Free Spay-and-Neuter Coupons Return to Los Angeles
We were appalled when the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services terminated a crucial program that assists low-income residents by offering coupons for free spaying and neutering of their animal companions.
Thankfully, city officials woke right up after the tremendous outcry from local residents, and the city of Los Angeles is once again doing its part to curb the companion animal overpopulation crisis.
That's a smart move, Los Angeles.
It must be really difficult to defend the elimination of a spay-and-neuter program when millions of homeless animals are running through the streets dodging cars, evading cruel humans, and enduring extreme weather conditions—let alone pumping out litter after litter of babies.
As anyone who works in the animal protection field knows, spay-and-neuter programs are essential for getting at the core of the animal overpopulation crisis. When 6 to 8 million homeless animals are dropped off at animal shelters every year, finding homes just isn't good enough. The key is prevention—and spaying and neutering, my friends, is the answer.

do you give dicount coupon for spayinf a dog?
That's the way L.A. Good job Angelenos! Keep speaking out about the importance of spaying and neutering animals!
Yeah while the majority of no kill shelters are probably evil the one near me fixes random feral cats for free and has volunteers walk its animals each day. So personally while there are alot of evil shelters I don't see how you can assume that all are evil.
READ THE LA PAPERS! The failure of Mr No Kill Ed Boks has been documented for a long time including public meetings demanding his firing. Another trick of No Kill? They were turning animals away because of overcrowding and refusal to euthanize which then reproduced and made the problem even worse. Plus many were abandoned outside to suffer horrible deaths. This is also what Nathan Winograd the No Kill pusher now affiliated with breeders promotes with his No Kill. No Kill is doing so much damage to pets but the No Kill people want to keep bringing in donations by hiding the failures and pretending it works.
Wow Kelly that's interesting. Do you have any references? I'm not challenging youI just want to learn more!
You know who ENDED the spay neuter program? The NO KILL head of animal services! who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year They are warehousing and abusing so many animals typical of No Kill that they are running out of money and all animals are suffering more. There are pets crammed into cages killing each other and disease killing them. They are giving pets out to hoarders who are killing them. No Kill is a Killer!! It is the worst fraud ever perpetuated on innocent animals by the con artists that sell No Kill to make a buck for themselves.

Our Recommendations: 3 Things to Consider When Comparing Airline Credit Cards
Airline Miles Credit Card Promotions
Are You a Frequent Flyer?
Many airlines partner up with credit card companies to offer co-branded credit cards. If you fly frequently with one airline, signing up for a co-branded card with that airline can be a way to shave off some of the cost or hassle of flying. Such cards usually let you take advantage of unique perks often reserved for frequent flyers such as checked bag allowances or priority boarding.
Here are some airlines that have co-branded cards:
In exchange for the plusses you get with these types of cards, however, you may lose flexibility. It may take longer to earn rewards when you use the card on everyday purchases (usually you have higher rewards potential only when you buy airline tickets), and you may be limited in how you redeem the rewards.
Redeeming Points: Airline Transfer Partners
Here's our suggestion: Instead of a co-branded card with a particular airline, look for a credit card that allows you to transfer points to an airline's frequent flyer program.
Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) points, called Starpoints, can be transferred to more than 30 frequent traveler programs, including American Airlines.
American Express Membership Rewards (AMEX MR) points can be transferred to over a dozen frequent travelers programs, including airlines like Delta and hotel chains like Hilton, Best Western, and Starwood.
Chase Ultimate Rewards (Chase UR) points can be transferred to frequent travelers programs too. Chase Ultimate Rewards airline transfer partners include United and Southwest Airlines. Their hotel transfer partners include Hyatt, Marriott, and the Ritz-Carlton.
Here are our suggestions on how you can earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points:
When you find the right airline credit card, you can go far both literally and figuratively. You can make inroads in your rewards and loyalty programs and you can get a nice deal when you redeem the rewards for flights or hotel stays.
PS: Don't forget about hotel loyalty programs. Here is a list of the best hotel credit cards for free nights.

