i think it leaves united in an unchanged position, as 1, the buy out has not happened yet, 2, they will pay the debt, but little else and 3, money does not mean success,
if they did however become a force, it would leave arsenal fighting europa football on a thursday night as we, as ever, are above you, so we will have the comfort that the arsenil will still be finishing seasons potless.......................bar the emirates cup of course

I think you will find that United have denied that any approach was made for Bellamy and as for Pool getting rich owners,only time will tell and things are not yet sorted out.It is rather funny Fab how you grasp at every little straw in your silly efforts to get at United.
Maybe you should spend your time worrying about Arsenal or is it Palace?

Without further ado, here are some of my major reservations about modern law enforcement policies.
The sooner that cops embrace the notion that the person they may find themselves in a firefight in may look more like a grandfather than a gangster, the better able they will be to not only respond to the threat at the time, but deal with its aftermath.
For all the cultural sensitivity training we're required to sit through, for all the tolerance we may espouse, we may just not be able to relate to some of our contacts as well as others might. That's why you should consider using a fellow officer of a similar persuasion, if possible.

It turns out sleeping in your car is a lot more complicated than popping back the seats and trying not to wake up in agony, because–ugh, cars are terrible to sleep in. But if you do have to pull over and draw some Zs, for crying out loud, make sure you follow Guy Code's advice to stay warm, out of prison, and able to drive away in the morning. The first rule? Don't park on top of a flagpole. Nobody ever got any sleep in a car balanced on top of a flagpole.

Although only a few blocks long, this friendly neighborhood park is packed to the brim with things to do. On busy days, runners circle the track while groups of friends shoot hoops, hit balls, and take advantage of the baseball and handball courts. The small recreation center on its grounds offers a fitness room, exercise equipment, and classes for those looking for a good workout.
Thomas Jefferson Park is also a wonderful resource for local children. Its substantial playground, complete with swings and slides galore, provides plenty of spaces for jumping, climbing, and carrying on, while inside the recreation center the afterschool program provides more structured fun.
In the summer the park takes on a whole new character, when the outdoor pool is opened and families come out to use the barbeque grills and picnic tables. But no matter what the weather is like, Thomas Jefferson Park always offers plenty to do.

This week's PetMeds adoptable pet spotlight is on Chubby, a Collie/Labrador Retriever mix hoping for a forever home of her own:
Chubby (aka Chubs) was pulled from Vidalia Animal Control where she had been held for two years after being picked up as a stray. During those 2 years, she was rarely out of her 10 by 10 kennel. Chubby is now living happily in a foster home placement where she has the chance to run and play on the exercise yard each day. Chubby gets along well with other dogs. She is spayed and up to date on shots. All this girl wants is a home of her own and some love and attention.

