I have a 2yr. maine coon mix. he has a sensitive stomach. so we put him on a sensitive stomach dry food. then he started getting hairballs so we mixed in hairball food with the sensitive. to try and help both. i know that the hairball paste that you put on their paws is basically a laxative. he has had runny poop for a while. could the hairball food be counter acting the sensitive stomach food.

I believe that hairball food contains more fiber, which will more or less "push" the hairballs through. That's what the hairball paste does. It "greases" the way for the hairballs to be expelled. If he's just started the runny poops since you changed his diet, it's quite possible. A senstivie stomach would make him super-sensitive to any food changes. More grooming (by you) may be in order if he has a big problem with hairballs. I try to brush my 2 MC mixes at least once a day. If it's a REAL issue for him, you might even want to consider taking him to a cat groomer. I'd put him back on just the sensitive stomach food for a while and see if that helps.

Mafia takedowns win Italian chief FBI honors
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON- The FBI gave one of its highest honors Friday to Italy's national police chief for working a quarter-century with the U.S. to bring down an estimated 1,000 Mafia and other organized crime leaders in both countries.
De Gennaro, chief of the Italian National Police, said he worked so closely with the FBI and federal prosecutors that "sometimes I even woke up wondering if i was in Rome or in New York," he told an auditorium packed with current and former top FBI and Justice Department officials.
He said such international cooperation was valuable to help law enforcement face down threats "whether it appeared as a mobster or as a terrorist."
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who as a federal prosecutor in New York worked closely with De Gennaro on a number of Mafia cases in the 1980s, said that the U.S-Italy investigative bond "has really changed the face of organized crime.
"It has allowed the law enforcement infrastructure in both counties to really dismantle the command and control of the Mafia," Freeh said.

Billy PrestonView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
It's advantageous to get an early start on your chosen career, but Billy Preston took the concept to extremes. By age ten he was playing keyboards with gospel diva Mahalia Jackson, and two years later, in 1958, he was featured in Hollywood's film bio of W.C. Handy, St. Louis Blues, as young Handy himself. Preston was a prodigy on organ and piano, recording during the early '60s for Vee-Jay and touring with Little Richard. He was a loose-limbed regular on the mid-'60s ABC TV series Shindig, proving his talent as both a vocalist and pianist, and he built an enviable reputation as a session musician, even backing the Beatles on their Let It Be album. That impressive Beatles connection led to Preston's big break as a solo artist with his own Apple album, but it was his early-'70s soul smashes "Outa-Space" and the high-flying vocal "Will It Go Round in Circles" for A&M that put Preston on the permanent musical map. Sporting a humongous Afro and an omnipresent gap-toothed grin, Preston showed that his enduring gospel roots were never far removed from his joyous approach. He continued to perform and record throughout the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, until he fell into a coma caused by pericarditis late in 2005; sadly, he never regained consciousness and passed away on June 6, 2006. ~ Bill Dahl

As my own prospects of a summer season becoming increasingly dim, I find myself drawn in to the exploits of the endurance mountain biking counterculture. I've never really been able to count myself as a sports fan - in fact, the prospect of sitting through an entire game of any sport is about as appealing to me as watching laundry dry. But ever since the Iditarod Invitational, any tidbit I can find about gonzo races and the grimy athletes who compete in them is like candy to me. The more spartan and obscure, the better. Not doing any cycling of my own only fuels my fanaticism. Gwadzilla recently made an interesting observation about the state of specatorship. When a person says they "like" baseball or "like" music, it usually means they like others' baseball feats, others' music. Now, when I say I "like" cycling, I'm often thinking about events in the coming weeks that I'm not even connected to, but yet I look forward to them with a strange kind of zeal:
Arizona Trail 300, April 13: This race is still a pretty small affair, and I don't know much about it. But of all the mountain bike races out there, I'm most interested in ones that follow a multi-day, self-supported format.
Trans Iowa, April 28-29: I get a big kick out the fact that what seems to be the most popular event in grassroots distance mountain-bike racing happens to cross the state of Iowa. Now I've only glanced Iowa - barely - on the Interstate, so I'm in no position to judge. But ... Iowa? That anomaly alone makes this race very intriguing.
Kokopelli Trail Race, May 19: As far as I understand it, this race one of Mike Curiak's inventions. He's since passed the torch to others, which is just as well in these no-fee, no-support, no-podium events. This is one of the shortest of the gonzo events. At "only" 142 miles, it seems like it would be a good introduction into self-supported endurance racing.
Grand Loop Race, June 1: Another multi-day race. This one sounds intense. Not only is it 360 miles with about 48,000 feet of climbing, but racers attempt it in the stifling heat of the desert in June. It bills itself as one of the last, true, pure wilderness events, and I buy that assessment. Dave Harris is considering attacking this route solo, sometime in May, away from the already-small crowds and oh-so-subtle hype of the race itself. I like this kind of thinking, because it reaffirms my belief that the largest and most daunting events transcend competition into something else entirely.
Great Divide Race, June 15: This has to be the grand-daddy of all North American mountain bike races, although with more experience, I might be inclined to argue that the Ultrasport 1,100-mile race to Nome is even harder. Either way, GDR is the real deal. The amazing part is, there are 17 racers who are actually planning on attempting it. Some familiar names on the roster, too. The smart money's probably on Pete Basinger to be the first to Mexico, although Jay Petervay, Carl Hutchings and others I haven't even heard of will definitely put the hammer down. This should be a race to remember. I'm personally really looking forward to watching Dave Nice tackle the trail on a fixie of all things. These people are crazy! That's what makes these events so fun to watch.
There's probably a whole slew of other races that are still outside my radar, but if I stay off my own bike much longer, I'm sure I'll find them soon enough.

