(Note: Say, if you get a Three star rating in every Grand Prix except one which you got a One star rating in. You would get a One starred nickname until you manage to upgrade the rank.)

More than one person can be the same character
First, make P1 choose the character you both want to be. Then unselect the character and move off of it. Move P2 over, and select the character. Go back one screen, then go into the character select again. You should both be on the same character. Both of you select the character. Do whatever you want from there on.
Note: In the character select screen and options, whenever one of you does an animation, both of you will. Also, if P2 chooses a different kind of vehicle than P1, P1 will look strange. Don't worry, this won't actually happen in the game.
I haven't tested this with P3 or P4 yet, but in theory, it should work.
Karts and Bikes versions of 50cc and 100cc
You can unlock Karts and Bikes versions of 50cc and 100cc(like 150cc, but slower) by completing all the cups in that CC. To activate these versions, press the + button on the Speed Select screen.

This can be done on both bikes and carts. Even though you don't loose speed or spin out, you still will loose the items you were carrying.

I will be in PA during this event and wondering what the course is like? Would a 29er hard tail cut it or better off with my 26er FS? I'm a Cat1, 50+, riding the 21 mile course. Any info about elevation gains, type of dirt, muddy, rocky, rooty etc would be helpful.
Also, any local races going on during the week from 08/3 thru 08/13 would be good to know about. I'll be near Sayre, PA(near Ithaca, NY) and State College area as well as Bear Creek.
Thanks in advance!

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Carlton Gebbia and Kyle Richards have not been getting along since they started filming the show, but it sounds like Carlton thinks that Kyle is out to get her. And during Lisa Vanderpump's birthday dinner for Ken, Carlton thought that Kyle was going directly at her. According to a new Bravo report published on Feb. 5, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Carlton Gebbia is now revealing that she thought that Kyle was trying to condemn her.
"For me it says a lot about the character of a person who can say such a hateful thing without conscience. A total BASELESS defamatory accusation. This heinous word resonates with people that understand (and some still alive today remember it) and brings to mind the atrocities and pain and evil linked with it," she reveals. Kyle said that she thought Carlton was anti-semitic because she swore when asked if her new tattoo was the Star of David.
"And she throws it around like its a word of the day, obviously having no respect for her adopted faith! She just tried to condemn me to millions of persecuted people and their religious convictions! A word filled with insurmountable pain and hatred that can be so flippantly thrown out with no consequence. As my friends would say: "Tit ba yeshee lach!" "Shame on you!"" Carlton adds.
Do you think Carlton overreacted?

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The cold dry air of winter brings with it cracked dry skin for many people. But how can you know which over-the-counter lotion or cream will provide the relief you need?
Jeff Moore, a pharmaceutics instructor at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, explains lotions and creams contain two main ingredients: oil and water. Individual products run the gamut from mostly oil to mostly water and everything in-between.
Products with higher concentrations of water are usually promoted for their "vanishing" effects and don't stay on the skin as long as their oil-based counterparts, which act more like a bandage, protecting the skin from the moisture-robbing effects of dry cold air.
Which one is right for you just depends on personal preferences.
Most products also contain a wide variety of other substances, ranging from aloe, cocoa butter, herbs, shea butter, spices, and even a byproduct of the coal industry called coal tar. Vitamins are popular additives as well, although Moore notes some experts believe vitamins must be ingested in order to have any protective effects on the skin.
The key when treating dry skin is to recognize the difference between the common dryness caused by winter weather and more serious skin conditions, which cannot be treated with over-the-counter lotions and creams.
"Most of what you find on the store shelves is fine to apply to alleviate symptoms of dry skin," reports Moore. "However, if you have excessive drying, excessive itching, discoloration, or bumps, you will need a medical application. You are not going to get certain medicinal agents off the shelf and need to see a medical professional for a prescription."

