Since London Fashion Week has just wrapped up, I couldn't resist a quick BTS video of Burberry's Creative Director, Wendy Rowe giving us a run-down on this season's look, which is a lived-in smoky eye. So up my alley!
Since London Fashion Week has just wrapped up, I couldn't resist a quick BTS video of Burberry's Creative Director, Wendy Rowe giving us a run-down on this season's look, which is a lived-in smoky eye. So up my alley!
Just when you thought you couldn't POSSIBLY need another black eyeliner product in your handbag, along comes Burberry's new eyeliner pens to change your mind. Burberry have to have one of the best marketing strategies I've ever seen – their ads and campaigns are always beautiful, always on brand and feature gorgeous English models, like this one with Suki Waterhouse who is the perfect modern 60's muse.
It couldn't really be more Burberry if it tried – Kate and Cara sitting on a giant perfume bottle, in classic Burberry trench coats. Despite not being able to appreciate the perfume one iota (due to scrambled olfactory senses after the birth of my son – my sense of smell has never gone back to normal, such a bummer), I can still appreciate two British supermodels being gorgeous as it rains perfume. Sigh. If only life were like that.
In fact stuff the supermodels and the perfumed rain, I'd settle for one of those Burberry trench coats.
So the Burberry woman doesn't vary that much from season to season – she's always polished, English, and quintessentially cool with the expert hands of makeup artist Wendy Rowe and fabulous hairdresser Neil Moodie tweaking her look, but always sticking with the brand DNA.
This season I particularly liked though, as it's inspired by the Bloomsbury literary and artistic movement of last century, and this is the type of eye I think is perfect for the cooler months. It's a gorgeous mix of aubergine and taupey-mauve that works not only for the likes of Burberry girls like Edie Campbell, Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse, but also makes the eye colour of mere mortals pop. The sheer coverage foundation and light enhancing luminsers makes even average civilian skins look good. Here's the Burberry Beauty products Wendy Rowe used:
Jourdan! Edie! Cara! Karlie! I love this behind the scenes video of all of the 'Burberry Girls Model Brigade' getting ready for their turn on the catwalk at Burberry's most recent show. The beauty collection is called 'Trench Kisses' and features new Kajal eye pencils, new lippies and glosses as well as some heavenly nail polish colours (I'm lusting after the polish from the show, appropriately called "Oxblood").
Burberry Beauty Creative Director Wendy Rowe was working her magic on the model's faces and hair maestro and all round lovely, lovely guy Neil Moodie was on hair. Dream Teams were made of this…
OK it's official. Burberry can do no wrong in my eyes. They have new eye quads that are, in a word, divine. Buttery soft, smooth and the colour combinations are just perfection.
It comes housed in a sleek gunmetal case which I am THRILLED to say, is lighter than the single eyeshadows I own. Because if I had one gripe with Burberry Beauty, it was the weight of their beautiful products. For the lady at home carrying a lippy and a blush they would be OK (still heavy, but just about manageable). But if you're a makeup artist and you have a stack of those bad boys you want to carry, it's just death. And then you have to choose which ones to take on a job. And then it's MORE death because they're all so lovely, and you can't choose. And then you have to hack them up with a pallet knife which makes you want to stick the palette knife in your eye because it's so sacrilegious to hack up those gorgeous Burberry eyeshadows to put in teeny plastic cases so you can carry them all. Can you tell I've been there? More than once?
So now the packaging feels lighter, and Burberry have given you not one, but FOUR lovely shades to choose from. I have Mocha, which is rich, yummy golden browns (you know, the browns that are surprising hard to find in other ranges? Yeah, those). There is a cream, a golden brown, a nutmeg/caramel colour and a rich brown that's perfect for lining eyes. These babies can go natural and nothing, or very, very glamorous. What I love about the Burberry shadows is they are matte but they still have a sheen to them, so they don't look flat on the eye.
The eye quads are called the Compete Eye Palette and come in 6 different shade variations, ranging from Plum Pink to Smokey Grey. I for one will be needing more of these new lightweight! Burberry goodies.
And here's a video which has very little to do with Burberry, except it's the Burberry model, Cara Delevigne, rollerskating in an elf hat. Shot by Angelo Pennetta for Love magazine, I thought it was super cute. And it's Christmas, and who doesn't love rollerskating elves at Christmas? Especially ones as pretty as Cara Delevigne.
Let's get naked. Not clothes-wise, lips-wise. I'm all about lips at the moment – I can't tell you how many gorgeous lipsticks and glosses I have received lately, so with your indulgence I will be posting about the best of the bunch over the next few weeks.
I was starting to get pretty bored with my nudes palette – not that it isn't chock-full of classic nudes, creams and beiges and it has given me many good miles of service, but sometimes you just need something new in the mix to stop you poking the model in the eye from boredom. Enter my new naked lippy love, which is Burberry's delicious Lip Cover in 01. It's a beautiful creamy beige peach nude that has a very slight silvery reflective sheen to it, so it helps to stop the lip from looking too flat (a problem with some nudes).
But then! (And this is where it gets really interesting), I'm now slathering Sisley's new Phyto Gloss in 1 on top. This is the perfect biscuity hi-shine gloss that instantly takes a look into the realms of luxury. A good nude gloss can be hard to find as many of them are too pale, and pale, goopy beige gloss is never a good look. This one has enough density and pigment to make it chic and not Kardashian.
I do need to put a disclaimer however – obviously nude lips need to be based on what is nude for your skintone. What is one woman's Claudia Schiffer Guess bombshell lip is another woman's Corpse Bride, so always try before you buy. And nude lips are best with a hint of cheek and something delicious on the eye – either full –on smoky or at least some black, brown or grey liner and mascara for definition. Otherwise you will look like the Woman With No Features.
So channel your inner Brigitte Bardot and get naked.
Makeup by Wendy Rowe
The Burberry show is always a stand-out on the MM show calendar. The clothes are amazing, the front-row celebs are always swoon-worthy (and look like a million bucks, decked out in Burberry clothes AND beauty), and the hair and makeup – by Neil Moodie and Wendy Rowe respectively – is always gorgeous. Easy, modern glamour that never looks contrived.
This season Wendy Rowe went for a beautiful red lip, courtesy of the new Lip Velvet lipstick in Siren Red, that's launching later this year (and if it's anything like the new Velvet foundation this is definitely going to be a product worth checking out).

