Dog reunited with owner after 3 years
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - A dog that disappeared three years ago was reunited with its stunned owner after an animal control officer found the dog's embedded microchip and retrieved the owner's information.
Bella, a shepherd-pit bull mix began the final leg of her journey back home after she surprised a man who was working inside a small Riverside market, according to John Welsh of the Riverside County Department of Animal Services.
The dog was startled, excited and damaged some merchandise in the store, so the man called the Department of Animal Services. When Officer Gary Pahls arrived, he calmed the dog, placed a leash around her and checked for a microchip, according to Welsh.
Using his hand-held scanner, Pahls located the chip and retrieved the owner's information. He called the number on the chip but that telephone number would not receive any incoming calls or allow him to leave a message.
Because the address was just a short distance away, Pahls drove the dog to the home. He rang the bell and shocked the pet owner with the news, according to Welsh.
"I'm here about your dog," Pahls told the surprised woman. She told him, "That dog is dead. She's been missing three years," according to Welsh. Pahls told her the dog was sitting in his truck.
When the woman saw Bella for the first time in three years, she put her hands on her mouth and began crying, according to Welsh. The woman composed herself and then told the officer she never thought she would see Bella again.
The owners, Jesus and Patricia Rodallegas, lost the dog just after Patricia gave birth to her now-3-year-old daughter, Aleena, Welsh said. Her husband, Jesus, is serving in the U.S. Army in Guam.
Animal Services Deputy Director Frank Corvino, who supervises the Field Services Division, called the reunion another success story for the micro-chipped pet.
"We live for these types of reunions," Corvino said. "We also think this story gives us the chance to remind pet owners to keep their phone numbers associated with microchip current so that way we can reach the pet owner that much faster."

Tomás Rivera Center table shop
UTSA's Tomás Rivera Center table shops help students with study skills
By Kareem el Dahab
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(March 17, 2006)--UTSA's Tomás Rivera Center for Student Success (TRC) is reaching out to students with "table shops," which are five-minute information sessions presented at tables at the UTSA campuses.
Table shops will be set up noon-1 p.m., March 22, at Sombrilla Plaza and noon-1 p.m., March 23, in the University Center, both with the theme "Spring Back from Spring Break."
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

In January and February, TRC tables were set up at busy locations on the 1604 and Downtown campuses, where TRC staff members invited students to take a few minutes to discuss time management and other study skills.
In addition to improving study strategies, the TRC gave out free Scantron sheets and asked students to fill out short surveys about their learning needs.
For more information, visit the Tomás Rivera Center Web site, or call (210) 458-4694 at the 1604 Campus or (210) 458-2838 at the Downtown Campus.

If the rumors are true, it will be a fee signing and I am going. I have a feeling it is going to be expensive though.

Well, this is my last weekend of summer vacation. This coming Wednesday, it's back to work for me with staff meetings and such....the "little ones" start classes on Monday the 23rd.........anyone else starting back to work? 42
Well, this is my last weekend of summer vacation. This coming Wednesday, it's back to work for me with staff meetings and such....the "little ones" start classes on Monday the 23rd.........anyone else starting back to work? 42
I went back Thursday, and the students come on Tuesday. *sigh* And I taught summer school, so I didn't get much of a break....
Am I ready for Tuesday? Guess not, lol. I have five sections of freshman English and one section of British Lit, a senior college prep class. Should be a nice break from the freshmen.
Mine doesn't start till after Labor Day. I will be teaching Discrete Mathematics for prospective High School teachers. This course is always a struggle because there is a continuing argument between the College of Education and the College of Science as to what these courses should entail. The Mathematics Department pushes the idea that a math major is a math major, and then after that you can take your degree and go into teaching, or whatever vocation you wish to pursue.
The College of Education fells that the content area needs of secondary education majors are different from those of students in the engineering cirriculum, or prospective physicists, or computer science majors.
The College of Science counters that this is just an excuse for watering down the content.
So the upshot is, I get a lot of students in my class who want to argue about educational philosophy and pedagogical methods instead of learning mathematics.
Oh, well.
That brings back painful memories of my days as a TA for Molecular Biology (required for all Bio majors and therefore for the pre-meds).
True story - my friend and I (as the 2 TAs) got to write a question for the exam based on the scientific articles assigned. One week, we both asked our classes the same question, and it was clear no one as usual had read the article. We refused to go over the article any further, explaining that we knew how to read the literature, they had to learn how. When we wrote the question, it was clear, that no one had gone back to read that article except for one student who gushed at us as she left "I knew you would ask these questions, I knew!". You'd think a gift of 10 points out of a 100 point test might have made a little impact on them, but no...
Ah Princess.........British Lit, my favorite English class in college, that and the class I took on the works of Jane Austen..........I have twenty second graders to look forward to, 9 girls and 11 boys.......gotta love them........ 42
Show, that's cool that you have such a nice class size. Here we have to struggle to get classes down to 33 or 34.
My first twenty years or so of teaching, I had classes between 32 and 34 students, in a classroom without air conditioning. The temperature in the valley can and does easily top 100 degrees in May, June, Aug, Sept, and sometimes part of October.........42
I never had any holidays...I have been slugging out books since June for the new and returning students for the Fall semester. Four more weeks to go...Oh my aching back!!Originally Posted by show 42