Culture: Stories & Lit
At just after noon today a spokesperson for the McBickly family indicated that, following months of negotiation and many setbacks, an agreement had been reached between the McBicklys and their dogs, three Beagles, that would curb the Beagles' explosive response to drivers from FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. The dogs, who represented themselves in the talks, signaled their contentment by sleeping in sunny spots on the McBicklys' living room carpet all afternoon.
Critics of the deal were quick to express their skepticism.
"The dogs got the better of them," said a neighbor whose back yard abuts the McBicklys'. "They were outsmarted."
While details of the arrangement have yet to be set in stone, Tucker and Mindy McBickly acknowledged at a press conference later in the day that the dogs had, in fact, negotiated a number of concessions in return for their pledge of restraint. For one, the Beagles' dinnertime, which had already inched back from 5:00 to 4:15, will be "readjusted" to 3:30 pm.
"We retain absolute control over their feeding schedule," Tucker McBickly insisted, "and over all kibbled and canned products and treats. The readjustment simply means that we'll be feeding a bit earlier." After a pause he added, "And not that we'll be feeding more, as some have alleged. We were firm about this, especially with Ajax, who's a real chowhound."
Onlookers confirmed that Ajax, a manly tricolor with a stunning horseshoe of white across his hindquarters, continued to paw at the kitchen floor next to his food bowl until just moments before he shook hands with Mindy McBickly by way of sealing the deal.
It had been widely reported that Comet, Ajax's junior by about four years, had pushed hard for more frequent walks as a condition of his endorsing the agreement. Eyewitnesses confirmed that Comet would often pop up with a leash in his mouth at dinner parties and other social occasions hosted by the McBicklys, as if to imply that he considered his exercise regimen wanting.
"Then one morning my foot touched something between the sheets at the bottom of the bed," Mindy recounted, wide-eyed. "It was the leash."
"Our son Skyler has agreed to walk Comet three more times a week," Tucker interjected, referring to the McBicklys' 11-year-old, who spent the entirety of the news conference playing Call of Duty on his mother's rose-colored iPhone 6s. A side-bargain stipulates that he will be getting a new device of his own in the fall.
"And the last thing," Tucker said to the gaggle of reporters on his front lawn, "is that my daughter Abigail has agreed to limit the time her hamster, Taylor Swift, spends in the wheel. He observed that the grating of the hamster wheel particularly irritated Alice, the youngest and perhaps the most sensitive of the Beagles.
"What about sanctions?" said a very blonde newsperson, reading the question from a card.
"It's true," said Mindy McBickly, "that after the way they reacted to Amazon deliveries last holiday season, we took a big bucket of toys away from the dogs. If they behave themselves over the next six weeks, we've agreed to slowly reintroduce those toys and add a few more."
The news conference drew to a quick close when Ajax McBickly urinated on a CNN cameraman's Docksiders. "Just marking his territory!" Tucker shouted as the crowd dispersed. "Entirely within the agreement."
Ajax made his way to the kitchen and pawed the floor next to his food bowl. It was precisely 3:30 pm.
Good Dog: Behavior & Training
No, thanks, I have a dog so I'm used to being crowded
I don't have a large personal space, which works out great given the amount of time I spend with dogs. Many dogs choose to be right next to or on top of others in their social circles. Some only act this way with their best friends, but for others, anybody nearby will do.
Personal preferences vary among the canine set, just as they do within our own species. There are certainly dogs who really need space and don't care for a lot of physical contact. Such dogs never try to sit on your head. However, there are lots of dogs who consider any space between themselves and others to be too much distance.
It may not always be pleasant to live with dogs who violate your personal space, but the photographs of them doing it can be pretty hilarious. Here are some excellent examples of such pictures.
Do you have a dog who would rather be on top of (or right next to) you, another dog or even the family cat?
Culture: Stories & Lit
An elderly Pug needs a little help with the day-to-day.
I recently put my dog, Jack, into assisted living. I knew it was time: he has escalating hygiene needs, he wanders, he is confused and he often puts himself in harm's way.
The assisted living facility is lovely. It has wide windows, many of them facing south and east, which let in the warm, chunky beams of sunlight in which Jack loves to nap. There is a pleasant, fenced-in green lawn where he can amble about and pee on flowers. The food is delicious: grain-free kibble twice a day and healthy treats like bits of apple, chicken, carrots and peas. The caretakers are generous, loving people.
The best thing about the facility, though, is the cost. Some assisted-living facilities can be price-prohibitive, but the one we put Jack in is downright affordable. That's because my husband and I are his caretakers and the assisted living facility is our home.
