Solar cell manufacturer
Canadian Solar Inc
) reported losses yet again in the third quarter of 2012. The
loss of $1.01 per share in the reported quarter was wider than
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 58 cents per share.
Total Revenue
The contribution from Europe decreased significantly from the
prior year, while American and Asian markets improved
Quarterly Highlights
Solar module shipments in the quarter totaled 384 megawatts
("MW"), compared with 412 MW for the second quarter 2012 and 355
MW for the third quarter of 2011. Total solar module
shipments for the third quarter of 2012 included 21.1 MW used in
the company's total solutions business.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 was $7.3 million,
short of the year-ago profit level by $4.6 million. The shortfall
in gross profit was primarily due to a decline in average selling
prices, marginally offset by lower manufacturing costs and higher
shipment volume.
Total operating expenses were $41.8 million. Operating
expenses mainly sprung from selling expenses. Higher freight and
other export-related expenses as a result of higher shipment
volume increased selling expenses. Headcount additions and
related salary expenses also spiked up selling expenses.
Overall, the company digested a net loss of $43.7 million in
the reported quarter compared with a net loss of $43.9 million in
the third quarter 2011.
Financial Position
As of September 30, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash were $690.8 million, slightly lower than $692.1 million as
of June 30, 2012. Operating cash flow was approximately $11.1
million in the third quarter of 2012, which excludes $68.6
million in cash outflows for 16 projects acquired in Ontario,
Short-term borrowings at the end of the third quarter of 2012
totaled $890.6 million, lower sequentially from $927.7
Long-term debt as of September 2012 was $224.2 million,
compared with $136.3 million at the end of the second quarter of
2012. The higher debt level was because of the acquisition
of assets in Canada.
Canadian Solar expects shipments in the range of 380 MW to 420 MW
in the fourth quarter of 2012, with gross margin expected between
1% and 3%.
The ongoing uncertainty in the global financing environment
has taken a toll on the company's shipment forecast for the full
year. The company now expects its shipment in 2012 in the range
of approximately 1,500 MW to 1,600 MW of solar products, down
from the prior expectation of 1,800 MW to 2,000 MW.
Our Take
In the third quarter, the company completed the sale of a
utility-scale solar power plant to Stonepeak Infrastructure
Partners for $48.4 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the
company completed the sale of two more projects, Brockville 1 and
William Rutley, totaling 20MW (AC), to TransCanada Corporation.
We believe the increasing popularity of solar power projects may
help the company to report once again in the black.
The company continues to see attractive opportunities for
growth in China, Japan and India, as well as in other emerging
markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Moreover, its
specialization in the downstream total solutions business makes
it a higher margin operation.
We nonetheless remain skeptical about the future performance
of the company unless it can rein in operating expenses and
increase total revenues. Besides, the industry-wide cascading
average selling prices and European woes remain causes of concern
for solar module makers.
The company presently retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank
(Hold). Another operator in the solar cell market,
First Solar, Inc.
) also retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).
Canadian Solar Inc. is one of the world's largest solar
companies. As a leading vertically integrated provider of ingots,
wafers, solar cells, solar modules and other solar applications,
the company designs, manufactures and delivers solar products and
solar system solutions for on-grid and off-grid use to customers
worldwide. With a market capitalization of $87.6 million, the

Monaco isn't an isolated event at all, just the latest in a uneven record of performance from Ferrari. Every other race Ferrari fortunes change. This team doesn't seem to be able to produce results race after race like Red Bull does. It's looking like another losing campaign for Ferrari and another wasted opportunity for Alonso. If I remember correctly Alonso had talks with Red Bull in 2009 after he had gone back to Renault, he must regret the decision not to go there. Ferrari just isn't the team it was when Byrne and Ross and Todt and Martinelli were there.

Richard W. "Ric" Shipley I, passed into Glory on Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Surrounded by family and friends, Heaven received a gifted singer, musician, writer, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. We trust his loving wife, Monica Lea Bible, and his parents, Riley O. Shipley I and Sarah C. Leggins, were waiting to welcome him home.
Born in Martinsville, IN, June 19, 1948, he was the fifth of 10 children. Ric is survived by his four children, Rebekah (David) Wilkinson, Craig Shipley, LeAna Shipley, and Richard W.

