Hi all!
I was just wondering if I could have some help from anyone who has ever had any experience with joint supplementation? (good or bad!)
I am an Equine Science degree student, currently studying at Hartpury College. As it is my final year I am required to carry out a dissertation. I have chosen to carry out a survey on the use of joint supplements on horses. My aim is to find out, which ones work, which ones don't, whether they are the expensive ones or the cheap ones. Then analyse the data and try to determine the common ingredients between the products that do work.
The website for my online survey is –
Everyone's experience counts!
Thank you! : )

I cannot access the link so I will say that I think many joint supplements are a waste of money for many reasons and the way to go is fresh herbal remedies! I know from a crippled horse to a sound horse and even the vet amazed at recent xrays!

Elena Bonner To Assess Human Rights in the Former Soviet Union at the Library of Congress
Elena Bonner, supporter of human rights and democracy and chairman of the Andrei Sakharov Foundation, will deliver a lecture assessing human rights in Russia and the other countries of the former Soviet Union.
The lecture will take place from 6 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 22, in the Mumford Room of the James Madison Memorial Building of the Library of Congress, 101 Independence Avenue S.E. It is free and open to the public.
Dr. Bonner is the widow of noted Russian physicist, 1975 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov, who died in December 1989. A longtime human rights activist herself, she was a founding member of the Moscow Helsinki Monitoring Group, whose goal was to track Soviet compliance with the human rights provisions in the 1975 Helsinki Final Act. In 1982 the group's activities were stopped by an extensive KGB crackdown that resulted in the arrest or exile abroad of most of its members. In 1984 she was sentenced to exile, but was allowed to remain in the closed city of Gorky, together with Sakharov, who had been banished to that city in 1980. After the couple's release in December 1986, Dr. Bonner became a key supporter of the Soviet Union's remaining political prisoners.
Since her husband's death, Dr. Bonner has continued the campaign for democracy and human rights in Russia. She joined the defenders of the Russian parliament during the August 1991 coup attempt, and supported President Yeltsin during the constitutional crisis of 1993.
She served on President Yeltsin's Commission on Human Rights from 1993 until December 29, 1994, when she resigned in protest of the war in Chechnya.
Dr. Bonner has also been instrumental in the establishment of several institutions to honor the memory of her husband and continue his legacy, particularly the Andrei Sakharov Foundation (Russia); the Andrei Sakharov Foundation (USA); the Sakharov Archives in Moscow, opened in 1994; the Sakharov Museum and Center in Moscow, opened in 1996; and the Andrei Sakharov Archives and Center at Brandeis University, Waltham, Mass., established in 1993.
Dr. Bonner is the author of Alone Together (Alfred Knopf, 1986) and Mothers and Daughters (Alfred Knopf, 1992).

Zoe's Kitchen (NYSE:ZOES) issued its first quarterly report as a public company last week. I first wrote about Zoe's Kitchen back in April after its IPO, when the stock surged more than 64% on its first day of trading. I was waiting for its first earnings report to tell whether the company would go the way of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) or Noodles & Company (NASDAQ:NDLS). Judging by the impressive quarterly numbers, it looks like we may have another Chipotle Mexican Grill on our hands and not a Noodles & Company.
Zoe's first-quarter numbers
Total revenue increased more than 47%, and same-store sales rose 5.7%. The same-store sales increase consisted of a 4.1% jump in traffic and a 1.6% increase in prices. Zoe's Kitchen opened 13 restaurants in the quarter and acquired two restaurants from franchisees. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization increased more than 42% to $3.8 million.
The one negative is that Zoe's reported a loss of $0.02 per share, which was worse than the loss reported in the prior-year period of $0.01 per share. The loss was primarily due to one-time charges from the IPO and interest payments on expired debt. The good news is that Zoe's Kitchen beat earnings expectations by $0.01. The consensus was for a loss of $0.03 per share.
The outlook is bright
Zoe's is also reinvesting in its business, and most of its growth is coming from new company-owned restaurants. Since Feb. 24, Zoe's Kitchen has opened a total of nine new restaurants, which brought its total restaurant count to 120. This is impressive, considering that Zoe's Kitchen had only 21 restaurants back in 2008.
For the full year, Zoe's Kitchen is forecasting restaurant sales of between $166 million and $170 million. This is quite a jump from the $116.4 million that Zoe's Kitchen posted last year. Same-store sales are expected to grow 4% to 6% this year. Zoe's Kitchen plans to expand its store base by opening a total of 28 to 30 new restaurants.
Zoe's Kitchen CEO Kevin Miles also plans on boosting Zoe's dinner and take-out business. Currently, this part of the day accounts for 40% of all sales, and his goal is to boost Zoe's dinner business to 50% of total sales.
Chipotle remains the gold standard
Chipotle's first-quarter numbers continued to show how strong Chipotle's business is. Impressive gains were seen across the board. Same-store sales rose more than 13% and revenue jumped 24% from the prior year. During the quarter, Chipotle opened 44 new restaurants and brought its total restaurant count to 1,637. For the full year, Chipotle plans to open a total of 180 to 195 new restaurants. Full-year same-store sales are expected to be in the high-single digits.
The strong numbers have benefited Chipotle's shareholders. Shares are up more than 55% in the past year. With more than $706 million in cash and no debt, Chipotle will have no trouble funding its expansion plans and its $177 million share-repurchase program.
It's been a disappointing year for Noodles & Company
Noodles shares are trading near their lows since the company's IPO. This comes as its quarterly numbers have been disappointing. In the first quarter, systemwide same-store sales were down 1.6%. The company blamed the weather for its weak sales results, but the weather wasn't much of a factor for Zoe's Kitchen or Chipotle. Earnings per share showed no growth, as Noodles & Company earned $0.05 a share, the same as last year.
Noodles & Company is still forecasting growth for 2014 after a disappointing first quarter. The company expects same-store sales to grow 2.5% to 3% over last year. Noodles & Company plans to open 42 to 50 new restaurants, and its franchise partners plan to open 10 to 15 new locations.
Noodles & Company shareholders are hoping management delivers. Shares are still looking expensive, trading at 51 times next year's earnings. Shares are more expensive than Chipotle shares, which trade at only 35 times next year's earnings. Another disappointing quarter and shares of Noodles & Company are likely to head lower.
Foolish final thoughts
I really like the Zoe's Kitchen concept. A Mediterranean diet is well known for its added health benefits, and Zoe's Kitchen is at the forefront of this dietary trend. I think shareholders of Zoe's Kitchen can rest a little easier knowing that the first quarter is out of the way. If Zoe's Kitchen can continue posting strong numbers, it might just be the next Chipotle Mexican Grill that investors are looking for.
This opportunity could be bigger than Chipotle and Zoe's combined
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

