Dirty Dogs Help Save LivesMonday, July 2nd, 2012
Dirty Dogs Help Save Lives
Temecula, CA – July 22, 2012
On July 22nd from 10am to 2pm, Dogtopia of Temecula is hosting a charity dog wash to benefit K-9 Support, Inc., with all proceeds benefitting military working dogs. These dogs are currently deployed overseas and their duties range from Bomb Detection to Military Police K-9 teams. These dogs are on the front lines fighting the War on Terror, putting their lives at risk to save our men and women in uniform.
"These dogs are doing jobs that help keep our Marines and soldiers safe," said Patrick Moody, owner of Dogtopia of Temecula. "They are in the same hostile environments as our military, but frequently lack needed equipment such as 'doggles' to keep the blowing dust out of their eyes. The cash strapped units typically don't have the funds to provide these types of 'luxury' items to their dogs," continued Moody. "In addition to badly needed safety equipment, many times the working dogs lack some of the comforts of home such as treats and durable toys for a little R&R."
To date, K-9 Support has raised over $80,000 for working dogs; in 2011 alone, $24,000 was raised. The goal for this year is to raise $30,000 across the country. Every dog that comes in will be given a bath, bandana, and spritz of cologne. There will be raffle prizes donated by local businesses and vendor tables to browse while you are waiting for your turn.
K-9 Support was formed as the charitable arm for Dogtopia, a nationwide franchise. Dogtopia of Temecula is an award winning facility that provides open play daycare, boarding, and spa services to dogs. Dogtopia of Temecula opened in 2008 and is located at 27629 Commerce Center Drive, Temecula, CA 92590.

Singapore NDP 2012: Previews Are That Much Cooler
This, made me feel very special.
10 bloggers were chosen as part of the NDP (National Day Parade) Engagement Team this year. After attending a cosy dinner with the ex-co and media events, finally came the day for us to go backstage! I had the backstage pass so I gave the pair of tickets to my parents who have never watched the NDP live. They were so happy! And that made me really happy! 😀
We could choose to watch the actual preview show which happened on 4 August, but I chose to go for the 28 July slot instead as backstage access was only for 28 July. It's been my dream since young to see how the backstage of the parade looks like. I'd imagined it to be very messy yet not disorganized, very noisy yet not rowdy, very exciting yet not nerve wrecking, small yet cosy.
But no. The backstage arena was actually large and spacious, taking up multiple storeys of a building, performers were practising, some getting their makeup done, others getting last minute instructions, many resting and getting food and drinks. It was all very… tranquil. LOL. Very unlike my preconceived and unreliable notion about how the NDP backstage would appear to be.
And here's me at one of the backstage halls.
Picture taken from Rachell's camera.
Participants rehearsing, getting their makeup done, chillin'~
Some had professional MUAs do their makeup…
… while others had to leave their fate in the hands of friends. 😀
Below, another makeup section where more detailed makeup was required. This was for a butterfly look and we were wondering why they chose guys instead of girls to be butterflies when Rachell told us it was coz the weight of the costume ensemble required a lot of strength.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Mort Drucker entered the comics field by assisting Bert Whitman on 'Debbie Dean' in 1947. He then joined the staff of National Periodical Publications (DC Comics), where he worked as a retoucher. About 1950, he began freelancing. During the 1950s, he contributed to the mystery, war and space titles published by both DC and Atlas. He was also present at Dell ('Luke Short', Steve Donovan, Western Marshall'), ACG (Lovelorn) and Better Publications. In 1956, upon the departure of Harvey Kurtzman, he found his way to Mad magazine. There, he specialized in movie and television satires and parodies.
At the same time, Drucker pursued assignments in commercial art, doing animation for television, movie posters and covers and illustrations for magazines. He also remained active for DC, illustrating among others 'Sgt. Rock', 'Adventures of Bob Hope' and 'Jerry Lewis'. In 1962, he teamed up with Paul Laiken and made the highly successful 'JFK Coloring Book' for Kanrom Publishers. Between 1984 and 1986, he made the syndicated daily 'Benchley' in cooperation with Jerry Dumas. In addition, he was active as an illustrator of children's books.

