One To Know
The Innovator
The year 2000 was an auspicious time for David Martin and his father Pedro to co-found Terra Group. The 9/11 attacks a year later are still something that the younger Martin brings up when he describes his projects; he speaks of a "cleansing mentality" that happened as a result of that horrible day, and when he talks of development, he does so in a personal way, as a humanist. When he says that people don't want to have more, but, rather, want to be more, he comes ready with examples.
Case in point: the Grove at Grand Bay, slated for completion in the first quarter of 2015. From a team that includes starchitect Bjarke Ingels and landscape visionary Raymond Jungles, Martin speaks of the project as "a home in the sky" that represents commitment rather than transience. "Coconut Grove is the best neighborhood in South Florida, with the best schools, the best parks, and an active intellectual and creative community," he says. "This is a user market. People move here and live here for a long period of time." Instead of creating hundreds of units on the 3-acre lot, Terra is keeping the project low-density, with 12-and-a-half-foot ceilings, 12-foot-deep balconies and two 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot residences per floor.
The hotly anticipated GLASS, going up in South Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood, is another example of low-density living, with only 10 floors and one unit per floor. As the first residential building designed by architect Rene Gonzalez, it is also the last tower that will be erected in SoFi, due to zoning restrictions. Buyers at GLASS have the option to work directly with Gonzalez on their residences-"The other developers thought I was crazy, but that's what you can do in a low-density project," says Martin. And even though he doesn't anticipate that these owners will spend the whole year in GLASS, he circles back to the community aspect: "There are very few parts of Miami Beach where you feel like you can live in a neighborhood, but you can in South of Fifth."
"You can't speak about Miami generally," Martin adds. "You have to speak about each individual neighborhood." And, to hear him tell it, every corner of the city is primed to offer new residents an ever-richer lifestyle. "Miami is the city of the future, and one reason I'm so bullish about the Miami of tomorrow is that we're underserved from a retail standpoint, which is amazing," he adds. "New entertainment and shopping experiences are now going to be created that will enhance the reasons why you want to live in this city."
The Reformer
Back when he was a postgrad, Buenos Aires-born, Cordobaeducated Edgardo Defortuna was supposed to be in Miami for three months to perfect his English. "They're still waiting for me to come back," he says. Instead of returning to Argentina, Defortuna has built one of South Florida's most important developments and real estate empires: Fortune International Realty. Widely credited with leading the gentrification of Midtown, Fortune also put its inimitable stamp on Sunny Isles Beach with its Jade towers, and now Defortuna is placing his bets on Downtown, with NINE at Mary Brickell Village.
"Downtown has been in middle of a transformation for the last four years and it's attracting a young crowd," he explains. "NINE at Mary Brickell Village, in less than four months, is more than 50 percent sold. And we're marketing a new project for Related called Brickell Heights that will have an unbelievable Equinox facility. Brickell is finally becoming the 'Manhattan of the South' that The Miami Herald said was coming 20 years ago."
For Jade Signature, certainly Fortune's most high-profile project, the firm has collaborated with a peerless team: architects Herzog and de Meuron, interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon and landscape designer Raymond Jungles. One coup in particular, the hiring of Rochon-the hotel designer responsible for the iconic Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris-was meant to send a signal: that the tower would draw from the best of hospitality design. "My wife and I like him very much, so much so that we hired him to do the interiors of our own home," says Defortuna. "To interview designers for Jade Signature we traveled to Milan, New York and all over the world, but we thought, 'Why not give our buyers the same lifestyle that we experience?'"
When asked to describe demographic trends among Miami real estate buyers in such a hot luxury market, Defortuna's response is swift: "In one word: the world. The quality buyer who would vacation in Miami but owns in New York now wants to own in Miami. They all want to own in Miami."

In miami, art and real estate have always gone together. That's why developer eduardo costantini forked over some significant cash for two Jeff koons sculptures that will be unveiled at Oceana Bal Harbour when it opens in 2016. Costantini is a serious collector, having founded the malba, one of buenos aires' foremost museums. Look for pieces from costantini's personal collection in oceana's newly launched sales center.

Starchitect Quality
Few architects enjoy the of-the-moment currency of Zaha Hadid, the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize-and fewer than 100 lucky owners will be able to call Hadid's One Thousand Museum (1000museum. Com) home. The sinuous Biscayne Boulevard tower, with its arresting exoskeleton design, is already one of the most talked-about residential buildings in the world. Herzog & de Meuron, with Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron at the helm, is revered surpassingly. Based in Basel, Switzerland, they designed the stadium for the Beijing Olympics, debuted the Pérez Art Museum Miami during Art Basel, and are leading the creative team behind Jade Signature (jadesignature.com), the spiral-columned residential tower in Sunny Isles Beach. Lionheart Capital snagged Milanese-educated Piero Lissoni, widely known for his inventive furniture showcased at Kartell and others, to transform a former hospital in Lake Surprise into The Residences at Ritz-Carlton (theresidencesmiamibeach. Com). After garnering much attention for international endeavors such as Jerusalem's Mamilla Hotel, Lissoni has chosen the South Florida project to mark his first architectural undertaking in the United States.
Vehicular Pride
Meant to entice buyers who love their vehicles as much as their homes, the Porsche Design Tower (with 132 residences ranging in size from 4,800 to 17,000 square feet and priced from $4.8 million to $32.5 million) offers a slew of amenities, but it's the sky garages that are garnering the most attention. That's because they are located right beside the residences and come with their very own car concierge. It seems the future is here. Porsche-design.com/towermiami/