If you are interested in buying a new appliance at a Vancouver-area retail store, you will probably want to ask about the product's energy usage and how much it will cost to operate. For many, that's become part of the shopping experience these days.
All appliances are required to display the amount of energy needed to power the machine. But the labels can be a bit confusing if you're not sure what to look for. An easy way to compare usage and cost of everything from refrigerators to washing machines is to use Energy Star labeling. Energy Star certification is an addition to the required usage labeling and guarantees that the appliance is more energy efficient than traditional models.
Products and appliances that earn the Energy Star label must first meet efficiency requirements as outlined by the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which unveiled the program in 1992.
Qualified products must deliver the features and performance demanded by consumers, in addition to increased energy efficiency. If the Energy Star-qualified product costs more than a conventional, less-efficient counterpart, then you must be able to recover your investment through increased energy efficiency and savings on your utility bill over a reasonable amount of time. Energy Star labeling is based on these principles:
• Energy efficiency can be achieved through broadly available, non-proprietary technologies offered by more than one manufacturer.
• Product energy consumption and performance can be measured and verified through testing.
• Labeling would effectively differentiate products and be visible for purchasers.
The whole idea is to make it easy for you to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features and comfort.
60 categories
If it has been awhile since you last bought a new appliance, you may be surprised by how much more efficient new units are than those of 20 years ago and how using Energy Star labeling comparisons will help you make the best purchase.
Energy Star testing and labeling applies to more than 60 product categories and more than 40,000 individual product models. The program estimates that Americans are saving $18 billion a year on utility bills and have cut annual greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 29 million vehicles by choosing Energy Star.
Through 2010, more than 20,000 organizations partnered with the EPA on Energy Star programs. More than 1,600 manufacturers are using Energy Star labels.
A label within a label
While our general understanding of Energy Star labeling has increased, energy counselors at Clark Public Utilities say that some consumers may not know that there can be different levels of efficiency for appliances that receive the Energy Star label. So don't assume the label means they're all the same.
Recently, Energy Star administrators issued new tighter rules for appliances. EPA staff will now review each product application. Manufacturers must submit complete lab test results for products before applying for Energy Star certification.
Appliance technology continues to evolve, with the next generation expected to offer "energy sensitive" automated products that will run during off-peak hours when power demand is lower and may cost less is the future.
Other appliances may automatically turn off to save on "ghost" standby power costs. All of these new appliances will need clear labeling from Energy Star to help consumers make the best cost-effective purchase investments.

Energy Adviser is produced by Clark Public Utilities and relies on the expertise of utility energy counselors and staff, who provide conservation and energy use information. For more information, call 360-992-3355, email email@example.com or visit www.clarkpublicutilities.com.

For those amongst us, dare I say it, with a shopping addiction, giving up a $20-a-day habit is preferable to never setting foot in a shopping mall again. Take it from us, the people who put the word "shopaholic" in the O.E.D. But like any bad habit, when the fix is temporary and only leaves you wanting more money for more wardrobe space and ultimately more shopping, you can do one of only two things:
- Die under a mountain of unworn clothes and final demand notices, or
- Learn how to work with what you've got.
Styling is a basic skill that appears to elude many of us. We have chosen to shop till we drop instead, the fashion industry's answer to reaching fashionista's nirvana, the place celebrities in magazines tell us they go in between rehab. Despite the rising cost of everything, the price of clothes is actually lower than 20 years ago. One of the key factors keeping inflation statistics unrealistically low, a phenomenon attributed to either volume sales of ignominious proportions, slave labour or likely a combination of both.
The TV gives us our weekly dose of fashion shows that all talk of styling without actually delivering any concrete "how tos" (got to keep those advertisers happy), and the constant use of "on trend" and "must haves" puts us once again firmly in that subliminal, inescapable shopaholic matrix.
So if, like us, you are sick of being a slave to the fashion industry's rhythm but could never swap your stillettos for sneakers (unless you're exercising of course), here's what you do. First, learn these two simple rules.
Rule Number 1: Style equals confidence; style does not equal fashion.
Rule Number 2: Style is free; fashion is costly.
Then sort out your clothes into seven groups: Tops, bottoms, dresses, jackets, shoes, bags, and accessories. The largest group should always be accessories (hats, belts, jewelery, hosiery, scarves, hair clips) as they fit you on fat days, take up minimum storage space, and last a lifetime.
Beware: The single biggest mistake when it comes to styling is too many clothes and not enough accessories. The desired ratio accessories to separates is 3:1.
Now find a look in a magazine you love and have a go at copying it piece by piece. It doesn't have to be exact. Copy colors if you can't match shapes or visa versa. By experimenting with what you have, you'll start to recognise duplicate items are pointless when it comes to styling as are things that don't fit. For each outfit you style, add at least three items from your accessories. It is these additions that make your look unique to you. As you work, gaps in your wardrobe will start to appear. When you do decide you deserve a little retail therapy, resist the temptation to be drawn to the High Street and do what every savvy style guru does — pick up your individual must haves, a.k.a. another shopaholic's mistakes, from our style studio without spending a penny. Take it from us, as experts at conquering addiction (trust us you never escape it), the buzz is even better when you get what you need not just what you want.

