Flattery will get you everywhere!
I just noticed that a few of my pictures had been "favorited" in Flickr by a man I didn't know. It wouldn't strike me normally, as I don't know most of the people on Flickr.com, however these pictures seemed to be of a particular theme.
So, yeah. The guy had been favoriting a lot of men's pictures lately.
I just finished up a site I was working on for a friend. It was actually finished a while ago, but I've only just uploaded it to the server for public view. I think it is one of the better looking site designs I've had the honor to put together. I was given total artistic license to be creative and present her old site in a new, revitalized way. I chose some very drastic changes from her previous design, but the customer was pleased with them. My wife, of Celestial Studios, provided all the photography. The new photos really added a lot to the overall professionalism and aesthetics.
The one thing I didn't do was create a site that would work on every browser. Unfortunately, this one was designed to work on IE 7 and Firefox 2+. I doubt you'll get much love from previous versions of IE, though Firefox may not choke too much. At any rate, I don't know that I'm going to spend a lot of time on making it compatible with other browses at the risk of losing functionality. I do have some minor kinks to work out, but I don't think the average user will even notice them.
Have a look and let me know what you think – good or bad.
Threadless Submission
Threadless is a Web 2.0 application involving all the standard components of a social web system and a really attractive product offering to get things going. They sell T-shirts, but not just any T-shirts…your T-shirts! It works by users submitting T-shirt designs or slogans and other members rating those ideas. If you should win, and there are several winners every month, you get cash, Threadless.com money, and phat street cred. I've only purchased one shirt so far, but I've ranked many hundreds. I so enjoy what they're doing, it has inspired me to start submitting design ideas.
I submitted my first entry onto Threadless.com recently. It's a piece I've titled "Broccoli Obsession" after a unique attraction I've had since high school to the image of broccoli with Ranch dressing. This was my first shot at drawing the image the way I have. Normally I include candles placed around the floret with several monks praying to the idol. It's also normally more than a five color piece, so I had some difficulty with that constraint. Despite this, I think the image came off pretty nicely and I'm enjoying reading the criticism on Threadless.com of the design. Some like it, others have specific complaints. All very helpful in making it a better image with time. I should also mention that Amy recommended that I fix the Ranch dressing to make it look more like Ranch and less like glue, but I was done with the image and just wanted to get it submitted. The comments at Threadless.com will show that I should have taken the extra time and follow her recommendation.
I have a list of additional images I intend to create. It took me a good while to create this first one and it's not an image I had to think a lot about. However, I'm committed to getting designs submitted. The money is good, but the idea of creating a popular shirt design for others to enjoy is even more of a selling point to me. Amy and I both are working out ideas, though I'm doing all the drawing right now. I think we'll be able to collaborate on some photography/vector art stuff as I get better at it.
By the way, if anyone wants to buy me a 12Club membership until I should win one, you may do so here. And if you're just interested in browsing the Threadless.com website for shirts to buy, please use my StreetTeam link so that I get referral points for your purchases.
*UPDATE Gah! I didn't do well on my first submission. If, after 24 hours, you've accumulated at least 100 votes and averaged a score of 1.5 or less, you get dropped. I was thinking of ways to improve the design, but now I think I'll hang it up. Time to move on to the other designs and see if I fair any better.
Chewbacca 2007 Calendars for Sale
My wife's wookie calendars are on sale through eBay just in time for the holidays (and the new year). I played the wookie, so I can recommend them for their charismatic character. If you're a Star Wars fan (or a fan of 6′ 6″ red heads in wookie costumes), you should head over and buy a calendar. They're a really nice quality – nice enough for Peter Mayhew himself. We met him this past summer and he took one home.
Dragon*Con 2006: Day 1
Today marks the first day of DragonCon for Amy and I – it's 2:00am on Saturday, but it was at 7:00am Friday morning when we began. It took us all day Friday to take care of things at home and get to Atlanta where Amy's photography would be on exhibition in the DragonCon Art Show. She's been doing it for a number of years now, so it's no difficult task for her. However, there were some hold-ups at the show during registration that prevented us from actually leaving until much later. Amy had an intern as well, Riley, so it was that much easier to get the stuff in there.
Later that night we took Balthazar over to Amy's parent's house and left for DragonCon officially. We had already checked into our hotel, the Marriott Marquis of Atlanta, and planned on riding MARTA to and from the con as needed. It was late-ish already and I wasn't able to get back in time to help out with a drumming workshop, but I was just in time to grab drums and Jeff from the hotel and head down to the drum circle. Amy stayed back and finished up her dancing costume for the parade later this morning.
I realized then that I hadn't yet picked up my badge for DragonCon and Jeff left his in the hotel room. We tried to pass on our good looks, but failed that. Having one badge and the Marriott's room key between us, I proposed that we try our luck with those. So back to the hotel room, collect badge, face the guardians of the Hyatt and beg for entry. Jeff breezed right though with his badge and I feined struggle with my drum and showed them a bit of my Marriott key card. It was enough to convince them and they let me pass! So there we stayed until almost 2:00am and left to get some last-minute beauty sleep before then parade at 10:00am.
Mental Note: Get badge tomorrow…you pre-registered for crying out loud!
Celestial Studios Site Update
I just recently finished updating my wife's website for her photography/art business downtown. The new design is a far cry from the old, and now works in more than one browser :) It was ridiculous actually that it took me as long as it did to get around to re-designing it, but she really liked the old design and didn't want to let go of it easily.
So my efforts haven't gone to waste, check it out: http://www.celestialphotography.com/
"Best Photographer"
Amy (aka "Fox") Gradin was voted "Best Photographer" this year at Dragon*Con. This is a most excellent reward for her hard work. We're seeing more photography at the show now – more than in years past. She had some fear that her stuff was loosing its niche, but I think this award should give her peace. The Chewbacca series has been a very successful one, with purchases (nearly all of them) both inside Dragon*Con and out. I should take this moment to give special thanks to Jeff McClure for the use if his costume. Thanks you, also, for being convenient and up on the whole business of entertainment. Without you, there would not have been the same inspiration for this work. Werrk guur mooh…Gahgahgahgahgah (from the mouth of Chewie)!
DragonCon 2005 (!!!)
Tomorrow (technically, later today) marks our first day attending DragonCon this year. We're real excited about it. We were very close to getting a hotel room this time, but fell short of the timing. Amy put some really funny Chewbacca pictures into the art show this year. We're hoping for a real success with those. It would be our first major win if she does well with it. She also made some very nice brochures to promote her photography business to the Sci-Fi addicts. I'll keep updates coming as I can; pictures and stories.
What are your Convictions?
Spirituality and religion are distinctly separate tracts within mankind's existence. Spirituality is what is. It is what you sense and what you feel. It's also what you feel through others. Empathy, if you will. The acknowledgment of an infrastructure, to put it in technological terms, if we are the applications. What this infrastructure is actually made of is probably best described as faith. Everyone has it, whether it's faith in nothing or faith in a supreme being. To be without spirituality is to be without faith. Flying solo in life, so to speak. Religion, on the other hand, is something the faithless can have. Man developed religion long ago to help explain spirituality. With a lack of scientific sophistication, religion also explained the world around us. When the spirit is explained, it can become a religion. Maybe I should say that when explained, it's spiritual, but when taught, it's religion. Fine lines, but I'm sure the intelligent reader can discern the difference.
Friday night, outside of Celestial Studios, I was approached by a man – Neil, I think – with a conversation starter. Not being naïve to this sort of thing, I had a good idea that the guy was selling something. As one would expect in this part of the country, what he was selling was religion. I don't look particularly lost, so this guy (and his companion that never spoke) was just taking a chance on me. He explained this later in our conversation. The conversation starter was a card with an intelligence test on the front (i.e. trick question). I don't like being confronted with trick questions because I know they're designed to create failures. That's a hit at anyone's pride and I take little interest in trying to outsmart them. At any rate, the conversation moved smoothly into the realm of spirituality. He asked me questions that pinpointed me as a sinner – pinpointed everyone in existence as a sinner, himself included. At this point, we began to talk about morals and ethics. I believe it was also at this point that the conversation turned into something more challenging than Neil first intended. I chose to describe to him my philosophy on morals and ethics. That is, their being something developed by society. Morals are fickle, like man. Murder was a favorite for Neil, because it's an easy extreme. I pointed out, however, that murder can be justified by a society, but not a victim. That is, everything living has a will to survive. Any attempt to challenge that will, whether in theory or action, can initiate a defensive response. Not a good moral to argue. Despite my best efforts, the conversation continued to circle back to murder. We also worked through the metaphors to Judgment Day and Christ's history. What was interesting about Neil's schtik was that he was only talking about spirituality, not religion. In fact, he acknowledged that religion is man-made and error-prone. He also explained that the importance to all of this was not in the specifics, but simply a trust and faith in Truth. These are all very good things that I stand behind today. I'm thinking to myself, "why are we having this conversation? We're on the same side!" It's at the end of the conversation that Neil tells me to assume for a moment that the Ten Commandments (the major topic of conversation throughout) are the rules and Judgment is based upon a black and white adherence to them. I abide and must generally remain silent for the finale. Because I'm making the assumption requested, any questions asked are designed to ensure my guilt. By the end of the conversation, it's made clear that I'll burn in everlasting Hell unless I can change my mind in matters of what is now religion. I was able to hang with him up until he transitioned from spirituality to religion. I lost the game at that point.
I must say, I really like Neil and the way in which he witnessed to me. Of all the people who have, his arguments were the best. Of course, in the end we were still talking about religion. I'm interested in religion, but more from an analytical approach. Kind of like the way we've all studied ancient Greek mythology. I'm not a religious person yet. Perhaps I will be one day, but it's hard to find a group's practice of spirituality to match my own. I imagine it's the same story with many people – they just settle for a close match. That, or they simply adapt their spirituality to match the religion; not true spirituality. That reminds me, Neil said that if someone had to explain the Bible to you, you're probably in a cult. That's pretty extreme, but I can see the truth in it. I took that to mean that the explanation from another encompassed their perception, when it should be yours alone. It seems logical then that I can deduce if someone has to explain a spirituality (e.g. religion) to me, it's also cult. Heavy-handed, but it's no different an assumption than the crude, black and white judgment foretold by a religious zealot.
By the way, on the back of the card I received from Neil was a website: www.raycomfort.com. It's an evangelism site. I haven't read through it beyond the first page, but I see mention of avoiding false conversions; a "tragedy." I like that message. That is a great tragedy in my mind as well, and it goes for any religion or spiritual belief. It's like lifting weights. If you're not really into it, why are you doing it? It's not like you're fooling anybody – you're just cheating yourself. What are your convictions?

