While our local artists are still on summer break, there's an interesting documentary coming to the Avery Research Center at 7 p.m. Friday.
Many of us will remember Alex Haley's acclaimed made-for-TV movie, "Roots," that followed the story of a slave named Kunta Kinteh after being abducted and brought to America in chains.
Haley was his descendant and the famous book and movie sparked a national interest for black families in tracing their roots back to their home country, and finding out more about tribal traditions and culture.
Now a documentary about the famous captive has been made. "Kunta Kinteh Island: "Coming Home Without Shackles" which chronicles his life and journey.
During a forced exodus, Kunta Kinteh was captured and transported to James Island in Gambia, where he was held captive for 15 days before being shipped as cargo to the Americas.
Recently the president of the Republic of The Gambia, reclaimed and renamed the old British Fortress as Kunta Kinteh Island to honor his legacy.
Filmmaker Elvin Ross captured the spirit and essence of the Gambian people during the Roots Festival in February 2011. The ruins of the fortress, which were restored through grants from both the Netherlands and the United States, serve as a backdrop to this film.
Actor Ben Vereen gives a dramatic rendering of a grandfather re-telling his family's history to his young grandson so that Kinteh will be remembered. The filmmakers also did interviews with Kinteh family members that still reside in Juffureh.
Other celebrities, including Jermaine Jackson, and Chaz Guest gave personal testimonies in the documentary about knowing Alex Haley and their visits to James Island.
The film will be shown at the Avery Research Center, 125 Bull St. and seating is limited. Anyone interested should call 953-7609 to reserve seating.
There also will be a special performance for Charleston area middle school students. If you have a student from your church, or community that you would like to include for the special matinee, contact Yvette Miller via email email@example.com or at 571-3433 to have them added to the list.
Dr. Seuss by kids
Kid's fare is always welcome during the summer and the Musical Theater Center Company is presenting "Seussical, Jr." on Saturday and Sunday at the Woolfe Street Playhouse.
It features an all-kid cast, so it's going to be charming as well as amazing for both the audience and the players. Dr. Seuss is well-loved by young and old, so this is the perfect afternoon or evening summer fantasy.
In this musical extravaganza, all of the favorite Dr. Seuss characters are brought to life, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and JoJo, a little girl with a big imagination.
The colorful characters transport the audience from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
Shows are at 2 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 and 4 p.m. Sunday at the playhouse, 34 Woolfe St. in downtown Charleston. Tickets are $15 for all ages and can be purchased at www.Once-Upon-A-Ballet.com in advance or at the door (if still available).
Seashores and birds
There's a new exhibit at the North Charleston City Gallery from Aug. 1-31, featuring mixed-media paintings by local artist Robert B. Reed and oil paintings by Montgomery, Ala., artist Maryann Goodhue.
Reed's work "Outlying Shores: Annotations from Abroad" features the beach and shoreline from his world travels.
"Endangered" by Goodhue features a collection of oil paintings inspired by the devastation to the native bird population in her home state of Alabama caused by the 2010 gulf oil spill.
The artists will host a free public reception at the gallery, 5001 Coliseum Drive on Thursday from 5-7 p.m.
Auditions for singers
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Gospel Choir and CSO Spiritual Ensemble are seeking new volunteer members.
The CSO Gospel Choir is an 80-voice gospel group and the CSO Spiritual Ensemble is a 35-member vocal group focusing on African-American Spirituals.
The two groups will hold a voice assessment at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Second Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 342 Meeting St., downtown Charleston.
Volunteers are asked to prepare a solo of their choosing and vocalize in a choral setting.
Both groups will be preparing for a new season, including a holiday concert, Martin Luther King Jr. tribute, Piccolo Spoleto performances and other events in the tri-county area and beyond.
Call 991-1035 or go to www.csogospel.com
Reach Stephanie Harvin at 937-5557.

Album Review
Steve Earle & the Dukes
were touring the U.K. in support of the album
Copperhead Road
in November 1988 when they played a show at the Town and Country Club in London, and BBC Radio 1 assigned a recording crew to put the concert on tape for later broadcast.
BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert
captures 13 songs from
's set, which finds him and his band in tough, arena-ready form. The recording captures more of the ambience of the room than anyone needs, and
's vocals are a bit low in the mix, occasionally getting lost in the echo, but he was clearly having a good night (as were
the Dukes
), and the fire of his performance is communicated on disc. Most of the highlights of the set come from
Copperhead Road
(the title tune makes for an impressive opening salvo), but he also dips into his back catalog for some favorites from his first two albums (as well as a cover of "a perfectly good British hillbilly song," "Dead Flowers"), and sings with muscle and confidence on each track. The recording captures the ebb and flow of an unaltered live show, unlike the later concert release
Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator
, and it's fun to hear
try to deal with a drunk and talkative fan as he introduces "The Devil's Right Hand."
BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert
isn't the best
Steve Earle
live release, but it's better than most and captures him at the peak of his commercial success. (The same concert was later released on the album
Live at the BBC
with bonus tracks from a 1987 concert in Manchester.)

