At the Billabong Pro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the slogan seemed to be "that's a wrap." The tag line caught on and infiltrated Instagram alongside the smiles of several professional surfers as the contest came to a close. Overall, this contest served USA well. Unfortunately, the Brazilians had a sure-fire blowout. Medina looked deflated as he fell to South Africa's Travis Logie in a ride that can only be described as mind-blowing. Travis was deep in the tube, and it spit him out. Upsetting Medina (falling from number one to number four on the WCT) on his own turf with a miraculous wave was quite the statement for underdog, Logie. Travis Logie would later succumb to what can only be described as Kolohe Andino's best contest result to date. Another powerhouse Brazilian, Adriano de Souza, failed to get another score after Kelly Slater pocketed a perfect 10-point ride. Are you ready for the kicker? Slater made it out of this seemingly impossible, below-sea-level barrel!
During the men's semis and finals, the waves were tough but contestable. Surfers had to use every inch of the coastline at Barra Da Tijuca. The most interesting semi was an all-American standoff between legend, Kelly Slater, and prodigy, Kolohe Andino. Andino had already surpassed his personal best by making it to the semis. His strategy was to stick with where the waves had been breaking consistently. His approach emitted relaxation and confidence but was somehow bursting with energy. He really came into his own. Kolohe later relayed that he found his "rhythm." With less than four minutes and thirty seconds to go, Kolohe fired off an amazing air-reversal. He held up his hands in prayer position; some speculated in repartee that it was meant for Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer statue located in Rio). Kelly Slater answered back with a small barrel and a tail slide. Kolohe threw up another air. Both contestants waited in suspense for their scores to come in. They stood there awaiting the results. Andino vanquished Slater, splitting hairs by a meager margin. Showing American sportsmanship, they shook hands. Meanwhile, Bourez and Burrow were pretty evenly matched in the beginning, which always makes for an exciting semi. But, Bourez would powerfully grab the lead over Taj Burrow. It was Bourez against Andino in the finals. They made the most of the conditions. Michel Bourez of Tahiti took his second victory of the 2014 ASP WCT season, bumping him up to number four in the rankings.
For the women, Australia's Sally Fitzgibbons took the victory. In the finals, Hawaii's Carissa Moore fired off signature, polished moves as she and Sally Fitzgibbons recreated their healthy rivalry. Sally Fitzgibbons was able to hold onto the lead and captivate the crowd. As usual, they both exchanged pleasantries, leaving the fight in the water.
The highlight of Rio was the tenacity that lay within the American professional surfer. Kolohe Andino, Kelly Slater, Carissa Moore, and Lakey Peterson all made it to the semis. Kelly and Carissa are both currently in the number one spots. Lakey's third place finish earns her the number five spot. Andino, fresh to the ASP WCT, jumped to the number twelve mark.
Now that's a wrap, Rio!

Christmas Tree Recyclingback
Christmas trees, including flocked trees, may be recycled by using either the green-waste curbside program or the drop-off program. For the green waste curbside program, place four-foot sections of tree in your yard waste recycling container(s), or bundle tree sections together with twine (maximum 4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter) and place on curb.
The other option is to bring your tree to one of two locations to drop-off. The first location is the Glorietta Bay boat launch parking lot and the other location is the Cays Sports Park parking lot. Look for the large roll-off dumpsters. Trees may be placed whole into these containers. Please do not include any trash. Pick-up will occur this year between Dec. 28 - Jan. 16.

According to a March 5 report from ABC News, Miley Cyrus tried to makeout with Katy Perry during the Los Angeles stop of her "Bangerz" tour.
Perry, 29, says she was a bit surprised by Cyrus' advances, which is why she spontaneously rebuffed the kiss attempt.
Perry explained that she was just trying to give Cyrus a quick smooch hello, the kind of kiss that most people do as a greeting.
Cyrus apparently thought Perry was coming on to her, so she tried to get a bit frisky. Perry quickly backed away when she realized that Cyrus was trying to makeout with her.
Yeah, I went to her show, which was amazing. It is very colorful. ... She has this one part, where it's like a kiss cam. I just walked up to her to give her like a friendly, girly kiss, as us girls do. Then, she like tried to move her head and go deeper. I pulled away.
Perry said she backed away from Cyrus simply because she didn't know where her mouth had been.
"God knows where that tongue has been," Perry said of Cyrus. "We don't know, that tongue is so infamous."
Perry was likely referring to Cyrus' music video for "Wrecking Ball," where she famously is shown licking a sledgehammer.
Analysis: Cyrus is trying hard to get away from her innocent, Disney child star days. She does everything for shock value these days, and it works in helping her sell tickets and make headlines.
Cyrus is doing what is best for her career, so there was nothing wrong with her playing up the shock appeal with a kiss attempt at Perry.
However, Perry still tries to maintain a classy image, so there was nothing wrong with her backing away from it.