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 8 October 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18461008-TC-JAC-01; CL 21:71-74.
Chelsea, 8 octr, 1846—
My dear Brother,
Tonight there has just come a mysterious little Note, addressed to yourself in your own hand, apparently from Oxford Street, and so far as one can guess by the feel, containing a small key: what to do with it, except announce that it is here and will be kept safe, one does not know! Tell us if you want it, or rather what you want with it at Scotsbrig or here, and we will instantly endeavour to obey.
Jane had a Letter from you this morning. No news have yet come as to the Edinr serving-maid whether we are to have her or not; but a few days will decide that; and directly thereafter the question of Jenny Park will come on, and hasten to settlement.1 Your inamorato seems rather in a pickle, and one cannot augur much victory for him as matters look!2
You did altogether right about the Chapmans and Dante; I hope you will get some good deliverance soon: at lowest you may expect to have done with the matter speedily, in one way or other; and that of itself will be something for you.3— I have just been reading Hunt's Labour on that same matter (Italian Poets, which the Bookseller's sent me a while ago):4 his Translation, where he restricts himself to that, seems wonderfully felicitous, and much in the style I should like for you; but his commentary is little other than a shriek at once lamentable and ridiculous. I certainly do not think that this precludes a farther work on Dante for the English!— You will have a great deal of trouble if the business go on; but I have no doubt you will strenuously front it, and doing your very best produce something good. Brevity and clearness: these are the two poles of the enterprize; the cardinal qualities both of version and commentary. Let us hope the Booksellers will answer you soon, and wisely. They are punctual fellows; and will endeavour to do it.
I am still very idle; doing nothing but read, read. I do not yet begin to grudge that nothing comes upon the paper; paper is not always a symptom that one is making progress. I feel my head and heart, and whole life at present, too abstruse for anything but silence. Dull Books, or even by chance not-so-dull: these are my best company for a time. What writing I am to do next, or whether ever any other writing, is very much a secret to me hitherto!—
The Town is getting fuller again; but we see almost nobody still,—at least nobody to speak of. Yesternight there came a bevy of Americans from Emerson; one Margaret Fuller the chief figure of them: a strange lilting lean old-maid, not nearly such a bore as I expected: we are to see them again.5— Miss Martineau was here, and is gone,—to Norwich, after which to Egypt. Broken into utter wearisomeness: a mind reduced to these three elements, Imbecillity, Dogmatism and unlimited Hope. I never in my life was more heartily bored with any creature.— Anthony Sterling has been taking himself a Farm; country-quarters for himself and John's children (permanent quarters for them, incidental for him): down in Surrey, not far from Leatherhead; by accounts a fine house and place. Old Sterling, poor man, is getting worse and worse.
We have made continued experiments on Indian Meal; have settled upon it, and today bought two stones,—tho' at an extravagant rate, of 2d a-pound! Jane cooks it thus: makes it first into porridge like oatmeal, then boils it in a bag for four or five hours: this makes a really eatable article; and the more boiling it gets, it seems the better.— We also got a small loaf of bread from Indian meal today: very yellow and strange, but not unpleasant to eat, tho' much inferior to good wheaten bread. The nutritive virtue of this grain, I hear, is about equal to that of oats weight for weight,—rather inferior if anything; and stands to that of wheat as 10 to 15. It is therefore out of all proportion dear at its present London price; but we understand it will fall to about one penny a-pound by and by.— Being on Statistics I may mention another thing to you,—as to "Railway Shares" on which we were speaking once. The railway Paper (scrip, or whatever they call it) now in the market over all England is less in value than the same Paper this time twelve month, by a sum of 60 millions,—says the Times! There are 8 millions of loss in the City of Exeter alone!6 Foul may care.—
I wrote a Letter to Alick by the last Steamer; told him my last news of you all.— My dear Mother, you must keep out of cold and winter wet;—do, you cannot stand that now! I am very much relieved to hear that she is out of that attack; but her readiness to catch such injury is a sad thing. I wish with all my heart there were some way of taking better care of her! Our good old Mother, surely it well behoves us all to return the care she faithfully bestowed on us, so far as we can!—
Jane joins with me in affectionate regards to her, to Jamie and Isabella, and you all. We too have rain enough here, and winter clearly announcing that it is under way. Good night.
Ever affectionately /
T. Carlyle

