My male GSD is 39.2 kg and under weight 20 months old
3 Attachment(s)
I took my dog to the vet to weigh him because I noticed I could see his ribs when he is running. He weighed in at 39.2 kg down from 41.1 kg a couple of months ago, could only see the last rib when he was 41.1 kg.
He is wormed (of course) and has about 600 grams of dry food (Supercoat) in the morning and about 800 grams of fresh beef or chicken wings or necks (usually a mix) I don't feed him much tinned food at all.
We have been exercising him more so I think I will bump his food quantity up to perhaps the usual 600 grams of dry food but increase to 1 kg of fresh meat.
I've attached some photos of him taken today. In the first photo he was stretching....it's not an exaggerated croup. I think he looks a bit under weight at present, he is 20 months old and has lost a lot of his black on his back....**** :(
I bought him as a black and tan but he seems to have a black and tan head with a Sable body :)
The vet said that due to his large size he would be better off at 45 kg.....that's a big GSD.

Here is a couple of photos demonstrating his size taken with my 12 year old daughter and 14 year old son, he loves a big hug, he's a lovely boy :)
In the pictures he looks to be in great shape. I woudn't be so concerned with his weight on a scale, and just go by body condition. You could increase his food a bit if you want, but seeing a few ribs on your GSD is fine. They are supposed to be lean and athletic dogs.
He is a very good looking boy, he appears to be healthy and muscular.
He looks good to me. The number isn't important, your dog should look healthy. I see ribs on my pup when he runs too, and he's very athletic, lean, and healthy. If your dog continues to lose and you'd like him to maintain, then you could increase the food a little or add some extra calories in other ways.

I think he looks good too.
But I know I DO adjust my dogs food during the year. Summer + more exercise so a bit more food. Winter + less exercise so I cut them back a bit. I LOOK at my dogs though more than the # when they are weighed.
41.1 kg = 90 pounds

Mother of all deals: buy one baby, get four free
Page Tools
New York: With her stomach stretched to the size of a beach ball, Teresa Anderson is reminded every day of the surrogacy deal that she hoped would swell her family budget.
The Arizona mother of four is in the late stages of a pregnancy that will deliver five babies to a childless couple who would have been happy with one.
Doctors say the quintuplets, the world's largest known multiple surrogate pregnancy, are all doing well, although one will need heart surgery after birth. The same cannot be said of Mrs Anderson, who complains of "five times the swelling and five time the mood swings. My back is strained. It's hard to walk. Breathing is even a problem."
At 25, Mrs Anderson has four children of her own, including two she gave up for adoption as an unmarried teenager. After making a deal with Luisa and Enrique Gonzales, she was implanted with several foetuses, with a 30 per cent chance of a single pregnancy.
She met the couple after they advertised on a surrogacy website. Mrs Anderson, a nursing student, convinced her postman husband, Jared, that it would be an easy way to earn $US15,000 ($19,500) since in her words, "I was just going to be pregnant".
Mrs Gonzales had been trying to conceive for nine years.
It was during a routine ultrasound in January, with Mrs Gonzales, 32, at her side, that doctors broke the news. As the number of heartbeats grew, both women burst into tears, with Mrs Gonzales moaning: "I just wanted one," and Mrs Anderson crying "Sorry".
Now 31 weeks pregnant, Mrs Anderson will deliver the babies, all boys, by caesarean section at the end of the month.
The pregnancy has taken its toll. At 1.7 metres she has gained 32 kilograms and can hardly stand, and sleep is almost impossible. Her two- and three-year-old daughters are living with her mother-in-law because she can no longer look after them.
The Andersons have decided not to charge the surrogacy fee. "She has five children coming to her, and that is not cheap at all," Mrs Anderson said.

If nothing else, North Hills developer John Kane has put Mayor Meeker over a political barrel.
Mr. Kane has asked the City Council to agree to provide $75 million in public financing to help him build a parking deck at North Hills. Mayor Meeker, apparently, doesn't want to do that. But he has a problem. He's already supported millions in subsidies for businesses downtown, so how can he turn Kane down without it looking like he has a double standard. That he's for subsidies downtown but no where else.
At first, the Mayor's allies on the Council tried to get out of the corner Mr. Kane put them in by arguing that public subsidies – like Mr. Kane's – ought only to go to businesses in blighted areas. But that won't fly because, after all, how did subsidizing a new Marriott Hotel downtown help the poor?
Next the City Council said that before it decides on Mr. Kane's proposal it needs to conduct a study to establish a new set of rules and policies to govern public financing of private businesses.
But, the Mayor and his allies on the City Council didn't feel the need for a study, or new policies, when they subsidized a hotel, supermarket and restaurant downtown. The Mayor's study is a political dodge. A nice long study gets Mayor Meeker and company off the hook. It's a way for them to tell John Kane no without, well, really telling him no.
The bottom line for Mr. Kane is simple: He might as well give up. That study is as good as a no. For Mayor Meeker it's better than a no. It's a way for him to turn Kane down without having to explain why he supports subsidies for businesses downtown – but not a few miles away at North Hills.

