1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 07, 2010Reviewer: David in PennsylvaniaExcellent product, can't understand why no one ever came out with a product like this before.
August 02, 2011Reviewer: Mary in New MexicoThese are so good! My entire family prefers these to sweet pickles sweetened with real sugar.
October 27, 2013Reviewer: Randall in ArizonaI didn't care for these at all. They were too sweet at the start and had a bad sour after taste for me. I threw out the rest after trying several of the pickles from two different containers.
The Mt. Olive no sugar added Sweet Gherkins are far superior, at least to my taste. Love those.

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
This is a Waffen-Frankonia 6mm Remington Mauser Action Custom Rifle. Waffen-Frankonia ia a distributer and manufacturer of arms located in Wurzburg Germany. They have been in business since before World War II. Between looking at the style of this rifles stock and the fact that the 6mm Rem. cartridge, also called the 244 Remington, was developed in 1955, my best guess would be that this gun was produced in the late 1950s or 1960s. It looks to me like the gunsmiths started with a military action and went from there. There are no marks under the scope base on the reciever and non to be seen when the stock is taken off. I believe they have been ground off. Barrel, which has been lined to make it a 6 mm Rem. has the current caliber stamped on it, serial number, the numbers 669 with what look to me like german proof marks beside it. The barrel has had the steps ground off and the bore is very nice and is the more desirable 1-in-9 inch twist. Features include a quick release floor plate with button in the trigger guard, shot gun style slide safety and sights that may be used with a high scope mount. Blue finish is very nice. There is a small amount of wear around the barrel crown and a couple of very small blisters in the finish mid way down the barrel, but you have to look real hard to see them. Some one knew what they were doing when they built this rifle. The barrel has not been glass bedded, but instead the stock interior was hand formed to fit the barrel and yet not bind it. The checkered stock is also in great condition with fancy fore tip and grip cap which has an ivory disc set in it to scrimshaw the owners initials in. This one is blank. There is one ding on the edge of the cheek piece and a crease in the right side of the butt. It shows up with the camera flash. Perhaps a vise screwed in a bit too tight? Whatever caused it, it can be felt. However to see it at all you have to look down that side from the butt. Other then that stock is blemish free as is the butt plate. From what I have been able to find out, Waffen-Frankonia has a reputation for high quality European fire arms, although it seems not many are seen in the U.S. If you google the name you will find their current website. This is a very classy hunting rifle.

EVERYBODY DOES IT — Voter Fraud Is Now Officially Off The Table
Thanks to California GOP voter registration fraud case we can now take ACORN fraud off the political table. The California case, where a man hired by the GOP to register new Republican voters allegedly used an outdated address for his own registration, means that EVERYBODY DOES IT!

