For more information, call Joe : 203-334-1736
A Bridgeport man is calling on city officials to hire more animal control officers.
Joe Furino says he discovered the shortage after his poodle was recently attacked by a pit bull. He claims he was told there was no animal control officer on duty who could respond.
The incident happened last week at the corner of Prescott Street and Harbor Avenue in Black Rock. Furino was walking his...

I've shared many times that I give our dogs 100% pure pumpkin (in the can, no spices added). I also give them sweet potatoes as a treat and they have their own benefits…
- The amino acids in sweet potatoes help maintain healthy, strong and lean muscles.
- The amino acids also boost antioxidant activity, which helps to protect against cancer and other diseases.
- Sweet potatoes help keep our dogs' organs healthy.
- Sweet potatoes are a high fiber vegetable, which makes it fantastic for our dogs' digestive system.
- Sweet potatoes make the most amazing fries on the planet. The benefit? They make me happy.
6. The coolest thing about sweet potatoes is that you can get chews!
They don't last as long as a rawhide, Nylabone, or deer antler – but our dogs get all the health benefits listed above, they love them, and it takes the dogs a little time to work one down.
We have a kid's red wagon's worth of Sam's Yams (by Front Porch Pets) in various sizes – treats for the adult dogs and treats for the puppies. I'm never surprised that our dogs show happiness at the opportunity to try another treat. I know we have a winner when Rodrigo chews his down and returns for another, because he's the pickiest of our reviewers.
When it comes to our dogs diet, I've become more particular about what they'll eat and turn down lots of opportunities for reviews, because so many treats come with added sugar, corn, soy and wheat. If it's a chicken (or other protein) treat, then either there's very little chicken or non at all.
So I jumped on the opportunity to review these and our dogs love them, we love them and I think you will too. I can't believe I've never heard of these.
Products we tried (see what I mean by the kid's red wagon?)…
- Sam's Yams Bichon Fries Sweet Potato Dog Treats
- Sam's Yams Big Boyz Sweet Potato Dog Treats
- Sam's Yams Veggie Rawhide Sweet Potato Dog Treats
- Sam's Yams Yam Bones Sweet Potato Dog Treats, Calmly Chamomile
- Sam's Yams Cookies Sweet Potato Dog Treats, Berry Yammy
- Sam's Yams Cookies Sweet Potato Dog Treats, Green and Clean
- Sam's Yams Cookies Sweet Potato Dog Treats, CranApple Orange Crunchers
- Sam's Yams Cookies Sweet Potato Dog Treats, Hoppin' Good Carrot Crunchies
- Sam's Yams Cookies Sweet Potato Dog Treats, Pumpkin Cruncher
- 100% sweet potatoes; nothing else is added during production.
Sam's Yams v Rawhide Chews…
Our dogs haven't had a rawhide chew in years although it's tempting to pick them up. But Sam's Yams give you all the benefits of Rawhide without the crappy stuff.
- Our dogs love how they taste and they love taking the time to chew them.
- The grooves in the sweet potato chews clean our dogs teeth.
- Lots of vitamins not available in rawhide chews.
- Sam's Yams are digestible; I used to worry about the rawhides getting lodged in our dogs' digestive tracks.
- Sam's Yams aren't bi-products and they're all natural.
Warnings about Sam's Yams
- One is never enough. The dogs will want another. They may even bark to let you know.
- For 30 minutes after their treat, every time you go near the treat cabinet/counter or kitchen – the dogs will follow you.
- Your dogs' next poop will look orange.
Have you heard of Sam's Yams?

Altoona: Attractions and more...
Prairie meadow racetrack and Casino
Visitors can enjoy their favorite games like Roulette, Slots, Pai Gow, and several other things over here. They should also make it a point to go there only if they are experts in casino. Same thing applies for racetrack. Tourists should not enter in to gambling if they aren't sure to win. They should remember that they are on a tour. So, risking money would land them in a pickle.
Poker Rooms
The games available over here include nine smoke free tables of Omaha, seven card stud, Texas Holdem, and many more. Along with tournaments, visitors can also avail of jackpots, cocktail service, and poker lessons. So, one can say that these poker rooms are multi-purpose places. Tourists just have to name the game and it would be made available at the next instant. What else to say? Everything would be at a stone-throw distance. So, a good chance for gambling experts to make money.

Self Made: Photo Fanatic Kim Kardashian To Release A Coffee Table Book Of Her Selfies- By Bossip Staff Categories: For the Fellas, Instagram, Multi
Uhhhh, aren't they on Instagram for free?
Kim Kardashian Releasing A Book Of SelfiesVia USMagazine
This is not a joke: After Kim Kardashian admitted to taking 1,200 selfies while on vacation in Thailand earlier this year, the reality star has inked a deal with Rizzoli publishing and is set to release a book of selfies in April 2015. Appropriately titled Kim Kardashian Selfish, the collection will be available to grace your coffee table for only $19.95. The cover features Kanye West's wife giving her best sexy stare into the camera with ample cleavage on display. Kardashian, 33, explains how the "selfish" book idea came about in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, telling her family it all started when she was making a personal book for hubby West. "I couldn't think of what to get Kanye [for Valentine's Day] and so I was like, 'All guys love it when a girl sends them sexy pics,'" North West's mom tells Brody, Kylie and Bruce Jenner while eating in Thailand, "So I had Stephanie [her assistant] get a Polaroid and we were taking photos around the entire house … making this cool book and it ended up turning out so cool we came up with this idea to do a selfie book so I'm going to make some super racy."Never missing an opportunity to make a quick buck. That's the Kardashian way. Flip the page to get a peek at what you can expect to see in Kim's new book. Image via Instagram

