Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
Starting a Braille transcription business is the perfect opportunity for an entrepreneur to provide a valuable service to the visually impaired community. Braille is a system developed in 1821 by Louis Braille that helps the blind read and write by feeling a "code" of raised dots. There is a huge market for transcribing standard texts into Braille. Unlike standard transcription or even more specialized medical transcription, which turns audio files into electronic text files, with Braille transcription you will typically take an electronic text file and create a Braille electronic file, although smaller publishers may want you to produce a physical product that will be mailed back to them. If they want a hardcopy you will need to obtain a Thermoform printer. If you already know how to transcribe into Braille, you can start accepting jobs immediately. However, if you are not familiar with this process, you can easily hire Braille transcriptionists to work for you. You may also choose to be trained and become certified. The genres of publications that need to be transcribed are endless. A few examples of materials your business could transcribe are fiction books, children's books, textbooks, books about health issues, and even magazines. Part of the Braille transcription process involves writing descriptions for the images on the page. Few people realize that there is quite a demand for mathematics Braille transcription and even for musical scores to be transcribed into Braille. Contacting publishing companies directly to see if any new publications have come out that they need transcribed is a great way to get started in this business. These companies will mostly likely send you a digital file which you will then transcribe and, depending on their process, either mail back the physical Braille version to them or send it to them in an altered electronic format. To make this business idea a success, you will need to not only provide excellent service but it's important to price your services competitively. The American Council of the Blind provides a list of transcribers online. Getting your business on this list would be a great way to reach out to the Braille community. It's also a great way to contact other transcribers to see how their businesses work and what rates they charge. Since you don't need a storefront to transcribe and most of the communication is done via the Internet, this is the perfect online business idea for someone who wants to work from home. You can also start this business part-time and ramp up to full-time as demand rises.

7th Heaven: And Away We Go (series finale. We're serious this time)
(S11E22) For some reason I have a case of deja vu right now. That must be due to the fact that 7th Heaven already had a series finale last year. We all thought that was the last we would see of the Camdens, at least in first-run episodes that is. However, by some miracle (or greed, you take your pick) the executives over at the brand new CW network decided to bring the show back one more time.
It was probably the biggest mistake they could've made. The 7th Heaven that premiered on the CW back in September barely resembled the show that was one of the most popular on the old WB. Other than Lucy and the twins (whose acting skills made the Olsen twins look like master thespians while they were on Full House) there was barely a Camden left. The rest of the cast was filled out with Martin and Sandy, and three new teens who became part of the extended family.
As if that wasn't enough damage to the series, the creators of the show decided to mess with the fans a bit more by giving Eric Camden a fatal heart disease; one that was bound to kill him at the end of the season. No one was happy with that bit of news, and I'm sure that the headquarters of the CW would have been burnt to the ground by an angry mob if the series finale ended up at Eric's funeral. Luckily, wiser heads prevailed and they made Eric heal up real fast last week.
Which brings us to this year's series finale. Look, I didn't expect it to surpass last year's finale where Matt, Mary and Lucy were all expecting twins: it was silly but cute and sweet at the same time. But, I thought they would have done something more than produce the suckfest that I watched. Good Lord, that whole finale could've been placed into a fifteen minute block of programming! Did the producers of the show really think that was going to satisfy the fans of the show?
To summarize, Eric's parents (the Colonel and Ruth) present him with a huge RV as a gift for overcoming his sickness. In an impetus moment Eric and Annie decide to toss all of their responsibilities away and hit the road to see America. However, since no one seems to be able to live in Glen Oak without Eric around everyone decides to join him on his journey. The whole episode revolves around him and the others getting ready for the trip. Exciting television, I tell ya!
That was basically the plot for the entire hour. There were some brief side stories, like Ruthie telling Martin that she's in love with T-Bone rather than him, and Lucy and Kevin wondering if Eric lied to them about his condition. Not much after that, though. While we're on the subject of Lucy, she turned into the most annoying person on the show. The entire season presented her as a shrilly, slightly crazed woman who seemed to be one step away from a nervous breakdown. Meanwhile, her husband Kevin seemed to be a bit whipped and just going along with the motions.
The thing that disappointed me most was the last five or so minutes of the finale. During the show a rule was passed out that one small suitcase and three personal possessions were allowed on their journey. The last part of the finale was Eric inspecting all of the travelers and seeing what three items they brought along. That's good television? I've seen more action on C-Span. Where was the emotion that a series finale should bring, especially one for a show that was a fan favorite for a decade? They could have done better.
On a scale between 1 and 7, where one is considered worst, I would love to give the season finale of 7th Heaven a rating of '1'. But, because I was a fan of the show when it was about just the Camdens, I will take that into consideration and give it a rating of
I await your opinion (or your bile-laced criticism) with anticipation.

FORT WORTH, Texas (SWBTS) – Messiah College professor John Fea testified that God is transforming lives through Southwestern's seminary extension program inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Darrington prison unit. Fea recently posted a blog about his experience lecturing at the Darrington extension on June 29.
"I left Darrington with a visible reminder of how learning and education can transform lives," Fea, associate professor of American history at Messiah College, said. "I felt blessed that I could participate in that transformation in some small way. I was pleased to give a lecture that was part of a program in which the dignity and worth of these men were respected and celebrated, despite their crimes."
"Southwestern's Darrington program," he added, "offers a beacon of light in a very, very dark place."