Getting To Know Kelly Frings

Christy Arnold is a proud Lemonade Lady and writer of poetry. When you first meet Christy, she is quiet, and appears to be shy. Once you get to know her, you find out how loving, and caring, she is. She has a great sense of humor, when you listen carefully to what she says, you will chuckle at her quick wit. This is her second poem dedicated to the Lemonade Lady collection.
Her poem speaks to us regarding the fact that you can never go home expecting things to be the same. The hallowed halls she writes about is the emptiness you feel inside as you realize everything as you knew it, is gone. She expresses through the rotten swing that the pains of the past have been replaced with hope as she hears the song of the birds. She talks about strolling off the beaten path, which echoes that life is not a straight line; it takes us places we never expect to be. She ends her poem by honoring our memories, but reminds us not to live in our past, but to live in the now.
Christy's poem reminds us that our problems stem from two things:
- We can't let go of something in our past.
- We are living in fear of something that may or may not happen in the future.
When we worry about the past, or the future, it is a major stumbling block when we are trying to control negative thoughts. If you can practice locking your thoughts in the present, you have more control over them, and can stay more positive. The present is about healing the chatter within our heads; it is about life; about enjoying the moment, rather than just being.
Welcome Home
By Christy Arnold
Going to the old home site, poking around,
seeing if the bones are bleached on the ground.
Breathing in deep, and smelling the honeysuckle
that warps around the missing door.
Hallowed halls of what was, is no more.
Scared remnants of cherished moments
rusting away, as the rain drips down,
red as blood, springs trickling stain.
The Crow's Grass white flower,
warns of death every spring.
As the birds sing sweetly, setting above
the rotten tire swing.
Strolling off the beaten path
to see if the lilies are standing in
a huddled mass.
Stones throw away, the pond should be full.
The turtles easing in while the fish are bold.
Skipping the flat flint three times maybe four.
Rippling the water of memories of stories
no longer told.