He also possessed an uncanny knowledge and love of words that touched many people. He was a teller of jokes, a spinner of yarns, and a great philosopher. Whether he was teasing, teaching, or just having fun, we all loved him — including his co-workers and the citizens where he worked at Mill Race Center in Columbus. We will miss his quick wit and talent, the melody in his voice, and his presence among us.

Elmer "Eddie" K. Edvalson, Minnie Bell Alexander, Garry A. Looslie, Kirby Ferris
Elmer "Eddie" K. Edvalson
Formerly of Union
Elmer "Eddie" K. Edvalson, 87 of Milton-Freewater died June 23 at the Park Manor Rehabilitation Center in Walla Walla.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Milton-Freewater. Burial with Military Honors to follow in the Union Cemetery in Union at 2:30 p.m. Contributions can be made to the Wounded Warriors through the Munselle-Rhodes Funeral Home, 902 S. Main St, Milton-Freewater OR 97862
Eddie was born on a homestead in High Valley near Union on March 26, 1925. He was the son of Theodore "Eric" and Alena Freida Kohler Edvalson. He spent his growing up years learning the skills of farming, breaking horses, hunting and fishing. He graduated from Union High School in 1943 and immediately joined the United States Army to fight for his country during World War II. He was assigned to C company with the 84th Division's 335th Infantry Regiment, known as the Abraham Lincoln Rail Splitters. Eddie served in the European Theater as a staff sargent and his motto was "Freedom is never free."
Elmer returned home in 1946 and married Glenda Lorraine Curl on Jan. 2, 1948. The couple raised six children and just recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. In 1969 Elmer and his family moved to Milton-Freewater where he has resided ever since. He spent most of his years as a salesperson and truly loved his family and community, spending much of his time reaching out and helping those he loved.

Reservation and empowerment: A debate on K.Krishna Murthy case
As I have a copy of ASG's written submissions on the matter, I have tried to seek answers to some of Sudhir's questions, in the light of ASG's arguments. These answers should not suggest that I agree with the ASG on this issue; I have an open mind, and I look forward to the likely debate it may provoke.
1. The right to vote or elect candidates, and the right to contest elections as a candidate, are not fundamental rights, but statutory rights - subject to the provisions of the statute.
2. 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts advance the notion of substantive equality.
3. The amendments do not address a conflict of rights, but rather - a justice of rights. The amendments are a testimony to constitutionalism as modifying the classic liberal human rights model to the discipline of a 'politically inclusive, adjudicative, negotiated constitutional secularism'.
4. Reservation in the post of Chairperson is essential, as the Chairperson discharges important functions and exercises some control over the functioning of the panchayat institution. Further, an enabling provision is made in the case of BCs, which permits States to make provisions for reservation of seats in BCs. Empirical literature suggests that the experiment of reservation in panchayats and local bodies has been extremely successful. These reservations must be viewed in the context of empowering weaker sections by ensuring their participation and representation in local governance.
5. For the purposes of Parts IX and IXA of the Constitution, the term 'backward classes' may be interpreted as socially and educationally backward classes, as understood in Indira Sawhney and subsequent decisions.
6. The inquiry whether equality has been achieved no longer ends with numerical equality; rather the equality clause has been held to require resort to a standard of proportional equality which requires the State, in framing legislation, to take into account the private inequalities of wealth, of education and other circumstances. (J.Mathew in State of Kerala vs. N.M.Thomas).
The full text of the ASG's submission is here.
ADDENDA: The following summary of the oral arguments may be of use:
Justice Raveendran: The objection was about vertical reservation. Women's Reservation was a fringe issue. Panchayat Raj is not an issue. Thrust of argument (of Mr.Rama Jois) was on BCs and the Chairperson reservation. As the BCs already have the major share, what is the purpose of quota for BCs?
ASG: It is not anybody's case that the BCs did not exist when this Amendment was passed. Such an averment is not there. 17 States have enacted laws under Article 243D(6). That Mandal did not recommend such a reservation cannot be a ground to attack these amendments. Mandal was a report, it was not exhaustive. I don't think it would lead to a clamour.
Rama Jois: The A.P.Assembly has passed a resolution urging OBC quota in Assembly elections.
ASG: Let's cross the bridge when it comes.
Justice Raveendran: Empirical data was available for SC/ST/WOMEN when Parliament/assembly reservation was made. No such data was available in the case of OBC quota in local bodies. We don't want to enter areas where there is no contest at all. Mandal Commision found that in political arena, OBCs did not require reservation.
ASG: The fact that BCs exist is a justification.
Justice Raveendran: Were BCs prevented from contesting in PR, so that they required protection. For women, SCs and STs, it could be said yes,they were prevented and discouraged from contesting, so it was necessary.
Justice Sathasivam: In the case of notification by Karnataka, (making reservations for OBCs in local bodies), there are no objects and reasons.
ASG: Right to vote is a creation of statute, it could be tailored, based on qualifications. If reservation is needed, and given, it leads to equality.
Justice Raveendran: Where reservation is not needed, but provided, it becomes a divisive force.
ASG: Constitution uses conscious expression to enable identification. Certain groups are to be treated disadvantaged. Apprehension of disintegration will vanish. Affirmative Action in education and employment is not exhaustive to achieve equality. We truncate the essential question. Do such BCs need integration with active State's intervention? Goal of Part IX, Article 15(4) and Article 243D(6) are same, and all intend to promote equality. Purpose of Part IX is to promote Article 14. Is there a need? Yes, as long as BCs exist, and require protection under Article 14, it is a self-evident basis for classification.
Justice Raveendran: Rama Jois' challenge was against the State Legislations (under Article 243D(6)), and not against the Constitutional Amendment.
ASG: Constitutional Amendment must be seen not in the light of State legislations. We treat an amendment by itself. Political equality is essential to ensure living condition, and dignity of people; reservation for them is justified. This amendment is not liked because it marks a silent revolution, people are empowered. Earlier BCs were not allowed to chair Panchayat meetings. It is a change. The amendment intensifies, and strengthens the basic structure. Take Article 330. It is different from Part III. A.330 is an additional protection as a means to a possible end. If BCs need special provision in Articles 15 and 16, they need Part IX for participation. The structure of governance is bigger than right to vote. Part IX aims at equalisation of status, not equalisation of opportunity. Status is not defined in the Constitution. Caste, when it is subjected to disabilities of social class, becomes a class.