So you would think that with two full palettes of nude lipsticks, that would be enough. I thought so – or I've been trying to think so as I've been trying to use the products I have instead of madly cruising for new ones (a girl can, unfortunately, only carry so much makeup). However! Now I've found the new Burberry Lip Mists, and all bets are off.
When one thinks of Burberry, one thinks of trenchcoats, London, and Rosie Huntington Whiteley (well I do anyway). The Burberry makeup range won't dress you or take you to London but it may take you that little bit closer to Rosie's look – OK, well some of the way anyway. They do some of the best nude lipsticks I've ever found. Lots of nude lipsticks actually make you look dead, by stripping too much colour out of the lips, which can be great to pair with a strong smokey eye but quite frankly, is just not that flattering on most people. What works better is something that enhances the pigment you have in your lips, which is why the Burberry lippies are so great. There is a plethora of natural shades to choose from, so you can find something that makes you look gorgeous, instead of Night of the Living Dead nude.
I am loving the Lip Mist in 213 Field Rose right now, as it IS the colour of my natural lips, but kicked up, ooh maybe half a notch. It's quite creamy and not too sheer so it sort of fills in the edges and makes my lips look fuller and well, dare I say it, a little bit pouty. Not quite Rosie territory but getting there. I do love a lip product that you can just whack on without thinking about, and this is one of those – effortless gorgeousness.
Burberry Beauty is available from selected David Jones' stores in Australia.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Andre Miller's assists weren't helping the Cleveland Cavaliers get better. So they swapped one potential NBA star for another.
And got a movie star, too.
Miller, the league's assists leader last season, was dealt by the Cavs along with guard Bryant Stith to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday for forwards Darius Miles and Harold Jamison.
Parting with Miller -- easily their best player -- was a difficult decision for the Cavs, who have lost at least 50 games in each of the point guard's three seasons.
But it was made easier with the addition of Miles, a multitalented 20-year-old player who in two seasons has become one of the league's most recognizable youngsters and rising stars.
"Darius is the player we coveted," Cleveland general manager Jim Paxson said. "He's 20, 6-foot-9 and athletic. He's got a chance to be an All-Star player."
He's already got star quality.
Miles didn't attend the news conference to announce the trade because he was on a film set in Vancouver. He has a small role in a movie entitled, "The Perfect Score."
Already, Miles is unlike any player on the Cavaliers roster.
"How many guys get asked to do movies?" Paxson said. "Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) does, and he's pretty good."
After failing to finalize a deal on draft day last month, the teams renewed talks about 10 days ago, Paxson said. They finally reached an agreement to swap Miller and Miles on Monday.
Paxson said six other teams showed interest in the 26-year-old Miller, but the Clippers were the most persistent.
Elgin Baylor, the Clippers' vice president of basketball operations, was excited about getting Miller but said it was difficult to trade a player with Miles' potential.
"The one thing that makes this both easier and exciting is a situation like this when you are getting a proven player in return who has established himself as one of the top five point guards in the NBA," Baylor said.

HP Slate 7 Review
HP's first go-around with a tablet didn't actually go so well. The webOS-based TouchPad didn't last long and was quickly discontinued. However, the company is back with another slate, only this time it's running the more widely-adopted Android operating system, and it seems as though HP wants to give tablets another whack with its first-ever Android tablet, the Slate 7. We took a peek at it during CES 2013 back in January, and it's a metal-infested 7-incher that looks to take on Google's Nexus 7 with a relatively stock user interface in a clean and simple package. Let's see how it fares.

The failure to negotiate first contracts: Determinants and policy implications
This study examines why unions, after winning certification rights, fail to secure agreements in roughly one of every four first-contract negotiations. Hypotheses are derived from Chamberlain's theory that the relative power of the negotiating parties is a function of the costs of agreeing and disagreeing, costs that are shaped by economic, legal, and organizational factors. The author analyzes data through 1982 on 118 cases in which unions had won NLRB elections in Indiana in the years 1979 and 1980. He finds that an employer's discrimination against union activists and his refusal to bargain, measured by section 8(a)(3) and 8(a)(5) charges deemed meritorious by the regional office of the NLRB, have substantial negative effects on the probability that a first contract will be reached. Similarly, negative effects result from lengthy delay in the NLRB's resolution of employer objections and challenges to lost elections. On the other hand, unions are also more likely to obtain first contracts when firms pay wages well above the industry average, when national union representatives participate in negotiations, and when bargaining units are relatively large and cohesive.