The new trailer for Shrek Forever After has hit, and it seems Dreamworks is kickin' it up a notch. Don't worry, it's still a kids' movie. I just try to find the most perverted part of everything and anything, and exploit it. I'm a big fan of the first Shrek, and even the second and third have their moments, but in Shrek Forever After I swear I can hear the staticy sound of crisp Benjamins passing over the mic as the cast counts their residuals. Far Away Land has grown tiresome, and the jokes about the fairy tale creatures we know and love fall flat. Will the Shrek series go out with a bang or a soft, wet fart? Find out May 21, 2010. Check out the donkey on cat action below.
Get your mind out of the gutter, I obviously meant cat. The new teaser trailer for Shrek Forever After has dropped, and it showcases all the crazy characters we've come to know and love over the previous three films. The question is, will this fourth installment be as unnecessary as the last one? Probably not since anything with a green ogre in it seems to rake in sh*t buckets full of cold, hard cheddar. And this Shrek is in 3D, so Donkey or his poop will probably get flung at us or something. It appears that in Shrek Forever After, what Dreamworks is calling THE FINAL CHAPTER, we're transported to a far far away land called Far, Far Away Land where Shrek has never existed. Donkey doesn't know who he is and Puss is overweight and lazy. Tehe. Husky cats are funny. Shrek Forever After hits theaters May 21st, 2010. Check out the teaser trailer after the jump.
After this next Shrek, there aren't going to be anymore Shreks, you guys. Which is bad news for fans of seeing computer-animated monsters lip-synching to "Sexy Back." USA Today has a ton of info about Shrek Forever After (the final Shrek), as well as the picture above.Here are the details:The first trailer will be attached to Avatar and presented in ass-puckerin' 3D.In the film, Shrek strikes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to regain his ogre mojo but "the pact goes awry and Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed. That translates into Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin ruling the kingdom."Jon Hamm, Kathy Griffin, and Kristin Schaal join the cast.Shrek spinoffs are not off limits.Dreamworks claims this is the end of all the ogreing but as long as there is "Sexy Back" or "Single Ladies" out there, there will be Shreks. (USA Today)
DIRECTOR: Mike MitchellCAST: Mike Myers; Eddie Murphy; Cameron Diaz; Antonio Banderas; Regis PhilbinSYNOPSIS: The ogre tries to get his roar back with the help of Rumpelstiltskin.

A New Literary Landmark
On Thursday, November 29th, the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City will celebrate author and longtime Cathedral librarian Madeleine L'Engle with the dedication of the Diocesan House library as a Literary Landmark. L'Engle's books for readers of all ages were profoundly influenced by her Episcopal faith, belief in science, and strong appreciation for the inner lives of children. This year marks the 50th publishing anniversary of her Newbery Medal-winning book A Wrinkle in Time.
November 29th would have been L'Engle's 94th birthday. During the dedication, Leonard S. Marcus, children's literature historian and author of Listening for Madeleine: A Portrait of Madeleine L'Engle in Many Voices, will speak about L'Engle and her connection to the Cathedral.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- More than 100 dogs kept in deplorable conditions at a place dubbed the "Sanctuary of Sorrow."
In a story that spans three states, Contact 13 Chief Investigator Darcy Spears shows us the dogs' cross-country journey, and how landing near Las Vegas gave them a last lease on life.
"This was a nightmare in the making had we not been able to get them here," said Hillarie Allison of RUFFF House sanctuary.
The fact that these dogs are here is almost a miracle.
PHOTOS: Rescue animals in need of homes
"They came from living in absolutely deplorable conditions, in their own waste, in darkness, no exercise, rarely fed, no fresh water, no fresh air," described Pati Winn.
124 dogs are beginning a new life at RUFFF Sanctuary in Golden Valley, Arizona. That's near Kingman, an hour and a half southeast of Las Vegas.
They came from the Olympic Animal Sanctuary in Forks, Washington, 140 miles northwest of Seattle, where they lived inside a dilapidated warehouse.
The dogs were supposedly kept at that Washington facility because they were dangerous, aggressive and unadoptable.
But we met some who are clear evidence that that was not the case for all the dogs, and many could have gone to good homes long ago.
Join the Facebook conversation here
Olympic Animal Sanctuary was founded by Steve Markwell, who spoke briefly to our Seattle sister station, KOMO, last September.
Jeff Burnside with KOMO 4 News asked, "Let me ask you, when you look over at that facility, is that really the vision that you had in mind when you started?"
"It's a starting point," said Markwell.
"It's a starting point?" asked Burnside.
"Yea. Anyway, I really don't want to do an interview," answered Markwell.
When Contact 13 got involved, Markwell didn't return any of our multiple calls or emails.
Photos, shot last year by volunteers, show the shocking conditions the dogs endured. The former volunteers describe Olympic Animal Sanctuary as:
"A hell hole, for these animals - an absolute nightmare."
"It was just so shocking."
"It's horrifying."
"It's a torture chamber."
Forks Police investigated an animal cruelty complaint last year.
Their photos and reports document dogs with "very minimal space," "an overwhelming odor of urine" and little to no exercise. "The majority of crated dogs didn't have access to water."
Markwell told police the dogs ate every other day, fed only unrefrigerated, raw animal parts.
Though a citation was written, it was never issued.
Police found no violations of law.
"It broke my heart," said Pati Winn, who used to live in Las Vegas. She moved to Washington and volunteered at Olympic Animal Sanctuary, hoping to help improve conditions there.
But all she saw were dogs like Crockett, who looked like they were going crazy.
She also found Barry, a St. Bernard, dead next to his dry water bowl, "This beautiful creature lying dead next to a bone dry water bowl. It didn't have to be."
News coverage in Seattle and protests in Forks led to a middle-of-the-night getaway by Markwell in late December.
For about 1,000 miles and over four days, the dogs were confined to the back of a semi-trailer in cages stacked three high, all the way to the back.
Their cages, made of wood and wire, were barely big enough. One dog was so desperate to get out, it chewed a hole the size of its own head right through the wood.
"Mr. Markwell was terrified and had no destination," explained Hillarie Allison.
Markwell made a phone call from the road to Robert Misseri with Guardians of Rescue, who convinced him to drive the dogs to Hillarie Allison's Arizona sanctuary.
When you saw that truck open up, what were your thoughts?" asked Darcy Spears.
"I was heartbroken that the animals would have to live like that. And then thrilled that I was going to be able to facilitate getting them out of there and into a life," said Allison.
They're building kennels, recruiting volunteers, and putting out pleas for help.
"We need rescue groups who have some experience to step forward and help us and adopt a dog from us. Adopt one, two. There's some great dogs still here. Great dogs," said Robert Misseri.
Although RUFFF House will likely just be a temporary home for most of them, Pati Winn said, "I see life again. I see spirit back in their eyes. I see hope."
Some of the dogs were near death when they arrived. Many hadn't eaten in weeks.
They've been in the care of a Henderson vet, and that's where we'll take you Friday evening as we continue this special report at 6 p.m.
In conjunction with this story, you'll find a photo gallery of many of the dogs available for adoption.
If you'd like to inquire about adoption or if you'd just like to donate money for their care, call Guardians of Rescue at 1-888-287-3864 or visit their website.
Keep in mind, many of the dogs have issues and need experienced care from rescue groups.
But some are ready for a loving family.
Aside from the Olympic Animal Sanctuary dogs, there are 150 other dogs and cats at RUFFF House who need forever homes.
Most of the OAS dogs have to go to experienced rescue groups for rehabilitation before they can be adopted out to members of the public. But the RUFFF House animals are immediately adoptable.

