Actually, I don't really have a whole lot to say about grouping through the Dungeon Finder. It's pretty much been, in the words of Scott Jennings, "Bam! Loot! Dog!"
In any case, I'm sort of surprised at seeing some of the negative stories about Dungeon Finder groups going around. Pretty much all of mine--knock on wood--have been successful. No comments about low DPS, no snarkiness or elitism, just clean and competent groups.
This includes heroics run on Coriel and Valarin, as well as low level dungeons run on a couple alts. Maybe they've been somewhat quiet, but everyone says "Hi" at the start and "Thank you" at the end, and really, what more can you ask for?
There have really only been two negative happenings. In one Culling of Stratholme, two DPS ran ahead and died, so the tank ditched us in the middle of the waves. I ressed them, the DK switched to tanking gear, and we carried on until we got a new tank from the Dungeon Finder. We even made the Drake Timer (albeit just barely, with literally seconds to spare).
The only other place that regularly has problems is Gnomeregan. And that's mostly because it's Gnomeregan. Low-level, long, a confusing layout, with somewhat rapid respawns: it's a recipe for unsuccessful runs.
Even Oculus isn't that bad. Speaking of Oculus, I've never found it difficult, but I do find it a bit annoying. It's very start-and-stop. You get on drake, fly a few feet, and get off the drake. Rinse and repeat again and again. I wonder if it would have been a better instance if it had been more like Malygos. If you spent the first half running around, and then the last half entirely on dragonback, rather than switching all the time.
Still though, the Dungeon Finder has been very successful and a lot of fun for me so far.

I feel the need to post a comment about your entry. At the beginning, I found the new LFG really good. All the people I've pug with were all friendly, etc. My main is my pally (holy/prot) so it's easy to get groups. However, my hunter is just dps and takes a while. I guess I tend to find the bad random groups on my hunter. Not all are bad but there are a quite a few. I don't mean low dps, etc. as you pointed out. I'm talking about some of the rudeness. What's with all of the "huntard" jokes? One blames me for low dps and posted his recount. If he read carefully, I was at the top (both total damage and dps). Another player also posted his and was confused what the tank said. I've also had one tank blame the healer (not I as I'm on my hunter) for being bad (with some colorful language) and left group after 2nd or 3rd wave in heroic VH. Healer did nothing other than heal and skinned. Tank wanted to skin or something but lost the skin (both trying to skin?) and healer got an artic fur. I don't know. As a result, a couple die and then people left as well. A wasted 20 minute of queuing and a couple of waves, I had to requeue for another random.
I think I'll just stick to "Hi" and "Thank you all" on my hunter and just stay quiet to avoid any unnecessary "huntard" jokes, etc.

My experience with the new LFG system and players you get grouped with has been pretty mixed. While the heroic dungeon runs seems to go more or less smooth (apart from obligatory rudeness, dps meter spam, curious decisions regarding loot and sometimes 1k DPS players), low-level dungeon runs tend to be horrible. I created one character especially to experience these instances (again) and ... oh boy ... I've been grouped with abolutely horrible players. No-one was using crowd-control or LoS, runers were left to run away, DPS people constanty over-aggroed the tank, mages pulling with pyroblast, players rolling Need on everything et cetera. I understand some of these players might have been unexperienced and still learning, but looking at toons with three heirloom pieces failing at basics have been plain sad.
We can find a group via the new LFG system much faster ... but unfortunately, we can find bad or rude players now much faster too.

Somehow, after three weeks, I've managed to PuG with....8 people. My experiences have been fine, but I'm seeing more and more horror stories popping up. My former GM got vote-kicked on his druid because someone 'didn't like the way he healed'. He was a little rusty, but nobody died. Maybe there was more to the story, but I have my doubts, this is a good guy and a good healer.
@leskopet -- anytime I've run a lower dungeon it's chaos. Even when you're in there with experienced people on alts. I'm not sure what it is, it's like everyone forgets 'the rules' and just goes in there willy-nilly. It seems like you don't start seeing order and decent play out of people until Sunken Temple, maybe Zul'Farak at the earliest if you're lucky.

I usually run pugs a lot as a tank, even before the new system came out. The annoying thing I've started to notice is that everyone is so overgeared for the dungeon that they want to go through them at blistering speeds. And if I don't pull fast enough for them, the dps will usually pull anyway without waiting.
Most of the time I can pull it off them easily enough, or if its a rogue or hunter pulling they get stuck on me anyway through misdirection and such, but I hate the idea that the flow of pulls is being taken out of the hands of the tank, especially since now I have no way of planning which mobs get Avenger's shielded, judged, etc to get aggro on all of them.
If any DPS pulls a mob before the tank then that DPS should expect to be killed by that mob, end of story. However since everyone is so overgeared it doesn't happen. (Even in the times when I leave the mobs attacking them they usually survive, and then go ahead to pull the next mob. :P)