West Elm Announces Small Business Grant Contest For U.S. Makers
Monday August 11th, 2014 - 9:38AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
West Elm announced today the launch of a four-month long contest called the We Love Local Small Business Grant contest. According to the company, winners will be judged based on design, originality, story, commitment to local production and depth of product assortment.
Designed to support U.S.-based artists, makers and designers as they grow and scale their businesses, the Small Business Grant contest will launch August 12 with open online submissions. On August 16th, West Elm will host in-store portfolio reviews in five stores across the country and on September 30th, the brand will introduce 20 finalists and commence online public voting. The winner will be announced on November 19th and will receive $25,000, business support, and mentorship from the West Elm team, as well as a chance to be included in the Best of Local Assortment available on the brand's website. Three runner-ups will also have a chance to be included in the assortment.
"We are at the height of a maker revolution in the United States," Jim Brett, West Elm president said. "Every time I visit our stores and meet artists and makers in our communities, I'm blown away by the small-scale manufacturing and design that's happening in our own backyards."
"West Elm is committed to supporting emerging artists and makers around the world," Brett continued. "But this Small Business Grant is focused on helping micro-entrepreneurs in the U.S. We want to give back to the communities where our stores are located and where we're doing business every day."
Mo Mullen, senior manager of business development and West Elm Local noted that the company plans to provide mentorship to the winner on everything from manufacturing, financial plans, marketing and more.
The contest is a part of the company's overall Local initiative, which brings regionalized assortments to stores across the country. West Elm Local currently includes more than 1,000 products from more than 160 artists and makers. The company announced that it will launch the Best of Local assortment on its website with 20 of the best-selling makers and more than 60 products.

Yup, another Girlpool track. You don't often hear voices in unison singing the same notes, unless it's a massive singalong. But I love how the women in Girlpool use this to great effect: it's a song about the loss of love—friendship? Something more?—and the voices weave in and out, usually settling on the same notes and words, creating a united front for the good of companionship.
You can find Before The World Was Big in all the usual places, but why not buy it right from the band's label?

IE10's Browser Mode setting under Developer Tools seemed to be extremely useful. I cannot find it in IE 11. Does the option still exist? If so, where?
It's gone. There's an underwhelming Emulation tab, but the ability to emulate old IE versions has been removed.
As this page states, "If you need to test webpages in older versions of IE, check out Modern.ie for testing tools, including virtual machines that run older versions of IE in appropriate versions of Windows."
In the latest update to Windows 8.1 the IE 11 F12 developer tools you can set the document mode to; 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 or Edge (11) mode from the emulator tool. The feature wasn't in earlier builds.
For some users (such as myself - lucky me) the Browser Mode and the User agent string dropdowns are both blank. This is really annoying as I do need to constantly test in various modes (I do developer support so this is crucial to me.
Thus far, the best answer I could find was on answers.microsoft.com ... the suggestion there was to create a new user profile... Others said that worked but in my opinion, this is as much overkill amputating your leg to address an ingrowing toenail.
I just wanted to throw this out there in case others find this post (as I did) while looking for the answer to why is this blank)
It has gone (at least, gone for now). In the future they may bring it back but until then, you have 2 options
This can be done via a registry hack as shown here (as per comments in OP by eug1111)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Also, Microsoft Expression 4 SuperPreview supports IE 6 - 9 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2445851?Browser=Internet+Explorer&Version=11)

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are retired and enjoy going out for a nice dinner occasionally. We go to chain restaurants, hotel restaurants and local dinner establishments. We order lighter meals than we used to, and with the cost of dinners these days we have been finishing our entire meal.
Our problem is that again and again, our server makes a comment about our finished plates. It might be, "You were really hungry, I see!" or, "Wow! You really enjoyed that!" It is uncomfortable to hear these comments about our eating habits and it spoils our enjoyment.
This may be an attempt on their part to be friendly, but we don't like it. How do we let them know this is crossing the boundaries of professional behavior? — EMBARRASSED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.
DEAR EMBARRASSED: I hope you realize that for many people this would not be a problem. You needn't be confrontational — all you need to calmly say is, "When you say that, it makes me uncomfortable, so please don't do it again." No servers want to offend a guest, and they are not mind readers. However, they are all aware that their tips depend on how their service is regarded by customers — so I'm sure your comment will be taken to heart.
DEAR ABBY: Is it possible for a man to be in love with two women at the same time? — NAME WITHHELD IN VIRGINIA
DEAR NAME WITHHELD: Yes, I think so — and it is usually for different reasons. The same holds true for women. However, for a lasting relationship, people have to choose the one partner who has more of the qualities they think are most important.

Mobile home park faces foreclosureMay 15,2013BENNINGTON A Bennington mobile home park that has been under pressure from the town and the state of Vermont to fix problems with its water supply is now facing a foreclosure complaint.
The complaint against John Bushee Jr., owner of Sunset Farm Mobile Home Park, was filed April 30 in Bennington civil court by an attorney for Peoples United Bank.
The Bennington Banner reported the complaint said real estate taxes and a promissory note havent been paid, putting Bushee in default. The original promissory note was for $120,000.
Bennington records say the park owes $31,839 in property taxes, including interest and penalties, going back to 2008.
Lawyers in the case have declined to comment.
Last year the Town of Bennington reached an agreement with Bushee to fix a problem with the water system that supplies the park. The agreement calls for Bushee to install a new filtration system. He needs a permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division for the system, but as of late last month it had not been granted.MORE IN This Just In