Put simply, you can't. Warnings are permanent and will only be removed under one of the two circumstances:
1) The warning was INVALID. This means that the warning was for something you did not do/say. Nothing else is acceptable as 'invalid'. If the warning IS INVALID, you must appeal this on the appeal section of the website: http://www.team-neo.com NOT in this forum.
2) You donate specifically for the "warning reset" option on the donation page.
You will NOT be unwarned for any other circumstance no matter how long or what the crime was.

From The Desk Of PSFK Consulting: Getting Away The Right Way With New Curated Travel Services
PSFK's Director of Consulting discusses how the travel industry is now aiming to inject a level of personalization and relevancy back into the online vacation planning process.
Each week, PSFK's Director of Consulting, Scott Lachut, will serve up key insights about trends that he sees developing in our on- and offline lives.
With precious few weeks of summer remaining before the kids get back from camp and early Friday afternoons become a thing of the past, there seems no better time to plan one last seasonal escape, but how best to ensure that this last getaway exceeds all expectations? In recent years, the travel industry has been turned on its head thanks to a bevy of trip planning and booking tools that allow individuals to find the best deals on hotels and flights, largely replacing the need for actual agents, albeit at the cost of human advice and expertise that can make the difference between a few days off and a memorable vacation.
In an effort to reverse that trend, while simultaneously transforming the classic image of a travel agent from blue blazer-ed, headset wearers into digital-savvy, lifestyle experts, three new sites are building partnerships with online media channels and respected travel professionals to offer tailored suggestions on where to visit based on individual interests and preferences. These services are particularly noteworthy because they're foregoing automated algorithms (recently compared to echo chambers and mediators of culture), in favor of a human touch.
Wanderfly has expanded its current recommendation model, based on individual budgets, time frames and tastes, with its Wanderlists feature, which asks cultural sites like Flavorpill and Urban Daddy to weigh in on the best destinations for activities like music and nightlife. From these handpicked lists, members can view estimated budgets and book their chosen trips. For those seeking a bit more one-on-one attention, Gilt's flash travel site Jetsetter and NYC-based start-up Fortnighter are connecting upscale tourists with exclusive travel journalists and correspondents to help them design the perfect itinerary for any interest from food to outdoor adventures, with up-to-date tips and insider advice that can't be found in a typical off-the-shelf guidebook. Both sites charge between $150-200 for their respective consultations.
For those travelers who are seeking vacations with more flexibility and a bit of targeted serendipity, while saving a few dollars in the process, several sites are integrating local deals into their business models, giving people the ability to experience their destinations on a budget. These services are leveraging the targeted customer data associated with direct bookings or shared travel intent to provide travelers with special offers that coincide with their visits.
Delta Airlines, who is already selling tickets directly through Facebook, has begun providing location-specific deals via Living Social to customers who book flights. While gtrot, a social travel service that allows people to connect with friends through Facebook to share upcoming trips and travel advice, aggregates relevant deals across multiple platforms like Groupon and BuyWithMe based on current itineraries. In an effort to go beyond prepackaged deals in order to deliver a greater level of individual attention, Flextrip, an online marketplace for tours and adventure activities, connects local operators with potential customers who are visiting their area, allowing them to send targeted offers about available services.
Given the current drive to develop smarter curation tools to help people deal with the deluge of available information in everything from news and entertainment to shopping and even relationships, it seems only natural that the travel industry would follow suit with a number of new services that are attempting to inject a level of personalization and relevancy back into the online vacation planning process, helping people discover new places and uncover surprises while they're there.