Raking leaves, working around the house burns those calories!
Combining house work and yard work with exercise can put a better light on exercising an being activity.
Even if you dont get around to going to the gym, Stay busy and active & you still burn mad calories. This I didnt know until I started tracking my nutrition and fitness on sparkpeople. Ive burned more calories in 45 minutes of yard work than 2 days at the gym. I love yard work now! 244
Getting the kids outside is a good way to sneak in exercise. I have my son garden or do yard work with me (huge yard). When I want to stop he still wants to finish what we started and vise-versa.

That's what this Deadpsin article claims, and it's a crazy fucking story, if true. And one that could even affect Manti's draft status, considering his character is a big reason as to why he's been so highly regarded.

Was Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend a hoax?

Typical news day where I live.
This is a discussion on Very Bad-Multiple Killings In France within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; http://news.yahoo.com/french-alps-sh...opstories.html French Alps Shooting Leaves 4 Dead, 2 Little Girls Survive For eight hours, a 4-year-old girl lay under the body of a female believed ...
French Alps Shooting Leaves 4 Dead, 2 Little Girls Survive
For eight hours, a 4-year-old girl lay under the body of a female believed to be her mother, beside another unidentified female with a Swedish passport, in the back-seat of a BMW in a car park near the town of Chevaline in the French Alps.
In the front seat of the vehicle, a man believed to be her father was slumped over, shot dead. A few feet away from the vehicle, an 8 year old thought to be her sister was shot in the head three times and badly beaten, but still alive.
The 4-year-old suffered no physical injuries. Police have no motive, suspects or weapon, although they believe the shooter used an automatic pistol, which are banned in France.
The main witness was a British cyclist and ex-RAF officer who discovered the scene near Lake Annecy Wednesday evening. He had been passed by another cyclist on the climb that leads to the parking lot where the shooting took place.
The older child is in critical condition in the hospital in Grenoble with a fractured skull. Maillaud told The Associated Press that the girl would be operated on today and her life is out of danger.

Looks like a hit to me. Cyclist was just a lose end. Wrong place at wrong time. I am curious who dad worked for under the previous regime.

I'm sure, if the murderer had known that, he'd have forgotten about the whole idea....believed the shooter used an automatic pistol, which are banned in France...

Rihanna Talks About Taking Chris Brown Back!
We have all been there, wanting to prove something to your ex, show them what life is really like without us! Do not lie everyone has played mind games at some point in their life! Here is what RiRi said about taking Chris Brown back in an interview with Rolling Stone…
"I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. So when that (stuff) came back it hit me like a ton of bricks. Like, God, you've got to be kidding right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn't bury the way I felt….I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
I do not knock Rihanna for taking him back happiness is key! Have you ever taken your ex back!?

