Hello/Bonjour, potential student! I currently teach one section of French at a private high school and also have 5 1/2 years of experience as a public high school French teacher. During my public school teaching experience, I did official district homebound instruction (for students that cannot attend regular high school for health related reasons) for 2 years as well. I also tutored officially after school for students on campus, again in various subjects. I have been tutoring through WyzAnt for nearly 8 years now and very much enjoy it!
My philosophy of tutoring is to tailor the lessons to meet your needs. Every student learns in his or her own way and I do my best to present the topics in the way that works best for you.
I have both lived and taught (English as foreign language) in France, and enjoy helping students from all different backgrounds. I graduated from Missouri State University with a 3.62 overall (4 point scale), thus I feel that I am qualified to tutor in many areas. At the end of December 2014, I earned my Masters in Educational Technology, with distinction.
I look forward to helping you achieve success in your subjects, so please contact me as soon as you are ready to learn!
Online tutoring hours available for late night help, even on short notice--just ask!

Michelle helped my son through Algebra and English. She did an amazing job. Michelle is very knowledgeable and friendly. My son is a shy person, but Michelle brought him out of his shell and he liked her very much. She is a wonderful tutor and I highly recommend her.
I'm learning basic, beginning French. Michelle is really nice and supportive. She makes it fun to learn the language. She seems to know everything about French. I'm really looking forward to our next lesson.
Michelle has been so helpful tutoring my daughter for ACT's her practice score went up 4 points!!!! Thank you Michelle for working with her.
Anyone looking for a tutor, Michelle is the one!
I love that we focus primarily on skills and reviewing information that I have forgotten from previous years. I feel I can really shape the tutoring session the way I want to and focus on what I need to focus on- unlike a class where it is more generalized.
Michelle is teaching us French for our upcoming trip to France.it has been very helpful
and we are learning so much and will continue with our classes.a wonderful experience!!
First tutoring session to help my daughter with algebra 1 was scheduled for upcoming Saturday. my daughter was having an issue with the steps involved in graphing linear inequalities for a test tomorrow. Michelle agreed to do an emergency online session. She explained the steps to my daughter in 15 minutes. My daughter was able to learn the material quickly. She now has confidence she knows the material for the upcoming test tomorrow. Thank you for helping us on such short notice .
My 14 year old daughter loves working with Michelle, and aced her placement test in math after working with her for a few months.
Michelle is very helpful in setting a good plan to succeed. She is knowledgeable with a nice manner of teacher. We look forward to having further lessons with her to raise ACT scores.
Patient, energetic, dependable, knowledgeable, upbeat, kind, understanding, fun: these are just some of the words my daughter uses to describe Michelle. When Michelle went to France for an extended trip over the summer, she would actually get up at 5:00 am France time to give my daughter her weekly evening lesson, and would be just as upbeat as always! She keeps her students focused while still having fun. I could sometimes hear my daughter in her room laughing during her lessons. I could also hear Michelle's upbeat, energetic, patient, encouraging words. My daughter will miss her tremendously when she goes away to college. Not only does my daughter value Michelle's tutelage, she values her company. Thank you for everything, Michelle. Thank you for being you.
We have only had two lessons with Michelle and they seem to be going extremely well. She has explained things clearly to my daughter for ACT testing.
She's helping me study to retake my ACT. She is very thorough and goes at a pace that helps me better understand the problems!
I just finished taking an online French III class that was so difficult, literally half of the class was failing. I was spending hours every day trying to teach myself via the online lessons how to read, write, and speak French. I was passing, but barely, and I really didn't want to repeat the course yet it was required for graduation. So I contacted Michelle on here, and we hit it right off. She has a great sense of humor and a vast knowledge of French. Although the work itself was grueling, it was far easier when she explained it and gave me some excellent tips along the way. The result is that I saved time, became more confident and less stressed, and even had some fun along the way. Oh, and I even got an A in the class! I literally cannot say thank you enough, in English or in French! Thank you!!
Michelle helped my daughter with proof reading her French Finals project at a short notice. She is knowledgeable and is pleasant to work with. We would definitely be getting her help in the future.
Speaking for my daughter, but, from what I could see, just one session brought down her defenses, made her more open to actually learning.... and then realizing she knows more than she gave herself credit for. Michelle has a great straightforward, yet patient approach which I think is great.
I speak French with Michelle every week to stay up- to-date with my language skills. I must say, as a fellow French speaker and teacher, that she is one of the top experts in this matter. There's nobody I could recommend more than Michelle. She is brilliant, and I love talking to her because she is good to talk to. We have fun conversations together, and she corrects me if I make a mistake. We have been speaking over a year now, and I want to keep her as long as I can so that I can stay current with French as a French teacher.
Please pick Michelle if you want the absolute best French has to offer.
Michelle is bubbly and fun! My daughter enjoyed her first lesson to help her get prepared for her upcoming ACT exam.
Michelle worked specifically with my daughter on math for the ACT - the result was an increase of 5 points on the math portion! Highly recommend.
Very happy. Even after just the first session my son was feels much more prepared for class. She explained a number of grammatical issues he was having, and not getting explanations for in the classroom. Thank you Michelle
We hired Michelle to teach us french for a very specific type of vacation. She reviewed our itinerary and focused on teaching us the basics that we would specifically find valuable. Parfait!
We had went over the math portion and we hada math refesher so I could do the same thing on the real test. she was a great help
Michelle has been great helping my daughter with the Algebra II problems that stump her. Michelle works through each problem with her to get to the solution. They work well together and I think my daughter is more fully understanding her math.
My son needed some help on some Algebra I topics before his finals. Michelle was great. Very patient and explained how to do things in a way that was easier for him to understand. Thanks!
Michelle helped my son with catching up on his French class and made the lesson fun. A great tutor - I recommend highly.
Michelle helps my daughter with Algebra. She is patient, and knowledgeable. She has helped get my daughter's self confidence back. I have tried other avenues in the past, and this was the best decision I made for my daughter.
Michelle is helping me with pronouncing words and learning words. I believe she will be able to teach me and help me accomplish my goals.
Shannon said that she liked the way Michelle focused on one topic until she understood instead of quickly moving on...
Michelle tutored my son in French. He thoroughly enjoyed working with Michelle and she made it fun for him to learn. Michelle is reliable and always quick to respond if ever I needed to contact her. I highly recommend Michelle.
Michelle was tutoring my son for reading and English for the ACT test. She helped him raise both of his scores by 3 points from the very first time he took it. Michelle was always very flexible if we had to switch a time or cancel. She always responded quickly to emails sent. Michelle gave my son some printed materials to review at home also. I would recommend Michelle to anyone I knew looking for a tutor.
I have studied a number of languages over the years and have come to know the benefit of working with a tutor who possesses near-native fluency in the language you are in interested in learning. A person deeply immersed in both your native language and your target language often understands your struggles in a unique way, coming up with solutions tailored to fit you. WyzAnt helped me locate a tutor who was exceptionally knowledgeable about the language I wanted to work with and had extensive immersion experiences in the cultures where this language is spoken. She also had a long history of tutoring many subjects. It was a passion for her. This is something I really respect and wanted to have in my tutor: a love of helping others learn. All of these qualities added up to a really creative working environment, where my tutor was always working with me to design new learning platforms that served my progress and language in which we were working. I was never bored! And it did not hurt that she is a truly good and kind person, as well!
Very patient and willing to assist where needed. Nice and informative in providing the right structure for the tutoring.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Michelle to prep me for my college math placement test for my nursing BSN program. She was easy to reach by phone and very reliable. She always got back to me if she said she would. She was patient with me since I haven't taken any math in over 14 years. She was willing to review subjects with me a couple different times until I was able to understand. Chances are that I will need a tutor once I begin taking my math courses and I will be calling on Michelle for her excellent and easy to understand tutoring skills.
Thanks Michelle!!