Like you its been interesting listening to a lot of negative comments about the new dungeon finder, which is why I never used it till a couple of weeks ago. Since then, not a single bad pug, sure some people are a little undergeared (no problem consider Im atill using i200/i219 gear lol) everyones on a Hi/thank you buzz and in the 2 heroic runs Ive done both time we had an awesome tank or heals with the gear I only dream of having lol.
Ive actually used the new finder more on my mage alt (lvl25) than on my Main pally, just cause the lower dungeons are quite quick to get groups together and its fun doing instances with new faces.
so yea all in all, a good experience with the new lfg . . . so far lol.
Also check me out in Oceanic server/Dreadmaul/Horde if you are ever in the facinity!

I've had mostly positive experiences, and I've been running a lot of random groups on a number of alts. Although for the most part I'm doing the type of quick "Hi/thanks for group" runs where no one talks, which is kind of disappointing. I've had a few great runs where people were being more social and friendly though, which was something I always enjoyed about pugging back in the day.
The runs where I go as tank or healer almost always do well, and although I avoided taking some of my DPS alts at first for fear of looking bad on the meters, I haven't really had anyone yell at me (and actually I'm starting to lead on some runs).
Bad runs have included getting booted on my healer (without comment, when I was completely not at fault), people leaving Occulus upon zoning in (it's not that bad anymore you big babies), and only a few runs where a tank or healer got all superior about something or other and left.
Yesterday in VH our tank just left the group without saying anything at all after the 2nd boss died (before he was looted even). The group was doing awesome too, so we were confused. Luckily we got a new tank in real fast and they were quick to react to the situation, and we finished successfully.

On my protection Paladin main / Death Knight alt (I usually pug prot), it's more and more frequently that I get the "What Did I Bring You Guys Here For" achievement. That achievement is: #1 damage taken, #1 DPS, #1 Damage Deal.
Queuing on my Arcane usually takes 10-15 minutes on my Battle Group, and I usually spend that time doing my dailies.

High end dungeons mostly have been fine for me. Low end dungeons have been a great improvement over the old days, which was "Cannot find any group ever." But I'm finding that low level pugs have about a 50/50 chance to contain at least one or more extremely stupid or rude people.
Mostly, they're incredibly impatient. As an experienced tank AND healer, while tanking I try to pull a few mobs at a time -- a regular clip, but never so many that there's a strong chance of a wipe. However, there are often DPS members who launch right in, saying "Pull the whole room and let me AOE!" or "Let's go let's go!" If the tank is moving too slowly, they'll just take the initiative and pull on their own.
This can have severe negative consequences, because I think that noob DPS simply do not understand the very real limits that even a competent group has. Sure, it can look like everything is rolling along fine and the healer doesn't even need to drink very often. But deliberately picking a giant pull can spell disaster if a few adds show up, and it can get crazy if the mobs run away at low health. And sometimes they (as well as noob tanks) even do it while the healer is trying to drink.
I've had to strictly enforce a personal policy when I'm healing: If you are not the tank, and you pull without the tank's permission, I give you fair warning. Then I do not heal you, and I do not res you when you die. Let the DPS ragequit when they have to walk; they are easy to replace. And if I am tanking with a competent healer, I advise him to do the same.

I should add that I don't have a problem with genuine noobs -- people who are new to the game and looking for guidance are a great addition to any group. As long as you invest a few minutes to explain how to play their role, and they are willing to listen, they can be an excellent team player after a few pulls. It's only people who don't know how to play on a team AND arrogantly assume they know what they're doing, who are a threat to everyone.

Great product, bad scent Love love love this product for my curly frizzy-tendency hair. It makes my hair so soft and shiney, never stiff or sticky. There is nothing else like it anywhere. There's only one thing that keeps this from being perfect: the smell. I've had several tubes "go bad" on me, they start to smell rancid. Maybe it's the olive oil, I don't know. I wish it could be fixed, maybe with a preservative, bc I love this product. January 15, 2015
great product I really loved the scent. So fresh and clean. I had never used a cream before so I was worried that it would weigh my hair down. It did not! It worked great. I usually wash my hair at night to avoid having to use a hair dryer because of the amount of time it takes. When I used this my hair took literally 5 minutes to dry with the hair dryer. It looked and felt sleek and smooth. I love this stuff! November 28, 2014
Best product from the glossing line After being disappointed by the glossing shampoo and conditioner, I didn't have high hopes for this product. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I used a dab and ran in through my partially dried curls and it gave them a nice shiny luster and provided just a wee bit of control. The scent stayed in my hair for several hours, which I really liked. Be careful when using this though as it's easy to use too much and end up with your locks looking greasy! November 28, 2014
Great curl creme I really like this product. It wasn't my first time using it--I had previously received a sample. My hair is naturally very dry and curly and this gives me shine and frizz control as well as better-defined curls, so that's definitely a win. I've found very few products that can do that.I did a video review on YouTube (http://youtu.be/yVHnWuxhDvY) . November 28, 2014

