Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Love the looks, love the fit. I recieved the order the same week that I ordered them! True to size and very comfortable!
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
These boots are very cute! They need to be broken in before you dance in them! Wear leggings or long socks tucked in because they are very stiff at the top! Great quality shoe, and seem like they will last a long time!
I bought these for my teenage daughter's hiphop class. She's been dancing for 10 years. She loved them for the first couple of classes and then the sole on the first shoe came off almost entirely and the second one was starting to come off. We reglued them on but I will definitely not go this route again. :( It's a shame because she loved how comfortable they were and the easy on off with the zipper.
Age: 30-39
I was really nerves about ordering these cause I didn't see a sizing chart, but I went ahead & ordered them in my street shoes & they fit fine. They're alittle heavy for doing floor exercises that involve lifting your legs, but for actual dancing they are perfect.
Age: 19-21

The Stewart Stainless Outlaw Stocks offer some of the closest competition on any given Saturday night at the Bridgeport Speedway.
The Outlaw Stocks are a division that most resemble the cars that we see on the street every day. Most are car chassis from the 1980s – like Monte Carlos and Camaros. Only cars manufactured in the US are eligible.
All trucks, convertibles, vans and station wagons are excluded from eligibility. The Outlaw Stocks may be the least powerful of the three divisions that regularly compete on Bridgeport's 5/8th mile speedway but they do provide plenty of wheel to wheel and side by side action.
The cars are very basic, using mostly stock components. They must retain their stock appearance.
Engines, suspension, tires and wheels must be stock for the make and model of the car but racing springs and aftermarket shocks are permitted. Engines are limited to a maximum of 360 cubic inches.
The car must weigh 3200 pounds with the driver making the Outlaw Stock several hundreds of pounds heavier than the Big Block Modifieds or Crate/Sportsman cars. They are, of course, modified for racing with roll cages and other safety equipment.
The Stewart Stainless Outlaw Stocks have competed four times so far this season. Brick, NJ driver Ron Frees picked up the wins in the first three races of the season with Jeramy Doerr of Richland winning the most recent event this past Saturday night. Frees finished second to Doerr while Doerr has finished second, twice and also has a third place finish so far.
Doerr has been very competitive in every event – he has even been involved in incidents on the track, restarted in the rear of the field and still managed to finish second. Following his first win of the season, Doerr admitted to taking a "starting over" approach to his preparation this past week.
"My car was awesome," the feature winner stated. "We started over this week. We took the suspension completely out of the car and started over." And part of the difference this week, the driver admitted, he didn't make any mistakes.
"I've made some mistakes the last couple of weeks. I've just been trying too hard," Doerr explained.
Ron Frees knows all about that kind of preparation. While there are some who think that it is money that makes the difference between the winners and non-winners, Frees doesn't agree.
"We all have the same basic stuff," Frees explains. "It's how they use it. We work on things like tire pressure, stagger and how the weight is placed in the car. Some people really put time and effort into it. For some it's an obsession for others it is a hobby or past time."
The Stewart Stainless Outlaw Stocks will be back in action this Saturday night at the Bridgeport Speedway along with the Spirit Dodge Big Block Modifieds, the 811 Dig Safely Crate/Sportsman and the DA's Auto Body & Repair Rookies.
The Modifieds will compete in two feature events – they will complete the feature that was postponed due to rain last week in addition a complete regular show. There will be Mother's Day Flowers for the moms who attend and it's $1 Hot Dog Night at the track.
All this for the regular low admission of $15. Racing action starts at 6:30.
Four divisions will compete on the quarter mile track on Friday night. The 600cc & 270cc Micros, Slingshots and 4 Cylinders will get underway at 8pm.

We acknowledge the efforts of Peterson et al,1 Ogedegbe et al,2 and Mancuso et al3 in developing randomized controlled trials to test the effects of an intervention that was designed to increase positive affect and self-affirmation on sustained health-behavior change. Aligned with psychosocial models of behavior change, patients in both groups received an educational workbook relevant to the clinical focus of the study, a behavioral contract committing them to behavior change, and bimonthly telephone calls intended to assist them in overcoming perceived barriers to change. Also, patients in the intervention group received small gifts and were encouraged to incorporate positive, self-affirming thoughts into their daily lives during the bimonthly telephone calls. Across the 3 trials, results showed that the intervention had a significant effect on physical activity at 12 months among patients after percutaneous coronary intervention1 but not among patients with asthma3 and that the intervention had a significant effect on medication adherence at 12 months but not on reduction in blood pressure among hypertensive African American patients.2 Such findings are the first (to our knowledge) to show a salubrious effect of induced positive affect on sustained behavior change in a clinical population.