Fairfax Symphony Orchestra—Video Podcasts
Personalizing pre-concert lectures into video podcasts and introducing the audience to soloists.
The Setting:
The Fairfax Symphony Orchestra is nestled into the technological epicenter of Northern Virginia. In an area that has been named the Silicon Valley of the east coast, the FSO is matching technological pace with its community. The orchestra began to use video podcasts to connect with the local community and reach younger patrons, drawing 30-year-olds into the hall. The video podcasts will also be used in the FSO's Classical Kids' Club, a multi-media education program for elementary schools that is designed to meet Virginia curriculum standards. The Kids' Club will now add video Podcasts to its pre-performance study guide materials.
In the Works:
Assistant Conductor Glenn Quader is responsible for creating the video podcasts and determining their content. The inaugural video podcast features piano soloist Santiago Rodriguez, featured artist with FSO at their season opening concert on September 16, 2006. As Maestro Quader developed the video podcast, he used several different programs, all working on the Mac platform. After recording the initial video feed, he moved the video into Final Cut (iMovie can also be used) for editing. Next, he worked in Keynote to facilitate professional-looking transitions through a simple drag-and-drop process. The files were then loaded into Garage Band to allow for voice-overs or equalization (to ensure different musical samples are all at the same volume). Once the video was finalized, Mr. Quader used iWeb to create the proper file format, and to ensure the RSS feed was programmed properly for submitting to iTunes. Because all programs are proprietary with Mac, switching from one program to another is seamless; the move from Final Cut to Keynote to Garage Band to iWeb is all integrated. Quader figures that 6-10 hours are spent from start to finish on each Podcast episode.
The first video podcast went live in late July 2006. Subsequent episodes were added in August. These are available on iTunes and on the Fairfax Symphony's website. FSO podcast subscribers will receive updates automatically. In the last several seasons, the orchestra has often sent bulk e-mails of news and events. The e-mail featuring the podcast has been the most opened, and the most clicked through e-mail to date (i.e. people clicked on the link to arrive at the FSO podcasting page). The FSO hopes the video podcasts will have a direct impact on ticket sales and serve as a new tool for student and adult education. Stay tuned for updates.

Canvas Print
"The Hidden World Within"by Davidmichaelchandler
Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.
Everyone has their own world, existing inside
Some try to escape it, and some stay in and hide.
Populated by secrets, lies, and all that you regret
Things you won't ever tell anyone but can't ever forget
Towering peaks and deep valleys, growing as each day is new
Continents of memories, everything that makes you, You.
No two worlds are the same, each one is unique.
And no matter how much you share, others only get a peek.

Come along on this video journey as we speak with McIntosh about the madrigal banquet and take a sneak peak at the mellifluous, multi-course banquet.Continue Reading →
Ranch to Table at Venetucci Farm

Very few people in the US ever get the opportunity to have a literal ranch-to-table experience and we highly recommend this for those who want to have a more complete understanding of how their meat can be processed in a humane and healthy way on the land where it was raised by a person who lives in our community.Continue Reading →

On Saturday, the Emmys handed out the less high-profile television awards at the Creative Arts Emmys in advance of the Primetime ceremony this coming Monday. Big winners for the Creative Arts awards included Saturday Night Live, True Detective, Game of Thrones, and Orange Is the New Black.
There was no one show that swept a huge amount of trophies, with Saturday Night Live coming out on top taking home five awards, followed by True Detective, Game of Thrones, Sherlock: His Last Vow, and Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey with four a piece. The most exciting category of the evening was outstanding guest actress in a comedy series, which saw three actresses from Orange Is the New Black up against Joan Cusack, Tina Fey, and Melissa McCarthy. Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba ended up taking home the trophy for her role as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren on the hit Netflix prison dramedy.
The Creative Arts Emmys are important for two reasons. One, they honor the less glamorous behind-the-scenes work that is crucial for all television series and represents some fine creative achievements — the gorgeous and chilling opening sequence to True Detective comes to mind. The other reason is the Creative Arts awards can give us hints about which series are going to win big at the upcoming Primetime ceremony, which gets all the fanfare and hands out the most anticipated prizes.
One big question going into the Primetime Emmys has been whether newcomer True Detective will beat out the final season of Emmy favorite Breaking Bad in the key drama categories. It was a big upset when True Detective was entered as a drama rather than a miniseries, throwing what's possibly the most talked-about show of the year into the ring against Emmy voters' last chance to honor Bryan Cranston and company.
There's fairly universal consensus that Matthew McConaughey is a shoe-in for the outstanding actor in a drama Emmy award for his role as Rustin Cole on True Detective. That performance is considered to be the best of the actor's career, and he's just coming off an Oscar win for last year's Dallas Buyer's Club. While the Television Critic's Association chose to give its top prize to the final season of Breaking Bad over True Detective earlier this summer, True Detective's multiple wins at the Creative Arts Emmys could indicate that the new kid on the block will beat out the old favorite at the Primetime Emmys this coming weekend.

At sea. Aviva Challenge: Watermaker failure a potential threat to Dee Caffaris record attempt @ BYM Sailing News
Solo yachtswoman Dee Caffari is facing a potential threat to her record attempt this afternoon as she and her shore team struggle to fix Aviva's broken watermaker.