Hey Mathman,
Mathematics for elementary educators was the most rewarding class I took in college!!! I had to take 4 semesters of math for my degree, 2 were of my choice and 2 were required to be based in instruction and best practices for future teachers.
The most interesting thing we learned was different methods used for +-X and / around the world. We examined the way the egyptians, chinese and brittish students are taught to perform the various functions and it was very interesting to see different variations on the same function. It helped me get a stronger grasp on the relationship of numbers to be able to see a different perspective like that. It was just a small part of the class, but I feel like it really helped me to improve in math overall.
AAAAAIIIEEEEEEEEE!!! School started today. Several of my freshmen looked like Show's second graders, and others needed to shave their five o'clock shadows at noon! I've never seen such a huge disparity. Especially when they sit next to each other. (Laura steps aside to adjust seating charts...)
And in my Brit Lit class, I have four football players who signed up for the class because until two weeks ago, a football coach was teaching it. When I said "No late papers," they whined, "But that's not what Coach said." Well, he isn't teaching the class now is he? Was I mean? I mean, it IS a college prep class, and I've never had a professor take a late paper.
Whoa Princess, the first day is always the toughest and feels like twenty-four hours long......mine's on Monday...wish me luck!!!! 42
In a week I go back to work with the preschoolers. Messy art work, little fits, toys everywhere for me to pick up while they watch. The pay check is what gets me through the hard times and going home to no children.
Besides that cruise I took in June, I did absolutely nothing of interest or merit this summer vacationwise. It was work, work, work. I don't really want RG Jr. to go back to school, however. I liked her 10-4 summer camp schedule (better than the 8-2:30 during the school year) and I enjoyed our mornings together, especially on swim team practice days (5:30 a.m.!!!). I like the laid back schedule for the family--no homework, no frantic afternoon rush to lessons, swim practice. I am, however, glad that after 2 years of being PTA President, I've handed off that job to someone else! I enjoyed it--but I'm glad I don't have to do it this year!
Edited to add: I don't want it to appear as though I needed more vacation time than a 7 day cruise--so let me qualify the above by mentioning that I pretty much worked seven days a week for the rest of the summer! :D

I got a new teaching job just this past Tuesday! I got a call for the interview, went in, was hired the next day, then started with students the following day (yesterday)! It has been quite a stressful past three days, to say the least. I have taught middle school English for the past six years, but have switched to high school this year. I now teach three sections of freshman English and two junior British Lit. It is a college prep school, so the students expect lots of work. Maybe we can trade lesson plan ideas! I have never begun school so early in all my life (Aug 18th). I am at an all boys school and I am not really looking forward to reading Jane Austin with them!Originally Posted by PrincessLeppard

eeeek....yes. i'm enjoying my last weekend of freedom now. We go in for teacher institute meetings on Monday...a work day on Tuesday, then the kiddies come back on Wednesday. <sigh>...it always seems to be during the last week that all of sudden I realize that there's so much junk i didn't do over the summer.
But that said...I think this year will be fun. Enrollment in the choir program has jumped by about 15 students this year, which is great. And I got a (relative) ton of freshman enrolled...last year, there were about 10 or so freshmen that joined the program...this year there are 25! Not too shabby, considering that the director at my feeder junior high was a witch and made the kids hate it. Recruitment is such a wonderful tool!

Hi from Ohio!

Thank you! The long arm is a great machine but a big learning curve. I have a meandering down. Last night I did my first quilt (my daughter's t-shirt quilt that was started in 2006) as a practice run. I was so concern about getting the tension correct that I didn't pay too much attention on how I was loading it. (my first attempt at loading with some practice material wasn't an issue) Well, after I did my first pass and was ready to take up the quilt I discovered that I put it on the rollers backwards so I couldn't take it up easily. I did get it finished and it turned out but sure was a challenge every time I had to take it up on the rollers. Certainly won't make that mistake again. :)

Frostbite Sailboat Race
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - It wasn't quite the day weather-wise for a competition called the Frostbite Race in Carter County the first day of the year.
The Frostbite is a sailboat race on Watauga Lake, held on the first day of the year. Warm temperatures and light winds didn't bother the hardy racers who came out to compete this year.
The sailboat captains gather on the dock for a pre-competition meeting about this year's annual race around the lake. This is the 14th year for the race involving members of the Watauga Lake Sailing Club.
Things were a little different this year as far as the layout of the course. "This year the lake is down about four to five feet below where it is at winter pool. So rather than have them go out around the island, we'll have a flag marker. We'll race out to towards the flag marker, and come back to the starting point," Club Commodore Dennis Anthony said.
Sunny skies and light winds could be an advantage for some of the boats. All sizes and types of sailboats are in this years competition. "Our boat is a 24-footer. When we get about 10 to 12-[footers racing against us], we tend to be overpowered and we have to reduce so much sail," last year's winner Skip Greene says.
Regardless of the weather, the sight of a dozen sailboats on the water this first day of the year is a sight to see. They may seem as though they're just going around in circles at first, because none of the boats start the race at the same time. "We have a staggered start. Some of the faster boats like last years winner, he gets to start about 22 minutes after the first boat starts," Commodore Anthony said.
But for some of the racers and their crews, it's the catching up that makes the competition fierce. "We're used to that and it's a catch up game for us. We try to catch the other boats and we enjoy doing that," last year's winner said.
Competing or not, members of the club enjoy gathering and sailing on this first day of the year. Besides, there's no real prize for the winner -- just bragging rights till next year.

