Nitto recognizes how important it is to stay on top of technology, which is why its tires breathe innovation. Nitto create tires for those who are crazy about their vehicles. They always strive to anticipate and drive consumer trends by supporting emerging markets before they are mainstream, helping them grow and driving the market forward. Nitto tires sizing, tread patterns and tire compounds combine modern aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. These designs are the result of state-of-the-art development.
The Nitto's story began long before the brand was founded. It was 1945 when Toyo Tire and Rubber Co., a worldwide known manufacturer of tires and synthetic resin products, was incorporated in Japan. By 1966, Toyo reached the shores of the United States to stay there for good. More than ten years later, the company established business partnership with Nitto Tire Co., Ltd., and that's when the brand began evolving into a renowned industry leader.
The highly professional team of engineers first makes a computer simulation of a tire to calculate everything to the very last detail. By using computer-modeled design for noise reduction and a program that helps in enhancing dynamic contact patch, the Nitto's team identifies and eliminates undesirable responses of a tire in various conditions. The technological advances and innovations in tread compounds allow the engineers to design products that feature extended tread life and improved traction on both wet and dry roads. Nitto's tire sizing, tread patterns and tire compounds combine modern aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. This technology has helped them create some of the most radical-looking tire designs on the market today.

The Nitto tires have a great aggressive looks and keep the ride as smooth as OEM on my new 22" Black Rhinos. Haven't dealt with much in the form of wet conditions, but the tires handle great on a dry surface. I am happy with the purchase and hope they wear well.
There is a lot of information on the sidewall of a tire. Typically, you'll find UTQG ratings for treadwear, traction and temperature, the size of the tire, the load rating index number with a speed rating index, the construction type (bias or radial), the D.O.T. compliance code, and construction details. On some tires used as original equipment, you may also find a marking that indicates its OE status.

Israel's Rejection & God's Justice (Part 2)
Sermon Text: Romans 9:14-23
Dr. Sproul discusses the different kinds of predestination – symmetrical (equal ultimacy) and asymmetrical. The symmetrical view takes the position that predestination is applied to both the believer and the unbeliever – positive, positive. The asymmetrical view considers that the believer is predestined to be with God, but leaves the unbeliever alone – positive, negative.

The title says it all. My hunt for a dressage saddle continues (Hopefully I can get a ride to a real tack store soon and really start experimenting! ), and the current front-runner in the price/quality department is the Wintec Pro Dressage with flocked panels, but I want to do more comparison between the original and the Next Generation models. The market for used dressage saddles here is pretty much nil, and eBay scares me as far as actually getting one that fits, but I do like the idea of a leather saddle. So, what are your opinions on this Paris Tack saddle? English Saddles : Paris Tack Dressage Horse English Saddles : Tack Wholesale.com
The price scares me for a new saddle, one tends to get what one pays for, but at the same time price is a major concern for me. The only higher-end brands that are available in my area are brand spanking new, and priced in the 2 grand plus range. So, what are ya'll's thoughts? Yay or nay for a starter schooling saddle?

Having been a night manager at a Burger King for a while in the long ago past, I certainly have to agree that lack of financial and operational knowledge is rampant, not just among franchise owners but in company-owned restaurants.
People literally become restaurant managers because they've been there a long time and haven't really messed anything up to that point. They, as a group, seem to know next to nothing about inventory control, employee scheduling, cash control, bookkeeping, and so on. It's just weird.
Of course, they also become managers for all the old reasons, too, kissing up, good looks, nepotism, whatever. I always found it fascinating that the company had a set of procedures that allowed the store I was in to make a profit almost no matter what the manager did.
I wonder how a chain with really good managers would do.