LA CROSSE, Wis.-- Gundersen Lutheran's CEO spent time Tuesday at the White House.
Dr. Jeff thompson spoke on a panel for the "Greening America's Hospitals" initiative which was broadcast online.
The goal is for hospitals across the country to improve the environment where people work and receive care. Some of the topics include reducing energy use, reducing waste, and using safer chemicals.
Thompson says not only would it make hospitals safer and more efficient, but it can also save money. "We believe we can improve health, and improve the economic health of our communities by partnering, not with other businesses, not with communities, but with government agencies, foundations," said Thompson.
More than 500 hospitals across the country are taking part in the initiative.
Thompson was invited because of Gundersen's work on sustainability that began in 2008. Since then, they've started a number of projects to help them become energy independent by 2014, such as re-purposing methane gas from a landfill and a pair of wind turbine projects.
The hospital also takes simple steps such as reducing the amount of waste produced. "Whether that's waste coming out of the OR or food waste coming from the cafeteria line all of those things we're trying to minimize, to make sure we're not causing health problems indirectly by using services or consuming products that we need to deliver the services that we give to patients," said Jeff Rich from Gundersen Lutheran.
A few other projects are in the works including a geothermal heat pump system for the new section of the hospital.

text: my ds is feeding just fine, but i noticed that my left breast isnt leting down. i do h and compressions when hes on. and when he unlatches i hand express to see if theres any milk left. theres a tiny bit that comes out. i keep him on it for 10mins or so until he starts getting frustrated. so then i put him on the right side and i letdown right away but only on rightside (which is not normal for me). and hes constintly drinking till hes full. any ideas why this is happening and any way to 'fix' this? mind you im always putting him on the leftside first due to the prob and putting him on the left when he 'feeds' for comfort. i did switch sides each feeding up till today. i am getting allergies but i dont know if this could affect milk supply.

Speak geek: The world of made-up language
Pointy ears, bumpy foreheads and obscure tongues
Who owns what
Although there are actually those who unofficially construct Elvish words for modern times, this defeats the point, according to "Lúthien", a 39 year-old woman from the Netherlands and speaker of Sindarin. Lúthien is immersed in Tolkien culture and uses Sindarin to write poetry, translate songs and create Middle-earth related artwork. She has almost finished her own Sindarin dictionary too.
Lúthien's art: Nost-na-Lothian in Gondolin
Elvish languages are not made for the modern era - to adapt them to our culture goes against everything they're used for and dilutes their charm, she says. Lúthien is happy for others to speak Sindarin and insists that being part of a minority is not the appeal, but she says the language should only be used "in the spirit of the Elves".
Christopher Tolkien owns all copyrights to his father's works and the Tolkien Estate has an official editorial team that sifts through Tolkien's paperwork and releases new sets of words from time to time.
Lúthien say she must tread carefully though when it comes to the words they publish and worries about legal issues should she include them in her dictionary because the Tolkien estate are very strict about their use.
The Tolkien estate has taken people to court in the past, most notably author Michael Perry for his book Untangling Tolkien: A Chronology and Commentary for The Lord of the Rings. Wired magazine reported back in 2001 how "Elfconners", the name given to those involved with Tolkien's unpublished writings, had acted as "informal copyright police" and attempted to prevent publications by other linguistic scholars.
Copyright disputes in Middle-earth: who knew? ®
On learning Elvish
Ever since her father read The Hobbit at bedtimes, Lúthien dreamed of learning the languages. Aged thirteen, she pored through The LOTR appendixes to learn more. She tried to master the Tengwar script but couldn't sustain it and while her passion remained undimmed, she struggled to find enough resources to continue. Three years ago, browsing the internet, Lúthien discovered other Tolkien fans and additional material that assured her it could be done. In 2008, she started to take it seriously.
Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe.com
Lúthien has attended just one Elvish gathering and with with face-to-face congregation a rarity, she often uses Skype to talk with enthusiasts. Subscription to Elfling, the Yahoo mailing list, along with several forums, including Parendili, appear to be the best places to meet - more signs that modern tech helps to further the widespread celebration of Tolkien's languages.
Lúthien feels Sindarin takes her to a fantasy realm, much to the same degree it originally took Tolkien, before he turned the languages into the core of LOTR.

- Abstract
- Free-standing alumina-13% titania samples were manufactured with a water-stabilized plasma spray gun to a thickness of ∼5 mm. A thin layer of aluminum was arc sprayed prior to depositing the thick coating and etched away using hydrochloric acid. The so-obtained free-standing plate was cut into four-point-bend-test specimens with dimensions of ∼5 mm × 5 mm × 50 mm. The assprayed material consisted of a supersaturated solid solution, where titania was frozen inside the alumina matrix. Heat treatment was performed at 1450°C for 24 h and then at 1100°C for another 24 h. After heat treatment, titania precipitates were observed. The major phases of the assprayed and heat-treated samples were γ- and α-alumina, respectively. The porosity was ∼10% for as-sprayed samples; this value was reduced to ∼3% after heat treatment. Four-point bend tests were performed on the assprayed and heat-treated specimens in cross-section and in-plane directions. An acoustic emission technique was used to examine the cracking during the tests in situ. Microcracking prior to failure was observed for as-sprayed samples that were tested in the cross-section direction. However, when tested in the in-plane direction, catastrophic failure with less evidence of microcracking occurred. For heat-treated specimens, microcracks were usually observed when tests were performed in either of the orientations. Energy and amplitude distributions for each testing condition were examined. These distributions changed after heat treatment; however, no significant differences were distinguished when tests were performed in the cross-section or in-plane directions.

