When Size Matters
Nothing creates excitement—or smashes adoption records—quite like the 'mega' event
by Jim Baker
A strange and wonderful phenomenon is cropping up at a growing number of shelters and rescue groups around the country. They're running out of animals.
"That's probably been one of the top five moments in my life—to be able to stand in a dog kennel area, and just hear the air exchangers. No whimpering, no barking, no breathing. Nothing," recalls Suzan Bell, executive director of the Bangor Humane Society.
It was March 30, and the Maine shelter was one of many participating in the ASPCA's Mega Match-a-thon. It was supposed to last all weekend, but they'd had to cut it short.
"The last adoptable animal left our building at 12:30 p.m. Saturday," Bell says. They'd adopted out 109 animals in a day and a half.
Other shelters and rescue groups are gleefully reporting the same thing—running out of adoptable animals, or smashing their adoption records, thanks to turbocharged events that typically generate hundreds of adoptions, attracting hordes of people with waived- or lowered-fee adoptions, a party-like atmosphere, and the chance to be part of something special.
Mentor Me
Nobody does the "mega" adoption event quite like the Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane), a foster-based rescue group in Oklahoma City. In 2010 and 2011, the group put on four such events, thanks to a sponsorship from PetSmart Charities.
Each of these "Midnight Woofness" events kicked off at 12 a.m. on a Friday, and continued uninterrupted till 5 p.m. Sunday—a 41-hour marathon. Each event also topped the previous one, breaking national records for PetSmart mega-adoptions: 388 and 490 in 2010, followed by 565 and 586 the next year.
"It's really about making it fun, and making it cool, getting the community on board with your overall mission of ending euthanasia," says Christy Counts, OK Humane's founder and executive director of strategic initiatives. "This is a perfect avenue, because a lot of these people wouldn't normally go to a shelter to adopt, but they sure will come out to a giant event. So you're really just raising awareness of the overall issue, and that's more important."
PetSmart Charities was so impressed by the success of Midnight Woofness that it asked OK Humane to help create the Mega Adoption Mentorship Program, in which the two organizations would partner to provide funding and expertise to five shelters or rescue groups each year, so they could create their own events.
Mentorship is only provided for groups that can meet the minimum goal of 200 adoptions, but grants are also available to organizations that want to do smaller-scale, "Super" or "Targeted" events.
It's Getting Crowded
OK Humane has the huge happenings down to a science. Its template helps create a major event, held over a short, finite period of time, with hundreds of adoptable animals available from numerous adoption groups at once—often the same model used by shelters that participate in the ASPCA's Mega Match-a-thon or Challenge events.
It takes OK Humane four months of planning, and five core planning teams, to pull it off: logistics, marketing, volunteer management, foster/animal management, and creative. Amy Shrodes, OK Humane's manager of development, has led the planning for each event.
Everything is broken down into shifts and areas of responsibility. There are training sessions, volunteer orientations, and meetings to work out all the details. The day of the event, OK Humane has 27 staff and more than 350 volunteers on deck, plus roughly 200 dogs and 50-60 cats at any given time.
Typically, as midnight approaches, hundreds of people are already waiting in line. Many of them arrive hours in advance, hoping to adopt a particular pet who they've seen on a website that lists all the adoptable animals. Once the party kicks off, people can wander from tent to tent looking at pets, and volunteers are there to take animals from their cages for a little get-acquainted time with potential adopters. Those who are interested in a particular pet fill out an application, talk with an adoption counselor, and determine if the animal is a good fit for them.
For staff and volunteers, it's like being shot out of a cannon. "We process over a hundred adoptions in an hour and a half," Shrodes says. "It's pretty intense at that moment, so there's not as much counseling time, but we do have a lot of people that have seen the event from the news, they've been watching the website, and they come with printouts, because they know which one they want."
Emily Garman, a longtime OK Humane volunteer, used social media to promote the event, to recruit and communicate with volunteers, and to interact with TV and radio station reporters. During the events, she constantly posted shareable content like pictures and videos, plus adoption total updates, on Facebook to keep the excitement going.
"People stayed up all night, waiting for us to break our record," Garman says. "I felt like I was posting a lot, almost to the point of being obnoxious, but people were [posting], 'Where are you? How many have been adopted? Who's going to be the last one?'"
For Counts, the best part is seeing how the mega events seem to instantly raise the value of homeless pets in the community. "Honestly, it's looking at the line at midnight, thinking that we've got people waiting in line for hours for these animals that a couple of days before were considered not important. And I just think that's amazing," she says.
Bryan and Becky Brady heard about the October 2011 event from a friend and decided to drive an hour from their rural community to Oklahoma City to be there when it started.
At that hour, "we're normally in bed," Becky says, laughing, "or at least at home. But we did get out. It was kind of drizzly and rainy and everything, but the event was awesome."
Her husband spotted Slater, a handsome border collie—coincidentally, Shrodes's foster dog—and instantly fell in love. They filled out an application, talked to an adoption counselor, and took him home that night.
"He gets plenty of exercise, and we live on 10 acres, and he's just the love of our life," Becky says.
Crowd Control: Managing the People Flow
Groups that organize mega adoption events typically come away from the experience with some valuable lessons. The most important of these concern how to handle the sheer masses of people that a successful event can attract.
Two county/city shelters in the Riverside County Department of Animal Services in California—Western Riverside and Coachella Valley—partnered with two other municipal shelters in the county for this spring's Mega Match-a-thon, finding homes for 442 pets.