That's the total square footage, under air mind you, of the uber-unique, ultraluxe Regalia Beach House. (if that feels a little tight, there's also 6,300 square feet of outdoor living space.) The sevenbedroom, nine-and-a-half bath, $25 million residence within the tower sprawls over two stories, and features furnishings by the arthur collection, Flexform, Hudson, christian liaigre, roda, paola lenti and royal botania. Regaliamiami.com
It's All Related
One of the most prolific and active development firms in South Florida, Th e Related Group's portfolio includes some of the most coveted addresses in Miami, but the company is not one to rest on its laurels, recently announcing a diversity of developments all over South Florida. Closest to Miami's urban center is Brickell Heights, the 690-unit condominium tower at 850 S. Miami Ave. That has partnered with the exclusive Equinox Fitness Clubs to deliver a three-story sports facility. "We are bringing Equinox to Brickell because the club is an integral part of our vision for sophisticated urban living," says Related's CEO and founder Jorge Pérez. "Equinox is the perfect amenity partner to our luxury properties." Meanwhile, Related is also partnering with sbe to launch the Hyde Hotels, Resorts & Residences brand, debuting flagships in Midtown Miami and Hollywood Beach. To create the Midtown location's 60 hotel rooms and 410 condo units, Related convened an A-team of talent: the Dezer Group (codevelopers), Arquitectonica (architecture) and David Rockwell (interiors). The Hollywood Beach property, set in a 40-story beachfront tower (40 residences, 367 condo hotel units), enlisted the Hialeah-based architectural firm Cohen, Freedman, Encinosa and Associates.

Realty talk
"The three things that will define the real estate market in 2014 are normalcy, luxury and, most of all, mobility. Developers are paying a premium for starchitects and art collections to make their buildings more appealing because people are moving around in ways that we didn't see three or certainly five years ago." -TODD DYER DAVIS, PRINCIPAL, BROWN DAVIS INTERIORS
Sexy Six
Kevin Maloney goes where the action is. The head of Property Markets Group has developed residential buildings in the most desirable areas of the country. To Maloney, the "why" of Miami is self-evident: the 30 percent appreciation in real estate over the past 12 months. Of PMG's 15 projects in the works nationwide, six are in South Florida, including Echo Brickell, a 150-unit highrise on Biscayne Boulevard that is 90 percent under reservation; 95th On the Ocean, located one block from Bal Harbour Shops and nearing completion; and an as-yet-unnamed building in Sunny Isles Beach. Filling out the half-dozen PMG projects in Miami are Sage Beach, a 24-unit boutique development in Hollywood Beach; Echo Aventura, with architecture by Carlos Ott and design by Yabu Pushelberg, situated on the last waterfront parcel in Aventura; and MEI, a 22-floor tower that's an homage to Asian design located on the last oceanfront site in this area of Miami Beach. As they say, location is everything. Propertymg.com
The Idealist
"I believe as an agent that it is a must to concentrate on a niche market that you can serve with excellence," says Marie-Charlotte Piro, who, with her husband, William Harbour (a former New Yorker), is one of the principals of MC2 Realty. Targeting an underserved, overlooked but growing market-the French-is how Piro has turned her boutique firm into such a burgeoning success.
"I've been in this business for 15 years, but until 2009 and 2010, I was pretty much catering to the South American market," says Piro, who was born and raised near Biarritz. But as the euro became stronger, and as France became less hospitable to wealthy homeowners (more heavily taxed, more frequently audited), she began to see a stronger French buyer, "not unlike the Venezuelan buyer seven years ago." A whole class of affluent French tax exiles were expressing a desire to settle in the United States. Until last year, Piro's sales focused on second homes and investment properties; now she is working with a highly creative, entrepreneurial class who wants to live in Miami full time. "In America, people delight in success," she says, "but in France it's very different." The wave of emigration was such that Piro founded Fédération des Professionnels de L'Immobilier de Miami, a nonprofit that pairs French-speaking realtors in South Florida with French-speaking buyers from around the world. Piro says that understanding French culture as much as speaking the language has enabled her to "form long-term trust relationships."
But if her market is international, her commitment is local. "We are also very involved in the improvement and promotion of the Morningside historic district," Piro says, noting that she lives in Morningside. "I am an active board member of the Morningside Civic Association and chair of the security committee as well as a frequent contributor to the Morningside-Life Facebook page." Piro has embarked on a range of other community-enhancing initiatives. "I think that all top real estate producers should make it a point to give back to their farming areas, support new infrastructures, help the disadvantaged and support local education," she adds. "At MC2 Realty, we donate a part of our local commissions to support the Miami Children Hospital's Outpatient Center."
Piro's interest in cross-pollination even reaches into the animal kingdom: "I am also getting involved in a wonderful new project called Bees and Butterflies," she says, "where we are planning to use the rooftops of some Brickell and Downtown mid-rises as urban pollination gardens to allow bees and butterflies to migrate from the south to the north part of Miami and keep on pollinating our flowers and fruit trees."