Good studies! Also like seeing you attempting mecha, hard subject but worth it! I must become good at that someday! Also 4chin lol
Dude! These sketches from #10 are awesome! And the ballpoint pen control on #7,really beautiful!
Thanks Gibi! Here's a quick sketch and a not so quick sketch I did the other day. Used iphone 3gs to take pictures..scanner still seems to be on strike.
-edit- yes, first guy has very awkward hand
Hey there's an interesting style going on here. I like the vibe I get from this last post (the image that's now your avatar)... funkayy
keep drawing!
isokarhu, thanks! I was in a funky mood lol.
Here's 2 more. Shaun White has been posted in the finally finished forums, but I like how it came out so I'm putting it here. It was my final project for Introduction to Graphic Design, I'm turning it in today actually.
The water color was my final for Drawing 2 last semester, we bought pictures of kids in 3rd world countries (for charity), replicated them onto canvas using any medians we wanted, then mailed them to the kid. It was my 2nd watercolor I've ever done.
Welcome to the most awesome forum! Cool sketches you got there.
You can get avatar for your thread, editing 1st post and attaching image to it (with attachment manager).
Also if you want to add comment to each image you attach, during preparing the post you can use the paperclip (can find between other buttons, like bold, italic etc.) to put picture into the text.
Good luck and keep drawing each and every day, that's the way to awesomness
JUST GOT MY 24HD! ITS SO COOL! This is my first speed painting EVER! I just did a simple character design to get a feel for the tablet. Here it is, more to come very soon!
Another quick sketch playing with color.
Besides some school work for drawing and design classes.. I rarely finish anything. I'm trying to break that habit, and build a nice portfolio.
Here is a big project (20x10 300dpi) I've started, and am dead set on completing if it kills me.
At this point I feel stuck.. Any help or suggestions would be awesome! Thanks.
Wow seems like that tablet has really been treating you well there!

Good tutorial on Digi painting and in general info.
You might want to plop in the values first before blending. If you blend too much with opacity your stuff starts to look all messy and muddy. Flatten and simplify.
That's a great link for me cause I want to try to study a little bit DP !
Nice hatching, I really like your profile picture, good start with the DP it looks interesting,
cause I want to try it too !

Try basing your drawings from imagination completely from reference. Doing this keeps things interesting and at the same time you learn something. An example is to take a box and draw it. Then draw something that fits inside this box, such as a book or school bag. This helps with learning perspective. Or you can draw your phone, and add your own designs such as to make it sci-fi or steam punk.
To learn anatomy, one way is to draw real people from photos, then use an anatomy book to draw the underlying muscles after you have drawn the outline of the people.

'The Big Bang Theory' - 'The Plimpton Stimulation' Recap
I knew, of course, that Sheldon had no romantic interest in Dr. Plimpton, but when she showed up and was basically the girl version of him, I started to get a little worried. I thought we were going to have an awkward episode filled with her making advances on a clueless Sheldon. Luckily, that never became an issue, as she went after every single guy except for him.
Leonard's line, "she let me," when he was explaining his actions to Penny, was priceless. First off, I'm glad that Penny is having just as difficult a time with the breakup as Leonard is, if not more so. Secondly, "she let me" is honestly the best excuse Leonard could have possibly given. Ordinarily, his ability to move on from Penny so quickly would be suspect, but that reasoning coupled with the fact that he already had a giant nerd-crush on Elizabeth, made it completely believable.
The whole "Raj can only talk to women when drunk" thing is kind of annoying, but I did enjoy how they tied in the cold from the beginning of the episode and had that be the reason he could talk to Elizabeth. Sooner or later though, they're really going to have to drop that pretext entirely.
The other big news of the episode, which was pretty much glossed over, was the fact that Wolowitz and Bernadette broke up. I was really enjoying that relationship, and being able to see Wolowitz as more of a human being and less of a creepy perv. Unfortunately, that's all over -- and we don't even get so much as a breakup scene.
Some of my favorite lines from this week's episode:
Leonard: "Are you planning on kidnapping a woman?"
Sheldon: "Sarcasm?"
Leonard: "Yes, but mixed with a little bit of concern."
"I have a lady friend who will be staying with me for a few days. I want her to feel at home; I also bought scented soaps, pantyhose, Midol, calcium chews, and what is apparently a yogurt specifically designed to regulate the female bowel." - Sheldon
"Dr. Cooper, thank goodness! I completely forgot your address, but then I remembered that I had written it on my hand. Lucky for me, I didn't confuse it with what I had written on my other hand, which were the coordinates for a newly-discovered neutron star, because if I tried to go there, I'd be crushed by hypergravity." - Dr. Plimpton
Leonard: "I think any university would want you -- except, of course, any university that had already had you, because they would have already wanted you, before they, you know, got you."
Sheldon: "From the mind that brought you 'hi-lo.'"
Dr. Plimpton: "What if there's a disaster that destroys all of the USB ports?"
Sheldon: "Then there's really no reason to live, is there?"
Leonard: "Well, it wasn't my fault."
Sheldon: "The implication being that you somehow tripped and fell into her lady parts?"
Leonard: "You still have a cold?"
Raj: "Maybe, but I don't care. That's the good thing about NyQuil -- it's like, 10% booze. I call it the 'nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, so you can talk to girls medicine.'"
"Go away! She wants New Delhi, not Kosher Deli!" - Raj

Chris Padilla recently hipped me to some visually striking animated spots from the 1970s. Chris actually showed some of these commercials theatrically as part of his late-70s theatrical release Fantastic Animation Festival. The spots have an exciting spirit of innovation and are in a wholly different league from the mainstream work being produced in the industry during that period. Some of the ads are notable for their groundbreaking use of computer animation, while others use processed live-action to achieve an effect similar to Bob Sabiston's techniques on Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly. The agency art director for the Levi's campaign was Bay Area-based artist Chris Blum.

