This article seeks to look into Missouri's Prop B, which will be on the ballot in November. Prop B is the Puppy Mill Bill and it has become a heated debate. I mention Amendment 2 which was the stem cell/cloning bill which barely passed in 2006 here in Missouri. One of the major arguments against the bill – and which I share – was that the bill's summary conflicted with its complete language and therefore lied to the public; in other words it is not a pro-life law. One of the arguments against Prop B is that it is vague and could affect any and all livestock breeders across the state; in other words that the bill lies and has a subversive intent. My hope is to air the bill out.
Let us start with the the summary – which is what will be on the ballot – then the complete text.
Official Ballot Title:
Shall Missouri law be amended to:
• require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles;
• prohibit any breeder from having more than 50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling their puppies as pets; and
• create a misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill cruelty" for any violations?
It is estimated state governmental entities will incur costs of $654,768 (on-going costs of $521,356 and one-time costs of $133,412). Some local governmental entities may experience costs related to enforcement activities and savings related to reduced animal care activities.
Fair Ballot Language:
A "yes" vote will amend Missouri law to require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles. The amendment further prohibits any breeder from having more than 50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling their puppies as pets. The amendment also creates a misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill cruelty" for any violations.
A "no" vote will not change the current Missouri law regarding dog breeders.
If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
Section A. One new section is enacted, to be known as section 273.345, to read as follows:
273.345. 1. This section shall be known and may be cited as the "Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act."
2. The purpose of this Act is to prohibit the cruel and inhumane treatment of dogs in puppy mills by requiring large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with basic food and water, adequate shelter from the elements, necessary veterinary care, adequate space to turn around and stretch his or her limbs, and regular exercise.
3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person having custody or ownership of more than ten female covered dogs for the purpose of breeding those animals and selling any offspring for use as a pet shall provide each covered dog:
(1) Sufficient food and clean water;
(2) Necessary veterinary care;
(3) Sufficient housing, including protection from the elements;
(4) Sufficient space to turn and stretch freely, lie down, and fully extend his or her limbs;
(5) Regular exercise; and
(6) Adequate rest between breeding cycles.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person may have custody of more than fifty covered dogs for the purpose of breeding those animals and selling any offspring for use as a pet.
5. For purposes of this section, and notwithstanding the provisions of section 273.325, the following terms have the following meanings:
(1) "Covered dog" means any individual of the species of the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, or resultant hybrids, that is over the age of six months and has intact sexual organs.
(2) "Sufficient food and clean water" means access to appropriate nutritious food at least once a day sufficient to maintain good health; and continuous access to potable water that is not frozen, and is free of debris, feces, algae, and other contaminants.
(3) "Necessary veterinary care" means, at minimum, examination at least once yearly by a licensed veterinarian; prompt treatment of any illness or injury by a licensed veterinarian; and, where needed, humane euthanasia by a licensed veterinarian using lawful techniques deemed "Acceptable" by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
(4) "Sufficient housing, including protection from the elements" means constant and unfettered access to an indoor enclosure that has a solid floor; is not stacked or otherwise placed on top of or below another animal's enclosure; is cleaned of waste at least once a day while the dog is outside the enclosure; and does not fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or rise above 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
(5) "Sufficient space to turn and stretch freely, lie down, and fully extend his or her limbs" means having (1) sufficient indoor space for each dog to turn in a complete circle without any impediment (including a tether); (2) enough indoor space for each dog to lie down and fully extend his or her limbs and stretch freely without touching the side of an enclosure or another dog; (3) at least one foot of headroom above the head of the tallest dog in the enclosure; and (4) at least 12 square feet of indoor floor space per each dog up to 25 inches long; at least 20 square feet of indoor floor space per each dog between 25 and 35 inches long; and at least 30 square feet of indoor floor space per each dog for dogs 35 inches and longer (with the length of the dog measured from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail).
(6) "Regular exercise" means constant and unfettered access to an outdoor exercise area that is composed of a solid, ground level surface with adequate drainage; provides some protection against sun, wind, rain, and snow; and provides each dog at least twice the square footage of the indoor floor space provided to that dog.
(7) "Adequate rest between breeding cycles" means, at minimum, ensuring that dogs are not bred to produce more than two litters in any 18 month period.