text: Born in Siankhoung Khanvan, Laos, in a Green Hmong family in 1948, Ms. Kue learned needlework and how to make things for herself. She remembers that it took her two years to be able to learn how to cross stitch. By the age of seven, she knew how to sew all the patterns necessary to make the traditional Green Hmong woman's skirt. Later, she learned how to paint the fabric with wax to create guidelines for the embroidery, to dye the fabric, and finally to make the skirt and to create her own patterns. Soon she surpassed her mother in skill and people came to learn from her. Her needlework talents were widely recognized among her people. In Laos, Ms. Kue had been a housewife and farmer with five children. Because of the war in Laos, in 1975 she and her family migrated to Thailand, eventually resettling in Philadelphia. She has taught many traditional folk arts to young people in the Hmong community here, both informally and with the support of grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. In addition to needlework and traditional poetry and song, Ms. Kue carves fruits and vegetables into intricate shapes; this aspect of Ms. Kue's artistry is described in a PFP magazine article. Her work was included in the 2007 PFP exhibition of Hmong community textiles, "We try to be strong."

Kodak is back in bankruptcy court Thursday.
A hearing involving health benefits was originally scheduled for Monday but was postponed because of superstorm Sandy.
A judge is expected to decide at 2 p.m. whether to approve an agreement between Kodak and a committee of retired employees.
If approved, healthcare benefits for retirees not eligible for Medicare will stop at the end of this year in return for a cash payout. The amount of that payout depends on Kodak's successful emergence from bankruptcy.

What is bad taste?
Bad taste, also known as dysgeusia, is a common symptom of gastrointestinal reflux disease, salivary gland infection (parotitis), sinusitis, poor dental hygiene, and can even be the result of taking certain medicines. Taste problems can also be the result of an interrupted transfer of taste sensations to the brain or a dysfunction of the way the brain interprets these sensations.
Mouth Problems Spotlight
Heartburn, or gastric reflux, is a common cause of bad taste. Stomach acid regurgitated into the mouth produces a bad taste described as an acid or metallic taste. An infection of one of the major salivary glands is also a common cause of bad taste. Similarly, poor dental hygiene causes bacterial growth in the mouth that could results in a bad taste. Another possibility is a viral infection that may damage the tongue's sensory cells and result in changes to the sense of taste. Other mouth or tongue disorders, including mouth ulcers, are possible causes as well.
Bad taste may also result from radiation therapy and medicines, such as antibiotics and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Taste problems may take months or even years to resolve, and some changes may be permanent, especially if the mouth is a target of direct radiation therapy.
Bad taste in your mouth can be a sign of a serious condition. Seek prompt medical care if the bad taste in your mouth is persistent or causes you concern. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you experience difficulty breathing or high fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit).
What other symptoms might occur with bad taste?
Bad taste may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition. Symptoms that frequently affect the digestive tract may also involve other body systems.... Read more about bad tastesymptoms
What causes bad taste?
Inflammation and infection of the upper respiratory tract, sinuses, mouth, and tongue can result in bad taste. Symptoms may arise from inflammatory conditions, infections, or diseases that affect the taste buds of the tongue responsible for the sensation of taste. Gastrointestinal reflux disease has a similar affect on the surface the tongue, which may be damaged by gastric acid and bile.... Read more about bad tastecauses

in an effort to continue our pursuit of fabulous culture and cuisine, we are kicking off our "passport" series on Thursdays for the month of August.
The idea is to create nice tapas sized dishes at the bar allowing customers to try several different tastes without putting too much of strain on your billfold. Prices for the dishes range from $5-$12/plate.
Last month we visited some of our favorite restaurants, their chefs and some of their most exciting and noteworthy dishes. We spent some time at The Four Seasons, headed to New Mexico and dined at La Posta, headed further west to see Alice Waters' Chez Panisse and finished up in Chicago, with the original celebrity chef, Charlie Trotter.
This month we are "relocating" to some remote culinary destinations…the first being Brazil. We'll create traditional Brazillian staples with a manna influence and local ingredients. These events are a fun time at the bar and they kick off around 7pm.
Will be posting the menu tomorrow, Wednesday, Aug 3…so stay tuned.
Limited seating at the bar, in the lounge and the bar tables…so rsvp at 910.763.5252 or email email@example.com to hold your space.