Welcome to my website!
I have been involved with motorsport since I was born, following my older brother Rob as he began his career in motorsports. As a result I grew up with a big interest in the sport that stayed with me as I got older, until I finally had my first experience in a kart at the age of 11. I was totally hooked from the moment I got behind the wheel, and I have had a burning passion for the sport ever since.
I am an extremely competitive person. I enjoy the challenges motorsport offers, and I relish the chance to compete at the front against the very best.
I count myself very lucky to have a career in the sport I love. I hope you enjoy an insight into my world of motorsport!

The United States Access Board, a federal agency that develops design criteria to accommodate people with disabilities, operates a Web site (www.access-board.gov/ada-aba) that provides detailed information on complying with ADA guidelines. Check it if you're unsure what complies with the law before starting any work. The board also provides free online training and referrals to consultants who specialize in disability-related design at the standard rates for professional services ($150 to $300/hour). Others charge a specific rate for each student attending a class, such as $500 to $750/student, with a minimum class size required. The final cost of custom-designed courses is negotiable.
Although it costs more up front, advance consulting can save money in the long run.
One Midwestern city found this out the hard way after signing a settlement agreement with a local disability-rights group.
After agreeing on a design to make all 1,000 curb ramps ADA-compliant, public works proceeded to build them over the next year. Three-quarters of the way through the project, the advocacy group notified the department that 70% were installed incorrectly.
When the department hired us to inspect and measure the ramps, we found more than 75% failed to meet guidelines. The city spent more than $1.5 million on replacement. In residential areas curb ramps average $1,700 to 2,000 each; at intersections with traffic lights and other signaling devices a curb ramp can exceed $4,000 — or $32,000/intersection.
Although the city's intentions were good, training beforehand and a conversation with an experienced consultant would have prevented the errors. Even working with the advocacy group early on would have prevented the incorrect curb ramps from proceeding as far as they did.

More birds! Also, pokemon.
I've still been playing quite a lot, and doing some more sketching, and most of the time I prefer to keep close to the shapes of the originals instead of just turning them into 'real' animals, but with these three I instantly saw a couple of connections and thought it'd be fun.
Japanese Robin, Japanese Waxwing, Mountain Goshawk? Nice! :0
Very lovely!
That looks so realistic
What kind of birds are those?
I made a comment above.
and it looks like they're made to look like a falcon, a cedar waxwing, and some sort of wren or tit
Talonflame, Fletchinder, and Flechling.
The details on them.is amazing
I like that the branch isn't detailed so all your attention goes to the birds
I like that the branch isn't detailed so all your attention goes to the birds
It looks so real...
love it!
Those branches look unfinished but honestly this is amazing and makes me love this line more
Beautiful! You really did justice to those vintage field guide sketches of yore.
Oh my, this is so goooood
All of these instantly bring to mind their respective Pokemon, so this is just perfect. Awesome work, really.
For whatever reason it's making me think "Kalos meets Norman Rockwell." XD

Lovely work!
My favourite. Went with it right from the start up to the Champion
Just lovely. :3
Great job!! I Love how the colors make the birds look so alive!
If you ever have the time and muse (don't know about that German figure of peech in English, but I hope you know what I mean ^^") would you draw a lovebird?

I love how you still kept them original but they still look real life. A++for you my friend, you are the best. I know that some other Pokemon are hard to draw them real.
holy doley, i love how this turned out!
One word: PERFECT
I recognize that waxwing. What are the others based off of? These are fantastic; it's not often I see pokemon realism portrayed in this way. I really love it.
Hope that in the next gen will be spiders again
Wow so cool!
Brave bird all the things! haha
Brave bird all the things! haha

Wow, this is magnificient! It looks so wonderful, and I absolutely love the realistic drawing style! Really great work!
very nice, the waxwing is particularly good.
Magnifique! I love the cardinal shape you gave to Fletchinder.
It look fantastic drawing you've made. Fletching is one of my favorite Pokémon team.