(8) "Person" means any individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, limited liability company, corporation, estate, trust, receiver, or syndicate.
(9) "Pet" means any domesticated animal normally maintained in or near the household of the owner thereof.
(10) "Retail pet store" means a person or retail establishment open to the public where dogs are bought, sold, exchanged, or offered for retail sale directly to the public to be kept as pets, but that does not engage in any breeding of dogs for the purpose of selling any offspring for use as a pet.
6. A person is guilty of the crime of puppy mill cruelty when he or she knowingly violates any provision of this section. The crime of puppy mill cruelty is a class C misdemeanor, unless the defendant has previously pled guilty to or been found guilty of a violation of this section, in which case each such violation is a class A misdemeanor. Each violation of this section shall constitute a separate offense. If any violation of this section meets the definition of animal abuse in section 578.012, the defendant may be charged and penalized under that section instead.
7. The provisions of this section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other state and federal laws protecting animal welfare. This section shall not be construed to limit any state law or regulation protecting the welfare of animals, nor shall anything in this section prevent a local governing body from adopting and enforcing its own animal welfare laws and regulations in addition to this section. This section shall not be construed to place any numerical limits on the number of dogs a person may own or control when such dogs are not used for breeding those animals and selling any offspring for use as a pet. This section shall not apply to a dog during examination, testing, operation, recuperation, or other individual treatment for veterinary purposes; during lawful scientific research; during transportation; during cleaning of a dog's enclosure; during supervised outdoor exercise; or during any emergency that places a dog's life in imminent danger. This section shall not apply to any retail pet store; animal shelter as defined in section 273.325; hobby or show breeders who have custody of no more than ten female covered dogs for the purpose of breeding those dogs and selling any offspring for use as a pet; or dog trainer who does not breed and sell any dogs for use as a pet. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit hunting or the ability to breed, raise, or sell hunting dogs.
8. If any provision of this section, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid or unconstitutional, that invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect other provisions or applications of this section that can be given effect without the invalid or unconstitutional provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this section are severable.
9. The provisions herewith shall become operative one year after passage of this Act.
On the face of it, from a reading of the summary, the bill comes off pretty well. My family used to raise bulldogs years ago for show and sale, and at most we might have had ten adults and seventeen puppies (only once at one time). I cannot fathom nor understand the idea or reality of having 50 breeding dogs, but then we did it as a hobby, not a business per se, viewing each dog as a pet, not mere stock. The bill – at least the summary – appeals to a sense of good emotion and reason. Dogs are not cattle, pigs nor chickens. 50 would seem to set the bar high and "liberal", though I know nothing about commercial puppy "farming". 50 breeding dogs may be pretty standard.
The actual bill does have some troubling and vague aspects. One of the arguments made by many people in rural areas is a belief that this bill/law would extend to cattle and other livestock. However, the bill throughout notes it is focused on dogs and defines it as such in section 5(1). That said, perhaps some people see a contradiction or vague set up with 5(9).
My problem with the bill is its redundancy and potential for abuse (how ironic). Yes, Missouri has the/or is one of the largest number of puppy farms in the U.S., but they seem to be monitored fairly rigorously. It seems that every few months you hear of a puppy mill having been raided and rescues performed. There are already a number of laws on the books which law enforcement uses to monitor, regulate and prosecute puppy mills for abuses.
Sections 5(2) and 6 would seem to be open to interpretation and abuse. Who determines what appropriate amounts of food or good health are? What is the standard to base it? The same goes for water; is 100% purity demanded at all times? As soon as a dog drinks from a water source, that water is effectively contaminated, especially if they've just come in from an open yard. Furthermore, breaking any portion of this bill would label the offender guilty of animal abuse/cruelty and breaking the law as a whole. That however would turn it over to the interpretation of a judge in sentencing.
I realize that any time any business has laws and regulations governing it, there is the potential for abuse by bureaucratic officials to subjectively apply the laws, but this bill would seem to codify the potential for loose interpretation by an inspector at his/her whim.
All it would take is for an inspector who doesn't like a particular breeder to visit a kennel and find one dirty water dish – never mind that the bowl may have been cleaned and refreshed that morning as every morning – and cite the business for a violation and thus subject to full legal action. An extreme view and estimation, but it's certainly in the realm of possibility.