Australian author Isolde Martyn has based her latest historical novel Mistress to the Crown around the very interesting Jane Shore, who was the mistress of Edward IV.
In the book, Jane Shore's husband is apparently impotent and when Lord Hastings enters her husband's shop unexpectedly, she takes a chance that he will be able to help her annul her marriage.
One thing leads to another and before you know it she finds herself before the king of England.
I'm a big fan of historical novels, so I was looking forward to reading Mistress to the Crown. I wasn't disappointed. Martyn has obviously done her homework and readers will find themselves transported back to 1463.
I enjoyed Shore's character, who was in most ways a slave to powerful men, but also had courage and wit.
I asked Martyn some questions:
Jane Shore is certainly an interesting person. How did you first learn about her?
I remember reading Jean Plaidy's novel The Goldsmith's Wife in my teens. Since that book was written, it's been discovered that Mistress Shore was neither married to a goldsmith nor christened Jane.
Her name was Elizabeth and she was the daughter of a wealthy alderman, John Lambard, a former Sheriff of London. Everything I've found out about her made her the perfect heroine - an intelligent woman at the core of political events. Richard III accused her of witchcraft and treason, but she won many men's hearts. Sir Thomas More wrote of King Edward's adoration of her: "Many he had; but her he loved."
What sparked your interest in history?
Going round the Tower of London. Such fabulous legends. A queen beheaded here, a king murdered there.
Delightfully gruesome stuff to inspire a 9-year-old.
How do you decide how much truth and how much fiction goes into your historical novels?
When you're dealing with the second half of the 15th century, very little "truth" is known. I try and keep to what facts have survived and then build from that.
How do you bring your characters to life?
Some of the real people are so fascinating that it's a joy to flesh them out. What they did historically tells me the decisions they made.
As a novelist, it's up to me to work out their motives and why they acted as they did. Researching a real person's upbringing can help me understand why they might turn into a ruthless tyrant or a womaniser.
Using a smattering of phrases and imagery I've come across in literature of the 15th century can help, but I have to be frugal.
No reader wants the hero going "Forsooth!" and "Oddsbodikins!" all over the place. No way.
What do you think is the most important aspect of a historical novel in terms of transporting a reader back in time?
The storytelling needs to contain no words or anachronisms to break the reader's concentration and flick them suddenly into the present day.
Engaging the reader's trust is so crucial.
By the end of the first chapter or even the first page, you want your reader to feel that everything's fine and it's time to just sit back and enjoy the adventure.
Tell us about a typical day when you are in the middle of a novel.
Maybe I can say this: I love it when I wake up in the morning and find my subconscious has been going over stuff I wrote the day before and has some suggestions to make. That's when you know you are really deep in the writing. Sometimes, too, the hero and heroine wickedly surprise me by taking over the plot and doing things their way.
How do you celebrate finishing a book?
Maybe sharing a bottle of Cloudy Bay sauvignon blanc might be the perfect way.
What is the first book you remember reading?
I think listening to my mother sing about The Raggletaggle Gypsies might be the answer here.
Rosemary Sutcliff was my favourite author and The Queen Elizabeth Story about Perdita, a little Elizabethan girl in a farthingale, was my favourite.
What's next for you?
I have a novel about Richard of Gloucester's coup in 1483 ready to put up as an ebook. The story is told by Richard's cousin, Buckingham.
And if the skeleton in the Leicester carpark is King Richard III's, then this is the perfect year to publish.
Three top tips for aspiring writers?
Read your novel aloud. Can you hear the flat bits? Is the dialogue zesty or longwinded?
Is that sentence too convoluted? It's a great way to self-edit.
If you have a sense of humour, make subtle use of it.
If you haven't a sense of humour, don't!
If you can find a critique group that suits you, go for it.
Constructive criticism, encouragement and support in bad times and good are all priceless.

Door-Knocking Security Alarm Scam Hits Florida Residents
Police say some people are posing as a security alarm salesman from various companies.
By SSI Staff · June 6, 2014
PALM BAY, Fla. — Police are warning residents of this coastal city, located about 70 miles southeast of Orlando, about a scam going around using fake security alarms as a front, WKMG-TV reports.
Police say some people are posing as a security alarm salesman from various companies. The imposters could be actually casing homes to come back later and rip homeowners off, according to authorities.
The CBS-affiliated television station spoke to GiGi Ramirez who recently moved into a Palm Bay neighborhood and was visited by one of the door-knocking scammers.
Ramirez told the imposter that she wasn't interested, but he still kept trying.
"They wanted to give me gift certificates from Home Depot and Lowe's. I said, 'I don't want anything like that. I never called you.' I told them to get out," she told the TV station.

During the 1910s and thereafter Bonnard developed images of interiors that are very different to the private interiors of his Nabi years. Figures are now exposed to reality, presented as on a stage. Bonnard's partner and model, Marthe, becomes an actress in an active and emancipated role, elegantly dressed and dominating the scene. Gas light is replaced by dazzling electric light. No children appear in these interiors.
In the 1920s Bonnard undertook fewer decorative projects, but took his decorative style beyond panels designed for specific interiors into the often large-scale landscapes that he had begun to paint in the village of Vernonnet, where he often worked in these years where, having acquired a little house, Ma Roulotte (My Caravan), in 1912.
Vernonnet is on the Seine near Vernon, a few kilometres west of Giverny, where Monet had lived and worked for almost 30 years. The two men became close friends. Unlike Monet's garden, Bonnard's was not carefully planned, but an overgrown lush jungle of wildflowers, bushes and trees.
Bonnard painted many views from Ma Roulotte, from his window and from the balcony. He depicted the colourful garden, the green fields, the treetops, the poplars, elms and willows that lined the riverbanks, the Seine with its boats. The impression of these all-over compositions is of a dense, panoramic view of an indefinite landscape.
In April 1924, a retrospective of Bonnard's work at the Galerie Druet in Paris included 89 paintings dating from 1890 to 1922. The show attracted favourable criticism. The art critic Elie Faure characterised well the originality of Bonnard's art:
Like the rarest artists, he gives the impression of having invented painting. This is not merely because everything in the world — everything, every day — is new to him and so he expresses it in a new way, but also because he stands at the dawn of a new intellectual order. He was the first to organise it, following a rhythm of which we had been unaware before his arrival: the fine old harmonies that make us what we are.