Gmail is currently down for many users and it shows a 502 error message:
"We're sorry, but your Gmail account is currently experiencing errors. You won't be able to use your account while these errors last, but don't worry, your account data and messages are safe. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue. Please try accessing your account again in a few minutes."
Some Gmail accounts can still be accessed using other interfaces: basic HTML, mobile version or IMAP, but you can't receive or send messages.
The problem seems to be widespread, since many people are reporting it on Twitter and Gmail's group. "Gmail Temporary Error (502). Last time I saw something like that from Gmail was 2004," says José. "All my Gmail accounts are down. 502 Temporary Error. for nearly an hour already," complains Jonas. "bitful is all grrr because Gmail throws a 502 (temporary error) and wonders if the cloud can be trusted after all."
Gmail Guide says that "the Gmail team is currently aware of a subset of users being affected by the 502 error on login. (...) Engineers have pinpointed the issue causing the 502 errors and it looks as if users should start to regain normal functioning of their account."
Update: After more than an hour, Gmail is back, but the outage is in Google Hot Trends.
TechCrunch has more information from Google:
"Since about 2 p.m. Pacific Time today, many Gmail users have been unable to access their email. We are very sorry for this interruption in service. The issue is being caused by a temporary outage in the contacts system used by Gmail which is preventing Gmail from loading properly. We are starting to roll out a fix now and hope to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible. Even though you may not be able to get to your inbox right now, your mail is safe, including new incoming messages."

Rockwell-MBB X-31
|The X-31 aircraft returns from a test flight for VECTOR.
|Experimental aircraft
|National origin
|United States / Germany
|Rockwell / Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm
|First flight
|11 October 1990
|Primary users
|Number built
The Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability program was designed to test fighter thrust vectoring technology. Thrust vectoring provides additional control authority in pitch and yaw, resulting in significantly more maneuverability than most conventional fighters. An advanced flight control system provides controlled flight at high angles of attack where conventional aircraft would stall or lose control.
Design and development[edit]
Two X-31s were built, with the first flying on October 11, 1990.[1] Over 500 test flights were carried out between 1990 and 1995. The X-31 is an early canard delta, a delta wing aircraft which uses canard foreplanes for primary pitch control, with secondary thrust-vectoring control. The canard delta has since become common on fighters such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale and Saab Viggen and Gripen. It featured a cranked-delta wing (similar to the Saab J35 Draken and F-16XL prototype), and fixed strakes along the aft fuselage, as well as a pair of movable computer-controlled canards to increase stability and maneuverability. There are no moveable horizontal tail surfaces, only the vertical fin with rudder. Pitch and yaw are controlled by the canard with the aid of the three paddles directing the exhaust (thrust vectoring). Eventually, simulation tests on one of the X-31s showed that flight would have been stable had the plane been designed without the vertical fin, because the thrust-vectoring nozzle provided sufficient yaw and pitch control.
During flight testing, the X-31 aircraft established several milestones. On November 6, 1992, the X-31 achieved controlled flight at a 70° angle of attack. On April 29, 1993, the second X-31 successfully executed a rapid minimum-radius, 180° turn using a post-stall maneuver, flying well outside the range of angle of attack normal for conventional aircraft. This maneuver has been called the "Herbst maneuver" after Dr. Wolfgang Herbst, an MBB employee and proponent of using post-stall flight in air-to-air combat.[2] Herbst was the designer of the Rockwell SNAKE, which formed the basis for the X-31.[3]
In the mid-1990s, the program began to revitalize and a $53 million VECTOR program was initiated capitalizing on this previous investment. VECTOR is a joint venture that includes the US Navy, Germany's defense procurement agency BWB, Boeing's Phantom Works, and the European Aeronautic, Defense and Space Company in Ottobrunn, Germany. As the site for the flight testing, Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland was chosen. From 2002 to 2003, the X-31 flew extremely short takeoff and landing approaches first on a virtual runway at 5,000 feet in the sky, to ensure that the Inertial Navigation System/Global Positioning System accurately guides the aircraft with the centimeter accuracy required for on the ground landings. The program then culminated in the first ever autonomous landing of a manned aircraft with high angle of attack (24 degree) and short landing. The technologies involved a differential GPS System based on pseudolite technology from Integrinautics and a miniaturized flush air data system from Nordmicro.[citation needed]
Serial numbers[edit]
- BuNo 164584, 292 flights – crashed on January 19, 1995, north of Edwards AFB, California. The crash was caused by ice inside the pitot tube, sending incorrect airspeed data to the flight control computers. Contributing factors included the replacement of a heated pitot tube with an unheated Kiel probe, and ground crew/pilot ignorance of an option to override computer control. The pilot ejected safely.[4][5][6]
- BuNo 164585, 288 flights, the last one being in 2003. Put on Permanent Display at Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleissheim in Germany.