I have been enjoying the mango flavored ice tea now for some time. I think its great for sun tea. Three/four bags in one gallon of water, set it in the sun all day and your ready for a great glass of tea. Since it is seasonal, I was always so sad when my local Peets stopped selling it at the end of summer. Now, by ordering online I can enjoy my tea all year. DUH. Why didn't I think of this sooner?
- Chari , drinking Peet's since 2002 6/27/10
- Windsor, CA
I have been buying a tropical tea from another distributor for some time now. I decided to give the Mango a try and I''m so glad I did. I used to have to use several large bags of the other to get a decent pitcher of tea - the tea was just so weak. Peets pitcher sized Mango Iced Tea bags are just right, I love the strength of the tea and my kids even enjoy the flavor - they'd rather have this than a soda or energy drink any day!
- Alex Ewart 8/5/07
- Laramie, WY
My favorite tea! its a huge hit in my apartment with my roommates. Also a family favorite
- David 6/10/07
- Alameda, CA
One of the Peet's employees suggested that I try this. Oh my goodness! It is probably one of the best iced teas that I've had.
- wynene Wilson 6/20/06
- Berkeley, CA
Upon sipping a refreshing sample of your mango iced tea, I was pleasantly surprised with its light and cheerful flavors. I immediately desired to purchase a large mango iced tea to go.unfortunantly, it is only currently sold dry and in a can! Your friendly staff took piety upon me and offered me a tall glass of ice and said pour away and have a cooler day. Thanks Peet's in Wilow Glen for quinching my thirst!

The Graveyard Book
The Graveyard Book (Hardcover)
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family. . . .
Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, the graveyard book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.
About the Author
Neil Gaiman has written award-winning books for children and adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning novel The Graveyard Book and Coraline, Stardust, and Odd and the Frost Giants. His picture books include Instructions and Blueberry Girl, illustrated by Charles Vess; The Wolves in the Walls, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, and Crazy Hair, illustrated by Dave McKean; and The Dangerous Alphabet, illustrated by Gris Grimly. A baby giant panda once sat on his lap and ate bamboo in Chengdu, China.
Praise for The Graveyard Book…
"THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form. In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment."
-New York Times Book Review
"Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying."
-Washington Post
"Wistful, witty, wise—and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This is an utterly captivating tale that is cleverly told through an entertaining cast of ghostly characters. There is plenty of darkness, but the novel's ultimate message is strong and life affirming….this is a rich story with broad appeal. "
-Booklist (starred review)
"Lucid, evocative prose and dark fairy-tale motifs imbue the story with a dreamlike quality. …this ghost-story-cum-coming-of-age-novel as readable as it is accomplished."
-Horn Book (starred review)
"This is, quite frankly, the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written. How he has managed to combine fascinating, friendly, frightening and fearsome in one fantasy I shall never know, but he has pulled it off magnificently - perfect for Halloween and any other time of the year."
-Diana Wynne Jones, author of The Chronicles of Chrestomanci
"I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it."
-Garth Nix, author of The Abhorsen Trilogy
"It takes a graveyard to raise a child. My favorite thing about this book was watching Bod grow up in his fine crumbly graveyard with his dead and living friends. The Graveyard Book is another surprising and terrific book from Neil Gaiman."
-Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
"After finishing The Graveyard Book, I had only one thought — I hope there's more. I want to see more of the adventures of Nobody Owens, and there is no higher praise for a book."
-Laurell K. Hamilton, author of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels
"The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death."
-Holly Black, co–creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles
"The Graveyard Book manages the remarkable feat of playing delightful jazz riffs on Kipling's classic Jungle Books. One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it's much bigger within than it looks from the outside."
-Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn
The Graveyard Book is everything everyone loves about Neil Gaiman, only multiplied many times over, a novel that showcases his effortless feel for narrative, his flawless instincts for suspense, and above all, his dark, almost silky sense of humor.