ATTICA - A Market Street woman was charged with felony drunken driving and other counts when she allegedly drove onto the curb and sidewalk near her home and right behind a parked police car about 4:30 p.m. Monday, police reported.
Cynthia A. Trader, 55, who was convicted of drunken driving last March, was found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.22 percent, nearly three times the state's legal limit, according to police.
Trader was charged with DWI, refusing to submit to a breath screening test, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, operation in violation of a conditional license, operating a motor vehicle without a court-ordered interlock device and driving on the sidewalk.
She was issued appearance tickets for a Village Court session on Nov. 5.

THE BEAUTIES OF NATURE and HOW FAR THEY TRANSCEND THOSE OF ART, in LANDSCAPE GARDENING.
This book of poems by James Sinclair, first published in London, England in 1852.
The book of Poem is, to introduce a new era in the art of Landscape Gardening. An attempt is now made for to lay down fixed principles, for the production of real beauty in that art. For the purpose of gaining the above object, parallel lines, either in the shape of roads, flower-borders, grass or gravel-walks, or in any other way, are totally disused; thereby this method of laying out grounds is strictly original, and totally different from any other ever used in this or any other country. Not only is here laid down rules for the dispensing with parallel lines, but also for the proper distribution of trees, shrubs, and every kind of plant, so as not to produce a chaos by their improper admixture;—in short, the object here, is to point out a method of blending together large or small masses of wood, gravel, lawn, or water, so as to produce a beautiful picture, having order and regularity reigning in every part.

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
What do the high cost of cancer drug development and inconsistencies in many cancer research studies have in common? The most direct answer is that the in vitro models currently in use do not accurately represent the disease of interest. Specifically, current methodologies lack either a physiological context and/or reproducible format for assessing tumor cells in vitro.
Currently, the most popular in vitro method for compound screening and pathway analysis involves culturing cancer cells on rigid, tissue culture treated plastic surfaces where the cells adhere nonspecifically and proliferate as a monolayer. In this format, these cells lose both morphology and gene expression profiles associated with tumors in vivo. Cells may be suspended in extracellular matrix hydrogels to construct 3-D cultures, which provide ligands and a malleable surface to promote the physiological cell program; however, the resulting structures are dispersed throughout the gel, exhibiting significant variability in morphology and size, limiting the establishment of physiological gradients and adversely affecting the reproducibility of each assay.
To address issues of reproducibility and to build more physiological tumor systems, well-established methods for multicellular spheroid formation were incorporated into 3-D culture models. Researchers have been using spheroid cultures for over 70 years, and this format has been utilized for several cancer models. Furthermore, it has been documented that the addition of extracellular matrix proteins during spheroid formation promotes the assembly of cell-cell bonds, promoting cell aggregation and spheroid formation for many cancer cell models that were previously thought to be incompatible with this format.
Trevigen has optimized this process, providing the necessary reagents to evaluate your cells using this method. Simply harvest cells, resuspend in spheroid formation ECM, and then culture in a 96-well spheroid formation plate. Spheroids generally form in 48 to 72 hours. Cell number and culture time determines spheroid size, and since each well produces one spheroid, researchers have complete control over spheroid dimensions with virtually no well-to-well variability.
For most tumor models, we recommend spheroids between 400–500 µm in diameter. This is sufficient to establish physiological gradients for nutrients, oxygen, pH, and catabolites due to limitations in diffusion through multicellular layers.
Another effect of these gradients is the establishment of heterogeneous cell populations with necrotic cells in the core, quiescent cells in the deeper layers, and proliferating cells on the spheroid surface; all of these factors reminiscent of an avascular tumor. Once formed, these multicellular tumor cell aggregates can be treated with pharmacological compounds to evaluate the effect on tumor spheroid growth; alternatively, specific genes or pathways may be altered to evaluate its effect on expansion of the in vitro tumor. This process can be monitored in real-time and label-free using image analysis software to measure spheroid area and/or quantitated at an end point using cell viability reagents, such as the MTT assay.
Tumor cell spheroids also represent an opportunity to evaluate processes and modulators of cancer cell dissemination from the tumor, modeling early metastatic events. Using the same ECM-modulated process for spheroid formation, an invasion matrix comprised of basement membrane proteins and collagen I is applied to the tumor spheroid, fully embedding it. The invasion matrix forms a hydrogel network on which the cells can invade out of the tumor spheroid and into the surrounding matrix in a time-dependent manner. Again, the impact of pharmacological compounds and genetic/pathway manipulation can be evaluated to determine the functional impact on this process.
The Cultrex 3-D Spheroid Proliferation/Viability Assay was used to evaluate the efficacy of the anticancer compound etoposide for MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer spheroids in Figure 1. Etoposide is a commonly used chemotherapeutic, anticancer agent that targets rapidly proliferating cancer cells by forming a complex with DNA and topoisomerase II, causing breaks in the DNA and promoting cell death. Here, MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were resuspended at 60,000 cells/mL in spheroid formation ECM, and 3,000 cells (50 µL) were added to each well of the spheroid formation plate.
Spheroids were formed over a 72 hour period, and were treated with varying amounts of etoposide over a 96-hour period. The progression of MDA-MB-231 proliferation and spheroid expansion over the 96-hour period is demonstrated in Figure 1A. Samples treated with etoposide were evaluated for spheroid expansion by evaluating spheroid area (red) and cell viability using the MTT Assay (blue) in Figure 1B. Increasing the dosage of etoposide inhibited expansion of the MDA-MB-231 tumor spheroid, yielding a proportional effect on cell number, as demonstrated by the MTT Assay.
The Cultrex 3-D Spheroid BME Invasion Assay was used to evaluate the efficacy of the anticancer compound sulforaphane for invasion of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer spheroids. Sulforaphane is a bioactive compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower that exhibits anticancer properties in experimental models. It is a phytochemical that belongs to the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds that inhibits histone deacetylase activity.
Here, MDA-MB-231 spheroids were formed as indicated above. In addition, an invasion matrix (50 µL) was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for one hour. The invasion matrix fully embeds the tumor spheroid in a hydrogel network on which the cancer cells can invade out of the spheroid and into the surrounding matrix, see Figure 2A for a time lapse progression of 3-D cell invasion. By assessing the increase in invasion area, sulforaphane demonstrates the ability to inhibit invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells out of the tumor spheroid in a dose-dependent manner, as seen in Figure 2B.
Existing methodologies lack either a physiological context and/or reproducible format for assessing tumor cell functions in vitro. The Cultrex 3-D Spheroid Proliferation/Viability Assay and the Cultrex 3-D Spheroid BME Invasion Assay provide easy, quantitative, high-throughput tools for assessing the effect of anticancer agents on either tumor spheroid proliferation or dissemination.

