I have been creating with my hands since I was a young girl. My academic studies led me to a M. S. degree in Chemical Engineering. The pursuit of that career was put on hold with the birth of my first child and the gift of my first sewing machine. On that machine, I have stitched hundreds of miles, producing clothes and accessories for myself, kids, friends and family. I also enjoy knitting, crocheting and crafting. These pursuits have enabled me to enjoy creative outlets and maintain a sense of sanity while raising four children, three of whom are currently teens!
My products are ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åpractical, yet prettyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâàand include tote bags, stash bags, headbands, bandana bands, wine totes and aprons. I love pretty damask and floral fabrics, but also fun, retro, fabrics as well. I also like to upcycle t-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee bags and other items into new designs. I have sewn many T-Shirt quilts over the years, mostly for high school graduates. I developed and wrote an easy-to-follow pattern to create a T-Shirt Memory Blanket. I blog about my creative life and have developed straightforward tutorials to solve simple problems or create practical items at http://www.maidenjane.blogspot.com
My non-creative pursuits include listening to music, reading, biking, and searching for sea glass on the shores of Lake Erie.
A custom T-Shirt Quilt made from YOUR T-shirts! Upcycle those favorite T Shirts into a practical and functional throw.
Your T-Shirts tell a story. Transform them into a functional quilt that tells YOUR story. That story may be your graduate's high school years. Perhaps the story is about your favorite travel destinations, your irreverent humor, or the many 5Ks you have completed. Maybe the quilt will tell the story of a loved one who has passed. Think of the feeling of wrapping yourself in his Tees.
Whatever your story a T Shirt Quilt is not simply for hanging on a wall (although it is so stunning you may consider doing so.) This blanket is meant to be used.
I have been making T Shirt quilts for years. I have designed this pattern to be simple and easy to use.

Ravichandran-Shivraj Kumar Graced Upendra's Birthday Party
Kannada actor Upendra, who is well known as superstar and real star in Kannada industry, celebrated his 45th birthday, yesterday (Sep 18), in Palace grounds, Bangalore. The event was graced by famous Kannada stars like Shivraj Kumar, Ravichandran, Puneeth Rajkumar, Jagesh and others.
The blissful event was kick started by a dance performance, which was given by Upendra's Children Ayush and Aishwarya. The organising committee was headed by the actor's wife Priyanka Upendra, who welcomed all the guests. Anushree of Kannda Bigg Boss fame, and Dileep Raj hosted the event.
The young sizzling actresses like Sanjjanaa, Harshika Poonacha and Bhavana Rao shook legs for the Uppi's famous songs. The rough cut of Uppi 2 teaser was screened in the event, which made the audience curious to know more about the movie.
Upendra and Shivraj Kumar's dance for the number 'Ollu bari ollu,' became the main highlight of the event. The actors also shared their sweet memories and their close bond from the day they did the movie Om. Uppi proudly said, "Om is the movie that gave me an identity in Kannada industry and took me to heights."
Actor Jaggesh, who was the lead actor in Upendra's directorial venture Tarle Nan Maga, thanked Uppi for giving him an oppurtunity in the movie. He also said that it was the movie that gave him a break as an actor.

Sunday, September 21, 2008. (AP) -- Gus Frerotte stabilized Minnesota's wobbly passing attack for at least one week, after Antoine Winfield and the rest of defense propped it up once again.
Winfield's sack of Jake Delhomme and subsequent 19-yard fumble return for a touchdown right before halftime spurred the Vikings to a 20-10 victory over Carolina on Sunday to hand the Panthers their first defeat.
Replacing Tarvaris Jackson after a pair of woeful games by the offense, Frerotte might have helped save the season for Minnesota (1-2) by completing 16 of 28 passes for 204 yards, a touchdown to Visanthe Shiancoe and an early interception. The 37-year-old wasn't very sharp in the first half, but he made some crisp throws down the stretch to keep the Vikings in front.

Really looks like a stellar take out target.
They are large enough to be an established BRAND while still being small enough to:
1. Acquire at a reasonable cost
2. Be able to grow SIGNIFICANTLY over the next 8 to 10 years + in the right hands.
A well run profitable company with a strong balance sheet.
They look like prime target material.
Could they be a target?
Logically they seem to fit the bill.
Still believe strongly that they must be a take out target.
Believe the ONLY thing standing in the way of them being taken out is the PREMIUM they must (and should ) be demanding.
Have no idea what that PREMIUM is...but don't fool yourself...
EVERYBODY has a price. It is just a matter of who will be willing to pay the premium for this ICONIC Brand.
Are there multiple possible bidders?
they can't establish a footprint that works in the United States, how long can foreign growth run before it stalls- what is the problem, if they were smart they would just follow Chipotle from one onpeing to the next, they have someone who can pick a location.