Mark Kausler, of It's the Cat fame, animated on the "Rodeo" commercial. I asked him if he could share a few memories:
Duck Soup did that one, Roger Chouinard directed it. The late, great Mel Sommer was the art director at Duck. It's mostly processed live action (the cowboys), Xeroxed onto cels and then we animated the clothes as if they were herds of cattle. I did the opening scenes, it took a lot of hours to do that shot where the clothes "fan out" as the cowboys ride alongside. In the end, I don't like this spot very much, too much work for too little pay. Animating disembodied pants and shirts was no fun at all, no eyes, no personality. I guess now computers would "animate" stuff like this, they can have it!

Background Information
Sandy Creek State Forest encompasses 538 acres and is located in the town of Sandy Creek in northern Oswego County. Activities such as, hunting, trapping and nature observation are all popular at this State Forest, which sits on the edge of the Tug Hill Plateau of New York State. Sandy Creek is a forest without designated recreation trails.
Given the remote setting of this property, there are many opportunities for visitors to view a wide variety of wildlife. Turkey and ruffed grouse, as well as a wide variety of song birds and raptors, are quite common within the forest. Deer, weasel, fox, coyote, muskrat and squirrels frequent the forest; thus, hunting and trapping are popular activities. Many different amphibians and reptiles flourish in this area, including the marbled salamander, red-spotted newt, eastern painted turtle, common snapping turtle, rat snake and five-lined skink
The land that encompasses Sandy Creek State Forest was last molded twelve thousand of years ago with the receding of the last massive glacier that covered the ground. The rocks that were left behind, shale and sandstone, underlie the area and help define the region. High levels of precipitation from snow melt and rain supply an abundance of wetlands, streams and rivers, all noted for their pristine character.
The Roosevelt Administration developed the State Reforestation Law of 1929 and the Hewitt Amendment of 1931 in order to authorize the Conservation Department to acquire land, by gift or purchase, for reforestation areas. These State Forests, consisting of no less than 500 acres of contiguous land, were to be "forever devoted to reforestation and the establishment and maintenance thereon of forests for watershed protection, the production of timber and other forest products, recreation and kindred purposes" (Article 9, Titles 5 and 7, Environmental Conservation Law).
The majority of the land that now makes up Sandy Creek State Forest was originally purchased by New York State during the 1930s for reforestation purposes. Prior to this point, the landscape had been comprised of a matrix of crop lands, open fields, forest, meadows and homesteads. Unfortunately for many farmers, the upland soils that are commonly found in this area are thin, highly acidic, and predominately rocky and course. When taken together with the long, harsh winters which typically ravage the area, it is easy to understand why many of the early farms were unsuccessful.
Since the area was purchased by the state Sandy Creek Forest has been managed to promote forest health, timber production, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. Today, the forest provides diverse economic, ecological and recreational services to the people of New York State.
Field Notes
Sandy Creek State Forest consists of a mix of mature natural hardwood, and northern hardwood-hemlock cover types. Species such as red maple, black cherry, white ash, sugar maple, American beech, yellow birch, red oak and hemlock decorate the woods with their foliage. Conifer plantations planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the 1930s and Department planting through the 1950s can also be found throughout the property, consisting of mainly white pine, red pine, and spruce.
The responsibility of managing State Forests to enhance and maintain a diverse and healthy forest ecosystem for both society and wildlife falls to DEC Foresters. They strategically employ forest management principles to develop a balanced mix of young, middle-aged, and old (late successional) forest types that will continue to benefit New Yorkers for many generations to come.
Sandy Creek State Forest is part of the Eastern Lake Ontario Unit Management Plan. The plan is currently being written by DEC staff. A Unit Management Plan (UMP) guides the DEC's land management activities on several geographically related forests for a ten-year period, although a number of goals and objectives in the plan focus on a much longer time period. Each UMP addresses specific objectives and actions for public use and forest management.
***Stay Safe- Bring A Friend When Out In The Forest***
Sandy Creek State Forest may be accessed by taking NY I-81 to exit 36. Follow NY Route 11 North until Canning Factory Road and turn right. Follow Canning Factory until Orton Road and turn left. There is parking on the side of Orton Road. There is also parking access by taking Orton Road to Cummings Road.
State Forest Regulations
Anyone enjoying the use of this State Forest must observe the following rules which protect them and the forest environment:
- Do not litter. Carry out what you carry in. Burying of refuse is prohibited.
- If you build a fire, do so with care and use wood from dead and downed trees only. Never leave a fire unattended. Three foot radius must be cleared around fire.
- All motorized vehicles are restricted to access roads posted as motor vehicle trails. Off road use of motorized vehicles, such as, trail bikes and four-wheel drives is not allowed, except where specifically permitted by signs, posted notice or by DEC Permit.
- Camping for more than three nights or in a group of ten or more requires a permit from a Forest Ranger. Camping is prohibited within 150 feet of water, roads or trail.
- Permanent structures, including tree stands or blinds, are not allowed.