ATLANTA (AP) - Ryan Leaf has worked hard to erase his bad-boy image. Now, he's got another chance to show if he can be a winning quarterback in the NFL.
Leaf will make his first start Sunday in Dallas' quarterback merry-go-round when the Cowboys (2-5) meet the Falcons (3-4) at the Georgia Dome.
Leaf, the second pick in the 1998 draft behind Peyton Manning, wore out his welcome in San Diego with boorish behavior and poor play. After he failed to make the roster in Tampa Bay, the Cowboys gave him a chance.
Now, just four weeks into the job, Leaf is getting to start. He may be running out of second-chances.
"It may even be more precious in the sense in that one day you're here, and one day you're not," he said.
This is the first time Dallas has started four quarterbacks in the same season. Leaf will actually be the fourth starter in five weeks, following Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright and Clint Stoerner.
Carter and Wright are injured. Stoerner lost the job after throwing interceptions on four straight drives, including two in the end zone, during a 27-24 overtime loss to the New York Giants last week.
"We felt it would be four to six weeks before Ryan could start," coach Dave Campo said. "Well, this is the fourth week. We feel confident he can do the job."
Still, knowing he's on an accelerated curve to learn an entirely new system, Leaf will wear a wristband to help him remember the playbook terminology.
"The most bothersome thing is calling the plays," he said. "It's pretty wordy. I'll put them on my wrist so I can call them out. Instead of spending time learning the offense, I can spend time studying the defense."
The Falcons hope to make things difficult for Leaf, perhaps borrowing a thing or two from New England.
Last week, the Patriots blitzed and blitzed and blitzed some more in a 24-10 victory at Atlanta. Chris Chandler was sacked six times and finally knocked out of the game with a rib injury. Rookie Michael Vick played the final quarter and, despite his speed, went down three more times.
"No quarterback likes it when you get in their face," Falcons linebacker Keith Brooking said. "That creates indecision. We can definitely create some problems for Leaf if we get in his face."
If Emmitt Smith could play, it would take some of the pressure off Leaf. But the second-leading rusher in NFL history sat out last week because of a sprained right knee and is questionable for Sunday's game.
Smith, who has never missed two straight games because of injury in his 12-year career, wouldn't mind taking handoffs from yet another starting QB.
"He's just another guy we have to get comfortable with and get used to," Smith said. "I wouldn't necessarily call it turmoil. I'd call it turnover."
At least Leaf and the Cowboys won't be facing an overly hostile crowd on the road. Atlanta is expecting its first sellout of the season, but only because thousands of Dallas fans bought up tickets.
About the best the Falcons can hope for is a 60-40 split in their favor.
"When Dallas makes a play, I know we're going to hear cheers," Atlanta cornerback Ray Buchanan said. "I'm jealous. So many people live here, but they don't support their team. Tradition starts with fans."
"The Cowboys are having a losing season, but their fans are still showing up. It's the same in Washington and Buffalo. Through thick and thin, the fans are there for them."
That's not the case in Atlanta - even in the family section.
Last week, an embarrassing dispute broke out involving Chandler's wife, Diane, who took issue with people who cheered her husband's injury. According to some accounts, those cheers came from people in receiver Shawn Jefferson's party.
Chris Chandler insisted that none of his teammate's family members were involved, but also said he wishes his wife would just stay home on Sunday.
"We have no problem within the team," Chandler said. "That's been blown way out of proportion. Within the team, we're as tight as we've always been. It's just people who go to the games. That's where the problem lies."
Chandler hopes to play this week, though cartilage and muscle damage in his ribs prompted the Falcons to give Vick extensive practice time with the No. 1 offense.
The rookie said he's ready to make his first pro start if needed.
"I hope Chris can play," Vick said. "But I've got to ready for any situation."

edit: I do like the NO MOVEMENT rule though! That seems to help us a little, it kind of forces a team to ditch a current (possibly over paid) goalie right now and if noone claims that guy off waivers, the team claiming Nabby is STILL responsible for the cap hit of the cut player... Cross your fingers!

UNECE Inland Transport Committee Discusses Climate Change Impacts
4 March 2011: The 73rd annual session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which convened from 1-3 March 2011, in Geneva, Switzerland, addressed, inter alia, the impact of climate change on the transport sector.
The Committee noted that climate change negatively impacts the UNECE region, as evidenced by the number and intensity of extreme weather events recorded in 2010 that considerably hindered transport operations in many countries. Discussions focused on the need to increase mitigation efforts, such as the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, as well as adaptation and risk management measures. To this end, the Committee established a Group of Experts to study adaptation measures to the climate change impacts on international transport networks and to prepare policy recommendations.
The ITC also recalled the role of the UNECE's World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations in the development of regulations that contribute to improved vehicles safety and environmental performance. It noted that, in 2010, the Forum focused on further improving fuel efficiency of engines and reducing carbon dioxide emissions of motor vehicles, with new provisions for rolling resistance of tyres that reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, the Committee highlighted that the UNECE is implementing a UN Development Account-funded global project aimed at the development of a monitoring and assessment tool for carbon dioxide emissions in inland transport to facilitate climate change mitigation.