Not that I don't have success models to emulate: My 89-year-old dad locked the door on a declining textile industry a few days shy of his 65th year, while my 94-year-old father-in-law literally turned out the lights at a major northeastern utility company one month after turning 65 years old. Both continue to enjoy good health, supportive spouses, and appreciative children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
To say that attitudes regarding retirement have changed since 1978 is similar to saying that anyone in Washington, or on Wall Street, has a clue about our economic future.

or my parent's generation, retirement was a right that mostly became a rite very close to the calendar-defined date.
For reasons borne of efforts to redefine aging, sustain comfortable lifestyles, satisfy unfulfilled ambitions or merely avoid endless days of pickling various vegetables, the celebration of this specific day in time is diminishing in significance.
Hillsborough County
The Hillsborough County Department of Detention Services operates a 4,190-bed jail system composed of two main detention facilities — the 2,304-bed Falkenburg Road Jail, which opened in 1998 and features a 250-bed infirmary, and the 1,711-bed Orient Road Jail. When it opened in 1990, the Orient facility was the largest direct-supervision jail in the United States, officials say.
The Falkenburg detention facility was master-planned for future expansions to a rated capacity of 4,032 beds and construction is underway to add two 50-bed infirmaries and 768 detention beds.
Here, I want to salute the employment transition of David Parrish of Hillsborough County, Fla., in terms of his insights, innovations and inclinations.
After 34 years with the same agency, his departure in late September was neither performance-nor age-dictated, which makes the decision all the more important and renders the future all the more exciting.
My first sighting of David — a rapidly rising star in the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department, and the profession in general — occurred at an American Jail Association conference in Clearwater, Fla., in the mid-1980s, where he spoke passionately about an emerging cultural shift in inmate management toward direct supervision. His acknowledgement of me, a fellow panelist, was as the only person he knew with two Mont Blanc writing devices; he possessed only one.
|Hillsborough County's Falkenburg Road Jail is master planned for 4,032 beds.
Through more than two decades of both observing him from a distance and interacting up close on the evolutionary changes in jail management and design, I have grown to appreciate the difference between leaders and managers. Both are absolutely essential but without the former, there is no need for the latter.
His desk drawers are full of awards, citations and recognitions, and a quick search of cyberspace will yield some indication of the raft of accomplishments that have regularly punctuated his long career of public service. Many of these acknowledgements were bestowed for re-defining boundaries, yet David never allowed past accomplishments to obscure his vision of the next opportunity to improve the quality of corrections.
Of course, in retirement, all of us want to feel that people, places and conditions are better as a result of our year-on-year efforts to overcome the many challenges.
The awards and citations generally memorialize these accomplishments. More important, however, are the insights left for those who will stand on our shoulders to sustain and refresh these accomplishments in an evolving future.
David's insights into how local governments can resist the temptation to devalue inmates, the staff that supervise them and the families that support them, will provide a large part of the legacy he leaves in Hillsborough County.
|The Falkenburg jail, opened in 1998, features a 250-bed infirmary.
By the time I first met David Parrish, he was well into puncturing the dominant inmate-management paradigm in correctional facility design. The Orient Road Jail had just opened and in the eyes of the architectural community, another milestone in the quest for normative environments had been negotiated.
From this well-conceived facility, David acknowledges that he learned how staff and inmates interact, and the impact that crowding and fiscal constraints can render over time on both groups.
His commitment to direct supervision never wavered, but his interpretation of the means and methods to improve the concept grew from an evidence base at Orient Road. David loves data!
I have been a part of so many tours of the Hillsborough facilities that were it not for my omnipresent consultant sheen, I might be considered staff — of course, in that case, I'd be eligible for retirement.
On a recent tour, I saw yet another innovation that could alter our opinion on the management and design of sub-acute health care for inmates. In addition to an initiative that established a new community standard of care for sick and mentally ill inmates in jails, other paradigm shifts that David oversaw include:
- An objective classification system, which eliminated the housing of inmates by custody level and resulted in a major shift in design approach that reduced construction time and costs, and operating costs.
- The implementation of an open-booking process that eliminated costly separations by custody level and gender — Hillsborough books one detainee every seven minutes.
- A recognition of staff challenges to find and maintain quality childcare, and the consequent development of a licensed childcare center for more than 65 children.
- The development of a master plan for more than 6,000 inmates with a de-centralized approach to service delivery based on management clusters of 256 inmates.
- The concentration of efforts to offer inmates the opportunity for self-improvement through more than 20 active programs — more than half of the programs involve local school board instructors.
- The implementation of a work release program, which includes electronic monitoring and day reporting, to prepare inmates for transition back into the community.
- The initiation of a comprehensive program of pretrial diversion that has resulted in a 13% drop in the average daily inmate population during the past two years.
These are but a short-list of the accomplishments that have rippled through jails of all sizes in the United States, and David's message for visitors from Singapore to St. Paul has always been that scale is less important than willpower the number of inmates only dictates. how many meals you have to serve, not how you cater for their care and management.
As attractive as the deck chairs may seem, after dimming the office lights at 1201 Orient Road, David won't be spending a lot of time contemplating the past. Following a jaunt in his restored Plymouth hotrod to visit his mom, he is to become involved in the most massive project in the correctional community today.
Col. David M. Parrish
Col. David M. Parrish, CJM, joined the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, in Tampa, Fla., in 1974. He served as commander of the county's Department of Detention Services from 1981 to 2008. A graduate of the F.B.I. National Academy, Parrish earned a master's degree in criminology from Sam Houston State University. He is a former president of the American Jail Association and chair of the jail manager's certification commission. Parrish has served on the American Correctional Association's board of governors and was appointed to the National Institute of Corrections' advisory board by former Attorney General John Ashcroft.
In 2006, U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson ruled the standard of care in the state's prison health system — with an average of one unnecessary inmate death per week — violated constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
Henderson established a federal receivership to improve conditions, care and facilities and return California's prison healthcare system to constitutional levels. Staff from the California Prison Health Care Receivership Corporation visited Hillsborough County on a fact-finding mission and toured the healthcare units at the Falkenburg Road Jail.
In the short term, David will become involved with a diverse team of medical, mental health, rehabilitation and security professionals to develop an operational plan for the seven new 1,500-bed facilities. A particular focus for David will be direct supervision management training for healthcare and security staff.
In the long term, I hope he stays involved with the various boards of AJA, ACA and NIC, and that he effectively demonstrates that after retirement from a day job you have held for 30 years, a lot more time is available for mentoring.
David is but one of the correctional community visionaries retiring from long careers that have changed the face of corrections in the United States.
In addition to David, I salute you all.
Now for about an hour, I'm going to retire to that purposely-uncomfortable deck chair.