Jack is a Pug. A bug-eyed, brachycephalic, low-riding Pug. He's always been a happy, bright, if somewhat confused little character. But at the age of 13, he began marking his territory, not only outdoors, but indoors as well—piano legs, sofa legs, chair legs. (If nothing else, the anthropomorphic use of the word "legs" for these furniture extensions tells us how wrong it is to pee on them.)
It's not that Jack didn't have the occasional accident when he was younger. It happened. One morning, my husband, rushing out of the house for work, left a note by the coffee machine that read, "Poop by bookcase."
Of course, that note wasn't a directive, an order for me to poop by the bookcase. No, no. It was a straightforward statement of fact, letting me know that there was a pile of poop in front of the bookcase.
I looked at that note and thought, This is just perfect, this is so us. Some spouses might leave a note that said, "Have a nice day," or maybe, "Dinner out later?" But we have our communication down to the nitty-gritty essentials. (I saved that note, in case I ever begin to put on airs. If I start to think, Gosh, we're cool people, I can always pull out the note, "Poop by bookcase" to bring myself back to reality.)
When Jack began marking his territory inside, it was clear he didn't know what he was doing. I scolded him in the beginning, but realized it was mean and senseless to scold a senile dog. It was like scolding a baby, or a fish.
I tried to keep up with the messes. Armed with paper towels and a spray bottle of non-toxic cleaner, I sniffed around the house like a Bloodhound until I'd found and wiped up all the puddles. Though I sprayed the rooms with a "floral" air freshener, there remained a misty background odor of "fetid urine swamp."
I got to the point where I didn't want people to come to our home, and if they did, they absolutely had to be dog people. Eventually, I wouldn't even let dog people in. It was that bad. My husband said a couple of times that our house smelled like a barn, which was so very helpful, Honey. Thank you.
In addition to urinating on his indoor trees, Jack is losing some of his hearing and his sight. Sadly, he sometimes lightly bumps into a table leg while he's heading who-knows-where. He looks humbled and surprised when this happens, shaking his head like a flummoxed cartoon coyote. I can almost see little stars circling his head.
He's also begun to growl viciously at coats and bags left on sofas and tabletops, then seems to wonder why these fiendish intruders pay him no heed.
Though he's failing in some areas, I'm not about to take him to the vet to "put him down." After all, he's still Jack, my cherished friend. He runs happily to his food dish. He jumps onto sofas and chairs and deftly scales their backs like a little mountain goat. He wags his tail when we pet him or rub his belly.
I had to take some kind of action, though, to change our embarrassing situation. I needed the equivalent of assisted living for him. Since there are no such facilities for dogs (at least, not in our area), I had to create one.
The first thing I did was acquire a crate I could confine him in when we weren't home. He'd had a crate as a puppy, but that was long gone. When I put him in the new one, he looked at me with his big bug eyes as though I were dunking him in hot oil instead of on top of a cushy pillow. As soon as he discovered he wasn't going to fry, however, he quickly accommodated himself to it.
I've always heard that dogs feel secure in their crates, and sure enough, Jack now voluntarily goes in his to sleep even when we're home. I assume it's much less scary in there than it is in an increasingly strange world, where walls and furniture move around, where the scenery is foggy and there are faint, unknown sounds.
So the crate helped with the accidents. I've also begun to let Jack outside much more often than I had been. I let him out a lot, in fact. It's like training a puppy. Many times, he looks at me like he's got more on the ball than I think, as if he's saying, "You just let me out five minutes ago, but if this is what floats your boat …"
The third thing I do in our assisted living plan is to shadow him like a private investigator. If he attempts to creep into another room, I follow him, finally speaking loudly, letting him know I'm right above him.
"I'm right here, Jack. Don't you dare." When I do this, he startles and looks up at me, impressed, as if I were some omnipotent god. This trailing is really working. I think he thinks I'm always behind him, even when I'm not.
All of this takes a lot of time, but it's well worth it.
I hope to keep Jack in assisted living as long as possible. I hope he dies here in his sleep one warm evening. I don't ever want to "take him in," or "put him down." I've had to do that with other dogs, and it's one of life's profound heartbreakers—to look into the eyes of an innocent animal as he or she is injected with a heart-stopping barbiturate.
What I really want is for Jack to live forever. Is that too much to ask? To have a soft, furry, breathing, creature by my side always? To feel the warm weight of this exact individual against my legs on cold winter evenings? To have a sure listener to help me bear my version of the world's troubles and sadness?
I know it's too much to ask. Yet, for however long he has left, I'll keep him happy and safe in assisted living. Dinner at four, crafts at six, lights out at eight!