Episode #1510
Son of God & Philip Seymour Hoffman's Last Role
Friday, March 07, 2014
For the first time in a decade, Jesus is starring on the big screen, and the creators of Son of God are determined to avoid the bad blood from last time. Producers of the final Hunger Games movie attempt to resurrect Philip Seymour Hoffman, digitally. And Kurt Andersen talks with the composer Harold Budd, whose music is subtle, contemplative, and unabashedly beautiful.
Philip Seymour Hoffman's Final Performance Will Be Digitally Created
When Hoffman died last month, he was still in the process of filming the final The Hunger Games movie. The film's producers are attempting a 21st century solution: creating new footage of Hoffman using computer animation.
New Year's Resolution: Move to the City, Start a Band
What is the creative project you want to tackle in 2014? Gabriel Walker, from Maysville, Kentucky, has played guitar for 40 years. But his music got sidelined by a career in sound design, producing other peoples' music instead of performing his own. "I became fearful of taking the risk," ...
From Donald Trump to the Son of God
Mark Burnett pretty much invented reality TV as we know it: Survivor, The Apprentice, The Voice. But his latest hit was the 10-hour miniseries The Bible — out of which he's carved a feature film on the life of Jesus.
Philadelphia Rapper Sets Unsolved Mystery to Music
For more than two decades, an unknown artist has been leaving a message in the streets of Philadelphia. The message is has been cut by hand into a linoleum tile, and pressed into the asphalt by the weight of passing cars. The Toynbee tiles, as they're called, have become a thing in ...
Harold Budd Isn't Afraid to Make Pretty Music
At 77, Harold Budd's career has taken him from bebop to avant-garde minimalism to the lush, atmospheric soundscapes for which he's become famous. Critics call Budd "the godfather of ambient music," an honorific he rejects.

CORNWALL, Ont. - The Cornwall Motor Speedway held in 2012 Banquet of champion at the beautiful South Stormont Community Hall this past Saturday as a full room of guests gathered to celebrate and rememorize last years events.
Dale Planck left the banquet with hands full of new and shiny trophies. Planck had a banner year at Cornwall in 2012, winning his third Jiffy Auto Service Modified Championship and also capturing the coveted Canadian National Series championship. He is the second driver after Lafrance in 2011 to win both titles in the same year. Laurent Ladouceur had a great season finishing second to Planck in the points title and also winning the Doiron Engineering Cup Heat Championship.

Many of the most famous science fiction movies on this list emerged during a fifteen-year period between 1968 and 1983, which may be considered a golden age of sorts for cinema science fiction. There are classics that came before and and after that period and certain special effects have advanced remarkably since that time. Still, plenty of fans probably have a few favorites from that period on their own list of the most famous science fiction movies.

Select your Radius Arm vehicle from the list below.
Select your Radius Arm vehicle from the list below.
Without the help of various suspension system parts, your vehicle would probably just rock, bounce, and sway on the road. These moves would probably be useful on the dance floor but not on the highway. A dancing, unstable vehicle is not only a major road hazard, but it also takes away your riding comfort. Feeling dizzy and carsick? It's probably because your car's radius arm is not doing its job properly. This part is a crucial suspension link that controls the wheels' longitudinal motion. Reinforced by bushings, this link is connected to the axle on one end and to your vehicle's chassis on the other. To better control wheel motion, the link is strategically mounted in front of the wheels. In this position, the part will have the power to resist dives under sudden braking forces and wheel hops during acceleration. Usually made of lightweight aluminum or stamped steel, this vital suspension link greatly improves ride quality and comfort. When this part becomes defective, vehicle handling may be compromised as dives and wheel hops would not be regulated. Watch out for signs of damage so that you can immediately have the part replaced.--end--Make your driving life much easier—get a new radius arm for your suspension system. The old, damaged one won't do any good and would only set you up for pricey repairs in the future. You don't want that, do you? Well, start clicking away now and purchase a replacement here at Auto Parts Warehouse. Our comprehensive selection is packed with all the suspension parts you need to improve the quality of your ride, so there's no more reason for you to endure any uncomfortable motions while driving.

This is a lovely old 19th century round brass bed warmer or foot warmer, has a brass screw cap with metal handle. I believe this to be English because I bought it there about 30 years ago, it is not marked but the old ones usually were not. These were used to warm up the bed in bedrooms that were often unheated, and also in carriages to keep your feet warm and cozy, under your lap robe. Because these were made to be used, there are a few dents and spots, but they just add character to the piece. It still holds water and will clean up to a fine shine if that is your choice. It measures 9 1/2" across, by 5 1/4 high. This would look so lovely on the hearth where it could capture the firelight's glimmer. Please be sure to click on photo for enlargement and more pictures so that you can really enjoy this lovely piece. Thank you for shopping with us and please take a minute or two to check out some of our other treasures.