ObamaCare: Taxing the uninsured
posted at 10:11 am on July 15, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Keith Hennessey has done a little digging into the House method of paying for health-care reform and sees some significant sleight-of-hand in the details. Barack Obama says that he wants to provide health-care coverage for all Americans without raising taxes on anyone under $250,000. Keith points out that the proposal in fact does tax people who make less than the Obama definition of rich, and significantly:
As expected, the House bill would mandate that individuals and families have or buy health insurance.
But what if they don't buy it?
Then Section 401 kicks in. Any individual (or family) that does not have health insurance would have to pay a new tax, roughly equal to the smaller of 2.5% of your income or the cost of a health insurance plan. …
I assume the bill authors would respond, "But why wouldn't you want insurance? After all, we're subsidizing it for everyone up to 400% of the poverty line."
That is true. But if you're a single person with income of $44,000 or higher, then you're above 400% of the poverty line. You would not be subsidized, but would face the punitive tax if you didn't get health insurance. This bill leaves an important gap between the subsidies and the cost of health insurance. CBO says that for about eight million people, that gap is too big to close, and they would get stuck paying higher taxes and still without health insurance.
This doesn't just amount to a slight gap in the net that allows a few oddball cases to slip, either. Keith provides two scenarios, both entirely plausible, to demonstrate how the CBO determined that eight million people — around 20% of the current uninsured — would likely end up with no insurance and higher taxes. The mandate in the bill would force people to choose between paying the taxes or paying as much as three times as much for health insurance, assuming a family plan.
The House plan may not live for very long, anyway. The Senate doesn't want to impose taxes at all if they can get away with it, especially not the Charlie Rangel "soak the rich" taxes the House proposes:
But the plan has drawn sharp attacks from Republicans and is already creating friction with Democrats in the Senate.
"Tax is a four-letter word" with voters, said Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). Even families not ranking in the top 1 percent of earners "hope they're going to be there someday," he said. "So they don't necessarily think it's fair."
Senate negotiators have all but abandoned plans to directly tax the wealthy and are focusing instead on an array of smaller, more narrowly targeted revenue measures that would raise money from drug and insurance companies, as well as individuals and corporations. A tax on employer-provided health benefits remains part of that discussion, but Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), who is promoting a tax on the most generous 1 percent of private plans, conceded yesterday that such a proposal is "a very tough sell."
Why? Doesn't everyone hate the "rich" these days? Not exactly. As John Boehner points out, many of the so-called "rich" above $250K a year in earnings are small-business owners who simply file their business revenues as personal income. A 5.4% "surtax" — really just a hike in the upper tax bracket — will take more of their capital out of their businesses and reduce the opportunity for job growth.
The Post notes that the "surtax" would apply to about 2.1 million Americans. The mandate for coverage will force almost four times as many middle-class Americans to pay higher taxes as a result of the ObamaCare plan in the House while preventing them from getting coverage. The House hasn't soaked the rich; they've declared war on the middle class and the uninsured.

An Ode to "Old"
Bringing a fresh, new puppy or kitten into your family can be so much fun! But, at HAWS we always like to remind people that adult pets can be just as wonderful...and your journey together so meaningful. With age comes wisdom - for all species...
When you commit to your dog, cat or other pet for it's lifetime, guiding that pet through the senior years is inevitable. Life with an older pet is so rewarding - whether you've been together from the beginning or just found each other later in life.
Several of my co-workers and I are on a similar "schedule" with our pets. We all adopted our babies back in the late 90s or early 00s, so we've been watching them grow up and grow old together. Sadly, we are also starting to see those beloved dogs and cats pass on - Mason at age 12, Belle at 16, Linx at 19. Dozer was 12, Magnum was 11 and Bailey was 14. While we grieve for each of them, we also know that they probably blessed our lives more than we did theirs!
Each time we lose a pet it reminds us to live more in the moment - and in our cases, especially with those pets who are still sharing our lives. I feel gratitude for every day I still have with my Fuzzy Mutt, Freeway, who turned 15 about 2 weeks ago..and doesn't let us forget that! Stiff and sore in the morning? So what - it's time for a walk! Bedtime? No way, not while there's still squeak in that squeaky toy. Quiet time? Well, since you're just sitting there you may as well give me an earrub or neck scratch.
Pets bring value to our lives at any age. If you want a jogging partner, definitely bring home an energetic pup. And when you're looking to add a little serenity to your life, that 8-years-young cat or dog is ready and waiting.
Just don't miss a minute! And enjoy the journey - together.
By the way - some super sweet "older" pets are waiting for homes at HAWS right now. Like Aries the cat, age 12; Bear the MinPin, age 10 (pictured at left); Kenya the Pittie, age 6; Sebastian the cat, age 11 (pictured at top). Stop by 7 days a week to view and adopt - we'd all love to see you!
HAWS' Viewing & Adoption Hours:
Monday - Friday, 1 - 6pm
Saturday, 11am - 4pm
Sunday, Noon - 4pm
Call and ask about any of our adoptables - our phone lines open at 9am Monday thru Saturday, and at Noon on Sunday!

As I understood it, the lifecycle is altered (they emerge quicker, or before 'large cell' bees) which interferes with the mites lifecycle which prefers about a 21 day emergence schedule or something like that. I see noticeable differences between my two hives, one is small cell from plastic frames, the other is a mix of foundation and duragilt I believe. (I did not set them up initially). I can't really make any direct comparison at this point as the hives have not been treated the same but just looking at behavior, the small cell has more bees per unit of area which I think makes for a stronger hive in general.