LOUDONVILLE - Siena College introduced its new head basketball coach Wednesday afternoon. Jimmy Patsos has been hired to replace Mitch Buonaguro.
Patsos went 145-135 in nine seasons at Loyola (Md.), including an 11-9 mark against Siena. The schools have been rivals in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, though Loyola is leaving for the Patriot League this fall.
Buonaguro went 35-59 in three seasons with the Saints.
Patsos is known as very emotional guy and his news conference at Siena was a perfect example of that. A few minutes in he became very emotional as he talked about just how special this job is. Then in the nest breath he was laughing and cracking jokes, saying "Hey, if I don't win you the fans can yell at me just like you did when I was the Loyola coach."
After spending nine years at Loyola, Patsos signed a five-year deal with Siena.
Patsos led Loyola to the NCAA Tournament in 2012, and his stint with the Greyhounds may be best remembered for his decision to double-team Stephen Curry for the entire game against Davidson in 2008. Curry was held scoreless, but Loyola lost 78-48.

Old Friends to Spearhead John Henry Memorial
Michael Blowen, president and founder of Old Friends, announced the Thoroughbred retirement facility would partner with Bill Oster and the Kentucky Horse Park to create a privately funded memorial for John Henry, who was euthanized Oct. 8 due to the infirmities of old age. He was 32.
"John Henry was special to the park, he was special to racing, and his story is just a great one, regardless of whether you are into racing or not," said Oster in a release. Oster has been a park volunteer the past 10 years and was one of John's primary caretakers. "He was the people's horse, he was a blue-collar horse, he didn't have a lot of breeding, and he overcame every obstacle he ever had in his life."
"At first I thought we needed to do something very grand," said Oster. "But then, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that any memorial needed to be unpretentious and simple, just like John was himself."

Denver Broncos
Denver-Oakland Rivalry Goes Back A Long Time
The Oakland Raiders have always played the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers—dating back to the inaugural 1960 season of the American Football League. The Silver & Black even have played these three foes six times in the playoffs, as the rivalries run deep. The 2014 season closes with yet another big rivalry game for the Raiders—at Denver.
Opponent Profile: Denver At Mile High Poses Problem For Oakland
The 3-12 Oakland Raiders travel to Denver for their 2014 finale against the Broncos, and it's probable the Broncos may not have much to play for, in terms of playoff seeding. But Denver will still want to win the game, and the Raiders haven't been very good on the road this year at all—the Silver & Black is winless, in fact, away from the Coliseum.
Team Grades: Once Again, Raiders Prove Coliseum Is No Easy Place To Win
The Oakland Raiders improved to 3-12 on the season with a 26-24 win over the Buffalo Bills at the Coliseum on Sunday. That's three straight wins at home for the Silver & Black if you're keeping track at home, and it's also the third consecutive victory at home over a team that had playoff aspirations still. Yes, these 2014 Raiders may have found the secret formula to defending their home turf—finally.
Opponent Profile: Bills Defense Among League's Best
Consider that the Buffalo Bills have gone consecutive weeks holding both Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers without a touchdown pass, and you will understand the formidable challenge that defense presents for the Oakland Raiders offense next Sunday. Yes, it could get ugly for rookie quarterback Derek Carr.
Team Grades: Rough Third Quarter Dooms Raiders In Kansas City
Trailing by just four points in the third quarter, the Oakland Raiders gave up three touchdowns in less than five minutes and lost to the Kansas City Chiefs by a 31-13 score. It wasn't a good road effort for the Silver & Black, as they drop to 2-12 on the season.
Opponent Profile: Chiefs Want Revenge And A Playoff Spot
The Oakland Raiders broke their 16-game losing streak last month against the Kansas City Chiefs at the Coliseum, but now the Silver & Black go to Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri for the rematch. The Chiefs have lost three in a row, and they are on the verge of playoff elimination—they might blame the Raiders for that, so there's going to be some nasty waiting for Oakland this weekend.
CBS Sports Steve Tasker Talks Denver Broncos Vs. Buffalo Bills
The Denver Broncos are currently one of the leaders in the AFC and are looking for home-field advantage. The Buffalo Bills are battling for one of the playoff spots with numerous other AFC teams. Steve Tasker of CBS Sports talks about their week 14 match-up and how Denver may not be this year's favorite to win it all.
Opponent Profile: Battle Of The Bay Has Added Harbaugh Intrigue
Rumors are flying that the San Francisco 49ers might trade Head Coach Jim Harbaugh to the Oakland Raiders, and that's just the icing on the cake for this Bay Area rivalry. The 49ers need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, and the Silver & Black just need something to forget that beating they just took from the St. Louis Rams. The Sunday game at the Coliseum promises to be quite interesting.
Team Grades: Raiders Get A Big Fat 'Fail' In St. Louis
The 2014 Oakland Raiders had nothing on the field Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, as the Silver & Black couldn't follow up their first win of the season with anything positive. The 52-0 loss in Week 13 was as bad as it gets in the modern-day NFL.
Opponent Profile: Rams No Pushover Even For 'Hot' Raiders
The 4-7 St. Louis Rams may seem to be weak at first glance, but as coached by long-time NFL man Jeff Fisher, the team once referred to as the "Lambs" is anything but right now. Remember, St. Louis has wins over Denver, San Francisco and Seattle this year—and they almost beat San Diego last weekend with a third-string quarterback. They're still good.