Immune System: Overview in Humans
There are two types of immune response: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Both types work together to keep you healthy. The cells of the human immune system originate from stem cells in important key organs in the body: early in life from the liver, and later the bone marrow. The bone marrow continues to produce new cells throughout a person's lifetime. These organs provide a place for specialized cells of the immune system to mature and develop. From here they go out into the blood stream and to other organs of the body to where they will spring into action when needed.
Innate immunity
Adaptive Immunity
Application of Adaptive Immunity: Vaccines
What if the system doesn't work very well or is missing specialized
cells? Illness results. Exposure to stressors can cause your immune
system to malfunction. Not getting enough sleep or exercise can leave
your immune system more vulnerable to attack. Astronauts are exposed
to the stress of microgravity during spaceflight, and it is important
that we fully understand how their immune response changes as a result
of space travel. What we learn may be beneficial for people on Earth,
including those who are born with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency,
have AIDS, and cancer therapy patients.

|image by Koube (こうべえ)
I love the simplicity of the torii `gates` that can be seen in front of shrines all over Japan.
It is a basic construction of post and lintel and often they are painted in a bright vermillion. Except in the case of Shinto shrines, where they are left in their natural materials.
I am drawn to this simple construction and the way it is a `frame` for something beyond, and for a view that is always changing. This quality is one of the things that I was always attracted to about Japan, and the architecture associated with Japan, even long before I visited here or knew I would one day live here. I suppose I find `stunning` in simplicity when it comes to architecture.
This image is a drawing by Koubee(こうべえ), an Oita singer and songwriter. It is the cover of his new CD single.
Koubee, I hope you don`t mind I am posting your cover!!
And the song to go with it!
To readers who are in Oita, next Sunday April 28th is Earth Day in Beppu Park and we will be participating with Shake Your Soul Yoga Dance, along with Koubee`s accompaniment on guitar!Meanwhile for more stunning architecture around the world, visit this weeks Corner View.
If you are from out of town or country, by all means come too, I will take you around town to see some of the stunning architecture in Oita and surrounds!!

Bearish or bullish on politicians? With the looming fiscal cliff of scheduled tax and budgetary changes and lawmakers' inability to put their necks on the line and make tough decisions, investors are intensely watching the approach of the Nov. 6 elections.
Keying off of investors' anxiety is Eric T. Singer, who manages the Congressional Effect Fund (symbol: CEFFX). His investment philosophy for this mutual fund is a novel one: to sidestep Congress altogether and invest only on the days when the House and Senate are not in session. Singer argues that lawmakers do more harm than good for the markets.

Officials: Bomb threat at UNH a hoax
People urged to report suspicious activity to 911
UPDATED 3:06 PM EDT Jun 11, 2013
Police have determined that a bomb threat made to the general campus at the University of New Hampshire on Tuesday was a hoax.
The threat was phoned in before 12 p.m.
UNH officials said several areas of the campus were searched, and that the timeframe the caller gave for an explosion has come and gone.
"Police urge people to remain vigilant at all times and to report any suspicious activity to 911," said Erika Mantz, the director of UNH Media Relations.
UNH police and the FBI are investigating. Authorities said the threats did not warrant evacuations at UNH.

Urgence Santé paramedics say a lack of ambulances in service is hurting response time.
Ambulances in Quebec are supposed to arrive at the scene of an emergency in 8 minute 59 seconds, but a federation representing some paramedics in Quebec says that only happens about 45 per cent of the time in Montreal and less often in Laval.
Federation president François Trudelle says that's mainly because the number of ambulances on the road does not grow with the demand and because paramedics have to spend too much time at the hospital when they drop off patients.
"Our job is to save lives, the deficiencies of the system tend to fall on our shoulders and we regret it, but we are not the ones that can change things," Trudelle said.
"If we are able to be there as soon as possible, we might be able to save more lives."
He says during the NDG fire that killed two people in January it took paramedics more than 20 minutes to arrive.
In another instance, he said it took him 28 minutes to get to a patient in Laval.
There were 134 ambulances on the road in Montreal and Laval in 2012, just three more than in 2003, even though 911 calls increased by 8.8 per cent during that time.

The state Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting on Aug. 1 in Summerville to discuss the future of the trees in the Interstate 26 median.
The hearing comes shortly after the Berkeley Charleston Dorchester Council of Governments indicated it would oppose a plan to clear cut there. The council asked the state to find other options.
Those options could be outlined during the public meeting, which is set for 5-7 p.m. at Summerville High School, according to Jake Libaire of the Coastal Conservation League.
Most of I-26 between Interstate 95 and the main Summerville exit has a median full of trees, and this stretch also has a relatively high rate of fatal accidents.
State officials have said removing the trees and installing cable barriers would reduce fatalities, but Lowcountry officials have said there may be a better, more attractive option.

