth and a concussion.
A law enforcement source has confirmed Mel met with investigators form the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Sunday.
But the Lethal Weapon star refused to discuss Oksana's allegations, citing his Fifth Amendment.

In June 2007, the Kingdom Heirs introduced Andy Stringfield as their new pianist.
These days, they introduce him as their new baritone.
No, the multi-talented 29-year-old musician hasn't given up on the 52 white keys and 36 black keys.
He's wearing two hats these days for the ambassadors of Southern gospel music.
cording to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a dream is defined as a visionary creation of the imagination. Every person has a different dream or a hope for a miracle to take place. I have a dream that special needs students will not only be accepted, but valued in society.
The struggles of the first battles are over. The soldiers who fought them are now safely home. They can dream of doing things they once did…but for some, it will only be a dream.
These soldiers have returned scarred and disabled. The next battle, much harder and longer than the first, is just beginning. The disabled soldiers will need the committed love and help of others to endure their struggle.
Those who choose to care for them are angels in our presence. These angels are real. This is one such story. It is true.

Just in time for Veteran's Day, a county employee has been named to two of the top spots in the state when it comes to veterans affairs.
Robin Helms, who was appointed director of the Veterans Affairs Office in Lancaster in 2010, took office as president of the S.C. Association of County Veterans Affairs Officers on July 1 of this year, a position she will hold until June of 2016. She was also appointed to serve on the S.C. Veterans Trust Fund board in June of this year.
Editor's note: We are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the Nov. 8, 2008, edition of The Lancaster News, at the request of our readers.
At one time, the significance of Nov. 11 – Veterans Day – wasn't lost on anyone.
Of course, World War I ended years before I was born, but Uncle Harry made sure I was well-schooled on what he called the War to End All Wars.
There was a bunch of World War I soldiers around, too.

GREAT FALLS – For the first time in his life, Henry "Bubba" Stevenson Jr. can offer a handshake. But it's not your everyday handshake – it's bionic.
Stevenson, 23, was fitted with a "1-limb ultra bionic arm" on Sept. 22.
Stevenson was born without arms. On his right side, his arm stops shy of his elbow and on his left side, there is only a nub below his shoulder.
The fourth annual National Missions Day will be at the Lancaster Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 4.
There is still time to register for free tent space and be a part of this large community outreach event.
Founded by apostle Ollie Alexander, ambassador for international missions, the idea of the event is to not only reach out to the community, but foster and encourage a sense of unity between different churches, outreaches and ministries that participate.

Tucked away in the new subdivision College Place, John and Audrey Hadvab found just the right setting for their home seven years ago. As their home evolved so did their yard.
Working with a landscape designer, they developed a plan filled with low maintenance shrubs and trees. Even after seven years of growth the shrubs, along with perennials they have added, through the years still create a beautiful look.
Today I am going to include four card exercises for men and women, because at some point in our training we all fall short of understanding how important it is.
Most reasons are the same, universal excuses we all use.
I hear you saying it now – "I don't have the time" and the famous line – "It is so boring to walk on a tread mill. I hate it."
When counting blessings, it's easy to take for granted the five senses – taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing – if you've never been without one of them. Lancaster resident Tara Steele is counting having restored hearing in her left ear as a huge blessing, thanks to a surgery performed back in May.
A staple side dish at my summer cookouts is baked beans. I have a traditional recipe that my family loves, but lately I've been trying to switch things up a bit. I think these baked bean recipes may be just what I'm looking for.
Every parent knows, it can be hard to please the taste buds of everyone at the table. But, it seems like Cindy Ferguson does just that with her Spicy Apple Baked Beans.
Drivers on Craig Farm Road in Lancaster County may have gotten a bit distracted on Saturday, July 12, by the row of shiny Mercedes-Benz automobiles parked neatly in front of Kilburnie, the Inn at Craig Farm.
The Haires built their home in 1970. Many of the original boxwoods and hollies kept neatly trimmed continue to thrive in the yard – a direct result of Judy's green thumb.
"Growing plants has always been easy for me," Judy said. "Many times I have just stuck a small cutting from a plant in the ground and it really takes off."

I just heard an interview with Sam Harris on KPFK, a Pacifica station in Los Angeles. After this I also read Sam Harris' opinion piece in the Washington Times.
In the interview, Mr Harris implies that there are no non-Islamic suicide bombers. This is not true. What about the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka? What about Japanese Kamikaze pilots?
Suicide bombing is a nebulous term. As it is used in most recent history, it unifies the willingess to die for a cause with the willingness to kill innocent people. However, there are suicide bombers who attack military targets (to wit, the recent attack on the barracks in Mosul), and there are those who attack civilians without committing suicide themselves (U.S. soliders in My Lai, for example). So perhaps we should separate these two characteristics of suicide bombing, and talk instead about (1) willingess to die for a cause, and (2) willingess to target non-combatants in a conflict.
On another matter, in his opinion piece for the Washington Times, Sam Harris claims:
"Iraqi insurgents know that we did not come to their country to rape their women or to kill innocent civilians. Every thinking person in the Muslim world understands that if our goal had been to kill Iraqis and steal their oil, millions of Iraqis would now be dead and their oil would be flowing."
This is a straw man. Very few people believe that the U.S. is there for the sheer joy of killing people. It's just that we don't really care that much if thousands or millions (e.g. Vietnam) of civilians get killed as long as our geopolitical objectives are furthered. Anyone who disputes that we are in Iraq to control oil resources need look no farther than "Rebuilding America's Defences," a paper put out by the Project for a New American Century, a think tank whose members are present at various levels in the current administration. Thinking Muslims understand that the goal is not to steal oil, but to have U.S. bases in the heart of the Persian Gulf, to control its oil resources and maintain U.S. dominance over its future economic competitors like the EU, Japan and China. The goals of maintaining U.S. dominance are explicitly spelled out in the U.S. "National Security Strategy" document, and also in the thinking of officials from past U.S. administrations (e.g. Zbigniew Brzezinski, and George Kennan).
Furthermore, even if we accept Mr Harris' thesis that there is something special about Islam that makes it more amenable to producing suicide bombers, and killing off people of other religions, we are left with the fact that, absent Western (neo-)colonialism and interference in the middle east, there was no suicide bombing. This means that suicide bombing requires both the putative tendency of Islamic faith to support it, plus some legitimate grievance. This means that Harris' theory does not let us off the hook regarding our actions in the middle east.
Also, if there is something intrinsically violent about Islam that causes it to kill non-Islamic people, how can we explain the periods of history in which Jews lived relatively unmolested in Islamic lands while they were being persecuted, killed and exiled from Western nations like Spain and Portugal?