Balancing Severe Decision Conflicts under Climate Extremes in Water Resource Management
Over the past several years there have been increasing calls for decision support tools in the area of climate and acknowledgement that changing extremes add to an already challenging decision environment for water managers. Recurring droughts, flood events, and concerns over extreme events in the future have created a strong interest among water managers in the Front Range of Colorado about how to plan in the face of these extremes. Traditional methods of identifying alternatives for water supply management may not fully capture the range of existing preferred alternatives, meaning that utilities may miss some of the solutions that appropriately balance among tradeoffs.

Interactions of Drought and Climate Adaptation (IDCA) for Urban Water
This new project, which was recently funded by the NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), will examine how drought policies interact with both short-term drought and long-term climate change. It will ask whether adjustment today or in the past lead to more resilient systems across climate time scales. The project researchers hypothesize that the more effective a policy becomes in terms of increasing water use efficiency, the more reliant the system becomes on accurate information. Read more ...

1928 Hennway pickup
This is my latest project, nearly completed after 8 months of intense thrashing and sleep deprivation but on the road now! Visitors to this site will probably see some similarities to the red 32 pickup I built and sold to a friend in Wisconsin, seen on cboy's journal.
This is not a modified old truck but a completely new creation pulled from my over-active imagination. I started in mid-November '05 with some drawings in chalky on the garage floor and two organ donor vehicles. A 78 F150 gave up the frame,front suspension 9 inch rearend,gas tank, brake booster & pedal assy. Engine/trans (454 & Turbo 400) , steering column came from a 75 Chevy pu. The frame is heavily modified- Z'd in rear, straightened in the middle, boxed, x-member added trimmed and pinched in front with fabricated front horns. I like the twin I beam front end because it gives a look something like an early axle while being Dependant, plentiful and cheap and has beefy 11&1/2" disc brakes.
Universal Air springs are used on all 4 corners, single convoluted in front and double convoluted in back. I created my own triangulated 4 link rear suspension in back with the springs mounted on the lower arms which gives me about 10 inches of travel. With it's 125" wheelbase and the air ride it's one smooth riding vehicle. The body is made from 18 ga. satin coat steel, I went through 8 - 4x10 foot sheets! The cab is built on a framework of 1"x2", 1"x1", 3/4"x3/4" steel tube with the sheet metal welded to it. The roof is all steel too with a plastic tack strip built into the edge to attach the Haartz cloth top - I just like the soft top look but not the wood and chicken wire like the old cars had. The rolled edges on the box, tailgate and running boards are
1 1/2" tubing with the sheet metal welded to it. My home made bead roller was used to create the Von Dutch style flying eyeball on the tailgate. Fenders were the biggest challenge, starting with a 1/4" steel rod to make the edge, making a buck to hold the large flat pieces in position, then filling in the compound curved parts piece by piece. These were made the hard way, whacked out with a plastic mallet on a leather sandbag and smoothed with a planishing hammer. A slow process, it took a week to make one front fender and another week an a half to make the other, the problem being that it must be just like the first one only a mirror image!!! On top of that, I reshaped the front corners twice more to get the look I was after. the grille shell also went through three revisions to get it right. Sometimes the picture in my head is hard to put into metal...
The grille, side trim,front window trim, running board trim and front bumper are all made from stainless bar stock, I still have to finish the rear bumper. It is very tough to work with but it will never rust or peel and I didn't take one part to the chrome platers! Dollars were saved - hours of labour were insane...
The body is painted with PPG urethane, 2006 Ford dark cherry.
Inside I used seats from a Nissan, seat belts and visors from a Chrysler, all cheapo scoops from a local boneyard, recovered to match. Upholstery is done in Ultraleather and Endura cloth, a very tough long lasting material that's not too coarse.Wipers are from the Ford donor truck, mounted in the cowl,and even the windshield squirters too. Vintage Air heat/defrost, Classic guages Grant stainless banjo wheel, power windows, Sony CD. Since storage is a problem in old style trucks, I built a sub-dash with a glove box plus a custom console with a storage compartment and cup holders.
After about 1800 hours of work, I just got it on the road July 7 06 and it feels good! I've been asked "why didn't you just fix up an old truck instead of making one from scratch (are you nuts?)" My response is that it's actually easier working with brand new steel than fixing up 70-plus year old rusty bent stuff, and I'm not making a replica, it just needs to look like an old truck, while being longer and wider by quite a bit compared to a Model A or '32. Hope you like it, I will post some more construction shots later.
And what's a Hennway?....Oh, never mind.
Pretty frickin' nice. You're a panel beater on the insane side. Looking forward to seeing some construction shots.
Welcome aboard...you are a true artist! Great Job!
What a truck!!!!! Welcome to the site ccrodder. I am familiar with cboy's truck and the inspiration you gave him for building his own roadster. Your truck is great. Shows what a lot of work, determination, creativity and ability can do! I too am looking forward to the build pics. Are you going to the super run? Good to have you on the site and have a great summer cruising.