Margaret Mellis 1914-2009
T01267 Blue Anemone 1957
Inscribed on reverse of board 'Dec or Nov 1957/Blue Anemone/Margaret Mellis'.
Oil on paper laid on board, 13¿ x 13¿ (33.5 x 35.5).
Purchased from the artist (Gytha Trust) 1971.
Coll: Bought by the artist's father, O. B. M. Mellis, from exhibition at the Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh, 1959; the artist.
Exh: A.I.A., April 1958 (28); Scottish Gallery, Castle Street, Edinburgh, November 1959 (22).
The artist wrote (letter of 16 May 1971): 'Blue anemone 1957 November. This was painted from the idea of the shape of dying anemones in an almost empty jam jar. I used irregular square shaped patches of paint and bent lines of colour to join them together. Colour usually unmixed direct from the tube. No modulations allowed except by the density of the paint on each patch. To get the right density the paint was put on with a palette knife in places and brushed on in others. Parts were left un painted.'
'This period lasted from about 1956 to 1959. It was halfway between my first abstract period (1940–8) and the present (abstract period) which came about gradually between 1959 and 1963, and is to do with colour.'
Published in The Tate Gallery Report 1970–1972, London 1972.

Braves Top Marlins, 2-1
MIAMI (AP) ? Young right-hander Randall Delgado and the Atlanta Braves bullpen made their manager look smart.
Delgado contributed an RBI batting in the No. 8 spot, and after manager Fredi Gonzalez gave him a quick hook in the seventh inning, three relievers combined to complete a two-hitter and help the Braves beat the Miami Marlins 2-1.
"It all worked out, so the second guessing is for tomorrow," Gonzalez said.
Delgado led 2-1 and had thrown only 80 pitches when he departed after allowing his only walk with one out in the seventh. Gonzalez liked the matchups he could get out of the bullpen, and he didn't want his starter facing the heart of the Marlins' order for a fourth time.
The strategy worked: Braves relievers retired all eight batters they faced. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his NL-leading 17th save in 18 chances.

Took a trip to Chicago in mid-August and stumbled upon Lush Wine & Spirits, a combination wine shop and bar with three locations across the city.
It reminded me a lot of O'Hara & Flynn in Charleston, S.C., one of those hybrid wine paradises that include labels from around the world, plenty of insightful help deciphering what's for sale, and enough food to qualify, in my mind, as a wine bar.
READ MORE: Toasting O'Hara & Flynn, a Charleston, S.C., wine bar
We stopped on a Tuesday night at the West Town location, a spot around the corner from where our daughter lives. We were greeted by Katie, a second-level sommelier who just does this on the side in addition to her day job. She and her partner that night were everything one could ask for: knowledgeable, passionate, patient and friendly. We were there more than an hour noshing on a cheese plate and a side dish of meatballs - along with our wine – and we really could have spent another couple hours just relaxing if we didn't have to head to our next destination.
A Chicago-based blog included Lush on its list of "10 Wine Bars We Love."
I wrote a similar post to this one a couple years ago with a bit of success, so let's try this again.
Assuming you had a chance to travel somewhere this summer, was there a wine bar or shop you visited that's worth sharing? If so, add a comment below.Follow @pierrecarafe

