Kiki's Pet Spa & BoutiqueRead MoreLike many other only children, Saran longed for a little brother or sister when she was growing up. She never got a sibling, but when she was 15, her mother did surprise her with a dog, Kiki. Kiki quickly became the sibling Saran never had, and even when she left her native country of Guyana to attend college in Florida, she never forgot the bond she'd built with her dog. Saran went on to earn an MBA, later ditching her corporate career to start her own business?a pet grooming and boarding facility named in honor of her now late canine companion. Kiki's Pet Spa & Boutique hasn't just been a comfort to Saran's animal-loving spirit, but also to other pet owners dealing with socially or physically challenged pets. That's because the compassionate staff isn't simply grooming and minding animals. During boarding and daycare sessions, they're encouraging the pets' social development and helping both owners and pets adapt to the setbacks of injuries or degenerative conditions. Staffers can also come to your home for dog walking and cat visits, and they can arrange photo shoots or portrait sittings for when your animal is having a good fur day.789 Washington AvenueBrooklyn, NY US
Huntington Learning CentersRead MoreIn 1977, career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their mission to give every child the best education possible is still going strong. They use an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student?s particular needs. Due to their success in helping K?12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills, there are currently 260 Huntington franchises open nationwide. The certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child?s skills, academic needs and potential for growth. Tutors note student response to different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child?s learning style. Teachers adhere to the company?s code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality, encouraging students to improve grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.808 Union StreetBrooklyn, NY US
Animal Clinic of CanarsieRead MoreAs the head doctor at Animal Clinic of Canarsie, Dr. Gusmorino works with a trained staff as he treats pets ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles. Dr. Gusmorino learned how to nurture animals back to health at the Universita di Parma in Italy. Now that he lives in the States, he divides his time between his practice and caring for his own beloved animals at home: a cat, a guinea pig, a turtle, and ferrets. The pet doc can perform a variety of services, from medical and surgical treatments to dental services and microchip implantation. Dr. Gusmorino is also the owner of Pete's Pet Supplies, the pet shop next door to his clinic, where animals and their owners can get food, toys, and Canine-English dictionaries.9605 Glenwood RdBrooklyn, NY US
Akwa GroomingRead MorePositioned in front of the russet hues of an exposed brick wall, Akwa Grooming's plush leather barber chairs keep a steady watch, ready to cradle customers who pop through the shop's front door. Once seated, these clients give themselves over to a veteran team of barbers led by founders Eric Essen and Rahkeem Taylor. These razor masters clean edges, etch designs, and trim beards left raggedy from accidentally using a portrait as a mirror for several weeks. Shoulder massages accompany most visits, unwinding upper-body stress while hair is tamed. Ladies need not feel left out, with expert stylists on hand to take care of feminine coiffures.923 Fulton StreetBrooklyn, NY US
School of WalkRead MoreSchool of Walk's pet-care specialists take dogs on walks when their owners are busy or out of town, limiting each walk to three dogs so that they can provide focused attention while teaching basic training commands. They can also schedule private, in-home training sessions for dogs and care for dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals overnight. When staffers visit homes to care for pets, they also water plants and collect mail for no additional charge.152 Degraw St, Ste 2RNew York, NY US

Mustangs treated by others
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Corpus Christi Mustangs were so accustomed to cooking at community events that they were surprised to find they were invited to an affair where their culinary services were not required. At the 11th annual Sweetheart Gala, the Volunteer Center of the Coastal Bend honored the group of 100 businessmen and community leaders who cook for local charities across Texas. The Mustangs enjoyed an evening that included dinner, speakers and a silent auction at the Corpus Christi Country Club. -- Lisa Hinojosa

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Dauphin Montreal Downtown
Might have been better if the ironing board wasn't AWOL, if the remote-control blinds worked, or if I woke up early enough to enjoy breakfast. Definitely the hotels fault on that last part, right?
I will admit, the heated tile floor in the bathroom was nice. Very nice.
Also, offering not just free wi-fi, but free PC to use free internet? Win.