Cooking a feast without the flames
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Thanksgiving means lots of cooking for many of us, but firefighters said the holidays are the busiest days of the year for cooking fires.
That's why fire officials want to remind you; if you plan to fry your turkey this year, be very cautious.
Always use your fryer outside but never on a deck, and keep it at least 10 feet away from your home, trees, and other combustibles.
Another helpful tip is to go by the guidelines when it comes to pouring in the oil and never over fill your fryer.
"When you put the turkey in, the oils run over the edge and then catch on fire. Also, you have a lot of the time turkeys not being thawed completely, which causes the oil to boil and overflow," said Lt. Alan Howard with the Bristol, Tennessee Fire Department.
We're told about half of all fires that happened in Bristol, Tennessee this year have been cooking fires. So this Thanksgiving, be mindful about using your timer, keeping oven mitts and rags away from your stoves, and make sure your smoke detectors are working.

Reviews of this property
The house it was ok and very well located, but it needed a very deeper cleansing. Neither there wasn´t microwave and a lot of plugs didn´t work.
On the other hand, Carlotta allowed us to stay the last day until 18.00 pm (check out) because our plane left at 21.00 pm.
It was a super great stay. The 4 of us really enjoyed it. Carlotta was a big help in giving us some nice tips and the location of the apartment was just perfect. More or less walking distance to everything but still in a rather quiet surrounding.
Thanks once more!!!!
Perfect location, within walking distance to a very convenient bus line. The Vatican, Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona were also walkable. Carlotta and Jakob were very welcoming and accommodating. This was exactly what we hoped for and it made our stay in Rome comfortable and enjoyable.
Excellent and quiet appartment and excellent location. Well equipped and suiteful for a small family.
Very nice host. Appartment was very clean, cosy and big. It is not far away from Pantheon. It was an amazing stay. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Carlotta! We had a wonderful time in your apartment in Rome.
It was a beautiful place in a perfect location. Just ten minutes walking from Piazza Navona, Vatican City and other famous landmarks. It is in a very quiet street, with views to a beautiful Roman patio. Also, it was spotlessly clean. We will be back!
Beautiful apartment in a perfect location in Rome. Very clean with spacious rooms which both had private locks.
Host was extremely responsive and helped immediately when we had a brief power cut.
The shower was always brilliant with the option of a normal shower or rain shower.
We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend staying here to anyone interested in visiting Rome.
Myself, my mother and my sister spent some wonderful days in Rome. We just loved the apartment, so nice, so quiet and within walking distance to a lot of tourist attractions in this fantastic city, I just want to go back!!
Perfect stay in Carlotta's house! Great location, spacious apartment, beautiful decor. Would recommend 100%
A cozy well equipped / furnished apartment with fine belligenhed.
absolutely recommendable
En hyggelig veludstyret/indrettet lejlighed med fin belligenhed.
absolut anbefalelsesværdig