Cat Prostatic Tumor
Cat Prostatic Tumor
Prostatic neoplasias are cancerous tumors of the prostate gland. There has never been a prostate tumor that has been benign. For this reason, all tumors of the prostate are considered to be malignant. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of malignant prostate tumor. On occasion the tumor will be a transitional cell.
This is an aggressive form of Cat Cancer and metastasizes quickly. The lymph nodes in the back of the pelvis in the lower lumbar area, the lungs and liver are also areas that are frequently involved. The prognosis is always poor.
Although the rate of prostate disease is rare in cats, it is always bad. It can affect any breed of cat but is primarily a disease of senior cats. Neutered and non-neutered cats are equally likely to have Cat Prostate Cancer.
Signs and Symptoms
Some of the first things you may notice in your cat are blood in the urine or your cat straining to defecate or urinate. There can be a discharge from the penis, accompanied by discomfort in the abdomen. Cat Constipation and weakness in the back legs as well as Cat Loss of Weight may also be evident. Cat Loss of Appetite, fatigue and Cat Lethargy behavior as well as Cat Fever are all possible.
• Your veterinarian will need to have an accurate history as to the progress of symptoms
• A digital exam of the rectum will be done
• Blood tests including blood count and chemical profile will be done
• Urinalysis
• Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid
• A culture of the prostate
• X-rays of the abdomen and an ultrasound will be done
• Chest X-rays are also helpful
Treatment Options
With a prognosis that is not good in any instance, the decision as to what type to use won't change the fact that the life of your cat is greatly diminished. Treatment will vary depending on the type of cancer involved. The basic goal of any treatment for prostatic cancer is to keep your cat comfortable during its final days. Adenocarcinoma is the least responsive to treatment. Transitional cell cancers usually have metastasized from the bladder or urethra. In either case, the treatment options are limited.
Cat Radiation Therapy is used if there is no evidence of metastasis. While radiation will not cure the cancer, it will help to improve the comfort of your cat. By reducing the size of the tumor, your cat may become more comfortable.
Cat Cancer Chemotherapy is also used to decrease the size of the tumor and the associated inflammation. Cats with adenocarcinoma do not respond positively to chemotherapy alone.
Surgery is a last resort. Performing a prostatectomy is a difficult procedure and is rarely recommended. Complications from this type of surgery are common and it rarely prolongs the life of the cat.
Home Care
The primary goal is to keep your cat as comfortable as possible. Consultation with your veterinarian and the administration of prescribed medication will help to keep your cat comfortable. There are some medications that can cause vomiting and/or Cat Diarrhea. In the event that this occurs, you will need to consult with your veterinarian.