Everything about this place is a unsatisfactory. I bought a Groupon voucher which said that booking had to be made online, fair enough I thought, and I completed the online form that said that someone would confirm the booking within 5 days. I didn't get a response and tried again. Again, nothing. Finally I called - at first the woman who answered wasn't sure what the name of the place was and had to check with someone else. I was passed to that person and I explained that my online booking didn't seem to have gone through - she confirmed that it wasn't working and just scheduled me over the phone. She said that the Harley Street branch was booked out but offered a convenient time at their Highbury and Islington branch, which I accepted. I was told I would receive a confirmation text with the address. I didn't receive anything for a few days so I called again. This time I did get a text with an address on Holloway Road.
I duly arrived at the address provided (239 Holloway Road) around 5mins before my appointment time, only to find a closed, signless shopfront. I called the mobile number that had sent the confirmation and was told to wait there - at that point I had half a mind to just head home. The therapist arrived with a friend and two children in tow -I thought that this had to be a scam and didn't have much confidence in the legitimacy of the clinic but felt too polite to just walk away. I followed her to the real address of the clinic, which seems quite makeshift and is actually some spare rooms at the back of travel agency. The therapist had not come from the clinic, and was dressed as if she had just had lunch with her friend, and spent 10-15 mins getting the massage room ready while I waited. The massage itself was passable but I couldn't feel very relaxed with the thin walls and the CD player that kept skipping. When I left, no one asked me how I was and I could have easily walked out with paying as they didn't seem very organised, I actually stopped to volunteer the voucher which was accepted aggressively.
I should emphasise that this was at the Holloway Road branch but as this "clinic" is run by the same people, I would highly recommend staying away.

Criminal Defense Attorney
On what day did you get the first supervision?
Beginning of November for a ticket I got in Oct in Dupage county. Both were in Dupage county. The one I got today was in Lake county.
You are not currently eligible to get supervision.
Oh I know that. I'm more worried about suspension or something.

Problem page: http://istudyenglishonline.com/basic-beginner-vocabulary/farmyard-animals/
Hi, I wonder if a kind seasoned WordPress wizz (something I certainly am not) can help me.
A while ago I created some image galleries on my vocabulary pages and they worked fine for a long time. In fact, most of them still do (Example). However, just the other day when I made some amendments (details below) to my page, upon updating the page noticed that some of the images disappeared and the formatting went wrong. The strange thing is that I am also no longer able to make basic changes to the page's layout (2 columns, right, for example). It just doesn't change the page.
The changes I made to the page were to add some shortcodes using the Hoversound plugin, that allows you to add sound clips behind text. This code works fine on the example page I pasted above. It seems that when I edit the page and then re-publish it, that's when the problems start. For this reason I'm wondering if it's the Hoversound plugin (I tried deactivating it and nothing changed) that's the problem.
If anyone has any advice on this issue, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

The rare book restoration expert works on tomes both lofty as Renaissance manuscripts and pedestrian as cookbooks caked with food that he painstakingly restores to good health. Some books are tattered from overuse, some are damaged by the elements and some have been snacked on by actual bookworms. »Read Full Article(4)

This is a HUGE dysfunction in WP... I've been trying to get the thumbnail from the first image in my post which is not attached to this post because it has already been uploaded (therefore attached) to a previous post and I simply can't.
This means I have a 'books' category and when I insert the 'book_new.jpg' image to my posts, the image is showing in the post of course but since it's not attached to it, I can't get the thumbnail and so I can't show the thumbnail on my homepage... (any function like wp_get_attachment_image would work since the image MUST be attached to the post...).
Totally weird, a real dysfunction obviously. WordPress is amazing, really but when you use it as a CMS, not having the ability to re-use already attached images into other posts and show the thumbnail is beyond understanding.
I've read on WP.com:
If you'd like to use the attached image with another post, please try uploading it again directly from the Media Library. Please note that the newly uploaded image's URL will be different.
I can't imagine uploading the same image multiple times, each time I want to show a thumbnail!!
I'm not the only one pointing out this problem. It would be so great if a solution was available!