She works very well with my son. She is friendly and kind and somehow she gets him to work on French.
Michelle was an excellent tutor for my daughter. I highly recommend her as both a math and french tutor. She was always prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable in her subjects.
Michelle responded quickly and was helping my daughter the very same day I contacted her. She is a GREAT tutor!!
Michelle helped my son get his ACT score up drastically. He continually prepared at home, and with the assistance of Michelle, he was determined to get a high score. Michelle is an amazing tutor and I recommend any student in need of help on the ACT to go to her for help because she is perfect!!!
We appreciated Michelle's help with 4 tutoring sessions. Her tutoring helped my daughter pass her college placement exam. She couldn't have done it without her!
In 5 lessons I feel Michelle has equipped me with the knowledge of pronunciation, key phrases to communicate with politeness in likely encounters and a general understanding of numbers and how they work with currency. I have gained sight recognition of important words for travel purposes and can scan a menu to know what I might be ordering.
Because this trip came up quickly and I knew no French prior, I feel Michelle did a great job in helping me to accomplish my initial goal - to feel a little more comfortable with the language while in France.
She brought materials pertinent to our study, was patient, encouraging, on time and responded quickly when I sought a tutor.
I would highly recommend her.
I jest! Michelle is not a "professeur," but she may as well be! Michelle has been tutoring me for the last couple of months while I'm taking a CE French course at a local community college. She is very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the French language and culture. What's great about learning from Michelle is that I'm learning the French language from the perspective of a primary English speaking person that is fluent in French as opposed to my French professor who is from France. Michelle is able to navigate me through the rough spots English speakers have trouble with not growing up in the French culture. This is extremely helpful to me and I come away from my tutor sessions learning more than I learn in class. Simply the best French tutor!!!
Michelle is a fantastic tutor! She's very patient and always makes lessons enjoyable while also making them productive. Thoroughly enjoy learning from her.
Michelle is a very nice and respectful woman. She was a great help in tutoring my daughter in French. Michelle helped my daughter raise her grade a whole letter! Thanks so much!
Michelle is an excellent teacher. I speak French as well and it is a pleasure speaking with someone like her.
We have only had a few sessions with Michelle and my daughter's grade in French has gone up. Our goal is to get it up closer to an A - I think they are going to be able to do that!
Michelle has been tutoring my daughter for several months. She has been wonderful, she is patient in helping her review concepts over and over again, until she is confident.
She is always quick to respond by e-mail, text, or phone, and will go out of her way to schedule extra sessions when we are in a bind.
Michelle has been great and has helped my daughter tremendously. We will be finishing with tutoring for right now so my daughter can have a break for the rest of summer.
Thanks Michelle!
First time I am doing the tutoring service and Michelle has seriously made it a great experience. I am learning french from her and she is very flexible about schedules and lesson plans. For most lessons, we are chatting the whole time in English and french. A few lessons go by and suddenly I am picking up the language. I am able to use more french in my sentences each lesson.
But this is how I learn best. I can tell she is an experienced teacher who can accommodate many people's learning styles. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn or be tutored.
My granddaughter has been working with Michelle now for about 6 months. She really struggles with math and ended up the year with an A which she has never gotten before. (She just completed 7th grade) We were thrilled! Michelle also helps her with other subjects as well, including French which is great since none of the family speaks French. We are continuing our tutoring throughout the summer and will be staying with the program long term. I am so glad we found WyzAnt and especially our tutor Michelle. She is personable and makes the sessions interesting. I can't say enough good things about her!!
Having one week to study and get help for my Chemistry final, Michelle was a lot of help. I had no idea what I was doing and chemistry has always been a struggle, Michelle helped me understand all of the concepts and calculations of each and every section/chapter I needed to learn. She is very nice and helpful, I would really recommend her to anyone out there struggling with chem. We met in a library near my house for 3 days and it made a huge difference. I was able to understand way more.
Although my daughter had a previous tutor for French, she was not understanding what she learned. Michelle changed all of that in a short period of time! She demonstrated expertise in her ability to help my daughter grasp what she was having difficulty with in French to complete the subject that she did not get previously. Michelle manifests such a calming "aura" about her which is certainly an important trait to possess in tutoring a variety of personalities. It certainly is important to us. She was always punctual in arriving for the pre-determined time and day, and very cooperative and professional in her summation of my daughter's progress per session; i.e., what was covered in the session, how my daughter grasped it, and what she could decipher about my daughter's response to her (Michelle's) instruction. She provided details that I like to know about without my having to request it. I would recommend Michelle to anyone needing a tutor for subjects she is offering.
Michelle is a terrific tutor. She is prompt, knowledgeable, encouraging, and sensitive to a student's particular needs. We worked on French conversation together and I looked forward to every session. She also went out of her way to find me information about Quebecois French. It was especially helpful that she is comfortable with a more colloquial French style than is found in textbooks. I highly recommend her.
Michelle is a wonderful teacher. Very patient. Very knowledgeable. Michelle will work at your pace while making it fun to learn.
I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to others. We used Michelle for ACT tutoring, but her skill set seems to extend far beyond standardized test instruction. Initially, I was impressed by her expedient responses to my email inquiries and the clarity in which she answered our questions. Michelle was always on time to the sessions and immediately established a nice rapport with our daughter. The sessions were productive and motivating. More than anything, I believe that Michelle instilled a confidence in our daughter which has been reflected in the consistently high scores she achieves on the practice tests.
Michelle was a fantastic tutor!
My daughter needed help thoughout this year with French, as her teacher's teaching "style" was not actually helping her learn French. Michelle's patience, and flexibility with my daughter's schedule, was very appreciated, not to mention her vast knowledge of the French language (dare I say she is infinitely more knowledgeable than my daughter's French teacher?)!
Even though my daughter has decided not to continue on with a 4th year of French at her school, at least Michelle was here to help my daughter make it through her 3rd year with a terrible teacher, filling in the (many) gaps when needed. Therefore, I highly recommend Michelle, and we will truly miss her!
Michelle is a great tutor, and I am very happy that I had the opportunity to work with her. Although, I had never taken a formal French class, she was very patient with me and tactfully showed me how to approach learning the language in a more organized fashion. She has given me very good recommendations for books and alternative methods of learning that are fun. She was easy to contact, on time, and well-informed of French culture. I would recommend her to students of all ages.
Michelle was a wonderful tutor! She was always easy to contact. She was patient during the lessons, and her help with correct pronunciation and translation was invaluable. Moreover, her insights into French culture made the learning enjoyable. She gave me the confidence to to continue learning French.
Michelle is a gift. Besides being a great tutor, she is extremely flexible with the lesson plans and topics. I had initially requested her help with algebra, but she was just as happy helping my child with chemistry and other subjects, as the need arose. In just a few lessons, my child is showing signs of confidence in her ability to tackle more challenging concepts.
Michelle has given Kaitie some excellent strategies for learning difficult lessons. She adapts very well to my daughter's learning pitfalls and teaches her methods to conquer the challenging concepts. Michelle is an outstanding teacher!
Very well prepared. Always on time, flexible with a meeting place (local library or our home), friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you, Michelle, you are doing a wonderful job. I wish we had started the lessons a year ago!
I believe Michelle is an excellent tutor. My daughter was failing Algebra 1 and after one week of tutoring from Michelle my daughter's grade has gone up one full letter grade. Michelle was very patinet with her and very determined to raise her grade quiclky. I believe the upward trend will continue due to Michelle. Thank you Michelle and I hope you will continue to teach her.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have tutored numerous students in ACT; average improvement of score is 3-5 points (see testimonials).
Before I knew I was going to teach French, I was originally going to become a math teacher. I have had numerous students tell me that I should teach math, as they really enjoy my step-by-step, simple breakdown method. I have helped a lot of people conquer their fear of math.