This mini-story is based upon the characters in the book, Tales From The Glades Of Ballymore
They met at the Weasels' cottage at 7 bongs. Darkness had enveloped Ballymore. There was no wind and nothing moved. Even if it did, you wouldn't see it through the heavy fog. The ground was damp. Halloween Eve was eerily quiet. This was a night not to be out. The residents knew that and huddled by their hearths. There were no lighted pumpkins on front porches. Window coverings were pulled tight. No one wanted to attract the attention of the "unknown". Many would retire early.
But for Wilde and Wilder Weasel, this was their night and always had been. Last Halloween, they sailed the HMS Ballymore around the pond and delivered fresh pies to everyone. After that, they put on a fireworks show in the center of the pond. The fireworks brought many from their cottages. It was quite a rare event.
But for Wilde and Wilder Weasel, this was their night and always had been. Last Halloween, they sailed the HMS Ballymore around the pond and delivered fresh pies to everyone. After that, they put on a fireworks show in the center of the pond. The fireworks brought many from their cottages. It was quite a rare event.
This year was different. This year they planned to be the "unknown" that residents didn't want to attract. For them, it would be great fun. Joining them was Finn Frog. He had begged and pleaded to come with them on Halloween. Eventually they had agreed.
The Weasels were dressed in their familiar camouflage outfits with jacket, pants, black boots, and beret. For the occasion they gave Finn a beret to wear. That really made him feel like part of the team. Their plans had been rehearsed, and they were ready.
Wilde looked out into the fog and said, "Wilder, do you remember the fog we saw last Halloween?"
"Oh yes! On the island. It didn't move even though it was windy. Reginald Rabbit told of the same fog last week in his story at Petunia's."
Finn had shuddered last week when he heard the story. He shuddered again, now. But he was a brave frog and wouldn't let the weasels see that he was nervous.
The group of three moved slowly and quietly to the edge of the woods behind the cottage. Finn stared into the woods but could only see about twenty feet because of the fog. He saw nothing and heard nothing. Following Wilde, they walked south and then east. They were headed to the Rabbits' cottage. After about 1/2 bong (30 minutes), they were crouched down behind it.
As with the other cottages, the windows were covered, but some light seeped out here and there. Smoke rose straight up from the chimney. Those were the only indications of life within or without. Wilde and Wilder climbed a tree whose branches overhung the roof, and they quietly jumped onto it. Wilde took a small sheet of metal from his pouch and slid it part way over the chimney opening. He didn't want to block the chimney. He just wanted to slow the fire down so that the cottage would get chilly. They sat on the roof and waited. They could hear Rachel Rabbit reading a story to the family. Finn picked up a branch from the woods and moved into position under the back window. He waited also but kept staring at the woods. He thought he saw things moving in the fog, but it was probably his imagination.
After about 1/2 bong, Rachel stopped reading and said, "Papa, I'm getting cold." The family agreed, the cottage was cooler.
Reginald looked at the fire and said, "The fire is very low. Hmmm."
The weasels then began scratching on the roof with their claws.
"I hear something!" cried Rachel. They all looked upward and then huddled together.
Reginald said, "I think something is blocking the chimney. I should go look."
Rhonda, his wife, said, "No, please stay in here. Let's just go to bed early."
He didn't argue because he really didn't want to "go look". The Weasels and Finn heard all this and were smiling with glee.
Now it was Finn's turn. He took the branch and softly hit the window he was under.
Rachel screamed, "Papa, what is it?"
Up on the roof, Wilde said, "Okay, enough is enough."
He removed the chimney block and they jumped from the roof. Finn joined them and the three "unknowns" went to the front door. Wilder knocked loudly.
From inside, Rhonda said, "What should we do?'
Reginald answered, "I am going to open the door."
Everyone else pleaded - No!
"I have to," he answered. Reginald walked to the door and slowly opened it.
In unison, Wilde, Wilder and Finn yelled, "Happy Halloween! You've been weaseled!"
They quickly ran from the door, back towards the woods, leaving the Rabbit family with their mouths open. They kept running until they felt sure they were not being chased and then stopped to rest.
Finn said, "That was great. Did you hear them?" He was excited.
Wilder said, "Yeah, we really scared them!"
Wilde was a bit more subdued, "Yes, it went quite well. Tomorrow we'll bring them a fresh pie as an apology."
Then they heard a sharp crack come from the woods. It sounded like a branch breaking. That quickly put an end to the conversation as the three stared into the woods. They waited.
A second crack was heard.
"What is that?" whispered Finn. No one answered.
Then about twenty feet into the woods, a barely perceptible green glow slowly rose from the wet forest floor.
Wilde said, "Let's get out of here!" He began to walk quickly away. After thirty feet, he turned and looked back. Wilder was with him but Finn was not. They saw Finn creeping into the woods towards the glow.
The Weasels ran back towards Finn and yelled, "Finn, stop!"
Finn ignored their plea and continued. Before he reached the glow, there was a brilliant flash of green light. The weasels had to close their eyes. When they opened them, there was nothing. The green glow was gone. Finn was gone!
Both weasels moved slowly through the fog to where Finn had been. They looked down at the damp leaves. There was a thin coating of green slime covering them.
Wilde reached down and picked up a beret.

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Aug. 21, 2012 A rocket attack slightly injured two Air Force maintainers and damaged a C-17 aircraft here overnight, officials said.
The aircraft had transported Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to Afghanistan on Aug. 19.
The chairman was never in any danger from the attack, and there was no indication the insurgents targeted the general, officials said.
Two rockets landed on the flightline of this sprawling base sometime around 2 a.m. Two airmen suffered cuts and bruises, and the front of the transport jet and one engine were damaged.
Today's attack mimicked previous attacks, officials said.