What a pleasant surprise to see you posting on HR.Com. It scared the crap out of me for a minute when I first saw it...I though some jerk was stealing your pictures and coming on HR.Com claiming to have built YOUR new truck.
For any of you readers who have visited my journal or read my posts singing Charlie's praises - well now you will know why. Charlie (ccrodder) is THE MAN when it comes to scratch built bodies and complete hot rod builds. He built my '32 pickup and his work gave me the courage and inspiration to tackle the "rat roadster" project which is also shown in my journal. I can't say enough about how fortunate HR.Com is to have Charlie posting here in person now and sharing many of his techniques and "trade secrets". He has already started a journal which ought to catch the attention of ANYONE with the remotest desire to one day construct a scratch built body.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

UK songstress Charlotte OC is a rapid up-and-comer on the electro-pop scene. The newly released video for her brooding, oceanic single Strange surely solidifies her reputation as an artist to watch in 2014. The cinematic video, which focuses heavily on Charlotte herself, only works to emphasize the swelling emotional impact of a song that is already a veritable anthem.
Produced by Tim Anderson (who has previously worked with the likes of Solange and Sia), Strange is the title track from Charlotte OC's newest EP, due out September 22nd via Polydor.

International Applicants
In response to our supplemental question, "Why Tufts?" one of last year's applicants began, "I can hear the roar: the call to become a global citizen, charged with a moral responsibility beyond self-preservation."
We could not have said it better ourselves.
At Tufts, globalism is not just a theme discussed in classrooms; it is a way of life. International students make up 15% of our undergraduate population and represent over 60 different nations. Almost half of our undergraduates study abroad during their junior year (turns out the travel bug is contagious). Tufts students choose from over 200 study abroad program options, and they return with compelling stories to tell, not to mention a new language in which to tell them. Even here on the Hill, our extracurricular environment exudes globalism; just ask our Cape Verdean Student Association, the Bhangra dance team, or the Jumbos in Engineers Without Borders. If you haven't heard the roar yet, check out the map below to gain a sense of the scope of our student body, clubs, and academic programs.

Speaking on a conference call Friday, Jason Varitek clarified his newly appointed position as a special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington, while also touching on any future aspirations.
Regarding the possibility of Varitek managing one day, the former catcher said, "If I answered it either way right now, I wouldn't be giving myself the best opportunity. I'm not in a position to make that a 'yes' or a 'no' at this point."
Varitek, who is with the rest of the front office in Fort Myers for organizational meetings, explained that his current role has a "huge gray area" and that he is simply going to "learn as much as I can."
"I'm going to be involved in a lot of different areas to learn a lot different things -- everything from meetings to player development to things along those lines," he added.
Varitek said he plans on participating some in catching instruction, starting with minor leaguers, although "that's a little further ahead."
He noted that the decision to return to baseball in some capacity only came after he settled into life after retirement.
"When I got the foundation of my family set up, having another child, getting to spend more time with my older children," Varitek said. "This is just something we worked on and it just happened to fall later at the end of the summer."
As for missing the game throughout the 2012 season, he said, "That's literally a double-edged sword. It was the first Fourth of July I didn't play a game. My kids let me know that. I came to rest with it immediately, but did I miss it? Absolutely. I came to rest with it pretty easy right away."