LG Nitro HD announced by AT&T – its first HD Android phone
AT&T has finally announced the launch date of the LG Nitro HD – which is a rebranded LG Optimus LTE (already available in South Korea and Canada).
The Nitro is AT&T's first handset to come with a Tue HD display (4.5 inches, 1280 x 720 pixels). Its other features include: Android 2.3 Gingerbread (upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich), LTE and HSPA+ connectivity, Wi-Fi Direct, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of on-board memory, and a 16GB MicroSD card pre-installed.
AT&T will sell the LG Nitro HD starting December 4 for $249.99 (new 2-yr contract agreement required).
Since Verizon has already launched the HTC Rezound, and the Samsung Nexus Prime will likely not arrive before December 4, AT&T's LG Nitro HD is about to become the second HD smartphone in the US.
Now that the Nitro has been announced, it means LG's event scheduled for December 1 is about another new product. We can't wait to see what it is.

About Divas Snow Gear
Divas SnowGear was conceived in 2010 by Wendy Gavinski after many years of personal frustration with the limited selection of women's outerwear for snowmobiling. There were a few large companies making decent women's snowmobile gear and apparel, but not much that had a feminine fit or a designer look. The goal was set and completed later that year. Divas SnowGear burst onto the snowmobile scene in September 2010 with a casual line and immediately connected with female snowmobilers. The reaction was overwhelming and we knew others saw the vision as well!
Next up for Divas was outerwear to fulfill the buzz growing around the casual line. By the 2011 season, the outerwear was ready to go and it was like nothing else anyone had ever seen. Complete with rhinestone accents, a feminine fit, quality materials, and a vibrant color scheme, the outerwear made an on-the-spot impact. Behind the scenes, Divas staff was hard at work aligning themselves with key dealerships and online retailers. Simultaneously, we rapidly gained fans thanks to a grueling snowmobile show schedule coupled with a marketing plan you would be more apt to see from an innovative tech company, rather than a niche women's apparel business.
The travel, hard work, and marketing paid off in a big way! For the 2012 season, Divas SnowGear secured distribution with Yamaha Motor Corporation USA and Western Power Sports, two of the most credible distributors in the powersports market with extensive and dedicated dealer networks! This helped us focus on building a great product lineup which can be found in this catalog today. Divas SnowGear now has a truly unique line of women's snowmobile gear and clothing designed by women who demand to get the look and function they want, but at an affordable price!

Stereoboard are reporting that Linkin Park are set to release their new single CASTLE OF GLASS on November 12th, with proceeds going to the Help for Heroes campaign which they helped promote in the recently released CASTLE OF GLASS music video in partnership with EA and Danger Close's Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Read more about the charity and Linkin Park's involvement through the Stereoboard excerpt below.
Bryn Parry, Co-Founder and CEO of Help for Heroes had this to say about Linkin Park's involvement in helping raise awareness and funds for the charity:The members of Linkin Park hold a shared respect for the work and sacrifices made by those who serve in the Armed Forces, and by supporting Help for Heroes, they hope to support servicemen, women, and veterans by raising funds for the charity as well as raising awareness about the support the wounded need for life.
Help for Heroes provides direct, practical support to wounded, injured and sick Service personnel, veterans, and their families. This is provided through grants to individuals and other service charities, capital build projects and support for life at four Recovery Centres across the UK.
Promo CD's have been emerging of CASTLE OF GLASS for the past couple weeks and you can view images of the artwork courtesy of Maik Gianino at the Wretches & Kings fan page on Facebook. The cover art for CASTLE OF GLASS looks to be the same as the image embedded within certain frames of the music video upon release, which you can view above.Linkin Park is clearly passionate about the Armed Forces and understand the issues they face. By donating proceeds from 'Castle of Glass' to Help for Heroes they will make a real difference.

