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.
DREAM rescues dachshund and dachshund mixes from high kill shelters in Georgia. We focus on dogs and homes in our geographical area – Atlanta, North Georgia, and Savannah.
We are all volunteer operated and all of our dogs are located in foster homes (which means we get to know them really well!). All of our operating costs are funded through tax-deductible contributions and fundraising. We envision a time when every dachshund in Georgia has a loving home for its entire life.
We have an online application that is reviewed & approved by our board members. All references will be checked. (http://www.dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml)
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.

Single-handle Bath Faucet leak
Replaced Cartridge twice in the past year. After first replacment, it waited 7 months to leak again. After February's 09 replacement, just started leaking again last week. Can anybody help me please??? I'm not a plumber so dont know what to do.
It might be that you are actually making too tight when you are installing the new cartridge. One brand of valve we stopped using had a bad habit of this. If you did not turn the ring exactly 2 1/4 turns, it would leak. Now we use almost exclusively Delta and have ver few problems.
its a retainer clip that holds it in, not the nut. Wish it was, but its the fork-looking clip I have to pull inorder for the cartridge to pull out.
It sounds like a Moen 1225 type cartridge. First is it "leaking" out of the tub spout or the shower head or is it coming out around the handle? If it is only the spout it could be a back pitch problem with the spout itself. It needs to be pitched towards the tub if only 2 or 3 degrees. If it's at the shower head only, it could be the diverter on the tub spout is not opening on loss of pressure. If it is in the valve body itself there a couple of things that need to be addressed. pull out the cartridge and check it all over -both metal and rubber o-rings & face seals for any small indication of abrasions or scratchs or slices or gouges. Hopefully there are none, but that would tell you where to look for a problem inside the barrel. Carefully stick your finger in the barrel as far back as possible and feel gently for any of the above mentioned items. Also use a very strong flashlight and look for any small pieces of rubber in the inlet and outlet ports. There shouldn't be anything in there but nice smooth brass and no foreign material. Then to dress the barrel slightly use a piece of 200-400 wet-or-dry sand paper rolled into a tube and lightly sand the inside of the barrel. Use a soft cloth to wipe out any leftover grit and putting dabs of Plumbers Grease on the end of your finger lubricate the inside of the barrel. Your new Moen cartridge should already be lubed from the factory, but it won't hurt it if you want to apply a little more. When you push the new cartridge in using the little white square head applicator turn it side to side about 45 deg from straight up and down until it is all the way in. If you want to use something other than Plumbers Grease just make sure it is acceptable for potable water systems and that it will not attack or dry out rubber. This should stop your leak. If not then the valve body was defective right from the factory or the original installer warped the valve body with way too much heat. In either case the valve (Complete) needs to be replaced. Good Luck
yea...its leaking out the spout...ima try that method tomorrow...thanks!!

Quote, originally posted by enginerd » I would not suspect the bump stop is a problem. If you dont have the peg in the hole perfectly, you will get what is shown in the above picture. An angle on the upper piece. The cars sheetmetal perch gets clamped by the two spc pieces like a sandwhich. if the post isn't in the hole perfect, then you get an angle, and the sandwhich only clamps on maybe a third of the way around. Drive like this, or torque down real hard and something bends, and your plates are screwed. Even if you correct it later, the damage is done, and something bent. Now it can't clamp properly, and it can move around.
Ill get a better pic tonight, but it should sit perfectly flush.
Ok so when I installed the top plates, I triple checked that the pegs were aligned with the holes before torquing down. Its just that when I start to tighten the top nut, the plate starts slanting. I think a) my top plate is malformed and b) the peg is too short to engage the hole correctly.
I think I'll be calling SPC to see if they can source me new top plates. Besides wearing the rubber down a bit I don't think this will kill the bottom part of the plates. I wonder if this can be corrected by adding a washer?

The Institute of Historical Research is well placed to offer a taught degree in historical research. It has two active research centres, one of the finest open access libraries in the country, the largest weekly seminar series currently operating in a University, a thriving annual events programme, specialised research training programmes in research methods, language information and information technology and unrivalled digital resources. This degree enables students to undertake assessed work in the historical issues and controversies that interest them most.
Students are introduced to key historical approaches, sources and methods and learn to apply them to their particular subject field. The course offers wide-ranging research training, and importance is placed on the use of architecture, material culture, archaeology and literature to aid historical research and understanding. Field trips and museum visits form a key part of the training programme.
Module 1, 'Historical Research Skills', is taught through 10 weekly two-hour classes. It focuses on providing students with practical historical skills and an understanding of different historical approaches and methods. It offers students an introduction to the theoretical basis of historical approaches and the opportunity to explore how related disciplines (such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology and political science) have helped historians adopt new approaches to the past. Methodological approaches, including the handling of material evidence, the use of digital techniques, and the interpretation of visual sources, are also be studied. This module is assessed by a 5,000-word essay.
As part of this module, students are also required to take one of the IHR's short training courses (see research training). This is assessed by a 1,500-word report.
The second core module, 'History in context' is, again, taught through 10 two-hour lectures and seminars. It explores a number of themes in historical research, building on the skills and approaches learned in Module 1. These include local and urban history, as well as the history of gender, migration and empires. Students are encouraged to think about the significance of continuity and change in history and periodisation, as well as the presentation of history in museums and other public fora. This module is assessed by one 5,000-word essay and a 15-minute presentation on an aspect of history in context.
Module 3 offers a range of taught options courses which allow students to select a topic to study in more detail prior to commencing work on their dissertations. Students are required to take two ten-week courses, chosen from a list which may include: 'health and welfare', 'local history', 'material culture', 'the making of the metropolis', 'death in England', and 'digitial history'. Each course is assessed by an essay of 3,000 words.
The dissertation (15,000 words), which can be undertaken in any historic area where Institute of Historical Research staff have supervisory competence, offers the chance to design and implement a project drawing on the skills and methods learnt during the course.
Classes for the taught core modules and options courses take place on one day a week (currently, Wednesdays). Supervision for the dissertation can be arranged to suit working patterns.
For further details about the course, see the 2016-17 MA/MRes in Historical Research Student Handbook or School of Advanced Study Website