It's been a while since Apple has made a real splash in the news, but the Wall Street Journal broke news last week with rumors that the company responsible for the creation of the iPhone has a team of employees working on a design for an electric car.
What we know so far is that the project has been given a code name, Titan, and that the design of the car will be similar to a minivan. Apple has assembled a team of about 100 employees to begin development on the car. There's no certainty that a car will be the end result as the project is in it's infant stages, but executives for the Cuptertino, California based company have reportedly visited Austria to meet with automotive manufacturers.
It may seem like a stretch to think that Apple could somehow pull off the creation and development of an electric car, but their world wide distribution of their current line of products proves their chain of supply and knowledge of technology are more than adequate. Apple is continually researching technology related to batteries for use in their Macs, iPads and iPhones and in the upcoming Apple Watch. They have developed their own mapping system for use in a dashboard navigation system and have their own software, CarPlay, that current automakers use that allows drivers to integrate their personal devices with their car's dashboard interface.
Apple has been toying with the idea of an electric car for some time and with Google developing their own self-driving car and Tesla already producing a line of electric cars, it's a simple connection to make.
"From a design philosophy, [Apple] is relatively closely aligned," said Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO and co-founder. Musk has also hinted that Apple has been attempting to lure Tesla employees with large signing bonuses and salary increases.
The jump from mobile and electronic devices to electric car wouldn't be without its challenges and would mean a big change for the company, which they are clearly open to making, as their recent solar announcement confirms. Apple is building a massive solar complex in California that will fully power their operations in that state. If there's one thing Apple has, it's billions of dollars to play with and the willingness to stick with an idea until it works.

MPhil & PhD in Art
- Length
3-4 years full-time or 6-8 years part-time
- Department
- Funding available
Course overview
Our research programmes are designed for artists seeking to pursue research through creative practice and, in so doing, to contribute to the wider cultural context through original critical work.
In all Art research subjects, whether you specialise as an artist, a curator or a writer, you may either register for practice-based research or register to undertake research leading to a thesis submitted in accordance with the normal provisions of the University.
At research level the Department of Art's aim is to support the development of original arts research in the form of artworks, curatorial production and writing. As an artist registered for either practice-based research or by written thesis only, you will work participate in our rich critical research environment.
You will normally work with two supervisors, one of whom may be outside of the discipline of Art. You will meet regularly with your supervisory team to discuss the development of your research project. You will also have the opportunity to organise and participate in training workshops, seminars, screenings, displays and research symposia.
We consider all elements of the PhD – the written element and the artistic or curatorial production for practice-based research – to be sites of rigorous formal experimentation. Throughout your period of study you will be expected to articulate the shape and form of your research and the relation between its elements and to discuss them in research for a on a regular basis.
Find out more about research degrees at Goldsmiths.
You will apply with a well-developed idea for and individual research project that you have begun to plan artistically as well as to contextualise with reference to contemporary and historical examples of artworks, exhibitions, designs, social, political and philosophical ideas, etc.
See the section 'How to Apply' below for full details about our applications process, including key dates and deadlines.
International students
If you are an international student and would like to study a 'tailor-made' programme (for up to a year), you may be interested in applying as a Guest Research Student.
Contact the department
If you have specific questions about the degree, contact the Research Admissions Tutor, Professor Michael Newman
If you are registered for a practice-based research project, you are expected to produce a series of artworks and/or documentation of a series of exhibitions or events developed whilst on the programme as well as a dissertation of 20,000 words (MPhil) or 40,000 words (PhD). If you are registered according to the normal provisions of the University your final text has a target of 40,000 words for an MPhil and 80,000 words for a PhD. All research students are registered first for an MPhil then may either transfer registration to PhD following the successful completion of an upgrade exam or finish their study at this stage by submitting their research for an MPhil exam.
We provide full-time practice-based research students with studio or office accommodation as appropriate for the first three years of study; we expect part-time students to have their own studio or office as appropriate, which is subject to the same conditions as for part-time MFA in Fine Art students.
Assessment is by either:
- Thesis, including practice; viva voce
- Thesis and viva voce
We have a world-leading reputation that brings together
students and researchers from all over the globe
We specialise in making, curating and writing about contemporary art in a dynamic, critical and interdisciplinary environment.
And we work with a network of artists, curators, galleries and museums in both London and internationally to create an inspiring and dynamic place in which to study and develop an artistic practice.
Our alumni go on to do great things. Many of them are among the most recognised names working in art today, and since 1990 they've been nominated for the Turner Prize more than 30 times, winning the prize on seven occasions.
Find out more about the Department of Art.
Core team
We have a dedicated team of staff who work on the PhD Programme, including:
- Professor Kristen Kreider, Programme Leader
- Professor Michael Newman, Research Admissions Tutor
- Dr. John Chilver
- Dr. Edgar Schmitz
All members of Staff in the Department of Art are available to supervise PhD's. Please see our Departmental Staff Page for more information about individual staff and their research interests. You may also seek second supervision in other Departments at Goldsmiths.
You will be asked to add names of potential supervisors to your application form. You may also send through your research proposal to any potential supervisors in the first instance to gauge interest in the project. However, please do not expect any specific feedback on your proposal in this early stage (see the section on 'Look for Potential Supervisors' in the tab for 'How to Apply' below). If shortlisted, we will also suggest possible supervisors.
Skills & careers
Our art programmes aim to equip you with the necessary skills to develop independent thought and confidence in your practice. In addition, these skills are of use in other career paths you may wish to follow.
Our students have been successful in many fields including media, museums, galleries, education, the music business and academia. Many have continued to be successful, practising artists long after graduating, and have won major prizes and exhibited around the world.
Entry requirements
You should normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in a relevant subject area.
You might also be considered for some programmes if you aren't a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.
Equivalent qualifications
We accept a wide range of international qualifications. Find out more about the qualifications we accept from around the world.
English language requirements
If English isn't your first language, you'll need to meet our English language requirements to study with us.
For this programme we require:
IELTS 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0
If you need assistance with your English language, we offer a range of courses that can help prepare you for postgraduate-level study.
How to apply
Before you apply
Good applications take time, and there is lot of work to be done before you submit a formal application. You should bear this mind if you are thinking of applying, ensuring that you allow yourself enough time to craft a solid and considered application.
Here is what to do before you apply:
Consider the Research Environment
When thinking about doing a PhD, it is important to consider carefully the research environment where you place yourself. The Art Department supports a broad range of research-intensive Fine Art, Curating and Art-Writing practices. The Department itself is part of an important and vibrant research university.
We encourage you to explore the web pages for the Department of Art and for Goldsmiths College. If you are able, we invite you to come visit the campus in order to see what we have to offer. It is important to determine early on whether you think Goldsmiths will be the best research environment for your project and to consider what it is that you, in turn, can contribute to this environment.
As you explore the Department, specifically, and Goldsmiths, more broadly, we encourage you to consider whether your research project would benefit from support across disciplines. Many of our Researchers have their Primary Supervisor in the Department of Art and a Secondary Supervisor in another Department. (Please see the section 'Look for Potential Supervisors' below.)
Write a Research Proposal
You will need to complete a research proposal at the earliest possible stage, and before you begin the official applications process.
It is important to note here, for those whose research involves practice, that the MPhil/PhD is not an extension of the MFA. The MFA in Art is a professional degree geared specifically at the development of your art practice. Distinct from this, the MPhil/PhD in Art Research is a 3-4 year (full-time) or 6-8 year (part-time) research project, the pursuit of which may involve your already-established practice, or require the development new modes of practice specific to the research project.
Your Research Proposal will offer an indication of your research project, method, context and anticipated outcomes. The proposal itself should be no more than 2,500 words and include the following information:
- Title of project
- Project description
- Research aims and objectives
- Research questions
- Anticipated approach or research method (including the relationship between your practice and written component, if applicable)
- Research context
- Rough timescale to completion with anticipated outcomes (e.g. artworks, exhibitions, written works, etc.)
- Explanation of the originality of the project, referring to other work in the field (which may include a short bibliography)
See here for general advice on writing a Research Proposal.
Write a Personal Statement
In addition to your Research Proposal, you will be asked to submit a Personal Statement at the time of your application. The Personal Statement allows us to gauge your ability and commitment to undertaking a long-term research project.
The statement itself should be no more than 1500 words and contain the following information:
- A short biographical statement (100-150 words)
- A description of your background and interests leading up to the PhD
- If your proposal involves practice, a description of your practice and how you understand this to relate to research
- A brief account of your personal investment in this project. Why do you believe that his work needs to be done?
- Evidence of your ability to undertake a long-term research project
- A brief statement about your capacity to undertake a long-term research project and your willingness/ability to contribute fully to the research environment of the Department and beyond
See here for Goldsmiths general advice on writing a Personal Statement.
Look for Potential Supervisors
Before you apply, you should look at our Departmental Staff Page to see if your project can be supported by our range of Supervisors. If your project warrants it, you should also look at Departments across Goldsmiths for any potential second supervisors. Should you eventually decide to go through with the formal application process, you will be asked to indicate any potential supervisors on your application.
During this early stage, it is not expected that you will have much, if any contact with any potential Supervisors. This is because, for the purposes of the applications process, it is important for us to see how you develop a research proposal independently in the first instance, prior to working with someone. Only after you are accepted onto the programme, and particularly if you are shortlisted for external funding (e.g. through the CHASE award system, see also the main web page under 'Fees, Funding and Scholarships'), would you and your Supervisor begin working together to hone and refine your research proposal.
Please note that Supervisors have a limited capacity to take on new research projects, so it may not always be possible to work with your first choice of Supervisor. Please also note that applications decisions in the Department of Art do not rest with potential Supervisors alone; rather, decisions involve a number of different staff members, including potential Supervisors, at various stages of the selection process (see 'Selection Process' below).
Ask Questions
If you have questions about the applications process, or wish to send through your Research Proposal in order to gauge whether it can be supported by the Department, you should get in touch with the Research Admissions Tutor, Professor Michael Newman (email@example.com).
Please note that, as we receive a high number of applications, neither the Research Admissions Tutor nor the Programme Director will advise on potential supervisors or discuss with you the research proposal itself prior to you submitting an application. If your application is shortlisted and you are invited for interview, it will then be possible to discuss possible supervisors for your project.
Formal Applications Process
When you are ready to make your application, there are two steps you will need to take:

Whichever round you apply for, please make sure that you complete both:
- Step 1: Online application
- Step 2: Email to the Department of Art
as per above, and by the stated deadlines.
Selection Process
Successful applications are selected on the basis of application and interview. There are three stages to this selection process:
Stage 1: Applications - Long List
All applications received by the respective application deadlines are placed on a 'long list' for consideration. Here they are evaluated by a Research Applications Panel consisting of the Programme Leader, Research Admissions Tutor, and members of the PhD Staff Team and Postgraduate Research Committee, as available.
At this stage, the overall quality of each application is considered, based on the following criteria:
- Does the research proposal demonstrate a clear and definable research project that can be realised within 3-4 years (full-time) or 6-8 years (part-time)?
- Is there a good supervisory match for the research project (i.e. can we support the project with expert supervision within the Department/across Departments)?
- Will the proposed research make an original contribution to knowledge and/or will it challenge existing knowledge formations? Does the project demonstrate the ambition to identify and address a deep concern or problematic?
- Is the proposal in keeping with the research ethos of the Programme, which supports a broad and diverse range of interdisciplinary thinking and practice and encourages researchers to consider all elements of their PhD project as sites of rigorous exploration and experimentation
- Is it evident that the applicant is capable of undertaking a long-term research project and willing/able to contribute fully to the research culture of the Department and beyond
Applications that meet these criteria are placed on the 'shortlist'.
Stage 2: Applications - Shortlist
All shortlisted applications are circulated to members of staff in the Department of Art who supervise PhDs. If an appropriate supervisory match can be found, the applicant is invited for interview.
Stage 3: Interview
Interviews are held in person or by Skype, if necessary. Each interview is 30 minutes in total, including a short presentation by the applicant followed by questions and discussion.
For the interview, you will be expected to make a short presentation of your proposed research project (no more than 10 minutes). This will be followed by conversation and questions from the Research Interview Panel (20 minutes).
Although it may vary, the Research Interview Panel will generally consist of:
- Director of Research Programmes
- Research Admissions Tutor
- Member(s) of Research Team
- Head of Department OR Head of Research OR Member of Research Committee
- Potential supervisor AND/OR area specialist
If your interview is successful, you will be accepted onto the Programme.
In certain cases, unsuccessful applicants will be invited to re-apply after having gained more experience, or with a more developed proposal.