One of Northland's largest tracts of native forest will soon echo to the haunting call of the kokako.
Three of the endangered birds were released in Puketi Forest, which straddles the hills between the Bay of Islands and the Hokianga, on Friday and should be followed by seven more in coming weeks.
The release is a major milestone in the efforts of the Puketi Forest Trust, which is working to restore the forest and re-introduce locally extinct birds. Since 2003 the volunteers have been trapping pests in 5500ha of the 15,000ha forest.
The first species to be re-introduced, and now breeding successfully, was the toutouwai (North Island robin) in 2009.
Unlike the toutouwai, which vanished from Puketi a century ago, the loss of the kokako was recent and dramatic.
From a population of 120 in 1986 the population plummeted to just seven males in 2003, one of the sharpest declines ever seen in a native species.
Trustee Gary Bramley, of Kaeo, said the first three birds were caught at Mataraua Forest, near Waipoua, at 6.30am on Friday and taken by helicopter to Puketi Forest, where they were released at 11am. A team of eight experts remain at Mataraua hoping to catch five pairs in total.
''It's a big milestone for the project. It's been a long time coming,'' Mr Bramley said.
Mataraua is home to the only viable population of kokako left in Northland; a census in 2010 showed numbers were high enough to allow a transfer to Puketi. The trust has permission to move 10 birds this year and 10 more in 2013.
Mr Bramley said the trust was trying to transfer pairs in the hope they would stay together and breed. The birds had been fitted with radio transmitters so they could be tracked.
Recorded kokako calls were being played to persuade the birds to stay in the core pest-trapping area. If the birds moved the volunteers would have to follow them by expanding the trapping area. Rats and possums are their main threat.
The kokako project is led by the Trust with help from the Department of Conservation, Te Roroa of Waipoua, and Piki Te Aroha Marae.
The kokako has grey feathers, a black mask around its eyes and bright blue wattles below its beak. About 1400 survive in the North Island; a South Island subspecies is thought to be extinct.
The number clinging on at Puketi before the release is not known but could be as low as two. Two Puketi kokako are being bred at Hamilton zoo and two more are on pest-free Lady Alice Island in Bream Bay. They will also be brought home to Puketi.

st: Reconciling xtabond2 and DPD98
Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:56:36 -0700 (PDT)
I have been doing a systems GMM replication of a paper using the GAUSS program DPD98. I specified the same model in Stata (with identical lag lengths for the instruments), but get entirely different results for the coefficient estimates. Is anyone familiar with why these routines would give different estimates? I have already experimented with the "robust" option and alternative specifications of the "h()" matrix but these do not bring me any closer to the DPD98 results. If you know the answer directly of some paper that discusses this issue, please let me know.

The global recession has strongly impacted the software development industry, including companies that develop software to support their traditional services. Anyone speaking to a development executive can feel these effects. The outcry is universal: "How can I do more with the same resources?" The need to be innovative, competitive, and cost effective has never been stronger than it is today. If necessity is the mother of invention, then current world economy is the mother of necessity. Nearly every CIO or VP of R&D that I speak with is struggling to improve their time to market while increase the number of features delivered within stagnant or shrinking budgets. Two common objectives of software development teams address this need:
- Improve predictability
- Optimize productivity
Perhaps a third common objective should be to increase innovation. While I will not address innovation directly in this article, there is an indirect relationship between predictability, productivity, and innovation. The more productive and predictable the team, the more capacity and latitude it has to put into innovative development.
Being able to accurately estimate software deliverables in terms of schedule, scope, and quality is a prized objective for software development teams and management. Any company that relies on software to help drive revenue, either directly or indirectly, needs to be able to trust the estimation capability of its software development group. Business leaders directly correlate revenue projections to software features, so delivering on time with committed scope and quality will provide better budget projections to the company and its stakeholders. I've been involved with large software development companies whose business departments do not trust the development organizations, and it was not pretty. There is a lot of contention, blame, and general dysfunction in organizations like this.
Once your business stakeholders can count on your commitments, they will think that you are not doing enough (how could you if you are delivering on time?), and they will quickly focus on getting even more functionality to the end-users. Not only is this a significant challenge for most organizations, but available methods for improving predictability and productivity features over time not readily available to most technology leaders. I like to use the word "effectiveness" to describe both predictability and productivity. The more productive and predictable a team is, the more effective they are. Effective development organizations can accurately predict their delivery in time, scope, and total quality while continuously finding ways to improve their productivity.
This article is designed to provide specific steps for understanding your development effectiveness. Getting this right will help move your software development group toward being a true business partner, if it is not already.
Define Your Business Objectives
The first step to being effective is to define what it means to be effective from a business perspective. Sitting with your business leaders and gaining a deep knowledge of their objectives is critical to meeting their expectations. It has been my experience that the better a development organization understands "why" it is developing a product, the more likely it can effectively deliver the "how." Being specific with your business leaders is important to effectively communicate the product vision.
The Pressure is On
In today's economic climate, many companies focus on reducing cost—or at least understanding the cost of delivering features to clients—so that a general ROI analysis can be done. The best measure of ROI is, of course, a bottom line dollar return for every dollar invested, however this is not always practical in the software world. Improving current customer satisfaction may be an objective for other firms. If this is the