May 26. Day 50. Hanover, New Hampshire
Well, from the ridiculous to the sublime! The campsite we are in this evening is called Storr's Pond Recreation area, which appears to be run by the County, near the university town of Hanover, New Hampshire. There is only one other camping party in this small 30 site campground, and they are far away. It is at the edge of the woods, with a pine needle carpet, and just 30 ft away is a beautiful little lake. About ...
Getting to Montreal
... incase we were diverted to another airport. We finally took-off at 2:17PM for our 1 hour flight to Montreal. The Montreal airport and customs were a breeze and we were greeted by an Oceania representative when we exited customs. After a short wait to get everyone together, we boarded the bus and headed for the Regatta in the rain. On board and in our room for only minutes and our suitcases arrived. As we started to unpack, the announcement for the evacuation drill was ...
Day before departure
... and packed lightly.
We will have no check-in luggage and will be trekking through with our 2 carry-on items.
The plan is to stay in Hostel International's hostels the majority of the time during our travels. I am very excited for this trip. Especially because I have never been to Europe (and many parts of Asia either). Not only that, but I will get a chance to visit friends from school that I haven't seen in a while.
Off we go!

Tuesday Montreal
... gave me the wrong meal and then insisted it was correct and I was too hungry to argue, we returned to the hotel to drop off our purchases and try the new iPad charger. It still wouldn't charge! Quelle horreur! No more blog! No Internet banking! I was starting to panic. What if I'd somehow blown up the iPad by plugging it into a foreign socket? What sort of strife would I be in when I came back to work? We went back to the Apple Store and I saw the same nice ...

My eyes are closing again and I am too tired to focus on the threads the prof is now declaring as 'being alive' and 'having been alive'...

Members of a Lehigh Valley organization say they've had enough of the shutdown.
Organizing for Action held a rally outside the courthouse in Allentown Tuesday afternoon.
The group is calling on Senator Pat Toomey to resolve the shutdown and debt limit crisis.
But the Senator says he, too, is frustrated with the current situation in Washington.
He says he will continue to work with his colleagues to find a sensible resolution.

Product description
This book asks why some countries devote the lion's share of their social policy resources to the elderly, while others have a more balanced repertoire of social spending. Far from being the outcome of demands for welfare spending by powerful age-based groups in society, the 'age' of welfare is an unintended consequence of the way that social programs are set up. The way that politicians use welfare state spending to compete for votes, along either programmatic or particularistic lines, locks these early institutional choices into place. So while society is changing - aging, divorcing, moving in and out of the labor force over the life course in new ways - social policies do not evolve to catch up. The result, in occupational welfare states like Italy, the United States, and Japan, is social spending that favors the elderly and leaves working-aged adults and children largely to fend for themselves.

Review quote
'Julia Lynch has made an unusually creative and insightful contribution to comparative social policy theory. The great virtue of Age in the Welfare State is that it succeeds in answering all three of its major research questions in a robust, systematic, and thought-provoking way.' Pieter Vanhuysse, University of Haifa 'Lynch proposes an innovative historical-institutional explanation ... Lynch's fact-finding strategy in these chapters is certainly helpful in establishing precise values for the ENSR and in raising additional theoretical puzzles. ... the author supplements this early analysis with three rigourous chapter-length studies of family allowances, unemployment benefits and pensions in two countries ... Julia Lynch has made an unusually creative and insightful contribution to comparative social policy theory. ... this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the interplay of liberal democracy and public policy.' Journal of Social Policy

Brady moves to 3-1
Brady was on the road again Friday night as they took down Amherst in four sets, 25-13, 25-10, 24-26 and 25-14.
Head coach Lynne Johnson said the Eagles played the first two sets really well.
"We had more weapons than they did," Johnson said. "We had at least four if not five strong hitters play well."
Tara Callahan had 12 kills in the match on only 16 hit attempts. Valerie Most also had 12 kills on 19 attempts.
"When Tara is hitting well in the middle, she holds the blocker there which leads to having success outside," Johnson said.
However, the smooth sailing in the first two sets didn't continue into the third as Amherst beat the Eagles 26-24.
The girls relaxed a little too much after that second set, and Amherst stepped up their defensive intensity, Johnson said.
"The sets we have dropped this year are usually because of unforced errors," Johnson said. "That third set our serve receive and passing weren't precise enough to win."
Johnson said that each of the wins this season should have been three-set matches but those unforced errors are what causes them to go longer.
"It's something we will continue to work on," she said.