Theatre Communications Group
Theatre Communications Group Logo
|New York City, New York, United States
Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is a non-profit service organization dedicated to nurturing, strengthening and promoting professional non-profit theatre in the United States.[1] As of 2014, TCG has over 700 member theatres located in 47 states; 172,000 individual members; and 150 University, Trustee and other business affiliates.[2] TCG is currently headquartered at 520 Eighth Avenue in mid-town Manhattan.[3]
TCG offers training, networking and research opportunities to its members, including their annual Fiscal Survey and the resulting publication, the TCG TheatreFacts Report.[4] In addition, TCG awards over $2 million in grants each year to nonprofit theatres and individual theatre artists through philanthropic partnerships, including the MetLife/TCG A-ha! Program.[5]
Each year, the organization hosts a number of events for its members on special topics in the nonprofit theatrical industry, including the Fall Forum for Governance in New York City [6] and the annual TCG National Conference, held in a different American city each year.[1]
The organization also publishes American Theatre magazine and ARTSEARCH, a theatrical employment bulletin,[7] as well as trade editions of play scripts, including ten winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
TCG was awarded Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre in 2005.[2]
Theatre Communications Group was established in 1961 with a grant from the Ford Foundation in response to their then arts and humanities director W. McNeil Lowry's desire to foster communication and cooperation among the growing community of regional theatres throughout the country.[8] Though initially run as a Ford Foundation administered program, TCG independently incorporated in 1964.[9]
The organization began with a membership of 15 regional and community theatres, and nine university drama departments under the leadership of Pat Brown.[10] In its first decade of operation, other leaders included Michael Mabry, Joseph Zeigler and Hartney Arthur.[11] In 1972, Peter Zeisler was named Executive Director, a position he would hold for 23 years.[12] Under Zeisler's leadership, TCG created many of its longest-running programs, including annual National Conference, American Theatre Magazine and TCG Books.[11]
After Zeisler retired in 1995, the organization was lead, respectively, by John Sullivan, (1993-1997) [13] Ben Cameron (1996-2006), and Joan Channick (1999-2006).[14] Under the leadership of Cameron and Channick, TCG was named the United States Center for the International Theater Institute in 1999 [15] and Tony Honors for Excellence in 2005.[2]
Teresa Eyring began her tenure as Executive Director of the organization in 2007, and continues in this position today.[16]

Black Guards (Russian: Чёрная Гвардия, Chjornaya Gvardiya) were armed groups of workers formed after the February Revolution and before the final Bolshevik suppression of other leftwing groups. They were the main strike force of the anarchists. They were created in the Summer of 1917 in Ukraine by Maria Nikiforova, and expanded in January 1918 to Moscow, under the control of anarchists at industrial enterprises by Factory and Plant Committees and by Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups cells.
Like most anarchists' collectives since the 1880s, the Black Guards had the word "black" in their name as a reference to the black flag. On a more basic level, some theorists[which?] simply think of black as "the color of negation" and see it as fitting for groups attempting to negate state authority.[1][not in citation given]
Maria Nikiforova organized the Black Guards' first unit. Nikiforova, often known by her nickname Marusya, was a Ukrainian anarchist organiser who put together the first Black Guards cell in the city of Alexandrovsk in the Ukraine. Nikiforova, who is often compared to Joan of Arc, due to her important role in a male dominated conflict from a young age, started the first Black Guards cell in an attempt to bring the land reform and wealth redistribution called for by the peasants to fruition. Nikiforova, a self-proclaimed terrorist, directed her unit of Black Guards to terrorize the Alexandrovsk local government in order to achieve the political change she desired. Later similar cells were established by Nestor Makhno throughout other portions of the Ukraine. Makhno led a "Robin Hood-like existence" during the revolution, seizing land and distributing wealth among the peasants.[2] Soon after the establishment of some of the first Black Guards cells, it became apparent that this small terrorist cell structure of organization was ideal for the anarchist political and military organisers to utilize to attempt to violently bring about the ideological changes their members desired. The Black Guards were eventually organized into a more structured set of cells by the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups under Lev Cherny's organising.
The Black Guards formed in order to give the anarchist movement military backing. While some anarchists joined the Bolsheviks in an attempt to moderate their policies to fit more congruously with the anarchist agenda, more extreme factions of the movement decided that this would not suffice and formed military units, the Black Guards. The anarchist ideology behind the movement called for small localized councils to be democratically elected and oversee that goods and property were being evenly distributed throughout the communities. The councils would ideally only have to exist for the interim transitional period from their current political set up to absolute self-rule and anarchism.
Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups[edit]
The Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups, which assisted in the organization of the Black Guards was formed in March 1917. The Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups had many important anarchist thinkers as political and military organizers for the group. Lev Chernyi served as the secretary for the organization. The group's foremost goal was the organizing of underground anarchist groups as well as the dissemination of pro-anarchist propaganda to Moscow's working class, following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas the II. It was suggested by anarchist associated critic, Victor Serge, that far too much of the Black Guards money and effort was focused on wasted military conflicts and more resources should have been directed towards the largely failed political propaganda campaign. The Black Guards and the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups never gained the political or even popular support that they desired.