Heavy snow weighs down trees and bushes as a woman runs in Washington Park in Denver on Monday, May 12, 2014. A spring storm that has brought over a foot of snow to parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska and thunderstorms and tornadoes to the Midwest was slowing down travelers and left some without power Monday morning.
A May snowstorm closed hundreds of miles of a highway and snarled traffic in Wyoming and Colorado on Monday, while the Plains cleaned up from tornado damage and expected further frustrations from imminent thunderstorms.
Nearly 400 miles of Interstate-80 in Wyoming was closed for about 24 hours after the spring storm on Sunday dumped up to 3 feet of snow in parts of the state.
A major east-west truck route, I-80 reopened in Wyoming on Monday a day after its closure stranded thousands of travelers and truckers. The interstate quickly became crowded with the trucks that had packed rest areas.
The slick roads and poor visibility were to blame for at least one fatal accident on U.S. Highway 285 southwest of Denver, according to The Associated Press. The slippery roadway became an accident-trap. Two law enforcement cruisers were hit within the same hour after responding to other accidents, the AP reported.
"May snow certainly isn't unheard of here in Colorado, even down in the Denver metro area," said David Barjenbruch, a Boulder-based weather service meteorologist. "If we see the total accumulations that we are anticipating from this storm, we are certainly going to see a top 10 May snow event for the Denver metro area."
Texas was dealing with another precipitation dilemma on Monday as thunderstorms brought heavy rains, prompting the National Weather Service to place most of the north of the state under a flash flood watch.
The rest of the southern Plains could also expect flash flooding, damaging winds, large hail and possible tornadoes through the evening hours, according to Weather.com.
"The [tornado] threat area today goes from southern Michigan into Minnesota and then southeast into Missouri," The Weather Channel's Kevin Roth said. "Iowa and Wisconsin could also be threatened."
Powerful thunderstorms produced tornadoes as they moved across Nebraska on Sunday caused damage in several towns and rural areas in the east of the state.
Officials said the storms damaged homes and businesses in or near Sutton, Garland, Cordova and Daykin, and knocked out power to 18,000 utility customers.
Homes were also damaged in Iowa, according NBC station WOWT.
In Missouri, where a tornado damaged up to 300 homes in the town of Orrick on Saturday, Gov. Jay Nixon issued an emergency declaration and urged people to stay alert and heed weather warnings.
The Weather Channel's Roth said the tornado threat would "almost completely" be gone by Tuesday, but added: "There will be another storm system coming through the Tennessee and Ohio Valley areas. We can't rule out tornadoes but there doesn't look like a severe threat at this point."
Meanwhile, farther to the west, soaring temperatures and gusty winds led to dangerous conditions for wildfires.
The conditions in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas translated into "red flag" fire warnings, with authorities saying that any wildland flames would quickly spread out of control.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the service said to expect "a robust warming trend" through Wednesday, with projected highs in coastal areas near 90 degrees and inland highs around 100 degrees.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Henry Austin joined NBC News as a contributor in June 2013, and covers domestic and foreign breaking stories for NBCNews.com. Austin joined NBC News after more than 10 years as a reporter. After starting at British press agency South West News Service, he moved to British newspapers The Sun and The People, before relocating to Canada to help set up press agency Hot News. There, he covered U.S. news stories for a variety of newspapers and magazines around the world.He lives in London and works out of the NBC News London bureau.

Pleasing the Ghost
Pleasing the Ghost (Paperback)
Ever since his father died, Dennis has been seeing ghosts. Lots of ghosts. They blow in on the breeze, visit for a while, and fly off again. But one night the ghost of his Uncle Arvie floats in the window. And Arvie wants to do more than chat. Together, they find a lost love letter, finish a special painting, and dig up buried treasure—all for Arvie's widow, Julia. Dennis loves having his uncle around again, but there's still one ghost he's longing to see. Perhaps on the next ghost wind . . . Master storyteller Sharon Creech has woven a wonderfully funny, romantic tale. Arvie's eccentric antics and wonderful word play keep the reader laughing, but at its tender heart, the story reveals the holes left in our lives when we lose the ones we love.

Another distinctive feature of the B17 Imperial are the perforations along the lower edge of the leather sides, which are threaded together one side to the other by a lace. This can be adjusted to help maintain the saddle's shape and provide comfort in the long term. Tying the leather lace tightly pulls the sides of the saddle closer together, conversely loosening the lace enables the saddle sides to splay slightly further apart. This sideways fine-tuning of the B17 Imperial is of course in addition to the usual fore-and-aft tensioning mechanism common to all Brooks Saddles.
Cyclist of any ilk can appreciate a comfortable saddle as it's one of few actual contact points when riding a bicycle. One thing anyone who's ridden a Brooks saddle will tell you is that they really do improve with age; by treating the leather properly and simply putting in miles, the saddle will begin to break-in and form to the rider's seat bones creating a comfortable and personalized riding experience.