->''"When they realized they were in the desert, they built a religion to worship thirstiness."''
-->-- ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal''
Sour Grapes Tropes are tropes that exist to convince the viewer that not only is it unlikely that their dreams and fantasies will come true, but it's probably better if they ''don't''. This is done by showing how a character is made miserable when getting their wishes fulfilled.
Stories that don't do this are WishFulfillment fantasies. NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat. Fiction has been providing wish fulfillment for centuries. Contemporary fiction, though, often comes off as somehow ''obliged'' to show the downside of a desire. Not doing so might be seen as "juvenile." Ironically, SourGrapesTropes tend to [[NotSoDifferent indulge in their own backhanded brand of]] WishFulfillment; these tropes are often used to assuage [[TallPoppySyndrome an audience's discomfort]] and [[GreenEyedMonster envy]] at seeing a more ambitious or intelligent or lucky character at succeeding in a way that the viewers can't by showing the 'bad' side of their success. See [[Creator/FriedrichNietzsche Nietzsche's remarks on ''slave morality'']] for the intellectual impulse behind many of the usages of these tropes.
These tropes can also be used to make a FamilyUnfriendlyAesop if one of the things the Sour Grapes trope is grousing about is something the viewer can genuinely attain. It can encourage them to stay in their bad situation rather than [[DareToBeBadass doing something about it]].
Note that the original fable "The Fox and the Grapes" is not about disparaging a thing you can't get. The fox was disgusted with himself for wasting time and effort trying to reach a bunch of grapes that were sour, meaning unripe.

Well the 1st dlc called "Bug Hunt" is suppost to be out this tuesday (19th), people who pre-ordered the game from walmart got a code to download bug hunt early which was usable on friday, so far reviews of it have been mixed and not as fun as other games horde modes, Ai has apparently improved though. There are videos of it on youtube.
No idea about future dlc... or even if there will be any now, after how bad the game has become. They arent even giving out shift codes, but they seem to put Borderland 2 ones on everyday, Now with a new game out you would expect more than 1 shift code to be released!?! I do enjoy this game as I am an aliens fan but I can really see this game being forgotten about.

I don't have a garage but bought the car just looking for the different options to protect the paint
Printable View
I don't have a garage but bought the car just looking for the different options to protect the paint
passive protection: see the detailing section here....10's of waxes, sealants and coatings that will protect your car...
active protection: car cover
Ive heard some bad things about the car cover like it causes more damage then it protects cause of it being driven and not washed everyday dirt gets on the car and scratches the paint when being put on, is that correct?
Thanks for this advice so based on that article I should go with tyvek cover since this will be my daily driver so it won't stay covered for long periods of time
You won't need a cover.
If you don't have a garage, don't worry.... a C7 Stingray sitting outside will probably be stolen within the first few nights!:eek:
Just messin' with ya! :rolleyes: Enjoy!
Lol don't jinx him
lol people dont steal cars :P
Yea I was just concerned since it already has those fine scratches that you can hardly see in direct sunlight so i thought a car cover would fix that but looks like I need some paint coating and then a clear coat added to it
About stolen Corvettes. They rank very low in percentage due to the uniqueness of the vehicle. Resale is not an option. Only lower tier states (such as az) have a problem with shipments "borrowed" to go to Mexico.
don't panic there way no. with which you can protect your car like my friend "Glen e" suggested to use waxes, sealants and coatings or you use a car cover when your car is not in use,, then try keep your car in shades like under the tree this would also do,,
I hope my suggestion would definitely help you. :D
Anyone ever use one of these? CarCapsule - The Original Car Bubble
They make one you can drive in.
Ya i will be following these suggestions, I just have those scratches that you only see in direct sunlight at an angle right now. just wondering how to get rid of them