Skip to comments.YES, I'D DROP THE BOMB AGAIN
Posted on 05/25/2010 3:52:48 PM PDT by Repeal The 17th
click here to read article
The Merchant Marine was a very tough place to be in WWII. Losses were horrendous. Your Dad was a brave man and what he did was crucial to the success of the Allied war effort.
RIP indeed. We owe all these men a great deal.
The Cambridge Group (UK) tipped off the Red Chinese that Truman wouldn't use the bomb in Korea.
BTW: Tibbetts was next on the runway when the prior B-29 lost altitude upon takeoff and crashed into the ocean.
The crew were all lost.
Does that in any way mean we should not have developed the bomb? No. Even the slightest chance of Hitler with that weapon was enough to make the command decision for the Manhattan Project the right one.
The events leading up to the decision were actually quite stunning. The silence from Germany regarding atomic research was deafening after the scientists left in the latter 1930s. So much so that the imaginations of many allied top government and scientific folks took hold and viola, Hitler was on a crash course to build the bomb.
In fact, the exact exchange went as follows:
On October 11, 1939, Dr, Alexander Sachs, a personal friend of FDR, met with him in the Oval Office. Sachs had prepared an 800 word synopsis of a letter written by Dr. Leo Szilard and signed by Albert Einstein about the impact of Germany's nuclear program.
FDR never read the letter but scanned the synopsis. After sipping a bit of brandy and absorbing the content's high points, FDR spoke:
"Alex, what you are after is to see that the Nazis don't blow us up."
"Precisely," Sachs replied.
"This requires action," said FDR. He called for his personal assistant and that's the moment the decision was made.
Can you imagine that conversation today? Scares me half to death pondering it.
In 1945, as the war was ending in Europe, we sent a special force of specialists, called the Alsos Mission, to discover what the Germans were up to. We surpassed them in 1942 according to their report.
At the end of the war, their program was essentially a contingency operation with a few scientists and engineers working on a heavy-water-moderated reactor.
After being moved around a lot during the war, the reactor pot, measuring 83 inches tall by 83 inches wide, wound up in a cooling cellar of a castle in the town of Haigerloch. It's now a tourist attraction — open 9 to 5 daily.
Put another way, where do you even start with such a person? He has visited Japan, and thinks the dropping of the two bombs is one of the greatest historical wrongs ever done to any people on earth. I dont want to write a book-length email back to him, and Im not sure that would do any good. Brevity is the soul of wit, and a short reply is likely to make a stronger impact on him than a very lengthy one.
There are some ideas already on this thread I can use. If anybody has anything to add, Ill be profoundly appreciative. Im going to be in and out, so I may not be able to thank Freepers as quickly as Id like. So thank you in advance!"
Keep the reply as simple as possible, I'd go with what Walter would say to someone like him:
That sounds about right.
A cease fire was announced in 1953 and so it continues today!
Pattons mysterious death still haunts me.. History could have been alot different if Ole Blood and Guts may god bless him, lived and was not murdered.
Thank you SOOO much for your reply! I've learned a few things about the bombs over the years, but I realize there is so much I don't know. Your post was jam packed with purely excellent information. I can't thank you enough!
Most Americans did what they could and gave their best. My father was too old to step forward (born 1906) but had been a pilot for CNAC in China before the war.
He found a place in the CBI as a civilian pilot, flying the Hump in a C-46.
He was burned in a crash landing, received treatment at an Army hospital stateside but never received veteran's benefits or recognition.
Thank you VERY much!! That thread looks like a treasure trove of information. I'd have never found it on my own. Between it and some of the other posts, I feel I am very close to being able to put together a compelling reply.
[For the record, this is a very nice person with very decent motives. He's just had no education to speak of, and critical thought and he simply have never crossed paths. He's open to learning, though; he went from being a Man-made Global Warming true believer to a chagrined skeptic calling B.S. all over the place. So time and effort isn't wasted on him, but sometimes additional resources are required. You all have come through in spades. Thank you!!]
time and effort AREN'T wasted
lol :)
[info on supply of A-Bombs] Thanks. Interesting stuff. Guess I'll have to read up on Groves. I know some, but not enough about him.
Those who regularly advocate the U.S. should have dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki often cite casualty avoidance. People generally extrapolate from 48,000 American and 230,000 Japanese losses at Okinawa to 500,000 American and millions of Japanese casualties for mainland invasions.
Those estimates could have vastly understated causalities. Japan at 374,000 mountainous square miles mathematically enables over 500 defensives redoubts comparable to that General Ushijimas constructed to inflict most losses for the Okinawa campaign. Also, the Japanese planned as stubborn defense of their cities as the Russians had maintained in Stalingrad and Leningrad. The siege of Leningrad went on for 872 days with German and Russian casualties exceeding the 2 million of combined losses at Stalingrad.
The War Faction adopted the motto of 100 million Japanese deaths for planning the final mainland battles. The Japanese had lost their island empire and their fleet was at the bottom of the ocean. Yet many resources remained. Besides kamikazes, redeployed Kwantung divisions from China, and bamboo spears for civilians, the allies faced biological warfare. Occupation searchers uncovered large stockpiles of viruses, spirochetes, and fungus spores throughout rural Japan. The Japanese had spent years field testing the effectiveness of biological warfare in China. One delivery plan directed Japanese to infect themselves then surrender.
The Greatest Generation and their parents would have been enraged to discover a cabal indulged a personal moral orthodoxy by condemning over 500,000 Americans who might otherwise have been saved.
In terms of understanding the Japanese character, I have not seen mentioned the critical role Kokutai played in surrender. Any prominent Japanese lived out this spiritual combination of Emperor, citizen, land, ancestral spirits, government, and Shinto religion. When Emperor Hirohito in January 1944 formally endorsed forming a Peace Faction among politicians, he initiated an elaborate national theater. He and advisors then debated through twenty months of continuous defeats, fire bombings of over 60 cities, and 1.3 million additional Japanese deaths. The atomic bombs removed the Final Battles argument, allowing the War Faction to relent, Hirohito to assume his unprecedented roll, and no one to lose face. They remained within the fabric of Japanese from all eras who had sacrificed for Emperor and Empire.
People often say Japan was in the process of surrendering. However, if one examines Japanese negotiation initiatives in early August 1945, they are simply too vacuous to make dropping the atomic bombs unnecessary. These supposed negotiations cite proposals Foreign Minister Togo directed Ambassador Sato to offer Molotov, the Russian foreign minister. Japan intended ensuring Russian neutrality with incentives including offers of conquered Chinese territory. In exchange Russia was to mediate talks with the allies for settlement according to a Japanese vision of peace with honor. The first June 29 contacts ignored allies surrender demands with proposals the Russians considered too vague to answer or pass to the allies. The August 2 Japanese proposals accepted the Potsdam Declaration as one basis for further study regarding terms. Again Russia saw no reason to inform the allies. When Ambassador Sato finally saw Molotov on August 8, two days after Hiroshima, he received a war declaration instead of answers to his latest proposals. U.S. cryptologists continuously reading the Japanese diplomatic code titled Magic confirmed even Sato considered Togos Russian contacts ineffectual. The several other contacts like those by Admiral Fujimura and Kojimo Kitamura with Allen Dulles in Switzerland were ad hoc and lacked even informal endorsement by the Japanese Cabinet.
In spite of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and the Russian declaration of war the Japanese Cabinet debated Final Battles arguments into utter physical and mental exhaustion for eleven hours following Nagasaki on August 9. The war faction still contended just 20 million Japanese dead in vigorous, protracted operations would force a decayed, war weary America into stalemate leaving the Home Islands intact. In the final meeting of Hirohito and his Cabinet, Barron Hiranuma reproved Foreign Minister Togo for never making concrete proposals to the Russians. Minister Togo had no answer.
At impasse Hirohito, the god-king, spoke the Voice of the Crane in the 30 by 18 sweltering, underground bunker. He would bear the unbearable, conclude the war, and transform the nation. Only then did Japan contact Swiss and Swedish foreign offices to commence negotiations with allied belligerents.
As one final point, critics say the atomic bombs accomplished little. Supposedly Roosevelts decree of unconditional surrender was compromised away by allowing Japan to keep their Emperor. However, Imperial Japan abandoned its heritage by accepting the Potsdam Declaration provisions demanding the Emperors and governments authority be subject to the Supreme Allied Commander. The Japanese peoples free expression would determine ultimate government, eradicating multi-millennial Imperial characteristics. An approximate Western historical disruption would be displaying the bones of Jesus at the Vatican.
I seem to remember a show on the History channel. It stated that even as the emperor was sending the message for surrender, that elements of the Japanese military were attempting a coup to prevent the surrender. This was after the two bombs. A conventional strike by B29's broke it up. The two nukes were the only way to prevent more blood shed.
Interesting. Thanks for the post.
>> The Japanese peoples free expression would determine ultimate government, eradicating multi-millennial Imperial characteristics.
All in all — and compared to what might have been — I don't think things turned out too badly for the Japanese people.
"The crew of the Enola Gay very well might have saved his life and countless hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of other lives Japanese as well as Americans."
I was teaching my students about this today. The battle of Okinawa indicated that the Japanese would have to be completely destroyed, and the War Department estimated at the time that an invasion of Honshu (where Tokyo was located) would result in a million dead US soldiers. The decision to drop the bomb was a humane one.
Wow - that is a ***fascinating*** post. I've read it once, and as time permits I plan to read it again. I am learning so much on this thread! Freepers are some of the most intelligent, smartest and well educated people on earth - with enough common sense to float a battle ship. ;)
Very, VERY interesting! There is so much more to all this than I realized. I learned next to nothing about it in school, but I tried my best to educate myself ~three years ago. But facts and details such as the ones that are popping up all over this thread are hard to come by. What a blessing this has turned out to be!
I had the pleasure of working with a man who was in a similar circustance when the bomb was dropped, training for the landing that was expected to cost a million lives. Interestingly enough, we were working at the factory in Oak Ridge where the uranium for Little Boy was separated. After being discharged and going to school, he said that was the only place he wanted to work. He was certain the bomb saved his life. Being raised locally to Oak Ridge, he said we was quite a celebrity in his unit... one of the few folks who knew where Oak Ridge was.
Just adding a bit of interesting anecdotal history to the 509th thas all. The Merchant Marine provided invaluable help for the war effort. My hat is off to all of our Merchant Marine. They were brave souls indeed and were unsung heros and rarely got the recognition they deserved.