Hot days, cool parties BY PAM BORDELON| Advocate staff writer June 21, 2014; 4:47 p.m. Comments . Summer's in full swing, and, most afternoons, Baton Rouge resembles a sauna. But that doesn't put a damper on our party spirit, though. We may not be partying quite as fast and furious as we do in the fall and spring, but we're having tons of fun when we all get together. VIPS 'Annie' One of summer's traditions is the special performance of Theater Baton Rouge's summer musical benefiting Volunteers in Public Schools. This year the production is the beloved Broadway hit "Annie," and it packed the house for the June 11 fundraiser. The night got underway with a reception chaired by Alison Gary in the theater's community room. Assisting her were committee members Sister Helen Cahill, Bridgett Johnson, Lauren Juengling, Pam Morgan, Lamonica Solomon, Brittany Walker Sykes and board Chairwoman Mary Lou Potter. Hosts for the reception included Troy Chapman, Pat Friedrich, Gus Levy, Olivia Mack and Sue and Floyd Sones. I didn't get to stay for the whole performance, just long enough to see Annie, played by Molly Beth Blanchard, daughter of friends Sonya and Brad Blanchard, and the adorable cast of orphans perform "It's the Hard Knock Life," with choreography by buddy Mary Bayle. You can get a glimpse of it at theadvocate.com/columnists/pambordelon. Big Buddy Friday the 13th started off as a stormy day but calmed down just in time for Big Buddy's thank-you luncheon at First United Methodist's Conference Center fêteing participants and sponsors in this year's "Dancing for Big Buddy." It was fun to rehash that magical night as Co-Chairmen Reid Bateman and Terri LeBlanc passed out the commemorative photos and plaques. In keeping with tradition, we all discussed how we might make next year's event even better. Then there was the passing of the baton from Reid to incoming Co-Chairman Ty Hingle, who will work with Terri to make the ninth "Dancing for Big Buddy" the best ever. Stay tuned to Party Line and we'll have the 2015 lineup of Star Dancers as soon as they're announced . BR Links Over the past 20 years, I've had the pleasure of witnessing the special bonds of friendship that bind members of The Links. On June 7, six women were welcomed into the Baton Rouge Chapter in a special ceremony at Juban's Restaurant. Introduced by membership Chairwoman and Vice President Rose Hudson were Sharman Charles, Felecia Jones, Britney Temple, Courtney Humphrey, Shelia Sterling and Erin Monroe Wesley. Leading a toast to welcome them into the fold was immediate past President Brenda Birkett. Kevin Cunningham gave the toast welcoming the new "Connecting Links," aka members' husbands. Yolanda Dixon is president of the Baton Rouge Chapter, The Links Inc. Fellow officers include Helena Cunningham, treasurer; Gwen Hamilton, corresponding secretary; Ernise Singleton, financial secretary; Cheryl Hall-DeRouen, recording secretary; and Natalie Tellis Robertson, parliamentarian.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Michael Olsen of the Outreach Gospel Mission says the breakdown in American families is reflected in the increasing number of teens, single-parent and "street families" showing up on the doorstep of the mission in Harbor these days.
There will always be homeless people, Olsen said. But the dynamics are changing — and he doesn't like what he's seeing.
"Let me give you an example," he said, relating a day five years ago when he went for a jog along the beach of Santa Monica. "I can't run with my glasses, and I saw all these mounds on the beach. I thought they were sea lions. This sheriff's officer said, 'Those are sleeping bags.' They let them stay there until 6 a.m. It was incredible, the number. It's just a response to a nationwide problem."
Olsen has worked at the mission here for three years, and in that time has seen the average face of someone seeking help go from that of a single adult to those of families and teenagers.
"These are not runaways," he said. "Just this morning, we had a request for assistance for a camping space. That's a constant. A parent with children can no longer afford an apartment or a house, so they're camping. And it's not just Curry County; it's nationwide."
Twenty-one students of Brookings-Harbor High School are among those, although most find a place to sleep with friends. Olsen said some of them have left — or were kicked out — of homes where parents are often abusing drugs or are in jail.
The economy isn't helping, according to Oregon Department of Education study from the 2012-2013 school year. The recovery is slow, and many parents who lost their jobs and homes are still struggling to find work. It's compounded by a lack of affordable housing.
In Curry County, it's exacerbated by an unofficial unemployment rate in the low 20 percent. That about 45 employees have been laid off from C&K Market in Brookings, Chetco Pharmacy and Shop-Rite in recent months doesn't help. The repercussions of that are likely yet to be felt.
For those 21 who are able to find a couch on which to sleep or do attend school, Olsen believes there are 11 or so teens who live on the streets.
Families aren't something Olsen's used to dealing with, however.
"I'm not a counselor — I don't pretend to be," he said. "I'm all about shelter, a meal and clothes."
Sometimes, after talking with a person, he can determine where they want to go — Portland or Medford, for example — and help them get there. Sometimes, he has to call state police or highway patrol — depending which state from which the person originated — if they are underage.
The Outreach Gospel Mission can only take in men older than 18, so if a father and his daughter show up on the doorstep, he can only help them find shelter elsewhere. A women's shelter run by the mission can only accommodate five.
But increasingly, he's seeing teens.
Sometimes, Olsen said, the parents have kicked the kid out of the house. Other times, the kid has left — be it in anger, or trying to escape a homelife of abuse, drugs or crime.
"I had a kid tell me that, for a month, the best meal he had was a grilled cheese sandwich," he said. "I said, 'What? On the road?' And he said, no, at home. He went home and his mother pointed to the kitchen and told him to help himself."
He's heard the stories, and common themes include a home in foreclosure, a job lost, a parent in jail and rampant drug use.
"When one member of the family is using, it instantly invites problems," Olsen said. "A large percentage of who we are is who we're raised with. Either the kid gets involved, or he doesn't want to be involved and escapes. It's everywhere."
The Union Gospel Mission for whom Olsen worked in Salem is now feeding 700 people a day, and sheltering 90 women and 230 men every night.
"I can't answer for this community," he added. "In my first six months here, I didn't see one. And since the latter part of 2011 through 2013, there's been a noticeable upswing."
That increase amounts to one or two teens a month.
And now he's seeing more come in with their families — or "families" they've adopted off the streets.
"That's the new dynamic in homelessness," he said. "I saw it in Salem, I saw it in New York, and we're seeing it here."
The increase in family members — even small children and pets — requires Olsen and others to become reporters and inform the authorities when they believe abuse might be going on. In 18 years, he's only done it three times — but he gets a little closer to the phone when he sees someone pull up to the mission with two crying kids in the car.
"I've seen DHS (Department of Human Services) running through the woods, chasing people," he said. "And if you separate those family members for very long …"
The family factor, whether biological or found "gets a lot more violins" — sympathy — from the public, Olsen said.
But it doesn't solve the problem, which he maintains is a broken family. The kids with a two-parent household, whose parents have decent jobs, who are involved in school and sports, don't tend to be among the homeless.
He shakes his head when asked if he thinks the situation will get better.
"I don't know. It'll be interesting to forecast what it'll be like a year from now, much less 10 years from now."