The Inimitable Kyle Farnsworth
It has become obvious to me that baseball managers do not read this blog. How do I know this? Because how else can you explain the fact that Kyle Farnsworth STILL has a job?! Have I not made this clear? The dude is poison. The Cubs didn't blow the 2003 NLCS because of Bartman. It was Farnsworth. He makes every team worse.
But, despite my multitude of cautions and unwavering admonitions, teams with hopes of making the postseason still go out and pick this guy up. His latest victim? The Braves. And there's no way they can say they didn't see it coming. Just scroll down through the article and, after reading about how he pitched this time, relive the magic of his previous outing with the Braves.
At least Farnsworth didn't go crazy after the game like some other NL East relievers. Instead he just accepted it as another day at the park: "Can't do anything about it. Just got to keep your head up and keep going."
Really, Farnsy? Because I think you actually can do something about it. I think these GM's could get their heads out of their a$$es and make a decision not to hire you anymore. They did it to Barry Bonds and he at least performed. I should probably keep it down, though. Even if the managers don't read this, you might and I wouldn't want to see you cry again.

ROTFL!! He's horrible! He gets maggots sick.
The guy throws the straightest fastball in the world. When he was with the Cubs he could hit 100 on the speed gun and he would still get knocked around because the pitch was straight as an arrow.
Maybe in he had spent less time at Sluggers and more time working on a cutter, he could have been good.