hi, i just got hooked up w/ charter and got the Motorola DCX3501-M DVR w/ 2 tuners. I just had DirecTV. their 2 tuner DVR allowed you to switch between tuners so you can view 2 separate channels without losing the buffering of either channel. so when you swap to the other tuner, you can go back, forward, pause, etc. i called support for charter and they say you can't do that w/ this DVR. is this true? i certainly hope not. it doesn't matter whether you are recording one program, two programs or none. thanks in advance.

Testing Guam's Tough New Abortion Law, Janet Benshoof Is Arraigned for Giving Advice
With that simple advice, proffered along with the telephone number and address of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Honolulu, Benshoof, 42, allegedly broke the law she had come to protest, which prohibits abortions unless two doctors conclude that the mother's life or health is in imminent danger. The next day Benshoof was arraigned under a provision of the law that prohibits "soliciting" women to have abortions. She may face a possible $1,000 fine and a year in jail.
It's the kind of fight Benshoof has become familiar with in her 13 years as director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, based in Manhattan. Guam's law, she says, poses an open challenge not only to the landmark Roe v. Wade decision protecting a woman's right to an abortion but also to the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. "Never have I seen a statute anywhere in the world where to talk about abortion to pregnant women is a crime," Benshoof said.
Tough talk and pit-bull determination are Benshoof trademarks. She grew up in rural Minnesota, the daughter of a county prosecutor and a housewife. With top grades at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, she won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago Law School but was determined to study law at Harvard, which had accepted her but offered no financial help. Her father, annoyed that she was throwing away her scholarship, told her she would have to pay her own way—which is just what she did. She paid tuition with the money she had earned summers at an A&W root beer stand, and covered room and board as a cook for the dean of the Harvard Divinity School—until her father came around. At Harvard she met future husband Richard Klein. They now live in Greenwich Village with their twin sons.
After a stint at a legal-aid office in Brooklyn, N.Y., she joined the ACLU national office in New York City. Today she is considered one of the nation's top authorities on reproductive law. Yet her burdensome caseload hasn't hidden her light side. Prior to one of her two appearances before the Supreme Court, an associate recalls, Benshoof sat in the Court's august waiting room listening to the Supremes on her Walkman. Away from the job, she is known as an eagle-eyed bargain hunter. Says former colleague Suzanne Lynn: "After meetings or court arguments in Washington, we'd fly back to New York as early as possible, take a cab to the Lower East Side and basically shop till we dropped."
Benshoof hadn't expected to find herself at the business end of a judge's gavel when she got to Guam, a U.S. Territory of 130,000 mostly Catholic residents in the Western Pacific, 1,560 miles east of Tokyo. Though the abortion law had passed the territorial legislature unanimously (the island's archbishop threatened to excommunicate Catholic legislators who voted against it), Benshoof thought she had an appointment to discuss the bill with Gov. Joseph F. Ada. It turned out she had merely been invited to the bill-signing ceremony. "I had a naive idea that if I explained to the Governor how bad this law was, he would not sign it," she says. "I had no idea he was in bed with the archbishop." Retorts Ada: "It's her right to question it, but she's making a mockery of our abortion law. That's not nice."
Ironically, Benshoofs defense attorney, Anita Arriola, 33, is the daughter of Guam legislator Elizabeth Arriola, who sponsored the disputed law. (Anita is being touted as a possible prochoice candidate for Governor, but relations between mother and daughter remain warm. "She washes her clothes every weekend at my house," said Mom.) Since being released on her own recognizance—her next court appearance is scheduled for April 2—Arriola's client has become a local celebrity. "A mailman stopped me on the street and said, 'I'm prochoice,' " Benshoof reports gleefully, "and the police pulled me over when I was driving and said, 'Right on!' " Such unsolicited support is encouraging to Benshoof, who intends to see her case through, then continue fighting the law in the courts. (For the moment there will be no more prosecutions under the law, which was stayed last week pending a review of its constitutionality by a federal court.) Guam's voters could put an end to the battle by repealing the law in a referendum Nov. 6. If they don't, they'll be hearing more from Benshoof. "The women in Guam are in a very tragic situation," she says. "I never intend to be quiet about that."