Best Uses
We picked this flooring for the price, but it looks beautiful once it's all down. We have had so many compliments and will be finishing our house with this. It is really easy to clean and we've even been able to get permanent marker off of it without damaging the flooring. Get it! you'll love it!
Best Uses
this floor was really easy to work with however the self adhesive failed.We had to glue it down .It really is a pretty floor. I hope they can improve the self adhesive in the future.
Best Uses
Love this stuff. We put it down throughout a basement and people always think it's actual hardwood or laminate hardwood. It's actually better looking than the hardwood laminate we installed upstairs.
Best Uses
We used this product in our family, kitchen, nook and dining rooms. Hallway as well.
We laid it on top of cement. We took up carpet/padding/tack strips/filled holes/scraped/ swept/degreased floor/clean water then wiped it down with towels and let it dry for 30 min.
We then started laying the vinyl and everything stuck really well to the cement. Wish the width was a little more on the pieces but it looks gorgeous. I was really easy. It is very time consuming but the more we did it the faster we got.
Small complaint: the paper on the back that peels off gets stuck sometimes and that is a little irritating. I did find that if you can stand the tempature a little higher like 70°-75° then the backing comes off a little easier.
** Helpful hint on cement
Let the vinyl sit a few hours with the prepped floor the same temp @ 75°. Keep it that temp the whole laying time. Then once finished make it cooler in the room and you will have a tight fit!!
Best Uses
The tiles were easy to put down. The glue made my hands sticky, but WD40 was able to get it off.
Best Uses
I am prepping a double-wide house for resale. This product is a great value. It is low priced, looks great and I installed it myself. I have installed other peel & stick flooring, but this is the best looking floor of that type I have used. Most people cannot tell if it is laminate or vinyl. I had a couple boxes where the glue was applied to the sides of the planks which made handling the pieces very frustrating and I had to clean the glop off of each piece. But the other 21 boxes were fine. Like others, I spent more time removing the backing paper than putting the floor down !!
Best Uses
I used this item on my kitchen walls, under my cabinets. Product has adhesive on the back but it is not strong enough to stay stuck on the walls. Had to use GOOP on each panel to make it stick without falling off a few hours after applying to the walls.
Best Uses
I purchased this for my spa and 4 years later it still looks fabulous. It's so easy to clean and I never have to worry if a large amount of water spills. As a matter of fact, we have a major rain storm and the window blew open. I have no idea how long the rain was coming into the room. There was large puddles of water just sitting on top of the floor. I got a bunch of towels, absorbed all the water and the floor is still looking gorgeous. We did use extra glue due to the nature of our work and how often the floor gets washed. People cannot believe is not only NOT real wood, but also I only paid .79 per SF. You can't go wrong with this product.
Best Uses
We used this in our basement laundrey room. We put it directly on the concrete. Stuck well and looked fantastic when finished, however, be prepared to get very sticky when installing it. Cuts well. We used a paper cutter and a scissor. The only issued we had was with the paper backing. It just didn't want to come off easy, tore alot (hence the sticky hands). I would recommend this product and would probably use it again. It's a great fix when you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Best Uses
I used this to replace some carpeting in the living room area of my home. Total installation time took approximately 4-5 hours. However, that is including removal of the previous carpet and padding and vacuuming. The finished floor looks great!! I can't wait to do the rest of my home.

Q:I am looking into purchasing this product. In order to install it, do I need to remove the baseboard? Can it go right up against the wall or does it need to be spaced out a bit, like laminate? Our baseboard kind of has like a second thin trim at the bottom, so I think it hits the floor more than just a typical baseboard does. Also, how well does this hold up with pets and children? Lastly, how well will it do around a fireplace? Will it start to come up?

What Kind of European Union?
Dean of Britain's military historians, Sir Michael Howard was formerly Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University and Robert Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University, from which he retired in 1993. His numerous publications include The Franco-Prussian War (1961), The Continental Commitment (1972), War and the Liberal Conscience (1978), The Causes of Wars (1983), Strategic Deception in the Second World War (1995), and The Lessons of History (1991). Most recently, he coedited The Oxford History of the Twentieth Century (1998).
Sir Michael was born in London and educated at Oxford. He served with the British Army in Italy during World War II; twice wounded, he was awarded the Military Cross. He taught at King's College, University in London, before moving to All Souls College, Oxford, in 1968. Sir Michael is president and founder of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (London), which soon became one of the world's leading organization of its kind. He is a fellow of the British Academy and a Foreign Corresponding Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among his honors are the NATO Atlantic Award and the Paul Nitze Award (U.S. Center for Naval Analyses).
In his scholarship and teaching, Sir Michael Howard has specialized in modern European history. Above all, he has illustrated the wide compass of military affairs-from single battles to grand strategy, from plans to politics, from weapons to ideals and ideology, from immediate decisions to long periods of social and cultural development. In an age when political scientists and economists dominate think tanks, Sir Michael reminds us all that history is full of precedents, warnings and guidelines, that strategic theory always needs grounding in the past.
Sir Michael is the third guest invited by the CMC history department to inaugurate the William F. Podlich Distinguished Visitors Program, endowed by CMC alumnus and trustee William Podlich'66.

In Search of Lindbergh
Scott Berg is one of America's leading biographers. Raised in Los Angeles, Berg graduated cum laude from Princeton University where he majored in English. His senior thesis on Maxwell Perkins, the legendary editor who tutored such famous writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, won him the Charles William Kennedy Prize. Berg spent the next nine years expanding his thesis into Max Perkins: Editor of Genius (1978). The book became a national bestseller and won the National Book Award, catapulting Berg to national prominence as an accomplished writer.
After being approached by his family and with the assistance of the Guggenheim Fellowship, Berg spent the next eight and a half years researching the life of Samuel Goldwyn, which eventually culminated in Goldwyn: A Biography, published in 1989. The book became a bestseller not only did it detail the life of one of America's leading movie moguls, but it also extensively examined the American movie industry from its origin to the present. The book has also been published in Japanese, Spanish, French, and Italian editions.
Berg has lectured extensively across the United States and Great Britain. He is a member of the Author's Guild, the Writer's Guild of America, PEN Center USA West, and the Century Association. His lecture at the Athenaeum will focus on his new biography on Charles Lindberg. Berg was granted unfettered access to the Lindberg family's archives and was able to painstakingly examine the life of one of America's great 20th century icons. You are welcome to join us as we hear this renowned biographer speak about one of this country's most famous adventurers.
Ethnicity and Variability of Responses to Psychotropic Drugs
The past decade medical research has consistently shown that members of some ethnocultural groups were receiving inappropriate doses of psychotropic medicines. Further studies suggest striking interindividual and cross-ethnic differences in the response to psychotropics. Fundamental pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic processes seem to be implicated, which explains the clinical observation of differences in doses required, side effects profiles, toxic reactions, etc. Dr. Lin's research contributions are at the heart of the young field of pharmacogenetics and its exciting developments.
Our guest speaker notes that until the last few years "suggestions regarding possible cross-cultural/cross-ethnic differences in psychotropic responses were typically brushed aside as either unlikely or unimportant. Consequently, remarkable recent progress notwithstanding, much remains unknown regarding the influence of ethnic and cultural factors on the practice of modern psychopharmacology."
In 1974 Lin came to the United States from his homeland Taiwan. He completed residency training in psychiatry and earned his M.P.H. degree at Washington University, Seattle. Upon completion of his psychiatric residency, he was selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar. Today, Lin is professor of psychiatry at UCLA and founder/director of the NIH Research Center on the Psychobiology of Ethnicity at Torrance. He is an internationally recognized authority in pharmacogenetics and cross-cultural psychiatry. This lecture is part of the Brain, Mind, and Medicine: Cross-Cultural Perspectives Program sponsored by CMC, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer Colleges.
The American Epic: Who is Singing My Song?