Hidden truth behind smoothies: How to make sure yours is healthy
They're fruity and full of calcium, and they seem so virtuous. No wonder smoothies are popular for breakfast, snack or even as meal replacements.
But don't be lulled into thinking these tasty combos of fruit and milk necessarily deliver the best nutrition for your calorie budget.
Adding it up
"A smoothie may have what feel like healthy ingredients, but that doesn't make the calories disappear," says Dr. David Patchett , a family medicine physician at the Banner Health Center in Gilbert, Ariz.
If you don't watch portion size or ingredient add-ins, your smoothie can end up looking like a calorie-laden milk shake.
Plus, there could be more drawbacks.
When you sip a smoothie made with fruit flavoring and not real fruit - which is the formula for some commercially made drinks - you're missing out on essential vitamins. These flavorings are high in sugar and lack the dietary fiber your body needs. And even though you feel full right away, you could have a mid-day crash because you're not eating solid food.
Nutrition tips
You can still indulge in smoothies, says Dr. Patchett, as long as you remember that you may need to cut back on calories elsewhere to compensate.
Here's what you should know to be a savvy smoothie consumer, whether you're ordering out or making your own drink.
- Look for a nutritionally balanced smoothie with non-fat or low-fat milk and whole fruit for fiber.
- If you're buying a smoothie, ask whether the vendor uses real fruit or fruit flavorings. Stick with fruit and avoid fruit juice or artificial fruit concentrate. Fruit juice without fiber will cause a spike in your blood sugar, so if you're a diabetic, you need to be especially aware of that. Low-fiber foods can also mean you'll be hungry again soon, warns Dr. Patchett.
- Frozen fruit is fine, and in fact makes smoothies frothier and thicker. But use plain, no-sugar-added frozen fruit to save calories.
- Opt for fat-free dairy products to get calcium, vitamin D and protein without the fat.
- Decide whether you really need the add-ons that some commercial shops put into their smoothies. For example, you might be offered a concoction with caffeine, protein powder or an anti-oxidant cocktail.
Dr. Patchett cautions against drinking smoothies with added caffeine and also questions whether you need antioxidants in your drink. Having a fortified drink in addition to, for instance, eating fortified breakfast cereal, and/or taking a multivitamin, could result in nutrient overload, adds Dr. Patchett.
Do watch your serving sizes. "The jumbo size may just be 60 cents more, but it's not worth it for your waistline," says Dr. Patchett. Stick to the smaller, 8-ounce portion, recommends Dr. Patchett.
Kids and smoothies
If your children balk at eating fresh fruit, smoothies seem like a great alternative, with their sweet flavor and silken consistency. But Dr. Patchett is concerned that smoothies could replace fruit in children's diets.
"Typically a smoothie is a more concentrated flavor and tastes sweeter, but eating a whole fruit is generally better because it has more fiber per serving and less concentrated sugar," says Dr. Patchett.
What's in your smoothie?
Here are some of the hidden diet busters in popular smoothie formulations (approximate calories).
|Frozen yogurt
|221 calories per cup
|High-fructose corn syrup
|53 calories per tablespoon
|64 calories per tablespoon
|Strawberries (frozen, whole, sweetened, thawed)
|255 calories per cup
|48 calories per tablespoon
|Whole milk
|149 calories per cup
(non-fat milk is 91 calories per cup)
This smoothie recipe is a luscious way to get more dairy and fruit into your diet. Women, for instance, should eat 1-1/2 to two cups of fruit a day. This drink provides half or more servings of fruit.
Strawberry Smoothie
3/4 cup nonfat milk, well chilled
1/4 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup ripe whole strawberries, about 8 large (see note)
Combine milk, yogurt, cinnamon and strawberries in blender container. Puree. Serve immediately.
Makes 1 serving.
Per serving: 120 calories / 0.43 grams total fat (from the strawberries) / 10 grams protein / 29 grams carbohydrates / 7.5 milligrams cholesterol / 77 milligrams sodium / 3 grams dietary fiber
Note: For a thicker smoothie, slice and freeze strawberries for 1 hour before making the drink. Substitute frozen, sliced, unsweetened strawberries if desired.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. David Patchett at the Banner Health Center in Gilbert, Ariz, please call (480) 649-6600 or find a Banner physician near you.

When fostering or adopting a rescue pet, we must set some realistic expectations for ourselves. It must be remembered that this pet has had a rough life. Maybe their whole life has been bad due to uncaring owners or maybe they just hit a rough patch lately and recently were abandoned or surrendered. Whatever the case, this pet will have some issues. Their hearts could be broken and their souls could be lost. They may be able to be turned around in little time, but more likely they will need more patience and time to master their new responsibilities than you thought.
When people set their expectations too high, they are usually disappointed. It does not matter if those expectations have to do with their jobs, their spouses, their children or even themselves, life does not always match our expectations. It will be the same with most rescue pets. There are many reasons for this and the most common one seems to be that something was missing from their life.
It may have been caring, loving owners. It may have been training. It may have been abandonment issues that developed when owners didn't prepare their pets to be alone sometimes. If there was a lack of training, your new pet could be unfamiliar with the basics of living in a house. They might not be housebroken or not understand they shouldn't chew or maybe they don't understand certain boundaries you expect they would understand.
The housebreaking problem may be that no one ever left them inside to know the difference of where they should potty. Or maybe their old owners forgot to let them outside enough to avoid accidents.
Chewing is something all dogs do, but that natural instinct must be channeled to the right objects such as chew toys. It is similar to the cat that scratches everything because they have never learned to scratch on a post or a tree. It seems that natural instincts must be redirected rather than try to stop them.
Boundaries are different in different houses and with different families. So if your new dog was allowed to climb on furniture or crawl into bed, this is normal for them. In your house you may not allow your pets on your furniture. This is a futile exercise sometimes as they just want to be near you, but if these boundaries exist in your home, the dog will need to be trained to adjust to this new situation.
Living with neglectful owners, may have made these animals lack trust in humans. They may gobble food since they never got fed enough in the past. It may take a while before they realize they will not go hungry at the new house. They may have gone without water on a regular basis and are scared they might be thirsty all the time.
They may try to bite out of fear of being hurt by someone. Their motto could be doing unto others before they do harm unto me. The fearful dog can be unsure of many situations, people, other pets or things and need time to adjust and fit in with their new family.
As new owners, you need to be patient. In order to save this dog's life you need to work a bit to help them learn the basics. When they do not conform to your idea of an obedient dog, you must be willing to give them more time. Adding training will be helpful.
Try to always remember the situations some of these pets endured before they came to your house. It makes sense to not forget they have been damaged in some way and the only healing process that is useful is to give love and use lots of patience. Keep expectations low and work up slowly to what is needed to help your rescue pet to adjust to your unique household.