Militarization in Ukraine and suppression in Russia[edit]
On the night April 11 to 12 1918 Dzerzhinsky, president of the Cheka, had a force of approximately 5,000 soviet troops attack anarchist group headquarters in Moscow.[3] The headquarters Moscow Federation for Anarchist Groups was raided, known as the, "House of Anarchy" and all present members were arrested. These raids were prompted by a series of armed aggressions against Cheka officials that were believed to be carried out by Moscow Federation for Anarchist Group supported Black Guard units. The credit for the murders of the two Cheka officials was later taken by a Black Guards unit, solidifying the state"s justification for aggression against the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups.
There was no need to mount a negative political campaign as part of the suppression of the Black Guards because the Black Guards had no political power or support, their power was simply derived from their military strength. Russian revolutionary writer, Victor Serge, who was initially part of anarchist movement believed that much of the Black Guards real capacities was, "wasted on small and chaotic struggles."[4]
Ultimately the legacy of the Black Guards is most important due to its contribution in serving as a model for the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, otherwise known as the Black Army. Following the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Nestor Makhno formed a Black Guards unit in Ukraine that would later grow into what was formally known as the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine (RIAU). The RIAU may have simply been referred to as a continuation of the Black Guards if it were not on a far larger and more organized and unified scale.[5]

Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, August 2012: Adventure writer Peter Heller's The Dog Stars is a first novel set in Colorado after a superflu has culled most of humanity. A man named Hig lives in a former airport community—McMansions built along the edge of a runway—which he shares with his 1956 Cessna, his dog, and a slightly untrustworthy survivalist. He spends his days flying the perimeter, looking out for intruders and thinking about the things he's lost—his deceased wife, the nearly extinct trout he loved to fish. When a distant beacon sparks in him the realization that something better might be out there, it's only a matter of time before he goes searching. Poetic, thoughtful, transformative, this novel is a rare combination of the literary and highly readable. --Chris Schluep
Amazon Exclusive: Author Peter Heller on the Star of The Dog Stars
Our Hero, Hig, lives at a little country airstrip which he shares with his beloved blue heeler Jasper, and a mean gun nut named Bangley. It's nine years after a super-flu has killed 99.7% of the people on the planet. Hig sleeps out under the open sky at night with Jasper. He does it because he loves to see the stars, and because it's safer: if marauders come he won't be trapped in one of the nearby houses.
He used to have a book of the stars, but now he doesn't, so when he's lying out at night he makes up constellations. Mostly they are animals, and he makes one for his best friend Jasper. The Dog Stars. It's Hig's way of reinventing the lost world, and keeping in touch with the things he loves.
Jasper, to me, is the star of the book. He is fiercely loyal, and he gives Hig something to live for when there is not much else to hold on to.
"Heller sculpts a unique and compelling story [and] an intricate hero who inspires a risky break from complacency in a quest for happiness that can't be planned but must be forged. . . . [Heller's] best work yet, combining his keen eye for details and his energetic writing with a gift for introspective storytelling." —Jason Blevins, The Denver Post
"[The Dog Stars] gripped me—it's the real deal. Heller's voice is extraordinary and his narrator's toughness seems to hide a beautiful and aching restlessness. One of those books that makes you happy for literature." —Junot Díaz, Wall Street Journal
"A novel about no less than isolation, humanity, empathy, and need." —The Christian Science Monitor
"Lyrical . . . This is a beautiful, haunting and hopeful book written with a poetic sparseness that makes your breath catch and your heart ache." —Carole O'Brien, Aspen Daily News Online
"Heller has created a heartbreakingly moving love story with The Dog Stars, one of this year's greatest literary surprises. . . . A poetic and stellar story of what can happen to men and women when their world begins to die. It's an ode to what we've lost so far, and how we risk losing everything. Grade: A+" —John J. Kelly, Cincinnati City Beat
"Vivacious . . . Heller's writing is powerful and elegant even when in the vernacular, and polished to a high degree. The narrator's voice comes through in all his sadness. The story as far as it goes is relatively believable, swiftly paced and engrossing." —Michel Basilières, The Star
"Beautifully narrated . . . a book that will surprise you. . . . Hig is a charmer, a man of his word with a wicked sense of humor and an acute sense of survival. His eyes are open to the world as only a poet's can be, observing and absorbing any beauty left in the aftermath of the world's tragedy. . . . The author shocks readers with unexpected bursts of action-packed scenes that keep the book moving at a suspenseful pace, without compromising the literary style. Heller has written a rare novel that combines readability with high-style prose, while making each compliment the other. The result is a book that rests easily on shelves with Dean Koontz, Jack London or Hemingway. The prose in this novel is anything but conventional. It often is painfully beautiful as the story lapses into arching poetic verse when High is pushed to the very depths of despair, yet still he retains hope. The Dog Stars illustrates the strength of bonds that can be formed between men, the fierce companionship between man and dog, and the inner-struggle of a survivor's guilt with gut-wrenching clarity. Heller's sensitivity to nature and descriptive detail brings about an appreciation that will make readers pause, if only for a moment, to reflect on the majesty of their own natural surroundings. It's a tale of humanity after Doomsday, from an author who's not afraid to step out of his comfort zone." —Mindy Sansoucie, The Missourian