"For us, really the crowd control and the parking was the biggest thing," says Kimberly McWhorter, the department's program coordinator. "The other thing was coordinating the people once they got here, and just the flow of getting them through the system."
The moment people entered the shelter, they were funneled to an information kiosk manned by staff and volunteers to help direct them. The staff was split up into teams, with a different team handling each of two buildings housing dogs, and one building for cats.
"We changed the flow of our operations," McWhorter says. Those who wanted to adopt a cat completed the entire adoption in the cat building, instead getting in additional lines for paperwork and to check out. The process worked the same for dogs.
In case more than one adopter wanted an animal, the staff employed a "first come, first served" policy. Once a pet was in a potential adopter's arms, he or she had first dibs on that animal. "Most people, even if they were like, 'Oh my gosh, I like that one, too,' they were more than willing to bend. 'Well, OK, you can have it,' rather than, 'No, it's mine—I saw it first!'" McWhorter says.
When the Sacramento SPCA had its Certified Pre-Owned Pets event for this year's Mega Match-a-thon, staff put procedures in place to clarify the process for adopters, says Lesley Kirrene, director of marketing. People were met at a welcome desk, where they were given Meet Your Match forms to fill out, and then briefly met with an adoption counselor, who used the forms to guide them to animals who would be a good fit.
Staff set up large signs directing people to the stations where they would need to go next. To prevent visitors from taking the only cards from individual kennels, staff made one plastic card to stay on the cage, then printed up multiple paper copies for each animal. Adopters brought these copies to where adoption counselors were stationed.
But despite the emphasis on crowd control, the shelter kept its usual adoption counseling in place—and that took time. "People were waiting for hours because of the fact that we weren't just saying, 'OK, you like that little terrier mix? Sure, it's yours,'" Kirrene recalls. And yet, she says, "we had very few people upset by the process, which was amazing to me."
People who come to mega adoption events are likely going to have to spend at least some time waiting, and organizers often take steps to keep the crowd happy. For Kirrene's shelter, that means having Starbucks coffee and a veggie tamale truck available. The Jacksonville Humane Society hires a band, holds drawings for prizes, and has clowns and face-painting for children. Other shelters have had dachshund races, a tattoo competition in which people showed off skin art of their pets and other animals, and a classic car show to keep things interesting.
Kirrene has one piece of advice for anyone thinking about hosting one of these adoption blowouts. "I'd tell them to be prepared for, I guess we'd call it the 'best-case scenario,' which is the line out front," she says. "If you come up with something unique enough that catches people's attention—be prepared. I mean, we were overprepared for our next event."
Super Mario
OK Humane doesn't have a shelter, but it's still able to pull off these mega events.
Each year, Midnight Woofness has been held at a different Oklahoma City PetSmart, taking up the entire parking lot with multiple tents for rescue groups, an air-conditioned trailer for cats, food vendors, and activities.
Shelters and rescues with their own facilities can host mega adoption events right on site—or sites, as the case may be. For this spring's Mega Match-a-thon, the Jacksonville Humane Society, the City of Jacksonville Animal Care and Protective Services, and First Coast No More Homeless Pets coordinated adoption events at each of their locations. A total of $20,000 in grants from the ASPCA and PetSmart Charities could be used for marketing that would drive people to the different shelters, raising awareness of their locations.
"So to us, it was about not just the volume of adoptions that weekend, but how could we promote adopting in general, as well as promote all three locations, so that we would get that traffic long after the Mega Match-a-thon weekend," says Denise Deisler, the humane society's executive director.
She coordinated the event for all three shelters, plus eight foster-based rescues that participated and were spread out among the locations. Everyone agreed to use the same application form, and to standardize their adoption fees to $25 for dogs or cats ($20 of which covered a mandatory license fee).
The shelters met with the rescue groups in advance, and encouraged them to "prequalify" potential adopters before the event—asking them to take steps to meet the groups' different criteria (submitting to home checks, etc.)—to streamline the adoption process.
The humane society and No More Homeless Pets had, in the weeks leading up to Mega Match-a-thon, transferred in much higher numbers of animals from the city shelter than usual, and filled up their foster homes, so that they would have plenty of pets available.
The humane society planned to have everything take place outdoors, with tents and tables set up to process adoptions. The organization's shelter had burned down five years earlier, and its modular units could never handle the crowds that were expected that day. Then bad weather—high winds, rain, and a tornado watch—threatened to derail Saturday's activities.
But quick thinking and hard work by staff and about 100 volunteers saved the day, as they moved the entire event inside the humane society's warehouse in less than 30 minutes, and then back outside again after the storms had passed.
Despite all the drama, lines of people were a constant on Saturday, and soon there was a run on available pets. By the afternoon, there were no more puppies or kittens left to adopt.
The collective goal for the event was 250 adoptions, but by the end of three days, 304 animals had found homes.
For Deisler, the last adoption was the most memorable.
It came five minutes after the event was officially over. Walking through her shelter, marveling at all the empty cages, she spotted a lone dog in a bottom-row cage.
"His name was Mario. He is a 10-year-old, blind shih tzu, who somehow, in all of this shuffle, got lost in the process. So I came flying out to my person that was doing Facebook. I said, 'Do not close the gate, do not close the doors. Post something about Mario. I'll pay his adoption fee—I can't go home, and not have Mario go home,'" she recalls.
"So she posted really fast on Facebook, 'Gosh, last animal left in a cage,' put his picture up there, and a woman called us immediately, and asked us if we'd wait. And we waited for her to come down, and adopt Mario. I'm telling you, it was the best [moment] of the whole weekend."