The man who left his child in a hot car until the child died
. Guilty or not guilty?
There's 2 of these guys:
The guy in Rockledge Florida probably not guilty
The guy in Atlanta guilty
Guilty. No ifs or buts.ReplyCancel
Guilty. I read yesterday that they found on his PC, just days prior, he had researched how long it takes for an animal to die in a hot car. AND that he had gone to his car on his lunch break also.
Guilty as hell. And that's where he's goin. Soon! Prison will see to that.
At the risk of being too passionate-and sickened by all this(new mom, also as a HUMAN BEING)
🙁 RIP sweet babies.ReplyCancel
He googled how long does it take for an animal to die in a hot car, so yeah. Guilty. It's just sad because the child suffered so much before he died.ReplyCancel
Seriously? Ugh that poor babyReplyCancel
Execute him the same way, locked in a car and suffering until he dies.
I leave my kid in the car at times. Run in to pay for gas, check the PO Box, grab a pack of smokes. Generally if it is going to take me longer to get him out and back into the car than it is going to take me in the store/post office. I can't wait until he is 8 and I can chuck the booster seat.ReplyCancel
That Georgia boy researched death by hypothermia prior to the "accident".
He went to his car during lunch to put something in the seat. There is a statement that the child car seat is placed so that the back is facing the driver seat _/(_ so he Could not notice since he could not see the child..
Yet WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, he noticed? Even the rear view wouldn't see around the basket.
Jail is too good for him.
They also stopped at chick fil a to get breakfast on the way to the dads job. I read that yesterday and thought to myself "seriously. You stop and get breakfast and then magically forget your kid in the 1-2 min drive to work??" I'm no genius and I'm as forgetful as they come but come on now. My big question now is: WHY??? Why would you do that to a poor innocent child? What's your reasoning?ReplyCancel
Guilty – even if he couldn't see the kid in the carseat when he went out at lunchtime to "put something in the front seat" I would think the smell of a dirty diaper in that heat would have been overwhelming. Even if he didn't notice it at lunchtime, the smell when he went out at the end of the day would have knocked him over if he wasn't expecting it. And it was his job to drop the kid off every morning to daycare. If he's smart he'll plead out and won't face a jury.ReplyCancel
It's Court, wasn't the breakfast stopping Dad the other one? I thought he was the guy who worked at Hone Depot. IDK
If so,
I'm thinking the breakfast stopping dad seems more innocent…so far.
Guy who's in jail, def belongs there.ReplyCancel
The breakfast stopping Home Depot dad is the one who left his kid all day, came out to the car during lunch, googled the time it takes for an animal to die in a hot car, left work that evening and then broke down asking people to help his child. @sincerely. Sadly there are apparently 2 separate incidents but the Home Depot/chick fil a/jackass dad is the one I'm referring to. The one in Georgia.ReplyCancel
Well, the whole history of Googling "animals suffocating in cars" that was found on his personal computer's hard drive doesn't look good. Not exactly the typical search now is it?
Let's just hope a smart, logical thinking jury is selected if this goes to trial; if there is enough evidence to prove that he IS guilty, America doesn't need another Casey Anthony situation on our collective conscious. That woman, without a doubt should have gotten LIFE.ReplyCancel
Guilty all the way – that is, the guy who did the Google search, etc.
I read a very powerful article about this phenomenon from the Washington Post last week – gave me so much anxiety I forwarded it to my sister as a reminder to be extra mindful when she's driving with my nephew.
I cannot even imagine how someone could knowingly do this to a child.ReplyCancel
Ohhhh. Got it thanks. I had no idea he stopped for breakfast too- there's another nail in his coffin. Hopefully!ReplyCancel
@sincerely hopefully!! I'll admit I went back and read the story to make sure I hadn't crossed my wires. Sure enough, I'd actually remembered correctly. Sickening.ReplyCancel
Guilty as hell. Open and shut. He also got in his car, drove where there were people, and then jumped out screaming , oh my baby is choking! Then peoplr noticed baby already blue, and father alternated btwn ober the top hysteria, and placidness. Bystanders immediately noticed he was acting off, so that tells u something.ReplyCancel
Why, along with school shootings, does this seem primarily to occur in the US?ReplyCancel
Please read this Pulitzer prize winning article in the Washington Post back in 2009 and then tell me you think that parents who accidently leave their children in hots cars are guilty. This article will break your heart.
Seriously, how the f do you forget your kid in the car?? I'm not a parent but if I took one of my cats with me in the car, I wouldn't forget it there, much less a kid! I don't buy it at all, and if he really did forget, he should go to jail anyway for gross negligence.ReplyCancel
Guilty. I honestly don't know how you can do this, especially now when everyone has a phone with them at all times (most people, anyway). Wouldn't you get a call from the day care asking where your child is? Doesn't make sense to me that the provider wouldn't check in (then again, I don't have kids, so I have no idea how day cares operate).ReplyCancel
Has anyone figured out what happened to the boy found stuffed in the basement of his dad's house? ??
Completely different story
Count Jerkula are you just yanking people's chains or do you really do that? What if you get arrested for making lewd comments on the street and cops won't believe you have a kid in the car? Shit happens. Don't chance it.ReplyCancel
@Trashaddict: yeah, I do it. Half the time he wants to stay in the car anyway, so he can play games or watch videos on my phone.
Closest I get to lewd comments when I'm with my kid is one time a hottie register girl said he's cute and I replied, "Yes he is. I think I remember how to make one, if you want me to show you some time." Luckily she started laughing before I did, so no police were called.ReplyCancel