"What [Hig] encounters along the way brings to the fore primal instincts and essential desires. The action is swift, pinpointing old struggles with little ado: Companionship is what we long for, memory is what confounds us, sex is what agitates the caldron of all we are. The narrative has the urgency and rhythm of Morse code. An amalgam of long and short utterances, it goes far in conveying the near-isolation of an alert mind. . . . In the end, the stronghold grows. Whether that has larger implications for the future of humanity is irrelevant. Scarcity leads to the discovery of new pleasures. To a re-evaluation of what matters. To a sense of home. Giving one's dog a place among the constellations in the company of a lover amounts to all of the above." —Rudy Mesicek, The Salt Lake Tribune
"Fresh . . . quiet, meditative . . . it's the people [Hig] meets when he least expects to who change everything, proving a truth we know from our everyday nonfictional lives: Even when it seems like all the humans in the world are only out for themselves, there are always those few who prove you absolutely wrong—in the most surprising of ways." —Leigh Newman, Oprah.com
"A stupendous debut, Heller's voice is both haunted and irresistible. A post-apocalyptic novel with so much emotional truth it reads like a memoir from the future. About a worn-out pilot, his beloved Cessna, his copilot dog and our endless longing for connection—even in a world undone." —Junot Diaz
"When Hig takes his plane into the wilderness surrounding the airport, The Dog Stars can feel less like a 21st-century apocalypse and more like a 19th-century frontier narrative (albeit one in which many, many species have become extinct). There are echoes of Grizzly Adams or Jeremiah Johnson in scenes where Heller lingers on the details of how the water in a flowing stream changes color as the sun moves across the sky, or making a fire from fallen twigs on a bed of dry moss. Modern technology finds its way back into the story, but we're so far inside Hig's head that it feels like one more element in the dreamlike landscape. Though it is punctuated by intensely violent outbursts, once these recede into the background, Heller's novel can approach moments of quiet, poetic beauty." —Ron Hogan, Dallas News
"An elegy for a lost world turns suddenly into a paean to new possibilities. In The Dog Stars, Peter Heller serves up an insightful account of physical, mental, and spiritual survival unfolded in dramatic and often lyrical prose . . . in which unexpected hope persistently flickers amid darkness." —Alan Cheuse, The Boston Globe
"Hig sees animals in the stars, beauty in trees and love in his memories—and so will you. The story is at times brutal but the language is often poetic. This is a deeply felt story about things we all crave: connection, love and survival in an unforgiving world." —Ronni Mott, Jackson Free Press
"[A] terrific debut novel . . . Recalling the bleakness of Cormac McCarthy and the trout-praising beauty of David James Duncan, The Dog Stars makes a compelling case that the wild world will survive the apocalypse just fine; it's the humans who will have the heavy lifting." —Bruce Barcott, Outside Magazine
"Suspenseful, full of action and hope, and a love story. . . . The book is one you'll not soon forget." — Kay Dyer, The Oklahoman
"Heller's writing gives you a heartbreaking jolt, like a sudden wakening from a dream." —Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times
"What separates Heller's book from other End of Days stories is that it doesn't rely on the thematic fail-safes to tell the story—The Dog Stars is quite simply the story of what it's like to be alone. What it feels like to not know more than one or two other people for a decade. What it's like to love those people while fearing them, all the time knowing that survival sometimes means you have to shoot first." —Melody Datz, The Stranger
"Heller crafts a richly emotional perspective on how humans choose to respond when confronted with calamity. . . . [T]here's a singular voice at work here in Hig's halting first-person narration that turns his mind into a battleground between two choices of handling apocalypse: self-preserving fear, or risky humanity. At times funny, at times thrilling, at times simply heartbreaking and always rich with a love of nature, The Dog Stars finds a peculiar poetry in deciding that there's really no such thing as the end of the world—just a series of decisions about how we live in whatever world we've got." —Scott Renshaw, Salt Lake City Weekly
"The Dog Stars by Peter Heller is a heavenly book, a stellar achievement by a debut novelist that manages to combine sparkling prose with truly memorable, shining, characters. It contains constellations of grand images and ideas, gleams with vitality, and sparkles with wit. And for a story of this ilk, it is also—a rarity—radiant with hope. Despite the many terrible events threatening to engulf our heroes, The Dog Stars never falls into the black hole of hopelessness common in many post-apocalyptic fictions. . . . Luminous with bright ideas . . . The Dog Stars is the story of Hig's conversation with his faith, with his humanity, with his former life. By turns moving, articulate and, exciting, it is also one of those stories that remains with the reader long after the book is closed. It contains all of the lyricism of Cormac McCarthy at his best—Hig fights for 'things that have no use anymore except as a bulwark against oblivion. Against the darkness of total loss.' And he reaches for the stars. For the constellations of his memory. He looks up and not down." —A. J. Kirby, New York Journal of Books