Mr Richard Charles John Paice
Richard Charles John Paice was born in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England in early 1880, his birth being registered in the first quarter of that year,
He was the son of George Paice (b. 1854), a police constable, and Lucy Elizabeth Spearing (1843-1933). Both his parents hailed from Bishops Waltham in Hampshire and had married in 1879, going on to have five children: Frederick R. (b. 1877), Richard (b. 1880), Rosalind Lucy (b. 1884), Edith Sarah (b. 1887) and Louise Marguerite (b. 1888).
Richard first appears on the 1881 census and at the time he and his family were living at Back Lane, Herriard, near Basingstoke, Hampshire. His father apparently left his duties as a Police Officer and went to sea as a fireman, being absent from the 1891 census when his family were resident at Spring Road in Sholing, Southampton. The family later moved to 3 Drummond Road, Southampton and would be listed here on the 1901 census. Richard is absent and perhaps already at sea.
Richard was married in St John the Evangelist Church, Lambeth, London on Christmas Day 1901 to Louisa Sarah Luker, (b. 1879 in Stepney, London, daughter of Charles and Emma Luker) and he was described as a labourer at the time. The couple would have no children.
On the 1911 census Richard is absent from home and perhaps at sea but his wife is living at 30 Houndwell Gardens, All Saints, Southampton.
When he signed on to the Titanic, on 6 April 1912, Richard gave his address as 30 Houndwell Gardens, (Southampton). His previous ship had been the Oceanic and as a fireman he could expect to earn monthly wages of £6.
Richard Paice died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.
His widow Louisa was remarried the following year to Harry Bratcher (1885-1924) and had one son, also named Harry, shortly after. She remained in Southampton where she died in 1923 aged 43.

There are the usual interview dos: Show up on time. Dress appropriately. Be nice to the receptionist.
The Daily Muse has dug up several lesser-known but very important don'ts to help you make the best first impression. Yes, the IT job market is great, but that doesn't mean you can just walk in and claim any position you please. There will always be competition, and paying attention to the details could give you the edge over another candidate. After all, who isn't impressed by an IT pro who loves details?
Bring only the essentials
Picture this: You walk into reception, make nice with the receptionist and he or she offers you a drink. You kindly accept the coffee, get halfway through it and your interviewer shows up.
"Don't bring your paper cup inside the office to finish off the last few sips," advises Daily Muse's Katie Douthwaite. "Sure, it doesn't seem like a huge deal…but you probably don't want your first interaction with your potential employer (or even the receptionist) to be anything along the lines of, 'Hey, you got a trash can back there?' "
The same goes for chewing gum, snack, etc., she says. Bring nothing into the waiting area. Remember, a person makes a first impression in about 6 seconds. Do you want to make yours as the guy looking for the trash?
Put your phone away
Go anywhere today and if anyone over age 12 is standing or sitting unoccupied for more than 2 seconds, a phone is in their hands. Douthwaite advises you avoid the temptation in the reception area.
"Take that time to look over your resume and think through what you want to convey during your interview. Then, when your interviewer makes his or her appearance, you won't be caught off guard, shutting down Angry Birds and stuffing your phone back into your briefcase," she says.
Think about how refreshing that would look to an interviewer. You want to look smooth, polished and prepared. If you're trying to shut off your ringer, end an app or finish a text, you're none of the above.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
1988 film by Robert Zemeckis
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 film that combines animation and live action. The film takes place in Los Angeles in 1947, where animated characters (always referred to as "Toons") are real beings who live and work alongside humans in the real world, most of them as actors in animated cartoons.
- Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman, based on the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary Wolf.
Roger RabbitEdit
- My whole purpose in life is to... make... people... laugh!
- Is there nothing that can permeate your impervious puss? Hey, Eddie!
Eddie ValiantEdit
- Scotch on the rocks. And I mean ice!
- [to Earl, who recently got laid off] Here's to the pencil pushers. May they all get lead poisoning.
Judge DoomEdit
- [after showing Eddie his true form: A toon; as his voice grows higher-pitched every second] Remember me, Eddie?! When I killed your brother, I talked just... like... THIS!
- Jessica: You don't know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.
- Eddie: You don't know how hard it is being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.
- Jessica: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
- [after the weasels have searched Eddie and Jessica for the will, but have failed]
- Doom: Do they have the will or not?
- Smart Ass: Nah, just a stupid love letter.
- Doom: No matter. I doubt if that will is going to show up in the next 15 minutes, anyway.
- Eddie: What happens in the next 15 minutes?
- Doom: Toontown will be legally mine--lock, stock, and barrel.
- Eddie: D'you mean to tell me you could've taken your hand outta that cuff at any time?!
- Roger: No. Not at any time. Only when it was funny. Bl-bl-bl-! [jumps away as Eddie tries to hit him and spins in a chair] C'mon, Eddie! Where's your sense of humor?
- Dolores: Is he always this funny or only on days when he's wanted for murder?
- Smart Ass: Say, Judge. You want we should "disresemble" the place?
- Doom: No, Sergeant. Disassembling the place won't be necessary. The rabbit is going to come right to me.
- [he taps "Shave and a Haircut" on counter]
- Doom: No toon can resist the old Shave-and-a-Haircut trick. (taps "Shave and a Haircut" a few times)
- Eddie: I don't know who's toonier; you or Doom.
- [Roger starts freaking out]
- Eddie: Roger!
- [Doom taps "Shave and a Haircut"; Roger freaks out even more]
- Eddie: Roger! Roger, no!
- [Doom taps "Shave and a Haircut" again; Roger violently freaks out to his limits]
- Doom: Shave and a haircut.
- [Roger crashes through the wall]
- Roger: 2 BITS!!
- Eddie: Happy Trails.
- Roger: No, thanks, Eddie. I'm tryin' to cut down.
- Eddie: Drink the drink!
- Roger: But I don't want the drink!
- Doom: He doesn't want the drink.
- Eddie: He does!
- Roger: I don't!
- Eddie: You do!
- Roger: I don't!
- Eddie: You do!
- Roger: I don't!
- Eddie: You do!
- Roger: I don't!
- Eddie: You don't.
- Roger: I do!
- Eddie: You don't!
- Roger: I do!
- Eddie: You don't!
- Roger: [takes the drink] Listen! When I say "I do", that means I do!
About Who Framed Roger RabbitEdit
- You know in pre-video and pre-VHS and VCR and stuff, people used to put little inside jokes in films because things were running at 1/24 of a second. So you say, 'Well, nobody's seeing anything.' ... And then so [cartoonists] will do that as a joke.
- But really since the modern age of playing back stuff and everything, they look at everything now, even the old films. They'll go frame by frame, and they'll pull those questionable things out all the time.