We had a light lunch in the main bar. The menu gave some attractive options. However my egg mayonnaise and watercress sandwich was really disappointing. Almost no mayo, no watercress or cress at all, just some very tired salad as a garnish, stale basic white bread. It took a long time to arrive after paying for it. We were in a group and it would have been awkward to make a fuss at the time. less

On arrival the front aspect of the hotel didn't give me a feeling of assurance. But once booked and settled in the room, things appeared so different. The hotel footprint is actually LARGE, with room blocks through to the rear of the building. My room was very comfortable and very spacious.
I went down to the restaurant and was served by very helpful staff and the food was also very good.
From my first sight of the front façade of the building being a little negative to now being very impressed with the décor and fitting out of the hotel.
Breakfast took me to the upper dining room and again I was suitably impressed as this was another room with its own character.
If I need another stay in the area I will not think twice about the Three swans hotel. less

We stayed on a Saturday night in a room above the pub, looking out towards the main street which meant it did get noisy at night but didn't keep us awake. The room itself was slightly dated and the windows didn't fully close so was drafty and noisy without the curtains shut. The room was clean and a great size, we had a 5 month old baby but there was plenty of room for our travel cot. Breakfast buffet was worth the money, plenty of choice and lovely if seated upstairs, some guests were having to come up and down the stairs for breakfast which could be off putting for some. Overall our stay was fine and it's a great location, with free parking, would stay again but in the other building. less

We arrived around 2pm on Saturday afternoon so we're delighted to be told our room was ready. The delight soon turned to dismay when we entered the room only to be faced with a rubbish skip right outside the window. A quick trip back to reception only to be told nothing was available. This was soon rectified by the duty manager, However I cannot help feeling we were given someone else's room. Off we went again, alas only one towel in this room. Back to reception yet again.
We were booked in for dinner in the hotel restaurant but on paying a visit and reviewing the menu decided it was not for us. A shame as they have a lovely dining area up stairs that was not being used. Definitely not like the old days
The confusing element with this hotel is that it is owned by the Coaching Inn Group yet all the branding in the rooms is for the Best Western Group (the previous owners) I guess the marketing team are missing a trick here.
Rooms are OK bathrooms are tired and in need of a refurb. Plastic shower heads but chrome taps, chipped bath and Lino floor. Definitely not worth £120 a night.
On a plus note the staff were very friendly and helpful but will not be returning less

Haredi lawmakers warn move could unleash a culture war or worse — the wrath of God
TOMER, West Bank
On an abandoned army base here in the Jordan Valley, a couple dozen ultra-Orthodox teenagers are entering a new military academy designed to prepare them for the rigors of the Israeli army.
Where once these young men in black hats, white tassels and side curls were destined for a life of religious study, poring over Torah and Talmud at a yeshiva, they will now spend the coming months with an expanded curriculum: running an obstacle course and humping packs across the frying pan of the Judean desert.
"Ever fire a gun?" the visiting deputy defense minister, Danny Danon, asked a whip-thin 17-year-old from one of the most cloistered, religious neighborhoods in Jerusalem, where the role models are learned rabbis, not Israeli special forces.
"No, sir," he replied. "But I am looking forward to it."
The specter of ultra-Orthodox Jewish boys donning green Israel Defense Forces chinos and toting TAR-21 assault rifles is exactly what mainstream Israelis are demanding — and what leaders of "the Torah world" dread.
The Israeli parliament is ready to make good on a campaign promise by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government to compel the Haredi, as the ultra-Orthodox are known, to "share the burden." Under the new law, they must enlist in the army or perform some other kind of national service, or else they face criminal charges and jail time as draft dodgers.
In an Israeli society divided between secular, high-tech Tel Aviv and pious, ancient Jerusalem, the voting public's insistence that the sons of the ultra-Orthodox go to boot camp, like every other 18-year-old in Israel, represents a remarkable rewriting of the social contract.
"This marks the end of the era in which we discriminated between secular Jewish blood and Haredi Jewish blood, while our enemies don't make that distinction," said Yaakov Peri, a government minister and former head of the security agency Shin Bet.
The law of compulsory service for the Haredim passed the first of three rounds in the Knesset late last month by a solid two-thirds majority. If the bill wins final approval after the summer recess, as predicted, the new law could bring 5,000 or more ultra-Orthodox recruits into the army each year. As part of a compromise, the government will begin a compulsory draft for the ultra-Orthodox after a four-year transition period. About 1,800 "Torah geniuses" will be allowed to continue their studies. Haredi women will also be exempt.
Haredi politicians and rabbis warn that this could unleash mass protest, a culture war or worse — the wrath of God.
In parliament, the bill's initial passage evoked intense emotions, as Haredi parliamentarians handcuffed themselves to the podium, tore their clothes in acts of mourning and blew a ram's horn in the corridors.
"They look at this legislation as evil, as a threat to their way of life," said Sam Sokol, a reporter with the Jerusalem Post who served in the sole all-male, super-kosher combat brigade for the ultra-Orthodox in the Israeli army, which he compared to "a yeshiva with guns."
Haredim believe, he said, that as the Jews have survived persecution by Pharaohs, Babylonians, Romans, Nazis and Communists, so, too, they will endure this. "If the political establishment says they have to go — then the army will have to take them by force," Sokol said.
Ultra-Orthodox youth, enrolled in religious study, have been exempt from military service since the 1950s, when one of the founders of Israel, former prime minister David Ben-Gurion, struck a deal with Haredi rabbis that allowed yeshiva students to study rather than fight.
But that was at a time when Jews were struggling to rebuild the world of Torah study following the Holocaust, and when the number of Haredi students seeking exemptions was relatively small.
Yair Lapid, the Israeli finance minister and leader of a party that campaigned on a platform that called for the ultra-Orthodox to serve, said that when exemptions and subsidies for Torah learners were established, they went to 400 students. Today there are 800,000 ultra-Orthodox in Israel.