Dating Sites XO
Our StoryMany years ago the two of us set about about looking for our significant others in this giant ever intersecting social world with the belief that when God has a special plan for you, He makes things work together to bring it to pass. Searching for a soulmate wasn't always a pleasant task. Soulmate searching is truly a needle-in-the-haystack endeavor. Separated by the pacific ocean and 12 hours time difference, we both found ourselves signed up for the same online dating site.
Where We MetBack then there were only a few dating sites available over the Internet. Most dating sites were free and resembled classified ads back when online dating first began to emerge. Our introduction happened on a free Christian dating site called "Cross Daily" which has now changed hands and does not offer the matching service any longer.
The best things in life never come instantly. Patience, lot's of communication and hope played a role in finding the right person over the Internet. After Internet chats and talking over the phone for over a year we decided to meet each other in person to confirm if we were indeed soulmates. Even after this, it took around eight months more of waiting for fiancé visa for us to be joined in marriage in the US. But waiting turned out to be worth it. Now here we are; we've come so far. We've been happily married for almost seven years. Our marriage and union is one of the greatest strengths we have in life.
Our life journey is one of many reasons created this dating site. We want to help and encourage singles out there that there's nothing is impossible in life. Don't be desperate, online dating is one of the best ways on finding your mate. We believe that statistically your odds are better with the right online dating site than with other forms of introduction. At the same time we want to use DatingSitesXO.com as a remembrance that God used a dating site as His instrument for His will for us.
We would like to help those trying to find their significant other, soulmate, date or just a friend online. We're here for you and we are open to help you if you have a question related dating. Shoot us an email.
Our advice for all singles searching online for a soulmate is simple: "Never give up hope because someone is likely out there waiting for you."

How is a Borel measure on Euclidean space defined?
I mean the Borel measure on the Borel sigma algebra generated by usual toplogy on an Euclidean space, which coincides with the normal definition of volume of subsets in the Euclidean space.
For Lebesgue measure on an Euclidean space, it is defined in terms of the outer measure on the power set of the Euclidean space.
If the Borel measure can be defined independent of the Lebesgue measure, then the Lebesgue measure can be defined in terms of the Borel measure by completion of measure. Right?
Thanks and regards!

Red Raider Signee Named Second Team NJCAA All-American
Shanon Hays signed his sixth NJCAA All-American during his Texas Tech tenure in Jessica Marshburn.
June 10, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech softball signee Jessica Marshburn was recently named a second team NJCAA All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) after hitting over .400 and swiping 64 bases this past season at Navarro College.
One of the top base stealers in the country the past two seasons, Marshburn was honored on the second team All-America squad for the second-straight season as she hit .419 to go along with 12 doubles, 22 RBI, 50 runs scored.
Navarro led the country in stolen bases thanks in part to Marshburn, who ranked second nationally in the category. She swiped 89 bases as a freshman to lead the country and earn the Golden Shoe award.
Marshburn, a native of Van, Texas, was also named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region teams following both seasons as well. She earned first-team honors in 2013, a year after being named to the second team as a freshman.
Marshburn is the sixth junior college player to earn All-American honors and sign with Texas Tech under fourth-year head coach Shanon Hays, joining Logan Hall (2009), Kelsey Dennis (2009-10), Cydney Allen (2010), Adriana Perez (2010-11) and Shelby Johnson (2011-12).

Good to see the money some invested in the recent share offer stayed onshore and will go towards a good company!
Veritas Investments has agreed to buy the country's iconic Mad Butcher business in a $40 million cash and scrip deal, and will raise more funding from the public early next year.
The NZX-listed firm will pay $20 million in cash and $20 million in Veritas shares in a deal that will made Mad Butcher owner Michael Morton the biggest shareholder in the company.
Morton, who bought the retail butchery franchisor off founder Sir Peter Leitch in 2007, will remain chief executive of the Mad Butcher unit and join the Veritas board once the deal is completed.
Veritas, which listed on the NZX in 2011 after Salvus Strategic Investments was wound up, plans to raise more capital in March next year from institutional and retail investors, alongside a shareholder and director warrant programme.
The firm will also undertake a 30-for-1 share consolidation before the issue.
"Having looked at a number of businesses, the Mad Butcher is a stand out, and we are delighted to bring this company to the market through Veritas," chairman Mark Darrow says in a statement.
"It is a proven and iconic New Zealand business that has performed strongly over many years, but more importantly offers opportunities for growth."
The Mad Butcher franchisor business coordinates the national marketing and product procurement as well as providing support for the individual franchises around the country which collectively generate more than $150 million in annual sales.
The deal has secured debt financing commitments from ANZ, and includes an underwriting agreement from Craigs Investment Partners and sub-underwriting and other equity commitments from existing shareholders, including cornerstone investor Collins Asset Management.
Veritas shares last traded at 7 cents apiece, valuing the company at just over $4 million -- a 10th of the Mad Butcher's sale price.
The deal is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and a shareholder meeting is planned for March 2013.
Mr Morton said the transaction provides the ideal next-step for the business to grow.
"I am excited to remain hands-on in the busienss and to be part of the Veritas Board," he says.
The Mad Butcher Business
The Mad Butcher was established by Sir Peter Leitch in 1971.
It expanded across Auckland in the early 1980s. The first franchise was established in Whangarei in 1998.
A further 26 franchises have been added over the last decade, and there are now 36 stores in 12 cities.
Mr Morton has run the business for 10 years. Four years ago he bought it off Sir Peter, who will continue to be a brand ambassador.
Previously, Mr Morton was the operations manager of Eagle Boys pizza company before joining Restaurant Brands to become general manager of Pizza Hutt.
As franchisor, the Mad Butcher co-ordinates product procurement and marketing for the network.
The network of butcheries collectively generate annual revenue of more than $150 million.
Who's behind Veritas?
Veritas Investments founding directors Mark Darrow, Tim Cook and Simon Wallace formed the company from NZX-listed Salvus Strategic Investments in 2011 to seek acquisition investment opportunities.
In May this year, Veritas successfully closed a two for one rights issue raising about $700,000 of new capital from existing shareholders wian an 83% take up fo rights.
Current directors Messrs Darrow and Cook will be joined by two new independent directors Phil Newland and Stefan Preston.
Shane McKillen, who set up Eftpos technology and network provider Netco and jointly funded 42 Below vodka, will also join the board alongside Mr Morton.
Mr Wallace will shortly retire.