The Institute's PhD with a specialisation in Development Economics is geared towards providing state-of-the-art training in macro and micro-economics as well as econometrics. In this programme, students are encouraged to take a minor in another discipline at the PhD level in order to be equipped to deal with complex issues from at least two academic standpoints. In addition, students have the opportunity to carry out fieldwork by taking part in projects being supervised by faculty members in developing countries.
PhD with a specialisation in Development Economics
Over the past decade, Development Economics has arguably become one of the most interesting fields in the profession. From global macroeconomic issues such as the determinants of economic growth, to carefully-crafted microeconomic work in which rigorously constructed theory is tested in developing countries, often using cutting-edge experimental or quasi-experimental techniques, Development Economics is at the heart of many current policy debates. What works and what does not in terms of social programmes geared towards reducing poverty, child malnutrition, or the spread of HIV/AIDS? What policies should a country follow in order to ensure sustained economic growth and an equitable distribution of income?... [-]

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We will adopt out-of-state, but this will usually require additional background check as well as potential adopter willing to transport animal.
Founded in June 2012, Friends of Stanly County Animals (FSCA) is a licensed 501c3 non-profit organization. We are a foster based rescue operated by dedicated volunteers who go over and above to save dogs who would otherwise be killed at the local heart stick shelter located in Albemarle, NC.
We provide foster homes, vet care, rehabilitation, and quality forever homes for dogs in need. FSCA does not operate a shelter. We rely on fosters who open up their homes to care for dogs coming directly from animal control. We also intervene to keep other pets from going to animal control.
Simply put, we are big animal lovers just trying to make a difference in the lives of homeless dogs. They are so many. We are constantly told we can't save them all, but we will continue to save as many as we can "one by one". Our motto is "everyone can do something" and working together we are making a difference in the lives of many.
2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month - PetSmart
780 Leonard Ave h, Albemarle, NC 28001
3rd Saturday of the month
McCoy's Feed & Pet Supply
4420 Highway 24-27 E, Midland, NC 28107
**To be eligible to take pet home from our event - please send completed Adoption Application at least 4 days in advance to get "pre-approved" to adopt.
1.) All potential adopters will be required to fill out an Adoption Application. We work hard at placing all of our rescued animals in the best suitable home possible. We want to ensure the absolute best fit to ensure these sweet babies will be adopted to their forever home and will never have to worry about being homeless again.
**Please be sure that YOU call your vet reference before submitting an application back to us
2.) All of our rescue animals are fully vetted as well as spayed and neutered at the time of adoption unless there is a medical reason or they are too young to be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, in which a spay/neuter contract will have to be signed. We would like our potential adopters to understand the severe pet overpopulation that is present in our state and want all pet owners to be responsible in spaying and neutering their pets. Therefore, it is our policy not to adopt to families that have unaltered pets. Our hearts ache for all the homeless animals including litters of puppies and kittens that get killed in these shelters every day, many by being gassed to death. We try to save the owner surrendered animals because they are the first to be killed, usually on the same day they are surrendered. Unfortunately we cannot save them all and there are only a very few lucky ones to make it out alive.
3.) In general, we do require a fence for dogs unless there are special circumstances such as the dog being older, more laid back, couch potato, etc. There may be other special circumstances as well such as having a dog park next door or wanting a running or hiking partner. Please understand that most dogs have a lot of energy and need enough exercise to release that energy. We also want the dog to have a safe place to play in which a fenced yard is most appropriate.
Please note: Our dogs are NOT located at a shelter. They are in foster homes throughout Albemarle and surrounding areas.
**You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt it.****
BEFORE you can meet any of our dogs(besides at our Monthly Adoption Events), you must be approved to adopt. This means you must fill out and submit an application. A vet check or a reference check is then completed and if that goes well a home visit may be requested. The entire process takes 3-7 days normally, depending on your location. If we do not have anyone in your area to do your home visit we will ask you to reach out to local vets offices, shelters, and rescues to get this done.
Please do not apply to adopt a dog if you are not prepared to welcome it into your home within two weeks of applying. We do not hold dogs and we adopt them out on a first come first served basis based on a completed and approved application process.
~~The adoption fee for spay/neutered/chipped/vaccinated dog is $200 - cats $125 (we need to cover vetting expenses, so we can continue to save other pets in need)
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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