I got a bit worried when we were in MSP on our layover. Flight delays make me nervous. However, this one was quick & painless & we were on our way to PDX. I never cease to be in awe of the rugged beauty of the scenery when flying into PDX.
As soon as we grabbed our bags & got the vans we were off for Willamette Valley.
First Stop: Erath Winery
Located in the much coveted Dundee Hills AVA this venerable winery has been a touchstone for Oregon wines.
Erath gave us a warm welcome & poured some absolutely stunning pinots for us. There is good reason why they have been around so long.
After Erath we headed to our three vineyard houses on the Stoller Vineyards property. Brad, Brandon & I got to work preparing a very PacNW spread of grilled salmon that I rubbed with dill, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, s&p.

Rather disappointingPosted Oct 27, 2012 on Hotels
This hotel is sited in very pleasent grounds with good access into town and surrounding areas. The hotel itself was very disappointing and in need of a complete makeover. The lighting in the shower and bedroom was very poor with no light in the shower area at all. The bar was depressing and even there the management had not bothered to replace lightbulbs that were supposed to accent the paintings. We didn't bother to have breakfast or dinner in this environment so ate at another hotel nearby and really wished we had booked there instead.

Even among audiophiles there's no consensus as to whether analog or digital sounds better.
This Nintendo sweater vest is as nerdy as they come, and just as adorable.
HDMI, USB, speaker, and other cables come in a wide variety of prices. Is it ever worth it to spend more? Actually, sometimes yes.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the CD format is still alive and kicking.
Headphones that plug into the the Lightning port of your iPhone, iPad or iPod and draw power from it are due to hit the market soon. Here's a preview of the JBL Reflect Aware, the Philips Fidelio M2L and the Fidelio NC1L.
The Audiophiliac tests the NAD C 356BEE integrated amplifier.

had the good old traditional fish and chips and was not disappointed chips were good and fish was excellent would recommend to anyone
I head here a good bit. It's the best fish in Ulster by a long mile. The shop is really nice and very clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. If your every in ballymena this place is a real must.
Great spot to chill out, watch the world go by and enjoy consistently excellent food. Fish and chips always the same all day long, all year long. Top, pleasant and friendly staff with brilliant, efficient service. Not to be missed!
Cannot fault a thing, the best fish and chips I've ever had. Service helpful and friendly and never had any problems
Love the Merchant for the best fish & chips anywhere. We always sit in and the service is fast and very friendly with as many free coffee top ups as you can drink. To the people complaining about paying 10% extra to sit in, I'm guessing that its a contribution to the 20% VAT charged on food eaten on the...
Have eaten here on a regular basis for about a year now and find the fish very good.
Shop is well laid out and kept clean.
Would recommend visit at any time.
This place is really worth a visit the best quality fish I've ever had in a warm friendly environment pleasant staff sit in or take away service.
Just been (sep 14).
I phoned in an order. It took the 12/13yr old on the phone half a dozen attempts to understand what I was saying, apparently chip, pea, onion & gravy is a complicated combo?!
I arrived at the shop, and... my order was wrong. So I changed it with the Eastern European girl at the counter, who...
I dropped in on the way home from a weekend on the north coast and was really looking forward to a tasty meal. Unfortunately I was left very disappointed with what I got.
The premises are well appointed and were very clean throughout, a credit to the owner.
I ordered fish goujons, a pastie and a portion of chips. The...
When we feel like fish and chips this is the place to go, friendly staff, efficient service. Its always a real treat to have a Merchant fish supper.

As consciousness has risen when it comes to the health of the environment, businesses have responded en masse by offering more eco-friendly products, services and policies — or at least, they say they have.
Greenwashing is a term used for companies that claim to be — but in reality are not — acting in an environmentally responsible way. It was first used in print by environmentalist Jay Westerveld in 1986 in reference to hotels that encouraged guests to reuse towels to benefit the Earth but that in turn didn't recycle if it didn't save money.
A whopping 95 percent of products are greenwashed. So how can you tell what's real and what's not? Here, TerraChoice Environmental Marketing (now part of UL) offers some tips, along with a handy primer on just what to be on the lookout for:

The "u" is added by Boa, it seems to do this if you have mixed case and/or numbers in the name. BTW, I first added them because I thought it had something to do with the import problem. But I think it is a good thing to add whatever code you have for the project to the main file, it gives you an project wide todo list, when clicking the yellow button on any of these files will run the application instead of just running the module. > >>> modDescStr's properties show it associated with no sizer.