Webcasts and Webchats
Career Fact
Sheet Print Version
What I Do
As Assistant Director for Programs on the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission,
I am responsible for developing, identifying, and organizing the educational
content, the calendar of events, and the historical resources for our
web site (www.centennialofflight.gov).
A large part of my job is to encourage programs, projects and events that
will involve, educate, enrich, and inspire as many people as possible,
particularly educators and students, to participate in the commemoration
of the centennial of powered flight.
My Career Path
I was asked to support the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission a little
over a year ago by the acting Executive Director. Because of my strong
interest in aviation and a career in education that has spanned more then
a quarter of a century, I was immediately intrigued by the position. At
that point, I had served as the manager of NASA's national level teacher
preparation and enhancement programs and several student programs for
ten years. In addition, I had been deeply involved in the development
of aviation and aerospace supplemental curriculum materials for about
five years as the educational liaison to the Aerospace Technology Enterprise
(OAST). Prior to working with OAST, I was instrumental in the development
of educational materials for the Human Exploration and the Development
of Space Enterprise and the Earth Science Enterprise. But as a pilot,
I was very excited to be able to support the development of materials
related to aerospace. When I became involved as the liaison to the Aerospace
Technology Enterprise, NASA had very few educational products that focused
on aeronautics. As the educational liaison to the Aerospace Technology
Enterprise, I became a member of team of talented representatives that
included all of NASA Aerospace Technology Centers. It has been an exciting
and rewarding experience that has resulted in some outstanding materials
that are used by educators and students all over the country.
Why I like my Job
As a classroom teacher for over eight years, I worked directly with students
and educators. Since I began working for the government seventeen years
ago, I have managed programs and helped develop materials for students,
teachers, and faculty. I have always enjoyed being able to make contributions
to the learning process, hopefully making it more interesting and exciting.
I have also been fortunate to be able to interact with the committed and
passionate people who are involved in the work done by NASA because our
education programs and products cover every aspect of the agency's mission.
It has been a marvelous learning opportunity for me and I have been able
to share what I have learned with others.
The primary negative aspect of my career is a lack
of time to do everything! I often don't get to things as quickly as I
would like to.
As a child
I always loved science. I liked making things and figuring out how things
work. I read everything I could put my hands on related to science; it
was always my favorite subject in school. I loved literature too, especially
poetry. When I was younger, I read stories about animals, Nancy Drew,
the Hardy boys, and adventure stories.
I always loved working with kids; I tutored a few
along the way and liked it. I taught swimming and horseback riding in
high school and served as a camp counselor. In college I taught a summer
course about reptiles to elementary kids.
I discovered my desire to become a pilot at 16 when
I signed up to take a ground school course at the teen club. I was fascinated
with everything our volunteer instructor taught us! At nineteen, I got
behind the controls of an airplane as a passenger in a Cessna 150 and
started to learn about how a plane works. At 22, I was able to sign up
for an official ground school course. After I completed the course, I
took flying lessons. Wow-it was great! I have been at it ever since.
Everyone follows a different path and that's
okay. I never would have been able to predict that I would be doing my
current job fifteen, ten, or even five years ago. For me, following my
passion(s) has always been very important and to be the best you can be
in everything you do. Once you discover what you love to do, you need
to learn everything you can about it. Loving it makes the learning come
easy! Recognizing the possibilities for your own unique skills is also
Future Goals
I envision myself working on education and aerospace related activities.
I plan to continue to encourage educators to use aviation and aerospace
related information and materials to help them learn about just about
anything! Kids, and teachers too, really get excited about learning when
the content interests them. The content of this subject area has something
for everyone: science, math, technology, history, literature, you name
it! It is loaded with opportunities for discovery, adventure, imagination,
and creativity.
I believe that every person we interact with influences us positively
or negatively. Either way, all of our experiences with others are learning
opportunities for each of us. My parents always encouraged and supported
me in my many pursuits. I was strongly influenced by many of my teachers,
particularly in science. My husband of 27 years has been supportive, a
best friend through thick and thin, a co-pilot, a diving buddy, a soul
mate, and a companion.
I love animals and have had many pets including dogs,
cats, fish, turtles, and horses. I had an early interest in becoming a
vet or marine biologist-I became a teacher instead. I have never regretted
the choice! My current hobbies including flying, as often as possible,
in a 1946 Globe Swift or a Mooney 201; digging in the dirt (gardening);
designing and creating stain glass projects; and writing poetry.

WASHINGTON - NASA released two spectacular images this week of a volcano erupting in Indonesia's Flores Sea. The eruption on the island of Paluweh was captured April 29 by the newest Landsat satellite launched in February. Click here to see an even larger image.
"Each instrument by itself is magnificent,"Betsy Forsbacka, TIRS instrument manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said in a NASA press release. "When you put them together, with the clues that each give you on what you're seeing on Earth's surface, it's greater than either could do by themselves."The Landsat satellite is a joint project of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. When it finishes its instrument tests in late May, it will be handed over the the USGS. Data will be distributed free over the Internet. Landsat was launched Feb. 11, 2013, by an Atlas V rocket assembled by United Launch Alliance in Decatur, Alabama.

Wells and Manuel boost England
Half-centuries from Luke Wells and Jack Manuel on day two at Scarborough gave England Under-19s hope of securing a series-levelling win.
Requiring victory to draw the two-match rubber against their Sri Lanka counterparts, Wells and Manuel helped the hosts to 223 for six at stumps in reply to the tourists' first-innings 317.
Left-arm seamer Chathura Peiris picked up four wickets, the last of which was Manuel late in the day.
England took just 4.3 overs to polish off Sri Lanka's last two wickets this morning, as Jacob Ball had Charith Jayampathi caught for for 31 and David Payne bowled Nadeera Rajaguru for 22.
The hosts suffered a double blow in the seventh over of their reply as Peiris trapped Daniel Bell-Drummond in front and had Lewis Gregory caught.
Opener Joe Root looked to be finding his feet when Jayampathi, another left-arm seamer, had him lbw for 24.
Wells and Ateeq Javid prospered with a 78-run alliance, but that ended too soon for England's liking when Peiris bowled Javid for 33.
Off-spinner Rumesh Buddika proved tricky get away and the pressure he created told when he breached Wells' defences for 54, including eight fours.
Manuel progressed smoothly but, when England needed him to press on, was caught on 57 after striking six fours and two maximums.
New captain Paul Best batted resolutely to reach 27 from 116 balls by stumps, with Adam Ball unbeaten on one.