As a new puppy or dog owner, you will be aware of the
responsibilities that come with dog owning and caring for your dog.
However, you will also benefit from the incredibly rewarding and
pleasurable experience of dog ownership.
In time, with the correct training and care, your puppy or dog will hopefully become a well-adjusted adult who is a pleasure to own and a credit to you and the dog society at large.
This section includes information for when you first bring your puppy or dog home and provides support and tips on socialisation environment, feeding, walking and much more.
Remember to take:
When you collect your new puppy it will probably be nervous being taken away from its litter and environment for the first time. Here are some tips on how to make your new puppy as relaxed as possible:
Finally, remember to buy your dog identification tag, more information about the Control of Dogs Order 1992 is available here.
Check It Chip It is a one-stop website for everything you need to know about compulsory microchipping, from checking a microchip to advice, tips and downloads for breeders, vets, dog owners and more to ensure all dog owners and breeds are complying with the law.
The Kennel Club believes that microchipping makes a clear link between a dog and its owner. More than 100,000 dogs are lost or stolen each year, with many having to be kept in kennels before being re-homed. Having a microchip means they can be reunited quickly with their owners, reducing the stress for dog and owner alike.
By law, from 2016 all dogs must be microchipped and contact details MUST be kept up to date.
Having your puppies implanted with a Petlog microchip means that they will be registered on the UK's largest lost and found database for microchipped pets. Registration on the Petlog database provides your puppies and their owners many benefits including:
Find a Petlog implanter in your local area.
Your puppy is likely to be 8 weeks old when you first meet him. With the help of his mother and breeder, he will already have taken some important steps to becoming a well-balanced and socialised dog.
In the first days of his life, your puppy relied entirely on his mother to feed him and keep him warm. However, your breeder will have handled him gently, introducing him to human contact.
The sensory capabilities and motor skills develop quickly as physical changes enable your puppy to see, smell, hear, taste and touch his new world for the first time. By the end of this period he will have learned to walk. Your breeder will have ensured the secured living area was large enough to remove himself from the sleeping area to urinate and defecate.
He will have started to learn how to eat without suckling and it is possible that his mother may have started to discourage feeding from her. At this sensitive time, your breeder may have started to introduce him to solid feeding.
The greater the variety of positive experiences your puppy has before the age of 8 weeks old, the more prepared he will be to cope with the day-to-day experiences in life. Your breeder knows this and will have handled him frequently. To prepare him for life without his mother, your puppy will have been weaned from suckling her to eating solid food and he will now be self-sufficient in feeding and drinking.
Your breeder should pass to you an information sheet on all the socialisation activities they have completed with your puppy and advice on the actions you need to continue with. The Kennel Club and the Dogs Trust has produce an online plan to help you complete comprehensive socialisation which will be the foundation of your puppy's future wellbeing: www.thepuppyplan.com
Sleeping and eating arrangements
Create designated sleeping and eating to help him acclimatize to his new home. Always ensure he has fresh water available.
Choose wisely where your new puppy will sleep. It is important that he can see family life and is not in a draft with suitable dog bedding to sleep in. You must also choose a place for him to eat with enough room for food. Always ensure fresh water is available for him.
Choosing a name for your puppy
A short, two-syllable name will avoid confusion with single-syllable commands.

"Will this be the end of Jigsaw?"
Here comes Saw 7 in 3D to the big screen, which should be the last in the most successful saga of terror in cinema history. And it's that in this seventh and last edition it will be more intense than the others, in addition to telling it all with vivid and chilling 3D effects.
It would seem that Jigsaw, the author of all the horror, isn't going to have a happy ending, as a group of survivors of his work have grouped together to end all this craziness, with the help of Bobby Dagen, a self-help guru and also a survivor of Jigsaw. Will they finally kill Jigsaw, or will he, in return, continue with a new reign of terror?
Starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Rusell, and featuring a collaboration with Chester Bennington, vocalist with Linkin Park, and directed by Kevin Greutert, Saw 7 3D promises to return to making your hair stand on end and you scream on more than one occasion. And if you don't believe it, you can always opt to decorate your PC with this wallpaper of Saw 7 3D.

Based on 1 Reviews
very smelly markers
Love the mat - have had it for a few months and does not stain...not even from turmeric or other bright foods. The markers however, are very smelly and not something I want near my daughter's food. We haven't even used the markers at all. I took the markers out of the box, smelled them, and decided that although they are "non toxic", we don't want to take the chance. I do love the mat, and would buy it again.