If you have a chance look into the Japanese secret weapons programs from the war. They were not too far from having a number of jet aircraft which would have turned our bombers into Swiss cheese.
I often wonder just how far back the infiltration goes..
Easily back to the end of WWI, probably back to 1900 or before as the European "intellectuals" started arriving on our shores. History will most likely show that the damage they wreaked was far worse than what we have seen (so far) from Mexican illegals.
Then there's the populist/JBS theory that the American Establishment (the Rockefellers, Morgans, Whitneys, Mellons, Carnegies, Fords, etc.) are actually the bosses of Communism and secretly ran Russia from the US (which would seem to make Russian spies unnecessary) Basically it's a Jeffersonian vision of the Hamiltonian political tradition as The Source Of All Evil.
He didn't actually die in the traffic accident. He was hospitalized with his injuries, but survived until the 'experts' arrived from DC to treat him.
Also keep in mind that it was the Japanese attitude towards surrender in the first place which was foremost in the minds of the people who decided to use the Atomic weapons.
Every island the Americans took was ghastly with practically zero Japanese survivors. The fighting got worse the closer they got to the Japanese homeland itself. Even with impossible odds, impossible numbers against them, no supplies to speak of, no air force, no fleet - the Japanese defenders fight to the death - every time. Now imagine you are planning on the invasion of Japan itself? What do you think the Japanese defense would have been like? I'll tell you: it would have been beyond anything ever seen in that war.
The Japanese themselves should be grateful a full Allied ground invasion never took place. Their country would not exist today as they know it.
I studied Japanese and really learned to love the Japanese people -- once I got away from the ones who were jaded by being near the US military bases. I also loved to explore and photograph the picturesque and peaceful countryside.
In my wanderings, I discovered that any sizeable hill had a Shinto/Buddhist temple or shrine atop it -- many of them serene jewels of photogenic beauty. So -- I climbed lots of hills...
BUT, I also discovered that the sides of those hills were riddled with WWII caves, tunnels, bunkers and gun emplacements. Taking Japan would have been far more dangerous and bloody than Okinawa or Iwo Jima -- where we fought for every foot of ground, and often had to burn or blast the Japanese out of their caves.
Of course, the Japanese islands are much larger than Iwo, and the Japanese would have been fighting fanatically for their own homes. The slaughter would have been horrific -- and, like Afghanistan, it could have gone on for many years.
The unconditional surrender of Japan shortened the war by several years and saved untold millions of lives (on both sides).
In the 70s, I had the privilege and honor of having lunch at a small inn in Osaka with one of Japan's preeminent materials scientists. During lunch, he shared with me that, when I was a young schoolchild, he had the experience of being one of the very first Japanese Army officers to enter Hiroshima after the bombing.
He told of hiking miles back along the railway to find a working telegraph so he could tell headquarters that the US had deployed a "totally undefeatable weapon", and that they should end the war. He said he was overjoyed when the Nagasaki bomb "finally made our leaders see the truth" and surrender.
After lunch, he put his hand on my shoulder and said,
"You were only an 'aka-chan' in 1945, but, if it had not been for those two bombs, you would probably still be over here with a rifle, now, fighting to get my children out of their caves."
"You can thank the Atomic Bomb that we both surived to share and enjoy this lunch together today as colleagues and friends..."
Thanks again - that is a very powerful post. I am so, SO glad I posed my question/request on this thread. The response has been beyond anything I could have hoped for. These are some insights and perspectives I doubt I could have gotten anywhere else. I still need to distill it down into a single email, but at least I have all my material now. Thanks!!
One of them. I agree.
Wouldn't defeating Germany and Japan also be one of the highest points? How much devastation and brutality would have happened if they had not been stopped?
What a story! (Are you a writer?) That is an amazing tale. Pity I can't simply direct my friend to this thread, but it's out as an option. He got called a few choice names (not undeservedly so ;) so I'll have to use it as a resource only. That's for the best anyway, no doubt.
Btw, TXnMA, you might be interested to know that I spent an almost identical period of exile in MA. Native of FL, and now residing in GA. I can't really say what I feel about MA for fear of offending Freepers who call it home. Suffice it to say I was really happy the day I saw it getting smaller in the rear view window. :)
FReepmail for you...
"Wouldnt defeating Germany and Japan also be one of the highest points? How much devastation and brutality would have happened if they had not been stopped?"
Not the point. In fact, Churchill would have railed at the waste. He warned about what was going to happen in Europe in 1930. Europe did nothing until it was VERY NEARLY too late.
Thank you. I just got a new book from the U.S. Naval Institute press called "Hell to Pay" by D.M. Giangreco, which gives a comprehensive study of the consequenses of invading the Japanese mainland. I think it would be worth picking up.
During the 1990's Paul Tibbets, Tom Ferebee (the bombardier) and "Dutch" Van Kirk toured the US on a book and photo signing tour. My grandson and I went to one of the locations on that tour.
I had the privilege of a short conversation with Tibbets and then with Dutch.
I told Tibbets that I had an uncle who was one of the Marines preparing for the invasion of Japan at the time the bomb was dropped and that my uncle was very thankful that it ended the war. Tibbets replied, "We would like to think we made a difference" . He was very humble when he made that statement.
I said the same thing to "Dutch". He said " thank you" and then asked "did he turn out to be a good man?"
I answered yes. Dutch didn't speak, he simply gave a nod of approval.
Not really, but -- thanks for the compliment! <Grin!>
I agree, there have been some excellent insights posted here. Perhaps you could just copy/paste some of them as an "appendix" to your short note to him.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't use my "Nihonjin na tomodachi"'s name, but otherwise, what I wrote, I wrote for you to use as you see fit.
Remember those orange, plastic "snow pushers"? I swore I was going to strap mine atop the car and head south until someone asked,
"Say, Mister, what the hell is that there thang?"
Then I'd know I could start looking for a place to retire... '-)
You might want to read the book: Code-Name Downfall (The secret plan to invade Japan and why Truman dropped the bomb) by Thomas B Allen & Norman Polmar.
An interesting and I believe factual book about using the atomic bomb and the options of using other types of weapons that The United States military and civilian government discussed as how to defeat and/or destroy Japan.
It could have been much worse!
It sounds like a fascinating book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for the ping. Absolutely nothing to worry about where proper names are concerned; I'm as close as the tomb. ;) I loved your snow shovel story. Snow wasn't the worst of what I wanted to flee when I lived in MA, but I haven't missed it as often as I'd have imagined. What can I tell you? Southern by the grace of God. :)
My friend is actually quite intelligent - BUT, as I've discovered, they do a good job of indoctrination north of the border. He did a 180 on global warming, but he simply cannot see the problems with nationalized health-care. Maybe I planted some seeds that will bear fruit later in the future.
It remains to be seen if I can shift his outlook on nuclear weapons. I've been stymied by the thought that ***anyone*** could think unilateral disarmament of the USA is a good thing in this area. Armed with all my new information, I feel as if I'm willing to give that windmill a tilt. We'll see what happens. :)
"Wouldnt defeating Germany and Japan also be one of the highest points? "
Of course. Do you really have to ask that question? Had the Axis powers won the world would be a very different place.
Very sad that humanity reached such a low point that the intervention was necessary. But that's humanity for you.
Apparently I do since it was stated that it was one of the lowest points in history.
Just wanted to point out there are two sides to the coin. It was the lowest with all the needless death created by Germany and Japan. But if it was not for the US and Great Britain it would have much worse.
You are right though, it is just human nature, there will always be tyrants. Hopefully there will always be someone to rise up against them as well.
I saw something once about them having a V1 type jet with a pilot that they were using. They were planning to crash these into our fleets. I think the war ended before thy could enough engines for these.