She has also published two collections of short stories, Darkness (1985) and The Middleman and Other Stories (1988), for which she won The National Book Critics' Circle Award for Best Fiction.
Mukherjee's other honors and grants include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a Canada Council Senior Arts Fellowship.
Born in Calcutta, Mukherjee attended the University of Baroda in India where she studied English and ancient Indian culture. She earned a master of fine arts and a doctorate in English and comparative literature from the University of Iowa. She has taught creative writing at Columbia, New York University, and Queens College. She now holds a distinguished professorship at the University of California, Berkeley.
Mukherjee is the first of three authors in the Athenaeum series on the American Epic, featuring works of large historical scope that attempt to discover who we are and where we are going.

New Bridge Organic Market is now offering a variety of naturally made foods and household products to a new crop of health conscious residents in the eastern part of
After celebrating their one-year anniversary of business in downtown Jacksonville last fall, owners Dale and Elizabeth Altman recently opened the doors of the market's second location at 208 Main St. in Swansboro. Although the new store is smaller in size,
"Everything in here is either natural or organic; we try to get as organic as possible,"
Fashioned after the style and convenience of tiny
"We hadn't even thought about opening another location, but it was a good deal that came our way so we'll be here for a while,"
Like the
"I've probably put 35,000 miles on my vehicle going around to see if someone is growing vegetables, and I will stop and talk to them," Dale said. "I go once a week to pick up our milk, which is 150 miles one way. With products like milk, we don't make a lot of money on that, but it's what the people want."
Meats in stock include lamb, goat, rabbit, beef, pork and the store will soon carry local chicken..
"We have ostrich meat, buffalo meat, and whatever customers want we try to get it for them," he said. "At both locations, we offer discounts if they buy in bulk. We have a lot of customers now who are into juicing, so they can order whole cases and get discounts for buying that amount."
Swansboro resident Lisa Roska and her family recently became the newest customers to frequent the store, seeking an alternative to driving long distances for healthier choices.
"I try to find as healthy food options and I can, but it's incredibly limited in this area," Roska said. "I'm involved in three different food co-ops that we buy in bulk and split the food between us, but it is very difficult so I usually go to
The market attracts a diverse crowd each day, from long term organic consumers to newcomers hoping to change their lifestyle and eating habits.
"Just from listening to folks' conversations, you can tell that there's a need for this type of store," Dale said. "You have younger couples from other areas that are used to this type of food, and then you have older people who are getting wiser because their doctors are telling them to change their eating habits and they're looking for pesticide free alternatives."
As the market expands, customers like Roska affirm that they will continue to shop and spread the word to other residents.
"Even though it's small right now, it's going to get bigger. I tell everyone about it now," Roska said. "They're a huge population of people out here who like to eat this way and there's nothing to service those people. My kids love it too — it's like going to the candy store for them."
New Bridge Organic Market in Swansboro is open from to Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 910-325-0737 or visit newbridgeorganicmarket.com.

HOUSTON -- The mother of the 14-year-old girl who was killed in Monday s fatal accident on the 610 East Loop says her daughter had recently run away.
Skyla Nuncio and her boyfriend, 14-year-old Justin Henry, took off last Thursday. Nuncio was a ninth grader at Cy-Fair High School and Henry was an eighth grader at Campbell Middle School.
Both were reported as runaways late last week with the Harris County Constables Precinct 4 Office.
Around 2:45, I was notified that he was suspended from school, said Nuncio's mother, Monica Vickous. Three o'clock I got a call from my mother telling me that my daughter did not get off the school bus and I instantly knew.
Henry and Nuncio died when they crashed a car after exiting the 610 East Loop at Clinton Drive Monday evening.
Pasadena police say the Chevy Impala they were in was recently stolen from the driveway of a home in Cy-Fair. The car was not involved in a violent carjacking as previously reported by Pasadena police.
An officer tried to pull over the stolen Chevy Impala after he spotted it driving the wrong way on a one-way street in Pasadena Monday afternoon.
Henry was driving and took off on Highway 225 into the City of Houston.
Police said the officer backed off the stolen vehicle because it was driving erratically as it came over the 610 bridge. Officials said the car came off the bridge and took the Clinton Road exit off of the East Loop northbound.
As the vehicle travelled over the 610 bridge, the officer made the determination that the vehicle was driving too erratic and too unsafe, said Pasadena police Lt. James Holt. He decided to back off. He stated his intentions on the radio. Shortly after, the vehicle exited the freeway and struck the barrier.
Nuncio was killed when she was ejected from the car. Henry was also pronounced dead at the scene. Neither was wearing a seatbelt.
Vickous says her daughter's boyfriend was a troublemaker, but Nuncio fell for him and really wanted to make his life better.
She wanted him to feel loved and she gave every ounce of love that she had to that young boy, she said.
Nuncio's mother will never forget the moment that the medical examiner made a positive identification.
She asked if Skyla was wearing unique shoes and I said yes, recalled Vickous. They were brown with fuzzy around it. I knew. For her to ask that specific question, I knew.