Sudhir's clear piece brings to mind Ely's theory of the primary role of courts as counter-majoritarian institutions. as such, OBC reservations in elections appears to be wrong. also, the indian debate needs to see the different justifications for affirmative action - political participation, redistribution and recognition. electoral reservations can only be to correct insufficient political participation, and therefore requires a wholly different rationale from one dealing with material advancement through jobs.
Right to vote and right to contest are not fundamental rights then there is some thing fundametally wrong with the Indian constitution.
Social justice, equality, redistribution and etc words are so ambiguous and really very boring to hear about these words.
These days money makes wonders and money is every thing. Caste neither buy food nor health. Can you give one instance that poor forward caste people are treated at super speciality hospitals free of caste because they are forward caste or incompetent forward caste job seeker given a job because he is from forward caste. Poor are disadvantageous irrespective of their caste and the term poor itself is temporary and changes with time. If govt is really interested to uplife poor they should provide reservation based on ecomical criteria and not referene to caste. Which is a coherent policy and improves national integration, patriotism and love for the country.
Govt is going on increasing reservations. The real problem here is: the beneficieries of the reservation dont have gratitude for the country and naturally, forward caste people are disliking the system. The effects are patriotism and love for the country are missing from young generation. these will have a profound impact on the country in the future.

Equality as a fundamental principle to govern the nation
is being sacrificed in the altar
of identity politics.This does not bode well for the polity of India.
Soon the demands for extending
reservations for minorities in
local bodies will be made more
vociferously and some will
invent justifications for them
under Article 15(4).is equality an
obsolete principle in the constitutional scheme of things.
Does the constitution read wholistically suggest that caste
based reservations are permissible
for any purpose at all times.
If the reservation on the basis
of caste is upheld soon there
will demands to bifurcate it
in to sub-quotas like reservation for OBC,MBC. So where will all this lead to?.Dr.Ambedkar would
have never imagined that independent India would sanction
caste politics in the local bodies
like this.

We are thrilled to be getting Quan for this crucial position, and we have tremendous faith in his ability to lead our company toward even greater success in both scripted and unscripted comedy.
Quan is a bright, gifted executive whos managed to do great things at FBC, both on the comedy and the drama sides, added Twentieth Century Fox Television co-president Dana Walden. He brings the benefit of his experience there as well as established relationships both with the creative community and those within our own companies. Best of all, writers are crazy about him, and we know hes going to attract amazing talent to this studio.
Phung will oversee all activities of the studios comedy development department. Reporting to him are directors Lynn Barrie, Amy Hartwick, Nicholas Weinstock and manager Brad Bertner.
Phung was vp, Drama Development for the Fox Broadcasting, helping to develop the just launched NORTH SHORE as well as the series HOUSE, JONNY ZERO and THE INSIDE.