As far as Cowboy football players are concerned, Staley is the resident expert on the effects of knee injuries. By now, it's been well documented. In August of 2009, Staley, a converted fullback, tore multiple ligaments and caused severe nerve damage in his right knee during training camp.
His recovery was one part miracle, and one part intense rehab. Three years ago, there were doubts that Staley would walk again. Today, the senior is an integral part of OSU's short-passing game. In three games this season, he's recorded 80 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Staley gives the credit for his recovery to his strong faith and the intense rehabilitation sessions he had with strength coach Rob Glass – possibly some of the same rehab sessions Lunt will face.
If the rumored reports are true, that Lunt will miss 2-3 weeks with a dislocated right knee cap, then he will face a quick recovery; nothing like what Staley went through. But Staley said no matter the severity, all athletes with injured knees face the same issues upon return.
"I would definitely say it's mental," Staley said. "When I first came back, I was hesitant to run the ball. I was scared to get my knee hit even though I wore a knee brace."
When Lunt returns, every move he makes will hinge on that knee.
"The main thing is that you have to gain that confidence in yourself, and hopefully your friends and family around you are pushing you to that confidence," Staley said. "It won't be the same, but hopefully it will be close at some point."
By now, Staley has had the opportunity to give Lunt some advice as he embarks on his recovery. Because head coach Mike Gundy won't announce the details regarding player injuries until Friday, it's hard to say exactly what Staley has told his freshman quarterback.
But during postgame against Louisiana, Staley said he'd make one thing clear in his pep talk.
"Believe in that treatment," Staley said. "If you don't give that treatment 100 percent, you won't come back even close to 95 or 100 percent. Just keeping his head up, not getting depressed about it. Your teammates care about you, your family cares about you … People say things happen for a reason, maybe this is one, I don't know what the reason is. Just gotta pray about it every night."