might not be dating Nick Jonas anymore, but that doesn't mean their paths don't cross once in a while. For her new "Fly on the Wall" video, the teen star hooked up with Philip Andelman, who also directed the ' "Lovebug" clip .
"I'm not sure if she did know I directed the ['Lovebug'] video and she didn't mention it on set," he told MTV News of the coincidence. But, the director said, she definitely had a very strong idea of what she wanted in the video. "I was told the song was a soft poke at the paparazzi that Miley is constantly surrounded by and that she was hoping for there to be some choreography in the video."
Cyrus told us the song is about the constant attention she gets, whether she goes to the mall with a new love interest or holds a "sweet 16" bash at Disneyland . " 'Fly on the Wall' is about the media," she said. "It's about how they think they know everything about me, when they don't. They want to be a fly on my wall and watch me 24/7."
The clip spoofs 's classic "Thriller" video, but Andelman said that instead of zombies, everyone turns into Miley's worst nightmare: prying photographers. "I didn't want to do something too serious, as I felt it would come off as her being whiny instead of playful," he said.
"The gist of the concept is that she and her boyfriend are on a date, leaving a movie, when suddenly, he gets overcome by some strange cough," he revealed. "Suddenly, he turns into a paparazzo and begins chasing Miley. Soon, she is backed into a corner with nowhere to turn and the paparazzi approaching, when suddenly, instead of attacking or photographing her, they break into choreography."
Miley said making the video and spoofing her life was a blast. "I definitely had some fun," she said. "I needed a serious massage afterward. It has a great dance number, and it's super-fun."
While "Fly on the Wall" is her favorite track on Breakout, Cyrus thought she needed to wait a bit before releasing the single. "It was originally going to be the first single. But instead, I thought '7 Things' was a better introduction to my entire album," she said. " 'Fly on the Wall' is very catchy and fun to dance to. It's one of my favorite songs on the album."
It's that kind of business sense that Andelman thinks will help keep Cyrus relevant for years to come, no matter what she sets her sights on next. "She was this incredible bouncing ball of energy," he said. "The second she's on set, you know it, because there is literally a whirlwind of giddiness that whooshes around her.
"She's got a really, really quick wit that keeps you on your toes," he added. "You can't pull a fast one on her, unfortunately, and she knows it!"
That youthful effervescence lends itself to Cyrus' ever-growing résumé, Andelman said. "Every day, it seems like she adds another project to her already-busy schedule," the director said. "I think what is so remarkable about her now is that she has a-million-and-one projects in a-million-and-one different directions. … It's really astounding. Heck, she might just become the nation's greatest potter next year — wouldn't surprise me at all!"
Unlike Brett Ratner, who directed Cyrus in her VMA-nominated "7 Things" video and compared her to Madonna, Andelman likens Cyrus to an unexpected celebrity.
"She is constantly cracking jokes, constantly jumping up and down," he said. "I could not imagine someone having more energy than her. She's like a mini, female Jim Carrey."

Social Security Benefits to See Biggest Increase in 26 Years
October 24th, 2008
Related Stories
- Social Security retirement age likely to rise
- Retirement Independence
- How Much Will You Get From Social Security?
- Group Calls For Social Security Reform
- Can Social Security Payments Be Garnished?
Story Tools
People who receive Social Security can expect their benefits to increase 5.8% next year. The Social Security Administration said the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is the largest since 1982. With the increase, the average monthly payment to retirees will rise to $1,153 from $1,090.
However, despite the increase, many seniors may still have a tough time making ends meet. The cost of Medicare Part B premiums, which are deducted from Social Security benefits, tends to rise faster than the COLA, so the net benefit won't keep pace with inflation, according to a brief written by Alicia Munnell and Dan Muldoon of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
Seniors are also dealing with higher costs for food, heat, and health care, among other things. Food and beverage prices have jumped an average of 5.9% over the past year. And the American Gas Association says people who heat their homes with natural gas could see their heating bills increase as much as 30% this winter compared with last year.
Rising medical costs are one of the key reasons many older people have a tough time keeping up with their bills. A Bureau of Labor Statistics experimental consumer price index (CPI-E), which measures the cost of goods and services people over 62 are more likely to rely upon, shows that medical costs rose 269% from December 1982 to December 2007, while inflation for other goods and services rose 115%.
So while the increase in benefits is a positive thing, it's hard to get excited about it when people are dealing with so many price increases at the same time their retirement funds are shrinking. For many older people, any increases in their Social Security benefits will quickly be eaten up by their ordinary, everyday expenses.