Who is all invited?
I have another BFF who moved to Washington, (I am in Florida). I really really want her to be here. She has two small ones and I doubt we would be able to afford her flight. But it makes me sad to think about not having her support. She was a huge support for me with dd. and she loves birth. Lol. She had both her girls at home (as well as her stillborn daughter. So a total of 3)
Married to my best friend,12/11/2004
DD,little bird,4/2011, born c/s
DS, man cub, 10/30/13 vbac at home
TTC journey while nursing
I am only comfortable with the idea of my DH being there (besides my midwives). My DD will be 21 months at the time; she may or may not be there depending on the time of day and how fast labor goes. The only other person I could really see being there would be a friend of mine who lives 5 hours away; I doubt she'll be able to be here.
Eisley Moon (11-8-11) Kipling Quentin (8-30-13)
Oh my goodness! That is NOT for me, but if it's what you are comfortable with, go for it! It freaks me out a little just thinking about it. Knowing my loud and abnoxious family though, it would be very distracting and I don't think they could be quiet. I will have 2 MWs at mine and 1 assistant along with my husband. DS will be 16 mo at the time of birth and I'm not sure what we will do with him yet. I hate the idea of him not being there but I also don't know that I want someone else there to help watch and take care of him. If we do have someone come for him it will most likely be my sister, I don't want my mom or MIL there. I kind of do want my sister to be there so I might have someone take DS, but like I said, I hate the idea of him not being there. He is so sweet and loving but he is will only be 16 mo so a bit unpredictable.
follwer of Christ :: wife :: mommy
Solomon born@home 1/28/12
Elsa born@home 6/19/13
I only have one, but it was me, DH, MW, Doula, and my mom. My sister and dad were going to be there, but for some reason, that many people stalled my labor. So my dad and sis were removed, then it took a few hours to get everything going again.
Next time I definitely want that sister to be there, at least. She's currently 15 and I'm hoping to set good examples for her, my brother, and other sister. I don't know if my brother would ever be interested, but he might come around eventually, especially after he has settled down and is thinking about kids himself (he's 18 right now, but loves DD to death). My other sister is 12.
We'll have to see what happens with #2, but that won't be for a couple years.

Dating Rules for the Digital Age
Dating Rule #1: You're not Nick Newell
Just because there's an awesome MMA fighter with one arm doesn't mean you have to imitate him, or fight the game of love with one hand behind your back. There are digital tools to improve your dating life; use them. Your competition will be.
For example, if you met an interesting woman earlier in the day and now you're at a great party and want to invite her, don't just text. Send a picture or video clip of where you are to entice her.
Or, when you go on a first date, have some impressive pictures on your phone. Just like we covered in the how to use Tinder piece, let your pictures tell a story about who you are. Don't just have a collection of headshots, or worse, photos of you with your arm around random women. That screams insecurity. Have pictures of yourself doing different things, with different people, in a way that complements your identity and is attractive to her.
Why is this important? Because at some point, you'll be talking about a trip you were on or a show you were at, and she'll ask if you have pictures. Prepare for her to browse other photos when she does.
Dating Rule #2: She's not Nick Newell either
Newsflash: Women generally spend more time thinking and talking about dating and relationships than men. She's not going to fight for what she wants with one arm behind her back either.
A friend of mine caught her ex-boyfriend cheating. He told her he was at home, but the background noise on his phone sounded different. So she asked him to get on video chat for a second. He couldn't, because he was at another woman's house. Five years ago, he might have gotten away with this. Now he can't.
By the way, I'm just using this as a (stark) example. I'm not trying to help anyone cheat. You shouldn't have to lie to get what you want. Check out this Men's Fitness guide to dating multiple women without lying.

My vet said the smellier the cat food the better, like a strong fishy smell. It's best to mix the meds into their soft food and the stronger the food smells the less likely they will detect that there is meds in the food.
Good luck and my hats off to you for caring for the ferel kitties.

Feral cat with herpes outbreak.........Posted on 07/24/13, 02:24 pm
My mama feral kitty has an out break of the herpes virus. All my feral kitties have this but they don't have outbreaks very often. Mama kitty seems to be having them a lot more lately. Her one eye is very swollen and when it's open it almost looks like the eye is gone. She is so sick this time. I am trying to give her antibiotics and L-lysine but she is not really wanting to eat. I think she can taste the L-lysine in her food. Anyone know of any tricks to get her to eat the food with the meds in it. She does not like tuna juice so that is out.
I get so stressed out when I am not able to help them. Thanks for any advice you have.

Reply #2 07/24/13 5:34pm
Thanks, I think maybe she is just so sick that she is not wanting to eat. My feral kitties love any kind of canned food and get it every day but she is just not really eating much of anything. She also eats very slow and her daughters will gobble up their food and then boot mama away from her dish.
They are very fat feral cats and very spoiled but you would think I never feed them when it comes to morning and evening meals. They each get their own dish with food in it, trying to get them to lose some weight but they think I am starving them to death......:-)
Mama kitties eye has never been this bad, I'm just worried because I cannot trap her and take her to see a vet and I know that sometimes when the eyes get bad and often enough that they lose the eye and what I mean is it would have to be removed. I am just in a panic right now.

For all those people who are slaves to their cats!

Windows Vista Cannot Obtain IP AddressWritten by Girl Geekette on July 14, 2011 – 11:05
Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP Address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers
Consider the following scenario:
- You connect a Windows Vista-based computer to a network.
- A router or other device that is configured as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is configured on the network.
- The router or the other device does not support the DHCP BROADCAST flag.
In this scenario, Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Smith, Richard (Matthews)
Smith, Richard (Matthews), guitar, composer, arranger, educator, producer; b. Detroit, Michigan, 15 August 1959. He was raised in Eugene, Oregon (3 years old to 23 years old). His father, Richard Alan Smith (b. 1/12/32) is a Prof. Of Architecture. His mother, Nancy K. Mcfadden (b. 11/13/38), has a PHD in U.S. History. His sibling is Robin Alain Smith (b. 8/1/56). He studied with Jack Petersen in 1979 and Joe Diorio from 1983-86.
Born in Detroit Michigan, raised in Oregon - a Chick Corea Electric Band concert inspired Smith to dedicate his life to the guitar at the age of 14. Within a year he was playing the many jazz and blues clubs in Oregon. At the age of 19 he left school to pursue offers of a recording contract and a tour with keyboardist Dan Siegel. Making a decision that changed his life dramatically, Richard packed two guitars into a small car and headed for Los Angeles, where he entered the USC Master of Music program. His USC instructor, jazz legend Joe Diorio, recommended him to Pianist Billy Mitchell, who introduced Richard to the world of rhythm & blues and L.A.'s thriving and ever-changing urban jazz scene.
He hung out and worked with Russ Freemen, Max Bennett, Sam Riney, Tony Guerrero, Brian Bromberg, Jeff Kashiwa, Billy Mitchell and other stars of the L.A. jazz scene. About this time Richard made a "demo" with the help of friends Kenny G and Dan Siegel. Doing sessions for pop artists, he met a producer from Japan who heard the demo, and signed Smith in the parking lot of the Baked Potato jazz club. This first recording effort was rewarded with a nomination for record of the year in Japan. Within a year he joined Richard Elliot spent much of his life on the road with Richard and jazz luminaries Peter White, Rick Braun, Marc Antoine, Warren Hill, Kirk Whalum, Dan Siegel, Guitars and Saxes and others.
He is on faculty at the Thornton School at the University of Southern California, where he is chair of the Studio/Jazz Guitar department. He was the youngest guitarist to make the rank of Professor in that school's history. He was also the youngest chairman - at the age of 29,while still performing 100 concerts a year as Richard Elliot's high-profile guitarist, and riding the top of airplay charts for his solo albums. He started the first Doctoral program in jazz guitar in the world and is wildly passionate about bringing attention to modern American music. He facilitated an honorary degree from USC for Quincy Jones. In 2000 Richard made the decision to scale back touring and sideman work, and concentrate on solo projects. On 9/11 2002, Richard launched GuitarMasters.Org, which has raised thousands of dollars and provided free lessons, classes, guitars and mentoring to "at-risk" young people in South Central Los Angeles through the Challengers Boys and Girls Club.
His wife is Lynn Scott-Smith, a landscape designer.