Groups opposing president Francois Hollande's plan to legalise gay marriage and adoption took to the streets across France today.
Mr Hollande said he would enact his "marriage for everyone" plan within a year of coming to power in May, but vocal opposition from religious leaders, some politicians and parts of rural France has divided the country.
Today's protest, called the March for Everyone, included pro-family and Catholic groups. Several thousand people marched in Paris, carrying signs with slogans such as "One child (equals) one father + one mother."
Their final destination was the Invalides monument, the final resting place of Napeolon Bonaparte, the French leader who invented the country's prized civil code, which is still in force today.
It states that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, a point the gay marriage bill seeks to overturn. Another reform would be to replace the entries in a child's registry book from "father" and "mother" to "parent 1" and "parent 2".
Elsewhere, France's largest demonstrations - estimated to be several thousand people strong - took place in Toulouse and France's second city, Lyon.
The marches had a dress code of blue, white and pink - putting a spin on the French flag's traditional colours of blue, white and red.
A recent survey found that most French favour gay marriage, while support for adoption by gay couples hovers at around 50 per cent.

Corby lawyer casts doubt on police case
Page Tools
The lawyer for an Australian woman facing a possible death sentence for allegedly smuggling drugs into Bali has questioned the strength of the police case, saying Indonesian prosecutors have demanded more evidence.
Lily Lubis said today that prosecutors had returned documents to police and demanded they beef up the case against Gold Coast beauty therapy student Schapelle Leigh Corby.
"Why is that? We don't know yet. We'd like to know what the opinion looks like," she said.
But the head of Bali's drug squad, Lieutenant-Colonel Bambang Sugiarto denied there were holes opening up in the police evidence and said the file was still with the prosecutor.
"Officially it has not been returned yet," he said.
Corby was arrested at Denpasar airport on October 8 after 4.1kg of high-grade cannabis was allegedly found in her unlocked bodyboard bag after arriving on a flight from Brisbane via Sydney.
Indonesian police said it was the largest quantity of cannabis ever seized in this way in Bali and vowed they would push for the toughest possible penalty as a deterrent to other drug smugglers.
Lubis said there might be problems with the police case because prosecutors had demanded fine-tuning.
But such requests are common in Indonesia's legal system, where prosecutors work closely with police before announcing detailed charges.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said yesterday Australia would seek clemency if Corby was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad.
But today Lubis warned Australia's government not to meddle nor push for leniency, calling instead for more cooperation from Canberra as Indonesian authorities prepared their case.
A clemency request could be counter-productive, she said.
"Up to now we believe she is not guilty. It means she didn't own the drugs," she said.
"So it's not clemency we want right now. To have her released is what we want.
"Leniency would mean that it is true and that they were her drugs and she asks for forgiveness."
Lubis said Corby's defence team wanted more help from Australia to prove the 27-year-old was innocent and that the drugs were stashed by someone seeking to use her as an unwitting courier.
"They must have a system that can detect whether the stuff was there since she was in Brisbane," she said.
"If there is goodwill from the Australian government, then help me prove Corby never carried that stuff from Brisbane."
Corby's sister Mercedes said X-ray scanners in Australia would have spotted the drugs if the bag had been checked through in Brisbane.
Corby has been been held in a cell at Denpasar police headquarters since her arrest after flying from Brisbane with two female friends and her younger brother for a two-week stay in Bali, where her sister lives.
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws.
Two Thai nationals were executed by firing squad last month after being found guilty of smuggling heroin into Indonesia a decade ago, while a 65-year-old Indian was shot in August after Indonesia's president turned down a clemency appeal.
An Italian caught last year in Bali with 2g of marijuana is serving two years in prison.