Intervention Title: Reducing Emergency Department Crowding Through the Full Capacity Protocol – Stony Brook University Hospital; Stony Brook, N.Y.
Goal: Reduce emergency department (ED) crowding and improve patient care, patient safety and patient satisfaction levels.
Innovation: Staff implemented the Full Capacity Protocol, which redistributes admitted patients boarding in the ED to acute-care hallway beds on inpatient units when the ED is unable to evaluate and treat new emergency patients in a timely manner because of a lack of space and resources.
Result: Initiation of the Full Capacity Protocol has led to a substantial increase in patient safety and satisfaction. Of those patients transferred, almost 50 percent were assigned a room immediately or in less than one hour. Additionally, the average length of stay for patients boarded on the acute care floors is almost one day less than the average for similar patients boarded in the ED.
Institution: Stony Brook University Hospital 101 Nicolls Road Stony Brook, NY 11794 P: (631) 444-4000
From the C-Suite:
This innovation helped us reduce ED overcrowding caused by boarding of admitted patients. By utilizing the resources within our entire institution, we identified hallway boarding on inpatient units as a solution superior to boarding in the ED, both from a patient safety and operational perspective. Once implemented, the results have been quite positive. Now not only do our patients receive the care that they need in a timely and improved manner, but admitted patients receive better care in a better setting.
Peter Viccellio, M.D., F.A.C.E.P. Clinical Director of Emergency Medicine
Profile: Stony Brook University Hospital is a 502-bed (32 in the ED) for-profit teaching hospital on Long Island, N.Y.

Staff involved:
Timeline: Three-month planning and implementation to change processes
Contact: Peter Vicellio, M.D., F.A.C.E.P. Clinical Director of Emergency Medicine email@example.com P: (631) 444-3880
Innovation implementation: The ED team at Stony Brook University Hospital faced a dilemma familiar to most hospitals: a large demand for services but limited space and resources to handle it because of the boarding of admitted patients in the ED.
Stony Brook's answer was a Full Capacity Protocol policy—a systemwide policy to better utilize space and staff throughout the hospital rather than allowing admitted patients to accumulate in the ED when the inpatient units lack appropriate beds. Under the new protocol, when the ED is overloaded and has inadequate space to evaluate and treat new patients in a timely fashion, the hospital's bed coordinator and medical directors activate the protocol and transfer admitted patients from the ED to acute care beds located in hallways on inpatient units, with each unit absorbing up to two additional patients over their usual maximal census.
Despite conventional objections to hallway boarding, the hospital firmly believes that placing patients in a safer, more monitored environment that has a higher nurse-to-patient ratio than the ED is a critical component to quality care. Moving patients to quieter, less chaotic surroundings also significantly improves patients' perceptions of their care.
Just as important, the Full Capacity Protocol helped change hospital staff members' view of flow and crowding from being an ED problem to being an institutional problem that required all of their help to solve. The new protocol has improved the turnover of inpatient beds, which allows patients to be moved through the ED faster and ultimately helps decrease boarding patients in the ED or inpatient halls.
Advice and lessons learned:
Cost/benefit estimate: The biggest investment in this innovation was the time it took to change hospital policy. The benefits were significantly improved patient care and satisfaction scores, improved safety for boarded patients, and more efficient patient flow throughout the entire system.

My car was rear-ended while I was at a stop light. 10k plus damage to a 2009 Toyota Venza. I have several pre-existing medical problems which were made worse due to the accident. I don't feel the attorney i have wants to fight for me
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
Schedule and appointment with your attorney and discuss the strategy. If you feel unsatisfied after the meeting contact other attorneys. Good luck.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
When you have pre-existing injuries, the insurer will try and argue that your injuries did not get caused by the accident. Strong medical evidence can refute that, so if your doctors have documented this well, your attorney should be able to work with that. If you are not happy with your attorney, talk with him first, and then considert a second opinion with other counsel.