In your Tapestry 5 applications, are you missing the standard error-page/exception-type configuration option specified by the servlet spec? For some rarely occurring exceptions, it's simpler to just catch them at the outermost layer of your application rather than carry a typed exception through multiple layers of abstractions just so you could show a sensible error message to the user, especially if you can't do anything more clever about it anyway. Unfortunately Tapestry wraps up all of your exceptions inside a ComponentEventException making the error-page/exception-type configuration in your web.xml useless. The default Tapestry 5 exception page is great for development but typically, you don't want to show that in production.
The servlet spec, as always, is rather restrictive in regards to error-page configuration. If your email service or an external payment service goes down, you can't do much more than display an error message to the user, so why would you need to implement separate pages for each exception? Often, it'd be nicer if you could just reuse the page template for any fatal exception and simply display a different error message. Tapestry-exceptionpage allows you to contribute handlers for specific types of exceptions and provide context for rendering the error page for that specific exception.
To use the feature, you need to add the following dependency to your pom.xml:
You can contribute an error page, mapping it to an exception type:
If a simple exception type to page mapping doesn't do it for you, you can also contribute a custom handler for that particular exception type. An ExceptionHandlerAssistant can contain arbitrarily complex logic for handling a specific exception type and use other Tapestry services. If ExceptionHandlerAssistant.handleRequestException(Throwable exception, List<Object> exceptionContext) returns an Object representing an URL the main handler will issue a redirect to that URL. It's valid to return either a String, a Link or a Class; the last case implies a page class. If the ExceptionHandlerAssistant returns null, it's assumed that the assistant has independently handled the exception. You can either contribute an instance of an ExceptionHandlerAssistant or a class that implements ExceptionHandlerAssistant. Below, we contribute an instance handling ServiceExceptions:
You can also specify context for the exception page. For generic exceptions, the context is taken from the exception class name minus the word "Exception" in case that's how the class name ends. For example, you have a following class:
If an SmtpNotRespondingException is thrown during an action request, user is directed to ServiceFailure page with a String context smtpnotresponding (i.e. to URL /servicefailure/smtpnotresponding). Tapestry-exceptionpage works both for regular action requests and ajax action requests. In the latter case, the module will use Javascript to redirect to the error page. If the exception thrown wasn't an explicitly specified exception type (i.e. a contributed type), handling is delegated back to the default Tapestry exception handler.
If your custom-handled exception implements the interface ContextAwareException you can fully specify the context for the error page. For example, you could implement a following Exception class:
This exception handling mechanism can easily be overused. Typically, if you can handle the exception locally, you should. Likewise, you shouldn't blindly wrap any checked exceptions inside runtime exceptions just to avoid writing try-catch blocks in higher layers. The exceptionpage module is best used for handling serious but rarely occurring exceptions happening in the action request cycle that you cannot otherwise cope with.

The ASPCA is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case of four newborn kittens found with their throats slashed. An additional $1,200 is being offered by the Suffolk County SPCA, the local animal-protection agency leading the investigation.
According to Suffolk County SPCA reports, the bodies of the four kittens—estimated to be three weeks old—were discovered on October 1 in the parking area of a business in Riverhead, New York.
"This is a truly sickening case of violent, heartless abuse," says Stacy Wolf, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "We hope the reward offer sends a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society. We thank the Suffolk County SPCA for its commitment to finding justice for these four innocent kittens."
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Please be vigilant in your community and report suspected animal abuse. Visit our Fight Cruelty section to learn which agencies are responsible for investigating and enforcing anti-cruelty laws in your area.

Stories like this just break my heart, and at the same time they make me want t scream. And if i read these right before school, everyone o my bus and in any of my classes get to hear me fume about it for the rest of the day. 6 years jail and then 5 on probation. thats what i think. maybe even more!
I agree 100% as well. This was truly an act of cruelty and the person or persons responsible need to be punished to the extent of the law. Usually victims are caught because they have to brag on what they have done. So hopefully with the reward being offered someone will come forward with information if they do hear anything.
Absolutely, Matt. I totally agree. It's sad, but all too often true.
Your gonna have a serial killer on your hands if not already!!
Makes me sick!!
I have to not only agree, but what if he has already done so.. Hurting any animal is cruel.
I wish all at ASPCA and all animal lovers across our planet, The very best and wish each the best that life has to offer...