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Made in China
I bought the Stringer LO for my wife about 8 years ago, at the time they were made in Australia. I sent an email to EMU with pictures of these boots and they are now made in China. The sole is no where near the same quality of the older versions.
kind of small
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
very comfy, but kind of small, I have to take out the insole and can wear thin socks only
Pleasantly Surprised
Overall a high quality boot. Getting used to the fit. Great selection of colors to choose from. Love : )
EMU Stinger Lo Boot - Women's
New Favorite Boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a wide foot so I'm so glad I found these boots! I wish I would have found these before I invested in those other Australia boots. Don't get me wrong, those other ones are great boots as well, but a bit snug fitting for someone with a wide foot. These are perfect fit, comfy, and warm. Over the Christmas break I went on a 3 hour hike in several inches of snow and my feet stayed warm, dry and comfortable. I have really tested these boots out over the last month and they look like they just came out of the box. Very happy and will be for another pair I'm sure.
REALLY weird fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
These are some nice looking boots. They look soft, warm, and well-made. Based on other reviews, I was prepared for some funky fitting situations, but I got them on S&C and was prepared to deal with pretty much anything because I wanted them so bad.
Most of the boot fit perfectly, but for some reason the heal is like twice as wide as the rest of the boot and my heal slipped out with every step. It was really weird because the rest of it fit very well (just a little snug, which is good because I know they stretch) but I couldn't get over the heal thing. I was really disappointed. It seems like a really weird way to make boots, because I can't imagine what type of foot that would fit.
These should definitely be tried on in a store before buying online.
Hey there! Your fit description with the heel being wider is super accurate... I know that these boots are designed that way however, they're supposed to have a 'slipper' fit. EMU makes lower volume heels for a more snug boot fit, but all of the stingers are meant to fit loose in the heel for that comfortable slipper fit. Not for everyone, but it's meant to be that way. :-)
Warm, oh-so-snuggly, and I agree that they are meant to be roomy and comfortable. HOWEVER, having said that, the best solution is SIZE DOWN ONE SIZE because they do run large. They're not meant to be your skin-tight date-night Italian designer boot. They do what they're designed to do--easy, great casual look, warm, cushy. I will always have a pair of these on hand for cold weather. Word of caution: waterproof them for those slushy days and avoid deep puddles.
Snug as a bug in a rug!
Wife loves them!! Always has cold feet and these keep her toasty warm. If you want warm "piggies" this is the ticket.
This waterproof You?
This boot is not waterproof.
Are the black ones really black? Because...
Are the black ones really black? Because the picture shows a brown boot, and ive been looking at these shoes on different websites and this is deffinitly not the black ones..So i dont know if it is just the wrong picture or if you guys have it wrong
Thank you,
The black ones are actually black. I ordered the black in hopes of getting the color in the picture and they came as black.
What is the size of the opening?

Performance Accessories 6343 Gap Guards Toyota Tundra 2wd
Part Number: 6343
Lift Type: Gap Guards
Lit Height: -
Vehicle Fitment: Toyota Tundra 2wd
Vehicle Year: 2000-2010
Condition: Brand New
Body lifts came into the market approximately 30 years ago to fill a much needed gap that suspension lifts could not provide. Performance Accessories body lift kits are a very affordable option when considering lifting a vehicle; in some cases a body lift can be as much as three times less than a comparable suspension system.
Since Performance Accessories body lifts do not alter or change the OEM suspension components, our customers continue to enjoy the much coveted quality factory ride that they have come to demand, as well as retaining the OEM warranty on the vehicle.
The primary reasons consumers choose to lift their vehicles is to allow for the installation of larger tires and wheels, thus increasing the off-road ability of the vehicle and the desired custom look the consumer is trying to achieve. Performance Accessories body lifts on average allows the consumer to increase tire size by two to three sizes.
Performance Accessories body lift kits include the highest quality, laser cut, CNC machined steel components, steering extensions, shift adaptors, body lift blocks, bushings and body mounts. All our hardware is zinc plated and or powder coated for corrosion protection and come with complete detailed installation instructions. We also offer urethane gap guards to fill the gap between the frame and the lifted body to give the consumer that completed OEM look.

Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Student Privacy at North Idaho College
- What is FERPA?
- Who is considered a "student" in NIC?
- What is an "Educational Record?"
- Who has access to my student records?
- What is "Directory Information?"
- What information can and cannot be released by NIC?
- What does FERPA say about grade posting?
- How can a student withhold their directory information?
- What are the rights of parents under FERPA?
- In an emergency, can I tell a student's mother where her daughter's next class is today?
- What is the Solomon Amendment?
- May I include a student's GPA in a letter of recommendation?
- Where can I get more information?
Printable Documents (.pdf)
- Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information Form (FERPA Hold)
- Consent for Release of Student Information Form
** When you mail or fax the Consent for Release of Student Information form, please include a photocopy of your drivers license or other form of picture ID that includes your signature on the ID.
What is FERPA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (1974) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of education records and is enforced by the Family Policy Compliance Office of the U.S. Department of Education (FPCO). Essentially, the act states that 1) "students" must be permitted to inspect their own "education records" and 2) "school officials" may not disclose personally identifiable information about a students without written permission from the student.
Who is considered a "student" at NIC?
Students are defined as those individuals who are enrolled and have a final admission status. Persons who applied for admission but were not admitted, or have not enrolled after the tenth day of a term, have no rights under FERPA. However, if admitted and enrolled, all admission records are then "folded into" the education record.
What is an "Educational Record?"
Education records are defined as those records directly related to a student and maintained by NIC, or by a party acting for NIC. An educational record is any record maintained by the college that is directly related to a student. These records may contain a student's name, social security number, student ID number, address, or any other piece to information that could be considered "personally identifiable."
"Sole possession notes" (those made by one person and kept in the possession of the maker) are not considered educational records. However, sharing these notes with another person or placing them in an area where they can be viewed by others will make them educational records and, therefore, subject to FERPA.
Other records that are not considered educational records:
- Records maintained by a law enforcement unit of the educational agency.
- Records relating to individuals who are employed by the institution that relate exclusively to their capacity as employees.
- Records relating to a student which are created or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist (or related professional) used solely in connection with the provisions of treatment to the student.
Who has access to my student records?
Within the NIC community, only those "school officials," individually or collectively, acting in the students' educational interest, who have a legitimate "need to know," are allowed access to student educational records. College personnel are determined to have legitimate educational interest if the information requested is necessary for them to:
- Perform appropriate tasks that are specified in his/her position description, or by a contract agreement.
- Perform a task related to a student's education.
- Perform a task related to the discipline of a student.
- Provide a service or benefit relating to the student or student's family, such as health care, counseling, job placement or financial aid.
What is "Directory Information?"
"Directory Information" is information that, if disclosed, is not normally considered a violation of a student's privacy and, therefore, can be released without the student's written permission. Directory information can never include a student's race, gender, social security number, grades, GPA, country of citizenship, or religion. As an institution, NIC must provide "annual notification" of students' FERPA rights and the categories designated as directory information.
What information can and cannot be released at NIC?
- The following information can be released without written consent (directory information:
- Student's name
- Student's address
- Student's phone number
- Date of attendance
- Freshman/Sophomore classification
- Previous institutions attended
- Major field of study
- Awards/Honors (including Dean's List)
- Degree(s) conferred (including dates)
- Past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities
- Weight and height of members of athletic teams
- The following information cannot be released (written consent is required).
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- Student ID Number
- Class Schedule/Roster
- Academic Standing
- Grades
- GPA (term and cumulative)
- Transcript
- Gender
- Credits (term and cumulative)
What does FERPA say about grade posting?
Instructors may post grades without the written consent of the students only if the identities of the individuals are completely disguised such that no direct correlation to each student can be determined from the list. Accordingly, instructors should refrain from openly discussing grades in class or distributing graded material in such a way that the grades may be seen by other students.
How can a student withhold their directory information?
Students can submit a Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information form to the Registrar's Office so that all or a portion of their directory information will not be released.
What are the rights of parents under FERPA?
When a student reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a postsecondary institution regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer to the student.
- Parents may obtain directory information at the discretion of the institution.
- Parents may obtain non-directory information (grades, GPA, etc.) only at the discretion of the institution and after it has been determined that their child is legally their dependent.
- Parents may also obtain non-directory information by obtaining a signed consent from their child. NIC requires that the signed consent form either be submitted in person at the Registrar's Office by the student with state/federally issued ID or it may be faxed to the Registrar's Office with a copy of a state/federally issued ID that also includes the student's signature on the ID.
In an emergency, can I tell a student's mother where her daughter's next class is today?
A student's class schedule is non-directory information. For the safety of the student, you cannot tell another person where a student is at any time.
What is the Solomon Amendment?
Under this 1996 amendment, institutions are required to provide directory-type information on students at least 17 years of age who are registered for at least one credit, upon request from the Department of Defense for military recruiting purposes.
May I include a student's GPA in a letter of recommendation?
If personably identifiable information (such as GPA, grades, etc.) obtained from a student's record is included in a letter of recommendation, the writer is required to obtain a signed release from the student which 1) specifies the records to be disclosed, 2) states the purpose of the disclosure, and 3) identifies the party to whom the disclosure can be made.
Statements made by a person making a recommendation that are made from that person's personal knowledge do not require a written release from the student.

Grand Valley students remember 9/11
Posted on September 11, 2013
A group of Grand Valley students organized a day-long memorial to remember victims of Sept. 11.
Students put 2,977 mini American flags in the ground on the lawn of the east side of the Kirkhof Center — one for each of those who died in the attacks.
At 11:45 a.m. at the Cook Carillon Tower on the Allendale Campus, university carillonneur Julianne Vanden Wyngaard chimed the bells 12 times to signify the 12th anniversary of 9/11.
The memorial was organized by Grand Valley's Student Senate and the College Republicans student organization.
"The flag display is a symbol to help remind students; maybe it is something that slipped their mind today and they can see it and remember," said Reuben Peck, member of the College Republicans student organization.
Students can share their photos and tweets with the hashtag #NeverForgetGV.