Back after 250 years - 17 European bison reintroduced in the Romanian Carpathians
More than 250 people gathered from far afield to take part in this huge wildlife release event, far up a muddy forest track in the Tarcu mountains. Guests included the Deputy Minister of Environment Anna Juganaru, leaders from the state forestry company Romsilva, from the hunting organisations and from media from across the globe.
They were joined by forest workers and farmers from Armenis village, led by their village priest and their mayor Petru Vela. With this release event, a completely new bison population is being established in an area that within ten years is planned to have a population of about 500 animals.
The King of the Forest
The European bison or Wisent, also called "The King of the Forest", is the continent's largest wild land mammal. Once, it roamed all across Europe, except possibly Northern Scandinavia and the southern parts of the Iberian peninsula and Italy. It was hunted to extinction, until it finally died out in the wild in 1927, with only 54 individuals remaining, all in captivity.
Since then, a slow but successful breeding and reintroduction campaign has been carried out, to a number of sites in so far mainly Central and Eastern Europe. The global population of the European bison is now said to be 5,046 (Jan 2014). Of these, only some 3,230 live in free or semi-free herds. This makes it more rare than the black rhino.
Why bring back this species?
It is of great importance for the natural functioning of many of our ecosystems. Natural grazing and browsing by large herbivores is one of the key ecological factors in the open and half-open landscapes, upon which a large part of Europe's biodiversity is dependent. During millennia, that job was carried out by a set of wild herbivores.
Later, mankind exchanged these for their domestic versions, but now, for different reasons, over vast regions these are now disappearing from the land. It is high time to bring back the original set of species, of which the bison is a crucial part.
Why in the Southern Carpathians?
This has been one of the core areas for bison since ages back. However, it was finally made extinct here in 1762. The Carpathian mountains have been identified as a priority region for improving the long term survival of the bison, since there is suitable habitat which is relatively well connected. The place where the animals are released is in the vast and wild Tarcu Mountains Natura 2000 site, with a surface of around 59,000 hectares.
What is unique in the approach here?
Once released into the wild, these bison will not be fed or handled, but treated completely like the wild animals they are, so that they become a full part of their ecosystem and the natural processes there. The aim is to build a new, long-term viable, free roaming population of European bison in the Tarcu Mountains. Bringing in hundreds of animals over a 10-year period, with the intermediate goal to reach around 500 animals by 2024. Rewilding Europe will work closely with the University of Timisoara to monitor and study the bison's life here.
Born to be wild
"This is a very important day because usually we are used to losing species but today we gaining a species in this area," says Magor Csibi, CEO of WWF-Romania. "Anyone of us who work in the nature conservation field dreams about such a moment. First, we are so used to hearing bad news about animals, plants, forests that disappear every day. Today we witness the return of a species. Secondly, if for a long while it was thought that the solution to protect nature stands in keeping people away from it, today we see how people and nature have a chance together".
"This initiative shows that there are huge opportunities for wildlife comeback in Europe, says Frans Schepers, Managing Director of Rewilding Europe. "It is heart-warming to see how the community of Armenis has embraced the coming of this wonderful animal into their area. By bringing the bison back to the Tarcu mountains, we hope to stimulate a comeback also of the other main wildlife species here, such as red deer, roe deer, chamois and the carnivores connected to them. Rewilding Europe wants to make a significant contribution to the survival and comeback of this the largest land mammal in Europe, still listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. "
"Together with the municipal council and the people here, I really appreciate this initiative and the efforts by its rewilding experts", says Petru Vale, Mayor of the Armenis Municipality. "The collaboration with Rewilding Europe and WWF has been great from the very beginning. I am convinced the bison reintroduction will shape a new image of our area, develop a new economy and bring visitors here. We see the bison as a great opportunity for a new future of our region".
"The bison is part of our Romanian cultural heritage", says project leader Adrian Hagatis of WWF. "It appears on coats-of-arms, in our legends and in many historical place names, even on beer labels. It is a species that went extinct in Romania over 250 years ago, but it has never quite disappeared from our minds and souls. We have received very important support from authorities, from the wide public and, most importantly, from the locals, for bringing back the bison here. This is hugely motivating for us in our work."
Who helped make it happen?
The bison come from sources in several European countries: Avesta Visentpark and Kolmårdens Djurpark in Sweden, Springe, Hardehausen and Hirschfeld in Germany, Parco Natura Viva in Italy, Han-sur-Lesse in Belgium and Hateg in Romania.
The Dutch Postcode Lottery, The Swedish Postcode Lottery and the Liberty Wildlife Fund have provided the financial support which made this amazing bison reintroduction in the Southern Carpathians possible.
The Municipality of Armenis, in which the animals were released, has been instrumental and is extremely supportive. Five different (local, regional and state) authorities in Romania provided support and the legal permissions needed for the release.
What's next?
This bison reintroduction is just a start. Locally hired people have already been trained to take the role of bison rangers and the first bison guides. From the very beginning, even if at a start in acclimatisation and re-wilding zones, the bison will also serve as an important regional tourism attraction, to help bring business opportunities and jobs to the local community. A Bison Visitor Centre will be established, from which several bison and nature related activities will be organised. Bison Safaris will very soon be possible.
Rewilding Europe and WWF have been working very closely with the community , the entrepreneurs, forestry services, hunting organisations and tourism organisations at a local, regional and national level. Among the next steps are: work on business development based on the values of the wild, like wildlife watching tourism, and efforts to halt poaching and poisoning, possibly bringing back the griffon vulture and creating "no-take zones".