A new money exploit has been discovered in "GTA Online" after "GTA 5" has been updated with 1.13 patch. According to a report from International Business Times on May 31, a fan found a way to switch a insured car from the personal garage with a more expensive vehicle. The glitch requires at least three players who must take some specific glitch.
The aforesaid "GTA 5" 1.13 patch fixes many bugs involving vehicles. Exploiters were finding numerous ways to purchase DLC cars for free in addition to duplicating the automobiles in garages. However, Rockstar North was able to get rid of most of the glitches with the title update, which also added the high life expansion to "GTA Online." A photo of the free DLC from the official Rockstar Games Twitter page is showcased with the image attached near the top of this article.
The development team is also punishing players who get caught using the exploits as well as other hacking methods. The studio has removed in-game cash in the past and recently reset the reputation points of cheaters. Repeat offenders will end up on restricted playlists with other mischievous users. Players who simply earned money and experience by completing the same mission over and over again won't be punished.
Like the other glitches, the aforementioned "GTA Online" exploit regarding car insurance should be fix with a future patch. Rockstar Games already announced plans to add multiplayer heists before the end of the spring season. With summer set to officially begin later this month, the next title update should be coming in the near future.
The addition of heists should renew interests in the multiplayer mode. In the new match type, multiple players team up together for bigger and more complicated robberies similar to the ones found in the single-player campaign. Just like to the previous DLC packs, the new downloadable content should end up being free to the end user.
"GTA Online" already has a big user base as most of the 33 million customers who purchased "GTA 5" have played its multiplayer mode. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games and Rockstar North, also reported that a majority of its digital revenue came from the cash cards purchased from the open-world action-adventure game. The rumored upcoming "GTA 5" releases on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One should also help expand on the user base, giving the company a bigger financial boost.

It started with an idea, "How do we get God back in to public schools?" and blossomed into a two week initiative that helps prepare students and teachers to focus on God while in a spiritually hostile environment. Students and educators flocked to Columbia's Metropolitan Convention Center for the first annual "Back to School Zone" on August 1. The following morning, August 2, they met bright and early at the State House to petition God for prayer in schools. This initiative was put together by Disciples in Education, a non-profit that encourages teachers and students in their public walk with God.
For Christian's, public schools have become a sort of battle ground where their views and beliefs are no longer welcome. At one time God was welcomed in public schools and the day started with prayer in Jesus name; however, over the years, public outcry has made Christian's afraid to acknowledge Him in classrooms. Many Christians have decided to take matters into their own hands and remove their children from public schools, often homeschooling or paying extra for private institutions.
However, Jesus called us to be salt and light on the earth. We who have Christ living in us need to share Him in the world, but we can't do this if we choose not to be part of the world. Instead of running from public education, we should embrace it and season it with the gospel of Christ. That is what Ms. Vanessa Frazier had in mind when she started Disciples in Education and hosted the "Back to School Zone." "The purpose of the event is to promote God in public schools," she said.
"Back to School Zone" was one of the largest back to school events hosted in Columbia thus far. The event was from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and had many Christian and non-Christian vendors in attendance. Representatives from All South Bank and Blue Choice Health were present and some of the sponsors included Walmart, It-ology, Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Rehoboth Baptist Church, Christian Educators Association International, and Harvest Fellowship Church.
The "Back to School Zone" taught kids about book bag safety, offered health and dental screenings, free haircuts and massages, college resources and featured the talents of Richland County Students including dances from the South Carolina Christian Dance Theater. Ms. Frazier explained that her hope is for more churches around Columbia to come together and sponsor a back to school event that is big enough to hold at the Coliseum.
During the school year, Disciples in Education sponsor an after school Bible Study, Christ Teens-Girl Talk and Boy Talk, at Ridgeview High School. The Bible study starts at 4 p.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is served for the middle and high school students who attend.