Sir Winston Churchill's great-grandson Randolph and his granddaughter Celia Sandys were at the Hyatt Regency Churchill Hotel in Portman Square last night for the opening of the Churchill Bar and Terrace, with an outdoor area for cigar smokers.
It features a lifesize bronze of Churchill, cigar in hand, by sculptor Lawrence Holofcener.
The bar offers the Churchill Martini, saying he liked his martini served without vermouth added — it just had to be present in the room.
"Glance at the vermouth bottle briefly while pouring the juniper distillate freely," he once wrote.
"He looks very happy," said Celia Sandys.

Jack Lew Brings Debt-Ceiling Warning to SenateBy
Bloomberg Businessweek's Karen Weise followed Treasury Secretary Jack Lew's Senate testimony this morning. Below are her updates, filed in real time.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew appears before the Senate Finance Committee this morning to testify about what would happen if the federal government defaults on its debts. He has sounded the alarm in recent weeks and is likely to do so again today.
"I think that if you look at the calm out there, which I think is a bit greater than it should be, there's a sense that 2011 was a terrible experience, and nobody would do that again," he said on Sept. 24 at the Bloomberg Markets 50 Summit. The next day he told Congress that the U.S. will run out of money by Oct. 17 if it doesn't raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit.
Expect Lew to address some of the hot topics that have arisen since then, including swatting down the growing ranks of "debt-limit deniers," stressing the urgency of the deadline, and making a "formal presentation" that President Obama promised about whether the government can technically avoid defaulting if it pays bondholders but not other obligations like Social Security. Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Karen Weise is following the hearing, with real-time updates.
Lew's prepared testimony is out (PDF), and he expresses a sense of urgency to raise the debt ceiling. He says a default would be "catastrophic" and creates "real risk of a financial crisis and recession that could echo the events of 2008 or worse." Raising the limit "at the last minute" would be "very dangerous," he says, saying that after October 17, the government will be stuck dealing only with "cash on hand and any incoming revenues" to pay its obligations. He goes on to dismiss the theory that the government could prioritize which debts its pays first to avoid technically defaulting on its debt. Finally, he says Congress should raise the debt ceiling without tacking on conditions over the budget. We'll come back and break down some if his arguments from here.
Prioritizing is not an option. Lew is directly shooting down the idea that if the government pays bondholders but lets other obligations like Social Security payments slide, it wouldn't be considered a default. "Prioritization is just default by any other name," he says. Being tagged a default is important in the eye of the market because investors to question the certainty that the government makes good on its debts—which could cause rates to spike. Lew says the legal authority to pick and choose payments is not "clear at all" and that even if it wanted to do so, technologically it may not be possible. He says the government writes "roughly 80 million checks a month" in an automated system that "was not designed to be turned off selectively."
So what does the administration want? Sen. Orrin Hatch pressed Lew to name specific numbers for how much Obama wants the debt ceiling to be increased, and for how long. Lew refused to give a direct response. He says, "the longest that Congress is prepared to extend it for is the best." There are two things going on here. First, the Obama administration has been trying to draw a hard line that this is Congress's mess to sort out. Also, Negotiation 101: Never be the first to throw out a number.
The timeline haggling isn't useful. There's been a lot of debate over when, exactly, the government will default. Is it Oct. 17, as Lew has said before? Is it Nov. 1, as some are Wall Street believe? In Lew's written testimony, Lew says, "between October 17 and November 1, we have large payments to Medicare providers, Social Security beneficiaries, and veterans, as well as salaries for active duty members of the military." In the Q&A, Lew says because the situation is unprecedented, it's "impossible" to know for sure when the government will run out of options, so the whole process of slicing the deadlines isn't helpful. "There is a parlor sport in Washington of when is 'the last minute,'" he said. "You can't do that with the debt limit."
Wall Street likes what it's hearing. While Lew's been talking, the market opened, and the S&P 500 rose 0.6 percent on optimism that lawmakers will avoid default.
Rolling over. A number of times in the hearing we heard about how the government "rolls over" its debts. Companies do this too: they issue short-term bonds to generate the cash to pay debts, and when when those bond come due, they usually re-up and borrow again. Lew expressed concern that it would cost the government more to reissue these short-term IOUs if the country defaults and, if things got really bad, that the government wouldn't be able to refinance these debts at all and would be forced to payback all of the debts at once. He described it as instead of having to pay your monthly mortgage payments, you have to repay the full mortgage all at once. Lew didn't give an estimate for what it could cost, saying only, "We're not talking about small numbers."

A loss of life at the Zoo
Cleveland (AP) - The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo says its last polar bear has been euthanized because of a declining health.
The zoo's general curator Andi Kornak in a statement on Tuesday said the "humane choice" was made after assessing the female bear's quality of life.
Zoo veterinarians earlier this year found that Aurora, the 30-year-old bear, had an untreatable case of liver cancer. Her condition had worsened during the last two days.
Aurora was born at the Cleveland Zoo and was later housed at facilities in Germany and Wisconsin before returning to Cleveland in 2001. Zoo leaders say the life expectancy of female polar bears living in zoos is 24 years.
Kornak says Aurora was a favorite of guests and staff.