Manufacturing resurgence in America recapped as Honda hosts MMUG Mtg
Mary Gorczynski 1100006B54 firstname.lastname@example.com | | Emneord:  tivoli service-management ibmontwitter manufacturing ibmsoftware assetmgmt honda software maximo eam asset-management ibmeam
0 kommentarer | 4.479 besøg
Today's blog comes from Sudhee Subrahmanya, Product Manager for Maximo Asset Management.
The Manufacturing resurgence in America has started and is now getting great attention link.
Maximo, being the leading asset management solution, has been used in manufacturing companies for many years now and has contributed its own little bit in bringing efficiency to the Manufacturing sector. The Maximo Manufacturing User Group met on May 22, 2012 at the Honda Manufacturing plant in Marysville OH. Representatives from many manufacturing corporations were present and the conversation with each of them was very enlightening in terms of their approach to implementing their asset management solution. With the release of the new Maximo 7.5 there are many manufacturing companies who are planning to upgrade to the newest version. Because Maximo 7.5 has many cool features that companies need and would contribute to increasing efficiency, most of the customers are planning the move.
During the user group meeting, many customers who had significant experience with Maximo provided their views on various issues. The important business guidelines while implementing or upgrading the Maximo solution are listed below:
1. Involve the stakeholders
Many large manufacturing enterprises have various locations and they also have processes that are specific to their locations. Maximo being very flexible is capable of being tailored according to ones own needs. It is important to make sure that corporations bring in the various stakeholders (such as the various manufacturing teams, middle-managers and the IT team) in at the very beginning of planning an implementation and/or migration. A leading auto manufacturer had three main divisions related to stamping, powertrain and assembly – so the representatives from each of these groups were brought in early to be part of an overall Maximo coordination team. Having such a coordination team greatly helps in getting the views from different users within the enterprise. This also helps the IT team to understand the usage and business needs of the enterprise.
2. Focus on Business Process
Time spent on understanding the business processes of various teams within the organization is very critical to gain tremendous efficiency in the solution. Identifying the various kinds of classifications and data that will be input into the system is important.
With the Maximo solution, many activities can be greatly enhanced by the use of workflow capabilities and leveraging the excellent reporting functionality. The end-users, using Maximo, can focus on their core activities while at the same time providing critical information such as costs, time spent on maintenance activities etc that will provide a comprehensive view into the overall operations. This information can then be analyzed to gain valuable insights into the operations and improve efficiency.
3. Train the users
The end-users are where the rubber meets the road. The end-users must be trained in the usage of the Maximo solution and informed about how their individual actions contribute to the overall value for the corporation. The end-users who input data into the system must be made aware of the importance of entering accurate information into the system. One manufacturer has assigned the accountability of inputting accurate data to each of the managers who oversee the local team. This has greatly helped in making sure that the teams are trained and that the end-users have an understanding of the whole process. This training also empowers and improves the confidence of the end-user technicians.
4. Plan the Reports & Start Center
Maximo provides very powerful reporting capabilities. With Maximo, a user does not have to print all the reports, but can easily email a url-link that refers to the report. This is very efficient and reduces the printing that is needed. Proper planning in reporting using the stake-holder team that was discussed earlier will help in developing common reports across the enterprise. Maximo's multi-language capabilities can be leveraged when the reporting has to be done across multiple geographic locations.
One of the large enterprise users during the meeting mentioned how they have made the reports very actionable by sorting entries in their reports by importance (such as priority and date before which a work-order has to be completed) and also color coding the report. This allows the end-user to look at the list for the day and then identify the specific activities that he or she has to perform.
A focus on what the end-users see when they login into the Maximo system is also very important. Maximo has a very powerful and configurable Start-Center, i.e the screen which a user sees when he or she logs into the system. The Maximo team should make sure that the end-users get the information that they need in a simple manner so that they can focus on their specific responsibilities. The Start-Center must be configured by involving the local users in making sure that they have the information they need. The amount of information that is provided must be 'just right' like in the Goldilocks story. Too much information may overwhelm the end-user and too-little information may not be useful enough for the end-user to carry out their job.
A business manager, tasked with managing and using the Maximo solution implementation must pay attention to each of the points mentioned above.
In conclusion, the Maximo Manufacturing User Group meeting was very useful and it provided valuable insights into the various business and technical aspects of implementing and managing Maximo. Huge thanks to the Honda of America Manufacturing team, led by Rob Mundy, for providing the leadership and hosting the meeting.
The technical best-practices for a Maximo implementation are discussed in this whitepaper.