The Scott County School District 2 Board of Trustees met for their regularly scheduled meeting at the Mid-America Science Park on Tuesday, January 24
Prior to the public meeting, Mayor Bill Graham welcomed everyone to the Mid-America Science Park. He thanked the Scott 2 Board, Superintendent Dr. Marc Slaton, the teachers and staff for collaborating with the City and MASP to provide the best opportunities for students. He specifically mentioned the classes held at MASP that equip students for the manufacturing workforce, the recent robotics competition and the prosthetic hand project, noting the positive impact each had on students. Dr. Slaton also thanked Mayor Graham and his team for partnering with Scott 2 to make ng these things possible.
Board member Jason Kendall opened the business meeting by asking if there were any questions or comments before the vote regarding Dr. Slaton's stipend and extending his contract through June 30, 2018. There being none, Board member Andrea Soloe made a motion to approve both the stipend and the contract extension. Christy Roberts seconded and motion carried 3-0.
Then following the public meeting, the Finance Committee Meeting - immediately Mr. Kendall called the Finance Committee meeting to order Mr. Kendall explained that a president and secretary had to be elected for the Finance Committee. Mrs. Soloe nominated Mrs. Roberts to serve as president. There were no other nominations and the motion carried 3-0. Mrs. Roberts nominated Mrs. Soloe to serve as secretary and with no other nominations, the motion carried 3-0.
Ms. Melinda Sparkman stated that State Law requires a report on all investments during the last calendar year, however due to the low interest rate environment, Scott 2 has not made any investments. Interest is accrued on the cash balance, via an overnight sweep account rather than an investment.
Ms. Melinda Sparkman provided the 2016 year-end review for the main tax supported accounts, noting the goal for each account and where they presently stand in relation to those goals. The goal for the General Fund being 8-12 percent of revenues and currently at a balance of $2,056,424 representing 11.4 percent of revenues. Ms. Sparkman partially attributed this to enrollment and the cost savings from leaving the special education co-op, property and liability insurance.
The goal for the Capitahl Projects Fund is to reach one million dollars by 2019 with the balance currently at $462,428. Ms. Sparkman stated that the slight dip in that fund was due to some unplanned costs such as purchasing staff devices. The goal for the Transportation Fund is $785,000 (one half of property tax) and ended the year at $653,730.
She noted that the rise in that account was in part due to taking on the contracts of more of the bus routes.
The goal for the Bus Replacement Fund is $222,000 (one half of property tax) and ended the year at $816,297. Ms. Sparkman explained that the high amount in this fund is due in part to taking on the contracts of more of the bus routes and not having purchased buses recently. She noted that there are plans to purchase a bus in 2017. The goal for the Debt Service Fund is also one half of the property tax, $1,300,000 with the end of year balance at $1,468,211.
The goal for the Rainy Day Fund is to increase it $75,000 per year to reach $450,000 by the end of 2019 in order to fully fund payments for teachers who will retire with the bridge. She noted that she will be revisiting this plan in the next month and may want to raise the amount to go to this fund depending on retirement projections.
Dr. Slaton thanked Ms. Sparkman for all that she has done to improve the financial status of Scott 2 and thanked everyone in the District for being fiscally responsible to help reach this status. Mr. Kendall added that during the past 3-4 years a really good effort to become financially sound has been made and Scott 2 is in much better shape than it has been in many years. He thanked the administration, teachers and staff for doing what needed to be done to put the District in a more comfortable financial position.
Mrs. Roberts made a motion to adjourn. Mrs. Soloe seconded and motion to adjourn carried 3-0.
Then the public meeting opened back up with Superintendent Dr. Marc Slaton thanked all those at the Mid-America Science Park along with the City for inviting the Board to
conduct their meeting in the MASP facility. He also thanked the SHS Administration, Mr. Mullins and the students from the Scottsburg High School Manufacturing and Welding class for being in attendance to conduct a tour for the Board to showcase the classes they are involved in at the Science Park.
Mr. Mullins also thanked Robert Peacock, Joe Pearson, Anita Walker and the administration for their continued support and for the opportunity to work in such a facility with innovative equipment, noting that the City has invested about 2 million dollars in the MASP. Equipment purchased through the Scottsburg Redevelopment Commission/CTE Manufacturing Grant included HAAS CNC equipment, sawstop table saw, Fanuc Industrial Robotics Trainer, Epilog Laser Engraver, and three 3D printers. He stated that students are able to earn industry recognized certifications and skills that allow them to compete for good jobs in manufacturing.
Mr. Mullins took those in attendance on a tour of the welding and newly constructed Advanced Manufacturing facilities where students demonstrated how they are utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing technology and gaining the skills necessary to compete for 21st Century manufacturing jobs. Students who provided demonstrations and information were Eliza Mount, Robert Brock, Jon Provines, Angel Cravens, Paolo Bartoch, and Charles Fairbanks. The students did an excellent job and showed much enthusiasm and knowledge about what is being learned in these classes.
Dr. Slaton thanked Mrs. Becky Simpson's Sunday School Class at Elevation Church for donating several hats and gloves for Scott 2 students noting that there were enough donated that several items were provided to each school for students who might need them. He stated that we are very fortunate to have the support of so many in our community.
Dr. Slaton provided the most recent Virtual School Report for review.
In financial considerations the board was presented the expenditure summary, payroll claims for January 12, regular claims for January 1-13 and January 24.
Mrs. Roberts made a motion to approve payroll and regular claims. Mrs. Soloe seconded and motion carried 4-0.
Ms. Melinda Sparkman provided a register for the Board's information of two checks that will be voided due to not being cashed within two years.
Mr. Bobby Riley asked permission to get the lowest responsible bid for the propane tank at LES and to move forward as those bids are good for one day only. He will keep the Board apprised via email. Mr. Moore made a motion to approve, seconded by Mrs. Soloe. Motion carried 4-0.
Scottsburg Middle School Athletic Director Kevin Smith asked permission to charge a gate fee of $3 for home middle school baseball, softball and track meets, which is the same amount that is charged for other home athletic events. The consensus of the Board was that adults could be charged but kids should get in the events free of charge this spring. Mrs. Soloe made a motion to approve charging $3 for adults. Mr. Ron Moore seconded and motion carried 4-0.
The board was presented the following bids for football jerseys:
BSN Sports $16,925; Valley AFS $14,615.25; K & G Sports $14,105; Kratz Sporting Goods $11,070 (if we purchase by Feb. 1) .
Mrs. Roberts made a motion to accept all quotes. Mrs. Soloe seconded and motion carried 4-0. The recommendation by Coach Mullins was to award the bid to Kratz Sporting Goods for Adidas SHS Football uniforms to be paid out of the SHS Football ECA. Mr. Moore made a motion to approve, seconded by Mrs. Soloe. Motion carried 4-0.
Then the board members were presented the following Waste Disposal bids:
VIP Waste Disposal ($1,092.78 a month)
Rumpke ($598-$612 a month)
Best Way Disposal ($618 a month)
Mrs. Roberts made a motion to accept all quotes. Mrs. Soloe seconded and motion carried 4-0. Dr. Slaton and Mr. Riley recommended awarding the bid to Rumpke with the low bid, adding that they also provided an Indemnity Clause to hold Scott 2 harmless. Mr. Moore made a motion to approve, seconded by Mrs. Soloe. Motion carried 4-0.
The board held a discussion of Research Involving Options on How To Proceed with the SHS Roof and Other Site Improvements- traditional spec and bid, Design Build, or Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract. Dr. Slaton stated that there are three options on how to proceed with the SHS improvement project:
Traditional method of Design, Bid, and Build,
Design Build, or
Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract.
After seeking legal advice and speaking with experts in the Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract and Design Build, he and Mr. Riley are in agreement that they would like to pursue the Design Build process.
He stated that with this being a straight forward project it might be a good opportunity to try this method and see how it works.
Design build puts the designer, engineer, and contractor on the same team. They meet and put together a project proposal which generally means less need for change orders. There would be an official resolution approved to clearly identify the project as using design build. At that point a Design Criteria Developer would be chosen who is the field expert who makes sure that all of the legal requirements are met. This person chairs the Technical Review Committee which is made up of 5-6 people, some from the Design Build Criteria Developer's firm with the rest from Scott 2, which can include Board members. This committee develops a rubric or score sheet, deciding what components are most important and weight them in the scoring process. At this point it is sent to design build teams and they have 30 days to submit their proposals. The Technical Review Committee meets at an advertised hearing and opens the project proposals. The first envelope includes only the scope of work, not the dollar amount. These are scored before the second envelope, which includes the dollar figure, is opened and scored. The two scores are divided against each other and the proposal that provides the most of what you want is chosen. Your hands are not tied by having to take the lowest bid, t here is an anticipated cost savings and this process seems to be a good path for schools.
Dr. Slaton stated that a Special meeting was held on Friday, January 27, at 6 pm to make a decision regarding whether or not to use the design build process.(Another story will address this meeting).
The board was then presented the personnel recommendations:

Peaches Lake
The plane touched down on the runway. I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't like planes. The best part for me was getting off. I grabbed my blue shoulder bag and practically ran down the aisle and off the plane. Finally, home. Well, not quite, there was still a long drive to get back to the house, but it was much closer than Australia. I fished my phone out of my pocket, flipped it open and dialled my friend.
"Hello?" said a voice on the other end.
"Hey, Aries! It's Peaches! I'm back!"
"Peaches? Peaches Lake?You're not in Australia?"
"Nope. And I got you a present."
"Why are you getting me a present? It's your birthday in a few weeks, the twenty fifth of february, remember?"
I pretended to sigh. "I know it's my birthday, but I got this like, two months ago. And I'm back to school in two days, once I'm over the jet lag."
"Cool. Well, see you in two days then!" She hung up. My birthday's on the twenty fifth of march, making me a Pisces. Although that's never been anything special, I always hope for change. The chance of my zodiac meaning anything is low, I wonder what Aries thinks I thought. I can't wait to see Aries, I haven't seen her for six months.

The Cheat
Nalwin hit the ground with a dull thud that forced the air out of his lungs. He swivelled around on the ground, turning to face the flushed, angry face of the inkeeper.
"What did I do?" He asked, affecting shock
The innkeeper threw a pack of cards from his hand at the face of the young man before him and then returned to his work, slamming the heavy oak door behind him. Nalwin's face contorted into a grimace as the multiple aces of each suit floated gently to the cold street around him. Maybe he should've been less conspicuous? Would fewer aces among the other cards have made the pack that had been up his sleeve look less obviously like cheating? He doubted it.
Suddenly the door was forced open again and the livid face returned, the hand of the innkeeper thrusting a reciept in his face. Oh dear. They expected him to pay? He picked himself up and reached into his pocket, picking out a golden coin, and then handed it to the bemused man. Nalwin smirked as he turned, the man had probably never seen so much money in his life. Not that it was real of course, that would be a terrible waste of his hard earned cash. Not necessarily legitimately earned cash, he conceded, but he'd worked hard for it all the same: it was strenuous keeping such a straight face when his opponents were so terrible at cards. Maybe he should teach them one of these days? Then of course, they'd beat him and all his money would be lost very quickly. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea after all.
An angry shout reached his ears and he turned around to see the innkeeper, irate and murderous, chasing towards him, fists raised. Nalwin's face twisted into an expression of horror and he quickly turned on his heels and fled. He hadn't expected the man to have seen through the fake gold so easily. A sigh escaped his lungs: people were far too wary these days. What had got them so worked up? A call came from the balcony above him and although he was being pursued, Nalwin couldn't help but look up at the lady standing there. She blew him a kiss, winked and then beckoned to him. He knew her well of course but luckily her husband was utterly oblivious to Nalwin's existance. However, now was not the time. He forced himself to remember he was being chased by a psychotic barman and picked up the pace, despite the temptation that stood on the balcony...

I have given birth to nerd-dom.Posted by Donna Freedman on May 11, 2010 | 5 comments
Today is my daughter's second wedding anniversary, and the blog post she wrote confirms what I already knew: She's as big a geek as her mom, and she found herself a geek to marry, too. You can tell by the gifts they wanted.
I won't say what the gifts are because, obviously, I want you to read about it in her words, not mine.
I will say this: At least they're thrifty nerds.
And to Abby and Tim: I can only say how much I admire your fortitude. Not only because you've manged to live together for more than three years without serious mayhem. (Don't think that's not a big deal, though, given what I know about the both of you.) No, I'm talking about the health crises and unemployment and family issues and more than your share of tough breaks.
Through it all you've held on to what matters most: Each other.
Long may it continue. For the rest of your lives, even.
Happy anniversary.
Love, Mom