Students come clean, sometimes face ostracism
If you could save someone from injury, or even death, by speaking up, would you hesitate?
What if, by speaking up, you risked consequences that included losing friends, losing a parent's trust, being looked down on by your community, or even legal ramifications? Would you still speak up?
That is one risk a group of students from Pine River-Backus High School took in spite of the fact that in speaking out, some of them were admitting to using drugs at one time.
Kathy Wagner, a teacher at PR-B, has a group of very determined students. They are on a mission to make it harder for kids to get "synthetic marijuana" and easier for them to make the right decision and avoid it. Among her students are a few former users, but those students are some of her most passionate.
"'Bill' (not the student's real name) came in with another student really angry because it was zombifying their friends," Wagner said. "People were mad, so I said, 'Let's take this energy and make an editorial.' Then it got so big we needed more than an editorial."
Bill is a former user. He was attracted to synthetics by a daily marijuana habit, but when he watched his girlfriend go through a bad reaction to the drugs and then had one himself, he quit both drugs with help from his mother and friends.
"I got on my hands and knees and begged God to take away my addiction," Bill said.
The group began by pooling resources. They contacted Karen Dobner, founder of To the Maximus Foundation, a group dedicated to working against synthetic drugs and founded when Dobner's 19-year-old son, Max, crashed into a home while under the influence of synthetic marijuana in 2011 and died.
The group spoke to Pine River police officers and Kelly Felton of the Working Together Coalition for advice. Bill even got in contact with Brian Welch, an advocate for recovering drug addicts and formerly of heavy metal band Korn.
"We have been hearing about it on and off for the last couple of years, but we don't have any data at this point to show how many students are or are not using it. At this point it is just hearing it from community members and our students," Felton said. "I'm excited that the kids have taken this on themselves and that they are being proactive and trying to prevent their peers from using this substance."
They made posters and began selling rubber band bracelets for $1 a piece, with proceeds going toward Dobner's foundation. Wagner's class also circulated a survey at PR-B High School. Overall, their goals are simple.
"We're just trying to get people as aware as possible so they don't get blind sided like me," Bill said.
Synthetic marijuana is a product labeled for sale as a sort of "herbal incense," but it has attracted attention worldwide as a source of a high. It is sold under many different brands and names, which, unfortunately, can be easily accessible, hard to detect, hard to regulate and dangerous.
Among the reactions to this drug that have been witnessed, experienced and read about by Wagner's group are: seizures, strokes, coughing blood, vomiting, unconsciousness, hallucinations, psychosis, violent and self threatening behavior. Some of these reactions, such as seizures and coughing blood, are very common.
"I quit because I saw my best friend almost die. He had a seizure and he didn't wake up for 45 minutes. We thought about calling an ambulance but we're just a bunch of kids, what are we going to say to an ambulance?" "John" (not his real name) said. "As soon as he was done with the seizure and woke up he was like, 'That was the best time of my life,' and we said, 'You almost died.' He said, 'I don't care.'"
Synthetic marijuana is made by adding chemical compounds to natural herbs. These chemicals pose some difficulties to lawmakers.
"They can change a chemical that's already been made illegal and then it's legal, it's back on the market," Bill said.
In addition, the product is sold as incense, almost always with a label that reads "not for human consumption," which allows manufacturers to get around other laws.
"What we learned in this class is how people can use words to make it look like it's something good," Wagner said. "And they have this website that is condoning it and saying, 'Don't worry about it.'"
In addition, it is hard to detect synthetic marijuana in those who have smoked it, partially because of how the body absorbs it and partially because of its constantly changing composition.
Bill has found that coming clean about his prior use and the things he did while using synthetic marijuana has cost him friends and other things, but he still considers it a worthy cause.
"It wasn't hard to speak out against it. After my friend almost died, I didn't care who heard, I was going to say what I wanted to say about it. My parents were very, very upset," he said. "My parents don't trust me anymore."
It was this type of honesty, however, that made this group possible.
"They were honest with me, and it allowed this platform to become a place where they could share," Wagner said.
"I think that's great, I really do," said Pine River Police Chief Paul Sand. "These guys are putting their necks out there to do something, to make people aware of it, because they are former users. They know."
The survey distributed throughout the school reached more than 200 students. Among them, 90 percent of students said they had never used synthetic marijuana, though 38 percent said they had friends who had.
The results of this survey reflect findings with local law enforcement.
"I think there's been some issues with it, but not a big problem that I've seen," said Sand. "We've seen it. We've also confiscated some."
"From what I've found we haven't really dealt with that at all. It's been very few and far between. I can't actually find a case we had to send in for prosecution," said Lt. Scott Thompson with the Cass County Sheriff's Department. "I know it's available and out there. The officers that I've talked to haven't dealt with it or seen it."
Cass County Attorney Christopher Strandlie said sale and possession of synthetic marijuana is treated similar to that of marijuana. Strandlie also said there have not been any cases referred to the Cass County Attorney's Office for prosecution, though this could simply mean most incidents regarding this substance result in a misdemeanor and a payable ticket. The sale of synthetic marijuana is a felony and would result in significantly more serious charges. Strandlie applauds the efforts of these students.
Wagner said there were some at PR-B with mixed feelings about her class' campaign, due to a fear that it could give the wrong message concerning actual marijuana.
"We are against all drugs," Wagner said. "We just wanted kids to recognize that this thing is out there and we don't want any of our PR-B kids to die."

Marian's Biography
Most meaningful advice received: "From my father: 'Follow the need. God runs a full employment economy and that service is the rent that each of us pays for living.'"
Two Role Models: "Two brilliant slave women - Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman."
Proudest Accomplishment: Her children
First Paying Job: NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Marian Wright Edelman is a renowned activist who has been fighting for the rights of children for the last 40 years. Through the Children's Defense Fund that she established in 1973, she has been a leading national voice for disadvantaged children and families.
Edelman grew up in South Carolina, the youngest of five children of a Baptist preacher who taught her early on about the importance of serving others and pursuing an education. As a graduate of Spelman College and Yale Law School, she became the first African-American woman admitted to the Mississippi bar in 1963. She began her legal career in the as an attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and served as the director of the Jackson, Mississippi office, defending her peers in the Civil Rights Movement, as well as helping to establish the local Head Start program.
In 1968, she moved to Washington, D.C. as counsel for the Poor People's March that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began organizing before his death. Out of her work on poverty with Dr. King, she formed the Washington Research Project, a public interest law firm and the parent body of the Children's Defense Fund (CDF), a non-profit child advocacy organization that has now worked for nearly 40 years to ensure a level playing field for all of America's children.
Edelman has received over a hundred honorary degrees and many awards including the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Prize, the Heinz Award, and a MacArthur Foundation Prize Fellowship. In 2000, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Lifetime Achievement Award for her writings which include: Families in Peril: An Agenda for Social Change, The Measure of Our Success: A Letter to My Children and Yours, and Hold My Hand: Prayers for Building a Movement to Leave No Child Behind."

Movie Review: Ted
If you haven't seen Ted yet, run, don't walk, to the nearest theatre.
Director: Seth MacFarlane
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: Media Rights Capital
Seth MacFarlane takes his bow as a feature film director with Ted, a potty-mouthed, melancholy parable about the price of getting exactly what you wish for. Mark Wahlberg plays a 35-ish Bostonite who as a lonely little boy wanted his teddy bear to spring to life. It did, famously, and Wahlberg's character has suffered the consequences ever since. Turns out, Teddy (voiced by MacFarlane and sounding exactly like Peter Griffin) has aged into a loud, foul-mouthed, party-hardy, sexually kinky type who has worn out his welcome and helps keep Wahlberg in a state of perpetual arrested development.
Our hero is smart enough, all right, yet he's a chronic underachiever who pretty much likes to smoke dope, hang with off-center friends and watch Flash Gordon over and over, yet somehow has a sexy, successful and surprisingly tolerant girlfriend (Mila Kunis). Ted features the nonstop barrage of entertainingly crude, hilariously boundary-pushing jokes, pop culture references and random, idiosyncratic asides and non sequiturs we expect from the creator of Family Guy and American Dad. It's funny, nostalgic, even touching and Wahlberg's chemistry with an animated bear sells the premise and gives the movie a massive lift. Ted, cowritten by MacFarlane with longtimers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, is as ridiculous and filthy as you'd want it to be and that ought to be good enough for MacFarlane-heads.