So, The Ohio Machine were one of two expansion teams in Major League Lacrosse this year. Although they finished last in the league with a 2-12 record, there were positives to be taken away from the Machine's inaugural season.
Reasons for Optimism
Rookies- The Machine got a lot of help this year from rookies. The emergence of Steele Stanwick (A), Joe Cummings (A/M), Kiel Matisz (M), and Marshall Burkhart (DM) give some hope for the future. If the Machine can keep this core of players intact, they will have pieces with which to build around.
Attendance- The Machine finished 6th in the MLL in attendance with an average of just over 3,500 per game. While these aren't the gaudy attendance numbers that powerhouse teams Boston, Chesapeake, and Denver draw, it's a good start for an expansion team. The greatest reason for optimism here is that the Machine did show the ability to draw larger crowds. For the first home game of the season the Machine drew an impressive 6,100+ fans. Also, in the final home game against Boston, the Machine put over 5,000 butts in the seats, Both of those games show that the interest is there from fans in Ohio and that a winning team has the potential to bring a lot of fans to the stadium.
Attack Unit- Chaz Woodson, Jim Connolly, and Steele Stanwick teamed up to be one of the better attack units in Major League Lacrosse. These three players form a solid unit which brings to the table a feeder (Stanwick), a creator (Woodson), and a finisher (Connolly). You can't ask for much more than that folks.
Kyle Hartzell- What can you say about Kyle Hartzell that hasn't already been said? The guy flat out competes. He led the team in groundballs and 2 point shots and was named the team's MVP. Hartzell provides a long term solution at the LSM position, a position very valuable in the MLL. Additionally, Hartzell creates a buzz in the fanbase that is essential for a new team to have.
#1 Pick- The Machine will have the first overall selection in this year's collegiate draft. Peter Baum and Mike Sawyer are both options, but I wouldn't rule out a trade down in order to get a more proven player.
Reasons for Pessimism
Faceoffs- Inconsistency was the name of the game for Ohio this year at the Faceoff X. Eric O'Brien proved serviceable, but was unable to keep up against players like Chris Eck. Now not many guys can hold their own against Eck, but something every really good team has is a dominant FOGO and O'Brien was not that this year.
Goaltending- Stefan Schroder and Brian Phipps were extremely inconsistent this season. They both at time stood on their heads and both struggled mightily other times. Consistent goalie play is another essential ingredient to a dominant team and is something the Machine lacked this year.
Attendance- Wait, what? "I thought this was a reason for optimism" you might be saying. Well it's both. I highlighted earlier two of Ohio's large drawing games which showed that the team has a willing fanbase if the wins are there. Well now I'll tell you about some of the bad news with Ohio's attendance. 3 times this year Ohio finished with an attendance of less than 2,500. That is quite simply not good. It leads me to wonder if the fanbase will be patient enough to stick it out with the young Machine. After the inital honeymoon phase will the fans stick around? I think so, but there is enough doubt in my mind to also make attendance a reason for pessimism.
Charlotte- Charlotte was the other expansion team this season and finished with three more wins than Ohio and also with over 2,000 more fans per game. It is easy to see why this happened to an avid MLL follower but maybe not so easy for the casual fan who has just been introduced to the game. The two franchises used vastly different methods of building. Charlotte went with the quick fix. Obtaining big names such as Matt Danowski and Billy Bitter. They did sacrifice, though, several draft picks (including the first overall pick) and therefore a young nucleus, Ohio went about it the opposite way: stockpiling picks and building from the ground up with guys such as Steele Stanwick. I'm getting off track though. The reason why The Hounds' success makes me slightly pessimistic is because the casual fan in Columbus might not be able to see why the teams have had varying success in their inaugural seasons and therefore only see that Charlotte was better and lose faith in the Machine. That would be bad bad bad for attendance numbers and therefore the longevity of the team.
Offseason Needs
Offensive Midfield- Dan Groot and Matt Casey are not O Middies. There's no other way around it. They are both solid defensive players and are good in transition offense but neither should be utilized in a settled offensive set. Out of necessity this year Groot and Casey played a lot of offense. If the Machine is to take the next step, they will need to solidify another line of O Middies behind guys like Martin, Cummings, and Matisz.
Close Defense- Brett Hughes retired after this season. He was a very good close defender for the Machine and will be missed. Ohio needs to replace him. Max Schmidt and Greg Bice are both good but there is a whole for the third defender slot. Ray Megill is an option, but I see him as being best suited to backing up Hartzell at LSM or even as a short stick defensive middie.
Goalie- The Machine would be well served to acquire another goalie this offseason to push Phipps and Schroder. The Goalie position simply must get better for the Machine to contend for the playoffs.
FOGO- At the very least the Machine need to get someone to back up O'Brien. A change of pace guy in case O'Brien is having a bad game.
Expectations for Next Year
I think it is possible for the Machine to improve to around .500 next season and compete for the playoffs. Having Steele Stanwick and Joe Cummings for a whole season can only help. Plus, the Machine have the opportunity the build through the draft with the #1 selection. Attendance wise, it would be nice to see the Machine experience an increase in attendance, naturally. A realistic goal would be to increase the attendance average above 4,000 and not have any game of less than 2,500. If this happens, I think the Machine could be a team on the rise and could compete for an MLL Championship down the road.

On a regular basis, she receives a loan from Kiva's partner, Hekima, to strengthen her business. She just received her eighth loan. During the previous loan cycle, her sales declined measurably, following a financial crisis looming on the horizon after the country's elections.
Consequently, she decided to seek a smaller amount for this new cycle. She will use this new loan to purchase one bale of secondhand clothing, and use the remainder to pay her children's school expenses. In addition, she would like to see her children grow and buy a land lot.
She thanks Hekima for its action aimed at making low-income women self-sustaining.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

In late May, the Congressional Budget Office released its most recent assessment of the cost of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). This occasioned far less thoughtful discussion of the role of government than it should have, which is unfortunate because there are few better examples of good and bad government interference in markets than those the program embodied.
The original Troubled Asset Relief Program was signed into law three weeks after the September 2008 stock market meltdown and rolled a lot of financial activities into one piece of legislation. The law allowed the U.S. Treasury to buy some $700 billion of collateralized debt obligations (aka toxic assets). These assets were made up of billions of dollars of mortgages, which were, on average, remarkably safe. The problem with them was that it required months to determine the few that were not. As a consequence, they could not sell.
This meant the otherwise healthy banks that held them could not pay off depositors who wanted their money back. While most of these institutions were commercial or investment banks, a run on their assets would've likely sparked a general run on banks across the country. So, for all intents and purposes, the program allowed the U.S. Treasury to act a lot like George Bailey using his honeymoon money to quell a bank run. Just like George and Mary Bailey, the U.S. Treasury got all its money back from supporting liquidity in healthy banks.
If the program had ended there, it'd have cost the government nothing and been heralded an unambiguous success. But it did not end there.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program was also used take over financial firms that were basically bankrupt. These include AIG and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also was extended to bail out two other bankrupt businesses: GM and Chrysler. Here the government lost money.
Popular discussion about the government's interference in markets often conflates the process of insuring liquidity in healthy banks and bailing out failed businesses. It is important to understand the difference. All governments work to ensure a liquid banking system, and, like it or not, it is part of a modern banking system. It is a fairly light touch of government. Bailing out failing companies is a bad practice; this recession demonstrates why with perfect resonance.
First, bailing out a failing company incentivizes risky behavior. Freddie Mac failed in part because it was leveraged 70:1 on assets. The government takeover prevented the type of widespread legal action that would have offered a clear lesson across the economy.
Second, bailing out failing companies effectively punishes those who were doing the right thing. Ford Motor Co. spent the past two decades making cars and trucks that people wanted to buy and streamlining their production costs. Neither GM nor Chrysler could be so inconvenienced. Eschewing high quality production at a reasonable cost, they instead hired lobbyists. Our government rewarded this.
The lesson for big business is to take heavy risks and hire lots of lobbyists. Those are the real costs of government bailouts.