I've gone through plenty of Hohner harmonicas. Replacing those Hohner harmonicas have been getting increasingly expensive. Even the Hohner replacement reeds are getting expensive. Now we are free from the Hohner goosestep, thanks to Lee Oskar, which makes a harmonica that is, at worst, just as good as the Hohner counterpart, but at a lower price. Also worth mention is that the Lee Oskar replacement reed plates are also available for a lower price.
My original plates on my Major Diatonic 1910 had several crooked reeds that were very hard to adjust, to the point that I gave trying to fix them and ordered new reed plates. Imagine my surprise that the new plates were worse. I think I am just going to stay away from LO Harps.

Re: DW9002 beater position

This would be consistent with my conclusion above, that
the total resistance on the SLAVE beater is the spring tension
plus the resistance of the drive shaft U joints
(which is dependent on the angle of those joints, and some minor resistance from ball bearings
, in which case the DW9002 has some of the smoothest, if not THE smoothest bearings).
So you need less spring tension, because the remaining tension is brought by
the resistance in the drive shaft and bearings.
As for the main pedal and how it's set up, I'm not sure how much work you do with your right foot.
I do alot. I've played single my entire life. The DW9002 slave part stayed in a box until very recently. And because I play entirely jazz, I don't see myself trying to play more than a couple of notes here and there, within empty spots in a fill.
I suppose if you don't lift a lot to where it allows the beater to come back all that much then it may work for you but I just can't believe you're not destroying the top of your foot lol. The footboard may not be all that bad, as I believe Tony Royster Jr has his 9000's up quite a bit but either way like others feel, I think the beater could be moved forward quite a bit lol. :)
The photo shows the static position of the pedal. That footboard actually is very low - at its lowest setting - when in the playing position. The only thing weird about it is getting your foot INTO the playing position.
You're actually being counter effective. For the same kind of tension as you get with it that far back, you can have it with the beater much closer. I too like a bit of distance and a longer stroke but that just seems too excessive. Though like I said, you may not move your foot enough to where it allows the beater to come back and hit your foot and you may play like that either because you're trying to keep it from hitting your foot or because that's just how you play.
Let me make a video today and post what my foot looks like playing. Be aware that my double pedal work is crap compared to what I can do sitting at a bus stop in my tennis shoes :)
Either way I now hate you knowing you have 9000's for pedals lol! :P :)
Hah! You should hate me because I got a good deal on ebay. I may end up going for the IC. And I think the hip is on the Rolling Glide for sensitivity. I've been very happy with the DW9000, which is code for the master part of the DW9002. I like the way it's built and the way it looks. I'm glad I don't like the round lugs on DW drums, because then I'd have to fork up a lot of $$$$ to play them. DW pedals and hardware, including the AirLift throne, are good to go for me!!
I was a Speed King user prior to that, which = 20 yrs of playing = 20 yrs of a cam/hinge wearing a hole in the bottom of the BD head :)

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minneapolis home known as the Mary Tyler Moore house is on the market.
The Victorian-style house with 9,500 square feet, seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms can be yours for $2.8 million.
The exterior of the home in south Minneapolis was featured in the opening credits of the 1970s sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Moore's character, Mary Richards, lived in an apartment in the house, although the interior bears little resemblance to the show's stage set. The Star Tribune says (http://bit.ly/UhFFED ) the single-family house has been extensively remodeled.

I have heard very little about the upcoming He-Man project except for the news we have all heard, that John Woo is aboard to direct and Nicolas Cage was being considered for the role of Skeletor, but other than that.. pretty much zilch.
A couple of days ago, however, I did receive a bit of rumor focused on the upcoming flick that seemed interesting enough to spout off about, whether it is true or not, it still gets the mind racing.
Based on the news we received apparently Jennifer Garner is currently the frontrunner to play She-Ra in the flick, plus our insider tells us that rumors of Jason Lewis and Nicolas Cage being involved are false.
He also tells me that shooting is expected to begin before the year is up.
Don't go putting too much stock in this rumor, just mull it around a bit. Garner could be a good candidate, but it could look a bit weird seeing her with a big fro of blonde hair, after all, this isn't "Alias," the wig would be on the whole time.
Thanks to 'Doc' for the bit of rumor.

"We Serve With Pride"
Beginning May 19th through June 1st, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, in coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), will be participating in a Click It or Ticket grant designated for seatbelt enforcement. The purpose for this campaign is to bring to light the importance of wearing a seatbelt and to reduce serious and fatal injuries. The success of the program is accomplished by brining awareness to the public, maximizing the visibility of enforcement to the public, and focusing on those individuals driving without their seatbelts during the upcoming holiday period.
Last year, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office issued 366 citations for seatbelt violations during the Click It or Ticket campaign. This year, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Traffic Section has investigated 7 fatalities out in the county. Out of those 7, 3 were not wearing a seatbelt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), if all passenger vehicle occupants age 5 and older had worn seat belts, an additional 3,031 people could have been saved in 2012. Most fatal crashes happen within 25 miles from home and at speeds of less than 40 mph.
State laws passed in 2009 included new safety belt requirements for both drivers and passengers. All passengers (including adults) in the back seat now must be buckled up, and children younger than 8 years old have to ride in a child safety seat or booster seat unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall. Fines range from $25 to $250 plus court costs.