Baseball Falls 5-4 in 11 at UNCP; Smith Racks Up Five Hits in Six At-Bats
March 30, 2011
PEMBROKE, N.C. Despite a 5-for-6 night at the plate by Tyler Smith, Pfeiffer University suffered its 12th-straight loss in heartbreaking fashion as host UNC-Pembroke scored a 5-4, 11-inning win over the Falcons on Wednesday night. A two-out walk kept the inning alive for a Kenny Mickens walk-off double. The #12 Braves improve to 26-6 overall while the Falcons dip to 13-24.
In the 11th, Alex Pearce drew the two-out walk to keep the inning alive and moved to second on a wild pitch. After an intentional walk to Jason Coker to set up a possible force, Mickens came up with his two-bagger to right-center for the game-winner. In the top half of the frame, Pfeiffer had runners at the corners with one out until Jesse Dunn hit into a 5-4-3 double play to retire the side.
Trailing 3-0 through five, Pfeiffer got on the board in the top of the sixth as Eric Shoemaker scored from third on a UNCP throwing error. Shoemaker started the frame with a single to right. The Falcons took a 4-3 lead an inning later with Matt Wade starting the rally with an RBI-single down the right field line. Shoemaker later scored Wade with a groundout to short while Smith, who reached on one of his five hits on the night, scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. UNCP would tie it and force extra baseball with a Coker solo home run to lead off the eighth.
Behind Smith, Shoemaker and Aarin Sharpe each had a pair of hits for the Falcons. Jacob Moore tossed six innings in relief on Tuesday allowing two runs on six hits with six strikeouts in a no-decision. Pfeiffer out-hit the Braves 13-11.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Saturday and Sunday playing their final conference series at home for 2011. St. Andrews will come to town for a three-game set beginning with a 12:00 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.

Yes, the Border Collie breed does shed. They are considered a 4/5 on the shedding scale. They would need to be brushed twice to three times a week to keep shedding at bay.5/29/2015 9:23:19 AM

First off - NEVER hit your dog. He is a puppy and he has no idea what hitting means. Period. Secondly, you got your Border Collie way too young. Puppies should not be without their mothers until they are at least 8 weeks old. So you got your puppy right at weaning time, which means he never learned bite inhibition from his/her siblings and mother, and he never learned how to be a dog by watching his mother. For the biting and chewing, you need to get him some fun chews to play with. Antler's, nylabones, and raw-frozen beef bones are the best. Set your puppy up for success, do not allow him to be unsupervised, he needs to be on a leash attached to you at all times in the house unless he is in a crate or in a part of the house that he is blocked off from.12/30/2014 7:20:13 PM
As for the potty training you have to use positive reinforcement training methods. Do not yell at your Border Collie, he has no idea and your tone of voice is telling him that it is bad to use the puppy pads, because THAT'S when you are yelling at him. If he makes a mess in the house, use an enzyme cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. This will clean the soiled area and take away the scent on the puppy's level. With normal household cleaner's, he can still smell his pee/poop. Now, have a timer go off every 2 hours during the day and take him outside or to the pad to use the toilet. Praise him and give him treats when he does. He shouldn't have accidents now if he is blocked off in his own space, in a crate or attached to you all day.12/30/2014 7:20:27 PM
I disagree. swatting your puppy is healthy as long as the punishment is appropriate for their size and age. Even the Mother snaps and nips at the pups. Always associate a word with the punishment so they can learn its result is bad! Biting is a stage yes you got it early, but encourage chewing on hard chew bones and punish for things not chewable. Remember puppies are like little children, they only learn what you teach them or they will teach themselves bad habits
I disagree about swatting and shock collars. As long as you are training and not beating/torturing the dogs they are effective training methods to show certain actions aren't acceptable. As you said, the other person said biting is a stage all puppies go through and without brothers and sisters biting her back she won't realize when playing is overdoing it. A small swat on the nose (not hard) or sticking your finger that she's biting slowly to the back of her throat will cause her to gag and they will get the picture that it's not fun or enjoyable to chew fingers. Border Collies are extremely intelligent...for dogs. Potty training can take up to 4-6 months to be consistent and there could be occasional accidents after that. Again they are intelligent so if you leave them in the house all day. Imagine leaving a six year old by themselves all day without television, you're going to come home to a mess and when you are there they will act out to get attention.1/31/2015 5:34:50 PM
Would you swat your child for teething? No you'd give the baby a toy to chew on. Same thing for a puppy.3/25/2015 6:33:07 AM
You do not have to hit the dog to get him or her to understand what the proper behavior is. especially a Border Collie. I am on my second dog and a more obedient,responsive dog would be hard to find. If you hit, you are just displaying your lack of control.5/15/2015 9:17:47 PM

The white gene in the border collie causes deafness. If the puppies are hearing tested, then that's good. But they can still go deaf later on in their lives. It is a risk.5/2/2014 3:08:30 PM
There is a test called the BAER test (brain stem auditory evoked response) which will test the pup's hearing. 7/12/2014 10:25:14 AM
A breeder who would breed a deaf dog is not responsible. You should steer clear of that puppy and especially that dog breeder.5/22/2015 2:26:38 PM

Your Border Collie will be worth more is she has some kind of verification that she is purebred - for instance, registration with the AKC. Because she is not a puppy, she is no longer worth a breeder's price. This does not mean you should advertise her as free to good home. Free to good home advertisements usually bring out dog fighters and abusers. If you are looking for a new home for your dog, you may want to give her to a no - kill rescue group. Otherwise, you can list her on the classified advertisements for a reasonable adoption fee (about $50-100). Be sure you know she is going to a good home. If you know a friend or relative who may want a dog, suggest your dog to them.9/26/2013 3:17:12 PM
I have a 2 yr old Border Collie and she is for sale I cant get her online though she is NOT trained but she has had one litter it was a secret litter though :-(. She is a great watch dog though she does have a little training in herding, but other than that just her name, Sweetheart. She barks every time anyone drives up the driveway. If you want another dog most of the time a dog will bark at something if another dog is barking at it first email me if your interested in her: email@example.com Hope It Helps, -G1/31/2014 1:17:38 PM
Dog's, unlike wolves or other canine's do not have a 'season' for breeding. An intact female dog will come into heat an average of every 6 months. But unless your dog is of impeccable breeding and has passed all health and temperament tests; and has titles, spaying your dog is the best thing to do for your dog and your bank account.7/9/2014 9:22:30 PM
The best thing to do is to have the dog tethered to you or crated when he is in the house. When he needs to go out, go out WITH him and make sure he uses the bathroom. If he hasn't, do not bring him back in. If he is out for 30 minutes, then bring him back in and either tether him to you or crate him. When he starts to sniff or asks to go back out, take him out and stay with him unless he uses the bathroom. Praise lavishly when he uses the bathroom outside. Use an enzyme cleaner such as 'Nature's Miracle' to clean up all of his messes and where he has messed in the past.7/9/2014 9:25:27 PM