Imagine you are online playing FIFA Soccer 11 on your Play Station against somebody who insists on keeping possession of the ball, even if it means passing the ball back and forth.
Your opponent annoyingly tries to simulate FC Barcelona' s tiki taka style to the point where you get mad at them and maybe even go on an online rant against them.
Gamers beware: you might be insulting none other than the world's greatest player – and we don't mean video game player. We mean real life player. As in Lionel Messi.
Messi admitted that he likes to play online soccer without revealing his identity .
"I play Play Station online, against people from all over the world who don't know that it's me. Sometimes they get mad at me because I start playing the ball back to waste time," he said.
The revelation was only one of several made by a candid Messi to TyC Sports in Argentina.
Despite being admired the world over, as is his team Barcelona, Messi showed a bit of paranoia when saying that there were many who rooted against them.
"I know there are a lot of people who are waiting for us to lose and not win anything, but that doesn't interest me," he said.
"I've heard just about everything, all kinds of things about me from people who are now talking well about me," he added.
The Argentine playmaker when on to talk about the styles of play of Barcelona and his national team.
" We don't know how to play any other way and sometimes we pay for it ," he said, of Barcelona's possession-heavy style of play. "We always play like that… having more possession of the ball allows you more chances for goals."
Surprisingly, he said that with his national team, the style of play was more reminiscent of club rival Real Madrid .
"(Argentina) has a style of play similar to that of Real Madrid. Wait for the right time, go on the counterattack and score. We have players for that style," he said.
The striker said that his objective was to return to Rosario to live, although he was living spectacularly in Barcelona. He added that his greatest desire was to win the World Cup in Brazil and admitted that he cried in the locker room when Argentina was eliminated in South Africa.
Messi had some moments of introspection like when he acknowledged foolish behavior in the past.
" One time (Pep) Guardiola substituted me against Valencia when we were winning 4-0 and I got mad. It was silly ," he admitted.
Messi also credited his past coaches and teammates with his development but most of all his father, who pushed him to succeed when he was young.
" My father always had something to criticize me about . Few times he told me to do well, and that helped me to grow game by game."

Hi, i had some good ideas for FIFA 14!
English is´nt my first language but i will try the best i can.
1. More player faces. As a Liverpoolfan it´s a shame that Agger and Gerrard has looked the same then 2008, and it´s also a shame that Skrtel doesn´t have a real face and Johnson doesn´t is bald.
2. Audience must be more realistic to not look like pieces of paper. There should also be a better atmosphere when there is a big game or derby.
3. More leagues like the Ukraine and the Argentinian league.
4. More real stadiums. At least the ten biggest clubs in the top five leagues should have their own stadium. Also more national stadiums like Parken in Copenhagen, Friends Arena in Sweden, Maracana in Brazil and Stade de France in France for example.
5. Much better AI.
6. Better gameplay. Several ways to treat the ball and everything can´t just be about pace.
7. Much better referees.
8. A better developed "Creation Centre" where you detailed can make your own stadiums, kits, boots, players and teams.
9. Better commentators.
10. Better weather effects and the weather should be able to shift during a match.
11. That you in Ultimate Team get to create your own badge and kits.
12. Licenses for Champions League and Europa League.
13. Real youth academies in career mode and you should be able to talk with the press live after a game.
That was just some of my tips for FIFA 14, by the way, do you also develop the game in Sweden, and if so, is there any possibility to get there one day and watch as they develop it? It would be a dream!
No. Off Topic in Here. No suggestions for any games are part of this Suggestion Box.