Some pre-existing are from birth.
State, Local, and Municipal Law Attorney
Yes, your pre existing medical condition will be a factor in your case. The other side will use whatever arguments they can to limit your recovery. If you aren't happy with your attorney, you can always get another one, but first sit down with him or her and discuss the status and how he or she believes your prior medical problems will impact your case and your recovery. He or she has all of the details and is in the best position to answer your questions... Best of luck to you...
THESE COMMENTS MUST NOT BE CONSIDERED LEGAL ADVICE. Comments made on websites such as Avvo.com are provided for information purposes only, and you should not base a decision to act or refrain from acting based upon this answer. The only way to determine how the law may apply to your particular situation is to consult with an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. Answering this question does not create an attorney-client relationship or otherwise require further consultation. That relationship is established by the execution of a written agreement for legal services. Also, see Avvo's terms and conditions of use, specifically item 9, incorporated by this reference.
Medical Malpractice Attorney
Whenever damages are evaluated in a personal injury case, the substantive question is: how is the victim worse after the negligence and what will it require to make him whole? Hence your attorney needs to show how your pre-existing conditions were worsened by the negligence. Meet face to face with your attorney. Share with him/her your reservations and grant them an opportunity to make it right.

Bankruptcy Attorney
Yes, of course you have to prove your damages and your lawyer likely explained this. The other party is generally liable for the damages they caused (including making other conditions worse) - not for all problems you had before the incident.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Significant pre-existing injuries are almost always a hurdle to be overcome, but questions such as were your pre-existing injuries aggravated in this collision, whether you recovered from the earlier injuries and for how long, and so on are all questions that an experienced personal injury attorney will know how to address but unfortunately, even despite such legal arguments such as aggravation of pre-existing condition, egg-shell plaintiff, etc., having significant pre-existing injuries will not convince a jury your injuries were caused in this instance, and certainly won't convince the other drivers' insurance adjuster.
Personal Injury Lawyer
You are free to get a new lawyer from Avvo. You simply send a termination letter to your old attorney.
Personal Injury Lawyer
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I always recommend a person in your situation schedule an in person meeting with your attorney to get answers to your questions.
However, under Georgia law, if I hurt you I am responsible. I am responsible for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and pain and suffering. What injury am I responsible for? Any injury I cause which includes if I aggravate a preexisting or dormant injury or condition you have at the time of the collision.
To prove an aggravation injury, you will want to have any and all medical records surrounding any treatment you received for your preexisting injury or condition. You will want to provide these to your treating physician so that your physician can provide his opinion that the collision aggravated your preexisting injury or condition. Your physician must have a basis for his opinion and his opinion must be stated at least to a reasonable degree of medical certainty.
I hope this helps. Best of luck.

You should meet face to face with your attorney and let him/her know exactly how this accident has changed your life. It is a quality of life issue. Good luck.
*This information should not be construed to be formal legal advice nor the formation of a lawyer/client relationship.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
Since you are making a claim for injuries the burden of proof is on you, in other words, you have to prove with medical evidence,that the car wreck either caused new injuries or aggravated pre existing conditions. If an injured person didn't have to prove their injuries then anyone could just say they were injured without proof. You should talk to your doctor and see if he will say the trauma from the wreck made your conditions worse. if he won't do that then you may have problems proving your injuries.
Personal Injury Lawyer
The defendant driver and his insurance are only responsible for new injuries and old injuries to the extent aggravated by the accident. Hence the need for proof. This is an every day issue for an experienced injury lawyer and should not be a problem.

I'm working with a HTML form that accepts 4 dates, two of which are optional. These dates are inserted into a MS SQL database, so I'm boundary checking the DateTime variables, which are passed from the form, against SqlDateTime.MinValue and SqlDateTime.MaxValue. Here's what my model looks like:
[DisplayName("Planned Start Date")]
[CustomValidation(typeof(Goal), "ValidateGoalDate")]
public object planned_start_date { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Actual Start Date")]
[CustomValidation(typeof(Goal), "ValidateGoalDate")]
public object start_date { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Planned End Date")]
[CustomValidation(typeof(Goal), "ValidateGoalDate")]
public object planned_end_date { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Actual Start Date")]
//[CustomValidation(typeof(Goal), "ValidateGoalDate")]
public object end_date { get; set; }
And my custom validator:
public static ValidationResult ValidateGoalDate(DateTime goalDate) {
//* this does not appear to work ever because the optional field does
//* not ever get validated.
if (goalDate == null || goalDate.Date == null)
return ValidationResult.Success;
if (goalDate.Date < (DateTime)SqlDateTime.MinValue)
return new ValidationResult("Date must be after " + SqlDateTime.MinValue.Value.ToShortDateString());
if (goalDate.Date > (DateTime)SqlDateTime.MaxValue)
return new ValidationResult("Date must be before " + SqlDateTime.MaxValue.Value.ToShortDateString() );
return ValidationResult.Success;
The problem occurs whenever you submit the form without the optional values. In my controller, my ModelState.IsValid returns false and I get a validation error message:
"Could not convert the value of type 'null' to 'System.DateTime' as expected by method GoalManager.Models.Goal.ValidateGoalDate. Must enter a valid date."
Stepping though the code, I see that the custom validator does not run on the optional fields, but when I remove the DataAnnotation from those optional fields, I return no error. If the user does not insert a date into the field, I want to insert a NULL into the table. How do tell the Validator that I do not want to error check a blank (or null) date, to ignore it, and to insert a null into the database?