Short Story by: sam coinbear
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
"This is the news at 10. Last night, in down town Compton another example of the gang warfare that plagues the city took place," I pause, whilst feeding Grace, and look at the screen. "The "drive by" attack took place outside a convenience mart killed five members of the infamous gang "the crips" and was presumably carried out by their rivals, the equally notorious bloods. Additionally an innocent bystander named Larry Weinstein was tragically caught in the cross-fire…" It is more than the heart could take- this place. I look back to my eight month year old daughter and wander how I can inflict this on her. I have, so far, got away with Brianna, now 14, but she has started to stay out, skip class and maybe more. What would it be- crack, gang warfare or prostitution? I trust my daughter but it is only a matter of time. "…Police say the situation in Southern Los Angeles is severe but under control, the rumours of an attack of massive proportion are unfounded and we continue to do the best we can to control the danger of gang warfare." I walk into the hall way of our run-down, main town apartment, I can hear music blaring from Brianna's room, and continue to my little room, where the babies crib is. I put Grace to sleep and I tell Brianna to turn down the music, she smiles and complies. That's my girl. I say a prayer and then lye on my bed.
I am so worried, but still tired enough to fall asleep easily.
I am dreaming that the streets are on fire and people are screaming. A voice tells me to leave, it says "you are good and true, this city will burn, along with others, for their wickedness, but you are pure and shall receive mercy, leave this walking hell, it will stain the love of the true and scold their spawn"
I awake to the baby screaming. What had I been dreaming? The baby needs changing. I take her into the other room, I can tell Brianna was asleep when I pass her door, I lay Grace on the living room table and change her. Was it something to do with a fire? Why can I smell burning? I check the kitchen and all the rooms. Nothing. Still I can clearly smell it. Is it getting stronger? I check outside- Nothing. We go back to bed.
I am dreaming. This time my children are amongst the flames and burn grotesquely "We will lead the way" the voice says, "today we will come to you and save you from the danger that will befall you and the ones you love. We know you will trust us because you have empathy and you are good." I watch in horror as the world around me dies.
It is daylight. From my half slumber I can hear Brianna telling me she is not going to school today. I am too asleep to answer. I get up and see the baby is awake and wriggling, she looks out at me, pensively.
I start my computer and I check my web site, which is the sole office of my small clothing business that gives us all the little money we have. I am thinking of the gangs and all the hate in this place, this world. It is sick. Too sick to be contained, how does one thwart it? No emails. No interest. Nothing. I need some sales. I spend the morning working and filing, feeding and changing.
A bang at the door. Someone is shouting and Brianna runs into the room. Four men follow her in and one has a gun. He shouts for me to give him money, says my daughter owes him big and if he does not get his money, he will take them both. I tell him I have nothing and I shield my daughters. "All I want is for them to be ok, I would give them to you if I thought they would be ok," Why did I say that? I am hysterical. " I can give you nothing but the promise that I love my daughter and I will give you all you need, just not now" These words fall on deaf and evil ears and the thugs begin to close in.
Another bang at the door two policemen run into the room. The thugs are making towards the door and shouting obscenities. They escape. I hold my girls and mutter a prayer of thanks.
I am still shocked and scared. I look into the face of one of our saviours, and feel calmer because of it. One is male and one female. Both are extraordinarily attractive and fair- "I- I- I…"
"We know. Come." How do I know that voice? Something about a dream? I follow them and my daughters follow me. We are somewhere else. We must have got in a car, but I cannot remember the journey. "Follow us, Charlotte." Says the voice behind the warming smile. I follow.
All of a sudden we are alone again, it is dark outside and we are in a hotel room. My girls are sleeping.
I know a city is gone.

This one is dedicated to many of my friends!
News: I got interviewed in Interview magazine, kind of about the book, but more about my feelings about different matters. My book is also said to be a "punky, poetic rush of a book" as well as "sexy, lucid, and quirky," and it's asserted that "Thornton nails loss, loneliness, and creepy cult mentalities. " It is a weird feeling to have an interview about you out there. When I was I think seventeen, I got a perfect score on the ACT assessment test, one of like nine kids in the nation (or in Texas; I don't remember) to do so, and a reporter came to our house and did an interview that appeared in the local paper. It was a similarly weird experience where you read a story about someone you don't altogether recognize to be yourself–like I'm sure I said the puppets thing but it sounds so Byronic and harsh and evil and I don't really feel that judgmental about my like CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. I remember at the time I felt like this was a process that was happening, that people were falling away from some kind of "great purity" which was the same thing depicted in this comic: wasting a lot of time making stuff that is cool but not useful. Now I can recognize this less as "becoming puppets" and more as like, having different interests. But we all become MORE PURE, MORE ELEMENTAL in the media!
(Memorably re: the earlier story, a friend of mine said that the newspaper photographer made my room look "a lot cooler" than it really was)
There should be a new comic on Thursday for everyone