Man posts Craigslist ad rehoming his girlfriend
Several days ago a man posted a Craigslist ad that seemed to be offering a free Beagle to a good home. In the post he explains that his girlfriend wants to get rid of the dog. He proceeds to describe his Beagle pup saying "I have had her 4 years. She likes to play games. Not totally trained. Has long hair so she's a little high maintenance, especially the nails, but she loves having them done." However, by the end of the post we learn that he is in fact rehoming his girlfriend and keeping his dog!
As the ad went viral he updated the post saying it was all a joke and that in reality he's a pitbull owner and his girlfriend loves his dog. He ended his post encouraging one simple message—that adoption is a life long commitment, not just while convienent. It's great that he is using his viral fame to continue to push his message and promote pet adoption.
Way to go, dude!
Culture: The Daily Show
Take this job and love it
Here at The Bark, we're always looking for stories that examine the really big ideas affecting the lives of dogs. Our mission started 15 years ago, when we created the magazine in order to cover the burgeoning dog-park movement.
Recently, we had the opportunity to take our mission indoors — to see how dogs add harmony, fellowship and an atmosphere of well being to a very active and creative workplace. This particular lead came to us, unexpectedly, late last year. The email subject line read "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Dogs," and it came from Renata Luczak, vice president of corporate communications for Comedy Central. Dogs had joined the ranks of The Daily Show, and staffers and others thought it would make a good story for The Bark to cover, and, oh, yes, they are "huge fans of Bark and would be so thrilled to be in it." At Bark central, we were thrilled and flattered, of course, but we also took the story to heart. We were curious if these dogs could have it that much better than other office dogs throughout the land.
To find out, in early spring, I spent the day at The Daily Show offices in New York's Hell's Kitchen, where I met the dogs, sat down with the people, watched a photo shoot and generally saw for myself just how good the show's dogs have it. Here's my report.
This dog-friendly workplace started about 15 years ago with Georgia Pappas, then the show's production manager, and her Tibetan Terrier, Cosmo. Fortunately for Pappas and Cosmo, Jon Stewart is crazy about dogs. Double fortunate, the show's offices and studio are in a building managed by Adriane Truex, who shares Stewart's canine appreciation. Permission was quickly granted, and it didn't take long for more dogs to follow.
These days, the first thing new employees, show guests and visitors notice are the dogs. Free-ranging and ubiquitous, they have become an integral part of the office landscape: roaming, playing or lying about, with toys scattered everywhere. They attend staff meetings, share office chairs, charm the celeb guests — in short, The Daily Show is pretty much dog nirvana.
How else would you define a place where dogs get attention from almost everyone, visit their friends, climb on couches or snuggle up in one of the numerous spare beds that people put in their cubicles to entice doggie visitations? Lunch is a particularly busy time. Christy and Vilma in the accounting department observed that the dogs often start in Stewart's office (which they can freely visit), hit all the "tidbit" spots, then make their way upstairs to accounting for one more morsel and a nap on their couch.
Meet the Dogs
For co-executive producer Jen Flanz, whose family has always had dogs, this inviting atmosphere inspired her to adopt Parker, a Lab mix, from Manhattan Animal Care & Control. Parker seems to win the hearts of everyone she meets, both dog lovers and those who might not yet be. She's had a lot of training with Jen, and quickly became a regular who, along with Kweli, introduces the newcomer pups to office-dog protocol. All the dogs soak up and bask in the attention they get, from most everyone who works there.
As Jen observes, the only downside is that "our dogs are used to being here, being around people all day, running around and getting attention from a hundred people. So when we have time off, she bounces off the walls. They get so much activity and stimulation here."
Artistic coordinator, Justin Chabot got his Golden Retriever, Kweli, when he was still a student in Boston, and started Kweli's off-leash training during their late-night forays for a place to park his van. As Justin recalls, "I would stop at an intersection, make him sit and stay, and walk back across the street and wait until the light changed. Then I'd say 'OK, let's cross.' Now, he walks with me and never goes into the street — he never steps off the sidewalk without me being there. He's off-leash even in Times Square." Another handy trick that Justin easily taught the bright and relaxed Kweli is how to ride steady and calm on the back of his bicycle and motorcycle. He made Kweli a co-pilot seat from an old milk crate, which the dog sits in during their commute down the West Side Highway from Harlem; they turn a quite a few heads as they go by.
Supervising producer Tim Green-berg's Ally, a rescue Pointer-mix, is a more recent addition. When Tim first adopted Ally, she had fear issues, so he did a lot of concentrated training with her. Initially, he only brought her in on slow days, then, gradually added more time to her "work" schedule. He's convinced that the training built up her self-confidence, and is the best way to maintain it. When Ally first met Kweli, Tim says, "she tried to eat from his bowl, he snapped at her and since then, they've established their relationship — she looovvves him." Like Parker, Ally flirts with Kweli constantly and shamelessly.
Good training is essential to making the office-dog dynamic work. Everyone knows that having their dogs in the office is a privilege, one they don't want to lose. As Jen observes, "We all feel this responsibility to keep the dogs pretty well-behaved. If someone comes in and thinks this is a free-for-all, they would be mistaken." Tim adds that "like the show itself, there really is a strict discipline underlying what looks like a free-form." From my perspective, it seemed that the office camaraderie, conviviality and general bonhomie — laughter can be heard everywhere — inspires and affects both the people and the dogs.
The Guests
The dogs may have their own opinions, which they sometimes seem to register. For example, Jim Margolis' dog, Aunt Blanche, once peed (just this once) on the floor outside the green room when Sharon Stone was visiting, he thinks his dog was expressing her opinion about "Basic Instinct 2." (Such accidents are rare, however.) So far, the only guest to bring a dog on the set has been Ted Koppel, who came with his granddog, a little black pup named Pepper.
The Benefits
Matt Palidoro, whose cousin owns a dog bakery and keeps him supplied with treats for his officemates, says, "The dogs are a huge perk on the job. If you see two dogs playing with each other, you can decompress easily."
This group seems to function on some kind of organic, village-like level, with everyone looking out for and being somewhat involved in raising the "village's" dogs. For example, it's easy for the dog people to ask colleagues to handle an occasional dog-sitting stint. So many of the non-dog owners, including correspondent Wyatt Cenac, have stories about times they hosted one of the dogs while their people were out of town. Talk about a benefit!
All in all, as Tim Greenberg describes it, "This is a giant dog playground. The dogs run around, and there are at least eight to 10 treat stations throughout the office. Ally's got her own schedule of things she does. She gets exercise running up and back. The only thing that would make it better is if there were grass and squirrels [inside]."
Who, after all, could blame the dogs for anything? In Stewart's opinion, all the dogs there are "really the cream of the crop, all have been to military school, their behavior is impeccable, their manners are impeccable, their English is impeccable." Plus, "Who doesn't love the dogs?" There is nothing better than dogs, and they bring out the best in us too. Nothing better. Confirming my observation that everyone has a ball here, he added that, "obviously we'll take you to the reptile room after this."
Dog's Life: Lifestyle
How to wear one with style
I've never liked the term "cone of shame." That's in part because a medical device that helps keep dogs safe has no business being associated with derogatory names. It's also because I see no reason that dogs should ever be ashamed or made to feel so.
Perhaps that's why I was especially delighted to see these examples of pets whose time in a cone was treated light-heartedly. Decorating these accessories made each and every one of the dogs (and cats) look charming without a trace of the woebegone, pathetic images so often presented in such situations. These dogs really know how to rock the cone!
I must admit that few of the dogs look thrilled. They may be out of sorts because of the cone or whatever issue caused them to need one in the first place. The extra decorations may be unwelcome, especially for the dog whose cone is full of stuffed animals. Some of the dogs may simply not like being stared at and photographed.
My favorite photos are of the dog who is part of the Pixar logo, the one in couture Burberry, and the dog with a top hat and pipe. The assorted coneflowers are pretty endearing, too. Making the cones fun and decorative definitely affects the way people view the dogs, taking shame out of the situation, which I like.
You've got to love the last photo of an absolutely cheerful dog with a bare cone. This dog needs no decoration other than that happy face. Some dogs can't be brought down!