Test-Taking Procedures
Please abide by the following test-taking procedures:
- Students must show their Accommodation Letter to their professors at the beginning of each semester, or as early as possible. Students and their professors should determine how testing accommodations will be provided. Please note: Instructors do have the right to provide extended test-taking time in an environment other than the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE). In that case, the instructor must provide a setting that is as conducive to concentration as possible. If the instructor is not able to provide the student with an appropriate test-taking environment, the proper amount of time, or other approved accommodations, the student should decline to take the exam and discuss the situation with the Dean of Students Office.
- If the professor decides that exams should be taken at the CAE, the student must use the online appointment system, www.rich65.com/oxy, to schedule all exams. The Dean of Students Office strongly recommends that all testing appointments be scheduled at the beginning of the semester. In general, professors provide exam dates on their syllabus, which is generally distributed on the first day of class. If it is not possible to schedule testing appointments at the beginning of the semester, students are required to make testing appointments at least one week prior to the exam.
- Prior to the exam, students should ask their professor whether they need to come to the classroom to pick up the exam or whether the exam will be waiting for them at the CAE.
- If a professor is late in notifying students of an exam date, students remain eligible for their exam accommodations. Even if the CAE cannot proctor due to the professor's late notification, the CAE will ensure that students are provided with their exam accommodation. In all other circumstances, notice of less than one week to the CAE of the intention to take an exam with additional time may result in the requirement that students take the exam under the same conditions as others taking the course.
- Students must arrive to all testing appointments on time with all necessary supplies. Students are only allotted the time that they have scheduled. If late, the student will lose the time they have missed.
- Students must follow Occidental's Code of Student Conduct and the college policy on academic ethics at all times. If a student's conduct appears to be in violation of either policies, the CAE will follow the appropriate procedure outlined.
- Students are encouraged to meet with the Disability Services Team to discuss any concerns regarding test-taking accommodations at any time during the semester.

It is currently a 3 alarm fire and has consumed more than 500 acres. No structures have been damaged but parts of the fire are nearing wheat fields. There have been no injuries reported. Douglas County Deputies are helping control traffic on Hwy. 17. Motorists can expect one way traffic as a DOT pilot car leads cars through thick smoke. Officials are attempting to get state assistance to help combat the blaze.

Secrets of Success
Where Did It Go?
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
I did a blog last night, but it never showed up here. Wonder what's up with that? So I'll try to recapture that blog and add some for today.
I got my replacement phone yesterday. My old one went for a dip in the toilet in the race trailer. Yeah I know...sounds gross..but it wasn't too bad. The water was clean. The lid was up and with very limited space, I tried to squat down (no room to bend over!) to get something off the floor and hooked my phone (which was in my back pocket) on the rim. The phone popped right out and into the water. Not even a lot of water. But enough to screw up my phone. It came back to life but the touch screen was dead. So a couple of lessons learned...phone does NOT go in back pocket...toilet lid DOWN.
I have the new phone mostly setup..I think it's going to take a while to get it where the old one was. I have to do my personal ring tones for everyone yet. But I have my apps back, my contacts, etc. I have to send back the old one too. We'll get brand new phones (we hope the Galaxy S5) next spring.
I had a Dr appt yesterday morning. She was less then happy with me. My weight was up (all that eating of salty food at the track, no workouts at all last week). My BP was up a bit as was my cholesterol. So she gave me a RX for the BP. But said I could try getting it down with diet and exercise. I have the exercise part going on...now to whip the diet part into shape! I have to go back (with new blood tests) in 6 months. Good news though is I'm NOT diabetic and my thyroid levels are good!
Also good news from yesterday..I got a raise! The figure I was given was $2250 more a year. I was warned though that MAY change. But I'm hoping not! That will cover the bi-monthly payment on the 401K loan I took out to pay off my CC!
So...that was yesterday...today has been an "ugh" day. A coworker is out for some med problems and his project (at least the end of it) got dumped in MY lap. No biggie...except the very last think I have to do, they BROKE over the weekend while working on the poser at work. So the kit due date will have to be pushed out.
I was DOWN about two pounds this morning! Even after going off the rails last night. I got my workout in yesterday and today (60 mins on the treadmill) but Monday I was working on getting the replacement phone. I'm still trying to find the energy to pick up at least 3 workouts at home.
Side Note here: Fri the 8th we (everyone in my division) at work had a pizza and a movie party. I had ONE slice of pizza with water. The we went to see the new Thor movie. I loved it! Ladies...he takes his shirt OFF!
I did however get "trapped" in my seat at the theater. They have very cool reclining seats, as in all the way back, you could sleep in them! I reclined and then couldn't get out! A coworker had to help me! It was just too funny!
So that's it...for both today and yesterday! Have great Hump Day (or what's left of it).
I have to shop for some new jeans this weekend...this is how I shop!