While being a structured program, we strive to validate each child's personality and personal style of movement, and to encourage freedom of expression.

If you mean the ones from McDonalds, then its ingredients are fruit, ice and "low fat yogurt" (halfway down page 23 of this PDF)....the problem is that low fat yogurt can contain TONS of stuff that they aren't listing out. It's likely LOADED with high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup solids.
Besides, a ton of fruit on its own is a lot of sugar.
Last edited by carlh; 03-30-2011 at 12:33 PM.
Oh, hey, you know what? Here's an easier-accessed ingredients list:
McDonald's USA - Wild Berry Smoothie (Small)
I'll bold the reasons you shouldn't eat this stuff. The SMALL size has 48 grams of carbs! My recommendation would be to get a blender and throw some real yogurt and real fruit in it along with your protein powder.
Wild Berry Fruit Blend
Strawberry puree, water, sugar, blackberry puree, blueberry puree, concentrated pineapple juice, concentrated apple juice, contains less than 1% of the following: cellulose powder, xanthan gum, colored with fruit and vegetable juice, natural (botanical source) and artificial flavors, pectin, citric acid.
Low Fat Yogurt (Cultured Grade A reduced fat milk, sugar, whey protein concentrate, fructose, corn starch, gelatin. Contains active yogurt cultures.)

I would agree with carlh... I would steer clear of any fast food purchased fruit smoothie... even in a pinch. I'd rather pass it up and fast.
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

After his chapter 13 case was dismissed without a plan being confirmed, the debtor moved to compel the trustee to release funds he was holding in payment to the debtor's attorney, alleging that section 1326(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code mandates the disbursement of those funds. The issue addressed by the Court was whether a third-party citation to discover assets, which was served upon the trustee by creditor Brendan Financial, Inc. and which initiated supplementary proceedings in the Circuit Court of Cook County, trumps the release of funds to the debtor's attorney. The Court found that Brendan Financial violated the Barton doctrine by initiating supplementary proceedings in the state court without obtaining leave of the Bankruptcy Court. The Court also concluded that section 1326(a)(2) governs the matter and that the plain language of that statute mandates the disbursement of funds to the debtor's attorney. Accordingly, the Court granted the debtor's motion and directed the trustee to release funds to the debtor's attorney in accordance with the Court's order which granted the attorney's application for compensation.

Judge Janet S. Baer
April 18, 2013
March 14, 2013
Counsel for the Debtor filed an amended fee application in this chapter 13 case. Notwithstanding counsel's agreement to the flat fee pursuant to the Court-Approved Retention Agreement, he sought approval of a fee of $23,379, which was $19,879 over the court-authorized flat fee. The issue before the Court was whether this case presented "extraordinary circumstances" that would warrant the additional fee. In reviewing both the history of activity in the case and counsel's itemized time records, the Court found certain services to be extraordinary and granted fees of $14,140 in addition to the $3,500 flat fee, as well as $323 for reimbursement of expenses. The Court denied fees as to the remaining amounts requested in the amended fee application.