text: ITV1's epic four-part retelling of the sinking of the'unsinkable'Titanic isn't a love story like the 1997 film, but the'story of the whole ship', says its writer Julian Fellowes. The series was created by Bafta winner Nigel Stafford-Clark to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the maritime disaster in April 1912, on which more than 1500 people lost their lives. Julian is best known as the creator of Downton Abbey and Oscar-winning writer of Gosford Park, but he had no hesitation in taking on this herculean writing task."It's a great tragedy, obviously,"he said."But I was thrilled by the idea of having a chance to shape another version of it. So I didn't need much persuading."He was offered the job before the first series of Downton had screened, but was intrigued by a coincidence between his hit ITV1 series and the new project."When Nigel rang me I was very struck by the coincidence because I had, in fact, not long before written the opening of Downton Abbey as having two characters drown on the Titanic..."Titanic differs from previous versions of the story because, as ITV puts, it'all human life is on [the Titanic] as she sets out on her maiden voyage'from Southampton to New York. From an upper-class family with a suffragette daughter, to an Irish lawyer in second class, to the below-decks crew, Julian has attempted to capture the interweaving stories of all classes brought together by the tragedy. Featuring a large ensemble cast which includes Linus Roache, Geraldine Somerville, Celia Imrie, Jim Carter, Toby Jones and Jenna-Louise Coleman, Titanic screens each Sunday on ITV1 from March 25.

Mercedes developing 9-speed automatic transmission - 9G-Tronic
Will be used on large displacement engines
According to a recent report, Mercedes is developing a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Dubbed 9G-Tronic, the gearbox will offer improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions compared to the seven-speed 7G-Tronic. It will be used on large displacement engines and possibly debut on the redesigned 2012 S-Class.
Going forward, Mercedes apparently believes nine gears is the maximum number of ratios that are technically possible. More importantly, the company thinks consumers won't accept a ten-speed unit.
As you may recall, the 7G-Tronic was the first seven-speed automatic transmission when it was introduced in 2003. In recent years, it has been outclassed by the new 8-speed ZF transmission used by Audi and BMW.

CVT transmissions are great for medium side HP and torque engines, the CVT belt can hold up to 300 N-M of torque..huge Hp power up to 700 to 800 Hp with more than 1000 N-M of torque need traditional automatic transmissions like the 7,8 or the MB promising 9 speed auto transmission.

The big trucks have 16 speed transmissions or more. Take a look at Mercedes Trucks.
Jul 22nd, 2010 4:31pm
To the folks calling for CVT's... drive one and you'll see that it's good for consumer transportation devices...not CARS! I bought my daily car the W204 C250 over the C200 Kompressor even though the Kompressor engine is cheaper and much more tunable with a pulley kit because the 7G-tronic gearbox was so much smoother than the 5spd unit in the 200K. The gearbox is so smooth you don't notice the gear changes as you blast down the road. But 9spds...that's a lot of clicks on the paddles before a turn...
Jul 22nd, 2010 12:36pm
I'm a fan of cvt-boxes. compared to the 9G-automatic it has a similar function but a really lower weight. But maybe Mercedes dosn't get a harmony in a stepless shiftbox. remind some busses of them. I don't think, that conservative Mercedes-consumers will like to drive like a busdriver, but I whould prefer CVT. I drove a Nissan Primera 2.0 CVT. It was comfortable and perfect in ratios.