|Introduction | Pentax Q10 sensor performance | Pentax Q10 versus competition | Conclusion
The Pentax Q10 puts in a reasonable performance, but there has not been significant enough improvement in image quality since the Pentax Q to make it a worthwhile upgrade. If you're looking for a first camera within this segment, and are not drawn to having the very smallest hybrid camera, then there are better performing cameras available at a similar price point. Finally, if you're undecided between the best high-end compact cameras or a hybrid camera, then in our comparison here, your choice will be whether you want fractionally higher image quality, the compact models, or the benefits that come with interchangeable lenses – the Pentax Q10. The other benefit of the Q10 is the recently added K-mount adaptor that allows older Pentax lenses to be used with the Q10. If you have a collection of older lenses, then this may well help sway your decision.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

levalbuterol pre-mixed solution - inhalation, Xopenex
GENERIC NAME: LEVALBUTEROL PRE-MIXED SOLUTION - INHALATION (LEV-al-BUE-ter-ol)
BRAND NAME(S): Xopenex
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Levalbuterol is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath that commonly occur with lung problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Controlling these symptoms can decrease time lost from work or school. Levalbuterol is a bronchodilator (beta-2 receptor agonist) that works by opening breathing passages to make breathing easier.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. This product is used with a special machine called a nebulizer that changes the solution to a fine mist that you breathe in. Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist on how to inhale this medication properly with this equipment. If a child is using this equipment, a parent or other responsible adult should supervise the child.This product should be clear and colorless. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.This product does not require any mixing before use unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. This medication is inhaled into the lungs using a nebulizer as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. Each treatment usually takes about 5 to 15 minutes. Use this medication only through a nebulizer. Do not swallow or inject the solution. Do not mix with other medications in the nebulizer. To prevent infections, clean the nebulizer and mouthpiece/face mask according to the manufacturer's directions.Dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this more frequently than prescribed without your doctor's approval.Learn which of your inhalers/medications you should use every day and which you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens. Ask your doctor what to do if you have worsening cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, or worsening peak flow meter readings. Learn when you can self-medicate and when you should get medical help right away.

Bill Graham built his reputation as a legendary rock promoter through producing fantastic double bills at his Fillmore venues in San Francisco and New York throughout the '60s that paired artists who on the surface may not appear to have much in common but were artistically simpatico.
While the industry has largely moved away from Graham's practice in favor of booking big-time headliners with smaller opening acts, the pairing of ZZ Top with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on the current leg of the Mojo tour feels like something Graham might have put together back in his hey day.
This felt especially true in Dallas when ZZ Top took the stage to rapturous applause at the Superpages.com Center. The Texas trio absolutely rocked for 90 straight minutes, rifling through their hits while also finding time to tip their hats to Jimi Hendrix with a spine-tingling "Hey Joe."
"What a beautiful night for rock 'n roll!" Tom said as he stepped to the microphone after "I Won't Back Down." What a beautiful night indeed. After a sexy, drawn-out version of "Breakdown," Tom introduced the band. Following Mike Campbell's intro, a gorgeous brunette waltzed out instead of Chinner, Mikeâs guitar tech, to deliver his Gibson Les Paul for "Jefferson Jericho Blues." Wide grins and laughs spread across the stage as band members stared in Mike's direction with envy.
Without missing a beat, Tom stepped to the mike, glanced back at Mike and said, "Man, I need a new guitar stand!"
Tulsa, here we come! Remember to check back for more from the Mojo tour!

On February 1 on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota, as the temperature plummeted to -29 degrees, Tribal Police Chief Kenneth Washington responded to a call about a dog in trouble. A Leech Laker known for her love of animals, Teresa Gunter, had reported a wounded dog, reeling in pain outside in the cold.
When Gunter showed Washington the weak, bloody shepherd mix, he was alarmed: The dog couldn't even lift his head off his paw. "His eyes were sunken in," Washington recalls. "I thought he might die." He knew he had to help.
Two years ago, this story wouldn't have had a happy ending. But because the Tribal Police go the extra mile for animals and work with a project called Leech Lake Legacy, there was hope. The project transports animals in need from the reservation to shelters and rescues around Minnesota that can provide life-saving veterinary care, rehabilitation and adoption.
This transport project is supported in part through a special ASPCA program that helps cash-strapped municipal animal care agencies move more dogs to safety. In the last six months alone, we've helped the Tribal Police get hundreds more dogs to safety.
The night he found the dog—named Nibi—Washington called Leech Lake Legacy right away. The next day he was on a transport to safety.
Today, just over a month after Washington rescued him, Nibi is thriving, getting healthier each day. He greets people enthusiastically and likes to put their fingers in his mouth as his special way of "holding hands."
Nibi's story doesn't make headlines, but it's one of millions in which the ASPCA is honored to play a role.
You can help us reach more animals like Nibi by making a gift today. You'll help us be prepared to go wherever animals need us, whenever they need us. We can't do it without you.
There should be strict laws about animal abuse and this thug should be punished to the full extent of the law when he is caught
That is why I continue to support your organization. You are in my Trust when it becomes active.
I already receive all the mail from ASPCA and many more.
Sue Officer
Please send an email out with more of the story on who did this
and how they found them. This is the kind of thing that should be
on TV and a good story!
It scares me that humans can be so cruel. Insensitivity to these acts are just increasing. Animals, like children, are helpless to defend themselves. We need to bring family and God's love into our lives. What sickens me is that the abusers think it's OK and their right to do as they please.
I hope Nibi finds the loving home he so well deserves.
I read this somewhere once and use it whenever I can:
"There is a special place in HELL for people who harm children and animals."
That is so true. I hope every person who hurts an animal for no earthly reason spends his/her eternity painfully in HELL.
And I'm a very passive person. God bless people who help animals and children.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that is cute he/she looks like my dog that i uesd to have