A good way to do this is open the Frame designer and click on the Inspector and select the Objs tab it shows you all the controls. You can see there that they are on the self.panel1 and they don't show on the designer as the self.panel1 is only set as Window1 of the splitter window during __init__. To make them visable in the designer you have to find a way of defining the matplotlib (in the sample self.canvas) stuff in a way that the designer knows about it - I don't know if that is possible. > >> The sizer stuff for me is very often still a lot of trial an error >> instead >> of just doing the right thing - can be quit frustrating!

Do all five modules > that will eventually become pages on the tabbed noteboob in eikosFrame1 > also > need to be custom_classes? If you use a notebook then I wouldn't do this, in eikosFrame1 I would just put the notebook with the frame designer and then add the pages in your code by hand, at least that what I did. On the other hand you might be able to define them as custom_classes and then use Boa to add pages to the notebook.

Home > Press > Science Foundation Arizona funds research
Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) has awarded $1.5 million in funds to seed the first round of research grants to eight ASU professors. SFAz's Competitive Advantage Awards are a strategic investment designed to provide a catalyst for researchers of exceptional quality to help secure future federal funding.
"These awards will help to improve our environment, better understand Arizona air quality issues, and provide investments to boost nanotechnology, information technology and bioinformatics research," says Stephen Goodnick, ASU's associate vice president for research. "Science Foundation Arizona 's funding also provides an important mechanism for ASU to continue several high-impact research initiatives during a challenging period for securing federal grant funding."
SFAz's Competitive Advantage Award (CAA) focused support of outstanding Arizona researchers in three strategic areas:
• Advanced communications and information technologies.
• Biosciences.
• Sustainable systems.
The purpose of the initial CAA is to provide "gap" funding for proposals deemed most competitive for federal dollars.
"The projects funded by CAA are significant for many reasons, including the impact they will have in their fields and their potential to help create a research environment that supports a knowledge-driven economy," says William Harris, president and chief executive officer of SFAz.
The eight ASU research projects were part of 23 Arizona research proposals to receive $3.75 million in funding. The ASU recipients of SFAz funding include:
• Chitta Baral ($138,750) - Baral's project will expand on a new bioinformatics tool, CBioC, to help biomedical researchers improve information and data management.
• John Crittenden ($399,280) - Crittenden's project will provide holistic and systematic knowledge-based tools and strategies for more sustainable urban development.
• Joe Fernando ($106,660) - This project will develop predictive models of air circulation patterns for urban planning and management issues related to air and noise pollution and the "urban heat island."
• Sandeep Gupta ($299,740) - Gupta's research will focus on building greener data centers in Arizona by working on creative methods to boost efficiency, manage power consumption and address thermal management issues.
• Sudhir Kumar ($142,120) - Kumar's project will expand a bioinformatics database, called TimeTree, for assembling the timescale of life. The TimeTree database creates a relational database of life on Earth that is easy to use for researchers, the public and K-12 students.
• Valerie Stout ($98,690) - Stout will investigate the broad mechanisms a bacterium, Pseudomonas tolaasii, uses to cause disease in mushrooms and plants, which has relevance to valuable Arizona crops such as citrus and cotton.
• Wim Vermaas ($126,700) - Vermaas' research will look at the function and metabolism of light-protective and anti-oxidant compounds called carotenoids in cyanobacteria, a photosynthetic bacteria that has high potential as a sustainable biofuel.
• Neal Woodbury ($234,280) - Woodbury's research will focus on nanoscale techniques and imaging to understand gene regulatory networks relevant to health and disease.
Researchers were chosen based on quality of the proposal, quality and merit of the researchers' track records, and the strategic value and competitive advantage for Arizona .
This is the second major announcement of ASU funded initiatives by SFAz. ASU received $1.85 million to fund 37 top graduate research fellows in March. Funding for the SFAz investments came from Arizona 's 21st Century Fund, an initiative established by Gov. Janet Napolitano and the Arizona Legislature last year, which provided an initial $35 million in investments for graduate research fellowships, research and industry groups, small-business funding, and K-12 science and math education programs.