Tens of millions of Hindu devotees flock to the River Ganges in northern India to bathe in its waters in a religious ritual.
13:34, UK, Sunday 10 February 2013
Millions of devout Hindus have plunged into the waters of India's sacred Ganges River in a religious ritual that they believe will wash away their sins.
Heads of monasteries and ash-smeared naked ascetics led the ritual on Sunday - the most auspicious of six bathing days at the Maha Kumbh Mela event.
By the end of the day, as many as 30 million devotees were expected to have taken a dip at an area called Sangam - where the rivers Ganges and Yamuna and a third mystical waterway called the Saraswati meet.
Despite the hardships of waking early, plunging into the freezing and heavily polluted water and the crush of the crowds, pilgrims described being spiritually uplifted and amazed by the scale of the event.
Swapna Bhatia, an interior designer from New Delhi, said it was "simply an out of the world experience".
According to Hindu mythology, the event celebrates the victory of gods over demons in a furious battle over nectar that would give them immortality.
As one of the gods fled with a pitcher of the nectar across the skies, it spilled on the four Indian towns which host the festival - Allahabad, Nasik, Ujjain and Haridwar.
The "Mother Ganges" is worshipped as a god and is seen as the giver and taker of life.
"One dip in the river has the power to change life forever," said 65-year-old Malti Devi from London, who was taking part in the festivities for the first time.
Most devotees dunk their heads under the water, some drink it and others bottle it and take it home as gifts.
The religious festival, which began last month and ends in March, takes place every 12 years in Allahabad, in northern India.
Smaller, similar events are held every three years in other locations around India.

Motorola Milestone / Droid dubbed QRTY in Korea, Froyo not included yet
Since Android 2.2 Froyo is out (and the Google Nexus One already has it), you'd think that all high-end Android smartphones launched starting now would come with it. Sadly, that's not the case.
Motorola Milestone / Droid (i.e. the old Milestone, not the new XT720) has just been introduced in South Korea running Android 2.1 and bearing an odd name: Moto QRTY.
The QRTY is not really different form the Milestone / Droid available in other parts of the world, although it does have a keyboard with Korean characters.
We've recently heard that, in the US, the Droid should be updated to Froyo later this month, so the European Milestone and this brand new QRTY might also get the latest version of Android pretty soon. Until then, if you're in South Korea, you can buy the Motorola QRTY through SK Telecom – which also sells the Motoroi.
Via Press release, more details (in Korean) here

NASCAR issued a new rule early Friday that bans its drivers from exiting a racecar during a race unless "extenuating emergency conditions exist with the racecar (i.e. fire, smoke in cockpit, etc.). The new rule comes less than a week after an on-track incident and a non-NASCAR sanctioned event at Canandiagua Motorsports Park in upstate New York. The incident involved three time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart and resulted in the death of 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr.. The incident involved three time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart and resulted in the death of 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr.. Ward exited his racecar after contact with Stewart the previous lap. Stewart's car struck and killed Ward.
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition and racing development, said Friday the rule is "part of the evolution of NASCAR's rules and regulations."
"Throughout the history of our sport, NASCAR has reviewed and analyzed situations and occurrences that take place not just in NASCAR racing but also throughout all motorsports and other sports," said Pemberton. "When we believe we can do something to make our sport safer and better for the competitors and others involved in the competition environment, we react quickly. Safety always has been priority number one at NASCAR."
The rule, listed as Section 9-16, will be an addendum to the NASCAR rule book and will apply to all of its racing series, effective immediately:
Section 9-16 On-Track Incident Procedure
During an Event, if a racecar is involved in an on-track incident and/or is stopped on or near the racing surface and unable to continue to make forward progress, unless extenuating emergency conditions exist with the racecar (i.e. fire, smoke in cockpit, etc.) the driver should take the following steps:
• Shut off electrical power and, if driver is uninjured, lower window net
• Do not loosen, disconnect or remove any driver personal safety equipment until directed to do so by safety personnel or a NASCAR/Track Official
• After being directed to exit the racecar, the driver should proceed to either the ambulance, other vehicle, or as otherwise directed by safety personnel or a NASCAR/Track Official
• At no time should a driver or crew member(s) approach any portion of the racing surface or apron
• At no time should a driver or crew member(s) approach another moving vehicle
All vehicles not involved in the incident or that are able to continue afterwards should slow down to a cautious speed as outlined in Section 10-4 (Yellow Flag), use extreme care as they approach an incident scene, and follow any directions given by safety personnel or NASCAR/Track Officials. Cars in line behind the safety car should not weave or otherwise stray from the line in the vicinity of the incident.
Late Thursday the Stewart-Haas Racing team announced that Stewart will sit out this week's race at Michigan International Raceway. Veteran driver Jeff Burton will race the No. 14 Chevy. The team said the driver change is only in effect for Michigan.