End of an Era
Last night was the final presentation of the Amiguinhos de Jesus, a puppet ministry that began sixteen years ago. Incidentally, our last presentation was at the Faith Baptist Church in Juazeiro--also the site of the first presentation "way back in the day".
I mentioned this to one of our puppeteers, and her response was "Wow! I was five back then!"
There were almost 200 people in attendance, most of them children. As the organizer and trainer of the group, this was one of my proudest moments. The Gospel was presented several times, all in ways that never once lost the kid's attention.
Below are some pictures from the evening.
Daniel, a member of the team from years gone by, brings to life one of his famous magic tricks.
A final farewell from the Amiguinhos de Jesus puppets and puppeteers.

And finally...
Some more pictures just became available. Rather than make a new post I am going to include them here.

Product DescriptionThe single-shot, break-action shotgun has been an American mainstay for well over a century and no gunmaker in history has mastered its sleek, simple design like Harrington & Richardson. The Topper name resonates with many generations who first experienced the gun as youngsters, later returning to the Topper upon realizing that simpler is better. It uses automatic shell ejection for fast reloading and a brass bead front sight for fast target acquisitions. Other features include side-lever release, automatic ejection, and the Transfer Bar System, which acts as a safety to prevent unintended firing. The rifle has an oil-finished walnut stock, a case-hardened receiver, a transfer bar safety, and a fixed modified choke. Its wood, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

Ex-councilman launches all-Spanish radio station
Nelson Cintron Jr., the first Hispanic member of the Cleveland City Council, may have lost his bid to return to the council, but he's not dwelling on his defeat in the September primary. He's living on the air in Painesville, operating a 24-hour Spanish radio station.
Cintron launched WHWN FM/88.3 quietly this summer. The nonprofit station has since captured the attention of the large Mexican-American community in Lake and Ashtabula counties with a Mexican-music mix and some original shows and live broadcasts.
"The community has really embraced us," said Cintron, who grew up in a broadcast family. His father, Nelson Cintron, was the first Hispanic radio broadcaster in the Cleveland area.
Nelson Jr. said he applied for his radio license in 1997 and waited 10 years for approval. He incorporated Hispanic World Network and raised a tower on Johnnycake Ridge Road to launch the region's second all-Spanish radio station, following WNZN FM/89.1 FM in Lorain.
In good weather, the 700-watt signal of WHWN reaches Cleveland's eastern suburbs.
Cintron said his aim is to train young Latinos for broadcast careers and that he's having a grand time doing it.
"I had two goals in life: to become the first Hispanic member of City Council and to own a radio station," he said. "I achieved both."
Muslims confront abuse:
A crime often mentioned in whispers in the Muslim community is about to be addressed publicly at the Grand Mosque. Two Muslim women's groups are joining with the Council on American Islamic Relations to offer help to victims of domestic violence.
Community advocates and domestic-violence experts will offer guidance to victims and their families at a program that runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Islamic Center of Cleveland, 6055 West 130th St., Parma.
Organizers from Salaam Cleveland and the Women's Committee of the Islamic Center say spousal abuse is no more prevalent in the Muslim community than in others but that it is less likely to be acknowledged, making it harder for victims to get help....

text: Roses to the memory of fallen Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel M. McVicker. Yesterday was a somber anniversary for his family. The West Branch graduate was only 20 when he died on Oct. 6, 2005 when serving our country during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was killed by an improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations against enemy forces near Al Qaim, Iraq. He was our area's only casualty during that military operation. One was too many. Our thoughts go out to family members who have preseved his memory and keep his name out there. That is how it should be. We should never forget the sacrifice. A stretch of US. route 62 bears his name in honor. Memorial scholarships in his name distributed with the support of the community and Sebring American Legion Post 76 now number 22.