Judge Jacqueline P. Cox
March 19, 2013
11 B 40944 (jointly administered)
In this memorandum opinion, the Court denied confirmation of the Debtor's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization. The Court noted that to satisfy the Bankruptcy Code's requirement that the Debtor's Plan be fair and equitable, a plan must propose an interest rate adequate to assure the realization of the Bank's claim. In this case, the Court determined that the interest rate advanced by the Debtor did not sufficiently capture the risk that the Debtor would not satisfy the Bank's claim. The Court also determined that the Plan was not feasible because the Debtor failed to prove that the property would increase in value enough to give the Debtor sufficient equity to facilitate refinancing at the end of 7 years to fund a balloon payment to the Bank. Also, relying on the Seventh Circuit's decision in In re Castleton Plaza, LP, No. 12-2639, 2013 WL 537269, and Bankruptcy Code Section 101(31)(B), the Court held that the nature of the plan warrants application of the absolute priority rule as the plan gave the Debtor's insider preferential access to an investment opportunity in the Reorganized Debtor without allowing others to compete for that opportunity. The Court also granted the Bank's request for relief from the automatic stay because the Debtor failed to show that there is a reasonable possibility of a successful reorganization.
Judge Pamela S. Hollis
March 13, 2013
Debtors/Plaintiffs filed for relief under Chapter 13 and confirmed their plan. They fell behind on plan payments, attempted to catch up, then voluntarily dismissed their case. The Chapter 13 Trustee was left holding a sum of money at dismissal. Debtors filed an adversary proceeding seeking turnover of the funds. The Chapter 13 Trustee argued that she must distribute the funds to creditors. Debtors filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, since no facts were in dispute. HELD: The funds must be returned to the Debtors. 11 U.S.C. 1326(a)(2), which instructs trustees to distribute certain payments to creditors in accordance with the plan, applies only to preconfirmation payments. Postconfirmation, trustees must make payments under the plan pursuant to 1326(c). At dismissal, however, 349(b)(3) revests property of the estate in the entity in which such property was vested immediately before the commencement of the case, which in the case of funds paid into the plan, held by the Chapter 13 Trustee and not yet distributed, is the Debtors.

The struggles of Toronto closers is not a new phenomenon. When it comes to the ninth innings of games, the Blue Jays have rarely had a Mariano Rivera or Brian Wilson type closer who they know will come into the game and protect a lead.
If the Blue Jays are going to be serious playoff candidates, they need to find a lights out closer. It is no coincidence that the World Series wins in 1992 and 1993 were anchored by the outstanding closing of Tom Henke and Duane Ward.
Let's take a look at the Blue Jays closing problems since 1999.

The Dejuza Orb - Plasma Pokémon

This is actually a very intriguing story about a break in for the PC. It's a nice twist on most stories I've heard of. However, there are a few things I'd like to address:
"Only 3 more Safari Balls left!" said the Safari Zone guide.
"I know that." said Andrew.
The formatting for dialogue is a bit wacky. It should be spaced out like all your other paragraphs, like this:
"Only 3 more Safari Balls left!" said the Safari Zone guide.
space here
"I know that." said Andrew.
There should be an extra space. This keeps the formatting nice and consistent.
It was Andrew's little "vacation" from work, back in Castelia City, in the Unova region.
You don't need commas before 'back' or 'in.' Also, this got a bit confusing, since I wondered where Andrew is vacationing. It's confusing. Besides, vacation would already say that he's away from work, so it would be clearer to say he's vacationing away from Castelia City.
He was almost in his
, and he planned to catch more Pokémon from the Safari Zone for his son, Warner.
Can't remember the rule about the numbers, but I'm pretty sure it's 40s for distinguishing age. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, because if you type out a decade, then it's 1940s. Anyway, I'm wondering why he's catching Pokemon for his son when his son is a trainer. Any decent trainer should be able to catch their own Pokemon to my understanding. It kind of defeats the purpose as a trainer when someone hands you Pokemon all the time.
Andrew was not so enthusiastic about visiting the Kanto region
, but he knew Warner had stored many Pokémon in Bill's PC including a
shiny Staryu
The bolded bit leads me to believe Andrew is only there for his son, even though he's not with him. I find that a little weird. And I'm not keen on the relevance of the shiny Staryu, because it sounds so odd being in there. It's just a Pokemon. It's not central to the story (as of yet), so why bother mentioning it? Why continue mentioning it? It's not worth that much merit, to be honest. And it also makes Warner seem like a Gary Stu, which is any character that has very little to no flaws along with a 'perfect life.' Be careful with Warner.
He wanted to catch as many Pokémon as possible, and deposit them all in his son's PC.
might get a surprise the next time he accesses it in Kanto.
The second sentence uses the pronoun, but it gets confusing since I'm sure you meant Warner, but it sounds like the pronoun is used for Andrew instead. Don't use pronouns if you're changing subjects.
Andrew wanted to then throw off his shirt and relax near the sea.
I thought this sentence was a bit awkward. Specifically, I think placing 'then' at the beginning of the sentence would sound beter.
He was wearing a tropical, beach-like T-shirt, safari pants and fancy boots, making him look like a complete idiot. But Andrew had his own
of fashion.
Style, I believe. Also, what Andrew wears is of no importance to the story. Character appearances rarely mean anything to the story, unless it centralizes around aliens or racism or anything related. What readers should recognize is Andrew's significance as a character, not his clothes. I'll remember Andrew as 'Warner's father' rather than 'that tacky guy.'
"The more you look different, the better you are." he used to say.
You use a comma within quotation marks when it precedes a speech tag, which is the case here. Replace the period with a comma.
Suddenly, something popped out of the grass. It was wild Chansey, looking rather alarmed to know that someone was nearby.
Situations like these call for more description. There should be some tension or surprise here, but none of this is shown. Actually, it's just blatantly stated that a Chansey popped up. It doesn't sound special.
"A wild Chansey."
Erm, breathed isn't exactly a speech tag, so it's not the best word to use. Actually, I don't think Andrew would want to say anything at all because he is trying to catch a Chansey without startling it. And the Safari Guide should have shut up as well. Yelling would only scare it off.
He had heard
that people use mischievous tricks to catch Pokémon including
physically catching them
and then throwing Safari Balls.
'News' isn't needed in this sentence; it sounds a bit off when it's in there. Also, physically catching Pokemon is insane for practically everyone unless you're Bruno or the Hulk. Pokemon could kill you, so I hope people are pouncing on Magikarp and not Nidoking.
He ran after Chansey, throwing another Safari Ball in
vain attempt to catch it.
Being picky with the article here, but 'a' sounds much more fitting than 'the.'
"You won't get away from me, Chansey!"
Promised doesn't fit as a speech tag.
I've noticed that you tend to avoid using 'said' as a speech tag like the plague, which is not a good thing. As a matter of fact, you should be using that the most often. Why? Because it's a common word and doesn't jump out of the page as 'promised' does. I would highly recommend using said more often while avoiding alternate speech tags. Not using said becomes noticeable, and that's not exactly something you want readers to be taking notice of. So try to use said more often with dialogue.
, he was a Pokémon researcher working for the world famous "PokéShon" company,
researched Pokémon history and existence.
'Why' just sounds out of place in context with the rest of the prose. It doesn't sound consistent.
You don't use 'who' because a company isn't a person. (Disregard the fact that American corporations are treated as individuals in regards to law.)
How to chase a Pokémon wasn't exactly on the list for
job priorities
in his contract.
Job priorities? Maybe every day tasks or on the job tasks, even job transcript sounds better than 'priorities.'
He was getting tired now. He decided to catch the Chansey using his strength. He leaped and caught the Chansey's leg, seconds before using the last Safari Ball on it.
This had very little tension or description in it. Also, avoid using sentences starting with the same word. In this case, 'he' is used for three consecutive sentences. Mix it up a bit, otherwise you might get caught in writing the same type of sentences over and over, and that's not a good habit. Anyway, you need more description for an event like this, because this entire prologue hinges around the fact that Andrew caught a Chansey. The purpose becomes moot when you treat it like nothing.
The Chansey came out caught.
The Chansey wouldn't come out if it was caught. It would stick in the ball.
Gasped is not a speech tag in this case. And I'd imagine Andrew breathing heavily, possibly wheezing, considering he's not used to extensive physical activity.
"Congratulations, sir," gasped the Safari Zone Guide, who apparently wasn't a good runner
, "But you must release the Chansey."
Period after 'either' not a comma.
Andrew quickly got up and
, "Why?"
Enquired jumps out of the page, like I mentioned before about speech tags.
"That's because you have used physical force to capture that Pokémon." growled the guide, having explained this
quite a lot of times
, "And that's against the rules."
Quite a lot doesn't sit well with me; I much prefer quite a few.
"But couldn't you make an exception?" pleaded
"You know how hard it is to find a wild Chansey."
Period after Andrew, not a comma. The sentence isn't continued on after the speech tag. Instead, Andrew starts a new sentence, so you use a comma.
"I couldn't reach Bill, but Professor Oak said that the Pokémon Storage system was left… "Unhandled"." said his wife.
Unhandled? He wondered. How?
This makes it sound like Andrew and his family are the exclusive users of the PC system. You want to use single quotations (like 'this') when you're quoting something within dialogue as it prevents anything from getting clutter-y. And I think his wife would have wanted to talk with the police first rather than Bill, even though Bill is clearly the logical answer. It's instinctual and theft goes to police.
Onto Chapter Two:

The Pokemon choice made it seem like the league was in Sinnoh rather than Unova. Also, you feel well, not good. And 'too good a while back' sounds a bit weird in context with a battle. Perhaps 'Infernape was exhausted' is a better description?

It's better if you
thoughts, because it distinguishes it. The second bolded bit sounds extremely odd. Pokemon battling isn't only the Pokemon; Warner still has to command his Infernape.

Formatting here - you need spaces between the dialogue paragraphs. And this is further proof of the fact that you avoid 'said' like the plague and prefer to use more obscure terms, which will prove to be more detrimental rather than helpful.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, I thought the battle was poorly described. It was nearly a series of actions mixed in with few thoughts from Warner. Infernape's wounded foot is apparently its Achille's Heel (and not speaking literally but metaphorically) because its foot will be injured and cause it to somehow faint? Not gonna work. It's only a foot. If your foot gets shot, will you die? Unless you manage to bleed to death, no, you won't. So Infernape wouldn't, and shouldn't, be that vulnerable when its foot is injured. Instead, it would show that its battling prowess is stinted because of its injury. Like, say, that Infernape can't jump around or run or move as fast as it could without an injury. But trying to injure a foot even more won't do a darn thing.
I thought your battle asked for a lot more description. It was mainly a series of commands and attacks into a jumble of paragraphs that didn't strike me as visual at all, when you should have emphasized the battle. You say that the battle is the Championship, yet there are next to no emotions dedicated to explaining Warner's feelings about it. There wasn't much tension in the scenes. The battle almost became predictable, and you don't want readers to be able to predict what's going on. There should have been more thoughts about Warner and how he felt about the battle. The battle screamed for more descriptions, and that doesn't mean describe all the attacks into detail but rather describe the movements of the Pokemon and how they acted towards each other. Bring life out of the scene. Give it imagery. How does the battlefield feel? Is it a dry, dusty field so that whenever Infernape and Gallade exchange blows, dirt is thrown into the air that made a dry mist hang over? See, you have to tell the readers what's going on. Descriptions are vital for Pokemon battles. And remember that Pokemon battles are what practically drive the Pokemon world. I think the scene needs more impact as well, so I'll leave it to you as to how you'll come up with a way to make it more emotional so that readers can connect to the characters, specifically Warner.
And no, don't brush this off as 'It's just the way I depict battles.' I'll be honest here: it's not doing you any good if you think you won't improve or don't make the effort to.