We just got the new reclining seats in the Lowes theater here. We went to see Captain Phillips there Sunday. They were ok, I guess. But they were harder on my back than the regular seats. They didn't tell us they get "hungry" though! LOL Hey, I'm wondering if your body is so used to doing the same two exercises all the time that it no longer recognizes it as exercise. The trainer at the gym said you can't count your physical stuff that you do daily at work because your body gets accustomed to it. You're so consistent about getting your workout in, could it be it's good for you because it exercises your heart and all that, but you're so used to that particular exercise that it doesn't work to drop your weight any more? I'm just always amazed that you work your butt off and don't get anywhere with it. Hugs, Calen~

Canon FD 24mm F2 on Nex-7 couple samples
What a great lens! Here's a couple samples from dinner...very sharp wide open and from what I've read sharpest of the 24mm FD's and it looks it. Bokeh is great and I love how close the focus distance is - this is also a handy 35mm focal length equiv so until I get my RX1 this will be what I shoot on the street. If you haven't already (and I am really late to the Canon FD party!) then I highly suggest you pick up any of the FD lenses, they are relatively affordable and all over eBay and other sites. Will be shooting video with it all weekend will post some results later.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.- The No. 23/21 Alabama men's basketball team fell on the road to Kansas State, 71-58, Saturday night in a neutral site contest played at the Sprint Center. After the loss, the Crimson Tide moves to 8-3 on the season while the Wildcats improve to 7-1.
"I thought Kansas State came out tonight and did a great job attacking our pressure," UA head coach Anthony Grant said. "You look at the numbers, 63 percent from the field in the second half and they were able to turn us over 18 times in the game. They outrebounded us as well. Any time you play against a team of the caliber of Kansas State on the road, those numbers are tough to overcome."
The loss is the first of the season on a neutral court for Alabama (3-1) as K-State used a strong second half to pull away in a game that was played just under two hours away from their Manhattan campus. The Wildcats now own a 2-1 series advantage, claiming the last two meetings.
K-State shot 44 percent (23-for-52) from the field and only hit three three's but went to the free throw line 33 times, connecting on 22 (68 percent) attempts.
The Wildcats poured in 45 second half points on the strength 63 percent shooting in the period and was led offensively for the game by Jordan Henriquez's 17 points and eight rebounds.
"Kansas State was terrific in the second half and did a great job attacking in transition," Grant added. "They got in a flow and that was tough to break."
Alabama shot 44 percent (25-for-54) but could not dial in from long range, shooting just 14 percent (2-of-14) from beyond the arc. The Tide was led offensively by JaMychal Green and his game-high 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting. The senior added nine rebounds and two assists. Kansas City native Trevor Releford finished with 14 points and six assists, playing a game-high 37 minutes.
UA went into the locker room at the intermission just down two (24-26) and then seized the lead (35-34) five minutes into the second half but a 16-4 run by K-State right after sank the Tide.
38 of the 58 points scored by Alabama came in the paint. 19 of the 45 points scored by K-State in the second half came at the free throw line. The Wildcats tallied 14 points off of 18 Tide turnovers but UA did tally 15 points off of 16 KSU mishaps.
Alabama will continue neutral site play when it hosts Oklahoma State at the 2011 Legacy Credit Union Holiday Classic presented by Bright House. The two teams will meet on Wednesday, Dec. 21, with tipoff slated for 8 p.m., at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. The game will air on ESPN2.