Malcolm Turnbull. . .commercial ideas for Waverley Cemetery.
Christine Lacy ponders Malcolm Turnbull's proposal for business to get behind a burial ground.
As a man of the people who wouldn't mind taking the seat of Wentworth in the Federal Parliament, Malcolm Turnbull has taken to slogging it out along the cliff tops from Bondi to Bronte, with wife Lucy in tow, sea breeze in their hair.
Last Saturday he was seen pressing the flesh in Sydney's most famous beachside suburb, chatting to TV crews in open neck blue shirt and chinos.
Turnbull, estimated in the just-released BRW Rich List to be worth $125 million, is surveying residents on what's top of their pops in terms of local political issues. And now, the latest plan being cooked up and put forward by the political aspirant is to rustle up corporate sponsorship for the Waverley Cemetery overlooking Bronte.
(Imagine what it'll be like when the "official" campaign actually kicks off.)
The cemetery plan's designed to save the local council having to fork out $700,000-a-year on upkeep of the facility and it'd all be in return for discreet promotional opportunities.
We're thinking Pengana's Waverley Cemetery.
Lucky chap has four daughters
With bigger things on his mind, we don't suppose Lend Lease boss Greg Clarke would have much spare time to be scouring the top-end of the cut throat Sydney real estate market right now.
Perhaps preoccupied with his $11 billion mega-merger with GPT, the property boss is still going to be in need of somewhere to rest his head - and those of his missus and four teenage daughters - on his imminent move from the Old Dart.
The corporate team at ABN Amro, led by Peter Brownie, might be doing their best to fulfil Clarke's needs when it comes to netting GPT but it's a different sort of advice he's getting as to which side of the bridge he should live.
In true Sydney fashion, he's getting polarised views on the relative merits of the east versus the lower North Shore.
According to Clarke yesterday, the latter is winning out, if only because he reckons it'll be easier to find something big enough to accommodate a room for each of the kids. Not to mention what we imagine are all those bathrooms.
Proving there's more to life than share raids and merger blueprints, the girls, Clarke further reports, are none too happy about the idea of having to transfer straight from one school year directly into another, forgoing the traditional English summer break over July and August.
Devilled advocate
When the Medical Research and Compensation Foundation got serious last year about extracting a few hundred million dollars from Hardie for asbestos victims, it outlined its allegations in a 25-page lawyer-to-lawyer letter.
The missive from Clutz partner Nancy Milne to her counterpart at Allens, Michael Ball, contained some claims that the Corporations Act had been breached.
But perhaps the strongest contentions were that Hardie had contravened the Trade Practices Act (to wit, 1: misleading and deceptive conduct; and 2: unconscionable conduct).
Perhaps Milne in drafting the letter, or Ball in penning his snappier 8-page reply, reached for a standard text on the issues.
How about a CCH Australia publication Australian Trade Practices Compliance?
Very readable, with the best bits helpfully highlighted in bold: "Keep this in mind: the amount of compensation which can be recovered following a breach of a TPA provision is unlimited."
There are lively allusions to classical literature, eg: "A veritable Dante's inferno awaits those found in breach of the TPA, with circles of hell comprised of penalties and fines; damages actions; injunctions; personal liability; loss of business; loss of reputation and damage to brands; loss of management time and other terrible consequences."
One terrible consequence, which does not rate a mention, is ending up in the witness box at a special commission of inquiry.
But perhaps it will be included in the next edition, for the author is none other than Hardie's own general counsel, Peter Shafron.
As the blurb reads, Shafron has "confronted trade practices issues from both a claimant's and a defendant's perspective".
Gianluigi's welcome
Fuelling his passion for food as well as music last night was new Sydney Symphony Orchestra Italian maestro Gianluigi Gelmettis, who by the looks of things has his feet well and truly settled under this city's table.
Or at least that of the Park Hyatt's harbour kitchen&bar chef Danny Drinkwater.
The pair joined forces at the swank hotel for the SSO's annual dinner, for which Gelmettis in tandem with Drinkwater (unfortunate surname for a bloke in the hospitality game) conceived a menu of his homeland favourites.
Enjoying the antipasto selection was SSO boss Libby Christie, Energy Australia chair John Conde, along with just announced outgoing orchestra chair and Westpac director Helen Lynch.
DJs director and NSW Chamber of Commerce boss Katie Lahey, property man Greg Paramor and Tenix chief Paul Salteri then tucked into Pasta SSO, a dish specially conceived by the maestro, followed by something akin to Italian meatloaf, again prepared to Gelmettis's exacting recipe.
Dessert - along with the sweet treats kicked in by the swelling corporate bellies to fatten the orchestra's coffers - came in the form of panacotta, which was enjoyed by banker Michael Ullmer and SSO director and former boss of the now Singo-controlled Issues & Images, Greg Daniel.