Knife Tattoo Ideas
Knife tattoo ideas could convey a countless concepts...from devotion to military obligation to expressing the sharp edge of betrayal.
Most of my friends with knife tattoos tell me they got them when they were young. These tattoos often signify a lost love, and the knife conveys a cold, steely pain encountered with having been cut by the brutality of a lovers neglect or betrayal. In this scenario, we could also say a tattooed knife could symbolize a "cutting away" from a bad relationship - slicing through the trauma & difficulties caused by a lover and becoming liberated from the drama of a dysfunctional relationship.
Many times a knife tattoo can express a feeling of sacrifice. This conveyance is ancient, and deeply rooted in many religious/spiritual sects in which sacrifices have been (and still are in some cases) practiced for eons. Do you find yourself in a position of intense sacrifice? Do you hold to a singular devotion, faith or purpose that you would die for? An ornate, glistening knife tattoo might be something to consider to outwardly express that kind of intensity.
Interestingly, in Buddhist symbology the knife often represents cutting the ties of materialism. Are you vehemently against consumerism? Do you find materialism is the bane of your existence, holding you back from true freedom and enlightenment? In this sense, a knife may be an appropriate way to galvanize the act of liberating oneself from the binding ties of materialistic urge and greed.
When I think of knives, and knife tattoos, I think of the suit of swords in the Tarot. This esoteric suit represents challenges, usually wrought from mental nuances like doubt, fear, worry. In a cavalcade of (often tormented) archetypes in these cards, we see a constant struggle to slice through confusion. The knife in these cards symbolizes the double-edged nature of the mind.
Here are some at-a-glance symbolic keywords to augment your own research into knife tattoo ideas...
The mind can be a remarkable representative of clarity and can expertly slice through befuddlement. Simultaneously, the mind can be a true enemy, turning and stabbing its owner in the back. I suspect a larger indwelling presence is designed to navigate the strokes of a knife. But, until we can all commune with that presence, a knife might be an apropos tattoo to express that dual nature of the mind - both helpful and potentially cruel.
I love knives, and used to collect them - I never really knew why - they just gravitated to my curiosity. Much later, I invested some time in understanding why blades appealed to me. It's their cleanliness, the shine, their ability to carve through metaphorical crap. So utilitarian, yet so beautiful and elegant. A magnificent, multi-purpose tool - that, when well-crafted could also be a work of art.
So you see, the knife, as with any tattoo - is most profound when we assign our own understanding to it.
I hope you have enjoyed these thoughts on the symbolic meaning of knife tattoos. Take some time to consider what the knife represents to you. Because of my odd enchantment with blades, I've written more about the symbolism of them (swords). Check it out more information by clicking on the links at the end of this page.

Choruses join forces with dance team for show benefiting USO
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 22 June 2011 01:00
- Written by Town Crier Report
The Peninsulaires Men's Chorus, the Mission Valley Women's Chorus and the Stanford University Ballroom Dance Team are scheduled to perform 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday at Palo Alto's Spangenberg Theater to raise awareness about and funds for the USO of Northern California.
The groups will sing and dance to music from the 1940s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of service by the USO to America's men and women in uniform. To honor those who have served and USO volunteers, the Peninsulaires Men's Chorus, Mission Valley Women's Chorus and Stanford University Ballroom Dance Team have joined forces for Saturday's event.
The USO of Northern California has three locations: San Jose Airport, San Francisco Airport and Travis Air Force Base. They serve the needs of the armed forces personnel and their families as they travel to and from assignments. Financial support for USO of Northern California comes exclusively through donations from local businesses and individuals – not from the National USO.
Advance tickets to Saturday's concert are $25, discounted to $20 for active-duty military and families.
Spangenberg Theater is located at Gunn High School, 780 Arastradero Road.