"With its soulful hero, macabre villains, tender love story and action scenes staggered at perfectly spaced intervals, [The Dog Stars] unfolds with the vigor of the film it will undoubtedly become. But it also succeeds as a dark, poetic and funny novel in its own right. . . . That [Hig's] story is not in the end depressing may be the most disturbing part of this novel. In fact, at times, the destruction of civilization seems to have given Hig the chance to live more richly in the present, to feel grace more acutely, to sleep outdoors and gaze up at the stars in his purged, rejuvenated universe. It is frightening to face up to the apocalypse. It's perhaps even more frightening when we get past that and start seeing its upside." —Jennifer Reese, NPR
"A stunning, hope-riddled end-of-the-world story . . . bound to become a classic." —Emily Temple, Flavorwire
"The Dog Stars is a post-apocalyptic adventure novel with the soul of haiku. . . . Heller is a well-known adventure writer, and his knowledge of and sensitivity to nature and outdoor pursuits come through here with precision and power. . . . A novel that gets under the skin of what it means to survive unbearable loss." —Margaret Quamme, The Columbus Dispatch
"A heart-wrenching and richly written story about loss and survival—and, more important, about learning to love again. . . . The Dog Stars is a love story, but not just in the typical sense. It's an ode to friendship between two men, a story of the strong bond between a human and a dog, and a reminder of what is worth living for."—Michele Filgate, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"By putting us in the worst of all possible times, literature can allow us to experience the best side of humankind, where instead of giving up, we struggle desperately in the ruins for love, connection and hope. And that brings us to Peter Heller's ravishing doomsday novel, The Dog Stars. . . . An indelible core of kindness beats like a heart within [Hig]. . . . The supreme pleasure of this book is the lovely writing. Hig talks to himself, and to us, in a kind of syncopated rhythm that's as intimate as a conversation, with pauses and clipped words. . . . In the midst of all the devastation, Heller shows us the stunning beauty of the natural world. . . . The pages of The Dog Stars are damp with grief for what is lost and can never be recovered. But there are moments of unexpected happiness, of real human interaction, infused with love and hope, like the twinkling of a star we might wish upon, which makes this end-of-the-world novel more like a rapturous beginning. . . . Remarkable."—Caroline Leavitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Magical and life-affirming." —Eric Brown, The Guardian
"Terrific . . . With echoes of Moby Dick, The Dog Stars . . . brings Melville's broad, contemplative exploration of good and evil to his story; he tells it in the spare, often disjunctive, language of Beckett. Heller's vision, however, is not as dark as that of his literary antecedents. . . . With startling lyricism, Heller's accomplished first novel rises above the inherent darkness of a world stripped bare by disease, climate change and violence" —Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness
"Alternates between elegiac reflection, lyrical nature writing, and intense, high-caliber action." —NPR
"The critically acclaimed book of the summer." —Philadelphia Magazine
"The Dog Stars is a compelling debut from author Peter Heller, which decisively strikes at the ever-arching desire to know what makes us human. . . . Gruff, tormented and inspirational, Heller has the astonishing ability to make you laugh, cringe and feel ridiculously vulnerable throughout the novel that will have you rereading certain passages with a hard lump in the pit of your stomach. One of the most powerful reads in years." —Playboy
"After an award-winning career as an adventure writer and NPR contributor, Heller has written a stunning debut novel. In spare, poetic prose, he portrays a soaring spirit of hope that triumphs over heartbreak, trauma, and insurmountable struggles. A timely must-read." —Library Journal (starred)
"Richly evocative yet streamlined journal entries propel the high-stakes plot while simultaneously illuminating Hig's nuanced states of mind as isolation and constant vigilance exact their toll, along with his sorrow for the dying world . . . Heller's surprising and irresistible blend of suspense, romance, social insight, and humor creates a cunning form of cognitive dissonance neatly pegged by Hig as an 'apocalyptic parody of Norman Rockwell'—a novel, that is, of spiky pleasure and signal resonance." —Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred)
"In the tradition of postapocalyptic literary fiction such as Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Jim Crace's The Pesthouse, this hypervisceral first novel by adventure writer Heller (Kook) takes place nine years after a superflu has killed off much of mankind. . . . With its evocative descriptions of hunting, fishing, and flying, this novel, perhaps the world's most poetic survival guide, reads as if Billy Collins had novelized one of George Romero's zombie flicks. From start to finish, Heller carries the reader aloft on graceful prose, intense action, and deeply felt emotion." —Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Leave it to Peter Heller to imagine a post-apocalyptic world that contains as much loveliness as it does devastation. His likable hero, Hig, flies around what was once Colorado in his 1956 Cessna, chasing all the same things we chase in these pre-annihilation days: love, friendship, the solace of the natural world, the chance to perform some small kindness, and a good dog for a co-pilot. The Dog Stars is a wholly compelling and deeply engaging debut." —Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted
"Take the sensibility of Hemingway. Or James Dickey. Place it in a world where a flu mutation has wiped out ninety-nine percent of the population. Add in a heartbroken man with a fishing rod, some guns, a small plane. Don't forget the dog. Now imagine this man retains more hope than might be wise in such a battered and brutal time. More trust. More hunger for love—more capacity for it, too. That's what Peter Heller has given us in his beautifully written first novel. The Dog Stars is a gripping tale of one man's fight for survival against impossibly long odds. A man who has lost nearly everything but his soul. And what's so moving about Heller's book is that he shows us how sometimes a big soul is the only thing a man needs: the keystone, the center pillar, the hunk of masonry upon which all else will rise or fall." —Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
"Heller is a masterful storyteller and The Dog Stars is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of nature and the relentless human drive to find meaning and deep connections with life and the living. In this chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic setting, readers will root for Heller's characters and be moved by their toughness as well as their tenderness." —Julianna Baggott, author of Pure
"The Dog Stars is a giant of a novel that goes about its profound business with what looks alarmingly like ease. For all those who thought Cormac McCarthy's The Road the last word on the post-apocalyptic world—think again. Peter Heller has dark and glittering news from the future, and delivers it in prose that stops you like a wolf in the snow. Make time and space for this savage, tender, brilliant book." —Glen Duncan, author of The Last Werewolf and Talulla Rising

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- One person is injured after a shooting on Rolling Meadows Drive.
Investigators were called to the scene around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
The victim told deputies a car drove by on Dahlia Street and fired out of the vehicle. It hit the man in the arm. He was able to run to a friend's home on Rolling Meadows Drive.
We're told EMS responded for the victim, but he is expected to be OK.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this on my own for over 2 hours now and none of the fixes seem to work.
If you visit http://www.getmightynow.com and click the "articles" parent category, it goes to a blank directory listing. It's weird that the parent link is broken, but the child category links work just fine.
mod_rewrite is enabled on hostmonster by default, so it's not that
I did the .htaccess file reset by disabling all plugins, deleting the .htaccess file, resetting my permalinks and then trying the link (still broken), and then re-enabled my plugins since those weren't the problem
I'm using WordPress 3.4.2 and all plugins are up to date.
Any other ideas?

- Government Relations
- Legislative Successes
Legislative Successes
The following list provides some of the highlights of AKC Government Relations' (AKC GR) legislative successes through July 8, 2016. Other victories not included in this list have been won by AKC federations, clubs, and responsible dog owners and breeders around the country who continue to work tirelessly to promote positive canine legislation in their state and community.
To view all Legislative Alerts posted for your state in 2016, as well as the latest information on all bills being tracked by the AKC Government Relations Department, visit the 2016 Legislation Tracking page.
House Bill 296 names the Golden Retriever as the State Dog. The AKC and the Golden Retriever Club of America both support this bill, which recognizes the breed's excellent temperament and the many roles Golden Retrievers provide to society. The designation will last for one year. The bill has been approved by both the House and Senate. Read AKC's blog on this bill.
House Resolution 1144 recognizes May 1, 2016 as National Purebred Dog Day in Illinois. The resolution celebrates the invaluable roles that dogs play and recognizes that purebreds were selected and developed to perform very specific tasks. The resolution, which was brought forward by the AKC's Illinois federation and is strongly supported by the AKC, has been approved by both houses. Read more about National Purebred Dog Day.
House Bill 4443 would have made several changes to the laws regarding those charged with cruelty and whose animals are seized. The changes included requiring peace officers to arrest without a warrant anyone who violates the state's cruelty laws and granting civil immunity for those caring for the seized animals "unless the act is the result of willful or wanton misconduct." The bill was pulled from the Agriculture Committee and reassigned to the House Rules Committee and did not advance. AKC and its Illinois federation communicated the numerous concerns with this bill to the legislators.
House Bill 5004 as introduced would have only allowed veterinarians to debark a dog if it is medically necessary to treat an illness, disease, or injury or correct a congenital abnormality that is causing harm or pain. An amendment was filed to simply state the only veterinarians may debark a dog, and anyone selling a dog or cat must disclose that the dog has been debarked. The bill was sent to the House Rules Committee and will not advance this year.