Here are two sites discussing the two "views" on the bill:
St. Louis Post Dispatch
This brings up a question about who is behind the bill, HSUS or the Humane Society of the United States. I must note that my initial response upon hearing the name was to immediately and directly connect it to local Humane Societies. Apparently nothing could be further from the truth. The two are not connected by anything except name. That said, considering what I've learned about HSUS, it will no doubt give the local Humane Societies a bad name – guilt by mere name association. People on both sides of the issue should make a specific point to clarify that HSUS and HSMO are not related nor connected and that HSMO does not stand behind nor accept HSUS' platforms.
A complaint against the abuses by some breeders seems to be lax law enforcement. Well, that's when you go after the government to do their job. You don't create more laws, you enforce the ones you already have. It's a similar issue with illegal immigration and guns.
I agree that we should take care of animals and not needlessly or purposefully abuse them, we are stewards and caretakers of this world and everything in it, but I find the law partially vague, open for abuse and overall, redundant. As to HSUS' involvement, that alone gives me serious pause to support it, especially if the accusations are true that this is part of a larger plan.
For futher perusal –
Yes on B
No on B
The Humane Society of Missouri
"The Dave Glover Show" on local radio station 97.1 FM (Talk) recently had an on-air debate between two people concerning Prop B, for and against. I have heard it was pretty good, though I've not been able to hear it. Check their "audio on demand" for Monday, Oct. 11th, 2nd hour to listen to it.
A commenter from an article at the Missourian who states he's a veterinarian gave a brief synopsis of the on-air debate: "Anita Andrews of The Alliance for Truth confronted Barbara Schmitz on air in St. Louis about Prop B.
Barbara evaded the question about why HSUS, shelters, and rescues were not going to be included under Prop B. After the debate, the hosts ripped Ms. Schmitz on her obvious evasion of the question.
For those of you who would like to listen:
click on the date 10-11-10 hr2 when it is done click 10-11-10 hr 3. This should educate everyone on what HSUS is really all about. This is the Show Me State! We had a room full of people when we played it. Some we really undecided until they heard the broadcast." If you go back and review the bill above, shelters and rescues are not mentioned at all.
As I noted to someone recently who was supportive of the bill because it sounded nice; just because a bill/law sounds nice doesn't mean it's a good or necessary law.
It's up to you the voting public to determine whether or not this law is acceptable and needed. If it passes, only time will tell whether or not it is truly good or necessary. Certainly a bill could be brought forth to repeal it, but repealing laws are typically more difficult than getting them passed.
As I noted in the beginning of this piece, Amendment 2 (2006) barely passed and the vote was pretty well split Kansas City/St. Louis for, everywhere else against. I suspect we'll see voting along similar lines for this bill next month.

I think learning about various religions is an important thing, but I don't think it should be mandatory. If you want to find out about something, a course telling you about what it is useful... but with religion I find that doing the research yourself is much more valuable. I'd be afraid the courses would end up being taught by someone with a strong bias and come off as preachy.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
María, 56, is married and has three children. She only went to first grade because of the poverty in which her parents raised her. This is why she never found a formal job and had to look for family jobs to earn some income to feed her family. This is how María started working in agriculture and raising grazing livestock.
The whole family is involved in this work. María also has a pond where she raises shrimp and fish to sell to the neighbors in her community.
The loan María's requesting from Fundación Campo is to buy two calved cows. With them she'll have food and an additional income for her family. She'll also sell milk to her neighbors and be able to supply other needs for her family.
María's thinking that in the future she'll buy several dairy cows so she can earn a daily income to improve her house.

Todo el grupo familiar se involucra en estas labores, también tiene un estanque donde cría camarón y pescado, para venderle a los vecinos de su comunidad.

CLEVELAND (AP) - Browns wide receiver Greg Little's driving has him in legal trouble again.
In April, Little was involved in a single-car accident. He admitted to driving 127 mph, hit a guardrail, knocked down a light pole and left 40 yards of brake tracks. He was fined $350.
Last month, Little was cited for driving 81 mph in a 60 mph zone.
Little had four catches for 33 yards in the Browns' 14-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Adventure Nepal
Hi There!
We are booked on the adventure Nepal trip on the 18th of November. Wondered if there was anyone else booked to go - would be great to hear from you!