Dodgers' Ace Kershaw Notches His First No-Hitter
The no-hitters just keep coming. That's the case for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the team's pitchers have thrown two games without giving up a hit in less than a month. Clayton Kershaw used 15 strikeouts to complete the feat Wednesday, matching teammate Josh Beckett's May 25 effort.
Getting the no-hitter was "pretty cool," Kershaw said after throwing 107 pitches in the game.
The Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies, 8-0, in a game that saw Kershaw's no-hitter preserved when a play in which a Rockies runner reached first base was ruled to be a throwing error on Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez rather than a hit.
A two-time Cy Young Award winner, Kershaw set a personal best with the 15 strikeouts. The Los Angeles Times puts that in perspective:
"Never in major league history had a pitcher given up neither a hit nor a walk while striking out 15. The only pitcher with more strikeouts in a no-hitter: Nolan Ryan, the all-time strikeout leader."
The newspaper adds that as Kershaw gave his postgame interview in front of the hometown crowd in L.A., his teammates lined up in the dugout to hear him speak.
"I am so amazed," the pitcher said. "Beckett told me he was going to teach me how to do that, so I have Josh to thank."

Greek Squash Pita (Savoury)
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 1 hr
This ia another pita (pie) recipe using pumpkin (or any squash - zucchini is great!) as a filling. For all familiar with spanakopita, please try this variation for something satisfyingly different.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs pumpkin or 2 lbs squash or 2 lbs zucchini, grated
- 1 medium red onion, minced
- 2 spring onions, minced
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1⁄2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 lb phyllo pastry (or filo)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 4 ounces butter, melted (approximately)
- Put the grated pumpkin in a colander (sieve) and toss with 2 tsps salt.
- Allow to drain for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, squeeze pumpkin between hands to remove extra water.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add pumpkin and onion.
- Saute gently for 8-10 minutes to evaporate more liquid.
- Remove from heat, let cool 5 minutes and stir in cheese, parsley, dill, breadcrumbs, milk, some pepper and the eggs.
- Combine this mixture well.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Get a 13 X 9 inch pan and brush with some melted butter.
- Start layering the phyllo pastry in the pan, brushing each layer with butter before adding the next.
- Use up 1/2 the phyllo+ 2 extra sheets.
- Spoon the pumpkin filling into the prepared pan and turn any overhanging phyllo inwards, over the filling.
- Layer the remaining phyllo sheets neatly on top, buttering each before adding the next.
- Butter the last sheet VERY generously.
- Cut away any overhang and, with the tip of a small, sharp knife, cut gently through the top layers of pastry, lengthwise, into 3 strips.
- Be careful not to cut all the way down through the pastry, you just want to pierce the top few layers.
- Cut through the pastry in the width too, creating the pieces that will eventually be served when the pie is baked.
- Bake pie for approximately 1 hour, until a lovely golden-brown colour.

I followed Sernarama's suggestion for individual turnovers because I needed an appetizer recipe using squash to bring to a party-Many people won't touch squash if you dared them, but because these were individual turnovers-they popped them in thier mouths and were pleasantly suprised! "I can't believe this is squash-I usually hate squash" was the most common comment. They were the suprise hit of the night
I went on a Greek rampage this week. I made this in individual turnovers to wow my family with something different. The grating was quite labor intensive, I think next time, if I have the time I will try baking it, then scraping. At any rate, it was a huge hit. I served it with Mama's Moussaka one night. I froze half a batch and served them another night with spankorizo for a great meatless dinner!! Fantastic recipe!