Shakespeare himself wasn't part of our Shakespeare Santa Cruz experience this summer but it didn't matter. The magic was still there.
Centuries-old redwoods surround the outdoor stage in this celebrated festival now in its 31st season on the UC Santa Cruz campus. Shafts of sunlight, or even fog hanging low on their trunks give the sense that you're in a natural cathedral as much as an amphitheater, adding a divine dimension to the lighting design of the whatever production is being staged there.
I have personal history with Shakespeare Santa Cruz, having been actively involved at its inception. I would wager a guess that the Hawaii plate on my truck is the only one in the state surrounded by a Shakespeare Santa Cruz license plate holder.

Philippe (Charles Pasternak), in the world premiere of "The Man in the Iron Mask" at Shakespeare Santa Cruz.
Photo courtesy Shakespeare Santa Cruz
As it turns out, the play we were seeing last Sunday - Scot Wentworth's "The Man in the Iron Mask" - was brand new. It was marking its world premiere performances in the sylvan setting, although its origins date back to the 17th-century legends of the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
More recently the story had been a major motion picture in 1998 with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeremy Irons heading the cast. But the SSC production, directed by John Sipes, staked out its own creative territory with a unique blend of melodrama and poignancy; social awareness and comedy; 17th-century courtly mannerisms and thoroughly modern resonances.
While the sweep of the action felt rollicking and cinematic, the concept owed as much to the Globe Theater of Shakespeare's day, relying on the actors and the playwright's words to make the audience "see" the 17th-century "age of Louie" - from the opulent court to the cells of the Bastille - on the multitiered, minimal stage set.
Like a classic French version of one of those reality-TVs about aging rock stars, when the story starts the legendary trio of swordsmen are aging parodies of their former selves. Aramis (V. Craig Heidenreich) has become a man of the cloth, the Abbe d'Herblay. Athos (Dierk Torsek) is the willful Compte de la Fere. And Porthos (Ted Barton) is the portly sensualist, the comic buffoon. Only D'Artagnan (Kit Wilder) is still in his majesty's service as the captain of the royal musketeers, but he's somewhat conflicted since King Louis (Charles Pasternak) is one of those bad kings you've got to keep your eye on.
Pasternak sees double duty, also playing Louis' twin, the young fellow mentioned in the play's title, who's been kept imprisoned in the Bastille for the last decade. His headgear looks like the sort of thing Hannibal Lecter or the villain of the new Batman movie should be wearing although his mask, we eventually learn, is for his own protection.
The leads in the theatrical adventure, many of them members of Actors Equity, are surrounded by a colorful supporting cast led by Lisa Kitchens as the virtuous maid, Louise de la Valliere. Louise gets a lot more interesting when she trades her gowns for a soldier's tunic, showing herself the musketeers' equal with a sword.
Wentworth's writing manages a tricky balancing act, making the conventions of the French court accessible to the modern audience at the same time it's making its themes echo those playing out in this year's presidential campaign.
While the festival was inspired by the language of William Shakespeare and the amazing roadmap of human nature it provides, this production follows last year's "Three Musketeers," adding a French accent to the equation.
This language is more accessible for modern audiences, its storytelling easier to follow. But especially at its end, it strikes a rich, deep emotional chord. For all the comparisons to cinema this production generates, as its characters exit the stage and pass through the audience at its conclusion, we are reminded that this entertainment form is alive.
In Dumas' day, theater was the ultimate in fantasy that an audience could be shared by an audience.
In our times, with so many other technologically powered alternatives, it is a glorious reminder of the enduring benefits of going "live."

"Please Install Flash Player Pro To Continue" popup - How to remove?
"Please Install Flash Player Pro To Continue" popup is a fake message claiming that you should get the latest Adobe Flash Player update. Beware that this message has nothing to do with Adobe updates and it was designed by cyber criminals in order to distribute various potentially unwanted programs. "Please Install Flash Player Pro To Continue" popup can use PremiumVideoUpdates.com and some other domains. Here is how it looks like:
Please Install Flash Player Pro To Continue (Required)