It was cloudy yesterday in Brooklyn. And rainy. My Sunday plan of spending some time outdoors was ruined. I was bummed.
Moments later I had a phone session with a client. She had expressed disappointment of being passed over for a promotion. The news happened earlier in the week, and she was still disappointed. I asked her to think "how might this incident be serving you?" At first she was confused, didn't quite get it. So I asked her to consider what comes with a promotion. More compensation, sure. But also more responsibility and stress, which she already had a lot of in her life. I told her that maybe this was an opportunity for her to get a handle on her current workload. You could even call it a gift. She instantly felt more at peace.
So often our disappointment comes from not seeing the bigger picture. I tried to apply this same perspective to my own life. How might my rainy day might be serving me? Well, it gave me the opportunity to take care of some things I had been putting off - phone calls, writing in my blog, reading, etc. But it also would be a benefit to my farm! As a member of the Park Slope CSA, I get a fractional portion of whatever my farm harvests for the season. So perhaps this will lead to more strawberries! Or zucchini! Instantly I too was at peace. :)

The upside of a rainy day

The local season begins!
I'm officially into summer. I just picked up my share of produce from my local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). This week we were treated to strawberries, red lettuce, bok choy, chard, turnips, radishes, scapes, and parsley.
When you become a member of a CSA you pay upfront for a share of a particular farmer's harvest for the season. The season lasts 22 weeks from now until mid November. Every week is a mystery. You get some familiar items (e.g. strawberries) and some unfamiliar ones (e.g. scapes).
I personally love the challenge of figuring out what to do with my produce. It is also a great way to connect with your fellow CSA members. Gotta good recipe for these turnips? What is the best way to store my bok choy?
And how cool is it to have my very own personal farm? Answer: Super cool!

Recipe: Red Lentil Soup with Mustard Greens and Lime
This recipe is a variation of classical Indian dahl. Red lentils? The bright yellow color of this summery soup comes from turmeric, a great medicinal spice. Enjoy!
Serves 4 to 6
2 cups split red lentils, picked over and rinsed several times
1 tablespoon turmeric
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 bunch mustard greens, chopped (or other green vegetable)
Juice of 3 limes or to taste
1 cup cooked rice
4 to 6 tablespoons yogurt
Put the lentils in a soup pot with 2 1/2 quarts water, the turmeric, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the lentils are soft and falling apart, about 20 minutes.
While the soup is cooking, prepare the onion flavoring:
In a medium skillet over low heat, cook the onion in 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter with the cumin and mustard, stirring occasionally. When soft, about the time the lentils are cooked or after 15 minutes, add the cilantro and cook for a minute more.
Add the onion mixture to the soup, then add the juice of 2 limes. Taste, then add more if needed to bring up the flavors. The soup should be a tad sour.
Just before serving:
Add then last tablespoon of butter to a wide skillet. When foamy, add the mustard greens and cook just long enough to wilt.
If the rice is warm, place a spoonful in each bowl. If it's leftover rice, add it to the soup and let it heat through for a minute.
Serve the soup, divide the mustard greens among the bowls, and swirl in a spoonful of yogurt.

What is holistic health counseling?
Two years ago I became a holistic health counselor. Five years ago I wouldn't have been able to answer this very question.
I thought if someone was physically ill, they went to see a doctor.
If they were mentally ill, they went to see a therapist.
If they needed to lose weight, they went to a nutritionist.
Holistic Health Counselor? That would have drawn a blank.
Sometimes a specialist is necessary. Like a doctor for emergency surgery. Or a therapist, if I'm dealing with the loss of a loved one. Or a nutritionist, if I want to go on a detox or drastically lose weight.
But what about someone who is looking for some healing that is a little more subtle? Someone who is 'fine' but simply doesn't look and feel their best. Someone who wants to get better, but just needs a little support. Someone who knows that something is intuitively 'wrong.'
Those are the individuals I feel are best served by a holistic health counselor (or at least me). These individuals take a long-term perspective and are not just trying to lose weight to get in a swimsuit by summer.
They want to look better, sure. But more than that they want to feel better from the inside-out.
My clients cite more energy, peace and satisfaction with their lives. To learn more visit my website.

My intention
My intention for this blog is to share another perspective about health. To expose others to new ideas, foods, recipes, thoughts, conversations that I have found inspiring in my own journey. I hope to make it accessible and fun, for those who are already passionate about holistic health, and also those who are simply curious.
I've never embarked on anything like this and am not sure where it will lead. I simply feel the need to share what I've learned with the world.

Image Editing has become a key element in the photographic workflow. Image editing tools, most notably Photoshop, are usually sophisticated and deep applications - and fairly expensive. The only open source tool in this market is the GIMP, which has developed into a powerful multiplatform system, running on Linux, as well as OS X and Windows.
This book has evolved from the classroom materials the author developed and used in courses and workshops on Image Editing with the GIMP. It covers the basics of image editing and guides the reader through the functions and tools of GIMP from simple adjustments to more advanced techniques with layers and masks. The more important editing functions are presented in individual workshops. Moreover, the book covers the stitching of panoramic images and preparation of high-quality black and white images.