How to Save Christianity's Reputation
American Christians who attempt to minister in Muslim-dominated countries must do so with a genuine desire to serve human needs.
One of the little-discussed dangers of our U.S.-led military invasion of Iraq is that the reputation of Christianity in the Middle East will be further damaged. Whether the impression is legitimate or not, it is a simple fact that American Christians who attempt to minister in Muslim-dominated countries are viewed as agents of the policies of the United States government. We evangelical Christians are especially vulnerable on this score, since we firmly believe in the need to witness to people of other faiths about Jesus Christ, thus reinforcing the hostility of extremist Muslim groups.
The present situation, then, offers an important opportunity for evangelicals to demonstrate their deep concern for the fundamental physical needs of suffering people in Iraq. I am convinced that these two evangelical groups who are poised to provide humanitarian aid to the Iraqi people can perform a crucial service--not only to the people they are reaching out to, but also for the cause of Christianity in the world.
But--and this is an important qualification--we must do this with a genuine desire to serve human needs. If this is viewed as a pretense for evangelism it will only hurt the Christian cause--and perhaps further endanger the lives of the 600,000 Christians in Iraq (about whom surprisingly little has been said in the recent discussions of "God-talk" and American foreign policy!).
I rejoice in the stated purposes of the Southern Baptists and Franklin Graham's ministry. And I will pray that these evangelicals will be given both the wisdom and courage to witness silently but compellingly to the spirit of Jesus as they perform this crucial humanitarian work.

"But it casts a light on the difference in philosophies between the two teams. The Nets are trying to win now, in an era dominated by super teams, and they have no fallback plan. The Cavs are trying to win later, and are hoping to give themselves the best chance at a super team, or a way out for the future.
It isn't that the Cavs have been quiet or in stasis during free agency; they're just not making moves for the sole sake of making moves (see: the Suns acquiring the amnestied Luis Scola). The club has worked out and talked with free agent point guards Derek Fisher and Jonny Flynn, made its qualifying offers to Harangody, Alonzo Gee (still pending) and Semih Erden (off to Turkey) and is still in talks to bring back Daniel Gibson (who is on a team option for 2012-13). Cleveland has been right in the thick of every Dwight Howard rumor as a third team with open cap space. That space is extremely valuable as an asset right now, and GM Chris Grant knows it." [Rickman/SBNation]
An interview with Tyler Zeller– "StepienRules: What are your initial impressions of Cleveland so far? Tyler Zeller: The people are fantastic. They are avid fans and they are very, very nice. I haven't really gotten into the city of Cleveland much, I've got two tours of it, but I really haven't done anything yet. We've been more in Independence where the practice facility is. That's a fantastic practice facility, I went to the Q one time and that's phenomenal also. So I know I'll move there in August / September, and I'll get more experience then." [Bowers/Stepien Rules]
Not Cleveland related, but this is a fantastic quote from Buhner on Ichiro– "Jay Buhner, the man Ichiro Suzuki replaced in right field for the Seattle Mariners more than a decade ago, doesn't want to see his old team sign him to a contract extension this offseason. Ichiro might be putting together a Hall of Fame career, but Buhner has seen what everyone else has during the past season-plus: Suzuki is in decline, he turns 39 in October and he'll be expensive to bring back.
When speaking to ESPN radio in Seattle on Tuesday, the man they called "Bone" cut right to it when it came to Ichiro possibly coming back to Safeco Field full time (text via the Seattle Times): "I'd vomit," Buhner said. "I mean, really, no offense. No offense, we've got to get this organization turned around. You can't be spending all the money on one guy." [Brown/Big League Stew]
Looking at potential trade options for the Tribe– "Headley was a second-round draft pick of the Padres in 2005 coming out of the Univerity of Tennessee and was fast tracked to the bigs, getting his first cup of coffee with the Padres in 2007 after destroying AA. He didn't stick until 2009, playing left field while LGFT Kevin Kouzmanoff held down third. Kouzmanoff was dealt in the offseason (with Eric Sogard for Scott Hairston and (wait for it…….Aaron Cunningham!)), primarily to make room at third base for Headley." [Let's Go Tribe]
"Chicago is energized by a guy the Indians did not go after, and the Tigers finally are starting to look like the team they were supposed to be, winning eight of their last 10 and moving into the second wild-card spot. The Indians are one-half game back, but when it's a Cleveland team, one-half seems like seven-and-a-half." [McManamon/FSO]