Sean LeBeauf is in his first season as an assistant coach for Arizona women's basketball.
LeBeauf came to Arizona from Paris Junior College, where he served as the Director of Athletics and head coach of the women's basketball team.
"We are extremely excited to add Sean to our staff" Arizona Head Coach Niya Butts said. "He has a lot of coaching experience on all levels. He can do it all. He is a great basketball mind, he will be an asset on both sides of the ball and he will bring a lot of talent to the University of Arizona."
At Paris Junior College, Lebeauf led the Dragons to the single-season record for wins and a national ranking. He coached an NJCAA All-American nominee, four All-Region XIV selections, five honorable mention All-Conference selections and two Freshman of the Year nominees.
Before his four-year stint at PJC, LeBeauf served as an assistant men's basketball coach at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. from 2005 to 2009. While there, the men's basketball team won a Southwestern Athletic Conference championship and the 2006 Historical Black Colleges and Universities National Championship.
"I am truly grateful for this opportunity," LeBeauf said. "Opportunities such as this one do not come around often, especially one where the head coach shares your intensity. That was so evident when meeting Coach Butts. She is passionate about the game of basketball and this institution. It is not often that you see a Division I head coach carrying a backpack and a coaching packet on the recruiting trail, while moving from one court to the next. I am so looking forward to joining the Wildcat Family and helping build on an already incredible tradition."
Prior to Southern, LeBeauf coached at Destrehan High School (1998-88) and Archbishop Shaw High School (1999-2003). While at Archbishop Shaw, he helped lead the team to back-to-back state championship appearances. His squad won the state title while going 34-6 in 2000 and finished as 2001 runners-up with a 31-5 mark.
LeBeauf began his coaching career at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Okla., leading the girl's basketball team to a city championship. While there, he also coached the Tulsa Rebels Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) boy's team, leading them to a national AAU title in 1997 and a fourth-place finish in 1998.
LeBeauf's successes earned him the Sallie Mae Award, recognizing the Elementary/Secondary First Teacher of the Year.
Through his men's basketball coaching experience, LeBeauf has coached 23 players into the professional ranks.
LeBeauf's playing career started at Hahnville High School in Boutte, La. He went on to play basketball for the nationally-ranked team at University of Montevallo, Ala., where he earned his Bachelor's of business administration in accounting. He started on a team that finished with three consecutive 20-win seasons.

fluid intake
You should start to be aware of your fluid intake three to five days prior
to a race or long training session. Complete hydration takes three to five
days. Your main fluid source should be water but it's also OK to add in an
electrolyte drink as you come closer to your training day or race to keep
your sodium levels in check.

When reading the ingredient's list on a bag of dog food it is easy to become confused. Some ingredients are simple- meats, fruits and vegetables. Even some vitamins and minerals are familiar. But some items in that list baffle pet owners.
I often get questions about brewer's rice. What is it? Why is it in dog food? Where does it come from? There are common misconceptions about brewer's rice that should be cleared up. With the right information you can make the best decisions for your dog's diet.
Brewer's rice is small fragments of rice kernels that have been separated from the larger kernels of milled rice and can be found in some dog and cat foods. This type of rice was traditionally used for brewing alcohol and is where the name 'brewer's rice' originated from. The fragments of rice are not aesthetically pleasing. The perfect kernels go to human food and the broken kernels go to dog food. Rice is a grain. Grains are easy to obtain and inexpensive and are often used in pet food as a filler.
Brewer's rice- also known as broken rice- is an easily digested carbohydrate that contains fiber. Fiber is important in a dog's diet. Although fragments may contain fewer nutrients than a whole grain of rice it is not necessarily a bad ingredient. It is filler- a by-product created when milling human grade food. It does not contain a large amount of nutritional value nor is it harmful to cats and dogs unless they are allergic.
Brewer's rice is sold exclusively for dairy feed and pet food. This bulky fiber will fill your dog up without harming him. It is found in some super premium dog foods and almost all grocery grade dog foods.
The key to your dog's health in regards to brewer's rice is where it is located on the ingredient's list. Most super premium foods use ground rice which is richer in nutrients. It is not uncommon to see ground rice listed third or fourth on the ingredients list. Brewer's rice however should not come third or fourth. The more brewers' rice, the more carbohydrates and too many carbs can make your pet gain weight rapidly.
Selecting the right pet food with the right ingredients can be tricky and it changes from dog to dog. Every dog is different and that should be taken into account. But the low down on brewer's rice is that it is not harmful but also not overly helpful.