It should be a ... tank top t-shirt~
Design a sweet T-shirt and become a legend at the same time.
T-Shirts! Get Your T-Shirts!
Ir's time to make some Hornets themed T-shirts, and since you all are the coolest and most enlightened Hornets fans I know, I decided to leave the designs up to you!
If you win, you'll be sitting pretty for a Hornets game wearing one of the three free shirts you received for coming up with the sweetest design. Plus you get the eternal glory as the guy who designed that awesome t-shirt that everyone wears.
The Rules
You can send as many designs as you want, but it's better to send two good ones than 20 crappy ones.
The design must specify a shirt color, and if you want, a brand. In addition to the shirt color, you can use up to two colors of ink on the front. If you want to include a design for the back of the shirt as well, please limit the back to only one color.
Shirts cannot infringe on trademarks held by the Hornets/NBA. They can't say New Orleans Hornets in full. Try not to use the same color combination that the Hornets use. They cannot use players' full names (can't say Gustavo Ayon, buy can say Ayon). They can't use any of the Hornets logos. It's unclear what exactly we can and can't do past that, but use your best judgment. Look at the Thunder shirts on Tree And Leaf and you'll get a better idea of what is OK and what isn't. There is a fine line, for sure. Try really hard not to cross it.
I will do this at least a few times per year from here on out, but for this specific contest designs must be submitted by Sunday, January 29th at 11:59 PM CENTRAL TIME. Yeah, I said central time.
Initially shirt designs will be narrowed down by myself and a few others. After that, we'll take the survivors back you you all for a vote to see what gets made. In all likelihood there will actually be two or three designs made into shirts, but there's only a guarantee of one this time around.
If your shirt design gets made into a shirt, I'll send you three free shirts. Also, you'll get a pair of tickets to a Hornets game of your choice OR something from my collection of random Hornets memorabilia taking up my precious closet space. I actually have Christmas ornaments and a wreath signed by almost every player and coach on the 2007-2008 team, so there are some cool things you could get.
Submit designs to [email protected] Again, that's Joe Knows Sports at gmail dot com.
If you have any questions, throw them up here and I'll hopefully get an answer to you shortly.
Attachment 3423

I wish I had more time for this, I might see if I can play around with it, I have an idea! Lol.
Say you wanted to put NOLA or New Orleans on the shirt... would using a similar font be infringement?
The shirt shouldn't look like the Hornets made it. I'd avoid using the same font. Similar is probably fine.
What about using a picture of a hornet player on the shirt? Would that be acceptable as long as it doesn't say "New Orleans Hornets" or have NBA logo anywhere on it? For example, would a line drawing of Jarrett Jack be OK? That's not my idea but is using the "likeness" of a player OK?
Hey, no picture, but a silhouette should be fine. A line drawing should also be fine, provided it's not incredibly detailed. A caricature, for example, is totally cool (as far as I know).
Btw- Ayon has been killing the best player contest of late.
The most clever Ayon shirt will almost certainly get made, even if it isn't chosen best overall.
I'm too lazy to design.
¿dónde están mis minutos?
[siloute of Ayon]
¿has visto mis minutos?
Good ones have been submitted for Eric Gordon, Jarrett Jack, and Jason Smith.
Today's the last day for submissions for the first of many t-shirt design contests. Reminder!
So what designs won the contest? I had some good ideas for this contest but didn't have the time to put anything together by the deadline. You should consider giving a little more time before the deadline for the next contest.
Yeah, when will we find out the winner? I'm looking forward to buying one.
Sorry, I'll have a post up about it tomorrow. I've been swamped the past few weeks and this bot put on the back burner.
Is there a place to view all the submissions?
Yes, I'm very interested in seeing the submissions. I'd imagine a link will be provided tomorrow?