Come on 7 gears is more then enough! The people who design these thing have to be satisfined some day. They want good fuel economy, but they don't give it such long gears because the also want their car to accelerate as hell and they don't think it's nice if your car has such a gap between gears. Mercedes should take american cars in mind overdrive gearbox with six gears, cause if your engine is so strong it won't have much more trouble with a 1500 rpm gap than with a 500 rpm gap between gears. I''d spend the money on making the cars lighter I mean most c classes weigh over 1500 kg, why? Same with the new 5 series how can this car with the same enigne be almost 300kg heavier than the pervious model?
Jul 20th, 2010 11:12pm
Pointless. I can see absolutely no reason for doing this other than showing off. It won't significantly improve either performance or economy. Some AMG cars (I think S65 and CL65) still doing great with a 5 speed auto.
Jul 20th, 2010 8:32pm
Like you say douglas6250 CVT is great but leaves you very remote from the driving experience ideal for a S Class type car but not a two seat sports car.
Jul 20th, 2010 7:52pm
CVT is such a good invention as you achieve different gear ratios, different speed without having the need to rev the engine up. Yes we do agree that dual clutch gear boxes offer lighting fast, smooth gear change, but CVT went further than that, as it doesn't need to change gears !! The only downside is that it could be a bit boring as the rev of the engine hardly changes at all !!
Jul 20th, 2010 6:15pm
My guess is that the 7th through 9th gears are going to be VERY tall ratio overdrive gears, which will allow for very high fuel efficiency at freeway speeds. Can you say 30-32 mpg on the EPA 2008 highway fuel economy test with the 5.5-liter V-8 engine?
Jul 20th, 2010 5:42pm
This gearbox will waste most of its life cycle in switching gears rather than helping wheels to turn.
Jul 20th, 2010 5:23pm
What a pleasure it will be to use paddles or lever especially to change down before slow turn from 9 to 2. gear. Thanks a lot.
Jul 20th, 2010 3:23pm
The problem is that Benz realizes this may be a problem, so they would have the car change down automatically, which is even worse especially because it doesn't let you know. This is my biggest problem with the C300 that I have. I'm on a back-country road in Connecticut, when I go hard on the brakes as a enter a sharp corner. I need to shift from 5th to 2nd, so naturally I slide the gear lever to the left 3 times. Of course, the computer has already done downshifts, and all of a sudden I'm revving past 7000rpm in 1st. If Benz does not allow for more driver involvement, this will be one of the worst transmissions for fun driving. And, knowing Benz, they will do this anyway, which means I will have to go for the other Germans with a proper manual because it is nearly impossible to find a manual Benz in the States without ordering one. I guess a new A5 or 328 is in the cards for me in the near future...
Jul 22nd, 2010 4:25pm
ull be going pretty fast while the engine idles in 9th gear lol
Jul 20th, 2010 1:20pm
8 gears is too many, what's the point of 9? It's just German engineers willy waving. At least 7 make some sense - 6 for speed plus a long 7th gear for cruising. I bet the "large displacement engines" can spread the power across 6/7 gears just fine.
Jul 20th, 2010 12:49pm
i think the shift will be faster more we know so the nine speed will finish in 160 or more
Jul 20th, 2010 9:59am
How Ridiculous!!!, 9 speed Auto,,,WTFF!!??.. MB have too much time on their hands, just adds more cost on the price of the car.. STUPID!
Jul 20th, 2010 8:38am
Normal cars had 4/5/6 speed transmissions, but MB, wanting to be special, makes the world's first 7-Speed automatic. Lexus follows suit with 8, so MB responds with 9. Seriously they should just switch over to CVTs the way they're headed.
Jul 20th, 2010 6:28am
Have you ever driven a CVT trannied car? It's the most disgusting experience ever...I drove a loaner A6-CVT for a few days last year and it was a piece of crappola. Who cares if they have 8 or 9 speed when you are not shifting yourself?
Jul 20th, 2010 8:17am
Besides the decrease in the "enthusiastic" driving experience, CVTs seemed like a "jack-of-all-trades" answer, being extremely efficient in theory. However, in practice, the high pressure pumps required for the chains eat as much (or often more) efficiency as an auto-box with a comparable ratio spread. In the end, it is more cost effective to continue using hydraulically coupled auto-box's, which still use legacy R&D methods and coding. And, the more gears, the greater efficiency(power & economy). However, the more gears, the more intelligent the trans programming must be to maintain a comfortable driving experience.
Jul 20th, 2010 10:03pm
it is the pen** principle. Audi and BMW are comin with a 10-speed soon and on and on it goes.