This is my last bit of advice concerning moving with pets. I've done it…I've analyzed it, and I've beat it to death and will end it here. Be sure to read my other posts on moving and pets. I had a bit of a steep learning curve, as my first big move with pets was by plane and overseas, but I am happy to say we all made it okay and in one piece.
Here are…hopefully…my final thoughts:
- If you are moving overseas and need a valid 10 day pet health certificate, I encourage you to use a military vet. Not only is the check-up and paperwork free, but military vets are more familiar with the procedures. I think ours mentioned something about our paperwork having to go thru the USDA or some other entity, and if we use a civilian vet, we'd have to fax paperwork, and my husband immediately said…those are too many moving parts. A friend of ours was missing one signature on her paperwork and ended up having to leave her dogs at Frankfurt International Airport for EIGHT hours (and having to pay kennel costs), while she tried to figure it all out.
- Use piddle pads inside the bottom of the crate. I know your doggie is a good doggie, so is mine. But you know how Murphy can strike whenever you least expect it. I had one friend whose dog got really sick, and luckily the pad absorbed most of it. Another, the dog got stuck in the crate on the tarmac because of delays and just couldn't hold it anymore. Newspapers just don't cut it…do your pet a favor and just put the piddle pad (puppy training pads) underneath your pet's regular bed or mat.
- If you are flying, pick the shortest flight route. We drove from Florida to Virginia, visited relatives there, dropped of our van to be shipped through Baltimore and flew out of Dulles. This gave us a direct flight to Frankfurt, Germany. You want to avoid any flights where you have to change planes. More chance for things to go wrong, and your pets to be stuck on the hot….or cold…tarmac and potentially left behind or put on the wrong plane. Less moving parts again my husband would say.
- Check airlines pet flying policies and prices. Even though the military arranges your flight, if you are going overseas, check beforehand, which airport is closest to your destination and which airlines are most pet friendly. Consistently, I heard plugs for United and Lufthansa. We flew United in the middle of a hot summer and the pets were fine, because all of United's planes are temperature controlled. Many of the others are not and have restrictions on when you can fly pets. Also check those prices. A friend was charged what must've been the cargo freight fee for her two medium sized dogs…yep, over $2,000. We were only charged $310 for a cat and a large 100 lb dog (with a 50 lb grande size kennel). That broke down into the cat flying for $105 and the dog for $205 one way.
- Visit the airline's pet travel webpage. Each airline has a page…or group of pages on their requirements for pet air travel. If you can't find it in writing, then ask about it. For example, I called the airline to make sure this super giant dogcrate would fit on the plane. The reservationist was actually able to look up the airplane type and what size crates would fit. Not all planes fit all size crates, and if you are stuck on a plane that is too small, you risk the chance of having to ship your pet air freight which equals $$$$$$…..or leaving your pet behind.
- Make sure your pet's travel information is in your PNR. As soon as you get your reservation, call the airline and make sure your pets and what crate models you have, are noted in your record. Planes can only take a certain number of pets per plane, and you don't want any mistakes on crate sizes vs plane cargo hold space. Most airlines only allow two pets per passenger cabin (more in the cargo hold), so make sure that is noted as well if that's what you plan to do. I knew someone who showed up at the airport and was denied boarding her pet because two other passengers had their pets noted in their records. Because of some kind of oversight, her kitty was not. This brings me to my next point.
- Have back up arrangements for your pet.Things can go wrong at the airport or with your family or with your schedule. I knew someone who last year had a dog and crate who were five pounds over the limit, and they would not allow the dog to board. She was also traveling with a little dog and four kids! Since she had planned ahead, she was able to give the dog to a friend…who was helping them at the airport at check in…and made arrangements for her to ship the dog at a later date…after he was put on a little diet.
- Put something in the crate that smells like you. In the week before we moved, I put a washcloth for each pet on our pillows. Right before we flew, they each got one. I honestly think this had a calming effect on both of them. When I first saw the cat, he had it burrowed all around him.
- If you have a litter box trained cat, plan for your sponsor or someone on the receiving end to have a litterbox and litter ready for you. My husband didn't…think he was too embarrassed. We got to Frankfurt airport, and the poor cat refused to go to the bathroom at the airport on a plot of grass or at our first highway rest stop. Of course, the dog had no issues with this. After a three hour drive to our destination, my husband had to run and buy the goods, brought the stuff to the hotel and the cat….it was truly a sight to see…jumped in there and must've scratched for a full minute, eyes wide, meowing to no end….before finally going….poor thing. I don't think he's ever not gone in a litterbox and probably never will!
- Tape a cheap leash and a photo of your pet to the top of its crate.You never know when there might be delays and a sympathetic airline employee might take out your pet. Also, if your pet somehow escapes, they will at least know what he looks like.
- Tape a ziploc bag of one food portion to the top of the crate. I chose not to feed my pets…so they wouldn't have to go to the bathroom. They won't totally starve by missing one meal. But let's say there are major delays. You don't want your pets going too long without food.Do you have any tips to share?