Go ahead; satisfy your sweet cravings, bite into the richness of Atkins Endulge bars. They taste just like your favorite candy bars, but there's only 1 gram of sugar – which means no guilt. Just amazing taste, smart nutrition and another step closer to your goal.
Choosing foods wisely is essential to a healthy, active lifestyle:
What Is The Atkins Diet?
Atkins is the original leading low-carb weight loss plan that provides quick, effective, satisfying and balanced weight loss based on an extensive body of scientific research. The Atkins Diet is designed to "flip the body's metabolic switch" from burning carbs to burning fat. Graduated carb introduction limits blood sugar and insulin spikes, which cause hunger and cravings, and result in overeating and weight gain.
Atkins has the additional application of being the weight loss plan of choice for the millions of people who have a reduced ability to process carbohydrates – those who have varying levels of "carbohydrate intolerance."
The Atkins plan consists of four phases, with gradual increased carb intake for each phase. The plan allows an individual to find his or her perfect carbohydrate balance that is ideal for their personal weight loss or maintenance. Atkins dieters are motivated to change and maintain their eating patterns with delicious and healthy food options.
About Atkins Nutritionals
Atkins Nutritionals Inc. is a leading player in the $2.4 billion weight control nutrition category and offers a powerful lifetime approach to weight loss and weight management. The Atkins Nutritional Approach focuses on a healthy diet with reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and refined sugars and encourages the consumption of lean protein, fiber, fruits, vegetables and good fats. Backed by research and consumer success stories, this approach allows the body to burn more fat and work more efficiently while helping people feel less hungry, more satisfied and more energetic.
Atkins manufactures and sells a variety of nutrition bars and shakes designed around the nutrition principles of the Atkins Diet. The Atkins line of products appeals to a broad audience of men and women who want to achieve their weight management goals and enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Their products are available in more than 30,000 locations throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Quality profiles
The "Quality profiles" service allows to define several sets of quality requirements and to associate those quality profiles to projects. Here is an example of quality requirement : "A method must not have a complexity greater than 10!". Out of the box, Sonar embeds several coding rules engines (like Checkstyle, PMD and Findbugs) and can easily host any new coding rule engines provided by Sonar plugins. A quality requirement is an active and configured rule. Most of the time, several sets of quality requirements need to be defined in order to fit all kind of projects. Indeed, the quality requirements are usually not the same when starting to develop from scratch an application or when maintaining an application which is 10 years old.
A quality profile can also be used to define some set of visual alerts on measures. Here is an example of alert : "Highlight the complexity by method measure in the project's dashboard when this complexity by method is greater than 3."
Here is the default page of the "Quality Profiles" service :
By default, the "Quality Profiles" service can be accessed by any anonymous user but all administration actions require to be first logged in as an administrator.
Create a new profile
In order to create a new quality profile, click on the "Create" button on the upper right and enter the name of the quality profile :
You can optionally provide some Checkstyle, PMD and Findbugs configuration files to fill the new quality profile with some existing rules configurations.
Copy an existing profile
In order to copy an existing quality profile, click on the "Copy" button next to the profile you want to copy. You are prompted to give the name of the new profile. The profile is the exact copy of the copied one. You can then make desired changes to the new quality profile.
Edit a profile
In order to edit a quality profiles, click on the name of the quality profile. By default all rules activated on that quality profile are displayed. But you can also use the search form to filter only active rules from a plugin or search a rule by name in order to activate it :
When you have found the rule to change, you can activate or deactivate it, change its priority level, configure parameters of the rules.
Edit alerts
To manage alerts configuration for the quality profile, click on the quality profile's name from the "Quality Profiles" page and then on the "Alerts" tab :
From there it is possible to fully manage alerts, by adding new one, editing or deleting existing alerts. The principle is the following :
- Choose the metric you are interested in
- Choose an operator (is greater than, is less than)
- Choose the value that will trigger a warning
- Choose the value that will trigger an error
Any change to alerts will be used when the next analysis is performed
Associate a project to a profile
To associate a project to a quality profile, click on the quality profile's name from the "Quality Profiles" page and then on the "Projects" tab :
The projects associated to a profile will appear in the right hand box. It is possible to move projects around by selecting them and use one of the 4 actions listed. A project can be associated to only one profile at the time. When a project is not explicitly associated to a quality profile, Sonar uses the default quality profile to perform the next analysis.
Delete or rename a profile
Click on the "Delete" or "Rename" buttons :
Deleting a quality profile, will delete the alerts defined in the profile and will remove the association with projects. If nothing else is done , Sonar will use the default profile to perform the next analysis on the (ex-)associated projects.
Backup/Restore profile
This backup/restore mechanism is useful for instance to promote a quality profile from a test environment to a production environment or to share quality profile with contractors.
Click on the "Backup" button to export an XML file :
To restore a quality profile, click on the "Restore profile" link on the upper right of the "Quality profiles" page, choose the XML file to restore and click on the "Restore profile" button :
Multiple activations of the same rule
Some rules can be activated multiple times in the same quality profile with different parameter's values. Checkstyle "Regexp Singleline" rule and PMD "XPath" rule are those kind of rules.
If a rule can be activated multiple times, a "Copy" button is available at the end of the rule description :
Clicking on the "Copy rule" button displays a form to define the new rule from the parent one :
Once the new rule has been created, it can be managed as any other rules :
Extend coding rules
Checkstyle and PMD provide extension mechanisms to develop your own coding rules. Tutorials to write such custom coding rules are available online for both Checkstyle and PMD. You can for instance define your own naming conventions, forbid access to a given API or anything else that is relevant in your context.
Once this is done, you must feed the Sonar web server with those coding rules extensions. Here are the process to follow for both Checkstyle and PMD coding rules.
The Checkstyle coding rules must be packaged in a JAR file and this file must be copy in the $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/checkstyle/ directory.
A XML file must then be created in the same $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/checkstyle/ directory to "index" all available custom rules implemented in the JAR file. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used.
This XML file must look like the following example :
The PMD coding rules must be packaged in a JAR file and this file must be copy in the $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/ directory. Moreover, the JAR file must also contain the PMD ruleset XML file (in the following example, this XML file will be available through the classloader with the following path : rulesets/myruleset.xml)
A XML file must then be created in the same $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/ directory to "index" all available custom rules implemented in the JAR file. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used.
This XML file must look like the following example :
A full example is published in sonar sources. See the XML file and the Maven project . Note that two PMD sample rules are implemented, one with XPath and one in Java.