Interview with the venerable New Yorker cartoonist
Charles Barsotti has been staff cartoonist at The New Yorker since 1970, and for more than three decades, has been entertaining us with his distinctive rounded pups (one of whom
he's dubbed Buster). Rendered in deceptively simple lines, his cartoon dogs engage in utterly human tasks, and their fans are legion—one of them, Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, told him in a letter that he hoped someone would collect all of Barsotti's "little dog cartoons" in a book one day. And now, with the release of They Moved My Bowl, they have. We were pleased that Mr. Barsotti agreed to be interviewed—like his cartoon punch lines, his answers to our questions were short, witty and to the point.
Bark: What makes a good dog cartoon?
B: What is it about dogs going about human tasks that's so funny?
B: We see that you dedicated your new book, They Moved My Bowl, to the memory of Jiggs, "the world's greatest dog." Can you tell us about Jiggs?
B: Tell us about your two dogs, Chloe and Buster.
B: Can you talk about your drawing style? It's so simple but perfect.
B: Your cartoons are sweet and smart but never syrupy or corny—no mean feat when it comes to dog cartoons. How do you manage that?
B: Tell us about your idea of dog heaven.

Study shows dog people laugh more
Do you enjoy a good laugh with your dog? If so, apparently you are not alone. So writes New York Times long-time health columnist Jane Brody on one of the many benefits her new dog Max contributes to her life. Brody's recent article champions the many perks of "life with a dog"—companionship, exercise, meeting people and laughter. She cites a study of 95 people who were asked to keep "laughter" logs and record the frequency and source of their laughter. Results showed that dog owners laughed frequently more than cat owners and people who owned neither. The findings suggest a complex relationship between pet ownership and laughter. Dogs may serve as friends with whom to laugh or their behaviors may provide a greater source of laughter. Does this resonate with Bark readers? How does your dog make you laugh?
Last week, we marked that annual day of grins and laughter—April 1—with an in-box full of pranks. Jokey press releases, outlandish news reports and faux announcements tried to outduel each other for guffaws. Given the nature of our business, many were dog-themed.

Dear Adoptable Dog:
Please find attached my curriculum vitae, submitted for consideration for the position as your person. As you can see from my history, I have a lengthy and proven track record of excellence and responsibility in all aspects of pet worship. I can provide documentation in the form of photo albums, memorial stones, clothes with muddy paw-print stains and memories etched in my heart.
I am not only hard-working and have a great sense of humor, I firmly believe in three things: bringing home a fresh-roasted, grocery-store chicken every week (yes, the kind you will smell before I round the last corner); giving you your bedding right out of the dryer when it's at its warmest and fluffiest; and finally (my most fervently held belief when it comes to dogs), never talking on a cell phone while walking a dog.
I hope you will consider me for the position.

In roughly two weeks, my dog Fletcher will be very sad.
And, he will most likely be going through withdrawal.
I say that because I fear Fletcher is addicted to eating cicadas. Granted, the dog has a well-documented history of eating bizarre things (even his vet has been amazed) but this is different. Prior to the cicadas arriving, I would have described Fletcher as your quintessential Golden Retriever. Friendly, good-natured and eager to please, he is simply a joy to have around. He comes quickly when called, insists on being by my side at all times and, honestly, likes me better than anything else in his world. Or so I thought. As a psychologist I'm trained to recognize addictive behavior and, in the past month, I've seen some disturbing signs from Fletcher.
Addiction has telltale signs. Addicts become fixated and pushy in their attempts to obtain their fix. They will travel to forbidden places to find what they think they need. They refuse to listen and will ignore the pleas of loved ones begging them to stop.
Normally sociable, they now prefer to spend their time pursuing their fix. Sometimes, they don't even try to hide their use. You catch them in the act and they show no remorse, no shame. Often, they don't even seem to care about your reaction. Many addicts are able to overcome their obsession but there is always the danger of replacing one addiction for another.
Maybe I'm overanalyzing so you decide. Here's Fletcher's recent behavior.
Normally the only time Fletcher lets me know he really wants to go outside is when he spots his nemesis, the chipmunk. Then he stands by the door and wines but if I ignore him, he soon stops. Now, after being outside for the first time of the day (apparently after getting his morning taste of the cicadas), Fletcher stands by the door, paces, whines loudly, then frantically searches the house for me. (The first time he did this, I thought something was very wrong, like a fire broke out or an intruder—seriously—he was that insistent). And Fletcher will not stop pestering me until I let him outside. Does that sound pushy and fixated?
There's more. Usually Fletcher enjoys hanging out in the back yard, exploring the entire area, being careful to stay out of the flowerbeds (where he is forbidden to go). After about fifteen minutes he will sit by the door and patiently wait for me to let him back inside. Not anymore. After spotting Fletcher nosing around in my flowerbed, I repeatedly call him, but I'm ignored. I see he is eating something and beg him to stop.
Finally, he raises his head, chewing and swallowing quickly, and there is dirt around his mouth and nose. Fletcher looks at me like he has never seen me before in his life. I walk over to him, scold him, but he doesn't seem to care. I take him by his collar and begin to lead him back to the house. Fletcher resists and I realize that he would rather be somewhere else than with me. I am heartbroken.
I am hopeful all this will change once the cicadas are gone and I'll have my old dog back. The psychologist in me knows that recovery from addiction is difficult because once you're hooked on something it is hard to give it up. Oftentimes addicts unwittingly substitute one addictive behavior for another so as not to miss the thrill of it all. I suspect this will be true of Fletcher as well.
You see, as I was walking Fletcher back to the house, I said to him, "You know, once the cicadas are gone you'll have to go cold turkey to get over them."
Fletcher jerked his head around to face me and with a gleam in his eye gave me a look that said, "Did you just say turkey?!"

Location: St. Alexander Catholic Church
Organization: West Suburban Faith-based Peace Coalition
MORE INFO: http://www.faithpeace.org
Description: WSFPC is honored to announce Father John Dear as the keynote speaker at our 8th Annual Gathering, Saturday March 5th, at St. Alexander Catholic Church in Villa Park. Fr. Dear's talk is titled "The Beatitudes at the Pathway to Peace: walking the way of nonviolence"
This event is free and open to the public
John is an internationally known voice for peace and nonviolence, perhaps the leading voice for peace in the Catholic Church today. A Jesuit priest, peace activist, and lecturer, he served as the director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (the largest interfaith peace organization in the nation); a Red Cross coordinator of chaplains in New York City at the Family Assistance Center after September 11; he also pastors several Catholic churches in the deserts of New Mexico. He has written over twenty books, including his recent "Put Down Your Sword," as well as his autobiography, "A Persistent Peace." He received the 2010 Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award as well as the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award in September 2009 for his solidarity and leadership in nonviolent resistance. He is a practitioner of active nonviolence, recently participating in the protest use of U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He writes a weekly column for the National Catholic Reporter. You can read his peace writings online at www.ncronline.org.
The keynote address will be followed by Dances of Universal Peace, led by Brother Joseph Kilikevice, O.P. The dances are a joyful form of prayer, creating community while inviting participants to experience—with breath, voice and body—the spiritual wisdom found in ancient sacred phrases, and their meanings. Brother Joe is Director of the Shem Center for Interfaith Spirituality in Oak Park, IL.
The afternoon will include prayers, songs, and exhibits by local peace organizations. We are truly honored that Father Dear and Brother Joe can join us for this memorable afternoon. It will be a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of nonviolence, rejuvenate our spirits, and recommit ourselves to the work of peace for the coming year.
Please pass this announcement along to friends and colleagues who might like to attend. All are welcome.