Bronson graduated from Kentwood High School and then attended the University of Washington. After a year with the Huskies, he transferred to Eastern Washington University. Now, after going undrafted, he's in camp with the Seahawks.
"It's a lot," Bronson told said with a laugh. "This team is great. This city is great. Just to be wearing this jersey and be practicing with the lake behind me, it's an awesome experience."
Bronson, who plays running back, was only signed by Seattle last month. That means he's just starting to make an impression with the Seahawks.
Thanks to the absence of Marshawn Lynch, who's holding out for more money, Bronson is quickly being noticed.
"Everything he's done, he's done well," said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. "He's a tough kid, he's shown real good instincts running the football, and he's a strong guy with enough speed to pop into the secondary."
Bronson is doing everything he can to make the Seahawks, like talking to a player who's been in his shoes before. A guy like wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.
Kearse starred at Lakes High School in Tacoma, played at the University of Washington, and is now a lock to make the Seahawks roster.
Bronson told me that he was picking Kearse's brain a couple days ago, asking what he needs to do to survive.
"He just told me to compete," said Bronson. "Go hard everyday, try to get on special teams, work on your craft and work on your game. The more you can bring to the game, the more you have a chance of making the team. That's why I just come out, compete, work hard, and try to get my spot on this roster."
A big Seahawks fan growing up, nothing would mean more to Bronson than making Seattle's roster out of camp.
"This team competes," Bronson said. "Every single guy on this team competes. Just to be a part of that atmosphere alone would be great."
"Being from Seattle, playing high school football here, going from Washington to Eastern Washington and now here. It's a great blessing."

A dear friend shared this piece of wisdom with me years ago and it has always stuck.
When we assume we are immediately putting our assumption, the person we are making the assumption about, and a limited belief in a pretty little box with a nice tight bow on it for good measure… God forbid we allow there to be another perspective, another possibility, more to the story we've already made up. The real kicker here is that the assumption we make has more of a negative impact on the assumer than the person we are making the assumption about. The assumer is limiting themselves and the relationship from greater possibility; the possibility of creativity, intimacy, transparency, freedom, fun, trust, all of which deepens authentic relationship. I could go on here but the bottom line is when you assume something about me, you make an ass out of u and me.
When we find ourselves making assumptions about someone we are in relationship with there is an opportunity to clear it. We can do this by seeking to understand, getting curious, and asking questions to clear the assumption.
Maybe you will find there is truth in your assumption but I believe there is always more to the story, and to find out more of that story will help us to have a better understanding and appreciation for the person, and this opens a far more expansive space for being in authentic relationship.
I made an assumption that a dear friend was a control freak because she needed to do it all herself… and just to out myself here in the moment, our assumptions often times are our own projections of self… ouch! When I checked in with her about my assumption and got truly curious, what I learned about her was so much more than my limiting assumption, what was underneath the control was fear, and so much more. "WE" now have greater possibility in our friendship for trust, love, compassion, understanding, levity…
Give it a try; clear an assumption you have about someone you are in relationship with.
It might begin with, "I have an assumption about you and I would like to share it because it may be getting in the way of our relationship…" It takes courage and love, and it is well worth it.
Please share a story about an assumption you've made or had made about you.

Imagine how boxing would be different if the fans called the shots—if the people, and not shady promoters and television networks, were empowered to make sure that the best fights happened between the best fighters.
It may seem like a fantasy world, mostly because it is, but it provides food for thought.
If it were up to you, whom would you like to see Floyd Mayweather face? Or Canelo Alvarez? Or Adrien Broner?
We try to answer that question here, as we nail down who each boxing superstar would face if the fans were making the call and not the promoters.
A slight caveat: If a fight has already been made (such as Mayweather vs. Alvarez), it cannot be included on this list.

by Maeve Binchy
To discover Maeve Binchy—as in her fine novel Circle of Friends—is to be charmed. To read some of her soppier efforts is to get over it. Even in an Irish accent, a soap opera is still a soap opera. Her latest work is a case in point: Dublin cooking-school classmates Cathy Scarlet and Tom Feather dream of starting their own catering business, Scarlet Feather, but they can't find the right location. On an otherwise ghastly New Year's Eve, Tom discovers the perfect space. Business that first year is full of tribulation as Binchy, who has said this will be her last novel, seems eager to toss in myriad characters and sub-plots for her finale. There are abandoned children, a thieving cousin, a miscarriage, a heart attack and heart-break. Then there's the weepy dialogue: A girl tells her dad, "The day you...let me go without telling me that you loved me...killed any thoughts of love that I would ever have." If it's a long year for Scarlet Feather's owners, it's even longer for us. (Dutton, $25.95)