Alain Poupart: Tannehill is coming along just fine, although he has gone through the inevitable ups and downs of rookie quarterbacks. To a man, his teammates have talked about how impressive his poise has been from the start of training camp and he clearly has never looked rattled. From a physical standpoint, he certainly looks the part and shows a lively arm. What he does best just might be throwing on the run. What he needs to avoid is trying to force passes, which he did a couple of times last Sunday against Seattle — even though he was bailed out on an end-zone interception by a roughing-the-passer penalty. Because Tannehill is the future of the franchise and because he was so familiar with the Dolphins offense, having played under offensive coordinator Mike Sherman at Texas A&M, it's not fair to categorize this as a waste of a season.
2. We all know that the Jayson Taylor led Miami defense has been a hurdle for the Patriots in the past. What should people know about this year's Dolphins defense than differs from those in the past? Even without Taylor, can the D still bring the heat?
AP: First off, Jason Taylor wasn't a major factor on the Dolphins defense the last few years, so his impact shouldn't be overstated. This year's defense, under new coordinator Kevin Coyle, is different in that the base is a 4-3 instead of a 3-4, even though they still use elements of that defense. The Dolphins seem to be blitzing more than they have in the past, but they can only do so much of that because their secondary isn't elite by any means. As has been the case since 2009, Cameron Wake is the pass rusher opponents have to worry about, and there really hasn't been another consistent presence applying pressure.
3. The only time the Patriots haven't won the division since Tom Brady became a starter was in 2008 when the Dolphins took the tiebreaker and 2002 when the Jets won the division. With a Patriots win on Sunday, they take the division again. How important is winning the division to the Miami faithful, compared to just getting in? And do you think the Dolphins have a shot at the playoffs this year?
AP: Considering the Dolphins have made the playoffs once since the 2001 season, at this point just getting into the postseason is the goal and then fans will worry about winning the division. It's also important for the fan base to make the playoffs emphatically, as opposed to 2008 when they had no injuries, a brittle veteran quarterback having a career year and a soft schedule. As for this season, with two of their last five games coming against the Patriots and another being a trip to San Francisco, I have a hard time seeing a playoff berth being realistic.
4. Who are the top players on offense and defense that fans who don't know the dolphins should keep an eye on?
AP: The marquee names on offense are Tannehill and Reggie Bush, but in Davone Bess the Dolphins have one of the most reliable receivers around. New England fans, however, should know him considering he's had some big games against the Patriots. On defense, the one player who doesn't get the attention he deserves is tackle Paul Soliai — and that's even though he went to the Pro Bowl last season. He doesn't get many tackles, but the guy is a best in run defense.
5. Best promising player from the Draft except for Tannehill?
AP: Based on what we've seen so far this season, the most promising rookie draft pick other than Tannehill has to be defensive end Olivier Vernon, who has a couple of sacks on the seasons along with a couple of blocked field goals. Running back Lamar Miller also has shown explosiveness running the ball, but his pass-protection issues have kept him from getting significance playing time.
6. How much gas does reggie Bush have left in the tank, and do you think he'll play a key role on Sunday?
AP: Reggie Bush has been in the league since 2006, but he doesn't have nearly the normal wear and tear of someone who's been around that league because he was used sparingly in New Orleans. So to think Bush is wearing down is off the mark. That said, his performance has been very uneven this season, although a lot of that has to be attributed to the offensive line. Will he play a key role Sunday? Let's put it this way: If he does, the Dolphins have a shot; if he doesn't, it could get ugly.
The Dolphins have had very impressive performances against New England in recent years — but can't sustain them. Just think back to last year's game at New England when Miami led 17-0 at the half before the Pats rallied to win, 27-24. If the Dolphins bring their A-plus game, they have a chance to make it a game, but in the end I'd say to see Miami winning without a more prolific offense and with a secondary that's not playing great football lately.

22. Before The Gates
Had she not caught the words themselves she would have recognised their
import from the blighting effect they produced upon the persons grouped within
Schooled as most of them were to face with minds secure and tempers quite
unruffled the countless surprises of a court room, they paled at the insinuation
conveyed in these two sentences, and with scarcely the interchange of glance or
word, drew aside in a silence which no man seemed inclined to break.
As for the people still huddled in the doorway, they rushed away helter-skelter
into the street, there to proclaim the judge's condition and its probable cause;--an
event which to many quite eclipsed in interest the more ordinary one which had
just released to freedom a man seemingly doomed.
Few persons were now left in the great room, and Deborah, embarrassed to find
that she was the only woman present, was on the point of escaping from her
corner when she perceived a movement take place in the rigid form from which
she had not yet withdrawn her eyes, and, regarding Judge Ostrander more
attentively, she caught the gleam of his suspicious eye as it glanced this way and
that to see if his lapse of consciousness had been noticed by those about him.
Would the man still in possession of the paper whose contents had brought
about this attack understand these evidences of apprehension? Yes; and what is
more, he seems to take such means as offers to hide from the judge all
knowledge of the fact that any other eyes than his own have read these invidious
words. With unexpected address, he waits for the judge to turn his head aside
when with a quick and dextrous movement he so launches the paper from his
hand that it falls softly and without flurry within an inch of the judicial seat. Then
he goes back to his papers.
This suggestion, at once so marked and so delicate, did not fail of its effect upon
those about. Wherever the judge looked he saw abstracted faces and busy
hands, and, taking heart at not finding himself watched, he started to rise. Then
memory came,--blasting, overwhelming memory of the letter he had been
reading; and, rousing with a start, he looked down at his hand, then at the floor
before him, and, seeing the letter lying there, picked it up with a secret, side-long
glance to right and left, which sank deep into the heart of the still watchful
If those about him saw, they made no motion. Not an eye looked round and not a
head turned as he straightened himself and proceeded to leave the room. Only
Deborah noted how his steps faltered and how little he was to be trusted to find
his way unguided to the door. It lay to the right and he was going left. Now he
stumbles--Isn't there any one to--Yes, she is not the sole one on watch. The
same man who had read aloud the note and then dropped it within his reach, had
stepped after him, and kindly, if artfully, turned him towards the proper place of
exit. As the two disappear, Deborah wakes from her trance, and, finding herself
alone among the seats, hurries to quit her corner and leave the building.

Nick Cannon Addresses Mariah Carey 'Drinking & Drugs' While Breastfeeding Rumor
Nick Cannon said a social worker visited new mom Mariah Carey in the hospital this week regarding possible allegations of drug use and drinking. On Thursday's Piers Morgan Tonight, Cannon said someone called child protective services after Carey followed a nurse's suggestion to drink a small amount of dark beer to help with breast-feeding.
"I guess someone maybe overheard that [suggestion], and this is a good way to make a quick buck, or call the tabloids," he suggested. "It's kind of sad that people think that we'll make money off of these newborns."

"Then they were saying that my wife was drinking beer and all that stuff. It's like people would do anything to conjure up a story," said Cannon. "It is frustrating, but you got to have to understand this is something you have to deal with. It is sad that people have to go to those lengths," he added.
Carey gave birth to the twins on April 30. She and the babies remain in the hospital
Watch Nick, seen her yesterday (May 12) in New York City, talk about the allegations…

Cheapest anywhere!
by Michael Oberndorf on 5/11/2015
I have an older camera that uses these. Since I use it for work, download pix a lot, and save them off-computer, smaller, rather than larger is a necessity. These, at Rakuten, are WAY cheaper than anywhere else. I highly recommend them.