Which e-cigarettes are right for you?
When it comes to e-cigs, one size does not fit all. Someone who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day is going to need a different nicotine strength than someone who smoked half of a pack. Dive into the case studies featured below and learn which will work best for you.
As a college professor who faces an hour-long commute every day, Alan typically smokes half a pack on the way to work and the same amount, if not more, on the way home.
In between classes, Alan has very little time, making every cigarette break rushed and unsatisfying.
When he switched to e-cigs, Alan wanted a kit that had enough power to get him through his day. The Cirrus II Starter Kit, with two batteries, offered the perfect solution.
Given his heavy morning and evening use, and his infrequent breaks during the day, Alan also needed long-lasting cartridges that satisfied quickly..
Alan was spending about $180 on cigarettes every month. After buying the Cirrus II Kit, he now pays less than $40 per month for cartridges, which offer more satisfaction with less use throughout his busy day.
Do you share a similar experience? Check out our Cirrus II kit.
Sandra is a customer service professional who works a standard 9 to 5 shift each day. Before trying e-cigs, Sandra smoked 4-5 cigarettes during the day and a few more at home.
Most of her short work breaks were spent outside trying to rapidly satisfy her nicotine cravings before rushing back to her desk.
Now, because Sandra's company allows e-cig use in the office, she enjoys a puff of her Cirrus 3 anytime she has a craving, without having to clock out and leave her desk. She is satisfied, less rushed, and more efficient, which keeps her supervisors satisfied, as well.
Because of this, Sandra saves between $45 and $50 every month buying White Cloud cartridges instead of cigarettes.
Can you relate to Sandra? See if our Cirrus 3 kit is right for you.
Paul is a contractor who works long hours outdoors, while smoking throughout. Though his environment allowed for smoking freely, Paul found that both stopping to light up and finding a trash can for all of his cigarette butts was detracting from his performance.
When Paul heard about e-cigarettes, he was intrigued but doubted they could satisfy his persistent cravings, especially since he usually smoked more than 30-40 cigarettes every day.
White Cloud created the C3X Starter Kit for people like Paul. The C3X includes three long-lasting batteries, perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time away from a charger.
Paul now pays approximately $115 per month for replacement cartridges as opposed to $600 for cigarettes.
Does Paul's situation resemble yours? Our Cirrus 3X kit has the all-day power you need.
- 2 reliable, long-lasting batteries
- 1 Chargebolt USB charger
- 5-pack of ClearDraw2 cartridges, in any flavor and strength
- Standard 6-month warranty
- 3 discreet, authentically sized batteries
- 1 Squid USB charger
- 1 wall adapter
- 5-pack of ClearDraw2 cartridges, in any flavor and strength
- Standard 6-month warranty
- 3 high-capacity batteries for all-day power
- 1 Chargebolt USB charger

There are many different types of eye disease, but many of them share methods of prevention. Consider these tips to help reduce your risk of eye problems.
Quit Smoking
Tobacco use is associated with just about every kind of eye disease, including AMD, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and dry eye.
Get Regular Eye Exams
Starting treatment early is the best way to prevent permanent damage from glaucoma, retinal detachment, and other diseases. People over 30 should have a dilated eye exam at least every three to five years (more often if they are at higher risk for glaucoma). People over 60 should have one every year.
Control Blood Sugar
If you're diabetic, keeping your blood sugar level can help ward off retinopathy.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Obesity and health problems related to it (high blood pressure) are associated with higher risk of AMD, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.
Take "Eye Breaks"
If working in front of a computer or doing another task that requires long periods of visual focus, take a break and close your eyes or look at something far away for a few seconds every 20 minutes or so to prevent dry eye and eyestrain.

Why you should come to Blue Dog!
Amazing Training:
How well trained is your dog trainer? Believe it or not a person does not need to be licensed nor have any formal education/training in Dog Obedience in order to be a "dog trainer." That means that someone who has no formal education and possibly only took a short crash course in dog training could be training your dog.
Care Vet
Issaquah Dog Clinics
- Our trainers have actual diploma's in Dog Obedience training and education, experience and certifications in other fields.
- Our classes are small (5 – 7 dogs per class) so we have the time and ability to focus on you and your dog. Other programs allow as many as 10, 15 or even as many as 25 dogs in a classroom.
- Our facility has both indoor and outdoor areas for training and daycare.
- We go over more than just the basics. We focus on other areas that some training programs consider a waste of time or not worth training.
Daycare the way it should be:
- Our daycare is for small breed (30lbs or less) dogs only. No interacting small breeds with large breeds.
- We have an OUT DOOR POTTY AREA!!! Good luck finding other facilities that offer that.
- We know that a dog is not just a dog. They are family.
Who we are:
Blue Dog is a group of trainers and doggie daycare providers who, after working with other trainers and companies, decided to develop a business teaching a method we call Wonder Dog Training. After studying several methods of dog training such as: pack; clicker; positive; learned behavior; and traditional, we found several positive and negative attributes of each. We take the best of each method and combine them into Wonder Dog training.
What makes us different:
Our trainers know that a well-rounded education is necessary to understand how to train and live with dogs. Our trainers take our classes to the next level by keeping up with the latest advancements in training methods through continued education. This allows them to develop programs that work for the average dog while also being able to understand individual dog breeds, behaviors and needs to provide your dog the best chance to succeed in training. And who better to look after your dog during daycare than a well-educated dog trainer?
How we do that thing we do so well:
Wonder Dog Training is achieved by incorporating fun into the latest training methods. We know that keeping people and dogs entertained is key to successful training. As training is a link to the bonding relationship between owner and dog, keeping focused on fun rather than simply being instructional helps ensure successful training and a greater bond between you and your dog.
So stop reading through our web site. Come in and meet with us and you'll see what all the talk is about.

This letter is in response to very misleading statements made by your editorial staff in an "In Our Opinion" column dated Nov. 16. In the editorial you advised that "Few Buckeye State workers in the private sector enjoy defined benefit pensions funded 90 percent by employers." Public pensions in Ohio are not funded 90 percent by the taxpayer/employers. In the case of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, employees pay 10 percent of their wages into the system and the governmental agency they work for pays 14 percent into the system; not the 90 percent you allude to. These funds combined together and invested in American companies and businesses provide the monthly benefits to retired public workers.
You also talk about the enjoyment of a defined benefit pension. I'm sure you are aware that Social Security is also a defined benefit system enjoyed by 55 million Americans. These monthly Social Security benefits are paid out through the good faith and credit of our federal government as opposed to investments in private companies with public pensions. However, you may not be aware that public employees that work other jobs in the private sector before, during and after their public employment pay their full tax share into the Social Security system but are prohibited by law to receive full benefits.
In this same editorial you seem to want to allude that public employees are not taxpayers and that only private sector employees pay to keep public pensions solvent. That is far from the truth. Every single public worker pays the same tax rate as a private sector employee and their taxes like all others support their own community, county and state.
Finally, nearly two years ago in 2009, the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System submitted to the Ohio State Legislature a list of proposed changes to maintain the solvency of the system that did not include additional taxpayer funding. This legislation has languished in committees and needs acted upon now.