New Devin Townsend Song
yeah this sounds just like something marilyn manson would do
Digging: The Brave Little Abacus - Just Got Back from the Discomfort
The animals must be deaf.
Previews sound pretty sweet.
Sounds pretty good. Lucky Animals seems like an oddball song, business as usual for Dev!
The previews sound fucking sick though. Can't wait!
Pretty good, but not blown away I guess. Still excited for this uber "musical"-ish record of awesome fun time winningness.
Good stuff, he said this song isn't a very good example of how the whole thing will sound though.
oh snap that sounded pretty good
devy never disappoints :]
Based on the samples, Epicloud seems like the sequel to Addicted combined with all of the good parts of Deconstruction. I'm okay with this.
sounds awful
sounds amazing
the fact that noctus hates it makes me even more excited
Lucky Animals didn't sound that great.
Lucky Animals is meh, but from the previews it sounds like one of the worst songs so that's OK I guess. Some of the other previews kick some major ass
"Based on the samples, Epicloud seems like the sequel to Addicted combined with all of the good parts of Deconstruction. I'm okay with this."
Song has Anneke so it rules.
"Song has Anneke so it rules."
My thought exactly. Still, album is sounding pretty sweet...cant wait for the rerecording of Kingdom and his London show in October.
Digging: Fightstar - Behind the Devil's Back
well that didnt rule but previews sound sweet so fuck it
Yeah, not the greatest, but this will still rule.
pretty much what kill said
The previews sound like an even more upbeat addicted, so I'm super excited.
I'm drawn to this mans music for reasons I don't really understand. It's like he's tapping into my psych and offering it significant aural pleasure.
Song sucked but previews sound great as has been said.
One of his silly songs, I don't know why they picked this one to play. But w/e, it's not too bad, and the sound quality is pretty bad on that vid which hurts simple songs more than complex ones.
It's all right, but I'm just glad that it's not one of the best songs on there. I hate when singles are usually one of the best songs on the album, or the only good song on the album... But the previews of the other songs I heard sounded really epic so I'm not worried at all.
Digging: Odious - Skin Age
Yeah it does seem kinda a confusing choice of single. If the label is trying to push this record as Devin said, wouldn't something like "Where We Belong" or "Save Our Now" be a better choice?
Updated the article with some new info. Oddly enough the Soundcloud link still has some pretty poor sound quality. In fact when the song is played in the Youtube video about submitting fan-made content Devin posted that I mentioned in the news thing it sounds like better quality so I'd recommend just listening to that. You also get the added bonus of watching Dev dance..
Well, Deconstruction was frustratingly boring, I hope this one blows me away
"I hate when singles are usually one of the best songs on the album"
isn't it usually the other way around?
pretty sure this is albums gonna rule
Deconstruction had some really great moments but got old and boring fast.
Many of the song clips sound decent, but this full song is fucking terrible.
Really excited for the Kingdom re-do though, that's one of my favourite songs.
angel angel angel
The previews sound ace... cannot wait. Not sure about this song though
song previews are great, song blows cock
Digging: Gorgoroth - Under the Sign of Hell
As I predicted, now that the song is up in better quality on soundcloud you can hear that it's not too bad, just a bit repetitive. Still probably going to be the weakest track on the album though.
I really didnt like the song at first
But then I watched the video that goes along with it:
hahaha that video
This song is kinda awkward, but damn is it enjoyable. I get a strong feeling though that I'd get called a nerd by the cool kids for enjoying this song
Devin, teach me how to dance!!! (This song is catchy as fuck)

Sword & Poker
By GAIA CO.,LTD.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
#1 paid app. in Japan! (Jan 11, 2010)
"Sword & Poker" is an RPG game, based on the classic poker game.
Unlike the recent RPG games that are usually complicated, we created an RPG game that is simple to use, so that everybody can enjoy.
The game rules are simple!
"Combine cards horizontally, vertically or diagonally to create a poker hand"
Together with its simplicity, we also combined the fun elements of an RPG game and the shrewdness of card games to create a unique sense of fun.
■ ≪ Story ≫
This is a story of a magical world based on cards.
Our story begins with the appearance of the monstrous creature called the "Lord of Chaos" in a small and peaceful village.
The "Lord of Chaos" has captured the magical "Stone of Creation" from the bottom of the earth, and has created a sweeping dungeon using the powers of the stone.
Many have attempted to defeat the "Lord of Chaos", but they were all captured by his five loyal guardians ruling the area, and have not returned.
Now another warrior, in ready to challenge the "Lord of Chaos" and return the "Stone of Creation" back from the mighty dungeon. And so his quest begins…
◆ Game Features
・RPG game based on poker, that everybody can enjoy.
・Play against another player using only one iPhone/ iPod Touch device.
・Learn the how-to's of the game using the tutorial function.
・Pause anytime and play again from where you paused by using the resume function.
TIPS: If you listen to your favorite music playing this game, please set the volume of BGM to the minimum in "Settings".