Biography of Elena Sandu
Am I a poet? Myself as such, how could I see?
I have no clue of how to write good poetry...
My tiny words, are nothing more then little tries
to have a whisper of my heart
(I only changed a habit, that of speaking to a wall,
the paper seems to listen to me more.)
Most of time I write fast and free, just like I love to dance, ignoring imposed rules the only thread followed being my soul, my heart, memory trying to catch on paper few moments of unconsciously instinctual breathing.

Dear Friends,
One of the pleasurable by-products of teaching seminars around the nation is that I get to meet so many wonderful people and see beautiful parts of this magnificent country. Such was the case recently in Vermont, where, on July 1 st , we held a seminar with a number of people in Montpelier. However, in contrast to the Founders principles that were taught that day, Vermont was experiencing a tragedy.
On that very day, the newly passed law legalizing "civil unions" between homosexual couples went into effect. The press went wild, giving full, front-page coverage to this "historic" event. Homosexuals from Vermont and other states entered government offices that were kept open just for this occasion, to obtain a license so they could finally have their unions legally performed. Headlines in the Burlington Free Press declared, "In towns across Vermont, men and women unite; now they're ready to test new rights in other states".
This is a most serious situation and should concern not only the citizens of Vermont, but citizens in every state of this nation. Two decades ago, Vermont was targeted by the homosexuals. It is a small state with only 600,000 people. Most of the people are independent and live in other than populated areas. Over the past 15-20 years, judgeships and legislative positions were targeted without much notice to an apathetic citizenry. When the homosexuals felt they had enough strength in those positions they made their move. Even some in the public schools are now beginning to develop new curriculum that will teach increasing acceptance of this now legal lifestyle.
So that all may know the tactics used in Vermont, I am including below a description of just how it happened, written by an attorney in Vermont. Every state in this union is somewhere on this same timeline to disaster. Hopefully, by hearing the Vermont story, citizens in other states can wake up to their own state's awful situation. I have added a few comments and inserted headings for clarity.
The Civil Truth About " Civil Unions"
Vermont has legalized quasi-marriage for same-sex couples.
Will other states be forced to follow?
By David Orgon Coolidge
Starting July 1, any two adults not closely related by blood can enter into a "civil union" in Vermont. They must apply for a license and recruit a member of the clergy or a justice of the peace to conduct a ceremony and sign their license, whereupon the town clerk will duly register their union.
If this sounds familiar, it should. It's marriage by another name. A same-sex couple in a civil union will be all but married under Vermont law. If anyone treats a civil union differently from a marriage, that person will be guilty of discrimination on the basis of marital status. Starting January 1, 2001, all insurance policies offered in Vermont must treat civil unions and marriages identically. It is unclear whether the religious exemption added to the civil unions bill at the last moment will have teeth.
While You Were Sleeping
How did this happen? At the time the legislature was crafting this innovation, only 40 percent of Vermonters favored extending the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples. The bill itself was pushed through the legislature in the space of less than two months. Yet its enactment was no chance development.
The long march to legitimize homosexuality in Vermont began 15 years ago, with the formation of the state Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1985. The coalition's annual conferences, along with the Gay and Lesbian newspaper, Out in the Mountains , which began publication in 1986, were important in promoting the cause. Their efforts found a receptive audience in the pervasively liberal Vermont political establishment. They first bore legislative fruit with the enactment of a wide-ranging anti-discrimination law in 1992.
Around the same time, the Vermont Law School began to hold annual conferences on "Sexual Orientation and the Law" where gay and lesbian attorneys and activists networked. Also in the early nineties, a number of prominent employers in the state, of which Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is only the best known, began to offer domestic partnerships benefits. The state of Vermont took this step in 1991. The town of Burlington followed in 1993, and the town of Middlebury in 1995.
The second big legal victory for the gay community came in the courts with significant assistance from Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), a Boston law firm active across New England. In a landmark decision in 1993, the Vermont Supreme Court held that existing adoption law permitted "second-parent" adoptions by same-sex partners. In 1995, the legislature amended the adoption code to make this explicit (although it did so under the rubric of "unmarried" persons, rather than specifying same-sex partners).
Vermont, of course, was not the only state where the gay lobby was making headway. In Hawaii, attempts to legalize same-sex marriage were foiled when the state legislature voted in April 1997 to put a state constitutional amendment on the ballot reaffirming traditional marriage. The amendment ultimately passed, but in the meantime, on July 22, 1997, three homosexual couples filed suit in Vermont claiming that the "common benefits clause" of the state constitution entitled them to full coverage under the marriage statute. The suit, Baker v. Vermont , was announced online jointly by GLAD and the New York-based Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund. Lambda had been co-counsel in a similar suit in Hawaii; GLAD became co-counsel in Vermont.
Judicial Activism Reinterprets the Constitution
In December 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court, pointing to the enactment of the anti-discrimination law and the revised adoption code, ruled for the plaintiffs. Under the Vermont constitution, the court held, committed same-sex couples must be given the same legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities as married couples.
(Editorial comment: Article 7 of the Vermont state constitution declares, "That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit , protection, and security of the people, nation or community, and not for the particular emolument or advantage of any single man, family, or set of men who are a part only of that community.." In the Baker v Vermont case the state supreme court declared that the "common benefit" clause really means "common benefit s ", thus two people of the same sex have claim to the same "benefits" as those who are married. This is a deliberate attempt to change the meaning of "common benefit" which was originally to mean that any government should be for the "common good " of all people. This revisionist interpretation parallels that which has been done to the meaning of "general welfare" in our U. S. Constitution. Also, in my own state of Arizona, our state supreme court recently arrogantly proclaimed that the words "general and uniform education" in our state constitution means that the state should pay for and regulate all education in the state.)