NEW: Senate Passes Budget
Obenshain Opposes Plan, Hanger Supportes It
HARRISONBURG — The Virginia Senate passed its budget today and will now wait for the House of Delegates to make the next move.
The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 22-15 in favor of a two-year, $96 billion plan that includes a form of Medicaid expansion, an idea the GOP-led House rejected in its version of the spending plan.
The two chambers will form a conference committee to hash out differences; the House meets at 4 p.m. today. Three senators were absent for today's vote, but their presence would not have affected the outcome. Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Harrisonburg, voted against the plan, while Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Mount Solon, supported it.
The Daily News-Record will have more on this story as details become available and will have a complete report in Wednesday's print and web editions.

text: Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley sat out practice today. The full injury report comes out later today but he'll likely be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Finley had a great game in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, catching five passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. His eight targets were second most behind receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson. Even though it's on the basis of one game, the Packers would likely miss his big athletic presence as a weapon.

With apache 2 the vhosts works fine if I update the hosts file. Is there a url that others can use to get to the vhost without having to update their hosts file?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 9 '11 at 7:57
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
If you don't want to setup a dns server as Gerry suggests you could simply use different ports instead of referring to them by name
You can register a domain that points to the IP of your server. Then in the vhost config you set that domain as an alias for the vhost.
Or if you already own a domain you can point one of it's subdomains at that server and again add it as an alias in the vhost config.
Oh and another option would be to set up your own DNS server and get them to use it, but that might be a little more work than you are wanting. In the long run it's a lot more flexible and easy to manage. But it can be quite a challenge the first time.
I use Modify Headers Firefox extension and just modify the

Is there a simple way of copying video files (taken with the camera, so they are .mov) from iPhone 5 right to desktop using the USB cable? I thought of adding them to Goodreader, but Goodreader compresses the files before adding them. Dropbox would maybe kind of work but I guess it uploads to the internet dropbox first which is an unnecessary and slow roundtrip, especially since WIFI on iPhone 5 is (still) broken.
Image Capture works with movies as well, so no need for iPhoto BUT this only works with videos that YOU shot on the device. If someone sends you a video and you save it to your albums, then Image Capture ignores it.
This isn't exactly a "simple" approach at first glance but really can be quite streamlined and reasonably easy. Honestly, there aren't (m)any good ways to sync videos between iOS and OSX - unlike images.
I personally use iPhoto for situations like you describe:
If you don't want to run iPhoto just for that, and you're happy looking at the files at a slightly lower level, then iFunBox is useful. It shows the Photo Album of the device as a digital camera (DCIM) directory so you can see all the files, then copy to/from your Mac.
There's a Windows version too, which has proved useful in the past.
I have Iphone5 and MacBook Pro. I easily transferred 12GB of videos to Mac. I used Iphoto only as a file transferring app. I didn't open any file in Iphoto. Here's what I did: Have a clear desktop on screen. Open finder and put to left hand side of screen so that it is visible when you open Iphoto. In finder create a new file for your videos. Open Iphoto. On left side of Iphoto click Photos. Plug iphone into usb. Images auto load into New Photos. Select video, photo or all. Click Import Selected. Wait. Delete off phone? Yes because videos use lots of storage. Select video, photo or multiples and drag to the finder file. Wait. Delete vids and phots from Iphoto. Open video and enjoy!
The new slickier Photos app from Apple is the way to go now. :)
Just connect your iPhone and click the Import tab.

Dissolving an Association
Posted 27 December 2012 - 05:06 AM
Posted 27 December 2012 - 08:04 AM
Posted 27 December 2012 - 08:41 AM
My community is a Lake Association and many of us are trying to gather information on what are the positives and negatives associated with dissolving the Association and having the Town take over the streets, draininage, etc..
The biggest issue is whether or not the town would be willing to take over those duties. If it isn't, then you are done before you start. Have you even asked the town yet, to see which way the wind is blowing?
By the way, if you think the idea will save the homeowners money, it probably won't. If the town does take over those duties, plan on replacing your association dues and assessments with an equivalent amount in local ltaxes.
We are also interested in obtaing legal services for this advice but we do not know what type of an Attorney would handle this issue.
Google homeowner association attorney for your city. You'll find plenty.
Warning: Legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here are simplified and might not fully explain the ramifications of your particular issue. I am not a lawyer. I do not give legal advice. I make comments based on my knowledge and experience. I guarantee nothing. If you act on my comments without the advice of an attorney, you do so at your own risk.

I have seen quite a few people running stop signs, drinking beer, smoking, speeding, and texting and being careless while driving. I get really scared when I see people doing stuff like that. I feel like someone or something is going to get hurt....