Good old reverse listing into a cashed up shell - no prospectus needed, no FMA approval.
What this kind of corporate activity suggests is that entrepreneurs are seeing the benefits of NZX listing, and the likely wealth creation accompanying such a listing over the next two years. Such optimism is welcome.
They will need a prospectus however (I assume) when the seek more cash, depending on how they decide to raise the funds.
BurgerFuel has a market cap of $80m with total system sales of only $38m.
However, without a prospectus, we wont know for a while what its key metrics are. Royalties and advertising on systems sales of $150m would be circa $10m-$15m plus the wholesale margin on the meat??
what a stupid comment to make - i would suggest its more a case of NZers seeing the MB reach many more of them with a great product and great price

Imagine a high-octane action film about a train with broken brakes going full-speed with a few cars worth of explosives on it. Now imagine that two men are the only hope for stopping this impending disaster. Now if, in your mind, this film contains explosions aplenty, a high adrenaline score, and Denzel Washington and Chris Pine racing against time, then you pretty much have a grasp of what 'Unstoppable' is about. And if this description excites you at all, chances are you're going to love the film as much as I did.
The actioner, directed by action maestro Tony Scott, is many things, including cliche. In fact, it sparks a huge resemblance to the last film he directed, called The Taking Of Pelham 123. That film was a thriller about a man (John Travolta) who hijacks a train, and the dispatcher, also played by Washington, who tries to stop him. The resemblances between the films are striking, but in all the ways Pelham 123 fails, Unstoppable succeeds with flying colours.
Unstoppable is a film that definitely won't be winning any awards, but for what it is, it sure delivers. It's loud, full of action sequences and climactic speeches. The film is one of the greatest action films in a long time, simply because it doesn't take itself too seriously. However, the top-notch stars just put the film at an above-par level. Washington, who has been disappointing since his Oscar-winning performance in Training Day, looks like he's having a lot of fun. Relative newcomer Chris Pine has a commanding screen presence that cannot be ignored, and the way the leads work off each other is admirable.
When you sit down to watch Unstoppable, you need to know that you're looking at a movie intended to be mindless fun for the masses. However, the pure entertainment level of the film is enough for me to put it as one of my favorites of the year. You cannot put a film like indie Oscar favourite The Kids Are All Right alongside Unstoppable and compare them, because they are neither for the same audience or reaching for the same things. Unstoppable is not an Oscar-bait film, but it sure as hell is a lot of fun, and in the end, that's all it needed to be.

Yosemite High School seniors recently completed their year-long senior projects, with 11 students awarded for outstanding projects during Tuesday's end of the year rally.
Seniors showcased their projects May 21 in a new format, a Senior Project Fair, where all projects were displayed on visual boards for judges and the public. The event included a light dinner catered by Dena Boortz and the culinary arts students.
"There were many parents and friends that also attended the event and it was so nice to see them there," said YHS teacher Rebecca Hardison, senior project chairperson and adviser this year. "Most judges and parents reported that they liked the new format much more because they could see what all of the students did for their projects."
All projects this year had to be community service based. In year's past, students were allowed to complete their community service hours unrelated to their project.
Projects honored
Each of the senior projects was reviewed by five different judges during the Senior Project Fair, with a total of 63 judges volunteering, Hardison said. Judges and parents were allowed to vote for their favorites in three categories: "Best Visual," "Most Professional Presentation" and "Best Senior Project.
Overall Grand Prize : Danielle Troup (who took a top place in all three categories) for hosting a volleyball game for breast cancer awareness at YHS when the team played Chowchilla.
Best Senior Project : First place, Delaney Mitchell for hosting a drunk driving awareness event. All tied for second place: Chase Arata (snowmobile rides for mentally handicapped), Daphne Norman and Cayla Brosi ("Guerilla Goodness" acts of random kindness), Robin Meister (introverts awareness small group) and Kaylynn Land (mission trip to San Francisco).
Best Visual : First place, Chandler Haas (making Yosemite High's end of the year video). Second place, Samantha Noonkester (adopted a needy family for Christmas from the Manna House).
Most Professional Presentation : First place, David Nobles (worship leader at Sierra Pines Church). Second place, Augie Kleist (coaching youth soccer).
Students worked on their projects in their English and history classes to complete the required elements of the Senior Project which included a proposal letter, research project, log of hours, professional résumé, reflection paper, and the visual project.
"YHS would like to thank all of those in the community who have helped encourage the seniors this year as they completed their projects through support or by serving as a mentor to a student," Hardison said.
She said special thanks go out to Oakhurst Sierra Sunrise Rotary, Sierra Telephone, Service Organization of the Sierras, Heidi Baker, the Senior Project Committee, Dena Boortz, Raley's, YHS Administration, and those in the community who donated materials for visuals for the Senior Project Fair.