The Vermont Supreme Court left it to the legislature, however, to decide how to accomplish this.
To grasp what it means to "leave something to the legislature" in Vermont, one has to appreciate certain logistical realities. There are 150 representatives and 30 senators, none of whom, except the Senate president and the Speaker of the House, has an office. To reach a legislator, you leave a message with the sergeant at arms or call the legislator at home. Each committee chairman gets a clerk and a committee room, but the typical committee room can hold the committee, one witness, and 5 to 10 chairs. Legislators have no personal staff; for drafting bills, they rely on a pool of staff attorneys, as well as on research and drafts supplied by various lobbies.
A Majority of Vermonters Opposed Such "Civil Unions"
Legislators, nonetheless, are accountable to the voters as appointed justices are not, and in the aftermath of the Baker decision, polls showed 52 percent of Vermonters disagreed with the court. The governor, Democrat Howard Dean, declared himself "uncomfortable" with same-sex marriage, but "committed" to equal rights; his Commission on Women had recently honored two of the lesbian plaintiffs. Given the climate of opinion, the Speaker of the House and president of the Senate, although both were Democrats and on the record in favor of same-sex marriages, deferred to their judiciary committees to fashion the legislation suggested by the court. Both committees were headed by well-meaning liberals with vice chairmen eager to move the issue forward. Both committees voted against legalizing same-sex "marriage," as did the full House. Having thus "taken marriage off the table," they proceeded to explore the option of same-sex "civil unions." For most liberals (in both parties) who had dominated state politics for a generation, this new terminology offered the perfect means of complying with the court's ruling. Conservatives had a much harder task: to stop either the courts or the legislature from going further down the path of mainstreaming homosexuality. As in Hawaii, the only means of doing this was a constitutional amendment.
The House committee held its hearings first, in January and February. Some sessions, at the statehouse, were the usual parade of scheduled speakers; others, held at various locations, were an opportunity for ordinary citizens to speak.
Bureaucrats, Lawyers, Big Business, Press Against the People
Those testifying in favor of same-sex unions included members of the Dean administration (the commerce secretary assured the committee that civil unions would have no impact on tourism, and the insurance commissioner gave similar assurances on benefits issues), Vermont Law School professors, a plethora of psychiatrists, social workers, and public health personnel, and a representative from Blue Cross-Blue Shield, who said his firm would obey the law. "Progressive" business people chimed in with a newspaper ad in favor of civil unions.
The proponents' arguments, all of which were present or implicit in the court's ruling in Baker , were of four main types: procedural, factual, moral, and legal.
The procedural claim was that the court had spoken, and the legislature should obey. Some argued that the court was the official interpreter of the constitution, and the legislature should defer as a matter of principle. Others argued pragmatically that if the legislature did not give the court what it demanded, the court (which had taken the unusual step of keeping the case open before it) might do something worse. This was a powerful threat.
The factual claim was that many lesbians and gays in Vermont have committed relationships and are raising children. They work hard, pay taxes, and so forth. Extending marital benefits, protections, and responsibilities to them would strengthen Vermont.
The moral claim was that sexual orientation is irrelevant to marriage, and what people do sexually is purely a private matter that is nobody's business. The essence of marriage is love, commitment, trust, and forgiveness, as one senator put it. The social institution of marriage is intended to encourage fidelity and family stability.
Finally, the legal argument was that the Vermont constitution is committed to inclusion; that pursuing equality and fighting discrimination are the heart of Vermont's political tradition.
The uniformly liberal press repeated these arguments endlessly. The AP reporter assigned to the story, Ross Sneyd, had served on the board of Out in the Mountains . Reporters and editorial writers for the Rutland Herald and Burlington Free Press attacked the Roman Catholic Church and caricatured civil union opponents as bigots.
As the debate unfolded, supporters of civil unions changed their tactics, morphing from liberal reformers advancing the rights of individuals into Burke-quoting conservatives upholding the rule of law. By their account, the people of Vermont had become a tyrannical majority, and the defenders of traditional marriage were radicals who wanted to yield to mob rule.
Churches and People Are Too Little and Too Late
But what about the opponents of civil unions? Consider their state of organization on December 20, 1999, the day the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Baker .
Churches were the primary focus of opposition, but they were not, and did not aspire to be, political players. Nor did the opposition enjoy an organizational base in pre-existing public policy groups. Vermont had no Catholic Conference or family policy council, not even a tiny chapter of some national pro-marriage organization. There were some pro-life groups, and some supporters of school choice, all of whom were out of favor with the legislature. There was only one state think tank, the Ethan Allen Institute, a critic of judicial activism.
To fill the gap, a secular citizens group, Take It to the People (TIP), had been formed in 1998 in response to the filing of the Baker suit. TIP and its sympathizers generated amicus briefs in support of the marriage law. They put up booths at state fairs. And they held their first big fund-raising dinner in November 1999, only a month before the court spoke.
Neither TIP nor the churches had a regular presence at the statehouse. As a result, when the legislative session opened in January 2000, legislators and their staffs saw TIP as a total stranger to the process and a sinister intruder. The fact that TIP was calling for a pro-marriage constitutional amendment strained matters further. TIP hired William Shouldice & Associates, a top-notch lobbying firm, but it did so only in February, long after the other side had hired the comparable firm of Kimball, Sherman & Ellis.
Despite the odds, TIP and its religious allies mobilized significant opposition to civil unions. They chose articulate spokesmen and turned out large crowds for two rallies at the statehouse. The first of the citizen hearings, held in Montpelier during a snowstorm, drew an estimated 1,200 people, and the second, a week later, drew 1,800, according to the Burlington Free Press . A New York Times reporter likened the turnout to 90,000 citizens showing up for a rally in Albany."
In my observations of state governments around this country, surely every state is somewhere along the same path that Vermont has traveled. Many of us know of homosexuals currently in judicial and legislative positions in our own and other states. Do you know where your state is on this path?
History will bear out the fact that God draws the line with homosexuality. No nation will endure long which embraces this crime against nature and nature's God. If there was ever a wake-up call to Americans, this surely is it.
Earl Taylor, Jr.