We have so much material for you that your Halloween costumes should be sorted out for the next couple of years. There are so many options to check out. You could take inspiration from our very own FABlifers or you could take a look at our gallery of celebrity Halloween twitpics. Perhaps the early bird stars who played dress-up over the weekend will float your boat? Don't see anything you like? Then skedaddle over to Best Week Ever's rundown of the only 13 celeb Halloween costumes that matter, or VH1 Blog's ultimate gallery of VH1 stars' costumes. Our halos are polished to a high shine.
And we're not done yet. Since yesterday was the last day for trick-or-treating and Halloween costumes, celebrities really outdid themselves. The final few we loved were folks like Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford who cracked us up by getting their '80s on as members of Mötley Crüe. Eden Wood from Toddlers and Tiaras was big this year with Chrissy Teigen and Fergie dressing up as her. Kelly Ripa outdid herself on Live! With Regis and Kelly along with Nick Lachey. Their first outfit sequence had Kelly dressed up as Eden as well, and Nick as Charlie Sheen. Their second has Kelly as Kim Kardashian and Nick (on stilts) as Kris Humphries on their wedding day. Ouch! The sexiest prize goes to Miranda Kerr who was the hottest ringmaster ever, and we'd like to give a round of applause to the mommies-to-be as well. Beyoncé was the cutest bumblebee in town, while Jennifer Garner was a witch.
Check out the gallery for the final top 10 celebrity Halloween costumes. We hope you had a FAB weekend.

Austin Wolfe: Bull Riding
Monte Snider finished 11th just one hole out of making the short round in the steer wrestling. However, made quite a run and an awesome effort, just to give you an idea his time was 5.5. Snider in 5 and a half seconds mounted on a horse going 30mph dismounted from the horse to a steer and then threw the steer down.
If you happen to have these students in your class or see these students around campus please congratulate them on their success.

Every day I wake up, I have to have some kind of optimism deep in my heart that makes me want to drag myself out of bed and continue with this endless uncertainty that we have to live with, as it seems we no longer have a clue what each day may bring for Kenya.
What really worries me, although I should probably not let thoughts like this come out of my head, but...Kikuyu's are perceived as to have taken the lions share over the past few years with a Kikuyu in charge in the form of Kibaki, and the Luo's now feel it is their turn to garner some of this wealth and have their people in power and reap some of these rewards. Because of the way the final results in the Presidential election were released in such a clandestine manner, and the fact that up until that point, the media had Raila leading the race. Of course the people who voted for Raila feel cheated, and that means it has turned into a war ofLuo vs. Kikuyu with all the other tribes taking their sides as per how the majority of their tribesmen were perceived to have voted.
What this shows is that having a President of whatever tribe giving out various government posts and therefore (how it generally ends up), unequal distribution of funds to his cronies, certain tribes feel missed out in this distribution of wealth and this has to change before we will ever get anywhere surely.
It most definitely ends up being all about money and who benefits. Whatever they decide to do and however it is done, the most important thing in all this is that a long term plan of sorting out this incredible inequality between Kenyans needs to be most definitely be on top of the agenda. And whatever is done, it must be done so in a totally transparent way, so that Kenyans can feel that those big wigs are actually thinking of them and not just themselves, as per usual.
Goodness I should stop all this speculating and not let these thoughts escape from the recesses of my brain, but hey if I can't tell you lot, who can I say it to?
Please remember that whatever I write here is just what I hear and what I think and I cannot verify anything apart from what I have seen with my own eyes. It is entirely my own opinion and you may agree or disagree as you wish as I would like to say that as Kenyans, we shall live in a democracy no matter what these ..... do to us!

Apple could be planning to launch its annual Back to School sales promotion within the next two weeks. Apple Stores, according to several employees, will be changing the front of store glass window displays overnight on June 30th. This is the usual timeframe in which Apple launches a promotion to boost Mac, iPad, and iPhone sales in anticipation of the new school year in the fall.
Last year, the Back to School promotion consisted of $100 App Store gift cards for Mac purchases and $50 cards for iPad and iPhone purchases by students with their Student IDs. Of course, this June 30th window change could be connected to another promotion or a new product, but based on the timing, the Back to School program being in the wings seems most likely.

Let's hope they cut the crap and have free AppleCare plus $100 credit. Apple stuff is way over-priced. I love it (user since 1989), but their pricing has gotten worse over the years.
I need a new computer with some balls, but anything with decent specs is pushing two grand. They need to give everything a bump in terms of speed, graphics card, memory and storage. They can easily afford it, and the result will be that they will sell more boxes.
Apple, please don't forget who brought you to the dance. Think Different about pricing. Your vast hoard is proof that you are over-priced, and stop paying employees like Aherendts millions of dollars for walking through the door. You have lost your conscience.

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross freshman outfielder Emily Jarvis (Hopkinton, Mass.) has been named both Patriot League Player and Patriot League Rookie of the Week, as announced by the league. Jarvis led the team with a .414 batting average over 10 contests last week at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla.
Jarvis recorded her first career hit in her second at-bat of the season and first career home run (and RBI) in her third at-bat of the season in Holy Cross' season opener versus South Dakota (3/3). She also recorded her first stolen base in that game against the Coyotes. The rookie hit her second career home run against Penn (3/4) and swiped three bases as the Crusaders defeated Grambling State (3/7), 15-8. Jarvis holds the highest batting average (.414) on the team of any player that played in all 10 games last week and leads the team in runs scored (10), hits (12), doubles (3), total bases (21) and steals (6). She is also tied for first in home runs (2).
This marks the first Holy Cross Patriot League Player of the Week award since Sam Fregenti (Melville, N.Y.) on May 9, 2011 and the first Rookie of the Week since Julia Barrett (Gardner, Mass.) earned the recognition on March 14, 2011. The Crusaders are 3-7 on the season and will return to action on Friday, March 15, against Yale at 9:30 a.m. at the Stony Brook Invitational.
Junior Kelliner Croushore (Claremont, Calif.) was also recognized by College Sports Madness as the Patriot League Player of the Week. Croushore batted an even .300 at the Rebel Spring Games and was tied for the team lead with two long balls. She holds a .533 slugging percentage and is tied for second on the team with 16 total bases.