When completing the above form it will automatically be sent to the dog warden who operate Monday to Friday 9:00 - 16:00 (excluding Bank Holidays), who will attempt to respond the same day.
Please Note: Alternative arrangements are in place over the weekend and outside office hours, for stray dogs please call 07500 553000 (please do not text) for further advice or if the matter relates to a dangerous dog please contact the Police on 999 in an emergency or 101 for less urgent enquiries.
We deal with issues such as:
- Dog-related issues, stray dogs, dog fouling, irresponsible dog ownership (RSPCA deal with dog cruelty issues)
- Keeping, movement, and sales of pets and commercially traded animals, including livestock
- Enforcing legislation relating to animals
- Licensing animal related establishments
If you wish to make an application to gain a licence for an animal related establishment please visit our Animal Licensing page. It is against the law to run an animal related establishment without a valid licence/certificate.
Please note: We do not deal with enquiries relating to cats, or dog cruelty. Cases of injured stray cats or dog cruelty should be referred to the RSPCA.
For information on keeping chickens on allotment sites please see the husbandry conditions and supplementary notes.
- Stray/lost/found and stolen dogs
Any dog that is not with its owner may be seized as a stray by a dog warden, and, unless badly injured, will be taken to Birmingham Dogs Home. Stray dogs are kept as lost property for 7 days, unless claimed. Any owner wishing to claim their dog will be required to pay a fee of £25.00 plus kennelling costs (charged on a daily basis) to Birmingham Dogs Home. Those dogs not claimed by their owners will, if suitable, be re-homed.
If a dog is wearing a collar and identification tag or is microchipped, the dog wardens will try to return the dog to its owner, however a standard charge will apply. If a dog is seized on more than one occasion, then further and additional charges will be made and/or the dog will be impounded.
We can only deal with cases of injured stray dogs during office hours. At all other times you should report these cases directly to the RSPCA.
Lost and Stolen dogs
If you have lost your dog, you should contact the following organisations giving as detailed a description as possible. It is important to note that many stolen dogs can end up as strays, some weeks or even months later.
Stray dogs can travel some distance. They can then be picked up by a member of the public and taken to their nearest authority, which might not be in the area where the dog originally went missing.
Local Police Station
Dog theft is a crime and should be reported to the Police, although the Police will not take details of lost dogs. Please call 0345 113 5000.
Birmingham Dogs Home(s)All stray dogs in Birmingham are taken to Birmingham Dogs Home. You should visit the home if your dog has gone missing. Descriptions of dogs can sometimes be misleading so a personal visit is advisable, when you will be able to instantly recognise your dog. Please call Birmingham Dogs Home on 0121 643 5211.
RSPCA Hospital - Birmingham
The RSPCA would normally take in injured stray dogs. Please call the RSPCA Birmingham Animal Hospital on 0300 1238585.
Other- alternative options
You might also consider contacting local vets or animal rescue groups. Putting up posters in your local shop window or leafleting the local area has also proved successful with some dog owners in the past.
- Dangerous dogs
If you would like to report a dangerous dog, please press the 'report a lost, stray, missing and dangerous dog' button above.
In an emergency for instance, if you witness a member of the public being bitten by a dog, contact the West Midlands Police immediately on 999.
Please note: when reporting a dangerous dog please provide as much detail of the dog owner, the location of the dog and why you think it is dangerous.
- Animal Welfare: Livestock
We are responsible for the prevention and control of farm animal diseases (for instance: bird flu, foot and mouth disease), and for regulatory controls on the keeping and movement of livestock. We visit commercial farms, private keepers, and community farms to ensure compliance.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs may impose further movement restrictions.
- Dog Fouling
The Fouling of Land by Dogs Order 2014 requires any person in charge of a dog which fouls on designated land, to remove the dog mess immediately. Any land to which the public have access in Birmingham is designated. Offenders can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice (£80).
If you are issued with a fixed penalty notice this will include details, where and how payment of the fine can be made. Failure to pay will result in prosecution and, if the matter goes to court, may result in a fine of up to £1,000.
The dog wardens affix appropriate signs to lamp posts and distribute educational leaflets and posters to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets.
- Responsible dog ownership
Owning a dog involves both responsibilities as well as pleasures. The following basic tips can help prevent your dog from causing a nuisance:
Train your dog in elementary obedience, so that it is under control at all times.
The dog licence was abolished in 1986, but there are a number of schemes available which offer microchipping, tattooing or other means of permanent identification, with details of ownership being placed on a database. Dog owners may wish to choose one of these schemes as additional security, but should be aware that the law still requires every dog to wear a collar with its owners name and address on it, whilst in a public place.
Keep your dog on a lead anywhere near a road or where there are other animals. Make sure your dog has a collar with name and address.
Make sure that your garden is properly fenced so that your dog cannot escape. Never let your dog out on its own, but take it for properly controlled exercise.
Always carry a poop scoop when out with your dog and clean up should your dog foul in any public place. You can also train your dog to 'go at home'. Start when the dog is young, and make sure you have a place your dog can use for toilet purposes (even if you do not have a garden). Remember to clean up droppings on a regular basis and bury it, or put it in a chemical loo. Alternatively double wrap/bag it and put it in the bin.
Do not allow your dog to bark constantly, a well trained dog is not one that barks at everyone and everything. Dogs that are kept outside for long periods often bark more.
Do not leave your dog alone for long periods, dogs are pack animals and need companionship. Remember - you have a duty to care under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Keep your dog healthy, with regular feeding, worming, exercise, grooming and vaccinations. Make sure your dog's living accommodation is clean, warm and dry and that fresh drinking water is always available.
The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 requires all dogs of the breed or type of Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino or Fila Brasileiro to be registered, neutered, microchipped, tattooed and insured. It is an offence to breed, sell, exchange or give away a dog of these breeds and they must have been registered by the end of November 1991. It is not possible to register them now other than by the direction of a Magistrates Court.
Remember dogs live for about 14 years, think hard before you take on the responsibility which comes with dog ownership. If you can no longer keep your dog, contact RSPCA or Birmingham Dogs Home who will be able to give you advice. Do not put your dog out onto the street where it could be injured or even killed.
- I'm having problems with my dog barking all the time – what can I do?
Barking comes naturally to dogs but constant barking can cause a noise nuisance to neighbours. If the nuisance continues you can be taken to court. Dogs are pack animals and need companionship. They regard their owners as a substitute family and can become distressed when left alone, especially for long periods. There are many reasons why your dog may bark:
- loneliness
- boredom
- attention seeking
- guarding
- medical problems
Right from the start, training is extremely important. A well-trained dog should not bark at anything and everything. Good training with affection and companionship should mean that your dog will not develop bad habits.
Tips to try:
Get your dog used to the idea that you are away for different periods of time, at different times of the day. You can start by putting your dog in another room – at first for only a few minutes, then gradually build up the time. Do not return to your dog until he is quiet for a period. Also it is a good idea not to make too much of a fuss of your dog when you leave him as this only highlights the sense of loss when you are gone.
Some dogs bark because they can see things going on outside. If this is the problem try leaving your dog in a part of the house where he cannot see outside.
Some dogs will settle if they can hear a human voice. Leaving a radio switched on at a low volume may help.
If you are not coming back until after dark, leave a light on or set a timer light switch.
Try not to leave your dog for long periods but if you do have to:
- See if someone can call in and let your dog into the garden for a moment.
- Feed and exercise your dog before you leave.
- Make sure his bed is comfortable and leave him his favourite toys.
- Leave fresh water and chews or biscuits.
Dogs that are kept outside do generally bark more. This is probably because they can see and hear all sorts of things (for instance: cats or squirrels) that will make them bark. These dogs may feel more isolated from the family group (their owners). This problem is made worse for the neighbours because the dogs are not inside and, therefore, sound louder.
Make sure your dog has a suitable kennel and try not to place it too near your neighbours' fence.
Try and avoid your dog being able to see to the front of the house as members of the public walking by, especially with dogs, may cause your dog to bark. Whilst many dogs are used to deter intruders a continually barking dog is ineffective.
- I'm going on holiday – can you recommend a good boarding kennels or cattery?
Boarding establishments for cats and/or dogs must be licensed. We cannot recommend specific premises but would urge anyone thinking of boarding their animals to go and visit the kennels or cattery first. It may be worth visiting two or three before making a choice as some may suit the particular needs and temperament of your cat/dog more so than others. You should ensure that your pet is up to date with vaccinations as you will need to show the vaccination certificate to the kennels or cattery upon admission.
- I have found a stray dog, what should I do?
Our dog wardens operate Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm.
Please press the 'report a lost, stray, missing and dangerous dog' button above. We will contact you the next working day, to arrange a time for one of our dog wardens to collect the dog.
If you find a dog after 4 pm or on a weekend or Bank Holiday then please contact the out of hours stray dog kennels on 07500 553000. Please note this number is for out of hours stray dogs only and available until 2300 hours. If you find a dog after this time and if safe to do so please secure the dog until someone contacts you the following morning. You may also wish to contact K9 Search UK, a private animal charity dedicated to reuniting stray dogs with their owners. The organisation keeps details of lost dogs and can be contacted on 07988 433187 or you can visit their website at www.k9searchuk.com/
- I want to keep poultry/chickens; do I need permission to do so?
If you do not own your property, you will need to seek approval from your landlord. Other than that there are no specific restrictions, however all animals must be provided with a suitable environment. Also no animal should be kept in such a way as it causes a nuisance to neighbours because of noise or smell.
For more information please see attachment 'guidelines for keeping poultry on domestic premises' below.