essential guide to THE GIMP
By willem borman
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly GIMP 2 for Photographers:
GIMP 2 for Photographers provides essential help-by-example in the use of the many advanced GIMP tools. It does not claim to be a complete manual, and does not address the paint and art creation aspects of the GIMP. It does an outstanding job demonstrating its use in the advanced photo editing procedures that are normally well beyond the capability of common photo editors, such as the ones bundled with camera software. The GIMP is often included in desktop Linux distributions. A CD included with the book contains recent versions of the GIMP for Linux, Windows and OS X. It also contains practice images for use with the examples in the book.After an introductory chapter, the book presents chapters covering correcting and touching up images, using masks and layers _ painting, filling, and color tools, and working with black-and-white and color images. A typical exercise describes how to improve a scanned image. The initial image is tilted and needs to be righted, using the angle tool to measure the degree of tilt to be corrected. A moir_ effect is removed with the Gaussian blur tool, the levels and curves tools are used to correct the tonality, and contrast is increased for better definition. The different options available for these tools are briefly discussed. Another example shows how to restore an old, faded and scratched picture using various cloning and healing tools.The use of layers and masks is shown to modify an originally dull landscape photo. The colorless sky is replaced with a blue sky with natural-looking color gradient and some light clouds and a setting sun low in the sky is added. The text tool is then used to convert the image to an Easter card. Some of the examples towards the end of the book are getting complex enough to go beyond the scope of ordinary photo editing but serve to demonstrate some of the most sophisticated tools available in the GIMP.I highly recommend this book as an excellent and essential guide to using the GIMP. Adobe's Photoshop Elements 5 may have more bells and whistles, but the GIMP will let you do most of the same editing steps for free. Of course, Linux users don't have a choice and are fortunate to have this powerful editor available.

As before it is divided into easy-to-read sections with clear answers that sometimes encapsulate whole diseases.
The four-part question format is retained in order to aid those intending to take Certificate or other exams in Travel Medicine. The correct answer to each question is that which is generally accepted as the best one. Nonetheless the reader may quibble with some answers and the author is always happy to accept sound advice and change accordingly.
Travel Medicine has a broad canvas. It cuts across the boundaries of Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine, Tropical Medicine, Geographical Medicine, Aviation and Refugee Medicine. Because of this the few Textbooks we have Travel Medicine are large and difficult to digest.
This little book attempts to set down in concise form the essential elements of Travel Medicine in a way that is easy to read yet challenging.
These pages certainly invite the reader to share in excitement and wonder of this fascinating subject.

Nicole's Place is absolutely excellent.
We enjoyed our time there very much. Niki is so friendly and cooperative and does always her best to make our stay happy.
Niki had always great ideas for activities in and around LA.
We were there only for one week , but it felt after a very short time like a second home and we would definitely come back.
Thank you for the wonderful time at your house .
Everything good for you and your lovely pugs.
Stefan & Katja
Although i just spend four days in this beautiful mansion i loved every single moment in it. The styling, the furniture, the yard/pool(!) and the VIP parking made me feel so comfortable, that i'll almost miss the house more than the entire city of LA! By the way, forgot to mention it earlier, the mattress makes you feel like floating on a cloud :-) anyway, if i'll ever be in the city of angels again, i know where to stay :-)
Greetings from it's counterpart, NYC - Alex

We were very satisfied there. Pleasant and feels like your own home. All best, gladly again
From Nicole we were welcomed warmly. She has a beautiful home where we were allowed to use everything. From the kitschen objects up to the piano, pool table, swimmingpool or garden. The house is very centrally located. So you can reach many sightseeing points including Universal Studios, Hollywood, Santa Monica etc. within 30 to 60 minutes.
Nicole herself is a wonderful host who helped us with very valuable information. Whether it was about adresses, parking, day trips or transport. She always assisted us and helped with perfect advices.
We felt very well with her and wish her and her sweet dogs the very best. As a host we recommend her at the warmest.
Dear Wimdu, my stay at Niki's was really great!!!! She is very warm ans generious ans you can always ask her questions, she never gets tired to answer and give good tips for your journey. The house is clean and really nice, it felt like a real home to me. I would recommend Niki's home to everyone who wants to stay in LA! Best regards Simone
Stayed in classic pool house for 3 nights as part of our 2 week trip to California.At our previous destinations we stayed in hotels but wanted to experience living in a typical Californian home.The experience did not disappoint ,Nicole is an excellent host and by the end of our short stay felt as though we had made a friend.She made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.Her home is in a lovely area on a wide tree lined street and in a good location to travel to the beach or into the main areas of interest in LA.It was a pleasure to spend time chatting with Nicole and a fellow guest and feeling very much at home.We would certainly like to return.
We had a really good time in Nicole's Classic House. The house is very special, too bad we missed the TV production team, who shot a commercial just a few days before our arrival. Nicole is a wonderful host, she provided us with lots of information where to go and where not to go. We loved her three funny dogs, we enjoyed swimming in the pool and met very interesting people from different countries. The neighborhood is very good and it's close to the Universal studios, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. No question, this is the best place to stay when in LA.
Nicole hat ein wunderschönes Haus in LA.
Das Haus der Filme erkennt man tatsächlich in einigen Musikvideos und FIlmen wieder. Für USA standart macht Nicole für ein kleinen Aufpreis ein empfehlenswertes Frühstück. Grade diese Unterhaltungen am Frühstückstisch haben wir sehr genossen.
PS.: sry for very late feedback. I lost my login for wimdu.
We stayed at Nicole's house for three days during he final days of our Route 66 trip from Chicago to LA. The house is located in one of the best neighbourhoods of LA and (relatively) close to many interesting places in LA, like the beaches, downtown, attractions, etc. The Calabasas community is closeby and offers great breakfast and dining places. Nicole is a great host and her only motivation is to have her geusts enjoy their stay in her house. She will help you with all the questions you have (even after you left her house) and will give you suggestions for sightseeing in LA.

the first sentence of your introductory paragraph should do all of the following EXCEPT:
It looks like there are supposed to be choices. maybe if you put the choices down we'll help.
A. Give the reader an idea of the subject matter.
B. Include the title of the essay.
C. Grab the reader's attention.
D. Provide a thesis sentence.
You don't want to put your the title of the essay in the introduction. An introduction has to have a grabber, thesis statment and also an idea of what we'll be reading. Sometimes that idea is part of th egrabber and that makes it stronger. People would want to read it.
Good Luck!