About 3,800 students will receive diplomas May 16 from the University of Colorado at Boulder in outdoor commencement exercises in Folsom Stadium.
Of the diplomas to be presented, about 2,700 will be for bachelors degrees, 700 for masters degrees and 400 for doctorates. Forty-eight students will earn two diplomas and about 356 will receive their degrees with honors.
The stadium ceremonies will begin at 9:30 a.m. following the traditional procession of faculty and students from Norlin Quadrangle at 9 a.m., led by Dean of Libraries James Williams, the commencement marshal.
President John Buechner will give welcoming remarks and Interim Chancellor Richard Byyny, will give the commencement address. Other brief talks will be by representatives of the Boulder Faculty Assembly, the University of Colorado Student Union and the Alumni Association.
The exercises will be in Folsom Stadium regardless of the weather. Graduating students and guests are asked to check the morning forecast and prepare accordingly. If it does rain, the procession will be canceled and the ceremony abbreviated. The program is expected to end before 11:30 a.m.
Honorary degrees will be awarded to KCNC-Channel 4 newscaster Bob Palmer and Coors Brewing Co. President William Coors. Each will receive a Doctor of Humane Letters.
The Chancellors Recognition Award for students receiving all As in their college careers will be given to Shawn Timothy Stone of Monument, who will receive a bachelors degree in electrical and computer engineering. Stone, a graduate of Rampart High School in Colorado Springs, also has been named Outstanding Graduate of the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
The outstanding graduates named by their schools and colleges are Joseph Nathan Geiger of Moscow, Idaho, bachelors in environmental design (Architecture and Planning); Katherine Ann Potter of Rifle, bachelors of fine arts in theater and bachelors in English (Arts and Sciences) and Brook Elaine DeHaro of Greenwood Village, bachelors in finance (Business and Administration).
Also named as outstanding graduates are Clark David Dollard of Solana Beach, Calif., bachelors in mathematics (Education); Shawn Timothy Stone of Monument, bachelors in electrical and computer engineering (Engineering and Applied Science); Ann Marion Hill of Eagle, bachelors in journalism (Journalism and Mass Communication) and Emily Anne Bowman of Eldorado Springs, bachelors in music (Music).
Students will enter the stadium from the south at gates one through six and sit in the horseshoe end. Guests should plan to be seated by 9:15 a.m. because the south gates will be closed before the processional. About 20,000 visitors and graduates are expected to attend.
Processional and recessional music by the University Commencement Band will be conducted by Thomas Caneva, associate director of bands. The vocalist will be Alice Dawson, who is receiving a bachelors in music degree during the ceremony.
Commencement carillonneur Aaron Nee will perform music on the bells from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. To close the commencement program Buechner will give the traditional Norlin Charge to Graduates. The words were spoken originally by President George Norlin to the graduating class of 1935.

Someone asked this recently in the Ask James Jacobs forum. His response, which I agree with, was: why not play it in Greyhawk? The Greyhawk campaign setting is as rich as Golarian (or maybe moreso due to age), and the Age of Worms has a lot of wonderful Greyhawk-specific material.
I apologize for not answering your question. Just wanted to offer something to think about.
Our Age of Worms game doesn't take place in Greyhawk and I don't think it's missing much. Half of the Greyhawk-specific references were stripped from it anyways and you'd have to add them back yourself.
I think Age of Worms is fairly easy to fit into any setting (at least the first parts). You just need a small town for Diamond Lake, a large-ish city for the Free City, and a marsh somewhere in between.
|Chris Lambertz Community & Digital Content Director
Where in Golarion would you place the Age of Worms adventure path?
I would probably make up a marsh in Osirion and site the first three adventures there. Varisia is also an obvious option. (The Free City can be Korvosa or Magnimar.)
The hinterlands of Katapesh could work too. Or Taldor. Really the AP is pretty portable. I'm running it in Unther and Mulhorand in FR right now.
I put it in Taldor, with the Free City being Oparra. It is mentioned in the faction book that there are a lot of ancient ruins and tombs in Taldor, so I thought, why not? Printed out the applicable Taldor refion map and added in Diamond Lake, Blackwall Keep and Magepoint.
I am gonna have Alhaster as a city on the border of Chelliax and Andoran, with the Rift up in the Storval mountains.
I'm prepping it now and I'm placing it in Ustalav with Caliphas sitting in for the Free City. This makes the city smaller obviously but I don't feel that it changes much at all. I placed Diamond Lake about 50 miles northwest of Caliphas and Rift Valley in the Hungry Mountains. I am removing Magepoint and Alhaster altogether, moving the action to Diamond Lake and Caliphas, primarily the latter.

I changed part of my cover crop to some buckwheat this year. I planted September 1 and it has been setting seed in all different stages. Been a nice fall here but with frost in the forecast I pulled up a 5x15 strip of it (pretty shallow rooted I got roots and all). Dumped it in a wheelbarrow with roots in the same side then I put it out of the rain. I am looking for suggestions for harvesting some seed from this for next year. I put in for the bees more than cover and a lot of it is pretty green. I am not looking for food grade but rather just seed for the following year. Fava out-competed the wheat in most of the corn and looks like slugs or something else has been hard on it in most of the other patches so if I cannot save seeds I probably will not plant it again.
The plan is to cut the tops off on some newspaper and let it dry.