Senate Bill 2847 would have further streamlined procedures by which an owner suspected of cruelty may permanently lose their dogs even before a trial begins. The bill was held in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Read more about this bill and AKC's concerns.
SF 502/HF 2416 as introduced would have created many new regulations for "commercial breeders", which are currently defined as someone who has four or more intact dogs and receives any kind of consideration for breeding (including stud fees or a puppy back). The bills were amended to create a new "Quality Assurance Council" that would have been charged with reviewing applications from commercial breeders "who seek to receive a quality assurance certificate denoting the breeder as one of the leading commercial breeders" in Iowa. It was unclear exactly how council membership would be determined or how the measure would be implemented. The legislature adjourned without passing any new breeder regulations. The AKC is working with local clubs and breeders to continue ensuring the rights of breeders and dog owners are protected in the state. Read more about the victory for Iowa dog owners and breeders.
Senate Bill 36 would have expanded current law to allow anyone to remove an animal from a vehicle if they believe the animal's health or safety is in danger. Current law only allows certain first responders, law enforcement officers or animal control to remove animals from vehicles. Those who remove animals from vehicles would have been exempt from all liability. AKC, the state federation and local dog owners contacted the committee and sponsor to express concerns about pet theft, lost dogs, and the lack of recourse for dog owners who were being responsible. The sponsor agreed to amend the bill to address concerns, but the bill ultimately received an unfavorable report in committee.
Senate Bill 851 seeks to allow the recovery of non-economic damages in cases involving the death or injury of a companion animal. Non-economic damages are those that cannot be determined by a certain dollar amount (i.e., loss of companionship). The American Kennel Club remains a long-time opponent of allowing non-economic damages in such cases, and opposed SB 851. AKC's Massachusetts federation also opposed the bill. It was referred to study on April 4 and will not advance this year.
New York
Assembly Bill 1679 would have banned "debarking" unless it was deemed medically necessary to correct an injury, illness, or congenital defect. It passed the Assembly but was held in the Senate Agriculture Committee. Read more about this bill.
Rhode Island
House Bill 7958 would have created court-appointed animal advocates. AKC opposed this bill, which would have resulted in legal and pragmatic issues regarding who is responsible for an animal, and may have ultimately impacted the ability and rights of pet owners to freely choose the most appropriate course of care and treatment for pets. The bill was held for further study on March 30 and will not advance this year.
South Carolina
House Bill 4120 would have required licensing of commercial dog breeders, defined as a person or business that owns, has custody of, or maintains twenty or more female dogs over the age of six months capable of reproduction and kept primarily for the purpose of breeding and selling the offspring. HB 4120 did not advance in the House Committee on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs.
Senate Bill 800 would have required licensing, fees, and inspections for persons who own or control ten or more intact female adult dogs and enacted extensive requirements for breeders. Inspections and unlimited re-inspections could have been conducted by appointees with no training or certification, and such appointees' non-governmental organizations would have received resulting fees and civil penalties of up to $5000 per day. SB 800 did not advance in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
Senate Bill 2175 and House Bill 2303 sought to enact regulation of persons who own 16 or more intact adult female dogs or who sell 40 (originally 20) or more dogs a year. Any person, potentially including representatives of organizations that oppose dog breeding, could have been authorized to conduct inspections and determine if violations were occurring. Any violation of any rule would have been subject to both criminal and civil penalties. The bills were taken off notice in committee. Subsequently, an amendment to attach similar language to an unrelated bill was withdrawn. The Tennessee Federation of Dog Clubs, AKC clubs in Tennessee, and dog owners and breeders across the state worked to educate elected officials about problematic provisions in this legislation.
House Bill 132 would have defined a commercial breeder as anyone with six or more breeding animals, who sells or gives away even one puppy. AKC GR worked with local clubs to educate legislators about the inappropriateness of this definition. The bill failed to pass prior to session adjournment.
Senate Bill 253 would have prohibited a dog from being tethered outside when the temperature was below 32 degrees or if there are high winds, rain, or snow, unless the dog has access to an approved shelter. This bill would have impacted outdoor events where dogs are humanely tethered. AKC and local dog clubs and sportsmen expressed concern with this bill, which failed to pass prior to adjournment.
House Bills 38, 211, and 1323 would have allowed private citizens to remove companion animals from vehicles if they believe the animal is at risk of serious injury or death. The bills further stated that the person may not be held liable for any damages, including loss of the animal or any injury caused by the animal. These bills were all tabled for the year and an identical Senate bill, SB 9, was amended to only apply these laws to law enforcement and first responders. It no longer allowed private citizens to remove dogs.
West Virginia
House Bill 4653 would have required all dogs and cats to be sterilized with very few exceptions. The AKC and local clubs and breeders expressed strong concern with this bill, which was ultimately held in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