Customer reviews
By Debbie Baynham 21 Jun 2011
I've been reading the three Faraway Tree books with my daughter, 8yrs old. They are still fun, humorous and enthralling as when I read them, about 30yrs ago. My husband never read them as a child but he has really enjoyed sharing the stories too.
My daughter loves the characters and we have talked about their personalities related to people she knows.
She is now building and Enid Blyton collection, The Famous Five and The Wishing Chair adventures are on the shelves just waiting to be explored and loved.
By Melissa Trevelion 10 Oct 2010
The only reason I became an avid reader was because I was introduced to Enid Blyton books as a child. Her books are not only imaginative and entertaining they contain good values and an appreciation of nature. The Magic FarawayTtree is a magical tree that have "wee folk" living in little cottages up and down the tree. I may be a "grown-up" now but some books stay with you forever

Apple rakes in record profits as recession fails to hit Cupertino.
Apple isn't shy when it comes to bragging about just how well its top end gadgets are doing. And the latest quarterly figures certainly make for pretty reading as far as Steve Jobs is concerned.
The iPad's growing dominance has been confirmed, with 4.19 million units shifted in three three months to the end of September. That takes total sales to around 7.5 million and counting since the slate's launch back in April.
The iPhone also did the business, despite antennagate, with 14.1 million blowers sold. That's a mind-blowing 91 per cent growth in the same quarter last year, showing that the iPhone 4 is still managing to kick it at the top.
Mac sales also surged, increasing by 27 per cent as 3.89 million were shifted. However, the iPod continued its decline in the face of growing smartphone competition, sliding by 11 per cent, with 9.05 million flying off the shelves.
Apple's quarterly profit was a cool $4.31 billion, showing that while it might charge high prices, it's still doing the business during these financially frisky times. Let us know what you think of Apple's results on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

U-Haul is contesting the condemnation by Johnson City of its downtown location in Washington County Circuit Court, claiming the property is not being taken under eminent domain for the public good but for private economic development and commercial enterprise.
In late July, commissioners voted 4-1, with Commissioner Clayton Stout voting in opposition, to condemn 114 W. King St., where U-Haul is doing business. The city informed the owner, Phoenix-based AMERCO Real Estate Co., that the property is a needed part of Johnson City's stormwater plan and that it would help relocate the business.
By that time, the city had worked for months to get U-Haul to accept an $820,000 offer for the property, and to undergo negotiations in which the city would help the company relocate within Johnson City. Public Works Director Phil Pindzola said at the time that communication had simply come to a standstill.
"It's my belief that every good-faith effort was made, especially by Phil Pindzola," said Erick Herrin, who along with James Epps is serving as co-counsel for Johnson City. "He tried to see if there could be a meeting of the minds. We want U-Haul to be in Johnson City. It is an important and valued business, and our goal is to help them relocate."
On Feb. 12, Herrin and Epps filed a petition for condemnation with the court, which cited the city's right to exercise eminent domain under state law. Attorneys Thomas Peebles and Mark Bell with Nashville's Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis fired back on Feb. 24.
The attorneys, who were not immediately available for comment Wednesday, admit the city has the power to exercise the right of eminent domain. However, they deny the city has the right to condemn the U-Haul property and have demanded a hearing in court. A date for that hearing has not been set.
The attorneys also say the compensation offered by the city is "totally inadequate" and have asked for a 12-person jury to decide the value. They also claim the taking of the property violates the company's Fifth Amendment right and that the proposed taking is not for public use but for financial incentives associated with the city's revitalization and redevelopment efforts.
Long-established plans call for a large detention pond on the property to capture overflow when King Creek floods. The long-range goal is to turn this area of downtown into what is being called the Event Commons, which would be traversed by a newly created path for King Creek running between Boone and Roan streets.
"The U-Haul property has, from the outset (of storm water plan), been recognized as an essential piece of land for downtown flood control," Herrin said. "We will be providing U-Haul with a lot of material at their request of the engineering studies regarding flood control. One map reflects that property as a 'bulge' of the flood problem back in 1939."
The two parties are in the process of exchanging documents. The next step will be a hearing in front of Judge Thomas J. Seeley at which the issue will be specifically over whether the city has a right to take the property.
The city has placed with the Circuit Court clerk $820,000 in cash, and this is where a jury trial could come into play.
"U-Haul can walk in there today and pick that up," Herrin said. "If they do, that's the end of the matter."
Right now, that doesn't seem likely to happen. And even if the company was to take the cash, it still would have a legal right to challenge the fair market value of the property, Herrin added. Should that be how U-Haul wants to play it, a jury would be called upon to determine a reasonable price.
In late December, Johnson City officials said they had done everything within reason and more to work out an amiable deal to buy U-Haul's downtown property and proceed with a major phase of its long-term storm water plan.
"The last communication I had was a telephone call in which they flatly said no — they would not accept a reasonable offer," Pindzola said at the time. "They just decided no. I then sent them a final offer, and they did not respond."
Joanne Fried, U-Haul International public relations director, has said AMERCO President Carlos Vizcarra has talked with City Manager Pete Peterson and expressed his desire to stay at the current location. She also said the company had submitted a $5 million plan to create a viaduct at the site but the city turned it down.
Pindzola said any plan for a $5 million viaduct "must be sitting on some desk other than mine."
The Johnson City Press has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to reach Vizcarra.
Under the city charter, which is supported by state law, municipalities have the right of eminent domain, which includes the condemnation and acquisition "for present or future public use." Tennessee law adds that the action is permissible should "the public welfare" require it.