We are also booked to go on the Adventure Nepal trip In November. We had booked for the same time last year but is was cancelled as no one else was booked, so its great to here it will definately go ahead this time.
Heidi & Paul
Hi everyone,
I am going to be on the trip too. I am coming on my own and really looking forward to it. I have been to the Indian Himalayas before, but this will be my first trip to Nepal. I have wanted to do this trek for a long time, so counting down to November now.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Is anyone else going on the trek smart day and do you think its worthwhile?
Hi Heidi / Paul,
We haven't decided on the treksmart day yet - let us know if you decide to go!
Jenny and karen
Hi Again,
We have decided its def worthwhile for us having never been on a trekking hol before!!! We have booked onto the High Wycombe one on 17th Sept. Have you been on a similar hol before?
Heidi and Paul
We have not done an official trekking holiday, although we have done independant walking hols in the alps and northern spain.
We would probably go to the course in Buxton tho' as it is closer for us, but still haven't actually decided!
Jenny and Karen
Hi Everyone,
Just booked on the trip a few days ago and very much looking forward to it. It is my first time doing anything like this, other than day trips in the hills and mountains in the UK. Glad I will not be the only one who has not been on a trek before!
Hi again everyone,
Well only 8 weeks to go now!!! Trevor, Paul is very pleased to hear another man is booked on the trip....think he was getting worried he would be surrounded by only women!!! We went on the Treksmart day last Saturday and found it very helpful with regards to packing and Malaria precautions. Feels abit more real now!!! Looking forward to meeting you all.
Heidi and Paul
Hi everyone!
We are really looking forward to the trip now - can't wait. Unfortunately, we couldn't get on any of the trek smart days due to work commitments, but glad to hear it was a useful day. Any tips you can pass on would be appreciated!.
Just putting together our packing lists and trying to squeeze everything into a 65 litre trek bag (it's not happening!).
really looking forward to meeting everyone.
See you soon!
Jenny and Karen
Hi Jenny and Karen,
My god you are organised!!! On the day we were told one set of clothes for wearing and one for washing!!!! Hence I've since cut my mass of stuff down to four sets....can't quite manage just the two.....still having trouble squeezing it all in though!!
The other thing was the list said to bring 1 1l water bottle but we were told you actually need 2 each....maybe worth knowing in advance. The guide said our trip was one of her favourites so very excited now.
Only 7 weeks tomorrow!!!!
Heidi and Paul
Hi All,
Wow - four changes of clothes - will have to work on that one! Trouble is that once the sleeping bag is in, there is not much room for much else - lol. Thanks for the advice about the water bottles, we will get another each.
Have had a nightmare trying to get hold of rabies vaccine - have you had any problems? We finally sourced some yesterday, but are having to pay more for it :-(
Anyways, just over a month to go - looking forward to meeting all of you!
Jenny and Karen
Hi All
I have also booked on this trip, looks pretty cool.........................hopefully that wont be the theme at night when trying to sleep?
With that in mind am going to buy a pretty good sleeping bag, looking forward to this little adventure, and getting away from the rat race for a couple of weeks.
I have been told that the Nepalese people are extremely friendly. Also another intresting thing is apparently its worth takeing rubbers and pencils for the kids in the villages as a bit of a gesture. I need to just clarify this though as heard it through a second party.
Hi all,
Hi Rob, another ally for Paul and I.
Heidi and Paul, thanks for the tips on packing, makes the decision of what to take easier and the shopping list shorter....might be able to squeeze in a few rubbers and pencils now!
Was any mention made of using an hydration system (bladder) as that is what I intened to do?
See you all soon,
Hi Trevor
I will veryify the rubber and pencil thing first, before you raid W H Smiths. I should find out in a week or so if that is a correct story.
I know when I was in deepest Africa a couple of yrs ago the people in villages sourround you there asking for clothes, and moisturiser believe it or not.
Hi again,
Jenny / Karen. We are not actually bothering with the rabies injection due to cost. The Treksmart day said its totally a personal choice and my doctor did not think it necessary so lets just hope its not an issue!!!! Same was said re malaria tablets, usually half the group do take them and half don't according to the course leader.