Freed from trash can, an abandoned collie mix named Fawna finds some love
A 9-month-old collie mix found last week in a garbage can in New Stanton, Pa., is now enjoying the things her former owner failed to provide — food, shelter and kindness among them.
She's less frightened, spunkier and has gained 8 pounds since she was discovered by a garbage truck driver on his route on Oct. 30, with her head sticking out of a trash bag.
State police say the dog's former owner, Nicole L. Baker, 50, of Hempfield, tortured the dog by withholding food for about six weeks before leaving the dog in the trash can on Oct. 27, when she moved to Texas to be with her boyfriend.
She has been charged with a misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and a summary count of disorderly conduct.
Police say text messages sent by Baker indicate her actions went beyond neglect.
"Yeah, I am a bad person," Baker wrote in a text-message response to a relative's inquiry about the dog, who she called Mia, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
"By reading through the messages and things of that nature, she had intentionally misled people that were offering to help when it came to taking care of Mia, the dog," Trooper Stephen Limani said. "She acknowledged the fact that at some point in time, she realized what she was doing, she fully knew it was wrong, and still she put a dog, her dog, in a garbage can,"
Fawna was taken to the Humane Society of Westmoreland County and is now in foster care, TribLive.com reported.
"She'll grab my hand with her mouth and play," said veterinary technician Megan Fritz, who is fostering Fawna. "She's finally starting to act like a dog."
At first, Fawna was fed beef and rice every three to four hours, then graduated to lamb and rice dog food. She weighed 17 pounds when found, instead of a normal weight of about 50. She's living with a Great Dane and three cats, and was recently taken on a shopping spree at Burton's Total Pet in Greensburg, and went home with donated toys, sweaters and treats.
"She needs to feel safe and secure for a little while," Fritz said. "I'm blown away by the amount of support and love that people are sending her way."
Among those horrified by the dog's condition was Baker's daughter, Brittany Prinkey, who lives next door to the trailer where her mother lived before moving to Texas.
"I'm super upset with her. I just don't understand how someone could do that," Prinkey said in an interview with WTAE. "I was so upset, I felt like I was going to throw up. I was so sick to my stomach about everything. I couldn't believe it. That garbage can is right over there. I didn't hear anything. No one heard anything. No one knew. It's disgusting."
Prinkey said she seldom sees her mother, and that the dog was healthy when she last saw her in July.
Prinkey said she has been subjected to harassment and threats since the dog was found. "People have been throwing stuff at my house, at my car, threatening me, telling me I should die. I should be put in a trash bag and left to suffocate without food and water," she said.
Humane Society officials said it will probably be two months before Fawna becomes eligible for adoption.
Donations to Fawna's care can be mailed to the Westmoreland Humane Society: PO Box 1552, Greensburg, PA 15601.

Hopeless dogs? Think again
There are plenty of rescue groups that likely do as good a job saving, rehabilitating and re-homing stray dogs as Hope For Paws.
But there is probably none better than that Los Angeles-based non-profit at documenting what they do on video.
Above is their latest rescue video — that of a pit bull, since named Bunny, found abandoned on some government property. Shy, skittish and — even we'd admit — looking a little intimidating, she was lured in with hamburgers and trapped in a crate.
Not until she's transported to safety and let out of the crate do we get the answer to the question that — in addition to the beautiful camera work — keeps us watching: How is she going to react, close up, with a member of the species that treated her so rudely?
Therein lies the beauty of the Hope For Paws videos, and the beauty of dogs.
Bunny, who apparently experienced little kindness in life — with the exception of one good Samaritan who would drop her off some food while she was living in the wild — doesn't just give humans a second chance, she becomes an instant, gentle, trusting and tail-wagging friend.
After a few shy sniffs, she was resting her head on the laps of her rescuers.
Bunny is now up for adoption through Sevadog, an Oregon organization that helps dogs find forever homes. Hope For Paws often teams up with other rescues. In Bunny's case, three were involved, including the group Rescue From the Hart, which notified Hope For Paws about the dog's situation.
Hope For Paws went to the site, found the dog and got her veterinary care — shooting video the whole time.
The videos, which get millions of views on YouTube, help raise funds for the organization, and melt our hearts in the process. But they also bring attention to the issue of stray and homeless dogs, and remind us that, no matter how rough shape a being might be in, hope and love can conquer all.
The Internet age has seen us all become more adept at touting ourselves — as individuals, as non-profit organizations, as corporations. There are downsides to that. One is how easy it has become to mislead the masses. Another is the danger that we all end up spending 10 percent of our time on a project, and 90 percent of our time touting what we've done.
On the other hand, for a non-profit organization, showing the public what it does, in a way that touches the heart, can be a key to survival.
So, all things considered, we hope the Hope For Paws videos keep coming, and we urge you to take at some of the others by clicking the link in this paragraph.
You'll see some dogs in pretty horrid shape, like this one found living in a landfill, but you'll also get transported from sad to happy on your way to the final destination — hope.