"[As women,] our individual experiences with the health care system may vary, but the message doesn't change: we've all got something at stake when it comes to health reform and we'll all benefit from a comprehensive solution to the health care crisis."
The National Women's Law Center's new report, Still Nowhere to Turn: Insurance Companies Treat Women Like a Pre-Existing Condition, provides sobering new data about the inequities that women face in health insurance.
The extent of gender rating, in which insurance companies charge women more than men for the same coverage, has remained abysmal since the Center issued its landmark report in 2008, Nowhere to Turn: How the Individual Health Insurance Market Fails Women.
Both reports are available for download on the left.

Friday of this week, temps were in the lower 50's Saturday, temps were 60.
Went to see my hives, my were they busy, lost of young bees orientation flights around the hive.
So I had candy I made but didn't use, placed the candy on a plastic board, placed it on top of my two hives, wow they were hungry, I thought I would have to throw the candy away, but it's getting good use.
It's going to be cold in the USA for the next 2 to 3 weeks, and in most regions. It was nice to see my girls, since I've not seen them since Dec 1st.
So far looks like everything is doing ok, still have 8 weeks before I open things up to get the real story.

Just out of curiosity... why 'not' heat treat?
I'm actually kind of surprised your rifle is holding head space with no heat treat on it. (..is it maintaining head space? are you checking to see if it's growing with a complete set of gauges?) I've fired less than a mag on a raw receiver and had the head space grow considerably (not something I would recommend) You don't have to heat treat the entire receiver like DSA... I think the Austrians just spot treated their receivers. The area that takes the beating is around the locking shoulder. The shoulder itself won't deform (because it's heat treated) but the receiver in that area won't hold up.
I'm not here to preach or anything, either way it's nothing to me personally... just throwing out some info I've gained. Also, I've had an FAL fly apart on me due to bad ammo... and I can say definitively that it's not a recommended experience.
Someone said something about a receiver stub... I have some pics if that helps.

This Morning: Nokia Surges, Apple and RIM Prepare, EMC Scrutinized
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Nokia (NOK) are up 74 cents, or almost 20%, at $4.49, having increased gains steadily all morning after the company this morning pre-announced results that were better than the company had expected, based on both its "Devices & Services" division having better handset sales, including the "Lumia" portfolio, based on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone, and also better-than-expected performance in terms of cost management and margin at its Nokia Siemens Networks division. The company now expects €3.9 billion in Devices revenue, including sales of 6.6 million smartphones, of which 4.4 million Lumias, plus 9.3 million of its simpler "Asha" line of smartphones.
The Lumia figure appears to have been below some analysts' estimates, but above other analysts' estimates, based on their having been a wide spread. Nokia said it was supply-constrained on the Lumias. Jennifer Fritzsche with Wells Fargo is morning reiterates a Market Perform rating on the stock saying that she had been expecting 6.5 million Lumias. Still, she writes, "this represents the first quarter since Elop took the helm as CEO where the company has finally shown some tangible execution on its restructuring plans."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $2.06, almost half a percent, at $519.73 this morning
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster cut his price target on the stock to $875 from $900, writing that he thinks a forthcoming lower-priced version of the iPhone for emerging markets, about which he speculated yesterday, will carry lower gross margin, which will bring down Apple's gross margin in 2014 to 40.6% from a prior 41.5% estimate.
And Reuters's Melanie Lee this morning reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook was in China meeting with China Mobile's (CHL) chairman, Xi Guohua, during which time they "discussed matters of cooperation," according to a spokesperson that Lee quotes.
Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets this morning opined that the tone of that meeting, based on the press reports, sounds similar to the tone between Apple and China Telecom (CHA) just before the two finally inked a deal for Telecom to carry the iPhone. So he expects Apple to get a deal this year.
Shares of Research in Motion (RIMM) are up $.25, or 2%, at $11.74 following an article by Reuters's Sinead Carew stating that Verizon Communications (VZ) AT&T (T), and T-Mobile USA all plan to carry the new BlackBerry models the company will release when it puts out its BB10 operating system, which will make its debut on January 30th, citing interviews with the carriers this week at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Shares of EMC (EMC) are down 22 cents, or 1%, at $23.81 as analysts continue to debate the outlook for fourth quarter ended last month. Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty cut her rating on the shares to Equal Weight from Overweight, writing that "While C4Q turned out to be challenging for hardware in general, our channel checks suggest storage experienced the largest negative change on the margin."
However, BlueFin Research Partners's Rick Gately writes this morning that based on his research "While many resellers and distributors acknowledge that many customer deals came 'down to the wire' at the end of the year and some slipped into January, they mostly believe that EMC was able to book enough December business in order to achieve consensus estimates."
Hence, "With revised guidance that translates to $5.91B - $6.06B, most partners believe the Company will land within management's range for revenues, benefitting from the downward revision early last quarter," writes Gately. EMC is expected to report Q4 results on January 29th.

A joke of a guild on age of conan with raids taking up to 4-6 hours to do tier one raids. Its sad really most actual guild do these in less then an hour.Due to very poor fence jumping leadership of Kardelus the guild has basically became a joke.They are the worst raiding guild in the game. The leader Kardelus is a very sad little monkey who must be very lonely and frequently fantasies about girl players and favors them over all others. This is a poor example of the guilds on conan
Atlantean embers is a good joke on the server.

text: An ad for Belk recently came with our local paper, and the woman on the cover looks almost exactly like Nancy Kerrigan. The original paper ad actually looks even more like her, but you can view the mirror image here (don't know why they flipped it): http://www.belk.com/ That's not really Nancy, is it? ********** ETA: OK, I posted this yesterday. Apparently they've changed the picture on their Web site since then, and the new model, a blonde, looks nothing like Nancy Kerrigan. Maybe the faux Nancy will pop up again there soon.

Very nice, i love how the pattern matches on both scales!