Testbed and Methods
We use the following method of benchmarking SSDs:
- The SSD is "leveled out" before the test session
- The first test (the low-level test of read speed) is performed under ideal conditions
- The other tests go in the exact same order as listed in this Testbed and Methods section
- The SSDs are given some time (a couple of minutes) to "rest" between the tests
We guess this method will help compare the SSDs under identical conditions and yet produce real-life results.
The following testing utilities were used:
- WinBench 99
- IOMeter 2003.02.15
- FC-Test 1.0
- PCMark 2004
- PCMark 2005
- PCMark Vantage
- Raxco Perfect Disk 8.0
- WinRAR 3.60
Testbed configuration:
- ASUS P5WDG2 WS Pro mainboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 processor
- IBM DTLA-307015 system disk, 15GB
- Radeon X600 graphics card
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 (and Windows Vista for PCMark Vantage)
We formatted the drives in FAT32 and NTFS as one partition with the default cluster size. For some tests 32GB partitions were created on the drives and formatted in FAT32 and NTFS with the default cluster size, too. The drives were connected to the mainboard's SATA port in each test and worked in AHCI mode.

The Black Tooth Enamel is a polish used to color teeth for transformation makeup. It is used to create holes and missing teeth effects. It adheres to the surface of the tooth perfectly without damaging the enamel or irritating the gums. Long-lasting, it resists to water and saliva for several hours.
Dry teeth beforehand using a tissue or by gently fanning them. Apply Tooth Enamel using its brush applicator. Repeat applications for a more visible result and wait until the product is completely dry before closing the mouth again. The Black Tooth Enamel is not recommended for use on artificial teeth. Remove the Tooth Enamel using cotton dipped in alcohol and rinse the mouth thoroughly. To create different effects, use the two shades available or mix them with natural pigments.

In a significant development concerning the price of milk, Congress extended the farm policy until September. Current policy guarantees farmers a minimum of 80 cents per gallon of milk. The current price farmers receive in the open market is about $1.75 per gallon.
Linnea Kooistra, a local dairy farmer, follows the market closely. She said if the farm bill had not been extended, government policy would have reverted back to a law signed by President Truman in 1949 that would guarantee farmers $3.50 per gallon. Reverting to the 1949 numbers would have nearly doubled the cost of a gallon of milk.
Kooistra said farmers and cows have become much more efficient since the days of President Truman. The U.S. dairy industry produces a gallon of milk using 90 percent less land, 60 percent less water, 70 percent less manure and 60 percent less carbon footprint. The average U.S. cow produces more than four times more milk than the average cow worldwide.
James Fraley, Illinois Farm Bureau livestock program director, said extending the old farm bill is only a Band-Aid approach. He said Congress "has a lot of work to do" to get a farm bill passed.
"Dairy farmers are left dealing with the same programs and policies in place for the last five years. The new farm bill is going to focus on more insurance-based risk management-type programs. They only kick in when a disaster comes and farmers need assistance," he said.
In 1949, McHenry County was a leading county in the country for milk production. That is why Harvard was referred to as the "Milk Center of the World."
Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois is sponsoring Hospice Patient & Family Care volunteer training sessions Feb. 2 and 9 at 527 W. South St., Woodstock.
This training will teach prospective volunteers to provide companionship, emotional support, respite for caregivers and, above all, offer a presence, an ear to listen and an understanding smile for hospice patients and their families.
I know firsthand of the valuable contributions these volunteers offer. My wife, Fran, received hospice care from this organization for several weeks before her death in March. To RSVP, call Jan at 224-770-2477.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214 passenger Ye Mengyan died of injuries she received from being run over by a fire department vehicle, and she was alive when she was hit, authorities said Friday.
Ye's death was "multiple blunt injuries that are consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle," San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said.
Police previously said she might have been hit by a fire truck after she was expelled from the crashed plane.
Ye, 16, was one of three people who died in the July 6 crash of Flight 214 at San Francisco's airport and its aftermath.
A San Francisco police spokesman last week said that at the time, firefighters were using flame retardant that ended up surrounding areas immediately around the plane with foam.
"When the truck repositioned itself to get a better aim of the fuselage, they discovered the body of the victim in the fresh track from the path of the truck," San Francisco police spokesman Albie Esparza said.
The foam was thick enough to cover a body, Esparza noted. Moreover, it is difficult for those in the "industrial-size" fire trucks that responded to crash to see things on the ground, the police spokesman said.
Asiana Flight 214 was carrying 291 passengers and 16 crew members when it crash landed July 6 on the runway after striking a seawall.