Many parents waited hours just to see and hug their children after hearing about a lock down Wednesday at Liberty High School in Bethlehem.
Some communicated by text, but that still didn't ease their fears.
Parents said it was a call they never expected.
"It's very scary," said Dawn Smith. "My worst nightmare. Never expected this in Bethlehem."
As mothers and fathers rushed from home and work, their only communication was via text message.
"He just said that they saw the SWAT team, and I guess they are in a different part of the building than where he is at," said Shelia Diaz, after rushing to the scene from work.
Some parents said they didn't text on purpose.
"In this situation, you have to think about the safety of your child and are you going to put him at risk," said Jennifer Holland, as she waited for her son.
Finally, after seeing armed police walk the rooftops, some got a reassuring word.
"She said, 'Mommy, I'm OK. I love you,'" said Lisa Trinidad, whose daughter told 69 News that some students were scared because they didn't have cell service.
"It got pretty intense. A lot of people were really worried about everything," said Marilee Ortiz.
Once parents were reunited with their children, it helped ease the fears.

Israel's plans to construct a ramp at Mugrabi Gate � one of the entrances to the Muslim holy sites at Al Aksa compound in Jerusalem � led to protests and violence across the Muslim world, fueled in part by cartoons and articles in the Muslim and Arab press and statements by Islamic leaders accusing Israel of attempting to destroy a Muslim holy site. This sampling of editorial cartoons and quotations shows how the issue was used to spread anti-Israel myths and anti-Semitic stereotypes.

First Velveeta, and now this - a national clown shortage.
According to the New York Daily News, clowns are dropping like shaving cream pies.
Forgive me for stating the obvious, but those really are big shoes to fill.
Clowns of America International President Glen Kohlberger told the Daily News that the World Clown Association lost 1,000 clowns in the last 10 years. Membership stands at about 2,500, which, I think, qualifies clowns as an endangered species.
''The challenge is getting younger people involved in clowning,'' association president Deanna ''Dee Dee'' Hartmier told the Daily News.
The older clowns are dying off, and young Americans are looking for ''real'' jobs, she said.

Seriously? I'm positive that every time I set my big foot in the mall, I'm surrounded by kids trying out for the part.
Lately, we've been beset by shortages.
In September, Kraft began running short of Velveeta processed cheese product. By early February, it was a national crisis, what with all the Super Bowl parties. Velveeta makes up a huge percentage of football food.
A little more than a year ago, field corn ran short. Cattle farmers switched to candy corn.
CNN reported that farmers and bovine nutritionists mixed cattle feed with chocolate bars, gummi worms, marshmallows, crumbled cookies, breakfast cereal and powdered hot chocolate mix.
Corn was selling for about $315 a ton in October 2012. Ice cream sprinkles ran about $160 a ton.
Candied beef, it's what's for dinner.
With the cold and snow, there's been a road salt shortage in a lot of communities across the snow belt area. (Instead of just a snowbelt, this year, it's more like a snow greatcoat, with matching hat, scarf and clown-sized boots.)
I often suspect my paycheck also runs short of my true value. My boss has a different theory on this subject, but it's too crazy to mention here.
We're also running rather short on patience, temper, IQ, civility and common sense.
Worse than shortages are the abundance of other commodities.
There's no shortage of entities willing to tax us.
There's no shortage of calories in my candy bars. Sometimes I fear I've met a candy bar shortage, but I'm informed by others - my wife, mother and doctor - that I am not.
There's no shortage of TV reality shows. We've got models, wives, singles, remodelers, duck hunters, sports teams, singers, dancers, world travelers, bosses, designers, entrepreneurs, celebrities, wrestlers, roommates, survivors, kids, judges, cops, robbers, bounty hunters, rescuers, pawners, treasure hunters, cooks, bakers, and probably candlestick makers.
I hope that the Play-Doh industry and the blowing bubbles industry are doing OK. We need the sanity break.
And clowns. More clowns would help. Then again, I think they're already here. Just like the World Clown Association said, they went out and got ''real'' jobs. Which explains a lot about certain co-workers you've wondered about.
The clowns have been found.
Let's hope they don't get a reality show.