Houston mayor apologizes for death of dog left on side of highway by police officer
The mayor of Houston has apologized to a family whose nearly blind Chihuahua was killed after a police officer arrested his owner and left the dog on the side of a busy highway.
"Let me give you a public apology right now on behalf of the city of Houston," Mayor Annise Parker said. "I don't know what airhead – there's another word in my mind but I'm not going to say it – would throw, you wouldn't put a kid on the side of the road. You shouldn't put someone's pet on the side of the road."
The airheaded officer has not been identified.
But police say an internal investigation of the incident is underway, and that it could take six months to complete.
As reported by KTRK, the complaint stems from a July 14 traffic stop. Josie Garcia says her husband and a friend were pulled over for failing to use a turn signal. Police say they found drugs in the vehicle — a prescription medicine called phencyclidine — and arrested both men. (The charges against Garcia's husband were later dropped.)
According to Garcia, the arresting officer wouldn't let her husband call anyone to pick up Guero, the family's 14-year-old Chihuahua who was along for the ride.
Guero had bad vision due to cataracts, she says. He was left on the side of the highway when the vehicle was towed, and the officer took no steps to contact animal control, Garcia said.
"My husband pleaded with the officer to let him call someone to come get Guero … but he said it wasn't his problem, that the dog would be fine," Garcia said.
Three days later, Garcia, who had posted "lost" signs in the area, received a call from someone who had spotted Guero. She found him dead on a shoulder of the Eastex Freeway, about half a mile from where he had been left.
Guero wrapped the dog's body in a towel, took him home and buried him.

Who put a noose around my dog's neck?
A friend recently emailed me this poster she came across online — because the dog with the noose around his neck is the spitting image of my dog, Ace.
Or is it Ace?
For a while, I thought it was my dog, and wondered whether someone had copied one of the many photos of him that have appeared on ohmidog! and elsewhere, and then photoshopped a noose around his neck.
It reminded me of a photo I took of him in Montana about seven years ago, but that was noose-less, and in the middle of a snowstorm (hence the downward cast face). I guess snowflakes can be removed as easily as nooses can be added, though.
I have no problem with the message on the poster, even with its misplaced comma: "Abandoning a dog, means killing it."
That is, usually, the case.
And I have no objection to Ace's image being used for a good cause.
But, if it is my dog, and my picture, someone should have checked with me first before looping a noose around his neck — even if it was done only through photo manipulation.
Is it Ace? I'm not sure. (That's him to the left.)
The dog in the poster looks like him, with his big head, little ears, and high-rise legs. And that seemingly contemplative pose is one Ace strikes frequently.
Then again, the dog in the photo might be just a little grayer around the muzzle than he is.
To try to get to the bottom of it, I turned to tineye.com a reverse image search engine that allows you to play detective on the Internet by uploading a photo and getting a list of websites on which it has appeared.
It, after searching 5.283 billion images in an amazing 0.001 seconds — which is harder than I will ever work — found six results.
Three of them were in English, and two were this French version:
Another one was in Italian, and it was the one that had been on the web the longest.
I clicked on that link and it took me to an Italian government webpage, listing public service campaigns the government had sponsored over the years.
The Ace lookalike appeared in a 2011 campaign aimed at informing the public that abandoning dogs is illegal, and that abandoned dogs usually die.
The slogan,"Chi abbandona un cane lo condanna," means roughly that one who abandons a dog is condemning that dog to death.
The campaign made use of billboards and TV and radio spots, with most of the publicity coming at peak times of holiday travel. As a computer-translated version of the web page explained:
"It was decided to carry out the campaign at this time in view of the fact that the problem of stray dogs is sharpened so evident during the summer, when they touch the peaks of dropouts due to the difficulty of managing the presence of the animal in a recreation area."
I'm sure it makes more sense in the original Italian.
What did come across clearly were the potential punishments for dog abandonment — a year in prison, or a fine of up to 10,000 Euros.
(Not a bad idea for this country to try, given recent instances like that doofus in Denver, or that revolting case in Parker County, Texas.)
If that is Ace helping make the Italian public more aware of the problem, I'm proud to have him serve in that capacity. If it's not, I can only assume it's another Rottweiler-Chow-Akita-pitbull mix).
With Ace being a mix of four breeds (according to DNA tests) it's not as common as it is with purebreds to come across nearly exact replicas of him. But I have seen a few doppelgangers.
One thing I found while researching "DOG, INC.," my book on commercial dog cloning, was that — rather than spending $100,000 to have your dog replicated in a laboratory in South Korea — you can generally find a lookalike in a shelter, if not in your hometown, probably not too far away.
I'm guessing Ace is not the poster boy in this case, and I'm assuming that Italy used an Italian dog for its public service announcement.
As for the Ace photo it reminds me of, it's on my other computer — the one that's not working right now — so I can't call it up and compare. And the post I may have used it in apparently tunneled its way out of the Internet (which is the only way of escaping).
If anyone in Italy knows about the dog in the photo — assuming an English to Italian computer-translation of this account makes any sense at all (and I bet it doesn't) — get in touch with me at email@example.com.