Trevor.....the issue of using a hydration system was talked about...it was actually recommended that 2 water bottles each was the best choice as these are filled daily for us by group leaders and more hygenic on the trek....but some other people still intended to take theirs...so maybe worth taking one bottle at least maybe!!!
Rob....good to hear another man is on the trip to balance out the group dynamics abit....thanks for the advice re pencils and rubbers....tho not sure I'll be able to fit anything else in my rucksack at the mo.....really struggling with cutting the amount of clothes down.....not the time to be all girly about packing I guess lol !!!!!
Well looking forward to meeting you all soon....can't believe how close we are now!!!! Oh is anyone else planning on doing the everest flight???? We should get the chance and it costs about £90 each apparantly but we need to ask asap on arrival.
Heidi & Paul
Hi all
I'm glad everyone is so chatty! I was a little worried about going alone, but I'm not now! :)
I've booked on this a bit late, so I'm rushing about organising bits and bobs. I can't wait! I'm so excited!
Thank you for all the useful information. I'm slightly concerned about what clothing to pack too. It's definitely a girly thing! I was being quite good with changes of clothes, but I'm worried about being cold. The notes say to bring a down jacket (which I have) and a fleece, do you think that will be enough? Any more though and it won't fit in the bag!
I'm not planning on taking malaria tablets. I already have my rabies (sounds strange doesn't it?), but I wouldn't bother otherwise. I'd say you'd be pretty lucky to see any animal that close, let alone get bitten by it!
I'd be very keen on doing the everest flight if anyone else is. Once in a lifetime opportunity I'd say, since I'm not planning on hiking to it ;)
Another worry of mine is the visa. Clearly I'm not too keen on sending my passport off this late in the day so I was planning to get it when I was there. Is anyone else doing that?
Well my name is Ross and i booked it yesterday, just read all yor posts, jeezus i better get organised, which will probably be on the 17th !!.
Looking forward to it, just a bit unsure about the bag situation, massive rucksack which wont be big enough i think, or ski bag ??
Hi Verity and Ross too
The bag situation is a bit of a debate with me, have a backpack, but how big should your day pack be, hmmm?
Also taking a down jacket takes up a lot of space, another do I, dont I.
I bought a four season sleeping bag from Blacks today, they were on offer in our local shop, so may be worth looking out for.
Hi all,
Thanks for the tips on bottles Heidi and Paul, will probably just take two of them, then
Hi Verity, I am going to get my visa on arrival, having previously downloaded the form from http://www.nepembassy.org.uk/visa.php. Having looked at a number of forums, the process of obtaining a visa upon entry seems fairly straight forward....don't forget your photo for the visa though.
Hi Rob and Ross, a normal 25 -30lt day sack should be ok for the necessities you need to carry with you during the day. I've just brought a 100lt wet and dry bag (it has a useful compartment for keeping the wet/dirty stuff completely separate from your "clean" clothes) from Cotswolds for the rest of the things I need to take. I am not going to take a down jacket; I tend to "run hot" and will just use the appropriate layers to keep warm and dry.
It's frightening how quick the time is going, we will be sitting in the departure lounge before we know it!
Check this guys web site on Virtual Tourist for lots of tips whilst visiting Nepal. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/50192/6ec/
Hi Verity,
Yes we are very interested in doing the Everest flight as like you say...once in a lifetime opportunity!!!! Don't forget the $40 dollars for the visa either...we were told it has to be $ as they will not accept any other currency when entering. We too are doing the visas when we arrive.
We are taking our down jackets, a waterproof and fleece....well I hope...have not actually tried to fit everything in yet!!!
Can't believe how close it is now!!! Exciting stuff
Hi All,
only a few weeks to go...!!
We are also keen on doing the everest flight, if other people are going for it.
Finally got our rabies vaccines sorted after having to go private. I Would really recommend taking anti malarials though as I have seen a quite a few people in hospital who have been told it is up to them whether they take them or not, and have then promptly contracted malaria. Chitwan national park is a high malaria risk area and the antimalarial can be obtained without a prescription for about £30.
Think I have packing sorted now although it is still a bit like the krypton factor trying to fit everyhting in! - have down jacket which I can squish into a suprisingly small stuff sac which is great. I was also planning on taking a water bottle plus my hydration system.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
Jenny and Karen
We agree with Jenny and Karen's recommendation to get anti-malarials.