A lot of dog breeds can do fine with heavey-handed training but some better that others. Really that would not be my choice of training for any dog breed.1/26/2013 2:22:36 PM
An average Border Collie newborn weighs 16-18 oz6/4/2013 10:23:37 AM
Are you giving her any treats? If so are they rawhide, or made of hoofs? A lot of times they will eat something that won't digest and will vomit to get rid of it. We have horses and when the horses get their hooves trimmed the dogs love to eat the "trimmings". I can count on cleaning up vomit later on after they eat it. Its because they can't digest it. Rawhide chews are very dangerous and not digestible as well.11/19/2012 3:39:16 PM

Roughly about 10-14 years has been the average. Some slightly longer.11/19/2012 3:39:57 PM
They can live up to 9-17 years for age12/5/2012 3:11:00 PM
12-15 yrs.
Mostly 12-15 years, I have heard of a Collie that lived to be 19.4/10/2015 8:08:25 PM
Absolutely not! You will destroy the puppy's skeleton if you run him or her too young. Light running on grass is okay at 3-4 months, but actually jogging on the road for 2+ miles needs to wait until he or she is at least 11 months old.10/11/2012 12:21:50 AM
Border Collies are very fast and active dogs.Take a walk not a run. When he or she is 5 months old start running.11/11/2012 10:25:26 AM
I would never take a puppy out running at that age! Their bones aren't fully developed at that time. It would be like running with your toddler! The best time would be at least 1 to 1-1/2 years. Just use common sense, if you wouldn't run with a baby, you shouldn't run with a puppy!11/19/2012 3:41:47 PM
you need to have this checked by a vet10/17/2012 4:14:49 PM
No this is not normal and should be checked out by a vet!11/19/2012 3:42:35 PM
He won't do those things if you give him enough exercise, daily walks and ball retrieving, frisbee, games to keep his brain occupied. He needs plenty of exercise EVERY day of the week. Don't expect him to fulfill his exercise needs by being left roam free. They are usually good at staying near the house once they receive enough exercise and attention from their owners. They're very loyal so not likely to wander off on their own unless bored. They're also very sensitive to any kind of punishment.8/23/2012 11:16:25 AM
I live up in the mountians, and have always had border collies. If you get two Border Collies, the chances of them running away are higher. But we have always let our border collies run free, and have only had a problem when we had two at one time. I dont think that you will have any problem with it running free, and it will satisfy their exercise needs, although they would be much happier playing fetch or finding something to chase. We have never had a problem with digging or destructive Border Collies. They are very trainable and smart, so if you ever did have a problem, it could be easily corrected.8/23/2012 2:38:28 PM
border collies are great dogs and we have never had a problem with run aways. they might start wandering around if they get bored but its very easy to call them back10/17/2012 4:07:42 PM
Number one, I would never allow any dog to run free especially in the mountains. Coyotes love to rat pack dogs and lead them off to be killed.
Number two: If you are worried about your hardwood floors, I would suggest put a barrier up of some kind to cordon off the parts of your house that you don't want the dog to go. You can also train them not to go in certain areas as well.11/19/2012 3:45:28 PM
They do bite the water and my Collie is 7 human years old and still does it.9/19/2012 6:08:17 PM
Yes all dogs will if sprayed in the face or if they are looking for their ball or stick.11/19/2012 3:46:12 PM
No they really don't8/2/2012 7:02:40 PM
Border Collie's don't shed much but they do shed.11/11/2012 10:27:48 AM
It depends on the length of the border collie's coat how bad it will be, but yes they do shed like all dogs.11/19/2012 3:47:02 PM

My puppy had an almost entirely pink nose with a couple of brown dots. She is now three and there is a lot more brown on it although it is still mostly pink.8/7/2012 6:30:41 AM