Well balanced Poker and RPG application
When I was younger I used to play the Final Fantasy games as they were released. I don't have the time for those epics anymore, but I saw this application and had to get it. This game is a stripped down RPG that lets you increase your HP, obtain "magic," and improve your weapon and shield. Your attack is based on the poker hands you form and, if applicable, what magic you have cast. Your level is well matched to your opponents. They can be tough but they don't overwhelm you. If you die, you can start the floor over. You'll keep your cash but lose any prizes you gained on that floor. The game automatically saves whenever you leave, so no need to work your way to a save point. Once you've beaten the first major boss, bonus levels are opened. At any point, including after you've beaten the game, you can go back through earlier levels to build cash and buy better health, armor or weapons. QUITE ENJOYABLE AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I will soon start playing Sword & Poker 2.
Best. iPhone Game. Ever!
Seriously, I've downloaded dozens of iPhone games over the years. But this is the first one that made me put down my DS because I preferred a game on my phone.
Best way to describe this game is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of The Warlords, but with poker at it's core instead of jewel matching. It cleverly combines draw poker – presented in a grid where your "hand" can be made by combining cards in your draw pile with cards on the table in any one of eight directions – with RPG elements. Smart level design, a vast array of monsters to combat and ability to customize your character keep this game fresh even when you've mastered playing poker on a matrix (which does take some getting used to).
If I have any criticism it's that the game ends way too soon. C'mon, Gaia! Give us some more levels! I would seriously pay again for another ~30 levels and new critters to fight.
Best. Timekiller. Ever.
If you don't buy this game, you're dumb. I've been playing this game and it's successor for going on four years and it has never once lost it's glamour. It's fun, simple, addicting, and for the cost, you're getting something that'll take you way longer to finish than some dumb game where you crush sugar or live in a ville of farms. Plus, no annoying ads or pop-ups, and you can even compete against your friends in the vs. mode! No longer will you have to send a request to a friend on Facebook, blowing up their walls with notifications about extra lives! This, and the other version of this game, are and will forever be worth every single penny I've spent and I only wish I could give the developers more.
In short, but this game and the second version as well. You will never regret your purchase.

Terry Fortner Christine Varkas
Nationally acclaimed instructors who have taught at PHMTEC,
describe the courses:
"The Early Childhood Montessori teacher preparation course at PHMTEC is a high quality, well organized, course that offers comprehensive lecture content while individually engaging each student. The spirit of the Montessori Method at its best surrounds the academic excellence and coverage this course provides." (Rosanne Amaru)
"This is one of the best courses where I have taught." (Rosario Toward)
"The quality is impressive." (Kathleen Leitch)
"The PHMTEC course holds true to Montessori
Philosophy; offering hands on learning at every step of
the way and respecting the individuality of each student."
(Marta Kellam)
"The Infant-Toddler Montessori teacher preparation course is like no other. At its best, the course is a transformational experience for the student. You will never see children, other adults, or yourself in the same way again. The content of this course goes far beyond classroom preparation. We study families and parent support. We consider the "0" in "0 to 3" to be conception, so our study includes pregnancy. The course is a unique opportunity for growth through inspiring lectures, mentoring, writing, relaxation techniques, and development of observation skills. In a world where the littlest citizens are often neglected, we understand and celebrate their miraculous development and huge potential." (Susan Tracey)
Maria Montessori on Childhood Education
"One would like to know in a few clear words what this Montessori Method really is. We must consider the human personality and not a method of education. For the word "method" we should substitute something like this: " Help given in order that the human personality may achieve its independence." Or "Means offered to deliver the human personality from the oppression of age-old prejudices regarding education."

User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
When you're out riding the dunes, the last thing you want is to come over a ridge facing a rider coming from the opposite direction. The solution is to use a motorcycle flag – in fact, they're required at sand dunes. An important safety measure, flags alert riders to nearby machines. Rising six feet in the air, they provide an extra level of visibility that is normally missing from riding on sand dunes (and other types of terrain where visibility can be impeded).
Since they naturally have a highly visible nature, flags aren't just a safety precaution – they're a way to express yourself as you ride. For this reason, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC carries several options of dirt bike flags. If you're feeling patriotic, an American flag might be just your thing. Want a skull and crossbones look? We've got a few to choose from. We've got everything from flames to pink stars.
Of course, a flag isn't very helpful without a way to mount it to your bike. That's why we also stock several flag pole holders. A quick release pole holder makes it easy to remove your flag after the initial hardware is installed.
Don't skimp on safety or style – buy a dirt bike flag and pole holder from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC today!