"Dr. James, I just talked to you today about possible uti and wanted to say thanks - you have the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met and your staff is incredible. I wanted to let you know that Daisy went above and beyond being helpful today. I hope that you can pass on to her how much I appreciate her and her knowledge. I love your staff - you guys should really be proud of your practice! God bless your kind hearts and your family, and I look forward to seeing you guys in the future."
"While some of my friends recall their 'birth stories' and say that they didn't see their doctors until they were ready to push or, in some cases, their doctor wasn't on call so they had a strange doctor deliver their baby, Dr. James was there every step of the way. He always handled my anxiety with a calm humor that made it so easy to get through. His professionalism and bedside manner are unlike that of any other doctor I've encountered. I couldn't have been lucky enough to pick a better doctor for myself and my son - we are eternally appreciative. I don't know that I ever fully expressed our gratitude to Dr. James and his amazing staff, whose warm and friendly faces I missed so much in the months following Kevin's birth. Dr. James, you should be so very proud of the care that you and your team provide - I am proud to be a patient!" - Nicole and Kevin
"Dr. James has a wonderful bedside manner. He was able to answer all my questions, make me feel comfortable and explain everything in an easy to understand manner. His staff is warm, friendly and caring. It is not every day that you meet a doctor that ACTUALLY cares about his patients and their health. I felt like he had all the time in the world for me and my issues." - Marla
"Dr. James took over the practice from my original doctor who delivered my first two children. I wasn't expecting or planning a 3rd, but had a wonderful "oops" baby and he delivered our 3rd. He was exactly what I needed in a doctor. He goes beyond the typical quick office visit and always inquires about all aspects of my health and emotional state. He's a rare gem and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him!"
"Dr. James was my OB/GYN in NYC. He was the one who took care of me before, during and after my pregnancy with my son. He delivered him via C-Section and you can't even find the scar. My child is now almost 10 years old. I greatly miss Dr. James and wish he could help me find someone like him. A true treasure.
If I could afford to fly to California for check-ups I would. Just want to let you know that you are the best!" - Sharon
"Today is my daughter's 2nd birthday and of course my husband and I reminisced about her crazy birth day and all the excitement that went with it.
I still tell the story quite frequently, how we called you at 6:18pm from our house, drove like crazy to the hospital and had the baby at 6:32pm in the ER and... you made it! I distinctly remember being rushed into the ER, lying down and thinking how ironic after all the research I did to find a new doctor mid-pregnancy, all the books, pre-natal yoga, appointments, etc and how it all didn't matter because whoever was in the ER was going to deliver my baby. I remember saying "there's no way our doctor will make it" and not one second later, you walked in. I will never forget how relieved and safe I felt - like everything was working out exactly like it was supposed to.
So, thank you for making such an effort that day and thank you for watching over my pregnancy and delivering our daughter safely. Thank you for listening to our questions and requests. I know the outcome would have likely been the same regardless of who delivered her, but I am really appreciative and grateful that it was you. She is the most precious thing we've ever known. We are thankful for her every day but today, we are especially thankful for you and your practice. I can only imagine I'm one of hundreds (thousands?) of your patients that feel the same way, but I doubt you hear it as often as people think it." - Kerri
"He is not only AMAZING, I couldn't have asked for better care. I'm thankful to have come across such a doctor. I was extremely happy with my prenatal care and birth experience. His staff is great as well. I can't say enough good things about this practice. I always left my appointments very happy. Thank you guys!" - Vsmom
"I had put off finding a new doctors since moving to CA from Hawaii... then my husband & I were blessed with our first pregnancy. Finding an OBGYN became a huge priority. We met Dr. James & my search stopped with him. The staff is friendly and making appointments were so quick/easy, rescheduling was never an issue, the wait time was short & the office is clean. I was very happy with my prenatal care and even more happy with my birthing experience. Once the active labor set in, I was a little scared but Dr. James helped me feel at ease and was there to monitor my labor. My body didn't adjust to accommodate the baby's size for natural delivery so we had a cesarean. Dr. James stopped in each day while I was in the hospital. We plan on making our family bigger in the future & plan on continuing my care with Dr. James. In short, Dr. James comes across as professional, knowledgeable, caring & to boot... witty (which I appreciate a lot)." - Asianmamacc
"I can't say enough good things about Dr. James and his staff! He is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, always professional, with a personal touch and a great sense of humor. His office is everything you could want in a doctor's office: friendly and helpful staff, ease in scheduling, appointments that run on time, a beautiful office to visit, and a great doctor that takes the time to talk to each patient and answer any questions. I also appreciate that he is a solo practitioner and not part of a group, as so many are in OC. I wouldn't go anywhere else and recommend him to friends and patients all the time." - Hanks Orthodontics
"Dr. James and his staff are truly awesome! From the moment you enter the office, his professional and attentive staff reach out and welcome you like a guest; and once you meet Dr James, you know instantly where that respect and attentiveness stem from. Dr. James is professional, exceptionally well-versed, and has a wonderful style that he uses to break down fears and uncertaintly by communicating to his patients in terms they can clearly understand and appreciate. I know I certainly do. Dr. James has delivered both of my children and it is a pleasure to have a professional such as himself as my OBGYN." - Ccech
"Patrick and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for delivering our first child, Chloe. The personal care you gave meant so much to us. A c-section was not our ideal labor plan but even though it came down to that, we knew we were in good hands. We look forward to the care and attention you and your office staff offer so effortlessly when we think about baby number two. It won't be too soon. :) " - Patrick and Nicole
"Dr. James delivered my last baby. I like everything about him and would go to him again. He is very open and didn't push for any additional medications or procedures when the baby was born. I had no complications and was overall pleased with my experience. The really nice thing about this doctor is that he is always on time and you rarely have to wait." - Holly
"I wanted to thank you once more for all care and attention you gave to me and the baby. Your kindness, calmness, gentleness, humor and support made me feel relaxed, confident and positive during my whole labor process. I was told you were the best by two completely separate women and it proved to be true; you are the best OB/GYN in Orange County. I had a perfect and fast labor and healing process because of you. It went better than I could have ever imagined! Also, thank you to your wonderful staff for always being so patient, kind and helpful with everything - you have a wonderful team! Thanks for helping deliver the best gift I have ever received!" - Jenny
"Our family thanks each and every one of you for the attention that I recieved and for always making us feel like a part of your family! When we got to the hospital, I can remember how scared I was. I was crying, but as I was leaning over, Dr. James came over to me and said to trust him, and a sudden calmness came over me. It was then I knew I was in great hands. It is vary rare that you find not only a Doctor but an office staff as well who treats you so kindly as well as putting all your fears into perspective, and who is consistent with following up every single time they said they would. You and your office staff have always gone above and beyond what I could ever have expected or imagined. Thank you!" - Oliver and Cathy
"Thank you again for such a great experience at Laguna Beach OBGYN. As this was our first pregnancy, we really appreciated your support and expertise. Thank you for putting us at ease throughout the pregnancy and for a happy, healthy, and safe delivery. We are so thankful for our little blessing and for all that you have done for us." - Sylvia, Derek, and Sebastian
"I just wanted to thank you so much for being such an amazing doctor. I don't think I truly appreciated how great you were until I went to an appointment last week with another doctor - they made me wait an hour for my appointment and stuck me with an intern for my first visit. I found so many women raving about their positive experiences at your office and that is what led me to you!" - Jen
"I had the Novasure procedure done by Dr. James and I am so pleased to report I had no symptoms - no bleeding, no pain and no cramping. In addition, I have not had a period since! I appreciate the openness from Dr. James' staff to discuss the different options. Overall all I can say is thank you. I feel well-cared-for by Dr. James and all the staff at Laguna Beach OBGYN." - CB
"To all the absolutely amazing people at Laguna Beach OBGYN - we are fantastic over here at the Thompson household with baby Zoe. It's been such a smooth transition I couldn't have asked for more. I have to say with every child I have, the experience is more magical than the time before (if that is even possible). I am kinda getting a little bit obsessed :) I miss you guys - it feels really strange not coming in there and seeing all your beautiful faces!" - Rebecca
"Dr. James is the best doctor you can ever find. I switched from another OB doctor to him based on several recommendations from different doulas. I drove 1 hour from where I live to see him. He is kind, considerate and takes the time to get to know you. The first appointment he spent 15 minutes with me just getting to know me, my history and what kind of delivery I wanted. Another example of how nice he is, I brought my mom into one of my regular appointments and he spent extra time to show her the baby on the ultrasound.
He is also very knowledgeable (my husband is an OB doctor as well and was really impressed by him). Dr. James is supportive of natural birth. I had a very long labor, Dr. James was patient and gave me the time I needed. My husband told me if I delivered with anyone else I would have had a C-section.
My only complaint: I can't see him anymore now that I am not pregnant. I wish he was a family medicine doctor so that my son and I could see him indefinitely."
"I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant, and am so excited for the birth of our baby! I'm 100% dedicated to having a natural birth and have been doing my research, taking Bradley Method Classes, etc., but I don't feel totally supported in my goal by my current OB. From my research (Internet, doulas, other patients), you are the most talked about 'natural birth friendly' doctor in Orange County -- which is amazing! I would love to have you as my doctor!"
"After being a patient of Dr. Stoney's for more than 30 years, it was unsettling to have him retire - but by the end of my first appointment with Dr. James, I knew I was in not just competent but excellent hands."