Crated pups left to nurse off dead mother
Those who think this website contains too much distressing dog news (which it does, because the world does) might want to skip this story.
"Beyond the human imagination," is how the sheriff of Parker County, Texas, described it.
But, obviously, it wasn't — at least not for the human who shot and killed a mother dog and then left her body in a crate with her nursing puppies.
Sheriff Larry Fowler said yesterday an arrest has been made in connection with the incident, which came to light when a school bus driver found the crated animals Wednesday morning in Springtown.
The mother dog had an apparent gunshot wound to the head and was found in in the crate with 10 puppies that were less than two weeks old, according to Fox News
"These puppies were left defenseless and still nursing on their deceased mother," the sheriff said.
He added, "Parker County does not have an animal problem. We have a people problem. It's hard to imagine that someone would be so cruel as to execute any animal. But to kill a dog with nursing babies and leave such a gory picture is beyond human imagination."
On its Facebook page, the Sheriff's Office reported the arrest over the weekend of Tammy Green Douglas.
Douglas, 44, was jailed early Sunday morning on charges of animal cruelty, but freed after posting $3,000 bond Sunday afternoon, according to a press release issued last night.
The dead dog was described as a four-year-old brown heeler-shepherd mix named Aowa. She'd been shot with a 9 mm handgun, while in the crate, the sheriff's office said, and the puppies were later placed inside with her.
Investigators were led to Douglas by a tipster who showed them a text message she allegedly sent: "I did what I did and I would do it again — if need be."
According to an affidavit filed in connection with the case, Douglas acted out of revenge because Aowa had killed another dog that got too close to the litter, KVUE reported.
The 10 puppies were taken to the Angels & Outlaws Second Chance Bully Ranch.
The organization reports on its Facebook page that the puppies have been placed with two surrogate pit bulls who will help nurse them until they can be put up for adoption.

Dachshund won't go back to owners after all
The old dachshund abandoned with a note at a Los Angeles County shelter, then saved from euthanasia by a rescue group, then offered back to the "poor, sick and elderly" owners who wrote the note, won't be reuniting with them after all.
Upon further reflection, Toby Wisneski, founder of Leave No Paws Behind, decided life with his original owners — two traveling ministers — might not be best for the 13-year-old dachshund, and apparently Otto's owners have said they're good with that decision.
The owners, initially anonymous, have now been identified as Chris Gonzales and his wife, Christine. That's Rev. Chris in the video above, seemingly speaking in tongues at times, and not appearing too sick, poor or elderly. (Public access to the video was removed after this post appeared.)
The video, and some other interesting information, was unearthed by Mary Cummins, an animal advocate and wildlife rehabilitator who writes a blog in Los Angeles.
Cummins reported Sunday that Wisneski had decided that, in the dog's best interest, "he will be remaining right here in our care and his humans agree."
Going back to the beginning of the curious story, the dachshund was found outside the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter March 6, tied to a basket, with a handwritten note that said:
"We are both seniors, sick with no money. We cannot pay for vet bills, or to put him to sleep. He has never been away from us in all those years, he cannot function without us, please put him to sleep."
Before euthanizing the dog, the shelter called a rescue group, Leave No Paws Behind, which agreed to take him in. They named him Harley, got him treatment for a skin condition and pronounced him healthy enough to be adopted.
Wisneski, the group's founder, also held out hope, at the time, that she might find the anonymous owners and return the dog to them, along with an offer to pay for all his medical care and food.
When the couple learned of the offer, and about donations coming in to help them, they came forward and agreed to reclaim their dog, whose real name is Otto, when they returned to town at the end of the month.
In an interview with KTLA, Chris Gonzales — though he wasn't identified by name — said he and his wife were out of town and planned to return to California and pick up the dog once they raised enough money to buy new tires for their car.
What seemed, up to then, a heartwarming story, was slowly getting squirrely — turning into the kind it's hard to keep the faith in.
Cummins, who had publicized the dog's story on her blog in an attempt to help reunite him with his owners, did some investigating, and came away less than impressed with the couple.
"They are not senior citizens. They are not disabled. They are merely obese. They are not poor. They are traveling ministers who give little talks then beg for money. They are not a legal church, corporation or non-profit. They make $60,000/year," she wrote.
"He's one of those faith healers that puts his hands on people and then everyone shakes like someone having a seizure," she added. "He likes to spit out mumbo jumbo made up words while doing so. He invites people to meetings at Sizzler or the Old Country Buffet restaurants. People pay for their food, listen to him talk then he asks for money. He calls it a 'love offering.'"
Cummins now feels, in case it's not obvious, that returning Otto to his owners would be a mistake.
While that means a detour before Otto finds his happy ending, we think that's the right choice, too — based on what we've heard about his owners and the fact that they abandoned him in the first place.
Despite all that faith they travel the country professing, the couple apparently didn't have too much in their dog.
Wisneski has said all of Otto's medical problems turned out to be minor and treatable, and that he's in good health now.
Here's hoping Otto finds the home he deserves.
And that the reverends find some tires.