Looks good on my bike, and a lot easier than having to wrench on my flag. The only thing is the flag does move slightly after some riding time, so be sure to check it every so often.Read All Reviews

Good mount. Stays snug and keeps the flag back and out of the way. The only downside is the flag sit lower than if it was seat mounted ( less visability to others). I drilled a small hole in the side of the fender and put a zip tie there to hold the flag more up right to keep from snapping off.Read All Reviews

Gov. Sean Parnell on Wednesday named Tesoro lobbyist Kip Knudson as his choice to replace the state's longtime representative in Washington, D.C., John Katz. Knudson, 47, said in a brief prepared statement that he was "humbled to follow in John Katz's footsteps."
The job, as defined by Katz in his long career, involves supervising a small staff in an office building between the Capitol and Union Station, concurrently tracking hundreds of issues in Congress and the Administration in which Alaska has interests, advocating the state's position without alienating opponents, working closely with Alaska's bipartisan congressional delegation, and giving detailed briefings to parades of visiting Alaska legislators, officials and journalists who found it pointless to go to Washington without stopping by for a visit.
Parnell said he believed Knudson would be a strong advocate for Alaska.
Besides his work for Tesoro, Knudson was the state's deputy commissioner for aviation under Republican Gov. Frank Murkowski and was marketing director for Era Aviation from 1998 to 2003. He also served as a legislative aide to Republican Reps. Mark Hanley and Loren Leman.
Katz was hired by Gov. Jay Hammond, a Republican, in 1979 to work on the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Katz served as commissioner of natural resources under both Hammond and Democrat Bill Sheffield, who appointed him to the Washington job. Katz worked for every administration since then.

US Warns Israel: Attacking Iran May Ruin Treaties With Egypt, Jordan
Public Backlash Against War Could Force Regimes to Scrap Israel Deals
According to reports in the print version of Israel's Yediot Achronot, the Obama Administration has recently warned Israel that an attack against Iran could mean an end to their existing peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan.
The officials warned that a unilateral Israeli attack "is just what the Iranians need," and that it would cause a huge public backlash against Israel across the Muslim world, forcing the nations scrap their deals to placate protesters.
"What happened with the film against Mohammed is just a preview of what will happen in case of an Israeli strike," one of the officials said, lamenting "today the Arab leaders do not control their peoples, the streets control the leaders."
Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened to attack Iran, with some speculation it might happen before the US election in November. It has been suggested by some officials that a US attack might come at some point after the election, which seems to be an option Israel prefers to starting the war themselves.

Holy crap, can anyone shoot all the guys in charge, please?

Can one dredge any more despicable talking points from the deepest sewer of rank colonialism?
Partners in crime will stay partners till "bitter end for all". Internacional Zionism with Zionist Banksters is the "root of whole evil on this planet". Their support for terrorist place called Israel is clear sign of "satanic worship"……with direct opposition to Gods comandments…
Christ Jesus throwed out these "money changers" out of the temple during His ministry, "people" should follow His sample – to save planet and free themself…peter czech
a ruined treaty with US would be more useful
Most of the world who see's Israel for what it is..a terrorist self serving nation will be in agreement once blowback arrives at its doorstep. Iran has been preparing for an attack for thirty-five years. My bet is that they have access to nuclear weapons and will only use them if Israel does so first.
Oh, I'm sure they're terrified now.

Change is scary. Yet it gives us windows into new opportunities and experiences, providing alternate—and often better—endings to our scripts.
In my life, I've had the great privilege to serve our nation in the armed forces and then work directly with our federal government. And I've learned that "change" can be a dirty word in the public sector. Yet change is exactly what we need to ensure our agency programs' survival and our continued progress.
In the early 1990s, when I was with the Navy, the video collaboration industry was just starting to develop. If you heard someone talking about talking to someone over video, you would have thought they were talking about Star Trek. But the Navy had foresight. In a time when video conferencing and data transmission were largely untested, the Navy saw the promise of video from both a technological and a financial standpoint. We had sailors deployed on ships all over the globe; instant communication was a must.
For several months, my admiral would come to me daily asking about the return on investment in adopting video. The numbers were so staggering I even second guessed myself. Millions of dollars and thousands of man hours were saved.
Twenty-five years later, our government is at a tipping point with video. With new legislation requiring agencies to slice travel budgets in half by 2017 (Cut the Waste, Stay in Place Act of 2013), video technology will play an even more important role in feds' future. It will, that is, if we finally adopt it government-wide.
So why can't we do that today? For one thing, we live in fear.
The fear of the unknown coupled with the desire to avoid radical change has stunted our realization of the savings and benefits video brings. Take telework, for example. Agencies could save $14 billion if supervisors let interested and eligible employees telework two days a week, according to research by Global Workplace Analytics and the Telework Research Network. Yet too many managers are not letting eligible workers telecommute because they aren't comfortable with the concept.
Network security concerns factor in as well. Each agency is different in how it secures its network, but all can use encryption options that can run behind the firewall, making video connections private and safe.
Fear is the biggest obstacle to making any decision to change, but budgets are stagnant while programs multiply. And sacrificing integral missions because of fear does not sit well with the taxpayer, especially when working solutions are readily available.
We can remove the fear barrier and reap the benefits by keeping three simple ideas in mind:
Fear is a powerful beast, and every important decision comes with some apprehension. But I urge you to think critically about what $14 billion in savings would mean for this country. By teleworking and using more video, we could preserve current missions, build on new ones and develop new job opportunities -- all while easing the burden on taxpayers.