Research Institution:
AbstractEffective monitoring and control of steel manufacturing plants, industrial furnaces, boilers, incinerators, and other combustion systems is limited by the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, speed, and reliability of available sensors. As a result, industrial high-temperature processes release excessive toxic emissions, pollutants, and greenhouse gases and consume excessive energy during operation. This project will develop a novel, robust instrument capable of accurately measuring several critical exhaust emissions in real time, with unprecedented speed and reliability. The instrument will be based on tunable mid-infrared lasers. Open-path absorption diagnostics will be developed to provide unprecedented speed, specificity, and robustness for the monitoring and control of industrial efficiency, unwanted pollutants, and greenhouse gases. In Phase I, the instrument will be demonstrated in a steel manufacturing plant operating under realistic conditions. In Phase II, the system will be deployed for long-term measurements and incorporated into a closed-loop system for real-time process control. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The technology should lead to the development of instrumentation for monitoring combustion emissions (e.g., from power plants, furnaces, boilers, and incinerators); for the monitoring and control of industrial processes; for monitoring atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases; and for automotive engine diagnostics.

Club Scout
Come again? Climax Lounge (2217 Welton Street) has a new booking agent. Josiah Albertsen took over a few weeks ago and says his goal is to return the focus to local bands, by providing a venue for acts that aren't established enough to play larger clubs. And that's not all: He's hoping to improve the club's atmosphere -- starting with the relationship between staff and patrons -- to create a warm, comfortable environment where people will enjoy hanging out. And that's still not all: He's also working to mend the relationship between the venue and NIPP, which got a bit shaky after former booking agent Jason Cotter left and NIPP pulled several shows from Climax, moving them to the Bluebird.
Albertsen is very motivated to bring Climax back to its peak: He saw his first concert at the club at age fourteen and has a special fondness for the place.
One of Denver's biggest goth nights was left temporarily homeless several weeks ago after a fire at the Cherry Pit (60 South Broadway) caused extensive smoke damage to that club. While the Pit is being repaired, Disintegration has moved to the Snake Pit (608 East 13th Avenue). But it hopes to return soon to 60 South Broadway, where it has a long history and has survived several incarnations of the venue.
While Krash Club (1801 Wynkoop Street) was the first to offer this feature, now iPod-ers have another night when they can share their stuff. On June 29 at Herb's Hideout (2057 Larimer Street), patrons can sign up for fifteen- to thirty-minute sets and play whatever is in their iPod or, for more of a challenge, battle head-to-head with DJ K-Pod, the mastermind of the event. K-Pod and a few friends started playing selections from their iPods at Herb's back in March, but this is the first time the fun has been officially open to the public -- and their playlists. If all goes well, the night could become a monthly event.
Both Rise (1909 Blake Street) and La Boheme (1443 Stout Street ) celebrated their second birthdays this month. Two new clubs, both located above strip joints, are also making their debuts. Inferno opened above PT's Showclub at 1601 West Evans Avenue this past weekend; on June 17, Tabu, which bills itself as an "ultra dance lounge," takes over the old Alley Cat space above the Diamond Cabaret (1222 Glenarm Place). Finally, the Iron Feather Book & Zine Shop celebrates its new home at 4931 West 38th Avenue -- right next to Ziggie's -- on June 18, with DJs (including DJ Iron Feather, Hanna-Banana, John Jenkins and more) spinning through the day and the band Touching Morons taking the stage at 4 p.m.