[MUSIC] Hello. My name's Buddy Cales, I've been a fire investigator for the last 30 plus years in both the public and the private sectors. I've also been an instructor of the FDIC since 1997. And while, over that course of time, I thought a variety of fire investigation related topics there. What I wanna talk to you about for a few minutes this morning is that exterior examination that you conduct as the fire investigator when you're called to a scene to determine the origin and the cause. How comprehensive and how important. Important that 360 exterior examination should be. It is governed obviously by the scope and the intensity of the fire. But the exterior of the building can tell you a lot. You should not overlook taking the time to go around the entire building and all six sides of that exterior of the structure. The four walls, the level below and the level above. The exterior of the building can provide you with a myriad of important information, oftentimes leading you in a possible direction as to the origin and, potentially, the cause of the fire that you're called upon to investigate. Documenting, through photos and in your words, in the reports that you write. The exterior examination that you conduct in the, at the building should be just as important you as what you do on the inside. It should be just as important to you as where and how that fire starts the origin and the cause of the fire. Each step that you perform at the fire investigation scene has meaning and you should approach each one of those steps with just as much importance and da, determination. Appreciate your time today. And remember whatever you do, at any scene you respond to, safety should be your number one priority. Thanks again.

As every homeowner knows, water flows in mysterious ways. A small crack in a gutter in one place may lead to an interior leak and water damage two rooms over and a floor below. In much the same way -- though in a positive sense -- an ambitious, broad-scale initiative by the city of Philadelphia to address major stormwater-system deficiencies is seeping into many avenues of reform and creativity, with payoffs far beyond its fulfillment of a federal consent decree.
In this space back in 2010, I described the $8 billion plan being reviewed by the Environmental Protection Agency to meet Philadelphia's obligations an environmental problem faced by many older cities that have combined sewer and stormwater systems: During heavy rainfall, the stormwater that normally flows through a water-treatment system overwhelms it, releasing raw sewage and filthy urban stormwater into rivers and streams.
Where is local government going? In an era of tumultuous change and declining trust in government, cities and counties face major attitudinal and demographic forces, including competition for resources devoted to the "graying" and the "browning" of America and population and generational changes in government workforces. And there's another, perhaps overarching, challenge: the difficulty taxpayers have in thinking about government as experimental when experimental thinking will be exactly what will be needed in the coming decades.
Certainly challenges like those -- not to mention those as yet unforeseen -- are going to do much to shape the future direction of local government. They were among the forces identified by a panel of experts in a recent live-streamed discussion I moderated. Co-sponsored by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and the Alliance for Innovation (AFI), the webcast was part of a larger "Next Big Thing" project sponsored by AFI.
Feb. 9, 2016, looms larger by the day. That's the date of the iconic New Hampshire presidential primary, famous for dashing the dreams of so many White House wannabes and vaulting previously obscure candidates onto center stage.
So is this also the day reserved for loyal Granite State Democrats and Republicans to reflect carefully on their respective parties' bedrock principles as they weigh who their party's standard-bearers deserve to be? Think again.
It is difficult to turn to Twitter, or read the newspaper if you are still so inclined, without being bombarded with stories of management failures and performance shortfalls at all levels of government. At the federal level, serious failures have triggered scandals in agencies as diverse as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Office of Personnel Management and even the Secret Service.
The feds are by no means alone. Writing for Governing earlier this year, Katherine Barrett and Richard Greene highlighted six major management challenges facing states and localities this year that can apply to federal agencies as well: cybersecurity, replacing retiring baby boomers, managing big data, catching up on deferred maintenance, overseeing private contractors and making transparency work.
Cars that can communicate with each other to avoid collisions. Thermostats that can be controlled from thousands of miles away with a smartphone. Industrial machinery that alerts its operators when maintenance is needed. Coffeepots that talk to alarm clocks. All of these make one thing clear: The definition of a computer is changing, again.
The continued evolution toward cheaper processors and faster networks has enabled a shift from desktop workstations to mobile phones and, now, to everyday objects, inspiring the term "Internet of Things" (IoT). Almost any device can be Internet-enabled, linking it to additional computing power and analytic capabilities that make it "smart."

'Compliments are a dangerous thing in literature'
Compliments are usually seen as a good thing, but journalist-cum-novelist Manu Joseph thinks otherwise.
"The most dangerous thing in the literary world is compliments. If you don't have a perception of what you are, you will be lost," said Joseph Thursday while speaking at the Writers Etc, a literary platform, at the Alliance Francaise here.
A journalist by profession, Joseph came out with his first novel "Serious Man" in 2010 and it was short-listed for the Man Asian Literary Prize and won The Hindu Literary Prize.
Joseph says penning a novel is different from the journalistic style of news-writing.
"A journalist, while writing, can't be the character of his write-up, he can't identify with the character. Whereas, while writing a novel there is a freedom to bring out the characters the way you desire," said the author, whose second novel is titled "The Illicit Happiness of Other People".
Joseph has a way with words and his ability to inject dark humour in his novels is considered to be his forte. His writings have often showed humour in extremely serious situations.
He said: "To me, humour is nothing but a form of accuracy otherwise it is clownish. Raw seriousness is an accomplishment and even a dead-pan description can define seriousness."

This exhibition explores the genius of actress and stand-up comic Phyllis Diller. Her comedic persona -- complete with zany costumes and raucous laugh -- pushed the boundaries and traditional values of her 1950s audience and broke the gender barrier present in stand-up comedy at the time. She paved the way for future generations of female comics. Objects on view include Diller's 48-drawer steel filing cabinet containing more than 50,000 jokes and gags, wig, wrist-length gloves, ankle boots, and bejeweled cigarette holder.