Please speak to a travel clinic or your GP about which anti-malarials are appropriate: some anti-malarials are significantly less effective in certain parts of the world.
Have a great trip everyone.
Kind regards
Sean Hughes
Customer Operations Manager
The Adventure Company
Ive got a warm fleece, and jumper, will a down Jacket be really necessary ??. Struggling for space and weight 1.
Hello everyone!
Not long to go now! :) I've just stuffed everything into my bag, and it fits...so far, I expect I'll find something rather large that I've forgotten!
Thanks for the advice, Trevor, Heidi and Paul, I'll try not to forget my 40 dollars. Is everyone taking the pound otherwise?
I'm definitely taking antimalarials now!! I'd rather be safe than sorry.
More questions...what sort of waterproof jacket do you all think is appropriate? I've packed a small thin one, but am now concerned that maybe a more substantial one may be better.
Ross, I guess it depends how cold you get. I'm usually freezing. I rang the adventure company and someone told me it typically gets to about 10 at night, but the lowest it's been is 1 at this time of year, but that was unusually cold.
Cant wait to meet you all!
Thanks Verity, 10 isnt too bad, i can cope with that and if it gets cold ill just get in my sleeping bag, my down jacket just takes up so much space which id rather sacrifice for other stuff !!
Hi Everyone,
Hope everyone isn't getting too stressed about the packing! I asked about currency this morning Verity, and it seems you just have to take stirling or US dollars with you and then exchange it in Nepal. Not sure how much to take though....
I have also just packed a very light waterproof as we are going in one of the driest months, so I was hoping this would be ok. (my better jacket just won't pack small enough).
Really looking forward to meeting everyone - will be looking out for other intrepid-looking sorts at Heathrow :-)
Jenny and Karen
Hi All,
Jenny and Karen we were told to take around £200 each and then as back up $100 each of travellers cheques.
Yes def going for the malaria tablets now but only for the Chitwan part of trek as was told on the Treksmart day that all the trek routes are almost no risk areas so hope I've got enough now!!! I went for the more expensive ones tho as was advised they have far less nasty side affects......having sickness etc on the rafting would not be desirable to say the least!!!!
Well not long now....can't believe its come around so quickly!!!!
See you all soon.
Heidi & Paul
I'm off to Nepal around April. Can't wait. Have fun guys, let me know how it goes!
Hi All
Well all packed, it is close now as started taking malaria tablets yesterday. I guess we will all have a mad four days at work, tying up loose ends before the trip.
I know its only the Chitwan part that only poses risk but better safe than sorry :)
I dont know about everyone else but the preperation in what you are going to take for this trip takes some thinking about :)
Also def intrested in doing the Everest flight, the weather looks good for our arrival too. http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Kathmandu-NPXX0002

Specifics on the EventThe Fifth Saturday Contra Dance will be held at Christ Church Wells Hall, 310 North K Street, Tacoma - directions below. It is well-known as one of the sweetest halls in Puget Sound. (Note: It's the same location as the Tacoma Contra Dance that's held on most Third Saturdays.) The dance will run from 8:00 - 11:00 pm. The cost is $9.00, with a $2.00 discount for 18 down and 65 up. As always, a 10% discount will be available to Seattle Folklore Society members who request it. There will be a newcomers' intro-lesson at 7:30 pm. Contra dancing is "not rocket science", and by the third dance, anyone looking out over the crowd will likely be unable to tell who just learned that evening! We are proud of the tradition of asking newcomers and visitors to dance, and looking after them on the dance floor. (Experienced dancers often bring friends they've been wanting to introduce to contra dancing, and help out by dancing in the mini-lesson.)
Directions to Wells Hall
310 North "K" Street, Tacoma
From Seattle, "Eastside" of Lake Washington, or Des MoinesI-5 south to exit 133 (Tacoma City Center). Then take I-705 and the Schuster Parkway exit on the right (still called I-705). From there again stay right and take the Stadium Way (first) exit from Schuster Pkwy. At the top of the exit ramp, turn right. The street goes up hill. Follow it til it ends, then swing left onto North 1st. You pass Stadium Thriftway and a Chevrolet lot, and then merge into Division at a traffic light. Continue on Division, turn right onto North "K". Wells Hall is the second building on the left. Enter the dance through the church courtyard.