Buffalo needs to find way to honor Donovan
I read with dismay that the reconstructed Donovan State Office Building will not bear the famous Buffalo general's name, but rather it will be known as One Canalside. Gen. William "Wild Bill" Donovan is one of the most highly decorated military men in history. He also was the founder of the CIA. His contributions to our country as a patriot, soldier and citizen should be recognized by naming a federal, state or local office building in his honor.
There was great interest in naming the new Federal Courthouse for him, but it was decided that the honor should go to Justice Robert Jackson, who rightly deserved it.
Naming public buildings is not always easy. However, when a public building is converted to a private one, the memory of the original building's namesake should not be forgotten.
How about naming the Erie County Courthouse or the New York Court of Claims Building after our local hero? Donovan's name should continue to be one that is recognized by our citizens for years to come.

POE Ultrafiltration Surges Ahead
The point-of-entry (POE) market for ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems has grown considerably in recent years. Respected market researchers Frost & Sullivan had predicted that the market for hollow fiber UF membranes would increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 12.9% from 2004 to 2010, though there are signs that the actual growth rate during the latter part of this period may be above original estimates.

Arabic Heritage Week at Bellevue College
Bellevue College will hold an open celebration of Arabic heritage during the first week of June.
The campuswide cultural event —the first of its kind, according to the Arabic Culture Student Association — will include a sukh marketplace, music, food and an Arabic film festival.
The inspiration for the week came from a spontaneous moment in the campus's student government elections, Association member Orchideh Raisdanai said. A group of students began dancing to world music in the commons, and other students came out of their classes to watch. She thought that perhaps the best way for students to learn about the Arabic world was to put it all out there.
"We're a closeknit community, but we're also a quiet community," she said.

Re: Free 10 day trial of score watch wont let me cancel for three months? Therefore not free.
baconcard wrote:
I sent the email to cancel my free trial of score watch (which I actually let go for longer than 10 days, so I have paid for a month of it now) and I get a response saying that I have to wait until July for it to be cancelled, because there is a three month minimum purchase. Has anybody had this experience as well? I feel like this is not an honest way to run a "free" trial. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you think needs to be done. You admit you went past the 10 day free trial period. At the bottom of the page that gives details of the SW product it clearly says: *You may cancel your free 10-day trial subscription of Score Watch at anytime within the 10-day trial period without charge. If you don't cancel prior to the end of 10-day trial period, you'll be billed at $14.95 for each month that you continue your subscription. The minimum subscription period is three months.

LOGAN COUNTY, Ky (WBKO) -- Many area students are enjoying their last full week of summer vacation, but one local school district starts back in just two days.
"We've got 3400 students getting ready to come back," said Kevin Hub, Logan County Superintendent.
Logan County Schools are just two days away from the start of their 2014-2015 school year and today was a kick off to an anticipated school year.
Although the school district starts back Wednesday,July 30th, students and teachers gain a benefit well into the school year.
"Built into our calendar is a two week fall break and a two week spring break. It helps give the teachers a well deserved and well needed break. It also gets them fired up about student achievement coming up," said Kevin Hub, Logan County Superintendent.
Although Logan County School District is gearing up for it's 2014-2015 school year, students of Russellville Independent Schools are on a different schedule.
Russellville Independent Schools' first day back is August 6 and this school system only has one week for fall and spring break.
"We do coordinate our fall and spring breaks with Logan, as well as Todd county. We do this to make sure the staff at the area technology center has a week off as well for fall and spring breaks," said Leon Smith, Russellville Superintendent.
Russellville School's Superintendent says there is a developed reasoning for his school district's schedule.
"Because of the funding cuts in the extended school programming. I think that Logan County has used it successfully, but for what we do, for the demographics of our school district, we think it's better for us to just do the one week break," said Leon Smith, Russellville Superintendent.
Logan County Schools conducted a survey last spring, searching for feedback about the unique breaks. Superintendent Dr. Hub, says more than 65% were in favor of the schedule.
If you have questions about an area school system's start date, you should call the district's central office.

Recapping Events from PayExpo 2015

One of the premier payment events of the year in London is PayExpo, which bills itself as "the U.K.'s largest payments event."

In the last few weeks, I have written a couple of blogs highlighting the improvement of bank account penetration and debit card ownership across the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and MINTS (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey and South Africa) countries using the updated Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) database, constructed by the World Bank from interviews with 150,000 adults (individuals above age 15) in 143 countries.

Most of us probably remember the opining we named after Daeth. But it doesn't seem fair that an opining would be named after Daeth without Daeth also being named after an opining. Opinings and Daeth have equal rights! Therefore, I propose that we will name Daeth after The Halloween Gambit. So, whenever you refer to Daeth, write "The Halloween Gambit" instead.
I don't understand anything, what is an opining?, and what is Daeth?
It's not known what Daeth is. Some call him a god that created the perfect opining. Others call him a troll. One thing is clear though, it's a mysterious being.
what is an opining?
It's a word invented by Daeth. It's a series of moves used to start a game of chess.
what is the difference with an opening?
Don't question the mighty Daeth.

The difference is that mine is a real scientific study on the original Daeth opining, and a systematic analysis of why it will play a decisive role in the future of chess.

After months of unrelenting pressure from my big brother (Vinit Carpenter), I have decided to start blogging. :-)
I am an App Dev consultant and work for Microsoft Consulting Services. I primarily work with Biztalk Server 2004 and .NET related technologies. I recently moved to Miami from Santa Monica, CA and am now focused on public sector related projects.
In the coming days, weeks and months, I will have many interesting technical and non technical tit-bits to share and will do so via my blog.