Help! What Are Good Dishes for a Graduation Brunch?
I'm thinking mostly things I can make in advance and maybe pop in the oven that morning. Unfortunately, I don't usually cook breakfast/brunch or for large groups, so I don't really know what those things are.
Sent by Leah
Editor: Leah, brunch is our favorite meal for a crowd. It's very easy to make a lot of brunch dishes ahead of time. For this particular meal, we would suggest making a couple big trays of an egg and vegetable casserole. Check out this roundup for some ideas:
• Fresh and Light: 12 Modern Breakfast Casseroles
Then make a big fruit salad (again, ahead of time) and have it ready in the fridge.
• Lemon and Honey Fruit Salad
• Try This! Sweet "Vinaigrette" for Fruit Salad
• Making Fruit Salad Fun: Chinese Fruit Forks
Finish off with some sweet rolls or rich bread bought from a bakery, and some orange juice. For a special touch, mix the orange juice with a few bottles of club soda and a little pear or grapefruit juice. Garnish with limes or lemons.
Also check out Elizabeth's great post about planning brunch ahead:

Readers, any specific recipes or tips for Leah?

Dec 20, 2011 The House and Senate's respective anti-online piracy bills, SOPA and PIPA, have stirred controversy over internet censorship.
Firefox now has an add-on, DeSopa, that circumvents the bill's DNS blocking. DeSopa, created by developer T Rizk, is a simple Firefox extension that allows internet users to revert to using a site's IP (internet protocol) address, thereby bypassing DNS blockades of foreign websites such as The Pirate Bay. At the Firefox DeSopa download page, the add-on is described as such, "DNS Evasion to Stop Oppressive Policy in America." T Rizk told TorrentFreak, "I feel that the general public is not aware of the gravity of SOPA and Congress seems like they are about to cater to the special interests involved, to the detriment of Internet, for which I and many others live and breathe," adding that it will serve as proof that SOPA will not work and hopefully help Congress come to its senses.

My credit card company called me a few hours later stating that i had suspicious activity on the card and turns out kasamba.com charged me for 23.75 for the session not the 5 dollars as legaly stated and to make it worse from out of the United States.
This company is sick and should be brought down as quick as possible. It is unfair and legally unjust to charge for more than documented or said in the disclaimer i was told the account set up was free and that i would pay a dollar twenty five for each minute. No hidden fee's as i could see in the contract.
I feel that legal action must be taken against this company as soon as possible and I would challenge any employee from Kasamba to say otherwise. You people cost the helpless thousands upon thousands of dollars for useless information that is shared from "expert" to "expert". Please someone help me bring this scum to the ground.

#1 UPDATE Employee
How Kasamba Bills
AUTHOR: That Girl - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 15, 2007POSTED: Monday, October 15, 2007
And for anyone that didnt know Kasamba is a HEBREW word, The company was owned by two men from Isreal, and was priviately held. So the fact that they billed out of Isreal isnt some great conspriracy. IF it makes anyone happier, they were just recently bought by an American company. So the billing should start to reflect the new owners billing which doesnt hold any big hopes for me as an expert.

Kasamba bills out of Israel
AUTHOR: Bettie - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 20, 2007POSTED: Saturday, January 20, 2007
My bank agreed to do a ONE time charge back on over $400 dollar in charges from Kasamba (that were fraudulent), but advised me that they would not give me no further concessions related to Kasamba charges.
My advice:
If it is credit card charge, contest the charge with your credit card company.
If it is a debit card, contest the charge with your bank.
If it is Paypal, I doubt that Paypal will assist you since it is a SERVICE.
Anyway, you can contest the charges. I would advise not using a credit/debit card for use with Kasamba. If you must use these FAKE psychics, put $20.00 in a Paypal account and use that to deal with Kasamaba FAKE psychics.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