The publisher, Open Road Integrated Media, reached out to me with this book as I'd previously read Jane Bowles' Two Serious Ladies, and she is even mentioned in this work.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hesitant at first as Bowles' work was very well written but I just didn't like the characters. Thankfully, Welch's characters were a bit more accessible for me. This is two shorter stories (Amazon link) so I've separated my response into two parts. The publisher provided a copy of this book and I received no compensation for my honest opinion.
The one over-arching them the two pieces have in common is the idea of sexuality, specifically homosexuality, before it was commonly talked about and/or accepted. I tried (aka did a brief google search) to find out about Welch's sexuality, but again this was a long time ago before our out and proud mantras of today. Welch died young, he was only 33, and there is only speculation outside of his written works which in today's society seem pretty explicit. Regardless, I enjoyed both of these snippets of the past for completely different reasons.

Simple, classic, great lenses
Clean, classic simple lines on this goggle. Smith optics are top notch. So far Green Sol X has been a great lens for long bright spring days. Ignitor mirror is surprisingly comfortable on bright days as well, even though it seems to transmit a lot of light. Haven't really had any flat light to test lenses in yet.
I did have to pick up a helmet helper to make the strap comfortable on my helmet. It was cheap, but not so easy to find.
Happy with this purchase.

Sure, there have been scandals. But none that resulted in anything parallel to the charges facing former Penn State President Graham Spanier.

Two more Columbus residents have been arrested on drug charges in Portsmouth. Enoch S. White, 32, of 1035 Atcheson St., Columbus, is charged with possession of drugs - cocaine, possession of drugs, schedule I or II substance, and trafficking in drugs containing cocaine. Dominic M. Wiley, 21, of 961 Alton Ave., Columbus, is charged with possession of drugs - cocaine and trafficking in drugs containing cocaine.
According to the police report, around 2:35 p.m. Sunday, the Portsmouth Police Department assisted Portsmouth Municipal Court Probation officers with a home visit at an apartment located at 1809 G Wayne Ave. in Portsmouth. Officers had received information that two subjects from Columbus were at the apartment selling drugs.
Officers said when they arrived they found Wiley, White and several other individuals inside the apartment. Officer Steve Timberlake advised all of the subjects of their Miranda rights.
As officers prepared to pat down Enoch White for weapons, a plastic baggy with white contents was observed sticking from his right pants pocket. Lieutenant Michael Hamilton asked White what it was, and he reportedly responded that it was percocets. The baggy was removed and found to contain 5 - 10 milligram and 3 - 5 milligram oxycodone tablets. That baggy also had a small baggy with white rocks, which White reportedly said was half a gram of crack cocaine.
During the pat down of Wiley, Timberlake said he felt a lump under his jeans just above the ankle. Hamilton said he asked Wiley what it was and if officers could remove it. Wiley reportedly told them it was crack cocaine and he told officers to remove it. Timberlake then removed a baggy with 16 prepackaged white rocks of crack cocaine. White and Wiley were both arrested. No female officer was available to search female individuals that were in the apartment, but during pat downs, nothing was found.
Wiley reportedly told Timberlake he had come to Portsmouth to sell crack cocaine to help pay expenses for his daughter. White told him he came to Portsmouth with Wiley and he cut and packaged the crack cocaine for him because he didn't know how.
White also said he took a $50 piece of crack when he was packaging the crack, but Wiley didn't know it. White also said he purchased the oxycodone tablets from someone in the Wayne Hills area. White had $299 cash and Wiley $46 in cash. All of the money is believed to be proceeds from drug deals.