Andersen Coastal Windows
Living on the coast can be immensely gratifying. You get those views of the crashing waves, cool sea breezes from your deck and nicely exfoliated skin from the sand and salt. Of course, there are drawbacks, too, and one of them can be detrimental to life, limb and private property - natural disasters. All too often, tropical storms and hurricanes devastate coastal homes and windows are one of the first things to go.
Ironically, glass, which is made from sand, is the weakest structural point of the home and usually cracks first under the pressure of extreme wind and flying debris. Understanding this weakness has been a strength for Andersen Windows and Doors. The American window and door manufacturer, which has been in business for more than 100 years, strives to follow stringent, new building codes in coastal regions. They go above and beyond requirements to help keep properties and families safer.
StormWatch windows are fortified in both framework and glass to better sustain catastrophic storms common along the coast. Each StormWatch window comes with three basic glass options: high performance, which has superior energy efficiency qualities; monolithic impact resistant for protection against forced entry, sun damage and noise infiltration; and high-performance impact resistant, which combines the qualities of the other two types for a super-strength, energy efficient window. StormWatch windows are securely attached to the house and more resistant to exterior damage.
Fortified window frames offer the following features:
- Structural silicone glazing
- Extra fasteners to anchor hardware and hinges
- Galvanized metal jamb clips
- Perma-shield vinyl cladding (resistant to wear caused by sand and salt)
- Reinforcements to the frame, sash and panel to stave off the effects of high wind and impact
What's even better is that the StormWatch windows don't make your home look like a tank ready for combat. In fact, you won't see a difference at all in the windows' appearance. However, should a disastrous storm pass through your coastal community, you'll certainly see the difference in how your home survives it.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Seniors are a huge portion of our population in Marin County. Last month at the Marin County Senior Fair,thousands of seniors spent the day visiting hundreds of booths. The aisles were swarming with seniors hoping to learn something new. We hosted Rita Lakin, local author and playwright, at out booth.In her 80's she writes murder mysteries set in a retirement complex in Florida. Written with humor and honesty, she was the hit of our booth. Rita facilitates our senior bookclubs at various senior centers in Marin. The theme this year "Seize the Day", was my opportunity to go back to the 60's and remember the days of the protest. Funny, somethings never change.

On Tuesday, freelance journalist Charles C. Johnson posted a fear mongering radio advertisement on YouTube endorsing Senator Thad Cochran, which clearly targeted black Mississippians who did not vote in the Democrat primary in early June.
The female narrator warns that the Tea Party seeks to disenfranchise black voters, wants to cut "all" government programs, and implies that they aim to re-segregate Mississippi. How far is too far, when it comes to political advertisements? Where is the line between politics and slander?
The ad, transcribed here, starts with an unsubstantiated claim that the Tea Party is telling people that if they vote in the Republican primary, they cannot vote in the general election in November. The narrator says, "If someone tells you that by voting today, you cannot vote in November - it's just a Tea Party, bald-faced lie."
The woman then goes on to tell listeners that if they do not vote in the GOP primary, the Tea Party will "take away all...government programs." She warns, "Mississippi will never be the same."
The narrator laments,
"By not voting, you are saying 'take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities'…everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut."
Making a thinly veiled reference to segregation, the radio advertisement continues to warn that if Democrats do not "spend five dollars on gas to vote" in the Republican primary, "the Tea Party [will]...set us back to the good old bad days..." The short commercial encourages listeners to "Vote against the Tea Party, vote Thad Cochran." Finally, the narrator says, "Remember, if you didn't vote in the June third [Democrat] primary, you can vote today."
As reported at WDAM, a local news source in Mississippi, Jones County Assistant District Attorney J.Ronald Parrish stated that according to Mississippi statute, "If you're a member of one political party and you intend to support that candidate in that political party," he explained, "it is against the law for you to vote in the other political party's primary."
Is it illegal to encourage people to break the law through a radio advertisement?
A particularly offensive robocall, also posted by Johnson, again urges Democratic voters to vote for Thad Cochran and bashes the Tea Party for "their disrespectful treatment of the first African American president…" The robocall supporting an establishment Republican candidate continued,
"[I]f we do nothing, Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel wins and causes even more problems for President Obama."
Many on Twitter have denounced the divisive tactics used by the Cochran campaign, as reported at theBlaze. Even former Republican Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a supporter of Cochran, questioned the strategy. On MSNBC Tuesday, Barbour said, "If Senator Cochran is going to court Democrats to save his seat, it is a clear indication that he has abandoned conservatives in the state of Mississippi."