|Tuukka Rask will make the trip to Washington, but Adam McQuaid won't
|04.15.12 at 6:59 pm ET
The Bruins' regulars stayed off the ice Sunday, as the team elected to rest up after playing overtime games Thursday and Saturday before Monday's Game 3 against the Capitals.
At Sunday's media availability, coach Claude Julien said that Tuukka Rask, who has missed the first two games of the series with an abdomen/groin injury, will make the trip to the nation's capital. Adam McQuaid (upper-body) will not.
"He's not going to make the trip," Julien said. "He's going to stay here and continue to get treatment because ight now he's not ready to go on the ice, so he's going to continue treatment. When he's ready to start working out with the team then we'll bring him with us."
|Adam McQuaid misses practice again
|04.13.12 at 2:19 pm ET
Aside from David Krejci (stiff neck), defenseman Adam McQuaid was the only player missing from Friday's Bruins practice. He hasn't skated all week, so it would appear his status for Saturday's Game 2 against the Capitals would be unlikely.
McQuaid is still dealing with an upper-body injury. He has not played since April 5.
|Adam McQuaid to miss Game 1 vs. Capitals with upper-body injury
|04.11.12 at 12:36 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins finally gave a little more news on Adam McQuaid.
McQuaid missed practice for the third straight day Wednesday at Ristuccia Arena. After the skate, B's coach Claude Julien announced that McQuaid, who is dealing with an upper-body injury, will not be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Capitals Thursday.
Johnny Boychuk and Tuukka Rask practiced for the B's once again, with Julien saying the team will make a decision on Boychuk's status Thursday
|Adam McQuaid misses third straight practice
|at 10:51 am ET
WILMINGTON — The lines and attendees of Wednesday's practice was unchanged for the Bruins, as Adam McQuaid remained the only absence. McQuaid is still out with what the team is calling an upper-body injury.
Here are the lines:
Milan Lucic ' David Krejci ' Rich Peverley
Brad Marchand ' Patrice Bergeron ' Tyler Seguin
Benoit Pouliot ' Chris Kelly ' Brian Rolston
Daniel Paille/Jordan Caron ' Gregory Campbell ' Shawn Thornton
Zdeno Chara ' Dennis Seidenberg
Andrew Ference ' Johnny Boychuk

|Proactive Claude Julien says 'nothing's changed' with Adam McQuaid
|04.10.12 at 1:05 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid was once again absent from Bruins practice on Tuesday as he continues to deal with what the team is calling an upper-body injury.
Things got testy between coach Claude Julien and the media Monday regarding the defenseman's status and what the identity of the injury, and on Tuesday Julien addressed injuries prior to taking questions.
"Guys, before we get going," Julien said, "Injury update: It's the same as yesterday. Nothing's changed, and that's where we are."
McQuaid was initially hurt when he went into the end boards head-first in the Bruins' March 29 game against the Capitals on a hit from Capitals winger Jason Chimera. The defenseman cut his eye on the play, which led to swelling. He tried to return last Thursday against the Senators while wearing a visor, but left the game in the second period. The team considers him to be day-to-day.
Johnny Boychuk (knee) and Tuukka Rask (abdomen/groin) both practiced Tuesday for the second consecutive day.
|Adam McQuaid absent again, Bruins work on power play
|at 11:28 am ET
WILMINGTON – Adam McQuaid was once again absent from Bruins' practice Tuesday, as the defenseman is still out with what the team is now calling an upper-body injury.
The lines and defensive pairings were the same as Monday, and both Tuukka Rask and Johnny Boychuk were on the ice with full participation. Mike Mottau served as the seventh defenseman.
Here are the lines and defensive pairings:
Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Rich Peverley
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Benoit Pouliot – Chris Kelly – Brian Rolston
Daniel Paille/Jordan Caron – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton
Zdeno Chara – Dennis Seidenberg
Andrew Ference – Johnny Boychuk
Greg Zanon – Joe Corvo
The B's got a good amount of power play work in as well. The units are as follows.
PP1: Chara, Corvo, Krejci, Lucic, Rolston
PP2: Seidenberg, Peverley, Bergeron, Marchand, Seguin
According to the Washington Post, here are the lines from Tuesday's practice. Note that Marcus Johansson is not on the first line with Alexander Ovechkin and Brooks Laich. Instead, Troy Brouwer is skating on the right wing on Washington's top line.

|Secretive Claude Julien says Adam McQuaid's status is 'up in the air'
|04.09.12 at 1:03 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid did not participate in Monday's practice at Ristuccia Arena, the only notable absence for the B's as they prepare for the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
McQuaid went into the end boards head-first in the Bruins' March 29 game against the Capitals, with the Bruins defenseman cutting his eye, which led to swelling. He tried to return last Thursday against the Senators while wearing a visor, but left the game in the second period.
The plot thickened a bit regarding his actual injury after Monday's practice, as Claude Julien would not term McQuaid's injury an eye injury, but an "upper-body injury." Asked whether the team was treating the injury as a concussion, Julien declined response.
"Peter [Chiarelli] addressed [McQuaid's status] yesterday, and every day we keep going back to the same guys," Julien said. "It's day-to-day. It's playoff time, and it's day-to-day, so that's all I'm going to say about it."
Both Johnny Boychuk and Tuukka Rask returned to practice Monday. Rask faced shots, while Boychuk took regular turns in line rushes and took physical contact. Julien feels the two players are headed in the right direction, but noted it's a tougher call with McQuaid.
"His situation is up in the air," Julien said. "It could be resolved soon or later. Right now, as I told you guys the other day, we're use being cautious. He's day-to-day, and cautious is the approach we've taken."