Mistaking Islamism for Islam
Too many who oppose fanaticism end up supporting the Islamist view that Muslims cannot be moderate, write Fred Litwin and Salim Mansur.
By Fred Litwin and Salim Mansur, Ottawa January 28, 2013
Unfortunately, there are non-Muslim organizations in the West that believe they are opposing Islamists but who have misguidedly turned to making all Muslims and Islam their enemies.
We are daily inundated with news of horrors from the Arab-Muslim world to the extent that for many in the West Islam as a venerable faith-tradition can no longer be distinguished from the organized terror and violence of radical Muslims, or Islamists.
There is something gone terribly wrong in the world of Islam, and setting aside political correctness there is the urgent need to publicly identify and discuss the evil of Islamism masquerading as a religion.
But what is this ideology, Islamism, for which we must not make any allowance, as we would not for Nazism?
From leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Arab countries, the Iran of Khomeini, fundamentalist parties in Pakistan, and affiliated groups — Hamas, Hezbollah, the al-Qaida network, al-Shabaab and the Taliban — we hear their politics is the genuine expression of Islam as practised by "Salafis" or the first generation of Muslims in seventh-century Arabia. In this view Muslims who disagree with Islamists are heretics or, even worse, apostates deserving to be killed.
Islamism must be fought against by Muslims and non-Muslims together.
Unfortunately, there are non-Muslim organizations in the West believing they are opposing Islamists but who have misguidedly turned to making all Muslims and Islam their enemies.
One such group is the English Defence League (EDL), founded in 2009, devoted to fighting the "Islamization" of Britain. But by failing to distinguish between Islamists and non- or anti-Islamist Muslims, EDL's activism has inflamed community relations, while being counter-productive in actually helping ordinary Muslims resist Islamists in their midst.
Another person in this anti-Islamist struggle is Gavin Boby, a British lawyer, and his Law and Freedom Foundation. Boby's organization is linked to the EDL and it goes about encouraging communities stop mosque construction by using existing zoning laws in municipalities across Britain. He will be in Canada for a speaking tour in early February.
On the surface, the efforts of these anti-Islamist organizations appear courageous, even noble. But they end up ironically supporting the Islamist view there is no Islam other than what Islamists insist it is.
When anti-Islamist Muslims are denied the space and legitimacy to oppose Islamism then the inescapable paradox is that non-Muslim opponents of Islamists have conceded the Islamist propaganda that Islamists are Islam's only legitimate representatives. It then becomes easier for mainstream politicians and their allies in the West to appease and accommodate Islamists as once their predecessors sought to placate Communists.
Hence, our concern is with those in Canada foolishly or mistakenly inviting Gavin Boby, or EDL members, to build support for anti-Islamist activism.
We confront a hugely important struggle against Islamists. We cannot afford to get this wrong.
Fred Litwin is president of the Free Thinking Film Society and Salim Mansur is the author of Delectable Lie: A Liberal Repudiation of Multiculturalism.