From OlympiaTake Interstate 5 to Tacoma, exit 132 (Route 16-Gig Harbor exit), which is quite a bit south of the center of Tacoma. Head for Route 16 (skipping the S 38th St exit); once in the curving exit ramp, keep your eyes peeled for the immediate first exit (1A); to Sprague Avenue. Once on S Sprague Ave at street level, you're heading north; pass lights at 19th and 12th (or 11th) until you come to multi-way light at 6th. Take the soft right into Division (not the sharp right into 6th). Follow Division to the light at North "K" Street and take a left. Wells Hall is the second building on the left.
From West of the Narrows BridgeTake WA 16 east across the Narrows, and take exit 1B for Union Ave. Keep left at the fork; follow signs for University of Puget Sound. Turn left onto S Union Ave (at which point you'll be northbound.) Go about 1.5 mile and turn right into 6th Avenue. Follow 6th about a mile to a multi-way intersection; there take a soft left into Division Ave. Follow Division to North "K" Street, where you take a left. Wells Hall is the second building on the left. For more information please contact:

At one time, Second Life was viewed as having great potential for promoting political campaigns.
However, the Houston Chronicle points out that in the current presidential election, Barack Obama and John McCain have largely ignored the SL metaverse:
Campaigns haven't figured out how to reconcile the all-important image and fundraising with a world in which a Gothic nymph can sit in on a congressional hearing – or a Teddy bear might try to donate to a political campaign.
So for now, the Second Life campaign headquarters of Barack Obama and John McCain are pristine, glistening and completely vacant most of the time…
Fundraising is still not an option in Second Life, as there is no way to monitor where the donations are coming from, and the majority of players are from outside the U.S.
Julie Germany of the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet told the Chronicle:
It's been written about in fiction and cyberpunk, this idea that these online worlds could actually be used for political purposes, whether it is to recruit supporters, or train people to take action or to fund raise. It just hasn't exploded the way other online tools have exploded.
Former congressional aide Nancy Scola, who was involved in former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner's much-discussed 2006 visit to SL (screenshot at left), added that options like Facebook, YouTube and MySpace are dominating the online side of politics:
All the air's been sucked out of the room… If you're working inside a campaign, your single goal is to get your guy in the White House. It doesn't leave a lot of room and motivation to play with new technology. Why mess with what's working?

"The Gallipoli Peninsula" Top 5 Page for this destination Gallipoli by Willettsworld
Gallipoli Travel Guide: 121 reviews and 416 photos
The Gallipoli peninsula lies in the European part of Turkey on the western side of the Dardanelles straits. The peninsula, a part of the Byzantine Empire, was gradually conquered by the Ottoman Empire starting from 13th century onwards until the 15th and a few of their forts still remain which helped protect their empire from foreign invaders.
However, the peninsula didn't see any battles until World War I when British, French, Indian, Australian and New Zealand troops landed on the 25th April 1915 in what was to become known as the Gallipoli campaign. However, some of the landings went wrong and troops were landed in the wrong positions causing confusion that lost valuable time. To make matters worse, this was followed up by only tentative advances inland as most of the arriving armies were left on the beaches, allowing for the Ottomans to pour in reinforcements to the area. The battles over the next eight months saw high casualties on both sides due to the exposed terrain, weather and closeness of the front lines. Total Allied deaths were around 21,000 British, 10,000 French, 8,700 Australians, 2,700 New Zealanders and 1,370 Indians. Total Turkish deaths were around 86,700 - nearly twice as many as all the Allies combined. The peninsula is littered with Allied and Turkish cemeteries and memorials. This campaign became a turning point in the national consciousness of several of the participants. Both Australia and New Zealand still celebrate Anzac Day and the Turks consider it a point of national pride. The Gallipoli campaign gave an important boost to the career of Mustafa Kemal, a little-known army commander, who became a national hero, was promoted to Pasha, and became the founder of the modern Turkish state, resulting in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, at the end of World War I. He was then labelled The Father of Turkey (Ataturk).
I came here after driving down from Edirne near the Bulgarian border and visited the town of Gelibolu (Gallipoli town) which is located about 40km north of Eceabat on the eastern side of the Gallipoli peninsula and I've included it and its attractions here as it doesn't have its own destination page. I then stayed overnight at Eceabat and then explored the museums, memorials and cemeteries of the peninsula the following day by car which is the best way to get around.