"Harley" (and owners) get second chance
The elderly couple that abandoned their dog at a Los Angeles County shelter, asking that the sickly 13-year-old dachshund be put down because they couldn't afford his medical care, has been identified.
But only loosely.
Apparently they are down-on-their-luck traveling ministers, currently out of town, and they say that they'd gladly reclaim their dog — once they get enough money to buy new tires for their car and get back home to California.
The dachshund was left tied to a basket at the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter on March 6, along with a note asking he be put to sleep because his anonymous elderly owners could no longer afford to care for him.
Before euthanizing the dog as requested, the shelter called Leave No Paws Behind, a rescue organization. It took the dog in, named him Harley, and got him the veterinary care he needed — primarily treatment for mange.
The organization's founder and CEO, Toby Wisneski, sought to track down the owners to reunite them with the dog, and she offered to pay for Harley's medical care and dog food for the rest of his life.
This week she made contact with the couple and learned Harley's real name — Otto Wolfgang Maximus. A reunion is tentatively scheduled after the couple returns to California around March 28.
"We thought he was dead, but he lives," the dog's owner told a KTLA reporter. "He's being well taken care of and, boy, we're just so extremely grateful."
"We just are living week to week," one of the owners said in the phone interview. "We can't even go to the hospital to get our treatment."
The dog was left at the shelter with a hand-written note that said he had recently gotten sick, was vomiting and had bloody stools.
"We are both seniors, sick with no money," the note said. "We cannot pay for vet bills, or to put him to sleep. He has never been away from us in all those years, he cannot function without us, please put him to sleep."

I have a grey mavic rim from the 90s. brake marks are pretty bad and have a wavey pattern. I wonder if sanding the grey
coating on it down to bare metal is okay.
I have a grey mavic rim from the 90s. brake marks are pretty bad and have a wavey pattern. I wonder if sanding the grey
coating on it down to bare metal is okay.
Not sure what you mean by brake pad marks.
If you're referring to rubber residue left on the rim, this can be removed with scotch-brite pad (or green non-metal scouring pad generally), perhaps soften up with a rag + rubbing alcohol first.
If you're referring to how the brake pads have worn down the rim (friction does grind aluminum away over time), why would you want to grind more rim away?
Sandpaper is bad unless you have scratches perpendicular to the rim that need smoothing. No need to grind the aluminum thinner. If rims don't fail from eyelet cracking or crashes, they eventually fail when the brake-pad-contact surface gets too thin from pads wearing rim down over time. Scotch-brite pad works well to smooth and remove "foreign material" (no WMD's, sorry) stuck to the rim surface.
+1. I use alcohol and the pad method now. It removes the brake pad residue pretty good. I tried sanding the rim because that's what I did with my old arraya's but when I tried it with the new Mavics's, even with wet and dry 400, it left scrathes on the braking surface and as a result I get much more brake residue.
Blue Steed
Scotch pad and simple green takes it all off real easy.
I guess the OP's rim had grey anodizing, that was worn down halfway by the brake pads. I guess finishing their job with fine sandpaper is OK unless you go too far.
He's talking about the wave pattern of brake wear (or brake something) that you usually see on rims from extended braking. I'd just leave it.
Mes compaingnons cui j'amoie et cui j'aim,... Me di, chanson.
Yeah, I'd just leave it. The alternating color is due to the spokes pulling on the rim and deforming it slightly. The pads then wear out the high-spots first. If you sand the low spots to accelerate the wearing of the anodizing, you'll cause a greater difference between the high & low spots. Then the pads will end up wearing out the high-spots even faster.
If you're talking about black streaks left by melting brake-pads, then some solvent like acetone/nail-polish remover scrubbed with a Scotchbrite pad will work fine. Don't get any on the tyre.
Don't sand.Originally Posted by grinderbob
Scotchbrite pads and, in extreme cases, Softscrub, will make your rims shiny and new.
It looks like the grey anodizing has worn off in a "wave" pattern due to the rim being distorted by spoke tension. That's quite normal. Eventually it will all wear off. Sanding will just shorten the life of the rims.