Land degradation is always with us but its causes, extent and severity are contested. We define land degradation as a long-term decline in ecosystem function and productivity, which may be assessed using long-term, remotely sensed normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. Deviation from the norm may serve as a proxy assessment of land degradation and improvement – if other factors that may be responsible are taken into account. These other factors include rainfall effects which may be assessed by rain-use efficiency, calculated from NDVI and rainfall. Results from the analysis of the 23-year Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) NDVI data indicate declining rain-use efficiency-adjusted NDVI on ca. 24% of the global land area with degrading areas mainly in Africa south of the equator, South-East Asia and south China, north-central Australia, the Pampas and swaths of the Siberian and north American taiga; 1.5 billion people live in these areas. The results are very different from previous assessments which compounded what is happening now with historical land degradation. Economic appraisal can be undertaken when land degradation is expressed in terms of net primary productivity and the resultant data allow statistical comparison with other variables to reveal possible drivers.

[9 July 1858]
Friday, 2 p.m., Gill—
Nothing but this,1 and from you the Address on the Tourgaeneff Book!2 If you are wellish, or even if you are ill, was there ever such usage! I must do the best I can with it. Jean, who is here, making belts &c, and administering the cares of cloth, advises me much not to take it up on the tragical side; whh I try all I can not to do. The address this day is in firm hand, tho' the spelling continues. I try to interpret symbollically, "On my sofa, not worse than you have often seen me; reading Tourgff as you perceive and not done with the first volume." If only tomorrow Confirm all this! But how even then shall I ever forgive me.
I have got my sleep again; did not ride yesterday, except in gig a little way; am just going out on my dromedary, with a mackintosh agt showers. Till tuesday morning you are not to look out for any more of this scribbling. Tailor comes on Monday.— Eheu, Oh dear,—and other interjections suppressed!
Yours T.C.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 50 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PazKe A great table I just purchased this at my local store tonight after viewing it and reading the reviews online. I brought it home and put it together by myself in about 20 minutes. A hex key is provided with the hardware and no additional tools were needed. I recently purchased a sectional sofa and ottomans for our tv room. The tall sides of the sofa meant that our side tables no longer worked and the ottomans made a coffee table impractical. Enter the Alemeda Laptop Table. It slides under the sofa so it does not interfere with the ottomans and now my husband has a place for his remotes and his drink. The top is a high quality wood with a nice stain. Though, it has a 'hand rubbed' finish so I think coasters will be required. If I decide that bothers me I will just give it a few coats of polyurethane. I'm kind of a cheap skate when it comes to furniture, but I still think this was worth the price I paid. June 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by prescottsweet Beautiful Tables We like to eat dinner while watching TV, but didn't want ordinary, cheap looking "TV trays", so looked long and hard to find these beauties. They slip under the couch easily to hold your meal (or whatever you want to use them for) and just look like high quality 'wood' side tables wherever you place them. The tops are metal, but look exactly like wood, are sturdy and of very high quality, easy to assemble and packed and shipped very carefully. They will match virtually and wood decor you have and definitely look "high end". Very pleased and glad to have found them, so thumbs up for World Market! January 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by PebbleBird Pretty and functional We got this table for someone who is essentially wheelchair-bound, and who eats dinner in a recliner in front of a television. The table is sturdy enough to use as a dining tray and it pulls forward over her lap to function better than a regular TV tray. I didn't expect the table to be as pretty as it turned out to be! In addition, I think it will work well for a computer table to use while online in a room away from the home office. I'd definitely purchase another one of these tables! January 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goldie18 This product goes beyond my expectations. I love my laptop tables. I purchased three to replace TV trays. I was impressed with the quality of materials and easy to read instructions. They are big enough for the laptop, eating lunch, playing games, etc. August 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by klweb These are really nice wood tables. We had been looking for "C" tables to go with our new leather sectional so we had a place to put our tea or snacks while chatting or tv watching. We looked at Home Goods, Pier One, online etc...the tables were usually around $100. but not really nice enough. We almost settled and I came across these, they are beautiful wood, well put together and actually match our expensive, cherry entertainment center!! We are more than pleased with these table, we bought 3 of them! I would highly recommend them to anyone as a tray table, end table or even a lap top! Cheap price but quality product!! February 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brooke If you are on the fence, just go for it! I own 3 of these tables, I've also had them for 3 years so I feel I can write an informed review. I use 2 as bedside tables in a guest bedroom and one is used to keep a wireless keyboard and mouse on when I need to use a desktop computer at home. Let me say, the one I use the keyboard/mouse on has taken some abuse. I don't use a mouse pad, it's had numerous hot and cold beverages sat right on it over the past few years and it looks almost new. No scratching, no warping, the surface still feels smooth. They are so versatile and easy to hide away when not needed. Well worth the money in my opinion. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by misangela Alameda laptop table: pricey but very good quality! These tables were very expensive ($60ea) in my opinion, for what they are. They are usually $80, which is exorbitant - I would NOT have bought them at that price! Anyway, they are sturdy and the design is just right for using your laptop or using them as dinner tables. They also fit nicely against our coffee table when not in use. They are expensive, but they will last forever (I hope!). August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oleg Great value Great value. This table fits perfectly my living room. Quality of top and stand are very good. I'm very satisfied of my purchase March 31, 2014

There are only 24 more days until Thanksgiving! Time to take down the Halloween decorations and bring out the turkeys and pilgrims. It never gets old to count your blessings and list the things you are grateful for. Here's a quick craft idea that will tickle the piggies and warm up the hearts.
- Chose a few sheets of construction paper in festive Thanksgiving colors and glue them together in a fun pattern.
- Have your child step on the outer edges of the paper with their heels close together so you can trace their feet.
- Then have your child fan both of their hands together in the middle to form all the turkey feathers.
- Cut out a circle in brown and an oval in black or brown for the body to place between the hands.
- Fast, easy & ticklish turkey.
Now on each toe/finger write what you are thankful for this year. Remember the Baltimore Blizzard? Do you have a favorite Raven's player to be thankful for? Stretch their imaginations of all the things they should be thrilled about. Don't forget to always include the basics of being thankful for families, friends, homes, food and love.