The Northern bobwhite quail has declined in Missouri since the mid-1950s, by more than 70 percent in the last 30 years. The long-term decline resulted from changes in land management. The landscape has changed from a patchwork of small farms with small fields, brushy areas and open woodlands to fewer, larger farms with larger fields, clean fencerows and dense forests. Other factors leading to declining habitat quality are the increased use of densely growing cool-season pasture grasses and the chemical control of insect and plant pests.
Quail need patchy habitats with a mix of bare ground and more dense cover, along with seed-bearing plants and insects. They must have suitable areas for nest sites and brood-rearing and cover to protect the birds from predators. Without suitable habitat available, the quail's plight is made worse by extended periods of winter ice and snow. Unusually wet periods during spring and early summer, such as we had last year, also take a toll on young quail chicks.
Quail nesting in Missouri should be in full swing right now. After a 23-day incubation period for the eggs, young quail will be hatching later in May. The newly hatched chicks can easily succumb to exposure from frequent rains and cool temperatures. Let's keep our fingers crossed for some warm and drier conditions during late May and June. We'll need good habitat and a little luck with the weather to see good numbers of quail chicks fledged this year.
Today there are multiple efforts underway to reverse the long decline in the quail population. Quail respond well to certain habitat management practices. These practices are increasingly being implemented on public and private property in Missouri. "Habitat is the Key" is the slogan for the growing body of information on restoring quail populations. What we do to improve quail populations will, at the same time, help a host of other ground-nesting Missouri birds that share the same needs as quail.

It is not necessary unless someone is pregnant or may need a transfusion. RBC antibodies do not otherwise affect the health of someone who has them. Sometimes a practitioner may test a woman after a pregnancy, especially if her baby had complications, to determine if there may be risks associated with a future pregnancy. Also, a physician may order a DAT and RBC antibody screen if hemolysis or anemia due to autoantibodies is suspected.

No. They may drop to low levels in the blood but once you have developed them, the cells that make them remain in your body and the antibody level may increase significantly again with repeated exposure to the same RBC antigen. You should always get blood that is negative for the corresponding antigens to clinically significant antibodies.
They do not affect the safety of the person donating and will not affect the processing of red blood cells for transfusion. If someone has potent RBC antibodies in their plasma, however, then that plasma may not be acceptable for all transfusions.

At one point during the interview, Vanna White looks down at the table and starts staring at the tape recorder, watching pensively as its reels slowly turn around and around. "What do you think when you listen to this back?" she asks. "Is the whole thing weird?"
In your case, Vanna, not very. Some people may wonder how a 29-year-old (or so) woman who does nothing but turn the (already lit) letters on TV's Wheel of Fortune could come to enjoy the slightest fame. That's how much they know. Vanna White is part of a time-honored American tradition that has yielded such worthies as Julie New mar, Tiny Tim and Rula Lenska: She is the latest in the line of Lite Celebrities.
This is not an inconsiderable achievement; such status comes with some fab-u-lous prizes. For starters there's her annual Wheel salary—an estimated $100,000-plus for 12 days of work a month. Then there are endorsements for McDonald's and the soon-to-be-available Vanna White mattress. And don't forget the obligatory book—Vanna Speaks, due in mid '87—which she calls "partly autobiography, diet, exercise, my views on life. All different kinds of things because I don't get the opportunity to talk a lot on the show." The future might also bring a record album and a cookie line, but probably not a movie. "It's hard to go from a TV star to a serious motion picture star," Vanna admits. "I'm not quite sure what exactly it is I want to do. Something in front of the camera."
Such modesty not only becomes her, it also indicates why she is special to 1986. This was a cautious, self-restrained year in which economists spoke of negative growth and sportscasters constantly praised athletes for "staying within themselves" or "playing within their limits." Vanna certainly fits that bill. When the interview is over and she is standing, she suddenly and excitedly asks, "Do you want to see how fast I can untie and retie my laces?" She then bends down to her expensive beige suede boots and accomplishes the feat in 10 seconds flat. In the evanescent world of celebrity, Vanna was this year's MVP.

Yesterday turned out to be NOT GOOD.
I had decided to have it be my 'skip breakfast' day, since I had no greens on hand. Started cooking greens. Then the kitchen sink, which had been running slow and needing plunging for the last couple of weeks, STOPPED. I had to do snaking, and take apart pipes, and curse. A lot. Then the puppy incident happened. The plumbing kept being an issue and needing to be worked on, and I started putting chicken wire up on the fence, to stop any more puppies from getting in our yard. Something I wish our neighbors would do, but I am not going to risk having that happen again, regardless of responsibility. But that meant money, which we don't really have, spent and set off another round of money worries in my head. Then found a call from the bank on my messages. Lovely. Plus, our air conditioner is having a problem just keeping up with day after day after day of 100+ weather. Still chugging along, but the house never gets below 85.
So, although I consider the fact that I didn't eat EVERYTHING a success, yesterday resembled good eating in only the briefest of ways:
Sleep: 10 1/2 hours- woke naturally
1:00 2 chocolate truffles and a spoon of peanut butter
meatloaf, mashed cauliflower, greens
7:00 more truffles-didn't count, about half of a sugar-free soda
Walking: 50"
Water: 8+ glasses, but not enough to keep up with the heat and sweating.
Piscator- thanks for stopping by. I am not usually such a downer. Puppy deaths take it out of me. The poor little girl died in my hands.
Siobhan and Candy- thanks.
I am ready for a better day today.