This is what I mean when I'm talking about better descriptions. Beaten up is a vague choice of words. It would be better to say how Gallade's body was bruised or burned from Infernape's flames.

You should change the speech tags.

Again, descriptions here. The scene should be built up. The attacks suddenly happened, but it wasn't gradually built up. There wasn't any feel within it. Try to breathe feeling into battles.

And going on about Chapter One...
I found Schwiz to be the most interesting character out of this story so far. I like his ambition that he has to hide around his boss to keep his position. He's a smart mind, and I admire that. However, I did find that how he acted around his boss was way too out of character for him. Of course, you could describe that as his character, but the way you expressed his thoughts made me believe that he wasn't easily intimidated by his boss. I thought he would be a bit more comfortable. Schwiz seems to be the type of fellow who would be calm and collected, slowly biding his time to become the new leader of Team Marsh. It sounded so odd for Schwiz as an obedient 'advisor' to the leader, because he sounded so much more confident. He had that spark in his mind that looked like he was a stronger-willed than how you portrayed. I found him much too willing. In addition, I found Schwiz's habit of saying 'Boss' all the time to be thoroughly annoying.

Firstly sounds wrong to me; try 'First.' The same goes with 'secondly' that you use later on. Make that 'second.'

Are is a present tense verb while the story is told in the past tense. Use 'were.' Keep the verb tense consistent.

Looks like you're missing words at the end of this sentence. Also, clothing is negligent information.
Overall, I did enjoy this story, but it could have been a lot better. There are a few habits you have that can be easily broken, such as using said more often while putting in more descriptions. Don't describe what clothes look like, because no one actually cares. Harsh, I know, but that's exactly how the reader's mind works. I also highly suggest that you proofread more thoroughly for some grammatical mistakes as well as diction. If you want any help with that, there's the Beta Lounge always available where you can find yourself a Beta Reader, who should be able to help you with any of your literary problems.
If anything, I hope I didn't sound insulting and I hope I didn't discourage you from writing. It's a fine story idea; I do truly like it, but I believe that you could refine your story. So, do me a favor and polish your story until it's a sparkling gem. If you have any questions or concerns, whether it pertains to my review or not, feel free to ask me. I'll keep an eye on your story to see how it progresses.

Walter Brasch: Until the members of Congress develop that one iota of courage that President Obama asked for, the United States will continue to have the highest number of guns per population of 178 countries—and also rank among the world's top 10 countries in the rate of deaths per population from guns.
Mitch McConnell's 'Whack-a-Mole' Dirty Politics Campaign
Walter Brasch: Bound in a political black hole from which truth never escapes, McConnell and his staff launched a "scorch-earth" attack to divert the public from the facts on the leaked tape was the far greater sin than what was said.
Pelosi's Fiscal-Cliff Ace in the Hole
Brent Budowsky: Democratic House challengers in 2014 will clobber GOP House incumbents in 2014 who vote against Medicare and Social Security.
Time to Bench Mitch McConnell and His Cronies?
Joseph Palermo: Ending the filibuster is within the realm of possibility if only the Democrats had the guts to do it.
Dems' War FOR Women
Brent Budowsky: Word on the street is Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Democrats will launch a major battle supporting pay equity for the women of America that could be a defining moment in the 2012 campaign.
Congress to Obama: Bring More Troops Home
Rebecca Griffin: As we gear up to keep the pressure on following President Obama's disappointing announcement of his plan for a modest withdrawal, we see once again how critical our congressional work has been.
Republicans Beware!
TEd Vaill: The Republicans should remember that the vote in the 2010 elections, especially in Middle America, was not a vote of support for them, as their approval rating is worse than the Democrats, but it is a sign of huge discontent: a house that is underwater, with no relief from their crushing mortgage debt in sight, a job that has vanished or is in danger of being shipped overseas, diminishing hope that they will be able to afford to send their kids to college, and a feeling that their government has turned a blind eye to their problems.
GOP: Bring Back 'Corruption of Blood'
Tina Dupuy: Now, to drum up hysteria about this alleged rash of pregnant Mexican border hoppers, the GOP's idea is to change the Constitution so that being without papers is treated more harshly than treason.
Health Care 2010 and 1994, and the Political Lessons of History
Robert Reich: Today's Republican battle plan is exactly the same as it was sixteen years ago. In fact, it's been the same since President Obama assumed office. They never were serious about compromise. They were serious only about regaining power. From the start, Republicans have remembered the lesson of 1994. Now, as they prepare to vote, House Dems should remember the lesson as well.
Obama Rescuing Capitalism: That's a Lot of Weight for One Brother
Back in December, when it was obvious that the economy was in bad shape and before we knew how precarious it could get, Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International and columnist for Newsweek and the Washington Post, wrote, "For Obama to be remembered as a great president, he has to do nothing less than rescue […]

Leos Carax followed his short film Strangulation Blues (1980) with the tragic Boy Meets Girl in 1984. Starring Denis Lavant and Mireille Perrier, Carax's first feature announced a new and exciting presence in both French and World cinema. Boy Meets Girl premiered in May 1984 at the Cannes Film Festival in the Independent Critics Week section, certainly a great venue to premiere a film and quite an impressive place to show a first feature as well. This film introduced many of the themes and cinematic problems that Carax would continually return to in his later films, such as a chance encounter between two people, failed romance, meditation on silent and contemporary cinema, and poetic treatments of Carax's own biography.
Boy Meets Girl is an intense depiction of a social outsider and the way this outsider relates to the world around him. Alex (Lavant) is a tiny and timid Parisian. His screen »