The Best Pet Grooming and Daycare in Toronto
The best pet grooming and daycare in Toronto knows your fur babies are not mere "pets." Pft. No, your dog is more than just the sum of his
paws parts, and rightfully deserves access to all of life's luxuries when you're away (cold water, things that squeak, and plentiful naps, to name a few). Many of the daycares on this list come equipped with live webcam feeds, too, alongside groomers that take pet-primping to spa-milk-bath-levels (and pawdicures, of course). Head to any of these spots, and your dog will have the cleanest ears and derpiest slobbery grin around. Here is the list of the best pet grooming and daycare in Toronto.

Urban Dog

Urban Dog has a total of 5000 square feet of play space for your pooch, complete with filtered water, splash pools, and helpful non-slip flooring, plus a live webcam feed for those pet parents who can't resist checking in on their best friends.

Pawfect Spa
A pawfect name, no? Pawfect Spa promises grooming and pampering at both its downtown and uptown locations, with a variety of grooming and spa packages from which to choose. You can indulge your dog in a Dead Sea mud scrub, a milk bath, of massaging de-shedding treatment, or else go with the standard cut and ear clean. Either way, your pup will leave sporting a brand new bow or bandana. Pricing depends on breed and size. More »
The Wagging Tail
The Wagging Tail has a great newly renovated outdoor playground that is sure to get a few, well, "wagging" tails.

Groomery Spa and Bistro
While the shop itself might be a relative newbie on the Toronto pet spa scene, owner and top (dog) stylist Lawrence Le Voir certainly is not. With his trusty pal and superstar model, Joker, by his side, Lawrence will prim and prep your pet while he or she enjoys a good look out over the Queen and Sherbourne action. Isn't staring out the window just the tops? Best to call the Groomery to inquire about pricing. More »

K9 Toronto performs Cat grooming
Hi Moi,
Its called Mobile Dog Grooming. K9 Toronto does that
Call us at 416-756-4488
Linda is great. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
The poodle in the picture was not groomed in Toronto, the picture was taken at Woofstock.
I also groom my pet for that I purchased dog grooming kit from Indianpetstore.com Daily give him bath with shampoo.
Just wondering if anybody has taken their dog to Tail Waggers in the Junction for daycare, boarding or grooming?
I have guilt for leaving my dog there while i went on vacation. There were many red flags that i ignored. I have witnessed alcoholic beverages being consumed during business hours, on many occasions when I went to pick up my dog, the owner Jane was unaware that my dog wasn't even on the premises ( she was often with her husband in his van) and on one occasion, she presented me with the wrong shih tzu ( oblivious to the fact that it wasn't mine). I have witnessed jim, the owner, driving with my dog on his lap. She has been missing for almost 7 months now. It has been hell. I would not want to see another person go through this. Avoid K925 at all costs
What an awful business! They clearly don't care enough about dog safety, nor are they adult enough to own up to their mistakes. Because of this we don't use boarding companies anymore and hire someone to stay in our home.
We have full service all breed grooming and daycare.
Been grooming for 15 years and still luvin it!

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
A messenger and authorized representative of the sender. Broadly used in Scripture, it refers to many followers of Jesus who spread his message. More precisely, however, it applies to the original twelve men chosen by Jesus to be his immediate aides. They are referred to as disciples during the period in which he was instructing the, but following his ascension they are always called Apostles. After Pentecost they spoke and acted with confidence and assurance in teaching others what he had taught them and in assuming leadership roles in the early church. They were ordained priests by Christ at the Last Supper and were commissioned by him to preach the Gospel to all mankind (Matthew 28:19-20). (Etym.

I'm in need of assistance here. See, it's Friday, and I've got fun waiting for me, but I have un-fun things to do first. And, perhaps because I'm not very grown-up yet, or because I'm merely human, or for whatever reason, I'm lacking motivation to get the stuff done I have to do, so that I can move on to the things I want to do.
I want to skip to the end, like eating ice cream for breakfast.
Not that I've ever done that. And, hypothetically speaking, if I had done that, it's really not like music would have helped. Hypothetically, of course.
But today, it feels like music would help. The problem: ever since music started costing money (i.e.- napster became illegal and disappeared/went legit), I haven't really added any songs to my music collection. And, curiously enough, the music I found inspiring back then (uhm, at... 14?) is not really doing it for me any more.
Enter you. What music really gets you inspired, gets you moving? I'm talking fast-paced, exciting, non-explicit music that I can rock out to on my headphones whilst getting crap done. I recently got a gift card in the mail from the Blood Donation Center or Red Cross or somewhere for 5 free songs, to thank me for giving blood. Hi, have we met? I'm an American Hero.
|Yes I have a Zune.
No, I don't wish it was an iPod.
Crazy Train (Black Sabbath)
Foreplay/Long Time (Boston)
Eye of the Tiger (Journey)
I Got a Feeling & Pump It (Black-Eyed Peas)
Rock You Like a Hurricane (Scorpions)
We Built This City (Starship)
Centerfold (The J. Geils Band)
So this should give you an idea of where I'm starting from. Yes, I know only two of those songs were actually recorded while I was alive. I can't help that I'm ahead of my time. I'm not opposed to new music, I just never really know what to look for. I only know about the 'Peas because of Sunday/Monday night football.
Grateful for your assistance,