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Most shelters work very hard to get their animals adopted. Serving as animal control facilities, they just get so many in- it's easy for dogs to get lost in a sea of furry faces to the public who goes in looking for a pet and some great dogs are overlooked. We step in and pull these dogs into our foster based rescue group and bring them to our home(s) where we can get to know a bit about their personality. We have a sense of what the dog is like and can concentrate more time on getting each dog into a caring home.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Iran - Country profile
|High to extreme persecution
|Situation worsened
State oppression of Christians and other minorities in Iran has intensified markedly, especially arrests, torture, false imprisonment and executions, with a corresponding increase in raids on churches and confiscation of Bibles.
The consensus among leading human rights observers is that the state has mounted a crackdown on religious activity which is not in accordance with the official practice of Shia Islam, as upheld by the ruling elite led by Ayatollah Ali Khomenei.
The trigger prompting this renewed clampdown on religious liberty is widely seen to be government reaction to the June 2009 presidential elections, which sparked widespread popular unrest that was perceived as a challenge to the state's authority. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom stated that since the June 2009 elections, "religious freedom conditions have regressed to a point not seen since the early days of the Islamic Revolution" of 1979.
Law affords religious minorities little protection
Christians, Bahais, Jews and others are susceptible to mistreatment and worse because they have little or no protection in law. Although Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians are recognised by the state, in practice their situation is precarious. Catholics, however, encounter fewer difficulties than certain evangelical groups, as was discovered during an autumn 2012 Aid to the Church in Need trip to Iran, the first of its kind to the country.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide noted that in the past year "there has been an alarming rise in detentions of members of evangelical house churches", and reported the faithful suffering verbal and sometimes physical abuse. Others, the report said, experienced repeated interrogations, sleep deprivation, solitary confinement and "pressure to inform on others and abandon their faith".
Threat of proselytism charges
Hanging over Christians of all descriptions is the threat of being charged with proselytism, a crime punishable by execution. The same sentence applies to apostates from Islam.
An apostasy charge was placed against Pastor Youcef Nadarkani in a case that has attracted unprecedented international attention, particularly after he was found guilty in September 2010. Following an international outcry, the charge against him was altered and, after nearly three years in prison, he was released in January 2013.
What his case demonstrated was the perils of witnessing to Christianity in Iran. All public expressions of non-Islamic faith are strictly banned, meaning for example that the publication of religious material is severely restricted. Printing firms have been forcibly closed for publishing Bibles and other non-Islamic faith literature.
Discrimination in public life
Similarly, Christians and other religious minority groups are banned from senior government or military posts. None are allowed to serve in the judiciary, security services or as principals of public schools. Applicants for public sector employment are screened for their knowledge of and adherence to Islam. Of the 290 seats reserved in the Majles (the Iranian Parliament), non-Muslims only have five seats – three for Christians, one Jewish and one Zoroastrian.
Against such a backdrop, Christians have little or no defence against a growing culture of state oppression. Reports state that at least 300 Christians have been arbitrarily arrested and detained across the country. Former President Ahmadinejad is quoted as having "called for an end to the development of Christianity in Iran".
Hopes and fears under new president
Hopes of a change under new President Hassan Rowhani, elected in June 2013, centred on his much-publicised "moderate" stance. However, his apparent commitment to reform has been called into question by Iranian observers, highlighting his hard-line religious background. They have also noted the pre-eminence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomenei in most areas of public policy.
Observers note that the new president will be further constrained by ongoing state concerns about the growth of Christianity in Iran. Some unconfirmed reports suggest the country could be home to more than 300,000 Christians. Amid growing conflict between the main branches of Islam across the Middle East, Iran is unlikely to react positively to any suggestion that Christianity is on the rise at the centre of the Shia world.
Persecution of Christians in Iran
May 2011: The Revolutionary Court in the northern city of Bandar Anzali tried 11 members of the Church of Iran, including Pastor Abdolreza Ali-Haghnejad and Zainab Bahremend – the 62-year-old grandmother of two of the other defendants – on charges of "acting against national security."
Source: International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, 4/5/11
May 2011: The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran called for a halt to judicial persecution of Evangelical Church members and appealed for the overturn of criminal sentences for Pastor Behrouz Sadegh-Khanjani and the death sentence for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, saying: "It is deeply hypocritical to criticise European countries for discriminatory policies against Muslims while the Iranian government throws Christians and members of other minority religions into prison and sentences some to death." In April 2011, the Iranian government criticised the EU and US for discrimination against religious minorities, saying: "We expect European countries to guarantee the individual and social freedoms of Muslims."
Source: International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, 4/5/11
July 2011: The Barnabas Fund said that Iranian authorities had been issuing anti-Christian propaganda via state media: "False and insulting stories about Christians have also appeared in government media. One article, published on Youth Online alleged that women evangelists were entering stores, using shopping as a pretext to fall into conversation with staff, and then suggesting sexual liaisons and insulting Islam."
Source: CNS News, 26/8/11
August 2011: 6,500 pocket Bibles being transported between two cities in the north-western province were seized. Parliamentary advisor Majid Abhari stated that Christian missionaries sought to deceive Iranians, particularly young people: "They have begun a huge campaign by spending huge sums and false propaganda for deviating the public. …The important point in this issue – that should be considered by intelligence, judicial and religious agencies – is that all religions are strengthening their power to confront Islam, otherwise what does this huge number of Bibles mean?"