With just one month to go until its theatrical release, "Reclaim" has just launched a brand new promotional poster to start building the hype.
The new artwork features stars John Cusack, Ryan Phillippe, Jacki Weaver and Rachelle Lefevre along with the tag line, "Take what's yours."
Celebrities and good causes always seem to go together, and last night (May 17) some of Hollywood's finest converged at the Heal the Bays Bring Back the Beach Fundraiser.
"Pretty Woman" actress Julia Roberts showed up at the Santa Monica shindig with her hunky husband Danny Moder.
Showing off her girl fighting skills, Rachelle Lefevre was spotted for the first time on set of her new CBS show, "Applebaum," in Venice Beach, CA on Saturday (April 28).
In the behind-the-scenes look, the 33-year-old Canadian actress is seen smashing a skateboard into a gunman's back after two men threw themselves into a marijuana glass store window.
Having taken a full year to plan, an army of Victoria's Secret Angels put on one dazzling display during tonight's (November 9) Fashion Show in New York City.
She rose to fame thanks to her role as Victoria in "Twilight" and "New Moon" and now Rachelle Lefevre is trying television out for a change.
The crimson-haired hottie plays a doctor working in a South American clinic on the new show "Off the Map."
Debuting their new movie north of the border, the stars of "The Town" were out at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on Saturday night (September 11).
She may not be apart of the "Twilight Saga" any longer, but that doesn't mean Rachelle Lefevre is out of work.
It was recently announced that the former villainous Victoria actress is now set to play a "hippie doctor" in a new TV medical drama created by the same bunch behind "Grey's Anatomy."
Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, Rachelle Lefevre was spotted at the 3rd Annual Women in Film Pre-Oscar Party last night (March 4).
The "Twilight" hottie was all smiles as she posed outside a private Bel Air residence, sporting a low-cut black dress with peep-toe heels.

Board of Education members ask Ritz to drop lawsuit
Four members of Indiana's State Board of Education have requested that Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz drop her lawsuit against the ten board members.
Troy Albert, a principal from Henryville; David Freitas, a professor from South Bend; Sarah O'Brien, a first-grade teacher from Avon; and Tony Walker, an attorney from Gary, all signed the letter, which states, "We, the members of the State Board of Education, are teachers, school administrators, professors and professionals in higher education and business. We are bipartisan, and we don't believe politics have any business in education."
At issue is the state's system for grading students and their schools. The state's standardized ISTEP exam was plagued by technical glitches earlier this year, affecting tens of thousands of students. Ritz says over 55,000 re-scores were requested statewide due to those problems, and those are still being re-scored by hand. That data is expected on November 5.
But the governor says that's not fast enough. He spoke to Eyewitness News Thursday.
"Our schools are anxiously awaiting the results of A-F grades. Our parents deserve to know how their schools are performing and teacher pay raises in many jurisdictions in Indiana are dependent on the performance of their schools. So we are holding up teacher pay raises and we are holding back giving parents the kind of information they need to make the right choices for kids in education," he said during a morning interview in his office.
Full text of the letter:
October 25, 2013
Dear Superintendent Ritz,
In the interest of transparent dialogue about the future of education in Indiana, we are offering this open letter requesting that you join us in starting anew to work on behalf of the students and schools that we all care about deeply.
We, the members of the State Board of Education, are teachers, school administrators, professors and professionals in higher education and business. We are bipartisan, and we don't believe politics have any business in education. We work every day to give students new opportunities in our own classrooms, schools, institutions of higher education and communities.
We did not run for elected office, but when we were called upon to serve the students, teachers and schools in this state as members of the State Board of Education, we were humbled and honored to answer the call. We would have been happy to work to better education in Indiana in relative obscurity, as we have no higher aspiration than to ensure our state and our children have access to the best education possible.
Now we find ourselves embroiled in a lawsuit. Named individually as defendants and accused of having a secret meeting that never took place. While you have access to in-house representation, we do not.
As you know, the State Board of Education has a statutory responsibility for developing education policy in this state. We appreciate your expression on Thursday of your respect for us as individuals. We respect your role as the chair of our board and your statutory obligation as the head of the Indiana Department of Education. However, the State Board of Education is a shared governance board, and we ask that you respect our duties as board members as well.
Suggested Links
Superintendent, you have said repeatedly that you have worked to communicate openly with us. And yet, we have been continually frustrated by our emails and requests that go unanswered, missed deadlines, and a lack of progress on issues that are critical to the success of our students and our schools. However, in the interest of our students—the future of our state—we are ready to set that aside and start over.
On Thursday in your press conference you stated: "I look forward to continuing to work to improve education for all Indiana students in a fair, transparent and collaborative manner." We share that goal, but actions speak louder than words. If you truly want to work in a collaborative manner, then we ask that you drop this lawsuit, put politics aside, and come to the table ready to put the interests of students, teachers and schools first.
It is time to get to work. We welcome your assistance on education policy, and we look forward to your response.

Fishing hot spots in metro often are underrated, overlooked (Minneapolis-St. Paul Sta
Many anglers travel great distances in search of great fishing, but not Walter Cooper of Minneapolis. He caught the walleye of a lifetime just down the road at Lake Nokomis.
Re: Fishing hot spots in metro often are underrated, overlooked (Minneapolis-St. Paul
Good article!! Might get people looking closer to home for their fishing. When I lived in Philadelphia one of my most fished locations was Valley Creek which runs through Valley Forge National Park. It is just 20 to 30 minutes from the city and sports a natural brown trout population.