Checking the Technicals
Global capital markets have experienced a strong start to the third quarter pushing many indices to new all-time highs. The next few weeks can clearly be defined as "the dog days of summer", as the large majority of companies have reported earnings and much of the relevant economic data has already been released. Therefore, investors and traders will be void of headline catalysts. With that in mind the relevancy of "technicals" elevates.
The S&P 500® Index (SPX) established a new all-time high (Figure 1.1) on August 2 at 1709.67. Subsequent trade has marginally corrected with 1687.18, the apparent target. This level will act as near-term support as it is now a critical "swing area". Previously 1687.18 was the all-time high established on May 22, 2013 acting as resistance during the June, "30 days of frustration". Finally, on July 18 strong earnings and a surprisingly strong Philly Fed fueled a rally through the May 22 high.
A deeper sustained decline, consecutive closes below 1687.18 over a three-day period, clears a path to the 50-day moving average at 1650.02 and July 11th's post FOMC minutes breakout level at 1652. The 100-day moving average rests at 1621.09 and the 200-day moving average rests at 1539.76. In between is the June 24th SPX trough at 1560.33.
The currency markets have been a leading indicator as to the direction of global indices. To that point, I would focus on the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen.
Over the past few sessions the Japanese Yen (Figure 1.2) has mildly appreciated which is counter to its prevailing 2013 bear trend and stalls the tailwind that a declining yen has provided for global capital markets. Investors will be watching to previous trough levels from April 2, 2013 at 92.57 and June 13, 2013 at 93.79. Also, layered within those levels is the 200-day moving average at 93.26. The Yen (Figure 1.3) has not violated the 200-day moving average since investors were provided the clarity that Shinzo Abe would become the Japanese prime minister.
Finally, the U.S. Dollar has appreciated 2.3% year to date. Further, U.S. Dollar strength signals an acceleration of economic growth and will support further Russell 2000® Index (RTY) outperformance. However, the dollar is weakening since its July 9, 2013 three-year high at 84.753. Keep an eye below the market on a key support area between 78.50 & 79.25. This range (Figure 1.4) provided the "foundation" during the Fall of 2012 for the 2013 dollar advance.

Consumers to Receive Timely Food Safety Alerts Through State Twitter Feeds
March 5, 2012 - Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) launched a series of Twitter feeds that will provide state-specific, food safety alerts to consumers. Followers of these Twitter accounts will receive alerts about recalls of meat, poultry and processed egg products in their state, as well as information on how to protect their food supply during severe weather events.
Twitter feeds for all U.S. states and territories will officially launch during the first week of March.
"These new Twitter feeds provide yet another mechanism for us to provide consumers with critical updates and relevant information they need to protect their families from foodborne illness," USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Elisabeth Hagen said. "The immediacy of information-sharing through social media is unparalleled, and we believe these timely, targeted updates will better protect public health."
The FSIS state food safety alert Twitter feeds for MA and CT are: CT_FSISAlert (Connecticut), MA_FSISAlert (Massachusetts). A list of all FSIS state food safety alert Twitter feeds is available at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fsis_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp#Twitter
Currently, recalls are announced through news releases and FSIS' primary Twitter feed, @USDAFoodSafety which contains information to help consumers identify the recalled product. To further enhance this notification process FSIS developed these state feeds to provide information to people directly affected by a recall.

What's a Healthy Way to Eat?

Protein Group
This grouping contains foods rich in protein, including meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, tofu, beans, nuts and legumes. They supply the amino acids needed to build the tissues of the body—most famously, muscle tissue. Note, too, that a little protein added to a meal can really make it more satisfying, so if you're having trouble with between-meal hunger pangs, try to incorporate a portion of protein into each meal: a tablespoon of chopped almonds on your morning oatmeal, some shredded chicken breast on your lunch salad, and a cup of bean soup at dinner, for example.
Fat is very energy-dense, so lean protein sources are your best bet to keep calories low. Trim skin from poultry and choose lean meat cuts like the various types of loin and sirloin. The only exception to the "lean is better" rule is with fatty fish like salmon, tuna and sardines, because the fat they contain is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. That's why the American Heart Association recommends getting two 3-ounce servings of fish per week—"preferably fatty fish." Also, try to include some vegetable sources of protein in your diet regularly, to get a good dose of fiber along with your protein. Beans and soyfoods like tofu, tempeh and meat substitutes are terrific. Nuts are excellent protein sources, but quite high in calories, so pay attention to the relatively small size of a single serving: just 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and a small handful of nuts (14 almonds), for example.