Damco is using river transport to move freight to and from the port of Chittagong.
Damco is the second of two Netherlands-based firms to make the JOC's Top 40 Global 3PLs list. It sits at No. 23 as a result of its $3.2 billion in revenue in 2013. Damco, the third-party logistics subsidiary of Maersk Group, provides freight forwarding and logistics solutions from its headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands.
Damco and its 11,400 employees operate out of 93 countries and 300 offices around the world. In 2013, Damco's revenue fell 1 percent to $3.21 billion from 2012's $3.23 billion. The company attributed this to restructuring, such as consolidating locations, and the implementation of a new information technology system to track orders.

Spencer Pratt: "I Thought We Got Married For Ratings"
Just one day removed from news that Heidi Montag filed her divorce papers, Spencer Pratt has since dubbed their reality TV marriage as "an act".
Talking about the legitimacy of their split, Pratt told People magazine, "I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world."
Continuing to dish about his failed marriage, Spencer took to his Twitter page on Saturday (July 31), writing, "Heidi left me seasons ago! This whole time I have really been married? I thought we did that for ratings?"
Currently claiming to be trying his luck as an artist, he added, "I got served with divorce papers? I thought that preacher at the wedding was one of the actors like my paid friends and family & exWIFE."
Meanwhile, the now-scruffy reality star also took time to plea with MTV to give him more work, tweeting, "I miss the sound stage @mtv I need my script back. Don't know how to live without producers guiding my storyline. I just want to be a reality superstar. Once these Shores boys are done I am on the bench coach ready to make ratings."

There is an amusing graphic in yesterday's Sunday Times:
The (full page) article is mainly about the presentation of policy. The thesis, based apparently on contacts with ministers and backbenchers, is that George Osborne was incompetent in dealing with Lib Dem demands. Facing electoral disaster, the Lib Dems have decided to be much less Tory-friendly in their behaviour. So Clegg demanded a package of soak-the-rick measures to balance the 5% cut in the top rate of income tax (50% to 45%). His preferred option was the "mansion tax" for which the Lib Dems lobbied hard. Osborne resisted that, but accepted a mish-mash of substitutes worked out on the "back-of-the-envelope" at the last minute, including the limit on tax relief for charitable donations by the rich. He failed to think through the political implications, and to make matters worse swanned off on an overseas trip just before the budget.
I am in no position to judge how factually accurate these kind of leaks/briefings are, but it sounds uncomfortably plausible. Certainly Osborne started with a terrific reputation for sound political judgment, but it has never been entirely clear what basis that had. Since he became Chancellor it seems to have been one fumble after another.
Much of the article is full of endless special pleading by the rich and their advocates. But it is hard to quarrel with the comment (emphasised in large type at the top right of the article) that
The government has made philanthropists out to be tax dodgers.
The problem is that objectively what Osborne did was thoroughly sensible. A well-known subset of the rich decide after making their pile that it would be nice if people liked them more. So they set about giving away money in return for a reputation as a philanthropist. The paradigm is wanting their name on a public building or a wing of a national art gallery in return for providing part of the funding.
So far so good. It is probably better for society at large for part of their fortune to be spent that way rather than the usual route of slow dissipation by their descendants.
But it is much less clear that the government should match their donations (as explained in the earlier article).
Moreover, the Osborne proposal was extremely modest: he wants to limit the tax relief to donations up to the higher of £50,000 and a quarter of your taxable income. The suggestion that
this debacle could cost the charitable sector £300M a year
made by David Bull, director of Unicef in the UK, sounds overblown – a classic lobbying tactic.
Osborne hedged his bets by announcing that the measure would not be implemented until after a consultation period. But that is certainly politically inept. The likely outcome is that after months of bad publicity he will cave in.
This is not an argument against consulting on government policy. Consulting on the right way of dealing with the banks after the 2007/8 banking crisis was clearly essential. The public may have been baying for blood, but investment banking is an important sector of the economy and probably the only sector in which the UK is a world leader. Hasty action would have been unwise.
The situation here is totally different. No one in government believes for a moment that either the 5% tax cut or the package of compensating measures will make much difference to how much tax the rich pay. It is all about assuaging public anger whilst not upsetting the rich too much. That kind of exercise derives no benefit from elaborate consultations. What is needed is astute political judgment and careful consideration of the details before it is announced as settled policy. This case seems to have had neither.

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
the best way to do this for me is to bring my hands over, this results in a modified weaver stance that is similar to the first position of presenting the firearm, arms bent, gun in front of dominant eye, and wrists forward at an angle to give a level sight picture, it sounds more incorrect of a stance typing then showing you, so i will have Mom take some pictures of the way I shoot when we go to the range today and post them up to demonstrate this
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
I have only one eye, the left one. I'm right handed. Sometimes I shoot lefty, it can be learned. Sometimes a cant helps. Sometimes I just shift my head over or my hand over.
Jim Gregg addresses this issue in his book, worth a read. He goes through how to test for it and how to compensate.