My bc needs a run every day for atleast an hour.4/23/2012 4:50:09 PM
My BC needs 1-1.5 h a day. Additionaly 2-3 times /week he loves to go jogging for 40-55min. When he was a puppy he could not get enough exercise and it was very exhausting for my family and me. Since than I lost 12 kg during 5 years. 5/22/2012 2:20:52 PM
A good walk or run around the block would be sufficient enough, border collie's love attention so just walking them anywhere at least once a day if you have the time goes a long way6/20/2012 5:38:56 PM
Border Collies need a lot of physical stimulation also mental. They love to run, and can excel at agility, flyball, and other sports.8/8/2012 8:28:20 PM
Quite simply, NO. You must exercise your border collie EVERY day. Why do you think 5 days a week is enough? He needs to be walked or play games 7 days a week.
I have 2 female border collies 5 yr and 2yr sometimes they do not get along would adding a male help keep the girls in line?4/10/2012 4:04:45 PM
It sounds like a hormone issue...PMS..does it happen about every six months with each one? Adding a male, unless you want to breed and they aren't spayed, won't solve your problem...just separate them if it gets too violent. I will only last a few days.
adding a male would be the worst thing you can do. what you need to do is punish them when they do fight and walk them more10/17/2012 4:10:15 PM
Totally! They are always very busy as well.5/28/2012 7:24:51 PM
I have an Australian Shepherd and they kinda look the same5/30/2012 1:28:00 PM
It's hard to tell by the description, but she sounds like a Border Collie or a Australian Shepherd! It is likely she could just be a mix of many breeds or a couple breeds. You can also tell by it's character traits sometimes. Maybe you could do reseach on the Australian Shepherd and the Border Collie, and whatever is personallity fits her most might give you a clue. Your vet might be able to tell you what breed or mix she is to!6/1/2012 12:07:09 PM
Sounds like my border collie-healer mix but mine is very thin with short hair due to some whippet she has in her.7/13/2012 11:42:13 PM
Most dogs have a average lifespan of 14 years. You are taking a big risk by not getting your dog vaccinated. If you can't afford the vaccinations, then you should rehome the dog to someone who can take care of him properly.4/12/2012 2:29:02 PM
My last border collie lived to be 15. if they're healthy they have very long life expectancy. I wouldn't skimp on vaccinations. Sometimes vets will have discounted or free vaccinations days. Call around. 4/20/2012 10:32:28 AM
Vet care is so important - try to find away to afford it. Have a yard sale anything you can think of - they are apart of your family and need to be properly cared for. 5/28/2012 7:27:51 PM
yes...that is very typical...border collies can have a lot of variation in their coat...only recently have border collies been defined by there physical characteristics....in the past their identification was via behavioral traits...3/31/2012 4:47:16 PM
It's not typical, the typical is black and white, but it is definitely possible, BC come in a lot of colors and patterns.4/1/2012 11:15:15 AM
Yes, border collies come in all variety of colors. It sounds like yours is a tricolored BC.4/12/2012 2:29:44 PM

John Bruns wanted to own something more than just a bar. So the Havelock business owner decided to open Kegs Wings and Things on West Main Street in Havelock.
"I wanted to transition from being just a bar owner into something more," Bruns said Monday on just his sixth day in business. "That's the biggest reason."
He said he wanted a place for families that offered food and entertainment, and where a beer wouldn't cost $4 or $5.
Plus, he wanted to highlight local beers. Kegs has four offerings from Beer Army in Trenton among its local microbrews, and has others from Aviator, Natty Green and Outer Banks.
"The different brew masters in the area really do a good job, and I wanted to have a place where we could have their beer," Bruns said.
And when food was added to the mix, Kegs Wings and Things was born.
"We just decided we wanted a place where you could watch a football game or a NASCAR race," Bruns said. "We wanted a place where you could get some wings, or burgers or chicken sandwiches or salads — like pub food. And we wanted a place where you didn't have to pay an arm and a leg. That's how it all came about. It was just me and my wife and a couple of friends sitting around brain-storming, and it was like 'bam,' and this is what we came up with."
Bruns said the response to the restaurant's opening has been good, including Friday night when the restaurant sold out of its six varieties of chicken wings right at closing time.
"There were a lot of people in here," Bruns said. "I think part of that was the excitement of people hearing about it and wanting to know what it is. We had some young Marines and their wives and girlfriends back here playing pool, and when they started smelling the food in the kitchen, they finally figured it out, and it was on. They started calling their friends left and right."
He said the wings are jumbo-sized and are cooked such that extra sauce is not needed.
"I don't want them saturated and soaking in a soup bowl," he said. "When we get them out of the fryer, we put them in a sauce pan and sauté them in the sauce, so the sauce or glaze is seared into the wings."
The restaurant offers seasoned or sweet potato fries, onion rings, tater tots, and chips as side items and serves eight varieties of Angus steak hamburgers.
"It's two different kinds of steak that are chopped up, and they come to us fresh, not frozen," Bruns said. "It works out real good."
Kegs has eight televisions, five of which are over the bar, three pool tables, two dart boards and a juke box. The theme — from the interior decorations to the music and even the cowboy hats, boots, and jean shorts worn by the waitresses — is country.
"We're not catering to my crowd, which is the biker crowd, and we're not catering to the kids and the hard rock," Bruns said. "We're going to stay as country as we can."
He said the uniforms of the waitresses were inspired by the character Daisy Duke from the 1980s television show "The Dukes of Hazard."
"That's my wife's thing," Bruns said. "We got the wait staff together and asked them what they would like to wear. We were looking at blue jeans and sweatshirts, and the girls said, 'no, we want to wear this.'"
Bruns said the restaurant will offer live music on the weekends, with the top 40 country music band Crossroads scheduled to perform Saturday night.
Bruns employs 25 people at the restaurant, including manager John Morgan and Shawn Mitchell, who is in charge of booking the entertainment.
"They will try to bring in the best entertainment that we can have," he said. "And if I can find a couple of pretty good comedians, we may try to bring them in and do a comedy night."
The restaurant is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. It is located at 403 West Main St., just down from Goody's in the old Cadence restaurant building. The phone number is 447-4007.
"It's pretty well balanced as far as a little bit of fun and a little bit of excitement," Bruns said. "We've got TVs, music, good food, good people and good times."