Well, today lets discuss something else. Lets discuss something manly.
I don't know if you guys also have this issue or not. But I presume you might be, that is sometimes you think you're not man enough 'down there' you know what I mean.
Yes, I'm talking about your penis size. Have you ever want it to be larger? I for one would love to give my lover all the pleasure.. as much as I can.
So I consider buying a penis extender to increase my size. I stumble upon the internet day and night until I found something that is really reliable , since this is one of the most scam product on the internet I have to spend more time than I usually do.
Then what I found out is this:
1. Penis cream doesn't work…..never work period.
2. Penis pills also don't work. Don't use it.
3. Penis pumps work only if you are extremely consistent and know the pressure needed. That is low pressure but Long time, by lone I mean 20 minutes/session and rest and repeat.
4. What really work is penis extender. Let me tell you why.
If you had not know about jelqing know it now. Jelqing is a form of penis exercise, by grabbing your penis with your thumb and index finger around your penis base firmly then pull out slowly.. like milking. Don't pull it too hard you have only one penis in your life duh.
And how this can help you increase your penis size? Well the secret is behind the fact that our body heals when it get damaged.
Yes, you will damage you penis BUT ONLY a micro-tear level. Not damage it so much that it can't recover. By jelqing for 15-20 minutes/day after 3 months you will almost 100% guaranteed to increase your penis size.
However, I recommend using some product like Phallosan which will help you increase your size a lot faster. This product got FDA approval — YES FDA APPROVAL for penis enlargement device.
This product has a solid clinical study from Germany and 100% of the volunteers have increase their penis size in both length and girth. The results are extremely great. And I am sure this penis device is not scam since it is sold in pharmacy in Germany!!! I told my friend about this device and he literally found it in store.
Though the product price is quite high but if you're really seriously considering enlarging your penis you have to take a loot at it. It really rocks.

FREDERICTON - A young New Brunswick woman faces three charges in a fatal hit-and-run last August that killed a woman in a motorized wheelchair.
Darcie Victoria West, 20, of Chipman sobbed as the charges were laid in a Fredericton courtroom Wednesday.
West is charged with leaving the scene of an accident knowing that someone had been seriously injured. She's also charged with attempting to impede justice by destroying evidence and with intimidating witnesses.
Dianne Trottier, 33, died on Aug. 30, a day after being struck late at night while crossing a downtown intersection.
A CBC producer from Toronto, Trottier was working temporarily in Fredericton when the accident occurred. She had been in the city for less than a week to help launch a new suppertime news program.
Trottier, who was in a wheelchair her entire life, was active in sports, particularly wheelchair hockey.
Fredericton police Const. Ralph Currie said a 50-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman also face charges and are due in court March 31.
West is in custody pending a bail hearing Monday.
The arrests followed a lengthy investigation and pleas to the public for information.
Currie said that tips from the public played a role in the investigation.
"I believe they were a great asset," he said. "That valuable information led us to where we are today making these three arrests."
Shortly after the accident, police released a description of a dark, four-door General Motors car.
Currie said police believe that a dark-coloured Chevrolet Cobalt they seized on Feb. 4 was the vehicle involved.
Despite the arrests, he said they are still asking anyone with information on the accident to contact them.

Filmmaker Vipul Shah, currently busy promoting "Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty", says as a filmmaker he can't make a sex comedy or a horror film.
Shah is known for making films such as "Waqt - The Race Against Time", "Namastey London", "Singh Is Kinng", "Force" and "Commando".
"Many of them are making sex comedies, but I am not capable of making a sex comedy. I also feel I am not capable of making a horror film," Shah told IANS.
"India is a country with so many superstitions, so by making horror film, I don't want to add to that," he added.
Shah's "Holiday", directed by R. Murgodoss and featuring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles, focuses on terrorism and sleeper cells.
Shah said: "For me, a film has to be sensible. I don't believe in 'no brainers'. I am not against them, but I can't make them. For me, the film has to be entertaining, sensible and intelligent along with the commercial value."

A Camp Lejeune Marine is charged after deputies say his 22 month old son was mauled by a pit bull.
Brennan Listle of Horse Shoe Bend Road is charged with negligent child abuse involving serious bodily injury and contributing to a juvenile being abused and neglected.
Deputies say on Monday evening the 20-year-old Listle was in his front yard with some friends and allowed his young son to play alone in the backyard without any adult supervision. A nine month old German Shepherd and a 17 month old pit bull were in the back yard with the toddler. Deputies say the pit bull was secured on a 10 foot cable.
Deputies say the father checked on his son after about 10 minutes and found the child face down, unconscious with the pit bull mauling him. The child was airlifted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where he underwent two surgeries. The injuries included neck fractures to the cervical spine and the child will need skin grafting to fix external wounds.
Listle turned himself in on Friday and was jailed on a $250,000 bond. His first court appearance is scheduled for Monday morning.