I HAVE had a week filled with birthdays, pregnancies and random celebrations.
When I was younger, I would mark these happy occasions by getting drunk and disgracing myself.
However, as I have got older, I have found the night now seems to be built around food, with a meal as the cornerstone of the evening.
This has made me reflect on the difference between the way women and men treat the issue of eating out.
At the pub or restaurant, I will carefully scrutinise the menu for important things like what dish looks bigger or if any of my dining companions are ordering something that could turn out to be better than mine.
Nothing ruins a meal faster than seeing someone flaunt a superior choice in front of me.
On numerous occasions, I have spent the evening sulkily pushing a merely adequate lasagne around my plate while secretly coveting a friend's kick-ass burger.
You will hear men at the eatery negotiating the possibility of getting rice and chips with their curry and pushing for starters...then a little feminine voice will pipe up and ask for a jacket potato or a salad.
What kind of sick degenerate would waste a trip to the pub with a jacket potato?
This worrying pattern is replicated throughout a range of dining experiences.
The other day, I went for a pizza with a lady friend and when it become clear she wasn't going to sleep with me I stopped paying attention and started looking around the restaurant for something to occupy my mind.
A couple went to the salad bar and I was appalled to see the woman select a few leaves of lettuce and half a tomato and head back to her seat.
I have lettuce and tomatoes at home – the whole point of the salad bowl is to bask in the glory of delights that people don't normally have.
However, her companion was not falling for this trap, and was evidently mindful of the fact he was only allowed one visit, with an undersized plate.
His eyes narrowed; clearly his brain was calculating the maximum salad he could hope to land.
With a military air he circled the table.
He started building with a dollop of load-bearing potato salad, he strolled past the lettuce, tomato and the treacherous cucumber without a second glance and added a second storey of cold pasta.
Finally, he topped it off with rice, bacon bits and a bread roll before wedging tasty looking morsels in the side to support the bulk.
His hand darted out for a rogue beetroot but then thought better of it – something that has the ability to stain clothes and rolls should never be trusted.
When he returned to his seat his friend looked ashamed, no doubt sensing she had squandered her opportunity.
"It's eat all you can," he pointed out.
"No," she replied, tersely. "It's eat all you want."

The bronze or purple form of garden fennel (not to be confused with sweet or Florence fennel, an annual vegetable grown for its swollen bulbs) is a handsome and popular perennial, often planted on its own for impact or combined with bergamot in flower borders. With plenty of humus and water in dry weather, plants develop into magnificent clumps of airy feather foliage, crowned in late summer with large heads of tiny flowers. The seeds are as useful herbally as the leaves, and may be left to ripen as a crop.

Flash Review 1, 7-24: Ambiguous
"Mercy" is No Mercy at All
Meredith Monk and Ann Hamilton's useless beauty at ADF
By Byron Woods
Copyright 2001 Byron Woods
Becker: We were supposed to save
the world.
Interviewer: What happened?
Becker: Nothing happened. We just got into more interesting material.
-- Marshall Brickman, "Simon"
DURHAM -- "Mercy," Meredith Monk
and Ann Hamilton's new collaboration, may indeed be about the famous televised
killing last September of twelve-year-old Mohammed Jamal Aldura, a Palestinian
child shot by Israeli soldiers in Netzarim. It may also be about the larger limits
of human compassion and fellow-feeling in this, the age of the disconnect.
But then, a work as amorphous and
disappointingly vague as "Mercy" could just as easily be about nearly anything.
The advance press on this collaboration promised an examination of the degree
to which the quality of mercy has been not only strained but repeatedly breached
in an era of realpolitik. Such a work of courage and conscience would be useful
in our time. Judging by its premiere last week at the American Dance Festival,
"Mercy" clearly isn't it.
In reality, this multi-media performance
piece presented a collection of musical moments and images, carefully crafted
but fundamentally incoherent. The July 15 issue of the New York Times reported
that its co-creators differed to some degree on its focus. While Monk was said
to have favored a clear representation of present-day acts, Hamilton was concerned
that the work might lose an element of universality if the characters and situations
in "Mercy" were historically identifiable.
Apparently Hamilton won that argument:
The characters in this work are rarely identifiable as historical figures, archetypes
or almost anything else. As a result, "Mercy" remains universal in the worst possible
way: at this point it's impossible to tell what the work is about. Given the subject
matter on which it was based, "Mercy" ultimately seems disingenuous and evasive,
if not downright narcissistic.
The closest this work ever comes
to fulfilling the promise of its premise comes in sequences that foreground the
video technology with which the work is more than momentarily obsessed. A very
small video camera broadcasts real-time footage from a number of unlikely locations.
It's placed on the head of a pencil as it writes. Even more improbably, it's placed
in the mouths of singers, looking out at other performers -- when teeth and lips
aren't closed about it. It traces the contours of an illustration on a light table.
But the pencil traces the words far
too fast for an audience to read; the camera is placed too close to the illustrated
image to ever give more than momentary details. The performance plays on this,
as those on stage ask a series of questions about the image that the audience
cannot answer. Later, footage of a printed page lingers briefly on individual
words before jumping from place to place, reducing text to a blackened blur. We
have the technology to apprehend and broadcast staggering amounts of information,
but the ones who possess it don't always use it to give the full picture.
Similarly, the visual images evoked
by performers on stage give fragmentary data at best. Two women sit at a table.
A group of people suddenly appears at the side doors of Page Auditorium, and slowly
makes its way onstage. Their dress suggests a clutch of emigres, looking for sanctuary.
A man sings to a woman seated away from us. Twin weighted threads descend from
the ceiling. Minutes later, they're revealed to be stage-sized bubble-makers;
when the artists sing into them, the force of their breath creates giant iridescent
sinewaved forms that lift from the frame and then fall back onto it.
Yes, they're all lovely images, and
all carefully crafted. But the distance between these dots makes any connection
between them tenuous at best. And since the performers rarely move -- aside from
walking from one portion of the stage to another -- the connection between this
work and modern dance may just be the most hypothetical one of all.
In our modern-day Omelas,
Hamilton and Monk's response to injustice fails its subject matter by imposing
thick layers of aesthetically-crafted abstraction and opacity on top of it.
They needn't have bothered: the world
does this too much already. That's the problem. That trait, which this work unintentionally
mimics, is ironically one of the elements in our time that most arguably limits
the quality of mercy.
By all accounts, this collaboration
started with the noblest of intentions. But unfortunately for its co-creators,
its audience and the world, Hamilton and Monk ultimately got into more interesting

One of them, Thomas Swetnam of the University of Arizona in Tucson said "We'll be seeing more and longer droughts, and with more hot and dry years, we'll be seeing still more and larger fires." California's fire in 2008 wiped out 380,310 acres. In 2009, California is dealing with their 3rd year of serious drought.