"bing bang boom! hair out...hamburger time" - William Murderface
Carla's daughter's "boyfriend" has more shoes than she does, keeps them in boxes in the top of his closet, and has them arranged by color. That and his "best friend" is a Event Planner...
I suggested she find another boyfriend before he does first.
"I believe a real man should own more gun than shoes."
Chisel that on my tombstone please.
tsk, tsk, tsk. As men, we only have to know the 2 laws about what women want.
1. Women have no obligation to tell men what they want.
2. Women have the right to get pissed off when they don't get what they want.
I would go more with the psychological factors. Guns are powerful devices, and having the experience and skill to harness them puts the power of them in YOUR hands. Guns are, by the general population, viewed as dangerous or deviant because they're not familiar with them, other than the fact that they primarily exist to kill. Killing is a powerful act as it ends a life. So they have a fear of guns, yet fascination of anyone who possesses them and knows how to use them. It's the same with a crotch rocket, fast car, etc. Not everyone has experience with or access to things that are associated with power and/or speed. When you show that you can ride a bullet bike at 180mph, or speed shift your 400hp Cobra, you're harnessing the power behind it, so technically the power belongs to you. Someone not being able to launch and shift a fast, high HP car wouldn't be attractive. Likewise, even if you showed up with the baddest handgun there is, but couldn't hit a target at five yards to save your life, you're basically getting beaten by the more powerful object. When you can control the power something has, that power becomes YOUR power.
It's even better when you take a girl with you and let her shoot. You're displaying your knowledge and skill with the guns not only by shooting them well, but you're instructing her on how to do the same, so in essence, you're giving her the power as well. Not sure if that makes sense, but generally speaking when you take a girl to do something that one might see as dangerous, her adrenaline is increasing because she's participating in something she perceives as risky, deviant, or exciting. Since you're demonstrating a skill and knowledge of something she's not familiar with (nor are many people), you are displaying a novel characteristic of yourself. Novel things can be defined as something different or outside the box that's not a common ground. Novelty evokes the dispersal of both norepinephrine and dopamine, which are two neurotransmitters that increase attraction. Adrenaline, simply put, increases testosterone levels, which lead to horniness. Also, when you're instructing a girl on how to properly hold a handgun, showing grip, stance, etc., you're probably touching her. Oxytocin (the female equivalent of vasopressin in men) is a chemical released due to touch, nipple/genital stimulation, and at the moment of orgasm. It's known to trigger romantic and passionate attachments, which is why orgasm is so important to a relationship...it triggers the release of oxytocin, which stimulates romantic feelings.
So put them together...
1. Risk, danger, excitement (because you're shooting something that was designed to kill)...triggers the release of adrenaline, which increase levels of testosterone, which feeds into the lust circuit.
2. Different + interesting = novelty...triggers the release of dopamine and norepinephrine, which feeds into the romance circuit.
3. Touching and close proximity...triggers the release of oxytocin, which also feeds into the romance circuit.
Lastly, there is PEA (Phenylethalamine), which is evoked by one action: direct eye gazing. Always look at a girl in the eye and hold eye contact for a bit too long, but not to the point you creep her out. This extended eye contact triggers the release of PEA, which is thought to mediate "love at first sight," and feeds into the long-term attachment circuit. Also, it causes one's pupils to dilate. A sure way to tell that a girl is into you is her pupils dilate.
The chemical army...use it to your advantage. Shooting guns brings out the danger and risk, novelty, and touching (touching for a specific reason, not just touching her to touch her). The same would happen if you took her for a ride in your fast car (if you have one), then letting her drive and showing her how to drive it properly.
And here I was, thinking that I wouldn't have to suffer thru another season of "The Pickup Artist" because my wife likes the show, but lo and behold the next season of....."The Handgun Artist" A show dedicated to picking up chicks with guns, but not like how they do in L.A. Watch thisNow all I need is the appropriate commercial to follow it, probably a "Male Enhancement" ad or something. What do you think, will it fly?
Thursday when R. Lee Emery shows this 90lb. nerd how to double tap his way into a womans loving embrace, but
will it last? Does he have enough barrel to keep the romance alive? Thursday at 9.
(no real TV shows were harmed during the presentation of the prior sarcasm and humor, use as directed.)
That's about enough with the phallic references. Started as an interesting thread, but I think it's devolved enough to close.

Favorite iPad RPGs
View Single Post
November 19th, 2011, 07:12
I have a ton of Iphone games, many of which I really like. But I looked through the whole list and couldn't find a single RPG that I was really excited about (and I've tried a reasonable number).
I guess if I had to pick one it'd be 100 rogues. I kind of liked Battleheart too, it's simple but fun for what it is, but it also has a lot more potential then it actualy uses.
There are tower defence and action games with RPG elements that I'm excited about, but no actual RPGs.

About Me
I am a Fine Art Photographer & Videographer looking to network with Models, Designers, Hair Stylists and MUA's. I love to create artistic creative images and believe that the right lighting is everything. It separates the standard from the superb.
I have been an artist from a young age and have been doing Photography for 12 years. I am a full time professional photographer and use the best of equipment. Photography is not a part time hobby; that being said TF shoots are rare and usually initiated by me. Please send me a message and we can work with your budget.
Note: I get friend requests daily; all the people in my friends list I know personally or would like to work with. I'm not into building a huge friends list because the first thing I do when needing someone for a shoot is to look through my friends list for local people. If you are not local and send a friend request without a message, it will most likely be ignored.
If you are local and send a friend request and I do not add you, please do not take it personally, you just may not have the look I need. That does not mean we cannot work together (just dont expect me to work for free.)
Models; Let me help you create very strong images for your portfolio.
Designers; I want to photograph your new work for catalogs or the web.
Hair Stylists; I want to create art with your work
MUAs; If you desire a certain concept shoot you would like to add to your portfolio let me know.
You can contact me here or at email@example.com
Please view my website at www.jdsphoto.net
I am also a videographer.
You can view my Demo Reel of work here:
Travel: I am often in NYC as well for shoots so if you are from New York do not be afraid to contact me.
I also have Family in: Binghamton NY, Pittsburgh PA, Baltimore MD, Los Angeles CA & Portland OR
Below is part of an email from a Model I recently worked with:
You were the photographer that every art model prays for: you were
nothing less than respectful, professional, and driven for the work at
hand. You were excited about the work we were doing in such a way that
inspired me to see beyond my own perception and brought out the very
best model that I can be. I have worked with literally 100's of photographers in my 7+ years of experience and so few have the understanding of light AND the ability to control it as you do! In truth, you may be among the top three (certainly the top five) most talented photographers in all of my career-- I believe that the community needs you because you bring so much credibility to what others can only conceive of doing.
This is part of an email I just received from a Hair/MUA that has been in business for 18 years:
I really like your work. I especially like how you light your
models, how every picture's composition makes sense and your finished images
look flawless without looking photoshopped.Beautiful work! - Janeen
This note was received about a portrait I did for Frank's web-site.
Frank Nitti
Quote from Bon-Ton Productions:
Well you are en extremely good photographer! One of the best I have ever seen! Would absolutely love to work with you more:)