Why are Fred Litwin and Salim Mansur afraid of Gavin Boby?
Any Muslim in a country facilitates Islamism. They all know enough to keep their mouths shut when the Islamists take over, even if they don't particularly like the idea themselves. And anyway, Shariah puts all Muslims as top dog over the infidel, so why WOULD they complain about it?
Don't worry about "making all Muslims your enemy". They are all our enemies in the end, anyway.
I simply cannot understand Litwin's interest in this. And he has a "Free thinking" society?! He was supposed to protect freedom of choice, speech, expression.
I guess he and Mansur have a very limited definition of free thinking, i.e. anything that fits my own thinking frame.
Mansur is a peculiar character: he is a "hero" of "free speech" in Canada, and he is protected as whatever he says about Islam and Muslims will have zero consequences as he is a Muslim. Anyone else who says what he says is automatically called names.
This is not a free speech issue. I have not done anything to stop Gavin Boby from speaking in the slightest. It was definately a mistake to invite him, and hence our article (which has very little on Boby since our main interest is on Islamism vs. Islam), but I don't have the slightest interest in stopping him from speaking.
We would like to thank you for your comment.
"Hence, our concern is with those in Canada foolishly or mistakenly inviting Gavin Boby, or EDL members, to build support for anti-Islamist activism."
"Foolishly" and "mistakenly" are words of your choice, making a strong and clear statement.
We are glad to hear that you have no interest in stopping Boby, but Act! for Canada & co. have gotten another message.
You are a well respected public figure who has proven openess,courage and a sense of responsibility. You defend free thinking, consequently, free speech.
We truly hope that you remain the same.
In my opinion, both Fred Litwin and Salim Mansur are off their rockers for trying desperately, and failing, to convince Non-Muslims that there is a huge percentage of the followers of the Quran who are unlike the "small" percentage who should be labelled as misunderstanders of islam.
Pooh and double pooh !!
We are smarter than that and know by now that there is actually a very small percentage of Muslims who are secular, so small they are almost invisible.
I would like to see some of the "moderates" rallying with us against the Islamization of Canada.
Religion is taking way too much space in our daily lives. If you are religious, shut up and pray in your room.
And, if I have something to say about your religion, THAT IS MY RIGHT.
If you don't like it, take a cold shower.
I am sick and tired of walking on eggshells when it comes to Muslims, Sikhs and Jews. I hope that the Hindus will be more open-minded if, one day, someone will say that some Hindu gods look scary. Or a simply ugly to look at.
I have the right to say what I want about any religion, including mine.
We keep saying that we are secular when, in fact, our society is heading towards a theocracy.
A society in which making fun, criticizing or disliking religion is a crime, that is NOT a secular society.
We have too much power to all these religious groups.
As long as there is no incitment to violence against a religious group, I have the right to call them as I wish.
Since many Muslims call us "pigs", should I call them… "camels" or "desert vessels"?
Name exchange may be regarded as inelegant, but it is not a crime.
As for the dispute between Islam & Islamism… it has no meaning.
Islamism is a religion, like Judaism, Buddhism or Hinduism. They all end in "-ism" (Greek/Latin). That was the first term used to refer to Mohammedans. "Islam" is a term coined around early 1900 (1930's).
The rest is a messy story.
Does anyone think that Mansur would side with us against Muslims, if such situation ever occured?
Calling terrorists "less Muslims and Islamic" than "moderates" are, is nothing but laughable.
Trying to make an ideological difference between these two terms is childish and futile.

While Facebook shuttered its virtual gift shop of beer mug and birthday cake icons on August 1, 2010, another social media darling is now open for business. Foursquare — a location-based, smart phone game that helps you connect with friends, new places and even discounts — announced its online store opening today.
And you're just not buying Facebook pixel-based presents at this new store. On foursquare, you truly must earn that digital Zoetrope badge by checking into 10 movie theaters on 10 different days. (Hey, it only took me six months.) At the foursquare Online Store, choose from tee shirts, buttons and stickers to give to your foursquare fan.
My favorite tee ($20) touts a key competitive element of the game: the foursquare mayor. Foursquare players use their smart phone to check-in to their current location. The player with the most number of days of check-ins over the last 60 days becomes the foursquare mayor of that place.
That is, until someone bests your daily visits to that store, restaurant or watering hole, dethroning you as mayor. Perhaps the foursquare Online Store should sell a consolation gift tee shirt for us previously ousted mayors. Maybe something like this…