Moby has grown an doubtful vanquish upon Britney Spears, a Sun reports.
The hip electronica artist pronounced he'd wed a former megastar as well as publication aim "in a heartbeat."
"She's similar to this Tennessee Williams comfortless figure," he said, according to a Sun. "The fatter she gets, a weirder she gets, a some-more we adore her. we found her tolerably delectable in a late '90s, though right away we would wed her in a heartbeat."
James Spears was declared co-conservator of his daughter's estate Feb. 1 after she was twice hospitalized in a psychiatric facility. Conservatorships have been postulated for people deemed incompetent to take caring of themselves or their affairs.
She has given shown signs of improvement, looming successfully upon a CBS sitcom "How we Met Your Mother." Her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has control of their dual immature sons.

Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to our Solar System. Alpha Centauri is
a system of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B and Proxima
Centauri. It is the brightest star system in the southern constellation of
Centaurus. It is 4.3 light years from us. It is also called Rigil Kentaurus (Rigil
Kent). The name is derived from the Arabic phrase Rijl al Kentaurus, meaning
'foot of the centaur'.
Painting is titled "Proxima's Planet".
Proxima is a hypothetical planet of our closest stellar neighbour Alpha Centauri.
Alpha Centauri Triple Star
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system consists of:
1. Alpha Centauri A: It is 4.36 light years from Earth and shines with a yellowish-white light. Alpha Centauri A is the fourth brightest star in the night sky. It is slightly larger and brighter than our Sun and like our Sun its spectral type is G2. Alpha Centauri A is the largest member of the Alpha Centauri System.
2. Alpha Centauri B: It is 4.36 light years from Earth and shines with an orangish-yellow-white light. It is slightly smaller and dimmer than our Sun and its spectral type is K1. Alpha Centauri B is the second largest member of the system.
3. Proxima Centauri: It is a red dwarf and is 4.22 years from Earth. It is smaller and dimmer than Alpha Centauri A and B and its spectral type is M5. Promima Centauri is sometimes also referred to as Alpha Centauri C.
Note: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B form a binary system together.
Did you know?
* In the Lost
in Space TV show of the 1960s, the destination of the Jupiter 2 was Alpha
Centauri, unfortunately they became lost in space.
* The closest stars to the Alpha Centauri system is the Sun (our Solar System) and Barnard's star (6.5 light years).
* Alpha Centauri is famous in the Southern Hemisphere as the outermost 'pointer' to the Southern Cross, but it is too far south to be visible in most of the northern hemisphere.

What is alcoholic liver disease?
Alcoholic liver disease is long-term damage to the liver from excessive alcohol use, leading to loss of liver function. The more alcohol consumed on a regular basis, and the longer the alcohol use lasts, the greater your risk of developing alcoholic liver disease.
Alcohol can damage the liver, leading to inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis) and swelling of the liver. Over time, this inflammation and damage progress to form scar tissue, resulting in cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis of the liver is the end stage of alcoholic liver disease.
Symptoms of alcoholic liver disease include abdominal pain, tenderness, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), fatigue, and nausea. After cirrhosis has developed, fluid buildup (edema) in the legs and fluid collection in the abdomen (ascites) are common. Bleeding problems may also occur. Malnutrition is a common complication.
Alcoholic liver disease is a serious condition that will continue to get worse if alcohol consumption is not discontinued, along with other essential treatment. Late-stage symptoms can also include confusion and mental status changes, excitability, impaired memory, and difficulty with movement.
Seek immediate medical care (call 911) for serious symptoms, such as constant weakness, dizziness, problems with thinking and memory, hallucinations, mood changes (especially agitation), extreme fatigue, fainting, fever (especially if combined with a swollen abdomen), vomiting (possibly with blood), numbness or tingling in the limbs, or sluggish or dragging movements.
Seek prompt medical care if you drink alcohol and experience any of the following symptoms, including pain or swelling in your abdomen or legs, dry mouth and excessive thirst, skin color changes, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, constant fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, or yellow skin or eyes. Also seek prompt medical care if you are being treated for alcoholic liver disease but mild symptoms recur or are persistent.
What are the symptoms of alcoholic liver disease?
Symptoms of alcoholic liver disease affect multiple body systems, including the skin, gastrointestinal system, brain and nervous system, and the blood. The most serious symptoms are related to encephalopathy (brain disorder) and affect levels of consciousness, memory, and cognitive abilities.
Common general symptoms of alcoholic liver diseaseSymptoms of alcoholic liver... Read more about alcoholic liver diseasesymptoms
What causes alcoholic liver disease?
Alcoholic liver disease is caused by long-term, extensive alcohol use. Not everyone who consumes a lot of alcohol gets alcoholic liver disease, but the more alcohol consumed on a regular basis, and the longer the alcohol use lasts, the greater your risk of developing alcoholic liver disease.
What are the risk factors for alcoholic liver disease?A number of factors may ... Read more about alcoholic liver diseasecauses
How is alcoholic liver disease treated?
The first and most crucial step in treatment is to completely discontinue your consumption of alcohol. If cirrhosis (scarring) has not yet begun, abstaining from alcohol actually can allow the liver to heal.
Alcohol cessation
The following measures can help support alcohol cessation:
- Attending alcohol rehabilitation programs
- Gett... Read more about alcoholic liver diseasetreatments