Sporting Chance
Nothing announces the start of the snowriding season like Warren Miller's annual late-fall film extravaganza, and this year is no exception.
Storm, Miller's 53rd adventure epic, takes moviegoers on screaming rides down vertical cliffs in our own back yards of Breckenridge, Aspen and Steamboat. It also ventures up the steep peaks of the Austrian Alps, through the crevassed chutes of Valdez, Alaska and to the wind-whipped ice caps of South Georgia Island, finishing up off the coast of Antarctica. "These films are an institution," says Kurt Miller, the filmmaker's son and Storm's executive producer. "We always get people who are passionate about the outdoors psyched for the upcoming season."
Braving exotic, and sometimes inhospitable, locales, Miller's camera crews captured over fifty of the world's best snow-cutting athletes fleeing cascading avalanches and battling nasty whiteouts, even toughing out a California Marine boot camp that specializes in mountaineer training. "The things that our crews are skiing on are so far out there, so extreme, that the average athlete would be terrified to even approach the mountain," Miller guarantees. "People are going to be gasping, screaming and applauding in their seats."
But mostly, Storm is a celebration of heli-skiing, backcountry runs and fresh powder. (Thank heaven it's already dumping.) The film will screen at least twice daily at the Paramount Theatre (1621 Glenarm Place, 303-534-8336), Thursday, November 14, through Sunday, November 19. Tickets, available at www.ticketmaster.com or 303-830-8497, are $15 and include a free Copper Mountain lift ticket. For further information, visit www.warrenmiller.com.

One very common cause of bleeding from the rectum is hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are actually veins in the rectum that have become swollen. They may cause pain, itching, and bright red blood on the stool or on the toilet paper, although many do not cause any symptoms at all. Hemorrhoids are typically not serious and can be treated at home. They should be investigated by a physician in the case that they are causing a large amount of bleeding or if they aren't getting any better after being treated.

Remember, when there is visible blood in the toilet, coating the stool or on the toilet paper, you should be seen by a doctor. This is because there is a possibility of losing so much blood that the situation becomes dangerous, or that the bleeding is from a serious condition like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or cancer.

Diverticular disease is very common; as many as half of all people over age 60 have signs of diverticular disease. Diverticulosis is the presence of weak spots on the wall of the large intestine that develop into pockets. These outpouchings are called diverticula (a singular outpouch is called a diverticulum), and they generally don't produce any symptoms at all. You might not know they were there unless one or more of them get infected, which is then called diverticulitis. Diverticulitis might make a person very sick and cause abdominal pain. In rare cases, the diverticula might bleed. The blood could be found in or on the stool, or bleeding could happen even without a bowel movement. Diverticular disease could cause quite a bit of bleeding and might or might not need treatment, but people with this condition should always see a physician if there is bleeding.

An anal fissure could be a complication of Crohn's disease or of childbirth, or it could be caused by hemorrhoids that have ulcerated or straining from severe constipation. This tear in the anal canal could cause bright red blood in the stool or on the toilet paper, but also pain during bowel movements. Most fissures are acute, will respond to non-invasive therapies that can be done at home and won't come back. A fissure that becomes chronic and is resistant to heal may need more intensive treatment, such as surgery.

One source of bleeding from the rectum is colon cancer. Colon cancer starts with polyps—outcroppings on the inside wall of the colon. Bleeding from colon polyps might not be visible to the naked eye, and most polyps don't bleed at all. Therefore, polyps could be growing in the colon without causing any signs or symptoms at all. Bleeding is a sign of colon cancer, but it might not appear until the cancer is in a more advanced stage. When polyps are removed during a colonoscopy, there is no chance of them developing into cancer.

Rectal bleeding due to IBD is more common with ulcerative colitis than it is with Crohn's disease. Bleeding tends to be a hallmark sign of ulcerative colitis because, in this form of IBD, the inflammation begins at the end of the colon, in the rectum. Crohn's disease in the colon, particularly in the rectum, could also lead to visible blood on or in the stool. The blood coming from the ulceration in the colon that is from these diseases is often fresh, so it tends to be a brighter red in color. In the case of ulcerative colitis, there might be bowel movements that are mainly just blood. Blood from higher up in the digestive tract tends to be darker in color and might not be as visible in the stool.

Influence on alignment of Pensil termius area
I have managed to make the terminus area on my Pensil 10.2 boxes a bit too large: they are 37.5mm high instead of 35mm. the size of the terminus area is now 7612 mm2 instead of 7100 mm2. What does this mean for the alignment of the loudspeakers?
Hi, ~ the square root of the error, in this case = tuned ~ 4% higher, nothing to worry about, rgds, sreten.

My special place(s)
- Home. It doesn't matter where home is, as long as my family is there.

The law becomes effective July 1, 2014, when the Board of Animal Health (BAH) will begin registering commercial dog and cat breeders who fall under the bill's language. Within one year, the BAH will be required to annually inspect those breeders and any new breeders that set up facilities covered under the law (they can also begin inspections starting July 1, 2014, if they choose). The BAH will then license those breeders who are in compliance with existing animal welfare laws and additional provisions just passed into law.
Licensing – requires commercial dog and cat breeders in Minnesota to be licensed in order to operate and sell dogs and cats in the State of Minnesota
Inspections and Enforcement – gives legal authority to the Board of Animal Health to inspect commercial dog and cat breeding facilities annually and enforce existing state laws and new laws to ensure animal care standards are met
Penalties – imposes civil, administrative and criminal penalties for those who violate the law.
Other provisions in the bill include:
Please feel free to thank the following people for making this a reality in the State of Minnesota:
AHS worked to pass the breeder bill as part of the Speak Up for Minnesota Dogs and Cats coalition, which includes A Rotta Love Plus, Animal Folks MN, Animal Humane Society, Minnesota Animal Control Association, Minnesota Humane Society, Minnesota Voters for Animal Protection, Minnkota Persian Rescue, Pause 4 Paws, Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota, Retrieve A Golden of Minnesota, Second Chance Animal Rescue, and Tri-County Humane Society.
These legislative efforts are also supported by numerous other organizations and individuals, including the Animal Law Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association, veterinarians, law enforcement, prosecutors, humane agents, animal control, rescue groups, animal shelters, breeders, businesses, and countless citizens throughout Minnesota.