Unit 4
Unit 4Modern and Contemporary Art
Week 9 Written Assignment
This week assignment focuses on two artists Grant Wood and Jackson Pollock, whom works were said to representative the "American Spirit". Pollock's style of painting and the similar works of his fellow colleague led to the term of action painting. While Wood's personal style of painting was inspired by the Renaissance period or Renaissance artists, mainly Durer and van Eyck. But if both artists art works representative the "American Spirit" wouldn't that mean also means that their techniques are similar as well? In actuality both artists' styles are very different but express the same "ideas" just in their own ways.
On one hand we have Grant Wood who was a Midwestern American whom studied art in Paris in the early 1920's. After years of unsuccessful attempts Wood moved back the Midwest and dedicated himself to studying the characteristic of the land and it's people in their daily life's thus bring in the "American Spirit" expression which could be seen in his famous work American Gothic. This painting was inspired when Wood saw a farm hose build in a local version of Gothic style. In the American Gothic, Wood painted in the Gothic house that inspired him and the farmer where inspired from his sister and doctor.
Now on the other have we also have Jackson Pollock who was an innovator of Abstract Expressionism. He later studied Navajo sand painting, psychology, and other variety of art for ways to express primal human nature. Pollock painted Autumn Rhythm with a style that would later be referred to as "action painting". Compared to Grant Wood's American Gothic that depicts a honest hard working American farmer working for the good old "American Dream" some people might not understand how Pollock's Autumn Rhythm could also match up to the "American Spirit".
The American Gothic depicted the "idea" of "American Spirit" mostly from a visually expression point of view. While Pollock's Autumn Rhythm deals...

10 Reasons the Bears Could Win the Super Bowl This Year
The Chicago Bears look like a much-improved team from last season, and should be popping up on everyone's radars as Super Bowl contenders. Here are the 10 reasons why we think this team is primed and ready to take the world by storm, and win Super Bowl 49.
1. They have the best wide receiver duo in all of football.
See, they believe it also. These two combined for over 2,600 receiving yards last season and 19 touchdowns. If Jay Cutler is healthy, they're going to be a handful for any team they face.
2. Jay Cutler is healthy, and looking good.
He has apparently gotten bigger and stronger this offseason, and is good to go. McCown was solid, but the Bears gave Cutler a fresh seven year deal, so it's time for him to shine.
3. There's always Matt Forte
He rushed for 1,339 yards last season, which was good for second best in the league . Oh, and he tacked on nine touchdowns for good measure. He's been a consistent top-10 pick during fantasy football drafts for years, and there's no reason for that to change in 2014.
4. The Addition of Jared Allen.
Jared Allen is a proven leader, and historically, has always made his teammates better. The 2011 NFC defensive player of the year and four-time All-Pro DE should make life easy on guys like Lamarr Houston. Speaking of Lamarr Houston…
5. The signing of Lamarr Houston.
The 27-year-old had six sacks last season, and playing with Jared Allen could allow him to push that number towards double digits. Brian Robison and Ray Edwards, Allen's former teammates, would definitely agree. When Jared Allen is on the field he commands tons of attention, which could potentially give Houston some nice looks at opposing QBs this season
6. Mark Trestman got this team to score even without Jay Cutler.
Last year under Trestman, the Bears scored almost four touchdowns per game. With the team's starting quarterback back in the mix, you'd have to expect that Trestman's offense will be just as, if not more impressive than last season's.
7. They have a fair schedule.
The Bears are 15th in the league in strength of schedule going into this season. Obviously these numbers are based on last year's results, but as of now, it doesn't look like they have the deck stacked against them too badly.
8. They are due.
This Super Bowl will mark the 30-year anniversary of the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl win. It's been a long time since these fans have tasted the sweet juices of glory, and this team, on paper, looks like they can deliver.
9. The odds makers have them among an elite group of teams.
All of these teams have either played for, or won a Super Bowl in the past ten years. Just sayin'.
10. Because Brian Billick says so.
Brian Billick was the only NFL.com analyst to pick the Bears to win this years Super Bowl. As a Super Bowl winner himself (2000 with the Ravens), I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's credible when it comes to evaluating teams. Also, have you seen how intense this guy can be? I wouldn't argue with him.

Should I delete a question with many down-votes? The question is informative, but people are continuously down-voting it, causing me to lose my reputation.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
You cannot delete your own question when there is an answer that has been up-voted (at least twice, if I correctly recall).
That said, on this site the down-votes have a different meaning. In most of the cases, the down-votes on meta sites mean disagreement with what implied from the question, in your case, that it is a good idea to report a link to a question asked elsewhere instead of rewriting the question on the Stack Exchange site where you wanted to ask it.
Generally speaking, it is preferable to avoid deleting your own questions because, if you delete too much of your questions, you could not be anymore able to ask new questions until you don't gain reputation by answering questions.
It depends.
I understand your reputation loss but even -10 votes means "only" -20 reputation which can be amended by meager 2 upvotes on answer you make or 4 upvotes on other question - really not that hard to achieve.

Ministers will not attend England's game against Italy in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012, Downing Street has confirmed.
The Prime Minister's spokeswoman blamed "busy schedules" but also "concerns about selective justice and the rule of law" in Ukraine.
However, should England reach the semi-finals, which will be played in Poland, a minister is likely to fly over to support the team.
The spokeswoman would not be drawn on plans for the final, suggesting that people should wait and see how the team get on. However, it would seem unusual for ministers to attend the match - if England make it - as