Neil Patrick Harris' son and daughter have both been known to don a princess dress from time to time, and that's just fine by him.
The actor and father of two, who is raising twins Harper and Gideon with longtime partner David Burtka, has opened up about discovering his own sexuality, keeping a relationship going and letting kids be kids. A brief look at the 41-year-old star's recent interview with Glamour:
Be with the person you're attracted to.
In high school all my friends were sleeping with girls, and it just seemed like that's what one did. So therefore that's what I did, but it left me feeling unsettled, as if I had somehow done it wrong. That's not a good feeling. But now I think it's easier to avoid that fate. Today, it's cool to see a happy lesbian couple who are high school juniors. Better that than have those two girls marry people they're not attracted to, have three kids, and then come out when they're 50.
If you want relationships to last, live by "for better or worse."
Honeymoon phases end. They just do. We're animals, and animals aren't inclined to copulate with just each other for the rest of their lives. So here's a challenge: How do you keep redefining your relationship? I think you have to find new elements that turn you on, and not only sexually. Having kids was one of those great moments for me. Watching David become another level of person, mastering this other domain, made me look at him with a whole other set of appreciative eyes. That sort of made me re-fall in love with him. That's another important thing to realize. Everyone falls out of love with everything. You fall out of love with your house. You fall out of love with your job. You just have to figure out ways to keep [the love] alive.
Let people be who they are.
When Harper was one or two years old and barely talking, she would put on Disney princess outfits (which she still does, by the way). Everyone would coo and take pictures. Gideon felt left out, so he put on a dress too. We all cooed and aww-ed and there was no weirdness. But after about four minutes, you could see it: He just didn't like it. It was too girly, too frilly, and he just took it off, like, Nah, this is not my thing. Lately he's been wearing construction vests and hard hats, and he asks construction people if he can work with them. He couldn't be happier.
I can honestly say I don't think either of my two sons ever put on a princess dress, but not because I forbid it in any way. The main reason they never did is probably because we didn't have any at home. Unlike Gideon, who has a sister close to his size, we just don't happen to own any 'girl' clothes.
We did visit playgroups quite often when my boys were small, and one in particular had a bucket of dress-up clothes that included everything from dresses and tiaras to firefighter costumes. I think once or twice one of my kids put on some glasses or a hat — but they just weren't interested in that kind of play regardless of the types of outfits. For my two, playtime was all about cars, balls and running wild. Active play, not imaginary, has always been their favorite.
In a teeny tiny way I'd love to have seen them go girly just once, at least long enough so I could snap a photo, but like Neil Patrick Harris said, it just doesn't seem to be my boys' thing.
Has your son ever chosen to wear a dress? Your daughter opted for some sort of 'manly' attire?

I am hoping to get my first golden retriever next summer. I have started researching breeders in the local SW Ohio/Kentucky area and I have a lot of questions.
I will be living in an apartment for at least the next few years. I look forward to daily, long walks with my new dog as well as hiking, camping, and going to the dog park. I know that it will take time to give my dog the appropriate amount of exercise. I am worried that a breeder will not approve me for a puppy knowing that I live in an apartment.
This dog will be primarily a companion for me. I might also certify him as a therapy dog. I am not interested in participating in dog shows or competitions. I have read about common genetic conditions in the breed and I am worried about choosing the right breeder. In my research, I have found complaints about genetic problems from customers of breeders with pedigrees and testing posted on their website. What criteria do you use to choose a breeder? Can you trust the local AKC to refer you to a good breeder? Does AKC registration matter or are there "backyard breeders" that produce quality dogs as well? I am looking for a dog with a calm, submissive temperament. I have noticed that people often do not get to pick their dog from the litter. Has anyone had any trouble with a breeder once they have put down a deposit?
I am considering a GR rescue if I cannot find a trustworthy breeder in my area but I would really like the opportunity to raise a dog from a puppy. Thank you very much for your help!
The best way to find a breeder is to contact your local golden retriever club for referrals. AKC can mean nothing, and if you are concerned about inherited health problems, a backyard breeder is not the way to go. Only reputable breeders produce quality goldens.

As far as living in an apartment, it depends on the breeder. I would suggest detailing your plan/commitment to getting your dog the appropriate level of exercise.
You will find that in Goldens we do unfortunately have many genetic/health issues. In my opinion the only way to go is with a breeder who is aware of and actively trying to eliminate them through testing. That would mean a reputable breeder. I know that sometimes reputable breeders can produce a dog with a problem despite the careful testing/planning, just as a backyard breeder can get lucky and produce a healthy dog without know what health or genetic traits are behind their dogs. A reputable breeder does not guarantee a perfect dog, but it definitely stacks the deck in your favor.
This is a hot topic and you may see some very passionate posts about reputable breeders versus backyard breeders. I hope your thread does not go too far off track
As far as breeders choice on puppy selection, each has their own thought. Some choose for you, some let you choose from the remaining puppies based on your order of "pick", some will narrow it down to two or three that fit you criteria. To me it would not make a difference. I would be comfortable with any of these options. If you are not, ask your potential breeders how they do their puppy selection.
A thought on a breeder that picks for you. This breeder has intimate knowledge of the temperament and personality trait of all the puppies, the mother, the father and potentially generations back. Also, they know when puppies at visitation time are not acting as they normally do. An example could be a puppy who is normally a " holy terror" activity level puppy being calm because they are tired or the calmest puppy being more active than the rest because they just woke up from a nap.
Of course, rescue is always a worthy option. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a puppy.
Good luck in your search.