This is my last post dedicated to Mexico City, at least until my next trip there! One of the things on my must-see list was the Museo Soumaya, owned by billionaire Carlos Slim. Slim's son-in-law, Fernando Romero, was the architect behind the museum covered in 16,000 hexagonal aluminum plates that stands out amongst the traffic infested streets and shopping mall. It's a sight to be seen, to say the least, and I was quite impressed at not only the size of the museum but the size of the art collection inside. You take the elevator to the top floor and wind your way down ramps to be greeted by some of the most famous, prolific artwork in the world. The top floor houses Rodin and Dalí sculptures, many of which took my breath away. Dalí is an artist who captivates me and I had never seen any of his artwork in person, so to take in these life size sculptures was pretty mind boggling. If you have the chance to visit Mexico City, don't skip out on this fantastic museum that is free to the public. It will totally make your day, I promise. Museo Soumaya and Salvador Dalí sculptures below:
The floor filled with Rodin and Dalí
Caballo Montado por el Tiempo (Horse Saddled with Time)
Perfil de Tiempo (Profile of Time)
El Elefante Espacial (Space Elephant)
Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas (Alice in Wonderland)
Bailarina Daliniana (Dalinian Dancer)
La Mujer en Llamas (Woman Aflame)

He tried to put forward a motion against moves to cement homophobia in law in Uganda and Nigeria, but was denied leave to do so by leader of the house Gerry Brownlee.
A spokesman for Brownlee says it's because Chauvel did not talk to any other parties before moving his motion
"The convention is that Members who wish to move motions (as Mr Chauvel's colleague Mr Sua William Sio did just prior) consult with other parties before moving motions in the house. I'm not even sure Mr Chauvel's party knew he intended to put the motion."
However Chauvel is adamant he sought support from every party, late last year:
"I received positive responses from the Greens and NZ First, and a non-committal one from the Maori Party," he says.
"National did not reply to me but their senior whip – Michael Woodhouse – told our senior whip – Chris Hipkins – that National would not support the motion. I decided to move it in any event in the hope that they would change their minds – sadly, no luck."

Included is an overview of related processes and techniques and concepts that address historical and contemporary issues. Students will use a variety of techniques to develop and implement creative problem solving. Critiques, discussion, and presentations establish basic critical skills necessary to evaluate glass crafting, explore artistic intent, examine structural solutions, and expand perceptual awareness. Includes demonstrations, lectures, slides and audiovisual materials. This is the first course in a three-course sequence exploring glass casting. Recommend: ART 117. Audit available.

4. Identify ideas and issues and participate in critical dialogue in glass casting.
5. Experience and appreciate sculptural works from different cultures as they apply to glass casting, initiating an awareness of the diversity of perspectives on the human experience.
6. Develop, through the experience of making and studying glass casting, a heightened awareness of the physical world and of the ecological impact of art materials on the environment.
Course Activities and Design
Students will be assessed on the following: • Create molds in a range of complexity while demonstrating an understanding of the underlying logic in common with all mold design. • Work together demonstrating teamwork and concern for each other while being mindful of shared
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Competencies and Skills The successful student should be able to do the following: • Find resources for materials and tools used in glass casting. • Conduct research to develop ideas, perspectives, and influences from a variety of sources. • Employ a variety of strategies to solve problems encountered in the process of realizing an idea for a glass form. Students will be able to make models, sketches, maquettes, material tests, etc. • Use a variety of conceptual strategies to make molds and create glass castings. • Use the proper safety/health equipment and procedures in working in the studio. • Make interesting, challenging, appropriately crafted work. • Understand and apply basic vocabulary necessary to discuss the formal, conceptual, and technical aspects of these processes. • Analyze and enjoy the formal and perceptual concerns of glass. • Communicate with others on a variety of levels (i.e. formal, conceptual etc.) on the subject of glass. • Assess the ways in which art objects are affected by personal perspectives and experiences. • Make historical and cultural connections in determining meaning and understanding of art.These will be evaluated and assessed by work produced, critiques and individual and group review.
Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)
Concepts • Create visual ideas through experiencing and playing with materials, imagining, dreaming, visualizing, symbolizing, writing, reading, researching, studying historical and cultural examples, drawing, collaborating, scrutinizing, discussing) • Develop these ideas in glass through sketches, plans, maquettes, test pieces, models and finally casting glass objects • The relationship between Perception and Art • The relationship between Form and Content • Methodologies for interpreting art Historical and Cultural Contexts • Concepts, theories, and issues addressed by various cultures and historical periods. • Concepts, theories, and issues addressed by contemporary glass makers from different cultures. • Relationships between form and content in works of art from different cultures and historical periods. • The roles of art and artists in different cultures • Intercultural and "interhistorical" influences (e.g. the influence of historically important glass centers abroad on contemporary American glass art today.) Ceramic Forms and Perceptual Impact • Visual/physical elements used to create glass form: point, line, plane, shape, form, marks, texture, shadow, light, value, color, space, weight, volume, mass, text, etc. • Relationships of characteristics within visual/physical elements (e.g. proportion, length, thickness, position, orientation, scale, weight, interrelationship of shapes, relative value and color, movement and stillness, quality of texture, etc.) • Strategies for manipulating visual/physical elements as a means of formal composition and expression (e.g. arrange, juxtapose, relate, contrast, group, balance, unify, repeat, edit, elaborate, classify, divide, increase, decrease, maximize, minimize, dissect, separate, align, vary, diversify, alternate, reduce, connect, etc.) • The relationship between material and form and their visual/ physical impact (i.e. a hollow clear form imparts light and breath and movement as the viewers eyes move across the surface where as heavily saturated glass regardless of its form suggests imperviosity and stasis. Heavy texture on glass bounces the light around while a smooth surface draws the light into the form.) Materials and Techniques • Comprehensive understanding of plaster and its application to process. • Comprehensive understanding of the components and characteristics of investment materials. • Safety and hygiene in the studio. • Firing schedules, understanding ramps and soaks and the operations of the kilns and controllers. • Working comfortably both with clay and wax forming techniques. • Making flexible molds, mother molds in preparations for lost wax casting. Critical Analysis o Vocabulary relevant to ideas, materials, and techniques pertaining to glass casting and mold making. o Application, interpretation, and redefinition of glass casting ideas, connection of historical and cultural contexts, personal expression and creative freedom.