I see so many posts on BBC about how people hate their MIL.
Do most people hate their MIL?
IRL, I know people who can't stand their MIL for certain reasons, but then don't mind if their own mothers do the same thing. Is this a double standard?
I love my MIL!!! I see her every morning when I drop off my kids so I can go to work early.
She was a MAJOR help in planning my wedding and even went to birthing classes with me, lol. Very awesome!

well she is now my xmil, but I still talk to her on the phone quite often. We always got along but I don't think she really ever liked me UNTIL my x left me for someone else. I guess she realized I was not the douchebag in the relationship, her son was LOL. I also have an xsmil and she is OK just talks alot and has alot of issues. my xfil is awesome and i wish i could marry him. I still call them all my inlaws not my x inlaws. as we are all still pretty close. I do however really dislike my xh sister. she is a phony fakeass bitch and i dont play that game very well.
my mom was a BAD mil and my x dealt with it pretty good though considering how crazy she is.
Crying doesn't help anything, try your luck with violent mood swings
Add me to the love my MIL. She is the best - she love all her kids, ILs, and grandchildren equally.
Grow up, Raj. There's no place for truth on the Internet.
I like my MIL just fine...she lives in China, doesn't speak a word of English and I haven't seen her in 9 years.

We got along great the first 5 years but in the last year she has gone CRAZY (menopause and what I believe to be a controlling relationship)!!! Because of her not so great relationship she has started to treat my DH like crap. I have a lot of resentment towards her because of how she treats him. I hope she can pull her head out her a** soon because before this she was a great person and we were really close!

I am both respectful and nice to my MIL. In fact, when I left her house, I was very nice about it. I told her that it was OK and I would talk to her later. I am too mad to talk to her still, LOL. But, I will eventually, I am just angry at her right now. And it's been 2 months, mind you, she told my SO that we left for another reason then it really was, and still hasn't appologized for going completely NUTS when we were there. I wish I wasn't so mad because there is a chance that she is getting alzheimer's and is acting that way because of it. I feel bad being mad, but there is a large chance that I will no longer be able to see my Grandma before she dies. Fuck, I need to tell the story now, don't I? LOL.
This summer I had a ton going on and I was stressed to the max. Well, my MIL wanted to see the granchildren, so she offered for us to go see her. Well, we did, and it was great for the first while. She promised to take my kids to all these places and have a great time. She also promised to watch my kids while I went to see my Grandma before she dies. Well, I went there, and she decided that she wasn't going to take the kids anywhere that she promised, she refused to take them so that I could go see my Grandma (very sick, so I didn't want to take the kids). About a week into my visit (sopposed to be there for 2 weeks), she had a complete fit for whatever reason (she didn't tell me), came into the room I was with my kids and my SDD, ripped the phone off the wall, threw it across the room and stormed out. So, around 8:00, I fed my son what I could (salad, it was the only thing I knew where it was) because I had no idea what she was making for dinner, and he fell asleep. She eventually came in and made dinner about 9:00 for us all, and I was so mad at the tantrum that I could hardly talk to her, but I said good night and went to sleep. The next morning I find a letter telling me that I need to leave early because she doesn't want to "resent me". Not to mention that she didn't want us to return until my kids were "properly house trained, her words, not mine. She also told me that it should be my idea so she doesn't look like the bad guy. I left that day, kids dissapointed because she didn't do anything she promised with them, me sad because I will probably never see my Grandma again, and pissed off that things had to go the way they did. She later called my SO and said that I couldn't take her anymore so went to see my sister for a few days. I ended up home, and I did not see my sister. I was sopposed to see my sister the next weekend when I went home from my vaccation.
Oh, and I told the kids that we were teaving because of Grandma. I wasn't taking hte blame.
Becky-"No woman will ever be truly satisfied because no man will ever have a�Chocolate penis that ejaculates money."�
I do like my MIL. I think she could be a little more involved with my kids, but otherwise she's ok. I've known her for a long time before DH and I got married.
My FIL in the one that has always bugged me, but right now we are kind of at a truce I guess.

my mil, she acts like the sweet old lady in front of my kids, but as soon as they are gone....well shes has two sides and she doesnt like me thats for sure i wouldnt dream of treating anyone in my family the way she treats me or my hubby, but if i ask her why....along come the tears and the i try speach, until i feel bad then .....whosh mil from hell is back lol :)

Interdisciplinary research network, meets annually, fosters collaboration and publishes on drawing and cognition. @drawCogs #drawingandcognition, #TtD
We've just completed our third international Thinking through Drawing conference, at The Metropolitan Museum and Teachers College, Columbia University. We asked the question: 'What is drawing for?' and got a wonderful range of answers, some of which you can see on our Facebook page. This followed up on Thinking through Drawing 2012: Drawing in STEAM at Wimbledon College of Art , London. That event brought together artists, educators, scientists, medical practitioners, philosophers, engineers, computer scientists, and more, to examine the uses of drawing across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths.
These symposia grew out of discussions on drawing and cognition, which began at the Drawing Research Network's 2010 conference, between Angela Brew (UAL), Michelle Fava (Loughborough), and Andrea Kantrowitz (Teachers College).

[8267] added the ability to force an SQL insert (or force an update) via a model's save() method.
The same force_insert and force_update flags should be supported in a modelform's save() method.
These flags enable better control over some edge cases - e.g. force_insert will prevent overwriting existing data if the same primary key has accidentally been specified.

The patch one-more.diff is the most recent, and contains all required changes.
I notice that the two helper functions make_model_save and make_instance_save are not used anywhere in Django, so are probably legacy which could be removed. I haven't done this here - just patched them along with the rest.

After this patch ModelForm.save() signature will be different from Form.save(). Is this ok?
Desired effect can already be achieved with