CLEVELAND - In a way, Johnny Manziel showed a sense of relief when addressing the media after being informed that Brian Hoyer had been named the Browns starting quarterback.
Manziel admitted that he didn't perform well enough to earn the job. He then cautioned critics who wonder if he can make the adjustment from the college game to the NFL.
"If people would have seen me my first year and a half at (Texas) A&M, they would have said there's no way this kid could get to where I am today," Manziel said. "People don't understand that my first year and a half at A&M I was terrible. I would never have gotten to this point if I played the way I did at A&M the first year and a half.
"I just tried to get better. I learned the playbook, got more comfortable around everybody, and then good things happened for me."
The biggest adjustment for Manziel as a backup might be in dealing with the smaller spotlight that will be on him, on and off the field. He laughed when contemplating a diminished stature on social media websites.
"I'm the backup quarterback. I shouldn't be in the spotlight," Manziel said. "Who knows if that will actually be the case, but it would be nice. I don't think it's going to happen."
FIRST CALL: Hoyer never had a chance to make a quick phone call to a family member after being informed of coach Mike Pettine's decision because he had to go straight to a team meeting.
"By the time that meeting was done I had like 37 text messages," Hoyer said. "I think the media broke it before I could break it to anyone else."
OTHER CALLS: The quarterback decision wasn't the only starting call made by Pettine. Rookie cornerback Justin Gilbert had a strong showing against the Redskins and will likely be the starter while Buster Skrine recovers from thumb surgery. Craig Robertson and Chris Kirksey will share time at inside linebacker, and John Greco will start at right guard ahead of Garrett Gilkey.
"He had a great look about him," Pettine said of Gilbert. "A lot of rookies have that deer-in-the-headlights look. He didn't have that at all."
UNDER THE KNIFE: Defensive end Desmond Bryant had surgery on a wrist injury and will be out for the remainder of the preseason. Pettine said the surgery went well and that putting Bryant on injured reserve was never a consideration.
ADVERSITY ISSUES: Hoyer overcame several obstacles in being named the starter. None was greater than bouncing back from reconstructive knee surgery.
"Did I believe that could happen after I got hurt? There was no doubt in my mind," Hoyer said. "But obviously there were days when rehab sucked and I hated what I was doing, but I knew the feeling I had running off the field when we beat Cincinnati, and it's all worth it. It's amazing how much you appreciate the game when it's taken away from you."
INJURY REPORT: Receiver Nate Burleson, defensive back Isaiah Trufant, defensive back Pierre Desir, defensive back T.J. Heath and defensive back K'Waun Williams worked out on stationary bikes. Bryant and Skrine didn't participate in practice.
Receiver Travis Benjamin (ribs) was on the field.
FAMILIAR FACE: Former Browns fullback/tight end Brad Smelley is listed deep on the Rams' depth chart at tight end. Smelley was a seventh-round draft pick in 2012. He appeared in two games with the Browns.

VH1's My Fair Brady stars Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight were married Monday evening, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 250 friends and family during a traditional ceremony at the Christ Episcopal Church in Curry's hometown of Joliet, Ill.
The bride wore a custom-made cream-colored Alvina Valenta gown and carried a bouquet of black roses. Her seven bridesmaids wore red evening dresses, while the groom and the groomsmen wore matching tuxedos.
In a romance made in reality-TV heaven, Curry, 23, who won the first season of America's Next Top Model, met Knight, 48, who played Peter Brady on the '70s hit The Brady Bunch, when they filmed the fourth season of VH1's The Surreal Life" in 2004.
In attendance at their wedding were former Brady Bunch stars Barry Williams (Greg Brady), Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) and Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady), as well as VH1's The Surreal Life co-star Joannie "Chyna" Laurer.
"About 14 days after I met him, I bought a bridal magazine," Curry told PEOPLE in March, about meeting Knight. "I started researching."
Last year, VH1 chronicled the couple's courtship on another reality show, My Fair Brady. Knight proposed to Curry in the show's season finale.
"It was a quiet engagement," he told PEOPLE in November. Since then, "I've noticed that she just listens to me slightly less. By the time I'm married, there will be nothing left to listen to."
Their nuptials will be documented on VH1's My Fair Brady Wedding Special premiering on VH1 in July.
This is the first marriage for Curry. Both of Knight's previous marriages ended in divorce.

Cat and Mouse Game
Grand Saga executive director Zainal Abidin Ali had issued a statement at 5pm yesterday, vowing to rebuild the barriers within a week. The company claimed that the high court had ruled against an injunction to stop the building of barriers.
This move shows that Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's effort to get all parties to resolve the long-standing problem within seven days has failed.
I happened to use the junction last weekend, on my way to Bandar Tun Hussien Onn. It was evident to me that the whole incident was not properly managed. Cars were making a beeline at the traffic light at the junction of BMC and BTHO.
After the barriers were removed, the road was not properly tarred and cars were trying to come out from the old trunk roads as well, ended up spilling over to the main road.
This continuing saga is a national shame for us. It is unfathomable why the most developed state in the country, Selangor, is still facing such an issue. At some point, I am sure the authority and stakeholders are able to sit down to find an amicable solution.
Taking action into our own hand is not going to benefit anyone, not the toll concessionaire, road users and the government. Scuffles between the two sides are bound to hurt someone someday. Allegations at the concessionaire using hired thugs to keep away residents from breaking the barricade must be seriously investigated by the police.
Malaysia is not a lawless country as portrayed. It is time to put a stop to this 'cat and mouse' game between Grand Saga and the residents.
3 comments:
Big issue...Of course, the part which you forgot or is it glossed over is the part where government thugs stood by while citizens were walloped by so called gangsters. This is no longer about roads. This is about a police force that willfully refuses to obey the law. Unless you are saying that it's legal to wallop people.
Then again it's hard to expect better from a Gerakan member. Set your own house in order before telling the rest of us what to do.
- Khoo Kay Peng said...
Dear Anon,
Don't worry, if you keep demonstrating this type of attitude it will not be long before you get booted out by your party.
You are no different from the hardcore UMNO members and supporters who won't take any criticism.
I guess you are just a young punk trying to make a mark on the blogsphere. And you have just made a lousy scar for yourself.
Gerakan members and leaders are able to handle what happened to their party. Please stop making silly assumption.
you ae right. this is not an issue of political parties. more importantly, get it right and the priority must be the citizens and not fat cat corporates.
its getting ridiculous with residents alledging that thugs are used to oversee the constrcution of the barricade. a mere denial by Grand Saga is not good enough as it begs the question as to the reason for the presence of these "thugs".