This forum can be a great network for finding a great breeder. Sometimes through word of mouth breeders here can point you to an upcoming litter. I would also recommend going to shows to meet some goldens and their owners. My daughter and I went to a show and met some great people and some beautiful dogs.
Our family is also looking at getting a pup this spring/summer and I would not hesitate to let a breeder pick out a pup for our family. They know their dogs best. Just be honest and detailed about what you are looking for in a dog.
Good Luck to you. Im sure you're excited. I know we are

This year, for Valentine's Day, we got you this article-shaped box of delicious chocolate artworks. Some of them are sweet, others tend toward the bitter end of the flavor spectrum, a few are very dark, and one is white, but all of them have a distinct taste and form that makes them delectable and unique. Best of all, though these chocolate artworks may melt in your mouth, they are all extremely rigorous.
To read the story with the images, click on the slideshow.
Marina Abramovic, "Chocolate Golden Lips" (2010)
A much less well-known but similarly endearing work that capped Abramovic's "The Artist is Present" marathon at MoMA was the "Gold Ball" performance piece that took place at the closing-night dinner, in which guests applied 24-karat gold leaf to their lips before tasting a "gold ball" dessert prepared by Abramovic from a special Tibetan recipe. The premise was based, appropriately, around the spiritual rewards of a period of fasting. Party favors for the night consisted of a series of limited edition dark-chocolate pieces cast from a mold of Abramovic's mouth, dusted with 24-karat gold — a sweet way to end 700 hours of silence. Since, the works have occasionally popped up on eBay — one recently sold for $406.
Sonja Alhäuser, "Braunes Bad" (2009)
Alhäuser almost exclusively works with edible sweets and, in a bid to relinquish the concept of art's immortality, her exhibitions of marzipan vitrines and chocolate pedestals invite guests to destroy them by breaking off and eating chunks. Performances with "Braunes Bad" ("Brown Bath") have featured the artist literally bathing in chocolate; in installations of the work, visitors are also allowed to dive in.
Janine Antoni, "Lick and Lather" (1993-94)
In an interview with art21, Antoni described the process of making this series of edible self-portrait sculpture bust thusly: "I made a mold, melted down thirty-five pounds of chocolate, poured it into the mold. And when I took it out of the mold, I re-sculpted my image by licking the chocolate." Seven versions of the piece are included in the New Museum's current exhibition "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star," which must have made for a delicious day in the Antoni studio. "It took a long time to make the pieces," Antoni added. "We spent several hours in the tub together. And I think what's important about that is that we were very intimate with each other."
Leandro Erlich, "You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat It Too" (2009)
The Argentinian artist succeeded not just in creating an incredibly realistic replica of a Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Barcelona couch for Kreemart and the American Patrons of Tate's Haunch of Venison Cake Party in 2009, but also made it completely edible. The recliner was so realistic that people couldn't decide whether to sit on it or eat the angel food cake hidden underneath the layer of leathery-looking chocolate.
Anya Gallaccio, "Stroke" (1994)
As with many of her works, the artist's 1994 installation of chocolate-covered wall hangings and a bench put a morbid twist on temptation, with the deteriorative process of oxidization gradually transforming the work into an aesthetic tableau of decay. The result was something like "death of chocolate," as opposed to "death by chocolate."
Terence Koh, "Untitled (Chocolate Mountains)" (2006)
Though critics couldn't muster much love for the New Museum's 2010 exhibition "Skin Fruit," for which Jeff Koons curated a selection of works belonging to mega-collector Dakis Joannou, the sweet smell that Koh's drippy towers of white chocolate cast across the gallery proved irresistible for most visitors.
Lernert & Sander, "Chocolate Bunny" (2007)
Though perhaps more Easter- than Valentine's Day-related, the Dutch design/art duo's macabre short video puts a darkly comic twist on "I'll melt with you" — in just under three minutes of anthropomorphic horror, we watch three chocolate bunnies, in three different pastel-painted scenarios, die three different slow deaths under the dissolving heat of a handheld household appliance (an iron, lamp, and hair dryer). The background lullaby soundtrack lends what would seem like straight camp an adult sense of tragedy and childish sense of glee, and captivated Internet audiences around the world.