Kitchen Remodeling for Thanksgiving? The Time to Start is Now
From Dean Dowd on July 12, 2011 in Kitchen Remodel
If you've said for years that you'll have everyone over for Thanksgiving once you finish that kitchen remodel, I've got news for you: the time to start planning is now.
Yes, the wonderful holiday centered on food, company and the kitchen may seem far away. But planning now affords you the time you need to find a contractor, sketch out a plan of attack, select your new kitchen fixtures and begin construction.
And it lets you organize each step with much less stress than, say, cooking that eighteen-pound turkey and perfecting the bread pudding brandy sauce.
First Things First
If you haven't found a contractor, start comparing bids before you do anything else. You may think you can't afford much, but only a contractor can accurately price your renovation.
Click here to learn just how much your remodel will cost.
Next, heres a list of steps that will take you from dreaming about a remodeled kitchen, to cooking in it with glee.
1. Get Your Brainstorming On
The kitchen is, as Julia Child said, the heart of the home. It's required to provide several different functions. From cooking to storage to gathering everyone in one place, the kitchen is the single most important room in your home. Start by getting together a folder of brainstorm material. Create a list of what you want from your remodel. What are your needs? What needs upgrading the most?
Remember that appliance upgrades are one of the largest returns on investment in a home, and can increase your homes overall value, not to mention make it more beautiful and functional now. Read up here about how to replace your appliances with affordable choices, and receive government rebates in the meantime.
Collect clippings and notes on what style you want in your new kitchen. Remember that, being such an integral part of the overall household, you want the kitchen to feel new but still flow with the overall aesthetic. Collect kitchen pictures and notes of what you want to achieve both functionally and aesthetically.
2. Plan the Timeline
One of the most helpful things you can do to insure a successful project is to create a plan of needed steps and an accompanying timeline. This gets you through the project in simpler, broken-down phasesand helps the professionals youve hired understand your needs and their time limits.
Youve seen it in neighbors and maybe past projects: theres nothing more stressful than feeling like a renovation project will never end, or worse, becomes a total failure. While a kitchen renovation can seem a huge task to undertake, everything's easier when you plan in advancein planning now.
3. Hire the Right Professionals
After you know the priorities of your kitchen remodel and what you specifically want, a professional can help solidify your plans. Locally based contractors can transform your dreaming into concrete reality. Click here to check out our own great database for a contractor in your area.
Professionals know which appliances and details save money, energy, and qualify for rebates. They also bring their professional experience to the projectand you may even be surprised at concepts they suggest that you never considered, providing you with exactly what youre wantingand more.

Hello everyody ,
Someone knows if an ALV-GRID has a limitation of records ? I´m ´have a specification for make a program to generate five millions of records , but i don´t know if the alv-grid report will support it ?
thank a lot
Best Regards,
Welcome to SCN.
I don't think any limitation in number of record.
But display speed is concern.
For testing this. open a huge table in se16 and one session with normal "se16 standard list" and other session in "ALV grid display" and scroll both and see the performance.
The question I would ask is "Why?"
ALV is basically a report. What use is a report containing millions of records?
Also, ALV might not have a limitation, but your program may run out of memory creating such a large internal table.

Everyone on earth has become a primate overnight!
Thankfully as the Super Friends are on the Satellite, they are safe... for now.
The emergency alarm fired up and a message from King Solovar begged them to come to Gorilla City. Though the Super Friends know as soon as they arrive they'll become apes too they have no choice.
True to form they change as soon as they arrive... the gorillas have changed in the opposite way, it's now Human City! These newly transformed humans attempt to capture the Super Friends until Wonder... chimp is able to trap them in her lasso.
Something screwy is going one, apes are now human and humans are apes? Who could be behind it Diana asked... Gorilla Grodd!
A wretched old man calls for help and Flash brings him to safety, the man reveals there is a machine responsible for everything and it is in the shielded lab... problem is only Gorilla Grodd can get in to switch it off... not him... Human Grodd!
Grodd reveals it was originally a revenge plot but the device was so strong it affected the entire planet - not just Gorilla City.
Super ape couldn't smash through the forcefield...
Wonder chimp couldn't pull the machine out with her lasso...
Flash realizes something in a rare moment of intelligence - when the forcefield is on only Grodd as an ape can enter or exit but one other thing can get in - AIR!
Using his tail as a whirlwind creator he uses the air inside to create a vacuum pulling the machine outside! Into the arms of Super ape and Green monkey who quickly set it down for Grodd to deactivate. He does so much more comfortable in his own skin and everyone else in theirs too!
Green Lantern uses his ring to prevent Grodd from using his mental powers and imprisons him!
All is well!

English's Northern Illinois Bio (in PDF format)
DeKALB, Ill. - Just hours after joining his 2008 Northern Illinois teammates on the Huskie Stadium sidelines for NIU's spring football scrimmage and at the Yordon Center, where the team was presented with their 2008 Independence Bowl rings, Huskie defensive great Larry English (Aurora, Ill./Marmion Academy) became the highest draft choice in school history when he was selected by the San Diego Chargers with the 16th pick in the National Football League draft.
English, a two-time winner of the Mid-American Conference Vern Smith Leadership Award and the 2008 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, got the call just before 5 p.m.
"I came up to my room in the house for a minute and then I went out in the hallway, saw my mom, then the phone rang and it was the Chargers saying they were going to take me," English said. "It's hard to explain, hard to put it fully into words how I feel. I'm extremely excited, I'm very happy and I'm extremely grateful. Today has been an excellent day. It was great to see everyone at NIU earlier today, to see the team and be able to say a few parting words. It kind of made the transition complete."
Northern Illinois' previous highest draft choice was split end John Spilis, who was chosen with the 64th pick in the third round of the 1969 draft by the Green Bay Packers. English is the first Huskie defensive player drafted since cornerback Brett Tucker in 1990, who was chosen by the Houston Oilers in the eighth round of the 1990 draft. However, English joins seven former Huskies in the NFL, including former Chargers and current Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner, offensive tackle Ryan Diem of the Indianapolis Colts, Chicago's Garrett Wolfe, Justin McCareins of the Tennessee Titans, New Orleans defensive tackle Hollis Thomas and Sam Hurd (WR) and Doug Free (OT) of the Dallas Cowboys.
"I'm happy to be part of the organization," English said. "It's a great team and a great organization. I honestly had no idea where or when I was going to go. I'm relieved to know and get some clarity on my future. I think that system and style of defense is going to be great for me. I can't wait to get out there and start."
Northern Illinois head coach Jerry Kill, who was on his way to English's house to join the draft day celebration when the defensive end was selected, celebrated his first Huskie draftee.
"I just think there's nothing better in life than seeing someone feel so good," Kill said. "The fact that it happened to such a beautiful kid makes it even more special. The whole Northern Illinois Huskie family is sticking out our chest and [we] are just proud to have someone like Larry represent our university and our football program. It's great to see good things happen to good people. San Diego is getting a great football player and a great human being. I've said all along he's a `can't miss' guy. San Diego is getting someone very special on and off the field."
English's on-the-field accomplishments have been well-documented at Northern Illinois. He owns the Northern Illinois records for quarterback sacks in a single game (5), season (12) and career (31.5), as well as tackles for loss in a game (6), season (20) and career (63). He is one of only two players in Huskie history to be named a first team All-MAC player three times and ranks fifth all-time in the MAC in quarterback sacks and is tied for eighth in career tackles for loss. As a senior, English led all active NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players in sacks (31.5), sack yardage (220) and tackles for loss yards (283), and ranked second in tackles for loss (63). While playing every game but one (50 total) for the Huskies from 2005-08 and starting 47, he compiled 237 tackles, 125 solo and was responsible for opponents' losing 283 yards and eight fumbles.
Chosen by his teammates as the Most Inspirational Player on the 2008 team and named NIU's 2008-09 Male Athlete of the Year, English earned his bachelor's degree from NIU in December 2008,