For a nonalcoholic version, skip the tequila and add a little water to help blend the mixture. Recipe: The Party Starter (Watermelon Tequila Cocktail) Pinterest Summer Melon Fizzies Freeze cubes of puréed ripe melon so you can whip up this treat anytime the mood strikes. Recipe: Summer Melon Fizzies Lime Agua Fresca with Watermelon To keep this drink simple, start with store-bought limeade. Recipe: Lime Aqua Fresca with Watermelon Berry-Melon Agua Fresca Sweet-tart agua frescas, served all over Mexico, make a great foil to hot and spicy dishes. Recipe: Berry-Melon Agua Fresca Morro Bay Pacific Gold Oysters with Melon and Cucumber Water This easy recipe comes from Kirk Sowell, owner of two Morro Bay restaurants--Miss Lola's SouthSide Grill and Frankie & Lola's Front Street Cafe. He developed it especially to highlight the cucumber-melon flavors of Pacific Gold oysters. He uses Ha-Ogen and Ambrosia melons, and cilantro microgreens, but they're a little hard to find; honeydew, cantaloupe, and regular cilantro are fine too. Recipe: Oysters with Melon and Cucumber Water Tomato and Melon Salad with Scallops and Pink Peppercorns Using a few colors and different sizes of tomatoes will make this recipe especially beautiful. Recipe: Tomato and Melon Salad with Scallops and Pink Peppercorns Watermelon, Corn, and Tomato Salad This savory-sweet summer salad is a perfect example of the saying, "If it grows together, it goes together." Recipe: Watermelon, Corn and Tomato Salad Grilled Calamari, Watermelon, and Tomato Salad Chris Cosentino of Cockscomb restaurant in San Francisco is known for adventurous dishes like this one, a meet-up of mild grilled calamari (squid), fresh produce, and exciting seasonings. He grills the calamari over almond wood plus regular charcoal briquets; for the home cook, he recommends easy-to-find mesquite hardwood charcoal. To make the dish as fiery as Cosentino likes it, use 2 tbsp. black pepper and 2 tsp. Aleppo pepper, and don't seed the serrano chile. Recipe: Calamari, Watermelon, and Tomato Salad Grilled Watermelon and Shrimp Skewers Grilling watermelon adds a smoky note to the fruit and gives it a slightly meaty texture that matches well with shrimp. Cooking takes only a couple of minutes, so have both sets of skewers ready before you start. You'll need 12 flat metal skewers (12 in. long) or 18 skewers (8 in. long)—or use bamboo skewers of the same size, soaked in water for 30 minutes. Recipe: Grilled Watermelon and Shrimp Skewers Spicy Watermelon Salad Chiles, pickled onions, and fresh lime wake up this watermelon salad. Recipe: Spicy Watermelon Salad Honeydew Relish Salad Honeydew melon, cucumber, grapes, and celery make a beautiful green salad. But it's a simple dressing of honey, white wine vinegar, and mustard seeds that "pickles" and elevates these ordinary ingredients into a sweet-tart masterpiece. Recipe: Honeydew Relish Salad Shaved Cantaloupe and Prosciutto Salad A salad that's as beautiful and clever as it is delicious. Oh, and did we mention—it only has four ingredients? Recipe: Shaved Cantaloupe and Prosciutto Salad Melon Salsa The cool melon is a nice contrast to the spicy chile. Serve with any grilled chicken dish you like. Recipe: Melon Salsa Vietnamese Shrimp and Green Melon Salad The cool melon is nicely contrasting to the spicy shrimp and dressing. We suggest slicing the melon into wedges, and then again on a diagonally so you get wide pieces. Recipe: Vietnamese Shrimp and Green Melon Salad Watermelon Jello Move jello beyond retro dessert with the summery flavor of watermelon. Recipe: Watermelon Jello Watermelon, Cantaloupe, or Honeydew Sorbet This sorbet is only as good as your melon, so use the best fruit you can find (or grow). The sorbet is creamiest when eaten as soon as it's frozen. Recipe: Watermelon, Cantaloupe, or Honeydew Sorbet