Prevention of Puerperal Infection
At the congress of French speaking obstetricians and gynecologists, in Bordeaux, France, October 1-5, Dr. N. Gheorgiu, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Bucharest, gave an address on the prophylaxis of puerperal infections and late childbed hemorrhages. It is well known, he said, that late hemorrhages can be traced to two well defined causes: (1) the incomplete expulsion of the placenta and membranes, the placenta fragments that remain, however small, being capable of provoking instantaneous or late hemorrhages, and of being the agents of puerperal infection; (2) puerperal infection. To avoid these emergencies, Professor Gheorgiu's practice is to control the uterine cavity immediately after confinement. This procedure was objected to by the German and the French obstetric schools. The German "Hände weg" slogan was regarded over a long period as an unshakeable principle. It seems now that a turn has set in, for

Cruise boat moved to MemphremagogDecember 05,2012NEWPORT A Lake Champlain cruise boat is getting a new home on another Vermont lake.
The boat Northern Star was taken out of the water Monday in Burlington and moved by truck to Newport on Tuesday where it is waiting to move into its new home, Lake Memphremagog.
Owner and Capt. Chris Johansen formerly captained the Newport Princess, a small tour boat on Lake Memphremagog.
The Caledonian Record reported that Johansen worked for other tour lines on Lake Champlain before deciding to bring a large charter cruise boat to Newport.
The vessel was partially disassembled before being moved early Tuesday. Johansen got a special permit from the state to move the 88,000-pound main deck and hull.
The boats top decks were removed during shipping. It will be reassembled once its back in the water.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Incumbents, first-timers and perennial candidates have filed paperwork with their...

I just installed new brakes on a new used bike I bought. I installed them to be more or less level but riding I feel very forward on the drops. My other bike's hoods are maybe slightly up from level but feel fine (frame is probably 1 cm shorter reach.
But I am just curious what is the norm for hoods. Level, slightly up , way up?

MMORPG.com Warhammer Online Correspondent Andrew Bobb writes this guide to combat for the first ten levels of the Magus career in Mythic's RvR game.
The Magus is the ranged damage dealer of the Chaos forces. However, this servant of the Raven God is gifted with a versatile skill set including single and multi target close combat spells as well as the standard long range magic expected of casters. Though still fragile, the Magus does have decent defenses for a caster, thus complementing the multi role skill set. While not a true pet class like the Goblin Squig Herder, the Magus can summon Daemonic servants that add to the disc riding caster's firepower.
The multi role ability of the Magus is shown right from the start with the skills Flickering Red Fire and Daemonic Maw. Flickering Red Fire is a long range elemental damage spell with a two second cast time and no cooldown. Daemonic Maw is a melee range ability that casts instantly and has no cooldown. In addition to dealing damage, Daemonic Maw will cause a hexed target to lose forty percent speed for ten seconds.

Although it is one of your worst spells for AP conservation, Demonic Lash can be lethal in the thick of battle. Combined with DOTs you can get top of the table for damage done and killing blows by spamming this spell. It rocks... until some MDPS class clicks onto you then comes and whoops your ass... oh well, fun all the same hehe

Bike Messenger Scene hits HollywoodComments
by andrew_f_martin on Aug 21, 2007 at 10:04 AM
It seems that Hollywood is stepping back into the bike messenger scene. Looking at the photos from "Blonde Ambition" it looks like a far more glamorous portrayal of the lifestyle than we saw in the '80s flic Quicksilver. Of course how real can it be if the troubled female in the movie is played by…
Jessica Simpson?!

Akio Jissoji, best-known for directing the popular 1960s TV series "Ultraman" and "Ultra Seven," died of stomach cancer Wednesday. He was 69.
After making his first feature film in 1969, Jissoji quit Tokyo Broadcasting System Inc., where he made the super-hero series, to set up his own production company.
The Tokyo native's movies include "Teito Monogatari" ("Doomed Metropolis") in 1988 and "Mujo" ("This Transient Life"), which won the Grand Prix at the Locarno Film Festival in 1970.
He is survived by his wife, actress Chisako Hara.