CAP Volunteer Process
Step One: Volunteer Application & Orientation
Fill out an online volunteer application to attend an orientation at the CAP facility.(Please note that you will receive an e-mail confirmation followed by an invitation once your application has been approved/ accepted). The process can take 5 - 7 days so please do not be discouraged if you do not receive an email immediately.
Orientations are limited to 40 enrollments.
- Each person who will attend must submit an application (no additional guests will be accepted)
- Parents must attend and volunteer with their children at all times. If your child is 16 or over, attendance to orientation is not required. Seating is limited so please only register if you plan on actually volunteering with your child.
- When volunteering together, one parent may supervise only one child at a time.
Step Two: Shelter Basics Training
After attending an orientation, if you have determined that CAP is the right place for you to volunteer, you will be required to attend a Shelter Basics Training class. This is a required class to become a volunteer. An e-mail will be sent to you with the date and time of attendance. During the training class you will learn the basics of animal handling, the shelter process, and animal behavior.
Step Three: Mentoring
Immediately following your training class you will need to schedule a "shadow" session with a mentor. A list of available mentors will be given to you during your training class so that you may contact one from home to schedule a session that is convenient for you. During your mentoring session you will receive "hands-on" training, from a veteran volunteer, working directly with the animals in the shelter.
Step Four: First Shift
Upon successful completion of your mentoring session you will need to work one approved shift directly in the shelter under the supervision of experienced staff guidance. Contact the volunteer coordinator to schedule your shift.

April has been designated as National Heartworm Awareness Month. Don't let April pass you by without educating yourself on this possible killer.
Sultry spring and summer days may cause dogs and cats to suffer from mosquito bites that can lead to heartworm disease, says Dr. Sonya Gordon, associate professor in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Dogs are usually the preferred host for heartworms, but cats are also susceptible to the disease, even indoor cats, Gordon notes. To protect your pet, preventative medicine should be used year round to avoid heartworm infection.
Pets are often infected when mosquitoes carrying heartworms bite the animal and pass on heartworm larvae into the tissue. The larvae mature as they travel through the tissue and eventually end up in blood vessels within the lungs, causing heartworm disease.
"Heartworms should really be called lungworms because they live in the blood vessels of the lungs, not the heart," Gordon says.
"However, if left untreated, heartworms can clog up the heart causing caval syndrome, which prevents blood from traveling through the right side of the heart and causes the belly to fill with fluid."
Gordon says symptoms of heartworm disease are usually heavy breathing, coughing and exercise intolerance. Pets with these symptoms should be taken to their local veterinarian for a blood test that can determine if the pet has heartworm disease.
Treating heartworm disease is generally a risky procedure since a toxic substance must be used to kill the worms that live in the blood vessels within the lungs. The body must then clean up the dead worms.
Treatment usually lasts two to three months, depending on the severity of the case, Gordon explains. During treatment the pet must be completely rested.
Costs associated with heartworms can be high. Treatment for heartworm disease can cost anywhere from $600 to $6,000 depending on the severity of the disease, while the preventative medicine costs only about $30-100 per year depending on the size of the pet, Gordon notes. Preventative heartworm medicine is given once per month to prevent adult heartworms from forming. If your pet has missed consecutive months, it would be a good idea to visit your local veterinarian for a routine blood test. Even pets who receive preventative medicine should have a blood test once per year to be sure they do not get accidentally infected.
"The best treatment for heartworms is preventative medicine," adds Gordon. "Pet owners have a variety of treatment options to choose from including tablets, tasty chewable tablets, topical medicines and even injections that can be given by your veterinarian twice per year. It is important to use the treatment that works best for you and your pet," Gordon says.
In this case, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure. By preventing heartworms from forming, you are saving your pet's life and a lot of money.