College Hockey:Elliott Helps Badgers To Final Five With Sweep Of Pioneers
DENVER — In another closely-contested game, the Wisconsin Badgers rode an outstanding performance from Brian Elliott in goal to a 2-1 series-clinching victory over the Denver Pioneers, advancing to the Final Five in St. Paul.
"One of Brian's strengths is his ability to refocus. There's no secret that one of the reasons that we are here and one of the reasons we were successful this weekend is the play of Brian Elliott, and he'll tell you that it's the play of the people in front of him in terms of blocking out and taking away second and third shots. I don't know if he had to make a big save down the stretch, but he was solid and the guys made good plays in front of him," said Badgers coach Mike Eaves.
Saturday's first period was a virtual carbon copy of Friday's. Wisconsin used its size and speed to pin the Pioneers in their end and generate stronger offensive chances, though the Pioneers had the occasional good chance. Brian Gifford had a good opportunity early, breaking in on a two-on-one, but his shot hit Elliott's glove and went wide.
"One of our foundation battle cries throughout our tenure here has been great start," said Eaves. "Stats tell you that when you're the first to score a goal, often that leads to a victory. Getting a great start was important for this weekend for sure; it proved its worth again."
The Badgers again got the first tally, as the Pioneers had difficulty clearing players from in front of goalie Glenn Fisher. Jack Skille took a pass from Jeff Likens and skated deep into the offensive zone along the right side boards, letting fly with a high wrist shot from near the goal line that handcuffed Fisher. Fisher made the initial save with his left shoulder, but the rebound sat up in front. Ben Street had the first crack at it, but Keith Seabrook lifted his stick. No one picked up Andrew Joudrey coming down the slot however, and Joudrey banged in the rebound at 10:48.
Rattled by the goal, the Pioneers began to play sloppily in their zone, committing too many turnovers in an attempt to force plays that weren't there. Less than a minute after the goal, Davis Drewiske almost made it 2-0 when his shot from the slot deflected off the left post.
The power play continued to be a problem area for the Pioneers, who went 0-for-5 in Friday's game on the power play. At 14:14, Matthew Ford was called for hooking, and the Pioneers went on the power play. They set up well in the zone, but passed around the perimeter too often and were unable to get traffic in front of Elliott.
Trying to get the puck deeper in the zone, the Pioneers turned the puck over and it squirted into the neutral zone, leading to a two-on-one. Ross Carlson carried the puck in along the left side and held onto it long enough to force Chris Butler to fall on his stomach to try to block the pass, but Carlson lifted the pass over Butler to Andy Brandt coming down the right side slot, and Brandt tipped the pass into the open net at 15:27, giving the Badgers a two-goal lead heading into the locker room. The Badgers outshot the Pioneers 16-11 in the period.
For the first half of the second period, it seemed both teams were in a holding pattern. Neither team generated much offense. Fisher robbed Skille with a beautiful glove save when Skille rifled a slap shot towards the top right corner, but otherwise both teams had trouble setting up.
Around the 12-minute mark, the Pioneers finally woke up and put sustained pressure on the Badgers, forechecking very effectively. After Badger junior Josh Engel turned the puck over on an attempted clear near the left boards, Andrew Thomas fired a wrist shot that led to a wild scramble in front of the net and turned Elliott around. Rhett Rakshani picked the puck up in the left circle and, with Elliott still out of position, fired it home at 8:27.
Buoyed by the goal, the Pioneers finally began playing with the desperation they should have had all weekend. Tyler Ruegsegger and Brock Trotter were particularly effective. Elliott robbed Ruegsegger on a shot from the middle of the left circle, and Trotter deflected Seabrook's shot from the point just wide.
In the last minute of the period, the Pioneers got a power play and finally started to set up well and get traffic in front of Elliott, but they were unable to get the tying goal.
"I think both units were very good on the penalty kill," said Eaves. "In a small rink like this, if you work as a unit of four, and you take away time and space and you're not precise in how you move the puck, you're going to have issues, and I think both power plays had issues this weekend because the penalty kill was very effective at taking away time and space."
The third period was the most open of the series, featuring lots of back and forth play. Tom Gorowsky almost gave the Badgers back the two goal lead early when Fisher made an uncharacteristic defensive lapse, skating out of his net to the grab the puck and throw it behind the net, only to have it picked off and passed out front to Gorowsky, who had an open net to shoot at as Fisher frantically dived back towards the net. However, Gorowsky hit the right post with his shot.
Shortly after that, Ryan Dingle sprung Trotter on a breakaway with a perfect pass. Trotter tried to deke right and get the puck through the five hole, but Elliott kept the left pad down and made the save.
"There was pucks bouncing, open nets, a breakaway," said Eaves. "It was frantic at times for sure, and sometimes that's what you get at this time of year when so much is on the line."
Elliott was the story of the game. Every time the Pioneers got an opportunity, Elliott was in perfect position, making the big saves to preserve the win.
"Wisconsin played a smart, smart series," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "Brian Elliott was terrific tonight. We played hard, performed better, but Elliott was the difference. We had our leading scorer with the puck on his stick twice in scoring situations in the third period, and one time Elliott beat him and the other time he just missed the net."
"We're fighting for our tournament lives," said Eaves. "This is one step for us, so we were successful in this step we'll go into St. Paul and we need to take that next step to."