It's been a long time since I took my time reading a book because I didn't want it to end. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is one such book.
I know what you must be thinking – how does Greek tragedy fit into my ongoing blog series about classic mysteries? Well, I admit, it's something of a stretch, but April is National Poetry Month, and I strongly advise readers to find some great poetry out there.
As the library's humorous 2014 Adult Winter Reading Program draws to a close, here's one last comical book to add to your reading list - Texts From Bennett [7] by Mac Lethal.
I figured the cover of a book couldn't be so deceiving. Laura and Carrie seem to be having a grand time in the snow. The publisher obviously didn't want to give a sense of how hard the long winter of 1880-1881 really was.

And Everything Is Going Fine
"Maybe I should just tell you some of the facts as I remember them," Spalding Gray says a few minutes into And Everything Is Going Fine, Steven Soderbergh's fascinating posthumous documentary on the writer-actor-monologuist, who apparently killed himself by jumping off the Staten Island Ferry in 2004. Soderbergh, who filmed the monologue Gray's Anatomy in 1996, has whittled a first-person portrait out of 120 hours of footage from Gray's personal archive, including interviews, films like Anatomy and Jonathan Demme's Swimming to Cambodia, and footage of stage performances dating back to the late 1970s. Eschewing traditional documentary devices like intertitles and talking heads allows Gray to tell his own story more or less chronologically, mostly via his own work — which may be patently unreliable. In one clip, in which he asks his father to fact-check a childhood story he's worked into a performance, the monologuist admits, "Sometimes I don't know when I'm fictionalizing or not." His sad end is never mentioned in Fine, although it's obliquely, eerily suggested by certain words (Gray to an interviewer: "I like telling the story of life better than living it") and images (the opening frame, from an ancient, highly degraded tape, is of an empty chair, which Gray approaches, trailed by a cloud of ghostly rainbow analog artifacts; incidentally/accidentally, Fine functions as a kind of museum tour through the history of dead video formats). Seen as his final monologue, the film is both an invaluable portfolio of his talent, and a tribute rendered in the style of its subject.

Gallery: Low-Impact Pinus House Takes Flight in a Brazilian Pine Forest
This Brazilian bungalow outside of Sao Palo in the Araucaria forest made the dream of a small mountain retreat a reality for a couple - and the stylish retreat has an extraordinarily low impact. The project was conceived by Architect André Eisenlohr, who has a knack for taking modest, often salvaged materials and turning them into poetic homes. The house is a mere 40 square meters inside, but the sweeping butterfly roof and front and back deck opens it up to the Floretal Park natural reserve below. The Pinus House is a clear example of the low-impact approach that rural homes can take to enhance rather than detract from the landscape by using materials and placement thoughtfully.

Affordable Tesla sedan coming thanks to 'gigafactories'
Let's be real, here; you're probably not driving a Tesla. You might want to slip into the electric car fr your daily commute, but you aren't. A big part of that is probably expense, as the $70,000+ price tag of a Tesla Model S is likely out of reach. An upcoming model, though — you might be able to afford that one.

Great piece of Profoto!
I had tried to save money by getting an Alien Bees powerpack and ringflash, but after 2 days I decided to sell it and get the Profoto. The Profoto Powerpack is very well built, compact and works great.
I had originally prchased the alien bees zeus ring flash, but it was plastic, flimsey, so I sold it after 2 days and bought the profoto ringlight. This one is very nice, all metal, made very well and looks professional.
The quality of the light is truly superb, but you have to put up with a device that is fragile to transport, and which is a bit complex and informally designed in the way that it attaches to your camera. I think that you can fit it to almost anything - that's true - but it always a little "hokey". And be aware that there are limits to how fast you shoot with it, especially at high power settings. To get a better feel for this product, download a copy of the user's manual from the non-US Profoto website.