Historic race cars laid down laps for a second day in the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco on Saturday, May 10. According to the Automobile Club du Monaco (ACM), several qualifying practice and classification contests took place, most running about 20 minutes each on the iconic street circuit of Monte Carlo.
In Series C qualifying practice, "Sports Racing cars raced from 1952 to 1955 inclusive period," according to ACM, the fastest time went to British driver Alex Buncombe in a 1952 Jaguar C Type with 2:03.112. The field of 27 cars in this group was dominated in total number by drivers from the U.K., with British drivers taking four of the top 5 spots as well. The only American in the group placed 25th.
Series D cars are "1500c.c F1 Grand Prix cars from 1961 to 1965 inclusive." In this group's qualifying classification run, British driver Andy Middlehurst took the top spot in a 1962 Lotus 25 (Climax) with a time of 1:50.750. This field has 28 cars with three Americans contesting. The highest placing American in this event was Joseph Colasacco driving a 1964 Ferrari 1512 (Ferrari); he placed third.
Another race series, Series F, also ran on Saturday. These cars are described as "F1 cars, non-ground effects, from 1973 to 1978 inclusive." In a field of 35 cars, there were eight American entries. The top spots, however, all went to Brits -- Nathan Kinch driving a 1978 Williams FW06 and posting a best time of 1:37.095; Michael Lyons driving a 1977 Hesketh 308E; Nick Padmore in a 1975 Williams FW05; and Sam Hancock driving a 1977 Fittipaldi F5A.
A small field of very old cars, according to ACM, "Pre-war Voiturettes and Grand Prix cars," also called Series A, drove the street circuit on Saturday. With just 16 cars in the group, one did not start; one did not finish, and six failed to qualify. Of the eight that did qualify, Irish driver Paddins Dowling came in first in his 1936 ERA B with a time of 1:59.350. Four of the remaining seven were from the U.K.; no Americans ran in this series.
Qualifying practice classification for Series B, "Pre-1961 F1 Grand Prix cars and F2," resulted in Tony Wood of Great Britain topping the list at 1:55.968 in a 1959 TEC-MEC 250F-F1. This is a large group of cars with 31 out of 38 of them qualifying on Saturday. The 31st qualifier is the only American competing in this series, Tom Price, driving a 1956 Maserati 250F ("Offset").
Series E qualifying practice classification for "F1 Grand Prix cars from 1966 to 1972 inclusive," was topped by Japanese driver Katsuaki Kubota in a 1971 Lotus 72 with a time of 1:35.173. He was followed by three racers from the U.K. and one American -- Michael Lyons in second, Robert Hall in third, Andrew Smith in fourth, and American Duncan Dayton in fifth. Five cars in this field of 24 did not qualify.
Races will take place on Sunday, the final day of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.
This is the ninth edition of the historic racing event at the iconic seaside venue. The meeting is held every other year two weeks before the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix takes place on the same circuit. The narrow, winding road course is notoriously hard to drive, making it a challenge hard to pass up by many of historic racing's most dedicated enthusiasts.

The vote on the new law took place following the death of a 4-year-old boy who was reportedly mauled by homeless dogs in Bucharest on 10 September. This child's death was a tragedy, but the vicious killing of animals will not bring him back, nor will it provide a solution to the problem of animal homelessness in the long term.
Killing stray dogs never has a long-term effect on population control. It has been shown repeatedly that the homeless animal population quickly rebounds after large-scale killing campaigns. The only effective way to reduce the population of homeless dogs humanely is to implement a sterilisation programme, to prohibit the sale of animals in markets and pet shops, and to make it illegal to abandon animals on the streets, with real penalties when people are caught breaking the law.
It's urgent that compassionate people speak out now to ensure that the government does not allow this cruel extermination programme to continue. Please send a message to Romanian authorities using the form below.

Baby Onboard: Cruise Ship Inspires Mom-to-Be
July 16, 2012 | By Erica Silverstein | 1 Comment
We've heard of cruise-themed parties, Christmas trees and senior proms, but Cruise Critic member 444cruiser has taken the nautical theme to an extreme with her Disney Dream-inspired baby nursery. She raided Jo-Ann Fabrics, cyber-stalked photographers and repainted furnishings to make a land-locked room feel like a cruise ship. Clever touches include "porthole" mirrors and a nursing pillow re-covered to resemble a life preserver. And, of course, the diaper-changing station is labeled "The Poop Deck."
When baby Anderson comes into the world, he is well positioned to become the littlest big cruise fan. And he may not have to wait too long to experience the real thing — Disney Cruise Line takes tots as young as three months onboard. For your DIY cruise-themed room inspiration, you can take a video tour of Anderson's "Captain's Quarters" or see photos on Cruise Critic's message boards.

Chris O'Grady missed an 84th-minute penalty as Barnsley sunk to the bottom of the Championship with a 1-0 loss at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
The Reds' top-scorer struck the post from the spot after Ryan McLaughlin – the visitors' best player on the day – was clearly fouled by Alex Baptiste.
Barnsley remain five points adrift of safety with five games to play but drop a place to last because Yeovil Town drew with Bournemouth.
Bolton's goal came on 44 minutes when the Reds defence waited for an offside flag which never game as Jermaine Beckford ran onto a long ball by Matt Mills and was in yards out space to round Luke Steele and tap into the empty net. Danny Wilson said afterwards that it was not offside but added that many decisions went against the Reds including what he thought was a penalty for a foul on Chris O'Grady by Liam Trotter.
Beckford missed a similar chance to the goal on 60 minutes when Steele made a fine save and the rebound trickled just wide. Steele also did well to keep out Andre Moritz but it was the Reds who had the better chances.
Dale Jennings blazed over from five yards from a cross by McLaughlin who twice headed wide while O'Grady fired straight at the goalkeeper on a couple of occasions when well-placed.