There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
Due to a brain tumor I had removed 10 years ago I have the same issue. So I have invested in a pair of crimson trace laser grips which has helped tremedously. I still train without relying on the grips as not to be too dependent in case of battery drain, bright light etc, but I stand by them 100 percent.
I would rather Die on my Feet than live on my knees. Emilio Zapata.
There are many of Mas Ayoob's grads here, I'm surprised that no one answered. So I will. My son is right handed left eyed, all of uw will have to shoot with non dom hand during Mas's and Marty Hayes intensive classes. So her is the simple technique, and it is very fast. Simply cant the gun at a 20-30 degree angle toward the dom eye and the sight picture is instant. It is the technique I teach in my Military/LEO classes.
I simply have altered my shooting stance to accommodate the same issue.
I have the "affliction". If I try to shoot a long gun right handed. I have to tilt way over the butt stock to get a sight picture. On a handgun, i simply draw right and do like INccwchris says a modified weaver with the front sight in front of the left eye. Just takes practice. Some say to close one eye, but I work better with both eyes open.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Same thing here. I began by tilting my head to the right so I could sight with left eye. Works okay.
Then my son (a Navy small-arms instructor) suggested that I tilt the gun slightly. Rather than hold it in a 12 o'clock, I tilt it to an 11:30 or 11 position. Makes it even easier to line up, don't have to tilt my head as much -- and my accuracy went WAY up.
i also am right handed and left eye dominant, have been all my life . i fire a long gun left handed and hand guns right handed. has never been a problem. just relax and keep both eyes open. more practice it will work out.

JUDGMENT Om Prakash, C.J.
1. At the instance of the Revenue, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (Cochin Bench) referred the following questions, relating to the assessment year 1986-87, under Section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for the opinion of this court :
"(1) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the theatre building can be considered as a plant ?
(2) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the assessee is entitled to higher rate of depreciation on the theatre ?"
2. Similar questions came up for our consideration in I. T. R. Nos. 44 of 1994, 54 and 55 of 1995 (CIT v.

The unseen George Harrison photo album
Rare and previously unseen photographs by and of George Harrison offer a new perspective of his life in the Beatles
Throughout his time as a Beatle and beyond, George Harrison's talents as a photographer were a well-kept secret.
But wherever he went he was seldom without a camera, whether it was on tour with the Beatles, capturing the group in the centre of the maelstrom that was Beatlemania and in their unguarded moments backstage, or recording his private visits to exotic places around the world.
There was one particular subject, however, to which Harrison returned again and again – himself, as if in search of the answer to the question that preoccupied him all his life: who am I?
A new collection of photographs – the ones on these pages are taken either by Harrison, or with his camera; most have never been seen before – and a forthcoming documentary, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, directed by Martin Scorsese and co-produced by Harrison's widow, Olivia, provide a fascinating answer to that question, casting new light on his complex character and on his place in the Beatles.
George Harrison's photo album
Paul McCartney, John Lennon and his wife, Cynthia, in Rishikesh, India, 1968 Photo: Harrisongs Limited 2011
Harrison once described himself as 'living proof of all life's contradictions' – the rock star who freely indulged in all the pleasures which that life had to offer, but who was always drawn to questioning their worth and searching for something more.
In the simplistic caricatures that were drawn of the Beatles in their early days, Harrison was 'the quiet one' – the most introspective and the most watchful. Consider the self-portrait taken when he was about 17; the proto-teddyboy quiff, the cigarette between the fingers suggest a studied teenage insouciance, a James Dean manqué – but the eyes reveal a deeper self-possession, a curiosity about the world, someone who is thinking about things.
'You realise he was more mature than the rest,' says the artist and musician Klaus Voorman, who met Harrison at around the time the photograph was taken, when the Beatles first went to Hamburg, and who became a lifelong friend. 'He was calm. He looked you straight in the face.'
It was in Hamburg, performing for up to six hours a night, sleeping in a broom cupboard behind the screen in a porno cinema, and later at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, its atmosphere vivified by the stench from the overflowing lavatories and the smell of rotting fruit from neighbouring warehouses, that the Beatles phenomenon was born.
No other group or artist before or since has excited the attention and hysteria that the Beatles did. And Harrison's photographs would vividly capture the surreal experience of being caught in the eye of the storm – the absurd motorcades laid on to transport them from remote airfields in Australia, the crush of hysterical fans, and the ravenous camera lenses at the limousine windows.
For Harrison, the thrill would be short-lived. Early on he began to cultivate a detachment from the distorting sense of unreality that adulation breeds, and to recognise that the 'Beatle George' who was being worshipped by the fans was, as he put it, 'just a little part that got played through in this life' and had little to do with the person that was the real George Harrison. Few people can ever have been as well-placed to appreciate that fame and success were only fleeting consolations.
It was a meeting in London in 1966 with the sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar – 'the first person who ever impressed me in my life' – that first awakened Harrison's interest in Indian music and spirituality. What most affected him about Shankar, Harrison said, was his humility. 'That realisation that no matter how great you are, how big you are, there is always something else to know, there's always more to come.'
In 1967 Harrison and the other Beatles met the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and a year later followed him to his ashram in India. For the rest of the group spiritual search was to be a passing fancy; for Harrison it would set the template for the rest of his life. 'Each person has to find for himself a way to inner realisation,' he said. 'I still believe that's the only reason we're on this planet. Everything else is secondary.'
Even as he was pursuing his other loves of playing music, producing films or following the Formula One circuit around the world, meditation and chanting were the central activities of Harrison's day, and he was a regular visitor at Bhaktivedanta Manor, the mock-Tudor manor house near Watford in Hertfordshire that he bought as a gift for the Hare Krishna movement to use as its headquarters.
His ultimate refuge was Friar Park, the neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames that he bought in a state of chronic dilapidation in 1970. He would spend the next 30 years painstakingly restoring the house and cultivating its extraordinary 35-acre gardens, which featured Alpine meadows and a sandstone replica of the Matterhorn, until his death in 2001 at the age of 58.
'What we are now is a result of our past actions, and what we're going to be is a result of our present actions,' he once said. 'So for certain things there's no way out. There's no way I wasn't going to be in the Beatles, even though I didn't know. In retrospect that's what it was, it was a set-up. At the same time, I do have control over my actions… I can try being a pop star for ever and go on TV and be a celebrity. Or I can be a gardener.' Which is what 'Beatle George' ultimately chose to be.