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival turns 30
Prizes will be handed out over the month as the fields burst to life

The tulip fields burst into color in this file photo at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
And the tulips are not far behind.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival officially opens Monday, April Fool's Day, and this is no joke: There should be a haze of color this first week of April.
Tulips in all their Crayola colors are expected to pop right on time this year because of a mild winter. In fact, there could be some big fields in bloom the first weekend of April, said Cindy Verge, the festival's executive director.
"Tulip blooming is right where it usually is, but in the past three years, it's been very unusual because it's been very late in the season for our tulips," Verge said. "Now we are swinging back to where we normally are."
Once a field begins to bloom the tulips there will last about two weeks. Fields are planted with different varieties so they bloom at different times.
This spectacle of color can last most of April as fields and fields of tulips bloom in a 15-mile triangle bordered by Highway 20, the Skagit River and the Swinomish Channel.
People come to view the floral magnificence and to take in a variety of events and activities scheduled throughout the month.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is in its 30th year and to help celebrate, festival organizers are running a special event called "30 Days of April," handing out prizes each day for 30 days beginning April 1.
Each day of the festival an item will be featured that a lucky visitor may win. In some cases, potential winners will need to go to the Tulip Festival office at 311 W. Kincaid St. in downtown Mount Vernon to try their luck; in other cases, they'll visit a festival sponsor to enter to win a prize. Prizes include massages, chocolates or a free night's hotel stay.
Another prize-winning opportunity is the photo contest, where budding photographers can win prize packages and have their photos published in the 2014 festival brochure.
The photo contest is running on the festival Facebook page. To learn more details go to www.facebook.com/SkagitValleyTulipFestival.
A new feature added to the festival this year is that GPS coordinates for all the tulip fields -- and for the festival office and for the festival's two major tulip gardens -- will be posted under the field map tab on the festival's website.
Every year, thousands of visitors from all over the world visit the festival and often ask for an address for a particular tulip field. The fields, however, have no address.
Festival organizers hope that by providing GPS coordinates, people can more easily track down the fields they want to visit, Verge said.
Another helpful tool that was added this year are live traffic updates and alerts tweeted by the Skagit County Sheriff's Office. The Twitter account is @svtulipfest.
Because of the volume of visitors, especially on those sunny weekends, festival organizers are trying to find ways to alleviate traffic jams. They hope that Twitter alerts will encourage visitors to avoid the most congested fields.
The festival is set up as a driving tour as fields and events are often miles apart.
"It's the sheer volume, and I wish I could change that, but it's also very exciting for me because they are all here to see the flowers," Verge said. "Every improvement we make gets some more information out there, and we all keep working at it to make it better each time."
Your best bet for seeing tulips any time in April is to visit the area's two biggest tulip gardens: RoozenGaarde and Tulip Town.
At RoozenGaarde, 15867 Beaver Marsh Road, Mount Vernon, more than 150 different flower varieties are planted, adding up to more than 1,000 acres of tulip, daffodil and iris fields.
RoozenGaarde is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day throughout the month. Admission is $5 per person and $4 for those with military ID. Children 10 and younger are admitted free. Parking is also free.
Tulip Town, 15002 Bradshaw Road, Mount Vernon, has the only indoor flower and garden show. Admission to Tulip Town is $5; $4 for those with military ID; and children 10 and younger get in free.
Pick up the Blue Trolley here and tour the fields from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. seven days a week. Adult tickets are $2; children, $1.
The festival's various events and activities will kick off on schedule Monday. Here are some of the highlights:
2013 Tulip Festival Poster Artist Karen Sistek: Sistek is autographing posters April 6, 14, 20 and 28 at RoozenGaarde, and April 7, 13, 21 and 27 at Tulip Town.