Soft Washing
How gentle is Soft Washing?
Soft Washing – This is not power washing, this is using low pressure to apply a cleaning solution to remove mold, mildew, algae, moss & airborne contaminants such as road grime and sea breeze (salt & sand). This is the most thorough cleaning method available today
Siding Materials – Safe on Stucco, Dryvit, Vinyl, Aluminum, EIFS, Brick, Stone and othersDecks – Trex and other synthetic or composite decking materials
Roof Washing – This method is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association (ARMA) to remove moss, lichen, black streaks or stains on a roof and will not void warranties
Maximize Curb Appeal – We all enjoy looking at beautiful homes. One of the easiest and inexpensive ways to maximize that charm, is to clean everything from the roof to the road utilizing Soft Washing Techniques
Maximize Property Value – Cleaner properties are more inviting, sell faster for more money & increase the value of the entire community
Soft Wash LOW Pressure Cleaning Methods combined with the highest quality cleaning solutions, enable us to provide your property with a maximum level of cleanliness & curb appeal
Click on Gallery or Roof Washing Gallery to see pictures or click here to watch videos of our state-of-the-art soft washing & roof washing techniques
Call 609-412-3033 or Email. A professional will give you a FREE property evaluation.
** Bonuses of using the soft wash process are –
1) Wash up to four stories high WITHOUT the use of ladders or scaffolding
2) Requires much less water than high pressure power washing – saving both time and money
3) A more thorough cleaning than high pressure power washing
Power Washing
Soft Washing
Problem – Power washing or pressure washing is the use of high pressure water to remove mold, algae, lichen, moss, and other contaminants from a surface. It will produce enough pressure to cause significant damage to any surface including concrete, stone and brick. High pressure power washing machines, even small electric power washers, can cause serious, irreversible damage when not used properly (see pictures below).
Solution – Specialized Accessories & Techniques have been developed to create what is called Soft Washing or Soft Wash. This involves the use of a variety of cleaning solutions to lift and remove the contaminants from siding, roofing and paving materials. The process consists of applying a cleaning solution & then rinsing away the unwanted material while using only LOW PRESSURE. The low pressure is similar to that of a garden hose.
Soft washing is safe for use on dryvit, EIFS, stucco, vinyl, aluminum, wood and just about every other siding material. Trex and other synthetic or semi-synthetic decking materials clean up incredibly well with our process. Black streaks or black roof stains don't stand a chance against a good soft wash.
Visit the house washing gallery and roof washing gallery to view many before & after pictures demonstrating how thorough soft washing is. Also available are roof washing video, a house washing video and two soft washing videos.
Below are examples of properties that have been damaged by high pressure power washing equipment
– Pictures come from professional soft washers around the Country who have run into this type of damage. We share them to help educate home owners and property managers

Jeremiah's At The Bullfrog was the scene Saturday afternoon for "The Inside Out Project: Williamsport Proud," a global art effort celebrating the pride and diversity of Williamsport.
About 100 people showed up at the downtown site to have their photos taken by Williamsport Area High School art students for eventual inclusion in the mural that will help showcase the city.
Williamsport Area High School Art Teacher Andrea McDonough Varner, who coordinated the project, noted that anyone who signed up it could have their images captured free of charge.
Article Photos
Williamsport Area High School Senior Kennedy Englert snaps a shot of another student whose photo will be included in "The Inside Out Project: Williamsport Proud." About 100 people signed up to have their photos taken by the high school's art students.
"Our action statement is Williamsport Proud," she said.
The WASD Education Foundation's Teacher Mini-Grant Fund sponsored the project.
"I think it's a great way to showcase our Williamsport pride," said Williamsport student Schai Bilger.
The international project, winner of the 2011 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Prize, is the brainstorm of artist JR.
It is described as a "large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work," according to www.insideoutproject.net.
More than 120,000 people worldwide have participated in the portrait-producing project.
The TED Prize is an annual $1 million award given to an exceptional individual who wishes to spark global change.
This marked the first year it is being done locally.
The hope Saturday was to photograph as many black and white portraits as possible of people throughout the community.
The portraits are to be printed as 36-by-53-inch posters and will be installed on the high school's campus in a display that will celebrate the diversity, talent, opportunity and beauty found in the school's community.
"Oh, this is such a neat project," said Cari Staron, who was among area adult residents agreeing to have her photo taken. "It's an incredible opportunity for these students to get their work recognized."
Kennedy Englert, a senior high school student, said she was having fun taking picture of students and others.
And, it was a learning experience for her.
"I have not done a lot of photography," she said.