Current Verizon Foundation programs that integrate technology into the classroom have produced impressive results, said the Foundation, including 59 percent of participating teachers reporting improved ability to individualize their instruction; 52 percent of participating students showing increased technology proficiency; 40 percent of participating students demonstrating increased ability in problem solving; and 37 percent showing increased academic achievement.
"If you work alongside teachers and show them exactly how to integrate technology into the classroom in a consistent and meaningful manner with [PD], the results can be very profound," said Rose Stuckey Kirk, vice president-global corporate citizenship and president of the Verizon Foundation.
Verizon already supports a number of STEM educational initiatives, including the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program and the Verizon Innovative App Challenge.
"Not only are these programs providing teachers and students with the technology and learning skills they can put to immediate use, we are measuring the initiatives' results to see if they're making a difference," said Kirk. "Based on teacher feedback and some real-world examples, that's happening."
For example, one Innovative Learning School in Massachusetts saw striking results, reported the Foundation. A number of its students had consistently failed a state standardized test in biology prior to the VILS program, preventing them from graduating and increasing the likelihood that they would drop out. After one year in the program, all the biology students passed.
A survey of students in the inaugural Verizon Innovative App Challenge found that 86 percent of winners were interested in taking future computer programming classes, and 60 percent of winners were likely to pursue a STEM-related career.
Given the initial impact of its programs on thousands of teachers and students, Verizon is expanding its efforts to spur student and teacher innovation in STEM in under-served schools and communities.
These new efforts include a nationwide challenge with software developers to create new applications to enhance math and science education; a virtual teacher training initiative to reach thousands of educators with new ways to integrate science and math technologies in the classroom; an internship program to help students learn critical 21st century skills while solving business problems in their local communities; and student-mentoring programs with Verizon employee volunteers and business partners.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell after finishing her final day of community service in New York.
Photo: AFP
British supermodel Naomi Campbell has been released from a garbage truck garage after completing five days of community service for assaulting her maid.
Campbell sauntered out of the Department of Sanitation facility in Manhattan, making her exit seconds after a garbage truck rolled through the area.
The pavement might as well have been a catwalk: She strutted through in a bare-shouldered, ankle-length shimmering gown and stiletto sandals, then stepped into her silver Rolls Royce and sped away as neighbourhood residents and paparazzi watched.
The 36-year-old model had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing a phone at her maid about a year ago in Campbell's Park Avenue apartment over a missing pair of jeans.
Her maid, Ana Scolavino, required four stitches to her head, since the phone apparently was crystal-encrusted.
Campbell said it was an accident because she did not intend to hit her.
Misdemeanor assault is punishable in New York by up to a year in jail.
In an agreement negotiated with prosecutors, the Manhattan Criminal Court judge sentenced Campbell to serve five days of community service, take anger management classes and pay $US363.32 ($A451.25) in restitution to Scolavino, as well as covering her hospital bills.