Paul McCarthy, Chocolate Santa with Butt Plug (2007)
Paul McCarthy's chocolate Santa-shaped butt plugs spiced up the holiday season in 2007, as part of an art pop-up project at Maccarone Gallery in the West Village. McCarthy set up a working chocolate factory for six weeks in the space, where he produced approximately 1,000 of the edible figures daily, and sold them for $100 each to naughty buyers.
Egle Rakauskaite, "Chocolate Crucifixes" (1996/2004)
For the 2004 October Art Salon in Belgrade, the Lithuanian artist Egle Rakauskaite — whose works have included human hair, jasmine flowers, fat, and honey, among other organic and perishable materials — recreated her 1996 installation using dozens of chocolate sculptures representing Christ on the cross, half of them upside-down, to create an ornate wall pattern.
Dieter Roth and Björn Roth, "Selbstturm (Self Tower)" (1994-2013)
This installation by the father-son team involves a fully functional sculpture studio — whose material of choice just happens to be chocolate — working in the gallery to produce stacks and stacks of delicious busts. A version of the 1994 original, which is housed at the Dieter Roth Foundation's Schimmelmuseum in Germany, is currently churning out chocolate sculptures at Hauser & Wirth's new location in Chelsea. Just don't count on snapping one up for a last-minute Valentine's Day gift — they're out of most people's price range.
Jennifer Rubell, Chocolate Jeff Koons Runny (2009)
For its 2009 gala, New York's performance art biennial Performa tapped food artist — and collector progeny — Jennifer Rubell to create a messy and decadent feast with biblical undertones in the former DIA Art Foundation building in Chelsea. In addition to a room whose ceiling dripped with honey and a giant pile of BBQ ribs, Rubell created a set of chocolate bunnies in the style of Jeff Koons's iconic stainless steel sculptures, which diners were invited to smash with a hammer.
Ed Ruscha, "Chocolate Room" (1970)
While many of the U.S. artists invited by curator Henry Hopkins to exhibit in the American Pavilion at the 35th Venice Biennale declined in protest of the conflict in Vietnam, Ruscha (who originally intended to decline as well) sweetened to the idea, and eventually covered the walls of an entire gallery with sheets of paper that had been screenprinted with chocolate. Protesters attending the Biennale etched anti-war messages into the chocolate, effectively reclaiming it as a protest monument; later in the summer ants were attracted by the pungent chocolate odor and began eating the installation.
Hannah Wilke, "Venus Pareve" (1982-84)
The female body was a recurring motif in feminist conceptual art icon Hannah Wilke's work throughout her career, from her folded clay pieces from the 1960s to the miniature self-portrait series "Venus Pareve" in the '80s. What makes the later so intriguing is Wilke's use of chocolate and plaster as media, exploring notions of consumption, beauty, and her own feminine form.
XVALA, "Banana Split: A Memento for Celebrity Exes" (2012)
Guerrilla artist XVALA is known for taking his inspiration from the scandalous headlines of celebrity tabloids and creating good, old-fashioned, celebrity-mocking art. He literally sifted through pop star Justin Bieber's trash can for his leftovers to make "Banana Split: A Memento for Celebrity Exes," a chocolate sculpture of a banana inside a hot dog bun, as an homage to what he considers the exploitation of personal relationships — in this case the doomed romance of Bieber and actress Selena Gomez.

Herein are photos of many flowers I've been delighted to have at my home for a season or even longer. My home is in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, OK. I'm not exactly your typical home owner for I tend to let things just volunteer to grow as they so choose. Needless to say I get a few surprises now and then popping up in my yard.
Some of the flowers that I've had at my home are what some call a 'nasty weed' or something along those lines. To me they are all beautiful in their own way. Yes, some are a bit annoying at times, but once I look at how wondrous they are I kind of forget that and just let them remain where they've chosen to be.
So come, look inside the covers of this book, and see what beauty there is to see in just a maybe not so typical suburban yard, my yard.