December 2011: Iranian authorities raided an Assemblies of God Church in Ahvaz, south-west Iran, arresting all those in the congregation. The majority were released within days, but Pastor Farhad Sabokroh, and another church member were only released on bail after serving two months in prison. No charges were filed.

February 2012: Christian convert Masoud Delijani was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for "having faith in Christianity", "holding illegal house church gatherings", "evangelising Muslims" and an unspecified action against Iran's national security. Not allowed to defend himself he spent 114 days in custody, mainly in solitary confinement, before being released after his family paid the equivalent of £62,500 in bail. He was detained again two weeks later.
Source: BosNews Life, 29/2/12
February 2012: Retired nurse and sister-in-law of the former Anglican Bishop, 78-year-old Mrs Hakimpour, a Church member of St Luke, Esfahan, was arrested at home in the early hours and only released three days later. The Rev Hekmat Salimi of St Paul's Church was also arrested and his home raided by local government agents. Books, a computer and other personal belongings were confiscated. No reason was given for either arrest.
Source: Farsi Christian News Network, 3/3/12
March 2013: Pastor Youcef Nadarkhan was arrested in 2009 for questioning the 'unconstitutional' Muslim monopoly of religious education of young people. The court ruled that he had abandoned his Islamic faith and in 2010 he was found guilty of apostasy and unlawfully sentenced to death. The Supreme Court ordered a retrial and he was offered annulment if he converted to Islam. He refused. His case was referred to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei and the charges were altered – effectively charging him with crimes against national security. In September 2012 he was acquitted of apostasy but found guilty of proselytising Muslims. However, as he had already served his prison term, he was set free. He was re-arrested on Christmas Day but released in early January.
April 2013: Following sentencing for charges related to his religious beliefs, Pastor Saeed Abedini, who holds Iranian and US nationality, was told by officials at Evin Prison:" 'Deny your faith in Jesus Christ and return to Islam or else you will not be released from prison. We will make sure you are kept here even after your eight-year sentence is finished.' The pastor has suffered from internal bleeding as a result of beatings and torture.
Source: Christian Today, 15/4/13; Jordan Sekulow and Matthew Clark, "Pastor Saeed Abedini's Holy Week struggle", Washington Post, 26/03/13
June 2013: Christian commentators reacted positively to media comments from Presidential candidate Hassan Rohani pledging to uphold civil liberties, stating that he was committed to "upholding justice across the country and civil rights" and that "What I wish for is for moderation to return to the country. This is my only wish. Extremism pains me greatly. We have seen many blows as a result of extremism."

Circle of Life
The members of the Phamaly Theatre Company, which showcases talented actors with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities, form a tight crew. Some of them, like Kathleen Traylor, have been with the nonprofit troupe since its inception 24 years ago, and when their new production of Fiddler on the Roof opens tonight in the Space Theatre, it will be Traylor's second whirl through the beloved Broadway musical with Phamaly, this time as Golde; she previously played Yente, in a 1994 version. And she's not the only returnee: Mark Dissette will again play the meaty lead role of Tevye, and Lucy Roucis, Donna Gunnison and Greg Stanley will all return to Fiddler nearly twenty years later.
Director Steve Wilson thinks the classic story of Jewish tradition and the forces that pull it apart speaks to audiences and Phamaly's actors alike in universally inspirational ways: "It touches on the collective truth that everyone will ultimately leave the comfort of 'home' and venture off into the sometimes forbidding and unpredictable world," he says. "These transitions can be particularly challenging for those with disabilities and their loved ones and caretakers."
Fiddler on the Roof takes that everyman journey beginning with a preview performance at 8 p.m. at the Space, in the Denver Performing Arts Complex; the show continues through August 11. Buy tickets, $17 to $34, online at phamaly.org or call 303-893-4100.
